Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to surgical robot technical field, especially to multi -joint. BACKGROUND

[0002] The forceps head of the surgical robot is a key tool in the surgical robot system, which is used for various surgical operations such as clamping, cutting, suturing, etc. The forceps head of the surgical robot is usually designed with multiple joints to simulate the range of motion and degrees of freedom of the human hand. These joints can move and rotate flexibly to adapt to different surgical needs and provide greater flexibility and accuracy. This wrist movement can adjust the angle and position of the forceps during surgery to better perform surgical operations and adapt to complex anatomical structures. To adapt to different types of surgical operations, the clamps of different forceps tools use opening and closing actions to achieve different operations such as clamping, cutting, suturing, and electrocoagulation. The forceps head of the surgical robot is controlled through a console, and the doctor controls the movement of the forceps through the handle on the console. In the prior art, steel wire ropes, tungsten wire ropes, etc. are generally used to drive the clamps to complete the opening and closing actions of the clamps. Due to the inherent elongation and aging problems of the traction ropes, the control precision and stability of the forceps opening and closing are affected.

[0003] In the Chinese patent document with publication number CN220045962U and utility model name "a needle holder, surgical instrument and surgical robot", a needle holder is disclosed. The rotation of the forceps head is driven by moving the first traction rope and the second traction rope, which makes the first forceps head and the second forceps head move towards or away from each other around the forceps head hinge shaft, realizing the opening and closing of the forceps head. Due to the large elongation of the traction wire itself, it is easy to cause deviation of the control precision of the forceps head and insufficient clamping force. The traction rope bears a large tension force when opening and closing, so its service life is also relatively low, which increases the instability of the forceps head structure. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a multi-joint surgical instrument forceps head structure, which makes the forceps head structure stable and improves the control precision and clamping force of the forceps head.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the utility model provides a technical scheme, which includes:

[0006] A multi-joint surgical instrument forceps head structure includes:

[0007] A wrist joint includes multiple deflection joints;

[0008] A push rod is arranged through the wrist joint, and one end of the push rod is threadedly connected with the wrist joint;

[0009] A forceps head includes a first clamp and a second clamp which are hingedly arranged through a hinge shaft;

[0010] One end of the push rod passes through the wrist joint and is movably connected with the first jaw and the second jaw respectively, and drives the first jaw and the second jaw to open and close. Through the threaded transmission of the push rod, the structure is stable and reliable, the control precision of the jaw is high, and the clamping force and service life of the jaw structure can be effectively improved.

[0011] Further, the push rod is provided with a rotating head towards the jaw, one end of the first jaw and the second jaw is provided with a driving guide hole, the driving head is fixedly provided with a connecting shaft, the free end of the connecting shaft is slidably connected with the driving guide hole, the driving head can drive the connecting shaft to reciprocate along the driving guide hole, and drives the first jaw and the second jaw to open and close. Through the threaded transmission of the push rod and the sliding fit of the connecting shaft and the driving guide hole, compared with the jaw structure driven by the traction rope, the influence of the inherent elongation, aging and other problems of the traction rope on the opening and closing control precision of the jaw can be effectively avoided. The sliding fit of the connecting shaft and the driving guide hole is a mechanical fit between hard material structures, the structure is stable and reliable, the control precision of the jaw is high, and the clamping force and service life of the jaw structure can be effectively improved.

[0012] Further, the driving guide hole includes a first driving guide hole provided at one end of the first jaw towards the wrist joint, and a second driving guide hole provided at one end of the second jaw towards the wrist joint, the first driving guide hole and the second driving guide hole are both long circular holes, and the first driving guide hole and the second driving guide hole are offset arranged along the long axis direction. By offsetting the first driving guide hole and the second driving guide hole along the long axis direction, the first driving guide hole and the second driving guide hole are symmetrically arranged with the connecting shaft as the center axis. When the connecting shaft slides along the first driving guide hole and the second driving guide hole, the first jaw and the second jaw can be driven to move in opposite directions, realizing the opening and closing control of the jaw. Through the symmetrical arrangement of the offset angle of the first driving guide hole and the second driving guide hole, the first jaw and the second jaw can move towards each other or away from each other at the same time, improving the stability of the opening and closing of the first jaw and the second jaw.

[0015] Further, one side of the first jaw and the second jaw corresponding to the opening and closing motion is a clamping surface, and the clamping surface intersects with the rotation direction of the first jaw and the second jaw. By arranging the clamping surface to intersect with the rotation direction, the first jaw and the second jaw can abut each other in the motion direction, so that the clamping force between the first jaw and the second jaw is increased.

[0016] Further, the wrist joint comprises a first joint, a second joint and a third joint arranged in sequence, the first joint is movably connected with the second joint, the second joint is movably connected with the third joint, and the plane in which the first joint and the second joint move relative to each other is perpendicular to the plane in which the second joint and the third joint move relative to each other. By movably connecting the first joint, the second joint and the third joint, the flexibility of the wrist joint is increased, so that the wrist joint can drive the jaw to bias in multiple directions.

[0017] Further, the push rod comprises a driving rod connected with the driving device, a transmission rod provided with a transmission head, and a connecting rod connecting the driving rod and the transmission rod, and the driving rod and the connecting rod and the connecting rod and the transmission rod are movably connected.

[0019] Further, a plurality of traction ropes are arranged, one end of each traction rope is connected with the driving device, and the other end is fixedly connected with the wrist joint, and the traction ropes can drive the wrist joint and the jaw to deflect in multiple directions. By arranging the traction ropes, an acting force can be applied to the wrist joint to drive the wrist joint and the jaw to deflect, thereby increasing the flexibility of the jaw structure and the convenience of use.
