This invention provides a transnasal interventional
variable stiffness flexible bone-
grinding robot and a stiffness control method, comprising a
grinding mechanism, an inner arm drive mechanism, and an outer arm drive mechanism. The outer arm continuum of this application is composed of snake bone continuum units, which enable it to have both high flexibility and
high stiffness. After the outer arm continuum enters the surgical cavity, it can provide a high-stiffness
working space for the inner arm continuum and the
drill bit. By simultaneously axially stretching / compressing the
tendon, the compression or extension of the distal spring of the inner arm continuum can be controlled, thereby changing the stiffness of the distal end of the inner arm continuum. When feeding, the spring is stretched to reduce stiffness, making it more flexible and conducive to reaching the surgical area. When the
grinding drill bit is working, the spring is compressed, making it have
high stiffness so that it does not damage non-
disease tissue when the
drill bit grinds bone, realizing the function of
adjustable stiffness, which is more conducive to the needs of
surgical operation.
