Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to an electric medical orthopedic oscillating saw and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In complex surgical procedures such as fracture fixation, joint replacement, and spinal correction, the accuracy of bone cutting operations is directly related to the success rate of the operation and the quality of the patient's postoperative recovery. Traditional bone cutting tools such as osteotome and wire saws are gradually being replaced by power tools due to problems such as low operating efficiency and rough cutting surfaces. Among them, the orthopedic oscillating saw has become an indispensable and efficient instrument in orthopedic surgery with its unique swinging cutting mechanism. The oscillating saw drives the saw blade in the metal chuck to swing left and right at high frequency through the drive system, and uses the reciprocating motion of the saw teeth to achieve bone tissue cutting. Compared with rotary bone drills, the cutting trajectory of the oscillating saw is more controllable, can form a flat bone section, and has better spatial adaptability in deep surgical fields. Therefore, it is widely used in surgical procedures that require millimeter-level precision, such as acetabuloplasty and laminectomy.

[0003] The mechanical structure of existing orthopedic oscillating saws usually consists of a power module, a transmission mechanism, a handle assembly, and a replaceable saw blade. During operation, the surgeon needs to maintain the stability of the instrument with a specific grip posture and achieve precise cutting by adjusting the vertical angle between the saw blade and the bone surface. International orthopedic instrument standards have established clear specifications for performance parameters such as the cutting efficiency and saw blade rigidity of oscillating saws, but in actual clinical applications, the device still has significant functional limitations. Especially when faced with high-density bone tissue or complex anatomical parts, the defects of existing oscillating saws in terms of dynamic characteristics and ergonomic design are further magnified, directly affecting the surgical safety margin and operational tolerance.

[0004] The existing oscillating saw generates broadband vibrations in the working state, with the main frequency band concentrated in 200-800Hz, which has multiple negative effects: on the one hand, the high-frequency mechanical vibration is transmitted to the operator's hand through the handle, causing muscle fatigue acceleration values ​​generally exceeding 8m / s 2 The safety threshold is exceeded, and prolonged operation can cause occupational injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Furthermore, vibration-induced lateral deviation of the saw blade can reduce cutting path stability. Experimental data shows that when the amplitude exceeds 50μm, the cutting path deviation can reach 0.3-0.5mm, posing a direct threat to procedures requiring submillimeter precision, such as scoliosis correction. Furthermore, the sound pressure level generated by the friction between vibration energy and bone tissue can reach 85-95dB, disrupting communication within the surgical team and potentially causing hearing damage to the patient.

[0005] The dynamic torque generated during the swinging motion of an oscillating saw creates a significant counteracting force. When the saw blade cuts into bone tissue, the shifting bone density gradient triggers asymmetric loading. This creates a dynamic coupling effect between the constant driving force output by the power system and the bone resistance, generating uncontrollable instantaneous torque fluctuations that can easily lead to instrument slippage or cutting angle deviation. In restricted surgical fields, such as anterior spinal surgery, this instability can cause serious complications such as dural sac tears or vertebral artery injury. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the problems in the above-mentioned prior art that high-frequency mechanical vibration is transmitted to the operator's hand through the handle when the oscillating saw is working, long-term operation may cause occupational injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, and the lateral deviation of the saw blade caused by the vibration will reduce the stability of the cutting trajectory; at the same time, uncontrollable instantaneous torque fluctuations will be generated during the swinging process of the oscillating saw, which can easily cause the instrument to slip or the cutting angle to deviate, the present invention provides an electric medical orthopedic oscillating saw and its control method, and the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions.

[0034] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the first embodiment of the present invention, an electric medical orthopedic oscillating saw is provided, including a main body component 10 and a working component 20. The main body component 10 includes a motor compartment 11 and a handle 12 connected to the motor compartment 11, and a vibration sensor module 13 is installed on the motor compartment 11, and a vibration motor 14 is installed at one end of the motor compartment 11; a driving motor is arranged inside the motor compartment 11, and a battery compartment is arranged inside the handle 12, and the battery compartment is fully wrapped. At the same time, the entire oscillating saw can be sterilized with high-temperature and high-pressure steam. At this time, the rechargeable battery should be removed, and the battery compartment cover should be ensured to be closed and locked.

[0037] The working assembly 20 includes a mounting housing 21 and a swinging member 22 disposed within the mounting housing 21. A mounting seat 23 is disposed within the mounting housing 21. A first transmission member 24 is connected to one end of the mounting housing 21, and a saw blade 25 is connected to the first transmission member 24. A second transmission member 26 is connected to the swinging member 22, and a counterweight 27 is connected to the second transmission member 26.

[0038] Among them, the mounting shell 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the motor compartment 11, the swing member 22 is arranged inside the mounting shell 21, and one end of the swing member 22 is connected to the driving motor inside the motor compartment 11, the mounting seat 23 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting shell 21, and the first transmission member 24 and the second transmission member 26 are both rotatably mounted on the mounting seat 23.

[0039] The swing member 22 includes a transmission structure 221 and a first toggle structure 222 connected to the transmission structure 221, with a second toggle structure 223 provided on one side of the first toggle structure 222. The transmission structure 221 includes a transmission shaft 2211 and a first eccentric wheel 2212 fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 2211, with a second eccentric wheel 2213 provided on one side of the first eccentric wheel 2212. The first toggle structure 222 includes a U-shaped lever 2221 and a mating seat 2222 fixedly connected to the U-shaped lever 2221, with a mating groove 2223 defined in the mating seat 2222.

[0040] Among them, the first eccentric wheel 2212 and the second eccentric wheel 2213 have the same shape and size, and both are eccentrically connected to the transmission shaft 2211. At the same time, the first eccentric wheel 2212 and the second eccentric wheel 2213 are deflected 180° relative to each other; the internal structure of the first toggle structure 222 and the second toggle structure 223 are the same, the first eccentric wheel 2212 moves inside the first toggle structure 222, and the second eccentric wheel 2213 moves in coordination inside the second toggle structure 223. When the transmission shaft 2211 drives the first eccentric wheel 2212 and the second eccentric wheel 2213 to rotate, the eccentric setting of the first eccentric wheel 2212 and the second eccentric wheel 2213 causes the first toggle structure 222 and the second toggle structure 223 to perform reciprocating motion in opposite directions.

[0041] The first transmission member 24 includes a fixing base 241 and a fixing slot 242 defined within the fixing base 241 .

The fixing block 244 is provided with a fixing bolt 246 .

[0042] Among them, the internal structure of the first transmission member 24 is the same as the internal structure of the second transmission member 26, and the first transmission member 24 and the second transmission member 26 are both rotatably mounted on the mounting seat 23; the fixing groove 242 and the fixed rack 245 are connected by a snap-fitting manner, and then the fixing block 244 is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 241 by using a threaded connection between the fixing bolt 246 and the fixing seat 241. Since the saw blade 25 is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 241, the saw blade 25 can reciprocate back and forth with the fixing seat 241.

[0043] During use, by installing and fixing the fixing block 244 with the fixing bolt 246, the position of the saw blade 25 and the counterweight 27 can be changed at will to meet the requirements of high-position and low-position cutting. In addition, the counterweight 27 can also be removed. At this time, the oscillating saw is in full-power cutting state and is used in application scenarios where the oscillating saw does not need to be controlled;

[0044] The transmission structure 221 is driven by a driving motor to move, and the first transmission member 24 and the second transmission member 26 are made to swing in opposite directions through the coordinated transmission between the transmission structure 221 and the first toggle structure 222 and the second toggle structure 223. The swinging of the saw blade 25 and the counterweight block 27 in opposite phases can achieve the effect of self-offsetting of the swing torque.
