Obviously, if a good quality image is to be obtained, the rotary design of the endoscopic ultrasonic microprobe is a key part, and the performance of the drive shaft hose is also crucial, so that good torque is required to realize good conductivity of the near-far end rotary force; also, because it is used in the channels, it should be axially flexible enough to be easily manipulated and easily accessed without bending damage. Therefore, a driving shaft having a spring-like structure is applied to this field, and in the prior art, in general, in order to enhance torque, a metal material having a relatively strong hardness, such as stainless steel or nitinol, is generally used to realize a strong torque in a rotational direction; in order to increase the flexibility, the metal tube is designed to be spring-shaped, so that the function of being flexible enough in the axial direction and strong torque in the rotating direction is realized.
However, the endoscopic ultrasound microprobe in the prior art still has more weak points.

On the basis of the above embodiments, at least one connection point 4-4 is arranged between the driving springs, and the width of the connection point 4-4 is larger than that of each strand of spring.
On the basis of the above embodiments, when the length of the drive shaft 4 is long, the wire diameter or the bending angle, etc. are easy to have tolerance and fluctuation, and in order to overcome this difficulty, the inner and outer layers of the drive shaft 4 are connected together, so that even if the partial region rotational stress imbalance occurs, the influence on the drive shaft 4 is limited to each part of the connecting section, and the total length of the entire drive shaft 4 is not influenced; specifically, at least two connecting points 4-4 are arranged between the driving springs, and at least one connecting point 4-4 is respectively arranged at two axial ends between the driving springs; when the connecting points 4-4 are positioned at the two ends of the driving spring, the two ends of the driving spring are provided with grinding parts, and the thickness of the grinding parts is less than or equal to 50% of the diameter of the spring monofilament of the outer layer driving spring.
On the basis of the above embodiments, at least three connection points 4-4 are arranged between the driving springs and are uniformly distributed along the axial direction of the driving springs.
In addition to the above embodiments, the connection points 4-4 are laser welding connection points or glue bonding connection points.
On the basis of the above embodiments, the surface of the driving shaft 4 is provided with a coating 4-1 for reducing frictional resistance, and the coating 4-1 is a PTFE coating or a Parylene coating, wherein the PTFE coating is a polytetrafluoroethylene coating, and the Parylene coating is a Parylene coating or a Parylene coating. The provision of the coating 4-1 can significantly reduce the surface friction coefficient of the drive shaft 4. Specifically, the thickness of the coating 4-1 is preferably 2% to 10% of the filament diameter of the spring monofilament in the outermost drive spring 4-2 of the drive shaft 4.
In addition to the above embodiments, the number of spring monofilaments of a single spring in each layer of the drive spring is the same. Preferably, the winding inclination angles of the drive springs of the respective layers are the same. Preferably, the gaps between each of the individual layers of drive springs are less than the wire diameter of the individual spring wires.
In addition to the above embodiments, in the two adjacent layers of the driving springs, the wire diameter of the spring monofilament of the inner layer driving spring 4-3 is 1-1.5 times of the wire diameter of the spring monofilament of the outer layer driving spring 4-2; the clearance between the outermost layer of the driving spring and the sheath 2 is 50-400 μm, and the clearance between the two adjacent layers of the driving springs is 1-20 μm.
In each of the above embodiments, in each of the drive springs of the drive shaft 4, Nn is the number of wires in the nth layer, r n is the center radius of the nth layer, θ n is the complementary angle of the angle between the nth layer wire and the axis, dn is the wire diameter of the nth layer wire, and σ is the stress; then:
∑Tsn-T＝∑(Π*dn 2/4σ*Nn*rn*sinθn)-(k/rn*P)＞0；
wherein: k is the coefficient of friction resistance and P is the pressure.
In addition to the above embodiments, the sum of the respective layer strain forces of the drive shaft 4 satisfies:
∑Fsn＝∑(∏*dn 2/4σ*Nn*rn*cosθn)＝0。
specifically, the spring-like driving shaft 4 is tightly attached by a metal wire having elasticity. When the driving shaft 4 rotates, the winding mode which is the same as the rotating direction gradually extrudes the cavity between the springs in the rotating process, thereby realizing the transmission of torque and shortening the length. And the winding mode opposite to the rotating direction can enlarge the cavity step by step, so that the length is lengthened. Drive shaft 4 is two-layer at least drive spring among this endoscope supersound microprobe, adjacent two-layer drive spring's direction of rotation should be inconsistent, like this, when direction of rotation is unanimous with outer drive spring 4-2's direction, outer drive spring 4-2 can be exerted the power that inside shrink direction warp, and the inboard then can be exerted the power that opposite outside direction warp, under the effect of two kinds of forces, whole drive spring can be in inseparable state of each other, thereby the moment of torsion can be transmitted the front end, drive the even rotation of imaging chip 5. However, the two-layer driving shaft 4 has a weak ability to rotate in opposite directions, when the rotation direction is opposite to the winding direction of the outer-layer driving spring 4-2, the outer-layer driving spring 4-2 will have an outward deformation force, and the inner-layer coil will have an inward deformation force, so that the two-layer coil will be layered, and the moment transmission will be poor, therefore, when strong torque is required for both forward and reverse rotation, the two-layer driving shaft should be designed in multiple layers, such as in the form of S/Z/S or Z/S/Z. Obviously, a good drive shaft 4 design needs to satisfy two conditions: 1) the rotation stress is larger than the friction resistance, so that the chip can be driven to rotate; 2) only when the deformation force of the inner-layer driving spring (4-2) and the outer-layer driving spring (4-2) tends to be 0, the driving shaft (4) can be ensured not to deform.
However, whether double-layered or multi-layered, because the diameters of the inner drive spring 4-3 and the outer drive spring 4-2 are different, the diameter of the outer drive spring 4-2 > the diameter of the inner drive spring 4-3; nn is the number of steel wires in the nth layer, r n is the central radius of the nth layer, theta n is the complementary angle of the angle between the steel wire in the nth layer and the axial line, dn is the wire diameter of the steel wire in the nth layer, and sigma is the stress. The rotational stress is then:
Tsn＝∏*dn 2/4σ*Nn*rn*sinθnformula (1)
It is clear that the rotational force is inversely proportional to the central radius of the wire diameter and directly proportional to the square of the wire diameter. The friction torque is:
T＝k/rnp formula (2)
Wherein k is a friction resistance coefficient, and P is a pressure. The friction torque is proportional to the weight of the drive shaft 4 itself and the friction coefficient, and inversely proportional to the center radius of the wire diameter. Therefore, to satisfy the above-mentioned condition 1, it is necessary to make:
∑Tsn-T＝∑(∏*dn 2/4σ*Nn*rn*sinθn)-(k/rnp) > 0 formula (3)
Maintaining a high stability of the rotation process requires that the strain force of the drive shaft 4 is close to 0. Strain force:
Fsn＝∏*dn 2/4σ*Nn*rn*cosθnformula (4)
It should be noted that if the rotation direction of the drive shaft 4 is reversed, the strain force is the reverse force. Therefore, it is required to satisfy: sigma FsnCondition 0. When the double-layer or multi-layer rotating stress is superposed, the manufacturing process of the whole driving shaft 4 is simpler and more convenient because the same included angle and the same number of steel wires are kept. Therefore, when the diameter of the outer layer driving spring 4-2 is larger, the wire diameter of the spring monofilament of the inner layer driving spring 4-3 should be increased in order to balance the force values.
In a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the endoscopic ultrasound microprobe comprises a guide tube 1, a sheath tube 2, a driving shaft 4 and an imaging chip assembly 3, wherein the guide tube 1 can be matched with a driving motor so as to drive the driving shaft 4 to rotate; the sheath tube 2 is used for protecting the driving shaft 4 and the imaging chip assembly 3, the sheath tube 2 is generally in a hollow cylindrical structure, the far end of the sheath tube is in a plug structure, and coupling liquid for transmitting signals is filled in the sheath tube; the imaging chip 5 of the imaging chip component 3 is positioned at a far end and exchanges signals with a host through a cable or an optical fiber and the like; the driving shaft 4 is a hollow structure, and the imaging chip assembly 3 should penetrate through the driving shaft 4 and be connected with the driving shaft 4, so that the imaging chip 5 is driven by the driving shaft 4 to rotate.
