[0002] The stapler plays the most crucial role in laparoscopic surgery. Due to the limited space in the abdominal cavity or thoracic cavity, traditional straight laparoscopic staplers cannot fully and effectively reach the required surgical site for clamping, transecting, and anastomosing tissues. Therefore, an elbow stapler with a turnable stapler jaw is needed. In the straight state, this turnable elbow stapler enters the thoracic cavity or abdominal cavity through a trocar, and the stapler jaw is bent at a certain angle through a bending control mechanism on the external handle, and a series of operations such as clamping, transecting, and anastomosing the surgical site are performed. After the operation is completed, it returns to the straight state and exits the body. The existing steering connecting rod is rigidly connected and the length of the force arm between it and the rotating shaft is limited by space, resulting in limited left and right swing angles. This makes it impossible to reach the ideal operating position during a series of operations such as clamping, transecting, and anastomosing in some surgeries. Content of the Utility Model

[0037] In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined, words such as "set", "installed", "connected", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above words in the present utility model in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0038] Refer to Figures 1 to 8As shown in the figure, an articulating angle device for a stapler according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a stapler jaw 100, a rotating member 200, a sleeve 300, a fixing rod 400, and a slider 500; the stapler jaw 100 is used for anastomosing human tissues. The rotating member 200 is fixedly connected to one end of the stapler jaw 100; an installation block 310 is arranged inside the sleeve 300, and a part of the installation block 310 extends out of the sleeve 300. The sleeve 300 is connected to an electric stapler handle. Both the sleeve 300 and the electric stapler handle are prior arts, and their specific structures and functions will not be elaborated further. The rotating member 200 is rotatably installed at one end of the installation block 310 extending out of the sleeve 300; the stapler jaw 100 is hinged to the sleeve 300. It can be foreseen that the rotation centers of the rotating member 200 and the stapler jaw 100 are coaxial to prevent deformation of the rotating member 200 during rotation. Since the moving direction of the trocar is limited during laparoscopic surgery, the direction change of the stapler jaw 100 is realized through the hinge of the stapler jaw 100, which is convenient for anastomosing human tissues from different directions. The fixing rod 400 is inserted into the installation block 310, and the fixing rod 400 has a first position for fixing the rotating member 200 and a second position separated from the rotating member 200; when the fixing rod 400 fixes the rotating member 200, the stapler jaw 100 and the sleeve 300 cannot rotate relative to each other, and human tissues can be anastomosed. When the fixing rod 400 releases the fixation of the rotating member 200, the stapler jaw 100 can rotate freely. At this time, the included angle between the stapler jaw 100 and the sleeve 300 can be changed by means of gravity or touching other objects. During laparoscopic surgery, the stapler jaw 100 can be bent conveniently. The slider 500 is slidably installed on the installation block 310. A control rod 311 is inserted into the installation block 310. One end of the control rod 311 is connected to the installation block 310, and the slider 500 is used to drive the fixing rod 400 to switch between the first position and the second position. For the convenience of manufacturing and installation, the installation block 310 can be composed of two semi-cylinders, and the control rod 311 and the fixing rod 400 are clamped between the two semi-cylinders. Corresponding strip grooves for the control rod 311 and the fixing rod 400 are provided on the mutually approaching surfaces of the two semi-cylinders.

[0039] Referring to Figure 3 As shown in the figure, it can be understood that the stapler jaw 100 includes a cartridge assembly 110 located at the lower part and an anvil 120 located at the upper part and hinged to the cartridge assembly 110. Suturing staples are arranged inside the cartridge assembly 110. A pusher rod is inserted into the sleeve 300, and a blade is connected to the part of the pusher rod located inside the cartridge assembly 110. While the pusher rod pushes the suturing staples out of the cartridge assembly 110 and cooperates with the anvil 120 to complete the suturing of human tissues, the pusher rod drives the blade to cut the human tissues. The rear part of the cartridge assembly 110 is bolted to the rotating member 200. The specific structure of the stapler jaw 100 is a prior art, so it will not be elaborated further.

[0040] Reference Figures 2 to 8 As shown, it can be understood that one end of the rotating member 200 away from the staple cartridge assembly 110 is provided with an arc shape, and the center of the arc-shaped end coincides with the rotation center of the stapler jaw 100. When the stapler jaw 100 rotates, the distance between the end of the rotating member 200 away from the staple cartridge assembly 110 and the fixed rod 400 remains unchanged. For this purpose, a plurality of grooves 210 are provided at intervals on the end of the rotating member 200 away from the staple cartridge assembly 110. An installation hole 312 is opened at one end of the installation block 310 close to the rotating member 200, and the fixed rod 400 is inserted into the installation hole 312. When the fixed rod 400 is in the first position, the fixed rod 400 extends into the groove 210, and the fixed rod 400 locks the rotating member 200 so that it cannot rotate. When the fixed rod 400 is in the second position, the fixed rod 400 disengages from the groove 210, and at this time the rotating member 200 can rotate. The rotating member 200 and the staple cartridge assembly 110 are fixedly connected. By providing the groove 210 and the fixed rod 400 to fix the rotating member 200, the stapler jaw 100 is not easily shaken when clamping human tissues for cutting and suturing, reducing damage to human tissues.

[0041] Reference Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, it can be understood that a spring 313 is provided in the installation hole 312. The extending direction of the installation hole 312 is the same as the extending direction of the sleeve 300. One end of the spring 313 abuts against the fixed rod 400, and the other end abuts against the bottom wall of the installation hole 312. The spring 313 is used to push the fixed rod 400 to move towards the rotating member 200. The spring 313 makes the fixed rod 400 not easily shaken when inserted into the groove 210, so that the stapler jaw 100 is not easily shaken when clamping human tissues for cutting and suturing, reducing damage to human tissues.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that a rotating shaft 220 is connected to the rotating member 200. A strip-shaped hole 510 for the rotating shaft 220 to be embedded is opened at the center of the slider 500. The rotating shaft 220 can move along the strip-shaped hole 510, and the rotating shaft 220 plays a guiding role for the slider 500. When the slider 500 moves, it can stably drive the fixed rod 400 to move in the installation hole 312. It can be foreseen that in some other embodiments, the rotating shaft 220 is rotatably installed on the installation block 310 to achieve stable rotation, and the axis of the rotating shaft 220 coincides with the rotation axis of the stapler jaw 100. When the control rod 311 drives the slider 500 to move, the rotating shaft 220 moves along the strip-shaped hole 510. At this time, the rotating shaft 220 plays a guiding role for the slider 500. The extending direction of the strip-shaped hole 510 is the same as the extending direction of the installation hole 312, so that when the slider 500 moves along the strip-shaped hole 510, it can stably drive the fixed rod 400 to move in the installation hole 312.

[0043] Reference Figure 5 As shown, it can be understood that the slider 500 is symmetrically provided with two insertion holes 520 with the axis of the sleeve 300 as the center, and two control rods 311 are provided and respectively connected to the two insertion holes 520. The movable direction of the control rod 311 is the same as the extension direction of the sleeve 300. The end of the control rod 311 away from the slider 500 extends to the handle of the electric stapler and is driven by a motor. The driving method is a conventional technical means and will not be described in detail.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that the nail magazine assembly 110 is hinged on the sleeve 300 by bolts, and the nail magazine assembly 110 and the sleeve 300 are connected by bolts, which has a simple structure and is easy to assemble.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, it can be understood that a protrusion 410 that can be embedded in the groove 210 is integrally formed at one end of the fixed rod 400 close to the rotating member 200, and the size of the protrusion 410 is set to a size that can just be completely embedded in the groove 210. The groove 210 and the protrusion 410 are tightly matched, so that the stapler jaws 100 are not easy to shake when clamping human tissue for cutting and suturing, thereby reducing damage to human tissue. The height of the protrusion 410 in the direction perpendicular to the rotation of the rotating member 200 is greater than the height of the rotating member 200. When the slider 500 is away from the stapler jaws 100, it can move to abut against the protrusion 410 to drive the fixed rod 400 compression spring 313 to move backward until the protrusion 410 is completely out of the groove 210.

[0046] Reference Figure 5 As shown, it can be understood that the end of the slider 500 close to the staple cartridge assembly 110 is provided with a chamfer so that the rotating member 200 does not collide with the mounting block 310 during rotation, thereby allowing a larger bending angle between the stapler jaw 100 and the sleeve 300.

[0047] Reference Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that the angle of the distribution area of ​​the groove 210 on the rotating member 200 is at least 130 degrees. The prior art uses a steering link or two metal sheets to move in opposite directions to drive the stapler jaw 100 and the sleeve 300 to bend. The steering link is rigidly connected and the length of the force arm between the rotating shaft is limited by space, and the ability of the metal sheet to elastically deform is limited. Therefore, the bending angle between the stapler jaw 100 and the sleeve 300 in the prior art can only reach 45 degrees to 60 degrees. The bending angle between the stapler jaw 100 and the sleeve 300 in the present application can be larger.

[0048] Usage steps: When the stapler jaw 100 needs to be bent and anastomosed, the structure inside the electric stapler handle drives the two control rods 311 to move towards the end away from the stapler jaw 100. The control rod 311 drives the slider 500 to move towards the end away from the stapler jaw 100. After the slider 500 moves to contact the protrusion 410, it will drive the fixed rod 400 to compress the spring 313 and move backward until the protrusion 410 completely disengages from the groove 210. At this time, the stapler jaw 100 can rotate freely, and the angle between the stapler jaw 100 and the sleeve 300 can be changed by means of gravity or touching other objects. When the angle between the stapler jaw 100 and the sleeve 300 changes to the required angle, the structure inside the electric stapler handle drives the two control rods 311 to move towards the end close to the stapler jaw 100. The control rod 311 drives the slider 500 to move towards the end close to the stapler jaw 100. The end of the control rod 311 moves towards the end close to the stapler jaw 100 under the drive of the elastic force of the spring 313 until the protrusion 410 at the end of the control rod 311 close to the stapler jaw 100 is embedded in the groove 210. At this time, the rotating part 200 cannot rotate, and the angle between the stapler jaw 100 and the sleeve 300 is locked in the current position.

[0049] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention within the scope of knowledge possessed by those of ordinary skill in the art.
