[0016] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 The present invention is described in further detail.

[0017] Example: A minimally invasive lithotripsy device for facilitating the removal of stones during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a side panel 1 and a grip tube 2. The side panel 1 is provided with two pieces. One end of the grip tube 2 extends between the two side panels 1. A connecting rod 3 is fixedly installed between the outer side wall of the portion of the grip tube 2 extending into the two side panels 1 and the two side panels 1. The outer side wall of the portion of the grip tube 2 not extending between the two side panels 1 is engraved with anti-slip grooves 18. The setting of the anti-slip grooves 18 can prevent the grip tube 2 from slipping when the medical staff holds the grip tube 2.

[0018] A cylinder body 4 is installed in the grip tube 2, both ends of which pass through the grip tube 2. The cylinder body 4 can slide in the grip tube 2. A rack 5 is installed at one end of the cylinder body 4, and a handle 6 is installed at the other end; two clamping arms are installed between the two side panels 1, and the clamping arms include a fixed plate 7, a movable plate 8 and a clamping plate 9. A clamping pad 15 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the clamping plate 9. The clamping pad 15 is used to increase the friction between the device and the stone to avoid slipping when clamping the stone.

[0019] One end of the fixed plate 7 is arranged in an arc shape and is equipped with a rack 2 10 meshing with the rack 1 5. One end of the fixed plate 7 equipped with the rack 2 10 is hinged between the two side plates 1, that is, the fixed plate 7 can rotate around the hinge. The movable plate 8 and the fixed plate 7 and the clamping plate 9 and the movable plate 8 are elastically hinged. When no external force is applied, the elastic hinge makes the clamping arm naturally return to the state as shown. Figure 1 The status shown.

[0020] A cylinder 2 11 with one end extending out of the cylinder 1 4 is installed in the cylinder 1 4. The cylinder 2 11 can slide along the cylinder 1 4. A connecting rod 2 12 is installed between the end of the cylinder 2 11 extending out of the cylinder 1 4 and the end of the movable plate 8 close to the clamping plate 9. The two ends of the connecting rod 2 12 are respectively hinged to the movable plate 8 and the cylinder 2 11.

[0021] A second handle 13 is installed on the top of the other end of the cylinder body 11, and a slide groove 14 for the second handle 13 to pass through is opened on the side wall of the cylinder body 14. The second handle 13 can slide in the slide groove 14. A lithotripsy electrode 16 with both ends extending out of the cylinder body 11 is installed in the cylinder body 11, and a third handle 17 with one end extending out of the cylinder body 4 is installed in the cylinder body 14. The third handle 17 is connected to the lithotripsy motor.

[0022] Working principle: When using this device, first push handle 16 to move cylinder 14. Due to the engagement of rack 15 and rack 2 10, the fixed plate 7 is driven to rotate, so that the two clamping arms are opened. After clamping the stone, pull handle 2 13 to close the clamping arms. Then, turn handle 2 13 to pull connecting rod 2 12 backward. Connecting rod 2 12 drives the angle between the two clamping arms to become smaller. Due to the presence of clamping pad 15, the stone will not slip off and the stone will be stably clamped between the two clamping plates 9. Then, press handle 3 17 to make the lithotripsy motor crush the stone.

[0023] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to this embodiment as needed. However, as long as such modifications are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
