The blade assembly includes an electrode seat located at the front end of the pipeline assembly. The front end of the electrode seat protrudes outward by a certain distance, and the bottom of the protruding electrode seat is attached to the front end of the pipeline assembly. An electrode plate with a limiting function is installed on the front end surface of the electrode seat. Several electrode balls are provided on the surface of the electrode plate. The electrode balls are limited at the front end of the electrode seat by the electrode plate. The electrode balls are connected to an electrode wire, and the electrode wire and the electrode ball are integrally set.
[0004] The electrode wire extends through the electrode holder into the pipeline assembly, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the electrode holder.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 The radio frequency blade shown includes a handle 1, a tubing assembly 2 installed at the front end of the handle 1, and a blade assembly 3 installed at the front end of the tubing assembly 2. The blade assembly 3 includes an electrode seat 31 located at the front end of the tubing assembly 2. The front end of the electrode seat 31 protrudes outward by a certain distance, and the protruding bottom of the electrode seat 31 is attached to the front end of the tubing assembly 2. An electrode plate 32 is installed on the front end surface of the electrode seat 31. A plurality of electrode balls 33 are provided on the surface of the electrode plate 32. The electrode balls 33 are limited at the front end of the electrode seat 31 by the electrode plate 32. The electrode balls 33 are connected to an electrode wire 34, and the electrode wire 34 and the electrode balls 33 are integrated.
[0023] The electrode wire 34 extends through the electrode base 31 into the interior of the tubing assembly 2. A through hole 4 is provided in the middle of the electrode base 31. A temperature sensor 5 is embedded in the inner wall of the through hole 4. The electrode wire 34 and the electrode ball head 33 are integrally formed, and the electrode ball head 33 is limited at the front end of the electrode base 31. During the operation, the flushing liquid is transported from the tubing assembly 2 to the through hole 4 inside the electrode base 31, and reaches the front end of the blade from the through hole 4 to flush and clean the lesion tissue stuck at the front end of the blade, thereby actively clearing the channel during the operation interval to ensure smooth flow.
[0024] The slider for controlling the irrigation fluid is integrated into the handle 1, which facilitates the control of the fluid passing through the through hole 4 during the operation.
[0025] The built-in temperature sensor 5 is used to monitor the temperature of the cutter head assembly 3 in real time to prevent material fatigue and abnormal excitation state caused by excessive temperature.
[0026] The pipeline assembly 2 includes heat shrink tubing 21, stainless steel tube 22, water protection tube 23 and water tube 24, which are sequentially arranged from the outside to the inside. The heat shrink tubing 21 is attached to the outer wall of the stainless steel tube 22. A gap is left between the water protection tube 23 and the water tube 24. The electrode wire 34, which is connected to the electrode ball head 33, passes through the gap and is connected to the handle 1. The protruding bottom of the electrode seat 31 is attached to the front end of the stainless steel tube 22, and the non-protruding rear end of the electrode seat 31 is inserted into the inside of the stainless steel tube 22.
[0027] Among them, the stainless steel tube 22 extends a certain distance from the front end of the heat shrink tube 21, the cutter head assembly 3 is located at the front end of the stainless steel tube 22, and the electrode wire 34 located between the water circuit protection tube 23 and the water circuit tube 24 is also wrapped with a tubing 35, which provides protection and insulation for the electrode wire 34.
[0028] The electrode sheet 32 includes an outer electrode sheet 321 matching the number of electrode ball heads 33 and an inner electrode sheet 322 located inside the outer electrode sheet 321. Both the inner electrode sheet 322 and the outer electrode sheet 321 are arranged in a ring shape. The inner electrode sheet 322 is located in front of the through hole 4.
[0029] A connecting piece 323 connects several outer electrode plates 321 and inner electrode plates 322. The outer electrode plates 321 are welded to the front surface of the electrode base 31. A gasket 324 is also attached to the surface of the outer electrode plates 321. The electrode ball head 33 is embedded in the gasket 324. The electrode wire 34 passes through the electrode base 31, the outer electrode plates 321 and the gasket 324 and is connected to the electrode ball head 33.
[0030] Based on the above, the outer electrode 321, inner electrode 322, and connecting piece 323 are integrated into a single unit, welded together at the front of the electrode holder 31. The inner electrode 322 is annular and located just in front of the through hole 4. When the liquid inside the tubing assembly 2 is transported to the surgical site through the through hole 4, the annular structure of the inner electrode 322 facilitates the passage of the liquid, reduces splashing, and allows it to act on the blade tip. It also reduces the adhesion and accumulation of lesions on the blade tip. The electrode wire 34 passes through the annular interior of the outer electrode 321, and the electrode ball 33 is located at the front. It is supported and carried by the pad ring 324 on the outer electrode 321, preventing the electrode ball 33 from falling off at the front of the electrode holder 31 and ensuring that the radiofrequency blade remains stable during use.
[0031] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art and related fields based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described and explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented according to conventional means in the art.
