[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, this embodiment provides a training device for spinal surgery, which includes a multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm with a force control function, a guide for limiting a cutting tool, a deflection observation module, a visual observation module, a bearing module, a control module, an alarm module, etc. Among them, the deflection observation module is fixedly connected to the guide to measure the radial deflection of the cutting tool, and an optical tracer is fixed on the guide, the cutting tool, the bearing module and other components. The optical tracer is used as an optical navigation module to monitor the movement trajectory of each component. The bearing module is used to place the sample and is provided with a multi-dimensional cutting force sensor and a multi-dimensional acceleration sensor. When the operator holds the cutting tool to perform a cutting operation on the sample, each sensor can monitor in real time and transmit the measurement signal to the control module. When the detection value of the sensor deviates from the allowable range, the control module gives a voice reminder through the alarm module, and can also further control the multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm to make corrections and compensations. The operator can master the correction skills by sensing the movement compensation of the mechanical arm, improve the stability of the surgical operation, and achieve the training purpose.

[0038] The following is a detailed introduction to each module:

[0039] First, there is a multi-freedom robot arm 6 with a force control function. The multi-freedom robot arm 6 has at least six degrees of freedom, including X movement, Y movement, Z movement, X rotation, Y rotation, and Z rotation, thereby ensuring high flexibility. The multi-freedom robot arm includes multiple connecting rods and multiple movable joints, and each movable joint realizes relative rotation through a joint drive motor, thereby realizing the adjustment of multiple postures. At the same time, a rotation angle sensor is installed at each movable joint to monitor the movement state of each joint, and the control module can control the operation of the joint drive motor to correct and compensate the cutting process. The multi-freedom robot arm can imitate human body movement to realize waist rotation, shoulder rotation, elbow rotation, wrist rotation, pitch and other posture adjustments, thereby satisfying cutting operations at different points and angles.

[0040] Furthermore, the movable end of the multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm 6 is equipped with a guide, such as Figure 2 As shown, the guide includes a connecting handle 60 and a guide rod 64. The upper end of the connecting handle 60 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the robotic arm 6 through a flange 61, and the lower end of the connecting handle 60 is vertically connected to the guide rod 64. The middle segment of the connecting handle 60 is formed with a bending angle greater than 90 degrees, so that the guide rod forms an angle of 30° to 60° relative to the horizontal plane or the vertical plane, so that the operation of the cutting tool inserted into the guide rod is not blocked and does not interfere with the robotic arm, which is convenient for operation and doctor's positioning.

[0041] Furthermore, the interior of the guide rod 64 is hollow, and a swivel support 63 is coaxially mounted on the upper end of the guide rod. The swivel support 63 adopts a bearing structure and is used to coaxially load the chuck of the cutting tool 1. The chuck can rotate relative to the guide rod 64. The chuck is used to clamp a rod-shaped instrument such as a Kirschner wire or a drill. The rod-shaped instrument coaxially penetrates the guide rod 64 downward. There is a certain gap between the rod-shaped instrument and the inner wall of the guide rod to prevent interference with the guide rod. Here, the swivel support is used to isolate the guide rod from the chuck of the cutting tool to prevent the cutting tool from directly contacting the guide rod during high-speed rotation. In addition, the rod-shaped instrument can also be other similar tools. For example, when bone cutting is required, the rod-shaped instrument can be switched to an electric milling cutter; when a bone screw needs to be rotated, the rod-shaped instrument can be replaced with an electric screwdriver. The guide rod is used to constrain the position of the rod-shaped instrument to ensure the accuracy of its surgical point and tilt angle. In practical applications, it is necessary to replace the guide according to the size of the rod-shaped instrument to ensure that the size of the guide rod is compatible with the rod-shaped instrument.

[0042] Furthermore, the lower end of the guide rod 64 is coaxially connected with a deflection observation module 2 for observing the radial deflection displacement of the rod-shaped instrument. Since the rod-shaped instrument directly acts on the hard bone tissue such as the spine, even under the constraint of the guide rod 64, it will still undergo uncontrollable deflection. At this time, the operator holding the cutting tool is required to make corrections in time, and beginners cannot master the correction skills. The purpose of the deflection observation module is to help the operator master the correction skills. The deflection amount of the rod-shaped instrument is first measured using the deflection observation module, and then the corresponding movement compensation is performed through the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm to ensure that the rod-shaped instrument does not deviate from the preset trajectory during the movement. The operator can master the correction skills by sensing the movement compensation of the robotic arm, thereby improving the stability of the doctor's nail placement and opening, avoiding drilling jumps, slippage and other problems, and finally achieving better surgical results in actual surgery.

[0043] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, the deflection observation module 2 includes a hollow mounting tube 200, and the barrel of the mounting tube 200 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes 202 in the radial direction. The plurality of threaded holes 202 are used to respectively install different types of non-contact distance measuring sensors 206, including laser Doppler probes, eddy current distance measuring probes, etc. The detection heads 208 of various distance measuring sensors face the hollow cavity 204 of the mounting tube 200, and are connected through the threaded holes 202 of the side wall, and can also be further fixed by the fixing nut 207. The detection head 208 observes the radial deflection displacement of the rod-shaped instrument inwardly in the radial direction, and provides accurate data feedback for the operator. The rod-shaped instrument also has a certain gap with the inner wall of the mounting tube 200 to prevent interference with the mounting tube. In addition, the inner wall surface of the mounting tube 200 is formed with an avoidance groove 205 connected with the threaded hole 202, and the avoidance groove 205 can accommodate the detection head 208 of the non-contact distance measuring sensor, and at the same time provide an isolation space between the non-contact distance measuring sensor and the rod-shaped instrument to prevent the risk of collision. The detection head 208 of the non-contact distance measurement sensor is located in the avoidance groove 205, and the fixing nut 207 is mounted on the shell surface of the non-contact distance measurement sensor located outside the mounting tube 200. The detection head 208 and the fixing nut 207 are respectively pressed against the inner wall surface and the outer wall surface of the mounting tube 200, thereby locking the non-contact distance measurement sensor.

[0044] The deflection observation module 2 also includes a docking tube 201 coaxially connected to the mounting tube 200 , the hollow cavity 203 of the docking tube 201 is coaxially connected to the hollow cavity 204 of the mounting tube 200 , and the docking tube 201 is threadedly connected to the external thread 65 at the lower end of the guide rod 64 .

[0045] Furthermore, an optical tracer 62 is installed on the connecting handle 60 or the guide rod 64 of the guide, and an optical tracer is also installed on the cutting tool. The optical tracer is used to record the position of the corresponding component and detect whether it deviates from the preset trajectory, especially whether the position offset occurs during the advancement of the tool such as the drill bit, so as to timely detect and give voice reminders, and further compensate and correct through the multi-degree-of-freedom robot arm.

[0046] An optical tracer is a device that uses optical principles to monitor and record fluid movement. Its working principle mainly includes the steps of light source emission-light beam transmission-target object reflection-receiver reception-signal processing. An optical tracer first requires a light source, such as a laser or LED light, to emit a highly monochromatic and directional light beam; the emitted light beam is adjusted and transmitted by an optical system (such as a lens, a reflector, etc.) to form a light beam with a specific direction and shape; when the light beam hits the target object, part of the light beam will be reflected on the surface of the object. The direction and intensity of the reflected light beam are related to the surface characteristics, shape and position of the object; the reflected light beam is adjusted and transmitted by the optical system and finally received by a receiver (such as a photodiode, a CCD camera, etc.). The receiver detects the intensity and direction of the reflected light beam; the receiver converts the received light signal into an electrical signal, and extracts the position, speed, posture and other parameters of the target object through signal processing.

[0047] Furthermore, the present invention also improves the bearing module for placing the cutting sample block to simulate the actual spinal morphology.

[0048] like Figure 7 As shown, the bearing module 5 includes a floating platform 52, a multi-dimensional cutting force sensor, a multi-dimensional acceleration sensor 51, a plurality of parallel elastic elements 53 and an optical tracer 56. The multi-dimensional cutting force sensor is arranged in the base platform 54 and connected to the floating platform through a plurality of elastic elements 53.

[0049] Specifically, the inner cavity of the base platform 54 is provided with a multi-dimensional cutting force sensor, the floating platform 52 is located above the base platform 54, and the upper surface of the base platform 54 and the lower surface of the floating platform are connected through a plurality of elastic elements 53 arranged side by side (in parallel).

[0050] The elastic element 53 includes a vertical support block, which has a gap groove opened in the horizontal direction, and a plurality of gap grooves are arranged in the height direction of the vertical support block. The opening directions of the gap grooves adjacent to each other are opposite, and the gap groove includes a sheet gap 531 and a columnar gap 532 connected to each other in the horizontal direction, and the columnar gap 532 is located at the end of the gap groove away from the opening, and the center line of the columnar gap is perpendicular to the opening direction of the gap groove. The gap of the sheet gap in the vertical direction is smaller than the inner diameter of the columnar gap. More specifically, along the length direction of the vertical support block, the gap groove forms an opening at the first side surface 533 of the vertical support block; along the width direction of the vertical support block, the gap groove passes through the two opposite second side surfaces 534 of the vertical support block; the first side surface is perpendicular to the second side surface, and the length direction, width direction, and height direction of the vertical support block are perpendicular to each other, and the height direction is the vertical direction.

[0051] As an example, the number of the elastic elements 53 is 4. When viewed from top to bottom, the 4 elastic elements are arranged in an X shape and are symmetrical to each other. The elastic element can well simulate the elastic characteristics of the spine. The part between the two gap grooves can simulate the vertebrae. The gap groove can simulate the intervertebral disc between the upper and lower vertebrae. The columnar gap provides the elastic element with the degree of freedom of torsion. The entire floating platform can undergo vertical elastic displacement and pitch-roll rotation under the action of the elastic element, thereby being able to well imitate the movement behavior elasticity of the patient's spine during surgery. Compared with springs or other existing elastic materials, it is more in line with the real physiological characteristics of the spine. The design of the load-bearing module makes the entire device particularly suitable for simulation exercises of spinal surgery, such as pedicle screw placement.

[0052] Further, such as Figure 8 As shown, the cutting sample block 3 is a vertebral sample block, and the sample block surface 301 has the same surface morphology as the human vertebra. A positioning groove 523 and a threaded through hole 525 adapted to the cutting sample block are provided at the center of the floating platform 52, thereby ensuring that the cutting sample block is located on the central axis of the base platform 54 as much as possible, so that the multi-dimensional cutting force sensor can better sense the pressure change. The bottom of the cutting sample block 3 described in the present invention is provided with a rounded rectangular interface base 302 adapted to the positioning groove 523 at the center of the floating platform 52, and an internal threaded hole 303 is provided at the center of the base, and the internal threaded hole 303 is adapted to the threaded through hole 525 at the center of the floating platform.

[0053] Further, if Fig. 9 As shown, the floating platform 52 is provided with a mounting groove 522 for mounting the multi-dimensional acceleration sensor 51 and a mounting hole 524 for mounting the optical tracer 56. The significance of the installation of the mounting groove 522 and the mounting hole 524 is to determine the spatial position and posture of the optical tracer 56 and the multi-dimensional acceleration sensor 51 relative to the cutting sample block by means of mechanical constraints, so as to facilitate the reasoning of the vibration and position posture of the cutting sample block. The mounting groove 522 is arranged at the edge of the upper surface of the floating platform 52, and the mounting hole 524 is arranged on the side wall surface of the floating platform 52, and the optical tracer 56 is connected upwardly through the vertically arranged tracer connecting rod 55, so that it is as far away from the operating area of ​​the floating platform 52 as possible, so as to avoid affecting the surgical operation of the cutting sample block. The floating platform is also provided with a through hole 521 for connecting the upper end surface of the elastic element 53.

[0054] Furthermore, the training device also includes a visual observation module, and the visual observation module 4 includes an optical camera and a lens, so the module is placed independently of the supporting module 5 and the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 6, and can capture and record the process of the tool contacting and operating with each other on the surface of the cutting sample at a distance that does not affect the training operation.

[0055] Furthermore, the training device also includes a control module, which includes a memory, a computer, and a display.

[0056] The memory stores the geometric shape of the cutting sample and the cutting planning path, as well as the operation control program, the state detection and early warning algorithm and the whole process monitoring data.

[0057] Furthermore, the computer is connected in communication with the memory, display, and various sensors (including optical tracers, non-contact distance sensors, multi-dimensional cutting force sensors, and multi-dimensional acceleration sensors) to determine whether the feedback signals of each sensor are within the allowable range, such as the multi-dimensional acceleration sensor detecting a vibration of more than 0.5 mm between the cutting tool and the cutting sample, the non-contact distance sensor detecting a radial deflection of the cutting tool and other rod-shaped instruments themselves, the optical tracer detecting a deviation of more than 1 mm from the planned trajectory, the optical tracer or visual observation module detecting a slip of the entry point of the cutter head on the surface, and the multi-dimensional cutting force sensor detecting a cutting force greater than 2 N along the radial direction of the Kirschner wire or the cutting tool. If the feedback signal of the sensor exceeds the allowable range, a voice reminder is given through the alarm module, and the robot arm is controlled to make corresponding adjustments and corrections, so that the cutting tool and the like are advanced along the preset trajectory without deviation.

[0058] Furthermore, the display is used to display the digital twin image reconstructed by the optical navigation module, the image captured by the visual detection module, and various sensor information and state reasoning information.

[0059] In summary, the present invention provides a training device for spinal surgery, which includes a multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm, a guide, a deflection observation module, a visual observation module, a bearing module, a control module, an alarm module, etc. Among them, the deflection observation module is fixedly connected to the guide to measure the radial deflection of the cutting tool, and an optical tracer is fixed on the guide, the cutting tool, the bearing module and other components to monitor the trajectory. The optical tracer is used as an optical navigation module to monitor the movement trajectory of each component. The bearing module is used to place the sample and is provided with a multi-dimensional cutting force sensor and a multi-dimensional acceleration sensor. When the operator holds the cutting tool to perform a cutting operation on the sample, each sensor can monitor in real time and transmit the measurement signal to the control module. When the detection value of the sensor deviates from the allowable range, the control module controls the multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm to perform correction compensation and gives a voice reminder through the alarm module. The operator can master the correction skills by sensing the movement compensation of the mechanical arm, and assist the doctor to develop a good nail placement and drilling feel, so as to achieve the training purpose.
