[0048] Unless otherwise specified, all technical features and optional technical features of the utility model can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.

[0049] If there is no special explanation, the words "include" and "comprise" mentioned in the present invention may be open or closed. For example, "include" and "comprises" may mean that other components not listed may also be included or only the listed components may be included.

[0050] If not otherwise specified, in the present invention, the term "or" is inclusive. For example, the phrase "A or B" means "A, B, or both A and B". More specifically, any of the following conditions satisfies the condition "A or B": A is true (or exists) and B is false (or does not exist); A is false (or does not exist) and B is true (or exists); or both A and B are true (or exist).

[0051] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the following will be further described in detail with reference to the embodiments and drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means a limitation on the utility model and its application. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0052] The structures of related surgical robots usually consist of two types: a rigid skeleton based on a rigid hinge shell structure and a flexible skeleton based on a flexible unit. The rigid skeleton has good axial stiffness, but lacks flexibility and does not have automatic recovery capabilities. Each degree of freedom needs to be controlled separately, and a large number of drives are required. When driven by a rope, the flexible part of the flexible skeleton structure produces elastic deformation, causing the arm to bend. It has the advantages of simple structure, small size, high flexibility, and safe use. However, due to the existence of the flexible structure, the end operating force is low. When the robot contacts human tissue, it is easy to deviate, resulting in poor surgical results. The torsional deformation caused by the flexible structure is difficult to model, affecting the control accuracy. At the same time, for the rope-driven structure, when the rope is loose in the initial state, it will also greatly affect the control accuracy.

[0053] Combined with Figure 1 As shown, a surgical robot according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a driving mechanism, a guiding mechanism, a mechanical arm and a terminal surgical forceps, wherein the mechanical arm includes a solid arm and a flexible arm disposed at one end of the solid arm. The driving mechanism, the guiding mechanism, the mechanical arm and the terminal surgical forceps will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific views.

[0054] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the driving structure includes a linear module 1, on which a support frame 2 is fixedly mounted, on both sides of which a motor fixing plate 3 and a guide plate 4 are fixedly mounted, on which seven DC motors 501 are fixedly mounted, and on the output shafts of the seven DC motors 501, one end of a lead screw 502 is coaxially fixedly mounted, on which a slide 503 is rotatably mounted, a chuck 504 is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the slide 503, a linear bearing is embedded in the lower part of the slide 503, and a linear optical axis 505 is coaxially mounted in the linear bearing, and the other ends of the lead screw 502 and the linear optical axis 505 are both embedded in the guide plate 4. When the linear module 1 is driven, feeding freedom can be provided to the surgical robot, and when the DC motor is driven, feeding freedom can be provided to the surgical robot. 501, there are two support frames 2, a Hall encoder is installed at the end of the DC motor 501, a countersunk hole is opened in the guide plate 4 and a bearing is embedded and installed, the lead screw 502 is embedded in the inner ring of the guide plate 4 bearing, and the lead screw 502 is driven by the rotation of the DC motor 501, and the other end of the lead screw 502 is installed on the bearing, which ensures the stable rotation of the lead screw 502, and the slide 503 is connected to the lead screw 502 by a thread, so the slide 503 rotates, and because a linear optical axis 505 is installed below the slide 503, the slide 503 performs a linear feed motion, and the feedback of the DC motor 501 is used to perform closed-loop control on the motor, effectively improving the displacement accuracy of the control slide 503, so that the end position control accuracy is higher. The above is only a specific embodiment provided by the utility model. In other embodiments, the number of DC motors 501 can also be other numbers, and the DC motor 501 can also be replaced by other motors. The utility model does not specifically limit the motor type. The number of support frames 1 can also be more than three, and the utility model does not limit the number of support frames 1. The driving mechanism of the embodiment of the utility model is used to drive the mechanical arm to control the operation of the terminal surgical forceps.

[0055] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the guide mechanism includes a guide plate 4, a rope 6, a pre-tightening nut 7, a sleeve 8, a support frame 9, a fixed plate 10, the end of the rope 6 is fixedly installed in the chuck 504, a threaded hole is opened on the guide plate 4, and a pre-tightening nut 7 is installed in the threaded hole, the countersunk hole of the pre-tightening nut 7 is embedded with the input end of the sleeve 8, the guide plate 4 is fixedly installed with the fixed plate 10 through the support frame 9, a countersunk hole is opened on the inner side of the fixed plate 10, and the output ends of the six circumferential sleeves 8 are embedded in the countersunk holes of the fixed plate 10, and a round tube 11 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the fixed plate 10, the chuck 504 nut and the hollow sleeve structure, the rope passing through the hollow sleeve is compressed by tightening the nut to complete the fixation of the rope end, a slotted through hole is opened in the pre-tightening nut 7 so that the rope can pass through the pre-tightening nut 7, the six circumferential sleeves 8 are used for driving the flexible arm, and the chuck is used to fix the rope end. 504 can fix one end of the rope, and the chuck 504 is fixedly mounted on the slide 503, so when the slide 503 can pull the rope 6 to move backward; in the initial state, the slide 503 is located in the middle position of the screw stroke. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the tension on the rope 6 at the beginning. By rotating the pre-tightening nut 7, the pre-tightening nut 7 is engaged with the thread in the guide disk 4, and the head of the pre-tightening nut 7 is away from the guide disk 4. Since the sleeve 8 is embedded in the head of the pre-tightening nut 7, the input end of the sleeve 8 is also away from the guide disk 4. Since the length of the sleeve 8 remains unchanged and the curvature increases, the rope 6 is tightened to complete the adjustment of the tension on the rope 6. Effective pre-tightening can prevent the control error caused by the slack displacement of the rope 6 under the condition of precise displacement of the given slide 503. Compared with the pulley guide device, the utility model adopts the sleeve 8 as the guide device of the rope 6, which greatly reduces the complexity of the structure. The utility model adopts a driving method of combining a lead screw 502 with a guide shaft, with high transmission accuracy, and each rope 6 is driven by a separate motor. When the rope 6 is stretched by external factors such as friction, corresponding compensation control can be performed, which can effectively improve the control accuracy of the terminal surgical forceps.

[0056] Combination Figures 4 to 16The robot arm includes a solid arm and a flexible arm, the solid arm includes a round tube 11, the flexible arm is arranged at one end of the solid arm, the flexible arm includes a single-degree-of-freedom section 1211, a double-degree-of-freedom section 1221, a flexible rod 1231, and a connecting block 1241. The flexible rod 1231 is fixedly installed on the top of the round tube 11, the single-degree-of-freedom section 1211 is composed of a plurality of rigid shells 1212 connected in series, a symmetrical rotation groove 1213 is provided at the upper end of the rigid shell 1212, a groove 1214 is provided below the rotation groove 1213, an inner ring 1215 is provided below the groove 1214, an embedded groove 1216 is provided through the end surface of the rigid shell 1212, a symmetrical arc hinge 1217 is provided at the bottom of the rigid shell 1212, and the arc Hinge 1217 and rotation groove 1213 are aligned in the axial direction of rigid shell 1212, double degree of freedom section 1221 is composed of rigid shell 2 1222 connected in series, symmetrical rotation groove 1223 is provided on the upper part of rigid shell 1222, symmetrical circular arc hinge 1224 is provided on the bottom of rigid shell 1222, and circular arc hinge 1224 and rotation groove 1223 are staggered 90 degrees in the axial direction of rigid shell 1222, a plurality of chamfered straight beams 1232 are provided on the flexible rod 1231, a pressing block 1233 is provided on the chamfered straight beam 1232 in the axial direction, a V-shaped cutout 1234 is provided below the pressing block 1233, a plurality of chamfered straight beams 1232 are provided in parallel along the axial direction of flexible rod 1231, and a plurality of chamfered straight beams 1232 are provided in parallel along the axial direction of flexible rod 1231. The beam 1232 constitutes the first incision form, and a plurality of chamfered straight beams 1232 staggered 90 degrees along the axis direction of the flexible rod 1231 constitute the second incision form. The chamfered straight beam 1232 of the first incision form is aligned with the rotation center line of the arc hinge 1217 of the rigid shell 1212, and the clamping block 1233 is installed in the groove 1214 through the embedding groove 1216 of the rigid shell 1212, similar to the installation of the rigid shell 1212 and the first incision form, the chamfered straight beam 1232 of the second incision form is aligned with the rotation center of the arc hinge 1224 of the rigid shell 1222, and a plurality of rigid shells 1222 are installed with connecting blocks 1241 at their ends. Two positioning blocks protrude from the bottom of the flexible rod 1231, and the top of the round tube 11 is provided with The axial position of the flexible rod 1231 is fixed by assembling the positioning groove matched with it. The flexible rod 1231 is made of flexible material. Six through holes are opened on the rigid shell 1212, and four through holes are opened on the rigid shell 2 1222. Two ropes 6 are fixed on the rigid shell 1212 at the end of the single-degree-of-freedom section 1211, and four ropes 6 are fixed at the end of the perforation of the connecting block 1241. The bottom surface of the arc hinge 1217 is tangent to the groove surface of the arc hinge 1217. The size of the embedded groove 1216 is larger than the clamping block 1233, which is convenient for the clamping block 1233 to enter the groove 1214 from the embedded groove 1216. The clamping block 1233 can rotate in the groove 1214, and the single-degree-of-freedom section 1211 is driven by the two ropes 6.When the flexible rod 1231 is embedded in the positioning groove of the round tube 11, the axial position of the flexible rod 1231 is fixed. At this time, the clamping block 1233 above each chamfered straight beam 1232 on the flexible rod 1231 is aligned with the arc hinge 1224 in the axial direction, so that when the flexible rod 1231 is subjected to pressure, the clamping block 1233 presses the groove 1214 tightly, so that the pressure between the arc hinge 1 1217 and the rotation groove 1 1213 increases. At the same time, because the position of the clamping block 1233 is on the rotation axis position of the arc hinge 1, its pressure will not affect the rotation of the arc hinge 1. The 34 structure can produce a slight deformation of the V-shaped cutout 1234 when the flexible rod 1231 is under pressure. At the same time, because the V-shaped cutout 1234 is located in the inner ring 1215, it cannot bend and can only slightly displace in the axial direction. The small displacement of the V-shaped cutout 1234 enables each clamping block 1233 to press the groove 1214 tightly, so that each rotating hinge of the rigid shell 1212 can be clamped. When it is clamped, the friction between the arc hinge 1217 and the rotating groove 1213 increases. At the same time, the same principle also exists for the rigid shell 2 1222, so that the overall rigidity of the flexible arm is improved. The shell 1 1212 and the shell 2 1222 of the utility model constitute a multi-section continuous rigid shell. The flexible arm of the utility model can perform deep cavity operations by providing the degree of freedom of linear feed through the linear module. The surgical robot as a whole has five degrees of freedom, high flexibility, and good surgical operability.

[0057] The end surgical forceps include a fixed cylinder 1301, a moving rod 1302, and a spring 1303. The fixed cylinder 1301 is embedded and installed at the top of the connecting block 1241. A first through hole is opened in the fixed cylinder 1301, and the moving rod 1302 is movably installed in the first through hole. A second through hole is set at the top of the moving rod 1302, and two connecting rods 1304 are rotatably installed through the second through hole. The two connecting rods 1304 are symmetrically arranged, and a clamping forceps 1305 is rotatably installed at the end of the connecting rod 1304. A torsion spring 1306 is embedded and installed inside the clamping forceps 1305. Four square grooves 1243 are set at the upper end of the connecting block 1241, and a cylindrical groove 1242 is opened at the bottom of the connecting block 1241. The spring 1303 is embedded and installed in the cylindrical groove 1242, and the spring 1303 is inserted into the cylindrical groove 1242 at the lower part of the moving rod 1302. , and the inner diameter of the spring 1303 is larger than the diameter of the first through hole opened in the fixed tube 1301. When the rope 6 in the center is pulled, the moving rod 1302 moves backward in the fixed tube 1301, and at the same time, the clamping forceps 1305 are driven to rotate by rotating the connecting rod 1304 to complete the opening of the end surgical forceps. At this time, the torsion spring 1306 is pulled open, and at the same time, since the spring 1303 is provided at the bottom of the moving rod 1302, the moving rod 1302 moving backward compresses the spring 1303, and the other end of the spring 1303 contacts the end of the flexible rod 1231, so that the flexible rod 1231 is compressed. Referring to the above-mentioned stiffness improvement principle, the stiffness of the flexible arm is increased, which can facilitate the surgical operation of the end surgical forceps. When the rope 6 in the center is relaxed, the clamping forceps 1305 is closed under the recovery of the torsion spring 1306.

[0058] The working method of the surgical robot of the utility model is specifically as follows: when performing a surgical operation, the single-degree-of-freedom segment 1211 and the double-degree-of-freedom segment 1221 of the flexible arm can be controlled to bend by controlling the rope 6 in the circumferential direction. At this time, the flexible arm is in a low-rigidity state, so that the end surgical forceps can reach the designated surgical area without damaging human tissue, and then the clamping forceps 1305 are opened by pulling the single rope 6 in the center, and at the same time, the clamping effect of the moving rod 1302 increases the rigidity of the flexible arm. At this time, the high-rigidity flexible arm can complete specific surgical operations such as clamping part of the tissue. When the center rope 6 is relaxed, the end surgical forceps return to a closed state under the action of the torsion spring 1306, and the flexible arm returns to a low-flexibility state.

[0059] The utility model surgical robot adopts a structure in which a flexible continuum is embedded and installed inside a rigid shell, which effectively improves the axial stiffness of the flexible arm. The flexible continuum structure is a flexible rod structure with a rounded straight beam cutout, which can effectively reduce torsional deformation and improve the end control accuracy. Only one rope is required to complete the clamping and closing actions. At the same time, when the surgical forceps are pulled open to contact the diseased tissue, the hinge of each rigid shell can be pre-stressed, thereby enhancing the overall stiffness of the flexible arm and improving the surgical operation capability. It has the advantages of simple structure and no need for additional drive to increase stiffness.

[0060] The above are only implementation methods of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or directly or indirectly used in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
