[0022] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0023] Example 1: A depth measurement puncture needle simulation effector, see Figures 1 to 5 .
[0024] It includes a rod-shaped or plate-shaped conductive inner core 5, an array spring plate 7 with a plurality of springs 6 arranged at intervals, a simulator shell 1, and a collection controller 8. The simulator shell 1 is tubular and has an upper end opening. The array springs are located in the simulator shell, and the array springs are electrically connected to the collection controller 8. During operation, the inner core 5 can be inserted into the simulator shell 1 through the upper end opening of the simulator shell 1 and electrically contact with at least one spring 6 in the array springs. When the inner core 5 gradually moves downward from the upper end to the lower end of the simulator shell 1, the inner core 5 contacts the springs 6 on the array springs in sequence, and the number of contacts gradually increases, resulting in resistance changes. The collection controller 8 electrically contacts the array springs and collects the resistance change value of the array springs and then outputs it. The matrix spring plate 7 is made of insulating material. The electrical connection mode of the springs on the matrix spring plate is (spring-resistance-spring-resistance...), the first spring is applied with a voltage V (the voltage range can be within the controller collection voltage range), and the last spring is connected to the collection controller 8. Each time the inner core 5 is inserted into a spring sheet spacing (the smaller the spacing, the higher the accuracy), that is, each time a spring sheet contact is added to the inner core 5, the effective resistance in series on the entire matrix spring sheet board will decrease by 1 resistance value (there is no specific restriction on the resistance value, assuming that the resistance value is R ohms), and the derivation process of converting the resistance change into the depth H is: Assuming that the current voltage collected by the acquisition controller 8 is v volts, the number of short-circuited resistors is (N is the total number of resistors, V is the voltage applied by the spring), that is, the insertion depth (where L is the total length of the matrix shrapnel), that is, the complete formula is depth
[0025] Specifically, the array spring piece in the present design includes a plate-shaped or rod-shaped metal body 7, a plurality of spring pieces 6 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the metal body 7, and the fixing portion of the spring piece 6 is fixed to the metal body 7, the contact end 9 of the spring piece 6 is suspended in an arc shape, and the contact end 9 of the spring piece is bent toward the metal body 7, see Figure 5 shown.
[0026] The acquisition controller 8 in this design includes a single chip microcomputer and peripheral circuits. The acquisition controller 8 is installed in the acquisition controller housing 3 and realizes the conversion and output of the resistance signal. The acquisition controller 3 housing is threaded or plugged into the bottom of the simulator housing 1. At the same time, a magnetic connector 4 is connected to the bottom of the acquisition controller housing 3. The acquisition controller 8 is electrically connected to the magnetic connector 3, and the magnetic connector 4 is convenient for connecting with external devices for data communication.
[0027] Furthermore, the inner core 5 in the present design is in the shape of a metal rod or plate and a gripping end 2 is provided at the top of the inner core, and the gripping end 2 facilitates the gripping and operation of the inner core 5 .
[0028] Example 2, a depth measurement puncture needle simulation effect system, see Figure 6 This embodiment uses the depth measurement puncture needle simulation effector described in Example 1.
[0029] It also includes a force feedback device and a VR teaching system. The depth measurement puncture needle simulation effector is connected to the force feedback device through an acquisition controller. The output end of the force feedback device is connected to the VR teaching system and the data output by the force feedback device is displayed as a virtual puncture needle in a VR environment. The inner heart insertion depth of the virtual puncture needle in the VR environment is synchronized with the inner heart insertion depth of the depth measurement puncture needle simulation effector.
[0030] In a specific implementation, the acquisition controller is communicatively connected to the force feedback device via a magnetic connector.
[0031] During operation of the system, the inner core 5 is held and slowly and gradually inserted into the simulator shell 1 through the upper opening of the simulator shell 1. After insertion, the inner core is in electrical contact with the spring pieces 6 in the array spring pieces, and when the inner core 5 gradually moves downward from the upper end to the lower end of the simulator shell 1, the inner core 5 contacts the spring pieces 6 on the array spring pieces in turn, and the number of contacts gradually increases and causes resistance changes. During this process, the inner core of the puncture needle is above the matrix spring pieces and in close contact with the spring pieces, and they form a sliding resistor. The depth measurement puncture needle simulation effector converts the insertion depth of the inner core into a resistance value change value through the number of spring pieces that contact the array spring pieces. When the inner core of the puncture needle is moved, the number of spring pieces contacted by the inner core of the puncture needle changes. The resistance values they constitute change, and the acquisition controller 8 is in electrical contact with the array shrapnel and acquires the resistance change value of the array shrapnel and its own ID data and then outputs it, and outputs it to the force feedback device through the magnetic connector. The force feedback device receives the depth data of the inner core insertion and outputs it to the display device. After the display device recognizes the ID of the depth measurement puncture needle simulation effector and the inner core insertion depth of the puncture needle in the VR environment, a virtual puncture needle will be displayed. The virtual puncture needle insertion depth is synchronized with the depth measurement puncture needle simulation effector. The above method is used to combine the existing VR technology with medical teaching courses to improve students' practical operation level.
[0032] The embodiments of the present invention disclose preferred embodiments, but are not limited thereto. A person skilled in the art can easily understand the spirit of the present invention based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and changes. However, as long as they do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
