Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, an acupuncture needle safety storage box includes a storage box 1. Several fixed components 2 arranged in a linear array are fixedly connected to the front side wall of the inner surface of the storage box 1. A syringe assembly 3 is movably connected to the middle of each of the fixed components 2. Two sterilization boxes 4 are fixedly connected to the front side of the bottom wall of the inner surface of the storage box 1.

[0028] Storage box 1 is existing technology. It usually uses a lock to ensure the sealing and security of the storage box, which can prevent items from slipping out of the box. It also has handles or straps on the top or sides of the storage box for easy carrying.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the syringe assembly 3 includes a protective cylinder 31 disposed between two clamping plates 23. A sealing part 32 is slidably connected to the upper side of the inner surface of the protective cylinder 31, and a pushing part 33 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the inner surface of the protective cylinder 31. A storage part 34 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the pushing part 33.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the protective cylinder 31 includes a cylinder body 311 disposed between two clamping plates 23. An annular groove 312 is provided on the upper side of the inner surface of the cylinder body 311. Vertical grooves 313 are provided on both sides of the inner surface of the cylinder body 311. The two vertical grooves 313 are both located on the upper side of the annular groove 312 and communicate with the annular groove 312. A sliding groove 314 is provided on the lower side of the rear end of the cylinder body 311.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the sealing part 32 includes a cylinder cover 321 located on the upper side of the cylinder body 311. The lower part of both sides of the outer surface of the cylinder cover 321 is fixedly connected with a slot 322. A spring 323 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cylinder cover 321. A circular plate 324 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the spring 323. The shapes of the two slots 322 and the two vertical grooves 313 are adapted to each other.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the pushing part 33 includes a rotating shaft 331 rotatably connected to the lower side of the inner surface of the cylinder 311. A rotating ring 332 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer surface of the rotating shaft 331. A pressing plate 333 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotating ring 332. A half gear 334 is fixedly connected to the front side of the rotating ring 332. A rack 335 is slidably connected to the lower side of the front sidewall of the inner surface of the cylinder 311. The rack 335 and the half gear 334 mesh with each other. A connecting piece 336 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rack 335. A spring 337 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the connecting piece 336.

[0033] Specifically, the rear end of the pressing plate 333 passes through the sliding groove 314 and extends to the outside of the sliding groove 314.

[0034] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to store acupuncture needles 343, rotate the cylinder cover 321 to align the two slots 322 with the vertical slot 313, slide the cylinder cover 321 upward to remove the cylinder cover 321 from the cylinder body 311, and then move the pressing plate 333. The pressing plate 333 drives the slots 322 and the rotating shaft 331 to rotate, which drives the half gear 334 to rotate, thereby pushing the rack 335 to move upward. The rack 335 pushes the connecting piece 336 and the spring 337 to move upward, thereby pushing the cylinder body 341 to move upward.

[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, the storage section 34 includes a cylindrical body 341 fixedly connected to the upper end of the connector 336. The cylindrical body 341 has several placement slots 342 arranged in a ring array in the middle, and each of the placement slots 342 is provided with an acupuncture needle 343.

[0036] In this embodiment, after pushing the second cylinder 341 to the upper side of the first cylinder 311, several acupuncture needles 343 are placed into the placement groove 342 in sequence. Then, the pressing plate 333 is released, and the second cylinder 341 moves downward, causing the acupuncture needles 343 to enter the first cylinder 311. After aligning the two slots 322 with the vertical groove 313, the cylinder cover 321 is slid downward, so that the two slots 322 slide to the annular groove 312. After rotating the cylinder cover 321 at a certain angle, and after the two slots 322 are misaligned with the vertical groove 313, the sealing part 32 and the protective cylinder 31 are fixed. At the same time, the second spring 323 pushes the circular plate 324 downward, and the circular plate 324 presses down on the acupuncture needles 343 to prevent the acupuncture needles 343 from shaking or shifting during the movement of the device.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] This embodiment adds a fixing component 2 to the first embodiment, which is used to clamp and fix several syringe components 3 to prevent the syringe components 3 from shaking or shifting during transportation or carrying, thereby avoiding damage to the acupuncture needles 343 due to collision or safety hazards.

[0039] The fixing component 2 includes a fixing ring 21 fixedly connected to the front side wall of the inner surface of the storage box 1. Springs 22 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner surface of the fixing ring 21. Clamping plates 23 are fixedly connected to the ends of the two springs 22 that are close to each other. A placement opening 24 is provided on the rear side of the fixing ring 21.

[0040] In this embodiment, the syringe assembly 3 can be inserted into the middle of the fixing ring 21 from the placement port 24. The spring 22 pushes the clamp 23 to move towards the syringe assembly 3, thereby fixing the syringe assembly 3. The disinfection box 4 can hold disinfectant cotton pads, iodine, etc., for disinfecting the skin and needles to prevent infection.

[0041] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, when it is necessary to store acupuncture needles 343, rotate the cylinder cover 321 to align the two slots 322 with the vertical slot 313. Then, slide the cylinder cover 321 upward to remove it from the cylinder body 311. Next, move the pressing plate 333. The pressing plate 333 drives the slots 322 and the rotating shaft 331 to rotate, which in turn drives the half gear 334 to rotate. This pushes the rack 335 upward, which in turn pushes the connecting piece 336 and the spring 337 upward, thereby pushing the cylinder body 341 upward. After the cylinder body 341 is pushed to the upper side of the cylinder body 311, several acupuncture needles 343 are placed into the placement slot 342 in sequence. Then, release the pressing plate 333, and the cylinder body 341 moves downward, causing the acupuncture needles 343 to enter the cylinder body 311. After aligning the two slots 322 with the vertical slot 313, slide the cover 321 downwards so that the two slots 322 slide into the annular slot 312. Then rotate the cover 321 at a certain angle so that the two slots 322 are misaligned with the vertical slot 313. This will fix the sealing part 32 and the protective cylinder 31. At the same time, the second spring 323 pushes the circular plate 324 downwards, and the circular plate 324 presses down on the acupuncture needle 343 to prevent the acupuncture needle 343 from shaking or shifting during the movement of the device. Then, the syringe assembly 3 can be placed into the middle of the fixing ring 21 from the placement port 24. The first spring 22 pushes the clamp 23 to move towards the syringe assembly 3, thereby fixing the syringe assembly 3. Disinfectant cotton pads, iodine, etc. can be placed in the disinfection box 4 for disinfecting the skin and needles to prevent infection.
