[0004] The above-mentioned blood vessel forceps have many disadvantages in actual use. During long-time surgical operation, the doctor needs to continuously hold the blood vessel forceps and maintain a certain clamping force, which is a great test for the hand strength and endurance of the doctor. Moreover, after clamping the blood vessel, if the doctor needs to free his hand to perform other operations, such as replacing surgical instruments, suturing, etc., an assistant needs to assist in fixing the blood vessel forceps or other temporary fixing measures are adopted, which not only increases the complexity and labor demand of the surgical operation, but also may affect the surgical progress and effect due to improper cooperation. In addition, the clamping force of the traditional blood vessel forceps is difficult to accurately control, and for some fragile blood vessels or delicate tissues, irreversible damage may be caused due to excessive clamping force, which affects the success rate of the operation and the postoperative recovery of the patient.

[0020] Further, a handle is arranged on the handle rod, and anti-slip texture is arranged on the surface of the handle.

[0021] The anti-slip texture on the surface of the handle is made by laser etching process.

[0022] Furthermore, the handle is provided with a control component for controlling the locking and unlocking of the drive rod; the control component includes a first locking tooth disposed at the bottom of the handle, and a second locking tooth that cooperates with the first locking tooth is hinged to the drive rod; a return torsion spring is provided at the hinge point between the second locking tooth and the drive rod.

[0023] Furthermore, both the first and second clamping arms have anti-slip protrusions on their clamping surfaces.

[0024] The anti-slip protrusions on the clamping surfaces of the first and second clamping arms are made of granular rubber.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the self-locking vascular clamp provided by this utility model are:

[0026] This invention relates to a self-locking vascular clamp. By incorporating a self-locking structure, the clamp automatically locks itself after being closed to the appropriate position, eliminating the need for continuous external force from the surgeon. This allows the surgeon to intermittently relax their hand muscles during surgery, effectively reducing hand fatigue caused by prolonged surgical procedures.

[0027] The self-locking function allows surgeons greater freedom to perform multiple instrument operations or other complex actions during surgery. When surgeons need to free their hands for suturing, knot tying, or other procedures, the self-locking hemostat can stably hold the blood vessel without the need for an assistant, reducing coordination between surgical personnel and improving surgical efficiency.

[0028] The adjustable mechanism of this vascular clamp allows for easy adjustment of the sliding stroke of the sliding rod, thereby precisely controlling the clamping force of the first and second clamping arms. By rotating the adjusting screw, the appropriate clamping force can be set according to different surgical scenarios and blood vessel types. For thin-walled or small blood vessels, the surgeon can reduce the clamping force to avoid excessive compression of the vessel wall, which could lead to rupture or intimal damage; for thicker or more resilient blood vessels, the clamping force can be appropriately increased to ensure reliable clamping. This precise control of clamping force helps protect vascular tissue, improves surgical success rates, and enhances patient prognosis.

[0029] The damping structure at the drive rod's rotation axis effectively enhances the stability of the vascular clamp. When the self-locking position is not reached, the damping force ensures that the drive rod maintains stable resistance during rotation, preventing loosening due to the vascular clamp's own weight or minor external forces.

[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantage of the utility model embodiment more clear, the following will be to the technical scheme in the utility model embodiment, clear, complete description in the utility model embodiment is combined with the drawings in the utility model embodiment.

[0037] As Figs. 1-3 As shown is the first embodiment of the utility model provided a kind of self-locking vascular forceps, in the embodiment, including handle bar 10, handle bar 10 front end is provided with the first clamping arm 11 that is bent to one side, handle bar 10 is provided with sliding rod 20, sliding rod 20 and handle bar 10 sliding fit, sliding rod 20 front end is provided with the second clamping arm 12, the second clamping arm 12 is parallelly arranged with the first clamping arm 11, sliding rod 20 rear end is provided with the drive assembly 30 for driving sliding rod 20 sliding, the drive assembly 30 includes drive rod 31, drive rod 31 is hinged on handle bar 10, wherein, the upper end of drive rod 31 is close to the side of first clamping arm 11 and abuts against sliding rod 20, handle bar 10 and drive rod 31 are provided with self-locking structure 40, for locking position after drive rod 31 rotates to a certain angle, make first clamping arm 11 and second clamping arm 12 keep clamping state.

The lock block is cuboid in shape, and its size is matched with the lock slot, and its width is slightly smaller than the width of the lock slot. The front end of the lock block (i.e. the end facing the entrance of the lock slot) is provided with a guide inclined surface, and the angle of the inclined surface is about 30-45 degrees, so that the lock block can smoothly slide into the lock slot during the rotation of the driving rod to close the vessel forceps. When the driving rod is rotated to the position where the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are closed to the appropriate clamping force, the lock block is clamped into the lock slot under the action of the elastic force (such as the elastic deformation recovery force of the driving rod itself or the elastic force of an additional small spring), and self-locking is achieved. When unlocking, the second locking tooth is disengaged from the engagement with the first locking tooth by operating the control assembly, and then an external force is applied to rotate the driving rod, so that the lock block exits along the lock slot, and the self-locking state is released. At this time, the elastic traction member can drive the sliding rod to reset, so that the vessel forceps are opened.

The adjusting structure includes an adjusting screw, and the adjusting screw is connected with the end of the elastic traction member away from the sliding rod 20.

[0044] By rotating the adjusting screw, the position of the adjusting screw in the threaded hole can be changed, so as to adjust the stretching length of the elastic traction member, and further change the initial position and sliding stroke of the sliding rod. A knob is arranged on the head of the adjusting screw for convenient rotation operation.

[0047] Further, in the above technical solution, the handle 13 is arranged on the handle rod 10, and the handle 13 is provided with anti-skid textures on the surface.

[0048] Further, in the above technical solution, the handle 13 is arranged on the handle rod 10, and the handle 13 is provided with anti-skid textures on the surface.

[0049] The connecting mode of the rubber particles of the anti-skid protrusions and the clamping arms is embedded, that is, a groove matched with the shape of the bottom of the particles is formed on the clamping surface of the clamping arm, and then the rubber particles are bonded in the groove through glue, so that the particles are firmly attached to the clamping arm, and it is ensured that the particles will not fall off in the long-term use process.

[0050] Specifically, the principle of the utility model is:

[0051] The clamping action principle is:

[0052] When the doctor operates the driving assembly, the driving rod rotates around the hinge point of the driving rod and the handle rod. Since the upper end of the driving rod is close to the driving connection part of the sliding rod on the side of the first clamping arm, the rotation of the driving rod will push the sliding rod to slide along the handle rod. The second clamping arm at the front end of the sliding rod cooperates with the first clamping arm fixed at the front end of the handle rod, so as to realize the clamping action on the blood vessel or tissue.

[0053] The self-locking principle is:

[0054] During the rotation of the driving rod, when the hemostat is closed to the appropriate clamping force position, the lock block in the self-locking structure is clamped into the lock groove on the handle rod under the action of the elastic force. The guide inclined surface at the front end of the lock block helps it to smoothly slide into the lock groove, and the buffer limiting structure at both ends of the lock groove ensures the stability of the movement of the lock block. Once the lock block is clamped into the lock groove, the driving rod cannot rotate freely due to the mechanical cooperation between the lock groove and the lock block, thereby realizing the self-locking function of the hemostat. At this time, even if the doctor releases the operating force on the driving rod, the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm can still maintain the stable clamping of the blood vessel. When unlocking, the second locking tooth is disengaged from the meshing with the first locking tooth by operating the control assembly, and then an external force is applied to rotate the driving rod, the lock block is withdrawn along the lock groove, the self-locking state is released, the elastic traction member drives the sliding rod to reset, and the hemostat is opened.

[0055] The elastic reset principle is:

[0056] The elastic traction member plays an important role in the entire operation of the vascular clamp. One end is connected with the sliding rod, and the other end is connected with the rear end of the handle rod. In the natural state, the elastic traction member is in a stretched state, exerting a backward pulling force on the sliding rod. When the driving rod pushes the sliding rod to move forward to achieve clamping, the elastic traction member is further stretched, storing elastic potential energy. When the self-locking structure is unlocked, the elastic traction member releases the elastic potential energy, pulling the sliding rod to move backward, making the vascular clamp return to the initial open position, ready for the next clamping operation;

[0057] Damping principle:

[0058] The damping structure generates damping force at the hinge shaft of the driving rod and the handle rod through various ways. For example, a nested sleeve structure filled with damping grease is used. When the driving rod rotates, the damping grease between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve generates shear resistance, hindering the rotation of the inner sleeve relative to the outer sleeve. At the same time, the contact of the rubber strip on the outer surface of the inner sleeve with the inner wall of the outer sleeve and the extrusion of the rubber strip on the damping grease further increases the friction during rotation, thus forming a stable damping effect. The existence of this damping force makes the driving rod always subject to a certain resistance during rotation, whether during the opening and closing operation of the vascular clamp or when approaching the self-locking position, making the operation more stable and precise, effectively avoiding unstable clamping or accidental unlocking due to excessive operation speed or external force interference.
