[0016] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0017] Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the cupping machine of the present application; Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the cupping machine of the present application; Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the tank body 41 of the present application; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the connection relationship of some modules. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention in combination with the embodiments and drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by technicians in this field without creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, all the connection / connection relationships involved in the patent do not refer to the direct connection of components, but refer to the formation of a better connection structure by adding or reducing connection accessories according to the specific implementation situation. The various technical features in the invention can be combined interchangeably without conflicting with each other.

[0019] In the existing technology, cupping requires a relatively high level of technical experience. For example, the positioning deviation of the cup may affect the therapeutic effect of cupping; moving cupping requires the technician to have high skills and strength control ability. If the operation is improper, it may cause the cup body to slide unsmoothly on the skin surface or even scratch the skin. In addition, the cupping techniques and strength of different technicians may vary, making it difficult to ensure the consistency of the therapeutic effect.

[0020] Reference Figures 1 to 4 Figures 1 to 4 , to solve the above technical problems, this embodiment provides a cupping machine, including: a main body part 1, a robotic arm 2, a cupping module 4, and a control module 6. A negative pressure generating device 11 is provided inside the main body part 1; the robotic arm 2 is arranged above the main body part 1. A driving module 3 for driving the movement of the robotic arm 2 is provided inside the robotic arm 2. One end of the robotic arm 2 away from the main body part 1 is connected to the cupping module 4. The cupping module 4 includes a can body 41. The robotic arm 2 is used to drive the can body 41 to contact the user's skin and / or drive the can body 41 to move on the user's skin surface; The cupping module 4 is connected to the negative pressure generating device 11, and the negative pressure generating device 11 is used to form a negative pressure environment inside the can body 41; A control module 6, which is signal-connected to the driving module 3 and the negative pressure generating device 11. The control module 6 is used to control the pressure value of the can body 41 and the cupping duration of the can body 41.

[0021] During use, the user lies prone on the bed, moves the cupping machine to the side of the bed. The driving module 3 drives the robotic arm 2 downward until the can body 41 fits against the skin at the user's acupoint. The negative pressure generating device 11 is activated to form a negative pressure environment inside the can body 41 for cupping; or the driving module 3 drives the robotic arm 2 to move on the user's skin surface for moving cupping treatment to promote blood circulation. Moving cupping often requires an experienced technician to complete well in traditional cupping, while the cupping machine in this embodiment can stably and flexibly achieve this operation; at the same time, the control module 3 is used to control the pressure value of the can body and the cupping duration. Compared with manual cupping in the prior art, this application combines program control with mechanical structure improvement to realize automatic control of cupping operations, making the cupping duration and cupping pressure more accurate, reducing skin damage and user pain caused by insufficient technician experience, and creating a more comfortable cupping experience for users.

[0022] Among them, the control module 6 in this application can accurately control the pressure value inside the can body 41; for different diseases and the different requirements of the user's constitution for cupping pressure, the cupping machine in this embodiment can be adjusted to an appropriate pressure according to specific situations, avoiding skin damage caused by excessive pressure or affecting the treatment effect due to too small pressure.

[0023] In terms of safety and hygiene, compared with traditional manual cupping, the cupping machine in this embodiment reduces the direct contact between the technician and the user's skin, reducing the risk of cross-infection, and is especially suitable for places with high requirements for public health environments, such as hospitals, health preservation halls, etc.

[0024] In one embodiment, a vision detection module 21 is provided on the robotic arm 2. The vision detection module 21 is disposed adjacent to the cupping module 4, and the vision detection module 21 moves synchronously with the cupping module 4. The vision detection module 21 is communicatively connected to the drive module 3. The vision detection module 21 is used to obtain the position information of the acupoints to be cupped. The drive module 3 is configured to control the cupping module 4 to move to the acupoint to be cupped based on the position information of the cupping acupoint fed back by the vision detection module 21.

[0025] Before cupping, the vision detection module 21 can be used to obtain the body posture characteristics of the user and the position information of the acupoints to be cupped. During the cupping operation, the synchronous movement design enables the vision detection module 21 and the cupping module 4 to always remain consistent, avoiding poor cupping effects or misoperations caused by position deviations. When the robotic arm 2 drives the cupping module 4 to move, the vision detection module 21 moves synchronously with the cupping module 4, accurately grasping that the cupping module 4 has moved to the acupoint to be cupped. Furthermore, the communication connection between the vision detection module 21 and the drive module 3 enables the cupping module 4 to quickly respond and move to the position information of the target acupoint. The vision detection module 21 can obtain the acupoint position information in real time and feedback it to the drive module 3 to ensure that the cupping module 4 always accurately moves to the target acupoint. This not only reduces the time for manual positioning and adjustment but also further ensures the safety of the treatment process and improves the automation level of this cupping machine.

[0026] Specifically, the position information of the acupoints to be cupped refers to the specific meridian / acupoint positions on the human body epidermis where the technician currently plans to perform cupping operations. This position can correspond to specific physiological characteristics and treatment requirements. For example, when the user selects the Jianjing acupoint, the above cupping jar control system will identify this acupoint as the target acupoint.

[0027] The cupping machine in this embodiment can replace traditional cupping physiotherapy and customize physiotherapy according to the differences of each person. It enables users to learn to use it faster through the vision detection module 21 or manual positioning. Users can control several devices simultaneously, reducing the staffing.

[0028] Specifically, the vision detection module 21 is a camera device.

[0029] In one embodiment, the cupping module 4 further includes a real-time pressure detection module 43 disposed on the main body portion 1. The real-time pressure detection module 43 is communicatively connected to the can body 41. The real-time pressure detection module 43 is used to detect the negative pressure value inside the can body 41 to avoid the negative pressure value inside the can body 41 being too large or too small. If the negative pressure inside the can is too large, it may cause excessive congestion and pain in the patient's skin, and even cause damage. At this time, the real-time pressure monitoring module can monitor the negative pressure value in real time. Once the negative pressure exceeds the safe range, the system can take measures in time to reduce the negative pressure to avoid harm to the patient and ensure the safety of the treatment process; if the negative pressure is insufficient, the ideal cupping effect cannot be achieved. The real-time pressure monitoring module 43 can detect the situation of insufficient negative pressure in the can body 41 in time and notify the drive module 3 to make adjustments to ensure the effectiveness of the cupping treatment.

[0030] In this embodiment, the real-time pressure monitoring module 43 obtains the negative pressure value inside the can body 41 in real time, adjusts the negative pressure of the can body 41 in time, and ensures that the negative pressure during cupping is within an appropriate treatment range, so that the cupping stimulation reaches the best treatment effect; moreover, for different patients and different acupoints, the tolerance and requirements for cupping negative pressure are different. By real-time monitoring the negative pressure value, the cupping machine can flexibly adjust the negative pressure according to the specific situation of the patient, realizing personalized cupping treatment and improving the pertinence and effectiveness of the treatment.

[0031] In one embodiment, the robotic arm 2 further includes a real-time tension detection module 23. The real-time tension detection module 23 is communicatively connected to the drive module 3 and the can body 41; the real-time tension detection module 23 is used to detect the real-time tension value of the can body 41 when the robotic arm 2 lifts the can body 41 in real time, and feedback the real-time tension value to the drive module 3. The drive module 3 receives the real-time tension value fed back by the real-time tension detection module 23 and dynamically adjusts the height at which the robotic arm 2 drives the can body 41 to lift according to the real-time tension value.

[0032] The curative effect of cupping is closely related to the magnitude of the tension. Appropriate tension can effectively promote blood circulation, dredge the meridians, and relieve muscle tension, thus achieving the treatment effect; moreover, different people have different tolerances for tension. By controlling the tension, the appropriate tension value can be adjusted for different people to ensure the safety and effectiveness of cupping. Excessive tension may cause excessive stretching of the skin or excessive blood stasis, and even cause blisters or pain; in this embodiment, the real-time tension monitoring module 23 controls the tension, which can ensure that the adsorption force of the can body is moderate and avoid unnecessary harm to the skin.

[0033] In one embodiment, the can body 41 includes a housing 411. An installation groove 412 is provided inside the housing, and a heating module 413 for heating the housing 411 is provided in the installation groove 412.

[0034] In the prior art, the cold can body 41 directly contacts the human skin, causing certain irritation to the user. Especially when the cupping machine operates fully automatically, when the can body 41 initially contacts the skin, if the user's reaction is large and the body shakes, it will cause a certain deviation between the acupoints and the acupoints to be cupped, affecting the cupping effect. In this embodiment, before using the can body 41, the housing can be preheated through the heating module 413, and then the warm housing 42 is buckled onto the acupoint skin of the user. When the can body 41 initially contacts the skin, there is no irritation to the user, which can reduce the shaking of the body caused by the cold stimulation of the can body, thereby reducing the possibility of cupping acupoint deviation and avoiding affecting the cupping physiotherapy effect.

[0035] Furthermore, integrating the heating module 413 into the housing 42 can reduce the risk of scalding the user caused by the loosening or falling off of the heating module 413 during use, and extend the service life of the product.

[0036] Specifically, the heating module 413 is a common heating body, such as a mica heating plate, an MCH ceramic heating component, a silicone rubber heating plate, etc.

[0037] Specifically, a temperature sensor can be provided on the housing 42 to monitor the temperature of the housing 42 in real time.

[0038] Specifically, the function of the installation groove 412 is to install the heating module 413, and it can also serve to fix the relative position relationship between the heating module 413 and the housing 42. Further understood, the installation groove 412 can prevent the heating module 413 from shifting during the movement of the can body.

[0039] In one embodiment, the housing 411 has a can mouth for directly contacting the human skin, and the installation groove is provided on the periphery of the can mouth. This layout can make the heat of the heating module 413 be transferred to each part of the can body more directly and evenly, avoiding local overheating and improving the heating efficiency; Compared with setting the installation groove 412 at a position far from the can mouth, the heating module 413 in the installation groove 412 needs to generate more heat to ensure that the temperature transmitted to the can mouth through the housing 42 is appropriate. In this way, although the comfort of the user during cupping is also guaranteed, there will be a lot of energy loss for the heating module 413. In this embodiment, the installation groove 412 is provided on the periphery of the can mouth, which means that the heating module 413 is also provided on the periphery of the can mouth, reducing the energy loss of the heating module 413. And compared with the heating module 413 directly contacting the human body, there is a layer of isolation of the housing 42 between the human skin and the heating module 413, which can prevent the heating module 413 from scalding the skin, reducing the safety hazard and making the product safer and more reliable to use.

[0040] Further, the heat generation center of the heating module 413 is provided on the side of the heating module 413 close to the can mouth, and the installation groove 412 and the heating module 413 are distributed at intervals along the circumferential side of the can mouth 3.

[0041] In one embodiment, an input module 5 is provided on the main body portion 1. The input module 5 is communicatively connected to the driving module 3, the visual detection module 21, the pressure real-time detection module 43, the tensile force real-time detection module 23, and the heating module 413. The input module 5 is used for a user to input preset parameters associated with the driving module 3, the visual detection module 21, the pressure real-time detection module 43, and the tensile force real-time detection module 23.

[0042] The user can, according to their own needs and physical conditions, set preset parameters related to the driving module 3, the visual detection module 21, the pressure real-time detection module 43, the tensile force real-time detection module 23, and the heating module 413 through the input module 5.

[0043] For example, the user can set appropriate negative pressure values, tensile force values, heating temperatures, etc., so that the cupping process more meets personal needs, improves the treatment effect, and can achieve intelligent and automated operations.

[0044] In one embodiment, a calculation module 7 communicatively connected to the input module 5 and the control module 6 is further included. The calculation module 7 is used to compare the preset parameters in the input module 5 with the data real-time fed back by the visual detection module 21, the pressure real-time detection module 43, and the tensile force real-time detection module 23, calculate an adjustment value, and adjust the visual detection module 21, the pressure real-time monitoring module 43, and the tensile force real-time detection module 23 to be consistent with the predetermined parameters based on the adjustment value.

[0045] For example: during the cupping process, the pressure value inside the can body 41 detected by the pressure real-time monitoring module 43 is compared with the preset parameters, and an adjustment value is obtained through the calculation of the calculation module 7. The control module 6 is communicatively connected to the calculation module 7. The control module 6 adjusts the negative pressure generating device 11 according to the adjustment value, so that the pressure value inside the can body 41 is consistent with the pressure value fed back by the pressure real-time monitoring module 43.

[0046] Another example is that when air enters the can body and the posture may be unstable during the lifting and cupping process, the tensile force real-time detection module 23 can detect unstable tensile force, so that the driving module 3 adjusts the cupping angle of the robotic arm 2, and cooperates with the negative pressure generating device 11 to continuously evacuate the can body. The tensile force real-time detection module 23 and the pressure real-time detection module 43 feed back data to the calculation module 7 in real time, so as to ensure the cupping treatment effect.

[0047] Moreover, the user can set an automated treatment process, and the device automatically adjusts the working states of each module according to preset parameters, reducing manual intervention and improving the accuracy and consistency of treatment; during the cupping treatment process, the user can adjust various parameters during cupping at any time according to their own feelings and needs, making the cupping process more comfortable and safe, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0048] Specifically, the input module 5 is a control panel.

[0049] In one embodiment, the preset parameters include the pressure value of the tank body 41, the speed at which the driving module 3 drives the tank body 41 to move around, the cupping depth, the angle of the tank body 41 during cupping, and the temperature of the heating module 413.

[0050] According to different acupoint or disease requirements, set the pressure of the tank body 41, the moving speed of the tank body 41, and the angle of the tank body 41 during cupping, so as to simulate the standardized operation of manual techniques; for the anatomical structures of different acupoints, the angle of the tank body can also be automatically adjusted to ensure the maximization of the adsorption effect.

[0051] In one embodiment, the tank body 41 includes a connection head 414. One end of the connection head 414 is connected to the robotic arm 2, and the other end is detachably connected to the tank body 41; the user can replace the tank body with different sizes or types according to different treatment needs, so as to avoid the inability to form a negative pressure environment inside the tank body 41 due to the non-fitting of the tank mouth and the skin; for example, when cupping at joints, a tank body with a smaller tank mouth can be used, and when cupping on the large area of the back, a tank body with a larger tank mouth can be used, further improving the treatment effect. The unique quick switching can perform the switching of the tank body according to various different needs, replace the tank body, and improve the versatility of the device.

[0052] Furthermore, a joint identification module 8 communicatively connected to the control module 6 can be provided in the connection head 414. When the joint identification module 8 identifies that the corresponding connection head 414 is the joint of a small-diameter or large-diameter tank body, the joint identification module 8 sends a signal to the control module 6, and the control module 6 adjusts the power of the negative pressure generating device 11 corresponding to the volume of the tank body. For example, when it is necessary to treat the joint position of a thin-skin area (such as the back of the hand, neck), at this time, the connection head 414 corresponding to the small-diameter tank body is connected to the robotic arm 2, the joint identification module 8 identifies the connection head 414 corresponding to the small-diameter tank body, and controls the power of the negative pressure generating device 11 within a smaller range (such as 0.03 MPa); when it is necessary to treat the joint position of a thick-muscle area (such as the back, thigh), at this time, the connection head 414 corresponding to the large-diameter tank body is connected to the robotic arm 2, the joint identification module 8 identifies the connection head 414 corresponding to the large-diameter tank body, and increases the power control of the negative pressure generating device 11 (such as 0.06 MPa).

[0053] In one embodiment, a sound insulation cover 111 is sleeved outside the negative pressure generating device 11. The sound insulation cover 111 is used to reduce the noise emitted by the negative pressure generating device 11. For users, the setting of the sound insulation cover 111 can keep the patient still and relaxed. The reduction of noise can reduce the sense of anxiety and improve the treatment compliance. For the operation technician operating this device, the sound insulation cover 111 can reduce the noise fatigue during their long-term operation and reduce the hearing damage caused to them.

[0054] The above is a specific description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.

These equivalent deformations or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
