Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of test tube production technology, and in particular to a test tube polishing device. Background Technology
[0002] A femoral test condyle is an instrument used in knee surgery to determine femoral positioning. It is a standalone instrument used in conjunction with an osteotomy guide and a femoral drill. The accuracy of intercondylar osteotomy positioning affects the stability of the prosthesis, increasing bone-prosthesis collision and wear. During total joint replacement surgery, a pre-installed femoral test condyle is needed to verify the correctness of the femoral osteotomy position. Currently, test condyles are mostly manufactured using machining methods, with surface roughness controlled by machining precision. However, this process is complex and requires processing from a single piece of material, resulting in high costs. While 3D printing technology has matured, the surface of 3D-printed test condyles often fails to meet usage requirements, necessitating polishing to improve surface roughness. However, the curved surface of the test condyle can only be manually ground and polished, leading to inefficiency and uneven polishing. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0022] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements.

[0023] Refer Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a condyle polishing device includes a condyle placement rack 1, a polishing track 2, and a polishing head 4 that slides on the polishing track 2 through a slider 3. The polishing track 2 is an arc-shaped structure and is correspondingly arranged with the condyle placed on the condyle placement rack 1. One side of the slider 3 close to the polishing head 4 is connected with a screw rod 5, and the polishing head 4 is connected to the corresponding end of the screw rod 5 through a first universal joint 6.
[0024] In this technical solution, the polishing track is an arc-shaped structure and corresponds to the surface curvature of the fixed condyle. During the reciprocating movement of the slider带动 the polishing head along the polishing track, the acting force of the polishing head on the condyle surface is basically kept consistent. When the distance between the condyle surface and the polishing head changes, the installation position of the polishing head can be adjusted through the screw rod, so as to adjust the acting force between the polishing head and the condyle surface and maintain the consistency of the polishing pressure, thereby improving the polishing accuracy. The first universal joint is a conventional universal joint or a spherical connector structure, etc., which can arbitrarily adjust the angle of the polishing head and lock it, improving the fit between the polishing head and the condyle surface. The polishing head is a conventional polishing cloth wheel or high-mesh sandpaper, etc., which is set according to actual use needs; this condyle polishing device has a simple structure, is used for the automatic polishing of condyles, improves the uniformity of polishing, and reduces the working intensity.
[0025] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the test tube placement frame 1 includes a base plate 11, a mounting column 12 perpendicular to the top of the base plate, and several support columns 13 staggered on the mounting column.
[0026] In this technical solution, the mounting column is fixed perpendicularly to the top of the base plate through threaded connection or other means. The base plate provides support for the mounting column to ensure its stability. The support column is set radially along the mounting column and is used to fix the test tube.
[0027] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting post 12 is provided with several threaded through holes (not shown), and the support post 13 is provided with an external thread connected to the threaded through holes at one end near the mounting post 12.
[0028] In this technical solution, the support column can be directly selected from existing studs and other structures, and can be adjusted and set on the mounting column. The installation position of the support column can be adjusted according to the inner surface of the test tube to ensure full contact with the test tube.
[0029] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the end of the support column 13 facing away from the mounting column is connected to an electromagnet (not shown) via a second universal joint.
[0030] In this technical solution, a conventional electromagnet can be used, and the material of the test tube is 17-4PH stainless steel, namely martensitic precipitation hardening stainless steel, which is magnetic. When the electromagnet is energized, it can firmly hold the test tube, and when the electromagnet is de-energized, the test tube can be freely removed / moved.
[0031] For example, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner and outer sides of the polishing track 2 are respectively provided with an inner arc groove and an outer arc groove. A rack 7 is provided in the outer arc groove. The bottom surface of the slider 3 is respectively provided with a gear 8 that meshes with the rack 7 and a roller 9 that rolls in the inner arc groove.
[0032] In this technical solution, the polishing track is fixed to a conventional worktable by bolts, etc. The worktable has a notch aligned with the inner wall of the polishing track. Bolts pass through the bottom of the worktable and connect to the bottom of the polishing track, thus fixing the polishing track. The test piece placed on the test piece placement frame is within the notch area, and its surface curvature corresponds to the polishing track. The test piece placement frame or worktable can be set on an existing lifting platform, meaning the test piece and polishing head can move relative to each other along the axial direction of the mounting column, or the test piece can be manually adjusted to fix its axial position on the mounting column. Conventional stop pins or dampers are provided at both ends of the polishing track to prevent the slider from falling off the polishing track. The rack is composed of multiple arc-shaped small racks spliced together and fixed in the outer arc groove by conventional bolts, etc. The gear includes a wheel frame with an I-beam structure and several The rollers, rotatably mounted on the wheel frame, allow the gears to automatically adjust their force, improving transmission accuracy and reducing noise during transmission. The two ends of the I-beam wheel are equipped with end plates encapsulating the rollers. The wavy tooth surface of the rack matches the movement trajectory of the gear and rollers, enabling precise transmission with zero backlash and ultra-low error. This eliminates the backlash between the gear and rack. The end plates are made of self-lubricating nylon and slide against the inner wall of the outer arc groove, improving the fit between the slider and the polishing track and preventing polishing head jump caused by gaps. The rollers use conventional roller bearings and are connected to the slider via threaded connections. The rollers are actively engaged in the inner arc groove. To improve the fit between the rollers and the inner arc groove, the rollers are equipped with V-grooves, and a boss is provided within the inner arc groove to engage with the V-grooves.
[0033] For example, see Figure 4 As shown, the top surface of the slider 3 is provided with a servo motor 81 that is connected to the gear 8.
[0034] In this technical solution, the servo motor is fixed to the slider by bolts and passes through the slider. Its output shaft is connected to the gear by conventional tensioning sleeves. By rotating the servo motor forward and backward, the gear is driven to rotate forward and backward, which in turn drives the polishing head to move back and forth along the rack, thereby achieving automatic polishing.
[0035] For example, see Figure 4 As shown, a connecting sleeve 31 is provided on the side of the slider 3 near the polishing head 4, and a threaded blind hole corresponding to the screw 5 is provided at the end of the connecting sleeve 31 near the polishing head 4.
[0036] In this technical solution, the connecting sleeve is fixed to the side of the slider by means of threaded connection, etc. The screw is a double-headed bolt structure, with one end connected to the threaded blind hole and the other end connected to the first universal joint, which is used to adjust the installation position of the polishing head. A self-locking nut is provided on the screw to prevent the screw from shifting due to vibration, etc.
[0037] In summary, this test tube polishing device has a simple structure and is used for automated polishing of test tubes, improving polishing uniformity and reducing workload.
