Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acupuncture needle technology, specifically a reflective acupuncture needle. Background Technology

[0002] Acupuncture typically involves needling and moxibustion. It mainly uses different needles or moxa products to operate on specific acupoints of the patient to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. Generally, the therapeutic effects of acupuncture include unblocking meridians, relieving pain, harmonizing yin and yang, strengthening the body's resistance and eliminating pathogens, and preventing and maintaining health. After the acupuncture needles are inserted into the skin, they can induce an improvement in local microcirculation and help increase regional blood flow. This effect is beneficial to accelerating the repair of damaged tissues.

[0003] As disclosed in the authorization announcement number CN221845487U, a reflective acupuncture needle includes a reflective head, a needle sleeve, a needle body, and a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes a connecting post, a compression arc block, a limiting block, a sliding rod, a pull block, and a return spring. The needle sleeve has a cavity, which is L-shaped. The connecting post is inserted into the needle sleeve, and the reflective head is fixedly connected to the connecting post. The connecting post has a fixing hole. The limiting block is slidably connected to the needle sleeve and located inside the cavity. The compression arc block is fixedly connected to the limiting block and is adapted to the fixing hole. The sliding rod is fixedly connected to the limiting block and passes through the cavity. The sliding rod is movably connected to the needle sleeve. The pull block is fixedly connected to the sliding rod and located at the end of the sliding rod away from the limiting block. The two ends of the return spring are fixedly connected to the needle sleeve and the limiting block, respectively, and are sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding rod. Although this design facilitates the installation and removal of the reflective head and the needle sleeve, it is easy to operate.

[0004] However, this does not solve the problem that existing acupuncture needles of this type are generally not convenient to retract and store during use. The exposed surface of the reflective acupuncture needles can easily cause punctures, making it difficult to find them easily. This greatly affects the stability of the reflective acupuncture needles, and they are prone to slipping when held. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a reflective acupuncture needle to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inconvenience of retracting and storing acupuncture needles, the easy occurrence of puncture wounds due to the exposed exterior of reflective acupuncture needles, the difficulty in finding reflective acupuncture needles, the impact on the stability of reflective acupuncture needles, and the tendency for reflective acupuncture needles to slip when held.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A reflective acupuncture needle includes a protective sleeve and an extended acupuncture needle. The extended acupuncture needle is installed at the center of the protective sleeve and is slidably connected to the protective sleeve. An adapter buckle is installed at one end of the protective sleeve, and a reflective prism block is installed at the end of the adapter buckle away from the protective sleeve. An extended spring is fitted on the surface of the extended acupuncture needle. A rear sleeve is fitted on the surface of the extended acupuncture needle on one side of the extended spring, and a front sleeve is fitted on the surface of the extended acupuncture needle on the other side of the extended spring. A central groove is provided on the outer wall of the protective sleeve on one side of the extended acupuncture needle, a front retaining groove is provided on the outer wall of the protective sleeve on one side of the central groove, and a rear retaining groove is provided on the outer wall of the protective sleeve on the other side of the central groove.

[0008] Optionally, the rear sleeve is slidably connected to the extended acupuncture needle, and the rear sleeve is fixedly connected to the protective sleeve.

[0009] Optionally, the front sleeve is fixedly connected to the extended acupuncture needle, and the front sleeve is slidably connected to the protective sleeve.

[0010] Optionally, one end of the extended spring is connected to the front sleeve, and the other end of the extended spring is connected to the rear sleeve.

[0011] Optionally, one end of the extended acupuncture needle is fitted with a handle, and the top of the handle is fitted with a grip.

[0012] Optionally, a limiting washer is installed at the end of the protective sleeve away from the adapter buckle, and a tapered spring steel clip is fitted on the surface of the extended acupuncture needle on one side of the limiting washer.

[0013] Optionally, a support block is installed at one end of the tapered spring steel clamp, and a central annular groove is provided between the tapered spring steel clamp and the support block.

[0014] Optionally, a limiting ring is fitted on the surface of the central annular groove, a connecting arm is installed at the top of the limiting ring, and an external thread is provided on the outer wall of the protective sleeve on one side of the limiting washer.

[0015] Optionally, the external thread is threaded with a threaded sleeve, and the threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the connecting arm.

[0016] Optionally, an anti-slip sleeve is provided on the outer wall of the protective sleeve, and the anti-slip sleeve is fixedly connected to the protective sleeve. Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: this acupuncture needle not only realizes the convenient telescopic storage of the reflective acupuncture needle, avoiding the exposure of the reflective acupuncture needle and causing puncture injuries, and facilitating the easy retrieval of the reflective acupuncture needle, but also increases the stability of the reflective acupuncture needle, preventing it from slipping when held.

[0017] By manually rotating the handle and locking lever, the locking lever disengages from the front locking slot and engages with the rear locking slot under the sliding limit of the middle slot, facilitating the ejection of the extended acupuncture needle. When the extended acupuncture needle needs to be repositioned for storage, the locking lever is slid out from the rear locking slot. The protective sleeve supports the extended spring through the rear sleeve, and the extended acupuncture needle slides inside the rear sleeve. Under the elastic reset of the extended spring, the extended spring moves the locking lever through the front sleeve, and the locking lever engages with the front locking slot for storage. The reflective prism block serves a reflective function, enabling convenient telescopic storage of the reflective acupuncture needle, preventing the needle from being exposed and causing punctures, and facilitating easy retrieval of the reflective acupuncture needle.

[0018] By manually rotating the connecting arm, the threaded sleeve, connecting arm, and limiting ring are driven to move under the cooperation of the threaded sleeve and the external thread. Under the cooperation of the limiting ring and the middle ring groove, the conical spring steel chuck and the support block are driven to move laterally. Under the sliding connection between the conical spring steel chuck and the limiting washer, the conical spring steel chuck undergoes elastic deformation. The conical spring steel chuck enters the protective sleeve and simultaneously presses and fixes the extended acupuncture needle, so as to facilitate the relative fixation between the protective sleeve and the front slot. The anti-slip sleeve increases the friction to prevent the reflective acupuncture needle from slipping when held. This achieves convenient elastic pressing and fixing of the reflective acupuncture needle, increases the stability of the reflective acupuncture needle, and avoids slipping when holding the reflective acupuncture needle.
