Background

At present, eye diseases are numerous, and macular hole is a common fundus disease clinically, which can cause severe damage to visual function of patients, even retinal detachment and eyeball atrophy. It is generally believed that idiopathic macular holes may be associated with vitreous traction. The disease is hidden, and is usually discovered when the other eye is covered, so that early detection and timely treatment are key factors influencing the final healing of the patient. The ophthalmologist mainly relies on fundus examination and OCT auxiliary examination to diagnose and stage the disease clinically. Currently, loosening traction around the macular hole by vitrectomy, especially the removal of the posterior cortex, epiretinal membrane or inner limiting membrane of the vitreous, is the most prominent and effective treatment. However, in the operation process, complications such as cataract, visual field defect, iatrogenic retinal hole, macular hole enlargement, and retinitis pigmentosa caused by phototoxicity can be caused by natural shaking of the hands of a doctor, physical fatigue due to long-time operation, and improper operation due to narrow visual field angle in the eye space of a pathological change body. Therefore, how to accurately position the hierarchical structure of the traction factors, eliminate involuntary movements such as vibration, urge and low-frequency drift, overcome physiological barriers, develop a new intraocular surgery mode, improve the safety of the existing surgery operation, increase the visual field angle of a doctor, reduce iatrogenic injuries caused by surgery trauma or unclear visual field and the like is a difficult problem to overcome.

The invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the attached drawing figures:

as shown in fig. 2, a flexible force sensitive operating mechanism for an ophthalmic surgical robot, comprising: a robot operating arm II and a micro executing end I.

The operating arm II comprises: the flexible shaft 12, the front end connecting ring 10, the illumination imaging module 11, the tail end control module 1 and the rigid shaft 13. The illumination imaging module 11 is arranged on the front end connecting ring 10, the front end connecting ring 10 is connected with one end of a flexible shaft 12, the other end of the flexible shaft 12 is connected with one end of a rigid shaft 13, the other end of the rigid shaft 13 is connected with another flexible shaft 12, and the flexible shaft 12 is connected with an operation tail end 14.

The inner layer of the operating arm II is provided with an inner layer spiral spring 3 and/or an inner layer spiral spring 9 which are called inner layer spiral springs, the cable 6 is laid on the outer layer of the spiral spring, the cable ring 6 is wrapped on the outer sides of the inner layer spiral spring 3 and the inner layer spiral spring 9, the outer layer of the cable 6 at the specific bending position required by the operating arm II is provided with the outer layer spiral spring, and the bending of the operating arm II in any direction can be realized according to the parallelogram control principle.

The inner coil spring 3 and the inner coil spring 9 may be one inner coil spring connected together or two separate and connected coil springs.

The flexible shaft 12 is a specific bending portion of the operating arm and includes two coil springs, an inner coil spring 9 and an outer coil spring having a diameter larger than that of the inner coil spring 9. Placing the inner helical spring 9 in the outer helical spring creates an annular chamber through which the cable 6 can be guided. The thickness of the annular chamber is 0.6mm, which is equal to the thickness of the cable 6, the cable 6 can be fixed in radial position. In principle, four cables 6 can control the left/right and up/down bending of the front end connection ring 10, and 22 cables 6 uniformly wrapped around the outer side of the inner layer coil spring 9 can control the bending of the front end connection ring in any direction.

The outer layer coil springs comprise a top spring 8 between a front end connecting ring 10 and a rigid shaft 13, a tip spring 5 of the rigid shaft 13 and an operating tip 14, and a compensation spring 4 in the tip, the tip spring 5 being designed as a closed extension spring to increase the stiffness of the rigid shaft and the operating tip 14, the other three springs being compression springs, the compensation spring 4 having a higher spring constant than the top spring 8. The four springs are held in place and prevented from bending.

The front end connecting ring 10 is a front end connecting ring of the operating arm II, is used for limiting the positions of the inner layer spiral spring 9 and the top spring 8, and is used for installing the micro-execution end I and the illumination imaging module 11. The cable 6 is connected with the front end connecting ring 10 in a welding mode of micro automatic spot welding. The front surface of the front end connecting ring 10 is in a ring shape.

As shown in fig. 3, the illumination and imaging module 11 is adhesively mounted at an outer ring of the front surface of the front end connection ring 10, and the illumination and imaging module 11 includes a micro camera 17, an LED lamp 16 and a plastic base plate 15.

The micro-camera 17 is used for shooting a diseased eyeball part and providing a visual field for an operation with the assistance of an OCT imaging instrument, the LED lamps 16 are equally divided along the circumferential direction of the bottom plate and used for emitting light rays, so that the working environment is favorable for the imaging of the micro-camera 17 and an external OCT imaging instrument, and the plastic bottom plate 15 is integrated with a micro-camera control circuit and drives the micro-camera 17 to work. The plastic bottom plate 15 is connected with the tail end control module 1 through an inner hole of an inner layer spiral spring 9 in the front end connecting ring 10, and the lead 7 is used for power supply and signal transmission work of the illumination imaging module 11 and power supply and drive control signal transmission of normal operation work of the micro execution end I.

The terminal control module 1 is used for controlling the pictures of the operation process shot by the micro camera 17 to be transmitted to an external display screen, and providing control and power supply for the illumination imaging module 11 and the operation execution terminal I. The operation end 14 is a rigid hollow structure and is connected with the end spring 5, the inner wall of the operation end is the same as the outer diameter of the compensation spring 4, and the compensation spring 4 is arranged in the hollow of the operation end 14. At the bottom end of the operating end 14, a bracket 2 is mounted to limit the movement of the compensating spring 4 and the inner coil spring 3, and the bracket 2 is connected to the cable 6 by micro spot welding.

In a preferred embodiment, the compensation spring 4 pushes the bracket 2 and the cable 6 loop to the right. A large spring force is generated on the cable so that the top spring 8 is fully compressed in a straight position. The terminal control module can be connected with an external active control module and controls the work of the micro execution end according to an external active control signal.

In a preferred embodiment, parallelogram control is achieved by the interaction of the top spring 8 with the compensation spring 4. The compensating spring 4 pushes the bracket 2 and the cable 6 loop to the right, so that a large elastic force is generated on the cable 6, so that the top spring 8 and the end spring 5 are completely compressed at a straight position to maintain a normal straight state. When the operating end 14 is bent, the lower part of the cable 6 outside the end spring 5 at the bend lengthens, and the lower part of the cable 6 cannot be shortened because the top spring 8 is fully compressed, but the compensation spring 4 in the operating end 14 can shorten, the carriage 2 moves downwards, the tension of the cable 6 in other directions is released, and the force is reduced, so that the cables 6 slide through the operating end 14 and the rigid shaft 13, and the top spring 8 bends at a small radius until reaching the same angle as the bending of the end spring 5. The front end connection ring 10 may be bent 180 deg. in all directions and have a bending radius of at most 5 mm.

The terminal control module 1 can be connected with an external active control module and controls the work of the micro execution end according to an external active control signal.

As shown in fig. 4, the micro-execution end I is used for ophthalmic surgery (such as inner limiting membrane tearing and vitrectomy), and comprises: a micro surgical clamp 18, a rigid rod 20, an FBG fiber grating sensor 19, a micro linear drive motor 22, a pin, and a slider assembly 24.

In a preferred embodiment, the front end connecting ring of the micro execution end i performs an inner limiting membrane tearing operation on the surgical clamp 18, and the micro execution end i can realize the functions of touch recognition and feedback, automatic control of opening and closing of the surgical clamp 18 and low-frequency vibration filtering.

The rigid rod 20 is a hollow rigid rod made of nitinol with an outer diameter of about 1mm into which the micro-forceps 18 are inserted, and is connected to the slider assembly 24. The forceps 18 are reusable, cleaned and sterilized before and after each operation, and when the micro forceps 18 are subjected to a number of cycles of operation, the resulting material fatigue and surface property changes degrade the grasping quality and, in the worst case, they may break off during the operation. Thus, prior to this, the micro-forceps 18 are replaced.

The micro surgical clamp 18 is secured to the micro actuator mount by a set screw 26 on the cover. By loosening the set screw 26, the jaws can be easily replaced and switched between different types.

As shown in fig. 5, 3 FBG fiber grating sensors 19 are uniformly arranged along the periphery of the rigid rod 20 at a position closer to the connection ring at the front end of the rigid rod 20, and the included angle of each FBG fiber grating sensor 19 in the circumferential direction is 120 °. The FBG fiber bragg grating sensor 19 has the advantages of small size, high sensitivity, good biocompatibility, good bactericidal property, static resistance, electromagnetic noise and the like. The operating force is usually less than 7.5mN in the vitreous retinal microsurgery of the eyeball 28, and the FBG fiber grating sensor 19 can still have sub-mN resolution in measurement.

As shown in fig. 5, the FBG fiber grating sensor 19 is integrated at the periphery of the rigid rod 20 near one end of the micro surgical forceps 18 for measuring the forces (Fx and Fy) perpendicular to the axis of the micro surgical tool (forceps 18) during the surgical procedure. Modeling the tool shaft as a cantilever beam, when a lateral force is applied to the tool tip, the tool shaft deforms and produces a normal stress on the attached FBG fiber grating sensor 19.

In a preferred embodiment, the hollow rigid rod 20 is attached to the slider assembly 24, and the slider assembly 24 is moved back and forth along the pins of the base by the micro linear drive motor 22. The driving voltage of the micro linear driving motor 22 is controlled by the end control module 1, when the end control module 1 receives an external active signal, the back and forth movement of the micro linear driving motor 22 can be controlled through the lead 25, as shown in fig. 6, the hollow rigid rod 20 carrying the FBG fiber grating sensor 19 is pushed to the front end connection ring by the forward movement, so as to squeeze and close the mouth of the micro surgical forceps 18; the motion in the opposite direction releases and opens the jaws of the microsurgical forceps 18. It requires a travel distance of around 1mm to fully open and close the jaws, which is well below the 7 mm range limit of the miniature linear drive motor 22. The micro linear drive motor 22 has a drive force of about 1N to provide sufficient force in the micro actuation end i top jaw for this task.

During driving, the upper end position of the slider assembly 24 has a magnetic position sensor 21 attached to the side of the slider, so that the motor position is tracked by the magnetic rod 23 fixed to the side of the base.

In addition to functional requirements, design variables are also limited by application-based facts and manufacturing capabilities. The length of the slider assembly 24 to the microsurgical forceps 18 to which the rigid rod 20 is attached cannot be greater than 14mm, since the adult eyeball 28 is typically less than 24mm in diameter, with 10mm already occupied by the active section of the FBG fiber grating sensor 19. The width of jaws 18 cannot be increased too much because the instrument must pass through an ophthalmic surgical trocar 27 (about 1.1mm inner diameter). Finally, the connection on the jaws 18 cannot be less than 50 microns, since smaller values would make laser cutting very challenging, or in some cases even impossible depending on the available equipment.

The technical features of the above embodiments can be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are not described, but should be considered as the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.

The above examples only show some embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but not construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the inventive concept, which falls within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present patent shall be subject to the appended claims.

It is to be understood that the above description is intended to be illustrative, and not restrictive. Many embodiments and many applications other than the examples provided would be apparent to those of skill in the art upon reading the above description. The scope of the present teachings should, therefore, be determined not with reference to the above description, but should instead be determined with reference to the appended claims, along with the full scope of equivalents to which such claims are entitled.
