It should be noted that the terms "front", "rear", "left", "right", "upper" and "lower" used in the following description refer to the directions in the accompanying drawings, and the terms "inner" and "outer" respectively refer to the directions towards or away from the geometric center of a specific component.

[0017] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, an auxiliary robot during a surgical procedure includes a guide rail 1. When the device is applied, it needs to be installed on the ceiling, that is, the guide rail 1 is fixedly connected to the ceiling in advance. A moving mechanism 2 is provided on the guide rail 1. The moving mechanism 2 is integrally cylindrical. The moving mechanism 2 includes a moving seat 29. The moving seat 29 directly moves on the guide rail 1. A rotating sleeve 27 is rotatably connected below the moving seat 29. The rotating sleeve 27 is a tubular member. A bottom shell 23 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating sleeve 27. The bottom shell 23 is a circular tray structure with its edge turned up. When the bottom shell 23 is sleeved on the lower part of the rotating sleeve 27, the bottom shell 23 is fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve 27 by setting bolts in the radial direction. A screw 215 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the bottom shell 23. A sliding rod 216 is in threaded cooperation with the screw 215. When the screw 215 rotates, it drives the sliding rod 216 to move axially along the screw 215. Further, the sliding rod 216 includes a rod, and two convex rods are provided on one side of the rod, and the screw 215 passes through and is in threaded cooperation with the two convex rods. In the above settings, the auxiliary robot has multiple degrees of freedom.

[0018] Both ends of the sliding rod 216 are fixedly connected with wire pay - out devices 21. Therefore, there are two wire pay - out devices 21. The wire pay - out device 21 includes a housing 2106. The housing 2106 is an overall cylindrical thin - shell part. Inside the housing 2106, there is a fourth motor 2102, and the motor shaft of the fourth motor 2102 is fixedly connected to the housing 2106. That is, when the fourth motor 2102 works, its motor housing is in a rotating state. The side wall of the fourth motor 2102 is fixedly connected with a wire take - up wheel 2103. Therefore, when the fourth motor 2102 operates, the wire take - up wheel 2103 rotates. A sling 2105 is wound around the wire take - up wheel 2103, and a strap is provided at the lower end of the sling 2105. Before use, the strap is tied to the surgeon. Then, by controlling the fourth motor 2102, the sling 2105 can be wound or released, so as to support the surgeon's body to a certain extent, reduce the physical consumption of the surgeon during the operation, and reduce the labor intensity of the surgeon. A through - hole is opened in the lower part of the housing 2106, and a guide ring 2104 is arranged in the through - hole. The sling 2105 passes through the guide ring 2104. The inner side of the guide ring 2104 is a circular chamfer. At least three pressure sensors are arranged at equal angles on the edge of the guide ring 2104. By obtaining the data of the pressure sensors, the moving direction of the sling 2105, that is, the moving direction of the surgeon, can be judged. Therefore, the position of the moving mechanism 2, the rotation angle of the rotating sleeve 27, the displacement of the sliding rod 216, and the tightness of the sling 2105 are controlled, so as to ensure that the sling 2105 can be in a vertical state, which is beneficial to supporting the surgeon.

[0021] A second motor 24 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the bottom case 23, and the second motor 24 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the bottom case 23. The output end of the second motor 24 is in spline fit with the moving seat 29, that is, there is no vertical force between the second motor 24 and the moving seat 29. An inner wall of the upper part of the rotating sleeve 27 is fixedly connected with a convex ring 28. A circular ring 26 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the moving seat 29. A ball track 25 is arranged on the outer edge of the circular ring 26, and the ball track 25 supports the bottom of the convex ring 28 upward. A ball is arranged between the ball track 25 and the convex ring 28. Through the convex ring 28 and the circular ring 26, the moving seat 29 supports the rotating sleeve 27, and the arranged ball ensures the smooth rotation of the rotating sleeve 27 relative to the moving seat 29.

[0022] A first motor 22 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the bottom case 23. The first motor 22 is located on one side of the second motor 24. Belt pulleys 213 are fixedly connected to the ends of the first motor 22 and the screw rod 215 respectively. A belt 214 is sleeved on the belt pulley 213.
