Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surgical headrest technology, specifically a stepless adjustable surgical headrest. Background Technology

[0002] In some neurosurgical procedures, there is often a need for stability of the patient's head or neck. Therefore, it is necessary to fix the patient's head with a surgical head frame to ensure stability during the operation.

[0003] Existing Chinese patents, such as the one published in CN213406794U entitled "A Transmissive Medical Surgical Head Frame," include a support, an angle adjustment mechanism, and a clamping mechanism. The support includes two slide rods, two connecting rods respectively sleeved at both ends of the slide rods, and two side rail clamps respectively mounted on the connecting rods. The slide rods are used to connect and move other components, serving as support members for the surgical head frame, thereby ensuring the stability of the surgical head frame.

[0004] In the aforementioned device, the distance between the fixed arm and the adjusting arm is adjusted by pulling a rack. A pin is located below the fixed arm to secure the adjusting arm. When the surgical head frame needs to be fixed to the patient's head, medical staff need to push the adjusting arm to the left to engage the rack on the adjusting arm with the groove inside the fixed arm. This operation is laborious, and if too much force is applied, the distance between the two arms may be smaller than the size of the patient's skull, potentially causing the single-headed pin on the adjusting arm to penetrate the skull to a greater depth, resulting in head injury. Furthermore, to meet fluoroscopic requirements, both the fixed arm and the adjusting arm are made of transparent material. Over time, the teeth may deform or even break due to repeated stretching, leading to a decrease in the accuracy of the surgical head frame and affecting the smooth progress of the surgery. Therefore, we propose a stepless adjustable surgical head frame to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a stepless adjustable surgical head frame, comprising a fixed arm 1 and an adjustable arm 2. One end of the fixed arm 1 is provided with a first support 101, and a double-headed pin 102 is rotatably connected to the end face of the first support 101. One end of the adjustable arm 2 is provided with a second support 201, and a single-headed pin 202 is installed on the outer wall of the second support 201. The fixed arm 1 has a transversely penetrating groove 103 inside, and the other end of the adjustable arm 2... The end is a smooth rod that extends into the interior of the slide groove 103 and is slidably connected to the slide groove 103. Locking mechanisms 5 are installed on both sides of the fixed arm 1 at the end away from the single-headed ejector pin 202. The locking mechanisms 5 pass through the fixed arm 1 and connect to the adjusting arm 2. L-shaped guide grooves 203 are provided on both sides of the adjusting arm 2. The locking mechanism 5 includes a mounting base 501 and a connecting pin 503. The mounting base 501 has a through hole, and the inner wall of the mounting base 501 is spaced apart at one end near the fixed arm 1. A limiting ring 502 is integrally formed with the mounting base 501. A connecting pile 503 is disposed in the through hole of the mounting base 501 and located outside the limiting ring 502. A locking piece 507 extending outward is provided on the outer wall of the end of the connecting pile 503 and is located inside the limiting ring 502. A guide rod 506 is provided at one end of the connecting pile 503 near the locking piece 507 and extends through the fixing arm 1 to the L-shaped guide groove 203. Inside, a limit head 508 is provided on the outer wall of the end of the guide rod 506. A knob seat 504 is installed at the end of the connecting post 503 away from the locking piece 507. A knob handle 505 is installed on the outer end face of the knob seat 504. A spring 509 is provided between the knob seat 504 and the limit ring piece 502, and one end of the spring 509 is fixedly connected to the limit ring piece 502. A support arm 3 is installed on the outer wall of the fixed arm 1. The support arm 3 is connected to the support arm 3 through a ratchet transmission mechanism 4.

[0023] When adjusting the distance between the fixed arm 1 and the adjusting arm 2, the adjusting arm 2 can be pulled directly to slide along the slide groove 103 inside the fixed arm 1, achieving stepless adjustment. The operation is simple and labor-saving. Moreover, the adjusting arm and the fixed arm slide in smooth contact, resulting in less wear and deformation between them, thus extending the service life of the surgical head frame. Once the appropriate distance is reached, first press the knob handle 505 on one side of the locking mechanism 5 and rotate it 90 degrees clockwise. During this process, the guide rod 506 at the end of the connecting post 503 on the inner side of the knob seat 504 extends into the L-shaped guide groove 203 on the side of the adjusting arm 2 and rotates clockwise under the action of rotational force, so that the limiting head 508 at the end of the guide rod 506 is engaged in the bend of the L-shaped guide groove 203. At this time, the spring 509 between the knob seat 504 and the limiting ring 502 causes the limiting head 508 to press tightly against the L-shaped guide groove 203 under the action of elastic force, thereby locking and fixing the adjusting arm 2 and the side wall of the fixed arm 1 through the locking mechanism 5. Then repeat the above operation to lock and fix the adjusting arm 2 and the other side wall of the fixed arm 1. Double locking ensures the stable fixing of the adjusting arm 2 and the fixed arm 1.

[0024] Please see Figure 4 A protrusion 5041 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the knob seat 504, and a limit block 5011 is provided above the outer end face of the mounting seat 501. When the knob seat 504 is rotated clockwise to 90 degrees, the protrusion 5041 can contact the limit block 5011 on the end face of the mounting seat 501, thereby playing a limiting role and preventing the rotation angle from being too large.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 The adjusting arm 2 has a scale line 204 on its outer side wall along its length. When the doctor receives this surgical head frame, he first measures the size of the patient's head, and then adjusts the distance between the fixed arm 1 and the adjusting arm 2 using the scale line 204 to achieve a rough adjustment of the distance between the two. Then, the surgical head frame is placed on the patient's head. One hand holds the fixed arm 1, and the other hand makes a fine adjustment to move the adjusting arm 2 closer to the fixed arm 1 to a suitable distance. The locking mechanism 5 is then used to fix it securely. Next, the single-headed pin 202 and double-headed pin 102 on both sides are adjusted to fix the surgical head frame stably on the patient's head. The scale line 204 makes it easy for the doctor to make a preliminary adjustment of the distance between the adjusting arm and the fixed arm according to the size of the patient's head, avoiding excessive force that could damage the patient's head.

[0026] Furthermore, both the fixed arm 1 and the adjusting arm 2 are made of carbon fiber, and all other components in the locking mechanism 5 except for the spring are also made of carbon fiber. The carbon fiber material allows the surgical head frame, except for the spring, to be fluoroscopically visualized during surgery, resulting in clear images and eliminating the interference of the surgical head frame on the skull.
