[0005] However, in actual use, existing needle finders lack lighting, which is particularly inconvenient in environments with insufficient light or narrow spaces. Because the position of the needle cannot be clearly seen, the operator has to frequently move the needle finder to locate the target, which not only reduces work efficiency but also increases user fatigue. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an operating room nursing needle finder that has the advantage of illumination, solving the problem that existing needle finders lack illumination, which is particularly inconvenient in environments with insufficient light or narrow spaces. Because the position of the needle cannot be clearly seen, the operator has to frequently move the needle finder to locate the target.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an operating room nursing needle finder, comprising a movable base, a flip frame, an electric disk, and a mobile power supply. The flip frame is movably connected to the top of the movable base via a hinge. The electric disk is fixedly installed inside the flip frame. The mobile power supply is fixedly installed on the rear side of the top of the flip frame. The electric disk is electrically connected to the mobile power supply via a wire. A green light is provided on the front side of the bottom of the movable base. The light source radiating surface of the green light is fan-shaped. Clamping and fixing components are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the front side of the bottom of the movable base.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the clamping and mounting fixing assembly includes a support block, which is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the front side of the bottom of the movable seat. A bidirectional lead screw is movably connected inside the support block, and movable blocks are threadedly connected to the left and right sides of the surface of the bidirectional lead screw. A clamping block is fixedly connected to the front of the movable block, and the green light is located inside the clamping block.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner side of the clamping block is provided with an installation groove, the installation groove is arc-shaped, and the installation groove is adapted to a green light.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a limiting rod is slidably connected to the top of the moving block, and the left and right sides of the limiting rod are fixedly connected to the moving seat.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a protective pad is pasted inside the mounting groove, and the protective pad is made of foam.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a rotating block is fixedly installed at the right end of the bidirectional lead screw by bolts. The diameter of the rotating block is larger than the diameter of the bidirectional lead screw, and the rotating block is made of natural rubber.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the surface of the rotating block is provided with anti-slip textures, and the anti-slip textures are provided in a plurality of shapes and are distributed in a ring at equal intervals.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. This utility model incorporates a green light. When the operator turns on the green light, it emits a light source onto the ground. The green light casts shadows on the ground protrusions, allowing the operator to observe the presence of needles. This enables the operator to clearly see tiny needles on the ground, solving the problem of existing needle finders lacking illumination, which is particularly inconvenient in low-light or confined spaces. Because the location of the needle cannot be clearly seen, the operator has to frequently move the needle finder to locate the target, thus achieving the effect of illumination.

[0016] 2. This utility model, by setting up a clamping and fixing component, allows the operator to place the green light inside the clamping block when installing it. The operator then turns the double-acting screw, which rotates under the support of the support block. The rotating screw drives the moving block to move, which in turn moves the clamping frame closer together, thus clamping and fixing the green light, ensuring the operator's convenience in installing the green light.

[0017] 3. This utility model features an installation slot whose shape matches the green light. When the green light is placed in the installation slot, its arc design allows it to fit snugly against the shape of the green light, providing stable support and protection. The arc-shaped installation slot also makes it easier to insert and remove the green light, improving the convenience of use and ease of maintenance. 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] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the present invention provides an operating room nursing needle finder, including a movable base 1, a flip frame 2, a magnetic disk 3, and a mobile power supply 4. The flip frame 2 is movably connected to the top of the movable base 1 by a hinge. The magnetic disk 3 is fixedly installed inside the flip frame 2. The mobile power supply 4 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the top of the flip frame 2. The magnetic disk 3 is electrically connected to the mobile power supply 4 through a wire. A green light 5 is provided on the front side of the bottom of the movable base 1. The light source radiation surface of the green light 5 is fan-shaped. Clamping and mounting fixing components 6 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the front side of the bottom of the movable base 1.

[0024] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The clamping and mounting fixing assembly 6 includes a support block 61, which is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom front side of the movable seat 1. A bidirectional lead screw 62 is movably connected inside the support block 61. Movable blocks 63 are threadedly connected to the left and right sides of the surface of the bidirectional lead screw 62. A clamping block 64 is fixedly connected to the front of the movable block 63. A green light 5 is located inside the clamping block 64.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up a clamping and fixing component 6, when the operator needs to install the green light 5, the operator places the green light 5 inside the clamping block 64, and then the operator turns the bidirectional screw 62. The bidirectional screw 62 rotates under the support of the support block 61. The rotating bidirectional screw 62 drives the moving block 63 to move, and the moving block 63 drives the clamping frame to move closer to each other, so that the clamping block 64 clamps and fixes the green light 5, thereby ensuring the convenience of the operator to install the green light 5.

[0026] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The clamping block 64 has an installation groove 7 on its inner side. The installation groove 7 is arc-shaped and is adapted to the green light 5.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting an installation groove 7, the shape of the installation groove 7 matches the green light 5. When the green light 5 is placed into the installation groove 7, due to its arc design, it can closely fit the shape of the green light 5, thereby providing stable support and protection. The arc-shaped installation groove 7 can also make it easier to insert and remove the green light 5, improving the convenience of use and the ease of maintenance.

[0028] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The top of the movable block 63 is slidably connected to a limiting rod 8, and the left and right sides of the limiting rod 8 are fixedly connected to the movable seat 1.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a limiting rod 8, when the bidirectional lead screw 62 drives the moving block 63 to move, the moving block 63 will move on the surface of the limiting block, thereby limiting the movement of the moving block 63 by the limiting rod 8, and preventing the moving block 63 from rotating due to the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 62.

[0030] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inside of the mounting slot 7 is fitted with a protective pad 9, which is made of foam.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a protective pad 9, when the green light 5 is placed into the mounting groove 7, the foam protective pad 9 can play a buffering role, reducing the pressure and friction caused by direct contact. Even if a slight collision or vibration occurs during use, the foam can absorb most of the energy, protecting the safety of the green light 5.

[0032] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A rotating block 10 is fixedly installed on the right end of the bidirectional lead screw 62 by bolts. The diameter of the rotating block 10 is larger than the diameter of the bidirectional lead screw 62, and the material of the rotating block 10 is natural rubber.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a rotating block 10, which acts as a handle to increase friction, the user can easily rotate the bidirectional lead screw 62. The natural rubber material provides additional gripping force, reduces the possibility of hand slippage, and also increases the comfort of operation.

[0034] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The surface of the rotating block 10 is provided with anti-slip textures 11, and there are several anti-slip textures 11 distributed in a ring at equal intervals.

[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting anti-slip texture 11, the surface roughness of the rotating block 10 is increased to improve friction, so that the rotating block 10 can maintain a good grip even in a wet or oily environment. The annularly distributed anti-slip texture 11 can evenly distribute pressure and avoid excessive local wear.

[0036] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When the operator needs to perform needle finding operations in poor lighting conditions, the operator first needs to install the green light 5. The operator places the green light 5 between the two clamping blocks 64, and then the operator rotates the bidirectional lead screw 62 by rotating the rotating block 10. The rotating block 10 is made of natural rubber to provide a comfortable grip for the operator. After rotation, the bidirectional lead screw 62 will rotate under the support of the support block 61. The rotating bidirectional lead screw 62 will drive the moving block 63 to move. The moving block 63 will move linearly by being limited by the limiting rod 8, thereby causing the moving block 63 to drive the clamping frames to move closer together, so that the clamping blocks 64 are aligned with the green light. The lamp 5 is clamped and fixed. The inner side of the clamping block 64 is provided with an installation groove 7. The shape of the installation groove 7 matches the green lamp 5. When the green lamp 5 is placed into the installation groove 7, due to its arc design, it can fit tightly with the shape of the green lamp 5, thereby providing stable support and protection, thus completing the installation of the green lamp 5. After installation, the operator turns on the green lamp 5, so that the green lamp 5 emits a light source to the ground. The green light will illuminate the ground protrusions and cast shadows. The operator can observe whether there are needles by the illuminated shadows, so that the operator can clearly see the tiny needles on the ground. This makes it convenient for the operator to push the moving base 1 to drive the electric disk 3 to perform needle finding work, improving the convenience and efficiency of the operator in finding needles.

[0037] In summary, this operating room needle finder, by incorporating a green light 5, allows the operator to illuminate the ground. The green light casts shadows on raised areas of the ground, enabling the operator to clearly see the presence of needles. This solves the problem of existing needle finders lacking illumination, which is particularly inconvenient in poorly lit or confined spaces. Because the location of needles cannot be clearly seen, operators often have to frequently move the needle finder to locate them.
