Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of intraoperative video recording auxiliary equipment, specifically a remote control adjuster for an open surgery video recorder. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of gynecologic oncology, especially in the surgical treatment of ovarian and cervical cancer, open surgery still plays a crucial role. Video recording of open surgeries is of great significance to medical development. High-quality surgical recordings not only provide clear images for live surgical broadcasts, allowing more medical personnel to watch and learn in real time, thus promoting the dissemination of medical knowledge, but also play a key role in remote consultations, providing accurate surgical information to experts in different locations, assisting in diagnosis and treatment planning. Furthermore, complete surgical recordings are valuable medical data, facilitating subsequent learning and surgical debriefing, helping doctors summarize experience and improve surgical skills. However, the recording of open surgeries has always faced many challenges. Traditional open surgery recording methods have numerous problems: for example, although existing open surgery video recorders are in use, their top-down recording method makes it difficult to effectively track the surgical field during actual recording. Additionally, the surgeon's head often obstructs part of the surgical area, affecting the integrity of the recording. Moreover, the presence of traditional shadowless lamps can cause glare and shadows, interfering with the clarity of the recorded image. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a remote control adjuster for an open surgery video recorder, which solves the problem that the position of traditional video recorders is difficult to adjust and affects the intraoperative field of vision.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a remote control adjuster for an open surgery video recorder, including a base for installation on the ceiling of an external operating room, a turntable rotatably mounted on the base, a robotic arm eccentrically mounted on the turntable, a driving component for driving the turntable to rotate on the base, an adjusting component for adjusting the relative tilt angle between the robotic arm and the turntable on the turntable, and a fixing component for clamping and fixing the external video recorder and a loading component for driving the fixing component to extend and retract along the length of the robotic arm on the robotic arm.

[0005] The advantages of using the above technical solution are as follows: Before surgery, the base is installed in a suitable position on the operating room ceiling, ensuring a secure installation that does not interfere with the surgery. Then, the video recorder is mounted on the robotic arm using a fixing device. The drive mechanism is activated via remote control to rotate the turntable and adjust it to the approximate shooting position. Next, the adjustment mechanism is activated to change the tilt angle between the robotic arm and the turntable, initially determining the video recorder's height. Finally, the loading mechanism is activated to adjust the position of the fixing device, aligning the video recorder with the surgical area for a test shot to check the image quality. During the surgery, the surgeon or assistant can use the remote control from below the operating table to flexibly operate the drive mechanism, adjustment mechanism, and loading mechanism to adjust the position and direction of the video recorder in real time, ensuring that critical surgical sites are always captured. After the surgery, the video recorder and remote control are turned off. The video recorder is removed from the mounting bracket and stored properly. The remote control adjuster is cleaned to prepare for the next surgical recording. In the above technology, the drive component drives the turntable to rotate, achieving 360-degree omnidirectional rotation. This allows the video recorder to cover the surgical area from different angles and easily track the surgical field of view. The adjustment component can adjust the relative tilt angle between the robotic arm and the turntable. In conjunction with the loading component, the fixed component is driven to extend and retract along the length of the robotic arm. This allows for precise adjustment of the video recorder's position in various complex surgical scenarios, ensuring the best surgical footage is captured and avoiding blind spots caused by fixed positions. The eccentric setting of the robotic arm in the above technology can effectively avoid the surgeon's head and the operating light, without interfering with the field of view during the surgery. This ensures that the surgery can proceed normally while obtaining clear and unobstructed surgical recordings.

[0006] The present invention further comprises: an eccentrically arranged swing groove on the turntable, a rotating shaft rotatably arranged in the swing groove, the robotic arm being coaxially aligned with an upper arm and a lower arm, a rotating hole being opened at the beginning of the upper arm for the rotating shaft to pass through and connect, the adjusting component including a drive motor arranged in the turntable, the output end of the drive motor being connected to the rotating shaft, and the fixing component being arranged on the end of the lower arm.

[0007] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: In this technology, a remote control issues a command to activate the drive mechanism, causing the turntable to rotate and adjusting the video recorder to the approximate location of the surgical area. Then, the remote control activates the drive motor, which drives the rotating shaft to rotate in the swing groove, thereby changing the tilt angle of the robotic arm composed of the upper and lower arms, initially determining the height and angle of the video recorder. Finally, based on the actual situation, the loading mechanism is fine-tuned to ensure the video recorder is precisely aligned with the surgical area, and a test shot is taken to check if the captured image meets the requirements. If there are any deviations, further adjustments are made. During the surgery, the surgeon or assistant can flexibly operate the drive mechanism, drive motor, and loading mechanism from below the operating table using the remote control, depending on the progress of the surgery. When the surgical site changes, the drive mechanism rotates the turntable to change its position, the drive motor adjusts the robotic arm angle, and the loading mechanism fine-tunes the video recorder's position to ensure the recorder always captures the critical surgical site and obtains clear and complete surgical footage. In this technology, the eccentrically positioned swing groove on the turntable cooperates with the rotating shaft, and the robotic arm is coaxially aligned with its upper and lower arms. The upper arm's starting end connects to the shaft via a rotating hole. When the drive motor rotates the shaft, the robotic arm can change its angle more precisely and flexibly. Compared to traditional adjustment methods, this structure allows for more subtle angle changes. In complex surgical scenarios, it enables the recorder to quickly and accurately capture the critical surgical site, greatly improving the quality and effectiveness of the captured footage and avoiding shooting deviations caused by inaccurate angle adjustments. The coaxial alignment of the upper and lower arms in this technology provides a stable and reliable support structure for the recorder. During surgery, even with slight vibrations or airflow, this structure ensures the stability of the video recorder, guaranteeing that the captured footage will not shake or jitter, thus providing stable and clear video material for live surgical video broadcasts, remote consultations, and medical data preservation. The drive motor mentioned above is existing technology, so its structure and function will not be described in detail.

[0008] The present invention further comprises: a loading hole is provided at the end of the upper arm along its length direction; a loading shaft is coaxially connected to the beginning of the lower arm for moving in the loading hole along the axis of the loading hole; the loading component includes an electric push rod disposed in the loading hole; and the output end of the electric push rod is coaxially connected to the loading shaft.

[0009] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: The electric push rod, acting as a loading component, can precisely control the telescopic movement of the loading shaft within the loading hole, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the lower arm position. This precise telescopic adjustment function allows for real-time and subtle changes in the video recorder's shooting distance during surgery, based on the specific depth and location of the surgical site. This ensures the captured image remains clear and focused, capturing no surgical details and providing strong support for high-quality recording of surgical videos. The coaxial arrangement of the loading shaft and loading hole, as well as the coaxial connection between the electric push rod and the loading shaft, guarantees the stability of the entire telescopic adjustment process. During adjustment, the lower arm can move smoothly along the axis of the loading hole without wobbling or shifting. This not only ensures the stability of the video recorder during position adjustment but also provides a solid structural foundation for capturing stable, shake-free surgical videos. Furthermore, the stable structure helps extend the equipment's lifespan and reduces damage caused by component shaking or friction. The electric push rod in the above technology is existing technology; therefore, its structure and function will not be elaborated further.

[0010] The present invention further includes a clamp on the lower arm end, the clamp having a receiving hole for accommodating an external video recorder.

[0011] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: The clamp design tightly surrounds the video recorder, using its own clamping force to firmly fix the video recorder to the end of the lower arm. During the operation, no matter how the robotic arm adjusts its position and angle, the clamp ensures that the video recorder remains stably in the set position, without loosening or slipping, thus guaranteeing the stability and continuity of the captured footage and providing a solid guarantee for high-quality recording of surgical videos. The receiving hole formed by the clamp can be flexibly adjusted according to different models and sizes of video recorders. Whether it is a small portable video recorder or a more complex and larger professional recording device, as long as its shape is within the applicable range of the clamp, it can be firmly fixed by the clamp. This allows the remote controller to be adapted to various types of video recorders, greatly improving the versatility and practicality of the equipment and meeting the diverse needs of different medical institutions and surgical scenarios for recording equipment. The part of the clamp that contacts the video recorder can be made of a soft material with certain cushioning properties, such as rubber. This method effectively prevents damage to the video recorder caused by excessively tight clamps or vibrations generated during robotic arm movement, while simultaneously securing the recorder, thus extending its lifespan and reducing equipment maintenance and replacement costs. The clamps described above are existing technology, therefore their structure and function will not be elaborated upon further.

[0012] The present invention further includes: a rotating groove is provided on the bottom wall of the base, the rotating groove is adapted to the shape of the turntable, and the driving component includes a servo motor disposed in the base, the output end of the servo motor being coaxially connected to the turntable.

[0013] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: By setting a drive component to rotate the turntable, 360-degree omnidirectional rotation can be achieved, allowing the video recorder to cover surgical areas from different directions and easily track the surgical field of view. The adjustment component can adjust the relative tilt angle between the robotic arm and the turntable, and in conjunction with the loading component driving the fixing component to extend and retract along the length of the robotic arm, the position of the video recorder can be precisely adjusted in various complex surgical scenarios to ensure the best surgical footage is captured and avoid blind spots caused by fixed positions. The rotating groove on the bottom wall of the base is adapted to the shape of the turntable, providing stable support and a rotation track for the turntable. The turntable rotates more smoothly during rotation, less prone to wobbling or deviation, further improving the stability of the video recorder's position adjustment. Simultaneously, the servo motor, as the drive component, has high control precision and can accurately respond to commands issued by the remote control, achieving precise rotation of the turntable and meeting the needs for rapid and precise adjustment of the video recorder's position during surgery. The drive motor in the above technology is existing technology, therefore its structure and function will not be described in detail.

[0014] The present invention further includes: a fall-prevention groove is provided circumferentially on the inner peripheral wall of the rotating groove, and a fall-prevention ring is provided circumferentially on the outer peripheral wall of the turntable for fitting into the fall-prevention groove.

[0015] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are: the cooperation between the anti-fall groove and the anti-fall ring in the technology structurally prevents the turntable from accidentally detaching from the base during rotation. The operating room environment is unique; if a component of the video recorder adjustment device falls, it could not only damage the equipment but also seriously interfere with the surgery and even endanger patient safety. This design effectively eliminates such potential hazards, providing a reliable safety guarantee for the smooth conduct of the surgery and the normal operation of the equipment.
