[0025] Such as Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, the robotic arm adopting a rigid transmission structure involved in the present application includes an inverted L-shaped arm rod 2, a first connecting rod 3, a second connecting rod 4, an instrument lifting seat 5, a quick-change seat 6, and a surgical instrument or an endoscope 7.

The quick-change seat 6 can move up and down on the instrument lifting seat 5, and the surgical instrument or the endoscope 7 is assembled at the quick-change seat 6. The above structure is basically the same as the structure of the robotic arm at the surgical end of the patient in the prior art and is not the key point of protection of this patent application.

[0026] The inverted L-shaped arm rod 2 and the first connecting rod 3, the first connecting rod 3 and the second connecting rod 4, and the second connecting rod 4 and the instrument lifting seat 5 are driven by steel belts, so that the inverted L-shaped arm rod 2, the first connecting rod 3, and the second connecting rod 4 form a parallelogram structure and can drive the instrument lifting seat 5 to rotate accordingly.

[0027] A driving motor 8, such as a servo motor, is provided on the inverted L-shaped arm rod 2. The driving motor 8 can drive the first driving wheel 9 to rotate. The first driving wheel 9 and the second driving wheel 11 are driven by a first steel belt 10. The first steel belt 10 is annular and is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral surfaces of the first driving wheel 9 and the second driving wheel 11 respectively. Specifically, the first steel belt 10 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the first driving wheel 9 far from the second driving wheel 11, and the first steel belt 10 at the connection and on both sides thereof can contact the semi-circular circumference of the first driving wheel 9. Similarly, the first steel belt 10 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the second driving wheel 11 far from the first driving wheel 9, and the first steel belt 10 at the connection and on both sides thereof can contact the semi-circular circumference of the second driving wheel 11.

Specifically, the second steel belt 16 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the third driving wheel 15 that is far from the fourth driving wheel 18, and the second steel belt 16 at the connection and on both sides thereof can contact the semi-circumference of the third driving wheel 15. Similarly, the second steel belt 16 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the fourth driving wheel 18 that is far from the third driving wheel 15, and the second steel belt 16 at the connection and on both sides thereof can contact the semi-circumference of the fourth driving wheel 18. Such a structural design can make the connection stable and reliable, realize the precise movement of the parallelogram structure of the robotic arm, and obtain sufficient rigid support during movement. Tensioning blocks 12 are connected to the third driving wheel 15 and the fourth driving wheel 18 through tensioning screws 13 for tensioning the second steel belt 16 on the outer peripheral surfaces of the third driving wheel 15 and the fourth driving wheel 18.

[0030] The inner wall of the fourth driving wheel 18 is connected to the second driving shaft 17 through a third bearing. The second driving shaft 17 is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 3. The second driving shaft 17 passes through the second assembly hole provided on the first connecting rod 3 and the third assembly hole on the second connecting rod 4. The other end of the second driving shaft 17 is located in the inner cavity of the second connecting rod 4. The fourth driving wheel 18 passes through the second assembly hole and is fixedly connected to the second connecting rod 4. A fifth driving wheel 19 is fixedly provided on the second driving shaft 17 in the inner cavity of the second connecting rod 4.

[0031] The fifth driving wheel 19 and the sixth driving wheel 22 are driven by a third steel belt 20. The third steel belt 20 is annular. The third steel belt 20 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral surfaces of the fifth driving wheel 19 and the sixth driving wheel 22 respectively.

Such a structural design can make the connection stable and reliable, realize the precise movement of the parallelogram structure of the robotic arm, and obtain sufficient rigid support during movement. Tensioning blocks 12 are connected to the fifth driving wheel 19 and the sixth driving wheel 22 through tensioning screws 13 for tensioning the third steel belt 20 on the outer peripheral surfaces of the fifth driving wheel 19 and the sixth driving wheel 22.

[0032] The sixth drive wheel 22 is connected to the third drive shaft 21 via a fourth bearing. The third drive shaft 21 is fixed to the second connecting rod 4. The sixth drive wheel 22 passes through a fourth assembly hole provided in the second connecting rod 4 and is fixedly connected to an adapter seat 23, and the adapter seat 23 is also fixedly connected to the instrument lifting seat 5.

[0033] To improve the transmission accuracy, a first set of tension sensors is provided in the inverted L-shaped arm rod 2 for detecting the tension of the first steel belt 10. Based on the fact that the first steel belt 10 is annular, the first set of tension sensors includes two tension sensors (denoted as the first tension sensor 24 and the second tension sensor 25), which are respectively used to detect the tension of two segments of the first steel belt 10 located between the first drive wheel 9 and the second drive wheel 11. The first set of tension sensors is connected to a control unit. The tension sensors can adopt pulley tension sensors of model LZ-ZL6. Each tension sensor in the first set of tension sensors will read the reverse pressure value of the first steel belt 10 and transmit it to the control unit as a parameter for judging whether the robotic arm can work normally. If the pressure value becomes smaller and is less than the set lower limit pressure, the control unit will send a pressure alarm signal and terminate the movement of the robotic arm.

[0034] Similarly, a second set of tension sensors is provided in the first connecting rod 3 for detecting the tension of the second steel belt 16. Based on the fact that the second steel belt 16 is annular, the second set of tension sensors includes two tension sensors (denoted as the third tension sensor 26 and the fourth tension sensor 27), which are respectively used to detect the tension of two segments of the second steel belt 16 located between the third drive wheel 15 and the fourth drive wheel 18. The second set of tension sensors is connected to a control unit. The tension sensors can adopt pulley tension sensors of model LZ-ZL6. Each tension sensor in the second set of tension sensors will read the reverse pressure value of the second steel belt 16 and transmit it to the control unit as a parameter for judging whether the robotic arm can work normally. If the pressure value becomes smaller and is less than the set lower limit pressure, the control unit will send a pressure alarm signal and terminate the movement of the robotic arm.

[0035] In the second link 4, a third set of tension sensors is provided for detecting the tension of the third steel belt 20. Based on the fact that the third steel belt 20 is in a ring shape, the third set of tension sensors includes two tension sensors (denoted as the fifth tension sensor 28 and the sixth tension sensor 29), which are respectively used for detecting the tension of two segments of the third steel belt 20 located between the fifth driving wheel 19 and the sixth driving wheel 22. The third set of tension sensors is connected to the control unit. The tension sensors can adopt pulley tension sensors of model LZ-ZL6. Each tension sensor in the third set of tension sensors will read the reverse pressure value of the third steel belt 20 and transmit it to the control unit as a parameter for judging whether the robotic arm can work normally. If the pressure value becomes smaller and is less than the set lower limit pressure, the control unit will send out a pressure alarm signal and terminate the movement of the robotic arm.

[0036] To further improve the safety of transmission, the first steel belt 10, the second steel belt 16, and the third steel belt 20 all adopt a double-layer steel belt superimposed structure, and such a design can also improve the transmission accuracy.

[0037] During the specific use process, assume that the robotic arm is in the retracted state. Control the driving motor 8 to act, so that the first driving wheel 9 rotates in the reverse direction around the first axis by a certain angle. The direction of the first driving wheel 9 rotating counterclockwise is denoted as the reverse direction, and the direction of the first driving wheel 9 rotating clockwise is denoted as the forward direction. Through the transmission of the first steel belt 10, it can drive the second driving wheel 11 together with the first drive shaft 14 and the first link 3 to rotate in the reverse direction around the second axis. The second axis is parallel to the first axis; since the third driving wheel 15 is fixed on the inverted L-shaped arm 2 and does not move, when the first link 3 rotates in the reverse direction around the second axis, it will cause the fourth driving wheel 18 to rotate in the forward direction around the third axis. The third axis is parallel to the second axis. The fourth driving wheel 18 drives the second link 4 to rotate in the forward direction around the third axis by the same angle; since the second drive shaft 17 is fixed on the first link 3 and the fifth driving wheel 19 is fixed on the second drive shaft 17, when the second link 4 rotates in the forward direction around the third axis, the sixth driving wheel 22 will rotate in the reverse direction around the fourth axis. The fourth axis is parallel to the third axis; the sixth driving wheel 22 drives the instrument lifting seat 5 to rotate in the reverse direction around the fourth axis by the same angle through the adapter seat 23. At this time, the robotic arm is in the deployed state. The above actions meet the requirement of the parallelogram structure rotating by a certain angle around the fixed point.

[0038] The robotic arm adopting a rigid transmission structure involved in the present application has the characteristics of simple structure, convenient use, low cost, easy installation and debugging, good transmission effect, high safety performance, etc. By adopting a rigid transmission structure, not only the overall rigidity of the parallelogram link transmission mechanism of the robotic arm is improved, but also the robotic arm and the end surgical instrument can be transmitted in place quickly, accurately and smoothly, reducing the surgical operation error and enhancing the accuracy and safety of the surgical operation.

[0039] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present application, according to the technical solution and concept of the present application, making equivalent substitutions or changes, should be covered by the protection scope of the present application.
