Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] Example

[0026] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides an acupuncture needle storage box with independent packaging, including a layered storage part 10 and an independent storage part 20.

[0027] The layered storage section 10 includes a clean needle storage box 110, a soiled needle storage box 120, and a top cover 130. The clean needle storage box 110, soiled needle storage box 120, and top cover 130 are arranged from bottom to top and rotatably connected at one end via a pin 140. Multiple independent storage sections 20 are stacked inside the clean needle storage box 110. Each independent storage section 20 includes a placement plate 210 with multiple individual placement slots 220 for holding acupuncture needles. The independent storage section 20 also includes a protective film 230, which is placed in the placement slots 220 inside the placement plate 210.

[0028] After sterilization, place the clean needles into the slots 220 on the placement plate 210 inside the clean needle storage box 110, with one acupuncture needle placed in each slot 220. Finally, attach a clean protective film 230 to the inside of the slot 220 and cover the acupuncture needles. When the acupuncture needles are needed, open the dirty needle storage box 120 and the top cover 130 on top of the clean needle storage box 110. Use tweezers to remove the protective film 230 and the acupuncture needles placed in the slots 220 on the placement plate 210. Place the used acupuncture needles into the dirty needle storage box 120. Take out one needle at a time and place it in the dirty needle storage box 120 after use to ensure that the acupuncture needles used in acupuncture are cleaner.

[0029] In the specific implementation described above, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 A locking fastener 170 is provided between the clean needle storage box 110 and the soiled needle storage box 120. The locking fastener 170 includes a locking block 171, a positioning post 172, and a spring 173. One end of the clean needle storage box 110 is provided with a relief groove 111, and the locking block 171 is movably disposed inside the relief groove 111. One end of the soiled needle storage box 120 is provided with a locking groove 121 that engages with the locking block 171. The bottom of the relief groove 111 is provided with a mounting groove 112. The positioning post 172 is fixed to the bottom of the locking block 171, and the bottom end of the positioning post 172 is movably inserted into the mounting groove 112. The spring 173 is disposed inside the mounting groove 112. Under the elastic support of spring 173, the latch 171 in the locking member 170 can be engaged in the slot 121 at the bottom of the dirty needle storage box 120. When carrying the box, it prevents the dirty needle storage box 120 from falling off. Pushing the latch 171 down compresses the spring 173, which can rotate the dirty needle storage box 120 above the clean needle storage box 110.

[0030] Furthermore, the side wall of the clearance groove 111 is provided with a guide groove 113, and the side of the locking block 171 is provided with a slider 174 that slides inside the guide groove 113. The slider 174 and the guide groove 113 are designed to improve the stability of the locking block 171 when it moves in the vertical direction. Both sides of the top of the locking block 171 are provided with beveled chamfers. The beveled chamfers facilitate the movement of the needle storage box 120, which presses against the locking block 171 until the locking block 171 is engaged in the slot 121 under the elasticity of the spring 173.

[0031] Specifically, the bottom of the needle storage box 110 is provided with a slot, and a counterweight 150 is installed inside the slot. The counterweight 150 is designed to improve the stability of the box when it is placed.

[0032] For specific settings, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4A magnet 180 is provided on the dirty needle storage box 120, and a metal block 190 is provided at the bottom of the upper cover 130, which is magnetically matched with the magnet 180. The magnetic attraction between the magnet 180 and the metal block 190 is used to stably cover the upper cover 130 on the dirty needle storage box 120.

[0033] The working principle of this individually packaged acupuncture needle storage box is as follows: When in use, sterilized clean needles are placed in the placement slots 220 on the placement plate 210 inside the clean needle storage box 110, with one acupuncture needle placed in each slot 220. Finally, a clean protective film 230 is attached to the inside of the placement slot 220 and then placed over the acupuncture needles. When acupuncture needles are needed, the soiled needle storage box 120 and the top cover 130 above the clean needle storage box 110 are opened. The protective film 230 and the acupuncture needle placed in the placement slot 220 on the placement plate 210 can be removed with tweezers. Used acupuncture needles are placed into the soiled needle storage box 120. Each needle is removed individually and placed in the soiled needle storage box 120 after use, ensuring the cleanliness of the acupuncture needles used in acupuncture.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
