Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture, and in particular to a silver needle storage device for acupuncture treatment. Background Art

[0002] Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical treatment method that uses traditional Chinese medicine knowledge to insert silver needles into the patient's acupuncture points at a certain angle. The silver needles used in acupuncture are composed of a needle body and a needle handle, and a ring is set on the needle handle.

[0003] In the prior art, silver needles are generally inserted into a cloth bag. Before acupuncture, doctors need to disinfect and sterilize the silver needles one by one. The common method is to disinfect by fire or alcohol, which is cumbersome and also delays the efficiency of acupuncture. After searching, Chinese utility model patents with authorization announcement numbers CN213666756U and CN216676454U were found, both of which disclose a disinfection and storage structure for silver needles for acupuncture. Both of them use a storage box to store the silver needles, and the storage box is provided with a disinfection medium such as alcohol or disinfectant. The disinfection medium is used to disinfect the silver needles. The disinfection method is wiping. The doctor draws a silver needle, and the silver needle can be disinfected once, which is convenient and quick. However, this disinfection method requires that the disinfection medium be replaced after the acupuncture is completed to prevent the disinfection medium from becoming ineffective or causing cross infection due to repeated use. Frequent replacement of the disinfection medium will increase the difficulty of storing the silver needles and increase the workload of the doctor. Based on this, the utility model proposes a silver needle storage device for acupuncture treatment. Utility Model Content

[0029] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the utility model, the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] Reference Figure 1-5A silver needle storage device for acupuncture treatment comprises a base 1, a cylinder shell 2 and a top cover 3, wherein the upper and lower ends of the cylinder shell 2 are open and the lower open end is mounted on the base 1, and the outer cylindrical surface of the base 1 is provided with a vertically arranged connecting rod 101, and the top cover 3 is hingedly arranged at the upper end of the connecting rod 101 and the top cover 3 is used to block the upper open end of the cylinder shell 2. The doctor can manually turn the top cover 3 to open the cylinder shell 2. The top cover 3 and the upper open end of the cylinder shell 2 can be connected by magnetic adsorption force or snap connection, which can be achieved in the prior art and will not be elaborated.

[0032] A storage component is arranged in the cylindrical shell 2, and the storage component includes storage rings 202 which are arranged in sequence. For example, in this scheme, three storage rings 202 are arranged, and storage ring one is arranged in the cylindrical shell 2, storage ring two is arranged in storage ring one, and storage ring three is arranged in storage ring two, and the upper end of storage ring three is higher than the upper end of storage ring two, and the upper end of storage ring two is higher than the upper end of storage ring one. The significance of this is that it is convenient for doctors to take silver needles.

[0033] A receiving hole 204 is provided through the end surface of the receiving ring 202. The receiving hole 204 includes an upper cylindrical section and a lower conical section. The diameter of the lower conical section increases from bottom to top. The diameter of the lower end of the lower conical section is larger than the outer diameter of the silver needle body. The diameter of the upper cylindrical section is larger than the outer diameter of the needle handle and smaller than the outer diameter of the ring on the needle handle.

[0034] A light source 103 is arranged on the base 1. The light source 103 is an ultraviolet lamp technology and is used to disinfect and sterilize the silver needles.

[0035] The working principle of the first embodiment is:

[0036] Before acupuncture, the light source 103 is powered on in advance, and the silver needles are sterilized by ultraviolet disinfection. After a preset time, the sterilization is completed. Then, the doctor opens the top cover 3 and takes out the silver needles for acupuncture on the patient. Since the upper end heights of the plurality of storage rings 202 increase from the outside to the inside, it is more convenient for the doctor to take the silver needles on the inner storage ring 202 without being disturbed by the silver needles on the outer storage ring 202, that is, it is more convenient to take the silver needles.

[0037] After acupuncture is completed, the doctor inserts the silver needle into the storage hole 204. Since the upper hole of the storage hole 204 is significantly larger than the needle body of the silver needle, the doctor can easily insert the silver needle into the storage hole 204. Afterwards, under the guidance of the outer cylindrical surface of the lower truncated cone section, the silver needle can be smoothly inserted into the storage hole 204, and the silver needle is supported by the cooperation of the circular ring on the needle handle and the upper end surface of the storage ring 202. It should be noted that after the silver needle is stored, the needle handle is located in the storage hole 204, but the needle body is located below the storage ring 202, so that the needle body can be irradiated by the light source 103, and the disinfection effect is better.

[0038] Embodiment 2

[0039] Before acupuncture, the silver needles are disinfected by ultraviolet disinfection. However, during acupuncture, the shell 2 is open. It takes a certain amount of time for the doctor to identify the acupuncture points and insert the silver needles into the acupuncture points. During this period of time, the remaining silver needles are exposed. Therefore, during acupuncture, in order to ensure the disinfection effect, the light source 103 should be turned on continuously to keep the silver needles on the storage ring 202 disinfected. However, in this way, when the doctor takes the silver needles, his hands will inevitably be exposed to ultraviolet radiation, which will affect the doctor's health over time. Therefore, based on the first embodiment, the second embodiment is proposed, specifically:

[0040] Reference Figure 1-Figure 6 The shell 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1. A reflective surface 205 is disposed at the lower end of the storage ring 202. The reflective surface 205 is located between two adjacent storage holes 204. A plurality of reflective surfaces 205 are disposed correspondingly. Each reflective surface 205 is composed of two inclined surfaces, and the distance between the two inclined surfaces decreases from bottom to top.

[0041] The light source 103 includes a vertically arranged lampshade and a lamp bead arranged at the bottom of the lampshade. A collimator is arranged above the lamp bead. The collimator can be realized by existing technology. It is used to change the beam diameter and divergence angle, so that the ultraviolet light emitted by the lamp bead can be irradiated upward in the shape of a beam and the outer diameter of the beam is larger than the outer diameter of the silver needle. Several light sources 103 are correspondingly arranged. Initially, the light source 103 is located directly below the storage hole 204.

[0042] The working principle of the second embodiment is:

[0043] During the disinfection process before acupuncture, the light source 103 is located directly below the storage hole 204, and the silver needle is disinfected by ultraviolet irradiation, and the disinfection effect is good. After the disinfection is completed, before the cylinder shell 2 is opened, the cylinder shell 2 is rotated first so that the light source 103 is located directly below the reflecting surface 205. In this way, the ultraviolet rays are reflected by the two inclined surfaces of the reflecting surface 205 and then irradiated downward to irradiate the lower half of the silver needle body. The silver needle is still disinfected, and at this time, the doctor will not be exposed to ultraviolet rays when taking the silver needle. After acupuncture is completed, the light source 103 is powered off, and the cylinder shell 2 is rotated to reset the interface.

[0044] In the preferred embodiment, in order to avoid the rotation transition of the shell 2, which may cause the position of the light source 103 to be adjusted incorrectly, and also to avoid the shell 2 from being easily rotated by people around after rotation, which may cause the position of the light source 103 to change. Figure 3 The outer circumferential surface of the cylinder shell 2 is provided with a side rod 201, and the bottom of the side rod 201 is provided with a damping groove 203. Figure 5A support 102 with an open upper end and a closed lower end extends from the outer circumferential surface of the base 1. A damping assembly 4 is arranged on the support 102. The damping assembly 4 is arranged in two groups.

[0045] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 The damping assembly 4 includes a mounting hole arranged at the bottom of the support 102 cavity, a hole cover 402 is arranged at the lower hole opening of the mounting hole, a damping pin 401 is sleeved in the mounting hole, the upper end of the damping pin 401 is spherical and extends out of the mounting hole, a spring 403 is arranged between the damping pin 401 and the hole cover 402, and initially, the upper end of the damping pin 401 in a group of damping assemblies 4 is located in the damping groove 203.

[0046] When the cylindrical shell 2 is rotated, the rotational displacement of the cylindrical shell 2 is limited by the two side surfaces of the support 102 along the circumferential direction of the base 1 to prevent the cylindrical shell 2 from rotating excessively. In addition, when the rotation of the cylindrical shell 2 ends, the upper end of the damping pin 401 will be located in the damping groove 203, so that the force required for the cylindrical shell 2 to rotate again is slightly larger, so as to prevent people around from accidentally touching the cylindrical shell 2 and causing the cylindrical shell 2 to rotate, resulting in a change in the position of the light source 103.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, in order to prevent the doctor from opening the top cover 3 without rotating the cylinder shell 2, the position of the light source 103 does not change, and the doctor is still exposed to ultraviolet rays when taking the silver needle. Therefore, magnet one can be set at the upper end of the cylinder shell 2 and magnet two can be set at the lower end of the top cover 3. The connection between the top cover 3 and the cylinder shell 2 is completed by magnetic adsorption of magnet one and magnet two. After the cylinder shell 2 rotates to change the position of the light source 103, magnet one and magnet two are misaligned, so the doctor can easily open the top cover 3. On the contrary, if the cylinder shell 2 does not rotate, then under the hindrance of the magnetic adsorption force, the doctor can clearly feel the resistance to opening the top cover 3, and then realize that the cylinder shell 2 has not rotated, which serves as a reminder.

[0048] Embodiment 3

[0049] Based on the first embodiment, a third embodiment is proposed:

[0050] Reference Figure 7 The light source 103 includes a light source 1 located directly below the storage hole 204 and a light source 2 located directly below the reflective surface 205. The light source 103 is the same as the second embodiment, and the ultraviolet light emitted by the light source 103 is irradiated in the form of a light beam. All light sources 1 are connected in series and are controlled by the control switch 1, and all light sources 2 are connected in series and are controlled by the control switch 2. In this way, during the disinfection process before acupuncture, the control switches 1 and 2 are both closed, and the light sources 1 and 2 are both powered on to achieve the disinfection of the silver needles. During the acupuncture process after the disinfection is completed, the control switch 1 is disconnected, the light source 1 is powered off, the control switch 2 remains closed, and the light source 2 is powered on. The ultraviolet light from the light source 2 is reflected by the reflective surface 205 and irradiated downward to maintain the disinfection of the silver needles.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technical personnel in this field can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any brief modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
