Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically referring to a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture box. Background Technology

[0002] Acupuncture is a general term encompassing needling and moxibustion. Needling refers to the practice of inserting needles into the patient's body at specific angles, using techniques such as twisting and lifting to stimulate specific points on the body, thereby achieving therapeutic effects. The insertion points are called acupoints, or simply points.

[0003] While existing acupuncture needle storage boxes can serve the purpose of storing acupuncture needles, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners often perform acupuncture on patients while leaning over. To ensure the accuracy of acupuncture points, they sometimes need to use both hands to operate the needles and then stand up to retrieve them, which is very inconvenient. When a large number of acupuncture needles are used, the practitioner's body and arms will become fatigued, thus affecting the accuracy of subsequent acupuncture.

[0004] Therefore, a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture box is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture box, which can be fixed to the wrist of the acupuncturist by a clamp, and the acupuncture needle is automatically delivered and extended by the cooperation of a rotating cylinder, a delivery transmission component and an acupuncture needle delivery component. With the help of an automatic locking component for positioning, the doctor can conveniently remove the needle without getting up during acupuncture, reducing physical fatigue and ensuring the accuracy of acupuncture.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows: This invention proposes a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture box, including a fixed platform, a clamp at the lower part of the fixed platform, an inner fixed cylinder at the upper side of the fixed platform via a fixed frame, a placement cavity at the lower part of the inner fixed cylinder via a side plate and a support plate, symmetrical needle drop slits on the outer wall of the inner fixed cylinder, a rotating cylinder rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the inner fixed cylinder, retaining rings at both ends of the rotating cylinder, a needle placement groove on the inner wall of the rotating cylinder, a guide frame inside the inner fixed cylinder, an outfeed transmission assembly on the inner fixed cylinder and the rotating cylinder, an acupuncture needle outfeed assembly on the inner fixed cylinder and the outfeed transmission assembly, a rear cover fixed to the side wall of the fixed frame via a connecting platform, the rear cover being fitted onto the end of the rotating cylinder, and an automatic locking assembly on the upper part of the rear cover.

[0007] Furthermore, the guide frame includes a guide body, the upper wall of which is provided with a guide groove, the guide body is inclined upward from one end of the inner fixed cylinder near the rear cover toward the other end, and the lower wall of the guide body is fixed to the upper wall of the support plate by a support column.

[0008] Furthermore, the acupuncture needle delivery assembly includes a sliding groove, a guide wall, a support plate, a hinge frame, a connecting rod, a movable sleeve, and a connecting column. The sliding groove has a U-shaped cross-section and is slidably disposed within the guide groove. The guide wall is symmetrically disposed on the upper outer wall of the sliding groove. The hinge frame is symmetrically disposed on the lower wall of the guide wall and located on both sides of the guide body. The upper end of the connecting rod is hinged to the hinge frame. The movable sleeve is sleeved on the lower end of the connecting rod. The two movable sleeves are fixed together by the connecting column. The support plate is disposed at the lower end connection between the sliding groove and the guide wall.

[0009] Furthermore, the output transmission assembly includes a reciprocating screw, a mounting plate, an upper pulley, a lower pulley, a transmission belt, a transmission gear, a transmission gear ring, and a transmission shaft. The mounting plate is disposed on the upper wall of the support plate. The reciprocating screw passes through the support column and the connecting column. One end of the reciprocating screw is rotatably disposed on the side wall of the mounting plate. One end of the transmission shaft is rotatably disposed on the outer wall of the side plate. The other end of the transmission shaft is rotatably disposed on the fixed frame. The upper pulley is disposed on the other end of the reciprocating screw. The lower pulley is disposed on the transmission shaft. The transmission belt is disposed on the upper pulley and the lower pulley. The transmission gear is disposed on the transmission shaft. The transmission gear ring is disposed on the outer wall of the retaining ring. The transmission gear meshes with the transmission gear ring.

[0010] Furthermore, the automatic locking assembly includes a baffle, a compression spring, a connecting frame, a pressure rod, and a pressure ball. The connecting frame is located at the edge of the outer end face of the rear cover. The pressure rod is slidably mounted on the connecting frame. The pressure ball is located at the lower end of the pressure rod. The baffle is located at the upper end of the pressure ball. The compression spring is sleeved on the pressure rod. Both ends of the compression spring are fixed to the lower wall of the baffle and the upper wall of the connecting frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer wall of the rotating cylinder is symmetrically provided with grooves, and the grooves are on the same circumference as the pressure ball.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper wall of the support plate is provided with a needle insertion port.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner wall of the guide wall is inclined toward the sliding groove.

[0014] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention using the above structure are as follows: 1. The clamp can be directly fixed to the wrist of the doctor performing acupuncture, without the need to place it on a table or other location. When the doctor bends over to perform acupuncture, there is no need to get up to remove the needle, which completely solves the inconvenience of having to get up to remove the needle in the traditional way. 2. The linkage between the delivery transmission component and the acupuncture needle delivery component can be triggered by rotating the rotating cylinder, realizing the automatic delivery and extension of the acupuncture needle. No complicated operation with both hands is required. Needle preparation can be completed with one hand, which is suitable for the operation requirements of locating acupoints with both hands during acupuncture. 3. It avoids the physical and arm fatigue caused by frequently getting up and raising your hand to remove needles, effectively relieving the doctor's workload, avoiding the problem of decreased accuracy of subsequent needle application due to fatigue, and improving the operational stability of acupuncture treatment; 4. The automatic locking component can accurately position the rotation of the rotating cylinder, so that the feeding, conveying and extension of acupuncture needles are carried out in an orderly manner, ensuring the continuity and accuracy of the needle removal action. In addition, the linkage design between the rotation of the rotating cylinder and the acupuncture needle delivery can realize continuous needle replenishment and removal, which can meet the clinical needs of multi-needle acupuncture.

[0015] 5. The combination of the placement cavity, needle drop suture, and needle slot enables the orderly storage of acupuncture needles. The inclined guide frame and the sliding structure of the acupuncture needle delivery component allow the acupuncture needles to be smoothly and steadily delivered to the needle retrieval position, avoiding needle jamming. At the same time, the design of the needle placement port makes it convenient to put the acupuncture needles into the storage structure in the early stage. Attached Figure Description

The transmission belt 32 is located on the upper pulley 30 and the lower pulley 31. The transmission gear 33 is located on the transmission shaft 35. The transmission gear ring 34 is located on the outer wall of the retaining ring 10, and the transmission gear 33 meshes with the transmission gear ring 34.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the automatic locking assembly 17 includes a baffle 36, a compression spring 37, a connecting frame 38, a pressure rod 39, and a pressure ball 40. The connecting frame 38 is located at the edge of the outer end face of the rear cover 16. The pressure rod 39 is slidably mounted on the connecting frame 38. The pressure ball 40 is located at the lower end of the pressure rod 39. The baffle 36 is located at the upper end of the pressure ball 40. The compression spring 37 is sleeved on the pressure rod 39. The two ends of the compression spring 37 are fixed to the lower wall of the baffle 36 and the upper wall of the connecting frame 38.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 9 is symmetrically provided with grooves 41, and the grooves 41 and the pressure ball 40 are on the same circumference.

[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the upper wall of the support plate 6 is provided with a needle placement port 42, which facilitates the insertion of acupuncture needles into the placement cavity 7.

[0028] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the inner wall of the guide wall 22 is inclined toward the sliding groove 21.

[0029] In practical use, the clamp 2 is placed on the wrist of the acupuncturist, with the fixing platform 1 and the rotating cylinder 9 facing upwards. Initially, the pressure ball 40 is in the groove 41, and the needle placement groove 11 of the rotating cylinder 9 is aligned with the needle drop slit 8. The handle of the acupuncture needle is facing outwards, and it is placed into the placement cavity 7. After the acupuncture needle falls into the placement cavity 7, it passes through the needle drop slit 8 and then falls into the needle placement groove 11. At the same time, the sliding groove 21, the guide wall 22, and the support plate 23 are at the upper end of the guide body 18. When it is necessary to remove the needle, the rotating cylinder 9 is rotated. The rotating cylinder 9 drives the transmission gear ring 34 to rotate. Ring 34 meshes with transmission gear 33, which drives transmission shaft 35 to rotate. Transmission shaft 35 drives lower pulley 31 to rotate, and lower pulley 31 drives upper pulley 30 to rotate via transmission belt 32. Upper pulley 30 drives reciprocating screw 28 to rotate, and reciprocating screw 28 drives connecting column 27 to move inward. Connecting column 27 drives connecting rod 25, hinge frame 24, and guide wall 22 to move inward until they reach the lower end of guide body 18. During this process, groove 41 on the lower side of rotating cylinder 9 rotates 180 degrees with the cylinder to below pressure ball 40, and pressure ball 40 is engaged. Within the groove 41, as the rotating cylinder 9 rotates, it drives the acupuncture needle to rotate into the needle-dropping slot 8 above the inner fixed cylinder 3. The acupuncture needle falls from the needle-dropping slot 8 into the inner fixed cylinder 3, and then into the sliding groove 21 between the guide walls 22, where it is blocked by the support plate 23. The rotating cylinder 9 continues to rotate, driving the transmission gear ring 34 to rotate. The transmission gear ring 34 meshes with the transmission gear 33, which drives the transmission shaft 35 to rotate. The transmission shaft 35 drives the lower pulley 31 to rotate, and the lower pulley 31 drives the upper pulley 30 to rotate via the transmission belt 32. The upper pulley 30 then drives... The reciprocating screw 28 rotates, which drives the connecting column 27 to move outward. The connecting column 27 drives the connecting rod 25, the hinge frame 24 and the guide wall 22 to move outward. The guide wall 22 drives the sliding groove 21 to move upward along the guide groove 19, thereby driving the acupuncture needle to move upward along the guide groove 19. The handle end of the acupuncture needle extends out from the inner fixed cylinder 3, making it convenient for the acupuncturist to directly remove the needle. At this time, the acupuncture needle in the placement cavity 7 is aligned again with the needle placement groove 11 and the needle drop slit 8, and falls into the needle placement groove 11 after passing through the needle drop slit 8. The above operation is repeated to facilitate the acupuncturist to remove the needle.

[0030] It should be noted that although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.

[0031] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the spirit of the invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
