Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acupuncture needle detection, and more specifically, to an acupuncture needle body detection and sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Acupuncture needles generally consist of a needle body, a needle tip, and a needle handle. The front end of the needle body is the needle tip, and the rear end is the needle handle. The needle body and needle tip are smooth, while the needle handle is threaded. This is so that it can be lifted, inserted, and rotated during use. Acupuncture therapy, as a unique treatment and rehabilitation method in traditional Chinese medicine, holds a special position in clinical treatment.

[0003] Currently, acupuncture needles need to be tested for length before use. The existing method for testing the length of acupuncture needles is usually to measure them manually. This results in low efficiency for staff in testing acupuncture needles, as they need to use measuring tools to test the length of acupuncture needles one by one, which greatly increases the workload of staff and reduces the production speed of acupuncture needles. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an acupuncture needle body detection and sorting machine, which aims to improve the existing method of detecting the length of acupuncture needle bodies, which usually relies on manual measurement, resulting in low detection efficiency for acupuncture needle bodies.

[0024] Example

[0025] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an acupuncture needle body detection and sorting machine, including a workbench 100 and a sorting mechanism 200.

[0026] The sorting mechanism 200 is installed on the workbench 100. Through the sorting mechanism 200, acupuncture needles of different lengths can be detected and sorted, reducing the possibility that the detection efficiency of acupuncture needles by staff is low.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-2 A placement plate 110 is slidably disposed on the upper surface of the workbench 100, and a first placement groove 120 is formed on the upper surface of the placement plate 110;

[0028] In this embodiment, an electric cylinder 111 is installed inside the workbench 100. The movable end of the electric cylinder 111 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the placement plate 110. In specific implementation, the placement plate 110 and the support plate 260 are first aligned at the same height, and then the acupuncture needle body is placed in the first placement groove 120 of the placement plate 110 to support the acupuncture needle. After the length is measured, the electric cylinder 111 is activated to move the placement plate 110 upward, and the acupuncture needle body is no longer attached to the upper surface of the placement plate 110, making it easier to remove acupuncture needles of the correct length and acupuncture needles of shorter length.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-4 The sorting mechanism 200 includes a motor 210 and a connecting shaft 220. The motor 210 is mounted on the side of the worktable 100, and its output shaft is connected to the connecting shaft 220. Two rotating parts 230 are rotatably connected inside the worktable 100. Both rotating parts 230 are connected to the connecting shaft 220, and one end of each rotating part 230 is connected to a threaded rod 240. A moving block assembly 250 is threaded onto the surface of the threaded rod 240. A support plate 260 is connected to the side of the moving block assembly 250. A second placement groove 290 is formed on the upper surface of the support plate 260. A scale 130 is connected to the top of the worktable 100. A connecting frame 270 is connected to the surface of the moving block assembly 250 and slides on the surface of the scale 130. In specific implementation, by starting the motor 210, its output shaft drives the connecting shaft 220 to rotate, which in turn drives the two rotating parts 230 to rotate. When the moving part 230 rotates, the two rotating parts 230 will drive the corresponding threaded rod 240 to rotate, which will allow the two moving block groups 250 to move relative to or away from each other along the upper surface of the worktable 100. The two moving block groups 250 will drive the corresponding connecting frame 270 to move along the surface of the scale 130. By observing the scale 130, the distance between the two moving block groups 250 can be known. Here, according to the length of the qualified acupuncture needle, the distance between the two moving block groups 250 is adjusted to match the length of the qualified acupuncture needle body. The acupuncture needle to be tested is placed on the two support plates 260. The longer acupuncture needles cannot be placed and can be removed. The shorter and qualified acupuncture needles will be located between the two moving block groups 250. By activating the electric cylinder 111, it will drive the placement plate 110 to move upward, which makes it easier to take out the acupuncture needles of the correct length and the shorter acupuncture needles for sorting.

[0030] In this embodiment, two first synchronous pulleys 221 are connected to the surface of the connecting shaft 220. The two first synchronous pulleys 221 are connected to the corresponding rotating components 230 through a synchronous belt 280. A cavity 140 is provided inside the worktable 100. The connecting shaft 220, the two first synchronous pulleys 221, and the two rotating components 230 are all disposed in the cavity 140. In specific implementation, the first synchronous pulleys 221, the connecting shaft 220, and the rotating components 230 are disposed in the cavity 140 to reduce the possibility of wear caused by external influences on the first synchronous pulleys 221, the connecting shaft 220, and the rotating components 230.

[0031] The rotating component 230 includes a rotating shaft 231 and a second synchronous pulley 232. The rotating shaft 231 is rotatably connected inside the worktable 100 and is connected to the second synchronous pulley 232 and the threaded rod 240 respectively. The second synchronous pulley 232 is connected to the first synchronous pulley 221 via a synchronous belt 280. The movable block assembly 250 includes a movable block 251 and a connecting block 252. The movable block 251 is threaded onto the surface of the threaded rod 240 and is fixedly connected to the connecting block 252. The connecting block 252 is in contact with the upper surface of the worktable 100 and is fixedly connected to the support plate 260 and the connecting frame 270 respectively.

[0032] The upper surface of the workbench 100 has a groove 150. One end of the threaded rod 240 is attached to the side wall of the groove 150, and the movable block 251 is attached to the inner wall of the groove 150. In specific implementation, when the threaded rod 240 rotates, the movable block 251 can move along the inner wall of the groove 150, which helps to improve the stability of the connecting block 252 and the support plate 260 during the movement. Two fixing blocks 160 are installed on the upper surface of the workbench 100 by bolts. The two ends of the scale 130 are inserted into the corresponding fixing blocks 160 by positioning rods 131. In specific implementation, the fixing blocks 160 are first removed by unscrewing the bolts, so that the scale 130 can move laterally, making it easy to pull the scale 130 out of the connecting frame 270 for replacement.

[0033] A wear-resistant ring 271 is connected inside the connecting frame 270. The wear-resistant ring 271 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the scale 130. In specific implementation, when the connecting frame 270 moves along the surface of the scale 130, the wear-resistant ring 271 inside it will also move along the surface of the scale 130. This can reduce the possibility that the values ​​on the surface of the scale 130 will wear out during the long-term movement of the connecting frame 270 on the surface of the scale 130.

[0034] Specifically, the working principle of this acupuncture needle body detection and sorting machine is as follows: During use, starting the motor 210 causes its output shaft to drive the connecting shaft 220 to rotate, which in turn drives the two first synchronous pulleys 221 to rotate. The two first synchronous pulleys 221, via the synchronous belt 280, drive the second synchronous pulley 232 and the rotating shaft 231 to rotate, thereby driving the two threaded rods 240 to rotate. The two threaded rods 240 then drive the movable block 251 and the connecting block 252 to move along the surface of the worktable 100. Simultaneously, the connecting frame 270 on the connecting block 252 moves along the surface of the scale 130. By determining the length of the qualified acupuncture needle body, the distance between the two connecting blocks 252 is determined. After adjusting the length to match that of a qualified acupuncture needle, place the acupuncture needle to be tested onto the placement plate 110. Longer acupuncture needles cannot fit between the two connecting blocks 252, so they can be removed. Qualified and shorter acupuncture needles will enter the second placement slot 290 of the support plate 260 and the first placement slot 120 of the placement plate 110. Both ends of the qualified acupuncture needle will contact the two connecting blocks 252. By activating the electric cylinder 111, the placement plate 110 and the acupuncture needles will move upward, making it easier to remove and sort the qualified and shorter acupuncture needles, reducing the possibility of low efficiency in the acupuncture needle testing process.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
