[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and implementation examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0028] Embodiment 1:

[0029] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a tool for modeling an animal skull defect model includes a base plate 1 and a head fixator arranged on the base plate 1. The head of the experimental subject is first fixed on the base plate 1 by the head fixator, and then the skull drill 11 is used to carry out drilling operations.

[0030] It should be noted that the experimental subjects generally include mice, rats, rabbits, etc.; the skull drill 11 includes a drill rig, a drill rod and a drill bit, and the drill bit and the drill rod are detachably connected.

[0031] In the above technical solution, preferably, the rear side of the base plate 1 exceeds the head positioner by at least 10 cm, and the exceeding part is used to place the body of the experimental subject; the lower side of the base plate 1 is provided with anti-slip protrusions 2 to prevent the base plate 1 from sliding on the experimental table.

[0032] The head holder comprises a positioning cover 3, a positioning mold 5 and at least two positioning mechanisms.

[0033] For the positioning cover 3, specifically, the positioning cover 3 is a groove structure without a rear side wall, and a first polished hole 301 is provided in the upper side wall of the positioning cover 3 and penetrates it in the vertical direction, and a guide hole 304 is provided in the side wall of the positioning cover 3 and penetrates it in the vertical direction, and the number of the guide holes 304 is consistent with the number of the positioning mechanisms.

[0034] In this embodiment, exemplarily, the first grinding hole 301 is a round hole, and the first grinding hole 301 is compatible with the drill rig of the skull drill 11, that is, the drill rig of the skull drill 11 can be just inserted into the first grinding hole 301; there are four guide holes 304, two guide holes 304 are located on the front side wall of the positioning cover 3, and two guide holes 304 are located on the rear side wall of the positioning cover 3.

[0035] As for the positioning mold 5, specifically, the positioning mold 5 is an L-shaped plate structure, the upper side surface of the upper side wall of the positioning mold 5 and the front side surface of the front side wall are adapted to the groove of the positioning cover 3, the lower side surface of the upper side wall of the positioning mold 5 and the rear side surface of the front side wall are adapted to the head of the experimental object, and a second polished hole 501 is provided in the upper side wall of the positioning mold 5 and penetrates it in the vertical direction, the positioning mold 5 can be detachably fixed in the groove of the positioning cover 3, and the second polished hole 501 is connected to the first polished hole 301 to form a T-shaped hole.

[0036] In this embodiment, illustratively, the second grinding hole 501 is a round hole, and the second grinding hole 501 is slightly larger than the drill bit of the skull drill 11, that is, the drill bit of the skull drill 11 can pass through the second grinding hole 501 with a margin.

[0037] More specifically, the upper side wall of the positioning cover 3 is provided with a first mounting hole 302 that penetrates it in the vertical direction, and the first mounting hole 302 is a light hole, and the upper side wall of the positioning mold 5 is provided with a second mounting hole 502 that penetrates it in the vertical direction corresponding to the first mounting hole 302 provided on the positioning cover 3, and the second mounting hole 502 is a threaded hole, and also includes a fastening bolt 6, which penetrates the first mounting hole 302 and is threadedly connected to the second mounting hole 502, so that the positioning mold 5 can be detachably fixed in the groove of the positioning cover 3.

[0038] In the above technical scheme, preferably, a water injection channel 504 is provided in the positioning mold 5, which extends from the rear side of its upper side wall to the second polishing hole 501. Cooling liquid (for example, saline) is injected into the second polishing hole 501 through the water injection channel 504, which can not only reduce the temperature and prevent the brain tissue from being damaged due to overheating, but also remove the debris generated during the drilling process in real time to reduce damage to surrounding tissues; the lower side of the upper side wall of the positioning mold 5 and the rear side of the front side wall are provided with a deformable cushion layer (not shown in the figure). Based on the deformation effect of the deformable cushion layer, the positioning mold 5 is more closely fitted to the head of the experimental subject to adapt to the subtle differences in body shape of the same experimental subjects.

[0039] As for the positioning mechanism, specifically, the positioning mechanism includes a guide column 7, a spring 9 and an adjusting nut 8. The guide column 7 is fixed on the base plate 1. The spring 9 and the adjusting nut 8 are sequentially inserted into the guide column 7 from bottom to top, and the adjusting nut 8 is threadedly connected to the guide column 7. The guide holes 304 provided on the positioning cover 3 are inserted one by one into the guide column 7 of each positioning mechanism. The positioning cover 3 is located between the adjusting nut 8 and the spring 9 with its groove facing downward, and the spring 9 is in a compressed state.

[0040] In this embodiment, illustratively, there are four groups of positioning mechanisms.

[0041] In the above technical solution, preferably, anti-slip grooves are provided on the outer side surface of the adjusting nut 8.

[0042] In general, in this modeling tool, on the one hand, the positioning mold 5 can be detachably fixed in the groove of the positioning cover 3, so that the positioning mold 5 can be adapted to the heads of different types of experimental subjects. At the same time, the second polishing hole 501 is connected to the first polishing hole 301 to form a T-shaped hole as an operating channel for the skull drill 11. On the other hand, the positioning cover 3 is set on the base plate 1 in an adjustable lifting manner through a positioning mechanism.

[0043] After combining the above two designs, the modeling tool can quickly press the head of the experimental object against the base plate (press the positioning cover downward until the positioning mold presses the head of the experimental object against the base plate, and then tighten the adjusting nut downward until it is against the positioning cover). It is easy to operate and then carry out the drilling operation. It not only has a good positioning effect and improves the accuracy and stability of the drilling operation, but also the positioning mold can be replaced according to the experimental object (after the positioning mold is replaced according to the experimental object, the skull drill should be re-selected so that the length of its drill rod is suitable for the T-shaped hole formed by the second polished hole 501 and the first polished hole 301), and has a wider range of applications.

[0044] Embodiment 2:

[0045] See also Figure 1 , 5As shown in Figures 5 to 6, as another embodiment, a plurality of pads 10 with different thicknesses are further included, and the pads 10 cannot pass through the T-shaped hole formed by the second grinding hole 501 and the first grinding hole 301, and a through hole 1001 is provided at the center of the pad 10.

[0046] According to the above design, when the pad 10 is placed in the T-shaped hole formed by the second grinding hole 501 and the first grinding hole 301, that is, the pad 10 is placed at the lower end of the first grinding hole 301, the travel of the drill rig of the skull drill 11 in the first grinding hole 301 can be limited, thereby accurately controlling the depth of the drilling hole.

[0047] Specifically, the drill rod of the skull drill 11 is first passed through the through hole 1001 provided on the pad 10, and then the drill bit of the skull drill 11 is installed, and finally the skull drill 11 is inserted along the T-shaped hole formed by the second polishing hole 501 and the first polishing hole 301, so that the drill bit of the skull drill 11 is flush with the lower end of the second polishing hole 501, and the pad 10 is placed at the lower end of the first polishing hole 301. For example, by selecting the model, in the initial state, the drill rig of the skull drill 11 is flush with the upper end of the first polishing hole 301, and the drill bit of the skull drill 11 is flush with the lower end of the second polishing hole 501. At this time, the distance between the drill rig of the skull drill 11 and the lower end of the first polishing hole 301 is H1, the thickness of the pad 10 is H2, and the depth of the drilling is H1-H2.

[0048] In the above technical solution, preferably, a slot 1002 is provided between the circumference of the pad 10 and the through hole 1001 provided at the center thereof, and the width of the slot 1002 is adapted to the drill rod of the skull drill 11. Therefore, even if the drill bit of the skull drill 11 is installed, the drill rod of the skull drill 11 can still be matched with the through hole 1001 provided on the pad 10 through the slot 1002 provided on the pad 10.

[0049] Embodiment 3:

[0051] In this embodiment, illustratively, the first operating hole 303 and the second operating hole 503 are both rectangular holes, and the two are equal in size and flush.

[0052] According to the above design, after the subject's head is pressed against the bottom plate 1, the subject's incisors can be hooked on the hooks provided on the hanger 4 through the first operating hole 303 and the second operating hole 503 by means of an elastic rope to further position the subject's head.

[0053] In the above technical solution, preferably, at least two hooks are provided on the hanger 4, and the hooks are arranged along the vertical direction on the hanger 4, so that the tension of the elastic rope can be adjusted by replacing the hooks.

[0054] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation modes. A person skilled in the art can implement the present invention in various other specific implementation modes based on the contents disclosed in the present invention. Therefore, any design that adopts the design structure and concept of the present invention and makes some simple changes or modifications shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
