The invention provides a sleeve type acupuncture pin, comprising a sleeve and an acupuncture pin inserted into the sleeve; the acupuncture pin comprises a pin body and a pin handle; the sleeve comprises a pipe body with a pipe chamber, and at least two blocking parts raised from the wall of the pipe chamber towards the inside of the pipe chamber; a clamping groove for clamping the pin handle is formed between the lateral surfaces of two adjacent blocking parts; two lateral groove walls of the clamping grooves are arranged on the blocking parts at two sides of the clamping groove; the space between two lateral groove walls in the direction vertical to the radial direction of the pipe body is equal to the width of the clamping groove; at least part of the clamping groove is wider than the port of the clamping groove; the width of the port of the clamping groove is less the width of the maximum cross section than the width of the pin handle; the pin handle of the acupuncture pin is clamped by the clamping groove, and is limited by the port of the clamping groove so that the pin handle is kept, thereby reliably locating the acupuncture pin. The acupuncture pin has a simple assembling way; when in use, the pin handle can be lightly pushed from the clamping groove to carry out normal acupuncture; the operation is simple and quick.
