Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly to a surgical instrument, a disinfection device, a method, a medium, a terminal and a robot system. Background Art

[0002] A surgical robot is a complex integrating multiple modern high-tech means and has been applied to various surgical scenarios. A surgeon can operate the machine away from the operating table for surgery, which is completely different from the traditional surgical concept and is a revolutionary surgical tool in the field of minimally invasive surgery in the world.

[0003] Using robots for surgical operations has become increasingly popular. It is reported that in the United States alone in 2004, robots successfully completed 20,000 various surgical operations from prostatectomy to cardiac surgery. When using a robot for surgery, the doctor's hands do not need to touch the patient. Once the incision position is determined, the robotic arm equipped with a camera and other surgical tools will perform actions such as cutting, hemostasis and suturing. The surgeon only needs to sit at the console, usually in the operating room, and use the console to observe and guide the robotic arm to work. Some surgeons also use a robot system called "Da Vinci" for cardiac surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and birth control surgeries.

[0004] For a surgical robot, as a necessary tool, after each use, the surgical instrument must be disinfected before it can be used again to prevent cross-infection.

[0005] When disinfecting a surgical instrument, it is necessary to record the disinfection of the surgical instrument to ensure that the disinfection situation of the surgical instrument is recorded to indicate whether the surgical instrument has been disinfected. However, the traditional recording method is to record manually, corresponding to record after each instrument is disinfected. But this recording method is very easy to forget due to human error, resulting in the situation of mixing disinfected surgical instruments and undisinfected surgical instruments, seriously affecting the safety of using surgical instruments.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new technical solution for disinfection detection of surgical instruments to solve the above problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Further, the information detection module further includes an ultraviolet sensor. When the surgical instrument is being disinfected, the ultraviolet sensor is used to collect ultraviolet intensity information, and the storage chip is used to store the ultraviolet intensity information and the ultraviolet time information corresponding to the ultraviolet intensity information.

[0058] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used herein shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains. The words such as "including" used herein mean that the elements or objects appearing before this word cover the elements or objects listed after this word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects.

[0059] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, embodiments of the present invention provide a surgical instrument, a disinfection device, a method, a medium, a terminal and a robot system. The disinfection detection device stores and records the disinfection situation of the surgical instrument. When the surgical instrument is mounted or connected to the robotic arm / operating end of the surgical robot for use, the surgical robot reads the disinfection information stored in the surgical instrument, thereby judging the disinfection situation of the surgical instrument and providing corresponding disinfection situation indication information. For example, the disinfection situation indication information is provided through an indicating device such as a display screen, the surgical instrument or an indicator provided at any place of the surgical robot, so that the operator, such as a doctor or a nurse, can directly obtain the disinfection situation of the surgical instrument, avoid the situation of forgetting in manual disinfection operations, and ensure the safe progress of surgical operations.

[0060] As Figure 1 shown, it shows the surgical application scenario of a surgical robot. In an exemplary embodiment, the surgical robot includes a doctor's console 100 and a surgical trolley 200. A master manipulator (not labeled) is provided on the doctor's console 100. The surgical trolley 200 has a plurality of robotic arms 201, and a surgical instrument 2 and an endoscope 7 can be respectively mounted on the robotic arms 201. The main operation process of the surgical robot is that an operator (e.g., a surgeon) remotely operates through the doctor's console 100 and the master manipulator to perform minimally invasive surgery on a patient on a hospital bed. Among them, the master manipulator and the robotic arms 201 and the surgical instrument form a master-slave control relationship. Specifically, the robotic arms 201 and the surgical instrument 2 move according to the operation of the master manipulator during the surgery, that is, they move according to the operator's hand operating the master manipulator. Further, the master manipulator can also be set to receive the force information of the human tissue and organ on the surgical instrument and feedback it to the operator's hand, so that the operator can more intuitively feel the surgical operation. The doctor's console 100 has a display device, and this display device is communicatively connected to the endoscope 7 mounted on the robotic arm 201 of the surgical trolley 200, and can receive and display the images collected by the endoscope, such as the images of the lesion in the patient's abdomen. The operator controls the movement of the robotic arm and the surgical instrument through the master manipulator according to the images displayed on the display device of the doctor's console 100. The endoscope and the surgical instrument respectively enter the patient's position through the holes generated by the puncturing instrument on the patient's body.

[0061] Optionally, in some surgeries, the surgical robot further includes auxiliary components such as an image trolley 300, an instrument table 400, a ventilator, and an anesthesia machine 500 for use during the surgery. Those skilled in the art can select and configure these auxiliary components according to the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0062] As Figures 2 to 5 shown, the present invention provides a surgical instrument. The surgical instrument 2 includes: an information detection module 3 and a mounting end 21, an instrument rod 22, and an end effector 23 connected in sequence. The information detection module 3 is used to collect and store parameter information related to the disinfection process during the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2. The mounting end 21 is used to connect the surgical instrument 2 to the manipulation end, and the manipulation end is used to operate the surgical instrument 2.

[0063] It should be noted that the above surgical instrument 2 is a surgical instrument used by a surgical robot during a surgical operation. It is mainly mounted or connected to the robotic arm of the surgical robot, and then the motor in the robotic arm drives the surgical instrument 2 to move. Specifically, after the robotic arm outputs power to the mounting end 21, the mounting end 21 controls the end effector 23 at the end of the instrument rod 22 to complete corresponding actions, so as to complete different surgical operation processes through the surgical instrument 2. As is known to those skilled in the art, since surgical instruments need to be disinfected, the surgical instrument itself does not have any power supply module or power source, but needs to work by the power output from the motor in the robotic arm.

[0064] Further, one end of the mounting end 21 is connected to the instrument rod 22, the other end of the instrument rod 22 is connected to the end effector 23, and the information detection module 3 is arranged on the mounting end 21.

[0065] The information detection module 3 is arranged on the mounting end 21 of the surgical instrument 2, which is convenient for detecting and recording relevant parameter information of the surgical instrument 2 during the disinfection process through the information detection module 3 during the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2. The parameter information includes relevant parameters of the surgical instrument 2 during the disinfection process and the time information corresponding to the relevant parameters.

[0066] In some embodiments, the information detection module 3 includes a temperature sensor 31 and a storage chip 32. When the surgical instrument 2 is disinfected, the temperature sensor 31 collects temperature information, and the storage chip 32 stores the temperature information and the temperature time information corresponding to the temperature information.

[0067] When the surgical instrument 2 is sterilized at high temperature, the temperature sensor 31 detects the temperature information of the surgical instrument, and at the same time the storage chip 32 stores the detected temperature information and the temperature time information corresponding to the temperature information, so as to directly read the data in the storage chip 32 subsequently, and the temperature information and the temperature time information of the surgical instrument 2 during the high-temperature disinfection process can be accurately obtained, so as to judge whether the high-temperature disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2 is completed.

[0068] In still other embodiments, the information detection module 3 further includes a pH sensor 33. When the surgical instrument 2 is disinfected, the pH sensor 33 collects pH value information, and the storage chip 32 is used to store the pH value information and the pH value time information corresponding to the pH value information.

[0069] When pickling and disinfecting the surgical instrument 2, the pH value sensor 33 is used to detect the pH value information during the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2 to judge the acid strength. At the same time, the storage chip stores the pH value information and the pH value time information corresponding to the pH value information, so as to record the time of the surgical instrument 2 under different pH value conditions, so that the information in the storage chip 32 can be directly read by an external device later, and the pH value information of the surgical instrument 2 during the pickling and disinfection process and the pH value time information corresponding to the pH value information can be accurately obtained, so as to judge whether the pickling and disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2 is completed.

[0070] In some other embodiments, the information detection module 3 further includes an ultraviolet sensor 34. When disinfecting the surgical instrument 2, the ultraviolet sensor 34 is used to collect the ultraviolet intensity information, and the storage chip 32 is used to store the ultraviolet intensity information and the ultraviolet time information corresponding to the ultraviolet intensity information.

[0071] When disinfecting the surgical instrument 2 with ultraviolet rays, the ultraviolet sensor 34 is used to detect the ultraviolet intensity of the surgical instrument 2 during ultraviolet disinfection. At the same time, the storage chip stores the ultraviolet intensity information detected by the ultraviolet sensor 34 and the time information corresponding to the ultraviolet intensity information, so as to record the disinfection time of the surgical instrument 2 under different ultraviolet intensity conditions, so that the information in the storage chip 32 can be directly read by an external device later, and the ultraviolet intensity information of the surgical instrument 2 during the ultraviolet disinfection process and the time information corresponding to the ultraviolet intensity information can be accurately obtained, so as to judge whether the ultraviolet disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2 is completed.

[0072] By recording and storing the relevant parameter information during the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2 through the information detection module 3 of the surgical instrument 2, not only can the disinfection situation of the surgical instrument 2 be accurately recorded, but also it is convenient for an external device to directly obtain the parameter information during the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2 by reading the information detection module 3 of the surgical instrument 2, so as to understand the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2, and it is convenient to judge whether the surgical instrument is disinfected through the parameter information, realizing the accurate record and reading of the disinfection process of the surgical instrument, avoiding the situation of forgetting due to manual operation, and improving the surgical safety when using the surgical instrument for surgical operation.

[0073] It should be noted that during the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2, the information detection module 3 in the surgical instrument 2 includes at least one of the temperature sensor 31, the pH value sensor 33 and the ultraviolet sensor 34, which is selected according to the actual disinfection requirements of the surgical instrument 2. One of them can be selected to detect a certain kind of data alone, or any two, multiple or all of them can be selected to realize the information detection of the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2.

[0074] Further, the information detection module 3 in the surgical instrument 2 is mainly used to detect and record the relevant parameter information of the surgical instrument during the disinfection process. The sensors for detecting relevant parameters include, but are not limited to, the above-mentioned temperature sensor 31, pH sensor 33, and ultraviolet sensor 34. Other sensors can be selected according to actual needs to detect the relevant parameter information of the surgical instrument during the disinfection process.

[0075] Furthermore, after the information detection module 3 in the surgical instrument 2 detects the relevant parameters during the disinfection process through the sensors, it records and stores the parameter information during the disinfection process through the storage chip 32, including temperature information, pH value information, and ultraviolet intensity information, as well as the temperature time information corresponding to the temperature information, the pH value time information corresponding to the pH value information, and the ultraviolet time information corresponding to the ultraviolet intensity information.

[0076] In some embodiments, the storage chip 32 is an independent microprocessing chip. After receiving the relevant parameters detected by the temperature sensor 31, pH sensor 33, and ultraviolet sensor 34, it directly stores them and stores the corresponding time information of the relevant parameters to obtain the parameter information without the need to rely on external devices. After the surgical instrument 2 completes disinfection, the storage chip 32 can directly send the parameter information to an external device, or the external device can read the parameter information in the storage chip 32, so that the external device can read the parameter information recorded in the storage chip 32 during the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2, thereby accurately judging the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2.

[0077] In some other embodiments, the storage chip 32 is a storage chip compliant with the NFC protocol, hereinafter referred to as the NFC storage chip. The relevant parameters detected by the temperature sensor 31, pH sensor 33, and ultraviolet sensor 34 in the information detection module 3 are read by an external device with NFC reading function, and the relevant parameters and the corresponding time information of the relevant parameters are written into the NFC storage chip in the information detection module 3 to obtain the parameter information, so as to judge whether the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2 is completed by reading the parameter information stored in the NFC storage chip in the information detection module 3.

[0078] As Figures 6 to 8 described above, the present invention also provides a disinfection detection device applied to the above-mentioned surgical instrument. The disinfection detection device includes:

[0079] A disinfection box 1 for disinfecting the surgical instrument 2;

[0080] A reading and writing module 4, which is arranged in the disinfection box 1, is used to read the relevant parameters collected by the information detection module 3, and write and store the relevant parameters and the time information corresponding to the relevant parameters in the information detection module 3 to generate parameter information;

[0081] Wherein, after the surgical instrument 2 is connected to the operating end 21, the operating end 21 can obtain the disinfection information stored in the information detection module 3 to judge whether the surgical instrument has completed disinfection.

[0082] During the disinfection process, after selecting the surgical instrument 2 that needs to be disinfected, the surgical instrument 2 is placed inside the disinfection box 1 for disinfection. During this period, the temperature sensor 31, pH value sensor 33 and ultraviolet sensor 34 in the information detection module 3 are used to detect the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2 to obtain the relevant parameters during the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2. At the same time, the reading and writing module 4 inside the disinfection box 1 directly reads the relevant parameters detected in the information detection module 3, writes the relevant parameters into the storage chip 32 in the information detection module 3, and writes the time information corresponding to the relevant parameters into the storage chip 32 at the same time to obtain the parameter information of the surgical instrument 2 during the disinfection process. In the subsequent use process, when the surgical instrument 2 is mounted on the robotic arm of the surgical robot, electric energy is transmitted to the surgical instrument through the robotic arm and the parameter information stored in the storage chip 32 of the information detection module 3 can be directly read by the processor of the surgical robot. The parameter information includes the relevant parameters when the surgical instrument 2 is disinfected and the time information corresponding to the relevant parameters, and judges whether the surgical instrument 2 has completed disinfection according to the parameter information, so as to complete the record of the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2 and the detection of the disinfection situation, comprehensively understand the disinfection situation of each surgical instrument 2, avoid forgetting due to manual operation, and make the subsequent operation process using the surgical instrument 2 safer. In some embodiments, the surgical robot includes an NFC communication module to read the parameter information in the storage chip 32 by using the NFC communication protocol, that is, read the parameter information by wireless communication.

[0083] The surgical instrument in this embodiment is an instrument used by a surgical robot. Different surgical instruments correspond to different functions, and no special requirements are made for specific surgical instruments.

[0084] In a possible implementation manner, such as Figure 6As shown, the disinfection box 1 includes a box body 11 and a box cover 12. The reading and writing module 4 is installed on the side of the box cover 12 facing the box body 11 to interact with the information detection module 3 on the surgical instrument 2. When the surgical instrument 2 is placed inside the disinfection box 1 for disinfection treatment, the information detection module 3 installed on the surgical instrument 2 constantly detects relevant parameters of the surgical instrument 2 during disinfection inside the disinfection box 1 through a sensor. At the same time, after the reading and writing module 4 reads the relevant parameters detected by the sensor of the information detection module 3, it writes the parameter information and the corresponding time information of the parameter information into the storage chip 32 of the information detection module 3 to generate parameter information, so that the processor of the subsequent surgical robot can directly read the parameter information of the surgical instrument 2 to judge the disinfection situation.

[0085] Preferably, corresponding to the above NFC storage chip, the reading and writing module 4 uses an NFC reader head. When the surgical instrument 2 is undergoing disinfection treatment inside the disinfection box 1, the information detection module 3 inside the surgical instrument 2 detects relevant parameters during the disinfection process through an internal sensor, and the reading and writing module 4 reads the relevant parameters detected by the information detection module 3 and writes the relevant parameters and the corresponding time information of the relevant parameters into the storage chip 32 to obtain the parameter information during the disinfection process, that is, in the NFC storage chip, thereby realizing non-contact information transmission and interaction. The entire process uses the NFC principle to achieve non-contact signal transmission and interaction, which can not only accurately record the parameter information during the disinfection of the surgical instrument 2, but also effectively improve the safety of the entire device in a non-contact manner.

[0086] Since the basic principle of NFC is to provide instant power supply in a non-contact manner to complete instant information transmission, in this embodiment, based on the NFC principle, the reading and writing module 4 reads the relevant parameters detected by the information detection module 3 and at the same time emits an electromagnetic signal to the NFC storage chip of the information detection module 3, and writes the relevant parameters and the corresponding time information of the relevant parameters into the NFC storage chip to obtain the parameter information, thus completing the entire information interaction process.

[0087] In some other embodiments, as Figure 7 shown, at least one instrument holder 6 is provided inside the disinfection box 1. The instrument holder 6 includes a rod slot 62 and a module slot 61. When the surgical instrument 2 is placed in the instrument holder 6, the mounting end 21 is fixed inside the module slot 61 and the instrument rod 22 is fixed inside the rod slot 62. The reading and writing module 4 is installed on the inner wall of the module slot 61.

[0088] In the above-mentioned disinfection box 1, the surgical instrument 2 is fixed inside the disinfection box 1 through the instrument holder 6, so as to facilitate the disinfection of the surgical instrument 2 and at the same time facilitate the information interaction between the reading and writing module 4 and the information detection module 3. Specifically, during use, the installation end 21 of the surgical instrument 2 is placed and fixed in the module slot 61, and the instrument rod 22 is fixed inside the rod slot 62, thereby stably fixing the surgical instrument 2 for disinfection treatment.

[0089] At this time, since the reading and writing module 4 is directly installed on the inner wall of the module slot 61 of the instrument holder 6, corresponding to the information detection module 3 provided on the installation end 21, the reading and writing module 4 and the information detection module 3 can be close to each other and in contact, realizing contact connection-based information interaction. When the surgical instrument 2 is being disinfected, the reading and writing module 4 directly interacts with the information detection module 3 to read parameter information, and writes the parameter information and the time information corresponding to the parameter information into the information detection module 3 to generate disinfection information, completing the information interaction process.

[0090] Since the reading and writing module 4 is installed on the inner wall of the module slot 62 at this time, when the surgical instrument 2 is being disinfected inside the disinfection box 1, due to the mutual proximity of the information detection module 3 installed on the installation end 21 of the surgical instrument 2 and the reading and writing module 4 on the inner wall of the module slot 62, the signal interaction and transmission between the reading and writing module 4 and the information detection module 3 are realized in a direct contact manner, so as to facilitate the reading and writing module 4 to read the relevant parameters in the information detection module 3 and write the relevant parameters and the time information corresponding to the relevant parameters into the storage chip 32 of the information detection module 3, completing the information interaction process.

[0091] In some embodiments, the reading and writing module 4 and the information detection module 3 perform information interaction in a wired connection manner, specifically by plug-in electrical connection, to realize the information interaction between the reading and writing module 4 and the information detection module 3.

[0092] It should be noted that since the disinfection methods of the surgical instrument 2 mainly include at least one of high-temperature disinfection, ultraviolet disinfection, and pickling disinfection, when specifically performing disinfection treatment, the information detection module 3 can respectively detect temperature information, ultraviolet intensity information, and pH value information to obtain the specific situation of the surgical instrument during disinfection.

[0093] Generally speaking, after the surgical instrument 2 completes the corresponding surgical operation, the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2 mainly includes one or more of rinsing, enzymatic cleaning, pickling, high-temperature disinfection, and ultraviolet disinfection, aiming to completely eliminate the residual germs or debris on the surgical instrument 2, avoid cross-infection, and ensure the safety of the subsequent use of the surgical instrument 2.

[0094] During high-temperature disinfection, the temperature sensor 31 collects temperature information. The reading and writing module 4 reads the temperature information detected by the temperature sensor 31 of the information detection module 3 and writes the temperature information and the temperature-time information corresponding to the temperature information into the storage chip 32.

[0095] When the surgical instrument 2 is undergoing high-temperature disinfection inside the disinfection box 1, since the information detection module 3 collects the temperature information during high-temperature disinfection through its internal temperature sensor 31, then under the action of the reading and writing module 4, it reads the temperature information detected by the temperature sensor 31 in the information detection module 3. At the same time, the reading and writing module 4 records the time information corresponding to the temperature information, including the start time and end time of different temperatures. Then the reading and writing module 4 writes the read temperature information and the time information corresponding to the temperature information into the storage chip 32 inside the information detection module 3, so that the storage chip 32 stores the disinfection information of the surgical instrument, thereby recording the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2. So that when the surgical robot connects or loads the surgical instrument 2 subsequently, it can directly read the disinfection information inside the surgical instrument 2 through the storage chip 32 of the information detection module 3, thereby judging the disinfection situation of the surgical instrument 2, and completing the automatic recording and recognition process of the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2, ensuring the safety of the surgery.

[0096] It should be noted that when the surgical instrument 2 is undergoing high-temperature disinfection inside the disinfection box 1, it includes high-temperature steam disinfection and high-temperature heating disinfection. When performing high-temperature steam disinfection, the surface of the lid 12 of the disinfection box 1 is set as a porous structure, as Figure 8 shown, so that the external heating steam can enter the inside of the disinfection box 1 to perform high-temperature steam disinfection on the surgical instrument 2.

[0097] In some embodiments, when the surgical instrument 2 needs to be pickled and disinfected, the information detection module 3 further includes a pH sensor 33. When the surgical instrument 2 is being disinfected, the pH sensor 33 collects pH value information to judge the acidity and alkalinity. The reading and writing module 4 reads the pH value information and records the pH value-time information in the pH value information, and writes the pH value information and the pH value-time information into the storage chip 32.

[0098] When it is necessary to perform pickling disinfection on the surgical instrument 2 inside the disinfection box 1, the pH value sensor 33 on the information detection module 3 installed on the installation end 21 is used to detect the pH value information during the disinfection process. The reading and writing module 4 reads the pH value information detected by the pH value sensor 33 of the information detection module 3, and writes the pH value information and the time information corresponding to the pH value information into the storage chip 32 of the information detection module 3, so as to obtain the parameter information during the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2. When the surgical instrument 2 is mounted or connected to the robotic arm of the surgical robot, the surgical robot directly reads the disinfection information in the storage chip 32 on the surgical instrument 2, so as to judge the acidity and alkalinity passed by the surgical instrument 2 during disinfection, and the time corresponding to different acidity and alkalinity, so as to accurately judge the disinfection situation of the surgical instrument 2, complete the automatic recording and recognition process of the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2, and ensure the safety of the operation.

[0099] In some embodiments, when it is necessary to perform ultraviolet irradiation disinfection on the surgical instrument 2, the information detection module 3 further includes an ultraviolet sensor 34. When the surgical instrument 2 is being disinfected, the ultraviolet sensor 34 collects ultraviolet intensity information, and the reading and writing module 4 reads the ultraviolet intensity information detected by the ultraviolet sensor 34 in the information detection module 3, and writes the ultraviolet intensity information and the ultraviolet intensity time information corresponding to the ultraviolet intensity information into the storage chip 32.

[0100] When the surgical instrument 2 is being disinfected by ultraviolet rays inside the disinfection box 1, the ultraviolet sensor 34 detects the ultraviolet intensity around the surgical instrument 2. The ultraviolet sensor 34 converts the ultraviolet intensity into an electrical signal to obtain the ultraviolet intensity information. When the ultraviolet sensor 34 detects the ultraviolet intensity information during the disinfection of the surgical instrument 2, the reading and writing module 4 reads the ultraviolet intensity information detected by the ultraviolet sensor 34, and writes the ultraviolet intensity information and the ultraviolet time information into the storage chip 32, so that when the robotic arm of the surgical robot mounts the surgical instrument 2, it is convenient for the surgical robot to detect the ultraviolet intensity experienced by the surgical instrument 2 during disinfection and the irradiation time corresponding to different ultraviolet intensities, so that the surgical robot can judge whether the ultraviolet intensity and irradiation time of the surgical instrument 2 during ultraviolet disinfection meet the requirements, so as to judge whether the surgical instrument 2 has completed the disinfection process.

[0101] It should be noted that in the above solution, when disinfecting the surgical instrument 2, one or more of high-temperature disinfection, pickling disinfection, and ultraviolet disinfection are used. During the disinfection process, through the information interaction between the information detection module 3 and the reading and writing module 4, the reading and writing module 4 reads the relevant parameters of the surgical instrument 2 during the disinfection process, and writes the relevant parameters and the time information corresponding to the relevant parameters into the information detection module 3 to obtain the parameter information of the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2, so as to facilitate the subsequent surgical robot to read the parameter information of the surgical instrument 2 to determine whether the disinfection situation of the surgical instrument 2 meets the requirements.

[0102] In some embodiments, the above reading and writing module 4 is an NFC reader, so as to perform wireless information interaction with the information detection module through the NFC protocol. The NFC reader reads the information detected by the information detection module 3, including one or more of temperature information, pH value information, and ultraviolet intensity information, and combines the time information corresponding to the different detected information and writes them into the storage chip 32 of the information detection module 3 together to complete the information interaction process, so that the parameter information in the disinfection process of the surgical instrument 2 is accurately stored in the surgical instrument 2, facilitating the subsequent surgical robot to accurately understand the disinfection situation of the surgical instrument 2 through automatic identification, avoiding the situation of forgetting caused by the traditional manual recording disinfection method, and ensuring the safety of the surgical instrument 2 during subsequent surgical procedures.

[0103] The present invention further discloses a disinfection detection method for surgical instruments, as Figure 9 shown, including the following steps:

[0104] S1. Collect relevant parameters related to the surgical instrument in the disinfection box, and the surgical instrument is received in the disinfection box;

[0105] S2. Read the relevant parameters and process the relevant parameters to generate parameter information, and the parameter information is used to judge the disinfection status of the surgical instrument through a wired or wireless connection to the control end of the surgical instrument.

[0106] In the above detection method, when the surgical instrument completes the disinfection process in the disinfection box and is taken out and mounted or connected to the robotic arm of the surgical robot, the processor of the surgical robot reads the disinfection information recorded in the information detection module on the surgical instrument and judges the disinfection information to determine whether the disinfection process of the currently mounted or connected surgical instrument meets the requirements, so as to judge whether the surgical instrument has completed disinfection, and thus the automatic recording and automatic identification of the disinfection process of the surgical instrument can be realized. Compared with the traditional method of manually recording the disinfection situation, the efficiency and accuracy of disinfection recording are greatly improved, and the safety of the surgical instrument during surgery is ensured.

[0107] In some other embodiments, the parameter information includes the relevant parameters and the time information corresponding to the relevant parameters. To further determine the accuracy of the relevant parameters during disinfection, the time information corresponding to different relevant parameters is recorded in the information detection module 3, so as to be able to judge the disinfection time of different relevant parameters during disinfection, facilitating an accurate grasp of whether the specific situation of disinfection meets the requirements.

[0108] In some embodiments, as Figure 10 shown, after the surgical instrument is connected to the operating end for operating it, the method further includes: S3. Obtaining the parameter information to judge whether the surgical instrument has completed disinfection. If the disinfection is not completed, a prompt message is issued, that is, when the surgical instrument is mounted or connected to the robotic arm of the surgical robot, the processor of the surgical robot reads the disinfection information of the surgical instrument and judges whether the disinfection of the current surgical instrument meets the requirements. If not, an alarm is issued to prompt that the current surgical instrument is not disinfected and cannot be used.

[0109] The ways of alarm prompt include but are not limited to one or more of light alarm, voice alarm and buzzer alarm. For example, text information such as "Needs disinfection" is displayed on the display screen of the image trolley 300, and / or alarm signals are emitted through the LED lights and buzzers set at any position of the surgical instrument and the surgical robot.

[0110] The present invention also provides a storage medium, on which a computer program is stored, and when the computer program is executed by a processor, the above method is implemented.

[0111] The present invention further provides a terminal, including a processor, a memory and a wired or wireless communication module;

[0113] The wired or wireless communication module is used for information interaction between the surgical instrument and the operating end for operating the surgical instrument, and judging the disinfection status of the surgical instrument.

[0114] After information interaction between the surgical instrument and the operating end, the above processor enables the terminal to execute the foregoing method, thereby completing the judgment process of disinfection detection of the surgical instrument.

[0115] Preferably, the memory includes: various media such as ROM, RAM, magnetic disk, USB flash drive, memory card or optical disc that can store program codes.

[0116] The processor is connected to the memory and is used to execute the computer program stored in the memory, so that the terminal executes the above method.
