    Description

    Technical Field



    [0001] The embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to the field of shock wave therapy, and more particularly relates to a gun handle system and a shock wave robot therapy system.

    Background



    [0002] As a therapy method with rapid effect and lasting therapeutic effect and without obvious side effect, the orthopedic shock wave therapy is used more and more widely in diseases such as osteoarthritis, cartilage injury, tenosynovitis and osteonecrosis (lunate necrosis, necrosis of talus and necrosis of navicular bone). However, the existing shock wave therapy system is composed of a control box or a trolley-like device, one or a plurality of gun handles, and a plurality of shock wave therapy heads. During shock wave therapy, a doctor is required to hold a shock wave gun handle in hand to keep the end surface of the gun head in close contact with a patient's body surface for therapy. When a doctor makes a shock wave therapeutic schedule, multiple parts will be always treated to and fro, and each therapeutic process generally lasts for 20-30 min. It is difficult for a doctor to hold the gun handle stably for a long time, and the continuous vibration of the shock wave gun handle in the therapeutic process is likely to cause fatigue injury of the doctor's limbs.

    [0003] If the mobile therapy of the shock wave gun handle on the body surface cannot be realized by adopting a passively supporting mechanical arm to hold the gun handle of the shock wave device for targeted therapy on the affected part of a patient, the doctor has to tow the mechanical arm again each time another part is switched in therapy, consuming time and labor. Moreover, the relative position of the gun handle and a patient's body surface cannot be kept stable by holding the gun handle in a fixed position for a long time, which will affect the effective and stable transmission of shock wave energy to the treated part and thus cannot achieve an ideal therapeutic effect.

    [0004] Therefore, the problem to be urgently solved at present is how to design a gun handle system which does not need to be held in hand to carry out mobile shock wave therapy and a shock wave robot therapy system.

    a mechanical arm which is installed to a host of the shock wave robot therapy system, wherein the tail end of the mechanical arm is provided with an end-of-arm tooling connector which can adapt to various end-of-arm toolings;

    a gun handle which is detachably installed to the end-of-arm tooling connector and can move under the drive of the mechanical arm, wherein a shock wave generator is arranged in the gun handle, and the front end of the gun handle is provided with a gun head used for contact with a patient's body surface.


     
    2. The gun handle system according to claim 1, wherein the gun handle also comprises:

    a power source control device which is installed in the housing and provided with an accommodating cavity, wherein the accommodating cavity is provided with an opening at one end close to the base, one end of the shock wave generator is installed in the accommodating cavity, and the other end of the shock wave generator penetrates through the opening of the accommodating cavity and extends out of the base through the through hole; and the power source control device is used for controlling a shock wave power source to be on and off;

    a power source connecting path which is used for communicating the shock wave generator with the shock wave power source.


     
    3. The gun handle system according to claim 2, wherein the gun handle also comprises:

    a housing in which the shock wave generator is installed, wherein the front end of the gun handle extends out of the housing; and the housing comprises a base and a shell installed on the base, an installation cavity is formed between the shell and the base, the base is provided with a through hole communicating with the installation cavity, and the base can be detachably connected with the end-of-arm tooling connector;

    a silencing shock absorption pipe which is installed in the housing, located in a space surrounded by the power source control device and the base, and sheathed on the shock wave generator.


     
    4. The gun handle system according to claim 3, wherein
    the base is provided with a protrusion portion, the protrusion portion is arranged by extending out of the side portion of the shell and used for being connected with the end-of-arm tooling connector, the tail end of the mechanical arm can be connected with the end-of-arm tooling connector from above the end-of-arm tooling connector, and when the mechanical arm is connected with the end-of-arm tooling connector, part of the structure of the mechanical arm is abutted against part of the housing located above the protrusion portion.
     
    5. The gun handle system according to any of claims 1-4, wherein
    the gun handle system also comprises an identification device connected with the host, wherein the identification device can identify an end-of-arm tooling connected with the end-of-arm tooling connector, and the gun handle is one of end-of-arm toolings.
     
    6. The gun handle system according to any of claims 1-4, wherein
    the gun handle system also comprises a visual acquisition device installed on the mechanical arm or the gun handle, wherein the visual acquisition device is used for collecting image information about a patient's body surface.
     
    7. The gun handle system according to any of claims 1-4, wherein
    a recording device which can record the motion track of the mechanical arm is arranged in the mechanical arm or the host.
     
    8. The gun handle system according to any of claims 1-4, wherein
    the mechanical arm is a seven-degree-of-freedom flexible mechanical arm.
     
    9. The gun handle system according to any of claims 1-4, wherein
    the gun handle system also comprises a coupling component which is installed on the gun head, and the gun head is in contact with a patient's body surface through the coupling component in the therapeutic process.
     
    10. A shock wave robot therapy system, comprising:

    a host, and

    the gun handle system according to any of claims 1-9, wherein the gun handle system is installed to the host through the mechanical arm and can move under the control of the host.
