Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically an adjustable shoulder support for da Vinci robotic surgery. Background Technology
[0002] The da Vinci Surgical System is one of the most advanced minimally invasive surgical systems in the world. It provides high-definition three-dimensional vision, enhanced operational stability and flexibility, and helps doctors perform more precise and complex surgical procedures. In robotic surgery, the patient needs to be positioned with their head lower than their shoulders. At this time, a U-shaped soft pillow is used to elevate the patient's head and shoulders. During the operation, a shoulder support is used to hold the U-shaped soft pillow in place to prevent the patient's head from shifting downward.
[0003] As disclosed in Chinese Patent CN112914940A, an adjustable shoulder support for robotic surgery is achieved by using a first motor to drive the rotation of a screw to realize the lateral movement of the shoulder support body in the horizontal direction, using a second motor in the device box to realize the angle adjustment of the shoulder support body in the horizontal direction, and using a cylinder to realize the longitudinal movement of the shoulder support body in the horizontal direction. Thus, it can be adjusted according to different body shapes of patients, increasing the applicability of the overall device.
[0004] While this structure allows for adjustment of the shoulder support position, it is inconvenient to disassemble the shoulder support when it is damaged. Therefore, we propose an adjustable shoulder support for da Vinci robotic surgery that allows for quick disassembly of damaged shoulder supports to improve patient comfort. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable shoulder support for da Vinci robotic surgery to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable shoulder support for da Vinci robotic surgery, comprising an operating table, a support seat slidably disposed on the top surface of the operating table, a cylinder fixedly mounted on the top surface of the support seat, a fixing frame disposed at the end of the cylinder, and a processing component disposed on the side of the cylinder near the fixing frame, the processing component including a disassembly and assembly component fixedly mounted on the output end of the cylinder, and a shoulder support component disposed on the side of the disassembly and assembly component away from the cylinder.
[0007] Preferably, the disassembly and assembly assembly includes a mounting block fixedly installed at the cylinder output end. The top surface of the mounting block has a sliding groove, and a sliding plate is slidably disposed inside the sliding groove. A first magnetic block is fixedly installed on the top surface of the sliding plate. A connecting block is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixing frame. A T-shaped groove is opened on the outer wall of the connecting block. A limit groove is opened on the inner wall of the T-shaped groove. A limit block is slidably disposed inside the limit groove. A spring is fixedly installed on the side wall of the limit block. A pressing block is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the limit block. A second magnetic block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the pressing block.
[0008] Preferably, the shoulder support assembly includes a skin-friendly layer disposed inside the fixed frame, an anti-adhesive layer fixedly installed at the bottom of the skin-friendly layer, an adhesive layer fixedly installed at the bottom of the anti-adhesive layer, a contour layer fixedly installed at the bottom of the adhesive layer, an expansion layer fixedly installed at the bottom of the contour layer, and a latex layer fixedly installed at the bottom of the expansion layer.
[0009] Preferably, the second magnetic block and the first magnetic block are magnetically attracted to each other, and the first magnetic block is engaged with the inside of the T-slot. Under its constraint, the connecting block and the mounting block can be stably inserted.
[0010] Preferably, one end of the spring is fixedly installed to the bottom of the limiting block, and the end of the spring away from the limiting block is fixedly installed to the inner wall of the limiting groove. When the pressing block is not pressed, the pressing block and the second magnetic block can be pushed upward and reset under the elastic action of the spring.
[0011] Preferably, the anti-adhesive layer is made of an anti-adhesive material and the skin-friendly layer is made of a skin-friendly material. The anti-adhesive layer makes the shoulder support easier to clean, and the skin-friendly layer improves patient comfort.
[0012] Preferably, the contour layer is made of a memory material and the expansion layer is made of a shrinkable material. When the patient comes into contact with the shoulder support, the contour layer can position the patient's body shape, and the unused part of the shoulder support is supported by the expansion layer to wrap around the patient and provide stable support.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. The adjustable shoulder support for the da Vinci robotic surgery system is composed of a detachable assembly. When quick installation of the shoulder support assembly is required, the connecting block fixed to the outer wall of the machining component is inserted into the outer wall of the mounting block, causing the T-slot on the outer wall of the connecting block to engage with the mounting block. When the first and second magnetic blocks are aligned, the magnetic attraction pulls the first magnetic block upwards, causing it to engage with the inside of the T-slot. This allows for quick installation of the connecting block, fixing frame, and shoulder support assembly at the cylinder end. When the shoulder support assembly needs replacement after prolonged use, pressing the pressing block engages the limiting block fixed to the outer wall of the pressing block within the limiting groove. The sliding mechanism compresses the spring, causing the second magnetic block, which is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the pressing block, to push the first magnetic block, causing the first magnetic block to slide into the groove. At this point, the first magnetic block is no longer engaged with the T-slot. Pulling the connecting block allows the connecting block and the mounting block to be disassembled. When the pressing block is no longer pressed, the spring's elasticity pushes the limiting block upward, causing the limiting block to drive the pressing block to return to its original position. This structure allows for quick disassembly and assembly of the connecting block and the mounting block, making the replacement of the shoulder support assembly more convenient. (The operating table, support base, cylinder, and fixing frame are existing publicly disclosed technologies in the prior art, therefore their structures are not fully described in this case.)
[0015] 2. This adjustable shoulder support for the da Vinci robotic surgery system comprises a shoulder support assembly. During use, the skin-friendly layer enhances patient comfort, while the anti-adhesive layer prevents sweat from adhering to the outer wall and penetrating the interior, extending the shoulder support's lifespan and making it easier to clean. The conforming layer allows the shoulder support to fit the patient's body shape, and the contour layer helps to position the support according to the patient's body shape. The expansion layer expands unused areas of the shoulder support, enveloping the patient, and the latex layer provides support for the expansion layer, making the overall shoulder support softer. This structure improves patient comfort and can be adjusted according to the patient's body shape for further enhancement. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Example 1: A preferred embodiment of the adjustable shoulder support for da Vinci robotic surgery provided by this utility model. Figures 1 to 6 As shown: An adjustable shoulder support for da Vinci robotic surgery, including an operating table 1;
[0025] A support base 2 is slidably installed on the top surface of the operating table 1;
[0026] A cylinder 3 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support base 2;
[0027] A fixing frame 5 is provided at the end of cylinder 3;
[0028] And a processing component 4 is provided on the side of the cylinder 3 near the fixed frame 5. The processing component 4 includes a disassembly and assembly component 41 fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder 3. The disassembly and assembly component 41 includes a mounting block 411 fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder 3. A sliding groove 412 is provided on the top surface of the mounting block 411. A sliding plate 413 is slidably arranged inside the sliding groove 412. A first magnetic block 414 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the sliding plate 413. A connecting block 415 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixed frame 5. A T-shaped groove 416 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting block 415. A limit groove 417 is provided on the inner wall of the T-shaped groove 416. A limit block 418 is slidably arranged inside the limit groove 417. A spring 419 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the limit block 418. A pressing block 420 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the limit block 418. A second magnetic block 421 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the pressing block 420.
[0029] In this embodiment, when the shoulder support assembly 43 needs to be quickly installed, the connecting block 415, which is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the processing component 4, is inserted into the outer wall of the mounting block 411, so that the T-slot 416 on the outer wall of the connecting block 415 engages with the mounting block 411. When the first magnetic block 414 and the second magnetic block 421 are facing each other, under the restriction of magnetic attraction, the first magnetic block 414 is pulled upward, so that the first magnetic block 414 engages with the inside of the T-slot 416, thereby quickly installing the connecting block 415, the fixing frame 5, and the shoulder support assembly 43 at the end of the cylinder 3. When the shoulder support assembly 43 needs to be replaced after prolonged use, the pressing block 420 is pressed, so that the limiting block 418 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the pressing block 420 slides inside the limiting groove 417, and compresses the spring 419, so that the pressing block 415, the fixing frame 5, and the shoulder support assembly 43 are quickly installed at the end of the cylinder 3. The second magnetic block 421, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the pressure block 420, pushes the first magnetic block 414, causing the first magnetic block 414 to slide into the slide groove 412. At this time, the first magnetic block 414 is no longer engaged with the T-slot 416. By pulling the connecting block 415, the connecting block 415 and the mounting block 411 can be disassembled. When the pressure block 420 is no longer pressed, the limiting block 418 is pushed upward under the elastic action of the spring 419, so that the limiting block 418 drives the pressure block 420 to move upward to reset. This structure can quickly disassemble and assemble the connecting block 415 and the mounting block 411, making the replacement of the shoulder support assembly 43 more convenient. (The operating table 1, support base 2, cylinder 3, and fixing frame 5 are existing publicly disclosed technologies in the prior art, so their structures are not fully described in this case.)
[0030] Furthermore, the second magnetic block 421 is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic block 414, and the first magnetic block 414 is internally engaged with the T-slot 416. Under its constraint, the connecting block 415 and the mounting block 411 can be stably inserted.
[0031] Furthermore, one end of the spring 419 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the limiting block 418, and the other end of the spring 419 away from the limiting block 418 is fixedly installed at the inner wall of the limiting groove 417. When the pressing block 420 is not pressed, the pressing block 420 and the second magnetic block 421 can be pushed upward and reset under the elastic action of the spring 419.
[0032] Example 2: Based on Example 1, a preferred embodiment of the adjustable shoulder support for the da Vinci robotic surgery provided by this utility model is as follows: Figures 1 to 6 As shown: The shoulder support assembly 43 includes a skin-friendly layer 431 disposed inside the fixed frame 5, an anti-adhesive layer 432 fixedly installed at the bottom of the skin-friendly layer 431, an adhesive layer 433 fixedly installed at the bottom of the anti-adhesive layer 432, a contour layer 434 fixedly installed at the bottom of the adhesive layer 433, an expansion layer 435 fixedly installed at the bottom of the contour layer 434, and a latex layer 436 fixedly installed at the bottom of the expansion layer 435.
[0033] In this embodiment, when the patient uses the shoulder support, the skin-friendly layer 431 provides greater comfort, the anti-adhesive layer 432 prevents sweat from adhering to the outer wall of the shoulder support and from penetrating into the interior, thus extending the lifespan of the shoulder support and making it easier to clean. The conforming layer 433 allows the shoulder support to fit snugly against the patient's body shape, and the contour layer 434 helps to position the shoulder support according to the patient's body shape. In conjunction with the expansion layer 435, the unused areas of the shoulder support are expanded, allowing the shoulder support to wrap around the patient. The latex layer 436 provides support for the expansion layer 435, making the shoulder support softer overall. This structure improves patient comfort and can be adjusted according to the patient's body shape, further enhancing patient comfort.
[0034] Furthermore, the anti-adhesive layer 432 is made of an anti-adhesive material, and the skin-friendly layer 431 is made of a skin-friendly material. Under the restriction of the anti-adhesive layer 432, the shoulder support is easier to clean, and under the restriction of the skin-friendly layer 431, the patient's comfort is improved.
[0035] In addition, the contour layer 434 is made of memory material and the expansion layer 435 is made of shrinkable material. When the patient comes into contact with the shoulder support, the contour layer 434 can position the patient's body shape. The unused part of the shoulder support is supported by the expansion layer 435 to wrap around the patient and provide stable support.
[0036] The above are merely illustrative embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any equivalent changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principles of this utility model should fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that the components of this utility model are not limited to the overall application described above. Each technical feature described in the specification can be used individually or in combination as needed. Therefore, this utility model naturally covers other combinations and specific applications related to the points of this utility model.
