Preferably, four detection devices may be configured in the surgical instrument box, two detection devices are used for detecting whether the adapter plate 140 is installed in place (correct working position) or whether there is looseness during use, and the other two detection devices are used for detecting whether the instrument box 120 is installed in place or is in the correct working position (whether there is looseness during use). When four detection devices are configured, two guide rods are pressed against the lower surface of the adapter plate 140, and two holes corresponding to the top ends of the guide rods are formed in the adapter plate 140, so that the guide rods pass through the adapter plate 140 and are pressed against the lower surface of the instrument box 120.
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 loosens, the pressure applied to the guide rod changes, the data acquisition and preprocessing system of the detection device detects the current pressure value, the current pressure value is compared with a preset threshold value, then the loosening state of the adapter plate is judged, and the main control chip sends 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 detects and judges 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 be integrated in 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.
