Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of universal joint technology, and in particular to a bidirectional universal joint. Background Technology
[0002] The teaching of oral medicine demands a high level of practical skills. Learners need specialized surgical training to master basic surgical techniques, making hands-on practice an indispensable part of the curriculum. Therefore, occlusal models are widely used in dental colleges and hospitals for simulating surgical procedures.
[0003] In practical applications, oral occlusion models need to work with support rods to simulate the state of a patient lying or sitting in a dental chair. Most existing support rods are non-adjustable with a fixed tilt angle. However, in actual applications, doctors need to make different angle adjustments according to the patient's oral condition. Because existing support frames cannot meet the needs of comprehensive oral medicine teaching, improvements are required. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to propose a bidirectional universal joint, which aims to provide a bidirectional universal joint that can be freely adjusted at multiple angles for use in oral medicine teaching aids.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a bidirectional universal joint, including an adjusting bushing, a first adjusting part, and a second adjusting part. An adjusting space is provided inside the adjusting bushing. The first adjusting part is provided with a first adjusting end and a first connecting end. The second adjusting part is provided with a second adjusting end and a second connecting end. The first adjusting end and the second adjusting end are arranged opposite to each other in the adjusting space. A locking member is provided on the adjusting bushing to lock the first adjusting end and the second adjusting end.
[0006] Specifically, the first adjusting end includes a first adjusting block with a tapered surface on its outer side; the second adjusting end includes a second adjusting block with a tapered surface on its outer side; the locking member includes two locking blocks arranged opposite each other with tapered surfaces on their outer sides; the first adjusting block and the second adjusting block are arranged opposite each other; a locking block is provided between the first adjusting block and the second adjusting block; and the first adjusting block and the second adjusting block are in contact with the locking block respectively.
[0007] Specifically, the first connecting end includes a first connecting rod, which is spherical at one end of the adjustment space. The first adjusting block is provided with a first connecting groove, and the first connecting rod cooperates with the first connecting groove to adjust and connect with the first adjusting block.
[0008] Specifically, the second connecting end includes a second connecting rod, which is spherical at one end of the adjustment space. The second adjusting block is provided with a second connecting groove, and the second connecting rod cooperates with the second connecting groove to adjust and connect with the second adjusting block.
[0009] Specifically, the first adjustment part is provided with a positioning clamp, which is used to fix it to the external desktop.
[0010] Specifically, the second adjustment part is provided with an assembly part, which is used to connect with an external oral medicine teaching aid.
[0011] Specifically, the adjusting bushing is provided with an adjusting groove.
[0012] Specifically, the locking block is provided with a locking hole, and the locking holes of the two opposite locking blocks are coaxially arranged.
[0013] This utility model provides a multi-angle adjustment of an oral medicine teaching aid by setting a first adjustment part and a second adjustment part on the adjustment bushing. The locking member contacts the first adjustment end and the second adjustment end in the adjustment space, thereby achieving bidirectional locking of the first adjustment part and the second adjustment part, and thus locking the first adjustment part and the second adjustment part.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a bidirectional universal joint includes an adjusting sleeve 10, a first adjusting part 20, and a second adjusting part 30. An adjusting space is provided within the adjusting shaft. The first adjusting part 20 has a first adjusting end and a first connecting end, and the second adjusting part 30 has a second adjusting end and a second connecting end. The first and second adjusting ends are positioned opposite each other within the adjusting space. A locking member is provided on the adjusting shaft to lock the first and second adjusting ends. When using the dental teaching aid, the locking member is loosened to allow free movement of the first and second adjusting parts within the adjusting sleeve 10, thereby enabling multi-angle free adjustment of the dental teaching aid. Tightening the locking member locks the dental teaching aid in place.
[0022] The first adjusting end includes a first adjusting block 21, with a tapered surface on its outer side. The second adjusting end includes a second adjusting block 31, with a tapered surface on its outer side. The locking component includes two opposing locking blocks 14, with tapered surfaces on their outer sides. The first adjusting block 21 and the second adjusting block 31 are opposite to each other, and the locking block 14 is positioned between them. The first adjusting block 21 and the second adjusting block 31 are in contact with the locking block 14. In this embodiment, by providing tapered surfaces on the first adjusting block 21 and the second adjusting block 31, and then setting the locking block 14 to a tapered surface, the four tapered surfaces contact each other, thereby facilitating both movement and fixation.
[0023] The first connecting end includes a first connecting rod 22, which is spherical at one end in the adjustment space. A first connecting groove is provided on the first adjusting block 21, and the first connecting rod 22 cooperates with the first connecting groove to adjust and connect with the first adjusting block 21. The second connecting end includes a second connecting rod 32, which is spherical at one end in the adjustment space. A second connecting groove is provided on the second adjusting block 31, and the second connecting rod 32 cooperates with the second connecting groove to adjust and connect with the second adjusting block 31. In this embodiment, by providing spherical ends at both the ends of the first connecting rod 22 and the second connecting rod 32, and connecting the spherical ends with the first connecting groove or the second connecting groove, the reversible adjustment of multiple first connecting rods 22 or second connecting rods 32 can be realized, thereby achieving multi-angle adjustment of the oral medical teaching aid.
[0024] A positioning clamp 11 is provided on the first adjustment part 20, and the positioning clamp 11 is used to fix it to the external desktop. In this embodiment, the positioning clamp 11 is provided on the first adjustment part 20, so as to facilitate the fixed connection with the external desktop through the positioning clamp 11.
[0025] The second adjustment section 30 is provided with an assembly section 12, which is used to connect with an external dental teaching aid. In this embodiment, by providing an assembly section 12 at the upper end of the second adjustment section 30, it is easier to connect with the dental teaching aid through the assembly section 12.
[0026] An adjustment slot 13 is provided on the adjustment sleeve 10. In this embodiment, an adjustment slot 13 is provided at the lower end of the adjustment sleeve 10, which facilitates the angle adjustment of the oral medicine teaching aid at a greater elevation angle. In addition, an adjustment slot 13 can also be provided at the upper end of the adjustment sleeve 10, or multiple adjustment slots 13 can be provided at both the upper and lower ends, in order to adapt to different application scenarios.
[0027] The locking block 14 is provided with a locking hole 15, and the locking holes 15 of the two locking blocks 14 arranged opposite each other are coaxially arranged. In this embodiment, the locking hole 15 is provided on the locking block 14, and the locking member passes through the locking hole 15 of the two locking blocks 14, thereby facilitating the control of the tightness between the locking blocks 14, and thus realizing the locking or loosening of the first adjusting part 20 and the second adjusting part 30.
