Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of staple assembly, and in particular to a transfer and lifting device for assembling staples of unequal heights. Background Technology

[0002] Anastomosis staples are medical devices used in surgical procedures to replace manual sutures. They are usually made of stainless steel or titanium alloy and have good biocompatibility. Through special structural design, they can quickly and accurately connect tissues together, reducing operation time and infection risk. They are widely used in surgeries of organs such as the gastrointestinal tract and lungs.

[0003] A stapler gun is an instrument used for installing and operating staples. It typically consists of a staple cartridge, a firing mechanism, and a stapler handle. The staple cartridge contains the staples, and the firing mechanism is used to precisely drive the staples from the cartridge into the tissue. The staples are pre-assembled into the cartridge during manufacturing. During staple assembly, the cartridge is first fixed to the assembly base, and then a robotic arm is used to assemble the staples into the cartridge, completing the staple assembly.

[0004] In actual assembly operations, different surgical scenarios have different requirements for the height of the staples, resulting in varying staple heights. Most existing automated assembly equipment adopts a fixed-height assembly method, which is difficult to adapt to the needs of staples with different heights, leading to insufficient assembly accuracy or low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to address the problem that most existing automated assembly equipment uses a fixed-height assembly method, which is difficult to adapt to the needs of unequal-height staples, resulting in insufficient assembly accuracy or low efficiency. This application provides a transfer and lifting device for assembling unequal-height staples.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A transfer and lifting device for assembling staples of unequal height includes a support base, an electric slide rail fixed on the support base, an assembly table slidably connected to the electric slide rail, two symmetrical assembly seats on the assembly table, a clamping mechanism on the assembly seats, a height adjustment mechanism between the assembly seats and the assembly table, and an assembly robot arm mounted on one side of the support base.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the staple cartridge is fixed on the assembly base using a clamping mechanism, and the assembly base is driven by a height adjustment mechanism, which in turn drives the staple cartridge to adjust its height. This allows the distance between the assembly compartment of the staple cartridge and the assembly robot arm to be adjusted, thereby adapting to the needs of staples with different heights and improving the assembly accuracy and efficiency of staples.

[0009] Furthermore, the height adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment seat fixed on the assembly base, a moving groove corresponding to the adjustment seat is provided on the assembly platform, the adjustment seat is located in the moving groove and is slidably connected to the assembly platform, a limit block is fixed on the side of the adjustment seat away from the assembly base, and a lifting component is provided between the adjustment seat and the assembly platform.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjusting seat moves in the moving groove, while the limiting block limits the adjusting seat, thereby making it easy for the adjusting seat to drive the assembly seat to change its height, and making it easy for the assembly seat to drive the staple cartridge to change its assembly height.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a lifting ramp disposed on one side of the adjusting seat, the lifting ramp being slidably connected to the assembly table, and the bottom of the adjusting seat having a lifting ramp surface corresponding to the lifting ramp.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting ramp can move along the lifting ramp surface opened on the adjusting seat when it moves, thereby making it easier to raise the lifting ramp adjusting seat.

[0013] Furthermore, a sliding rod is fixed on the lifting inclined block, and a sliding groove corresponding to the sliding rod is opened on the lifting inclined surface. The sliding rod is located in the sliding groove and is slidably connected to the adjusting seat.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lifting inclined block moves, the lifting inclined block drives the sliding rod to move in the sliding groove of the lifting inclined block, thereby maintaining the contact between the lifting inclined block and the lifting inclined surface.

[0015] Furthermore, a threaded block is fixed on the lifting inclined block, the threaded block is slidably connected to the assembly table, a lifting threaded rod is threaded through the threaded block, the lifting threaded rod is rotatably connected to the assembly table, a drive motor is fixed on one side of the assembly table, the output end of the drive motor passes through the assembly table and is fixedly connected to the lifting threaded rod.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded rod rotates, driving the threaded block to move, which in turn makes it easy to move the threaded block to move the lifting inclined block.

[0017] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping seat one fixed on the assembly base, a clamping seat two provided on one side of the clamping seat one, and a moving component provided between the clamping seat two and the assembly base.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the staple cartridge is placed between clamping seat one and clamping seat two, and the moving component drives clamping seat two to move toward clamping seat one, thereby making it convenient and stable to fix the staple cartridge on the mounting base, and at the same time, it is convenient to fix staple cartridges of different sizes.

[0019] Furthermore, the movable component includes a movable block fixed on the clamping base two. The movable block is L-shaped, and a clamping threaded rod is threadedly connected through the movable block. One end of the clamping threaded rod is rotatably connected to the mounting base.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping threaded rod is rotated, allowing the moving block to move on the clamping threaded rod, thereby facilitating the movement of the moving block to drive the clamping seat two to move.

[0021] Furthermore, a sliding block is fixed on the second clamping seat, and the sliding block is slidably connected to the assembly seat.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the clamping seat 2 moves, it drives the sliding block to move on the assembly seat, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the clamping seat 2.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects;

[0024] 1. This application utilizes a drive motor to rotate a lifting threaded rod, which in turn drives a threaded block. The threaded block then drives a lifting inclined block, causing the inclined surface of the lifting inclined block to abut against the lifting inclined surface of the adjusting seat. As the lifting inclined block moves on the lifting inclined surface, a sliding rod fixed on the lifting inclined block slides within a sliding groove, improving the stability of the contact between the lifting inclined block and the lifting inclined surface. The lifting inclined block also causes the adjusting seat to lift the assembly seat, which in turn causes the staple cartridge to change height to accommodate staples of varying heights. This achieves the goal of facilitating the lifting and lowering of the assembly seat by the adjusting seat, allowing the staple cartridge on the assembly seat to change height to accommodate staples of different heights, and improving the assembly accuracy and efficiency of staples.

[0025] 2. In this application, by placing the staple cartridge between clamping seat one and clamping seat two, allowing the staple cartridge to abut against clamping seat one, and then rotating the clamping threaded rod, the moving block moves on the clamping threaded rod. The moving block drives clamping seat two, which moves under the support of the sliding block, so that clamping seat one and clamping seat two clamp the staple cartridge, thus completing the fixation of the staple cartridge. This achieves the purpose of conveniently and stably fixing the staple cartridge to the mounting base, while also facilitating the fixation of staple cartridges of different sizes.

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 —4 provides further detailed description of this application.

[0033] This application discloses a transfer and lifting device for assembling unequal-height staples.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A transfer and lifting device for assembling unequal-height staples includes a support base 1, an electric slide rail 3 fixed on the support base 1, an assembly table 2 slidably connected to the electric slide rail 3, two symmetrical assembly seats 4 on the assembly table 2, a clamping mechanism 5 on the assembly seats 4, a height adjustment mechanism 6 between the assembly seats 4 and the assembly table 2, and an assembly robot arm 7 installed on one side of the support base 1.

[0035] When assembling the staples, the staple cartridge is first fixed to the assembly base 4 using the clamping mechanism 5. Then, the assembly robot 7 assembles the staples one by one into the staple cartridge. At the same time, the electric slide rail 3 drives the assembly table 2, which in turn moves the assembly base 4, aligning the staple cartridge assembly position on the assembly base 4 with the assembly robot 7. When the staples have different heights, the height adjustment mechanism 6 moves the assembly base 4, which in turn moves the staple cartridge to adjust its height, thus adjusting the distance between the staple cartridge assembly compartment and the assembly robot 7. By using the height adjustment mechanism 6 to move the assembly base 4 on the assembly table 2, the height of the staple cartridge held on the assembly base 4 changes, and the distance between the staple cartridge height and the assembly robot 7 changes, thereby adapting to the needs of staples with different heights and improving the assembly accuracy and efficiency of the staples.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The height adjustment mechanism 6 includes an adjustment seat 61 fixed on the assembly base 4. The assembly table 2 has a moving groove 62 corresponding to the adjustment seat 61. The adjustment seat 61 is located in the moving groove 62 and is slidably connected to the assembly table 2. A limit block 63 is fixed on the side of the adjustment seat 61 away from the assembly base 4. A lifting component 64 is provided between the adjustment seat 61 and the assembly table 2.

[0037] In addition, the lifting assembly 64 includes a lifting ramp 641 disposed on one side of the adjusting seat 61. The lifting ramp 641 is slidably connected to the assembly table 2. The bottom of the adjusting seat 61 is provided with a lifting ramp 642 corresponding to the lifting ramp 641.

[0038] Furthermore, a sliding rod 643 is fixed on the lifting inclined block 641, and a sliding groove corresponding to the sliding rod 643 is opened on the lifting inclined surface 642. The sliding rod 643 is located in the sliding groove and is slidably connected to the adjusting seat 61.

[0039] Furthermore, a threaded block 646 is fixed on the lifting inclined block 641. The threaded block 646 is slidably connected to the assembly table 2. A lifting threaded rod 645 is threadedly connected through the threaded block 646. The lifting threaded rod 645 is rotatably connected to the assembly table 2. A drive motor 647 is fixed on one side of the assembly table 2. The output end of the drive motor 647 passes through the assembly table 2 and is fixedly connected to the lifting threaded rod 645.

[0040] When installing a matching staple on the staple cartridge, if a matching staple of a different height needs to be installed, the drive motor 647 drives the lifting threaded rod 645 to rotate. The lifting threaded rod 645 drives the threaded block 646, which in turn drives the lifting inclined block 641. The inclined surface of the lifting inclined block 641 abuts against the lifting inclined surface 642 of the adjusting seat 61. As the lifting inclined block 641 moves on the lifting inclined surface 642, the sliding rod 643 fixed on the lifting inclined block 641 slides in the sliding groove, improving the stability of the contact between the lifting inclined block 641 and the lifting inclined surface 642. The lifting inclined block 641 also drives the adjusting seat 61 to raise the assembly seat 4, which in turn causes the staple cartridge to change position. The height-adaptable matching staples can be adjusted to different heights. When the assembly seat 4 needs to be lowered, the lifting threaded rod 645 is rotated in the opposite direction. The lifting threaded rod 645 drives the threaded block 646, which in turn drives the lifting inclined block 641 away from the adjusting seat 61. With the cooperation of the sliding rod 643, the adjusting seat 61 is lowered in the moving groove 62, and the assembly seat 4 is lowered along with the adjusting seat 61. By utilizing the contact between the lifting inclined block 641 and the lifting inclined surface 642 on the adjusting seat 61, the lifting inclined block 641 can move on the lifting inclined surface 642. This allows the adjusting seat 61 to easily drive the assembly seat 4 to rise and fall, and facilitates the change of the staple cartridge height on the assembly seat 4 to adapt to matching staples of different heights, thereby improving the assembly accuracy and efficiency of the matching staples.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The clamping mechanism 5 includes a clamping seat 51 fixed on the mounting base 4, a clamping seat 52 on one side of the clamping seat 51, and a moving component 53 between the clamping seat 52 and the mounting base 4.

[0042] In addition, the moving component 53 includes a moving block 531 fixed on the clamping base 52. The moving block 531 is L-shaped and a clamping threaded rod 532 is threaded through the moving block 531. One end of the clamping threaded rod 532 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 4.

[0043] Furthermore, a sliding block 54 is fixed on the clamping base 2 52, and the sliding block 54 is slidably connected to the mounting base 4.

[0044] When securing the staple cartridge, first place the staple cartridge between clamping seat 1 51 and clamping seat 2 52, so that the staple cartridge abuts against clamping seat 1 51. Then rotate the clamping threaded rod 532, so that the moving block 531 moves on the clamping threaded rod 532. The moving block 531 drives clamping seat 2 52, which moves under the support of the sliding block 54, so that clamping seat 1 51 and clamping seat 2 52 clamp the staple cartridge, thus securing the staple cartridge. When it is necessary to remove the assembled staple cartridge, rotate the clamping threaded rod 532 in the opposite direction, so that the moving block 531 drives clamping seat 2 52 away from clamping seat 1 51. Then remove the staple cartridge. By placing the staple cartridge between clamping seat 1 51 and clamping seat 2 52 and then rotating the clamping threaded rod 532, clamping seat 2 52 moves toward clamping seat 1 51, the staple cartridge can be easily and stably fixed on the assembly base 4, and it is also convenient to fix staple cartridges of different sizes.

[0045] Working principle: When it is necessary to assemble the staples into the staple cartridge, firstly, place the staple cartridge between clamping seat 1 51 and clamping seat 2 52, so that the staple cartridge abuts against clamping seat 1 51. Then, rotate the clamping threaded rod 532, causing the moving block 531 to move on the clamping threaded rod 532. The moving block 531 drives clamping seat 2 52, which moves under the support of sliding block 54, so that clamping seat 1 51 and clamping seat 2 52 clamp the staple cartridge, completing the fixation of the staple cartridge. Then, the assembly robot 7 is used to assemble the staples one by one into the staple cartridge. At the same time, the electric slide rail 3 drives the assembly table 2, and the assembly table 2 drives the assembly seat 4 to move, so that the assembly position of the staple cartridge on the assembly seat 4 corresponds to the assembly robot 7. When assembling the staples at another height, the drive motor 647 drives the lifting threaded rod 645 to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded block 646. The threaded block 646 drives the lifting inclined block 641, so that the inclined surface of the lifting inclined block 641 abuts against the lifting inclined surface 642 of the adjusting seat 61. Under the push of the lifting inclined block 641, as the lifting inclined block 641 moves on the lifting inclined surface 642, the sliding rod 643 fixed on the lifting inclined block 641 slides in the sliding groove, improving the stability of the contact between the lifting inclined block 641 and the lifting inclined surface 642. Under the push of the lifting inclined block 641, the adjusting seat 61 drives the assembly seat 4 to rise. The assembly seat 4 drives the staple cartridge to change its height to adapt to the new height of the staples, and then the assembly of staples continues.
