[0003] The mechanical arm of a conventional puncture robot is large in size and difficult to enter the CT scanning area. Although a miniaturized puncture robot can enter the CT scanning area, its range of motion is limited.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to make the technical problem solved by the present invention, the technical solution adopted and the technical effect achieved more clearly, the technical solution of the present invention is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0043] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0044] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0045] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right" and other directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplified operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operate in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0046] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a puncture robot, including a translation adjustment mechanism 1, an angle adjustment mechanism 2 and a puncture guide mechanism 3. The translation adjustment mechanism 1 includes a transverse translation adjustment mechanism 11 and a longitudinal translation adjustment mechanism 12. The longitudinal translation adjustment mechanism 12 is connected to the output end of the transverse translation adjustment mechanism 11 and is arranged below the transverse translation adjustment mechanism 11. The angle adjustment mechanism 2 is arranged below the translation adjustment mechanism 1 and connected to the output end of the longitudinal translation adjustment mechanism 12. The puncture guide mechanism 3 is connected to the output end of the angle adjustment mechanism 2 for puncture operation.

[0047] The puncture guide mechanism 3 includes a servo motor, a transmission mechanism and a puncture needle. The servo motor is connected to the puncture needle through the transmission mechanism, so as to realize the puncture drive of the puncture needle. The puncture needle is a disposable puncture needle and is detachably connected to the transmission mechanism.

[0048] By setting the translation adjustment mechanism 1 to adjust the translation range of the puncture guide mechanism 3, the horizontal and vertical dimensions can be adjusted. By adjusting the angle range of the puncture guide mechanism 3 through the angle adjustment mechanism 2, the puncture guide mechanism 3 performs the puncture action, and accurate positioning and automatic puncture can be achieved.

[0049] The translation adjustment mechanism 1 is arranged above the angle adjustment mechanism 2, and is used to drive the angle adjustment mechanism 2 and the puncture guide mechanism 3 to translate as a whole. Such an arrangement makes the angle adjustment fulcrum of the angle adjustment mechanism 2 relatively close to the skin puncture point of the patient. When the angle adjustment mechanism 2 adjusts the angle, only a small translation compensation is required to keep the puncture point unchanged, and a large range of adjustment of the puncture guide mechanism 3 can be achieved without affecting the adjustment range of the longitudinal translation adjustment mechanism 12, so that the space utilization rate of the puncture robot is high.

The second support plate 121 is connected to the first output plate 116. The second precision guide rail 122, the second ball screw 123, the second motor and the second synchronous belt transmission mechanism 124 are all arranged on the second support plate 121. The second motor is connected to the second ball screw 123 through the second synchronous belt transmission mechanism 124, and is used to drive the second ball screw 123 to rotate.

[0052] Both the lateral translation adjustment mechanism 11 and the longitudinal translation adjustment mechanism 12 adopt a combination of double guide rails and a ball screw. The ball screw is located between the two guide rails, which can not only eliminate the backlash at the output end of the translation adjustment mechanism 1 and improve the puncture accuracy; at the same time, it can ensure the rigidity of the translation adjustment mechanism 1, thereby ensuring that the load-bearing angle adjustment mechanism 2 and the puncture guide mechanism 3 are more stable and reliable.

[0053] The first motor and the first precision guide rail 112 are non-coaxially arranged, the second motor and the second precision guide rail 122 are non-coaxially arranged, and the motor and the guide rail are connected by a synchronous belt transmission mechanism, which improves the transmission efficiency, reduces the noise during the transmission process, and saves space.

[0054] The first output plate 116 and the second output plate 126 may be fabricated from sheet metal.

[0055] As an optional solution of the puncture robot, the lateral translation adjustment mechanism 11 also includes a first linear displacement sensor 118 and a first limit switch 119. The first linear displacement sensor 118 and the first limit switch 119 are both arranged on the first support plate 111. The first linear displacement sensor 118 is arranged along the length direction of the first precision guide rail 112, and is used to detect the lateral displacement of the puncture guide mechanism 3; the first limit switch 119 is arranged at both ends of the first precision guide rail 112, and the first limit switch 119 is used to limit the position of the first slider 115.

[0056] In order to ensure the safety of the operation and improve the accuracy of puncture, the first linear displacement sensor 118 is provided to ensure the accuracy of the lateral displacement adjusted by the lateral translation adjustment mechanism 11. The second linear displacement sensor 128 is provided to ensure the accuracy of the longitudinal displacement adjusted by the longitudinal translation adjustment mechanism 12. The first limit switch 119 is used to limit the two extreme positions of the first slider 115, and the second limit switch 129 is used to limit the two extreme positions of the second slider 125.

[0057] The first linear displacement sensor 118 and the second linear displacement sensor 128 can be magnetic scales, grating scales or sliding resistors. The first limit switch 119 and the second limit switch 129 can be mechanical switches or photoelectric limit switches.

[0058] A first encoder is arranged on the driving shaft of the first motor, and the first encoder is used to measure the rotation speed of the first motor. A second encoder is arranged on the driving shaft of the second motor, and the second encoder is used to measure the rotation speed of the second motor.

[0059] During the initial operation of the puncture robot, the absolute positions of the first slider 115 and the second slider 125 are determined through the initialization movement. During the operation, the first linear displacement sensor 118 and the first encoder are calibrated with each other, and the second linear displacement sensor 128 and the second encoder are calibrated with each other to ensure the accuracy of the lateral displacement and longitudinal displacement adjusted by the translation adjustment mechanism 1.

[0060] like Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, as an optional solution for the puncture robot, the angle adjustment mechanism 2 includes a fixed part and a moving part 22, and the moving part 22 includes two symmetrically arranged connecting rod assemblies, the ends of the two connecting rod assemblies are coaxially arranged, and are connected to the puncture guide mechanism 3 through the first universal joint 5. The moving part 22 is arranged as two parallel connecting rod assemblies, which has high adjustment efficiency and stable structure. The ends of the two connecting rod assemblies are connected through the first universal joint 5, so as to realize flexible adjustment of the puncture guide mechanism 3. The fixed part is arranged below the moving part 22 and is connected to the puncture guide mechanism 3 through the second universal joint 6. When the angle is adjusted, the moving part 22 is adjusted, and the position of one end of the moving part 22 connected to the puncture guide mechanism 3 changes relative to the position of one end of the fixed part connected to the puncture guide mechanism 3, so as to realize the angle adjustment of the puncture guide mechanism 3.

[0061] As an optional solution of the puncture robot, the puncture robot also includes a mounting plate 23, the output end of the longitudinal translation adjustment mechanism 12 is connected to the angle adjustment mechanism 2 through the mounting plate 23, and a driving assembly and a transmission assembly 25 are arranged on the mounting plate 23. Two driving assemblies and two transmission assemblies 25 are provided, and two driving assemblies and two transmission assemblies 25 are connected one by one and symmetrically arranged on the mounting plate 23, and each transmission assembly 25 is connected to a connecting rod assembly. The driving assembly drives the moving part 22 through the transmission assembly 25. The second output plate 126 is connected to the mounting plate 23, and the translation adjustment mechanism 1 drives the angle adjustment mechanism 2 and the puncture guide mechanism 3 to translate through the mounting plate 23.

The output shaft of the harmonic reducer 253 is connected to the moving part 22 for driving the moving part 22 to adjust the angle. The output power of the third motor 24 is turned 90 degrees by the first bevel gear 251 and the second bevel gear 252, making the arrangement more compact and saving space. The backlash effect can be effectively eliminated by the harmonic reducer 253, and the large reduction ratio can increase the reverse driving force to prevent the puncture guide mechanism 3 connected to the angle adjustment mechanism 2 from being deformed by force.

[0064] The ends of the two second connecting rods 222 are connected to the first universal joint 5 through a connecting shaft, and the first universal joint 5 is connected to the puncture guide mechanism 3 to ensure the flexibility of angle adjustment.

[0065] As an optional solution of the puncture robot, the angle adjustment mechanism 2 also includes an angle encoder, which is arranged at the connection between the connecting rod assembly and the transmission assembly 25.

[0072] As an optional solution of the puncture robot, the distance between the two first precision guide rails 112 is greater than the first preset distance. The distance between the two first precision guide rails 112 is increased as much as possible to improve the rigidity of the translation adjustment mechanism 1.

[0073] As an optional solution of the puncture robot, the spacing between the two second precision guide rails 122 is smaller than the second preset spacing. The spacing between the two second precision guide rails 122 is controlled within a reasonable range to take into account the rigidity and adjustment range of the translation adjustment mechanism 1.

[0074] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the length direction of the shell 7 is perpendicular to the lateral displacement of the puncture guide mechanism 3. Taking the length L of the shell 7 as a reference, the first preset spacing is 2L / 3.

[0075] The width direction of the housing 7 is perpendicular to the longitudinal displacement of the puncture guide mechanism 3. Taking the width W of the housing 7 as a reference, the second preset spacing is W / 3.

Specifically, the ball assembly 73 includes a ball base 731 and a plurality of balls 732, and the upper and lower end surfaces of the first output window 71 and the upper and lower end surfaces of the second output window 72 are both provided with ball bases 731, and a plurality of balls 732 are spaced apart in the ball bases 731. When the angle adjustment mechanism 2 adjusts the angle, the second connecting rod 222 is rollingly connected to the first output window 71, and the third connecting rod 21 is rollingly connected to the second output window 72, which effectively improves the rigidity of the second connecting rod 222 and the third connecting rod 21.

[0077] As an optional solution for the puncture robot, the width of the second connecting rod 222 and the width of the third connecting rod 21 are both greater than the distance between two adjacent balls 732. Such a setting can ensure that the second connecting rod 222 and the third connecting rod 21 can always contact with at least one ball 732, thereby achieving the purpose of improving rigidity.

[0078] The puncture robot provided in this embodiment is used for microwave ablation surgery during tumor puncture biopsy and liver tumor treatment. During tumor puncture biopsy, the puncture robot uses a puncture needle to perform precise puncture on the patient. During puncture, the puncture robot performs puncture under the guidance of ultrasound, nuclear magnetic resonance or CT images. In microwave ablation surgery, the puncture robot uses an ablation needle to perform precise puncture on the patient. For larger tumors, it is often necessary to perform microwave ablation surgery synchronously after multiple ablation needles are punctured in place. The puncture robot provided in this embodiment meets the requirements of lightweight and miniaturized settings, and can maximize the adjustment range in a limited space. It can be used in application scenarios where multiple puncture needles are punctured at the same time.

[0079] The puncture robot performs puncture under the guidance of ultrasound, MRI or CT images, which can prevent medical staff from being exposed to radiation.

[0080] like Fig.10As shown, in order to establish the coordinate relationship between the puncture robot and the CT image, as an optional solution for the puncture robot, a registration mechanism 4 is provided on the housing 7, and the registration mechanism 4 includes a marker fixing plate 41 and a marker 42. The marker fixing plates 41 are provided on both sides of the length direction of the first output window 71 and the second output window 72, and the marker fixing plates 41 extend from the housing 7 toward the direction close to the puncture guide mechanism 3, and the marker 42 is provided on the marker fixing plate 41. The marker fixing plates 41 are provided on both sides of the length direction of the first output window 71 and the second output window 72 to ensure that the registration mechanism 4 covers the active area of ​​the puncture guide mechanism 3, and the marker 42 can identify the information related to the CT image to ensure the registration between the puncture robot and the CT image.

[0081] The specific method and working principle for identifying the information related to the marker 42 and the CT image are already in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0082] The marker fixing plate 41 is made of a low-density material, such as carbon fiber. The marker 42 is in the shape of a conventional registration marker, and optionally, the marker 42 is a Z-shaped metal wire. In order to ensure that the marker 42 does not produce obvious metal artifacts in CT imaging, a low-density metal material such as aluminum wire is generally selected, and the diameter of the aluminum wire is generally between 0.5 mm and 1 mm.

[0083] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, according to the concept of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scopes. The content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
