[0036] The embodiment of the present application discloses a connection and positioning device and a medical robot.

[0037] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the connection and positioning device includes a connection frame 1 and a connection part 2. One end of the connection frame 1 is used to be connected to the medical robot, and the other end has a first surface 11; the connection part 2 has a second surface 21 opposite to the first surface 11, there is a positioning gap between the first surface 11 and the second surface 21, and the end of the connection part 2 away from the connection frame 1 is used to be fixedly connected to the splint; wherein, among the first surface 11 and the second surface 21, one is distributed with a plurality of positioning grooves 3 at intervals, and the other is provided with positioning parts 4 that can be engaged with the positioning grooves 3 at the positions corresponding to each positioning groove 3.

[0038] Specifically, the connecting frame 1 can be strip-shaped, and one end of it can be bent and extended to be connected to the robotic arm of the medical robot. The two can be of an integral structure or connected by fasteners such as screws. The top wall at the other end of the connecting frame 1 serves as the first surface 11, which can correspond to the second surface 21 of the connecting portion 2, and the two form a positioning gap. The connecting portion 2 is fixedly connected to the splint. The fixing method can be that the two are of an integral structure, or they can be separately connected by means such as screw connection, snap connection or bonding. And a connecting portion 2 is fixedly corresponding to each different type of splint.

[0039] Among the first surface 11 and the second surface 21, a plurality of positioning grooves 3 are opened on one of them. The cross-section of the positioning groove 3 can be rectangular, V-shaped or other shapes, and a positioning portion 4 is provided on the other. The shape of the positioning portion 4 can be rectangular, circular or oval, etc., as long as it can be engaged with the positioning groove 3. For the convenience of processing, the positioning portion 4 can be of an integral structure with the corresponding structure, or the positioning portion 4 can be separately fixed by means of welding, bonding or snap connection. The present application does not limit this.

[0040] In this embodiment, the positioning grooves 3 are opened on the first surface 11, and the positioning portions 4 are provided on the second surface 21. The following will take this as an example to specifically illustrate this solution.

[0041] By setting the first surface 11 and the second surface 21 as planes and relatively spaced apart to form a positioning gap, the positioning portion 4 can be inserted into the positioning groove 3 and can form a stable abutment with the side wall of the positioning groove 3, so that a plurality of positioning portions 4 can be correspondingly engaged in the positioning groove 3. By using the engagement between the positioning portion 4 and the positioning groove 3, the connecting portion 2 and the connecting frame 1 can be quickly positioned together. At this time, the hole positions of the connecting portion 2 and the connecting frame 1 are already correspondingly connected. Whether it is by installing screws or pins, or by setting other installation structures, the disassembly and installation of the connecting frame 1 and the connecting portion 2 can be quickly and simply completed. Thus, when this positioning connection device is in use, through the positioning gap formed by the first surface 11 and the second surface 21 and the engagement between the positioning portion 4 and the positioning groove 3, after installing the corresponding structure to fixedly connect the connecting frame 1 and the connecting portion 2, the two will not be misaligned. Therefore, no additional tools are required for disassembly, and only a small force is needed to remove the corresponding connection structure. And during installation, positioning can also be quickly and simply completed, ensuring that the connection structure can be quickly installed. Thus, during the entire disassembly and installation process, the positioning accuracy can be effectively improved, and at the same time, the operation difficulty can be significantly reduced.

[0042] Optionally, connecting holes 5 are opened on both the first surface 11 and the second surface 21. The two connecting holes 5 are communicated, and a connecting member 6 is inserted into one of the connecting holes 5, and the connecting member 6 is connected to the other connecting hole 5.

[0043] Specifically, through holes are formed by penetrating through the corresponding parts of the connecting frame 1 and the connecting member 6 to form connecting holes 5. Two correspondingly connected connecting holes 5 form a group. According to the actual sizes of the connecting frame 1 and the connecting part 2, multiple groups of connecting holes 5 can be distributed at intervals. A connecting member 6 is inserted into each connecting hole 5. The connecting member 6 can penetrate into the connecting hole 5 from the first surface 11 and be inserted into another connecting hole 5, or can penetrate into the connecting hole 5 from the second surface 21 and be inserted into another connecting hole 5. The connection between the connecting member 6 and another connecting hole 5 can be a threaded connection, a snap connection, an adhesive connection, etc., and the present application does not limit this.

[0044] By correspondingly forming the connecting holes 5 on the first surface 11 and the second surface 21, when the connecting frame 1 and the connecting surface are positioned, the two connecting holes 5 can be correspondingly connected. Moreover, after the installation is completed, under the action of the corresponding positioning structure, the two connecting holes 5 will not be misaligned, so that it can be ensured that the connecting member 6 can be smoothly taken out from the connecting hole 5 or quickly installed into the corresponding connecting hole 5, thereby effectively reducing the difficulty of disassembly and installation.

[0045] Optionally, the connecting member 6 is a connecting screw, and the inner wall of one of the connecting holes 5 is provided with an internal thread for threaded connection with the connecting screw.

[0046] Specifically, the connecting screw penetrates into one of the connecting holes 5, and an internal thread is provided in the connecting hole 5 to form a threaded connection with the connecting screw. In this embodiment, the connecting screw penetrates into the connecting hole 5 of the connecting part 2 from the side of the connecting frame 1 away from the connecting part 2 and is threadedly connected to the connecting hole 5 to fix the connecting frame 1 and the connecting part 2 together.

[0047] Optionally, a plurality of positioning grooves 3 are circumferentially arranged around the connecting hole 5.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting hole 5 is formed in the middle position of the first surface 11, the positioning grooves 3 are formed on the first surface 11, and a plurality of positioning grooves 3 are circumferentially arranged at equal angles around the connecting hole 5. For example, three positioning grooves 3 can be provided, and the three positioning grooves 3 are distributed at intervals of 20°.

[0049] By circumferentially arranging the positioning grooves 3 around the connecting hole 5, when the positioning grooves 3 cooperate with the positioning part 4, it can be ensured that the force is evenly distributed when the connecting part 2 and the connecting frame 1 are positioned, so as to ensure a good positioning effect between the two and reduce the possibility of misalignment due to external force between the two.

[0050] Optionally, the positioning part 4 is spherical and can abut against the opposite groove side walls of the positioning groove 3.

[0051] Specifically, point contacts can be formed between the spherical positioning portion 4 and the opposite groove side walls of the positioning groove 3, and the contact points on both sides are symmetrically distributed, so that the positioning portion 4 can be stably clamped in the positioning groove 3. Coupled with the clamping effect of multiple positioning grooves 3 and positioning portions 4, the positioning of the connecting portion 2 and the connecting frame 1 can be successfully formed.

[0052] Optionally, a fixing portion 41 is annularly provided on the side wall of the positioning portion 4, and the fixing portion 41 is fixedly connected to the first surface 11 or the second surface 21.

[0053] Specifically, the fixing portion 41 is annular, fixed on the side wall of the positioning portion 4, and the two can be of an integral structure, or can be fixed together by welding or bonding. And the fixing portion 41 is fixedly connected to the first surface 11 or the second surface 21, and the fixing method is welding or bonding or integral molding.

[0054] By annularly providing the fixing portion 41 on the side wall of the positioning portion 4, the contact area between the spherical positioning portion 4 and the first surface 11 or the second surface 21 can be effectively increased, so as to ensure that the positioning portion 4 can be stably fixed on the first surface 11 or the second surface 21.

[0055] Optionally, the positioning groove 3 is a V-shaped groove.

[0056] Specifically, the cross-section of the positioning groove 3 is V-shaped, so that the opposite groove side walls of the positioning groove 3 are inclined, so as to better fit the spherical positioning portion 4, thereby ensuring a better clamping effect on the positioning portion 4.

[0057] Optionally, in this embodiment, the positioning portion 4 is provided on the second surface 21 and integrally formed with the connecting portion 2. At this time, the positioning groove 3 is opened on the first surface 11. In another embodiment, the positioning portion 4 is provided on the first surface 11 and integrally formed with the connecting frame 1. At this time, the positioning groove 3 is opened on the second surface 21.

[0058] By integrally forming the positioning portion 4 on the first surface 11 or the second surface 21, the overall production difficulty can be effectively reduced, and at the same time, the connection strength between the two can be improved, ensuring that the positioning portion 4 will not be damaged during positioning.

[0059] Optionally, one side of the connecting portion 2 close to the connecting frame 1 has a mounting groove 22, the bottom wall of the mounting groove 22 is the second surface 21, and at least a part of the end of the connecting frame 1 away from the medical robot is inserted into the mounting groove 22.

[0060] Specifically, the above-mentioned installation groove 22 is formed on the bottom wall of the connecting portion 2, and one side of the installation groove 22 can be open, so that the connecting frame 1 can be smoothly inserted into the installation groove 22. The depth of the installation groove 22 can be less than or equal to the thickness of the connecting frame 1, so that at least part of the connecting frame 1 in the thickness direction is inserted into the installation groove 22, and the groove side wall of the installation groove 22 can be attached to the side wall of the connecting frame 1, thereby improving the positioning accuracy between the connecting portion 2 and the connecting frame 1.

[0061] The medical robot includes a robotic arm, a splint, and a connection positioning device as described in the above embodiment. One end of the connection positioning device is connected to the robotic arm, and the other end is connected to the splint.

[0062] When the medical robot is in use, the splint and the robotic arm can be quickly installed and fixed through the connection positioning device. When the splint needs to be replaced, only the connection positioning device needs to be quickly disassembled and installed, thereby effectively improving the installation and disassembly efficiency of the splint.

[0063] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly explaining the present invention, rather than limiting the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention.
