Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to medical devices, and more specifically, to a device for counting and storing discarded acupuncture needles. Background Technology

[0002] Acupuncture, an important component of traditional Chinese medicine, has a history of thousands of years. It regulates Qi and blood, and balances Yin and Yang by stimulating specific acupoints on the body, thereby achieving the purpose of treating diseases. With the development of modern medicine, the safety and hygiene standards of acupuncture treatment have received increasing attention. Currently, disposable acupuncture needles are widely used in clinical practice. This design effectively avoids the risk of cross-infection caused by reuse and meets the hygiene requirements of modern medicine.

[0003] Disposable acupuncture needles are typically made of stainless steel or titanium alloy. Although the materials are relatively soft, they still fall under the category of medical sharps. Therefore, used acupuncture needles must be disposed of according to the regulations for medical sharps. The current method is to place used acupuncture needles into a dedicated sharps container. These containers are usually designed to be puncture-proof and leak-proof, ensuring the safe collection and transportation of medical waste.

[0004] However, in actual clinical practice, due to the small diameter (usually between 0.16-0.35mm) and short length (ranging from 25-75mm) of acupuncture needles, existing sharps containers cannot accurately count the number of needles inserted. This design flaw may lead to the following problems: First, if a needle is missed during removal, it cannot be verified by collecting the needles, increasing the risk of patient injury from a missed needle; second, in the event of a medical dispute, the lack of objective records of needle usage may affect the identification and handling of medical accidents. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Furthermore, the box body includes a main body, a first partition, and a second partition; the main body is cylindrical, the first partition is disposed within the main body to divide the main body into a first storage cavity and a second storage cavity, the second partition is located within the second storage cavity and is disposed perpendicular to the first partition, and further divides the second storage cavity into a third storage cavity; the infrared sensor is provided in the first storage cavity, the second storage cavity, and the third storage cavity, and all the infrared sensors are connected to the first digital display circuit.

[0010] The second storage cavity has a greater depth than the first storage cavity, the first storage cavity has a greater depth than the third storage cavity, and the second storage cavity can accommodate acupuncture needles with a length greater than 50mm, the first storage cavity can accommodate acupuncture needles with a length of 40mm-50mm, and the third storage cavity can accommodate acupuncture needles with a length less than 40mm; the volume of the first storage cavity is greater than the volume of the second storage cavity, and the volume of the second storage cavity is the same as the volume of the third storage cavity.

[0011] Specifically, the waste acupuncture needle counting and storage device provided by the present invention further includes a flip-top assembly, which includes a cover, a torsion spring, and a third suction assembly. The torsion spring is installed at the opening of the box, and one end of the cover is connected to the torsion spring. The third suction assembly is arranged on the box relative to the torsion spring, and the end of the cover away from the torsion spring can be suctioned by the third suction assembly, so that the cover closes the opening. The cover has a first needle inlet corresponding to the first storage cavity, and the first needle inlet has a funnel-shaped structure. The cover has a second needle inlet corresponding to the second storage cavity, and a third needle inlet corresponding to the third storage cavity.

[0017] The present invention provides a waste acupuncture needle counting and storage device, comprising a box and a counting mechanism; the counting mechanism includes a first digital display, a second digital display, an infrared sensor and a pressure sensor, the box having an opening, the infrared sensor being connected to the box and located on the inner wall of the box, and forming a first detection surface at the opening of the box, and the pressure sensor being disposed at the bottom of the box; the first digital display being disposed on the box and connected to the infrared sensor circuit, the second digital display being disposed corresponding to the first digital display and connected to the pressure sensor circuit.

[0018] Analysis shows that the box can hold discarded acupuncture needles, and the infrared sensor installed at the opening can form a first detection surface at the opening and be connected to the circuit of the first digital display. Thus, when the acupuncture needle enters the box, it can be identified by the first detection surface, and the first digital display can count and display the needle.

[0019] Furthermore, since this application further incorporates a pressure sensor at the bottom of the box, when the acupuncture needles reach the bottom of the box, they can be counted again and displayed on a second digital display. When the value displayed on the first digital display matches that on the second digital display, it indicates that the acupuncture needles have fallen smoothly. Conversely, it indicates that the acupuncture needles are stuck or remain at a certain position, or that a foreign object has entered the box but has not fallen. This allows for timely detection of the situation, confirmation of the number of needles, and avoidance of omissions and other problems. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0027] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "inner" and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product is in use. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] The waste acupuncture needle counting and storage device provided in this application includes a box body 1 and a counting mechanism; the counting mechanism includes a first digital display 1061, a second digital display 1062, an infrared sensor, and a pressure sensor. The box body 1 has an opening. The infrared sensor is connected to the box body 1 and is located on the inner wall surface of the box body 1, and can form a first detection surface in the opening of the box body 1. The pressure sensor is located at the bottom of the box body 1. The first digital display 1061 is located on the box body 1 and is connected to the infrared sensor circuit. The second digital display 1062 is located corresponding to the first digital display 1061 and is connected to the pressure sensor circuit.

[0030] Compared with existing technologies, the waste acupuncture needle counting and storage device provided by this invention has the following advantages:

[0031] The waste acupuncture needle counting and storage device provided by the present invention can hold waste acupuncture needles through the box body 1. By setting an infrared sensor at the opening, and the infrared sensor in this application can form a first detection surface at the opening and be connected to the first digital display 1061, when the acupuncture needle enters the box body 1, it can be identified by the first detection surface, so that the first digital display 1061 can count and display.

[0032] Furthermore, since this application further incorporates a pressure sensor at the bottom of the box 1, when the acupuncture needles reach the bottom of the box 1, they can be counted again and displayed on the second digital display 1062. When the value displayed on the first digital display 1061 matches that displayed on the second digital display 1062, it indicates that the acupuncture needles have fallen smoothly. Conversely, it indicates that the acupuncture needles are stuck or remain at a certain position, or that a foreign object has entered the box 1 but has not fallen. This allows for timely detection of the situation, confirmation of the number of needles, and avoidance of omissions and other problems.

[0033] It should be noted that both the infrared sensor and the pressure sensor in this application can be further connected to a PC, so that the number of needles collected each time can be recorded on the PC, and the records can be stored in the computer for later review or to provide relevant evidence in case of disputes.

[0034] Optionally, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the waste acupuncture needle counting and storage device provided by the present invention further includes a first adsorption component and a power supply component 7. The first adsorption component includes a first electromagnet 2 and a control button 9. The first electromagnet 2 is connected to the power supply component 7 by a circuit. The control button 9 is arranged on the circuit between the power supply component 7 and the first electromagnet 2 and is used to turn the first electromagnet 2 on or off. The first electromagnet 2 is arranged at the bottom of the box body 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, the power supply component 7 provides power to the first electromagnet 2, thereby activating the first electromagnet 2 after the control button 9 is pressed. This activates the electromagnet 2, creating an adsorption magnetic field at the bottom to collect discarded acupuncture needles. It is understood that the first electromagnet 2 remains energized when the control button 9 is not pressed again, ensuring the acupuncture needles are always attracted and preventing them from scattering outside the box 1 if it is tilted.

[0036] When it is necessary to empty the acupuncture needles from the box 1, press the control button 9 again to disconnect the power supply to the first electromagnet 2. After the first electromagnet 2 loses its power supply, it no longer exerts a suction force on the acupuncture needles, thus emptying the acupuncture needles.

[0037] Optionally, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the waste acupuncture needle counting and storage device in this application also includes a second adsorption component, which includes a second electromagnet 3 and a third electromagnet 4. The second electromagnet 3 and the third electromagnet 4 are disposed opposite to each other on the side wall of the box 1. The second electromagnet 3 and the third electromagnet 4 are both connected to the power supply component 7. The magnetic force generated by the second electromagnet 3 after being energized is greater than the magnetic force generated by the third electromagnet 4 after being energized. The control button 9 is arranged to turn the second electromagnet 3 and the third electromagnet 4 on or off.

[0038] In this application, the second electromagnet 3 and the third electromagnet 4 are arranged on the side wall inside the box 1 and are positioned opposite each other. Since the magnetic force of the second electromagnet 3 is greater than that of the third electromagnet 4, a stepped magnetic field distribution can be formed inside the box 1. This causes the discarded acupuncture needles falling into the box 1 to be attracted by the second electromagnet 3 first. As the number of acupuncture needles increases, the acupuncture needles farther away from the second electromagnet 3 are attracted by the second electromagnet 3 less. Since the third electromagnet 4 does not attract acupuncture needles in the initial stage, the acupuncture needles will move towards the third electromagnet 4 and gradually accumulate. When the number of acupuncture needles accumulates to a certain extent, the process of being attracted by the second electromagnet 3 and then by the third electromagnet 4 will be repeated until the box 1 is full.

[0039] It is understandable that, since the on / off state of the first electromagnet 2, the second electromagnet 3, and the third electromagnet 4 in this application is controlled by a control switch, when the box 1 is full, the power supply to the first electromagnet 2, the second electromagnet 3, and the third electromagnet 4 can be disconnected by the control button 9, so that the first electromagnet 2, the second electromagnet 3, and the third electromagnet 4 no longer generate magnetic attraction to the acupuncture needles, thereby realizing the pouring out of the acupuncture needles.

[0040] In actual operation, pressing control button 9 activates the first electromagnet 2, the second electromagnet 3, and the third electromagnet 4, ensuring that the acupuncture needles fall vertically into the box 1. Under the action of the second electromagnet 3, the needles move towards the second electromagnet 3 until they are attracted by it. As the number of acupuncture needles attracted by the second electromagnet 3 increases, the needles falling into the box 1 can be attracted by the third electromagnet 4, thus achieving a uniform and regular distribution of the acupuncture needles back into the box 1. This allows the box to hold more acupuncture needles and improves space utilization.

[0041] Optionally, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the box 1 in this application includes a main body, a first partition 101, and a second partition 102. The main body is cylindrical. The first partition 101 is disposed inside the main body and divides the main body into a first storage cavity 103 and a second storage cavity 104. The second partition 102 is located inside the second storage cavity 104 and is perpendicular to the first partition 101. It further divides the second storage cavity 104 into a third storage cavity 105. Infrared sensors are provided in the first storage cavity 103, the second storage cavity 104, and the third storage cavity 105. All infrared sensors are connected to the circuit of the first digital display 1061.

[0042] Due to the size differences of acupuncture needles, the design of the first partition 101 and the second partition 102 can divide the needles into three storage cavities, thereby enabling more targeted classification and categorization.

[0043] It is understandable that, such as Figure 2 Combination Figure 3 As shown, the depth of the second storage cavity 104 in this application is greater than the depth of the first storage cavity 103, the depth of the first storage cavity 103 is greater than the depth of the third storage cavity 105, and the second storage cavity 104 can accommodate acupuncture needles with a length greater than 50mm, the first storage cavity 103 can accommodate acupuncture needles with a length of 40mm-50mm, and the third storage cavity 105 can accommodate acupuncture needles with a length less than 40mm; the volume of the first storage cavity 103 is greater than the volume of the second storage cavity 104, and the volume of the second storage cavity 104 is the same as the volume of the third storage cavity 105.

[0044] Typically, acupuncture needles are mostly 40mm-50mm in length. Therefore, by maximizing the volume of the first receiving cavity 103, more acupuncture needles of 40mm-50mm in length can be accommodated. Longer needles of 70mm and shorter needles of 25mm are accommodated in the second receiving cavity 104 and the third receiving cavity 105, respectively. Since there is a difference in depth between the second receiving cavity 104 and the third receiving cavity 105 in this application, longer acupuncture needles cannot enter the third receiving cavity 105. However, in order to more clearly distinguish the internal depth, size or text markings can be set on the cover 5 corresponding to the positions of the second needle inlet 502 and the third needle inlet 503, so that the physician can more intuitively distinguish the depth of the receiving cavity and reduce the problem of size mismatch to a certain extent.

[0045] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the flip-top assembly in this application includes a cover 5, a torsion spring, and a third suction assembly. The torsion spring is installed at the opening of the box 1, and one end of the cover 5 is connected to the torsion spring. The third suction assembly is arranged at the position of the box 1 relative to the torsion spring, and the end of the cover 5 away from the torsion spring can be suctioned by the third suction assembly, so that the cover 5 closes the opening. A first needle inlet 501 is formed on the cover 5 at the position corresponding to the first storage cavity 103. The first needle inlet 501 has a funnel-shaped structure. A second needle inlet 502 is formed on the cover 5 at the position corresponding to the second storage cavity 104, and a third needle inlet 503 is formed on the cover 5 at the position corresponding to the third storage cavity 105.

[0046] The cover 5 can be flipped relative to the box 1 by a torsion spring. The cover 5 in this application is made of a material that can be magnetically attracted, such as iron. The cover 5 can be attracted by the third adsorption component, so that the cover 5 can close the opening. When the cover 5 needs to be opened, the medical staff only needs to forcefully turn the cover 5, and the torsion spring will restore the cover 5. When the opening needs to be closed again, the cover 5 only needs to be flipped so that the cover 5 contacts the third adsorption component again, thereby achieving rapid closure of the opening.

[0047] Understandably, since most acupuncture needles used in actual practice are 40mm and 50mm in length, the first receiving cavity 103 has a larger volume. Furthermore, the funnel-shaped structure formed by the first needle inlet 501 of the first receiving cavity 103 guides the acupuncture needle as it enters the inlet 501, eliminating the need for strenuous alignment and improving needle removal efficiency. Accordingly, the aforementioned infrared sensor is positioned at the first needle inlet 501 to detect and count the acupuncture needles.

[0048] The cover 5, corresponding to the positions of the second needle inlet 502 and the third needle inlet 503, can also form a funnel-shaped structure, or it can be a planar structure with direct openings, thereby enabling the retrieval of long and short needles. Accordingly, infrared sensors also need to be installed at the positions corresponding to the second needle inlet 502 and the third needle inlet 503, and all three infrared sensors are connected to the circuit of the first digital display 1061 to realize the counting of acupuncture needles.

[0049] Preferably, an anti-debris mesh can be further provided at the first needle inlet 501, and the mesh diameter can be larger than the diameter of the acupuncture needle, so that the acupuncture needle can pass through smoothly and to a certain extent prevent large foreign objects from entering the box 1.

[0050] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, the third adsorption component in this application includes a fourth electromagnet 12, a relay 8, and a master control switch; the relay 8 is disposed on the circuit of the fourth electromagnet 12 and the power supply component 7, and the relay 8 forms a self-locking circuit on the circuit of the fourth electromagnet 12; the master control switch includes a normally closed button 10 and a normally open switch 11, the normally closed button 10 is located between the first adsorption component and the second adsorption component and the power supply component 7, and the normally open switch 11 is located between the power supply component 7 and the relay 8.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, the relay 8 can be used to realize the self-locking circuit of the fourth electromagnet 12. That is, when the normally closed button 10 is pressed, the normally open switch 11 is closed, thereby energizing the relay 8. In this way, the relay 8 can be used to form a self-locking circuit, so that the fourth electromagnet 12 is always energized, so as to achieve the constant attraction of the cover 5.

[0052] It is understandable that, since the normally closed button 10 in this application is located at the front end of the control button 9, when the normally closed button 10 is pressed, the circuit formed by the first adsorption component and the second adsorption component is de-energized, so that the first electromagnet 2, the second electromagnet 3 and the third electromagnet 4 cannot adsorb the acupuncture needle, thereby realizing the pouring out of the acupuncture needle.

[0053] Optionally, such as Figures 1-3As shown, a handle 6 is formed on the housing 1 of this application, a normally closed button 10 and a control button 9 are integrated on the handle 6, and a power supply component 7 is disposed inside the handle 6.

[0054] In this application, a battery compartment may also be provided inside the handle 6, thereby enabling it to provide power input to the overall device as the aforementioned power supply component 7.

[0055] Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this application, the housing 1 has a hand guard 106 formed at the position corresponding to the handle 6, and the hand guard 106 covers part of the handle 6.

[0056] Since doctors often accidentally prick their skin when removing needles, which can easily lead to cross-infection, this application further forms a hand guard 106 at the position corresponding to the handle 6 on the box body 1. This hand guard 106 can cover part of the handle 6, so that when the doctor holds the storage device through the handle 6, the hand guard 106 can cover the hand, thereby avoiding the problem of acupuncture needles pricking the doctor to a certain extent.

[0057] It should be added here that, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first digital display 1061 and the second digital display 1062 mentioned above in this application are integrated on the hand guard 106. Since the hand guard 106 and the housing 1 are an integral structure, the integration of the first digital display 1061 and the second digital display 1062 on the hand guard 106 facilitates wiring, and the structure is stable and not easily damaged, while also being convenient for observation.

[0058] Optionally, such as Figure 2 Combination Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the box 1 in this application has a plurality of receiving grooves 107, and the diameter of the plurality of receiving grooves 107 gradually increases outward from the center of the bottom of the box 1, and the plurality of receiving grooves 107 are equally spaced.

[0059] The formed receiving groove 107 can accommodate part of the needle body, so that the acupuncture needle can be kept in the box 1 in a vertical state, making the arrangement of the acupuncture needle more neat and thus improving the space utilization rate.

[0060] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0061] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
