Abstract
A motorized surgical instrument is disclosed. The surgical instrument includes a displacement member, a motor coupled to displacement member, a control circuit coupled to the motor, a parameter sensor coupled to the control circuit and a position sensor coupled to the control circuit. The control circuit is configured to receive a parameter output of the parameter sensor indicative of a force applied to translate the displacement member, determine a duration during which the parameter output is maintained at or above a predetermined fault threshold, receive a position output of the position sensor indicative of at least one position of the displacement member during the duration, and effect a motor control action based on the duration and the at least one position.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to surgical instruments and, in various circumstances, to surgical stapling and cutting instruments and staple cartridges therefor that are designed to staple and cut tissue.


BACKGROUND

In a motorized surgical stapling and cutting instrument it may be useful to control the velocity of a cutting member or to control the articulation velocity of an end effector. Velocity of a displacement member may be determined by measuring elapsed time at predetermined position intervals of the displacement member or measuring the position of the displacement member at predetermined time intervals. The control may be open loop or closed loop. Such measurements may be useful to evaluate tissue conditions such as tissue thickness and adjust the velocity of the cutting member during a firing stroke to account for the tissue conditions. Tissue thickness may be determined by comparing expected velocity of the cutting member to the actual velocity of the cutting member. In some situations, it may be useful to articulate the end effector at a constant articulation velocity. In other situations, it may be useful to drive the end effector at a different articulation velocity than a default articulation velocity at one or more regions within a sweep range of the end effector.


During use of a motorized surgical stapling and cutting instrument it is possible that maximum current could be triggered by an instantaneous exceeding of a current limit during a predefined zone of a firing stroke of the cutting member or a closure stroke of an anvil. Nevertheless, outside of the predefined zone the current limit may be exceeded over a predefined period to minimize the likelihood that noise within a measurement inadvertently triggers the that maximum current event. Therefore, it may be desirable to set a predefined time period for a triggering event to cause a motor control program to change based on the location of the cutting member or anvil within a firing stroke or a closure stroke.

In one aspect, a surgical instrument is provided. The surgical instrument comprising: a displacement member; a motor coupled to displacement member, the motor operable to translate the displacement member; a control circuit coupled to the motor; a parameter sensor coupled to the control circuit; and a position sensor coupled to the control circuit, wherein the control circuit is configured to: receive a parameter output of the parameter sensor indicative of a force applied to translate the displacement member; determine a duration during which the parameter output is maintained at or above a predetermined fault threshold; receive a position output of the position sensor indicative of at least one position of the displacement member during the duration; and effect a motor control action based on the duration and the at least one position.


In another aspect, the surgical instrument comprises a displacement member; a motor coupled to the displacement member; a current sensor coupled to the motor, the current sensor configured to measure current drawn by the motor while translating the displacement member; a position sensor; and a control circuit coupled to the motor, the current sensor, and the position sensor, wherein the control circuit is configured to: determine a duration during which the current drawn by the motor is maintained at or above a predetermined fault threshold; receive a position output of the position sensor indicative of at least one position of the displacement member during the duration; and effect a motor control action based on the duration and the at least one position.

The housing 12 may be employed with a variety of interchangeable shaft assemblies, including assemblies configured to apply other motions and forms of energy such as, radio frequency (RF) energy, ultrasonic energy, and/or motion to end effector arrangements adapted for use in connection with various surgical applications and procedures. The end effectors, shaft assemblies, handles, surgical instruments, and/or surgical instrument systems can utilize any suitable fastener, or fasteners, to fasten tissue. For instance, a fastener cartridge comprising a plurality of fasteners removably stored therein can be removably inserted into and/or attached to the end effector of a shaft assembly.


The handle assembly 14 may comprise a pair of interconnectable handle housing segments 16, 18 interconnected by screws, snap features, adhesive, etc. The handle housing segments 16, 18 cooperate to form a pistol grip portion 19 that can be gripped and manipulated by the clinician. The handle assembly 14 operably supports a plurality of drive systems configured to generate and apply control motions to corresponding portions of the interchangeable shaft assembly that is operably attached thereto. A display may be provided below a cover 45.



FIG. 2 is an exploded assembly view of a portion of the surgical instrument 10 of FIG. 1 according to one aspect of this disclosure. The handle assembly 14 may include a frame 20 that operably supports a plurality of drive systems. The frame 20 can operably support a “first” or closure drive system 30, which can apply closing and opening motions to the interchangeable shaft assembly 200. The closure drive system 30 may include an actuator such as a closure trigger 32 pivotally supported by the frame 20. The closure trigger 32 is pivotally coupled to the handle assembly 14 by a pivot pin 33 to enable the closure trigger 32 to be manipulated by a clinician. When the clinician grips the pistol grip portion 19 of the handle assembly 14, the closure trigger 32 can pivot from a starting or “unactuated” position to an “actuated” position and more particularly to a fully compressed or fully actuated position.


The handle assembly 14 and the frame 20 may operably support a firing drive system 80 configured to apply firing motions to corresponding portions of the interchangeable shaft assembly attached thereto. The firing drive system 80 may employ an electric motor 82 located in the pistol grip portion 19 of the handle assembly 14. The electric motor 82 may be a DC brushed motor having a maximum rotational speed of approximately 25,000 RPM, for example. In other arrangements, the motor may include a brushless motor, a cordless motor, a synchronous motor, a stepper motor, or any other suitable electric motor. The electric motor 82 may be powered by a power source 90 that may comprise a removable power pack 92. The removable power pack 92 may comprise a proximal housing portion 94 configured to attach to a distal housing portion 96. The proximal housing portion 94 and the distal housing portion 96 are configured to operably support a plurality of batteries 98 therein. Batteries 98 may each comprise, for example, a Lithium Ion (LI) or other suitable battery. The distal housing portion 96 is configured for removable operable attachment to a control circuit board 100, which is operably coupled to the electric motor 82. Several batteries 98 connected in series may power the surgical instrument 10. The power source 90 may be replaceable and/or rechargeable. A display 43, which is located below the cover 45, is electrically coupled to the control circuit board 100. The cover 45 may be removed to expose the display 43.


The electric motor 82 can include a rotatable shaft (not shown) that operably interfaces with a gear reducer assembly 84 mounted in meshing engagement with a with a set, or rack, of drive teeth 122 on a longitudinally movable drive member 120. The longitudinally movable drive member 120 has a rack of drive teeth 122 formed thereon for meshing engagement with a corresponding drive gear 86 of the gear reducer assembly 84.


In use, a voltage polarity provided by the power source 90 can operate the electric motor 82 in a clockwise direction wherein the voltage polarity applied to the electric motor by the battery can be reversed in order to operate the electric motor 82 in a counter-clockwise direction. When the electric motor 82 is rotated in one direction, the longitudinally movable drive member 120 will be axially driven in the distal direction “DD.” When the electric motor 82 is driven in the opposite rotary direction, the longitudinally movable drive member 120 will be axially driven in a proximal direction “PD.” The handle assembly 14 can include a switch that can be configured to reverse the polarity applied to the electric motor 82 by the power source 90. The handle assembly 14 may include a sensor configured to detect the position of the longitudinally movable drive member 120 and/or the direction in which the longitudinally movable drive member 120 is being moved.


Actuation of the electric motor 82 can be controlled by a firing trigger 130 that is pivotally supported on the handle assembly 14. The firing trigger 130 may be pivoted between an unactuated position and an actuated position.


Turning back to FIG. 1, the interchangeable shaft assembly 200 includes an end effector 300 comprising an elongated channel 302 configured to operably support a surgical staple cartridge 304 therein. The end effector 300 may include an anvil 306 that is pivotally supported relative to the elongated channel 302. The interchangeable shaft assembly 200 may include an articulation joint 270. Construction and operation of the end effector 300 and the articulation joint 270 are set forth in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2014/0263541, entitled ARTICULATABLE SURGICAL INSTRUMENT COMPRISING AN ARTICULATION LOCK, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. The interchangeable shaft assembly 200 may include a proximal housing or nozzle 201 comprised of nozzle portions 202, 203. The interchangeable shaft assembly 200 may include a closure tube 260 extending along a shaft axis SA that can be utilized to close and/or open the anvil 306 of the end effector 300.


Turning back to FIG. 1, the closure tube 260 is translated distally (direction “DD”) to close the anvil 306, for example, in response to the actuation of the closure trigger 32 in the manner described in the aforementioned reference U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2014/0263541. The anvil 306 is opened by proximally translating the closure tube 260. In the anvil-open position, the closure tube 260 is moved to its proximal position.



FIG. 3 is another exploded assembly view of portions of the interchangeable shaft assembly 200 according to one aspect of this disclosure. The interchangeable shaft assembly 200 may include a firing member 220 supported for axial travel within the spine 210. The firing member 220 includes an intermediate firing shaft 222 configured to attach to a distal cutting portion or knife bar 280. The firing member 220 may be referred to as a “second shaft” or a “second shaft assembly”. The intermediate firing shaft 222 may include a longitudinal slot 223 in a distal end configured to receive a tab 284 on the proximal end 282 of the knife bar 280. The longitudinal slot 223 and the proximal end 282 may be configured to permit relative movement there between and can comprise a slip joint 286. The slip joint 286 can permit the intermediate firing shaft 222 of the firing member 220 to articulate the end effector 300 about the articulation joint 270 without moving, or at least substantially moving, the knife bar 280. Once the end effector 300 has been suitably oriented, the intermediate firing shaft 222 can be advanced distally until a proximal sidewall of the longitudinal slot 223 contacts the tab 284 to advance the knife bar 280 and fire the staple cartridge positioned within the channel 302. The spine 210 has an elongated opening or window 213 therein to facilitate assembly and insertion of the intermediate firing shaft 222 into the spine 210. Once the intermediate firing shaft 222 has been inserted therein, a top frame segment 215 may be engaged with the shaft frame 212 to enclose the intermediate firing shaft 222 and knife bar 280 therein. Operation of the firing member 220 may be found in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2014/0263541. A spine 210 can be configured to slidably support a firing member 220 and the closure tube 260 that extends around the spine 210. The spine 210 may slidably support an articulation driver 230.


The interchangeable shaft assembly 200 can include a clutch assembly 400 configured to selectively and releasably couple the articulation driver 230 to the firing member 220. The clutch assembly 400 includes a lock collar, or lock sleeve 402, positioned around the firing member 220 wherein the lock sleeve 402 can be rotated between an engaged position in which the lock sleeve 402 couples the articulation driver 230 to the firing member 220 and a disengaged position in which the articulation driver 230 is not operably coupled to the firing member 220. When the lock sleeve 402 is in the engaged position, distal movement of the firing member 220 can move the articulation driver 230 distally and, correspondingly, proximal movement of the firing member 220 can move the articulation driver 230 proximally. When the lock sleeve 402 is in the disengaged position, movement of the firing member 220 is not transmitted to the articulation driver 230 and, as a result, the firing member 220 can move independently of the articulation driver 230. The nozzle 201 may be employed to operably engage and disengage the articulation drive system with the firing drive system in the various manners described in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2014/0263541.


The interchangeable shaft assembly 200 can comprise a slip ring assembly 600 which can be configured to conduct electrical power to and/or from the end effector 300 and/or communicate signals to and/or from the end effector 300, for example. The slip ring assembly 600 can comprise a proximal connector flange 604 and a distal connector flange 601 positioned within a slot defined in the nozzle portions 202, 203. The proximal connector flange 604 can comprise a first face and the distal connector flange 601 can comprise a second face positioned adjacent to and movable relative to the first face. The distal connector flange 601 can rotate relative to the proximal connector flange 604 about the shaft axis SA-SA (FIG. 1). The proximal connector flange 604 can comprise a plurality of concentric, or at least substantially concentric, conductors 602 defined in the first face thereof. A connector 607 can be mounted on the proximal side of the distal connector flange 601 and may have a plurality of contacts wherein each contact corresponds to and is in electrical contact with one of the conductors 602. Such an arrangement permits relative rotation between the proximal connector flange 604 and the distal connector flange 601 while maintaining electrical contact there between. The proximal connector flange 604 can include an electrical connector 606 that can place the conductors 602 in signal communication with a shaft circuit board, for example. In at least one instance, a wiring harness comprising a plurality of conductors can extend between the electrical connector 606 and the shaft circuit board. The electrical connector 606 may extend proximally through a connector opening defined in the chassis mounting flange. U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2014/0263551, entitled STAPLE CARTRIDGE TISSUE THICKNESS SENSOR SYSTEM, is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2014/0263552, entitled STAPLE CARTRIDGE TISSUE THICKNESS SENSOR SYSTEM, is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Further details regarding slip ring assembly 600 may be found in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2014/0263541.


The interchangeable shaft assembly 200 can include a proximal portion fixably mounted to the handle assembly 14 and a distal portion that is rotatable about a longitudinal axis. The rotatable distal shaft portion can be rotated relative to the proximal portion about the slip ring assembly 600. The distal connector flange 601 of the slip ring assembly 600 can be positioned within the rotatable distal shaft portion.



FIG. 4 is an exploded view of one aspect of an end effector 300 of the surgical instrument 10 of FIG. 1 according to one aspect of this disclosure. The end effector 300 may include the anvil 306 and the surgical staple cartridge 304. The anvil 306 may be coupled to an elongated channel 302. Apertures 199 can be defined in the elongated channel 302 to receive pins 152 extending from the anvil 306 to allow the anvil 306 to pivot from an open position to a closed position relative to the elongated channel 302 and surgical staple cartridge 304. A firing bar 172 is configured to longitudinally translate into the end effector 300. The firing bar 172 may be constructed from one solid section, or may include a laminate material comprising a stack of steel plates. The firing bar 172 comprises an I-beam 178 and a cutting edge 182 at a distal end thereof. A distally projecting end of the firing bar 172 can be attached to the I-beam 178 to assist in spacing the anvil 306 from a surgical staple cartridge 304 positioned in the elongated channel 302 when the anvil 306 is in a closed position. The I-beam 178 may include a sharpened cutting edge 182 to sever tissue as the I-beam 178 is advanced distally by the firing bar 172. In operation, the I-beam 178 may, or fire, the surgical staple cartridge 304. The surgical staple cartridge 304 can include a molded cartridge body 194 that holds a plurality of staples 191 resting upon staple drivers 192 within respective upwardly open staple cavities 195. A wedge sled 190 is driven distally by the I-beam 178, sliding upon a cartridge tray 196 of the surgical staple cartridge 304. The wedge sled 190 upwardly cams the staple drivers 192 to force out the staples 191 into deforming contact with the anvil 306 while the cutting edge 182 of the I-beam 178 severs clamped tissue.


The I-beam 178 can include upper pins 180 that engage the anvil 306 during firing. The I-beam 178 may include middle pins 184 and a bottom foot 186 to engage portions of the cartridge body 194, cartridge tray 196, and elongated channel 302. When a surgical staple cartridge 304 is positioned within the elongated channel 302, a slot 193 defined in the cartridge body 194 can be aligned with a longitudinal slot 197 defined in the cartridge tray 196 and a slot 189 defined in the elongated channel 302. In use, the I-beam 178 can slide through the aligned longitudinal slots 193, 197, and 189 wherein, as indicated in FIG. 4, the bottom foot 186 of the I-beam 178 can engage a groove running along the bottom surface of elongated channel 302 along the length of slot 189, the middle pins 184 can engage the top surfaces of cartridge tray 196 along the length of longitudinal slot 197, and the upper pins 180 can engage the anvil 306.

FIG. 10 is a diagram of an absolute positioning system 1100 of the surgical instrument 10 (FIGS. 1-4) where the absolute positioning system 1100 comprises a controlled motor drive circuit arrangement comprising a sensor arrangement 1102 according to one aspect of this disclosure. The sensor arrangement 1102 for an absolute positioning system 1100 provides a unique position signal corresponding to the location of a displacement member 1111. Turning briefly to FIGS. 2-4, in one aspect the displacement member 1111 represents the longitudinally movable drive member 120 (FIG. 2) comprising a rack of drive teeth 122 for meshing engagement with a corresponding drive gear 86 of the gear reducer assembly 84. In other aspects, the displacement member 1111 represents the firing member 220 (FIG. 3), which could be adapted and configured to include a rack of drive teeth. In yet another aspect, the displacement member 1111 represents the firing bar 172 (FIG. 4) or the I-beam 178 (FIG. 4), each of which can be adapted and configured to include a rack of drive teeth. Accordingly, as used herein, the term displacement member is used generically to refer to any movable member of the surgical instrument 10 such as the drive member 120, the firing member 220, the firing bar 172, the I-beam 178, or any element that can be displaced. In one aspect, the longitudinally movable drive member 120 is coupled to the firing member 220, the firing bar 172, and the I-beam 178. Accordingly, the absolute positioning system 1100 can, in effect, track the linear displacement of the I-beam 178 by tracking the linear displacement of the longitudinally movable drive member 120. In various other aspects, the displacement member 1111 may be coupled to any sensor suitable for measuring linear displacement. Thus, the longitudinally movable drive member 120, the firing member 220, the firing bar 172, or the I-beam 178, or combinations, may be coupled to any suitable linear displacement sensor. Linear displacement sensors may include contact or non-contact displacement sensors.

An electric motor 1120 can include a rotatable shaft 1116 that operably interfaces with a gear assembly 1114 that is mounted in meshing engagement with a set, or rack, of drive teeth on the displacement member 1111. A sensor element 1126 may be operably coupled to a gear assembly 1114 such that a single revolution of the sensor element 1126 corresponds to some linear longitudinal translation of the displacement member 1111. An arrangement of gearing and sensors 1118 can be connected to the linear actuator via a rack and pinion arrangement or a rotary actuator via a spur gear or other connection. A power source 1129 supplies power to the absolute positioning system 1100 and an output indicator 1128 may display the output of the absolute positioning system 1100. In FIG. 2, the displacement member 1111 represents the longitudinally movable drive member 120 comprising a rack of drive teeth 122 formed thereon for meshing engagement with a corresponding drive gear 86 of the gear reducer assembly 84. The displacement member 1111 represents the longitudinally movable firing member 220, firing bar 172, I-beam 178, or combinations thereof.


A single revolution of the sensor element 1126 associated with the position sensor 1112 is equivalent to a longitudinal linear displacement d1 of the of the displacement member 1111, where d1 is the longitudinal linear distance that the displacement member 1111 moves from point “a” to point “b” after a single revolution of the sensor element 1126 coupled to the displacement member 1111. The sensor arrangement 1102 may be connected via a gear reduction that results in the position sensor 1112 completing one or more revolutions for the full stroke of the displacement member 1111. The position sensor 1112 may complete multiple revolutions for the full stroke of the displacement member 1111.


A series of switches 1122a-1122n, where n is an integer greater than one, may be employed alone or in combination with gear reduction to provide a unique position signal for more than one revolution of the position sensor 1112. The state of the switches 1122a-1122n are fed back to a controller 1104 that applies logic to determine a unique position signal corresponding to the longitudinal linear displacement d1+d2+ . . . dn of the displacement member 1111. The output 1124 of the position sensor 1112 is provided to the controller 1104. The position sensor 1112 of the sensor arrangement 1102 may comprise a magnetic sensor, an analog rotary sensor like a potentiometer, an array of analog Hall-effect elements, which output a unique combination of position signals or values.


The absolute positioning system 1100 provides an absolute position of the displacement member 1111 upon power up of the instrument without retracting or advancing the displacement member 1111 to a reset (zero or home) position as may be required with conventional rotary encoders that merely count the number of steps forwards or backwards that the motor 1120 has taken to infer the position of a device actuator, drive bar, knife, and the like.


The controller 1104 may be programmed to perform various functions such as precise control over the speed and position of the knife and articulation systems. In one aspect, the controller 1104 includes a processor 1108 and a memory 1106. The electric motor 1120 may be a brushed DC motor with a gearbox and mechanical links to an articulation or knife system. In one aspect, a motor driver 1110 may be an A3941 available from Allegro Microsystems, Inc. Other motor drivers may be readily substituted for use in the absolute positioning system 1100. A more detailed description of the absolute positioning system 1100 is described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/130,590, entitled SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING A SURGICAL STAPLING AND CUTTING INSTRUMENT, filed on Apr. 15, 2016, the entire disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference.


The controller 1104 may be programmed to provide precise control over the speed and position of the displacement member 1111 and articulation systems. The controller 1104 may be configured to compute a response in the software of the controller 1104. The computed response is compared to a measured response of the actual system to obtain an “observed” response, which is used for actual feedback decisions. The observed response is a favorable, tuned, value that balances the smooth, continuous nature of the simulated response with the measured response, which can detect outside influences on the system.


The absolute positioning system 1100 may comprise and/or be programmed to implement a feedback controller, such as a PID, state feedback, and adaptive controller. A power source 1129 converts the signal from the feedback controller into a physical input to the system, in this case voltage. Other examples include pulse width modulation (PWM) of the voltage, current, and force. Other sensor(s) 1118 may be provided to measure physical parameters of the physical system in addition to position measured by the position sensor 1112. In a digital signal processing system, absolute positioning system 1100 is coupled to a digital data acquisition system where the output of the absolute positioning system 1100 will have finite resolution and sampling frequency. The absolute positioning system 1100 may comprise a compare and combine circuit to combine a computed response with a measured response using algorithms such as weighted average and theoretical control loop that drives the computed response towards the measured response. The computed response of the physical system takes into account properties like mass, inertial, viscous friction, inductance resistance, etc., to predict what the states and outputs of the physical system will be by knowing the input. The controller 1104 may be a control circuit 700 (FIGS. 5A-5B).


The motor driver 1110 may be an A3941 available from Allegro Microsystems, Inc. The A3941 driver 1110 is a full-bridge controller for use with external N-channel power metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) specifically designed for inductive loads, such as brush DC motors. The driver 1110 comprises a unique charge pump regulator provides full (>10 V) gate drive for battery voltages down to 7 V and allows the A3941 to operate with a reduced gate drive, down to 5.5 V. A bootstrap capacitor may be employed to provide the above-battery supply voltage required for N-channel MOSFETs. An internal charge pump for the high-side drive allows DC (100% duty cycle) operation. The full bridge can be driven in fast or slow decay modes using diode or synchronous rectification. In the slow decay mode, current recirculation can be through the high-side or the lowside FETs. The power FETs are protected from shoot-through by resistor adjustable dead time. Integrated diagnostics provide indication of undervoltage, overtemperature, and power bridge faults, and can be configured to protect the power MOSFETs under most short circuit conditions. Other motor drivers may be readily substituted for use in the absolute positioning system 1100.

With reference briefly to FIG. 2, the displacement member 1111 may represent the longitudinally movable drive member 120 comprising a rack of drive teeth 122 for meshing engagement with a corresponding drive gear 86 of the gear reducer assembly 84. Returning to FIG. 11, a structural element such as bracket 1216 is provided to support the gear assembly 1206, the magnet holder 1204, and the magnet 1202. The position sensor 1200 comprises magnetic sensing elements such as Hall elements and is placed in proximity to the magnet 1202. As the magnet 1202 rotates, the magnetic sensing elements of the position sensor 1200 determine the absolute angular position of the magnet 1202 over one revolution.


The sensor arrangement 1102 may comprises any number of magnetic sensing elements, such as, for example, magnetic sensors classified according to whether they measure the total magnetic field or the vector components of the magnetic field. The techniques used to produce both types of magnetic sensors encompass many aspects of physics and electronics. The technologies used for magnetic field sensing include search coil, fluxgate, optically pumped, nuclear precession, SQUID, Hall-effect, anisotropic magnetoresistance, giant magnetoresistance, magnetic tunnel junctions, giant magnetoimpedance, magnetostrictive/piezoelectric composites, magnetodiode, magnetotransistor, fiber optic, magnetooptic, and microelectromechanical systems-based magnetic sensors, among others.


A gear assembly comprises a first gear 1208 and a second gear 1210 in meshing engagement to provide a 3:1 gear ratio connection. A third gear 1212 rotates about a shaft 1214. The third gear 1212 is in meshing engagement with the displacement member 1111 (or 120 as shown in FIG. 2) and rotates in a first direction as the displacement member 1111 advances in a distal direction D and rotates in a second direction as the displacement member 1111 retracts in a proximal direction P. The second gear 1210 also rotates about the shaft 1214 and, therefore, rotation of the second gear 1210 about the shaft 1214 corresponds to the longitudinal translation of the displacement member 1111. Thus, one full stroke of the displacement member 1111 in either the distal or proximal directions D, P corresponds to three rotations of the second gear 1210 and a single rotation of the first gear 1208. Since the magnet holder 1204 is coupled to the first gear 1208, the magnet holder 1204 makes one full rotation with each full stroke of the displacement member 1111.


The position sensor 1200 is supported by a position sensor holder 1218 defining an aperture 1220 suitable to contain the position sensor 1200 in precise alignment with a magnet 1202 rotating below within the magnet holder 1204. The fixture is coupled to the bracket 1216 and to the circuit 1205 and remains stationary while the magnet 1202 rotates with the magnet holder 1204. A hub 1222 is provided to mate with the first gear 1208 and the magnet holder 1204. The second gear 1210 and third gear 1212 coupled to shaft 1214 also are shown.



FIG. 12 is a diagram of a position sensor 1200 for an absolute positioning system 1100 comprising a magnetic rotary absolute positioning system according to one aspect of this disclosure. The position sensor 1200 may be implemented as an AS5055EQFT single-chip magnetic rotary position sensor available from Austria Microsystems, AG. The position sensor 1200 is interfaced with the controller 1104 to provide an absolute positioning system 1100. The position sensor 1200 is a low-voltage and low-power component and includes four Hall-effect elements 1228A, 1228B, 1228C, 1228D in an area 1230 of the position sensor 1200 that is located above the magnet 1202 (FIGS. 15 and 16). A high-resolution ADC 1232 and a smart power management controller 1238 are also provided on the chip. A CORDIC processor 1236 (for Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer), also known as the digit-by-digit method and Volder's algorithm, is provided to implement a simple and efficient algorithm to calculate hyperbolic and trigonometric functions that require only addition, subtraction, bitshift, and table lookup operations. The angle position, alarm bits, and magnetic field information are transmitted over a standard serial communication interface such as an SPI interface 1234 to the controller 1104. The position sensor 1200 provides 12 or 14 bits of resolution. The position sensor 1200 may be an AS5055 chip provided in a small QFN 16-pin 4×4×0.85 mm package.


The Hall-effect elements 1228A, 1228B, 1228C, 1228D are located directly above the rotating magnet 1202 (FIG. 11). The Hall-effect is a well-known effect and for expediency will not be described in detail herein, however, generally, the Hall-effect produces a voltage difference (the Hall voltage) across an electrical conductor transverse to an electric current in the conductor and a magnetic field perpendicular to the current. A Hall coefficient is defined as the ratio of the induced electric field to the product of the current density and the applied magnetic field. It is a characteristic of the material from which the conductor is made, since its value depends on the type, number, and properties of the charge carriers that constitute the current. In the AS5055 position sensor 1200, the Hall-effect elements 1228A, 1228B, 1228C, 1228D are capable producing a voltage signal that is indicative of the absolute position of the magnet 1202 in terms of the angle over a single revolution of the magnet 1202. This value of the angle, which is unique position signal, is calculated by the CORDIC processor 1236 is stored onboard the AS5055 position sensor 1200 in a register or memory. The value of the angle that is indicative of the position of the magnet 1202 over one revolution is provided to the controller 1104 in a variety of techniques, e.g., upon power up or upon request by the controller 1104.


The AS5055 position sensor 1200 requires only a few external components to operate when connected to the controller 1104. Six wires are needed for a simple application using a single power supply: two wires for power and four wires 1240 for the SPI interface 1234 with the controller 1104. A seventh connection can be added in order to send an interrupt to the controller 1104 to inform that a new valid angle can be read. Upon power-up, the AS5055 position sensor 1200 performs a full power-up sequence including one angle measurement. The completion of this cycle is indicated as an INT output 1242, and the angle value is stored in an internal register. Once this output is set, the AS5055 position sensor 1200 suspends to sleep mode. The controller 1104 can respond to the INT request at the INT output 1242 by reading the angle value from the AS5055 position sensor 1200 over the SPI interface 1234. Once the angle value is read by the controller 1104, the INT output 1242 is cleared again. Sending a “read angle” command by the SPI interface 1234 by the controller 1104 to the position sensor 1200 also automatically powers up the chip and starts another angle measurement. As soon as the controller 1104 has completed reading of the angle value, the INT output 1242 is cleared and a new result is stored in the angle register. The completion of the angle measurement is again indicated by setting the INT output 1242 and a corresponding flag in the status register.


Due to the measurement principle of the AS5055 position sensor 1200, only a single angle measurement is performed in very short time (˜600 μs) after each power-up sequence. As soon as the measurement of one angle is completed, the AS5055 position sensor 1200 suspends to power-down state. An on-chip filtering of the angle value by digital averaging is not implemented, as this would require more than one angle measurement and, consequently, a longer power-up time that is not desired in low-power applications. The angle jitter can be reduced by averaging of several angle samples in the controller 1104. For example, an averaging of four samples reduces the jitter by 6 dB (50%).



FIG. 13 is a section view of an end effector 2502 of the surgical instrument 10 (FIGS. 1-4) showing an I-beam 2514 firing stroke relative to tissue 2526 grasped within the end effector 2502 according to one aspect of this disclosure. The end effector 2502 is configured to operate with the surgical instrument 10 shown in FIGS. 1-4. The end effector 2502 comprises an anvil 2516 and an elongated channel 2503 with a staple cartridge 2518 positioned in the elongated channel 2503. A firing bar 2520 is translatable distally and proximally along a longitudinal axis 2515 of the end effector 2502. When the end effector 2502 is not articulated, the end effector 2502 is in line with the shaft of the instrument. An I-beam 2514 comprising a cutting edge 2509 is illustrated at a distal portion of the firing bar 2520. A wedge sled 2513 is positioned in the staple cartridge 2518. As the I-beam 2514 translates distally, the cutting edge 2509 contacts and may cut tissue 2526 positioned between the anvil 2516 and the staple cartridge 2518. Also, the I-beam 2514 contacts the wedge sled 2513 and pushes it distally, causing the wedge sled 2513 to contact staple drivers 2511. The staple drivers 2511 may be driven up into staples 2505, causing the staples 2505 to advance through tissue and into pockets 2507 defined in the anvil 2516, which shape the staples 2505.


An example I-beam 2514 firing stroke is illustrated by a chart 2529 aligned with the end effector 2502. Example tissue 2526 is also shown aligned with the end effector 2502. The firing member stroke may comprise a stroke begin position 2527 and a stroke end position 2528. During an I-beam 2514 firing stroke, the I-beam 2514 may be advanced distally from the stroke begin position 2527 to the stroke end position 2528. The I-beam 2514 is shown at one example location of a stroke begin position 2527. The I-beam 2514 firing member stroke chart 2529 illustrates five firing member stroke regions 2517, 2519, 2521, 2523, 2525. In a first firing stroke region 2517, the I-beam 2514 may begin to advance distally. In the first firing stroke region 2517, the I-beam 2514 may contact the wedge sled 2513 and begin to move it distally. While in the first region, however, the cutting edge 2509 may not contact tissue and the wedge sled 2513 may not contact a staple driver 2511. After static friction is overcome, the force to drive the I-beam 2514 in the first region 2517 may be substantially constant.


In the second firing member stroke region 2519, the cutting edge 2509 may begin to contact and cut tissue 2526. Also, the wedge sled 2513 may begin to contact staple drivers 2511 to drive staples 2505. Force to drive the I-beam 2514 may begin to ramp up. As shown, tissue encountered initially may be compressed and/or thinner because of the way that the anvil 2516 pivots relative to the staple cartridge 2518. In the third firing member stroke region 2521, the cutting edge 2509 may continuously contact and cut tissue 2526 and the wedge sled 2513 may repeatedly contact staple drivers 2511. Force to drive the I-beam 2514 may plateau in the third region 2521. By the fourth firing stroke region 2523, force to drive the I-beam 2514 may begin to decline. For example, tissue in the portion of the end effector 2502 corresponding to the fourth firing region 2523 may be less compressed than tissue closer to the pivot point of the anvil 2516, requiring less force to cut. Also, the cutting edge 2509 and wedge sled 2513 may reach the end of the tissue 2526 while in the fourth region 2523. When the I-beam 2514 reaches the fifth region 2525, the tissue 2526 may be completely severed. The wedge sled 2513 may contact one or more staple drivers 2511 at or near the end of the tissue. Force to advance the I-beam 2514 through the fifth region 2525 may be reduced and, in some examples, may be similar to the force to drive the I-beam 2514 in the first region 2517. At the conclusion of the firing member stroke, the I-beam 2514 may reach the stroke end position 2528. The positioning of firing member stroke regions 2517, 2519, 2521, 2523, 2525 in FIG. 18 is just one example. In some examples, different regions may begin at different positions along the end effector longitudinal axis 2515, for example, based on the positioning of tissue between the anvil 2516 and the staple cartridge 2518.


As discussed above and with reference now to FIGS. 10-13, the electric motor 1122 positioned within the handle assembly of the surgical instrument 10 (FIGS. 1-4) can be utilized to advance and/or retract the firing system of the shaft assembly, including the I-beam 2514, relative to the end effector 2502 of the shaft assembly in order to staple and/or incise tissue captured within the end effector 2502. The I-beam 2514 may be advanced or retracted at a desired speed, or within a range of desired speeds. The controller 1104 may be configured to control the speed of the I-beam 2514. The controller 1104 may be configured to predict the speed of the I-beam 2514 based on various parameters of the power supplied to the electric motor 1122, such as voltage and/or current, for example, and/or other operating parameters of the electric motor 1122 or external influences. The controller 1104 may be configured to predict the current speed of the I-beam 2514 based on the previous values of the current and/or voltage supplied to the electric motor 1122, and/or previous states of the system like velocity, acceleration, and/or position. The controller 1104 may be configured to sense the speed of the I-beam 2514 utilizing the absolute positioning sensor system described herein. The controller can be configured to compare the predicted speed of the I-beam 2514 and the sensed speed of the I-beam 2514 to determine whether the power to the electric motor 1122 should be increased in order to increase the speed of the I-beam 2514 and/or decreased in order to decrease the speed of the I-beam 2514. U.S. Pat. No. 8,210,411, entitled MOTOR-DRIVEN SURGICAL CUTTING INSTRUMENT, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. U.S. Pat. No. 7,845,537, entitled SURGICAL INSTRUMENT HAVING RECORDING CAPABILITIES, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.


Force acting on the I-beam 2514 may be determined using various techniques. The I-beam 2514 force may be determined by measuring the motor 2504 current, where the motor 2504 current is based on the load experienced by the I-beam 2514 as it advances distally. The I-beam 2514 force may be determined by positioning a strain gauge on the drive member 120 (FIG. 2), the firing member 220 (FIG. 2), I-beam 2514 (I-beam 178, FIG. 20), the firing bar 172 (FIG. 2), and/or on a proximal end of the cutting edge 2509. The I-beam 2514 force may be determined by monitoring the actual position of the I-beam 2514 moving at an expected velocity based on the current set velocity of the motor 2504 after a predetermined elapsed period T1 and comparing the actual position of the I-beam 2514 relative to the expected position of the I-beam 2514 based on the current set velocity of the motor 2504 at the end of the period T1. Thus, if the actual position of the I-beam 2514 is less than the expected position of the I-beam 2514, the force on the I-beam 2514 is greater than a nominal force. Conversely, if the actual position of the I-beam 2514 is greater than the expected position of the I-beam 2514, the force on the I-beam 2514 is less than the nominal force. The difference between the actual and expected positions of the I-beam 2514 is proportional to the deviation of the force on the I-beam 2514 from the nominal force. Such techniques are described in U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 15/628,075, titled SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING MOTOR VELOCITY OF A SURGICAL STAPLING AND CUTTING INSTRUMENT, now U.S. Patent No. 10,624,633, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.



FIG. 14 illustrates a block diagram of a surgical instrument 2500 programmed to control distal translation of a displacement member according to one aspect of this disclosure. In one aspect, the surgical instrument 2500 is programmed to control distal translation of a displacement member 1111 such as the I-beam 2514. The surgical instrument 2500 comprises an end effector 2502 that may comprise an anvil 2516, an I-beam 2514 (including a sharp cutting edge 2509), and a removable staple cartridge 2518. The end effector 2502, anvil 2516, I-beam 2514, and staple cartridge 2518 may be configured as described herein, for example, with respect to FIGS. 1-13.


The position, movement, displacement, and/or translation of a liner displacement member 1111, such as the I-beam 2514, can be measured by the absolute positioning system 1100, sensor arrangement 1102, and position sensor 1200 as shown in FIGS. 10-12 and represented as position sensor 2534 in FIG. 14. Because the I-beam 2514 is coupled to the longitudinally movable drive member 120, the position of the I-beam 2514 can be determined by measuring the position of the longitudinally movable drive member 120 employing the position sensor 2534. Accordingly, in the following description, the position, displacement, and/or translation of the I-beam 2514 can be achieved by the position sensor 2534 as described herein. A control circuit 2510, such as the control circuit 700 described in FIGS. 5A and 5B, may be programmed to control the translation of the displacement member 1111, such as the I-beam 2514, as described in connection with 10-12. The control circuit 2510, in some examples, may comprise one or more microcontrollers, microprocessors, or other suitable processors for executing instructions that cause the processor or processors to control the displacement member, e.g., the I-beam 2514, in the manner described. In one aspect, a timer/counter circuit 2531 provides an output signal, such as elapsed time or a digital count, to the control circuit 2510 to correlate the position of the I-beam 2514 as determined by the position sensor 2534 with the output of the timer/counter circuit 2531 such that the control circuit 2510 can determine the position of the I-beam 2514 at a specific time (t) relative to a starting position. The timer/counter circuit 2531 may be configured to measure elapsed time, count external evens, or time external events.


The control circuit 2510 may generate a motor set point signal 2522. The motor set point signal 2522 may be provided to a motor controller 2508. The motor controller 2508 may comprise one or more circuits configured to provide a motor drive signal 2524 to the motor 2504 to drive the motor 2504 as described herein. In some examples, the motor 2504 may be a brushed DC electric motor, such as the motor 82, 714, 1120 shown in FIGS. 1, 5B, 10. For example, the velocity of the motor 2504 may be proportional to the motor drive signal 2524. In some examples, the motor 2504 may be a brushless direct current (DC) electric motor and the motor drive signal 2524 may comprise a pulse-width-modulated (PWM) signal provided to one or more stator windings of the motor 2504. Also, in some examples, the motor controller 2508 may be omitted and the control circuit 2510 may generate the motor drive signal 2524 directly.


The motor 2504 may receive power from an energy source 2512. The energy source 2512 may be or include a battery, a super capacitor, or any other suitable energy source 2512. The motor 2504 may be mechanically coupled to the I-beam 2514 via a transmission 2506. The transmission 2506 may include one or more gears or other linkage components to couple the motor 2504 to the I-beam 2514. A position sensor 2534 may sense a position of the I-beam 2514. The position sensor 2534 may be or include any type of sensor that is capable of generating position data that indicates a position of the I-beam 2514. In some examples, the position sensor 2534 may include an encoder configured to provide a series of pulses to the control circuit 2510 as the I-beam 2514 translates distally and proximally. The control circuit 2510 may track the pulses to determine the position of the I-beam 2514. Other suitable position sensor may be used, including, for example, a proximity sensor. Other types of position sensors may provide other signals indicating motion of the I-beam 2514. Also, in some examples, the position sensor 2534 may be omitted. Where the motor 2504 is a stepper motor, the control circuit 2510 may track the position of the I-beam 2514 by aggregating the number and direction of steps that the motor 2504 has been instructed to execute. The position sensor 2534 may be located in the end effector 2502 or at any other portion of the instrument.


The control circuit 2510 may be in communication with one or more sensors 2538. The sensors 2538 may be positioned on the end effector 2502 and adapted to operate with the surgical instrument 2500 to measure the various derived parameters such as gap distance versus time, tissue compression versus time, and anvil strain versus time. The sensors 2538 may comprise a magnetic sensor, a magnetic field sensor, a strain gauge, a pressure sensor, a force sensor, an inductive sensor such as an eddy current sensor, a resistive sensor, a capacitive sensor, an optical sensor, and/or any other suitable sensor for measuring one or more parameters of the end effector 2502. The sensors 2538 may include one or more sensors.


The one or more sensors 2538 may comprise a strain gauge, such as a micro-strain gauge, configured to measure the magnitude of the strain in the anvil 2516 during a clamped condition. The strain gauge provides an electrical signal whose amplitude varies with the magnitude of the strain. The sensors 2538 may comprise a pressure sensor configured to detect a pressure generated by the presence of compressed tissue between the anvil 2516 and the staple cartridge 2518. The sensors 2538 may be configured to detect impedance of a tissue section located between the anvil 2516 and the staple cartridge 2518 that is indicative of the thickness and/or fullness of tissue located therebetween.


The sensors 2538 may be is configured to measure forces exerted on the anvil 2516 by the closure drive system 30. For example, one or more sensors 2538 can be at an interaction point between the closure tube 260 (FIG. 3) and the anvil 2516 to detect the closure forces applied by the closure tube 260 to the anvil 2516. The forces exerted on the anvil 2516 can be representative of the tissue compression experienced by the tissue section captured between the anvil 2516 and the staple cartridge 2518. The one or more sensors 2538 can be positioned at various interaction points along the closure drive system 30 (FIG. 2) to detect the closure forces applied to the anvil 2516 by the closure drive system 30. The one or more sensors 2538 may be sampled in real time during a clamping operation by a processor as described in FIGS. 5A-5B. The control circuit 2510 receives real-time sample measurements to provide analyze time based information and assess, in real time, closure forces applied to the anvil 2516.


A current sensor 2536 can be employed to measure the current drawn by the motor 2504. The force required to advance the I-beam 2514 corresponds to the current drawn by the motor 2504. The force is converted to a digital signal and provided to the control circuit 2510.


Using the physical properties of the instruments disclosed herein in connection with FIGS. 1-14, and with reference to FIG. 14, the control circuit 2510 can be configured to simulate the response of the actual system of the instrument in the software of the controller. A displacement member can be actuated to move an I-beam 2514 in the end effector 2502 at or near a target velocity. The surgical instrument 2500 can include a feedback controller, which can be one of any feedback controllers, including, but not limited to a PID, a State Feedback, LQR, and/or an Adaptive controller, for example. The surgical instrument 2500 can include a power source to convert the signal from the feedback controller into a physical input such as case voltage, pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage, frequency modulated voltage, current, torque, and/or force, for example.


The actual drive system of the surgical instrument 2500 is configured to drive the displacement member, cutting member, or I-beam 2514, by a brushed DC motor with gearbox and mechanical links to an articulation and/or knife system. Another example is the electric motor 2504 that operates the displacement member and the articulation driver, for example, of an interchangeable shaft assembly. An outside influence is an unmeasured, unpredictable influence of things like tissue, surrounding bodies and friction on the physical system. Such outside influence can be referred to as drag which acts in opposition to the electric motor 2504. The outside influence, such as drag, may cause the operation of the physical system to deviate from a desired operation of the physical system.


Before explaining aspects of the surgical instrument 2500 in detail, it should be noted that the example aspects are not limited in application or use to the details of construction and arrangement of parts illustrated in the accompanying drawings and description. The example aspects may be implemented or incorporated in other aspects, variations and modifications, and may be practiced or carried out in various ways. Further, unless otherwise indicated, the terms and expressions employed herein have been chosen for the purpose of describing the example aspects for the convenience of the reader and are not for the purpose of limitation thereof. Also, it will be appreciated that one or more of the following-described aspects, expressions of aspects and/or examples, can be combined with any one or more of the other following-described aspects, expressions of aspects and/or examples.


Various example aspects are directed to a surgical instrument 2500 comprising an end effector 2502 with motor-driven surgical stapling and cutting implements. For example, a motor 2504 may drive a displacement member distally and proximally along a longitudinal axis of the end effector 2502. The end effector 2502 may comprise a pivotable anvil 2516 and, when configured for use, a staple cartridge 2518 positioned opposite the anvil 2516. A clinician may grasp tissue between the anvil 2516 and the staple cartridge 2518, as described herein. When ready to use the instrument 2500, the clinician may provide a firing signal, for example by depressing a trigger of the instrument 2500. In response to the firing signal, the motor 2504 may drive the displacement member distally along the longitudinal axis of the end effector 2502 from a proximal stroke begin position to a stroke end position distal of the stroke begin position. As the displacement member translates distally, an I-beam 2514 with a cutting element positioned at a distal end, may cut the tissue between the staple cartridge 2518 and the anvil 2516.


In various examples, the surgical instrument 2500 may comprise a control circuit 2510 programmed to control the distal translation of the displacement member, such as the I-beam 2514, for example, based on one or more tissue conditions. The control circuit 2510 may be programmed to sense tissue conditions, such as thickness, either directly or indirectly, as described herein. The control circuit 2510 may be programmed to select a firing control program based on tissue conditions. A firing control program may describe the distal motion of the displacement member. Different firing control programs may be selected to better treat different tissue conditions. For example, when thicker tissue is present, the control circuit 2510 may be programmed to translate the displacement member at a lower velocity and/or with lower power. When thinner tissue is present, the control circuit 2510 may be programmed to translate the displacement member at a higher velocity and/or with higher power.


In some examples, the control circuit 2510 may initially operate the motor 2504 in an open-loop configuration for a first open-loop portion of a stroke of the displacement member. Based on a response of the instrument 2500 during the open-loop portion of the stroke, the control circuit 2510 may select a firing control program. The response of the instrument may include, a translation distance of the displacement member during the open-loop portion, a time elapsed during the open-loop portion, energy provided to the motor 2504 during the open-loop portion, a sum of pulse widths of a motor drive signal, etc. After the open-loop portion, the control circuit 2510 may implement the selected firing control program for a second portion of the displacement member stroke. For example, during the closed loop portion of the stroke, the control circuit 2510 may modulate the motor 2504 based on translation data describing a position of the displacement member in a closed-loop manner to translate the displacement member at a constant velocity.



FIG. 15 illustrates a diagram 2580 plotting two example displacement member strokes executed according to one aspect of this disclosure. The diagram 2580 comprises two axes. A horizontal axis 2584 indicates elapsed time. A vertical axis 2582 indicates the position of the I-beam 2514 between a stroke begin position 2586 and a stroke end position 2588. On the horizontal axis 2584, the control circuit 2510 may receive the firing signal and begin providing the initial motor setting at t0. The open-loop portion of the displacement member stroke is an initial time period that may elapse between t0 and t1.


A first example 2592 shows a response of the surgical instrument 2500 when thick tissue is positioned between the anvil 2516 and the staple cartridge 2518. During the open-loop portion of the displacement member stroke, e.g., the initial time period between t0 and t1, the I-beam 2514 may traverse from the stroke begin position 2586 to position 2594. The control circuit 2510 may determine that position 2594 corresponds to a firing control program that advances the I-beam 2514 at a selected constant velocity (Vslow), indicated by the slope of the example 2592 after t1 (e.g., in the closed loop portion). The control circuit 2510 may drive I-beam 2514 to the velocity Vslow by monitoring the position of I-beam 2514 and modulating the motor set point 2522 and/or motor drive signal 2524 to maintain Vslow. A second example 2590 shows a response of the surgical instrument 2500 when thin tissue is positioned between the anvil 2516 and the staple cartridge 2518.


During the initial time period (e.g., the open-loop period) between t0 and t1, the I-beam 2514 may traverse from the stroke begin position 2586 to position 2596. The control circuit may determine that position 2596 corresponds to a firing control program that advances the displacement member at a selected constant velocity (Vfast). Because the tissue in example 2590 is thinner than the tissue in example 2592, it may provide less resistance to the motion of the I-beam 2514. As a result, the I-beam 2514 may traverse a larger portion of the stroke during the initial time period. Also, in some examples, thinner tissue (e.g., a larger portion of the displacement member stroke traversed during the initial time period) may correspond to higher displacement member velocities after the initial time period.


As described above in connection with FIG. 13-15, a control circuit 2510 may be programmed to control the translation of the I-beam 2514. As the I-beam 2514 translates distally, the knife 2509 contacts and may cut tissue between the anvil 2516 and the staple cartridge 2518. Also, the I-beam 2514 contacts the wedge sled 2513 and pushes it distally, causing the wedge sled 2513 to contact staple drivers 2511. The staple drivers 2511 may be driven up into staples 2505, causing the staples 2505 to advance through tissue and into pockets 2507 defined in the anvil 2516, which shape the staples 2505. The I-beam stroke may comprise a stroke begin position 2527 and a stroke end position 2528. During an I-beam firing stroke, the I-beam 2514 may be advanced distally from the stroke begin position 2527 to the stroke end position 2528.


The control circuit 2510 may generate a motor set point signal 2522. The motor set point signal 2522 may be provided to a motor controller 2508. The motor controller 2508 may comprise one or more circuits configured to provide a motor drive signal 2524 to a motor 2504 to drive the motor 2504. The motor 2504 may receive power from an energy source 2512. The motor 2504 may be mechanically coupled to the I-beam 2514 via a transmission 2506. The transmission 2506 may include one or more gears or other linkage components to couple the motor 2504 to the I-beam 2514.


Force acting on the I-beam 2514, the force to fire (FTF), may be determined using various techniques. In one aspect, the I-beam 2514 force may be determined by measuring the motor 2504 current, where the motor 2504 current is based on the load experienced by the I-beam 2514 as it advances distally. As illustrated in FIG. 14, a current sensor 2536 can be included to measure energy provided to the motor 2504. The current sensor 2536 may be positioned between the energy source 2512 and the motor 2504 to measure energy provided by the energy source 2512 to the motor 2504. The Current sensor 2536 may monitor current drawn by the motor 2504 and may provide data describing the current drawn by the motor 2504 to the control circuit 2510. Any suitable current sensor may be used such as, for example, a coulomb sensor. Alternatively, in some examples, the control circuit 2510 may determine the current drawn by the motor 2504 indirectly.


In another aspect, the I-beam 2514 force may be determined by positioning a strain gauge on the drive member 120 (FIG. 2), the firing member 220 (FIG. 2), I-beam 2514 (FIGS. 13 and 14), the firing bar 172 (FIG. 2), and/or on a proximal end of the cutting edge 2509. In yet another aspect, the I-beam 2514 force may be determined by monitoring the actual position of the I-beam 2514 moving at an expected velocity based on the current set velocity of the motor 2504 after a predetermined elapsed period T1 and comparing the actual position of the I-beam 2514 relative to the expected position of the I-beam 2514 based on the current set velocity of the motor 2504 at the end of the period T1, as described in detail in commonly owned U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 15,628,075, titled SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING MOTOR VELOCITY OF A SURGICAL STAPLING AND CUTTING INSTRUMENT, now U.S. Patent No. 10,624,633, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.


Referring to FIG. 16, a diagram 3500 plots an example 3503 of the force applied to fire (FTF) the surgical instrument 2500, the force to fire (FTF) represented by current (I) drawn by the motor 2504. The force to fire (FTF) can be applied to advance the I-beam 2514 during a firing stroke of the surgical instrument 2500. In the diagram 3500, current (I) drawn by the motor 2504 is plotted as a function of the distance traveled by the I-beam 2514 during a firing stroke. The diagram 3500 comprises two axes. A vertical axis 3502 indicates the current (I) in milliamps, which corresponds to the force to fire (FTF). A horizontal axis 3504 represents I-beam stroke displacement (d) in millimeters.


In some examples, the control circuit 2510 employs a current sensor 2536 to sample the current (I) drawn by the motor 2504 at predetermined intervals along the distance traveled by the I-beam 2514 during the firing stroke. In at least one example, the current (I) is sampled in 1 mm intervals. In other examples, the current (I) drawn by the motor 2504 can be sampled in suitable time intervals during a firing stroke. The control circuit 2510 may develop a digital current signal based on the sampled current (I) data. In various aspects, the sampled current (I) defines data points, wherein each data point constitutes a current (I) value greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold at a predetermined interval.


Spikes in the current (I) signal can be treated as triggering events for various control actions of the surgical instrument 2500. In some examples, current (I) spikes may indicate malfunctions during a firing stroke that require one or more motor control actions. For example, certain current (I) spikes may be triggering events for motor control actions that include dynamic braking and/or retracting of the I-beam 2514. Furthermore, current (I) spikes occurring in particular portions or zones of the firing stroke may trigger a lockout of the surgical instrument 2500, for example. That said, noise in the current (I) signal may trigger unnecessary control actions during a firing stroke. Accordingly, discerning between signal noise and event-triggering current spikes improves the operation of the surgical instrument 2500.



FIG. 17 is a logic flow diagram of a process 3600 depicting a control program or logic configuration representing a firing control program according to one aspect of this disclosure. The process 3600 may be executed by the surgical instrument 2500 (e.g., the control circuit 2510) to implement an I-beam stroke responsive to tissue conditions and/or staple cartridge type. The control circuit 2510 may receive 3601 a firing signal. The firing signal may be received from the trigger 32 (FIG. 1) or other suitable actuation device. For example, a clinician may place the end effector 2502, clamp tissue between the anvil 2516 and staple cartridge 2518 and then actuate the trigger 32 to begin a I-beam stroke. The trigger 32 may be configured to provide the firing signal to the control circuit 2510 upon actuation.


The control circuit 2510, in response to the firing signal, may provide a motor setting. For example, the motor setting may be a motor set point 2522 provided to the motor controller 2508. The motor controller 2508 may translate the motor set point 2522 into a PWM signal, voltage signal, or other suitable motor drive signal to drive 3602 the motor 2504 to translate the displacement member such as , for example, the I-beam 2414. In some examples, (e.g., when the control circuit 2510 directly generates the motor drive signal 2524), the motor setting may be a motor drive signal 2524 provided directly to the motor 2504. The motor setting may correspond to a particular motor velocity, power, or other suitable variable. In some examples where the motor 2504 is a brushed DC motor, the initial motor setting may be a signal having a constant voltage. In some examples where the motor is a brushless DC motor, the initial motor setting may be a signal or set of signals having a constant phase, duty cycle, etc.


In the example where the displacement member is the I-beam 2514, the control circuit 2510 may receive 3604 I-beam movement data. I-beam movement data may comprise information (e.g., from the position sensor 2534) that describes the position and/or movement of the I-beam 2514. Although receiving I-beam movement data is displayed as a distinct box in the process 3600, the control circuit 2510 may receive I-beam movement data while the I-beam 2514 is in motion. For example, when the position sensor 2534 is an encoder, the control circuit 2510 may receive pulse signals from the encoder while the I-beam 2514 is moving with each pulse signal representing a quantum of motion. Also, in examples where the motor 2504 is a stepper motor, the control circuit 2510 may derive I-beam movement data based on the total number of steps that the control circuit 2510 instructs the motor 2504 to execute.


I-beam movement data may indicate a distance that the I-beam 2514 moved during the initial time period, which may reflect the tissue conditions such as the thickness and/or toughness of the tissue present between the anvil 2516 and the staple cartridge 2518 because different types of tissue will offer different levels of resistance. For example, thicker or tougher tissue may provide more mechanical resistance to the knife and staples. More mechanical resistance may cause the motor 2504 to run more slowly while the initial motor setting is held substantially constant. Similarly, thinner or weaker tissue may provide less mechanical resistance to the knife and staples. This may cause the motor to run faster and traverse more distance while the initial motor setting is held substantially constant.


In some examples, the distance traveled by the I-beam 2514 during a firing stroke is divided into a plurality of zones. In the example 3503 of the diagram 3500, the distance is divided into six zones. In other examples, the distance can be divided into more or less than six zones. In the example 3503 the zones are equal, or at least substantially equal, in length. In other examples, the zones may comprise different lengths.


The control circuit 2510 may also receive 3604 force to fire (FTF) data. Although receiving force to fire (FTF) data is depicted as a distinct function of the process 3600, the control circuit 2510 may receive 3604 the force to fire (FTF) data while the I-beam 2514 is in motion. For example, as described above, the force to fire (FTF) data can be in the form of current (I) drawn by the motor, sampled at predetermined intervals.


The control circuit 2510 determines 3605 whether the force to fire (FTF) is greater than or equal to a fault threshold. As described above, the current (I) drawn by the motor 2504 may represent the force to fire (FTF) applied to the I-beam 2514 during a firing stroke. Through the sampled current (I) values provided by the current sensor 2536, the control circuit 2510 detects current (I) spikes that are greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold 3510 (FIG. 16), which correspond to force to fire (FTF) values above the fault threshold. In the example 3503, one threshold is assigned to all the zones. In some examples, different zones may be assigned the same or different thresholds. If the force to fire (FTF) is greater than or equal to the threshold, the process 3600 continues along the YES branch and the control circuit 2510 determines 3606 whether the position of the I-beam 2514 corresponding to the current (I) spike is in a predetermined zone or zones. If the force to fire (FTF) is less than the threshold, the process 3600 continues along the NO branch and the control circuit 2510 determines 3609 if the I-beam 2514 is at the end of stroke.


The control circuit 2510 may include a memory storing the value or values of the predetermined thresholds. If the control circuit 2510 determines that a current (I) spike is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold, the control circuit 2510 further determines 3606 whether the position of the I-beam 2514 corresponding to the current (I) spike is in a predetermined zone or zones. If the control circuit 2510 determines 3606 that a current (I) spike greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold is detected in a predetermined zone or zones, the control circuit 2510 proceeds along the YES branch and effects 3607 a motor control action. If, however, no current (I) spikes greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold 3510 are detected in the predetermined zone or zones, or a current (I) spike greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold 3510 are detected outside the predetermined zone or zones, the control circuit 2510 determines 3609 whether the I-beam 2514 has reached the end of stroke. If the I-beam 2514 is at the end of the firing stroke, the process 3600 proceeds along the YES branch and ends 3611. If the I-beam 2514 is not at the end of the firing stroke, the process 3600 proceeds along the NO branch and continues to drive 3602 the motor to translate the I-beam 2514. The process 3600 continues until the I-beam 2514 reaches the end of stroke.


The control circuit 2510 may determine whether a present position of the I-beam 2514 is in a predetermined zone or zones based on the movement data delivered by the position sensor 2534 (FIG. 14). The control circuit 2510 may include a memory storing positions of the I-beam 2514 and corresponding zones. The control circuit 2510 may compare a current position of the I-beam 2514 against the data stored in the memory. In some examples, current (I) spikes may be treated differently in different zones. As illustrated in FIG. 16, a current (I) spike 3506 in an initial portion of the firing stroke such as, for example, zone 1 may be a triggering event for the control circuit 2510 to effect 3607 a motor control action. Example motor control actions include dynamic braking and/or retracting of the I-beam 2514. In one example, a suitable motor control action may involve slowing the motor 2504 to a predetermined velocity until the current (I) drawn by the motor 2504 drops below the predetermined threshold.


In some examples, the control circuit 2510 can be configured to perform other suitable control actions of the surgical instrument 2500 in response to a current (I) spike occurring in a predetermined zone such as, for example, zone 1. Other suitable control actions of the surgical instrument 2500 may include alerting a user as to the status of the surgical instrument 2500.


Referring to FIG. 18, in various examples, the duration during which the force to fire (FTF) is maintained at a value greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold 3510 can aid in discerning between signal noise and event-triggering spikes improves the operation of the surgical instrument 2500. FIG. 18 illustrates an alternative logic flow diagram of another example of a process 3700 depicting a control program that may be executed by the surgical instrument 2500 (e.g., the control circuit 2510) or a logic configuration to implement an I-beam stroke responsive to tissue conditions and/or staple cartridge type. The process 3700 is similar in many respects to the process 3600 (FIG. 17). Like the process 3600, in accordance with the process 3700, the control circuit 2510 receives 3701 a firing signal, drives 3702 the motor 2504 to translate the displacement member such as, for example, the I-beam 2514, receives 3704 I-beam movement and force to fire (FTF) data, determines 3705 whether the force to fire (FTF) at a present position of the I-beam 2514 is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold 3510, and determines 3706 whether the present position of the I-beam 2514 is within a predetermined zone or zones. If the force to fire (FTF) at a present position of the I-beam 2514 is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold 3510, the process 3700 proceeds along the YES branch and the control circuit 2510 determines 3708 if the time duration (t) is greater than or equal to (t1). Otherwise, if the force to fire (FTF) is less than the threshold, the process 3700 continues along the NO branch and the control circuit 2510 determines 3709 if the I-beam 2514 is at the end of stroke.


The process 3700, however, differs from the process flow 3600 in that the process flow 3700 further considers the duration during which a spike of current (I) drawn by the motor 2504, as a representative of the force to fire (FTF), is maintained at a value greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold 3510 in determining whether the current (I) spike constitutes a triggering event. Outside of the predetermine zone or zones the current (I) trigger must be greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold 3510 by a predefined number of milliseconds in order to minimize the likelihood that noise within the measurement inadvertently become a triggering event.


If the control circuit 2510 determines 3708 that such time duration (t) is greater than or equal to a predetermined time period (t1), the process 3700 proceeds along the YES branch and the control circuit 2510 effects 3707 a motor control action, as discussed above in connection with 3607. Otherwise, the process 3700 proceeds along the NO branch and the control circuit determines 3709 if the I-beam 2514 is at the end of stroke. If the I-beam 2514 is at the end of stroke the process continues along the YES branch and the process 3700 ends 3711. Otherwise, the process 3700 proceeds along the NO branch and drives 3702 the motor 2504 to translate the displacement member such as, for example, the I-beam 2514. The process continues until the I-beam 2514 reaches the end of the firing stroke. In other words, a current (I) spike is only considered an event triggering spike if it maintained at a value greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold 3510 for a time duration (t) that is greater than or equal to the predetermined time period (t1). Spikes 3507 and 3508 of the example 3503 of the diagram 3500 (FIG. 16) represent example current (I) spikes that exceed the predetermined threshold 3510 but are outside a predetermined zone or zones and are only maintained above the predetermined threshold 3510 for time periods that are less than the predetermined time period (t1). Accordingly, under the process flow 3700 the current (I) spikes 3507 and 3508 are not event triggering spikes.


In comparison, an alternative current (I) spike 3509 constitutes an event triggering spike in accordance with the process flow 3700 even though the current (I) spike 3509 is outside the predetermined zone or zones because the current (I) spike 3509 is maintained above the predetermined threshold 3510 for a time duration (t) that is greater than the predetermined time period (t1). In some examples, the predetermined time period (t1) can be selected from a range of about 1 millisecond to about 1 second. In some examples, the predetermined time period (t1) can be selected from a range of about 1 millisecond to about 500 milliseconds. In some examples, the predetermined time period (t1) can be selected from a range of about 1 millisecond to about 100 milliseconds. Other suitable values for the predetermined time period (t1) can be utilized.


In some examples, the control circuit 2510 determines the time duration (t) by maintaining a running counter or timer 2531 (FIG. 16) upon detection of a current (I) value greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold 3510. The control circuit 2510 maintains the running counter or timer 2531 as long as subsequent current (I) values are also greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold 3510. The control circuit 2510 may stop or reset the timer 2531 when a subsequent current (I) value is less than the predetermined threshold 3510 indicating an end of the time duration (t). In some examples, the control circuit 2510 comprises a processor which may perform the function of the timer 2531.


Referring to FIG. 19, in various examples, current (I) spikes in different zones along the distance traveled by the I-beam 2514 constitute triggering events for different motor control actions. FIG. 19 illustrates an alternative logic flow diagram of a process 3800 depicting a control program that may be executed by the surgical instrument 2500 (e.g., the control circuit 2510) or a logic configuration to implement an I-beam stroke responsive to tissue conditions and/or staple cartridge type. The process 3800 is similar in many respects to the process 3600 (FIG. 17). Like the process 3600, in accordance with the process 3800 the control circuit 2510 receives 3801 a firing signal, drives 3802 the motor 2504 to translate the displacement member such as, for example, the I-beam 2514, receives 3804 I-beam movement and force to fire (FTF) data, determines 3805 whether the force to fire (FTF) at a present position of the I-beam 2514 is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold 3510, and determines whether the present position of the I-beam 2514 is within a predetermined zone. If the force to fire (FTF) at a present position of the I-beam 2514 is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold 3510, the process 3800 proceeds along the YES branch and the control circuit 2510 determines 3820 if the time duration (t) is greater than or equal to (t1). Otherwise, if the force to fire (FTF) at a present position of the I-beam 2514 is less than a predetermined threshold 3510, the process 3800 proceeds along the NO branch and the control circuit 2510 determines 3809 if the I-beam 2514 is at the end of stroke. If the I-beam 2514 is the end of stroke, the process 3800 continues along the YES branch and ends 3811. Otherwise, the process 3800 continues along the NO branch and the control circuit 2510 receives 3804 the I-beam movement and force to fire (FTF) data. The process 3800 continues until the displacement member such as, for example, the I-beam 2514 reaches the end of stroke.


The process 3800, however, differs from the process 3600 in that the process 3800 further considers the time duration (t) during which a spike of current (I) drawn by the motor 2504, as a representative of the force to fire (FTF), is maintained at a value greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold 3510 in determining whether the current (I) spike constitutes a triggering event. The process 3800 further selects between different motor control actions.


Accordingly, the control circuit 2510 determines 3820 whether the time duration (t) during which the current (I) spike is maintained at a value greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold 3510 is greater than or equal to a first time period (t1). The process 3800 proceeds along the YES branch and further selects 3807 a first motor control action in response to a current (I) spike if the time duration (t) during which the current (I) spike is maintained at a value greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold 3510 is greater than or equal to a first time period (t1). If, however, the time duration (t) is less is less than the first time period (t1), the control circuit 2510 proceeds along the NO branch and further determines 3821 if the time duration (t) is greater than or equal than a second time period (t2). The second time period (t2) is less than the first time period (t1). If the time duration (t) is less than the first duration (t1) and the second duration (t2), the I-beam 2514 proceeds along the NO branch and the control circuit 2510 determines 3809 if the I-beam 2514 is a the end stroke 3811 and is allowed to continue to the end of the stroke 3811 unless it is determined 3822 that the position of the I-beam 2514 where the current (I) spike occurred is in either an initial zone such as, for example, zone 1 or a final zone such as, for example, zone 6. If the I-beam 2514 is not at the end of stroke, the process 3800 continues along the NO branch and the control circuit 2510 receives 3804 I-beam movement and force to fire (FTF) data. In some examples, the current (I) spikes in initial and final portions of the firing stroke are less tolerated than current (I) spikes in an intermediate portion of the firing stroke.


If the time duration (t) during which the current (I) spike is maintained at a value greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold 3510 is greater than or equal to a second time period (t2), the process continues along the YES branch and the control circuit 2510 further determines 3822 whether the current (I) spike occurred in the initial zone or the final zone. If the position is outside the initial and final predetermined zone the process 3800 proceeds along the NO branch to determine 3809 if the I-beam 2514 is at the end of stroke. If the current (I) spike occurred in the initial zone or the final predetermined zone, the process 3800 continues along the YES branch and determines 3824 if the position is in the initial predetermined zone and if not true, the process 3800 proceeds along the NO branch and the control circuit 2510 selects 3807 a first motor control action. If, however, the control circuit 2510 determines that the current (I) spike occurred in an initial zone, the process 3800 continues along the YES branch and the control circuit 2510 selects 3825 a second motor control action different from the first motor control action. Examples of suitable first control actions may include dynamic braking and/or retracting of the I-beam 2514. In one example, a suitable first motor control action may involve slowing the motor 2504 to a predetermined velocity until the current (I) drawn by the motor 2504 drops below the predetermined threshold. An example of a suitable second motor control action may include dynamic braking and/or retracting of the I-beam 2514. In one example, the first or initial zone of the firing stroke may be a lockout zone, and the second motor control action may include entering a lockout state then retracting the I-beam 2514. In the lockout zone, the second motor control action may be triggered by any current (I) spike instantaneously exceeding the predetermined threshold 3510.


In various examples, the current (I) is sampled in discrete data points, as described above. In such examples, the number of data points above the predetermined threshold 3510 can be used with or instead of the time duration (t), in the process 3700 and/or the process 3800, to determine triggering events that cause the control circuit 2510 to effect specified motor control actions. In some examples, the time duration (t) a current spike is maintained above the predetermined threshold can be substituted with the number of data points above the predetermined threshold 3510 in connection with the process 3700 and/or the process 3800.


In at least one example pertaining to the process 3700, the determination 3708 (FIG. 18) of whether the time duration (t) is greater than or equal a predetermined time threshold t1 is substituted with a determination of whether the number of data points above the predetermined threshold 3510 is greater than or equal to a predetermined number N1. In another example, pertaining to the process 3800, the determination 3820 (FIG. 19) of whether the time duration (t) is greater than or equal a predetermined time threshold t1 is substituted with a determination of whether the number of data points above the predetermined threshold 3510 is greater than or equal to a predetermined number N1. In addition, the determination 3821 (FIG. 19) of whether the time duration (t) is further greater than or equal a predetermined time threshold t2 is substituted with a determination of whether the number of data points above the predetermined threshold 3510 is further greater than or equal to a predetermined number N2 greater than the predetermined number N1.


In various examples, the number of data points above the predetermined threshold 3510 that are counted can be the number consecutive data points above the predetermined threshold 3510. In some examples, every occurrence of a data point below the predetermined threshold 3510 resets the count. In some examples, the number of data points above the predetermined threshold 3510 that are counted can be the number of data points occurring in a predetermined time period. At the end of the predetermined time period, the count is reset.


The functions or processes 3600, 3700, 3800 described herein may be executed by any of the processing circuits described herein, such as the control circuit 700 described in connection with FIGS. 5-6, the circuits 800, 810, 820 described in FIGS. 7-9, the microcontroller 1104 described in connection with FIGS. 10 and 12, and/or the control circuit 2510 described in FIG. 14.
