Description

Technical Field

[0002] Medical robotics technology is a new interdisciplinary research field integrating medicine, mechanics, computer graphics, robotics, and many other disciplines. Robot-assisted surgery is one of the important areas of medical robotics technology. Image-guided biopsy is an important means of diagnosing and treating tumors. Under the guidance of medical images such as ultrasound, CT, and MRI, a puncture needle is inserted percutaneously into the target area of ​​the soft tissue lesion to perform procedures such as biopsy sampling, radioactive particle implantation, and ablation therapy. However, manual percutaneous puncture surgery also has problems such as high dependence on the doctor's experience, limitations on puncture path selection due to the guide frame, and difficulty in accurately puncturing the target point due to lesion location drift. Robots, with their reliable precision, stability, and safety, have become an ideal way to solve the problems of manual puncture surgery.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] In the description of the invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", "left", "right", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention.

[0032] In the description of the invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "setting," "connection," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, but the connections at various points do not affect the multi-position folding of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] like Figure 1-2 A specific embodiment of a parallel six-DOF puncture robot is shown, characterized in that it includes: a Z-axis movement module I, a parallel module II, a puncture needle feeding module III, a puncture needle rotation module IV, and a puncture needle fixing module V, wherein: the parallel module II is disposed at the front end of the Z-axis movement module I; the puncture needle feeding module III is disposed at the front end of the parallel module II; the puncture needle fixing module V is disposed at the front end of the puncture needle feeding module III; and the puncture needle rotation module IV is disposed on the puncture needle fixing module V and connected to the puncture needle feeding module III.

[0034] Specifically, the Z-axis moving module I drags the puncture robot to move along the Z-axis direction; the parallel module II adjusts the pitch and lateral angles of the puncture needle fixing module V according to the settings, and drags the puncture needle fixing module V, the puncture needle feeding module III, and the puncture needle rotation module IV to move along the X-axis direction according to the settings; the puncture needle feeding module III is equipped with the puncture needle fixing module V at its front end, and the puncture needle feeding module III controls the puncture needle fixing module V to perform feeding motion according to the settings to reach the lesion, organ, or blood vessel; the puncture needle rotation module IV adjusts the puncture needle fixing module V to rotate along the puncture needle axis according to the settings; the puncture needle fixing module V clamps the puncture needle to complete the puncture operation.

[0035] In other preferred embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the Z-axis moving module I includes a first support base 1, a linear guide rail 2, a linear module lead screw 3, and a linear sliding component 4; the linear guide rail 2 is installed on the left and right sides of the first support base 1; the linear module lead screw 3 is installed on the first support base 1; the linear module lead screw 3 is powered by a motor; the linear sliding component 4 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 2 and is screwed to the linear module lead screw 3.

[0036] Specifically, the linear module lead screw 3 and the linear sliding component 4 are engaged by a helical transmission. The motor controls the rotation of the linear module lead screw 3, which in turn pushes the linear sliding component 4 to move along the linear guide rail 2. Since the linear sliding component 4 is fixedly connected to the external support structure, the first support base 1 can then drag the parallel module II to perform linear translation along the Z-axis.

[0037] In other preferred embodiments, the parallel module II includes a second support base 5, a first servo push rod, a first rotary joint 6, a mounting bracket 7, a rotating shaft 8, a second rotary joint 9, and a parallel mechanism end bracket 19; the second support base 5 and the first support base 1 are fixedly connected; the first servo push rod is provided in three sets, one set of which is mounted on the second support base 5, and the other two sets are respectively hinged to both ends of the rotating shaft 8; the mounting bracket 7 is mounted above the second support base 5; the first rotary joint 6 is mounted on the other end of the first servo push rod on the second support base 5; the second rotary joint 9... The auxiliary 9 is installed at the other end of the two sets of first servo push rods hinged to the rotating shaft 8; the upper end of the mounting bracket 7 has a through hole; the rotating shaft 8 is rotatably installed in the through hole of the mounting bracket 7 and is concentrically fitted with the through hole; the parallel mechanism end bracket 19 is composed of the parallel mechanism end bracket body 34, the shaft-mounted base 1 35, and the shaft-mounted base 2 36; the parallel mechanism end bracket body 34 is rotatably connected to the shaft-mounted base 1 35 and the shaft-mounted base 2 36 respectively through pins; the shaft end face of the shaft-mounted base 2 36 is rotatably connected to the first rotating pair 6; the shaft end face of the shaft-mounted base 1 35 is rotatably connected to the second rotating pair 9.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 5-10 As shown, the two sets of first servo push rods set on the mounting bracket 7 perform telescopic movements according to the settings, adjusting the position and direction of the second rotary joint 9; the first servo rod set on the support base of the parallel module II performs telescopic movements according to the settings, adjusting the position of the first rotary joint 6; the parallel module realizes the pitching movement, lateral movement, and movement along the X-axis of the puncture needle fixing module by adjusting the position of the first rotary joint 6 and the position and direction of the second rotary joint 9.

[0039] Specifically, the pitching motion of the puncture needle fixing module V is achieved by the joint movement of three first servo push rods within the parallel module II. By keeping the first lead screw on the second support base 5 stationary, the two sets of first lead screws on the mounting bracket 7 rotate in the same direction, pushing their respective first sliders 17 to move linearly; or, by keeping the two sets of first lead screws on the mounting bracket 7 stationary, the first lead screw on the second support base 5 moves, pushing the corresponding first sliders 17 to move linearly; thereby pushing the end bracket 19 of the parallel mechanism to deflect around the Y-axis, realizing the deflection motion of the puncture needle fixing module V around the Y-axis.

[0040] Specifically, the lateral swing motion of the puncture needle fixing module V is mainly achieved by the joint movement of three first servo push rods within the parallel module II. By controlling the first lead screw on the second support base 5 to remain stationary, the two sets of first lead screws on the mounting frame 7 perform differential motion, pushing their respective first sliders 17 to move linearly. The two sets of first servo push rods on the mounting frame 7, the second rotary joint 9, and the rotating shaft 8 form a planar trapezoid, where the two sets of first servo push rods are the two sides of the trapezoid, the second rotary joint 9 is the upper base of the trapezoid, and the rotating shaft 8 is the lower base of the trapezoid. At this time, the two sets of first lead screws on the mounting frame 7 perform differential motion, changing the length of the two sets of first servo push rods, that is, the length of the two sides of the trapezoid changes. Due to the constraints of the parallel structure, the second rotary joint 9 cannot perform deflection motion around the Z-axis during the movement, so the upper and lower bases of the trapezoid will always remain parallel. The lower base of the trapezoid is fixed, and since the upper and lower bases are always parallel, when the length of the two sides changes, the position of the upper base will be translated and the solution is unique, that is, the second rotary joint 9 performs translation on the trapezoidal plane;

[0041] Specifically, the first lead screw on the second support base 5 remains stationary, while the two sets of first lead screws on the mounting bracket 7 perform differential motion, changing the lengths of the two sets of first servo push rods. After the motion, the length of the first servo push rod on the upper right is greater than the length of the first servo push rod on the upper left, thereby driving the second rotary joint 9 to move along the negative Y-axis, which in turn drives the end bracket 19 of the parallel mechanism to deflect around the positive X-axis, thus realizing the deflection motion of the puncture needle fixing module V around the X-axis.

[0042] Specifically, the first lead screw on the second support base 5 remains stationary, while the two sets of first lead screws on the mounting bracket 7 perform differential motion, changing the lengths of the two sets of first servo push rods. After the motion, the length of the first servo push rod on the upper left is greater than the length of the first servo push rod on the upper right, thereby driving the second rotary joint 9 to move along the positive Y-axis, which in turn drives the end bracket 19 of the parallel mechanism to deflect around the negative X-axis, thus realizing the deflection motion of the puncture needle fixing module V around the X-axis.

[0043] Specifically, the movement of the puncture needle fixing module V along the X-axis is mainly achieved by the joint movement of the three first servo push rods within the parallel module II. Since the parallel module II of this robot is composed of three first servo push rods, the coordinated action of these three first servo push rods is required to achieve the linear translation of the puncture needle 37 along the X-axis. That is, controlling the synchronous rotation of the three first lead screws pushes their respective first sliders 17 to move linearly, thereby pushing the end bracket 19 of the parallel mechanism to move linearly along the X-axis, thus realizing the translational movement of the puncture needle fixing module V along the X-axis.

[0044] In other preferred embodiments, the first servo push rod includes a push rod base 10, a first motor bracket 11, a first motor 12, a preload base 13, a first lead screw, and a first slider 17; the preload base 13 is mounted above the push rod base 10; the first motor bracket 11 is mounted above the preload base 13; the first motor 12 is mounted on the first motor bracket 11; the push rod base 10 has an internal cavity; the first lead screw and the first slider 17 are disposed within the cavity of the push rod base 10; the first slider 17 has a threaded hole; the first slider 17 is screwed to the first lead screw through the threaded hole; the first motor 12 is powered by a drive pulley; the first lead screw is connected to a driven pulley; the drive pulley is connected to the driven pulley through a synchronous belt 18; the preload base 13 has a grooved track at its bottom and a limiting baffle 14 on its side; the limiting baffle 14 has a threaded hole; the limiting baffle 14 is screwed to a preload bolt 15 through the threaded hole.

[0045] Specifically, the first motor 12 drives the first lead screw to rotate via the synchronous belt 18, thereby driving the first slider 17 to move; the first motor bracket 11 is set above the pre-tightening base 13 through a groove fit, and under the pushing action of the pre-tightening bolt 15, it drags the first motor 12 to slide along the groove to achieve pre-tightening.

[0046] In other preferred embodiments, the puncture needle feed module III includes a second servo push rod, a six-dimensional torque sensor 21, a puncture needle support 22, and a hexagonal prism pin 28; one end of the six-dimensional torque sensor 21 is fixedly connected to the puncture needle support 22, and the other end is hinged to the fixed base of the puncture needle fixing module V; one end of the puncture needle support 22 is fixedly connected to the six-dimensional torque sensor 21, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first slider 17; the hexagonal prism pin 28 is disposed below the second servo push rod; the hexagonal prism pin 28 is inserted into the hexagonal pin groove on the end bracket 19 of the parallel mechanism.

[0047] Specifically, by changing the fitting angle between the hexagonal prism pin 28 and the hexagonal pin slot during insertion, the piercing feed module can be installed flexibly at multiple angles.

[0049] Specifically, the second motor 27 drives the second lead screw 25 to rotate via the synchronous belt 18, thereby causing the second slider 26 and the puncture needle holder 22 connected to the second slider 26 to move up and down.

[0050] In other preferred embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the puncture needle rotation module IV includes a second motor bracket 29, a third motor 30, a third motor output shaft, a first connecting rod 31, and a second connecting rod 32; the second motor bracket 29 is disposed on the puncture needle fixing module V; the third motor 30 is disposed on the second motor bracket 29; the third motor output shaft and the third motor 30 are poweredly connected; the first connecting rod 31 and the third motor output shaft are concentrically coupled; one end of the second connecting rod 32 is concentrically coupled with the first connecting rod 31 to form a rotating pair, and the other end is concentrically coupled with the puncture needle bracket 22 to form a rotating pair.

[0051] Specifically, the first link 31, the second link 32, the puncture needle support 22, and the puncture needle fixing module V constitute a hinged four-bar linkage; the third motor 30 drives the first link 31 to rotate, and the six-dimensional torque sensor 21 and the fixing base 33 of the puncture needle fixing module are hinged, which can drive the puncture needle fixing module V to rotate around the puncture needle as the axis.

[0053] Specifically, multiple infrared optical positioning balls 38 are set above the puncture needle 37 to realize the positioning and calibration of the puncture needle's posture and position during operation.
