Detailed Implementation

[0032] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example

[0033] A type of acupuncture tube sleeve, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the device includes a sleeve 1, a clamping member 2 inside the sleeve 1, and a fixing groove 3 inside the clamping member 2 for fixing the handle of the acupuncture needle. The clamping member 2 and the sleeve 1 are integrally injection molded. The sleeve 1 is made of plastic. The inner diameter of the sleeve 1 on the side closer to the clamping member 2 is larger than the inner diameter on the side farther from the clamping member 2. Identification points 4 are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the sleeve 1. The acupuncture needle is placed inside the sleeve 1. The plastic sleeve 1 has low production cost, is easy to process, and the plastic material is lightweight and has high hardness, making it convenient for handling and subsequent recycling. The straightness of the needle handle... The diameter is larger than the diameter of the needle body, making it easier to fix the needle handle. Fixing it at the needle handle position also avoids contamination of the needle body, ensuring the normal use of the acupuncture needle. Several anti-slip textures are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the needle handle, which improves the roughness of the needle handle and makes it more stable during subsequent needle insertion and twisting. The anti-slip textures of the needle handle also make the acupuncture needle more stable when it is locked and fixed in the fixing groove 3. The identification point 4 provides a positioning effect for the subsequent assembly of the acupuncture needle and the tube sleeve 1. The position of the fixing groove 3 inside the tube sleeve 1 is determined by the external identification point 4, realizing intelligent assembly production.

[0034] like Figures 1-5As shown, the clamping component 2 includes two protrusions 5, which are symmetrically arranged and fixed on the inner wall of the sleeve 1. The fixing groove 3 is located between the two protrusions 5. The identification point 4 is set corresponding to the fixing groove 3. The identification point 4 can be set as a protrusion, a groove, or a color card. The protrusions 5 are integrally formed and fixed inside the sleeve 1 during injection molding. The identification point 4 is set as a protrusion and a groove, both of which are formed during injection molding. The protrusions protrude from the sleeve 1. This method is more convenient during injection molding and the mold making is less labor-intensive, but more materials are required. The groove is also formed by adjusting the mold during injection molding. The mold making is relatively labor-intensive, but less raw materials are used. The color card is painted after the sleeve 1 is produced. This method increases the production steps, but the different colors can better distinguish products of different sizes or regions. All three methods can achieve the identification effect, and the choice can be made according to different needs.

[0035] An assembly device for an acupuncture tube sleeve and an acupuncture needle, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the system includes a tube sleeve conveying line 9, an acupuncture needle conveying line 10, and a tube sleeve and acupuncture needle combination device 11. The tube sleeve conveying line 9 and the acupuncture needle conveying line 10 are arranged in parallel. The tube sleeve conveying line 9, the acupuncture needle conveying line 10, and the tube sleeve and acupuncture needle combination device 11 are all controlled by a control console. The tube sleeve conveying line 9 conveys the injection-molded tube sleeves 1 forward along a predetermined route, while the acupuncture needle conveying line 10 conveys the processed acupuncture needles forward. The control console coordinates the tube sleeve conveying line 9, the acupuncture needle conveying line 10, and the tube sleeve and acupuncture needle combination device 11, making the equipment more mechanized and automated. Only one person is needed to observe the operation of the machine and handle emergencies to complete the assembly. One person can even be responsible for multiple machines at the same time, reducing labor costs and improving production efficiency.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the tube sleeve conveying production line 9 includes a storage box 12 and a tube sleeve conveying channel 13. The tube sleeve conveying channel 13 is connected to the storage box 12. A through groove connected to the tube sleeve conveying channel 13 is opened on the side of the storage box 12 near the tube sleeve conveying channel 13. The tube sleeves 1 in the storage box 12 are conveyed to the tube sleeve conveying channel 13 along the through groove. The side of the storage box 12 facing the human body and the top surface are open, making it convenient for people to place the injection-molded tube sleeves 1 into the storage box 12. A sliding piece is provided in the storage box 12, and the position of the sliding piece in the storage box 12 is controlled by bolts. The storage box 12 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the sliding piece inside it to accommodate tubes 1 of different lengths, thereby improving the practicality of the assembly equipment. The side wall of the storage box 12 away from the tube conveying channel 13 is inclined so that the tubes 1 inside the storage box 12 can be continuously conveyed to the tube conveying channel 13, avoiding the occurrence of tube jamming. At the same time, the bottom of the storage box 12 is equipped with a rotating wheel that rotates in the direction of the tube conveying channel 13 to achieve the purpose of continuously conveying the tubes 1 forward.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, a tube sleeve rotating disk is provided on the other side of the tube sleeve conveying channel 13. The tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 drives the tube sleeve disk 23 and the tube sleeve rotating disk. The tube sleeve rotating disk and the tube sleeve disk 23 are supported at both ends of the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14. The tube sleeve disk 23 acts as the driving wheel to pull the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 to rotate. Therefore, the tube sleeve 1 is transported under the drive of the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14. At the same time, the conveyor belt extends the transport path of the tube sleeve 1, which makes it easier to adjust the position of the tube sleeve 1 during the transport process and facilitates subsequent assembly.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 12 As shown, the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 has several placement slots. The placement slots pass through both sides of the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14. The cross-sectional shape of the placement slot is an isosceles trapezoid. The width of the placement slot near the outer wall of the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 is greater than its width near the inner wall of the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14. The width of the placement slot near the inner wall of the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 is less than the diameter of the tube sleeve 1 but greater than the radius of the tube sleeve 1. The opening of the placement slot is relatively large to facilitate the sliding of the tube sleeve 1 into the placement slot. The opening at the bottom of the placement slot is small to prevent the tube sleeve 1 from slipping off. At the same time, the bottom of the placement slot passes through to facilitate the adjustment of the placement position of the tube sleeve 1.

[0039] like Figure 7 and Figure 12As shown, a correction component 15 for adjusting the uniform placement of the tube sleeve 1 is provided between the tube sleeve rotating disk and the tube sleeve and acupuncture needle combination device 11. The correction component 15 drives the tube sleeve 1 to rotate. The correction component 15 includes a rotating roller 16 and an identification device 17. The rotating roller 16 and the identification device 17 are respectively placed on both sides of the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14. The relative positions of the rotating roller 16, the identification device 17 and the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 are not limited. When the rotating roller 16 is above the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14, the identification device 17 is below the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14. When the rotating roller 16 is below the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14, the identification device 17 is above the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14. The rotating roller 16 and the identification device 17 are placed correspondingly. The identification device 17 is electrically connected to the control console. The rotating roller 16 is driven to rotate by a motor. The rotation of the motor is controlled by the control console. An anti-slip layer is adhered to the outer peripheral wall of the rotating roller 16.

[0040] like Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 12 As shown, the identification device 17 adjusts according to different identification points 4. When the identification point 4 is set as a protrusion or a groove, the identification device 17 selects a distance detection device, such as infrared identification or laser ranging. The identification device 17 is fixed at the position directly corresponding to the identification point 4. The length from the identification device 17 to the outer peripheral wall of the tube sleeve 1 is a predetermined length. If the detection distance is not greater than or less than the predetermined length, it indicates that the tube sleeve 1 is placed in the correct position. After receiving the signal, the identification device 17 transmits it to the control console. The control console controls the motor to stop working and simultaneously starts the drive tube sleeve disk 23 and acupuncture disk 24 to rotate, driving the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 to move and transport the tube sleeve 1. When the identification device 17 detects the signal, the motor... When the rotating roller 16 stops rotating and the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 moves, if the identification device 17 does not detect a signal, the motor drives the rotating roller 16 to rotate and the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 stops. If the distance detected by the identification device 17 is a predetermined length, it indicates that the tube sleeve 1 is not placed in the correct position. The identified signal is transmitted to the control console, which drives the motor to rotate the rotating roller 16. The anti-slip layer on the rotating roller 16 increases the friction on the outside of the rotating roller 16, so that the rotating roller 16 can stably drive the tube sleeve 1 to rotate in the placement groove until the tube sleeve 1 rotates to the correct position, and then it is conveyed, so that the position of the tube sleeve 1 conveyed to the tube sleeve and acupuncture needle combination device 11 is uniform and correct.

[0041] like Figure 13 As shown, the acupuncture needle conveying line 10 includes an acupuncture needle conveying channel, a primary sorting component, and a secondary sorting component. Friction strips are bonded to the top surface of the acupuncture needle conveying channel. The acupuncture needles have a small diameter and a smooth surface. The friction strips make the acupuncture needles stable when placed on the acupuncture needle conveying channel and prevent them from sliding due to machine vibration.

[0042] like Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown, the initial sorting assembly includes a lever 18 and an initial sorting tray 19. One end of the lever 18 is fixedly connected to the acupuncture needle conveying channel, and the other end of the lever 18 contacts the acupuncture needles on the acupuncture needle conveying channel. The initial sorting tray 19 is rotatably connected to the acupuncture needle conveying channel, and the top surface of the initial sorting tray 19 is arc-shaped. Several sorting grooves are opened on the top surface of the initial sorting tray 19. When the lever 18 contacts the acupuncture needles, it can spread the stacked acupuncture needles as flat as possible, which is convenient for subsequent sorting. Compared with the tube sleeve conveying line 9, the acupuncture needle conveying line 10 adds an initial sorting assembly to ensure that the acupuncture needles can be stably conveyed backward. The initial sorting tray 19 is rotatably connected to the acupuncture needle conveying channel. As the initial sorting tray 19 rotates, a portion of the acupuncture needles are conveyed forward to ensure that the acupuncture needles can be placed individually in each storage slot when they are conveyed to the fine sorting assembly.

[0043] like Figure 9 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the fine sorting assembly includes an acupuncture needle rotating disk 20 and an acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21. The acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21 is connected to the acupuncture needle rotating disk 20 and the tube sleeve and acupuncture needle combination device 11. The acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21 has several placement slots. The distance between adjacent placement slots is smaller than that between adjacent sorting slots. An inclined plate 22 is placed between the initial sorting disk 19 and the acupuncture needle rotating disk 20. The end of the inclined plate 22 near the initial sorting disk 19 is higher than the end of the inclined plate 22 near the acupuncture needle rotating disk 20. The inclined plate 22 faces the side of the acupuncture needle rotating disk 20. The acupuncture needles that have been initially sorted are conveyed under the action of the inclined plate 22. The center line of the placement slot coincides with the center line of the placement slot. Since the diameter of the acupuncture needle is smaller than the diameter of the tube sleeve 1, the depth of the placement slot is smaller than the depth of the placement slot. This makes the axis of the acupuncture needle and the tube sleeve 1 coincide when the acupuncture needle is placed in the placement slot and the tube sleeve 1 is placed in the placement slot. The acupuncture needle can be stably assembled when combined with the tube sleeve 1.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figures 10-13As shown, the tube sleeve and acupuncture needle assembly 11 includes an assembly component for assembling the acupuncture needle and tube sleeve 1 and a fixing component for fixing the acupuncture needle inside the tube sleeve 1. The assembly component includes a tube sleeve disc 23 and an acupuncture disc 24 arranged in parallel. A tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 drives the tube sleeve disc 23 and the tube sleeve rotating disc, and an acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21 drives the acupuncture needle rotating disc 20 and the acupuncture disc 24. The side walls of both the tube sleeve disc 23 and the acupuncture disc 24 are provided with teeth that mesh with the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 and the acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21. The rotation of the tube sleeve disc 23 and the acupuncture disc 24 is facilitated by... Driven simultaneously by the control console, the tube sleeve plate 23 and acupuncture plate 24 act as the driving wheels for the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 and the acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21. Therefore, the displacement of the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 and the acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21 is controlled by the tube sleeve plate 23 and the acupuncture plate 24. Thus, after the control console receives the signal that the tube sleeve 1 is neatly arranged, it drives the tube sleeve plate 23 and the acupuncture plate 24 to rotate. Since the tube sleeve plate 23 and the acupuncture plate 24 are controlled in unison, the displacement distance of the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14 and the acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21 is also synchronized, ensuring that the acupuncture needles can be stably inserted into the tube sleeve 1 during assembly.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figures 10-13 As shown, the assembly also includes a vacuum pump 25 and a suction box 26. The suction box 26 has a vent groove on the side facing the pipe. The suction end of the vacuum pump 25 is connected to the suction box 26 and draws the acupuncture needles placed on the acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21 to the tube sleeve 1 placed on the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14. The control console starts the vacuum pump 25, which draws and pulls the acupuncture needles along the central axis of the tube sleeve 1 towards the suction box 26. A blocking block is fixed on the bottom surface of the side wall of the suction box 26 near the opening. The height of the blocking block is equal to the wall thickness of the tube sleeve 1. After the vacuum pump 25 starts, the blocking block restricts the movement of the tube sleeve 1 towards the suction box 26 but does not block the movement of the acupuncture needles. The depth of the suction box 26 is small. To prevent the acupuncture needle from sliding through the sleeve 1 during the sliding process, and to ensure smooth assembly, the depth of the suction box 26 is usually half that of the sleeve 1. This length also allows the needle handle to pass through the sleeve 1, providing a force point for fixing the needle handle in the fixing groove 3. A limit plate is also provided at the assembly component. The limit plate is fixed to the equipment. The bottom surface of the limit plate abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the acupuncture needle placed on the acupuncture needle conveyor belt 21, but does not apply excessive pressure to the acupuncture needle. The limit plate can restrict the sliding direction of the acupuncture needle. If the suction force of the air pump 25 is too large, the acupuncture needle will sway and deviate from side to side during the sliding process. Similarly, to ensure the stability of the assembly of the acupuncture needle and the sleeve 1.

[0046] like Figure 2 , Figure 10 and Figure 13As shown, the fixing assembly includes an identification and detection device 27 and a fixing rod 28. The identification and detection device 27 and the fixing rod 28 are connected via a control console. After the identification and detection device 27 identifies the identification point 4 on the assembled tube sleeve 1 and the tube sleeve 1 of the acupuncture needle, the identification and detection device 27 transmits a signal to the control console. The control console drives the fixing rod 28 to push the acupuncture needle into the fixing groove 3 formed by the clamping member 2 inside the tube sleeve 1. After the identification and detection device 27 detects the identification point 4 on the tube sleeve 1 of the assembled acupuncture needle, it transmits a signal to the control console, which then drives the fixing rod 28 to move. If the identification point 4 on the tube sleeve 1 is detected by the identification and detection device 27, the fixing rod 28 will move. If point 4 is above, then the fixing groove 3 set inside the tube sleeve 1 is also located at the upper part of the tube sleeve 1. The fixing rod 28 is set below the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14. The equipment is fixed with a linear motion device such as a cylinder. The cylinder is controlled by a control console. The fixing rod 28 is fixed on the piston of the cylinder. The axis of the fixing rod 28 is set perpendicular to the axis of the acupuncture needle. The top of the fixing rod 28 is provided with an arc-shaped groove, which matches the handle of the acupuncture needle. The arc-shaped groove increases the contact area between the fixing rod 28 and the handle, ensuring that when the fixing rod 28 moves upward, it pushes the acupuncture needle upward and engages it in the fixing groove 3 inside the tube sleeve 1.

[0047] like Figures 1-13 As shown, the assembly equipment is equipped with a finished product channel and a waste product channel. The finished product channel is located above the waste product channel, and the opening width of the finished product channel is greater than the opening width of the waste product channel. After the acupuncture needle and tube sleeve 1 are assembled, the overall length is greater than the length of the individual acupuncture needle and tube sleeve 1. Therefore, the assembled acupuncture needle and tube sleeve 1 that meet the requirements enter the finished product channel, while the unassembled ones are shorter and will fall into the waste product channel for recycling. Example

[0048] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the clamping member 2 is recessed inward through the outer wall of the sleeve 1 to form a second protrusion 6, and the fixing groove 3 is set between the two second protrusions 6. The outer peripheral wall of the sleeve 1 is formed with a groove corresponding to the second protrusion 6. The second protrusion 6 is formed by injection molding on the outer peripheral wall of the sleeve 1, which further saves the raw materials used in the production of the sleeve 1. This method is the same as the principle of Embodiment 1. The acupuncture needle is fixed by the fixing groove 3. During transportation, the axis of the acupuncture needle and the sleeve 1 do not coincide, and the flexibility of needle insertion is relatively high, which is more suitable for experienced people. Example

[0049] The difference from Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 is that the clamping member 2 includes a support rod 7 and a fixing ring 8. The support rod 7 is fixed in a circumferential array on the outside of the fixing ring 8, and the other end of the support rod 7 is fixed on the inner wall of the sleeve 1. The central area of ​​the fixing ring 8 is a fixing groove 3. The fixing ring 8 directly fixes the acupuncture needle. During transportation and use, the acupuncture needle and the axis of the fixing ring 8 are aligned. Before inserting the needle, the acupoint can be pre-aligned through the sleeve 1, which is more suitable for beginners.

[0050] Example 4: The tube sleeve 1 from Examples 1 and 2 can be assembled with existing acupuncture needles. The difference from Example 1 is that if the identification point 4 of the tube sleeve 1 is at the bottom, then the fixing groove 3 set in the tube sleeve 1 is also at a lower position of the tube sleeve 1. The fixing rod 28 is set above the tube sleeve conveyor belt 14. A linear motion device such as a cylinder is fixed on the equipment. The cylinder is controlled by a control console. The fixing rod 28 is fixed on the piston of the cylinder. The axis of the fixing rod 28 is set perpendicular to the axis of the acupuncture needle. The top of the fixing rod 28 is provided with an arc-shaped groove, which matches the needle handle of the acupuncture needle. The arc-shaped groove increases the contact area between the fixing rod 28 and the needle handle, ensuring that when the fixing rod 28 is pressed down, it pushes the acupuncture needle downward and locks it into the fixing groove 3 in the tube sleeve 1.

[0051] Example 5: The tube sleeve 1 from Examples 1 and 2 can be assembled with existing acupuncture needles. The difference from Example 2 is that if the identification point 4 of the tube sleeve 1 is at the bottom, the fixing groove 3 set in the tube sleeve 1 is also at the lower position of the tube sleeve 1. After the acupuncture needle is inserted into the tube sleeve 1, it will move downward under the action of gravity, so that the central axis of the acupuncture needle is located below the central axis of the tube sleeve 1. The fixing rod 28 is set on one side of the tube sleeve 1. The axis of the fixing rod 28 is parallel to the axis of the tube sleeve 1 and the axis of the fixing rod 28 is higher than the axis of the tube sleeve 1. After the identification and detection device 27 identifies it, it drives the fixing rod 28 to move towards the tube sleeve 1 and insert it into the tube sleeve 1. The side of the fixing rod 28 near the tube sleeve 1 is set as a slope. The slope has a better clearance effect, ensuring that the fixing rod 28 can be stably inserted into the tube sleeve 1. As the diameter of the fixing rod 28 extending into the tube sleeve 1 increases, the fixing rod 28 presses down on the acupuncture needle. Under the action of pressure, the acupuncture needle is locked and fixed in the fixing groove 3.

[0052] Example 6: This example mainly focuses on the processing of Example 3. The suction force of the suction pump is 1.5 to 2 times that of the suction pump in Example 1. The increased suction force ensures that when the suction pump pulls the acupuncture needle, the needle handle can stably pass through the fixing ring 8 and be fixed inside the fixing ring 8, thus completing the assembly of the tube sleeve 1 and the acupuncture needle.
