Apparatus for locking surgical instrument by using magnetic force

Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus for locking a surgical instrument by using magnetic force and, more specifically, to an apparatus for locking a surgical instrument by using magnetic force, which installs or uninstalls an instrument for microsurgery by using magnetic force in order to reduce a load that may occur during installing/uninstalling an instrument for microsurgery. To this end, disclosed is the apparatus for locking a surgical instrument by using magnetic force, comprising: a first magnetic force unit which forms a locking magnetic force when moving in a locking direction so that an attractive force is applied in a different direction from the locking direction and a locking operation is performed, and forms a release magnetic force when moving in a release direction so that a repulsive force is applied in a different direction from the release direction and an unlocking operation is performed; a second magnetic force unit which is fixed and forms the locking magnetic force and the release magnetic force by interacting with the first magnetic force generation unit; and a locking unit which is locked or unlocked due to the attractive force and the repulsive force generated by the first and second magnetic force units when moving in the locking direction and the release direction, so as to install and uninstall the surgical instrument.
