现参照附图详细描述本公开的实施例,其中在若干视图的每个中,相同的附图标记指代相同或对应的元件。如本文所使用的,术语“临床医生”是指医生、护士或任何其他护理提供者,并且可以包括支持人员。贯穿本说明书,术语“近侧”是指装置或其部件的最靠近临床医生的部分,术语“远侧”是指装置或其部件的最远离临床医生的部分。
本公开总体涉及一种与机电手术系统和/或手动地驱动的手术系统一起使用的关节式运动组件。本公开的手术系统包括动力手持式机电器械形式的手术器械,动力手持式机电器械被构造成用于选择性地附接到多个不同的末端执行器,所述末端执行器各自被配置成由动力手持式机电手术器械致动和操纵。每个接合器组件包括关节式运动组件和发射组件,发射组件可操作地联接到动力手持式机电手术器械以实现对其致动和/或操纵。
关节式运动组件包括在接合器组件内互连万向节和关节式运动机构的一个或多个关节式运动线缆。万向节与至少一个关节式运动关节可操作地连接,使得一个或多个关节式运动线缆的轴向移动使万向节旋转以使发射组件响应于万向节的旋转而弯曲,以实现末端执行器绕接合器组件的远侧部的关节式运动。至少一个万向关节的近侧万向关节朝中央位置偏置。通过偏置近侧万向关节,关节式运动组件的关节式运行更可预测。具体地,当存在近侧万向关节和远侧万向关节这两个万向关节时,近侧万向关节的偏置在远侧万向关节达到最大关节式运动角度时被克服,使得远侧万向关节在近侧万向关节旋转之前充分地关节式运动,如下详述。
现参照图1,根据本公开的机电手术系统10包括动力手柄100、接合器组件200和装载单元300(例如,末端执行器、多次或单次使用装载单元)。动力手柄100被构造成用于与接合器组件200选择性地连接,进而,接合器组件200被构造成用于与装载单元300选择性地连接。动力手柄100和接合器组件200可以一起协作来致动装载单元300。
动力手柄100包括驱动机构(未示出),该驱动机构被构造成驱动轴和/或齿轮部件以执行机电手术系统10的各种操作。特别地,驱动机构被构造成致动关节式运动组件400的线缆480(图3)以使装载单元300相对于接合器组件200关节式运动,如下详述。对于示例性动力手柄的详细描述,可以参考2015年6月11日提交的美国专利申请第14/736,712号。对于示例性接合器的详细描述,可以参考2015年4月10日提交的美国临时专利申请第62/145,794号。这些公开的每个的全部内容通过引用而并入本文。

柱塞430绕驱动轴250而位于引导壳体410和偏置弹簧420的远侧。柱塞430包括基部432和从基部432向远侧延伸的指形部434。基部432的尺寸设置成在引导壳体410的中央通道414内滑动,并且通过偏置弹簧420接合以向远侧推动柱塞430。柱塞430的每个指形部434在引导壳体410的相应一个引导槽412内滑动。引导槽412允许指形部434的纵向平移,同时防止柱塞430绕驱动轴250旋转。特别参照图5B,指形部434定位成在径向上超过轴承252,使得指形部434自由地滑过轴承252。
近侧关节440、远侧关节450和万向节460设置在关节壳体470内,关节壳体470包括近侧球体472和远侧球体474。关节壳体470由联接在一起的两个半壳形成,其中近侧球体472定位成覆盖近侧关节440,远侧球体474定位成覆盖远侧关节450和万向节460。驱动轴250的中央部分254接合近侧关节440,以引起近侧关节440的旋转。近侧关节440联接到远侧关节450以引起远侧关节450的旋转,远侧关节450的旋转响应于近侧关节440的旋转而使延伸穿过装载单元连接器208的驱动轴250的远侧部分256旋转。应理解,当关节式运动组件400以相对于纵向轴线A-A的多个角度中的任意角度关节式运动时,近侧关节440和远侧关节450允许驱动轴250的中央部分254的旋转以引起驱动轴250的远侧部分256的旋转。
特别参照图5B,关节壳体470的近侧球体472包括从近侧球体472的外表面延伸出的四个柱476。柱476与柱塞430的指形部434对齐,使得每个指形部434接合相应的一个柱476以将关节壳体470和近侧关节440朝中央位置偏置。在中央位置,柱塞430的每个指形部434与相应的一个柱476接合,使得近侧关节440与纵向轴线A-A对齐。
特别参照图5A,关节式运动线缆480从接合器组件200的近侧部202(图2)延伸到万向节460,以引起万向节460相对于纵向轴线A-A的旋转。具体地,每个关节式运动线缆480的远端482穿过关节壳体470的远侧球体474中的相应的开口478,并且被接收到限定在万向节460中的相应的线缆槽462内。随着一个或多个关节式运动线缆480张紧,张紧的关节式运动线缆480相对于纵向轴线A-A来旋转万向节460,使得近侧关节440和远侧关节450关节式运动,如下所详述。
参照图5A至图7B,根据本公开描述了关节式运动组件400的关节式运动。首先参照图5A和图5B,偏置弹簧420推动柱塞430的每个指形部434来接合关节壳体470的相应的一个柱476,以使关节壳体470定心中央位置,从而使近侧关节440定心在中央位置。另外,每个关节式运动线缆480彼此大致均等地张紧,使得万向节460定心,从而使远侧关节450定心,使得关节式运动组件400处于对齐的构型。在对齐的构型中,驱动轴250的中央部分254和远侧部分256与纵向轴线A-A大致对齐。
为了使关节式运动组件400相对于纵向轴线A-A关节式运动,一个或多个关节式运动线缆480上的张力增大和/或一个或多个其它关节式运动线缆480上的张力减小,以使万向节460相对于纵向轴线A-A旋转,如图6A和图6B所示。随着一个或多个关节式运动线缆480上的张力改变,万向节460在比其他关节式运动线缆480具有更大张力的一个或多个关节式运动线缆480的方向上旋转。随着万向节460被旋转,万向节460使关节式运动组件400旋转。具体地,远侧关节450响应于万向节460的旋转而随万向节460旋转直到远侧关节450达到如图6A所示的最大关节式运动角度或最大旋转角度。当远侧关节450的旋转小于其最大旋转角度时,柱塞430的指形部434与关节壳体470的柱476的接合防止了近侧关节440的旋转,如图6B所示。
特别参照图7A和图7B,当一个或多个关节式运动线缆480被张紧以使万向节旋转超过远侧关节450的最大旋转角度时,近侧关节440从中央位置旋转到关节式运动位置。具体地,当远侧关节450接近或达到其最大旋转角度时,万向节460的继续旋转引起关节壳体470的旋转,使得一个或多个柱476接合柱塞430的相应的指形部434而逆着偏置弹簧420的偏置向近侧平移柱塞430,以旋转近侧关节440,如图7B所示。关节壳体470继续旋转,从而近侧关节440继续旋转,直到万向节460旋转到期望位置或者近侧关节440达到最大关节式运动角度或最大旋转角度。近侧关节440和远侧关节450的最大旋转角度可以彼此相等(例如,30°)或者彼此不同(例如,近侧关节440的最大旋转角度可以大于或小于远侧关节450的最大旋转角度)。应理解,关节式运动组件400的最大关节式运动角度为近侧关节440的最大旋转角度和远侧关节450的最大旋转角度之和。
为了使关节式运动组件400返回到对齐的构型,从一个或多个关节式运动线缆480释放张力和/或在一个或多个关节式运动线缆480上增大张力,使得每个关节式运动线缆480中的张力彼此大致相等。由于关节式运动线缆480中的张力在关节式运动线缆480之间均衡,偏置弹簧420在远侧关节450旋转而远离其最大旋转角度之前向远侧推动指形部434而与柱476接触以使近侧关节440返回到中央位置。一旦近侧关节440处于中央位置,则远侧关节450朝向中央位置旋转直到万向节460返回到对齐的构型。
应理解,通过控制近侧关节440和远侧关节450的关节式运动的顺序(即,确保远侧关节450在近侧关节440经关节式运动之前而关节式运动到其最大关节式运动角度,并且使近侧关节440在远侧关节450经关节式运动而远离其最大关节式运动角度之前返回至其中央位置),关节式运动组件400的关节式运动可以是更可预测的。另外,近侧关节440朝中央位置的偏置可通过对线缆拉伸自动地调节而提供更稳定和刚性的关节式运动关节,这减少了关节式运动关节中的游隙(backlash)。
尽管已经在附图中示出了本公开的若干实施例,但是并不旨在将本公开限制于此,而是旨在允许本公开的范围如同本领域允许的范围一样宽,并且对本说明书也这样理解。还可以在所附权利要求的范围内想到上述实施例的任意组合。因此,上述描述不应被解释为限制,而仅仅是作为特定实施例的示例。本领域技术人员会想到在所附权利要求的范围内的其它变型例。
