DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] Below, the present application is further described in conjunction with specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0025] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that directional words, such as the terms "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating directions and positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of narrating the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and cannot be understood as limiting the specific scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0027] One of the preferred embodiments of the present application is as follows: Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a sharp instrument box for acupuncture and moxibustion includes a box body 1, a roller body 5 and a driving mechanism 4. A notch is provided at the top of the box body 1. The roller body 5 is rotatably installed in the box body 1, and the roller body 5 extends out of the notch and fits with the notch. It can be understood that the outside of the roller body 5 and the notch are in a state of being against or close to each other, and the roller body 5 can play a sealing role on the notch, and a receiving groove 6 for placing needles is provided at the upper end of the outside of the roller body 5. The driving mechanism 4 is installed on the box body 1 and connected to the roller body 5.

[0028] During specific use, when we need to discard and store discarded acupuncture needles, we first place the needles in the receiving groove 6 on the roller body 5. Of course, the receiving groove 6 can accommodate a lot of discarded needles at the same time, and the needles in the receiving groove 6 are also in a "lying" horizontal posture. Then, the roller body 5 can be rotated to a set angle through the driving mechanism 4, so that the receiving groove 6 originally located at the top will rotate downward until the needles in the receiving groove 6 fall into the box body 1 for collection under the action of gravity.

[0029] It can be seen that the needles stored in the box body 1 are placed horizontally, which can improve the utilization rate of the space in the box body 1. Moreover, through the setting of the roller body 5, on the one hand, the interior of the box body 1 can be isolated from the outside world. On the other hand, the discarded needles can be stored in the box body 1 only by rotating the roller body 5. In this way, internal needle punctures will not occur. It is simple and convenient, which greatly improves the safety and convenience of collecting acupuncture needles.

[0030] One of the embodiments of the present application is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the roller body 5 is rotatably installed in the box body 1 through the rotating shaft 7, and the driving mechanism 4 includes a driving rod 401 and a transmission assembly 402. The driving rod 401 is vertically slidably installed in the box body 1, the input end of the transmission assembly 402 is connected to the driving rod 401, and the output end of the transmission assembly 402 is connected to the rotating shaft 7.

[0031] It is understandable that when in use, we press the drive rod 401 to move it downward, and the drive rod 401 can drive the rotating shaft 7 to rotate through the transmission assembly 402, and the rotating shaft 7 will drive the roller body 5 to rotate and collect the discarded needles in the receiving groove 6 into the box body 1.

[0032] As a further description of the above embodiment: the transmission assembly 402 has various structural forms, including but not limited to the following two:

[0033] Structure 1 (such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown): the transmission assembly 402 includes a gear 4022 and a rack 4021, the gear 4022 is installed on the rotating shaft 7, the rack 4021 is vertically slidably installed on the box body 1 through spring elasticity and is connected to the driving rod 401, and the gear 4022 is meshed with the rack 4021.

[0034] It can be understood that when the driving rod 401 is pressed downward, the rack 4021 that moves downward will act on the gear 4022 to rotate it, thereby driving the roller body 5 to rotate; and after releasing the hand, under the elastic force of the spring, the driving rod 401 will move upward, thereby driving the roller body 5 to reverse and reset through the meshing action of the gear 4022 and the rack 4021.

[0035] Structure 2 (such as Figure 7 As shown): the transmission assembly 402 includes a rotating wheel 4025, a connecting rod 4024 and a mounting rod 4023. The mounting rod 4023 is vertically slidably mounted on the box body 1 through a spring elasticity and is connected to the driving rod 401. The rotating wheel 4025 is mounted on the rotating shaft 7. The two ends of the connecting rod 4024 are respectively hinged to the rotating wheel 4025 and the driving rod 401.

[0036] It can be understood that when the driving rod 401 is pressed downward, the installation rod 4023 will act on the connecting rod 4024 to move, and the connecting rod 4024 will act on the rotating wheel 4025 to rotate, thereby driving the roller body 5 to rotate; and after releasing the hand, under the action of the elastic force of the spring, the driving rod 401 will move upward, and then through the action of the connecting rod 4024, it will drive the roller body 5 to reverse and reset.

[0037] It should be noted that both methods can meet actual needs, and technicians in this field can choose according to actual conditions.

[0038] Based on the above implementation, the resetting of the roller body 5 and the driving rod 401 are driven by the elastic force of the spring. We know that the transmission between the transmission components 402 and the rotation of the roller body 5 will have a certain resistance, so the elastic force of the spring needs to be large enough, but in this way, the spring will cause a large resistance to the pressing of the driving rod 401 in the initial stage, thereby making the pressing of the driving rod 401 more laborious.

[0039] In order to solve the above technical problems, in one of the embodiments of the present application, the output end of the transmission assembly 402 is connected to the rotating shaft 7 for one-way transmission, the rotating shaft 7 and the box body 1 are matched through a clutch structure 8, and there are multiple accommodating grooves 6 on the roller body 5.

[0040] It can be understood that the one-way transmission connection means that when the driving rod 401 moves downward, the rotating shaft 7 can rotate under the action of the transmission component 402, and the clutch structure 8 is in a disengaged state; and when the driving rod 401 moves upward to reset, the rotating shaft 7 will remain stationary, and the clutch structure 8 is in a limited state.

[0041] It should be known that at this time, the spring only needs to push the driving rod 401 upward, without having to overcome the resistance of the roller body 5 as before, which can make pressing more labor-saving. Of course, why the clutch structure 8 is needed here is that previously, under the action of the spring, the driving rod 401 was reset and the roller body 5 was reset, but now the driving rod 401 is reset but the roller body 5 cannot be reset, so the position state after rotation needs to be maintained to prepare for the next collection of discarded needles.

[0042] Of course, if there is only one receiving groove 6, the roller body 5 needs to rotate 360 ​​degrees to return to the initial position, which will increase the stroke of the transmission component 402, that is, the distance that the driving rod 401 presses downward needs to be increased, which will also have a certain impact on the operation. Therefore, there can be multiple receiving grooves 6 here, and the multiple receiving grooves 6 are distributed at equal distances. For example, Figure 8 As shown, we provide two receiving slots 6 and are symmetrically distributed up and down. When the upper receiving slot 6 rotates 180 degrees to the bottom, the original lower receiving slot 6 will rotate 180 degrees to the top, thereby preparing for the next collection of discarded needles.

[0043] Specifically, there are many ways of one-way transmission, and the following is only one specific way for reference: Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the gear 4022 and the rotating wheel 4025 can be installed on the rotating shaft 7 through the one-way bearing 9. When the driving rod 401 moves downward, the one-way bearing 9 is in a bite state, and the rotating shaft 7 can be rotated through the cooperation of (the gear 4022 and the rack 4021) or (the connecting rod 4024 and the mounting rod 4023 and the rotating wheel 4025); and when the driving rod 401 is reset under the action of the spring, the one-way bearing 9 is in a free state, that is, the rotation of the gear 4022 or the rotating wheel 4025 will not rotate the rotating shaft 7, and the gear 4022 or the rotating wheel 4025 is in an idling state.

[0044] In this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the clutch structure 8 includes a clutch block 801 and a plurality of clutch slots 802 . The clutch block 801 is elastically slidably installed in the box body 1 through a spring, and the clutch slots 802 are arranged on the rotating shaft 7 .

[0045] Specifically, the number of clutch slots 802 corresponds to the number of the above-mentioned receiving slots 6. Since the above-mentioned receiving slots 6 are set to two as an example, the clutch slots 802 are also set to two for explanation: when the clutch block 801 cooperates with the clutch slot 802 under the action of elastic force, the clutch structure 8 is in a limited state; similarly, when the roller body 5 rotates, the clutch slot 802 and the clutch block 801 will be forced to separate, and the clutch structure 8 is in a separated state. When the roller body 5 rotates 180 degrees, the two receiving slots 6 will exchange positions, and at this time, the clutch block 801 will cooperate with the other clutch slot 802 under the action of elastic force, thereby limiting the rotated roller body 5 again. It should be known that the more the number of receiving slots 6, the smaller the rotation angle, and the smaller the pressing distance of the driving rod 401, and it is set according to the actual situation.

[0046] In this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a collection box 3 is movably provided at the lower end of the box body 1, and the collection box 3 can collect the needles in the box body 1, that is, the needles that fall into the box body 1 will fall into the collection box 3 for collection, and the collection box 3 can be disposable, that is, it can be replaced with a new one after use, and at this time, it is only necessary to disinfect the roller body 5 and the cavity of the box body 1 before the next use. Of course, the collection box 3 can also be reused, and the best recycled acupuncture needles can also be recycled, and then the collection box 3 and the needles can be disinfected together and reused.

[0047] Furthermore, a cover body 2 is rotatably mounted on the top of the box body 1; when not in use, the cover body 2 can cover and seal the roller body 5 and the notch for protection.

[0048] It should be noted that, since the roller body 5 can seal the slot, the "not in use" here does not mean that the needles are not used after being collected once, but that they are not used after being used for a period of time. For example, if a doctor needs to use the sharps box during working hours, the cover body 2 can be kept open; and when the doctor is off duty, the cover body 2 can be closed to prevent impurities from entering the receiving slot 6 or the roller body 5, further improving the protection effect.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that when people in this field usually design sharps boxes, they will definitely think of using a clamshell or drawer-type sharps box to place acupuncture needles flat inside it, but the reciprocating clamshell and pull-out action will also increase the workload of medical staff, and each time the sharps box is opened, the needles in the box will be exposed, which is prone to infection and puncture risks. In this application, the discarded needles are placed in the receiving slot 6, and then only the driving rod 401 is pressed, which is simple and convenient, and the needles in the box are always isolated from the outside of the box during the collection process, which also greatly improves safety.
