Therefore, the terms describing the positional relationship in the figures are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1-5 The sheath assembly for the bone milling cutter of this embodiment includes a sheath 100, an inner tube 200, an insert assembly 300, and a drive assembly. The inner tube 200 is used to connect the sheath 100. The inner tube 200 is hollow inside for the tool rod of the bone milling cutter to pass through. The insert assembly 300 is installed between the inner tube 200 and the sheath 100 to limit the circumferential rotation of the sheath 100. The drive assembly is used to drive the insert assembly 300 to slide on the inner tube 200 to form an avoidance space for the circumferential rotation of the sheath 100 so as to disassemble the sheath 100. The drive assembly is installed on the inner tube 200.

[0033] Specifically, the end of the inner tube 200 close to the sheath 100 has an avoidance groove 211 and a clamping groove 212, and the avoidance groove 211 is communicated with the clamping groove 212. Preferably, there are two avoidance grooves 211 and two clamping grooves 212, and the two avoidance grooves 211 are opposite to each other, and the two clamping grooves 212 are opposite to each other. The sheath 100 includes a protective cap 110, a sheath body 120 and a connecting portion 130 connected in sequence. The connecting portion 130 has a buckle 140 adapted to the clamping groove 212 on the side facing the inner tube 200. When the sheath 100 is connected to the inner tube 200, the buckle 140 is clamped in the clamping groove 212. When the sheath 100 needs to be disassembled, the sheath 100 is rotated to make the buckle 140 disengage from the clamping groove 212 and enter the avoidance groove 211, and then slide out from the avoidance groove 211, so that the sheath 100 can be disassembled.

[0034] In order to make the connection between the sheath 100 and the inner tube 200 more stable, an insert assembly 300 is installed between the inner tube 200 and the sheath 100. The insert assembly 300 includes a retaining ring 310 and an insert 320. The insert 320 is slidably arranged in the avoidance groove 211. The length of the insert 320 is less than the length of the avoidance groove 211. When the insert 320 slides to the end of the avoidance groove 211 away from the sheath 100, the insert 320 completely avoids the slot 212, forming an avoidance space for the circumferential rotation of the buckle 140. When the sheath 100 is rotated, the buckle 140 moves circumferentially to disengage from the slot 212 and enter the avoidance groove 211, thereby sliding out of the avoidance groove 211. When the insert 320 slides to the position of the slot 212, the insert 320 can limit the circumferential rotation of the buckle 140, thereby achieving a stable connection between the sheath 100 and the inner tube 200.

[0035] The driving assembly includes a sleeve 410, a spring 420 and a paddle 430. The sleeve 410 is slidably mounted on the inner tube 200. A buckle 411 is provided on the inner wall of one end of the sleeve 410. The retaining ring 310 is located inside the buckle 411 and inside the sleeve 410. The spring 420 is mounted on the inner tube 200 and inside the sleeve 410. A retaining wall 220 is provided on the outer wall of the inner tube 200. A spring installation cavity is formed between the retaining wall 220, the sleeve 410, the retaining ring 310 and the outer wall of the inner tube 200. The spring 420 is located inside the spring installation cavity. The paddle 430 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the other end of the sleeve 410. In order to better drive the sleeve 410 to slide, two paddles 430 are provided, and the positions of the two paddles 430 are opposite.

[0036] When the sheath 100 needs to be removed, the paddle 430 is pulled in the direction away from the sheath 100. The sliding of the paddle 430 drives the sleeve 410 to slide. The sliding of the sleeve 410 drives the insert assembly 300 to slide and compress the spring 420. At this time, the insert 320 slides in the avoidance groove 211 in the direction away from the sheath 100 until the outside of the slot 212 is completely unblocked. The sheath 100 is rotated to make the buckle 140 disengage from the slot 212 and slide out of the avoidance groove 211. The sheath 100 can be removed, the paddle 430 is released, and the insert assembly 300 is reset under the action of the spring 420. Similarly, when the sheath needs to be installed, pull the paddle 430 to make the outside of the slot 212 completely unblocked so that the buckle 140 on the sheath 100 can be inserted into the avoidance groove 211, rotate the sheath 100 to make the buckle 140 stuck in the slot 212, release the paddle 430, and under the action of the spring 420, the insert assembly 300 is reset, and the insert 320 restricts the buckle 140 in the slot 212, thereby achieving a stable connection between the sheath 100 and the inner tube 200.

[0037] The sheath 100 assembly further includes a first shell 510 and a second shell 520. The first shell 510 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sleeve 410 and one end of the inner tube 200. The second shell 520 is sleeved on the first shell 510. The paddle 430 is slidably installed between the first shell 510 and the second shell 520. The first shell 510 and the second shell 520 both have a notch 530 corresponding to the position of the paddle 430. The paddle 430 is located in the notch 530. The second shell 520 has a slide groove 540 for the paddle 430 to slide. Specifically, the outer wall of the inner tube 200 has a first step wall 230 and a second step wall 240. The first step wall 230 is used to limit the excessive sliding of the sleeve 410. The second shell 520 is fixedly installed on the second step wall 240.

The toothed blade 620 is disposed at the distal end of the knife bar 610 and arranged circumferentially along the knife bar 610. The toothed blade 620 corresponds to the position of the sheath 100. Here, the distal end of the knife bar 610 refers to the end away from the hand, and the proximal end refers to the end close to the hand. The knife bar 610 passes through the connecting portion 130 of the sheath 100, and its distal end is located in the protective cap 110, and the position of the toothed blade 620 is opposite to the position of the sheath body 120. The proximal end of the knife bar 610 is connected to an external power mechanism, and the external power mechanism can be, for example, a structure such as a motor that can drive the knife bar to rotate.

[0041] In order to make the knife rod 610 rotate more stably, a bearing sleeve 710 is sleeved on the knife rod 610. The bearing sleeve 710 is located inside the inner tube 200. Two bearings 720 are installed between the bearing sleeve 710 and the knife rod 610. The two bearings 720 are respectively located at opposite ends of the bearing sleeve 710. A bearing stop tube 730 is sleeved on the outer wall of the end of the bearing sleeve 710 close to the sheath 100, and the bearing 720 close to the tooth blade 620 is located inside the bearing stop tube 730.

[0042] A third housing 550 is also installed on the end of the inner tube 200 away from the sheath 100. Specifically, a connection groove 250 is also provided on the outer wall of the inner tube 200. A connection ring 551 is provided on the inner wall of the third housing 550. The connection ring 551 is embedded in the connection groove 250 and sealed with glue.
