[0027] Example 2

[0028] In this embodiment, the hook assembly is a key part of the device, wherein the housing 101 is the base of the entire hook assembly, which is used to accommodate and protect the internal mechanical structure. Inside the housing 101, an adjustment block 102 is rotatably arranged, and the adjustment block 102 can rotate freely. Two cylindrical card blocks are fixedly arranged inside the housing 101, and the function of the card blocks is to interact with the adjustment teeth 103 to control the movement of the telescopic plate 104. The telescopic plate 104 is slidably sleeved inside the housing 101, allowing it to move back and forth inside the housing 101. The end of the telescopic plate 104 is rotatably connected to the adjustment teeth 103, so that the movement of the telescopic plate 104 can drive the adjustment teeth 103 to move. Several card slots are regularly arranged on the adjustment teeth 103, and these card slots match the cylindrical card blocks inside the adjustment block 102. One end of the spring sheet 106 is rotatably connected to the end of the folding hook 105, and the other end is movably contacted with the inner side of the housing 101. The spring sheet 106 can automatically press down and lock the adjusting tooth 103 after the adjustment is completed, so as to realize the function of automatic limiting. The automatic locking mechanism of the spring sheet 106 not only ensures the stability of the retractor during the operation, but also makes the adjustment process faster and more convenient.

[0029] The folding hook 105 is rotatably connected to the front end of the telescopic plate 104 and can be turned out or stored according to the specific needs of the operation. When the folding hook 105 is turned out, it can provide an additional traction site to enhance the fixation ability of the surgical retractor; when it is not needed, the folding hook 105 can be stored to ensure the compactness of the entire device and will not affect the surgical field of view. This design allows the retractor assembly to meet the functionality while also taking into account the different practical application needs during the operation.
