Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical apparatus and instruments, and particularly relates to a acupuncture needle facilitating needle retention. BACKGROUND
[0002] During the acupuncture treatment, the needle handle and part of the needle body are exposed on the skin outside the acupoint. In winter or cold weather, the acupuncture part feels cold, but because the acupuncture is on the skin, it cannot be covered with clothes for warmth. If the warmth is not in place, it will cause the acupuncture part to be cold, aggravate the condition, and even cause external diseases. In addition, the acupuncture part wants to be cupped at the same time, or do suspended moxibustion, which will be affected by the needle handle left on the skin.
[0003] In view of this, the current market has appeared a press needle, which is a circular handle, clamped between two layers of adhesive tape, and the needle body is very short and can be buried on the skin at the acupoint. However, the length of the needle is limited, and only the light skin stimulation is limited, and it cannot reach the depth and angle requirements of conventional acupuncture.
[0004] In addition, there is a patent with application number 202010503282.2 and name of a portable acupuncture needle. The patent discloses that the needle handle is a circular sheet structure and is connected with the needle root. However, the needle is only suitable for flat stimulation into the skin and cannot meet the requirements of acupuncture at different angles and depths. In addition, the needle root and the needle handle are fixedly connected and cannot be folded. Therefore, it cannot meet the requirement of covering clothes or cupping or suspended moxibustion on the circular sheet structure, which will be affected by the needle handle. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0030] In order 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 with reference to specific illustrations and embodiments.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] like Figures 1-7 As shown, an acupuncture needle for easy needle retention includes a needle body 1, which extends vertically and has a universal bearing 3 installed at its top. A gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2 is installed at the free end of the universal bearing 3 (the purpose of using a gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2 is to facilitate hand operation and prevent it from entering the skin with the needle body 1). Specifically, the universal bearing 3 includes a fixed seat 31 and a ball 32. The fixed seat 31 is fixed to the top of the needle body 1, and the ball 32 is rolled and embedded in the fixed seat 31. The bottom of the gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2 has an arc hole, and the bottom of the gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2 is embedded in the ball 32 through the arc hole.
[0033] In addition, the gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2 has a cavity 4 inside, and the top of the gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2 is provided with an opening 5, which is connected to the cavity 4. The opening 5 is used to release the gas in the cavity 4 inside the gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2, so that the gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2 becomes a flat gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2. Then, through the connection of the ball 32, the flat gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2 can be folded at any angle relative to the vertical direction, so that one side of the flat gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2 is in surface contact with the skin around the acupuncture site, that is, the flat gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2 is flat against the skin around the acupuncture site.
[0034] It should be noted that a sealing plug can be installed at the opening 5. When an external inflation device (such as an air pump) is used to inflate the cavity 4 inside the flat gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2, the flat gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2 will be in a full state, or the sealing plug will be pulled out to release the gas inside the cavity 4, so that the gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2 becomes a flat gourd-shaped soft needle handle.
[0035] According to the angle of the needle body 1 relative to the acupuncture site, the free end of the universal bearing 3 is connected with the soft needle handle 2, specifically, the bottom of the gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2 is embedded with the spherical body 32 through the circular arc hole, and the soft needle handle 2 is folded at any angle relative to the vertical direction, so that one side of the soft needle handle 2 is in surface contact with the skin around the acupuncture site, that is, the soft needle handle 2 is flatly attached to the skin around the acupuncture site, the width of the flat gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2 is greater than the width of the needle body 1, which is used to prevent the soft needle handle 2 from entering the skin with the needle body 1; the length of the needle body 1 is greater than the length of the flat gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2; and the length of the needle body 1 is 15-40mm, specifically, the needle body 1 is set to 15mm in this embodiment.
[0036] With the above scheme, when the soft needle handle 2 is flatly attached to the skin around the acupuncture site, the surface appears to have no needle handle parallel to the needle body 1, that is, the needle handle stands up, therefore, the skin around the acupuncture site can be covered with clothes for warmth, or cupping, or hanging moxibustion, without being affected by the needle handle; in addition, the acupuncture needle can be used for any acupuncture method, that is, flat acupuncture, oblique acupuncture and straight acupuncture, and the soft needle handle 2 can be flatly attached to the skin around the acupuncture site with the assistance of the universal bearing 3.
[0037] The following describes the acupuncture process of the acupuncture needle for easy needle retention in combination with the embodiments:
[0038] When acupuncture is performed on a predetermined acupoint, the large ball part in the gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2 is pinched by hand to perform acupuncture, after the acupuncture is completed, the needle body 1 is completely or partially inserted into the acupoint of the patient, at this time, the gourd-shaped soft needle handle 2 is made into a collapsed state by applying force, then the soft needle handle 2 is pulled, the spherical body 32 rolls relatively in the fixed seat 31, so that the collapsed soft needle handle 2 falls down, and the side surface (generally the peripheral surface) is in surface contact with the skin around the acupuncture site, that is, the soft needle handle 2 is flatly attached to the skin around the acupuncture site, and the subsequent operation can cover the clothes for warmth, or cupping, or hanging moxibustion.
[0039] As another embodiment, the scheme basically the same as that of embodiment 1, the difference is that the length of the needle body 1 is set to 25mm in this embodiment.
[0040] As another embodiment, the scheme basically the same as that of embodiment 1, the difference is that the length of the needle body 1 is set to 40mm in this embodiment.
[0041] As can be seen from the multiple embodiments, the scheme can be applied to needle bodies 1 of different depths to meet the use requirements of acupuncture needles of different depths.
[0042] The basic principle and main features of the present application and the advantages of the present application are shown and described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited by the above embodiments, and various changes and improvements can be made to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. These changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present application. The scope of protection of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
