[0031] The needle mounting assembly includes a mounting sleeve 18, a mounting frame 19, a top connector 20, and a fixing clip 26. The mounting sleeve 18 is slidably connected to a connecting rod 17 on its inner side. The bottom of the mounting frame 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting sleeve 18. Multiple fixing clips 26 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting frame 19. One side of the acupuncture needle 27 is fixedly connected to the fixing clip 26. The fixing clip 26 is divided into upper and lower parts, both of which are made of rubber. The top connector 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 19.

[0032] When in use, the acupuncture needle 27 can be installed in the fixing clip 26. After being locked in, it can prevent the acupuncture needle 27 from being thrown out and slipping off when rotating with the mounting bracket 19.

[0033] Then, start the rotary motor 13. The drive gear ring 21 on one side can drive the upper rotary bracket 12 to rotate. At this time, the self-rotating gear 22 below the rotating rod 16 that rotates with the rotating bracket 12 will rotate due to meshing with the middle fixed gear 23. This allows the upper mounting bracket 19 to rotate on its own axis while revolving around the central axis, so that the multiple acupuncture needles 27 installed on the outside can evenly receive the alcohol and gas sprayed from the middle spray nozzle 24 and air nozzle 25; making disinfection and drying more uniform.

[0034] When it is necessary to remove the acupuncture needle 27, the mounting rod 18 can be pulled upwards directly to remove the entire mounting bracket 19, making it convenient to put in and take out the acupuncture needle 27.

The air pump 8 can spray air through the air nozzle 25 to disinfect the acupuncture needles 27 after disinfection. The air pump 8 is equipped with a filter cotton at the air inlet for dust filtration.

[0037] In this embodiment, a recycling sleeve 11 is fixedly connected below the central fixing frame 14, and multiple drainage holes 15 are opened on one side of the central fixing frame 14. A waste liquid box 10 is fixedly connected below the recycling sleeve 11, a rotary motor 13 is fixedly connected above the waste liquid box 10, and the waste liquid box 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 1.

[0038] The recovery sleeve 11 is a ring-shaped pipe. The top of the rotating bracket 12 is higher on the outer side and lower on the inner side. It can guide the sprayed alcohol into the drain hole 15 located above the middle fixed frame 14, and then flow from the recovery sleeve 11 into the waste liquid box 10 for storage. The outlet on one side of the waste liquid box 10 can be opened for cleaning and discharge.

[0039] In this embodiment: When in use, the acupuncture needle 27 can be installed in the fixing clip 26. After being inserted, it can prevent the acupuncture needle 27 from being thrown out and slipping when rotating with the mounting frame 19.

[0040] Then, start the rotary motor 13. The drive gear ring 21 on one side can drive the upper rotary bracket 12 to rotate. At this time, the self-rotating gear 22 below the rotating rod 16 that rotates with the rotating bracket 12 will rotate due to meshing with the middle fixed gear 23. This allows the upper mounting bracket 19 to rotate on its own axis while revolving around the central axis, so that the multiple acupuncture needles 27 installed on the outside can evenly receive the alcohol and gas sprayed from the middle spray nozzle 24 and air nozzle 25; making disinfection and drying more uniform.

[0041] When it is necessary to remove the acupuncture needle 27, the mounting sleeve 18 can be pulled up directly to remove the entire mounting bracket 19, making it convenient to put in and take out the acupuncture needle 27.

[0042] The water pump 7 can pump out the stored alcohol from the liquid box 6 and spray it out from the spray nozzle 24 for disinfection. The air pump 8 can spray air through the air nozzle 25 to disinfect the acupuncture needles 27 after disinfection. The air pump 8 is equipped with a filter cotton at the air inlet for dust filtration.

[0043] The recovery sleeve 11 is a ring-shaped pipe. The top of the rotating bracket 12 is higher on the outer side and lower on the inner side. It can guide the sprayed alcohol into the drain hole 15 located above the middle fixed frame 14, and then flow from the recovery sleeve 11 into the waste liquid box 10 for storage. The outlet on one side of the waste liquid box 10 can be opened for cleaning and discharge.

[0044] Example 2:

[0045] An acupuncture needle sterilization and storage device is provided in this embodiment, which is based on embodiment 1 with the following improvements, such as... Figure 1-6 As shown,

[0046] In this embodiment, a rotating cover 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the protective shell 1, and a plurality of mating collars 5 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating cover 2. The mating collars 5 are rotatably connected to the top mating joint 20.

[0047] The mating collar 5 can secure the top mating joint 20 to prevent the mounting bracket 19 from wobbling during rotation;

[0048] The rotating cover 2 has an opening on one side, and a filter material 3 is fixedly connected above the opening. The filter material 3 can prevent the gas discharged from the device from containing a large number of alcohol particles, thus preventing pollution of the working environment.

[0049] A pick-and-place support frame 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the protective shell 1. The pick-and-place support frame 4 matches the internal slot of the mounting sleeve 18. When picking up or placing the acupuncture needle 27 onto the mounting frame 19 taken out of the device, the mounting sleeve 18 below the removed mounting frame 19 can be installed above the pick-and-place support frame 4 to facilitate the picking up or placing of the acupuncture needle 27.
