Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical devices, and in particular is an acupuncture auxiliary operation device. Background Art

[0002] Acupuncture, an ancient and effective Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapy, has been widely used worldwide. Its unique theoretical framework and remarkable therapeutic effects have enabled it to play a vital role in a variety of fields, including pain management, rehabilitation, and disease prevention. However, with modern society's ever-increasing pursuit of medical technology and the continuous improvement of patient experience, some issues with traditional acupuncture treatment have gradually emerged.

[0003] First, acupuncture requires highly skilled and precise techniques to ensure accuracy and safety. However, this reliance on skilled practitioners limits the popularity and application of acupuncture. Many primary care facilities are unable to provide effective acupuncture treatments due to a shortage of professional acupuncturists.

[0004] Secondly, during traditional acupuncture treatment, doctors need to hold the needles for a long time, which not only increases the doctor's workload but also easily causes hand fatigue and operational errors. This long-term continuous operation not only affects the doctor's work efficiency, but may also reduce the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment.

[0005] Furthermore, for some newly trained medical professionals, acupuncture experience and skills are often relatively limited. Improper force control or lack of technique can easily lead to inaccurate insertion of the needle, or insertion too deep or too shallow. This not only affects the effectiveness of treatment but can also cause unnecessary pain and harm to the patient. Sometimes, to find the correct acupoint or achieve the desired therapeutic effect, medical professionals may even need to perform the procedure multiple times, which undoubtedly increases the patient's pain and complicates treatment.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention proposes an acupuncture auxiliary operation device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present invention proposes an acupuncture auxiliary operation device to solve the problems of high dependence on doctor's skills, cumbersome operation and imprecise control of needle insertion depth and needle twisting angle in traditional acupuncture treatment.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: an acupuncture auxiliary operation device, comprising an outer shell, an inner shell and a controller, a fixed component is installed on the outer side wall of the outer shell, a rotating component is installed on the inner top wall of the outer shell, the rotating component is fixedly connected to the inner shell at one end away from the outer shell, an opening is provided at the end of the inner shell away from the rotating component, a first pressure sensor is installed at the opening, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the inner shell, a plurality of leakage holes are provided on the connecting rod, a power piece is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the inner shell, a power storage shell is installed outside the power piece, a strain gauge is embedded in the side wall of the power storage shell, a push needle assembly is connected to the bottom of the power storage shell, the push needle assembly includes a shell, the shell is connected to the power storage shell, a needle clamp is slidably fitted at one end of the shell away from the power storage shell, a push plate is slidably fitted inside the shell, liquid is filled between the push plate and the needle clamp, and a liquid level sensor is embedded inside the shell;

[0009] The controller controls the opening and closing of the power part according to the real-time monitoring data of the first pressure sensor. At the same time, the controller can measure the insertion depth of the acupuncture needle according to the real-time monitoring data of the liquid level sensor. The rotating component controls the frequency and angle of the needle twisting through the preset values ​​of the controller.

[0010] The above scheme achieves the following beneficial effects: the device of the present invention achieves precise control of components such as the power parts and the rotating assembly through the controller, and automatically adjusts operating parameters according to real-time monitoring data (such as data from the first pressure sensor and the liquid level sensor), thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of acupuncture treatment.

[0011] 1. Utilizing fixed components and the principle of negative pressure adsorption, the skin and muscle tissue are stably attached to the inner shell. This not only ensures accurate insertion of the acupuncture needle into the target location but also prevents noticeable skin indentation due to pressure during insertion, further enhancing treatment accuracy. Furthermore, a liquid level sensor monitors the movement of the liquid, allowing the controller to accurately calculate the insertion depth of the acupuncture needle. This precise control ensures the safety and effectiveness of the treatment process, avoiding potential risks associated with improper needle insertion depth.

[0012] 2. By rotating the components and setting the preset values ​​on the controller, you can achieve intelligent control of the frequency and angle of needle twisting. Through precise needle insertion and twisting operations, combined with the principles of acupuncture treatment, it can more effectively stimulate acupoints and improve the effect of acupuncture treatment.

[0013] 3. The device of the present invention simplifies the operation process of acupuncture treatment through automation and intelligent control, and improves the treatment efficiency. Doctors can focus more on the treatment itself instead of the tedious operation steps.

[0014] 4. Because the operation is precise and smooth, and some operations can be completed automatically, patients can feel more comfortable and relaxed when receiving acupuncture treatment, which helps to improve the patient's treatment experience and satisfaction.

[0015] 5. Since the device of the present invention adopts a modular design and each component is relatively independent, it can be flexibly configured and adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to different types of acupuncture treatment requirements.

[0016] 6. The device of the present invention ensures the safety and reliability of the treatment process through real-time monitoring and control. The use of sensors such as strain gauges, primary pressure sensors, and liquid level sensors, along with the precise calculation and control of the controller, provide strong support for the treatment process.

[0017] In summary, the acupuncture-assisted operation device of the present invention improves the effect of acupuncture treatment and the patient's comfort by precisely controlling the needle insertion depth, ensuring accuracy through stable adsorption, and intelligently controlling the needle twisting operation, while ensuring the safety and reliability of the treatment process.

[0018] Furthermore, one-way electric valves are installed at both ends of the power storage shell, the power part is a negative pressure fan, and the one-way electric valve and the negative pressure fan are both connected to the controller signal.

[0019] Beneficial effects: As a power component, the negative pressure blower can quickly generate and maintain a negative pressure environment, thereby quickly and stably adsorbing skin and muscle tissue. This high adsorption efficiency can greatly shorten the preparation time before treatment and improve treatment efficiency. The design of the one-way electric valve ensures that the gas will not flow back into the power storage shell during the needle pushing process, thereby ensuring the continuity and accuracy of the treatment. Through the signal connection with the controller, the one-way electric valve and the negative pressure blower can be intelligently controlled as needed. The controller can adjust the power of the negative pressure blower and the opening state of the one-way electric valve according to real-time monitoring data (such as pressure sensors, liquid level sensors, etc.), thereby achieving a more accurate and flexible treatment process.

[0020] Furthermore, a heating electrode sheet and a temperature sensor are embedded in the inner wall of the shell. Both the heating electrode sheet and the temperature sensor are connected to the controller signal. The controller controls the power of the heating electrode sheet according to the real-time monitoring data of the temperature sensor.

[0021] Beneficial effects: The liquid in the shell is heated by the heating electrode sheet, and then the heat is transferred to the acupuncture needle, realizing the function of warm needle treatment, which helps to improve the effect of acupuncture treatment. The temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the liquid in the shell in real time and feeds the data back to the controller. The controller dynamically adjusts the power of the heating electrode sheet according to the preset temperature range and real-time data to ensure that the liquid temperature always remains within the set range. This precise temperature control helps to avoid discomfort or harm to the patient caused by excessively high or low temperatures. Because the controller can be intelligently adjusted according to the preset temperature range, the device can adapt to different treatment needs. Medical staff can set the appropriate temperature range according to the patient's specific situation and treatment needs to achieve personalized warm needle treatment.

[0022] Furthermore, the fixing assembly includes a plurality of straps, which are elastic bands. One end of the strap is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the shell, and the other end of the strap is fixedly connected to a Velcro.

[0023] Beneficial effects: Since the straps adopt an elastic structure, the device of the present invention can adapt to patients of different body shapes. Medical staff can adjust the tightness of the straps according to the patient's specific body shape and needs to ensure that the device can be tightly and comfortably fixed on the patient. By fixing the other end of the strap with Velcro, a quick and reliable fixation effect can be achieved. This fixing method is not only firm but also easy to adjust, which can ensure that the device maintains a stable position during the treatment process and avoids the treatment effect being affected by movement or slipping. The combined use of elastic bands and Velcro allows the fixing component to provide sufficient fixing force while maintaining a certain degree of elasticity and comfort. This is very important for patients, as it can avoid discomfort or pain caused by overly tight fixation.

[0024] Furthermore, the rotating assembly includes a driving member, the output shaft of the driving member is fixedly connected to the outer top wall of the inner shell, and a rotation angle sensor is embedded in the output shaft of the driving member. The driving member and the rotation angle sensor are both connected to the controller signal. The controller controls the rotation angle of the driving member according to preset data, and the rotation angle sensor monitors the rotation angle in real time.

[0025] Beneficial Effects: Through the signal connection between the driver and the controller, medical staff can precisely control the driver's rotation angle, thereby achieving precise control of the acupuncture needle twisting angle. This precise control helps ensure accuracy and consistency during acupuncture treatment, improving treatment effectiveness. The rotation angle sensor monitors the driver's rotation angle in real time and feeds this data back to the controller. This allows medical staff to understand the twisting status of the acupuncture needle in real time, ensuring safety and reliability during treatment. By precisely controlling the needle twisting angle and monitoring the rotation angle in real time, medical staff can perform acupuncture treatment more efficiently. They can quickly adjust the needle twisting angle and frequency based on the patient's specific condition and treatment needs, thereby shortening treatment time and improving treatment efficiency.

[0026] Furthermore, the needle clamp includes a needle clamping plate, a pin insertion hole is opened in the center of the needle clamping plate, and a rubber layer is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the pin insertion hole.

[0027] Beneficial Effects: The combination of the needle insertion hole and the rubber layer ensures acupuncture needles are securely and stably held during insertion and removal. The softness and elasticity of the rubber layer allow for a close fit with the needles, preventing them from slipping or shaking, thus ensuring safety and stability during treatment. The needle insertion hole design offers a degree of adjustability, accommodating needles of varying sizes. This makes the assistive device widely applicable, meeting diverse treatment needs.

[0028] Furthermore, a second pressure sensor is installed on the top of the pin hole, and an indicator light is embedded in the outer wall of the shell. The second pressure sensor and the indicator light are both connected to the controller signal. The controller determines whether the acupuncture needle is installed in place based on the real-time monitoring data of the second pressure sensor, and makes corresponding reminders through the indicator light.

[0029] Beneficial Effects: Through real-time monitoring by the second pressure sensor, the controller accurately determines whether the acupuncture needles are properly installed. If a needle is not properly installed, the controller immediately issues a warning via an indicator light, preventing accidental injuries caused by needles falling off or not properly secured during the acupuncture process, thereby significantly improving treatment safety. The instant reminder function of the indicator light eliminates the need for medical staff to repeatedly check the installation of the needles; they can simply determine the needle's status based on the indicator light. This not only reduces the number of steps required but also improves work efficiency, making the acupuncture treatment process more convenient.

[0030] Furthermore, the device also includes a display screen, which is embedded in the outer wall of the shell and is connected to the controller signal. The display screen is used to display real-time data.

[0031] Benefits: The display screen displays key treatment data, such as temperature, pressure, and rotation angle, in real time, allowing both medical staff and patients to intuitively understand treatment status. This transparency helps enhance treatment credibility and reduce unnecessary concerns. Medical staff can monitor various treatment data in real time through the display screen and make immediate adjustments as needed. For example, if the temperature or pressure is not within the preset values, the relevant parameters can be quickly adjusted to ensure the accuracy and safety of the treatment process.

[0032] Furthermore, the device also includes a wireless communication component, which performs data transmission and remote control to achieve remote monitoring and adjustment of treatment parameters.

[0033] Benefits: Through the wireless communication component, medical staff can remotely monitor acupuncture treatments and view treatment parameters and patient status in real time. The wireless communication component rapidly transmits real-time data from the treatment process to medical staff or other medical professionals, enabling instant data sharing. This data sharing strengthens teamwork and improves treatment efficiency and quality. Medical staff can remotely adjust treatment parameters such as temperature, pressure, and rotation angle through the wireless communication component. This remote adjustment capability makes treatment more flexible and personalized, better meeting the patient's treatment needs.

[0034] Furthermore, a power supply assembly is installed on the outer top wall of the shell, and the power supply assembly is used to provide power to the controller, power parts, heating electrode plates, one-way electric valves, rotation angle sensors, second pressure sensors, display screens and wireless communication components. The power supply assembly is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.

[0035] Beneficial Effects: Lithium-ion batteries offer high energy density and a long service life, providing a long-lasting and stable power supply for the controller, power components, heating electrode plates, one-way electric valve, rotation angle sensor, secondary pressure sensor, display, and wireless communication components. This ensures the continuity and stability of acupuncture treatments and avoids interruptions due to power shortages. Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable, meaning users can charge the power components using common charging devices such as chargers and power banks. This convenient and flexible charging method makes the device more convenient to use, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacement and reducing operating costs. Lithium-ion batteries also offer improved environmental performance compared to traditional disposable batteries. Through repeated use and recharging, lithium-ion batteries reduce battery waste and environmental pollution. Furthermore, the stable power supply helps reduce energy consumption and enhances the device's energy-saving performance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

For example, it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection, or it can be the internal communication between two components. It can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0045] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:

[0046] Example 1, basically as in the attached Figures 1 to 5As shown: An acupuncture auxiliary operation device includes an outer shell 1, an inner shell 2 and a controller. A fixing component is installed on the outer wall of the outer shell 1. The fixing component includes a plurality of straps 101. The straps 101 are elastic bands. One end of the straps 101 is bonded and fixed to the outer wall of the outer shell 1, and the other end of the straps 101 is bonded and fixed with Velcro.

[0047] A rotating assembly is installed on the inner top wall of the outer shell 1, and the rotating assembly includes a driving member. The output shaft of the driving member is fixed with bolts to the outer top wall of the inner shell 2. A rotation angle sensor is embedded on the output shaft of the driving member. The driving member and the rotation angle sensor are both connected to the controller signal. The controller controls the rotation angle of the driving member according to preset data, and the rotation angle sensor monitors the rotation angle in real time.

[0048] The end of the rotating assembly away from the outer shell 1 is bolted to the inner shell 2, and an opening 201 is provided at the end of the inner shell 2 away from the rotating assembly. A first pressure sensor 202 is installed at the opening 201. A connecting rod 3 is bolted to the inner top wall of the inner shell 2, and a plurality of leakage holes 301 are provided on the connecting rod 3. A power part is bolted to the end of the connecting rod 3 away from the inner shell 2, and a power storage shell 4 is installed on the outside of the power part. In this embodiment, the power storage shell 4 is made of a support frame 401 and an elastic material. One-way electric valves 402 are installed at both ends of the power storage shell 4, and the power part is a negative pressure fan 302. A strain gauge is embedded in the side wall of the force storage shell 4, and a push needle assembly is connected to the bottom of the force storage shell 4. The push needle assembly includes a shell 5, which is connected to the force storage shell 4. The shell 5 is slidably fitted with a needle clamp 6 at one end away from the force storage shell 4. In this embodiment, a number of sliding grooves are provided on the side wall of the opening 201 of the inner shell 2, and a number of sliders matching the sliding grooves are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the needle clamp 6, so that when the inner shell 2 rotates, the disposable acupuncture needle fixed in the needle clamp 6 can be driven to rotate (not shown in the figure).

[0049] The needle holder 6 comprises a needle holder plate with a needle insertion hole 601 defined in its center. A rubber layer 602 is bonded to the inner wall of the hole 601. A second pressure sensor 603 is mounted on the top of the hole 601, and an indicator light is embedded in the outer wall of the housing 1. Both the second pressure sensor 603 and the indicator light are connected to a controller. The controller uses real-time monitoring data from the second pressure sensor 603 to determine whether the acupuncture needle is properly installed and issues a corresponding reminder via the indicator light.

[0050] A push plate 7 is slidably fitted inside the shell 5, and liquid 8 is filled between the push plate 7 and the needle clamp 6. A liquid level sensor is embedded inside the shell 5; the controller controls the opening and closing of the power component and the one-way electric valve 402 according to the real-time monitoring data of the first pressure sensor 202. At the same time, the controller can measure the insertion depth of the acupuncture needle according to the real-time monitoring data of the liquid level sensor.

[0051] A power supply assembly is installed on the outer top wall of the shell 1. The power supply assembly is used to provide power to the controller, power parts, heating electrode sheet, one-way electric valve 402, rotation angle sensor, second pressure sensor 603, display screen and wireless communication assembly. The power supply assembly is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.

[0052] In this embodiment, the driving component is a motor 102 .

[0053] The specific implementation process is as follows: A disposable acupuncture needle is inserted into the insertion hole 601. The rubber layer 602 in the insertion hole 601 has excellent elasticity and adaptability, which can adaptively fix different types of acupuncture needles, ensuring that the acupuncture needle is stable and does not shake during subsequent operations. When the acupuncture needle is fully inserted, it will contact the second pressure sensor 603 at the top of the insertion hole 601. The second pressure sensor 603 begins to monitor the pressure generated by the acupuncture needle in real time and transmits this data to the controller.

[0054] After the controller receives the data transmitted by the second pressure sensor 603, it will compare the data with the preset data. If the received data is equal to the preset data (or within an allowable error range), it is determined that the acupuncture needle has been correctly inserted and fixed. At this time, the controller will control the indicator light on the outer wall of the shell 1 to light up green. The lighting of the green light is a clear feedback to the medical staff, indicating that the acupuncture needle is ready and can proceed to the next step. Use the strap 101 in the fixing component to fix the shell 1 to the position where the patient needs acupuncture, and fix it with Velcro to ensure that the device is stable and does not move.

[0055] After fixation is complete, the controller activates the negative pressure blower 302, generating negative pressure within the inner shell 2, which attracts the desired acupuncture point. Simultaneously, the controller opens the one-way electric valve 402 connecting the force-storage shell 4 and the negative pressure blower 302, storing the gas generated by the adsorption within the elastic force-storage shell 4. When the adsorbed skin and muscle tissue reaches the opening 201, the first pressure sensor 202 receives the pressure value and transmits it to the controller.

[0056] When the controller receives the data transmitted by the first pressure sensor 202 and combines it with the detection data of the strain gauge in the force storage shell 4, it will perform comprehensive processing on this information. Specifically, the first pressure sensor 202 monitors the pressure changes generated when the skin and muscle tissue at the opening 201 of the inner shell 2 are adsorbed, while the strain gauge monitors the degree of deformation of the force storage shell 4 during the gas storage process. The controller uses the data from these two sensors to determine whether the adsorption state and the gas pressure inside the force storage shell 4 have reached the preset value. Once the preset conditions are met, the controller will issue an instruction to open the one-way electric valve 402 at the connection between the force storage shell 4 and the shell 5. If the gas pressure inside the force storage shell 4 is not enough to push the push plate 7, the negative pressure blower 302 is started by the controller, and the negative pressure blower 302 is converted from the negative pressure adsorption state to the positive pressure blowing state to replenish gas to the force storage shell 4.

[0057] Because the force-accumulating housing 4 is made of an elastic material, when the one-way electric valve 402 opens, the gas stored in the housing 4 is rapidly squeezed into the housing 5 by the elastic material's restorative force. The pressure generated by this gas exerts a strong thrust on the push plate 7 in the housing 5, which in turn pushes the liquid 8. As the liquid 8 is pushed within the housing 5, its incompressibility causes it to slide the needle holder 6 outward. This sliding process pushes the disposable acupuncture needle affixed to the needle holder 6 outward, allowing it to be accurately inserted into the skin and muscle tissue already drawn into the negative pressure blower 302.

[0058] Adsorption to the acupuncture site ensures accurate insertion of the needle into the target location. Because the skin and muscle tissue are stably adhered to the inner shell 2, the pressure from the needle prevents noticeable indentation of the skin during insertion. This means that the liquid level sensor, when monitoring the movement of liquid 8, can more accurately reflect the actual insertion depth of the needle. By reading the data from the liquid level sensor, the controller can precisely calculate the insertion depth of the needle, thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of the treatment process.

[0059] After insertion, medical personnel can adjust the rotation angle and frequency of motor 102 as needed through the controller. Motor 102, through inner housing 2 and needle holder 6, drives the disposable acupuncture needles to perform a needle-twisting operation. A rotation angle sensor simultaneously monitors the rotation angle of motor 102 in real time and feeds this data back to the controller. Based on this feedback, the controller ensures optimal needle-twisting results.

[0060] Example 2 is different from the above examples in that a heating electrode sheet and a temperature sensor are embedded in the inner wall of the shell 5, and both the heating electrode sheet and the temperature sensor are connected to the controller signal. The controller controls the power of the heating electrode sheet according to the real-time monitoring data of the temperature sensor.

[0061] The specific implementation process is as follows: When a disposable acupuncture needle needs to be warmed, medical staff can activate the heating electrode sheet through the controller, and the heating electrode sheet begins to work, heating the liquid 8 in the shell 5. Due to the thermal conductivity of the liquid 8, the heat will gradually be transferred to the acupuncture needle. At the same time, the temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the liquid 8 in the shell 5 in real time and transmits the monitored temperature data to the controller. The controller dynamically adjusts the power of the heating electrode sheet based on the preset temperature range and the real-time data from the temperature sensor. If the temperature is too low, the controller increases the power of the heating electrode sheet to increase the heating speed; if the temperature is too high, the power is reduced to prevent the liquid 8 from overheating.

[0062] During the heating process, the acupuncture needles are gradually heated to a suitable temperature. Medical staff can perform acupuncture operations after heating to the appropriate temperature as needed.

[0063] Embodiment 3 is different from the above embodiments in that the device further includes a display screen, which is embedded in the outer wall of the housing 1 and is connected to the controller signal. The display screen is used to display real-time data.

[0064] The specific implementation process is as follows: After the auxiliary device starts working. The display screen displays various data in real time, including but not limited to: the insertion depth of the acupuncture needle (calculated by the data monitored by the liquid level sensor), the temperature of the liquid 8 (the temperature of the liquid 8 in the shell 5 monitored by the temperature sensor), the adsorption pressure (the adsorption pressure generated by the negative pressure fan 302 monitored by the first pressure sensor 202) and the working status of the heating electrode (including whether it is turned on and the current power), etc. Medical staff can adjust or operate as needed. When the acupuncture needle needs to be warmed, the medical staff can start the heating electrode through the display screen and set the appropriate temperature. Medical staff can perform further operations based on the data on the display screen, such as twisting the needle, adjusting the temperature, etc.

[0065] The display screen allows for a more intuitive understanding of the device's operating status and real-time data, improving operational convenience and accuracy. Furthermore, the addition of the display screen increases the device's intelligence, providing users with a better user experience.

[0066] Embodiment 4 differs from the above embodiments in that the device further includes a wireless communication component, which performs data transmission and remote control to achieve remote monitoring and adjustment of treatment parameters.

[0067] The specific implementation process is as follows: The wireless communication component is integrated into the device and connects to the controller for signal transmission. This component supports common wireless communication protocols (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and ZigBee) to ensure stable data transmission.

[0068] The wireless communication component transmits real-time data from the device (such as needle insertion depth, fluid temperature, and adsorption pressure) to a remote server or mobile device. Medical staff or patients can access this data by accessing the remote server or using a mobile app. This improved wireless communication component allows for real-time data viewing and remote control of the device anytime, anywhere, greatly improving convenience and flexibility.

[0069] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention, and common knowledge such as the specific structure and / or characteristics of the scheme is not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the structure of the present invention, several variations and improvements can be made, which should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent.
