Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of acupuncture disinfection technology, and in particular relates to an acupuncture disinfection device. Background Technology

[0002] Acupuncture disinfection devices are a type of disinfection equipment or tool specifically designed for acupuncture needles (such as filiform needles and moxa sticks). They kill pathogenic microorganisms through physical or chemical means, ensuring the sterility of the needles before use and thus reducing the risk of infection. Acupuncture involves inserting needles into the skin; if the needles are not thoroughly disinfected, they may carry bacteria or viruses (such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV), leading to infection in patients. Therefore, disinfection is necessary to prevent cross-infection.

[0003] Existing acupuncture disinfection devices still have some problems during use. For example, they are mostly static disinfection devices, where acupuncture needles are fixed in the device for disinfection. Static disinfection is inefficient and the disinfection effect is not ideal. Furthermore, existing disinfection devices cannot completely drain waste liquid, resulting in waste liquid residue in the device, which may pose a hygiene risk. To address these issues, we provide an acupuncture disinfection device to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0027] Further details: The lid 2 has a handle fixedly connected to the front for easy opening, facilitating the insertion or removal of acupuncture tools. Two drain pipes 4 are symmetrically positioned at the bottom of both sides of the sterilization box 1 to ensure complete drainage of sterilization waste liquid. The support plate 501 is slidably connected to the surface of the slide rod 9, allowing for vertical movement. The bottom of the placement basket 502 has honeycomb holes for drainage. The end of the rotating rod 504 furthest from the drive motor 503 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sterilization box 1 via a bearing, ensuring stability during rotation. One end of the reciprocating screw 601 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sterilization box 1 via a bearing, and the other end is rotatably connected to one side of the L-shaped support plate 7 via a bearing, ensuring stability during rotation. Both sides of the scraper 603 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sterilization box 1, ensuring stability during horizontal movement.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Please see Figures 1-5Based on Embodiment 1, the disinfection mechanism 3 includes a disinfectant tank 301 fixedly connected to one side of the top of the cover 2, a water pump 302 connected to one side of the disinfectant tank 301, and a water outlet pipe connected to the bottom of the water pump 302. The bottom of the water outlet pipe passes through the cover 2 and is connected to a spray plate 303. The linkage 604 includes a first gear disk 6041, a second gear disk 6042, and a synchronous toothed belt 6043. The first gear disk 6041 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the rotating rod 504, the second gear disk 6042 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the reciprocating screw 601, and the synchronous toothed belt 6043 is drivenly connected to the surfaces of the first gear disk 6041 and the second gear disk 6042. The bottom sides of the disinfection box 1 are both fixedly connected. An L-shaped support plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the L-shaped support plate 7. A water baffle plate 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the L-shaped support plate 7. Slide rods 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the L-shaped support plate 7. A spring 10 is sleeved on the surface of the slide rod 9. The bottom of the spring 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the L-shaped support plate 7. A bearing plate 501 is slidably connected to the surface of the slide rod 9. The top of the spring 10 is in contact with the bottom of the bearing plate 501. A limit sleeve 11 is threadedly connected to the top of the surface of the slide rod 9. The surface of the limit sleeve 11 is provided with anti-slip texture. A rectangular water channel is provided at the bottom of the L-shaped support plate 7. Disinfection waste liquid is discharged through the rectangular water channel. A manual valve is installed on the top of the surface of the drain pipe 4. A controller is fixedly connected to one side of the front of the disinfection box 1. The acupuncture disinfection device is controlled by the controller.

[0030] Further expansion: The acupuncture instruments placed inside the basket 502 are sprayed and disinfected by the spray plate 303. The water baffle 8 prevents the disinfectant from splashing onto the surface of the spring 10, making the spring 10 less prone to rusting. The limiting sleeve 11 is threaded to the top of the slide bar 9 to block and limit the support plate 501, and also facilitates the subsequent disassembly of the support plate 501 and the basket 502 for replacement or cleaning.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, open the box cover 2, then place the acupuncture instruments to be disinfected into the placement basket 502, and then start the drive motor 503 and water pump 302 respectively through the controller. This is the prior art, and this solution will not be described in detail. Moreover, those skilled in the art can clearly understand the working principle. The water pump 302 works to draw the disinfectant inside the disinfectant tank 301 into the spray plate 303, and the spray plate 303 sprays the disinfectant to disinfect the acupuncture instruments.

[0032] The drive motor 503 drives the rotating rod 504 to rotate, the rotating rod 504 drives the cam 505 to rotate, the cam 505 pushes the support plate 501 to move vertically, and the support plate 501 drives the placement basket 502 to move vertically, so as to dynamically disinfect the acupuncture instruments inside the placement basket 502, thereby improving the disinfection effect.

[0033] When it is necessary to drain the disinfection waste liquid at the bottom of the disinfection tank 1, first open the manual valve on the surface of the drain pipe 4. Then, drive the motor 503 to drive the rotating rod 504 to rotate. The rotating rod 504 drives the first gear disk 6041 to rotate. The first gear disk 6041 drives the second gear disk 6042 to rotate through the synchronous toothed belt 6043. The second gear disk 6042 drives the reciprocating screw 601 to rotate. The reciprocating screw 601 drives the sliding sleeve 602 to move. The sliding sleeve 602 drives the scraper 603 to move horizontally. During the horizontal movement of the scraper 603, the disinfection waste liquid at the bottom of the disinfection tank 1 can be discharged through the drain pipe, thereby improving hygiene and safety.

[0034] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
