Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically referring to a sterilizer for traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture tools. Background Technology
[0002] Acupuncture needles are divided into disposable and reusable needles. To avoid cross-infection, disposable acupuncture needles are sterile, single-use products and must not be reused. Reusable acupuncture needles are non-disposable sterile needles, mostly made of stainless steel or silver. The needle body includes the handle and the tip, and is resistant to repeated sterilization. Generally, acupuncture needles need to be cleaned manually. Place the needles in a basket and rinse them under running water to initially remove contaminants. Then, completely immerse them in a cleaning agent or enzyme-containing solution for 10-30 minutes. During this time, the needles can be moved with tweezers or other instruments to achieve the purpose of cleaning. After washing, wrap the acupuncture needles with 75% alcohol cotton balls and wipe them repeatedly in one direction from the handle to the tip to achieve thorough sterilization. When wiping with alcohol cotton balls, the handle end of the acupuncture needles should first be aligned and the tips should be aligned in the same direction before wiping. The above process requires manual alignment of each needle, which is tedious, inefficient, and can easily cause the acupuncture needles to bend.
[0003] Therefore, a sterilizer for traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture tools is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this invention provides a sterilizer for traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture instruments. The acupuncture needles are fed in an orderly manner through a placement box, a rotating body, and a swing linkage component. The needles are then aligned and fixed by a screening triangular plate, a sequential arrangement component, and a pressing component. Finally, an alcohol swab is used to wipe and sterilize the needles by a reciprocating wiping component and a wiping opening and closing component. This solves the problems of cumbersome, inefficient, and easily bent operation of traditional manual needle stacking.

During the process of the long shaft of the cam 25 gradually changing from contact with the transmission frame 26 to contact with the short shaft of the cam 25, the electromagnet 34 is in an energized state, ensuring that the alcohol cotton swab 30 wipes unidirectionally from the needle handle to the needle tip.
[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the sequential arrangement assembly 13 includes a baffle 35, a placement plate 36, an adjusting shaft 37, and a second motor 38. The inner sidewall of the operating slot 12 of the side seat 11 is symmetrically provided with limiting grooves 39. The two sidewalls of the baffle 35 are symmetrically provided with limiting strips 40. The baffle 35 is vertically slidably disposed in the operating slot 12, and the limiting strips 40 are slidably disposed in the limiting grooves 39. One end of the adjusting shaft 37 is rotatably disposed in the inner sidewall of the operating slot 12, and the other end of the adjusting shaft 37 passes through the sidewall of the side seat 11. The second motor 38 is disposed in the outer sidewall of the side seat 11 and is connected to the adjusting shaft 37. The placement plate 36 is located in the operating slot 12 and one end of it is disposed on the adjusting shaft 37.
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the swing linkage assembly 10 includes a U-shaped frame 41, an incomplete gear 42, a linkage rack 43, a linkage rod 44, a guide plate 45, a connecting rod 46, a transmission rack 47, and a transmission gear 48. The incomplete gear 42 is mounted on the rotating shaft 20. The guide plate 45 is mounted on one side wall of the connecting seat 6. The linkage rod 44 is slidably mounted on the guide plate 45. The U-shaped frame 41 is located at the lower end of the linkage rod 44. The linkage rack 43 is symmetrically mounted on the two symmetrical inner side walls of the U-shaped frame 41. The linkage rack 43 intermittently meshes with the incomplete gear 42. The transmission gear 48 is mounted on the linkage shaft 21. The lower end of the transmission rack 47 is mounted on the upper end of the linkage rod 44 via the connecting rod 46. The transmission gear 48 meshes with the transmission rack 47.
[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the clamping assembly 14 includes a clamping plate 49, a linkage plate 50, a fixing plate 51, and a hydraulic telescopic rod 52. The side wall of the side seat 11 is symmetrically provided with clamping grooves 53. The clamping plate 49 is slidably disposed in the clamping grooves 53. The linkage plate 50 is disposed on the upper wall of the clamping plate 49. The fixing plate 51 is disposed on both sides of the operating seam 12 on the upper wall of the side seat 11. The two ends of the hydraulic telescopic rod 52 are respectively disposed on the fixing plate 51 and the linkage plate 50.
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a main motor 54 is provided on the side wall of the connecting seat 6 away from the swing linkage component 10, and the main motor 54 is connected to the rotating shaft 20.
[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the two ends of the screening triangle plate 5 extend to the operation slot 12 of the side seat 11. When the acupuncture needle slides down the inclined surface of the screening triangle plate 5, the acupuncture needle can enter the operation slot 12.
[0031] In practical use, the rinsed acupuncture needles are placed in the placement box 7. The main motor 54 is turned on, which drives the rotating shaft 20 to rotate. The rotating shaft 20 drives the rotating body 8 to rotate, which in turn drives another rotating shaft 20 to rotate. The rotating shaft 20 drives the incomplete gear 42 to rotate. The incomplete gear 42 intermittently meshes with the linkage racks 43 on both sides, causing the linkage racks 43 to move up and down. The linkage racks 43 drive the U-shaped frame 41 to move up and down, which in turn drives the linkage rod 44 to move up and down. The linkage rod 44 drives the connecting rod 46 and the transmission rack 47 to move up and down. The transmission rack 47 meshes with the transmission gear 48, which drives the linkage shaft 21 to rotate. The linkage shaft 21 causes the placement box 7 to swing, and the acupuncture needles move within the placement box 7. The acupuncture needles fall one by one into the feeding slot 56. When the feeding slot 56 aligns with the connecting slot 55, the acupuncture needle falls into the connecting slot 55. During the rotation of the rotating body 8, when the storage trough 9 aligns with the connecting slot 55, the acupuncture needle falls into the storage trough 9. As the rotating body 8 rotates, when the storage trough 9 aligns with the feeding slot 4, the acupuncture needle falls into the feeding slot 4. The acupuncture needle falls onto the screening triangle plate 5. Because the weight of the needle handle end is greater than the weight of the needle tip, the needle handle end of the acupuncture needle tilts downward and slides down the inclined surface of the screening triangle plate 5. The acupuncture needle falls onto the placement plate 36. In the initial state, the end of the placement plate 36 near the stop bar 35 tilts downward, so the acupuncture needles will be arranged and stacked on the placement plate 36 in an upward sequence, and the needle handle end of the acupuncture needle... When all the acupuncture needles in the placement box 7 are sorted and placed sequentially on the placement plates 36 on both sides, the second motor 38 is turned on. The second motor 38 drives the adjusting shaft 37 to rotate, which in turn drives the placement plate 36 to rotate, making the placement plate 36 horizontal. During this process, the needle handle end of the acupuncture needle is always in contact with the stop bar 35, and both ends of all the acupuncture needles are aligned, with the needle tip inside the notch 15. Then, the hydraulic telescopic rod 52 is shortened, which drives the linkage plate 50 to move towards the side seat 11. The linkage plate 50 drives the pressing plate 49 to move, and the pressing plates 49 on both sides press and fix the needle handle end of the acupuncture needle. Then, the first motor 24 is turned on, which drives the central shaft 23 to rotate, and the central shaft 23 drives... As cam 25 rotates, and its contact with the transmission frame 26 gradually changes from short shaft to long shaft, cam 25 pushes the transmission frame 26 outward. The transmission frame 26 then moves the sliding shaft 32, the docking plate 29, and the alcohol swabs 30 towards the tip of the acupuncture needle. During this process, electromagnet 34 is de-energized, and the tip of the acupuncture needle is positioned between the alcohol swabs 30 on both sides. When cam 25's contact with the transmission frame 26 gradually changes from long shaft to short shaft, the reciprocating spring 27 pulls the transmission frames 26 back towards the center. During this process, electromagnet 34 is energized, and it moves the spring baffle 33 towards the transmission frame 26. The spring baffle 33 then pushes the sliding shaft 32 inward.The sliding shaft 32 pushes the docking plate 29 and the alcohol swab 30 inward. The alcohol swab 30 presses against the tip of the acupuncture needle. As the cam 25 rotates, the alcohol swab 30 moves from the handle end of the acupuncture needle to the tip, simultaneously disinfecting the acupuncture needle. After disinfection, the hydraulic telescopic rod 52 is extended, which drives the linkage plate 50 to move outward. The linkage plate 50 drives the pressing plate 49 to move outward, and the pressing plate 49 loosens the needle handle of the acupuncture needle. The motor 2 38 is rotated, which drives the adjusting shaft 37 to rotate. The adjusting shaft 37 drives the placement plate 36 to rotate. The end of the placement plate 36 near the stop bar 35 is tilted downward. Then, the stop bar 35 is pulled out of the operating seam 12 by external force. The acupuncture needle slides down along the placement plate 36 and slides out of the operating seam 12.
