Spinal robotic surgery relies more on image accuracy in order to accurately reconstruct 3D virtual images and realize coordinates, so as to carry out surgical planning and positioning. For example, in a surgical navigation system using a binocular tracker (camera), the coordinate points can be collected by using a camera to identify a reference frame (optical ball) installed at a location such as a patient's lesion. At this time, it can be considered to attach a reference frame to the image receiving end of the CT device, so that the transformation relationship between the reference frame and the camera coordinate system, and between the image receiving end and the reference frame coordinate system based on the principle of coordinate transformation can be comprehensively considered, and the image receiving end can also be included in the spatial information of the 3D virtual image.

[0030] <First Embodiment>

[0031] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the reference device 1 for CT images according to the first embodiment of the present invention is generally constructed to include: a double-layer plane device 100, a locking device 200, a cavity device 300 and a tracing device 400, the double-layer plane device 100 is suitable for being attached to the outer bottom side plane of the cavity device 300 and connected to each other, the cavity device 300 formed with a concave cavity 309 is suitable for being buckled to the image receiving end 22 of the CT device 2 and being attached to the bottom plane of the image receiving end 22 on the inner bottom side of the cavity, the locking device 200 can be connected to the cavity device 300 while abutting against the image receiving end 22, so as to fasten the cavity device 300 and even the reference device 1 to the image receiving end 22 as a whole, wherein:

[0032] The double-layer plane device 100 includes: a connecting column 101, a connecting screw 102, a first plate 103, a second plate 104, and a steel ball (not shown);

[0033] The locking device 200 includes: a main body 201, a sealing cap 202, a first spring 203, a rotating shaft 204, a bayonet handle 205, a sealing cover 206, a locking handle 207, a first screw 208, a locking block 209, a second spring 210, and a housing 213;

[0034] The cavity device 300 includes: a main body 301, a cushion block 302, a second screw 303, and a concave cavity 309;

[0035] The tracer device 400 includes a tracer body 401 , a connection block 402 , a third screw 403 , and an optical ball 404 .

[0036] <Working Principle>

[0037] Since the cavity device 300 can be closely attached to the bottom plane of the image receiving end 22 with its inner bottom side plane, and the second flat plate 104 of the double-layer plane device 100 is also closely attached to the outer bottom side of the cavity device 300, the parallel positional relationship between the second flat plate 104 and the bottom plane of the image receiving end 22 is actually ensured. Therefore, the steel balls fixed at the parallel first and second flat plates 103 and 104 can serve as image markings, and the parts of the patient to which the first and second flat plates 103 and 104 are aimed correspond to the imaging surface captured by the CT device 2.

[0038] Therefore, with the help of the tracking device 400 fixed on the second flat plate 104 and the binocular tracker and other equipment arranged accordingly, the corresponding spatial coordinates of the second flat plate 104 and the image receiving end 22 with a fixed relative position relationship can also be obtained in the 3D virtual image.

[0039] Moreover, with the help of a second tracking device simultaneously provided at the corresponding part of the patient's body, such as the lesion, the lesion can be accurately imaged through the first plate 103, the second plate 104, and the cavity device 300 through the image receiving end 22, thereby reducing the necessity for repeated imaging due to mis-shooting, repeated shooting, etc., and reducing the radiation dose and health risks to patients and medical staff.

[0040] <Cavity device 300>

[0041] The main body 301 of the cavity device 300 can be formed as a box body with a concave cavity 309 of a predetermined depth by using PEEK / 6061 material, which is suitable for being sleeved on the image receiving end 22 from the upper opening, so that the bottom surface of the concave cavity 309 and the bottom surface of the image receiving end 22 are in planar contact with each other without leaving a gap.

[0042] An opening 319 corresponding to the image receiving end 22 may be provided on the lower side of the box body to avoid the working path of the image receiving end 22. A flat plate 318 for closing the opening 319 may also be provided, and a gap-free planar contact between the image receiving end 22 and the cavity device 300 is achieved by abutting the bottom surface of the image receiving end 22 against the flat plate 318.

[0043] The outer bottom surface 320 of the box body is also formed as a planar structure, and can be in planar contact with the second flat plate 104 or the second peripheral planar frame 107 and fastened together without leaving any gap.

[0044] The pads 302 are distributed around the inner side of the box body and are connected and fixed to the main body 301 by second screws 303. The pads 302 can be made of soft materials such as plastic and silica gel to avoid wear and scratches when the main body 301 is buckled to the image receiving end 22.

[0045] Flanges 304 and 306 are provided on the outer periphery of the box body for hingedly connecting the lower end of the locking device 200. The flanges 304 and 306 protrude outward from the box body wall of the main body 301 in the form of U-shaped grooves to form hinge seats, and can be provided at multiple locations along the periphery, and correspondingly provided with shaft holes 307 for passing the rotating shaft 204.

[0046] On the box body wall at the bottom of the U-shaped groove, a first positioning hole 308 is formed which penetrates the box body wall of the main body 301, and a slide groove 305 is formed which guides from the upper side along the box body wall to the first positioning hole 308. The slide groove 305 may have a groove depth which gradually increases as it approaches the first positioning hole 308.

[0047] Although not shown, the outer bottom surface 320 of the main body 301 , in addition to the portion used for plane fitting, may also be formed with a positioning and fastening component for cooperating with the positioning interface 106 described later, so as to facilitate rapid positioning and fastening of the double-layer planar device 100 .

[0048] <Locking device 200>

[0049] The locking device 200 is constructed in an L-shape as a whole, with its lower end connected to the cavity device 300 and its upper end abutting or locking on the image receiving end 22 .

[0050] More specifically, a pivot hole 219 is provided at the lower end side for the rotation shaft 204 to pass through, so as to form a pivot point for the swing of the main body 201. Near the pivot point, a stepped hole 211 is also formed crosswise through the main body 201, for the bayonet handle 205 formed with a stop flange 212 to pass through, and then used to accommodate the first spring 203 and the sealing cap 202 sleeved on the bayonet handle 205. After the sealing cap 202 is screwed to the main body 201, that is, in a state where the first spring 203 applies a biasing force to the bayonet handle 205, the travel range of the stop flange 212 and even the bayonet handle 205 relative to the main body 201 is limited.

[0051] When the stop flange 212 abuts against the base of the step hole 211, the bayonet handle 205 stops moving forward, so that Figure 2 As shown, during the rotation of the main body 201 around the rotating shaft 204 toward the concave cavity 309 , the top of the portion of the bayonet handle 205 extending from the step hole 211 gradually enters the slide groove 305 of the cavity device 300 without interfering with the opening edge of the main body 301 .

[0052] In the adjustable locking mechanism on the upper end side, the lower end of the second spring 210 is seated in the bottom plate groove in the hollow shell 213, and the locking block 209 that can float relative to the hollow shell 213 with the help of the second spring 210 is pressed against the upper end of the second spring 210. The bottom end side of the locking block 209 can be formed with a leg portion passing through the bottom plate opening of the hollow shell 213 (not shown), so that the floating of the locking block 209 is guided and limited by the opening. The top surface of the locking block 209 is pressed against the cover 206 by the rod driven by the locking handle 207, so that the degree of compression of the locking block 209 on the CT device 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the locking handle 207. The cover 206 is fixed to the upper end of the shell 213 via the first screw 208.

[0053] Thus, after the locking device 200 is installed on the flanges 304 and 306 via the rotating shaft 204 , the rotating shaft 204 is shape-locked in the shaft hole 307 so as to be fixed relative to the cavity device 300 , while the main body 201 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 204 .

[0054] After the concave empty cavity 309 of the cavity device 300 is buckled onto the image receiving end 22, when the main body 201 is turned toward the cavity device 300 around the rotation axis 204, the inner end 217 of the bayonet handle 205 first contacts the slide groove 305 of the cavity device 300 and is subjected to a reaction force, driving the stop flange 212 to reversely compress the first spring 203, thereby allowing the main body 201 to continue to rotate while the bayonet handle 205 avoids to the outside until the bayonet handle 205 slides along the slide groove 305 under the biasing force of the first spring 203 and finally inserts the inner end 217 into the first positioning hole 308. At this time, twisting the locking handle 207 will press the locking block 209 downward onto the CT device 2, and the symmetrically distributed locking device 200 realizes the connection between the reference device 1 and the image receiving end 22, thereby forming a relatively fixed position relationship with each other.

[0055] During disassembly, first loosen the locking handle 207. The locking block 209 is lifted away from the top of the image receiving end 22 by the second spring 210, thereby releasing the fixation on the image receiving end 22. Then pull the bayonet handle 205 to release the locking device 200 as a whole. Repeat the same operation on the opposite side.

[0056] <Dual-layer planar device 100>

[0057] like Figure 6 In the double-layer plane device 100 shown, the first plate 103 and the second plate 104 are respectively fixed to the first peripheral plane frame 105 and the second peripheral plane frame 107. The two peripheral plane frames are fixed by connecting screws 102 and connecting columns 101, so that the two peripheral plane frames and the first plate 103 and the second plate 104 are in a spatial position relationship parallel to each other.

[0058] Positioning interfaces 106 may also be distributed on the second peripheral plane frame 107 to achieve corresponding connection with the cavity device 300 and the connection with the connecting block 402 in the tracing device 400, both of which can be connected by screws.

[0059] In addition, steel balls (not shown) of different specifications may be embedded (tightly fitted) on the first flat plate 103 and the second flat plate 104 .

[0060] <Tracer device 400>

[0061] The tracing body 401 of the tracing device 400 is provided with at least three optical balls 404 , and is connected to the second plate 104 via a third screw 403 and a connecting block 402 .

[0062] According to the positioning of the surgical equipment, the tracking device 400 can be optionally installed on one side of the reference device 1 for optical tracking of the surgical robot.

[0063] The above description uses the roughly rectangular image receiving end 22 as an example. Since it has a wide and flat top surface, locking can be achieved by simply rotating the locking device 200 around the rotating shaft 204 and pressing it against the top surface, thereby obtaining a determined relative position relationship between the components.

[0064] <Second Embodiment>

[0065] The second embodiment is described below, which is applicable to the case where the image receiving end 22 is too thick in vertical height or the top surface is uneven but has a substantially flat stepped flange 21 near the image receiving end 22 .

[0066] At this time, you can use, for example Fig.10 The transition pressure-bearing member 500 shown plays the role of an adapter that overlaps the flange 21 to expand and realize a wider and flatter pressure-bearing top surface for the locking block 209 of the locking device 200 to press against.

[0067] like Fig.11 As shown, the transfer pressure-bearing member 500 is constituted as an articulated locking clamp, and the first locking rod 501 and the second locking rod 502 are pre-articulated together in a rotatable manner via the first articulated ends 503 and 504, and can be wrapped around the image receiving end 22 along the circumference while the lower side end face is placed on the flange 21, and then locked by the second locking ends 505 and 506 to be reliably supported on the flange 21. At this time, the upper side end faces of the first locking rod 501 and the second locking rod 502 form a pressure-bearing top face for the locking block 209 of the locking device 200 to press against.

[0068] The above-mentioned adapter pressure-bearing member 500 is shown in a curved rod-shaped structure, but it is not limited to this. As long as it can be constructed in a shape-locking manner, for example, when the image receiving end 22 is constructed as a cylindrical shell, the adapter pressure-bearing member 500 can be constructed of two half sleeves into a sleeve, and the sleeve can be used as long as it can ensure that the bottom side end face can be reliably overlapped on the flange 21. The upper side end face can also be formed into a sleeve flange (not shown) extending radially from the sleeve to further expand the pressure-bearing top surface.

[0069] The locking between the second locking ends 505 and 506 is certainly not limited to the bolt type shown in the figure, and other possible shape-locking structures can also be used as long as the two opposite sides can form a fastening force after docking.

[0070] The adapter pressure-bearing member 500 as an adapter can be constructed as various accessories with different thicknesses, so as to adapt to image receiving terminals 22 of different heights or thicknesses. For example, when the image receiving terminal 22 is a cylinder with a relatively high thickness, a belt or a metal hoop can be bound on the same side of the adapter pressure-bearing member 500 with a correspondingly higher cylinder portion, so that the lower end side of the cylinder abuts against the stepped flange 21 on the housing of the image receiving terminal 22. When the upper flange is pressed by the locking block 209, the downward pressure with the stepped flange as the fulcrum is balanced with the torque of the tightening force or the binding force at the sleeve flange (not shown), so as to form a stable connection.

[0071] In addition, although the cavity device can be adjusted according to different CT devices 2 to achieve the versatility of the device, according to the above embodiment, for example, when formed into the rectangular box shape of the first embodiment, the cavity device 300 can also be attached and fastened to the cylindrical image receiving end 22 by the locking device 200, as long as it has a size that can accommodate the image receiving end 22. Conversely, the same is true when formed into the cylindrical box shape of the first embodiment.

[0072] <Effects of use>

[0073] Initially, the main body 201 of the locking device 200 is in an unfolded state around the rotating shaft 204. Starting from the initial state where the stop flange 212 abuts against the base of the step hole 211, during the rotation of the other end of the locking device 200 toward the cavity device 300, the top of the portion of the bayonet handle 205 extending from the step hole 211 gradually enters the slide groove 305 of the cavity device 300 until the bayonet handle 205 slides along the slide groove 305 and is inserted into the first positioning hole 308 under the biasing force of the first spring 203.

[0074] According to the first embodiment, when in use, the inner bottom end surface of the main body 301 of the entire reference device 1 is relatively abutted against the image receiving end 22 of the CT imaging device 2, and then the main body 201 on both sides is pulled toward the image receiving end 22, until the latch handle 205 is guided into the first positioning hole 308 along the vertical slide grooves 305 on both sides of the main body 301 due to the action of the first spring 203, so that the upper end of the main body 201, that is, the upper end of the bent arm is clamped on the upper end surface of the image receiving end 22 of the CT imaging device 2, and the preliminary positioning is completed at this time, and there is no need to hold the main body 301 for a long time during the tightening process. By tightening the locking handle 207, the locking block 209 is gradually pressed downward against the upper end surface of the image receiving end 22, so that the main body 301 is pulled closer to the side of the image receiving end 22, so that the inner bottom end surface of the main body 301 is tightly fitted with the image receiving end 22 of the CT imaging device 2.

[0075] According to the second embodiment, when in use, the adapter pressure block 500 is overlapped and fastened around the outer shell of the CT device 2 in advance, and then the upper end of the main body 201, that is, the upper end of the bent arm, is clamped on the upper end flange end face of the adapter pressure block 500 with reference to the first embodiment to achieve similar positioning and fastening effects.

[0076] In this way, the step edge on the cylindrical side of the image receiving end 22 of the CT imaging device can also prevent the operator from holding the main body 301 for a long time, and ensure that the inner end surface of the main body 301 is in close contact with the image receiving end 22 of the CT imaging device.

[0077] During disassembly, the locking handle 207 is loosened, the latch handle 205 is pulled out, and then the main body 201 is turned over, so that the main body 301 can be separated from the image receiving end 22 .

[0078] As described above, the main body 301 is a cover frame structure, and the inner side walls of the frame are respectively provided with cushion blocks 302 connected by fixing screws. When the main body 301 and the image receiving end 22 of the CT imaging device 2 are relatively covered, the cushion blocks 302 can prevent the inner wall of the frame from contacting the image receiving end 22, and guide the positioning. In addition, a groove can be provided at one end of the cushion block facing the opening of the box body to guide the image receiving end 22 to slide in.

[0079] According to the CT image reference device 1 of the present invention, when it is installed on a C-arm, for example, the reference device 1 can be easily docked and installed no matter where the C-arm rotates and stops.

[0080] For example, gravity can be used to directly snap the cover onto the receiving end facing upward, or the cover can be snapped onto the receiving end facing sideways or downward from the side or bottom by temporarily lifting it, and the bayonet handle 205 can be used in time for auxiliary positioning and support, and then locked, so that installation and fixing become faster, more convenient and more accurate.

[0081] Although the invention has been described with reference to various specific embodiments, it should be understood that modifications can be made within the spirit and scope of the inventive concepts described. It is therefore intended that the invention not be limited to the embodiments described, but will have the full scope defined by the language of the appended claims.
