Auxiliary electrode implantation system and electrode implantation method capable of adjusting needle insertion depth for organism
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of scientific experimental instruments, in particular to an auxiliary electrode implantation system with adjustable needle insertion depth for organisms and a control method.
Background
In the field of biological research, invasive electrode implantation techniques are widely used, and particularly, the implantation of electrodes is a very important step in the study of physiological electrical signals generated by various activities of animals, such as: the implantation position and the implantation depth of the electrode have a great influence on the final experimental result. In the electrode implantation process, the tissue damage caused by an implantation mode with a sharp implantation end, a high implantation speed and a short path is small, and for the measurement of the electromyographic signals, the electrode which is commonly used is a wire electrode, the rigidity of the electrode is not enough, and an external auxiliary implantation tool is needed to lead the electrode to be implanted into the muscle tissue.
In recent years, researchers have proposed various perfection schemes for the system, such as: the chinese patent application with publication number CN112245802A provides a guide wire handle and an implantable medical system, which is to fixedly connect a handle at the end of the guide wire with a hollow electrode, i.e. the electrode wraps the guide wire at the outside, and the electrode straightness is supported and ensured by the rigidity of the guide wire, thereby assisting the implantation of the electrode. Although the effect of the electrode implantation site can be tested, the guide wire cannot be drawn out after the electrode implantation is finished, if the influence of the device on an experimental body is reduced as much as possible, the guide wire needs to be drawn out after the electrode implantation to perform a stimulation test, the site is verified, and the process easily causes electrode translocation and influences the accuracy of the experiment. In addition, the patent description shows that the electrode tip is gentle and is difficult to insert into the skin of an experimental animal, and certain limitations exist in the experiment.
The chinese patent application with publication number CN108433791A discloses a puncture device system with adjustable needle insertion angle and a control method thereof. Although the operability of the electrode implantation angle is increased, the electrode implantation depth cannot be realized through data visualization, and the feeling and experience judgment of an experimenter are still needed.
The Chinese patent application with publication number CN111529924A provides a deep brain stimulation electrode device, wherein an electrode implantation part adopts a standard needle core needle tube structure, so that an electrode reaches a target brain area; the electrode position is then stabilized by fixing a threaded fixation cannula at the skull puncture site. However, the electrode implantation depth of this device is fixed, and cannot be adjusted temporarily. Meanwhile, the sleeve with larger diameter is fixed on the skull to greatly hurt the experimental animal, and the experimental animal can generate conflict, thereby influencing the experimental result. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new set of electrode implantation systems, which can achieve data visualization and high implantation accuracy and evacuation of post-implantation auxiliary devices while ensuring less tissue damage. Provides a new method and an operation system for the future animal electrode implantation operation.

the gear driving mechanism 23 comprises a driving gear and a driven gear which are meshed with each other, the driving gear is hinged in the shell, and the driven gear is fixedly connected with the hollow screw 22 and has the same axle center with the hollow screw; the driving handle 24 is fixedly connected with the driving gear; thus, when the operator rotates the driving handle 24 during use, the hollow screw 22 is driven by the driving gear and the driven gear to rotate around the axis of the hollow screw, so that the threaded pipe 21 is driven to do linear reciprocating motion relative to the shell;
the pintle 11 is fixedly connected to the hollow screw 22, and the primary scale 41 is located on one side of the elongated sliding hole 212. Thus, the linear movement of the threaded tube 21 will cause the pintle and needle to reciprocate.

Therefore, the bolt 25 is screwed to drive the electrode clamping module to do linear reciprocating motion relative to the shell 4, and the secondary scales on the outer wall of the connecting part can visually reflect the displacement of the bolt and the electrode clamping module relative to the shell in the process that the sleeve 26 moves along with the bolt, so that the aim of obtaining visual data of the needle displacement while improving the precision is also fulfilled.
The electrode clamping module comprises a hollow stud 31, a three-piece clamp 32 and a fastener 33 with internal threads;
the hollow stud 31 is fixedly connected to the end face, opposite to the connecting portion, of the bolt 25, the three-piece clamp 32 is fixedly connected to the hollow stud 31, the fastener 33 is connected to the hollow stud 31 through threads, and a conical groove matched with the three-piece clamp 32 is formed in the fastener 33.
