Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of acupuncture device technology, specifically relating to an acupuncture treatment device. Background Technology
[0002] Acupuncture needles are instruments that are inserted into the patient's body at specific acupoints and used to treat diseases through techniques such as twisting and lifting. They resemble a silver needle and modern acupuncture needles generally consist of a needle body, a needle tip, and a needle handle.
[0003] Because acupuncture needles are easily bent, they need to be stored when not in use. A search revealed that patent CN221731599U discloses an acupuncture needle storage device. This device includes a rectangular box with openings on both sides. Inside the box, right-angled triangular mounting platforms are symmetrically and slidably sealed. Each platform has a needle fixing component on its upper side. A vertical plate is fixedly installed on the bottom left side of the right-hand right-angled triangular mounting platform. The bottom of the vertical plate extends into the lower side of a sliding groove, and a second rack is fixedly installed on its end face. The first and second racks are staggered. Gears are rotatably mounted on the center of the inner walls of both sides of the sliding groove. The first and second racks mesh with the upper and lower sides of the gear, respectively. A locking component is provided between the right-hand right-angled triangular mounting platform and the rectangular box. This invention has a simple and reasonable structure, providing protection for acupuncture needles during use, preventing deformation from impacts, and isolating them from external contamination, thus improving safety. However, the device is relatively large and not easily portable. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present invention discloses an acupuncture treatment device, the purpose of which is to solve the problem that existing acupuncture needle storage devices are not easy to carry around.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] An acupuncture treatment device includes a cylindrical body. An annular block with a coaxial axis is rotatably connected to the upper end of the cylindrical body. A placement plate is threaded onto the inner wall of the annular block, and the placement plate has several evenly distributed snap-fit holes. Several vertically arranged guide posts are evenly distributed along the periphery of the inner wall of the cylindrical body. Each guide post is slidably connected to a connecting post on its end, and the connecting posts are fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement plate. An annular groove with a coaxial axis is formed on the inner wall of each snap-fit hole, and a snap-fit airbag is disposed within each annular groove. A conduit is built into the placement plate, and the conduit connects to all the snap-fit airbags. An inflatable airbag is fitted onto each connecting post, and the ends of the inflatable airbags are fixedly connected to the placement plate and the corresponding guide post, respectively. Each inflatable airbag is connected to the conduit. A sterilization box is disposed at the bottom of the cylindrical body, and an alcohol-containing cotton ball is disposed within the sterilization box.
[0007] In this design, rotating the annular block moves the placement plate upward, causing the expansion bladder to expand. Gas from the locking bladder flows into the expansion bladder through the tubing, causing the locking bladder to contract. At this point, the acupuncture needle is inserted into the locking hole. Then, rotating the annular block in the opposite direction moves the placement plate downward. The annular plate and guide post compress the expansion bladder, allowing gas to flow into the locking bladder through the tubing. After the locking bladder expands, it clamps and fixes the acupuncture needle body, preventing the acupuncture needle from shaking and causing the needle tip to collide and bend, thus affecting the use of the acupuncture needle.
[0008] Furthermore, a rotating protrusion is provided at one end of the top of the placement plate, a cover plate is provided on the rotating protrusion, and a torsion spring is provided at the hinge; a limiting plate is provided at one end of the top of the placement plate, a limiting hole is provided on the limiting plate, a sliding groove is provided on the side wall of the cover plate facing the limiting hole, a limiting rod is slidably connected in the sliding groove, and a lever extending out of the sliding groove is provided on the side wall of the limiting rod.
[0009] In this solution, a cover plate is installed to shield and protect the acupuncture needles, preventing damage to the needle handles.
[0010] Furthermore, a cylindrical mounting plate is fixed to the bottom of the disinfection box, and the mounting plate is threadedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder.
[0011] Furthermore, a rubber pad layer is provided on the cover plate.
[0012] Furthermore, an elastic support is provided between the limiting rod and the sliding groove.
[0013] Furthermore, a rubber ring is provided around the periphery of the disinfection box to abut against the side wall of the guide block.
[0014] Furthermore, a hanging rope is provided on the side wall of the annular block.
[0015] Other advantages, objectives, and features of this invention will be set forth in the following description and will be apparent to those skilled in the art to some extent, or may be learned by practice of this invention. The objectives and other advantages of this invention can be realized and obtained through the following description. Attached Figure Description

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown:
[0022] An acupuncture treatment device includes a cylindrical body 1. An annular block 2, coaxially connected and rotatably mounted on the upper end of the cylindrical body 1, is threaded onto the inner wall of the annular block 2. A placement plate 3 is threaded onto the inner wall of the annular block 2. The placement plate 3 has several evenly distributed snap-fit holes 4, the diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the acupuncture needle handle but larger than the diameter of the acupuncture needle body. Several vertically arranged guide posts 5 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the inner wall of the cylindrical body 1. Several connecting posts 6, integrally formed with the guide posts 5, are integrally formed at the bottom of the placement plate 3. The connecting posts 6 are slidably connected coaxially to the top ends of the guide posts 5. The inner wall of the snap-fit hole 4 is provided with a coaxial annular groove, and a snap-fit airbag 7 is glued into each annular groove. The placement plate 3 has a built-in pipe 8, which is used to connect all the snap-fit airbags 7. Each connecting post 6 is fitted with an inflatable airbag 9, and the ends of the inflatable airbags 9 are respectively glued and fixed to the placement plate 3 and the corresponding guide post 5. The inflatable airbags 9 are all connected to the pipe 8. The bottom of the cylinder 1 is provided with a disinfection box 10 whose top end is attached to the bottom of the placement plate 3. The disinfection box 10 contains cotton balls containing alcohol (a conventional technical means, so it is not shown in the figure).
[0023] In this design, the guide post 5 and the connecting post 6 work together to allow the placement plate 3 to move upward simply by rotating the annular block 2 in the forward direction. At this time, the inflatable airbag 9 expands, and the gas in the locking airbag 7 flows into the inflatable airbag 9 through the pipe 8, causing the locking airbag 7 to contract. The acupuncture needle is then inserted into the locking hole 4. Rotating the annular block 2 in the reverse direction causes the placement plate 3 to move downward, allowing the needle tip to be inserted into the cotton ball for disinfection. During this process, the annular plate and guide post 5 compress the inflatable airbag 9, allowing gas to flow into the locking airbag 7 through the pipe 8. After the locking airbag 7 expands, it clamps and fixes the acupuncture needle body, preventing the acupuncture needle from shaking and causing the needle tip to collide and bend, thus affecting its use.
[0024] When acupuncture needles are needed, simply rotate the ring block 2. The ring block 2 moves the placement plate 3 upward. The placement plate 3 and the guide column 5 stretch the expansion airbag 9 to expand it. The gas in the locking airbag 7 flows into the expansion airbag 9 through the pipe 8, causing the locking airbag 7 to contract, so that the acupuncture needles can be removed.
[0025] In this embodiment, a rotating protrusion 11 is provided at one top end of the placement plate 3, and a cover plate 19 is provided on the rotating protrusion 11, and a torsion spring is provided at the hinge. A limiting plate 12 is provided at one top end of the placement plate 3, and a limiting hole (not shown in the figure) is provided on the limiting plate 12. A sliding groove is provided on the side wall of the cover plate 19, which is directly opposite to the limiting hole. A limiting rod 13 is slidably connected in the sliding groove, and a lever 14 extending out of the sliding groove is provided on the side wall of the limiting rod 13.
[0026] In this solution, the cover plate 19 is made to fit against the placement plate 3 by sliding the limiting rod 13 in the reverse direction of the lever 14 and deflecting the cover plate 19. Then, the limiting rod 13 is inserted into the limiting hole by sliding the lever 14 in the forward direction to lock the cover plate 19. This is to shield and protect the acupuncture needle and prevent damage to the needle handle. When the acupuncture needle needs to be used, it is only necessary to slide the limiting rod 13 in the reverse direction of the lever 14 to disengage it from the limiting hole.
[0027] In this embodiment, a cylindrical mounting plate 15 is fixed to the bottom of the disinfection box 10, and the mounting plate 15 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the cylindrical body 1.
[0028] The sterilization box 10 can be removed by simply rotating the mounting plate 15, which is threaded to the bottom of the cylinder 1, so that the cotton balls can be replaced.
[0029] In this embodiment, a rubber pad layer is provided on the cover plate 19 (a conventional technique, so it is not shown in the figure).
[0030] By setting a rubber pad, direct contact between the cover plate 19 and the needle handle is avoided, thus preventing damage to the needle handle.
[0031] In this embodiment, an elastic support 17 is provided between the limiting rod 13 and the slide groove.
[0032] The elastic force of the elastic support 17 is used to push the limiting rod 13, so that it is stably inserted into the limiting hole to prevent the cover plate 19 from loosening.
[0033] In this embodiment, a rubber ring 18 is provided around the disinfection box 10 to abut against the side wall of the guide block.
[0034] By setting a rubber ring 18 and using a cover plate 19 to seal the disinfection box 10, the evaporation of alcohol inside the cotton ball is slowed down, and alcohol spillage is also prevented.
[0035] Furthermore, a hanging rope 16 is provided on the side wall of the annular block 2.
[0036] The lanyard 16 makes it easy to carry the treatment device while also preventing it from being lost.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
