[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The illustrated guide needle structure includes a needle tip 1 and a needle seat 2. The needle tip 1 is mounted on the top of the needle seat 2, and a return spring 3 is directly mounted on the bottom of the needle tip 1 and the top of the needle seat 2.
[0033] Specifically, the top of the needle seat end 2 is recessed inward with a groove 21, the needle tip end 1 moves in the groove 21, a limiting ring 22 is provided at the top opening of the groove 21, and multiple positioning and moving grooves 23 are provided on the inner wall. The needle seat end 2 is also provided with a top block assembly 24, and the reset spring 3 is placed in the groove 21.
[0034] Specifically, a positioning ring 11 is provided at the bottom of the needle tip 1. The positioning ring 11 is restricted by the limiting ring 22. Positioning blocks 12 are also provided on both sides of the bottom of the positioning ring 11. The positioning blocks 12 move in the positioning moving groove 23. A locking block assembly 13 is also provided on the outer wall of the needle tip 1. The locking block assembly 13 positions the bottom of the needle tip 1 into the groove 21.
[0035] Specifically, the top block component 24 acts on the card block component 13.
[0036] In this embodiment, the reset spring 3 is placed in the groove 21 at the top of the needle seat end 2. The positioning ring 11 at the bottom of the needle tip end 1 is aligned with the limiting ring 22 at the top opening of the groove 21, so that the positioning ring 11 is restricted by the limiting ring 22. At the same time, the L-shaped positioning blocks 12 on both sides of the bottom of the positioning ring 11 are respectively placed in the positioning moving groove 23 on the inner wall of the groove 21, ensuring that the needle tip end 1 can move stably along the positioning moving groove 23 in the groove 21. The locking blocks 132 are installed in the two symmetrical locking grooves 131 on the outer wall of the needle tip end 1. Multiple compression springs 135 are installed between the bottom of the locking blocks 132 and the bottom of the locking grooves 131. The groove opening of the locking grooves 131 is provided with a limiting strip 133. The end of the locking blocks 132 is provided with a stop strip 134 corresponding to the limiting strip 133 to prevent the locking blocks 132 from falling out of the locking grooves 131.
[0037] Specifically, a through groove 241 is opened on the outer wall of the needle seat end 2, penetrating the outer wall. A top block 242 is installed in the through groove 241. A limiting strip 243 is provided at the end of the top block 242. A groove plate 244 is provided at the groove opening of the through groove 241 to limit the limiting strip 243 and prevent the top block 242 from coming out of the through groove 241. A leak-proof plate 245 is installed on both sides of the other end of the top block 242, and the extension length of the leak-proof plate 245 is at least sufficient for both sides of the through groove 241.
[0038] Reference Figure 3 The locking block assembly 13 includes two locking slots 131 disposed on the outer wall of the needle end 1. The two locking slots 131 are symmetrically arranged, and a locking block 132 is installed in the locking slot 131. A limiting strip 133 is provided at the opening of the locking slot 131, and a stop strip 134 is provided at the end of the locking block 132 corresponding to the limiting strip 133. Multiple compression springs 135 are installed between the bottom of the locking block 132 and the bottom of the locking slot 131.
[0039] Specifically, the top and bottom surfaces of the card block 132 are both sloping surfaces, forming a triangle overall, with the slope of the upper sloping surface being greater than that of the lower sloping surface.
[0040] Reference Figure 5 The top block assembly 24 includes a through groove 241 disposed on the outer wall of the needle seat end 2. The through groove 241 penetrates the outer wall of the needle seat end 2 and a top block 242 is installed inside it. A limiting strip 243 is provided at the end of the top block 242. A groove plate 244 is provided at the groove opening of the through groove 241 to limit the limiting strip 243. A leak-proof plate 245 extends to both sides from the other end of the top block 242.
[0041] Specifically, the extension length of the leak-proof plate 245 must at least meet the requirement that, apart from both sides of the through groove 241, the top block 241 is triangular in shape, and the slope of its upper slope is less than that of its lower slope.
[0042] Reference Figure 1-2 The cross-sectional area of the needle tip 1 gradually decreases, and the top is hemispherical.
[0043] Reference Figure 4 The positioning block 12 is L-shaped, with one end placed in the positioning and moving groove 23 and the other end fixed to the bottom of the needle end 1.
[0044] In this embodiment, the insertion operation of the guide needle is as follows: the needle tip 1 is aligned with the groove 21 of the needle seat end 2 and inserted. During the insertion process, the needle tip 1 compresses the return spring 3, and the positioning block 12 slides within the positioning moving groove 23 to ensure the stability and accuracy of the insertion of the needle tip 1. When the needle tip 1 is inserted to the appropriate position, the locking block 132 pops out under the action of the compression spring 135 and locks in the corresponding position within the groove 21, thereby achieving the positioning of the needle tip 1. At this time, the guide needle insertion is completed and the device is in normal working condition.
[0045] In this embodiment, the guide needle removal operation is as follows: Pushing the top block 242 in the top block assembly 24 causes the top block 242 to move within the through groove 241. Since the top block 242 is triangular in shape and the slope of its upper slope is less than that of its lower slope, and the locking block 132 has slopes on both its upper and lower surfaces with a greater slope at the upper end than at the lower end, the movement of the top block 242 acts on the locking block 132, causing it to retract into the locking groove 131 against the elastic force of the compression spring 135. After the locking block 132 retracts, it loses its positioning function for the needle tip 1. At this time, under the elastic force of the return spring 3, the needle tip 1 pops out from the groove 21, completing the guide needle removal operation.
[0046] In this embodiment, the quick insertion and removal function of the guide needle is achieved by setting the return spring 3. When inserted, the return spring 3 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy; when removed, the return spring 3 releases elastic potential energy, pushing the needle tip 1 to quickly disengage from the needle seat end 2, which greatly improves the efficiency of the guide needle and is suitable for scenarios that require frequent insertion and removal of the guide needle.
[0047] Specifically, the cooperation between the positioning ring 11 and the limiting ring 22, as well as the movement of the positioning block 12 within the positioning moving groove 23, ensures good guidance and stability for the movement of the needle tip 1 within the groove 21. During insertion and removal, the needle tip 1 can only move along the path of the positioning moving groove 23, effectively preventing wobbling and deviation of the needle tip 1, and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the guide needle structure during use.
[0048] In this embodiment, the locking block assembly 13 stably positions the bottom of the needle tip 1 within the groove 21, preventing the guide needle from accidentally loosening or coming out due to external forces or other factors during normal use, thus ensuring the stability of the guide needle in the working state.
[0049] Specifically, the cooperative design of the top block assembly 24 and the locking block assembly 13 makes the removal of the guide pin simple and convenient. Simply pushing the top block 242 easily retracts the locking block 132, allowing the guide pin to be removed smoothly, reducing the labor intensity of the operator and improving the convenience of operation.

Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
