[0036] The technical solution of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] 1 to 4 , a stapler according to a specific embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 1 , a stapler assembly 2 , a staple magazine base 3 , a staple gate assembly 8 , a cutting knife assembly 4 , a symmetrically arranged first mounting seat 61 and a second mounting seat 62 , and a locking assembly 7 . Among them, the main body 1 has a first mounting portion 51 and a second mounting portion 52 arranged opposite to each other, and a movable groove is provided between the first mounting portion 51 and the second mounting portion 52; the nail anvil assembly 2 is fixedly mounted on the main body 1; the nail magazine base 3 is hingedly mounted on the main body 1, and a jaw is formed between the nail anvil assembly 2 and the nail magazine base 3, and the first mounting portion 51 and the second mounting portion 52 are located in the jaw; the nail gate assembly 8 includes a nail gate 81 and a slider 82 arranged in the jaw, and the slider 82 slides along the length direction of the nail magazine 81; the cutting knife assembly 4 is axially slidably installed in the main body 1 and is at least partially inserted in the movable groove; the first mounting seat 61 and the second mounting seat 62 are symmetrically arranged along the plane of the cutting knife assembly 4 and are fixedly mounted on the first mounting portion 51 and the second mounting portion 52 respectively; the locking assembly 7 includes a first locking mechanism and a second locking mechanism symmetrically arranged along the plane of the cutting knife assembly 4, the first locking mechanism is rotatably installed between the first mounting portion 51 and the first mounting seat 61, and the second locking mechanism is rotatably installed between the second mounting portion 52 and the second mounting seat 62. In the first state, both the first and second locking mechanisms abut against the cutting blade assembly 4, locking the cutting blade assembly 4 within the main body 1. The first and second locking mechanisms may abut against each other or have a gap therebetween. In the second state, both the first and second locking mechanisms are separated from the cutting blade assembly 4, allowing the cutting blade assembly 4 to slide axially toward the distal end of the main body 1.

[0038] When the stapler magazine assembly 8 is not loaded, the first and second locking mechanisms abut against the cutter assembly 4, preventing the cutter assembly 4 from advancing and firing. This achieves the safety purpose of preventing the stapler from firing when the stapler magazine assembly 8 is not loaded. This design prevents the stapler from being accidentally triggered when the stapler magazine assembly 8 is not loaded, avoiding accidents such as human tissue being cut and unable to be sutured by the stapler, preventing heavy bleeding in the patient, and improving the safety of the stapler.

[0039] 5 and 6 , the first locking mechanism includes a first locking member 71 and a first return elastic member 73. The first locking member 71 is rotatably mounted between the first mounting portion 51 and the first mounting seat 61. The first end of the first return elastic member 73 abuts against the first locking member 71, and the second end abuts against the first mounting portion 51. The second locking mechanism includes a second locking member 72 and a second return elastic member 74. The second locking member 72 is rotatably mounted between the second mounting portion 52 and the second mounting seat 62. The first end of the second return elastic member 74 abuts against the second locking member 72, and the second end abuts against the second mounting portion 52. The first return elastic member 73 and the second return elastic member 74 are any structure that can provide elastic force, such as a spring, a compression spring, a leaf spring, an airbag, etc., which can be understood and accepted by those skilled in the art.

[0040] Specifically, as shown in Figure 7, the first locking member 71 in this embodiment includes a first force-bearing portion 711 disposed in a plane direction away from the cutting blade assembly 4, a first stop portion 712 abutting against the cutting blade assembly 4, and a first connecting portion 713 connecting the first force-bearing portion 711 and the first stop portion 712. The first connecting portion 713 is rotatably mounted between the first mounting portion 51 and the first mounting seat 61. The second locking member 72 includes a second force-bearing portion 721 disposed in a plane direction away from the cutting blade assembly 4, a second stop portion 722 abutting against the cutting blade assembly 4, and a second connecting portion 723 connecting the second force-bearing portion 721 and the second stop portion 722. The second connecting portion 723 is rotatably mounted between the second mounting portion 52 and the second mounting seat 62.

[0041] 1 , the slider 82 is provided with a first boss 821 corresponding to the first force-bearing portion 711 , and the slider 82 is provided with a second boss 822 corresponding to the second force-bearing portion 721 . The first boss 821 and the second boss 822 can respectively push the first force-bearing portion 711 and the second force-bearing portion 721 to rotate, thereby driving the first locking member 71 and the second locking member 72 to rotate.

[0042] In the first state, the elastic force of the first return elastic member 73 acts on the first force-bearing portion 711, causing the first stop portion 712 to remain in contact with the cutting blade assembly 4. The elastic force of the second return elastic member 74 acts on the second force-bearing portion 721, causing the second stop portion 722 to remain in contact with the cutting blade assembly 4. In the second state, the first and second bosses 821 and 822 of the slider 82 respectively abut the first and second force-bearing portions 711 and 721. When the magazine base 3 is rotated toward the anvil assembly 2, the first and second bosses 821 and 822 of the slider 82 exert external forces on the first and second force-bearing portions 711 and 721, respectively, driving the first and second locking members 71 and 72 to rotate parallel to the axis of the main body 1. This allows the first and second stop portions 712 and 722 to separate from the cutting blade assembly 4, removing the obstruction to the cutting blade assembly 4 and allowing the cutting blade assembly 4 to fire smoothly, completing cutting and suturing. Based on this design, the safe operation of the anastomosis device is improved, avoiding the situation where the patient is mistakenly cut and cannot be sutured in time.

[0043] Further, referring to Figures 5 to 7, in order to facilitate the elastic force of the first return elastic member 73 to be applied to the first force-bearing portion 711 and the elastic force of the second return elastic member 74 to be applied to the second force-bearing portion 721, the first mounting portion 51 in this embodiment is provided with a first abutting portion 511 extending toward the distal end, the first abutting portion 511 is located above the first force-bearing portion 711, and the first return elastic member 73 is located between the first abutting portion 511 and the first force-bearing portion 711; the second mounting portion 52 is provided with a second abutting portion 521 extending toward the distal end, the second abutting portion 521 is located above the second force-bearing portion 721, and the second return elastic member 74 is located between the second abutting portion 521 and the second force-bearing portion 721.

[0044] Preferably, as shown in FIG7 , in order to prevent the first return elastic member 73 from being disengaged from between the first abutting portion 511 and the first force-bearing portion 711 and to prevent the second return elastic member 74 from being disengaged from between the second abutting portion 521 and the second force-bearing portion 721, in this embodiment, a first abutting post 7111 is provided on the first force-bearing portion 711, and the first end of the first return elastic member 73 is located between the first abutting post 7111 and the first rotating portion; a second abutting post 7211 is provided on the second force-bearing portion 721, and the first end of the second return elastic member 74 is located between the second abutting post 7211 and the second rotating portion. Preferably, the first end of the first return elastic member 73 is sleeved on the first abutting post 7111, and the first end of the second return elastic member 74 is sleeved on the second abutting post 7211. Preferably, the first force-bearing portion 711 is provided with a first fixing groove, in which the second end of the first reset elastic member 73 is installed, and the second force-bearing portion 721 is provided with a second fixing groove, in which the second end of the second reset elastic member 74 is installed.

[0045] As shown in Figure 7, in this embodiment, the first connecting portion 713 is provided with a first column 7131, the first mounting seat 61 is provided with a first assembly hole 6121 that cooperates with the first column 7131, the first connecting portion 713 is provided with a second column 7132, the first mounting portion 51 is provided with a second assembly hole 512 that cooperates with the second column 7132, the first assembly hole 6121 on the first mounting seat 61 and the second assembly hole 512 on the first mounting portion 51 are coaxially arranged and parallel to the axial direction of the main body 1; the second connecting portion 723 is provided with a first column 7231, the second mounting seat 62 is provided with a first assembly hole 6221 that cooperates with the first column 7231, the second connecting portion 723 is provided with a second column 7232, and the second mounting portion 52 is provided with a second assembly hole 522 that cooperates with the second column 7232, the first assembly hole 6221 on the second mounting seat 62 and the second assembly hole 522 on the second mounting portion 52 are coaxially arranged and parallel to the axial direction of the main body 1.

[0046] According to this design, the first locking member 71 can be installed between the first mounting portion 51 and the first mounting seat 61 by rotating in a direction parallel to the axis of the main body 1, and the second locking member 72 can be installed between the second mounting portion 52 and the second mounting seat 62 by rotating in a direction parallel to the axis of the main body 1. There is no need to additionally set up a fixing pin shaft, and the integrated design makes the structure of the locking assembly 7 more stable and reliable.

[0047] Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. The first connecting portion 713 may be provided with a first assembly hole 6121, and the first mounting seat 61 may be provided with a first column 7131 that cooperates with the first assembly hole 6121; or, the first connecting portion 713 may be provided with a second assembly hole 512, and the first mounting portion 51 may be provided with a second column 7132 that cooperates with the second assembly hole 512; or, the second connecting portion 723 may be provided with a first assembly hole 6221, and the second mounting seat 62 may be provided with a first column 7231 that cooperates with the first assembly hole 6221; or, the second connecting portion 723 may be provided with a second assembly hole 522, and the second mounting portion 52 may be provided with a second column 7232 that cooperates with the second assembly hole 522. All of these may achieve the technical effects of the present invention and are within the scope of protection. These are understandable and acceptable to those skilled in the art.

[0048] Preferably, with reference to Figures 1 and 7, in this embodiment, the sidewall of the second column 7132 on the first connecting portion 713 extends outwardly and is provided with a first limiting portion, the sidewall of the second column 7232 on the second connecting portion 723 extends outwardly and is provided with a second limiting portion 7233, the hole wall of the second assembly hole 512 on the first mounting portion 51 is provided with a first stop groove 513 that cooperates with the first limiting portion, and the hole wall of the second assembly hole 522 on the second mounting portion 52 is provided with a second stop groove 523 that cooperates with the second limiting portion 7233. In the first state, the first limiting portion abuts against the first sidewall of the first stop groove 513 away from the cutting blade assembly 4, and the second limiting portion 7233 abuts against the first sidewall of the second stop groove 523 away from the cutting blade assembly 4. In the second state, the first limiting portion abuts against the second side wall of the first stopping groove 513 near the cutting blade assembly 4, and the second limiting portion 7233 abuts against the second side wall of the second stopping groove 523 near the cutting blade assembly 4. This design can control the angle of rotation of the first locking member 71 and the second locking member 72 around the axis, preventing the first locking member 71 and the second locking member 72 from being too far away from the cutting blade assembly 4 or from excessively abutting against each other, which would result in excessive abutting force between the two.

[0049] Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. When a limiting portion is provided on the first column 7131 of the first connecting portion 713 and the first column 7231 of the second connecting portion 723, a stop groove matching the limiting portion is provided on the hole wall of the first assembly hole 6121 of the first mounting seat 61 and the first assembly hole 6221 of the second mounting seat 62, both of which can achieve the technical effects of the present invention and are within the scope of protection. These are understandable and acceptable to those skilled in the art.

[0050] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , in a preferred embodiment, the slider 82 is initially positioned proximal to the stapler gate 81. In the first state, the stapler jaws are open, an angle is formed between the magazine base 3 and the anvil assembly 2, and the slider 82 is disengaged from both locking mechanisms. In the second state, the stapler jaws are closed, the slider 82 is positioned proximal to the stapler magazine 81, the magazine base 3 is parallel to the anvil assembly 2, and the first and second bosses 821, 822 of the slider 82 abut against the first and second force-bearing portions 711, 721, respectively.

[0051] As will be appreciated, when the stapler of this embodiment is loaded with the magazine assembly 8, which comprises a magazine 81, a slider 82, and a magazine bracket 83, if the magazine assembly 8 is used, the slider 82 on the magazine 81 is located at the end away from the cutter assembly 4, thereby disengaging the slider 82 from the locking assembly 7. In the first state, the slider 82 cannot exert external force on the first and second locking members 71, 72. The first and second locking members 71, 72 remain in contact with the cutter assembly 4, preventing the cutter assembly 4 from advancing and firing. This achieves the safety purpose of preventing the stapler from firing when a used magazine assembly 8 is loaded. In the second state, since the magazine assembly 8 is unused, the slider 82 on the magazine 81 is located at the end closer to the cutter assembly 4, thereby contacting both the first and second locking members 71, 72. In the second state, the slider 82 can apply external force to the first locking member 71 and the second locking member 72, and the first locking member 71 and the second locking member 72 are separated from the cutting knife assembly 4, thereby removing the obstruction to the cutting knife assembly 4, so that the cutting knife assembly 4 can be fired smoothly to complete cutting and suturing.

[0052] According to this design, during the movement of the cutter, the magazine base 3 drives the magazine 81 and the slider 82 to rotate until the magazine base 3 is parallel to the anvil assembly 2. During the rotation of the slider 82 at the proximal end of the magazine base 3, the two bosses push the force-bearing portion of the locking mechanism to rotate together. At this time, the stop portion of the locking mechanism slowly moves away from the plane of the cutter assembly 4, and the cutter can smoothly pass the stop portion and move toward the distal end of the stapler. After the magazine 81 is used, the slider 82 is pushed to the distal end of the magazine base 3 by the cutter and will not return to its original position with the cutter. At this time, if the instrument is operated again, because the slider 82 is at the distal end of the magazine base 3, it cannot push the locking mechanism. The cutter can only move to the stop portion of the locking mechanism and cannot move further forward. This prevents the used magazine 81 from being reused, avoids the serious medical accident of incising tissue without suturing the incision with titanium staples if the used magazine 81 is used again, and improves the safety of the stapler.

[0053] As shown in Figure 7, in order to facilitate the fixed installation of the first mounting seat 61 on the first mounting portion 51 and the fixed installation of the second mounting seat 62 on the second mounting portion 52, the first mounting seat 61 in this embodiment includes a first support plate 611 and a first bent plate 612 bent on the first support plate 611, the first mounting portion 51 is provided with a first mounting column 514, and the first support plate 611 is provided with a first mounting hole 6111; the second mounting seat 62 includes a second support plate 621 and a second bent plate 622 bent on the second support plate 621, the second mounting portion 52 is provided with a second mounting column 524, and the second support plate 621 is provided with a second mounting hole 6211.

[0054] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first mounting portion 51 defines a first mounting slot 515, and the first support plate 611 extends toward the first mounting portion 51 and is provided with a first positioning protrusion 6112 corresponding to the first mounting slot 515. The second mounting portion 52 defines a second mounting slot 525, and the second support plate 621 extends toward the second mounting portion 52 and is provided with a second positioning protrusion 6212 corresponding to the second mounting slot 525. This design simplifies the installation process and increases installation speed through alignment.

[0055] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0056] The present invention provides a stapler, which can prevent a cutting knife assembly from advancing by a locking mechanism in a locking assembly when a used stapler magazine assembly is assembled in the stapler, making it impossible to perform a firing operation. This can prevent the stapler from being triggered by mistake, avoid accidents in which human tissue is cut and cannot be sutured by the stapler, avoid causing heavy bleeding in the patient, and improve the safety of the stapler.

[0057] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention.
