Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of acupuncture equipment, and in particular to an anti-scalding warm acupuncture device capable of automatically controlling temperature. Background Art
[0002] Warm needling is a widely used acupuncture therapy in clinical practice. The procedure is to insert the acupuncture needle - the filiform needle - into the acupuncture points of the human body to obtain qi. During the needle retention process, the moxa segment is placed on the needle handle and ignited. The burning of the moxa segment forms a warm stimulation to the acupuncture points. At the same time, it has physical characteristics such as spectral radiation, biothermal effect and non-thermal effect.
[0003] During the burning process, the moxa segment will continue to generate heat. If the patient feels the burning sensation is unbearable, the temperature can be controlled by adjusting the distance between the moxa segment and the skin or placing paper sheets between the moxa segment and the skin. This method has the following disadvantages: 1) Medical staff are required to provide care at all times, which wastes medical human resources and reduces clinical work efficiency; 2) There are safety hazards, such as falling moxa sticks or ashes that may cause burns; 3) The temperature control accuracy is poor, and overheating can cause skin burning pain or even blisters. Placing too many paper sheets will weaken the effective stimulation of moxibustion on the body. Summary of the invention
[0004] The present invention provides a scald-proof warm acupuncture device capable of automatic temperature control, which can prevent the moxa segment from moving away from the burning position during the warm acupuncture process, thereby reducing the therapeutic effect of the warm acupuncture, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic temperature control, reducing the work intensity of medical staff, and saving personnel costs.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an anti-scalding warm acupuncture device with automatic temperature control, comprising: a microneedle, a needle handle is provided on the top of the microneedle; a positioning sleeve, the positioning sleeve is a straight tube structure sleeved on the outside of the microneedle, and a positioning structure for the microneedle is provided inside the positioning sleeve; a temperature control spring, the temperature control spring is sleeved on the outside of the positioning sleeve, and the bottom of the temperature control spring is fixedly connected to the positioning sleeve; a clamping seat, an axial hole is provided in the center of the clamping seat, and the clamping seat is slidably matched with the top of the positioning sleeve through the axial hole, the bottom of the clamping seat is connected to the top of the temperature control spring, and the bottom of the clamping seat is circumferentially provided with clamping claws.
[0006] Preferably, the positioning sleeve has a circumferential groove on the side wall near the bottom end; it also includes a protective net, which is a hemispherical structure and densely covered with a number of meshes, a positioning hole adapted to the groove is provided in the center of the protective net, and a mounting groove extending to the edge of the protective net is provided on one side of the positioning hole.
[0007] Preferably, the needle handle is provided with an external thread on the outside, the positioning sleeve is provided with an internal thread on the inside, and the positioning sleeve is threadedly matched with the needle handle.
[0008] Preferably, a clamping groove which runs transversely through one side of the positioning sleeve is provided corresponding to the bottom of the temperature control spring, and a retaining spring which matches the clamping groove is provided on the outer sleeve of the positioning sleeve.
[0009] Preferably, a hanging ring is longitudinally arranged on the top of the needle handle; and an adjusting rod is also included, the diameter of the adjusting rod is smaller than the diameter of the needle handle, and one end of the adjusting rod is provided with a hook adapted to the hanging ring, and the other end is provided with a slot adapted to the hanging ring.
[0010] The invention has the beneficial effects that: during the warm acupuncture process, the moxa segment is sleeved outside the temperature control spring and connected to the clamp seat through the clamping claw. After the moxa segment is ignited, the positioning sleeve is connected to the needle handle and fixed in an appropriate position by the positioning structure. At the same time, the positioning sleeve is pulled up to stretch the temperature control spring. Then, the needle is inserted according to the acupuncture point. After the needle is inserted, the height of the positioning sleeve is adjusted so that the burning part of the moxa segment is at an appropriate distance from the skin. At this time, the height setting of the moxa segment is completed. During the warm acupuncture process, as the burning part of the moxa segment moves, different positions of the temperature control spring are baked, so that the stretched part of the temperature control spring is gradually retracted, thereby automatically adjusting the distance between the moxa segment and the skin, avoiding the moxa segment from moving away from the burning position, and reducing the therapeutic effect of warm acupuncture, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic temperature control, reducing the work intensity of medical staff, and saving personnel costs. The protective net is connected to the positioning sleeve in a clamping manner, so it does not affect the needle insertion operation, and the protective net is not only effectively used to prevent the moxa segment ash from falling on the skin, but also the heat emitted by the moxa segment can be well radiated to the skin surface through the protective net, thereby ensuring the effect of warm acupuncture. The threaded positioning sleeve is convenient for improving positioning accuracy and also ensures the restraining force of the positioning sleeve, making it more stable. Alternatively, the clamping spring is against the outer wall of the microneedle through the clamping groove to achieve lateral tightening force, and the positioning sleeve is positioned by using the friction force, so as to facilitate the height position adjustment of the positioning sleeve. The microneedle can be twisted and rotated by the matching of the slot of the adjustment rod and the hanging ring, so as to facilitate the needle application, and the microneedle depth can be fine-tuned by matching the hook and the hanging ring.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] according to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a scald-proof warm acupuncture device with automatic temperature control comprises: a microneedle 1, wherein a needle handle 2 is provided on the top of the microneedle 1; a positioning sleeve 3, wherein the positioning sleeve 3 is a straight tube structure sleeved on the outside of the microneedle 1, and a positioning structure cooperating with the microneedle 1 is provided inside the positioning sleeve 3; a temperature control spring 4, wherein the temperature control spring 4 is sleeved on the outside of the positioning sleeve 3, and the bottom of the temperature control spring 4 is fixedly connected to the positioning sleeve 3; a clamping seat 5, wherein an axial hole is provided in the center of the clamping seat 5, and the clamping seat 5 is slidably matched with the top of the positioning sleeve 3 through the axial hole, the bottom of the clamping seat 5 is connected to the top of the temperature control spring 4, and a clamping claw 6 is circumferentially provided at the bottom of the clamping seat 5.
[0019] When the device is used, it is necessary to first drill a through hole in the center of the moxa segment 16, and the diameter of the through hole is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the temperature control spring 4. Thereafter, during the warm acupuncture process, the moxa segment 16 is sleeved outside the temperature control spring 4 and connected to the clamp seat 5 through the clamping claw 6. After the moxa segment 16 is ignited, the positioning sleeve 3 is connected to the needle handle 2 and fixed in an appropriate position using the positioning structure, and the positioning sleeve 3 is pulled up at the same time to stretch the temperature control spring 4. Then, the needle is inserted according to the acupuncture point. After the needle is inserted, the height of the positioning sleeve 3 is adjusted so that the burning part of the moxa segment 16 is at an appropriate distance from the skin, and the height setting of the moxa segment 16 is completed at this time. During the warm acupuncture process, as the burning part of the moxa segment 16 moves, the different positions of the temperature control spring 4 are baked, so that the stretched part of the temperature control spring 4 is gradually retracted, thereby automatically adjusting the distance between the moxa segment 16 and the skin, avoiding the moxa segment 16 from moving away from the burning position, and reducing the therapeutic effect of warm acupuncture, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic temperature control, reducing the workload of medical staff, and saving personnel costs.

[0021] Through this arrangement, the protective net 7 is connected to the positioning sleeve 3 in a snap-fitting manner, so it does not affect the needle insertion operation. The protective net 7 not only effectively prevents the ashes of the moxa segment 16 from falling on the skin, but also the heat emitted by the moxa segment 16 can be well radiated to the skin surface through the protective net 7, thereby ensuring the effect of warm acupuncture.
[0022] The needle handle 2 is provided with an external thread on the outside, and the positioning sleeve 3 is provided with an internal thread on the inside. The positioning sleeve 3 is threadably matched with the needle handle 2.
[0023] In this arrangement, the threaded positioning sleeve 3 facilitates improving the positioning accuracy and also ensures the restraining force of the positioning sleeve 3, making it more stable.
[0024] A clamping groove 10 is provided on one side of the positioning sleeve 3 corresponding to the bottom of the temperature control spring 4 and runs transversely therethrough, and a retaining spring 11 matching the clamping groove 10 is provided on the outside of the positioning sleeve 3 .
[0025] The clamping spring 11 in this arrangement abuts against the outer wall of the microneedle 1 through the clamping groove 10, thereby realizing a lateral tightening force, and using the friction force to position the positioning sleeve 3, thereby facilitating the height position adjustment of the positioning sleeve 3.
[0026] A hanging ring 12 is longitudinally arranged at the top of the needle handle 2; it also includes an adjusting rod 13, the diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the needle handle 2, and one end of the adjusting rod 13 is provided with a hook 14 adapted to the hanging ring 12, and the other end is provided with a slot 15 adapted to the hanging ring 12.
[0027] By cooperating with the slot 15 of the adjusting rod 13 and the hanging ring 12 , the microneedle 1 can be twisted and rotated, thereby facilitating needle application, and by cooperating with the hook 14 and the hanging ring 12 , the depth of the microneedle 1 can be finely adjusted.
[0028] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
