Fig. 20As shown, a first guide groove 17 adapted to the guide protrusion is provided on the inner side of the housing 10 .

[0043] The sliding assembly in this embodiment arranges the middle needle seat in the accommodating cavity of the outer needle seat. The connection between the middle needle seat and the inner needle seat is simple and reliable. Compared with the structural form of the front slide and the rear slide connected end to end in the prior art, the structure is simpler, easier to process, and has lower production costs. The axial size of the sliding assembly is smaller. Since the outer needle seat is subjected to overall force, the overall rigidity of the sliding assembly is better, and the energy loss is smaller during the sliding process in the shell after firing.

[0044] In this embodiment, a convex portion 314 protruding from the upper surface of the outer needle seat body 311 is disposed on the top of the outer needle mounting portion 313 , and the convex portion 314 can also be disposed at the distal end of the outer needle seat body 311 .

[0045] The gland assembly 20 of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, it includes a pressure cover 21, a slide plate 22 and a connecting rod 23. Fig.19 As shown, the far end of the gland 21 is provided with a rotating shaft 212. Fig. 20 As shown, a rotating shaft hole 12 adapted to the rotating shaft 212 is provided at the distal end of the housing 10, and the gland and the housing are hingedly connected by the cooperation of the rotating shaft and the rotating shaft hole.

[0046] In this embodiment, the structure of the slide plate 22 is as follows: Fig.16 As shown, it includes a sliding support portion 221 on the proximal side and an elastic cantilever 222 extending from the sliding support portion to the distal end. The distal end of the elastic cantilever 222 is bent toward the side away from the pressure cover to form a hook-like structure 223. Preferably, an inclined transition portion 224 is also provided between the hook-like structure 223 and the elastic cantilever 222.

[0047] In this embodiment, the slide plate 22 is slidably connected to the housing 10 via the sliding support portion 221. Fig. 20 As mentioned above, a second guide groove 15 adapted to the sliding support portion 221 is provided on the inner side of the housing 10 .

[0048] In this embodiment, a long slot 104 is provided on one side of the housing 10 close to the gland 21, wherein the front middle portion of the slide plate 22 close to the proximal end is exposed to the outside through the long slot 104. One end of the connecting rod 23 is movably connected to the gland 21, and the other end of the connecting rod 23 is movably connected to the proximal end of the slide plate 22, wherein the connection position is located at the position where the long slot 104 is located.

[0049] As a preference, Fig.17As shown, the connecting rod 23 includes a pair of connecting rod arms 231 arranged opposite to each other, one end of the connecting rod arm 231 is connected by a connecting arm 232, and the other end of the connecting rod arm 231 is provided with a hinge column 233. Fig.19 As shown, the pressure cover 21 is provided with a hinge hole 213 adapted to the hinge column 233 .

[0050] As a preference, Fig.16 As shown, in this embodiment, the sliding support portion 221 is provided with a long hole 225 movably connected to the connecting rod, and the connecting arm 232 passes through the long hole 225 and is movably connected to the slide plate. The connecting rod 23 of this embodiment has a simple structure, and the connection method with the gland and the slide plate is fast and efficient, which is convenient for assembly; in particular, the setting of the long hole 225 makes the gland flip up longer.

[0051] In this embodiment, in a natural state, the hook-shaped structure 223 and the protrusion 314 overlap in the height direction, and the hook-shaped structure 223 and the protrusion 314 are combined and separated based on the elasticity of the slide plate.

[0052] In this embodiment, the initial free state is as follows Figure 6 As shown, in this state, the structure of the sliding assembly 30 is as follows Figure 8 As shown, the middle needle seat 32 is in the first position; the state of the needle assembly 90 is as shown Fig. 22 As shown, the elastic cutting blade 911 of the outer needle tube 91 penetrates into the middle needle tube 92 from the incision 921. When biopsy sampling is required, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the pressure cover 21 is flipped up, and the slide plate 22 is driven to slide toward the distal end by the connecting rod 23 until the hook structure 223 passes over the protrusion 314 and hooks the distal end surface of the protrusion 314 .

[0053] Next, the cover 21 is pressed downward. In the initial stroke of the downward pressure, the firing elastic member presses against the middle needle seat, the middle needle seat remains stationary, and the slide plate drives the outer needle seat to move a certain distance toward the proximal end, until Fig. 9 As shown, the outer needle seat moves relative to the middle needle seat until the middle needle seat is in the second position. Fig.23 As shown, the outer needle seat drives the outer needle tube to move relative to the middle needle tube, and the elastic cutting blade 911 is pulled out from the self-incision 921.

[0054] Continue to press the cover down. At this time, the outer needle seat contacts the inner needle seat, and the slide plate drives the sliding assembly to move toward the proximal end until the outer needle seat is in contact with the inner needle seat. Figure 5 As shown, the pressure cover is snapped into place with the shell, wherein the movement of the sliding assembly compresses the firing elastic member, completing the preparation work before firing.

[0055] In this state, the cover is locked with the housing by the cover locking structure 80, so that the biopsy device is kept in the ready-to-fire state.

[0056] As a preference, Fig.18 , Fig.19 As shown, the gland locking structure 80 of this embodiment includes a locking plate 81, a locking protrusion 83, a locking elastic member 85 and a locking groove 214 arranged on the gland. The locking plate 81 is slidably connected to the housing. As a preferred embodiment, Fig. 20 As shown, a limiting plate 14 is provided near the proximal end of the shell to limit the position of the locking plate in the shell, and the distal end of the locking plate 81 is limited by a limiting step 18.

[0057] exist Figure 4 In the state shown, the distal end of the locking plate does not contact the proximal end of the outer needle seat, and the distal end of the locking plate is limited by the limiting step 18. Figure 4 In the state shown, during the process of pressing the pressure cover, the sliding assembly slides toward the proximal end until the proximal end of the outer needle seat contacts the distal end of the locking plate. As the outer needle seat continues to slide toward the proximal end, the locking plate 81 is pushed toward the proximal end, and the locking protrusion 83 is driven to enter the locking groove 214, and the locking elastic member 85 is compressed, that is, Figure 5 In this state, based on the matching relationship between the locking protrusion 83 and the locking groove 214, the pressure cover cannot be turned up. Since the pressure cover cannot be turned up, the sliding assembly is restricted. Figure 5 Shown in cocked position.

[0058] In this embodiment, the locking groove 214 is disposed on the side of the proximal end of the gland facing the housing, and the opening direction of the locking groove 214 faces the distal end. Accordingly, the locking protrusion 83 faces the locking groove 214 .

[0059] Preferably, in this embodiment, the locking protrusion 83 is located outside the housing and is fixedly connected to the locking plate 81 via the support arm 82 .

[0060] In this embodiment, a spring mounting column 84 is provided at the proximal end of the locking plate 81. The locking elastic member 85 is preferably a compression spring. When the gland is locked, the locking elastic member 85 is compressed. When the sliding assembly is fired and released, the locking elastic member drives the locking plate to move toward the distal end, and the locking protrusion 83 moves out of the locking groove 214, releasing the lock on the gland so that the gland can be flipped up again. Figure 1 As shown, a recess 102 is provided on the housing 10 adjacent to the proximal end of the gland. After firing is completed, the operator can operate the gland to flip up at the recess 102 .

[0061] In this embodiment, the pressure cover locking structure is hidden in the pressure cover and the shell, and the pressure cover and the sliding assembly are both locked. The design concept is ingenious. In the ready-to-fire state, the pressure cover locking structure is invisible, which can avoid misoperation.

[0062] In this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the firing mechanism includes a firing button 40 near the distal end of the handle and a tail firing structure 50 located at the proximal end surface of the handle. The operator can press one of the firing button 40 and the tail firing structure 50 to perform a firing operation.

[0063] In this embodiment, Fig.12 , Fig.13 As shown, the firing button 40 includes a button base 42, the button base 42 is provided with a through slot 45 for accommodating the elastic cantilever of the slide plate, and a button 41 is provided at the far end of the button base 42, and the button 41 is provided on the side where the pressure cover is located on the housing, as shown in FIG. Fig.19 As shown, the pressure cover 21 is provided with a button hole 211 adapted to the button 41 .

[0064] In this embodiment, a button arm 43 located below the elastic cantilever is provided at the proximal end of the button base 42, and a hinge portion 44 located between the button 41 and the button arm 43 is also provided on the button base 42. Preferably, in this embodiment, the hinge portion 44 is a hinge hole, and accordingly, a hinge column adapted to be connected to the hinge hole is provided inside the housing.

[0065] In this embodiment, a torsion spring 47 is further provided at the bottom of the button 41 for resetting the button after being pressed.

[0066] like Fig.12 As shown, when firing is required, the button 41 is pressed, causing the firing button 40 to rotate as a whole around the hinge 44, wherein the button arm 43 is lifted upward, thereby lifting the distal end of the elastic cantilever 222, driving the hook structure 223 to release the restriction on the protrusion 314, and the sliding assembly 30 moves toward the distal end under the action of the firing elastic member, thereby achieving firing.

[0067] like Fig.12 , Fig.14 As shown in FIG. 1 , the tail firing structure 50 of this embodiment includes a tail button 51, a firing arm 52 and a resetting elastic member 55. The firing arm 52 is slidably connected to the housing. Fig. 20As shown, the inner side of the housing is provided with a third guide groove 16 adapted to the firing arm 52. The tail button 51 is provided at the proximal end of the housing and fixedly connected to the proximal end of the firing arm 52. The resetting elastic member 55 is preferably a compression spring, which is sleeved on a spring mounting column 54. One end of the spring mounting column 54 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the tail button 51. When the tail button 51 is pressed, the resetting elastic member 55 is compressed. When the pressure on the tail button 51 is released, the resetting elastic member 55 drives the tail button to reset.

[0068] In this embodiment, the end of the firing arm 52 away from the tail button is the firing end. Fig.12 As shown, the firing end abuts against the proximal side of the button arm 43, and is used to drive the button arm 43 to rotate upward around the hinge 44, thereby lifting the distal end of the elastic cantilever 222, driving the hook structure 223 to release the restriction on the protrusion 314, and the sliding assembly 30 moves toward the distal end under the action of the firing elastic member, thereby realizing tail firing.

[0069] Preferably, in this embodiment, a first guiding slope 46 is provided at the bottom of the button arm 43, and correspondingly, a second guiding slope 53 adapted to the first guiding slope 46 is provided at the firing end. The first guiding slope 46 and the second guiding slope 53 cooperate with each other to reduce the resistance when the tail is pressed.

[0070] In this embodiment, Figure 1 , Fig.12 As shown, after the firing preparation is completed, a locking key 70 is also provided to prevent accidental triggering. The locking key 70 includes a locking key base 72 slidably connected to the housing, a locking button 71 extending from the locking key base 72 to the outside of the housing, and a locking protrusion 73 extending from the locking key base to the inside. Fig.12 In the locked state shown, the locking protrusion 73 abuts against the bottom of the button base 42 on one side of the button. In this state, pressing the button 41 cannot drive the button base 42 to rotate because the locking protrusion 73 is supported by the bottom of the button base 42 on this side. Correspondingly, pressing the tail button 51 cannot drive the button base 42 to rotate, thus ensuring that the biopsy device will not be triggered by mistake. When firing is required, the locking button 71 is pushed to drive the locking protrusion 73 away from the bottom of the button base on one side of the button, thereby releasing the restriction on the button base, so that firing can be performed by pressing the button 41 or the tail button 51.

[0071] In this embodiment, a travel limit structure 60 is also included to control and adjust the puncture travel of the needle assembly. Fig. 20 , Fig.21As shown, the travel limit structure 60 includes a limit base 66, a stop base 61, a travel button 64 and a gear limit structure. The limit base 66 is slidably connected in the housing, a pair of stop bases 61 are arranged opposite to each other, and a gap groove 63 for accommodating the outer needle mounting portion and the outer needle seat body is arranged between the pair of stop bases 61, and the proximal end surface of the stop base 61 is a stop surface 62 for interacting with the distal end of the middle needle seat. The travel button 64 is located outside the housing, and the travel button 64 is connected to the limit base 66 through a connecting portion 67 that penetrates the housing wall.

[0072] In this embodiment, the gear position limiting structure is arranged between the limiting base 66 and the inner wall of the shell. Fig.21 As shown, the bottom of the limiting base 66 is provided with a limiting groove 65. Fig. 20 As shown, a plurality of gear convex portions 13 adapted to the limiting grooves 65 are distributed along the length direction on the inner wall of the housing. Figure 5 In the state shown, the position of the travel limit structure 60 can be adjusted by the travel button 64 so that the limit groove 65 is matched with the corresponding gear position protrusion 13.

[0073] As a preferred embodiment, in this embodiment, Fig. 20 As shown, a displacement groove 11 for accommodating the movement of the travel button 64 is provided on the outer wall of the shell.

[0074] exist Figure 5 In the state shown, after adjusting the position of the travel limit structure 60, the button 41 or the tail button 51 is used to fire. After firing, the sliding assembly 30 moves toward the distal end as a whole. During this movement, the state of the sliding assembly 30 is as follows Fig. 9 As shown, the middle needle seat is located at the second position on the distal side, and the outer needle tube and the middle needle tube are in the state as shown in FIG. Fig.23 Until the distal ends of the outer needle mounting portion and the outer needle seat body pass through the gap groove 63, and the distal end of the middle needle seat 32 contacts the stop surface 62 of the stop base 61, the middle needle seat no longer moves toward the distal end due to the blocking effect of the limit base, while the outer needle seat continues to move toward the distal end under the action of inertia. Figure 8 In the state shown in FIG. 1 , during this process, the elastic cutting edge 911 of the outer needle tube 91 enters from the incision 921 of the middle needle tube 92, as shown in FIG. Fig. 22 As shown, the tissue in the tissue cavity 922 is cut.

[0075] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a damping structure 103, such as embossing, a concave-convex staggered structure, etc., is provided on the outer wall of the housing 10 to facilitate single-handed grasping of the handle of the biopsy device.

[0076] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 10 is also provided with a window 101. Fig.10 As shown, a visible marking portion 319 is provided on the outer needle seat 31 , and the visible marking portion 319 is observed through the window 101 to determine the state of the handle of the biopsy device.

[0077] In short, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
