Background technology
Along with the development of medical skill, micro-wound surgical operation is born and promptly promotes and come.It is meant that by advanced person's operating theater instruments and equipment the doctor utilizes elongated operation tool to be insinuated into the operation that undergos surgery in the body by the body surface miniature incision.It is compared with traditional open surgery has advantages such as operative incision is little, amount of bleeding is few, scar after the operation is little, recovery time is short, and this misery that makes patient suffer significantly reduces, and the risk of bearing in the operation process is minimized; Therefore minimally invasive surgery is widely used in clinical operation.Yet when Minimally Invasive Surgery had brought many interests for patient, but the operation to the doctor had brought a series of difficulties, as: motility reduces greatly; Direction of operating is opposite with desired direction, inaccurate coordination; Can not finish complicated surgical action such as stitching knotting thereby instrument front end degree of freedom is few; Can only obtain surgical scene information by the two dimensional image on the monitor, lack the sensation on the depth direction; Lack force feeling etc.Complexity and chronicity that these problems cause the doctor to train, this has limited Minimally Invasive Surgery such as the utilization in a series of complicated operations such as operation on heart, urology procedure.
Micro-wound operation robot in conjunction with industrial robot technology and Minimally Invasive Surgical Technology under such background arises, and he is meant and replaces the doctor to grasp the robot system that operation tool is finished the Minimally Invasive Surgery operation.In operation, thereby the doctor finishes operation technique indirectly by the surgical robot system that control device operation, control are equipped with operation tool.Micro-wound operation robot with doctor's surgical experience and robot manipulation's highly sensitive, accurate positioning, stable, motility is high, organically combine, overcome the most of problem that exists in the Minimally Invasive Surgery operation, as: the instrument motility, problems such as operation comfort, and have the potentiality that progressively solve other problems.The comfort level of micro-wound operation robot operation raising operation technique has shortened the time that the doctor trains, and operation tool can be competent at the operation technique in complexity more flexibly.Just because of these advantages and progress, the utilization of micro-wound operation robot is the new revolution of surgical operation by rhythm.

Below schematically the present invention and embodiment thereof are described, this description does not have restricted, and shown in the accompanying drawing is one of embodiments of the present invention also, and practical structure is not limited thereto.So; if those skilled in the relevant art are enlightened by it; do not breaking away under the steel wire rope drive system situation of the invention; adopt other specific constructive form; silk fixed form and silk fixed form of the present invention is used for a transmission machinery people, operating theater instruments association area all should belong to protection scope of the present invention.
The following describes the action implementation process of minimally invasive surgery silk of the present invention transmission, four-degree-of-freedom operation tool.
1. four-degree-of-freedom motion
Operation tool have four degree of freedom with the position among a small circle of the end effector of finishing the operation tool end adjust, attitude adjustment and folding operation.Above-mentioned degree of freedom is respectively: instrument rotation degree of freedom R4; End-of-arm tooling wrist pitching degree of freedom R5; End-of-arm tooling front end deflection degree of freedom R6; End-of-arm tooling folding degree of freedom C7.
Instrument rotation degree of freedom R4 rotation steel wire rope 2-14 one end is wound on the instrument connecting rod 4, the other end is wound on the motor shaft 2-62, thereby whole rotation steel wire rope is formed a closed loop, the motion of motor rotation drive rotation steel wire rope tractive drives instrument connecting rod 4 then and rotates with respect to tool's power interface section 3 with the tool tip 2 that is fixed thereon, and finishes instrument rotation degree of freedom R4;
Wrist pitching degree of freedom R5 wrist steel wire rope 2-12 one end and body driving wheel 2-8-1 are fixed together, the steel wire rope other end is wound on the motor shaft, thereby whole steel wire rope is formed a closed loop, the motion of motor rotation drive steel wire rope tractive drives driving wheel then and partly centers on rear portion pivot pin 2-4 rotation with the tool body of fixing on it, finishes wrist pitching degree of freedom R5;
Instrument front end two caliper 2-11 adopt the drive system of identical and symmetrical installation, grab front end steel wire rope 2-13 one end and caliper driving wheel 2-8-1 is fixed together for the shackle line of one of them caliper, the front end steel wire rope other end finally is wound on motor shaft 2-60 or the 2-61 through centre, rear portion drive 2-7, the 2-6 of drive system, thereby whole steel wire rope is formed a closed loop, the motion of motor rotation drive steel wire rope tractive drives driving wheel then and partly centers on anterior pivot pin 2-5 rotation with the tool body of fixing on it, finishes a caliper degree of freedom and controls.Two instrument caliper 2-11 rotate in the same way provides the front end of end-of-arm tooling deflection degree of freedom R6, and two caliper 2-11 backward rotation provide the folding degree of freedom C7 of end-of-arm tooling.
2. instrument caliper silk drive system
The transmission of instrument caliper silk transmission adopted closed loop steel wire rope, closed loop steel wire rope drive characteristic require transmission steel wire total length constant.Identical and the symmetrical installation of the silk drive system structure of two instrument calipers.Individual tool caliper steel wire rope is respectively from the outer both sides axis of the caliper driving wheel layout that begins to extend back, the solid silk point of the driving wheel of single caliper drive system 2-15 is divided into two parts up and down with front end steel wire rope 2-13, top front end steel wire rope passes through the rear portion drive through a break-in, by the rear portion drive, promptly instrument caliper front end steel wire rope passes through from the left side and the right side of rear portion driving wheel 2-6 train respectively lower part front end steel wire rope through twice break-in.As shown in figure 13, when wrist pitching degree of freedom R5 moves: the top steel wire rope that is wound on the drive 2-6 of rear portion has increased the 2-18 section; The lower part steel wire rope that is wound on the drive 2-6 of rear portion has shortened the 2-19 section, and the 2-18 section equates that with the arc length of 2-19 section both cancel out each other, and this caliper steel wire rope closed loop transmission total length remains unchanged when being wrist pitching degree of freedom R5 motion.Thereby guaranteed in the motor process that the transmission steel wire is not elongated and shortens, guaranteed drive system reliable with drive caliper accurately.
The front end steel wire rope is respectively from the outer both sides axis of the caliper driving wheel layout that begins to extend back, in the decision design process by drive size in the middle of adjusting with the size of drive in the middle of guaranteeing just in time with front end steel wire ropes that two symmetries are installed between distance equate that thereby two parts steel wire rope that assurance caliper driving wheel 2-8-1 draws is parallel to main body axis 2-17, promptly perpendicular to caliper driving wheel 2-8-1 axis, therefore in the steel wire rope traction process under the situation of load, driving wheel does not produce component vertically, not influenced by additional axial force, the non-multi-turn of driving wheel is twined and has been guaranteed not to be subjected to the α angle to influence, more than two aspects guarantee a silk drive system stressing conditions optimum, it is stressed to help reducing a drive system friction.
Also can be by adjusting the radius of described caliper driving wheel and middle drive among the design, thus the steel wire rope that described front end steel wire rope leads to the part of drive in the middle of described first or second at the caliper driving wheel is not parallel to the axis of described tool body.When but steel wire rope is not parallel to main body axis, in transmission process, can produces, thereby increase gearing friction, worsen front end caliper stressing conditions as United States Patent (USP) 6394998, the 6969385 similar generations axial force extra to the front end caliper.
3. driving wheel silk fixed form
