The first gear assembly 4221, the second gear assembly 4222, and the third gear assembly 4223 are disposed on the shaft 4224, and are rotatable about the shaft 4224. The first gear assembly 4221 comprises a first gear portion 42211, a first engagement portion 42242, and a second engagement portion 42213. The first gear portion 42211 is meshed with the drive gear 4212 of the drive assembly 4210 to receive a power input from the drive assembly 4210. The second gear assembly 4222 includes a second gear portion 42221 and a third gear portion 42222, and the third gear assembly 4223 includes a third gear portion 42231 and a fourth gear portion 42232. The engagement portion may be a gear engagement portion or a spline engagement portion.
The first engagement portion 42242 of the first gear assembly 4221 can be engaged with the third engagement portion 42222 of the second gear assembly 4222 so that the first gear assembly 4221 and the second gear assembly 4222 can be rotated synchronously, and the second engagement portion 42213 of the first gear assembly 4221 can be engaged with the fourth engagement portion 42232 of the third gear assembly 4223 so that the first gear assembly 4221 and the third gear assembly 4223 can be rotated synchronously. Toggling the shift fork 4225 may shift the first gear assembly 4221 in at least two positions, and when the shift fork 4225 pushes the first gear assembly 4221 to the first position, the first engagement portion 42242 of the first gear assembly 4221 and the third engagement portion 42222 of the second gear assembly 4222 are engaged with each other, so that the first gear assembly 4221 and the second gear assembly 4222 can rotate synchronously.

Based on the above-described structure, the switching assembly 4220 enables the power input obtained from the driving assembly 4210 to be output to other assemblies through the second gear assembly 4222 and the third gear assembly 4223 in a switchable manner. The three gear assemblies, a first gear assembly 4221, a second gear assembly 4222 and a third gear assembly 4223, are coaxially aligned. Although one specific gear portion diameter relationship of the gear assembly is shown in fig. 1, this is not a limitation on the relationship of gear diameters, and the relationship of gear diameters may be appropriately adjusted according to the gear ratio.
A first power take-off assembly 4230 comprising a first power gear 4231, a first rotary drive lever 4232 and a first transmission member 4233, said first power gear 4231 being capable of meshing with said second gear assembly 4222 of said switching assembly 4220. The first rotation driving rod 4232 cooperates with the first transmission member 4233 such that the first rotation driving rod 4232 can drive the first transmission member 4233 to move substantially linearly. The first transmission member 4233 may be coupled to the anvil drive member 4124 to effect transmission of power. The anvil driver 4124 controls the closing and opening of the anvil assembly 4110 and the anvil storage assembly 4120 by driving the anvil assembly 4110.

Since the second gear portion 42221 of the second gear assembly 4222 is in engagement with the first power gear 4231 of the first power output assembly 4230, power from the drive assembly 4210 is transferred to the first power output assembly 4230. Wherein the first rotary drive lever 4232 is rotatable. The first rotary drive rod 4232 may be a threaded screw or rod, at least partially threaded. The first transmission member 4233 mates with the threads of the lead screw or threaded rod. The first driving member 4233 may have a pin thereon, which moves along the thread of the screw or the threaded rod to generate linear motion of the first driving member 4233. As shown in fig. 12, the screw thread of the shift screw includes a first region and a second region, the first region being closer to the first power gear 4231 than the second region. The pitch of the first region is greater than the pitch of the second region.

The second drive member 4243 may be coupled to the staple pusher assembly via a staple pusher drive bar 4244 to effect transmission of power to complete firing of the cutting blade 4125 and staples.
When the switching fork 4225 pushes the first gear assembly 4221 to the second position, the first gear assembly 4221 is engaged with the third gear assembly 4223, the third gear portion 42231 of the third gear assembly 4223 is engaged with the second power gear 4241 of the second power output assembly 4240, and thus the power from the driving assembly 4210 is transmitted to the second power output assembly 4240. Power is transferred from the second power take-off assembly 4240 to the staple pusher assembly that cuts the staples 4100. Wherein the second rotary drive lever 4242 is rotatable. The second rotary drive rod 4242 may be a threaded screw or rod, at least partially threaded. The second transmission member 4243 mates with the threads of the lead screw or threaded rod.

As shown, the switching assembly 4220 in this fourth embodiment has the same structure as the switching assembly 1220 in the first embodiment.
During the operation, the digestive tract tissue (intestine or stomach) to be connected is placed in the cavity inside the nail storage assembly of the tubular electric stapler. The switching fork keeps the switching assembly in a state meshed with the first power output assembly, and at the moment, the switching fork plays a role in safety, and the cutting suture part is prevented from being wrongly triggered in the operation process because the switching fork is not meshed with the second power output assembly. The firing button assembly is pressed to provide a closing signal for the control circuit, so that the driving assembly outputs power, the nail anvil assembly moves towards the direction close to the nail storage assembly, and the alimentary canal tissue to be resected is clamped. Then, the switching fork is shifted to move the switching assembly to a position engaged with the second power output assembly. The firing button assembly is pressed to provide a firing signal for the control circuit, so that the driving assembly outputs power, the power is transmitted to the second power output assembly, the cutting knife arranged on the nail pushing assembly is driven to complete cutting, and meanwhile, the wound surface is sutured by the anastomat. After the control circuit is kept for a specific time, the motor of the driving assembly is reversely moved to provide reverse driving force, and the cutting knife and the nail pushing assembly are retracted. The switching fork is shifted to move the switching assembly to a position engaged with the first power output assembly. Pressing the reset button provides a reset signal to the control circuit, so that the driving assembly provides a reverse driving force, the nail anvil assembly moves away from the nail storage assembly, the cutting suture part opens, and the clamped tissue is released. The stapler is withdrawn.
The tubular anastomat and the anorectal anastomat are required to drive the nail anvil assembly to close the nail anvil nail bin firstly to clamp tissues, and then drive the nail pushing assembly and the cutting knife to cut tissues. The moving processes of the nail anvil and the nail pushing assembly are mutually independent, and the driving of the nail anvil and the nail pushing assembly is realized through two relatively independent driving or transmission structures. Since the switching assembly 4220 of the fourth embodiment has the same structure as the switching assembly 1220 of the first embodiment, the switching structure 2220,3220 of the second and third embodiments of the present invention can be used for a motorized tubular stapler as well.
The invention provides a single-motor electric surgical instrument which can realize tissue cutting and anastomotic nail firing in a motor driving mode. The single-motor electric surgical instrument can realize the closing, firing and resetting of the anastomat through a single motor. The single-motor electric surgical instrument provided by the invention can stably fire the anastomat. Achieving smooth cutting and effective suturing of tissue. Reduce postoperative bleeding and accelerate recovery of patients. The invention adopts the single motor and the switching structure to realize the output of double driving forces, reduces the complexity of the structure of the electric surgical instrument and saves the cost. Meanwhile, through setting the initial driving state, a safety structure for preventing false firing is formed.
