Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ophthalmic scalpels, and in particular relates to a self-locking ophthalmic scalpel. Background Art

[0002] Cataract is the most important cause of blindness in the world. It is the number one eye disease in my country and a curable blindness. During the treatment, an ophthalmic scalpel is needed. Ophthalmic scalpel is an essential tool for ophthalmic microsurgery, especially cataract surgery. It is divided into two types: disposable and reusable. Both types are composed of a blade and a handle. The front end of the blade is a blade, which is the cutting part. The shape and size of the blade vary according to the needs of the operation. Some blades are very small and suitable for fine cutting, while others are wider and suitable for larger incisions. The design of the blade also varies. Some are straight, some are curved, and some have specific angles or shapes to adapt to different surgical operations. The handle is the part that the user holds to control the movement of the blade.

[0003] The shortcomings of the ophthalmic scalpels currently on the market are: 1. The blade cannot be rotated. The ophthalmic scalpel will design the bending part on the blade, so that one specification is matched with one angle, such as 30°, 45°, 60°, etc. If the user needs to use an ophthalmic scalpel with other angles in clinical use, he must open another model. 2. The blade cannot be replaced. Ophthalmic scalpels use one model with one blade, such as puncture knives, tunnel knives, spear knives, side cutters, pterygium knives, etc. Different types of blades are suitable for different surgical operations. Generally, users will prepare a variety of ophthalmic scalpels needed for surgery in advance. If the inventory cannot cover all models and specifications of ophthalmic scalpels, it may affect the user's lack of matching knives for different surgical operations during the operation, resulting in the operation not achieving the expected results or more serious failure of the operation, causing the patient to receive irreversible pain and damage. If other conditions arise during surgery and blades of other angles and styles are required, but they are not available in the operating room, the patient needs to go to the warehouse to get them, which will prolong the operation time and may lead to unpredictable risks for the patient. The blade replacement operation is cumbersome and complicated, and may even require professionals or users who have undergone multiple trainings to complete the corresponding functional operations. 3. High cost of use. Since the blade cannot be rotated and replaced, multiple ophthalmic scalpels may be needed for one operation, resulting in higher surgical costs for the patient.

[0004] In view of the above problems, the inventors have proposed an ophthalmic scalpel with a self-locking, rotatable and replaceable blade. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art that the blade cannot be rotated, the blade cannot be replaced, and the use cost is high, and a self-locking ophthalmic scalpel is proposed. The self-locking ophthalmic scalpel has the function of blade replacement, blade angle rotation and blade rotation self-locking, so that the blade of the ophthalmic scalpel is easy to replace and rotate and adjust, which can reduce the use cost.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0011] Furthermore, shaft rotation holes are provided on the cutter head rotating wheels on both sides, the shaft rotation hole on one side is a through hole, and the other side is a blind hole, and a pressing spring is provided in the shaft rotation hole on one side of the blind hole, one end of the shaft is arranged on the pressing spring, and the other end extends to the outside of the cutter head rotating wheel to form a function button.

[0012] Furthermore, a C-shaped retaining spring is clamped on the rotating shaft, and the C-shaped retaining spring is located between the tool handle rotating wheel and the tool head rotating wheel.

[0013] Furthermore, the self-locking component includes a rotating chuck, which is fixedly arranged on the rotating conversion head. The rotating chuck is provided with a first angle limit surface on one side corresponding to the rotating shaft, and a plurality of second angle limit surfaces are provided on the circumference of the rotating shaft corresponding to the first angle limit surface.

[0014] Furthermore, the first angle limiting surface and the second angle limiting surface are planar structures and fit each other after being butted.

[0015] Furthermore, a ring-shaped cutter head rotation groove is provided on one side of the rotating shaft located on the rotating chuck. After the rotating shaft is pressed, the rotating chuck enters the cutter head rotation groove for rotating the cutter head. After the rotating shaft is released, the rotating chuck disengages from the cutter head rotation groove and causes the angle limit surface to be clamped on the axial surface of the rotating shaft.

[0031] The structural features of the present invention are now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 A self-locking ophthalmic scalpel comprises a handle 1 and a blade 2. A rotary conversion head 3 is arranged between the blade 2 and the handle 1. The front end of the rotary conversion head 3 is a tubular structure for inserting the blade 2. The blade 2 can be replaced with different types according to the needs of clinical procedures, such as a main cutter, a tunnel knife, a spear-shaped knife, a side cutter, etc. A switching rod 21 matching the size of the rotary conversion head 3 is arranged at one end of the blade 2. The diameter of the switching rod 21 matches the inner diameter of the tubular shape at the front end of the rotary conversion head 3, so that it can be stably inserted. In order to fix the cutter head 2, positioning components for fixing the switching rod 21 are provided on both sides of the rotary conversion head 3, wherein the positioning components include a plunger spring 4, and positioning grooves 31 for fixing and installing the plunger spring 4 are provided on both sides of the rotary conversion head 3, the ball head end of the plunger spring 4 is located inside the rotary conversion head 3, and locking grooves 22 adapted to the size of the ball head of the plunger spring 4 are provided on both sides of the switching rod 21. Specifically, when disassembling, hold the tail end root of the cutter head 2 and directly pull out from the rotary conversion head 3. Textures can be provided at the tail end of the cutter head 2 to increase the holding friction, which helps to hold and prevent slipping and being scratched by the blade. When installing, hold the tail end root of other models of cutter heads 2 and insert them into the rotary conversion head 3. After hearing a "click" sound, the locking and fixation is completed. At this time, the spring in the plunger spring 4 pushes the ball head plunger at the front end to engage in the locking groove 22.

[0033] The end of the rotary conversion head 3 away from the cutter head 2 is rotatably connected to the handle 1 through the rotating shaft 5. The rotary conversion head 3 and the handle 1 are provided with a rotary connection assembly for connecting the rotating shaft 5. The rotary connection assembly includes a handle rotating wheel 11 and a cutter head rotating wheel 32. The handle rotating wheel 11 is fixedly arranged on both sides of the end of the handle 1. The rotating shaft 5 is axially movable on the handle rotating wheel 11, and the cutter head rotating wheel 32 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 5. Specifically, when in use, the cutter head 2 and the rotary conversion head 3 can be rotated at any angle around the rotating shaft 5, so as to adjust the angle of the cutter head 2.

[0034] In order to fix the cutter head 2 after rotation, a shaft fixing groove 12 is provided on at least one side of the handle rotating wheel 11, and a rotating fixing surface 52 adapted to the shaft fixing groove 12 is provided at one end of the shaft 5 corresponding to the shaft fixing groove 12, and one end of the shaft 5 with the rotating fixing surface 52 is inserted into the shaft fixing groove 12, so that the shaft 5 and the handle rotating wheel 11 do not rotate, but can move left and right in the axial direction.

Specifically, when the cutter head 2 and the tool handle 1 are in a horizontal state, the first angle limit surface 35 corresponds to the second angle limit surface 53 in a vertical state. At this time, the cutter head 2 corresponds to an angle of 0°. The function button of the rotating shaft 5 is pressed to make the rotating chuck 34 on the rotary conversion head 3 enter the cutter head rotating groove 51 on the rotating shaft 5, and the limiting effect of the rotating chuck 34 on the rotary conversion head 3 is released, so that the cutter head 2 can rotate. The cutter head 2 is rotated to the required angle so that the first angle limit surface 35 corresponds to the second angle limit surface 53 at other angles, and then the rotating shaft 5 is released to make it rebound under the action of the pressing spring 6, so that the first angle limit surface 35 on the rotating chuck 34 automatically clamps the rotating shaft 5, thereby realizing the angle limit fixation and completing the locking fixation.

[0035] The self-locking ophthalmic scalpel of the present invention has the functions of blade replacement, blade angle rotation and blade rotation self-locking, so that the blade of the ophthalmic scalpel is easy to replace and easy to rotate and adjust, which can meet all clinical surgical operation requirements. The operation process is simple and fast, and the use cost can be reduced. On the one hand, the user only needs to pull out or insert the required blade 2, and the blade 2 can be replaced with different models to meet the needs of various clinical procedures. On the other hand, during use, by setting a rotating chuck 34 and setting a plurality of second angle limit surfaces 53, the ophthalmic scalpel has a blade rotation self-locking function. The user presses the function button to rotate the blade 2 to the required angle, releases the function button, and the blade 2 can be fixed and locked by itself, realizing the self-locking rotation of the blade, and will not shake due to the unlimited position after the rotation angle, affecting the safety of the operation.
