Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a percutaneous nephrostomy device, a robot system and a method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Percutaneous nephrostomy is a surgical procedure that establishes a channel from the kidney to the outside of the body through the skin, which is mainly used to relieve urinary obstruction, kidney stone or create conditions for subsequent treatment. The most commonly used method is ultrasound-guided renal pelvis puncture. Specifically, under the guidance of ultrasound, the doctor positions and operates the puncture needle according to the dynamic image of the kidney and the surrounding tissue to complete the renal pelvis puncture.

[0003] In the related art, the doctor determines whether the puncture needle has successfully entered the renal pelvis by combining the ultrasound image at the renal pelvis, that is, positioning the puncture end of the puncture needle. In this way, the positioning accuracy of the puncture end of the puncture needle is affected by the clarity of the ultrasound image at the renal pelvis, and the clarity of the ultrasound image at the renal pelvis is affected by the degree of hydronephrosis. The heavier the degree of hydronephrosis, the higher the clarity of the ultrasound image at the renal pelvis, and the higher the positioning accuracy of the puncture end of the puncture needle. The lighter the degree of hydronephrosis, the lower the clarity of the ultrasound image at the renal pelvis, and the lower the positioning accuracy of the puncture end of the puncture needle.

[0004] When the patient's bladder or ureter is damaged, the renal pelvis has no hydronephrosis, and the renal collecting system is closely attached and not separated, resulting in low imaging clarity of the ultrasound image at the renal pelvis and low positioning accuracy of the puncture end of the puncture needle. It is difficult to determine the puncture end in time, making the puncture difficult, the success rate low, the risk of bleeding rising straight, and reducing the accuracy and safety of the operation. However, in order to create an operation opportunity for subsequent repair, percutaneous nephrostomy is the best transitional solution in the absence of hydronephrosis. It can be seen that the existing percutaneous nephrostomy depends on the ultrasound image at the renal pelvis to position the puncture end of the puncture needle, which cannot meet the clinical needs in the absence of hydronephrosis.

[0086] In order to make the personnel in the technical field better understand the scheme of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0087] It should be particularly pointed out that: in the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to facilitate the description of the same or similar structures and / or functions of two or more structures or components, and do not represent any special limitation on the order and / or importance.

[0088] In the present application, "and / or" is only used to describe the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can represent the existence of A alone, A and B together, and B alone. In addition, the character " / " in this paper generally represents a "or" relationship between the front and rear associated objects.

[0089] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can also refer to the internal connection between two components; it can be a mechanical connection or a communication connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0090] In this application, the "end" of the injection needle 824 is the end closest to the patient, and the "head" is the other end opposite to the "end". The "front" of the "rear side" of the injection needle 824, the "front" and "rear" of the outer sleeve 823, the "front" of the puncture base 81, and the "rear side" of the connecting plate 813 refers to the side closest to the end of the injection needle 824, and the "rear" is the direction opposite to the "front".

[0091] Please refer to Figures 1-2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the percutaneous nephrostomy device provided in the embodiments of this application; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The axial cross-sectional view of the percutaneous nephrostomy device shown.

[0092] This application first provides a percutaneous nephrostomy device 8 for percutaneous nephrostomy and contrast agent injection. In the embodiments provided in this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the percutaneous nephrostomy device 8 includes a puncture base 81 and a syringe 82, a first drive member 83, a second drive member 84, a first force sensor 85, and a second force sensor 86, all disposed on the puncture base 81. The syringe 82 includes a syringe barrel 821, a core rod 822, an outer sleeve 823, and an injection needle 824. The syringe barrel 821 is filled with contrast agent. The core rod 822 is disposed within the syringe barrel 821. The syringe barrel 821 and the outer sleeve 823 are connected. The injection needle 824 penetrates the outer sleeve 823. The portion of the injection needle 824 located inside the outer sleeve 823 has a through hole 824a, and the tip of the injection needle 824 is closed. The first drive unit 83 is connected to the injection needle 824 via the first force sensor 85, and the second drive unit 84 is connected to the core rod 822 via the second force sensor 86. The first drive unit 83 is configured to drive the injection needle 824 to move in a first direction, and the second drive unit 84 is configured to drive the core rod 822 to move in a second direction.

[0093] It is understandable that the first direction can be parallel to the axis of the injection needle 824, specifically it can be... Figure 2The first direction can be parallel to the axis of the core rod 822. The second direction can be parallel to the axis of the core rod 822. The end of the syringe barrel 821 in the injector 82 has an outlet portion 8211. The core rod 822 is a structure matched with the syringe barrel 821. The end of the core rod 822 can be provided with a plunger 829. The core rod 822 is pushed to the end of the syringe barrel 821 along the second direction. The contrast agent in the syringe barrel 821 can be pushed out through the outlet portion 8211. Since the outer sleeve 823 is in communication with the syringe barrel 821, the contrast agent can enter the outer sleeve 823 and then enter the injection needle 824 through the through hole 824a.

[0094] To achieve puncture, the first driving member 83 applies a force to the injection needle 824. This force is also the puncture force. The first force sensor 85 can measure the puncture force in real time. During puncture, the second driving member 84 applies a force to the core rod 822. This force is also the pushing force. The inside of the syringe barrel 821, the inside of the outer sleeve 823, and the end of the injection needle 824 (these spaces are collectively referred to as the inside of the injector 82) maintain a first pressure. The second force sensor 86 can measure the pushing force in real time. When the injection needle 824 successfully enters the renal pelvis, that is, at the moment of penetration, the pressure in the inside of the injector 82 will instantaneously decrease to a second pressure. Correspondingly, the puncture force and the pushing force are instantaneously reduced. At the moment of penetration, the injection needle 824 reaches the puncture end point. At this time, the pushing of the injection needle 824 can be immediately stopped, and the core rod 822 is pushed to rapidly increase the pressure in the inside of the injector 82 to a third pressure, so as to inject the contrast agent into the inside of the renal pelvis through the injection needle 824.

[0095] In use, the doctor can identify the moment of penetration according to the change of at least one of the puncture force and the pushing force. In this way, the positioning of the puncture end point of the injection needle 824 can not depend on the clarity of the ultrasound image at the renal pelvis. The positioning accuracy of the puncture end point of the injection needle 824 in the case of no hydronephrosis can be improved. The puncture difficulty can be reduced, the puncture success rate can be improved, the puncture can be stopped in time, the risk of bleeding can be reduced, the accuracy and safety of the percutaneous nephrostomy surgery can be improved, the contrast agent can be injected in time, and clear image guidance can be provided for subsequent intervention.

[0096] Of course, for the case of hydronephrosis, the percutaneous nephrostomy device provided by the embodiment of the present application can timely and accurately identify the moment of penetration according to the change of the puncture force and the pushing force, and cooperate with the clear ultrasound image at the renal pelvis. The moment of penetration can be more accurately identified. The positioning accuracy of the puncture end point of the injection needle 824 can be improved to a greater extent, so as to improve the accuracy and safety of the percutaneous nephrostomy surgery to a greater extent.

[0097] Moreover, compared with the related art in which a doctor performs puncture by manually operating a puncture needle, then installs a syringe to the puncture needle, and manually operates the syringe to inject the contrast agent, not only more depends on the operation experience of the doctor, the puncture operation is not stable, the puncture precision is low, and the operation process is complicated, the injection of the contrast agent is not timely, and the percutaneous nephrostomy surgery is inefficient. The percutaneous nephrostomy device provided in the embodiment of the application is additionally provided with the outer sleeve 823 and the injection barrel 821 in communication, and the injection needle 824 with the through hole 824a in the side wall is movably arranged in the outer sleeve 823, and the first driving member 83 and the second driving member 84 are arranged to be connected with the injection needle 824 and the core rod 822 respectively, to form a movable nested injection structure. The first driving member 83 can be used to automatically control the injection needle 824 to puncture, and the second driving member 84 can be used to automatically control the core rod 822 to inject the contrast agent in time at the moment of puncture. Therefore, the puncture operation is stable, the puncture precision is high, the operation process is simple, the injection of the contrast agent is timely, and the efficiency of the percutaneous nephrostomy surgery is greatly improved.

[0098] Please refer to Figures 3-4 , Figure 3 for Figure 2 partial enlarged view, Figure 4 for Figure 1 structure diagram of the position of the guide wire conveyor and the injection needle in the percutaneous nephrostomy device.

[0099] It can be understood that after the injection needle 824 punctures and the contrast agent is injected, the guide wire can be inserted into the renal pelvis through the injection needle 824, and then the injection needle 824 is withdrawn and the guide wire is left, so as to guide the subsequent insertion of the catheter.

[0100] In actual operation, the doctor can manually operate the insertion of the guide wire, or a special guide wire conveying structure can be provided for automatic conveying of the guide wire as shown in the embodiment of the application, and the specific implementation is not limited.

[0101] Please understand that Figures 1-4 in the embodiments provided in the application, the percutaneous nephrostomy device 8 further comprises a guide wire conveyor 88, and the syringe 82 further comprises a first plug 825. The guide wire conveyor 88 is located at the rear side of the injection needle 824 and is connected with the first driving member 83; the first plug 825 is at least partially arranged in the front end of the injection needle 824, the guide wire conveyor 88 is configured to clamp and convey the guide wire 89 in the first direction, and the guide wire 89 can pierce the first plug 825.

[0102] In use, the guide wire conveyor 88 can be advanced synchronously to maintain the relative position with the injection needle 824 during the process of the first driving member 83 driving the injection needle 824 to advance for puncture, and the first plug 825 can seal the leading end of the injection needle 824 so that the contrast medium does not leak out. After the injection needle 824 is punctured and the contrast medium is injected, the guide wire conveyor 88 is started to convey the guide wire 89 in the first direction forward, and the guide wire 89 can enter the injection needle 824 after puncturing the first plug 825 and enter the interior of the renal pelvis through the injection needle 824.

[0103] In this way, the first plug 825 that can be punctured by the guide wire 89 is ingeniously arranged at the leading end of the injection needle 824, and the guide wire conveyor 88 and the first driving member 83 are connected to integrate the guide wire conveying structure and the injector 82, which not only can ensure that the contrast medium in the injection needle 824 does not leak out during the puncture process, but also can make the guide wire 89 puncture the first plug 825 to smoothly enter the injection needle 824 after the puncture is completed, can greatly improve the precision and efficiency of the guide wire 89 intervention, ensure that the subsequent treatment channel is smoothly established after the puncture, and improve the overall treatment efficiency.

[0104] Please refer to Figures 5-6 , Figure 5 for Figure 1 the exploded structural schematic view of the guide wire conveyor in the percutaneous nephrostomy device shown in FIG. 8, Figure 6 for Figure 5 the longitudinal sectional view.

[0105] In the embodiment, the guide wire conveyor 88 can include a mounting frame 881, a driving wheel 882, a driven wheel 883, a sliding frame 884, a third driving member 885, and a fourth driving member 886. The mounting frame 881 can be connected with the output end of the first driving member 83, the driving wheel 882 is rotatably arranged on the mounting frame 881, the sliding frame 884 is movably arranged on the mounting frame 881, the driven wheel 883 is rotatably arranged on the sliding frame 884, the driven wheel 883 and the driving wheel 882 are oppositely arranged, the third driving member 885 and the fourth driving member 886 are both arranged on the mounting frame 881 and connected with the sliding frame 884 and the driving wheel 882 respectively. The third driving member 885 is configured to drive the sliding frame 884 to move to drive the driven wheel 883 to approach or move away from the driving wheel 882, and the wheel surfaces of the driving wheel 882 and the driven wheel 883 can clamp the guide wire 89 when the driven wheel 883 approaches the driving wheel 882. The fourth driving member 886 is configured to drive the driving wheel 882 to rotate, and the driving wheel 882 and the driven wheel 883 can convey the guide wire 89 in the first direction forward when the driving wheel 882 rotates.

[0106] Thus, by sliding the sliding frame 884 onto the mounting frame 881 and using the third driving member 885 to drive the sliding frame 884 to move, the passive wheel 883 and the active wheel 882 can be moved closer and further apart, thereby clamping and releasing the guide wire 89. When the active wheel 882 and the passive wheel 883 clamp the guide wire 89, the fourth driving member 886 drives the active wheel 882 to rotate, thereby realizing the automatic delivery of the guide wire 89. This can further improve the accuracy and efficiency of the guide wire 89 intervention. Moreover, the structure of the guide wire delivery device 88 is relatively compact, making the entire percutaneous nephrostomy device 8 relatively compact.

[0107] Furthermore, the specific manner in which the third driving component 885 drives the sliding frame 884 and the specific manner in which the fourth driving component 886 drives the drive wheel 882 are not limited.

[0108] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the wire guide conveyor 88 may further include a drive disk 887, a docking disk 888, and a fixing claw 889. The mounting frame 881 may include a base plate 8811 and a support frame 8812 disposed above the base plate 8811. The base plate 8811 may have a first sliding hole 881a extending from top to bottom, and the bottom of the support frame 8812 may have a second sliding hole 881b and a rotating hole 881c extending from top to bottom. The third drive member 885 may be an electric actuator, and the fourth drive member 886 may be a motor. The third drive member 885 and the fourth drive member 886 may be disposed below the base plate 8811. The fixing claw 889 may be connected to the output end of the third drive member 885, and the drive disk 887 may be connected to the rotating shaft of the fourth drive member 886. The bottom of the sliding frame 884 can be provided with a first sliding part 8841. The driving wheel 882 and the sliding frame 884 can be located in the support frame 8812. The first sliding part 8841 can pass downward through the second sliding hole 881b and the first sliding hole 881a in sequence and then be locked in the fixed claw 889. In this way, the third driving member 885 can drive the sliding frame 884 to slide along the first sliding hole 881a and the second sliding hole 881b through the fixed claw 889, so as to drive the driven wheel 883 to move closer to or away from the driving wheel 882. The shaft of the driving wheel 882 can pass downward through the rotating hole 881c and then be connected to the docking plate 888. The docking plate 888 can pass through the first sliding hole 881a and then be docked with the driving plate 887 by means such as a snap-fit. The fourth driving member 886 can drive the docking plate 888 to rotate through the driving plate 887, so as to drive the driving wheel 882 to rotate.

[0109] Thus, the electric actuator drives the clamping guide wire 89, and the rotary motor drives the delivery of the guide wire 89 through the docking plate 888, which makes the delivery accuracy and efficiency of the guide wire 89 higher, the delivery process more stable, and more conducive to improving the accuracy and efficiency of percutaneous nephrostomy. The structure of the guide wire delivery device 88 is also more compact, which is more conducive to improving the structural compactness of the percutaneous nephrostomy device 8.

[0110] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the mounting frame 881 may also include two cover plates 8813. The two cover plates 8813 can be respectively disposed on the upper sides of the support frame 8812 and located above the drive wheel 882 and the sliding frame 884. The cover plate 8813 above the sliding frame 884 can be provided with a third sliding hole 881d extending from top to bottom. A second sliding part 8842 can be provided on the top of the sliding frame 884. The second sliding part 8842 can be disposed within the third sliding hole 881d, allowing the sliding frame 884 to slide along the third sliding hole 881d. The shaft of the drive wheel 882 can rotate the cover plate 8813 located above. In this way, the structure of the wire guide conveyor 88 is more compact.

[0111] It is worth noting that the support frame 8812 and the substrate 8811 can be connected in various ways. For example, docking claws 8814 can be provided on both sides of the support frame 8812, and docking holes 881e can be provided on both sides of the first sliding hole 881a on the substrate 8811. The two docking claws 8814 can pass through the two docking holes 881e and then engage with the bottom of the substrate 8811. In this way, the support frame 8812 is docked with the substrate 8811 through the docking claws 8814, and the drive wheel 882 is docked with the drive disk 887 of the fourth drive unit 886 through the docking disk 888. This enables quick docking and installation of the execution part and the drive part of the wire guide conveyor 88, which is convenient to operate and highly efficient.

[0112] In the embodiments provided in this application, please refer to Figure 2 It is understood that the syringe 82 also includes a second plug 826, a third plug 827, and a connector 828; the rear end and front end of the outer sleeve 823 are respectively provided with a first opening 8231 and a second opening 8232, and the side wall of the outer sleeve 823 is provided with a third opening 8233; the second plug 826 and the third plug 827 are respectively at least partially disposed in the first opening 8231 and the second opening 8232, and the injection needle 824 is sequentially inserted through the second plug 826 and the third plug 827; the outlet 8211 of the syringe 821 and the third opening 8233 are connected by the connector 828.

[0113] In use, the second plug 826 and the third plug 827 can respectively seal the first opening 8231 and the second opening 8232 of the outer sleeve 823, so that the contrast agent inside the outer sleeve 823 does not leak out during the movement of the injection needle 824, which can relatively ensure the stability of the puncture process.

[0114] In specific settings, the materials of the first plug 825, the second plug 826, and the third plug 827 are not limited. For example, silicone material can be used. This ensures that the three plugs not only have good sealing performance, preventing the contrast agent inside the syringe 82 from leaking during the puncture process, but also have good elasticity, making them relatively easy to install. The first plug 825 is also easily punctured by the guidewire 89, ensuring the smooth progress of the guidewire delivery process.

[0115] Furthermore, the structures of the first plug 825, the second plug 826, and the third plug 827 are not limited. For example, the second plug 826 and the third plug 827 can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown, a groove is provided circumferentially on the outer wall. The first opening 8231 and the second opening 8232 of the outer sleeve 823 can be configured to have a stepped hole and an inner hole that communicate from the inside to the outside. In this way, the first opening 8231 and the second opening 8232 can be respectively locked in the grooves of the second plug 826 and the third plug 827, so as to realize the stable installation of the two plugs and improve the sealing performance between the plugs and the corresponding openings.

[0116] It is worth mentioning that before performing the puncture, one can, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the guidewire 89 is pre-punctured by the first plug 825. This allows for rapid delivery of the guidewire 89 after the puncture and injection of the contrast agent, resulting in higher efficiency in the fistula creation. Of course, the guidewire 89 can also be positioned close to the first plug 825 without pre-puncturing it; there are no specific limitations.

[0117] In specific settings, the structure of connector 828 is not limited. For example, a Luer connector can be used to improve the sealing performance at the connection between syringe 821 and outer sleeve 823, making it less likely for contrast agent to leak from the connection.

[0118] As described above, in the embodiments of this application, the injection cartridge 821 and the outer sleeve 823 are as follows: Figure 2 The syringe 82 is shown as a separate unit connected via connector 828, which facilitates its manufacture. In fact, the syringe barrel 821 and the outer casing 823 can also be integrated; this application does not limit this arrangement.

[0119] In addition, the specific structure of the outer sleeve 823 and the arrangement of the outer sleeve 823 and the injection barrel 821 are not limited. In the embodiment of the present application, the outer sleeve 823 can be arranged in an L shape, specifically, the outer sleeve 823 includes a main body portion for arranging the injection needle 824 and a connecting portion extending radially outward from the side wall of the main body portion, the first opening portion 8231 and the second opening portion 8232 are respectively arranged at the rear end and the front end of the main body portion, and the third opening portion 8233 can be arranged at the connecting portion. The axis of the injection barrel 821 can be parallel to the axis of the main body portion. In this way, the structure of the injector 82 is relatively compact, so that the structure of the percutaneous nephrostomy device 8 is more compact, the volume is smaller, and it is more convenient for doctors to carry and operate or for a robot system to control and operate.

[0120] In actual arrangement, the structure of the puncture base 81 is not limited.

[0121] Please refer to Figure 1 In the embodiment of the present application, the puncture base 81 includes a support seat 811, a mounting seat 812 located above the support seat 811, and a connecting plate 813 connecting the support seat 811 and the mounting seat 812. The first driving member 83 and the second driving member 84 are both arranged on the support seat 811 and both penetrate the rear side of the connecting plate 813 at the output end. The upper surface of the mounting seat 812 is formed with two mounting grooves 812a, and the injection barrel 821 and the outer sleeve 823 are at least partially arranged in the two mounting grooves 812a, respectively. In this way, the driving structure, i.e., the first driving member 83 and the second driving member 84, and the execution structure, i.e., the injection barrel 821, the core rod 822, the outer sleeve 823 and the injection needle 824, are arranged on the upper and lower two layers of the puncture base 81, respectively. This makes the arrangement structure of the percutaneous nephrostomy device 8 more compact, and makes the installation of the injector 82 on the puncture base 81 more stable, which is beneficial to the smooth progress of the puncture nephrostomy process.

[0122] Specifically, the structures of the first driving member 83 and the second driving member 84 are not limited. In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 , the first driving member 83 and the second driving member 84 can be electric push rods, respectively. The main body portions of the two electric push rods can be arranged on the support seat 811, and the push rod portions penetrate the rear side of the connecting plate 813 and are connected with the injection needle 824 and the core rod 822, respectively. This can stably control the movement of the injection needle 824 and the core rod 822, which is beneficial to the smooth progress of the puncture nephrostomy process.

[0123] In order to ensure that the movement of the injection needle 824 and the core rod 822 is more stable, the present application further provides corresponding clamping structures.

[0124] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1As shown in this embodiment, the percutaneous nephrostomy device 8 further includes a first clamping member 871. The first clamping member 871 is located at the front end of the puncture base 81 and is configured to clamp the injection needle 824 and the guide wire 89. Thus, the first clamping member 871 can be used to clamp the injection needle 824 before puncture, guide the movement of the injection needle 824 during puncture, and clamp the guide wire 89 during the withdrawal of the injection needle 824 after the guide wire 89 is inserted into the body, making the puncture process and the needle withdrawal and guide wire retention process smoother.

[0125] The structure of the first clamping member 871 is not limited. For example, it can be a miniature electric gripper that automatically adjusts the tightness of the clamp by adjusting the distance between the two gripper arms. It clamps when it is tighter and guides when it is looser, thereby achieving the clamping and guiding of the injection needle 824 and the clamping of the guide wire 89 respectively.

[0126] like Figure 4 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the percutaneous nephrostomy device 8 further includes a second clamping member 872 and a first connecting seat 874; the first connecting seat 874 is connected to the output end of the first driving member 83, a first force sensor 85 is disposed on the first connecting seat 874, and the second clamping member 872 is disposed on the first force sensor 85. The second clamping member 872 is used to clamp the tip of the injection needle 824, and the first driving member 83 drives the injection needle 824 to move through the second clamping member 872. In this way, the second clamping member 872 clamps the tip of the injection needle 824, and the first clamping member 871 guides the tip of the injection needle 824, making the movement of the injection needle 824 more stable during puncture and needle withdrawal.

[0127] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the percutaneous nephrostomy device 8 further includes a third clamping member 873 and a second connecting seat 875; the second connecting seat 875 is connected to the output end of the second driving member 84, the second force sensor 86 is disposed on the second connecting seat 875, the third clamping member 873 is disposed on the second force sensor 86, and the third clamping member 873 is used to clamp the first end of the core rod 822. In this way, the movement process of the core rod 822 is more stable, which can ensure that the contrast agent injection process is carried out more smoothly.

[0128] The structures of the second clamping member 872 and the third clamping member 873 are not limited. For example, both the second clamping member 872 and the third clamping member 873 can be as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 4 The chuck shown can have two parallel chuck arms, one in front and one behind, with a U-shaped through groove formed on the upper part of each chuck arm. For example... Figure 1As shown, a first protrusion 8221 can be provided circumferentially at the first end of the core rod 822. The first end of the core rod 822 can be located in the U-shaped through groove in front of the corresponding jaw, and the first protrusion 8221 can be engaged between the two jaw arms; as shown Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a second protrusion 8241 can be provided circumferentially at the tip of the injection needle 824. The tip of the injection needle 824 can be located in the U-shaped through groove at the front of the corresponding jaw, and the second protrusion 8241 can be engaged between the two jaw arms. This facilitates the connection between the injection needle 824 and the first driving member 83, the core rod 822, and the second driving member 84, and also makes the movement of the injection needle 824 and the core rod 822 more stable.

[0129] In addition, please combine Figure 1 It is understood that the first end of the syringe 821 can also be provided with a boss along the circumference. The mounting base 812 can be provided with a slot at the first end of the mounting groove 812a corresponding to the syringe 821. The syringe 821 can be placed in the mounting groove 812a, and its boss can be locked in the slot here. The main body of the outer sleeve 823 can be provided with an annular slot along the circumference in the middle. The mounting base 812 can be provided with a snap-fit ​​block in the mounting groove 812a corresponding to the outer sleeve 823. The upper surface of the snap-fit ​​block can be provided with a U-shaped through groove communicating with the mounting groove 812a. The part of the main body behind and in front of the annular slot can be placed in the mounting groove 812a. The part of the main body in the annular slot can be placed in the U-shaped through groove of the snap-fit ​​block. The two side walls of the annular slot, that is, the two opposite stepped surfaces of the outer sleeve 823, can respectively abut against the front and rear end faces of the snap-fit ​​block.

[0130] In this way, the syringe 821, outer sleeve 823 and mounting base 812 are cleverly connected, as are the syringe needle 824, core rod 822 and the corresponding drive output end connector. This allows the syringe 82 to be quickly connected to the puncture base 81 and each drive component, facilitating the installation and replacement of the syringe 82, a disposable consumable, which helps reduce the cost of puncture and fistula creation. It also makes the connection between the syringe 82, the puncture base 81 and each drive component more stable, which helps improve the stability of the puncture and fistula creation process.

[0131] In actual setup, the structure of the injection needle 824 is not limited.

[0132] like Figure 1 As shown, the end of the injection needle 824 can be set as a beveled tip to reduce puncture resistance and improve puncture efficiency.

[0133] like Figure 2As shown, two through holes 824a can be arranged on the injection needle 824, and the two through holes 824a can be uniformly distributed along the circumference of the injection needle 824. Of course, one or more than three through holes 824a can also be arranged according to requirements. In addition, when there are more than two through holes 824a, each through hole 824a can also be uniformly distributed along the axis of the injection needle 824, and the specific distribution is not limited.

[0134] In the embodiments provided in the present application, the outer surface of the injection needle 824 is also provided with an acoustic enhancement material coating, so that the definition of the injection needle 824 in the ultrasound image is higher during the puncture process, which is beneficial for the doctor to track the position of the injection needle 824 in combination with the ultrasound image, so as to more accurately control the puncture process, and further improve the puncture precision.

[0135] The percutaneous nephrostomy device 8 provided in the present application can be held and operated by a doctor, or can be controlled and operated by a robot system, and the specific operation is not limited.

[0136] Please refer to Figures 7-8 , Figure 7 for the structure schematic diagram of the percutaneous nephrostomy robot system provided in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 8 for Figure 7 the application scenario schematic diagram of the percutaneous nephrostomy robot system shown.

[0137] The present application also provides a percutaneous nephrostomy robot system for controlling the percutaneous nephrostomy device 8 and the ultrasound assembly 9. In the embodiments provided in the present application, please understand Figure 7 that the percutaneous nephrostomy robot system includes a workstation 1, a first mechanical arm 3, a connecting platform 5, a second mechanical arm 6, a third mechanical arm 7, an ultrasound assembly 9 and the percutaneous nephrostomy device 8 in all the above embodiments. Among them, the first mechanical arm 3 is arranged on the workstation 1, the connecting platform 5 and the end of the first mechanical arm 3 are connected, the second mechanical arm 6 and the third mechanical arm 7 are arranged on the connecting platform 5, the ultrasound assembly 9 includes an ultrasound probe 91, the ultrasound probe 91 and the puncture base 81 are arranged at the ends of the second mechanical arm 6 and the third mechanical arm 7 respectively, and the first mechanical arm 3 is a multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm. The ultrasound probe 91, each driving member, each force sensor and each mechanical arm are respectively in communication connection with the workstation 1.

[0138] It can be understood that the workstation 1 is used for receiving, storing and processing data and controlling the operation of each component, and in addition to having a data processing and control device, it can also be like Figure 7As shown, the trolley 11, the display 12 and the human-computer interaction module 13 are included, the data processing and control device can be arranged inside the trolley 11, the display 12 and the human-computer interaction module 13 can be arranged outside the trolley 11, and the first mechanical arm 3 is specifically arranged in the trolley 11. The arrangement of the trolley 11 facilitates the movement of the entire robot system, the display 12 can be used to display data such as ultrasound images, and the human-computer interaction module 13 can be used for the doctor to input various operation instructions. For example, Figure 8 As shown, the trolley 11 is moved to the side of the bed c, and the operator b can control the percutaneous nephrostomy robot system to perform percutaneous nephrostomy surgery on the patient d on the bed c.

[0139] The embodiment of the present application arranges the first mechanical arm 3 at the workstation 1, and arranges the ultrasound-guided puncture fistula system including the connecting platform 5, the second mechanical arm 6 and the third mechanical arm 7 arranged on the connecting platform 5, the ultrasound assembly 9 arranged at the end of the second mechanical arm 6, and the percutaneous nephrostomy device 8 arranged at the end of the third mechanical arm 7 at the end of the first mechanical arm 3, so as to realize the integration of the robot structure, the ultrasound structure and the puncture structure, and to realize the percutaneous nephrostomy surgery under the ultrasound guidance in one device.

[0140] Among them, the first mechanical arm 3 and the second mechanical arm 6 form a redundant mechanical arm structure between them, and the first mechanical arm 3 and the third mechanical arm 7 form a redundant mechanical arm structure between them, so that the ultrasound probe 91 at the end of the second mechanical arm 6 and the percutaneous nephrostomy device 8 at the end of the third mechanical arm 7 can be preliminarily positioned by the movement of the first mechanical arm 3, and then the ultrasound probe 91 and the percutaneous nephrostomy device 8 at the end can be fine-positioned by the movement of the second mechanical arm 6 and the third mechanical arm 7, respectively.

[0141] In use, the redundant mechanical arm structure formed between the first mechanical arm 3 and the second mechanical arm 6 can flexibly and accurately control the scanning of the ultrasound probe 91, so that the doctor can efficiently and accurately determine the puncture starting position and the puncture posture according to the obtained ultrasound image. At the same time, the redundant mechanical arm structure formed between the first mechanical arm 3 and the third mechanical arm 7 can flexibly and accurately control the position and posture of the percutaneous nephrostomy device 8, so that the injection needle 824 can be efficiently and accurately moved to the determined puncture starting position and the posture reaches the determined puncture posture, and the workstation 1 can automatically control the first driving member 83 to drive the injection needle 824 to puncture stably and accurately. During the puncture process, the workstation 1 can automatically acquire the puncture force data collected by the first force sensor 85 and the pushing force data collected by the second force sensor 86, and timely and accurately capture the puncture moment according to the change of at least one of the puncture force and the pushing force.

[0142] Therefore, the puncture process of the injection needle 824 is more stable and accurate, especially the positioning accuracy of the puncture end point is further improved, so that the injection needle 824 can be more timely controlled to stop puncture, and the second driving member 84 can be more timely controlled to drive the core rod 822 to advance to inject the contrast agent, and accordingly the accuracy and safety of the percutaneous renal puncture fistula surgery can be further improved.

[0168] In step 13, the partial freedom of the first robot arm 3 can be "locked", and the first robot arm 3 is controlled to move in the movement plane of the second robot arm 6 and the third robot arm 7, so as to accurately control the preliminary fine scanning of the ultrasound probe 91 from the determined fine scanning starting point, and a plurality of scanning trajectories can be obtained, so that the doctor determines the fine scanning trajectory a.

[0169] In step S14, it is judged whether the fine scanning trajectory a exceeds the ideal space. If the fine scanning trajectory a exceeds the ideal space, the fine scanning trajectory a is determined again. If the fine scanning trajectory a does not exceed the ideal space, the midpoint of the fine scanning trajectory a is extracted.
