Description

本発明は、先端に一対の開閉片を備える医療用開閉式鉗子に関する。   The present invention relates to a medical open / close forceps including a pair of open / close pieces at a distal end.

患部等を把持したり切断することが可能な医療用開閉式鉗子の従来例としては、例えば、特許文献1や特許文献2に記載されたものがある。
これらの開閉式鉗子は、先端に設けた一対の開閉片と、一対の開閉片に対して先端が直接又は間接的に連係した操作ワイヤと、操作ワイヤの基端が接続するスライド式の操作手段と、を具備している。
操作手段を基端側(後方)にスライドさせると操作ワイヤが後方に引かれることにより一対の開閉片が閉じ、操作手段を先端側(前方)にスライドさせると操作ワイヤが前方に押されることにより一対の開閉片が開く。そして、一対の開閉片を閉じることにより、患部を把持したり切断できる。
As conventional examples of medical open / close forceps capable of grasping or cutting an affected part or the like, for example, there are those described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2.
These open / close forceps include a pair of open / close pieces provided at the distal end, an operation wire having the distal end linked directly or indirectly to the pair of open / close pieces, and a slide-type operation means in which the proximal end of the operation wire is connected. And.
When the operating means is slid to the base end side (rear), the operating wire is pulled rearward to close the pair of opening / closing pieces, and when the operating means is slid to the front end side (forward), the operating wire is pushed forward. A pair of opening and closing pieces opens. And an affected part can be hold | gripped or cut | disconnected by closing a pair of opening-and-closing piece.

上記公報の開閉式鉗子はいずれも、操作手段を先端側にスライドさせて操作ワイヤを前方に押すことにより一対の開閉片を開いている。
しかし、操作ワイヤは押されたときに座屈をおこし易いので、操作手段に加えた力が開閉片に確実に伝わらなかったり(遊びが生じたり)、開閉片の開くときの移動量が閉じるときの移動量より小さくなるおそれがある。特に全体が可撓性を有する開閉式鉗子を湾曲させた場合は操作ワイヤが湾曲するため、このような問題が生じる可能性が高い。
In each of the open / close forceps disclosed in the above publication, a pair of open / close pieces is opened by sliding the operating means toward the distal end and pushing the operating wire forward.
However, since the operation wire tends to buckle when pressed, the force applied to the operation means is not transmitted to the open / close piece reliably (play occurs), or the movement amount when the open / close piece opens is closed. There is a risk that it will be smaller than the amount of movement. In particular, when the open / close type forceps having flexibility as a whole is bent, the operation wire is bent, so that there is a high possibility that such a problem will occur.

本発明は、開閉片を操作するためのワイヤを開閉片側に向かって押すことなく開閉片を開閉操作可能な医療用開閉式鉗子を提供することを目的とする。   An object of the present invention is to provide a medical open / close forceps capable of opening / closing an open / close piece without pushing a wire for operating the open / close piece toward the open / close piece side.

本発明の医療用開閉式鉗子は、先端に設けた一対の開閉片と、第1牽引ワイヤ及び第2牽引ワイヤと、上記第1牽引ワイヤと第2牽引ワイヤの一方を基端側に牽引すると同時に他方が先端側に引かれるのを許容する操作手段と、上記第1牽引ワイヤ及び第2牽引ワイヤの先端部と上記一対の開閉片とを接続する、第1牽引ワイヤが基端側に牽引されたときに、第2牽引ワイヤを先端側に牽引すると共に両開閉片を閉方向に移動させ、かつ、第2牽引ワイヤが基端側に牽引されたときに、第1牽引ワイヤを先端側に牽引すると共に両開閉片を開方向に移動させる動力伝達機構と、備えることを特徴としている。   The medical open / close type forceps of the present invention pulls a pair of open / close pieces provided at the distal end, the first pulling wire and the second pulling wire, and one of the first pulling wire and the second pulling wire to the proximal end side. At the same time, operating means that allows the other to be pulled toward the distal end side, the distal ends of the first pulling wire and the second pulling wire, and the pair of open / close pieces are connected. The first pulling wire is pulled toward the proximal end side. When the second pulling wire is pulled to the distal end side, both the opening and closing pieces are moved in the closing direction, and when the second pulling wire is pulled to the proximal end side, the first pulling wire is moved to the distal end side. And a power transmission mechanism that moves both opening and closing pieces in the opening direction.

上記動力伝達機構が、上記一対の開閉片にそれぞれ形成した第1ワイヤガイドと、上記第1牽引ワイヤの先端を固定した、上記開閉片と操作手段の間に位置し、開閉片に近づく方向と操作手段に近づく方向とに移動可能な第1移動部材と、上記第2牽引ワイヤの先端を固定した、上記開閉片と操作手段の間に位置し、開閉片に近づく方向と操作手段に近づく方向とに移動可能で第2ワイヤガイドを有する第2移動部材と、両端を上記第1移動部材に固定し、中央部を第2移動部材の上記第2ワイヤガイドに掛け回し、かつ、該中央部と両端部の間を一対の開閉片の上記第1ワイヤガイドにそれぞれ掛け回した開閉用ワイヤと、を備えていてもよい。
この場合、上記一対の開閉片の対向部に、互いに噛合する同一モジュールかつ同一歯数のギヤを形成するのが好ましい。
A first wire guide formed on each of the pair of opening and closing pieces, a position where the distal end of the first pulling wire is fixed, and the power transmission mechanism is positioned between the opening and closing pieces and the operating means; A first moving member that can move in a direction approaching the operating means, and a position where the tip of the second puller wire is fixed is positioned between the opening and closing piece and the operating means, and approaches the opening and closing piece and approaches the operating means. And a second moving member having a second wire guide, both ends fixed to the first moving member, a central portion is wound around the second wire guide of the second moving member, and the central portion And an opening / closing wire that is hung around the first wire guide of the pair of opening / closing pieces.
In this case, it is preferable that gears having the same module and the same number of teeth meshing with each other are formed at the facing portions of the pair of opening and closing pieces.

また、上記動力伝達機構が、上記第1牽引ワイヤの先端部に対して同軸状態で回転する、一方の開閉片に回転可能に接続する第1リンク部材、及び、他方の開閉片に回転可能に接続する第2リンク部材と、上記第2牽引ワイヤの先端部に対して同軸状態で回転する、上記一方の開閉片に回転可能に接続する第3リンク部材、及び、上記他方の開閉片に回転可能に接続する第4リンク部材と、を備えていてもよい。   Further, the power transmission mechanism rotates in a coaxial state with respect to the distal end portion of the first pulling wire, and is connected to one opening / closing piece so as to be rotatable, and can be rotated to the other opening / closing piece. The second link member to be connected, the third link member that rotates coaxially with respect to the distal end portion of the second puller wire, the third link member that is rotatably connected to the one opening / closing piece, and the other opening / closing piece And a fourth link member that can be connected.

また、上記第1牽引ワイヤと第2牽引ワイヤを結合した上で、上記上記動力伝達機構が、上記第1牽引ワイヤと第2牽引ワイヤの結合体が掛け回された回転可能なプーリと、該プーリと一緒に回転する第1回転ギヤと、一方の上記開閉片に固定した、該第1回転ギヤと噛合する第2回転ギヤと、他方の上記開閉片に固定した、該第2回転ギヤと噛合する第3回転ギヤと、を備えていてもよい。
この場合は、上記第2回転ギヤと第3回転ギヤが同一モジュールかつ同一歯数であるのが好ましい。
In addition, after the first pulling wire and the second pulling wire are coupled, the power transmission mechanism includes a rotatable pulley around which a combined body of the first pulling wire and the second pulling wire is wound, A first rotating gear that rotates together with the pulley, a second rotating gear that is fixed to one of the opening and closing pieces and meshes with the first rotating gear, and a second rotating gear that is fixed to the other opening and closing piece; And a third rotating gear that meshes with each other.
In this case, it is preferable that the second rotating gear and the third rotating gear have the same module and the same number of teeth.

また、上記第1牽引ワイヤと第2牽引ワイヤを結合した上で、上記上記動力伝達機構が、上記第1牽引ワイヤと第2牽引ワイヤの結合体が掛け回された回転可能なプーリと、該プーリと一緒に回転する第1回転ギヤと、該第1回転ギヤと噛合する第2回転ギヤと、該第2回転ギヤと噛合する第3回転ギヤと、一方の上記開閉片に固定した、上記第2回転ギヤと噛合する第4回転ギヤと、他方の上記開閉片に固定した、上記第3回転ギヤと噛合する第5回転ギヤと、を備えていてもよい。
この場合は、上記第2回転ギヤと第3回転ギヤが同一モジュールかつ同一歯数であり、かつ、上記第4回転ギヤと第5回転ギヤが同一モジュールかつ同一歯数であるのが好ましい。
In addition, after the first pulling wire and the second pulling wire are coupled, the power transmission mechanism includes a rotatable pulley around which a combined body of the first pulling wire and the second pulling wire is wound, A first rotation gear that rotates together with the pulley, a second rotation gear that meshes with the first rotation gear, a third rotation gear that meshes with the second rotation gear, and one of the opening and closing pieces, A fourth rotation gear that meshes with the second rotation gear and a fifth rotation gear that meshes with the third rotation gear fixed to the other opening / closing piece may be provided.
In this case, it is preferable that the second rotating gear and the third rotating gear have the same module and the same number of teeth, and the fourth rotating gear and the fifth rotating gear have the same module and the same number of teeth.

本発明によれば、操作手段を操作すると第1牽引ワイヤと第2牽引ワイヤの一方が基端側に牽引されるのと同時に他方が先端側に引かれる。第1牽引ワイヤが操作手段によって基端側に牽引された場合は、動力伝達機構が第2牽引ワイヤを先端側に牽引すると共に両開閉片を閉方向に移動させる。一方、第2牽引ワイヤが操作手段によって基端側に牽引された場合は、動力伝達機構が第1牽引ワイヤを先端側に牽引すると共に両開閉片を開方向に移動させる。
このように開閉片を閉じるときだけでなく開くときも、第1牽引ワイヤと第2牽引ワイヤは先端側に押されるのではなく基端側または先端側に引かれるので、操作手段を操作したときに第1牽引ワイヤと第2牽引ワイヤが座屈を起こすことはない。そのため、操作手段に加えた力は開閉片に確実に伝わる(遊びが生じない)ので、開閉片は確実に開閉する。さらに、開閉片の開くときの移動量が閉じるときの移動量より小さくなることもない。
According to the present invention, when the operating means is operated, one of the first pulling wire and the second pulling wire is pulled to the proximal end side, and at the same time, the other is pulled to the distal end side. When the first pulling wire is pulled to the proximal end side by the operating means, the power transmission mechanism pulls the second pulling wire to the distal end side and moves both opening and closing pieces in the closing direction. On the other hand, when the second pulling wire is pulled to the proximal end side by the operating means, the power transmission mechanism pulls the first pulling wire to the distal end side and moves both opening and closing pieces in the opening direction.
Thus, when opening and closing the opening / closing piece, the first pulling wire and the second pulling wire are not pushed to the distal end side but pulled to the proximal end side or the distal end side. In addition, the first pulling wire and the second pulling wire do not buckle. Therefore, the force applied to the operating means is reliably transmitted to the opening / closing piece (no play occurs), so that the opening / closing piece opens and closes reliably. Furthermore, the movement amount when the opening / closing piece is opened is not smaller than the movement amount when the opening / closing piece is closed.

さらに、一対の開閉片の開閉動作に連動して噛合しながら回転する対をなすギヤを同一モジュールかつ同一歯数にすれば、一対の開閉片は対称をなすように開閉する。   Further, if the paired gears that rotate while meshing in conjunction with the opening and closing operation of the pair of opening and closing pieces are made the same module and the same number of teeth, the pair of opening and closing pieces opens and closes symmetrically.

The operation lever 13 is rotatable between a closing operation position shown in FIG. 1 and an opening operation position shown in FIG.

回転支持軸12には操作レバー13と一体化した(相対回転不能な)回動レバー(操作手段)15が回転可能に支持してあり、回動レバー15の両端部には共に略前後方向に延びかつ同じ長さである金属製の第1牽引ワイヤW1及び第2牽引ワイヤW2の後端がそれぞれ固定してある。第1牽引ワイヤW1の前端は円柱状の金属部材である第1移動部材18に固定してある。図示するように第1移動部材18には、その中心部から外れた位置に、第1移動部材18を前後方向に貫通する断面円形の案内支持孔19が形成してある。図3等に示すように、第1移動部材18の周囲は前後方向に延びる金属製かつ円筒形形状の先端ケース22によって覆ってあり、後部ケース11の前端部と先端ケース22の後端部には、ゴム等の可撓性材料からなり第1牽引ワイヤW1及び第2牽引ワイヤW2の周囲に位置する外皮チューブ21の前後両端がそれぞれ接続(固定)してある。先端ケース22の後部の左右に形成した一対の案内長孔23に、第1移動部材18に固定した左右一対の案内ピン20がそれぞれ嵌合しているので、第1移動部材18は先端ケース22に対して前後方向にスライド可能かつ先端ケース22の軸線周りに回転不能である。図4等に示すように第1移動部材18の案内支持孔19には、金属製の第2移動部材29の後部がスライド可能に嵌合しており、第2移動部材29の後端に第2牽引ワイヤW2の前端が固定してある。第2移動部材29の前端部には上下一対の案内ピン30が一体的に形成してあり、上下の案内ピン30が先端ケース22の上下に形成した一対の案内長孔24にそれぞれ嵌合しているので、第2移動部材29は先端ケース22に対して前後方向にスライド可能かつ先端ケース22の軸線周りに回転不能である。さらに下側の案内ピン30の周面には円周形状のワイヤガイド溝を有するワイヤガイド(第2ワイヤガイド)28が固定してある。   A rotation lever (operation means) 15 integrated with the operation lever 13 (non-relatively rotatable) 15 is rotatably supported on the rotation support shaft 12, and both ends of the rotation lever 15 are substantially in the front-rear direction. The rear ends of the first pulling wire W1 and the second pulling wire W2 made of metal that extend and have the same length are fixed to each other. The front end of the first pulling wire W1 is fixed to a first moving member 18 that is a cylindrical metal member. As shown in the drawing, the first moving member 18 is formed with a guide support hole 19 having a circular cross section penetrating the first moving member 18 in the front-rear direction at a position deviated from the center. As shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the periphery of the first moving member 18 is covered with a metallic and cylindrical tip case 22 extending in the front-rear direction, and the front end portion of the rear case 11 and the rear end portion of the tip case 22 are covered. Are made of a flexible material such as rubber, and the front and rear ends of the outer tube 21 positioned around the first pulling wire W1 and the second pulling wire W2 are respectively connected (fixed). Since the pair of left and right guide pins 20 fixed to the first moving member 18 are fitted in the pair of guide long holes 23 formed on the left and right of the rear portion of the tip case 22, the first moving member 18 is connected to the tip case 22. On the other hand, it can slide in the front-rear direction and cannot rotate around the axis of the tip case 22. As shown in FIG. 4 and the like, the rear part of the second moving member 29 made of metal is slidably fitted in the guide support hole 19 of the first moving member 18, and the second moving member 29 has a rear end at the rear end. 2 The front end of the pulling wire W2 is fixed. A pair of upper and lower guide pins 30 are integrally formed at the front end portion of the second moving member 29, and the upper and lower guide pins 30 are respectively fitted into a pair of guide long holes 24 formed above and below the tip case 22. Therefore, the second moving member 29 is slidable in the front-rear direction with respect to the tip case 22 and is not rotatable about the axis of the tip case 22. Further, a wire guide (second wire guide) 28 having a circumferential wire guide groove is fixed to the peripheral surface of the lower guide pin 30.

先端ケース22の前部には、左右一対のスリット25と、左端部に設けた上下一対の回転支持孔26と、右端部に設けた上下一対の回転支持孔27と、が形成してある。先端ケース22の前部内には対をなす共に金属製の第1開閉片32と第2開閉片37の後端部が位置している。第1開閉片32と第2開閉片37は略左右対称形状であるが、第1開閉片32の前半部の上半部全体が凹部33になっているのに対して、第2開閉片37の前半部の上半部には右方(第1開閉片32側)に向かって延びる刃部38が突設してある。第1開閉片32の後端部には上下一対の回転軸34が突設してあり、第2開閉片37の後端部には案内ピン30及び回転軸34と平行な上下一対の回転軸39が突設してある。上下の回転軸34は先端ケース22の上下の回転支持孔27に回転可能に嵌合しており、上下の回転軸39は先端ケース22の上下の回転支持孔26に回転可能に嵌合しているので、第1開閉片32と第2開閉片37は、前半部の下半部の対向面どうしが接触すると共に刃部38が凹部33の上面に位置する全閉位置(図1、図3〜図6の位置)と、互いに左右方向に離間する全開位置(図2、図7、図8の位置)と、の間を回転可能である。さらに、図5及び図7等に示すように、第1開閉片32の上側の回転軸34及び第2開閉片37の上側の回転軸39には、モジュールと歯数と転位係数がいずれも同一であり、かつ適切なバックラッシ量が設定された状態で互いに噛合する、共に金属製のギヤ35とギヤ40が固定してあるので、第1開閉片32と第2開閉片37は平面視において回転軸34と回転軸39の中間位置を前後方向に通る基準直線(図示略)に対して常に左右対称に回転する。また、第1開閉片32と第2開閉片37の下面には、回転軸34の直前に位置する円柱形状のワイヤガイド(第1ワイヤガイド)36とワイヤガイド(第1ワイヤガイド)41が突設してある。
さらに、第1移動部材18の前面の左右両側部には開閉用ワイヤW3(例えば、金属製)の両端部が固定してある。開閉用ワイヤW3は図示の態様でワイヤガイド36と回転軸34、及び、ワイヤガイド41と回転軸39に掛け回してあり、かつ、開閉用ワイヤW3の中央部は第2移動部材29と一体化したワイヤガイド28の後部に掛け回してある。図示するように、開閉用ワイヤW3は上記基準直線に対して左右対称となっている。
以上説明した構成のうち第1移動部材18、第2移動部材29、ワイヤガイド36、ワイヤガイド41、及び、開閉用ワイヤW3が動力伝達機構の構成要素である。
A pair of left and right slits 25, a pair of upper and lower rotation support holes 26 provided at the left end, and a pair of upper and lower rotation support holes 27 provided at the right end are formed in the front portion of the tip case 22. A pair of metal first opening / closing pieces 32 and a second opening / closing piece 37 are located in the front portion of the front case 22 in pairs. The first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 are substantially bilaterally symmetric, but the entire upper half of the front half of the first opening / closing piece 32 is a recess 33, whereas the second opening / closing piece 37. An upper half of the front half is provided with a blade 38 extending toward the right side (first opening / closing piece 32 side). A pair of upper and lower rotating shafts 34 project from the rear end portion of the first opening / closing piece 32, and a pair of upper and lower rotating shafts parallel to the guide pin 30 and the rotating shaft 34 are disposed at the rear end portion of the second opening / closing piece 37. 39 protrudes. The upper and lower rotary shafts 34 are rotatably fitted in the upper and lower rotary support holes 27 of the tip case 22, and the upper and lower rotary shafts 39 are rotatably fitted in the upper and lower rotary support holes 26 of the tip case 22. Therefore, the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 are in the fully closed position where the opposing surfaces of the lower half of the front half are in contact with each other and the blade 38 is positioned on the upper surface of the recess 33 (FIGS. 1 and 3). (Position of FIG. 6) and a fully open position (positions of FIG. 2, FIG. 7, FIG. 8) that are separated from each other in the left-right direction. Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, etc., the rotation shaft 34 on the upper side of the first opening / closing piece 32 and the rotation shaft 39 on the upper side of the second opening / closing piece 37 all have the same number of modules, teeth and dislocation coefficient. Since the gear 35 and the gear 40, which are meshed with each other in a state where an appropriate backlash amount is set, are fixed to each other, the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 rotate in a plan view. The shaft 34 and the rotating shaft 39 always rotate symmetrically with respect to a reference straight line (not shown) passing through an intermediate position in the front-rear direction. In addition, a cylindrical wire guide (first wire guide) 36 and a wire guide (first wire guide) 41 positioned immediately before the rotation shaft 34 protrude from the lower surfaces of the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37. It is set up.
Further, both ends of an opening / closing wire W3 (for example, metal) are fixed to the left and right side portions of the front surface of the first moving member 18. The opening / closing wire W3 is wound around the wire guide 36 and the rotating shaft 34, and the wire guide 41 and the rotating shaft 39 in the illustrated manner, and the central portion of the opening / closing wire W3 is integrated with the second moving member 29. The wire guide 28 is hung around the rear part. As shown in the figure, the open / close wire W3 is symmetrical with respect to the reference straight line.
Among the configurations described above, the first moving member 18, the second moving member 29, the wire guide 36, the wire guide 41, and the opening / closing wire W3 are components of the power transmission mechanism.

続いて開閉式鉗子10の動作について説明する。
開閉式鉗子10は、例えば患者の口から体腔内に挿入して使用するものである。この際、患者の口から体腔内に可撓性を有するチューブを挿入するか、あるいは内視鏡を挿入する。チューブを挿入する場合は、チューブ内に開閉式鉗子10の先端側を挿入して第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37をチューブの先端開口から体腔内に突出させ、後部ケース11を患者の体外に位置させる。一方、内視鏡を挿入する場合は、内視鏡の操作部近傍に形成した処置具挿入用開口から開閉式鉗子10の先端側を内視鏡の内部管路に挿入し、内視鏡の挿入部の先端面に形成した該内部管路の出口開口から第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37を体腔内に突出し、後部ケース11を上記処置具挿入用開口の外部(患者の外部)に位置させる。
Next, the operation of the open / close forceps 10 will be described.
The open-and-close forceps 10 is used by being inserted into a body cavity from a patient's mouth, for example. At this time, a flexible tube is inserted into the body cavity from the patient's mouth, or an endoscope is inserted. When the tube is inserted, the distal end side of the open / close forceps 10 is inserted into the tube so that the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 protrude from the distal opening of the tube into the body cavity, and the rear case 11 is inserted into the patient's body. Position it outside the body. On the other hand, when inserting an endoscope, the distal end side of the open / close-type forceps 10 is inserted into the internal conduit of the endoscope from the treatment instrument insertion opening formed in the vicinity of the operation portion of the endoscope, and the endoscope The first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 protrude into the body cavity from the outlet opening of the internal conduit formed on the distal end surface of the insertion portion, and the rear case 11 is located outside the treatment instrument insertion opening (external to the patient). To be located.

例えば、操作レバー13が後部ケース11に対して図1に示す閉操作位置に位置するとき、第1移動部材18、第2移動部材29、第1開閉片32、及び第2開閉片37は先端ケース22に対して図1、図3〜図6に示す位置に位置するので、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37は全閉位置に位置する。
この状態で術者が後部ケース11を把持しながら指を操作レバー13の指掛け孔14に入れ、操作レバー13を図2の開操作位置側に回転させると、図2に示すように第2牽引ワイヤW2が後方(基端側)に牽引される。すると、第2移動部材29(案内ピン30)が先端ケース22(案内長孔24)に対して後方にスライドするので、開閉用ワイヤW3の中央部がワイヤガイド28によって回転軸34及び回転軸39に対して後方に引かれる。すると開閉用ワイヤW3に図5及び図7に示すT2方向の力が掛かるので、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37が互いに離れる方向に回転し、かつ、開閉用ワイヤW3の牽引力によって第1移動部材18が先端ケース22(案内長孔24)に対して第2移動部材29の後方への移動距離と同じだけ前方にスライドする。そして、操作レバー13が図2の開操作位置に達したときに、第1移動部材18及び第2移動部材29は図7及び図8に示す位置に達し、かつ開閉用ワイヤW3が図7及び図8に示す形状になるので、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37が図7及び図8に示す全開位置まで移動する。このように操作レバー13を全開位置側に回転させると、第1移動部材18が前方にスライドすることにより第1牽引ワイヤW1が前方に引かれるが、操作レバー13の回転に伴って回動レバー15が図1の位置から図2の位置まで回転するので、(操作レバー13及び回動レバー15によって)第1牽引ワイヤW1の前方への移動は許容される。
For example, when the operation lever 13 is located at the closing operation position shown in FIG. 1 with respect to the rear case 11, the first moving member 18, the second moving member 29, the first opening / closing piece 32, and the second opening / closing piece 37 are at the leading ends. 1 and FIGS. 3 to 6 with respect to the case 22, the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 are located at the fully closed position.
In this state, when the operator holds the rear case 11 and puts his finger into the finger hooking hole 14 of the operation lever 13 and rotates the operation lever 13 to the open operation position side in FIG. 2, the second pulling is performed as shown in FIG. The wire W2 is pulled backward (base end side). Then, since the second moving member 29 (guide pin 30) slides backward with respect to the tip case 22 (guide long hole 24), the central portion of the opening / closing wire W3 is rotated by the wire guide 28 with the rotation shaft 34 and the rotation shaft 39. Is pulled backwards against. Then, since the force in the T2 direction shown in FIGS. 5 and 7 is applied to the opening / closing wire W3, the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 rotate away from each other, and the first pulling force of the opening / closing wire W3 The one moving member 18 slides forward with respect to the tip case 22 (guide long hole 24) by the same distance as the second moving member 29 moves backward. When the operation lever 13 reaches the opening operation position in FIG. 2, the first moving member 18 and the second moving member 29 reach the positions shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, and the opening / closing wire W3 is in FIG. Since it becomes the shape shown in FIG. 8, the 1st opening / closing piece 32 and the 2nd opening / closing piece 37 move to the fully open position shown in FIG.7 and FIG.8. When the operation lever 13 is rotated to the fully open position side in this way, the first moving member 18 slides forward, whereby the first pulling wire W1 is pulled forward. As the operation lever 13 rotates, the rotation lever Since 15 rotates from the position of FIG. 1 to the position of FIG. 2, the first puller wire W1 is allowed to move forward (by the operation lever 13 and the rotation lever 15).

一方、この状態で術者が操作レバー13を図1の閉操作位置側に回転させると、図1に示すように第1牽引ワイヤW1が後方(基端側)に牽引されるので、第1移動部材18が先端ケース22(案内長孔23)に対して後方にスライドする。すると、開閉用ワイヤW3の両端部が第1移動部材18によって後方に牽引されるので、開閉用ワイヤW3には図5及び図7に示すT1方向の力が掛かる。そのため、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37が互いに近づく方向に回転し、かつ、開閉用ワイヤW3の中央部によって前方に引かれた第2移動部材29(ワイヤガイド28)が前方にスライドする。そして、操作レバー13が図1の閉操作位置に達したときに、第1移動部材18及び第2移動部材29は図3〜図6に示す位置に達し、かつ開閉用ワイヤW3が図3〜図6に示す形状になるので、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37が図3〜図6に示す全閉位置まで移動する。第1開閉片32と第2開閉片37の間に体腔内の患部等を位置させた状態で第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37を全閉位置まで回転させれば、第2開閉片37の刃部38と第1開閉片32の間で当該患部等が切除される。また、このように操作レバー13を全閉位置側に回転させると、第2移動部材29が前方にスライドすることにより第2牽引ワイヤW2が前方に引かれるが、操作レバー13の回転に伴って回動レバー15が図2の位置から図1の位置まで回転するので(操作レバー13及び回動レバー15によって)第2牽引ワイヤW2の前方への移動が許容される。   On the other hand, when the operator rotates the operation lever 13 to the closing operation position side in FIG. 1 in this state, the first pulling wire W1 is pulled backward (base end side) as shown in FIG. The moving member 18 slides backward with respect to the tip case 22 (guide long hole 23). Then, since both ends of the opening / closing wire W3 are pulled backward by the first moving member 18, a force in the T1 direction shown in FIGS. 5 and 7 is applied to the opening / closing wire W3. Therefore, the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 rotate in a direction approaching each other, and the second moving member 29 (wire guide 28) pulled forward by the central portion of the opening / closing wire W3 slides forward. To do. When the operating lever 13 reaches the closing operation position in FIG. 1, the first moving member 18 and the second moving member 29 reach the positions shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, and the opening / closing wire W3 is in FIG. Since it becomes the shape shown in FIG. 6, the 1st opening / closing piece 32 and the 2nd opening / closing piece 37 move to the fully closed position shown in FIGS. If the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 are rotated to the fully closed position with the affected part in the body cavity positioned between the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37, the second opening / closing piece The affected part or the like is excised between the 37 blade portions 38 and the first opening / closing piece 32. Further, when the operation lever 13 is rotated to the fully closed position in this way, the second pulling wire W2 is pulled forward by the second moving member 29 sliding forward, but as the operation lever 13 rotates, Since the rotation lever 15 rotates from the position of FIG. 2 to the position of FIG. 1 (the operation lever 13 and the rotation lever 15), the second puller wire W2 is allowed to move forward.

以上説明したように本実施形態の開閉式鉗子10は、操作レバー13を閉操作位置側に操作するときだけでなく開操作位置側に操作するときも、第1牽引ワイヤW1と第2牽引ワイヤW2の一方が後方(基端側)に牽引されるのと同時に他方が前方(先端側)に引かれ、第1牽引ワイヤW1と第2牽引ワイヤW2が回動レバー15によって前方に押圧されることがない。そのため、操作レバー13を操作したときに第1牽引ワイヤW1及び第2牽引ワイヤW2が座屈を起こすことはなく、操作レバー13に加えた力を第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37に確実に伝えることができるので(遊びが生じないので)、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37を確実に開閉させることが可能である。さらに、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37の開くときの移動量と閉じるときの移動量が同じになる。   As described above, the open-and-close forceps 10 of the present embodiment has the first pulling wire W1 and the second pulling wire not only when the operation lever 13 is operated to the closing operation position but also to the opening operation position. At the same time one of W2 is pulled backward (base end side), the other is pulled forward (tip end side), and the first pulling wire W1 and the second pulling wire W2 are pressed forward by the rotating lever 15. There is nothing. Therefore, the first pulling wire W1 and the second pulling wire W2 do not buckle when the operation lever 13 is operated, and the force applied to the operation lever 13 is applied to the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37. Since it can be transmitted reliably (no play occurs), the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 can be reliably opened and closed. Further, the movement amount when the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 are opened is the same as the movement amount when the first opening / closing piece 37 is closed.

なお、図9に示すように、後部ケース11に操作レバー13(及び上記長孔)を設ける代わりに電力式の駆動装置(操作手段)を設けてもよい。
図9では図示を省略してあるが、図9の開閉式鉗子10’の後部ケース11内部に設けた回転支持軸12には第1牽引ワイヤW1及び第2牽引ワイヤW2の後端を固定した回動レバー15が回転可能に支持してあり、後部ケース11の内部には回動レバー15を正逆両方向に回転させるためのモータ45と、モータ45と接続する制御装置46と、モータ45に電力を供給するための電源(図示略)と、が設けてあり、後部ケース11の表面には制御装置46と接続する操作入力手段47(例えばボタン等)が設けてある。
従って、操作入力手段47を操作することにより制御装置46からモータ45に信号を送りモータ45を正方向に回転させれば、開閉式鉗子10’の回動レバー15、第1牽引ワイヤW1、及び第2牽引ワイヤW2が図2と同じ状態になるので、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37が全開位置側に回転する。一方、操作入力手段47を操作することによりモータ45を逆方向に回転させれば、開閉式鉗子10’の回動レバー15、第1牽引ワイヤW1、及び第2牽引ワイヤW2が図1と同じ状態になるので、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37が全閉位置側に回転する。なお、操作入力手段47を操作している間モータ45は正方向または逆方向に回転し続けるが、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37が全開位置または全閉位置に到達すると、電源からモータ45への電力の供給が自動的に遮断される。また、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37が全開位置と全閉位置の間に位置するときに操作入力手段47を操作してモータ45への電力の供給を遮断すれば、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37は当該位置(操作入力手段47を操作した時の位置)に保持される。
As shown in FIG. 9, instead of providing the operation lever 13 (and the long hole) in the rear case 11, a power-type drive device (operation means) may be provided.
Although not shown in FIG. 9, the rear ends of the first pulling wire W1 and the second pulling wire W2 are fixed to the rotation support shaft 12 provided in the rear case 11 of the open / close forceps 10 ′ of FIG. A rotating lever 15 is rotatably supported, and a motor 45 for rotating the rotating lever 15 in both forward and reverse directions, a controller 46 connected to the motor 45, and a motor 45 are provided in the rear case 11. A power supply (not shown) for supplying electric power is provided, and an operation input means 47 (for example, a button) connected to the control device 46 is provided on the surface of the rear case 11.
Accordingly, if a signal is sent from the control device 46 to the motor 45 by operating the operation input means 47 and the motor 45 is rotated in the forward direction, the turning lever 15 of the open / close type forceps 10 ', the first pulling wire W1, and Since the 2nd pulling wire W2 will be in the same state as FIG. 2, the 1st opening / closing piece 32 and the 2nd opening / closing piece 37 rotate to the full open position side. On the other hand, when the motor 45 is rotated in the reverse direction by operating the operation input means 47, the turning lever 15, the first pulling wire W1, and the second pulling wire W2 of the open / close type forceps 10 ′ are the same as those in FIG. Thus, the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 rotate to the fully closed position side. While the operation input means 47 is being operated, the motor 45 continues to rotate in the forward direction or the reverse direction. However, when the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 reach the fully open position or the fully closed position, the motor 45 The supply of power to the motor 45 is automatically shut off. If the operation input means 47 is operated to cut off the supply of power to the motor 45 when the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 are located between the fully open position and the fully closed position, The piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 are held at this position (position when the operation input means 47 is operated).

続いて、図10〜図15を参照しながら本発明の第2の実施形態を説明する。なお、第1の実施形態と同じ部材には同じ符号を付すに止めて、その詳細な説明は省略する。

The front end portion of the first link member 68A is connected to the connection piece 62 so as to be rotatable around a left-right axis, and the front end portion of the second link member 68B is connected to the connection piece 66 so as to be rotatable around a left-right axis. is doing.
On the other hand, the rear end portions of the third link member 69A and the fourth link member 69B, which have the same specifications as the first link member 68A and the second link member 68B, are positioned in the concave portion 58 of the support member 57 in a state where they are overlapped on the left and right. Both end portions of the rotation support shaft that penetrate the rear end portions of the third link member 69A and the fourth link member 69B so as to be relatively rotatable in the left-right direction are respectively fixed to the inner surfaces (left and right side surfaces) of the recess 58. .

Among the configurations described above, the first link member 68A, the second link member 68B, the third link member 69A, and the fourth link member 69B are components of the power transmission mechanism.

続いて開閉式鉗子50の動作について説明する。
例えば、操作レバー13が閉操作位置(本実施形態では図2の位置)に位置するとき、第1開閉片60及び第2開閉片65は図10、12、14に示す全閉位置に位置する。
この状態で術者が操作レバー13を開操作位置(本実施形態では図1の位置)側に回転させると、第2牽引ワイヤW2及びスライド部材54が後方(基端側)に牽引されるので、支持部材57に支持されている第3リンク部材69A及び第4リンク部材69Bが後方に移動する。すると、第3リンク部材69Aと接続している接続片61が後方に引かれるので第1開閉片60が回転軸63まわりに図10〜図13の時計方向に回転し、第4リンク部材69Bと接続している接続片67が後方に引かれるので第2開閉片65が回転軸63まわりに図10〜図13の反時計方向に回転する。そして、操作レバー13が図1の開操作位置に達したときに、第3リンク部材69A及び第4リンク部材69Bが図11、13、15に示す位置に達するので、第1開閉片60及び第2開閉片65が図11、13、15に示す全開位置まで移動する。このように第1開閉片60及び第2開閉片65が全開位置まで移動すると、第1開閉片60の接続片62と接続している第1リンク部材68A、及び、第2開閉片65の接続片66と接続している第2リンク部材68Bが前方に引かれるので、第1リンク部材68Aと第2リンク部材68Bの後端部に接続している支持部材55が前方に引かれ、さらに第1牽引ワイヤW1が前方に引かれる。しかし、操作レバー13の回転に伴って回動レバー15が図2の位置から図1の位置まで回転するので、(操作レバー13及び回動レバー15によって)第1牽引ワイヤW1の前方への移動は許容される。
Next, the operation of the open / close forceps 50 will be described.
For example, when the operation lever 13 is located at the closing operation position (the position shown in FIG. 2 in this embodiment), the first opening / closing piece 60 and the second opening / closing piece 65 are located at the fully closed positions shown in FIGS. .
In this state, when the operator rotates the operation lever 13 to the open operation position (the position of FIG. 1 in this embodiment), the second pulling wire W2 and the slide member 54 are pulled backward (base end side). The third link member 69A and the fourth link member 69B supported by the support member 57 move rearward. Then, since the connection piece 61 connected to the third link member 69A is pulled rearward, the first opening / closing piece 60 rotates around the rotation shaft 63 in the clockwise direction in FIGS. 10 to 13 and the fourth link member 69B. Since the connected connecting piece 67 is pulled rearward, the second opening / closing piece 65 rotates around the rotation shaft 63 in the counterclockwise direction of FIGS. When the operation lever 13 reaches the opening operation position of FIG. 1, the third link member 69A and the fourth link member 69B reach the positions shown in FIGS. The two open / close pieces 65 are moved to the fully open positions shown in FIGS. When the first opening / closing piece 60 and the second opening / closing piece 65 move to the fully open position in this way, the connection of the first link member 68A connected to the connection piece 62 of the first opening / closing piece 60 and the second opening / closing piece 65 is achieved. Since the second link member 68B connected to the piece 66 is pulled forward, the support member 55 connected to the rear end portion of the first link member 68A and the second link member 68B is pulled forward, and further One pulling wire W1 is pulled forward. However, since the rotation lever 15 rotates from the position of FIG. 2 to the position of FIG. 1 as the operation lever 13 rotates, the first puller wire W1 moves forward (by the operation lever 13 and the rotation lever 15). Is acceptable.

一方、この状態で術者が操作レバー13を図2の閉操作位置側に回転させると、第1牽引ワイヤW1及びスライド部材53が後方(基端側)に牽引されるので、支持部材55に支持されている第1リンク部材68A及び第2リンク部材68Bが後方に移動する。すると、第1リンク部材68Aと接続している接続片62が後方に引かれるので第1開閉片60が回転軸63まわりに図10〜図13の反時計方向に回転し、第2リンク部材68Bと接続している接続片66が後方に引かれるので第2開閉片65が回転軸63まわりに図10〜図13の時計方向に回転する。そして、操作レバー13が図2の閉操作位置に達したときに、第1リンク部材68A及び第2リンク部材68Bが図10、12、14に示す位置に達するので、第1開閉片60及び第2開閉片65が図10、12、14に示す全閉位置まで移動する。このように第1開閉片60及び第2開閉片65が全閉位置まで移動すると、第1開閉片60の接続片61と接続している第3リンク部材69A、及び、第2開閉片65の接続片67と接続している第4リンク部材69Bが前方に引かれるので、第3リンク部材69Aと第4リンク部材69Bの後端部に接続している支持部材57が前方に引かれ、さらに第2牽引ワイヤW2が前方に引かれる。しかし、操作レバー13の回転に伴って回動レバー15が図1の位置から図2の位置まで回転するので、(操作レバー13及び回動レバー15によって)第2牽引ワイヤW2の前方への移動は許容される。
なお、第1リンク部材68Aと第2リンク部材68Bは常に上下対称に回転し、かつ、第3リンク部材69Aと第4リンク部材69Bも常に上下対称に回転するので、第1開閉片60と第2開閉片65は開方向と閉方向のいずれに回転するときも上下対称に回転する。
On the other hand, when the surgeon rotates the operation lever 13 to the closing operation position side in FIG. 2 in this state, the first pulling wire W1 and the slide member 53 are pulled backward (base end side). The supported first link member 68A and second link member 68B move rearward. Then, since the connecting piece 62 connected to the first link member 68A is pulled rearward, the first opening / closing piece 60 rotates around the rotation shaft 63 in the counterclockwise direction of FIGS. 10 to 13 and the second link member 68B. Since the connecting piece 66 connected to is pulled backward, the second opening / closing piece 65 rotates around the rotation shaft 63 in the clockwise direction of FIGS. Then, when the operation lever 13 reaches the closing operation position in FIG. 2, the first link member 68A and the second link member 68B reach the positions shown in FIGS. The two opening / closing pieces 65 move to the fully closed position shown in FIGS. Thus, when the first opening / closing piece 60 and the second opening / closing piece 65 move to the fully closed position, the third link member 69A connected to the connection piece 61 of the first opening / closing piece 60 and the second opening / closing piece 65 Since the fourth link member 69B connected to the connection piece 67 is pulled forward, the third link member 69A and the support member 57 connected to the rear end portion of the fourth link member 69B are pulled forward, and further The second puller wire W2 is pulled forward. However, the rotation lever 15 rotates from the position of FIG. 1 to the position of FIG. 2 as the operation lever 13 rotates, so that the second puller wire W2 moves forward (by the operation lever 13 and the rotation lever 15). Is acceptable.
Since the first link member 68A and the second link member 68B always rotate vertically symmetrically, and the third link member 69A and the fourth link member 69B always rotate vertically symmetrically, the first opening / closing piece 60 and the first link member The two opening / closing pieces 65 rotate symmetrically in the vertical direction when rotating in either the opening direction or the closing direction.

以上説明したように本実施形態の開閉式鉗子50も、操作レバー13を閉操作位置側に操作するときだけでなく開操作位置側に操作するときも、第1牽引ワイヤW1と第2牽引ワイヤW2の一方が後方(基端側)に牽引されるのと同時に他方が前方(先端側)に引かれ、第1牽引ワイヤW1と第2牽引ワイヤW2が前方に押圧されることがない。そのため、第1の実施形態と同様の効果が得られる。   As described above, the opening / closing type forceps 50 of the present embodiment also includes the first pulling wire W1 and the second pulling wire not only when the operation lever 13 is operated to the closing operation position but also to the opening operation position. One side of W2 is pulled backward (base end side) and at the same time the other side is pulled forward (tip end side), and the first pulling wire W1 and the second pulling wire W2 are not pushed forward. Therefore, the same effect as the first embodiment can be obtained.

続いて、図16〜図22を参照しながら本発明の第3の実施形態を説明する。なお、従前の実施形態と同じ部材には同じ符号を付すに止めて、その詳細な説明は省略する。
本実施形態の開閉式鉗子70も後端部に後部ケース11を具備しており、後部ケース11には外皮チューブ21の後端部が固定してある。本実施形態における第1牽引ワイヤW1と第2牽引ワイヤW2の上下位置は第2の実施形態と同じであり、第1牽引ワイヤW1は回動レバー15の上端部に固定してあり、第2牽引ワイヤW2は回動レバー15の下端部に固定してある。外皮チューブ21の前端部は金属からなる略円筒形状の先端ケース71の後端部に固定してある。先端ケース71の上下部にはスリット72が形成してあり、先端ケース71には左右一対の回転支持孔73、74、75が形成してある。
先端ケース71の左右の回転支持孔73には左右方向に延びる回転軸76の両端部が回転可能に嵌合してあり、回転軸76にはプーリ77と金属製のギヤ(第1回転ギヤ)78が左右に重ねて固定してある。第1牽引ワイヤW1と第2牽引ワイヤW2の前端どうしは互いに固定してあり、かつプーリ77に掛け回してある。さらに、本実施形態では第1牽引ワイヤW1と第2牽引ワイヤW2の周囲にカバーコイル79がそれぞれ相対移動可能に被せてある。
第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37の後端部は先端ケース71の内部に位置しており、第1開閉片32と第2開閉片37の後端部にそれぞれ固定した左右一対の回転軸80と回転軸81が左右の回転支持孔74と回転支持孔75にそれぞれ回転可能に嵌合している。さらに、第1開閉片32の右面の後端部と第2開閉片37の後端部には、共に金属製であるギヤ(第2回転ギヤ)82とギヤ(第3回転ギヤ)83がそれぞれ一体的に形成してある。図示するようにギヤ82はギヤ78より肉厚であり、ギヤ82の右半部がギヤ78と噛合している。ギヤ83はギヤ82より薄肉であり、ギヤ82の左半部と噛合している。さらに、ギヤ78とギヤ83の左右位置は互いにずれているので、ギヤ78とギヤ83は噛合していない。ギヤ82とギヤ83の肉厚は互いに異なるものの、両者の断面形状(側面形状)におけるモジュールと歯数と転位係数はいずれも同一であり、かつ適切なバックラッシ量が設定されている。
以上説明した構成のうちプーリ77、ギヤ78、ギヤ82、及び、ギヤ83が動力伝達機構の構成要素である。
Subsequently, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. It should be noted that the same members as those of the previous embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
The open-and-close forceps 70 of this embodiment also includes a rear case 11 at the rear end, and the rear end of the outer tube 21 is fixed to the rear case 11. The vertical positions of the first pulling wire W1 and the second pulling wire W2 in this embodiment are the same as those in the second embodiment, and the first pulling wire W1 is fixed to the upper end portion of the rotating lever 15, and the second The pulling wire W <b> 2 is fixed to the lower end portion of the rotation lever 15. The front end portion of the outer tube 21 is fixed to the rear end portion of a substantially cylindrical tip case 71 made of metal. Slits 72 are formed in the upper and lower portions of the tip case 71, and a pair of left and right rotation support holes 73, 74, 75 are formed in the tip case 71.
Both ends of a rotation shaft 76 extending in the left-right direction are rotatably fitted in the left and right rotation support holes 73 of the tip case 71, and a pulley 77 and a metal gear (first rotation gear) are fitted to the rotation shaft 76. 78 is fixed by overlapping on the left and right. The front ends of the first pulling wire W1 and the second pulling wire W2 are fixed to each other and are wound around the pulley 77. Further, in the present embodiment, the cover coils 79 are placed around the first pulling wire W1 and the second pulling wire W2 so as to be relatively movable.
The rear end portions of the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 are positioned inside the tip case 71, and a pair of left and right rotations fixed to the rear end portions of the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37, respectively. A shaft 80 and a rotating shaft 81 are rotatably fitted in the left and right rotation support holes 74 and the rotation support holes 75, respectively. Furthermore, a gear (second rotating gear) 82 and a gear (third rotating gear) 83, both of which are made of metal, are provided at the rear end portion of the right surface of the first opening / closing piece 32 and the rear end portion of the second opening / closing piece 37, respectively. It is formed integrally. As shown, the gear 82 is thicker than the gear 78, and the right half of the gear 82 is engaged with the gear 78. The gear 83 is thinner than the gear 82 and meshes with the left half of the gear 82. Further, since the left and right positions of the gear 78 and the gear 83 are shifted from each other, the gear 78 and the gear 83 are not engaged with each other. Although the thicknesses of the gear 82 and the gear 83 are different from each other, the module, the number of teeth, and the dislocation coefficient in the cross-sectional shape (side surface shape) of both are the same, and an appropriate backlash amount is set.
Among the configurations described above, the pulley 77, the gear 78, the gear 82, and the gear 83 are components of the power transmission mechanism.

続いて開閉式鉗子70の動作について説明する。
例えば、操作レバー13が図2の閉操作位置に位置するとき、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37は図16、18、20、22に示す全閉位置に位置する。
この状態で術者が操作レバー13を図1の開操作位置側に回転させると第2牽引ワイヤW2が後方に牽引されると共に第1牽引ワイヤW1が前方に牽引されるので、プーリ77及びギヤ78が回転軸76を中心に図20及び図21において反時計方向に回転する。すると、ギヤ82が図20及び図21において時計方向に回転し、かつ、ギヤ83が図20及び図21において反時計方向に回転するので、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37が互いに離れる方向に回転する。そして、操作レバー13が図1の開操作位置に達したときに、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37が図19及び図21に示す全開位置まで移動する。このように操作レバー13を全開位置側に回転させると第1牽引ワイヤW1が前方に引かれるが、操作レバー13の回転に伴って回動レバー15が図2の位置から図1の位置まで回転するので、(操作レバー13及び回動レバー15によって)第1牽引ワイヤW1の前方への移動は許容される。
Next, the operation of the open / close type forceps 70 will be described.
For example, when the operation lever 13 is located at the closing operation position in FIG. 2, the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 are located at the fully closed positions shown in FIGS. 16, 18, 20, and 22.
In this state, when the operator rotates the operation lever 13 to the open operation position side in FIG. 1, the second pulling wire W2 is pulled backward and the first pulling wire W1 is pulled forward. 78 rotates counterclockwise in FIGS. 20 and 21 around the rotation shaft 76. Then, the gear 82 rotates clockwise in FIGS. 20 and 21, and the gear 83 rotates counterclockwise in FIGS. 20 and 21, so that the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 are separated from each other. Rotate in the direction. When the operation lever 13 reaches the opening operation position in FIG. 1, the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 move to the fully open position shown in FIGS. Thus, when the operating lever 13 is rotated to the fully open position side, the first pulling wire W1 is pulled forward, but as the operating lever 13 rotates, the rotating lever 15 rotates from the position of FIG. 2 to the position of FIG. Therefore, the forward movement of the first pulling wire W1 is allowed (by the operation lever 13 and the rotation lever 15).

一方、この状態で術者が操作レバー13を図2の閉操作位置側に回転させると、第1牽引ワイヤW1が後方(基端側)に牽引されると共に第2牽引ワイヤW2が前方(先端側)に牽引されるので、プーリ77及びギヤ78が回転軸76を中心に図20及び図21において時計方向に回転する。すると、ギヤ82が図20及び図21において反時計方向に回転し、かつ、ギヤ83が図20及び図21において時計方向に回転するので、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37が互いに近づく方向に回転する。そして、操作レバー13が図2の閉操作位置に達したときに、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37が図16、18、20、22に示す全閉位置まで移動する。このように操作レバー13を全閉位置側に回転させると第2牽引ワイヤW2が前方に引かれるが、操作レバー13の回転に伴って回動レバー15が図1の位置から図2の位置まで回転するので、(操作レバー13及び回動レバー15によって)第2牽引ワイヤW2の前方への移動は許容される。
なお、ギヤ82とギヤ83はモジュールと歯数と転位係数はいずれも同一であり、かつ適切なバックラッシ量が設定されているので、第1開閉片32と第2開閉片37は開方向と閉方向のいずれに回転するときも上下対称に回転する。
On the other hand, when the operator rotates the operation lever 13 to the closing operation position side in FIG. 2 in this state, the first pulling wire W1 is pulled backward (base end side) and the second pulling wire W2 is forward (distal tip). 21), the pulley 77 and the gear 78 rotate in the clockwise direction in FIG. 20 and FIG. Then, the gear 82 rotates counterclockwise in FIGS. 20 and 21, and the gear 83 rotates clockwise in FIGS. 20 and 21, so that the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 approach each other. Rotate in the direction. When the operation lever 13 reaches the closing operation position in FIG. 2, the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 move to the fully closed positions shown in FIGS. 16, 18, 20, and 22. Thus, when the operation lever 13 is rotated to the fully closed position side, the second pulling wire W2 is pulled forward, but the rotation lever 15 is moved from the position of FIG. 1 to the position of FIG. Since it rotates, the forward movement of the second pulling wire W2 is allowed (by the operation lever 13 and the turning lever 15).
Since the gear 82 and the gear 83 have the same module, the same number of teeth, and a shift coefficient, and an appropriate backlash amount is set, the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 are opened and closed. When rotating in any direction, it rotates vertically.

以上説明したように本実施形態の開閉式鉗子70も、操作レバー13を閉操作位置側に操作するときだけでなく開操作位置側に操作するときも、第1牽引ワイヤW1と第2牽引ワイヤW2の一方が後方(基端側)に牽引されるのと同時に他方が前方(先端側)に引かれ、第1牽引ワイヤW1と第2牽引ワイヤW2が前方に押圧されることがない。そのため、第1の実施形態と同様の効果が得られる。
さらに、第1及び第2の実施形態に比べて動力伝達機構が簡単なので、低コストで製造可能である。
As described above, the opening / closing type forceps 70 of the present embodiment also includes the first pulling wire W1 and the second pulling wire not only when the operation lever 13 is operated to the closed operation position but also to the open operation position. One side of W2 is pulled backward (base end side) and at the same time the other side is pulled forward (tip end side), and the first pulling wire W1 and the second pulling wire W2 are not pushed forward. Therefore, the same effect as the first embodiment can be obtained.
Furthermore, since the power transmission mechanism is simple compared to the first and second embodiments, it can be manufactured at low cost.

最後に、図23〜図29を参照しながら本発明の第4の実施形態を説明する。なお、従前の実施形態と同じ部材には同じ符号を付すに止めて、その詳細な説明は省略する。
本実施形態の開閉式鉗子90も後端部に後部ケース11を具備しており、後部ケース11には外皮チューブ21の後端部が固定してある。本実施形態における第1牽引ワイヤW1と第2牽引ワイヤW2の上下位置は第2の実施形態と同じであり、第1牽引ワイヤW1は回動レバー15の上端部に固定してあり、第2牽引ワイヤW2は回動レバー15の下端部に固定してある。外皮チューブ21の前端部は金属からなる略円筒形状の先端ケース91の後端部に固定してある。先端ケース91の前半部の上下にはスリット92が形成してあり、先端ケース91には左右一対の回転支持孔73、93、94、95、96が形成してある。
先端ケース91の左右の回転支持孔73には回転軸76の左右両端部が回転可能に嵌合している。また、左右の回転支持孔93には金属製のギヤ(第3回転ギヤ)99と一体化した左右方向に延びる回転軸98の左右両端部が回転可能に嵌合しており、左右の回転支持孔94には金属製のギヤ(第2回転ギヤ)101と一体化した左右方向に延びる回転軸100の左右両端部が回転可能に嵌合している。図示するようにギヤ101はギヤ78より肉厚であり、ギヤ101の右半部がギヤ78と噛合している。ギヤ99はギヤ101より薄肉であり、ギヤ101の左半部と噛合している。さらに、ギヤ78とギヤ99の左右位置は互いにずれているので、ギヤ78とギヤ99は噛合していない。ギヤ99とギヤ101の肉厚は互いに異なるものの、両者の断面形状(側面形状)におけるモジュールと歯数と転位係数はいずれも同一であり、かつ適切なバックラッシ量が設定されている。
先端ケース91の左右の回転支持孔95には第1開閉片32に設けた回転軸80の左右両端部が回転可能に嵌合しており、左右の回転支持孔96には第2開閉片37に設けた回転軸81の左右両端部が回転可能に嵌合している。さらに、第1開閉片32の左側面の後端部にはギヤ99と噛合する金属製のギヤ(第5回転ギヤ)103が一体的に形成してあり、第2開閉片37の左側面の後端部にはギヤ101と噛合する金属製のギヤ(第4回転ギヤ)104が一体的に形成してある。図示するようにギヤ103とギヤ104は歯数が異なるものの、両者の断面形状(側面形状)におけるモジュールと歯数と転位係数はいずれも同一であり、かつ適切なバックラッシ量が設定されている。
以上説明した構成のうちプーリ77、ギヤ78、ギヤ99、ギヤ101、ギヤ103、及び、ギヤ104が動力伝達機構の構成要素である。
Finally, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. It should be noted that the same members as those of the previous embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
The open-and-close forceps 90 of this embodiment also includes a rear case 11 at the rear end, and the rear end of the outer tube 21 is fixed to the rear case 11. The vertical positions of the first pulling wire W1 and the second pulling wire W2 in this embodiment are the same as those in the second embodiment, and the first pulling wire W1 is fixed to the upper end portion of the rotating lever 15, and the second The pulling wire W <b> 2 is fixed to the lower end portion of the rotation lever 15. The front end portion of the outer tube 21 is fixed to the rear end portion of a substantially cylindrical tip case 91 made of metal. A slit 92 is formed above and below the front half of the tip case 91, and a pair of left and right rotation support holes 73, 93, 94, 95, and 96 are formed in the tip case 91.
The left and right ends of the rotation shaft 76 are rotatably fitted in the left and right rotation support holes 73 of the tip case 91. The left and right rotation support holes 93 are rotatably fitted with left and right ends of a rotation shaft 98 that is integrated with a metal gear (third rotation gear) 99 and extends in the left-right direction. The left and right end portions of the rotating shaft 100 extending in the left-right direction integrated with the metal gear (second rotating gear) 101 are rotatably fitted in the hole 94. As illustrated, the gear 101 is thicker than the gear 78, and the right half of the gear 101 is engaged with the gear 78. The gear 99 is thinner than the gear 101 and meshes with the left half of the gear 101. Further, since the left and right positions of the gear 78 and the gear 99 are shifted from each other, the gear 78 and the gear 99 are not engaged with each other. Although the thicknesses of the gear 99 and the gear 101 are different from each other, the modules, the number of teeth, and the dislocation coefficient in the cross-sectional shape (side shape) of the both are the same, and an appropriate backlash amount is set.
The left and right rotation support holes 95 of the tip case 91 are rotatably fitted to the left and right ends of the rotary shaft 80 provided in the first opening / closing piece 32, and the left and right rotation support holes 96 are fitted to the second opening / closing piece 37. The left and right ends of the rotation shaft 81 provided on the shaft are fitted rotatably. Further, a metal gear (fifth rotating gear) 103 that meshes with the gear 99 is integrally formed at the rear end portion of the left side surface of the first opening / closing piece 32, and the left side surface of the second opening / closing piece 37 is formed. A metal gear (fourth rotation gear) 104 that meshes with the gear 101 is integrally formed at the rear end portion. As shown in the figure, the gear 103 and the gear 104 have different numbers of teeth, but the modules, the number of teeth, and the dislocation coefficient are the same in both cross-sectional shapes (side shapes), and an appropriate backlash amount is set.
Among the configurations described above, the pulley 77, the gear 78, the gear 99, the gear 101, the gear 103, and the gear 104 are components of the power transmission mechanism.

続いて開閉式鉗子90の動作について説明する。
例えば、操作レバー13が図2の閉操作位置に位置するとき、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37は図23、25、27、29に示す全閉位置に位置する。
この状態で術者が操作レバー13を図1の開操作位置側に回転させると、本実施形態では第2牽引ワイヤW2が後方(基端側)に牽引されると共に第1牽引ワイヤW1が前方(先端側)に牽引されるので、プーリ77及びギヤ78が回転軸76を中心に図27及び図28において反時計方向に回転する。すると、ギヤ101が図27及び図28において時計方向に回転し、かつ、ギヤ99が図27及び図28において反時計方向に回転する。従って、ギヤ101と噛合しているギヤ104が反時計方向に回転し、かつ、ギヤ99と噛合しているギヤ103が時計方向に回転するので、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37が互いに離れる方向に回転する。そして、操作レバー13が開操作位置に達したときに、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37が図24、26、28に示す全開位置まで移動する。このように操作レバー13を全開位置側に回転させると第1牽引ワイヤW1が前方に引かれるが、操作レバー13の回転に伴って回動レバー15が図2の位置から図1の位置まで回転するので、(操作レバー13及び回動レバー15によって)第1牽引ワイヤW1の前方への移動は許容される。
Next, the operation of the open / close type forceps 90 will be described.
For example, when the operation lever 13 is located at the closing operation position in FIG. 2, the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 are located at the fully closed positions shown in FIGS. 23, 25, 27, and 29.
In this state, when the operator rotates the operation lever 13 toward the opening operation position in FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, the second pulling wire W2 is pulled backward (base end side) and the first pulling wire W1 is moved forward. Since the pulley 77 and the gear 78 are pulled by the (front end side), the pulley 77 and the gear 78 rotate counterclockwise in FIGS. Then, the gear 101 rotates clockwise in FIGS. 27 and 28, and the gear 99 rotates counterclockwise in FIGS. Accordingly, the gear 104 engaged with the gear 101 rotates counterclockwise, and the gear 103 engaged with the gear 99 rotates clockwise, so that the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 are Rotate away from each other. When the operation lever 13 reaches the opening operation position, the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 move to the fully opened position shown in FIGS. Thus, when the operating lever 13 is rotated to the fully open position side, the first pulling wire W1 is pulled forward, but as the operating lever 13 rotates, the rotating lever 15 rotates from the position of FIG. 2 to the position of FIG. Therefore, the forward movement of the first pulling wire W1 is allowed (by the operation lever 13 and the rotation lever 15).

一方、この状態で術者が操作レバー13を図2の閉操作位置側に回転させると、第1牽引ワイヤW1が後方(基端側)に牽引されると共に第2牽引ワイヤW2が前方(先端側)に牽引されるので、プーリ77及びギヤ78が回転軸76を中心に図27及び図28において時計方向に回転する。すると、ギヤ101が図27及び図28において反時計方向に回転し、かつ、ギヤ99が図27及び図28において時計方向に回転する。従って、ギヤ101と噛合しているギヤ104が時計方向に回転し、かつ、ギヤ99と噛合しているギヤ103が反時計方向に回転するので、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37が互いに近づく方向に回転する。そして、操作レバー13が図2の閉操作位置に達したときに、第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37が図23、25、27、29に示す全閉位置まで移動する。このように操作レバー13を全閉位置側に回転させると第2牽引ワイヤW2が前方に引かれるが、操作レバー13の回転に伴って回動レバー15が図1の位置から図2の位置まで回転するので、(操作レバー13及び回動レバー15によって)第2牽引ワイヤW2の前方への移動は許容される。
なお、ギヤ99とギヤ101はモジュールと歯数と転位係数はいずれも同一で適切なバックラッシ量が設定されており、かつ、ギヤ103とギヤ104はモジュールと歯数と転位係数はいずれも同一で適切なバックラッシ量が設定されているので、第1開閉片32と第2開閉片37は開方向と閉方向のいずれに回転するときも上下対称に回転する。
On the other hand, when the operator rotates the operation lever 13 to the closing operation position side in FIG. 2 in this state, the first pulling wire W1 is pulled backward (base end side) and the second pulling wire W2 is forward (distal tip). The pulley 77 and the gear 78 are rotated in the clockwise direction in FIGS. 27 and 28 about the rotation shaft 76. Then, the gear 101 rotates counterclockwise in FIGS. 27 and 28, and the gear 99 rotates clockwise in FIGS. Therefore, the gear 104 meshing with the gear 101 rotates clockwise, and the gear 103 meshing with the gear 99 rotates counterclockwise, so that the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 are Rotate in a direction approaching each other. When the operation lever 13 reaches the closing operation position in FIG. 2, the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 move to the fully closed positions shown in FIGS. 23, 25, 27, and 29. Thus, when the operation lever 13 is rotated to the fully closed position side, the second pulling wire W2 is pulled forward, but the rotation lever 15 is moved from the position of FIG. 1 to the position of FIG. Since it rotates, the forward movement of the second pulling wire W2 is allowed (by the operation lever 13 and the turning lever 15).
The gear 99 and the gear 101 have the same module, the number of teeth, and the shift coefficient, and an appropriate backlash amount is set, and the gear 103, the gear 104 have the same module, the number of teeth, and the shift coefficient. Since an appropriate backlash amount is set, the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 rotate symmetrically in the vertical direction when rotating in either the opening direction or the closing direction.

以上説明したように本実施形態の開閉式鉗子90も、操作レバー13を閉操作位置側に操作するときだけでなく開操作位置側に操作するときも、第1牽引ワイヤW1と第2牽引ワイヤW2の一方が後方(基端側)に牽引されるのと同時に他方が前方(先端側)に引かれ、第1牽引ワイヤW1と第2牽引ワイヤW2が前方に押圧されることがない。そのため、第1の実施形態と同様の効果が得られる。
さらに、ギヤ103、ギヤ104とギヤ78との間にギヤ99とギヤ101を介在させているので、ギヤ99とギヤ101の歯数を調整することにより第1開閉片32及び第2開閉片37のトルクを精度よく調整できる。また、ギヤ78とギヤ103、104との間に配置するギヤの数を増やして減速比を調整すれば、第1牽引ワイヤW1と第2牽引ワイヤW2の牽引ストローク量を調整したり、第1開閉片32と第2開閉片37に伝わる力を調整できる。
As described above, the open-and-close forceps 90 of the present embodiment also has the first pulling wire W1 and the second pulling wire not only when the operation lever 13 is operated to the closed operation position but also to the open operation position. One side of W2 is pulled backward (base end side) and at the same time the other side is pulled forward (tip end side), and the first pulling wire W1 and the second pulling wire W2 are not pushed forward. Therefore, the same effect as the first embodiment can be obtained.
Further, since the gear 99 and the gear 101 are interposed between the gear 103, the gear 104, and the gear 78, the first opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 are adjusted by adjusting the number of teeth of the gear 99 and the gear 101. Can be adjusted with high accuracy. If the reduction ratio is adjusted by increasing the number of gears arranged between the gear 78 and the gears 103, 104, the traction stroke amount of the first traction wire W1 and the second traction wire W2 can be adjusted, The force transmitted to the opening / closing piece 32 and the second opening / closing piece 37 can be adjusted.

以上、上記実施形態に基づいて本発明を説明したが、本発明は様々な変更を施しながら実施可能である。
例えば、第1開閉片32、第2開閉片37、第1開閉片60、第2開閉片65の代わりに、刃部を具備しない第1開閉片と第2開閉片を具備していてもよい。このような構造にすれば、第1開閉片と第2開閉片を閉じることにより体腔内の患部等を切断することなく把持できる。
As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on the said embodiment, this invention can be implemented, giving various changes.
For example, instead of the first opening / closing piece 32, the second opening / closing piece 37, the first opening / closing piece 60, and the second opening / closing piece 65, a first opening / closing piece and a second opening / closing piece not provided with a blade portion may be provided. . With such a structure, the affected part in the body cavity can be grasped without being cut by closing the first opening / closing piece and the second opening / closing piece.
