In the embodiment, each bearing is a rolling bearing, so that the friction force of transmission is extremely small, and convenience is further provided for force feedback of operation.
In the embodiment, all the parts related to the rotating shaft are provided with the bearing bushes made of the polytetrafluoroethylene materials, so that the friction coefficient is reduced to a very small degree, the friction force is reduced, and a convenient condition is further provided for realizing force feedback of the operation.
When the instrument system works, the power of the motor in the power part is directly transmitted to the claw part steel wire driving wheel and the long rod steel wire driving wheel through the flange after being reduced, so that the claw part is controlled to work, the transmission path is short, a plurality of intermediate links are omitted, the motor is equivalent to direct rotation, and the steel wire is pulled to rotate forwards or backwards. Based on this, the stress state of the claw part can be more sensitively fed back to the motor shaft. In the whole steel wire transmission process, friction is generated only at the guide sheave, so that force feedback is more sensitive.
The upper and lower partition plates of the sterile separator are used for clamping a sterile cover, and the sterile cover isolates a mechanical arm seat, a motor output shaft and a mechanical arm (not shown in the figure) of the robot, so that the interior of the instrument is in a sterile environment.
In operation,sterile divider 200 is attached topower section 100, andinstrument 300 is attached tosterile divider 200.
In most cases, theoutput flange 104,transition flange 201, andinput flange 301 are not bonded to each other, the respective convex hulls do not enter the grooves and notches, and the jaw surgical tool is not controlled.
Themotor 101 is rotated, under the action of friction force, several flanges may rotate simultaneously without relative rotation until the surgical tools at the jaw part of the instrument are limited by the rotation from the rotation to the limit, and after the limitation, the flanges of the instrument stop rotating.
When the motor continues to rotate, thetransition flange 201 and theinput flange 301 generate relative movement, when the convex hull of the flange is opposite to the groove, thetransition flange 201 moves towards the apparatus under the action of thespring 124, and the convex hull is inserted into the groove, so that theinput flange 301 and thetransition flange 201 are combined.
At this time, the two flanges are still, and when themotor 101 continues to rotate, thereducer output flange 104 and thetransition flange 201 in the sterile divider generate relative movement, and when the convex hull is aligned with the notch, thereducer output flange 104 moves towards the sterile divider under the action of thespring 124, and the convex hull is inserted into the notch, so that theoutput flange 104 and thetransition flange 201 are combined.
During separation, the separation of the flanges is completed by removing the instrument and the sterile divider, respectively.
Therefore, the transition flange of the sterile separator does not need to be aligned, the sterile separator and the instrument are only required to be installed, the system can automatically close the flange, and when the instrument and the sterile separator are taken down, the flange is automatically separated and disconnected without more actions. And the transition flange can freely rotate and move along the axis in the middle of the upper partition plate and the lower partition plate, and the moving stroke is equivalent to that of theoutput flange 104. During operation, 4 transition flanges are only contacted with the flanges connected up and down and synchronously rotate, are not contacted with other parts, and do not generate friction force, so that the force feedback is more sensitive.
Due to the arrangement of the upper buckle and the lower buckle, when the sterile separator needs to be taken down, the lower buckle is pinched by a hand, and the sterile separator is taken down conveniently.
After working for a period of time, the steel wire may be loosened, but due to the saw-toothed structures on the long-rod steel wire driving wheel and the claw steel wire driving wheel, the steel wire can be tensioned by relatively rotating the upper part and the lower part of the steel wire driving wheel, when tensioning is finished, the saw teeth are buckled, the upper part and the lower part of the steel wire driving wheel are prevented from rotating towards the loosening direction of the steel wire, and the steel wire is not loosened any more after being compressed by a nut or a screw at the shaft end.
