When the adaptor plate 140 is assembled with the instrument driving box 130, the adaptor plate 140 drives the guide rod 4, the guide rod 4 moves, and the detection device corresponding to the guide rod detects and judges whether the adaptor plate 140 is installed in place. When the surgical instrument is used and the adapter plate 140 is loosened, the pressure applied to the guide rod is changed, the data acquisition and preprocessing system of the detection device detects the current pressure value, the current pressure value is compared with the preset threshold value, the loosening state of the adapter plate is judged, and the main control chip gives out a warning.
When the instrument box 120 is assembled with the instrument driving box 130, the top end of the guide rod 4 passes through the hole on the adapter plate 140 and is pressed against the lower surface of the instrument box, when the instrument box is assembled, the corresponding guide rod 4 moves, and the detection device corresponding to the guide rod moves to detect and judge whether the instrument box 120 is installed in place. When the surgical instrument box 120 is loosened in the using process, the pressure applied to the guide rod is changed, the data acquisition and preprocessing system of the detection device detects the current pressure value, and after the current pressure value is compared with the preset threshold value, the loosening state of the instrument box 120 is judged, and the main control chip gives out a warning.
The detection device has small overall dimension and is convenient to integrate into a compact mechanical structure; the guide rod is guided for multiple times, so that the guide rod pushes the pressing block to apply positive pressure to the pressure-sensitive device, the accuracy of pressure measurement is improved, the resistance value of the sensing piece is directly measured to obtain the pressure value, and the measurement reliability is ensured; the sensor is not influenced by the interference of the external electromagnetic environment, does not generate electromagnetic interference to the outside, and is particularly important for medical instruments.
The pressure-sensitive sensing piece is used for continuously measuring the contact pressure, so that whether the adapter plate and the instrument box are installed at the correct working positions or not can be detected, and whether the adapter plate and the instrument box are loosened or not and the correct working positions or not can be monitored in real time in the using process.
