[0038] To facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of this patent, the following will be further explained with specific embodiments in conjunction with the drawings. The embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of this patent.

[0039] This embodiment provides a rod pressing method and a rod pressing device, such as Figures 1 to 8 shown.

[0040] The stick pressing method is implemented by a stick pressing device, which comprises a handle mechanism and a transmission mechanism connected in sequence.

[0041] The handle mechanism comprises a second handle 2, a first handle 1 and a third handle 3 which are connected in sequence.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the first handle 1 includes a handle portion 4 and an inner core portion 5 .

[0043] The handle portion 4 is provided with a first connection hole 6 and a second connection hole 7, which are used to connect the second handle 2 to the first handle 1 respectively.

[0044] The inner core part 5 is cylindrical, and the side wall of the inner core part 5 is provided with a first moving hole 8, a second moving hole 9 and a first notch 10. The first moving hole 8 is in the shape of an elongated strip, and has the same extension direction as the inner core part 5. The first moving hole 8 is arranged through the opposite side wall of the inner core part 5, and its penetration direction is the first direction. The second moving hole 9 is located above the first moving hole 8. The second moving hole 9 is in the shape of an elongated strip, and has the same extension direction as the inner core part 5. Its arrangement is similar to the first moving hole 8, and is arranged through the opposite side wall of the inner core part 5 along the first direction, and the length of the second moving hole 9 in the extension direction is less than the length of the first moving hole 8 in the extension direction. The first notch 10 is located at the upper end of the inner core part 5, and the depth of the first notch 10 is toward the extension direction of the handle part 4. In addition, the first notch 10 is through along the first direction, and the distance between the upper part of the first notch 10 and the corresponding side wall is less than the distance between the lower part and the corresponding side wall.

[0045] The inner core part 5 is provided with a first moving pin 11, a second moving pin 12 and an elastic member 13 arranged along the extension direction of the inner core part 5, and the elastic member 13 connects the first moving pin 11 and the second moving pin 12. The first moving pin 11 is arranged in the second moving hole 9, and the second moving hole 9 provides a moving space for the first moving pin 11 in the extension direction of the inner core part 5. The second moving pin 12 is arranged in the first moving hole 8, and the first moving hole 8 provides a moving space for the second moving pin 12 in the extension direction of the inner core part 5.

[0046] The second handle 2 is provided with a first hole 14 and a second hole 15 which are arranged in vertical arrangement, and the first hole 14 is located above the second hole 15 .

[0047] The first hole 14 corresponds to the first connecting hole 6 , and a first pin is used to pass through the first connecting hole 6 and the first hole 14 at the same time, so that the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 rotate relative to each other with the first pin as the axis.

[0048] The third handle 3 is provided with a second opening 17 and a first opening 16 arranged in a vertical arrangement, and the second opening 17 is located above the first opening 16. The first opening 16 corresponds to the second connecting hole 7, and a second pin is used to simultaneously pass through the first opening 16 and the second connecting hole 7, so that the first handle 1 and the third handle 3 rotate relative to each other with the second pin as the axis. The second handle 2 and the third handle 3 are arranged opposite to each other, and are respectively located on both sides of the first handle 1.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the transmission mechanism includes an outer shell 18 and a middle shell 19 .

[0050] The outer shell 18 is cylindrical and is arranged at the outermost layer of the stick press, and has a receiving space inside. The inner core part 5 of the first handle 1 at least partially extends into the receiving space, and the outer shell 18 is connected to the second handle 2. Specifically, the outer shell 18 covers the upper part of the inner core part 5, and after the two are connected, the outer shell 18 is higher than the inner core part 5 in the vertical direction, and the space where the outer shell 18 is higher than the inner core part 5 accommodates the connector 39.

[0051] The end of the shell 18 close to the second handle 2 is provided with a first protrusion 20 protruding from the side wall of the shell 18 and extending outward, and the first protrusion 20 is provided with a first preset opening 21. The shell 18 and the second handle 2 are connected through a first connecting module 22, the first connecting module 22 is in a strip shape, has a certain curvature, and is bent toward the axial direction of the rod press. When the two ends of the first connecting module 22 are on the same vertical line, the distance between the middle of the first connecting module 22 and the axis is greater than the distance between the two ends and the axis. The first connecting module 22 is provided with a first corresponding hole 23 and a second corresponding hole 24 arranged up and down, the first corresponding hole 23 is located above the second corresponding hole 24, the first corresponding hole 23 and the first preset opening 21 are opposite, allowing the third pin to pass through, and the first connecting module 22 and the first protrusion 20 are rotatably connected. The second corresponding hole 24 and the second hole 15 are opposite, both of which allow the fourth pin to pass through, and the first connecting module 22 and the second handle 2 are rotatably connected with the fourth pin as the center. Furthermore, the first connection module 22 includes a first connection member and a second connection member which are arranged in parallel. The first connection member and the second connection member are respectively arranged on both sides of the first protrusion 20 , and are also respectively arranged on both sides of the second handle 2 .

[0052] When the second handle 2 rotates from far away to close to the first handle 1, the second hole 15 moves downward relative to the initial position of the movement process, driving the first connecting module 22 and the housing 18 to move downward.

[0053] The shell 18 is also provided with a first through hole 25 and a second notch 26. The first through hole 25 is relatively arranged to penetrate along the first direction, and the first through hole 25 is opposite to the second movable hole 9, and the second movable hole 9 covers the area passed by the first through hole 25 during the movement. The first through hole 25 is adapted to the first movable pin 11, and no additional space is provided in the first through hole 25 for the first movable pin 11 to move, so that when the shell 18 moves up and down, the first movable pin 11 follows the movement, and the first movable pin 11 slides in the second movable hole 9 during the movement. In other words, when the shell 18 moves within a certain range, it will not cause the movement of the inner core part 5. The second notch 26 is located at the top position of the shell 18, and is relatively arranged on the side wall of the shell 18 to penetrate along the first direction, and its depth extends toward the direction where the handle mechanism is located. Figure 8 As shown, two opposite side walls forming the second notch 26 are provided with gaps 27 extending in the same direction as the housing 18 .

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, the middle shell 19 is cylindrical and is arranged inside the outer shell 18, and a receiving space is arranged therein. The inner core part 5 of the first handle 1 at least partially extends into the receiving space of the middle shell 19, and the middle shell 19 is connected to the third handle 3. Specifically, the middle shell 19 at least partially extends into the outer shell 18 to the receiving space, and the outer shell 18 covers the upper part of the middle shell 19, and after the two are connected, the outer shell 18 is higher than the middle shell 19 in the vertical direction. The middle shell 19 covers the upper part of the inner core part 5, and after the two are connected, the middle shell 19 is higher than the inner core part 5 in the vertical direction.

[0055] The middle shell 19 is provided with a second protrusion 28 protruding from the middle shell 19 at one end close to the third handle 3, and a second preset opening 29 is provided on the second protrusion 28. The middle shell 19 and the third handle 3 are connected through a second connecting module 32, which is in a strip shape and is provided with a first positioning hole 30 and a second positioning hole 31 arranged up and down, the first positioning hole 30 is located above the second positioning hole 31, the first positioning hole 30 and the second preset opening 29 are opposite, and the fifth pin is allowed to pass through, so that the second connecting module 32 and the second protrusion 28 are rotatably connected. The second positioning hole 31 is rotatably connected to the first pin. Further, the second connecting module 32 includes a third connecting member and a fourth connecting member arranged in parallel, and the third connecting member and the fourth connecting member are respectively arranged on both sides of the second protrusion 28, and are also respectively arranged on both sides of the third handle 3.

[0056] When the third handle 3 moves and rotates from the far side toward the first handle 1 , the first opening 16 moves upward relative to the open position, and the middle shell 19 moves upward accordingly.

[0057] The middle shell 19 is also provided with a second through hole 33, a third through hole 34 and a third movable hole 35 which penetrate along the first direction. The second through hole 33 is provided on the side wall of the middle shell 19, and is located in an inner position above the second preset opening 29, and the inner position is a position close to the axis of the first handle 1. The second through hole 33 is opposite to the first movable hole 8, and the first movable hole 8 covers the area where the second through hole 33 is located. The second movable pin 12 passes through the first movable hole 8 and the second through hole 33 at the same time. Since the shape of the second through hole 33 is consistent with the outer edge of the second movable pin 12, there is no interference that can produce relative movement when the second movable pin 12 is inserted into the second through hole 33. When the middle shell 19 moves, the second movable pin 12 follows the movement and moves relatively in the first movable hole 8, without affecting the state of the outer shell 18. The third through hole 34 is located near the top of the middle shell 19 and exposed in the second notch 26. The third moving pin 44 passes through the third through hole 34. The outer edges of the third through hole 34 and the third moving pin 44 are consistent, so that the two are relatively fixed when connected. When the middle shell 19 moves, the third moving pin 44 is driven to move with it. The third moving pin 44 will be used as an expansion piece. The third moving hole 35 is located between the second through hole 33 and the third through hole 34. The third moving hole 35 is in a long strip shape. The third moving hole 35 corresponds to the first through hole 25 and the second moving hole 9. The area covered by the first through hole 25 overlaps with the area covered by the third moving hole 35, and the first through hole 25 is within the area covered by the third moving hole 35. When the outer shell 18 moves, the first moving pin 11 fixed relatively to the first through hole 25 will move in the third moving hole 35 without affecting the position and state of the middle shell 19. The length of the third moving hole 35 in its extension direction is greater than the length corresponding to the second moving hole 9.

[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, the front end of the middle shell 19 has a first side wall 36 and a second side wall 37 protruding from the extension direction and arranged opposite to each other to form a notch 38. The first side wall 36 and the second side wall 37 are evenly arranged at intervals, and both are at least partially covered by the third through hole 34. The upper edges of the first side wall 36 and the second side wall 37 are arc-shaped, and the upper end lengths of the first and second side walls are shorter than the lower end lengths in the cross section perpendicular to the first direction. Through the above arrangement, after the titanium rod 43 is placed horizontally, its side walls can be clamped at the arc-shaped edges of the first and second side walls, and the interval between the two side walls on the middle shell 19 provides freedom for the opening of the connector 39.

[0059] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the rod press also includes a connector 39, which includes a base 40 and two opposite support rods 41 arranged on the base 40. The base 40 has a hollow space, and its extension direction is the same as the extension direction of the accommodating space of the outer shell 18 and the middle shell 19. In the second direction, the length of the middle part of the base 40 is less than the length of the lower part of the base 40, the length of the lower part of the base 40 is less than the length of the upper part of the base 40, and the length of the upper part of the base 40 is equal to the length of the inner core part 5. The plane formed by the second direction and the first direction is perpendicular to the extension direction of the inner core part 5. The lower part of the base 40 is adapted to the lower part of the first notch 10, the middle part of the base 40 is adapted to the upper part of the first notch 10, and the upper part of the base 40 covers the upper part of the inner core part 5. Through the above arrangement, the inner core part 5 and the connector 39 are relatively fixedly plugged in, and when the inner core part 5 moves in its extension direction, the connector 39 will follow the movement. The length of the support rod 41 in the extension direction is greater than the depth of the second notch 26, so that part of the support rod 41 is hidden inside the housing 18; in the cross section perpendicular to the second direction, the width of the top of the support rod 41 is relatively narrow, and its width gradually increases as it extends toward the bottom, and the top of the support rod 41 is adapted to the gap 27 on the side wall of the housing 18 forming the second notch 26, and the support rod 41 at least partially covers the side wall forming the second notch 26. A groove is provided on the inner side of the support rod 41 to weaken the rigidity of the support rod 41 and facilitate the deformation of the support rod 41. A clamping groove 45 is provided on the top of the support rod 41, and the clamping grooves 45 on the two support rods 41 are arranged oppositely, and the grooves are recessed in the direction away from each other. The clamping groove 45 is used to clamp the nail cap of the screw. The distance between the two support rods 41 in the middle of the connector 39 is shorter than the distance between other positions, and the distance between the two support rods 41 in the middle of the connector 39 is smaller than the diameter of the third movable pin 44, and the distance between the two support rods 41 in other positions of the connector 39 is equal to the diameter of the third movable pin 44, so that when the third movable pin 44 is located in the middle of the connector 39, the two support rods 41 move away from each other to open the connector 39; when the third movable pin 44 moves to other positions, the two support rods 41 remain in a natural state. By moving the third movable pin 44, the distance between the two support rods 41 is changed, including when the third movable pin 44 is moved to the middle of the connector 39, the two support rods 41 gradually open, the distance between the two clamping grooves 45 becomes larger to clamp the nail cap, and after clamping, the third movable pin 44 is moved to other positions, the two support rods 41 return to the natural state, and the clamping groove 45 clamps the nail cap relatively.

[0060] Use the rod press to perform the following operations to achieve rod pressing:

[0061] When the second handle 2 is pulled away from the first handle 1 so that the distance between them is maximized, the first connecting module 22 is pushed to move upward, and the shell 18 moves upward accordingly. The third handle 3 is pulled away from the first handle 1 so that the distance between them is maximized, and the second connecting module 32 is pulled downward, thereby driving the middle shell 19 to move downward. The third movable pin 44 moves to the middle of the connecting head 39, and the distance between the two support rods 41 increases. The second notch 26 supporting the shell 18 expands to adapt to the pedicle screw 42, and the nail cap of the pedicle screw 42 is inserted into the clamping groove 45.

[0062] The third handle 3 is pressed down in the direction of the first handle 1 to shorten the distance between them, and the second connecting module 32 is driven to move upward, so that the third movable pin 44 moves upward. After the third movable pin 44 leaves the middle of the connecting head 39, the two support rods 41 become natural, and the distance between them is shortened. The shell 18 clamps the nail cap of the pedicle screw 42. The titanium rod 43 is placed in the remaining space of the second notch 26, that is, the space between the pedicle screw 42 and the top of the middle shell 19, and the third handle 3 is continued to be pressed toward the first handle 1. Under the push of the top of the middle shell 19, the titanium rod 43 is pressed toward the pedicle screw 42 to achieve pre-compression. The second handle 2 is pressed down in the direction of the first handle 1, and the first connecting module 22 drives the shell 18 and the pedicle screw 42 connected thereto downward, and connects with the titanium rod 43, and the titanium rod 43 is clamped into the pedicle screw 42. The third handle 3 and the second handle 2 are pulled apart to the farthest distance from the first handle 1 , and the assembled pedicle screw 42 and titanium rod 43 are separated from the rod presser.
