Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular relates to a clamping system. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the incidence of valvular regurgitation has been increasing. The methods for treating valvular regurgitation mainly include open-chest surgery and minimally invasive interventional surgery. Open-chest surgery is very traumatic to patients, while minimally invasive interventional surgery is less traumatic and patients recover faster after surgery. Therefore, minimally invasive interventional surgery is increasingly widely used.

[0003] At present, the research and development of minimally invasive interventional surgery is mostly focused on the delivery system for valve repair, and not much attention is paid to the clamping device for fixing the delivery system. The optimization of the clamping device also has an important effect on improving the effect of minimally invasive interventional surgery. This is because the delivery system generally includes a multi-layer catheter and multiple control handles. When the delivery system delivers the implant to the heart valve position via the vein, the control handle is required to control the catheter in multiple planes and angles so that the implant can be accurately positioned. In this process, a clamping device is required to clamp the delivery system to maintain the position and angle of the delivery system when necessary.

[0004] The clamping device and delivery system used in the prior art generally adopt a fixing solution of screwing, which means that every time the angle of the delivery system needs to be adjusted, the screw needs to be loosened, then adjusted, and then screwed again after the adjustment is completed. The operation is complicated and time-consuming, and it is easy to miss the capture time of the implant. In addition, the angle of the delivery system may be offset during the process of re-tightening the screw, making it difficult for the implant to accurately reach the lesion site. In addition, due to the structural limitations of the delivery system, the current clamping device cannot clamp the delivery system at any position of the system, which in turn causes the delivery system to be unable to be fixed at any position. Summary of the invention

The clamping system can be used to clamp the delivery system in the medical field, and the delivery system is used to load implants and deliver the implants to a predetermined position in the patient's body, such as a heart valve. During operation, by adjusting the overlapping area of ​​the first through-groove and the second through-groove, the delivery system is placed at the overlap of the two through-grooves, and the delivery system is clamped by the groove walls of the two through-grooves, and the clamping force is provided by the first elastic member. When adjusting the angle of the delivery system, the operator can directly apply a force to the delivery system to overcome part of the elastic potential energy of the first elastic member to rotate the delivery system. The operation is simple, convenient and time-saving. When the angle adjustment is completed, the operator stops applying a force to the delivery system, and the delivery system immediately stops rotating. At the same time, the clamping mechanism re-clamps the delivery system, and the movement of the components of the clamping mechanism will not cause the delivery system to have an angle deviation.

[0039] Further, the clamping system also includes a guide mechanism, the clamping mechanism is used to connect with the guide mechanism, the clamping mechanism also includes a locking member, the locking member is used to selectively lock the clamping mechanism and the guide mechanism or release the locking between the clamping mechanism and the guide mechanism; when the locking member locks the clamping mechanism and the guide mechanism, the clamping mechanism is prevented from moving along the first direction on the guide mechanism, and when the locking member releases the locking between the clamping mechanism and the guide mechanism, the clamping mechanism is allowed to move along the first direction on the guide mechanism. The guide mechanism is fixed at a specified position, and once the clamping mechanism and the guide mechanism are locked, the position of the clamping mechanism is fixed. In this way, the clamping mechanism can first clamp the position of the conveying system available for clamping, and then when the locking member releases the locking between the clamping mechanism and the guide mechanism, the clamping mechanism is controlled to move in the first direction to adjust the axial position of the conveying system, so as to achieve the effect of fixing the conveying system at any suitable position in the axial direction.

[0064] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a clamping system, which can clamp a delivery system used to deliver implants in the medical field. After the clamping system is used, the orientation or angle of the delivery system can be directly adjusted in the clamping state. The operation is simple and convenient, and no angle deviation will occur after the angle of the delivery system is adjusted, so that the delivery system can accurately deliver the implant to a predetermined position.

[0065] In order to make the purpose, advantages and features of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the drawings are all in very simplified form and in non-precise proportions, and are only used to conveniently and clearly assist in explaining the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention. The same or similar reference numerals in the drawings represent the same or similar components.

[0066] The clamping system includes a clamping mechanism 100 (such as Figures 1 to 3 marked). Figure 1A schematic structural diagram of a clamping mechanism 100 of a clamping system provided in one embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of the clamping mechanism 100 is shown, Figure 3 and Figure 4 Schematic diagrams showing the clamping mechanism 100 in different states. Figures 1 to 4 The clamping mechanism 100 includes a first clamping block 1000, a second clamping block 2000 and a first elastic member 3000. The first clamping block 1000 has an inner cavity (not marked in the figure). The first clamping block 1000 is also provided with a first through groove 1010 extending through along a first direction, and the first through groove 1010 partially overlaps with the inner cavity. The second clamping block 2000 is at least partially arranged in the inner cavity, and can generate relative movement with the first clamping block 1000 along a second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The second clamping block 2000 is provided with a second through groove 2010 extending through along the first direction, and the second through groove 2010 can at least partially overlap with the first through groove 1010. The first elastic member 3000 is arranged between the first clamping block 1000 and the second clamping block 2000. The clamping mechanism 100 is configured such that when the second clamping block 2000 moves relative to the first clamping block 1000 along the positive direction of the second direction under the driving of an external force, the overlapping area between the second through-groove 2010 and the first through-groove 1010 increases, and the first elastic member 3000 stores elastic potential energy. When the external force is canceled, the first elastic member 3000 releases the elastic potential energy, and drives the second clamping block 2000 to move relative to the first clamping block 1000 along the negative direction of the second direction, and reduces the overlapping area between the second through-groove 2010 and the first through-groove 1010.

[0067] The clamping system is used to clamp a delivery system 10 in the medical field. The delivery system 10 is used to deliver an implant to a predetermined position in a patient's body. In some embodiments, the implant is an artificial heart valve, and the predetermined position is a valve with regurgitation, such as a mitral valve, a tricuspid valve, or an aortic valve. In practice, the clamping mechanism 100 may have the following features: Figure 3 The first state shown, Figure 4 The second state shown and Figure 5The clamping state shown. The first state may be the initial state of the clamping mechanism 100, in which the second through-groove 2010 partially overlaps with the first through-groove 1010. Then, by applying an external force to the second clamping block 2000, the second clamping block 2000 moves relative to the first clamping block 1010 along the positive direction of the second direction to the second state, and the first elastic member 3000 stores elastic potential energy. When the clamping mechanism 100 is in the second state, the second through-groove 2010 completely overlaps with the first through-groove 1010. At this time, the conveying system 10 can be inserted into the through-groove. Then, the external force is canceled, the first elastic member 3000 begins to release the elastic potential energy, and drives the second clamping block 2000 to move along the negative direction of the second direction until the conveying system 10 abuts against the groove wall of the second through-groove 2010 and the groove wall of the first through-groove 1010 at the same time. It can be understood that when the conveying system 10 abuts against the groove walls of the second through groove 2010 and the first through groove 1010 at the same time, the conveying system 10 hinders the movement of the second clamping block 2000 along the negative direction of the second direction, thereby hindering the first elastic member 3000 from continuing to release elastic potential energy. This prevents the second clamping block 2000 from returning to the initial position, and the first elastic member 3000 still stores elastic potential energy, so the first elastic member 3000 can provide a clamping force and abut against the second clamping block 2000, thereby enabling the second clamping block 2000 and the first clamping block 1000 to clamp the conveying system 10. Since the first elastic member 3000 is a flexible component, when the clamping mechanism 100 clamps the conveying system, if it is necessary to rotate the conveying system 10 to adjust the angle, the operator can directly apply force to the conveying system 10 and rotate it. That is to say, the clamping mechanism 100 of the clamping system can allow the conveying system 10 to rotate directly under the action of external force to achieve angle adjustment while clamping the conveying system 10. There is no need for the clamping mechanism 100 to release the clamping of the conveying system 10, and there is no need to clamp the conveying system 10 again after the angle adjustment, which has the advantage of simple and convenient operation. In addition, once the external force controlling the rotation of the conveying system 10 is cancelled, the conveying system 10 immediately stops rotating. Since the operator will not perform other operations on the clamping mechanism 100, the conveying system 10 will not rotate erroneously under other operations, resulting in the adjusted angle deviation. In other words, the application of the clamping system is conducive to the conveying system 10 accurately delivering the implant to the predetermined position and improving the treatment effect.

[0068] It is worth noting that the "external force" refers to the force from people or objects other than the components of the clamping system itself, generally from the operator. The specific directions of the first direction and the second direction are determined according to actual conditions. Figure 1 Taking the orientation shown in the figure as an example, the first direction is the front-to-back direction, that is, the X direction shown in the figure, and the second direction is the up-down direction, that is, the Z direction shown in the figure. Optionally, the first elastic member 3000 is a spring, and the upper end of the spring is connected to the second clamping block 2000, and the lower end of the spring is connected to the first clamping block 1000, so the positive direction of the second direction is the downward direction, and the negative direction of the second direction is the upward direction.

[0069] Optionally, a first accommodating cavity is provided at the lower end of the second clamping block 2000. The upper end of the first elastic member 3000 is disposed in the first accommodating cavity, and the lower end of the first elastic member is disposed in the inner cavity. The number of the first elastic members 3000 may be multiple. When the clamping mechanism 100 is in the first state, the bottom of the second clamping block 2000 is placed in the inner cavity, and when the clamping mechanism 100 is in the second state, the bottom of the second clamping block 2000 abuts against the bottom of the inner cavity.

[0070] Preferably, please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 5 The first through-groove 1010 includes a first clamping portion 1011 and a first opening portion 1012 that are interconnected, and the first opening portion 1012 and the first clamping portion 1011 are arranged along a third direction. The first opening portion 1012 is arranged on one side of the first clamping portion 1011. Correspondingly, the second through-groove 2010 includes a second clamping portion 2011 and a second opening portion 2012 that are interconnected, and the second opening portion 2012 and the second clamping portion 2011 are arranged along the third direction, and the second opening portion 2012 is located on one side of the second clamping portion 2011. The third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. Figure 1In the orientation shown, the third direction is the left-right direction, i.e., the Y direction in the figure. The second clamping portion 2011 is used to overlap at least partially with the first clamping portion 1011, and the second opening portion 2012 is used to overlap at least partially with the first opening portion 1012. Preferably, when the clamping mechanism 100 is in the second state, the second clamping portion 2011 completely overlaps with the first clamping portion 1011, and the second opening portion 2012 completely overlaps with the first opening portion 1012. In this way, when the conveying system 10 is inserted into the clamping mechanism 100, the conveying system 10 can smoothly enter the two clamping portions in the overlapping state from the two opening portions in the overlapping state. When the clamping mechanism 100 clamps the conveying system 10, the conveying system 10 is actually in contact with the lower groove bottom of the second clamping portion 2011 and the upper groove bottom of the first clamping portion 1011.

[0071] Optionally, one end of the inner cavity away from the first elastic member 3000 is formed as a third opening (not marked in the figure), and a part of the structure of the second clamping block 2000 can enter and exit the inner cavity from the third opening. The clamping mechanism 100 also includes a pressing block 4000, which is placed on one end of the second clamping block 2000 away from the first elastic member 3000 and is located outside the first clamping block 1000. The operator applies a force to the pressing block 4000 to drive the second clamping block 2000 to move in the positive direction of the second direction. The pressing block 4000 has a larger surface, and the operator can have a better hand feel when operating.

[0072] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism 100 of the clamping system provided in the embodiment of the present invention can be arranged on a guide mechanism 200 (such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 ), and the clamping mechanism 100 further includes a locking member 5000 (as indicated in Figure 8As shown in FIG. 1 , the locking member 5000 is used to selectively lock the clamping mechanism 100 and the guide mechanism 200, or release the locking between the clamping mechanism 100 and the guide mechanism 200. When the locking member 5000 releases the clamping mechanism 100 and the guide mechanism 200 (that is, the locking member 5000 does not lock the clamping mechanism 100 and the guide mechanism 200), the clamping mechanism 100 is allowed to move along the first direction on the guide mechanism 200, and when the locking member 5000 locks the clamping mechanism 100 and the guide mechanism 200, the clamping mechanism 100 is prevented from moving along the first direction on the guide mechanism 200, that is, the clamping mechanism 100 is fixed on the guide mechanism 200. In practice, the guide mechanism 200 is fixed at a specified position. In other words, when the clamping mechanism 100 is fixed on the guide mechanism 200, the position of the clamping mechanism 100 in space is fixed. Therefore, after the clamping mechanism 100 clamps the conveying system 10 at the position of the conveying system 10 that allows clamping, the position of the conveying system 10 in space can be adjusted by moving the clamping mechanism 10 on the guide mechanism 200, so that the conveying system 10 can be fixed at any position.

[0073] Preferably, the clamping system further comprises the guide mechanism 200. In an optional embodiment, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the guide mechanism 200 includes a guide seat 210 and two limit blocks 220. The guide seat 210 is provided with a guide groove 211, and the guide groove 211 extends along the first direction. The two limit blocks 220 extend along the first direction. The two limit blocks 220 are arranged at intervals in the third direction, and each of the limit blocks 220 is connected to a groove wall of the guide groove 211.

[0074] It should be noted that, the “the guide groove 211 extends along the first direction” mentioned here means that when the clamping mechanism 100 is arranged on the guide mechanism 200, the extension direction of the guide groove 211 is the first direction. Similarly, the “two limit blocking pieces 220 are arranged at intervals in the third direction” means that when the clamping mechanism 100 is arranged on the guide mechanism 200, the arrangement direction of the two limit blocking pieces 220 is the third direction.

[0075] Matching with the guide mechanism 200, as Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Figures 10 to 13As shown, the clamping mechanism 100 further includes a connecting portion 6000, and the connecting portion 6000 includes a base 6100, a first limiting protrusion 6200, and a second limiting protrusion 6300. The base 6000 is connected to the first clamping block 1000, specifically connected to an end of the first clamping block 1000 away from the third opening. The first limiting protrusion 6200 and the second limiting protrusion 6300 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the base 6100 in the third direction. The first limiting protrusion 6200 and the second limiting protrusion 6300 are used to be arranged in the guide groove 211 of the guide mechanism 200, and cooperate with the two limiting blocking pieces 220 to limit the clamping mechanism 100 on the guide mechanism 200.

[0076] Specifically, the maximum dimension L1 of the guide groove 211 in the third direction is greater than or equal to the maximum width of the connecting portion 6000, and the distance L2 between the two limiting blocks 220 is less than the maximum width of the connecting portion 6000. The width of the connecting portion 6000 is equal to the maximum distance between the first limiting protrusion 6200 and the second limiting protrusion 6300, and the maximum distance between the first limiting protrusion 6200 and the second limiting protrusion 6300 refers to the distance L3 between the surface of the first limiting protrusion 6200 away from the base 6100 and the surface of the second limiting protrusion 6300 away from the base 6100, that is, the width of the connecting portion 6000 is the maximum distance between the first limiting protrusion 6200 and the second limiting protrusion 6300, and refers to the distance L3 between the surfaces of the first limiting protrusion 6200 and the second limiting protrusion 6300 that are away from each other. Therefore, after the first limiting protrusion 6200 and the second limiting protrusion 6300 are inserted into the guide groove 211, the two limiting blocking pieces 220 prevent the two limiting protrusions from being separated from the guide groove 211, thereby preventing the clamping mechanism 100 from being separated from the guide mechanism 200. The method of inserting the two limiting protrusions into the guide groove 211 will be described in detail later.

[0077] Please continue to refer to Figure 8 , Figures 10 to 17, the locking member 5000 includes a pressing block 5100, a first driving portion 5200 and a second elastic member 5300. The pressing block 5100 is movably arranged on the base 6100, and the pressing block 5100 has a locking position and an unlocking position. The first driving portion 5200 is arranged on the base 6100, and is configured to drive the pressing block 5100 to move to the locking position along the positive direction of the second direction. The second elastic member 5300 is arranged between the pressing block 5100 and the base 6000, and is configured to store elastic potential energy when the pressing block 5100 moves along the positive direction of the second direction. The second elastic member 5300 is also configured to drive the pressing block 5100 to move to the unlocking position along the negative direction of the second direction when releasing the elastic potential energy. The second elastic member 5300 is, for example, a spring.

[0078] When the pressing block 5100 is in the locking position, the pressing block 5100 protrudes from the bottom of the base 6000 and can lock the clamping mechanism 100 and the guide mechanism 200. When the pressing block 5100 is in the unlocking position, at the end away from the first clamping block 1000, the pressing block 5100 preferably does not protrude from the bottom of the base 6000, for example, the two are flush.

[0079] Please refer to Fig.13 When the locking member 5000 locks the clamping mechanism 100 and the guide mechanism 200, the pressing block 5100 abuts against the bottom of the guide groove 211, and the first limiting protrusion 6200 abuts against one of the limiting blocking pieces 220, and the second limiting protrusion 6300 abuts against another limiting blocking piece 220. When the locking member 5000 releases the locking between the clamping mechanism 100 and the guide mechanism 200, the connecting portion 6000 is loosely matched with the guide groove 211.

[0080] Here, the limiting block 220 used to abut against the first limiting protrusion 6200 is referred to as the first limiting block 220a (eg, Figure 7 and Fig.13 The limiting block 220 used to abut against the second limiting protrusion 6300 is referred to as the second limiting block 220b (as shown in FIG. Figure 7 and Fig.13To achieve the above purpose, when the end of the first limiting protrusion 6200 away from the first clamping block 1000 is flush with the base 6100, and the end of the second limiting protrusion 6300 away from the first clamping block 1000 is flush with the base 6100, the distance h1 from the first limiting block 220a to the guide groove 221 should be greater than the dimension d1 of the first limiting protrusion 6200 in the second direction, the distance h2 from the second limiting block 220b to the guide groove 221 should be greater than the dimension d2 of the second limiting protrusion 6300 in the second direction, and when the pressing block 5100 is in the locking position, the dimension d3 of the portion of the pressing block 5100 protruding from the base 6100 in the second direction is equal to the difference between the distance h1 from the first limiting block 220a to the guide groove 221 and the dimension d1 of the first limiting protrusion 6200 in the second direction.

[0081] The components of the locking member 5000 and the components and the base 6100 may have any suitable configuration as long as they can achieve the aforementioned functions.

[0082] In a non-limiting embodiment, Figure 8 , Figures 10 to 17 As shown, the first driving part 5200 is located on a side of the pressing block 5100 close to the first clamping block 1000, and the first driving part 5200 is movably connected to the base 6100. The first driving part 5200 is configured to move under the action of an external force, and drive the pressing block 5100 to move in the positive direction of the second direction, or allow the second elastic member 5300 to release elastic potential energy.

[0083] Alternatively, if Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the axis of the first driving part 5200 extends along the third direction, and the first driving part 5200 is configured to be able to rotate around its axis. A driving groove 5201 is provided on the side wall of the first driving part 5200, and the groove wall of the driving groove 5201 contacts the end of the pressing block 5100 close to the first clamping block 1000. The locking member 5000 is configured so that when the pressing block 5100 is located in the unlocking position, the first driving part 5200 can rotate under the action of an external force and drive the pressing block 5100 to move in the positive direction of the second direction. When the pressing block 5100 is located in the locking position, the first driving part 5200 rotates under the action of an external force and causes the second elastic member 5300 to release elastic potential energy.

[0084] Specifically, the driving groove 5201 extends in a circle in the circumferential direction of the first driving part 5200, and the cross section of the first driving part 5200 at the driving groove 5201 (i.e., the cross section perpendicular to the axial direction of the first driving part 5200) is a rectangle, and the long side and the wide side of the rectangle are both edge lines of the driving groove 5201 parallel to the groove wall of the first driving part 5200. When the pressing block 5100 is in the unlocking position, the long side of the rectangle is in a horizontal state. In this case, when the first driving part 5200 rotates under the action of an external force, for example, in the fourth direction, the first driving part 5200 applies a force F to the pressing block 5100 through the groove wall where the long side is located, and the force F has a component force f1 along the positive direction of the second direction. Therefore, the first driving part 5200 can drive the pressing block 5100 to move along the positive direction of the second direction until the pressing block 5100 reaches the locking position. During this process, the long side of the rectangle gradually switches to a vertical state, and the short side of the rectangle gradually switches to a horizontal state, that is, when the pressing block 5100 reaches the locking position, the wide side of the rectangle is in a horizontal state. At the same time, during this process, the pressing block 5100 applies a force to the second elastic member 5300, and causes the second elastic member 5300 to store elastic potential energy. When the pressing block 5100 is in the locking position, when the first driving part 5200 rotates under the action of an external force, for example, in the fifth direction, the first driving part 5200 stops applying a force F to the pressing block 5100, and causes the second elastic member 5300 to release elastic potential energy. The fifth direction is opposite to the fourth direction, that is, one of the fourth direction and the fifth direction is a clockwise direction, and the other is a counterclockwise direction. Of course, since the cross-section of the first driving part 5200 at the driving groove 5201 is rectangular, when the pressure block 5100 is in the locked position, if the first driving part 5200 rotates along the fourth direction under the action of external force, the second elastic member 5300 can also release elastic potential energy.

[0085] In another embodiment, if Fig.11 and Fig.12As shown, a transmission slope 5101 is provided at one end of the pressing block 5100 close to the first clamping block 1000, and the distance from the transmission slope 5101 to the first clamping block 1000 gradually decreases along the positive direction of the third direction. Correspondingly, a driving slope 5202 is provided on the first driving part 5200, and the distance from the driving slope 5202 to the first clamping block 1000 gradually decreases along the positive direction of the third direction, and the driving slope 5202 partially abuts against the transmission slope 5101. The first driving part 5200 is configured to be able to perform reciprocating linear motion relative to the base 6100 along the third direction under the action of an external force. Therefore, when the pressing block 5100 is in the unlocking position, when the first driving part 5200 moves along the positive direction of the third direction under the action of an external force, the first driving part 5200 applies a force to the transmission slope 5101 through the driving slope 5202, and drives the pressing block 5100 to move along the positive direction of the second direction. When the pressing block 5100 is in the locking position, when the first driving part 5200 moves along the negative direction of the third direction under the action of an external force, the first driving part 5200 no longer applies a force to the transmission slope 5101 of the pressing block 5100, so as to allow the second elastic member 5300 to release its elastic potential energy. In this embodiment, Fig.11 and Fig.12 Taking the orientation shown as an example, the positive direction of the third direction is the horizontal right direction, and the negative direction of the third direction is the horizontal left direction. The driving inclined surface 5202 and the transmission inclined surface 5101 are both rough surfaces, and there is an interactive friction force between the two. Therefore, only under the action of external force, the first driving part 5200 can move in the third direction, thereby controlling the movement of the pressing block 5100 in the second direction.

[0086] Optionally, a second accommodating cavity (not marked in the figure) and a third accommodating cavity (not marked in the figure) are provided on the base 6100, the second accommodating cavity extends along the third direction, and the third accommodating cavity extends along the second direction. The first driving part 5200 is partially accommodated in the second accommodating cavity, and the pressing block 5100 is at least partially disposed in the third accommodating cavity.

[0087] In addition, in this embodiment, the third elastic member 5300 may be a spring. Figures 8 to 12As shown, the pressing block 5100 may include a pressing block body 5110 and a stopper 5120 disposed at one end of the pressing block body 5110 away from the first clamping block 1000, and the stopper 5120 extends along the circumference of the pressing block body 5110. There are multiple third elastic members 5300, and the multiple third elastic members 5300 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the pressing block body 5110, and the lower end of each third elastic member 5300 is connected to the stopper 5120, and the upper end is connected to the cavity wall of the third accommodating cavity. When the pressing block 5100 moves in the positive direction of the second direction, the pressing block 5100 applies a tensile force to the third elastic member 5300 so that the third elastic member 5300 is stretched and deformed and stores elastic potential energy. In some alternative embodiments, such as Fig.13 As shown, the stopper 5120 is arranged at one end of the body 5110 close to the first clamping block, so that the lower end of the third elastic member 5300 is connected to the cavity wall of the third accommodating cavity, and the upper end is connected to the stopper 5120. In some other alternative embodiments, the pressing block only includes the body but does not include the stopper, so the number of the third elastic member can be one, and it is sleeved on the body. When the end of the third elastic member close to the first clamping block is connected to the body, and the end of the third elastic member away from the first clamping block is connected to the cavity wall of the third accommodating cavity (not shown in the figure), if the pressing block moves in the positive direction of the second direction, the pressing block applies pressure to the third elastic member to compress and deform the third elastic member and store elastic potential energy. When the end of the third elastic member away from the first clamping block is connected to the main body, and the end of the third elastic member close to the first clamping block is connected to the cavity wall of the third accommodating cavity (not shown in the figure), if the pressure block moves along the positive direction of the second direction, the pressure block applies a pulling force to the third elastic member, causing the third elastic member to stretch and deform and store elastic potential energy.

[0088] Next, an optional implementation method of placing the first limiting protrusion 6200 and the second limiting protrusion 6300 into the guide groove 211 is introduced.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figures 10 to 17The first limiting protrusion 6200 is connected to the base 6100 and remains relatively still with the base 6100, and the second limiting protrusion 6300 can move relative to the base 6100. The clamping mechanism 1000 further includes an adjusting member 7000, which is connected to the second limiting protrusion 6200 and is configured to drive the second limiting protrusion 6300 to move relative to the base 6100 to change the maximum distance between the second limiting protrusion 6300 and the first limiting protrusion 6100, thereby changing the width of the connecting portion 6000. In other words, the width of the connecting portion 6000 is variable, and as mentioned above, the distance L2 between the two limiting baffles 220 of the guiding mechanism 200 is smaller than the maximum width of the connecting portion 6000. Then, when the second limiting protrusion 6300 is driven to move by the adjusting member 7000 to reduce the width of the connecting portion 6000 to less than the distance L2 between the two limiting baffles 220, the first limiting protrusion 6200 and the second limiting protrusion 6300 can be placed in the guiding groove 211, and then the second limiting protrusion 6200 is driven to move by the adjusting member 7000 to increase the width of the connecting portion 6000 and clamp the guiding groove 211.

[0090] Alternatively, if Figure 1 and Figures 10 to 17 As shown, the clamping mechanism 100 further includes a shell 8000, and the shell 8000 wraps a part of the structure of the connecting part 6000. The adjusting member 7000 includes a second driving part 7100 and a third elastic member 7200, and the second driving part 7100 is movably connected to the shell 8000. When the second driving part 7100 moves under the driving of an external force, the second driving part 7100 drives the end of the second limiting protrusion 6300 away from the first limiting protrusion 6200 to move in a direction close to the base 6100, so that the distance between the surface of the second limiting protrusion 6300 away from the base 6100 and the surface of the first limiting protrusion 6200 away from the base 6100 is reduced, and the third elastic member 7200 stores elastic potential energy. When the third elastic member 7200 releases its elastic potential energy, the third elastic member 7200 drives the end of the second limiting protrusion 6300 away from the first limiting protrusion 6200 to move in a direction away from the base 6100 so as to increase the distance between the surface of the second limiting protrusion 6300 away from the base 6100 and the surface of the first limiting protrusion 6200 away from the base 6100, and also drives the second driving part 7100 to move in the opposite direction and reset.

[0091] Alternatively, if Fig.15 and Fig.16As shown, the second limiting protrusion 6300 is movably connected to the base 6100 through the third elastic member 7200. The second driving part 7100 includes a force rod 7110 and a transmission rod 7120 connected at an angle, and the second driving part 7100 is rotatably connected to the housing 8000 through a central shaft 7130 at the junction of the force rod 7110 and the transmission rod 7120, and the transmission rod 7120 is also connected to the second limiting protrusion 6300. Optionally, the central shaft 7130 is rotatably connected to the housing 8000, and the second driving part 7100 and the central shaft 7130 remain relatively stationary. In this way, when the second driving part 7100 rotates around the central axis 7130 along the sixth direction under the action of external force, the second driving part 7100 drives the second limiting protrusion 6300 to rotate around the central axis 7130 along the sixth direction, so that the end of the second limiting protrusion 6300 away from the first limiting protrusion 6200 gradually approaches the base 6100, and the third elastic member 7200 is compressed to store elastic potential energy. When the external force is cancelled, the third elastic member 7000 releases the elastic potential energy and drives the second limiting protrusion 6300 and the second driving part 7100 to rotate around the central axis 7130 along the seventh direction. The seventh direction is opposite to the sixth direction. In practice, one of the seventh direction and the sixth direction is clockwise and the other is counterclockwise. Fig.15 and Fig.16 Taking the shown orientation as an example, the sixth direction is clockwise, and the seventh direction is counterclockwise.

[0092] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 8 , Figures 10 to 12, the second limiting protrusion 6300 is movably connected to the base 6100 through the third elastic member 7200, and the second limiting protrusion 6300 is connected to the second driving part 7100. The second driving part 7100 is slidably connected to the housing 8000, and the second driving part 7100 is configured to be able to move in the third direction relative to the housing 8000 in a direction close to or away from the base 6100. Therefore, when the second driving part 7100 moves in the third direction in a direction close to the base 6100 under the drive of an external force, the second driving part 7100 drives the second limiting protrusion 6300 to move in the third direction in a direction close to the base 6100, and compresses the third elastic member 7200 so that the third elastic member 7200 stores elastic potential energy. When the external force is cancelled, the third elastic member 7200 releases elastic potential energy and pushes the second limiting protrusion 6300 to move in the third direction away from the base 6100 and drives the second driving part 7100 to move in the third direction away from the base 6100.

[0093] In another alternative embodiment, Fig.17As shown, the second limiting projection 6300 is rotatably connected to the housing 8000. The third elastic member 7200 connects the second driving portion 7100 and the second limiting projection 6300. Specifically, the second limiting projection 6300 includes a projection body 6310 and a coupling block 6320 connected at an angle, the coupling block 6320 is arranged at an angle to the projection body 6310, and the third elastic member 7200 connects the second limiting projection 6300 and the coupling block 6320, and the coupling block 6320 is rotatably connected to the housing 8000. The second driving portion 7100 is also rotatably connected to the housing 8000. In an optional implementation, a fixed shaft 9000 is provided on the housing 8000, and the fixed shaft 9000 and the housing 8000 remain relatively stationary. The second driving part 7100 is rotatably sleeved on the fixed shaft 9000, and the engaging block 6320 is also rotatably sleeved on the fixed shaft 9000 (that is, the second driving part 7100 and the engaging block 6320 are both rotatably connected to the housing 8000 through the fixed shaft 9000). In this embodiment, when the second driving part 7100 rotates around the fixed shaft 9000 along the sixth direction under the action of an external force, the second driving part 7100 drives the second limiting protrusion 6300 to rotate around the fixed shaft 9000 along the sixth direction so that the end of the second limiting protrusion 6300 away from the first limiting protrusion 6200 approaches the base 6100, and compresses the third elastic member 7200 to store elastic potential energy. When the external force is cancelled, the third elastic member 7200 releases elastic potential energy and drives the second limiting protrusion 6300 and the second driving part 7100 to rotate along the seventh direction around the fixed axis 9000 until the second limiting protrusion 6300 and the second driving part 7100 are reset.
