AI Technical Summary
In orthopedic surgery, when the angle of change in the rotation direction of the robotic arm is too large, the optical camera cannot recognize the tracer, resulting in the position of the surgical instrument being unable to be obtained, reducing the accuracy of the operation.
A double-sided tracer is designed, including a main body connection member, and a first reference frame and a second reference frame are provided at both ends in the length direction respectively. The planes of the two reference frames intersect and a reflective ball assembly is provided on it. This structure forms a larger area of positioning reference surface, which can still be tracked and identified by the optical camera when the rotation angle of the robot arm is large.
Through the design of the double-sided tracer, it is possible to ensure that the optical camera can recognize the tracer when the rotation direction of the robot is large, thereby obtaining the position of the surgical instrument through the robot, improving the accuracy of the operation.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of orthopedic navigation surgical instruments, in particular to a double-sided tracer and an orthopedic surgical robot. Background Art
[0002] With the promotion of orthopedic surgical robots in hospitals, the application of surgical robots to assist surgery has become more and more widespread. Surgical robots use mechanical arms to drive surgical instruments to assist doctors in performing surgery, which can greatly improve the accuracy of surgery.
[0003] In orthopedic robotic surgery, a robotic arm, i.e., the active arm, is used to help the doctor position the device. A tracer is installed on the robotic arm to track the real-time position of the end of the robotic arm. The ruler and guide are installed on the tracer to complete the registration and surgical instrument guidance functions. In pure navigation surgery, the robotic arm is not required for positioning, and the doctor uses handheld instruments for positioning. However, in pure navigation surgery, the ruler also needs to be fixed to complete the registration. At this time, a bedside bracket, i.e., a passive arm, is required to be combined with a tracer for auxiliary positioning.
[0004] During existing surgeries, the robotic arm often needs to be rotated at different angles to allow the surgical instrument to reach the operating position. If the angle of rotation is too large, the optical camera will not be able to recognize the tracer, and the position of the surgical instrument cannot be obtained through the robot, reducing the accuracy of the operation. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a double-sided tracer and an orthopedic surgical robot which are easy to track and locate.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] On the one hand, a double-sided tracer is provided, including a main connecting member, wherein a first reference frame and a second reference frame are respectively fixedly provided at both ends of the main connecting member in the length direction, the plane where the first reference frame is located intersects with the plane where the second reference frame is located, and at least three reflection ball assemblies are provided on the first reference frame and the second reference frame.
[0008] Furthermore, the upper ends of the first reference frame and the second reference frame are both inclined toward the middle of the main connecting member, and the angle between the plane where the first reference frame is located and the plane where the second reference frame is located is 80-100 degrees.
[0009] Furthermore, both ends of the main connecting member in the length direction are provided with inclined mounting surfaces.
[0010] Furthermore, the first reference frame and the second reference frame are both connected to the inclined mounting surface by pins and / or screws.
[0011] Furthermore, an upper groove for connecting the ruler and the guide is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the main connecting piece.
[0012] Furthermore, a lower slot for connecting the active arm or passive arm of the orthopedic surgical robot is provided in the middle of the lower surface of the main connecting piece.
[0013] Furthermore, the upper slot and the lower slot are both cross-shaped slots, and a side wall close to the side of the main connecting piece is open.
[0014] Furthermore, the main connecting member is provided with a pin hole and / or a threaded hole penetrating through the upper slot and the lower slot.

[0016] On the other hand, an orthopedic surgical robot is provided, comprising an active arm and a passive arm, wherein the active arm and / or the passive arm is provided with the above-mentioned double-sided tracer.
[0017] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] The double-sided tracer and orthopedic surgical robot of the utility model include a main body connector, and the first reference frame and the second reference frame are respectively fixed at both ends of the length direction of the main body connector. The plane where the first reference frame is located intersects with the plane where the second reference frame is located. In this way, a larger positioning reference surface can be formed on the tracer through the two intersecting reference frames.

When the angle of change in the rotation direction of the robot arm is too large, the optical camera can still easily track and identify the tracer, and the position of the surgical instrument can be obtained by the robot, thereby improving the accuracy of the operation. Therefore, the double-sided tracer of the utility model is easy to track and locate (in real time) and is easy to use.
[0028] Preferably, the upper end of the first reference frame 2 and the upper end of the second reference frame 3 can be inclined toward the middle of the main connecting member 1, and the angle a between the plane where the first reference frame 2 is located and the plane where the second reference frame 3 is located is 80-100 degrees, which can make tracking and positioning more convenient.

The main connecting member 1 can be provided with a pin hole 14 and / or a threaded hole 15 that penetrates the upper slot 12 and the lower slot 13, so that when the ruler, guide, active arm or passive arm of the surgical robot is connected to the main connecting member 1, it can be fixed by pins and / or screws to increase firmness. Through holes 16 (specifically, square holes) can be provided on both sides of the middle of the main connecting member 1 to reduce weight and make it easier to use.
[0032] On the other hand, the utility model provides an orthopedic surgical robot, comprising an active arm and a passive arm, wherein the active arm and / or the passive arm is provided with the above-mentioned double-sided tracer. Since the structure of the double-sided tracer is the same as above, it will not be described here in detail.
