[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0029] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly attached to the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation methods.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 The grip structure shown includes: a grip handle 1, a trigger handle 2, and a silicone cover 3;

[0032] The grip handle 1 includes a fixed chamber 11 located at the front end and a grip portion 12 extending away from the fixed chamber 11; here, the fixed chamber 11 being located at the front end means that the fixed chamber 11 is closer to the patient, and the grip portion 12 being closer to the doctor. When the doctor uses the grip structure, he holds the grip portion 12.

[0033] The trigger handle 2, rotatably connected to the grip handle 1, includes a drive part 21 with one end extending into the fixed chamber 11 to drive the pushing and clamping of the ligation clip under external force, and a gripping part 22 located outside the fixed chamber 11. The rotatable connection between the trigger handle 2 and the grip handle 1 can be exemplified by the following: a pivot is installed in either the grip handle 1 or the trigger handle 2, and the grip handle 1 rotates within the pivot of the trigger handle 2; or the trigger handle 2 rotates within the pivot of the grip handle 1. Figure 2 As shown, the trigger handle 2 rotates within the pivot of the grip handle 1. The rotational travel can be limited by setting a limiting structure such as a limiting block or a limiting groove within the pivot, or by using... Figure 2 As shown, a stop bar corresponding to the movement trajectory of the trigger handle 2 is set in the grip handle 1, and a T-shaped plate that cooperates with the stop bar is set for the trigger handle 2. When the T-shaped plate contacts the inner wall of the grip handle 1, the stroke of the trigger handle 2 stops. It should be noted that the pressure grip 22 is not limited to a curved structure, but can also be an ergonomic structure. For example, the shape of the pressure grip 22 is provided with a protruding part. The protruding part separates the doctor's fingers, which can improve the grip feel of the grip structure. At the same time, the doctor can hold the grip structure more firmly during use, which improves the anti-slip property of the grip structure. In terms of specific use, when the grip handle 1 and the trigger handle 2 are subjected to external force, the angle between them becomes smaller. As the trigger handle 2 moves towards the doctor, the drive unit 21 pushes towards the patient, thereby providing drive for the pushing and clamping of the ligation clip.

[0034] The gripping part 22 and / or the holding part 12 are provided with a silicone cover 3. It should be noted that the silicone cover can be provided only on the gripping part 22, only on the holding part 12, or on both the gripping part 22 and the holding part 23. Silicone is a soft and elastic material that conforms well to the doctor's palm and fingers. Providing the silicone cover 3 on the gripping part 22 and / or the holding part 12 improves the anti-slip performance of the grip structure. It should also be noted that the silicone cover 3 can be designed with different shapes and textures as needed to provide a better grip and feel. For example, designing recessed or raised textures on the gripping part 22 can guide the user's fingers to be placed correctly, improving the accuracy of the operation. Furthermore, the silicone cover 3 can be provided on the gripping part 22 and / or the holding part 12 by sleeve, embedding, or attaching to the surface of the gripping part 22 and / or the holding part 12.

[0035] This invention improves the anti-slip performance of the grip structure by covering the grip handle 1 and the trigger handle 2 with a silicone cover 3. Furthermore, the trigger handle 2 has a drive part 21 and a pressing part 22, which fixes the sleeve assembly of the clamping device and triggers the ligation clip inside the sleeve. Compared with the prior art, this invention improves the anti-slip performance of the grip structure and ensures the structural strength of the grip structure and the clamping device.

[0036] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, the silicone cover 3 includes a first cover 31 fixed to the grip portion 22 and a second cover 32 fixed to the grip portion 12. The first cover 31 is fixed to the grip portion 22 and contacts the physician's fingers, while the second cover 32 is fixed to the grip portion 12 and contacts the physician's palm. The main function of the first cover 31 and the second cover 32 is to provide comfort and improve anti-slip performance, ensuring that the user can stably grip the handle when applying pressure, preventing slippage or misoperation. It should be noted that the first cover 31 can be fixed to the grip portion 22, and the second cover 32 can be fixed to the grip portion 12 by adhesive, snap-fit, or screws.

[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, the first cover 31 and the second cover 32 are respectively located on the surfaces of the gripping portion 22 and the holding portion 12 that are opposite to each other. By providing the first cover 31 and the second cover 32 only on the surfaces that come into contact with the physician, the manufacturing cost of the grip structure is reduced. At the same time, the first cover 31 and the second cover 32 directly contact the physician's hand, which helps to improve the operating feel and anti-slip performance, making the grip structure more ergonomic and reducing hand fatigue and discomfort.

[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, the grip handle 1 and the trigger handle 2 are a butt-jointed structure. The first cover 31 and the second cover 32 respectively cover part of the joint surface of the pressure grip 22 and the grip 12. A detailed explanation of the joint is that the first cover 31 and the second cover 32 do not completely cover the pressure grip 22 and the grip 12 respectively. When the doctor's dominant hand is right-handed, the contact area between the palm and the right side of the grip 12 is larger, and the contact area between the fingers and the middle of the pressure grip 22 is larger. Therefore, the first cover 31 and the second cover 32 are provided on part of the joint surface of the pressure grip 22 and the grip 12 as needed. This can further improve the grip feel and anti-slip performance, while reducing costs. Similarly, in the pressure grip 22, the part that contacts the drive unit 21 can also be joined with the first cover 31 to improve the smoothness of the contact between the pressure grip 22 and the drive unit 21, reduce wear, and extend the service life of the grip structure.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first cover 31 and the second cover 32 also have protrusions 32a along their length direction, which are perpendicular to the outer surface. Multiple protrusions 32a are spaced apart. The protrusions 32a are distributed at certain intervals on the first cover 31 and the second cover 32, increasing the friction between the first cover 31 and the second cover 32 and the hand, making the grip more stable and safe for the physician. It should be noted that the shape of the protrusions 32a is not limited here; they can be structures that conform to the shape of the fingers, or they can be... Figure 5 The gently sloping square structure shown in the image serves to increase friction between the hand and the skin.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2-5 As shown, the silicone cover 3 is contoured to its mating surface. This similarity in shape and contour ensures a tight fit between the silicone cover 3 and the mating surface, reducing gaps and voids. Furthermore, the higher degree of fit between the silicone cover 3 and the mating surface increases friction and interaction forces, enhancing the durability and wear resistance of the silicone cover 3. This also simplifies and simplifies the installation process.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5As shown, the gripping part 22 and the holding part 12 are also provided with an embedding part 22a for attaching the silicone cover 3. The depth of the embedding part 22a is the same as the thickness of the silicone cover 3. The presence of the embedding part 22a provides a precise attachment position for the silicone cover 3, and by precisely controlling the depth of the embedding part 22a, it can be ensured that there are no gaps or protrusions between the silicone cover 3 and the handle surface, thereby improving the fit and aesthetics. After the silicone cover 3 is embedded in the embedding part 22a, due to the restraining effect of the embedding part 22a, the silicone cover 3 is not easy to fall off or shift. Moreover, the design of the embedding part 22a simplifies the installation process of the silicone cover 3. During installation, the silicone cover 3 can be quickly and stably installed simply by accurately placing it into the embedding part 22a.

[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first cover 31 and the second cover 32 also have inwardly bent retaining edges 31a on both sides in the width direction. The retaining edges 31a are in contact with the side walls of the gripping part 22 or the holding part 12. By bending inward, the retaining edges 31a are tightly attached to the side walls of the gripping part 22 or the holding part 12. This design increases the contact area and friction between the first cover 31 and the second cover 32 and the gripping part 22 and the holding part 12, respectively, thereby improving the connection stability between them. The presence of retaining edges 31a further prevents the first cover 31 and the second cover 32 from accidentally falling off or shifting during use.

[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3-5 As shown, the silicone cover 3 is fixed by adhesive bonding or welding. Adhesive bonding and welding are simple to operate and low in cost, while ensuring the connection stability and sealing of the silicone cover 3. Specific welding methods can be hot-press welding and silicone high-frequency welding.

[0044] This invention also provides a clamp applicator, including the aforementioned gripping structure. The gripping structure of the clamp applicator has anti-slip properties. During use, when the gripping handle 1 is held and the trigger handle 2 is pressed, the driving part 21 in the trigger handle 2 provides drive for the pushing and clamping of the ligation clip, thereby realizing the clamping function of the clamp applicator. This clamp applicator structure ensures structural stability while maintaining anti-slip properties, preventing errors by the physician during surgery.

[0045] Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
