[0028] The outer wall of the needle handle 3 is provided with evenly distributed anti-slip grooves, which increase the friction when the hand is holding it during use.

[0029] The upper end of the needle handle 3 is sleeved with a sealing cap 12, and the inner wall of the sealing cap 12 is fixed with a rubber anti-slip ring 13. The sealing cap 12 is also compatible with the lower end of the needle handle 3. When the needle 1 needs to be used, the sealing cap 12 is engaged with the upper end of the needle handle 3. When the needle 1 is not needed, the needle body 4 is moved to the inside of the needle handle 3, and the sealing cap 12 is engaged with the lower end of the needle handle 3 to prevent the needle body 4 from moving to the outside of the needle handle 3.

[0034] Four fixing rings are fixed to the outer wall of the bearing 2. During use, laces are fixed inside the four fixing rings to fix the bearing 2 in order to fix the bearing 2 in the position of the hole area.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] When conducting acupuncture-related experiments on mice, the experimenters first fixed the bearing 2 on the acupuncture site of the mouse and then performed acupuncture. The acupuncture depth was controlled by selecting needles 1 with different scales, and the needle was rotated using the rotatability of the bearing to ensure the accuracy, convenience and safety of the puncture. The size and shape design of the needle 1 and the bearing 2 refer to the specifications of existing similar devices. This design not only ensures the stability of the device, but also facilitates experimental operation.
