Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surgical robot technology, specifically to a connecting and fixing device for a ruler. Background Technology

[0002] During orthopedic surgery, a ruler needs to be fixed to a robotic arm. Before surgery, the ruler needs to be placed above the surgical target. The CTCB machine scans the surgical target together, and the marker points of the ruler can be identified in the reconstructed 3D image. The mapping relationship between the ruler and the surgical target can be calculated through an algorithm. The ruler is fixed to the robotic arm, and the relationship between the robotic arm and the ruler can be calculated, thus establishing the relationship between the robotic arm and the surgical target. Once the image coordinate system is established, the position of the ruler cannot be moved; otherwise, the mapping relationship must be reconfigured. The movement of the ruler affects the accuracy of the surgery and its success or failure. This utility model structure allows for quick plugging and unplugging of the ruler holder and the robotic arm during installation. The ruler position can be adjusted at will, and the locking is safe and reliable. Utility Model Content

One side of the two bolts 36 is threaded into the first threaded hole 314 and the second threaded hole 315 respectively. By setting the bolts 36, the bolts 36 are locked to the first threaded hole 314 and the second threaded hole 315 on the rod body 31 through the holes A351 and B352 on the base plate 35, thereby fixing the base plate 35.

[0037] Working principle: In actual use, one side of the quick-locking mechanism 3 is connected to the end of the robot. When button 32 is pressed, the conical surface 333 on the movable shaft 33 moves down below the bottom surface of the slot 311 of the rod 31, compressing the spring 34. The connecting rod 111 on the first joint arm 11 is inserted into the slot 311. The small shaft 331 on the movable shaft 33 is concentric with the clearance groove 1111. When button 32 is released, the elastic force of the spring 34 forces the movable shaft 33 to move upward, so that the conical surface 333 on the movable shaft 33 coincides with the conical groove 115 of the connecting rod 111, thereby firmly fixing the first joint arm 11. Pressing button 32 again allows the first joint arm 11 to be quickly pulled out. The first joint arm 11 is provided with a first round hole 112 for placing the stop knob 12 to stop the shaft 121. The articulated arm 11 is provided with a second circular hole 114 for axially placing the first stop shaft 13. The stop shaft arc groove 132 on the first stop shaft 13 coincides with the protrusion 122 on the stop knob 12. The ball head body 141 on the ball head bolt 14 coincides with the stop shaft spherical groove 133 on the first stop shaft 13. The locking internal thread 151 on the locking nut 15 is screwed onto the first lead screw 113 on the first articulated arm 11. Rotating the stop knob 12 causes the protrusion 122 on the stop knob 12 to force the first stop shaft 13 to move axially. The ball head on the ball head bolt 14 is squeezed and tightly clamped between the stop shaft spherical groove 133 on the first stop shaft 13 and the spherical groove on the locking nut 15, thereby firmly fixing the ball head bolt 14 and the second articulated arm 2 connected to the ball head bolt 14.

[0038] The second articulated arm 2 is provided with a first articulated arm connecting internal thread 21 that connects to the ball head screw 142 on the ball head bolt 14 of the first articulated arm assembly. The scale unit 4 with circular marking points is threaded onto the upper part of the scale connecting screw 23, thereby fixing it.

[0039] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
