Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of moxibustion tools, specifically relating to a ash collection and needle removal box. Background Technology
[0002] Moxibustion, a type of moxibustion therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine, uses the heat generated by moxa (made from mugwort leaves) to stimulate acupoints or specific areas on the body's surface. This stimulates the flow of Qi (vital energy) to regulate disordered physiological and biochemical functions, thereby achieving the purpose of disease prevention and treatment. During the procedure, the practitioner wraps the moxa material around the tip of an acupuncture needle, inserts the needle into the patient's acupoint, and then ignites the moxa material to administer the treatment.
[0003] After the moxibustion material has burned out, the operator needs to replace it. The usual procedure is to remove the moxibustion material from the acupuncture needle or pull out the acupuncture needle before replacing it. Generally, the operator manually pulls out the acupuncture needle. However, in actual operation, the operator's manual operation is often unstable, causing the moxa ash (the ash after the moxibustion material has burned) to fall onto the patient's skin. The residual heat of the moxa ash can easily burn the patient and easily soil the patient's skin, making it inconvenient to clean later. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an ash removal and needle removal box to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the ash removal and needle removal box of this utility model, the height of the arched frame is higher than the height of the partition.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] In use, this invention features an operating box with an ash storage trough on its inner side and an operating opening on the side wall of the ash storage trough. When the operator removes the acupuncture needles from the patient's body or removes the ash from the tip of the acupuncture needles, the operator holds the operating box, aligns the operating opening with the acupuncture needle, and moves the operating box so that the middle of the acupuncture needle is inside the operating opening. At this time, the operator presses the elastic operating box, causing the operating opening to clamp the acupuncture needle, which can then be pulled out. During the operation, the ash at the tip of the acupuncture needle is located inside the operating box, thus preventing the ash from falling and burning the patient. The operation is convenient and safe. Furthermore, if only the ash needs to be removed, the operator does not need to squeeze the operating box; they only need to move the operating box outward so that the narrow operating opening can scrape off the ash at the tip of the acupuncture needle. The operation is convenient.
[0015] Furthermore, the device features an ash storage trough and a needle storage trough. The inner wall of the ash storage trough is equipped with an arched frame, telescopic side plates, and a telescopic bottom plate. The needle storage trough is located on one side of the ash storage trough. When the operator needs to remove the acupuncture needle, the acupuncture needle is first positioned inside the operating opening. The operator then squeezes the operating box to clamp the acupuncture needle, which can then be removed. After removal, the operator shakes the operating box to dislodge the ash from the needle tip, causing it to fall onto the arched frame. The arched frame guides the ash to the inner side of the ash storage area. The operator then squeezes the operating box, compressing the telescopic side plates and the telescopic bottom plate. This causes the arched frame and the acupuncture needle clamped by the clamp to move towards the needle storage trough. At this point, the clamp is released, allowing the ash-removed acupuncture needle to fall into the inner side of the needle storage trough. This facilitates the separation and storage of the acupuncture needle and ash, making subsequent cleaning easier and highly practical. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Example
[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides the following technical solution: a needle removal and ash collection box, including an operation box 1. The top of the operation box 1 is open to facilitate the operator's observation of the needle removal process. A partition 2 is fixed to the bottom inner side of the operation box 1, and an ash storage trough 3 is provided on one side of the partition 2. (See attached drawing for details.) Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 An operating opening 33 is provided on the top of one side wall of the ash storage trough 3. The size of the operating opening 33 is larger than that of a conventional acupuncture needle, which facilitates the movement of the acupuncture needle. A clamp 34 is fixed to one side outer wall of the operating box 1. The clamp 34 is symmetrically fixed on both sides of the operating opening 33. The operating box 1 is made of elastic material. In this solution, when the operator removes the acupuncture needle from the patient's body, the operator can move the operating box 1 so that the acupuncture needle is located inside the operating opening 33. Then, the operator presses the operating box 1 so that the clamp 34 clamps the acupuncture needle. At this time, the moxa ash at the end of the acupuncture needle is inside the operating box 1, which prevents the moxa ash from falling onto the patient's body and causing burns when the operator removes the acupuncture needle. The operation is convenient and safe.
[0025] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, specifically, an arched frame 35 is fixed to one inner wall of the ash storage trough 3. The arched frame 35 is fixed to one side of the operating opening 33, located at the bottom side of the operating opening 33. The arched frame 35 includes a fixing plate 351 and an ash guide plate 352. The fixing plate 351 is fixed to one side of the operating opening 33. Ash guide plates 352 are symmetrically fixed to both sides of the fixing plate 351. The ends of the ash guide plates 352 and the inner wall of the operating box 1 have a certain gap to facilitate the passage of ash. Telescopic side plates 31 are symmetrically fixed to both sides of the ash storage trough 3. A telescopic bottom plate 32 is fixed to the bottom of the ash storage trough 3. The ends of the telescopic bottom plate 32 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the telescopic side plates 31, so that the ash storage trough 3 can be compressed. A needle storage groove 4 is provided on the other side of the partition plate 2. The height of 5 is higher than that of partition 2, so as to avoid the arched frame 35 from obstructing the compression of the ash storage tank 3. After the operator removes the acupuncture needle and moxa ash from the patient, the acupuncture needle is held by the clamp 34. The operator shakes the operation box 1 to disperse the moxa ash at the end of the acupuncture needle, so that the moxa ash falls into the inner side of the ash storage tank 3 through the ash guide plate 352. Then the operator squeezes the telescopic plate of the ash storage tank 3, so that the arched frame 35 and the acupuncture needle move to the top of the needle storage tank 4. At this time, the operator releases the squeezed acupuncture needle, so that the acupuncture needle can fall smoothly into the inner side of the needle storage tank 4, which is convenient for separating the moxa ash and the acupuncture needle. The overall structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and it is convenient for subsequent operators to centrally process the moxa ash and acupuncture needle. It is highly practical.
[0026] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, specifically, a dust collection port 37 is provided on one side of the bottom of the dust collection trough 3. A first sealing component 36 is inserted into the inner side of the dust collection port 37. The first sealing component 36 includes a baffle 361, a connecting plate 362, and a connecting strap 363. The baffle 361 is inserted into the inner side of the dust collection port 37. The baffle 361 is made of elastic material. The connecting plate 362 is fixed to the bottom of the baffle 361. The connecting strap 363 is fixed to the side wall of the connecting plate 362. One end of the connecting strap 363 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the operation box 1. After the baffle 361 is pulled out, the inner ash can be removed. The needle storage slot 4 has a needle retrieval port 43 at its bottom. A guide plate 41 is symmetrically fixed to the bottom inner side of the needle storage slot 4. The guide plate 41 is symmetrically fixed on both sides of the needle retrieval port 43. The guide plate 41 is inclined to facilitate the guidance and gathering of acupuncture needles at the needle retrieval port 43. A second sealing component 42 is inserted into the inner side of the needle retrieval port 43. The second sealing component 42 has the same structure as the first sealing component 36. This solution facilitates the disposal of collected moxa ash or the removal of collected acupuncture needles by setting the ash retrieval port 37 and the needle retrieval port 43, thereby improving the convenience of acupuncture operation.
[0027] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When the operator removes the acupuncture needle from the patient's body, the operator can hold the operation box 1 and move the operation box 1 so that the operation port 33 moves upward from the bottom of the acupuncture needle, so that the acupuncture needle is located inside the operation port 33. At this time, the moxa ash at the end of the acupuncture needle is located inside the operation box 1. Then the operator presses the operation box 1 so that the clamp 34 clamps the acupuncture needle, and then pulls the acupuncture needle outward. The operation is convenient and avoids the situation of moxa ash falling and burning the patient.
[0028] After the operator removes the acupuncture needle, the operator shakes the operating box 1 to disperse the moxa ash at the tip of the acupuncture needle and let it fall into the inner side of the ash storage trough 3 for easy collection. Then the operator squeezes the ash storage trough 3 to move the acupuncture needle upwards towards the needle storage trough 4. Releasing the squeezed ash storage trough 3 allows the acupuncture needle to fall into the inner side of the needle storage trough 4 for easy collection. The overall tool has a simple structure, is easy to obtain materials, and is highly practical.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
