Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of acupuncture storage boxes, and in particular to a portable acupuncture storage box. Background Art

[0002] In the existing medical environment, acupuncture treatment usually relies on treatment carts to carry and manage acupuncture-related items. Treatment carts are a common medical device used to store and transport various medical supplies, such as acupuncture needles, cotton swabs, alcohol, disinfectant, gauze, etc. However, treatment carts are large in size and inconvenient to move, especially in treatment rooms with limited space or occasions that require frequent movement. The use of treatment carts is particularly cumbersome and inconvenient. This not only increases the workload of medical staff, but also affects the efficiency of treatment.

[0003] Disinfection is an essential step in acupuncture treatment. Before each acupuncture treatment, medical staff need to use cotton swabs and alcohol to disinfect each acupuncture point to ensure the safety and hygiene of the treatment. Usually, cotton swabs are provided in packages of 4-5, which means that each time acupuncture is performed, medical staff need to go back and forth between the treatment vehicle and the patient several times to get enough cotton swabs and alcohol. This frequent trip not only wastes time, but also interrupts the continuity of acupuncture, affecting the treatment effect and patient experience.

[0004] In addition, the existing cotton swab packaging method also has certain limitations. Since cotton swabs are provided in the form of 4-5 per package, medical staff often need to open new cotton swab packages multiple times when performing acupuncture on multiple acupoints, which not only increases the complexity of the operation, but also may lead to waste of cotton swabs. At the same time, there are similar problems with the carrying and use of alcohol. Alcohol is usually provided in bottled form, and an appropriate amount of alcohol needs to be poured out when used, which not only increases the steps of the operation, but also may cause alcohol to spill and waste.

[0005] In summary, the existing methods of carrying and managing acupuncture items have many inconveniences and limitations. The treatment cart is large in size and inconvenient to move, which affects the efficiency and continuity of acupuncture treatment. There are also certain problems with the carrying and use of cotton swabs and alcohol, which increases the complexity and time cost of the operation. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a portable acupuncture storage box to solve the above problems and improve the efficiency and continuity of acupuncture treatment. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a portable acupuncture storage box, which solves the problem that the existing treatment vehicle is inconvenient to move frequently in a space-constrained environment, and the cotton swab needs to be frequently disassembled and the alcohol bottle needs to be opened to dip in alcohol, resulting in low efficiency.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a portable acupuncture storage box, comprising:

[0008] Box body;

[0009] A shoulder strap connected to both sides of the box body;

[0010] A waste collection box, wherein the waste collection box is placed in the box body;

[0011] A first placement plate, wherein the first placement plate is arranged in a box body at one side of the waste collection box;

[0012] A plurality of cotton swabs, wherein the plurality of cotton swab arrays are arranged on one side of the first placement plate, and each of the cotton swabs is plugged into the first placement plate;

[0013] An alcohol dipping component, which can completely wet all the ends of the cotton swabs at one time;

[0014] The second placement plate is arranged in the box body on one side of the alcohol absorbing component, and a plurality of circular holes of different sizes are opened on the second placement plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the alcohol extraction component comprises:

[0016] A temporary storage box, which is arranged between the waste collection box and the second placement plate;

[0017] An alcohol storage chamber, wherein the alcohol storage chamber is arranged in the temporary storage box, the cross-section of the alcohol storage chamber is in a concave shape, and a liquid outlet hole is provided on a side wall of the alcohol storage chamber;

[0018] Two push plates, the two push plates are slidably and sealingly connected in the alcohol storage chamber;

[0019] Two push rods, the two push rods are respectively connected to corresponding push plates, and one end of each push rod passes through the alcohol storage chamber;

[0020] Two pressing plates, the two pressing plates are respectively connected to one end of the corresponding push rod located outside the alcohol storage chamber, and each pressing plate is in a "Z" shape; one end of the pressing plate is located in the box body, and one end of the two pressing plates located in the box body is used to support the first placement plate.

[0021] Through the above arrangement, the first placement plate is used to press the two pressing plates, thereby driving the push rod and the push plate to move downward, so that the alcohol in the alcohol storage chamber flows out of the liquid outlet to complete the simultaneous wetting operation of all cotton swabs, greatly improving the disinfection efficiency before acupuncture and effectively improving the patient's experience during acupuncture.

[0022] Furthermore, a return spring is connected between each push plate and the alcohol storage chamber, and the return spring is wrapped around the corresponding push rod.

[0023] Through the above arrangement, after the cotton swab is soaked, the first placement plate can be reset under the action of the reset spring by reducing the force acting on the first placement plate, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of this process.

[0024] Furthermore, a fixing plate is provided in the temporary storage box, and a plurality of through holes distributed in a row are provided on the fixing plate. The number of the through holes is the same as the number of the cotton swabs and the positions are corresponding. The inner diameter of each through hole is slightly smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the end of the cotton swab.

[0025] Through the above arrangement, the excess alcohol adsorbed on the end of the cotton swab can be squeezed out with the help of the through holes on the fixed plate, thereby reasonably controlling the amount of alcohol used.

[0026] Furthermore, the through holes and the liquid outlet holes are arranged in a staggered manner.

[0027] Through the above arrangement, the volatilization rate of alcohol is reduced, and the problem of debris directly falling into the alcohol storage chamber through the through hole and the liquid outlet hole can be avoided.

[0028] Furthermore, the upper surface of the fixing plate and the upper surface of the alcohol storage chamber where the liquid outlet is located are both concavely designed, and the liquid outlet and the through hole are both the lowest points of the corresponding planes.

[0029] Through the above arrangement, the concave structure helps the alcohol squeezed out of the cotton swab to flow back into the alcohol storage chamber.

[0030] Furthermore, plug holes are provided on both sides of the first placement plate, and each of the pressing plates is provided with a limiting rod that matches the plug holes.

[0031] Through the above arrangement, the first placement plate can be limited by the limiting rod, thereby preventing the first placement plate from falling due to instability when the cotton swab is soaked or the cotton swab is taken out.

[0032] Furthermore, a plurality of elastic bands are arranged at intervals on the inner wall of the box body, and only two ends of the elastic bands are adhered to the inner wall of the box body. The area enclosed by the elastic bands and the inner wall of the box body can be used to clamp hemostatic forceps and medical scissors.

[0033] Through the above arrangement, commonly used hemostatic forceps, medical scissors and other items are constrained and limited by elastic bands, which makes it easy for medical staff to take out items inside the box while ensuring their safety and stability.

[0034] Furthermore, the box body is provided with a plurality of spaced connection holes, and each of the four connection holes is provided with a positioning rod located on one side of the second placement plate. The four positioning rods enclose a rectangular area and are the four vertices of the rectangular area, and the four positioning rods are commonly connected with elastic fabric.

[0035] Through the above arrangement, cotton swabs, cotton balls and other items can be placed using four positioning rods and elastic cloth, thereby preventing the above items from being scattered during the process of carrying and moving.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, this solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0037] 1. This solution provides a portable acupuncture storage box, which can store and manage acupuncture-related items through the box body, improving the flexibility and convenience of medical staff who frequently move between different wards or treatment sites. At the same time, this solution can provide alcohol-soaked cotton swabs required for acupuncture disinfection at one time, thereby greatly ensuring the continuity of the acupuncture process and improving the patient experience and efficiency of acupuncture.

[0038] 2. In addition to being able to reasonably divide and place acupuncture-related items, this solution can also temporarily store used items through waste collection boxes to avoid the situation where medical waste has nowhere to be placed, greatly improving the safety of this solution.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The present invention is further described in detail below through specific embodiments:

[0046] Example

[0047] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a portable acupuncture storage box comprises:

[0048] The box body 1 in this embodiment adopts a rectangular structure with an opening on the top, and the present invention includes but is not limited to a rectangular structure; a cover plate 2 is rotatably connected to the opening, and the bottom wall inside the box body 1 is made of iron sheet.

[0049] The shoulder strap 3 has two ends adhered to the left and right sides of the box body 1. The shoulder strap 3 of this embodiment is a flexible belt.

[0050] A waste collection box 4 is placed on the left side of the box body 1. An opening is provided on the top of the waste collection box 4. A sponge pad 5 covering half of the opening is adhered to the opening. The sponge pad 5 can be used to shield the waste in the waste collection box 4 and can also be used to place used acupuncture needles, thereby avoiding the problem of needle stick injuries when dumping the waste in the waste collection box 4 and making reasonable use of the internal space of the waste collection box 4.

[0051] The first placement plate 6 is arranged in the box body 1 on one side of the waste collection box 4. A plurality of array-distributed snap-in holes are provided at the bottom of the first placement plate 6. In this embodiment, plug-in holes are provided on both the left and right sides of the first placement plate 6. Each pressing plate 18 is provided with a limit rod 7 that matches the plug-in hole. With the cooperation between the limit rod 7 and the plug-in hole, the stability of the first placement plate 6 during operation is effectively maintained.

[0052] Multiple cotton swabs 8, the number of cotton swabs 8 is the same as the number of the card holes, and the multiple cotton swabs 8 are respectively inserted into the corresponding card holes. The multiple cotton swabs 8 are integrated on the same first placement plate 6, so that it is convenient to complete the disinfection of each acupoint of the patient before acupuncture at one time, which greatly improves the efficiency of acupuncture and improves the acupuncture experience of the patient.

[0053] The alcohol immersion component can wet all ends of the cotton swabs 8 at one time. In this embodiment, the alcohol immersion component includes:

[0054] A temporary storage box 9 is provided between the waste collection box 4 and the second placement plate 19, and a groove is provided in the middle of the temporary storage box 9. A fixing plate 10 is also provided on the lower side of the groove, and three rows of through holes 11 are provided on the fixing plate 10. The number of through holes 11 is the same as the number of cotton swabs 8 and the positions are corresponding (that is, each cotton swab 8 is located directly above the corresponding through hole 11). The inner diameter of each through hole 11 is slightly smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the end of the cotton swab 8. With the help of the through hole 11, the excess alcohol adsorbed on the end of the cotton swab 8 can be squeezed out, which effectively saves the amount of alcohol. At the same time, the through hole 11 and the liquid outlet 13 are staggered, that is, the through hole 11 is not located directly above the corresponding liquid outlet 13, which can reduce the volatilization of alcohol and the excessive influx of alcohol into the upper part of the fixing plate 10. At the same time, the fixing plate 10 can also prevent debris from falling directly into the alcohol storage chamber 12 to a certain extent.

[0055] The alcohol storage chamber 12 is arranged inside the temporary storage box 9. The cross-sectional shape of the alcohol storage chamber 12 is a "concave" shape. Two liquid discharge holes 13 are provided on the upper surface in the middle of the alcohol storage chamber 12. The two liquid discharge holes 13 are symmetrically arranged. Plug holes are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the alcohol storage chamber 12. Each plug hole is plugged with a sealing plug 14. The two plug holes are sealed with the help of the sealing plug 14. In this embodiment, the upper surface of the fixed plate 10 and the bottom of the groove in the alcohol storage chamber 12 are both concave in design. The liquid discharge hole 13 and the through hole 11 are respectively the lowest points of the corresponding planes, which is conducive to reflux into the alcohol storage chamber 12.

[0056] Two push plates 15 are slidably sealed and connected to the left and right sides of the alcohol storage chamber 12. In this embodiment, a return spring 16 is connected between each push plate 15 and the top wall of the alcohol storage chamber 12, and the return spring 16 is wrapped around the corresponding push rod 17. When the push plate 15 is not pushed, the push plate 15 is located between the bottom of the groove on the alcohol storage chamber 12 and the fixed plate 10.

[0057] Two push rods 17 are respectively rotatably connected to the center of the upper surface of the corresponding push plate 15 , and the upper end of each push rod 17 passes through the alcohol storage chamber 12 .

[0058] Two pressing plates 18 are connected to the upper ends of the corresponding push rods 17, and each pressing plate 18 is in a "Z" shape. When in use, the lower ends of the pressing plates 18 are located in the box body 1, and one end of the two pressing plates 18 located in the box body 1 is used to carry the first placement plate 6, the width of the first placement plate 6 is equal to the distance between the vertical surfaces of the two pressing plates 18, and the length of the first placement plate 6 is slightly less than the length of the corresponding side of the groove on the temporary storage box 9.

[0059] The second placement plate 19 is arranged in the box body 1 on the right side of the temporary storage box 9. A plurality of circular holes 20 of different sizes are opened on the second placement plate 19. The circular holes 20 can be used to prevent bottles or cylinder containers of different sizes and acupuncture needles from being placed.

[0060] In this embodiment, magnets are embedded in the bottom of the waste collection box 4, the bottom of the temporary storage box 9 and the bottom of the second placement plate 19. The magnets are adsorbed onto the iron sheet at the bottom of the box body 1, thereby effectively improving the stability of the placement of the waste collection box 4, the temporary storage box 9 and the second placement plate 19.

[0061] Three elastic bands 21 are also provided on the inner wall on the right side of the box body 1, and each elastic band 21 is adhered to the inner wall of the box body 1 at only two ends. The area enclosed by the elastic band 21 and the inner wall of the box body 1 can be used to clamp hemostatic forceps, medical scissors and other instruments. At the same time, the side wall of the second placement plate 19 can also block the above-mentioned instruments, effectively maintaining the stability of the instrument placement process.

[0062] A plurality of spaced connection holes 22 are also provided on the bottom of the right side of the box body 1. A positioning rod 23 located on the right side of the second placement plate 19 is provided in each of the four connection holes 22. The four positioning rods 23 enclose a rectangular area and are the four vertices of the rectangular area. An elastic cloth 24 is commonly connected to the four positioning rods 23, so that cotton balls, gauze and other scattered items can be wrapped and limited with the help of the elastic cloth 24 and the four positioning rods 23.

[0063] The working process of this embodiment:

[0064] Medical staff inject alcohol into the alcohol storage chamber 12 through the plug hole, and the alcohol does not cover the liquid outlet 13. Bottles or tubes of different diameters are placed in the corresponding circular holes 20 of the second placement plate 19; cotton balls, gauze, acupuncture needles and other items are restricted in the space below the elastic cloth 24 by the elastic cloth 24 and four positioning rods 23, and acupuncture needles can also be placed in the circular holes 20 of the second placement plate 19; and hemostatic forceps, medical scissors and other instruments are restrained and limited by the elastic band 21.

[0065] When in use, medical staff only need to use the shoulder strap 3 to move the acupuncture storage box to any place, without being limited by the space of the treatment place, which greatly increases the flexibility and portability of the scheme. Before acupuncture, first place the first placement plate 6 between the two limit rods 7, at this time the cotton swabs 8 on the first placement plate 6 face downward, then press the first placement plate 6, and drive the pressing plate 18, the push rod 17 and the push plate 15 to move downward together through the first placement plate 6, pushing the alcohol in the alcohol storage chamber 12 through the liquid outlet 13 into the space between the fixed plate 10 and the bottom of the groove in the temporary storage box 9, at this time the end of the cotton swab 8 also enters this area through the through hole 11 on the fixed plate 10, so as to achieve full soaking of all the working parts of the cotton swabs 8. After the soaking is completed, the force applied to the first placement plate 6 is reduced, and the first placement plate 6 will reset the cotton swab 8 and the first placement plate 6 under the action of the reset spring 16; when the cotton swab 8 passes through the through hole 11 on the fixed plate 10, the excess alcohol on the cotton swab 8 will be squeezed out and flow back into the alcohol storage chamber 12 again, effectively reducing the waste of alcohol.

[0066] After the first placement plate 6 is reset, the first placement plate 6 is taken out and reversed 180° and then placed between the two limit rods 7. At this time, the wet ends of all the cotton swabs 8 are set upward, and the medical staff can quickly take the cotton swabs 8 to disinfect the patient's acupuncture points, and then use the acupuncture needles for acupuncture treatment. Continuous disinfection can be performed by continuously taking the cotton swabs 8 on the first placement plate 6, which saves the time of medical staff to repeatedly dip in alcohol for disinfection. At the same time, the amount of alcohol used is reasonable, which improves the patient's experience of acupuncture treatment.

[0067] During acupuncture treatment, the removed packaging bags and used cotton swabs 8, cotton balls and other items can be put into the waste collection box 4 for temporary storage, and the used acupuncture needles can be directly inserted into the sponge pad 5 for temporary storage, which can avoid the acupuncture needles being thrown into the waste collection box 4 and resulting in low internal space utilization.

[0068] The above are only embodiments of the present invention, and the common knowledge such as the known specific structures and / or characteristics in the scheme are not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several deformations and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the present invention, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection required by this application shall be based on the content of its claims, and the specific implementation methods and other records in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
