[0038] Please refer to Figure 1-4 , which is a mechanical arm disclosed in the first embodiment of the present invention. The mechanical arm includes a main arm 10, at least one branch arm 20, a first rotation joint 30 for rotatably mounting the branch arm 20 on the main arm 10, a support plate 40, and a second rotation joint 50 for rotatably mounting the support plate 40 on the branch arm 20.

[0039] The main arm 10 includes a main body 12 and a fixing portion 14, and the fixing portion 14 is provided with a mounting hole 16. In this embodiment, the fixing portion 14 is in the form of a circular ring, and the mounting hole 16 is a circular stepped hole.

[0040] The support arm 20 is an elongated plate member, which includes a mounting portion 22, a frame portion 24, and a middle portion 26 connecting the mounting portion 22 and the frame portion 24. The mounting portion 22 is provided with a boss 23, and a receiving groove 25 is provided around the boss 23. The frame portion 24 is provided with a through hole 27. The support arm 20 also includes a first reinforcement structure 28 and a second reinforcement structure 29 respectively provided on two opposite sides. In this embodiment, the first reinforcement structure 28 includes a plurality of reinforcement ribs provided on the middle portion 26, and the second reinforcement structure 29 includes a plurality of reinforcement ribs extending from the middle portion 26 to the frame portion 24, and perpendicular to or intersecting with the extension direction of the reinforcement ribs of the first reinforcement structure 28, that is, staggered. The boss 23 and the receiving groove 25 of the mounting portion 22 and the second reinforcement structure 29 are located on the same side of the support arm 20.

[0041] The first rotating joint 30 includes a bearing frame 32, a first driver, a bearing frame 36, and a first bearing 38. The bearing frame 32 can be placed in the mounting hole 16 of the main arm 10 to accommodate the first driver and the bearing frame 36. The bearing frame 32 includes a bottom 31, a boss 33 corresponding to the step installation of the mounting hole 16, and a vertical wall 35 connected between the bottom 31 and the boss 33. In this embodiment, the first driver is a motor 34. The bearing frame 36 includes a first bearing seat 37 protruding from the boss 33 of the bearing frame 32 and two legs 39 extending from the first bearing seat 37 and fixed to the bottom 31 of the bearing frame 32. The first bearing seat 37 is provided with a through hole 371 for the boss 23 of the support arm 20 to pass through and be fixed to the output shaft of the motor 34. In this embodiment, the first bearing 38 is a plane thrust bearing, and the through hole 371 is a step hole to facilitate the placement of the first bearing 38. At the same time, the first bearing 38 is embedded in the receiving groove 25 around the boss 23, so that the support arm 20 can be better supported and rotate smoothly.

[0042] The support plate 40 is used to install a surgical execution device or a surgical robot, specifically referring to a surgical execution device and a surgical robot having the surgical execution device described in Chinese patent application 202310237481.7, a surgical execution module and a surgical robot described in 202310565522.5, and a surgical robot delivery module described in 202310460639.7, all of which are introduced into the present invention. The support plate 40 includes a sleeve shaft 42 and a placement groove 44 opened around the sleeve shaft 42.

[0043] The second rotating joint 50 includes a frame 52, a second driver, and a second bearing 58. In this embodiment, the second driver is a motor 54. The frame 52 includes a frame 55 for accommodating the motor 54 and a second bearing seat 56 provided on the frame 55. The second bearing seat 56 is provided with a through hole 57 for the sleeve shaft 42 of the support plate 40 to pass through and be fixed to the output shaft of the motor 54. In this embodiment, the second bearing 58 is a plane thrust bearing, and the through hole 57 is a stepped hole to facilitate the placement of the second bearing 58. At the same time, the second bearing 58 is embedded in the placement groove 44 around the sleeve shaft 42, so that the support plate 40 can be better supported and rotate smoothly.

[0044] In this embodiment, the boss 33 of the bearing frame 32 is mounted on the fixed portion 14 of the main arm 10, and its bottom 31 and the vertical wall 35 are set to pass through the mounting hole 16 of the fixed portion 14. The motor 34 is mounted on the bottom 31 of the bearing frame 32 and is located between the two legs 39 of the bearing frame 36. Specifically, the motor 34 is installed at a position deviated from the end of the fixed portion 14, that is, close to the physical direction of the fixed portion 14 (the rotation center of the motor 34 driving the support arm 20 to rotate is deviated from the center of the mounting hole 16 of the fixed portion 14), so that the mounting portion 22 and the middle portion 26 of the support arm 20 (that is, most of the support arm 20) overlap on the fixed portion 14 to shorten the length of the robot arm. That is, by sinking the support frame 32 and utilizing the rising design of the bearing frame 36 to allow the first bearing seat 37 to protrude from the boss 33 of the support frame 32, the support arm 20 can be installed, so that the motor 34 and the support arm 20 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the fixing portion 14 of the main arm 10, so that the support arm 20 can be installed closer to the main arm 10 and rotate relatively.

[0045] In this embodiment, the second bearing seat 56 of the frame 52 is fixed to the frame 24 of the support arm 20, and the frame 55 for fixing the motor 54 is lowered through the through hole 27 of the frame 24. The sleeve shaft 42 of the support plate 40 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 54 through the through hole 57 and the through hole 27 of the second bearing seat 56, so that the motor 54 and the support plate 40 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the support arm 20, so that the support plate 40 is installed closer to the support arm 20 and rotates relatively, and the rotation plane where the support plate 40 is located is parallel to the rotation plane where the support arm 20 is located.

[0046] In this embodiment, the motor 34 and the motor 54 may include a damping shaft or a reducer, and cannot rotate even with a large torque in the non-powered state, i.e., the locked state, to ensure stable positioning; when powered, they can rotate to a suitable position. Moreover, the motor 34 and the motor 54 are both located on the same side of the support arm 20, so that the support plate 40 is also closer to the fixing portion 14 of the main arm 10.

[0047] In summary, the robotic arm not only includes a main arm 10, but also includes a support arm 20 rotatably mounted on the main arm 10 and a support plate 40 rotatably mounted on the support arm 20, which provides a surgical execution device or a surgical robot mounted on the support plate 40 with multiple degrees of freedom, allowing the surgeon to adjust the robotic arm very flexibly, and in view of the settlement design of the supporting frame 32 and the frame 52, the support plate 40 is installed closer to the support arm 20, and the support arm 20 is installed overlapping with the main arm 10, that is, the support arm 20 is closer to the main arm 10, thereby reducing the overall height and length of the robotic arm and making its structure more compact.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , which is a mechanical arm disclosed in the second embodiment of the present invention. The mechanical arm comprises a main arm 10', at least one branch arm 20', a first rotation joint 30' rotatably mounting the branch arm 20' on the main arm 10', a support plate 40', and a second rotation joint 50' rotatably mounting the support plate 40' on the branch arm 20'.

[0049] The main arm 10' is the same as the main arm 10 of the first embodiment. The support arm 20' is an elongated plate, which includes a mounting portion 22', a frame portion 24' and a middle portion 26' connecting the mounting portion 22' and the frame portion 24'. The mounting portion 22' is the same as the mounting portion 22 of the first embodiment. The frame portion 24' is a solid portion. The support arm 20' also includes a first reinforcement structure 28' and a second reinforcement structure 29' respectively arranged on two opposite sides. In this embodiment, the first reinforcement structure 28' includes a plurality of reinforcement ribs arranged on the middle portion 26', and the second reinforcement structure 29' includes a reinforcement plate 291' and a tripod 293' fixed to the reinforcement plate 291', and the reinforcement plate 291' extends from the middle portion 26' to the frame portion 24', and is perpendicular to or intersecting with the extension direction of the reinforcement ribs of the first reinforcement structure 28', that is, staggered. The boss 23' and the receiving groove 25' of the mounting portion 22' are located on the same side of the support arm 20' as the second reinforcement structure 29'. A ball structure 295' is disposed at the bottom of the tripod 293'.

[0050] The first rotating joint 30′ includes a bearing frame 32′, a first driver 34′, a bearing frame 36′, and a first bearing 38′. The bearing frame 32′ includes a bottom 31′, a boss 33′ mounted on the step of the mounting hole 16′, and a track plate 35′. The boss 33′ and the track plate 35′ are respectively protruded from two opposite sides of the bottom 31′ and are arranged parallel to each other. The track plate 35′ can be either fan-shaped or circular. In this embodiment, the track plate 35′ carries a ball structure 295′, which has a circular track 355′ that allows the ball structure 295′ to slide. The first driver 34′, the bearing frame 36′, and the first bearing 38′ are basically the same as the first driver, the bearing frame 36, and the first bearing 38 of the first embodiment.

[0051] The support plate 40' is substantially the same as the support plate 40 of the first embodiment, and includes a sleeve shaft 42' and a placement groove 44' opened around the sleeve shaft 42'. The second rotation joint 50' includes a frame 52', a second driver 54', and a second bearing 58'. The frame 52' includes a frame 55' for mounting the second driver 54' and a second bearing seat 56' fixed to the frame 55'. The second driver 54' and the second bearing 58' are substantially the same as the second driver and the second bearing 58 of the first embodiment.

[0052] In this embodiment, the boss 33′ of the bearing frame 32′ is mounted on the fixed portion 14′ of the main arm 10′, and the track plate 35′ is located on the fixed portion 14′ of the main arm 10′. The first driver 34′ is mounted on the side of the bottom 31′ where the track plate 35′ is provided, and the bearing frame 36′ is also fixed to the side of the bottom 31′, so that the first driver 34′ is located between the two legs 39′ of the bearing frame 36′. That is, the track plate 35′, the first driver 34′, the bearing frame 36′ and the support arm 20′ are all located on the same side above the fixed portion 14′ of the main arm 10′, and are supported by the tripod 293′ of the second reinforcement structure 29′. When the first driver 34′ is in operation, it drives the boss 23′ of the support arm 20′ fixed to the first driver 34′ to rotate, so that the support arm 20′ rotates relatively on the main arm 10′. The first bearing 38' is a plane thrust bearing, and the through hole 371' is a stepped hole to facilitate the insertion of the first bearing 38'. At the same time, the first bearing 38' is embedded in the receiving groove 25' around the protruding column 23', so that the support arm 20' can be firmly supported while rotating, and the rotation is smoother.

[0053] In this embodiment, the frame 55' for fixing the second driver 54' is installed on the frame portion 24' of the support arm 20', and the sleeve shaft 42' of the support plate 40' passes through the through hole 57' of the second bearing seat 56' and is fixed to the second driver 54', so that the frame 52', the second driver 54' and the support plate 40' are all located on the side of the support arm 20' where the first reinforcement structure 28' is provided. When the second driver 54' is in operation, the sleeve shaft 42' of the support plate 40' fixed to the second driver 54' is driven to rotate, so that the support plate 40' is relatively rotated on the support arm 20', and the rotation plane where the support plate 40' is located is parallel to the rotation plane where the support arm 20' is located. The second bearing 58' is a plane thrust bearing, and the through hole 57' is a stepped hole to facilitate the placement of the second bearing 58'. At the same time, the second bearing 58' is embedded in the placement groove 44' around the sleeve shaft 42', so that the support plate 40' is stably supported while rotating, and the rotation is smoother.

[0054] The robot arm can also provide multiple degrees of freedom, and the tripod 293' of the second reinforcement structure 29' of the support arm 20' can be slidably supported on the track plate 35' of the bearing frame 32' of the first rotating joint 30', thereby improving the support stability of the robot arm.

[0055] In other embodiments, in addition to using the first driver 34' to drive the support arm 20' to rotate, the principle of opposite poles attracting each other and like poles repelling each other can also be used to achieve this. Specifically, a permanent magnet is provided at the bottom of the tripod 293' of the support arm 20', and the first rotating joint 30' includes a bearing frame 32', a bearing frame 36' and a first bearing 38'. An electromagnet is installed on the track plate 35' of the bearing frame 32', and the electromagnet is energized to generate a magnetic field, and a magnetic field force is applied to the permanent magnet to drive the support arm 20' to rotate. In this way, the first driver 34' can be replaced to drive the support arm 20' to rotate. Preferably, two electromagnets can be installed on the track plate 35' of the bearing frame 32', respectively located on both sides of the bottom of the tripod 293'. When the magnetic field forces generated by the two electromagnets are equal in magnitude but different in direction, the support arm 20' is fixed; when the magnetic field forces generated by the two electromagnets are in the same direction or different in direction but different in magnitude, the support arm 20' can be driven to rotate. Of course, other magnetic coupling forces may also be used as long as they can drive the support arm 20' to rotate.

[0056] In addition, the robotic arm may include a plurality of arms, each of which is rotatably mounted on the main arm by a first rotating joint, and a support plate is rotatably mounted on the arm by a second rotating joint, and a surgical execution device or a surgical robot is mounted on each support plate to form a modular surgical platform. For details, refer to a surgical robot modular platform described in Chinese patent application 202310185895.X.

[0057] The above-mentioned embodiments only express limited implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements or deteriorations can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention. For example, the driver in the present invention can also be a steering gear, a stepper motor, a servo motor or a motor, etc., which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be based on the claims.
