[0033] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 2The clamp-type real-time positioning manipulator suitable for spinal surgery includes a quick-change connecting rod 1, which is different from the others in that a support assembly is provided on the quick-change connecting rod 1, and a bone centerline pointer 2 is connected to the support assembly. In this way, while satisfying the support and installation of subsequent components, the virtual centerline positioning of the bone (spinous process) 16 can be achieved. Specifically, in order to effectively clamp the bone during surgery to achieve real-time positioning, a thorn-shaped clip assembly is also connected to the support assembly, including an outer thorn-shaped clip 3 and an inner thorn-shaped clip 4, so as to facilitate all-round contact clamping according to the shape of the bone (spinous process) 16. At the same time, a positioning and adjustment device is provided on the outside of the thorn-shaped clip assembly of the support assembly, which can ensure that the outer thorn-shaped clip 3 and the inner thorn-shaped clip 4 can be clamped with force smoothly. In addition, in order to improve the accuracy of positioning, the support assembly is a pair of support rods 5, and a slot is provided on the inner side of the upper end of the support rod 5, and a bone centerline pointer 2 is provided in the slot. Furthermore, in order to achieve stable clamping and adjustment limit, adaptive limit clamping can be performed according to the current shape of the bone (spinous process) 16. The support rod 5 is distributed with a lateral extension rod 6 outward, and the lateral extension rod 6 passes through the thorn-shaped clip assembly and is connected to the positioning adjustment device.

[0035] In combination with a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the inner thorn-shaped clip 4 and the corresponding outer thorn-shaped clip 3 are stacked and distributed. In this way, the space occupied can be reduced. Of course, for some special applications, a clearance groove can also be provided on the outer thorn-shaped clip 3, so that the inner thorn-shaped clip 4 can be embedded in the clearance groove. The inner thorn-shaped clip 4 and the corresponding outer thorn-shaped clip 3 are provided with a connecting hole, and the transverse extension rod 6 passes through the connecting hole.

[0036] Further, the outer thorn-shaped clip 3 and the inner thorn-shaped clip 4 both include a clip body, and the clip body is provided with a yielding arc. In this way, appropriate yielding can be performed according to the shape of the bone (spinous process) 16, so as to facilitate better clamping. At the same time, in order to achieve effective clamping contact and avoid unnecessary displacement and loosening, the lower end of the clip body is provided with an inwardly distributed spike mechanism. Specifically, the spike mechanism located in the inner thorn-shaped clip 4 is the inner spike 7, and the spike mechanism located in the outer thorn-shaped clip 3 is the outer spike 8. In addition, the position of the inner spike 7 is higher than the outer spike 8, so that effective dislocation clamping can be achieved, and the inner spike 7 and the outer spike 8 can be better clamped and fitted to the bone surface in accordance with the shape of the bone (spinous process) 16.

[0037] In view of the actual implementation, in order to achieve effective storage, the positioning and adjustment device used includes a lower shell 9, and an upper shell 10 is inserted on the lower shell 9. At the same time, in order to effectively apply inward force to the outer thorn-shaped clip 3 and the inner thorn-shaped clip 4 and maintain the stress, an outer spring 11 is provided in the lower shell 9, an inner spring 12 is provided in the upper shell 10, and the outer spring 11 and the inner spring 12 are respectively inserted on the transverse extension rod 6, and an adjustment component 13 is provided outside the upper shell 10. Considering the convenience of subsequent adjustment, the adjustment component 13 is movably connected to the transverse extension rod 6. Considering the convenient adjustment and positioning of the adjustment component 13, the appearance of the transverse extension rod 6 is distributed with adjustment threads, and the adjustment component 13 is an adjustment nut, which is threadedly connected to the transverse extension rod 6. In this way, the elastic stress of the outer spring 11 and the inner spring 12 can be controlled by rotating the adjustment nut.

[0038] In order to know the current horizontality of the manipulator in real time after the subsequent combination with the corresponding manipulator, the quick-change connecting rod 1 is provided with an inclination sensor 14. In this way, the measurement accuracy can be better guaranteed. At the same time, considering the stable installation of the support assembly, a clamping groove is provided on the quick-change connecting rod 1, and the support assembly passes through the clamping groove, and a locking nut 15 is provided at one end of the clamping groove. In this way, a suitable support assembly can be selected according to actual needs, and after installation, it can be locked by the locking nut 15.

[0039] Furthermore, considering the stable positioning of the bone centerline pointer 2, the upper end of the support rod 5 is provided with an outer support arc, and the inner side of the outer support arc is provided with slots. In this way, the bone centerline pointer 2 can be positioned by the slots through interference fit.

[0040] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0041] During use, by adjusting the control of the nut, the outer spring 11 allows the outer spike 8 of the outer spike-shaped clip 3 to clamp the bone (spinous process) 16. At the same time, the inner spring 12 can also allow the inner spike 7 on the inner spike-shaped clip 4 to clamp the bone. In addition, the line connecting the midpoints of the contact points of the outer spike 8, the inner spike 7 and the bone (spinous process) 16 can form a virtual center line. With the cooperation of the clamp-type positioning manipulator, the position of the virtual center line 17 of the bone (spinous process) 16 can be indicated in real time to improve the positioning accuracy.

[0042] It can be seen from the above text description and the accompanying drawings that the following advantages are achieved after adopting the utility model:

[0043] 1. It can be stably combined with the bone (spinous process) and maintain appropriate combination force, and no unnecessary displacement will occur during use.

[0044] 2. Through the existence of the bone centerline pointer, it can cooperate with the clamp-type positioning manipulator to indicate the position of the virtual centerline of the bone (spinous process) in real time, improve the positioning accuracy, and guide subsequent surgical operations.

[0045] 3. The outer thorn-shaped clip and the inner thorn-shaped clip are distributed in a mirror image, which can fit the anatomical curve of the bone (spinous process) and realize real-time positioning of the clip. 4. An optional inclination sensor can be installed to increase the position sensing angle and improve the upper limit of the robot's operation.

[0046] 5. The overall structure is simple, easy to manufacture and use, and can be adapted to a variety of current surgical robots.
