[0006] It also includes a torque generating mechanism, which includes a motor, a semi-circular lever arm, and a line.

[0017] This invention utilizes a delta parallel mechanism in conjunction with a synchronous puncture needle for puncture training. The delta parallel mechanism is characterized by its compact structure, high speed, and high precision. Its high speed, low inertia, and high accuracy make it suitable for high-precision puncture tasks. The delta parallel mechanism consists of three identical rectangular arms and a connecting component, resulting in a low overall weight-to-load ratio and good dynamic performance, enabling rapid and repeated puncture operations within a limited space. Furthermore, due to its inherent structural characteristics, the delta parallel mechanism has the advantage of no cumulative error, ensuring synchronous accuracy across multiple puncture training sessions. By incorporating a torque generation mechanism that uses a linear drive to provide feedback on the puncture motion, and using a spring to compensate for line tension, the accuracy of feedback for multiple puncture movements is effectively improved.

This invention accurately simulates force feedback during puncture training, providing a more realistic training effect, and maintains high application accuracy even with repeated use. It is suitable for medical student training and has excellent market potential. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportions, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and purposes that this utility model can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this utility model.
[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a puncture training device based on a delta parallel mechanism, including a base 1 and a base 2 connected to the base 1. A support 3 is provided on the front of the base 2, and an outer casing 10 is also fitted on the front of the base 2. A puncture casing 11 is provided on the outer casing 10, and a puncture needle 5 is movably inserted into the puncture casing 11 via a bearing component 12. Specifically, the puncture casing 11 has holes, and the bearing component 12 is installed in the holes of the puncture casing 11. The bearing component 12 is a fisheye bearing, allowing the puncture needle 5 to move at multiple angles along the holes of the puncture casing 11. There is a gap between the puncture needle 5 and the bearing component 12, allowing the puncture needle 5 to slide and insert through the fisheye hole of the bearing with low resistance. A support foot 13 is provided on the back of the base 2, allowing the puncture robot to be repositioned for convenient operation by medical students.
[0028] The puncture training device includes a delta parallel mechanism 4, which has a driving end and a converging end. A puncture needle 5 is threaded through the converging end, and the puncture end of the puncture needle 5 punctures and enters the machine base 2 along the center line of the delta parallel mechanism. Specifically, the delta parallel mechanism 4 is a triangular pyramidal component, including three equally distributed rectangular arms 41 and a connecting member 42. One end of each of the three rectangular arms 41 is simultaneously hinged to the connecting member 42 to form a converging end, and the puncture needle 5 passes through the connecting member 42. The other end of each of the three rectangular arms 41 is a driving end. This invention utilizes d The delta parallel mechanism 4 guides the puncture needle 5 for puncture training. The delta parallel mechanism 4 features a compact structure, high speed, and high precision. Its fast movement speed, low inertia, and high precision make it suitable for high-precision puncture tasks. The delta parallel mechanism 4 consists of three identical rectangular arms 41 and a connecting part 42. It has a low overall self-weight load ratio and good dynamic performance, enabling it to perform puncture operations quickly and repeatedly in a limited space. Furthermore, due to its own structural characteristics, the delta parallel mechanism 4 has the advantage of no cumulative error, ensuring the synchronous accuracy of multiple puncture training sessions.
[0029] The puncture training device also includes a torque generating mechanism 9, which includes a motor 91, a semi-circular lever arm 92, and a line 93. The line 93 is connected between the output end of the motor 91 and the semi-circular lever arm 92, and power is transmitted through the line 93. The motor 91 is mounted on the bracket 3, the semi-circular lever arm 92 is hinged on the bracket 3, and the driving end of the delta parallel mechanism 4 is hinged on the semi-circular lever arm 92. The semicircular lever arm 92 has an inner cavity, and two openings 921 are provided on the semicircular lever arm 92 that are oppositely distributed and simultaneously penetrate the inner cavity. A spring 94 is connected in the inner cavity. A line 93 is wound around the arc surface of the semicircular lever arm 92, and its two ends enter the inner cavity from the two openings 921 on the semicircular lever arm 92 respectively. One end of the line 93 is fixed in the inner cavity of the semicircular lever arm 92, and the other end is connected to the spring 94. The spring 94 compensates for the line tension. A pull wheel 95 is provided on the output end of the motor 91. The line 93 wound around the arc surface of the semicircular lever arm 92 is simultaneously wound on the pull wheel 95. The torque generating mechanism 9 uses a line drive to provide feedback on the piercing motion. The line drive is used in conjunction with the spring 94 to compensate for the line tension, effectively improving the feedback accuracy for multiple piercing motions.
[0030] An absolute encoder 7 is installed on the bracket 3. Radial magnetic rings 8, corresponding to the absolute encoder 7, are installed on the hinge end of the semi-circular lever arm 92. The absolute encoder 7 determines the positional change of the semi-circular lever arm 92 by acquiring the rotation angle of the radial magnetic rings 8, and thus acquires the change in the active angle and spatial displacement distance of the puncture needle 5, which is connected to the convergence end of the delta parallel mechanism 4. A relative encoder 6 is installed on the motor 91. The absolute encoder 7 determines the number of rotations of the motor 91 by acquiring the data changes of the relative encoder 6. Specifically, the absolute encoder 7 and the relative encoder 6 actually sense and measure the cumulative rotation angle of the motor 91. For example, if 725 degrees is measured, it means it has rotated 2 revolutions plus 5 degrees in the forward direction. This invention, by setting up the relative encoder 6 and the absolute encoder 7 for coordinated use, can more accurately measure torque changes, and thus more accurately measure the puncture motion stroke.
[0031] In summary, this invention employs a delta parallel mechanism 4 to synchronize the puncture needle during puncture training, achieving highly flexible and precise synchronized puncture movements. Furthermore, it utilizes a line-driven method to provide feedback on the puncture movement, enhancing the feedback effect. By using a relative encoder 6 and an absolute encoder 7 in conjunction, it can more accurately measure torque changes, thereby precisely measuring the puncture stroke. This invention can accurately simulate force feedback during puncture training, providing a more realistic training effect, and maintains high application accuracy even after repeated use. It is suitable for medical student training and has excellent market potential. Therefore, this invention effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of existing technologies and possesses high industrial application value.
