Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of surgical robots, and in particular to a multi-degree-of-freedom surgical robot based on a high-rigidity parallelogram telecentric mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The human eye socket is a conical bony space with a volume of only approximately 30ml. Once inflammation occurs, the volume of the orbital tissue increases, causing bulging of the eyeball and exophthalmos. When patients are insensitive to or intolerant of radiation therapy and hormonal treatments, orbital decompression surgery becomes the only effective means of alleviating compressive optic neuropathy and exposure keratitis. Orbital decompression surgery expands the orbital volume by chiseling out the orbital bone wall, thereby achieving the therapeutic effect of orbital decompression.

[0003] However, orbital decompression surgery presents a series of challenges, including difficulty, complex anatomy, confined space, limited field of view, inaccurate positioning, and a decompression range that relies entirely on experience. Furthermore, the limited availability of experienced physicians has hindered the widespread adoption of this procedure. With the rise of medical robotics, combining robotic technology with traditional surgical techniques for robot-assisted surgery can effectively address these issues. The robot's positioning mechanism can quickly move surgical tools near the lesion, mimicking the surgical path. The unique design of the telecentric mechanism allows the robot to adjust its position around the target point, ensuring surgical safety. However, orbital decompression surgery requires bone grinding, which generates significant forces. Existing telecentric mechanisms, which typically operate unloaded, lack sufficient rigidity to meet the requirements of this type of surgery. Summary of the Invention

[0027] Throughout this specification, when a component is said to be "connected" to another component, this includes not only "direct connection" but also "indirect connection" with other elements interposed therebetween. Furthermore, when a component is said to "include" a certain component, unless otherwise stated, this does not exclude the inclusion of such other components but rather implies that the component may include such other components.

[0028] When a component is said to be "on" another component, it may be directly on the other component, but there may also be other components between it. In contrast, when a component is said to be "directly" on another component, there are no other components between it.

[0029] Although the terms first, second, etc. are used in some instances herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, descriptions of a first interface and a second interface, etc. are provided. Furthermore, as used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context indicates otherwise. It should be further understood that the terms "comprise" and "include" indicate the presence of the described features, steps, operations, elements, components, items, types, and / or groups, but do not exclude the presence, occurrence, or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, items, types, and / or groups. The terms "or" and "and / or" used herein are interpreted as inclusive, or mean any one or any combination. Therefore, "A, B, or C" or "A, B, and / or C" means "any of the following: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A, B, and C." Exceptions to this definition occur only when the combination of elements, functions, steps, or operations is inherently mutually exclusive in some manner.

These terms refer not only to the meaning indicated in the drawings but also to other meanings or operations of the device during use. For example, if the device in the drawings is turned over, a component previously described as "below" another component may now be described as "above" the other component. Therefore, the exemplary term "below" encompasses both above and below. The device may be rotated 90° or at other angles, and spatially relative terms should be interpreted accordingly.

[0032] like Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a multi-DOF surgical robot based on a high-rigidity parallelogram telecentric mechanism in one embodiment of the present application. As shown in the figure, the multi-DOF surgical robot includes: a base 1, a three-dimensional mobile platform 2, a horizontal rotation mechanism 3, a linear module mechanism 4, a parallelogram mechanism 5, and a surgical tool movable mechanism 6.

[0033] It should be noted that the multi-degree-of-freedom surgical robot described in this application may also include a surgical tool quick release mechanism. Figure 1 The surgical tool quick release mechanism 7 is shown in FIG. It can be understood that, in other embodiments, the multi-degree-of-freedom surgical robot described in the present application may not include the surgical tool quick release mechanism.

[0037] like Figure 2FIG2 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a three-dimensional mobile platform in one embodiment of the present application. As shown in the figure, the three-dimensional mobile platform 2 includes: an X-axis slide 21, a Y-axis slide 22, and the Z-axis slide 23, each of which is connected to a mobile servo motor 24.

[0038] In this embodiment, the three-dimensional moving platform 2 is mainly used to adjust the spatial position of surgical tools.

[0039] Furthermore, the Y-axis slide 22 is fixed horizontally and vertically on the X-axis slide 211 corresponding to the X-axis slide 21; the Z-axis slide 23 is fixed vertically and longitudinally on the Y-axis slide 221 corresponding to the Y-axis slide 22; and the Z-axis slide 231 corresponding to the Z-axis slide 23 is fixed as shown in FIG. Figure 1 The horizontal rotation mechanism 3 described in.

[0040] In this embodiment, the three-dimensional mobile platform 2 is the main mobile mechanism for the multi-degree-of-freedom surgical robot described in this application to achieve multiple degrees of freedom, and is the unit with the largest moving distance in the multi-degree-of-freedom surgical robot described in this application. Among them, it is composed of an X-axis slide 21, a Y-axis slide 22, and the Z-axis slide 23, which can achieve a large range of movement in three dimensions. Each slide corresponds to a slide, which is driven by a corresponding mobile servo motor 24 to achieve movement of the slide in the corresponding axial direction. For example, the mobile servo motor 24 drives the movement of the X-axis slide 211, which can achieve movement in the X-axis direction.

[0041] In some embodiments, the X-axis slide 21 , the Y-axis slide 22 , and the Z-axis slide 23 can be moved simultaneously, individually, or sequentially in an XYZ sequence driven by the movement servo motor 24 .

[0045] In the present application, each photoelectric switch 25 is relatively fixed relative to each axial slide, and each sensor sheet 26 is relatively fixed relative to each axial slide, and each axial slide is relatively movable relative to each axial slide. Therefore, each sensor sheet 26 is also relatively movable relative to the corresponding photoelectric switch 25. Through the relative movement of the sensor sheet 26 and the photoelectric switch 25, the light beam of the photoelectric switch 25 can be blocked or reflected, so that the circuit of the photoelectric switch 25 is turned on and off, thereby realizing the recording of the number of axial movements.

[0046] It should be noted that the X-axis slide 21, the Y-axis slide 22, and the Z-axis slide 23 are all made of high-strength materials, such as alloys and metals, to solve the problem of insufficient rigidity of the existing telecentric mechanisms, which are mostly operated at no load, due to the large force generated when grinding bones during orbital decompression surgery.
