Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically a wrench for dental implants that can apply vertical force. Background Technology

[0002] In dental implant surgery, the implant needs to be precisely screwed into a pre-prepared hole in the patient's jawbone. Traditional implant wrenches usually have a straight bar or ratchet structure, with the force applied parallel to the implant axis. During operation, the dentist needs to place their hand and instruments directly above the implant. However, in some narrow or specially angled oral operating areas, such as the posterior teeth region, cases with greater jawbone depth, or where the patient has limited mouth opening, this parallel force application method can severely obstruct the dentist's vision and limit the range of motion of surgical instruments, leading to inconvenience in operation. In order to obtain a better operating angle, the dentist often needs to adjust the patient's head position or their own operating posture. This not only increases the operation time but may also affect the implant placement accuracy and initial stability due to unclear vision or an unsatisfactory operating angle, and may even lead to complications such as implant deviation, poor placement, or damage to surrounding tissues.

[0003] Although there are some improved wrenches in the existing technology, such as bent wrenches or drive tools with angled heads, they are essentially still transmitting torque through a fixed-angle rod, which fails to fundamentally solve the problem of obstructed vision in the surgical area. In addition, some wrenches use gear transmission to change the direction of force application, but they are complex in structure, large in size, and difficult to use flexibly in the narrow space of the oral cavity. They also have problems such as low transmission efficiency and indirect feel. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wrench for dental implants that can apply force vertically. This wrench can convert the doctor's vertical rotation operation into a horizontal torque output, thereby enabling more convenient and precise implant placement in narrow oral cavity areas, while effectively improving the surgical field of vision and reducing the difficulty of surgical operation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a wrench for dental implants capable of vertical force application, comprising:

It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "bottom" and "top," "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0027] Example: Please refer to Figures 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution: a wrench for dental implants that can apply vertical force, including a housing, a rotating component, a transmission component, and a drive component. The housing includes a handle 1, a middle seat 2, and a drive seat 3 connected in sequence. The rotating component is vertically disposed on the handle 1 and includes a rotatable drive shaft 11. The transmission component is disposed inside the middle seat 2 and is used to convert the vertical rotational motion of the drive shaft 11 into a horizontal rotational motion. The drive component is disposed inside the drive seat 3 and includes a rotatable connector 4 for detachable connection with a sleeve. The transmission component transmits the horizontal rotational motion to the drive component to drive the connector 4 to rotate.

[0028] In this embodiment, the rotating assembly includes a knob 12 fixed to the top of the drive shaft 11. The bottom end of the drive shaft 11 extends into the handle 1 and is rotatably connected to the inner bottom of the handle 1 via a first bearing 15. A first gear 13 is fixed on the drive shaft 11. By rotating the knob 12, the drive shaft 11 and the first gear 13 can be driven to rotate vertically.

[0029] In this embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a first driven shaft 21. The two ends of the first driven shaft 21 are rotatably connected to the interior of the intermediate seat 2 through a second bearing 25. A second gear 22 and a third gear 23 are fixed on the first driven shaft 21. The second gear 22 and the first gear 13 are meshed and transmitted through a transmission belt 24.

[0030] In this embodiment, the drive assembly further includes a second driven shaft 31 and a fourth gear 32 fixed on the second driven shaft 31. The top end of the second driven shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the inner top of the drive seat 3 through a third bearing 33. The bottom end of the second driven shaft 31 extends out of the drive seat 3 and is fixedly connected to the connector 4. The fourth gear 32 meshes with the third gear 23 of the transmission assembly.

[0031] In this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the knob 12 is provided with a first anti-slip protrusion 14 to increase the friction of the hand during operation.

[0032] In this embodiment, the connector 4 is provided with an elastic locking mechanism for locking the sleeve.

[0033] In this embodiment, the elastic locking mechanism is preferably a spherical locking pin, which is used to quickly engage and lock the corresponding sleeve.

[0034] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the handle 1 is provided with a second anti-slip protrusion 16, which makes it easier for doctors to hold.

[0035] In this embodiment, the transmission belt 24 is a toothed belt. The tooth shape of the toothed belt matches the gear to ensure smooth transmission without slippage. To further ensure transmission reliability, a tensioning wheel can be provided on the inner or outer side of the transmission belt 24, or tension can be achieved by adjusting the center distance of the pulleys.

[0036] In this embodiment, the handle 1, the intermediate seat 2, and the drive seat 3 are preferably made of medical-grade stainless steel to meet the high requirements of surgical instruments for strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility.

[0037] During the surgery, the doctor selects the appropriate sleeve according to the implant model, installs the sleeve on the connector 4, holds the handle 1, and then rotates the knob 12 with the other hand. The vertical rotational force of the knob 12 is transmitted to the first gear 13 through the drive shaft 11. The first gear 13 drives the second gear 22 through the toothed belt 24, causing the first driven shaft 21 to rotate horizontally. The third gear 23, which is fixed on the same first driven shaft 21, rotates accordingly and drives the fourth gear 32, which meshes with it, to rotate. The fourth gear 32 drives the second driven shaft 31 and the connector 4 to rotate, and finally transmits the torque to the sleeve and the implant to complete the implantation operation.

[0038] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
