Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a surgical robot master control device and a vascular interventional surgical robot system. Background Technology

[0002] Vascular interventional surgical robots are gradually becoming an important tool in the treatment of cerebrovascular, cardiovascular, and peripheral vascular diseases. In traditional vascular interventional surgery, doctors need to wear heavy lead aprons and operate instruments in the catheterization lab (a special department in a hospital used for interventional diagnostic and treatment procedures). This can easily lead to a decline in the doctor's physical strength, affect their concentration and operational stability, and increase the probability of medical accidents. Therefore, currently, the treatment of blood vessels is generally carried out by operating the master control device outside the catheterization lab to control the slave surgical instruments.

[0003] Existing master control devices often use a joystick to control the feed speed of the instrument. The speed of the motor on the slave end is controlled by controlling the amount of movement of the joystick. Although this device is simple in structure and easy to manufacture and assemble, when the doctor controls the joystick, slight tremors of the doctor's hand can easily cause changes in the speed of the motor of the slave instrument, which in turn affects the motion accuracy of the instrument.

[0073] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0074] To address the problem in existing technologies where the joystick in the master control device is easily affected by slight hand tremors, causing changes in the motor speed of the slave instrument and thus impacting the instrument's motion accuracy, the present invention provides the following embodiments to solve the aforementioned technical problem.

[0075] Example 1

[0076] Please see Figures 1 to 10 This embodiment provides a master-end control device for a surgical robot, comprising: a master-end housing 1; a roller mechanism rotatably disposed within the master-end housing 1, with a portion of the roller mechanism extending outside the master-end housing 1; a controller 3 disposed within the master-end housing 1 and electrically connected to the first roller assembly 2 and the slave-end surgical robot, respectively, to adjust the feed state of the slave-end surgical robot according to the signal generated by the roller mechanism; a first gear damper 4 disposed within the master-end housing 1 and meshing with the roller mechanism; and a trackball 12 rotatably disposed outside the master-end housing 1 and signal-connected to a magnetic field generator 11 in the catheter chamber via the controller 3, for changing the direction of the magnetic field around the magnetic field generator 11.

[0077] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the embodiment provided in this example, the main control device of the surgical robot includes a main housing 1, a first roller assembly 2, a controller 3, a first gear damper 4, and a trackball 12. The main housing 1 has a slot (not shown) on its top side. The first roller assembly 2 is rotatably disposed inside the main housing 1 and electrically connected to the controller 3. A portion of the first roller assembly 2 extends out of the main housing 1 through the slot. This portion is used by the surgeon to manually roll the first roller assembly 2. When the first roller assembly 2 is rolled, it generates a signal corresponding to the feed state of the guidewire of the slave surgical robot. The controller 3 transmits this signal to the slave surgical robot, which is an existing device including a slave drive mechanism and surgical instruments. The guidewire is connected to and driven by a mechanism, such as a guidewire in a surgical instrument. When the slave-end drive mechanism receives a signal generated by the first roller assembly 2, it drives the guidewire to perform a corresponding action. For example, when the first roller assembly 2 is rolled forward, it generates a signal for the guidewire to move forward. After receiving the signal, the slave-end drive mechanism drives the guidewire to move forward. When the first roller assembly 2 is rolled backward, it generates a signal for the guidewire to move backward. After receiving the signal, the slave-end drive mechanism drives the guidewire to move backward. This achieves the reciprocating motion of the guidewire controlled by the rolling of the first roller assembly 2. It should be noted that the speed at which the guidewire moves forward or backward is the same as the speed at which the first roller assembly 2 is rolled. Furthermore, when the first roller assembly 2 rolls, it drives the gear on the first gear damper 4 to rotate together. At this time, the gear on the first gear damper 4 provides a certain damping force to the first roller assembly 2, so that the first roller assembly 2 has a damping feel when it is rolled. This can avoid the adverse effects of slight hand tremors on the movement accuracy of the surgical robot and reduce surgical risks. The magnetic field generator 11 is an existing device, which is set in the catheter chamber and close to the surgical robot, and is electrically connected to the controller 3. The trackball 12 is rotatably set on the outside of the main end housing 1 and is electrically connected to the controller 3. The trackball 12 is an existing device, such as the three-button photoelectric trackball 12 of model XH-P50CUB2. The trackball 12 changes the magnitude of the current transmitted between the controller 3 and the magnetic field generator 11 by rotating, thereby changing the direction of the magnetic field around the magnetic field generator 11. Specifically, the magnetic field generator 11 is located in the catheter chamber and close to the surgical instruments so that it can affect the direction of guidewire deflection by changing its own magnetic field. Normally, the guidewire in the surgical instruments is magnetic, while the microcatheter and intermediate catheter are not magnetic. Therefore, the trackball 12 is used to control the direction of guidewire deflection individually. If the microcatheter and intermediate catheter are placed on the guidewire, the microcatheter and intermediate catheter will deflect synchronously with the guidewire.When the trackball 12 is rotated, the trackball 12 can change the magnitude of the current connected between the controller 3 and the magnetic field generator 11 by the angle of deflection, thereby changing the direction of the magnetic field around the magnetic field generator 11, thus achieving the directional shift of the guidewire, microcatheter and intermediate catheter. After the trackball 12 is released, the trackball 12 will automatically bounce back to its original position.

[0078] like Figure 3 As shown, further, in the main end control device of the surgical robot in this embodiment, the first roller assembly 2 includes a first support 201, a first roller 202, a first gear 203, a first roller 204, a second support 205, a first magnetic component 206, and a first encoder 207; the first support 201 is fixedly disposed inside the main end housing 1, the first gear damper 4 is disposed on the first support 201, one end of the first roller 202 is rotatably connected to the first support 201, the first gear 203 is fixedly sleeved on the first roller 202 and meshes with the first gear damper 4, and the first roller 204 is fixedly disposed on the first roller 202. A portion of the first roller 204, which is sleeved on the first roller 202, extends out of the main end housing 1. A second support 205 is opposite to the first support 201 and fixedly disposed inside the main end housing 1. The other end of the first roller 202 is rotatably connected to the second support 205. A first magnetic element 206 is disposed inside the other end of the first roller 202. A first encoder 207 is disposed on the second support 205 and electrically connected to the controller 3. The end of the first roller 202 with the first magnetic element 206 is coaxially disposed inside the center hole of the first encoder 207 with a gap between them.

[0079] Specifically, in the first roller assembly 2, the first roller 204 and the first roller shaft 202 are fixed to each other. When the part of the first roller 204 extending outside the main end housing 1 is touched and rolled, the first roller 204 drives the first roller shaft 202 to rotate on the first support 201 and the second support 205. The first gear 203 on the first roller shaft 202 drives the first gear damper 4 to rotate. The first gear damper 4 feeds back the damping force to the first roller 204 through the first gear 203, so that the doctor has a certain resistance when rolling the first roller 204. The other end of the first roller shaft 202 is provided with a housing for the first magnetic component 206. The slot (not shown) is coaxially mounted with the first magnetic component 206 and the first encoder 207. The first magnetic component 206 is aligned with the chip of the first encoder 207, with a certain gap between them. When the first roller 204 rotates, driving the first roller 202 to rotate, the first magnetic component 206 mounted on the other end of the first roller 202 also rotates. The first encoder 207 collects the magnetic field changes generated when the first magnetic component 206 rotates, thereby collecting the rotation signal of the first roller 204. The first encoder 207 transmits the collected signal to the slave surgical robot through the controller 3, thereby controlling the guidewire's forward or backward movement. The first encoder 207 collects the magnetic field changes generated when the first magnetic component 206 rotates without mechanical contact, which can accurately capture details such as low speed and micro-rotation, avoiding movement deviations of the slave surgical robot due to inaccurate sensing by the master control device.

[0080] Furthermore, the first roller assembly 2 also includes a second gear 212, a motor 213, and a third gear 214. The second gear 212 is fixedly sleeved on the other end of the first roller 202. The motor 213 is mounted on the second support 205 and electrically connected to the controller 3. The motor 213 is a brushless motor 213. The third gear 214 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft of the motor 213 and meshes with the second gear 212. One end of the motor 213 is provided with a limiting ring 215 for axially limiting the second gear 212. Specifically, the surgical robot is electrically connected to the controller 3 via wires. When the guidewire moves in the blood vessel and senses resistance, the guidewire feeds back the resistance to the driven mechanism of the surgical robot. The driven mechanism converts the force sensed by the guidewire into an electrical signal and transmits it to the controller 3 via wires. The controller 3 controls the motor 213 to rotate at a certain speed and feeds back the force to the first roller 204 through the third gear 214 and the second gear 212. This allows the operator to feel the force at the distal end of the instrument and perceive subtle changes in resistance at the distal end of the guidewire in real time, such as slight pressure when contacting the blood vessel wall or the increase in resistance when passing through a stenotic segment. The operator can adjust the operating force in a timely manner, improve the accuracy of operation, and reduce the burden on doctors through precise force feedback.

[0081] Meanwhile, the first roller assembly 2 also includes a first bearing 208, a second bearing 209, a first isolation ring 210, and a second isolation ring 211. The first bearing 208 is disposed on the first support 201, and the second bearing 209 is disposed on the second support 205. The two ends of the first roller 202 are respectively connected to the first bearing 208 and the second bearing 209 to achieve rotation. The first isolation ring 210 is sleeved on one end of the first roller 202 and located between the first gear 203 and the first bearing 208, and is used to separate and limit the first gear 203 and the first bearing 208. The second isolation ring 211 is sleeved on the other end of the first roller 202 and located between the second gear 212 and the second bearing 209, and is used to separate and limit the second gear 212 and the second bearing 209. Since it is usually difficult to completely eliminate the axial clearance between the first gear 203, the second gear 212 and the first roller 202 during mechanical assembly, by adding the first isolation ring 210 and the second isolation ring 211, the first gear 203 and the second gear 212 can be prevented from shifting to the bearings on both sides, avoiding mutual friction between the gears and the bearings, and extending the service life of the first roller assembly 2.

[0082] In another embodiment of the surgical robot master control device, the first roller assembly 2 further includes a first support plate 216 and a first end cap 217. The first support plate 216 is disposed on the second support 205. One side of the first encoder 207 is disposed in the first mounting hole 2161 of the first support plate 216. The first end cap 217 is disposed on the first support plate 216, and the other side of the first encoder 207 is disposed in the first end cap 217. Specifically, the first support plate 216 is fixedly connected to the second support 205 by screws. One side of the first encoder 207 protrudes outward, and the protruding part of the first encoder 207 is embedded in the first mounting hole 2161. The first end cap 217 is fixedly connected to the first support plate 216 by screws and encloses the first encoder 207. The bottom side of the first end cap 217 has a notch for the wiring of the first encoder 207 and the controller 3 for electrical connection. When it is necessary to disassemble the first encoder 207 for maintenance, only the first end cap 217 needs to be disassembled, which is simple and convenient.

[0083] Furthermore, in another embodiment of this invention, the main control device of the surgical robot further includes a first button 5 and a second button 6. The first button 5 is disposed on the surface of the main housing 1 and electrically connected to the controller 3, and is used to control the guidewire of the slave surgical robot to rotate forward. The second button 6 is disposed on the surface of the main housing 1 and electrically connected to the controller 3, and is used to control the guidewire of the slave surgical robot to rotate in reverse. Specifically, when it is necessary to control the guidewire to rotate alone, the first button 5 or the second button 6 can be pressed and held down, and the guidewire will stop rotating after the first button 5 or the second button 6 is released. When it is necessary to control the guidewire to rotate while moving forward or backward, the first button 5 needs to be pressed and the first roller is rolled at the same time, or the second button 6 needs to be pressed and the first roller is rolled at the same time.

[0084] like Figure 4 As shown, further, in another embodiment of this invention, the main end control device of the surgical robot also includes at least one second roller assembly 7 and a second gear damper 8; the second roller assembly 7 is rotatably disposed in the main end housing 1 and electrically connected to the controller 3, a portion of the second roller assembly 7 extends out of the main end housing 1 for manual rolling, and the signal generated after the second roller assembly 7 is triggered is used to adjust the feeding state of the microcatheter and / or the intermediate catheter of the slave end surgical robot; the second gear damper 8 is disposed in the main end housing 1 and meshes with one end of the second roller assembly 7.

[0085] For example, when the second roller assembly 7 is equipped with a microcatheter and is used to control it, when it is rolled forward, the second roller assembly 7 will generate a signal for the microcatheter to move forward. After receiving the signal, the drive mechanism will drive the microcatheter in the surgical instrument to move forward. When the second roller assembly 7 is rolled backward, it will generate a signal for the microcatheter to move backward. After receiving the signal, the drive mechanism will drive the microcatheter to move backward, thereby achieving reciprocating motion control of the microcatheter through the rolling of the second roller assembly 7. It should be noted that the speed at which the microcatheter moves forward or backward is consistent with the speed at which the second roller assembly 7 is rolled. Furthermore, when the second roller assembly 7 is rolling, it will drive the gear on the second gear damper 8 to rotate together. At this time, the gear on the second gear damper 8 will provide a certain damping force to the second roller assembly 7, so that the second roller assembly 7 has a damping feel when it is rolled. This can avoid the adverse effects of slight hand tremors on the movement accuracy of the surgical robot and reduce surgical risks.

[0086] When the second roller assembly 7, equipped with a second roller for controlling the intermediate conduit, is rolled forward, it generates a signal for the intermediate conduit to move forward. Upon receiving this signal, the drive mechanism in the surgical instrument moves the intermediate conduit forward. Similarly, when the second roller assembly 7 is rolled backward, it generates a signal for the intermediate conduit to move backward. This, in turn, drives the intermediate conduit backward, thus controlling its reciprocating motion through the rolling motion of the second roller assembly 7. It should be noted that the forward or backward speed of the intermediate conduit is the same as the rolling speed of the second roller assembly 7. Furthermore, during the rolling process, the second roller assembly 7 drives the gear on the second gear damper 8 to rotate. This provides a damping force to the second roller assembly 7, giving it a damped feel during rolling. This helps prevent slight hand tremors from negatively impacting the movement accuracy of the surgical robot and reduces surgical risks.

[0087] In another embodiment, the second roller assembly 7 includes a third support 701, a second roller 702, a fourth gear 703, a second roller 704, a fourth support 705, a second magnetic component 706, and a second encoder 707; the third support 701 is fixedly disposed within the main end housing 1, the second gear damper 8 is disposed on the third support 701, one end of the second roller 702 is rotatably connected to the third support 701, the fourth gear 703 is fixedly sleeved on the second roller 702 and meshes with the second gear damper 8, and the second roller is fixedly sleeved on the second roller 704. 2. The second roller 704 extends out of the main end housing 1. The fourth support 705 is opposite to the third support 701 and is fixedly disposed in the main end housing 1. The other end of the second roller 702 is rotatably connected to the fourth support 705. The second magnetic element 706 is disposed in the other end of the second roller 702. The second encoder 707 is disposed on the fourth support 705 and is electrically connected to the controller 3. The end of the second roller 702 with the second magnetic element 706 is coaxially disposed in the center hole of the second encoder 707 and a gap is left between them.

[0088] Specifically, in the second roller assembly 7, the second roller 704 and the second roller shaft 702 are fixed to each other. When the part of the second roller 704 extending outside the main end housing 1 is touched and rolled, the second roller 704 drives the second roller shaft 702 to rotate on the third support 701 and the fourth support 705. The fourth gear 703 on the second roller shaft 702 drives the second gear damper 8 to rotate. The second gear damper 8 feeds back the damping force to the second roller 704 through the fourth gear 703, so that the doctor has a certain resistance when rolling the second roller 704. The other end of the second roller shaft 702 is provided with a slot for receiving the second magnetic component 706. (Not shown) The second magnetic component 706 is coaxially mounted with the second encoder 707. The second magnetic component 706 is aligned with the chip of the second encoder 707, with a certain gap between them. When the second roller 704 rotates, driving the second roller 702 to rotate, the second magnetic component 706 mounted on the other end of the second roller 702 also rotates. The second encoder 707 collects the magnetic field changes generated when the second magnetic component 706 rotates, thereby collecting the rotation signal of the second roller 704. The second encoder 707 transmits the collected signal to the slave surgical robot through the controller 3, thereby controlling the forward or backward movement of the microcatheter and intermediate catheter. The second encoder 707 collects the magnetic field changes generated when the second magnetic component 706 rotates without mechanical contact, which can accurately capture details such as low speed and micro-rotation, avoiding the movement deviation of the slave surgical robot due to inaccurate sensing by the master control device.

[0089] Meanwhile, the second roller assembly 7 also includes a third bearing 708, a fourth bearing 709, a third isolation ring 710, and a fourth isolation ring 711. The third bearing 708 is mounted on the third support 701, and the fourth bearing 709 is mounted on the fourth support 705. The two ends of the second roller 702 are respectively connected to the third bearing 708 and the fourth bearing 709 to achieve rotation. The third isolation ring 710 is sleeved on one end of the second roller 702 and located between the fourth gear 703 and the third bearing 708, and is used to separate and limit the fourth gear 703 and the third bearing 708. The fourth isolation ring 711 is sleeved on the other end of the second roller 702 and located between the second roller 704 and the fourth bearing 709, and is used to separate and limit the second roller 704 and the fourth bearing 709. Since it is usually difficult to completely eliminate the axial clearance between the fourth gear 703 and the second roller 702 in mechanical assembly, the addition of a third isolation ring 710 can prevent the fourth gear 703 from shifting toward the third bearing 708 and avoid mutual friction between the fourth gear 703 and the third bearing 708. The fourth isolation ring 711 can prevent the fourth bearing 709 from shifting toward the second roller 704 and causing mutual friction, thus extending the service life of the second roller assembly 7.

[0090] In another embodiment, the second roller assembly 7 further includes a second support plate 712 and a second end cap 713. The second support plate 712 is disposed on the fourth support 705. One side of the second encoder 707 is disposed in the second mounting hole 7121 of the second support plate 712. The second end cap 713 is disposed on the second support plate 712, and the other side of the second encoder 707 is disposed in the second end cap 713. Specifically, the second support plate 712 is fixedly connected to the fourth support 705 by screws. One side of the second encoder 707 protrudes outward, and the protruding part of the second encoder 707 is embedded in the second mounting hole 7121. The second end cap 713 is fixedly connected to the second support plate 712 by screws and encloses the second encoder 707. The bottom side of the second end cap 713 has a notch for the wiring of the wire for electrical connection between the second encoder 707 and the controller 3. When it is necessary to disassemble the second encoder 707 for maintenance, only the second end cap 713 needs to be disassembled, which is simple and convenient.

[0091] Furthermore, in another embodiment of this invention, the main control device of the surgical robot further includes at least one third button 9 and at least one fourth button 10; the third button 9 is disposed on the surface of the main housing 1 and electrically connected to the controller 3, and is used to control the microcatheter and / or the intermediate catheter of the slave surgical robot to rotate forward; the fourth button 10 is disposed on the surface of the main housing 1 and electrically connected to the controller 3, and is used to control the microcatheter and / or the intermediate catheter of the slave surgical robot to rotate in reverse.

[0092] Specifically, in this embodiment, a third button 9 and a fourth button 10 are grouped together and matched with a second roller assembly 7. That is, each second roller assembly 7 has a third button 9 and a fourth button 10 on its left and right sides respectively. When it is necessary to control the microcatheter or intermediate catheter to rotate independently, the third button 9 or the fourth button 10 can be pressed and held. After releasing the third button 9 or the fourth button, the microcatheter stops rotating. When it is necessary to control the microcatheter or intermediate catheter to rotate while moving forward or backward, the third button 9 needs to be pressed and the second roller is rolled at the same time, or the fourth button 10 needs to be pressed and the second roller is rolled at the same time.

[0093] In another embodiment of this invention, the main control device of the surgical robot further includes a magnetic field switch 13 and an indicator light 15. The magnetic field switch 13 is disposed on the outside of the main housing 1 and electrically connected to the controller 3 to turn the magnetic field generator 11 on or off. The indicator light 15 is disposed on the outside of the main housing 1 and electrically connected to the controller 3 to display the on or off state of the magnetic field generator 11. For example, when the indicator light 15 is lit, the magnetic field generator 11 is in the on state, and when the light is off, the magnetic field generator 11 is in the off state.

[0094] Specifically, in one embodiment of this example, see details. Figure 1 The magnetic field switch 13 is a photoelectric switch, which is located around the trackball 12. When the operator touches the trackball 12, the limb will cover the photoelectric switch, and the photoelectric switch controls the magnetic field generator 11 to turn on. When the operator's hand leaves the trackball 12, the limb will no longer cover the photoelectric switch, and the photoelectric switch controls the magnetic field generator 11 to turn off. Furthermore, the main control device of the surgical robot in this embodiment also includes a human body induction switch 14, which is electrically connected to the controller 3 and is used to sense the human body to control the opening or closing of the photoelectric switch. For example, if the photoelectric switch needs to be activated, the heel of the palm can be placed on the human body induction switch 14. After the human body induction switch 14 senses the external pressure, it controls the photoelectric switch to open. When the palm leaves and the external pressure disappears, it controls the photoelectric switch to close.

[0095] In another embodiment of this example, see details. Figure 8 The magnetic field switch 13 is a push-button switch. The first press will turn on the magnetic field generator 11, and the second press will turn it off. See another embodiment for details. Figure 9 The magnetic field switch 13 is a pressure-sensitive switch. When the operator's limb touches and presses down, the pressure-sensitive switch turns on the magnetic field generator 11. When the limb is separated from the pressure-sensitive switch, the magnetic field generator 11 is turned off.

[0096] like Figures 6 to 9 As shown, in another embodiment of this invention, the main control device of the surgical robot further includes a damping shaft 16 and a display screen 17. The display screen 17 is rotatably connected to the main housing 1 via the damping shaft 16 and electrically connected to the controller 3. The display screen 17 can rotate freely via the damping shaft 16 and be fixed at any angle after rotation. In this embodiment, the display screen 17 is a touch screen and displays information related to the guidewire, microcatheter, and intermediate catheter in sections, such as forward and retraction distances, rotation angles, force feedback parameters, the magnetic field direction of the magnetic field generator 11, and whether each button is in an operational state. When a certain area is operated, that area will be highlighted. When the doctor does not need to operate, clicking the lock button (not shown) on the display screen 17 locks all the scroll wheels, buttons, and trackball 12. At this time, operating the scroll wheels, buttons, and trackball 12 is ineffective; operation is only effective after clicking the lock button on the display screen 17 again to unlock them.

[0097] Furthermore, the back of the display screen 17 is provided with a screen cable cover 18, and the outer side of the main end housing 1 is provided with a damping shaft cover 19. The fixed end of the damping shaft 16 is fixedly connected to the inside of the damping shaft cover 19, and the movable end of the damping shaft 16 is fixedly connected to the inside of the screen cable cover 18. The inside of the damping shaft 16 is hollow to form a wire hole 161, through which the wire connecting the display screen 17 and the controller 3 passes. Specifically, the mating structure of the damping shaft 16 with the screen cable cover 18 and the damping shaft cover 19 facilitates the storage of the wires between the display screen 17 and the controller 3, preventing the wires in the main end control device of the surgical robot from becoming tangled.

[0098] In another embodiment of this invention, the main control device of the surgical robot further includes a power cord interface 20, a network cable interface 21, and a power switch 22. The power cord interface 20, network cable interface 21, and power switch 22 are all located on the outside of the main housing 1 and are electrically connected to the controller 3, as detailed below. Figure 5 and Figure 10 Specifically, the main casing 1 includes a matching upper casing 101 and a lower casing 102. Each scroll wheel, each button, and the trackball 12 are respectively mounted on the upper casing 101. The power cord interface 20, the network cable interface 21, and the power switch 22 are respectively mounted on the side of the lower casing 102 to prevent the network cable and power cord from interfering with the doctor's operation. The power switch 22 is used to cut off the power supply between the outside and the controller 3.

[0099] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the main control device of the surgical robot also includes an emergency stop switch 23, which is disposed on the outside of the main housing 1 and electrically connected to the controller 3. The emergency stop switch 23 is used to simultaneously cut off the power supply connecting the main control device of the surgical robot to the outside world and the power supply connecting the slave surgical robot to the outside world.
