[0017] The present invention will now be described in a clear and complete manner with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a long-arm nail breaker includes a handle 1, a sleeve 2, a core tube 3, a button 4, etc., wherein the structure of the sleeve 2 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the sleeve is a hollow cylinder with a larger outer diameter at its left end. A handle 1 is fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the left end for easy gripping of the breaker. The core tube 3 is nested inside the sleeve 2. A third step 21 is provided on the inner wall of the left end of the sleeve 2, where a spring 5 and a button 4 are placed.
[0019] The button 4 is cylindrical with a through hole along its axis. The left end of the core tube 3 passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to the button. Two circular steps, a first step 41 and a second step 42, are provided around the button's axis on its outer surface. The first step is away from the core tube, and the second step is close to the core tube. The diameter of the first step is larger than the diameter of the second step. The button 4 is coaxially inserted into the left end of the sleeve 2. The first step 41 of the button is located outside the sleeve to prevent the end of the button from completely entering the sleeve. The second step 42 of the button is located inside the sleeve. A spring 5 is placed in the annular space between the second step 42 and the third step 21 of the sleeve. The spring 5 is fitted onto the right end of the button. Thus, when the sleeve 2 remains stationary, pressing the button 4 compresses the spring 5, causing the button 4 to move the core tube 3 synchronously to the right along the axis of the sleeve 2. When the button 4 is released, the spring 5 drives the button 4, along with the core tube 3, to move to the left in the opposite direction along the axis of the sleeve 2.
[0020] To prevent the core tube 3 from being pulled out of the sleeve, a special design is made for the core tube 3, and the structure of the core tube 3 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the left part of the core tube 3 is a circular tube segment 31, and the right part of the core tube is a rectangular tube segment 32 (see...). Figures 5-6), the circular tube section 31 and the rectangular tube section 32 are connected through a curved transition section 33, the setting of the curved transition section realizes that the axis of the circular tube section of the core tube is parallel to the axis of the rectangular tube section but not coincident, so that the view is not blocked; meanwhile, the circular tube section 31 of the core tube is nested in the sleeve 2, the circular tube section can slide along the axial direction of the sleeve, the rectangular tube section 32 of the core tube is exposed outside the sleeve, the length of the core tube is designed to match the sleeve, so that the curved transition section 33 is just clamped at the right port of the sleeve 2 under the action of the spring.
[0021] As shown in Figures 5-6 , a gap 34 with a certain width is formed on the rectangular tube section 32 of the core tube, the gap 34 extends to the circular tube section 31 for a certain length, and the rectangular tube section is naturally opened into two parts, i.e. an upper part 321 and a lower part 322, with the gap as the interface. After the rectangular tube section is opened, the internal space is increased to facilitate the accommodation of the tail cap of the long arm nail. Meanwhile, in order to prevent the distance between the upper part and the lower part from being too large after being opened, a limiting structure 35 is arranged between the two parts of the rectangular tube section, for example, the limiting structure in this example is isosceles trapezoidal, and the gap 34 surrounds the two legs and one lengthier base of the isosceles trapezoid. The limiting structure is actually a kind of nesting structure, the trapezoidal block is part of the upper part 321, and there is a trapezoidal groove in the lower part 322 to accommodate the trapezoidal block. The gap 34 surrounds the trapezoidal block, and the limiting structure allows the upper part and the lower part to be separated by a certain distance, while preventing the distance between the two from being too large. The limiting structure is designed ingeniously.
[0022] The use state of the long arm nail breaker described above is shown in Figure 7 . A long arm nail 6 is shown in Figure 7 , which includes a U-shaped nail cap 61, and a breaking groove 62 is arranged on the nail cap. In the spinal fixation surgery, the long arm nail is first driven into the spine, and when it is necessary to remove the excess nail cap, at this time, one hand holds the handle 1 of the breaker, and the thumb of the hand presses the button 4 to compress the spring 5, the button 4 drives the core tube 3 to move right along the sleeve 2, at this time, the transition section of the core tube is no longer constrained by the sleeve, and the upper part and the lower part of the rectangular tube section naturally open, then the breaker is moved to make the rectangular tube section of the breaker wrap around one nail cap arm of the long arm nail, then the button is released, the spring drives the button and the core tube to move in the opposite direction relative to the sleeve, and the right end of the sleeve forms a constraint on the transition section of the core tube, so that the two parts of the rectangular tube section of the core tube are folded inward to form a clamping state, and the rectangular tube section of the breaker clamps the nail cap, at this time, the handle of the breaker is swung laterally, and the nail cap can be broken off from the breaking groove, the broken nail cap is still clamped on the rectangular tube section, at this time, the breaker is moved to the outside area of the surgery, and the button is pressed again to open the upper part and the lower part of the rectangular tube section, the broken nail cap can naturally fall off from the gap, and then the next breaking operation can be performed.
