Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of surgical electrode sharpening devices, in particular to a plasma surgical electrode coating blade sharpening device. Background Art

[0002] Plasma surgical electrodes are primarily used for tissue cutting and hemostasis by electrocoagulation. They are widely used in clinical practice and their application is growing. They have dual functions of cutting and coagulation. Currently, existing plasma surgical electrodes are used not only in open-view surgery but also in endoscopic procedures such as laparoscopy.

[0003] The principle of plasma technology for cutting and coagulation is that a main generator generates high-frequency, high-voltage pulses, which are transmitted through the electrode port to the cutting edge of the electrode blade. A localized, high-voltage electric field is formed between the blade tip and the tissue being cut. The electric field intensity reaches the threshold for plasma generation, ionizing the electrolytes in the air and tissue near the blade tip, generating a plasma avalanche effect (the ions of plasma are mainly oxygen ions OH-, hydrogen ions H+, Na+, Cl-, etc.) and electron transitions. The plasma is accelerated in the strong electric field, gaining sufficient kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of the ions impacts tissue cells, breaking the molecular bonds between the cells, and achieving the effect of tissue cutting and hemostasis.

[0004] The insulating coating covering the surface of plasma surgical electrodes is a nano-water-based coating with very strong flow properties. It is difficult for thick coatings to stick to the blade edge. Therefore, after spraying, the coating thickness at the blade tip is thinner than that on other surfaces. However, the thin coating accumulated at the blade tip hinders the flow of charge, resulting in a weakened electric field at the blade tip, which cannot reach the threshold voltage required for plasma generation, affecting the cutting effect of the plasma surgical electrode.

[0005] In addition, due to the instability of the coating manufacturing process, several additional production processes will be added, which can easily lead to the blade being covered with more coating, forming a gap at the tip of the blade. The presence of the gap will increase the distance between the metal blade tip and the tissue, reduce the field strength at the tissue contact point, and affect the plasma cutting effect. In response to these current situations, many manufacturers currently use a coating sharpening method, which involves rubbing the blade edge with a rough file to remove the coating on the blade tip surface through friction. This method has the advantages of being easy to operate and low in price, but the workmanship is crude, the product qualification rate is low, and it is very easy to damage the coating. In addition, the amount of coating removal cannot be accurately determined, which can easily lead to "oversaturated sharpening" and reduce the field strength at the plasma generation point, affecting the smoothness of tissue cutting and increasing thermal damage to the tissue. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a plasma surgical electrode coating blade sharpening device, which is used to solve the problem of incomplete or oversaturated sharpening of the blade edge.

[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0008] A plasma surgical electrode coating blade sharpening device includes an insulating base, a mounting groove is provided on the insulating base, a terminal A is provided in the mounting groove, a conductive groove is provided on the side of the mounting groove, a conductive seat is slidably provided on the side wall of the conductive groove, and a conductive probe is provided on the side of the conductive seat.

[0009] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the shape of the conductive groove is similar to the shape of the blade to be sharpened, wherein a roller skating guide rail is provided on the outside of the conductive groove, and the conductive seat is slidably set on the roller skating guide rail through a slider, and the shape of the roller skating guide rail is similar to the shape of the side wall of the conductive groove.

[0010] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, a terminal B is provided on the conductive seat, and the terminal B is electrically connected to the conductive probe. A tip is provided at one end of the conductive probe, and the tip of the conductive probe is located on the same horizontal plane as the cutting edge of the blade; the terminal A and the terminal B are respectively connected to the positive and negative poles of the power supply.

[0011] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the distance between the tip of the conductive probe and the cutting edge of the cutter head is 100 μm-1000 μm; the thickness of the tip of the conductive probe is consistent with the curvature radius of the cutting edge of the cutter head.

[0012] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the tip of the conductive probe is arc-shaped, and the thickness of the flat tip is consistent with the curvature radius of the cutting edge of the tool head.

[0013] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the tip of the conductive probe is planar, and the thickness of the arc-shaped tip is consistent with the curvature radius of the cutting edge of the tool head.

[0014] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the tip of the conductive probe is in a groove shape, and the thickness of the arc-shaped tip is consistent with the curvature radius of the cutting edge of the tool head.

[0015] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the diameter of the terminal A is consistent with the diameter of the positioning hole at the tail of the cutter head.

[0016] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, one end of the mounting groove is connected to the conductive groove.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: since the thickness of the blade tip is relatively thin, the coating adhesion there is the weakest, the coating thickness is the thinnest, and the impedance is the lowest. According to the principle that charges tend to flow in the direction of low impedance, under the action of the electric field, the positive charges are oriented and enriched at the edge of the blade tip. The larger the electric field, the greater the kinetic energy of the charge, and the movement of the charge impacts the surface coating. When the kinetic energy reaches a certain level, the charge breaks through the coating to form a discharge, and the coating falls off due to the impact. Therefore, the thin coating at the tip is broken through the principle of instantaneous high-voltage discharge to the air, and the main chain of the coating is easily broken under the impact of the high-voltage electron wave, thereby causing the separation of the tip coating, realizing the conduction of the tip of the blade, and achieving the effect of sharpening. At the same time, since the thickness of the conductive probe tip is controlled, it is possible to avoid the situation of oversaturated sharpening caused by using a file for sharpening.
