Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, in the conventional instrument connection structure, the width of the adapter is also wide due to the wide case. Therefore, when multiple instruments are installed on multiple robotic arms, the instruments may collide or interfere with each other.
[0008] In addition, in the conventional connection structure, the distance between the instrument and the adapter is very narrow because the housing is mounted close to the adapter. The upper space of the surgical site does not have extra space for installing other surgical instruments other than the robot arm (and instruments), so there is a limitation that the surgical behavior is restricted

Abstract

Disclosed is a coupling structure for a surgical instrument. The coupling structure for mounting a surgical instrument onto an adapter arranged at the front end of a robot arm comprises: a housing formed into a tablet shape with a predetermined thickness and mounted on the front end of the robot arm; an interface unit formed in the thickness portion of the housing and coupled to the adapter; a plurality of drivers mounted on the interface unit to be actuated by the driving force transmitted by the adapter; a shaft coupled to the housing and accommodating a power transmission means, which is connected to the drivers, therein; and an effector coupled to the end of the shaft and connected to the power transmission means to perform operations required for surgery in accordance with the operation of the drivers.; The housing of the instrument is formed into a slim tablet shape and the interface unit is formed in the thickness portion of the housing, to thereby minimize collisions or interference among instruments even when the instruments are mounted on the respective robot arms.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a connection structure of surgical instruments. Background technique [0002] Medical surgery refers to the means of using medical instruments to incise, cut or manipulate skin, mucous membranes or other tissues to cure diseases. In particular, laparotomy, in which the skin of the surgical site is incised to treat, reshape, or remove the internal organs, etc., has recently become an alternative to surgery using robots due to problems such as bleeding, side effects, patient pain, and scars. Very popular. [0003] This surgical robot includes a master robot and a slave robot. The master robot and the slave robot can be configured as a whole or as a separate device and arranged in the operating room. The master robot generates the required signals through the operation of the doctor and performs Transmission, the slave robot receives signals from the master robot and directly performs operations on the patient. [0004]...
