Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medicine, especially robot-assisted ultrasound-guided puncture, and particularly relates to an integrated device for ultrasound scanning and puncture. Background Art

[0002] In the process of traditional ultrasound-guided puncture, a doctor holds an ultrasound probe in one hand and a puncture needle in the other hand. Since both the ultrasound probe and the puncture needle have high flexibility, it is difficult to coordinate them. Therefore, during the puncture process, the doctor is easily affected by the muscle resistance and skin slippage of the patient, and the puncture direction and position are deviated.

[0003] More importantly, the coordinate relationship between the ultrasound image and the puncture needle is not clear. Even with the aid of optical or magnetic positioning means, due to the inherent defects of the technology and the deformation of the puncture structure, it is still difficult to improve the puncture accuracy. At present, there are also design schemes for integrating a puncture mechanism with an ultrasound probe. Some are too simple in structure and can only meet the simple need of superficial biopsy; some are too bulky and inconvenient to operate in the interventional operating room environment, all ignoring the need of the ultrasound probe for force control and adaptive attitude adjustment.

[0004] Generally speaking, the following problems mainly exist: 1. Difficult to adjust: The mechanisms of ultrasound imaging and puncture lack sufficient constraints, and doctors cannot focus on adjusting appropriate puncture indicators; 2. Difficult to connect: The ultrasound scanning and positioning puncture processes are separated, and it is difficult to connect them with each other; 3. Low accuracy: The coordinate relationship between imaging and puncture is complex, and multiple-level conduction brings obvious errors, which are difficult to make up for even with the aid of optical or magnetic positioning means.

The free through holes of the left small fan plate 3 and the right small fan plate 5 are penetrated by the puncture cannula 6 to form a revolute pair.

[0036] As Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in the middle of the rear fan-shaped wide wall plate of the puncture umbrella 1, there is an opening for a box-shaped structure, which is sealed by an L-shaped cover plate at the upper part. Each of the left and right box walls is provided with a slide rail, and the rear box wall is further provided with a wide slide rail with a slot in the center. The lower part of the box-shaped structure is open. The magnetic grating read head 7 is installed on the right box wall of the box-shaped structure of the puncture umbrella 1 near the outside. The puncture needle 8 is placed inside the puncture cannula 6.

[0037] As Figure 5 As shown, the scanning pressure adjustment mechanism includes an up-and-down telescopic box 9, a pressure loading plate 10, a tension spring 11, and a pressure adjustment slider 12. The up-and-down telescopic box 9 is box-shaped and only open at the rear side. The left and right sides are installed on the slide rails of the left and right box walls of the puncture umbrella 1, so that the up-and-down telescopic box 9 can slide up and down inside the box-shaped structure of the puncture umbrella 1. A magnetic strip is attached to the outer side of the right wall, maintaining a constant distance from the magnetic grating read head 7 to record the movement displacement of the up-and-down telescopic box 9. The pressure loading plate 10 is L-shaped and is installed on the wide slide rail of the rear box wall of the puncture umbrella 1 and can slide up and down. A screw hole is provided in the middle, and the lower L-shaped protrusion extends forward into the up-and-down telescopic box 9, and several tension springs 11 are hung on it.

[0039] As Figure 6 As shown, the probe clamping mechanism includes a pressure sensor 13, a probe seat quick-installation plate 14, a probe seat 15, a probe cover 16, and an ultrasonic probe 17. The pressure sensor 13 is installed in front of the up-and-down telescopic box 9 at a position near the lower end. The probe seat quick-installation plate 14 is a square thick plate with arc-shaped smooth surfaces on the left and right sides, a protrusion is provided near the upper part, and a screw hole is provided at the rear side of the middle to be fixed to the pressure sensor 13. The rear side of the probe seat 15 has a C-shaped structure, hugs the probe quick-installation plate 14 from left and right, and can slide into the probe quick-installation plate 14 from bottom to top, and is clamped and fixed through the protrusion on the upper part of the probe quick-installation plate 14. The front end of the probe seat 15 and the probe cover 16 are tightened together and fixed by bolts. Concave pits are provided in the middle according to the outer curvature of the ultrasonic probe 17 to firmly hold the ultrasonic probe 17 in it.

[0040] The rotary pairs formed between the puncture umbrella 1, the left large fan plate 2, the left small fan plate 3, the right large fan plate 4, and the right small fan plate 5 are all connected by damping rotating shafts to provide a certain rotational damping. The axes of the damping rotating shafts point to the center and coincide; the five of them are combined to form a pentagonal pyramid structure, and the apex of the pyramid is the puncture center point of the puncture umbrella 1. Thus, the angle change between adjacent sides of the pentagonal pyramid can adjust the attitude of the puncture cannula 6.

[0041] In a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, the imaging plane of the ultrasonic probe 17 is parallel to the up-and-down sliding direction of the up-and-down telescopic box 9, and the symmetry axis of the imaging plane in this direction passes through the puncture center point, so that when the up-and-down telescopic box 9 moves up and down to drive the ultrasonic probe 17 to move up and down, the puncture center point is always within the imaging plane and moves along the symmetry axis.

[0042] In a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, the notch in the center of the rear side wall of the puncture umbrella 1 is provided with reverse teeth, which engage with the corresponding reverse teeth of the pressure adjustment slider 12, so that the pressure adjustment slider 12 can only move downward, pulling the up-and-down telescopic box 9 to apply a downward load. By pressing both sides of the pressure adjustment slider 12, the reverse teeth of the pressure adjustment slider 12 can be retracted to flexibly adjust the position of the pressure adjustment slider 12.

[0043] In a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, two servo motors are installed on the L-shaped cover plate at the top of the puncture umbrella 1, and their output shafts are respectively aligned with the through holes on both sides of the puncture umbrella 1.

Convex blocks are provided on both the left and right sides of the box body of the puncture umbrella 1, and convex blocks are also provided on the top of the up-and-down telescopic box 9 to provide a lower limit for the up-and-down telescopic box 9. When the up-and-down telescopic box 9 is placed at the lower limit under the drive of the tension spring 11, the puncture center point of the puncture umbrella 1 is located at the bottom of the ultrasonic image, and as the ultrasonic probe 17 and the up-and-down telescopic box 9 are pushed upward by an external force, the puncture center point gradually moves to the top of the ultrasonic image.

[0044]

Example 1

[0045] The entire ultrasonic scanning and puncture integrated device is installed at the end of the robotic arm through the flange in the middle of the L-shaped cover plate at the top of the puncture umbrella 1. Control the robotic arm to move along the human body surface so that the ultrasonic probe is close to the human body to collect ultrasonic images of human tissues. During this scanning process, the ultrasonic probe 17 is pressed against the human body under the action of the tension spring, and its pressure can be adjusted by the up-and-down movement of the robotic arm and the pressure adjustment slider 12. After positioning the target puncture point, adjust the position of the robotic arm so that the puncture center point of the puncture umbrella 1 coincides with the target target point, then the robotic arm remains stationary, and the pressure adjustment slider 12 is adjusted until the ultrasonic probe 17 applies an appropriate pressure to the human body. Finally, the doctor adjusts the position of the puncture cannula 6 as needed and selects a suitable puncture approach. Insert the puncture needle 8 into the puncture cannula 6, slowly insert the puncture needle 8 along the puncture cannula 6, and observe the ultrasonic image to monitor whether the puncture needle 8 reaches the puncture center point of the puncture umbrella 1.

[0046]

Example 2

[0047] On the basis of Embodiment 1, the doctor can replace the appropriate ultrasonic probe 17 as needed and use the supporting probe holder 15 and probe cover 16. The puncture cannula 6 can also be replaced to accommodate puncture needles 8 of different diameters. During the subsequent surgical procedure, only by removing the puncture cannula 6 can the left small sector plate 3 and the right small sector plate 5 be separated, thereby withdrawing the device.

[0048]

Embodiment 3

[0049] On the basis of Embodiment 1, if the surgical scenario supports puncture under the ultrasonic image throughout the process, the puncture cannula 6 can be rotated to the ultrasonic imaging plane, as shown in the appendix Figure 2 shown, and the entire puncture needle 8 can be seen within the ultrasonic image during the puncture process.

[0050] In summary, the integrated ultrasonic scanning and puncture device of the present invention can ensure good imaging conditions, and the loading pressure can be further adjusted through the pressure adjustment slider; the position of the puncture cannula can be adjusted by servo control or manually with greater force to adjust the puncture angle. On the one hand, the puncture cannula can rotate around the ultrasonic probe, enabling puncture both within the imaging plane and outside the plane, and on the other hand, the angle formed with the ultrasonic probe can also be adjusted. During this process, the position of the puncture center point does not move and is always monitorable within the ultrasonic plane. This makes the puncture process both safe and reliable and very convenient.

[0051] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
