For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0069] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0070] The clip applicator and stapler are used in minimally invasive surgery. The clip applicator is used to fix the ligating clip on the blood vessel to block the blood flow in the blood vessel. The blood flow in the blood vessel is blocked by the closure of the ligating clip, and the selection of the model (i.e., the size) of the ligating clip depends on the diameter of the blood vessel. The stapler is used to cut and suture tissues. The tissue is sutured through the closing effect of the staples, and the selection of the model of the staples depends on the thickness of the tissue at the surgical site. The surgical instrument of the present application includes a clip applicator and a stapler. The present application will be described in detail below taking the clip applicator as an example.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the surgical instrument includes a working head 10, an end effector 20 connected to the working head 10, a shaft assembly 30 connecting the working head 10 and the end effector 20, a data acquisition unit 40 provided on the end effector 20, and a control unit (not shown) communicatively connected to the data acquisition unit 40. A motor (not shown) communicatively connected to the control unit, a battery for supplying power to the motor, and a transmission assembly (not shown) for transmitting the output force of the motor to the shaft assembly 30 are provided in the working head 10. A magazine clip (not shown), an ejection assembly 31 connected to the transmission assembly to push the ligating clip in the magazine clip into the end effector 20, and a firing rod (not shown) connected to the transmission assembly to transmit the output force of the motor to the end effector 20 to close the end effector 20 to close the ligating clip are provided in the shaft assembly 30. In this embodiment, the structures of the working head 10, the shaft assembly 30, and the magazine clip adopt the prior art, so they will not be described in detail herein. The data acquisition unit 40 acquires tissue data of the surgical site (not shown), and the control unit acquires the tissue data to determine the closing value of the end effector 20, and drives the motor to drive the end effector 20 to operate according to the closing value of the end effector 20. In this embodiment, since the surgical instrument is a clip applicator, correspondingly, the closing value of its end effector 20 is the closing value of the ligating clip 50, the tissue is a blood vessel, and the tissue data is the diameter of the blood vessel.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the data acquisition unit 40 is a camera, the tissue data is a tissue image of the surgical site captured by the camera 40, and the tissue image is used to display the diameter of the blood vessel. The camera 40 is embedded in the end effector 20. Specifically, the end effector 20 includes two clamping jaws 21 arranged oppositely and relatively movable. The two clamping jaws 21 are driven by a firing rod to open or close. When they are closed, the two clamping jaws 21 close the ligating clip 50 therebetween. The structures of the two clamping jaws 21 and the connection relationship between the two clamping jaws 21 and the firing rod are similar to those of the prior art. The difference is that a groove for accommodating the camera 40 is recessed in one clamping jaw 21. By embedding the camera 40 in the groove, the overall structure of the surgical instrument is made more compact and the overall volume is reduced. Of course, in other embodiments, there may be multiple cameras 40, which are arranged on the two clamping jaws 21 or on the same clamping jaw 21. In addition, the camera 40 may not be provided on the end effector 20. The camera 40 may be provided on one side of the end effector 20. In addition, the end effector 20 may be moved through a control rod to achieve shooting at different positions.

[0073] In addition to the camera 40 given in this embodiment, in other embodiments, the data acquisition unit 40 may also be a ranging sensor, and the organized data may be the diameter of the blood vessel measured by the ranging sensor, or the organized data may be the distance value between the ranging sensor and the blood vessel. It should be noted that if a ranging sensor is used, the number of ranging sensors is at least two, and the two ranging sensors are respectively arranged on the two clamps 21 or are arranged opposite to each other. When the ranging sensor measures the diameter of the blood vessel, the blood vessel needs to be placed between the two ranging sensors, and the working principle of the ranging sensor will not be described in detail here.

[0074] It is true that if the surgical instrument is a stapler, the structure of the stapler can adopt the existing technology, and the difference is that: the processing methods of the data acquisition unit and the control unit are added. At this time, the end effector closing value includes the closing value of the staple, the tissue is the tissue to be cut and sutured, and the tissue data is the thickness of the tissue. It should be noted that in the application of the stapler, the tissue data is obtained by the data acquisition unit after the clamp is closed. If the data acquisition unit is a camera, the position where the camera is arranged is the position where the thickness of the sutured tissue can be photographed. It can be embedded in the end effector or arranged on one side of the end effector. If the data acquisition unit is a ranging sensor, the number of ranging sensors is also two or more. Generally, the ranging sensor is embedded in the end effector, and the tissue data is the tissue thickness measured by the ranging sensor, or the tissue data is the distance value measured by the ranging sensor.

[0075] In this embodiment, the clip applicator further includes a reminder unit 60 communicatively connected to the control unit. The control unit determines whether the end effector 20 closing value meets the closing condition of the end effector 20 and outputs the determination result through the reminder unit 60. In addition, the control unit can also determine the working mode according to the end effector 20 closing value and output the mode information corresponding to the working mode through the reminder unit 60. In this embodiment, the mode information includes one or both of the type of the end effector 20 and the type of the cartridge clip. Generally, the mode information is the type of the end effector 20 and the type of the cartridge clip. The reminder unit 60 may be a display unit 60 or a playback unit, preferably the display unit 60, specifically a display screen. Through the display unit 60, the surgeon can see the type of the end effector 20 and the type of the cartridge clip required for this operation. At the same time, the display unit 60 displays whether the type of the currently installed end effector 20 and the type of the cartridge clip are appropriate, so as to avoid affecting the surgical effect due to inappropriate types of the end effector 20 and the cartridge clip used. It should be noted that if the surgical instrument is a stapler, its working mode includes one or both of the type of the end effector 20 and the type of the staple cartridge assembly.

[0076] To improve the user experience of the surgical operator and understand the formation process of the ligating clip 50 and the clip-forming effect of the ligating clip 50, the clip applicator further includes at least one displacement sensor (not shown) communicatively connected to the control unit. The displacement sensor collects displacement data when the end effector 20 closes. The control unit obtains the actual closing execution route of the end effector 20 based on the displacement data, determines whether the actual closing execution route conforms to a preset expected closing execution route, and outputs the determination result through the reminder unit 60. In this embodiment, since the reminder unit 60 uses a display screen, the control unit can also generate a simulation image based on the actual closing execution route and display it through the display unit 60. Of course, the reminder unit 60 may not display the simulation image but only display the determination result, and the determination result is the clip-forming effect of the ligating clip 50. The output of the clip-forming effect can be any one or more of text, color, display lamp, and sound. In this embodiment, since the data acquisition unit 40 uses a camera 40, in addition to displaying the simulation image, it is also possible to select to display the image actually captured by the camera 40. Specifically: the display unit 60 acquires and displays the image data collected by the camera 40. Specifically, the control unit acquires the image data collected by the camera 40 and transmits it to the display unit 60 for display by the display unit 60. The display unit 60 is specifically a display screen integrated on the working head 10.

[0077] It should be noted that when the surgical instrument is a stapler, if a displacement sensor is used, at least two displacement sensors need to be arranged. The distance between the two clampers is a parameter for forming the staple ejection distance and the closing effect. The movement of the pull rod determines the staple ejection time and sequence. Therefore, as long as the displacement data when the end effector (two clampers) closes and the displacement data when the pull rod moves are monitored and collected, the staple ejection effect can be obtained. Specifically: the displacement sensor includes at least one first displacement sensor arranged on the end effector and at least one second displacement sensor arranged on the pull rod. The first displacement sensor collects the first displacement data when the end effector closes, and the second displacement sensor collects the second displacement data when the pull rod moves. The control unit obtains the actual closing execution route of the end effector based on the first displacement data and the second displacement data.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 3 , which shows a flowchart of a control method for a surgical instrument provided by an embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, this method is used for Figure 1 the clip applicator shown for example. Please see Figure 3 and in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the control method for a surgical instrument includes:

[0079] Step 101: Obtain the tissue data of the surgical site collected by the data acquisition unit 40; determine the closing value of the end effector 20 according to the tissue data.

[0080] Step 102: Drive the motor to drive the end effector 20 to operate according to the closing value of the end effector 20.

[0081] Step 103: Confirm whether the closing condition of the end effector 20 is met according to the closing value of the end effector 20.

[0082] Step 104: Send the determination result to the reminder unit 60.

[0083] The reminder unit 60 can be a display unit 60 or a playback unit. The control method can also determine the working mode according to the closing value of the end effector 20; send the working mode to the reminder unit 60 to output the mode information corresponding to the working mode. The mode information includes one or both of the type of the end effector 20 to be used and the type of the cartridge clip. It should be noted that in practical applications, the control method of the surgical instrument may only include Step 101 and Step 102.

[0084] Through the display unit 60, the surgeon can see the type of the end effector 20 and the type of the cartridge clip required for this surgery. At the same time, the display shows whether the type of the currently installed end effector 20 and the type of the cartridge clip are appropriate, so as to avoid the inappropriate type of the end effector 20 and the type of the cartridge clip from affecting the surgical effect. It should be noted that if the surgical instrument is a stapler, its working mode includes one or both of the type of the end effector 20 and the type of the staple cartridge assembly.

[0085] In order to improve the user experience of the surgeon, understand the formation process of the ligating clip 50 and the clamping effect of the ligating clip 50, the present application provides an implementation method. The control method further includes:

[0086] Obtain the displacement data when the end effector 20 is closed collected by the displacement sensor;

[0087] Determine the actual closing execution route of the end effector 20 according to the displacement data;

[0088] Judge whether the actual closing execution route conforms to the preset expected closing execution route;

[0089] Send the determination result to the reminder unit 60.

[0090] When the reminder unit 60 is the display unit 60, the present application can also provide another implementation method. The control method can further include:

[0091] Obtain the displacement data when the end effector 20 is closed collected by the displacement sensor;

[0092] Determine the actual closing execution route of the end effector 20 according to the displacement data;

[0093] Generate a simulation image according to the actual closing execution route;

[0094] Send the simulation image to the display unit 60 for display.

[0095] In practical applications, the control method of this surgical instrument can only implement one of the above two implementation methods, or can implement both at the same time. When both are implemented at the same time, the display unit 60 and the reminder unit 60 are one component. When the reminder unit 60 does not display the simulation image and only displays the determination result, the determination result is to display the clamping effect of the ligating clip 50, and the output of the clamping effect can be any one or more of text, color, display lamp, and sound. In this embodiment, since the data acquisition unit 40 uses a camera 40, in addition to displaying the simulation image, the image actually captured by the camera 40 can also be directly displayed. Specifically: the display unit 60 acquires the image data collected by the camera 40 and displays it. The control unit acquires the image data collected by the camera 40 and transmits it to the display unit 60, which is displayed by the display unit 60. The display unit 60 is a display screen integrated on the working head 10.

[0096] It should be noted that when the surgical instrument is a stapler, there are two ways to obtain the nail-out effect (the closing effect of the staples).

[0097] The first control method is:

[0098] Obtain the first displacement data when the end effector is closed collected by the first displacement sensor, and obtain the second displacement data when the pull rod moves collected by the second displacement sensor;

[0099] Obtain the actual closing execution route of the end effector according to the first displacement data and the second displacement data;

[0100] Judge whether the actual closing execution route conforms to the preset expected closing execution route according to the actual closing execution route;

[0101] Send the determination result to the reminder unit.

[0102] The second control method is:

[0103] Obtain the first displacement data when the end effector is closed collected by the first displacement sensor, and obtain the second displacement data when the pull rod moves collected by the second displacement sensor;

[0104] Obtain the actual closing execution route of the end effector according to the first displacement data and the second displacement data;

[0105] Judge whether it conforms to the preset expected closed execution route according to the actual closed execution route;

[0106] Send the determination result to the reminder unit.

[0107] Similarly, in practical applications, the above two control methods can exist simultaneously or only one of them can exist.

[0108] This embodiment also discloses a surgical treatment device, which includes a memory and a processor. At least one program instruction is stored in the memory, and the processor executes the control method of the above surgical instrument by loading and executing at least one program instruction.

[0109] This embodiment also discloses a computer storage medium, in which at least one program instruction is stored, and the at least one program instruction is loaded and executed by the processor to execute the control method of the above surgical instrument.

[0110] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope recorded in this specification.

[0111] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
