Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of advanced medical robot technology and relates to a quick-change robotic end effector for percutaneous interventional surgery. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of minimally invasive interventional techniques, percutaneous vascular interventional procedures (such as percutaneous coronary intervention, neurointervention, and peripheral angioplasty) have become the mainstream treatment for cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and oncological diseases. In recent years, surgical robot systems have been gradually introduced into this field. Through robotic arm operation, surgical precision can be significantly improved, radiation to both doctors and patients can be reduced, and remote precision treatment can be achieved.

[0003] As the core operating unit of a surgical robot, the end effector is directly responsible for gripping and driving interventional instruments. Due to the complexity of surgical procedures, multiple functional instruments need to be used alternately in a single surgery. However, traditional robotic systems have significant drawbacks when changing instruments: current systems mostly use a single fixed end effector, making instrument changes time-consuming or even impossible, reducing surgical efficiency and increasing the risk of anesthesia and vascular complications for patients. Existing integrated multi-functional actuator solutions also have serious shortcomings: spatial interference between multiple mechanisms affects imaging equipment projection, leading to a significant reduction in workspace; multiple motion mechanisms share a drive source, causing mutual interference in accuracy; the docking process is cumbersome and the changeover time is long; and there is a lack of adaptive drive parameter capabilities, requiring manual calibration after changeover.

[0004] Chinese invention patent CN115568954A discloses an XMR image-guided cardiovascular interventional surgery robot. Although it can simultaneously perform wire insertion / retraction and wire rotation operations, it requires changing the robot to achieve positioning, puncture, and guidance steps, which not only reduces surgical efficiency but also affects surgical precision and easily leads to postoperative complications. Chinese invention patent CN113633382A discloses a guidewire / catheter delivery device and a vascular interventional surgery robot. Although it can adapt to various types of guidewires, it occupies too much space, encroaching on the surgical operating space.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a quick-change robotic end effector for percutaneous interventional surgery to address the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

The end effector comprises a first end effector and a second end effector, which can be rapidly switched on the same robotic system via a quick-change module. This solves problems such as functional module separation, spatial interference between multiple mechanisms, mutual interference in motion accuracy, and low quick-change efficiency. This invention can be integrated into a single robotic system, has a compact structure, high motion accuracy, and can realize various percutaneous interventional procedures, covering precise operation throughout the entire percutaneous interventional surgery process.
