The connecting rod 5 has a telescopic function, and its structure is the same as that of the lifting structure 2.

[0028] When in use, the device is fixedly mounted on one side of the operating table by the mounting seat 1, and the thoracoscopic lens is fixedly mounted on the lens bracket 15. The position of the top thoracoscopic lens is changed by adjusting the lifting structure 2, and the direction and position of the lens are changed according to the needs of the surgical procedure by the middle rotating joint 1 4, rotating joint 2 6, rotating seat 1 3, rotating seat 2 7 and the movable connection structure. The rotating seat 1 3 and the rotating seat 2 7 are rotating seats on the horizontal plane. The rotation of the rotating seat 1 3 can drive the various positions above it to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating seat 2 7 can drive the various positions above it to rotate. Through the rotating seat 1 3, rotating joint 1 4, rotating joint 2 6, rotating seat 2 7 and the movable connection structure, the adjustment direction and adjustment range of the device are larger and more flexible. The lens bracket 15 can be rotated to change the direction of the thoracoscopic lens through the adjustment mechanism, so that it can be more suitable for the complex environment during the surgical procedure.

[0029] The rotating joint 26 and the rotating joint 14 both include a transversely arranged rotating shaft 26 and a U-shaped swivel 27 rotatably connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft 26. The two ends of the U-shaped swivel 27 are provided with limit screws 17 connected to the rotating shaft 26. After the positions of the rotating joint 26 and the rotating joint 14 are adjusted, the limit screws 17 are used to limit and lock the rotating joint 26 and the rotating joint 14 to prevent the rotating joint 26 and the rotating joint 14 from rotating unexpectedly.

[0032] The lifting structure 2 includes a hollow lifting cylinder 201, a lifting column 202 is provided inside the lifting cylinder 201, and limiting holes 203 are provided at intervals on the sides of the lifting column 202. A limiting screw 18 is provided on the side of the lifting cylinder 201. The limiting screw 18 is adjusted to be inserted into the limiting hole 203, and the position of the adjusted lifting column 202 is fixed.

[0033] The adjustment mechanism includes a support frame 13 and a rotating seat 3 12; the cross section of the support frame 13 is U-shaped, and the support frame 13 is mounted upside down on the top of the support platform 11, and the rotating seat 3 12 is arranged at the middle of the top of the support platform 11, and a rotating column 21 is arranged on the top of the rotating seat 3 12 for rotational connection, and the top end of the rotating column 21 penetrates the support frame 13 and is connected to the lens bracket 15. The rotating column 21 is located below the support frame 13 and is provided with a gear 14, and a rotationally connected adjustment bolt 25 is arranged between the support frame 13, and one end of the adjustment bolt 25 penetrates the support frame 13 and is provided with an adjustment handle 23. By rotating the adjustment handle 23, the adjustment bolt 25 is rotated to drive the meshing gear 14 to rotate, so that the rotation column 21 rotates to drive the lens bracket 15 on the top to rotate, so as to adjust the direction of the lens.

[0034] The lens bracket 15 is U-shaped, and one end of the lens bracket 15 is provided with a through-fastening screw 16, the end of the fastening screw 16 is provided with a pad 1 22, and the inner side of the other end of the lens bracket 15 is provided with a pad 2 24. The thoracoscopic lens is placed in the middle of the lens bracket 15, and then the fastening screw 16 is turned to complete the installation and fixation of the thoracoscopic lens. The installation is carried out by fastening the screw 16, which is convenient for installing and removing the lens, and can be adapted to thoracoscopic lenses of different diameters. The pad 1 22 and the pad 2 24 are rubber pads or soft pads, which can effectively fix the thoracoscopic lens to prevent it from slipping and avoid damage to the lens.

[0035] Working principle: The thoracoscopic lens auxiliary support platform of the present invention is fixedly installed at a suitable position on one side of the operating table through the mounting seat 1 when in use, ensuring that the platform will not be displaced during the operation. Place the thoracoscopic lens in the middle of the lens bracket 15, and then turn the fastening screw 16 to complete the installation and fixation of the thoracoscopic lens.
