Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of surgical robot arms, in particular to an immersion device for surgical robot arms. Background Art

[0002] The da Vinci robot surgical system is an advanced minimally invasive technology in the development of surgery in recent years and is widely used in multiple fields such as urology, general surgery, and thoracic surgery.

[0003] Due to the characteristics of the robotic surgical operating instruments, such as their fine and complex structure, long and slender lumens, many movable joints, and non-detachable nature, they are often contaminated with blood, mucus, etc. after use, and are extremely likely to be hidden and adhered to the inner wall of the instruments, making cleaning more difficult and there are cleaning blind spots.

[0004] The cleaning difficulty and effect are the main manifestations affected by the pre-treatment time of the instruments. If pre-treatment is carried out in a timely manner after the instruments are used, including removing surface dirt and performing moisturizing treatment, the cleaning difficulty can be significantly reduced and the cleaning effect can be improved. It has been found in the research that immersing the instruments in a multi-enzyme solution for pre-treatment after surgery can prevent dirt from drying and reduce the attachment of organic matter, making it easier for the cleaning agent to penetrate and play a role. If the pre-treatment is not done well, the subsequent cleaning difficulty will increase greatly.

[0005] Due to the special structure of the da Vinci robot arm instruments, the official recommended immersion time is 30 minutes, and the maximum cannot exceed 40 minutes. If the immersion time is too short, it will not work. If the immersion time is too long, it will corrode and damage the surface of the robot arm. And there is a lack of an immersion device with a controllable time for surgical robot arms in the prior art.

[0006] A Chinese utility model with a publication date of January 24, 2023 and a publication number of CN218361045U discloses a surgical instrument cleaning device, including a chassis and a turnover wire mesh frame. A multi-enzyme solution immersion tank, a disinfectant cleaning tank, and a drying tank are sequentially arranged in the chassis. The tops of the multi-enzyme solution immersion tank, the disinfectant cleaning tank, and the drying tank are respectively installed with top covers through hinges, and a fan is installed on the inner surface of the top cover of the drying tank. A stirrer is installed in the multi-enzyme solution immersion tank.

[0007] However, this surgical instrument cleaning device is not convenient for controlling the time of the surgical robot arm. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In view of the above technical problems, the utility model provides an immersion device for surgical robot arms to solve the problem that the existing surgical instrument cleaning device is not convenient for controlling the immersion time of surgical robot arms.

[0009] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the utility model is realized as follows:

[0010] An immersion device for a surgical robot arm, comprising an immersion box for containing enzyme solution. A support part for supporting the surgical robot arm is provided on the immersion box, and a lifting support mechanism for supporting the surgical robot arm is also provided on the immersion box. The lifting support mechanism is electrically connected to a timer for the timed operation of the lifting support mechanism to drive the front part of the surgical robot arm to enter or leave the enzyme solution. In the utility model, the support part and the lifting support mechanism are used as two support points for supporting the surgical robot arm, forming a lever structure. By lifting the lifting support mechanism, one of the support points is lifted, and the front part of the surgical robot arm swings around the other support point, so that the front part of the surgical robot arm can conveniently enter or leave the enzyme solution. At the same time, through the action of the timer, after reaching the set time, the surgical robot arm leaves the enzyme solution, avoiding the too long immersion time caused by the failure to take out the surgical robot arm from the enzyme solution in time.

[0011] Further, in order to facilitate the lifting of one end of the surgical robot arm, the lifting support mechanism includes a limit support member movably arranged outside the immersion box and a driving member for driving the limit support member to lift.

[0012] Further, in order to enable the limit support member to automatically clamp the surgical robot arm and be convenient to open, the limit support member is an elastic clip.

[0013] Further, the driving member is an electric push rod or a telescopic cylinder or a linear module.

[0014] Further, in order to facilitate the timed control of the operation of the driving member, a controller is also included, and the driving member is electrically connected to the timer and the controller.

[0015] Further, in order to facilitate the support and placement of the surgical robot arm in the box body of the immersion box, the support part is an opening groove provided on the edge of the box body of the immersion box.

[0016] Further, in order to perform unified timing immersion on multiple surgical robot arms at the same time, a plurality of opening grooves are provided on the edge of the box body of the immersion box, and the limit support members correspond to the opening grooves one by one.

[0017] Further, in order to make the lifting of a plurality of limit support members more stable, a support plate is provided on the outer side of the box body of the immersion box. The limit support members are respectively connected to the driving member through sliding rods, and the sliding rods are slidably arranged on the support plate.

[0018] Further, in order to control the lifting of a plurality of limit support members simultaneously, push rods are connected to the lower ends of the sliding rods, and the push rods are connected to the working ends of the driving member.

[0019] Further, in order to make the enzyme solution uniform or improve the enzyme washing efficiency, a stirrer or an ultrasonic generator is provided in the soaking box.

[0020] Advantages of the present utility model:

[0021] 1. The present utility model uses the support part and the lifting support mechanism as two support points for supporting the surgical robot arm, forming a lever structure. By lifting the lifting support mechanism, one of the support points is lifted, and the front part of the surgical robot arm swings around the other support point, so that the front part of the surgical robot arm can conveniently enter or leave the enzyme solution.

[0022] 2. Through the function of the timer in the present utility model, after reaching the set time, the lifting support mechanism drives the front part of the surgical robot arm to leave the enzyme solution, avoiding the too long soaking time caused by the failure to take out the surgical robot arm from the enzyme solution in time; and also avoiding the trouble caused by manual timing.

[0023] 3. By setting the elastic clip in the present utility model, it is convenient to open the elastic clip to put in the surgical robot arm and then automatically clamp the surgical robot arm.
