Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of disinfection of acupuncture tools, and specifically to a disinfection device for traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture tools. Background Art

[0002] Acupuncture is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine treatment method, which can usually be used to relieve various pain symptoms and regulate the body functions. By stimulating specific body acupoints, acupuncture may help improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation and regulate the nervous system. The effects of acupuncture treatment vary from person to person. For some common pains such as headache, neck and shoulder pain, and low back pain, acupuncture may have a good relieving effect. For more complex diseases, such as chronic diseases or certain visceral diseases, acupuncture may be used as an adjuvant treatment method in combination with other treatment methods. The safety of acupuncture treatment is relatively high, but the treatment plan also needs to be adjusted according to individual differences and the condition of the disease.

[0003] The existing disinfection of acupuncture needles is mostly manual disinfection, that is, wiping with alcohol before use to disinfect the tools used in acupuncture. This disinfection method is not thorough, and there is a risk of cross-infection during the use of the tools, making it unsafe. Manual disinfection also has the hidden danger of secondary infection.

[0014] Optionally, the guiding groove includes a first locking groove, an arc groove, a first inclined groove and a second locking groove provided on the side plate. The center of the arc groove is concentric with the rotation center of the support arm, and the distance between the first inclined groove and the center of the arc groove gradually decreases in the direction away from the arc groove.

[0015] Optionally, the triggering mechanism includes:

[0016] A horizontally placed plate, slidably installed on the bracket, and a staggered groove is provided on the horizontally placed plate;

[0018] A release assembly, connecting the bracket and the horizontally placed plate, and the release assembly can make the horizontally placed plate tend to be at the end of its movement stroke;

[0019] An abutting structure, connecting the horizontally placed plate and the rotating shaft of the translation rod, and the abutting structure can drive the horizontally placed plate to move when the support arm deflects.

[0020] Optionally, the hysteresis kit includes a connecting plate fixedly connected to the switching head. A hysteresis groove is provided along the length direction of the connecting plate. A second grooved pulley is rotatably installed in the hysteresis groove. A first convex shaft coaxial with the second grooved pulley is provided on the second grooved pulley, and the first convex shaft can roll in the staggered groove.

[0021] Optionally, the release assembly includes a sliding groove provided on the horizontally placed plate. A slider is slidably installed in the sliding groove.

Secondly, when the disinfectant liquid storage bottle reaches the predetermined volume, it can automatically trigger the switch, quickly and smoothly realize the height switch of the two sets of disinfectant liquid storage bottles, improve the efficiency of storing the disinfectant liquid, and ensure the stability of the disinfectant liquid storage bottle during the switching process, avoiding problems such as disinfectant liquid splashing or damage to the disinfectant liquid storage bottle caused by impact or shaking, providing greater safety for patients. At the same time, the coaxiality between the right-angle drain channel and the catheter ensures the smooth flow of the disinfectant liquid after disinfecting the acupuncture instruments, avoiding problems such as unsmooth drainage or disinfectant liquid leakage caused by channel misalignment, and using the impact to prompt the switching head to perform the deflection action at a relatively fast speed, thus effectively reducing the delay of the switching head when switching the conduction direction, ensuring the continuity and high efficiency of the acupuncture instrument disinfection process, and avoiding problems such as disinfection interruption or disinfectant liquid retention caused by switching delay; during use, the two sets of acupuncture needles are respectively placed in the two disinfectant liquid storage bottles. When one set of acupuncture needles is in use, the other set of acupuncture needles is always in the disinfection state. When the current patient's acupuncture is completed and acupuncture is performed on the next patient, the other set of acupuncture needles can be used. In this way, not only can the disinfection time of the acupuncture needles be extended, the acupuncture needles can be disinfected sufficiently, but also the acupuncture needles can be disinfected more thoroughly using the disinfectant liquid to ensure the disinfection effect and reduce the risk of secondary infection; different acupuncture needles are used for adjacent patients to be acupuncture, which can avoid the current risk of cross-infection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] In addition, when an element in the present invention is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be the only embodiment.

[0043] See alsoFigures 1 to 10 In an embodiment of the present invention, a disinfection device for traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture tools includes: an outer housing 1, an energy storage component, a fitting 13, and a triggering mechanism.

[0044] A support frame body is arranged inside the outer housing 1. The support frame body is provided with two groups of disinfectant liquid storage bottles 6 with different heights. Specifically, the support frame body includes a bracket 2 fixedly installed on the outer housing 1. A support arm 3 and a translation rod 4 are rotatably installed on the bracket 2. A connecting plate 5 is rotatably installed at the ends of the support arm 3 and the translation rod 4. The connecting plate 5 is connected to the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6.

[0045] It is worth mentioning that the translation rod 4 and the support arm 3 have the same length, and the lengths of the two connecting plates 5 on both sides are also the same. This design enables the translation rod 4, the support arm 3, and the two connecting plates 5 to form a parallelogram structure. When the support arm 3 moves, a more stable support effect can be provided, and the connecting plate 5 can always maintain a vertical state. In this way, when the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6 is connected to the connecting plate 5, it can ensure that its opening is always upward and maintain a stable state. This can show better stability during the disinfection process of acupuncture needles and when the two disinfectant liquid storage bottles 6 switch positions, providing a solid structural guarantee for the smooth progress of the disinfection operation of acupuncture tools.

[0046] It should be particularly noted that the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6 adopts a disposable design concept. This design aims to effectively avoid the cross-infection problems that may be caused by the repeated use of disinfectant liquid storage bottles among different patients, thereby providing a safer and more hygienic medical environment for patients. At the same time, a negative pressure generating device is detachably installed at the bottom of the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6. This device can create a negative pressure state inside the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6. Under the action of negative pressure, the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6 can actively suck the bottled disinfectant into the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6, which is more convenient for medical staff to use.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figures 5 to 6 , the energy storage component is connected to the bracket 2. The energy storage component includes a pressing structure and a side plate 11. The first sheave 10 arranged on the pressing structure cooperates with the guiding groove arranged on the side plate 11. By pre-placing the acupuncture tools in the two disinfectant storage bottles 6, when one of the disinfectant liquid storage bottles 6 stores a predetermined liquid, the heights of the two disinfectant liquid storage bottles 6 can be switched, improving the automation degree and use convenience of the entire device, effectively avoiding the errors and inconveniences that may be brought by manual intervention, and ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the liquid storage and switching process.

[0048] In this embodiment, the design purpose of the present application is to provide a solution for disinfecting two sets of acupuncture tools simultaneously. In clinical applications, it provides standby disinfected acupuncture tools for the acupuncture doctors. When the doctor performs acupuncture on the current user, the acupuncture tools in one of the disinfectant storage bottles 6 are used. The acupuncture tools in the other disinfectant storage bottle 6 are being disinfected or have been disinfected. After the doctor finishes using, the currently used acupuncture tools are placed into one of the disinfectant storage bottles 6 for disinfection, and at the same time, the disinfectant in the current disinfectant storage bottle 6 is replaced. At this time, the doctor can use the acupuncture tools in the other disinfectant storage bottle 6 to perform acupuncture on the next patient. The previously used acupuncture tools are being disinfected. In this way, using the structure of the present application can avoid the problem of repeatedly disinfecting a set of acupuncture tools by the doctor, reducing the doctor's workload, and ensuring the disinfection duration, making it safer for patients to use.

[0049] Furthermore, when replacing the disinfectant, the disinfectant storage bottle 6 can be taken out and the disinfectant can be poured out. It should be noted that the disinfectant is not replaced once per use. One bottle of disinfectant can be used a predetermined number of times, and specific usage requirements should follow the doctor's advice.

[0050] Furthermore, the pressing structure includes a follower sleeve 7 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the support arm 3. The length direction of the follower sleeve 7 is perpendicular to the length direction of the support arm 3. The fixed connection ensures that the follower sleeve 7 can accurately follow the movement of the support arm 3, thereby providing a stable and reliable transmission basis for subsequent movements. An expansion rod 8 is slidably installed in the follower sleeve 7, and one end of the expansion rod 8 is connected to the first sprocket 10.

[0051] The pressing structure further includes a limiting ring 801 sleeved on the expansion rod 8, and a first cylindrical spring 9 is sleeved on the expansion rod 8. One end of the first cylindrical spring 9 is connected to the limiting ring 801, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the follower sleeve 7.

[0052] The guiding groove includes a first locking groove 1101, an arc groove 1102, a first inclined groove 1103, and a second locking groove 1104 provided on the side plate 11. The center of the arc groove 1102 is concentric with the rotation center of the support arm 3. The distance between the first inclined groove 1103 and the center of the arc groove 1102 gradually decreases along the direction away from the arc groove 1102. Furthermore, the distance between the first locking groove 1101 and the center of the arc groove 1102 gradually increases along the direction away from the arc groove 1102, and the distance between the second locking groove 1104 and the center of the arc groove 1102 gradually increases along the direction away from the first inclined groove 1103.

[0053] In the initial state, the first cylindrical spring 9 is already in a compressed state. Under the action of the spring force, the telescopic rod 8 has a tendency to move towards the side plate 11, thereby driving the first sheave 10 connected thereto to be clamped at a position of the first locking groove 1101 away from the arc groove 1102. At this time, the telescopic rod 8 is in an inclined state, so that the support arm 3 is also in an inclined state. This structural arrangement makes the two disinfectant liquid storage bottles 6 present a state of one high and one low. In the initial stage of filling the disinfectant liquid, the disinfectant liquid will flow towards the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6 at the high point. After the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6 at the high point stores a predetermined volume of disinfectant liquid, by the action of gravity, the actions of the two disinfectant liquid storage bottles 6 can be triggered, thereby improving the automation degree during the switching process of the two disinfectant liquid storage bottles 6, reducing manual intervention, and ensuring the continuity and stability of the disinfectant liquid filling process.

[0054] When the first sheave 10 is located in the first locking groove 1101, under the action of the first cylindrical spring 9, the support arm 3 can maintain a stable inclined state. At this time, the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6 at the high point has good stability, which is beneficial to the filling of the disinfectant liquid. Only when the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6 at the high point is filled with a predetermined volume of disinfectant liquid, the first sheave 10 will be separated from the first locking groove 1101. This design ensures that the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6 can be switched only after reaching the predetermined volume, avoiding the situation that the internal space of the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6 is not well utilized due to premature switching of the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6.

[0055] After the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6 at the high point stores a predetermined volume of disinfectant liquid, under the action of gravity, the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6 will drive the high-point end of the support arm 3 to move downward, so that the first sheave 10 is separated from the first locking groove 1101; subsequently, the first sheave 10 moves along the arc groove 1102. Since the center of the arc groove 1102 is coaxial with the rotation center of the support arm 3, during the process of the first sheave 10 moving along the arc groove 1102, there will be no resistance to the deflection of the support arm 3. This makes the support arm 3 in an accelerated deflection state, and thus the height switching of the two disinfectant liquid storage bottles 6 can be quickly realized. This fast switching mechanism can improve the filling efficiency of the disinfectant liquid.

[0056] When the first sprocket 10 moves to the end of the arc groove 1102, it will continue to move into the first inclined groove 1103. During this process, the first inclined groove 1103 will cause the first sprocket 10 to further move towards the follower sleeve 7, resulting in the further compression of the first cylindrical spring 9. At this time, the first cylindrical spring 9 stores elastic potential energy and plays a role in decelerating the deflection of the support arm 3. When the first sprocket 10 enters the second locking groove 1104, the deflection speed of the support arm 3 has decreased to a relatively small value, which can effectively prevent impacts and ensure the stability of the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6 on the connecting plate 5. This design not only ensures the stability of the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6 during the switching process, but also can effectively extend the service life of the device and improve the reliability and safety of the entire acupuncture tool disinfection system.

[0057] Through the above settings, when the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6 reaches the predetermined capacity, it can automatically trigger the switching, quickly and smoothly achieve the height switching of the two groups of disinfectant liquid storage bottles 6, improve the drainage efficiency of the disinfectant liquid, and at the same time ensure the stability of the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6 during the switching process, avoiding problems such as the splashing of the disinfectant liquid or the damage of the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6 caused by impacts or vibrations.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 10 , the fitting 13 communicates with the two groups of the disinfectant liquid storage bottles 6. A switching head 14 is sealingly and rotatably installed in the fitting 13. A right-angle drainage channel 1401 is provided in the switching head 14. By rotating the switching head 14, the right-angle drainage channel 1401 can communicate with the two groups of the disinfectant liquid storage bottles 6 respectively. Specifically, two liquid inlet ports are provided on the fitting 13, and the two liquid inlet ports are respectively communicated with the storage tube 6 through two conduits 12. Among them, a resistance-increasing pad is provided between the fitting 13 and the switching head 14;

[0059] During use, the disinfectant liquid filling pipeline is communicated with one end of the right-angle drainage channel 1401 perpendicular to its circumferential surface on the switching head 14, and the other end of the right-angle drainage channel 1401 is respectively communicated with the two groups of disinfectant liquid storage bottles 6 through the conduits 12. The switching head 14 is connected to the triggering mechanism. When the heights of the two groups of disinfectant liquid storage bottles 6 change, the triggering mechanism can trigger the deflection of the switching head 14, thereby changing the flow direction of the disinfectant liquid, so as to ensure that when one of the two groups of disinfectant liquid storage bottles 6 is filled with the predetermined capacity of the disinfectant liquid, the drainage direction of the disinfectant liquid can be automatically switched to the other group of disinfectant liquid storage bottles 6, effectively ensuring the continuity of the disinfectant liquid filling.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figures 7 to 9, the triggering mechanism is connected to the support frame body, and the triggering structure can drive the switching head 14 to act when the support frame body moves. The triggering mechanism includes: a horizontal plate 18, a retention kit, a release component, and an abutting structure;

[0061] The horizontal plate 18 is slidably installed on the bracket 2. An offset groove 1801 is provided on the horizontal plate 18. Specifically, a guiding structure is provided between the horizontal plate 18 and the bracket 2, and this guiding structure can make the horizontal plate 18 move in the horizontal direction of the space when the horizontal plate 18 moves;

[0062] The release component is connected to the bracket 2 and the horizontal plate 18, and the release component can make the horizontal plate 18 tend to be at the end of its movement stroke;

[0063] The release component includes a chute 1802 provided on the horizontal plate 18. A slider 19 is slidably installed in the chute 1802. The slider 19 is connected to the inner wall of the chute 1802 by a second cylindrical spring 20, and a second convex shaft 21 is further provided on the slider 19;

[0064] The release component further includes a trigger plate 22 fixedly connected to the bracket 2. A driving groove is provided on the trigger plate 22. The second convex shaft 21 can roll in the driving groove. The driving groove includes a second inclined groove 2201 and a third inclined groove 2202 provided on the trigger plate 22. A protrusion is formed at the connection of the second inclined groove 2201 and the third inclined groove 2202;

[0065] The abutting structure is connected to the horizontal plate 18 and the rotating shaft of the translating rod 4. The abutting structure can drive the horizontal plate 18 to act when the support arm 3 deflects. The abutting structure includes an extension rod 23 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the translating rod 4. A third convex shaft 24 is provided at one end of the extension rod 23 away from the translating rod 4;

[0066] The third convex shaft 24 is adapted to a stop portion 1803 provided on the horizontal plate 18

[0067] In the initial state, the second convex shaft 21 is located at one end of the second inclined groove 2201 away from the third inclined groove 2202. At this time, under the action of the retention kit, the horizontal plate 18 can ensure that the right-angle drainage channel 1401 is communicated with one group of disinfectant storage bottles 6 (this disinfectant storage bottle 6 is at a higher point compared to the other disinfectant storage bottle 6 in this state), ensuring that the disinfectant can be drained in a directed manner towards this disinfectant storage bottle 6 during drainage.

[0068] When the disinfectant liquid storage bottle 6 stores a predetermined volume of disinfectant liquid, the heights of the two groups of disinfectant liquid storage bottles 6 will be switched. The support arm 3 and the translation rod 4 will deflect synchronously, driving the extension rod 23 connected to the translation rod 4 to deflect. The third convex shaft 24 at the end of the extension rod 23 will then perform a circular motion and abut against the stop portion 1803, triggering the lateral plate 18 to move horizontally. During the horizontal movement of the lateral plate 18, the second convex shaft 21 moves along the second inclined groove 2201, further stretching the second cylindrical spring 20 that was originally in a stretched state. When the translation rod 4 deflects to a predetermined angle, the second convex shaft 21 moves past the protrusion, and then the second cylindrical spring 20 releases its elastic potential energy, driving the second convex shaft 21 to accelerate along the third inclined groove 2202 to the end of the stroke, and driving the switching head 14 to deflect through the hysteresis kit, quickly changing the inflow direction of the disinfectant liquid.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 7 、 Figure 8 The hysteresis kit is arranged between the misalignment groove 1801 and the switching head 14. The hysteresis kit can drive the switching head 14 to rotate when the lateral plate 18 moves. The hysteresis kit includes a connecting plate 15 fixedly connected to the switching head 14. The connecting plate 15 is provided with a hysteresis groove 1501 along its length direction. A second sheave 16 is rotatably installed in the hysteresis groove 1501. A first convex shaft 17 is provided on the second sheave 16 coaxially with it, and the first convex shaft 17 can roll in the misalignment groove 1801.

[0070] In the initial state, the second convex shaft 21 is located at one end of the second inclined groove 2201 away from the third inclined groove 2202. At the same time, the second sheave 16 is at one end of the hysteresis groove 1501 away from the translation rod 4, and the first convex shaft 17 is at one end of the misalignment groove 1801 facing the second convex shaft 21. At this time, both the second sheave 16 and the first convex shaft 17 are in a locked state, and this locked state ensures that the right-angle drainage channel 1401 can be stably communicated with one of the groups of disinfectant liquid storage bottles 6, thus ensuring the initial stability and directivity of the disinfectant liquid filling process.

[0071] When the translation rod 4 starts to rotate, it drives the transverse plate 18 to move through the interaction of the extension rod 23, the third cam 24 and the stopper 1803. During this process, the first cam 17 slides relative to the interlocking groove 1801, and since a resistance-increasing pad is provided between the switching head 14 and the sleeve 13, the right-angle discharge channel 1401 can still maintain a conductive state with the original disinfectant storage bottle 6 in the initial stage, ensuring the stability of the disinfectant filling direction. As the second cam 21 moves over the protrusion and accelerates to a certain speed, the first cam 17 can abut against the other end of the interlocking groove 1801. This abutting action enables the second cam 21 to move along the third inclined groove 2202, thereby driving the first cam 17 to move together, thereby driving the switching head 14 to deflect, achieving conduction with another group of disinfectant storage bottles 6, thereby completing the rapid switching of the disinfectant filling direction.

[0072] It is worth noting that since the second cam 21 abuts against the first cam 17 only after it moves over the protrusion and accelerates to a certain speed, a certain impact effect will be produced at the moment the two abut. This impact effect prompts the switching head 14 to perform a deflection action at a faster speed, thereby effectively reducing the delay of the switching head 14 in switching the conduction direction.

[0073] When the second cam 21 moves to the end of the third inclined groove 2202, the second groove wheel 16 is again at the end of the retardation groove 1501 away from the translation rod 4, and the first cam 17 is located at the end of the mismatching groove 1801 away from the second cam 21. At this time, the switching head 14 is locked again. This locking state ensures the coaxiality between the right-angle discharge channel 1401 and the catheter 12, ensures the smooth flow of the disinfectant, avoids problems such as poor drainage or leakage of disinfectant due to channel misalignment, and further improves the stability and reliability of the entire disinfection system.

[0074] As an embodiment of the present invention, a method for suction using the traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture tool disinfection device is also proposed, comprising:

[0075] The switching head is connected to the input pipeline of the disinfectant, and then the negative pressure in the disinfectant storage bottle is used to attract the disinfectant. When one group of disinfectant storage bottles stores a predetermined volume of disinfectant, the acupuncture needles are placed in the disinfectant storage bottle. At the same time, the energy storage component is activated to enable the two groups of disinfectant storage bottles to achieve height conversion. During the height conversion process of the two groups of disinfectant storage bottles, the trigger mechanism drives the switching head to rotate, so that the disinfectant can be drained into the other group of disinfectant storage bottles. After that, the other group of acupuncture needles can be placed in the other group of disinfectant storage bottles for disinfection.
