It can also allow the applied torque to act completely on the screw, reducing mechanical losses caused by angular deviation, thereby improving the efficiency of torque transmission of the screwdriver, thus ensuring that the torque required during the screw installation process is completely effective and ensuring precise operation.

[0021] By setting a limiting portion, the connecting rod can be limited by spring 1, the movable seat and the clamping portion, so that the connecting rod can only move in one direction toward the pedicle screw, ensuring that one end of the connecting rod is always tightly attached to the driving groove in the screw for rotation, ensuring that all applied force is directly used to rotate the screw and is not wasted in unnecessary directions, and at the same time, it can also avoid the situation where the connecting rod jumps out of the driving groove in the screw when the torque is large, thereby reducing torque measurement errors and operation interruptions caused by the connecting rod jumping out of the groove.

[0022] By providing a clamping adjustment part, by rotating the screw rod 1, the outer ring of the bearing, the inner ring of the bearing and the transmission rod are moved in the direction of the pedicle screw, the distance between the end of the transmission rod and the inner wall of the driving groove in the screw is reduced, and the end of the transmission rod is closely attached to the inner wall of the driving groove in the screw, thereby reducing the torque instability caused by dynamic fluctuations caused by unstable contact between the transmission rod and the screw, and avoiding the torque loss caused by the gap.

The device may be oriented in other ways, and the spatially relative descriptors used herein may be similarly interpreted accordingly.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a screw insertion torque measuring device, including a handheld end 1, wherein the handheld end 1 includes a handle 11, a torque measuring part 12 fixedly connected to one end of the handle 11, and a driving part 13 fixedly connected to one end of the torque measuring part 12.

[0044] The other end of the driving part 13 is fixedly connected with a stabilizing anti-deviation component 2, and the stabilizing anti-deviation component 2 includes a connecting rod 21 fixedly connected to the other end of the driving part 13, a limiting part 22 sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 21, a sleeve 25 rotatably connected to the outside of the limiting part 22, and a centering component 24 connected to one side of the sleeve 25.

[0045] The centering component 24 includes four seat bodies 241 connected to the lower end of the kit 25, four clamping parts 242 respectively rotatably connected to one side of the four seat bodies 241, a plurality of pawls 246 fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the four clamping parts 242, four rotating rods 244 respectively rotatably connected to the inside of the four seat bodies 241, a limiting claw 245 fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 244 for limiting the pawl 246, and four knob parts 243 respectively rotatably connected to the outer surface of one side of the four seat bodies 241, and the four knob parts 243 are respectively fixedly connected to the four rotating rods 244.

[0046] The four clamping parts 242 are rotatably connected to one side of the four base bodies 241 through four torsion springs 247 .

[0047] By adopting the above technical scheme, the tail cap of the pedicle screw is placed under the kit 25, and then the multiple clamping parts 242 are rotated, and the free end of the clamping part 242 is rotated in the direction of the tail cap. Due to the design of the limiting claw 245, the pawl 246 can be limited, so that the free end of the clamping part 242 can only rotate unidirectionally in the direction of the tail cap of the pedicle screw. In this way, the clamping part 242 can clamp the tail cap of the pedicle screw. Since the multiple clamping parts 242 clamp the tail cap of the pedicle screw in the middle, the centering component 24, the limiting part 22 and the kit 25 are positioned on the tail cap of the pedicle screw at this time. Then, the handle 11 is held by hand, and the torque measuring part 12 and the driving part 13 are moved in the direction of the tail cap of the pedicle screw through the handle 11. The connecting rod 21 fixed at one end of the driving part 13 passes through the limiting part 22 and is inserted into the tail cap of the pedicle screw. Figure 3 As shown, the hexagonal driving head at one end of the connecting rod 21 can be inserted into the hexagonal socket of the pedicle screw (a cross hole and a cross driving head can also be matched, and the matching method can adopt a variety of matching methods in the prior art, which are not limited here), and then the handle 11 is rotated to drive the torque measuring part 12, the driving part 13 and the connecting rod 21 to rotate, and the rotation of the connecting rod 21 drives the pedicle screw to rotate, so that the pedicle screw is inserted into the bone. In this process, the torque measuring part 12 can measure the torque generated during the rotation of the pedicle screw. The torque measuring part 12 is a mature prior art, and its principle is the same as that of a digital torque screwdriver. It consists of a torque sensor (the core component of the torque screwdriver, which is used to sense the applied torque value. The sensor converts the torque signal into an electrical signal), a power supply (usually a built-in rechargeable battery or a replaceable battery, which provides power for the electronic part of the torque screwdriver), and a microprocessor (responsible for processing the signal from the torque sensor and transmitting the processed data to the display screen. Other functions such as storage, alarm, peak hold, etc. can also be performed. It will not be repeated here. By measuring the real-time torque, the user can determine whether the screw is stable.

[0048] Since the clamping portion 242 can clamp the tail cap of the pedicle screw, it is ensured that the driving portion 13 can be accurately aligned with the screw head of the pedicle screw, which can effectively avoid torque loss caused by angle deviation. The driving portion 13 can transmit the torque to the pedicle screw more directly and evenly, ensuring that the applied force acts completely on the screw, reducing errors, and improving the accuracy of torque measurement. It can also allow the applied torque to act completely on the screw, reducing mechanical losses caused by angle deviation, thereby improving the efficiency of torque transmission of the screwdriver, thus ensuring that the torque required during the screw installation process is completely effective, ensuring accurate operation, and at the same time reducing The damage caused by the uneven contact surface between the driving part 13 and the driving groove in the screw head is reduced, the screw is protected, its service life is extended, and additional damage or insertion failure is avoided. By rotating the knob part 243, the rotating rod 244 can be driven to rotate. When the rotating rod 244 rotates, the limiting claw 245 can be driven to rotate, so that the limiting claw 245 is separated from the pawl 246. In this way, the limitation on the pawl 246 and the clamping part 242 can be cancelled. After the limitation on the pawl 246 and the clamping part 242 is cancelled, under the action of the torsion spring 247, the free end of the clamping part 242 can be rotated in a direction away from the pedicle screw, thereby canceling the clamping and centering of the pedicle screw.

[0049] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of slots 211 are provided on the outside of the connecting rod 21, and the limiting portion 22 includes a bearing inner ring 221 movably sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 21, a movable slot 222 provided inside the bearing inner ring 221, a movable seat 223 movably connected to the movable slot 222, a clamping portion 224 integrally formed on one side of the movable seat 223 for inserting the slot 211 and limiting the connecting rod 21, a guide column 225 with one end inserted into the movable seat 223 and the other end fixed to the inner wall of the movable slot 222, a spring 226 sleeved on the outside of the guide column 225, a displacement inclined slot 2231 provided in the movable seat 223, and a displacement component movably connected in the bearing inner ring 221 and used for driving the movable seat 223 to move, and the two ends of the spring 226 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the movable slot 222 and one side of the movable seat 223.

[0050] The displacement assembly includes a plurality of guide pillars 228 movably inserted in the bearing inner ring 221, a spring 229 sleeved on the outside of the guide pillars 228, a pressure plate 227 fixed to one end of the guide pillars 228, and an extension portion 2271 integrally formed on one side of the pressure plate 227, and the extension portion 2271 passes through the bearing inner ring 221 and enters the displacement bevel groove 2231, and one side of the extension portion 2271 is provided with an inclined surface matching the displacement bevel groove 2231, and the two ends of the spring 229 are respectively connected to the pressure plate 227 and one side of the bearing inner ring 221.

[0051] By adopting the above technical solution, when the torque measuring part 12 and the driving part 13 are moved toward the tail cap direction of the pedicle screw through the handle 11, the connecting rod 21 moves in the bearing inner ring 221. During the movement, the spring 1 226 will push the movable seat 223 to move, so that the clamping part 224 enters the clamping groove 211. Since one side of the clamping part 224 is an inclined surface, when the connecting rod 21 moves, the inner wall of the clamping groove 211 will contact one side of the inclined surface of the clamping part 224, thereby pushing the clamping part 224 out of the clamping groove 211, so that the connecting rod 21 can only move in one direction toward the pedicle screw. The spring 1 226 and the clamping part 224 can limit the connecting rod 21, so that the connecting rod 21 cannot move in the direction away from the pedicle screw, ensuring that one end of the connecting rod 21 is always tightly attached to the inner hexagon of the screw for rotation. , ensuring that all applied force is directly used to rotate the screw without being wasted in unnecessary directions. At the same time, it can also avoid the situation where the hexagonal drive head at one end of the connecting rod 21 jumps out of the inner hexagon of the screw when the torque is large, reducing the torque measurement error and operation interruption caused by the connecting rod 21 jumping out of the slot; after the measurement is completed, by pressing the pressure plate 227, the pressure plate 227 drops and squeezes the spring 229, the extension part 2271 can enter the displacement bevel groove 2231, and the inclined surface on one side of the extension part 2271 contacts the inclined surface in the displacement bevel groove 2231, thereby pushing the movable seat 223 to move in the movable groove 222 in the direction of the spring 226, and the clamping part 224 can be moved out of the clamping groove 211, so that the limit on the connecting rod 21 can be cancelled, so that the connecting rod 21 can move in the direction away from the pedicle screw.

[0052] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the kit 25 includes two upper and lower ring bodies 235 and a cover body 232 connecting the two ring bodies 235, and a clamping adjustment part 23 is also connected to the inside of the sleeve body 15, and the clamping adjustment part 23 includes a bearing outer ring 234 rotatably connected to the outside of the bearing inner ring 221 and located in the kit 25, a guide rod 233 fixed to the inside of the kit 25, and a screw rod 231 screwed into the inside of the kit 25, the screw rod 231 is screwed into the bearing outer ring 234, and one end of the screw rod 231 passes through the upper ring body 235 and extends outward, and the bearing outer ring 234 is movably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 233.

[0053] The outer portion of the bearing inner ring 221 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bearing outer ring 234 .

[0054] By adopting the above technical solution, although the clamping portion 224 can limit the connecting rod 21, there will still be a gap when the hexagonal driving head at one end of the connecting rod 21 is inserted into the inner hexagon of the screw. In order to avoid the torque loss caused by the gap, the outer ring 234 of the bearing and the inner ring 221 of the bearing can be driven to move by rotating the screw 231. When the outer ring 234 of the bearing and the inner ring 221 of the bearing move toward the pedicle screw, the clamping portion 224 inside the inner ring 221 of the bearing limits the connecting rod 21. Therefore, the clamping portion 224 of the inner ring 221 of the bearing will drive the connecting rod 21 to move toward the pedicle screw, so that the hexagonal driving head of the connecting rod 21 can be tightly attached to the inner hexagon of the screw, reducing the distance between the hexagonal driving head of the connecting rod 21 and the inner wall of the hexagonal inner hexagon of the screw, reducing the torque instability caused by dynamic fluctuations caused by the unstable contact between the hexagonal driving head of the connecting rod 21 and the inner wall of the hexagonal inner hexagon of the screw, and avoiding the torque loss caused by the gap. This ensures that each unit of torque can effectively act on the screw, improving the torque transmission efficiency. At the same time, the force can be more evenly distributed over the entire contact area, effectively avoiding the concentration of force at a certain point or a small area, reducing local stress concentration, preventing damage to screws or tools, and making the torque transmission more direct and uniform. Through evenly distributed contact pressure, the torque sensor can more accurately sense the change in each unit of torque and reduce the measurement error caused by uneven force distribution. This helps to improve the stability and accuracy of torque measurement and make the measurement results more reliable.

[0055] like Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a movable groove three 251 is opened on one side of the ring body 235, and the seat body 241 is slidably connected in the movable groove three 251. A screw rod 252 is rotatably connected in the movable groove three 251, and the seat body 241 is screwed on the outside of the screw rod 252. One end of the screw rod 252 passes through the ring body 235 and extends outward.

[0056] A movable groove 2421 is provided inside the clamping portion 242, and a movable portion 248 is movably connected in the movable groove 2421, a guide rod 249 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 2421, and the movable portion 248 is movably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 249, one end of the movable portion 248 passes through the movable groove 2421 and extends outward to form an L-shaped extension end, a spring 3 250 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 249, and both ends of the spring 3 250 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 2421 and the movable portion 248.

[0057] By adopting the above technical scheme, the seat body 241 can be driven to move inside the movable groove 3 251 by rotating the screw rod 252, so that the position of the seat body 241 can be adjusted. When the position of the seat body 241 changes, the position of the clamping part 242 also changes with the movement of the seat body 241. This makes it convenient to adjust the positions of the four clamping parts 242 according to the size of the pedicle screw tail cap, and can adapt to pedicle screw tail caps of different sizes, thereby achieving clamping and centering of pedicle screw tail caps of different sizes. At the same time, the movable part 248 can move inside the clamping part 242, so that the overall length of the clamping part 242 can be adjusted, so that the L-shaped extension end at the bottom of the movable part 248 contacts the lower end of the pedicle screw tail cap, thereby achieving adaptive clamping of pedicle screw tail caps of different lengths, and also improving the stability of the clamping and centering of the pedicle screw tail cap.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Fig.11 As shown, the outer surface of the torque measuring part 12 is connected to a conductive slip ring 14, and the stator part of the conductive slip ring 14 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the torque measuring part 12, the outer surface of the torque measuring part 12 is rotatably connected to a sleeve 15, and the rotor part of the conductive slip ring 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 15, and the outer surface of the sleeve 15 is fixedly connected to a display part 16 linearly connected to the rotor part.

[0059] The torque measuring part 12 is also sleeved with a gripping part 19 on its exterior, and an inserting rod 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the gripping part 19 . A sleeve rod 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the sleeve body 15 , and the inserting rod 18 is movably inserted into the sleeve rod 17 .

[0060] By adopting the above technical solution, in order to facilitate reading the real-time measurement value of the torque, the display part 16 of the present application does not form an integrated design with the torque measuring part 12. By fixing the display part 16 on the outside of the sleeve 15 and realizing the signal transmission between the torque measuring part 12 and the display part 16 through the conductive slip ring 14, in actual use, one hand holds the handle 11 and the other hand grasps the gripping part 19. When the handle 11 is rotated, the handle 11 drives the torque measuring part 12 to rotate inside the gripping part 19. Since the gripping part 19 is connected to the sleeve 15 through the insertion rod 18 and the sleeve rod 17, the sleeve 15 does not rotate like the gripping part 19. In this way, when the torque measuring part 12 is rotated to measure the torque, the display side of the display part 16 can still face the user, and the display part 16 will not rotate with the rotation of the torque measuring part 12, which can facilitate the user to observe the torque measurement value in real time.

[0061] The workflow of the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0062] Place the tail cap of the pedicle screw under the kit 25, rotate the screw rod 252 to drive the seat body 241 to move inside the movable groove 3 251, adjust the positions of the four clamping parts 242 according to the size of the tail cap of the pedicle screw, then grab the movable part 248 by hand, pull the movable part 248 to extend the movable part 248 located inside the clamping part 242 to the outside, so that the overall length of the clamping part 242 becomes longer, and at the same time rotate the clamping part 242, the free end of the clamping part 242 rotates toward the direction of the tail cap, and the L-shaped extension end at the bottom of the movable part 248 contacts the lower end of the tail cap of the pedicle screw. When the four clamping parts 242 complete the above actions in sequence, the clamping and centering of the tail cap of the pedicle screw is completed.

[0063] Then, hold the handle 11 by hand, and use the handle 11 to move the torque measuring part 12 and the driving part 13 toward the tail cap of the pedicle screw. The connecting rod 21 fixed at one end of the driving part 13 passes through the limiting part 22 and is inserted into the tail cap of the pedicle screw. The clamping part 224 of the limiting part 22 will limit the connecting rod 21, so that the connecting rod 21 can only move in one direction toward the pedicle screw. When the hexagonal driving head at one end of the connecting rod 21 is inserted into the inner hexagon of the screw, the screw 231 is rotated to drive the bearing outer ring 234 and the bearing inner ring 221 to move. When the bearing outer ring 2 When the bearing inner ring 221 and the bearing inner ring 221 move toward the pedicle screw, the clamping portion 224 inside the bearing inner ring 221 limits the connecting rod 21, so the clamping portion 224 of the bearing inner ring 221 will drive the connecting rod 21 to move toward the pedicle screw, so that the hexagonal driving head of the connecting rod 21 can fit tightly in the inner hexagon of the screw. Finally, hold the handle 11 with one hand and the grasping portion 19 with the other hand, rotate the handle 11 to drive the connecting rod 21 to rotate through the driving portion 13, and the rotation of the connecting rod 21 drives the pedicle screw to rotate, thereby inserting the pedicle screw into the bone.

[0064] In this process, the torque measuring part 12 can measure the torque generated during the rotation of the pedicle screw, and the measured value is transmitted to the display part 16 through the conductive slip ring 14. Since the gripping part 19 is connected to the sleeve body 15 through the insertion rod 18 and the sleeve rod 17, the sleeve body 15 does not rotate like the gripping part 19. In this way, when the torque measuring part 12 is rotated to measure the torque, the display side of the display part 16 can still face the user, and the display part 16 will not rotate with the torque measuring part 12, which can facilitate the user to observe the torque measurement value in real time.
