Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of medical instruments, and in particular relates to an acupuncture needle that is easy to remove. Background Art

[0002] Acupuncture, consisting of "needles" and "moxibustion", is an important component of Eastern medicine. It includes acupuncture theory, acupoints, acupuncture techniques and related instruments. It inserts extremely fine needles into specific points in the body to treat various diseases and symptoms.

[0003] For acupuncture needles, in order to ensure sterility, disposable acupuncture needles are mostly used. At the same time, in order to meet the needs of needle manipulation, the needle handle must be easy to grasp and can be used for actions such as piercing, twisting, and pulling out and inserting. At the same time, the needle body must also have good toughness.

[0004] Chinese patent application number CN209019451U discloses an identification member for acupuncture needles, comprising an elastic fixing block having a groove therein, the opening edge of the groove having a convex edge, the opening size of the convex edge being larger than the opening size of the groove, and a base being provided on the elastic fixing block. The base facilitates operation and can be used to allow the acupuncture needle to stand upright, making it easier to remove and use the needle while also preventing contamination of the needle. The acupuncture needle is secured by providing a groove on the elastic fixing block, and a convex edge is provided on the opening edge of the groove, the opening size of the convex edge being larger than the opening size of the groove. The convex edge forms a guide portion, facilitating the needle's entry into the groove, enabling quick operation, convenient connection and disassembly, and saving time.

[0005] The above technical solution has the following defects:

[0006] In order to prevent the needle body from being contaminated, it is placed in the form of a base. However, unused acupuncture needles are easily contaminated due to long-term exposure to the air. At the same time, the force support point is on the base at the bottom. When taking other acupuncture needles, it is easy to knock over the adjacent base, causing contamination of the acupuncture needles. Utility Model Content

[0007] In response to the above defects, the present invention provides an acupuncture needle that is easy to remove, comprising a needle handle and a needle head, wherein an inner cavity for placing the needle head is provided inside the needle handle, a through hole for the needle head to pass through is provided at the bottom end of the needle handle, a limiting plate for limiting the through hole is fixed to the top end of the needle head, a side opening is also provided at the bottom of the side of the needle handle, an insert block is placed inside the side opening, a limiting groove for inserting the insert block is provided on the inner wall of the inner cavity, a protrusion for limiting the insert block is fixed to the open end of the limiting groove, and the needle head is sealed to the inside of the inner cavity by medical tape.

[0008] Furthermore, a sealing gasket adapted to the through hole is fixed to the sealing surface of the medical tape, and the sealing gasket is made of medical rubber and has a spherical surface.

[0009] Furthermore, the medical tape is simultaneously adhered to the exposed end of the insert to secure it to the needle handle.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting plate and the inner wall of the inner cavity are both hexagonal, and the outer edge of the limiting plate fits with the inner wall of the inner cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, the height between the inner bottom wall of the side opening and the inner bottom wall of the cavity is equal to the thickness of the limiting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the outside of the needle handle is provided with patterns for increasing finger friction.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] Compared with the structure of using an independent sealed box or protecting the needle with a sealing tube / cover, the needle remains in a sealed state when taken out from the package, and will not be contaminated even if it is put aside for standby. At the same time, it is easy to operate. After tearing off the medical tape, the insert block can be pushed in to limit the position of the needle, and subsequent acupuncture treatment can be carried out, making the overall removal process more convenient.

[0021] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the following description of the present invention is more comprehensive, with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the present invention.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "disposed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connection or disposition, detachable connection or disposition, or integral connection or disposition. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] Example

[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides an acupuncture needle that is easy to remove, including a needle handle 1 and a needle head 2. The outer surface of the needle handle 1 is provided with a pattern for increasing the friction of the fingers, which is convenient for twisting, pricking and other operations. The interior of the needle handle 1 is provided with an inner cavity for placing the needle head 2. The bottom end of the needle handle 1 is provided with a through hole 6 for the needle head 2 to pass through. The top end of the needle head 2 is fixed with a limiting plate 5 for limiting the through hole 6. The limiting plate 5 is hexagonal and has an arc surface on the upper surface, which is beneficial when the needle head 2 is not completely placed at the bottom of the inner cavity. The inserting block 4 inserted from the side can push it down to complete the subsequent limiting process. The bottom of the side of the needle handle 1 is also provided with a side opening. The height value between the inner bottom wall of the side opening and the inner bottom wall of the cavity is equal to the thickness value of the limiting plate 5. Its function is that in the subsequent acupuncture process, there will be no upward movement caused by the resistance between the needle head 2 and the skin due to the gap between the two.

[0025] An insert block 4 is placed inside the side opening, and a limiting groove 8 is provided on the inner wall of the inner cavity for the insert block 4 to be inserted. A protrusion 9 for limiting the insert block 4 is fixed to the open end of the limiting groove 8. It should be noted that the protrusion 9 is spherical, and the upper and lower ends of the insert block 4 are provided with grooves adapted to the insert block 4. When the protrusion 9 is inserted, it can play a certain limiting effect. At the same time, the insert block 4 is a medical acrylic plate with a certain deformation ability. It will not break when the groove contacts the protrusion 9. The bottom end of the needle handle 1 seals the needle 2 to the inside of the inner cavity through the medical tape 3. In detail, the sealing surface of the medical tape 3 is fixed with a sealing gasket 7 adapted to the through hole 6. The sealing gasket 7 is made of medical rubber and is spherical, which plays the role of blocking the needle 2 and sealing the inner cavity. The medical tape 3 is also adhered to the exposed end of the insert block 4 to fix it to the needle handle 1.

[0026] It should be noted that the inner wall of the inner cavity is also hexagonal, which fits with the outer circle of the limiting plate 5, so as to ensure that the needle 2 can be in the same straight line as the through hole 6 during the downward movement and will not be stuck inside the inner cavity. At the same time, it ensures that the subsequent twisting of the needle handle 1 can synchronously drive the internally limited needle 2 to rotate.

[0027] The acupuncture needle described in this embodiment is easy to remove. When in use, the doctor takes out the needle handle 1 and tears off the medical tape 3 at the bottom. At this time, the needle 2 will pass through the through hole 6 due to gravity (the needle 2 and the limiting plate 5), and then push the insert block 4 to insert it into the limiting groove 8. It is fixed by the protrusion 9 and the groove. At the same time, the insert block 4 limits the limiting plate at the bottom, thereby achieving the fixation of the needle 2.

[0028] It should be noted that the structure described in the present invention can be implemented in a variety of different forms and is not limited to the described embodiments. Any equivalent transformations made by ordinary technicians in this field using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, such as the loading and unloading of other items, are included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
