Definitions
- the invention relates to a bearing arrangement for a swash plate on a shaft and to a surgical instrument which has such a bearing arrangement.
- Surgical instruments are known from the prior art, which can be guided manually or by a robot, and which have tools whose tool tip can be pivoted by means of a plurality of interlocking pivoting members. These pivot links are connected to a variety of steering wires or cables to provide fine control of the tool tip. A more even force distribution in all bending directions can be achieved with many thin steering wires compared to a few thicker steering wires.
- the design of the drive for the steering wires with the spatially adjustable swash plate on which the steering wires are mounted has the advantage that this enables a spatially com pact design and only one component has to be moved in order to be able to address all steering wires.
- US Pat. No. 10,105,128 B2 discloses a surgical instrument with a mechanism to control the rotation of a swash plate in two degrees of freedom via link rods with drives on the proximal side.
