Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dental medical devices, in particular to a dental torque-limiting wrench. Background Technique

[0002] In dental treatment, working tips such as ultrasonic osteotomes, ultrasonic scaler, and ultrasonic irrigators are often needed. These working tips need to be screwed onto the handle through threaded connections before they can be normally used by medical staff. As precision instruments, the force applied during the installation of working tips such as ultrasonic osteotomes, ultrasonic scaler, and ultrasonic irrigators needs to be controlled precisely. Excessive torque is likely to damage the working tip or the handle, and it will also affect its own power, resulting in poor treatment effects. Too little torque will cause the working tip to fall off.

[0003] Due to the high installation requirements of the working tip, a special torque-limiting wrench is needed for installation. The existing torque-limiting wrenches generally can only be applicable to working tips of one flat position specification, and the magnitude of the force cannot be adjusted. However, the types of working tips such as ultrasonic osteotomes, ultrasonic scaler, and ultrasonic irrigators are different, and their flat position specifications are also different. The flat position specifications of working tips of different specifications and different brands are also different. The existing torque-limiting wrenches cannot meet the installation needs of different working tips. For this reason, multiple torque-limiting wrenches need to be equipped, which increases the cost. In addition, the existing torque-limiting wrenches cannot adjust the force, and also cannot meet the installation needs of different types of working tips, and it is easy to cause damage to the working tip or the handle.

[0009] As a further technical solution of the utility model, the end of the rotating shaft close to the chuck is sleeved with gasket 1 and gasket 2, wherein gasket 1 is located on the inner side of the sleeve and gasket 2 is located on the inner side of the sleeve; gasket 1 and gasket 2 are both in circular shape.

[0010] As a further technical solution of the utility model, the end of the sleeve away from the chuck is cylindrical, and the outer side of the end close to the chuck is provided with a groove for the normal rotation of the chuck.

[0011] As a further technical solution of the utility model, the push rod includes a center column, which is cylindrical and coaxially arranged with the sleeve; the diameter of the center column is the same as the inner diameter of the sleeve.

[0012] As a further technical solution of the utility model, a top column is provided at one end of the center column close to the rotating shaft, and the end of the top column away from the center column is hemispherical, and the end of the top column away from the center column is in contact with the arc groove.

[0013] As a further technical solution of the utility model, a limiting column is provided at one end of the center column away from the top column, and the center column, the top column and the limiting column are coaxially arranged; the limiting column is located on the inner side of the spring; the diameter of the center column is larger than the diameter of the spring.

[0014] As a further technical solution of the utility model, the force limiting screw comprises a force limiting screw body, which is located inside the sleeve and is coaxially arranged with the sleeve.

[0015] As a further technical solution of the utility model, a second limiting column is provided at one end of the screw body close to the spring. The second limiting column is located on the inner side of the spring, and the diameter of the screw body is greater than the diameter of the spring.

[0016] As a further technical solution of the utility model, a plurality of slots are provided at one end of the screw body away from the spring.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0018] 1. In the present invention, the chuck opening can clamp the flat part of the working tip, and the chuck is provided with a plurality of openings, which can clamp different types of working tips, so that different types of working tips can be installed by using the force limiting wrench, which not only reduces the cost but also prevents the situation of selecting the wrong force limiting wrench due to the excessive number of force limiting wrenches.

[0021] 4. In this utility model, during the process of tightening or loosening the working tip, the medical staff controls the rotation of the sleeve. Since the ejector pin wedges into the arc-shaped groove of the rotating shaft, the sleeve can drive the rotating shaft to rotate synchronously while rotating. When the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the chuck to rotate. During the rotation of the chuck, the working tip is tightened or loosened, achieving the effect of tightening or loosening the working tip; when the torque generated at the chuck and the working tip reaches a certain value, the arc-shaped groove overcomes the friction force of its arc surface and pushes the ejector pin towards the direction of the spring, enabling the rotating shaft and the chuck to rotate relative to the sleeve, generating an idling effect, which can effectively prevent damage to the working tip or the handle.

[0022] 5. In this utility model, the medical staff drives the body of the force-limiting screw to rotate through the slot, causing the body of the force-limiting screw to move in the sleeve, which can change the distance between the body of the force-limiting screw and the central column, thereby adjusting the compression degree of the spring, further changing the magnitude of the elastic force of the spring, and ultimately achieving the purpose of adjusting the squeezing force of the ejector pin on the arc-shaped groove and adjusting the force limit of the force-limiting wrench.

[0039] ​​By adopting the above technical solution, the opening of the chuck 2 can clamp the flat position of the working tip, and the chuck 2 is provided with multiple openings, which can clamp different types of working tips, so that different types of working tips can be installed using the force limiting wrench, which not only reduces the cost but also prevents the situation where the wrong force limiting wrench is selected due to the excessive number of force limiting wrenches.

[0040] In this embodiment, the end of the rotating shaft 3 close to the chuck 2 is sleeved with a gasket 1 7 and a gasket 2 8, wherein the gasket 1 7 is located inside the sleeve 1, and the gasket 2 8 is located inside the sleeve 1; the gasket 1 7 and the gasket 2 8 are both in annular shape;

[0041] The end of the sleeve 1 away from the chuck 2 is cylindrical, and the outer side of the end close to the chuck 2 is provided with a groove for the chuck 2 to rotate normally.

[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, the chuck 2 and the rotating shaft 3 are fixedly connected through the polygonal through groove in the middle of the chuck 2, which can effectively prevent the chuck 2 and the rotating shaft 3 from rotating relative to each other, ensuring that the rotating shaft 3 can normally drive the chuck 2 to rotate without the chuck 2 rotating on its own.

[0043] In this embodiment, the push rod 6 includes a central column 61, which is cylindrical and coaxially arranged with the sleeve 1; the diameter of the central column 61 is the same as the inner diameter of the sleeve 1;

[0044] A top column 62 is provided at one end of the center column 61 close to the rotating shaft 3 . The end of the top column 62 away from the center column 61 is hemispherical, and the end of the top column 62 away from the center column 61 fits with the arc groove 9 .

[0045] By adopting the above technical solution, the force limiting screw body 41 plays the role of supporting the spring 5, so that the spring 5 can normally support the center column 61; the cooperation between the limit column 2 43 and the limit column 1 63 can prevent the spring 5 from excessive bending, and ensure that the elastic force of the spring 5 can be normally applied to the center column 61; under the action of the elastic force of the spring 5, the center column 61 generates a force in the direction of the arc groove 9, so that the top column 62 is wedged into the arc groove 9 and always fits with the arc groove 9.

[0046] In this embodiment, a limiting column 63 is provided at one end of the center column 61 away from the top column 62, and the center column 61, the top column 62 and the limiting column 63 are coaxially arranged; the limiting column 63 is located on the inner side of the spring 5; the diameter of the center column 61 is larger than the diameter of the spring 5;

[0048] The force limiting screw 4 comprises a force limiting screw body 41 . The force limiting screw body 41 is located inside the sleeve 1 and is coaxially arranged with the sleeve 1 .

[0049] By adopting the above technical solution, during the process of tightening or loosening the working tip, the medical staff controls the rotation of the sleeve 1. Because the push column 62 is wedged into the arc groove 9 of the rotating shaft 3, the sleeve 1 can synchronously drive the rotating shaft 3 to rotate while rotating. The rotating shaft 3 drives the chuck 2 to rotate while rotating. The chuck 2 twists the working tip during the rotation process, which can achieve the effect of tightening or loosening the working tip; when the torque generated at the chuck 2 and the working tip reaches a certain value, the arc groove 9 overcomes the friction force of its arc surface and pushes the push column 62 in the direction of the spring 5, so that the rotating shaft 3 and the chuck 2 can rotate relative to the sleeve, resulting in an idling effect, which can effectively prevent the working tip or the handle from being damaged.

[0050] In this embodiment, a second limiting column 43 is provided at one end of the screw body 41 close to the spring 5. The second limiting column 43 is located on the inner side of the spring 5. The diameter of the screw body 41 is greater than the diameter of the spring 5.

[0051] A plurality of slots 42 are disposed on one end of the screw body 41 away from the spring 5 .

[0052] By adopting the above technical solution, medical staff can drive the force limiting screw body 41 to rotate through the slot 42, allowing the force limiting screw body 41 to move in the sleeve 1, and can change the distance between the force limiting screw body 41 and the center column 61, thereby adjusting the compression degree of the spring 5, and then changing the elastic force of the spring 5, and finally achieving the purpose of adjusting the squeezing force of the top column 62 on the arc groove 9, thereby adjusting the force limiting size of the force limiting wrench.

[0053] The working principle of the utility model is that the opening of the chuck 2 can clamp the flat part of the working tip, and the chuck 2 is provided with a plurality of openings, which can clamp different types of working tips, so that different types of working tips can be installed by using the force-limiting wrench, which not only reduces the cost but also prevents the situation that the wrong force-limiting wrench is selected due to the excessive number of force-limiting wrenches.

[0054] The chuck 2 and the rotating shaft 3 are fixedly connected through the polygonal through groove in the middle of the chuck 2, which can effectively prevent the chuck 2 and the rotating shaft 3 from rotating relative to each other, ensuring that the rotating shaft 3 can normally drive the chuck 2 to rotate, and the chuck 2 will not rotate on its own;

[0055] The force-limiting screw body 41 plays a role in supporting the spring 5, so that the spring 5 can normally support the center column 61; the cooperation between the second limiting column 43 and the first limiting column 63 can prevent the spring 5 from being excessively bent, and ensure that the elastic force of the spring 5 can be normally applied to the center column 61; under the action of the elastic force of the spring 5, the center column 61 generates a force in the direction of the arc groove 9, so that the top column 62 is wedged into the arc groove 9 and always fits with the arc groove 9;

[0056] During the process of tightening or loosening the working tip, the medical staff controls the rotation of the sleeve 1. Since the ejector pin 62 is wedged into the arc-shaped groove 9 of the rotating shaft 3, the sleeve 1 can drive the rotating shaft 3 to rotate synchronously while rotating. While the rotating shaft 3 rotates, it drives the chuck 2 to rotate. During the rotation of the chuck 2, the working tip is screwed, and the effect of tightening or loosening the working tip can be achieved; when the torque generated between the chuck 2 and the working tip reaches a certain value, the arc-shaped groove 9 overcomes the friction force of its arc surface and pushes the ejector pin 62 towards the direction of the spring 5, so that the rotating shaft 3 and the chuck 2 can rotate relative to the sleeve, producing an idling effect, which can effectively prevent the working tip or the handle from being damaged;

[0057] The medical staff drives the limiting screw body 41 to rotate through the slot 42, and makes the limiting screw body 41 move in the sleeve 1, which can change the distance between the limiting screw body 41 and the central column 61, so as to adjust the compression degree of the spring 5, and then change the elastic force of the spring 5. Finally, the purpose of adjusting the extrusion force of the ejector pin 62 on the arc-shaped groove 9 is achieved, and the purpose of adjusting the limiting force of the limiting wrench is achieved.

[0058] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described according to the embodiments, not every embodiment only contains an independent technical solution.
