[0031] Reference Figure 1-7 A medical high-precision torque joint provided by an embodiment of the utility model includes a bayonet sleeve 1 and a gear shaft 2, a torque limiting component is arranged between the bayonet sleeve 1 and the gear shaft 2; the torque limiting component includes a spring pin 3 and an annular elastic member 4, a transverse groove 5 is provided on the bayonet sleeve 1, an arc groove 6 is provided on the gear shaft 2, the spring pin 3 is located in both the arc groove 6 and the transverse groove 5, and the annular elastic member 4 is sleeved on the outside of the spring pin 3.

[0032] Specifically, during orthopedic surgery, it is necessary to lock the frame in the human body through bone screws, set the bone screws in the position to be tightened, and tighten the bone screws through force-applying components such as screwdrivers to achieve fixation of the prosthesis. This is a prior art and will not be repeated. One of the core innovations of the embodiment of the utility model is that a bayonet sleeve 1 and a gear shaft 2 are provided, and a torque limiting component is provided between the bayonet sleeve 1 and the gear shaft 2. The bayonet sleeve 1 includes a plug-in portion located at the left end and a connecting portion located at the right end, and the connecting portion is a cylindrical structure, the spring pin 3 is an internally hollow round rod structure, the transverse groove 5 is arranged along the length direction of the connecting portion, and the size of the transverse groove 5 is consistent with the size of the spring pin 3. The arc groove 6 is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the gear shaft 2, and the spring pin 3 is located in the arc groove 6 and the transverse groove 5 at the same time. The annular elastic member 4 can be an annular spring-shaped structure, which can be extended and retracted in the radial direction. The effect of such a setting is that when the bone screw is tightened to a certain extent, a larger torque is required to drive the continued rotation and tightening. At this time, the arc groove 6 on the gear shaft 2 will apply force to the spring pin 3 to push the spring pin 3 to move in the direction away from the central axis of the gear shaft 2. At this time, the spring pin 3 applies force from the inside of the annular elastic member 4 to the outside, so that the annular elastic member 4 expands outward, the gear shaft 2 and the spring pin 3 rotate relative to each other, and the torque joint idles inside, thereby achieving the effect of torque limitation.

[0033] Preferably, the spring pin 3, the arc groove 6 and the transverse groove 5 are provided in plurality, and the transverse groove 5 and the spring pin 3 are preferably six, the plurality of arc grooves 6 are arranged in an array on the outer circumferential surface of the gear shaft 2, the six transverse grooves 5 are arranged in an array on the outer circumferential surface of the gear shaft 2, and the six spring pins 3 and the six transverse grooves 5 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, so that the annular elastic member 4 can expand synchronously from multiple positions.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 6-7 As shown, a plurality of avoidance grooves 17 are provided inside the annular elastic member 4, and the annular elastic member 4 is made of elastic material. The avoidance grooves 17 make the annular elastic member 4 have a hollow area. When the inner wall of the annular elastic member 4 is subjected to force, it will avoid into the avoidance grooves 17 to achieve the expansion of the internal space of the annular elastic member 4.

[0035] Furthermore, the number of the annular elastic member 4 is not less than one, that is, the number of the annular elastic member 4 can be adjusted.
