[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 5 In an embodiment of the present invention, an automatic irrigation milling cutter device for neurosurgery craniotomy includes a handle support 4 and a rotating milling cutter 8, wherein the milling cutter 8 is rotatably connected to the handle support 4, and a cooling device for cooling the milling cutter 8 is provided at the bottom end of the handle support 4; the top end of the milling cutter 8 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the pneumatic drive mechanism installed inside the handle support 4, and the trachea 1 arranged at the top end of the handle support 4 is connected to the air source, that is, the milling cutter 8 is driven to rotate by the air source to perform milling and cutting. Compared with the power supply drive, the air source drive has a small drive mechanism, thereby reducing the overall weight of the handle support 4, making it light and convenient for doctors to hold and operate.

[0025] The cooling device includes a nozzle support 7 and a nozzle 10, wherein the nozzle support 7 and the nozzle 10 are detachably connected, and both the nozzle support 7 and the nozzle 10 are slidably connected to the handle support 4, and the nozzle support 7 is coaxial with the milling cutter 8 and is arranged on the outside of the milling cutter 8. A plurality of water outlet holes 101 are distributed in an inner circumferential array of the nozzle support 7, and the water outlet holes 101 surround the outer circumferential side of the milling cutter 8. The coolant is sprayed on the surface of the milling cutter 8 through the water outlet holes 101, thereby cooling the working milling cutter 8. Compared with the existing method of flushing the milling cutter 8 through a manual handheld catheter, the flushing device disclosed in the present invention has a good cooling effect, and can fully cover the outer circumference of the milling cutter 8 for watering and cooling, and has a good cooling effect and fast cooling, and at the same time will not interfere with the doctor's operation, thereby ensuring the safety and convenience of the surgical operation.

[0026] A first arc groove 102 is provided on the top surface of the nozzle 10, and a second arc groove 103 is provided on the bottom surface of the support 7 on the nozzle. When the nozzle 10 and the support 7 on the nozzle are tightly connected, the first arc groove 102 and the second arc groove 103 are combined into an annular cavity for storing water. A water injection port 71 is provided on the infusion tube 2, which penetrates to the top surface of the support 7 on the nozzle. The top of the water injection port 71 is connected to the infusion tube 2, and the other end of the infusion tube 2 is connected to a micro pump. The coolant is transmitted by the micro pump to the annular cavity formed by the first arc groove 102 and the second arc groove 103, and then evenly distributed to the water outlet 101, and sandblasted onto the milling cutter 8 through the water outlet 101 to cool the milling cutter 8.

[0027] Preferably, in order to prevent the milling cutter 8 from hitting the brain on the inside of the skull during operation, in some embodiments, an L-shaped plate 9 is provided under the milling cutter 8. The L-shaped plate 9 is L-shaped, and the distance between the top surface of the horizontal plate of the L-shaped plate 9 and the bottom end of the milling cutter 8 is not less than 2 mm. The top end of the vertical plate of the L-shaped plate 9 is fixedly connected to the handle support 4 by bolts 11. When in use, the L-shaped plate 9 is hooked onto the inside of the skull, that is, the handle support 4 is pulled up and moved according to the specified shape path to achieve skull cutting. It has a limiting effect, is easy to operate, and reduces the safety risk of operation.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the support 7 and the nozzle 10 on the nozzle are connected by threads, and a sealing gasket is provided between the support 7 and the nozzle 10 on the nozzle, which is not only convenient for installation and disassembly, but also convenient for processing and manufacturing. The sealing gasket improves the sealing performance of the connection between the support 7 and the nozzle 10 on the nozzle, preventing the coolant from splashing and affecting the operation.

[0029] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, connecting rods 72 are symmetrically distributed on the top of the support 7 on the nozzle, and a circular groove 42 for accommodating the connecting rod 72 is opened on the bottom end surface of the handle support 4. The connecting rod 72 is slidably connected to the circular groove 42. The support 7 on the nozzle is slidably connected to the handle support 4 through the connecting rod 72. The position of the support 7 on the nozzle relative to the milling cutter 8 can be flexibly adjusted. It is practical and flexible, and easy to install and disassemble.

[0030] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of limiting holes 73 are provided on the connecting rod 72, and a slidable limiting pin 14 is provided on the handle support 4 for limiting and fixing with the limiting hole 73. The limiting pin 14 is connected with the limiting hole 73 with a transition gap, that is, the support 7 on the nozzle is fixed by the limiting pin 14 and the limiting hole 73. That is, after adjusting the position of the support 7 on the nozzle, the corresponding limiting hole 73 on the support 7 on the nozzle is aligned with the limiting pin 14, and the limiting pin 14 is inserted into the limiting hole 73 to realize the relative fixation of the support 7 on the nozzle.

[0031] In some embodiments, the annular stopper 5 is formed by splicing a first semicircular ring 51 and a second semicircular ring 52. Figure 5 As shown, the first semicircular ring 51 and the second semicircular ring 52 are radially provided with a pin hole 512 for accommodating the limit pin 14, the limit pin 14 is slidably connected to the pin hole 512, and a spring 13 is provided at the end of the limit pin 14 away from the handle support 4, and a screw plug 12 is provided at the end of the spring 13 away from the limit pin 14, and the screw plug 12 is threadedly connected to the pin hole 512. When the position of the support 7 on the nozzle needs to be adjusted, the annular limit block 5 is rotated to make the limit pin 14 disengage from the limit hole 73. At this time, the spring 13 is in a compressed state, and the connecting rod 72 is moved to adjust the position. After the position adjustment is completed, the annular limit block 5 is rotated to make the limit pin 14 align with the limit hole 73 on the support 7 on the nozzle. Under the elastic force of the spring 13, the limit pin 14 is pushed to insert into the limit hole 73 to limit and fix the support 7 on the nozzle. The screw plug 12 is threadedly connected to the first semicircular ring 51 for easy installation and disassembly.

[0032] Preferably, if Figure 6 As shown, a first annular groove 43 for accommodating the annular limit block 5 is radially opened on the outer circumferential surface of the handle support 4 near the bottom end, and a circular hole 44 for accommodating the limit pin 14 is radially opened in the first annular groove 43. The circular hole 44 penetrates into the circular groove 42 opened on the bottom surface of the handle support 4, that is, the annular limit block 5 rotates along the first annular groove 43, is not easy to fall off, and is convenient to grasp.

[0033] Preferably, if Figure 2 and 5 As shown, one end of the first semicircular ring 51 and the second semicircular ring 52 are hinged, the other end of the first semicircular ring 51 is provided with a clamping head 511, and the other end of the second semicircular ring 52 is provided with a groove that can accommodate the clamping head 511, that is, the other ends of the first semicircular ring 51 and the second semicircular ring 52 are clamped by the clamping head 511. When disassembling, the clamping head 511 is pressed beyond the protrusion on the outside of the annular limit block 5, so that the clamping head 511 is disengaged from the groove at the other end of the second semicircular ring 52, thereby separating the first semicircular ring 51 and the second semicircular ring 52, which is easy to operate and convenient to install and disassemble.

[0034] A second annular groove 45 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the upper end of the handle support 4, and a limiting belt 3 is provided in the second annular groove 45 for fixing the infusion tube 2 placed in the placement groove 41. The limiting belts 3 and the annular limiting blocks 5 arranged above and below the handle support 4 fix the infusion tube 2 in the handle support 4 so that it is not easy to fall out, thereby preventing the infusion tube 2 from moving around and making it inconvenient to operate the handle support 4.

[0035] The working principle of the present invention is: when performing an operation, by connecting the air source, the air enters into the handle support 4 through the trachea 1, driving the air source driving device to rotate, thereby driving the milling cutter 8 to rotate to perform skull cutting. When in use, pull it upward so that the plane on the horizontal plate of the L-shaped plate 9 fits with the inner top surface of the skull to prevent the milling cutter 8 from accidentally injuring the brain tissue. Start the micro pump to transfer the coolant through the infusion tube 2 to the support 7 and the nozzle 10 on the nozzle, and then spray it on the milling cutter 8 through the water outlet 101 to continuously cool the milling cutter 8.
