Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acupuncture and physiotherapy technology, and in particular to a quick-release structure for an acupuncture box used in intelligent acupuncture robots. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of intelligent acupuncture therapy, acupuncture needles need to be frequently disinfected and replaced. Currently, acupuncture robots typically require manual installation of a single needle at the end, which is cumbersome and involves repeated disassembly and reassembly. Some robots can automate the needle retrieval process. However, when multiple needles are needed for acupuncture, an acupuncture box is required to hold them. Currently, acupuncture therapy robots generally do not have acupuncture boxes, and even those that do are difficult to adapt to scenarios where multiple needles need to be frequently replaced. To accommodate applications with a large number of needles that require frequent replacement, the acupuncture box needs to be quick-disassembly and replacement. However, currently, most acupuncture robot boxes do not have quick-disassembly functionality.

[0003] Therefore, there are still shortcomings and deficiencies in the existing technology. How to provide a quick-release structure for the acupuncture box for intelligent acupuncture robots is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quick-release structure for an acupuncture box in an intelligent acupuncture robot, which solves the technical problems of existing acupuncture and physiotherapy robots not having an acupuncture box or having inconvenient quick disassembly and replacement of the acupuncture box.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a quick-release structure for an acupuncture box used in an intelligent acupuncture robot, comprising:

[0006] The placement seat includes a base plate and two limiting members symmetrically disposed on the base plate. A limiting groove is formed between the limiting members and the base plate. The base plate is also provided with a stop block located between the two limiting members.

[0007] An acupuncture box includes a lower cover and an upper cover connected to the lower cover. The upper cover has multiple insertion holes for inserting acupuncture needles. A sponge is provided between the lower cover and the upper cover. Several limiting blocks are provided on both sides of the lower cover. The limiting blocks on both sides of the lower cover are respectively inserted into the limiting grooves formed by the two limiting members and the bottom plate.

[0008] A locking element is used to secure the acupuncture box to the placement base;

[0009] When the acupuncture box is fixed to the placement seat, one side of the acupuncture box abuts against the stop block to position the acupuncture box.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting member has a right-angle bent structure.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting member has a chamfer on the side away from the stop block.

[0012] Preferably, one of the limiting members is fixedly provided with a mounting block, the mounting block is provided with a mounting hole, and a hexagonal nut is provided in the mounting hole.

[0013] Preferably, the locking element includes:

[0014] A sleeve is provided with an external thread, and the sleeve is threadedly connected to the hexagonal nut through the external thread;

[0015] A cylindrical pin, which is slidably connected to the sleeve;

[0016] The operating end is located at the end of the sleeve away from the cylindrical pin, and the operating end is connected to the cylindrical pin by a spring.

[0031] 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.

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] This utility model provides a quick-release structure for an acupuncture box for an intelligent acupuncture robot. The acupuncture box 2 is always inserted into the same position, ensuring accurate positioning. The acupuncture box 2 is locked and unlocked by the locking component 3, making it easy to replace.

[0034] Please refer to this as well. Figures 1 to 6 The quick-release structure of the acupuncture box for intelligent acupuncture robots provided by this utility model includes:

[0035] Placement seat 1 includes a base plate 11 and two limiting members 12 symmetrically arranged on the base plate 11. A limiting groove 13 is formed between the limiting members 12 and the base plate 11. The base plate 11 is also provided with a stop block 14 located between the two limiting members 12.

[0036] The acupuncture box 2 includes a lower cover 21 and an upper cover 22 connected to the lower cover 21. The upper cover 22 is provided with a plurality of insertion holes 221 for inserting acupuncture needles. A sponge 23 is provided between the lower cover 21 and the upper cover 22. A plurality of limiting blocks 211 are provided on both sides of the lower cover 21. The limiting blocks 211 on both sides of the lower cover 21 are respectively inserted into the limiting grooves 13 formed by the two limiting members 12 and the bottom plate 11.

[0037] Locking element 3 is used to fix the acupuncture box 2 to the placement base 1;

[0038] When the acupuncture box 2 is fixed to the placement seat 1, one side of the acupuncture box 2 abuts against the stop block 14 to position the acupuncture box 2.

[0039] The acupuncture needle is inserted through the insertion hole 221 of the upper cover 22, and then inserted downwards into the high-density sponge 23 inside the acupuncture box 2. The high-density sponge 23 fixes the acupuncture needle, so that the gripper of the acupuncture robot can pick up the acupuncture needle for operation. The upper cover 22 and the lower cover 21 can be connected by a snap-fit ​​structure. For example, one of them has a flange and the other has a corresponding groove. The connection between the upper cover 22 and the lower cover 21 is achieved by the snap-fit ​​between the flange and the groove.

[0040] The placement base 1 is fixedly installed. The acupuncture box 2 is inserted into the limiting groove 13 formed by the limiting member 12 and the base plate 11 of the placement base 1 through the limiting blocks 211 on both sides. As the limiting blocks 211 slide along the limiting groove 13, one side of the acupuncture box 2 abuts against the stop block 14 between the two limiting members 12, thereby positioning the acupuncture box 2 and ensuring that the acupuncture box 2 is positioned in the same position each time it is inserted. This facilitates the acupuncture robot to accurately grasp acupuncture needles at various positions of the acupuncture box 2 or place acupuncture needles in the acupuncture box 2. After positioning, the locking member 3 locks the acupuncture box 2, reliably fixing it to the placement base 1. When the acupuncture box 2 needs to be replaced, first unlock the locking member 3, and the acupuncture box 2 can be disengaged from the limiting groove 13 through the limiting blocks 211 on both sides, separating the acupuncture box 2 from the placement base 1. Then, the new acupuncture box 2 is installed on the placement base 1 and locked.

[0041] This design allows the acupuncture therapy robot to quickly replace the acupuncture box 2, enabling the use of more types and quantities of acupuncture needles during the acupuncture process. This increases the expandability of the acupuncture therapy function and the ease of operation for complex acupuncture procedures, while also facilitating the replacement and sterilization of acupuncture needles.

[0042] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 The limiting component 12 has a right-angle bent structure.

[0043] Specifically, the limiting member 12 has an L-shaped structure. One side of the limiting member 12 is fixedly connected to the base plate 11. The limiting blocks 211 on both sides of the lower cover 21 of the acupuncture box 2 can be inserted into the limiting grooves 13 formed by the two limiting members 12 and the base plate 11 respectively. The limiting grooves 13 allow the acupuncture box 2 to move only along the extension direction of the limiting member 12, preventing the acupuncture box 2 from moving in other directions.

[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 The limiting member 12 has a chamfer 121 on the side away from the stop block 14. By setting the chamfer 121, it is easy for the limiting block 211 of the acupuncture box 2 to be inserted into the limiting groove 13 formed by the limiting member 12 and the bottom plate 11.

[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 One of the limiting components 12 is fixedly provided with a mounting block 4, the mounting block 4 is provided with a mounting hole 41, and a hexagonal nut 42 is provided in the mounting hole 41.

[0046] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 Locking component 3 includes:

[0047] Sleeve 31 is provided with external thread, and sleeve 31 is threadedly connected to hexagonal nut 42 through external thread;

[0048] Cylindrical pin 32, which is slidably connected to sleeve 31;

[0049] The operating end 33 is located at the end of the sleeve 31 away from the cylindrical pin 32, and the operating end 33 is connected to the cylindrical pin 32 by a spring.

[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 The lower cover 21 has a positioning pin hole 212 on its side for inserting the cylindrical pin 32.

[0051] The sleeve 31 of the locking member 3 is connected to the hexagonal nut 42 on the mounting block 4, thereby fixing the locking member 3 on the mounting block 4. The cylindrical pin 32 at the end of the locking member 3 can be inserted into the positioning pin hole 212 on the side of the lower cover 21 of the acupuncture box 2, thereby achieving locking and reliably fixing the acupuncture box 2 on the placement seat 1. When a new acupuncture box 2 needs to be replaced, the operating end 33 is pulled outward. The operating end 33 drives the cylindrical pin 32 to slide in the sleeve 31 through the spring. The cylindrical pin 32 disengages from the positioning pin hole 212. After the operating end 33 is rotated 90°, it is released. The operating end 33 can abut against the sleeve 31, keeping the cylindrical pin 32 in a retracted state. At this time, the acupuncture box 2 can be easily disengaged from the limiting groove 13 through the limiting block 211, realizing the separation of the acupuncture box 2 from the placement seat 1. After the new acupuncture box 2 is inserted into the limiting groove 13 through the limiting blocks 211 on both sides and installed in place, the operating end 33 is rotated 90° and then released. The operating end 33 no longer abuts against the sleeve 31. Under the action of the spring, the cylindrical pin 32 slides in the sleeve 31 and extends out again into the positioning pin hole 212, thereby locking and reliably fixing the acupuncture box 2 on the placement seat 1 so that the acupuncture robot can take the acupuncture needles in the acupuncture box 2 later.

[0052] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 The sleeve 31 is also threaded with a locking nut 311.

[0053] The locking nut 311 is threaded onto the outside of the sleeve 31. The locking nut 311 and the side of the mounting block 4 are used to fasten the locking member 3 to the mounting block 4.

[0054] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 The operating end 33 is provided with a plug 331 on the side near the sleeve 31, and the sleeve 31 is provided with a slot 312 for inserting the plug 331.

[0055] The number of inserts 331 is the same as the number of slots 312. In this embodiment, there are two inserts 331.

[0056] When the cylindrical pin 32 is inserted into the positioning pin hole 212, the two inserts 331 are respectively accommodated in the two slots 312. When a new acupuncture box 2 needs to be replaced, the operating end 33 is pulled outward, and the inserts 331 are disengaged from the slots 312. The operating end 33 drives the cylindrical pin 32 to slide in the sleeve 31 through the spring. The cylindrical pin 32 is disengaged from the positioning pin hole 212. After the operating end 33 is rotated 90°, it is released. The inserts 331 of the operating end 33 can abut against the end of the sleeve 31, so that the cylindrical pin 32 is kept in the retracted state. At this time, the acupuncture box 2 can be easily disengaged from the limiting groove 13 through the limiting block 211, realizing the separation of the acupuncture box 2 from the placement seat 1. After the new acupuncture box 2 is inserted into the limiting groove 13 through the limiting blocks 211 on both sides and installed in place, the operating end 33 is rotated 90° and then released. The insertion block 331 of the operating end 33 no longer abuts against the end of the sleeve 31. The insertion block 331 enters the slot 312. Under the action of the spring, the cylindrical pin 32 slides in the sleeve 31. The cylindrical pin 32 extends out again and enters the positioning pin hole 212, thereby achieving locking.

[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 There are four limit blocks 211, and the four limit blocks 211 are located at the four corners of the lower cover 21.

[0058] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 The upper cover 22 is provided with multiple placement cavities 222, and the insertion holes 221 are respectively provided in the placement cavities 222.

[0059] The quick-release structure for the acupuncture box of the present invention for the intelligent acupuncture robot ensures accurate positioning by setting the limiting component 12 and the stop block 14, so that the acupuncture box 2 is always inserted into the same position each time; the locking component 3 locks and unlocks the acupuncture box 2, making it easy to replace.

[0060] It should be noted that in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity from several other entities, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0061] This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this utility model. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
