[0002] Electric anastomosers play a vital role in modern surgery, and they achieve rapid cutting and anastomosis of tissues through precise mechanical structures. In these mechanical structures, the emergency back-off structure ensures the emergency operation function of the electric anastomat in case of failure. In existing designs, a single-arm wrench is usually used for emergency back-off operation, and the wrench is stored in the housing of the electric anastomat body when it is not used.

[0003] In existing electric anastomosers, the emergency back-off structure is usually designed to store the emergency back-off wrench in the body. Due to the limitations of the storage space in the body and the interference with the housing during use, the emergency back-off wrench is usually made into a single-arm foldable two-section structure that is stored in the body. When used, the wrench is opened to extend the lever arm to reduce the effect of torsion. However, such a single-arm structure causes unbalanced stress on the wrench during emergency back-off, resulting in unstable instruments when the emergency back-off force is large, which causes secondary damage to the anastomosis in the distal jaw.

Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification. Any use of "or" in the present document is meant to encompass both a exclusive or (either but not both) and an inclusive or (any or all). Although the terms "first," "second," "third," etc. can be used in this disclosure to describe various example features and elements, these terms are not intended to denote a particular importance or significance. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular example embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting.

[0037] The application provides an emergency back-off operation assembly, an emergency back-off device and an electric anastomat. The electric anastomat comprises an anastomat body and a cartridge assembly at the distal end of the anastomat body. Fig. 1 is a schematic view of the partial structure of the anastomat body according to an embodiment of the application. As shown in Fig. 1, the anastomat body comprises a housing 6 and an emergency back-off device at least partially located inside the housing 6, wherein the housing 6 is internally provided with a cavity 7. The emergency back-off device comprises a power assembly 3, a transmission assembly 4, an actuating member 5 and the emergency back-off operation assembly, wherein the emergency back-off operation assembly is configured to be accommodated inside the cavity 7 of the housing 6 in a storage state. The power assembly 3 comprises a motor. The transmission assembly 4 comprises at least one transmission gear. The actuating member 5 extends along the axial direction of the anastomat and is movable along the axial direction of the anastomat. The actuating member 5 is provided with a tooth surface on one side. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the actuating member 5 through the transmission assembly 4, and the transmission gear transmits the power of the output shaft of the motor to the actuating member 5. When the power assembly 3 and the transmission assembly 4 are in normal operation, the axial movement of the actuating member 5 can be driven by the motor to realize the normal operation and back-off of the anastomat. When the motor rotates forward, the actuating member 5 is driven to move in the distal direction to realize the closing and firing of the anastomat. When the motor reverses, the actuating member 5 is driven to move in the proximal direction to realize the back-off of the anastomat. The transmission assembly 4 further comprises a back-off matching member 8, which is a shaft penetrating through a gear of the transmission assembly 4. When the power assembly 3 fails or the transmission assembly 4 fails, the normal back-off of the anastomat cannot be realized by the motor. In this case, the emergency back-off operation assembly can be connected with the back-off matching member 8 and drive the back-off matching member 8 to rotate to realize manual emergency back-off.

[0038] In the present application, the distal end and the proximal end are relative to the operator, the end closer to the operator is the proximal end, the end farther from the operator, i.e. the end closer to the surgical position, is the distal end, and the direction along the axis of the anastomat is the axial direction, i.e. the direction from the distal end to the proximal end of the anastomat or the direction from the proximal end to the distal end of the anastomat. For example, in the view of Fig. 1, the right side is the distal end side of the anastomat, and the left side is the proximal end side of the anastomat.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the emergency fallback operation assembly comprises a first operation member 1 and a second operation member 2. The first operation member 1 comprises a first pivot part 11 and a first operation part 12. The second operation member 2 comprises a second pivot part 21, a second operation part 22 and a fallback driving part 24. The fallback driving part 24 comprises an internal hexagonal bolt hole. The top of the fallback matching member 8 is provided with a nut part matched with the fallback driving part 24. When the emergency fallback operation assembly is needed to be used for manual emergency fallback, the fallback driving part 24 is sleeved on the top of the fallback matching member 8 (shown in FIG. 1), so that the non-rotatable connection between the two is achieved, the operation assembly is rotated, the fallback matching member 8 is driven by the fallback driving part 24, and then the actuating member 5 is driven to rotate by the gear. Therefore, in this embodiment, the internal hexagonal bolt hole is arranged on the fallback driving part 24, which is directly sleeved on the top of the fallback matching member 8 for use, and the operation is very convenient.

[0040] The second pivot joint 21 is rotatably connected with the first pivot joint 11 to switch the operation assembly between the storage state and the unfolded state. Fig. 2 shows the storage state of the operation assembly. When the operation assembly is in the storage state, the first operation part 12 and the second operation part 22 are located on the same side of the back driving part 24, and the first operation part 12 and the second operation part 22 are at least partially side by side, so that the overall volume of the operation assembly is reduced. In this case, the operation assembly can be stored in the cavity 7 of the shell 6 without occupying additional space, and it is not necessary to provide a separate package for the operation assembly, which is very convenient for storage and transportation. When it is needed to use, the operation assembly is taken out from the cavity 7 of the shell 6 (shown in Fig. 1), and the second operation part 22 is rotated relative to the first operation part 12 to unfold the operation assembly. Fig. 3 shows the unfolded state of the operation assembly. When the operation assembly is in the unfolded state, the first operation part 12 and the second operation part 22 are located on the two sides of the back driving part 24, respectively, to form a substantially balanced and symmetrical structure relative to the back driving part 24. In the unfolded state, the emergency back operation assembly is inserted into the opening of the shell 6 at least partially, and the back driving part 24 is sleeved on the top of the back matching part 8. In this case, the second operation part 2 is located below, and the first operation part 1 is located above. The doctor can drive the back matching part 8 to rotate by exerting a force on the first operation part 12 and the second operation part 22 in a specified direction, so that the gear engaged with the actuating part 5 is rotated, and the actuating part 5 is driven to move in the proximal direction, thereby realizing manual emergency back. In the operation, since the first operation part 12 and the second operation part 22 are located on the two sides of the back driving part 24, respectively, the first operation part 1 and the second operation part 2 form two balanced operation arms, which are more balanced, stable and labor-saving than the single-arm wrench in the prior art. The force exerted by the doctor on the operation assembly during back operation can be saved, the structure is simple, and the use is convenient.

[0041] As shown in Figs. 3-6, the second pivot joint 21 and the back driving part 24 are arranged on the same end of the second operation part 2, and the back driving part 24 is located on the side of the second pivot joint 21 away from the first pivot joint 11. When the operation assembly is in the unfolded state, the first operation part 1 and the second operation part 2 form a 180-degree angle to form a substantially symmetrical two-arm structure relative to the back driving part 24 at the central position. The operation assembly in the unfolded state forms a symmetrical two-wing two-arm structure, so that it is balanced, stable and labor-saving when force is exerted, and half of the torque can be saved compared with the single-arm wrench.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 3-5, at least one side of the first operation part 12 is provided with a first anti-skid structure 121. At least one side of the second operation part 22 is provided with a second anti-skid structure 221. The first anti-skid structure 121 and the second anti-skid structure 221 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the center position. The first anti-skid structure 121 and the second anti-skid structure 221 are provided as concave-convex structures for example. When the doctor operates, the doctor can place the hand on the first anti-skid structure 121 and the second anti-skid structure 221, which is more convenient for operation, prevents the hand from slipping and separating from the operation assembly, and improves the stability of the actuating member in the return process. As shown in FIG. 5, the second operation part 22 is provided with a chamfer 222, which facilitates the doctor to operate the second operation part 2 to rotate to unfold the operation assembly. Specifically, when the operation assembly is in the storage state, the first operation part 12 and the second operation part 22 are located on the same side of the return driving part 24, and the first operation part 12 and the second operation part 22 are attached. When the doctor needs to use it, an acting force is applied at the chamfer 222 position, so that the second operation part 22 rotates relative to the first operation part 12, so that the operation assembly can be more conveniently opened. As shown in FIG. 6, the top surface of the first pivot part 11 of the first operation part 12 is provided with a rotation indicating part 14. The rotation indicating part 14 includes an arrow. The arrow indicates the doctor's operation rotation direction when the operation assembly is used for return operation. By providing the rotation indicating part 14, the doctor's misoperation can be avoided, and the doctor's operation direction is prevented from being reversed to move the actuating member 5 in the distal direction.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the first pivot part 11 is provided with a first clamping structure, and the second pivot part 21 is provided with a second clamping structure matched with the first clamping structure, and the first clamping structure and the second clamping structure form axial fixation. In this embodiment, the second pivot part 21 is provided with a cavity, and the first clamping mechanism includes at least one buckle 111, and the buckle 111 is at least partially located inside the cavity. The second clamping structure includes a stepped portion 211 on the inner wall of the cavity. The buckle 111 is clamped on the stepped portion 211, which realizes the axial fixation of the first pivot part 1111 and the second pivot part 2121, and prevents the second pivot part 2121 from being separated from the first pivot part 1111 downwardly when the operation assembly is used. In other alternative embodiments, the first clamping structure can be a stepped portion, and the second clamping structure can be a buckle, which form axial fixation, and also belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0044] As shown in FIGS. 8-10, the first operating member 1 is provided with a first stop portion 13, and the second operating member 2 is provided with a second stop portion 23. When the operating assembly is in the unfolded state, the first stop portion 13 abuts against the second stop portion 23 to prevent the unfolding angle of the operating assembly from being too large. One of the first stop portion 13 and the second stop portion 23 is an arc-shaped groove, and the other is a protrusion which is at least partially embedded in the arc-shaped groove. In FIG. 11, the first stop portion 13 is the arc-shaped groove, and the second stop portion 23 is the protrusion. When the operating assembly is in the storage state, the protrusion abuts against the first end (lower end in FIG. 11) of the arc-shaped groove. When the operating assembly is in the unfolded state, the protrusion abuts against the second end (upper end in FIG. 11) of the arc-shaped groove to prevent the unfolding angle between the first operating member 1 and the second operating member 2 from being too large, and to facilitate maintaining the first operating member 1 and the second operating member 2 in a state of being 180 degrees apart, thereby improving the operation stability during use.

[0045] As shown in FIGS. 9 and 11, the first stop portion 13 includes an inclined circumferential first stop surface, and the second stop portion 23 includes an inclined second stop surface. The first stop surface and the second stop surface are inverse inclined surfaces. When the first stop surface and the second stop surface abut against each other at the position a shown in the figure, the second operating member 2 is blocked from moving away from the first operating member 1. This prevents the second operating member 2 from being separated downward from the first operating member 1 during use of the operating assembly. In another embodiment, a clamping structure can also be provided at the first stop surface and the second stop surface to ensure the axial position stability of the first operating member 1 and the second operating member 2, and to prevent the second operating member 2 from being separated downward from the first operating member 1 during use of the operating assembly.

[0046] In this embodiment, only a structure of the rollback driving portion 24 is exemplarily shown. In another embodiment, the rollback driving portion 24 and the rollback cooperating member 8 can also adopt other cooperating structures, such as that the inner wall of the rollback driving portion 24 is provided with a protrusion, the surface of the rollback cooperating member 8 is provided with a groove, the protrusion is embedded in the groove, or the rollback driving portion 24 and the rollback cooperating member 8 are connected through thread cooperation, etc., all of which are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0047] In summary, the present application provides an emergency rollback operating assembly which switches states through rotating operating members. In the storage state, the operating assembly can be stored to reduce the occupied space. In the unfolded state, the rollback driving portion 24 can drive the emergency rollback action of the electric anastomat. In addition, during operation, the first operating portion 12 and the second operating portion 22 are respectively located on the two sides of the rollback driving portion 24, so that the force is more balanced, stable and labor-saving, the applied force during rollback operation can be saved, the structure is simple, and the use is convenient.

[0048] The above description is further detailed in combination with specific preferred embodiments of the present application, and cannot be deemed to limit the specific implementation of the present application to these descriptions. For those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs, several simple deductions or replacements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and all of them shall be deemed to fall within the protection scope of the present application.
