Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical equipment, and specifically relates to a highly integrated two-stage end effector for a transurethral and transvaginal rigid endoscopic surgical robot. Background Art

[0002] The end effector is an end-effector tool that can be used in transurethral and transvaginal rigid endoscopic surgical robots. It is used to clamp the resectoscope and drive the resectoscope to complete the surgical operation. During the surgical robot operation, the safe and stable operation of the end effector is the key to ensuring the smooth progress of the operation, the key to ensuring the safety of the robotic surgery, and the key to ensuring the accuracy of the surgical robot operation. However, the reliability, stability, and safety of the existing end effectors are still not satisfactory. Utility Model Content

[0003] The inventor of the utility model realizes that the high-integration design of the end effector is the key to improving the working stability of the end effector. The high-integration design reduces the connection of key circuits, reduces uncertainty factors, and improves the stability of the end effector. The end effector is internally installed with electrical components such as motors and control boards, which have relatively high requirements for waterproofing. There is a risk of waterproofing failure, which reduces the stability of the end effector. The inventor of the utility model designed a two-stage end effector that separates the actuator end and the power end. The actuator end is designed with a transmission part and a clamping part, and the power end is designed with electrical components such as a motor and a control board. The actuator end is mainly a transmission part and does not require a waterproof design. The power end is designed with a motor and a control board, which requires a waterproof design. Water ingress during surgery is mainly at the actuator end, so this design improves the stability of the actuator, and its stability is the guarantee for the smooth progress of the operation.

[0004] The end effector end will be contaminated with human body fluids after use. To prevent cross infection, an information board is set at the end effector end to record the use information of the end effector and improve the safety of surgery. The design of the end effector end tooling is used to burn the end effector related programs and read the end effector related use information.

[0005] The highly integrated two-stage end effector of the utility model divides the end effector into an end effector power end and an end effector execution end. The end effector power end is provided with power components and electrical components such as a motor, a coupling, an output adapter shaft, and a control panel, and the end effector execution end is provided with components and electrical components such as a lead screw, a sliding block, and an information panel, and the power components of the end effector power end can provide power for the end effector execution end resectoscope to complete the surgical work. A motor support seat (113) is provided on the power base plate (101) of the end effector power end, and the internal motor (115) is fixed on the motor support seat (113). The motor shaft is connected to the output adapter shaft (106) through a coupling (114), one end of the output adapter shaft (106) is fixed on the coupling (114), and the output adapter shaft (106) is mounted on the active sealing plate (104) through a bearing support, and the other end of the output adapter shaft (106) is a concave hexagonal shape. In this way, when the concave hexagonal shape of the output adapter shaft (106) is connected to the convex hexagonal shape of one end of the actuator end lead screw, the motor power can be input to the lead screw (204), and then drive the trigger of the electric resectoscope to reciprocate, and the transmission structure is simple and effective.

[0006] In the highly integrated two-stage end effector provided by the utility model, the active sealing plate (104) of the power end and the locking nut (105) are connected by threads, so that the locking nut (105) axially presses the spiral buckle (109) and can freely rotate in a circle on the central groove of the active sealing plate (104). The spiral buckle (109) of the power end of the end effector and the fixed locking buckle (203) fixed on the execution end of the end effector have corresponding spiral protrusions and spiral grooves, and the separation and locking of the power end and the execution end of the end effector are achieved through spiral movement.

[0007] In the highly integrated two-stage end effector provided by the utility model, the switch push block (107) drives the push block connector (108) to rotate, thereby driving the rotation of the spiral buckle (109). When it rotates to the locked position, the elastic force of the spring (110) pushes the lock button (111) to lock the switch push block (107), locking the power end and the execution end of the end effector and preventing them from loosening. Pressing the lock button (111) and pushing the switch push block (107) can separate the power end and the execution end of the end effector. The two ends of the end effector can be separated and locked more conveniently, and the hidden design of the switch makes the appearance of the end effector more beautiful. The locking device can effectively ensure the reliability of the connection between the power end and the execution end.

[0008] In the highly integrated two-stage end effector provided by the utility model, an information board (212) is arranged in the execution end, and a control board (116) is integrated in the power end. The control board (116) is connected to the information board (212), the motor (115), the button (121) and the connector (118). The control board (116) integrates information commands and transmits them to the host computer through the connector (118).

[0009] In the highly integrated two-stage end effector provided by the utility model, the anti-disassembly label (103) on the fixing plate of the power end can effectively prevent non-professionals from disassembling the power end of the end effector. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The three are installed together to define the internal space of the end actuator execution end (2). Because the information plate (212) is relatively small in size, 17mm*12mm, it is installed in a special groove and is strictly sealed with a three-proof paint or a sealant to ensure that the information plate (212) does not come into contact with water.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the passive sealing plate (206) is provided with an O-ring groove (20601), in which an O-ring is placed to prevent liquid from entering the PIN male seat (205) during surgery and causing leakage, thereby playing a sealing role.

[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, a first PIN female socket is arranged in the execution end tooling (3), and the first PIN female socket is connected to the PIN male socket (205) of the execution end of the end actuator, so as to realize the burning of the program and the reading of the information on the information board (212) on the execution end (2).

[0024] like Figure 2As shown, the passive base plate (201) of the front end execution end (2) is fixed with a front clip (213), a rear clip (214) and a shifting block (215) of the resectoscope.

[0025] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the power end (1) includes an active base plate (101), an active housing (102), an anti-disassembly label (103), an active sealing plate (104), a lock nut (105), an output adapter shaft (106), a switch push block (107), a push block connector (108), a spiral buckle (109), a spring (110), a lock button (111), a second PIN nut (112), a motor support base (113), a coupling (114), and a motor (115).

The three are assembled and installed together to define the internal space of the power end (1).

[0027] like Figure 7 As shown, the motor support seat (113) is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the active base plate (101), and the motor (115) is fixedly mounted on the motor support seat (113). The motor shaft is connected to the output adapter shaft (106) through a coupling (114). One end of the output adapter shaft (106) is fixed on the coupling (114), and the middle is mounted on the active cover plate (104) through a bearing. The active cover plate (104) is designed with a bearing. The output adapter shaft (106) is mounted on the active cover plate (104) through a bearing support. The other end of the output adapter shaft (106) is a concave hexagonal shape. When it is connected with the convex hexagonal shape at one end of the lead screw (204) at the execution end, the motor power is input to the lead screw (204), and then further drives the shift block (215) to move, thereby driving the trigger of the electrosurgical resectoscope to reciprocate. As shown Figure 7 As shown, a button (121) and a control panel (116) are also installed on the active bottom plate (101); the active bottom plate (101) is fixedly connected to one side of the base (122).

Pressing the lock button (111) and pushing the switch push block (107) can separate the power end (1) and the execution end (2). The two ends of the end effector can be separated and locked more conveniently, and the hidden design of the switch makes the appearance of the end effector more beautiful. The locking device can effectively ensure the reliability of the connection between the power end and the execution end.

A contact (304) is provided on the tooling board, and the contact (304) contacts the spring pin (11801) on the connector (118), so as to realize communication and power supply between the tooling board and the control board (116) in the power end (1), and realize program burning and usage information reading.

[0033] In the internal spiral separation structure of the end effector of the utility model, an anti-disassembly label (103) is arranged on the fixing plate of the end effector power end (1), which can effectively prevent non-professionals from disassembling the end effector power end.

[0034] The highly integrated two-stage end effector and its tooling design for the transurethral and vaginal rigid endoscopic surgical robot uses a PCB with higher integration and more stable signal transmission to replace the original wires and connectors, ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection of the end effector and thus ensuring the safety of the operation. At the same time, the utility model also uses a softer light strip to replace the original light board, making the end effector more beautiful.
