[0002] In minimally invasive laparoscopic human surgeries, there are single-port operation channels and multi-port operation channels. The single-port combined operation channel makes an incision of 3-4 cm in the human abdominal cavity, clips the combined operation channel at the single-port entrance into the incision, and the surgical instruments enter the human body through the combined operation channel. During the operation, for the lesions found inside the human body that need to be excised, if massive bleeding occurs in blood vessels or a certain part needs coagulation during the excision process, the instrument is also required to have the function of coagulation.

[0003] Currently, for the bipolar coagulation forceps, the surgical operation steps are cumbersome, and the 360° rotation of the bipolar forceps head cannot be achieved, which will cause wire entanglement, lack of convenience, affect the clamping movement, and lead to poor surgical results.

[0023] To further understand the content of the present utility model, the following will describe the present utility model in detail with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0024] As Figure 1-2 shown, a bipolar electrocoagulation forceps includes a forceps head 1, a forceps rod 2 and a handle 5. The forceps head 1 is arranged at one end of the forceps rod 2, and the handle 5 is arranged at the other end of the forceps rod 2 away from the forceps head 1. The forceps head 1 is used to contact the diseased tissue of the patient, and high - frequency electric energy can be applied to the forceps head 1 to evaporate, dry or cauterize the tissue between the forceps heads 2, so as to realize the blood coagulation function of the bipolar electrocoagulation forceps. The handle 5 is used to control the opening and closing of the forceps head 1. The bipolar electrocoagulation forceps further includes a forceps head control assembly. The forceps head control assembly is arranged inside the handle 5 and includes a pull rod 4, a commutator, a knob 3 and a trigger 6. The commutator includes a first commutator 8 and a second commutator 10. The first commutator 8 and the second commutator 10 are respectively electrically connected to the two forceps heads 1 to realize the function of coagulating the tissue of the bipolar electrocoagulation forceps.

[0025] The materials of the first commutator 8 and the second commutator 10 can be cobalt - based alloy, titanium - based alloy, stainless steel, shape memory alloy, or any other material that can achieve the same function.

[0026] As Figure 3 shown, a bipolar electrocoagulation forceps further includes a forceps rod fixing seat 7. The forceps rod fixing seat 7 is fixedly connected to the forceps rod 2. A protrusion is arranged on the side surface of the forceps rod fixing seat 7, and the protrusion protrudes from the first commutator 8. The forceps rod fixing seat 7 is rotatably clamped inside the first commutator 8 through the protrusion. As Figure 1-3 shown, a bipolar electrocoagulation forceps further includes a knob 3. The knob 3 is arranged in a gear shape and is fixedly connected to the forceps rod 2. The knob 3 is arranged outside the handle 5, and the operator can control the rotation of the forceps head 1 and the forceps rod 2 through the knob 3.

[0027] As Figure 3As shown, the first commutator 8 and the second commutator 10 are both configured to be C-shaped, the inner diameter of the first commutator 8 is larger than the inner diameter of the second commutator 10, and the first commutator 8 and the second commutator 10 are both configured to be flexible structures. The flexible portion of the first commutator 8 contacts the clamp rod fixing seat 7 to achieve electrical connection between the clamp rod fixing seat 7 and the first commutator 8, and the flexible portion of the second commutator 10 contacts the pull rod 4 to achieve electrical connection between the pull rod 4 and the second commutator 10.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the surface of the part of the pull rod 4 between the first commutator 8 and the second commutator 10 is covered with an insulating layer 9, and the function of the insulating layer 9 is to electrically isolate the pull rod 4 from the clamp rod fixing seat 7, thereby preventing a short circuit from occurring at the contact point between the pull rod 4 and the clamp rod fixing seat 7. The insulating layer 9 can be made of polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, or any other material that can achieve the same effect.

[0029] When the knob 3 is rotated, the knob 3 drives the pliers head 1, the pliers rod 2 and the pull rod 4 to rotate. The pliers rod fixing seat 7 is fixedly connected to the pliers rod 2. When the pliers rod 2 rotates, the pliers rod fixing seat 7 will be driven to rotate in the first commutator 8. At the same time, because the side of the pliers rod fixing seat 7 is provided with a protrusion, it can be ensured that when the pliers rod fixing seat 7 rotates in the first commutator 8, it will not be separated from the first commutator 8, thereby ensuring the stability of the structure; by setting the commutator part as a flexible structure, it can be ensured that the pliers rod fixing seat 7 is clamped in the first commutator 8 and the pull rod 4 is clamped in the second commutator 10. When the knob 3 is rotated to drive the pliers rod fixing seat 7 and the pull rod 4 to rotate, it can be ensured that the pliers rod fixing seat 7 will not be separated from the contact with the first commutator 8, and the pull rod 4 will not be separated from the contact with the second commutator 10, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrical connection between the pliers rod fixing seat 7 and the first commutator 8, and the pull rod 4 and the second commutator 10.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the second commutator 10 includes a first horizontal portion 10-1 that is close to the handle 5, a first vertical portion 10-2 is respectively arranged on both sides of the first horizontal portion 10-1, a second horizontal portion 10-3 is arranged on the side of the first vertical portion 10-2 away from the first horizontal portion 10-1, and a second vertical portion 10-4 is arranged on the side of the second horizontal portion 10-3 away from the first vertical portion 10-2. The first vertical portion 10-2, the second horizontal portion 10-3 and the second vertical portion 10-4 together form a C-shaped structure bent toward the inside of the second commutator 10, and the edge of the second vertical portion 10-4 of the second commutator 10 is arranged to be bent inwardly toward the first vertical portion 10-2; as shown Figure 1-2 As shown, the trigger 6 is in transmission connection with the pull rod 4 , and the operator can pull the trigger 6 to drive the pull rod 4 to retreat, thereby opening the pliers head 1 .

[0031] By setting the commutator to a C shape, the structure is made simpler, facilitating disassembly and assembly. By setting the second vertical portion 10-4 of the second commutator 10 to be bent inward, the friction between the trigger 6 driving the pull rod 4 to move back and forth and the second vertical portion 10-4 can be reduced, ensuring the smooth movement of the pull rod 4 back and forth, reducing the wear of the instrument, and further ensuring the stability of the electrical connection between the pull rod 4 and the second commutator 10.

[0032] As Figure 1-3 described, an electrosurgical instrument includes an energy platform and an externally connected electrocoagulation forceps, and the externally connected electrocoagulation forceps is the bipolar electrocoagulation forceps described above in this embodiment.

[0033] The above content described in this specification is only an example of the structure of the present invention. Those skilled in the technical field to which the present invention pertains can make various modifications or supplements to the specific embodiments described or use similar methods for substitution, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by this claim book, they all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
