Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of surgical robot technology, and more particularly to a handheld release forceps with multi-degree-of-freedom adjustable angle stiffness for arthroscopic surgery. Background Technology

[0002] Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique widely used in orthopedics, such as hip labral repair, knee meniscus resection, and ligament reconstruction. Guided by arthroscopic instruments, arthroscopic surgery allows for complex diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to be performed through extremely small incisions. With the increasing demand for minimally invasive surgery, the design and optimization of arthroscopic surgical instruments have become crucial for improving surgical efficiency and safety.

[0003] Currently, most surgical tools used in arthroscopic surgery, including release forceps, are rigid straight-bar types. Their structure typically includes a handle, a transmission rod, and end-operating jaws. This design ensures rigid transmission while stably performing soft tissue grasping, cutting, and release operations. However, due to the limitations of the rigid structure, their flexibility is poor, especially when dealing with the complex anatomy of the joint cavity. Traditional release forceps often struggle to reach blind spots, limiting the scope of surgical manipulation and increasing the difficulty and time required for the procedure.

[0004] To address the lack of flexibility in rigid instruments, some improved release forceps have recently incorporated angle adjustment capabilities. For example, adding a single-degree-of-freedom joint at the end allows the jaws to rotate within a certain range. This improved design enhances the instrument's flexibility, enabling it to adapt to more complex joint cavity structures. However, this single-degree-of-freedom adjustment design still faces the following limitations in practical applications: First, the adjustment angle range is relatively small, preventing multi-directional manipulation; second, the lack of a rigid fixation mechanism during surgery means the instrument may loosen or shift during operation, affecting the precision of the procedure.

[0005] Beyond improvements to traditional rigid instruments, continuous robotic technology has demonstrated immense potential in endoscopic surgery in recent years. These robots employ flexible, rigid, or hybrid structures, achieving complex path bending and precise positioning through multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment. The rigid joint design and actuation methods of continuous robots are continuously expanding their application range in minimally invasive surgery. However, existing continuous robot structures are primarily used for soft tissue surgeries such as those in the digestive tract or sinuses, and have not yet been specifically optimized for arthroscopic surgery. In arthroscopic surgery, instruments require high rigidity to perform release operations, while also needing to flexibly adjust angles within confined anatomical spaces, placing higher demands on the balance between rigidity and flexibility in continuous robots.

[0006] To address this, a handheld release forceps with manually adjustable bending angle and fixed stiffness is proposed for use in arthroscopic surgery. Summary of the Invention

[0056] Further optimization of the scheme: the variable stiffness control mechanism includes a button 6, which has a T-shaped structure; a pre-drilled hole 27 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1, through which the bottom of the button 6 extends out of the housing 1 and is slidably disposed within the pre-drilled hole 27; a clamping baffle 7 is fixedly connected to the top inner side of the housing 1, and the top of the button 6 is located on the side of the clamping baffle 7 near the continuous section 9, and the top of the button 6 is in a limiting fit with the clamping baffle 7; a spring 8 is sleeved on the end of the button 6 near the pre-drilled hole 21, and a boss 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the housing 1, located on the side of the clamping baffle 7 away from the continuous section 9, and the two ends of the spring 8 abut against the boss 26 and the clamping baffle 7 respectively; both gear 13 and transmission gear 4 are limited by the button 6.

[0057] The design has been further optimized so that the end of button 6 near the pre-reserved hole 21 is a tapered notch.

[0058] The design is further optimized. The loosening clamp includes an upper clamp 19 and a lower clamp 20. The lower clamp 20 is rotatably connected to the distal sleeve 11 via a pin 10.

[0061] In a further optimized design, a pre-reserved hole 31 is provided at one end of the outer shell 1 near the continuous segment 9. The continuous segment 9 is installed on the outer shell 1 through the pre-reserved hole 31, and the outer shell 1 is connected to the continuous segment 9 through the pre-reserved hole 31.

[0062] The handheld release forceps with multi-degree-of-freedom adjustable angle stiffness for arthroscopic surgery provided by this invention are used as follows:

[0063] Specific steps for adjusting the left and right sides:

[0064] The left and right bending drive wire 14 is tightly fitted onto the top knob 12 and the distal sleeve 11. Therefore, when the top knob 12 is rotated, the left and right length of the left and right bending drive wire 14 will change under the action of friction. For example, when the top knob 12 is rotated counterclockwise, the left and right bending drive wire 14 passing through the left side of the continuous segment 9 will be more bypassed by the top knob 12 and brought to the right side, thereby causing the continuous segment 9 to bend to the left; this also conforms to the human operating logic.

[0065] Specific steps for adjusting the upper and lower sides:

[0066] The up-and-down bending drive wire 5 is tightly fitted onto the gear shaft 3 and the distal sleeve 11. Therefore, when the rear knob 2 is rotated, the rear knob 2 drives the transmission gear 4 to rotate. Under the action of friction, the up-and-down length of the up-and-down bending drive wire 5 will change. For example, when the rear knob 2 is rotated upward, the up-and-down bending drive wire 5 passing through the upper side of the continuous segment 9 will be brought to the lower side more around the gear shaft 3, thereby causing the continuous segment 9 to bend upward; this also conforms to the human operating logic.

[0067] The specific operation of variable stiffness:

[0068] Button 6 locks the rotation of transmission gears 4 and 13, thus locking the overall structural rigidity and preventing bending. When adjusting the bending angle of continuous segment 9, push button 6 forward with your thumb. Spring 8 is then blocked by the clamping baffle 7, causing it to press firmly. The distal tapered structure of button 6 disengages from the teeth of transmission gears 4 and 13, allowing the rear knob 2 and top knob 12 to rotate, thus adjusting the bending angle of continuous segment 9. After adjusting the angle, release button 6. Under the action of spring 8, the distal tapered structure of button 6 is pushed into the teeth of transmission gears 4 and 13, locking them simultaneously and locking the bending angle, thus achieving the functions of angle adjustment and variable stiffness.

[0069] Specific steps for opening and closing the jaws of the loosening pliers:

[0070] The release pliers drive wire 17 passes through the center of the continuous segment 9 and is fixed at the distal pin 18. Pin 18 is coaxially fixed with the upper pliers 19, the lower pliers 20 itself does not move, and the rear handle 15 is fixed and does not move. Therefore, when the pin 18 is pulled and rotated by the front handle 16 and the release pliers drive wire 17, the upper pliers 19 will also rotate around the pin 18, thereby achieving the purpose of opening and closing.

[0071] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
