DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example

[0020] An acupuncture tube set, such as Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, it includes a sleeve 1, a clamping piece 2 is arranged in the sleeve 1, a fixing groove 3 is arranged in the clamping piece 2, and the fixing groove 3 is used to fix the needle handle of the acupuncture needle. The clamping piece 2 and the sleeve 1 are formed by injection molding. The sleeve 1 is set to a plastic material. The inner diameter of the side of the sleeve 1 close to the clamping piece 2 is larger than the inner diameter of the side away from the clamping piece 2. An identification point 4 is arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the sleeve 1. The acupuncture needle is placed in the sleeve 1. The sleeve 1 made of plastic has low production cost and is easy to process. The plastic material is light in texture and high in hardness, which is convenient for transportation and subsequent recycling. The straight The diameter is larger than the diameter of the needle body, which makes it easier to fix the needle handle part. At the same time, fixing it at the needle handle position also avoids contamination of the needle body, thereby ensuring the normal use of the acupuncture needle. A number of anti-slip grooves are arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the needle handle, which improves the roughness of the needle handle and makes it more stable during subsequent needle insertion and twisting. The anti-slip grooves of the needle handle make the acupuncture needle more stable when it is clamped and fixed in the fixing groove 3. The identification point 4 brings a positioning effect for the subsequent assembly of the acupuncture needle and the tube sleeve 1. The position of the fixing groove 3 in the tube sleeve 1 is determined by the external identification point 4, thereby realizing intelligent assembly production.

[0021] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the clamping member 2 includes two protrusions 5, and the two protrusions 5 are symmetrically arranged and fixed on the inner wall of the pipe sleeve 1. The fixing groove 3 is arranged between the two protrusions 5. The identification point 4 is arranged corresponding to the fixing groove 3. The identification point 4 can be set as a protrusion, a groove or a color card. The protrusion 5 is integrally formed and fixed in the pipe sleeve 1 during injection molding. The identification point 4 is set as a protrusion and the groove is formed during injection molding. The protrusion protrudes from the pipe sleeve 1. This method is more convenient during injection molding, and the production of the mold is more labor-saving, but more materials need to be used. The groove is also formed by adjusting the mold during injection molding. The mold production is relatively labor-intensive but the raw materials used are less. The color card is processed and colored after the pipe sleeve 1 is produced. This method has more production links, but the different colors can better distinguish products of different sizes or regions. The above three methods can all achieve recognition effects and can be selected according to different needs.

[0022] An assembly device for an acupuncture tube sleeve and an acupuncture needle, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, it includes a tube sleeve conveying assembly line 9, an acupuncture needle conveying assembly line 10, and a tube sleeve and acupuncture needle combination device 11. The tube sleeve conveying assembly line 9 and the acupuncture needle conveying assembly line 10 are arranged in parallel. The tube sleeve conveying assembly line 9, the acupuncture needle conveying assembly line 10, and the tube sleeve and acupuncture needle combination device 11 are all uniformly controlled by a control console. The tube sleeve conveying assembly line 9 conveys the injection-molded tube sleeve 1 forward along a predetermined route, and the acupuncture needle conveying assembly line 10 conveys the processed acupuncture needle forward. The control console uniformly coordinates the tube sleeve conveying assembly line 9, the acupuncture needle conveying assembly line 10, and the tube sleeve and acupuncture needle combination device 11, making the set of equipment more mechanically automated. Only one person is required to observe the operation of the machine and handle emergencies to complete the assembly. One person can even be responsible for multiple devices at the same time, reducing labor costs and improving production efficiency.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the tube sleeve conveying line 9 includes a storage box 12 and a tube sleeve conveying channel 13, the tube sleeve conveying channel 13 is connected to the storage box 12, and a through groove connected to the tube sleeve conveying channel 13 is opened on one side of the storage box 12 close to the tube sleeve conveying channel 13, and the tube sleeve 1 in the storage box 12 is conveyed to the tube sleeve conveying channel 13 along the through groove. The storage box 12 is opened on the side facing the human body and the top surface, so that people can place the injection-molded tube sleeve 1 in the storage box 12, and a sliding sheet is arranged in the storage box 12, and the position of the sliding sheet in the storage box 12 is fixed by bolts. Adjustment: By adjusting the position of the sliding piece in the storage box 12, the accommodating space of the storage box 12 can be adjusted to adapt to pipe sleeves 1 of different lengths, thereby improving the practicability of the assembly equipment, and the side wall of the storage box 12 away from the pipe sleeve conveying channel 13 is arranged in an inclined shape, so that the pipe sleeve 1 in the storage box 12 can be continuously conveyed to the pipe sleeve conveying channel 13, avoiding the occurrence of the pipe sleeve 1 conveying jam, and at the same time, a rotating wheel is arranged at the bottom of the storage box 12, and the rotating wheel rotates in the direction of the pipe sleeve conveying channel 13 to achieve the purpose of continuously conveying the pipe sleeve 1 forward.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 , Fig.10 and Fig.12 As shown, a pipe sleeve rotating disk is provided on the other side of the pipe sleeve conveying channel 13, and the pipe sleeve conveyor belt 14 drives and connects the pipe sleeve disk 23 and the pipe sleeve rotating disk. The pipe sleeve rotating disk and the pipe sleeve disk 23 are expanded and supported at both ends of the pipe sleeve conveyor belt 14. The pipe sleeve disk 23 acts as a driving wheel to pull the pipe sleeve conveyor belt 14 to rotate, so that the transmission of the pipe sleeve 1 is realized under the drive of the pipe sleeve conveyor belt 14. At the same time, the transmission path of the pipe sleeve 1 is extended by using the conveyor belt, which is convenient for adjusting the position of the pipe sleeve 1 during the transmission process of the pipe sleeve 1 and facilitating subsequent combination.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Fig.12 As shown, a plurality of placement grooves are provided on the pipe sleeve conveyor belt 14, and the placement grooves penetrate through both sides of the pipe sleeve conveyor belt 14. The cross-sectional shape of the placement grooves is an isosceles trapezoid. The width of the placement grooves close to the outer wall of the pipe sleeve conveyor belt 14 is greater than the width close to the inner wall of the pipe sleeve conveyor belt 14. The width of the placement grooves close to the inner wall of the pipe sleeve conveyor belt 14 is less than the diameter of the pipe sleeve 1 and greater than the radius of the pipe sleeve 1. The opening of the placement grooves is large, which is convenient for the pipe sleeve 1 to slide into the placement grooves. The opening of the bottom of the placement grooves is small to prevent the pipe sleeve 1 from slipping. At the same time, the bottom of the placement grooves is penetrated to facilitate adjustment of the placement position of the pipe sleeve 1.

[0026] like Figure 7 and Fig.12 As shown, a correction component 15 for adjusting the placement position of the unified tube sleeve 1 is arranged between the tube sleeve rotating disk, the tube sleeve and the acupuncture needle combination device 11, the correction component 15 drives the tube sleeve 1 to rotate, the correction component 15 includes a rotating roller 16 and an identification device 17, the rotating roller 16 and the identification device 17 are respectively placed on both sides of the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14, and are not limited to the relative positions of the rotating roller 16, the identification device 17 and the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14, when the rotating roller 16 is above the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14, the identification device 17 is below the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14, when the rotating roller 16 is below the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14, the identification device 17 is above the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14, the rotating roller 16 and the identification device 17 are placed correspondingly, the identification device 17 is connected to the control console electrical signal, the rotating roller 16 is driven to rotate by a motor, the motor rotation is controlled by the control console, and an anti-slip layer is bonded to the outer peripheral wall of the rotating roller 16.

[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Fig.12As shown, the recognition device 17 is adjusted according to the difference of the recognition point 4. When the recognition point 4 is set to be a protrusion or a groove, the recognition device 17 uses a device for detecting distance, such as infrared recognition or laser ranging, and the recognition device 17 is fixed at the position corresponding to the recognition point 4. The length from the recognition device 17 to the outer wall of the tube sleeve 1 is a predetermined length. When the detection distance is not greater than or less than the predetermined length, it indicates that the tube sleeve 1 is placed in the correct position. After receiving the signal, the recognition device 17 transmits it to the control console. The control console controls the motor to stop working and starts driving the tube sleeve disc 23 and the acupuncture disc 24 to rotate and drive the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 to move, so as to convey the tube sleeve 1. When the recognition device 17 detects the signal, the motor The rotating roller 16 is driven to stop rotating and the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 is displaced. When the identification device 17 does not detect a signal, the motor drives the rotating roller 16 to rotate and the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 stops. If the distance detected by the identification device 17 is a predetermined length, it indicates that the position of the tube sleeve 1 is inaccurate. The identified signal is transmitted to the control console, and the control console drives the motor to drive the rotating roller 16 to rotate. The anti-skid layer on the rotating roller 16 increases the friction force on the outside of the rotating roller 16, so that the rotating roller 16 can stably drive the tube sleeve 1 to rotate in the placement groove when rotating until the tube sleeve 1 rotates to the correct position, and then transmits it, so that the position of the tube sleeve 1 transmitted to the tube sleeve and acupuncture needle combination device 11 is uniform and correct.

[0028] like Fig.13 As shown, the acupuncture needle conveying line 10 includes an acupuncture needle conveying channel, a primary sorting component, and a fine sorting component. A friction strip is bonded to the top surface of the acupuncture needle conveying channel. The acupuncture needle has a small diameter and a smooth surface. The friction strip allows the acupuncture needle to be placed stably on the acupuncture needle conveying channel and is not easy to slide with the vibration of the machine.

[0029] like Figure 7 , Fig. 9 , Fig.11 and Fig.13 As shown, the primary sorting component includes a toggle rod 18 and a primary sorting plate 19, one end of the toggle rod 18 is fixedly connected to the acupuncture needle delivery channel, and the other end of the toggle rod 18 contacts the acupuncture needles on the acupuncture needle delivery channel, the primary sorting plate 19 is rotatably connected to the acupuncture needle delivery channel, and the top surface of the primary sorting plate 19 is arc-shaped, and a plurality of sorting grooves are provided on the top surface of the primary sorting plate 19. When the toggle rod 18 contacts the acupuncture needles, the stacked acupuncture needles can be spread as flat as possible to facilitate subsequent sorting. Compared with the tube sleeve delivery line 9, the acupuncture needle delivery line 10 has an additional primary sorting component to ensure that the acupuncture needles can be stably delivered backwards, and the primary sorting plate 19 is rotatably connected to the acupuncture needle delivery channel. As the primary sorting plate 19 rotates, a portion of the acupuncture needles are delivered forward to ensure that the acupuncture needles can be placed individually in each storage slot when delivered to the fine sorting component.

[0030] like Fig. 9 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the fine sorting component includes an acupuncture needle rotating disk 20 and an acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21, the acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21 is drivingly connected to the acupuncture needle rotating disk 20 and the tube sleeve and acupuncture needle combination device 11, a plurality of storage grooves are provided on the acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21, the distance between adjacent storage grooves is smaller than the adjacent sorting grooves, an inclined plate 22 is placed between the primary sorting disk 19 and the acupuncture needle rotating disk 20, the end of the inclined plate 22 close to the primary sorting disk 19 is higher than the end of the inclined plate 22 close to the acupuncture needle rotating disk 20, the inclined plate 22 faces one side of the acupuncture needle rotating disk 20, the acupuncture needles that pass the primary sorting are conveyed under the action of the inclined plate 22, the center line of the storage groove coincides with the center line of the placement groove, because the diameter of the acupuncture needle is smaller than the diameter of the tube sleeve 1, the depth of the storage groove is smaller than the depth of the placement groove, so that when the acupuncture needle is placed in the storage groove and the tube sleeve 1 is placed in the placement groove, the axis of the acupuncture needle and the tube sleeve 1 coincide, and the acupuncture needle can be stably assembled when combined with the tube sleeve 1.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 10-13 As shown, the tube sleeve and acupuncture needle combination device 11 includes an assembly component for assembling the acupuncture needle and the tube sleeve 1 and a fixing component for fixing the acupuncture needle in the tube sleeve 1. The assembly component includes a tube sleeve disc 23 and an acupuncture disc 24 arranged in parallel. The tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 drives and connects the tube sleeve disc 23 and the tube sleeve rotating disc. The acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21 drives and connects the acupuncture needle rotating disc 20 and the acupuncture disc 24. The side walls of the tube sleeve disc 23 and the acupuncture disc 24 are provided with teeth that mesh with the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 and the acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21. The rotation of the tube sleeve disc 23 and the acupuncture disc 24 is connected. They are driven simultaneously by the control console, and the tube sleeve disc 23 and the acupuncture disc 24 serve as the driving wheels for driving the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 and the acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21, so the displacement of the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 and the acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21 is controlled by the tube sleeve disc 23 and the acupuncture disc 24. Therefore, after the control console receives the signal that the tube sleeve 1 is neatly arranged, it drives the tube sleeve disc 23 and the acupuncture disc 24 to rotate, and the tube sleeve disc 23 and the acupuncture disc 24 are controlled uniformly, then the displacement distance of the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 and the acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21 is also synchronized, ensuring that the acupuncture needles can be stably inserted into the tube sleeve 1 during assembly.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 10-13As shown, the assembly component also includes an air pump 25 and a suction box 26. The suction box 26 is provided with an air-permeable groove on one side facing the pipeline. The suction end of the air pump 25 is connected with the suction box 26 and attracts the acupuncture needles placed on the acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21 to move into the tube sleeve 1 placed on the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14. The console controls the air pump 25 to start. The air pump 25 attracts and pulls the acupuncture needles along the central axis of the tube sleeve 1 toward the suction box 26. A blocking block is fixed to the bottom surface of the side wall of the suction box 26 close to the opening. The height of the blocking block is equal to the wall thickness of the tube sleeve 1. After the air pump 25 is started, the blocking block limits the movement of the tube sleeve 1 toward the suction box 26 but does not block the movement of the acupuncture needles, and the depth of the suction box 26 is small. The length of the tube sleeve 1 is to prevent the acupuncture needle from sliding through the tube sleeve 1 when sliding. In order to ensure smooth assembly, the depth of the suction box 26 is usually selected to be half of the tube sleeve 1. This length also allows the handle of the acupuncture needle to partially pass through the tube sleeve 1, providing a force point for the subsequent fixation of the handle of the acupuncture needle in the fixing groove 3. A limit plate is also provided at the assembly component. The limit plate is fixed on the equipment. The bottom surface of the limit plate is against the outer peripheral wall of the acupuncture needle placed on the acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21 but will not apply excessive pressure to the acupuncture needle. The limit plate can limit the sliding direction of the acupuncture needle. When the suction force of the vacuum pump 25 is too large, the acupuncture needle will shake left and right during the sliding process. This is also to ensure the stability of the assembly of the acupuncture needle and the tube sleeve 1.

[0033] like Figure 2 , Fig.10 and Fig.13 As shown, the fixing assembly includes an identification detection device 27 and a fixing rod 28. The identification detection device 27 is connected to the fixing rod 28 through a control console. After the identification detection device 27 identifies the assembled sleeve 1 and the identification point 4 on the sleeve 1 of the acupuncture needle, the identification detection device 27 transmits a signal to the control console, and the control console drives the fixing rod 28 to push the acupuncture needle to be clamped and fixed in the fixing groove 3 formed by the clamping member 2 in the sleeve 1. After the identification detection device 27 detects the identification point 4 on the sleeve 1 of the assembled acupuncture needle, the signal is transmitted to the control console, and the control console can drive the fixing rod 28 to move. If the identification point 4 on the sleeve 1 of the acupuncture needle is If the point 4 is at the top, the fixed groove 3 arranged in the sleeve 1 is also at the upper position of the sleeve 1, and the fixed rod 28 is arranged below the sleeve conveyor belt 14. A linear motion device such as a cylinder is fixed on the equipment, and the cylinder is controlled by a control console. The fixed rod 28 is fixed on the piston of the cylinder. The axis of the fixed rod 28 is perpendicular to the axis of the acupuncture needle. An arc groove is arranged on the top of the fixed rod 28, and the arc groove matches the needle handle of the acupuncture needle. The arc groove increases the contact area between the fixed rod 28 and the needle handle, ensuring that the fixed rod 28 pushes the acupuncture needle upward to be clamped in the fixed groove 3 in the sleeve 1 when it moves upward.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 13As shown, a finished product channel and a waste channel are provided on the assembly equipment. The finished product channel is located above the waste channel. The opening width of the finished product channel is larger than the opening width of the waste channel. After the acupuncture needle and the tube sleeve 1 are assembled, the overall length is larger than the length of the individual acupuncture needle and the tube sleeve 1. Therefore, the assembled acupuncture needle and the tube sleeve 1 that meet the requirements enter the finished product channel, while those that are not assembled are shorter and will fall into the waste channel for recycling and reuse. Example

[0035] The difference from the first embodiment is that the clamping member 2 is recessed inwardly through the outer wall of the tube sleeve 1 to form a second protrusion 6, the fixing groove 3 is arranged between the two protrusions 6, and the outer peripheral wall of the tube sleeve 1 is formed with a groove corresponding to the second protrusion 6. The outer peripheral wall of the tube sleeve 1 is subjected to concave injection molding to form the second protrusion 6 recessed toward the inside of the tube sleeve 1, which further saves the raw materials used in the production of the tube sleeve 1. This method is the same as the principle of the first embodiment. The acupuncture needle is fixed by the fixing groove 3. During transportation, the axis of the acupuncture needle and the tube sleeve 1 do not coincide, and the flexibility of needle insertion is relatively high, which is more suitable for experienced people. Example

[0036] The difference from the first and second embodiments is that the clamping member 2 includes a support rod 7 and a fixing ring 8. The support rod 7 is fixed on the outside of the fixing ring 8 in a circular array. The other end of the support rod 7 is fixed on the inner wall of the sleeve 1. The central area of ​​the fixing ring 8 is a fixing groove 3. The fixing ring 8 directly fixes the acupuncture needle. During transportation and use, the axis of the acupuncture needle coincides with the axis of the fixing ring 8. The acupuncture point can be pre-aligned through the sleeve 1 before the needle is inserted, which is more suitable for beginners.

[0037] Embodiment 4: The tube sleeve 1 in Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 can be assembled with the existing acupuncture needle. The difference from Embodiment 1 is that if the identification point 4 of the tube sleeve 1 is at the bottom, the fixing groove 3 arranged in the tube sleeve 1 is also at a lower position of the tube sleeve 1, and the fixing rod 28 is arranged above the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14. A linear motion device such as a cylinder is fixed on the equipment, and the cylinder is controlled by a control console. The fixing rod 28 is fixed on the piston of the cylinder. The axis of the fixing rod 28 is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the acupuncture needle. An arc groove is arranged on the top of the fixing rod 28, and the arc groove matches the needle handle of the acupuncture needle. The arc groove increases the contact area between the fixing rod 28 and the needle handle, ensuring that the fixing rod 28 pushes the acupuncture needle downward to be clamped in the fixing groove 3 in the tube sleeve 1 when pressed downward.

[0038] Embodiment 5: The tube sleeve 1 in Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 can be assembled with the existing acupuncture needle. The difference from Embodiment 2 is that if the identification point 4 of the tube sleeve 1 is at the bottom, the fixing groove 3 arranged in the tube sleeve 1 is also at a lower position of the tube sleeve 1. After the acupuncture needle is inserted into the tube sleeve 1, it will move downward under the action of gravity, so that the central axis of the acupuncture needle is located below the central axis of the tube sleeve 1. The fixing rod 28 is arranged on one side of the tube sleeve 1, and the axis of the fixing rod 28 is arranged parallel to the axis of the tube sleeve 1 and the axis of the fixing rod 28 is higher than the axis of the tube sleeve 1. After the identification detection device 27 identifies, the fixing rod 28 is driven to move in the direction of the tube sleeve 1 and inserted into the tube sleeve 1. The side of the fixing rod 28 close to the tube sleeve 1 is arranged as an inclined surface, and the inclined surface has a better giving way effect, ensuring that the fixing rod 28 can be stably inserted into the tube sleeve 1. As the diameter of the fixing rod 28 inserted into the tube sleeve 1 increases, the fixing rod 28 presses the acupuncture needle downward, and the acupuncture needle is clamped and fixed in the fixing groove 3 under the action of pressure.

[0039] Embodiment 6: Mainly for the processing of embodiment 3, the suction value of the suction pump is 1.5 to 2 times of the suction value of the suction pump in embodiment 1. The suction force is increased to ensure that when the suction pump pulls the acupuncture needle, the needle handle can stably pass through the fixing ring 8 and be fixed in the fixing ring 8, thereby completing the assembly of the tube sleeve 1 and the acupuncture needle.
