Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of interventional robot, concretely relates to an interventional consumable delivery mechanism with force perception function. BACKGROUND

[0002] Minimally invasive interventional therapy is the main treatment for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Under the guidance of a perspective imaging device, it uses interventional equipment to diagnose and treat through physiological cavities, and has obvious advantages such as good curative effect, high safety, small incision, and short postoperative recovery time compared with traditional surgical operation.

[0003] In the process of vascular interventional surgery, the main steps include femoral artery / radial artery puncture, coordinated progression of guide wire and angiography catheter, digital subtraction angiography (DSA), coordinated progression of treatment guide wire and balloon catheter, and placement of vascular stents. In this surgery, the coordinated progression of guide wire, catheter and balloon catheter is a time-consuming link and needs to be performed under the navigation of X-ray auxiliary image. The current vascular interventional surgery is usually completed manually by doctors. During the surgery, the doctor needs to wear heavy lead clothing to complete the surgery due to the X-ray emitted by DSA. The doctor's physical strength decreases rapidly, and the attention and stability also decrease, which will lead to a decrease in operation precision and easily cause accidents such as endovascular injury and vascular perforation caused by improper pushing force, which will endanger the patient's life. Moreover, long-term wearing of lead clothing will cause damage to the doctor's spine. Secondly, the accumulation of long-term ionizing radiation will greatly increase the probability of the doctor suffering from leukemia, cancer and acute cataract. Therefore, in order to protect the health of doctors and the quality of surgery, more and more research and development efforts are being made on interventional surgery robots, and more and more robots can be applied in clinical applications.

[0004] The existing interventional surgery robot mainly adopts a master-slave end operation structure to isolate the doctor from the radioactive environment. The existing interventional robot end device needs to hold the catheter, guide wire and other slender medical instruments to move from the proximal end to the distal end, drive the catheter and guide wire to advance through the coordinated movement of the device, and deliver them to the lesion in the patient's body (such as the blood vessel) for the doctor to perform subsequent related treatments such as angiography, embolization of abnormal blood vessels, thrombolysis, and dilation of stenotic blood vessels.

[0005] For example, the following patents applied for by Shenzhen Aibo Medical Robotics Co., Ltd.: Application No. 2022116787026, a slave end of an interventional surgical robot; Application No. 202211686818.4, a slave end of an interventional surgical robot; Application No. 202210923132.6, a slave end guidewire / catheter control device for an interventional surgical robot; Application No. 202210326352.0, a slave end device for an interventional surgical robot, etc.; these patents separate the power control of the catheter / guidewire and control it through the catheter delivery mechanism. The corresponding catheter is delivered by a catheter rotation mechanism, and the guidewire delivery mechanism controls the delivery and rotation of the guidewire. However, the following shortcomings exist: (1) the catheter rotation mechanism and guidewire rotation mechanism have complex structures; (2) the balloon delivery mechanism applies frictional force to the balloon catheter by synchronously rotating the active and driven rollers. Under the force of this frictional force, the balloon is delivered forward, but force feedback cannot be achieved during delivery, thus failing to ensure surgical safety; (3) it cannot achieve coordinated delivery of multiple catheters and guidewires. Therefore, how to provide an interventional consumables delivery mechanism that facilitates clamping and rotational control of interventional consumables and has force sensing capabilities is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0064] When the locking structure 10237 clamps the rotating interventional consumable, when the interventional consumable is subjected to a resistance torque, a torque will be applied to the locking structure 10237. The torque will be transformed into a thrust through the first rotating frame 513104 and applied to the parallel beam support 513101 connected to the other end. At this time, a large strain will be generated at the slotted thin wall of the parallel beam support 513101, and the strain generated will be fed back through the strain gauges on its surface. The torque received by the locking structure 10237 will be fed back through the combination of multiple strain gauges.

[0065] When the locking structure 10237 clamps the interventional consumable along the axial direction, the axial resistance experienced by the locking structure 10237 is transmitted to the axial force sensor 513111. At this time, the actual axial resistance experienced by the interventional consumable is measured by the axial force sensor 513111. Since the mass of the locking structure 10237 is relatively small, it can avoid generating large inertial forces during acceleration and deceleration, which would interfere with the force sensing.

[0066] As an alternative to this solution, such as Figure 6 As shown, during the rotational delivery of interventional consumables, in order to detect torque and axial force, the parts that are the same as those in the first scheme described above will not be specifically described. The difference is that the bracket connecting block 513109, the connecting rod 513108, and the first rotating frame 513104 are located on the lower side of the interventional consumables. At this time, the connecting rod 513108 and the interventional consumables are not in a coaxial position. The locking structure 10237 is connected to the first rotating frame 513104 through the axial force sensor 513111. The axial force sensor 513111 is fixedly installed on the first rotating frame 513104 and located at the rotation center of the first rotating frame 513104. The locking structure 10237 is fixed to the axial force sensor 513111.

[0075] The torque conversion structure is one or a combination of a pin and groove structure, a push piece structure, a connecting rod structure, a gear and rack structure, and a transmission belt structure; for the case that the torque conversion structure is a pin and groove structure: the fixed end of the single-dimensional force sensor is fixedly connected with the inside of the rotating shaft and located on one side of the interventional consumable, the force measuring end of the single-dimensional force sensor is fixedly connected with or integrally formed with a sensor force transmitting piece, the pin and groove structure includes a sleeve and a pin, the sleeve is fixedly connected or integrally formed on the second rotating frame 1022501, the sleeve is provided with a groove hole on one side of the second rotating frame 1022501 along the radial direction of the rotating center, one end of the pin is installed on the sensor force transmitting piece, the other end of the pin is placed in the groove hole, and the axis direction of the pin is parallel to the axis of the interventional consumable and is at a certain distance therefrom, and the pin can slide along the groove hole. Or a groove hole is provided on the sensor force transmitting piece, and a pin is provided on the sleeve.

[0076] Preferably, the force sensor is a single-dimensional force sensor 102293, one end of the single-dimensional force sensor 102293 is fixed on the rotating shaft 10225, the other end of the single-dimensional force sensor 102293 is fixedly connected or integrally formed with a sensor force transmitting piece 102210, the second rotating frame 1022501 cooperates with the sensor force transmitting piece 102210 through the pin and groove structure, so that the second rotating frame 1022501 will convert the torsional torque into a push-pull force when rotating and apply the push-pull force to the sensor force transmitting piece 102210, the force sensor measures the push-pull force, and then the torque received by the interventional consumable can be calculated by combining the force arm.

[0077] At this time, the fixed end of the single-dimensional force sensor 102293 is fixedly connected to the outer shell (outer shell A10233 or outer shell B10234) of the rotating shaft 10225 and located on one side of the interventional consumables. The fixed connection can be direct or indirect. The force measuring end of the single-dimensional force sensor 102293 is fixedly connected to or integrally formed with the sensor force transmission component 102210. The pin groove structure includes a sleeve 1022111 and a pin 1022112. The sleeve 1022111 is fixedly connected to the second rotating frame 1022501 (or integrally formed). The sleeve 1022111 has a slot 10221111 radially along the rotation center on one side of the second rotating frame 1022501. One end of the pin 1022112 is mounted on... On the sensor force transmission component 102210, the other end of the pin 1022112 is placed in the slot 10221111, and the axial direction of the pin 1022112 is parallel to the axis of the interventional consumable and at a certain distance (this distance is the lever arm; in order to maximize the force on the single-dimensional force sensor 102293 when the torque on the interventional consumable is fixed, this distance should be less than 20mm for the interventional consumable being a guidewire, preferably 3-8mm; for the interventional consumable being a catheter, this distance should be less than 50mm, preferably 15-30mm; the range of the single-dimensional force sensor 102293 should be less than 5N, preferably 0.5-2N).

Alternatively, the pin can be set on the second rotating frame 1022501, and the corresponding slot can be set on the sensor force transmission component 102210.

[0078] After the locking structure locks the interventional consumable, when the interventional consumable is subjected to torque, the second rotating frame 1022501 rotates at a certain angle relative to the rotating shaft 10225. The sleeve 1022111 rotates with the second rotating frame 1022501. While the pin 1022112 slides along the slot 10221111, it will be pushed by the slot 10221111 of the sleeve 1022111, converting the torsional torque into a push-pull force applied to the sensor force transmission component 102210. The sensor force transmission component 102210 pushes and pulls the single-dimensional force sensor 102293, so that the single-dimensional force sensor 102293 can detect the push-pull force.

When the screw head 2013 is rotated in the normal direction, the screw head 2013 is close to the threaded tube 2012, so that the elastic clamping jaw 2011 moves towards the folding part, and the elastic clamping jaw 2011 is folded by the folding part to clamp the interventional consumable 101. When the screw head 2013 is rotated in the reverse direction, the screw head 2013 is away from the elastic clamping jaw 2011, and the elastic clamping jaw 2011 is opened under the elastic force to release the interventional consumable 101.

When the screw head 2013 is unscrewed, the screw head 2013 removes the extrusion on the claw lobe part 20111 of the elastic clamping jaw 2011, so that the claw lobe part 20111 of the elastic clamping jaw 2011 is opened under the elastic force to release the interventional consumable 101.

The first anti-rotation protrusion 2014 is arranged at the position where the first guide part 2015 is connected to the main body of the clamping transition head 201. Of course, the first anti-rotation structure can also be a first anti-rotation groove arranged on the clamping transition head 201, and the first anti-rotation groove is arranged at the position where the first guide part 2015 is connected to the main body of the clamping transition head 201.

In this way, the rotational inertia of the entire clamping transition head 201 around the axis can be reduced as much as possible, and the interference with the force sensing of the external intervention consumable delivery mechanism can be reduced. In addition, the entire external intervention consumable delivery mechanism is made of lightweight plastic in addition to the elastic clamping jaw 2011, so as to further reduce the rotational inertia.

[0084] The rotation shaft 10225 is arranged on the external intervention consumable delivery mechanism, the second rotating frame 1022501 is coaxially arranged in the rotation shaft 10225, the front end of the second rotating frame 1022501 extends out of the rotation shaft 10225, the threaded tube 2012 is fixed to the front end of the clamping transition head 201, the body of the elastic clamping jaw 2011 is inserted into the threaded tube 2012, the claw lobe 20111 of the elastic clamping jaw 2011 extends out of the front end of the threaded tube 2012, in use, the operator passes the intervention consumable 101 through the threaded head 2013, the elastic clamping jaw 2011 and the clamping transition head 201 in sequence, rotates the threaded head 2013 in the positive direction, so that the claw lobes 20111 of the elastic clamping jaw 2011 close to clamp the intervention consumable 101, and then the first pressing part 20162 of the first hook 2016 is pinched to open the first hooking part 20161 of the first hook 2016, then the clamping transition head 201 is inserted into the force measuring end of the axial force sensor through the first guide part 2015, the first pressing part 20162 of the first hook 2016 is released, so that the first hooking part 20161 of the first hook 2016 is clamped on the ring groove of the force measuring end of the axial force sensor under the elastic force, and the first anti-rotation protrusion 2014 of the clamping transition head 201 (in a flat shaft shape, which can be replaced by other forms such as spline shape, gear shape, etc.) is inserted into the first anti-rotation groove of the force measuring end of the axial force sensor to prevent the relative rotation between the clamping transition head 201 and the force measuring end of the axial force sensor. Therefore, the locking head assembly can coaxially lock the intervention consumable 101 on the second rotating frame 1022501, and the axial delivery and circumferential rotation of the second rotating frame 1022501 are driven by the external intervention consumable delivery mechanism, so as to realize the axial delivery and circumferential rotation of the intervention consumable 101.
