Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a locking mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The full-angle laparoscopic hand-controlled robotic arm surgical instrument is a medical device composed of a clamp head, a catheter, a support frame, a main shell, a handle, a control ring and a handshake connecting rod. In medical practice, it is mostly used to clamp human tissue during surgery. Among them, surgical robotic arm surgical instruments that use wire ropes to control the rotation and opening and closing of the clamp head are more common. During the puncture operation, the clamp head structure of the existing surgical robotic arm surgical instruments needs to be kept straight, and medical staff need to use their other hand to assist in the entry and exit. The lack of a straightening function makes the instrument difficult and laborious to operate, which is easy to cause mistakes and has general practicality.

[0003] The Chinese invention application with application publication number CN115607234A discloses a surgical mechanical arm forceps head locking mechanism, including an arc-shaped outer shell, a forceps head piece, a drive mechanism housing and a handle, wherein the drive mechanism housing rotates with the arc-shaped outer shell. During use, the drive mechanism housing can rotate with the arc-shaped outer shell, the drive mechanism housing and the handle are relatively fixed, and the handle can rotate. When the instrument needs to enter and exit the puncture device, the locking straight component is engaged with the arc-shaped outer shell, so that the drive mechanism housing cannot rotate, and the locking is realized. The forceps head piece is locked straight, and the instrument can be entered and exited by holding the instrument with one hand. During the operation, the locking straight component is separated from the arc-shaped outer shell to realize unlocking. The forceps head piece can be flexibly turned, and the instrument does not need to be assisted by the other hand to enter and exit the puncture device. The locking and unlocking are controlled by the locking control piece. Although the structural design realizes the rotation control of the drive mechanism housing, the overall structure is complex and the assembly difficulty is high. Utility Model Content

[0034] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0035] (Example 1)

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 The locking mechanism shown is installed between the arc-shaped outer shell and the driving mechanism, and includes a fixed seat 1, a rotating block 2, a fixed disk 3, a rotating disk 4, a locking mechanism 5 and a push plate 6. The fixed seat 1 and the rotating block 2 are respectively fixedly connected to the arc-shaped outer shell and the driving mechanism, and the fixed disk 3 and the rotating disk 4 are coaxially rotated together, wherein the fixed disk 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed seat 1, and the rotating disk 4 is fixedly connected to the rotating block 2. The locking mechanism 5 is connected between the outer circumference of the rotating disk 4 and the inner wall of the fixed disk 3 to limit the relative rotation of the two. The push plate 6 is installed on the top of the fixed disk 3 in a radially sliding manner, and is in transmission cooperation with the locking mechanism to trigger the locking mechanism to unlock the rotating disk 4 and realize the free rotation between the arc-shaped outer shell and the driving mechanism.

[0037] Specifically, a circular arc groove matching the outer circumference of the fixed disk 3 is provided on the side of the rotating block 2 close to the fixed disk 3, so that the overall structure is more compact and saves installation space. A downwardly concave limit groove 4-1 is provided on the top of the rotating disk 4, and a first connecting plate 7 is fixedly connected between the rotating block 2 and the rotating disk 4 to improve the connection reliability and the convenience of assembly. The first connecting plate 7 is installed in the limit groove 4-1, and the upper surface is flush with the upper surface of the rotating disk 4 to form a sliding plane. A strip groove 6-1 is opened in the middle of the push plate 6 along the length direction, and both ends of the strip groove 6-1 are gap-provided with limit pins 8 installed on the first connecting plate 7, so as to realize the sliding of the push plate 6 in a straight line direction, with a simple structure and reliable sliding. A second connecting plate 9 is provided between the rotating block 2 and the bottom of the fixed seat 1, one end of the second connecting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the rotating block 2 by two screws, and the other end is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 1 by a rotating pin, so that the integration is stronger and the reliability of the overall structure is further improved.

[0038] The outer circumference of the rotating disk 4 is fixedly mounted with connecting blocks 10 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the push plate. The locking mechanism 5 includes a super-axis 5-1 and a spring 5-2 connected between the super-axis 5-1 and the connecting block 10. The super-axis 5-1 abuts against the inner wall of the fixed disk 3 under the elastic force of the spring 5-2, and the relative position of the rotating disk 4 and the fixed disk 3 is locked under the action of the friction force. The structure is simple, the locking is reliable, and the manufacturing cost is low. In order to facilitate assembly, the outer circumference of the rotating disk 4 is provided with a positioning groove that is recessed inward, and the side of the connecting block 10 close to the rotating disk 4 cooperates with the positioning groove and is fixed in the positioning groove. In order to improve the reliability of locking, the super-axis 5-1 of this embodiment is provided with four and they are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting block 10 in pairs. The two springs 5-2 respectively penetrate the two connecting blocks 10, and the two ends of each spring 5-2 are fixedly connected to the corresponding super-axis 5-2. A rotating piece 11 is coaxially arranged between the fixed disk 3 and the rotating disk 4, and claws 11-1 are staggered at both ends of the rotating piece 11.

The claw 11-1 is pushed to rotate by pulling the push plate 6. The claw 11-1 and the overrunning shaft 5-1 are located on the same circumferential surface. When the claw 11-1 contacts the overrunning shaft 5-1, the overrunning shaft 5-1 is squeezed to shrink toward the connecting block, thereby separating from the inner wall of the fixed disk 3 to achieve unlocking. A second inclined surface 10-1 inclined toward the center of the rotating disk 4 is provided on both sides of the positioning groove to provide an avoidance space for the rotation of the claw 11-1, avoid mutual interference during rotation caused by installation accuracy problems, and further improve the reliability of unlocking.

The relative fixation of the positions of the two is achieved by arranging a locking mechanism 5 composed of an overrunning shaft 5-1 and a spring 5-2 between the fixed disk 3 and the rotating disk 4. The pushing plate 6 is pulled by an external force, so that the overrunning shaft 5-1 is squeezed by the claw 11-1 of the rotating sheet 11 to trigger the locking mechanism 5 to unlock, thereby achieving free rotation of the positions of the two, and then achieving the control of the rotation and locking of the driving mechanism shell. The overall structure is simple, easy to assemble, and easy to control.
