Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acupuncture device technology, specifically to an acupuncture needle recycling box. Background Technology
[0002] Acupuncture is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine. The acupuncture needle is a crucial tool in the treatment process. Guided by traditional Chinese medicine theory, doctors insert the needles into the patient's body at specific angles, using techniques such as twisting and lifting to stimulate specific areas and treat diseases.
[0003] After acupuncture needles are used, they need to be returned to the inside of a recycling box. A conventional recycling box is a container, and the used acupuncture needles are placed directly into the box. Due to the large internal space of the box, the recycled acupuncture needles tend to tilt. When a large number of acupuncture needles tilt, they become tangled and intertwined, making it difficult to separate the stacked acupuncture needles during subsequent retrieval. Also, when the acupuncture needles in the recycling box are poured into the sharps box, the needle tips are facing upwards, which can easily prick and injure people. Therefore, we have proposed an acupuncture needle recycling box. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing acupuncture needle recycling boxes, this utility model provides an acupuncture needle recycling box that has the advantage of having an inner storage box installed inside the outer shell, which divides the interior of the outer shell into different areas and prevents the stored acupuncture needles from tipping over, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an acupuncture needle recycling box, including an outer shell, an inner storage box installed inside the outer shell, a threaded sleeve threadedly installed on the upper end of the inner storage box, a cover plate installed on the upper part of the threaded sleeve via a hinge, a circular slider fixed to the lower end of the outer shell, a rotating seat installed on the outside of the circular slider, a base plate fixed to the inner side of the rotating seat, and a sealing cover movably sleeved on the lower end of the base plate.
[0006] Preferably, the inner placement box includes a cylinder that fits against the inner wall of the outer shell, and a partition is fixed to the inner side of the cylinder.
[0007] Preferably, the inner placement box is disposed inside the outer shell, and the inner placement box is installed between the base plate and the threaded sleeve.
[0008] Preferably, a limiting sleeve and a buckle are installed on one side of the connection between the threaded sleeve and the cover plate to limit the engagement, and the buckle engages inside the limiting sleeve.
[0009] Preferably, the base plate is disposed inside the lower end of the housing, and the sealing cover is rotatable around the center of the base plate.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom plate and the sealing cover have discharge holes inside, and the discharge holes overlap with the cavity inside the inner placement box.
[0011] Preferably, the diameter and height of the outer shell are both 5cm, and the bottom ends of the sealing cover and the rotating seat are kept parallel.
[0012] Compared with existing acupuncture needle recycling boxes, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. The acupuncture needle recycling box is installed inside the outer shell via an inner placement box. The inner placement box contains a partition that divides the inside of the cylinder into different areas. This prevents the acupuncture needles from tipping over during the recycling process, which could cause them to become entangled and blockages when the needles are subsequently removed from the outer shell.
[0014] 2. This acupuncture needle recycling box features a flip-top cover that opens easily from the top of the threaded sleeve. When acupuncture needles are removed from the outer casing, rotating the sealing cap aligns it with the discharge hole inside the base plate. Rotating the rotating seat causes the base plate to rotate, moving the discharge hole inside the inner storage box. This allows the corresponding acupuncture needles inside the inner storage box to automatically slide downwards. This prevents the needle tips from pointing upwards when pouring the needles into the sharps box and avoids direct contact between fingers and the inner storage box, thus preventing cross-contamination.

[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] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 An acupuncture needle recycling box includes an outer shell 1, an inner storage box 2 installed inside the outer shell 1, the inner storage box 2 defining the position of the acupuncture needles to ensure stability during acupuncture needle recycling, a threaded sleeve 3 threadedly installed at the upper end of the inner storage box 2, a cover plate 5 installed on the upper part of the threaded sleeve 3 via a hinge 4, flipping the cover plate 5 creates an opening in the upper part of the outer shell 1, allowing the acupuncture needles to be recycled into the inner storage box 2, a circular slider 7 fixed to the lower end of the outer shell 1, a rotating seat 8 fitted to the outside of the circular slider 7, the rotating seat 8 defining the position of a base plate 9, rotating the rotating seat 8 causing the base plate 9 to rotate as a whole, the base plate 9 fixed to the inner side of the rotating seat 8, a sealing cover 10 movably sleeved at the lower end of the base plate 9, rotating the sealing cover 10 controls the overlap of the discharge hole 11 inside the base plate 9 and the sealing cover 10, thus controlling the retrieval of the acupuncture needles.
[0024] Please see Figure 4 The inner storage box 2 includes a cylinder 21, which is attached to the inner wall of the outer shell 1. A partition 22 is fixed to the inner side of the cylinder 21. The inner storage box 2 is installed inside the outer shell 1. The partition 22 divides the inside of the cylinder 21 into different areas. Different acupuncture needles are placed in different areas according to their use. After the partition 22 divides the inside of the cylinder 21, it prevents the acupuncture needles from tipping over when they are placed, which would cause the tipped acupuncture needles to pile up and cause blockage when the acupuncture needles are retrieved later.
[0025] Please see Figure 3The inner placement box 2 is located inside the outer shell 1. The inner placement box 2 is installed between the base plate 9 and the threaded sleeve 3. After the inner placement box 2 is installed inside the outer shell 1, the upper and lower ends of the inner placement box 2 are fitted with the threaded sleeve 3 and the base plate 9. The threaded sleeve 3 and the base plate 9 limit the interior of the inner placement box 2, ensuring the convenience and stability of the inner placement box 2 when it is installed and removed. In addition, the inner placement box 2 can be replaced with different shapes to meet the different needs of acupuncture needle placement.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 A limiting sleeve 6 and a buckle 12 are installed on one side of the connection between the threaded sleeve 3 and the cover plate 5 for locking and limiting. The buckle 12 is locked inside the limiting sleeve 6. After the threaded sleeve 3 is installed on the upper part of the outer shell 1, the cover plate 5 is flipped and rotated around the hinge 4, that is, the cover plate 5 can be opened. At the same time, after the cover plate 5 is closed, the limiting sleeve 6 and the buckle 12 are locked and limited to each other, which improves the stability of the cover plate 5 when it is closed. That is, when the equipment is in use, by flipping the cover plate 5, the upper part of the inner placement box 2 is controlled to form an opening, which facilitates the retrieval and placement of acupuncture needles.
[0027] Please see Figure 6 The base plate 9 is located inside the lower end of the outer shell 1. The sealing cover 10 can rotate around the middle of the base plate 9. By setting the base plate 9 inside the lower end of the outer shell 1, the base plate 9 seals the lower end of the outer shell 1. At the same time, the sealing cover 10 can rotate around the base plate 9. By rotating the sealing cover 10, the discharge hole 11 opened on the outside of the sealing cover 10 and the base plate 9 can be aligned. At the same time, by rotating the base plate 9, the base plate 9 moves the discharge hole 11 to the lower end of the inner placement box 2. That is, when taking out the acupuncture needles collected inside the outer shell 1, it is avoided to directly extend the fingers into the inside of the outer shell 1 to avoid cross-infection.
[0028] Please see Figure 2 The bottom plate 9 and the sealing cover 10 have discharge holes 11 inside. The discharge holes 11 and the inner cavity of the inner box 2 are mutually overlapped. By controlling the discharge holes 11 inside the bottom plate 9 and the sealing cover 10 to be misaligned, the bottom end of the outer shell 1 can be sealed. At the same time, rotating the sealing cover 10 can control the alignment between the sealing cover 10 and the bottom plate 9, providing space for the acupuncture needles to be taken out. The rotation of the bottom plate 9 can also adjust the position for taking out the acupuncture needles.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 The outer shell 1 has a diameter and height of 5cm. The bottom ends of the sealing cover 10 and the rotating seat 8 are parallel. Since the outer shell 1 has a diameter and height of 5cm, acupuncture needles can be stored. At the same time, the bottom ends of the sealing cover 10 and the rotating seat 8 are parallel. When placing the device, the sealing cover 10 and the rotating seat 8 are placed on the table, which improves the convenience of placing the device.
[0030] Example 1: In use, the inner storage box 2 is installed inside the outer shell 1, and the threaded sleeve 3 is threaded onto the upper end of the outer shell 1. The threaded sleeve 3 and the base plate 9 limit the position of the inner storage box 2 inside the outer shell 1. When using the device, the outer shell 1 is placed on the table, and the rotating seat 8 is attached to the table. At the same time, the cover plate 5 is flipped, and the cover plate 5 rotates around the hinge 4, that is, the inner storage box 2 is exposed to the outside. The user places the acupuncture needles into the cavity formed inside the inner storage box 2 in sequence. When the acupuncture needles are taken out, the cover plate 5 is closed, and the sealing cover 10 is rotated. The sealing cover 10 and the discharge hole 11 opened inside the base plate 9 are aligned. At the same time, the base plate 9 is rotated, and the base plate 9 drives the discharge hole 11 to move at the lower end of the inner storage box 2. That is, after the discharge hole 11 moves to the corresponding position at the lower end of the inner storage box 2, the acupuncture needles stored inside the inner storage box 2 can automatically fall downwards. This prevents the needle tips from pointing upwards when the acupuncture needles are poured into the sharps box, and also prevents cross-contamination when the acupuncture needles are taken out from inside the outer shell 1.
[0031] Example 2: Open the cover 5. The inner storage box 2 can be divided into different spaces according to the different types of acupuncture needles used, or a sponge pad can be placed inside the inner storage box 2. After the acupuncture needles are used, they can be directly inserted into the sponge pad installed inside the inner storage box 2. After the inner storage box 2 has finished collecting the acupuncture needles, the threaded sleeve 3 can be removed. At the same time, the inner storage box 2 can be taken out from the inside of the outer shell 1. The inner storage box 2 is then sterilized at high temperature to avoid cross-infection during the use of the inner storage box 2.
[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
