본 발명은, 와이어 결속장치에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는, 한 쌍의 철사나 전선 및 와이어 등을 일체로 매듭질 경우에 이용할 수 있는 와이어 결속장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a wire binding device, and more particularly, to a wire binding device that can be used when a pair of wires, electric wires, wires, and the like are integrally knotted.
와이어 결속장치란 한 쌍의 철사나 전선 및 와이어 등을 일체로 매듭질 경우에 편리하게 이용하기 위한 장치에 일종이다. 와이어 결속장치는 사용되는 와이어의 종류 및 용도에 따라 다양하게 적용될 수 있다. 이하의 설명에서는 치아교정시 치아에 일체로 연결되어 치아의 뒤틀림 상태를 교정하는 한 쌍의 치아교정용 와이어를 일부구간에서 상호 매듭짓는 경우에 와이어 결속장치를 적용하고 있다.A wire binding device is a kind of device for convenient use when a pair of wires, wires, and wires are integrally knotted. The wire binding device can be variously applied according to the type and use of the wire used. In the following description, a wire binding device is applied to a pair of orthodontic wires that are integrally connected to the teeth during orthodontic treatment to correct the warping state of the teeth in some sections.
통상적으로 부정교합을 치료하는 치아교정 시술시, 어금니 영역의 보다 나은 저작 기능과 앞니 영역의 보다 향상된 발음 및 심미 기능을 위해 움직이는 이동 치아(주로 "앞니")와 움직이면 안 되는 고정 치아(주로 "어금니") 사이에 나타나는 적절한 힘의 조절은 매우 중요하다.Normally during orthodontic treatment to treat malocclusion, a moving moving tooth (usually "front tooth") and a stationary tooth (mainly "molar tooth") for better chewing function in the molar area and better pronunciation and aesthetic function in the front tooth area. The proper force adjustment between the "" is very important.
예를 들어, 뻐드렁니나 삐뚤어진 치아를 교정할 경우, 작은 어금니를 발거한 후 이공간으로 앞니가 이동되게 할 때, 치아에 부착되는 브래킷과 이 사이를 연결하는 치아교정와이어로 구성된 치아교정장치를 사용하게 된다.For example, when correcting a coarse or crooked tooth, use a orthodontic device consisting of a bracket attached to the tooth and a orthodontic wire that connects it between teeth when removing the small molars and causing the incisor to move into this space. Done.
이러한 치아교정장치로 인해 앞니에는 어금니를 향해 이동되는 작용력이 가해진다. 그러나, 이와는 반대의 반작용이 어금니 영역에 나타남으로써 이동되지 말아야 할 어금니가 앞으로 이동되어 발거된 치아 영역의 공간을 차지하게 됨으로써 앞니가 원하는 만큼 이동할 수 없게 되는 문제점이 있다.Due to this orthodontic device is applied to the front teeth moving toward the molars. However, the opposite reaction appears in the molar area, so that the molars that should not be moved are moved forward to occupy the space of the extracted tooth area, thereby preventing the incisor from moving as much as desired.
소위, 교정학에서는 이러한 반작용을 줄이고 이동치아가 충분히 움직일 수 있는 공간을 제공시키기 위해 치아에 착탈가능한 치아 교정장치를 이용한다. 그러나, 성인들의 경우, 심미적인 이유와 끼웠다 뺏다 하는 번거로움의 이유로 착탈가능한 치아교정장치의 시술 협조를 얻기가 어렵다.So-called orthodontics use a dental orthodontic device that is removable from the teeth to reduce this reaction and provide space for the mobile tooth to move sufficiently. However, in the case of adults, it is difficult to obtain a surgical coordination of a removable orthodontic device for aesthetic reasons and cumbersome insertion.
이에, 근자에는 미니임프란트라는 작은 나사못을 치아 뿌리와 뿌리 사이의 잇몸 뼈속에 식립하고, 미니임프란트를 지지축으로 하여 교정하고자 하는 치아들을 탄성재료 및 치아교정용 와이어로 연결한 후, 최종적으로 와이어를 꼬아 결속함으로써 치아를 교정하게 된다.Therefore, in the roots, a small screw called a mini implant is placed in the gum bone between the root of the tooth and the root, and the teeth to be corrected with the mini implant as the supporting shaft are connected with elastic material and orthodontic wire, and finally the wire is connected. Twist and fix the teeth.
그런데, 종래에서는 교정 시술의 거의 최종단계에서 와이어를 꼬아 결속할 경우, 롱노우즈와 같이 선단이 길고 뾰족한 공구를 이용하여 결속하고자 하는 와이어를 파지한 후, 시술자가 손목을 돌리면서 와이어를 꼬아 결속하였다.However, in the related art, when the wire is twisted at almost the final stage of orthodontic treatment, the wire is tied by using a long, pointed tool such as a long nose, and the operator twists the wire while twisting the wire while binding the wrist. .
따라서, 와이어를 결속하는 시술이 용이하지 않을 뿐만 아니라 시술자의 팔이나 손목 등에 피로가 누적되기 때문에 시술에 대한 신뢰도가 낮아질 수 있다. 또한, 결속하고자 하는 와이어의 개수가 많을 경우, 와이어 결속 시간이 매우 소요되는 결점이 있다.Therefore, not only the procedure for binding the wire is easy, but also fatigue is accumulated in the arm or wrist of the operator, so the reliability of the procedure may be lowered. In addition, when the number of wires to be bound is large, there is a drawback that the wire binding time is very long.
따라서, 본 발명의 목적은, 와이어의 결속 작업 및 결속 해제작업을 용이하게 하면서도 소요되는 시간을 단축시킬 수 있도록 한 와이어 결속장치를 제공하는 것이다.Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a wire binding device which can shorten the time required while facilitating the binding operation and the release operation of the wire.

이하에서는 치아교정시, 치아교정용 와이어를 일부구간에서 상호 매듭짓는 경우를 본 발명에 따른 각 실시예로 하면서 첨부도면을 참조하여 본 발명에 대해 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which each case according to the present invention is a case where the orthodontic wire is knotted with each other in some sections.
도 1은 본 발명에 따른 와이어 결속장치의 사시도이고, 도 2는 도 1의 단면도이다. 이들 도면에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 와이어 결속장치는 장치본체(10)와, 각 와이어(w)의 적어도 일부분을 부분적으로 파지하는 파지부(30)를 가지고 장치본체(10)에 회전가능하게 연결되는 회전축(20)과, 장치본체(10)에 마련되어 파지부(30)를 회전축(20)의 축선에 대해 적어도 일방향으로 회전시키는 회전수단(50)을 포함한다.1 is a perspective view of a wire binding device according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. As shown in these figures, the wire binding device according to the present invention has a device body 10 and a gripping portion 30 to partially grip at least a portion of each wire (w) to rotate on the device body 10 Rotating shaft 20 that is connected to the possible, and the rotating means 50 provided on the device body 10 to rotate the grip portion 30 in at least one direction with respect to the axis of the rotating shaft 20.
장치본체(10)는 시술자가 한 손으로 파지할 수 있을 정도의 크기 및 무게를 가지도록 제조되는 것이 유리하다. 이러한 장치본체(10)는 그 위치에 따라 회전축(20)이 결합되는 헤드부(10a)와, 시술자가 파지하는 파지용 손잡이부(10b)를 갖는다. 도시하고 있지는 않으나 파지용 손잡이부(10b)에는 파지를 용이하게 하기 위해 손가락 마디에 대응하는 파지홈이 형성되어 있을 수도 있으며, 별도의 미끌림방지패드를 부착시킬 수도 있다.Device body 10 is advantageously manufactured to have a size and weight enough to be gripped by the operator with one hand. The apparatus body 10 has a head portion 10a to which the rotary shaft 20 is coupled according to its position, and a grip portion 10b for holding by the operator. Although not shown, the gripping portion 10b may be provided with a gripping groove corresponding to the finger node to facilitate gripping, or may be attached with a separate anti-slip pad.
회전축(20)은 긴 막대형상을 가지며, 그 선단에는 와이어(w)를 파지하는 파지부(30)가 마련되어 있다. 파지부(30)는 가늘고 긴 철사의 형태를 띠며 일단이 개방된 부분 고리 형상으로 이루어져 있다(도 2의 확대 "A"참조). 회전축(20)은 그 위치에 따라, 파지부(30)가 마련된 일부 영역은 장치본체(10)의 헤드부(10a)로부터 외부로 노출되게 배치되고 나머지 영역은 헤드부(10a) 내에 배치되어 있다. 이하, 설명의 편의를 위해 회전축(20)을 노출영역(20a)과 삽입영역(20b)으로 구분하여 설명한다.The rotating shaft 20 has an elongate rod shape, and a gripping portion 30 for holding the wire w is provided at the tip thereof. The gripping portion 30 takes the form of an elongated wire and has a partial ring shape with one end open (see enlarged "A" in FIG. 2). The rotation shaft 20 is disposed such that some areas where the gripping portion 30 is provided are exposed to the outside from the head portion 10a of the apparatus main body 10 and the remaining regions are disposed within the head portion 10a according to the position thereof. . Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the rotating shaft 20 is divided into an exposed area 20a and an insertion area 20b.
헤드부(10a)의 측면에는 회전축(20)을 지지하기 위한 보스부(13)가 마련되어있으며, 헤드부(10a) 내의 배면에는 회전축지지돌기(14)가 형성되어 있다. 이에, 회전축(20)의 노출영역(20a)은 보스부(13)에 지지될 수 있고 삽입영역(20b)은 회전축지지돌기(14)에 의해 회전가능하게 지지될 수 있다.A boss portion 13 for supporting the rotating shaft 20 is provided on the side of the head portion 10a, and a rotating shaft support protrusion 14 is formed on the rear surface of the head portion 10a. Thus, the exposed area 20a of the rotating shaft 20 may be supported by the boss portion 13 and the insertion area 20b may be rotatably supported by the rotating shaft support protrusion 14.
회전축(20)의 노출영역(20a)의 외측에는 회전축(20)을 일체로 감싸지지하는 축하우징(40)이 마련되어 있다. 파지부(30)에 인접한 축하우징(40)의 선단에는 철사 형상을 갖는 파지부(30)의 일부분이 통과되어 외부로 노출될 수 있도록 통과공(41)이 형성되어 있다. 그리고, 통과공(41)에 대해 이격된 위치에는 회전축(20)의 길이방향에 대해 축하우징(40)의 위치를 이동시켜 통과공(41)을 통해 파지부(30)가 완전히 노출될 수 있도록 하는 판상의 누름판(42)이 마련되어 있다. 그리고, 보스부(13)와 누름판(42) 사이에는 회전축(20)을 고리상으로 감싸도록 배치되어 헤드부(10a)와 누름판(42) 사이에서 탄성부세하는 스프링부재(44)가 마련되어 있다.On the outside of the exposed area 20a of the rotating shaft 20, a celebratory housing 40 for integrally wrapping the rotating shaft 20 is provided. The through hole 41 is formed at the tip of the celebratory housing 40 adjacent to the gripping portion 30 so that a portion of the gripping portion 30 having a wire shape passes through and is exposed to the outside. In addition, the position of the celebratory housing 40 is moved in the longitudinal direction of the rotation shaft 20 at a position spaced apart from the passage hole 41 so that the grip portion 30 may be completely exposed through the passage hole 41. A plate-shaped pressing plate 42 is provided. A spring member 44 is disposed between the boss portion 13 and the pressing plate 42 so as to surround the rotation shaft 20 in a ring shape, and is elastically biased between the head portion 10a and the pressing plate 42.
이에, 시술자가 누름판(42)을 헤드부(10a)를 향해 당기게 되면 스프링부재(44)가 압축되면서 축하우징(40)은 헤드부(10a)를 향해 소정 거리 이동하고, 이에 연동하여 고리형상의 파지부(30)는 축하우징(40)의 통과공(41)을 통해 외부로 완전히 노출된다. 이 때, 시술자는 결속하고자 하는 와이어(w)를 파지부(30)에 끼워 넣은 후, 누름판(42)에 가했던 힘을 푼다. 그러면 스프링부재(44)가 탄성 팽창되면서 축하우징(40)은 전방으로 이동하고 파지부(30)는 그 일부 영역이 다시 축하우징(40)의 관통공(15) 내로 삽입된다. 따라서, 파지부(30)에 끼워져 있는 와이어(w)는 축하우징(40)의 선단 뾰족한 부분에 의해 지지되어 파지부(30)로부터 임의로 풀리지 않게 된다.Thus, when the operator pulls the pressing plate 42 toward the head portion 10a, the spring member 44 is compressed, and the celebratory housing 40 moves a predetermined distance toward the head portion 10a, thereby interlocking with the annular shape. The gripping portion 30 is completely exposed to the outside through the through hole 41 of the celebratory housing 40. At this time, the operator inserts the wire w to be bound into the gripping portion 30 and then releases the force applied to the pressing plate 42. Then, as the spring member 44 elastically expands, the housing 40 moves forward and the gripping portion 30 is partially inserted into the through hole 15 of the housing 40 again. Therefore, the wire w sandwiched in the gripping portion 30 is supported by the pointed tip of the celebratory housing 40 so as not to be arbitrarily released from the gripping portion 30.
회전축(20)에는 자세히 후술하는 바와 같이, 일단은 회전축(20)에 결합되며 타단은 헤드부(10a)의 상면에 형성된 관통공(15)을 통해 외부로 노출되게 배치되는 작동레버(73)가 결합되어 있다. 작동레버(73)는 회전축(20)을 회전축(20)의 축선방향을 따라 선형적으로 위치 이동시키면서, 회전축(20)의 회전방향을 조절하게 된다.As described later in detail on the rotating shaft 20, one end is coupled to the rotating shaft 20 and the other end is provided with an operating lever 73 disposed to be exposed to the outside through the through hole 15 formed on the upper surface of the head (10a) Are combined. The operation lever 73 adjusts the rotation direction of the rotation shaft 20 while linearly moving the rotation shaft 20 along the axial direction of the rotation shaft 20.
회전수단(50)은 헤드부(10a)에 수용되는 회전축(20)의 삽입영역(20b)에 마련된 구동 베벨기어(51)와, 구동 베벨기어(51)에 상호 경사 맞물림되어 구동 베벨기어(51)를 회전시키는 종동 베벨기어(52)와, 종동 베벨기어(52)를 구동시키는 구동부(53)를 포함한다.The rotating means 50 is inclined to the driving bevel gear 51 and the driving bevel gear 51 provided in the insertion region 20b of the rotating shaft 20 accommodated in the head portion 10a and the driving bevel gear 51. And a driven bevel gear 52 for rotating), and a driving unit 53 for driving the driven bevel gear 52.
종동 베벨기어(52)는 후술할 역방향 베벨기어(71)와의 기어맞물림을 위해 구동 및 역방향 베벨기어(51,71)보다는 그 크기가 크게 형성되고 수평방향을 따라 배치된다. 그리고, 종동 베벨기어(52)는 헤드부(10a)와 손잡이부(10b)의 상호 경계영역에 형성된 더미부재(57)에 브래킷결합부(58)를 결합시키고, 로드(59)를 이용하여 브래킷결합부(58)에 대해 회전가능하도록 지지하고 있다. 여기서, 종동 베벨기어(52)를 포함한 각 베벨기어(51,52,71)들의 크기와 배치 위치 등은 필요에 따라 적절하게 변경될 수 있음은 두말할 여지가 없는 것이다.The driven bevel gear 52 is larger in size than the drive and reverse bevel gears 51 and 71 and arranged along the horizontal direction for gear engagement with the reverse bevel gear 71 to be described later. In addition, the driven bevel gear 52 couples the bracket engaging portion 58 to the dummy member 57 formed at the mutual boundary area between the head portion 10a and the handle portion 10b, and uses the rod 59 to mount the bracket. It is rotatably supported relative to the engaging portion 58. Here, it goes without saying that the bevel gears 51, 52, and 71 of the bevel gears 51, 52, and 71 including the driven bevel gears 52 may be appropriately changed as necessary.
구동부(53)는 장치본체(10)의 파지용 손잡이부(10b)의 외측으로 노출되는 누름버튼부(54)와, 누름버튼부(54)와 종동 베벨기어(52)에 일체로 연결되어 누름버튼부(54)의 직선운동을 종동 베벨기어(52)의 회전운동으로 변환시키는 전동부(56)를갖는다. 이에, 시술자가 누름버튼부(54)를 장치본체(10) 측을 향해 선형 가압하게 되면, 종동 베벨기어(52)의 하측에 일측으로 편심 배치되어 있는 전동부(56)에 의해 종동 베벨기어(52)는 로드(59)를 중심으로 회전할 수 있다.The driving part 53 is integrally connected to the push button part 54 and the push button part 54 and the driven bevel gear 52 which are exposed to the outside of the grip handle 10b of the device body 10, and is pressed. The transmission part 56 which converts the linear motion of the button part 54 into the rotational motion of the driven bevel gear 52 is provided. Therefore, when the operator presses the push button portion 54 linearly toward the apparatus body 10 side, the driven bevel gear (by the driven portion 56 eccentrically arranged to one side below the driven bevel gear 52) 52 may rotate about rod 59.
이 때, 종동 베벨기어(52)에는 구동 베벨기어(51)가 상호 경사맞물림되어 있으므로 종동 베벨기어(52)의 회전에 의해 구동 베벨기어(51)는 회전하게 되고, 구동 베벨기어(51)에 결합된 회전축(20) 역시 축선방향을 따라 회전할 수 있다. 이하, 설명의 편의를 위해 구동 베벨기어(51)에 의해 회전축(20)이 회전하는 방향을 정방향이라 하고 후술할 역방향 베벨기어(71)에 의해 회전축(20)이 회전되는 방향을 역방향이라 가정하여 설명한다.At this time, since the driving bevel gears 51 are inclined to each other in the driven bevel gears 52, the driving bevel gears 51 rotate by the rotation of the driven bevel gears 52, and the driving bevel gears 51 are rotated. The combined rotating shaft 20 may also rotate along the axial direction. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, it is assumed that the direction in which the rotating shaft 20 rotates by the driving bevel gear 51 is the forward direction, and the direction in which the rotating shaft 20 is rotated by the reverse bevel gear 71 to be described later is the reverse direction. Explain.
손잡이부(10b)의 내측에는 누름버튼부(54)의 가압방향과 평행한 탄성스프링(60)이 마련되어 있다. 탄성스프링(60)은 그 일단이 손잡이부(10b) 내측면에 형성된 스프링결합부(62)에 의해 고정되고 타단이 누름버튼부(54)의 단부에 결합된다. 이에, 회전축(20)을 정방향으로 회전시키고자 가압된 누름버튼부(54)는 탄성스프링(60)에 의해 원위치로 복귀될 수 있다.An inner side of the handle portion 10b is provided with an elastic spring 60 parallel to the pressing direction of the push button portion 54. One end of the elastic spring 60 is fixed by a spring coupling portion 62 formed on the inner surface of the handle portion 10b and the other end thereof is coupled to the end portion of the push button portion 54. Thus, the push button portion 54 pressed to rotate the rotation shaft 20 in the forward direction may be returned to its original position by the elastic spring 60.
한편, 본 발명에서는 회전축(20)의 회전방향이 정방향이 아닌 역방향으로도 회전할 수 있도록 하고 있다. 이를 위해 회전가변수단(70)을 더 마련하고 있다. 회전가변수단(70)은 구동 베벨기어(51)와 서로 치형이 반대되게 형성되어 회전축(20)의 삽입영역(20b)에 구동 베벨기어(51)와 소정 거리 이격되게 마련되며 종동 베벨기어(52)에 치형 결합되는 역방향 베벨기어(71)와, 전술한 작동레버(73)를 포함한다.On the other hand, in the present invention, the rotation direction of the rotation shaft 20 can be rotated in the reverse direction instead of the forward direction. To this end, the rotation variable stage 70 is further provided. The rotary variable stage 70 is formed so that the teeth of the driving bevel gear 51 and the tooth opposite to each other is provided to be spaced apart from the driving bevel gear 51 by a predetermined distance in the insertion region 20b of the rotating shaft 20, and driven bevel gear 52 And a reverse bevel gear 71 that is tooth-coupled to () and the above-described operating lever (73).
본 실시예에서 역방향 베벨기어(71)는 회전축(20)에 고정된 채로 구동 베벨기어(51)와 그 위치가 반대되도록 하고 있다. 이에, 시술자가 작동레버(73)를 일방향(도 5의 화살표 "F"방향 참조)으로 움직여 구동 베벨기어(51)는 종동 베벨기어(52)로부터 이탈시키고 종동 베벨기어(52)에 역방향 베벨기어(71)가 맞물리도록 한 후, 누름버튼부(54)를 가압하면 전동부(56)에 의해 종동 베벨기어(52)는 회전하게 되고 종동 베벨기어(52)에 맞물림된 역방향 베벨기어(71)는 회전하면서 회전축(20)을 회전시키게 된다. 이 때의 회전축(20)의 회전 방향은 전술한 구동 베벨기어(51)에 의한 방향과 반대되는 역방향이 된다.In the present embodiment, the reverse bevel gear 71 is fixed to the rotation shaft 20 so that its position is opposite to that of the driving bevel gear 51. Thus, the operator moves the actuating lever 73 in one direction (see the arrow "F" direction in FIG. 5) so that the driving bevel gear 51 is disengaged from the driven bevel gear 52 and the reverse bevel gear to the driven bevel gear 52. After the 71 is engaged, when the pushbutton 54 is pressed, the driven bevel gear 52 is rotated by the transmission 56, and the reverse bevel gear 71 engaged with the driven bevel gear 52 is engaged. Rotates the rotating shaft 20 while rotating. At this time, the rotation direction of the rotation shaft 20 is in the opposite direction to the direction by the above-described driving bevel gear 51.
이러한 구성에 의하여, 본 발명의 제1실시예에 따른 치아교정용 결속장치를 사용하여 와이어(w)를 꼬아 결속하는 시술 과정을 도 3 내지 도 5를 참조하면서 설명하면 다음과 같다.By such a configuration, a procedure of twisting and binding the wire w using the orthodontic binding device according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5 as follows.
우선 시술자가 파지용 손잡이부(10b)를 잡은 상태에서 검지나 중지 등을 이용하여 축하우징(40)에 형성된 누름판(42)을 헤드부(10a)를 향해 당긴다(도 3의 화살표 "D"방향 참조). 그러면, 스프링부재(44)가 압축되면서 축하우징(40)은 헤드부(10a)를 향해 소정 거리 이동하고, 이에 연동하여 고리 형상을 갖는 파지부(30)는 축하우징(40)의 통과공(41)을 통해 외부로 완전히 노출된다.First, the operator pulls the pressing plate 42 formed on the celebratory housing 40 toward the head portion 10a by using an index finger or a middle finger while holding the grip portion 10b for holding (the arrow “D” direction in FIG. 3). Reference). Then, as the spring member 44 is compressed, the celebratory housing 40 moves a predetermined distance toward the head portion 10a, and the grip portion 30 having a ring shape in connection with the circulating housing 40 passes through the celebratory housing 40 ( 41) fully exposed to the outside.
이 때, 시술자는 파지부(30)에 결속하고자 하는 와이어(w)에 적절하게 끼워 넣은 후(도 3의 확대 "B" 참조), 누름판(42)에 가했던 힘을 푼다. 그러면 스프링부재(44)가 탄성 팽창되면서 축하우징(40)은 전방으로 이동하고 파지부(30)는 그 일부 영역이 다시 축하우징(40)의 관통공(15) 내로 삽입된다. 따라서, 파지부(30)에 끼워져 있던 와이어(w)는 축하우징(40)의 선단에 의해 지지됨으로써 파지부(30)로부터 임의로 풀리지 않게 된다.At this time, the practitioner releases the force applied to the pressing plate 42 after properly inserting the wire w to be bound to the gripping portion 30 (see enlarged "B" in FIG. 3). Then, as the spring member 44 elastically expands, the housing 40 moves forward and the gripping portion 30 is partially inserted into the through hole 15 of the housing 40 again. Therefore, the wire w sandwiched in the gripping portion 30 is supported by the tip of the celebration housing 40 so as not to be released from the gripping portion 30 arbitrarily.
이러한 상태에서 시술자는 누름버튼부(54)를 장치본체(10) 측을 향해 가압한다(도 4의 화살표 "E"방향 참조). 그러면, 누름버튼부(54)의 직선운동은 전동부(56)를 통해 종동 베벨기어(52)로 향하게 되며 이들의 메커니즘에 의해 종동 베벨기어(52)는 로드(59)의 축선에 대해 회전할 수 있다.In this state, the operator presses the push button part 54 toward the apparatus main body 10 side (see arrow "E" direction in FIG. 4). Then, the linear movement of the push button portion 54 is directed to the driven bevel gear 52 through the transmission 56, and by their mechanism, the driven bevel gear 52 can rotate about the axis of the rod 59. Can be.
이 때, 종동 베벨기어(52)에는 구동 베벨기어(51)가 상호 경사맞물림되어 있으므로 종동 베벨기어(52)의 회전에 의해 구동 베벨기어(51)는 회전할 수 있게 되고, 구동 베벨기어(51)에 결합된 회전축(20) 역시 축선방향을 따라 정방향으로 회전할 수 있다. 따라서, 파지부(30)에 끼워진 와이어(w)는 매듭지어질 수 있다(도 4의 확대 "C" 참조). 여기서, 각 베벨기어(51,52,71)의 치수와 누름버튼부(54)의 이동거리를 적절하게 조절한다면 누름버튼부(54)의 1회 가압에 대한 회전축(20)의 회전비를 적절하게 계산할 수 있다. 여기서, 도면에는 탄성스프링(60)에 의해 누름버튼부(54)의 복귀할 경우, 종동 베벨기어(52)가 역방향으로 회전할 수 있도록 도시되어 있으나, 이는 설명의 편의를 위해 도시한 것일 뿐, 누름버튼부(54)의 복귀시, 종동 베벨기어(52)가 역방향으로 회전하지 않도록 해야한다. 따라서, 누름버튼부(54)의 복귀 운동이 종동 베벨기어(52)에 간섭을 받지 않도록 하는 별도의 수단이 필요한 것이다. 이를 위해, 종동 베벨기어(52)와 전동부(56)에는 상호 간섭이 되지 않도록 하는 공회전수단(미도시)을 마련하는 것이 보다 효과적이다.At this time, since the driving bevel gears 51 are mutually inclined to the driven bevel gears 52, the driving bevel gears 51 can rotate by the rotation of the driven bevel gears 52, and the driving bevel gears 51 Rotating shaft 20 coupled to) may also rotate in the forward direction along the axial direction. Thus, the wire w sandwiched in the gripping portion 30 can be knotted (see enlarged " C " in FIG. 4). Here, if the dimensions of each bevel gear (51, 52, 71) and the movement distance of the push button portion 54 is properly adjusted, the rotation ratio of the rotation shaft 20 to the single press of the push button portion 54 is properly adjusted. Can be calculated Here, in the drawing, when the push button portion 54 is returned by the elastic spring 60, the driven bevel gear 52 is shown to rotate in the reverse direction, but this is only shown for convenience of description, When the push button portion 54 returns, the driven bevel gear 52 should not rotate in the reverse direction. Therefore, a separate means is required so that the return movement of the push button portion 54 does not interfere with the driven bevel gear 52. To this end, it is more effective to provide idle driving means (not shown) in the driven bevel gear 52 and the transmission unit 56 so as not to interfere with each other.
한편, 회전축(20)을 역방향으로 회전시킬 필요가 있을 경우, 즉, 결속된 와이어(w)를 풀고자할 경우, 시술자는 작동레버(73)를 전방으로 전진시킨다(도 4의 화살표 "F"방향 참조). 그러면, 구동 베벨기어(51)는 종동 베벨기어(52)로부터 이탈되고, 후방에 배치된 역방향 베벨기어(71)가 종동 베벨기어(52)에 치형 맞물림된다. 이러한 상태에서 역시, 시술자가 누름버튼부(54)를 장치본체(10) 측을 향해 가압하면(도 4의 화살표 "G"방향 참조), 전동부(56)에 의해 종동 베벨기어(52)는 회전하게 되고, 이 회전력을 전달받은 역방향 베벨기어(71)는 회전축(20)을 역방향으로 회전시키게 된다.On the other hand, when it is necessary to rotate the rotating shaft 20 in the reverse direction, that is, to untie the wire w, the operator advances the operating lever 73 forward (arrow “F” in FIG. 4). Direction). Then, the driving bevel gear 51 is disengaged from the driven bevel gear 52, and the reverse bevel gear 71 disposed behind is toothed to the driven bevel gear 52. In this state, too, when the operator presses the push button portion 54 toward the apparatus main body 10 side (see arrow "G" direction in FIG. 4), the driven bevel gear 52 is driven by the transmission portion 56. The rotating bevel gear 71 receives the rotational force to rotate the rotating shaft 20 in the reverse direction.
이처럼, 와이어(w)를 결속하는 작업이 완료되면 시술자는 다시, 축하우징(40)에 형성된 누름판(42)을 헤드부(10a)를 향해 당겨, 와이어(w)가 결속된 파지부(30)가 축하우징(40)의 통과공(41)을 통해 외부로 거의 노출되도록 한 상태에서, 파지부(30)로부터 와이어(w)를 이탈시킴으로써, 와이어(w)의 결속 작업은 간단하게 마무리된다.As such, when the operation of binding the wire w is completed, the operator pulls the pressing plate 42 formed on the celebration housing 40 toward the head portion 10a again, and the grip portion 30 to which the wire w is bound is attached. By releasing the wire w from the gripping portion 30 in a state in which it is almost exposed to the outside through the passage hole 41 of the conical housing 40, the binding work of the wire w is simply finished.
이와 같이, 본 발명에서는 와이어(w) 등을 용이하게 결속 및 결속 해제할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 소요되는 시간을 단축시킬 수 있다. 또한, 와이어(w)를 결속하는 시술이 용이하기 때문에 시술자의 팔이나 손목 등에 피로가 누적되지 않아 시술에 대한 신뢰도를 높일 수 있다.As described above, in the present invention, not only the wire w and the like can be easily bound and released, but also the time required can be shortened. In addition, since the procedure of binding the wire (w) is easy, fatigue does not accumulate in the arm or wrist of the operator, thereby increasing the reliability of the procedure.
전술한 실시예에서는 파지부(30)의 형상을 일단이 개방된 고리형상(도 2의 확대 "A"참조)으로 하고 있다. 그러나 파지부(30)와 축하우징(40)은 다음의 실시예들과 같이 구성할 수도 있음은 물론이다.In the above-described embodiment, the grip portion 30 is shaped like an annular shape (see enlarged " A " in FIG. 2) with one end open. However, the gripping portion 30 and the congratulation housing 40 may be configured as in the following embodiments, of course.
제2실시예를 도시한 도 6에는 회전축(20a)의 단부에 마련된 파지부(30a)가한 쌍의 파지부분(30a',30a")으로 되어 축하우징(40a) 내에 마련되어 있다. 그리고, 한 쌍의 파지부분(30a',30a") 사이에는 한 쌍의 파지부분(30a',30a")이 상호 이격되는 방향으로 탄성부세하는 스프링(80a)이 마련되어 있다.In Fig. 6 showing the second embodiment, the gripping portion 30a provided at the end of the rotating shaft 20a is provided as a pair of gripping portions 30a 'and 30a "and provided in the celebratory housing 40a. The spring 80a is elastically biased in a direction in which the pair of gripping portions 30a ', 30a "are spaced apart from each other.
이에, 제1실시예에서의 설명과 마찬가지로, 축하우징(40a)을 (a)도에 도시된 화살표 방향으로 이동시키면, 축하우징(40a) 내에 수용되어 있던 파지부(30a)는 축하우징(40a)으로부터 노출되면서 스프링(80a)에 의해 양단이 상호 개방되는 형태를 취한다. 이 때, 한 쌍의 파지부분(30a',30a") 사이로 결속하고자 하는 와이어(w)를 배치한 후, 다시 축하우징(40a)을 (b)도에 도시된 화살표 방향으로 이동시키면, 한 쌍의 파지부부분은 와이어(w)를 파지한 상태에서 축하우징(40a) 내로 수용된다. 이 때, 소정의 회전수단(미도시)을 이용하여 회전축(20a)을 회전시킴으로써 파지부(30a)에 물린 와이어(w)를 꼬아 결속할 수 있다.Thus, similarly to the description in the first embodiment, when the celebratory housing 40a is moved in the direction of the arrow shown in (a), the holding part 30a housed in the celebratory housing 40a is the celebratory housing 40a. The both ends are opened to each other by the spring (80a) while being exposed from). At this time, after arranging the wire w to be bound between the pair of gripping portions 30a 'and 30a', the pair of moving housings 40a are moved in the direction of the arrow shown in (b). The gripping portion of the glove portion is accommodated into the celebratory housing 40a in a state of holding the wire w. At this time, the gripping portion 30a is rotated by using a predetermined rotating means (not shown). The bite wire w can be twisted to bind.
도 6의 구성 외에도 제3실시예에 도시한 도 7에서와 같이, 회전축(70b)의 단부에 마련된 한 쌍의 파지부분(30b',30b")의 형상을 치형으로 할 수도 있다. 이럴 경우, 와이어(w)를 파지하는 강도를 더욱 높일 수 있다. 제3실시예에 대한 동작 설명은 전술한 제2실시예와 동일하므로 생략하며 참조부호는 구별한다.In addition to the configuration of Fig. 6, as shown in Fig. 7 shown in the third embodiment, the shape of the pair of gripping portions 30b 'and 30b " provided at the end of the rotating shaft 70b may be toothed. It is possible to further increase the strength of gripping the wire w. The operation description of the third embodiment is the same as that of the above-described second embodiment, and thus the description is omitted.
제4실시예를 도시한 도 8은 제3실시예와 거의 유사하나, 파지부(30c) 중 일측의 파지부분(30c")은 고정시키고, 타측의 파지부분(30c')은 고정된 일측의 파지부분(30c")에 대해 회동할 수 있도록 하고 있다. 이 역시, 제2실시예보다는 와이어(w)를 파지하는 강도를 더욱 높일 수 있다. 제4실시예에 대한 동작 설명은 전술한 제2 및 제3실시예와 동일하므로 생략하며 참조부호는 구별한다.FIG. 8 shows a fourth embodiment, which is almost similar to the third embodiment, except that one gripping portion 30c "of the gripping portion 30c is fixed, and the gripping portion 30c 'of the other side is fixed. The gripping portion 30c "can be rotated. This also makes it possible to further increase the strength of gripping the wire w than in the second embodiment. The description of the operation of the fourth embodiment is the same as that of the second and third embodiments described above, and thus the description is omitted.
한편, 와이어(w)를 파지한 후, 회전시키면서 와이어(w)를 결속하는 과정에서 와이어(w)의 선단 날카로운 부분이 잇몸이나 입안의 벽면에 닿으면 상처를 받을 수 있다. 이에, 제5실시예를 도시한 도 9에서와 같이, 축하우징(40d)의 외측에 소정의 와이어권취수단(90)을 마련하고 파지부(30d)에 의해 파지된 와이어(w)의 선단을 와이어권취수단(90)에 권취시킨 다음, 회전축(20d)을 회전시키면서 와이어(w)를 꼬아 결속한다면 와이어(w)로 인해 잇몸이나 입안의 벽면이 상처받는 것을 억제할 수 있다. 그리고, 이러한 와이어권취수단은 도 9에서와 같이, 돌기의 형태로 될 수도 있으며, 일단이 축하우징의 외측에 힌지로 회동가능하게 결합되어 와이어(w)의 선단 영역을 축하우징의 외측으로 밀착유지시킨 후, 이를 차폐하는 덮개구조(미도시)로 적용될 수도 있음은 물론이다.On the other hand, after holding the wire (w), in the process of binding the wire (w) while rotating, if the sharp portion of the tip of the wire (w) touches the gum or the wall surface of the mouth may be hurt. Thus, as shown in FIG. 9 showing the fifth embodiment, a predetermined wire winding means 90 is provided outside the celebration housing 40d and the tip of the wire w held by the gripping portion 30d is removed. After winding the wire winding means 90 and twisting the wire w together while rotating the rotary shaft 20d, it is possible to suppress the wound of the wall surface of the gum or mouth due to the wire w. And, the wire winding means may be in the form of a protrusion, as shown in Figure 9, one end is rotatably coupled to the outside of the celebration housing to keep the front end of the wire (w) in close contact with the outside of the celebration housing Of course, it can also be applied as a cover structure (not shown) to shield it.
전술한 실시예들에서는 회전축을 덮는 축하우징을 개시하고 있으나, 축하우징을 마련하지 않고 단부에 파지부가 형성된 회전축만을 마련할 수도 있다.Although the above-described embodiments disclose a celebratory housing covering the rotating shaft, the axial housing may be provided without providing the celebratory housing.
즉, 도 10에 도시된 바와 같이, 파지부(40e)에는 와이어(w)를 파지하는 파지단부(31e,32e)와 한 쌍의 파지단부(31e,32e)를 상호 이격시킬 수 있는 한 쌍의 손잡이부(41e,42e)가 마련되어 있어야 한다. 이에, 한 쌍의 손잡이부(41e,42e)를 상호 접근시켜 한 쌍의 파지단부(31e,32e)를 상호 이격시켜 놓은 상태에서 각 파지단부(31e,32e) 사이로 와이어(w)를 배치하고, 한 쌍의 손잡이부(41e,42e)에 가했던 힘을 풀면 스프링(80e)의 반발력에 의해 한 쌍의 파지단부(31e,32e)가 상호 접근되면서 와이어(w)를 파지할 수 있도록 하는 것이 바람직하다.That is, as shown in FIG. 10, the holding part 40e has a pair of holding end parts 31e and 32e holding the wire w and a pair of holding end parts 31e and 32e. Handle portions 41e and 42e should be provided. Accordingly, the wires w are disposed between the respective grip end portions 31e and 32e in a state where the pair of grip portions 41e and 42e are approached to each other and the pair of grip end portions 31e and 32e are spaced apart from each other. When the force applied to the pair of handle portions 41e and 42e is released, it is desirable to allow the pair of holding ends 31e and 32e to grip the wire w while mutually approaching by the repulsive force of the spring 80e. Do.
전술한 실시예 외에도 정역 방향으로 회전가능한 모터를 사용하고 이 모터에회전축을 연결하여 온오프 스위치를 통해 회전축을 정역방향으로 회전시킬 수도 있음은 물론이다.In addition to the above-described embodiment, it is also possible to use a motor rotatable in the forward and reverse directions and to connect the rotary shaft to the motor to rotate the rotary shaft in the forward and reverse directions through an on / off switch.
이상 설명한 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따르면, 와이어의 결속 작업 및 결속 해제작업을 용이하게 하면서도 소요되는 시간을 단축시킬 수 있도록 한 와이어 결속장치가 제공된다.As described above, according to the present invention, there is provided a wire binding device that can shorten the time required while facilitating the binding operation and the release operation of the wire.
