[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cardiac radiofrequency ablation equipment, and more specifically, to a vascular intervention robot slave-end auxiliary subsystem for cardiac ablation surgery. Background Art

[0002] Cardiac radiofrequency ablation (catheterradiofrequency ablation) is an interventional technology that inserts an electrode catheter into a specific part of the heart cavity through a vein or artery, releases radiofrequency current to cause local endocardial and subendocardial myocardial coagulative necrosis, and blocks the abnormal conduction bundle and origin point of rapid arrhythmia.

[0003] In the prior art, the main problem is that although the existing products have integrated a force feedback system, that is, a force sensor is added to the terminal drive structure to generate a "sense of touch" on the doctor's end, there is a lack of structure to support, guide, and position the catheter during catheter intervention, such as a cardiac radiofrequency ablation catheter contact force control device with patent application number 202210431033.6. This makes it impossible to transmit the force applied to the catheter by the control unit during catheter intervention well, so that the control effect during catheter intervention is also affected simultaneously, increasing the difficulty and time of intervention.
