[0032] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the preferred embodiment of the splint for external fixation of long bone fractures of the utility model comprises:
[0033] The chain plate 1 comprises a plurality of strip-shaped plate bodies 11 which are hinged in sequence;
[0034] A connecting plate 2, wherein the first end of the connecting plate 2 is connected to the first end of the chain plate 1, the second end of the connecting plate 2 is provided with a guide groove 21, the second end of the chain plate 1 is provided with a guide protrusion 111, and the guide protrusion 111 is slidably arranged in the guide groove 21; the connecting plate 2 and the chain plate 1 form an annular structure, and the annular structure is used to be sleeved on the outside of the limb of the long bone;
[0035] An adjusting knob 3, wherein the adjusting knob 3 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 2;
[0036] A pulling rope 4, wherein the first end of the pulling rope 4 is connected to the guide protrusion 111, and the second end of the pulling rope 4 is wound around the peripheral side of the adjusting knob. The adjusting knob is rotated to increase the length of the pulling rope 4 wound around the outer side of the adjusting knob, so that the pulling rope 4 pulls the guide protrusion 111 to move toward the first end of the chain plate 1, so that the annular structure clamps the limb;
[0037] The locking mechanism is arranged on the connecting plate 2 and is used to fix the adjusting knob 3 .
[0038] Specifically, in the splint for external fixation of long bone fractures of the utility model, the adjusting knob 3 plays the role of retracting the traction rope 4. By rotating the adjusting knob 3, the winding length of the strip traction rope 4 on the outside of the adjusting knob 3 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the size of the annular cavity of the annular structure surrounded by the chain plate 1 and the connecting plate 2, thereby adjusting the clamping degree of the annular structure on the limb. When it is necessary to increase or decrease the clamping degree of the annular structure on the limb, it is only necessary to rotate the adjusting knob 3. After the knob adjustment is completed, the adjusting knob 3 is fixed with the locking mechanism, so that the annular structure can maintain the desired clamping state on the limb, thereby facilitating the rapid and smooth external fixation of the splint.
[0039] Among them, the locking mechanism includes a fixing cylinder 51 and a locking screw 52. The fixing cylinder 51 is sleeved on the outside of the adjusting knob 3 and fixed to the connecting plate 2. The cylinder wall of the fixing cylinder 51 is provided with a threaded hole, and the locking screw 52 is installed in the threaded hole. Rotating the locking screw 52 can make the threaded end of the screw abut against the outer peripheral side of the adjusting knob to fix the adjusting knob 3.
[0040] In order to further improve the locking degree of the locking screw 52 on the adjusting knob 3, in this embodiment, the second end of the pulling rope 4 is wound around the outer side of the lower end of the adjusting knob 3; a plurality of limiting grooves 311 are surrounded by the middle part of the outer side of the adjusting knob 3, and rotating the locking screw 52 can make the threaded end of the locking screw 52 extend into the limiting groove 311 or come out of the limiting groove 311.

In order to facilitate the installation of the splint for external fixation of long bone fractures on the outside of the limb, in this embodiment, the first end of the connecting plate 2 is detachably connected to the first end of the chain plate 1. Specifically, when installing the splint for external fixation of long bone fractures, the first end of the chain plate 1 is disconnected from the first end of the connecting plate 2, and after the chain plate 1 is wrapped around the outside of the limb, the first end of the chain plate 1 is connected to the first end of the connecting plate 2 to form a ring structure. In this embodiment, the strip plate body 11 located at the first end of the chain plate 1 is provided with a first mounting hole, the first end of the first connecting plate 2 is provided with a second mounting hole, and the rotating shaft is penetrated in the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole, so that the first end of the connecting plate 2 is hinged to the first end of the chain plate 1; wherein, the chain plate 1 and the connecting plate 2 can be detachably connected by inserting the first rotating shaft in the first mounting hole. Specifically, the first rotating shaft can be detachably inserted in the first mounting hole in a manner that threadedly connected fixing screws are connected to the two end ports of the first mounting hole. By removing a fixing screw, the rotating shaft can be removed from the first mounting hole, thereby realizing the disassembly of the connecting plate 2 and the chain plate 1.

Specifically, a first protrusion 611 is provided on the side of the first plate body 61 away from the chain plate 1 of the first splint, the first end of the threaded telescopic rod 63 is hinged on the first protrusion 611, the second plate body is provided on the side of the chain plate 1 of the second splint away from the second splint, and the second end of the threaded telescopic rod 63 is hinged on the second protrusion 621.
[0046] The arrangement of the first protrusion 611 and the second protrusion 621 enables the first plate body 61 and the second plate body 62 to be shaped into a 180° state when the threaded telescopic rod 63 is extended, thereby increasing the adjustment range of the knee joint angle.
[0047] Among them, the threaded telescopic rod 63 includes a first screw, a second screw and a screw sleeve. The thread rotation directions of the first screw and the second screw are opposite. The first end of the first screw is threadedly connected to the first end of the screw sleeve, the second end of the first screw is hinged to the first protrusion 611, the first end of the second screw is hinged to the second end of the screw sleeve, and the second end of the second screw is hinged to the second protrusion 621. By rotating the screw sleeve, the length of the threaded telescopic rod 63 can be adjusted.
[0048] In summary, the splint for external fixation of long bone fractures of the utility model comprises a chain plate 1, a connecting plate 2, an adjusting knob 3, a pulling rope 4 and a locking mechanism, wherein the first end of the connecting plate 2 is connected to the first end of the chain plate 1, the second end of the connecting plate 2 is provided with a guide groove 21, the second end of the chain plate 1 is provided with a guide protrusion 111, and the guide protrusion 111 is slidably arranged in the guide groove 21; the connecting plate 2 and the chain plate 1 form an annular structure, and the annular structure is used to be sleeved on the outside of the limb of the long bone, the adjusting knob 3 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 2, the first end of the pulling rope 4 is connected to the guide protrusion 111, and the pulling rope 4 is provided with a guide protrusion 111. The second end is wound around the circumference of the adjusting knob, and rotating the adjusting knob can increase the length of the pulling rope 4 wound around the outside of the adjusting knob, so that the pulling rope 4 pulls the guide protrusion 111 to move toward the first end of the chain plate 1, thereby shrinking the annular structure, so that the annular structure clamps the limb. After the annular structure clamps the limb, the locking mechanism is used to fix the adjusting knob 3 to maintain the clamping state; therefore, the splint for external fixation of long bone fractures of the utility model can accurately adjust the degree of clamping of the annular structure on the limb by rotating the adjusting knob 3, so as to facilitate the rapid and smooth external fixation of the splint.
[0049] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention.
