Swivel bed for a surgical robotics system

摘要

A surgical robotics system with robotic arms is configurable to perform a variety of surgical procedures. The system includes a table, column, base, and robotic arms that are either column-mounted, rail-mounted, or mounted on a separate unit. In a column-mounted configuration, the column includes column rings that translate vertically and rotate about the column. The robotic arms are attached to the column rings. In a rail-mounted configuration, the base includes base rails that translate along the base. The robotic arms are attached to the base rails. In both, the robotic arms move independently from each other and include multiple arm segments. Each arm segment provides an additional degree of freedom to the robotic arm. Thus, the system may position the robotic arms into numerous configurations to access different parts of a patient's body. The surgical bed may include a swivel segment that rotates laterally on the plane of the bed.

主权项

1. A surgical bed comprising:
a bearing mechanism including a first bearing subassembly and a second bearing subassembly, the first bearing subassembly movably coupled to the second bearing subassembly; a bed base coupled to the first bearing subassembly, the bed base extending along a plane to support a patient; and a swivel segment movably coupled to the bed base and configured to rotate about an axis orthogonal to the plane of the bed base, the swivel segment coupled to the second bearing subassembly, wherein the bearing mechanism is configured to rotate the swivel segment relative to the bed base and about the axis, wherein the swivel segment comprises a cutout section and a first curved edge, and wherein the bed base comprises a center segment with a second curved edge mated to the first curved edge.
