Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of imaging diagnostic equipment, and in particular to an ultrasonic imaging diagnostic auxiliary manipulator and a method for using the same. Background Art
[0002] The ultrasonic imaging diagnostic auxiliary robot is a medical device that integrates advanced image recognition and mechanical control technologies. It can capture and analyze medical images in real time through high-precision sensors and cameras, providing doctors with accurate auxiliary diagnostic information. It can simulate human hand movements and assist doctors in performing detailed image annotation, lesion area measurement, and three-dimensional reconstruction, greatly improving the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis.
[0003] The patent with application number CN202210576457.1 discloses an operating hand system and method for a remote cardiac color ultrasound robot, including a control handle, a resistive screen and an embedded computer. The control handle is connected to the embedded computer circuit, and the resistive screen is connected to the embedded computer circuit. The cardiac color ultrasound robot includes a robotic arm with a pressure sensor at the end of the robotic arm. According to the force condition feedback from the robot end, different vibration modes are used to allow doctors to understand the interaction status between the remote robot and the patient from the hand feeling.
[0004] In medical imaging diagnosis, single-angle ultrasonic detection is prone to blind spots due to the non-parallel direction of blood flow in the lesion and the ultrasonic beam, increasing the risk of missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. To reduce this risk, medical personnel often manually adjust the probe angle and perform multi-directional scans. However, in remote diagnosis, although high-precision robotic arms can improve accuracy, their application is limited due to high cost and complex maintenance. Traditional robotic arms are difficult to meet the needs of fine angle swings. At the same time, the robotic arms mainly assist in the movement of the probe, and the coupling agent still needs to be applied by the nurse before detection, which increases labor costs and reduces the level of automation in remote diagnosis.
[0005] In view of this, we propose an ultrasonic imaging diagnosis-assisted manipulator and a method of using the same. Summary of the invention

The ultrasonic imaging diagnosis auxiliary manipulator according to claim 4, characterized in that: A limit sliding block (2230) is integrally formed on the bottom surface of the moving block (223) and is slidably connected to the inside of the limit sliding groove (2110); a connecting groove (2231) is provided inside the moving block (223) and is connected to the left and right sides; and a block top opening groove (2232) is provided on the top surface of the moving block (223) for providing a moving range for the shifting rod (2220).
6. The ultrasonic imaging diagnosis auxiliary manipulator according to claim 5, characterized in that: A frame body slide groove (2250) extending from left to right is provided at a position near the top of the outer side wall of the swing bracket (225), and the same movable cross bar (224) is placed inside the connecting groove (2231) and the frame body slide groove (2250). The movable cross bar (224) is slidably connected to the inside of the arc groove (2111), and a disc that contacts the outer side wall of the movable cross bar (224) is integrally formed at the end position of the movable cross bar (224).
7. A method for using an ultrasonic imaging diagnosis auxiliary manipulator, using the ultrasonic imaging diagnosis auxiliary manipulator according to claim 6, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: S1. First, through remote image and sound transmission, we can get a preliminary understanding of the patient's condition and guide the patient to lie on the testing bed; S2. Then, the remote doctor controls the entire mechanical arm (100) to move by signal transmission, directly places the ultrasonic probe (240) in the detection device (200) against the patient's skin, and drives the ultrasonic probe (240) to move back and forth at the position of the patient that needs to be detected; S3. At the same time, the driving motor (221) in the driving mechanism (220) is started to drive the dial (222) to rotate, and the moving block (223) as a whole moves back and forth inside the fixed box body (211); S4. At this time, the movable cross bar (224) placed inside the connecting groove (2231) moves together with the movable block (223). While its position inside the arc groove (2111) is constantly changing, it drives the swing bracket (225) to swing back and forth as a whole, and causes the clamping frame (226) clamping the ultrasonic probe (240) to change its inclination angle together, thereby simulating manual diagnosis; S5, while the clamping frame (226) is swinging, the rod wall gear (227) fixed on one of the frame wall center rods drives the outer ring gear (2331) to reciprocate, and the plurality of ratchet pawls (2332) inside the outer ring gear (2331) drive the rotating ratchet wheel (2330) and the rotating shaft (231) to rotate in one direction during the reciprocating rotation; S6. At this time, the continuously rotating application roller (232) squeezes and massages the patient's skin while bringing out the coupling agent inside the outer casing frame (234), and along with the continuously moving detection device (200), the coupling agent is evenly applied to the position of the patient where detection is required; S7. After the coupling agent is discharged, the remote medical staff controls the robotic arm (100) to move the ultrasonic probe (240) accurately to the position of the patient that needs to be examined, and scans the same part from different directions by continuously changing the tilt angle of the ultrasonic probe (240); S8. After the detection is completed, the driving motor (221) is turned off, and the mechanical arm (100) is controlled to restore the position of the detection device (200), and the coupling agent is filled into the outer casing (234) through the injection tube (235) by means of the external injection device.
