[0004] During use of the automatic suture needle flattening device, the feed trough conveys the suture needles to the wheel, and the upper mold presses down to flatten the suture needles. The flattened suture needles fall out through the drop trough. Currently, a collection box is usually placed at the drop opening to allow the flattened suture needles to fall into the collection box for collection. Since the suture needles fall from a high place to a low place, the suture needles will be placed in a mess when they fall into the collection box, affecting the efficiency of subsequent packaging of the suture needles. Therefore, an automatic flattening mechanism is proposed to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content

[0021] See also Figure 1-4 In this embodiment, an automatic flattening mechanism comprises a base 1, a flattening mechanism is mounted on the top of the base 1, and a clockwise mechanism is mounted on the right side of the top of the base 1.

[0022] The clockwise mechanism includes an L-shaped plate 10 and an electric slide rail 17. The L-shaped plate 10 is slidably connected to the top of the base 1 through the electric slide rail 17. An electric push rod 16 is fixedly installed inside the L-shaped plate 10. A slide rod 15 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 16. A slide groove 9 is opened inside the L-shaped plate 10. One end of the slide rod 15 away from the electric push rod 16 passes through the slide groove 9 and is fixedly connected to a U-shaped frame 8. A material guide cover 5 is fixedly installed inside the U-shaped frame 8. A collection box 6 is placed on the top of the base 1, and the bottom of the material guide cover 5 is located inside the collection box 6.

[0023] It should be noted that, by setting up a clockwise mechanism, the flattened suture needle can slide into the material guide cover 5 through the lower hopper 3, and the suture needle can fall into the inner bottom wall of the collection box 6 through the material guide cover 5, and the material guide cover 5 has a limiting effect on the suture needle to prevent the suture needle from tilting. Then, the L-shaped plate 10 is driven to move to the right by the electric slide rail 17, so that the material guide cover 5 can push the suture needle to move to the rightmost side of the collection box 6, and then the electric push rod 16 drives the material guide cover 5 to move up and moves the material guide cover 5 to its original position through the electric slide rail 17. Repeating this sequence can make the suture needles neatly stacked inside the collection box 6.

[0024] In this embodiment, the flattening mechanism includes a feed trough 14, a mounting plate 11 and a lower hopper 3. The mounting plate 11 is fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1.
