[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 When the first rod body 12 and the second rod body 22 rotate with the pin 3 as the axis, the first head 11 and the second head 21 are driven to approach or move away from each other, so as to clamp the tendon through the first head 11 and the second head 21; wherein the first head 11 and the second head 21 are both semi-circular hollow tubes. When the first head 11 and the second head 21 are close to each other and pressed against each other, the two groups of semi-circular hollow tubes can be closed into a complete circular tube and thereby fix and clamp the tendon, reducing the probability of damage to the tendon; when the first head 11 and the second head 21 are moved away from each other, it is convenient to put the tendon into or take it out of the single group of semi-circular hollow tubes.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 In order to facilitate the user to drive the first rod body 12 and the second rod body 22 to rotate through the first handle 13 and the second handle 23, the first handle 13 and the second handle 23 are both provided with anti-slip holes 131 for the user to grip tightly. When in use, the fingers are inserted into the anti-slip holes 131 to drive the first handle 13 and the second handle 23 to rotate.

[0044] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , one end of the first tooth head 411 close to the second handle 23 is provided with a first inclined guide surface, and one end of the second tooth head 421 close to the first handle 13 is provided with a second inclined guide surface; when the first handle 13 and the second handle 23 are close to each other, the first inclined guide surface and the second inclined guide surface slide against each other and make the first body 1 and the second body 2 elastically deform along the axis direction of the pin 3, and make the first handle 13 and the second handle 23 move away from each other along the axis direction of the pin 3; when the first tooth head 411 enters the second buckling groove 423, the second tooth head 421 also enters the first buckling groove 413, so that the first body 1 and the second body 2 restore deformation and move close to each other along the axis direction of the pin 3, and at the same time prevent the first handle 13 and the second handle 23 from rotating in the direction of moving away from each other, so as to make the complete circular ring pipe formed by the first head 11 and the second head 21 fixedly clamp the tendon, and reduce the probability of the tendon being separated during the movement of the tendon extractor.

[0045] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , when it is necessary to unlock the first handle 13 and the second handle 23, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are deformed by external force, so that the first handle 13 and the second handle 23 move away from each other along the axis direction of the pin 3, and when the first tooth head 411 completely slides out of the second buckling groove 423 and the second tooth head 421 completely slides out of the first buckling groove 413, the first handle 13 and the second handle 23 are rotated, so as to make the first handle 13 and the second handle 23 rotate in the direction of moving away from each other.

[0046] With reference to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4, the locking assembly 4 further comprises a limiting piece arranged on the first head 11 and the second head 21, the limiting piece is used for preventing the first head 11 and the second head 21 from moving transversely along the axis of the pin 3 when the first body 1 and the second body 2 are deformed; the limiting piece is a limiting protrusion 43 fixedly arranged on the first head 11, the limiting protrusion 43 is located on the end face of the first head 11 close to the second head 21, and the limiting protrusion 43 is a long rectangular block; a groove 211 matched with the limiting protrusion 43 is arranged on the end face of the second head 21 close to the first head 11; when the first head 11 and the second head 21 are closed to form a complete annular pipe, the limiting protrusion 43 is completely matched in the groove 211, the limiting protrusion 43 is matched in the groove 211, and then the first head 11 and the second head 21 are prevented from moving transversely along the axis of the pin 3, so that the purpose of protecting the tendon in the annular pipe is achieved.

[0047] With reference to Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the first head 11 and the second head 21 are close to each other, in order to facilitate the limiting protrusion 43 to enter the groove 211, an inclined round corner is arranged at one end of the limiting protrusion 43 close to the groove 211, and the limiting protrusion 43 is guided into the groove 211 through the inclined round corner, thereby facilitating the guiding of the limiting protrusion 43 into the groove 211.

[0048] The working principle of the embodiment 1 of the application is as follows:

[0049] The user makes the first handle 13 and the second handle 23 away from each other, so as to put the tendon to be clamped into the first head 11 or the second head 21, and then makes the first handle 13 and the second handle 23 close to each other, so as to fix and clamp the tendon through the closed annular pipe of the first head 11 and the second head 21, the first bevel gear 41 and the second bevel gear 42 are matched with each other under the elastic deformation of the first body 1 and the second body 2, thereby locking the first body 1 and the second body 2, and the limiting piece and the groove 211 are matched with each other, thereby preventing the first head 11 and the second head 21 from moving transversely when the first body 1 and the second body 2 are deformed, so as to reduce the probability of tendon disengagement or injury during clamping of the tendon extractor.

[0050] Embodiment 2

[0051] With reference to Figure 5 and Figure 6The difference between the embodiment and the embodiment 1 is that the first inclined tooth 41 comprises a first locking plate 414 and a plurality of groups of first ratchets 415 arranged at intervals, and the second inclined tooth 42 comprises a second locking plate 424 and a plurality of groups of second ratchets 425 arranged at intervals. When the first handle 13 and the second handle 23 are close to each other, the first ratchets 415 and the second ratchets 425 are engaged with each other. As the number of engagement of the first ratchets 415 and the second ratchets 425 increases, the locking force between the first body 1 and the second body 2 also increases, thereby reducing the probability that the first head 11 and the second head 21 are far away from each other.

[0052] With reference to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As the plurality of groups of first ratchets 415 and the plurality of groups of ratchets are engaged with each other, the locking force required by a single group of first ratchets 415 and second ratchets 425 is smaller, thereby making the depth between the plurality of groups of first ratchets 415 and the plurality of groups of second ratchets 425 shallower, and reducing the deformation amount of the first body 1 and the second body 2 elastically deformed along the axis direction of the pin 3.

[0053] The working principle of the embodiment 2 of the application is as follows:

[0054] When the first handle 13 and the second handle 23 are close to each other, the plurality of groups of first ratchets 415 and the plurality of groups of second ratchets 425 are engaged with each other. By controlling the number of engagement between the first ratchets 415 and the second ratchets 425, the locking force between the first body 1 and the second body 2 can be controlled, so as to reduce the probability that the tendon is separated during the movement of the tendon harvester.

[0055] The above are the preferred embodiments of the application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made on the basis of the structure, shape, and principle of the application should be covered within the protection scope of the application.
