[0038] Step 1: Use a three-dimensional mobile robotic arm to adjust the position and posture of the magnetic field generator assembly to drive and control the direction of the catheter. Use a manipulator to drive the catheter to the set position and posture and insert it into the patient's body. Position it to the target area through the intravenous route, ensuring that the magnetic field generator assembly is above the target area. The catheter position is monitored in real time to ensure that the magnetic pacing catheter accurately reaches the target area.

[0039] Step 2: The guidewire is gradually advanced to the target area along the delivery path inside the catheter by the manipulator. When the output end of the guidewire passes through the interior of the catheter and reaches the target position, the manipulator is controlled to rotate the guidewire to drive the electrode at the output end of the guidewire into the target area.

[0040] Step 3: When the helical tip of the wire enters the target area, the magnetic field generator assembly continues to adjust the magnetic field strength and direction to control the positioning of the wire, ensuring that the output end of the wire is perpendicular to the surface of the target area. At this time, the feedback electrical signal collected in real time is used to determine whether the implant depth is appropriate and make corresponding adjustments;

[0041] Step 4: After the pacemaker lead is implanted, the catheter is removed from the body, leaving the lead and pacemaker in the patient's body. Feedback signals are continuously monitored to ensure the lead is in good condition. Finally, confirmation is made as to whether the implant position has reached the set target.

[0042] Step 5: After the operation, real-time electrophysiological monitoring is used to confirm that the lead is functioning properly, ensuring that the implantation process is correct and that the patient's heart pacing function is effectively improved.

[0043] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0044] Compared with traditional manual operation, the indirectly controllable magnetically guided pacing surgical robot system of the present invention fixes the magnetic field control platform on the end of a three-dimensional mobile robotic arm, and uses the three-dimensional mobile robotic arm to adjust the position and posture of the magnetic field control platform; the control magnetic field generated by the magnetic field control platform can stimulate the movement of the permanent magnet at the end of the magnetic pacing catheter, and combined with the delivery manipulator, it can achieve precise position and posture control of the catheter in space; because the magnetic field has a strong ability to penetrate human tissue, the control of the magnetic catheter is a non-contact operation, which greatly reduces the potential risk of affecting the vitality of biological life; by changing the delivery manipulator, the delivery of the magnetic catheter and pacemaker wire can be accurately driven, and the number of rotations of the wire spiral head can be accurately controlled; therefore, the above-mentioned robotic system can achieve precise control of the position of the left bundle branch pacing wire, and can be strictly perpendicular to the pacing target area, so as to achieve the purpose of accurate and safe implementation of the pacemaker wire implantation, which can reduce the number of trial and error times of the doctor's pacemaker wire implantation, greatly reduce the risks of wire perforation, wire failure to reach the bundle branch area, and septal artery damage in traditional left bundle branch pacing surgery, and reduce patient trauma. In addition, the surgeon does not need to stay in the operating room during the entire pacemaker lead implantation process, reducing the risk of X-ray-related injuries and improving surgical efficiency and quality.

[0045] The magnetically guided pacing surgical robot of the present invention achieves precise control of the catheter and pacing wire by combining a three-dimensional mobile robotic arm and precise magnetic field control technology. Compared with traditional surgical methods, it can effectively reduce the jitter and instability during the doctor's operation, and reduce the risks during catheter delivery, such as wire perforation and inaccurate positioning. In addition, the non-contact operation method controlled by the magnetic field reduces trauma to the patient and improves surgical accuracy and safety. At the same time, the use of an automated control system and a non-radiative surgical operation method reduces the doctor's radiation exposure risk, reduces the cognitive burden, and significantly improves surgical efficiency. The overall surgical process is safer and more efficient, which helps to improve the therapeutic effect of cardiac pacing surgery. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The manipulator comprises five motors, two sets of guide pulleys, a set of transmission gears, and a fixed support. Two motors cooperate with a clamping mechanism to control the clamping and release of the lead and catheter. After clamping, two motors control the rotation of the two sets of guide pulleys to control the advancement of the lead and catheter. One motor controls the rotation of the helical pacemaker lead to complete implantation of the lead's helical tip into the cardiac pacing area.

[0055] The magnetic pacemaker catheter consists of a catheter and a head-end magnetic pole, which is used to provide a delivery path for the spiral electrode pacemaker lead.

[0064] The guide sheath / wire delivery operator controls the clamping and releasing of the guide sheath and the wire through a guide pulley and a clamping mechanism driven by a motor, and realizes the forward and backward movement of the guide sheath and the wire.

[0065] The guide sheath / wire delivery manipulator includes at least five motors, two of which are used to clamp and release the wire and the guide sheath, and the other three motors are used to control the advancement, rotation and pushing of the guide sheath and the wire.

[0066] The spiral head pacemaker wire is driven by the motor of the guide sheath delivery operator to perform forward and rotational movements to complete the precise implantation of the wire spiral head.

[0067] The guide sheath body of the magnetic pacing guide sheath is coated with an insulating layer to ensure electrical safety during operation.

[0081] The catheter is a magnetically driven guide sheath;

[0082] The guide wire is located in the catheter 3;

[0083] The manipulator 4 is used to deliver and rotate the catheter 3 with the guide wire;

[0084] The magnetic field generator assembly 2 is used to change the direction of the catheter 3 during the delivery process of the catheter 3 by the manipulator 4, thereby changing the direction of the guidewire;

[0085] The magnetic field generator assembly 2 is connected to the end of the three-dimensional mobile robotic arm 1. The three-dimensional mobile robotic arm 1 can drive the magnetic field generator assembly 2 to move with six degrees of freedom. That is, the three-dimensional mobile robotic arm 1 is used to adjust the position and posture of the magnetic field generator assembly 2, so that the magnetic field generator assembly 2 can accurately control the distribution and direction of the magnetic field, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the catheter 3 during the operation.

[0086] like Figure 2 As shown, the magnetic field generator assembly 2 includes a flange 21, a motor 22, a bracket 23, a transmission mechanism 24 and a magnetic field generator body 25;

[0093] In this embodiment, the magnetic field generator body 25 is a ring-shaped, axially magnetized permanent magnet that generates a strong magnetic field and applies torque to the magnetic poles at the end of the catheter 3, driving the rotation and movement of the catheter 3. The design of this magnetic field generator ensures its stability and precision in a medical environment.

[0095] The magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator body 25 of the magnetic field generator assembly 2 controls the direction of the magnetic pole 31 at the end of the catheter, thereby achieving precise control and positioning of the catheter.

[0096] The output end of the wire has a spiral head electrode, and the input end of the wire has an electrode;

[0109] Magnetic fields have remarkable penetration capabilities through human tissue and operate over long distances. By adjusting the intensity and direction of the magnetic field, they can flexibly and precisely drive the movement of tiny objects without requiring direct contact with the organism, significantly reducing potential risks to biological vitality. They have found widespread application in medicine and biology. In recent years, experimental and clinical studies, such as magnetically controlled endoscopic capsules, magnetically controlled targeted drug delivery, and minimally invasive surgery using magnetically controlled guidewires, have fully demonstrated the enormous potential of magnetic actuation technology. In the area of action of magnetic materials such as permanent magnets, a nonuniform magnetic gradient field can be generated. In this nonuniform magnetic field, the magnetic field gradient exerts a magnetic force on the magnetic material, causing it to move toward areas of higher magnetic flux density, thereby enabling precise directional control of the magnetic catheter. Combined with a manipulator, the catheter and guidewire can be delivered and the guidewire can be rotated for implantation in the cardiac pacing area, thus meeting the demand for precise control of pacemaker therapy devices.

[0110] In addition, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an operation control method of the magnetically driven pacing surgical robot, which applies the magnetically driven pacing surgical robot to cardiac pacemaker treatment, comprising the following steps:

[0111] Specific implementation steps:

[0112] Step 1: During the operation, the doctor uses the three-dimensional mobile robotic arm 1 to adjust the position and posture of the magnetic field generator assembly 2 to drive and control the direction of the catheter 3. The manipulator 4 drives the catheter 3 to the appropriate position and posture and inserts it into the patient's body. The catheter is positioned to the target area (cardiac pacing area) via the intravenous route, ensuring that the magnetic field generator assembly 2 is above the target area. The doctor uses imaging methods (such as X-rays or real-time electrophysiological monitoring) to observe the position of the catheter 3 in real time to ensure that the magnetic pacing catheter accurately reaches the target area.

[0113] Step 2: The guidewire is gradually advanced to the target area along the delivery path inside the catheter 3 by the manipulator 4. When the lead output end passes through the catheter 3 and reaches the target position, the manipulator 4 is controlled to rotate the guidewire to drive the motor at the lead output end into the pacing area of the heart.

[0114] Step 3: When the helical tip of the lead enters the target area, the magnetic field generator assembly 2 continues to adjust the magnetic field strength and direction to precisely control the positioning of the lead, ensuring that the output end of the lead is strictly perpendicular to the surface of the cardiac pacing area. At this time, the doctor determines whether the implant depth is appropriate based on the real-time feedback electrical signals (such as electrocardiogram signals) collected and makes corresponding adjustments.

[0115] Step 4: After the pacemaker lead is implanted, the doctor removes the catheter from the body, leaving the lead and pacemaker inside the patient. The doctor continues to monitor the feedback signal to ensure the lead is in good condition and finally confirms whether the implant position has reached the desired target.

[0116] Step 5. After the operation, the doctor confirms that the wire is working properly through real-time electrophysiological monitoring to ensure that the implantation process is correct and the patient's heart pacing function is effectively improved.

[0117] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications to the embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. As long as such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such changes and modifications.

10. A method for performing surgery using a pacing surgical robot based on a retractable, rotating and magnetically driven guide sheath, characterized in that The steps of the method include: Step 1: Use a three-dimensional mobile robotic arm to adjust the position and posture of the magnetic field generator assembly to drive and control the direction of the catheter. Use a manipulator to drive the catheter to the set position and posture and insert it into the patient's body. Position it to the target area through the intravenous route, ensuring that the magnetic field generator assembly is above the target area. The catheter position is monitored in real time to ensure that the magnetic pacing catheter accurately reaches the target area. Step 2: The guidewire is gradually advanced to the target area along the delivery path inside the catheter by the manipulator. When the output end of the guidewire passes through the interior of the catheter and reaches the target position, the manipulator is controlled to rotate the guidewire to drive the electrode at the output end of the guidewire into the target area. Step 3: When the helical tip of the wire enters the target area, the magnetic field generator assembly continues to adjust the magnetic field strength and direction to control the positioning of the wire, ensuring that the output end of the wire is perpendicular to the surface of the target area. At this time, the feedback electrical signal collected in real time is used to determine whether the implant depth is appropriate and make corresponding adjustments; Step 4: After the pacemaker lead is implanted, the catheter is removed from the body, leaving the lead and pacemaker in the patient's body. Feedback signals are continuously monitored to ensure the lead is in good condition. Finally, confirmation is made as to whether the implant position has reached the set target. Step 5: After the operation, real-time electrophysiological monitoring is used to confirm that the lead is functioning properly, ensuring that the implantation process is correct and that the patient's heart pacing function is effectively improved.
