Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroacupuncture device storage technology, and in particular to an electroacupuncture device wire harness storage box. Background Technology
[0002] Electroacupuncture involves inserting electric needles into acupoints on the body. Since the human body contains a weak electric current, electroacupuncture combines the stimulation of electricity and needles to effectively control the stimulation of acupoints. The instrument used in electroacupuncture is an electroacupuncture device, which is connected to multiple wires, each with a conductive clip at its end. After multiple electric needles are inserted into the corresponding acupoints, each needle can be independently held by a conductive clip, allowing the needle to conduct electricity and stimulate the acupoint. Because each wire of the electroacupuncture device is quite long, each wire needs to be individually coiled and bundled for storage to prevent them from crossing and tangling, making wire storage cumbersome. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an electric needle wire harness storage box to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option or create conditions.
[0004] The technical solution adopted to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: an electroacupuncture device wire harness storage box for storing multiple wires of an electroacupuncture device. The storage box includes: a housing, installed on the electroacupuncture device; a storage wheel, rotatably installed on the housing, with a through hole at the center of rotation of the storage wheel; the number of storage wheels is the same as the number of wires; one end of the wire passes through the housing, and the other end passes through the through hole to the outer periphery of the storage wheel and then out of the housing; conductive clips and pins for connecting to the electroacupuncture device are respectively installed at both ends of the wire; and a ratchet assembly, including a ratchet coaxially installed on the storage wheel. A rim and a rotatable lever are mounted on the housing. The lever is equipped with a limit block and a pawl. The pawl, due to its own weight, abuts against the limit block. At this time, the pawl abuts against the ratchet rim, causing the ratchet rim to rotate intermittently in one direction only. A spiral spring, with one end mounted on the housing and the other end mounted on the storage wheel, provides a spring force to drive the storage wheel to rotate in the opposite direction to the unidirectional rotation direction of the ratchet rim, causing the wire to be wound around the outer circumference of the storage wheel. A switch assembly is used to drive the lever to rotate, thereby releasing the pawl from restricting the ratchet rim.
[0005] This technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects: When the electroacupuncture device is needed, the corresponding wire is pulled out. At this time, the pawl in the ratchet assembly abuts against the ratchet ring, preventing the storage wheel from winding the wire. This allows the wire to be pulled out smoothly without retracting. After using the electroacupuncture device, the switch assembly can be used to drive the swing arm to rotate, thereby releasing the pawl's restriction on the ratchet ring. Under the action of the spiral spring, the storage wheel can rotate and wind the wire, storing the wire back into the housing. Each wire is wound by a separate storage wheel, making it less likely for adjacent wires to cross and tangle. This allows each wire to be pulled out individually for use and stored separately after use, facilitating subsequent use and improving the efficiency of the electroacupuncture device and work efficiency.
[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the switch assembly includes a first button slidably disposed on the housing. The number of the first buttons is the same as the number of the storage wheels. A limiting shaft is installed at one end of the rocker arm. The first button has an elongated groove through which the limiting shaft passes and slides. Pressing the first button can push the rocker arm to rotate. A first elastic element is installed between the first button and the housing. The first elastic element provides a position for the first button to be held in the position where the pawl abuts against the ratchet ring. By pressing the first button, the rocker arm can be pushed to swing, thereby causing the rocker arm to move the pawl and disengage from the ratchet ring, thus releasing the pawl from the ratchet ring. This allows the storage wheels to wind the wire under the drive of the spiral spring, winding and storing the wire. After releasing the first button, the first elastic element restores the first button to its initial state and drives the rocker arm back to its initial position, i.e., the pawl abuts against the ratchet ring again, so that the storage wheels can only rotate in one direction, allowing the wire to be pulled out again.
[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the first elastic element is a helical spring that abuts against the first button and the housing respectively.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the housing is slidably equipped with a second button. The second button presses against the top of all the first buttons. Pressing any one of the first buttons will not press the other first buttons, but pressing the second button will press all the first buttons. By pressing the corresponding first button, one wire can be stored, allowing for flexible storage of different wires at different times, which is very convenient. Furthermore, by pressing the second button, multiple wires can be directly wound and stored, thereby further improving the efficiency of wire storage.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, all the first buttons are fixedly connected to each other to form the second button.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the end of the wire away from the plug is split into two branched wires. The number of storage wheels is twice the number of wires. The ends of the two branched wires away from the plug are respectively positioned behind two adjacent storage wheels, passing through the housing and each is fitted with a conductive clip. Separating and coiling the two branched wires within the wire reduces the possibility of the two branched wires crossing, tangling, or knotting.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the housing is equipped with a support platform and a clamping plate. The clamping plate and the support platform are rotatably connected at one end, and extend out of the housing at the other end, where a snap-fit device is installed so that they can be fastened together. The support platform and the clamping plate can hold the end of the wire near the conductive clamp. A second elastic member is installed between the support platform and the clamping plate, providing an elastic force to separate the support platform and the clamping plate. When using the electroacupuncture device, after the clamping plate and the support platform are fastened together using the snap-fit device, the wire can be held, preventing the wire from accidentally retracting due to accidental contact or other reasons, thus ensuring the safety of using the electroacupuncture device.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the second elastic element is a torsion spring with its two ends respectively abutting against the support platform and the clamping plate.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the fastening component is a hook and a ring respectively provided on the support platform and the clamping plate, and the fastener can be locked in the ring.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, mounting plates are provided on both sides of the housing, and the mounting plates are threaded with screws that are connected to the electric needle device. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Reference Figures 1-6The electroacupuncture device 110 is an instrument that transmits a small amount of current to the human body via wires 300. Six wires 300 are inserted and connected to the front of the electroacupuncture device 110. One end of each wire 300 has a pin 310, and the other end has two conductive clips 320. Current is applied to the wire 300 when the end with the pin 310 is inserted into the electroacupuncture device 110. The two conductive clips 320 connected to the same wire 300 represent the positive and negative terminals, respectively. The top of the electroacupuncture device 110 has a master switch 111 and six rotary switches 112 for adjusting the current parameters of each wire 300. In other types of electroacupuncture devices 110, the number of wires 300 can be four, five, seven, eight, etc.; in this embodiment, the number of wires 300 is six.
[0028] The electroacupuncture device wiring harness storage box includes a housing 100, a storage wheel 200, a ratchet assembly, a spiral spring, and a switch assembly. The electroacupuncture device wiring harness storage box can store six wires 300 from the electroacupuncture device 110.
[0029] Both sides of the housing 100 are integrally formed with mounting plates 800. Two screws 810 are inserted through the mounting plates 800. Two threaded holes are opened on both sides of the front side of the electroacupuncture device 110. The shanks of the screws 810 pass through the mounting plates 800 and are screwed into the threaded holes, so that the housing 100 can be installed at the front side of the electroacupuncture device 110. At this time, the bottom surface of the housing 100 is flush with the bottom surface of the electroacupuncture device 110 to facilitate the placement of the electroacupuncture device 110.
[0030] The storage wheel 200 is cylindrical and is stably rotated within the housing 100 via bearings. There are 12 storage wheels 200, and each storage wheel 200 has a cylindrical through hole 210 in the middle. The outer periphery of each storage wheel 200 has an edge on both sides to prevent the wires wound around the outer periphery of the storage wheel 200 from coming out.
[0031] The end of the wire 300 away from the plug 310 splits into two branch wires 330. Each of the two branch wires 330 connected to the same wire 300 has a conductive clip 320 installed at its end away from the plug 310. The two branch wires 330 connected to the same wire 300 pass through the sidewalls of the through holes 210 of two adjacent receiving wheels 200 and into the outer wall of the receiving wheel 200. Each branch wire 330 that exits the outer wall of the receiving wheel 200 is wrapped around the outer wall of the receiving wheel 200 and then exits to the front exterior of the housing 100, where it is fitted with a conductive clip 320. Due to the restriction of the conductive clip 320, the branch wires 330 cannot retract into the housing 100, thus allowing the branch wires 330 to be pulled from the outside of the housing 100.
[0032] The ratchet assembly includes a ratchet ring 400, a lever 410, and a pawl 420. The ratchet ring 400 is fixedly mounted on one side of the storage wheel 200, and the rotation axis of the ratchet ring 400 coincides with the rotation axis of the storage wheel 200. Ratchet teeth are provided on the outer periphery of the ratchet ring 400. The middle part of the lever 410 is rotatably mounted on the housing 100, and the pawl 420 is rotatably mounted on one end of the lever 410. A limit block 430 is integrally formed at the end of the lever 410 where the pawl 420 is mounted. The limit block 430 is crescent-shaped and surrounds the rotation position of the pawl 420, thereby limiting the rotation range of the pawl 420. Under its own weight, the pawl 420 abuts against one side of the limit block 430. At this time, the end of the pawl 420 also abuts against the outer periphery of the ratchet ring 400, that is, it is in the state where the first button 600 is not pressed.
[0033] The switch assembly includes a first button 600, a limiting shaft 610, and a first elastic element 630. The number of the first button 600, the limiting shaft 610, and the first elastic element 630 are the same as and correspond to the number of the receiving wheels 200. The first button 600 is slidably disposed on the top surface of the housing 100. The first elastic element 630 is a helical spring. The bottom of the first button 600 is cylindrical to accommodate the helical spring. The top end of the helical spring abuts against the top of the first button 600, and the bottom end abuts against the housing 100. At this time, the top surface of the first button 600 is flush with the top surface of the housing 100, so that the first button 600 can be pressed from outside the housing 100. It should be noted that the top of the housing 100 has an opening for receiving the first button. The top edge of the opening is provided with an edge strip to prevent the first button 600 from disengaging. Under the elastic force of the helical spring, the first button 600 can be kept in the state of pressing against the edge strip.
[0034] The spiral spring 500 is spiral-shaped. One end of the spiral spring 500 is fixedly connected to the housing 100, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the through hole 210 of the storage wheel 200.
[0035] The bottom of the first button 600 has a horizontally oriented elongated groove 620. A limiting shaft 610 is installed at the end of the rocker arm 410 away from the pawl 420, and the limiting shaft 610 passes through the elongated groove 620 and can slide within it. Due to the presence of the first elastic element 630, the first button 600 remains in the unpressed state, at which time the pawl 420 remains in contact with the outer periphery of the ratchet ring 400. When the branched wire 330 is pulled out, the branched wire 330 drives the receiving wheel 200 to rotate against the elastic force of the spiral spring 500, thereby causing the ratchet ring 400 to rotate synchronously. The teeth on the outer periphery of the ratchet ring 400 push the pawl 420 to swing in the opposite direction toward the limiting block 430, thus allowing the ratchet ring 400 to rotate smoothly.
[0036] When the branch wire 330 is released, the spring force stored in the spiral spring 500 drives the receiving wheel 200 to rotate in the opposite direction. However, because the teeth of the ratchet ring 400 abut against the pawl 420, the pawl 420 cannot continue to rotate under the restriction of the limit block 430 and thus jams the ratchet ring 400. That is, the ratchet ring 400 can only rotate intermittently in one direction at this time, so that the receiving wheel 200 cannot rotate in the opposite direction and keeps the branch wire 330 in the extended state, so as to facilitate the use of the branch wire 330.
[0037] After using the branched wire 330, when the first button 600 is pressed by overcoming the elastic force of the first elastic element 630, the rocker arm 410 can be pushed to swing, thereby driving the pawl 420 away from the ratchet ring 400, so that the pawl 420 releases its resistance to the ratchet ring 400. At this time, under the elastic force of the spiral spring 500, the storage wheel 200 is driven to rotate, thereby winding up the branched wire 330 and realizing the winding and storage of the branched wire 330.
[0038] Understandably, each branch wire 330 is independently controlled by a first button 600 during the winding process, which makes it less likely for multiple branch wires 330 to cross or get tangled. This makes it easier to organize and store the branch wires 330 for subsequent use, improving the efficiency of the electrocautery device 110 and thus increasing work efficiency.
[0039] In other embodiments, the switch assembly may also be a motor installed in the housing 100, with the output end of the motor connected to the rotation center of the rocker arm 410. This allows the rocker arm 410 to rotate via the drive motor, thereby disengaging the pawl 420 from the ratchet ring 400 and allowing the bifurcated wire 330 to be wound and stored under the action of the spiral spring 500.
[0040] In other embodiments, the two branched wires 330 connected to the same wire 300 need to be used simultaneously. These two branched wires 330 can be simultaneously wound onto a single winding wheel 200, meaning the number of winding wheels 200 is the same as the number of wires 300. One end of the wire 300, connected to the pin 310, extends out of the rear of the housing 100 and connects to the electrocautery device 110. The two branched wires connected to the other end of the wire 300 pass through the through hole 210 to the outer periphery of the winding wheel 200, then are wound around the outer periphery of the winding wheel 200 and exit through the front of the housing 100. When using the electrocautery device 110, the two branched wires 330 connected to the same wire 300 need to be pulled simultaneously for positive and negative polarity.
[0041] Furthermore, a second button 640 is slidably disposed on the top of the housing 100. The length and width dimensions of the second button 640 are both larger than those of the first button 600 to distinguish the second button 640 from the first button 600. A stepped edge is integrally formed on one side of the first button 600, and the bottom of the second button 640 abuts against the top of the stepped edge. When any one of the first buttons 600 is pressed, it will not affect the pressing state of the other first buttons 600. However, when the second button 640 is pressed, all the first buttons 600 can be pressed at the same time, thereby quickly winding up and organizing all the branched wires 330.
[0042] In other embodiments, all the first buttons 600 can be connected to form a single second button 640, so that all the branched wires 330 can be quickly wound up and organized when the second button 640 is pressed.
[0043] Furthermore, a support platform 700 is installed inside the housing 100. The support platform 700 is located at the bottom of the branching conductor 330. A clamping plate 710 is rotatably installed on one side of the support platform 700 via a rotating shaft. The clamping plate 710 is located at the top of the branching conductor 330. A fastening element is installed between the clamping plate 710 and the support platform 700 at the ends away from each other, so that the clamping plate 710 and the support platform 700 can be fastened together at the ends away from each other.
[0044] A second elastic element is installed between the clamping plate 710 and the support platform 700. The elastic force of the second elastic element can separate the clamping plate 710 and the support platform 700, keeping them in an open state. This ensures that the branch wire 330 can be smoothly pulled out and retracted when the clamping plate 710 and the support platform 700 are not engaged. After the clamping plate 710 and the support platform 700 are engaged against the elastic force of the second elastic element, the clamping plate 710 and the support platform 700 hold the branch wire 330, thereby preventing the branch wire 330 from retracting unexpectedly and ensuring safety during use.
[0045] It is understandable that rubber pads are affixed to the top of the support platform 700 and the bottom of the clamping plate 710 to prevent damage to the branch wire 330 during clamping. The fastening mechanism includes a hook 720 and a ring 730. The hook 720 is fixedly installed at the end of the clamping plate 710, and the ring 730 is located at the end of the support platform 700. The hook 720 can engage with the ring 730, thereby clamping the branch wire 330 between the clamping plate 710 and the support platform 700. When it is necessary to open the clamping plate 710 and the support platform 700, pressing the hook 720 from one side of the ring 730 will disengage the hook 720 from the ring 730, thus releasing the clamping restriction on the branch wire 330. In other embodiments, the positions of the hook 720 and the clasp 730 can also be interchanged, that is, the hook 720 is fixedly installed at the end of the support platform 700, while the clasp 730 is located at the end of the clamping plate 710.
[0046] The second elastic element is a torsion spring, with its middle portion sleeved on the rotating shaft. One end of the torsion spring abuts against the bottom of the clamping plate 710, and the other end abuts against the top of the support platform 700. The torsion spring's elastic force keeps the clamping plate 710 and the support platform 700 in an open state, ensuring that the branch wire 330 can be smoothly pulled out and retracted when the clamping plate 710 and the support platform 700 are not locked together.
[0047] Furthermore, a guide cylinder 900 can be installed on the side wall of the through hole 210 of the receiving wheel 200. The branched wire 330 passes through the guide cylinder 900. One end of the guide cylinder 900 is fixed to the side wall of the through hole 210 and connected to the outer side wall of the receiving wheel 200, while the other end is located at the rotation center of the receiving wheel 200. It is understandable that during the rotation of the receiving wheel 200, the branched wire 330 will inevitably twist. However, since the branched wire 330 is a flexible material, a certain degree of twisting will not affect the normal use of the branched wire 330.
[0048] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
