The present invention relates to the technical field of puncture equipment, in particular to a needle support structure and a needle guide bracket.
The ultrasound interventional surgery is a new technology developed on the basis of ultrasound images. During surgery, it is necessary to install an ultrasound probe needle guide bracket on the ultrasound probe, and then perform puncture operations under the precise guidance of the ultrasound probe needle guide bracket. Puncture needles can directly reach lesions, and can perform surgical operations such as suction, drug administration and catheterization, or fine treatment operations such as offering microwave, radio frequency, and laser energy. The ultrasonic interventional surgery differs from the traditional surgical operation in that it can be completed only by fine needle puncture without cutting, so that a patient suffers less pain and does not need to be hospitalized, and that it is relatively safe, easy to operate, and has high practical value.
The ultrasonic probe needle guide bracket is mainly used to guide a puncture needle to reach a lesion target quickly and accurately, and has a function of quickly releasing the puncture needle after reaching the lesion tissue. That is, after the puncture needle reaches the lesion target, it is possible to separate the puncture needle from the ultrasonic probe needle guide bracket by removing the ultrasound probe and the ultrasound probe needle guide bracket separately and leaving the puncture needle in the patient's body. The effect of the ultrasound probe needle guide bracket is particularly important in the ultrasound interventional surgery, which plays a vital role in surgery efficiency, surgery success rate, and surgery safety.
At present, needle guide brackets on the market adopt a variety of different ways, including a rotating needle groove type, a clip type and the like, to achieve needle-bracket separation. Nevertheless, in practice, in the above ways, when quickly released by the doctor, the puncture needle would have a certain degree of displacement, which would affect the surgery effect and bring pain to patients.
The present invention provides a needle support structure and a needle guide bracket. When the needle support structure is separated, a first needle inlet plate and a second needle inlet plate are move away in parallel along the direction perpendicular to the needle feeding direction. This operation will not produce external forces in any direction on a puncture needle, and thus will not cause the puncture needle to produce displacement in any direction, ensuring the surgical effect of the puncture surgery, without bringing pain to patients due to the displacement of the puncture needle.

For the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, the present invention will now be described according to its preferred embodiments, in particular with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
wherein:
A rotating boss 3111 is arranged on the needle inlet wall 311. The rotating boss 3111 is fixedly connected with the needle wall 311. The middle of the rotating boss 3111 has a third notch 3116. The third notch 3116 divides the rotating boss 3111 into two parts. The rotating boss 3111 separated comprises an elastic post 31111 and a snap head 31112 arranged at an end of the elastic post 31111. A first retaining wall 3112 and a second retaining wall 3114 are further provided on an edge of the needle inlet wall 311. A first notch 3113 exists between the first retaining wall 3112 and the second retaining wall 3114.
The connecting wall 314 is provided with a hanging shaft 3143 at an end. A side end of the connecting wall 314 is further provided with a second notch 3141 and a stop block 3142. The two ends of the connecting wall 314 are fixedly connected to the needle inlet wall 311, thereby a hollow second chute 3115 is formed in the middle of the connecting wall 314.
In the embodiments of the present invention, the first clamping part and the second clamping part include two snap-on connections between them, one is the clamping connection between the positioning block 333 and the positioning hole 421, and the other is the clamping connection between the vertical arm 3212 and the lock-block 44, wherein the connection or separation in the two snap-on connections can be achieved at the same time through the swing of the rocker 33.
In the embodiments of the present invention, the assembling relations among individual parts mentioned above are as follows.
The slider 32 can enter the second chute 3115 by passing through the second notch 3141 arranged on the first needle inlet plate 31. The slider 32 can slide back and forth within the second chute 3115 along the length direction of the second chute 3115, and the stop block 3142 can prevent the slider 32 from falling out of the second chute 3115 when sliding within the second chute 3115.
The fixing hole 3311 in the rocker 33 can be sleeved onto the rotating boss 3111 arranged on the first needle inlet plate 31 under the press of an external force. The elastic post 31111 will be deformed toward the third notch 3116 when pressed, thereby smoothly pressing the rotating boss 3111 into the fixing hole 3311. After the rotating boss is pressed in place, the elastic post 31111 returns to its position, and the snaphead 31112 makes the fixing hole 3311 of the rocker 33 connected fixedly to the first needle inlet plate 31. The rocking block 332 of the rocker 33 is snapped into the first chute 3122 arranged on the first needle inlet plate 31 by the positioning snap 3324. In this case, two ends of the rocker 33 are movably connected with the first needle inlet plate 31, and the rocker 33 can rotate and move around the axis position of the rotating boss 3111.
After the slider 32 is mounted in the second chute 3115 arranged on the first needle inlet plate 31, the protruding shaft 3211 arranged on the slider 32 can be inserted into the third chute 3312 arranged on the rocker 33. The protruding shaft 3211 can slide in the third chute 3312. When the rocker 33 rotatably swings on the first needle inlet plate 31, the protruding shaft 3211 is driven by the third chute 3312 to slide within the third chute 3312, so that the slider 32 can be driven to move a certain distance in the second chute 3115 arranged on the first needle inlet plate 31 along the length direction of the second chute 3115.
The assembled first needle inlet plate 31 is assembled with the fixing groove 1511 arranged on the body 1 by the hanging shaft 3143 on the first needle inlet plate 31, and the circular hanging shaft 3143 can rotate around the fixing groove 1511 to a certain extent after being assembled into the fixing groove 1511. The first needle inlet plate 31 is rotated, so that the connecting wall 314 arranged on the first needle inlet plate 31 is snapped on the bottom plate 152 of the body 1, and thus the elastic snap 313, after being deformed, is buckled on the protruding surface 1521 arranged on the body 1, so that the first needle inlet plate 31 is stably mounted on the body 1.
When the first needle inlet plate 31 and the second needle inlet plate 41 are connected, the second needle inlet plate 41 is fitted to the first needle inlet plate 31 by inserting the buckle plate 42 into the first notch 3113 arranged on the first needle inlet plate 31, so that the semi-open needle inlet channels 411 constitutes closed needle inlet channels. The first retaining wall 3112, the second retaining wall 3114 and the connecting wall 314 arranged on the first needle inlet plate 31 can position the location of the second needle inlet plate 41, so that the second needle inlet plate 41 does not move relative to the first needle inlet plate 31 after being loaded into the first needle inlet plate 31.
After the connection between the first needle inlet plate 31 and the second needle inlet plate 41 is completed, the rocker 33 is swung towards the direction of the first positioning protrusion 3123 arranged on the first needle inlet plate 31 by being toggled. When the second positioning groove 3325 arranged on the rocker 33 falls into the first positioning protrusion 3123 arranged on the first needle inlet plate 31, the positioning block 333 arranged on the rocker 33 is inserted into the positioning hole 421 arranged in the second needle inlet plate 41; at the same time, by swinging, the rocker 33 can drive the slider 32 to move, so that the lock-block 44 arranged on the second needle inlet plate 41 is smoothly clipped into the clip opening 32121 arranged on the slider 32, thereby firmly locking the two side ends of the second needle inlet plate 41 on the first needle inlet plate 31. In this case, the semi-open needle inlet channel 411 arranged in the second needle inlet plate 41 is fitted to the first needle inlet plate 31 to form a closed needle inlet channel, through which a puncture needle or a biopsy needle having corresponding specification can pass. In this state, the aforementioned parts are located at the first position, that is, the current positions of the positioning block 333, the slider 32, the vertical arm 32121 and the like are their first positions.
In the same way, when the rocker 33 is pushed reversely to swing towards the direction of the second positioning protrusion 3121 arranged on the first needle inlet plate 31, the rocker 33 will drive the positioning block 333 to leave the positioning hole 421 arranged in the second needle inlet plate 41; at the same time, the rocker 33 also drives the slider 32 to move, so that the clip opening 32121 arranged on the slider 32 leaves the lock-block 44 arranged on the second needle inlet plate 41. When the first positioning groove 3323 arranged on the rocker 33 falls into the second positioning protrusion 3121 arranged on the first needle inlet plate 31, the second needle inlet plate 41 can be horizontally moved away by pinching with hand the hand position arm 43 arranged on the second needle inlet plate 41, thereby achieving the function of separating a needle from a needle guide bracket. In this state, the aforementioned parts are in the second position, that is, the positioning block 333, the slider 32, the vertical arm 32121 and the like are moved in the reverse direction with the swing of the rocker 33, i.e. from the first position to the second position thereof.
The aforementioned specific embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions may occur depending on design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
