[0028] The inputs of the primary touch screen module 16, the secondary touch screen module 8 and the knob assembly are converted into corresponding digital signals by the signal processing circuit on the printed circuit board 15, and after being processed by the single-chip microcomputer on the printed circuit board 15, they communicate remotely with the interventional surgical robot through the wireless module to control the catheter and / or guidewire of the interventional surgical robot to perform delivery, retraction or twisting operations.

[0029] It also includes: A first function button 5 provided between the front-end assembly and the primary touch screen module 16; and A second function button 4 is provided between the primary touch screen module 16 and the secondary touch screen module 8; The first function button 5 and the second function button 4 are used for customizing operation functions.

[0030] The operating functions of the first function key 5 and the second function key 4 depend on the program burned in the printed circuit board 15 . The user can customize the operating functions of the first function key 5 and the second function key 4 by developing and modifying the program burned in the printed circuit board 15 .

[0031] Among them, the customized operation functions include: catheter delivery, catheter retraction, guidewire delivery, guidewire retraction, guidewire clockwise rotation, guidewire counterclockwise rotation, emergency stop, speed up guidewire rotation, slow down guidewire rotation, and device sensitivity setting.

[0032] Among them, a first-level vibration feedback motor 91 and a second-level vibration feedback motor 92 are arranged inside the shell 2. The first-level vibration feedback motor 91 is located below the first-level touch display module 16, and the second-level vibration feedback motor 92 is located below the second-level touch display module 8. Vibration feedback is generated according to the sliding amplitude and / or frequency, which is used to simulate the tactile and force feedback of the doctor manually delivering the guide wire or catheter in traditional interventional surgery, helping the doctor to perceive the progress of the operation.

[0051] The piston core rod of the liquid feeding module 19 simulates the piston core rod part of the syringe. When the doctor operates remotely, the action of pushing or pulling the push rod with the fingers is mapped accordingly to the injection and extraction actions of the syringe of the interventional surgery robot.

[0052] The printed circuit board 15 can be divided into a first printed circuit board 151 and a second printed circuit board 152 , which are respectively arranged near the front end and the rear end of the interventional surgical robot remote control device, which can facilitate spatial layout.

[0053] The second printed circuit board 152 communicates with the liquid feeding module 19 so as to allow the doctor to remotely control the injection speed and dosage of the contrast agent.
