Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a sterile cover storage structure and a surgical robot. Background Art

[0002] Minimally invasive surgery refers to a procedure performed inside the human body using medical instruments such as laparoscopes and thoracoscopes and related equipment. During robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery, doctors use slender minimally invasive instruments to perform the procedure, while maintaining sterile conditions in the area adjacent to the patient.

[0003] In related art, surgical robots are typically covered with two sterile covers connected by a connector to isolate the robot's moving arms from the external surgical environment. To store the two sterile covers, the covers and connector are first disassembled, then folded and secured to the connector using two roll bands. To unfold the two sterile covers, the roll bands are first opened, and then the two covers are placed on the outside of the surgical robot, with the connector connecting to the moving arms.

[0004] However, the sterile cover has the problem of being time-consuming and labor-intensive to store and unfold. Utility Model Content

[0005] The embodiments of the present invention provide a sterile cover storage structure and a surgical robot to solve the problem that the storage and deployment of the sterile cover are time-consuming and labor-intensive.

In the axial direction of the storage body, the first end is closer to the bottom of the storage body than the second end, and the second end abuts the outer wall of the storage body. In this arrangement, the abutment of the second end with the outer wall of the storage body prevents the first cover from being separated from between the clamping portion and the outer wall of the storage body.

[0016] In a possible embodiment, the clamping arm and the outer wall of the storage body enclose a clamping space. In this configuration, the first cover is clamped by the clamping arm in the clamping space, ensuring that the second end of the clamping arm abuts against the outer wall of the storage body.

[0017] In a possible embodiment, the storage portion is plug-connected to the connector, which facilitates installation and removal of the sterile cover storage structure and the connector.

[0018] In one possible embodiment, the storage portion is provided with a plurality of plug-in protrusions, the plurality of plug-in protrusions being located on the top of the storage body and being plugged into the connector. With this arrangement, when the first cover body and the second cover body are stored, the storage portion can be positioned by plugging the plurality of plug-in protrusions into the corresponding plug-in holes.

[0019] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a surgical robot, comprising a first cover body, a second cover body, a connector, and the sterile cover storage structure as described above;

[0020] The clamping portion of the sterile cover storage structure clamps the first cover body, and the receiving portion of the sterile cover storage structure receives the second cover body. The receiving portion is detachably connected to the connector.

[0046] As described in the background art, the storage and deployment of sterile covers is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The inventors have discovered that this problem arises because, when two sterile covers are stored, they need to be fixed to a connector using a rolling band, and when the two sterile covers are deployed, the rolling band needs to be disassembled, making the storage and deployment of the sterile covers time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0047] To address the aforementioned issues, embodiments of the present invention provide a sterile hood storage structure and a surgical robot, each comprising a storage portion and a clamping portion. When two sterile hoods are stored, they are secured by the storage portion and the clamping portion, respectively, eliminating the need for a rolling band to secure the two sterile hoods. This saves time and effort when storing the two sterile hoods. When the two sterile hoods are deployed, they are removed from the storage portion and the clamping portion, respectively, eliminating the need for disassembly of the rolling band. This saves time and effort when deploying the two sterile hoods.

[0048] The sterile cover storage structure and surgical robot provided by the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0049] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a sterile cover storage structure 40, which is used to store a first cover body 10 and a second cover body 20 of a surgical robot. The first cover body 10 and the second cover body 20 are connected by a connector 30.

[0050] See also Figure 3 As shown, the connecting member 30 is detachably connected to the motion arm 100 of the surgical robot. In some examples, the connecting member 30 is snap-connected to the motion arm 100.

[0051] The moving arm 100 includes a first connecting arm and a second connecting arm, and the first connecting arm and the second connecting arm are movably connected.

[0052] The first cover 10 is used to wrap the first connecting arm, and the second cover 20 is used to wrap the second connecting arm.

[0053] A draw hook may be provided on the first cover body 10 for unfolding the first cover body 10 .

[0054] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sterile cover storage structure 40 includes a storage portion 41 and a clamping portion 42 .

[0055] The clamping portion 42 and the receiving portion 41 may be made of plastic.

[0056] The clamping portion 42 is connected to the receiving portion 41. In some examples, the clamping portion 42 is fixedly connected to the receiving portion 41. Exemplarily, the clamping portion 42 and the receiving portion 41 are formed by integral injection molding.

[0057] The clamping portion 42 is used to clamp the first cover 10 of the surgical robot.

[0058] The receiving portion 41 has a receiving cavity 40 a for receiving the second cover 20 of the surgical robot so that the second cover 20 can be fixed in the receiving cavity 40 a.

[0059] The receiving portion 41 is used to be detachably connected to the connecting member 30 between the first cover body 10 and the second cover body 20. It is understandable that the receiving portion 41 and the connecting member 30 can be installed together or separated.

[0060] During operation of the surgical robot, the connecting member 30 is connected to the moving arm 100 , the first cover 10 wraps the first connecting arm of the moving arm 100 , and the second cover 20 wraps the second connecting arm of the moving arm 100 .

[0061] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, when the first cover body 10 and the second cover body 20 are stored, they are connected to the connecting member 30 through the storage portion 41. After the first cover body 10 is folded, it is clamped by the clamping portion 42, and then the connecting member 30 is removed from the moving arm 100. The connecting member 30 and the sterile cover storage structure 40 are separated from the surgical robot, and the second cover body 20 is stored in the storage cavity 40a of the storage portion 41, avoiding fixing the two sterile covers by rolling belts, thereby saving time and effort in storing the first cover body 10 and the second cover body 20.

[0062] It should be noted that the second connecting arm of the movement arm 100 is retractable, that is, the second connecting arm of the movement arm 100 can be extended and shortened. When the first cover 10 and the second cover 20 are stored, the second connecting arm of the movement arm 100 is in a shortened state.

[0063] When the first cover body 10 and the second cover body 20 are unfolded, the connecting piece 30 and the sterile cover storage structure 40 storing the first cover body 10 and the second cover body 20 are moved toward the moving arm 100, and the second cover body 20 is put on the second connecting arm of the moving arm 100 of the surgical robot. The connecting piece 30 is connected to the moving arm 100, and the first cover body 10 is taken out from between the clamping part 42 and the storage part 41 by the retractor and put on the first connecting arm of the moving arm 100, and then the storage part 41 is separated from the connecting piece 30, so that the sterile cover storage structure 40 is separated from the connecting piece 30, avoiding the disassembly of the rolling belt, thereby saving time and effort in unfolding the first cover body 10 and the second cover body 20.

[0064] It should be noted that when the first cover 10 and the second cover 20 are unfolded, the second connecting arm of the moving arm 100 is in a shortened state.

[0065] In a possible implementation, the receiving portion 41 may be cylindrical.

[0066] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the storage portion 41 includes a storage body 411 and a support bottom wall 412. The storage body 411 and the support bottom wall 412 are both cylindrical.

[0067] The top of the storage body 411 is provided with an opening 40b, and the supporting bottom wall 412 is connected to the bottom of the storage body 411. The supporting bottom wall 412 and the storage body 411 form a storage cavity 40a. This arrangement allows the second cover 20 to be stored in the storage cavity 40a through the opening 40b, and the second cover 20 is supported by the supporting bottom wall 412.

[0068] In the axial direction of the storage portion 41, the top of the storage body 411 is opposite to the bottom of the storage body 411. The opening 40b is communicated with the storage cavity 40a.

[0069] The supporting bottom wall 412 may be a supporting plate or a supporting film.

[0070] The storage cavity 40 a passes through the bottom of the storage body 411 , and the supporting bottom wall 412 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage body 411 . The supporting bottom wall 412 can cover the bottom of the storage body 411 .

[0071] In some examples, the supporting bottom wall 412 is a plastic film, and the plastic film is thermally bonded to the storage body 411. In this way, the plastic film and the storage body 411 are connected by thermal bonding, which can form a good sealing effect.

[0072] In a possible embodiment, the storage portion 41 is plug-connected to the connector 30. This arrangement facilitates the installation and removal of the sterile cover storage structure 40 and the connector 30.

[0073] In some examples, the storage portion 41 is provided with a plurality of plug-in protrusions 40c, the plurality of plug-in protrusions being located at the top of the storage body 411, and the plurality of plug-in protrusions 40c being plug-connected with the connector 30. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connector 30 is provided with a plurality of insertion holes 301, and the plurality of insertion holes 301 correspond one to one with the plurality of insertion protrusions 40c, and each insertion protrusion 40c is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 301. In this arrangement, when the first cover 10 and the second cover 20 are aligned, the receiving portion 41 can be positioned by inserting the plurality of insertion protrusions 40c into the corresponding insertion holes 301.

[0074] The plug-in protrusion 40c is fixedly connected to the storage body 411. In some examples, the plug-in protrusion 40c is integrally formed with the storage body 411 by injection molding.

[0075] In the axial direction of the receiving portion 41 , the insertion protrusion 40 c protrudes from the receiving body 411 .

[0076] The plurality of inserting protrusions 40c are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the receiving portion 41. For example, the receiving portion 41 is provided with four inserting protrusions 40c, and the four inserting protrusions 40c are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the receiving portion 41.

[0077] In one possible embodiment, the clamping portion 42 includes a plurality of clamping arms 421, which are located on the outer wall of the storage body 411. The plurality of clamping arms 421 are integrally formed with the storage body 411. In this manner, the plurality of clamping arms 421 can clamp the folded first cover 10 on the outer wall of the storage body 411.

[0078] Furthermore, the plurality of clamping arms 421 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the receiving body 411. In this manner, the plurality of clamping arms 421 spaced apart from each other clamp the first cover 10 in the circumferential direction of the receiving body 411, so that the first cover 10 remains stable.

[0079] In some examples, the plurality of clamping arms 421 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the storage body 411 .

[0080] In one possible embodiment, the clamping arm 421 includes a first end 4211 and a second end 4212 (see Figure 4 In the axial direction of the storage body 411, the first end 4211 is closer to the bottom of the storage body 411 than the second end 4212, and the second end 4212 abuts against the outer wall of the storage body 411. This arrangement prevents the first cover 10 from being separated from between the clamping portion 42 and the outer wall of the storage body 411 by the second end 4212 abutting against the outer wall of the storage body 411.

[0081] Further, see Figure 7 As shown, the clamping arm 421 and the outer wall of the receiving body 411 form a clamping space 422. In this way, the first cover 10 is clamped in the clamping space 422 by the clamping arm 421, which can ensure that the second end 4212 of the clamping arm 421 abuts against the outer wall of the receiving body 411.

[0082] When the first cover body 10 and the second cover body 20 are stored, the multiple plug-in protrusions 40c of the storage part 41 are inserted into the plug-in holes 301 of the connector 30. After the first cover body 10 is folded, it is clamped in the clamping space 422 by the multiple clamping arms 421 of the clamping part 42. Then the connector 30 is removed from the moving arm 100, and the connector 30 and the sterile cover storage structure 40 are separated from the surgical robot. The second cover body 20 is stored in the storage cavity 40a of the storage part 41, avoiding fixing the two sterile covers by rolling belts, thereby saving time and effort in storing the first cover body 10 and the second cover body 20.

[0083] When the first cover body 10 and the second cover body 20 are unfolded, the connecting piece 30 and the sterile cover storage structure 40 storing the first cover body 10 and the second cover body 20 are moved toward the moving arm 100, and the second cover body 20 is put on the second connecting arm of the moving arm 100 of the surgical robot. The connecting piece 30 is connected to the moving arm 100, and the first cover body 10 is taken out from the clamping space 422 and put on the first connecting arm of the moving arm 100. Then, the multiple plug-in protrusions 40c of the storage part 41 are separated from the connecting piece 30 to avoid disassembling the rolling belt, thereby saving time and effort in unfolding the first cover body 10 and the second cover body 20.

[0084] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a surgical robot, comprising a first cover body 10, a second cover body 20, a connecting piece 30 and a sterile cover storage structure 40; the clamping portion 42 of the sterile cover storage structure 40 clamps the first cover body 10, and the storage portion 41 of the sterile cover storage structure 40 stores the second cover body 20, and the storage portion 41 is detachably connected to the connecting piece 30.

[0085] Among them, the sterile cover storage structure 40 in this embodiment has the same structure as the sterile cover storage structure provided in any of the above embodiments, and can bring the same or similar technical effects. They will not be described one by one here, and the details can be referred to the description of the above embodiments.

[0086] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
