Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and specifically to a surgical robot system installed in a suspended manner. [Background Art]

[0002] Currently, the existing laparoscopic surgical robot systems in the world are basically designed to be placed at a certain position around the operating table. Therefore, they require a large amount of operating room space. At the same time, the activity space of the bedside operators is also affected to a certain extent, which is not conducive to the timely operation and intervention of doctors or other operators during the operation, reducing the surgical efficiency.

[0003] The patent application "A Modular Surgical Robot System" with the patent publication number CN114848141A proposes a new type of surgical robot system. Compared with the existing laparoscopic surgical robots, although it can greatly reduce the volume and weight of the machine itself, enabling doctors to store and use it more flexibly, and occupying very little bedside operation space, improving the surgical efficiency. However, when this surgical robot system is fixed on both sides of the operating table, the surface of the operating table needs to be kept flat, and the headrest and footrest of the operating table cannot be bent and folded to other angles. This brings difficulties for surgeries in certain special positions where the patient needs to be operated in a non-flat state, that is, when the headrest or footrest needs to be adjusted to a certain angle during the operation, thus restricting the full play of the functions of the operating table. [Summary of the Invention]

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies and provide a suspended surgical robot system, which can avoid occupying the space beside the operating table to the greatest extent, has no restrictions on the use of various postures of the operating table, greatly improves the flexibility and convenience of using the surgical robot system, and expands the scope of surgeries applicable to the surgical robot system.

[0005] To achieve the above object, a suspended surgical robot system is designed, including a top plate 1, which is fixed on the ceiling of the operating room. A guide rail 13 extending along the length direction is fixed on the top plate 1. A Y-axis moving substrate 5 is slidably connected to the guide rail 13 through a slider 16. The Y-axis moving substrate 5 makes a linear motion in the Y direction along the guide rail 13. A linear motor stator 14 is also fixed on the top plate 1. The linear motor stator 14 extends along the length direction and is parallel to the guide rail 13. A linear motor mover 18 is fixed on the Y-axis moving substrate 5 through an adapter 7. The linear motor mover 18 drives the Y-axis moving substrate 5 to move along the linear motor stator 14. A guide rail 21 extending along the X-axis direction is fixed on the Y-axis moving substrate 5. An X-axis moving substrate 13 is slidably connected to the guide rail 21 through a slider 22. The X-axis moving substrate 13 makes a linear motion in the X direction along the guide rail 21. A linear motor stator 20 is also fixed on the Y-axis moving substrate 5. The linear motor stator 20 extends along the X-axis direction and is parallel to the guide rail 21. A linear motor mover 24 is fixed on the X-axis moving substrate 13. The linear motor mover 24 is located below the linear motor stator 20. The linear motor mover 24 drives the X-axis moving substrate 13 to move along the linear motor stator 20. An electric lifting column 17 is installed below the X-axis moving substrate 13. The electric lifting column 17 makes a linear motion along the vertical Z-axis direction. A surgical instrument 22 is installed at the end of the electric lifting column 17.

[0006] Further, a steel plate 12 is fixed on the top plate 1. The steel plate 12 extends along the length direction. An electromagnet 19 is fixed on the Y-axis moving substrate 5. The electromagnet 19 moves below the steel plate 12 and attracts the steel plate 12 to stop the Y-axis movement when it reaches the required position and needs to maintain the position.

[0007] Further, the linear motor stator 14 is arranged in the middle of the top plate 1. The guide rail 13 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the linear motor stator 14. The steel plate 12 is symmetrically arranged on the other side of the guide rail 13. This structural design can make the Y-axis moving substrate 5 move more smoothly in the Y direction along the guide rail 13, and the structure is more stable and reliable.

[0008] Further, a steel plate 26 is fixed on the Y-axis moving substrate 5. An electromagnet 25 is fixed on the X-axis moving substrate 13. The electromagnet 25 moves below the steel plate 26 and attracts the steel plate 26 to stop the X-axis movement when it reaches the required position and needs to maintain the position.

[0009] Furthermore, the linear motor stator II 10 is arranged in the middle of the Y-axis moving substrate 5. The guide rail II 11 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the linear motor stator II 10, and the steel plate II 16 is symmetrically arranged on the other side of the guide rail II 11. This structural design enables the X-axis moving substrate 13 to move more smoothly along the guide rail II 11 in the X-direction, and the structure is more stable and reliable.

[0010] Furthermore, a rotary hub 18 is installed at the lifting end of the electric lifting column 17, which drives the rotary hub 18 to rise or fall. The rotary hub 18 rotates around its own axis Z-axis. A robotic arm 21 is fixed on the rotary hub 18 through a mounting interface 20, and a surgical instrument 22 is installed at the end of the robotic arm 21.

[0011] Furthermore, a handle 19 is installed on the rotary hub 18. The handle 19 is a ring-shaped handle, and the handle 19 is used for the surgical operator to drag the robotic arm 21 to move or rotate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, in view of the defects and deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention proposes a suspended surgical robot system. This surgical robot system can be installed on the ceiling of the operating room, retracted to the corner of the operating room when not in use, and can quickly move above the operating table when in use. Moreover, it can conveniently manually adjust the position and posture of the robotic arm and the surgical instrument, thus eliminating the requirements and restrictions of the surgical robot system on the posture of the operating table, greatly improving the flexibility and convenience of using the surgical robot system, and expanding the scope of surgeries applicable to the surgical robot system. In summary, the present invention maximally avoids occupying the space beside the operating table, and there are no restrictions on the use of various posture adjustment functions of the operating table, so it can be applicable to more types of surgeries, improves the surgical efficiency, greatly increases the flexibility of hospitals in using surgical robot equipment, and is worthy of popularization and application.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0023] In the surgical robot system of the present invention, the top plate 1 is fixed on the ceiling of the operating room. The first guide rail 3 is fixed on the top plate along the length direction of the top plate 1. The Y-axis moving substrate 5 is fixed together with the first slider 6 and moves linearly along the first guide rail 3; the linear motor stator 1 is fixed on the top plate 1 and is parallel to the first guide rail 2. The linear motor mover 1 is fixed on the Y-axis moving substrate 5 through the adapter 7 and drives it to move along the linear motor stator 1; the first steel plate 2 is a strongly magnetic steel plate fixed on the top plate 1. The electromagnet 9 is fixed on the Y-axis moving substrate 5 and moves below the first steel plate 2. When it reaches the required position and needs to maintain the position, the electromagnet 9 is attracted to the first steel plate 2, so that the Y-axis movement stops.

[0024] The X-axis moving substrate 13 is connected to the second guide rail 11 through the second slider 12 and moves linearly along the guide rail. The linear motor stator 2 is fixed on the Y-axis moving substrate 5 and is parallel to the second guide rail 11.
