图1至图6示出了可再利用或不可再利用的马达驱动外科切割和紧固器械10。在示出的实施方案中，器械10包括外壳12，该外壳包括被构造成能够被临床医生抓握、操纵和致动的柄部14。外壳12被构造用于可操作地附接到可互换轴组件200，该可互换轴组件上可操作地联接有外科端部执行器300，该外科端部执行器被构造成能够执行一种或多种手术任务或外科手术。继续参阅本具体实施方式，应当理解，本文公开的各种形式的可互换轴组件的各种独特且新颖的构造也可以有效地与机器人控制的外科系统结合使用。因此，术语“外壳”也可涵盖机器人系统的容纳或以其他方式可操作地支撑至少一个驱动系统的外壳或类似部分，所述至少一个驱动系统被构造成能够生成并施加可用于致动本文所公开的可互换轴组件及其相应的等同物的至少一种控制动作。术语“框架”可以是指手持式外科器械的一部分。术语“框架”还可表示机器人控制的外科器械的一部分和/或机器人系统的可用于可操作地控制外科器械的一部分。例如，本文所公开的可互换轴组件可与名称为“SURGICALSTAPLING INSTRUMENTS WITH ROTATABLE STAPLE DEPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS”的美国专利申请序列号13/118,241(现为美国专利申请公布US 2012/0298719)中公开的各种机器人系统、器械、部件和方法一起使用。名称为“SURGICAL STAPLING INSTRUMENTS WITHROTATABLE STAPLE DEPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS”的美国专利申请序列号13/118,241(现为美国专利申请公布US 2012/0298719)全文以引用方式并入本文。
图1至图3中所示的外壳12结合包括端部执行器300的可互换轴组件200示出，所述端部执行器包括被构造成能够可操作地支撑其中的外科钉仓304的外科切割和紧固装置。外壳12可被构造用于结合可互换轴组件使用，这些可互换轴组件包括适于支撑不同尺寸和类型的钉仓的端部执行器，并具有不同的轴长度、尺寸和类型等。此外，外壳12也可有效地与多种其他可互换轴组件一起使用，所述其他可互换轴组件包括被构造成能够将其他运动和能量形式(诸如，射频(RF)能量、超声能量和/或运动)施加到适于结合各种外科应用和外科手术使用的端部执行器构造的那些组件。此外，端部执行器、轴组件、柄部、外科器械和/或外科器械系统可以利用任何合适的一个或多个紧固件以将组织紧固。例如，包括多个可移除地存储在其中的紧固件的紧固件仓能够可移除地插入和/或附接到轴组件的端部执行器。
图1示出了具有可操作地联接到其的可互换轴组件200的外科器械10。图2和图3示出可互换轴组件200附接到外壳12或柄部14。如图4所示，柄部14可以包括一对可互连柄部外壳段16和18，该对柄部外壳段可通过螺钉、按扣特征结构、粘合剂等互连。在所示构造中，柄部外壳段16,18配合以形成可被临床医生抓握和操纵的手枪式握把部19。如将在下文进一步详细地讨论，柄部14在其中可操作地支撑多个驱动系统，该多个驱动系统被构造成能够生成各种控制动作并将该控制动作施加到可操作地附接到其的可互换轴组件的对应部分。
现在参见图4，柄部14还可包括可操作地支撑多个驱动系统的框架20。例如，框架20能够可操作地支撑通常标示为30的“第一”或闭合驱动系统，该“第一”或闭合驱动系统可用于将闭合和打开动作施加到可操作地附接或联接到其的可互换轴组件200。在至少一种形式中，闭合驱动系统30可包括被框架20枢转地支撑的闭合触发器32形式的致动器。更具体地，如图4所示，闭合触发器32经由销33枢转地联接到外壳14。这种构造使闭合触发器32能够被临床医生操纵，使得当临床医生抓握柄部14的手枪式握把部19时，闭合触发器32可被其轻易地从起始或“未致动”位置枢转到“致动”位置，并且更具体地，枢转到完全压缩或完全致动位置。闭合触发器32可被弹簧或其他偏置结构(未示出)偏置到未致动位置。在各种形式中，闭合驱动系统30还包括可枢转地联接到闭合触发器32的闭合连杆组件34。如图4所示，闭合连杆组件34可包括由销35枢转地联接到闭合触发器32的第一闭合连杆36和第二闭合连杆38。第二闭合连杆38在本文中也可称为“附接构件”并且包括横向附接销37。
仍参见图4，可观察到，第一闭合连杆36可在其上具有锁定壁或锁定端39，该锁定壁或锁定端被构造成能够与枢转地联接到框架20的闭合释放组件60配合。在至少一种形式中，闭合释放组件60可包括具有在其上形成的朝远侧突起的锁定棘爪64的释放按钮组件62。释放按钮组件62可被释放弹簧(未示出)沿逆时针方向枢转。临床医生将闭合触发器32从其未致动位置朝向柄部14的手枪式握把部19按压时，第一闭合连杆36向上枢转至某个点，其中锁定爪64落入该点中以与第一闭合连杆36上的锁定壁39保持接合，从而阻止闭合触发器32返回未致动位置。参见图18。因此，闭合释放组件60用来将闭合触发器32锁定在完全致动位置。当临床医生期望将闭合触发器32解锁以允许其被偏置到未致动位置时，临床医生只需枢转闭合释放按钮组件62，使得锁定爪64运动成与第一闭合连杆36上的锁定壁39脱离接合。当锁定棘爪64已运动成与第一闭合连杆36脱离接合时，闭合触发器32可枢转回到未致动位置。也可采用其他闭合触发器锁定构造和释放构造。
除上述之外，图13至图15示出了处于未致动位置的闭合触发器32，该未致动位置与轴组件200的打开或未夹紧构型相关联，在该构型中，组织可定位在轴组件200的钳口之间。图16至图18示出了处于致动位置的闭合触发器32，该致动位置与轴组件200的闭合或夹持构型相关联，在该构型中，组织被夹持在轴组件200的钳口之间。读者在将图14与图17比较之后将会知道，当闭合触发器32从其未致动位置(图14)向其致动位置(图17)运动时，闭合释放按钮62在第一位置(图14)与第二位置(图17)之间枢转。闭合释放按钮62的旋转可称为向上旋转，然而，闭合释放按钮62的至少一部分朝向电路板100旋转。参见图4，闭合释放按钮62可包括从其延伸的臂61和安装到臂61的磁性元件63(诸如永磁体)。当闭合释放按钮62从其第一位置旋转到其第二位置时，磁性元件63可朝向电路板100运动。电路板100可包括被构造成能够检测磁性元件63的运动的至少一个传感器。在至少一个实施方案中，例如，霍尔效应传感器65可安装到电路板100的底部表面。霍尔效应传感器65可被构造成能够检测由磁性元件63的运动引起、环绕霍尔效应传感器65的磁场变化。霍尔效应传感器65可例如与微控制器1500(图19)进行信号通信，该微控制器可确定闭合释放按钮62是处于其第一位置、其第二位置，还是/或者第一位置与第二位置之间的任何位置，所述第一位置与闭合触发器32的未致动位置和端部执行器的打开构型相关联，所述第二位置与闭合触发器32的致动位置和端部执行器的闭合构型相关联。
在至少一种形式中，柄部14和框架20可以可操作地支撑在本文中被称为击发驱动系统80的另一个驱动系统，该驱动系统被构造成能够将击发动作施加到附接到其上的可互换轴组件的对应部分。击发驱动系统80在本文中也可称作“第二驱动系统”。击发驱动系统80可以采用位于柄部14的手枪式握把部19中的电动马达82。在各种形式中，马达82可以是直流有刷驱动马达，其具有大约例如25,000RPM的最大转速。在其他构造中，马达可包括无刷马达、无绳马达、同步马达、步进马达或任何其他合适的电动马达。马达82可由功率源90供电，在一种形式中，该功率源可包括可移除电源组92。如图4所示，例如，电源组92可包括近侧外壳部分94，该近侧外壳部分被构造用于附接到远侧外壳部分96。近侧外壳部分94和远侧外壳部分96被构造成能够在其中可操作地支撑多个电池98。电池98可各自包括例如锂离子(“LI”)电池或其他合适的电池。远侧外壳部分96被构造成用于以可移除方式可操作地附接到同样可操作地联接到马达82的控制电路板组件100。可使用可串联连接的多个电池98作为外科器械10的功率源。此外，功率源90可以是可更换的和/或可再充电的。
如上面相对于其他各种形式所概述，电动马达82可包括与齿轮减速器组件84可操作地交接的可旋转轴(未示出)，该齿轮减速器组件被安装成与纵向可动驱动构件120上的一组或一齿条的驱动齿122啮合接合。在使用中，功率源90所提供的电压极性可沿顺时针方向操作电动马达82，其中由电池施加给电动马达的电压极性可被反转，以便沿逆时针方向操作电动马达82。当电动马达82沿一个方向旋转时，驱动构件120将沿远侧方向“DD”被轴向地驱动。当马达82被沿相反的旋转方向驱动时，驱动构件120将沿近侧方向“PD”被轴向地驱动。柄部14可包括开关，该开关被构造成能够使由电源90施加到电动马达82的极性反转。与本文所述的其他形式一样，柄部14还可包括传感器，该传感器被构造成能够检测驱动构件120的位置和/或驱动构件120运动的方向。
马达82的致动可通过被可枢转地支撑在柄部14上的击发触发器130来控制。击发触发器130可在未致动位置和致动位置之间枢转。击发触发器130可被弹簧132或其他偏置构造偏置到未致动位置，使得当临床医生释放击发触发器130时，击发触发器可被弹簧132或偏置构造枢转到或以其他方式返回未致动位置。在至少一种形式中，击发触发器130可以定位在闭合触发器32“外侧”，如上文所讨论。在至少一种形式中，击发触发器安全按钮134可由销35枢转地安装到闭合触发器32。安全按钮134可定位在击发触发器130和闭合触发器32之间，并且具有从其突起的枢转臂136。参见图4。当闭合触发器32处于未致动位置时，安全按钮134被容纳在柄部14中，此时临床医生可能无法轻易地触及所述按钮并使其在防止对击发触发器130致动的安全位置与其中击发触发器130可被击发的击发位置之间运动。临床医生按压闭合触发器32时，安全按钮134和击发触发器130向下枢转，随后可被临床医生操纵。
如上文所讨论，柄部14可包括闭合触发器32和击发触发器130。参见图14至图18A，击发触发器130能够可枢转地安装到闭合触发器32。闭合触发器32可包括从其延伸的臂31，击发触发器130可围绕枢轴销33可枢转地安装到臂31。如上文所概述，当闭合触发器32从其未致动位置(图14)向其致动位置(图17)运动时，击发触发器130可向下下降。在安全按钮134已运动到其击发位置之后，主要参见图18A，可按压击发触发器130，以操作外科器械击发系统的马达。在各种情况下，柄部14可包括跟踪系统(诸如系统800)，该跟踪系统被构造成能够确定闭合触发器32的位置和/或击发触发器130的位置。主要参照图14、图17和图18A，跟踪系统800可包括磁性元件(诸如永磁体802)，该磁性元件安装到从击发触发器130延伸的臂801。跟踪系统800可包括一个或多个传感器，诸如第一霍尔效应传感器803和第二霍尔效应传感器804，这些传感器可被构造成能够跟踪磁体802的位置。读者在将图14与图17比较之后将会知道，当闭合触发器32从其未致动位置向其致动位置运动时，磁体802可在邻近第一霍尔效应传感器803的第一位置与邻近第二霍尔效应传感器804的第二位置之间运动。读者在将图17与图18A比较之后将进一步知道，当击发触发器130从未击发位置(图17)向击发位置(图18A)运动时，磁体802可相对于第二霍尔效应传感器804运动。传感器803和804可跟踪磁体802的运动，并且可与电路板100上的微控制器进行信号通信。微控制器可利用来自第一传感器803和/或第二传感器804的数据，确定磁体802沿预定义的路径的位置，并且微控制器可基于该位置，确定闭合触发器32是处于其未致动位置、其致动位置、还是其未致动位置和其致动位置之间的位置。相似地，微控制器可利用来自第一传感器803和/或第二传感器804的数据，确定磁体802沿预定义的路径的位置，并且微控制器可基于该位置，确定击发触发器130是处于其未击发位置、其完全击发位置、还是其未击发位置和其完全击发位置之间的位置。
如上所述，在至少一种形式中，可纵向运动的驱动构件120具有在其上形成的一齿条的齿122，以用于与齿轮减速器组件84的相应驱动齿轮86啮合接合。至少一种形式还包括可手动致动的“应急”组件140，该组件被构造成能够允许临床医生在马达82万一变成被停用时手动地缩回可纵向运动的驱动构件120。应急组件140可包括杠杆或应急柄部组件142，该杠杆或应急柄部组件被构造成能够被手动地枢转为与同样设置在驱动构件120中的齿124棘轮接合。因此，临床医生可使用应急柄部组件142手动地缩回驱动构件120，以使驱动构件120沿近侧方向“PD”做棘轮运动。美国专利申请公布US 2010/0089970公开了应急构造，以及还可与本文公开的各种器械一起使用的其他部件、构造和系统。名称为“POWEREDSURGICAL CUTTING AND STAPLING APPARATUS WITH MANUALLY RETRACTABLE FIRINGSYSTEM”的美国专利申请序列号12/249,117(现为美国专利申请公布2010/0089970)据此全文以引用方式并入本文。
现在转到图1和图7，可互换轴组件200包括外科端部执行器300，该外科端部执行器包括被构造成能够可操作地支撑其中的钉仓304的细长通道302。端部执行器300还可包括砧座306，该砧座相对于细长通道302可枢转地支撑。可互换轴组件200还可包括关节运动接头270和关节运动锁350(图8)，该关节运动锁可被构造成能够可释放地将端部执行器300相对于轴轴线SA-SA保持在期望的位置。有关端部执行器300、关节运动接头270和关节运动锁350的构造和操作的细节，在2013年3月14日提交的名称为“ARTICULATABLE SURGICALINSTRUMENT COMPRISING AN ARTICULATION LOCK”的美国专利申请序列号13/803,086中示出。2013年3月14日提交的名称为“ARTICULATABLE SURGICAL INSTRUMENT COMPRISING ANARTICULATION LOCK”的美国专利申请序列号13/803,086的完整公开内容据此以引用方式并入本文。如图7和图8所示，可互换轴组件200还可包括由喷嘴部分202和203构成的近侧外壳或喷嘴201。可互换轴组件200还可包括闭合管260，该闭合管可用于闭合和/或打开端部执行器300的砧座306。现在主要参见图8和图9，轴组件200可包括脊210，该脊可被构造成能够可固定地支撑关节运动锁350的轴框架部分212。参见图8。脊210可被构造成能够：第一，可滑动地支撑其中的击发构件220；第二，可滑动地支撑围绕脊210延伸的闭合管260。脊210还被构造成能够可滑动地支撑近侧关节运动驱动器230。关节运动驱动器230具有远侧端部231，该远侧端部被构造成能够可操作地接合关节运动锁350。关节运动锁350与关节运动框架352交接，该关节运动框架能够可操作地接合端部执行器框架(未示出)上的驱动销(未示出)。如上所述，有关关节运动锁350和关节运动框架的操作的更多细节可见于美国专利申请序列号13/803,086。在各种情况下，脊210可包括可旋转地支撑在底座240中的近侧端部211。在一种构造中，例如，脊210的近侧端部211具有在其上形成的螺纹214，以便通过螺纹附接到被构造成能够被支撑在底座240内的脊轴承216。参见图7。这种构造有利于将脊210可旋转地附接到底座240，使得脊210可以相对于底座240选择性地围绕轴轴线SA-SA旋转。
主要参见图7，可互换轴组件200包括闭合梭动件250，该闭合梭动件以可相对于底座240轴向运动的方式可滑动地支撑在该底座内。如图3和图7所示，闭合梭动件250包括被构造成能够附接到附接销37的一对朝近侧突起的钩252，该附接销附接到第二闭合连杆38，如将在下文进一步详细地讨论。闭合管260的近侧端部261联接到闭合梭动件250以用于相对于其旋转。例如，将U形连接器263插入闭合管260的近侧端部261中的环形狭槽262中，使其保留在闭合梭动件250中的竖直狭槽253内。参见图7。这种构造用来将闭合管260附接到闭合梭动件250，以用于与闭合梭动件一起轴向行进，同时使闭合管260能够围绕轴轴线SA-SA相对于闭合梭动件250旋转。闭合弹簧268轴颈连接在闭合管260上，用来沿近侧方向“PD”偏置闭合管260，当轴组件可操作地联接到柄部14时，该闭合弹簧可用来将闭合触发器枢转到未致动位置。
在至少一种形式中，可互换轴组件200还可包括关节运动接头270。然而，其他可互换轴组件可能不能够进行关节运动。如图7所示，例如，关节运动接头270包括双枢轴闭合套管组件271。根据各种形式，双枢轴闭合套管组件271包括具有朝远侧突出的上柄脚273和下柄脚274的端部执行器闭合套管组件272。端部执行器闭合套管组件272包括马蹄形孔275和插片276，用于按2013年3月14日提交的名称为“ARTICULATABLE SURGICAL INSTRUMENTCOMPRISING AN ARTICULATION LOCK”的美国专利申请序列号13/803,086(该专利申请以引用方式并入本文)中所述的各种方式接合砧座306上的开口插片。如本文进一步详细地描述，当砧座306打开时，马蹄形孔275和插片276与砧座上的插片接合。上部双枢轴连杆277包括向上突出的远侧枢轴销和近侧枢轴销，这些枢轴销分别接合闭合管260上的朝近侧突出的上柄脚273中的上部远侧销孔以及朝远侧突出的上柄脚264中的上部近侧销孔。下部双枢轴连杆278包括向上突出的远侧枢轴销和近侧枢轴销，这些枢轴销分别接合朝近侧突出的下柄脚274中的下部远侧销孔以及朝远侧突出的下柄脚265中的下部近侧销孔。另外参见图8。
在使用中，闭合管260朝远侧(方向“DD”)平移，以(例如)响应于闭合触发器32的致动而闭合砧座306。通过朝远侧平移闭合管260，因而平移轴闭合套管组件272，致使轴闭合套管组件按前述参考文献美国专利申请序列号13/803,086中所述的方式冲击砧座360上的近侧表面，由此闭合砧座306。还如该参考文献所详述，通过朝近侧平移闭合管260和轴闭合套管组件272，致使插片276和马蹄形孔275接触并推压砧座插片以将砧座306抬起，由此打开砧座306。在砧座打开位置，轴闭合管260运动至其近侧位置。
如上所述，外科器械10还可包括其类型和构造在美国专利申请序列号13/803,086中进一步详细描述的关节运动锁350，该关节运动锁可被构造成能够操作以选择性地将端部执行器300锁定在适当的位置。当关节运动锁350处于其解锁状态时，这种构造使端部执行器300能够相对于轴闭合管260旋转或做关节运动。在这种解锁状态下，端部执行器300可抵靠例如围绕患者体内手术部位的软组织和/或骨定位和推压，以使端部执行器300相对于闭合管260做关节运动。端部执行器300也可在关节运动驱动器230作用下，相对于闭合管260做关节运动。
同样如上所述，可互换轴组件200还包括击发构件220，该击发构件被支撑以便在轴脊210内轴向行进。击发构件220包括被构造成能够附接到远侧切割部分或刀杆280的中间击发轴部分222。击发构件220在本文中也可称为“第二轴”和/或“第二轴组件”。如图8和图9所示，中间击发轴部分222可在其远侧端部中包括纵向狭槽223，该纵向狭槽可被构造成能够接收远侧刀杆280的近侧端部282上的插片284。纵向狭槽223和近侧端部282可被设定尺寸并被构造成能够允许两者间的相对运动，并且可包括滑动接头286。滑动接头286可允许击发驱动装置220的中间击发轴部分222运动，以在不运动或至少基本上不运动刀杆280的情况下，使端部执行器300做关节运动。一旦端部执行器300已被适当地取向，中间击发轴部分222就可朝远侧推进，直到纵向狭槽223的近侧侧壁接触到插片284，以便推进刀杆280并击发定位在通道302内的钉仓。如图8和图9中可进一步看到的那样，轴脊210在其中具有细长的开口或窗口213，以利于把中间击发轴部分222装配进轴框架210以及插入该轴框架中。一旦中间击发轴部分222已被插入轴框架中，顶部框架段215就可与轴框架212接合，以封闭其中的中间击发轴部分222与刀杆280。有关击发构件220的操作的进一步描述可见于美国专利申请序列号13/803,086。
除上述之外，轴组件200可包括离合器组件400，该离合器组件可被构造成能够选择性地和可释放地将关节运动驱动器230联接到击发构件220。在一种形式中，离合器组件400包括围绕击发构件220定位的锁定衬圈或锁定套管402，其中锁定套管402可在接合位置与脱离位置之间旋转，在所述接合位置，锁定套管402将关节运动驱动器360联接到击发构件220，在所述脱离位置，关节运动驱动器360没有可操作地联接到击发构件200。当锁定套管402处于其接合位置时，击发构件220的远侧运动可使关节运动驱动器360朝远侧运动，相应地，击发构件220的近侧运动可使关节运动驱动器230朝近侧运动。当锁定套管402处于其脱离位置时，击发构件220的运动不传递到关节运动驱动器230，因此，击发构件220可独立于关节运动驱动器230运动。在各种情况下，当击发构件220没有使关节运动驱动器230在近侧方向或远侧方向上运动时，关节运动驱动器230可被关节运动锁350保持就位。
主要参见图9，锁定套管402可包括圆柱形或至少基本上圆柱形的主体，该主体包括限定于其中、被构造成能够接收击发构件220的纵向孔403。锁定套管402可包括面向内的锁定突起404和面向外的锁定构件406，这两者沿直径相对。锁定突起404可被构造成能够与击发构件220选择性地接合。更具体地，锁定套管402处于其接合位置时，锁定突起404被定位在击发构件220中限定的驱动凹口224内，使得远侧推力和/或近侧拉力可从击发构件220传递到锁定套管402。当锁定套管402处于其接合位置时，第二锁定构件406被接收在关节运动驱动器230中限定的驱动凹口232内，使得施加到锁定套管402的远侧推力和/或近侧拉力可传递到关节运动驱动器230。实际上，当锁定套管402处于其接合位置时，击发构件220、锁定套管402和关节运动驱动器230将一起运动。另一方面，当锁定套管402处于其脱离位置时，锁定突起404可以不定位在击发构件220的驱动凹口224内，因此，远侧推力和/或近侧拉力可以不从击发构件220传递到锁定套管402。相应地，远侧推力和/或近侧拉力可以不传递到关节运动驱动器230。在这种情况下，击发构件220可相对于锁定套管402和近侧关节运动驱动器230朝近侧和/或朝远侧滑动。
如图8-12所示，轴组件200还包括可旋转地接收在闭合管260上的切换筒500。切换筒500包括中空轴段502，该中空轴段具有在其上形成的轴凸台504，以用于将向外突起的致动销410接收在其中。在各种情况下，致动销410延伸穿过狭槽267进入设置在锁定套管402中的纵向狭槽408，以在锁定套管402与关节运动驱动器230接合时，利于该锁定套管做轴向运动。旋转扭转弹簧420被构造成能够如图10所示接合切换筒500上的凸台504以及喷嘴外壳203的一部分，以将偏置力施加到切换筒500。参见图5和图6，切换筒500还可包括其中限定的至少部分周边的开口506，这些开口可被构造成能够接收从喷嘴半部202,203延伸的周边安装架204,205，并允许切换筒500与近侧喷嘴201之间相对旋转而不是相对平移。如这些图所示，安装架204和205还延伸穿过闭合管260中的开口266以安置在轴脊210中的凹陷部211中。然而，喷嘴201旋转到某个点(在该点处，安装架204,205到达它们各自的狭槽506在切换筒500中的末端)将导致切换筒500围绕轴轴线SA-SA旋转。切换筒500的旋转最终将引起致动销410旋转，并引起锁定套管402在其接合位置与脱离位置之间旋转。因此，喷嘴201本质上可用于按美国专利申请序列号13/803,086中进一步详细描述的各种方式，将关节运动驱动系统与击发驱动系统可操作地接合和脱离。
也如图8至图12所示，轴组件200可包括滑环组件600，例如，该滑环组件可被构造成能够将电力传导至端部执行器300和/或从该端部执行器传导电力，并且/或者将信号传送至端部执行器300和/或从该端部执行器接收信号。滑环组件600可包括近侧连接器凸缘604和远侧连接器凸缘601，该近侧连接器凸缘安装到从底座240延伸的底座凸缘242，该远侧连接器凸缘定位在轴外壳202,203中限定的狭槽内。近侧连接器凸缘604可包括第一面，并且远侧连接器凸缘601可包括第二面，其中第二面与第一面相邻定位，并能够相对于第一面运动。远侧连接器凸缘601可围绕轴轴线SA-SA相对于近侧连接器凸缘604旋转。近侧连接器凸缘604可包括限定在其第一面中的多个同心或至少基本上同心的导体602。连接器607可安装在连接器凸缘601的近侧侧面上，并可具有多个触点(未示出)，其中每个触点对应于导体602中的一个并与其电接触。这种构造在保持近侧连接器凸缘604与远侧连接器凸缘601之间电接触的同时，允许这两个凸缘之间相对旋转。例如，近侧连接器凸缘604可包括电连接器606，该电连接器可使导体602与安装到轴底座240的轴电路板610进行信号通信。在至少一种情况下，包括多个导体的线束可在电连接器606与轴电路板610之间延伸。电连接器606可朝近侧延伸穿过限定在底盘安装凸缘242中的连接器开口243。参见图7。2013年3月13日提交的名称为“STAPLE CARTRIDGE TISSUE THICKNESS SENSOR SYSTEM”的美国专利申请序列号13/800,067全文以引用方式并入本文。2013年3月13日提交的名称为“STAPLECARTRIDGE TISSUE THICKNESS SENSOR SYSTEM”的美国专利申请序列号13/800,025全文以引用方式并入本文。有关滑环组件600的更多细节可见于美国专利申请序列号13/803,086。
如上文所讨论，轴组件200可包括可固定地安装到柄部14的近侧部分和可围绕纵向轴线旋转的远侧部分。如上文所讨论，可旋转的远侧轴部分可围绕滑环组件600相对于近侧部分旋转。滑环组件600的远侧连接器凸缘601可定位在可旋转的远侧轴部分内。而且，除上述之外，切换筒500也可定位在可旋转的远侧轴部分内。当可旋转的远侧轴部分旋转时，远侧连接器凸缘601和切换筒500可彼此同步地旋转。另外，切换筒500可相对于远侧连接器凸缘601在第一位置与第二位置之间旋转。当切换筒500处于其第一位置时，关节运动驱动系统可与击发驱动系统可操作地脱离接合，因此，击发驱动系统的操作可不使轴组件200的端部执行器300进行关节运动。当切换筒500处于其第二位置时，关节运动驱动系统能够可操作地与击发驱动系统接合，因此，击发驱动系统的操作可以使轴组件200的端部执行器300做关节运动。当切换筒500在其第一位置和其第二位置之间运动时，切换筒500相对于远侧连接器凸缘601运动。在各种情况下，轴组件200可包括被构造成能够检测切换筒500的位置的至少一个传感器。现在转到图11和图12，远侧连接器凸缘601可包括例如霍尔效应传感器605，切换筒500可包括例如磁性元件，诸如永磁体505。霍尔效应传感器605可被构造成能够检测永磁体505的位置。当切换筒500在其第一位置和其第二位置之间旋转时，永磁体505可相对霍尔效应传感器605运动。在各种情况下，霍尔效应传感器605可检测当永磁体505运动时产生的磁场变化。霍尔效应传感器605可与例如轴电路板610和/或柄部电路板100进行信号通信。跟据来自霍尔效应传感器605的信号，轴电路板610和/或柄部电路板100上的微控制器可确定关节运动驱动系统是与击发驱动系统接合还是脱离。
再次参见图3和图7，底座240包括在其上形成的至少一个、优选地两个锥形附接部分244，该锥形附接部分适于被接收在对应的燕尾形狭槽702内，所述燕尾形狭槽在框架20的远侧附接凸缘部分700内形成。每个燕尾形狭槽702可以是锥形，或换句话讲，可以略成V形，从而以坐置方式将附接部分244接收在其中。如图3和图7中可进一步看到的那样，轴附接耳状物226在中间击发轴222的近侧端部上形成。如将在下文进一步详细地讨论，当可互换轴组件200联接到柄部14时，轴附接耳状物226被接收在纵向驱动构件120的远侧端部125中形成的击发轴附接支架126中。参见图3和图6。
各种轴组件实施方案采用闩锁系统710以可移除地将轴组件200联接到外壳12，并且更具体地，联接到框架20。如图7所示，例如，在至少一种形式中，闩锁系统710包括可动地联接到底盘240的锁定构件或锁定轭712。在例示的实施方案中，例如，锁定轭712为U形，具有两个隔开并向下延伸的支脚714。支脚714各自具有在其上形成的枢轴耳状物716，这些枢轴耳状物适于被接收在底座240中形成的对应孔245中。这种构造有利于将锁定轭712枢转附接到底座240。锁定轭712可包括两个朝近侧突起的锁定耳状物714，这两个锁定耳状物被构造成能够与框架20的远侧附接凸缘700中对应的锁定棘爪或凹槽704可释放地接合。参见图3。在各种形式中，锁定轭712被弹簧或偏置构件(未示出)沿近侧方向偏置。锁定轭712的致动可通过可滑动地安装在闩锁致动器组件720上的闩锁按钮722来实现，该闩锁致动器组件安装到底盘240。闩锁按钮722可相对于锁定轭712沿近侧方向偏置。如将在下文进一步详细地讨论，锁定轭712可通过沿远侧方向偏置闩锁按钮而运动到解锁位置，这也使锁定轭712枢转成不再与框架20的远侧附接凸缘700保持接合。当锁定轭712与框架20的远侧附接凸缘700“保持接合”时，锁定耳状物716保持坐置在远侧附接凸缘700中对应的锁定棘爪或凹槽704内。
当采用包括适于切割和紧固组织的本文所述类型的端部执行器以及其他类型的端部执行器的可互换轴组件时，可能有利的是防止可互换轴组件在端部执行器致动期间不经意地从外壳脱离。例如，在使用中，临床医生可致动闭合触发器32以抓持目标组织并将其操纵至期望的位置。一旦目标组织以期望取向定位在端部执行器300内，临床医生就可完全致动闭合触发器32，以关闭砧座306并将目标组织夹持在合适位置供切割与缝合。在这种情况下，第一驱动系统30已被完全致动。在目标组织已被夹持在端部执行器300中之后，可能有利的是防止轴组件200不经意地从外壳12脱离。闩锁系统710的一种形式被构造成能够防止这种不经意的脱离。
如可在图7中最具体所见，锁定轭712包括至少一个且优选地两个锁定钩718，所述锁定钩能够接触在闭合梭动件250上形成的对应的锁定耳状物部分256。参见图13至图15，当闭合梭动件250处于未致动位置(即，第一驱动系统30未致动并且砧座306打开)时，锁定轭712可沿远侧方向枢转，以将可互换轴组件200从外壳12解锁。当处于该位置时，锁定钩718不接触闭合梭动件250上的锁定耳状物部分256。然而，当闭合梭动件250运动到致动位置(即，第一驱动系统30被致动并且砧座306处于闭合位置)时，锁定轭712被阻止枢转到解锁位置。参见图16-18。换句话讲，如果临床医生试图将锁定轭712枢转到解锁位置，或者例如，锁定轭712不经意地以原本可能引起其朝远侧枢转的方式受到碰撞或发生接触，则锁定轭712上的锁定钩718将接触闭合梭动件250上的锁定耳状物256，并且防止锁定轭712运动到解锁位置。
现在将参照图3描述可互换轴组件200与柄部14附接的操作。要开始联接过程，临床医生可将可互换轴组件200的底座240定位在框架20的远侧附接凸缘700上方或附近，使得底座240上形成的锥形附接部分244与框架20中的燕尾形狭槽702对齐。然后临床医生可沿垂直于轴轴线SA-SA的安装轴线IA运动轴组件200，以使附接部分244坐置成与对应的燕尾形接收狭槽702“可操作地接合”。这样做时，中间击发轴222上的轴附接耳状物226也将坐置在可纵向运动的驱动构件120中的支架126中，并且第二闭合连杆38上的销37的部分将坐置在闭合轭250中的对应钩252中。如本文所用，在具有两个部件的上下文中的术语“可操作地接合”是指所述两个部件彼此充分地接合，使得一旦向其施加致动动作，所述部件就可以执行其预期活动、功能和/或工序。
如上文所讨论，可互换轴组件200的至少五个系统能够可操作地与柄部14的至少五个对应系统联接。第一系统可包括框架系统，该框架系统将轴组件200的框架或脊与柄部14的框架20联接并/或对齐。第二系统可包括闭合驱动系统30，该闭合驱动系统可将柄部14的闭合触发器32与轴组件200的闭合管260和砧座306可操作地连接。如上文所概述，轴组件200的闭合管附接轭250可与第二闭合连杆38上的销37接合。第三系统可包括击发驱动系统80，该击发驱动系统可将柄部14的击发触发器130与轴组件200的中间击发轴222可操作地连接。
如上文所概述，轴附接耳状物226可与纵向驱动构件120的支架126可操作地连接。第四系统可包括电气系统，该电气系统能够：发送轴组件(诸如轴组件200)已与柄部14可操作地接合的信号到柄部14中的控制器(诸如微控制器)，并且/或者在轴组件200与柄部14之间传导功率和/或通信信号。例如，轴组件200可包括可操作地安装到轴电路板610的电连接器1410。电连接器1410被构造用于与柄部控制板100上的对应的电连接器1400配合接合。有关电路系统和控制系统的更多细节可见于美国专利申请序列号13/803,086，该专利申请的完整公开内容此前以引用方式并入本文。第五系统可由用于可释放地将轴组件200锁定到柄部14的闩锁系统组成。
再次参见图2和图3，柄部14可包括电连接器1400，该电连接器包括多个电触点。现在转到图19，电连接器1400可包括例如第一触点1401a、第二触点1401b、第三触点1401c、第四触点1401d、第五触点1401e和第六触点1401f。尽管所示的实施方案利用了六个触点，但设想了可利用多于六个触点或少于六个触点的其他实施方案。
如图19所示，第一触点1401a可与晶体管1408电连通，触点1401b-1401e可与微控制器1500电连通，并且第六触点1401f可与地电连通。在某些情况下，电触点1401b-1401e中的一个或多个可与微控制器1500的一个或多个输出通道电连通，并且在柄部1042处于加电状态时可通电，或具有施加到其的电压电位。在一些情况下，电触点1401b-1401e中的一个或多个可与微控制器1500的一个或多个输入通道电连通，并且当柄部14处于加电状态时，微控制器1500可被构造成能够检测电压电位何时被施加到此类电触点。当轴组件(诸如轴组件200)装配到柄部14时，电触点1401a-1401f可不彼此连通。然而，当轴组件未装配到柄部14时，电连接器1400的电触点1401a-1401f可暴露，并且在一些情况下，触点1401a-1401f中的一个或多个可意外地布置成彼此电连通。例如，当触点1401a-1401f中的一个或多个接触导电材料时，可出现此类情况。当发生这种情况时，例如，微控制器1500可接收错误的输入并且/或者轴组件200可接收错误的输出。为解决这个问题，在各种情况下，当轴组件(诸如轴组件200)未附接到柄部14时，柄部14可以不加电。
在其他情况下，柄部1042可在轴组件诸如轴组件200未附接到柄部1042时加电。在这种情况下，例如，微控制器1500可被构造成能够忽视施加到与微控制器1500电连通的触点(即，触点1401b-1401e)的输入或电压电位，直到轴组件附接到柄部14。虽然在这种情况下微控制器1500可被供电以操作柄部14的其他功能，但柄部14可处于掉电状态。在某种程度上，当施加到电触点1401b-1401e的电压电势可不影响柄部14的操作时，电连接器1400可处于掉电状态。读者将会知道，即使触点1401b-1401e可处于掉电状态，但未与微控制器1500电连通的电触点1401a和1401f可处于或可不处于掉电状态。例如，无论柄部14是处于加电还是掉电状态，第六触点4001f均可保持与地电连通。
此外，无论柄部14是处于加电还是掉电状态，晶体管1408和/或晶体管的任何其他合适结构(诸如晶体管1410)和/或开关可被构造成能够控制从柄部14内的电源1404(诸如电池90)例如到第一电触点1401a的功率供应。在各种情况下，例如，当轴组件200与柄部14接合时，轴组件200可被构造成能够改变晶体管1408的状态。在某些情况下，除下述之外，霍尔效应传感器1402可被构造成能够转换晶体管1410的状态，因此可转换晶体管1408的状态，最终将来自功率源1404的功率供应给第一触点1401a。这样，联接到连接器1400的功率电路和信号电路两者当轴组件未安装到柄部14时可被掉电，并且当轴组件安装到柄部14时可被加电。
在各种情况下，再次参见图19，柄部14可包括例如霍尔效应传感器1402，当轴组件联接到柄部14时，该霍尔效应传感器可被构造成能够检测位于该轴组件(诸如轴组件200)上的可检测元件，诸如磁性元件1407(图3)。霍尔效应传感器1402可由诸如电池之类的功率源1406供电，该功率源实际上可放大霍尔效应传感器1402的检测信号，并经由图19所示的电路与微控制器1500的输入通道通信。一旦微控制器1500接收到指示轴组件已至少部分地联接到柄部14、因而电触点1401a-1401f不再暴露的输入，微控制器1500就可进入其正常的或加电的操作状态。在此类工作状态中，微控制器1500将对从轴组件传输到一个或多个触点1401b-1401e的信号进行评估，和/或通过处于其正常使用状态的一个或多个触点1401b-1401e将信号传输到轴组件。在各种情况下，在霍尔效应传感器1402可检测到磁性元件1407之前，可能必须使轴组件200完全坐置。例如，虽然可利用霍尔效应传感器1402来检测轴组件200是否存在，但也可利用传感器和/或开关的任何合适的系统来检测轴组件是否已装配到柄部14。这样，除上述之外，联接到连接器1400的功率电路和信号电路两者当轴组件未安装到柄部14时可被掉电，并且当轴组件安装到柄部14时可被加电。
在各种实施方案中，例如，可采用任何数量的磁感测元件来检测轴组件是否已装配到柄部14。例如，用于磁场感测的技术包括探测线圈、磁通门、光泵、核旋、超导量子干涉仪(SQUID)、霍尔效应、各向异性磁电阻、巨磁电阻、磁性隧道结、巨磁阻抗、磁致伸缩/压电复合材料、磁敏二极管、磁敏晶体管、光纤、磁光，以及基于微机电系统的磁传感器等。
参见图19，微控制器1500通常可包括微处理器(“处理器”)和可操作地联接到该处理器的一个或多个存储器单元。处理器通过执行存储器中存储的指令码，可控制外科器械的各种部件，诸如马达、各种驱动系统和/或用户显示器。微控制器1500可使用集成的和/或分立的硬件元件、软件元件和/或硬件元件和软件元件两者的组合来实现。集成硬件元件的示例可包括处理器、微处理器、微控制器、集成电路、专用集成电路(ASIC)、可编程逻辑器件(PLD)、数字信号处理器(DSP)、现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)、逻辑门、寄存器、半导体器件、芯片、微芯片、芯片组、微控制器、片上系统(SoC)和/或封装系统(SIP)。分立硬件元件的示例可包括电路和/或电路元件，诸如逻辑门、场效应晶体管、双极型晶体管、电阻器、电容器、电感器和/或继电器。在某些情况下，例如，微控制器1500可包括混合电路，该混合电路在一个或多个基板上包括分立的和集成的电路元件或部件。
参见图19，微控制器1500可例如是可购自Texas Instruments的LM 4F230H5QR。在某些情况下，Texas Instruments LM4F230H5QR为ARM Cortex-M4F处理器芯，其包括：256KB的单循环闪存存储器或其他非易失性存储器(最多至40MHZ)的片上存储器、用于使性能改善超过40MHz的预取缓冲器、32KB的单循环串行随机访问存储器(SRAM)、装载有软件的内部只读存储器(ROM)、2KB电可擦编程只读存储器(EEPROM)、一个或多个脉宽调制(PWM)模块、一个或多个正交编码器输入(QEI)模拟、具有12个模拟输入通道的一个或多个12位模数转换器(ADC)，以及易得的其他特征。可以很方便地换用其他微控制器，来与本公开联合使用。因此，本公开不应限于这一上下文。
如上文所讨论，当轴组件200未装配到或未完全装配到柄部14时，柄部14和/或轴组件200可包括下述系统和结构：这些系统和结构被构造成能够防止或至少降低柄部电连接器1400的触点和/或轴电连接器1410的触点发生短路的可能性。参见图3，柄部电连接器1400可至少部分地陷入柄部框架20中限定的腔体1409内。电连接器1400的六个触点1401a-1401f可完全陷入腔体1409内。这种构造可降低物体意外地接触触点1401a-1401f中的一个或多个的可能性。相似地，轴电连接器1410可定位在轴底座240中限定的凹陷部内，这可降低物体意外地接触轴电连接器1410的触点1411a-1411f中的一个或多个的可能性。参照图3所示的具体实施方案，轴触点1411a-1411f可包括凸形触点。在至少一个实施方案中，例如，每个轴触点1411a-1411f可包括从其延伸的柔性突出部，该柔性突出部可被构造成能够接合对应的柄部触点1401a-1401f。柄部触点1401a-1401f可包括凹形触点。在至少一个实施方案中，每个柄部触点1401a-1401f可包括例如平坦表面，轴凸形触点1401a-1401f可抵靠该平坦表面擦过或滑过，并且维持平坦表面和轴凸形触点1401a-1401f之间的导电接合。在各种情况下，将轴组件200装配到柄部14的方向可平行于、或至少基本上平行于柄部触点1401a-1401f，使得在将轴组件200装配到柄部14时，轴触点1411a-1411f抵靠柄部触点1401a-1401f滑动。在各种替代实施方案中，柄部触点1401a-1401f可包括凸形触点，并且轴触点1411a-1411f可包括凹形触点。在某些替代实施方案中，柄部触点1401a-1401f和轴触点1411a-1411f可具有任何合适的触点布置方式。
在各种情况下，柄部14可包括被构造成能够至少部分地覆盖柄部电连接器1400的连接器防护件和/或被构造成能够至少部分地覆盖轴电连接器1410的连接器防护件。当轴组件未装配到、或只部分地装配到柄部时，连接器防护件可防止、或至少降低物体意外地接触电连接器的触点的可能性。连接器防护件可以是可动的。例如，连接器防护件可在防护位置与非防护位置之间运动，在防护位置，该连接器防护件至少部分地保护连接器，在非防护位置，该连接器防护件不保护连接器，或至少为连接器提供较少保护。在至少一个实施方案中，将轴组件装配到柄部时，连接器防护件的位置可被移置。例如，如果柄部包括柄部连接器防护件，则在将轴组件装配到柄部时，轴组件可接触并移置柄部连接器防护件。相似地，如果轴组件包括轴连接器防护件，则在将轴组件装配到柄部时，柄部可接触并移置轴连接器防护件。在各种情况下，例如，连接器防护件可包括门。在至少一种情况下，该门可包括倾斜表面，在门与柄部或轴接触时，该倾斜表面可有利于门沿确定方向的位移。在各种情况下，例如，连接器防护件可被平移和/或旋转。在某些情况下，连接器防护件可包括覆盖电连接器触点的至少一层膜。当将轴组件装配到柄部时，这层膜可能破裂。在至少一种情况下，连接器的凸形触点可先刺透这层膜，再与定位在这层膜下方的对应触点接合。
如上所述，外科器械可包括能够选择性地对电连接器(诸如电连接器1400)的触点进行加电或激活的系统。在各种情况下，触点可在未激活状况与激活状况之间转换。在某些情况下，触点可在监控状况、去激活状况与激活状况之间转换。例如，当轴组件尚未装配到柄部14时，微控制器1500例如可监控触点1401a-1401f，以确定触点1401a-1401f中的一个或多个是否可能已经短路。微控制器1500可被构造成能够将低电压电位施加到触点1401a-1401f中的每个，并评估在该触点中的每个处是否仅存在最小电阻。这种操作状态可包括监控状况。如果在某个触点处检测到的电阻很高，或超过了阈值电阻，则微控制器1500可去激活该触点、多于一个触点，或者全部触点。这种操作状态可包括去激活状况。如上文所讨论，如果轴组件装配到柄部14，并被微控制器1500检测到，则微控制器1500可提高施加到触点1401a-1401f的电压电位。这种操作状态可包括激活状况。
本文所公开的各种轴组件可采用传感器和各种其他部件，所述传感器和各种其他部件需要与外壳中的控制器电连通。这些轴组件通常被构造成能够相对于外壳旋转，因此必须在两个或更多个可相对彼此旋转的部件之间设置有利于这种电连通的连接件。当采用本文所公开类型的端部执行器时，连接器构造在本质上必须相对稳固，同时还必须略微紧凑，以装配到轴组件的连接器部分中。
参见图20，示出了端部执行器300的非限制性形式。如上所述，端部执行器300可包括砧座306和钉仓304。在该非限制性实施方案中，砧座306联接到细长通道198。例如，孔199可限定在细长通道198中，该孔可接收从砧座306延伸的销152并允许砧座306相对于细长通道198和钉仓304从打开位置枢转到闭合位置。此外，图20示出了被构造成能够纵向平移到端部执行器300内的击发杆172。击发杆172可由一个实心部分构成，或在各种实施例中，可包括层压材料，该层压材料包括例如一叠钢板。击发杆172的远侧突出端可附接到E型横梁178，该E型横梁可(除了其他以外)在砧座306处于闭合位置时有助于将砧座306与定位在细长通道198中的钉仓304间隔开。E型横梁178还可包括锋利切割刃182，当通过击发杆172向远侧推进E型横梁178时，切割刃182可用于切断组织。在操作中，E型横梁178还可致动或击发钉仓304。钉仓304可包括模塑的仓体194，该仓体保持多个钉191，所述多个钉安置在钉驱动器192上，所述钉驱动器位于分别向上打开的钉腔195中。楔形滑动件190通过E形梁178朝远侧驱动，从而在仓托盘196上滑动，该仓托盘将可替换钉仓304的各种部件保持在一起。楔形滑动件190使钉驱动器192向上进行凸轮运动，以将钉191挤出成与砧座306变形接触，同时E形梁178的切割表面182切断夹紧的组织。
除上述之外，E型横梁178可包括在击发期间接合砧座306的上部销180。E型横梁178还可包括中间销184和底脚186，其可接合仓体194、仓托盘196和细长通道198的各个部分。当钉仓304定位在细长通道198内时，限定在仓体194中的狭槽193可与限定在仓托盘196中的狭槽197以及限定在细长通道198中的狭槽189对齐。在使用中，E型横梁178可滑动穿过对齐的狭槽193,197和189，如图20所示，其中E型横梁178的底脚186可沿着狭槽189的长度接合沿着通道198的底面延伸的沟槽，中间销184可沿着纵向狭槽197的长度接合仓托盘196的顶部表面，并且上部销180可接合砧座306。在这种情况下，当击发杆172向远侧运动以从钉仓304击发钉和/或切入砧座306和钉仓304之间捕集的组织时，E型横梁178可分开或限制砧座306和钉仓304之间的相对运动。然后，击发杆172和E型横梁178可向近侧回缩，从而允许砧座306打开，以释放两个缝合和切割的组织部分(未示出)。

在一个实施方案中，安全处理器2004被构造成能够除了其他的安全操作以外实现看门狗功能。分段电路2000的安全处理器2004和主处理器2006进行信号通信。微处理器活心跳信号在输出端2096处提供。加速度段2002c包括加速度计2022，该加速度计被构造成能够监控外科器械10的运动。在各种实施方案中，加速度计2022可以是单轴、双轴或三轴加速度计。加速度计2022可用于测量适当的加速度，该加速度不一定是坐标加速度(速度改变的速率)。作为替代，加速度计观察到在加速度计2022的参照系静止时，与测试质量经受的重量现象相关联的加速度。例如，在地球的表面上静止的加速度计2022由于其重量将测量竖直向上的(重力)加速度g＝9.8m/s2。加速度计2022可测量的另一类加速度是重力加速度。在各种其他实施方案中，加速度计2022可包括单轴、双轴或三轴加速度计。此外，加速度段2002c可包括一个或多个惯性传感器，以检测和测量加速度、倾斜、冲击、振动、旋转和多自由度(DoF)。合适的惯性传感器可包括加速度计(单轴、双轴或三轴)、用于测量空间磁场(诸如地球磁场)的磁力计和/或用于测量角速度的陀螺仪。
在一个实施方案中，安全处理器2004被构造成能够针对一个或多个电路段2002c-2002h(诸如马达段2002g)实现看门狗功能。就这一点来说，安全处理器2004采用看门狗功能来检测主处理器2006的故障并从主处理器2006的故障中恢复。在正常操作期间，安全处理器2004监控主处理器2004的硬件故障或程序错误，并发起一种或多种纠正行动。纠正行动可包括将主处理器2006置于安全状态，并恢复正常的系统操作。在一个实施方案中，安全处理器2004至少联接到第一传感器。第一传感器测量外科器械10的第一性质。在一些实施方案中，安全处理器2004被构造成能够将外科器械10的所测量性质与预先确定的值进行比较。例如，在一个实施方案中，马达传感器2040a联接到安全处理器2004。马达传感器2040a向安全处理器2004提供马达的速度和位置信息。安全处理器2004监控马达传感器2040a并将值与最大速度和/或位置值进行比较，并且如果值高于预先确定的值，则阻止马达2048的操作。在一些实施方案中，预先确定的值基于马达2048的实时速度和/或位置计算、由与主处理器2006通信的第二马达传感器2040b提供的值计算，并且/或者从例如联接到安全处理器2004的存储器模块提供给安全处理器2004。
在一些实施方案中，第二传感器联接到主处理器2006。第二传感器被构造成能够测量第一物理性质。安全处理器2004和主处理器2006被构造成能够提供分别指示第一传感器的值和第二传感器的值的信号。当安全处理器2004或主处理器2006指示值超出可接受范围时，分段电路2000便阻止电路段2002c-2002h中至少一个(诸如马达段2002g)的操作。例如，在图21A-21B所示的实施方案中，安全处理器2004联接到第一马达位置传感器2040a，并且主处理器2006联接到第二马达位置传感器2040b。马达位置传感器2040a,2040b可包括任何合适的马达位置传感器，诸如，具有正弦和余弦输出的磁性角度旋转输入装置。马达位置传感器2040a,2040b向安全处理器2004和主处理器2006提供指示马达2048的位置的相应的信号。
当第一马达传感器2040a的值和第二马达传感器2040b的值处于预先确定的范围内时，安全处理器2004和主处理器2006生成激活信号。当主处理器2006或安全处理器2004检测到值超出预先确定的范围时，则终止激活信号，随即中断并/或阻止至少一个电路段2002c-2002h(诸如马达段2002g)的操作。例如，在一些实施方案中，来自主处理器2006的激活信号和来自安全处理器2004的激活信号耦合到与门。与门联接到马达功率开关2020。当来自安全处理器2004和主处理器2006这两者的激活信号都较高(指示马达传感器2040a,2040b的值在预先确定的范围内)时，与门便将马达功率开关2020保持在闭合或打开位置。当马达传感器2040a,2040b中任一者检测到值超出预先确定的范围时，则来自马达传感器2040a,2040b的激活信号被设定为低，并且与门的输出也被设定为低，从而断开马达功率开关2020。在一些实施方案中，第一传感器2040a的值与第二传感器2040b的值例如通过安全处理器2004和/或主处理器2006进行比较。当第一传感器的值与第二传感器的值不同时，安全处理器2004和/或主处理器2006便可阻止马达段2002g的操作。
在一些实施方案中，安全处理器2004接收指示第二传感器2040b的值的信号，并且将第二传感器的值与第一传感器的值进行比较。例如，在一个实施方案中，安全处理器2004直接联接到第一马达传感器2040a。第二马达传感器2040b联接到主处理器2006(该主处理器将第二马达传感器2040b的值提供给安全处理器2004)和/或直接联接到安全处理器2004。安全处理器2004将第一马达传感器2040的值与第二马达传感器2040b的值进行比较。当安全处理器2004检测到第一马达传感器2040a与第二马达传感器2040b之间存在失配时，安全处理器2004可例如通过切断到马达段2002g的功率来中断马达段2002g的操作。
在一些实施方案中，安全处理器2004和/或主处理器2006联接到被构造成能够测量外科器械的第一性质的第一传感器2040a和被构造成能够测量外科器械的第二性质的第二传感器2040b。第一性质和第二性质包括外科器械正常操作时的预先确定的关系。安全处理器2004监控第一性质和第二性质。当检测到第一性质的值和/或第二性质的值与预先确定的关系不一致时，则发生故障。发生故障时，安全处理器2004至少采取一种行动，诸如，阻止电路段中的至少一个的操作、执行预先确定的操作，和/或重置主处理器2006。例如，安全处理器2004在检测到故障时可断开马达功率开关2020，以切断到马达电路段2002g的功率。
在一个实施方案中，安全处理器2004被构造成能够执行独立的控制算法。在操作中，安全处理器2004监控分段电路2000并且被构造成能够独立地控制和/或覆写来自其他电路部件诸如主处理器2006的信号。安全处理器2004可执行预先编程的算法并且/或者在操作期间可基于外科器械10的一种或多种行动和/或位置进行联机更新或联机编程。例如，在一个实施方案中，每当新的轴和/或端部执行器联接到外科器械10时，便使用新的参数和/或安全算法对安全处理器2004进行重新编程。在一些实施方案中，安全处理器2004存储的一个或多个安全值由主处理器2006复制。执行双向错误检测，以确保处理器2004或2006存储的值和/或参数是正确的。
在一些实施方案中，安全处理器2004和主处理器2006实施冗余的安全检查。安全处理器2004和主处理器2006提供周期性信号，用于指示操作正常。例如，在操作期间，安全处理器2004可向主处理器2006指示安全处理器2004正在执行代码并且操作正常。主处理器2006同样可向安全处理器2004指示主处理器2006正在执行代码并且操作正常。在一些实施方案中，安全处理器2004和主处理器2006以预先确定的间隔通信。预先确定的间隔可以是常数，也可能可依据电路状态和/或外科器械10的操作而改变。
图22示出了功率组件2100的一个示例，该功率组件包括被构造成能够监控功率组件2100的使用循环计数的使用循环电路2102。功率组件2100可联接到外科器械2110。使用循环电路2102包括处理器2104和使用指示器2106。使用指示器2106被构造成能够向处理器2104提供信号，以指示电池组2100和/或联接到功率组件2100的外科器械2110的使用情况。“使用情况”可包括任何合适的动作、条件和/或参数，例如，改变外科器械2110的模块化部件、部署或击发联接到外科器械2110的一次性部件、从外科器械2110递送电外科能量、修复外科器械2110和/或功率组件2100、交换功率组件2100、为功率组件2100再充电，和/或超出外科器械2110和/或电池组2100的安全限制。
在一些情况下，使用循环或使用情况由一个或多个功率组件2100参数限定。例如，在一种情况下，当功率组件2100处于完全充电水平时，使用循环包括使用大于5％的可得自功率组件2100的总能量。在另一种情况下，使用循环包括超出预先确定的时间限值的从功率组件2100的连续能量消耗。例如，使用循环可对应于从功率组件2100连续和/或总能量消耗五分钟。在一些情况下，功率组件2100包括使用循环电路2102，该使用循环电路存在连续功率消耗，以将使用循环电路2102的一个或多个部件例如使用指示器2106和/或计数器2108保持在操作状态下。
处理器2104保持着使用循环计数。使用循环计数指示出由使用指示器2106检测到的功率组件2100和/或外科器械2110的使用次数。处理器2104可根据来自使用指示器2106的输入而增加和/或减少使用循环计数。使用循环计数用于控制功率组件2100和/或外科器械2110的一个或多个操作。例如，在一些情况下，当使用循环计数超出预先确定的使用限度时，停用功率组件2100。尽管本文所述情况是相对于增加使用循环计数使其超出预先确定的使用限度而论述的，但本领域中的那些技术人员将认识到，使用循环计数可开始于某个预先确定的量，并可由处理器2104减少。在这种情况下，当使用循环计数降至低于预先确定的使用限度时，处理器2104即启动和/或阻止功率组件2100的一个或多个操作。
使用循环计数由计数器2108保持。计数器2108包括任何合适的电路，例如，存储器模块、模拟计数器和/或被构造成能够保持使用循环计数的任何电路。在一些情况下，计数器2108与处理器2104一体地形成。在其他情况下，计数器2108包括单独的部件，例如固态存储器模块。在一些情况下，使用循环计数被提供给远程系统，例如中央数据库。使用循环计数由通信模块2112传输到远程系统。通信模块2112被构造成能够使用任何合适的通信媒介，例如，有线和/或无线通信。在一些情况下，通信模块2112被构造成能够在使用循环计数超出预先确定的使用限度时，接收来自远程系统的一个或多个指令，例如控制信号。
在一些情况下，使用指示器2106被构造成能够监控与联接到功率组件2100的外科器械2110一起使用的模块化部件的数目。模块化部件可包括例如模块化轴、模块化端部执行器、和/或任何其他模块化部件。在一些情况下，使用指示器2106监控一个或多个一次性部件的使用情况，例如，在联接到外科器械2110的端部执行器内插入和/或部署钉仓的情况。使用指示器2106包括一个或多个传感器，这些传感器用于检测外科器械2110的一个或多个模块化和/或一次性部件的交换。
在一些情况下，使用指示器2106被构造成能够监控在已安装功率组件2100时进行的单次患者外科手术。例如，当功率组件2100联接到外科器械2110时，使用指示器2106可被构造成能够监控外科器械2110的击发。击发可对应于钉仓的部署、电外科能量的施加和/或任何其他合适的外科事件。使用指示器2106可包括用于在已安装功率组件2100时测量击发次数的一个或多个电路。当进行单次患者手术时，使用指示器2106向处理器2104提供信号，然后处理器2104增加使用循环计数。
在一些情况下，使用指示器2106包括被构造成能够监控功率源2114的一个或多个参数(例如，自功率源2114消耗的电流)的电路。功率源2114的一个或多个参数对应于可由外科器械2110执行的一个或多个操作，例如，切割和缝合操作。使用指示器2106向处理器2104提供一个或多个参数，当这一个或多个参数指示出手术已进行时，该处理器增加使用循环计数。
在一些情况下，使用指示器2106包括被构造成能够在预先确定的时间段后增加使用循环计数的计时电路。预先确定的时间段对应于单次患者手术时间，即操作者执行手术(例如，切割和缝合手术)所需的时间。当功率组件2100联接到外科器械2110时，处理器2104轮询使用指示器2106，以确定单次患者手术时间是否已结束。若预先确定的时间段已经过去，处理器2104则增加使用循环计数。在增加使用循环计数之后，处理器2104重置用户指示器2106的计时电路。
在一些情况下，使用指示器2106包括与单次患者手术时间近似的时间常数。在一个实施方案中，使用循环电路2102包括电阻器-电容器(RC)计时电路2506。RC计时电路包括由电阻器-电容器对限定的时间常数。时间常数由电阻器和电容器的值限定。在一个实施方案中，使用循环电路2552包括可再充电电池和时钟。当功率组件2100安装在外科器械中时，可再充电电池由电源充电。可再充电电池包括足够的功率以使时钟运行至少单次患者手术时间。时钟可包括实时时钟、被构造成能够实现计时功能的处理器或任何其他合适的计时电路。
重新参见图2，在一些情况下，使用指示器2106包括传感器，该传感器被构造成能够监控功率组件2100所经受的一种或多种环境条件。例如，使用指示器2106可包括加速度计。加速度计被构造成能够监控功率组件2100的加速度。功率组件2100具有最大加速度耐受度。加速度超过预先确定的阈值表示例如功率组件2100已被放下。当使用指示器2106检测到加速度超过最大加速度耐受度时，处理器2104增加使用循环计数。在一些情况下，使用指示器2106包括水分传感器。水分传感器被构造成能够在功率组件2100已暴露于水分时进行指示。水分传感器可包括例如被构造成能够指示功率组件2100何时已完全浸入清洁流体中的浸没传感器、被构造成能够指示使用期间水分何时接触功率组件2100的水分传感器、和/或任何其他合适的水分传感器。
在一些情况下，使用指示器2106包括化学品接触传感器。化学品接触传感器被构造成能够在功率组件2100已经与有害和/或危险化学品接触时进行指示。例如，在消毒期间，可能使用了导致功率组件2100劣化的不适用的化学品。当使用指示器2106检测到不适用的化学品时，处理器2104增加使用循环计数。
在一些情况下，使用循环电路2102被构造成能够监控功率组件2100所历经的修复循环次数。修复循环可包括例如清洁循环、消毒循环、充电循环、常规和/或预防维修、和/或任何其他合适的修复循环。使用指示器2106被构造成能够检测修复循环。例如，使用指示器2106可包括水分传感器以检测清洁和/或消毒循环。在一些情况下，使用循环电路2102监控功率组件2100所历经的修复循环次数，并在修复循环次数超出预先确定的阈值之后，停用功率组件2100。

在一些情况下，使用循环计数对应于功率组件2100的消毒。使用指示器2106包括被构造成能够检测消毒循环的一个或多个参数(例如，温度参数、化学参数、水分参数和/或任何其他合适的参数)的传感器。当检测到消毒参数时，处理器2104增加使用循环计数。在预先确定的消毒次数之后，使用循环电路2102停用功率组件2100。在一些情况下，使用循环电路2102在消毒循环、电压传感器和/或任何合适的传感器检测再充电循环期间被重置。当检测到修复循环时，处理器2104增加使用循环计数。当检测到消毒循环时，停用使用循环电路2102。当功率组件2100联接到外科器械2110时，重新激活和/或重置使用循环电路2102。在一些情况下，使用指示器包括零功率指示器。零功率指示器在消毒循环期间改变状态，并当功率组件2100联接到外科器械2110时由处理器2104检查。当零功率指示器指示已经发生消毒循环时，处理器2104增加使用循环计数。
计数器2108保持着使用循环计数。在一些情况下，计数器2108包括非易失性存储器模块。每当检测到使用循环时，处理器2104便增加存储在非易失性存储器模块中的使用循环计数。存储器模块可由处理器2104和/或控制电路(例如，控制电路200)访问。当使用循环计数超出预先确定的阈值时，处理器2104停用功率组件2100。在一些情况下，使用循环计数由多个电路部件保持。例如，在一种情况下，计数器2108包括电阻器(或熔断器)组。在每次使用功率组件2100之后，电阻器(或熔断器)可被烧断成打开位置，从而改变电阻器组的电阻。功率组件2100和/或外科器械2110读取剩余的电阻值。当电阻器组的最后一个电阻器被烧坏时，电阻器组便具有预先确定的电阻(例如，对应于开式电路的无穷大电阻)，这表明功率组件2100已经达到其使用限度。在一些情况下，电阻器组的电阻用于推导出剩余的使用次数。
在一些情况下，当使用循环计数超出预先确定的使用限度时，使用循环电路2102便阻止功率组件2100和/或外科器械2110的进一步使用。在一种情况下，例如，利用与外科器械2110一体形成的屏幕将与功率组件2100相关的使用循环计数提供给操作者。外科器械2110向操作者提供使用循环计数已经超出功率组件2100的预先确定的限值的指示，并阻止外科器械2110的进一步操作。
在一些情况下，使用循环电路2102被构造成能够当达到预先确定的使用限度时在物理上防止其操作。例如，功率组件2100可包括护罩，该护罩被构造成能够在使用循环计数超出预先确定的使用限度时部署在功率组件2100的触点上。该护罩通过覆盖功率组件2100的电连接件阻止功率组件2100的再充电及使用。

在一些情况下，使用循环电路2102被构造成能够防止在达到预先确定的使用限度之后使用外科器械2110。在一些情况下，外科器械2110包括可视指示器，以便当已经达到和/或超过预先确定的使用限度时给出指示。例如，标记(诸如红色标记)可从外科器械2110(诸如从柄部)弹出，从而为操作者提供外科器械2110已超出预先确定的使用限度的视觉指示。又如，使用循环电路2102可联接到与外科器械2110一体地形成的显示器。使用循环电路2102显示出指示已经超出预先确定的使用限度的信息。外科器械2110可以向操作者提供已经超出预先确定的使用限度的听觉指示。例如，在一种情况下，当超出预先确定的使用限度时，外科器械2110发出可以听见的音调，然后将功率组件2100从外科器械2110移除。可以听见的音调指示出外科器械2110的最后一次使用，并指示应该丢弃或修复外科器械2110。
在一些情况下，使用循环电路2102被构造成能够将外科器械2110的使用循环计数传输到远程位置，例如，中央数据库。使用循环电路2102包括被构造成能够将使用循环计数传输到远程位置的通信模块2112。通信模块2112可利用任何合适的通信系统，例如有线和/或无线通信系统。远程位置可包括被构造成能够保持使用信息的中央数据库。在一些情况下，当功率组件2100联接到外科器械2110时，功率组件2100记录外科器械2110的序列号。例如，当功率组件2100联接到充电器时，该序列号被传输到中央数据库。在一些情况下，中央数据库保持着对应于外科器械2110的每一次使用的计数。例如，每次使用外科器械2110时，与外科器械2110相关联的条形码便可被扫描。当使用计数超过预先确定的使用限度时，中央数据库向外科器械2110提供指示应该丢弃外科器械2110的信号。
外科器械2110可被构造成能够当使用循环计数超出预先确定的使用限度时锁定和/或阻止操作外科器械2110。在一些情况下，外科器械2110包括一次性仪器，并且在使用循环计数超出预先确定的使用限度之后被丢弃。在其他情况下，外科器械2110包括可重复使用的外科器械，该外科器械可在使用循环计数超出预先确定的使用限度之后被修复。在达到预先确定的使用限度之后，外科器械2110引发可逆闭锁。技术人员例如利用被构造成能够重置使用循环电路2102的专业技术键来修复外科器械2110并释放闭锁。
在一些实施方案中，分段电路2000被构造成能够顺序地启动。先由每个电路段2002a-2002g执行错误检查，再对顺序的下一个电路段2002a-2002g通电。图23示出了用于对分段电路2270，例如分段电路2000顺序地通电的过程的一个实施方案。当电池2008联接到分段电路2000时，安全处理器2004通电2272。安全处理器2004执行错误自检2274。当检测到错误时2276a，安全处理器停止对分段电路2000供电并生成错误代码2278a。当未检测到错误时2276b，安全处理器2004开始对主处理器2006加电2278b。主处理器2006执行错误自检。当未检测到错误时，主处理器2006开始对剩余的电路段中的每个顺序地加电2278b。主处理器2006对每个电路段进行供电及错误检查。当未检测到错误时，对下一个电路段通电2278b。当检测到错误时，安全处理器2004和/或主处理器停止对电流段通电，并生成错误2278a。继续顺序地启动，直到电路段2002a-2002g已全部通电为止。在一些实施方案中，分段电路2000在相似的顺序加电过程11250之后从睡眠模式进行转变。

在一些实施方案中，不需要磁体3660的衰减以用于钉仓的平台高度。图53B示出了端部执行器3650的一个实施方案，该端部执行器包括联接到第二钳口构件3654的第二钉仓3656b。第二钉仓3656b包括匹配磁体3660和霍尔效应传感器3658的校正的平台高度，并且因此不需要衰减。如图53B所示，第二钉仓3656b包括腔体3666以取代第一钉仓3656a的磁衰减器3662。在一些实施方案中，根据仓平台的高度提供较大的和/或较小的衰减构件。可优化衰减构件3662形状的设计以在由霍尔效应传感器3658生成的响应信号中产生特征，所述特征允许区分一个或多个另外的仓特性。

例如，在图56所示的实施方案中，方法3700被构造成能够利用斜率计算来确定组织的稳定。处理器计算3708得自传感器(诸如霍尔效应传感器)的输入的斜率S。可通过例如方程S＝((V_1-V_2))/((T_1-T_2))计算3708斜率。处理器将所计算的斜率与预先确定的值(例如，0.005伏/秒)进行比较3710。如果所计算的斜率的值大于预先确定的值，则处理器将计数C重置3712为零。如果所计算的斜率小于或等于预先确定的值，则处理器递增3714计数C的值。将计数C与预先确定的阈值(例如，3)进行比较3716。如果计数C的值大于或等于预先确定的阈值，则处理器向用户指示3718组织节段已稳定。如果计数C的值小于预先确定的阈值，则处理器继续监控传感器3658。在各种实施方案中，可监控传感器输入的斜率、斜率变化、和/或输入信号的任何其他合适变化。
在一些实施方案中，端部执行器(图52、图53A、和图53B中所示的端部执行器3600,3650)可包括能够部署于其中的切割构件。切割构件可包括例如I形梁，该I形梁被构造成能够使切割定位在砧座3602与钉仓3608之间的组织节段、和从钉仓3608部署钉同时发生。在一些实施方案中，I形梁可包括仅切割构件和/或可仅部署一个或多个钉。击发期间的组织流动可影响钉的适当成形。例如，在I形梁部署期间，组织中的流体可导致组织的厚度临时地增加，由此导致钉的不适当部署。
图57为逻辑图，其示出了用于控制端部执行器以改善部署期间的适当钉成形的方法3730的一个实施方案。控制方法3730包括产生3732指示端部执行器3650内的组织节段的厚度的传感器测量结果，例如，由霍尔效应传感器产生的霍尔效应电压。通过模数转换器将传感器测量结果转换3734成数字信号。校正3736数字信号。可通过例如处理器和/或专用校正电流来执行校正3736。基于一个或多个校正曲线输入来校正3736数字信号。将校正的数字信号通过例如嵌入外科器械10中的显示器2026显示3738给操作者。可将校正的信号显示3738为抓持在砧座3652与钉仓3656之间的组织节段的厚度测量结果和/或无单位范围。
在一些实施方案中，使用所产生的3732霍尔效应电压来控制I形梁。例如，在例示的实施方案中，将霍尔效应电压提供给处理器(例如，主处理器2006)，该处理器被构造成能够控制端部执行器内的I形梁的部署。处理器接收霍尔效应电压并且计算预先确定的时间段内的电压变化率。处理器将所计算的变化率与预先确定的值x1进行比较3740。如果所计算的变化率大于预先确定的值x1，则处理器减慢3742I形梁的速度。可通过例如将可变速度减小预先确定的单位来降低速度。如果所计算的电压变化率小于或等于预先确定的值x1，则处理器保持3744I形梁的当前速度。
在一些实施方案中，处理器可临时地降低I形梁的速度以补偿例如较厚的组织、不均匀的负载、和/或任何其他组织特征。例如，在一个实施方案中，处理器被构造成能够监控3740霍尔效应传感器的电压变化率。如果由处理器监控的变化率3740超过第一预先确定的值x1，则处理器减慢或停止I形梁的部署，直到变化率小于第二预先确定的值x2。当变化率小于第二预先确定的值x2时，处理器可使I形梁返回到正常速度。在一些实施方案中，可通过例如压力传感器、应变仪、霍尔效应传感器、和/或任何其他合适的传感器来产生传感器输入。在一些实施方案中，处理器可在I形梁的部署期间实施一个或多个暂停点。例如，在一些实施方案中，处理器可实现三个预先确定的暂停点，在该暂停点处处理器将I形梁的部署暂停预先确定的时间段。暂停点被构造成能够提供优化的组织流控制。
图58为逻辑图，其示出了用于控制端部执行器以允许流体排空并且提供改善的钉成形的方法3750的一个实施方案。方法3750包括产生3752传感器测量结果，例如，霍尔效应电压。传感器测量结果可指示例如抓持在端部执行器3650的砧座3652和钉仓3656之间的组织节段的厚度。将产生的信号提供给模数转换器以用于转换3754成数字信号。基于一个或多个输入(例如，第二传感器输入和/或预先确定的校正曲线)校正3756转换的信号。校正的信号表示端部执行器3650的一个或多个参数，例如，抓持在其中的组织节段的厚度。可将校正的厚度测量结果以厚度和/或无单位范围显示给用户。可通过例如嵌入外科器械10中的联接到端部执行器3650的显示器2026显示校正的厚度。
在一些实施方案中，使用校正的厚度测量结果来控制端部执行器3650内的I形梁和/或其他击发构件的部署。将校正的厚度测量结果提供给处理器。处理器将校正的测量结果的变化与预先确定的阈值百分比x进行比较3760。如果厚度测量结果的变化率大于x，则处理器减慢3762端部执行器内的I形梁的速度或部署速率。处理器可通过例如将可变速度减小预先确定的单位来减慢3762I形梁的速度。如果厚度测量结果的变化率小于或等于x，则处理器保持3764端部执行器3650内的I形梁的速度。组织厚度和/或压缩的实时反馈允许外科器械10改变击发速度，以允许流体排空并且/或者提供改善的钉成形。
在一些实施方案中，可通过一个或多个另外的传感器输入来调整由传感器产生3752的传感器读数(例如，霍尔效应电压)。例如，在一个实施方案中，可通过得自砧座3652上的微应变仪传感器的输入来调整所产生的3752霍尔效应电压。微应变仪可被构造成能够监控砧座3652的应变幅值。可通过监控的应变幅值来调整所产生的3752霍尔效应电压以指示例如部分近侧或远侧组织咬合。夹持期间的微应变和霍尔效应传感器输出的基于时间的检测允许一个或多个算法和/或查找表识别组织特性和夹持定位并且动态地调整组织厚度测量结果以控制例如I形梁的击发速度。在一些实施方案中，处理器可在I形梁的部署期间实现一个或多个暂停点。例如，在一些实施方案中，处理器可实现三个预先确定的暂停点，在该暂停点处处理器将I形梁的部署暂停预先确定的时间段。暂停点被构造成能够提供优化的组织流控制。
图59A-59B示出了包括压力传感器的端部执行器3800的一个实施方案。端部执行器3800包括能够枢转地联接到第二钳口构件3804的第一钳口构件或砧座3802。第二钳口构件3804被构造成能够在其中接收钉仓3806。钉仓3806包括多个钉。第一传感器3808在远侧末端处联接到砧座3802。第一传感器3808被构造成能够检测端部执行器的一个或多个参数，例如，砧座3802与钉仓3806之间的距离或间隙3814。第一传感器3808可包括任何合适的传感器，例如，磁传感器。磁体3810可联接到第二钳口构件3804和/或钉仓3806以将磁信号提供给磁传感器。

在一些实施方案中，第二传感器3812可包括例如单个连续压力感测膜和/或一系列压力感测膜。第二传感器3812沿着中心轴线联接到钉仓3806的平台，从而覆盖如被构造成能够接收切割和/或钉部署构件的狭槽3816。第二传感器3812提供信号，该信号指示夹持操作期间由组织施加的压力的幅值。在切割和/或部署构件的击发期间，可例如通过切割第二传感器3812与一个或多个电路之间的电连接来切断得自第二传感器3812的信号。在一些实施方案中，第二传感器3812的切断电流可指示用尽的钉仓3806。在其他实施方案中，第二传感器3812可被定位成使得切割和/或部署构件的部署不切断与第二传感器3812的连接。

图61为逻辑图，其示出了用于确定和显示夹持在根据图59A-59B或图60的端部执行器3800或3850中的组织节段的厚度的方法3870的一个实施方案。该方法包括通过例如定位在砧座3802的远侧末端处的霍尔效应传感器获得霍尔效应电压3872。将霍尔效应电压3872提供给模数转换器3874并且转换成数字信号。将数字信号提供给处理器，例如，主处理器2006。主处理器2006校正3874霍尔效应电压3872信号的曲线输入。压力传感器(例如，第二传感器3812)被构造成能够测量3880例如端部执行器3800的一个或多个参数，例如，由砧座3802施加到夹持在端部执行器3800中的组织上的压力的量。在一些实施方案中，压力传感器可包括单个连续压力感测膜和/或一系列压力感测膜。压力传感器可因而能够操作以确定端部执行器3800的近侧端部和远侧端部之间的不同位置处的测量压力的变化。将所测量的压力提供给处理器，例如，主处理器2006。主处理器2006响应于由压力传感器3880测量的压力来利用一个或多个算法和/或查找表调整3882霍尔效应电压3872，以较精确地反映夹持在例如砧座3802与钉仓3806之间的组织的厚度。将调整的厚度通过例如嵌入外科器械10中的显示器2026显示3878给操作者。
图62示出了端部执行器3900的一个实施方案，该端部执行器包括定位在钉仓3906和细长通道3916之间的多个第二传感器3192a-3192b。端部执行器3900包括能够枢转地联接到第二钳口构件或细长通道3904的第一钳口构件或砧座3902。细长通道3904被构造成能够在其中接收钉仓3906。砧座3902还包括位于远侧末端中的第一传感器3908。第一传感器3908被构造成能够检测端部执行器3900的一个或多个参数，例如，砧座3902与钉仓3906之间的距离或间隙。第一传感器3908可包括任何合适的传感器，例如，磁传感器。磁体3910可联接到细长通道3904和/或钉仓3906以将磁信号提供给第一传感器3908。在一些实施方案中，端部执行器3900包括位于钉仓3906与细长通道3904之间的多个第二传感器3912a-3912c。第二传感器3912a-3912c可包括任何合适的传感器，例如，压阻型压力膜条。在一些实施方案中，第二传感器3912a-3912c可均匀地分布在端部执行器3900的远侧端部和近侧端部之间。
在一些实施方案中，可利用得自第二传感器3912a-3912c的信号调整第一传感器3908的测量结果。例如，可利用得自第二传感器3912a-3912c的信号调整第一传感器3908的读数以精确地表示砧座3908与钉仓3906之间的间隙，该间隙可在端部执行器3900的远侧端部和近侧端部之间有所变化，这取决于砧座3902与钉仓3906之间的组织3920的位置和/或密度。图11示出了组织3920的部分咬合的示例。如针对此示例的目的所示，组织仅定位在端部执行器3900的近侧区域中，由此产生位于端部执行器3900的近侧区域附近的高压力区域3918和位于端部执行器的远侧端部附近的相应低压力区域3916。
图63A和63B进一步示出了组织3920的完全咬合相对于部分咬合的效果。图63A示出了具有组织3920的完全咬合的端部执行器3900，其中组织3920具有均匀密度。在具有均匀密度的组织3920的完全咬合的情况下，端部执行器3900处的远侧末端处的测得第一间隙3914a可大体等于端部执行器3900的中部或近侧端部中的测得第二间隙3922a。例如，第一间隙3914a可测得为2.4mm，并且第二间隙可测得为2.3mm。图63B示出了具有组织3920的部分咬合或另选地具有不均匀密度的组织3920的完全咬合的端部执行器3900。在这种情况下，第一间隙3914b将测得为小于在组织3920的最厚或最致密部分处测得的第二间隙3922b。例如，第一间隙可测得为1.0mm，而第二间隙可测得为1.9mm。在图63A和图63B所示的情况下，得自第二传感器3912a-3912c的信号(例如，沿端部执行器3900的长度的不同点处的测得压力)可被器械用于确定组织3920的布置方式和/或组织3920的材料特性。器械还可操作以利用随时间变化的测得压力识别组织特性和组织位置并且动态地调整组织厚度测量结果。
图64示出了端部执行器3950的一个实施方案，该端部执行器包括用于测量砧座和钉仓3956之间的间隙的线圈3958和振荡器电路3962。端部执行器3950包括能够枢转地联接到第二钳口构件或细长通道3954的第一钳口构件或砧座3952。细长通道3954被构造成能够在其中接收钉仓3956。在一些实施方案中，钉仓3954还包括位于远侧端部处的线圈3958和振荡器电路3962。线圈3958和振荡器电路3962能够操作以作为涡流传感器和/或电感传感器。线圈3958和振荡器电路3962可在目标3960(例如，砧座3952的远侧末端)靠近线圈3958时检测涡流和/或电感。可使用由线圈3958和振荡器电路3962检测的涡流和/或电感来检测砧座3952与钉仓3956之间的距离或间隙。
图65示出了端部执行器3950的另选视图。如图所示，在一些实施方案中，外部接线3964可将功率提供给振荡器电路3962。外部接线3964可沿着细长通道3954的外侧进行布置。
图66示出了用于检测目标3960中的涡流3972的线圈3958的操作的示例。以选定频率流过线圈3958的交流电流在线圈3958周围产生磁场3970。当线圈3958处于距目标3960特定距离的位置3976a时，线圈3958将不感应涡流3972。当线圈3958处于靠近导电目标3960的位置3976b时，在目标3960中产生电流3972。当线圈3958处于靠近目标3960中的裂缝的位置3976c时，裂缝可中断涡流循环；在这种情况下，与线圈3958耦合的磁场发生变化并且可通过测量线圈阻抗变化来读取缺陷信号3974。
图67示出了随线圈3958相对目标3960的间距3978而变化的线圈半径3958的测得品质因子3984、测得电感3986、和测得电阻3988的曲线图3980。品质因子3984依赖于间距3978，而电感3986和电阻3988两者为位移的函数。较高的品质因子3984导致较完全无功的传感器。电感3986的具体值仅受以下需求的约束：可制造的线圈3958以及在适当的频率下消耗适当的能量值的实际电路设计。电阻3988为寄生效应。
曲线图3980示出了电感3986、电阻3988、和品质因子3984如何依赖于目标间距3978。当间距3978增加时，电感3986增加四倍，电阻3988轻微降低，并且因而品质因子3984增加。全部三个参数的变化为高度非线性的并且每个曲线趋于随着间距3978的增加而大致以指数形式下降。敏感度随距离的快速丢失将涡流传感器的范围严格地限制为大约1/2线圈直径。
图68示出了端部执行器4000的一个实施方案，该端部执行器包括布置在钉仓4006与细长通道4004之间的发射器和传感器4008。端部执行器4000包括能够枢转地联接到第二钳口构件或细长通道4004的第一钳口构件或砧座4002。细长通道3904被构造成能够在其中接收钉仓4006。在一些实施方案中，端部执行器4000还包括定位在钉仓4006与细长通道4004之间的发射器和传感器4008。发射器和传感器4008可为任何合适的装置，例如，MEMS超声换能器。在一些实施方案中，发射器和传感器可沿着端部执行器4000的长度进行布置。

图73示出了与红色LED 4070和红外LED 4072一起操作的编码条4066的示例。仅为了此示例的目的，编码条4066包括切口。当编码条4066运动4068时，由红色LED 4070发射的光将随着切口在其前面通过而被中断。红外LED 4072将因此检测到编码条4066的运动4068，并且因此通过引申可检测到刀4062的运动。
基于部件评估监控装置劣化
图74示出了外科器械10的端部执行器300的局部视图。在图74所示的示例形式中，端部执行器300包括钉仓1100，该钉仓在许多方面类似于钉仓304(图20)。端部执行器300的若干部分被省略以允许更清楚地理解本公开。在某些情况下，端部执行器300可包括第一钳口(例如，砧座306(图20))和第二钳口(例如，通道198(图20))。在某些情况下，如上所述，通道198可容纳钉仓，例如，钉仓304或钉仓1100。通道198和砧座306中的至少一者可相对于通道198和砧座306中的另一者运动以将组织捕获在钉仓1100与砧座306之间。本文描述了各种致动组件以有利于通道198和/或砧座306例如在打开构型(图1)和闭合构型(图75)之间的运动。
在某些情况下，如上所述，可朝远侧推进E形梁178，以将钉191部署到所捕获的组织中和/或在多个位置之间推进切割刃182以接合和切割所捕获的组织。如图74所示，可例如沿着由狭槽193限定的路径朝远侧推进切割刃182。在某些情况下，可将切割刃182从钉仓1100的近侧部分1102推进到钉仓1100的远侧部分1104以切割所捕获的组织，如图74所示。在某些情况下，可例如通过朝近侧回缩E形梁178来使切割刃182从远侧部分1104朝近侧回缩到近侧部分1102。
在某些情况下，可采用切割刃182以在多个手术中切割由端部执行器300捕获的组织。读者将会知道，切割刃182的重复使用可影响切割刃182的锐度。读者还将会知道，当切割刃182的锐度降低时，利用切割刃182切割捕获的组织所需的力可增加。参见图74-76,在某些情况下，外科器械10可包括模块1106(图76)以用于例如在外科手术中在外科器械10的操作期间、之前、和/或之后监控切割刃182的锐度。在某些情况下，可在利用切割刃182切割所捕获的组织之前采用模块1106来测试切割刃182的锐度。在某些情况下，可在切割刃182已用于切割所捕获的组织之后采用模块1106来测试切割刃182的锐度。在某些情况下，可在切割刃182用于切割所捕获的组织之前和之后采用模块1106来测试切割刃182的锐度。在某些情况下，可在近侧部分1102处和/或远侧部分1104处采用模块1106来测试切割刃1106的锐度。
参见图74-76，模块1106可包括一个或多个传感器，例如，光学传感器1108；可采用模块1106的光学传感器1108来测试例如切割刃182的反射能力。在某些情况下，切割刃182反射光的能力可与切割刃182的锐度相关联。换句换讲，切割刃182的锐度降低可导致切割刃182反射光的能力降低。因此，在某些情况下，可例如通过检测从切割刃182反射的光的强度来评估切割刃182的钝度。在某些情况下，光学传感器1108可限定光感测区域。光学传感器1108可例如被取向成使得光感测区设置在切割刃182的路径中。当切割刃182例如位于光感测区中时，可采用光学传感器1108来感测从切割刃182反射的光。反射光的强度降低到阈值之下可指示切割刃182的锐度已降低到可接受水平之下。
再次参见图74-76，模块1106可包括一个或多个光源，例如，光源1110。在某些情况下，模块1106可包括微控制器1112(“控制器”)，该微控制器可操作地联接到光学传感器1108，如图76所示。在某些情况下，控制器1112可包括微处理器1114(“处理器”)和一个或多个计算机可读介质或存储单元1116(“存储器”)。在某些情况下，存储器1116可存储各种程序指令，所述各种程序指令在执行时可使得处理器1114执行本文所述的多个功能和/或计算。在某些情况下，存储器1116可例如联接到处理器1114。电源1118可被构造成能够例如将功率提供给控制器1112、光学传感器1108、和/或光源1110。在某些情况下，电源1118可包括电池(或者“电池组”或“电源组”)，例如，锂离子电池。在某些情况下，电池组可被构造成能够可释放地安装到柄部14以用于将功率供应给外科器械10。可将多个串联的电池单元用作电源4428。在某些情况下，电源1118可为例如可更换的和/或可再充电的。
控制器1112和/或本公开的其他控制器可使用集成的和/或分立的硬件元件、软件元件和/或该硬件元件和软件元件两者的组合来实现。集成硬件元件的示例可包括处理器、微处理器、微控制器、集成电路、ASIC、PLD、DSP、FPGA、逻辑门、寄存器、半导体器件、芯片、微芯片、芯片组、微控制器、SoC、和/或SIP。分立硬件元件的示例可包括电路和/或电路元件，诸如逻辑门、场效应晶体管、双极型晶体管、电阻器、电容器、电感器和/或继电器。在某些情况下，例如，控制器1112可包括混合电路，该混合电路在一个或多个基板上包括分立的和集成的电路元件或部件。
在某些情况下，控制器1112和/或本公开的其他控制器可为例如购自TexasInstruments的LM 4F230H5QR。在某些情况下，Texas Instruments LM4F230H5QR为ARMCortex-M4F处理器芯，其包括：256KB的单循环闪存存储器或其他非易失性存储器(最多至40MHZ)的片上存储器、用于使性能改善超过40MHz的预取缓冲器、32KB的单循环SRAM、装载有软件的内部ROM、2KB的EEPROM、一个或多个PWM模块、一个或多个QEI模拟、具有12个模拟输入通道的一个或多个12位ADC，以及易得的其他特征。可以很方便地换用其他微控制器，来与本公开联合使用。因此，本公开不应限于这一上下文。
在某些情况下，光源1110可用于发射光，所述光可例如被引导到光感测区中的切割刃182处。光学传感器1108可用于响应暴露于由光源1110发射的光来测量从处于光感测区中的切割刃182反射的光的强度。在某些情况下，处理器1114可接收反射光的测量强度的一个或多个值并且可将反射光的测量强度的一个或多个值存储在例如存储器1116上。存储值可在例如由外科器械10执行的外科手术之前、之后、和/或期间来检测和/或记录。
在某些情况下，处理器1114可将反射光的测量强度与例如可存储在存储器1116上的预定义阈值进行比较。在某些情况下，如果所测量的光强度超过预定义阈值例如1％、5％、10％、25％、50％、100％和/或多于100％，则控制器1112可断定切割刃182的锐度已下降到低于可接受水平。在某些情况下，处理器1114可用于检测从处于光感测区的切割刃182反射的光的测量强度的存储值的下降趋势。
在某些情况下，外科器械10可包括一个或多个反馈系统，例如，反馈系统1120。在某些情况下，如果从处于光感测区的切割刃182反射的光的测量光强度超过例如存储阈值，则处理器1114可采用反馈系统1120来警示用户。在某些情况下，反馈系统1120可包括例如一个或多个视觉反馈系统，例如，显示屏、背光源、和/或LED。在某些情况下，反馈系统1120可包括例如一个或多个听觉反馈系统，诸如，扬声器和/或蜂鸣器。在某些情况下，反馈系统1120可包括例如一个或多个触觉反馈系统。在某些情况下，反馈系统1120可包括例如视觉反馈系统、听觉反馈系统、和/或触觉反馈系统的组合。
在某些情况下，外科器械10可包括击发闭锁机构1122，该击发闭锁机构可用于阻止切割刃182的推进。各种合适的击发闭锁机构更详细地描述于2012年6月28日提交的名称为“FIRING SYSTEM LOCKOUT ARRANGEMENTS FOR SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS”的美国专利公布2014/0001231中，该专利公布全文以引用方式并入本文。在某些情况下，如图76所示，处理器1114能够操作地联接到闭锁机构1122；如果确定从切割刃182反射的光的测量强度超过例如存储阈值，则处理器1114可采用闭锁机构1122来阻止切割刃182的推进。换句话讲，如果切割刃不足够锐利以切割由端部执行器300捕获的组织，则处理器1114可激活闭锁机构1122。
在某些情况下，光学传感器1108和光源1110可容纳在轴组件200的远侧部分处。在某些情况下，如上所述，可在切割刃182过渡到端部执行器300中之前，通过光学传感器1108评估切割刃182的锐度。当例如切割刃182处于轴组件182中时并且在进入端部执行器300之前，击发杆172(图20)可推进切割刃182穿过由光学传感器1108限定的光感测区。在某些情况下，可在切割刃182从端部执行器300朝近侧回缩之后通过光学传感器1108评估切割刃182的锐度。当例如切割刃182从端部执行器300回缩到轴组件200中之后，击发杆172(图20)可回缩切割刃182穿过由光学传感器1108限定的光感测区。

再次参见图74，钉仓1100可包括例如多个光学传感器1108和多个对应光源1110。在某些情况下，一对光学传感器1108和光源1110可容纳在例如钉仓1100的近侧部分1102处；并且一对光学传感器1108和光源1110可容纳在例如钉仓1100的远侧部分1104处。在此类情况下，切割刃182的锐度可例如在接合组织之前在近侧部分1102处进行第一次评估，并且例如在穿过所捕获的组织之后在远侧部分1104处进行第二次评估。
读者将会知道，光学传感器1108可在外科手术期间多次地评估切割刃182的锐度。例如，切割刃的锐度可例如在击发行程中在切割刃182推进穿过狭槽193期间进行第一次评估，并且例如在返回行程中在切割刃182回缩穿过狭槽193期间进行第二次评估。换句话讲，从切割刃182反射的光可例如在切割刃推进穿过光感测区时由同一光学传感器1108测量一次并且在切割刃182回缩穿过光感测区时测量一次。
读者将会知道，处理器1114可从光学传感器1108中的一个或多个接收从切割刃182反射的光的强度的多个读数。在某些情况下，处理器1114可被构造成能够例如忽略异常值并且计算得自多个读数的平均读数。在某些情况下，可将平均读数与例如存储器1116中的阈值进行比较。在某些情况下，处理器1114可被构造成能够例如在确定所计算的平均读数超过存储在存储器1116中的阈值的情况下通过反馈系统1120警示用户和/或激活闭锁机构1122。
在某些情况下，如图75、图77、和图78所示，一对光学传感器1108和光源1110可定位在钉仓1100的相对侧。换句换讲，光学传感器1108可定位在例如狭槽193的第一侧1124，并且光源1110可定位在例如狭槽193的第二侧1126(与第一侧1124相对)。在某些情况下，所述对光学传感器1108和光源1110可基本上设置在横断钉仓1100的平面上，如图75所示。所述对光学传感器1108和光源1110可被取向成限定光感测区，该光感测区例如定位在或至少基本上定位在横断钉仓1100的平面上。另选地，所述对光学传感器1108和光源1110可被取向成限定光感测区，该光感测区例如定位在横断钉仓1100的平面的近侧，如图78所示。
在某些情况下，一对光学传感器1108和光源1110可定位在钉仓1100的同一侧。换句换讲，如图79所示，当切割刃182推进穿过狭槽193时，所述对光学传感器1108和光源1110可定位在切割刃182的第一侧，例如，侧面1128。在此类情况下，光源1110可被取向成将光引导到切割刃182的侧面1128处；并且通过光学传感器1108测得的从侧面1128反射的光的强度可表示侧面1128的锐度。
在某些情况下，如图80所示，第二对光学传感器1108和光源1110可定位在例如切割刃182的第二侧，例如，侧面1130。所述第二对可用于评估侧面1130的锐度。例如，所述第二对中的光源1110可被取向成将光引导到切割刃182的侧面1130处；并且通过所述第二对中的光学传感器1108测得的从侧面1130反射的光的强度可表示侧面1130的锐度。在某些情况下，处理器可被构造成能够例如基于从切割刃182的侧面1128和1130反射的光的测得强度来评价切割刃182的锐度。
在某些情况下，如图75所示，一对光学传感器1108和光源1110可容纳在钉仓1100的远侧部分1104处。如图81所示，光源1108可例如定位在或至少基本上定位在轴线LL上，该轴线LL沿着切割刃182穿过狭槽193的路径纵向地延伸。此外，光源1110可例如定位在切割刃182的远侧并且被取向成在切割刃朝光源1110推进时将光引导到切割刃182处。此外，光学传感器1108可定位在或至少基本上定位在与轴线LL相交的轴线AA上，如图81所示。在某些情况下，轴线AA可例如垂直于轴线LL。在任何情况下，光学传感器1108可被取向成将光感测区限定在例如轴线LL与轴线AA的交点处。
读者将会知道，本文所述的与外科器械10结合的光学传感器和对应光源的位置、取向、和/或数量为旨在用于举例说明目的的示例性实施方案。本公开可采用光学传感器和光源的各种其他布置方式来评估切割刃182的锐度。
读者将会知道，在外科器械10的每次击发期间，切割刃182推进穿过由端部执行器300捕获的组织可导致切割刃聚集组织碎屑和/或体液。此类碎屑可干扰模块1106精确地评估切割刃182的锐度的能力。在某些情况下，外科器械10可配备有一个或多个清洁机构，该清洁机构可用于例如在评估切割刃182的锐度之前清洁切割刃182。在某些情况下，如图82所示，清洁机构1131可包括例如一个或多个清洁构件1132。在某些情况下，清洁构件1132可设置在例如狭槽193的相对侧面上，以在切割刃182推进穿过狭槽193时接收两个侧面之间的切割刃182(参见图82)。在某些情况下，如图82所示，清洁构件1132可包括例如擦拭刀片。在某些情况下，如图830所示，清洁构件1132可包括例如海绵。读者将会知道，可例如采用各种其他清洁构件来清洁切割刃182。
参见图74,在某些情况下，钉仓1100可包括例如可容纳在钉仓1100的近侧部分1102中的第一对光学传感器1108和光源1110。此外，如图74所示，钉仓1100可包括可在近侧部分1102中容纳在狭槽193的相对侧面上的第一对清洁构件1132。第一对清洁构件1132可例如定位在第一对光学传感器1108和光源1110的远侧。如图74所示，钉仓1100可包括例如可容纳在钉仓1100的远侧部分1104中的第二对光学传感器1108和光源1110。如图74所示，钉仓1100可包括可在远侧部分1104中容纳在狭槽193的相对侧面上的第二对清洁构件1132。第二对清洁构件1132可定位在第二对光学传感器1108和光源1110的近侧。
除上述之外，如图74所示，切割刃182可在击发行程中朝远侧推进以切割由端部执行器300捕获的组织。当切割刃推进时，可例如在切割刃182与组织接合之前，通过第一对光学传感器1108和光源1110执行切割刃182的锐度的第一评估。可例如在切割刃182已横切所捕获的组织之后，通过第二对光学传感器1108和光源1110执行切割刃182的锐度的第二评估。切割刃182可在切割刃182的锐度的第二评估之前推进穿过第二对清洁构件1132，以移除由切割刃182在所捕获的组织的横切期间聚集的任何碎屑。
除上述之外，如图74所示，切割刃182可在返回行程中朝近侧回缩。当切割刃回缩时，可在返回行程期间通过第一对光学传感器1108和光源1110执行切割刃182的锐度的第三评估。切割刃182可例如在切割刃182的锐度的第三评估之前推进穿过第一对清洁构件1132，以移除由切割刃182在所捕获的组织的横切期间聚集的任何碎屑。
在某些情况下，光源1110中的一个或多个可包括一个或多个光纤缆线。在某些情况下，一个或多个挠性电路1134可用于将得自电源1118的能量传输到光学传感器1108和/或光源1110。在某些情况下，挠性电路1134可被构造成能够例如将光学传感器1108的读数中的一个或多个传输到控制器1112。
现在参见图84，示出了钉仓4300；钉仓4300在许多方面类似于钉仓304(图20)。例如，钉仓4300可与端部执行器300一起使用。在某些情况下，如图84所示，钉仓4300可包括锐度测试构件4302，该锐度测试构件可用于测试切割刃182的锐度。在某些情况下，锐度测试构件4302可例如附接到钉仓4300的仓体194和/或与其形成一体。在某些情况下，锐度测试构件4302可设置在例如钉仓4300的近侧部分1102中。在某些情况下，如图84所示，锐度测试构件4302可设置在例如钉仓4300的仓平台4304上。
在某些情况下，如图84所示，锐度测试构件4302可例如延伸横跨钉仓4300的狭槽193，以桥接或至少部分地桥接由狭槽193限定的间隙。在某些情况下，锐度测试构件4302可中断或至少部分地中断切割刃182的路径。当切割刃182例如在击发行程期间推进时，切割刃182可接合、切割、和/或穿过锐度测试构件4302。在某些情况下，切割刃182可被构造成能够例如在击发行程中在接合由端部执行器300捕获的组织之前接合、切割、和/或穿过锐度测试构件4302。在某些情况下，切割刃182可被构造成能够例如在锐度测试构件4302的近侧端部4306处接合锐度测试构件4302，并且在锐度测试构件4302的远侧端部4308处离开和/或脱离锐度测试构件4302。在某些情况下，当切割刃182在击发行程期间推进时，切割刃182可例如穿过锐度测试构件4302在近侧端部4306与远侧端部4308之间行进和/切割距离(D)。
主要参见图84和图85，外科器械10可包括例如用于测试切割刃182的锐度的锐度测试模块4310。在某些情况下，模块4310可通过测试切割刃182推进穿过锐度测试构件4302的能力来评估切割刃182的锐度。例如，模块4310可被构造成能够观测切割刃182完全横切和/或完全穿过锐度测试构件4302的至少预先确定的部分所需要的时间段。如果所观测的时间段超过预定义阈值，则模块4310可断定例如切割刃182的锐度已下降到低于可接受水平。
在某些情况下，模块4310可包括微控制器4312(“控制器”)，该微控制器可包括微处理器4314(“处理器”)和一个或多个计算机可读介质或存储单元4316(“存储器”)。在某些情况下，存储器4316可存储各种程序指令，所述各种程序指令在执行时可使得处理器4314执行本文所述的多个功能和/或计算。在某些情况下，存储器4316可例如联接到处理器4314。电源4318可被构造成能够例如将功率供应给控制器4312。在某些情况下，电源4138可包括电池(或者“电池组”或“电源组”)，例如，锂离子电池。在某些情况下，电池组可被构造成能够可释放地安装到柄部14。可将多个串联的电池单元用作电源4318。在某些情况下，电源4318可为例如可更换的和/或可再充电的。
在某些情况下，处理器4313可操作地联接到例如反馈系统1120和/或闭锁机构1122。
参见图84和图85，模块4310可包括一个或多个位置传感器。适合与本公开一起使用的示例位置传感器和定位系统在2013年3月14日提交的名称为“SENSOR ARRANGEMENTSFOR ABSOLUTE POSITIONING SYSTEM FOR SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS”的美国专利申请序列13/803,210中有所描述，该专利申请的公开内容全文以引用方式并入本文。在某些情况下，模块4310可包括第一位置传感器4320和第二位置传感器4322。在某些情况下，第一位置传感器4320可用于检测例如锐度测试构件4302的近侧端部4306处的切割刃182的第一位置；并且第二位置传感器4322可用于检测例如锐度切割构件4302的远侧端部4308处的切割刃182的第二位置。
在某些情况下，位置传感器4320和4322可用于分别将第一位置信号和第二位置信号提供给微控制器4312。应当理解，位置信号可为模拟信号或数字值，这取决于微控制器4312与位置传感器4320和4322之间的接口。在一个实施方案中，微控制器4312与位置传感器4320和4322之间的接口可为标准串行外围设备接口(SPI)，并且位置信号可为表示切割刃182的第一位置和第二位置的数字值，如上所述。
除上述之外，处理器4314可确定接收第一位置信号与接收第二位置信号之间的时间段。所确定的时间段可对应于切割刃182从例如锐度测试构件4302的近侧端部4306处的第一位置到例如锐度测试构件4302的远侧端部4308处的第二位置推进穿过锐度测试构件4302所需要的时间。在至少一个示例中，控制器4312可包括时间元件，该时间元件可在接收到第一位置信号时由处理器4314激活并且可在接收到第二位置信号时去激活。时间元件的去激活和停用之间的时间段可对应于例如切割刃182从第一位置推进到第二位置所需要的时间。时间元件可包括实时时钟、被构造成能够实现计时功能的处理器、或任何其他合适的计时电路。
在各种情况下，控制器4312可例如将切割刃182从第一位置推进到第二位置所需要的时间段与预定义阈值进行比较以评价切割刃182的锐度是否已下降到低于可接受水平。在某些情况下，如果所测量的时间段超过预定义阈值例如1％、5％、10％、25％、50％、100％和/或多于100％，则控制器4312可断定切割刃182的锐度已下降到低于可接受水平。
参见图86，在各种情况下，电动马达4330可驱动击发杆172(图20)以例如在击发行程期间推进切割刃182和/或在返回行程期间回缩切割刃182。马达驱动器4332可控制电动马达4330；并且微控制器(例如，微控制器4312)可与马达驱动器4332进行信号通信。当电动马达4330推进切割刃182时，微控制器4312可例如确定由电动马达4330消耗的电流。在此类情况下，推进切割刃182所需的力可对应于例如由电动马达4330消耗的电流。仍参见图86，外科器械10的微控制器4312可确定切割刃182的推进期间由电动马达4330消耗的电流是否增大，并且如果增大，则可计算电流的增量百分比。
在某些情况下，当切割刃182与锐度测试构件4302接触时，由电动马达4330消耗的电流可因锐度测试构件4302对切割刃182的阻力而显著增大。例如，当切割刃182接合、穿过、和/或切穿锐度测试构件4302时，由电动马达4330消耗的电流可显著增大。读者将会知道，锐度测试构件4302对切割刃182的阻力部分地取决于切割刃182的锐度；并且当切割刃182的锐度因重复使用而降低时，锐度测试构件4302对切割刃182的阻力将增加。因此，当切割刃与锐度测试构件4302接触时由电动马达4330消耗的电流的增量百分比的值可例如随着切割刃182的锐度因重复使用造成的降低而增大。
在某些情况下，所确定的由电动马达4330消耗的电流的增量百分比的值可为由电动马达4330消耗的电流的最大检测增量百分比。在各种情况下，微控制器4312可将所确定的由电动马达4330消耗的电流的增量百分比的值与由电动马达4330消耗的电流的增量百分比的预定义阈值进行比较。如果所确定的值超过预定义阈值，则微控制器4312可断定例如切割刃182的锐度已下降到低于可接受水平。
在某些情况下，如图86所示，处理器4314可例如与反馈系统1120和/或闭锁机构1122连通。在某些情况下，如果所确定的由电动马达4330消耗的电流的增量百分比的值超过预定义阈值，则处理器4314可例如采用反馈系统1120警示用户。在某些情况下，如果所确定的由电动马达4330消耗的电流的增量百分比的值超过预定义阈值，则处理器4314可例如采用闭锁机构1122来阻止切割刃182的推进。
在各种情况下，微控制器43312可利用算法确定由电动马达4330消耗的电流的变化。例如，电流传感器可检测击发行程期间由电动马达4330消耗的电流。电流传感器可连续检测由电动马达消耗的电流，和/或可间歇性地检测由电动马达消耗的电流。在各种情况下，算法可比较最新的电流读数与例如紧接进展的电流读数。除此之外或另选地，算法可比较时间段X内的样品读数X与此前的电流读数。例如，算法可比较样品读数与例如此前的时间段X(诸如紧接进展的时间段X)内的样品读数。在其他情况下，算法可计算由马达消耗的电流趋势平均值。算法可计算时间段X期间消耗的平均电流(包括例如最新电流读数)，并且可比较消耗的平均电流与例如在紧接进展的时间段X期间消耗的平均电流。
参见图87，示出了用于评估外科器械10的切割刃182的锐度的方法；并且如果切割刃182的锐度下降到和/或低于例如警示阈值和/或高严重性阈值，则列出各种响应。在各种情况下，微控制器(例如，微控制器4312)可被构造成能够实施图87所示的方法。在某些情况下，外科器械10可包括负荷传感器4334(图86)；如图86所示，微控制器4312可与负荷传感器4334连通。在某些情况下，负荷传感器4334可包括例如可操作地联接到击发杆172的力传感器，例如，应变仪。在某些情况下，微控制器4312可采用负荷传感器4334来监控当切割刃182在击发行程期间推进时施加到切割刃182的力(Fx)。
在某些情况下，如图88所示，负荷传感器4334可被构造成能够例如监控当切割刃182接合和/或接触锐度测试构件4302时施加到切割刃182的力(Fx)。读者将会知道，当切割刃182接合和/或接触锐度测试构件4302时由锐度测试构件4302施加到切割刃182的力(Fx)至少部分地取决于切割刃182的锐度。在某些情况下，切割刃182的锐度的降低可导致切割刃182切割或穿过锐度测试构件4302所需的力(FX)增加。例如，如图88所示，曲线4336,4338和4340表示当切割刃182穿过三个相同的或至少基本上相同的锐度测试构件4302行进预定义距离(D)时施加到切割刃182的力(Fx)。曲线4336对应于切割刃182的第一锐度；曲线4338对应于切割刃182的第二锐度；并且曲线4340对应于切割刃182的第三锐度。第一锐度大于第二锐度，并且第二锐度大于第三锐度。
在某些情况下，微控制器4312可将施加到切割刃182的监控力(Fx)的最大值与一个或多个预定义阈值进行比较。在某些情况下，如图88所示，预定义阈值可包括警示阈值(F1)和/或高严重性阈值(F2)。在某些情况下，如图88的曲线4336所示，监控力(Fx)可例如小于警示阈值(F1)。在此类情况下，如图87所示，切割刃182的锐度处于良好水平并且微控制器4312可不采取任何动作来向用户警示切割刃182的状态或者可通知用户切割刃182的锐度在可接受范围之内。
在某些情况下，如图88的曲线4338所示，监控力(Fx)可例如大于警示阈值(F1)但小于高严重性阈值(F2)。在此类情况下，如图87所示，切割刃182的锐度可钝化但仍在可接受水平之内。微控制器4312可不采取任何动作来向用户警示切割刃182的状态。另选地，微控制器4312可通知用户切割刃182的锐度在可接受范围之内。另选地或除此之外，微控制器4312可确定或估计切割刃182的生命周期中剩余的切割周期数并且可因此警示用户。
在某些情况下，存储器4316可包括数据库或表，该数据库或表使切割刃182的生命周期中剩余的切割周期数与监控力(Fx)的预先确定的值相关联。处理器4314可例如访问存储器4316以确定切割刃182的生命周期中剩余的切割周期数，其对应于监控力(Fx)的具体测量值并且可向用户警示切割刃182的生命周期中剩余的切割周期数。
在某些情况下，如图88的曲线4340所示，监控力(Fx)可例如大于高严重性阈值(F2)。在此类情况下，如图87所示，切割刃182的锐度可低于可接受水平。作为响应，微控制器4312可例如采用反馈系统1120来警告用户切割刃182太钝而不能安全使用。在某些情况下，微控制器4312可例如在检测到监控力(Fx)超过高严重性阈值(F2)时采用闭锁机构1122来阻止切割刃182的推进。在某些情况下，微控制器4312例如可采用反馈系统1122来向用户提供指令以用于重设闭锁机构1122。
参见图89，示出了一种方法，该方法用于例如确定切割刃(例如，切割刃182)是否足够锐利以用于横切由端部执行器300捕获的具有特定组织厚度的组织。在某些情况下，微控制器4312可用于例如执行执行图16所示的方法。如上所述，切割刃182的重复使用可钝化或降低切割刃182的锐度，由此可增加切割刃182横切所捕获组织所需的力。换句换讲，可例如通过切割刃182横切所捕获组织所需的力来限定切割刃182的锐度水平。读者将会知道，切割刃182横切所捕获组织所需的力还可依赖于所捕获组织的厚度。在某些情况下，例如，在相同的锐度水平下，所捕获组织的厚度越大，则切割刃182横切所捕获组织所需的力也越大。
在某些情况下，例如，切割刃182可足够锐利以横切具有第一厚度的所捕获组织，但可不足够锐利以横切具有大于第一厚度的第二厚度的所捕获组织。在某些情况下，例如，如果所捕获组织具有位于特定组织厚度范围内的组织厚度，则由切割刃182横切所捕获组织所需的力限定的切割刃182的锐度水平可足以横切所捕获组织。在某些情况下，如图90所示，存储器4316可存储由端部执行器300捕获的组织的一个或多个预定义组织厚度范围；以及与预定义组织厚度范围相关联的预定义阈值力。在某些情况下，每个预定义阈值力可表示适于横切具有组织厚度(Tx)的所捕获组织的切割刃182的最小锐度水平，该组织厚度(Tx)由与预定义阈值力相关联的组织厚度范围涵盖。在某些情况下，如果切割刃182横切具有组织厚度(Tx)的所捕获组织所需的力(Fx)超过例如与涵盖组织厚度(Tx)的预定义组织厚度范围相关联的预定义阈值力，则切割刃182可不足够锐利以横切所捕获组织。
在某些情况下，可将预定义阈值力及其对应的预定义组织厚度范围存储在存储器4316上的数据库和/或表(例如，表4342)中，如图90所示。在某些情况下，处理器4314可被构造成能够接收切割刃182横切所捕获组织所需的力(Fx)的测量值以及所捕获组织的组织厚度(Tx)的测量值。处理器4314可访问表4342以确定涵盖所测量的组织厚度(Tx)的预定义组织厚度范围。此外，处理器4314可将所测量的力(Fx)与预定义阈值力进行比较，该预定义阈值力与涵盖组织厚度(Tx)的预定义组织厚度范围相关联。在某些情况下，如果所测量的力(Fx)超过例如预定义阈值力，则处理器4314可断定切割刃182可不足够锐利以横切所捕获组织。
除上述之外，处理器4314可采用一个或多个组织厚度感测模块(例如，组织厚度感测模块4336)以确定所捕获组织的厚度。各种合适的组织厚度感测模块在本公开中有所描述。此外，适合与本公开一起使用的各种组织厚度感测装置和方法在2009年12月24日提交的名称为“SURGICAL CUTTING INSTRUMENT THAT ANALYZES TISSUE THICKNESS”的美国专利公布US 2011/0155781中有所公开，该专利公布的完整公开内容以引用方式并入本文。
在某些情况下，处理器4314可采用负荷传感器4334测量切割刃182横切包括组织厚度(Tx)的所捕获组织所需的力(Fx)。读者将会知道，当切割刃182接合和/或接触所捕获组织时由所捕获组织施加到切割刃182的力可随着切割刃182抵靠所捕获组织推进而增加，直至达到切割刃182可横切所捕获组织的力(Fx)。在某些情况下，当切割刃182抵靠所捕获组织推进时，处理器4314可采用负荷传感器4334连续地监控由所捕获组织抵靠切割刃182施加的力。处理器4314可连续地比较所监控的力与预定义阈值力，该预定义阈值力与涵盖所捕获组织的组织厚度(Tx)的预定义组织厚度范围相关联。在某些情况下，如果所监控的力超过例如预定义阈值力，则处理器4314可断定切割刃不足够锐利以安全地横切所捕获组织。
图89所述的方法列出了例如在确定切割刃182不足够锐利以安全地横切所捕获组织的情况下可由处理器4313采取的各种示例动作。在某些情况下，微控制器4312可例如通过反馈系统1120向用户警示例如切割刃182太钝而不能安全使用。在某些情况下，微控制器4312可例如在断定切割刃182不足够锐利以安全地横切所捕获组织时采用闭锁机构1122来阻止切割刃182的推进。在某些情况下，微控制器4312例如可采用反馈系统1122来向用户提供指令以用于重设闭锁机构1122。
用于加电医疗装置的多马达控制
图91-93示出了采用公共控制模块的设备、系统、和方法的各种实施方案，该公共控制模块与结合外科器械(例如，外科器械4400)的多个马达一起使用。外科器械4400在许多方面类似于本公开描述的其他外科器械，例如，上文更详细描述的图1的外科器械10。例如，如图91所示，外科器械4400包括外壳12、柄部14、闭合触发器32、轴组件200、和外科端部执行器300。因此，为本公开的简洁和清楚起见，与外科器械10相同的外科器械4400的某些特征结构的详细描述将不在此处进行重复。
主要参见图92，外科器械4400可包括多个马达，所述多个马达可被激活以结合外科器械4400的操作来执行各种功能。在某些情况下，第一马达可被激活以执行第一功能；第二马达可被激活以执行第二功能；并且第三马达可被激活以执行第三功能。在某些情况下，外科器械4400的多个马达可被单独地激活以导致端部执行器300中的关节运动动作、闭合动作、和/或击发动作。关节运动动作、闭合动作、和/或击发动作可例如通过轴组件200传输到端部执行器300。
在某些情况下，如图92所示，外科器械4400可包括击发马达4402。击发马达4402可操作地联接到击发驱动组件4404，该击发驱动组件可被构造成能够将由马达4402产生的击发动作传输到端部执行器300。在某些情况下，由马达4402产生的击发动作可导致例如钉191从钉仓304部署到由端部执行器300捕获的组织内和/或导致切割刃182被推进以切割所捕获组织。
在某些情况下，如图92所示，外科器械4400可包括例如关节运动马达4406。马达4406可操作地联接到关节运动驱动组件4408，该关节运动驱动组件可被构造成能够将由马达4406产生的关节运动动作传输到端部执行器300。在某些情况下，关节运动动作可导致例如端部执行器300相对于轴组件200进行关节运动。在某些情况下，外科器械4400可包括例如闭合马达。闭合马达可操作地联接到闭合驱动组件，该闭合驱动组件可被构造成能够将闭合动作传输到端部执行器300。在某些情况下，闭合动作可导致例如端部执行器300从打开构型转变成接近构型以捕获组织。读者将会知道，本文所述的马达及其对应驱动组件旨在作为可结合本公开使用的马达和/或驱动组件的类型的示例。外科器械4400可包括可用于结合外科器械4400的操作来执行各种其他功能的各种其他马达。
如上所述，外科器械4400可包括多个马达，所述多个马达可被构造成能够执行各种独立功能。在某些情况下，外科器械4400的多个马达可被单独地或独立地激活以执行一个或多个功能，而其他马达保持非活动的。例如，关节运动马达4406可被激活以导致端部执行器300进行关节运动，而击发马达4402保持非活动的。另选地，击发马达4402可被激活以击发多个钉191和/或推进切割刃182，而关节运动马达4406保持非活动的。
在某些情况下，外科器械4400可包括公共控制模块4410，该公共控制模块可与外科器械4400的多个马达一起使用。在某些情况下，公共控制模块4410每次可调节多个马达中的一个。例如，公共控制模块4410可分别单独地联接到外科器械4400的多个马达。在某些情况下，外科器械4400的多个马达可共用一个或多个公共控制模块，例如，模块4410。在某些情况下，外科器械4400的多个马达可独立地或选择性地接合公共控制模块4410。在某些情况下，模块4410可从接合外科器械4400的多个马达中的一个切换到接合外科器械4400的多个马达中的另一个。
在至少一个示例中，模块4410可在可操作地接合关节运动马达4406与可操作地接合击发马达4402之间选择性地切换。在至少一个示例中，如图92所示，开关4414可在多个位置和/或状态(例如，第一位置4416和第二位置4418)之间运动或转变。在第一位置4416中，开关4414可将模块4410电联接到关节运动马达4406；并且在第二位置4418中，开关4414可例如将模块4410电联接到击发马达4402。在某些情况下，当开关4414处于第一位置4416时，模块4410可电联接到关节运动马达4406，以控制4406的操作，由此使端部执行器300关节运动到所需位置。在某些情况下，当开关4414处于第二位置4418时，模块4410可例如电联接到击发马达4402，以控制马达4402的操作，由此击发多个钉191和/或推进切割刃182。在某些情况下，开关4414可为机械开关、机电开关、固态开关、或任何合适的开关机构。
现在参见图93，为本公开的清楚起见，外科器械4400的柄部14的外部壳体被移除并且外科器械4400的若干特征结构和元件也被移除。在某些情况下，如图93所示，外科器械4400可包括可在多个位置和/或状态之间选择性地转变的接头4412。在第一位置和/或状态中，接头4412可将模块4410联接到第一马达，例如，关节运动马达4406；并且在第二位置和/或状态中，接头4412可将模块4410联接到第二马达，例如，击发马达4402。本公开可设想到接头4412的另外的位置和/或状态。
在某些情况下，接头4412能够在第一位置和第二位置之间运动，其中模块4410在第一位置中联接到第一马达并且在第二位置中联接到第二马达。在某些情况下，当接头4412从第一位置运动时，模块4410与第一马达分离；并且当接头4412从第二位置运动时，模块4410与第二马达分离。在某些情况下，开关或触发器可被构造成能够使接头4412在多个位置和/或状态之间转变。在某些情况下，触发器能够运动，从而使端部执行器起作用、和使控制模块4410从可操作地接合外科器械4400的马达中的一个转变成与外科器械4400的马达中的另一个可操作地接合同时发生。
在至少一个示例中，如图93所示，闭合触发器32可操作地联接到接头4412并且可被构造成能够使接头4412在多个位置和/或状态之间转变。如图93所示，闭合触发器32能够例如在击发行程期间运动，以例如使接头4412从第一位置和/或状态转变到第二位置和/或状态同时使端部执行器300转变到接近构型以通过端部执行器捕获组织。
在某些情况下，在第一位置和/或状态中，模块4410可电联接到第一马达，例如，关节运动马达4406，并且在第二位置和/或状态中，模块4410可电联接到第二马达，例如，击发马达4402。在第一位置和/或状态中，模块4410可与关节运动马达4406接合以允许用户使端部执行器300关节运动到所需位置；并且模块4410可保持与关节运动马达4406接合，直到触发器32被致动。当用户致动闭合触发器32以通过所需位置下的端部执行器300捕获组织时，接头4412可进行转变或移位，以使模块4410从例如可操作地接合关节运动马达4406转变成例如可操作地接合击发马达4402。一旦实现与击发马达4402的可操作接合，模块4410就可控制击发马达4402；并且模块4410可响应于用户输入来激活马达4402，以例如击发多个钉191并且/或者推进切割刃182。
在某些情况下，如图93所示，模块4410可包括适于与接头4412联接的多个电触点和/或机械触点4411。共用模块4410的外科器械4400的多个马达可各自包括例如适于与接头4412联接的一个或多个对应的电触点和/或机械触点4413。
在各种情况下，外科器械4400的马达可为电动马达。在某些情况下，外科器械4400的马达中的一个或多个可为例如具有大约25,000RPM的最大转速的直流有刷驱动马达。在其他构造中，外科器械4400的马达可包括一个或多个下述马达，所述马达选自无刷马达、无绳马达、同步马达、步进马达、或任何其他合适的电动马达。
在各种情况下，如图92所示，公共控制模块4410可包括马达驱动器4426，该马达驱动器可包括一个或多个H桥场效应晶体管(FET)。马达驱动器4426可例如基于得自微控制器4420(“控制器”)的输入来调节从电源4428传输到联接至模块4410的马达的功率。在某些情况下，当马达联接到模块4410时，可例如采用控制器4420来确定由马达消耗的电流，如上所述。
在某些情况下，控制器4420可包括微处理器4422(“处理器”)和一个或多个计算机可读介质或存储单元4424(“存储器”)。在某些情况下，存储器4424可存储各种程序指令，所述各种程序指令在执行时可使得处理器4422执行本文所述的多个功能和/或计算。在某些情况下，存储单元4424中的一个或多个可例如联接到处理器4422。
在某些情况下，电源4428可例如用于将功率供应给控制器4420。在某些情况下，电源4428可包括电池(或者“电池组”或“电源组”)，例如，锂离子电池。在某些情况下，电池组可被构造成能够可释放地安装到柄部14以用于将功率供应给外科器械4400。可将多个串联的电池单元用作电源4428。在某些情况下，电源4428可为例如可更换的和/或可再充电的。
在各种情况下，处理器4422可控制马达驱动器4426以控制联接到模块4410的马达的位置、旋转方向、和/或速度。在某些情况下，处理器4422可发信号通知马达驱动器4426，以停止和/或停用联接到模块4410的马达。应当理解，本文使用的术语“处理器”包括任何合适的微处理器、微控制器，或者将计算机的中央处理单元(CPU)的功能结合到一个集成电路或最多几个集成电路上的其他基础计算装置。处理器是多用途的可编程装置，该装置接收数字数据作为输入，依据其存储器中存储的指令来处理输入，然后提供结果作为输出。因为处理器具有内部存储器，所以是顺序数字逻辑的示例。处理器的操作对象是以二进制数字系统表示的数字和符号。
在一种情况下，处理器4422可以是任一种单核或多核处理器，诸如已知的由TexasInstruments生产的商品名为ARM Cortex的那些。在某些情况下，微控制器4420可以是例如可购自Texas Instruments的LM4F230H5QR。在至少一个示例中，Texas InstrumentsLM4F230H5QR为ARM Cortex-M4F处理器芯，其包括：256KB的单循环闪存存储器或其他非易失性存储器(最多至40MHZ)的片上存储器、用于使性能改善超过40MHz的预取缓冲器、32KB的单循环SRAM、装载有软件的内部ROM、2KB的EEPROM、一个或多个PWM模块、一个或多个QEI模拟、具有12个模拟输入通道的一个或多个12位ADC，以及对于产品数据表而言易得的其他特征。可容易地换用其他微控制器，以与模块4410一起使用。因此，本公开不应限于这一上下文。
在某些情况下，存储器4424可包括用于控制可联接到模块4410的外科器械4400的马达中的每个的程序指令。例如，存储器4424可包括用于控制关节运动马达4406的程序指令。当关节运动马达4406联接到模块4410时，此类程序指令可导致处理器4422根据用户输入来控制关节运动马达4406以使端部执行器300进行关节运动。又如，存储器4424可包括用于控制击发马达4402的程序指令。当击发马达4402联接到模块4410时，此类程序指令可导致处理器4422根据用户输入来控制击发马达4402以击发多个钉191和/或推进切割刃182。
在某些情况下，一个或多个机构和/或传感器(例如，传感器4430)可用于提示处理器4422使用应当用于特定设置中的程序指令。例如，当模块4410联接到关节运动马达4406时，传感器4430可提示处理器4422使用与端部执行器300的关节运动相关联的程序指令；并且当模块4410联接到击发马达4402时，传感器4430可提示处理器4422使用与击发外科器械4400相关联的程序指令。在某些情况下，传感器4430可包括例如可用于感测开关4414的位置的位置传感器。因此，当通过传感器4430检测到例如开关4414处于第一位置4416时，处理器4422可使用与端部执行器300的关节运动相关联的程序指令；并且当通过传感器4430检测到例如开关4414处于第二位置4418时，处理器4422可使用与击发外科器械4400相关联的程序指令。

在某些情况下，如图94所示，传感器A、B、和C可被布置成使得例如传感器A设置在传感器B的近侧并且传感器C设置在传感器B的近侧。在某些情况下，如图94所示，例如，传感器A可感测第一位置处的由端部执行器300捕获的组织的组织厚度；传感器B可感测第一位置远侧的第二位置处的由端部执行器300捕获的组织的组织厚度；并且传感器C可感测第二位置远侧的第三位置处的由端部执行器300捕获的组织的组织厚度。读者将会知道，本文所述的传感器旨在作为可结合本公开使用的传感器的类型的示例。本公开可采用其他合适的传感器和感测构造。
在某些情况下，外科器械4400可包括公共控制模块4450，该公共控制模块可在许多方面类似于模块4410。例如，类似于模块4410的模块4450可包括控制器4420、处理器4422、和/或存储器4424。在某些情况下，电源4428可例如将功率供应给模块4450。在某些情况下，外科器械4400可包括多个传感器，例如，传感器A、B、和C，所述多个传感器可被激活以结合外科器械4400的操作来执行各种功能。在某些情况下，传感器A、B、和C中的一个例如可被单独地或独立地激活以执行一个或多个功能，而其他传感器保持非活动的。在某些情况下，外科器械4400的多个传感器(例如，传感器A、B、和C)可共用模块4450。在某些情况下，每次传感器A、B、和C中的仅一个可联接到模块4450。在某些情况下，外科器械4400的多个传感器例如可单独地或独立地联接到模块4450。在至少一个示例中，模块4450可在与传感器A、传感器B、和/或传感器C的可操作接合之间选择性地切换。

在某些情况下，如图94所示，接头4452可用于控制外科器械4400的传感器与模块4450的联接和/或分离。在某些情况下，接头4452可在多个位置和/或状态之间选择性地转变。在第一位置和/或状态中，接头4452可例如将模块4450联接到传感器A；在第二位置和/或状态中，接头4452可例如将模块4450联接到传感器B；并且在第三位置和/或状态中，接头4452可例如将模块4450联接到传感器C。本公开可设想到接头4452的另外的位置和/或状态。
在某些情况下，接头4452能够例如在第一位置、第二位置、和/或第三位置之间运动，其中模块4450在第一位置中联接到第一传感器，在第二位置中联接到第二传感器，并且在第三位置中联接到第三传感器。在某些情况下，当接头4452从第一位置运动时，模块4450与第一传感器分离；当接头4452从第二位置运动时，模块4450与第二传感器分离；并且当接头4452从第三位置运动时，模块4450与第三传感器分离。在某些情况下，开关或触发器可被构造成能够使接头4452在多个位置和/或状态之间转变。在某些情况下，触发器能够运动，从而例如使端部执行器起作用、和使控制模块4450从可操作地接合共用模块4450的传感器中的一个转变成可操作地接合共用模块4450的传感器中的另一个同时发生。
在至少一个示例中，如图94所示，闭合触发器32可操作地联接到接头4450并且可被构造成能够使接头4450在多个位置和/或状态之间转变。如图94所示，闭合触发器32能够例如在击发行程期间在多个位置之间运动，以使接头4450在例如其中模块4450电联接到传感器A的第一位置和/或状态、例如其中模块4450电联接到传感器B的第二位置和/或状态、和/或例如其中模块4450电联接到传感器C的第三位置和/或状态之间转变。
在某些情况下，用户可致动闭合触发器32以通过端部执行器300捕获组织。闭合触发器的致动可导致接头4452进行转变或移位，以使模块4450从例如可操作地接合传感器A转变成例如可操作地接合传感器B、和/或从例如可操作地接合传感器B转变成例如可操作地接合传感器C。
在某些情况下，当触发器32处于第一致动位置时，模块4450可联接到传感器A。当触发器32穿过第一致动位置朝第二致动位置致动时，模块4450可与传感器A分离。另选地，当触发器32处于未致动位置时，模块4450可联接到传感器A。当触发器32穿过未致动位置朝第二致动位置致动时，模块4450可与传感器A分离。在某些情况下，当触发器32处于第二致动位置时，模块4450可联接到传感器B。当触发器32穿过第二致动位置朝第三致动位置致动时，模块4450可与传感器B分离。在某些情况下，当触发器32处于第三致动位置时，模块4450可联接到传感器C。

组织参数稳定性的局部显示
图95A和图1B示出了包括钉仓5306的端部执行器5300的一个实施方案，该钉仓还包括两个发光二极管(LED)5310。端部执行器5300类似于上述端部执行器300。端部执行器包括能够枢转地联接到第二钳口构件或细长通道5304的第一钳口构件或砧座5302。细长通道5304被构造成能够在其中接收钉仓5306。钉仓5306包括多个钉(未示出)。多个钉能够在外科操作期间从钉仓5306部署。钉仓5306还包括安装在钉仓5306的上表面或仓平台5308上的两个LED 5310。LED 5310被安装成使得它们将在砧座5304处于闭合位置时可见。此外，LED 5310可足够明亮以穿过任何组织可见，该组织可遮蔽LED 5310的直视。另外，一个LED5310可安装在钉仓5306的任一侧面上，使得至少一个LED 5310从端部执行器5300的任一侧可见。LED 5310可安装在钉仓530的近侧端部附近，如图所示，或者可安装在钉仓5306的远侧端部处。
LED 5310可与处理器或微控制器连通，例如，图19的微控制器1500。微控制器1500可被构造成能够检测由砧座5304抵靠仓平台5308压缩的组织的特性。由端部执行器5300包封的组织可因组织内的流体从组织的各层渗出而改变高度。在组织已足够稳定之前缝合组织可影响缝合的有效性。组织稳定性通过以变化率表示，其中变化率指示由端部执行器包封的组织正如何快速地改变高度。
位于器械操作者的视野中的安装到钉仓5306的LED 5310可用于指示所包封组织正变稳定的速率和/或组织是否已达到稳态。LED 5310可例如被构造成能够以与组织稳定速率直接相关联的速率闪光，即，初始可快速地闪光、随着组织的稳定而较慢地闪光、并且在组织稳定时保持稳态。另选地，LED 5310可初始缓慢地闪光、随着组织的温度而较快速地闪光、并且在组织稳定时熄灭。
安装在钉仓5306上的LED 5310可另外地或任选地用于指示其他信息。其他信息的示例包括但不限于：端部执行器5300是否正包封足够量的组织、钉仓5306是否适用于所包封的组织、所包封的组织是多于适用于钉仓5306的组织、钉仓5306是否与外科器械不相容、将对器械的操作者有用的任何其他指示信息。LED 5310可通过以特定速率闪光、在特定情况下点亮或熄灭、针对不同信息以不同颜色发光来指示信息。另选地或除此之外，LED 5310可用于照亮操作区域。在一些实施方案中，可选择LED 5310以发射紫外光或红外光来照亮在正常光下不可见的信息，其中该信息被打印在钉仓5300上或组织补偿件(未示出)上。另选地或除此之外，钉可涂覆有荧光染料并且LED 5310的波长可被选定以使得LED 5310导致荧光染料发光。利用LED 5310照亮钉允许器械的操作者观察已被驱动之后的钉。

具有用于量化组织压缩的一体化传感器的辅助物
图98A示出了包括组织补偿件5510的端部执行器5500的实施方案，该组织补偿件还包括导电元件5512层。端部执行器5500类似于上述端部执行器300。端部执行器5500包括能够枢转地联接到第二钳口构件5504(未示出)的第一钳口构件或砧座5502。第二钳口构件5504被构造成能够在其中接收钉仓5506(未示出)。钉仓5506包括多个钉(未示出)。多个钉191能够在外科操作期间从钉仓3006部署。在一些实施方案中，端部执行器5500还包括能够移除地定位在砧座5502或钉仓5506上的组织补偿件5510。图98B示出了图98A中所示的组织补偿件5510的一部分的细部图。
如上所述，多个钉191可在未击发位置与击发位置之间进行部署，使得钉腿5530运动穿过和穿透压缩在砧座5502与钉仓5506之间的组织5518，并且接触砧座5502的钉成形表面。在包括组织补偿件5510的实施方案中，钉腿5530还穿透和刺穿组织补偿件5510。当钉腿5530抵靠砧座的钉成形表面变形时，每个钉191可捕获组织5518和组织补偿件5510的一部分，并且将压缩力施加到组织5518。组织补偿件5510因而在外科器械10从患者体内抽出之后利用钉191保留在适当的位置。因为它们将被患者身体保持，所以组织补偿件5510由生物耐用性和/或生物降解性材料构成。组织补偿件5510更详细地描述于名称为“TISSUETHICKNESS COMPENSATOR FOR SURGICAL STAPLER”的美国专利8,657,176中，该专利全文以引用方式并入本文。
返回图98A，在一些实施方案中，组织补偿件5510包括导电元件5512层。导电元件5512可包括具有任何种类的构型的导电材料的任何组合，例如，线圈、线网或线栅、导电条、导电板、电路、微处理器、或它们的任何组合。包含导电元件5512的层可定位在组织补偿件5510的砧座面向表面5514上。另选地或除此之外，导电元件5512层可定位在组织补偿件5510的钉仓面向表面5516上。另选地或除此之外，导电元件5512层可嵌入组织补偿件5510内。另选地，导电元件5512层可构成组织补偿件5510的全部，例如，当导电材料均匀地或非均匀地分布在构成组织补偿件5510的材料中。
图98A示出了其中组织补偿件5510能够移除地附接到端部执行器5500的砧座部分5502的实施方案。组织补偿件5510将在端部执行器5500插入患者体内之前以此方式进行附接。除此之外或另选地，在钉仓5506施加到端部执行器6600之后或之前并且在该装置插入患者体内之前，组织补偿件5610可附接到钉仓5506(未示出)。
图99示出了使用导电元件5512层和钉仓5506中的导电元件5524,5526和5528来检测砧座5502与钉仓5506的上表面之间的距离的各种示例实施方案。砧座5502与钉仓5506之间的距离指示压缩在两者间的组织5518的量和/或密度。除此之外或另选地，此距离可指示端部执行器5500的哪些区域包含组织。可将组织5518厚度、密度、和/或位置传送给外科器械10的操作者。
在例示的示例实施方案中，导电元件5512层定位在组织补偿件5510的砧座面向表面5514上，并且包括与微处理器5520连通的一个或多个线圈5522。微处理器5500可定位在端部执行器5500或其任何部件中，或者可定位在器械的外壳12中，或者可包括此前描述的任何微处理器或微控制器。在例示的示例实施方案中，钉仓5506还包括导电元件，该导电元件可为下述元件中的任一者：一个或多个线圈5524、一个或多个导电板5526、线网5528、或任何其他方便构型、或者它们的任何组合。钉仓5506的导电元件可与器械中的同一微处理器5520或一些其他微处理器连通。
当砧座5502处于闭合位置并且因而正抵靠钉仓5506压缩组织5518时，组织补偿件5510的导电元件5512层可与钉仓5506中的导体电容耦合。导电元件5512层与钉仓5506的导电元件之间的电容场的强度可用于确定正被压缩的组织5518的量。另选地，钉仓5506可包括与微处理器5520连通的涡流传感器，其中涡流传感器可操作以利用涡流感测砧座5502与钉仓5506的上表面之间的距离。
应当理解，导电元件的其他构型也是可以的，并且图99的实施方案仅为示例而非作为限制。例如，在一些实施方案中，导电元件5512层可定位在组织补偿件5510的钉仓面向表面5516上。另外，在一些实施方案中，导电元件5524,5526、和/或5528可定位在砧座5502上或内部。因此，在一些实施方案中，导电元件5512层可与砧座5502中的导电元件电容耦合并且由此感测包封在端部执行器内的组织5518的特性。
还可认识到，组织补偿件5512可包括位于砧座面向表面5514和仓面向表面5516两者上的导电元件5512层。用于检测由砧座5502抵靠钉仓5506压缩的组织5518的量、密度、和/或位置的系统可包括位于砧座5502、钉仓5506、或这两者中的导体或传感器。包括位于砧座5502和钉仓5506两者中的导体或传感器的实施方案可任选地通过允许对可由此构型获得信息进行差分分析来获得改善的结果。
图100A和图100B示出了操作中的包括导电元件5512层的组织补偿件5510的实施方案。图100A示出了已部署之后的多个钉191中的一个。如图所示，钉191已穿透组织5518和组织补偿件5510两者。导电元件5512层可包括例如网丝。在穿透导电元件5512层时，钉腿5530可刺穿线网，由此改变导电元件5512层的导电性。导电性的这种变化可用于指示多个钉191中的每个的位置。钉191的位置可相对于钉的预期位置进行比较，并且这种比较可用于确定任何钉是否未击发或者任何钉是否不处于其被预期所在的位置。
图100A还示出了不能完全变形的钉腿5530。图100B示出了已适当并且完全变形的钉腿5530。如图100B所示，当钉腿5530抵靠砧座5502的钉成形表面变形并且折回组织5518时，导电元件5512层可被钉腿5530第二次刺穿。导电元件5512层中的第二中断可用于指示完全钉191成形(如图100B所示)或不完全钉191成形(如图100A所示)。
图101A和101B示出了包括组织补偿件5610的端部执行器5600的实施方案，该组织补偿件还包括嵌入其中的导体5620。端部执行器5600包括能够枢转地联接到第二钳口构件5604的第一钳口构件或砧座5602。第二钳口构件5604被构造成能够在其中接收钉仓5606。在一些实施方案中，端部执行器5600还包括能够移除地定位在砧座5602或钉仓5606上的组织补偿件5610。
首先转到图4B，图4B示出了能够移除地定位在钉仓5606上的组织补偿件5610的剖面图。该剖面图示出了嵌入构成组织补偿件5610的材料内的一系列导体5620。一系列导体5620可布置成相对构型，并且相对元件可由绝缘材料隔开。一系列导体5620各自联接到一根或多根传导线5622。传导线5622允许一系列导体5620与微处理器连通，例如，微处理器1500。一系列导体5620可横跨组织补偿件5610的宽度，使得它们将位于切割构件或刀杆280的路径中。当刀杆280推进时，其将切断、破坏、或以其他方式损坏导体5620，并且由此指示其在端部执行器5600内的位置。一系列导体5610可包括导电元件、电子电路、微处理器、或它们的任何组合。
现在转到图101A，图101A示出了其中砧座5602处于闭合位置的端部执行器5600的近距离剖面图。在闭合位置中，砧座5602可抵靠钉仓5606压缩组织5618和组织补偿件5610。在一些情况下，端部执行器5600的仅一部分可正包封组织5618。在包封组织5618的端部执行器5600区域中，组织补偿件5610可比不包封组织5618的区域被压缩更大的量5624，在不包封组织的区域中组织补偿件5618可保持未压缩5626或较少地压缩。在较大压缩的区域5624中，一系列导体5620也将被压缩，而在未压缩的区域5626中，一系列导体5620将较远地间隔开。因此，一系列导体5620之间的导电性、电阻、电容、和/或一些其他电特性可指示端部执行器5600的哪些区域包括组织。
图102A和102B示出了包括组织补偿件5660的端部执行器5650的实施方案，该组织补偿件还包括嵌入其中的导体5662。端部执行器5650包括能够枢转地联接到第二钳口构件5654的第一钳口构件或砧座5652。第二钳口构件5654被构造成能够在其中接收钉仓5656。在一些实施方案中，端部执行器5650还包括能够移除地定位在砧座5652或钉仓5656上的组织补偿件5660。

图102A示出了其中砧座5652处于闭合位置的端部执行器5650的近距离侧视图。在闭合位置中，砧座5652可抵靠钉仓5656压缩组织5658和组织补偿件5660。嵌入组织补偿件5660内的导体5672可操作以将预先确定的频率的电流脉冲5674施加到组织5658。相同的或另外的导体5672可检测组织5658的响应并且将此响应传输到定位在器械中的微处理器或微控制器。组织5658对电脉冲5674的响应可用于确定组织5658的特性。例如，组织5658的流电响应指示组织5658的含水量。又如，组织5658中的电阻抗的测量结果可用于确定组织5648的导电性，该导电性为组织类型的指示因素。可确定的其他特性以举例的方式包括并且并不限于：氧含量、盐度、密度、和/或某些化学物的存在。通过组合得自若干传感器的数据，可确定其他特性，例如，血液流速、血液类型、抗体的存在等等。
图103示出了钉仓5706和组织补偿件5710的实施方案，其中钉仓5706将功率提供给构成组织补偿件5710的导电元件5720。如图所示，钉仓5706包括形式为贴片、辐条、凸耳、或一些其他凸起构型的电触点5724。组织补偿件5710包括可电联接到钉仓5706上的触点5724的线网或实体接触点5722。
图104A和图104B示出了钉仓5756和组织补偿件5760的实施方案，其中钉仓将功率提供给构成组织补偿件的5710导电元件5770。如图104A所示，组织补偿件5760包括被构造成能够接触钉仓5756的伸出部或插片5772。插片5772可接触并且附着到钉仓5756上的电触点(未示出)。插片5772还包括定位在构成组织补偿件5760的导电元件5770的线中的断裂点5774。当组织补偿件5760被压缩时，例如当砧座相对于钉仓5756处于闭合位置时，断裂点5774将断裂，由此允许组织补偿件5756与钉仓5756分离。图104B示出了采用定位在插片5772中的断裂点5774的另一个实施方案。
图105A和F8B示出了包括位置感测元件5824和组织补偿件5810的端部执行器5800的实施方案。端部执行器5800包括能够枢转地联接到第二钳口构件5804(未示出)的第一钳口构件或砧座5802。第二钳口构件5804被构造成能够在其中接收钉仓5806(未示出)。在一些实施方案中，端部执行器5800还包括能够移除地定位在砧座5802或钉仓5806上的组织补偿件5810。

在图105A和图105B中，位置感测元件5824仅以举例的方式被示为砧座5804的一部分。应当理解，位置感测元件5824可替代地或另外地定位在钉仓5806上。还应当理解，位置感测元件5824和位置指示元件5820的位置可被颠倒，使得组织补偿件5810能够操作以指示其是否被正确对准。
图106A和F9B示出了包括位置感测元件5874和组织补偿件5860的端部执行器5850的实施方案。端部执行器5850包括能够枢转地联接到第二钳口构件5854(未示出)的第一钳口构件或砧座5852。第二钳口构件5854被构造成能够在其中接收钉仓5856(未示出)。在一些实施方案中，端部执行器5850还包括能够移除地定位在砧座5852或钉仓5856上的组织补偿件5860。
图106A示出了端部执行器5850的砧座5852部分。在一些实施方案中，砧座5854包括一系列导电元件5474。一系列导电元件5474可包括例如电触点、磁体、RF传感器等等。一系列导电元件5474沿着砧座5852的组织面向表面的长度进行排列。在一些实施方案中，组织补偿件5860可包括导电元件5862层，其中导电元件包括线栅或线网。导电元件5862层可联接到传导线5876。传导线5862可提供与微处理器(例如，微处理器1500)的连通。
图106A示出了其中砧座5852的导电元件5474与导电元件5862层可操作以指示组织补偿件5860是否未对准或缺失的实施方案。如图所示，一系列导电元件5874能够操作以与导电元件5862层电联接。当组织补偿件5860未对准或缺失时，电联接将为不完全的。如果未对准高于阈值量，则可将警告发信号通知给器械的操作者，并且/或者可禁用器械的功能以阻止钉被击发。
应当理解，除此之外或另选地，一系列导电元件5874可定位在钉仓5856上。还应当理解，砧座5852、钉仓5856、和/或组织补偿件5860中的任一个可操作以指示组织补偿件5860的未对准。

可设想到导电元件5922层的其他使用。例如，可在导电元件592层中产生特定电阻，或者可实现电阻器或导体的二进制梯，使得可将简单的数据存储在组织补偿件5910中。当砧座和/或钉仓中任一者与导电元件5922层电联接时，可通过砧座和/或钉仓中的导电元件从组织补偿件5910提取该数据。该数据可表示例如序列号、“有效使用”日期等等。
用于检测误加载仓的霍尔磁体的极性
图108示出了包括磁体6008和霍尔效应传感器6010的端部执行器6000的一个实施方案，其中检测的磁场6016可用于识别钉仓6006。端部执行器6000类似于上述端部执行器300。端部执行器6000包括能够枢转地联接到第二钳口构件或细长通道6004的第一钳口构件或砧座6002。细长通道6004被构造成能够在其中支撑钉仓6006。钉仓6006类似于上述钉仓304。砧座6002还包括磁体6008。钉仓6006还包括霍尔效应传感器6010和处理器6012。霍尔效应传感器6010能够操作以通过传导联接件6014与处理器6012连通。霍尔效应传感器6010被定位在钉仓6006内以在砧座6002处于闭合位置时与磁体6008可操作地耦合。霍尔效应传感器6010可操作以检测由磁体6008产生的磁场6016。磁场6016的极性可为北极或南极中的一个，这取决于砧座6002内的磁体6008的取向。在图108的例示实施方案中，磁体6008被取向成使其南极朝向钉仓6006。霍尔效应传感器6010可操作以检测由南极产生的磁场6016。如果霍尔效应传感器6010检测到南磁极，则钉仓6006可被识别为具有第一类型。
图109示出了包括磁体6058和霍尔效应传感器6060的端部执行器6050的一个实施方案，其中检测的磁场6066可用于识别钉仓6056。端部执行器6050包括能够枢转地联接到第二钳口构件或细长通道6054的第一钳口构件或砧座6052。细长通道6054被构造成能够在其中支撑钉仓6056。砧座6052还包括磁体6058。钉仓6056还包括经由传导联接件6064与处理器6062连通的霍尔效应传感器6060。霍尔效应传感器6060被定位成使其在砧座6052处于闭合位置时将与磁体6058可操作地耦合。霍尔效应传感器6060可操作以检测由磁体6058产生的磁场6066。在例示的实施方案中，磁体6058被取向成使其北磁极朝向钉仓6056。霍尔效应传感器6060可操作以检测由北极产生的磁场6066。如果霍尔效应传感器6060检测到北磁极，则钉仓6056可被识别为第二类型。
可认识到，图109的第二类型钉仓6056可替换图108的第一类型钉仓6006，反之亦然。在图108中，第二类型钉仓6056将能够操作以检测北磁极，但相反将检测到南磁极。在这种情况下，端部执行器6000将识别钉仓6056为具有第二类型。如果端部执行器6000不期望第二类型的钉仓6056，则器械的操作者可被警示并且/或者器械的功能将被禁用。除此之外或另选地，钉仓6056的类型可用于识别钉仓6056的某个参数，例如，仓的长度和/或钉的高度和长度。
类似地，如图109所示，第一类型钉仓6006可替换第二钉仓6056。第一类型钉仓6006将能够操作以检测南磁极，但相反将检测到北磁极。在这种情况下，端部执行器6050将识别钉仓6006为具有第一类型。

图111示出了包括显示器6102的外科器械的外壳6100的一个实施方案。外壳6100类似于上述外壳12。显示器6102可操作以将下述信息传送给器械的操作者，例如，联接到端部执行器的钉仓不适用于本应用。除此之外或另选地，显示器6102可显示钉仓的参数，例如，仓的长度和/或钉的高度和长度。
图112示出了包括磁体6162的钉保持器6160的一个实施方案。钉保持器6160可操作地联接到钉仓6156并且用于阻止钉离开钉仓6156。当钉仓6156施加到端部执行器时，钉保持器6160可保留在适当的位置。在一些实施方案中，钉保持器6160包括定位在钉保持器6160的远侧区域中的磁体6162。端部执行器的砧座可包括霍尔效应传感器，该霍尔效应传感器可操作以与钉保持器6160的磁体6162耦合。霍尔效应传感器可操作以检测磁体6162的特性，例如，磁场强度和磁极性。可通过例如将磁体6162设置在钉保持器6160之上或之中的不同位置和/或深度处或通过选择具有不同组成的磁体6162来改变磁场强度。磁体6162的不同特性可用于识别不同类型的钉仓。
图113A和图113B示出了端部执行器6200的一个实施方案，该端部执行器包括用于识别不同类型的钉仓6206的传感器6208。端部执行器6200包括能够枢转地联接到第二钳口构件或细长通道6204的第一钳口构件或砧座6202。细长通道6204被构造成能够在其中支撑钉仓6206。端部执行器6200还包括定位在近侧区域中的传感器6208。传感器6208可为光学传感器、磁传感器、电传感器、或任何其他合适的传感器中的任一个。
传感器6208能够操作以检测钉仓6206的特性并且由此识别钉仓6206类型。图113B示出了其中传感器6208为光学发射器和检测器6210的示例。钉仓6206的主体可具有不同的颜色，使得颜色标识钉仓6206类型。光学发射器和检测器6210可操作以探询钉仓6206主体的颜色。在例示的实施方案中，光学发射器和检测器6210可通过接收到红色、绿色、和蓝色光谱中等强度的反射光来检测白色6212。光学发射器和检测器6210可通过接收到绿色和蓝色光谱中极少的反射光同时接收到红色光谱中较高强度的光来检测红色6214。
另选地或除此之外，光学发射器和检测器6210或另一个合适的传感器6208可探询和识别钉仓6206上的一些其他符号或标记。符号或标记可为条形码、形状或字符、颜色编码的标志、或任何其他合适的标记中的任一者。可将由传感器6208读取的信息传送给外科装置10中的微控制器，例如，微控制器1500。微控制器1500可被构造成能够将有关钉仓6206的信息传送给器械的操作者。例如，所识别的钉仓6206可不适用于给定应用；在这种情况下，器械的操作者可被告知并且/或者器械的功能不合适。在这种情况下，微控制器1500可任选地被构造成能够禁用外科器械的功能。另选地或除此之外，微控制器1500可被构造成能够向外科器械10的操作者通知所识别的钉仓6206类型的参数，例如，钉仓6206的长度、或有关钉的信息(例如，高度和长度)。
智能仓唤醒操作和数据保持
在一个实施方案中，本文所述的外科器械包括用于传感器和/或电子部件的短路保护技术。为了启用此类传感器和其他电子技术，在外科器械的模块化部件之间传输功率信号和数据信号。在模块化传感器部件的装配期间，被连接的用于在所连接部件之间传输功率信号和数据信号的电导体通常为暴露的。
图114为根据一个实施方案的具有电导体7002,7004的端部执行器7000的局部视图，该电导体用于在外科器械的连接部件之间传输功率和数据信号。这些电导体7002,7004可能变为短路并且因而损坏关键系统电子部件。图115为图114中所示的端部执行器7000的局部视图，其示出了定位在端部执行器中的传感器和/或电子部件7005。现在参考图114和图115，在本公开通篇公开的外科器械的各种实施方案中，本公开利用电子传感器提供有关组织的可压缩性和厚度的实施反馈。模块化架构将使得定制模块化轴的构型能够采用任务专用技术。为了启用外科器械中的传感器和其他电子电路部件，需要在包括模块化传感器和/或电子电路部件7005的第二电路之间传输功率和数据信号。在模块化传感器和/或电子部件7005的装配期间，电导体7002,7004被暴露，使得当被连接时，它们在所连接的传感器和/或电子部件7005之间传输功率和数据信号。因为这些电导体7002,7004在装配期间可能变为短路并且因而损坏其他系统电子电路，所以本文所述的外科器械的各种实施方案包括用于传感器和/或电子部件7005的短路保护技术。
在一个实施方案中，本公开提供了用于外科器械的第二电路的传感器和/或电子部件7005的短路保护电路7012。图116为根据一个实施方案的外科器械电子子系统7006的框图，该外科器械电子子系统包括用于传感器和/或电子部件7005的短路保护电路7012。主电源电路7010通过主电源端子7018,7020连接到包括微处理器和其他电子部件7008(在下文中，处理器7008)的主电路。主电源电路7010还连接到短路保护电路7012。短路保护电路7012联接到补充电源电路7014，该补充电源电路7014通过电导体7002,7004将功率供应给传感器和/或电子部件7005。
为了降低对连接到主电源端子7018,7020的处理器7008的损坏，在馈电给传感器和/或电子部件7005的电源端子的电导体7002,7004之间的短路期间，提供自隔离/恢复式短路保护电路7012。在一个实施方案中，可通过将补充电源电路7014联接到主电源电路7010来实现短路保护电路7012。在补充电源电路7014功率导体7002,7004短路的情况下，补充电源电路7014自身与主电源电路7010隔离以避免损坏外科器械的处理器7008。因此，当在补充电源电路7014的电导体7002,7004中发生短路时，实际上对联接到主电源端子7018,7020的处理器7008和其他电子电路部件没有影响。因此，如果在补充电源电路7014的电导体7002,7004之间发生短路，则主电源电路7010不受影响并且保持能够有效地将功率供应给受保护的处理器7008，使得处理器7008可监控短路状态。当补充电源电路7014的电导体7002,7004之间的短路被纠正时，补充电源电路7014重新接合主电源电路7010并且可再次用于将功率供应给传感器部件7005。还可监控短路保护电路7012以向外科器械的最终用户指示一个或多个短路状态。还可监控短路保护电路7012以在短路事件被指示时闭锁外科器械的击发。多个补充保护电路可网联在一起，以隔离、监控、或保护其他电路功能。
因此，在一个方面，本公开提供了用于端部执行器7000(图114和图115)中的电导体7002,7004或外科器械的其他元件的短路保护电路7012。在一个实施方案中，短路保护电路7012采用联接到主电源电路7010的补充的自隔离/恢复式电源电路7014。可监控短路保护电路7012以向外科器械的最终用户指示一个或多个短路状态。在短路情况下，短路保护电路7012可用于闭锁外科器械以防被击发或者闭锁其他装置操作。多个其他补充保护电路可网联在一起，以隔离、监控、或保护其他电路功能。
图117为根据一个实施方案的短路保护电路7012，该短路保护电路包括联接到主电源电路7010的补充电源电路7014。主电源电路7010包括变压器7023(X1)，该变压器联接到利用二极管91-94实现的全波整流器7025。全波整流器7025联接到稳压器7027。稳压器7027的输出(OUT)联接到主电源电路7010的输出端子7018,7020(OP1)和补充电源电路7014。输入电容器C1对稳压器7027中的输入电压进行滤波并且一个或多个电容器C2对稳压器7027的输出进行滤波。
在图117所示的实施方案中，补充电源电路7014包括被构造成能够控制电导体7002,7004之间的电源输出OP2的一对晶体管T1、T2。在电导体7002,7004未发生短路的正常操作期间，输出OP2将功率供应给传感器部件7005。一旦晶体管T1和T2开启(激活)并且开始传导电流，来自稳压器7027的输出端的电流就被第一晶体管T1分流，使得没有电流流过R1并且iR1＝0。稳压器的输出电压+V被施加到节点处，使得补充电源电路7014的输出电压OP2则为Vn～+V，并且第一晶体管T1驱动电流通过输出端子7002流到传感器部件7005，其中输出端子7004为电流返回路径。输出电流iR5的一部分转向穿过R5以驱动输出指示器LED2。流过LED2的电流为iR5。只要节点电压Vn高于开启(激活)第二晶体管T2所需的阈值，补充电源电路7014就用作馈电给传感器和/或电子部件7005的电源电路。
当第二电路的电导体7002,7004短路时，节点电压Vn下降到地电或零，并且第二晶体管T2关闭且停止导电，这关闭第一晶体管T1。当第一晶体管T1截断时，稳压器7027的输出电压+V导致电流iR1流过短路指示器LED1并且经由电导体7002,7004之间的短路流到地。因此，没有电流流过R5，并且iR5＝0A且+VOP2＝0V。补充电源电路7014自身与主电源电路7010隔离，直到短路被去除。在短路期间，仅短路指示器LED1被供电，而输出指示器LED2不被供电。当电导体7002,7004之间的短路被去除时，节点电压Vn上升，直到T2开启并且随后开启T1。当T1和T2开启(被偏置成导电状态，诸如，饱和)直到节点电压Vn达到+VOP2时，并且补充电源电路7014恢复其用于传感器部件7005的电源功能。一旦补充电源电路7014恢复其电源功能，短路指示器LED1就关闭并且输出指示器LED2就开启。如果在补充电源电路7014电导体7002,7004之间发生另一次短路，则重复该循环。
在一个实施方案中，提供了采样率监控器以在外科器械处于非感测状态时通过限制传感器的采用率和/或占空比来实现功率降低。图118为根据一个实施方案的外科器械电子子系统7022的框图，该外科器械电子子系统包括采样率监控器7024以在外科器械处于非感测状态时通过限制第二电路的传感器和/或电子部件7005的采样率和/或占空比来实现功率降低。如图118所示，外科器械电子子系统7022包括联接到主电源电路7010的处理器7008。主电源电路7010联接到采样率监控器电路7024。补充电源电路7014在通过电导体7002,7004对传感器和/或电子部件7005加电时联接到采样率监控器7024。包括处理器7008的主电路联接到装置状态监控器7026。在各种实施方案中，外科器械电子子系统7022利用传感器和/或电子部件7005提供有关组织的可压缩性和厚度的实时反馈，如本文此前所述。外科器械的模块化架构使得定制模块化轴的构型能够采用功能任务专用技术。为了启用此类附加功能，采用电子连接点和部件以在外科器械的模块化部件之间传输功率和信号。传感器和/或电子部件7005的数量的增加将提高外科器械系统7022的功率消耗并且由此需要用于降低外科器械系统7022的功率消耗的各种技术。
在一个实施方案中，为了降低功率消耗，被构造为具有传感器和/或电子部件7005(第二电路)的外科器械包括采样率监控器7024，该采样率监控器可实现为硬件电路或软件技术以降低传感器和/或电子部件7005的采样率和/或占空比。采样率监控器7024与装置状态监控器7026结合来操作。装置状态监控器7026感测外科器械的各种电子/机械子系统的状态。在图118所示的实施方案中，装置状态监控器7026感测端部执行器的状态处于未夹持(状态1)、正在夹持(状态2)、还是已夹持(状态3)操作状态。
采样率监控器7024基于由装置状态监控器7026确定的端部执行器的状态来设定传感器部件7005的采样率和/或占空比。在一个方面，采样率监控器7024可在端部执行器处于状态1时将占空比设定为约10％，在端部执行器处于状态2时将占空比设定为约50％，或者在端部执行器处于状态3时将占空比设定为约20％。在各种其他实施方案中，由采样率监控器7024设定的占空比和/或采样率可采用数值范围。例如，在另一方面，采样率监控器7024可在端部执行器处于状态1时将占空比设定为约5％至约15％，在端部执行器处于状态2时将占空比设定为约45％至约55％，或者在端部执行器处于状态3时将占空比设定为约15％至约25％。在各种其他实施方案中，由采样率监控器7024设定的占空比和/或采样率可采用另外的数值范围。例如，在另一方面，采样率监控器7024可在端部执行器处于状态1时将占空比设定为约1％至约20％，在端部执行器处于状态2时将占空比设定为约20％至约80％，或者在端部执行器处于状态3时将占空比设定为约1％至约50％。在各种其他实施方案中，由采样率监控器7024设定的占空比和/或采样率可采用另外的数值范围。
在一个方面，可通过产生联接到主电路/软件的补充电路/软件来实现采样率监控器7024。当补充电路/软件确定外科器械系统7022处于非感测状态时，采样率监控器7024使传感器和/或电子部件7005进入降低的采用或占空比模式，由此降低主电路上的功率负荷。主电源电路7010将仍能够有效地供应功率，使得主电路的受保护的处理器7008可监控状态。当外科器械系统7022进入需要较严格感测活动的状态时，采样率监控器7024提高补充电路采样率或占空比。电路可采用集成电路、固态部件、微处理器、或固件的混合物。还可监控降低采样率或占空比模式的电路以向外科器械系统7022的最终用户指示状态。还可监控电路/软件以在装置处于功率节省模式时闭锁装置的击发或功能。
在一个实施方案中，采样率监控器7024硬件电路或软件技术可降低用于传感器和/或电子部件7005的采样率和/或占空比以降低外科器械的功率消耗。可监控降低的采样率或占空比模式以向外科器械的最终用户指示一个或多个状态。如果在外科器械中出现降低的采样率和/或占空比状态，则保护电路/软件可被构造成能够闭锁外科器械以防被击发或以其他方式进行操作。
在一个实施方案中，本公开提供了用于外科器械中的传感器和/或电子部件的过流和/或过压保护电路。图119为根据一个实施方案的外科器械电子子系统7028的框图，该外科器械电子子系统包括用于外科器械的第二电路的传感器和/或电子部件7005的过流/过压保护电路7030。在各种实施方案中，外科器械电子子系统7028利用第二电路的传感器和/或电子部件7005提供有关组织的可压缩性和厚度的实时反馈，如本文此前所述。外科器械的模块化架构使得定制模块化轴的构型能够采用功能任务专用技术。为了启用传感器和/或电子部件7005，添加另外的电子连接点和部件以在模块化部件之间传输功率和信号。用于得自模块化部分的传感器和/或电子部件7005的这些另外导体可能短路和/或损坏，由此导致较大的电流消耗，这可损坏主电路的脆弱处理器7008电路和/或其他电子部件。在一个实施方案中，过流/过压保护电路7030利用联接到主电源电路7010的补充自隔离/恢复电路7014保护用于外科器械上的传感器和/或电子部件7005的导体。补充自隔离/恢复电路7014的一个实施方案的操作已结合图117进行描述，并且为本公开的简洁和清楚起见，将不在此处进行重复。
在一个实施方案中，为了减少感测外科器械中的大电流消耗期间的电子损坏，外科器械的电子子系统7028包括用于传感器和/或电子部件7005的导体的过流/过压保护电路7030。可通过产生联接到主电源电路7010的补充电路来实现过流/过压保护电路7030。就补充电路电导体7002,7004经受高于预期值的电流水平的情况而言，过流/过压保护电路7030隔离来自主电源电路7010的电流以避免损害。主电源电路7010将仍能够有效地供应功率，使得受保护的主处理器7008可监控状态。当补充电源电路7014的较大电流消耗被纠正时，补充电源电路7014重新接合主电源电路7010并且可用于将功率供应给传感器和/或电子部件7005(例如，第二电路)。过流/过压保护电路7030可采用集成电路、固态部件、微处理器、固件、断路器、熔断器、或PTC(正温度系数)型技术的混合物。
在各种实施方案中，还可监控过流/过压保护电路7030以向装置的最终用户指示过流/过压状态。还可监控过流/过压保护电路7030以在过流/过压状态事件被指示时闭锁外科器械的击发。还可监控过流/过压保护电路7030以向装置的最终用户指示一个或多个过流/过压组状态。如果在装置中出现过流/过压状态，则过流/过压保护电路7030可闭锁外科器械以防被击发或者闭锁外科器械的其他操作。
图120为根据一个实施方案的用于外科器械的第二电路的传感器和电子部件7005(图119)的过流/过压保护电路7030。在硬短路(SHORT)期间，过流/过压保护电路7030在过流/过压保护电路7030的输出端处提供电流路径，并且还通过由杂散电感LSTRAY驱动的旁路电容器CBYPASS提供用于后续电流的路径。
在一个实施方案中，过流/过压保护电路7030包括具有自动重置特性的电流限制开关7032。电流限制开关7032包括联接到放大器A的电流感测电阻器RCS。当放大器A感测到高于预先确定的阈值的浪涌电流时，放大器激活断路器CB以打开电流路径，由此中断浪涌电流。在一个实施方案中，可利用得自Maxim的MAX1558集成电路来实现具有自动重置特征的电流限制开关7032。电流限制开关7032具有自动重置特征。如果开关7032短路超过20ms，则自动重置特征闩锁该开关，从而节省系统功率。然后测试短路输出(SHORT)来确定短路何时被去除，以自动地重新启动该通道。低休眠供应电流(45μA)和待机电流(3μA)保持外科器械中的电池功率。具有自动重置安全特征结构的电流限制开关7032保持外科器械受到保护。内置热过载保护限制功率耗散和结点温度。精确的、可编程的电流限制电路保护输入源以防过载和短路状态。20ms的故障消隐使得电路能够忽略暂态故障，例如，热插拔电容负载时产生的故障，由此避免将假警报提供给主机系统。在一个实施方案中，具有自动重置特征的电流限制开关7032还提供反向电流保护电路，以在开关7032断开时阻止电流从输出端流到输入端。
在一个实施方案中，本公开提供了用于外科器械中的传感器和/或电子部件的反向极性保护。图121为根据一个实施方案的外科器械电子子系统7040的框图，该外科器械电子子系统具有用于第二电路的传感器和/或电子部件7005的反向极性保护电路7042。利用联接到主电源电路7010的本文称为补充电源电路7014的补充自隔离/恢复电路来提供反向极性保护以用于外科器械的暴露引线(电导体7002,7004)。可监控反向极性保护电路7042以向装置的最终用户指示一个或多个反向极性状态。如果反向极性被施加到装置，则保护电路7042可闭锁该装置以免被击发或闭锁其他装置关键操作。
在各种实施方案中，本文所述的外科器械利用传感器和/或电子部件7005提供有关组织的可压缩性和厚度的实时反馈。外科器械的模块化架构使得定制模块化轴的构型能够采用任务专用技术。为了传感器和/或电子部件7005，在模块化部件之间传输功率信号和数据信号。在模块化部件的装配期间，被连接的用于在所连接部件之间传输功率信号和数据信号的电导体通常为暴露的电导体。这些导体可能由反向极性进行加电。
因此，在一个实施方案中，外科器械电子子系统7040被构造成能够降低感测外科器械中的反向极性联接7044施加期间的电子损坏。外科器械电子子系统7040采用与暴露的电导体7002,7004内联的极性保护电路7042。在一个实施方案中，可通过产生联接到主电源电路7010的补充电源电路7014来实现极性保护电路7042。在补充电源电路7014电导体7002,7004由反向极性进行加电的情况下，其隔离来自主电源电路7010的功率以避免损坏。主电源电路7010将仍能够有效地供应功率，使得主电路的受保护的处理器7008可监控状态。当补充电源电路7014的反向极性被纠正时，补充电源电路7014重新接合主电源电路7010并且可用于将功率供应给第二电路。还可监控反向极性保护电路7042以向装置的最终用户指示反向极性状态。还可监控反向极性保护电路7042，以在反向极性事件被指示的情况下闭锁装置的击发。
图122为根据一个实施方案的用于外科器械的第二电路的传感器和/或电子部件7005的反向极性保护电路7042。在正常操作期间，继电器开关S1包括处于常闭(NC)位置的输出触点并且主电源电路7010(图121)的电池电压B1被施加到联接到第二电路的VOUT。二极管D1阻止电流流过继电器开关S1的线圈7046(电感器)。当电池B1的极性反向时，二极管D1导电并且电流流过继电器开关S1的线圈7046，由此对继电器开关S1供电，以将输出触点设置为常开(NO)位置并且从而使反向电压与联接到第二电路的VOUT断开连接。一旦开关S1处于NO位置，来自电池B1的正极端子的电流就流过LED D3和R1，以避免电池B1短接。二极管D2为夹持二极管，以防切换期间由线圈7046产生的尖峰。
在一个实施方案中，本文所述的外科器械利用用于模块化装置上的传感器的睡眠模式来提供功率降低技术。图123为根据一个实施方案的外科器械电子子系统7050的框图，该外科器械电子子系统利用用于传感器和/或电子部件7005的睡眠模式监控器7052实现功率降低。在一个实施方案中，用于第二电路的传感器和/或电子部件7005的睡眠模式监控器7052可实施为电路和/或软件程序以降低外科器械的功率消耗。可监控睡眠模式监控器7052保护电路以向装置的最终用户指示一个或多个睡眠模式状态。如果在装置中出现睡眠模式状态，则睡眠模式监控器7052保护电路/软件可被构造成能够锁定装置以防被击发或被用户操作。
在各种实施方案中，本文所述的外科器械利用电子传感器7005提供有关组织的可压缩性和厚度的实时反馈。外科器械的模块化架构使得外科器械被构造为具有采用任务专用技术的定制模块化轴。为了启用传感器和/或电子部件7005，可采用另外的电子连接点和部件以在模块化部件之间传输功率和数据信号。当传感器和/或电子部件7005的数量增加时，外科器械的功率消耗将增加，由此需要用于降低外科器械的功率消耗的技术。
在一个实施方案中，电子子系统7050包括用于传感器7005的睡眠模式监控器7052电路和/或软件，以降低感测外科器械的功率消耗。可通过产生联接到主电源电路7010的补充电源电路7014来实现睡眠模式监控器7052。装置监控器7054监控外科器械处于1＝未夹持状态、2＝正在夹持状态、还是3＝已夹持状态。当睡眠模式监控器7052软件确定外科器械处于非感测状态(1＝未夹持状态)时，睡眠模式监控器7052使第二电路的传感器和/或电子部件7005进入睡眠模式，以降低主电源电路7010上的功率负荷。主电源电路7010将仍能够有效地供应功率，使得主电路的受保护的处理器7008可监控状态。当外科器械进入需要传感器活动的状态时，补充电源电路7014被唤醒并且重新接合主电源电路7010。睡眠模式监控器7051电路可采用集成电路、固态部件、微处理器、和/或固件的混合物。还可监控睡眠模式监控器7051电路以向装置的最终用户指示状态。还可监控睡眠模式监控器7051电路以在装置处于功率节省模式时闭锁装置的击发或功能。
在一个实施方案中，本公开提供了保护以防模块化外科器械中的传感器和/或电子部件的功率丢失。图124为外科器械电子子系统7060的框图，该外科器械电子子系统包括临时性功率丢失电路7062以提供保护以防模块化外科器械中的传感器和/或电子部件7005的间歇性功率丢失。
在各种实施方案中，本文所述的外科器械利用传感器和/或电子部件7005提供有关组织的可压缩性和厚度的实时反馈。外科器械的模块化架构使得外科器械被构造为具有采用任务专用技术的定制模块化轴。为了启用传感器和/或电子部件7005，可采用另外的电子连接点和部件以在模块化部件之间传输电力和信号。当电连接点的数量增加时，传感器和/或电子部件7005经受短期间歇性功率丢失的可能性会增加。

另外，即使在明确叙述引入权利要求叙述的特定数目时，本领域的技术人员应当认识到，这种叙述通常应解释为意指至少所叙述的数目(例如，在没有其他修饰语的情况下，对“两个叙述”的裸叙述通常意指至少两个叙述、或两个或更多个叙述)。此外，在其中使用类似于“A、B和C中的至少一者等”的惯例的那些情况下，一般而言，这种结构意在具有本领域的技术人员将理解所述惯例的意义(例如，“具有A、B和C中的至少一者的系统”将包括但不限于具有仅A、仅B、仅C、A和B一起、A和C一起、B和C一起和/或A、B和C一起等的系统)。在其中使用类似于“A、B或C中的至少一者等”的惯例的那些情况下，一般而言，这种结构意在具有本领域的技术人员将理解所述惯例的意义(例如，“具有A、B或C中的至少一者的系统”将包括但不限于具有仅A、仅B、仅C、A和B一起、A和C一起、B和C一起和/或A、B和C一起等的系统)。本领域的技术人员还应当理解，通常，除非上下文另有指示，否则无论在具体实施方式、权利要求或附图中呈现两个或更多个替代术语的转折性词语和/或短语应理解为涵盖包括所述术语中的一者、所述术语中的任一个或这两个术语的可能性。例如，短语“A或B”通常将被理解为包括“A”或“B”或“A和B”的可能性。
对于所附的权利要求，本领域的技术人员将会理解，其中表述的操作通常可以任何顺序进行。另外，尽管以一定顺序列出了多个操作流程，但应当理解，可以不同于所示顺序的其他顺序进行所述多个操作，或者可以同时进行所述多个操作。除非上下文另有规定，否则此类替代排序的例子可包括重叠、交错、中断、重新排序、增量、预备、补充、同时、反向，或其他改变的排序。此外，除非上下文另有规定，否则像“响应于”、“相关”这样的术语或其他过去式的形容词通常不旨在排除此类变体。
