Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a universal screwdriver with a track shear. Background Art

[0002] In orthopedic surgery, the surgical area of ​​bones such as the mandible or hip joint cannot be fully exposed to avoid excessive damage due to their deep layers, complex structures, and rich blood vessels in the surrounding tissues. Screws in deep bones are often difficult to install due to the narrow space, and common biological screw installation tools are similar to ordinary screwdrivers. The cone handle of ordinary screwdrivers is long and straight, and it is difficult to reach into the operable area to contact the screw, which has great limitations in the medical field.

[0003] The utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN205359615U discloses a universal screwdriver, which consists of a movable handle, a universal joint shaft and a universal ball head, wherein the universal joint head and the screwdriver head are connected through the universal ball head, so that the universal joint head, the universal ball head and the screwdriver head form a universal joint structure to achieve multi-angle changes of the screwdriver head, which is convenient for reaching into a narrow area to remove or install bone screws; however, because the screwdriver head is too flexible, it is not easy to control when twisting, and the universal ball head has a large range of movement when turning the screw, which is easy to contact the patient's affected area or blood vessels, which is relatively dangerous. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a universal screwdriver with a track shear in view of the defects in the prior art.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a universal screwdriver with a track cutter, comprising a universal screwdriver, a track cutter mounted outside the universal screwdriver and a rotating component mounted on the universal screwdriver, the universal screwdriver comprising a handle, a cone sleeve fixedly connected to one end of the handle and a universal hose inserted into the cone sleeve, a straight rail is provided at one end of the track cutter, the straight rail is sleeved outside the cone sleeve, wherein a cone head is fixedly connected to one end of the universal hose away from the handle, a curved rail is fixedly connected to one end of the straight rail close to the cone head, and the universal hose is inserted into the curved rail so that the axis of the cone head does not coincide with the axis of the cone sleeve.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution and the universal hose commonly found on the market, not only can the cone head be rotated at multiple angles and in multiple directions to adapt to operating environments of different sizes, but the rotation range is always kept within the cross-sectional range of the universal hose. Compared with the more abrupt rotation range of the universal joint, the probability of the screwdriver contacting the patient's body is reduced, and the occurrence of medical accidents is effectively reduced; and by providing a track shear with a curved track, the swing of the cone head is effectively restricted so that the cone head can only rotate in one direction, ensuring that the bone screw can be stably installed or removed from the bone. At the same time, in terms of installation method, the curved track can be opened or merged simply by opening or merging the track shears. The operation is simple and convenient, the structure is simple, and the practicability is strong.

[0007] As a further illustration of the present invention, preferably, a cone seat is arranged between the universal hose and the cone head, the universal hose is fixedly connected to the cone seat, the cone head is inserted into the cone seat, and the outer diameter of the cone seat is greater than the outer diameter of the curved rail.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, a cone seat is provided to prevent the cone head from moving along the axial direction of the cone head, thereby ensuring that the screwdriver can stably output the axial force to the bone screw for installing the bone screw.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, setting the clamp block can further stabilize the deflection direction of the universal hose, and setting a spacing of 0.5mm to 2mm allows the universal hose to be embedded in the clamp block without damaging the universal hose, while also ensuring the stability of the cone head's rotation direction.

[0011] As a further illustration of the present invention, preferably, a groove is provided at one end of the clamping block close to the conical seat, the groove is semi-conical, and the end with a larger diameter of the groove faces the conical seat.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the contact area between the cone seat and the clamping block is reduced, making the cone seat easier to rotate.

[0013] As a further illustration of the present invention, preferably, a bent rod is fixedly connected between the track shears and the straight rail, so that the length direction of the track shears is not the same as the length direction of the straight rail.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the track shears do not contact the universal screwdriver, which facilitates separate operation and avoids mutual interference.

[0015] As a further illustration of the present invention, preferably, the bending angle of the bending rod ranges from 120° to 160°.

[0019] As a further illustration of the present invention, preferably, the rotating component is a knob or a motor, wherein the outer diameter of the knob is larger than the outer diameter of the handle, and the knob does not contact the track shears.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the knob can be manually rotated, which is suitable for shorter bone screws. The feed amount or rotation amount of the bone screw can be freely controlled to avoid secondary injury to the patient caused by a faster speed. The motor can be automatically rotated, which is suitable for longer bone screws, saving time and reducing the workload of doctors.

[0021] As a further explanation of the present invention, preferably, the middle portion of the connecting groove is in the shape of a circular hole, a square hole is opened on one side of the circular hole, a boss with the same shape as the connecting groove is provided at the bottom of the knob, the boss or the motor shaft is embedded in the connecting groove, and the knob and the connecting block are both magnetic.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection block can be used to install both the knob and the motor, killing two birds with one stone. At the same time, the knob and the motor can be adsorbed on the connection block to prevent the knob and the motor from falling off.

[0023] As a further illustration of the present invention, preferably, square fixing grooves are provided on both sides of the connecting block on the top surface of the handle, and when the rotating component is a motor, the motor seat installed on the motor is embedded in the fixing grooves to fix the position of the motor.

The rotating component 3 is inserted into the connecting groove 17 to drive the steel rope in the universal hose 13 to rotate. The connection groove 17 is provided so that the rotating component 3 can be connected to the connecting block 16, and then the universal hose 13 can be rotated by driving the rotating component 3; the knob can be manually rotated, which is suitable for bone screws with shorter lengths, and the feeding amount or rotation amount of the bone screws can be freely controlled to avoid secondary damage to the patient at a faster speed; the motor can be automatically rotated, which is suitable for bone screws with longer lengths, saving time and reducing the workload of doctors.

[0045] Combination Figure 7 , Figure 8 The middle part of the connecting groove 17 is in the shape of a circular hole, and a square hole is provided on one side of the circular hole. A boss with the same shape as the connecting groove 17 is provided at the bottom of the knob, and the boss or the motor shaft is embedded in the connecting groove 17. The knob and the connecting block 16 are both magnetic, so that the connecting block 16 can be installed with both the knob and the motor, killing two birds with one stone, and at the same time, the knob and the motor can be adsorbed on the connecting block 16 to prevent the knob and the motor from falling off; the top surface of the handle 11 is located on both sides of the connecting block 16 and has square fixing grooves 18. When the rotating component 3 is a motor, the motor seat installed on the motor is embedded in the fixing groove 18 to fix the position of the motor. The fixing groove 18 is set to limit the rotation of the motor body, so as to prevent the motor shaft from rotating and outputting torque to the motor body, so that the motor body rotates, and ensures that the motor can stably output torque to the cone head 15.

[0046] In summary, the present invention adopts the universal hose commonly seen on the market, which not only enables the cone head to rotate at multiple angles and in multiple directions, thereby adapting to operating environments of different sizes, but also the rotation range is always maintained within the cross-sectional range of the universal hose. Compared with the more abrupt rotation range of the universal joint, the probability of the screwdriver contacting the patient's body is reduced, and the occurrence of medical accidents is effectively reduced; and by providing a track shear with a curved track, the swing of the cone head is effectively restricted, so that the cone head can only rotate in one direction, ensuring that the bone screw can be stably installed or removed from the bone. At the same time, in terms of installation method, the curved track can be opened or merged only by opening or merging the track shears, which is simple and convenient to operate, simple in structure, and highly practical.
