Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an electric screwdriver for dental implant restoration, belonging to the field of medical device technology. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of dental implant technology, dentists need to use specialized screwdrivers to tighten or loosen implant restoration screws (including healing abutments, cover screws, restoration abutments, composite abutments, protective caps, etc.) in either the forward or reverse direction to facilitate a smooth implant surgery and achieve the desired implant results.
[0003] However, existing screwdrivers for dental implant restorations generally use a design where the threaded rod is inserted and removed from the screwdriver head. Tightening or loosening is done manually, and only a single type of threaded rod can be used. Changing the screw is inconvenient, and it is difficult to observe the tightening process inside the oral cavity. After tightening, the screwdriver needs to be removed and observed through a mouth mirror. This process needs to be repeated until the screw is tightened properly, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and reduces work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] Reference Figures 1-3 An electric screwdriver for dental implant restoration includes a rotating blade compartment 1 and a handle 2. The rotating blade compartment 1 is connected to one end of the handle 2 via an integrally formed slender connecting rod 11. An adapter 3 is rotated on one side of the rotating blade compartment 1 for detachably connecting a screwdriver head 4. A transmission gear 5 located inside the rotating blade compartment 1 is installed on the adapter 3. A drive motor 6 is slidably mounted inside the rotating blade compartment 1. At least two drive gears 7 with different numbers of teeth are provided on the output shaft of the drive motor 6. Any drive gear 7 can be meshed with the drive motor 6 through the sliding motion. The drive gears 7 with different numbers of teeth can achieve different output torque ratios when meshing with the transmission gear 5 and the drive gear 7, thereby meeting the needs of various tightening torques. At the same time, the tightening of the screwdriver head 4 is driven by the drive motor 6, eliminating the need for manual tightening and ensuring stable and controllable tightening torque, which greatly improves implantation efficiency. In this embodiment, three drive gears 7 are preferably installed, which can achieve three torque adjustments. Both the drive gears 7 and the transmission gears 5 are bevel gears, and when adjusted in the same direction, the torque gradually increases or decreases, making it easier for the operator to quickly adjust to the required torque.
[0032] Furthermore, the adapter 3 has a plug groove 31, and the screwdriver head 4 has a connector 41 that is connected to the plug groove 31 through transition or interference fit, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the screwdriver head 4 and the adapter 3, which facilitates the replacement of the screwdriver head 4. This allows the same electric screwdriver to be compatible with multiple screwdriver heads 4, and also facilitates the replacement of damaged screwdriver heads 4, reducing replacement costs.
[0033] Furthermore, the drive gear 7 has a toothless portion 71 and a toothed portion 72. When the transmission gear 5 meshes with the toothed portion 72, it achieves a constant torque rotation, which in turn drives the screwdriver head 4 fixedly connected to the adapter 3 to rotate, thereby tightening the implant. When it rotates to the toothless portion 71, it slips out. At this point, even if the drive gear 7 continues to rotate, the transmission gear 5, the adapter 3, and the screwdriver head 4 will not continue to rotate, which can avoid over-rotation of the implant. When tightening again, the surgeon only needs to tighten the adapter 3 and the transmission gear 5 into place.
[0034] Reference Figures 1-5 A button plate 8 is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the handle 2. A drive mechanism 9 is provided inside the handle 2 to cooperate with the button plate 8 to control the positioning and sliding of the drive motor 6. A control button 81 electrically connected to the drive motor 6 is provided on the side wall of the handle 2 to control the start and stop of the drive motor 6. A battery 18 is installed inside the handle 2 to power the electrical components inside the electric screwdriver.
[0035] Furthermore, the drive mechanism 9 includes a slide 91 and a limiting component 92. The slide 91 is slidably installed inside the handle 2 and one end of the slide 91 extends through the connecting rod 11 into the cutter head chamber 1. The drive motor 6 is detachably connected to the slide 91 by bolts. The limiting component 92 is installed on the button plate 8. The handle 2 has limiting holes 211 that cooperate with the limiting component 92 to fix the button plate 8 at a fixed point. The number of limiting holes 211 corresponds to the number of drive gears 7. One end of the slide 91 located inside the handle 2 is fixedly connected to the button plate 8.
[0036] Specifically, the limiting component 92 includes a limiting protrusion 921 and an elastic element 922. A sliding groove 21 for sliding the button plate 8 is provided on the outer wall of the handle 2. At least one limiting protrusion 921 is provided and slides on the side wall of the button plate 8 in a direction close to or away from the inner wall of the sliding groove 21. The end of the limiting protrusion 921 facing the inner wall of the sliding groove 21 is hemispherical. A limiting hole 211 is provided on the inner wall of the sliding groove 21 and is engaged and adapted with the hemispherical head end of the limiting protrusion 921. The end of the limiting protrusion 921 away from the inner wall of the sliding groove 21 is connected to the inner wall of the button plate 8 through the elastic element 922. When the operator uses the device, they push the button plate 8 with force. As the button plate 8 moves, the hemispherical head of the limiting protrusion 921 tends to move forward. However, due to the restriction of the inner wall of the limiting hole 211, the limiting protrusion 921 converts its forward movement into a linear movement away from the inner wall of the sliding groove 21 and slides out of the limiting hole 211. At this time, the elastic element 922 is compressed and gains elastic potential energy. When the limiting protrusion 921 moves to the next limiting hole 211 and corresponds to it, the elastic element 922 releases its elastic potential energy to push the limiting protrusion 921 out, so that the hemispherical head of the limiting protrusion 921 extends into the corresponding limiting hole 211, thus achieving the limiting. In this embodiment, the elastic element 922 is a spring, and a limiting protrusion 921 is provided on each of the two opposite side walls of the button plate 8.
[0037] Reference Figures 1-3 An observation lens 13 is rotatably mounted in the cutter head chamber 1 at one end away from the handle 2 along the circumference of the cutter head chamber 1. The observation lens 13 can extend into the cutter head chamber 1. A power component 14 is installed in the cutter head chamber 1 to drive the observation lens 13 to rotate and extend. In this embodiment, the observation lens 13 is preferably a magnifying glass.
[0038] The power assembly 14 includes a mounting base 141, a transmission wheel 142, a transmission belt 143, a micro motor 144, and a micro electric cylinder 145. The cutter head rotating chamber 1 has a mirror chamber 12. The transmission belt 143 is driven to rotate on the inner wall of the mirror chamber 12 by the micro motor 144 installed in the mirror chamber 12. The mounting base 141 is slidably disposed in the mirror chamber 12. At least two transmission wheels 142 are symmetrically arranged and are disposed on the outer walls of the mounting base 141 on two opposite sides. One of the transmission wheels 142 is poweredly connected to the transmission belt 143 so as to drive the mounting base 141 to slide by rotation. The mounting base 141 has a telescopic groove 1411. At least one micro electric cylinder 145 is provided in the telescopic groove 1411. The observation mirror 13 is driven to slide in the telescopic groove 1411 by the micro electric cylinder 145. In this embodiment, the transmission wheel 142 is a gear and the transmission belt 143 is a toothed belt. During the planting process, if it is necessary to observe the setting status, the operator can control the observation mirror 13 to extend out of the blade rotating chamber 1, so that there is no need to take out the external mirror body for observation. At the same time, the operator can also observe the setting status from multiple angles by moving the observation mirror 13 along the axis of the blade rotating chamber 1.
[0039] Furthermore, the button panel 8 is also equipped with a telescopic button 82 and a sliding button 83. The telescopic button 82 is electrically connected to the miniature electric cylinder 145, and the sliding button 83 is electrically connected to the miniature motor 144. The miniature motor 144 is a bidirectional drive motor, which allows the operator to control the extension and movement of the observation mirror 13 at any time according to the observation needs.
[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The handle 2 is equipped with a control circuit board 15. The control circuit board 15 is electrically connected to the control button 81 and the drive motor 6, the telescopic button 82 and the micro electric cylinder 145, and the sliding button 83 and the micro motor 144. In this embodiment, the application of the control circuit board 15 is the prior art and will not be described in detail.
[0041] Furthermore, the end of the handle 2 away from the blade head chamber 1 is provided with a charging interface 16 that is electrically connected to the battery 18. The battery 18 can be a lithium battery 18 that can be charged. Multiple lights 17 are installed on the outer wall of the blade head chamber 1 on the side with the adapter 3. A light control button 84 that is electrically connected to the light 17 is installed on the button panel 8 to provide the operator with a brighter and clearer vision. The light 17 and the light button are also electrically connected through the control circuit board 15.
[0042] The working principle of the electric screwdriver for dental implant restoration of the present invention is as follows:
[0043] Before setting the dental implant, the surgeon selects a suitable threading tip and installs it on the adapter 3. After installation, the surgeon determines the required torque and then moves the corresponding torque drive gear 7 to mesh with the transmission gear 5 via the button plate 8. After adjustment, the surgeon inserts the tip rotating chamber 1 into the patient's mouth and aligns the threading tip with the dental implant. Once aligned, the surgeon starts the drive motor 6 via the control button 81 to automatically set the dental implant. During the setting process, the surgeon can also quickly and easily activate the observation mirror 13 and the lighting lamp 17 to observe the setting process and better complete the dental implant setting.
[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any form or substance. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and additions without departing from the present invention, and these improvements and additions should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
