This second knee 33 include be located at this first knee 31 this two body of rod 31A, 31B it Between body of rod 33A, and the tensioning device 33B, this body of rod 33A being arranged at this body of rod 33A Two ends are respectively provided with one the 3rd articulated section 331 and one the 4th articulated section 332, the 3rd articulated section 331 It is the second articulated section 312 pivot joint with this first knee 31, and the 3rd articulated section 331 is can be with Rotate relative to this second articulated section 312 centered by this second axis of imaginaries L2.Additionally, this second Knee 33 can define the 4th axis of imaginaries L4 by its 4th articulated section 332, and the 4th vacation Think that axis L4 is also through this ball shape rotary center C.
This second ratio wheel 34 is provided between this two body of rod 31A, 31B of this first knee 31, And by the 3rd articulated section 331 of this second knee 33, this second ratio wheel 34 is first curved with this Second articulated section 312 pivot joint of bar 31, and it is fixed on the 3rd articulated section 331 of this second knee 33, Thus can be with the 3rd articulated section 331 synchronous axial system.
These instrument shaft 35 two ends are respectively provided with one the 5th articulated section 351 and an installation portion 352, and the 5th Articulated section 351 is the 4th articulated section 332 pivot joint with this second knee 33, and the 5th articulated section 351 is to rotate relative to the 4th articulated section 332 centered by the 4th axis of imaginaries L4.This peace Dress portion 352 is in order to be connected with this apparatus.
3rd ratio wheel 36 is the 4th articulated section 332 pivot joint with this second knee 33, and is positioned at Between 4th articulated section 332 and the 5th articulated section 351 of this instrument shaft 35, and, the 3rd Ratio wheel 36 is affixed to the 5th articulated section 351, thus can Tong Bu with the 5th articulated section 351 turn Dynamic.
Respectively this flexible rope 37,38 can (but not limited to) be cable wire, and this first flexible rope 37 is to be set around The drive 264 of this second driving means 26, this first ratio wheel 32 and this second ratio wheel 34 And it being fixed on the tensioning device 33B of this second knee 33, this second flexible rope 38 is to be set around this Second ratio wheel 34 and the 3rd ratio are taken turns 36 and are fixed on the tensioning device of this first knee 31 31C.When this drive 264 is driven by this motor 262 and rotates, this first flexible rope 37 can be with Rotation and drive this first ratio wheel 32 rotation, and drive this second ratio wheel 34 and this is second curved Bar 33 rotates centered by this second axis of imaginaries L2, and meanwhile, this second flexible rope 38 can be with this Second ratio wheel 34 rotates and drives the 3rd ratio wheel 36 and this instrument shaft 35 with the 4th imagination Rotate centered by axis L4, and, the rotational angle of described ratio wheel 32,34,36 can be according to it External diameter ratio and have specific proportionate relationship.Therefore, utilize this second driver element 26 control this The rotational angle of one ratio wheel 32, can control this second knee 33 and the rotation of this instrument shaft 35 Angle.
It is noted that this two tensioning device 31C, 33B are to adjust with for user respectively Second flexible rope 38 and the tension force of the first flexible rope 37, this first knee 31 and this second knee 33 Also can be not provided with tensioning device 31C, 33B, and make flexible rope 37,38 be fixed on body of rod 33A, 31A。
In the present embodiment, this first knee 31 is that substantially length is equal with this second knee 33, The external diameter of this first ratio wheel 32 is equal with the external diameter of the 3rd ratio wheel 36, and is this second ratio The twice of the external diameter of example wheel 34, that is, the external diameter ratio of first, second and third ratio wheel is 2: 1: 2, as This one, under any circumstance, its 5th articulated section 351 all can be probably towards this for this instrument shaft 35 First articulated section 311 of the first knee 31 so that this installation portion 352 is directed away from this first articulated section The direction of 311, so can avoid this apparatus and this ball mechanism 30 or this driving means 20 phase Collision mutually, and simplify the calculating of the control program of this ball mechanism 30.But, provided by the present invention Spherical link manipulator arm be not limited to that there is aforesaid feature.
It is noted that of the present invention, " this first knee is the longest with this second knee Spend equal ", wherein the length of this first knee 31 of indication be defined as first and second axis of imaginaries L1, L2 position, 311,312, first and second articulated section imaginary sphere on distance, that is first, The length of the camber line that the central point of two articulated sections 311,312 is linked to be on the imaginary sphere at its place; Similarly, the length of this second knee 33 be defined as second, four axis of imaginaries L2, L4 the 3rd, Four position, 331,332, articulated sections imaginary sphere on distance, that is third and fourth articulated section 331, The length of the camber line that the central point of 332 is linked to be on the imaginary sphere at its place.Additionally, the present invention The external diameter of described first, second and third ratio wheel 32,34,36 be defined as respectively this ratio wheel 32, 34,36 by the radius of curvature of the outer peripheral face being wound around for flexible rope 37,38.
The existing mechanical arm compared to described in prior art, mechanical arm 10 provided by the present invention Not only can produce identical function, and this mechanical arm 10 because of knee negligible amounts small volume, It is applied in minimally invasive surgery system be that more existing mechanical arm is more beneficial for space configuration, and can concede Bigger space, for operator's action, even can allow the operator of left hander and right-handed person can be suitable The action of smooth ground.Additionally, this mechanical arm 10 makes the angle of rotation of each knee because of knee negligible amounts Spend more unrestricted, therefore can produce bigger operation interval.
Finally, it is necessary to again illustrate, the present invention takes off composed component disclosed in embodiment in front, only For illustrating, not for limiting the scope of this case, the replacement of other equivalence elements or change, also The right that should be this case is contained.
