Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail and completely with reference to the following specific embodiments of the present application and the accompanying drawings. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Referring to fig. 1, the present application discloses a bone growth promoting system 100 comprising: a sleeve 10; a magnetic rotor 11 disposed in the sleeve 10; a reducer 12 disposed in the sleeve 10 and coupled to the rotor 11; a transmission shaft 13 disposed in the sleeve 10 and coupled to the reducer 12; an extension rod 14 which is at least partially arranged between the transmission shaft 13 and the sleeve 10, is matched and connected with the transmission shaft 13 and is driven by the transmission shaft 13 to move axially relative to the sleeve 10; a flexible magnetic field generator 20 detachably enclosed outside the sleeve 10 for driving the rotation member 11 to rotate.
Specifically, the sleeve 10 is used to provide a structure for accommodating the rotating member 11, the speed reducer 12, the transmission shaft 13 and the extension rod 14. At least a part of the rotating member 11, the speed reducer 12, the transmission shaft 13 and the extension rod 14 is arranged in the sleeve 10.
Specifically, the rotating member 11 serves as an active member in the bone growth assisting system 100, and can provide torque according to the rotation motion of the rotating member. Which in the specific scenario may be represented by ratchet rotor 11, rotor 11, motor rotor 11, etc. When the rotating member 11 is a ratchet rotating member 11, the ratchet rotating member 11 can be driven to rotate mechanically. The ratchet wheel rotating member 11 can be driven to rotate by pressing, for example. When the rotor 11 is a rotor 11, the rotor 11 can be driven to rotate by applying a rotating magnetic field. The permanent magnet rotor rotating member 11 may be driven to rotate by applying an external rotating magnetic field, for example. When the rotating member 11 is the motor rotating member 11, the motor rotating member 11 may be driven to rotate by applying power. The motor rotor 11 can be driven in a rotational movement, for example by emitting an electrical signal.
It is particularly emphasized that a stable working state is required in view of the fact that the rotation member 11 serves as an active member in the bone growth assisting system 100 to provide a torque by its own rotation motion. Therefore, when the rotor 11 is a rotor 11, the present application prefers permanent magnet materials to make the rotor 11. So as to prevent the occurrence of the failure of the operation of the rotary member 11.
It is understood that the rotating member 11 of the present application serves as a power source for the bone growth promoting system 100. Therefore, as long as the device providing the torque is regarded as the rotating member 11 described in the present application. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
The speed reducer 12 is used to reduce the rotation speed of the rotor 11, thereby increasing the torque provided by the rotor 11. It should be noted that the reducer 12 may be a multi-stage planetary reducer 12 or a harmonic reducer 12. When the speed reducer 12 is a multi-stage planetary gear speed reducer 12, the multi-stage planetary gear speed reducer 12 is connected in series with at least three stages, and the single-stage reduction ratio of the multi-stage planetary gear speed reducer 12 is 1: 4. The multi-stage planetary reduction gear 12 therefore has a reduction ratio of at least 1: 64. When the reducer 12 is a harmonic reducer 12, the single reduction ratio of the harmonic reducer 12 is at least 1: 30. Considering that the harmonic speed reducer 12 can achieve a larger reduction ratio in a single stage of the harmonic speed reducer 12 as compared with the multi-stage planetary gear speed reducer 12 in the same size. And the harmonic reducer 12 has few parts and is easy to maintain. Moreover, the harmonic reducer has the advantages of no back clearance, compact structure, light weight and the like. The present retarder 12 is therefore preferably a harmonic retarder 12.
Specifically, the harmonic reducer 12 includes a wave generator, a flexible wheel, and a rigid wheel. Wherein, the flexible wheel is an external gear which is easy to deform. The rigid wheel has an inner gear that meshes with an outer gear of the flexible wheel. The wave generator is a member for controllably elastically deforming the compliant wheel. It is noted that at least one end of the wave generating member is provided with a cam. The flexible wheel sleeve is arranged outside the wave generating piece. The rigid wheel is sleeved outside the flexible wheel. It is also noted that the wave generating member is coupled to the rotary member 11. The number of rigid gear teeth is greater than the number of flexible gear teeth.
In operation, the wave generating member rotates with the rotary member 11. The rigid wheel is used as a fixed part, and the flexible wheel is used as a driven part. When the wave generator is installed in the flexible wheel, the cross section of the cam part of the flexible wheel corresponding to the wave generator is changed from original circular shape to convex end, the external teeth near the convex end of the long shaft are completely meshed with the internal teeth of the rigid wheel, and the external teeth near the two ends of the short shaft are completely separated from the internal teeth of the rigid wheel. The teeth of other sections on the circumference are in a transition state of engagement and disengagement. When the wave generating member continuously rotates, the deformation of the flexible wheel is continuously changed, so that the meshing state of the flexible wheel and the rigid wheel is also continuously changed. Thereby realizing that the flexible wheel rotates slowly relative to the rigid wheel along the opposite direction of the rotation of the wave generating piece. It is also to be emphasized that, to meet the yielding characteristics, the flexible wheel is made of an elastic material. In order to effectively prevent the gear from losing efficacy, the rigid wheel is made of hard materials.
The transmission shaft 13 is driven by the reduction gear 12. In the specific embodiment provided in the present application, the transmission shaft 13 may be a lead screw. It should be noted that, in order to ensure the normal operation of the transmission shaft 13, a coupling may be further disposed between the transmission shaft 13 and the speed reducer 12.
The extension rod 14 is coupled to the transmission shaft 13 and is axially linearly moved by an axial load generated by the transmission shaft 13. It should be noted that the extension rod 14 may be made of a high strength and hard material, considering that the extension rod 14 is the main component of the bone growth system 100 for bearing load.
A flexible magnetic field generator 20 is detachably disposed outside the sleeve 10 for driving the rotation member 11 to rotate. Specifically, the rotor 11 is magnetically driven to rotate by the flexible magnetic field generator 20. The rotation of the rotor 11 drives the reducer 12, the transmission shaft 13 and the extension rod 14 in the sleeve 10 to work.
Further, in a preferred embodiment provided herein, the flexible magnetic field generator 20 comprises a plurality of discrete magnetic field generating units.
Specifically, the magnetic field generating unit is the magnetic generating module 24. Flexible magnetic field generator 20 includes a number of discrete magnetic generating modules 24 rather than being formed from a single magnetic generating module 24. It is contemplated that flexible magnetic field generator 20 may be provided as a single magnetic generating module 24. The magnetic generating module 24 is configured to approximate the shape of the bone growth promoting portion of the patient. Therefore, the magnetic generating modules 24 are arranged, and the magnetic generating modules 24 can be arranged separately according to the bone growth promoting parts of the patient.
It should be noted that if the individual magnetic generating module 24 is configured to approximate the surgical site of a patient, the surgical site of each patient will be different, the magnetic generating module 24 will be configured according to the relative size of the surgical site of each patient, and the manufacturing cost of the magnetic generating module 24 is obviously not suitable for the individual customization of the patient and the manufacturing time of the magnetic generating module 24 is long. Moreover, the installation of a single magnetic generating module 24 relatively increases the difficulty of the medical staff in handling. Therefore, the magnetism generation module 24 is set to a standard specification. The magnetic generating modules 24 with a plurality of standard specifications can be reasonably arranged on each part of the body of different patients.
It will be appreciated that the flexible magnetic field generator 20, through the plurality of discrete magnetic generating modules 24, is essential to the installation of the flexible magnetic field generator 20. The magnetic generating modules 24 are provided in plural numbers, and may control several of the magnetic generating modules 24, or may control all of the magnetic generating modules 24. The flexible magnetic field generator 20 composed of a plurality of magnetic generating modules 24 is obviously more suitable for the needs of the operation patient. It will be appreciated that the plurality of discrete magnetic generating modules 24 described herein should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present application.
Further, in a preferred embodiment provided herein, the magnetism generation module 24 includes: a winding module for reinforcing magnetic flux; and a winding coil wound outside the winding module.
Specifically, the magnetic generator module 24 is configured to ensure that the magnetic generator module 24 can promote bone growth of the patient. In one embodiment provided herein, the magnetic generating module 24 is provided with a winding module that reinforces magnetic flux; and a winding coil wound outside the winding module.
It should be noted that the winding module reinforcing the magnetic flux and the winding coil wound outside the winding module may increase the magnetic flux. The magnetic flux is increased, that is, the area of the vertical magnetic field is enlarged, and the magnetic field is enhanced.
It is to be understood that in one embodiment provided herein, the magnetic generating module 24 is provided with a winding module for reinforcing magnetic flux, and a winding coil is wound around the outside thereof. When the winding coil of the rotating flexible magnetic field generator 20 is set as an ac excitation coil, the three-phase winding thereof generates a pulsating magnetic field under the action of the enhanced magnetic flux. A pulsating magnetic field is a magnetic field with a fixed spatial position and an amplitude varying between a positive and a negative maximum. If only one winding is arranged on the stator of the motor, a bipolar pulse vibration magnetic field is generated when alternating current is conducted. When the magnitude and direction of the current change, the magnitude and polarity of the magnetic field will change accordingly. The position of the magnetic field in space is always constant. If the magnetic field is approximately considered to be distributed along the circumference in a sine shape, and the space vector at the axis of the magnetic field is used for representing, and the vector length is used for representing the amplitude of the magnetic field, theoretical analysis can prove that the pulsating magnetic field generated by the single-phase winding which is electrified by the alternating current can be decomposed into two circular rotating magnetic fields which have half of the original pulsating magnetic field in amplitude and rotate in opposite directions at the same speed. It will be appreciated that the flexible magnetic field generator 20, when implemented as a wraparound alternating magnetic field, compensates for the magnetic field at other orientations to effectively drive the rotating member 11 within the intramedullary nail, even if the rotating member 11 within the sleeve 10 is not coaxial with the flexible magnetic field generator 20.
Further, in a preferred embodiment provided herein, the magnetic generating module 24 further includes a housing for accommodating the winding coil and the winding module therein.
Specifically, the wound coils and the wire winding module of the magnetic generation module 24 should be placed in the housing when secured around the patient. In the embodiment of the present application, the magnetic generating module housing 26 is used to house the magnetic generating module 24, and the magnetic generating module 24 is configured as a plurality of discrete magnetic generating modules 24 with standard specifications according to the above descriptions. The magnetic generating module 24 should also be provided with a standard housing, namely a magnetic generating module housing 26. The arrangement of the casing of the magnetic generation module 24 ensures that the winding module of the magnetic field unit and the winding coil wound outside the winding module can ensure that the shape of the winding module is not easy to change to a certain extent. So that the flexible magnetic field generator 20 exerts its stabilizing effect on the rotating member 11 at the surgical site of the patient. Of course, the magnetic generating module housing 26 is enclosed by the magnetic generating module bag 22. It will be appreciated that the wrapping between the magnetic generation module housing 26 and the magnetic generation module 24 as described herein is clearly not intended to limit the scope of the present application.
Further, in a preferred embodiment provided herein, the flexible magnetic field generator 20 further comprises an ergonomic inner wall member for attachment to a human body surface.
Specifically, the ergonomic inner wall member provided by the flexible magnetic field generator 20 is set as a sponge bag 21, so that the flexible magnetic field generator 20 can be prevented from directly contacting the body part of the patient and attached to the surface of the patient through the sponge bag 21, and the surgical part of the patient is indirectly contacted with the flexible magnetic field generator 20.
It will be appreciated that if the patient's surgical site is in direct contact with the magnetic generating module housing 26 of the flexible magnetic field generator 20, the plurality of magnetic generating module housings 26 thereof will require a plurality of different securing means for securing the magnetic generating module housings 26 thereof. The ergonomic inner wall piece is arranged to be a sponge bag 21, the sponge bag 21 is further arranged to be continuous and surrounding under the condition that the contact between the ergonomic inner wall piece and the surgical site of a patient is guaranteed not to be damaged, and the plurality of magnetic generation module shells 26 can be placed on the sponge bag 21 through the continuous and surrounding sponge bag 21. One side of the sponge bag 21 is wrapped on the operation position of the patient, and correspondingly, the other side is provided with a plurality of magnetic generation module shells 26. One side of the sponge bag 21 wraps the surgical site of the patient and the magnetic generating module shell 26 is placed on the other side of the sponge bag 21, so that the flexible magnetic field generator 20 enables the generating module shell to be stably attached to the surface of the human body through an ergonomic inner wall part.

It will be understood that the specific form of the locking mechanism described herein, obviously, does not constitute a limitation on the specific scope of protection of the present application.
It can be understood that the stability of the magic tape 25 is ensured to a certain extent with respect to the body part of the patient. If the locking mechanism of the flexible magnetic field generator 20 is a mechanical locking mechanism, the surgical site of the patient may be punctured or the retraction mechanism may fall off, causing secondary injury to the patient.
Referring to fig. 2, a flexible magnetic field generator 20 includes: an ergonomic inner wall member for attachment to a human body surface; a plurality of magnetic generating module bags 22 fixedly arranged on the inner wall piece; a magnetic field generating unit housed in the magnetic generation module bag 22; and the locking mechanism is connected with the inner wall piece and can limit the inner wall piece to a human body.
