Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular to a catheter control device and control method for a vascular intervention robot. Background Art
[0002] During vascular interventional procedures, a hollow tubular catheter is inserted into the patient's body through a sheath. The sheath is inserted into the patient's blood vessels and the catheter is fixedly connected to a Y-shaped valve. The Y-shaped valve is a hollow structure with one end connected to the catheter's input end and the other end connected to an interventional material, such as saline, contrast agent, or other substances commonly used in medical devices. The catheter then serves as a channel for the injection of saline or contrast agent or the delivery of medical devices.
[0003] Controlling catheter delivery through surgical robots can reduce operating time for medical staff in radiation environments while offering greater precision and stability than manual operation. Catheter delivery and rotation are core functions of interventional robots, as catheters are thin-walled, hollow, and elongated tubes that are difficult to deliver and rotate over long distances.
[0004] In response to the above problems, there are some solutions in the prior art, such as patent number 2014800566205, and the invention is named "Guided Catheter Controlled Flexible Track", which solves the delivery and rotational guidance problems of the catheter by adding an auxiliary channel between the sheath and the robotic arm. The auxiliary channel is usually a C-section sleeve, which is installed concentrically or parallel to the catheter. During the operation, the two ends of the auxiliary channel are relatively stationary, one end is connected to the sheath, and the other end is connected to the robotic arm, and the catheter slides and rotates in the auxiliary channel. However, in the above solution, it is necessary to design a complex opening structure at the auxiliary channel corresponding to the connection end of the catheter and the Y-valve, so that the catheter can enter or exit the auxiliary channel, and the middle section of the auxiliary channel remains closed to prevent the catheter from falling out. However, some auxiliary channels still have the risk of catheter falling out, and during the catheter transportation process, there is always relative friction between the consumable box and the auxiliary channel, which will have the risk of pulling the sheath.

[0023] Another aspect of the present application further provides a method for controlling a catheter for a vascular intervention robot. The method is based on the aforementioned catheter control device for a vascular intervention robot:
[0024] 1) When inlet control is required, the following steps are included:
[0025] Step a1: When the two controllable elastic deformation devices are in an initial state without deformation, a catheter is inserted, the controllable elastic deformation device corresponding to the movable end base is referred to as a first controllable elastic deformation device, and the controllable elastic deformation device corresponding to the fixed end base is referred to as a second controllable elastic deformation device. At this time, the first controllable elastic deformation device is in an initial position, and the initial position satisfies that the first controllable elastic deformation device does not contact the sheath tube or the patient.
[0026] Step a2: Control the first controllable elastic deformation device to release the catheter, and control the second controllable elastic deformation device to clamp the catheter, and control the movable end base to drive the first controllable elastic deformation device to move away from the sheath tube until it moves to a maximum movement stroke position, wherein the maximum movement stroke position is: on the premise that the catheter can smoothly enter the sheath tube, the maximum distance between the first controllable elastic deformation device and the sheath tube, at which time, the catheter between the first controllable elastic deformation device and the sheath tube will not bend;
[0027] Step a3: Controlling the first controllable elastic deformation device to clamp the catheter, and the second controllable elastic deformation device to release or clamp the catheter, controlling the power assembly to move, thereby driving the consumable assembly to move toward the sheath, so that the catheter passes through the sheath and enters the blood vessel, until the first controllable elastic deformation device moves to the initial position;
[0028] Step a4: Repeat steps a2 and a3 to insert the catheter A into the blood vessel;
[0029] 2) When the withdrawal control is required, the following steps are included:
[0030] Step b1, controlling the first controllable elastic deformation device to be in an initial position;
[0031] Step b2: controlling the first controllable elastic deformation device to clamp the catheter, and the second controllable elastic deformation device to release or clamp the catheter, controlling the power assembly to move, thereby driving the consumable assembly to move away from the sheath, so that the catheter is withdrawn from the blood vessel through the sheath, until the first controllable elastic deformation device moves to a maximum travel position;
[0032] Step b3: controlling the first controllable elastic deformation device to release the catheter and the second controllable elastic deformation device to clamp the catheter, and controlling the movable end base to drive the first controllable elastic deformation device to move toward the sheath tube until it moves to an initial position;
[0033] Step b4: Repeat steps b2 and b3 to remove the catheter from the blood vessel;
[0034] 3) When the catheter needs to be rotated, the following steps are included:
[0035] Step c1: inserting the catheter into the two controllable elastic deformation devices when they are in an initial state without deformation;
[0036] Step c2, controlling at least one controllable elastic deformation device to clamp the catheter. When both controllable elastic deformation devices are controlled to clamp the catheter, jump to step c31; when only one controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to clamp the catheter, jump to step c32;
[0037] Step c31: At this time, the fixed end base and the movable end base are both equipped with rotating gears through the gear positioning support structure. The rotating gear corresponding to the movable end base is recorded as the first rotating gear, and the rotating gear corresponding to the fixed end base is recorded as the second rotating gear. The first rotating gear and the second rotating gear are driven to rotate simultaneously in the same direction to realize the rotation of the catheter;
[0038] Step c32 is divided into the following two cases:
[0039] First, at this time, a rotating gear is provided on the movable end base or the fixed end base corresponding to the controllable elastic deformation device, and the rotating gear is controlled to rotate to realize the rotation of the catheter;
[0040] Second, alternately controlling the first controllable elastic deformation device and the second controllable elastic deformation device to clamp the catheter is divided into the following four situations:
[0041] Second, a rotating gear is mounted on the fixed end base / mobile end base via a gear positioning support structure, and a mounting plate is provided on the mobile end base / fixed end base. When the controllable elastic deformation device corresponding to the rotating gear clamps the catheter, the rotating gear is driven to rotate to achieve the rotation of the catheter; when the controllable elastic deformation device corresponding to the mounting plate clamps the catheter, the catheter does not rotate, thereby achieving intermittent rotation control of the catheter;
[0042] Second, rotating gears are mounted on both the fixed end base and the movable end base via a gear positioning support structure. The two rotating gears are driven to rotate simultaneously in the same direction or alternately in the same direction. That is, when the first controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to clamp the catheter, the first rotating gear corresponding to the first controllable elastic deformation device is driven to rotate to achieve rotation of the catheter.
[0043] Second, rotating gears are assembled on both the fixed end base and the movable end base through a gear positioning support structure. When the two rotating gears have no gaps, or have tiny gaps and the tiny gaps do not affect the full rotation of the two rotating gears, and in the step c2, the first controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to clamp the catheter, and the first rotating gear and the second rotating gear are driven to rotate in opposite directions. Then, the first controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to release the catheter, and the second controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to clamp the catheter, and the first rotating gear and the second rotating gear are driven to rotate in directions opposite to the previous rotation directions respectively. Then, the first controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to clamp the catheter, and the second controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to release the catheter. The above operations are repeated to achieve continuous rotation of the catheter in one direction.
[0044] Twenty-four, rotating gears are assembled on both the fixed end base and the movable end base through a gear positioning support structure. When there is a large gap between the two rotating gears, and the gap is too large to achieve a full circle rotation, and in the step c2, the first controllable elastic deformation device is made to clamp the catheter, and the first rotating gear and the second rotating gear are driven to rotate in opposite directions. When the catheter is rotated to the corresponding limit stroke position, the first controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to release the catheter, and the second controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to clamp the catheter. Thereafter, the first rotating gear and the second rotating gear are driven to rotate respectively in a direction opposite to the previous rotation direction until they are rotated to the corresponding limit stroke position. Thereafter, the first controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to clamp the catheter, and the second controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to release the catheter. The above operation is repeated to achieve continuous rotation of the catheter in one direction.
[0045] 4) When it is necessary to realize the simultaneous rotation of the catheter while advancing / retreating the catheter, the relevant steps of the catheter advancement control / the relevant steps of the catheter retreat control and the relevant steps of the catheter rotation can be performed simultaneously, wherein mutually adaptive control methods are selected in the relevant steps of the catheter rotation and the relevant steps of the catheter advancement control / the catheter retreat control.
[0046] The beneficial effect of this solution of the present application is that the above-mentioned catheter control device and control method for the vascular intervention robot can realize translational control and rotational control of the catheter. Since the catheter is clamped by a controllable elastic deformation device during the process of advancing / retracting the catheter and rotating the catheter, slipping and catheter dislodging during catheter delivery can be avoided, which effectively improves the accuracy of catheter delivery and effectively reduces the failure rate of the catheter delivery process, making the surgical operation more accurate and the operation smoother. In addition, the catheter control device and control method for the vascular intervention robot involved in the present application will not pull the sheath, thereby reducing the surgical risk.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0062] The specific implementation of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0063] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "first", "second", etc. are used to distinguish similar objects, rather than to describe or indicate a specific order or sequence. The terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.
[0064] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the catheter control device for a vascular intervention robot involved in the present application includes a robotic arm connection part 3 for fixing on the robotic arm, a power assembly 2 can move along the conveying direction of the catheter A relative to the robotic arm connection part 3, and a consumable assembly 1 is detachably connected to the power assembly 2. The consumable assembly 1 is used to carry the catheter A and the Y-type valve B connected to the catheter A. When the power assembly 2 moves, it can drive the consumable assembly 1 to move along the conveying direction of the catheter A.

The power component 2 can drive the first screw rod 105 to drive the movable end base 107 to move in the opposite direction of the conveying direction of the catheter A. A controllable elastic deformation device is provided on both the fixed end base 106 and the movable end base 107. When controlled, the controllable elastic deformation device can clamp the catheter A, thereby realizing the translation control of the catheter A.
[0065] When the robotic arm is positioned, the initial position of the controllable elastic deformation device corresponding to the mobile end base 107 is determined, and the initial position satisfies that the controllable elastic deformation device does not contact the sheath C and the patient; the maximum moving stroke position of the controllable elastic deformation device corresponding to the mobile end base 107 is: on the premise that the catheter A can smoothly enter the sheath C, the maximum distance between the controllable elastic deformation device and the sheath C. At this time, the catheter A between the controllable elastic deformation device and the sheath C will not bend.
[0066] In order to simultaneously achieve translational control and rotational control of the catheter A, a rotating gear is assembled on the fixed end base 106 and / or the movable end base 107 through a gear positioning support structure.

[0082] The catheter control method for a vascular intervention robot involved in this application includes the following steps:
[0083] 1) When inlet control is required, such as Figure 13 shown
[0084] Step a1. When the two controllable elastic deformation devices are in the initial state without deformation, the catheter A is installed, and the controllable elastic deformation device corresponding to the movable end base 107 is recorded as the first controllable elastic deformation device, and the controllable elastic deformation device corresponding to the fixed end base 106 is recorded as the second controllable elastic deformation device. At this time, the first controllable elastic deformation device is in the initial position, and the initial position satisfies that the first controllable elastic deformation device does not contact the sheath C and the patient.
[0085] Step a2, control the first controllable elastic deformation device to loosen the catheter A, and make the second controllable elastic deformation device clamp the catheter A, control the movable end base 107 to drive the first controllable elastic deformation device to move away from the sheath C until it moves to the maximum movement stroke position, and the maximum movement stroke position is: on the premise that the catheter A can smoothly enter the sheath C, the maximum distance between the first controllable elastic deformation device and the sheath C, at this time, the catheter A between the first controllable elastic deformation device and the sheath C will not bend.
[0086] Step a3: Control the first controllable elastic deformation device to clamp the catheter A, and the second controllable elastic deformation device to loosen or clamp the catheter A, control the power component 2 to move, and then drive the consumable component 1 to move toward the direction close to the sheath C, so that the catheter A passes through the sheath C into the blood vessel until the first controllable elastic deformation device moves to the initial position.
[0087] Step a4: Repeat steps a2 and a3 to deliver the catheter A into the blood vessel.
[0088] 2) When withdrawal control is required
[0089] Step b1: Control the first controllable elastic deformation device to be in an initial position.
[0090] Step b2: control the first controllable elastic deformation device to clamp the catheter A, and the second controllable elastic deformation device to loosen or clamp the catheter A, control the power component 2 to move, and then drive the consumable component 1 to move in the direction away from the sheath C, so that the catheter A withdraws from the blood vessel through the sheath C until the first controllable elastic deformation device moves to the maximum movement stroke position.
[0091] Step b3: control the first controllable elastic deformation device to release the catheter A, and make the second controllable elastic deformation device clamp the catheter A, and control the movable end base 107 to drive the first controllable elastic deformation device to move toward the direction close to the sheath C until it moves to the initial position.
[0092] Step b4: Repeat steps b2 and b3 to remove the catheter A from the blood vessel.
[0093] 3) When the catheter needs to be rotated
[0094] Step c1: When the two controllable elastic deformation devices are not deformed and are in the initial state, the catheter A is installed.
[0095] Step c2, control at least one controllable elastic deformation device to clamp the catheter A. When both controllable elastic deformation devices are controlled to clamp the catheter A, jump to step c31; when one of the controllable elastic deformation devices is controlled to clamp the catheter A, jump to step c32.
[0096] Step c31. At this time, the fixed end base 106 and the movable end base 107 are both equipped with rotating gears through a gear positioning support structure. The rotating gear corresponding to the movable end base 107 is recorded as a first rotating gear 108, and the rotating gear corresponding to the fixed end base 106 is recorded as a second rotating gear 109. The first rotating gear 108 and the second rotating gear 109 are driven to rotate simultaneously in the same direction to realize the rotation of the catheter A.
[0097] Specifically, in step c31 , the first rotating gear 108 and the second rotating gear 109 are driven to rotate simultaneously in the same direction, which can be achieved by rotating the driving spline shaft and the spline gear 1018 .
[0098] Step c32 is divided into the following two cases:
[0099] First, at this time, a rotating gear is provided on the movable end base 107 or the fixed end base 106 corresponding to the controllable elastic deformation device, and the rotation of the rotating gear is controlled to realize the rotation of the catheter A.
[0100] Second, alternately controlling the first controllable elastic deformation device and the second controllable elastic deformation device to clamp the catheter A is divided into the following four situations:
[0101] Second, a rotating gear is assembled on the fixed end base 106 / mobile end base 107 through a gear positioning support structure, and a mounting plate 1010 is provided on the mobile end base 107 / fixed end base 106. When the controllable elastic deformation device corresponding to the rotating gear clamps the catheter A, the rotating gear is driven to rotate to realize the rotation of the catheter A; when the controllable elastic deformation device corresponding to the mounting plate 1010 clamps the catheter A, the catheter A does not rotate, thereby realizing intermittent rotation control of the catheter A.
[0102] Second, rotating gears are installed on both the fixed end base 106 and the movable end base 107 through a gear positioning support structure. At this time, the two rotating gears are driven to rotate in the same direction at the same time or the two rotating gears are driven alternately to rotate in the same direction (that is, when the first controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to clamp the catheter A, the first rotating gear 108 corresponding to the first controllable elastic deformation device is driven to rotate) to realize the rotation of the catheter A.
[0103] Second, rotating gears are assembled on both the fixed end base 106 and the movable end base 107 through a gear positioning support structure. When the two rotating gears have no gaps, or have tiny gaps and the tiny gaps do not affect the full rotation of the two rotating gears, and in the step c2, the first controllable elastic deformation device is made to clamp the catheter A, and the first rotating gear 108 and the second rotating gear 109 are driven to rotate in opposite directions. Then, the first controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to release the catheter A, and the second controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to clamp the catheter A, and the first rotating gear 108 and the second rotating gear 109 are driven to rotate in directions opposite to the previous rotation direction respectively. Then, the first controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to clamp the catheter A, and the second controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to release the catheter A. The above operations are repeated to realize the continuous rotation of the catheter A in one direction.
[0104] Twenty-four, rotating gears are assembled on both the fixed end base 106 and the movable end base 107 through a gear positioning support structure. When there is a large gap between the two rotating gears, and the gap is too large to achieve a full circle rotation, and in the step c2, the first controllable elastic deformation device is used to clamp the catheter A, and the first rotating gear 108 and the second rotating gear 109 are driven to rotate in opposite directions. When they rotate to the corresponding limit stroke position, the first controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to release the catheter A, and the second controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to clamp the catheter A. Then, the first rotating gear 108 and the second rotating gear 109 are driven to rotate in the direction opposite to the previous rotation direction, respectively, until they rotate to the corresponding limit stroke position. Then, the first controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to clamp the catheter A, and the second controllable elastic deformation device is controlled to release the catheter A. Repeating the above operations can achieve continuous rotation of the catheter A in one direction, such as Figure 14 shown.
[0105] Specifically, in step c32 , driving the first rotating gear 108 and the second rotating gear 109 to rotate can be achieved by rotating the driving spline shaft and the spline gear 1018 .
[0106] 4) When it is necessary to realize the simultaneous rotation of the catheter while advancing / retreating the catheter, the relevant steps of the catheter advancement control / the relevant steps of the catheter retreat control and the relevant steps of the catheter rotation can be performed simultaneously, wherein mutually adaptive control methods are selected in the relevant steps of the catheter rotation and the relevant steps of the catheter advancement control / the catheter retreat control.
[0107] The catheter control device and control method for the vascular intervention robot involved in the present application can realize the translational control and rotational control of the catheter. Compared with the existing technology, it does not require a complex auxiliary channel structure. Since the catheter is clamped by a controllable elastic deformation device during the process of advancing / retreating the catheter and rotating the catheter, it can avoid slipping and catheter dislodging during catheter delivery, effectively improving the accuracy of catheter delivery and effectively reducing the failure rate of the catheter delivery process, making the surgical operation more accurate and the operation smoother. In addition, the catheter control device and control method for the vascular intervention robot involved in the present application will not pull the sheath, thereby reducing the surgical risk.
[0108] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and concept of the present application within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, and they should be covered by the scope of protection of the present application.
