DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] like Figure 1-Figure 7As shown, the embodiment provides a kind of pulling force test device for intervertebral fusion device, including: test mould joint 100, sliding sleeve 200, measuring mechanism 300, pull rod 400 and force spring 500;Sliding sleeve 200 has sliding channel, one end of pull rod 400 extends to the inside of sliding channel, and the end of pull rod 400 extending to sliding channel has annular protrusion 410, force spring 500 is located in the inside of sliding channel, and force spring 500 is sleeved on the outside of pull rod 400, two ends of force spring 500 respectively with annular protrusion 410 and the inner wall of sliding sleeve 200 abut;The side wall of sliding sleeve 200 is provided with scale line 212, measuring mechanism 300 is slidably connected with pull rod 400, and measuring mechanism 300 is correspondingly arranged with scale line 212;Test mould joint 100 is used to be connected with test mould 800 located in intervertebral space, test mould joint 100 is connected with the end of sliding sleeve 200 away from pull rod 400, pull rod 400 can overcome force spring 500 relative to sliding sleeve 200 and move, to pull out test mould 800 from intervertebral space by test mould joint 100, measuring mechanism 300 can move along with pull rod 400 along scale line 212, to obtain the pulling force when pulling out test mould 800.

[0046] It should be noted that the pulling force test device for intervertebral fusion device provided by the embodiment can be used as a force measuring device for assisting in selecting implant, and can be matched with the size of pulling force measured by the force measuring device according to the accumulation of data such as the size of pulling force when selecting appropriate test mould 800 by a doctor, corresponding implant and appropriate surgical procedure, to select implant prosthesis and ensure sufficient pressure stimulation between vertebral bodies to promote better fusion of spine. Specifically, before use, measuring mechanism 300 is moved to 0 position of scale line 212, at this time, measuring mechanism 300 can abut against annular protrusion 410 in a stationary state, test mould joint 100 is connected with test mould 800 located in intervertebral space, pulling force is applied to the end of pull rod 400 away from test mould joint 100, pull rod 400 can press force spring 500 to move, when force spring 500 is pressed to a distance, pull rod 400 drives sliding sleeve 200 and test mould joint 100 to move synchronously at this time through force spring 500, test mould 800 is pulled out by test mould joint 100, since measuring mechanism 300 abuts against annular protrusion 410 of pull rod 400, measuring mechanism 300 can move synchronously along scale line 212, after test mould 800 is pulled out, the pulling force of pull rod 400 is released, pull rod 400 is retracted to the initial position under the action of force spring 500, and measuring mechanism 300 stays at the highest position of scale line 212, and the specific value of pulling force of test mould 800 is obtained by scale line 212.

[0047] Optionally, the scale line 212 can display the force value, since the elastic coefficient of the force spring 500 is known, that is, the force value on the current scale line 212 is the product of the distance moved by the pull rod 400 with the elastic coefficient; or the scale line 212 can also be a length value, and the elastic coefficient of the force spring 500 can be written outside the sliding sleeve 200, so that the user can calculate the force value according to the distance moved by the force spring 500.

[0048] The pull-out force testing device for the intervertebral fusion device provided by the embodiment comprises a test model joint 100, a sliding sleeve 200, a measuring mechanism 300, a pull rod 400 and a force spring 500. The sliding sleeve 200 has a sliding channel. The pull rod 400 has an annular protrusion 410 at one end extending into the sliding channel. The force spring 500 is located inside the sliding channel, and the two ends of the force spring 500 abut against the annular protrusion 410 and the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 200, respectively. The side wall of the sliding sleeve 200 is provided with a scale line 212. The measuring mechanism 300 is in sliding connection with the pull rod 400, and the measuring mechanism 300 is arranged in correspondence with the scale line 212. The test model joint 100 is connected to the end of the sliding sleeve 200 away from the pull rod 400. When the test model joint 100 is connected to the test model 800 located in the intervertebral space, the elastic potential energy of the force spring 500 is overcome by pulling the pull rod 400, so that the pull rod 400 moves relative to the sliding sleeve 200. The test model joint 100 synchronously drives the test model 800 to be pulled out from the intervertebral space, and the measuring mechanism 300 can move along the scale line 212 with the pull rod 400, so as to obtain the pull-out force when the test model 800 is pulled out. The pull-out force of the test model 800 corresponding to the selected fusion device model of the doctor can be measured. The doctor can digitize the selection of the intervertebral fusion device through a large amount of test data and clinical research such as follow-up, thereby solving the technical problems in the prior art that the specific pull-out force cannot be obtained when the test model 800 is pulled out, the operation and learning of the doctor can only accumulate experience, and the operation difficulty is increased and the learning period of the doctor is long.

[0049] Further, in the preferred embodiment of the present application, the measuring mechanism 300 comprises a pointer 310 and a sleeve ring 320. The pointer 310 is connected with the sleeve ring 320. The side wall of the sliding sleeve 200 corresponding to the scale line 212 is provided with a first sliding groove 211. The extension direction of the first sliding groove 211 is the same as the scale extension direction of the scale line 212. The pointer 310 is in sliding connection with the first sliding groove 211, and the pointer 310 is arranged in correspondence with the scale line 212. The sleeve ring 320 is sleeved outside the force spring 500, and the sleeve ring 320 can abut against the annular protrusion 410.

[0050] In this embodiment, the collar 320 is sleeved on the outside of the force measuring spring 500 with a clearance fit, and the inner diameter of the collar 320 is smaller than the diameter of the annular protrusion 410. The pointer 310 can pass through the first sliding groove 211 and contact the inner wall of the first sliding groove 211. On the basis of the sliding fit between the pointer 310 and the inner wall of the first sliding groove 211, there is also friction damping between the collar 320 and the inner wall of the first sleeve 210. The collar 320 can ensure the stability of the pointer 310 relative to the first sliding groove 211. The fingertip of the pointer 310 corresponds to the scale line 212. That is, before use, the pointer 310 is manually moved to correspond to the 0 position of the scale line 212. At this time, the collar 320 can just abut against the annular protrusion 410. When the pull rod 400 moves, the pointer 310 can gradually move along the extension direction of the scale line 212 until the pull rod 400 and the sliding sleeve 200 are relatively stationary, and the pointer 310 now stays at the highest position.

[0051] Optionally, the pointer 310 and the collar 320 may be integrally formed.

[0055] In the embodiment, through the symmetrically arranged two groups of second sliding grooves 213, the two push plates 340 are provided on the opposite sides of the push ring 330, and the two push plates 340 are in cooperation with the two second sliding grooves 213, and since each push plate 340 is in contact cooperation with the corresponding second sliding groove 213, the symmetrically structured push plate 340 can exert a limiting force on the push ring 330, so as to make the axis of the push ring 330 coincide with the axis of the pull rod 400, thereby being able to limit the coincidence of the axis of the sleeve ring 320 and the axis of the pull rod 400 through the push ring 330, and ensuring the stability of the pointer 310 during the movement along the scale line 212.

[0056] Alternatively, the sliding sleeve 200 is provided with a limiting groove 710 at the position corresponding to the second sliding groove 213, and the push plate 340 can adopt a T-shaped structure, that is, one end of the push plate 340 penetrates through the second sliding groove 213 and is connected with the push ring 330, and the other end of the push plate 340 is in limiting cooperation with the limiting groove 710, and the limiting groove 710 can better ensure the stability of the push plate 340, so as to be able to limit the coincidence of the axis of the push ring 330 and the axis of the pull rod 400 through the symmetrically arranged two push plates 340.

[0057] In the preferable embodiment of the present application, the sliding sleeve 200 comprises a first sleeve 210 and a second sleeve 220; the first sleeve 210 and the second sleeve 220 are connected, and the sliding channel extends along the first sleeve 210 and the second sleeve 220; the first sliding groove 211 and the second sliding groove 213 are both arranged on the first sleeve 210, and the second sleeve 220 is close to one end of the first sleeve 210, and the second sleeve 220 corresponds to the first sliding groove 211 and the second sliding groove 213 to form an end limit; the second sleeve 220 is provided with a holding section, and a non-slip layer is arranged on the surface along the holding section.

[0058] In this embodiment, the end of the first sleeve 210 corresponding to the test mold joint 100 can adopt a conical structure, and the end of the first sleeve 210 corresponding to the second sleeve 220 can be provided with a thread, the second sleeve 220 is sleeved on the threaded section of the first sleeve 210, and the second sleeve 220 and the first sleeve 210 can be fixed by a threaded connection, and the end of the second sleeve 220 corresponds to the first slide groove 211 and the second slide groove 213 to form an end abutment limit, and the pull rod 400 can extend through the first sleeve 210 and the second sleeve 220, and one end of the force measuring spring 500 is connected to the annular protrusion 4 10 abutment, the other end of the force-measuring spring 500 can abut against the inner wall of the end of the second sleeve 220 away from the first sleeve 210, that is, the maximum elastic compression of the force-measuring spring 500 is the extension length of the first sleeve 210, and the maximum distance that the pointer 310 can move along the scale line 212 is the extension length of the first sleeve 210.

[0060] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the test mold joint 100 includes a joint body 110; the joint body 110 is connected to the sliding sleeve 200, and a slot 111 is provided at one end of the joint body 110 away from the sliding sleeve 200, and an annular step 112 is provided along the inner wall of the slot 111.

The positioning mechanism 120 can be inserted into the positioning groove at the end of the test mold 800. The limited positioning of the positioning mechanism 120 can ensure the stability and axial correspondence of the connection between the joint body 110 and the test mold 800.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the positioning mechanism 120 includes a positioning pin 121, a bayonet pin 122 and a tensioning spring 123; the sliding sleeve 200 has a positioning channel 214 at one end corresponding to the joint body 110, and the positioning pin 121 is inserted into the positioning channel 214; a long hole is opened along the radial direction of the positioning pin 121, the bayonet pin 122 is located inside the positioning channel 214, and the bayonet pin 122 is connected to the sliding sleeve 200, and the bayonet pin 122 is connected to the positioning pin 121 through the long hole; the tensioning spring 123 is located inside the positioning channel 214, and the two ends of the tensioning spring 123 are respectively in contact with the positioning pin 121 and the bottom wall of the positioning channel 214, and the tensioning spring 123 has an elastic tendency to make the positioning pin 121 extend out of the positioning channel 214.

[0065] In this embodiment, the sliding sleeve 200 and the joint body 110 can be connected by threads, and a positioning channel 214 is opened at the center position of the sliding sleeve 200 corresponding to the joint body 110. The positioning pin 121 is arranged along the positioning channel 214, and the locking pin 122 is arranged vertically to the positioning pin 121, that is, the locking slot 111 is matched with the positioning slot through the long hole, and the end of the positioning pin 121 away from the positioning slot is matched with the positioning channel 214 through the tightening spring 123. The tightening spring 123 can ensure that the positioning pin 121 is always in contact with the inside of the positioning slot, so as to ensure that the positioning pin 121, the sliding sleeve 200 and the joint body 110 form a unified positioning and matching connection with the test mold 800, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the joint body 110 and the test mold 800.

[0066] Optionally, the latch 122 can form a circumferential limit on the positioning pin 121 through the elongated hole, and during the movement of the test mold 800, when the test mold 800 applies a reverse force to the positioning pin 121, the positioning pin 121 can form an abutment limit relative to the elongated hole on the basis of having a movable margin of movement, thereby ensuring the stability of the limit of the positioning pin 121.

[0068] In this embodiment, the sliding hammer joint 420 and the pull rod 400 can be connected by threads or can be integrally formed. By forming the sliding hammer joint 420 at the end of the pull rod 400, the sliding hammer joint 420 is connected to the sliding hammer 600. By utilizing the pulling force of the sliding hammer 600, the axial pulling force can be better applied to the test mold 800 through the pull rod 400, the sliding sleeve 200 and the test mold joint 100.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a handle 700 is further included; the handle 700 is connected to one end of the pull rod 400 extending out of the sliding channel, and a groove 710 is provided on the handle 700 corresponding to the position of the sliding hammer joint 420, and the handle 700 abuts against the sliding hammer 600 through the groove 710.

[0070] In this embodiment, the handle 700 is arranged vertically to the pull rod 400, and the handle 700 can be conveniently held and fixed by the user. The handle 700 forms a groove 710 corresponding to the position of the sliding hammer joint 420. The sliding hammer joint 420 extends out of the groove 710 and is connected to the sliding hammer 600. The sliding hammer 600 can abut against the handle 700 through the groove 710, ensuring the compactness and stability of the overall structure.
