Problems solved by technology

When using traditional multiple electrodes connected by wires to target multiple acupoints, such as some acupoints on the back of the hand and some on the feet, then one electrode must be used on the corresponding acupoints, which will inevitably lead to differences with people. There are many connecting wires, which makes it inconvenient for people to move
On the other hand, for the combined treatment of multiple acupoints, there is also a need to use paired treatments with different intensities and different frequencies, that is, each electro-acupuncture needs to be individually adjusted or assigned different operating modes according to different treatment plans, and Traditional treatment methods cannot meet this demand, especially for certain diseases that require synchronous control or asynchronous control of multiple electrodes. For example, when treating female infertility, it is concluded through clinical research that it is necessary Simultaneously treat the 5 acupoints of Zhongji, Guihui, Uterus, Taichong, and Sanyinjiao simultaneously, which is difficult to achieve with traditional methods.

[0031] The electroacupuncture system provided in this embodiment has an automatic control function, which can set different mode parameters according to different physical conditions and disease characteristics, and automatically output the required pulse current in a constant current mode according to the set mode parameters.

[0032]In order to achieve the above purpose, the electroacupuncture system provided in this embodiment includes a terminal controller and one or more electroacupuncture. In cases where only one point needs to be stimulated, only one EA is used in the EA system. In the case that multiple acupoints need to be stimulated at the same time, the electroacupuncture system includes multiple electroacupuncture points, and each electroacupuncture stimulates one acupoint. In this case, the terminal controller may only control one or some of the multiple electric needles, or may centrally control all the multiple electric needles. Since the structure and control ...

[0061] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that a wireless charging function is added.

[0062] figure 2 It is a structural diagram of the electroacupuncture system of the second embodiment of the present invention. From figure 2It can be seen that the improvement of the electroacupuncture system of this embodiment to the electroacupuncture system of the first embodiment is that: the battery 21 is a rechargeable battery (for example, a rechargeable lithium battery); wireless charging is added in the power management unit 224 Management unit 2244; a multi-position wireless charging adapter 24 connected or coupled to the wireless charging management unit 2244 is also added. Among them, the multi-position wireless charging adapter 24 is used to simultaneously provide energy for wireless charging to the wireless charging management unit 2244 of one or more electric needles 2; the wireless charging management unit 2244 is used to receive energy fr...

Abstract

The invention provides an electric needle system. The system comprises one or more electric needles and a terminal controller, wherein each of the electric needles is used for stimulating an acupoint, the terminal controller is used for controlling mode parameters and device parameters of one or more electric needles and sending an operation control command which is used for controlling the operation of the electric needles and a parameter setting command which is used for transmitting parameters of the electric needles to the controlled electric needles, each of electric needles comprises an output electrode, a cell and a control unit, the control circuit is used for receiving the operation control command and the parameter setting command from the terminal controller and controlling the output electrode to output pulse current in accordance with received commands, and the magnitude of the pulse current is constant and corresponds to the stimulation intensity output by the output electrode. Besides, the invention also provides the corresponding electric needle and the corresponding terminal controller. The constant current corresponding to the stimulation intensity can be output and exerted on the skin surface, parameters can be adjusted flexibly and a plurality of electric needles can be controlled synchronously or asynchronously.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electroacupuncture, in particular to an electroacupuncture system with automatic control and charging functions, as well as an electroacupuncture and a terminal controller. Background technique [0002] Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the functions of the human body are controlled by the meridian system and the qi and blood running in it. Acupuncture achieves the purpose of curing diseases and health care by dredging the meridians and activating blood circulation. While Chinese medical researchers are trying their best to explore the essence of meridians, they are also trying to explain the principle of acupuncture and moxibustion with modern medical methods and theories. In the late 1950s, some people used acupuncture to produce clinical trials of analgesic effects, and designed and applied acupuncture methods to prevent surgical pain, which was called "acupuncture anesthesia", which aroused g...
