[0035] The long communication cable attached to the rear of the handle accessory significantly restricts the surgeon's ability to adjust the position or orientation of the instrument or handle during surgery. The bulky and excessively long cable not only increases the difficulty of operation but may also affect the precision and efficiency of the surgery; furthermore, in emergency situations such as power outages, surgery may be impossible to complete.

[0036] This utility model proposes a surgical power device.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the surgical power device 100 includes:

[0038] The portable host 1 includes a control module 11 and a first energy storage module 13, wherein the control module 11 is electrically connected to the first energy storage module 13.

[0039] Foot pedal controller 2 is wirelessly connected to control module 11; and

[0040] The power handle 3 is wirelessly connected to the control module 11 and electrically connected to the first energy storage module 13.

[0041] In this invention, both the foot pedal controller 2 and the power handle 3 are wirelessly connected to the control module 11 within the portable host unit 1. This eliminates the need for a wired connection between the foot pedal controller 2 and the portable host unit 1, reducing the risk of cable entanglement and tripping hazards in the operating room. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for a bulky communication cable between the power handle 3 and the portable host unit 1, allowing surgeons greater freedom of movement during surgery, thus improving flexibility and convenience. Moreover, when operations such as power on / off, speed adjustment, or gear shifting are required, simply stepping on the foot pedal controller 2 wirelessly transmits the action signal to the control module 11 on the portable host unit 1. The control module 11 receives the signal and converts it into a control signal for the power handle 3, thereby adjusting the parameters of the blades on the power handle 3. In addition, a first power storage module 13 is provided inside the portable host 1. The first power storage module 13 reduces the device's dependence on external power supply, eliminating the need for an external power supply line and greatly improving the convenience of outdoor surgery. This allows surgery to be performed even in outdoor environments without a stable power supply, thereby increasing the flexibility and convenience of the surgery.

[0042] Specifically, the method of wireless communication connection is not specifically limited. For example, it can be achieved through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or radio frequency (RF). Depending on the selected wireless communication protocol (such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, RF, etc.), a corresponding wireless communication module needs to be integrated. This can be an integrated circuit (IC) or module located inside the portable host 1, responsible for sending and receiving wireless signals. Correspondingly, a microprocessor and interface circuit can also be included within the portable host 1. The interface circuit can be a serial communication interface (such as UART, SPI, I2C, etc.), through which the wireless communication module and microcontroller can be connected, allowing the microcontroller and wireless communication module to work together to process communication data from the wireless communication module. Furthermore, the use of the foot pedal controller 2 in this solution allows the doctor to control the surgical power device 100 through foot movements, allowing the hands to focus on surgical operations and simplifying the surgical procedure. The first power storage module 13 can be a rechargeable battery or dry cell battery, etc., which, through electrical connection with the control module 11, provides a stable power supply to the portable host 1, ensuring normal operation of the device even in the event of a power outage or outdoor emergency.

[0043] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 2 The portable host 1 includes a housing 12, with a cavity formed inside the housing 12. The control module 11 and the first energy storage module 13 are both located inside the cavity. The outer side of the housing 12 forms a grip cavity with a handle 122, and the handle 122 is arranged through the length of the grip cavity.

[0044] Specifically, the portable main unit 1 includes a housing 12, the interior of which forms a cavity that effectively protects the internal control module 11 and the first energy storage module 13 from external environmental factors such as dust, humidity, and accidental impacts, improving the durability and reliability of the device. Optionally, the housing 12 may also have heat dissipation holes, and the cavity may contain heat sinks or cooling fans to help dissipate heat from the control module 11 and the first energy storage module 13, preventing overheating and improving device stability. Furthermore, the exterior of the housing 12 may have a recess to form a grip cavity, and a handle 122 may be inserted through the grip cavity. Users can move the portable main unit 1 to the desired position by gripping the handle 122, improving the ease of use of the device.

[0045] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 2The portable main unit 1 also includes a mounting bracket 14, which is located within the cavity. Both the first energy storage module 13 and the control module 11 are mounted on the mounting bracket 14. The mounting bracket 14 may have two separate mounting grooves or other positioning structures for respectively fixing the first energy storage module 13 and the control module 11, providing additional protection and reducing damage to the circuit modules caused by external impacts. The mounting bracket 14 not only ensures the correct installation position of the components but also optimizes the internal space of the cavity, improving space utilization.

[0046] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 2 The portable host 1 also includes a main display screen 121, which is mounted on the housing 12 and connected to the control module 11. The main display screen 121 can be an LCD screen or an LED screen, etc. Through the connection between the main display screen 121 and the control module 11, it can display the real-time working status of the power handle 3, the operating instructions for the portable host 1, or warning messages, helping users quickly understand the equipment's operating status and respond promptly. The first power storage module 13 provides power to the main display screen 121 for real-time display of the surgical procedure's status. Through the main display screen 121, users can interact with the control module 11, such as adjusting the blade's speed, gear, or direction, viewing historical work data, and performing specific memory operations.

[0047] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 3 An auxiliary display screen 321 is provided on the power handle 3, located at the tail end of the power handle 3. The content displayed on the auxiliary display screen 321 is all or part of the content displayed on the main display screen 121. The auxiliary display screen 321 can be an LCD screen or an LED screen, etc. By placing the auxiliary display screen 321 at the tail end of the power handle 3, the user can view key parameter information at any time while operating the handle, without having to frequently turn their head to look at the main display screen 121 of the portable host 1, thus improving the convenience of operation. The auxiliary display screen 321 can also be a touch screen, allowing the user to directly adjust the working status of the power handle 3 by touching the auxiliary display screen 321. The auxiliary display screen 321 can display only the key information on the main display screen 121, such as the tool's rotation speed, gear position, or direction, or it can display all the information displayed on the main display screen 121, providing the user with dual information confirmation to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the operating data. Of course, in some situations, both the auxiliary display screen 321 and the main display screen 121 can be turned off independently to save energy, especially in the event of a power outage or outdoor emergency.

[0048] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 3 The power handle 3 includes:

[0049] The shank body 31 has a head end for mounting a compatible cutting tool; and

[0050] The connector 32 is detachably connected to the tail end of the handle 31, and the auxiliary display screen 321 is provided on the connector 32.

[0051] Specifically, the power handle 3 adopts a segmented design. A compatible cutting tool is mounted at the head end of the handle 31. The tool and handle 31 can be fixedly connected by riveting or welding, or detachably connected by snap-fit ​​or screw-fit. This detachable connection allows users to quickly change tools, simplifying maintenance and replacement processes. A connector 32 is connected to the tail end of the handle 31. The connector 32 can be a power connector structure, and an auxiliary display screen 321 is provided on its surface. This allows the operator to directly view relevant information on the power handle 3 when changing tools or performing other operations, enhancing the intuitiveness of operation. The detachable connector 32 allows for replacement of the connector 32 section alone in case of malfunction, without having to replace the entire power handle 3.

[0052] In this embodiment of the invention, the connector 32 is internally equipped with a first communication module, which is wirelessly connected to the control module 11, for example, by establishing a wireless communication protocol such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or RF. The inclusion of the first communication module within the connector 32 helps reduce interference during wireless signal transmission. The direct wireless connection between the first communication module and the control module 11 allows the power handle 3 to be used over a wider range, without being limited by cable length.

[0053] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 1 The surgical power unit 100 also includes a power supply line 4, with its two ends electrically connected to the connector 32 and the first power storage module 13, respectively, to provide a stable power supply to the connector 32 and ensure the continuous and stable operation of the power handle 3 during surgery. Since the power supply line 4 is only used for power supply, it can be made thin and lightweight, and compared to bulky communication lines, it does not impose additional restrictions on the operation of the power handle 3. This allows the surgeon to move the power handle 3 more freely during surgery, improving the flexibility and convenience of the procedure.

[0054] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 4 The foot pedal controller 2 includes:

[0055] Base 21;

[0056] Foot pedal 22, mounted on base 21; and

[0057] The second communication module 23 is mounted on the base 21 and is used to send operation commands to the second communication module 23 when the pedal 22 is stepped on.

[0058] Specifically, a second communication module 23 is installed inside the base 21. The pedal 22 only connects to the second communication module 23 when it is stepped on, enabling real-time transmission of user operation commands. Multiple contact terminals can be spaced at intervals on the side of the pedal 22 facing the second communication module 23. By individually connecting each contact terminal to multiple electrical connection points on the second communication module 23, electrical communication between the pedal 22 and the second communication module 23 is ensured, effectively preventing incorrect pedal stepping. It should be noted that a foot groove can also be provided on the upper surface of the pedal 22. The shape of the foot groove is similar to the shape of a foot, allowing the user to easily find the correct stepping position. Furthermore, a protective cover can be provided above the foot groove. The user needs to extend their foot into the protective cover and place it in the foot groove position before stepping on the pedal 22 to connect the contact terminals on the pedal 22 to the second communication module 23. That is, the second communication module 23 transmits signals, and the first communication module on the power handle 3 receives the signals.

[0059] It is worth mentioning that the second communication module 23 can directly communicate wirelessly with the first communication module, meaning that the adjustment of parameters on the power handle 3 can be directly controlled by operating the foot pedal controller 2. Alternatively, the second communication module 23 can first wirelessly connect with the control module 11, and then the control module 11 can establish a communication connection with the first communication module. This means that after the operation information is transmitted to the portable host unit 1 by operating the foot pedal controller 2, the portable host unit 1 can then control the power handle 3 to turn on and off, and adjust its parameters. Both communication connection methods can achieve the adjustment of tool parameters on the power handle 3, and the specific adjustment can be made according to user needs.

[0060] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 4 The foot controller 2 also includes a second power storage module 24, which is located inside the base 21 and electrically connected to the second communication module 23. The second power storage module 24 can be a rechargeable battery or a dry cell battery, enabling the foot controller 2 to have self-powered capabilities and reducing dependence on external power sources. Furthermore, due to the built-in power storage module, the foot controller 2 does not require an external power cord, making it easy to move and carry in different locations such as operating rooms or outdoors.

[0061] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
