Temperature actuated mechanical counter with bimetallic deflectable plate
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240028864A1) describes a temperature actuated mechanical counter designed for use in a robotic surgical tool. The counter includes a top plate with index features, a base with base index features, an index plate with numerical identifiers, and a deflectable plate that moves the index plate based on temperature changes. The deflectable plate is made of a bimetallic material and causes the index plate to rotate about a post, locking into a new index location when deflected and reverting to an undeflected state. A spring between the index plate and the base helps move the index plate when the deflectable plate reverts.
Additionally, the robotic surgical tool housing contains the temperature actuated mechanical counter, with the top plate, base, and index plate made of high-temperature plastic material. The counter operates based on temperature changes, with the deflectable plate deflecting at a first temperature and reverting at a second temperature. The design allows for precise tracking and locking of index locations, crucial for accurate measurements and adjustments during surgical procedures. The inclusion of a spring ensures consistent movement of the index plate, enhancing the overall functionality of the robotic surgical tool.
