[0040] Example 1

[0041] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment proposes a ball head holder of a first structure, which includes a base 11 , a striking handle 12 , a striking head 13 and a clamping assembly 14 .

[0042] The base 11 includes a cylindrical body 111 and two wing plates 112 located at the lower portion of the body 111. The two wing plates 112 are spaced apart from each other and fixedly connected to the lower portion of the body 111. The body 111 has a through hole 1111 arranged along the axial direction of the body 111, and each wing plate 112 is provided with a hinge hole 1121 at both ends of the body 111 along the radial direction.

[0043] The striking handle 12 includes a gripping rod 121, a striking link 122, and a striking boss 123, which are axially connected to the gripping rod 121. The striking link 122 and the striking boss 123 are located at the lower and upper portions of the gripping rod 121, respectively. The outer diameter of the striking link 122 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole 1111 of the barrel 111, allowing the striking link 122 to slide within the through hole 1111. The lower end of the striking link 122 extends outside the through hole 1111 and is fixedly connected to the striking head 13. The outer diameter of the gripping rod 121 is larger than the through hole 1111 of the barrel 111, which limits the sliding distance of the striking link 122 within the through hole 1111. The striking boss 123 is a disc-shaped structure formed at the top of the gripping rod 121, which increases the striking surface and facilitates the striking operation during surgery.

[0044] The striking head 13 is located below the cylinder 111 and is fixedly connected to the lower end of the striking connecting rod 122 passing through the through hole 1111. The bottom of the striking head 13 is a spherical striking surface 131 that is matched with the spherical surface of the ball head test mold 5.

[0045] The clamping assembly 14 is used to clamp and fix the ball head test mold 5. The clamping assembly 14 includes two clamps 141, which are hingedly connected to the radial ends of the two wing plates 112. The clamps 141 are hingedly connected to the wing plates 112 via a rotating shaft located in the hinge hole 1121, so that the two clamps 141 can be opened and closed. Each clamp 141 is also equipped with a torsion spring. The fixed legs at both ends of the torsion spring are respectively fixed to the clamp 141 and the wing plate 112. The torsion spring generates an elastic force on the respective clamps 141 to close the clamps, so that the clamps 141 can clamp and fix the ball head test mold 5. After the clamps 141 are fixed to the wing plate 112, a space for accommodating the striking head 13 and the ball head test mold 5 is formed at the bottom of the two clamps 141.

[0046] A fitting block 142 is also fixedly mounted on the end of the clamp 141. Fitting block 142 is made of a soft material, such as plastic, silicone, or rubber, with a lower hardness than the ball-end test mold 5, to prevent damage to the ball-end test mold 5 during clamping. Fitting block 142 can be secured to the clamp 141 by bonding, pinning, or taper locking. Fitting block 142 also has a fitting surface 1421 that fits against the outer wall of the ball-end test mold 5. This increases the gripping force of the clamp 141 when securing the ball-end test mold 5, preventing the ball-end test mold 5 from accidentally loosening and falling.

[0047] When in use, manually open the clamp 141, place the ball head trial mold 5 or the prosthesis between the two fitting blocks 142, and then loosen the clamp 141. The ball head trial mold 5 is clamped by the elastic force of the torsion spring of the clamp 141. Hold the holding rod 121 of the striking handle 12, place the ball head trial mold 5 or the prosthesis in the designated position, and then use the striking tool to knock the striking boss 123 until the ball head trial mold 5 or the prosthesis is installed. Finally, open the clamp 141 again, loosen the ball head trial mold 5 or the prosthesis to complete the installation of the ball head trial mold 5 or the prosthesis. The ball head holder provided in this embodiment is combined with the ball head clamping device and the striking device, which facilitates the installation of the ball head trial mold 5 or the prosthesis. In addition, the clamp of the clamping assembly 14 can also adjust the opening and closing angle according to the size of the ball head, and can adapt to ball heads of different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the flexibility and efficiency of intraoperative operations.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 The second embodiment of the present invention illustrates a ball head holder with a second structure. This ball head holder is essentially the same as the first embodiment, comprising a base 21, a striking handle 22, a striking head 23, and a clamping assembly 24. The difference is that the clamping assembly 24 of the second embodiment is a single-sided opening and closing structure. The remaining components are identical to those in Example 1 and are therefore not described in detail. Specifically, the clamping assembly 24 in this embodiment also includes two clamps. One clamp 241a is hingedly connected to the base 21, while the other clamp 241b is rigidly fixed to the base 21. Clamp 241a can open and close relative to clamp 241b to accommodate ball heads of varying sizes and shapes.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] like Figures 8-11 As shown, Figure 8 The third structure of the ball head holder is shown in the figure. The ball head holder is basically the same as the ball head holder of the first structure, and also includes a base 31, a striking handle 32, a striking head 33 and a clamping assembly 34. The difference is that the base 31 and the clamping assembly 34 of the ball head holder of the third structure are different from the base and the clamping assembly in the first structure.

[0052] See also Figures 8-11 The base 31 in this embodiment is a columnar cylinder 311, which has a through hole 3111 arranged along the axial direction of the cylinder 311, and a plurality of grooves 3112 are provided at the lower part of the cylinder 311. The plurality of grooves 3112 divide the lower part of the cylinder 311 into a plurality of spaced fixing parts 3113, and each fixing part 3113 is provided with a hinge hole 3114.

[0053] The striking handle 32 has the same structure as that of Example 1, similarly comprising an axially connected gripping rod, a striking rod, and a striking boss. The striking rod and striking boss are located at the lower and upper portions of the gripping rod, respectively. The outer diameter of the striking rod is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole of the barrel, allowing it to slide within the through hole. The lower end of the striking rod extends beyond the through hole and is fixedly connected to the striking head. The outer diameter of the gripping rod is larger than the through hole of the barrel, limiting the sliding distance of the striking rod within the through hole. The striking boss is a disc-shaped structure formed at the top of the gripping rod, which increases the striking surface and facilitates the striking operation during surgery.

[0054] The structure of the striking head 33 is the same as that of Example 1. The striking head 33 is located below the cylindrical body 311 and is fixedly connected to the lower end of the striking connecting rod 322 passing through the through hole 3111. The bottom of the striking head 33 is a spherical socket-shaped striking surface that cooperates with the spherical surface of the ball head test mold 5.

[0055] The clamping assembly 34 is used to clamp and fix the ball head test mold 5. The clamping assembly 34 includes a plurality of clamps 341. The plurality of clamps 341 are located in the plurality of grooves 3112 at the lower portion of the cylinder 311 and are hingedly connected to the lower portion of the cylinder 311. Each clamp 341 is hingedly connected to the cylinder 311 via a rotating shaft located in the hinge hole 3114, so that the plurality of clamps 341 can be opened and closed. Each clamp 341 can also be installed with a torsion spring. The fixing legs at both ends of the torsion spring are respectively fixed to the clamp 341 and the cylinder 311. The torsion spring generates an elastic force on the respective clamps 341 to close the clamps, so that the clamps 341 can clamp and fix the ball head test mold 5. After the clamps 341 are fixed to the cylinder 311, a space for accommodating the striking head 33 and the ball head test mold 5 is formed at the lower portion of the plurality of clamps 341. In order to increase the gripping force of the clamp 341, a fitting block may be fixedly mounted on the end of the clamp 341. The structure of the fitting block is the same as that of the fitting block in Example 1 and will not be described in detail here.

[0056] The clamping assembly 34 in this embodiment further includes a knob 342. The knob 342 is a cylindrical structure that matches the barrel 311. The knob 342 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the barrel 311 and is threadedly connected to the barrel 311. The outer circumferential wall of the barrel 311 is provided with an external thread, and the inner circumferential wall of the knob 342 is provided with an internal thread that matches the external thread, so that the knob 342 is connected to the barrel 311 and can move along the axial direction of the barrel 311. In addition, during the downward movement of the knob 342, the inner wall of the knob 342 will also squeeze the claw body of the clamp 341 until the ball head test mold 5 is clamped.

[0057] During use, manually open the clamp 341, place the ball head test mold 5 or prosthesis between the multiple fitting blocks, then release the clamp 341. The ball head test mold 5 is clamped by the elastic force of the torsion spring of the clamp 341, and then the knob 342 is rotated clockwise. During the downward movement of the knob 342, the inner wall of the knob 342 will also squeeze the claw body of the clamp 341 until the ball head test mold 5 is clamped. Hold the gripping rod 321 of the striking handle 32, place the ball head test mold 5 or prosthesis in the designated position, and then strike the striking boss 323 with a striking tool until the ball head test mold 5 or prosthesis is installed. Then, rotate the knob 342 counterclockwise to move the knob upward and disengage the clamp 341. At the same time, open the clamp 341 and release the ball head test mold 5 or prosthesis to complete the installation of the ball head test mold 5 or prosthesis. The ball head holder provided in this embodiment combines a ball head clamping device and a striking device to facilitate the installation of the ball head test mold 5 or prosthesis. In addition, the clamp of the clamping assembly 34 can also adjust the opening and closing angle according to the size of the ball head, and can adapt to ball heads of different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the flexibility and efficiency of intraoperative operations.

[0058] While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, it should be understood that, after reading the above teachings of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make various changes or modifications to the present invention. Such equivalents also fall within the scope of the claims appended hereto.
