Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bee therapy recycling equipment technology, and in particular to a bee recycling device for traditional Chinese medicine bee therapy. Background Technology

[0002] Bee therapy is a natural therapy that uses bees and their secretions to treat diseases. It is an important part of the external treatment methods in traditional Chinese medicine. It combines acupuncture theory with the pharmacological effects of bee venom. By stinging specific acupoints with bees or by directly applying bee venom preparations, it can achieve therapeutic effects such as unblocking meridians, regulating qi and blood, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, and relieving pain and swelling.

[0003] In practice, each bee therapy session may require dozens or even hundreds of bees. Since bees die shortly after stinging, a large number of used bees are generated during the treatment. Currently, medical personnel typically use homemade collection bins to collect these bees. However, existing collection devices are rather rudimentary, with their inlets often sealed with rubber, relying on the elasticity of the rubber for quick closure. This method has several problems: for example, it's difficult to open when releasing bees, and the bees' movement can cause jamming; also, once the collection bin is full, it's inconvenient to remove the bees for unified processing or recycling.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a bee recovery device for traditional Chinese medicine bee therapy to improve the standardization, safety and efficiency of bee therapy operations. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a bee recovery device for traditional Chinese medicine bee therapy.

[0006] The technical solution is as follows: A bee recovery device for traditional Chinese medicine bee therapy includes a bottom cylinder, a connecting cylinder, a delivery pipe, a mounting base, a connecting shaft, a cover plate, a pressure rod, and an elastic ring. The connecting cylinder is threaded onto the bottom cylinder, and the connecting cylinder and the bottom cylinder form a complete cylinder. A delivery pipe is provided at the top of the connecting cylinder. At least three mounting bases are provided at circumferential intervals at the top of the delivery pipe. A connecting shaft is provided on each mounting base, and a cover plate is hinged to each connecting shaft. Each cover plate can be tightly closed to seal the opening of the delivery pipe. A pressure rod in a bent shape is provided on each cover plate. An elastic ring is fitted between the opposite ends of each pressure rod to secure the position of each pressure rod and the cover plate.

[0007] Preferably, the assembly also includes a mounting ring, a connecting seat, a toggle frame, an elastic element, and a hammer. A mounting ring is provided on the upper side of the connecting cylinder, and connecting seats are provided at intervals along the circumference on the mounting ring. An arc-shaped toggle frame is hinged on the connecting seat, and an elastic element is provided between the toggle frame and the corresponding connecting seat. Hammers are provided at intervals on the side of the toggle frame facing the surface of the connecting cylinder.

[0008] Preferably, the striking end of the hammer is spherical.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a carrying strap, which is hinged between the two sides of the connecting cylinder for lifting and gripping.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes pads, with one pad provided around each of the four sides of the bottom of the bottom cylinder.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model achieves rapid opening and closing of the inlet of the delivery tube by setting a linkage opening structure consisting of a cover plate, a pressure rod and an elastic ring, which effectively avoids the phenomenon of bees getting stuck during delivery, improves the continuity and efficiency of bee therapy operation, and multiple cover plates are distributed around the top of the delivery tube, which can fit tightly in the closed state to ensure that a relatively closed environment is formed inside the recovery device, effectively preventing bees from escaping and odor from spreading, and improving the safety and hygiene level of the device.

[0013] 2. The bottom cylinder and connecting cylinder of this utility model adopt a threaded connection structure, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly, facilitates the removal of the recovered bees, and allows for cleaning and disinfection of the inside of the device, which is conducive to the repeated use and long-term maintenance and management of the equipment.

[0014] 3.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Example: A bee recovery device for traditional Chinese medicine bee therapy, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a bottom cylinder 1, a connecting cylinder 2, a delivery tube 3, a mounting base 5, a connecting shaft 6, a cover plate 7, a pressure rod 8, and an elastic ring 9. The connecting cylinder 2 is threaded onto the bottom cylinder 1, forming a complete sealed cylinder with the bottom cylinder 1. The bottom cylinder 1 can be rotated to separate from the connecting cylinder 2 along the thread direction, facilitating the subsequent removal of bees and cleaning and maintenance of the interior. A delivery tube 3 is located at the top of the connecting cylinder 2. The diameter of the delivery tube 3 is smaller than the diameter of the main body of the cylinder, forming a narrow neck channel, which serves as the main channel for bees to enter the interior of the cylinder. The entrance is designed to restrict the movement path of bees and prevent them from easily moving out. Eight mounting seats 5 are arranged circumferentially at the top of the delivery tube 3. Each mounting seat 5 is equipped with a connecting shaft 6, and a cover plate 7 is hinged to each connecting shaft 6. Each cover plate 7 can be tightly closed to seal the opening of the delivery tube 3. A bent pressing rod 8 is provided on each cover plate 7. An elastic ring 9 is fitted between the opposite ends of each pressing rod 8 to secure the position of each pressing rod 8 and the cover plate 7.

[0023] Specifically, to further improve the inconvenience of operating traditional recycling bins, this solution innovatively introduces a linkage-type cover plate 7 opening mechanism. Users only need to push the lower lever 8 on either side to push the corresponding cover plate 7 to flip upward around the connecting shaft 6. At this time, the elastic ring 9 is stretched by force and drives the other lower levers 8 to move synchronously with the cover plate 7, realizing the coordinated opening of all cover plates 7. This linkage mechanism greatly simplifies the operation process and effectively improves the overall ease of use.

[0024] When it is necessary to close the inlet of the delivery tube 3, simply release the pressure rod 8. Under the rebound action of the elastic ring 9, all the cover plates 7 will automatically reset and close tightly, ensuring that the cylinder is in a good sealing state and effectively preventing bees from escaping.

[0025] It can be seen that the simultaneous opening and closing of multiple covers 7 can be achieved by controlling the pressure rod 8 at a single point, which significantly improves the operating efficiency. At the same time, the design of multiple covers 7 being tightly closed, combined with the elastic ring 9 assisting in the reset function, ensures that the opening of the delivery tube 3 has good sealing performance, enabling safe, efficient, and controllable recovery and management of bees.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a mounting ring 10, a connecting seat 11, a lever frame 12, an elastic element 13, and a hammer 14. A mounting ring 10 is provided on the upper side of the connecting cylinder 2. Four connecting seats 11 are arranged circumferentially on the mounting ring 10. Each connecting seat 11 is hinged with a lever frame 12 with an arc-shaped structure. The lever frame 12 can rotate around its corresponding connecting seat 11. An elastic element 13 is provided between the lever frame 12 and the corresponding connecting seat 11. In this embodiment, the elastic element 13 is a torsion spring, which can provide the necessary elastic support for the operation of the lever frame 12, so that the lever frame 12 always keeps in contact with the connecting cylinder 2. Hammers 14 are arranged at intervals on the side of the lever frame 12 facing the surface of the connecting cylinder 2. The striking end of the hammer 14 is spherical, so that the hammer 14 can achieve a buffering effect when striking the connecting cylinder 2, avoiding excessive impact or damage to the equipment caused by rigid collision. At the same time, when the hammer 14 moves with the actuating frame 12, it strikes the connecting cylinder 2, causing vibration, which effectively stimulates the climbing bee to fall back into the cylinder, preventing the bee from climbing to the top and causing a decrease in retrieval efficiency or the risk of escape.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a grip plate 15. The bottom of the bottom cylinder 1 is provided with a grip plate 15, which makes it easy for the user to hold and operate the bottom cylinder 1 stably.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a carrying strap 16. The carrying strap 16 is hinged between the two sides of the connecting tube 2 for lifting and holding. The carrying strap 16 makes it easier for users to lift or carry the entire device, improving portability and ease of use.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes pads 4. A pad 4 is provided around the bottom of the bottom cylinder 1. The pads 4 are used to support the bottom cylinder 1 and maintain its placement stability, while avoiding direct contact between the bottom and the ground to prevent wear or contamination.

[0030] When using this traditional Chinese medicine bee therapy bee retrieval device, first ensure that the bottom cylinder 1 and the connecting cylinder 2 are stably connected. Then, the entire device can be moved to the desired position by holding the carrying strap 16. When bees need to be retrieved, the operator can push the downward pressure lever 8 on one side, causing it to press downwards and rotate the connected cover plate 7 around the connecting shaft 6, thus opening the cover plate 7 and its components upwards. At this time, the elastic ring 9 is stretched and expanded, and under its elastic action, it further drives the remaining cover plates 7 to rotate synchronously, thus fully opening the opening of the delivery tube 3. The bees to be retrieved can then be sent through the delivery tube 3 into the internal space formed by the connecting cylinder 2 and the bottom cylinder 1. After releasing the downward pressure lever 8, under the reset action of the elastic ring 9, each cover plate 7 automatically returns to its position and closes, sealing the opening of the delivery tube 3, completing one retrieval operation. The above actions can be repeated for continuous retrieval. In actual operation, if bees climb up the cylinder wall, to avoid affecting the recovery efficiency, the actuating frame 12 can be pulled to rotate around the connecting seat 11, simultaneously causing the elastic element 13 to deform. After releasing the actuating frame 12, the elastic element 13 quickly returns to its original position, pushing the actuating frame 12 to automatically close and adhere to the surface of the connecting cylinder 2. A striking hammer 14 mounted on the actuating frame 12 strikes the connecting cylinder 2, generating a vibration effect that causes the climbing bees to fall back down, thus ensuring the smooth progress of the recovery process. After the recovery operation is completed, if it is necessary to remove the bees inside, the bottom cylinder 1 can be rotated by holding the handle 15 to separate it from the connecting cylinder 2 along the thread direction, thereby opening the device for easy removal and subsequent processing of the bees inside.

[0031] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
