[0002] Ablation electrodes are surgical devices used during surgery. Their primary functions include cutting, hemostasis, irrigation, and aspiration. They operate by applying a high-frequency current through the blade, generating a thermal effect that causes the blade to act on tissue, creating eschars or ruptures, thereby achieving coagulation or cutting.

[0003] The multifunctional high-frequency surgical electrode with irrigation and suction functions requires a hollow inner tube to create a suction channel. Furthermore, the ablation electrode with irrigation and suction functions requires an irrigation and suction telescopic tube that is sheathed around the inner tube.

[0004] In the prior art, currently available multifunctional ablation electrodes with irrigation and suction functions require medical personnel to operate a trigger mechanism to control the suction function when using the suction function. Furthermore, the telescopic trigger mechanism must be activated to control the forward extension of the irrigation and suction telescopic tube, thereby enabling the suction function of the ablation electrode. Therefore, when using the suction function of the prior art multifunctional ablation electrode, these two steps must be completed before the suction function of the ablation electrode can be activated. This makes the operation of the existing multifunctional ablation electrode complex and difficult to achieve a quick and effective suction function.

[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art are in urgent need of a new trigger mechanism for a multifunctional ablation electrode, through which medical workers can achieve the following: they only need to operate the switch of the suction function device, and the flushing and suction telescopic tube will be synchronously extended to the specified position, thereby simplifying and reducing the doctor's operation and ensuring the convenience of equipment use.

[0036] The technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0037] 1. The trigger mechanism for a multifunctional ablation electrode provided by the present invention comprises:

[0038] The irrigation and suction sleeve comprises: an irrigation and suction inner tube, and a suction telescopic tube which is sleeved on the outer surface of the irrigation and suction inner tube and is slidably connected to the irrigation and suction inner tube;

[0039] The electrode is fixed on the irrigation and suction inner tube; the suction telescopic tube is driven to extend and retract, and when the suction telescopic tube is extended to the working position in front of the electrode, the ablation electrode performs the suction operation, and when the suction telescopic tube is retracted to the initial position behind the electrode, the ablation electrode performs the ablation and irrigation operations;

[0040] The suction control wrench controls the suction function of the ablation electrode when closed. The suction control wrench is transmission-connected to the telescopic tube pushing block sleeved on the flushing pipe through a first linkage mechanism, and the telescopic tube pushing block is detachably connected to the telescopic tube connecting block on the suction telescopic tube; when the suction control wrench triggers the suction action, the suction control wrench links the telescopic tube pushing block to move toward the telescopic tube connecting block through the first linkage mechanism, and is connected to the telescopic tube connecting block to push the suction telescopic tube out.

[0041] In existing multifunctional ablation electrodes with irrigation and suction functions, when using the suction function, doctors must first operate the suction function device and then adjust the suction tube extension device to extend the suction tube forward, or adjust the suction tube first and then operate the suction function device. This makes it very complicated for medical workers to operate these ablation electrodes and activate the suction function.

[0042] In the present invention, the suction control wrench is connected to the telescopic tube push block mounted on the flushing pipe through a first linkage mechanism. A detachable clamping structure is provided to connect the telescopic tube push block to the suction telescopic tube. The above structure can effectively achieve: the suction control wrench is linked to the telescopic tube push block through the first linkage mechanism to move toward the telescopic tube connecting block, and is clamped and connected with the telescopic tube connecting block, thereby pushing the suction telescopic tube to extend. The telescopic action of the suction telescopic tube is then achieved by linking the suction control wrench. Through the present invention, when a doctor uses a multifunctional ablation electrode with flushing and suction functions for surgery, he only needs to operate the switch of the suction function device, and the above-mentioned suction telescopic tube will be extended to the position, simplifying and reducing the doctor's operation and saving the doctor's physical energy.

[0043] 2. The trigger mechanism for the multifunctional ablation electrode provided by the present invention, wherein the first linkage mechanism comprises: a connecting rod provided on the suction control wrench, a sliding sleeve transmission-connected to the telescopic tube push block, and a fixed rotating shaft;

[0044] The connecting rod is pivotally connected to the fixed rotating shaft and is connected to the sliding sleeve to drive the sliding sleeve to rotate around the fixed rotating shaft; the sliding sleeve is also provided with a guide slot, and the connecting end of the telescopic tube pushing block is slidably provided in the guide slot to drive the telescopic tube pushing block to extend and retract through the sliding sleeve.

[0045] In this invention, a connecting rod pivotally connected to a fixed shaft stably and reliably converts the movement of the suction control wrench into the horizontal sliding movement of a driving sliding sleeve along the flushing pipe. The sliding sleeve then drives the telescopic tube pusher block to engage the telescopic tube connecting block on the suction telescopic tube. The guide grooves on the driving sliding sleeve stably and reliably achieve the telescopic movement of the telescopic tube pusher block, resulting in a stable and reliable structure.

[0046] 3. In the trigger mechanism for the multifunctional ablation electrode provided by the present invention, the telescopic tube push block is an annular structure that is sleeved on the irrigation pipe, and the telescopic tube connecting block is a sleeve structure that is sleeved on the irrigation pipe and is compatible with the telescopic tube push block;

[0047] An annular groove is provided on the outer periphery of the telescopic tube pushing block; a hook is provided on the telescopic tube connecting block, and a guide slope is provided on the side of the hook facing the annular groove to guide the telescopic tube pushing block to cooperate and engage with the telescopic tube connecting block.

[0048] In the present invention, the telescopic tube pusher block and the telescopic tube connecting block are annular structures that are sleeved onto the flushing pipe, ensuring stable and reliable telescopic sliding. Furthermore, an annular groove on the outer periphery of the telescopic tube pusher block and a hook on the telescopic tube connecting block, guided by a guide ramp, ensure a stable and reliable clamping and fixing of the telescopic tube pusher block and the telescopic tube connecting block.

[0049] 4. The trigger mechanism for the multifunctional ablation electrode provided by the present invention further includes: a wrench self-locking mechanism for controlling the suction control wrench to maintain a closed state;

[0050] The wrench self-locking mechanism comprises:

[0051] A self-locking buckle, which is provided on the suction control wrench and has a Y-shaped structure with a contracted portion on a side close to the suction control wrench;

[0052] A limit spring is arranged on the moving path of the self-locking buckle; when the attraction control wrench is closed, the limit spring is engaged with the contraction portion to prevent the attraction control wrench from resetting, so that the attraction control wrench remains in a closed state; when the attraction control wrench is in a closed state and is pressed again, the limit spring unlocks the self-locking buckle.

[0053] The present invention also has a wrench self-locking mechanism for limiting the position of the suction control wrench. The wrench self-locking mechanism allows the operator to lock the position of the suction control wrench, so that medical workers do not have to hold the suction control wrench tightly all the time, effectively reducing the operator's grip fatigue.

[0054] 5. The trigger mechanism for the multifunctional ablation electrode provided by the present invention further includes: a suction line control mechanism, including:

[0055] a suction tube, connected to the flushing pipeline;

[0056] The suction valve control rod has one end connected to the suction control wrench and the other end extending into the pipe of the suction tube; the suction valve control rod is also provided with a first sealing portion for closing the suction tube, and the suction valve control rod is driven to extend and retract to respectively realize the conduction and closure of the suction pipeline.

[0057] In the present invention, the suction valve control rod can be effectively linked to the suction control wrench. When the suction control wrench is in the reset state, the suction valve control rod closes the pipeline channel of the suction tube. In addition, when the suction control wrench is in the grip state, the suction tube is opened to realize the suction function of the ablation electrode.

[0058] 6. The trigger mechanism for the multifunctional ablation electrode provided by the present invention, the suction pipeline control mechanism, also includes: a first return spring, which is sleeved on the outside of the suction valve control rod; when the suction control wrench is closed, the first return spring is compressed and the suction valve control rod moves toward the direction of the suction tube to control the conduction of the suction tube through the first sealing part; when the suction control wrench is in a closed state and is pressed again, the limit spring unlocks the self-locking buckle, the first return spring drives the suction control wrench to reset, and the first sealing part restores the closure of the suction tube.

[0059] In the present invention, a first return spring is sleeved around the suction valve control lever. This first return spring effectively compresses when the suction control lever is closed. When the self-locking buckle is unlocked, the first return spring releases its elastic force, driving the suction control lever back into position, thereby closing the suction tube with the first sealing portion of the suction valve control lever. This first return spring cleverly achieves automatic return of the suction valve control lever, offering the advantages of simple structure, compact size, and reliable stability.

[0060] 7. The trigger mechanism for the multifunctional ablation electrode provided by the present invention further includes: a flushing trigger mechanism, specifically including:

[0061] an irrigation liquid supply tube, connected to the irrigation pipeline, and used for providing irrigation liquid to the ablation electrode;

[0062] The flushing valve control rod is arranged on the communication path between the flushing pipe and the flushing liquid supply pipe, and seals the two by a second sealing part; the flushing valve control rod is driven to move toward the extension direction of the flushing pipe to an extended position to open the flushing valve; and the flushing valve control rod is driven to move away from the connection position between the flushing pipe and the flushing liquid supply pipe to a reset position to close the flushing valve.

[0063] In the present invention, the flushing valve control rod is used to control the opening and closing of the connection node between the flushing pipeline and the flushing liquid supply pipe. The flushing valve control rod is driven by an operator or a control mechanism to extend and retract to realize the opening and closing of the flushing valve.

[0064] 8. The trigger mechanism and flushing trigger mechanism for the multifunctional ablation electrode provided by the present invention also include: a self-locking mechanism for keeping the flushing valve control rod in the extended position and the flushing valve in the open state; the self-locking mechanism includes: a connecting rod arranged on the flushing valve control rod, and a clamp arranged on the moving path of the connecting rod and adapted to the connecting rod; the clamp clamps and fixes the connecting rod to fix the flushing valve control rod.

[0065] In the present invention, the self-locking mechanism allows the flushing valve control rod to remain in the extended position and the flushing valve to remain open, thereby effectively ensuring that the ablation electrode is flushed. The operator does not need to continuously push the flushing valve control rod to keep the flushing valve open, effectively reducing the complexity of the operator's operation.

[0066] 9. The trigger mechanism and flushing trigger mechanism for the multifunctional ablation electrode provided by the present invention further include:

[0067] a second return spring, sleeved on the flushing valve control rod;

[0068] When the flushing valve control rod is extended to open the flushing valve, the second return spring is compressed, and the flushing pipe and the flushing liquid supply pipe are connected;

[0069] When the flushing valve control rod is in the extended state, the self-locking mechanism unlocks the flushing valve control rod, the second return spring drives the flushing valve control rod to return to its original position, and the second sealing portion resumes closing the flushing liquid supply pipe.

[0070] In the present invention, the second return spring compresses and stores compression energy when the flush valve control rod extends, opening the flush valve. When the self-locking mechanism unlocks the flush valve control rod, the second return spring releases its elastic force, driving the flush valve control rod back to its original position. This automatically resets the second sealing portion of the flush valve control rod, sealing the flushing liquid supply pipe.

[0071] 10. The ablation electrode with irrigation and suction functions provided by the present invention includes: a trigger mechanism for the multifunctional ablation electrode; and an irrigation device, a suction device, and an ablation device. The ablation electrode of the present invention includes the above-mentioned trigger mechanism and thus has all the advantages of the trigger mechanism. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The first linkage mechanism comprises a connecting rod 9 provided on the suction control wrench 5, a sliding sleeve 10 drivingly connected to the telescopic tube push block 7, and a fixed shaft 11. The connecting rod 9 is pivotally connected to the fixed shaft 11 and connected to the sliding sleeve 10 to drive the sliding sleeve 10 to rotate about the fixed shaft 11. The sliding sleeve 10 is also provided with a guide slot 12, into which the connecting end of the telescopic tube push block 7 slides, thereby driving the telescopic movement of the telescopic tube push block 7 through the sliding sleeve 10.

[0105] In addition, in order to realize the automatic reset of the second sealing portion 24 of the flushing valve control rod 23, the flushing liquid supply pipe 22 is sealed. Figure 6 As shown, the flushing trigger mechanism also includes:

[0106] A second return spring 28 is sleeved on the flushing valve control rod 23;

[0107] When the flushing valve control rod 23 is extended to open the flushing valve, the second return spring 28 is compressed, and the flushing pipe 6 and the flushing liquid supply pipe 22 are connected;

[0108] When the flushing valve control rod 23 is in the extended state, the self-locking mechanism 25 unlocks the flushing valve control rod 23 , the second reset spring 28 drives the flushing valve control rod 23 to reset, and the second sealing portion 24 resumes closing the flushing liquid supply pipe 22 .

[0109] Of course, the specific structure of the first linkage mechanism is not specifically limited in this embodiment. In other embodiments, the first linkage mechanism can also be an electronically controlled mechanism. When the suction control wrench 5 is grasped, it sends a control signal to the first linkage mechanism, which then controls the telescopic tube push block 7 to extend and retract, thereby driving the telescopic tube push block 7 toward the telescopic tube connecting block 8 and engaging with the telescopic tube connecting block 8, thereby pushing the suction telescopic tube 3 out.

[0110] Of course, in this embodiment, there is no specific limitation on the clamping method of the telescopic tube pushing block 7 and the telescopic tube connecting block 8. In other embodiments, the telescopic tube pushing block 7 and the telescopic tube connecting block 8 can also be connected by other clamping structures, such as mutually adapted claws respectively provided on the telescopic tube pushing block 7 and the telescopic tube connecting block 8.

[0111] Of course, in this embodiment, the specific structure of the wrench self-locking mechanism 14 is not specifically limited. In other embodiments, the wrench self-locking mechanism 14 can also be a matching hook and buckle structure. When the attraction control wrench 5 is closed, the hook is locked into the buckle to prevent the attraction control wrench 5 from resetting, so that the attraction control wrench 5 remains in a closed state; when the attraction control wrench 5 is in a closed state and is pressed again, the buckle structure separates to achieve unlocking.

[0112] Of course, in this embodiment, the specific structure of the first return spring 20 and the second return spring 28 is not specifically limited. In other embodiments, the first return spring 20 and the second return spring 28 can be replaced by elastic rubber parts or electromagnetic devices to respectively realize the reset action of the suction control wrench 5 and the automatic reset of the flushing valve control rod 23.
