Surgical tool and medical manipulator
In a surgical tool, the treatment tool piece operating joint includes a first operating rotation member which is coupled to the moving member and is rotated around a predetermined rotation center; a second operating rotation member which is coupled to the first operating rotation member so as to relatively rotate around a rotation center coaxial with the second bending rotary shaft in a rotation direction opposite to a rotation direction of the first operating rotation member or around a rotation center that is a position closer to the first bending rotary shaft than the second bending rotary shaft in a rotation direction opposite to a rotation direction of the first operating rotation member; and a link which converts a rotational force of the second operating rotation member into the operation of the treatment tool piece.
1. A surgical tool comprising:
a longitudinal member;
a bending double joint coupled to an end part of the longitudinal member so as to be actuated by a first actuating member; and
a treatment part coupled to the bending double joint, the treatment part being configured to perform a treatment on a target region so as to be actuated by a second actuating member;
wherein the bending double joint comprises:
a first fitting teeth part fixed to a distal end of the longitudinal member, the first fitting teeth part configured to rotate about a first axis;
a second fitting teeth part fixed to the treatment part and comes into rolling contact with the first fitting teeth part, the second fitting teeth part being configured to rotate about a second axis, the second axis being parallel to the first axis; and
a body part rotatably coupled to both the first axis and the second axis, and
wherein the treatment part comprises:
a first operating rotation member configured to be rotated about the first axis-by the second actuating member;
a second operating rotation member configured to be rotated about the second axis by rotating the first operating rotation member; and
a link configured to actuate the treatment part by converting a rotational force caused by rotating the second operating rotation member, wherein the link comprises:
a rack configured to be moved by meshing with a pinion when the pinion is rotated; and
a link mechanism coupled to the rack, the link mechanism being configured to actuate the treatment part by converting a force caused by moving the rack.
2. The surgical tool according to claim 1 , wherein the treatment part comprising a pair of jaws configured to be opened or closed by the link.
3. The surgical tool according to claim 1 , wherein the first operating rotation member comprising a first gear, and the second operating rotation member comprising a second gear, the second gear being configured to be rotated about the second axis by meshing with the first gear when the first gear is rotated.
4. The surgical tool according to claim 1 , wherein the link mechanism is a toggle mechanism.
5. The surgical tool according to claim 1 , wherein the link mechanism is a pantagraph mechanism.
6. A medical manipulator comprising:
a slave manipulator comprising the surgical tool according to claim 1 ;
a master manipulator configured to generate a command so as to operate the slave manipulator;
an actuator configured to actuate the first actuating member or the second actuating member; and
a controller configured to control the actuator by the command.
7. The medical manipulator according to claim 6 , further comprising a detector configured to detect an operation amount of the actuator, wherein the controller is configured to control the actuator based on the detected operation amount of the actuator.
8. The medical manipulator according to claim 6 , wherein the first operating rotation member comprising a first gear, and the second operating rotation member comprising a second gear, the second gear configured to be rotated about the second axis by meshing with the first gear rotated.
9. The medical manipulator according to claim 6 , wherein the link mechanism is a toggle mechanism.
10. The medical manipulator according to claim 6 , wherein the link mechanism is a pantagraph mechanism.
