The joint brake module 110 can be composed of a controller, a brake and the like.

[0049] In order to realize the unlocking release of the mechanical arm in the brake state, in the embodiment, the brake control device for the mechanical arm comprises:

[0050] A plurality of joint brake modules 110 are arranged in the plurality of joints 100 of the mechanical arm one by one;

[0051] The brake release module 10 comprises a brake release switch 11, the brake release switch 11 is connected with the plurality of joint brake modules 110 respectively, and the brake release switch 11 is used to control the plurality of joint brake modules 110 to act to release the plurality of joints 100.

[0052] In this embodiment, joint brake modules 110 can be arranged in all joints 100 of the robot arm according to requirements, or arranged in a plurality of joints 100, and when the joints 100 are locked by the joint brake modules 110 and need to be unlocked, the joints 100 with the joint brake modules 110 are unlocked.

[0053] When the robot arm is in an emergency situation such as communication disconnection or software failure, the joint brake modules 110 switch to the brake mode according to the received brake control signal, the joint brake modules 110 lock the motors connected thereto, and then lock the joints 100, so that the robot arm is fixed at the current posture.

[0055] After the robot arm is dragged to the safe area, the brake release switch 11 can be released or pressed again, the brake release switch 11 switches to the second switch state, the joint brake modules 110 in the plurality of joints 100 detect that the brake release switch 11 switches to the second switch state, and the joint brake modules 110 lock the motors of the plurality of joints 100, and then lock the joints 100.

[0056] By using one brake release switch 11 to control a plurality of joint brake modules 110 to unlock a plurality of joints 100, it is not necessary to set a plurality of brake release switches 11, and it is not necessary to operate a plurality of brake release switches 11 one by one, thereby simplifying the structure and operation mode of the robot arm and improving the operation portability of the robot arm.

[0057] The brake release switch 11 can be arranged at a corresponding position of the robot arm, can be arranged at a control part of the robot arm, and can also be arranged on the joint 100 as shown in FIG. 8, and is specifically set according to operation requirements. Figure 1

[0058] Further, in order to realize brake control when the robot arm is in an emergency situation such as communication disconnection or software failure, in an optional embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the brake control device further includes: Figure 3

[0059] ​​The brake switch 20 is connected with the plurality of joint brake modules 110 respectively, and is used to control the plurality of joint brake modules 110 to act to lock the plurality of joints 100.

[0060] In the embodiment, the brake switch 20 is connected with each joint brake module 110 and controls each joint brake module 110 to work at the same time. The brake switch 20 can be switched to different switch states based on different triggering actions, and outputs a brake control signal to the joint brake module 110 to drive each joint brake module 110 to brake to lock each joint 100, or stop outputting the brake control signal, and the joint brake module 110 does not work.

[0061] When the robot arm is in an emergency situation such as communication disconnection or software failure, the brake switch 20 is pressed down, the brake switch 20 outputs a brake control signal to the joint brake module 110, the joint brake module 110 is switched to a brake mode, and the motor of each joint 100 and the plurality of joints 100 of the robot arm are locked.

[0062] When the robot arm communication recovers to normal and the software is normal and effective, the brake switch 20 can be pressed again. The brake switch 20 stops outputting the brake control signal to the joint brake module 110, the joint brake module 110 exits the work, the joint drive module in the robot arm is switched to work, each joint 100 of the robot arm recovers to the active state, and moves according to the preset angle and orientation under the driving of the joint drive module and the motor, and completes the surgical work.

[0063] Correspondingly, the brake switch 20 can be arranged at the corresponding control part of the robot arm or the joint 100. In order to facilitate the brake locking and / or brake releasing, in an optional embodiment, the brake release switch 11 and / or the brake switch 20 are arranged on the corresponding same or different joints 100 in the plurality of joints 100, so as to facilitate the medical staff to control the brake release switch 11 and / or the brake switch 20 when dragging the robot arm.

[0064] The brake switch 20 can be an emergency key or other control button. In an optional embodiment, the brake switch 20 is a safety torque off button.

[0065] The joint brake module 110 can adopt a corresponding detection module, a brake module, etc. In an optional embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the joint brake module 110 includes: Figure 4

[0066] A brake actuator 113;

[0067] A switch detection circuit 111 connected with the brake release switch 11, and used to detect the switch state of the brake release switch 11 and output a switch closing signal representing the closing of the brake release switch 11; ​

[0068] The brake driving circuit 112 is connected with the brake brake 113, the switch detection circuit 111 and the brake switch 20 respectively. The brake driving circuit 112 controls the brake brake 113 to release the joint 100 based on the switch-on signal, and controls the brake brake 113 to lock the joint based on the output signal of the brake switch 20.

[0069] In the embodiment, when the emergency situation such as communication disconnection, software failure, etc. occurs in the mechanical arm, the brake switch 20 is pressed, the brake switch 20 outputs the brake control signal to the brake driving circuit 112, the brake driving circuit 112 stops outputting the power supply signal and the enable signal to the brake brake 113, the brake brake 113 is switched to the brake mode, and the brake brake 113 locks the motor of each joint 100 and locks the plurality of joints 100 of the mechanical arm, so that the mechanical arm is fixed at the current posture.

[0070] In order to ensure the safety of the equipment or the patient and the subsequent manual operation intervention, at this time, the brake release switch 11 can be pressed, the brake release switch 11 is closed, the switch detection circuit 111 of each joint detects that the brake release switch 11 is closed, and outputs the switch-on signal, which can be a high-level signal or a low-level signal. After receiving the switch-on signal, the brake driving circuit 112 outputs the power supply signal and the enable signal to the brake brake 113, turns on the brake brake 113 of the joint 100, unlocks the motor of the joint 100, and releases the joint 100. The joint 100 is in a state that can be dragged, and the mechanical arm can be dragged to a safe area by medical staff.

[0071] After the mechanical arm is dragged to the safe area, the brake release switch 11 can be released or pressed again. The brake release switch 11 is switched to open circuit, the switch detection circuit 111 in each joint 100 detects that the brake release switch 11 is switched to open circuit state, and outputs the switch-off signal. After receiving the switch-off signal, the brake driving circuit 112 stops outputting the power supply signal and the enable signal to the brake brake 113, turns off the brake brake 113 of the joint 100, and locks the motor of the joint 100, thereby locking the joint 100.

[0072] One brake release switch 11 is used to unlock a plurality of brake brakes 113 and a plurality of joints 100, without the need to set a plurality of brake release switches 11 and operate a plurality of brake release switches 11 one by one. The structure and operation mode of the mechanical arm are simplified, and the operation portability of the mechanical arm is improved.

[0073] The two ends of the brake release switch 11 and / or the brake switch 20 can be connected to the brake module 110 of each joint through the connection lines, for example, the first end of the brake release switch 11 can be grounded, and the other end is connected to each brake module 110 through a connection line, or the two ends of the brake release switch 11 are respectively connected to each brake module 110 through connection lines. The specific connection mode can be set according to the requirements.

[0074] In an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 The two ends of the brake release switch 11 are respectively connected to each switch detection circuit 111 through the connection lines, that is, the brake control device further includes a first connection line L1 and a second connection line L2, the first connection line L1 and the second connection line L2 are arranged in each joint 100 and are respectively connected to the plurality of switch detection circuits 111, the first connection line L1 is further connected to the first end of the brake release switch 11, and the second connection line L2 is further connected to the second end of the brake release switch 11.

[0075] The first connection line L1 and the second connection line L2 constitute a signal bus and are arranged in each joint 100. The first connection line L1 and the second connection line L2 arranged in each joint 100 can be provided with corresponding interfaces, welding points, connectors and the like. For example, the first connection line L1 arranged in the joint 100 is provided with a first interface P1, and the second connection line L2 arranged in the joint 100 is provided with a second interface P2. The first interface and the second interface are connected to the switch detection circuit 111 of the joint 100 through a signal line or a connector. The first connection line L1 and the second connection line L2 form a signal loop with the brake release switch 11. The switch detection circuit 111 detects the switch state of the brake release switch 11 through the connection structure and the connection line, and outputs a switch closing signal to the brake drive circuit 112 in the joint 100 where the switch detection circuit 111 is located, so as to trigger the brake drive circuit 112 to control the brake actuator 113 to switch to the brake release mode.

[0076] By adopting the first connection line L1 and the second connection line L2, only two signal lines are required in each joint 100 of the mechanical arm to realize the connection release function of each joint 100, and the structure of the mechanical arm is simplified.

[0077] The switch detection circuit 111 can also detect the disconnection of the first connection line L1 and the second connection line L2 according to the signals transmitted by the first connection line L1 and the second connection line L2. When the switch detection circuit 111 does not detect the transmitted switch closing signal, it indicates that the connection line in the joint 100 or the connection line at the front end is disconnected. The switch detection circuit 111 can output another level signal to the brake drive circuit 112. The brake drive circuit 112 can also be connected to an indicator to indicate the disconnection state of the current connection line.

[0078] In another alternative embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 The brake release control device further comprises a plurality of third connection lines L3 and a plurality of fourth connection lines L4, which are arranged in the joint 100. The first end of a third connection line L3 and the first end of a fourth connection line L4 are respectively connected to a switch detection circuit 111. The second end of each third connection line L3 is further connected to the first end of the brake release switch 11. The second end of each fourth connection line L4 is further connected to the second end of the brake release switch 11.

[0079] In this embodiment, the first end of the brake release switch 11 is connected to a plurality of third connection lines L3, and the second end of the brake release switch 11 is connected to a plurality of fourth connection lines L4. Each switch detection circuit 111 is connected to both ends of the brake release switch 11 through a third connection line L3 and a fourth connection line L4, respectively, and detects the switch state of the brake release switch 11. When the brake release switch switches the switch state, it outputs different switch signals to the brake release driving circuit 112 in the joint 100 where it is located, thereby triggering the brake release driving circuit 112 to control the brake release switch 113 to switch to the brake release mode.

[0080] By using a plurality of third connection lines L3 and a plurality of fourth connection lines L4, the switch detection circuit 111 in each joint 100 can independently detect the switch state of the brake release switch 11. When the third connection line L3 and the fourth connection line L4 connected to the switch detection circuit 111 of other joints 100 are in an abnormal state, such as a broken line, it is not affected by the state of the other connection lines, thereby improving the accuracy of its own switch detection and the reliability of the brake release of the brake release switch 113.

[0081] The switch detection circuit 111 can also perform line break detection according to the signals transmitted by the connected third connection line L3 and fourth connection line L4. When the switch detection circuit 111 does not detect the transmitted switch closed signal, it indicates that the third connection line L3 and / or the fourth connection line L4 between its own joint 100 and the brake release switch 11 has a broken line. The switch detection circuit 111 can output another level signal to the brake release driving circuit 112. The brake release driving circuit 112 can also be connected to an indicator to indicate the broken line state of the current connection line.

[0082] The brake release module 10 can independently set the brake release switch 11, and can also set the corresponding interface, auxiliary components, etc. The switch detection circuit 111 can be provided with a corresponding comparator, level conversion circuit, etc.

[0083] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 In an alternative embodiment, the brake release module 10 further comprises a first resistor R1;

[0084] The brake release switch 11 and the first resistor R1 form a series circuit.

[0085] The switch detection circuit 111 includes a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3, and a signal amplifier U1.

[0086] The first end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the first signal end IO1 of the brake drive circuit 112 through the signal amplifier U1, the first end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the second signal end IO2 of the brake drive circuit 112, and the first ends of the second resistor R2 and the third resistor R3 are also respectively connected to the two ends of the brake release switch 11. The second end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the positive voltage end VCC, and the second end of the third resistor R3 is grounded.

[0087] In this embodiment, the brake release switch 11 can be a normally open switch SW, the signal amplifier U1 is used to amplify the voltage at the first end of the second resistor R2 and output to the brake drive circuit 112, and the two ends of the brake release switch 11 are connected to the first ends of the second resistor R2 and the third resistor R3 through the connecting lines. When the brake release switch 11 is closed, the second resistor R2 and the third resistor R3 form a voltage divider circuit, the first end of the second resistor R2 outputs a first voltage signal, for example, 0.3V, and the brake drive circuit 112 determines that the brake release switch 11 is pressed and closed when receiving the first voltage signal amplified by the signal amplifier U1. When the current brake brake 113 is in the brake mode, the brake drive circuit 112 outputs an enable signal and a power signal to drive the brake brake 113 to switch to the brake release mode and unlock and release the corresponding motor and joint 100.

[0088] When the brake release switch 11 is opened, the second resistor R2, the first resistor R1, and the third resistor R3 form a voltage divider circuit, the voltage at the first end of the second resistor R2 rises, the second end of the second resistor R2 outputs a second voltage signal, for example, 3.3V, and the brake drive circuit 112 determines that the brake release switch 11 is not pressed when receiving the second voltage signal amplified by the signal amplifier U1. In the current brake mode, the brake drive circuit 112 continues to maintain the brake brake 113 in the brake mode.

[0089] Correspondingly, when the connection line between the switch detection circuit 111 and the brake release switch 11 is disconnected, the positive voltage of the positive voltage end VCC of the second end of the second resistor R2 is directly output to the first signal end of the brake release driving circuit 112 through the signal amplifier U1, and the ground signal of the second end of the third resistor R3 is directly output to the second signal end of the brake release driving circuit 112. When the brake release driving circuit 112 receives the positive voltage and the ground signal, it can be determined that the connection line between the switch detection circuit 111 and the brake release switch 11 is disconnected, and the indicator can be triggered to issue corresponding indication information.
