Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthopedic surgical robot technology, specifically to a surgical robot system with automatic positioning optimization and path planning functions, which is particularly suitable for medical robot-assisted surgical scenarios, such as robot-assisted hip and knee joint replacement surgery in orthopedics. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, surgical robots are widely used in various medical disciplines, especially in orthopedic surgery. Orthopedic surgery differs from general surgery in that it typically requires more frequent intraoperative movement to accommodate the patient's surgical side (left or right), surgical site (hip, knee, ankle), surgeon's preferred positioning, and limitations imposed by the surgical procedure and the safety wall of the end effector. This necessitates frequent and repeated movements of the robotic arm before, during, and after surgery.

[0003] Current surgical robots used in orthopedic surgery still have the following drawbacks:

[0004] 1) Traditional systems rely on manual adjustment of the robot's position, making it difficult to dynamically optimize the robot's position according to the surgical environment. During the operation, it is inconvenient to operate when repeated movements are required according to the surgical situation and needs.

[0005] 2) The robotic arm is not protected by a sterile cover. During the movement, it may accidentally come into contact with surgical personnel or objects, resulting in contamination of the end effector and surgical instruments, which further increases the risk of contamination of the surgical area.

[0006] 3) Inappropriate basic positioning of the robotic arm system leads to limited mechanical movement range, and inappropriate placement of the end-effectors results in them being too far or too close to the surgical site, affecting the surgical operation;

[0007] 4) Improper overall positioning of the robotic arm system can lead to singularities in the multi-axis robotic arm, which in turn restricts the operation of the robotic arm at the singularity and makes it difficult to meet the needs of surgery.

[0008] 5) When moving around in the operating room, one is easily interfered with by obstacles (such as medical staff and equipment), which can lead to reduced operational efficiency or increased surgical risks.

[0009] 6) The existing system lacks the function of adjusting the position according to the individual needs of the surgeon, which cannot fully meet the actual clinical needs. Utility Model Content

This significantly improves the flexibility and adaptability of the robotic arm module, making it more suitable for surgical needs. Furthermore, the use of a sterile sheath reduces the risk of surgical area contamination, enhancing the overall functionality and practicality. Specific settings are as follows:

[0039] The robotic arm module 1 has a built-in electronic control module, which includes an external power supply and a control module connected by a circuit. The control module can be selected, but is not limited to, a single-chip microcontroller control board of model AT80C51 and a microcontroller of model STM32. The control input terminal of the control module is connected by a circuit to a multimodal positioning module 2, which includes an optical recognition module and / or a lidar module and / or a video recognition module and / or an infrared recognition module.

[0040] The robotic arm module 1 is equipped with a built-in protective infrared monitoring module, which is connected to the control input terminal of the control module via a circuit.

[0041] The robotic arm module 1 is equipped with a voice prompt module. The control output terminal of the control module is connected to a relay module via a circuit. The relay module can be selected, but is not limited to, an 8-pin relay of model UD2-4.5NU. The output terminal of the relay module is connected to the voice prompt module via a circuit.

[0042] The robotic arm module 1 is also equipped with an electric walking mechanism 11. The output terminal of the relay module is connected to the electric walking mechanism 11 via a circuit. The electric walking mechanism 11 is a four-wheel electric walking mechanism, which provides 360-degree flexible turning capability.

[0043] The robotic arm module 1 is equipped with an end effector 12 and an end effector 13. The output terminal of the relay module is connected to the end effector 12 and the end effector 13 via circuits.

[0044] The robotic arm module 1 is equipped with a positioning tracker, which is connected to the control input terminal of the control module via a circuit to obtain the real-time position of the end effector.

[0045] The robotic arm module 1 is equipped with a space path calculation module, and the output terminal of the relay module is connected to the space path calculation module via a circuit.

[0046] The robotic arm module 1 is equipped with a placement position calculation module, and the output terminal of the relay module is connected to the placement position calculation module via a circuit.

[0047] The robotic arm module 1 has a built-in operation path calculation module, and the output terminal of the relay module is connected to the operation path calculation module through a circuit.

[0048] The method of using the above-mentioned surgical robot system with automatic positioning optimization and path planning functions includes the following steps:

[0049] S1: Multimodal recognition and localization based on personnel and instruments in the operating room;

[0050] The multimodal positioning module 2 identifies and calibrates the coordinates of the robotic arm module 1 itself in the operating room, the coordinates of the operating bed a in the operating room, the patient's position and surgical site and side, the coordinates of the surgical personnel and their range of motion in the operating room, and the coordinates of the surgical instruments in the operating room.

[0051] S2: Calculate the empty walking path of the robotic arm module 1 based on the multimodal recognition and positioning data information, and complete the sterile protective suit installation of the robotic arm module 1 based on the empty walking path;

[0052] The protective infrared monitoring module monitors the aseptic protective suit installation status of the robotic arm module 1 in real time and sends the monitoring results to the control module. The control module sends a command signal to the relay module to control the voice prompt module to output an avoidance voice alarm to reduce collisions between medical staff and the target location. The control module also sends a command signal to the relay module to control the empty path calculation module to calculate the empty walking path that allows the robotic arm module 1 to move to an open location. Furthermore, the control module sends a command signal to the relay module to control the walking mechanism of the robotic arm module 1 to move along the empty walking path to the selected open location, thereby completing the aseptic protective suit installation based on the robotic arm module.

[0053] S3: Calculate the optimal placement range of the robotic arm module based on multimodal recognition and positioning data;

[0054] Based on the coordinates of the surgical site and the coordinates of the safety wall movement range corresponding to the robotic arm module 1 in the acquired multimodal recognition and positioning data, the control module sends a command signal to the relay module to control the placement position calculation module to calculate the coordinates and obtain the first optimal placement position range coordinate set in which the robotic arm module 1 can effectively assist in completing the surgery.

[0055] Continuing to use the coordinates of the robotic arm module itself, the surgeon's position and range of motion, the surgical instrument, and the measured first optimal placement range coordinate set from the acquired multimodal recognition and positioning data, the control module sends a command signal to the relay module to control the placement position calculation module to perform coordinate calculations, thereby obtaining a second optimal placement range coordinate set that enables the robotic arm module 1 to have several placement and displacement paths that can flexibly switch placement positions. The second optimal placement range coordinate set is included in the first optimal placement range coordinate set.

[0056] The control module then sends a command signal to the relay module to control the placement position calculation module to calculate the coordinates and obtain the placement path from the selected open location to the second optimal placement position range coordinate point set. Based on the path's brevity, the optimal placement path is then optimized and determined.

[0057] S4: Based on the multimodal recognition and positioning data, continue to calculate the optimal operation path of the robotic arm module 1 within the optimal placement range.

[0058] Based on the patient's surgical site and its side in the acquired multimodal recognition and positioning data, the surgical progress of the robotic arm module, and the real-time position of the end effector 13 obtained by the positioning tracker, the control module sends a command signal to the relay module to control the operation path calculation module to calculate the optimal operation path for the end effector 13 of the robotic arm module 1 at the current placement point to extend to the surgical area. The optimal operation path is further obtained according to the changed placement point.

[0059] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
