- the device 100 can also be used as a right ventricular assist, the working part can be inserted into the right ventricle, and the pump pumps the blood in the vein to the right and left ventricle during operation.
- the device 100 can also be adapted to pump blood from the vena cava and/or right atrium into the right ventricle, from the vena cava and/or right atrium into the pulmonary artery, and/or from the renal vein into the vena cava, and can also be configured as Placed within the subclavian or jugular vein at the junction of the vein with the lymphatic duct and used to increase the flow of lymphatic fluid from the lymphatic vessel to the vein.
- the following will mainly use the device 100 as left ventricular assistance as the main scenario for illustration. However, based on the above description, it can be seen that the protection scope of the embodiments of the present invention is not limited thereby.
- the device 100 includes a driving assembly 10 and a working assembly 30 .
- the drive assembly 10 includes a motor housing 12 and a motor 14 accommodated in the motor housing 12 and having a motor shaft 16 .
- the working assembly 30 includes a conduit 32 , a drive shaft 34 passing through the conduit 32 , and a pump 36 driven by the drive shaft 34 .
- the driving assembly 10 provides power for the working assembly 30 to drive the working assembly 30 to realize the function of pumping blood.
- the pump 36 and part of the catheter 32 (specifically, the front end of the catheter 32 ) are sent into and kept in the body of the subject, and it is desirable that the size of the pump 36 and the catheter 32 be as small as possible. Therefore, the axially projected areas of the pump 36 and the conduit 32 are smaller than the axially projected areas of other components of the working assembly 30 and also smaller than the axially projected area of the driving assembly 10 .
- the pump 36 and the catheter 32 with a smaller size can enter the human body through a smaller intervention size, which reduces the pain caused to the subject during the intervention process and reduces complications caused by an oversized intervention size.
- Other parts of the working assembly 30 may have relatively large dimensions, so as to meet the requirements of structural design.
- the relatively large size of the drive assembly 10 can meet the needs of structural design and provide sufficient power for the drive shaft 34 and the pump 36 to meet the power requirements of the drive shaft 34 and the pump 36 .
- the driving assembly 10 is detachably connected with the working assembly 30 .
- the driving assembly 10 and the working assembly 30 can be disassembled to prevent the larger and heavier driving assembly 10 from affecting the pump 36 and the front end of the catheter 32
- the operation in which part is sent into the subject's body is easier to operate.
- the driving assembly 10 drives the working assembly 30 through magnetic coupling, specifically:
- the driving assembly 10 includes a socket, and the working assembly 30 includes a coupler.
- the socket includes a motor end bushing 20 connected to the motor housing 12 and an active magnet 22 housed inside the motor end bushing 20 and connected to the motor shaft 16 .
- the coupler includes an intervening end bushing 40 disposed at the proximal end of the working component 30 and a passive magnet 42 accommodated inside the intervening end bushing 40 and connected to the proximal end of the driving shaft 34 .
- the transmission chain of the driving assembly 10 includes a motor shaft 16 and an active magnet 22 connected to the motor shaft 16 .
- the transmission link of the working assembly 30 includes a passive magnet 42 , a connecting shaft 44 on which the passive magnet 42 is installed, a driving shaft 34 connected to the distal end of the connecting shaft 44 , and a pump 36 connected to the distal end of the driving shaft 34 .
- a protective head 38 is provided at the distal end of the pump 36, which is configured to be soft so as not to damage the tissue of the subject, and the protective head 38 can exhibit flexibility from any macro material.
- the protective head 38 is a flexible protrusion (Pigtail or Tip member) with an arc-shaped or coiled end, and the flexible end is supported on the inner wall of the ventricle in a non-invasive or non-damaging manner, and the pump 36
- the suction port of the pump is separated from the inner wall of the ventricle, so as to prevent the suction port of the pump 36 from adhering to the inner wall of the ventricle due to the reaction force of the fluid (blood) during the working process, so as to ensure the effective area of pumping.
- the driving shaft 34 is a flexible shaft that can be deformed visible to the naked eye.
- the proximal end of the connecting shaft 44 is equipped with a passive magnet 42, the connecting shaft 44 is a hard shaft, and the hard shaft cannot undergo visible deformation, which can make the installation of the driving magnet more stable.
- the motor shaft 16 drives the active magnet 22 to rotate
- the passive magnet 42 is magnetically coupled with the active magnet 22
- the passive magnet 42 is driven to rotate by the active magnet 22
- the passive magnet 42 rotates to drive the connecting shaft 44 and the drive shaft 34 to rotate in turn.
- the drive shaft 34 rotates to drive the pump 36 to pump blood.
- the active magnet 22 and the passive magnet 42 have a first mating state in which they rotate synchronously, and a second mating state in which the rotational speed of the passive magnet 42 is lower than that of the active magnet 22 .
- the rotation speed of the passive magnet 42 increases synchronously with the rotation speed of the motor 14 .
- the speed of the passive magnet 42 basically maintains the set speed. That is to say, in the first mating state, the passive magnet 42 begins to increase dynamically with the rotational speed of the motor 14 . After reaching a specific value, the specific value is basically maintained.
- the rotational speed of the passive magnet 42 is basically the same as that of the active magnet 22, thereby maximizing the efficiency of transmission.

- the size and hydrodynamic performance of the pump 363 are two conflicting parameters. In short, it is desirable that the size of the pump 363 be small from the standpoint of relieving the subject's pain and ease of intervention. In order to provide a strong auxiliary function for the subject, it is desirable that the flow rate of the pump 363 be large, which generally requires a large size of the pump 363 .
- the pump 363 has a smaller collapsed size and a larger expanded size, so as to reduce the pain of the subject during the intervention/transportation process, facilitate the intervention, and provide a large flow rate demand.
- the multi-mesh design of the pump casing 3631 can achieve better folding, and at the same time, it can be unfolded by virtue of the memory characteristics of nickel-titanium alloy.

- the pump 36 is folded by means of external constraints, and after the constraints are removed, the pump 36 realizes self-deployment.
- the "compressed state” refers to the state in which the pump 36 is radially constrained, that is, the state in which the pump 36 is radially compressed and folded into a minimum radial dimension under external pressure.
- the “deployed state” refers to the state in which the pump 36 is not radially constrained, that is, the state in which the bracket 3631 and the radially outer side of the impeller are deployed to the maximum radial size.
- the aforementioned external constraints are applied by sliding a folded sheath (not shown) over the catheter 32 .
- the pump 36 When the folded sheath moves forward outside the catheter 32, the pump 36 can be accommodated in it as a whole, so that the pump 36 can be forcibly folded. When the folded sheath is moved rearwardly, the radial constraint on the pump 36 is lost and the pump 36 self-deploys.
- the retraction of the pump 36 is realized by means of the radial restraint force exerted by the folded sheath.
- the impeller contained in the pump 36 is accommodated in the pump casing 363. Therefore, in essence, the folding process of the pump 36 is: the folded sheath exerts a radial constraint force on the pump casing 363, and when the pump casing 363 radially compresses, it exerts a force on the impeller. radial restraint.
- the pump casing 363 is folded directly under the action of the folding sheath, while the impeller is directly folded under the action of the pump casing 363 .
- the impeller has elasticity. Therefore, although the impeller is in the collapsed state, the energy storage of the impeller always has a tendency to expand radially, and then the impeller will contact the inner wall of the pump casing 363 and exert a reaction force on the pump casing 363 .
- the pump housing 363 supports the expansion of the elastic membrane under the action of its own memory characteristic, and the impeller self-expands under the action of the released energy storage.
- the outer diameter of the impeller is smaller than the inner diameter of the pump casing 363 .
- the pump clearance size be kept at a small value.
- the outer diameter of the impeller is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the bracket 3631, so that the pump clearance is as small as possible under the condition that the impeller rotates without bumping against the wall.
- the main means of maintaining the pump clearance is the supporting strength provided by the bracket 3631, which can resist the back pressure of the fluid (blood) without deformation, thereby keeping the shape of the pump casing 363 stable, and the pump clearance is also maintained. Hold steady.
- the pump 36 is radially constrained (compressed) due to an externally applied radial constraining force.
- the stent 3631 uses its own memory characteristics and the blades of the impeller expand autonomously with the release of energy storage, so the pump 36 automatically assumes its unconstrained shape (deployed state).
- the device 100 completes its work and needs to be withdrawn from the subject, use the foldable sheath to fold the pump 36. After the pump 36 is completely withdrawn from the subject, remove the restraint of the foldable sheath on the pump 36 to make the pump 36 returns to the natural state with the least stress, that is, the unfolded state.

L'ensemble de travail (30) comprend un arbre de liaison (44), un aimant passif (42) disposé à une extrémité proximale de l'arbre de liaison (44) et accouplé à l'aimant actif (22), un arbre d'entraînement (34) relié à une extrémité distale de l'arbre de liaison (44), et une pompe (36). La pompe (36) comprend un boîtier de pompe (363) présentant une extrémité d'entrée (361) et une extrémité de sortie (362), et un impulseur logé dans le boîtier de pompe (363). L'impulseur est relié à une extrémité distale de l'arbre d'entraînement (34) de manière à être entraîné en rotation pour pomper le sang dans le boîtier de pompe (363) depuis l'extrémité d'entrée (361) et l'évacuer depuis l'extrémité de sortie (362). L'aimant actif (22) et l'aimant passif (42) présentent un premier état d'adaptation dans lequel l'aimant actif et l'aimant passif tournent de manière synchrone, et un second état d'adaptation dans lequel la vitesse de rotation de l'aimant passif (42) est inférieure à la vitesse de rotation de l'aimant actif (22). L'aimant actif (22) et l'aimant passif (42) ne peuvent être commutés du premier état d'adaptation au second état d'adaptation que lorsque la vitesse de rotation du moteur (14) diminue jusqu'à une valeur seuil déterminée.
