Life will be easier if you use ManyToManyField, i.e. add this field to the Person model:
devices = models.ManyToManyField('Device', through='Uses')
Then, to get the list, you just need to get the devices attribute of the model object:
Person.objects.get(name="TheNameYouWant").devices
If you do not want to modify the model, the list of devices used by a person could be retrieved as below:
Device.objects.filter(uses__person_name__name="TheNameYouWant")
If Django say cannot resolve keyword “uses” into filed, please change to “uses_set”. I can’t remember which one is which.

This assumes that what you have written is the only thing in your classes, i.e. that is your entire models.py
file.
So, now you wish to know how you can link these tables together. The answer is simple, all you have to do is use one of the many relationship files that django provides in order to create a relationship between tables.
Now the relationship can be different, heck how the relationship works between the two tables may also be of importance. Django makes all of this possible, and take a look at the the documentation here. First one needs to establish the kind of relationship, so say a Person
can have many Devices
. So, this is how your new Person
class would look like:
class Person (models.Model)
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
And this is how your Device
class would look like:
class Device (models.Model)
mobile = models.CharField(max_length=200)
user = model.ForeignKey(Person)
Note that you do not change the Person
class, this is how a Many-To-One
relationship works in django. You can have a look at how this all works in the documentation link I provided above.
Now as for querying, you can simply do this:
Device.objects.filter(user__name='<name_you_want>')

How can I make a query to get the devices used by the person “name”?
devices = Uses.objects.filter(person_name__name='name').values_list('person_device')
