[0050] Embodiment 1
[0051] The present embodiment provides a specific implementation of a full-automatic biopsy needle under electromagnetic positioning, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , which comprises a housing, a firing assembly 6, and a biopsy needle assembly 1, the housing forms a handle for the operator to hold and operate, the firing assembly 6 and the biopsy needle assembly 1 are assembled in the handle formed by the housing, wherein the firing assembly 6 is connected with the biopsy needle assembly 1, the firing assembly 6 has a storage state of driving the biopsy needle assembly 1 to retract in the proximal direction of the housing, and the firing assembly 6 also has a firing state of driving the biopsy needle assembly 1 to extend in the distal direction of the housing, during the switching process of the biopsy needle assembly 1 from the storage state to the firing state driven by the firing assembly 6, the biopsy needle assembly 1 performs biopsy sampling; the biopsy needle assembly 1 comprises a needle core 101 and a needle tube 102 which is slidably sleeved outside the needle core 101, a hollow sensor assembly channel 1013 is formed inside the needle core 101, and the sensor assembly channel 1013 is used for the elongated first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 to extend into, specifically, the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 can extend into the sensor assembly channel 1013 through the proximal opening of the needle core 101, so that during the biopsy operation, the elongated first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 can be extended from the proximal opening of the needle core 101 to the distal target position of the needle body 1011, close to the position of the distal end of the needle core 101, so that when the biopsy needle is inserted into the human body, the operator can identify the spatial position of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 in the human body by using the navigation device, and then accurately calculate the spatial position of the sampling part (i.e. the needle tip 1012 and the sampling groove 1014) on the needle core 101 in the human body by using the size relationship between the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 and the needle core 101 of the biopsy needle assembly 1. It should be noted that in this document, the spatial position includes position and attitude.
[0052] In the present embodiment, on the one hand, through the cooperation of the firing assembly 6 and the biopsy needle assembly 1, the automatic firing and sampling of the full-automatic biopsy needle are realized, which improves the efficiency and accuracy compared with the manual biopsy needle firing and sampling;
[0053] On the other hand, the fully automatic biopsy needle is combined with the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11, a hollow sensor assembly channel 1013 is formed in the inside of the needle core 101, so that during the biopsy, the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 can be inserted into the target position at the distal end of the needle body 1011 from the proximal end opening of the needle core 101, so that when the biopsy needle is inserted into the human body, the operator can identify the spatial position (position and attitude) of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 in the human body by using the navigation device, and then accurately calculate the spatial position (position and attitude) of the sampling part (i.e. the needle tip 1012 and the sampling groove 1014) on the needle core 101 in the human body by using the size relationship between the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 and the needle core 101 in the biopsy needle assembly 1, so as to determine the positional relationship between the needle tip 1012 and the sampling groove 1014 of the biopsy needle assembly 1 and the target sampling position.
[0054] Since the needle core 101 has a certain firing distance when firing, in some embodiments, the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 can be fixed inside the needle core 101 and ejected in the distal direction together with the needle core 101 when firing. A fixing structure for fixing the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 needs to be designed inside the needle core 101 during production, which is more difficult to achieve in the narrow sensor assembly channel 1013.
[0055] In the preferred embodiment of the utility model, when the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 is assembled to the sensor assembly channel 1013 of the needle body 1011, the two are not in a fixed relationship, and the sensor assembly channel 1013 does not need to be designed with a fixing structure for fixing the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11. In specific use, first, the biopsy needle assembly 1 is adjusted to an energy storage state, then the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 is extended along the sensor assembly channel 1013 of the needle core 101 to the target position at the distal end of the sensor assembly channel 1013, after the assembly of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 is completed, finally, the biopsy needle assembly 1 in the energy storage state is inserted into the human body for firing sampling, when the firing assembly 6 drives the biopsy needle assembly 1 to switch from the energy storage state to the firing state, the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 is fixed, and the specific spatial position of the needle tip 1012 and the sampling groove 1014 after firing can be obtained by calculating the spatial position of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 and the size relationship between the target position of the sensor assembly channel and the needle tip 1012 and the sampling groove 1014. Through the setting, the spatial position of the needle tip 1012 and the sampling groove 1014 can be positioned in the operation, the structure is simple and convenient for production, and the first electromagnetic navigation sensor is not easy to be damaged. The first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 is fixed in the needle core 101 and pops out in the distal direction together with the needle core 101 in the working process when firing, when the biopsy needle needs to be sampled twice or multiple times, the needle core 101 needs to return to the energy storage state together with the firing assembly 6, if the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 is fixed in the needle core 101, it will shrink in the proximal direction together with the needle core 101, the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 in the sensor assembly channel 1013 will be squeezed or bent, which is easy to cause damage to the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11, is not conducive to the service life of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11, and if the fixing structure is not fixed firmly, the relative position between the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 and the needle core 101 will change, which will cause the spatial position of the needle tip 1012 and the sampling groove 1014 to be positioned inaccurately by the navigation device during the second (or multiple) sampling, thereby causing the second (or multiple) sampling to fail. Therefore, in order to facilitate the production of the needle core 101 and the assembly of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11, and to avoid the relative position between the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 and the needle core 101 changing and causing the second (or multiple) sampling to fail during use.
[0056] In order to accurately and conveniently assemble the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the proximal end of the shell is provided with a connecting through hole 12, the connecting through hole 12 is communicated with the sensor assembly channel 1013, a first connecting piece is arranged on the connecting through hole 12, and a channel suitable for the first elongated electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 to pass through is formed in the first connecting piece, the first connecting piece is arranged to pass through the first electromagnetic navigation sensor and extend to the target position at the distal end of the sensor assembly channel, the proximal end of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 is suitable to be connected to the navigation device, and the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 is arranged to be fixed relative to the first connecting piece.
[0057] In assembly, the surgeon can hold the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11, align the distal end of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 with the channel of the first connecting piece, insert the proximal end of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 into the first connecting piece, and then insert the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 into the sensor assembly channel 1013 until the distal end of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 reaches the target position at the distal end of the sensor assembly channel 1013.
[0058] Considering that the surgeon twists the shell (also referred to as a handle) of the full-automatic biopsy needle when performing a biopsy, if the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 is fixed to the biopsy needle assembly 1, the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 will be twisted along with the shell, thereby causing the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 to be damaged due to the torsion. Therefore, in the embodiment, the connection of the first connecting piece to the connecting through hole 12 is arranged such that the first connecting piece can rotate relative to the connecting through hole under the external torsion. In this way, when the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 is subjected to the external torsion, the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 can rotate adaptively relative to the navigation device and the biopsy needle assembly 1 along with the first connecting piece, thereby avoiding damage to the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 due to the torsion or affecting the positioning accuracy.
[0059] Further specifically, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 the distal end of the first connecting piece is provided with a connecting cap 13, the connecting cap 13 can be inserted into the connecting through hole 12, and an annular groove is arranged on the side wall of the connecting cap 13, and correspondingly, an annular protrusion 23 is arranged on the inner wall of the connecting through hole 12, the annular protrusion 23 and the annular groove are matched, and when the first electromagnetic navigation sensor is subjected to the external torsion, the first connecting piece fixed relative to the first electromagnetic navigation sensor can rotate relative to the connecting through hole under the cooperation of the annular protrusion 23 and the annular groove. It should be noted that the position of the annular groove and the annular protrusion 23 is not limited in the utility model, and in some other embodiments, the side wall of the connecting cap 13 is formed with the annular protrusion 23, and the inner wall of the connecting through hole 12 is formed with the annular groove.
[0060] Further specifically, the proximal end of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 is sleeved with a second connecting piece, the distal end of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 passes through the distal end of the second connecting piece, the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 is fixedly arranged with the second connecting piece, and the distal end of the second connecting piece is detachably connected with the proximal end of the first connecting piece. In this way, when the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 needs to be assembled, the operator can hold the second connecting piece, connect the distal end of the second connecting piece with the proximal end of the first connecting piece mounted on the connecting through hole 12, and thus the assembly of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 on the full-automatic biopsy needle is completed.
[0061] As a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the distal end of the second connecting piece and the proximal end of the first connecting piece are quick-release connected, specifically, the distal end of the second connecting piece is provided as a plug, and the proximal end of the first connecting piece is provided as a slot, and in assembly, the plug can be quickly inserted into the slot to realize connection. Of course, the positions of the plug and the slot can be interchanged. It should be further pointed out that the connection between the distal end of the second connecting piece and the proximal end of the first connecting piece can be fixed connection or rotary connection, and the present utility model does not limit this.
[0062] In order to further ensure the assembly accuracy, the connection between the second connecting piece and the first connecting piece is arranged to be that when the two are connected in place, the distal end of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 just extends into the target position of the sensor assembly channel 1013.
[0063] As a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first connecting piece is a first connecting pipe 22, the second connecting piece is a second connecting pipe (not shown in the figure), and the inner diameter of the first connecting pipe 22 is greater than the outer diameter of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11, that is, there is a gap between the first connecting pipe 22 and the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11, so that the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 is more convenient to pass in, and the second connecting pipe is fixed with the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11.
[0064] As an example of the above preferred embodiment, the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 is an elongated wire, and the second connecting tube can be a split structure, which includes a first connecting sub-tube on the distal side and an insulating sheath wrapped outside the wire on the proximal side, the wire is fixed in the insulating sheath, and the first connecting sub-tube of the second connecting tube and the first connecting tube 22 are both plastic transparent tubes. When manufacturing the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11, the wire without the insulating sheath on the distal side is inserted into the first connecting sub-tube, and then the distal end of the insulating sheath and the proximal end of the first connecting sub-tube are fixed together through a heat shrink tube (other fastening methods can also be used). When assembling the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11, the operator inserts the wire on the distal side into the first connecting tube 22 by holding the first connecting sub-tube or the insulating sheath outside the wire until the distal wire extends to the distal end of the sensor assembly channel 1013 of the biopsy needle, and then the operator can quickly insert the distal end of the first connecting sub-tube and the proximal end of the first connecting tube 22 together, and the distal wire end extends to the target position at the distal end of the sensor assembly channel 1013, completing the assembly of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11.
[0065] It should be noted that in the embodiment, the sensor is preferably arranged at the distal end of the wire. However, the utility model is not limited thereto, and in some other embodiments, the sensor can also be multiple, and can be arranged at other positions along the wire in addition to being arranged at the distal end of the wire.
[0066] In addition, in the embodiment, during actual assembly, the operator first connects the first connecting tube 22 to the connecting through hole through the connecting cap 13, which provides an installation channel for the installation of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11, then the operator inserts the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 into the first connecting tube 22 by holding the second connecting tube, and then fixes and connects the distal end of the second connecting tube and the proximal end of the first connecting tube 22, at this time, the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 extends to the target position at the distal end of the sensor assembly channel 1013.
[0067] Further specifically, the proximal end of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 is provided with a quick plug male head, and the navigation device is provided with a quick plug female head for cooperating with the quick plug male head, the quick plug male head and the quick plug female head can form a fixed mechanical connection, and the quick plug male head and the quick plug female head also realize the electrical connection between the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 and the navigation device. The positions of the quick plug male head and the quick plug female head can be interchanged.

[0069] In actual use, the first connecting tube 22 is a set with the automatic biopsy needle, and the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 is a set with the second connecting tube. The automatic biopsy needle has different length specifications according to different actual situations, and the length of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 is usually fixed. In order to enable the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 to extend into the target position of the automatic biopsy needle with different length specifications, the first connecting tube 22 is designed to have different length specifications in this embodiment to match the automatic biopsy needle with different length specifications (for example, when the automatic biopsy needle is relatively short, the first connecting tube 22 is relatively long), so as to ensure that the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 can extend into the target position of the automatic biopsy needle after the first connecting tube 22 and the second connecting tube are connected.

In some other embodiments, there is no connecting cap 13 in the connecting through hole 12 or there is a certain distance between the distal end of the connecting cap 13 and the fixed protection tube 14, and then a part of the needle core 101 can extend out of the proximal end port of the fixed protection tube 14 when the needle core 101 is switched to the energy storage state with the firing assembly, as long as the extended part does not contact the connecting cap 13.
[0072] In the embodiment, the needle core 101 includes a needle tip 1012 arranged at a distal end and a needle body 1011 connected to the proximal end of the needle tip 1012 and extending towards the proximal end of the shell, a sensor assembly channel 1013 is formed in the interior of the needle body 1011, and the sensor assembly channel 1013 extends along the length direction of the needle body 1011, and the target position for the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 to extend into the sensor assembly channel 1013 is the end of the distal end of the sensor assembly channel 1013, which is close to the needle tip 1012. Further, the needle tip 1012 is provided with a sampling groove 1014.
[0073] In order to accurately position the needle tip 1012 and the sampling groove 1014, in the embodiment, further, the center of the fixed protection tube 14 is connected with the center of the through hole 12 and the center of the sensor assembly channel 1013, so that on the one hand, the center of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 can be aligned with the center of the sensor assembly channel 1013 during assembly, thereby facilitating the navigation device to obtain the spatial position of the needle tip 1014 and the sampling groove 1014 according to the specific spatial position of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 and the specific size and relative position relationship between the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 and the needle tip 1012 and the sampling groove 1014; on the other hand, after the center of the fixed protection tube 14 is aligned with the center of the sensor assembly channel 1013, the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 can extend to the distal end of the needle body 1011 along a straight line, so that the pulling force generated by the needle body 1011 in the instant of ejection can be avoided to pull the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11.

Specifically, the plug-in connector can be a cylinder integrally formed with the needle body 1011, and the plug-in hole is a blind hole arranged on the needle tip 1012 and matched with the diameter of the cylinder. The needle tip 1012 is connected with the needle body 1011 by inserting the cylinder into the blind hole. The cylinder and the blind hole can be coated with glue or adhesive or welded, so as to make the connection of the needle tip 1012 and the needle body 1011 more firm.

The needle core 101 and the needle tube 102 are sequentially slid. The needle core 101 moves to a target position first. The tissue at the target position is filled into the sampling groove 1014. Then, the needle tube 102 slides relative to the needle core 101. During the sliding process of the needle tube 102, the ring blade at the end of the needle tube 102 cuts and separates the tissue in the sampling groove 1014 from other tissues, so as to complete the sampling work.
[0078] In the embodiment, a rubber sleeve can be sleeved on the end of the needle core 101 and the needle tube 102. When the fully-automatic biopsy needle is not used, the rubber sleeve is sleeved on the end of the needle core 101 and the needle tube 102, so as to protect the end of the needle core 101 and the needle tube 102 and avoid damaging the needle tip 1012.

[0085] Further, the first sub-firing assembly 61 comprises a first slider 611 and a first elastic member 612, and the second sub-firing assembly 62 comprises a second slider 621 and a second elastic member 622; the needle core 101 is fixed on the first slider 611, the first slider 611 has an energy storage state in the first cavity in which the first elastic member 612 is compressed to make the needle core 101 retract, and the first slider 611 also has a firing state in the first cavity in which the needle core 101 is ejected under the elastic force of the first elastic member 612; the needle tube 102 is fixed on the second slider 621, the second slider 621 is slidingly installed in the second cavity, the second slider 621 has an energy storage state in the second cavity in which the second elastic member 622 is compressed to make the needle tube 102 retract, and the second slider 621 also has a firing state in the second cavity in which the needle tube 102 is ejected under the elastic force of the second elastic member 622.
[0086] Specifically, the first end of the first slider 611 has a first clamping portion, the first cavity has a first clamping groove 16 matched with the first clamping portion, when the first clamping portion is clamped into the first clamping groove 16, the first slider 611 enters the energy storage state, when the first clamping portion is separated from the first clamping groove 16, the first slider 611 enters the firing state, the trigger assembly 5 can drive the first clamping portion to separate from the first clamping groove 16, so that the first slider 611 enters the firing state from the energy storage state and drives the needle core 101 to eject; the first end of the second slider 621 has a second clamping portion, the second cavity has a second clamping groove 17 matched with the second clamping portion, when the second clamping portion is clamped into the second clamping groove 17, the second slider 621 enters the energy storage state, when the second clamping portion is separated from the second clamping groove 17, the second slider 621 enters the firing state, when the first slider 611 slides to the distal end of the first cavity, the second clamping portion can be pushed out of the second clamping groove 17, so that the second clamping portion is separated from the second clamping groove 17, the second slider 621 enters the firing state and drives the needle tube 102 to eject.
[0087] In the embodiment, the first end of the first slider 611 is shaped with a first elastic clamping block 6111, the first elastic clamping block 6111 passes through the first clamping groove 16 and is clamped on the side of the first clamping groove 16, so that the first slider 611 remains in the energy storage state, when the third slider 51 slides to the trigger position, the first elastic clamping block 6111 is separated from the first clamping groove 16, the first slider 611 enters the firing state, and drives the needle core 101 to extend outward away from the shell 2; the first end of the second slider 621 is shaped with a second elastic clamping block 6211, the second elastic clamping block 6211 passes through the second clamping groove 17 and is clamped on the side of the second clamping groove 17, so that the second slider 621 remains in the energy storage state, when the first slider 611 slides to the tail end of the first cavity, the end of the first slider 611 extrudes the second elastic clamping block 6211, so that the second elastic clamping block 6211 is separated from the second clamping groove 17, the second slider 621 enters the firing state, and drives the needle tube 102 to extend outward away from the shell 2, when the needle core 101 and the needle tube 102 extend outward away from the shell 2, the biopsy sampling of the target position is completed.
[0088] In the embodiment, the outer diameter of the first elastic clamping block 6111 away from the trigger assembly 5 is greater than the outer diameter of the first elastic clamping block 6111 close to the trigger assembly 5, so that when the first slider 611 is in energy storage, the first elastic clamping block 6111 is offset radially inward under the extrusion of the side wall of the first clamping groove 16, so that the first elastic clamping block 6111 can enter the first clamping groove 16 and pass through the first clamping groove 16, after the first elastic clamping block 6111 passes through the first clamping groove 16, the extrusion of the side wall of the first clamping groove 16 is eliminated, the first elastic clamping block 6111 is offset radially outward to expand, so that the first elastic clamping block 6111 is clamped on the side of the first clamping groove 16, and the first elastic clamping block 6111 is blocked from sliding out of the first clamping groove 16, so that the first slider 611 remains in the energy storage state.
[0089] Similarly, the outer diameter of the second elastic clamping block 6211 away from the first slider 611 is greater than the outer diameter of the second elastic clamping block 6211 close to the first slider 611, so that when the second slider 621 is in energy storage, the second elastic clamping block 6211 is offset radially inward under the extrusion of the side wall of the second clamping groove 17, so that the second elastic clamping block 6211 can enter the second clamping groove 17 and pass through the second clamping groove 17, after the second elastic clamping block 6211 passes through the second clamping groove 17, the extrusion of the side wall of the second clamping groove 17 is eliminated, the second elastic clamping block 6211 is offset radially outward to expand, so that the second elastic clamping block 6211 is clamped on the side of the second clamping groove 17, and the second elastic clamping block 6211 is blocked from sliding out of the second clamping groove 17, so that the second slider 621 remains in the energy storage state.
[0090] In the embodiment, the first cavity and the second cavity are through, and the first cavity and the second cavity are arranged in the moving direction of the needle core 101 and the needle body 1011, so that the first slider 611 and the second slider 621 can drive the needle core 101 and the needle body 1011 to move when sliding in the first cavity and the second cavity. At the same time, when the first slider 611 slides to the tail end of the first cavity, the second elastic clamping block 6211 can be pressed, so that the second slider 621 is switched from the energy storage state to the firing state, so that the second slider 621 drives the needle tube 102 to extend outward from the distal end of the shell 2.
[0091] In other embodiments, the first cavity and the second cavity can also be arranged separately, and the first slider 611 and the second slider 621 are triggered separately, as long as the first slider 611 and the second slider 621 are triggered in sequence.
[0092] In the embodiment, the inner shell includes a first inner shell 7 and a second inner shell 8, and the first inner shell 7 and the second inner shell 8 are snap-fitted. The first inner shell 7 and the second inner shell 8 are both installed in the shell 2, and the first cavity and the second cavity are formed in the internal space of the first inner shell 7 and the second inner shell 8, which facilitates the rational use of the space in the shell 2. The first cavity and the second cavity are assembled by the first inner shell 7 and the second inner shell 8, which reduces the processing cost of the shell 2, increases the applicability of the shell 2, and can assemble other models of the first inner shell 7 and the second inner shell 8 to install biopsy needle assemblies 1 of different specifications.
[0093] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 The end of the first elastic clamping block 6111 towards the third slider 51 has a first inclined surface 6112, and the inclination direction of the first inclined surface 6112 is inclined upward from the direction close to the third slider 51 to the direction away from the third slider 51. The radial dimension of the first inclined surface 6112 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first clamping groove 16, so that when the first slider 611 slides, the first inclined surface 6112 first enters the first clamping groove 16. As the first inclined surface 6112 gradually enters, the inner wall of the first clamping groove 16 begins to press the first inclined surface 6112, so that the first elastic clamping block 6111 contracts radially inward, and finally completely enters the first clamping groove 16. After passing through the first clamping groove 16, the first elastic clamping block 6111 expands radially outward under the action of its own elastic force and recovers deformation. At this time, the radial dimension of the end of the first elastic clamping block 6111 towards the first clamping groove 16 is greater than the inner diameter of the first clamping groove 16, which prevents the first elastic clamping block 6111 from separating from the first clamping groove 16, so that the first slider 611 remains in the energy storage state.
[0094] Further, the third slider 51 has a second inclined surface 511 matching the first inclined surface 6112 at the end thereof facing the first slider 611, and during the process of sliding the third slider 51 to the trigger position, the first elastic clamping block 6111 moves radially inward under the extrusion of the second inclined surface 511, so that the radial dimension of the first elastic clamping block 6111 is less than or equal to the inner diameter dimension of the first clamping groove 16, so that the first elastic clamping block 6111 can escape from the restriction of the first clamping groove 16 and enter the first clamping groove 16, and the first slider 611 switches from the energy storage state to the firing state under the elastic force of the first elastic member 612, and drives the needle core 101 to pop out to the distal end of the outer shell 2.
[0095] In the embodiment, the second elastic clamping block 6211 has a third inclined surface 6212 at the end thereof facing the first slider 611, and the third inclined surface 6212 is inclined upward from the direction close to the first slider 611 to the direction away from the first slider 611, and the radial dimension of the third inclined surface 6212 is partially less than the inner diameter of the second clamping groove 17, so that when the second slider 621 slides, the third inclined surface 6212 first enters the second clamping groove 17, and as the third inclined surface 6212 gradually enters, the inner wall of the second clamping groove 17 begins to extrude the third inclined surface 6212, so that the second elastic clamping block 6211 shrinks radially inward, and finally completely enters the second clamping groove 17. After passing through the second clamping groove 17, the second elastic clamping block 6211 expands radially outward under the action of its own elastic force and recovers deformation, and at this time, the radial dimension of the end of the second elastic clamping block 6211 facing the second clamping groove 17 is greater than the inner diameter dimension of the second clamping groove 17, thereby preventing the second elastic clamping block 6211 from escaping from the second clamping groove 17, so that the second slider 621 remains in the energy storage state.
[0096] Further, the first slider 611 has a fourth inclined surface 18 matching the third inclined surface 6212 at the end thereof facing the second slider 621, and during the process of sliding the first slider 611 to the tail end of the first cavity, the second elastic clamping block 6211 moves radially inward under the extrusion of the fourth inclined surface 18, so that the radial dimension of the second elastic clamping block 6211 is less than or equal to the inner diameter dimension of the second clamping groove 17, so that the second elastic clamping block 6211 can escape from the restriction of the second clamping groove 17 and enter the second clamping groove 17, and the second slider 621 switches from the energy storage state to the firing state under the elastic force of the second elastic member 622, and drives the needle tube 102 to pop out to the distal end of the outer shell 2.
[0097] Further, the elastic fins 52 are elastic plates extending outward from the third slider 51, such as plate-shaped components formed of rubber material, and the elastic plates are two, respectively located on both sides of the third slider 51, one end of the elastic plate is connected with the third slider 51, and the other end is abutted or connected to the inner wall of the inner shell.
[0098] In the embodiment, the elastic fin 52 is formed with an escape hole through which the fixed protection tube 14 penetrates and which avoids interference with the fixed protection tube 14 when the trigger link 15 moves. The fixed protection tube 14 is arranged corresponding to the needle body 1011 from the escape hole. The diameter of the escape hole is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the fixed protection tube 14, so that when the trigger link 15 drives the elastic fin 52 to deform during sliding, the escape hole can move slightly on the fixed protection tube 14, avoiding the escape hole of the elastic fin 52 being tightly sleeved on the fixed protection tube 14 and unable to move, which affects the sliding of the trigger link 15.
[0099] In the embodiment, the trigger keys include a side trigger key 4 and a rear trigger key 3 arranged on the side and tail end of the handle formed by the shell 2, respectively. The side trigger key 4 and the rear trigger key 3 are connected by the trigger link 15, and the side trigger key 4 and the rear trigger key 3 move synchronously. No matter which trigger key is pressed by the operator, the other trigger key moves synchronously. The trigger link 15 is connected with the third sliding block 51, and the side trigger key 4 and the rear trigger key 3 are connected with the third sliding block 51 through the trigger link 15. The trigger link 15 is slidingly arranged in the shell 2, so that the operator can drive the third sliding block 51 to move from the initial position to the trigger position through the trigger link 15 no matter whether the side trigger key 4 or the rear trigger key 3 is operated.
[0100] In the embodiment, the first pressing key 10 and the second pressing key 9 are further included. The first pressing key 10 and the second pressing key 9 are slidingly installed in the shell 2 and at least partially exposed outside the shell 2. The first pressing key 10 is fixedly connected with the first sliding block 611, and the second pressing key 9 is fixedly connected with the second sliding block 621. The operator can control the first sliding block 611 to move inwardly to the shell 2 to the energy storage state by pressing the first pressing key 10, and can control the second sliding block 621 to move inwardly to the shell 2 to the energy storage state by pressing the second pressing key 9.
[0101] In the biopsy performed by using the full-automatic biopsy needle of the embodiment, the operator first needs to assemble the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 to the biopsy needle assembly 1. Specifically, the operator can first adjust the biopsy needle assembly 1 to the energy storage state, i.e. by pressing the key to drive the firing assembly 6 and the biopsy needle assembly 1 to retract to the energy storage state in the proximal direction of the shell, then extend the distal end of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 to the target position at the distal end of the sensor assembly channel 1013, and connect the proximal end of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11 to the navigation device. At this time, after being powered on, the navigation device can identify the spatial position (position and attitude) of the first electromagnetic navigation sensor 11, and then determine the spatial position (position and attitude) of the needle tip 1012 and the sampling groove 1014 according to the specific size relationship between the target position at the distal end of the sensor assembly channel 1013 and the needle tip 1012 and the sampling groove 1014 of the biopsy needle assembly 1. Then the operator can select a body surface needle entry point, adjust the needle entry path according to the navigation, confirm that the pre-puncture target point is on the needle entry path, and then the biopsy needle assembly 1 is inserted into the target point of the human body.
[0102] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the navigation device reserves the firing distance of the biopsy needle assembly 1, i.e. when the crosshair of the biopsy needle assembly 1 is located at the pre-puncture target point according to the navigation, the position of the needle tip 1012 of the biopsy needle assembly 1 still has a firing distance from the target point. At this time, the operator controls the firing assembly 6 to drive the biopsy needle assembly 1 to switch from the energy storage state to the firing state, and the needle tip 1012 of the biopsy needle assembly 1 will be inserted into the target sampling position (target point).
[0103] It should be further noted that before firing, the locking assembly is always in the locked position, which is to prevent the operator from triggering by mistake. When the crosshair of the biopsy needle assembly 1 is aimed at the pre-puncture target point, the locking assembly is switched from the locked position to the unlocked position, the trigger assembly 5 is operated to trigger the firing assembly 6, the firing assembly 6 is switched from the energy storage state to the firing state, and the target tissue sampling is completed.
