ROBOTIC SURGICAL CART
A robotic surgical cart ( 300 ) for a robotic arm ( 201 ) is disclosed herein. The robotic surgical cart ( 300 ) comprises a column ( 401 ) having a first end ( 403 ) and a second end ( 405 ). The robotic surgical cart ( 300 ) further comprises a top plate ( 407 ) affixed on the first end ( 403 ) of the column ( 401 ), where the top plate ( 407 ) is configured to mount the robotic arm ( 201 ) thereon, and at least one guiding shaft ( 411 ) affixed on one end to the top plate ( 407 ), that provides a controlled channel for movement of the robotic arm ( 201 ).The robotic surgical cart ( 300 ) further comprises a telescopic pillar ( 415 ) including two or more tubular members ( 417, 419 ), affixed below the top plate ( 407 ). The telescopic pillar ( 415 ) defines a longitudinal axis to provide upward and downward movement of the two or more tubular members ( 417, 419 ) in the channel provided by the at least one guiding shaft ( 411 ) such that the telescopic pillar ( 415 ) moves the robotic arm ( 201 ) in a position in which a portion of the robotic arm ( 201 ) is exposed to contact a patient on a surgical table.
1 . A robotic surgical cart ( 300 ) for a robotic arm ( 201 ), comprising:
a column ( 401 ) having a first end ( 403 ) and a second end ( 405 ),
a top plate ( 407 ) affixed on the first end ( 403 ) of the column ( 401 ), wherein the top plate ( 407 ) is configured to mount the robotic arm ( 201 ) thereon;
at least one guiding shaft ( 411 ) affixed on one end to the top plate ( 407 ), that provides a controlled channel for movement of the robotic arm ( 201 ); and
a telescopic pillar ( 415 ) including two or more tubular members ( 417 , 419 ), affixed below the top plate ( 407 ); the telescopic pillar ( 415 ) defining a longitudinal axis to provide upward and downward movement of the two or more tubular members ( 417 , 419 ) in the channel provided by the at least one guiding shaft ( 411 ) such that the telescopic pillar ( 415 ) moves the robotic arm ( 201 ) in a position in which a portion of the robotic arm ( 201 ) is exposed to contact a patient on a surgical table.
2 . The robotic surgical cart ( 300 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two or more tubular members ( 417 , 419 ) coaxial with one another and telescopically engaged one inside the other.
3 . The robotic surgical cart ( 300 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two or more tubular members ( 417 , 419 ) are configured to move upward and downward within a range of 1 mm to 150 mm.
4 . The robotic surgical cart ( 300 ) as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a user interface ( 453 ) pivotally affixed to the first end ( 403 ) of the column ( 401 ), wherein the user interface ( 453 ) provides the controls for the movement of the robotic arm ( 201 ) and wherein the user interface ( 453 ) comprises a screen displaying the height of the robotic surgical cart ( 300 ) and the distance from the surgical table.
5 . The robotic surgical cart ( 300 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the column ( 401 ) comprises at least one shaft and at least one stabilizing plate joined together with the shaft at an end.
6 . The robotic surgical cart ( 300 ) as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a control box ( 421 ) affixed within the column ( 401 ), wherein the control box ( 421 ) is configured to provide power to the telescopic pillar ( 415 ).
7 . The robotic surgical cart ( 300 ) as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a secondary battery ( 423 ) affixed to the second end ( 405 ) of the column ( 401 ), wherein the secondary battery ( 423 ) is a backup battery to power the telescopic pillar ( 415 ) in case of a failure of the control box ( 421 ).
8 . The robotic surgical cart ( 300 ) as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an outer casing ( 447 ) enclosing the column ( 401 ) and the other components ( 415 , 421 , 423 ) of the robotic surgical cart ( 300 ).
9 . The robotic surgical cart as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a handle bar ( 451 ) pivotally affixed to the first end ( 403 ) of the column ( 401 ), wherein the handle has a U-shaped structure and configured to allow a user to move the robotic surgical cart ( 300 ) from one position to another position.
10 . The robotic surgical cart ( 300 ) as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a footprint ring ( 443 ) affixed on the second end ( 405 ) of the column ( 401 ), wherein the footprint ring ( 443 ) provides a platform to the robotic surgical cart ( 300 ).
