Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of beam guide winding technology, and more particularly to a winding method and an automatic winding device. Background Technology

[0002] The hospital's Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) is responsible for cleaning, disinfecting, sterilizing, and supplying sterile items to all reusable medical and nursing instruments, equipment, and supplies across all departments. The quality of CSSD work directly reflects the overall quality of sterile supplies in the hospital, impacting medical safety and making it a crucial department for preventing and controlling hospital-acquired infections. With the development of minimally invasive surgery, endoscopic techniques have made significant progress in my country in recent years. Compared to conventional open surgery, endoscopic procedures spare patients the pain of incision, offer higher safety, are simpler to perform, and do not cause serious damage to the patient's internal environment. Laparoscopic instruments, as one of the commonly used endoscopic instruments, are also widely used in clinical practice.

[0003] Laparoscopic surgical instruments must include an imaging system beamguide and other essential electrosurgical cables. In current technology, these beamguides and cables need to be individually wound during packaging and sterilization. The typical winding method is as follows: the user holds one end of the beamguide with one hand and uses the other hand to wind the beam around clockwise (e.g., ...). Figure 1 , 2 As shown in the image, this method is convenient, but after untying, the beam guide will become knotted and twisted, making it inconvenient to use. Over time, cracks will appear at the knotted points, causing damage to the beam guide.

[0042] To facilitate understanding of the invention, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings. However, the invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of the invention.

[0043] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0044] Please see Figure 1-4 This application provides a winding method suitable for winding beam guides, which can effectively prevent knots from forming after the beam guide is unwound (e.g., ...). Figure 2 (As shown in the image), the specific method is as follows:

[0045] First, hold one end of the beam guide with one hand, using that end as the center. With the other hand, grasp the outer surface of the beam guide and rotate it clockwise once to the left of the center beam guide. Then rotate it clockwise once to the right of the center beam guide. Repeat this alternating motion, keeping the beam guide rotated clockwise until the beam guide is fully wound. To open, simply pull both ends of the beam guide.

[0046] The above-described winding method is simple to operate, efficient, and less prone to errors. It also avoids knotting and twisting of the light guide beam when opening, preventing damage to the internal light guide fiber during knotting and twisting, thus affecting its service life.

[0047] In accordance with the above-described winding method, this application also provides an automatic winding device, which can automatically wind the guide beam according to the above-described winding method, and its specific structure is as follows:

[0048] Example 1:

[0049] An automatic wire winder includes: a wire winder housing 10, which serves as a carrier for the device and provides a working space for the device; and the wire winder housing 10 has an inlet 11 for guiding a light beam to enter, through which the light beam enters the interior of the wire winder housing 10.

[0050] The mounting shaft 12 is located inside the winding housing 10 near the inlet 11 and is fixedly connected to the winding housing 10.

[0051] The guide part 30 is disposed outside the mounting shaft 12 and includes a slider 32 and a servo motor 37. The slider 32 is used to guide the beam guide to move laterally left and right, and the servo motor 37 is configured as a mechanism to drive the slider 32 to move axially on the mounting shaft 12.

[0052] The winding part 40 is disposed inside the winding housing 10 and includes a winding wheel 41. The winding wheel 41 is rotatably disposed inside the winding housing 10 and winds the guide beam guided by the slider 32 in a "left-right" manner on the winding wheel 41.

[0053] A drive motor 60 is mounted on the winding housing 10 and configured as a mechanism for driving the winding wheel 41 to rotate;

[0054] The detector 50 is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 60 and connected to the winding housing 10, and is used to detect the rotation of the output shaft of the drive motor 60.

[0055] The control module 20 is located inside the winding housing 10 and is electrically connected to the detector 50 and the servo motor 37. When the output shaft of the drive motor 60 rotates one revolution, the detector 50 sends an electrical signal. After receiving the electrical signal, the control module 20 controls the servo motor 37 to work, so that the slider 32 moves to the other side, realizing the left and right reciprocating horizontal movement of the slider 32, thereby realizing the left and right winding of the guide beam.

[0056] Specifically, such as Figure 7As shown in the figure: The servo 37 is arranged on the inner wall of the winding housing 10, and the output shaft of the servo 37 is fixedly connected to the fork 36. The fork 36 is slidably connected to the transmission rod 35. The transmission rod 35 is fixedly connected to the slider 33. A hole 34 is formed in the center of the slider 33. The slider 33 is slidably connected to the mounting shaft 12 through the hole 34. Thus, when the servo 37 works, it drives the fork 36 to rotate, further pushing the transmission rod 35 to move, and driving the slider 33 to move. Preferably, both the mounting shaft 12 and the hole 34 are square-shaped to prevent the slider 33 from rotating during the movement, which affects the movement efficiency of the slider 33.

[0057] Specifically, as Figure 7 shown in the figure: A guiding groove 32 is arranged on the outer surface of the slider 33. A first clamping block 31 is arranged outside the guiding groove 32. The first clamping block 31 is in a "冂" shape. The bottom of the first clamping block 31 is clamped with the slider 33 for pressing the light guide beam while not affecting the sliding of the light guide beam inside the guiding groove 32.

[0058] Specifically, as Figure 8 and 10 shown in the figure: A plurality of winding seats 43 are annularly arranged on the outer surface of the winding wheel 41. The winding seat 43 includes a seat body 431. A second groove 433 is arranged on the seat body 431. The center of the second groove 433 coincides with the center of the winding seat 43. First grooves 432 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the second groove 433. The first grooves 432 are used for winding the wire body of the light guide beam. The second groove 433 is used for placing the end of the light guide beam. A second clamping block 42 is arranged on one of the seat bodies 431 on the second groove 433. The second clamping block 42 is clamped with the seat body 431 for fixing the end of the light guide beam. Thus, the end of the light guide beam is fixed by the second clamping block 42, and the winding wheel 41 is driven to rotate by the driving motor 50 to realize the winding of the light guide beam. Through the guiding of the light guide beam by the guiding part 30, the wire body of the light guide beam is wound clockwise in the first grooves 432 in a left-right pattern.

[0059] Specifically, as Figure 9 shown in the figure: A spring 46 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the seat body 431. The other end of the spring 46 is fixedly connected to the winding wheel 41. Thus, when the user releases the rotating shaft 45, under the action of the spring 46, the seat body 431 automatically pops out, which is convenient for subsequent use.

[0060] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0061] In use, one end of the beam guide enters the interior of the winding housing 10 through the inlet 11 and passes through the guide groove 32 and is set inside the second groove 433. The end and outer surface of the beam guide are limited by the second clamp 42 and the first clamp 31. At this time, the drive motor 60 is started. When the output shaft of the drive motor 60 rotates one revolution, the detector 50 sends an electrical signal. After receiving the electrical signal, the control module 20 controls the servo motor 37 to work, so that the slider 32 moves to the other side, realizing the left and right reciprocating horizontal movement of the slider 32, thereby realizing the left and right winding of the beam guide, avoiding the phenomenon of knotting and twisting after the beam guide is untied.

[0062] It should be noted that the control module 20 is a CPU control module used to release PWM signals. A PWM control signal is generally required to control the operation of the servo motor 37.

[0063] For example, when the detector 50 detects that the output shaft of the drive motor 60 rotates one revolution, it will release a start signal to the control module 20. The control module 20 will release a PWM control signal to the servo motor 37. The expected value of the left / right turn signal of the servo motor 37 is a pulse signal between 1 and 2 milliseconds. If the signal is 1 millisecond, the servo motor will turn to the leftmost position; if the signal is 1.5 milliseconds, the servo motor will turn to the middle position; if the signal is 2 milliseconds, the servo motor will turn to the rightmost position.

[0064] Therefore, the control module 20 can control the rotation direction of the servo motor 37 by changing the pulse width of the PWM signal, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the servo motor 37 to work in the left, center and right directions, and realizing the guiding function of the beam.

[0065] Example 2:

[0066] like Figure 8-9 As shown: the seat 431 is movably disposed on the outer surface of the winding wheel 41, and the seat 431 is fixedly connected to the pull rope 47. The other end of the pull rope 47 is fixedly connected to the rotating wheel 48, and the rotating wheel 48 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 45. The other end of the rotating shaft 45 rotates through the winding wheel 41 and extends to the outside. Thus, when the guide beam is wound, the rotating shaft 45 is rotated, which drives the rotating wheel 48 to rotate, thereby retracting each seat 43, making it easier to take out the wound guide beam and improve the winding efficiency.

[0067] Example 3:

[0068] like Figure 10 As shown: In order to prevent the beam guide from automatically dispersing after being taken out, after the beam guide is wound, the binding strap is inserted between two adjacent seats 431 and the beam guide is bound and fixed in an "∞" manner. Since there is a gap between the two adjacent seats 431, it is convenient to bind the beam guide.

[0069] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
