Description
背景技术
本发明涉及外科器械,并且在各种实施方案中,涉及外科缝合和切割器械以及与其一起使用的钉仓。
缝合器械可包括一对协同工作的细长钳口构件,其中每个钳口构件适于插入患者体内并且相对于待缝合和/或切入的组织定位。在各种实施方案中,钳口构件中的一者可支撑其中容纳有至少两个侧向地隔开的钉排的钉仓,并且另一个钳口构件可支撑具有与钉仓中的钉排对准的钉成形凹坑的砧座。一般来讲,缝合器械还可包括推杆和刀片,该推杆和刀片能够相对于钳口构件滑动以经由推杆上的凸轮表面和/或由推杆推动的楔形滑动件上的凸轮表面将钉从钉仓中依次射出。在至少一个实施方案中,凸轮表面可被构造成能够启动由仓承载并与钉相关联的多个钉驱动器,以便推动钉抵靠在砧座上并且在夹持于钳口构件之间的组织中形成侧向隔开的变形钉排。在至少一个实施方案中,刀片可跟随凸轮表面并且沿着钉排之间的路线切割组织。
上述讨论仅是为了举例说明本发明的领域中相关技术目前的每个方面,而不应当视为对权利要求范围的否定。

图1示出了外科器械10的外壳12和柄部14,该外科器械具有可操作地联接至其的可互换细长轴组件200。如图1中可看到的那样,柄部14可包括一对可互连的柄部外壳段16和18,这对柄部外壳段可借助螺钉、按扣特征结构、粘合剂等互连。在示出的构造中,柄部外壳段16和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可操作地支撑其中的多个驱动系统,这些驱动系统被构造成能够生成各种控制动作并将这些控制动作施加到可操作地附接到其上的可互换轴组件的对应部分。
现在参见图2,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细长轴组件200。在至少一种形式中,闭合驱动系统30可包括被框架20可枢转地支撑的闭合触发器32形式的致动器。更具体地,如图2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可由弹簧或其它偏压布置(未示出)偏压到未致动位置中。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2中可看到的那样,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的第一闭合连接件36和第二闭合连接件38。第二闭合连接件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2,可观察到,第一闭合连接件36可在其上具有锁定壁或锁定端部39,该锁定壁或锁定端部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,第一闭合连接件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接件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。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解锁以允许其被偏压到未致动位置时,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接件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接件36脱离接合时,闭合触发器32可枢转回到未致动位置。也可采用其它闭合触发器锁定构造和释放构造。
当闭合触发器32被从其未致动位置运动到其致动位置时,闭合释放按钮62在第一位置和第二位置之间枢转。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。仍然参见图2,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被从其第一位置旋转到其第二位置时,磁性元件63可朝电路板100运动。电路板100可包括至少一个传感器,所述至少一个传感器被构造成能够检测磁性元件63的运动。在至少一个实施方案中,“霍尔效应”传感器可安装到电路板100的底部表面。霍耳效应传感器可被构造成能够检测由磁性元件63的运动所引起的环绕霍耳效应传感器周围的磁场的变化。霍耳效应传感器可与例如微控制器进行信号通信,该微控制器可确定闭合释放按钮62是否处于其与闭合触发器32的未致动位置和端部执行器的打开构型相关联的第一位置、其与闭合触发器32的致动位置和端部执行器的闭合构型相关联的第二位置、和/或第一位置与第二位置之间的任何位置。
同样在所示出的构造中,柄部14和框架20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也可在本文中被称为“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例如可以是具有约25,000RPM的最大旋转的DC有刷驱动马达。在其它构造中,马达可包括无刷马达、无绳马达、同步马达、步进马达、或任何其它合适的电动马达。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2中可看到的那样,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成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被构造成能够可操作地支撑其中的多个电池98。电池98可各自包括例如锂离子(“LI”)或其它合适的电池。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。除此之外,功率源90可以是可替换的和/或可再充电的。
如上面相对于其它各种形式所概述,电动马达82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可纵向运动的驱动构件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在一个方向上旋转时,驱动构件120将在远侧方向“DD”上轴向地驱动。当马达82在相反的旋转方向上被驱动时,驱动构件120将在近侧方向“PD”上轴向地驱动。柄部14可包括开关,该开关被构造成能够使由功率源90施加到电动马达82的极性反转。与本文所述的其它形式一样,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正在运动的方向。
马达82的致动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可由弹簧132或其它偏压构造偏压到未致动位置中,使得当临床医生释放击发触发器130时,击发触发器可由弹簧132或偏压构造枢转或以其它方式返回到未致动位置。在至少一种形式中,击发触发器130可如上所述被定位在闭合触发器32的“外侧”。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,并具有从其突起的枢转臂136。参见图2。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触及该按钮,也无法将该按钮在防止对击发触发器130致动的安全位置与击发触发器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包括闭合触发器32和击发触发器130。击发触发器130能够可枢转地安装到闭合触发器32。如上文所概述,当闭合触发器32从其未致动位置向其致动位置运动时,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,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,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。
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驱动齿122,以用于与齿轮减速器组件84的相应驱动齿轮86啮合。至少一种形式还包括可手动致动的被构造成能够使得临床医生能够在马达82变得失效情况下手动地缩回能够纵向运动的驱动构件120的“救助”组件140。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。美国专利申请公开号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它部件、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8,608,045)据此全文以引用方式并入。
现在转到图1和图3,细长轴组件200包括外科端部执行器300,所述外科端部执行器包括被构造成能够在其中可操作地支撑钉仓304的细长通道302。端部执行器300还可包括相对于细长通道302被可枢转地支撑的砧座310。如将在下文进一步详细讨论的,外科端部执行器300可以围绕关节运动接头270相对于细长轴组件进行关节运动。如图3和图4中可看到的那样,轴组件200还可包括由喷嘴部分202和203组成的近侧外壳或喷嘴201。轴组件200还包括闭合管260,该闭合管可用于闭合和/或打开端部执行器300的砧座310。如图4中可看到的那样,轴组件200包括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的脊210。有关于关节运动锁350的构建与操作的细节阐述于名称为“ARTICULATABLESURGICAL INSTRUMENT COMPRISING AN ARTICULATION LOCK”的美国专利申请序列号13/803,086中,现为美国专利申请公布2014/0263541,其公开内容据此以引用方式并入本文。脊210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还能够以滑动方式支撑近侧关节运动驱动器230。近侧关节运动驱动器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。在一种构造中,关节运动锁350与关节运动框架352交接,该关节运动框架适于可操作地接合端部执行器框架(未示出)上的驱动销(未示出)。
在所示出的构造中,脊210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3。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。轴组件200还包括可滑动地支撑在底盘240内使得闭合梭动件可相对于底盘轴向地运动的闭合梭动件250。如图3中可看到的那样,闭合梭动件250包括被构造成用于附接到附接销37的一对朝近侧突起的钩252,该附接销附接到第二闭合连接件38,如将在下文更详细所述的。参见图2。闭合管260的近侧端部261联接到闭合梭动件250,以相对于闭合梭动件旋转。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3。此类构造用于将闭合管260附接到闭合梭动件250,以与闭合梭动件一起轴向行进,同时使得闭合管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”偏压闭合管260,当轴组件200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。
同样如上所述,细长轴组件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包括被构造成用于附接到远侧切割部分或击发梁280的中间击发轴部分222。击发构件220在本文中也可被称为“第二轴”和/或“第二轴组件”。如图4中可看到的那样,中间击发轴部分222可包括可被构造成能够接纳远侧击发梁280的近侧端部282上的突出部284的其远侧端部中的纵向狭槽223。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它们之间的相对运动并且可包括滑动接头286。滑动接头286可允许击发驱动器220的中间击发轴部分222运动成使外科端部执行器300进行关节运动,而不运动或至少基本上不运动击发梁280。一旦外科端部执行器300已适当地取向,则中间击发轴部分222可朝远侧推进,直到纵向狭槽223的近侧侧壁与突片284发生接触,以便推进击发梁280并且击发端部执行器300中所支撑的钉仓。如图4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,以利于将中间击发轴部分222组装和插入到轴框架210中。一旦中间击发轴部分222已插入到其中,则顶部框架片段215可与轴框架212接合,以将中间击发轴部分222和击发梁280包封在其中。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,现为美国专利申请公布2014/0263541。
除上述之外,所示轴组件200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的近侧运动可使近侧关节运动驱动器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的运动不传递到近侧关节运动驱动器230,因此,击发构件220可独立于近侧关节运动驱动器230运动。在各种情况下,当击发构件220没有使近侧关节运动驱动器230在近侧或远侧方向上运动时,近侧关节运动驱动器230可被关节运动锁350保持就位。
如图4中可进一步看到的那样,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、被构造成能够接纳击发构件220的纵向开孔403。锁定套管402可包括沿直径相对的、面朝内的锁定突起404和面朝外的锁定构件406。锁定突起404可被构造成能够与击发构件220选择性地接合。更具体地讲,当锁定套管402处于其接合位置时,锁定突起404位于限定于击发构件220中的驱动凹口224内,使得远侧推力和/或近侧推力可从击发构件220传递至锁定套管402。当锁定套管402处于其接合位置时,第二锁定构件406被接纳在近侧关节运动驱动器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近侧关节运动驱动器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和近侧关节运动驱动器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可不位于击发构件220的驱动凹口224内;并且因此,远侧推力和/或近侧推力可不从击发构件220传递至锁定套管402。相应地,远侧推力和/或近侧拉力可以不传递至近侧关节运动驱动器230。在此类情况下,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4中也可看到的那样,细长轴组件200还可包括被可旋转地接纳在闭合管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接纳在其中。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与近侧关节运动驱动器230接合时,利于该锁定套管做轴向运动。旋转扭簧420被构造成能够接合切换筒500上的轴凸台504和喷嘴外壳203的一部分,以将偏压力施加到切换筒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向的开口506,这些开口可被构造成能够接纳从喷嘴部分202,203延伸的周向安装架,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。安装座还延伸穿过待安置在轴脊210中的凹槽中的闭合管260中的开口266。然而,喷嘴201至其中安装座到达其在切换筒500中的相应狭槽506的端部的点的旋转将导致切换筒500围绕轴轴线SA-SA的旋转。切换筒500的旋转最终将导致致动销410和锁定套管402在其接合位置和脱离位置之间的旋转。因此,实质上,喷嘴201可用于以在美国专利申请序列号13/803,086(现为美国专利申请公布2014/0263541)中更详细描述的各种方式来使关节运动驱动系统与击发驱动系统操作地接合和脱离接合。
也如图3至图4所示,细长轴组件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/或者将信号传送至外科端部执行器300和/或从该外科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可安装在远侧连接器凸缘601的近侧侧面上,并可具有多个触点(未示出),其中每个触点与导体602中的一者对应并与其电接触。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可朝近侧延伸穿过底座安装凸缘242中限定的连接器开口243。参见图7。提交于2013年3月13日的名称为“STAPLE CARTRIDGE TISSUE THICKNESS SENSORSYSTEM”的美国专利申请序列号13/800,067,现为美国专利申请公布2014/0263552以引用的方式全文并入本文。提交于2013年3月13日的名称为“STAPLE CARTRIDGE TISSUETHICKNESS SENSOR SYSTEM”的美国专利申请序列号13/800,025,现为美国专利申请公布2014/0263551以引用的方式全文并入本文。有关滑环组件600的进一步细节可见于美国专利申请序列号13/803,086,现为美国专利申请公布2014/0263541。
如上文所讨论,细长轴组件200可包括可固定地安装到柄部14的近侧部分,以及可围绕纵向轴轴线SA-SA旋转的远侧部分。可旋转远侧轴部分可如上所述围绕滑动环组件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(即,近侧关节运动驱动器230)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(即,近侧关节运动驱动器230)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5500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。
再次参见图4,闭合管组件260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272。上部双枢轴连接件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。下部双枢轴连接件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。还参见图6。
图5至图8图示了外科端部执行器300的一种形式,其被构造成能够可操作地附接到上述类型的外科器械的细长轴组件或者包括闭合系统的其它外科器械构造,该闭合系统被构造成能够产生控制动作以供轴向地运动闭合构件,该闭合构件被构造成能够向外科端部执行器的一些部分施加闭合和打开运动。在所示的实施例中,如将在下文进一步详细讨论的,外科端部执行器被构造成能够围绕通常标示为339的关节运动接头相对于细长轴组件的近侧部分进行关节运动。然而,其它构造可能不能够进行关节运动。如图6中可看到的那样,关节运动接头339限定了关节运动轴线B-B,外科端部执行器300可围绕该关节运动轴线选择性地进行关节运动。在所示的实施例中,关节运动轴线B-B基本上横向于细长轴组件的轴轴线SA-SA。
图示的外科端部执行器300包括第一钳口308和第二钳口309,该第二钳口能够相对于第一钳口308在打开位置(图7)和各种闭合位置(图8)之间选择性地运动。在图示实施方案中,第一钳口308包括细长通道302,该细长通道被构造成能够在细长通道中可操作地支撑外科钉仓304,并且第二钳口309包括砧座310。然而,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围的情况下,也可以采用其它外科钳口构造。如图5中可看到的那样,支撑盘305可以附接到外科钉仓304,以向其提供额外的支撑,从而也防止形成于外科钉仓304中的钉凹坑306中所支撑的钉驱动器(未示出)在使用之前从外科钉仓中落出。如图5中可看到的那样,细长通道302具有包括两个直立侧壁322的近侧端部部分320。砧座310包括砧座主体312,该砧座主体上形成有钉成形底面313。砧座主体的近侧端部314被击发构件狭槽315分为两部分,从而限定了一对砧座附接臂316。每个砧座附接臂316包括倾斜的上表面321,并且包括侧向突起的砧座耳轴317和限定凸轮表面或“开槽凸轮表面”319的凸轮狭槽318。参见图5。其中一个凸轮狭槽318在本文中可称为“第一凸轮狭槽”,其凸轮表面被称为“第一凸轮表面”。类似地,另一个凸轮狭槽318可称为“第二凸轮狭槽”,其凸轮表面在本文中称为“第二凸轮表面”。耳轴孔324设置在细长通道302的每个侧壁322中,用于将砧座耳轴317中对应的一者接纳在其中。这种构造用于将砧座310可动地附连到细长通道302,以供围绕由耳轴孔324限定的且横向于轴轴线SA-SA的砧座轴线A-A选择性地枢转行进。参见图6。
在图示构造中,砧座310通过一对开口凸轮354相对于细长通道302和支撑在其中的外科钉仓304而枢转地运动到打开位置,这一对开口凸轮可以可移除地支撑在砧座致动器构件中,或者可移除地附接到砧座致动器构件,或者永久地附接到砧座致动器构件,又或者整体地形成在砧座致动器构件中。在所示实施方案中,砧座致动器构件包括端部执行器闭合套管272。参见图5。每个开口凸轮354包括外主体部分356,该外主体部分具有从其向内突起的凸轮突片358。在至少一种构造中,外主体部分356被构造成能够按扣在端部执行器闭合套管272中所形成的对应凸轮孔355内可移除的接合部中。例如,外主体部分356可包括斜截角的止挡部分357,该止挡部分被构造成能够以按扣形式接合限定凸轮孔355的端部执行器闭合套管壁的相应部分。外主体部分356的另一部分可具有形成在其上的折线形特征结构359,其被构造成能够被接纳在与凸轮孔355相邻的端部执行器闭合套管272的一部分内。也可以采用其它按扣突片构造将外主体部分356可移除地附连到端部执行器闭合套管272。在其它构造中,例如,外主体部分可以不被构造成用于按扣地与端部执行器闭合套管272接合。在此类构造中,外主体部分可以通过环形卷曲环而保持到位,该环形卷曲环在开口凸轮的整个外主体部分上围绕端部执行器闭合套管的外周长延伸,并且被压接在适当位置。该卷曲环用于将外部主体部分夹紧在端部执行器闭合套管的外表面上。为了给端部执行器闭合套管提供相对平滑或不间断的外表面(这可以有利地避免相邻组织遭到损坏和/或在这些部件之间收集组织/流体等),实际上卷曲环可以卷曲到形成于端部执行器闭合套管中的环形凹陷部中。
当开口凸轮350安装在端部执行器闭合套管272中时,每个凸轮突片358延伸穿过细长通道302的对应侧壁322中的细长狭槽326,该细长通道被接纳在砧座310中的对应凸轮狭槽318中。参见图6。在此类构造中,开口凸轮350在端部执行器闭合套管中沿直径彼此相对。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310。当闭合管260沿远侧方向“DD”平移时,砧座310闭合,从而使端部执行器闭合套管272的远侧端部275与砧座主体312上的闭合唇缘311接触。具体地讲,随着闭合管260向远侧运动以开始使砧座310枢转到闭合位置,端部执行器闭合套管272的远侧端部275跨置在砧座附接臂316的上表面321上。例如,在一种构造中,砧座310的闭合完全由端部执行器闭合套管272与砧座310的接触而引起,而不是由开口凸轮与砧座的相互作用所引起。然而,在其它构造中,当闭合管260向远侧运动时,开口凸轮可被布置成也向砧座施加闭合运动。砧座310通过在近侧方向“PD”上将闭合管260向近侧平移而打开,这导致凸轮突片358沿近侧方向“PD”在凸轮表面319上的凸轮狭槽318内运动,以使砧座310枢转到如图6和图7所示的打开位置中。
即使在载荷下,外科端部执行器实施方案300也会采用两个开口凸轮来实现端部执行器钳口的正向打开。在不脱离本发明的精神和范围的情况下,可以想到其它构造仅使用一个开口凸轮或两个以上的开口凸轮。在图示的示例中,开口凸轮可移除地附连到端部执行器闭合套管,这有利于将外科端部执行器部件轻易地组装或附接到细长轴组件,以及轻易地将它们拆卸下来。此类构型还使得人们能够使用更紧凑或更短的关节运动接头构造,这进一步促进了在患者体内的有限空间内更好地操纵外科端部执行器。为了便于将那些按扣到位的开口凸轮轻易地分离,可以在端部执行器闭合套管中设置额外的巧妙放置的孔,以使得撬状构件能够从其中插入,从而将开口凸轮从端部执行器闭合套管撬出。在其它构造中,开口凸轮可以一体地形成在砧座致动器构件或端部执行器闭合套管中。例如,开口凸轮可各自包括突片,该突片被切入或以其它方式形成到砧座致动器构件或端部执行器闭合套管的壁中,然后向内弯曲、卷曲或永久变形,以便接合第二钳口上的对应凸轮表面。例如,突片可相对于端部执行器闭合套管的外壁以九十度向内弯曲。此类构造避免了对单独的开口凸轮部件的需要。其它变型形式可以采用附接到第二钳口的一个或多个销,这些销被构造成能够跨置在第一钳口上的对应凸轮表面。例如,一个或多个销可以被压入第一钳口中,被滚花,然后压入和/或焊接到第一钳口上。虽然已经在外科端部执行器的上下文中对上述开口凸轮构造进行了描述,其中该外科端部执行器被构造成能够支撑外科钉仓并且包括被构造成能够相对于外科钉仓运动的砧座,但读者将理解,开口凸轮构造也可以与具有可相对于彼此运动的钳口的其它端部执行器构造一起采用。
图9和图10示出了标示为200'的细长轴组件,其采用了上述细长轴组件200的许多特征。在图示的示例中,细长轴组件200'包括标示为800的双关节运动连接件构造,其采用与上述关节运动锁350类似的关节运动锁810。关节运动锁810的不同于关节运动锁350的并且为理解关节运动锁350的操作可能所需的那些部件将在下面进一步详细讨论。有关于关节运动锁350的另外细节可见于名称为“ARTICULATABLE SURGICAL INSTRUMENTCOMPRISING AN ARTICULATION LOCK”的美国专利申请序列号13/803,086,现为美国专利申请公布2014/0263541,其全部公开内容据此以引用方式并入本文。关节运动锁810可被构造成能够并操作以选择性地将外科端部执行器300锁定在各种关节运动位置。当关节运动锁810处于其解锁状态时,这种构造使外科端部执行器300能够相对于轴闭合管260旋转或做关节运动。
如上所述,当近侧关节运动驱动器230经由离合器系统400与击发构件220操作地接合时,击发构件220可使近侧关节运动驱动器230朝近侧和/或朝远侧运动。例如,击发构件220的近侧运动可使近侧关节运动驱动器230朝近侧运动,并且类似地,击发构件220的远侧运动可使近侧关节运动驱动器230朝远侧运动。近侧关节运动驱动器230的运动,无论其为近侧或远侧,可解锁关节运动锁810,如下文更详细的描述。如图9中可看到的那样,例如,细长轴组件200'包括轴框架812,其在一定程度上与第一远侧关节运动驱动器820共同延伸。第一远侧关节运动驱动器820被支撑在细长轴组件200'内,以供响应于施加到其上的对应关节运动控制动作而在远侧方向“DD”和近侧方向“PD”上选择性地纵向行进。轴框架812包括其上具有向下突出的枢轴销(未示出)的远侧端部部分814,该枢轴销适于被枢转地接纳在形成于细长通道302的近侧端部部分320中的枢轴孔328内。参见例如图5中所示的类似构造。这种构造有助于外科端部执行器300的细长通道302围绕由枢轴孔328限定的关节运动轴线B-B相对于轴框架812枢转行进。如上所述,关节运动轴线B-B横向于由细长轴组件200’所限定的轴轴线SA-SA。
再次参见图9,第一远侧关节运动驱动器820可包括第一或远侧锁定腔822和第二或近侧锁定腔824,其中第一锁定腔822和第二锁定腔824可通过中间框架构件825分开。关节运动锁810还可包括被至少部分地定位在第一锁定腔822内的至少一个第一锁定元件826,该至少一个第一锁定元件可被构造成能够抑制或防止第一远侧关节运动驱动器820的近侧运动。在图9所示的实施方案中,例如,在第一锁定腔822内定位有可全部以类似、平行的方式作用并且可以可协作地充当单个锁定元件的三个第一锁定元件826。设想可利用多于三个或少于三个第一锁定元件826的其它实施方案。类似地,关节运动锁810还可包括被至少部分地定位在第二锁定腔824内的至少一个第二锁定元件828,该至少一个第二锁定元件可被构造成能够抑制或防止第一远侧关节运动驱动器820的远侧运动。就图9所示的具体实施方案而言,在第二锁定腔824内定位有可全部以类似、平行的方式作用并且可以可协作地充当单个锁定元件的三个第二锁定元件828。设想可利用多于三个或少于三个第二锁定元件828的其它实施方案。
除上述之外,主要参见图9,每个第一锁定元件826以能够滑动方式被支撑在框架导轨830上并且包括锁定柄脚827。每个第一锁定元件826在其中具有锁定开孔(未示出),用于接纳框架导轨830穿过其中。锁定柄脚827可设置在第一锁定腔822内,并且锁定开孔能够与安装到轴框架812的框架导轨830可滑动地接合。第一锁定元件826不以与框架导轨830垂直的布置取向;相反,第一锁定元件826以相对于框架导轨830的非垂直的角度布置和对齐,使得锁定开孔的边缘或侧壁与框架导轨830接合。此外,锁定开孔的侧壁与框架导轨830之间的相互作用可在两者间产生抵抗力或摩擦力,该抵抗力或摩擦力可抑制第一锁定元件826与框架导轨830之间的相对运动,并且因此抵抗施加到第一远侧关节运动驱动器820的近侧推力P。换句话讲,第一锁定元件826可防止或至少部分地抑制外科端部执行器300在箭头821指示的方向上旋转。如果将扭矩沿箭头821的方向施加到端部执行器300,则近侧推力P将被传递到远侧关节运动驱动器820。近侧推力P将仅用来支持第一锁定元件826与框架导轨830之间的锁定接合。更具体地,近侧推力P可传递至第一锁定元件826的柄脚827,这可导致第一锁定元件826旋转并减小限定在第一锁定元件826与框架导轨830之间的角度,并且因此增强锁定开孔的侧壁与框架导轨830之间的咬合力。最后,第一锁定元件826可将第一远侧关节运动驱动器820的运动锁定在一个方向上。
要释放第一锁定元件826并允许外科端部执行器300以箭头821指示的方向旋转,可将近侧关节运动驱动器230朝近侧拉动以使第一锁定元件826伸直或至少基本上伸直成垂直或至少基本上垂直的位置。在此位置,锁定开孔的侧壁和框架导轨830之间的咬合力或阻力可被充分地减小或消除,使得第一远侧关节运动驱动器820可朝近侧运动。要使第一锁定元件826伸直,可将近侧关节运动驱动装置230朝近侧拉动,使得近侧关节运动驱动装置230的远侧臂233接触第一锁定元件826,从而将第一锁定元件826拉动并旋转至其伸直位置。在各种情况下,可将近侧关节运动驱动器230继续朝近侧牵拉,直到从其延伸的近侧臂235接触或邻接第一远侧关节运动驱动器820的近侧驱动壁832,并将该远侧关节运动驱动器820朝近侧牵拉,以使外科端部执行器300进行关节运动。本质上,可将近侧拉力从近侧关节运动驱动器230通过近侧臂235和近侧驱动壁832之间的相互作用施加到远侧关节运动驱动器820,其中此类拉力可通过第一远侧驱动构件820传递至端部执行器300,如将在下文所述,以使端部执行器300沿箭头821指示的方向进行关节运动。在外科端部执行器300已沿箭头821的方向适当地进行关节运动之后,在各种情况下,可将第一远侧关节运动驱动器820释放,以允许关节运动锁810将第一远侧关节运动驱动器820和外科端部执行器300重新锁定就位。
同时,再次参见图9,当第一锁定元件826如上所述锁定和解锁时,第二锁定元件828可保留在倾斜位置。读者将理解,尽管第二锁定元件828相对于轴导轨830以成角度位置布置和对齐,但第二锁定元件828不被构造成能够阻碍或至少基本上阻碍第一远侧关节运动驱动器820的近侧运动。当第一远侧关节运动驱动器820和关节运动锁810如上所述朝近侧滑动时,在各种情况下,第二锁定元件828可沿框架导轨830朝远侧滑动,而不改变或至少基本上不改变其相对于框架导轨830的成角度对齐。当第二锁定元件828允许第一远侧关节运动驱动器820和关节运动锁810的近侧运动时,第二锁定元件828被构造成能够选择性地阻止或至少抑制第一远侧关节运动驱动器820的远侧运动,如下文更详细地讨论。
每个第二锁定元件828可包括锁定开孔(未示出)和锁定柄脚829。锁定柄脚829可被设置在第二锁定腔824内,并且锁定开孔可与安装到轴框架812的框架导轨830可滑动地接合。框架导轨830延伸穿过第二锁定元件828中的开孔。第二锁定元件828没有取向为与框架导轨830垂直布置;相反,第二锁定元件828以相对于框架导轨830的非垂直的角度布置和对齐,使得锁定开孔的边缘或侧壁与框架导轨830接合。此外,锁定开孔的侧壁与框架导轨830之间的相互作用可在两者之间产生阻力或摩擦力,这可抑制第二锁定元件828与框架导轨830之间的相对运动,从而抵抗施加到第一远侧关节运动驱动器820的远侧力D。换句话讲,第二锁定元件828可防止或至少部分地抑制外科端部执行器300在箭头823指示的方向上旋转。如果将扭矩沿箭头823的方向施加到端部执行器300,则远侧拉力D将被传递到第一远侧关节运动驱动器820。远侧拉力D将仅用来支持第二锁定元件828与框架导轨830之间的锁定接合。更具体地,远侧拉力D可传递至第二锁定元件828的柄脚829,这可导致第二锁定元件828旋转并减小限定在第二锁定元件828和框架导轨830之间的角度,从而增强锁定开孔的侧壁与框架导轨830之间的咬合力。最后,第二锁定元件828可将第一远侧关节运动驱动器820的运动锁定在一个方向上。
要释放第二锁定元件828并允许外科端部执行器300以箭头823指示的方向进行关节运动,可将近侧关节运动驱动装置230朝远侧推动以使第二锁定元件828伸直或至少基本上伸直成垂直或至少基本上垂直的位置。在此位置,锁定开孔的侧壁和框架导轨830之间的咬合力或阻力可被充分减小或消除,使得第一远侧关节运动驱动器820可朝远侧运动。要使第二锁定元件828伸直,可将近侧关节运动驱动器230朝远侧推动,使得近侧关节运动驱动器230的近侧臂235接触第二锁定元件828,从而将第二锁定元件828推动并旋转至其伸直位置。在各种情况下,可将近侧关节运动驱动器230继续朝远侧推动,直到从其延伸的远侧臂233接触或邻接第一远侧关节运动驱动器820的远侧驱动壁833,并将该第一远侧关节运动驱动器820朝远侧推动,以使外科端部执行器300进行关节运动。本质上,可将远侧推力从近侧关节运动驱动器230通过远侧臂233和远侧驱动壁833之间的相互作用施加到第一远侧关节运动驱动器820,其中此类推力可通过第一远侧关节运动驱动器820传递,以使端部执行器300沿箭头823指示的方向进行关节运动。在外科端部执行器300已沿箭头823的方向适当地进行关节运动之后,在各种情况下,可将第一远侧关节运动驱动器820释放,以允许关节运动锁810将第一远侧关节运动驱动器820和外科端部执行器300重新锁定就位。
同时,当第二锁定元件828如上所述锁定和解锁时,第一锁定元件826可保留在倾斜位置。读者将理解,尽管第一锁定元件826相对于轴导轨830以成角度位置布置和对齐,但第一锁定元件826不被构造成能够阻碍或至少基本上阻碍第一远侧关节运动驱动器820的远侧运动。当第一远侧关节运动驱动器820和关节运动锁810如上所述朝远侧滑动时,在各种情况下,第一锁定元件826可沿框架导轨830朝远侧滑动,而不改变或至少基本上不改变其相对于框架导轨830的成角度对齐。当第一锁定元件826允许第一远侧关节运动驱动器820和关节运动锁810的远侧运动时,第一锁定元件826被构造成能够选择性地阻止或至少抑制第一远侧关节运动驱动器820的近侧运动,如上文所讨论。
根据上文,处于锁定状态的关节运动锁810被构造成能够抵抗第一远侧关节运动驱动器820的近侧运动和远侧运动。在阻力方面,关节运动锁810被构造成能够阻止或至少基本上阻止第一远侧关节运动驱动器820的近侧运动和远侧运动。总的来说,当第一锁定元件826处于其锁定取向时,第一远侧关节运动驱动器820的近侧运动被第一锁定元件826抵抗,并且当第二锁定元件828处于其锁定取向时,第一远侧关节运动驱动器820的远侧运动被第二锁定元件828抵抗,如上所述。换句话说,第一锁定元件826包括第一单向锁,并且第二锁定元件828包括沿相反方向锁定的第二单向锁。
结合图9和图10所示的示例性实施方案进行讨论,近侧关节运动驱动装置230的初始近侧运动可以解锁第一远侧关节运动驱动器820和关节运动锁810的近侧运动,而近侧关节运动驱动器230的进一步近侧运动可以朝近侧驱动第一远侧关节运动驱动器820和关节运动锁810。相似地,近侧关节运动驱动器230的初始远侧运动可解锁第一远侧关节运动驱动器820和关节运动锁810的远侧运动,而近侧关节运动驱动器230的进一步远侧运动可朝远侧驱动第一远侧关节运动驱动器820和关节运动锁810。结合以下公开的多个其它示例性实施方案讨论了这种一般概念。根据上文所提供的讨论,考虑到这类讨论是重复性的或大体累积性的,为了简洁起见,不会重复这类讨论。
仍然参见图9和图10,双关节运动连接件构造800被构造成能够当通过第一远侧关节运动驱动器820向其施加关节运动力时,建立“推/拉”构造。从这些图中可以看出,第一远侧关节运动驱动器820具有形成于其中的第一驱动齿条842。第一关节运动杆844向远侧伸出第一远侧关节运动驱动器820并附接到第一可运动联接器850,该第一可运动联接器通过第一球形接头852而附接到第一远侧关节运动驱动器820。第一联接器850也可以通过第一销854枢转地销接到细长通道302的近侧端部部分320,如图9中可看到的那样。双关节运动连接件构造800还包括第二远侧关节运动驱动器860,其具有形成于其中的第二驱动齿条862。第二远侧关节运动驱动器860可动地支撑在细长轴组件200'内,用于沿远侧方向“DD”和近侧方向“PD”纵向行进。第二关节运动杆864向远侧伸出第二远侧关节运动驱动器860并附接到第二可运动联接器870,该第二可运动联接器通过第二球形接头872而附接到第二远侧关节运动驱动器860。第二联接器870也可以通过第二销874枢转地销接到细长通道302的近侧端部部分320,如图9中可看到的那样。如图9中可看到的那样,第一联接器850在轴轴线SA的一个侧面上附接到细长通道302,并且第二联接器870在该轴轴线的相反侧面上附接到细长通道302。因此,通过同时拉动联接器850,870中的一者并推动联接器850,870中的另一者,外科端部执行器300将相对于细长轴组件200'围绕关节运动轴线B-B进行关节运动。在所示构造中,虽然联接器850,870(二者分别促进第一远侧关节运动驱动器和第二远侧关节运动驱动器820,860与细长通道302之间的相对运动)是由相对刚性的部件所制成的,然而其它构造可以使用相对“柔性”的联接器构造。例如,缆线等可延伸穿过远侧关节运动驱动器820,860、联接器850,870和球形接头852,872中的一者或两者,以联接到细长通道,从而促进关节运动动作传送于此。
从图9和图10中也可以看出,近侧小齿轮传动装置880和远侧小齿轮传动装置882居中设置在第一驱动齿条842和第二驱动齿条862之间并且与其啮合接合。在另选的实施方案中,可以仅使用一个小齿轮传动装置或两个以上的小齿轮传动装置。因此,采用至少一个小齿轮传动装置。近侧小齿轮传动装置880和远侧小齿轮传动装置882被可旋转地支撑在轴框架812中以相对于其自由旋转,使得随着第一远侧关节运动驱动器820沿远侧方向“DD”运动,小齿轮传动装置870,872用以在近侧方向“PD”上驱动第二远侧关节运动驱动器860。类似地,当第一远侧关节运动驱动器820沿着近侧方向“PD”被拉动时,小齿轮传动装置880,882在远侧方向“DD”上驱动第二远侧关节运动驱动器860。因此,为了使端部执行器300沿着箭头821的方向围绕关节运动轴线B-B进行关节运动,关节运动驱动器230经由离合器系统400可操作地与击发构件220接合,使得击发构件220在近侧方向“PD”上运动或拉动近侧关节运动驱动器230。近侧关节运动驱动器230沿近侧方向的运动也使第一远侧关节运动驱动器820沿近侧方向运动。当第一远侧关节运动驱动器820沿着近侧方向运动时,小齿轮传动装置880,882用于在远侧方向“DD”上驱动第二远侧关节运动驱动器860。第一远侧关节运动驱动器820和第二远侧关节运动驱动器860的这种运动使得外科端部执行器300,更具体地讲外科端部执行器300的细长通道302,围绕关节运动轴线B-B在箭头821的关节运动方向上枢转。相反地,为了使端部执行器300在箭头823的方向进行关节运动,致动击发构件220以沿远侧方向“DD”推动第一远侧关节运动驱动器820。当第一远侧关节运动驱动器820沿着远侧方向运动时,小齿轮传动装置880,882用于在近侧方向“PD”上驱动第二远侧关节运动驱动器860。第一远侧关节运动驱动器820和第二远侧关节运动驱动器860的这种运动使得外科端部执行器300,更具体地讲外科端部执行器300的细长通道302,围绕关节运动轴线B-B在箭头823的关节运动方向上枢转。
与其它能够关节运动的外科端部执行器构型相比,双固体连接件关节运动构造800及其变型可以为外科端部执行器提供更大范围的关节运动。具体地讲,本文所公开的固体连接件关节运动构造可以有助于实现超过45-50度范围的关节运动范围,45-50度是通常由其它能够关节运动的端部执行器构造所实现的范围。使用至少一个小齿轮传动装置来在远侧关节运动驱动器之间交接使得端部执行器能够被“推动”和“拉动”到位,还可以减少在使用期间端部执行器的“倾斜”量、或不期望或意外的运动量。本文公开的双固体连接件关节运动构造还包括与其它关节运动系统构造相比具有改善的强度特性的关节运动系统。
如上文简述的那样,中间击发轴部分222被构造成能够与远侧切割或击发梁280可操作地交接。远侧击发梁280可包括层合结构。当外科端部执行器300围绕关节运动轴线B-B进行关节运动时,此类构造能够使远侧击发梁280充分弯曲。远侧击发梁280被支撑用于在轴组件200'内进行轴向运动,并且由形成在细长通道302的近侧端部上的两个直立侧向支撑壁330可滑动地支撑。参见图11,远侧击发梁280附接到击发构件900,该击发构件包括在其上具有组织切割表面或刀片904的垂直延伸的击发构件主体902。此外,楔形滑动件910可安装在外科钉仓304内,以驱动与击发构件900的接触。在朝远侧驱动击发构件900通过仓体304时,楔形滑动件910上的楔形表面912接触钉驱动器,从而致动外科钉仓304中向上支撑的驱动器和外科钉。
采用击发梁或击发构件并且能够在例如四十五度的范围内进行关节运动的端部执行器可具有许多待克服的挑战。为了便于这种端部执行器进行可操作的关节运动,击发构件或击发梁必须足够灵活以适应这种关节运动范围。然而,击发梁或击发构件也必须避免在遇到压缩击发载荷时发生弯曲。为了向击发梁或击发构件提供额外的支撑,已经开发了各种“支撑”或“吹出(blowout)”板布置。在名称为“SURGICAL STAPLING INSTRUMENTHAVING ARTICULATION JOINT SUPPORT PLATES FOR SUPPORTING A FIRING BAR”的美国专利6,964,363和名称为“SURGICAL STAPLING INSTRUMENT INCORPORATING ANELECTROACTIVE POLYMER ACTUATED FIRING BAR TRACKTHROUGH AN ARTICULATION JOINT”的美国专利7,213,736中公开了若干这种布置结构,这些专利各自的全部公开内容以引用方式并入本文。提供充分抗弯曲性的吹出板一般也难以弯曲,这增加了关节运动接头系统必须适应的力。其它击发梁支撑构造在名称为“SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS WITHARTICULATABLE END EFFECTORS AND MOVABLE FIRING BEAM SUPPORT ARRANGEMENTS”的美国专利申请序列号14/575,117中有所公开,该专利申请的全部公开内容据此以引用的方式并入本文。
参见图11至图15,细长轴组件200’还包括多支撑连接件组件920,用于在外科端部执行器300围绕关节运动轴线B-B进行关节运动时向远侧击发梁280提供侧向支撑。从图11中可以看出,多支撑连接件组件920包括中间支撑构件922,其可动地联接到外科端部执行器300以及细长轴组件200'。例如,中间支撑构件922可枢转地销接到细长通道302的近侧端部320,使得其可围绕枢转轴线PA相对于该近侧端部枢转。如图11中可看到的那样,中间支撑构件922包括向远侧突起的突出部923,该突出部中具有远侧枢轴孔924,用于接纳形成在细长通道302的近侧端部部分320上的直立支撑销332。如图11中可进一步看到的那样,中间支撑构件922还包括在其中具有细长近侧狭槽928的朝近侧突起的突出部926。近侧狭槽928被构造成能够可滑动地接纳形成在框架部分812上的中间支撑销816。例如,此类构造使得中间支撑构件922能够相对于所述细长轴组件200'轴向地枢转和运动。如图11至图13所示,中间支撑构件922还包括居中设置的狭槽930,用于可动地接纳穿过其中的远侧击发梁280。
仍然参见图11至图15,多支撑连接件组件920还包括近侧支撑连接件940和远侧支撑连接件950。近侧支撑连接件940包括细长近侧主体942,该细长近侧主体具有倒圆的近侧鼻部部分943和倒圆的远侧鼻部部分944。近侧支撑连接件940还包括一对向下突起的相对的近侧支撑壁945,946,这对近侧支撑壁在其间限定有近侧狭槽947。类似地,远侧支撑连接件950包括细长远侧主体952,该细长远侧主体具有倒圆的近侧鼻部部分953和倒圆的远侧鼻部部分954。远侧支撑连接件950还包括一对向下突起的相对的远侧支撑壁955,956,这对远侧支撑壁在其间限定有远侧狭槽957。如图14中可看到的那样,柔性远侧击发梁280被构造成能够在近侧支撑连接件940的近侧支撑壁945,946与远侧支撑连接件950的远侧支撑壁955,956之间延伸。近侧支撑壁945包括面向内的近侧弓形表面948,并且近侧支撑壁946包括面向内的近侧弓形支撑表面949,其与所述面向内的近侧弓形表面948相对。近侧弓形支撑表面948,949用于随着柔性远侧击发梁280的近侧部分的侧面部分在端部执行器的关节运动期间发生弯曲并且横穿关节运动接头,对该部分提供侧向支撑。根据关节运动的方向,弧形表面可匹配远侧端部击发梁280的外半径。类似地,远侧支撑壁955包括面向内的远侧弓形表面958,并且远侧支撑壁956包括面向内的远侧弓形支撑表面959,其与所述远侧弓形表面958相对。远侧弓形支撑表面958,959用于随着远侧击发梁280的远侧部分的侧面部分在外科端部执行器300的关节运动期间发生弯曲并且横穿关节运动接头,对该部分提供侧向支撑。根据关节运动的方向,远侧弓形表面958,959可匹配远侧击发梁280的外半径。如图12和图13中可看到的那样,轴脊210的远侧端部217包括面向远侧的弓形脊凹坑218,近侧支撑连接件940的倒圆近侧鼻部部分943延伸到该凹坑中。近侧支撑连接件940的倒圆远侧鼻部部分944被枢转地接纳在中间支撑构件922中的弓形近侧凹坑932中。另外,远侧支撑连接件的倒圆近侧鼻部部分953被接纳在中间支撑构件922的远侧端部中的弓形远侧支撑构件凹坑934中。远侧支撑连接件950的倒圆远侧鼻部部分954被可动地接纳在形成于细长通道302的近侧端部320上所形成的直立侧向支撑壁330中的V形通道腔334内。
当梁在较高的关节运动角度上弯曲时,多支撑连杆组件可以为柔性击发梁层合件提供较高的侧向支撑。此类构造还防止击发梁在高击发载荷下以及在相对较高的关节运动角度下屈曲。与中间支撑构件相连接的细长支撑连接件与许多现有技术的支撑构造相比,在整个关节运动区域上提供了对击发梁的改善的侧向支撑。在另选构造中,支撑连接件可被构造成能够以各种关节运动角度与中间支撑构件实际联锁。U形支撑连接件便于轻易安装,并且用于在每个侧面以及梁的顶部对柔性支撑梁提供支撑,以防止击发梁在击发期间进行关节运动的同时向上弯曲。
在击发构件包括组织切割表面的那些实施方案中,理想的是细长轴组件可按这样的方式进行构造:除非未用完的钉仓被正确地支撑在外科端部执行器300的细长通道302中,否则防止击发构件意外推进。例如,如果根本不存在钉仓并且击发构件向远侧被推进穿过端部执行器,则组织将被切断,但是没有被钉住。类似地,如果在端部执行器中存在用完的钉仓(即,其中至少一些钉已经从其中击发的钉仓),并且击发构件被推进,则组织将被切断,但可能不完全被钉住。应当理解,这种情况在手术过程中可能导致不希望的灾难性结果。名称为“STAPLING INSTRUMENT HAVING A SPENT CARTRIDGE LOCKOUT”的美国专利6,988,649、名称为“SURGICAL STAPLING INSTRUMENT HAVING A SINGLE LOCKOUT MECHANISMFOR PREVENTION OF FIRING”的美国专利7,044,352,以及名称为“SURGICAL STAPLINGINSTRUMENT HAVING A SINGLE LOCKOUT MECHANISM FOR PREVENTION OF FIRING”的美国专利7,380,695各自公开了各种击发构件闭锁构造。这些美国专利中的每一者均以引用方式全文并入本文中。
这种闭锁构造可以有效地与各种外科缝合器械一起使用。然而,这些构造可能并不特别适合与本文公开中采用了相对紧凑和短关节运动接头构型的各种外科缝合器械结合使用。例如,图15至图19示出了通过关节运动接头270'可操作地附接到细长轴组件200'的外科端部执行器300。细长轴组件200'限定轴轴线SA-SA,并且关节运动接头270'有利于外科端部执行器300相对于细长轴组件200'围绕与横向于轴轴线SA-SA的关节运动轴线B-B的选择性关节运动。在图示实施方案中,可以采用双固体连接件关节运动构造800(如上所述)来选择性地将关节运动施加到外科端部执行器300。细长轴组件200'包括上述类型的远侧击发梁280,其在被施加击发运动时可选择性地在外科端部执行器300内从起始位置到结束位置轴向运动。远侧击发梁280延伸穿过关节运动接头270',并且被构造成能够围绕关节运动轴线B-B弯曲,以适应外科端部执行器300以本文所述的各种方式所进行的关节运动。在所示实施方案中,关节运动接头270'包括中间支撑构件922,该中间支撑构件可动地附接到轴框架812的远侧端部814和细长通道302的近侧端部320。如上所述,中间支撑构件922包括向远侧突起的突片923,该突片中具有远侧枢轴孔924,用于接纳形成在细长通道302的近侧端部部分320上的直立支撑销332。中间支撑构件922还包括在其中具有细长近侧狭槽928的朝近侧突起的突片926。近侧狭槽928被构造成能够可滑动地接纳形成在框架部分812上的中间支撑销816。中间支撑构件922还包括居中设置的狭槽930,用于轴向地接纳穿过其中的远侧击发梁280。中间支撑构件922在外科端部执行器300围绕关节运动轴线B-B进行关节运动期间对远侧击发梁280提供侧向支撑,同时在击发过程中促进其轴向通过远侧击发梁280。
在图示实施方案中,采用击发梁锁定组件980来防止远侧击发梁280从起始位置被无意地推进到结束位置,除非未击发的外科钉仓304已被可操作地安置在钉仓支撑构件或细长通道302中。从图15至图19可以看出,一种形式的击发梁锁定组件980包括形成于远侧击发梁280中的锁定凸轮或卡位装置281,使得后者从前者的上表面向上突出。偏压构件984被支撑在中间支撑构件922上并附接到该中间支撑构件。从图16中可以看出,例如,偏压构件984为基本上平面的并且包括窗口985,该窗口被构造成能够在外科端部执行器300进行关节运动期间将锁定凸轮281适应在其中。因此,当外科端部执行器300围绕关节运动轴线B-B进行关节运动时,偏压构件984不会向远侧启动梁280施加任何偏压力或载荷。该特征可以避免使外科端部执行器300绕关节运动轴线B-B关节运动所必须产生的关节运动力的量增加。偏压构件984可以被点焊到中间支撑构件922上,或者通过其它紧固方法诸如通过螺钉、销、粘合剂等被附接到该中间支撑构件上。窗口985还可以限定锁定带或部分986,其在远侧击发梁280处于起始位置时接触锁定凸轮281。锁定凸轮281可以形成有面向远侧的倾斜表面283和面向近侧的倾斜表面285,以减小轴向运动远侧击发梁280所需的击发力和回缩力的量。参见图19。
如上所述,远侧击发梁280可操作地附接到击发构件900,该击发构件包括击发构件主体902上的组织切割表面904。在另选的构造中,组织切割表面可附接到或以其它方式形成在远侧击发梁280的一部分上或由其直接支撑。在图示构造中,在击发构件主体902的底部上形成有横向延伸的支脚905。击发构件主体902还包括楔形滑动件接合构件906,其被构造成能够接合外科钉仓304中的楔形滑动件,如将在下文进一步详细讨论的。
图18示出了已经正确地安装在细长通道302中的“未用完”或“未击发”外科钉仓304。如在该图中可以看到的,楔形滑动件910位于外科钉仓304的“未击发”(最近侧)位置。楔形滑动件910包括面向近侧的倾斜表面914,该倾斜表面被构造成能够接合击发构件900上的楔形滑动件接合构件906,从而将击发构件900沿由箭头988表示的向上方向偏压,使得击发构件900的底部部分和支脚905自由地清除通过由细长通道302底部中的锁定开口303所形成的锁定壁307。当处于该位置时,远侧击发梁280和击发构件900可以在细长通道302内向远侧推进,更确切地说,安装在其中的外科钉仓304从图18所示的起始位置向远侧推进到外科钉仓304中楔形滑动件910已经将可操作地支撑在外科钉仓304中的所有外科钉射出的结束位置。在此类构造中,在击发构件900已经被完全击发(即,在外科钉仓304内从其起始位置完全推进到结束位置)之后,击发构件900被缩回到图19中所示的起始位置。因为楔形滑动件910已经由击发构件900向远侧推进到钉仓304中的结束位置,并且击发构件900未附接到楔形滑动件910,所以当击发构件900缩回到起始位置时,楔形滑动件910保持在外科钉仓304内的结束位置,并且不与击发构件900一起返回到起始位置。因此,外科钉仓304被称为处于“经使用”、“用尽”或“已击发”状态。如图19中可看到的那样,当没有楔形滑动件处于未击发状态时,由于由偏压构件984的锁定带986向远侧击发梁280上的锁定凸轮281所施加的偏压运动,主体部分902的底部以及击发构件900的支脚905延伸到细长通道302底部中的锁定开口303中。当处于该位置时,如果临床医生不经意地尝试重新击发用尽的外科钉仓,则主体部分902和/或支脚905将接触细长通道302中的壁307,并且将被阻止从起始位置运动到结束位置。因此,除非未击发或未用尽的外科钉仓已经正确/可操作地安装在外科端部执行器的细长通道中,否则击发梁锁定组件980会防止远侧击发梁280以及击发构件900从起始位置推进到结束位置。还应当理解,当完全没有钉仓安装在细长通道302中时,击发梁锁定组件980还防止了远侧击发梁280的推进。除了在不向远侧击发梁施加额外载荷的情况下(施加载荷可能导致需要增加关节运动力来使外科端部执行器进行关节运动)适应外科端部执行器300围绕关节运动轴线B-B的关节运动之外,一旦击发梁锁定组件980已经向远侧推进经过锁定壁(无论端部执行器钳口是打开还是关闭),该击发梁锁定组件就不会在击发构件和/或远侧击发梁上施加额外载荷。
图20A示出了另一能够关节运动的外科端部执行器实施方案300’,其采用包括安装在端部执行器闭合套管272内的偏压构件984'的击发梁锁定组件980'。如在该图中可以看到的,例如,偏压构件984'将偏压力施加到远侧端部击发梁280'的倾斜或锥形部分283'。击发波束锁组件980'以与上文关于击发梁锁组件980所述的相同方式进行操作。更具体地讲,偏压构件984'将偏压力施加到远侧击发梁280',迫使远侧击发梁280'和击发构件在细长通道内向下附接。除非具有处于未击发位置的楔形滑动件或其它钉射出器构件的未用尽的外科钉仓已被正确地安装在细长通道或钉仓支撑构件内,以便可操作地接合击发构件或击发梁从而运动击发构件/击发梁脱离与锁定壁的接合,否则击发构件/击发梁将被阻止从起始位置轴向推进到结束位置。
除了下文进一步详细讨论的各种差异之外,图21至图25示出了与上述细长轴组件200类似的另一细长轴组件1200的一部分。已在上文详细讨论的细长轴组件1200的那些部件用相似的元件标号来表示,并且为了简洁起见,除了对于理解轴组件1200的操作可能有必要时,例如如上所述与手术器械10的一些部分一起使用时,将不再进一步详细讨论。如图21中可看到的那样,细长轴组件1200包括关节运动锁1810,该关节运动锁基本上类似于关节运动锁810,并且以基本上相同的方式进行操作。如图22中可看到的那样,细长轴组件1200包括具有近侧腔1815的轴框架1812,该近侧腔被构造成能够将第一远侧关节运动驱动器1820的近侧部分1821可动地支撑在其中。第一远侧关节运动驱动器1820被可动地支撑在细长轴组件1200内,以供响应于施加于其上的关节运动控制动作而在远侧方向“DD”和近侧方向“PD”上选择性地纵向行进。轴框架1812还包括其上形成有枢轴销1818的远侧端部部分1814。枢轴销1818适于被枢转地接纳在外科端部执行器1300的细长通道1302的近侧端部部分1320的枢轴孔(未示出)内。这种构造便于细长通道1302相对于轴框架1812围绕由枢轴孔和销1818限定的关节运动轴线BB的枢转行进(即,关节运动)。轴框架1812还包括居中设置的腔1817,以及位于远侧端部1814和该居中设置的腔1817之间的远侧凹口1819。
轴组件1200还包括第二远侧关节运动驱动器1860,其包括可旋转地轴颈连接在近侧滑轮1840和远侧滑轮1340上的环形构件1862。仍然参见图22,近侧滑轮1840可旋转地轴颈连接在滑轮心轴1842上,该滑轮心轴安装在居中设置于轴框架1812内的腔1817内。远侧滑轮1340不可旋转地支撑或形成在外科端部执行器1300的细长通道1302的近侧端部1320上。在一种形式中,环形构件1862包括例如由不锈钢、钨、铝、钛等制成的缆线。缆线可以是编织或多股结构,具有不同数量的股线以获得期望水平的拉伸强度和柔韧性。例如,在各种构造中,缆线2382可以具有在0.03英寸至0.08英寸的范围内,并且更优选地在0.05英寸至0.08英寸的范围内的直径。优选的缆线可以例如由300系列不锈钢制成-半硬到全硬。例如,在各种构造中,缆线还可以涂覆有例如铜等以改善润滑性和/或减少拉伸。第一耳状物1863附接到缆线的一端,第二耳状物1864通过例如卷曲附接到缆线的另一端。缆线在受力情况下被张紧,而端部和/或耳状物1863,1864被焊接、粘合、机械固定等,以形成环形构件1862。心轴1842可包括与近侧滑轮1840接合以便向近侧运动滑轮1840的凸轮安装座。其它形式的张紧构造诸如皮带张紧器、螺丝扣构造等也可以用于张紧环形构件1862。
仍然参见图22,环形构件1862通过联接器组件1830联接到第一远侧关节运动驱动器1820的远侧端部1821。联接器组件1830包括形成在第一远侧关节运动驱动器1820的远侧端部1822上的上联接器部分1832,以及下联接器部分1834。下联接器部分1834形成有两个支架1835,这两个支架被构造成能够在其中接纳耳状物1862,1864。一对附接销1836被构造成能够被压入上联接器部分1832中的孔1837中,以将两个联接器部分1832和1834附连在一起。也可以使用其它紧固件构造、螺钉、铆钉、粘合剂等。当环形构件1862轴颈连接在滑轮1840和1340上时,联接器组件1830响应于第一远侧关节运动驱动器1820的轴向运动,而自由地在轴框架1812中的远侧凹口1819内轴向运动。由第一远侧关节运动驱动器1820的轴向运动产生的关节运动,被传送到第二远侧关节运动驱动器1860或者环形构件1862。附接球或耳状物1866附接到环形构件1862并被接纳在形成在远侧滑轮1340中的沟槽或凹坑1342中。因此,环形构件1862的运动被传递到外科端部执行器1300,更具体地讲,传递到外科端部执行器1300的细长通道1302,以使端部执行器围绕关节运动轴线B-B进行关节运动。因此,当第一远侧关节运动驱动器1820沿远侧方向“DD”运动时,环形构件1862使得外科端部执行器1300围绕关节运动轴线B-B在由箭头823表示的关节运动方向上进行关节运动。参见图21。类似地,当第一远侧关节运动驱动器1820沿近侧方向“PD”运动时,环形构件1862使得外科端部执行器1300围绕关节运动轴线B-B在由箭头821表示的关节运动方向上进行关节运动。参见图21和图25。如图21所示,关节运动方向823与关节运动方向821相反。
除了下文进一步详细讨论的各种差异之外,图26至图31示出了与上述细长轴组件200类似的另一细长轴组件2200的一些部分。已在上文详细讨论的细长轴组件2200的那些部件用相似的元件标号来表示,并且为了简洁起见,除了对于理解细长轴组件2200的操作可能有必要时,例如如上所述与手术器械10的一些部分一起使用时,将不再进一步详细讨论。如图26中可看到的那样,细长轴组件2200包括由喷嘴部分202和203构成的近侧外壳或喷嘴201。细长轴组件2200还包括呈闭合管2260形式的砧座致动器构件,其可用于闭合和/或打开可操作地附接到外科端部执行器2300的该外科端部执行器的砧座2310。如图26中可看到的那样,细长轴组件2200包括近侧脊2210,该近侧脊被构造成能够与关节运动锁2350可操作地交接。近侧脊2210被构造成能够:第一,可滑动地支撑其中的击发构件2220;第二,可滑动地支撑围绕近侧脊2210延伸的闭合管2260。近侧脊2210还能够以滑动方式支撑近侧关节运动驱动器2230。近侧关节运动驱动器2230具有远侧端部2231,该远侧端部被构造成能够可操作地接合关节运动锁2350。
在所示出的构造中,近侧脊2210包括可旋转地支撑在底座240中的近侧端部2211。在一种构造中,例如,近侧脊2210的近侧端部2211具有在其上形成的螺纹2214,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。这种构造有利于将近侧脊2210可旋转地附接到底座240,使得近侧脊2210可以相对于底座240选择性地围绕轴轴线SA-SA旋转。如上文详细描述的,封闭管2260的近侧端部附接到底座中所支撑的闭合梭动件。当细长轴组件2200可操作地联接到手术器械10的柄部或外壳时,闭合触发器的操作会向远侧推进闭合管2260。
同样如上所述,细长轴组件2200还包括击发构件2220,该击发构件被支撑以便在近侧脊2210内轴向行进。击发构件2220包括被构造成用于附接到远侧切割或击发梁组件2280的中间击发轴部分2222。参见图27。中间击发轴部分2222可包括其远侧端部中的被构造成能够接纳远侧击发梁组件2280的近侧端部上的突片的纵向狭槽2223。纵向狭槽2223和远侧击发梁组件2280的近侧端部可被设定尺寸并被构造成能够使得其允许它们之间的相对运动并且可包括滑动接头。滑动接头可允许击发驱动器2220的中间击发轴部分2222运动成使端部执行器300进行关节运动,而不运动或至少基本上不运动远侧击发梁组件2280。一旦外科端部执行器2300已适当地取向,则中间击发轴部分2222可朝远侧推进,直到纵向狭槽2223的近侧侧壁与突片发生接触,以便推进远侧击发梁组件2280并且击发端部执行器300中所支撑的钉仓。近侧脊2210也联接到远侧脊2212。
类似于细长轴组件200,所示细长轴组件2200包括离合器组件2400,该离合器组件可被构造成能够选择性地和可释放地将近侧关节运动驱动器2230联接到击发构件2220。在一种形式中,离合器组件2400包括围绕击发构件2220定位的锁定衬圈或锁定套管2402,其中锁定套管2402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2402将近侧关节运动驱动器2230联接到击发构件2220,在所述脱离位置,近侧关节运动驱动器2230没有可操作地联接到击发构件2220。当锁定套管2402处于其接合位置时,击发构件2220的远侧运动可使近侧关节运动驱动器2230朝远侧运动,相应地,击发构件2220的近侧运动可使近侧关节运动驱动器2230朝近侧运动。当锁定套管2402处于其脱离位置时,击发构件2220的运动不传递到近侧关节运动驱动器2230,因此,击发构件2220可独立于近侧关节运动驱动器2230运动。在各种情况下,当击发构件2220没有使近侧关节运动驱动器2230在近侧或远侧方向上运动时,近侧关节运动驱动器2230可被关节运动锁2350保持就位。
如上所述,锁定套管2402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、被构造成能够接纳击发构件2220的纵向开孔2403。锁定套管2402可包括沿直径相对的、面朝内的锁定突起2404和面朝外的锁定构件2406。锁定突起2404可被构造成能够与击发构件2220选择性地接合。更具体地讲,当锁定套管2402处于其接合位置时,锁定突起2404被定位在限定于击发构件2220中的驱动凹口2224内,使得远侧推力和/或近侧推力可从击发构件2220传递至锁定套管2402。当锁定套管2402处于其接合位置时,第二锁定构件2406被接纳在关节运动驱动器2230中限定的驱动凹口2232内,使得施加到锁定套管2402的远侧推力和/或近侧拉力可传递到近侧关节运动驱动器2230。实际上,当锁定套管2402处于其接合位置时,击发构件2220、锁定套管2402和近侧关节运动驱动器2230将一起运动。另一方面,当锁定套管2402处于其脱离位置时,锁定突起2404可不定位在击发构件2220的驱动凹口2224内;并且因此,远侧推力和/或近侧推力可不从击发构件2220传递至锁定套管2402。相应地,远侧推力和/或近侧拉力可以不传递至近侧关节运动驱动器2230。在此类情况下,击发构件2220可相对于锁定套管2402和近侧关节运动驱动器2230朝近侧和/或朝远侧滑动。
同样如上所述,细长轴组件2200还可包括被可旋转地接纳在闭合管2260上的切换筒2500。切换筒2500包括中空轴段2502,该中空轴段具有在其上形成的轴凸台2504,以用于将向外突起的致动销2410接纳在其中。在各种情况下,致动销2410延伸穿过狭槽进入设置在锁定套管2402中的纵向狭槽,以在锁定套管2402与关节运动驱动器2230接合时,利于该锁定套管做轴向运动。旋转扭簧2420被构造成能够接合切换筒2500上的凸台2504和喷嘴外壳203的一部分,以将偏压力施加到切换筒2500。切换筒2500还可包括限定于其中的至少部分周边开口2506,所述开口被构造成能够接纳从喷嘴半部202、203延伸的周边安装座,并且允许切换筒2500和近侧喷嘴201之间的相对旋转而不是相对平移。如上所述,切换筒2500的旋转最终将导致致动销2410和锁定套管2402在其接合位置和脱离位置之间的旋转。因此,实质上,喷嘴201可用于以上述以及在美国专利申请序列号13/803,086(现为美国专利申请公布2014/0263541)中更详细描述的各种方式来使关节运动驱动系统与击发驱动系统操作地接合和脱离接合。
参见图27,闭合管组件2260包括双枢轴闭合套管组件2271。根据各种形式,双枢轴闭合套管组件2271包括具有朝远侧突出的上柄脚和下柄脚的端部执行器闭合套管2272。上部双枢轴连接件2277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2260上的朝近侧突出的上柄脚中的上部远侧销孔和朝远侧突出的上柄脚中的上部近侧销孔。下部双枢轴连接件2278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中的下部远侧销孔和朝远侧突出的下柄脚中的下部近侧销孔。
细长轴组件2200还包括类似于上文所述的外科端部执行器300的外科端部执行器2300。如图27中可看到的那样,外科端部执行器2300包括被构造成能够在其中可操作地支撑外科钉仓2304的细长通道2302。细长通道2302具有包括两个直立侧壁2322的近侧端部部分2320。外科端部执行器2300还包括砧座2310,该砧座具有砧座主体2312,该砧座主体具有在其上形成的钉成形底面2313。砧座主体2312的近侧端部2314被击发构件狭槽2315分为两部分,以形成两个砧座附接臂2316。每个砧座附接臂2316包括侧向突起的砧座耳轴2317。耳轴狭槽2324设置在细长通道2302的每个侧壁2322中,用于将砧座耳轴2317中对应的一个接纳在其中。这种构造用于将砧座2310可动地附连到细长通道2302,以在打开位置和闭合位置或夹紧位置之间选择性地枢转行进。通过将闭合管2260朝远侧推进,并且更具体地,将锥形附接臂2316上的端部执行器闭合套筒2272朝远侧推进,这导致砧座2310在枢转到闭合位置的同时朝远侧运动,由此砧座2310运动到闭合位置。端部执行器闭合套筒2272中设置有马蹄形开口2273,该马蹄形开口被构造成能够接合端部执行器2300的砧座2310上的直立突片2318。为了打开砧座2310,闭合管2260,以及更具体地,将端部执行器闭合套筒2272沿近侧方向运动。这样,由马蹄形开口2273限定的中央突片部分与砧座2310上的突片2318协作以使砧座2310枢转回到打开位置。
转到图26、28和29,如上所述,细长轴组件2200包括基本上类似于上述的关节运动锁350和810的关节运动锁2350。关节运动锁2350的不同于关节运动锁350的并且为理解关节运动锁350的操作所必需的部件将在下面进一步详细讨论。如上所述,关节运动锁2350可被构造成能够并操作以选择性地将端部执行器2300锁定就位。当关节运动锁2350处于其解锁状态时,这种构造使外科端部执行器2300能够相对于轴闭合管2260旋转或做关节运动。当近侧关节运动驱动器2230经由离合器系统2400与击发构件2220操作地接合时,除上述之外,击发构件2220可使近侧关节运动驱动器2230朝近侧和/或朝远侧运动。近侧关节运动驱动器2230的运动,无论其为近侧或远侧,可解锁关节运动锁2350,如上所述。该实施方案包括被可动地支撑在近侧脊2210和远侧脊2212之间的近侧锁适配器构件2360。近侧锁适配器2360包括用于在其中接纳第一锁定元件2364和第二锁定元件2366的锁定腔2362,第一锁定元件和第二锁定元件轴颈连接在于近侧框架2210和远侧框架2212之间延伸的框架导轨2368上。关节运动锁2350以上述各种方式操作,并且为了简洁起见,在此不再进一步讨论。
如图26、28和29中可以看出,第一远侧关节运动驱动器2370附接到近侧锁适配器2360。第一远侧关节运动驱动器2370可操作地附接到第二远侧关节运动驱动器2380,该第二远侧关节运动驱动器可操作地与端部执行器2300的细长通道2302交接。第二远侧关节运动驱动器2380包括可旋转地轴颈连接在近侧滑轮2383和远侧滑轮2392上的缆线2382。远侧滑轮2392不可旋转地支撑在或整体形成在端部执行器安装组件2390上,并且包括卡位装置或凹坑2396。在所示的实施例中,端部执行器安装组件2390通过弹簧销2393不可动地附接到细长通道2302的近侧端部2320,该弹簧销延伸穿过端部执行器安装组件2390中的孔和细长通道2302的近侧端部2320中的孔2394。近侧滑轮2383可旋转地支撑在远侧脊2212上。远侧脊2212的远侧端部具有形成于其上的枢轴销2213,该枢轴销被构造成能够被可旋转地接纳在形成于端部执行器安装构件2390中的枢轴孔2395内。这种构造便于细长通道2302相对于远侧脊2212围绕由枢轴孔2395和销2213限定的关节运动轴线BB的枢转行进(即,关节运动)。
在一种形式中,缆线2382可以由例如不锈钢、钨、铝、钛等制成。缆线可以是编织或多股结构,具有不同数量的股线以获得期望水平的拉伸强度和柔韧性。例如,在各种构造中,缆线2382可以具有在0.03英寸至0.08英寸的范围内,并且更优选地在0.05英寸至0.08英寸的范围内的直径。优选的缆线可以例如由300系列不锈钢制成-半硬到全硬。例如,在各种构造中,缆线还可以涂覆有例如铜等以改善润滑性和/或减少拉伸。在图示的实施例中,缆线2382具有附接到其一个端部的耳状物2384和通过例如压接附接到其另一个端部的耳状物2385。第一远侧关节运动驱动器2370包括一对间隔开的夹板2372,2374,它们彼此间隔足够大以便在其间适应耳状物2384,2385。例如,近侧夹板2372包括用于接纳缆线2382的邻近耳状物2384的一部分的近侧狭槽2373,并且远侧夹板2374包括用于接纳缆线2382的邻近耳状物2385的相应部分的远侧狭槽2375。狭槽2373和2375分别相对于耳状物2384,2385设置尺寸,以便防止耳状物2384,2385从中穿过。与远侧狭槽2375相比,近侧狭槽2375以一定角度取向,以便紧紧抓住其中的缆线2382的对应部分。参见图30。附接球或耳状物2398附接到环形构件2382并被接纳在形成在远侧滑轮2392中的卡位装置或凹坑2396中。参见图31。因此,当第一远侧关节运动驱动器2370沿近侧方向“PD”轴向缩回时,以上述方式,环形构件2382将使端部执行器2300沿图31中箭头2376所示的方向进行关节运动。相反,当第一远侧关节运动驱动器2370沿远侧方向“DD”轴向推进时,外科端部执行器2300沿图31中箭头2399所示的方向进行关节运动。另外,近侧夹板2372和远侧夹板2374充分间隔开,以便在其间适应耳状物2384,2385。张紧楔形件2378如图29至图32那样使用,以对线缆2382施加足够的张力,使得在线缆被致动时,其将向端部执行器2300施加关节运动。在图35所示的另选构造中,近侧夹板2374'最初未附接到第一关节运动驱动器2370。近侧夹板2374'被定位在第一远侧关节运动驱动器2370上,以便捕获远侧夹板2372和近侧夹板2374'之间的耳状物2384和2385。近侧夹板2374'朝向远侧夹板2372运动,直到在线缆2382中产生足够的张力,然后近侧夹板2374'附接到第一远侧关节运动驱动器2370。例如,近侧夹板2374'可通过激光焊接或其它合适形式的附接装置或紧固件构造附接到第一远侧关节运动驱动器2370。
参见图36至图39,该外科器械包括例如中央击发梁支撑构件2286,该中央击发梁支撑构件被构造成能够延伸穿过关节运动接头以向柔性击发梁组件2280提供支撑。在一种形式中,中央击发梁支撑构件2286包括柔性板构件或带,并且包括附接到外科端部执行器的向下突出的远侧附接突片2287和附接到细长轴组件的向上延伸的近侧端部部分2288。在至少一种构造中,远侧附接突片2287通过弹簧销2393附接到端部执行器安装组件2390,并且近侧端部部分2288通过销(未示出)销接到远侧脊2212。中央击发梁支撑构件2286沿着装置的中心线或轴轴线定位,并且用于在关节运动期间为击发梁提供支撑。这不同于采用“吹出”板或侧向支撑板的那些构造,在那些构造中,这些侧向支撑板位于击发梁的侧面,并由此偏离轴轴线,增大了它们在关节运动过程中所经受的拉伸力和压缩力。在所示的示例中,可纵向运动的柔性击发梁组件2280包括层压梁结构,该层压梁结构包括至少两个梁层,其中至少一个梁层被构造成能够邻近中央击发梁支撑构件的一个侧面通过,并且至少一个另一个梁构件被构造成能够邻近中央击发梁支撑构件的另一个侧面通过。在所示的示例中,两个层压层2282和2284被构造成能够邻近柔性张力承载构件的每个侧面通过。参见例如图35和图36。在各种实施方案中,层压层2282和2284可包括例如不锈钢带,这些不锈钢带通过例如在其近侧端部焊接或销接在一起而彼此互连,同时它们各自的远侧端部不连接在一起以便允许层压体或带在端部执行器做关节运动时相对于彼此张开。每一对层压层或带2282,2284被表示为击发梁组件2280的侧向击发带组件2285。因此,如图36所示,一个侧向击发带组件2285被支撑在中央关节运动棒2286的每个侧面上,以实现通过一系列侧向负荷承载构件2290相对于其轴向行进。每个侧向载荷承载构件2290可由例如不锈钢、铝、钛、液晶聚合物材料、塑料材料、尼龙、丙烯腈丁二烯苯乙烯(ABS)、聚乙烯等制成,并形成有相反的弓形端部2292。每个侧向载荷承载构件2290还具有从其延伸穿过的轴向通路2294,以接纳侧向击发带组件2285和中央关节运动棒2286的组件。如可以在图38中最具体地看到的那样,每个轴向通路由两个相对的弓形表面2295限定,这两个弓形表面2295便于侧向负荷承载构件290在可纵向运动的柔性击发梁组件2280上的运动。侧向载荷承载构件2290串联地布置在侧向击发带组件2285和中央关节运动棒2286上,使得相反的弓形端部2292邻接相邻侧向载荷承载构件2290的对应弓形端部2292。参见例如图36和图37。
再次参见图37,可以看出,近侧端部部分2288的中央关节运动棒2286向下延伸以附接到远侧脊2212。例如,击发梁组件2280的远侧端部2287附接到上述类型和构造的击发构件2900。如在该图中可见,击发构件2900包括在其上具有组织切割表面或刀片2904的垂直延伸的击发构件主体2902。此外,楔形滑动件2910可安装在外科钉仓2304内,以驱动与击发构件2900的接触。在朝远侧驱动击发构件2900通过仓体2304时,楔形滑动件2910的楔形表面2912接触钉驱动器,从而在钉仓2304中向上致动驱动器和支撑在其上的外科钉。击发梁组件2280以上述各种方式操作。当击发梁组件2280围绕关节运动关接头朝远侧推进时,侧向载荷承载构件2290可帮助抵抗击发梁组件2280上的弯曲载荷。侧向载荷承载构件2290还可以减少使端部执行器关节运动所需的力的量,并且与其它关节运动接头构造相比还可适应更大的关节运动角度。固定的中央击发梁支撑构件2286用于承载在关节运动和击发期间产生的张力载荷。
如上所述,击发梁组件包括层压梁结构,该层压梁结构包括至少两个梁层。当击发梁组件(在击发期间)朝远侧推进时,击发梁组件基本上被中央击发梁支撑构件分成两部分,使得击发梁组件的一部分(即,层压层)在中央击发梁支撑构件的两侧上通过。
图40至图43示出了附接到击发构件2900的另一个击发梁组件2280'的一部分。从那些图中可以看出,击发梁组件2280包括层压结构,该层压结构包括各自具有被指定为“a”的厚度的两个外层侧梁或层2282',以及各自具有被指定为“b”的厚度的四个中心层2284'。例如,在至少一种构造中,“a”可以是大约0.005-0.008英寸,还更优选0.008英寸,并且“b”可以是大约0.008-0.012英寸,还更优选0.010英寸。然而,可采用其它厚度。在所示的示例中,“a”小于“b”。在其它构造中,“a”大于“b”。例如,在另选构造中,层压体可以由三种不同的厚度“a”、“b”、“c”组成,其中“a”=0.006英寸,“b”=0.008英寸,并且“c”=0.010英寸(最厚的层压体或带在组件的中心)。在各种构造中,可能存在奇数个层压体或带,其中“c”是在中心处单层最厚的层压体。
层压体的组成有重大作用,因为施加到梁组件上的应变的量基于其厚度和距离弯曲中心线的距离。更靠近中心线的较厚层压体或带可能经历与离中心线更远的较薄层压体或带相同的应变水平,因为考虑到它们叠堆在一起的事实,它们必定更弯曲。曲线的离中心线更远的内侧上的曲率半径更大。给定相同的曲率半径,较厚的层压体或带倾向于比较薄的层压体经受更多的内部应力。因此,具有最小曲率半径的较薄侧面层压体或带可能具有与靠近中心线的较厚层相同的塑性变形可能性。换句话说,当端部执行器在一个方向上做关节运动时,远离关节运动方向定位的层压体或带具有最大的弯曲半径,最靠近关节运动方向的层压体或带具有最紧的弯曲半径。不过,当端部执行器在相反方向上做关节运动时,情况正好相反。层压体叠堆内部的层压体经历相同的偏离,但是它们的弯曲半径将始终落在外层层压体的范围内。因此,为了保持灵活性,可能需要将较薄的层压体定位在叠堆的外层上。但是,为了最大限度地提高刚度和抗弯曲性,内部较厚的材料会带来额外的好处。另选地,如果端部执行器只需要在单个方向上做关节运动,则远离关节运动方向定位的层压体或带将经历最大的弯曲半径,并且定位在关节运动方向上的层压体或带具有最紧的弯曲半径。不过,由于端部执行器并不在相反方向上做关节运动,反向情况不再成立,所以层压体叠堆不需要是对称的。因此,在这种构造中,希望最薄的层压体或带将是将经历最紧的弯曲半径的层压体或带(在关节运动方向一侧上的层压体或带)。
在其它构造中,层压体或带可以由具有不同强度和模量的不同金属制成。例如,外部层压体或带可以具有与内部层压体或带的厚度相同的厚度,其中内部层压体或带由300系列不锈钢制成,并且外部层压体或带由钛或镍钛诺制成。
如图42和图43中也可以看出,远侧击发梁组件2280'可以与上述的一系列侧向z载荷承载构件2290有效地一起使用。应当理解,远侧击发梁组件2280也可以上述方式与中央关节运动棒2286结合使用,使得它的一些层或侧梁(或带或层压体)沿着中央关节运动棒的侧面轴向推进。在一些实施方案中,在中央关节运动棒2286的每一侧上推进的层可具有相同的厚度、组成、形状和构型。在其它构造中,沿着中央关节运动棒的一侧通过的一个或多个层可以具有与沿着中央关节运动棒相反侧通过的一个或多个层的厚度和/或组成和/或形状不同的厚度和/或组成和/或形状,以便实现期望的行进范围和灵活性,同时保持期望的刚度量以避免在击发期间屈曲。
图44至图46示出了另一个细长轴组件3200的一部分,其包括上述类型和构造的外科端部执行器300。也可以采用其它形式的外科端部执行器。细长轴组件3200还包括附接到击发构件900的可纵向运动的柔性击发梁组件3280。在另选构造中,击发梁组件3280的远侧端部可以被构造成能够在外科端部执行器内执行各种动作,而不需要附接击发构件。柔性击发梁组件3280可以包括本文所述的各种类型的层压梁构造。在一种构造中,采用至少两个压缩带,以在柔性击发梁组件3280横穿关节运动接头时为该击发梁组件提供侧向支撑。所示的实施方案采用总共四个压缩带,以在柔性击发梁横穿关节运动接头时为其提供侧向支撑。例如,细长轴组件3200还包括脊3210,该脊包括具有两个远侧腔或凹口3219的远侧端部3217,以及形成在其中的两个近侧腔或凹口3219'。一个远侧腔3219适应定位在所述柔性击发梁组件3280的一个侧面3281上的第一压缩带3900的第一近侧端部3904,另一个远端腔3219适应定位在柔性击发梁组件3280的另一个侧面3283上的第二压缩带3901的第二近侧端部3905。第一压缩带3900包括第一远侧端部3902,该第一远侧端部安装在外科端部执行器300的细长通道302的近侧端部320上形成的对应直立侧向支撑壁330内。相似地,第二压缩带3901包括第二远侧端部3907,该第二远侧端部也安装在外科端部执行器300的细长通道302的近侧端部320上形成的对应直立侧向支撑壁330内。第一远侧压缩带3900和第二远侧压缩带3901可以由弹簧钢等制造,并且近侧端部3904,3905可以U形方式折叠以形成偏压部分,该偏压部分被构造成能够如图所示被可动地接纳在远端凹口3219内。这种构造允许第一远侧压缩带3900和第二远侧压缩带3901响应于外科端部执行器300的关节运动而弯曲,同时将近侧端部3904,3905保持在它们的相应远侧凹口3219内。
在图44至图46中也可以看出,细长轴组件3200还包括第三压缩带3910和第四压缩带3911。如同第一压缩带3900和第二压缩带3901一样,第三压缩带3910和第四压缩带3911可以由弹簧钢制成。如图44至图46中可看到的那样,第三压缩带3910可位于第一压缩带3900与柔性击发梁组件3280的侧面3281之间,并且第四压缩带3911可位于第二压缩带3901与柔性击发带组件3280的另一个侧面3283之间。第三压缩带3910的第三近侧端部3914以及第四压缩带3911的第四近侧端部3915可各自以U形方式折叠以形成被可动地接纳在脊3210中的相应近侧腔3219'内的偏压部分。第三压缩带3910的第三远侧端部3912和第四压缩带3911的第四远侧端部3917安装在外科端部执行器300中的相应侧向支撑壁330中。
细长轴组件3200还包括可运动支撑连接件组件3920,该支撑连接件组件用于当端部执行器300围绕关节运动轴线做关节运动时提供对柔性击发梁组件3280的进一步侧向支撑。如图44至图46中可看到的那样,可运动支撑连接件组件3920包括可动地联接到外科端部执行器300以及细长轴组件3200的中间支撑构件3922。在一个实施方案中,中间支撑构件3922枢转地销接到细长通道302的远侧端部320。中间支撑构件3922还包括在其中具有细长近侧狭槽3928的朝近侧突起的突片3926。近侧狭槽3928被构造成能够可滑动地接纳形成在脊3210上的中间支撑销3211。这种构造允许中间支撑构件3922与细长轴组件3200的脊3210之间的相对枢转和轴向运动,以便适应更大范围的关节运动,同时能够动态地运动,以便保持击发梁组件3280上足够的侧向支撑。如图44至图46中可看到的那样,中间支撑构件3922还包括居中设置的狭槽3930,其用于轴向接纳穿过其中的击发梁组件3280。
如图44至图46中可进一步看到的那样,可运动支撑连接件组件3920还包括细长的可运动枢轴连接件3940。枢轴连接件3940包括中央主体部分3942,该中央主体部分具有朝近侧突起的近侧鼻部部分3943和朝远侧突起的远侧鼻部部分3944。枢轴连接件3940还包括第一向下突起的侧向支撑壁3945和第二向下突起的侧向支撑壁3946,这两个侧向支撑壁限定其间的梁槽3947。如图46中可看到的那样,击发梁组件3280被构造成能够在击发梁组件3280的致动和外科端部执行器300的关节运动期间在第一侧向支撑壁3945和第二侧向支撑壁3946之间延伸。此外,在所示的构造中,例如,第一压缩带3900在第一侧向支撑壁3945和第三压缩带3910之间延伸,并且第二压缩带3901在第二侧向支撑壁3946和第四压缩带3911之间延伸。第一侧向支撑壁3945包括面向内的第一弓形表面3948,并且第二侧向支撑壁3946包括面向内的第二弓形表面3949。第一弓形表面3948和第二弓形表面3949用于在端部执行器300做关节运动期间击发梁组件3280弯曲时为其提供侧向支撑。根据关节运动的方向和程度,圆角表面可匹配击发梁组件3280和压缩带3900,3901,3910,3911的外半径。如图44和图45中也可看到的那样,脊3210的远侧端部3217包括一对相对的左侧轴凹口和右侧轴凹口3218,枢轴连接件3940的朝近侧突起的倒圆近侧鼻部部分3943根据外科端部执行器围绕关节运动轴线做关节运动的方向延伸到该轴凹口中。相似地,相对的左侧支撑凹口和右侧支撑凹口3932设置在中间支撑件3922中,以根据端部执行器做关节运动的方向适应枢轴连接件3940的朝远侧突起的远侧鼻部部分3944。此类凹口构造用于在向枢轴连接件3940提供侧向支撑的同时,在适合于适应关节运动方向的取向上适当地对准枢轴连接件3940。
除了下文进一步详细讨论的各种差异之外,图47至图51示出了在一些方面与上述细长轴组件2200类似的另一细长轴组件4200。已在上文详细讨论的细长轴组件2200的那些部件将包含相似的元件标号,并且为了简洁起见,除了对于理解细长轴组件4200的操作可能有必要时,例如如上所述与手术器械10的一些部分一起使用时,将不再进一步详细讨论。如图47中可看到的那样,在至少一个实施例中,细长轴组件4200包括关节运动锁2350。如上文详细讨论的,关节运动锁组件2350包括联接(例如,被销接)到第一远侧关节运动驱动器4370的近侧锁适配器2360。如图47和图50中可看到的那样,第一远侧关节运动驱动器4370包括第一近侧齿轮齿条段4371和形成在其远侧端部4372上的第一远侧齿轮齿条段4373。细长轴组件4200还包括第二远侧关节运动驱动器4380,该第二远侧关节运动驱动器包括第二近侧齿轮齿条段4381和形成在其远侧端部4382上的第二远侧齿轮齿条段4383。
第一远侧关节运动驱动器4370和第二远侧关节运动驱动器4380被构造成能够在近侧方向“PD”和远侧方向“DD”上相对于远侧脊组件4212轴向运动。如图50中可看到的那样,第一近侧齿轮齿条段4371和第二近侧齿轮齿条段4381与由远侧脊组件4212可旋转地支撑的近侧动力传递齿轮4390啮合接合。类似地,第一远侧齿轮齿条段4373和第二远侧齿轮齿条段4383与远侧动力传递齿轮组件4392啮合接合。具体地讲,在至少一种构造中,远侧动力传递齿轮组件4392包括与第一远侧齿轮齿条段4373和第二远侧齿轮齿条段4383啮合接合的小齿轮传动装置4393。远侧动力传递齿轮组件4392还包括被布置成与惰齿轮4395啮合接合的驱动齿轮4394。惰齿轮4395继而被支撑为与形成在外科端部执行器4300的细长通道4302的近侧端部部分4320上的从动齿轮4306啮合接合。另外,外科端部执行器4300可以类似于外科端部执行器2300,并且包括可以上述各种方式打开和闭合的砧座4310。参见图48、图49和图51,远侧脊组件4212可以包括上部脊部分4212A和下部脊部分4212B。细长通道4302的远侧动力传递齿轮组件4392、惰齿轮4395和从动齿轮部分4306各自枢转地附接到或支撑在远侧脊组件4212的底部部分4212B上。
图47中所示的细长轴组件4200包括附接到击发构件(未示出)的击发梁组件3280。击发梁组件3280可以包括本文所述的类型的层压梁构造。上面详细描述了击发构件的操作,为了简洁起见,下文将不重复。如图47中也可看到的那样,采用了名称为“SURGICALINSTRUMENTS WITH ARTICULATABLE END EFFECTORS AND MOVABLE FIRING BEAM SUPPORTARRANGEMENTS”的美国专利申请序列号14/575,117中公开的类型的击发梁支撑构件4400来在外科端部执行器4300的关节运动期间为击发梁组件3280提供支撑,该专利申请的全部公开内容据此以引用方式并入。图52示出了远侧击发梁组件2280在细长轴组件4200中的用途。在该图中可以看出,以上述方式采用多个侧向载荷承载构件2290来在外科端部执行器4300做关节运动时为远侧击发梁组件2280提供支撑。
除了下文进一步详细讨论的各种差异之外,图53至图58示出了在一些方面与上述细长轴组件2200类似的另一细长轴组件5200。已在上文相对于细长轴组件2200详细讨论的细长轴组件5200的那些部件用相似的元件标号来标识,并且为了简洁起见,除了对于理解细长轴组件5200的操作可能有必要时,例如如上所述与手术器械10的一些部分一起使用时,将不再进一步详细讨论。
类似于细长轴组件2200,所示的细长轴组件5200包括离合器组件2400,该离合器组件被构造成能够可操作地接合关节运动系统5600,该关节运动系统被构造成能够向与其可操作地联接的外科端部执行器300施加推拉关节运动。在该实施方案中,离合器组件2400包括围绕击发构件2220定位的锁定衬圈或锁定套管2402,其中锁定套管2402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2402将关节运动系统5600可操作地接合到击发构件2220,在所述脱离位置,关节运动系统5600没有可操作地联接到击发构件2220。具体参见图54至图56,在所示的实施例中,关节运动系统5600包括被支撑用于在喷嘴201内旋转运动的关节运动盘或旋转构件5602。关节运动盘5602由驱动连接组件5610可旋转地驱动。在所示的实施例中,驱动连接组件5610包括附接到关节运动盘5602的驱动销5612。关节运动驱动连接件5614通过连接器5616可操作地附接到驱动销5612,所述连接器便于关节运动驱动连接件5614相对于驱动销5612的某种运动。参见图54至图56。关节运动驱动连杆5614包括驱动联接器5618,该驱动联接器被构造成能够驱动地接合锁定套管2402上的面向外的锁定构件2406。参见图53。
如上所述,锁定套管2402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、被构造成能够接纳击发构件2220的纵向开孔2403。参见图53。锁定套管2402可包括沿直径相对的、面朝内的锁定突起2404和面朝外的锁定构件2406。锁定突起2404可被构造成能够与击发构件2220选择性地接合。更具体地讲,当锁定套管2402处于其接合位置时,锁定突起2404被定位在限定于击发构件2220中的驱动凹口2224内,使得远侧推力和/或近侧推力可从击发构件2220传递至锁定套管2402。当锁定套管2402处于其接合位置时,面向外的锁定构件2406被接纳在图53所示的驱动联接器5618中的驱动凹口5619内,使得施加到锁定套管2402的远侧推力和/或近侧推力可传输至关节运动驱动连接件5614。实际上,当锁定套管2402处于其接合位置时,击发构件2220、锁定套管2402和关节运动驱动连杆5614将一起运动。另一方面,当锁定套管2402处于其脱离位置时,锁定突起2404可不定位在击发构件2220的驱动凹口2224内;并且因此,远侧推力和/或近侧推力可不从击发构件2220传递至锁定套管2402。相应地,驱动力“DF”可以不被施加到关节运动盘5602。在此类情况下,击发构件2220可相对于锁定套管2402和近侧关节运动驱动器2230朝近侧和/或朝远侧滑动。
同样如上所述,细长轴组件5200还可包括被可旋转地接纳在闭合管2260上的切换筒2500。参见图53。切换筒2500包括中空轴段2502,该中空轴段具有在其上形成的轴凸台2504,以用于将向外突起的致动销2410接纳在其中。在各种情况下,致动销2410延伸进入设置在锁定套管2402中的纵向狭槽2401,以在锁定套管2402与关节运动驱动连接件5614接合时,利于该锁定套管做轴向运动。旋转扭簧2420被构造成能够接合切换筒2500上的凸台2504和喷嘴外壳201的一部分,以将偏压力施加到切换筒2500。如上所述,切换筒2500还可包括限定于其中的至少部分周边开口,所述开口可被构造成能够接纳从喷嘴半部延伸的周边安装座,并且允许切换筒2500和喷嘴外壳201之间的相对旋转而不是相对平移。如上所述,切换筒2500的旋转最终将导致致动销2410和锁定套管2402在其接合位置和脱离位置之间的旋转。因此,实质上,喷嘴外壳201可用于以上述以及在美国专利申请序列号13/803,086(现为美国专利申请公布2014/0263541)中更详细描述的各种方式来使关节运动系统5600与击发驱动系统操作地接合和脱离接合。
再次参见图53至图56,所示的示例的关节运动系统5600还包括“第一”或右关节运动连杆5620和“第二”或左关节运动连杆5640。第一关节运动连杆5620包括第一关节运动连接件5622,该第一关节运动联接件包括被可动地接纳在关节运动盘5602中的第一关节运动狭槽5604内的第一关节运动销5624。第一关节运动连接件5622可动地销接到第一关节运动连接器5626,该第一关节运动连接器被构造成能够接合关节运动锁2350。如上所述,关节运动锁2350可被构造成能够并操作以选择性地将外科端部执行器300锁定就位。当关节运动锁2350处于其解锁状态时,这种构造使外科端部执行器300能够相对于轴闭合管2260旋转或做关节运动。当关节运动驱动连接件5614经由离合器系统2400与击发构件2220操作地接合时,除上述之外,击发构件2220可使关节运动盘6502旋转以使第一关节运动连杆5620朝近侧和/或朝远侧运动。第一关节运动连杆5620的第一关节运动连接器5626的运动,无论其为近侧或远侧,可解锁关节运动锁2350,如上所述。近侧锁适配器2360包括用于在其中接纳第一锁定元件2364和第二锁定元件2366的锁定腔2362,第一锁定元件和第二锁定元件轴颈连接在于近侧框架2210和远侧框架之间延伸的框架导轨上。关节运动锁2350的操作以上述各种方式操作,并且为了简洁起见,在此不再进一步讨论。如图53中可看到的那样,第一远侧关节运动驱动器5370附接到近侧锁适配器2360。第一远侧关节运动驱动器5370可操作地附接到外科端部执行器300的细长通道302的近侧端部320。
如上所述,所示的实施例的关节运动系统5600还包括“第二”或左关节运动连杆5640。如图54至图56中可看到的那样,第二关节运动连杆5640包括第二关节运动连接件5642,该第二关节运动连接件包括被可动地接纳在关节运动盘5602中的第二关节运动狭槽5606内的第二关节运动销5644。第二关节运动连接件5642被销接到附接到外科端部执行器300的细长通道302的近侧端部320的第二关节运动棒5646。参见图54,关节运动系统5600还包括被接纳在第一关节运动狭槽5604内的第一关节运动偏压构件5628和被接纳在第二关节运动狭槽5606内的第二关节运动偏压构件5648。图54示出了处于中间或非关节运动构型的关节运动系统5600。在该图中可以看出,第一关节运动销5624与第一关节运动偏压构件5628接触,并且第二关节运动销5644与第二关节运动偏压构件5648接触。然而,当处于该中间位置时,第一关节运动偏压构件5628和第二关节运动偏压构件5648可以不处于压缩状态。图55示出了由关节运动驱动连接件5614以上述方式在近侧方向“PD”上将驱动力“DF”施加到关节运动盘5602。在近侧方向PD上施加驱动力DF导致关节运动盘5602沿箭头5601表示的旋转方向旋转。当关节运动盘5602在旋转方向5601上旋转时,第二关节运动狭槽的端部接触第二关节运动销5644,并向第二关节运动连杆5640施加推力并且最终施加到第二关节运动棒5646。相反地,第一关节运动偏压构件5628在第一关节运动狭槽5604内在箭头5601的方向上推动第一关节运动销5624,使得在近侧方向“PD”上将拉力施加到第一关节运动连杆5620。该近侧拉力通过关节运动锁2350传递到第一远侧关节运动驱动器5370。施加到外科端部执行器的这种“推动和牵拉运动”致使外科端部执行器300在由箭头5300表示的方向上围绕关节运动轴线做关节运动。参见图53。当关节运动盘5602处于图55所示的位置时,第二关节运动偏压构件5648可以处于压缩状态,并且第一关节运动偏压构件可以不被压缩。因此,当将驱动力DF施加到关节运动驱动连接件5614的操作中断时,第二关节运动偏压构件5648可以将关节运动盘5602偏压回到例如图54所示的中间位置。
相反地,当如图56所示,将驱动力“DF”在远侧方向“DD”上施加到关节运动驱动连接件5614时,关节运动盘5602在由箭头5603表示的旋转方向上旋转。当关节运动盘5602在旋转方向5603上旋转时,第一关节运动狭槽5604的端部接触第一关节运动销5624,并向第一关节运动连杆5620施加推力并且最终通过关节运动锁2350施加到第一远侧关节运动驱动器5370。此外,第二关节运动偏压构件5648在第二关节运动狭槽5606内在箭头5603的方向上推动第二关节运动销5644,使得在近侧方向“PD”上将拉力施加到第二关节运动连杆5640。该近侧拉力被传递到第二关节运动棒5646。施加到外科端部执行器300的这种“推动和牵拉运动”致使外科端部执行器300在由箭头5302表示的方向上围绕关节运动轴线做关节运动。参见图53。当关节运动盘5602处于图56所示的位置时,第一关节运动偏压构件5628可以处于压缩状态,并且第二关节运动偏压构件5648可以不被压缩。因此,当将驱动力DF施加到关节运动驱动连接件5614的操作中断时,第一关节运动偏压构件5628可以将关节运动盘5602偏压回到例如图54所示的中间位置。
图57示出了轴框架812的远侧端部部分814与可操作地联接到细长轴组件5200的外科端部执行器300的附接。如上所述,远侧端部部分814具有其上的向下突起的枢轴销(未示出),该枢轴销适于被枢转地接纳在形成于细长通道302的近侧端部部分320中的枢轴孔(未示出)内。这种构造便于细长通道302围绕由该枢轴孔限定的关节运动轴线B-B相对于轴框架812枢转行进。如图57中也可看到的那样,第一远侧关节运动驱动器5370由第一球形接头852附接到第一联接器850。第一联接器850也可以通过第一销854枢转地销接到细长通道302的近侧端部部分320,如图57中可看到的那样。相似地,第二关节运动棒5646由第二球形接头872附接到第二联接器870。第二联接器870也可以通过第二销874枢转地销接到细长通道302的近侧端部部分320,如图57中可看到的那样。
参见图53和图58,细长轴组件5200还可以包括附接到上述类型的击发构件900的击发梁组件2280。击发梁组件2280附接到击发构件2220并且可以上述的各种方式轴向推进和缩回。细长轴组件5200还可以包括多支撑连接件组件920,用于在外科端部执行器300围绕关节运动轴线B-B进行关节运动时向远侧击发梁2280提供侧向支撑。如图58中可看到的那样,多支撑连接件组件920包括中间支撑构件922,该中间支撑构件以上述方式枢转地销接到细长通道302的近侧端部320。中间支撑构件922还包括居中设置的狭槽930,用于轴向地接纳穿过其中的远侧击发梁2280。多支撑连接件组件920还包括近侧支撑连接件940和远侧支撑连接件950。近侧支撑连接件940包括主体部分942,该主体部分具有倒圆的近侧端部943和倒圆的远侧端部944。近侧支撑连接件940还包括一对向下突起的侧支撑壁945,这对侧向支撑壁在其间限定有近侧狭槽。相似地,远侧支撑连接件950包括主体部分952,该主体部分具有倒圆的近侧端部953和倒圆的远侧端部954。远侧支撑连接件950还包括一对向下突起的侧支撑壁955,这对侧向支撑壁在其间限定有近侧狭槽。如图58中可看到的那样,远侧击发梁2280被构造成能够在近侧支撑连接件940的侧向支撑壁945与远侧支撑连接件950的侧向支撑壁955之间延伸。每个支撑壁945和955包括面向内的弓形表面,如上所述。支撑表面用于在外科端部执行器300做关节运动期间远侧击发梁2280弯曲时为该击发梁提供侧向支撑。另外,闭合管组件2260可以包括上述类型的被构造成能够与外科端部执行器300上的砧座可操作地相互作用的双枢轴闭合套管组件。闭合管组件2260的操作导致以上述各种方式打开和闭合该外科执行器的砧座。
除了下面讨论的差异之外,图59示出了与细长轴组件5200基本相似的另一细长轴组件5700的一部分。具体地讲,关节运动系统5701的关节运动盘5702由可操作地支撑在喷嘴外壳201中的蜗轮马达5710旋转。例如,在一个实施方案中,从动齿轮5703整体形成或以其它方式不可动地附接到关节运动盘5702,使得其与马达5710的蜗轮驱动器5712啮合接合。在所示的示例中,第一关节运动杆或构件5720可以本文所述的各种方式中的任何一种直接附接到外科端部执行器的一部分。第一关节运动销5722附接到第一关节运动杆5720并且被接纳在关节运动盘5702中形成的弓形第一关节运动狭槽5704内。第一关节运动偏压构件5705被接纳在第一关节运动狭槽5704内,用于偏压与第一关节运动销5722的接触。同样,第二关节运动杆或构件5730可以本文所述的各种方式中的任何一种直接或间接地附接到外科端部执行器的一部分。第二关节运动销5732附接到第二关节运动杆5730并且被接纳在关节运动盘5702中形成的弓形第二关节运动狭槽5706内。第二关节运动偏压构件5707被接纳在第二关节运动狭槽5706内,用于偏压与第二关节运动销5732的接触。
图59示出了处于中间或非关节运动构型的关节运动系统5701。在该图中可以看出,第一关节运动销5722与第一关节运动偏压构件5705接触,并且第二关节运动销5732与第二关节运动偏压构件5707接触。然而,当处于该中间位置时,第一关节运动偏压构件5705和第二关节运动偏压构件5707可以不处于压缩状态。马达5710的致动使关节运动盘5702在箭头5601所示的旋转方向上旋转,这将向第一关节运动杆5720施加牵拉运动以使第一关节运动杆5720沿近侧方向“PD”运动,以及向第二关节运动杆5730施加推动运动以使第二关节运动杆5730沿远侧方向“DD”运动。相反,马达5710的致动使关节运动盘5702在箭头5603所示的旋转方向上旋转,这将向第一关节运动杆5720施加推动运动以使第一关节运动杆5720沿远侧方向“DD”运动,以及向第二关节运动杆5730施加牵拉运动以使第二关节运动杆5730沿近侧方向“PD”运动。施加到外科端部执行器的这种“推动和牵拉运动”致使外科端部执行器以上述各种方式围绕关节运动轴线做关节运动。
图60至图65示出了可以与本文所述的各种细长轴组件和执行器构造一起使用的另一个关节运动系统5800。然而,在该实施方案中,关节运动系统5800包括双关节运动盘组件5810,该双关节运动盘组件包括驱动器关节运动盘5820和从动关节运动盘5830。例如,两个关节运动盘5820,5830可以被可旋转地支撑在细长轴组件的喷嘴外壳内,使得两个盘5820,5830都能够围绕公共轴线独立地旋转。在各种实施方案中,可以通过如上所述的关节运动驱动连接件5614和击发构件构造2220将驱动运动施加到驱动器关节运动盘5820。在其它实施方案中,可以上述方式通过蜗轮马达5710将旋转驱动运动施加到驱动器关节运动盘5820。
图61示出了驱动器盘5820的一种形式。从该图可以看出,驱动器盘5820包括各自具有第一弓形长度“FL”的第一对第一弓形关节运动狭槽5822L,5822R。另外,驱动器关节运动盘5820还包括居中地设置在第一关节运动狭槽5822之间的驱动器狭槽5824,如图61中可看到的那样。根据用于驱动驱动器关节运动盘5820的方法,关节运动驱动连接件5614或蜗轮马达5710可以上述各种方式与驱动器关节运动盘5820交接,以向驱动器关节运动盘5820施加旋转运动。图62示出了从动关节运动盘5830的一种形式。从该图可以看出,从动关节运动盘5830包括各自具有小于第一弓形长度“FL”的第二弓形长度“SL”的第二对第二弓形关节运动狭槽5832L,5832R。另外,从动关节运动盘5830还包括被构造成能够被可动地接纳在驱动器狭槽5824内的驱动器柱5834。
现在参见图60和图63至图65,关节运动系统5800还包括可以本文所述的各种方式中的任何一种直接或间接地附接到外科端部执行器的一部分的第一关节运动杆5840。第一关节运动销5842附接到第一关节运动杆5720并且被接纳在对应的第一弓形关节运动狭槽5822L和第二弓形关节运动狭槽5832L内。同样,第二关节运动杆或构件5850可以本文所述的各种方式中的任何一种直接附接到相同外科端部执行器的一部分。第二关节运动销5852附接到第二关节运动杆5850并且被接纳在对应的第一弓形关节运动狭槽5822R和第二弓形关节运动狭槽5832R内。图60示出了处于零点位置的关节运动系统5800,在该位置,外科端部执行器可以自由运动。图63示出了当在箭头5860表示的方向上向驱动器关节运动盘5820初始施加旋转运动时,关节运动系统5800的位置。从该图可以看出,在驱动器关节运动盘5820初始旋转时,关节运动狭槽5822L,5832L彼此偏移并且关节运动狭槽5822R,5832R彼此偏移,但是还没有运动被传送到关节运动杆5840,5850。图64示出了当在箭头5860的方向上继续向驱动器关节运动盘5820施加足以导致例如外科端部执行器相对于轴轴线进行75度关节运动的旋转运动时,关节运动系统5800的位置。从该图可以看出,推动运动被施加到第一关节运动杆5840以使第一关节运动杆5840沿远侧方向“DD”轴向运动,并且牵拉运动被施加到第二关节运动杆5850以使第二关节运动杆5850沿近侧方向“PD”轴向运动。第一关节运动杆5840和第二关节运动杆5850沿相反方向的运动导致与其可操作地交接的外科端部执行器的关节运动。图65示出了当在箭头5862表示的相反方向上向驱动器关节运动盘5820施加足以导致例如外科端部执行器在相反关节运动方向上相对于轴轴线进行75度关节运动的旋转运动时,关节运动系统5800的位置。从该图可以看出,推动运动被施加到第二关节运动杆5850以使第二关节运动杆5850沿远侧方向“DD”轴向运动,并且牵拉运动被施加到第一关节运动杆5840以使第一关节运动杆5840沿近侧方向“PD”轴向运动。第一关节运动杆5840和第二关节运动杆5850的这种相反运动导致可操作地附接到它的外科端部执行器做关节运动。在一种构型中,第一关节运动杆5840可以仅当关节运动驱动盘5820已经旋转足够的距离以达到七十五度的关节运动范围时,才向外科端部执行器施加拉力。
图66至图70示出了外科端部执行器6300,其包括可相对于轴轴线SA-SA同时在打开位置和闭合位置之间运动的第一钳口和第二钳口。在不脱离本发明的精神和范围的情况下,第一钳口和第二钳口可以包括各种外科钳口构造。利用外科端部执行器的钳口进入目标组织有时可能具有挑战性。如果钳口相对于彼此支撑的点与最近侧钉位置之间的距离最小化,则可以增强外科端部执行器,特别是被构造成能够切割和缝合组织的外科端部执行器的可操纵性。例如,那些仅采用一个活动钳口(即,其中一个钳口相对于轴轴线固定)的外科手术端部执行器可能需要一个活动钳口具有相对较大的行进范围以适应目标组织。这种较大的行进范围可能导致使用端部执行器来有利于定位目标组织的过程复杂化。外科端部执行器6300采用相对于彼此和围绕公共枢转轴线的轴轴线运动的第一钳口和第二钳口。例如,与仅采用一个活动钳口的某些外科端部执行器上的相同距离相比,这种构造能够缩短枢转轴线与最近侧钉位置之间的距离。
在所示的示例中,第一钳口6310包括被构造成能够在其中支撑外科钉仓6320的细长通道6312。如图70中可看到的那样,外科钉仓6320被构造成能够在其中可操作地支撑多个钉驱动器6322,所述多个钉驱动器在其上可操作地支撑外科钉6324。钉驱动器6322可动地支撑在形成于外科钉仓6320中的对应驱动器狭槽6321内。钉驱动器6322通过仓盘6330保持在其相应的驱动器狭槽6321内,该仓盘夹到或以其它方式附接到外科钉仓6320。钉驱动器6322在外科钉仓6320中的细长狭槽6326的每一侧上布置成行,以适应击发构件6340从中轴向通过。楔形滑动件6350可动地支撑在外科钉仓6320内,并且被构造成能够在击发构件6340从与外科钉仓6320的近侧端部相邻的起始位置处和在外科钉仓6320的远侧部分内的结束位置处被驱动时,由击发构件6340驱动接合。如上所述,当楔形滑动件6350沿远侧方向被驱动通过外科钉仓6320时,楔形滑动件6350驱动地接触钉驱动器6322以将它们朝向仓平台表面6323驱动。击发构件6340包括组织切割表面6346,当击发构件6340被朝远侧驱动时,该组织切割表面用于切割夹在钳口之间的组织。本文所述的各种类型的远侧击发梁(未示出)可操作地附接到击发构件6340以及中间击发轴部分2222或其它击发系统构造。中间击发轴部分2222驱动和缩回远侧击发梁的操作在上文已经详细讨论过,为了简明起见,将不再重复。在不脱离本发明的精神和范围的情况下,也可以使用其它的击发梁和击发系统构造(马达驱动的以及手动驱动的)来为击发构件提供动力。
所示的外科端部执行器6300还被构造成用于围绕基本上横向于轴轴线SA-SA的关节运动轴线B-B进行选择性关节运动。如图66至图70中可看到的那样,外科端部执行器6300包括端部执行器安装组件6390,其适于枢转地安装到例如远侧轴框架(未示出),该远侧轴框架包括被构造成能够被可旋转地接纳在端部执行器安装组件6390中的安装孔6392内的枢轴销。外科端部执行器6300可通过上述类型的关节运动锁以及第一和第二关节运动杆构造来进行关节运动。如图70中可看到的那样,端部执行器安装组件6390还包括一对相反的侧向延伸的耳轴销6394。耳轴销6394从端部执行器安装组件6390的相反侧面6391侧向延伸,该相反侧面还限定凹坑区域6395,该凹坑区域被构造成能够在其中接纳击发构件6340。耳轴销6394用于限定枢转轴线PA-PA,第一钳口6310和第二钳口6360可围绕该枢转轴线枢转。第一钳口6310或细长通道6312的近侧端部6314包括一对相反的U形或端部开口狭槽6316,其适于在其中接纳耳轴销6394中对应的一者。这种构造用于将第一钳口6310可动地或枢转地轴颈连接到端部执行器安装组件6390。
所示的外科端部执行器6300还包括第二钳口6360,该第二钳口可包括砧座6362。所示的砧座6362包括砧座主体6364,该砧座主体包括细长狭槽6366和在其每一侧上形成的两个钉成形表面6368。砧座6362还具有近侧端部部分6370,该近侧端部部分具有一对U形或端部开口的狭槽6372,该狭槽也适于在其中接纳耳轴销6394中对应的一者。这种构造用于将第二钳口6360可动地或枢转地轴颈连接到端部执行器安装组件6390,使得第一钳口和第二钳口可以相对于彼此以及相对于轴轴线SA-SA运动。第一钳口6310和第二钳口6360可由本文公开的各种类型的闭合系统可动地致动。例如,本文所述类型的第一闭合驱动系统可用于以上述方式致动闭合管。闭合管也可附接到端部执行器闭合套管6272,该端部执行器闭合套管可以上述方式通过双枢轴闭合套管组件枢转地附接到闭合管。如上所述,例如,闭合管的轴向运动可通过致动闭合触发器32来控制。如图67至图69中可看到的那样,端部执行器闭合套管6272在端部执行器安装组件6390之上延伸,并且被构造成能够接合第二钳口6360的近侧端部6370以及第一钳口6310的近侧端部6314。至少一个凸轮表面6336可形成在第一钳口6310的近侧端部6314上,使得当端部执行器闭合套管6272的远侧端部6274接触凸轮表面6336时,第一钳口6310朝向第二钳口和轴轴线SA-SA进行凸轮运动。同样,一个或多个凸轮表面6376可形成在第二钳口6360的近侧端部部分6370上,使得当由端部执行器闭合套管6272的远侧端部6274接触时,第二钳口6360朝向第一钳口6310和轴轴线SA-SA运动。凸轮表面6336,6376可以相对于彼此构造和定位,使得第一钳口和第二钳口以相对于彼此不同的“闭合速率”或闭合时间闭合。一个这种构造示于图68中。如图68中可看到的那样,当第一钳口和第二钳口处于其相应的完全打开位置时,沿第一钳口6310上的点P1和第二钳口6360上对应的点P2之间的弓形路径的距离由DT表示。第一点P1和第二点P2被称为彼此“对应”。例如,第一点P1和第二点P2可各自位于在两点间延伸并与轴轴线SA-SA垂直的公共线或轴线上。沿第一钳口6310上的另一点PA和轴轴线SA-SA之间的弓形路径的距离由D1表示,并且沿第二钳口上的另一个对应点PB和轴轴线SA-SA之间的另一个弓形路径的距离由D2表示。点PA和点PB也被称为彼此对应。例如,点PA和点PB可位于在两点间延伸并与轴轴线SA-SA垂直的公共线或轴线上。在所示的构造中,D2第二钳口6360或砧座6362从完全打开位置运动到其中砧座6362的钉成形表面沿着轴轴线SA-SA布置的闭合位置的距离大于D1第一钳口6310或外科钉仓6320从完全打开位置运动到其中仓平台表面沿着轴轴线SA-SA布置的闭合位置的距离。例如,在至少一种构造中,第二钳口或砧座将打开或运动距离DT(或沿钳口之间的另一行进路径的另一距离)的2/3,并且第一钳口或钉仓将打开或运动距离DT(或沿钳口之间的另一行进路径的其它距离)的1/3,使得实质上,一个钳口达到其完全闭合位置比另一个钳口达到其完全闭合位置更快,即使最初在相同或相似的时间向两个钳口施加一个或多个闭合运动。例如,在不脱离本发明的该实施方案的实质和范围的情况下,可以将第一钳口和第二钳口上的凸轮表面布置/构造成能够获得不同的钳口运动比率/速率。开放型弹簧6380(图70)可定位在第一钳口6310的近侧端部6314和第二钳口6360的近侧端部6370之间,以在端部执行器闭合套管6272定位在开始位置或未致动位置时将第一钳口6310和第二钳口6360偏压到打开位置。参见图67至图69。
为了使第一钳口6310和第二钳口6360运动到闭合位置(图66),临床医生致动闭合系统以沿远侧方向“DD”运动端部执行器闭合套管6272,使其同时接触第一钳口6310的近侧端部6314上的一个或多个凸轮表面6336和第二钳口6360的近侧端部6370上的一个或多个凸轮表面6376,从而将第一钳口6310和第二钳口6360朝向彼此(以及轴轴线SA-SA)偏压到图66所示的位置。当端部执行器闭合套管6272被保持在该位置时,第一钳口6310和第二钳口6360被保持在所述闭合位置。然后,击发系统可被致动以将击发构件6340朝远侧轴向推进穿过外科端部执行器6300。如图70中可看到的那样,击发构件6340可具有被构造成能够可滑动地接合砧座6362的开槽通路6374的底座部分6342和适于被可滑动地接纳在细长通道6312中的开槽通路6318内的顶部突出部部分6344。参见图69。因此,这种击发构件构造用于在击发构件的击发期间(即,在钉的击发和夹在第一钳口6310和第二钳口6360之间的组织的切割期间)以所需的间距布置正向保持第一钳口6310和第二钳口6360。第一钳口盖6315可移除地附接到细长通道6312,并且第二钳口盖6363可移除地附接到砧座6362,以用于组装目的,以及防止组织和/或体液渗入第一钳口和第二钳口,而这可能阻碍或妨碍击发构件6340的操作。
图71示出了与外科端部执行器6300相似的另一外科端部执行器6300'。如该图中可看到的那样,外科端部执行器6300'包括两个钳口,这两个钳口可相对于轴轴线SA-SA同时在打开位置和闭合位置之间运动。在所示的示例中,第一钳口6310’包括细长通道6312’,该细长通道被构造成能够在细长通道中支撑外科钉仓6320’。外科钉仓6320'被构造成能够在其中可操作地支撑多个钉驱动器6322,所述钉驱动器在其上可操作地支撑手术钉6324。钉驱动器6322可动地支撑在形成于外科钉仓6320'中的对应驱动器凹坑6321'内。钉驱动器6322通过仓盘6330'保持在其相应的驱动器凹坑6321'内,该仓盘夹到或以其它方式附接到外科钉仓6320'。钉驱动器6322在外科钉仓6320中的细长狭槽6326'的每一侧上布置成行,以适应击发构件6340'从中轴向通过。楔形滑动件6350'可动地支撑在外科钉仓6320'内,并且被构造成能够在击发构件6340'从与外科钉仓6320'的近侧端部相邻的起始位置处和在外科钉仓6320'的远侧部分内的结束位置处被驱动时,由击发构件6340'驱动接合。如上所述,当楔形滑动件6350'沿远侧方向被驱动通过外科钉仓6320'时,楔形滑动件6350'驱动地接触钉驱动器6322以将它们朝向仓平台表面6323'驱动。击发构件6340'包括组织切割表面6346',当击发构件6340被朝远侧驱动时,该组织切割表面用于切割夹在钳口之间的组织。本文所述的各种类型的远侧击发梁(未示出)可操作地附接到击发构件6340'以及中间击发轴部分2222或其它击发系统构造。中间击发轴部分2222驱动和缩回远侧击发梁的操作在上文已经详细讨论过,为了简明起见,将不再重复。在不脱离本发明的精神和范围的情况下,也可以使用其它的击发梁和击发系统构造(马达驱动的以及手动驱动的)来为击发构件提供动力。
所示的外科端部执行器6300’还被构造成用于围绕基本上横向于轴轴线SA-SA的关节运动轴线B-B进行选择性关节运动。端部执行器6300'包括端部执行器安装组件6390',该端部执行器安装组件适于枢转地安装到例如远侧轴框架,该远侧轴框架包括被构造成能够被可旋转地接纳在端部执行器安装组件6390’中的安装孔6392’内的枢轴销。外科端部执行器6300’可通过上述类型的关节运动锁以及第一和第二关节运动杆构造来进行关节运动。如图71中可看到的那样,端部执行器安装组件6390’还包括一对相反的侧向延伸的耳轴销6394’。耳轴销6394’从端部执行器安装组件6390’的相反侧面6391’侧向延伸,该相反侧面还限定凹坑区域6395’,该凹坑区域被构造成能够在其中接纳击发构件6340’。耳轴销6394’用于限定枢转轴线PA-PA,第一钳口6310’和第二钳口6360’可围绕该枢转轴线枢转。第一钳口6310’或细长通道6312’的近侧端部6314’包括一对相反的U形或端部开口的狭槽6316’,其适于在其中接纳耳轴销6394’中对应的一者。这种构造用于将第一钳口6310’可动地或枢转地轴颈连接到端部执行器安装组件6390’。
所示的外科端部执行器6300’还包括第二钳口6360’,该第二钳口可包括砧座6362’。所示的砧座6362’包括砧座主体6364’,该砧座主体包括细长狭槽6366’和在其每一侧上形成的两个钉成形表面。砧座6362’还具有近侧端部部分6370’,该近侧端部部分具有一对U形或端部开口的狭槽6372’,该狭槽也适于在其中接纳耳轴销6394’中对应的一者。这种构造用于将第二钳口6360’可动地或枢转地轴颈连接到端部执行器安装组件6390’。第一钳口6310’和第二钳口6360’由本文公开的各种类型的闭合系统可动地致动。例如,第一闭合驱动系统30可用于以本文所述的方式致动闭合管260。闭合管260也可附接到端部执行器闭合套管6272,该端部执行器闭合套管可以上述方式通过双枢轴闭合套管组件271枢转地附接到闭合管260。如上所述,例如,闭合管260的轴向运动可通过致动闭合触发器32来控制。端部执行器闭合套管6272在端部执行器安装组件6390’之上延伸,并且被构造成能够接合第二钳口6360’的近侧端部6370’以及第一钳口6310’的近侧端部6314’。至少一个凸轮表面6336’可形成在第一钳口6310’的近侧端部6314’上,使得当端部执行器闭合套管6272的远侧端部6274接触凸轮表面6336’时,第一钳口6310’朝向第二钳口6360’和轴轴线SA-SA进行凸轮运动。同样,一个或多个凸轮表面6376’可形成在第二钳口6360’的近侧端部部分6370’上,使得当由端部执行器闭合套管6272的远侧端部6274接触时,第二钳口6360’朝向第一钳口6310’和轴轴线SA-SA运动。弹簧(未示出)可定位在第一钳口6310’的近侧端部6314’和第二钳口6360’的近侧端部6370’之间,以在端部执行器闭合套管6272定位在开始位置或未致动位置时将第一钳口6310’和第二钳口6360’偏压到打开位置。
为了将第一钳口6310’和第二钳口6360’运动到闭合位置,临床医生致动闭合系统以沿远侧方向“DD”运动端部执行器闭合套管6272,使其同时接触第一钳口6310’的近侧端部6314’上的一个或多个凸轮表面6336’和第二钳口6360’的近侧端部6370’上的一个或多个凸轮表面6376’,从而将第一钳口6310’和第二钳口6360’朝向彼此(以及轴轴线SA-SA)偏压。当端部执行器闭合套管6272被保持在该位置时,第一钳口6310’和第二钳口6360’被保持在所述闭合位置。然后,击发系统可被致动以将击发构件6340’朝远侧轴向推进穿过外科端部执行器6300’。击发构件6340’可具有被构造成能够可滑动地接合砧座6362’的开槽通路6374’的顶部突片部分6344’和适于被可滑动地接纳在细长通道6312’中的开槽通路内的底座部分6342’。因此,这种击发构件构造用于在击发构件的击发期间(即,在钉的击发和夹在第一钳口6310’和第二钳口6360’之间的组织的切割期间)以所需的间距布置正向保持第一钳口6310’和第二钳口6360’。第一钳口盖6315’可移除地附接到细长通道6312’,并且第二钳口盖6363’可移除地附接到砧座6362’,以用于组装目的,以及防止组织和/或体液渗入第一钳口和第二钳口,而这可能阻碍或妨碍击发构件6340’的操作。
本文所述的外科端部执行器实施方案采用既相对于彼此又相对于轴轴线运动的钳口可提供优于其它外科端部执行器构造的各种优点,其中钳口之一是固定的并且不会运动,例如相对于轴轴线运动。在这种构造中,通常期望活动钳口相对于固定钳口具有相对较大的运动范围,使得目标组织能够被操纵、定位并随后夹持在两个钳口之间。在两个钳口均可运动的实施方案中,每个钳口不需要大范围的运动来适应目标组织在钳口之间的操纵、定位和夹持。例如,砧座的这种减少的运动可提供改进的组织定位。这种构造还可使枢转轴线和第一钉位置之间的距离能够被最小化。另外,即使在打开动作和闭合动作期间,击发构件也可以始终保持与活动钳口(砧座和细长通道)接合。
图72至图79示出了另一种外科端部执行器6400,其被构造成能够可操作地附接到本文所述类型的细长轴组件,其限定了轴轴线SA-SA。外科端部执行器6400包括两个钳口,这两个钳口可相对于轴轴线SA-SA同时在打开位置和闭合位置之间运动。第一钳口和第二钳口可包括各种不同的外科相关的钳口构造。在所示的示例中,第一钳口6410包括被构造成能够在其中支撑外科钉仓6420的细长通道6412。如同在上文讨论的各种外科钉仓中一样,外科钉仓6420被构造成能够可操作地在其中支撑多个钉驱动器(未示出),所述多个钉驱动器在其上可操作地支撑外科钉(未示出)。钉驱动器可动地支撑在形成于外科钉仓6420中的对应驱动器凹坑内。钉驱动器在外科钉仓6420中的细长狭槽(未示出)的每一侧上布置成行,以适应击发构件6440从中轴向通过。楔形滑动件(未示出)可动地支撑在外科钉仓6420内,并且被构造成能够在击发构件6440从与外科钉仓6420的近侧端部相邻的起始位置和在外科钉仓6420的远侧部分内的结束位置被驱动时,由击发构件6440驱动接合。如上所述,当楔形滑动件沿远侧方向被驱动通过外科钉仓6420时,该楔形滑动件驱动地接触钉驱动器以将它们朝向仓平台表面(未示出)驱动。击发构件6440包括组织切割表面6446,当击发构件6440被朝远侧驱动时,该组织切割表面用于切割夹在钳口之间的组织。本文所述的各种类型的远侧击发梁(未示出)可操作地附接到击发构件6440以及中间击发轴部分2222或其它击发系统构造。中间击发轴部分2222驱动和缩回远侧击发梁的操作在上文已经详细讨论过,为了简明起见,将不再重复。在不脱离本发明的精神和范围的情况下,也可以使用其它的击发梁和击发系统构造(马达驱动的以及手动驱动的)来为击发构件提供动力。
