[0001] The present application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a medical robotic arm and an installation method thereof, and a medical robot. Background Art

[0002] A surgical robot is a specialized robot designed for surgical operations. Its robotic arm primarily controls the movement of medical devices, allowing them to perform medical procedures on the human body. The robotic arm incorporates both mechanical and electrical signal transmission. Installation typically begins with the mechanical components, followed by the electrical components. The conventional assembly method for a surgical robot's robotic arm is threaded butt-joint mounting. Because the robotic arm is heavy, multiple personnel are required to coordinate and securely position and assemble the arm. Maintenance holes are designed near the arm's separation surfaces to facilitate the separate installation of electrical wiring harnesses. After assembly, it's common for the electrical components to be damaged during disassembly or for the disassembly personnel to perform multiple tasks simultaneously, leading to poor coordination and poor electrical contact. These issues not only make the robotic arm installation time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also result in suboptimal assembly results.

[0062] Referring to Figures 1 and 2 , the present application provides a medical robot comprising a medical trolley 100, a medical robotic arm, a medical device 200, a control platform 300, an imaging platform 400, an instrument platform 500, and auxiliary equipment 600. The medical robotic arm is mounted on the medical trolley 100. Referring to Figure 3 , the medical device 200 is mounted on the medical robotic arm. Continuing with Figure 4 , the medical robotic arm comprises a first robotic arm 1000 and a second robotic arm 2000.

[0063] Referring to Figures 5 to 9 at the same time, a first installation area 1000a is provided on the first robotic arm 1000. The first installation area 1000a can be located at the end position of the first robotic arm 1000 or other suitable positions. The first installation area 1000a is provided with at least a first hanging element 1100, a first clamping element 1200 and a first electrically controlled connection element 1300. The first installation area 1000a is an area delineated on the first robotic arm 1000. The function of the first installation area 1000a is to limit the positions of the first hanging element 1100, the first clamping element 1200 and the first electrically controlled connection element 1300 on the first robotic arm 1000.

[0064] Referring to Figures 10 to 14 at the same time, a second installation area 2000a is provided on the second robotic arm 2000. The second installation area 2000a can be located at the end position of the second robotic arm 2000 or other suitable positions. The second installation area 2000a is provided with at least a second hanging element 2100, a second clamping element 2200 and a second electrically controlled connecting element 2300. The second installation area 2000a is an area delineated on the second robotic arm 2000. The function of the second installation area 2000a is to limit the positions of the second hanging element 2100, the second clamping element 2200 and the second electrically controlled connecting element 2300 on the first robotic arm 1000.

[0065] The side surface of the end of the first robotic arm 1000 is provided with a mating recess 1000b, and the first mounting area 1000a is located in the mating recess 1000b. The second robotic arm 2000 includes a main arm section 2400 and an auxiliary arm section 2500. The auxiliary arm section 2500 is arranged at an angle relative to the main arm section 2400. For example, the auxiliary arm section 2500 can be arranged perpendicular to the main arm section 2400. The side surface of the auxiliary arm section 2500 is provided with a mating base 2000b, and the second mounting area 2000a is located in the mating base 2000b. After the first robotic arm 1000 and the second robotic arm 2000 are assembled, the mating recess 1000b and the mating base 2000b can form a mutually mating assembly state. The mutual mating between the two can also improve the uniform force between the two and enhance the assembly stability between the first robotic arm 1000 and the second robotic arm 2000.

[0066] The first hanging element 1100 is located at the edge of the first mounting area 1000a, and the second hanging element 2100 is located at the edge of the second mounting area 2000a. Therefore, referring to Figures 15 and 16, the first hanging element 1100 can be used for relative hanging with the second hanging element. Furthermore, in the structures shown in Figures 15 and 16, the first hanging element 1100 can actually be located at the top of the edge of the first mounting area 1000a. The top of the edge of the first mounting area 1000a can refer to the top of the first robotic arm 1000 when installed. The second hanging element 2100 can actually be located at the top of the edge of the second mounting area 2000a. The top of the edge of the second mounting area 2000a can refer to the top of the second robotic arm 2000 when installed. Therefore, in the process of hanging the first robotic arm 1000 and the second robotic arm 2000 to each other, the first hanging element 1100 and the second hanging element 2100 can first be hung to each other through the top of the first installation area 1000a in the first robotic arm 1000 and the top of the second installation area 2000a in the second robotic arm 2000, and all gravity is first applied to the first hanging element 1100 and the second hanging element 2100.

[0067] For example, when the second robotic arm 2000 is hung relative to the first robotic arm 1000, the second hanging element 2100 can be hung relative to the first hanging element 1100. At this time, one person can operate it. After the second hanging element 2100 is hung on the first hanging element 1100, the weight of the second robotic arm 2000 can be transferred to the first hanging element by using the first hanging element 1100 to bear the force. It can be completed by one person. Next, as shown in Figures 17 and 18, with the position where the first hanging element 1100 and the second hanging element 2100 are hung together as the rotation reference, the operator can continue to single-handedly control the rotation of the second robotic arm 2000 relative to the first robotic arm 1000, and make the first installation area 1000a of the first robotic arm 1000 and the second installation area 2000a of the second robotic arm 2000 match each other through rotation. During the rotation process, the second clamping element 2200 and the first clamping element 1200 are gradually clamped to each other to complete the installation of the mechanical parts between the first robotic arm 1000 and the second robotic arm 2000.

[0068] 15 to 18 , since a first electrically-controlled connection element 1300 is provided in the first installation area 1000a of the first robotic arm 1000, and a second electrically-controlled connection element 2300 is also provided in the second installation area 2000a of the second robotic arm 2000, when the mechanical parts of the first robotic arm 1000 and the second robotic arm 2000 are matched and assembled, the first installation area 1000a and the second installation area 2000a can be matched and assembled with each other, and the second electrically-controlled connection element 2300 and the first electrically-controlled connection element 1300 can also be conductively connected at the same time.

[0069] As can be seen, since the first hanging element 1100, the first clamping element 1200, and the first electrically controlled connecting element 1300 on the first robotic arm 1000 are all confined within the first installation area 1000a, the second hanging element 2100, the second clamping element 2200, and the second electrically controlled connecting element 2300 on the second robotic arm 2000 are all confined within the second installation area 2000a. By virtue of the second hanging element 2100's hooking function relative to the first hanging element 1100, the weight of the second robotic arm 2000 can be transferred to the first hanging element 1100. This eliminates the need for an operator to bear the heavy weight of the robotic arms, allowing a single person to perform the assembly operation between the first robotic arm 1000 and the second robotic arm 2000. Furthermore, the first clamping element 1200 and the second clamping element 2200 can be used to complete the locking operation between the first robotic arm 1000 and the second robotic arm 2000. During this process, the second electrically controlled connecting element 2300 can also be conductively connected to the first electrically controlled connecting element 1300 at the same time, thereby completing the assembly of the electrical part.

[0070] The entire operation can be completed by one person, and only requires one hanging operation and one rotation and clamping operation. It is not only simple to operate, saving time and labor, but also can improve the efficiency of installation.

[0071] 5 and 6 , in one embodiment, the first electrically controlled connecting element 1300 is located between the first hanging element 1100 and the first clamping element 1200. Referring to FIG10 and 11 , the second electrically controlled connecting element 2300 is located between the second hanging element 2100 and the second clamping element 2200. Therefore, after the first robotic arm 1000 and the second robotic arm 2000 are connected to each other via the first hanging element 1100 and the second hanging element 2100, they can be clamped to each other via the first clamping element 1200 and the second clamping element 2200 on the other side, so that the first electrically controlled connecting element 1300 and the second electrically controlled connecting element 2300 are located in the center, forming a circuit connection of the electrical part.

[0072] The first hook element 1100 includes a first rotating portion 1110, and the second hook element 2100 includes a second rotating portion 2110. The first rotating portion 1110 can be rotatably coupled to the second rotating portion 2110. The first rotating portion 1110 can utilize a rotating shaft, while the second rotating portion 2110 utilizes a rotating shaft groove, with the rotating shaft rotatably coupled to the rotating shaft groove. Alternatively, the first rotating portion 1110 can utilize a rotating shaft groove, while the second rotating portion 2110 utilizes a rotating shaft. Furthermore, the first hook element 1100 may further include a hooking recess 1120, located at the edge of the first mounting area 1000a, to facilitate hooking and rotating operations. The rotating shaft is disposed within the hooking recess 1120. The second hook element 2100 may further include a corresponding hooking boss 2120, located at the edge of the second mounting area 2000a, to facilitate hooking and rotating operations. The rotating shaft groove is formed on the hooking boss 2120.

[0073] The hanging recess 1120 can be used to hang with the hanging boss 2120, and after the first rotating part 1110 and the second rotating part 2110 are rotated and hung with each other, the hanging recess 1120 and the hanging boss 2120 can not only assist in bearing the weight of the robotic arm by hanging with each other, but also form a mutually interlocked assembly state after assembly is completed. After assembly is completed, it can also provide a gravity-bearing function to ensure the assembly stability between the first robotic arm 1000 and the second robotic arm 2000, and reduce the gravity-bearing pressure between the first adapter part and the second adapter part.

[0074] The first clamping element 1200 includes a first clamping portion 1210, and the second clamping element 2200 includes a second clamping portion 2210. The first clamping portion 1210 is used to engage with the second clamping portion 2210. The first clamping portion 1210 can adopt a clamping groove, and the second clamping portion 2210 can adopt a clamping column. The clamping column can be used to engage with the clamping groove. Alternatively, the first clamping portion 1210 can adopt a clamping column, and the second clamping portion 2210 can adopt a clamping groove. The first clamping element 1200 also includes an elastic clamp 1220, which is disposed in the clamping groove. The second clamping element 2200 also includes a docking slot 2220, which is disposed on the clamping column. The elastic clamp 1220 is elastically engaged with the docking slot 2220. Therefore, after the engaging post and the engaging slot are engaged with each other, the elastic engaging head 1220 and the docking engaging slot 2220 can continue to be elastically engaged and locked, thereby improving the engaging and locking effect and enhancing the assembly stability.

[0075] The first mounting area 1000a is provided with at least one first connection hole 1000a2, for example, multiple first connection holes 1000a2 are distributed around the first mounting area 1000a. The second mounting area 2000a is provided with at least one second connection hole 2000a2, for example, multiple second connection holes 2000a2 are distributed around the second mounting area 2000a. The first connection hole 1000a2 and the second connection hole 2000a2 are used to pass a connecting component, which can be a threaded rod or the like. This allows the first mounting area 1000a of the first robotic arm 1000 and the second mounting area 2000a of the second robotic arm 2000 to be detachably connected via the connecting component, further achieving a locking connection between the first robotic arm 1000 and the second robotic arm 2000 after hooking and snapping.

[0081] The present application provides an installation method based on a medical robotic arm, which includes the following steps: hanging the second hanging element 2100 and the first hanging element 1100 to each other, using the position where the first hanging element 1100 and the second hanging element 2100 are hung to each other as a rotation reference, controlling the second robotic arm 2000 to rotate relative to the first robotic arm 1000, and clamping the second clamping element 2200 and the first clamping element 1200 to each other, so that the second electrically controlled connecting element 2300 is conductively connected to the first electrically controlled connecting element 1300, and fixing the first robotic arm 1000 and the second robotic arm 2000.

[0082] Therefore, referring to Figures 15 and 16, when the second robotic arm 2000 is hung relative to the first robotic arm 1000, the second hanging element 2100 can be hung relative to the first hanging element 1100. At this time, one person can operate it. After the second hanging element 2100 is hung on the first hanging element 1100, the weight of the second robotic arm 2000 can be transferred to the first hanging element by using the first hanging element 1100 to bear the force. It can be completed by one person. Next, as shown in Figures 17 and 18, with the position where the first hanging element 1100 and the second hanging element 2100 are hung together as the rotation reference, the operator can continue to single-handedly control the rotation of the second robotic arm 2000 relative to the first robotic arm 1000, and make the first installation area 1000a of the first robotic arm 1000 and the second installation area 2000a of the second robotic arm 2000 match each other through rotation. During the rotation process, the second clamping element 2200 and the first clamping element 1200 are gradually clamped to each other to complete the installation of the mechanical parts between the first robotic arm 1000 and the second robotic arm 2000.
