Description

Technical Field

[0002] Laparoscopic staplers have seen rapid growth in recent years, occupying a crucial position in minimally invasive surgery. However, due to limitations in technology and materials, the stapler cartridges of early laparoscopic staplers were not designed to bend, limiting their ability to cut and suture along a straight line. With the advancement of materials and technology, laparoscopic staplers with bendable cartridges have been developed, and now occupy a majority of the market share. However, the performance of laparoscopic staplers on the market varies significantly, with the bendable angles of the cartridges varying widely. Excessive bending angles increase the firing force, while too small bending angles reduce their practicality.

[0003] Existing solutions for laparoscopic staplers with flexible cartridges typically use a single-joint bending assembly controlled by a connecting rod. This connecting rod connects the cartridge to the other side, and pushing the connecting rod from one side causes the cartridge to bend. While this single-joint bending assembly is simple, it also results in a large bending curvature, which increases the firing force and affects the firing feel, presenting unavoidable technical drawbacks.

[0004] How to solve the technical problem of larger bending angles in the existing technology is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0055] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0056] In this document, “upper”, “lower”, etc. are only used to indicate the relative position relationship between related parts, rather than to limit the absolute positions of these related parts.

[0057] The end of each component closer to the operator is defined as the proximal end, and the end farther from the operator is defined as the distal end. The expressions proximal end and distal end are only used to simplify and clarify the description and should not be construed as any limitation to the present invention.

[0058] like Figure 1-30 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a bending assembly, wherein the proximal end of the bending assembly is connected to the transmission assembly 1, and the distal end of the bending assembly is connected to the nail magazine assembly 2. The bending assembly includes a bending joint assembly, a first flexible sheet 110, a second flexible sheet 1110, a connecting rod 106, a secondary connecting rod 107, and a steering connecting rod 108. The proximal end of the steering connecting rod 108 is connected to the distal end of the connecting rod 106, and the proximal end of the connecting rod 106 is connected to the distal end of the first flexible sheet 110. After the first flexible sheet 110 passes through the bending joint assembly, it is connected to the proximal end of the bending joint assembly; the proximal end of the secondary connecting rod 107 is connected to the distal end of the second flexible sheet 1110. After the second flexible sheet 1110 passes through the bending joint assembly, it is connected to the proximal end of the bending joint assembly.

[0059] Here, there is no steering link on the secondary link 107 side; the secondary link relies on gear meshing to provide force. The distal end of the secondary link 107 is connected to the second flexible sheet 1110 via the sixth mounting post 1072. The first and second flexible sheets 1110 are locked to the twelfth mounting holes 1151 on either side of the second bending joint 115 via knurled pins 111.

[0060] The bending joint assembly includes a first bending joint 114, a second bending joint 115, a first bending gear set, and a second bending gear set. The first bending gear set and the second bending gear set connect the first bending joint 114 to the nail magazine inner core 101 and the nail magazine inner core lower cover 102. The first bending gear group includes a first bending gear 112 and a second bending gear 1112. The first bending gear 112 is located on the upper surface of the first bending joint 114, and the second bending gear 1112 is located on the lower surface of the first bending joint 114. The first bending gear 112 and the second bending gear 1112 connect the first bending joint 114 to the nail magazine inner core 101 and the nail magazine inner core lower cover 102; specifically, the first mounting hole 1121 of the first bending gear 112 is mounted on the first mounting pillar 1141 on the first bending joint 114, and the first limiting block 1123 of the first bending gear 112 is mounted in the first limiting groove 1015 on the nail magazine inner core 101; the second mounting hole 11121 of the second bending gear 1112 is mounted on the second mounting pillar 1146 under the first bending joint 114, and the second limiting block 11123 of the second bending gear 1112 is mounted in the second limiting groove 1021 on the nail magazine inner core lower cover 102.

[0061] The second bending gear group includes a third bending gear 116 and a fourth bending gear 117. The third bending gear 116 is located on the upper surface of the second bending joint 115. The third tooth shape 1162 of the third bending gear 116 is engaged with the first tooth shape 1122 on the first bending gear 112. The fourth bending gear 117 is located on the lower surface of the second bending joint 115. The fourth tooth shape 1172 of the fourth bending gear 117 is engaged with the second tooth shape 11122 on the second bending gear 1112.

[0062] The third mounting hole 1161 of the third bending gear 116 is mounted on the third mounting post 1142 at the upper end of the first bending joint 114. The third bending gear 116 is then placed on the upper end of the second bending joint 115. The fourth mounting hole 1164 of the third bending gear 116 aligns with the fifth mounting hole 1152 on the second bending joint 115, and the third tooth profile 1162 of the third bending gear 116 engages with the first tooth profile 1122 on the upper end of the first bending gear 112. The third and fourth bending gears 116 and 117 are locked to the second bending joint 115. The third and fourth bending gears 116 and 117 have third and sixth mounting holes 1161 and 1171, respectively, and are mounted on the third and fourth mounting posts 1142 and 1147, symmetrically located above and below the first bending joint 114.

[0063] Similarly, the sixth mounting hole 1171 of the fourth bending gear 117 is installed on the fourth mounting pillar 1147 at the lower end of the first bending joint 114, and the fourth bending gear 117 is placed at the lower end of the second bending joint 115. At this time, the seventh mounting hole 1174 of the fourth bending gear 117 is aligned with the eighth mounting hole 1156 on the second bending joint 115, and the fifth tooth shape 1172 of the fourth bending gear 117 is engaged with the second tooth shape 11122 on the second bending gear 1112.

[0064] The third bending gear 116 is provided with two fourth mounting holes 1164, the second bending joint 115 is also provided with two corresponding fifth mounting holes 1152, and the fourth bending gear 117 is provided with two corresponding seventh mounting holes 1174. The two first pins 118 are respectively inserted into the two fourth mounting holes 1164 of the third bending gear 116, and the first pins 118 pass through the third bending gear 116, the second bending joint 115 and the fourth bending gear 117 in sequence. The pin cap 1181 of the first pin 118 is located in the first pin slot 1163 of the third bending gear 116, and the rivet seat 1182 of the first pin 118 passes through the seventh mounting hole 1174 of the fourth bending gear 117 and is located in the second pin slot 1173 of the fourth bending gear 117. The rivet seat 1182 of the first pin 118 is flattened by a riveting machine to lock the first bending joint 114, the second bending joint 115, the third bending gear 116 and the fourth bending gear 117 together. In the present utility model, when the third bending gear 116 and the fourth bending gear 117 are installed on the second bending joint 115, the first bending joint 114 needs to be locked in the third mounting hole 1161 and the sixth mounting hole 1171 at the same time.

[0065] When the third bending gear 116 is engaged with the first bending gear 112, the second bending joint assembly performs planetary gear motion around the center of the first tooth profile 1122 of the first bending gear 112, i.e., the center of the first mounting hole 1121; at the same time, one end of the first bending joint 114 is connected to the first mounting hole 1121 of the first bending gear 112, and the other end of the first bending joint 114 is connected to the second bending gear assembly. When the second bending gear assembly rotates, it drives the first bending joint 114 to rotate around the center of the first tooth profile 1122 of the first bending gear 112, i.e., the center of the first mounting hole 1121, and the first bending joint 114 and the second bending joint 115 are linked.

[0066] This solution further reduces the bending curvature of the bending structure, and reduces the resistance to the forward and backward movement of the cutting knife 119 when the stapler assembly is in the bent state, that is, the smaller the bending curvature, the smaller the resistance.

[0067] Furthermore, the bending assembly also includes a driving gear 103, a driving rack 104, and a secondary rack 105. The nail magazine core 101 is provided with a gear mounting seat 1011, and the driving gear 103 is fixed to the gear mounting seat 1011 through a gear mounting hole 1031. The driving rack 104 and the secondary rack 105 are respectively placed on the driving gear chute 1012 and the secondary gear chute 1013 on the nail magazine core 101, and the driving rack 104 and the secondary rack 105 are axially movable in the chute. The driving gear 103 has a fifth tooth profile 1032, which meshes with the first spur tooth surface 1041 and the second spur tooth surface 1051 on the driving rack 104 and the secondary rack 105, respectively.

[0068] Furthermore, the connecting rod 106 is provided with a middle groove 1062, the proximal end of the steering connecting rod 108 is inserted into the middle groove 1062 of the connecting rod 106, the distal end of the connecting rod 106 is provided with an eighth mounting hole 1063, the proximal end of the steering connecting rod 108 is provided with a ninth mounting hole 1081, and the connecting rod pin 109 connects the eighth mounting hole 1063 and the ninth mounting hole 1081, thereby locking the connecting rod 106 and the steering connecting rod 108.

[0069] A fifth mounting post 1064 is provided at the proximal end of the connecting rod 106, and a tenth mounting hole 1101 is provided at the distal end of the first flexible sheet 110. The fifth mounting post 1064 is inserted into the tenth mounting hole 1101 to secure the first flexible sheet 110 and the connecting rod 106. An eleventh mounting hole 1102 is provided at the proximal end of the first flexible sheet 110, and a twelfth mounting hole 1151 is provided at the corresponding second bending joint 115. The knurled pin 111 passes through the eleventh mounting hole 1102 and the twelfth mounting hole 1151, thereby connecting the connecting rod 106, the steering connecting rod 108, the first flexible sheet 110, and the second bending joint 115 together.

[0070] There are first flexible sheet tracks 1143 and second flexible sheet tracks 1148 on both sides of the first bending joint 114 respectively. The first flexible sheet 110 passes through the first flexible sheet track 1143 on one side of the first bending joint 114 and enters the nail magazine core connecting rod track 1014 on the side of the nail magazine core 101, restricting the first positioning rod 1042 on the driving rack 104 in the first positioning groove 1061 of the connecting rod 106.

[0071] Similarly, a sixth mounting post 1072 is provided at the proximal end of the secondary connecting rod 107 and is inserted into the thirteenth mounting hole 11101 at the distal end of the second flexible sheet 1110. The knurled pin 111 passes through the thirteenth mounting hole 11101 at the distal end of the second flexible sheet 1110 and is inserted into the twelfth mounting hole 1151 on the other side of the second bending joint 115, thereby connecting the secondary connecting rod 107, the second flexible sheet 1110 and the second bending joint 115 together.

[0072] The second flexible sheet 1110 passes through the second flexible sheet track 1148 on the other side of the first bending joint 114 and enters the nail magazine core connecting rod track 1014 on the other side of the nail magazine core 101; and restricts the second positioning rod 1052 on the auxiliary rack 105 in the second positioning groove 1071 of the auxiliary connecting rod 107.

[0073] The lower cover 102 of the nail magazine core is installed on the nail magazine core 101, so that the first flexible sheet 110 and the second flexible sheet 1110 can move axially in the nail magazine core connecting rod tracks 1014 on both sides of the nail magazine core 101 respectively. Due to the limitation of the nail magazine core connecting rod tracks 1014, the first flexible sheet 110 and the second flexible sheet 1110 can move axially in the nail magazine core connecting rod tracks 1014 on both sides of the nail magazine core 101 respectively, and the structure of the first flexible sheet 110 and the second flexible sheet 1110 exposed outside the nail magazine core connecting rod tracks 1014 of the nail magazine core 101 will deform and bend with the bending of the joint.

[0074] The working process of the bending assembly of one embodiment of the utility model is as follows:

[0075] When the steering connecting rod 108 moves toward the proximal direction, it drives the connecting rod 106 and the first flexible sheet 110 to move toward the proximal direction, thereby driving the second bending joint 115 to bend. At the same time, since the driving gear 103 is engaged with the auxiliary rack 105, the auxiliary rack 105 moves in the opposite direction of the driving rack 104 at the same time, causing the auxiliary connecting rod 107 and the second flexible sheet 1110 to move toward the distal direction, thereby pushing the second bending joint 115 to move toward the distal direction, causing the nail magazine assembly 2 to bend in one direction, and the maximum bending angle is 60°.

[0076] When the steering connecting rod 108 moves toward the distal direction, it drives the connecting rod 106 and the first flexible sheet 110 to move toward the distal direction, thereby driving the second bending joint 115 to bend. At the same time, since the driving gear 103 is engaged with the auxiliary rack 105, the auxiliary rack 105 moves in the opposite direction of the driving rack 104 at the same time, causing the auxiliary connecting rod 107 and the second flexible sheet 1110 to move toward the proximal direction, thereby pushing the second bending joint 115 to move toward the proximal direction, causing the nail magazine assembly 2 to bend in the other direction, and the maximum bending angle is 60°.

[0077] The bending assembly of one embodiment of the present invention also includes a nail magazine shell 113, which is sleeved on the nail magazine inner core 101 and the nail magazine inner core lower cover 102. The nail magazine shell 113 has a limiting groove 1131, which cooperates with the limiting protrusions 1016 and the limiting protrusions 1023 on the nail magazine inner core 101 and the nail magazine inner core lower cover 102, so that the nail magazine shell 113 is restricted on the nail magazine inner core 101 and the nail magazine inner core lower cover 102, and the first bending gear 112 and the second bending gear 1112 at the upper and lower positions are locked.

[0078] Here, there are cutting knife channels 1017 and 1024 on the nail magazine inner core 101 and the nail magazine inner core lower cover 102, and the cutting knife 119 moves axially inside them.

[0079] The staple cartridge assembly 2 comprises an anvil 201, a staple magazine 202, a second pin 203, and a staple cartridge 204. The anvil 201 has a fifteenth mounting hole 2011. The fifteenth mounting hole 2011 of the anvil 201 is mounted on the rivet base 1165 of the second bending gear 116. The anvil 201 is secured to the second bending gear 116, and the rivet base 1165 of the second bending gear 116 is flattened using a riveting machine.

[0080] The nail magazine 204 is installed in the nail box 202, and the nail box 202 is provided with a fourteenth mounting hole 2021. The fourteenth mounting hole 2021 of the nail magazine 202 is aligned with the sixteenth mounting hole 2012 on the nail support 201 and the seventh mounting hole 1153 of the second bending joint 115. The two second pins 203 are inserted on the left and right sides in an interference state, so that the nail magazine assembly 2 is locked on the bending assembly.

[0081] The first bending joint 114 and the second bending joint 115 respectively have a first conical yielding structure 1145 and a second conical yielding structure 1155. When at the maximum bending angle, the first bending joint cutting knife channel 1144 and the second bending joint cutting knife channel 1154 do not affect the movement of the cutting knife 119, and further reduce the resistance to the movement of the cutting knife 119.

[0082] The utility model also discloses a stapler comprising the bending assembly of any of the above solutions.

[0083] During surgery, after the stapler is inserted into the abdominal cavity, the stapler cartridge often needs to bend at a certain angle to reach the tissue where the cutting and suturing are required. The greater the bending angle of the stapler cartridge, the greater the advantages of the laparoscopic stapler during surgery. Therefore, the development of a laparoscopic stapler with better performance is urgent. The stapler assembly introduced in this utility model has at least the following advantages:

[0084] (1) The double-joint solution reduces the bending curvature of the bending structure, and when in the bending state, reduces the resistance of the cutting knife to move forward and backward.

[0085] (2) The utility model has a simple structure, good effect, low cost and easy process implementation.
