[0031] The electric telescopic rod 13 and the tension sensor 14 are all commercially available products, which can be purchased, the electric telescopic rod 13 is used for providing tension, and the tension sensor 14 is used for detecting the size of the tension, so that the doctor can clearly know the real-time tension on the traction rope 4.

[0032] In order to ensure the structural strength of the horizontal mounting plate 12, two triangular reinforcing rib plates are arranged at the connecting position of the horizontal mounting plate 12 and the vertical mounting plate 11.

[0037] The position of the vertical mounting plate 11 can be fixed by the cooperation of the third hand screw bolt 25 and the positioning hole 24, so as to prevent the vertical mounting plate 11 from moving freely in the horizontal direction. When the position of the vertical mounting plate 11 needs to be adjusted, the third hand screw bolt 25 is only loosened.

[0038] The control panel 26 is fixed on the vertical mounting plate 11, and the PLC programmable controller 27 is fixed on the surface of the mounting plate 1 facing the hospital bed 7. The control panel 26, the electric telescopic rod 13 and the tension sensor 14 are electrically connected with the PLC programmable controller 27. It should be noted that the connection wires of the parts and the PLC programmable controller 27 are not shown in the figure.

[0039] The control panel 26 has mechanical buttons and a display screen (not shown in the figure), and the size of the tension can be set through the mechanical buttons. The set tension value and the tension value detected by the tension sensor 14 can be displayed through the display. The PLC programmable controller 27 and the control panel 26 are both prior art.

[0040] Further, the traction bow 2 is a U-shaped traction bow, and the top surface and the bottom surface of the traction bow 2 are both provided with a sliding groove 28. Two connecting columns 30 are fixed on the U-shaped connecting block 3, and the two connecting columns 30 are respectively inserted into and slidably connected with the two sliding grooves 28. A fourth hand screw bolt 31 is threadedly connected to the top of the U-shaped connecting block 3, and a connecting ring 32 is fixed to the end of the U-shaped connecting block 3. One end of the traction rope 4 is fixedly connected with the connecting ring 32.

[0041] Through the cooperation of the connecting column 30 and the sliding groove 28, the position of the U-shaped connecting block 3 can be adjusted, so that the position of the traction rope 4 on the traction bow 2 is more reasonable, thereby improving the correction effect.

[0042] The two ends of the traction bow 2 are both threadedly connected with a connecting screw 33. One end of the connecting screw 33 is provided with a nut 34, and the other end of the connecting screw 33 is provided with a second threaded hole 29. The connecting screw 33 is used to be threadedly connected with the stud fixed on the skull of the patient. In the embodiment, a locking nut 35 is also threadedly connected with the connecting screw 33, and the position of the connecting screw 33 can be prevented from being changed through the locking nut 35.

[0043] An eccentric skull traction method: the product is hung on the head of the hospital bed 7 through the two hooks 6, and then the two first hand screw bolts 9 are rotated to make the two blocking blocks 10 abut against the vertical rail on the head of the bed. After being tightened, the mounting plate 1 cannot move in the left-right direction.

[0044] Then loosen the two locking nuts 35, adjust the distance between the two connecting rods 33, put the traction bow 2 on the patient's head, then rotate the connecting rods 33 through the nuts 34, make the second threaded hole 29 on the connecting rods 33 connect with the connecting rod fixed on the patient's skull, and then fix the two connecting rods 33 through the locking nuts 35 so that the connecting rods 33 cannot rotate freely.

[0045] Then loosen the fourth hand screw 31, adjust the position of the U-shaped connecting block 3, and align it with the central axis of the human body. After adjusting the position, tighten the fourth hand screw 31 so that the U-shaped connecting block 3 cannot move further. Connect one end of the traction rope 4 with the connecting ring 32, then adjust the horizontal position of one of the tension applying devices so that the grooved pulley 16 on it is aligned with the connecting ring 32. The adjustment method is to loosen the third hand screw 25 and move the vertical connecting plate 11. When the grooved pulley 16 is aligned with the connecting ring 32, tighten the third hand screw 25, and the vertical connecting plate 11 is fixed on the mounting plate 1. The other end of the traction rope 4 is fixedly connected with the tension sensor 14 after passing through the grooved pulley 16. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 13 should be in the maximum extension position, that is, the total length of the electric telescopic rod 13 is at the maximum value. Manually operate the control panel 26 to set the tension value, then press the start button, and the PLC programmable controller 27 receives the set tension value and the start signal to control the electric telescopic rod 13 to retract. The tension sensor 14 measures the tension value on the traction rope 4 in real time and sends the tension signal to the PLC programmable controller 27. When the tension value is equal to the set tension value, the PLC programmable controller 27 controls the electric telescopic rod 13 to stop retracting. If the patient moves his head or body and causes the tension value to change, if the tension value increases, the PLC programmable controller 27 controls the electric telescopic rod 13 to extend until the tension value equals the set tension value. If the tension value decreases, the PLC programmable controller 27 controls the electric telescopic rod 13 to retract until the tension value equals the set tension value. The set tension value and the current tension value are displayed on the display screen of the control panel 26 for the doctor to check.

[0046] Another traction rope 4 is also needed for eccentric skull traction. If the patient's head is tilted to the left, the traction rope 4 is needed to connect the left connecting rod 33. If the patient's head is tilted to the right, the traction rope 4 is needed to connect the right connecting rod 33. Similarly, the position of the other tension applying device also needs to be adjusted so that the grooved pulley 16 on it is aligned with the connection point of the traction rope 4 and the connecting rod 33. The adjustment method is the same as above. Then set the tension value as required.

[0047] The above detailed description of the structure, features and effects of the present application is based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. The above description is only the preferred embodiments of the present application, but the present application is not limited to the embodiments shown in the drawings. Any changes or modifications made in accordance with the concept of the present application, or equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, are still within the scope of the present application.
