[0032] The utility model provides a surgical instrument equipped with an RFID electronic tag.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 1 , 2 4. The surgical instrument equipped with RFID electronic tags includes:

[0034] The device body 100 has a mounting groove 200, wherein the mounting groove 200 has a groove side wall 210 and a groove bottom wall 220;

[0035] An RFID tag 300 is disposed in the mounting slot 200; and

[0036] The protective layer 400 is integrally formed in the mounting groove 200 and covers the RFID tag 300, that is, the protective layer 400 is arranged in the mounting groove 200 by an integral molding method, wherein the integral molding method includes but is not limited to injection and casting; and, by the way that the protective layer 400 is integrally formed in the mounting groove 200, it is possible to fix the RFID tag 300 in the mounting groove 200, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the RFID tag 300 on the device body 100; one of the groove side wall 210 of the mounting groove 200 and the protective layer 400 is provided with a limiting protrusion 410, and the other is provided with a limiting recess corresponding to the limiting protrusion 410. Groove 230, the limiting protrusion 410 cooperates with the limiting groove 230 to limit the protective layer 400 to the mounting groove 200, and a limiting structure is formed between the groove side wall 210 of the mounting groove 200 and the protective layer 400. When the connection stability between the protective layer 400 and the mounting groove 200 is poor, that is, when the adhesive stability between the protective layer 400 and the mounting groove 200 decreases, the limiting protrusion 410 and the limiting groove 230 cooperate to prevent the protective layer 400 from detaching from the mounting groove 200, thereby preventing the RFID tag 300 from falling from the mounting groove 200, thereby solving the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0037] The technical solution of the utility model is to set a limiting groove 230 and a limiting protrusion 410 between the groove side wall 210 of the installation groove 200 and the protective layer 400. When the connection stability between the protective layer 400 and the installation groove 200 decreases, that is, when the connection stability between the glue layer and the surgical instrument decreases, the limiting groove 230 and the limiting protrusion 410 can restrict the protective layer 400 in the installation groove 200, thereby preventing the protective layer 400 from being separated from the installation groove 200, thereby preventing the RFID tag 300 from being separated from the instrument body 100, and thus solving the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0038] In one embodiment, reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 , the installation groove 200 is provided in the device body 100. By directly providing the installation groove 200 on the device body 100, the processing and production of the present application can be facilitated, and the production efficiency of the product can be improved; the ratio of the depth h1 of the installation groove 200 to the thickness h2 at the opening position in the device body 100 is at least 1:3. Specifically, the depth of the installation groove 200 is preferably 2 mm. At this depth, the thickness of the protective layer can be guaranteed, and the connection between the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove between the protective layer and the installation groove can be guaranteed to be more stable; when the depth of the installation groove 200 is preferably 2 mm, the thickness of the installation groove 200 at the opening position of the device body 100 is at least 6 mm, so that the strength of the device body 100 at the opening position can be prevented from decreasing, resulting in the device body 100 being affected when in use.

[0039] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 The limiting groove 230 is arranged in the mounting groove 200, wherein the limiting groove 230 is arranged on the groove side wall 210 of the mounting groove 200, and the limiting protrusion 410 is arranged on the protective layer 400. Such a configuration can avoid the depth of the mounting groove 200 being too deep and destroying the rigidity of the device body 100, while meeting the installation space of the mounting groove 200, making it convenient for the RFID tag 300 to be installed into the mounting groove 200.

[0040] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 , the mounting groove 200 and the limiting groove 230 are both configured as laser etched grooves, and the mounting groove 200 and the limiting groove 230 can be easily opened by laser etching (laser drilling) using laser equipment. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting groove can be first formed by machining, and then the limiting groove is formed by laser etching. In other embodiments, the mounting groove and the limiting groove can also be formed only by machining. The limiting groove 230 can be an annular groove, which can increase the space of the limiting groove 230, thereby increasing the structure of the limiting protrusion 410.

[0041] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 The groove side wall 210 and the groove bottom wall are arranged at a first preset angle α, wherein the first preset angle α ranges from 90° to 150°, and its purpose is to increase the area of ​​the groove opening of the mounting groove 200, and at the same time, the groove side wall can be inclined. At this time, when the limiting groove is opened on the groove side wall, due to the inclined setting of the groove side wall, its processing path can be closer to the connection between the groove side wall and the groove bottom wall during machining or laser etching, so that the processing area of ​​the limiting groove on the groove side wall is larger, and the processing and opening of the limiting groove is more convenient.

[0042] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 The limiting groove 230 and the groove bottom wall 220 are formed at a second preset angle β and are opened on the groove side wall 210, wherein the second preset angle β ranges from 20° to 60°. This arrangement is also for the convenience of opening the limiting groove 230 on the groove side wall 210 of the installation groove 200, specifically mainly for the convenience of laser etching. The notch of the limiting groove and the groove bottom wall are spaced apart in the groove depth direction of the installation groove, such as Figure 2As shown, that is to say, the distance from the bottom wall 220 of the mounting groove 200 to the limiting groove 230 can limit the RFID tag 300 on the bottom wall 220 of the mounting groove 200, so that the RFID tag can correspond to the notch of the mounting groove, thereby preventing the RFID tag signal from being blocked by the device body during transmission.

[0043] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 The RFID tag 300 is configured as a wet RFID tag, and the wet RFID tag can speed up production. Specifically, the wet RFID tag has a backing adhesive 310. During the production process, the RFID tag 300 can be fixed on the bottom wall 220 of the installation groove 200 only by the backing adhesive 310. It is easy to operate and easy to use, and can save the installation time of the RFID tag 300, effectively improving the production efficiency.

[0044] In one embodiment, reference Figure 4 , the protective layer 400 is configured as UV glue. Compared with epoxy resin, the later curing time of UV glue is shorter and the production efficiency is higher. The UV glue is injected into the mounting groove 200 by the injection tube 500 through the notch of the mounting groove 200. Since the notch of the mounting groove 200 is large, the gas in the mounting groove 200 can be easily discharged outward during the injection process. At the same time, the limiting groove 230 and the groove bottom wall 220 form a second preset angle. Under the action of the second preset angle, the UV glue can flow into the limiting groove 230 better, which can improve the injection efficiency; at the same time, the RFID tag 300 is configured as a wet RFID tag. Under the action of the back glue 310, the UV glue can be injected into the mounting groove 200 during the injection process. Prevent the wet RFID tag from moving; even if, in order to improve efficiency, the manufacturer pours the mixture too quickly, resulting in the adhesive backing 310 of the wet RFID tag not being able to adhere well to the bottom wall 220 of the groove, since the groove opening of the limiting groove 230 is spaced apart from the bottom wall 220 in the depth direction of the mounting groove, and a step facade is formed at the gap, the step facade can limit the wet RFID tag to the bottom wall 220 of the mounting groove 200, that is, even if the RFID tag accidentally moves horizontally in the mounting groove 200, it can be blocked by the step facade and will not move too much.

[0045] In this embodiment, reference Figure 4 The limiting protrusion 410 is formed after the UV glue is cured. After the UV glue is injected, the curing time after being irradiated with ultraviolet light is short, which can accelerate the formation of the limiting protrusion 410. Compared with machining the limiting protrusion 410 in the installation groove, it is faster and more convenient.

[0046] In one embodiment, reference Figure 1The device body 100 includes two sub-bodies 110 that are opposite and hinged to each other. The sub-body 110 includes a gripping portion 113, a hinged portion 111, and a transition portion 112 connecting the gripping portion and the hinged portion. The mounting slot 200 is provided in the transition portion 112. In this embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The side of the transition portion 112 is provided with a stopper portion protruding outward, and the mounting groove 200 is at least partially provided on the stopper portion, wherein the function of the stopper portion is to restrict the hand of the user to the gripping portion when the user uses the instrument body, so as to prevent the hand from sliding from the gripping portion to the hinged portion.

[0047] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
