[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a universally operable extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter for pets, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This pet extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter features a universal adjustable mechanism. The universal adjustment mechanism, through a combination of an electric telescopic cylinder, multiple sets of de-energized electromagnetic controllers, and an adjusting arm, enables flexible adjustment within three-dimensional space. The electric telescopic cylinder precisely controls the height of the lifting rod to meet the treatment needs of pets of different sizes. The first, second, and third de-energized electromagnetic controllers, in conjunction with the adjusting arm, allow for multi-angle and multi-directional rotation, enabling the shock wave head to be quickly and accurately aimed at the pet's gallstones. This significantly improves the accuracy and convenience of treatment, reduces operational difficulty, and increases veterinary efficiency.

[0020] 2. This pet extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter features a universal operating mechanism. The control buttons on the handle are connected to key components via wires, allowing the operator to directly control the raising and lowering of the electric telescopic cylinder and the rotation of the adjusting arm by simply holding the handle. This eliminates the need for frequent trips to the control panel, enabling close-range, real-time control. This user-friendly design not only improves operational convenience but also allows for timely adjustments to the device's position and angle during treatment, enhancing the flexibility and controllability of the process.

[0021] 3. This pet-use extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter features a worm gear drive mechanism for angle adjustment. By cranking the handle, the worm rotates, which in turn drives the worm wheel and shaft, allowing for fine-tuning of the control panel and shock wave head angle. The worm gear drive is characterized by strong self-locking, smooth transmission, and high adjustment precision, enabling precise adjustments to the shock wave head angle. This ensures the shock wave reaches the stone site at the optimal angle, improving lithotripsy effectiveness and minimizing unnecessary damage to other parts of the pet's body.

[0033] This invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Please see Figure 1-4The present invention provides a technical solution: an extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter for pets with universal operation, including a fixed base 1, a bed 2 fixedly connected to the top of the fixed base 1, an electrical control box 3 fixedly connected to the back of the fixed base 1, a universal adjustment mechanism 4 fixedly connected to the top of the electrical control box 3, and an angle adjustment mechanism 5 provided inside the universal adjustment mechanism 4.

[0037] The top of the electrical control box 3 has a slot, and the electric telescopic cylinder 42 is located inside the electrical control box 3 through a hole.

[0038] The top of the fixed box 41 has a hole that matches the rotating rod, and the rotating rod is slidably connected to the hole by passing through the surface of the rotating rod.

[0039] The control button 411 is connected to the first power-off electromagnetic controller 45, the second power-off electromagnetic controller 46, the third power-off electromagnetic controller 48 and the electric telescopic cylinder 42 via wires.

[0040] The first protective shell 412 protects the first power-off electromagnetic controller 45 and the second power-off electromagnetic controller 46, and the third power-off electromagnetic controller 48.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] Please see Figure 5-7 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, an angle adjustment mechanism 5 was obtained.

[0043] The angle adjustment mechanism 5 includes a fixed housing 51, with a handle 49 fixedly connected to the other end of the fixed housing 51. A worm gear 52 is rotatably connected to the back of the inner wall of the fixed housing 51. A crank handle 53 is fixedly connected to the front end of the worm gear 52. A rotating shaft 55 is rotatably connected to the left side of the inner wall of the fixed housing 51. A worm wheel 54 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 55. A control panel 56 is fixedly connected to the right end of the rotating shaft 55. An impact wave head 57 is fixedly connected to the left side of the control panel 56 near the bottom.

[0044] The front of the fixed housing 51 has a hole that matches the worm gear 52, and the surface of the worm gear 52 passes through and is rotatably connected to the hole.

[0045] The worm 52 meshes with the worm wheel 54.

[0046] The right side of the fixed housing 51 has a hole that matches the rotating shaft 55, and the rotating shaft 55 passes through and is rotatably connected to the hole.

[0047] The control panel 56 is connected to the components inside the electrical control box 3 via wires, and the components inside the electrical control box 3 are connected to the control button 411 via wires.

[0048] In actual operation, when this device is used, the pet is placed stably on the bed 2. The veterinarian then makes initial adjustments to the position and angle of the shock wave head 57 based on the pet's size, the location of the stones, and other factors. The electrical control box 3, as the core control unit, provides power and control signals to the entire device. The fixed base 1 provides stable support for the bed 2 and the electrical control box 3, ensuring the stability of the device during operation. The veterinarian sends commands to the electrical control box 3 via the control button 411 on the handle 49. When height adjustment is required, the electrical control box 3 activates the electric telescopic cylinder 42. The motor inside the electric telescopic cylinder 42 drives the lead screw to rotate, and the lead screw and nut pair converts the rotational motion into linear motion, pushing the lifting rod 43 up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the entire universal adjustment mechanism 4 to accommodate the height of the stones in pets of different sizes. Regarding angle adjustment, the control button 411 can control the first power-off electromagnetic controller 45, the second power-off electromagnetic controller 46, and the third power-off electromagnetic controller 48, respectively. When a certain adjusting arm needs to be rotated, the corresponding electromagnetic controller is energized, unlocked, and the motor drives the adjusting arm to rotate around the connecting shaft. After reaching the appropriate angle, the electromagnetic controller is de-energized and automatically locks the position of the adjusting arm. Through the coordinated work of multiple sets of adjusting arms and electromagnetic controllers, the shock wave head 57 can be flexibly rotated in multiple angles and directions in three-dimensional space, quickly aligning with the pet's gallstones. After the approximate positioning of the universal adjustment mechanism 4 is completed, if a more precise adjustment of the angle of the shock wave head 57 is required, it can be achieved through the angle adjustment mechanism 5. The veterinarian cranks the handle 53, causing the worm gear 52 to rotate. Since the worm gear 52 meshes with the worm wheel 54, the rotation of the worm gear 52 will drive the worm wheel 54 and the rotating shaft 55 fixedly connected to it to rotate, thereby causing the control panel 56 fixed to the right end of the rotating shaft 55 and the shock wave head 57 to change angle. The worm gear 52 and worm wheel 54 transmission features strong self-locking, smooth transmission, and high adjustment precision, enabling fine adjustments to the angle of the shockwave head 57. This ensures the shockwave acts at the optimal angle on the stone site. Once the shockwave head 57 is adjusted to the correct position and angle via the universal adjustment mechanism 4 and the angle adjustment mechanism 5, the veterinarian sets relevant parameters for the shockwave, such as energy intensity, frequency, and treatment time, through the control panel 56. After setting, the electrical control box 3 controls the shockwave head 57 to generate a high-energy shockwave according to the instructions from the control panel 56. The shockwave penetrates the pet's body tissue, focusing on the stone site and using its energy to break the stone into smaller pieces, which the pet can then expel naturally through excretion. Throughout the treatment process, the electrical control box 3 continuously monitors the operating status of each component and precisely controls their coordinated operation according to preset programs and actual operating instructions, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
