Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to an automated auxiliary needle inserter for acupuncture needles. Background Art

[0002] Acupuncture refers to inserting needles (usually filiform needles) into the patient's body at a certain angle under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory, using twisting and lifting techniques to stimulate specific parts of the human body to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. That is, thin needles are inserted into specific acupuncture points on the human body to adjust the body's energy flow (called "qi") to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. With the development of science and technology, in order to improve the effect, accuracy and safety of acupuncture treatment and reduce the workload of doctors, some innovative technologies have been introduced into the field of acupuncture, including automated assisted needle inserters for acupuncture needles.

[0003] After searching, the patent with authorization announcement number CN108814962B discloses an acupuncture needle insertion assistant, including an upper component, a middle component and a lower component. It can not only increase the stability of the operator's operation process, but also does not affect the downward movement of the hand along with the needle body when inserting the needle, and effectively combines the improvement of stability and no restriction on the depth of needle insertion. Although the acupuncture needle insertion assistant can achieve the effect of assisting the acupuncture, it still has some defects. Specifically, when it is actually used, it is directly supported on the acupuncture point. Since the device itself has a certain weight, and the hand is placed on the support plate during the acupuncture process, it will also increase additional pressure. The accumulated weight acts directly on the acupuncture site, which may cause the local blood circulation to be affected or cause discomfort, thereby affecting the acupuncture effect. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to overcome the disadvantages of existing acupuncture needle insertion assistants that their own weight and hand pressure affect local blood circulation and acupuncture effects when used for needle insertion point support, the present invention provides an automated acupuncture needle auxiliary insertion device.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a magnetic block is arranged between the upper clamp and the lower clamp, and the two magnetic blocks are symmetrically installed on the side close to the lower part of the connecting frame I and the upper part of the connecting frame II. The magnetic block is used to adsorb the connecting frame I and the connecting frame II into a whole, so that the roller I and the roller II can reciprocate synchronously, so that the roller I cooperates with the roller II to rotate the clamped acupuncture needle and simulate the needle twisting action.

Without increasing the burden on the skin, efficient needle insertion and simulated needle twisting effect are achieved.

[0014] 2. The present invention can combine the needle storage assembly with the needle loading assembly. During the process of operating the splint to open and close, the acupuncture needles can be automatically taken out of the needle storage frame and prepared for use, thus simplifying the needle removal process and improving work efficiency.

The servo motor Ⅱ604 is installed on one side of the upper part of the connecting frame Ⅱ602 and its output shaft is connected to the rotating shaft of the roller Ⅱ603; the driving member 8 is installed in one of the mounting frames 4. The driving member 8 is used to drive the acupuncture needle 100 clamped between the upper clamp 5 and the lower clamp 6 to reciprocate, thereby simulating the acupuncture technique of twisting the needle after the needle is inserted, and the two clamps 2 are pressed inward by overcoming the elastic force of the torsion spring 3, so that the upper clamp 5 cooperates with the lower clamp 6 to clamp the acupuncture needle 100, and the roller Ⅰ503 and the roller Ⅱ603 are driven by the servo motor Ⅰ504 and the servo motor Ⅱ604 respectively. Cylinder II 603 rotates, thereby driving the acupuncture needle 100 between roller I 503 and roller II 603 to move downward, and the acupuncture needle 100 is driven to rotate back and forth by the driving member 8 to simulate the traditional needle twisting action; a magnetic block 7 is arranged between the upper clamp 5 and the lower clamp 6, and the two magnetic blocks 7 are symmetrically installed on the side close to the lower part of the connecting frame I 502 and the upper part of the connecting frame II 602. The magnetic block 7 is used to adsorb the connecting frame I 502 and the connecting frame II 602 into a whole, so that roller I 503 and roller II 603 can reciprocate synchronously, so that roller I 503 cooperates with roller II 603 to rotate the clamped acupuncture needle 100 and simulate the needle twisting action.

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the driving member 8 includes: a gear ring 801, which is fixed to the circular ring on the top of the connecting frame Ⅰ502, and the gear ring 801 is a circular arc with a notch; a motor Ⅰ802, which is installed on the upper part of the inner side of one of the mounting frames 4; a gear 803, which is installed on the output shaft of the motor, and the gear 803 and the gear ring 801 are meshed with each other.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a needle storage assembly 9 is fixedly installed on the pillar 1, and the needle storage assembly 9 includes: a needle storage frame 901, which is fixedly connected to the pillar 1, and the needle storage frame 901 is located between the two clamping plates 2. The side and top side of the needle storage frame 901 close to the mounting frame 4 are open, and the needle storage frame 901 is used to store multiple acupuncture needles 100 in batches; two mounting plates 902, which are symmetrically fixed to the top two sides of the needle storage frame 901, and the top surface of the mounting plate 902 is provided with a slide groove near the mounting frame 4; a push plate 903, which is slidably arranged inside the needle storage frame 901, and the push plate 903 and the needle storage A spring I 904 is arranged between the frames 901; a rubber stopper 905 is symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the needle storage frame 901 near the opening, and the rubber stopper 905 is used to limit the acupuncture needles 100 in the needle storage frame 901. When an acupuncture needle 100 slides out from the side opening of the needle storage frame 901 after squeezing the rubber stopper 905, the spring I 904 acts on the push plate 903, so that the push plate 903 pushes the remaining acupuncture needles 100 outward by a needle position distance, so that the outermost acupuncture needle 100 is pushed and limited on the rubber stopper 905.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, an upper needle assembly 10 is provided on the mounting plate 902, and the upper needle assembly 10 includes: a guide rod 101, which is arranged in the slide groove of the mounting plate 902; a sliding block 102, which is slidably installed in the slide groove of the mounting plate 902 through the guide rod 101, and a spring II 103 is sleeved on the guide rod 101 between the sliding block 102 and the mounting plate 902; a needle clamping block 104, which is slidably installed on the top surface of the sliding block 102, and a spring III 105 is provided between the needle clamping block 104 and the sliding block 102, and the elastic force of the spring III 105 is less than the elastic force of the spring I 904, and the clamping surface of the needle clamping block 104 is an arc surface; a connecting block I 106, which is fixedly connected to the top surface of the sliding block 102; a connecting block II 107, which is fixedly connected to the top of the clamping plate 2 near the middle position; a tension spring 108, connected by connecting block Ⅰ106 and connecting block Ⅱ107, respectively, which are arranged between the sliding block 102 and the splint 2 on the same side. When the splint 2 is opened, the splint 2 pulls the tension spring 108 through the connecting block Ⅱ107. Under the action of the tension spring 108, the sliding block 102 moves toward the needle storage frame 901 along the slide groove on the mounting plate 902 to overcome the elastic force of the spring Ⅱ103, until the needle clamping block 104 squeezes the outermost acupuncture needle 100 on the needle storage frame 901 and then compresses the spring Ⅲ105 and opens, and finally clamps the acupuncture needle 100 under the action of the spring Ⅲ105. After the splint 2 is closed, the needle clamping block 104, which loses the action of the tension spring 108, clamps an acupuncture needle 100 from the needle storage frame 901 under the action of the spring Ⅱ103.

[0033] When using the needle inserter to assist in needle insertion, the user can put a number of acupuncture needles 100 that need to be used in batches in the needle storage frame 901 in advance. When the user overcomes the elastic force of the torsion spring 3 and presses the two clamps 2 inward, the two clamps 2 will drive the corresponding upper clamps 5 and lower clamps 6 thereon to approach each other until the clamping grooves of rollers Ⅰ503 and rollers Ⅱ603 clamp inwardly on an acupuncture needle 100 prepared in advance by the user. When rollers Ⅰ503 and rollers Ⅱ603 completely clamp the acupuncture needle 100, the magnetic blocks 7 on the connecting frames Ⅰ502 and connecting frames Ⅱ602 will be adsorbed together, so that the connecting frames Ⅰ502 and connecting frames Ⅱ602 are adsorbed together under the action of magnetic force. By simultaneously activating the servo motors Ⅰ504 and servo motors Ⅱ604, the servo motors Ⅰ504 and servo motors Ⅱ604 are activated. The output shafts of the servo motor II 604 will respectively drive rollers I503 and rollers II 603 to rotate, so that rollers I503 and rollers II 603 drive the clamped acupuncture needle 100 to move downward and insert into the acupuncture point, thereby completing the auxiliary needle insertion operation. When the acupuncture needle 100 is inserted, the motor I 802 is enabled, and the output shaft of the motor I 802 drives the gear 803 to rotate back and forth. The gear ring 801 engaged by the gear 803 drives the connecting frame I 502 to rotate back and forth. At this time, the connecting frame I 502 will synchronously drive the connecting frame II 602 to rotate repeatedly, so that the acupuncture needle 100 clamped therein can rotate back and forth on the patient's acupuncture point, thereby simulating the action of twisting the needle to stimulate the acupuncture point. When the finger pressing the splint 2 is released, the splint 2 is torsion spring 3, the upper clamp 5 and the lower clamp 6 are rotated and opened with the support 1 as the axis under the action of the clamp 2, so that the upper clamp 5 and the lower clamp 6 are separated from the clamping of the acupuncture needle 100. In the process of the clamp 2 opening, the clamp 2 will pull the tension spring 108 through the connecting block II 107, so that the tension spring 108 acts on the connecting block I 106. As the tension of the tension spring 108 increases and gradually pulls the connecting block I 106, the sliding block 102 is driven to move along the slide groove on the mounting plate 902 through the connecting block I 106. At this time, the sliding block 102 will overcome the elastic force of the spring II 103 under the guidance of the guide rod 101 and slide toward the direction of the needle storage frame 901 until the clamping needle block 104 slides and squeezes the outermost acupuncture needle 100 on the needle storage frame 901. The acupuncture needle 100 is pressed on the inclined surface of the clamping needle block 104, so that the clamping needle block 1 04 squeezes spring III 105 and opens in the direction away from each other. When the sliding block 102 slides to the other end of the slide groove on the mounting plate 902, the needle clamping block 104, which is no longer squeezed by the acupuncture needle 100, will be clamped on the acupuncture needle 100 under the action of spring III 105. When the user presses the splint 2 next time, the elastic force of the tension spring 108 acting on the connecting block I 106 becomes smaller. At this time, the needle clamping block 104 will squeeze the rubber stopper 905 from the needle storage frame 901 and clamp an acupuncture needle 100 under the action of spring II 103. Since spring II 103 is reset before the splint 2 is clamped, the acupuncture needle 100 clamped between the needle clamping block 104 can be pushed to the clamping point of the upper clamp 5 and the lower clamp 6 in advance, thereby performing an opening and closing process through the splint 2.That is, the acupuncture needle 100 can be clamped and prepared in advance from the needle storage frame 901 by the needle assembly 10, so as to realize automatic needle placement, thereby improving the efficiency of auxiliary needle placement.

[0034] Embodiment 2: Based on embodiment 1, Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, a scraping needle component 11 is provided on the needle clamping block 104, and the scraping needle component 11 includes: a mounting frame 111, which is slidably arranged on one of the needle clamping blocks 104, and the mounting frame 111 cannot be easily pushed on the needle clamping block 104; two mounting rollers 112, which are symmetrically installed in the mounting frame 111; a scraping belt 113, which is wound between the two mounting rollers 112, and fine bumps are evenly arranged on the surface of the scraping belt 113, and the scraping belt 113 is used to scrape the needle handle of the acupuncture needle 100 to simulate the operation of scraping the needle; a motor II 114, which is installed on one side of the mounting frame 111 and its output shaft is connected to the rotating shaft of the mounting roller 112.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Fig. 9 As shown, it also includes an adsorption member 12, which includes: a fixing plate 121, fixedly connected to the lower end of the pillar 1; two suction cups 122, which are provided and installed on the bottom surface of the fixing plate 121, and are adsorbed on the skin of the acupuncture position of the human body through the suction cups 122, thereby improving the stability of the needle insertion assisted by the needle inserter; a locking block 13 is provided on the splint 2, and the locking block 13 is hinged on the side of one of the splints 2 away from the end of the pillar 1, and the locking block 13 is rotated and buckled onto the other splint 2, thereby freeing the user's fingers from continuously pressing the splint 2, thereby improving the convenience of using the needle inserter.

[0036] After the acupuncture needle 100 is successfully inserted into the patient's acupuncture point, the user slides and adjusts the scraper 11 on the needle clamping block 104 so that the scraper belt 113 can contact the needle handle of the acupuncture needle 100. Due to the large friction coefficient between the mounting frame 4 and the needle clamping block 104, the scraper belt 113 can always contact the needle handle of the acupuncture needle 100. By activating the motor II 114, the motor II 114 drives the mounting roller 112 to rotate. The rotating two mounting rollers 112 will drive the scraper belt 113 to rotate. When the scraper belt 113 rotates, the fine bumps distributed on it will be on the needle handle of the acupuncture needle 100. It moves back and forth and produces a slight friction feeling. This process simulates the scraping operation of the needle body in traditional acupuncture, which helps to improve the patient's comfort and therapeutic effect. When the needle insertion operation is completed, the suction cup 122 can be adsorbed near the skin of the patient's acupuncture point, so that the entire needle inserter can be stably placed on the skin to assist the needle insertion operation. After the needle insertion is completed, the locking block 13 is rotated so that the locking block 13 can stably lock the two splints 2 together. At this time, the operator does not need to continue pressing on the splint 2 to perform subsequent acupuncture operations, thereby improving the convenience of using the needle inserter.

[0037] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the present invention in any form, and any technical solutions obtained by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
