[0002] With the increasing popularity of natural orifice surgery, the requirements for medical devices related to these surgeries are also becoming more stringent. Natural orifice surgery robotic systems utilize naturally occurring passages in the human body that connect to the outside, such as the stomach, vagina, urethra, colon, rectum, and esophagus. Surgical instruments are inserted, and endoscopes are manually guided into the body. This approach not only avoids damage to the inner walls of natural orifices caused by endoscopes entering the body but also improves surgical quality through the precision and stability of the mechanical system.

[0090] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0091] like Figure 1-3As shown, the side-by-side progressive structure natural cavity surgical robot includes a base 1, a flexible torso 2, a power unit 3, winch assemblies 4, lead screw drives 5, and a torso support frame 6. The four winch assemblies 4 correspond to the four power inputs in the external power box. The lead screw drives 5 correspond to two power inputs in the external power box; when the lead screw drives 5 are working, they control the forward movement of the endoscope. The power unit 3 controls the spatial position of the endoscope.
[0092] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, the power unit 3 is mainly composed of 4 sets of winch assemblies 4.
[0093] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the power unit 3 includes an upper plate 3-1, a lower plate 3-2, four fixed columns 3-3 fixedly connected to the base 1, the lower plate 3-2 fixedly connected to the middle of the four fixed columns 3-3, and the upper plate 3-1 fixedly connected to the top of the four fixed columns 3-3. A guide frame 402 is fixedly mounted on the lower plate 3-2. The upper end of the rotating column 404 is rotatably connected to the upper plate 3-1, and the lower end of the rotating column 404 is rotatably connected to the lower plate 3-2. The rotating column 404 is capable of rotation.
[0094] The guide frame 402 has four guide holes, through which the first steel wire a1, the second steel wire a2, the third steel wire a3, and the fourth steel wire a4 pass. Then, the first steel wire a1, the second steel wire a2, the third steel wire a3, and the fourth steel wire a4 pass around the four rotating columns 404 and are wound around the four winch assemblies 4.
[0095] The steel wire changes direction after passing through the rotating column 404, making it easier to wind onto the winch assembly 4.
[0096] like Figure 8As shown, the winch assembly 4 mainly consists of a winch 405, a bearing 409, a coupling 410, a driven shaft 412, an input shaft 413, a spring 414, and an O-ring 415. The winch 405 has a wire groove 407 in its middle section, and a wire end mounting groove 406 on its end face. The driven shaft 412 has a plug-in part 412-1, a bearing mounting part 412-2, a sleeve part 412-3, and a circular boss 412-4. The input shaft 413 has a plug-in part 413-1, a disc part 413-2, and a sleeve part 413-3. The winch 405 is connected to the driven shaft 412 by a coupling. Specifically, the insertion part 412-1 of the driven shaft 412 is inserted into the lower end of the coupling 410 (the D-groove at the lower end of the coupling 410 mates with the insertion part 412-1 of the driven shaft 412), the lower end of the winch 405 is inserted into the upper end of the coupling 410, and the screws 411 on the coupling 410 are tightened to secure it, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the lower end of the winch 405 and the upper end (i.e., the insertion part 412-1) of the driven shaft 412. The upper part of spring 414 is fitted onto the sleeve portion 412-3 of the driven shaft 412, and the lower part of spring 414 is fitted onto the insertion portion 413-1 of the input shaft 413. The insertion portion 413-1 of the input shaft 413 is inserted into the sleeve portion 412-3 of the driven shaft 412 for fixed connection (the D-groove in the sleeve portion 412-3 mates with the insertion portion 413-1). The upper end of spring 414 abuts against the circular boss 412-4 of the driven shaft 412, and the lower end of spring 414 abuts against the disc portion 413-2 of the input shaft 413. A bearing 409 is connected to the upper part of the winch 405, and a bearing 409 is connected to the bearing mounting portion 412-2 of the driven shaft 412. An O-ring 415 is fitted into the annular groove of the disc portion 413-2 of the input shaft 413. The winch 405 is connected to the assembly consisting of the driven shaft 412 and the input shaft 413 via a coupling, which prevents the winch 405 from moving up and down. The D-slot fit structure can limit the relative rotation of the shafts.
[0097] One of the bearings 409 has its outer ring connected to the upper plate 3-1, and the other bearing 409 has its outer ring connected to the lower plate 3-2. That is to say, the upper part of the winch 405 is rotatably connected to the upper plate 3-1 through the bearing 409, and the passive shaft 412 is rotatably connected to the lower plate 3-2 through the bearing 409.
[0098] There are a total of four winch assemblies 4, and one winch assembly 4 corresponds to one rotary column 404, for a total of four rotary columns 404. For example... Figure 55As shown, four cylindrical shells 3-4 are fixedly installed between the base 1 and the lower plate 3-2. The four cylindrical shells 3-4 are located below the lower plate 3-2. The sleeve portion 413-3 of the input shaft 413 extends downward from the base 1. The sleeve portion 413-3 and the disc portion 413-2 of the input shaft 413 are located in the cylindrical shells 3-4. The sleeve portion 412-3 and the circular boss 412-4 of the passive rotating shaft 412 are located in the cylindrical shells 3-4. The spring 414 is located in the cylindrical shells 3-4. An O-ring 415 is pressed between the disc portion 413-2 and the inner wall of the cylindrical shells 3-4. The O-ring 415 can increase the rotational resistance and prevent the winch assembly 4 from rotating during the transportation or handling of the robot, which would cause the steel wire to loosen.
[0099] When using a parallel progressive structure natural cavity surgical robot, the power unit 3 is connected and coordinated with an external power box. The power box is equipped with four drive motors, each with a splined shaft. This splined shaft is inserted into the sleeve 413-3, which connects to the spline groove of the sleeve 413-3 of the input shaft 413. When the drive motor is started, the winch 405 rotates, causing the wire to be wound up or unwound. When the splined shaft of the drive motor in the power box is inserted into the sleeve 413-3, the input shaft 413 rises slightly, the disc 413-2 disengages from the O-ring 415, the resistance of the O-ring 415 disappears, and when the input shaft 413 rotates, there is a gap between the disc 413-2 and the inner wall of the cylindrical shell 3-4.
[0100] refer to Figure 9 and 10 The first steel wire a1 is wound around the wire groove 407 of the winch 405, and a wire knot 408 is crimped and fixed at the rear end of the first steel wire a1. The wire knot 408 is fixed in the wire head mounting groove 406 of the winch 405.
[0101] refer to Figure 7 The four winch assemblies 4 are arranged in a rectangular layout, while the four rotating columns 404 are arranged in a V-shape, with the V-shaped opening near the guide frame 402 and the V-shaped tip near the winch. The four rotating columns 404 are located between the four winch assemblies 4, which avoids crossing during wire winding. Combined with the four guide holes of the guide frame 402, this arrangement further prevents the steel wire from crossing during movement.

The front bearing seat 508 and the rear bearing seat 509 are respectively fixedly mounted. Mounted on base 1, the first guide rail 502-1 and the second guide rail 502-2 are fixedly mounted on base 1, arranged side by side. The front end of the first lead screw 501-1 is connected to the bearing in the front bearing housing 508, and the rear end of the first lead screw 501-1 is connected to the bearing in the rear bearing housing 509. The front end of the second lead screw 501-2 is connected to the bearing in the front bearing housing 508. The rear end is connected to the bearing in the rear bearing housing 509; the first lead screw 501-1 can rotate under the support of the front bearing housing 508 and the rear bearing housing 509, and the second lead screw 501-2 can rotate under the support of the front bearing housing 508 and the rear bearing housing 509; the first fixed block base 503-1 is provided with a first internal thread hole, and the second fixed block base 503-2 is provided with a second internal thread hole. The first fixed block base 503-1 is fitted on the first lead screw 501-1, and the second fixed block base 503-2 is fitted on the second lead screw 501-2. The first internal thread hole of the first fixed block base 503-1 is connected and engaged with the external thread of the first lead screw 501-1, and the second internal thread hole of the second fixed block base 503-2 is connected and engaged with the external thread of the second lead screw 501-2. When the first lead screw 501-1 rotates, the first fixed block base 503-1 can be translated, and when the second lead screw 501-2 rotates, the second fixed block base 503-2 can be translated. Fixed block base 1 503-1 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 502-1, and fixed block base 2 503-2 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 502-2. Drive shaft 1 is connected to the rear end of the first lead screw 501-1, and drive shaft 2 is connected to the rear end of the second lead screw 501-2. Driven gear 2 504 is fixedly connected to drive shaft 2, and driven gear 1 is fixedly connected to drive shaft 1. Both ends of drive shaft 1 are rotatably connected to the transmission mechanism connecting seat 506 via two bearings 507 (bearing 507 is shown at the top in the figure, with the two bearings 507 arranged vertically). Both ends of drive shaft 2 are rotatably connected to the transmission mechanism connecting seat 506 via two bearings 510 (bearing 510 is shown at the top in the figure, with the two bearings 510 arranged vertically). Drive gear 2 505 is fixedly connected to drive shaft 2, and drive gear 1 is fixedly connected to drive shaft 1. Drive gear 1 meshes with driven gear 1, and drive gear 2 505 meshes with driven gear 2 504.The clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the driving gear 505, mounted on the transmission mechanism connecting seat 506, drives the driven gear 504 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. The driven gear 504 and the first lead screw 501-1 move synchronously after being rigidly connected. The rotation of the first lead screw 501-1 drives the fixed block base 503-1 forward or backward under the guidance of the first guide rail 502-1. Similarly, the rotation of the second lead screw 501-2 drives the fixed block base 503-2 forward or backward along the second guide rail 502-2. When the robot is in use, the external power box is connected to the lead screw transmission device 5. The shafts of the two geared motors in the external power box pass through the base 1, and the shafts of the two geared motors are respectively connected to drive shaft one and drive shaft two. Starting the two geared motors drives drive shaft one and drive shaft two to rotate.
[0110] refer to Figure 36 The upper part of the second fixing block base 503-2 has two connecting holes, and the upper part of the first fixing block base 503-1 has two connecting holes 503-1-1. Two screws are passed through the two connecting holes on the upper part of the second fixing block base 503-2 and connected to the two connecting holes 511-1-1 of the connecting plate 511-1 in the cup-shaped chain link push block 511, thereby fixing the connecting plate 511-1 of the cup-shaped chain link push block 511 to the upper part of the second fixing block base 503-2, thus realizing the fixed connection between the cup-shaped chain link push block 511 and the second fixing block base 503-2. Similarly, by passing two screws through the two connecting holes 503-1-1 on the upper part of the fixed block base 503-1, and connecting them to the two connecting holes 512-1-1 on the connecting plate 512-1 in the intermediate link push block 512, the connecting plate 512-1 of the intermediate link push block 512 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the fixed block base 503-1, thus realizing the fixed connection between the intermediate link push block 512 and the fixed block base 503-1.
[0111] The push plate 511-2 is located above the push plate 512-2, and the push cylinder 512-3 is located in the push cylinder receiving notch 511-2-2 in the middle of the push plate 511-2.
[0112] like Figure 51 , 52 As shown, the endoscope mounting tube 207 has a window 207-1 on its side, and a pin connector 207-2 is connected to the inner wall of the endoscope mounting tube 207 near the window 207-1. The endoscope mounting tube 207 has a spherical groove 207-3 and three wire holes 207-4 evenly distributed in the circumferential direction at its rear end.
[0113] like Figures 50-54The endoscope 205 is detachably installed in the endoscope mounting tube 207. Specifically, the endoscope hinge plate 208 is hinged to the pin connector 207-2 of the endoscope mounting tube 207 via a pin 209. The endoscope hinge plate 208 is located at the window 207-1 of the endoscope mounting tube 207. The front plate 211 is fixedly connected to the endoscope hinge plate 208, and the rear plate 210 is fixedly connected to the endoscope hinge plate 208. When installing the endoscope 205, first open the endoscope hinge plate 208 outward (e.g., Figure 54 (As shown in the diagram), then insert the endoscope 205 into the inner cavity of the endoscope mounting tube 207, and then push the endoscope 205 inward. The end face of the rear end of the endoscope 205 abuts against the tail pressure plate 210, and the tail pressure plate 210 is forced to close the endoscope hinge pressure plate 20 (as shown in the diagram). Figure 50 As shown in the diagram, the front pressure plate 211 is precisely inserted into the slot 205-1 on the side of the endoscope 205, thus fixing the endoscope 205 in the inner cavity of the endoscope mounting tube 207.
[0114] like Figure 56 As shown, the foremost cup-shaped link 212 of the flexible torso is embedded in the spherical groove 207-3 at the rear end of the endoscope mounting tube 207. The first steel wire a1 passes through the wire hole 212-2 of the cup-shaped link and then through the wire hole 207-4. A metal wire knot 515 is crimped and fixed at the front end of the first steel wire a1. The metal wire knot 515 is located at the wire hole 207-4, thereby positioning the front end of the first steel wire a1. Similarly, the second steel wire and the third steel wire pass through two wire holes 212-2 of the cup-shaped link and then through the other two wire holes 207-4. Metal wire knots are also crimped at the front ends of the second steel wire and the third steel wire. The metal wire knots are located at the corresponding wire holes 207-4 to position the front ends of the second steel wire and the third steel wire.
[0115] When using the natural cavity surgical robot of this invention, the power unit 3 is connected and coordinated with an external power box. The winch assembly 4 rotates to release or reel in the first, second, and third steel wires. The release or reeling actions of the first, second, and third steel wires coordinate to achieve omnidirectional bending of the flexible torso 2 (for example, reeling in the second steel wire while releasing the first and third steel wires causes the flexible torso to bend towards the second steel wire). Therefore, the spatial position adjustment of the endoscope 205 can be achieved using only three steel wires. When the flexible torso bends to the desired state under the control of the three steel wires, the intermediate link push block 512 moves forward, while simultaneously releasing the fourth steel wire, thus fixing the completed paths of several bowl-shaped links 212, ultimately making the flexible torso taut, stable, and prevents it from collapsing.
[0116] The torso support frame 6 is fixedly installed at the front end of the base, and the middle part of the flexible torso passes through the circular through hole of the torso support frame 6, which provides support for the flexible torso.
[0117] When the endoscope 205 needs to move forward, the drive block 511 moves forward. The push plate 511-2 of the drive block 511 pushes the rearmost bowl-shaped link 212 in the flexible body forward. The rearmost bowl-shaped link 212 then pushes the adjacent bowl-shaped link forward, and so on. The rear bowl-shaped links push the front bowl-shaped links to transmit force, thus the frontmost bowl-shaped link 212 in the flexible body pushes the endoscope mounting cylinder 207 forward. At the same time, the first, second, and third steel wires are released, ultimately causing the entire flexible body to move forward, enabling the endoscope 205 in the endoscope mounting cylinder 207 to move forward and reach the designated location. Positioning is determined, and at this time, the drive link block 512 moves forward (while simultaneously releasing the fourth steel wire). The push plate 512-2 of the drive link block 512 pushes forward the rearmost cylindrical link 213 with a spherical end in the flexible body. The rearmost cylindrical link 213 with a spherical end pushes forward the adjacent cylindrical link with a spherical end, and so on. The rear cylindrical links with spherical ends push the front cylindrical links with spherical ends to transmit force, so that the frontmost cylindrical link with a spherical end in the flexible body presses against the frontmost bowl-shaped link. At this time, the flexible body is stabilized, taut, and does not sag. Next, when it is necessary to move the flexible torso backward as a whole, the cup-shaped link pusher block 511 and the intermediate link pusher block 512 are driven to move backward simultaneously, while the first, second, third, and fourth steel wires are retracted. This achieves the backward movement of the flexible torso carrying the endoscope. It should be noted that another way to move the flexible torso backward as a whole is to first drive the intermediate link pusher block 512 backward while retracting the fourth steel wire, and then drive the cup-shaped link pusher block 511 backward while retracting the first, second, and third steel wires.
[0118] refer to Figure 27 The angle α of the side notch 212-3 of the bowl-shaped link 212 can usually be in the range of 20° < α < 50°, with the optimal angle value of α being 30°. At 30°, the cylindrical link 213 with the spherical end has the best guiding effect, and the cylindrical link 213 with the spherical end moves smoothly.
[0119] Three instrument channels 206 are installed at the front end of the endoscope mounting tube 207. During the operation, surgical instruments can be passed through the instrument channels 206, which support the surgical instruments.
[0120] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the cylindrical link 213 with the spherical end moves more smoothly in the bowl-shaped link 212 and does not get stuck, such as Figure 24 ,25 As shown in Figures 27 and 29, two rear ramps 212-3-1 are provided on the rear side of the side notch 212-3 of the bowl-shaped link, and two front ramps 212-3-2 are provided on the front side of the side notch 212-3. When the cylindrical link 213 with a spherical end moves forward in the channel formed by several side notches 212-3, the positioning protrusion 213-2 may occasionally not be aligned with the side notch 212-3 (causing a deviation in the radial direction). At this time, the positioning protrusion 213-2 can slide into the side notch 212-3 along the rear ramp 212-3-1, that is, the positioning protrusion 213-2 slides into the channel. Similarly, when the cylindrical link 213 with a spherical end moves backward in the channel formed by several side notches 212-3, the positioning protrusion 213-2 may occasionally not be aligned with the side notches 212-3 (causing a deviation in the radial direction). In this case, the positioning protrusion 213-2 can slide into the side notches 212-3 along the front slope 212-3-2, that is, the positioning protrusion 213-2 slides into the channel. It can be seen that setting the slope improves the reliability of the product.
[0121] An endoscope and flexible torso reach the lesion through the body's natural cavities. During the procedure, the image signals acquired by the endoscope 205 are transmitted to a computer wirelessly. The endoscope 205 is a capsule endoscope in the current technology, and it has its own wireless transmission module.
[0122] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above illustratively. This description is not restrictive, and the figures shown are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, adopt other forms of part configurations, driving devices, and connection methods to create structures and embodiments similar to this technical solution without creative design, all such structures and embodiments should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
