[0063] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figures 6 to 8As shown, according to the present invention, a delivery device for delivering a self-expanding stent is provided, comprising a housing assembly 100, a catheter mechanism 200, an operating mechanism 400 and a braking mechanism, wherein the catheter mechanism 200 is disposed on the housing assembly 100, and the catheter mechanism 200 is used to carry and release the stent 300; the operating mechanism 400 is rotatably disposed on the housing assembly 100, and the operating mechanism 400 is transmission-connected with the catheter mechanism 200, and the operating mechanism 400 drives the catheter mechanism 200 to move to release the stent 300; the braking mechanism comprises a braking unit 51 0 and an orienting unit 520, the braking unit 510 is rotatably disposed on the housing assembly 100, the orienting unit 520 is fixedly disposed on the housing assembly 100, the braking unit 510 is transmission-connected to the operating mechanism 400, a plurality of braking portions 511 are disposed on the braking unit 510, a braking gap 5111 is formed between two adjacent braking portions 511, the orienting unit 520 cooperates with the braking gap 5111 to limit the rotation direction of the braking unit 510, wherein the plurality of braking portions 511 are annularly arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the braking unit 510.

[0064] The conveying device for conveying a self-expanding stent provided by the present invention drives the operating mechanism 400 to rotate by the operator, so that the catheter mechanism 200 connected to the operating mechanism 400 is actuated, thereby releasing the stent 300; a plurality of braking parts 511 are provided on the braking unit 510, and a braking gap 5111 is formed between two adjacent braking parts 511, and the directional unit 520 cooperates with the braking gap 5111 to limit the rotation direction of the braking unit 510, thereby preventing the operating mechanism 400 from rotating in the opposite direction. In the above-mentioned braking mechanism, since the plurality of braking parts 511 are arranged in a ring shape on the outer peripheral wall of the braking unit 510, the braking range is wider, the movement accuracy of the braking unit 510 is improved, and it is suitable for the needs with higher requirements for position and posture control, has stronger adaptability, and has a simple structure, improves braking efficiency and stability, and is conducive to avoiding problems such as poor braking effect and unstable braking due to uneven braking force.

[0065] It is understandable that, referring to Figures 1 to 5 In the embodiment of the present invention, the operating mechanism 400 is transmission-connected to the catheter mechanism 200 via a transmission assembly, and the transmission assembly transmits the power of the operating mechanism 400 to the catheter mechanism 200, thereby realizing the control and operation of the catheter mechanism 200. Through the transmission connection, the power of the operating mechanism 400 can be efficiently transmitted to the catheter mechanism 200, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the operation.

[0066] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 5In some embodiments of the present invention, the catheter mechanism 200 includes a first catheter 210, a second catheter 220, a first track tube 230, a second track tube 240, an intermediate tube 250 and a protective tube 260. The distal end of the first catheter 210 is used to cover the stent 300, and the proximal end of the first catheter 210 is used to be fixed in the shell assembly 100; the second catheter 220 is sleeved on the first catheter 210, the distal end of the second catheter 220 is used to cover the stent 300, the proximal end of the second catheter 220 is inserted in the shell assembly 100, and the distal end of the second catheter 220 has a reducing section; the proximal end of the first track tube 230 is arranged in the shell In the assembly 100, the distal end of the first track tube 230 is located between the first conduit 210 and the second conduit 220, and the second conduit 220 is movable relative to the first track tube 230; the proximal end of the second track tube 240 is arranged in the shell assembly 100; the intermediate tube 250 is arranged between the first conduit 210 and the second conduit 220, the proximal end of the intermediate tube 250 is inserted into the shell assembly 100, and the distal end of the intermediate tube 250 abuts against the bracket 300 to limit the movement of the bracket 300 relative to the first conduit 210; the protective tube 260 is fixedly inserted in the second track tube 240, and the protective tube 260 is sleeved outside the second conduit 220;

[0067] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The transmission assembly includes a moving member 810 and a traction guide wire 820. The moving member 810 is movably disposed in the second track tube 240. The moving member 810 is fixedly connected to the second catheter 220. The moving member 810 is movable relative to the first track tube 230. The distal end of the first track tube 230 is inserted into the second track tube 240 and the moving member 810. One end of the traction guide wire 820 is connected to the operating mechanism 400 and can be wound and matched. The other end of the traction guide wire 820 extends into the second track tube 240 and is connected to the moving member 810.

[0068] Among them, the first catheter 210 passes through the second track tube 240 and the moving part 810, the proximal end of the protective tube 260 is relatively fixed to the distal end of the second track tube 240, and there is a matching spacing between the distal end of the protective tube 260 and the distal end of the second catheter 220. The matching spacing is greater than twice the length of the corresponding variable diameter section on the second catheter 220, the diameter of the protective tube 260 is smaller than the diameter of the distal area of ​​the corresponding variable diameter section on the second catheter 220, and the diameter of the protective tube 260 is greater than the diameter of the proximal area of ​​the second catheter 220 away from the variable diameter section.

[0069] Through the above arrangement, the protective tube 260 is sleeved outside the second conduit 220, which has the function of protecting the conduit mechanism 200 and reducing friction loss. Through the fixed cooperation between the protective tube 260, the second track tube 240 and the second conduit 220, the conduit mechanism 200 is protected from external interference and damage. At the same time, the design of the diameter size of the protective tube 260 can also effectively reduce friction loss and improve the service life of the catheter mechanism 200; through the cooperation of the first track tube 230 and the second track tube 240, effective support is provided for the movement of the moving part 810, and the first track tube 230 is helpful to avoid direct contact between the moving part 810 and the first catheter 210 or the intermediate tube 250, so as to prevent a certain degree of damage to the first catheter 210 or the intermediate tube 250 during the movement, thereby improving the service life; secondly, since the matching spacing is greater than 2 times the length of the reducing section on the second catheter 220, it is helpful to ensure that there is enough space between the protective tube 260 and the second catheter 220 for relative movement. Therefore, through the reasonable design of the catheter mechanism 200 and the transmission assembly, the control and operation of the bracket 300 are realized, with high reliability and service life, and effective optimization is also made in protecting the catheter mechanism 200 and reducing friction loss.

[0070] The specific coordination process between the catheter mechanism 200 and the transmission assembly is as follows: the operating mechanism 400 operates the catheter mechanism 200 through the transmission assembly, pulling the guide wire 820 to drive the movable member 810 to move, and at the same time drives the second catheter 220 fixed on the movable member 810 to move on the first guide rail. When the second catheter 220 moves toward the proximal end, the proximal end of the reducing section reaches the distal end of the protective tube 260. Since the diameter of the reducing section of the second catheter 220 is larger than the diameter of the protective tube 260, the movement of the second catheter 220 is terminated, reminding the operator that the bracket 300 has been completely released.

[0071] It should be noted that the hardness of the protective tube 260 is greater than that of the second catheter 220 . During use, the operator may choose to hold the protective tube 260 to better stabilize the stent 300 delivery system and ensure accurate release of the stent 300 .

[0072] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 6 In the embodiment of the present invention, the housing assembly 100 is provided with a needle seat 140, which is sleeved with the intermediate tube 250 and the first conduit 210. During use, some solutions, such as lubricants, physiological saline, etc., are filled through the needle seat 140. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the needle seat 140 is provided with a tapered channel, and the expansion direction of the tapered channel faces away from the housing assembly 100, so as to facilitate the cooperation of external accessories (such as needles).

[0073] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the catheter mechanism 200 also includes a stress tube 270 and a tip. The stress tube 270 is fixedly sleeved outside the protective tube 260 and fixedly connected to the distal end of the second track tube 240. The cross-sectional area of ​​the stress tube 270 gradually increases in the direction close to the shell assembly 100, and the tip 280 is plugged into and matched with the distal end of the second catheter 220.

[0074] It should be noted that the above-mentioned stress tube 270 can be made of a silicone flexible sleeve or other elastic materials, and the first catheter 210, the second catheter 220, the first track tube 230, the second track tube 240, the intermediate tube 250 and the protective tube 260 in the catheter mechanism 200 have a certain flexibility and can produce adaptive bending as needed to facilitate more efficient and safe surgery.

[0075] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the braking portion 511 is a convex tooth provided on the braking unit 510, the braking gap 5111 is a tooth groove formed between two adjacent convex teeth, and the directional unit 520 is engaged with the tooth groove. It can be understood that one end of the directional unit 520 is loaded into the tooth groove of the braking unit 510, so that the braking unit 510 can only realize the unidirectional rotation of the release direction of the bracket 300 according to the design, the structure is simple, and a reliable braking effect can be provided. Through the cooperation between the directional unit 520 and the tooth groove, the stability of the braking force and the accuracy of the directionality are guaranteed.

[0076] It is understandable that if Figure 2 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the orienting unit 520 includes a first fixing member 521, a second fixing member 522 and a braking member 524, the first fixing member 521 and the second fixing member 522 are both arranged in the shell assembly 100, and the first fixing member 521 and the second fixing member 522 are both fixedly connected to the shell assembly 100, a clamping channel 523 is formed between the first fixing member 521 and the second fixing member 522, the braking member 524 has a fixed section and a swinging section, the fixed section is clamped in the clamping channel 523, the swinging section extends out of the clamping channel 523, the swinging section can swing relative to the second fixing member 522, and the swinging section cooperates with the braking gap 5111; wherein, a stop portion is convexly provided on the first fixing member 521, the stop portion and the second fixing member 522 are misaligned in their orthographic projections, and the stop portion abuts and cooperates with the swinging section to limit the swinging section from swinging toward the first fixing member 521.

The stopper is in contact with the swing section to limit the swing of the swing section toward the first fixing member 521, thereby preventing the brake unit 510 from rotating in the opposite direction, thereby avoiding the reversal of the operating mechanism 400, having the technical characteristics of delicate structure and long service life, and can prevent the disadvantages of component damage and functional failure caused by the reversal of the operating mechanism 400.

[0078] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the brake member 524 is a plate member with a certain elasticity, so when the swing section of the brake member 524 is rotated and pressed by the brake unit 510, the swing section of the brake member 524 is deformed toward the direction of the second fixing member 522 and has a certain curvature, and because the stopper of the first fixing member 521 is in contact with the swing section and restricted, the swing section can only deform in the direction of the second fixing member 522. It should be noted that the plate member can be set as a metal member or a plastic member, which is not limited here.

[0079] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the braking member 524 is a plate, and the shape of the braking member 524 is L-shaped, so the shape of the clamping channel 523 is compatible with the shape of the braking member 524 .

In addition, it can also reduce the number of parts in the assembly process, simplify the manufacturing process, and improve production efficiency.

[0083] It is understandable that if Figure 2 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the shell assembly 100 is provided with an installation shaft 110, the braking unit 510 includes a connecting column 512 and a cone 513, the connecting column 512 is provided with an installation channel, the mounting shaft 110 is plugged into and rotatably matched with the installation channel, the connecting column 512 and the operating mechanism 400 are nested with each other and the two are relatively fixed, the cone 513 is connected to the connecting column 512, the cone 513 is arranged around the installation channel of the connecting column 512, a plurality of braking parts 511 are connected to the cone 513, and the plurality of braking parts 511 are evenly distributed along the outer peripheral wall of the cone 513.

The mounting shaft 110 is plugged into and rotatably matched with the mounting channel, which can make the brake unit 510 more convenient and quick to assemble. The connecting column 512 and the operating mechanism 400 are nested with each other and the two are relatively fixed. The cone 513 is arranged around the mounting channel of the connecting column 512, which can make the overall structure of the brake unit 510 compact, occupying a small space, small volume, and wide adaptability; wherein, a plurality of braking parts 511 are evenly distributed along the outer peripheral wall of the cone 513, which can make the braking force evenly distributed, improve the braking efficiency and stability, and avoid problems such as poor braking effect and unstable braking due to uneven braking force. It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the connecting column 512 and the cone 513 are integrally injection molded. Of course, in some embodiments, the connecting column 512 and the cone 513 can also be detachably connected by means of screws, snap-fits, etc.; the mounting shaft 110 is integrally molded with the shell assembly 100. Of course, the mounting shaft 110 can also be externally mounted to the shell assembly 100, which is not limited here.

[0084] Specifically, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8In the embodiment of the present invention, the connecting column 512 is provided with a first positioning structure 610, and the operating mechanism 400 is provided with a second positioning structure 620. The first positioning structure 610 and the second positioning structure 620 are engaged with each other so that the connecting column 512 and the round table 513 are relatively fixed. With the above structure, the stability of the assembly of the brake unit 510 and the operating mechanism 400 can be effectively improved, the installation process can be simplified, and the mechanical strength can be enhanced through the engagement of the first positioning structure 610 and the second positioning structure 620.

[0085] Specifically, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the embodiment of the present invention, the first positioning structure 610 is a positioning protrusion, and the second positioning structure 620 is a positioning groove, and the positioning protrusion is snap-fitted with the positioning groove. Through the above structure, precise positioning can be achieved: through the snap-fitting of the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove, precise positioning can be achieved, ensuring that the relative position between the connecting column 512 and the operating mechanism 400 is fixed, and the contact area between the connecting column 512 and the operating mechanism 400 can be increased, and the connection strength can be improved to make it more stable and reliable. The cooperation between the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove can prevent the relative rotation between the connecting column 512 and the operating mechanism 400, ensuring that no displacement or shaking occurs during use, and making the assembly process simpler and faster, reducing the possibility of assembly errors, and improving the efficiency and consistency of assembly. Of course, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned first positioning structure 610 can also be a positioning groove, and the second positioning structure 620 can also be a positioning protrusion.

[0086] It is understandable that if Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the operating mechanism 400 includes a wire wheel 410 and a rubber wheel sleeve 420, the wire wheel 410 is provided with a matching channel 411, the connecting column 512 is inserted into the matching channel 411 and is fixed in the circumferential direction, the opposite side walls of the matching channel 411 are provided with positioning grooves, the rubber wheel sleeve 420 and the wire wheel 410 are nested and matched, and the rubber wheel sleeve 420 is provided with anti-slip convex patterns to facilitate the operation of the operator. Specifically, the cross section of the matching channel 411 is non-circular, and the cross section of the connecting column 512 is non-circular. It can be understood that the outer peripheral wall of the connecting column 512 is formed by two arc surfaces and two vertical surfaces connected in an interlaced manner.

[0087] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present invention, fixing grooves 5121 are provided on opposite sides of the end of the connecting column 512 facing away from the cone 513. During assembly, the proximal end of the traction guide wire 820 passes through the fixing groove 5121 and the positioning groove, and is pressed by the positioning protrusion. The pressing fit mechanism ensures that the braking unit 510 and the operating mechanism 400 move or stop at the same time, which is beneficial to ensure that the traction guide wire 820 can be pulled close and wound around the inner side of the wire wheel 410, thereby realizing the movement of the moving part 810 and the second catheter 220 and releasing the function of the bracket 300.

[0088] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, during the assembly process, one end of the traction guide wire 820 is wound around the inner side of the wire wheel 410 and is stretched and in a straightened and taut state. If the wire wheel 410 and the brake unit 510 are reversed, the traction guide wire 820 is relaxed to a loose state, and the traction guide wire 820 in a relaxed state is very easy to be separated from the outer side of the wire wheel 410. When the traction guide wire 820 is to be pulled closer again, there are risks of being separated from the preset track and interfering with components, so that the bracket 300 cannot be effectively released.

[0089] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 7 In the embodiment of the present invention, an arc-shaped guide plate 150 is integrally formed and injection-molded in the housing assembly 100 to guide the pulling guide wire 820 to turn to the wire wheel 410 .

Through the above structure, the anti-trigger structure 700 is covered on the operating mechanism 400 during packaging, transportation, storage, etc., to prevent the operating mechanism 400 from being triggered and rotating, so as to facilitate the use effect of the operating mechanism 400 to be in the best state. During surgery, the operator needs to move the anti-trigger structure 700 to avoid the operating mechanism 400, so that the operator can rotate the operating mechanism 400 to complete the release of the stent 300 by the stent 300 delivery device.

With the above structure, the housing assembly 100 can be detachably connected through the mounting member 710, which can be easily repaired and replaced; the cover body 720 covers the operating mechanism 400 and is located in the external operating area of ​​the housing assembly 100.

The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. Therefore, the above anti-trigger structure 7 00 makes the stent 300 delivery device have the technical characteristics of high safety protection factor, convenient and comfortable use, and can prevent the triggering of the movement of the operating mechanism during packaging, transportation, storage, etc., which may cause the stent 300 in the catheter mechanism 200 to shift, release in advance, etc.; the structure is simple and lightweight, and can be installed and removed by pressing, which can cope with complex environments during clinical use. For example, during use, the anti-trigger structure 700 will inevitably come into contact with liquids such as blood and saline. If pulling or pulling is used, there will be risks of slipping and collision at the contact part.
