For the purpose of promoting a better understanding of the objects, aspects and advantages of the present disclosure, reference is made to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which some, but not all embodiments of the disclosure are shown. Indeed, various embodiments of the disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will satisfy applicable legal requirements.
In a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a flexible surgical instrument is provided. Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a flexible surgical instrument according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the present disclosure provides a flexible surgical instrument including an end effector 231, a wrist structure 232, a multi-lumen catheter 233, and a drive device 234. One end of the multi-cavity catheter 233 is connected with the driving device 234; one end of the wrist structure 232 is connected with the other end of the multi-lumen catheter 233; an end effector 231 is connected to the other end of the wrist structure 232.
Each component will be described below.
The wrist structure 232, multi-lumen catheter 233 are used to connect the end effector 231 and the driver 234.
The driving device 234 is used to control the movement of the end effector 231. For example, wrist structure 232 is a movable structure, and drive 234 may also be used to control the movement of wrist structure 232.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, wrist structure 232 may have a spatial 2 degree of freedom that may be controlled by drive 234 to achieve a 4-way bend, as shown in fig. 2 and 3. Referring to FIG. 4, wrist structure 232 includes a metal-cut tube 321 and a distal portion of a multi-lumen catheter, with metal-cut tube 321 fitting around the exterior of multi-lumen catheter 233. Under normal temperature, the inner diameter of the metal cutting tube 321 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the multi-lumen catheter 233 by a difference m.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the material of the metal cutting tube 321 may be selected from stainless steel, which is aimed at utilizing its characteristic of large thermal expansion coefficient to make it easier to fit with the multi-lumen catheter 233.
Fig. 5 is a schematic structural view of a metal cutting pipe. As shown in fig. 5, a first hollow 321a and a second hollow 321b are formed on the metal cutting pipe 321, and the first hollow 321a and the second hollow 321b are symmetrically distributed on two sides of the axis of the metal cutting pipe 321. Two adjacent hollow phase angles in the axial direction have a phase difference of 180 degrees. The first hollow 321a or the second hollow 321b disposed on the metal cutting pipe 321 can make the original stainless steel pipe with large elasticity, and the stainless steel pipe can be bent within a certain angle range by applying an external force to the stainless steel pipe.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the cutouts provided on the metal cutting tube 321 are made by laser cutting, and the surgical instrument outer diameter is typically within 10mm, at which scale the unilateral wall thickness of the stainless steel tubing for laser cutting is provided within 0.3 mm. In the manufacturing process of the stainless steel pipe, the error of the inner diameter can be controlled within plus or minus 0.02mm, and the error of the outer diameter can be controlled within plus or minus 0.03mm by the multi-lumen catheter 233 extrusion process. Through experiments, under the existing manufacturing process conditions, the difference m between the designed inner diameter value of the metal cutting pipe 321 and the designed outer diameter value of the multi-cavity catheter 233 is set to be 0.07-0.1mm, so that the metal cutting pipe 321 and the multi-cavity catheter 233 can be ensured not to fall off after being sleeved.
Referring to FIG. 4, compression holes 233a are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the multi-lumen catheter 233 in order to facilitate bending of the distal end of the multi-lumen catheter 233. The compression holes 233a extend radially through the multi-lumen catheter 233 and perpendicularly through the wire-passing holes 233 b. Two adjacent compression holes 233a are 180 degrees out of phase.
Fig. 6 is a schematic view of the drive wire installation. As shown in FIG. 6, the driving wire 322 has a screw thread 323 at one end and is installed in the driving unit 234 after passing through a wire-passing hole 233b provided in the multi-lumen catheter 233. After the driving wire 322 is tensioned, the screw thread 323 is clamped at the end surface 233c of the multi-lumen catheter 233.
Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of a wrist structure movement implementation. As shown in fig. 7, when the driving wire 322a is pulled, the first hollow 321a (the second hollow 321b) and the compression hole 233a on the same side of the driving wire 322a are compressed, and the wrist structure 232 is bent in the direction a shown in the figure. Similarly, pulling on drive wire 322B causes wrist structure 232 to bend in direction B, opposite direction A. Pulling the drive wire 322C, the wrist structure 232 bends in the direction C; pulling the drive wire 322D bends the wrist structure in the direction D.
So far, the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
