[0037] Working principle: When using this device, firstly, the patient's upper or lower limb is inserted into the gripping disc. Then, the second motor is activated, causing the second gear to rotate, which in turn causes the double-sided rack plate to rotate. This drives the multiple meshing cylindrical gears to rotate, causing the four second rack plates to move inward along the top of the mounting disc. This automatically adjusts the gripping force and position according to the patient's pelvic shape and fracture type, ensuring the accuracy of the gripping force and position. At the same time, the first motor is activated, causing the connecting rod to rotate, which in turn causes the two first gears to rotate. Under the meshing action of the first rack plates, the connecting block can move along the outer wall of the T-slot, thus adjusting the spatial posture of the reset robot.

[0038] In addition, by activating the third motor, the drive screw is rotated, causing the threaded sleeve to move up and down along the outer wall of the drive screw. This causes the connecting frame to move synchronously, allowing the repositioning robot to adjust its height according to the patient's body position and posture, providing a more comfortable treatment experience.

[0039] During operation, the remote control module allows surgeons or operators to connect to the robot via a network or dedicated software and perform real-time operations. This includes functions such as control handles and motion command transmission, enabling operators to control the robot's movement in real time.

[0040] Sensors and imaging modules are used to acquire real-time images or data of the patient's pelvic area and transmit them to a remote control station for doctors to refer to and make decisions. Through a real-time feedback and guidance module, the robot's operation can be displayed in real time at the remote control station, such as real-time images of the patient's pelvic area, operation position, force, and other data. This allows doctors to make decisions based on this data and remotely guide the robot's operation.

[0041] This invention provides a robot for reducing fractures of the upper and lower limbs and pelvis, along with a remote real-time control system. It offers the following advantages:

[0042] 1. This invention, through the coordinated use of structures such as a clamping disc, rubber pad, arc-shaped adjustment plate, first motor, electric telescopic rod, and T-slot, can automatically adjust according to the patient's pelvic shape and fracture type, ensuring the accuracy of clamping force and position, which helps to improve the precision of surgery, reduce surgical errors and damage, and can adjust the spatial posture of the reduction robot, effectively increasing the robot's workspace, and can be applied to the needs of different types of pelvic fracture reduction surgery.

[0043] 2. This invention, through the coordinated use of a third motor, mounting slot, drive screw, and threaded sleeve, allows for adjustments based on the patient's body position and posture, providing a more comfortable treatment experience.

Two first rack plates 210 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting rod 210. Wheel 208, connecting plate 12 is externally fixedly connected to connecting strip 9, connecting strip 9 is connected to support plate 201 through multiple electric telescopic rods 205, support plate 201 has groove 213 on outer surface, support plate 201 is externally fixedly connected to second motor 211, second gear 212 is fixedly connected to output end of second motor 211, double-sided rack plate 214 is rotatably connected inside support plate 201, four cylindrical gears 215 are rotatably connected to inner side of support plate 201, mounting plate 217 is internally fixedly connected to support plate 201, four second rack plates 216 are slidably connected to outer surface of mounting plate 217, rubber pad 202 is fixedly connected to one end of second rack plate 216, and adjustment mechanism is fixedly connected to inner side of mounting frame 4.

[0058] Specifically, the patient's upper or lower limb is first inserted into the clamping plate 201. Then, the second motor 211 is activated, causing the second gear 212 to rotate, which in turn causes the double-sided rack plate 214 to rotate. This drives the multiple meshing cylindrical gears 215 to rotate, causing the four second rack plates 216 to move inward along the top of the mounting plate 217. This allows for automatic adjustment based on the patient's pelvic shape and fracture type, ensuring the accuracy of clamping force and position. Simultaneously, the first motor 204 is activated, causing the connecting rod 210 to rotate, which in turn causes the two first gears 208 to rotate. At this time, under the meshing action of the first rack plate 207, the connecting block 209 can move along the outer wall of the T-slot 206. This allows for adjustment of the spatial posture of the reduction robot, effectively increasing the robot's workspace and making it suitable for different types of pelvic fracture reduction surgeries.

[0059] Please see the appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 4The adjustment mechanism includes two mounting slots 502, which are respectively opened inside the two mounting brackets 4.

A third motor 501 is fixedly connected to the top of one of the mounting brackets 4. The output end of the third motor 501 is fixedly connected to the top end of the drive screw 503.

[0060] Specifically, by activating the third motor 501, the drive screw 503 is rotated, causing the threaded sleeve 504 to move up and down along the outer wall of the drive screw 503. This drives the connecting frame 3 to move synchronously, allowing the repositioning robot to adjust its height according to the patient's body position and posture, providing a more comfortable treatment experience.

[0061] Please see the appendix Figure 4 The guide rod 7 is fixedly connected inside the mounting slot 502 on the right side. The movable block 8 is slidably connected to the outside of the guide rod 7. The movable block 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the threaded sleeve 504 and the outside of the connecting frame 3.

[0062] Specifically, when the connecting frame 3 moves, it will drive the moving block 8 to move along the outside of the guide rod 7, thereby greatly improving the stability of the connecting frame 3 during the movement process.

[0063] Please see the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 4 Electric guide rails 10 are installed on the top left and right sides of the mounting base plate 1. Electric sliders 11 are installed on the outside of the electric guide rails 10.

[0064] Specifically, the electric guide rail 10 and the electric slider 11 are existing technology products that complement each other, enabling the electric slider 11 to move along the outside of the electric guide rail 10, thus ensuring the convenience of using the reset robot.

[0065] Please see the appendix Figure 1 A control panel 6 is installed on the top of the mounting base plate 1. The control panel 6 is electrically connected to the third motor 501, the first motor 204, the electric telescopic rod 205, and the second motor 211.

[0066] Specifically, the control panel 6 can flexibly control the start and stop status of the third motor 501, the first motor 204, the electric telescopic rod 205, and the second motor 21, greatly improving the ease of use of the device.

[0067] Please see the appendix Figure 2 - Appendix Figure 4The outer side of the first gear 208 meshes with the outer side of the first rack plate 207, the outer side of the second gear 212 meshes with the outer side of the double-sided rack plate 214, the outer side of the cylindrical gear 215 meshes with the inner side of the double-sided rack plate 214, and the outer side of the cylindrical gear 215 meshes with the outer side of the second rack plate 216.

[0068] Specifically, the rotation of the first gear 208 can cause the connecting plate 12 to move synchronously along the first rack plate 207, thus adjusting the spatial posture of the reduction robot and effectively improving the robot's workspace. This makes it suitable for different types of pelvic fracture reduction surgeries. At the same time, the rotation of the second gear 212 can cause the double-sided rack plate 214 to rotate, which in turn drives the multiple meshing cylindrical gears 215 to rotate, causing the four second rack plates 216 to move inward along the top of the mounting plate 217. This allows for automatic adjustment based on the patient's pelvic shape and fracture type, ensuring the accuracy of clamping force and position.
