Training results are greatly influenced by subjective factors, and it is difficult to record operational data for analysis and improvement. These problems urgently need to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0031] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this application will be described in detail below. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain this application and not to limit it. For those skilled in the art, this application can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely to provide a better understanding of this application by illustrating examples.
[0032] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
[0033] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2According to one embodiment of this application, a ring-toss module for surgical training includes: a base 11, a column 12 disposed on the base 11, a ring element 13 movably disposed on the column 12, a sensing component 14 disposed on the ring element 13 and / or the column 12, a signal processing module 15 electrically connected to the sensing component 14, and a prompting device 16 connected to the signal processing module 15. The sensing component 14 is used to detect the relative positional relationship between the ring element 13 and the column 12. The signal processing module 15 determines whether the ring-tossing action meets the standard based on the sensing signal and outputs feedback through the prompting device 16.
[0034] Specifically, the column 12 is fixedly or movably connected to the base 11. Generally, the column 12 is vertically arranged on the base 11, but in other embodiments, it can also be arranged at a certain angle on the base 11.
[0035] During surgical training, the surgeon uses long-handled clamps to pick up the ring element 13, moves it above a column 12, and places the ring element 13 around the outer circumference of the column 12. The surgeon can alternate between their left and right hands, thereby training their left- and right-hand coordination and spatial orientation abilities. This surgical training scenario can be used, for example, for laparoscopic surgery training, increasing the surgeon's proficiency in manipulating instruments during actual laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The sensing component 14 is connected to the ring element 13 and the column 12, respectively. That is, part of the sensing component is located on the column 12, and part is located on the ring element 13. Of course, it can be understood that in other application scenarios, the sensing component 14 may be located only on the ring element 13 or only on the column 12. By detecting the relative positional relationship between the ring element 13 and the column 12, the detection signal is transmitted to the signal processing module 15. The signal processing module 15 has preset conditions for judging whether the ring-tossing action meets the criteria, and by comparison, it determines whether the ring-tossing action meets the criteria.
[0037] Whether the ring-tossing action meets the standard refers to whether the ring is successfully tossed into the column 12, or whether the ring is tossed into the column 12 at a preset angle. The choice is made based on the actual situation, and there are no restrictions on this.
[0038] The prompting device 16 can acquire the conclusion information from the signal processing module 15 and provide corresponding prompts and feedback based on the conclusion information. Optionally, the prompting device 16 is an indicator light, such as a three-color LED indicator, where a green light indicates compliance, a yellow light indicates a critical state, and a red light indicates failure. Optionally, the prompting device 16 is a buzzer, which determines whether compliance is achieved based on the sound frequency. Optionally, the prompting device 16 is a voice broadcasting device, which determines whether compliance is achieved based on the sound broadcast.
[0039] There are various ways to configure the sensing component 14, the signal processing module 15, and the prompting device 16, which will be described below with reference to specific embodiments. Example
[0040] Please see Figure 3 The sensing component 24 in this embodiment includes a contact sensor disposed on the inner surface of the collar element 13, which triggers a signal when the collar element 13 contacts the top of the column 12.
[0041] Specifically, the contact sensor is a microswitch. Six microswitches are embedded in a ring on the inner wall of the collar element 13. When the collar element 13 is pressed down to the top of the column 12, the microswitches are triggered to generate an electrical signal. The signal processing module 15 determines the levelness of the collar element 13 by counting the number of triggered switches. The signal processing module 15 presets the conditions for the collar action to meet the standard. For example, it defines that the collar action is considered to meet the standard when more than three microswitches are triggered at the same time; if the number of triggered microswitches is less than three or only one side of the switch is triggered, the collar action is considered to not meet the standard; if no microswitches are triggered, the action is considered invalid.
[0042] The prompting device 16 provides corresponding feedback based on the conclusion of the signal processing module 15. In this embodiment, the prompting device 16 is a three-color LED indicator, where a green light indicates that the target has been met, a yellow light indicates that the ringing action has not been met, and a red light indicates that the action is invalid. In actual operation, a timer can also be embedded to calculate the time of the ringing action for further judgment. Example
[0043] Please see Figure 4 The sensing component 34 in this embodiment includes a pressure sensor 341 disposed on the top of the column 12 and a trigger part 342 at the bottom of the collar element 13, which generate a pressure signal when they come into contact.
[0044] Specifically, the pressure sensor 341 is a thin-film pressure sensor 341, and the trigger part 342 at the bottom of the collar element 13 can be a protrusion. When the thin-film pressure sensor contacts the protrusion, pressure is generated and converted into resistance.
[0045] The signal processing module 15 receives the resistance information, amplifies it, and compares it with a preset threshold to determine whether the collar element 13 has successfully fitted onto the post 12. For example, when the collar element 13 is not in contact with the post 12, the resistance is typically greater than 1MΩ; the resistance is 10kΩ when the contact pressure of the collar element 13 is 0.5N; and the resistance is typically 100Ω when the contact pressure of the collar element 13 is 10N. The degree to which the collar element 13 fits onto the post 12 can be set based on different resistance information.
[0046] The prompting device 16 provides corresponding feedback based on the conclusion of the signal processing module 15. In this embodiment, the prompting device 16 is a buzzer, which emits a buzzing sound when the ring element 13 is successfully fitted onto the post 12, and otherwise does not emit a sound. Example
[0047] Please see Figure 5 The sensing component 44 in this embodiment includes an infrared transmitter 441 and an infrared receiver 442, which are respectively disposed on the top of the column 12 and the inner wall of the ring element 13, and the position of the ring is determined by the state of infrared light blocking.
[0048] Specifically, multiple sets of infrared transmitters 441 are arranged on the outer periphery of the top of the column 12, and corresponding infrared receivers 442 are arranged on the inner wall of the collar element 13. Under normal conditions, the multiple sets of infrared transmitters 441 at the top of the column 12 continuously send modulation signals. When the collar element 13 is not blocked, the infrared receiver 442 continuously receives infrared signals and outputs a high level (logic "1"). When the collar moves down to the target position, its inner wall blocks the infrared path, and the receiver outputs a low level (logic "0").
[0049] The signal processing module 15 receives the infrared light signal and presets the conditions for whether the ring toss action is qualified. For example, it defines that the ring toss action is qualified when ≥6 groups of infrared channels are blocked at the same time and the blocking duration is ≥0.5 seconds. The information is then fed back to the trainee through the prompting device 16.
[0050] It should be noted that the sensing component 24 in Embodiment 1, the sensing component 34 in Embodiment 2, and the sensing component 44 in Embodiment 3 are different sensing methods in this embodiment. For ease of distinction, the sensing components 14 are numbered differently.
[0051] The sensing components described in Embodiments 1-3 above can be optimized and combined, as can the prompting device 16, and the corresponding signal processing module 15 can be adaptively adjusted. Of course, the sensing components in one embodiment of this application can also have other methods to determine whether the ring element 13 has been successfully fitted onto the column 12, or whether the ring element 13 has been fitted onto the column 12 at a predetermined angle. This method enables automatic detection of the ring module and real-time feedback of the results, making surgical training more intelligent and precise. In the ring assembly for surgical training according to one embodiment of this application, the ring element 13 can be made of an elastic material. Initially, the inner diameter of the ring element 13 is smaller than the outer diameter of the column 12, requiring the trainee to apply a certain amount of force when fitting the ring element 13 onto the column 12 with long-handled clamps, thus facilitating signal acquisition by the sensing components.
[0052] Elastic materials can be selected from silicone, polyurethane, nylon, etc.
[0053] In this embodiment, the column 12 is a height-adjustable structure, including multiple detachable extension rods. This allows it to adapt to different operating scenarios and training groups, enhancing the flexibility and versatility of the ring-toss module. Optionally, the outer diameter of the column 12 can also vary, and the shape of its outer periphery can be circular, rhomboid, square, etc. The outer periphery of the column 12 can be provided with threads, grooves, protrusions, etc.
[0054] In this embodiment, the ring toss module also includes a wireless transmission module for transmitting training data to an external terminal in real time, where it is aggregated, displayed, and processed. The external terminal can record the learning curves of each trainee and the learning curves of different departments for further comprehensive evaluation.
[0055] In this embodiment, the signal processing module 15 includes a timing unit that records the completion time of the ring toss action and generates an operation score. Specifically, the signal processing module 15 performs preset condition judgments based on the sensing data emitted by the sensing components, and can also incorporate the data recorded by the timing unit into the preset condition judgments to more accurately determine whether the ring toss action meets the standard, and to more precisely train the trainee in surgical operations.
[0056] Please see Figure 6 The second embodiment of this application also provides a surgical simulation device 21, which includes a surgical simulation box 221 and a ring-tossing module located inside the surgical simulation box. The ring-tossing module is placed inside the surgical simulation box 221, which has a plurality of insertion holes 2211. Surgical instruments such as long-handled clamps are inserted into the surgical simulation box 221 through the insertion holes 2211. Under the display of an imaging device, the ring-tossing module is trained to toss.
[0057] The ring-gathering module can be any of the ring-gathering modules described in the above embodiments, and will not be elaborated further here.
[0058] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
