The display screen 305 and the temperature regulator 306 are connected to the control main board. The temperature regulator 306 is used to adjust the heating temperature of the heating wire 301.
[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a temperature sensor 6 is installed at the bottom of the threaded column 2. The temperature sensor 6 is connected to the control main board and contacts the heat pipe 3 to detect the temperature.
[0047] Example 3 further optimizes the temperature-adjustable acupuncture needles provided in Example 1 or 2, specifically, as follows: Figures 1-3 As shown, an ultraviolet germicidal lamp 5 is also provided at the bottom of the threaded column 2, and two power switches 307 are provided on the front of the handle 1. One power switch 307 is connected to the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 5 and the battery 309, and the other power switch 307 is connected between the battery 309 and the control board. The ultraviolet germicidal lamp 5 is used to keep the needle body 303 sterilized and disinfected before use.
[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, two arc-shaped protective plates 4 are provided at the bottom of the threaded column 2. Arc-shaped baffles 401 are fixedly connected to the top of each of the two arc-shaped protective plates 4. An internally threaded tube 402 is sleeved between the outer surfaces of the two arc-shaped protective plates 4. The inner wall of the internally threaded tube 402 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded column 2. The diameter of the top opening of the internally threaded tube 402 is larger than the diameter of the bottom opening of the internally threaded tube 402. The arc-shaped protective plates 4 and the threaded column 2 can be connected together through the mutual cooperation of the internally threaded tube 402 and the arc-shaped baffles 401. The two arc-shaped protective plates 4 can protect the needle body 303.
[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a protective base plate 403 is fixedly installed inside one of the arc-shaped protective plates 4, and a first groove 405 is opened on the side of one of the arc-shaped protective plates 4. A second protruding rib 406 is fixedly connected to the other arc-shaped protective plate 4. The outer surface of the second protruding rib 406 is inserted into the inner wall of the first groove 405. The connection between the two arc-shaped protective plates 4 can be improved by inserting the first groove 405 and the second protruding rib 406.
[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a first protruding rib 404 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the protective base plate 403, and a second groove 407 is also provided on the other arc-shaped protective plate 4. The first protruding rib 404 is inserted into the inner wall of the second groove 407. The insertion between the second groove 407 and the first protruding rib 404 can improve the stability of the connection between the protective base plate 403 and the other arc-shaped protective plate 4.

When the needle body 303 needs to be replaced, unscrew the fastening bolt 304, pull the needle body 303 to separate the rectangular rod 302 from the heat-conducting tube 3, insert the rectangular rod 302 on the new needle body 303 into the heat-conducting tube 3, and then tighten the fastening bolt 304 to fix it. Then, screw the internal thread tube 402 onto the threaded post 2. Sterilize the needle body 303 with the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 5 to keep the needle body 303 sterile before use.
[0053] After the internal threaded tube 402 is separated from the arc-shaped protective plate 4, the internal threaded tube 402 is pulled away from the arc-shaped stop bar 401 to separate the internal threaded tube 402 from the arc-shaped protective plate 4, thus separating the two arc-shaped protective plates 4. This facilitates the cleaning and disinfection of the inner wall of the arc-shaped protective plate 4. After cleaning and disinfection, the two arc-shaped protective plates 4 are merged together, and then the internal threaded tube 402 is sleeved between the outer surfaces of the two arc-shaped protective plates 4. The internal threaded tube 402 is connected to the threaded post 2 to achieve the protection of the needle body 303 by the arc-shaped protective plate 4.
