[0002] Internal sternal fixation is a surgical treatment for sternal fractures. It involves placing metal fixation devices such as plates, screws, or wires onto the fractured sternum to stabilize the fracture ends and promote healing. However, commercially available bone drills for drilling are generally not designed to prevent dislodgement, and the limited operating space within the chest cavity makes it difficult for surgeons to support and restrain the screws at the tip, potentially leading to the screws falling into the patient's chest cavity and causing accidental injury. Therefore, we have developed a bone drill to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a bone drill, including an operating component 1, a driving component, an anti-dislodgement component 4, and a bone drill screw 6.

[0029] The operating component 1 includes an operating housing 11. A worm gear 13 and a drive shaft 14 are rotatably connected inside the operating housing 11. A worm wheel 15 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 14, and the worm wheel 15 meshes with the worm gear 13. The transmission method using the worm wheel 15 and the worm gear 13 has a certain degree of self-locking. A workpiece, such as a drill bit or a screwdriver, is installed on the drive shaft 14. The drill bit and the screwdriver need to be installed on the drive shaft 14 in a transmission-enabled manner, that is, the drive shaft 14 can synchronously drive the drill bit or the screwdriver to rotate when rotating. When installing the drill bit, drilling can be performed. When installing the screwdriver, the bone drill screw 6 can be rotated and installed.

[0030] The driving components include a handheld component 2, a linkage component 3, and a driving component 5. The handheld component 2 is detachably mounted on the operating component 1. The driving component 5 drives the worm gear 13 to rotate through the handheld component 2 and the linkage component 3, thereby enabling the workpiece to complete the rotation operation.

[0031] The handheld component 2 includes a handle housing 21, one end of which is fixedly connected to a connecting screw tube 22. A threaded sleeve 12 is fixedly connected to the operating housing 11, and the connecting screw tube 22 is threaded into the threaded sleeve 12. The handle housing 21 and the operating housing 11 are detachable, which facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the internal structure of the operating housing 11 and the handle housing 21. A coupling 23 is installed inside the handle housing 21, and a drive shaft 24 is rotatably connected inside the coupling 23. An opening is designed at the end of the handle housing 21 away from the operating housing 11.

[0032] The linkage assembly 3 includes an adapter 31, with a worm gear connector 32 and a transmission rod connector 33 installed at both ends of the adapter 31. One end of the worm 13 is inserted into the transmission rod connector 33, and one end of the worm gear connector 32 is inserted into the transmission shaft 24. The connection between the worm 13 and the transmission rod connector 33 and the connection between the transmission shaft 24 and the worm gear connector 32 are both keyway and key block connections. That is, when the transmission shaft 24 rotates, it can drive the worm gear connector 32 to rotate, and the adapter 31 and the transmission rod connector 33 synchronously drive the worm 13 to rotate, thus completing the mechanical transmission.

[0033] The drive assembly 5 includes a handle wheel 51, a linkage rod 52 is fixedly connected to the handle wheel 51, and a connector groove 53 is provided in the linkage rod 52. The end of the linkage rod 52 away from the handle wheel 51 passes through the opening and is sleeved on the drive shaft 24 through the connector groove 53. The handle wheel 51 can drive the drive shaft 24 to rotate through the linkage rod 52, thereby completing the drive rotation of the drive shaft 24.

[0034] The anti-detachment component 4 includes a mounting base 41, on which a mounting groove 42 is provided, and the mounting base 41 is mounted on the operating housing 11 through the mounting groove 42. A sliding groove 43 is provided on the mounting base 41, and a push-pull block 44 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 43. A connecting plate 45 is fixedly connected to the push-pull block 44.

A limit rod 46 is fixedly connected in the sliding groove 43, and the connecting plate 45 is located below the limit rod 46.

[0035] When it is necessary to prevent the bone drill screw 6 from coming off, the push-pull block 44 can slide in the slide groove 43 and move the bent part of the connecting plate 45 to the drive shaft 14. This prevents the bone drill screw 6 from coming off when the anti-loosening groove 47 is installed. When drilling, the push-pull block 44 moves the connecting plate 45 away from the drive shaft 14, so as not to obstruct the drilling.

[0036] The threaded end of the bone drill screw 6 matches the anti-loosening groove 47.
