Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical robots, and in particular relates to a positioning arm assembly of a medical robot. Background Art

[0002] A medical robot is an intelligent service robot that can perform medical operations and is widely used in scenarios such as surgery, rehabilitation, and diagnosis and treatment.

[0003] The positioning arm assembly on the medical robot can be connected to the required end effector according to different needs. The end effector can be set in the working position through the positioning arm assembly. The driving motor of the positioning arm assembly will generate heat when working. If the heat generated by the motor is transmitted to the part of the positioning arm that contacts the patient (such as the end of the robotic arm or the parts close to the patient's body surface), it may cause the local tissue temperature to rise, causing burns or thermal damage, especially in long-term surgery. The risk is higher; such as heart surgery or certain neurosurgery operations require the patient to maintain a low temperature, the heat dissipation of the equipment may interfere with body temperature management, and poor heat dissipation may cause the surface temperature of the equipment to rise, and the operator may be distracted or restricted in operation when in contact. Therefore, the positioning arm assemblies on existing medical robots mostly use human-driven positioning arm assembly posture adjustment.

[0004] While existing medical robot positioning arm assemblies use manual control to adjust their posture, which can prevent heat generation during operation and potentially affect surgery, these adjustments often require precise operation and complex setup. Manual adjustment is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but can also lead to inaccurate positioning due to improper operation, increasing surgical risks. Furthermore, limited accuracy is a significant issue. Manual adjustment can prolong surgical preparation time, reduce operating room utilization, and increase hospital operating costs.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The driving mechanism drives the swing arm 1 to rotate relative to the mounting column, the connecting column to rotate relative to the swing arm 1, the rotating column to rotate relative to the swing arm 2, and the rotating arm to rotate relative to the rotating column. The end effector fully adjusts the working posture of the end effector to facilitate the operation of the end effector;

[0016] 2. The blower blows air into one of the pipes, and the outside air enters air circuit housing 1 and air circuit housing 2 through one of the connecting pipes. The air in air circuit housing 2 enters swing arm 2 and swing arm 1 through the heat dissipation vents. The air in swing arm 1 is discharged through the other connecting pipe and another pipe. The ends of the two pipes and the blower are far away from the end effector working area, thereby dissipating the heat generated by the drive mechanism and away from the surgical site, preventing the heat generated by the positioning arm assembly drive components from affecting the surgical process;

[0017] 3. The circuit is set inside the second swing arm, the connecting column and the first swing arm. The heat generated by the circuit can be discharged through the connecting pipe and pipeline, avoiding the influence of the heat generated by the circuit on the operation. In addition, the circuit is stored inside the second swing arm, the connecting column and the first swing arm, which can improve the aesthetics of the positioning arm and make the positioning arm more neat.

[0018] 4. When the posture of the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot needs to be manually changed, the valve on the air outlet connecting pipe is closed, the pressure inside the swing arm 1 and the swing arm 2 increases, the concave guide block drives the connecting block to disengage the connecting groove, and the fixed ring is slidably connected with the outer gear ring. When the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot is manually driven to change its posture, the rotating end of the motor will not rotate accordingly. Therefore, when the posture of the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot is manually adjusted to change, the force of manually adjusting the posture of the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot is reduced, thereby facilitating manual adjustment of the posture of the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot;

[0019] 5. After the posture of the positioning arm assembly is adjusted, the electromagnet is powered off, and the second compression spring pushes the friction block to move, so that the friction block rests on the side wall of the friction ring, thereby hindering the rotation of the friction ring through friction force, and thus hindering the posture change of the positioning arm assembly, avoiding the posture change of the positioning arm assembly due to accidental contact or power failure after the posture change of the positioning arm assembly.

The connecting column 103 is hollow in the middle, and the two ends of the connecting column 103 pass through the air circuit housing 107 and the air circuit housing 2 108 respectively. At least one concave pipeline 110 is provided on the side wall of the connecting column 103, one end of the concave pipeline 110 extends into the air circuit housing 107, and the other end of the concave pipeline 110 extends into the air circuit housing 2 108. Two connecting pipes 111 are installed on the side of the swing arm 102 close to the mounting column 101, one of the connecting pipes 111 extends into the air circuit housing 107, and both connecting pipes 111 are connected to pipelines, and one of the pipelines is connected to a blower; it also includes a driving mechanism, which is used to drive the swing arm 102 to rotate relative to the mounting column 101, the connecting column 103 to rotate relative to the swing arm 102, the rotating column 105 to rotate relative to the swing arm 2 104, and the rotating bent arm 106 to rotate relative to the rotating column 105.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present invention, when in use, the lifting portion of the medical robot adjusts the height of the movable swing arm 102 to adjust the height of the end effector. The driving mechanism drives the swing arm 102 to rotate relative to the mounting column 101, and drives the connecting column 103 to rotate relative to the swing arm 102 to adjust the horizontal position of the end effector. The driving mechanism drives the rotating column 105 to rotate relative to the swing arm 2 104 to adjust the horizontal angle of the end effector. The driving mechanism drives the rotating bending arm 106 to rotate relative to the rotating column 105 to adjust the tilt angle of the end effector, thereby adjusting the working posture of the end effector in all directions.

[0045] The blower blows air into one of the pipes, and the outside air enters the air circuit housing 107 from one of the connecting pipes 111. The air in the air circuit housing 107 enters the air circuit housing 2 108 through the concave pipe 110. The air in the air circuit housing 2 108 enters the end of the swing arm 2 104 away from the connecting column 103 through the heat dissipation port 109. The air in the swing arm 2 104 flows toward the connecting column 103 and enters the swing arm 1 102 through the through hole in the middle of the connecting column 103. The air in the swing arm 102 is discharged from the other connecting pipe 111 and the other pipe. The ends of the two pipes and the blower are away from the working site of the end effector, thereby discharging the heat generated by the drive mechanism and away from the operating site, so as to avoid the heat generated by the driving components of the positioning arm assembly affecting the progress of the operation. Both the swing arm 102 and the swing arm 2 104 are provided with a sound insulation layer to reduce the noise impact generated by the drive components. The drive mechanism is installed in the swing arm 102 or the swing arm 2 104.

The line connected to the aviation socket 112 is housed in the second swing arm 104, the connecting column 103 and the first swing arm 102. A cable sealing connector is installed on the first swing arm 102 to facilitate pulling out the line.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present invention, the circuit is set in the swing arm 2 104, the connecting column 103 and the swing arm 1 102, so that the heat generated by the circuit can be discharged through the connecting tube 111 and the pipeline, avoiding the influence of the heat generated by the circuit on the operation. In addition, the circuit is stored inside the swing arm 2 104, the connecting column 103 and the swing arm 1 102, which can improve the aesthetics of the positioning arm and make the positioning arm more tidy.

[0048] like Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the driving mechanism includes a driving shaft 201 rotatably connected in the rotating column 105, an avoidance groove is provided in the rotating column 105, and the rotating bent arm 106 extends into the avoidance groove at one end and is fixed with a bevel gear 203, and the driving shaft 201 extends into the avoidance groove at one end and is fixed with a bevel gear 1 202, the bevel gear 1 202 is meshed with the bevel gear 2 203, and the driving shaft 201 extends into the air circuit housing 2 108 at one end and is fixed with a disc-shaped frame 204, two rotating structures 3 are provided in the swing arm 102, and two rotating structures 3 are provided in the swing arm 2 104, and the four two rotating structures 3 are respectively used for the rotation of the swing arm 102 relative to the mounting column 101, the rotation of the connecting column 103 relative to the swing arm 102, the rotation of the rotating column 105 relative to the swing arm 2 104 and the rotation of the disc-shaped frame 204 relative to the rotating column 105.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the two rotating structures 3 drive the swing arm 102 to rotate relative to the mounting column 101 and the connecting column 103 to rotate relative to the swing arm 102, the horizontal position of the end effector can be adjusted. When the rotating structure 3 drives the rotating column 105 to rotate relative to the swing arm 2 104, the horizontal angle of the end effector can be adjusted. When the rotating structure 3 drives the disc-shaped frame 204 to rotate relative to the rotating column 105, the disc-shaped frame 204 drives the drive shaft 201 to rotate, the drive shaft 201 drives the bevel gear 1 202 to rotate, the bevel gear 1 202 drives the bevel gear 2 203 to rotate, and the bevel gear 203 drives the rotating bending arm 106 to rotate, so as to adjust the tilt angle of the end effector, thereby adjusting the working posture of the end effector in all directions.

[0050] like Figure 2-Figure 9 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rotating structure 3 includes a motor 301 and a fixed ring 303. A gear 302 is fixed to the rotating end of the motor 301. The fixed ring 303 is fixed on the mounting column 101, the connecting column 103, the rotating column 105 or the disc-shaped frame 204. The side wall of the fixed ring 303 is connected to an outer gear ring 304 through a pressure connection component 4, and the outer gear ring 304 is engaged with the gear 302.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first and second motors 301 are fixed to the inner wall of the swing arm 102. When the first motor 301 drives the gear 302 to rotate, the gear 302 drives the outer gear ring 304 to rotate, and the outer gear ring 304 drives the fixed ring 303. The fixed ring 303 can drive the swing arm 102 to rotate relative to the mounting column 101. When the second motor 301 drives the gear 302 to rotate, the gear 302 drives the outer gear ring 304 to rotate, and the outer gear ring 304 drives the fixed ring 303. The fixed ring 303 can drive the connecting column 103 to rotate relative to the swing arm 102. The third motor 301 is fixed to the inner wall of the swing arm 2 104. When the third motor 301 drives the gear 302 to rotate, the gear 302 drives the outer gear ring 304. Rotate, the outer gear ring 304 drives the fixed ring 303, and the fixed ring 303 can drive the rotating column 105 to rotate relative to the swing arm 2 104. The fourth motor 301 is fixed on the air circuit housing 2 108. When the fourth motor 301 drives the gear 302 to rotate, the gear 302 drives the outer gear ring 304 to rotate, and the outer gear ring 304 drives the fixed ring 303. The fixed ring 303 can drive the disc frame 204 to rotate relative to the rotating column 105. The disc frame 204 drives the drive shaft 201 to rotate, and the drive shaft 201 drives the bevel gear 1 202 to rotate, and the bevel gear 1 202 drives the bevel gear 2 203 to rotate, and the bevel gear 203 drives the rotating bending arm 106 to rotate, which can adjust the tilt angle of the end effector, and thus adjust the working posture of the end effector in all directions.

[0052] like Figure 1、 Figure 2 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 、 Figure 14 、 Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pressure connection assembly 4 includes a connection groove 401 provided on the inner wall of the outer gear ring 304, and a mounting block 1 402 fixed in the fixed ring 303, wherein the mounting block 1 402 is horizontally slidably connected with a concave guide block 403, and one end of the concave guide block 403 is fixed with a connection block 404, and the connection block 404 cooperates with the connection groove 401, and a valve is installed on the connecting pipe 111, and a pneumatic drive component 5 is provided in the fixed ring 303, and the pneumatic drive component 5 controls the connection block 404 to cooperate with the connection groove 401 through the pressure change in the swing arm 102 and the swing arm 2 104, and the pneumatic drive component 5 includes a fixed ring 303 provided in the fixed ring 303. The annular piston groove 501, the mounting block 402 is fixed in the annular piston groove 501, one end of the annular piston groove 501 is open, the annular piston 502 is slidably connected in the annular piston groove 501, the annular piston 502 is connected to a connecting frame 503, the connecting frame 503 is provided with an oblique push groove 505, the end of the connecting frame 503 is fixed with a compression spring 504, the end of the compression spring 504 is fixed in the annular piston groove 501, the mounting block 402 is provided with a through groove 507, the connecting frame 503 penetrates the through groove 507, and a transmission slide shaft 506 is fixed on the inner wall of the concave guide block 403, and the transmission slide shaft 506 is slidably connected in the oblique push groove 505.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present invention, the electromagnetic radiation generated by the medical robot during surgery may also interfere with surrounding electronic equipment and even affect the normal operation of electronic equipment in the operating room. Therefore, according to different usage scenarios, the positioning arm assembly needs to be able to switch between manual drive and electric drive;

[0054] When the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot is electrically changed in posture, the valve on the connecting pipe 111 is in the open state, the air pressure in the swing arm 102 and the swing arm 2 104 is constant, the compression spring 1 504 pushes the connecting frame 503, and the connecting frame 503 drives the annular piston 502 to approach the open end of the annular piston groove 501. The concave guide block 403 drives the connecting block 404 to be inserted into the connecting groove 401. At this time, the fixing ring 303 is fixedly connected to the outer gear ring 304, and the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot is in the state driven by the motor 301;

[0055] When the posture of the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot needs to be manually changed, the rotating end of the motor 301 will also rotate. When the rotating end of the motor 301 rotates passively, there is resistance, which increases the force required to manually change the posture of the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot. Therefore, it is inconvenient to manually change the posture of the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot.

[0056] When the posture of the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot is manually changed, the valve on the air outlet connecting pipe 111 is closed, so that the gas in the swing arm 102 and the swing arm 2 104 cannot be discharged, the pressure in the swing arm 102 and the swing arm 2 104 increases, and a pressure difference is generated inside and outside the annular piston groove 501. The high pressure in the swing arm 102 and the swing arm 2 104 overcomes the elastic force of the compression spring 1 504 and pushes the annular piston 502 to slide inside the annular piston groove 501. The air in the annular piston groove 501 is compressed, and the annular piston 502 drives the connecting frame 503 to move, and the inclined push groove 503 on the connecting frame 503 is pressed. 05 drives the transmission slide shaft 506 to move, the transmission slide shaft 506 drives the concave guide block 403 to move, the concave guide block 403 drives the connecting block 404 to disengage from the connecting groove 401, and the fixing ring 303 is slidingly connected with the outer gear ring 304. When the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot is manually driven to change its posture, the rotating end of the motor 301 will not rotate accordingly, and thus when the posture of the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot is manually adjusted to change, the force of manually adjusting the posture of the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot is reduced, thereby facilitating manual adjustment of the posture of the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot.

[0057] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 17As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, two electromagnetic limit assemblies 6 are provided on the gas circuit housing 107, an electromagnetic limit assembly 6 is provided on the gas circuit housing 2 108, and an electromagnetic limit assembly 6 is provided in the swing arm 2 104. The four electromagnetic limit assemblies 6 respectively limit the rotation of the swing arm 102 relative to the mounting column 101, the rotation of the connecting column 103 relative to the swing arm 102, the rotation of the rotating column 105 relative to the swing arm 2 104, and the rotation of the rotating bent arm 106 relative to the rotating column 105 through friction force. The electromagnetic limit assembly 6 includes a friction ring 601 and a mounting block 2 602. The friction ring 601 is fixed on The second mounting block 602 is mounted on the mounting column 101, the connecting column 103, the rotating column 105 or the disc-shaped frame 204, and is fixed on the air circuit housing 1 107, the air circuit housing 2 108 or the swing arm 2 104. A guide groove 603 is provided in the second mounting block 602, and a friction block 604 is slidably connected in the guide groove 603. One end of the friction block 604 passes through the second mounting block 602 and cooperates with the friction ring 601. The other end of the friction block 604 is fixed with a second compression spring 605 and an armature 607. The end of the second compression spring 605 is fixed in the guide groove 603. An electromagnet 606 is fixed to the end of the second mounting block 602 away from the friction ring 601.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present invention, before the positioning arm assembly posture is adjusted, the electromagnet 606 is energized, and the electromagnet 606 drives the armature 607 to move through the magnetic force. The armature 607 overcomes the elastic force of the second compression spring 605 and drives the friction block 604 away from the friction ring 601.

[0059] After the posture of the positioning arm assembly is adjusted, the electromagnet 606 is powered off, and the compression spring 2 605 pushes the friction block 604 to move, so that the friction block 604 rests on the side wall of the friction ring 601, and then hinders the rotation of the friction ring 601 through friction force, thereby hindering the posture change of the positioning arm assembly, avoiding the posture change of the positioning arm assembly due to accidental contact or power failure after the posture change of the positioning arm assembly.

[0060] The above embodiment of the present invention provides a positioning arm assembly of a medical robot. When in use, the blower blows air into one of the pipelines, and the outside air enters the air circuit housing 1 107 from one of the connecting pipes 111. The air in the air circuit housing 1 107 enters the air circuit housing 2 108 through the concave pipeline 110. The air in the air circuit housing 2 108 enters the end of the swing arm 2 104 away from the connecting column 103 through the heat dissipation port 109. The air in the swing arm 2 104 flows toward the connecting column 103 and enters the swing arm 1 102 through the through hole in the middle of the connecting column 103. The air in the swing arm 102 is discharged from the other connecting pipe 111 and the other pipeline. The ends of the two pipelines and the blower are away from the working site of the end effector, thereby discharging the heat generated by the motor 301 and the circuit in the swing arm 102 and the swing arm 2 104 away from the operating site, thereby preventing the heat generated by the motor 301 and the circuit from affecting the progress of the operation.

[0061] When adjusting the posture of the positioning arm assembly, the electromagnet 606 is energized, and the electromagnet 606 drives the armature 607 to move through the magnetic force. The armature 607 overcomes the elastic force of the second compression spring 605 and drives the friction block 604 away from the friction ring 601;

[0062] When the positioning arm assembly is adjusted in posture by the motor 301, the valve on the connecting pipe 111 is in the open state, the air pressure in the swing arm 102 and the swing arm 2 104 is constant, the compression spring 1 504 pushes the connecting frame 503, and the connecting frame 503 drives the annular piston 502 to approach the open end of the annular piston groove 501. The concave guide block 403 drives the connecting block 404 to be inserted into the connecting groove 401. At this time, the fixing ring 303 is fixedly connected to the outer gear ring 304, and the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot is in the state driven by the motor 301;

[0063] When it is necessary to manually change the posture of the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot, the valve on the air outlet connecting pipe 111 is closed, so that the gas in the swing arm 102 and the swing arm 2 104 cannot be discharged, the pressure in the swing arm 102 and the swing arm 2 104 increases, and a pressure difference is generated inside and outside the annular piston groove 501. The high pressure in the swing arm 102 and the swing arm 2 104 overcomes the elastic force of the compression spring 1 504 and pushes the annular piston 502 to slide inside the annular piston groove 501. The air in the annular piston groove 501 is compressed, and the annular piston 502 drives the connecting frame 503 to move, and the oblique push groove on the connecting frame 503 505 drives the transmission slide shaft 506 to move, the transmission slide shaft 506 drives the concave guide block 403 to move, the concave guide block 403 drives the connecting block 404 to disengage from the connecting groove 401, and the fixing ring 303 is slidingly connected to the outer gear ring 304. When the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot is manually driven to change its posture, the rotating end of the motor 301 will not rotate accordingly, and thus when the posture of the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot is manually adjusted to change, the force of manually adjusting the posture of the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot is reduced, thereby facilitating manual adjustment of the posture of the positioning arm assembly of the medical robot.

[0064] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
