[0004] For safety, the large and complex electrical components are an important part that cannot be ignored. Among them, the electrical control box, which serves as the energy and communication hub of the surgical robot, is of utmost importance.
[0005] Prior to this application, the common practice in the art was to use a huge number of cables to connect circuits. In the absence of an electrical control box, numerous cables are stacked together in a disorderly manner, which not only makes the interior of the equipment look messy, but more importantly, this chaotic wiring method is very likely to cause electrical line failures. The interweaving and entanglement of cables makes daily maintenance and repair extremely difficult, and once a fault occurs, it is difficult to quickly locate and repair it. Utility Model Content

[0027] Figure 1 This is a layout diagram of the components of the power distribution box of the transurethral and transvaginal rigid endoscopic surgical robot provided by the present utility model. Figure 1As shown, the distribution box includes eight external interfaces and five internal modules. The eight external interfaces are: 1 power input interface, 2 RJ45 interfaces, 1 DB9 interface, 1 7P interface, 1 9P interface, 1 12P interface, and 1 14P interface; the five modules are: plug-in terminal block, Ether CAT, switching power supply, Elmo driver, and relay. They realize the structural composition of the entire distribution box.
[0028] There is one power input interface, which is used as the main power supply of the electrical control box, and the working voltage is AC220V. The power input interface is connected to the input of the switch power supply inside the distribution box.
[0029] The power switch is responsible for turning the entire circuit on and off. The internal neutral and live wires are each equipped with a fuse, which can effectively prevent overcurrent and overvoltage in the input circuit, thus playing a role in protecting the circuit.
[0030] The main function of the plug-in terminal block is to transfer the 24V output of the switching power supply. The terminal blocks are used to power modules such as Elmo drivers, relays, and Ether CAT.
[0031] In this way, the regularity and rationality of line wiring can be ensured, and the power supply independence between modules can be ensured, thus avoiding the situation where a single module failure causes the failure of the entire electrical control box and increasing the system's risk resistance.
[0032] There are two RJ45 interfaces. The first RJ45 interface is for network communication, and the communication protocol is Ether CAT communication. The slave-end robot chassis is connected to the Ether CAT module through the first RJ45 interface. As the most important communication hub of the entire surgical robot, it ensures smooth communication between the master-end operating handle and the slave-end robot, and realizes the master-slave control of the surgical robot.
[0033] The second RJ45 interface is a spare interface, reserving a line channel for subsequent product upgrades.
[0034] The internal protocol of the DB9 interface is RS-232. The interface communicates with the motor encoder of the end effector externally and with the Elmo driver internally, forming a complete circuit loop with the J3-14P interface to realize the movement of the end effector motor, thereby driving the movement of the endoscopic electrosurgical device to achieve the removal of the patient's lesion. As one of the most important communication circuits of the entire surgical robot, the DB9 interface also has the highest requirements for the stability of the electrical system.
[0035] The DB9 interface is a common serial communication interface, which is widely used for data transmission between computers and external devices. Its structural features are as follows:

[0040] 2. Wide compatibility: DB9 interface is a universal interface standard, which is supported by many computers and external devices. This wide application and compatibility ensures the interconnection between different devices, allowing users to easily connect and use various devices.
[0041] 3. Easy to expand and maintain: The design of the DB9 interface is simple and clear. Users only need to insert the plug into the interface to complete the connection. In addition, the DB9 interface also supports a variety of expansion modules and adapters to meet the connection requirements between different devices, improving the flexibility and scalability of the interface. This easy expansion and maintenance feature helps reduce the maintenance cost of the system and improve the stability of the system.
[0042] The main function of the 12P interface is to provide a stable path for the Elmo drive, which is a high-performance servo drive that provides a wide range of applications for motion control solutions. The Elmo drive has the following main functions:
[0043] 1. Motion control: Elmo drivers are mainly used to control the output torque of the motor, thereby achieving precise control of the output torque of the flexible joint. This includes position following, speed feedback, current control and other control methods.
[0044] 2. Advanced control algorithm: Elmo drive has built-in advanced servo control algorithm, which can achieve ultra-high motion control accuracy and response speed. It provides precise EtherCAT network control, with faster cycle time, higher coordination, and near zero latency.
[0045] 3. Communication and interface: Elmo actuator supports a variety of communication interfaces, such as CAN fieldbus and RS232 communication interface, which can easily connect and communicate with various sensors and actuators. In addition, it also supports a variety of different sensor signals, allowing the actuator to flexibly adapt to different application scenarios.
[0046] 4. Safety and protection: Elmo driver has perfect safety protection function. It can process instructions and provide power output to the motor through the internal chip, and it also has current feedback function and protection device to prevent the motor from being damaged by excessive current. In addition, it also provides emergency stop function, which can quickly cut off the power supply in an emergency to protect the safety of equipment and personnel.
[0047] 5. Synchronization and coordination: Elmo drives support multiple feedback modes, including primary feedback control and auxiliary feedback control, which can realize synchronous feedback control of different types of motors. At the same time, it also supports the simultaneous operation of multiple feedback signals, such as two absolute encoders working at the same time, which improves the coordination and stability of the system.
[0048] 6. Scalability and flexibility: Elmo drives are designed with multiple I / O reserved interfaces, which not only support the implementation of existing functions, but also facilitate users to develop secondary functions. This makes the drive highly scalable and flexible, and can adapt to different application requirements.
[0049] In short, Elmo drive is a powerful and excellent servo drive with the characteristics of high precision, high response and high safety. It is widely used in industrial automation, robotics, aerospace and other fields.
[0050] In addition, the 12P interface is connected to the foot pedal, drag, and one-touch self-test button to ensure the normal operation of the corresponding functions.
[0051] The 7P interface transfers the 24V power supply through the plug-in terminal block to provide the working voltage and current for the end effector motor.
[0052] The 9P interface is connected to a 24V power supply and is used as a backup power supply line, which is an effective safeguard against system power failure.
[0053] System innovations:
[0054] This device realizes the transmission function of signals or power supply through a variety of different interfaces. It not only realizes physical anti-misconnection and effectively prevents the wrong connection of interfaces, but also realizes the functional division of different modules to ensure that each module will not be affected by each other.
[0055] In this way, the purpose of intuitive and concise system wiring is achieved, and the risk resistance of the electrical system is increased, ensuring the stability of the electrical system.
