Fixing blocks are detachably connected to the fixing part of the fixing plate via bolts. The two fixing blocks work together to secure the da Vinci arm. However, using this arm fixation frame requires unscrewing the bolts, removing the fixing blocks, clamping the da Vinci arm, and then tightening the bolts again, making the process cumbersome.

Detailed Implementation
[0031] The attached figure shows a preferred embodiment of the independent snap fastener and the minimally invasive robotic arm cleaning device composed thereof. The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the attached figure.
[0032] An independent buckle, made of Figure 1 as well as Figure 2As shown, the device includes a snap-fit base 111, snap-fit fasteners 112, and snap-fit movable parts 113. Several sets of snap-fit fasteners 112 are fixed to the snap-fit base 111 at intervals, and each set of snap-fit fasteners 112 is rotatably connected to a snap-fit movable part 113. One end of the snap-fit movable part 113 is hinged to the snap-fit fastener 112, and the other end is snapped into the snap-fit fastener 112.
[0033] In this embodiment, each set of buckle fasteners 112 includes two opposingly arranged first L-shaped rods 1121. The horizontal portion of the first L-shaped rod 1121 is fixedly connected to the buckle base 111. A straight rod 1122 is provided on the inner side of the end of the horizontal portion of the first L-shaped rod 1121, and a U-shaped rod 1123 is provided at the end of the vertical portion of the first L-shaped rod 1121. The horizontal portion of the first L-shaped rod 1121 is located below the vertical portion.
[0034] The latching movable component 113 includes two second L-shaped rods 1131, which are fixedly connected by a connecting rod 1134. The connecting rod 1134 is fixedly connected to the vertical portion of the second L-shaped rods 1131. A collar 1132 is provided at the end of the vertical portion of each second L-shaped rod 1131, and the collar 1132 is sleeved on a straight rod 1122. The horizontal end of the second L-shaped rod 1131 is engaged inside a U-shaped rod 1123. This allows the latching movable component 113 to be hinged to the straight rod 1122 and engaged with the U-shaped rod 1123.
[0035] The horizontal end of the second L-shaped rod 1131 is fixed with an anti-disengagement buckle 1133, which is engaged with the side of the U-shaped rod 1123 opposite to the straight rod 1122. The horizontal part of the second L-shaped rod 1131 is located above the vertical part.
[0036] The buckle base 111 includes a middle connecting plate and end plates on both sides of the connecting plate. The width of the middle plate is less than the length of the horizontal part of the first L-shaped rod.
[0037] In use, press the horizontal part of the second L-shaped rod 1131 inward to make the end of the horizontal part slide out from inside the U-shaped rod 1123, and then rotate the second L-shaped rod 1131 around the straight rod 1122 to open it. Then, put the end of the minimally invasive robotic arm 12 into the buckle fixing part 112, and then fasten the buckle movable part 113 to lock the end of the minimally invasive robotic arm 12.
[0038] A minimally invasive robotic arm cleaning device includes the aforementioned independent buckles and a cleaning frame 1, which is composed of... Figure 3 as well as Figure 4As shown, the cleaning rack 1 has several vertically arranged minimally invasive robotic arm loading layers 2 and corresponding robotic arm mid-section support members 9. Each minimally invasive robotic arm loading layer 2 is fixed with an independent buckle 11. The robotic arm mid-section support member 9 can be integrally formed or a separate component. When a separate component is used, the number of movable buckle parts 113 on the robotic arm mid-section support member 9 and the independent buckle 11 are equal and correspond one-to-one. The end of the minimally invasive robotic arm 12 is fixed by the independent buckle 11, and the robotic arm mid-section support member 9 supports the middle part of the minimally invasive robotic arm 12. The independent buckle 11 and the robotic arm mid-section support member 9 together fix the minimally invasive robotic arm 12.
[0039] Each layer of the minimally invasive robotic arm loading layer 2 is equipped with a corresponding interlayer main water inlet pipe 4. The interlayer main water inlet pipe 4 located inside the cleaning frame 1 is connected to the minimally invasive robotic arm interface 5. The minimally invasive robotic arm interface 5 is connected to the front nozzle 6, the rear nozzle 7 and the accessory cleaning pipe 8 through the pipe. The front nozzle 6 is arranged correspondingly to the independent buckle 11, and the rear nozzle 7 and the accessory cleaning pipe 8 are arranged correspondingly to the bottom of the minimally invasive robotic arm 12.
[0040] The front nozzle 6 cleans the part of the minimally invasive robotic arm 12 that is fixed by the independent clip 11, the rear nozzle 7 is used to clean the bottom of the minimally invasive robotic arm 12, and the accessory cleaning tube 8 is used to clean various accessories of the minimally invasive robotic arm.
[0041] The cleaning frame 1 is equipped with a spray pipe 10 inside, and a linear module is installed inside the cleaning frame 1. The nozzle of the spray pipe 10 is connected to the sliding part of the linear module. The linear module drives the nozzle of the spray pipe 10 to slide, thereby cleaning the minimally invasive robotic arm 12 from all directions.
[0042] The loading layer 2 of the minimally invasive robotic arm is arranged at an angle to ensure that water on the minimally invasive robotic arm 12 can flow down quickly and facilitate drying.
[0043] The bottom of the minimally invasive robotic arm loading layer 2 is fixedly connected to the cleaning frame 1 through a reinforcing structure 3, which improves the support strength and stability of the minimally invasive robotic arm loading layer 2.
[0044] If the free flow of cleaning water alone is insufficient to quickly dry the minimally invasive robotic arm 12, and if water remains on the arm for too long, bacteria can easily grow, causing secondary contamination. To address this technical problem and ensure rapid drying of the cleaned minimally invasive robotic arm 12, this embodiment includes a supply system located outside the cleaning frame 1. Figure 5As shown, the supply system includes a three-way valve 13. The outlet of the three-way valve 13 is connected to the inter-floor main water inlet pipe 4. The two inlets of the three-way valve 13 are respectively connected to a water pump 14 and an air pump 15 through pipelines. A heater 16 is connected in series between the air pump 15 and the three-way valve 13.
[0045] The three-way valve 13 is an electrically controlled three-way valve. During cleaning, high-pressure water or disinfectant is injected into the main water inlet pipe 4 between the floors of the water pump 14 to rinse and disinfect the minimally invasive robotic arm 12. After rinsing, the internal connection path of the three-way valve 13 is adjusted, and the air pump 15 injects high-pressure air heated by the heater 16 into the main water inlet pipe 4 between the floors. The hot air dries the minimally invasive robotic arm 12, allowing it to dry quickly and preventing bacterial growth.
[0046] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application.
