Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit connection devices, and more particularly to a connection connector for medical equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Surgical robots are medical devices that integrate multiple disciplines such as medicine, mechanics, biomechanics, and computer science. With the help of minimally invasive surgery and related underlying technologies, they can provide doctors with support in performing surgical operations through vision, hearing, and touch. They are used in the field of minimally invasive surgery, which is beyond human capabilities, to achieve baseline control of surgical instruments.

[0003] Some medical devices, including surgical robots, require a multi-hole connector for signal transmission. Existing connector technologies, to ensure a more perfect molding of the outer mold, require steel pins on the mold to fix the inner mold to the outer mold during the outer mold encapsulation process. This restricts the movement of the inner mold and prevents product misalignment during the outer mold encapsulation process, thus achieving the required product yield. Therefore, pin holes, also known as process holes, are formed on the surface of the connector. However, the presence of these pin holes fails to meet the waterproofing requirements of the connector after insertion.

[0004] On the other hand, medical devices require wiping and disinfecting their surfaces. The presence of circular needle holes on the product surface increases the risk of dirt and germs accumulating inside the needle holes, making thorough cleaning and disinfection impossible.

[0005] At the same time, the exposed pinholes on the product surface will also affect the overall appearance of the product. Utility Model Content

[0036] The inner mold pin holder 22 covers the porous pin slot 12 and exposes the pin slot hole 121.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, there are two inner mold positioning grooves 23, which are located on both sides of the multi-hole pin groove 12. During the outer mold 3 covering and forming process, steel pins on the mold are inserted into the inner mold positioning grooves 23 to fix the inner mold 2.

[0038] Preferably, the inner mold positioning groove 23 is closely attached to the multi-hole pin slot 12.
