[0023] like Figures 1-3 An adjustable oblique puncture and exhaust needle includes a needle body 1, with a puncture needle head 2 at one end of the needle body 1. The needle body 1 includes a first mating section 11 near the puncture needle head 2 and a second mating section 12 away from the puncture needle head 2. A depth limiting ring 4 is slidably connected to the outer periphery of the first mating section 11, and a handle 3 is connected to the outer periphery of the second mating section 12. Scale lines are provided on the surface of the needle body 1.

[0024] The puncture needle 2 includes a needle tip section 21 and a first connecting section 22. One end of the first connecting section 22 is connected to the needle tip section 21, and the other end of the first connecting section 22 is connected to the first mating section 11. The needle tip section 21 has a conical structure with a taper of 20-40°. A sliding groove 13 is provided on the outer periphery of the first mating section 11 along the length direction. The depth limiting ring 4 is slidably connected to the first mating section 11 through the sliding groove 13.

[0025] The first mating section 11 has an external thread on its outer circumference, and the depth limiting ring 4 has internal threads at positions corresponding to the external thread. The first mating section 11 and the depth limiting ring 4 are slidably adjusted through the sliding groove 13 and locked by a threaded connection. The handle 3 includes a second connecting section 31 and an arc section 32. The second mating section 12 has an external thread on its outer circumference, and the second connecting section 31 has internal threads at positions corresponding to the external thread.
