Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of spinal biomechanics tooling, and in particular relates to a universal spinal curing barrel and a spinal angle adjustment system. Background Art

[0002] Spinal diseases are common orthopedic conditions and mainly include four types: degenerative spinal disease, spinal trauma, spinal deformity, spinal infection, and tumors. Degenerative spinal diseases mainly include cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis; spinal trauma mainly includes compression fractures, burst fractures, and spondylolysis; and spinal deformities mainly include scoliosis and kyphosis. Degenerative spinal disease and spinal trauma are the two types with the highest surgical volume. At the same time, spinal injuries can induce a variety of pathological changes, compressing and irritating nerves, causing pain, localized paralysis, and even paralysis.

[0003] The treatments for spinal diseases are mainly divided into conservative treatment and open surgical treatment. Conservative treatment generally involves bed rest with the help of medication, but it is prone to osteoporosis. Open surgical treatment involves implanting orthopedic consumables into the human body to replace or assist in the treatment of damaged bones. In 1909, Oppenheim and Krause performed the first herniated lumbar disc removal, thus ushering in an era in which surgery was the primary treatment for spinal degenerative diseases. The history of the development of spinal surgical methods is actually a history of change as people's understanding of spinal biomechanics continues to deepen.

[0004] Existing spinal biomechanical tooling is mainly divided into two categories. One type is a fixed angle curing groove, which can only keep the spine in an upright position and cannot measure the biomechanical conditions of the spine at other angles. The second type of curing groove can adjust the angle of the spine in a small range, thereby applying a certain range of force to the spine, but it still cannot meet the needs of large angle adjustment of the spine and simulate the weight of the spine in its natural state.

[0005] Through the above analysis, the problems and defects of the existing technology are: the existing spinal biomechanical tooling can only keep the spine in an upright state and cannot measure the biomechanical conditions of the spine at other angles. It cannot meet the needs of adjusting large angle changes of the spine, and cannot simulate the weight of the spine in its natural state, resulting in an increase in experimental equipment, cumbersome operation, and further increased risk of errors during the experiment. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a universal spinal curing barrel and a spinal angle adjustment system.

[0007] The present invention is achieved in that a universal spinal curing barrel comprises:

[0008] Curing barrel, chassis and weight simulation ring;

[0009] The chassis is fixed to the bottom of the curing barrel and is used to connect with the flange of the six-axis industrial robot;

[0010] The weight simulation ring is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the curing barrel body to simulate the weight borne by the spine, so that the experimental process is closer to the natural state of the spine.

[0011] Furthermore, a threaded hole is provided in the middle of the chassis for taking out the test sample, and the curing barrel can be reused by cooperating with the bolt.

[0012] Furthermore, the chassis is provided with a plurality of equally spaced threaded connection holes for connecting to the six-axis industrial robot.

[0013] Furthermore, the curing barrel body is fixedly connected to the weight simulation ring through bolts and threaded holes on all sides.

[0014] Furthermore, the curing barrel body, chassis and weight simulation ring are all made of stainless steel.

[0015] Another object of the present invention is to provide a spinal angle adjustment system comprising a universal spinal curing barrel and a six-axis industrial robot. The curing barrel is bolted to the six-axis industrial robot via equidistant threaded holes 4 on the bottom flange 2. Using RobotStudio programming, the six-axis industrial robot simulates human spinal flexion. The six-axis robot drives the universal spinal curing barrel to simulate the position of the spine in any state.

[0016] Furthermore, the universal spine curing barrel is fixedly connected to the flange of the six-axis industrial robot through the threaded connection hole on the chassis.

[0017] In combination with the above technical solutions and the technical problems solved, the advantages and positive effects of the technical solutions to be protected by the present invention are as follows:

[0018] The present invention can better simulate the states of the spine at different angles by cooperating with a six-axis industrial robot and a universal curing barrel. First, the six-axis robot drives the universal curing barrel to simulate the position of the spine in any state. Second, the chassis can be well connected and coordinated with the flange of the six-axis industrial robot. A threaded hole is designed at the bottom of the chassis, so that when the spine is cured in the curing barrel body using dental tray powder, the cured spine can be squeezed out through the bottom threaded hole to achieve the function of reuse. At the same time, threaded holes are also drilled around the curing barrel body for adding a weight simulation ring that simulates the weight borne by the spine, making the experimental process closer to the natural state of the spine. The universal curing barrel is made entirely of stainless steel, which not only increases the weight and facilitates the simulation of the ring, but also prolongs its service life.

[0019] The present invention can better simulate the states of the spine at different angles by cooperating with a six-axis industrial robot and a universal curing barrel. At the same time, threaded holes are also drilled around the cylindrical body of the curing barrel for installing weight simulation rings that simulate the weight borne by the spine, making the experimental process closer to the natural state of the spine.

[0020] Does the technical solution of the present invention solve the technical problems that people have always wanted to solve but have never been able to solve: combining the universal spinal curing cylinder with the six-axis industrial robot solves the problem that the existing tooling cannot simulate the freedom of normal spinal movement, and adds a weight ring to reduce the cumbersomeness of operation.

[0021] Whether the technical solution of the present invention overcomes technical prejudice: The technical solution of the present invention overcomes the prejudice of relying solely on the tooling itself to adjust the spinal angle. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
