Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of veterinary acupuncture technology, and in particular, to a needle insertion device for equine bloodletting therapy. Background Technology
[0002] The information provided in this section is for the purpose of generally presenting the background of this application. To the extent described in this section, the work of the currently named inventors and aspects of the description that may not constitute prior art at the time of filing are neither explicitly nor implicitly considered to be prior art of this application.
[0003] In veterinary medicine, bloodletting therapy, also known as phlebotomy, is commonly used in the treatment of equine diseases to clear heat and toxins, promote blood circulation, and reduce swelling. It is used to treat conditions such as brain diseases, hoof and limb disorders, abdominal pain, and lymphatic circulation disorders. It can directly improve and regulate the flow of qi and blood in the local area, clear the meridians, and harmonize the qi and blood of the internal organs, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing swelling and relieving pain. The acupuncture points for bloodletting therapy are mostly located on the head, face, neck, and limbs of the affected horse.
[0004] Currently, the bloodletting therapy used by veterinarians in the treatment of equine diseases requires the use of a needle hammer to connect and fix the treatment needle. Then, the practitioner, based on their experience, swings the needle hammer to perform acupuncture at the bloodletting acupoint. This method requires a high level of skill in determining the location, proficiency in operation, control of the needle insertion depth, restraint of the horse, safety protection for both the horse and the practitioner, and sufficient space for swinging the hammer.
[0005] For example, Chinese patent publication number CN221831157U discloses an acupuncture needle inserter that can stably hold the needles, making it easy to operate and less prone to falling off. However, the existing needle inserters have relatively complex structures and high manufacturing and maintenance costs.
[0006] In practice, the disturbance caused by the needle hammer and the pain from the blood needles can irritate the horses, easily leading to panic, avoidance, and even aggression towards the practitioner. This results in low operational safety and reduced protection for both the practitioner and the horse, increasing the risk of therapeutic injuries to both.
[0007] In addition, uncontrollable factors in the bloodletting therapy procedure include the depth of needle insertion. If the needle is inserted too shallowly, it will not be able to release blood from the acupoint, causing unnecessary repetitive pain to the horse. If it is inserted too deeply, it will damage deep tissues, leading to medical accidents and harming the horse's welfare. Utility Model Content

The side wall of the sleeve 1 has a strip-shaped limiting groove along the axial direction, and a limiting slot 11 is provided on the side wall of the strip-shaped limiting groove. The needle 3 is movably disposed inside the sleeve 1, and the head of the needle 3 is used to extend out of the outside of the pre-set needle outlet at the head of the sleeve 1. The first end of the limiting member 4 is used to pass through the strip-shaped limiting groove and connect with the needle 3. The compression spring 5 is used to be sleeved on the needle 3 and press against the limiting member 4 and the base 2. The compression spring 5 is used to provide an elastic force to push the needle 3 away from the base 2. The limiting member 4 is used to push the needle 3 to move along the limiting groove and lock the needle 3 after the limiting member 4 is engaged in the limiting slot 11.
[0030] The term "limiting member 4" here refers to the structure connected to the needle 3. In some embodiments, the limiting member 4 is a rod-shaped structure.
[0031] The needle insertion device for the equine bloodletting therapy of this application is movably installed in the sleeve 1 via a needle 3, and a compression spring 5 is fitted on the needle 3. At the same time, a limiting member 4 is connected to the needle 3. A strip-shaped limiting groove is opened on the side wall of the sleeve 1, and a limiting slot 11 is opened on the side wall of the strip-shaped limiting groove. After the limiting member 4 passes through the strip-shaped limiting groove, it is connected to the needle 3. The limiting member 4 can drive the needle 3 to move along the strip-shaped limiting groove. After the limiting member 4 is engaged in the limiting slot 11, it can lock and limit the needle 3, and at the same time compress the compression spring 5. Then, simply push the limiting member 4 away from the limiting slot 11. Under the action of the elastic force of the compression spring 5, the needle 3 and the limiting member 4 can move quickly along the limiting strip-shaped groove, so as to insert the needle 3 into the acupoint of the horse.
[0032] Preferably, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, multiple limiting slots 11 are provided, and the multiple limiting slots 11 are spaced apart on the side wall with strip-shaped limiting grooves.
