For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a mechanism for exposure in laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery, including a handle 1, a spreading rod 2 is rotatably mounted on one end of the handle 1, an adjustment mechanism 3 is arranged on the handle 1, the adjustment mechanism 3 is transmission-connected to the spreading rod 2, and the spreading rod 2 has a folding angle parallel to the handle 1 and an spreading angle perpendicular to the handle 1 within its rotational travel.

[0031] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism 3 includes a first sprocket 31 rotatably mounted on one end of the handle 1 away from the expansion rod 2, the expansion rod 2 is rotatably connected to the handle 1 via a rotating shaft 21, a second sprocket 32 ​​is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 21, and the first sprocket 31 and the second sprocket 32 ​​are connected via a chain 33.

[0032] Specifically, the spreading rod 2 is rotatably connected to the handle 1 via a rotating shaft 21. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, one end of the rotating shaft 21 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the spreading rod 2, and the other end of the rotating shaft 21 passes through the interior of the handle 1 and is rotatably connected to the handle 1. A chamber is provided in the handle 1, and the first sprocket 31 and the second sprocket 32 ​​are both located in the chamber, and the first sprocket 31 and the second sprocket 32 ​​are connected by a chain 33. Optionally, a driving member such as a micro motor is installed at a position corresponding to the first sprocket 31 on the handle 1, and the output end of the micro motor is coaxially connected to the first sprocket 31. The first sprocket 31 is driven to rotate to drive the second sprocket 32 ​​to rotate, thereby driving the spreading rod 2 to rotate from the folding angle to the spreading angle. Figure 1 The view of the expansion rod 2 at the expansion angle. Figure 1 When the middle support rod 2 is rotated to a vertical state, it is at a folding angle.

[0033] The embodiment of the utility model provides a mechanism for exposure during laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery. By rotating the expansion rod 2 to install it on the end of the handle 1, when the expansion rod 2 is extended into the surgical site, the expansion rod 2 can be kept parallel to the handle 1, that is, the expansion rod 2 is adjusted to a folding angle to reduce the width of the exposure mechanism. After reaching the surgical site, the expansion rod 2 is driven to rotate according to the surgical needs, and the expansion rod 2 is adjusted to an optimal expansion angle to obtain an optimal surgical field of view.

[0034] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism 3 also includes a knob 34 rotatably mounted on the end of the handle 1 away from the spreading rod 2, an eccentric disk 35 is fixedly connected to one end of the knob 34 located inside the handle 1, a ratchet 36 is coaxially fixedly connected to the first sprocket 31, a pawl 37 is eccentrically mounted on the eccentric disk 35, and when the eccentric disk 35 is driven to rotate, the pawl 37 drives the ratchet 36 to rotate intermittently.

[0035] Preferably, the end of the knob 34 outside the handle 1 is triangular.

[0036] Specifically, the first sprocket 31 is driven by the ratchet 36 mechanism disposed on the handle 1, so that the first sprocket 31 can be driven to rotate intermittently, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the expansion rod 2 to the optimal expansion angle, and the self-locking function of the ratchet 36 mechanism can prevent the expansion rod 2 from rotating in the opposite direction, thereby stably maintaining the expansion rod 2 at the optimal expansion angle.

[0037] In another embodiment of the present invention, both ends of the expansion rod 2 are equipped with air bags 22, the expansion rod 2 is a rod body with a hollow interior and closed at both ends, and a plurality of air holes 23 are opened in the area corresponding to the air bags 22 on the expansion rod 2, the rotating shaft 21 is a hollow rod body, and one end of the rotating shaft 21 is connected to the interior of the expansion rod 2, and an air channel 11 is provided in the handle 1, and the air channel 11 is connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 21.

[0038] Preferably, one end of the rotating shaft 21 corresponding to the air passage 11 is dynamically sealedly connected to the handle 1 .

[0039] Specifically, in the above embodiment, the surgical field of view is expanded only by rotating the expansion rod 2. However, due to the limitation of the diameter of the expansion rod 2, the surgical field of view is small, which is inconvenient for surgery. Increasing the diameter of the expansion rod 2 will lead to a larger surgical incision. In this embodiment, both ends of the expansion rod 2 for expanding the surgical field of view are equipped with air bags 22. The air bags 22 are cylindrical structures with one end semicircular to match the end of the expansion rod 2. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the opening rod 2 and the rotating shaft 21 are both hollow structures, and an air passage 11 is provided in the handle 1, and an air inlet pipe is connected to the end of the air passage 11 to facilitate connection with an external air source such as an air pump. Figure 4As shown, after the surgical exposure mechanism is extended to the surgical site, the expansion rod 2 is first rotated to the optimal expansion angle, and then the two air bags 22 are filled with gas through the air pump to inflate the air bags 22 to increase the expansion area and expand the surgical field of view.

[0040] Further, both ends of the expansion rod 2 are provided with an extension mechanism, and the extension mechanism includes an arc plate 4 symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the expansion rod 2, and the arc plate 4 is fixedly connected with a guide rod 41 corresponding to the arc surface of the expansion rod 2, and the guide rod 41 penetrates into the interior of the expansion rod 2, and the inner wall of the airbag 22 is fixedly connected to the corresponding arc plate 4. Preferably, the arc plate 4 is also provided with air holes 23, and the air holes 23 provided on the arc plate 4 correspond to the air holes 23 provided on the expansion rod 2 one by one, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0041] Preferably, the length of the guide rod 41 is greater than the radius of the cavity in the expansion rod 2. Preferably, the surface of the guide rod 41 is smooth, so that after the operation is completed, the gas in the airbag 22 can be extracted so that the airbag 22 drives the arc plate 4 to contact the surface of the expansion rod 2 again.

[0042] Preferably, the inner diameter of the arc-shaped plate 4 is equal to the outer diameter of the expansion rod 2 .

[0043] Specifically, in the above embodiment, the diameter of the expansion rod 2 is increased by inflating the airbag 22, thereby expanding the surgical field of view. However, the stability of the airbag 22 is poor. The inflated airbag 22 is easily deformed into an irregular shape by the pressure from the human tissue, thereby failing to provide a suitable surgical field of view. In this embodiment, a curved plate 4 is installed on the outside of the expansion rod 2, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, Figure 4 and Figure 7 The middle arc plate 4 is installed on the left and right sides of the opening rod 2. When the airbag 22 is inflated, it will pull the two arc plates 4 to Figure 4 The arc plate 4 is limited by the guide rod 41 and can only move along Figure 4 or Figure 7 The surgical exposure mechanism slides in the horizontal direction, so that the human tissue can be stably opened to ensure the smooth progress of the operation.

[0044] Furthermore, each airbag 22 includes an extension portion 221 and a connecting portion 222, the deformation capacity of the extension portion 221 is greater than that of the connecting portion 222, and two groups of the extension portion 221 and the connecting portion 222 of each airbag 22 are arranged, the extension portion 221 and the connecting portion 222 are arranged alternately, and the connecting portion 222 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the corresponding arc plate 4.

[0045] Specifically, to ensure that the main expansion direction of the airbag 22 can be along Figure 4In the horizontal direction, the airbag 22 is increased after expansion. Figure 4 The airbag 22 has a horizontal dimension and is composed of two materials with different deformation capabilities. Optionally, the connecting portion 222 may be made of a material that has no deformation capability or has low deformation capability. The connecting portion 222 may be connected to the arc plate 4 by bonding. During the expansion of the airbag 22, the change in the overall volume of the airbag 22 is mainly adapted by the deformation of the stretching portion 221.

[0046] The above only describes some exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
