[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-3 The embodiments of this utility model include:

[0025] A hand-cranked bidirectional retractor, the structure of which includes a left supporting foot 1, a right supporting foot 2, a connecting bracket 3, an upper nail guide tube 4, a rack 5, an opening and closing drive assembly 6, and a limit locking assembly 7.

[0026] The connecting bracket is located at the top of the left and right expansion legs. The upper nail guide is connected to the connecting bracket via a joint screw. The left and right expansion legs are positioned opposite each other, and a movable adjustment cavity 8 is horizontally connected to both the left and right expansion legs. The rack passes through the movable adjustment cavities on the left and right expansion legs respectively, so that both expansion legs can be separated by the rack. This not only allows for the replacement of different expansion legs, connecting brackets, and upper nail guides as needed, but also facilitates cleaning and disinfection. Each of the left and right expansion legs has an opening and closing drive assembly on its side wall. The opening and closing drive assembly is connected to the rack to independently adjust the position or spacing of the left / right expansion legs. The limit locking assembly is movably connected to the opening and closing drive assembly to lock the position of the left / right expansion legs, preventing loosening and positional deviation during use, and improving the stability of the retractor.

[0027] More preferably, the bottom of the upper nail conduit is connected to the connecting bracket by a locking nut.

[0028] The opening and closing drive assembly 6 includes a wrench 61, a connecting post 62, and a gear 63. The wrench is rotatably connected to the left / right opening feet through the connecting post, and a gear is provided on the connecting post located in the movable adjustment cavity. The gear meshes with the rack and is located below the rack. The gear rotates in the movable adjustment cavity under the action of the wrench and the connecting post, so as to drive the left / right opening feet to move left and right along the rack.

[0029] More preferably, one end of the connecting column is movably connected to the left / right spreading foot on one side of the movable adjustment cavity, and the other end extends through the movable adjustment cavity to the outside of the left / right spreading foot.

[0030] More preferably, the wrench is connected to the connecting post via a wrench pin.

[0031] More preferably, the outer end of the connecting post extends into the wrench, and a groove is axially provided on its outer end. The steel ball is connected to the groove by a compression spring and is movably connected to the positioning groove on the wrench, so as to facilitate the disassembly and positioning of the wrench.

[0032] More preferably, the gear side facing away from the wrench is movably connected to the left / right support feet via a gear nut.

[0033] The limiting locking assembly 7 includes a limiting buckle 71, a guide contact surface 72, a locking tooth 73, and a retaining spring 74. The limiting buckle is rotatably mounted on the left / right spreading feet below the gear, and its upper part extends into the movable adjustment cavity. The top of the limiting buckle is provided with a guide contact surface that is always in close contact with the outer edge of the gear (or its teeth), so that there is a certain friction between the guide contact surface and the gear, so that the gear can synchronously drive the limiting buckle to swing back and forth when it rotates. Each side of the guide contact surface is provided with a locking tooth. When the limiting buckle moves inward or outward to its limit position with the movement of the left and right spreading feet, the locking tooth is locked between the teeth of the gear to lock the position of the left and right spreading feet, improve the accuracy and stability of the opening and closing of the retractor, and prevent the rack from disengaging from the spreading feet.

[0034] One end of the retaining ring is connected to the left / right support foot via a retaining ring rivet, and the other end is connected to the upper part of the limit buckle to drive the limit buckle to reset, thus preventing the limit retaining ring from being subjected to uneven force.

[0035] Specifically, when the wrench drives the gear to rotate counterclockwise, the left / right spreading feet move inward along the rack. At this time, under the action of the gear, the lower part of the limit buckle swings outward and the locking protrusion located on the outer side of the guide contact surface approaches the gear. When the left / right spreading feet move inward to the extreme position, the outer locking protrusion abuts or jams the gear to prevent it from rotating again, thus completing the position locking.

[0036] When the wrench rotates the gear clockwise, the left / right extension feet move outward along the rack. At this time, under the action of the gear, the lower part of the limit buckle swings inward and the locking protrusion located on the inner side of the guide contact surface approaches the gear. When the left / right extension feet move outward to the outward limit position, the outer locking protrusion abuts or jams the gear to prevent it from rotating again, thus completing the position locking.

[0037] More preferably, the upper part of the limiting buckle is movably connected to the left / right spreading feet via a limiting rivet.

[0038] More preferably, the guide contact surface has an upwardly arched arc-shaped structure.

[0039] More preferably, the swing directions of the limiting buckles on the left and right outstretched feet are opposite.

[0040] The advantages of this hand-cranked bidirectional retractor are: it can not only independently drive the two supporting legs to open and close in both directions using the opening and closing drive component to meet different retracting needs and improve the flexibility and convenience of using the retractor, but also can use the limit locking component to limit and lock the retracting position, thereby improving the safety of use.

[0041] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
