Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to a medical instrument, in particular to a flexible surgical tool system based on a dual continuum mechanism.

BACKGROUND

Multi-port laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery plays an important role in surgical operations due to small wound and fast postoperative recovery. The conventional da Vinci surgical robot of Intuitive Surgical Inc. assists surgeons in completing the multi-port laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery, and gets great commercial success.

After the multi-port laparoscopic surgery, single-port laparoscopic surgery and non-invasive surgery through natural orifice are developed. They have smaller wound and faster postoperative recovery. But in single-port laparoscopic surgery and non-invasive surgery through the natural orifice, all surgical instruments including visual illumination module and surgical operating arm reach a surgical site through a single channel, which has strict requirements on preparation of surgical instruments. Distal structures of the present surgical instruments are mainly multiple rods hinged in serial and driven by pulling force of steal wires, so that distal instruments can bend at the hinges. Because the steel wire rope needs to be kept in a continuous tensioning state through pulleys, due to this driving manner, further miniaturization of the surgical instrument is difficult to achieve and movement performance of the surgical instrument is difficult to further improve.

Although the Intuitive Surgical Inc. recently launched da Vinci Single-site (SS-type da Vinci) surgical robot, the original rigid surgical instrument is changed into a semi-rigid surgical instrument, and a pre-bending sleeve is introduced, which, to a certain extent, improves the movement performance of the surgical instruments, but still cannot fundamentally solve the problems faced by the traditional surgical instruments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to make objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure clear, preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to accompanying drawings. It is appreciated that embodiments shown in accompanying drawings are not limitations to the scope of the present disclosure but intended to explain the spirit of embodiments of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present embodiment provides a flexible surgical tool system including a mechanical arm 10. The mechanical arm 10 includes a first continuum segment 12, a rigid connection segment 13, and a second continuum segment 14. The first continuum segment 12, the rigid connection segment 13, and the second continuum segment 14 are sequentially associated to form a dual continuum mechanism. The flexible surgical tool system includes a surgical effector 50 connected at distal end of the second continuum segment 14 and a transmission driving unit 20. The transmission driving unit 20 is associated with the rigid connection segment 13 and the surgical effector 50, respectively, and operable to drive the first continuum segment 12 to bend in any direction to further drive the second continuum segment 14 to bend in an opposite direction, and to drive the surgical effector 50 to rotate in a first plane and/or open and close in a second plane.

In the above embodiment, preferably, as shown in FIG. 3, the transmission driving unit 20 includes a plurality of linear motion mechanisms 22 operable to convert a rotational motion input to a linear motion output. The linear motion mechanism 22 includes: a double-threaded rod 221 that is rotatable and has two threaded sections thereon with threads in opposite directions; a first sliding block 224 and a second sliding block 225 respectively rotatably connected with two threaded sections of the double-threaded rod 221. When the double-threaded rod 221 rotates, the first sliding block 224 and the second sliding block 225 perform opposite linear motions along the double-threaded rod 221 at the same speed.

In the above embodiment, preferably, as shown in FIG. 2, the first continuum segment 12 includes a first continuum fixing disk 122 and direction-controlling continuum structural bones 123. The rigid connection segment 13 includes a rigid connection fixing disk 132, and the second continuum segment 14 includes a second continuum fixing disk 142 and dual continuum structural bones 143. Direction-controlling continuum structural bones 123 include a plurality of pairs. Distal ends of each pair of direction-controlling continuum structural bones 123 are connected with a rigid connection fixing disk 132, and proximal ends of each pair of direction-controlling continuum structural bones 123 pass through the first continuum fixing disk 122 and then are respectively connected with the first sliding block 224 and the second sliding block 225. There are a plurality of dual continuum structural bones 143. A distal end of each of the dual continuum structural bones 143 is connected with a second continuum fixing disk 142, and a proximal end is connected with the first continuum fixing disk 122 after passing through the rigid connection fixing disk 132. Thus, first sliding block 224 and second sliding block 225 which are in opposite linear motions can push and pull a pair of direction-controlling continuum structural bones 123 connected thereto, driving the first continuum segment 12 to bend in a certain direction, further driving the second continuum segment 14 to bend in opposite direction in a proportional relationship. Because a length of the dual continuum structural bone 143 remains unchanged during driving, a total length of the dual continuum mechanism including the first continuum segment 12, the rigid connection segment 13 and the second continuum segment 14 maintains unchanged. Thus, the coupling movement of the second continuum segment 14 is also uniquely determined.

In addition, the proportional relationship above is based on distribution radii of the dual continuum structural bones 143 in the first continuum segment 12 and the second continuum segment 14. In a preferred embodiment, the distribution radii of the first continuum segment 12 and the second continuum segment 14 are equal, so that the first continuum segment 12 and the second continuum segment 14 bend in an equivalently opposite manner, thereby ensuring that the first continuum fixing disk 122 and the second continuum fixing disk 142 are always parallel to each other during driving.
