Description

Operation mechanical arm

Technical Field

The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to operation mechanical arm.

Background

The minimally invasive surgery is an innovation from laparoscopic surgery, single-hole surgery and natural orifice endoscopic surgery, wherein the natural orifice endoscopic surgery is that an endoscopic surgery mechanical arm is sent into a human body along a natural orifice (such as an esophagus, a bronchus and the like) of the human body, and when the tail end of the endoscopic surgery mechanical arm reaches a focus, a tail end surgery manipulator (such as separating forceps, grasping forceps, a needle holder, scissors and the like) is sent to the tail end of the endoscopic surgery mechanical arm along an inner cavity channel of the endoscopic surgery mechanical arm and is fixed at the tail end to execute related surgery. But the most important point limiting the wide application of natural orifice endoscopic surgery is surgical tools, such as endoscopic surgical robotic arms. In the process of delivering the endoscope operation mechanical arm into a human body along a natural cavity, the endoscope operation mechanical arm needs to have certain flexibility to adapt to the complex shape of the natural cavity of the human body; when the end-effector mounted on the distal end of the end-effector performs related surgical operations, the end-effector needs to have certain rigidity so as to provide a stable operation platform for the distal end to perform precise operation control on the end-effector. Therefore, the endoscope operation mechanical arm has the contradiction of rigidity and flexibility.

The endoscope operation mechanical arm in the prior art has higher rigidity relative to a natural cavity of a human body, and cannot be well adapted to the natural cavity of the human body when entering the interior of the human body along the natural cavity; however, when the related operation is performed, the rigidity is not enough to provide a stable platform for the end operation manipulator, so that the control precision of the end operation manipulator is difficult to be ensured.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the invention.

In addition, the technical solutions in the embodiments may be combined with each other, but it must be based on the realization of those skilled in the art, and when the technical solutions are contradictory or cannot be realized, the combination of the technical solutions should not be considered to exist, and is not within the protection scope of the present invention.

The existing axial rigidity changing method of the mechanical arm for endoscopic surgery through a natural cavity comprises the following steps:

(1) the shape locking method comprises the following steps: the surgical manipulator is of a continuum configuration, with a highly redundant tendon sheath mechanism (i.e., a wire drive approach). The driving silk thread longitudinally penetrates through the whole endoscope operation mechanical arm, and the friction force between the adjacent continuum units is increased by increasing the tension force of the driving silk thread so as to prevent the continuum units from rotating mutually, so that the axial rigidity of the endoscope operation mechanical arm is changed. The disadvantages of this method are: to achieve the required stiffness, a large tension of the drive wire is required, resulting in a large mutual pressing force between the individual continuum units, which requires a larger size of the drive wire and thus also of the continuum units. Therefore, the surgical manipulator of the endoscope with controllable rigidity by using the shape locking method has a larger outer diameter generally and cannot be well adapted to the natural cavity of a human body. Furthermore, the drive wire needs to maintain a high tension throughout the procedure, which puts high demands on the fatigue strength of the material.

(2) Particle blocking principle: tiny particles are filled in the closed space, redundant air in the closed space is pumped out, the particles are extruded mutually, and mutual friction generated by extrusion hinders relative movement between the particles, so that the overall rigidity of the mechanical arm is improved. This method is often used for larger sized robotic arms because more particulate is required to provide greater stiffness, which results in the robotic arm becoming bulky and less compact.

(3) By using electrorheological fluid and magnetorheological fluid: under the condition of high electric field or high magnetic field, the state of the electric and magnetic rheological fluids can be changed from liquid state to gel state and then to solid state. However, electro-magneto-rheological fluids provide limited stiffness when transitioning to the solid state. And if the electro-magnetic rheological fluid and the magneto-rheological fluid are converted into a solid state, high pressure of more than 5000V is generally required to be provided, and the safety of the operation is difficult to ensure.

(4) With temperature phase change materials: low melting point metals (such as gallium, indium, tin, etc.) or thermoplastics (ABS, PET, PLA plastic, etc.) soften when the temperature reaches its glass transition temperature; at temperatures below its glass transition temperature, its texture becomes hard. Therefore, this principle is often applied to a variable stiffness method of a surgical robot arm. Firstly, the low melting point metal which is often used is a toxic substance, and the safety of the operation is difficult to be ensured. In addition, in the prior art, a resistance wire is usually arranged in the inner cavity of the surgical mechanical arm, and the temperature of the phase-change material is changed by using resistance heat generated by the resistance wire; and because of the existence of resistance wire current, the cooling method usually adopts room temperature cooling or air cooling. The disadvantages of this approach are: the existence of resistance wire current can cause the potential safety hazard of the operation; the resistance heat generated by the resistance wire is uncontrollable, and the accumulation of the heat causes the temperature of the inner cavity of the surgical mechanical arm to be far higher than the glass transition temperature of the phase-change material so as to reach the melting point of the phase-change material, so that the phase-change material is melted; moreover, the cooling speed of room temperature cooling or air cooling is slow, which affects the operation process. The more obvious disadvantages are: resistance heat in the operation mechanical arm can be conducted to the outer surface of the operation mechanical arm, so that the temperature of the outer surface of the operation mechanical arm is increased, and the outer surface of the operation mechanical arm is attached to the inner wall of a natural cavity of a human body when the operation mechanical arm works, so that the inner wall of the natural cavity of the human body can be burnt due to the overhigh surface temperature.

At normal temperature, the thermoplastic plastics for making the first phase change tube 110 and the second phase change tube 120 are in glass state, and the thermoplastic plastics in glass state have higher hardness; injecting a liquid into the first water conduit 210 and the second water conduit 220, wherein when the temperature of the injected liquid is higher than the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic forming the first phase change tube 110 and the second phase change tube 120 and lower than the melting point of the thermoplastic, the heat of the liquid is conducted to the first phase change tube 110 and the second phase change tube 120 through the first water conduit 210 and the second water conduit 220, so that the thermoplastic forming the first phase change tube 110 and the second phase change tube 120 is transformed from a glass state to a high-elasticity state, and the high-elasticity thermoplastic has a lower hardness, so that the first phase change tube 110 and the second phase change tube 120 are softened at the moment, and the surgical manipulator has a lower axial rigidity; when the temperature of the liquid injected into the first water conduit 210 and the second water conduit 220 is lower than the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic material forming the first phase change tube 110 and the second phase change tube 120, the liquid absorbs the heat in the first water conduit 210, the second water conduit 220, the first phase change tube 110 and the second phase change tube 120, so that the temperature of the thermoplastic material forming the first phase change tube 110 and the second phase change tube 120 is lower than the glass transition temperature thereof, and the thermoplastic material is transformed from a high elastic state to a glass state, and the texture of the first phase change tube 110 and the second phase change tube 120 becomes hard, so that the surgical manipulator has a larger axial stiffness.

Since wrist control line 800 passes over the shoulder of the surgical robot (through the front end chuck 300 and the plurality of shoulder chucks 410), the stretching or releasing of wrist control line 800 by the motor also generates a driving force on the shoulder of the surgical robot. And after the tail end of the operation mechanical arm reaches the approximate focus in the human body, the pose of the wrist is only required to be adjusted, the shoulder is positioned in a natural cavity of the human body, and the pose of the shoulder is not required to be adjusted, so the shoulder control line 700 is also driven by a motor arranged outside the human body to generate a driving force to offset the driving force generated by the wrist control line 800 on the shoulder of the operation mechanical arm, and the pose of the shoulder of the operation mechanical arm cannot be changed when the wrist control line 800 controls the pose of the wrist of the operation mechanical arm.
