Description

[0002] In actual use, electric laparoscopic staplers are powered by batteries. However, according to national safety standards and regulations, such devices must pass a withstand voltage test. This means that when the device is subjected to a voltage of 1000V, the output current of the connected laparoscopic stapler assembly must not exceed 2mA to ensure safety.

[0003] Since the designed electric laparoscopic stapler uses a metal motor gearbox, it is easy to form an additional conductive path through metal contact during the voltage test, thereby increasing the current, causing the current to exceed the expected peak during the voltage test and fail to meet safety standards.

[0004] For insulation isolation, the current market mainly uses plastic motor gearboxes. Compared with metal gearboxes, plastic motor gearboxes have some inherent defects, mainly including:

[0005] The low thermal conductivity of plastic materials results in poor thermal conductivity of the motor, and heat cannot be dissipated in time, affecting its lifespan; the strength and stiffness of plastic materials are relatively low, and they are prone to deformation when the torque is too large. Deformation will further affect the transmission efficiency, resulting in unstable transmission efficiency. Utility Model Content
