[0002] In modern medical surgical environments, surgical robots are increasingly widely used, providing more precise and stable operations for complex surgeries. However, traditional surgical robots have many problems. On the one hand, current surgical robot equipment typically requires a large number of cables to connect various components such as the main control carriage and robotic arms. In the limited space of an operating room, the presence of numerous cables leads to a crowded and cluttered environment, not only affecting the movement of medical staff but also potentially tangling cables during surgery due to personnel movement or equipment movement, posing a potential threat to surgical safety. On the other hand, excessive cables increase the difficulty of cleaning the operating room and hinder the rapid deployment and adjustment of equipment. Utility Model Content

[0022] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail. While preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0023] This utility model provides a surgical robot system based on wireless communication, comprising:

[0024] The main control trolley is equipped with a first wireless communication module;

[0025] The robotic arm is equipped with a second wireless communication module, which transmits wireless signals to the first wireless communication module via Bluetooth or ZigBee protocols.

[0026] Specifically, the main control carriage and the robotic arm are respectively equipped with a first wireless communication module and a second wireless communication module. The doctor's operation instructions are converted into wireless signals by the first wireless communication module and sent to the second wireless communication module, so that the robotic arm can execute the control instructions to perform surgical operations. The two wireless communication modules use a wireless communication protocol, which can include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee or a custom high-frequency wireless communication protocol. The wireless communication modules also have sufficient transmission bandwidth and low latency to ensure the real-time and accurate transmission of surgical operation instructions.

[0027] Optionally, the main control unit is equipped with an operating interface, which is connected to the first wireless communication module.

[0028] Optionally, the user interface includes a touchscreen, buttons, and a joystick.

[0029] Optionally, the user interface communicates with the first wireless communication module through the data processing unit.

[0030] Specifically, an operating interface is set up on the main control unit. Doctors can send commands to the first wireless communication module through the operating interface by touching, pressing buttons, or using a joystick. The operating interface, through a data processing unit, can process and optimize the commands entered on the interface before sending them to the first wireless communication module. The data processing unit can also encode and encrypt the commands between the operating interface and the wireless communication module, thus ensuring the security and accuracy of the transmitted commands and preventing the commands from being interfered with by other signals.

[0031] Optionally, the robotic arm includes multiple mechanical joints, and a drive unit is provided between adjacent mechanical joints. The drive unit is connected to a second wireless communication module.

[0032] Optionally, sensors are provided on the mechanical joints, and the sensors are connected to the second wireless communication module.

[0033] Specifically, the robotic arm is equipped with a drive unit that enables each mechanical joint to move independently. The drive unit drives the mechanical joints to move according to the control commands received by the second wireless communication module. During the movement of the mechanical joints, the sensors can also monitor the position, posture, force and other information of the robotic arm in real time. The data on the sensors will be fed back to the first wireless communication module of the main control console through the second wireless communication module, and then displayed on the operation interface. Doctors can understand this in time and make it convenient to adjust the movements of the surgical robot in real time.

[0034] Optionally, an annular electromagnet and a rotating shaft are provided between adjacent mechanical joints. A friction plate is provided between the inner wall of the annular electromagnet and the outer wall of the rotating shaft. When the annular electromagnet is energized, the friction plate separates from the rotating shaft. When the annular electromagnet is de-energized, the friction plate is in contact with the rotating shaft.

[0035] Specifically, since the main control carriage and robotic arm in this robot system do not transmit signals and receive power via cables, signal or power interruptions are prone to occur, which can lead to the robotic arm going out of control. A ring-shaped electromagnet is installed between each mechanical joint of the robotic arm, encasing the outer circumference of the rotating shaft. Multiple circumferentially distributed friction plates are placed between them. The friction plates have metal on the side facing the electromagnet and nylon blocks on the side facing the rotating shaft. When a power outage occurs, the friction plates are no longer attracted by the ring-shaped electromagnet, and the nylon blocks firmly hold the outer surface of the rotating shaft, preventing the robotic arm from rotating. In the event of a signal interruption, the second wireless communication module also sends a signal to the electromagnet's power supply unit to cut off the power to the electromagnet.

[0036] Optionally, it also includes a grating, which is disposed on the outer periphery of the robotic arm and is communicatively connected to the first wireless communication module.

[0037] Specifically, it is also equipped with a grating, and other medical devices are set up around the surgical robot system. The grating limits the range of motion of the robotic arm. When the robotic arm moves beyond its limit and touches the grating's rays, the grating will send a command to the second wireless communication module, causing the drive unit to immediately stop the output of the driving force to avoid danger.

[0038] Optionally, it also includes a storage module, which is connected to the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module.

[0039] Specifically, the robot system is equipped with a storage module that can record the doctor's instructions from the main control console and the movement trajectory of the robotic arm, recording the entire surgical process. This data can be used for teaching demonstrations or surgical standardization surveys.

[0040] Example

[0041] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this utility model provides a surgical robot system based on wireless communication, comprising:

[0042] The main control carriage 1 is equipped with a first wireless communication module 3;

[0043] The robotic arm 2 is equipped with a second wireless communication module 4, which transmits wireless signals to the first wireless communication module 3 via Bluetooth or ZigBee protocol.

[0044] In this embodiment, the main control carriage 1 is equipped with an operation interface, which is connected to the first wireless communication module 3.

[0045] In this embodiment, the user interface includes a touch screen, buttons, and a joystick.

[0046] In this embodiment, the user interface is connected to the first wireless communication module 3 via the data processing unit.

[0047] In this embodiment, the robotic arm 2 includes multiple mechanical joints 5, and a drive unit is provided between adjacent mechanical joints 5. The drive unit is connected to the second wireless communication module 4.

[0048] In this embodiment, sensors are respectively provided on the mechanical joints 5, and the sensors are connected to the second wireless communication module 4.

[0049] In this embodiment, an annular electromagnet 6 and a rotating shaft 7 are provided between adjacent mechanical joints 5. A friction plate 8 is provided between the inner wall of the annular electromagnet 6 and the outer wall of the rotating shaft 7. When the annular electromagnet 6 is energized, the friction plate 8 separates from the rotating shaft 7. When the annular electromagnet 6 is de-energized, the friction plate 8 is in contact with the rotating shaft 7.

[0050] In this embodiment, a grating is also included. The grating is disposed on the outer periphery of the robotic arm and is communicatively connected to the first wireless communication module.

[0051] In this embodiment, a storage module is also included, which is connected to the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module.

[0052] In summary, this robotic system achieves wireless connectivity between the main control console 1 and the robotic arm 2 by installing wireless communication modules on both. The main control console 1 receives the operating instructions from the surgeon 9, processes, encodes, and encrypts them through the data processing unit, and then transmits them accurately and quickly in the form of wireless signals using the first wireless communication module 3. The second wireless communication module 4 on the robotic arm 2 receives these wireless signals and converts them into control instructions that the drive unit can recognize, thereby driving the robotic arm to perform surgical operations. The placement of sensors is particularly crucial in this process. These sensors can monitor the position, posture, and force of the robotic arm 2 in real time and provide feedback to the main control console 1. Based on this feedback, the main control console 1 can adjust and optimize subsequent operating instructions in real time, ensuring the precision of the surgical operation. This wireless communication method avoids the problems of crowded and cluttered operating room spaces and potential safety hazards associated with traditional cable connections. Furthermore, the selection of the wireless communication protocol and the processing of instructions by the data processing unit ensure the real-time performance, accuracy, and safety of the surgical operation instructions, meeting the high requirements of surgical robots in complex surgical environments and effectively improving surgical efficiency and quality. By adopting the technical solution of this invention, the environmental layout of the operating room can be greatly improved, the surgical risks caused by cable problems can be reduced, and strong support can be provided for the further application and development of surgical robots in the medical field.

[0053] In addition, friction plates 8 are installed between each pair of mechanical joints of the robotic arm. When the robotic arm 2 receives a power outage and signal interruption command, the annular electromagnet 6 no longer generates magnetism, causing the friction plates 8 to hold the rotating shaft 7 tightly.

[0054] The various embodiments of the present invention have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
