Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a radioactive source implantation system capable of preventing radioactive source impaction and a use method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Radioactive particle implantation is a procedure that uses a puncture method to directly implant a number of radioactive particles into the tumor through a puncture needle for local radiotherapy. This type of surgery has a wide range of indications, including lung cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, etc., and it has small incisions, less bleeding, and relatively few surgical complications, but it can effectively inhibit tumor growth. However, this type of surgery currently takes a long time, and doctors need to be in close contact with the particles during the implantation process, which causes great radiation damage, which limits the application and promotion of this type of surgery. Therefore, the particle implantation robot system came into being.
[0003] For example, a multi-channel radiation source implanter proposed in Chinese patent CN202310036388.X includes a main body, a first motion platform, a connecting piece, a push rod output channel, a push rod, a push rod driving mechanism and a radiation source feeding part. A push rod driving mechanism is arranged on the main body, and the push rod driving mechanism is connected to the push rod output channel. The push rod driving mechanism is used to drive the push rod to move forward and backward along the push rod output channel. The radiation source feeding part is used to set particles or particle chains at the front end of the push rod. The particle chain is a strip containing radioactive material. The push rod output channel is a rigid structure or a flexible and bendable structure. A plurality of connecting holes are distributed on the connecting piece. The other end of the push rod output channel and the connecting piece are respectively fixed at the two ends of the first motion platform. The first motion platform is used to control the relative position of the other end of the push rod output channel and the connecting piece in space, so as to dock the other end of the push rod output channel with one end of different connecting holes on the connecting piece, and output the particles or particle chains from different connecting holes to realize multi-channel implantation.
[0004] However, in the above technical solution, since the other end of the push rod output channel is connected to the docking nozzle, when the docking nozzle is docked with one end of a different connecting hole on the connecting piece, if the radioactive source is stuck in the process of being transported from the push rod output channel to the delivery catheter through the docking nozzle, at this time, if the push rod output channel or the delivery catheter is pulled out, the radioactive source is likely to fall into the gap between the connecting piece and the first moving platform. The radioactive source is very small, and it is inconvenient to remove the radioactive source, and it may even cause embedment. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology.
[0005] In addition, there are multiple delivery channels in the entire multi-channel radiation source implanter. The connections between different delivery channels may cause the radiation source to get stuck, and there may be blood clots in the puncture needle that block the channel, which may also cause the radiation source to get stuck. At this time, a more reasonable implantation method needs to be adopted to avoid the occurrence of radiation source jam. Summary of the invention

[0022] (2) The push rod driving mechanism drives the push rod to move forward, and when passing through the radioactive source magazine, a radioactive source is pushed into the flexible pipe. Then the push rod driving mechanism drives the push rod to move backward, so that the front end of the push rod is located behind the radioactive source magazine. Then the push rod driving mechanism drives the push rod to move forward again to push out a new radioactive source. This process is repeated multiple times.
[0023] (3) When the number of radioactive sources in the flexible tube reaches n or m-kn, and does not exceed n at most, the push rod driving mechanism drives the push rod to push the radioactive sources retained in the flexible tube forward at one time, passing through the push rod output channel, the delivery catheter, and the puncture needle, and is pushed to the needle tip position of the puncture needle to be implanted, where k is a natural number and m is the upper limit of the number of radioactive sources accumulated in the puncture needle.

[0026] (4) until the total number of implanted delivery catheters reaches p; then the implantation of the delivery catheter is terminated.
[0027] (6) The forward and backward motion module drives the end of the push rod output channel to move backward, so that the push rod output channel is separated from the delivery catheter on the connecting piece. The rotational motion module drives the motion platform to rotate around its axis, thereby driving the end of the push rod output channel to align with the next connecting hole. Then the forward and backward motion module drives the end of the push rod output channel to move forward, so that the push rod output channel is connected to the next delivery catheter on the connecting piece to form a delivery channel for the radiation source. The above steps are repeated to implant the next delivery catheter.
[0028] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0029] 1. A shield is installed between the connector panel and the moving platform of the present invention to prevent the radioactive source from falling into the interval. The shield includes an intermediate shield and a bottom shield. The connector panel is provided with a material taking port for taking out the radioactive source supported by the intermediate shield and / or the bottom shield, so that the fallen radioactive source can be recovered more conveniently and timely.
[0030] 2. The docking nozzle can not only float in a plane parallel to the connector panel, but also float in a direction perpendicular to the connector panel, thereby ensuring that when there is a certain error in the docking displacement, the docking nozzle can still be tightly attached to the docking surface of the delivery catheter, while playing a buffering role to avoid damage to the motor, and realizing adaptive centering docking of the docking nozzle to prevent the radiation source from being embedded in the docking surface of the docking nozzle and the delivery catheter.
[0031] 3. The maximum number of radioactive sources that can be delivered at one time in the flexible tube is limited to n, and the maximum number of radioactive sources that can be delivered at one time in the puncture needle is limited to m, so as to avoid the risk of blockage caused by delivering too many radioactive sources at the same time, while at the same time being able to deliver as many radioactive sources as possible at the same time to improve the efficiency of radioactive source implantation.

When the docking joint 24029 is fixed on the docking plate 2407, the entrance of the docking joint 24029 will protrude from the back of the docking plate 2407, so as to better dock with the docking mouth 24026 of the magazine seat 24013, and also prevent the docking mouth 24026 of the sterile magazine seat 24013 from contacting the sterile docking plate 2407.
[0079] The user starts the device, and the particle implanter starts to operate. The motor 24019 controls the internal module cabin 24010 of the machine to rotate so that the core pulling mechanism 24011 moves to the corresponding position of the delivery catheter 24018. The core pulling mechanism 24011 starts to work and moves forward to pull out the needle core inside the delivery catheter 24018. The needle core will be sent to the needle core storage wheel 24015 on the rear side of the core pulling mechanism 24011 and automatically wind up inside it under its own elasticity, and drive the needle core storage wheel 24015 to rotate synchronously. After being completely pulled out of the delivery catheter 24018, the core pulling mechanism 24011 retreats backward, wherein the core pulling mechanism 24011 is controlled to move forward and backward by a linear motion mechanism, and the linear motion mechanism is one or a combination of a screw nut mechanism, an electric push rod, and a gear rack mechanism. The motor 24019 controls the module compartment 24010 to rotate so that the core pulling mechanism 24011 is docked with the recovery tube 24017. Then the core pulling mechanism 24011 works to completely spit out the internally wound needle core and deliver it to the recovery tube 24017. Then the motor 24019 drives the module compartment 24010 to rotate so that the clip seat 24013 is aligned with the position of the delivery catheter 24019 from which the needle core has just been pulled out, and the clip seat 24013 is pushed forward to dock with the docking joint 24029 of the delivery catheter 24018, wherein the clip seat 24013 is controlled to move back and forth by a linear motion mechanism, and the linear motion mechanism is one or a combination of a screw nut mechanism, an electric push rod, and a gear rack mechanism, and then the push rod driving mechanism 24012 pushes out the particle push rod in the particle push rod storage wheel 24020, and the particle push rod moves to the clip seat 24013 through the flexible pipe 24016 and pushes out the particles in the clip 24014 into the docking mouth 24026 at the front end of the clip seat 24013 in turn, and at the same time, a driven measurement device for compacting the particle push rod is provided inside the clip seat 24013 Wheel, when the particle push rod moves, the measuring wheel 24024 is driven to rotate by friction, and the rotation angle of the measuring wheel 24024 is measured by the encoder 24025, and the movement displacement of the particle push rod can be converted by the encoder 24025. Since an encoder module is also provided in the push rod driving mechanism 24012, it is possible to determine whether the measuring wheel 24024 is slipping by the readings of the two encoders, thereby ensuring the reliability of the measurement results by the dual measuring units, and reciprocatingly pushing out multiple particles until a specified number is reached, and then the push rod driving mechanism 24012 drives the particle push rod to push the particles through the delivery catheter 24018 to the front end of the puncture needle. In this process, if the resistance encountered by the particle push rod during movement increases, its reaction force will be transmitted to the force sensor 24023 connected to the flexible pipe 24016 and fed back.In other embodiments, reflective scale bars 24045 can be evenly spaced on the outer surface of the particle push rod, and a photoelectric sensor can be set in the magazine seat 24013 or the push rod drive mechanism 24012. When the particle push rod and the photoelectric sensor are relatively displaced, a pulse signal will be generated synchronously. The pulse signal is sampled to measure the actual displacement of the particle push rod. This solution can avoid slipping of the measuring wheel and the particle push rod, thereby affecting the measurement accuracy and reliability of the encoder.
[0080] In other embodiments, a stop step may be added to the end of the particle push rod, and the position of the stop step is set to meet the following principle: when the front end of the particle push rod extends along the delivery catheter into the puncture needle and protrudes from the front end of the puncture needle for more than a certain length (preferably, the length is shorter than 5mm), the stop step is stuck on the second stop step in the push rod drive mechanism, thereby achieving mechanical limit, preventing the particle push rod from piercing into human tissue and causing damage, and improving overall safety. Preferably, the stop step is the end face of the stop tube sleeved on the end of the particle push rod, and the second stop step is set on the inlet end face of the particle push rod in the push rod drive mechanism.
[0081] In other embodiments, a connection portion may be provided on the particle push rod storage wheel 24020, and the connection portion is used to connect and fix with the end or middle of the particle push rod, and the position of the connection portion is set to meet the following principles: when the front end of the particle push rod extends along the delivery catheter into the puncture needle and protrudes from the front end of the puncture needle for more than a certain length (preferably, the length is shorter than 5mm), the particle push rod is pulled by the connection portion, so that it cannot continue to move forward, thereby achieving mechanical limitation, avoiding the particle push rod from piercing into human tissue and causing damage, and improving overall safety. The connection portion is connected and fixed with the end or middle of the particle push rod in the form of threaded connection, bonding, welding, snap connection, etc.
[0082] like Fig.23As shown, when the multi-particle 101505 reaches the position of the puncture needle 101504 of the delivery catheter, the push rod driving mechanism 24012 will push a particle into the human body, and then the needle pulling push rod 24043 will be pushed forward until it contacts the outer tube assembly 101509. At this time, the contact signal is sensed by the contact sensor 24027. The contact sensor is one or a combination of a force sensor, a mechanical switch, an inductive switch, and a photoelectric switch. Then the needle pulling push rod 24043 continues to push the outer tube assembly 101509 forward, and the other end of the outer tube assembly 101509 will press against the surface of the biological tissue or the human body template 101511 (it can also be a prostate stent or other device). When the outer tube assembly 101509 is pushed forward, the inner tube assembly 101508 will move relatively and pull out the puncture needle 101504 connected to the front end out of the human body. Then the push rod driving mechanism 24012 continues to push out the next particle 101505, and works reciprocatingly until multiple particle implants are completed.
[0083] The docking nozzle 24026 is arranged on the magazine seat 24013 through a floating connection structure. When the docking nozzle 24026 is not completely aligned with the docking plate 2407, the docking nozzle 24026 can move and complete the docking through the guiding effect of the guide structure.

The force measuring direction of the force sensor is parallel to the axial direction of the quick-connect pipe. The delivery force of the push rod can be detected by the force sensor. A damping section for preventing the radiation source from returning to the push rod driving mechanism is provided in the quick-connect pipe. The damping section is a soft rubber tube, or the damping section adopts a pipe with frosted interior, or the damping section adopts a pipe with elastic damping blocks or elastic damping rings interior.
[0091] Specific: such as Figure 24-Figure 29 As shown, the module cabin assembly includes: a module cabin 24010, a push rod driving mechanism 24012, and a docking nozzle module 24050. The push rod driving mechanism 24012 and the docking nozzle module 24050 are installed at corresponding positions in the module cabin 24010. The docking nozzle module 24050 is vertically installed on the front end surface of the module cabin 24010. The push rod driving mechanism 24012 is parallel to or inclined at a certain angle to the front end surface of the module cabin 24010. The push rod driving mechanism 24012 is installed with a radiation source clip. The push rod driving mechanism 24012 is connected to the docking nozzle module 24050 through a flexible pipe 24016. 050 connection, the docking nozzle module 24050 is installed in the module cabin 24010 through the forward and backward movement module 24052 to realize the forward and backward movement of the docking nozzle module 24050 and docking with different external delivery catheters on the external connecting parts. After the docking is completed, the push rod driving mechanism 24012 drives the flexible push rod to pass through the radiation source clip, thereby ejecting the radiation source in the radiation source clip, and then pushes the radiation source at the front end of the flexible push rod, and pushes the radiation source into the external delivery catheter through the docking nozzle module 24050, and is implanted into the target position through the puncture needle connected to the end of the external delivery catheter.
[0092] The forward and backward motion module 24052 is one or a combination of a screw-nut mechanism, an electric push rod, and a gear rack mechanism.
[0093] The docking nozzle module 24050 includes a docking nozzle 24026 and a floating connection structure. The docking nozzle 24026 is installed on the front-rear movement module 24052 through the floating connection structure. The floating connection structure includes a plane floating structure and a front-rear floating structure.

[0094] like Fig.25 As shown: the plane floating structure adopts two rotating joint modules, the floating connection structure includes a first connecting rod 2405002 and a second connecting rod 2405003, a connecting rod seat 2405004 (i.e., a moving seat) is installed on the front and rear movement module 24052, the second connecting rod 2405003 is rotatably set on the connecting rod seat 2405004 through the first rotating shaft 2405005, and the rotation reset of the second connecting rod 2405003 is realized by the third elastic element, the first connecting rod 2405002 is rotatably set on the second connecting rod 2405003 through the second rotating shaft 2405006, and the rotation reset of the second connecting rod 2405003 is realized by the third elastic element. Four elastic elements realize the rotational reset of the first connecting rod 2405002, the docking nozzle 24026 is connected to the first connecting rod 2405002 through the connecting seat 2402601, the third elastic element and the fourth elastic element can respectively adopt a torsion spring structure, and the two torsion springs are respectively installed on the first rotating shaft 2405005 and the second rotating shaft 2405006; or the third elastic element and the fourth elastic element are the same elastic plate 2405013, the elastic plate 2405013 has a special shape, one end of which is fixed on the connecting rod seat 2405004, and the other end is fixed on the first connecting rod 2405002. When the front-to-back motion module 24052 moves forward for docking, when the docking nozzle 24026 is not aligned with the external delivery tube on the external connecting piece, the docking nozzle 24026 conflicts with the conical surface of the external delivery tube, and the first connecting rod 2405002 and the second connecting rod 2405003 can rotate in a small range, thereby realizing adaptive centering docking; when the front-to-back motion module 24052 moves backward to reset, under the action of the third elastic element and the fourth elastic element, the first connecting rod 2405002 and the second connecting rod 2405003 automatically reset to prepare for the next docking.
[0095] The front and rear floating structures are arranged between the docking nozzle and the connecting seat, and the front and rear floating structures allow the docking nozzle to float in a direction perpendicular to the connecting piece panel.
[0096] like Fig.26The front and rear floating structures include a limiting sleeve 2402602 slidably arranged in the connecting seat 2402601, and the limiting sleeve 2402602 is also a limiting member. The connecting seat 2402601 is provided with a limiting structure to prevent the limiting sleeve 2402602 from completely coming out. The limiting structure adopts a limiting rod 2402603, and a limiting groove is arranged on the side of the limiting sleeve 2402602. One end of the limiting rod 2402603 is fixed in the connecting seat 2402601, and the other end of the limiting rod 2402603 is inserted in the limiting groove of the limiting sleeve 2402602, so that the limiting sleeve 2402602 slides within a certain range, but does not Will slide out completely, the docking nozzle 24026 is sleeved in the limiting sleeve 2402602, and the outer sleeve of the docking nozzle 24026 is fixed on the flexible pipe 24016, and the fixing method can be bonding. The front end of the docking nozzle 24026 extends out of the limiting sleeve 2402602, and the end of the docking nozzle 24026 extending out of the limiting sleeve 2402602 is provided with a conical head 2402604 for convenient docking, and the front end of the limiting sleeve 2402602 is provided with a conical head, and the conical head 2402604 and the conical head are respectively adapted to dock with the docking surface of the conveying catheter, so that the coaxiality of the docking can be guaranteed during docking, and the continuity of the channel can be guaranteed. Fig. 27The butt joint surface of the tail of the delivery catheter includes a first conical surface 2402901 and a second conical surface 2402902, and a transitional cylindrical surface 2402903 is provided between the first conical surface 2402901 and the second conical surface 2402902, and the cylindrical surface 2402903 can be replaced by a small conical surface, and the front end of the conical head 2402604 is a conical surface adapted to the second conical surface 2402902, and the conical head at the front end of the limiting sleeve 2402602 is adapted to the first conical surface 2402901, and the conical head 2402604 is on the side close to the conical head An annular groove 240260401 is provided. When the front end of the conical head 2402604 is inserted into the second conical surface 2402902, the annular groove 240260401 allows a certain gap between the side of the conical head 2402604 and the cylindrical surface 2402903 (or small conical surface) of the docking joint, so that the conical head 2402604 can be pulled out of the cylindrical surface 2402903 (or small conical surface) to avoid being stuck. The rear end of the docking nozzle 24026 is provided with a convex ring 2402605 that abuts against the rear end of the limit sleeve 2402602. The connecting seat 2402601 A tightening sleeve 2402606 is threadedly connected, and a second elastic element 2402607 is provided between the tightening sleeve 2402606 and the docking nozzle 24026. The two ends of the second elastic element 2402607 are respectively against the tightening sleeve 2402606 and the docking nozzle 24026. When the docking nozzle 24026 and the limiting sleeve 2402602 are affected by the resistance of the delivery catheter during the docking process, the docking nozzle 24026 and the limiting sleeve 2402602 can compress the second elastic element 2402607 and slide backward. When 2602 is out of contact with the delivery tube, the elasticity of the second elastic element 2402607 itself can drive the docking nozzle 24026 and the limiting sleeve 2402602 to slide forward and reset. The second elastic element 2402607 is an elastic tube or a spring. When the docking nozzle 24026 is docked with the external delivery tube on the external connecting part, the docking nozzle 24026 has a fault-tolerant displacement, thereby ensuring that when there is a certain error in the docking displacement, the docking nozzle 24026 can still be close to the docking surface of the delivery tube, and at the same time play a buffering role to avoid damage to the motor.
[0097] The docking nozzle 24026, the flexible pipe 24016, the second elastic element 2402607 and the tightening sleeve 2402606 can be assembled as a component, the docking nozzle 24026 is inserted from the rear end of the connecting seat 2402601, and then the tightening sleeve 2402606 is tightened to ensure that the convex ring 2402605 of the docking nozzle 24026 is in conflict with the rear end of the limiting sleeve 2402602, and the two ends of the second elastic element 2402607 are respectively in conflict with the tightening sleeve 2402606 and the docking nozzle 24026 until the tightening sleeve 2402606 is completely tightened, and the docking nozzle 24026 and the limiting sleeve 2402602 move to the frontmost position.
[0098] like Figure 27 to Figure 29 The end of the flexible pipe 24016 close to the push rod driving mechanism 24012 is fixedly connected with a quick-connect pipe 2401601, and a quick-connect seat 2401602 is provided on one side of the push rod driving mechanism 24012. The quick-connect pipe 2401601 can be quickly installed on the quick-connect seat 2401602 and is connected to the internal channel of the push rod driving mechanism 24012. The quick-installation structure is at least one of a threaded connection structure, a snap connection structure, and a lock connection structure. The quick-connect seat 2401602 is installed on the push rod driving mechanism 24012 or the module cabin 24010 through a force sensor 2401603. The quick-connect seat 2401602 is fixedly connected to the force measuring end of the force sensor 2401603. The force sensor 2401603 is installed on the push rod driving mechanism 24012 or the module cabin 24010 through a connecting plate 2401604. When the flexible push rod is in the process of pushing the radiation source When encountering resistance, the flexible push rod will drive the flexible pipe 24016 to move forward together. The delivery force of the flexible push rod can be detected by the force sensor 2401603. A damping section is provided in the quick-connect pipe 2401601 to prevent the radioactive source from returning to the push rod driving mechanism. The damping section is a soft rubber tube 2401605. When the radioactive source clip is installed in the push rod driving mechanism 24012, the soft rubber tube 2401605 can be made of a material with a large friction coefficient, such as silicone, latex, rubber, etc. At this time, when the radioactive source is pushed out of the radioactive source clip by the flexible push rod and passes through the soft rubber tube 2401605, the flexible push rod retreats. At this time, if the pipeline is tilted downward, when the radioactive source retreats along the pipeline under the action of gravity, it will be stuck in the soft rubber tube 2401605 due to the large friction coefficient of the soft rubber tube 2401605, thereby preventing the radioactive source from retreating into the radioactive source clip and causing abnormal discharge of the radioactive source clip.
[0099] Alternatively, the damping section may be replaced by a pipe with frosted interior, or a pipe with elastic damping blocks or elastic damping rings interior.
[0100] In addition, the soft rubber tube 2401605 is elastic, and the inner diameter of the soft rubber tube 2401605 is smaller than the outer diameter of the flexible push rod. The soft rubber tube 2401605 is an elastic tube. When the flexible push rod is delivered and retracts into the push rod driving mechanism 24012, the soft rubber tube 2401605 can scrape off the blood stains attached to the outer surface of the flexible push rod to achieve cleaning.
[0101] Example 3
[0102] The parts of this embodiment that are identical in structure to those of the second embodiment are not described in detail. The differences are as follows: a connection seat for mounting a docking nozzle is provided in the motion platform, the connection seat is mounted on the motion seat via a floating connection structure, the front-rear motion module drives the motion seat to move forward and backward, the floating connection structure includes a plane floating structure and a front-rear floating structure, the plane floating structure allows the docking nozzle to float in a plane parallel to the connector panel, the motion seat is mounted on the front-rear motion module via a front-rear floating structure, and the front-rear floating structure allows the docking nozzle to float in a direction perpendicular to the connector panel;
[0103] like Figures 30-33 As shown, a rotating cover 240260101 is provided on the connecting seat 2402601, one side of the rotating cover 240260101 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 2402601, the other side of the rotating cover 240260101 is locked on the connecting seat 2402601 by a bolt 240260102, the docking nozzle 24026 is clamped between the rotating cover 240260101 and the connecting seat 2402601, and a card slot is provided on the connecting seat 2402601. The rear convex ring 2402605 of the docking nozzle 24026 is stuck in the slot, fixing the docking nozzle 24026 between the connecting seat 2402601 and the rotating cover 240260101 (the connecting seat 2402601 and the rotating cover 240260101 together constitute a limiting member). The docking nozzle 24026 can be installed from the side, instead of being inserted and installed from the rear of the limiting sleeve 2402602 as in Example 2, to prevent contamination of the front end of the docking nozzle 24026.
[0104] The front end of the connecting seat 2402601 and the rotating cover 240260101 are combined to form a conical head. The conical head 2402604 and the conical head are respectively adapted to be connected with the docking surface of the delivery catheter. When docking, the coaxiality of the docking can be ensured to ensure the continuity of the channel. The docking surface at the tail of the delivery catheter includes a first conical surface 2402901 and a second conical surface 2402902 (such as Fig. 27), and a transition cylindrical surface 2402903 is provided between the first conical surface 2402901 and the second conical surface 2402902, the cylindrical surface 2402903 can be replaced by a small conical surface, the front end of the conical head 2402604 is a conical surface adapted to the second conical surface 2402902, the connecting seat 2402601 and the front end of the rotating cover 240260101 are combined to form a conical head adapted to the first conical surface 2402901, and the conical head 24 02604 is provided with an annular groove 240260401 on the side close to the conical head. When the front end of the conical head 2402604 is inserted into the second conical surface 2402902, the annular groove 240260401 allows a certain gap between the side of the conical head 2402604 and the cylindrical surface 2402903 (or small conical surface) of the docking joint, so that the conical head 2402604 can be pulled out from the cylindrical surface 2402903 (or small conical surface) to avoid getting stuck.
[0105] The butt nozzle 24026 is mounted on the connecting rod seat 2405004 through a plane floating structure, wherein the plane floating structure can refer to the specific structure in Example 2, and the front and rear floating structure includes a guide rail structure 240260103, and the connecting rod seat 2405004 is mounted on the front and rear movement seat of the front and rear movement module 24052 through the guide rail structure 240260103, and the front and rear movement seat is provided with a guide rod 240260104, and the connecting rod seat 2405004 is slidably arranged on the guide rod 240 260104, and the guide rod 240260104 is covered with a fifth spring 240260105. Through the elasticity of the fifth spring 240260105 itself, when the docking nozzle 24026 is docked with the conveying catheter, the docking nozzle 24026 has a fault-tolerant displacement. Therefore, when there is a certain error in the docking displacement, it is ensured that the docking nozzle 24026 can still be tightly attached to the docking surface of the conveying catheter, and at the same time play a buffering role to avoid damage to the motor of the forward and backward movement module 24052. The front and rear floating structures are provided with a photoelectric switch 240260106 for detecting the position of the connecting rod seat 2405004 relative to the front and rear moving seats. When the docking nozzle 24026 is docked in place during the docking process, the connecting rod seat 2405004 is subjected to a top thrust and moves backward relative to the front and rear moving seats. The detection light shielding sheet on the side of the connecting rod seat 2405004 is inserted into the photoelectric switch 240260106, and the photoelectric switch 240260106 detects whether the docking nozzle 24026 is docked in place. If the delivery catheter is not installed in the connection hole aligned with the docking nozzle 24026 at this time (for example, the user forgets or sets it incorrectly), the docking nozzle 24026 will not be subjected to a top thrust during the docking process, and the photoelectric switch 240260106 will not be triggered. At this time, the system reports an error, which can ensure the correct conduct of the operation.
[0106] A particle recovery container 24026017 is also provided. After the operation, if there is still a radioactive source in the radioactive source clip on the push rod driving mechanism 24012, the docking nozzle 24026 is removed from the connecting seat 2402601 and then inserted into the particle recovery container 24026017. The push rod of the push rod driving mechanism 24012 pushes all the remaining radioactive sources in the radioactive source clip into the particle recovery container 24026017, and then removes the radioactive source information in the chip built into the radioactive source clip, and burns the radioactive source information into the chip built into the particle recovery container 24026017 to ensure that the information of the radioactive source is consistent with the chip in the radioactive source storage container.
[0107] Example 4
[0108] A method for using a radioactive source implantation system capable of preventing radioactive source impaction comprises the following steps:
[0109] (1) The rotary motion module drives the motion platform to rotate around its axis, thereby driving the end of the push rod output channel to align with one of the connection holes, and then the forward and backward motion module drives the end of the push rod output channel to move forward and backward, so that the push rod output channel is connected to a delivery catheter on the connecting piece to form a delivery channel for the radiation source;
[0110] (2) The push rod driving mechanism drives the push rod to move forward, and when passing through the radioactive source magazine, a radioactive source is pushed into the flexible pipe.
