Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of acupuncture needle production, and more specifically, to an automatic packaging device for the body of an acupuncture needle. Background Art

[0002] After the acupuncture needles are produced, they need to be inserted into round tubes through an automatic tube threading machine, and then the acupuncture needles are packaged. For example, an automatic tube threading and packaging unit for an acupuncture needle with the Chinese patent invention number CN202020050613.7 includes a support frame, a positioning table, and a material level sensor. The positioning table is arranged on the upper side of the support frame, the material level sensor is arranged on the upper side of the positioning table, and a laser marking machine is arranged on one side of the material level sensor. The beneficial effects are as follows: By setting the material level sensor and the laser marking machine, the tube threading machine can automatically detect whether there are acupuncture needles on the positioning table. When there are no acupuncture needles, the laser marking machine can mark the corresponding empty round tubes on the conveyor belt, which is convenient for the operator to distinguish between the empty round tubes and the round tubes filled with acupuncture needles, ensuring the packaging quality.

[0003] However, the above solution still has certain defects: First, directly placing the acupuncture needles on the needle placing inclined plate causes the acupuncture needles to easily accumulate on the needle placing inclined plate, which is not convenient for arranging them and affects subsequent feeding. Second, the process of the air pump sucking the acupuncture needles through the suction head may lead to unstable suction efficiency, affecting the efficiency and accuracy of the entire packaging, thus reducing the practicality.

The inclined plate 270 can be fixed by the second bolt 272 and the second connecting plate 271, and at the same time, it can facilitate disassembly. One side of the limiting plate 290 is correspondingly provided with a limiting rod 291. The limiting rod 291 is slidably connected to the inclined plate 270. The arrangement of the limiting rod 291 can play a role in limiting, and can prevent the limiting plate 290 from rotating along with the threaded rod 280.

[0035] The working principle of the automatic packaging device for the acupuncture needle body: During use, first, by rotating the threaded rod 280, the limiting plate 290 can be moved. By adjusting the distance between the limiting plate 290 and the inclined plate 270, it can be applicable to acupuncture needles of different thicknesses. The reserved space between the limiting plate 290 and the inclined plate 270 enables the acupuncture needles to be arranged, and can prevent the phenomenon of acupuncture needles piling up on the surface of the inclined plate 270. The motor 230 drives the lower needle plate 220 to rotate. The lower needle plate 220 rotates, so that the needle clamping grooves 221 clamp the acupuncture needles. The acupuncture needles move to the upper side of the positioning table 130 as the lower needle plate 220 rotates, and the acupuncture needles automatically fall into the first card slot 140 on the positioning table 130. The acupuncture needles can be stably inserted into the inside of the first card slot 140 by the pushing plate 153. Through the movement of the pushing plate 153, the acupuncture needles that have not fallen into the inside of the first card slot 140 can be pushed into the first card slot 140. The acupuncture needles are pushed into the round tube on the conveyor 120 by the cylinder 250 pushing the pushing block 260. The round tube filled with acupuncture needles moves to the next process for packaging along with the conveyor 120. Thus, the acupuncture needles are conveniently arranged, preventing interference with subsequent feeding. Secondly, the precise control of the cylinder 250 during the process of pushing the acupuncture needles improves the packaging efficiency and accuracy, thereby improving the practicability.

[0036] It should be noted that the specific model specifications of the conveyor 120, the electric push rod 152, the motor 230, and the cylinder 250 need to be selected according to the actual specifications of the device, etc. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in the field, so it will not be elaborated in detail.

[0037] The power supply and its principle of the conveyor 120, the electric push rod 152, the motor 230 and the cylinder 250 are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail herein.

[0038] The above are only embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and modifications.
