Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to an integrated multifunctional surgical robot. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the instruments used with surgical robots (bipolar forceps-assisted laparoscopic surgery systems) in clinical practice are all single-arm, single-function devices. Bipolar electrocoagulation, also known as bipolar radiofrequency electrocoagulation, uses high-frequency current to act on blood vessels or tissues to achieve precise hemostasis during surgery. It is a relatively common hemostasis method in modern surgery. However, its use has the following technical drawbacks: it requires frequent instrument changes, which not only wastes surgical time but also makes it impossible to change instruments in emergencies such as massive bleeding, rendering the surgery impossible. The limitations of single-function instruments are becoming increasingly prominent in clinical practice.

[0003] Therefore, how to design a multifunctional surgical robot that can avoid interrupting surgery in the event of massive bleeding, and improve surgical efficiency and safety, has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides an integrated multifunctional instrument for surgical robots to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is: an integrated multifunctional instrument for a surgical robot, including a bipolar forceps, wherein the bipolar forceps includes two waist-shaped rings, one end of any one waist-shaped ring is connected to the robotic arm of the surgical robot through a connecting end, the two connecting ends are connected by a pin, and the two waist-shaped rings are a fixed end and a movable end, respectively.

[0006] A gap is provided at the end of any waist-shaped ring away from the connecting end, allowing the suture thread to pass through;

[0007] Electrode layers are provided on the adjacent end faces of the fixed end and the movable end. The fixed end is fixedly connected to the pin, and the movable end can move along the axial direction of the pin.

[0008] Parallel suction tubes are arranged on the end face of the movable end away from the fixed end, and all suction tubes are connected to the negative pressure device.

[0009] This invention employs an electrode layer placed between two waist-shaped rings to achieve bipolar electrocoagulation. When bleeding occurs, the suture can be pulled out from the gap after clamping with bipolar clamps, improving surgical safety. A negative pressure device is used to extract surgical waste blood through a suction tube, solving the technical defect that prevents the replacement of instruments and thus the operation from being interrupted in emergency situations such as massive bleeding. This invention avoids interruptions to surgery and open surgery, shortening the operation time and improving surgical efficiency and safety.

[0010] Preferably, one end of each of the two electrode layers is connected to an electrocoagulator, and current flows between the two electrode layers.

[0011] This invention uses an electrocoagulator to release current, forming a closed loop between two electrode layers. The heat energy generated by the high-frequency current acts on blood vessels or tissues, causing the blood vessels or tissues located between the two electrode layers to dehydrate, denature, and coagulate. The current only flows between the two electrode layers and will not cause damage to other parts. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] See Figure 1-4 The structures, proportions, and sizes illustrated in the accompanying drawings are merely for illustrative purposes and to aid those skilled in the art in understanding and reading the invention. They are not intended to limit the scope of the invention and therefore have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, without affecting the effectiveness and purpose of the invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this invention. Furthermore, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity and not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0019] Example 1: An integrated multifunctional instrument for a surgical robot, referenced Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The system includes a bipolar clamp 1, which includes two waist-shaped rings 101. One end of any one waist-shaped ring 101 is connected to the robotic arm of the surgical robot through a connecting end 102. The two connecting ends 102 are connected by a pin. The two waist-shaped rings 101 are a fixed end and a movable end, respectively.

[0020] A gap 103 is provided on one end of any waist-shaped ring 101 away from the connecting end 102, and the gap 103 allows the suture thread to pass through;

[0021] Electrode layers 104 are provided on the adjacent end faces of the fixed end and the movable end. The fixed end is fixedly connected to the pin, and the movable end can move along the axial direction of the pin.

[0022] Two suction tubes 2 are provided on the end face of the movable end away from the fixed end, and both suction tubes 2 are connected to the negative pressure device. This invention utilizes an electrode layer placed between two waist-shaped rings to achieve bipolar electrocoagulation; when bleeding occurs, after clamping with bipolar clamps, the suture can be pulled out from the gap during suturing, improving surgical safety; the use of a negative pressure device to extract surgical waste blood through the suction tubes solves the technical defect of being unable to change instruments in emergencies such as massive bleeding, thus preventing the surgery from being performed; it avoids interrupting surgery, open surgery, etc., shortening surgical time and improving surgical efficiency and safety.

[0023] Example 2: Based on Example 1, one end of each of the two electrode layers 104 is connected to an electrocoagulator, and current flows between the two electrode layers 104. This invention uses an electrocoagulator to release current, forming a closed loop between the two electrode layers. The heat energy generated by the high-frequency current acts on the blood vessels or tissues, causing the blood vessels or tissues located between the two electrode layers to dehydrate, denature, and coagulate. The current only flows between the two electrode layers and will not cause damage to other parts of the body.

[0024] Example 3: Based on Example 2, with reference to... Figure 2 Each of the suction tubes 2 is arranged along the length of the waist-shaped ring 101, and two suction tubes 2 are arranged in parallel. Several quick connectors 3 are arranged axially along the side of the suction tube 2 away from the waist-shaped ring 101, and silicone tubing is inserted into the quick connectors 3. This invention uses several quick connectors arranged axially along the suction tube, with silicone tubing inserted into the quick connectors. A negative pressure device is used to extract surgical waste blood through the suction tube and silicone tubing, solving the technical defect that prevents the replacement of instruments and thus the surgery from proceeding in emergency situations such as massive bleeding.

[0025] Example 4: Based on Example 2, the connecting end 102 is arranged at an angle to the axis of the waist-shaped ring 101 along its length direction, and this angle is acute. This invention uses an angled arrangement between the connecting end and the axis of the waist-shaped ring along its length direction. The tilting of the connecting end can affect the depth and range of treatment, adapting to the treatment needs of different sites and achieving better treatment results.

[0026] Example 5: Based on Example 2, the end of the suction tube 2 near the gap 103 is a closed end, and the end of the suction tube 2 near the connection end 102 is connected to the negative pressure device.

[0027] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
