[0047] Embodiment 1

[0048] As Figure 1 shown, according to the embodiment of the utility model, a kind of conveyor 100 is proposed, which is used to convey medical instrument.The medical instrument can be valve, blood vessel stent, occluder etc.In this embodiment, valve 2001 is taken as an example.

[0049] As Figure 2 shown, the conveyor 100 includes handle assembly 10, outer sheath assembly 20, core tube assembly 30, containing head 40 and inner rod 50.Handle assembly 10 has containing cavity 101, the proximal end of the outer sheath assembly 20, the proximal end of core tube assembly 30 and the proximal end of inner rod 50 are contained in the containing cavity 101.

[0050] Specifically, the proximal end of core tube assembly 30 is connected with handle assembly 10, outer sheath assembly 20 is sleeved on core tube assembly 30, and first receiving part 201 is defined between the distal end of outer sheath assembly 20 and core tube assembly 30 along the circumferential direction, inner rod 50 is arranged inside core tube assembly 30, the distal end of inner rod 50 passes through the distal end of core tube assembly 30, containing head 40 is connected to the distal end of inner rod 50, containing head 40 is arranged axially spaced apart from core tube assembly 30, the distal end of containing head 40 is provided with second receiving part 401, the proximal end of valve 2001 is received in first receiving part 201, and the distal end of valve 2001 is received in second receiving part 401. Among them, in other embodiments, handle assembly 10 can not be provided, by manually fixing the proximal end of outer sheath assembly 20, the proximal end of core tube assembly 30 and the proximal end of inner rod 50, so as to manually control the positional relationship of outer sheath assembly 20, core tube assembly 30 and inner rod 50, the accommodation and release of valve 2001 can also be realized.

[0051] The delivery device 100 further comprises a first driving assembly 60 and a second driving assembly 70. The first driving assembly 60 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 101 and connected with the sheath assembly 20, and the first driving assembly 60 is capable of driving the sheath assembly 20 to move towards the proximal end relative to the core tube assembly 30 to release the proximal end of the valve. The second driving assembly 70 is movably arranged in the handle assembly 10 and connected with the proximal end of the inner rod 50, and the second driving assembly 70 is capable of driving the inner rod 50 to move axially relative to the core tube assembly 30 to push the accommodating head 40 away from the core tube assembly 30 to release the distal end of the valve. It can be understood that the delivery device can comprise one of the first driving assembly 60 or the second driving assembly 70, when the delivery device only comprises the first driving assembly 60 for releasing the proximal end of the valve, and the proximal end of the inner rod 50 is manually controlled to drive the inner rod 50 to move axially relative to the core tube assembly 30 to release the distal end of the valve; when the delivery device only comprises the second driving assembly 70 for releasing the distal end of the valve, and the proximal end of the sheath assembly 20 is manually controlled to drive the sheath assembly 20 to move towards the proximal end relative to the core tube assembly 30 to release the proximal end of the valve.

[0052] As shown in Figure 3 , the first driving assembly 60 comprises a first elastic member 61 and a control member 62, one end of the first elastic member 61 is connected with the sheath assembly 20, the other end of the first elastic member 61 is connected with the handle assembly 10, and the control member 62 is movably arranged in the accommodating cavity 101 and stopper-fitted with the proximal end of the sheath assembly 20, so that the control member 62 is capable of being switched between a first position and a second position. When the control member 62 is in the first position (as shown in Figure 4 ), the proximal end of the sheath assembly 20 abuts against the control member 62, and the first elastic member 61 is in a compressed state to apply an elastic force towards the proximal end side to the fitting member 22 of the sheath assembly 20, the control member 62 is used to block the sheath assembly 20 from moving towards the proximal end, and the proximal end of the sheath assembly 20 is pushed against the control member 62 by the elastic driving force of the first elastic member 61 to keep the sheath assembly 20 in a fixed state relative to the handle assembly 10 and the core tube assembly 30, at this time, the sheath assembly 20 is in a third position. When the control member 62 is in the second position (as shown in Figure 5 ), the proximal end of the sheath assembly 20 is separated from the control member 62, the first elastic member 61 is stretched and drives the sheath assembly 20 to move towards the proximal end relative to the handle assembly 10 to make the sheath assembly 20 move from the third position to a fourth position, thereby releasing the proximal end of the valve. In the embodiment, only the control member 62 needs to be moved from the first position to the second position to drive the sheath assembly 20 to move by the elastic force of the first elastic member 61, so that the releasing operation process of the valve is simple and fast.

[0053] As shown in Figure 2As shown, the conveyor 100 further includes a buffer 90, which is at least partially fixedly connected to the core tube assembly 30 or directly fixedly connected. When the outer sheath assembly 20 moves toward the proximal end, the buffer 90 produces a buffering effect on the outer sheath assembly 20. In this embodiment, the core tube assembly 30 is indirectly fixedly connected to the buffer 90. Specifically, the conveyor 100 further includes a guide member 80, which is arranged in the accommodating cavity 101 and is arranged near the proximal end of the accommodating cavity 101. The guide member 80 is fixedly connected to the handle assembly 10. The guide member 80 is a tubular structure as a whole, so that the inner rod 50 can pass through the guide member 80 and be connected to the second drive assembly 70. The proximal end of the core tube assembly 30 is fixedly connected to the guide member 80. The buffer 90 is at least partially fixedly connected to the guide member 80, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, when the outer sheath assembly 20 moves toward the proximal end, the buffer member 90 produces a buffering effect on the outer sheath assembly 20.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, in the present embodiment, the buffer member 90 is sleeved outside the guide member 80, and the buffer member 90 includes silicone or rubber. When the outer sheath assembly 20 moves rapidly toward the proximal end under the drive of the first elastic member 61, the proximal end of the outer sheath assembly 20 first contacts the buffer member 90, and the buffer member 90 has good elasticity, produces a buffering effect on the outer sheath assembly 20, and avoids the outer sheath assembly 20 from rigidly colliding with the guide member 80. The conveyor 100 of the present invention drives the outer sheath assembly 20 to move rapidly toward the proximal end by the first elastic member 61 of the first driving assembly 60, which can reduce the time required for current surgical operations, and the buffer 90 can produce a buffering effect on the outer sheath assembly 20, improve the stability of the conveyor 100 when releasing medical equipment, and can avoid the impact force of the conveyor 100 from having an adverse effect on the patient. In other embodiments, the buffer is sleeved outside the core tube assembly (ie, the buffer is directly connected to the core tube assembly), and when the outer sheath assembly moves toward the proximal end, the outer sheath assembly first abuts against the buffer.

[0055] In other embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the buffer member 90a includes a columnar buffer body 910a, which includes an axially extending assembly hole 911a for accommodating the guide member 80. The buffer body 910a also includes a plurality of grooves 912a, which are recessed inward from the outer circumference of the buffer body 910a and extend along the circumference of the buffer body 910a. The addition of the grooves 912a can further improve the softness of the 912a, thereby minimizing the rigid collision between the outer sheath assembly 20 and the guide member 80.

[0056] In the embodiment, during the installation of the valve, first, the proximal end of the valve is compressed, the proximal end of the valve is fixed on the outer circumferential surface of the distal end of the core tube assembly 30, then the outer sheath assembly 20 is moved from the fourth position to the third position to jointly clamp and fix the proximal end of the valve by the outer sheath assembly 20 and the core tube assembly 30, so that the proximal end of the valve is in the first receiving portion 201; then the accommodation head 40 is installed on the distal end of the inner rod 50, and the inner rod 50 is driven by the second driving assembly 70 to move towards the proximal end side to pull the accommodation head 40 to be close to the core tube assembly 30, so that the distal end of the compressed valve is stretched into the second receiving portion 401, and the installation of the valve is completed. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the distal end of the valve can be first installed into the second receiving portion 401, and then the proximal end of the valve is installed into the first receiving portion 201.

[0057] It should be noted that, during the release of the valve, the outer sheath assembly 20 is driven to move by operating the first driving assembly 60 to release the proximal end of the valve, and the accommodation head 40 is driven to move by operating the second driving assembly 70 to release the distal end of the valve. Therefore, the delivery device 100 provided in the embodiment can sequentially release the distal end and the proximal end of the valve by operating the second driving assembly 70 and the first driving assembly 60, that is, the distal end of the valve is released by operating the second driving assembly 70 first, and then the proximal end of the valve is released by operating the first driving assembly 60, so that when the distal end of the valve is released, if there is a large deviation in the deployment position of the valve, the valve in the half-deployed state (i.e., the state that the distal end of the valve is deployed, and the proximal end of the valve is bunched in the first receiving portion 201) can still be pulled or pushed by the core tube assembly 30 and the outer sheath assembly 20 to adjust the position of the valve, and when the valve reaches the ideal position, the proximal end of the valve is finally released, so that the position accuracy of the released valve is more accurate, and the quality of the operation is improved.

[0058] In an exemplary embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The control member 62 includes a main body portion 621 and a pressing portion 622 connected to each other, the main body portion 621 is movably arranged in the accommodation cavity 101, and the pressing portion 622 is arranged outside the accommodation cavity 101 by penetrating the handle assembly 10 away from the main body portion 621. Therefore, during the release of the valve, the proximal end of the valve can be released by only pressing the pressing portion 622 outside the accommodation cavity 101 to move the main body portion 621 from the first position to the second position, which is simple and fast in operation, and is beneficial to shorten the operation time and reduce the operation risk.

[0059] In the embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, the first driving assembly 60 further comprises a second elastic member 63. At least one first spring sleeve connecting column 623 is arranged on the main body part 621, and a second spring sleeve connecting column (not shown in the figure) is arranged on the inner wall of the handle assembly 10 opposite to the first spring sleeve connecting column 623. The two second elastic members 63 are respectively sleeved on the first spring sleeve connecting column 623 and the second spring sleeve connecting column 624, and the two ends of the second elastic member 63 are respectively abutted against the main body part 621 and the inner wall of the handle assembly 10, and the elastic driving force of the second elastic member 63 in the compressed state pushes the main body part 621 to abut against the inner wall of the handle assembly 10, so that the control member 62 can be kept at the first position (as shown in Figure 4 When the pressing part 622 is pressed, the control member 62 moves to the second position (as shown in Figure 5 In this embodiment, during the process of releasing the valve, only the pressing part 622 outside the accommodation cavity 101 needs to be pressed to move the main body part 621 from the first position to the second position to release the proximal end of the valve, which is simple and fast, and is beneficial to shorten the operation time and reduce the operation risk.

[0060] In other embodiments, the first clamping structure (not shown in the figure) and the second clamping structure (not shown in the figure) are arranged at intervals on the inner wall of the handle assembly 10, and the main body part 621 is arranged on the third clamping structure (not shown in the figure). The third clamping structure can be clamped with the first clamping structure and the second clamping structure respectively. When the third clamping structure is clamped with the first clamping structure, the control member 62 is at the first position, and when the third clamping structure is clamped with the second clamping structure, the control member 62 is at the second position. The first clamping structure and the second clamping structure can be clamping grooves, and the third clamping structure is a clamping buckle matched with the clamping grooves. Through the clamping form, the control member 62 is in the clamping state at the first position and the second position, so that the control member 62 is in a relatively firm locking state at the first position and the second position, thereby reducing the probability of loosening the valve due to accidental touch of the control member 62 during the valve implantation process.

[0061] Further, as shown in Figure 3 The outer sheath assembly 20 comprises an outer sheath tube 21 and a matching member 22. Specifically, the outer sheath tube 21 is sleeved outside the core tube assembly 30, and the proximal end of the outer sheath tube 21 is movably arranged in the accommodation cavity 101. The matching member 22 is arranged in the accommodation cavity 101 and sleeved outside the outer sheath tube 21 and located at the proximal end of the outer sheath tube 21, in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, the fitting piece 22 includes a first stop portion 2211 at the distal end and a second stop portion 224 at the proximal end. The first elastic member 61 is sleeved outside the outer sheath 21, and the distal end of the first elastic member 61 abuts against the protruding structure 110 on the inner wall of the handle assembly 10, and the proximal end of the first elastic member 61 in the compressed state abuts against the first stop portion 2211, and the main body portion 621 of the control member 62 abuts against the second stop portion 224. In other embodiments, the fitting piece can not be provided, and the first stop portion and the second stop portion can be directly provided at the proximal end of the outer sheath 21.

[0062] The first elastic member 61 can be a spiral spring, and can also be a spring sheet or the like. In the embodiment, the fitting piece 22 is in abutting cooperation with the first elastic member 61 and the control member 62 respectively, and the first elastic member 61 is used as the driving force for the movement of the outer sheath 21, so that the overall structure of the delivery device 100 is compact, the production cost is reduced, the operation is simple, the surgical operation procedure is simplified, and the operation time is shortened. In other embodiments, the distal end of the first elastic member 61 can abut against the inner wall of the handle assembly 10.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 The fitting piece 22 is tubular as a whole, and includes a first stepped structure 221, a second stepped structure 222 and a third stepped structure 223 which are sequentially arranged from the distal end to the proximal end and have diameters decreasing in sequence. The proximal end of the outer sheath 21 is inserted into the second stepped structure 222 and fixedly connected with the second stepped structure 222. The distal end face of the first stepped structure 221 forms the first stop portion 2211 which protrudes from the outer wall of the outer sheath 21, so that the proximal end of the first elastic member 61 abuts against the first stop portion 2211. The second stop portion 224 is a protruding structure provided on the outer periphery of the proximal end of the third stepped structure 223. In other embodiments, the proximal end of the outer sheath 21 can be directly connected and fixed with the distal end of the fitting piece 22.

[0064] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 , the inner wall of the handle assembly 10 is provided with a first protruding rib 121 extending in the circumferential direction, and the first protruding rib 121 is located at the distal end of the control member 62. The fitting piece 22 passes through the first protruding rib 121 and can move in the axial direction relative to the first protruding rib 121. When the fitting piece 22 moves towards the proximal end, the proximal end of the fitting piece 22 abuts against the buffer 90. When the fitting piece 22 moves towards the distal end, the second stop portion 224 abuts against the proximal end of the first protruding rib 121. The first protruding rib 121 and the buffer 90 are used to limit the movement range of the outer sheath assembly 20, so as to accurately control the movement range of the outer sheath 21, and make the release process of the valve more accurate.

[0065] Further, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in Figure 4 As shown in Figure 5 As shown in

[0066] In the present embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in
