Abstract

The present invention relates to a flexible needle puncture device for adjusting the needle insertion angle of a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, belonging to the field of medical devices. It relies on the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm to adjust the flexible needle puncture mechanism to puncture at different angles, providing multi-angle puncture pose modes for puncture surgeries. In this invention, the positioning device and the robotic arm have five degrees of freedom, which can adjust the needle insertion angle of the bevel-tip flexible needle and form a fixed point at the intersection of the multi-joint axes of the robotic arm. When the robotic arm adjusts the needle insertion angle, it can ensure that the spatial position of the puncture point of the flexible needle tip remains unchanged. Compared with traditional flexible needle puncture devices, during the extension or contraction of the suspended robotic arm, it can effectively avoid the patient or other surgical equipment while ensuring that the puncture target point does not move. The operation is simple, and it is easier to obtain a suitable puncture needle insertion posture, improving the flexibility of the mechanism and ensuring the stability, accuracy, and safety of the puncture.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and relates to a flexible needle puncture device for adjusting the needle insertion angle by a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm. Background Art

[0002] Robot-assisted minimally invasive interventional medicine is a brand-new medical technology that has rapidly developed in recent years. It is a new medical method between surgery and internal medicine. The targeted puncture technology is one of the medical means with the broadest application prospects. Under the guidance of medical imaging equipment, using a flexible puncture needle for targeted puncture for local treatment has the advantages of small incision, fast recovery, and good treatment effect. Due to the large stiffness of the traditional rigid needle, the position of the needle tip cannot be effectively controlled during the puncture process, resulting in a large limitation in puncture. Therefore, flexible needles have rapidly developed and are gradually applied to puncture surgeries.

[0003] In the traditional flexible needle puncture surgery, the puncture mechanism is installed on a serial collaborative robotic arm. After adjusting the pose of the robotic arm, the puncture mechanism is controlled by a program to perform the puncture surgery. The ordinary serial robotic arm is placed on one side of the patient. If one wants to insert a needle from the other side of the patient, due to the limitations of the degrees of freedom and arm length of the robotic arm, the robotic arm needs to be adjusted to the other side of the patient, which increases the complexity of the surgery.

[0004] Based on the defects existing in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve the problem that the method of adjusting the puncture position of the puncture mechanism is too cumbersome, to realize placing the robotic arm and the puncture mechanism in a certain position, and only by adjusting the pose of the robotic arm, a large range of needle insertion angle adjustment can be achieved; to reduce the workload of medical staff, and at the same time, to achieve a large movement space with a relatively small size of the robotic arm. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Aiming at the above problems, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a flexible needle puncture device for adjusting the needle insertion angle by a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm. The overall pose of the robotic arm is adjusted in a large range through the lifting and rotational degrees of freedom of the base in the mechanism and the pitching degree of freedom in the positioning mechanism; the puncture needle insertion angle is adjusted through the rolling degree of freedom in the positioning mechanism and the extension and contraction of the robotic arm. After the pose is adjusted, the flexible needle puncture mechanism is controlled to perform the puncture surgery.

[0006] A flexible needle puncture device for adjusting the needle insertion angle of a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, where the base mainly consists of a lifting mechanism and a rotating mechanism. The lifting mechanism is driven by a motor and a lead screw nut to achieve the lifting of the base, and the rotating mechanism is driven by a motor and a transfer flange through a belt drive to achieve the rotation of the transfer flange; the positioning joint mainly has two motors to adjust the two degrees of freedom of the robotic arm, namely the pitching degree of freedom and the rolling degree of freedom of the robotic arm; the robotic arm has three arms: the rear arm, the middle arm, and the front arm, forming a parallelogram structure. The end point of the parallelogram is the intersection of the projection of the direction pointed by the axis of the rear arm and the flexible needle guide wheel in the front arm on the side plane of the robotic arm. When the robotic arm extends or contracts, this puncture intersection point remains stationary in space. At the same time, the rotation axis of the rolling degree of freedom in the positioning joint passes through this intersection point. When the positioning joint adjusts the rolling pose of the robotic arm, the spatial position of the puncture intersection point remains unchanged.

[0007] A two-degree-of-freedom flexible needle puncture mechanism is installed on the front arm of the robotic arm to achieve the linear and rotational motion of the bevel-tip flexible needle; the end of the flexible needle puncture mechanism is connected to the flexible needle guide wheel on the front arm of the robotic arm through a catheter of a fixed length to prevent the flexible needle from warping due to puncture resistance during the puncture process; after the pose of the robotic arm is adjusted, the linear motion of the flexible needle realizes the feeding and retraction of the needle, and the rotational motion of the needle realizes the control of the bevel tip orientation, thereby realizing the control of the flexible needle trajectory.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0009] The four-degree-of-freedom pose control of the flexible needle, namely lifting, rotation, pitching, and rolling, is realized through the base and the positioning joint. The robotic arm is of a parallelogram structure and has one degree of freedom. When the robotic arm extends and contracts, the end point of the parallelogram remains stationary in space. The rolling axis of the robotic arm passes through the end point of the parallelogram. When the rolling pose is adjusted, the spatial position of the end point remains unchanged. Adjusting the end point of the parallelogram to the lesion point where the patient needs surgery only requires adjusting the two degrees of freedom of the rolling and extension / contraction of the robotic arm to achieve a large range of needle angle adjustment.
