Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acupuncture device technology, and in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture device. Background Technology

[0002] Acupuncture instruments are typically made of metal, with stainless steel being the most commonly used material. Stainless steel needles possess high strength and good toughness; their needles are straight and smooth, and they are heat-resistant, rust-proof, and resistant to chemical corrosion, thus enjoying widespread clinical application. Although needles made of other metals such as gold and silver needles have superior electrical and thermal conductivity compared to stainless steel needles, they are less commonly used clinically due to their thicker needles, lower strength and toughness, and higher cost. Iron needles and ordinary steel needles, due to their susceptibility to rust and poor elasticity, toughness, and durability, are rarely used except occasionally in magnetic acupuncture.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese patent document CN219921554U discloses a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture device, comprising a shell and a needle body. The needle body is located inside the shell, and a partition is fixedly connected between the two sides of the inner cavity of the shell. A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed at the top of the inner cavity of the shell, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder passes through the partition and extends to the bottom of the partition. A mounting base is fixedly connected to the end of the hydraulic cylinder extending to the bottom of the partition. The top of the needle body passes through the mounting base and extends into the interior of the mounting base. A liquid storage cavity is provided on one side of the inner shell. After use, the needle body can be sealed and stored in the acupuncture device. The acupuncture device features a sterilization process for storage. Before use, the needles are disinfected, and the sterilized needles retain a certain temperature, significantly improving cleanliness and preventing bacterial contamination during storage. This results in less irritation for patients and increased comfort. However, in practical applications, the device has a significant design limitation: only one needle is housed within the casing, making it difficult to accommodate multiple needles simultaneously. This reduces ease of use. While adding a fixing structure inside the casing can accommodate multiple needles, the current method of needle removal is inconvenient. Specifically, users must open the casing to remove the needles, exposing all needles to the outside air and increasing the risk of contamination. Furthermore, we disclose a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture device to solve two major problems existing in the current acupuncture device: first, it only has a single needle inside, which cannot meet the needs of using multiple needles, resulting in insufficient ease of use; second, the needles need to be removed by opening the shell, which exposes all the needles inside to the outside air, increasing the risk of needle contamination. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture device to solve two major problems existing in the acupuncture device in the prior art: first, it is equipped with only a single needle body inside, which cannot meet the needs of using multiple needle bodies, resulting in insufficient convenience of use; second, the needle body needs to be removed by opening the shell cover, which exposes the internal needle body to the outside air, increasing the risk of needle body contamination.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture device, comprising a housing and a plurality of needles, all of which are disposed inside the housing. A ligature plate is installed at the lower end of the housing, and the lower end of each needle pierces the ligature plate and extends into the bottom of the housing. A housing cover is provided at the upper end of the housing, and a cover plate is rotatably connected to the upper end of the housing cover. A notch is provided on one side of the cover plate, and a plurality of through holes are evenly spaced on the housing cover. The number of through holes is the same as the number of needles. A lifting assembly is provided inside the housing, which is used to drive the needles upward and through the through holes to exit the housing cover.

[0006] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a rotating rod fixedly connected to the middle of the cover plate. A spline rod is slidably connected to the lower end of the rotating rod. A telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the upper end of the spline rod. The upper end of the telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the rotating rod. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the lower end of the spline rod. The lower end of the connecting rod passes through the binding plate and extends into the inner bottom of the housing. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the lower end of the outer wall of the connecting rod. A roller is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting plate away from the connecting rod. Multiple breaking guide plates are fixedly connected at even intervals to the outer side of the inner bottom surface of the housing. The number of breaking guide plates is the same as the number of needles. When the connecting plate rotates, it will drive the roller to roll on the upper surface of the breaking guide plate. An arc plate is fixedly connected to one side of the middle of the connecting plate. The arc plate is coaxial with the connecting rod, and the distance between the arc plate and the connecting rod is equal to the distance between the needle and the connecting rod.

[0007] Preferably, the lower end of the rotating rod is provided with a spline groove, and the rotating rod is slidably connected to the spline rod through the spline groove.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of sliding rods are slidably connected at even intervals on the outer side of the lower end of the connecting rod, and the lower ends of the plurality of sliding rods are fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the housing.

[0009] Preferably, a plurality of limiting rods are fixedly connected at even intervals on the upper end of the inner wall of the housing. The number of limiting rods is the same as the number of needles. The upper end of the outer wall of the needle is located inside the limiting rods. The limiting rods are used to limit the depth of the needle inserted into the ligature plate.

[0010] Preferably, a liquid inlet is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the housing at the lower end of the plate, and a threaded sleeve is connected to the external thread of the liquid inlet. An opening is provided in the middle of the lower end of the housing, and a plug is provided inside the opening.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture device has multiple needles inside its casing. Through its internal structure and lifting components, the operator can rotate the cover plate by turning the knob on the upper part of the cover plate, causing the notch to align with the through holes in different positions. Then, the lifting components can be used to remove the required needles from the casing, enabling flexible use of multiple needles. This multi-needle configuration avoids the hassle of frequently changing needles, greatly improving the efficiency and convenience of acupuncture treatment and meeting the needs of using multiple needles simultaneously in different treatment scenarios.

[0012] This traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture device features a needle removal design. When not in use, the notch does not align with the through hole, keeping the shell sealed and effectively preventing external contaminants from entering. When a needle is needed, the cover is rotated to align the notch with the through hole, allowing only the required needle to pass through the through hole and exit the cover. The other needles remain in the sealed environment inside the shell, preventing all needles from being exposed to the outside air. This needle removal method significantly reduces the risk of needle contamination, ensuring the safety and hygiene of acupuncture treatment. Attached Figure Description

[0018] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture device includes a housing 1 and a plurality of needles 14. The plurality of needles 14 are all disposed inside the housing 1. A ligature plate 13 is installed at the lower end of the housing 1. The lower end of the needle 14 pierces the ligature plate 13 and extends into the bottom of the housing 1. A housing cover 2 is provided at the upper end of the housing 1. A cover plate 3 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the housing cover 2. A notch 4 is provided on one side of the cover plate 3. A plurality of through holes 16 are evenly spaced on the housing cover 2. The number of through holes 16 is the same as the number of needles 14. A lifting component is provided inside the housing 1. The lifting component is used to drive the needles 14 to move upward and pass through the through holes 16 to exit the housing cover 2. This traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture device has many significant effects. In terms of ease of use, it is equipped with multiple needles 14. By rotating the knob on the cover plate 3 and utilizing the lifting component, the required needle 14 can be easily retrieved, avoiding frequent needle changes and improving treatment efficiency. Regarding hygiene and safety, the needle 14 retrieval method is optimized; when not in use, the shell 1 is sealed, and only the required needle 14 is exposed when retrieving it, reducing the risk of contamination. Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the lifting assembly includes a rotating rod 6 fixedly connected to the middle of the cover plate 3. A splined rod 8 is slidably connected to the lower end of the rotating rod 6. A telescopic spring 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the splined rod 8. The upper end of the telescopic spring 7 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 6. A connecting rod 9 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the splined rod 8. The lower end of the connecting rod 9 passes through the binding plate 13 and extends into the inner bottom of the housing 1. A connecting plate 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower end of the outer wall of the connecting rod 9. A roller 18 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting plate 11 away from the connecting rod 9. Multiple breaking guide plates 12 are evenly spaced and fixedly connected to the outer side of the inner bottom surface of the housing 1. The number of breaking guide plates 12 is the same as the number of needles 14. When the connecting plate 11 rotates, it will drive the roller 18 on the upper surface of the breaking guide plate 12. The connecting plate 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the middle section of the rolling plate 11. The arc plate 20 is coaxial with the connecting rod 9, and the distance between the arc plate 20 and the connecting rod 9 is equal to the distance between the needle body 14 and the connecting rod 9. The lower end of the rotating rod 6 is provided with a spline groove 19. The rotating rod 6 is slidably connected to the spline rod 8 through the spline groove 19. Multiple sliding rods 17 are evenly spaced and slidably connected to the outer side of the lower end of the connecting rod 9. The lower ends of the multiple sliding rods 17 are all fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the housing 1. Multiple limiting rods 15 are evenly spaced and fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner wall of the housing 1. The number of limiting rods 15 is the same as the number of needle bodies 14. The upper end of the outer wall of the needle body 14 is located inside the limiting rods 15. The limiting rods 15 are used to limit the depth of the needle body 14 inserted into the ligature plate 13. When needle 14 needs to be retrieved, the operator rotates the knob on the upper end of cover plate 3 to rotate cover plate 3. When cover plate 3 rotates, the position of notch 4 on it also rotates. Since cover plate 3 is connected to rotating rod 6, rotating rod 6 is slidably connected to spline rod 8 through spline groove 19, allowing spline rod 8 to slide up and down relative to rotating rod 6. At the same time, the extension spring 7 at the upper end of spline rod 8 is compressed or stretched, and connecting rod 9 connected to the lower end of spline rod 8 rotates accordingly. Connecting plate 11 at the lower end of connecting rod 9 also rotates. Rollers 18 on connecting plate 11 roll on the upper surface of breaking guide plate 12. Breaking guide plate 12 is evenly spaced and fixed on the outer side of the inner bottom surface of housing 1. The rolling of rollers 18 drives connecting plate 11 to make circular motion, thereby causing connecting rod 9 to move up and down. When rod 9 moves up and down, it will drive the arc plate 20 to move synchronously. Since the arc plate 20 is coaxial with the connecting rod 9 and the distance between the arc plate 20 and the connecting rod 9 is equal to the distance between the needle body 14 and the connecting rod 9, the arc plate 20 will push the needle body 14 to move upward during the movement. Under the restriction of the limiting rod 15, the needle body 14 slides upward along the limiting rod 15 and passes through the through hole 16 on the cover 2. At this time, the cover plate 3 rotates to a suitable position so that the notch 4 is exactly at the position of the through hole 16. The operator can easily take the needle body 14 through the notch 4. After use, the operator rotates the knob in the opposite direction to drive the cover plate 3 to rotate so that the notch 4 no longer coincides with the through hole 16, keeping the inside of the housing 1 sealed and preventing the needle body 14 from being contaminated.

[0019] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, a liquid inlet 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the housing 1 at the lower end of the clamping plate 13. A threaded sleeve is connected to the outside of the liquid inlet 5. An opening is provided in the middle of the lower end of the housing 1, and a plug 10 is provided inside the opening. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the housing 1, the cleaning operation can be carried out by opening the plug 10. After the operation is completed, the plug 10 should be reinstalled to ensure the airtightness of the housing 1.
