Detailed implementation manners

[0028] Reference to "embodiment" in this text means that the specific features, structures or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The phrase appears at various positions in the specification and does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0029] An embodiment of the present invention provides an acupuncture instrument, as Figures 1-10 shown. The acupuncture instrument includes: a main body 1 of the acupuncture instrument, and an acupuncture needle 6 is connected to the main body 1 of the acupuncture instrument through a wire 5; a connecting seat 2 provided at the bottom of the main body 1 of the acupuncture instrument, a vertical plate 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting seat 2, and a movable base 4 is fixed at the bottom of the vertical plate 3; a processing box 7 fixed on the vertical plate 3, a cleaning tank 10 capable of lifting and adjusting is arranged in the processing box 7, and the cleaning tank 10 is used for disinfecting the acupuncture needle 6; an adjusting mechanism, the adjusting mechanism is arranged in the processing box 7 and is used for controlling the acupuncture needle 6 to enter and exit the processing box 7; a cleaning mechanism provided on the cleaning tank 10 and the base 4 for supplying cleaning liquid.

[0030] In this embodiment, connect the main body 1 of the acupuncture instrument to the acupuncture needle 6 through the wire 5 to ensure a stable connection. Check whether the adjusting mechanism can normally control the acupuncture needle 6 to enter and exit the processing box 7, and whether the cleaning mechanism can normally supply the cleaning liquid; place the instrument in a suitable position, move and fix the instrument through the base 4, and ensure the stability of the vertical plate 3 and the processing box 7.

[0031] According to the treatment requirements, the acupuncture needle 6 is taken out of the treatment box 7 by using the adjustment mechanism, and acupuncture treatment is performed on the patient. In the heating treatment mode, after the internal heat needle is percutaneously inserted into the treatment site, the electrical pulse stimulation program is started before the needle body is heated. With the external electrode plate as the common terminal, according to the parameters of the frequency, pulse width, current and running time of the electrical pulse stimulation set manually, the electrical pulse stimulation is automatically applied to the target point in a cycle. The rationality of the needle insertion position is judged by observing the patient's reaction when stimulated. Then, the temperature value of the treatment target point is precisely controlled within the set safe treatment threshold range for treatment; the acupuncture needle 6 is inserted into the acupoint, and by applying electricity, a continuous constant current, voltage and frequency stimulation can be given, which can increase the binding of circRNA and miRNA, thereby reducing the binding of miRNA and tumor genes, and thus inhibiting tumor genes;

[0032] After the treatment is over, the acupuncture needle 6 is placed in the liftable and adjustable cleaning tank 10 in the treatment box 7 by using the adjustment mechanism. The cleaning mechanism supplies the cleaning liquid to disinfect the acupuncture needle 6 to remove contaminants such as grease, dandruff, sweat and bacteria; there is a liftable and adjustable cleaning tank 10 in the treatment box 7 installed on the vertical plate 3. Cooperating with the cleaning mechanism, it can disinfect the used acupuncture needle 6, solve the problem that it is inconvenient to clean the contaminants on the acupuncture needle of the existing acupuncture instrument, avoid the influence of contaminant residues on conductivity and reduce the treatment effect, prevent the long-term accumulation of bacteria from causing cross-infection, and ensure the health of patients; adopting the wire 5 temperature measurement and control (patent number: CN109330880B) and the electrical pulse stimulation patented technology, the temperature values of the acupuncture needles can be independently set, measured, controlled and displayed. The temperature value of the treatment target point is precisely controlled within the set safe treatment threshold range. At the same time, it has the function of electrical pulse stimulation. The electrical pulse stimulation program is started before the needle body is heated. The rationality of the needle insertion position is judged by observing the patient's reaction, avoiding thermal damage to sensitive nerves and improving the safety and effectiveness of clinical treatment.

[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first screw rod 16 is assembled in the treatment box 7 through a bearing, and an adjustment frame 17 is sleeved on the first screw rod 16 in a threaded manner; a mounting plate 8 is fixedly installed on the adjustment frame 17, and a placement plate 9 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 8. Through holes are provided on the placement plate 9 for inserting the acupuncture needle 6; a first guide rod 18 is fixedly installed in the treatment box 7, and the first guide rod 18 penetrates through the adjustment frame 17; a motor 20 is fixedly installed in the treatment box 7 through a mounting frame 19, and the output shaft of the motor 20 is fixedly connected to the first screw rod 16 through a coupling.

[0034] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to control the acupuncture needle 6 to enter and exit the treatment box 7, the motor 20 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 20 drives the first screw rod 16 to rotate. Since the adjusting frame 17 is in threaded cooperation with the first screw rod 16, and the first guide rod 18 passes through the adjusting frame 17 to play a guiding role, the adjusting frame 17 will move linearly along the axial direction of the first screw rod 16. When the adjusting frame 17 moves, the mounting plate 8 and the placement tray 9 mounted on it also move accordingly, and the acupuncture needle 6 inserted on the placement tray 9 will enter and exit the treatment box 7 as the placement tray 9 moves, thereby realizing the control of the acupuncture needle 6 entering and exiting the treatment box 7;

[0035] By driving the first screw rod 16 to rotate by the motor 20 to drive the adjusting frame 17 to move, the automatic control of the acupuncture needle 6 entering and exiting the treatment box 7 is realized, the operation is more convenient and accurate, and it is more efficient than manual operation. Secondly, the setting of the first guide rod 18 ensures the stability and linearity of the movement of the adjusting frame 17, making the movement of the placement tray 9 and the acupuncture needle 6 more stable and reliable. Furthermore, the through-hole design on the placement tray 9 facilitates the insertion and positioning of the acupuncture needle 6, which is beneficial to better centralized management and operation of the acupuncture needle 6, further improving the convenience of operations such as disinfection treatment of the acupuncture needle 6, helping to solve the problem of inconvenient cleaning of the acupuncture needles contaminated by pollutants in the existing acupuncture instruments, and ensuring the health of patients.

[0036] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning mechanism includes: an ultrasonic transducer 11 assembled in the cleaning tank 10; a first telescopic tube 12 fixedly connected to the cleaning tank 10 for supplying cleaning liquid; a box body 13 provided on the base 4 for storing liquid, and a water pump 14 for pumping and delivering the cleaning liquid is provided on the box body 13; a liquid suction tube 15 fixedly connected to the liquid inlet end of the water pump 14, and the liquid inlet end of the liquid suction tube 15 extends into the box body 13.

[0037] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to clean and disinfect the acupuncture needle 6, the water pump 14 is started. The water pump 14 starts to work, extracts the cleaning liquid from the box body 13 through the liquid suction tube 15, and after the extracted cleaning liquid is pressurized by the water pump 14, it is delivered to the cleaning tank 10 through the first telescopic tube 12. At the same time, the ultrasonic transducer 11 adapted to the ultrasonic generator outside the treatment box 7 starts to work, generates ultrasonic waves in the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 10, and uses the cavitation effect of the ultrasonic waves to perform all-round cleaning and disinfection on the acupuncture needle 6 inserted on the placement tray 9 in the cleaning tank 10.

[0038] By cooperating the ultrasonic transducer 11 with the ultrasonic generator and utilizing the cavitation effect of ultrasonic waves, it is possible to more efficiently remove contaminants such as grease, dandruff, sweat, and bacteria adhering to the acupuncture needle 6. Compared with traditional cleaning methods, the cleaning effect is better. Secondly, the cleaning liquid supply system composed of the box body 13, the water pump 14, the liquid suction pipe 15, and the first telescopic pipe 12 can stably and continuously provide the cleaning liquid for the cleaning tank 10 to ensure the smooth progress of the cleaning work. Moreover, this design makes the storage and transportation of the cleaning liquid more reasonable, facilitating the management and operation of medical staff. Overall, this cleaning mechanism further improves the cleaning and disinfection ability of the acupuncture needle 6, effectively solves the problem of inconvenient cleaning of the acupuncture needles of existing acupuncture instruments, and better guarantees the health of patients.

[0039] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the box body 13 is divided into a liquid storage chamber and a collection chamber for containing waste liquid by a partition plate 23. The cleaning tank 10 is fixedly communicated with a second telescopic pipe 24 for discharging waste liquid, and the liquid outlet end of the second telescopic pipe 24 is communicated with the collection chamber.

[0040] In this embodiment, during the cleaning and disinfection process of the acupuncture needle 6, the cleaning liquid is transported from the liquid storage chamber of the box body 13 through the water pump 14, the liquid suction pipe 15, and the first telescopic pipe 12 to the cleaning tank 10 to clean the acupuncture needle 6. As the cleaning progresses, the used waste liquid accumulates in the cleaning tank 10. At this time, the waste liquid will automatically flow into the collection chamber of the box body 13 through the second telescopic pipe 24, realizing the automatic discharge and collection of the waste liquid after the cleaning liquid is used.

[0041] Dividing the box body 13 into a liquid storage chamber and a collection chamber realizes the effective separation of the cleaning liquid and the waste liquid, avoids the mixing of the waste liquid and the unused cleaning liquid, ensures the cleanliness of the cleaning liquid, and is conducive to improving the cleaning effect. Secondly, the second telescopic pipe 24 connects the cleaning tank 10 with the collection chamber, enabling the automatic discharge and collection of the waste liquid, eliminating the need for frequent manual operation to clean the waste liquid in the cleaning tank 10, greatly improving the work efficiency of medical staff, and at the same time reducing the pollution risk that may be brought by manual operation. Overall, this structure further optimizes the cleaning process of the acupuncture instrument, improves the cleaning treatment system for the acupuncture needle 6, and better guarantees the hygiene and safety of acupuncture treatment.

[0042] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first solenoid valve 22 and a second solenoid valve 25 are respectively arranged on the first telescopic pipe 12 and the second telescopic pipe 24, and a sensor 21 for detecting the liquid level is arranged in the cleaning tank 10.

[0043] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to clean the acupuncture needles, the system is turned on, the first solenoid valve 22 is opened, the water pump 14 works, and the cleaning liquid flows from the liquid storage chamber of the box body 13 through the liquid extraction pipe 15 and the first telescopic pipe 12 into the cleaning tank 10. At this time, the sensor 21 detects the liquid level in the cleaning tank 10 in real time. When the liquid level reaches an appropriate height, the sensor 21 sends a signal, and the first solenoid valve 22 is closed to stop injecting the cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank 10, and the cleaning of the acupuncture needles begins. After the cleaning is completed, the second solenoid valve 25 is opened, and the waste liquid in the cleaning tank 10 flows into the collection chamber of the box body 13 through the second telescopic pipe 24. When the waste liquid is completely discharged, the sensor 21 detects that the liquid level has dropped to a certain extent and sends a signal to close the second solenoid valve 25.

[0044] Through the settings of the first solenoid valve 22 and the second solenoid valve 25, the inflow of the cleaning liquid and the outflow of the waste liquid can be accurately controlled, making the entire cleaning process more automated and controllable, and improving the convenience and accuracy of the operation. Secondly, the sensor 21 in the cleaning tank 10 can monitor the liquid level in real time, avoiding problems such as excessive injection of the cleaning liquid causing it to overflow from the cleaning tank 10 or incomplete discharge of the waste liquid, ensuring the stability and reliability of the cleaning process. Through the coordinated work of these components, the cleaning process of the acupuncture instrument is further optimized, the overall management level of the cleaning operation of the acupuncture needles is improved, and it helps to better guarantee the hygienic conditions of acupuncture treatment and the normal operation of the equipment.

[0045] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a liquid replenishing pipe 42 is fixedly installed on the top of the box body 13. The liquid outlet end of the liquid replenishing pipe 42 extends into the liquid storage chamber, the liquid inlet end of the liquid replenishing pipe 42 is connected with a funnel, and a cover plate is hinged on the funnel.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage chamber of the box body 13 is insufficient, the hinged cover plate on the funnel is opened, and the cleaning liquid is poured into the liquid replenishing pipe 42 through the funnel. The cleaning liquid flows into the liquid storage chamber through the liquid replenishing pipe 42, thereby realizing the replenishment of the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage chamber. After the replenishment is completed, the cover plate on the funnel is closed.

[0047] Through the settings of the liquid replenishing pipe 42 and the funnel, a convenient way is provided for replenishing the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage chamber of the box body 13. Medical staff can easily add the cleaning liquid without complicated tools or cumbersome steps. Secondly, the hinged cover plate on the funnel can effectively prevent sundries from falling into the liquid storage chamber, avoiding the pollution of the cleaning liquid caused by the entry of sundries, ensuring the purity of the cleaning liquid, and thus ensuring the cleaning and disinfection effect of the acupuncture needles. Overall, this structure improves the cleaning liquid replenishment system of the acupuncture instrument, enhances the convenience and reliability of equipment use, and helps to maintain the normal operation of the acupuncture instrument and the hygienic requirements of acupuncture treatment.

[0048] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, an air duct 43 for connecting a drying device is fixedly communicated with the cleaning tank 10. A third solenoid valve is arranged on the air duct 43, and an air diffuser is communicated with its air outlet end.

[0049] In this embodiment, after the cleaning and disinfection work of the acupuncture needles 6 is completed, the drying device connected to the air duct 43 is turned on, and at the same time, the third solenoid valve is opened. The hot air generated by the drying device enters the cleaning tank 10 through the air duct 43. After passing through the air diffuser, the hot air is evenly diffused in the cleaning tank 10 to dry the acupuncture needles 6 placed therein. After drying, the drying device and the third solenoid valve are closed.

[0050] The connection between the cleaning tank 10 and the drying device is realized through the air duct 43, so that the acupuncture needles 6 can be dried in time after being cleaned and disinfected, avoiding the acupuncture needles being in a wet state for a long time and reducing the possibility of bacteria breeding again. Secondly, the setting of the third solenoid valve can accurately control the inflow and stop of the hot air, facilitating flexible operation of the drying process according to actual needs. Moreover, the design of the air diffuser can evenly diffuse the hot air entering the cleaning tank 10, ensuring that all parts of the acupuncture needles 6 can be fully dried and improving the drying effect. Overall, this structure improves the cleaning process of the acupuncture needles 6, enhances the functionality and practicality of the equipment, and better guarantees the hygiene status and the safety of the next use of the acupuncture needles.

[0051] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a sewage pipe 41 is fixedly installed on the box body 13. The liquid inlet end of the sewage pipe 41 is communicated with the collection chamber, and a valve is arranged at the liquid outlet end of the sewage pipe 41.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the waste liquid in the collection chamber accumulates to a certain extent and needs to be cleaned, the valve at the liquid outlet end of the sewage pipe 41 is opened, and the waste liquid in the collection chamber is discharged from the box body 13 through the sewage pipe 41 under the action of gravity. After the waste liquid is discharged, the valve is closed. The setting of the sewage pipe 41 provides a special discharge channel for the waste liquid in the collection chamber, making the operation of cleaning the waste liquid more convenient.

[0053] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, an opening is provided on the treatment box 7. The opening allows the adjusting frame 17, the mounting plate 8, the placing tray 9 and the acupuncture needles 6 to enter and exit. An installation groove 26 is provided on the inner wall of the treatment box 7. A baffle 27 for blocking the opening is arranged in the installation groove 26. A connecting plate 28 is fixedly installed on the baffle 27, and one end of the connecting plate 28 is fixedly connected with the cleaning tank 10.

[0054] In this embodiment, the setting of the access opening provides a passage for the adjusting frame 17, the mounting plate 8, the placing tray 9 and the acupuncture needles 6 to enter and exit the processing box 7, ensuring that the acupuncture needles 6 can smoothly enter the cleaning tank 10 for disinfection treatment and smoothly move out after the treatment. Secondly, the design of the baffle 27 can block the access opening when not in use, effectively preventing external dust, debris, etc. from entering the interior of the processing box 7 and avoiding contamination of the clean environment in the cleaning tank 10 and the acupuncture needles 6. Furthermore, by connecting the baffle 27 to the cleaning tank 10 through the connecting plate 28, the movement of the baffle 27 is linked to the lifting action of the cleaning tank 10, realizing automatic blocking and opening of the access opening, without additional operations, improving the convenience of equipment use and the overall hygiene performance, and further ensuring the cleaning and disinfection effects of the acupuncture needles 6.

[0055] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a storage groove 38 is fixedly installed on the connecting seat 2. The storage groove 38 is used to place the power cord of the acupuncture instrument main body 1. A detachable shielding cover is provided on the storage groove 38. A handle holder 39 for grasping is fixedly installed on the vertical plate 3. Universal wheels 40 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the base 4.

[0056] In this embodiment, the setting of the storage groove 38 and its detachable shielding cover provides a dedicated storage location for the power cord of the acupuncture instrument main body 1, avoiding problems such as entanglement and loss caused by random placement of the power cord, keeping the working environment clean and orderly, and also facilitating quickly finding the power cord when using it next time. Secondly, the installation of the handle holder 39 provides a convenient grasping part for moving the acupuncture instrument, making it more labor-saving and convenient for medical staff to move the equipment, and improving the mobility of the equipment. Furthermore, the universal wheels 40 symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the base 4 enable the acupuncture instrument to move flexibly in all directions, facilitating adjusting the equipment position to meet the needs of different treatment scenarios. Overall, these designs improve the convenience of use, storage rationality and movement flexibility of the acupuncture instrument, optimizing the overall performance of the equipment and the user experience.

[0057] In order to further improve the use effect of the present device, in addition to the above-mentioned solutions, this solution also has the following embodiments:

[0058] In another embodiment of the present invention, a linkage mechanism for regulating the lifting of the cleaning tank 10 is provided in the processing tank 7. The linkage mechanism includes: a second screw rod 29 mounted in the processing tank 7 through a bearing seat, a regulating plate 30 is threadedly sleeved on the second screw rod 29, and one end of the regulating plate 30 is fixedly connected to the cleaning tank 10; a second guide rod 31 fixedly installed in the processing tank 7 for limiting and guiding the regulating plate 30, and the second guide rod 31 penetrates through the regulating plate 30; a fixing plate 32 fixedly installed in the processing tank 7; a transmission shaft 33 assembled on the fixing plate 32 through a bearing, a first gear 34 and a second gear 36 are fixedly installed on the transmission shaft 33, a toothed groove plate 35 capable of meshing and separating is provided on the second gear 36, and the toothed groove plate 35 is fixedly connected to the regulating frame 17 through a connecting block; a third gear 37 fixedly installed on the second screw rod 29, and the third gear 37 meshes with the first gear 34.

[0059] In this embodiment, when the regulating frame 17 moves, the toothed groove plate 35 fixedly connected thereto moves accordingly. When the toothed groove plate 35 is in a meshing state with the second gear 36, the movement of the regulating frame 17 will drive the toothed groove plate 35 to rotate the second gear 36, the second gear 36 drives the transmission shaft 33 to rotate, and then the first gear 34 fixed on the transmission shaft 33 rotates; since the first gear 34 meshes with the third gear 37, the third gear 37 will drive the second screw rod 29 to rotate. When the second screw rod 29 rotates, the regulating plate 30 threadedly sleeved thereon will move linearly along the second guide rod 31, thereby driving the cleaning tank 10 fixedly connected to the regulating plate 30 to lift. Through this linkage method, the associated control of the movement of the regulating frame 17 and the lifting of the cleaning tank 10 is realized.

[0060] The association between the actions of the regulating frame 17 and the cleaning tank 10 is realized through the linkage mechanism, enabling the process of the acupuncture needles 6 entering and exiting the processing tank 7 to be coordinated with the lifting of the cleaning tank 10, optimizing the operation process, and improving the overall automation level and the convenience of use of the equipment.

[0061] In summary, compared with the related art, the automatic control of the acupuncture needle 6 entering and exiting the processing box 7 is realized by driving the first screw rod 16 by the motor 20 to drive the adjustment frame 17 to move. The linkage mechanism realizes the action association between the adjustment frame 17 and the cleaning tank 10, optimizes the operation process, improves the automation degree and convenience. The first, second, and third solenoid valves and the sensor 21 work together to accurately control the flow and liquid level of the cleaning liquid and the sewage, improve the automation and controllability of the cleaning process, and enhance the convenience and automation degree of the overall operation. In the cleaning mechanism, the ultrasonic transducer 11 cooperates with the cleaning liquid supply system to efficiently clean the acupuncture needle 6. The design of the partition of the storage chamber and the collection chamber and the second telescopic tube 24 in the box body 13 realizes the separation of the cleaning liquid and the sewage and the automatic discharge and collection of the sewage. The air guide pipe 43 and the air diffuser cover are provided to connect the drying equipment to supply hot air to dry the acupuncture needle 6 after cleaning, effectively solving the problem of inconvenient cleaning of the acupuncture needle and ensuring the health of patients and the hygiene and safety of treatment.
