[0036] During the specific use process, control the movement of the swing motor 2-2 to make the first gear 2-5 rotate forward around the first axis 6-1 by a certain angle. Through the transmission of the second gear 2-6 and the third gear 2-9, the fourth gear 2-10 can be driven to rotate forward around the second axis 6-2, and the second axis 6-2 is parallel to the first axis 6-1; the fourth gear 2-10 drives the first connecting rod 2-3 to rotate forward around the second axis 6-2 through the first drive shaft 2-39; since the first bushing 2-38 is fixed, and the first connecting rod 2-3 rotates forward around the second axis 6-2, the fifth gear 2-12 will rotate reversely around the third axis 6-3 through the transmission of the eighth gear 2-8 and the sixth gear 2-14. The third axis 6-3 is parallel to the second axis 6-2, and the fifth gear 2-12 drives the second connecting rod 2-4 to rotate reversely around the third axis 6-3 by the same angle; since the second drive shaft 2-40 is fixed on the first connecting rod 2-3, and the second connecting rod 2-4 rotates reversely around the third axis 6-3, the twelfth gear 2-19 will be driven to rotate forward around the fourth axis 6-4 through the transmission of the tenth gear 2-15 and the eleventh gear 2-18. The fourth axis 6-4 is parallel to the third axis 6-3; the twelfth gear 2-19 drives the instrument lifting seat 2-49 to rotate forward around the fourth axis 6-4 by the same angle through the adapter seat 2-48. The above actions meet the requirement of the parallelogram structure rotating by a certain angle around the fixed point.

[0037] In the robotic arm at the patient operation end of the minimally invasive surgical robot involving gear transmission in this application, the inverted L-shaped arm, the first connecting rod, and the second connecting rod form a parallelogram mechanism for realizing the movement of the surgical instrument or the endoscope around the fixed point. Due to the relatively long transmission distance of the parallelogram structure, the transmission mode between the inverted L-shaped arm, the first connecting rod, and the second connecting rod is designed as gear transmission, which solves the problems of jitter and poor transmission accuracy caused by insufficient rigidity of the existing wire transmission, and also solves the problem of transmission failure caused by the fracture of the steel wire rope.

[0038] The above is only the preferred specific implementation manner of this application, but the protection scope of this application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application, according to the technical solution and its concept of this application, makes equivalent replacements or changes, and all should be covered within the protection scope of this application.
