The driving assembly 4 includes a driving groove 401 opened at the front and rear ends of the cleaning inner box 2. The inner wall of the driving groove 401 is fixedly installed with a second support plate 402 through a bracket. The inner wall of the driving groove 401 and the four corners of the middle part of the second support plate 402 are respectively rotatably connected with a driving shaft 403 through bearings. The driving shaft 403 is driven by a stepping motor. A sprocket 404 is fixedly installed on the surface of the driving shaft 403. The surface of the sprocket 404 is transmission-connected with a special-shaped chain 405. One end of the opposite surface of the front and rear special-shaped chains 405 is fixedly installed with a driving rod 406. The driving rod 406 corresponds to the second support The surface of the support plate 402 is rotatably connected with a guide seat 407, and the surface of the guide seat 407 is closely fitted with the inner wall of the driving groove 401 and the surface of the second support plate 402, so that the direction of the guide seat 407 remains unchanged during the transportation process of the driving rod 406, and the guide seat 407 is fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the first support plate 301, so that when the driving shaft 403 rotates, the driving shaft 403 drives the driving rod 406 to move along the direction of the special-shaped chain 405 through the sprocket 404 and the special-shaped chain 405, and then the driving rod 406 cooperates with the guide seat 407 to drive the first support plate 301 to move along the direction of the special-shaped chain 405, while keeping the first support plate 301 always vertically arranged;

[0043] When the above structure is in use, the stepper motor drives the driving shaft 403 to rotate, so that the driving shaft 403 cooperates with the sprocket 404 to drive the special-shaped chain 405 to transmit, and the special-shaped chain 405 drives the driving rod 406 to move in a circular waist shape around the special-shaped chain 405, and then the driving rod 406 drives the first support plate 301 to move in a circular waist shape through the guide seat 407.

[0044] At the bottom of the corresponding positions of the front and rear guide seats 407, a first guide rod 307 is fixedly installed. The surfaces of the driving rod 406 and the first guide rod 307 are both sleeved with movable sleeves 306. One end of the top of the movable sleeve 306 is provided with a rack, and one end of the rack is meshed with the surface of the gear 305. One end of the movable sleeve 306 is fixedly installed with a return spring 308, and the return spring 308 is fixedly installed at one end of the guide seat 407. The bottom of the storage box 1 is hinged with a plurality of hinge arms 309 in a matrix, and a torsion spring is provided between the hinge arms 309 and the storage box 1. The top of the hinge arm 309 is hinged with a toothed plate 310. The top of the toothed plate 310 and the top of the movable sleeve 306 are both provided with horizontal tooth patterns. Both ends of the toothed plate 310 are respectively fixedly installed with guide columns 311. Guide grooves 312 are opened on the inner wall of the cleaning inner box 2 corresponding to the positions of the guide columns 311. The guide columns 311 are movably connected to the inner wall of the guide grooves 312, so that the guide grooves 312 cooperate with the guide columns 311 to guide the movement of the toothed plate 310;

[0045] When the above structure is in use, when the storage component 5 needs to be disinfected, first place the support frame 302 on the top of the first support plate 301, and then put the storage component 5 for placing needles into the feeding box 6, and make the chassis 504 enter the first support plate 301 through the guidance of the support frame 302. At this time, there is a space between the inner wall of the support frame 302 and the expansion plate 507. At the same time, the positioning sleeve 511 and the first support plate 301 attract each other with opposite genders, so that the chassis 504 is closely attached to the inner wall of the first support plate 301.

[0046] The storage component 5 is arranged on the support component 3, and the storage component 5 is used for holding injections. The storage component 5 includes a top ring 501, a partition frame 503 and a chassis 504 which are fixedly arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The chassis 504 is located in the first support plate 301. A plurality of expansion plates 507 that move radially along the top ring 501 are arranged between the top ring 501 and the partition frame 503, and the plurality of expansion plates 507 form a complete circular structure. The partition frame 503 is a cross-shaped hollow structure. A rotating arm 505 is rotatably connected to the middle of the inner wall of the partition frame 503, and the rotating arm 505 is movably arranged in the inner wall of the expansion plate 507, so that when the rotating arm 505 rotates, it drives the expansion plate 507 to move radially. One end of the rotating arm 505 away from the expansion plate 507 is meshed with a worm 506, and the worm 506 is rotatably connected to the middle of the partition frame 503. The bottom of the chassis 504 is provided with inclined holes to discharge the liquid in the chassis 504. One end of the rotating arm 505 corresponding to the position of the worm 506 is provided with teeth, so that when the worm 506 rotates, the worm 506 drives the rotating arm 505 to rotate. A top frame 502 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top ring 501, and the top frame 502 is fixedly installed on the top of the partition frame 503 to cover the hollow opening structure at the top of the partition frame 503;

[0047] When the above structure is in use, the user directly places the used acupuncture needles into the top ring 501. The top frame 502 is provided to seal the opening at the top of the partition frame 503. At the same time, the space between the top ring 501 and the chassis 504 is divided into four parts by the partition frame 503. This ensures that when the acupuncture needles are placed between the top ring 501 and the chassis 504, they will not tilt significantly, that is, the height difference between the heads of each acupuncture needle is small, and they will not fall off from the middle position between the top ring 501 and the top ring 501;

[0048] The inner wall of the expansion plate 507 is fixedly installed with a second guide rod 508, and a guide sleeve 509 is movably inserted on the surface of the second guide rod 508. The guide sleeve 509 is fixedly installed in the middle of the partition frame 503. The middle of one end of the rotating arm 505 corresponding to the position of the expansion plate 507 is fixedly installed with a driving head 512. The inner wall of the expansion plate 507 is fixedly installed with a connecting frame 513, and the driving head 512 is movably connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame 513. The rotating arm 505 is closely attached to the inner wall of the expansion plate 507, so that when the rotating arm 505 drives the expansion plate 507 to move, the rotating arm 505 will not separate from the expansion plate 507. The inner wall of the first support plate 301 corresponding to the position of the chassis 504 is movably connected with a support frame 302, and the top ring 501 and the chassis 504 are movably sleeved on the inner wall of the support frame 302, so that the support frame 302 plays a guiding role in the installation of the chassis 504 and the top ring 501. The diameter of the top of the top ring 501 is adapted to the diameter of the support frame 302. The diameters of the chassis 504 and the expansion plate 507 are both smaller than the diameter of the top ring 501 and the inner diameter of the support frame 302. There are multiple notches in the middle of the support frame 302. The bottom of the inner wall of the first support plate 301 corresponding to the position of the chassis 504 is fixedly installed with a positioning column 303. The bottom of the first support plate 301 corresponding to the position of the positioning column 303 is rotatably connected with a gear 305 through a bearing, and the gear 305 penetrates and extends to the top of the first support plate 301. The top of the gear 305 is fixedly installed with a driving sleeve 304. The bottom of the chassis 504 corresponding to the position of the positioning column 303 is fixedly installed with a positioning sleeve 511. The worm 506 penetrates and extends to the bottom of the chassis 504 through a bearing. The bottom of the worm 506 is fixedly installed with a driven column 510, and the driven column 510 is located in the inner wall of the driving sleeve 304. The inner wall of the positioning sleeve 511, the surface of the positioning column 303, the inner wall of the driving sleeve 304, and the surface of the driven column 510 are all regular polygon structures, so that the positioning sleeve 511 is sleeved on the surface of the positioning column 303, and the driven column 510 is sleeved on the inner wall of the driving sleeve 304. The positioning sleeve 511 and the first support plate 301 are made of magnetic materials;

[0049] When the above structure is in use, when the first support plate 301 drives the storage component 5 to move downward into the interior of the storage box 1, the toothed plate 310 drives the gear 305 to rotate through the movable sleeve 306, and at the same time compresses the return spring 308. Meanwhile, the gear 305 drives the rotating arm 505 to rotate through the driving sleeve 304 in cooperation with the driven column 510 and the worm 506, and makes the rotating arm 505 drive the expansion plate 507 to radially move away from the worm 506. At this time, the acupuncture needles are exposed to the disinfectant liquid inside the storage box 1. With the operation of the ultrasonic probe and the ultraviolet lamp 13, the acupuncture needles can be effectively disinfected, which is convenient for disinfection.

[0050] After disinfection, the driving component 4 drives the first support plate 301 to move upward, and drives the storage component 5 to move into the interior of the discharge box 8 for storage. The new first support plate 301 returns to the bottom of the feed box 6 again. When the storage component 5 is inside the discharge box 8, the blower 10 and the electric heating tube 11 on the inner wall of the discharge box 8 work at this time, and perform drying treatment on the storage component 5. At the same time, the disinfectant liquid inside the chassis 504 will drain from the inclined holes. The inclined holes do not affect the placement of the needles. Finally, the storage component 5 is stored in the discharge box 8 and waits to be taken.

[0051] Working principle: When in use, the user directly places the used acupuncture needles into the top ring 501 of the invention. The top frame 502 is provided to seal the opening at the top of the partition frame 503. At the same time, the space between the top ring 501 and the chassis 504 is divided into four parts by the partition frame 503. This makes it so that when the acupuncture needles are placed between the top ring 501 and the chassis 504, they will not tilt greatly, that is, the height difference between the heads of each acupuncture needle is small and they will not break away from the middle position between the top ring 501 and the top ring 501. When the acupuncture needles are placed between the top ring 501 and the chassis 504, the heads of the acupuncture needles need to be placed upward.

[0052] The initial position of the first support plate 301 is below the feed box 6. First, place the support frame 302 on the top of the first support plate 301, and then put the storage component 5 for placing the needles into the feed box 6, and make the chassis 504 enter the first support plate 301 through the guidance of the support frame 302. At this time, there is a space between the inner wall of the support frame 302 and the expansion plate 507. At the same time, the positioning sleeve 511 and the first support plate 301 attract each other differently, so that the chassis 504 fits tightly against the inner wall of the first support plate 301. At the same time, the positioning sleeve 511 is sleeved on the surface of the positioning column 303, and the driven column 510 is sleeved on the inner wall of the driving sleeve 304, so that the positioning column 303 cooperates with the positioning sleeve 511 to prevent the chassis 504 from rotating, and the gear 305 can drive the driven column 510 to rotate through the driving sleeve 304.

[0053] After that, the driving component 4 starts to work. Among them, the stepping motor drives the driving shaft 403 to rotate, so that the driving shaft 403 cooperates with the sprocket 404 to drive the special-shaped chain 405 to transmit, and the special-shaped chain 405 drives the driving rod 406 to move in a circular waist shape around the special-shaped chain 405. Furthermore, the driving rod 406 drives the first support plate 301 to move in a circular waist shape through the guide seat 407;

[0054] When the first support plate 301 drives the storage component 5 to move downward into the interior of the storage box 1, at this time, the movable sleeve 306 will contact the toothed plate 310, and when the toothed plate 310 moves downward, it will move forward to the front end. At the same time, it drives the articulated arm 309 to be articulated and compress the torsion spring. And when the toothed plate 310 moves forward to the front end, through the horizontal tooth patterns at the bottom of the toothed plate 310 and the movable sleeve 306, when the toothed plate 310 fits with the movable sleeve 306, it will drive the movable sleeve 306 to move forward to the front end, and the movable sleeve 306 drives the gear 305 to rotate, while compressing the return spring 308. At the same time, the gear 305 drives the worm 506 to rotate through the driving sleeve 304 and the driven column 510. Furthermore, the worm 506 drives the rotating arm 505 to rotate, and the rotating arm 505 drives the expansion plate 507 to radially move away from the worm 506. At this time, the space between the chassis 504 and the top ring 501 is opened, so that the acupuncture needles are exposed to the disinfectant in the storage box 1. With the operation of the ultrasonic probe and the ultraviolet lamp 13, the acupuncture needles can be effectively disinfected. The purpose of setting the expansion plate 507 is that when storing the acupuncture needles, the acupuncture needles are not easily separated from between the top ring 501 and the chassis 504. That is, the storage component 5 is a tubular structure with an open top in the initial state. When it is located inside the storage box 1, the storage component 5 is a structure with openings in the middle and at the top, which is convenient for disinfection;

[0055] After disinfection, the driving component 4 drives the first support plate 301 to move upward. At the same time, the movable sleeve 306 gradually separates from the toothed plate 310, and under the action of the reset of the return spring 308, the gear 305 rotates reversely, that is, the worm 506 rotates reversely during the upward movement, and the plurality of expansion plates 507 gradually approach the worm 506 until the plurality of expansion plates 507 recombine into a complete circular structure. During this process, due to the support of the chassis 504 and the top ring 501, the movement of the expansion plates 507 will not cause movement interference with the acupuncture needles. After the expansion plates 507 are retracted, that is, the storage component 5 forms a sealed container with an open top again. And when the disinfected injection moves upward, it will cause the first support plate 301 to drive the storage component 5 to move to the inside of the discharge box 8 for storage. The new first support plate 301 returns to the bottom of the feed box 6 again. When the storage component 5 is inside the discharge box 8, at this time, the fan 10 and the electric heating tube 11 on the inner wall of the discharge box 8 work and perform drying treatment on the storage component 5. At the same time, the disinfectant liquid inside the chassis 504 will be discharged from the inclined holes. The inclined holes do not affect the placement of the injection. Finally, the storage component 5 is stored in the discharge box 8 and waits to be taken;
