Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of therapeutic instruments, and in particular to a transcranial facial acupuncture and stimulator. Background Art

[0002] Mechanical stimulation of a certain frequency using specially designed needles in specific areas of the skull surface is an interventional treatment method that combines traditional acupuncture with modern neuroscience. It regulates brain function by using mechanical force from acupuncture or pressure, combined with percussion stimulation of a certain frequency, acting on specific parts of the skull surface, such as acupoints or nerve reflex areas.

[0003] In the existing technology, Western medicine's non-invasive transcranial stimulation treatment methods include transcranial magnetism, transcranial light, and transcranial electricity. However, the effects of most transcranial stimulation technologies last for a short time and require repeated treatments. Patient compliance is low, which leads to unstable long-term efficacy. At the same time, electromagnetic noise will also reduce medical comfort.

[0004] Traditional Chinese medicine treatment corresponds to head acupuncture. First, traditional head acupuncture mostly stimulates the scalp at the acupuncture points on the head. Based on the meridian theory, it regulates brain function by puncturing specific acupuncture points on the scalp. However, traditional head acupuncture relies on manual stimulation and cannot achieve precise regulation. At the same time, the stimulation intensity and frequency are difficult to quantify. Secondly, the efficacy of traditional head acupuncture is attributed to the dredging of meridians, but there is a lack of neuroelectrophysiological evidence, and it is difficult to quantify the Qi effect. The medical effect depends on the subjective judgment of the physician, resulting in unclear mechanism of action of the treatment process and lack of quantitative evaluation, which in turn makes it impossible to observe the dynamic treatment process, weakening the neuroregulatory effect. Finally, the penetration depth of traditional head acupuncture is limited, and it only acts on the galea aponeurotica. The stimulation intensity is low, and the regulatory effect on deep brain areas is weak. It cannot directly affect the intracranial neural electrical activity, and thus cannot achieve the intracranial stimulation effect.

[0005] Therefore, a transcranial facial acupuncture and stimulator are provided to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a transcranial facial acupuncture and stimulator that can achieve rapid penetration and safe stimulation, while also enabling long-term continuous treatment and a wide range of frequency adjustment, thereby improving patient tolerance and reducing treatment errors caused by individual patient differences.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides a transcranial facial acupuncture needle and stimulator, comprising a needle body assembly and a stimulator arranged on the top of the needle body assembly, the stimulator comprising a cylindrical shell, a shell end cover arranged on the top of the cylindrical shell and a silicone stimulation head arranged at the bottom of the cylindrical shell, a battery and a telescopic motor are arranged inside the cylindrical shell, the battery is arranged on a side close to the shell end cover, and a piston is arranged at the bottom of the telescopic motor.

[0008] Preferably, the needle body combination includes a transcranial surface needle body, a non-woven dressing patch and a needle tail silicone, the needle tail silicone is arranged at the tail end of the transcranial surface needle body, the non-woven dressing patch is arranged in the middle of the transcranial surface needle body, the tip of the transcranial surface needle body is sharpened, and a boss is arranged behind the blade.

[0009] Preferably, an air cavity is provided between the piston and the silicone stimulation head.

[0010] Preferably, the thickness of the center of the silicone stimulation head is greater than the thickness of the edge of the silicone stimulation head, and the central end of the silicone stimulation head is concave inward.

[0011] Preferably, a hidden adjustment knob is provided at the outer top of the cylindrical shell, a control circuit board is provided at the inner top of the cylindrical shell, a potentiometer is provided on the control circuit board, the hidden adjustment knob is fixedly connected to the potentiometer, and the positional relationship between the hidden adjustment knob and the cylindrical shell is set to be coaxial.

[0024] Example

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a transcranial facial acupuncture and stimulator, including a needle body assembly 4 and a stimulator arranged on the top of the needle body assembly 4, and the needle body assembly 4 and the stimulator are detachably connected.

[0026] The needle assembly 4 includes a transcranial needle 401, a non-woven dressing 402, and a silicone needle tail 403. The transcranial needle 401 is sharpened at the tip, with a boss behind the blade to prevent the needle from penetrating too deeply into the skull. The transcranial needle 401 has a larger tail end and a smaller middle portion. The silicone needle tail 403 is located at the tail end of the transcranial needle 401 and works with the stimulator for safe mechanical stimulation. The non-woven dressing 402 is located in the middle of the transcranial needle 401 to secure the needle after insertion and facilitate needle retention.

[0027] The stimulator includes a cylindrical shell 1, a shell end cover 2 arranged at the top of the cylindrical shell 1, and a silicone stimulation head 3 arranged at the bottom of the cylindrical shell 1. A battery 5 and a telescopic motor 6 are arranged inside the cylindrical shell 1. The battery 5 is arranged on a side close to the shell end cover 2, and a piston 7 is arranged at the bottom of the telescopic motor 6.

[0028] The function of the cylindrical shell 1 is to fix the remaining parts, and at the same time form a closed air cavity 8 with the silicone stimulation head 3 and the piston 7. The thickness of the center of the silicone stimulation head 3 is greater than the thickness of the edge of the silicone stimulation head 3. The central end of the silicone stimulation head 3 is concave inward to follow the shape of the needle tail silicone 403.

[0029] A hidden adjustment knob 9 is provided at the outer top of the cylindrical shell 1, and a control circuit board 10 is provided at the inner top of the cylindrical shell 1. A potentiometer is provided on the control circuit board 10. The potentiometer is used to control the speed of the telescopic motor 6, and then adjust the telescopic frequency of the telescopic motor 6 and the stimulation frequency of the silicone stimulation head 3.

[0030] The hidden adjusting knob 9 is fixedly connected to the potentiometer, and the positional relationship between the hidden adjusting knob 9 and the cylindrical housing 1 is set to be coaxial. The hidden adjusting knob 9 is used to adjust the rotation speed of the telescopic motor 6.

[0031] A display screen 11 is provided on the housing end cover 2 . A signal line and a power line are provided on the display screen 11 . Both the signal line and the power line are connected to the control circuit board 10 . The display screen 11 can display the working status and stimulation frequency.

[0032] A switch button 12 is provided in the center of the display screen 11 , and a touch switch 13 is provided on the control circuit board 10 . The switch button 12 abuts against the touch switch 13 to turn the stimulator on or off.

[0033] The telescopic motor 6 uses a DC brush motor and a two-stage gear reduction to drive a reciprocating screw, thereby driving the end of the slider to perform telescopic movement. The power supply of the telescopic motor 6 and the control circuit board 10 is a battery 5.

[0034] In the early stage of the test, the skull model 14 is used to simulate the patient's scalp to perform a performance test on the transcranial facial needle and stimulator. After the test is completed, the needle is put into use. In actual use, the patient's hair is cut off as needed to expose the scalp, and the transcranial facial needle body 401 is inserted into the skull surface through the scalp. The non-woven dressing 402 is smoothed and fixed to fix the transcranial facial needle body 401. Long press the switch button 12 to turn on the stimulator, and rotate the hidden adjustment knob 9 to adjust to a specific frequency as needed. Short press the switch button 12, and the stimulator starts working: the telescopic motor 6 drives the piston 7 to reciprocate, and the reciprocating motion of the piston 7 Positive and negative pressure changes of the same frequency will be formed in the air cavity 8 between the piston 7 and the silicone stimulation head 3. Since the edge of the silicone stimulation head 3 is thinner, the thicker middle part of the silicone stimulation head 3 can effectively follow the changing positive and negative pressure to vibrate back and forth. The concave part in the middle of the silicone stimulation head 3 at the bottom of the stimulator is aligned with the needle tail silicone 403, and the edge of the silicone stimulation head 3 lightly touches the patient's head. Since the silicone stimulation head 3 vibrates under the change of air pressure rather than purely mechanical knocking, it can provide soft mechanical stimulation to the transcranial needle body 401, thereby achieving the purpose of safe, comfortable and effective treatment.

[0035] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned transcranial facial head needle and stimulator, and designs a special structure for the needle body to achieve rapid penetration and safe stimulation, while ensuring the stability of the needle retention and realizing long-term continuous treatment; through the piston-silicone head air cavity to form positive and negative pressure changes, drive the silicone head to vibrate, and transmit soft mechanical waves to the head needle, thereby improving patient tolerance; by adjusting the frequency to match different neural regulation needs, a wide range of frequency adjustment is achieved, reducing treatment errors caused by individual differences among patients.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the method scheme of the present invention and not to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary method personnel in this field should understand that they can still modify or replace the method scheme of the present invention with equivalents, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot cause the modified method scheme to deviate from the spirit and scope of the method scheme of the present invention.
