[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0025] Example 1: A universal ball, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , including a main body 1, an end cover 2, a large ball 3, a small ball 4 and a base 6. The cavity of the main body 1 is cylindrical, which reduces the difficulty of processing. A base 6 is rotatably arranged inside the main body 1, and a sliding groove 601 is opened on the base 6. Nine small balls 4 are placed on the sliding groove 601. The nine small balls 4 are placed together with the large ball 3. The end cover 2 is slidably arranged on the main body 1. A mounting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the main body 1. The bolts are inserted into the mounting holes on the mounting plate 10, and then the bolts are tightened, so there is no need to drill additional holes, which is convenient for fixing the main body 1. A sealing gasket 11 is fixedly connected to the large ball 3. The sealing gasket 11 reduces the gap between the end cover 2 and the large ball 3, thereby preventing foreign matter from falling into the inside of the main body 1, increasing friction, and affecting the rotation of the large ball 3 and the small ball 4.
[0026] When the universal ball is needed, first fix the main body 1 on the operating table, place the base 6 inside the cavity inside the main body 1, then place multiple small balls 4 inside the sliding groove 601, then place the large ball 3 on the small ball 4, and then cover the end cover 2 on the main body 1. By designing the cavity of the main body 1 into a cylindrical shape, the processing difficulty is reduced, and the small ball 4 is stored on the sliding groove 601, so as to avoid the small ball 4 from being stuck due to a large amount of accumulation, and then open the operating table to rotate the universal ball, and then distinguish the materials on the operating table.
[0027] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 A retaining frame 5 is provided on the base 6, and a limiting groove 501 is provided on the retaining frame 5. Nine positioning holes 502 are provided on the limiting groove 501. The aperture of the positioning hole 502 is smaller than the diameter of the ball 4, so that the ball 4 will not fall out of the positioning hole 502.
[0028] When placing the small ball 4, the small ball 4 is placed on the positioning hole 502, so that the positioning hole 502 limits the small ball 4, so that the small ball 4 cannot roll freely, thereby preventing the large ball 3 from deviating and getting stuck.
[0029] See also Figure 1 and Figure 6 Two card slots 7 are provided inside the main body 1, and two card blocks 8 are fixedly connected to the end cover 2. The card blocks 8 can be inserted into the card slots 7. A shielding ring 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the end cover 2. The card slot 7 is an L-shaped slot. The card block 8 is inserted into the card slot 7 as the inside, thereby limiting the end cover 2 to prevent the end cover 2 from loosening.
[0030] When assembling the universal ball, cover the end cover 2 on the main body 1, and then rotate the shielding ring 9 to make the block 8 fit into the slot 7, thereby fixing the end cover 2, and the shielding ring 9 shields the slot 7 to prevent dust and other impurities from falling into the slot 7. When the end cover 2 needs to be opened, rotate the shielding ring 9 in the opposite direction to disengage the block 8 from the slot 7, and then pull the end cover 2 upward, thereby achieving the purpose of facilitating the opening of the end cover 2.
