Finally, the upper housing 13 is joined to the lower housing 17, and the upper clips 18 are fastened to both ends of the housing.
[0055] Simultaneously press the two side pressure plates 14 on both sides of the loader 16. The squeezing blocks 141 at the ends of the two side pressure plates 14 push the cylindrical pin 1531 of the ligation clip 153 so that the two ends of the ligation clip 153 are close to each other. The cylindrical pin 1531 slides in the ligation clip slot 161. When the ends of the side pressure plates 14 abut against the stop block 163 of the loader 16 and cannot move further, it indicates that the two side pressure plates 14 have been pressed into place, and the ligation clip 153 changes from the natural state to the semi-closed state.
[0056] Finally, the upper pressing plate 11 is pressed downward, the end of the pressing block 111 of the upper pressing plate 11 abuts against the upper sleeve 151 and presses the upper sleeve 151 and the pushing piece 152 into the loader 16 from the fixer 12, the pushing piece 152 moving downward synchronously presses the ligature clip 153 in the semi-closed state into the inside of the cartridge 154, the upper sleeve 151 and the lower sleeve 155 are buckled to each other to fix the cartridge 154, the ligature clip 153 and the pushing piece 152 in the inside of the cartridge 154, the loading is completed, and the buckle 18 is released to disassemble the loading mechanism 10 and take out the cartridge assembly 15.
[0057] The assembly relationship of each part of the cartridge assembly 15 is shown in Figures 8 to 12 As shown in the figure, the cartridge 154 is a U-shaped groove structure, the pushing piece 152 is installed in the inside of the cartridge 154, and the ligature clip 153 is made of degradable material and is placed in the gap between the pushing piece 152 and the cartridge 154. The pushing piece 152 and the cartridge 154 are both processed with a plurality of inclined plate pushers 1522, and the inclined plate pushers 1522 of the pushing piece 152 and the cartridge 154 are located on the same side, and the inclined plate pushers 1522 correspond to the positions of the ligature clip 153 one by one. The inclined plate pusher 1522 of the pushing piece 152 is used to abut against the cylindrical pin 1531 of the ligature clip 153 to push the next ligature clip 153 to the position of the previous ligature clip 153, and the inclined plate pusher 1522 of the cartridge 154 is used to prevent the ligature clip 153 pushed forward from retreating when the pushing piece 152 resets.
[0058] The tail of the pushing piece 152 is provided with a first connecting hole 1521, and the tail of the cartridge 154 is provided with a second connecting hole 1541, which is used to fix the cartridge assembly 15 in the clip applying mechanism 200.

[0060] The ligature clip 153 pushed out of the cartridge 154 gradually recovers to the natural state until the cylindrical pin 1531 at the end of the ligature clip 153 is clamped in the placing groove 1561. When the two clamp heads 156 are closed under the action of external force, the two ends of the ligature clip 153 are buckled together, the U-shaped spring 157 generates elastic force due to deformation, and after the external force is removed, the U-shaped spring 157 releases the elastic force to restore the two clamp heads 156 to the open state.
[0061] The cartridge assembly 15 is installed in the clip applying mechanism 200, and the two clamp heads 156 of the cartridge assembly 15 are outward, and the structure of the clip applying mechanism 200 is shown in Figures 13 to 20The shown. Clip applying mechanism 200 is mainly composed of outrigger pipe 201, hand wheel 202, cartridge clamping piece 203, outrigger pipe seat 204, first spring 205, trigger 206, handle 207, cartridge changer 208, second spring 210, counting assembly 211, slider 212 and yoke 213. In combination Figure 18 It can be seen that the outer side of hand wheel 202 is provided with neck recess 2023, handle 207 is clamped in neck recess 2023 of hand wheel 202, and hand wheel 202 can rotate 360° along its own axis.

Pin shaft 209 is arranged in waist hole 2082 of cartridge changer 208, and one end of cartridge changer 208 is formed with second clamping head 2081. First connecting hole 1521 of pusher 152 in cartridge assembly 15 is clamped with second clamping head 2081 of cartridge changer 208, and second connecting hole 1541 of cartridge 154 in cartridge assembly 15 is clamped with first clamping head 2031 of cartridge clamping piece 203.
[0063] Cartridge clamping piece 203 is fixed on hand wheel 202 through pin shaft 209, so as to ensure that cartridge 154 does not move. Pusher 152 is moved by the movement of cartridge changer 208, and pusher 152 pushes forward ligation clip 153 by using inclined piece push finger 1522 against cylindrical pin 1531 of ligation clip 153.
[0064] Trigger 206 is rotationally connected with handle 207, one end of trigger 206 is formed with hoof part 2061, and hoof part 2061 is located inside handle 207.

Second spring 210 is sleeved outside cartridge changer 208, one end of second spring 210 abuts against slider 212, and the other end abuts against limiting block 2022 inside hand wheel 202.
[0065] By moving the fork 213 outside the handle 207, the slider 212 is simultaneously driven to slide within the second groove 2074. The slider 212 pushes the magazine changer 208 forward, compressing the second spring 210 and giving it elasticity. The magazine changer 208 then drives the pusher 152 forward within the magazine 154. The pusher 152 uses the inclined push finger 1522 to push the next ligation clip 153 forward to the position of the previous ligation clip 153. After releasing the fork 213, the second spring 210 releases its elasticity, pushing the slider 212 back to its initial position, thereby resetting the magazine changer 208 and the pusher 152.
[0066] An extension tube seat 204 is fitted around the outer side of the magazine catcher 208 and the second spring 210. One end of the extension tube seat 204 abuts against the lug part 2061 of the trigger 206, and the other end has a fixing block 2041 formed thereon. The extension tube 201 is fitted around the outer side of the magazine catcher 203 and the extension tube seat 204. A fixing hole 2011 is provided on the side of the extension tube 201, and the fixing hole 2011 and the fixing block 2041 are engaged with each other.
[0067] A thrust plate 2042 is formed at one end of the extension tube seat 204 adjacent to the hoof portion 2061. A first spring 205 is sleeved on the outside of the extension tube seat 204, with one end abutting against the thrust plate 2042 and the other end abutting against the neck of the handwheel 202. A through groove is also provided on the side of the extension tube seat 204, which is aligned with the waist hole 2082 on the magazine changer 208. A pin 209 passes through the combination structure of the through groove and the waist hole 2082, and fixes the magazine catch 203 to the pin seat 2021 inside the handwheel 202.
[0068] By pulling the trigger 206, the trigger 206 rotates, causing the hoof part 2061 to move forward. The hoof part 2061 simultaneously pushes the extension tube seat 204 forward. The first spring 205 is compressed and has elastic potential energy. The forward movement of the extension tube seat 204 simultaneously drives the extension tube 201 forward. The end of the extension tube 201 away from the handwheel 202 squeezes the two clamp heads 156 in the magazine assembly 15, causing the two clamp heads 156 to move closer to each other, and fastening the ligation clip 153 to the place where the patient needs to be closed. The U-shaped spring 157 connected to the two clamp heads 156 deforms and has elastic potential energy.
[0069] After the trigger 206 is released, the first spring 205 releases its elastic potential energy to push the extension tube seat 204 back to its initial position. The extension tube seat 204 then simultaneously drives the extension tube 201 to reset. The two clamps 156 are no longer squeezed by the extension tube 201. Therefore, the U-shaped spring 157 releases its elastic potential energy to restore the two clamps 156 from the closed state to the open state.
[0070] The clamping mechanism 200 also includes a counting component 211, which is assembled with the handle 207.Figure 16 、 Figure 17 、 Figure 20 The counting component 211 includes a counting plate 2111, a retreat stop plate 2112, a ratchet 2113, and a torsion spring 2114. The top of the counting plate 2111 is processed with numbers for displaying the number of the ligature clips 153 remaining in the magazine 154, and the bottom of the counting plate 2111 is provided with step slots 21111 corresponding to the numbers. The top end of the inside of the handle 207 is provided with a first sliding groove 2072, and the counting plate 2111 is slidingly connected in the first sliding groove 2072. The top of the handle 207 is provided with an observation port 2071 for observing the numbers on the counting plate.
[0071] The first sliding groove 2072 is formed with a suspension block 2073 below, and the suspension block 2073 is connected to the inner wall of the handle 207. The first sliding groove 2072 is provided with a first notch 20721 and a second notch 20722 adjacent to the suspension block 2073. One end of the retreat stop plate 2112 is mounted on the suspension block 2073, and the other end is protruded upward to form an arc-shaped portion inserted into the step slot 21111 at the bottom of the counting plate 2111 through the first notch 20721 to prevent the counting plate 2111 from retreating. The torsion spring 2114 is mounted inside the ratchet 2113, and the ratchet 2113 is mounted in the groove at the top of the sliding block 212. The ratchet 2113 is pressed into the groove due to the limited space, and the torsion spring 2114 generates elastic force due to deformation. The retreat stop plate 2112 and the ratchet 2113 are parallel to each other.
[0072] When the sliding block 212 moves forward, the ratchet 2113 moves forward synchronously, and the second spring 210 is compressed. When the ratchet 2113 moves to the second notch 20722, the activity space increases, the torsion spring 2114 releases the elastic force to pop up the ratchet 2113, and the front end of the ratchet 2113 is inserted into the step slot 21111 at the bottom of the counting plate 2111 through the second notch 20722. At the same time, the ratchet 2113 continues to move forward to push the counting plate 2111 forward by a width of the step slot 21111, so that a new number is displayed in the observation port. The arc-shaped portion of the retreat stop plate 2112 is inserted into the step slot 21111 from the first notch 20721, and the counting plate 2111 moves forward. The arc-shaped portion of the retreat stop plate 2112 slides from the previous step slot 21111 to the next step slot 21111 to prevent the counting plate 2111 from retreating.
[0073] When the sliding block 212 is reset by the second spring 210, the ratchet 2113 moves backward synchronously, the activity space decreases, and the ratchet 2113 is pressed into the groove at the top of the sliding block 212 again. The torsion spring 2114 stores elastic potential energy, and the ratchet 2113 is popped up by the torsion spring 2114 during the next change of the magazine 154, so that the number of the ligature clips 153 remaining in the magazine 154 is displayed synchronously through the numbers on the counting plate 2111.
[0074] The working principle of the continuous firing clamp is as follows: First, install two clamp heads 156 and U-shaped springs 157 on the magazine 154, install the lower sleeve 155 and the magazine 154 in the lower shell 17, and install the loader 16 in the lower shell 17 above the magazine 154. The holder 12 is installed in the holder clamping groove 131 of the upper shell 13, the upper sleeve 151 and the pusher 152 are clamped at the bottom of the holder 12, and then a plurality of ligature clamps 153 are installed in the ligature clamp clamping groove 161 of the loader 16, and the side pressure plates 14 are placed on both sides of the loader 16. Then, the upper shell 13 and the lower shell 17 are butted, and the buckles 18 at both ends of the shells are buckled to connect the upper shell 13 and the lower shell 17 into a whole.
[0075] At the same time, press the two side pressure plates 14 on both sides of the loader 16, the extrusion blocks 141 at the ends of the two side pressure plates 14 push the cylindrical pins 1531 of the ligature clamps 153 to make the two ends of the ligature clamps 153 close to each other, and when the ends of the side pressure plates 14 abut against the stop blocks 163 of the loader 16 and cannot continue to move, it indicates that the two side pressure plates 14 have been pressed into place, and then the ligature clamps 153 are extruded from the natural state to the semi-closed state.
[0076] Finally, press the upper pressure plate 11 downward, the pressure block 111 at the bottom of the upper pressure plate 11 pushes the upper sleeve 151 to move downward, the pusher 152 and the ligature clamps 153 in the semi-closed state are simultaneously pressed into the inside of the magazine 154, the upper sleeve 151 and the lower sleeve 155 are buckled to fix the magazine 154, the ligature clamps 153 and the pusher 152 inside, and the buckles 18 are loosened to disassemble the loader 10 and take out the magazine assembly 15.
[0077] The magazine assembly 15 is installed in the outer extension pipe 201 with the two clamp heads 156 outward, until the first connecting hole 1521 of the pusher 152 is buckled with the second clamping head 2081 of the magazine changer 208, and the second connecting hole 1541 of the magazine 154 is buckled with the first clamping head 2031 of the magazine clamping piece 203.
[0078] Then, the reloading operation is performed, the pawl 213 arranged outside the handle 207 is actuated, the pawl 213 synchronously drives the sliding block 212 to slide in the second sliding groove 2074, the sliding block 212 pushes the magazine changer 208 to move forward, and the second spring 210 is compressed to have elastic force. The magazine clamping piece 203 is fixed on the hand wheel 202 through the pin shaft 209, so as to ensure that the magazine 154 does not move.
[0079] The pusher 152 is pushed forward by the pusher 152 with the inclined pusher finger 1522 to push the next ligator clip 153 to the position of the previous ligator clip 153. The ligator clip 153 at the head of the cartridge 154 is pushed by the pusher 152 to the forceps head 156 and slides along the forceps head 156. The ligator clip 153 gradually restores to the natural state during the sliding process until the cylindrical pin 1531 of the ligator clip 153 is clamped in the placing groove 1561 at the end of the forceps head 156.
[0080] After the release of the release fork 213, the second spring 210 releases the elastic force to push the slider 212 back to the initial position, so that the magazine changer 208 is reset, and the pusher 152 is reset by the magazine changer 208.
[0081] During the forward movement of the slider 212 driven by the release fork 213, the ratchet 2113 also moves forward synchronously. When the ratchet 2113 moves to the second notch 20722, the torsional spring 2114 releases the elastic force to pop up the ratchet 2113. The front end of the ratchet 2113 penetrates the second notch 20722 and is inserted into the stepping groove 21111 at the bottom of the counting plate 2111.
[0082] At the same time, the ratchet 2113 continues to move forward to push the counting plate 2111 forward by a width of the stepping groove 21111, so that a new number is displayed in the observation hole 2071. The arc-shaped part of the stop plate 2112 is inserted into the stepping groove 21111 from the first notch 20721. When the counting plate 2111 moves forward, the arc-shaped part of the stop plate 2112 slides from the previous stepping groove 21111 to the next stepping groove 21111 to prevent the counting plate 2111 from retreating.
[0083] When the slider 212 is pushed backward by the second spring 210, the ratchet 2113 is also moved backward synchronously. The ratchet 2113 is pressed into the groove at the top of the slider 212 again due to the reduction of the activity space. The torsional spring 2114 stores elastic potential energy due to deformation, and the ratchet 2113 is popped up by the torsional spring 2114 during the next magazine changing, so that the number of remaining ligator clips 153 in the cartridge 154 is displayed synchronously through the numbers on the counting plate 2111.
[0084] Then, the trigger 206 is pulled away from one end of the hoof part 2061, and the trigger 206 rotates to move the hoof part 2061 on the trigger 206 forward by using the lever principle. The outer extension pipe seat 204 is pushed forward synchronously, and the first spring 205 is compressed to have elastic potential energy. The outer extension pipe seat 204 moves forward to drive the outer extension pipe 201 to move forward synchronously. The outer extension pipe 201 away from the hand wheel 202 end extrudes the two forceps heads 156 in the cartridge assembly 15 to make the two forceps heads 156 close to each other, and the ligator clip 153 is clamped at the place that needs to be closed for treatment of the patient. The U-shaped spring 157 connected with the two forceps heads 156 is deformed to have elastic potential energy.
[0085] After the trigger 206 is released, the first spring 205 releases its elastic potential energy to push the extension tube seat 204 back to its initial position. The extension tube seat 204 then simultaneously drives the extension tube 201 to reset. After the extension tube 201 is reset, the jaws 156 are no longer squeezed. The U-shaped spring 157 releases its elastic potential energy to return the two jaws 156 from the closed state to the open state.
[0086] When reloading is required, simply shift the fork 213 located outside the handle 207 again. The fork 213 simultaneously moves the slider 212 and the magazine changer 208 forward, compressing the second spring 210 and giving it elasticity. The magazine changer 208 then moves the pusher 152 forward within the magazine 154. The pusher 152 uses the inclined pusher finger 1522 to push the next ligature clip 153 to the position of the previous ligature clip 153. At the same time, the number of remaining ligature clips 153 displayed on the counter 2111 in the magazine 154 is also updated synchronously.
[0087] The ligature 153 located at the head of the magazine 154 is pushed to the jaw 156 by the pusher 152 and slides along the jaw 156 until the cylindrical pin 1531 of the ligature 153 is engaged in the placement groove 1561 at the ends of the two jaws 156, thereby achieving reloading.
[0088] After the shift fork 213 is released, the second spring 210 releases its elastic force to push the slider 212 back to its initial position, thereby resetting the cartridge changer 208. The cartridge changer 208 then drives the pusher 152 to reset.
[0089] The handwheel 202 can rotate 360°, and the magazine changer 208, the extension tube seat 204, the extension tube 201, the magazine catch 203, and the magazine assembly 15 can also rotate 360° with the handwheel 202, thus enabling operation within a 360° range during the operation.
