[0054] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives and effects of the utility model, the specific implementation manners of the utility model will be described with reference to the drawings, and the same reference numerals in the drawings represent the same or similar components with the same function.

[0055] In the present text, "schematic" means "serving as an example, illustration or explanation" and any illustration, embodiment described as "schematic" in the present text should not be interpreted as a more preferred or more advantageous technical solution.

[0056] In the present text, "first", "second", etc. do not indicate their importance or order, etc., but are only used to distinguish each other for the description of the file.

[0057] For the sake of simplicity of the drawings, only the parts related to the present application are shown in the drawings, which do not represent the actual structure of the product.

[0058] Figure 1 Structure diagram of a schematic embodiment of the performance detection auxiliary tool for the cryoablation needle. As shown in Figure 1 , the performance detection auxiliary tool 100 for the cryoablation needle includes a gauge rod 10 and four adjusting seats 30 (only two of which are shown Figure 1 schematically). The gauge rod 10 extends along a gauge direction D and has a scale 11 arranged along the gauge direction D. Each adjusting seat 30 is movably arranged on the gauge rod 10 along the gauge direction D and the opposite direction of the gauge direction D. Each adjusting seat 30 is used to install a temperature measuring wire of a temperature measuring device.

[0059] Figure 2 Part structure of the performance detection auxiliary tool shown in Figure 1 , a partial sectional view of which is shown, wherein the sectional plane is perpendicular to the gauge direction D. Figure 2 In the figure, the temperature measuring wire 91 installed on the adjusting seat 30 is shown by a dashed line, and the lower end thereof is a temperature measuring end.

[0060] Figure 3 The use state of the performance detection auxiliary tool shown in Figure 1 is shown. Figure 3 In the figure, the dotted shaded part represents a gel, which represents human tissue. During detection, the cryoablation needle 200 is inserted into the gel. The position of the gauge rod 10 is fixed so that the gauge direction D is perpendicular to the cryoablation needle 200. The temperature measuring wire 91 is installed on the adjusting seat 30 in a manner that it is parallel to the cryoablation needle 200, and the temperature measuring ends (A, B, C and D) of the temperature measuring wire 91 and the theoretical refrigeration center O of the cryoablation needle 200 are located on the same straight line (shown by a dashed line in the figure) parallel to the gauge direction D. The straight line distance between the temperature measuring ends (A, B, C and D) and the theoretical refrigeration center O of the cryoablation needle 200 can be calculated according to the scale on the gauge rod 10. The position of the adjusting seat 30 on the gauge rod 10 is adjusted as needed. Finally, the cryoablation needle 200 is started to freeze, and the ice ball (shown by a dotted circle in the figure) formed by the cryoablation needle 200 can be measured by the temperature measuring wire 91. Figure 3During the ice ball formation process, the temperature at the positions of the temperature measuring ends (A, B, C and D) changes with time. Since the temperature change is directly related to the ice ball formation, the temperature change can be used to indicate the ice ball formation performance of the cryoablation needle.

[0061] The performance detection auxiliary tool for the cryoablation needle can be used to more accurately detect the ice ball formation performance of the cryoablation needle.

[0062] In other exemplary embodiments, the number of adjustment seats 30 can be adjusted as needed, which can be one, two or three, or more than four.

[0063] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the exemplary embodiment, the adjustment seat 30 is slidably sleeved on the measurement rod 10 in the measurement direction D and the reverse direction of the measurement direction D. This can improve the stability. However, the adjustment seat 30 can also be movably arranged on the measurement rod 10 by other structures in other exemplary embodiments.

[0064] As shown in Figure 2 In the exemplary embodiment, the circumferential surface of the measurement rod 10 is composed of two parallel planes (i.e. the planes on the left and right sides in Figure 2 ) and two opposite convex arc surfaces (i.e. the arc surfaces on the upper and lower sides in Figure 2 ). This can improve the smoothness of the sliding of the adjustment seat.

[0065] As shown in Figure 2 In the exemplary embodiment, each adjustment seat 30 has a sliding hole 311 for slidingly cooperating with the measurement rod 10. The measurement rod 10 has four side edges 13 (only one of which is schematically indicated in Figure 2 ). The hole wall of the sliding hole 311 is concavely provided with four through grooves 313 (only one of which is schematically indicated in Figure 2 ) respectively opposite to the four side edges 13, so as to form a clearance between the groove wall of the through groove 313 and the side edge 13. This can reduce the jam caused by machining errors during sliding.

[0066] As shown in Figure 2 In the exemplary embodiment, each adjustment seat 30 includes a moving block 31 and a cannula 32. The moving block 31 is movably sleeved on the measurement rod 10 in the measurement direction D and the reverse direction of the measurement direction D. The cannula 32 is connected to the moving block 31 and is used to install a temperature measuring wire 91 of a temperature measuring device. The cannula 32 is arranged on the side of the measurement rod 10 facing the scale 11 (see Figure 1 ), so as to be convenient for observation. As shown in Figure 2As shown, the insertion tube 32 has an insertion hole 321 extending and penetrating along an installation direction A perpendicular to the measurement direction D. The temperature measuring wire 91 passes through the insertion tube 32 and is fixed in position by friction with the wall of the insertion hole 321. The front end of the temperature measuring wire 91 along the installation direction A (i.e., Figure 2 The lower end of the tube is used for temperature measurement. This allows the temperature measuring wire 91 to be installed at an angle perpendicular to the measuring direction D on the insertion tube 32.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, in this illustrative embodiment, the insertion tube 32 is movably inserted into the movable block 31 along installation direction A and the opposite direction of installation direction A. The rear end of the insertion tube 32 along installation direction A (i.e., Figure 2 The upper end of the tube 32 is provided with a radially protruding overlapping portion 322. The overlapping portion 322 can overlap the movable block 31 in the installation direction A to limit the relative movement between the tube 32 and the movable block 31. In use, the temperature measuring wire 91 can be installed on the tube 32 first, and then the tube 32 can be installed on the movable block 31, thereby facilitating the installation of the temperature measuring wire 91. The overlapping portion 322 can facilitate the restriction of the tube 32 relative to the movable block 31 in the installation position (i.e., Figure 2 (as shown in the diagram). However, this is not the only embodiment; in other illustrative embodiments, the cannula 32 may also be permanently fixed to the movable block 31.

[0068] like Figure 1 As shown in this illustrative embodiment, the performance testing aid also includes a mounting bracket 50 and an adjusting bracket 70. The mounting bracket 50 is used to connect an external support rod 92. The external support rod 92 is, for example, a support rod of an iron stand, but is not limited thereto.

[0069] The mounting bracket 50 is configured to be adjustable in position relative to the fixed position of the external support rod 92 along the axial direction X of the external support rod 92. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, in this illustrative embodiment, the fixing frame 50 includes a main body 51, a clamping block 52, and two first fixing bolts. Figure 1 (Not visible in the middle). Figure 4 for Figure 1 The top view of a portion of the structure of the performance testing aid tool shown is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the main body 51 is formed with a first circular-arc groove 511 extending along the axial direction X of the external support rod 92. The clamping block 52 is formed with a second circular-arc groove 521 extending along the axial direction X of the external support rod 92. The main body 51 and the clamping block 52 can clamp the cylindrical external support rod 92 by the groove faces of the first circular-arc groove 511 and the second circular-arc groove 521 oppositely. The first fixing bolt 53 connects the main body 51 and the clamping block 52 to fix the relative position of the main body 51 and the clamping block 52. This structure is simple and has good stability. In addition, the cylindrical external support rod 92 can be clamped by the groove faces of the first circular-arc groove 511 and the second circular-arc groove 521 oppositely, so that the angle adjustment of the fixing frame 50 around the axis of the external support rod 92 can be realized. In the illustrative embodiment, the axial direction X of the external support rod 92 is parallel to the mounting direction A, but is not limited thereto.

[0070] As shown in Figure 1 , the adjusting frame 70 is connected to the fixing frame 50 and is adjustable relative to the fixed position of the fixing frame 50 along the adjusting direction T. The measurement rod 10 is fixedly connected to the adjusting frame 70. As shown in Figure 4 , specifically, in the illustrative embodiment, the main body 51 further has two adjusting portions 513. Figure 5 As shown in Figure 1 , the cross-sectional view of the performance detection auxiliary tool, wherein the cross-sectional plane is perpendicular to the adjusting direction T, as shown in Figure 5 , each adjusting portion 513 has two clamping arms 5131 oppositely arranged. A clamping hole 5132 through along the adjusting direction T is formed between the two clamping arms 5131. The adjusting frame 70 has two support rods 71 (see Figure 1 ). Each support rod 71 movably penetrates the clamping hole 5132 along the adjusting direction T and the opposite direction of the adjusting direction T. The fixing frame 50 further includes two second fixing bolts 54. Each second fixing bolt 54 connects the two clamping arms 5131 of one adjusting portion 513 to clamp and fix the support rod 71. This structure is simple and facilitates adjustment. As shown in Figure 1 , the two support rods 71 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the measurement rod 10 along the measurement direction D. The fixing frame and the adjusting frame facilitate the fixing and position adjustment of the measurement rod.

[0071] As shown in Figure 1 , in the illustrative embodiment, the performance detection auxiliary tool further includes four third fixing bolts 80 (only two of which are schematically shown in Figure 1 ). As shown in Figure 2As shown, each third fixing bolt 80 is screwed to the moving block 31 of an adjusting seat 30 and can fix the position of the adjusting seat 30 on the measuring rod 10 by abutting against the measuring rod 10. In this way, the position of the adjusting seat 30 on the measuring rod 10 can be fixed conveniently. In the present illustrative embodiment, the third fixing bolts 80 on the adjacent adjusting seats 30 are arranged on different sides of the adjusting seats 30 to avoid mutual interference in space.
