Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an angle detection mechanism and a surgical robot. Background Technology
[0002] The development of prostate biopsy technology stemmed from the urgent need for accurate diagnosis of diseases such as prostate cancer. Traditional examination methods, such as digital rectal examination and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, cannot confirm the diagnosis; pathological examination of prostate tissue is necessary for definitive diagnosis. Meanwhile, advancements in imaging technology have greatly contributed. Transrectal ultrasound can clearly visualize the internal structure of the prostate, making the needle placement during biopsy more precise. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with ultrasound further leverages the advantages of both, using MRI to detect minute lesions and then fusing it with real-time ultrasound images to further improve early diagnosis rates. Furthermore, biopsy techniques have evolved from early blind biopsy to today's precisely guided biopsy, and different biopsy routes, such as transperineal and transrectal, have emerged, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, adapting to different patient conditions and providing comprehensive support for the diagnosis of prostate diseases.
[0003] The existing prostate puncture devices are not yet widely used in terms of axial rotation of the probe. Some probes can rotate axially, but there is a problem that the rotation angle cannot be accurately determined. Utility Model Content

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides an angle detection mechanism, which includes a base 10, a rotating platform 20, and an angle detection assembly 30. The rotating platform 20 is rotatably mounted on the base 10 at a preset angle and is configured to mount a probe 40. The angle detection assembly 30 includes a first rotating member 31, a second rotating member 32, and an angle detection member 33. The first rotating member 31 is fixed on the rotating platform 20, and the second rotating member 32 is rotatably mounted on the base 10. The first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 are connected by a transmission. The rotating platform 20 rotates to drive the second rotating member 32 to rotate through the first rotating member 31. The angle detection member 33 is disposed on one side of the second rotating member 32 and is configured to detect the rotation angle of the second rotating member 32. Based on the detection result of the second rotating member 32, the rotation angle of the rotating platform 20 is then detected.
[0029] It can be seen that the automatic detection of the rotation angle of the probe 40 is achieved through the cooperation of the first rotating component 31, the second rotating component 32 and the angle detection component 33. The structure is simple and the detection accuracy is high.
[0030] In one embodiment, the first rotating member 31 includes an arc rack 310, which is fixed to the bottom of the rotating platform 20. The second rotating member 32 is positioned below the first rotating member 32, which includes a gear 320 that meshes with the arc rack 310.
[0031] Specifically, the bottom of the rotary table 20 is provided with a mounting groove, and the arc rack 310 is set in the mounting groove.
[0032] As can be seen, by setting the arc rack 310 at the bottom of the rotary table 20 and cooperating with the gear 320 installed on the angle detection component 33, precise positioning can be provided, the shaking and vibration of the rotary table 20 during rotation can be reduced, and the space occupied is small and the layout is reasonable.
[0033] In one implementation, the radius of gear 320 is the same as the radius of circular arc rack 310, or the radius of gear 320 is smaller than the radius of circular arc rack 310.
[0034] It is evident that by setting the radius of gear 320 to be less than or equal to the radius of the circular arc rack 310, the structure becomes more compact and the space occupied is reduced.
[0035] In one embodiment, the rotary table 20 includes a base 21 and a top cover 22. The base 21 is provided with a cavity for accommodating the probe 40. The first side of the top cover 22 is hinged to the base 21 on the first side of the cavity. An unlocking part 23 is provided between the second side of the top cover 22 and the base 21 on the second side of the cavity. The unlocking part 23 is configured to lock or unlock the second side of the top cover 22 to the base 21.
[0036] It is evident that the rotary table 20 has a simple structure and is easy to use.
[0037] In one embodiment, the rotary table 20 also includes at least one detection plate 24, which is mounted on the end face of the base 21 and has a scale.
[0038] It is evident that by setting up a graduated detection plate 24, it is easier to read the rotation angle, thus improving work efficiency.
[0039] In one embodiment, a mounting base 11 is provided on the base 10, and the angle detection component 33 is an angle encoder. The angle encoder is detachably mounted on the mounting base 11 through the disassembly component 12, and the second rotating component 32 is rotatably mounted on the detection end of the angle encoder.
[0040] As can be seen, the angle encoder has a simple structure and is easy to maintain.
[0041] In one implementation, the angle encoder is provided with a damper 330 facing the gear 320, and the end of the damper 330 abuts against the side wall of the gear 320.
[0042] It can be seen that by setting the damper 330 on the gear 320, the gear 320 can be made to move more smoothly when changing the direction of motion, and the motion error caused by backlash can be reduced.
[0043] A surgical robot comprising the aforementioned angle detection mechanism.
