Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to an interactive feedback system and an anastomosis device. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the advancement of intelligent surgical instruments, electric staplers have gradually appeared in clinical applications. However, most such products on the market still have significant shortcomings in human-computer interaction design: when abnormal situations such as a sudden increase in resistance or instrument jamming occur during surgical operations, the equipment lacks an intuitive and effective feedback mechanism, making it difficult for medical staff to accurately determine whether a problem has occurred in the cutting process in a timely manner. This lack of information transmission not only disrupts the smooth rhythm of the surgery but may also increase operational risks due to delayed judgment, causing unnecessary trouble for the delicate surgical procedure and, to some extent, limiting the realization of the technological advantages of electric staplers compared to traditional mechanical staplers. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application aims to propose an interactive feedback system and a stapler that can improve the human-computer interaction experience.

[0005] The anastomosis device according to a second aspect embodiment of this application includes an interactive feedback system as described in the first aspect embodiment.

[0006] The interactive feedback system and stapler of this application embodiment can detect the blade advance distance through the advance detection system, thereby monitoring the blade advance status. Finally, the blade advance distance and advance status are displayed in real time through the display unit, allowing the operator to keep abreast of the stapler's working status. The solution of this application embodiment effectively makes up for the problem of insufficient information feedback in current equipment, allowing the operator to obtain the core operating parameters of the stapler at any time during the operation, thereby significantly reducing the surgical risks caused by missing information, providing a solid guarantee for the safety and accuracy of the surgical operation, and further improving the reliability and ease of operation of the electric stapler in clinical applications, enabling a more efficient cooperation between the equipment and the operator, and helping the surgical process to be smoother and more precise.

[0013] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setup," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this application in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0014] The technical solution of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments.

[0015] See Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides an interactive feedback system, which includes: The display unit 110 is located on the top of the stapler body 210; The propulsion detection system 120 is used to detect the propulsion distance of the blade 220; The controller 130 is electrically connected to the display unit 110 and the propulsion detection system 120, respectively, and is used to receive the propulsion distance of the blade 220 detected by the propulsion detection system 120 and to display the propulsion distance on the display unit 110.

[0016] In this embodiment, the advance detection system 120 can detect the advance distance of the blade 220, thereby monitoring the advance status of the blade 220. Finally, the advance distance and advance status of the blade 220 are displayed in real time through the display unit 110, allowing the operator to keep track of the working status of the stapler in real time. The solution of this embodiment effectively makes up for the problem of insufficient information feedback in current equipment, allowing the operator to obtain the core operating parameters of the stapler at any time during the operation, thereby significantly reducing the surgical risks caused by missing information, providing a solid guarantee for the safety and accuracy of the surgical operation, and further improving the reliability and ease of operation of the electric stapler in clinical applications, enabling a more efficient cooperation between the equipment and the operator, and helping the surgical process to be smoother and more precise.

[0017] The aforementioned stapler includes a gun body 210, a staple cartridge 250, and a battery. The staple cartridge 250 is detachably connected to the gun body 210 to facilitate replacement and maintenance of the staple cartridge 250. The battery provides power for the operation of the stapler.

[0018] The staples in the staple cartridge 250 can be advanced by the blade 220 disposed in the gun body 210. The gun body 210 is provided with a drive mechanism 240 that pushes the propulsion assembly 230 forward. When the propulsion assembly 230 moves forward, it further drives the blade 220 forward, thereby enabling the stapler to start the matching operation.

[0019] The aforementioned drive mechanism 240 can be composed of a motor 241 and a gear 242. The propulsion component 230 can be a rack, which is used to connect the blade 220. The gear 242 meshes with the rack, and the motor 241 is used to drive the gear 242 to rotate, so as to drive the rack to move along the forward direction of the blade 220, thereby driving the blade 220 forward.

[0020] The aforementioned propulsion detection system 120 is installed inside the gun body 210 of the stapler. It detects the moving distance of the blade 220, the moving distance of the rack, and the number of rotations of the gear 242 to determine the forward push distance of the blade 220.

[0021] Specifically, the movement distance of the blade 220 and the rack can be detected directly using a displacement sensor, or other types of sensors can be used. For the number of rotations of the gear 242, the number of rotations of the drive motor 241 can be detected directly, or a stepper motor 241 or other drive motor that can directly control the number of rotations can be used.

[0022] The core controller 130 of the aforementioned controller 130 can be a DSP, ARM, microcontroller, etc. The specific type can be flexibly selected according to the actual data processing requirements. For example, an STM32 series processor can be selected.

[0023] In some implementations, reference Figure 4 The detection system 120 includes: The sensor 121 is disposed on the propulsion assembly 230 inside the stapler gun body 210. The propulsion assembly 230 is used to move along the forward direction of the blade 220 under the drive of the drive mechanism 240, so as to push the blade 220 forward. Multiple sensing sensors 122, all electrically connected to the controller 130, are sequentially arranged on the path of the moving sensing element 121. Each sensing sensor 122 is used to sense the position of the sensing element 121.

[0024] Each of the aforementioned sensors 122 can sense the sensing element 121 within a certain area. By arranging multiple sensors 122 along the path of the moving sensing element 121, and ensuring that the detection ranges of the multiple sensing elements 121 do not overlap, it is possible to sequentially sense whether the sensing element 121 has reached a specific position as it moves. Specifically, refer to... Figure 4When the blade 220 begins to move, the leftmost sensor 122 is the first to detect the sensor 121. Then, as the blade 220 continues to move, multiple sensors 122 from left to right will detect the sensor 121 in sequence. When the rightmost sensor 122 detects the sensor 121, it can be determined that the blade 220 has been pushed forward.

[0025] In some embodiments, the sensing sensor 122 is an optical coupler sensor, which forms a passage channel for the sensing element 121 to pass through. When the sensing element 121 passes through the corresponding optical coupler sensor, it blocks the optical communication of the optical coupler sensor.

[0026] The aforementioned optical coupler sensor can form a grating or an optical communication link. When the sensing element 121 moves to the area where the optical coupler sensor is located, it will block the grating or the optical communication link. By detecting whether the optical signal is blocked, the sensing element 121 can be detected.

[0027] In some embodiments, the sensing sensor 122 can be an infrared probe. When the sensing element 121 moves to the area directly opposite the infrared probe, it can effectively reflect infrared light to determine the sensing position.

[0028] In some implementations, the sensing sensor 122 is provided with 6 to 12 sensors.

[0029] In this embodiment, the number of sensing sensors 122 is determined to be 6 to 12, which can meet the operational accuracy requirements in most cases.

[0030] In some implementations, eight sensors 122 are provided. Setting the number of sensors 122 to eight can meet the operational accuracy requirements in common scenarios.

[0031] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 The aforementioned interactive feedback system also includes: The operation unit 140 is electrically connected to the controller 130.

[0032] In this embodiment, the operation unit 140 can be used to actively view some information, and can also be used to manually modify some operation parameters and thresholds. When multiple languages ​​are stored in the system, the operation unit 140 can be used to select the operation language.

[0033] In some embodiments, the operation unit 140 includes a button unit electrically connected to the controller 130.

[0034] In this embodiment, the operation unit 140 adopts a button unit. Compared with a touch device, the button unit can provide better feedback, allowing the operator to determine whether the button operation has been completed simply by feeling the button, thus improving the user experience.

[0035] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 The aforementioned interactive feedback system also includes: The staple cartridge identification unit 150 is electrically connected to the controller 130 and is used to identify the detection status of the staple cartridge 250.

[0036] In this embodiment, the nail tray identification unit 150 is used to identify the installation status of the nail tray 250, so that it can make an immediate alarm when the nail tray 250 is not installed, installed incorrectly, or when the used nail tray 250 is installed repeatedly, so that the operator can find the problem and improve the efficiency and smoothness of use.

[0037] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 The nail retrieval identification unit 150 includes: Identification card 151 is set on the nail cartridge 250 and located in the area covered by the main rod of the gun body 210; The identifier, which is electrically connected to the controller 130, is mounted on the main rod of the gun body 210 and is used to read the data carried by the identification card 151.

[0038] The aforementioned identification card 151 may employ at least one of the following identification tags: RFID, barcode, QR code, etc.

[0039] The aforementioned identification card 151 is set on the nail cartridge 250 and located in the area covered by the main rod of the gun body 210. In actual use, this area needs to be inserted into the main rod of the gun body 210 and then engaged with the main rod by rotation.

[0040] The aforementioned identifier can be installed on the main shaft of the gun body 210 and located in the area corresponding to the identification card 151 when the nail magazine 250 is installed.

[0041] The controller 130 can be connected to a storage unit, which can be used to store the read data from the pin pod 250 to determine whether the pin pod 250 will be reused. If the controller 130 has a large memory, the data from the pin pod 250 can also be stored within the controller 130.

[0042] In some implementations, reference Figure 6 The identification card 151 is integrated into the nail chamber 250.

[0043] In this embodiment, the identification card 151 is integrated into the nail chamber 250. This method can effectively avoid the situation where the identification card 151 is replaced by a person, thereby improving the safety of medical use.

[0044] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 The aforementioned interactive feedback system also includes: The power detection unit 160 is located inside the gun body 210 and electrically connected to the controller 130, and is used to detect the remaining power of the stapler.

[0045] In this embodiment, a power detection unit 160 is used to detect the battery voltage, so that a timely warning can be given when the battery power is low, thus avoiding the sudden power failure of the anastomosis device.

[0046] The aforementioned power detection unit 160 offers high flexibility in implementation, eliminating the need for a completely new circuit design. For cost-effectiveness and simplicity, existing power sampling circuits can be directly used. These circuits typically consist of basic components such as resistors, capacitors, and operational amplifiers, and can calculate power data by acquiring current and voltage signals. If higher detection accuracy and integration are prioritized, commercially available power detection chips (such as TI's BQ series) or battery management chips (such as MAXIM's MAX series) are ideal choices. They integrate high-precision AD converters and algorithm modules, directly outputting parameters such as power percentage and voltage, significantly simplifying system design.

[0047] This application also provides an anastomosis device that includes the interactive feedback system described above. Because the anastomosis device has an interactive feedback system, it possesses all the beneficial effects of an interactive feedback system.

[0048] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application. Those skilled in the art will clearly understand that, for the sake of convenience and brevity, the specific working processes of the systems, modules, and units described above can be referred to the corresponding processes in the foregoing method embodiments, and will not be repeated here. It should be understood that the protection scope of this application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this application.
