Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a piston-type ventricular assist device. Background Art

[0002] A ventricular assist device is a mechanical device that replaces or assists the heart in supplying blood to the aorta. It is used for patients with heart failure or awaiting a heart transplant. Currently, ventricular assist devices are mainly divided into two categories: one is an axial flow interventional pump, and the other is an external magnetic levitation ventricular assist pump. Both types of ventricular assist devices use high-speed rotating impellers to pump blood. The problem caused by this is that during the pumping process, the high-speed rotating impeller will cause shear damage to the blood, which can easily lead to hemolysis. In addition, the external magnetic levitation ventricular assist pump is limited by magnetic levitation technology. On the one hand, it is easily affected by external motion and electromagnetic interference. On the other hand, the cost is high. Therefore, on the one hand, its working stability is poor, and on the other hand, it imposes a heavy economic burden on patients. Based on this, it is necessary to invent a piston-type ventricular assist device to solve the problems of existing ventricular assist devices that are prone to hemolysis, have poor working stability, and impose a heavy economic burden on patients. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention is achieved by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0005] A piston-type ventricular assist device includes a round cup-shaped housing;

The inner side surface of the circular turntable is fixedly fitted; an L-shaped oil delivery channel is opened between the end surface of the first rotating shaft and the side surface of the circular turntable, and the radial opening of the L-shaped oil delivery channel is a conical structure; a truncated cone-shaped elastic block and a return spring A are coaxially arranged in the radial section of the L-shaped oil delivery channel; the truncated cone-shaped elastic block can movably block the radial opening of the L-shaped oil delivery channel; the thin end surface of the truncated cone-shaped elastic block is a spherical surface, and the thin end surface of the truncated cone-shaped elastic block exceeds the radial opening of the L-shaped oil delivery channel; the two ends of the return spring A are respectively fixed to the thick end surface of the truncated cone-shaped elastic block and the hole wall of the L-shaped oil delivery channel;

[0007] A connecting hole A is formed through the side wall of the circular cup-shaped shell, and a groove is formed in the wall of the connecting hole A; a pressure sensor A is fixedly embedded in the groove, and the sensitive surface of the pressure sensor A exceeds the wall of the connecting hole A; a circular tubular graphite sleeve is sealed and docked with the connecting hole A, and the inner side of the circular tubular graphite sleeve exceeds the sensitive surface of the pressure sensor A; a circular cup-shaped plug is sealed and docked at the tail end of the circular tubular graphite sleeve, and the inner side of the circular cup-shaped plug exceeds the inner side of the circular tubular graphite sleeve; the inner cavity of the circular tubular graphite sleeve is coaxial with the inner surface of the circular tubular graphite sleeve. A cylindrical piston, a tubular elastic membrane sleeve, and a return spring B are provided; the front end face of the cylindrical piston contacts the side face of the circular turntable; the two end faces of the tubular elastic membrane sleeve are respectively sealed and fixed to the rear end face of the cylindrical piston and the edge of the cup mouth of the circular cup-shaped plug; the circular cup-shaped plug, the cylindrical piston, and the tubular elastic membrane sleeve together enclose a transfer chamber; the return spring B is located on the outside of the tubular elastic membrane sleeve, and the two ends of the return spring B are respectively fixed to the rear end face of the cylindrical piston and the edge of the cup mouth of the circular cup-shaped plug;

[0008] The side wall of the round cup-shaped plug is provided with a liquid extraction hole and a liquid delivery hole arranged side by side; a liquid extraction convex tube is extended from the edge of the outer end of the liquid extraction hole; a liquid delivery convex tube is extended from the edge of the outer end of the liquid delivery hole; the tail end of the liquid extraction convex tube is sealed and connected with a liquid extraction connecting tube; the tail end of the liquid delivery convex tube is sealed and connected with a liquid delivery connecting tube; the inner cavity of the liquid extraction connecting tube is equipped with a liquid extraction one-way valve; the inner cavity of the liquid delivery connecting tube is equipped with a liquid delivery one-way valve; the inner cavity of the liquid delivery connecting tube is equipped with a pressure Sensor B and flow sensor; the tail end of the liquid extraction connecting tube is sealed and connected to the liquid extraction catheter; the tail end of the liquid delivery connecting tube is sealed and connected to the liquid delivery catheter; the tail end of the liquid extraction catheter is provided with an end wall, and the tail side wall of the liquid extraction catheter is penetrated with a plurality of liquid extraction openings; the tail end of the liquid delivery catheter is provided with an end wall, and the tail side wall of the liquid delivery catheter is penetrated with a plurality of liquid delivery openings; the head side wall of the liquid extraction catheter is penetrated with a connecting hole B, and the connecting hole B is sealed and connected to the sheath tube.

[0009] During operation, the operating physician inserts a guidewire into the sheath and uses it to connect the various drainage ports on the drainage catheter to the patient's left ventricle and the various delivery ports on the delivery catheter to the patient's aorta. The axial opening of the L-shaped oil channel is connected to the lubricating oil source via a rotary joint. The second rotating shaft is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor via a coupling. The output terminals of pressure sensor A, pressure sensor B, and the flow sensor, as well as the control terminal of the drive motor, are all connected to a controller. An alarm is also connected to the controller.

[0010] The specific working process is as follows: The output shaft of the drive motor drives the two rotating shafts and the circular turntable through a coupling, and the circular turntable rotates eccentrically. During this eccentric rotation, the circular turntable and return spring B alternately push the cylindrical piston, causing it to reciprocate along the tubular graphite sleeve, thereby pumping blood from the left ventricle to the aorta. The specific pumping process is as follows: When the cylindrical piston moves away from the circular cup-shaped plug, the tubular elastic membrane sleeve stretches with the cylindrical piston (the volume of the transfer chamber increases), the withdrawal check valve opens (the delivery check valve closes), and the blood in the left ventricle flows into the transfer chamber through the withdrawal catheter, the withdrawal connecting tube, and the withdrawal convex tube. When the cylindrical piston moves toward the cup-shaped plug, the tubular elastic membrane sleeve contracts along with the cylindrical piston (the volume of the transfer chamber becomes smaller), the liquid delivery one-way valve opens (the liquid extraction one-way valve closes), and the blood in the transfer chamber flows into the aorta through the liquid delivery convex tube, the liquid delivery connecting tube, and the liquid delivery catheter in sequence.

[0011] During the above process, lubricating oil from the lubricating oil source flows into the L-shaped oil channel through the rotary joint. The truncated cone-shaped elastic block and return spring A rotate with the circular turntable. When the thin end surface of the truncated cone-shaped elastic block is not in contact with the front end surface of the cylindrical piston, the truncated cone-shaped elastic block, under the thrust of return spring A, blocks the radial opening of the L-shaped oil channel, preventing the lubricating oil in the L-shaped oil channel from flowing out. When the thin end surface of the truncated cone-shaped elastic block rotates until it contacts the front end surface of the cylindrical piston, the truncated cone-shaped elastic block is pressed back into the radial opening of the L-shaped oil channel by the cylindrical piston, forming a gap between the truncated cone-shaped elastic block and the radial opening of the L-shaped oil channel. This allows the lubricating oil in the L-shaped oil channel to flow out through the gap, thereby achieving lubrication between the circular turntable and the cylindrical piston, and between the circular turntable and the round cup-shaped housing. Because graphite inherently lubricates, oil-free lubrication is achieved between the cylindrical piston and the tubular graphite sleeve. The controller uses pressure sensor A to monitor the tubular graphite sleeve in real time for excessive wear. The specific monitoring process is as follows: As the cylindrical piston reciprocates along the tubular graphite sleeve, it wears the sleeve, causing the sleeve's inner diameter to increase. If the output of pressure sensor A does not exceed a preset value, it indicates that the sensing surface of pressure sensor A is not in contact with the side of the cylindrical piston, thus indicating that the inner surface of the tubular graphite sleeve extends beyond the sensing surface of pressure sensor A. The controller then determines that the sleeve has not experienced excessive wear. If the output of pressure sensor A exceeds a preset value, it indicates that the sensing surface of pressure sensor A is in contact with the side of the cylindrical piston, thus indicating that the inner surface of the tubular graphite sleeve is flush with the sensing surface of pressure sensor A. The controller then determines that the sleeve has experienced excessive wear and issues an alarm to alert the operator to replace the sleeve and clean any graphite debris within the device. The pressure sensor B measures the blood pressure in the liquid delivery connecting tube in real time and sends the measurement results to the controller in real time. When the blood pressure in the liquid delivery connecting tube deviates from the preset normal value, the controller adjusts the speed of the drive motor in real time according to the measurement results, so that the blood pressure in the liquid delivery connecting tube returns to the normal value, thereby ensuring the patient's life safety. The flow sensor measures the blood flow in the liquid delivery connecting tube in real time and sends the measurement results to the controller in real time. When the blood flow in the liquid delivery connecting tube deviates from the preset normal value, the controller adjusts the speed of the drive motor in real time according to the measurement results, so that the blood flow in the liquid delivery connecting tube returns to the normal value, thereby ensuring the patient's life safety.

[0012] Based on the above process, the piston-type VAD described in the present invention, based on a novel structure, offers the following advantages compared to existing VADs: First, instead of relying on a high-speed rotating impeller to pump blood, the present invention utilizes the eccentric rotation of a circular turntable and the reciprocating motion of a cylindrical piston to pump blood, effectively avoiding shear damage to the blood and, consequently, hemolysis. Second, compared to external magnetic levitation VADs, the present invention is not limited by magnetic levitation technology. This means it is not susceptible to external motion and electromagnetic interference, and its manufacturing cost is significantly reduced, thereby effectively improving operational stability and reducing the financial burden on patients.

[0013] The present invention has a reasonable structure and ingenious design, and effectively solves the problems of existing ventricular assist devices that easily cause hemolysis, have poor working stability, and cause a heavy economic burden on patients, and is suitable for ventricular assist.
