Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a needle finder for use in operating room nursing operations. Background Technology
[0002] Medical suture needles are a type of suture needle used in hospitals, primarily for surgical suturing. They are mostly made of stainless steel wire with holes drilled or grooved at the end. The surface is polished and electrolytically treated to ensure a very smooth finish. Needle types are categorized according to actual needs, such as round needles, angled needles, spade needles, and straight needles. The curvature is also categorized according to actual needs, such as 1 / 2 and 3 / 8. The manufacturing process is very complex, making it a high-tech product. The fine drilling even utilizes laser drilling technology.
[0003] In clinical surgery, suturing is usually required. If the suture needle falls to the ground after suturing is completed, it is not easy to find because of its small size. If all the medical instruments used in the operation cannot be counted and collected, it will not only pollute the environment of the operating room, but may even cause accidents in serious cases.
[0004] In operating room nursing, sharp instruments are usually collected by visual inspection and cleaning. However, it is inconvenient to find sharp instruments in the corners of the operating room, under the operating table, and under the cabinets. In addition, some needle finders require removing the needles one by one from the magnet after collecting them, which is extremely inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention addresses the inconvenience of finding sharp objects in corners, at the bottom of the operating table, and at the bottom of cabinets within the operating room, as well as the inconvenience of removing each needle individually from a magnet after collecting them using some needle finders. Therefore, this invention provides a needle finder for use in operating room nursing procedures.
[0006] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solutions:
[0007] This utility model provides a needle finder for operating room nursing operations, including a housing and a movable groove, the movable groove being formed at the bottom of the housing, and further comprising:
[0008] A movable frame, which is slidably connected to the inside of the movable slot;
[0009] A needle-finding assembly, wherein the needle-finding assembly is disposed inside the active frame;
[0010] An adjustment component is disposed between the top of the movable frame and the inner wall of the housing;
[0011] A connecting seat, which is fixedly connected to the top end of the housing;
[0012] A fixing rod is provided on the top of the connecting seat.
[0013] In this technical solution, the needle-finding component facilitates the rapid adsorption of needles and sharp objects, and also facilitates the removal of the needles after collection. The adjustable component allows the needle-finding component to be easily moved to corners of the operating room, the bottom of the operating table, and the bottom of the cabinet, making it convenient to locate needles and sharp objects.
[0014] Preferably, guide rods are fixedly connected to both outer walls of the movable frame, the guide rods are slidably connected inside the guide groove, the guide groove is opened on both sides inside the movable groove, and casters are installed at the bottom of the housing.
[0015] In this technical solution, the guide rod and guide groove facilitate the smooth movement of the movable frame out of the movable groove, making it convenient for needle finding.
[0016] Preferably, the needle-finding assembly includes a first motor, a bidirectional lead screw, a movable seat, a connecting rod, a movable plate, a magnet plate, a mesh, and a guide rail.

[0040] Specifically, the needle-finding component 4 facilitates the rapid adsorption of needles and sharp objects, and also makes it easy to remove the needles after they have been collected. The adjustable component 5 allows the needle-finding component 4 to be moved to corners of the operating room, the bottom of the operating table, and the bottom of the cabinet, making it easier to find needles and sharp objects.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, guide rods 31 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both ends of the movable frame 3. The guide rods 31 are slidably connected inside the guide groove 32. The guide groove 32 is opened on both sides inside the movable groove 2. A caster wheel 33 is installed at the bottom of the housing 1.
[0042] Specifically, the guide rod 31 and guide groove 32 facilitate the smooth movement of the movable frame 3 out of the movable groove 2, making it convenient for needle finding.
[0043] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the needle-finding assembly 4 includes a first motor 41, a bidirectional lead screw 42, a movable seat 43, a connecting rod 44, a movable plate 45, a magnet plate 46, a mesh 47, and a guide rail 48. The first motor 41 is installed on the outer wall of the movable frame 3. The bidirectional lead screw 42 is rotatably connected to the inside of the movable frame 3. There are two movable seats 43, which are threadedly connected to the two ends of the bidirectional lead screw 42. The movable plate 45 is slidably connected to the inside of the movable frame 3. The two ends of the connecting rod 44 are rotatably connected to the movable seat 43 and the movable plate 45, respectively. The magnet is installed at the bottom end of the movable plate 45.

[0044] Specifically, by starting the first motor 41, the first motor 41 drives the bidirectional lead screw 42 to rotate. The bidirectional lead screw 42 drives the two movable seats 43 to move and move closer to each other. The movable seats 43 move along the guide rail 48 and push the movable plate 45 down through the connecting rod 44. The movable plate 45 slides down along the movable frame 3. The movable plate 45 drives the magnet plate 46 down and presses against one side of the partition 47. The magnet plate 46 attracts the needles on the ground to the partition 47 through strong magnetism. Starting the first motor 41 reverses the direction, causing the bidirectional lead screw 42 to reverse the direction. The two movable seats 43 move away from each other. The movable seats 43 drive the movable plate 45 and the magnet plate 46 to move up through the connecting rod 44. The magnet plate 46 loses contact with the partition 47. After the magnetism of the magnet plate 46 weakens, the needles on one side of the partition 47 fall off, making it convenient to remove the needles.
[0045] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the adjustment assembly 5 includes a second motor 51, a movable block 52, an adjustment groove 53, and a screw 54. The movable groove 52 is opened inside the housing 1. The second motor 51 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the adjustment groove 53.

[0051] The operating principle of this application is as follows: When in use, the first motor 41 is started, driving the bidirectional lead screw 42 to rotate. The bidirectional lead screw 42 drives two movable seats 43 to move closer to each other. The movable seats 43 move along the guide rail 48 and push the movable plate 45 downwards via the connecting rod 44. The movable plate 45 slides downwards along the movable frame 3, causing the magnetic plate 46 to move downwards and press against one side of the mesh 47. The magnetic plate 46 uses strong magnetism to attract needles from the ground to the mesh 47. When encountering a narrow space under a bed or cabinet, the handle 75, adjusting rod 72, fixing rod 7, and connecting seat 6 push the housing 1 to move to one side of the bed or cabinet under the action of four universal wheels 33. The second motor 51 is then started, driving the screw 54 to rotate. The screw 54 rotates threadedly with the movable block 52. The movable block 52 moves along the movable groove 2 under the action of the screw 54. The movable block 52 drives the movable frame 3 to move out of the movable groove 2. The movable frame 3 moves smoothly out along the guide groove 32 through the guide rod 31, so that the movable block 52 drives the movable frame 3 to move to the bottom of the bed or cabinet, which is convenient for adsorbing needles that have fallen to the bottom of the bed or cabinet, making them easy to find and use. When retrieving needles, the first motor 41 is started and reversed, causing the bidirectional lead screw 42 to reverse. The two movable seats 43 move away from each other. The movable seats 43 drive the movable plate 45 and the magnetic plate 46 to move upward through the connecting rod 44. The magnetic plate 46 loses contact with the partition 47. After the magnetism of the magnetic plate 46 weakens, the needle on one side of the partition 47 falls off, making it easy to retrieve the needle. The positions of the fixed rod 7 and the adjusting rod 72 can be easily adjusted by the setting adjusting bolt 74 and adjusting hole 73, which is convenient for operators.
