[0045] This utility model is an optimization of Chinese Patent Publication No. CN118252562B.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides an ultra-thin rod replaceable staple cartridge assembly, including an adapter sleeve assembly 1, an intermediate sleeve assembly 2 installed on the adapter sleeve assembly 1, an anvil assembly 3 and a staple cartridge assembly 5 movably installed on the intermediate sleeve assembly 2 via a pliers head seat assembly 4.

[0048] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1-7 The pushing component and the steering hook 8 pass through the connecting sleeve assembly 1 and the intermediate sleeve assembly 2. The pushing component can push the cutting component 204 forward and backward, and the steering hook 8 can drive the anvil assembly 3 to turn. The pushing component can drive the anvil assembly 3 to close towards the staple cartridge assembly 5 to press the staples together, while the cutting blade 523 performs tissue cutting.

[0049] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3-6 Compared to existing technologies, the staple cartridge assembly 5 of this device includes a staple cartridge base 51 hinged to the pliers head assembly 4 and a detachable staple cartridge assembly 52 snapped into the staple cartridge base 51. The detachable staple cartridge assembly 52 includes a staple cartridge 522 and a pusher plate and a slant pusher block 521 disposed inside the staple cartridge 522. A cutting blade 523 is disposed within the slant pusher block 521 and on the step 5225 of the staple cartridge 522.

[0050] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 7 Meanwhile, the cutting blade at one end of the cutting assembly 204 is replaced with a cutting head, that is, the inner and outer push plates of the cutting assembly 1021 are both installed on the cutting head, and the cutting head pushes the inclined push block 521 forward, which in turn pushes the cutting blade 523 forward.

[0051] The cutting blade 523, the pusher blade, and the staple cartridge 522, which are mainly in contact with human tissue, are all contained in the detachable staple cartridge assembly 52. ​​Therefore, after the device is used up, only the detachable staple cartridge assembly 52 needs to be replaced to continue using it, thus avoiding the single-use nature of the device and greatly reducing the cost of use.

[0052] For details, please refer to the following: Figure 3 and 4 To ensure that the detachable staple cartridge assembly 52 can be securely engaged with the staple cartridge base 51 during use, a locking platform 5223 is provided at one end of the outer wall of the staple cartridge 522, and a corresponding locking groove is provided on the inner wall of the staple cartridge base 51, thereby creating a locking connection between the staple cartridge 522 and the staple cartridge base 51; please refer to the following for details. Figure 8 and 9 Meanwhile, to prevent the other end of the staple cartridge 522 from tilting up during use, a second slot 5224 is provided on the other end of the outer wall of the staple cartridge 522, and a second slot 512 is provided on the inner wall of the staple cartridge base 51.

[0053] Since the detachable staple cartridge assembly 52 is stored separately, the limiting and protection of individual components within the assembly need to be considered. Please refer to the following carefully. Figure 3 Before the removable staple cartridge assembly 52 is installed onto the staple cartridge base 51, a protective cover 7 will be snapped onto the removable staple cartridge assembly 52. ​​Please refer to this carefully. Figure 10 The protective cover 7 has two symmetrical side ears 701, and each side ear 701 has a protrusion 702. The protrusion 702 engages with the limiting groove of the staple cartridge 522. The protective cover 7 is made of plastic. To remove the protective cover 7, both side ears 701 must be pulled open simultaneously with both hands; otherwise, it cannot be removed. Therefore, the protective cover 7 can effectively cover the surface of the detachable staple cartridge assembly 52, preventing internal components from being exposed or dust from entering. Please refer to the following for details. Figure 3 The protective cover 7 is equipped with a limiting cover 703, which can further limit the movement of the internal cutting blade 523.

[0054] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 4 and 10Since the staple cartridge base 51 has a sloping groove 511 corresponding to the protrusion 702, and the protrusion 702 is a sloping protrusion, when the detachable staple cartridge assembly 52 is installed on the staple cartridge base 51, the sloping groove 511 will gradually push the protrusion 702 outward, causing the protrusion 702 to leave the limiting groove, and then the protective cover 7 will automatically fall off the detachable staple cartridge assembly 52. ​​The design allows the protective cover 7 to play a protective role when needed and to automatically fall off when needed for operation, making operation convenient and easy.

[0055] In addition to the design of the protective cover 7, the internal components of the removable staple cartridge assembly 52 have also been optimized to prevent components from moving around inside the assembly. Please refer to the following for details. Figure 8 and Figure 12 The main purpose is to limit the angled push block 521. The two sides 5212 of the angled push block 521 are provided with slots 5211, and the nail cartridge 522 is provided with corresponding protrusions 5221, so that the angled push block 521 can be limited to the end of the nail cartridge 522 when not in operation.

[0056] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 and Figure 9 In order to further prevent the detachable staple cartridge assembly 52 from falling off the staple cartridge base 51, the end of the staple cartridge 522 is also provided with symmetrical protrusions 5225, and the staple cartridge base 51 is provided with corresponding grooves 513, thereby further limiting the detachable staple cartridge assembly 52.

[0057] Due to the aforementioned multiple limiting design, the detachable staple cartridge assembly 52 is difficult to manually detach from the staple cartridge base 51. Therefore, auxiliary tools are needed to apply force at specific points to detach it. Please refer to the following for details. Figure 11 and Figure 1 When the detachable staple cartridge assembly 52 is installed on the staple cartridge base 51, it forms a pry bar insertion slot 5226. At this time, the pry bar 9 can be inserted into the pry bar insertion slot 5226 to apply force at a fixed point and make the detachable staple cartridge assembly 52 fall off the staple cartridge base 51.

[0058] Before installing the detachable staple cartridge assembly 52 on the staple cartridge base 51, to prevent the cutting assembly 204 from moving back and forth due to accidental activation when not in operation, a cutting limit device 10 needs to be installed in front of the cutting assembly 204. Please refer to this carefully. Figure 7 The cutting limit device 10 is installed on the jaw holder 401 of the jaw assembly 4 and is located in front of the cutting assembly 204; please refer to this carefully. Figure 14The cutting limiting device 10 includes a movable block 1001 movably mounted on the pliers head seat 401 via a spring 1002, a positioning post 1003 mounted on the pliers head seat 401, and a limiting block 1005 movably sleeved on the positioning post 1003 via a torsion spring 1004. The movable block 1001 and the limiting block 1005 are in contact with each other, and the limiting block 1005 is L-shaped. In the initial state, the positioning post 1003 is stuck at the cutting head of the cutting assembly 204. When the detachable staple cartridge assembly 52 is installed on the staple cartridge base 51, the detachable staple cartridge assembly 52 pushes the movable block 1001 to move, thereby driving the positioning post 1003 to rotate, so that the side arm of the positioning post 1003 that is stuck in the cutting assembly 204 retracts. At this time, the cutting assembly 204 is in a free state and can move freely. When a new detachable staple cartridge assembly 52 is replaced, the positioning post 1003 returns to the initial state.

[0059] For further details, please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 13 The positioning component that provides cushioning in the existing technology is replaced with spring plate 203, thus simplifying the positioning component structure. Spring plate 203 is installed on both the steering hook 3 of the steering hook 8 and the auxiliary hook of the caliper head assembly 4. The other end of spring plate 203 is mounted on the lower sleeve 201 of the intermediate sleeve assembly 2. The upper sleeve 202 of the intermediate sleeve assembly 2 has a toothed surface 205, which meshes with the toothed surface 206 of spring plate 203. When the operator operates the steering hook 8 to turn, toothed surface 206 moves along the length of toothed surface 205, resulting in a "clicking" sound. Each "clicking" sound represents a 15-degree turn, making it easier for the operator to judge the direction. Therefore, the use of spring plate 203 provides both cushioning and facilitates precise operation by the operator.

[0060] For further details, please refer to the following: Figure 8 To prevent more meat scraps from getting stuck at the engagement point of the device, i.e., the end where the cutting blade 523 begins to cut, the length of the protrusion 5222 of the nail cartridge 522 is extended, thereby preventing meat scraps from getting stuck at the protrusion 5222.

[0061] For further details, please refer to the following: Figure 15 and Figure 16To prevent the cutting blade 523 from cutting other tissues after surgery, the inclined push block 521 is provided with a through hole 5213, and the step 5225 of the staple cartridge 522 is provided with a countersinking hole 5227. The staple seat assembly 3 is provided with a spring piece 6 corresponding to the countersinking hole 5227. When the cutting blade 523 moves to the countersinking hole 5227, due to the lack of support from the step 5225 and the elastic force of the spring piece 6, the cutting blade 523 will fall from the through hole 5213 into the countersinking hole 5227, so that the cutting blade 523 can be retracted into the staple cartridge 522 after surgery, avoiding damage to other tissues inside the body. Subsequently, the cutting blade 523 can also be replaced with the detachable staple cartridge assembly 52, making it convenient for surgeons to replace the new staple cartridge assembly.

[0062] The main feature of this device is the design of a detachable staple cartridge assembly 52, which greatly reduces the cost of use.
