[0029] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "connected," "connected," "fixed," etc. used in the present invention should be interpreted broadly. For example, the terms may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection, welding connection; direct connection, indirect connection through an intermediate medium, internal communication between two elements, or interaction between two elements, unless otherwise explicitly defined. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a quick connector assembly of a laparoscopic instrument in a preferred embodiment of the present utility model includes a handle connector 10 and a tool head connector 30, the handle connector 10 and the tool head connector 30 are coaxially installed, one end of the handle connector 10 is provided with a plug-in channel 11, the plug-in channel 11 is provided with a pipeline socket 12 and a locking groove 17 that are sequentially connected along the axial direction, a locking block 13 is provided on one side of the pipeline socket 12 in the circumferential direction, an elastic locking pin 18 is connected to the outer periphery of the handle connector 10, one end of the elastic locking pin 18 is connected to the locking block 13, the handle connector 10 is provided with a card interface 20 arranged at a position corresponding to the elastic locking pin 18, and the card interface 20 is connected to the locking groove 17;

[0031] The outer periphery of the cutter head connector 30 is protruded to form a locking block 31, and the outer periphery of the locking block 31 is provided with a locking groove 36;

[0032] One end of the cutter head connector 30 is inserted into the insertion channel 11 through the pipeline socket 12, and the locking block 31 enters the locking groove 17 through the pipeline socket 12. When the cutter head connector 30 is rotated, the locking block 31 contacts the elastic locking pin 18 through the card interface 20, and the elastic locking pin 18 is locked in the card connection groove 36.

[0033] A laparoscopic instrument, such as Figure 1As shown, the quick connector assembly includes a handle 50, a blade head 51 and a laparoscopic instrument, wherein the handle connector 10 is connected to one end of the handle 50 facing the blade head 51, and the blade head connector 30 is connected to one end of the blade head 51 facing the handle 50.

[0034] In the quick connector assembly of the laparoscopic instrument and the laparoscopic instrument thereof of the present invention, when the handle connector 10 is connected to the cutter head connector 30, the cutter head connector 30 is inserted into the plug-in channel 11 through the pipe socket 12 to achieve connection. Thereafter, the locking block 31 enters the locking groove 17 through the pipe socket 12, and the cutter head connector 30 is rotated. Since only one end of the elastic locking pin 18 is connected to the locking block 13 and the other end is a free movable end, at least a portion of the elastic locking pin 18 is located in the locking groove 17. Then, when the locking block 31 contacts the elastic locking pin 18 through the card interface 20, it only needs to be slightly rotated around the axial direction, and the elastic locking pin 18 can be engaged with the card connection groove 36 to prevent the handle connector 10 and the cutter head connector 30 from rotating relative to each other around the axial direction, thereby achieving circumferential connection limitation between the handle connector 10 and the cutter head connector 30, and the assembly operation is simple. At the same time, the cooperation between the locking block 13 and the locking block 31 also realizes the axial limitation of the handle connector 10 and the cutter head connector 30, thereby ensuring the connection position stability of the handle connector 10 and the cutter head connector 30.

[0035] When the cutter head connector 30 needs to be separated from the handle connector 10, the cutter head connector 30 and the handle connector 10 are rotated relative to each other so that the elastic locking pin 18 slides out of the locking groove 36, and the locking block 31 moves to the pipe socket 12, so that the cutter head connector 30 and the handle connector 10 can be separated axially.

[0036] As one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the outer peripheral surface of the elastic locking pin 18 is arc-shaped, and the shape of the engaging groove 36 is corresponding to the shape of the elastic locking pin 18 .

[0037] Further, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a first limiting surface 32 is provided on the side of the locking block 31 facing the locking block 13, and a second limiting surface 16 is provided on the side of the locking block 13 facing the locking block 31. The first limiting surface 32 is in contact with the second limiting surface 16, thereby realizing axial limitation of the handle connector 10 and the tool head connector 30, and ensuring the stability of the connection position of the handle connector 10 and the tool head connector 30.

[0038] Further, such as Figures 3 to 6As shown, the locking block 31 includes a first locking block 33 and a second locking block 34 connected to the outer circumferential surface of the tool head connector 30, a locking groove 36 is provided in the first locking block 33, and a first limiting surface 32 is provided on the second locking block 34. The locking block 13 includes a first locking block 14 and a second locking block 15, one end of the first locking block 14 and the second locking block 15 are respectively connected to the insertion channel 11, and the other end protrudes radially from the inner wall of the insertion channel 11, the elastic locking pin 18 is connected to the first locking block 14, and the second limiting surface 16 is provided on the second locking block 15. The separate arrangement of the axial limiting structure and the circumferential limiting structure can reduce the risk or impact of stress concentration and improve the stability and reliability of the limiting structure.

[0039] Further, such as Figures 3 and 4 As shown, the first locking block 33 and the second locking block 34 are arranged relatively on the outer peripheral surface of the cutter head connector 30, and the first locking block 14 and the second locking block 15 are relatively connected to the inner wall of the plug-in channel 11, so that the positions of the first locking block 33 and the second locking block 34 are relatively dispersed, and the positions of the first locking block 14 and the second locking block 15 are relatively dispersed, which can reduce the risk or impact of stress concentration and improve the stability and reliability of the limiting structure.

[0040] Further, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the outer circumference of the handle connector 10 is provided with an axially extending relief groove 19. The position of the relief groove 19 corresponds to the position of the locking block 13. The elastic locking pin 18 is installed in the relief groove 19, and the axial projection of the elastic locking pin 18 is located within the axial projection of the locking block 13. The provision of the relief groove 19 allows the elastic locking pin 18 to be installed in the relief groove 19, preventing the elastic locking pin 18 from radially protruding from the outer circumference of the handle connector 10. This reduces the possibility of the elastic locking pin 18 contacting other components or surfaces, thereby reducing wear and damage caused by friction, and helping to extend the service life of the pipe connector and related components.

[0041] Further, such as Figures 3 and 4 As shown, the locking block 31 is connected to the outer periphery of the cutter head connector 30 to form a locking section 35. The shape of the pipe socket 12 corresponds to the shape of the outer peripheral surface of the locking section 35, which can ensure that the cutter head connector 30 is inserted into the handle connector 10. At the same time, after the cutter head connector 30 and the handle connector 10 rotate relative to each other, the pipe socket 12 and the locking section 35 are misaligned with each other, and the initial positioning effect is good.

[0042] Further, such as Figure 3As shown, the tool head connector 30 also includes an insertion section 37, one end of which is connected to the locking section 35. The insertion section 37 is connected to the insertion channel 11, and the locking section 35 is connected to the locking groove 17. The diameter of the end of the insertion section 37 away from the locking section 35 is smaller than the minimum diameter of the locking section 35. The tool head connector 30 is generally truncated cone-shaped. The insertion of the tool head connector 30 into the insertion channel 11 is relatively small, which facilitates the assembly operation of the tool head connector 30 and the handle connector 10.

[0043] Further, such as Figure 6 As shown, the outer circumference of the insertion section 37 is provided with a sealing ring groove 38, and a sealing ring 39 is connected to the sealing ring groove 38. The outer circumference of the sealing ring 39 is in contact with the inner wall of the insertion channel 11. The sealing ring 39 provides additional friction for the connection between the handle connector 10 and the blade connector 30, preventing the handle connector 10 and the blade connector 30 from accidentally falling off or loosening, thereby improving the stability of the connection.

[0044] Further, such as Figure 6 As shown, the handle connector 10 is provided with a pipe connection channel 21 that communicates with the insertion channel 11, and the cutter head connector 30 is provided with a liquid supply channel 40. When the cutter head connector 30 is installed in the insertion channel 11, the pipe connection channel 21 communicates with the liquid supply channel 40. The pipe connection channel 21 is used to connect to a high-pressure water source, which in turn provides high-pressure water to the cutter head 51 through the pipe connection channel 21 and the liquid supply channel 40 to achieve cutting.

[0045] Further, such as Figure 6 As shown, the plug-in channel 11 , the connecting channel 21 and the liquid supply channel 40 are coaxially arranged.

[0046] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention provides a quick connector assembly for a laparoscopic instrument and the laparoscopic instrument thereof. When the handle connector 10 is connected to the tool head connector 30, the tool head connector 30 is inserted into the plug-in channel 11 through the pipe socket 12 to achieve connection. Thereafter, the locking block 31 enters the locking groove 17 through the pipe socket 12, and the tool head connector 30 is rotated. Since only one end of the elastic locking pin 18 is connected to the locking block 13 and the other end is a free movable end, when the locking block 31 contacts the elastic locking pin 18 through the card interface 20, only a slight force is required to continue rotating axially, and the elastic locking pin 18 can be engaged with the card connection groove 36 to prevent the handle connector 10 and the tool head connector 30 from rotating relative to each other axially, thereby achieving circumferential connection limitation of the handle connector 10 and the tool head connector 30, and simple assembly operation. At the same time, the cooperation between the locking block 13 and the locking block 31 also achieves axial limitation of the handle connector 10 and the tool head connector 30, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection position of the handle connector 10 and the tool head connector 30.

[0047] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and replacements can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
