Detailed Implementation
[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0033] like Figure 1-13As shown, the anastomosis device 100 in one embodiment of this utility model includes a housing 10, a rack assembly 20, and a drive mechanism 30. The housing 10 includes a handle 11 for the operator to hold. The rack assembly 20 is installed within the housing 10 and includes a rack 21 that is movable along its length within the housing 10, with a stop 211 formed at one end of the rack 21. The drive mechanism 30 includes a trigger 31, a safety button 32, a pusher assembly 33, and a safety lock assembly 34. The trigger 31 is pivotally connected to the housing 10 and can move closer to or further away from the handle 11. The pusher assembly 33 is connected to the trigger 31 and can contact and drive the rack 21 to move outward from the housing 10 as the trigger 31 rotates. The safety lock assembly 34 is connected to the trigger 31 and includes a safety lock plate 341. When the trigger 31 is rotated to a position close to the handle 11, the safety lock plate 341 can move to and abut against the stop 211, thereby preventing the trigger 31 from moving away from the handle 11, thus entering the firing confirmation state. The safety button 32 is mounted on the housing 11 and is always connected to the safety lock assembly 34. When the safety button 32 is pressed, it can drive the safety lock assembly 34 to move, thereby causing the safety lock plate 341 to move away from the stop 211. At this time, the trigger 31 is no longer obstructed and can rotate away from the handle 11. At this time, the stapler 100 enters the firing state. Repeatedly pressing the trigger 31 can perform the firing operation.
[0034] In this embodiment, the safety button 32 and the safety lock assembly 34 are always in a connected state, without any steps to enter or disconnect the connection, thereby avoiding the situation where the structure cannot be properly connected or even fails, as well as the situation where forced operation causes damage to structural components, resulting in high safety and stability.
[0035] Specifically, a groove 323 is provided on the safety button 32, and the safety lock assembly 34 includes a U-shaped bracket 342 connected to the safety lock plate 341. The U-shaped bracket 342 includes a connecting arm 3421, mounting arms 3422 protruding from both ends of the connecting arm 3421, and a guide plate 3423 protruding from the connecting arm 3421. It is pivotally connected to the trigger 31 through the two mounting arms 3422. The guide plate 3423 is provided on the other side of the mounting arm 3422 and is a tongue-shaped structure protruding from the connecting arm 3421 in a direction perpendicular to the extension of the mounting arm 3422. The guide plate 3423 is always inserted into the groove 323, so that the safety button 32 and the safety lock assembly 34 are always in a connected state.
[0036] like Figure 6As shown, the safety button 32 includes a cylindrical rod 321 and a drive portion 322 located in the middle of the rod 321. A groove 323 is recessed into the drive portion 322. A corresponding mounting hole 12 is provided in the housing 10. The end of the rod 321 is inserted into the mounting hole 12 and extends out of the housing 10 for operation by medical personnel. When the safety button 32 is rotated, the bottom of the groove 323 contacts and presses the guide plate 3423, causing it to move, thereby disengaging the safety locking plate 341 from the stop wall 211.
[0037] Furthermore, to facilitate operation by medical staff, operation knobs (not shown in the figure) can be installed at both ends of the rod 321 to provide operation positions for medical staff and avoid slippage.
[0038] Preferably, since both the safety button 32 and the U-shaped bracket 342 move by rotation, the bottom surface of the groove 323 and the contact position between the guide plate 3423 and the bottom surface of the groove 323 are set as mutually fitting arc surfaces, thereby optimizing the squeezing drive process of the contact between the two and avoiding the influence of force on the rotation operation of the safety button 32 and the U-shaped bracket 342.
[0039] In one embodiment, a blocking part 13 is provided on the outer casing 10, which is located around the mounting hole 12. The driving part 322 is limited between the blocking parts 13, and its rotation range is restricted, thus limiting the rotation range of the safety button 32 and preventing excessive rotation.
[0040] like Figure 5 and 8 As shown, the safety lock assembly 34 also includes a lock plate bracket 343 and a limiting rod 344. Two opposing mounting portions 311 protrude from the trigger 31, and two mounting arms 3422 are disposed on the housing of the mounting portions 311. The limiting rod 344 is disposed between the two mounting portions 311, and its two ends are connected to the mounting wall 3422 by pins. The safety lock plate 341 is pivotally connected to one end of the lock plate bracket 343. At the same time, a first mounting groove 312 is provided on the trigger 31, and the lock plate bracket 343 is movably disposed in the first mounting groove 312, with the safety lock plate 341 protruding from the first mounting groove 312. A protrusion 3431 is provided on the locking plate bracket 343, and a corresponding stop surface 3441 is provided on the limiting rod 344. When the safety button 32 drives the U-shaped bracket 342 to rotate, the limiting rod 344 rotates with it, and the stop surface 3441 contacts and squeezes the protrusion 3431, thereby driving the locking plate bracket 343 to move away from the opening of the first mounting groove 312, so that the safety locking plate 341 moves away from the baffle 211 and disengages from the baffle 211.
[0041] Preferably, a bracket spring 345 is provided in the first mounting groove 312, which presses against the bottom of the first mounting groove 312 and the locking plate bracket 343. When the locking plate bracket 343 is driven downward by the limiting rod 344, the bracket spring 345 deforms and stores energy. Subsequently, after losing the driving force of the limiting rod 344, it releases the stored energy and resets, thereby pushing the locking plate bracket 343 to move upward.
[0042] like Figure 4 and 10 As shown, a second mounting groove 3432 is provided at the end of the locking plate bracket 343 away from the bracket spring 345, and the safety locking plate 341 is pivotally connected to the opening of the second mounting groove 3432. Similarly, a locking plate spring 346 is provided in the second mounting groove 3432, which is pressed between the bottom of the second mounting groove 3432 and the safety locking plate 341 to ensure the posture of the safety locking plate 341.
[0043] Preferably, a push rod 347 is provided between the locking spring 346 and the safety locking plate 341. One end of the push rod is inserted into the locking spring 346, and the other end, which contacts the safety locking plate 341, has a larger diameter and forms an arc-shaped contact surface 3471. The safety locking plate 341 abuts against the arc-shaped contact surface 3471, and can receive a force from the arc-shaped contact surface 3471 in different postures, thereby restoring it to a vertical state and avoiding the situation where it cannot properly abut against the barrier 211 due to an incorrect posture after moving to the position of the barrier 211.
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, a trigger torsion spring 348 is also provided in the mounting space inside the housing 10 to provide a reset function for the trigger 31. One end of the spring abuts against the trigger 31, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the housing 10. When the trigger 31 is turned toward the handle 11, the trigger torsion spring 348 deforms and stores energy. When the force acting on the trigger 31 disappears, the trigger torsion spring 348 releases the stored energy and resets, thereby pushing the trigger 31 to move away from the handle 11.
[0045] The propeller assembly 33 includes a propeller 331 and a propeller torsion spring 332. The propeller 331 is pivotally connected to the trigger 31 via a pin, and one end of the propeller 3311 is provided with a push plate 3311 that can engage with the rack 21. One end of the propeller torsion spring 332 abuts against the propeller 331, and the other end abuts against the connection end of the trigger torsion spring 348 abutting against the inner wall of the housing 10. Since the end of the trigger torsion spring 348 abutting against the inner wall of the housing 10 is always in a relatively stationary state with the housing 10, it can provide a fixed position for the propeller torsion spring 332. When the trigger 31 is turned, the propeller 331 moves accordingly, and the push plate 3311 moves on the rack 21. The propeller torsion spring 332 is used to drive the push plate 3311 to always face the rack 21 and to smoothly enter the gap between adjacent teeth of the rack 21, thereby smoothly firing. A through hole 3312 is also provided on the thruster 331, and the locking plate bracket 343 extends toward the rack 21 after passing through the through hole 3312.
[0046] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
