[0035] Embodiment 2

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] S1. When performing minimally invasive spinal surgery, a surgical channel needs to be established. At this time, the doctor needs to use a retractor to retract the epidermal tissue to establish the surgical channel, thereby exposing the surgical field for the doctor to perform surgical operations.

[0038] S2. Insert the retractor into the patient's incision. When it reaches a certain position, the doctor rotates the rotating rod 23 counterclockwise. The first gear 231 fixedly installed on the rotating rod 23 drives the rack 22 to move downward. The middle pressing plate 211 fixedly installed with the rack 22 moves downward simultaneously. The middle pressing plate 211 slides along the second chute 212 to press the telescopic pressure rod 213 to expand towards both ends. The upper end of the telescopic pressure rod 213 slides towards both sides along the third chute 215. The middle part of the telescopic pressure rod 213 rotates around the central fixed rod 214, driving the lower fixedly connected connecting arm 12 to expand outward. Therefore, when the middle pressing plate 211 moves downward, it will drive the connecting arm 12 to expand outward around the hinge mechanism 13. The arc-shaped hook feet 15 at the bottom of the retracting piece 11 will hook the end of the muscle, thereby driving the muscle to be stretched, ensuring the vision of the middle channel of the retractor, facilitating the operation. After the stretching is completed, the dial 241 locks the second gear 232 to prevent the second gear 232 from rotating back, avoiding the retraction of the retractor and affecting the operation.

[0039] S3. At this time, the doctor turns on the illumination by pressing the lighting button 2332. The

[0040] Specific operation: Press the button for the first time, and the first-layer light strip 141 lights up; press the button for the second time, the first-layer light strip 141 goes out, and the second-layer light strip 141 lights up; press the button for the third time, the second-layer light strip 141 goes out, and the third-layer light strip 141 lights up; press the button for the fourth time, the third-layer light strip 141 goes out, and the bottommost light strip 141 located on the inner wall of the arc-shaped hook foot 15 lights up; press the button for the fifth time, the bottommost light strip 141 goes out, and all the light strips 141 light up; press the button for the sixth time, all the light strips 141 go out.

[0041] S4. After the operation is completed, slide the slider 244 along the chute 242. The slider 244 drives the dial 241 to rotate around the fixed block 245 at the center of the dial 241, so that the tip of the dial 241 moves away from the second gear 232. After the second gear 232 is no longer clamped by the dial 241, due to the pressure of the muscle, the retracting piece 11 retracts, driving the connecting arm 12 to rotate, and then driving the middle pressing plate 211 to move upward. The rack 22 moves upward, driving the first gear 231 to rotate clockwise. The spring 243 in the chute 242 rebounds to press the slider 244 back to the starting position, and the dial 241 contacts the second gear 232 again. The retractor returns to the initial state; the doctor removes the retractor from the incision, and the whole process is completed.

[0042] Embodiment 3

[0043] The light strip 141 is electrically connected to the lighting control component 233, and the lighting control component 233 is installed on the rotating rod 23. The rotation angle of the rotating rod 23 is not large, and it needs to retract after use. Therefore, normal use will not cause problems such as curling or winding of the related equipment for electrical connection.
