Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a manual knife return device and an electric stapler. Background Art

[0002] Electric staplers are commonly used instruments in surgical operations, especially in minimally invasive surgeries such as laparoscopy. Electric staplers use titanium nails to separate or staple tissues. They are easy and quick to operate, greatly shortening the operation time and can replace traditional manual suturing.

[0003] When the electric stapler is cutting thicker human tissue, if the motor power is insufficient or the motor fails, it will get stuck. At this time, the jaws of the stapler clamp the human tissue and the cutting knife stays in the tissue and cannot be withdrawn. The anastomosis operation cannot continue and the patient is in great pain. In this case, the cutting knife needs to be removed from the human tissue immediately. If it takes too long, it is easy to cause medical accidents.

[0004] The industry calls the process of safely removing a cutting knife stuck in the human body "retracting the knife." Currently, electric staplers on the market are often retracted manually (directly by hand, or by moving the gear backwards) or by violent pulling out (using tweezers, pliers and other tools). This can easily damage the stapler and make the cutting knife unable to be removed from the patient's tissue, which is very dangerous.

[0005] In addition, in some knife return structures, the knife retraction transmission gear and the motor gear are disengaged by a spring that springs open to separate the knife retraction transmission gear from the motor gear. However, the spring knife return structure also has defects: the operation is relatively complicated and prone to failure, resulting in the stapler losing control and being unable to retract the knife normally. Moreover, the spring elastic force operation is laborious. When the resistance is too large, it is easy to become unable to retract the knife manually, which poses a certain risk. Summary of the invention

After being pulled out, the wrench is further used as a torque input tool to achieve manual knife retraction. This method of segmenting and using force to separate the knife retraction transmission gear from the electric gear is more labor-saving than directly pulling the knife retraction transmission gear upward, and effectively avoids the risk of the doctor's inability to manually retract the knife due to insufficient strength when the resistance is too large during the operation, and will not cause damage to the stapler, thereby improving the success rate of the anastomosis operation.

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0021] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] The present invention relates to a preferred embodiment of a manual knife return device.

[0023] like Figure 1-16 As shown, the manual knife return device includes a manual wrench assembly 10 and a knife retracting assembly. The manual wrench assembly 10 can rotate in a counterclockwise direction to drive the knife retracting assembly to move upward. Specifically, the first is the manual wrench assembly 10, which includes a manual wrench handle 1, a manual wrench sleeve 3 and a manual wrench shaft 2; the second is the retracting assembly, which includes a retracting gear shaft 11, a retracting transmission gear 12, a motor gear 16 and a rack 15.

[0024] Based on the above content, the manual wrench handle 1 and the manual wrench sleeve 3 are configured to be connected to the head section 2-1 and the middle section 2-2 of the manual wrench shaft 2, the manual wrench handle 1 can rotate relative to the manual wrench sleeve 3, the tail section 2-3 of the manual wrench shaft 2 is threadedly connected to the retracting gear shaft 11, the retracting transmission gear 12 is sleeved on the retracting gear shaft 11, and the retracting transmission gear 12 is meshed and connected with the motor gear 16 and the rack 15.

[0025] When the manual wrench assembly 10 drives the retracting gear shaft 11 to rise to a certain height, the retracting transmission gear 12 disengages from the motor gear 16; when the manual wrench assembly 10 drives the retracting gear shaft 11 to continue to rise, the retracting transmission gear 12 drives the rack 15 to retreat.

[0026] In more detail, Figure 1-5 As shown, the manual wrench handle 1 includes a handle gripping portion 1-1 and an insertion portion 1-2, the insertion portion 1-2 has an insertion hole 1-3, and the head section 2-1 of the manual wrench shaft 2 has an insertion card block 2-5, which is inserted into the insertion hole 1-3, so that the manual wrench shaft 2 and the manual wrench handle 1 maintain synchronous movement.

[0027] Furthermore, the manual wrench sleeve 3 includes an axial hole 3-1, and the middle section 2-2 of the manual wrench shaft 2 is configured to match and install with the axial hole 3-1. A transition end plate 2-6 is provided at the connection position between the head section 2-1 and the middle section 2-2 of the manual wrench shaft 2. In addition, a circle of arc-shaped flange 3-3 is provided at the top port position of the manual wrench sleeve 3, and the bottom surface of the transition end plate 2-6 contacts with the surface of the arc-shaped flange 3-3 to form a line fit.

[0028] When the manual wrench shaft 2 is rotated by external force, the bottom surface of the transition end plate 2-6 of the head section 2-1 will come into contact with the top port of the manual wrench sleeve 3. This contact causes the manual wrench shaft 2 to generate pressure on the manual wrench sleeve 3. Therefore, a circle of arc-shaped flange 3-3 is provided at the port at the top of the manual wrench sleeve 3, which can enable the bottom surface of the transition end plate 2-6 to form a linear fit with the top port of the manual wrench sleeve 3. This linear fit helps to reduce the friction resistance of the manual wrench assembly 10 during rotation, thereby improving the efficiency and comfort of using the manual wrench.

[0029] Furthermore, the tail section of the manual wrench shaft 2 is provided with an external thread 2-4, the retracting gear shaft 11 has a through hole 11-1, and the inner wall surface of the head of the through hole 11-1 is provided with an internal thread 11-2. The tail section 2-3 of the manual wrench shaft 2 is arranged to pass through the shaft hole 3-1 of the manual wrench sleeve 3 and then be threadedly connected with the retracting gear shaft 11, so that the manual wrench shaft 2 can rotate relative to the retracting gear shaft 11 and drive the retracting gear shaft 11 to gradually move upward.

[0030] like Figure 6-13 As shown, the external thread 2-4 and the internal thread 11-2 are both double-start threads, the thread head end of the external thread 2-4 is provided with a rotation-stopping end face 1 2-4-1, and the thread tail end of the internal thread 11-2 is provided with a rotation-stopping end face 2 11-2-1: When the external thread 2-4 starts to contact the internal thread 11-2, the manual wrench shaft 2 rotates relative to the retracting gear shaft 11, and at the same time, the retracting gear shaft 11 and the retracting transmission gear 12 matched with the retracting gear shaft 11 start to gradually move upward under the drive of the manual wrench shaft 2; When the anti-rotation end face 1 2-4-1 of the external thread 2-4 contacts the anti-rotation end face 2 11-2-1 of the internal thread 11-2, the retracting gear shaft 11 drives the retracting transmission gear 12 to move upward to a certain height and disengage from the motor gear 16; At this time, the manual wrench shaft 2 continues to rotate, the retracting gear shaft 11 will continue to rotate with the manual wrench shaft 2, the retracting transmission gear 12 and the retracting gear shaft 11 rotate synchronously, and the retracting transmission gear 12 drives the rack 15 to retract, thereby retracting the knife.

[0031] The initial design of the present invention is to directly use the tail screw of the manual wrench assembly 10 to screw out the knife retracting transmission gear 12 to disengage it from the motor gear 16. However, because the two gears are tightly engaged, the knife retracting transmission gear 12 cannot be pulled out at all. Instead, the manual wrench assembly 10 tends to move downward.

[0032] In order to easily and effortlessly separate the knife retracting transmission gear from the motor gear, the present invention designs the manual wrench assembly 10 into three sections. The bottom end rotates while the middle part remains stationary. The middle part provides good support, and the knife retracting transmission gear 12 is moved upward with the help of the supporting force and the upward spiral pulling force, and is completely separated from the motor gear 16.

[0033] This method of segmenting and using force to separate the knife retraction transmission gear 16 from the electric gear 12 is more labor-saving than directly pulling the knife retraction transmission gear 12 upwards. It effectively avoids the risk of the doctor's lack of strength and inability to manually retract the knife when the resistance is too great during the operation, and will not cause damage to the stapler, thereby improving the success rate of the anastomosis operation.

[0034] More specifically, the rear end of the retracting gear shaft 11 is provided with a rotation-stopping boss 11-3, and the rear end of the inner cavity of the retracting transmission gear 13 is provided with a rotation-stopping groove 12-1. Fig. 9 As shown, the anti-rotation groove 12 - 1 cooperates with the anti-rotation boss 11 - 3 to limit the relative rotation between the retracting gear shaft 11 and the retracting transmission gear 12 .

[0035] The shapes of the anti-rotation boss 11-3 and the anti-rotation groove 12-1 are not limited to hexagonal shapes, but can also be square, triangular, etc., and are not limited to specific forms. The key is to be able to effectively achieve the anti-rotation effect.

[0036] Preferably, the anti-rotation boss 11-3 is a hexagonal boss larger than the outer diameter of the retracting gear shaft 11, and the anti-rotation groove 12-1 is an inner hexagonal groove larger than the inner diameter of the retracting transmission gear 12, which occupies less space and can maintain a good anti-rotation effect.

[0037] In addition, the manual wrench assembly 10 and the retracting assembly are installed in the handle housing of the stapler, and a lower clamping plate 9 is arranged in the top cover plate of the handle housing. The lower clamping plate 9 is provided with a limit groove 9-1, and the bottom end of the manual wrench sleeve 3 is provided with a limit rib 3-2. The limit rib 3-2 is inserted into the limit groove 9-1, so that the rotation of the manual wrench sleeve 3 can be limited when the manual wrench shaft 2 and the retracting gear shaft 11 rotate relative to each other, ensuring that the manual wrench sleeve 3 remains stationary when the manual wrench shaft 2 and the retracting gear shaft 11 rotate relative to each other.

[0038] In addition, a gear fixing shaft 14 is installed in the through hole 11 - 1 of the retracting gear shaft 11 , and the gear fixing shaft 14 extends downward to contact and connect with the motor bracket 6 . A gear pad 13 that cooperates with the retracting transmission gear 12 is mounted on the gear fixing shaft 14 .

[0039] The gear pad 13 provides accurate positioning and stable support for the retracting transmission gear 12 mounted thereon, thereby ensuring that the retracting transmission gear 12 will not deviate during the rotation process.

[0040] The manual return device of the present invention uses an external manual wrench to directly pull out the tool retraction transmission gear. After being pulled out, the wrench is further used as a torque input tool to realize manual tool retraction.

[0041] The wrench enables it to transmit force more effectively, especially in situations where a larger torque is required. Through the principle of leverage, doctors or technicians can generate a larger torque with a smaller force, making it easier to move or rotate the retracting gear shaft. The contact surface of the wrench is usually smooth and uniform, which helps to disperse force and reduce local stress concentration. Using a wrench can reduce damage to surrounding tissues. In addition, the threaded structure saves more effort and helps to gradually reduce resistance during rotation, reducing the difficulty of operation and the risk of failure.

[0042] The present invention also relates to a preferred embodiment of an electric stapler.

[0043] like Figure 14-17 As shown, the electric stapler includes a handle assembly 8, a rotating head 5, a barrel assembly 7, a stapler assembly 17 and a cutting knife. The rotating head 5 is rotatably connected to the handle assembly 8, the rear end of the barrel assembly 7 is connected to the rotating head 5, and the front end of the barrel assembly 7 is connected to the stapler assembly 17. The stapler assembly 17 includes a staple magazine assembly 17-1 and a staple support assembly 17-2. The distal ends of the staple magazine assembly 17-1 and the staple support assembly 17-2 form jaws 18 capable of clamping tissue, and the jaws 18 are provided with a cutting knife capable of cutting tissue when the jaws 18 are closed.

[0044] The electric stapler also includes the manual knife retracting device, which is installed on the handle assembly 8. The knife retracting transmission gear 12 can gradually move upward under the control of the manual wrench assembly 10 until it disengages from the motor gear 16. Then, the knife retracting transmission gear 12 drives the rack 15 to retract under the control of the manual wrench assembly 10, thereby driving the cutting knife in the jaws to retreat, thereby realizing manual knife retraction.

[0045] The knife retraction operation process of the electric stapler of the present invention is as follows: Figure 10-13 As shown: First, turn the manual wrench handle 1 counterclockwise, and the manual wrench shaft 2 only rotates under the limit of the manual wrench sleeve 3. The manual wrench shaft 2 rotates relative to the retracting gear shaft 11 and drives the retracting gear shaft 11 to move upward. The tool retracting gear shaft 11 cooperates with the tool retracting transmission gear 12 to drive the tool retracting transmission gear 12 to rise together. After rising to a certain height, the tool retracting transmission gear 12 is separated from the motor gear 16. At this time, the anti-rotation end face 1 2-4-1 of the external thread 2-4 of the manual wrench shaft 2 contacts the anti-rotation end face 2 11-2-1 of the internal thread 11-2 of the tool retracting gear shaft 11; Then continue to rotate the manual wrench handle 1 counterclockwise, the manual wrench shaft 2 and the retracting gear shaft 11 rotate counterclockwise together, the retracting gear shaft 11 cooperates with the retracting transmission gear 12 to drive the retracting transmission gear 12 to rotate counterclockwise synchronously, and the retracting transmission gear 12 drives the retracting rack 15 to retract, thereby driving the cutting knife in the jaws to retreat and the jaws to open, thereby realizing manual retracting.

[0046] The beneficial effects of the manual knife return device and the electric stapler of the present invention are: Using a principle similar to that of a jack, the middle section of the wrench remains stationary when the lower section of the manual wrench assembly rotates the electric gear upward, so that the tool retraction transmission gear can be easily pulled out. After being pulled out, the wrench is further used as a torque input tool to realize manual tool retraction. This method of separating the knife retraction transmission gear from the electric gear in sections and using force is more labor-saving than directly pulling up the knife retraction transmission gear, which effectively avoids the risk of the doctor not being able to manually retract the knife due to insufficient strength when the resistance is too great during the operation, and will not cause damage to the stapler, thereby improving the success rate of the anastomosis operation; The wrench can transmit force more efficiently, and medical staff can generate greater torque with less force, making it easier to move or rotate the retractor gear shaft; The use of a threaded structure helps to gradually reduce resistance during rotation, thereby lowering operational difficulty and the risk of failure.

[0047] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
