[0003] Bone drilling is a crucial surgical procedure in orthopedic surgery. Traditional bone drilling relies primarily on the surgeon holding the drill by hand. This method lacks the ability to adjust process parameters for different bone tissue layers, detect breakthroughs in a timely manner, and monitor drill wear and breakage. This results in poor precision, low safety, low efficiency, and high labor intensity. Especially since blood vessels, muscles, and nerves are abundant around bones, drilling must be stopped promptly when the desired depth is reached to avoid damage to surrounding nerves and soft tissues. If breakthroughs are not detected and stopped in time during bone drilling, the drill bit can penetrate soft tissue, causing serious damage to blood vessels, muscles, and nerves. Therefore, designing an intelligent feed bone drill and its control method can effectively solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0070] Another aspect of the present invention provides an orthopedic surgical robot, which includes a robotic arm, a computer control system, and the aforementioned intelligent feed bone drill, the intelligent feed bone drill being disposed on the end flange of the robot.

[0071] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Examples of these preferred embodiments are illustrated in the drawings. The embodiments of the present invention shown in and described with reference to the drawings are merely exemplary, and the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0072] It should also be noted that, in order to avoid obscuring the invention with unnecessary details, only the structures and / or processing steps closely related to the solution according to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, while other details that are not closely related to the invention are omitted.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, the intelligent feed-type bone drill disclosed in this invention mainly includes a rotary drive component 1, a feed drive component 2, a protective sleeve component 3, a tension / compression sensor component 4, and a torque sensor component 5. The rotary drive component 1 drives the drill bit to rotate; the feed drive component 2 drives the drill bit to perform linear feed motion; the protective sleeve component 3 guides the drill bit and protects human tissue from being entangled by the high-speed rotating drill bit; the tension / compression sensor component 4 connects the rotary drive component 1 and the feed drive component 2 to sense the pressure in the feed direction; and the torque sensor component 5 senses the torque in the rotation direction of the bone drill.

[0074] like Figure 2 As shown, during operation, a feed-type bone drill of the present invention is mounted at the end of a robotic arm 6 via an adapter flange 7. The robotic arm 6 is mounted on a robot base 8, which can be a fixed base or a movable base as needed. Together with a computer control system, they form an orthopedic surgical robot system. In this case, x in the intelligent control method n xi and x d This can be equivalent to the current position, initial position, and desired position of the robotic arm's end effector; all other parameters are also given by the robotic system. During surgery, the robot actively or passively moves to the designated position according to the pre-operative plan. Once the robot stops moving, the bone drill begins drilling according to preset values.

[0075] like Figure 3 The diagram illustrates the force variation with feed position during bone drilling, as provided by this invention. The axial feed force and position signal generated during drilling are the primary sources for detecting drill bit breakage. Before the procedure, the user uses specialized pre-operative planning software to preliminarily determine the depth of different bone layers corresponding to the drilling location, i.e., the desired position x of different bone layers. d (A) x d (B) and x d (C) Among them, x d (A) The finger drill reaches the desired feed position at the junction of the first layer of cortical bone and the second layer of cancellous bone, x d (B) The finger drill reaches the desired feed position at the junction of the second layer of cancellous bone and the third layer of cortical bone, x d (C) The desired feed position of the phalanx drill at the junction of the third cortical bone and other tissues. In traditional bone drilling operations, the surgeon's handheld electric drill inevitably leads to human error, making it difficult to ensure the drill bit penetrates the bone tissue perpendicularly, causing the drill bit to become misaligned. Furthermore, the surgeon's handheld electric drill makes it impossible to determine whether the drill bit has reached the desired depth and stop drilling in time, which can seriously damage the blood vessels, muscles, and nerves around the bone. Therefore, to avoid this situation, we designed a detection method based on formula (1), that is, using the difference between the actual feed position and the desired feed position of the drill bit.

[0076] |x n -x d |≤ε (1)

[0077] Where, x n The actual feed position of the drill bit, x d ε refers to the desired feed position of the drill bit, while ε refers to the safe limit distance of the bone drill. Currently, the acceptable safe limit distance is 1-2mm, so ε can be flexibly adjusted within 1-2mm depending on the drilling location.

[0078] However, due to factors such as robot positioning accuracy, there are deviations in position and angle between the actual drilling point and the pre-planned drilling point. Therefore, simply comparing the feed position information with the pre-measured distance is inaccurate. This control method, based on the position information, incorporates force information and determines the actual position of the drill bit in the bone tissue by fusing the two information. From the force-time curve during drilling, it is evident that the force changes drastically when the drill bit intersects with the cortical and cancellous layers of bone. However, due to the density changes throughout the bone, there are several peaks and troughs in the force profile. Force fluctuations can affect the detection method, leading to erroneous drill bit breakout events. Therefore, to avoid this situation, we design a detection method based on formula (2), that is, utilizing the force value difference during drastic changes.

[0079] |F z -F (z-1) |≥F t (2)

[0080] The force measured during drilling is in a uniaxial direction, and the force in the Z direction (i.e., the drill bit feed direction) is denoted as F. z F (z-1) F represents the force signal at the previous moment. z F represents the current signal measured by the tension / compression sensor. t This represents the threshold value indicating the difference in force between the two forces. Where F... t The numerical value can be adjusted appropriately according to the different drilling parts. In formula (2), F z The difference in values ​​and the threshold F set initially t A comparison was made. This theory applies to the three stages of the entire process of drilling bone tissue: first layer of cortical bone → second layer of cancellous bone; second layer of cancellous bone → third layer of cortical bone; third layer of cortical bone → other tissues.

[0081] Furthermore, the drilling experiment results for cancellous bone and cortical bone at different feed rates and rotation speeds show that: when drilling cortical bone, the axial feed force is relatively large. Selecting a high rotation speed and low feed rate can effectively reduce the axial feed force during the drilling process, thereby reducing the friction between the drill bit and the bone tissue and lowering the temperature rise of the drill bit during drilling; when drilling cancellous bone, the axial feed force is relatively small. Selecting a low rotation speed and high feed rate can effectively improve the drilling efficiency, and the time required to drill bone of the same thickness is shorter, reducing the heat transferred to the bone tissue. At the same time, a low rotation speed can also reduce the heat generation of the rotary drive motor.

[0082] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, an intelligent feed bone drill and its control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention include the following steps:

[0083] First, it starts by setting the drilling parameters: feed rate f, spindle speed υ, and desired smart bone drill position x. d The initial position x of the intelligent bone drill in the feed direction i .

[0084] Tension / compression sensors, a feed direction encoder, and a torque sensor respectively sense the force, feed position, and torque during the drilling process. The torque sensor's measurement data allows for real-time monitoring of drill bit wear and breakage throughout the entire drilling process. Then, the tension / compression sensor's measurement data F... z The measurement data from the feed direction encoder is used in methods for setting the drilling zero point, detecting breakthroughs in the three-stage drilling process, and automatically adjusting process parameters.

[0085] After the drill bit begins to move, the tension / compression sensor and the feed direction encoder collect values. If this triggers the event: |F z -F (z-1) |≥F t This means that the drill bit has contacted the first layer of cortical bone, and the current position is set as the drilling zero point, providing a reference point for the feed position for breakthrough detection and automatic adjustment of process parameters in the next three stages of drilling.

[0086] Phase 1: Detect whether the drill bit has broken through the first layer of cortical bone. If it triggers the event: |F z -F (z-1) |≥F t ,|x n -x d (A) If |≤ε, it means that the drill bit has broken through the first layer of cortical bone tissue. The drilling parameters of the intelligent bone drill will be adjusted to low speed and high feed, automatically adjusting the process parameters for the second stage of drilling cancellous bone.

[0087] The low-speed, high-feed operation here refers to a decrease in rotational speed and an increase in feed rate relative to the initial drilling of the first layer of cortical bone. In other words, this low-speed, high-feed operation is the process parameter for drilling the second layer of cancellous bone. Human bone tissue consists of cortical bone, which has high material density and small volume thickness, and cancellous bone, which has low material density and large volume thickness. Drilling experiment data shows that: F z =C z ×f a ×v b (C z >0, a>0, b<0), where C zFor correction coefficients, a and b are the degree of influence index, that is, the drilling spindle force decreases with the increase of rotational speed and increases with the increase of feed rate. (1) In the process of drilling cortical bone with high material density and small volume thickness, the drilling process parameters are selected with a higher rotational speed and a smaller feed rate, which can reduce the mechanical and thermal damage to bone tissue and effectively protect the drill bit to ensure the safety of drilling; (2) In the process of drilling cancellous bone with low material density and large volume thickness, the drilling process parameters are selected with a lower rotational speed and a larger feed rate, which can reduce the heat generation of the rotary motor and reduce the drilling time to effectively improve drilling efficiency.

[0088] Phase Two: Detect whether the drill bit has broken through the second layer of cancellous bone. If it triggers the event: |F z -F (z-1) |≥F t ,|x n -x d (B) If |≤ε, it means that the drill bit has broken through the second layer of cancellous bone tissue. The drilling parameters of the intelligent bone drill will be adjusted to high speed and small feed, and the process parameters will be automatically adjusted for drilling the third stage of cortical bone.

[0089] The high-speed, low-feed operation here refers to increasing the rotational speed and decreasing the feed rate relative to drilling the second layer of cancellous bone. In other words, this high-speed, low-feed operation is the process parameter for drilling the third layer of cortical bone. The rotational speed adjusted in the second stage is greater than that adjusted in the first stage, while the feed rate adjusted in the second stage is less than that adjusted in the first stage. Human bone tissue consists of cortical bone, which has high material density and small volume thickness, and cancellous bone, which has low material density and large volume thickness. Drilling experimental data shows that: F z =C z ·f a ·υ b (C z >0, a>0, b<0), where C z For correction coefficients, a and b are the degree of influence index, that is, the drilling spindle force decreases with the increase of rotational speed and increases with the increase of feed rate. (1) In the process of drilling cortical bone with high material density and small volume thickness, the drilling process parameters are selected with a higher rotational speed and a smaller feed rate, which can reduce the mechanical and thermal damage to bone tissue and effectively protect the drill bit; (2) In the process of drilling cancellous bone with low material density and large volume thickness, the drilling process parameters are selected with a lower rotational speed and a larger feed rate, which can reduce the heat generation of the rotary motor and reduce the drilling time, effectively improving the drilling efficiency.

[0090] Phase 3: Detect whether the drill bit has broken through the third layer of cortical bone. If it triggers the event: |F z -F (z-1) |≥Ft ,|x n -x d (C) If |≤ε, meaning the drill bit has broken through the third layer of cortical bone, the intelligent bone drill will stop drilling and return to its initial position x. i The intelligent bone drill returns to its initial position x. i Afterwards, drilling parameters can be changed to conduct other experiments. If no further drilling occurs, the process ends.

[0091] It should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This way of describing the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions of each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
