[0041] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0042] To ensure that the firing handle can be fully grasped before it can return to its original position during clinical use, thus improving the success rate of surgery, this embodiment provides a safe firing stapler. The following describes how... Figures 1 to 8 The specific content of this embodiment will be described in detail.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the safety-firing stapler in this embodiment includes a stapler body 1, a firing handle 2, a fixed handle 3, and a locking assembly 4. The firing handle 2 is rotatably mounted on the stapler body 1. The fixed handle 3 is fixedly mounted on the stapler body 1 and has a hollow structure. An arc-shaped divider 31 is provided inside the fixed handle 3, dividing the hollow structure into a first arc-shaped guide groove 32 and a second arc-shaped guide groove 33. A first anti-reverse platform 311 is provided on the side of the arc-shaped divider 31 closest to the first arc-shaped guide groove 32. The locking assembly 4 includes a limiting pin 41 and an elastic flap 42. The firing handle 2 is provided with a strip groove 221. One end of the limiting pin 41 passes through the first arc-shaped guide groove 32 and extends into the strip groove 221. One end of the elastic flap 42 is connected to the firing handle 2, and the other end of the elastic flap 42 abuts against the limiting pin 41. The elastic flap 42 is used to ensure that the limiting pin 41 always has a tendency to slide along the strip groove 221. The limiting pin 41 is configured such that during the firing process of the firing handle 2, the limiting pin 41 moves within the first arc-shaped guide groove 32 and can be limited by the first anti-reverse platform 311. After the firing handle 2 completes firing, the limiting pin 41 slides into the second arc-shaped guide groove 33, causing the firing handle 2 to reset.

[0044] In summary, the safety-firing stapler provided in this embodiment has a firing handle 2 rotatably connected to the stapler body 1, and a fixed handle 3 fixedly connected to the stapler body 1. The hollow structure of the fixed handle 3 is divided into a first arc-shaped guide groove 32 and a second arc-shaped guide groove 33 by an arc-shaped partition 31. The arc-shaped partition 31 is provided with a first anti-reverse platform 311. The limiting pin 41 of the locking assembly 4 is slidably disposed in the strip-shaped groove 221. The limiting pin 41 can be pressed against the arc-shaped partition 31 by the elastic flap 42. When firing, the limiting pin 41 will contact the first anti-reverse platform 311 on the arc-shaped partition 31. At this time, when the firing handle 2 is released, the firing handle 2 will be limited and cannot be reset; if the firing handle 2 is continued to be held, the limiting pin 41 will continue to move along the first arc-shaped guide groove 32. When the firing handle 2 is fired to the bottom, the limiting pin 41 slides from the first arc-shaped guide groove 32 into the second arc-shaped guide groove 33 through the elastic thrust of the elastic flap 42. At this time, the firing handle 2 is released and the instrument can be reset normally.

[0045] Furthermore, the arc-shaped separator 31 is provided with a plurality of second anti-recoil platforms 312 spaced apart along its length. By providing multiple second anti-recoil platforms 312 on the arc-shaped separator 31, the multi-position use of the firing handle 2 can be satisfied. For example, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a second anti-reverse platform 312 is designed on the arc-shaped separator 31. The first anti-reverse platform 311 and the second anti-reverse platform 312 are arranged at intervals, and both the first anti-reverse platform 311 and the second anti-reverse platform 312 are triangular mechanisms.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the firing handle 2 includes a first bottom wall 21 and two first side walls 22. The two first side walls 22 are respectively disposed on both sides of the first bottom wall 21. A strip-shaped groove 221 is provided on the first side wall 22. One end of the elastic flap 42 is connected to the first bottom wall 21, and the end of the limiting pin 41 is slidably disposed in the strip-shaped groove 221. The first bottom wall 21 and the two first side walls 22 enclose a space for mounting the snap-fit ​​assembly 4. The firing handle 2 can be made of metal, which has high structural strength.

[0047] Optionally, two elastic flaps 42 are provided. The two ends of the limiting pin 41 are slidably connected to the corresponding strip grooves 221. By adding two elastic flaps 42, the thrust on the limiting pin 41 is increased on the one hand, and the force on the limiting pin 41 is balanced on the left and right sides on the other hand, so that the two ends of the limiting pin 41 move simultaneously.

[0048] Furthermore, the first bottom wall 21 is provided with a limiting hole 211. The elastic flap 42 includes a first flap portion 421, a second flap portion 422, a third flap portion 423, and a fourth flap portion 424 connected in sequence. The first flap portion 421 abuts against the limiting pin 41, the second flap portion 422 abuts against the upper surface of the first bottom wall 21, the third flap portion 423 passes through the limiting hole 211, and the fourth flap portion 424 abuts against the lower surface of the first bottom wall 21. The second flap portion 422 and the fourth flap portion 424 are parallel. Through the cooperation of the third flap portion 423 and the limiting hole 211, the elastic flap 42 is securely installed on the first bottom wall 21 of the firing handle 2.

[0049] For example, the safety firing stapler also includes a pin 5, which is disposed on the stapler body 1. Both first sidewalls 22 are provided with pin holes 222, and the pin 5 passes through the pin holes 222. The firing handle 2 is rotatably connected to the stapler body 1 through the pin 5.

[0050] Furthermore, the safety firing coupler also includes a protective element 6, which is fitted onto the firing handle 2. By adding the protective element 6, it serves two purposes: firstly, to protect the firing handle 2 from damage, and secondly, to increase the contact friction with the fingers, preventing slippage during firing.

[0051] Furthermore, the protective component 6 includes a second bottom wall 61 and two second side walls 62, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the second bottom wall 61. A first limiting step 223 and a second limiting step 224 are spaced apart on the first side wall 22. A first locking protrusion 621 and a second locking protrusion 622 are spaced apart on the inner wall surface of the second side wall 62. The first locking protrusion 621 engages with the first limiting step 223, and the second locking protrusion 622 engages with the second limiting step 224. In this embodiment, both the second limiting step 224 and the second locking protrusion 622 are located near the end. By adding the first limiting step 223, the second limiting step 224, the first locking protrusion 621, and the second locking protrusion 622, the connection between the protective component 6 and the firing handle 2 is ensured.

[0052] Furthermore, the lower surface of the first sidewall 22 is provided with a first notch 225 and a second notch 226 spaced apart, and the upper surface of the second bottom wall 61 is provided with a first protrusion 611 and a second protrusion 612 spaced apart. The first notch 225 engages with the first protrusion 611, and the second notch 226 engages with the second protrusion 612. The upper surface of the second bottom wall 61 is provided with a boss 613, which is sandwiched between the two first sidewalls 22. By adding the first notch 225, the second notch 226, the first protrusion 611, the second protrusion 612, and the boss 613, the connection between the protective member 6 and the firing handle 2 is further improved.

[0053] Furthermore, the first bottom wall 21 is provided with a first clearance hole 212, and the second bottom wall 61 is provided with a second clearance hole 614. The first clearance hole 212 and the second clearance hole 614 are arranged vertically correspondingly, and the fixing handle 3 can extend out of the first clearance hole 212 and the second clearance hole 614. During the process of the firing handle 2 driving the locking assembly 4 to move, as the firing handle 2 moves upward, the bottom of the fixing handle 3 will insert into the interior of the firing handle 2. By adding the first clearance hole 212 and the second clearance hole 614, structural interference between the fixing handle 3 and the firing handle 2 and the protective component 6 can be avoided.

[0054] Note that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention, the scope of which is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
