Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical robots, and in particular relates to a master-slave femoral shaft fracture reduction parallel robot and a control system thereof. Background Art
[0002] Femoral shaft fracture refers to the fracture of the femoral shaft below the trochanter and above the femoral condyle. The femoral shaft is the thickest, longest and most stress-bearing tubular bone in the human body. It usually needs to be subjected to strong violence to fracture, such as direct impact from heavy objects, wheel crushing, firearm injury, etc. After the fracture, due to damage to the surrounding soft tissue, the blood supply is relatively poor. After the injury, patients often experience thigh swelling, subcutaneous ecchymosis, local angulation, shortening and rotational deformity, and the hip and knee joints cannot move. Due to the large dose of radiation involved in the treatment, the surgeon is exposed to radiation for a long time during treatment, so the doctor will use a reduction robot to reduce the fracture position.
[0003] Existing reduction parallel robots do face some challenges in practical applications, mainly including their relatively limited workspace, which limits the robot's flexibility and operating range in complex fracture reduction tasks. In addition, the robot's posture adjustment process is often not convenient enough, which increases the complexity and time cost of surgical operations. More importantly, most reduction parallel robots are designed with a fixed height. This design ignores the significant height and body shape differences between patients. Due to the different body shapes of each patient, fixed-height robot support equipment is difficult to provide a personalized comfort experience, which may not only affect the surgical effect, but also bring unnecessary physical burden and psychological pressure to the patient, thereby reducing the overall convenience of use and patient satisfaction.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0026] (1) The present invention provides an adjustment mechanism at the top of the base, which can adjust the position of the slave robot by driving the first driver so as to reduce the fracture of the patient's left leg or right leg respectively. At the same time, the telescopic function of the electric telescopic column allows the height of the slave robot to be adjusted to accommodate patients of different body shapes, thereby improving the patient's comfort during surgery.

[0043] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0044] Example 1:
[0045] See also Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a master-slave parallel robot for femoral shaft fracture reduction comprises:
[0046] Base 1;
[0047] An adjustment mechanism 2 is mounted on one side of the top of the base 1, a slave robot 3 is mounted on the inner side of the upper portion of the adjustment mechanism 2, and a plurality of tooth blocks 8 are mounted on the inner wall of the slave robot 3. A support base 5 is mounted on the other side of the top of the base 1, and an operating table 7 is mounted on the top of the support base 5.
[0048] The adjustment mechanism 2 includes an adjustment box 21, a first driver 22, an adjustment screw 23, an adjustment block 24, a storage box 25, a lifting mechanism 26, and a limit slot 27. The adjustment box 21 is mounted on the top of the base 1, the first driver 22 is arranged on the outer wall of the adjustment box 21, the adjustment screw 23 is mounted between the inner walls of the adjustment box 21 via a bearing, the adjustment block 24 is mounted on the outer surface of the adjustment screw 23, the storage box 25 is mounted on the top of the adjustment block 24, the lifting mechanism 26 is arranged on the top of the storage box 25, and the limit slot 27 is opened at the top of the adjustment box 21;
[0049] The clamping mechanism 4 is installed at one end of the slave robot 3 and can clamp the broken leg to perform fracture reduction surgery;
[0050] The support mechanism 6 is installed between the outer wall of the support base 5 and the bottom end of the operating table 7, and the support mechanism 6 supports and fixes the patient's legs.
[0051] Depend on Figures 2 to 5 It can be seen that the lifting mechanism 26 includes a lifting frame 261, an electric telescopic column 262, a support ring 263, a support frame 264, a second driver 265 and an adjustment gear 266. The lifting frame 261 is installed at the top of the storage box 25, the electric telescopic column 262 is installed at the bottom end of the lifting frame 261, the support ring 263 is installed at the top of the lifting frame 261, and the inner wall of the support ring 263 is installed on the outer surface of the slave robot 3 through a bearing. The support frame 264 is installed at the lower part of the outer wall of the support ring 263, the second driver 265 is arranged on the upper part of the outer wall of the support frame 264, and the adjustment gear 266 is installed on the upper part of the inner wall of the support frame 264 through a bearing.
[0052] The clamping mechanism 4 includes a fixed frame 41, a third driver 42, forward and reverse screw rods 43, a movable frame 44 and a clamping plate 45. The fixed frame 41 is installed at the end of the slave robot 3 away from the lifting mechanism 26. The third driver 42 is arranged on the outer wall of the fixed frame 41. The forward and reverse screw rods 43 are installed between the inner walls on both sides of the fixed frame 41 through bearings. There are two movable frames 44 and two clamping plates 45, and the two movable frames 44 are installed on the outer surfaces of the forward and reverse screw rods 43. The two clamping plates 45 are respectively installed on the opposite surfaces of the two movable frames 44.
[0053] As can be seen from the above, first, it is confirmed whether the patient's fracture is in the left leg or the right leg, and then the slave robot 3 is adjusted to the position of the fractured leg. The adjustment screw 23 is driven by the first driver 22 to rotate, and then the adjustment block 24 drives the storage box 25 to move. At the same time, the support ring 263 also moves stably and drives the slave robot 3 to move together, so that the slave robot 3 can accurately reduce the fracture of the patient's injured leg. In addition, the telescopic function of the electric telescopic column 262 can drive the lifting frame 261 to move up and down, and then the support ring 263 drives the slave robot 3 to move up and down stably. This design can flexibly adjust the height of the slave robot 3 to adapt to patients of different body shapes, thereby improving the comfort during the operation, ensuring the effect of the operation, and avoiding unnecessary physical burden and psychological pressure on the patient, thereby improving the overall convenience of use and patient satisfaction; starting the second driver 265 can drive the adjustment gear 266 to rotate, and the meshing transmission between the adjustment gear 266 and several tooth blocks 8 is transmitted. The movement can drive the slave robot 3 to rotate and adjust. This function not only expands the robot's working space, but also significantly enhances its flexibility and operating range when dealing with complex fracture reduction tasks, making the robot's posture adjustment process more convenient, reducing the complexity and time cost of surgical operations, and effectively solving the problems of complex posture control, large working space restrictions, and low flexibility of surgical robots in the existing technology; when the robot position is adjusted to the optimal state, the third driver 42 is started to drive the forward and reverse screws 43 to rotate, and then drive the two moving frames 44 to respectively drive the clamping plates 45 thereon to move toward the middle, so that the two clamping plates 45 can firmly clamp the patient's broken leg, ensuring that the robot can smoothly perform the fracture reduction operation. The design of the forward and reverse screws 43 allows for flexible adjustment of the distance between the two clamping plates 45 to meet the needs of patients of different body shapes, further expanding the scope of application of the robot. Finally, through the close cooperation between the slave robot 3 and the control system, the fracture reduction operation can be completed efficiently and accurately.
[0054] Specifically, refer to Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the opposing surfaces of the two clamping plates 45 are both configured as arc-shaped concave surfaces, the adjusting gear 266 is engaged with a plurality of gear blocks 8, the support frame 264 is configured as an L-shaped structure, and the lifting frame 261 and the adjusting block 24 are both configured as T-shaped structures.
[0055] As can be seen from the above, the arc-shaped concave design of the two clamping plates 45 is conducive to firmly clamping and fixing the patient's broken leg. By adjusting the meshing state of the gear 266 and several tooth blocks 8, the slave robot 3 can be driven to rotate, thereby conveniently adjusting the position of the slave robot 3. In addition, the L-shaped support frame 264 is firmly connected to the support ring 263 to ensure the stability of the structure, and the design of the T-shaped lifting frame 261 and the adjustment block 24 effectively prevents them from detaching from the storage box 25 and the adjustment box 21.
[0056] Example 2:
[0057] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the support mechanism 6 includes a support frame 61, a support block 62, a fourth driver 63, an adjustment shaft 64 and a fixing mechanism 65. The support frame 61 is mounted on the bottom end of the operating bed 7, and the support block 62 is mounted in the middle of the bottom end of the support frame 61. Two fourth drivers 63, two adjustment shafts 64 and two fixing mechanisms 65 are provided, and the two fourth drivers 63 are respectively arranged on both sides of the bottom end of the support frame 61. The two adjustment shafts 64 are both mounted between the top frame wall and the bottom frame wall of the support frame 61 through bearings. The two fixing mechanisms 65 are respectively mounted on the outer surfaces of the two adjustment shafts 64.
[0058] The fixing mechanism 65 includes a support plate 651, a placement pad 652, a fixing frame 653, a guide groove 654, an electric telescopic rod 655 and a fixing plate 656. The support plate 651 is installed on the outer surface of the adjusting shaft 64, the placement pad 652 is installed on the top of the support plate 651, the fixing frame 653 is installed on the outer wall of the support plate 651, the guide groove 654 is opened in the middle of the outer wall of the fixing frame 653, the electric telescopic rod 655 is installed on the bottom groove wall of the guide groove 654, and the fixing plate 656 is installed on the top of the electric telescopic rod 655.
[0059] As can be seen from the above, first, the patient lies flat on the operating table 7, and then places both legs on the placement pads 652 of the two support mechanisms 6 respectively. Next, the electric telescopic rod 655 is started, and its contraction action and the coordinated limiting effect of the guide groove 654 are used to drive the fixing plate 656 to move downward smoothly and stably until it fits tightly against the patient's legs and firmly fixes the patient's legs on the placement pad 652. This design effectively supports and fixes the patient's leg roots, significantly improving the patient's leg stability during the operation. At the same time, the fourth driver 63 is started to drive the adjustment shaft 64 to rotate smoothly, thereby driving the fixing mechanism 65 to which the patient's uninjured leg is fixed to rotate. As the fixing mechanism 65 rotates, the support plate 651 and placement pad 652 therein also rotate together, so that the patient's uninjured leg naturally spreads outward. This step ensures that the uninjured leg will not cause any unnecessary interference or influence during the fracture reduction operation, providing a strong guarantee for the smooth progress of the operation.
[0060] Preferably, reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the top surface of the placement pad 652 is flush with the top surface of the operating bed 7, the electric telescopic rod 655 and the electric telescopic column 262 are set as a multi-stage telescopic structure, the bottom end surface of the fixed plate 656 is set as an arc structure, and a protrusion is provided on the outer wall of the fixed plate 656.
[0061] As can be seen from the above, this design ensures that the patient's legs can be placed comfortably on the placement pad 652. At the same time, the application of the multi-stage telescopic structure significantly expands the telescopic range of the electric telescopic rod 655 and the electric telescopic column 262. The arc shape enables the fixing plate 656 to fit the patient's legs more closely, thereby enhancing the fixation effect on the patient's legs. The protrusions on the fixing plate 656 slide inside the guide groove 654, which effectively limits the position of the fixing plate 656. The fixing frame 653 is also set to an L-shaped structure, so that it is firmly connected to the support plate 651.
[0062] Example 3:
[0063] refer to Figure 8 As shown, a control system of a master-slave parallel robot for femoral shaft fracture reduction includes:
[0064] Monitoring end, control end, processing end and display end;
[0065] The monitoring end includes a position sensing unit, a force sensing unit, a visual sensing unit, a safety and protection unit, and a feedback unit; the control end includes a master hand control unit, a mapping and conversion unit, and a slave hand control unit; the processing end includes a data processing unit, a storage unit, and an interaction and communication unit; and the display end includes an image processing unit and a display unit;
[0066] The position sensing unit is used to monitor the position information of the slave hand reduction robot in three-dimensional space in real time. The force sensing unit is used to measure and provide feedback on the magnitude and direction of the force applied to the fracture site by the slave hand reduction robot during the reduction process. The visual sensing unit is used to cooperate with the G-arm dual-display X-ray machine to collect real-time images of the patient's femoral shaft fracture. The safety and protection unit is used to monitor the operating status of the entire system. The feedback unit is used to feed back the information collected by the position sensing unit, the force sensing unit, the visual sensing unit, and the safety and protection unit to the control end.
[0067] The master-hand control unit is used to receive operation instructions input by the doctor through the master-hand control of the robot, and the mapping and conversion unit is used to map the operation instructions of the master-hand control unit to the slave-hand control unit. The slave-hand control unit controls the slave-hand reset robot to perform corresponding actions according to the instructions processed by the mapping and conversion unit;
[0068] The data processing unit is used to process and analyze various sensor data from the monitoring end, the storage unit is used to store the processed data and key information during the operation, and the interaction and communication unit is used to realize communication and collaboration between various units within the system, as well as communication between the system and external devices;
[0069] The image processing unit is used to process image data from the G-arm dual-display X-ray machine, and the display unit is used to display the processed images and other key information during the operation on the screen for the doctor's reference and decision-making.
[0070] As can be seen from the above, the entire control system integrates three sensor units, which can monitor the status of the slave-hand reduction robot and the fracture reduction status in real time, ensuring that the robot strictly follows the preset trajectory for precise movement and positioning. This system not only assists doctors in accurately controlling the reduction force and effectively avoiding secondary injuries to patients, but also can collect images of the femoral shaft fracture in real time and transmit them to the image processing unit for advanced processing and intuitive display, providing doctors with accurate reduction effect evaluation; among them, the safety and protection unit is responsible for comprehensively monitoring the operating status of the entire system, covering key parameters such as robot position, force output, and movement speed, as well as the stability of auxiliary equipment such as operating tables and traction frames. Once any abnormality is found, the system will immediately initiate protection measures to ensure the safety of patients and medical staff; the feedback unit is responsible for feeding back all kinds of collected information to the control end, supporting doctors or control algorithms to make decisions and adjustments according to real-time conditions. The master-hand control unit receives the operation instructions (such as movement, rotation, force application, etc.) input by the doctor through the master hand. These instructions are accurately processed by the mapping and conversion unit, taking into account the kinematic differences and The data processing unit performs in-depth processing and analysis on various data such as position, force, and image, extracts key information, and supports data fusion and algorithm optimization to improve reduction accuracy and efficiency. The storage unit is used to store processed data and key information during the operation, such as operation instructions and reduction effect images, providing strong support for subsequent data analysis, surgical effect evaluation, and scientific research. The interaction and communication unit promotes seamless collaboration between various units within the system and realizes efficient communication with external equipment (such as traction frame, G-arm dual-display X-ray machine, etc.). Doctors can interact with the system through the operation interface and easily view real-time images and adjust operation parameters. The image processing unit specializes in processing image data from the G-arm dual-display X-ray machine, including contrast enhancement, denoising, and precise marking of fracture sites, to provide high-definition and highly readable images for doctors' reference. Finally, this information is presented in multiple modes (such as two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and multi-view) through a high-resolution display unit to meet the needs of doctors at different stages of the operation.
[0071] Application examples:
[0072] This design is used in medical surgical environments, especially in orthopedic operating rooms for the reduction and treatment of femoral shaft fractures. In orthopedic operating rooms, femoral shaft fracture reduction surgery is a complex and delicate operation that requires doctors to have high professional skills and stability. The parallel robot system of this design can play its advantages. The operating room should be equipped with necessary medical equipment, such as X-ray machines, shadowless lamps, anesthesia machines, etc., to ensure the safety and accuracy of the operation. At the same time, the operating room should be kept clean and sterile to reduce the risk of infection. During the operation, the doctor operates the robot (slave end) through the console (master end), and the robot uses its high-precision motion control system to accurately reduce the patient's fracture site; the slave robot 3 of this design adopts a parallel mechanism design. This structure has the advantages of high rigidity, strong load-bearing capacity, and high precision. It is suitable for medical operations that require high-precision positioning and stable operation. The doctor controls the patient through the master end. The console sends instructions, and the control system converts these instructions into specific actions of the robot to achieve precise control of the robot slave end. This control method can reduce human errors during the operation and improve surgical accuracy. The robot system includes multiple modules such as the adjustment mechanism 2, the clamping mechanism 4, and the support mechanism 6. Each module has a specific function and completes the fracture reduction task through collaborative work. The design of the adjustment mechanism 2 enables the robot to be highly adjusted according to the body shape and surgical needs of different patients, thereby improving the patient's comfort during the operation and reducing the pain caused by the operation. Through the design of the clamping mechanism 4 and the support mechanism 6, the robot can be suitable for patients of different body shapes, expanding the scope of surgical application and improving the universality of the operation. The master-slave control system reduces the physical and mental burden of doctors during the operation, allowing doctors to focus more on the surgical operation itself and improve the efficiency and quality of the operation.
