[0002] Staplers are medical devices that replace manual suturing. Due to the development of modern science and technology and the improvement of manufacturing technology, the staplers currently used in clinical practice are of reliable quality, easy to use, tight, and of appropriate tightness. In particular, they have the advantages of fast suturing, simple operation, and few side effects and surgical complications. They have also made it possible to remove tumors that were previously inoperable, and are highly favored and praised by clinical surgeons at home and abroad. The main working principle of the stapler is to use titanium nails to sever or staple tissues, similar to a stapler. Since the front end of the stapler is usually a straight rod, the straight rod is usually unable to match and staple the lesion well. In order to adapt to more application environments and to achieve the suturing process in a surgical environment with limited space and limited angles when the surgical space and angle are limited, it is necessary to design a stapler with a bending mechanism so that the front end rod-shaped actuator of the stapler can be bent.

[0031] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0032] See also Figures 1 to 7 The embodiment of the present application discloses a bending mechanism, comprising: a knob housing 1, a transmission assembly 3, a steering assembly 4, and a locking assembly 5; the knob housing 1 is rotatably connected to an operating knob 2, and a mounting cavity 11 is provided in the knob housing 1; the transmission assembly 3 comprises a rotating shaft 31, a driving gear 32, a first sliding rack 33 and a transmission pull rod 34, one end of the rotating shaft 31 is connected to the operating knob 2, the other end of the rotating shaft 31 is connected to the driving gear 32, the first sliding rack 33 is slidably arranged in the mounting cavity 11 and is connected to the The driving gear 32 is engaged in transmission, one end of the transmission rod 34 is connected to the first sliding rack 33, and the other end of the transmission rod 34 passes through the mounting cavity 11; the steering assembly 4 includes a second sliding rack 41 and a steering gear 42, the second sliding rack 41 is connected to the end of the transmission rod 34 away from the mounting cavity 11, the steering gear 42 is engaged in transmission on the second sliding rack 41 and is used to drive the steering actuator to turn; the locking assembly 5 is installed in the mounting cavity 11 and is used to lock the rotation of the driving gear 32.
[0033] As can be seen from the above, by turning the operating knob 2, the operating knob 2 drives the driving gear 32 to rotate through the rotating shaft 31, and the driving gear 32 drives the first sliding rack 33 in the mounting cavity 11 to slide. The first sliding rack 33 drives the movement of the second sliding rack 41 through the transmission rod 34, and the second sliding rack 41 drives the rotation and steering of the steering gear 42, thereby realizing the turning of the steering actuator. The gear and rack are engaged and transmitted, and the structure is stable and reliable, thereby improving the turning stability of the steering actuator.
[0034] See also Figure 5 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the locking assembly 5 includes a main gear disc 51, a locking block 52 and a driving member. The main gear disc 51 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 31. The main gear disc 51 is provided with seven tooth grooves 511 distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction. The locking block 52 is slidably connected in the mounting cavity 11. The locking block 52 is provided with a convex tooth 521 that fits into the tooth groove 511. The driving member is installed in the mounting cavity 11 and is used to drive the convex tooth 521 of the locking block 52 to move toward the tooth groove 511, thereby enabling the locking assembly 5 to lock the driving gear 32. The tooth groove 511 and the convex tooth 521 cooperate reliably, thereby improving the stability of the locking.
[0035] Specifically, the driving member is a spring 53, one end of the spring 53 is connected to the knob housing 1, and the other end of the spring 53 is connected to the locking block 52. The rebound direction of the spring 53 is set in the same direction as the sliding direction of the locking block 52, thereby providing a stable driving force for the locking block 52, and at the same time facilitating the compression of the spring 53, which is conducive to turning the operating knob 2.

Specifically, the operating knob 2 and the secondary toothed disc 21 are integrally molded from plastic. This means that the friction between the plastic and metal components creates a noticeable sound, providing a signal to the user. Furthermore, the user can clearly feel the action and reaction forces, providing feedback to the user and facilitating operation.
