Abstract

The invention relates to a variable stiffness serpentine surgical robot based on a nickel-titanium alloy skeleton, which includes an elastic tube, the elastic tube is made of nickel-titanium alloy, and a temperature control tube is arranged in the inner cavity of the elastic tube. The temperature of the tube can be adjusted, heat exchange can occur between the temperature control tube and the elastic tube to change the temperature of the elastic tube, the elastic tube has different rigidity at different temperatures; an end effector is installed at one end of the elastic tube, A side of the elastic tube close to the end effector is fixed with a plurality of clamping discs, and the collar of the clamping disc is arranged on the outer surface of the elastic tube, and a plurality of clamping discs are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction in the elastic tube. Through holes, the through holes are used to pass through the driving wires, one end of each driving wire is fixedly connected to one of the plurality of clamping discs, and the other end is fixedly connected to the driving device; the driving device can drive the driving wire along the The axial direction of the elastic tube stretches or relaxes to drive the elastic tube to deform.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of surgical robots, and in particular relates to a variable stiffness snake-shaped surgical robot based on a nickel-titanium alloy skeleton. Background technique [0002] Since the 1980s, the rise of minimally invasive surgery has brought about innovations in surgical operation modes. Especially in laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery, the development of surgical robots is very rapid; in the study of improving the flexibility and reducing the volume of the end-effectors of surgical robots, many researchers have proposed the use of continuum snake-shaped surgical robots to enhance surgical robots. End device flexibility. [0003] The inventor believes that the skeletons of these snake-like surgical robots are all elastic skeletons, which do not involve stiffness changes, and cannot take into account the different stiffness requirements of attitude changes and pulling actions. Therefore, many scholars hav...
