Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical instruments for minimally invasive abdominal surgery, in particular to a minimally invasive surgical instrument. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic technology has brought great changes to the development of modern surgical medical technology, and minimally invasive surgical technology has significantly improved the effect of surgical operations. Compared with open surgery, laparoscopic surgery has the advantages of less pain, less blood loss, and faster recovery, and it can complete most abdominal surgeries. The application of laparoscopic surgery is gradually entering more complex surgical fields, and the surgical mode is also shifting towards more precise, subtle, minimally invasive and multi-information-oriented intelligent surgery. Minimally invasive surgical robots are created to meet the new requirements of this type of surgery.

[0003] The current mainstream minimally invasive surgical robot structure is mainly composed of a doctor's operating table, a patient operating table and surgical instruments. The surgical method is that the surgeon controls the wrist on the doctor's operating table and transmits the movement of the doctor's wrist to the patient operating table through electrical signals. The patient operating table is equipped with surgical instruments for surgical operations, enabling the doctor to remotely control the surgical instruments to perform surgical movements.

[0004] At present, the surgical instruments used in minimally invasive surgical robots are mainly composed of three parts: the execution end, the instrument rod, and the transmission assembly. These three parts mainly transmit actions through wire ropes. The transmission assembly is connected to the motor at the end of the mechanical arm on the patient's operating table, receives the rotational torque of the motor, and transmits it to the execution end through the wire rope to achieve the opening, closing, deflection and other actions of the end of the surgical instrument. The current transmission assembly structure is slightly complicated, and the axle that carries the wire wheel will rotate. Due to the limited space of the overall structure, the axle will rub against the support platform of the transmission assembly when it rotates, resulting in problems such as axle tilting or wire wheel disengagement.

The terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the referred device or element must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the minimally invasive surgical instrument involved in the present application includes a transmission assembly 1, an instrument rod 2, and an execution end 3. These three parts mainly transmit actions through wire ropes, and the connection relationship between the three is similar to that in the prior art, which will not be repeated here.

[0023] The transmission assembly 1 includes a base 11, which is provided with a wire hole. One end of the instrument rod 2 is connected to the base 11, and the other end is connected to the execution end 3. A plurality of transmission shafts 12 are arranged between the base 11 and the closing plate 14 at intervals. Each transmission shaft 12 can rotate relative to the base 11 and the closing plate 14. Specifically, both ends of each transmission shaft 12 are respectively connected to the base 11 and the closing plate 14 via bearings. In the present embodiment, transmission shafts 12 are provided at the four corners of the base 11.

[0024] A wire wheel assembly 16 is also mounted on the base 11, and the wire wheel assembly 16 includes a support platform 161 mounted on the base 11. Specifically, a boss is provided in the middle position of the upper surface of the base 11, and a countersunk hole 161-7 matching the boss is provided on the lower surface of the support platform 161. Through the cooperation of the two, the support platform 161 is assembled to the base 11, and each transmission shaft 12 is arranged along the periphery of the support platform 161; in order to make the structure more stable, a plurality of support column guide holes 161-1 are provided on the support platform 161, for example, four, and a support column 15 is provided at each support column guide hole 161-1, and the upper end of the support column 15 is fixed to the sealing plate 14 by screws, and the lower end thereof is fixed in the threaded hole on the base 11.

[0025] A middle through hole 161-3 is provided in the middle position of the support platform 161, and the middle through hole 161-3 penetrates the support platform 161 along the up and down direction. At least two wheel axle body mounting grooves 161-4 are provided on the support platform 161 at intervals, and cylindrical pin mounting grooves 161-5 are provided on the support platform 161 on the left and right sides of each wheel axle body mounting groove 161-4. The cylindrical pin mounting grooves 161-5 are communicated with the corresponding wheel axle body mounting grooves 161-4, and a wheel axle body 162 is assembled at each wheel axle body mounting groove 161-4. The wheel axle body 162 includes a seat plate, and a mounting boss 162-3 is provided on the lower surface of the seat plate. A connecting column is fixedly provided on the seat plate, and two non-coaxial cylindrical pins 162-1 are symmetrically fixedly provided on the left and right sides of the connecting column. The seat plate is fixed on the support platform 16 1 (for example, a tapered hole 162-2 is further provided on the seat plate, and a wheel axle body fixing screw hole 161-6 is correspondingly provided on the support platform 161, and the wheel axle body 162 is fixed on the support platform 161 through the cooperation of the countersunk screw 163, the tapered hole 162-2 and the wheel axle body fixing screw hole 161-6). At this time, the mounting boss 162-3 and the connecting column on the wheel axle body 162 are placed in the wheel axle body mounting groove 161-4, a part of each cylindrical pin 162-1 is placed in the corresponding wheel axle body mounting groove 161-4, and the other part is placed in the corresponding cylindrical pin mounting groove 161-5, and the wire wheel 164 is rotatably installed at the cylindrical pin 162-1 in the wheel axle body mounting groove 161-4, and the wire wheel 164 can rotate in the wheel axle body mounting groove 161-4. The above-mentioned structural arrangement enables the cylindrical pin 162 - 1 to be fixed relative to the support platform 161 , and the cylindrical pin 162 - 1 and the corresponding axle body 162 form a whole, which is convenient for assembly and disassembly, and will not cause friction problems relative to the support platform 161 .

[0026] Each axle body 162 corresponds to each transmission shaft 12 one by one. Two wire ropes 17 are fixedly connected to each transmission shaft 12. After each wire rope 17 is guided by the corresponding wire wheel 164, it passes through the middle through hole 161-3 and the wire hole on the base 11 into the instrument rod 2, and is then connected to the execution terminal 3. When the corresponding transmission shaft 12 is driven to rotate, the execution terminal 3 can perform corresponding actions.

[0027] In order to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the minimally invasive surgical instrument and the robot's mechanical arm, the minimally invasive surgical instrument also includes two symmetrically arranged button springs 18, one end of each button spring 18 is sunk into the spring mounting hole 161-2 arranged on the side of the support platform 161, and the other end is connected to the button 13.

[0028] The minimally invasive surgical instrument involved in the present application further includes a housing 19 , which is mounted on the base 11 and is used to protect the transmission assembly 1 .

[0029] In a specific use process, when the corresponding transmission shaft 12 is driven to rotate, the corresponding wire rope 17 can be pulled out and pulled in, thereby enabling the execution terminal 3 to perform corresponding actions, such as opening and closing, deflection, etc.

[0030] The minimally invasive surgical instrument involved in the present application, by making the cylindrical pin and the corresponding wheel axle body form an integral body, and making each cylindrical pin fixed relative to the support platform, can ensure that when the wire rope is pulled out and pulled in, the wire wheel basically rotates in place and will not be separated; and the cylindrical pin will not rotate with the rotation of the wire wheel, and then there will be no wear problem between the cylindrical pin and the support platform. In addition, during installation and disassembly and maintenance, the wire wheel will not fall out with the separation of the wire rope, which can reduce the problems caused by the accidental falling off of the wire wheel during installation and disassembly and maintenance of the product.

[0031] The above is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent substitutions or changes according to the technical solution and concept of the present application within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present application.
