Sealing ring 131 is provided between the connecting shaft 13 and the sleeve 12. Specifically, an end of the connecting shaft 13 away from the grinding rod assembly 2 is embedded into the sleeve 12. An outer wall of the connecting shaft 13 is provided with a circular groove, and the circular groove is configured to accommodate the sealing ring 131, such that the sleeve 12 and the connecting shaft 13 are in a sealed state to prevent cooling water from entering into the sleeve 12 to interfere with transmission element 5.

[0039] Inner grinding rod 4 is rotatably provided in the grinding rod assembly 2. The grinder 3 runs through the other end of the grinding rod assembly 2 and is connected to the inner grinding rod 4. An end of the inner grinding rod 4 away from the grinder 3 extends into the sleeve 12 and is rotatably connected to the sleeve 12 through the transmission element 5. The transmission element 5 is connected to an external power handle through interface 14 of the sleeve 12. The transmission element 5 includes bearing 51 provided inside the sleeve 12 and coupling 52 in a rotational fit with the bearing 51. The coupling 52 is connected to the inner grinding rod 4, and the coupling 52 is connected to the external power handle through the interface 14. The external power handle is a driving component of an external host system. The external power handle drives the coupling 52 to rotate around the bearing 51, which in turn drives the inner grinding rod 4 and the grinder 3 to rotate and drill a spine.

[0040] Spiral cooling passage 16 communicated with water injection hole 15 of the sleeve 12 is provided between an inner wall of the housing assembly 11 and the outer wall of the sleeve 12. The external power handle is inserted into the interface 14 to connect the coupling 52. A water inlet pipe of the external power handle is inserted into the water injection hole 15 so as to introduce the cooling water into the water injection hole 15. The grinding rod assembly 2 is provided with water inlet 21. The water inlet 21 is communicated with the cooling passage 16 through chamber 17 inside the housing assembly 11. The cooling water enters the cooling passage 16 from the water injection hole 15, flows through the chamber 17, and flows into the grinding rod assembly 2 from the water inlet 21 to cool the grinding rod assembly 2, the inner grinding rod 4, and the grinder 3, thereby reducing thermal damage to the tissue during the grinding process.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 4, the grinding rod assembly 2 includes fourth outer tube 22, third outer tube 23, second outer tube 24 and first outer tube 25 that are arranged sequentially from inside to outside. The fourth outer tube 22, the third outer tube 23, the second outer tube 24 and the first outer tube 25 are sequentially communicated from outside to inside to form a cooling water passage for cooling the grinder 3 and the inner grinding rod 4. A cavity is formed between each two adjacent outer tubes. The water inlet 21 is located on an outer wall of an end of the first outer tube 25 adjacent to the connecting shaft 13. A side wall of the second outer tube 24 is provided with water guide passage 241 that is communicated with the cavity between the first outer tube 25 and the second outer tube 24. The third outer tube 23 is provided with water guide hole 231 that is communicated with the cavity between the second outer tube 24 and the third outer tube 23. An end of each of the fourth outer tube 22 and the third outer tube 23 adjacent to the grinder 3 is provided with water outlet 26 that is communicated with the cavity.

[0042] The cooling water enters the cavity between the first outer tube 25 and the second outer tube 24 through the water inlet 21. The cooling water inside the cavity between the first outer tube 25 and the second outer tube 24 enters the cavity between the second outer tube 24 and the third outer tube 23 through the water guide passage 241. The cooling water in the cavity between the second outer tube 24 and the third outer tube 23 is guided into the cavity between the fourth outer tube 22 and the third outer tube 23 through the water guide hole 231, and finally reaches the grinder 3 from the water outlet 26. In this embodiment, the cooling water is medical sterile physiological saline. The cooling water passage for cooling the grinder 3 and the inner grinding rod 4 is formed by the cavity between the first outer tube 25 and the second outer tube, the water guide passage 241, the cavity between the second outer tube 24 and the third outer tube 23, the water guide hole 231, the cavity between the third outer tube 23 and the fourth outer tube 22, and the water outlet 26.

[0043] Preferably, a gap is formed between the fourth outer tube 22 and the grinder 3, and the gap is provided to prevent an end position of the fourth outer tube 22 adjacent to the grinder 3 from being tangled by a tissue.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 3, the housing assembly 11 includes fastening element 111 and the water-cooled housing 112 that is detachably connected to the fastening element 111. The fastening element 111 is configured to strengthen the connection stability between the grinding rod assembly 2 and the grinder fixture 1. An inner wall of an end of the fastening element 111 adjacent to the water-cooled housing 112 is provided with an internal thread, and a corresponding position of the water-cooled housing 112 is provided with an external thread that matches the internal thread, thereby achieving a detachable connection. The fourth outer tube 22, the third outer tube 23, the second outer tube 24, and the first outer tube 25 all extend into the fastening element 111 and are connected to the connecting shaft 13 through the first outer tube 25. The chamber 17 is a gap between the fastening element 111 and the connecting shaft 13. The cooling passage 16 is located between an inner wall of the water-cooled housing 112 and the outer wall of the sleeve 12.

[0045] An end of the water-cooled housing 112 away from the fastening element 111 is clamped to locking element 113 configured to lock the external power handle. An outer wall of the end of the water-cooled housing 112 away from the fastening element 111 is provided with a clamping groove. An inner wall of the locking element 113 is correspondingly provided with a circular protrusion that matches the clamping groove, thereby achieving a clamping purpose. The locking element 113 clamps the sleeve 12, the water-cooled housing 112, and the external power handle to improve the connection stability. The locking element 113 is provided with a plurality of through holes for an inlet pipe of the external power handle to pass through.

[0046] In order to reduce the friction between the fourth outer tube 22 and the inner grinding rod 4, an outer wall of the inner grinding rod 4 is wrapped by anti-friction tube 6. The fourth outer tube 22 is located outside the anti-friction tube 6. The anti-friction tube 6 is made of an existing polytetrafluoroethylene tube, and the polytetrafluoroethylene tube has the properties such as high temperature resistance, friction resistance, and corrosion resistance.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 4, the grinder 3 is connected to the inner grinding rod 4 through steel tube 31. An end of the grinder 3 away from the inner grinding rod 4 forms an emery spherical grinding head, conical grinding head, or grinding head with a cutting edge. Different grinders can be selected according to different surgical environments.

[0048] In the present invention, when in use, the external power handle is inserted into the interface 14 and connected to the coupling 52. The external power handle drives the inner grinding rod 4 and the grinder 3 to rotate and drill the spine. The inlet pipe of the external power handle passes through the through holes of the locking element 113 and is communicated with the water injection hole 15. The cooling water introduced by the water injection hole 15 further enters the grinding rod assembly 2 through the cooling passage 16, the chamber 17, and the water inlet 21. The coaxial multi-tube structure of the grinding rod assembly 2 increases the flow time of the cooling water, allowing for full contact between the cooling water and the grinding rod assembly 2. Compared with a traditional external cooling pipe, in the present invention, the amount of the cooling water used by the grinding rod assembly 2 within the same time is reduced, and the cooling water can fully contact the grinding rod assembly 2, thereby effectively cooling the grinding rod assembly 2 and the inner grinding rod 4 and further cooling the grinder 3, so as to achieve cooling of the high-speed grinding drill. The present invention improves the utilization of the space in complex surgeries and accelerates the surgical process.

[0049] The above described are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modification, equivalent substitute and improvement without departing from the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
