Description

surgical devices

[0001] The present invention relates to a surgical device, and more particularly, to a surgical device with enhanced convenience of operation.

[0002] Surgical instruments used in endoscopic surgical devices include surgical forceps with various functions, such as forceps, tongs, and scissors, which are installed at the end of a thin, long pipe, for example.

[0003] The surgical instruments used in these endoscopic surgical devices are used in a wide range of procedures and processes. In particular, many surgical instruments with joints at the distal end are being developed to enable a wider range of motion. For example, most of these joints are actuated by pulling or pushing actuating tendons composed of multiple strands.

[0004] In this way, multiple actuating tendons may be externally connected to allow joint movement and manipulation of the surgical tool. In this case, if the surgical tool independently performs a rotational motion, the multiple actuating tendons may become entangled with each other, resulting in friction or reduced mobility due to unexpected tension changes resulting from tendon length changes. Furthermore, if these problems occur, the actuating tendons may become deformed or damaged.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need for an endoscopic surgical device that can prevent twisting of multiple operating tendons during the process of performing joint movement and manipulation of the aforementioned surgical tool.

[0006] The present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a surgical device that can facilitate various operations of a surgical tool while preventing twisting of an operating tendon for manipulating the surgical tool.

[0045] A surgical device according to one aspect of the present invention includes a surgical unit configured to be driven by a tendon, a connecting unit connected to the surgical unit and accommodating the tendon therein, and a driving module supporting the connecting unit and the tendon and enabling motion driving of at least one degree of freedom of the tendon.

[0046] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. Prior to this, it should be noted that the terms and words used in this specification and claims should not be construed as limited to their conventional or dictionary meanings. Based on the principle that the inventor can appropriately define the concepts of terms to best explain his or her invention, they should be interpreted in a way that aligns with the technical spirit of the present invention.

[0048] FIG. 1 is a drawing showing a surgical device (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIGS. 2 and 3 are drawings showing the inside of the surgical device (1) of FIG. 1 by projection, and FIG. 4 is a drawing showing a driving module (30) of the surgical device (1) of FIG. 1.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present invention, the X-axis direction shown in the drawing may mean the longitudinal direction of the surgical device (1), the Y-axis direction may mean the left-right direction of the surgical device (1) perpendicular to the X-axis direction and the horizontal plane (XY plane), and the Z-axis direction may mean the up-down direction perpendicular to both the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction.

[0050] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, a surgical device (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a surgical unit (10), a connecting unit (20), and a driving module (30). As an example, the surgical device (1) may be a surgical device used in an endoscopic surgical robot.

[0051] The above surgical unit (10) can perform operations such as grasping, bending, and rotation through a surgical tip installed at the end. This surgical unit (10) can be configured to be driven by a tendon (W). For example, the surgical unit (10) can have at least two joints and can include surgical forceps with various functions such as tweezers, forceps, and scissors.

[0052] The above connecting portion (20) is connected to the surgical section (10) and can accommodate a tendon (W) therein. As an example, the connecting portion (20) can be configured in a tubular shape so as to accommodate a tendon (W) therein.

[0053] The above driving module (30) can support the connecting portion (20) and the tendon (W), and enable motion driving of at least one degree of freedom of the tendon (W). As an example, the motion driving of at least one degree of freedom of the tendon (W) by the driving module (30) can include linear driving of the tendon (W), rotational driving of the tendon (W), etc. In this case, according to the motion driving of the tendon (W) by the driving module (30), the surgical part (10) can perform operations such as gripping, bending, and rotation.

[0054] According to this embodiment of the present invention, various motions of the tendon (W) can be driven by manipulating the drive module (30). Accordingly, various operations of the surgical unit (10) can be easily performed.

[0055] Referring again to FIGS. 1 to 4, the drive module (30) may include a housing (31), a first drive unit (32), and a second drive unit (33).

[0056] The above housing (31) can rotatably support the connecting portion (20) and accommodate a tendon (W) therein. At this time, the tendon (W) can include a single first tendon (W1) and a plurality of second tendons (W2).

[0057] The first driving unit (32) may be provided within the housing (31) to support the first tendon (W1). In addition, the first driving unit (32) may be configured to move along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31) or rotate around the central axis of the housing (31).

[0058] According to the driving of this first driving unit (32), a translational movement (movement in the X-axis direction) or a rotational movement of a single first tendon (W1) can be achieved. In addition, a motion of the surgical unit (10) can be performed through the motion driving of this single first tendon (W1).

[0059] The second driving unit (33) may be provided within the housing (31) to support the second tendon (W2). In addition, the second driving unit (33) may be configured to move along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31) or rotate around the central axis of the housing (31).

[0060] According to the driving of this second driving unit (33), translational movement (movement in the X-axis direction) or rotational movement of a plurality of second tendons (W2) can be performed. In this case, more diverse operations of the surgical unit (10) can be performed through the motion driving of the plurality of second tendons (W2).

[0061] In this way, various movements of the surgical part (10) can be performed according to the needs of the user by a structure that drives a single tendon (first tendon (W1)) or multiple tendons (second tendons (W2)).

[0062] FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are drawings showing the first driving unit (32) of the driving module (30) of FIG. 4, FIG. 7 is a drawing showing the tendon arrangement structure in the first driving unit (32), and FIG. 8 is a drawing showing the operation guide unit (34) of the driving module (30) of FIG. 4.

[0063] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 8, the driving module (30) may further include an operating guide portion (34) and a guide shaft (35).

[0064] The above-mentioned operation guide part (34) is provided in the housing (31) and can be configured to guide the movement of the first driving part (32) and the second driving part (33) in the longitudinal direction of the housing (31).

[0065] The above guide shaft (35) is provided within the housing (31) and can be configured to guide the movement of the first driving unit (32) and the second driving unit (33) in the longitudinal direction of the housing (31) or the rotational drive about the central axis of the housing (31). This guide shaft (35) can connect the first driving unit (32) and the second driving unit (33).

[0066] According to this implementation configuration, the translational or rotational motion of the first driving unit (32) and the second driving unit (33) can be more easily achieved. Accordingly, various movements of the surgical unit (10) can be performed more naturally.

[0067] Referring again to FIGS. 2 to 8, the first driving unit (32) may include a driving block (321), a driving block operating unit (322), and a power transmission unit (323).

[0068] The above drive block (321) supports the first tendon (W1) and can be configured to move along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31) or rotate around the central axis of the housing (31).

[0069] Specifically, the drive block (321) may include a block body (321a), a tendon hole (321b), and a shaft hole (321c).

[0070] The above block body (321a) may have a circular plate shape, but is not limited thereto.

[0071] The tendon hole (321b) may be formed approximately at the center of the block body (321a). At this time, the first tendon (W1) may be inserted into and supported by the tendon hole (321b). As an example, as shown in FIG. 7, a sleeve (S) may be press-fitted into the tendon hole (321b) to support the first tendon (W1) in the radial direction. Accordingly, when the drive block (321) rotates, the first tendon (W1) rotates together, thereby preventing the first tendon (W1) from being twisted within the housing (31).

[0072] The above shaft holes (321c) may be formed radially spaced apart from the center of the block body (321a). As an example, the shaft holes (321c) may be configured in numbers of four, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In this case, the guide shaft (35) may be provided in a number corresponding to the shaft holes (321c) and may be inserted into and supported by the shaft holes (321c).

[0073] In one embodiment, a protruding portion (C) may be formed on the inner surface of the shaft hole (321c). The protruding portion (C) may form a plurality of gaps between the guide shaft (35) and the inner surface of the shaft hole (321c), thereby preventing excessive restraint of the guide shaft (35) relative to the drive block (321). Meanwhile, the protruding portion (C) may be formed only on half of the inner surface of the shaft hole (321c).

[0074] In addition, in the block body (321a), a flexible portion (F) may be formed around the shaft hole (321c). The flexible portion (F) may be provided in the form of a groove having a shape that at least partially corresponds to the shaft hole (321c). In this case, when the guide shaft (35) is inserted into the shaft hole (321c), the shaft hole (321c) may open toward the flexible portion (F). Accordingly, the guide shaft (35) can be more easily inserted into the shaft hole (321c).

[0075] The above driving block operating part (322) may be arranged in the operating guide part (34) and configured to move the driving block (321) along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31).

[0076] This driving block operating part (322) may include a body (322a). The body (322a) may be inserted into the insertion hole (341) of the operating guide part (34). At this time, the body (322a) may be moved in the longitudinal direction of the housing (31) along the insertion hole (341) of the operating guide part (34).

[0077] The power transmission unit (323) is provided in the drive block (321) and, when coupled with the drive block operating unit (322), can be configured to move the drive block (321) along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31). This power transmission unit (323) can be coupled to a flange portion (321d) formed on the outer circumferential surface of the block body (321a).

[0078] In addition, the body (322a) of the drive block operating portion (322) can be coupled with the power transmission portion (323) by being pressed toward the power transmission portion (323) on the insertion hole (341) of the operating guide portion (34). In this case, when the body (322a) of the drive block operating portion (322) moves along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31), the drive block (321) can be moved along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31).

[0079] Meanwhile, the body (322a) of the drive block operating portion (322) can be moved in the opposite direction of the power transmission portion (323) on the insertion port (341) of the operating guide portion (34) so ​​that the coupling with the power transmission portion (323) can be released. In this case, movement of the drive block (321) in the longitudinal direction of the housing (31) is restricted, and rotational driving about the central axis of the housing (31) of the drive block (321) can be enabled.

[0080] According to this implementation configuration, when the first driving unit (32) is moved in translation, the driving block operating unit (322) and the driving block (321) can be coupled, and when the first driving unit (32) is rotated, the driving block operating unit (322) and the driving block (321) can be released from each other, so that the twisting of the tendon (first tendon (W1)) can be minimized when each operation is performed.

[0081] In particular, the drive block operating unit (322) may further include a fixing projection (322b).

[0082] The above-mentioned fixing protrusion (322b) may be configured to be insertable into the fixing groove (342) of the operating guide portion (34). The driving block operating portion (322) may be configured to be released from engagement with the power transmission portion (323) when the fixing protrusion (322b) is inserted into the fixing groove (342).

[0083] Specifically, the fixing projection (322b) may be formed to protrude from the body (322a) of the driving block operating portion (322) toward the operating guide portion (34). In addition, the fixing groove (342) may be formed on a surface of the operating guide portion (34) that faces the fixing projection (322b). In particular, a plurality of fixing grooves (342) may be provided along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31). As an example, the interval between the plurality of fixing grooves (342) may be set to a fine interval.

[0084] According to this implementation configuration, not only can the translational movement of the first driving unit (32) be easily achieved with simple operation, but there is also an advantage in that fine adjustment of the translational movement of the first driving unit (32) is possible.

[0085] Additionally, the power transmission unit (323) may include a home unit (323a).

[0086] The above-mentioned home portion (323a) may be configured such that the end of the drive block operating portion (322) can be inserted therein. This power transmission portion (323) may be configured such that rotation about the central axis of the housing (31) is restricted when the end of the drive block operating portion (322) is inserted into the home portion (323a).

[0087] Specifically, the body (322a) of the drive block operating portion (322) can be coupled with the power transmission portion (323) by being pressed toward the power transmission portion (323) on the insertion hole (341) of the operating guide portion (34). In this case, the end of the body (322a) of the drive block operating portion (322) can be inserted into the groove (323a), and the drive block (321) provided with the power transmission portion (323) can be configured to be restricted from rotating about the central axis of the housing (31). In this state, when the body (322a) of the drive block operating portion (322) moves along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31), the drive block (321) can move along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31).

[0088] According to this implementation configuration, not only can the translational movement of the first driving unit (32) be easily achieved with a simple operation, but also the rotation of the first driving unit (32) can be limited during the translational movement of the first driving unit (32), thereby minimizing the twisting of the tendon (first tendon (W1)).

[0089] Figures 9 to 11 are drawings showing the second driving unit (33) of the driving module (30) of Figure 4.

[0090] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4 and 9 to 11, the second driving unit (33) may include a first guide block (331), a second guide block (332), and a guide gear (333).

[0091] The above first guide block (331) can be configured to support one of the second tendons (W2) and move along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31) or rotate around the central axis of the housing (31).

[0092] Specifically, the first guide block (331) may include a first guide block body (331a), a tendon hole (331b), and a shaft hole (331c).

[0093] The above first guide block body (331a) may have a circular plate shape, but is not limited thereto.

[0094] The above tendon hole (331b) may be formed in the first guide block body (331a). At this time, any one of the second tendons (W2) may be inserted into and supported by the tendon hole (331b). Although not illustrated in detail, the aforementioned sleeve (S) may be press-fitted into the tendon hole (331b) to support any one of the second tendons (W2) in the radial direction. Accordingly, when the first guide block (331) rotates, any one of the second tendons (W2) may rotate together, thereby preventing any one of the second tendons (W2) from being twisted within the housing (31).

[0095] The above shaft holes (331c) may be formed radially spaced apart from the center of the first guide block body (331a). As an example, the shaft holes (331c) may be configured in four, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In this case, the guide shaft (35) may be provided in a number corresponding to the shaft holes (331c) and may be inserted into and supported by the shaft holes (331c).

[0096] In one embodiment, a protruding portion (C) may be formed on the inner surface of the shaft hole (331c). The protruding portion (C) may form a plurality of gaps between the guide shaft (35) and the inner surface of the shaft hole (331c), thereby preventing excessive restraint of the guide shaft (35) relative to the first guide block (331). Meanwhile, the protruding portion (C) may be formed only on half of the inner surface of the shaft hole (331c).

[0097] In addition, in the first guide block body (331a), a flexible portion (F) may be formed around the shaft hole (331c). The flexible portion (F) may be provided in the form of a groove having a shape that at least partially corresponds to the shaft hole (331c). In this case, when the guide shaft (35) is inserted into the shaft hole (331c), the shaft hole (331c) may open toward the flexible portion (F). Accordingly, the guide shaft (35) can be more easily inserted into the shaft hole (331c).

[0098] The second guide block (332) is arranged to face the first guide block (331) in the longitudinal direction of the housing (31), supports the other of the second tendons (W2), and can be configured to move along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31) or rotate around the central axis of the housing (31). This second guide block (332) can be connected to the first guide block (331) through a guide shaft (35).

[0099] Specifically, the second guide block (332) may include a second guide block body (332a), a tendon hole (332b), and a shaft hole (332c).

[0100] The above second guide block body (332a) may have a circular plate shape, but is not limited thereto.

[0101] The above tendon hole (332b) may be formed in the second guide block body (332a). At this time, another one of the second tendons (W2) may be inserted into and supported by the tendon hole (332b). Although not illustrated in detail, the aforementioned sleeve (S) may be press-fitted into the tendon hole (332b) to support another one of the second tendons (W2) in the radial direction. Accordingly, when the second guide block (332) rotates, another one of the second tendons (W2) may rotate together, thereby preventing another one of the second tendons (W2) from twisting within the housing (31).

[0102] The above shaft holes (332c) may be formed radially spaced apart from the center of the second guide block body (332a). As an example, the shaft holes (332c) may be configured in four numbers, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In this case, the guide shaft (35) may be provided in a number corresponding to the shaft holes (332c) and may be inserted into and supported by the shaft holes (332c).

[0103] In one embodiment, a protruding portion (C) may be formed on the inner surface of the shaft hole (332c). The protruding portion (C) may form a plurality of gaps between the guide shaft (35) and the inner surface of the shaft hole (332c), thereby preventing excessive restraint of the guide shaft (35) relative to the second guide block (332). Meanwhile, the protruding portion (C) may be formed only on half of the inner surface of the shaft hole (332c).

[0104] In addition, in the second guide block body (332a), a flexible portion (F) may be formed around the shaft hole (332c). The flexible portion (F) may be provided in the form of a groove having a shape that at least partially corresponds to the shaft hole (332c). In this case, when the guide shaft (35) is inserted into the shaft hole (332c), the shaft hole (332c) may open toward the flexible portion (F). Accordingly, the guide shaft (35) can be more easily inserted into the shaft hole (332c).

[0105] According to the driving of this second driving unit (33), translational movement (movement in the X-axis direction) or rotational movement of a plurality of second tendons (W2) can be performed. In this case, more diverse operations of the surgical unit (10) can be performed through the motion driving of the plurality of second tendons (W2).

[0106] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4 and 9 to 11, the guide gear (333) may be arranged between the first guide block (331) and the second guide block (332), and may be configured to guide movement of the first guide block (331) and the second guide block (332) in different directions in the longitudinal direction of the housing (31). The guide gear (333) may be, for example, a pinion gear.

[0107] Specifically, the guide gear (333) can guide the first guide block (331) supporting one of the second tendons (W2) and the second guide block (332) supporting the other of the second tendons (W2) to move in different directions in the longitudinal direction of the housing (31).

[0108] For example, when the first guide block (331) moves toward the surgical section (10) along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31) and the second guide block (332) moves in the opposite direction of the surgical section (10) according to the driving of the guide gear (333), one of the second tendons (W2) can be pulled toward the surgical section (10), and the other of the second tendons (W2) can be pulled toward the opposite side of the surgical section (10). Meanwhile, when the first guide block (331) moves in the opposite direction of the surgical section (10) along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31) and the second guide block (332) moves toward the surgical section (10) according to the driving of the guide gear (333), one of the second tendons (W2) can be pulled toward the side opposite to the surgical section (10) of the surgical section (1), and the other of the second tendons (W2) can be pulled toward the surgical section (10).

[0109] That is, the guide gear (333) can adjust the relative gap between the first guide block (331) and the second guide block (332).

[0110] According to this implementation configuration, more diverse operations of the surgical part (10) can be performed through more diverse motion driving of the plurality of second tendons (W2).

[0111] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4 and FIGS. 9 to 11, the first guide block (331) may include a first driving guide portion (331d).

[0112] The first driving guide portion (331d) may be formed to extend in the longitudinal direction of the housing (31) from one side of the first guide block (331). At this time, the first driving guide portion (331d) may support one of the second tendons (W2). In addition, the first driving guide portion (331d) may be connected to the tendon hole (331b) of the first guide block (331) described above. As an example, the first driving guide portion (331d) may be a rack gear corresponding to the guide gear (333).

[0113] Additionally, the second guide block (332) may include a second driving guide portion (332d).

[0114] The second driving guide portion (332d) may be formed to extend in the longitudinal direction of the housing (31) from one side of the second guide block (332) opposite to one side of the first guide block (331). At this time, the second driving guide portion (332d) may support another of the second tendons (W2). In addition, the second driving guide portion (332d) may be connected to the tendon hole (332b) of the second guide block (332) described above. As an example, the second driving guide portion (332d) may be a rack gear corresponding to the guide gear (333).

[0115] Meanwhile, a guide passage hole (331e) having a size through which a second driving guide part (332d) can pass may be formed in the first guide block (331). In addition, a guide passage hole (332e) having a size through which a first driving guide part (331d) can pass may be formed in the second guide block (332). Accordingly, when the first guide block (331) and the second guide block (332) are brought closer to each other by the driving of the guide gear (333), the first driving guide part (331d) can pass through the guide passage hole (332e) of the second guide block (332), and the second driving guide part (332d) can pass through the guide passage hole (331e) of the first guide block (331). Therefore, when the first guide block (331) and the second guide block (332) move in translation toward each other, interference between the first guide block (331) and the second guide block (332) can be prevented.

[0116] Additionally, the guide gear (333) may be configured to be rotatable between the first driving guide portion (331d) and the second driving guide portion (332d) in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the housing (31). As an example, the guide gears (333) may be configured as a pair.

[0117] Specifically, the second driving unit (33) may further include a support block (B). The support block (B) may be positioned between the first guide block (331) and the second guide block (332). In addition, a guide shaft (35) may pass through the support block (B).

[0118] And the guide gear (333) can be coupled to the support block (B) via the support shaft (333a). In addition, the guide gear (333) can be configured to be rotatable around the support shaft (333a).

[0119] At this time, the guide gear (333) can be positioned between the first guide portion (331d) and the second driving guide portion (332d) in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the housing (31), and the first guide portion (331d) and the second guide portion (332d) can be configured to extend in opposite directions from the first guide block (331) and the second guide block (332), respectively. Accordingly, when the guide gear (333) rotates in one direction, the first driving guide portion (331d) and the second driving guide portion (332d) can be driven in different directions.

[0120] In this way, the relative gap between the first guide block (331) and the second guide block (332) can be adjusted according to the rotational drive of the guide gear (333) arranged between the first guide block (331) and the second guide block (332). Accordingly, a more diverse motion drive of a plurality of second tendons (W2) can be achieved with a simple structure.

[0121] As described above, when the guide gear (333) rotates in one direction, the first driving guide part (331d) and the second driving guide part (332d) can be driven in different directions, and in this case, the guide gear (333) and the support block (B) supporting the guide gear (333) may not move in the longitudinal direction of the housing (31).

[0122] Accordingly, the first driving guide part (331d) and the second driving guide part (332d) can be configured to move the same distance in the longitudinal direction of the housing (31) according to the rotation of the guide gear (333).

[0123] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4 and 8 to 11, the second driving unit (33) may further include a guide block operating unit (334) and a guide power transmission unit (335).

[0124] The above guide block operating part (334) is arranged in the operating guide part (34) and can be configured to move the first guide block (331) along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31).

[0125] This guide block operating part (334) may include a body (334a). The body (334a) may be inserted into the insertion hole (341) of the operating guide part (34). At this time, the body (334a) may be moved in the longitudinal direction of the housing (31) along the insertion hole (341) of the operating guide part (34).

[0126] The above guide power transmission unit (335) is provided on the first guide block (331) and, when coupled with the guide block operating unit (334), can be configured to move the first guide block (331) along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31). This guide power transmission unit (335) can be coupled to a flange portion (331f) formed on the outer circumferential surface of the first guide block (331).

[0127] In addition, the body (334a) of the guide block operating portion (334) can be coupled with the guide power transmitting portion (335) by being pressed toward the guide power transmitting portion (335) on the insertion port (341) of the operating guide portion (34). In this case, when the body (334a) of the guide block operating portion (334) moves along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31), the first guide block (331) can move along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31). At this time, when the first guide block (331) moves along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31), the second guide block (332) can move in the opposite direction to the driving direction of the first guide block (331) as the aforementioned guide gear (333) rotates.

[0128] Meanwhile, the body (334a) of the guide block operating portion (334) can be moved in the opposite direction of the guide power transmission portion (335) on the insertion port (341) of the operating guide portion (34) so ​​that the coupling with the guide power transmission portion (335) can be released. In this case, the longitudinal movement of the housing (31) of the first guide block (331) and the second guide block (332) is restricted, and the rotational driving about the central axis of the housing (31) of the first guide block (331) and the second guide block (332) can be enabled.

[0129] Meanwhile, the guide power transmission unit (335) is not limited to being provided in the first guide block (331), but may also be provided in a flange portion (332f) formed on the outer surface of the second guide block (332) and coupled with the guide block operating unit (334).

[0130] That is, when one of the first guide block (331) and the second guide block (332) moves along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31) according to the guide of the guide block operating unit (334), power is transmitted to the other of the first guide block (331) and the second guide block (332) by the rotation of the guide gear (333), so that both the first guide block (331) and the second guide block (332) can be driven.

[0131] According to this implementation configuration, when the second driving unit (33) is moved in translation, the guide block operating unit (334) and one of the first guide block (331) and the second guide block (332) are coupled, and when the second driving unit (33) is rotated, the guide block operating unit (334) and one of the first guide block (331) and the second guide block (332) are released, so that the twisting of the tendon (second tendon (W2)) can be minimized when each operation is performed.

[0132] In particular, the guide block operating part (334) may further include a fixing projection (334b).

[0133] The above-mentioned fixing protrusion (334b) may be configured to be insertable into the fixing groove (342) of the operation guide portion (34). The guide block operation portion (334) may be configured to be released from engagement with the guide power transmission portion (335) when the fixing protrusion (334b) is inserted into the fixing groove (342).

[0134] Specifically, the fixing projection (334b) may be formed to protrude from the body (334a) of the guide block operating portion (334) toward the operating guide portion (34). In addition, the fixing groove (342) may be formed on a surface of the operating guide portion (34) that faces the fixing projection (334b). In particular, a plurality of fixing grooves (342) may be provided along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31). As an example, the interval between the plurality of fixing grooves (342) may be set to a fine interval.

[0135] According to this implementation configuration, not only can the translational movement of the second driving unit (33) be easily achieved with simple operation, but there is also an advantage in that fine adjustment of the translational movement of the second driving unit (33) is possible.

[0136] Additionally, the guide power transmission unit (335) may include a home unit (335a).

[0137] The above-mentioned groove (335a) may be configured such that the end of the guide block operating portion (334) can be inserted therein. This guide power transmission portion (335) may be configured such that rotation about the central axis of the housing (31) is restricted when the end of the guide block operating portion (334) is inserted into the groove (335a).

[0138] Specifically, the body (334a) of the guide block operating portion (334) can be coupled with the guide power transmission portion (335) by being pressed toward the guide power transmission portion (335) on the insertion hole (341) of the operating guide portion (34). In this case, the end of the body (334a) of the guide block operating portion (334) can be inserted into the groove (335a), and the first guide block (331) or the second guide block (332) provided with the guide power transmission portion (335) can be configured to be restricted from rotation about the central axis of the housing (31). In this state, when the body (334a) of the guide block operating portion (334) moves along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31), the first guide block (331) or the second guide block (332) can move along the longitudinal direction of the housing (31).

[0139] According to this implementation configuration, not only can the translational movement of the second driving unit (33) be easily achieved with a simple operation, but also the rotation of the second driving unit (33) can be limited during the translational movement of the second driving unit (33), thereby minimizing the twisting of the tendon (second tendon (W2)).

[0140] Fig. 12 is a drawing showing the rotation guide part (36) of the drive module (30) of Fig. 4.

[0141] Referring to FIG. 12, the drive module (30) may further include a rotation guide portion (36).

[0142] The above rotation guide part (36) may include a rotation block (361).

[0143] The above-mentioned rotation block (361) may be provided in the housing (31). As an example, a portion of the rotation block (361) may be exposed to the outside of the housing (31).

[0144] In addition, the rotating block (361) can be configured to be connected to the first driving unit (32) and the second driving unit (33) through a guide shaft (35) to rotate the first driving unit (32) and the second driving unit (33) about the central axis of the housing (31).

[0145] Specifically, the rotation guide part (36) may further include a rotation stopper (362) and a rotation operation part (363) in addition to the rotation block (361).

[0146] The above rotation stopper (362) may be configured to be axially coupled with the rotation block (361) and to limit the rotation of the rotation block (361).

[0147] The above rotation operation part (363) is configured to limit the rotation of the rotation stopper (362) when it comes into contact with the rotation stopper (362), and can enable the rotation of the rotation stopper (362) when the contact with the rotation stopper (362) is released.

[0148] That is, when the rotation operation part (363) comes into contact with the rotation stopper (362) so as to surround at least a portion of the rotation stopper (362), the rotation of the rotation stopper (362) can be restricted, thereby restricting the rotation of the rotation block (361). In addition, when the contact with the rotation stopper (362) is released, the rotation operation part (363) can enable the rotation of the rotation stopper (362), thereby also enabling the rotation of the rotation block (361). As an example, a portion of the rotation operation part (363) is configured in the form of a handle, so that contact or release from the rotation stopper (362) can be easily achieved depending on the user's operation.

[0149] Meanwhile, when the drive module (30) is driven to rotate, the first drive unit (32) and the second drive unit (33) described above may be limited in their movement in the longitudinal direction of the housing (31) and may be capable of rotating about the central axis of the housing (31). In this state, when the contact between the rotation operation unit (363) and the rotation stopper (362) is released, the rotation block (361) may be capable of rotating about the central axis of the housing (31). Then, when the user rotates the portion of the housing (31) where the rotation block (361) is exposed, the rotation block (361) may rotate, and the first drive unit (32) and the second drive unit (33) may rotate simultaneously.

[0150] In one embodiment, the drive module (30) may include a separate rotation motor. This rotation motor may be configured to rotate the rotation block (361) when contact between the rotation operation part (363) and the rotation stopper (362) is released.

[0151] According to this embodiment of the present invention, when the rotational motion is operated by the rotation guide part (36), the first driving part (32) and the second driving part (33) can be rotated simultaneously, so that the twisting of the tendon (W) can be minimized.

[0152] Fig. 13 is a drawing showing a surgical device (2) according to another embodiment of the present invention, and Figs. 14 and 15 are drawings showing the driving of the force measuring unit (37) in the surgical device (2) of Fig. 13 as an example. At this time, (a) in Fig. 15 is a drawing showing a state before the driving module (30) is driven, and (b) in Fig. 15 is a drawing showing a state after the driving module (30) is driven.

[0153] Since the surgical device (2) according to the present embodiment is similar to the surgical device (1) according to the previous embodiment, duplicate descriptions of components that are substantially the same or similar to those of the previous embodiment will be omitted, and the following will focus on differences from the previous embodiment.

[0154] Referring to FIGS. 13 to 15, a force measuring unit (37) may be illustrated in the surgical device (2). Meanwhile, detailed illustrations of each component of the driving module (30) described above in the surgical device (2) according to the present embodiment will be omitted.

[0155] In the surgical device (2) according to the present embodiment, the guide shaft (35) of the drive module (30) may be configured to guide at least one degree of freedom motion driving of the tendon (W) by the drive module (30). As described above, the at least one degree of freedom motion driving of the tendon (W) by the drive module (30) may include linear driving of the tendon (W), rotational driving of the tendon (W), etc. At this time, according to the motion driving of the tendon (W) by the drive module (30), the surgical part (10) may perform operations such as grasping, bending, and rotation. In addition, the surgical part (10) may perform operations such as grasping, bending, and rotation through a surgical tip installed at an end thereof.

[0156] In addition, in the surgical device (2) according to the present embodiment, the force measuring unit (37) can be coupled to the guide shaft (35) as shown in FIGS. 13 to 15.

[0157] And the force measuring unit (37) can measure the tension of the tendon (W) according to the driving of the driving module (30) and measure the force applied to the end of the surgical unit (10).

[0158] Specifically, the force measuring unit (37) may include an elastic body (371), a measuring guide block (372), and an elastic body guide unit (373).

[0159] The above-described elastic body (371) can provide initial tension to the tendon (W) by elastic force before the driving of the driving module (30). In addition, the elastic body (371) can be elastically deformed according to the tension applied to the tendon (W) by the driving of the driving module (30). That is, the elastic body (371) can provide initial tension to the tendon (W) by the stored elastic force even before the elastic deformation by the driving of the driving module (30). Meanwhile, in the above-described surgical device (2), the configuration corresponding to the above-described elastic body (371) can also be changed to a magnet having magnetic force.

[0160] The above measurement guide block (372) can be coupled to the guide shaft (35) and configured to support the elastic body (371) and the tendon (W).

[0161] The above elastic body guide part (373) is provided in the measurement guide block (372) and can be configured to guide compression of the elastic body (371) or tension of the elastic body (371) according to the tension applied to the tendon (W) by the driving of the driving module (30).

[0162] Specifically, the elastic guide portion (373) may include an elastic guide rod (373a), an elastic guide housing (373b), and a tendon connecting portion (373c).

[0163] The elastic body guide rod (373a) may be provided in a form in which an elastic body (371) is inserted. In addition, the elastic body guide rod (373a) may be configured to guide compression of the elastic body (371) or tension of the elastic body (371) according to tension applied to the tendon (W) by driving the driving module (30).

[0164] The above elastic guide housing (373b) may be provided on the measurement guide block (372). As an example, as shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, the elastic guide housing (373b) may be formed to protrude from the measurement guide block (372) in the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) of the surgical device (1).

[0165] In addition, the elastic guide housing (373b) may be configured to support the elastic guide rod (373a). At this time, the elastic guide housing (373b) may have a separate accommodation space capable of supporting the elastic guide rod (373a).

[0166] The tendon connecting portion (373c) may have one end connected to an elastic guide rod (373a) and the other end connected to a tendon (W). In addition, the tendon connecting portion (373c) may be configured to contact one end of an elastic body (371) on the elastic guide rod (373a), and may be configured to move along the elastic guide rod (373a) to compress the elastic body (371) when a tension greater than the initial tension is applied to the tendon (W) by the driving of the driving module (30), as shown in FIG. 15(b).

[0167] At this time, one end of the elastic body (371) can be in contact with the tendon connecting portion (373c), and the other end of the elastic body (371) can be in contact with the measuring guide block (372). That is, the elastic body (371) can be supported on the elastic body guide rod (373a) at one end by the tendon connecting portion (373c), and at the other end by the measuring guide block (372).

[0168] In addition, one side of the elastic guide housing (373b) in the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) of the surgical device (1) is configured to come into contact with the tendon connecting portion (373c) before the driving module (30) is driven, as shown in Fig. 15(a), thereby preventing the tendon connecting portion (373c) from being separated from the elastic guide rod (373a).

[0169] In one embodiment, the force measuring unit (37) may further include a displacement measuring sensor (374). The displacement measuring sensor (374) may be provided at the tendon connecting portion (373c). In addition, the displacement measuring sensor (374) may be configured to measure the displacement of the tendon (W) toward the surgical portion (10) when the tendon connecting portion (373c) moves along the elastic guide rod (373a) to compress the elastic body (371) when a tension greater than the initial tension is applied to the tendon (W) by the driving of the driving module (30).

[0170] That is, when the tendon connecting portion (373c) moves along the elastic guide rod (373a) in accordance with the driving of the driving module (30), the displacement measuring sensor (374) can measure the displacement of the tendon (W) toward the surgical section (10) through the amount of compression of the elastic body (371) that occurs when the tendon connecting portion (373c) compresses the elastic body (371) along the elastic guide rod (373a).

[0171] Meanwhile, the force measuring unit (37) may further include a processor (not shown). The processor may measure the tension of the tendon (W) according to the displacement of the tendon (W) toward the surgical unit (10) measured by the displacement measuring sensor (374) when the surgical unit (10) performs operations such as grasping, bending, and rotation. As an example, the processor may be implemented in the form of a CPU, GPU, AP, or a combination thereof having an arithmetic processing function, and may be provided with DRAM, flash memory, SSD, or other various types of memory as needed.

[0172] Accordingly, the processor can measure the tension of the tendon (W) according to the driving of the driving module (30) and measure the force acting on the end of the surgical section (10) according to the driving of the driving module (30).

[0173] As described above, according to the surgical device (2) according to the present embodiment, the force acting on the end of the surgical part (10) can be accurately measured through the displacement of the tendon (W) generated by the driving of the driving module (30). By measuring the force acting on the end of the surgical part (10), it is possible to easily determine whether the surgical operation on the human body performed by the surgical device (2) is safe.

[0174] In addition, according to the surgical device (2) according to the present embodiment, the structure that minimizes the twisting of the tendon (W) when performing various operations of the driving module (30) enables accurate and stable tension measurement of the tendon (W) regardless of the gripping, rotation, bending, etc. of the surgical part (10), so that the force acting on the end of the surgical part (10) can be accurately measured.

[0175] As described above, although the present invention has been described by limited embodiments and drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications and variations are possible by a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains within the scope of the technical idea of ​​the present invention and the equivalent scope of the patent claims to be described below.

[0176] Meanwhile, although terms indicating directions such as up, down, left, right, front, and back are used in the present invention, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that these terms are only for the convenience of explanation and may vary depending on the location of the target object or the location of the observer.
