Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a segmented extension rod structure for orthopedic drill bits. Background Technology

[0002] Orthopedic drills are core tools used for cutting and drilling bone tissue in orthopedic surgery. Traditional orthopedic drills are usually one-piece rod structures, and their length cannot be adjusted during surgery. Therefore, a large number of instruments of various sizes are usually prepared, which undoubtedly increases the complexity and cost of surgical preparation. In deep surgery, the overall rigidity of the long rod decreases, which can easily lead to drill deviation. The short rod cannot reach deep tissues. When drilling at multiple angles in complex anatomical locations, the fixed design requires frequent changes of approach, which prolongs the operation time.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a segmented extension rod structure for orthopedic drill bits to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The orthopedic drill bit segmented extension rod structure shown includes a connecting rod assembly 2 installed at the tail of the drill head 1, an extension shank assembly 3 installed inside the connecting rod assembly 2, and the extension shank assembly 3 moving within the connecting rod assembly 2;

[0028] Specifically, the bottom of the connecting rod assembly 2 is threadedly connected to the tail of the drill head 1;

[0029] Specifically, the connecting rod assembly 2 is hollow inside, and a fastening connector 21 is provided at the top. The bottom of the extension handle assembly 3 is inserted into the connecting rod assembly 2, and a locking cap 31 is provided on its outside to cooperate with the fastening connector 21 to fix the moving length of the extension handle assembly 3. The extension handle assembly 3 and the connecting rod assembly 2 are connected by threads.

[0030] In this embodiment, the threaded connector 22 at the bottom of the connecting rod assembly 2 is screwed into the threaded connection groove 11 at the tail of the drill head 1 to ensure a tight connection between the two. The threaded connection design ensures the stability of the drill head 1 and the connecting rod assembly 2, preventing loosening during surgery.

[0031] Reference Figure 2-5 The connecting rod assembly 2 has a threaded connector 22 extending from its bottom. The drill head 1 has a matching threaded groove 11 at its tail. The connecting rod assembly 2 also includes a connecting rod 23. A fastening connector 21 is located on its top. The fastening connector 21 has a moving hole 24 in the middle that connects to the inside of the connecting rod 23. The inner wall of the moving hole 24 is threaded. The outer wall of the fastening connector 21 has multiple evenly spaced fastening grooves 25. The fastening grooves 25 cooperate with the locking cap 31. A magnetic seat 26 is also provided at the bottom of the outer side of the fastening connector 21. The moving hole 24 has the same size as the bottom of the extension handle assembly 3.

[0032] Specifically, the extension handle assembly 3 includes an extension rod 32, an extension handle 33 vertically fixed to the top of the extension rod 32, a locking cap 31 installed on the outside of the extension rod 32, four evenly spaced positioning grooves 34 on the outer wall of the extension rod 32, and threads on the outer wall of the extension rod 32 that avoid the positioning grooves 34. The locking cap 31 has a through hole 35 in the middle that matches the extension rod 32, a positioning block 36 on the inner wall of the through hole 35 that matches the positioning groove 34, a fastening strip 37 on the inner bottom of the locking cap 31 that matches the fastening groove 25, and a magnetic head 38 at the bottom of the locking cap 31 that matches the magnetic base 26. The size of the locking cap 31 matches the fastening connector 21, and the overall cross-sectional size does not exceed the cross-sectional size of the connecting rod 23.

[0033] In this embodiment, the bottom of the extension rod 32 is inserted into the movable hole 24 of the connecting rod 23, and the extension handle assembly 3 is telescopically adjusted by rotating the thread (the outer thread of the extension rod 32 matches the inner thread of the movable hole 24). The limiting ring 39 at the bottom of the extension rod 32 prevents it from completely disengaging from the connecting rod 23, ensuring operational safety.

[0034] Specifically, the extension rod 32 is provided with a limiting ring 39 at the bottom. The limiting ring 39 is placed inside the connecting rod 23 and restricts the extension rod 32 from moving to the outside of the connecting rod 23. The positioning groove 34 is vertically arranged on the outer wall of the extension rod 32 and its length is consistent with the thread height of the outer wall of the extension rod 32. The thread on the outer wall of the extension rod 32 matches the thread on the inner wall of the moving hole 24.

[0035] Specifically, the outer wall of the locking cap 31 is also provided with multiple anti-slip grooves 310, which are arranged vertically and evenly.

[0036] In this embodiment, the locking cap 31 is rotated so that the positioning block 36 in its through hole 35 is aligned with the positioning groove 34 of the extension rod 32, ensuring that the linear movement of the extension rod 32 is without deviation. After the extension handle assembly 3 is adjusted to the required length, the locking cap 31 is pressed down so that the fastening strip 37 is inserted into the fastening groove 25 of the fastening connector 21, and at the same time, the magnetic head 38 is attracted to the magnetic base 26, achieving double fixation.

[0037] Specifically, the overall length of the extension rod 32 should at least exceed the internal depth of the connecting rod 23.

[0038] In this embodiment, the extension rod 32 is rotated to extend outward along the thread of the moving hole 24 until the target length is reached. The threaded design provides precise length adjustment. Pressing down the locking cap 31 ensures that the extension handle assembly 3 does not shift during the procedure through the mechanical engagement of the fastening strip 37 and the fastening groove 25, and the magnetic attraction of the magnetic head 38 and the magnetic seat 26.

[0039] Specifically, the anti-slip groove 310 on the outer wall of the locking cap 31 makes it easier for doctors to apply force when wearing gloves, thus enhancing operational stability.

[0040] In this embodiment, the threaded extension rod 32 allows for millimeter-level length adjustment to accommodate surgical needs at different bone hole depths. Mechanical fastening combined with magnetic fixation provides strong vibration resistance, eliminating the need for repeated adjustments during surgery. Under simulated vibration conditions, the locking structure showed no displacement. The modular design allows for separate disinfection or replacement of the drill head 1 and the extension shank assembly 3, reducing the risk of cross-infection. Assembly time is shorter than with traditional welded extension rods. The anti-slip groove 310 and lightweight extension rod 32 reduce surgeon fatigue.

[0041] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
