Abstract: A method of controlling motor velocity in a surgical instrument is disclosed. The surgical instrument includes a displacement member, a motor coupled to the displacement member, a control circuit coupled to the motor, a position sensor coupled to the control circuit, and a timer coupled to the control circuit. The method includes receiving a first position of a displacement member from a position sensor, starting a timer, advancing the displacement member to a second position by setting a motor velocity to a first velocity, receiving the second positon from the position sensor, stopping the timer when the displacement member reaches the second position, receiving elapsed time from the timer, wherein the elapsed time is the time taken by the displacement to move from the first position to the second positon, and controlling, by the control circuit, velocity of the motor based on the elapsed time.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an electric surgical stapler, including a handle the handle having a handle body, a driving motor and a control unit for controlling the driving motor to operate; a working head, including an anvil, a cartridge, a closing mechanism, a firing mechanism, a housing for accommodating the closing mechanism and the firing mechanism, a closing limit switch, and a closing height adjustment shift switch configured to transmit information of a closing height control shift to the control unit, wherein during closing, the control unit is configured to control the closing mechanism to move until the closing limit switch is triggered so that a closing distance between the anvil and the cartridge is at a preset closing height, and the control unit is further configured to control the closing mechanism to move after receiving information transmitted from the closing limit switch, so that the closing distance between the anvil and the cartridge is adjusted to be consistent with a preset closing distance corresponding to a current shift of the closing height adjustment shift switch. Since a certain distance is closed in advance, clearances in the transmission mechanism have been eliminated, and the adjustment of the closing height can be accurately implemented to achieve desired closing height.
