Intelligent device and method for simulating acupuncture therapy

Abstract

The invention relates to an intelligent device for simulating acupuncture therapy. The intelligent device comprises a box body, control equipment, a light source and a camera, wherein the interior ofthe box body is a closed and lightproof cavity. The intelligent device is characterized in that: a part of region on the upper surface of the box body is an imitated human body tissue layer, the lightsource and the camera are arranged in a cavity in the box body, and the camera is connected with the control equipment by means of a transmission line so as to upload acquired image data to the control equipment. An acupuncture training method disclosed by the invention comprises the steps of: a), camera position calibration; b), image acquisition; c), image processing; d), and picture display. According to the intelligent device for simulating acupuncture therapy, the control equipment can calculate piercing speed, angle and depth of an acupuncture needle through graphic processing during the process that an acupuncture simulation trainer uses the acupuncture needle to pierce the imitated human body tissue layer, and the piercing speed, angle and depth are displayed by means of a displayscreen, thereby conducting correct instruction on the needle insertion of the acupuncture simulation trainer, and accelerating the speed of acupuncture training.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an intelligent device and method for simulating acupuncture therapy, more specifically, to an intelligent device and method for simulating acupuncture therapy that can obtain the speed, angle and depth of acupuncture needles during needle insertion. Background technique [0002] Acupuncture and moxibustion is a unique treatment method in my country. It is a medical technique of "treating internal diseases externally". Acupuncture and moxibustion can dredge the meridians, reconcile yin and yang, strengthen the body and eliminate pathogenic factors. It is a treasure of Chinese medicine therapy in my country. In the process of using acupuncture and moxibustion to treat diseases, practitioners are required not only to accurately find acupuncture points, but also to be proficient in acupuncture and moxibustion techniques. Acupuncture techniques have strict requirements on needle speed, needle angle and needle depth. When acu...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Acupuncture techniques have strict requirements on needle speed, needle angle and needle depth. When acupuncture needles are inserted into the body, if the needle insertion speed is not fast enough, the patient will suffer unbearable pain. If the insertion angle is incorrect, the therapeutic effect will not be achieved.

Likewise, if the needle is inserted too shallow, there is no therapeutic effect, and if the needle is inserted too deep, it may cause harm to the patient

[0003] For beginners, on the basis of mastering the acupuncture points of the human body, it is necessary to train the needle insertion speed, angle and depth. However, in the training process, in order to avoid unnecessary harm to the patient, it is not easy to use the human body as the object.
