Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gynecological acupuncture, and in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine acupoint stimulation device for regulating gynecological menstrual cycles. Background Art

[0002] Acupuncture is a therapeutic method that involves the application of acupuncture, moxibustion, drug injection, thread embedding, electrical stimulation, and laser irradiation to acupoints on the human body's meridians. It aims to dredge the meridians, harmonize qi and blood, strengthen the body's resistance and eliminate pathogenic factors, and balance yin and yang to achieve therapeutic effects. Acupuncture has a long history of treating gynecological conditions. The "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Classic" describes acupuncture treatments for 53 gynecological conditions, such as "red and white spots under the breasts are treated with Yaoshu points" and "cold in the female genitals is treated with Guilai points." Modern research demonstrates that acupuncture has multifaceted, multi-level, and multi-pathway regulatory effects. It is commonly used to treat gynecological conditions such as dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and vaginal prolapse. Conditions caused by menstrual irregularities include premature menstruation, late menstruation, irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, metrorrhagia, intermenstrual bleeding, and prolonged menstruation. By stimulating specific acupoints with acupuncture to regulate qi and blood, and internal organ function, it can effectively treat conditions associated with menstrual cycle abnormalities.

[0003] Acupuncture therapy specifically uses needles to insert into the patient's body at a certain angle, and uses acupuncture techniques such as twisting and lifting to stimulate specific parts of the human body to achieve the purpose of treatment. At present, it is mainly performed manually by doctors. However, when treating abnormal menstrual cycles, many acupuncture points need to be acupunctured, and twisting and lifting are also required, which is very time-consuming and laborious for doctors. For this reason, some people have proposed using mechanical devices to replace twisting and lifting. For example, an acupuncture therapy device with mechanical vibration effect disclosed in Publication No. CN103800194A is used to combine a mechanical vibration device with acupuncture silver needles. They are used in combination, but the device has no lifting and inserting effect. For example, CN116270213A discloses an intelligent acupuncture instrument based on real-time monitoring and control that imitates expert techniques, including a first functional module, a second functional module, a third functional module and an intelligent acupuncture instrument shell; the first functional module is an acupuncture clamping unit, the second functional module is an acupuncture needle twisting unit, including a needle twisting and force feedback mechanism, and the third functional module is an acupuncture needle unit, including a feeding needle mechanism. This structure needs to be held in hand and is too large to be applied to acupuncture at multiple acupoints. The above technical solution cannot perform needle-popping operation.

[0004] A Chinese patent with publication number CN119499548A provides a wireless radio stimulation acupuncture device, including: a main body; an acupuncture needle clamp, movably arranged on the main body, for clamping the acupuncture needle to achieve electrical connection; a conductive patch, arranged on the main body, for electrically contacting the target object; a pulse drive module, one end of which is electrically connected to the acupuncture needle clamp, for applying electric pulses to the acupuncture needle through the clamp, and the other end is electrically connected to the conductive patch, cooperating with the body tissue of the target object to conduct the electric pulses to form a loop. This technical solution combines acupuncture needles and electrical stimulation, solving the shortcoming that the electric pulses generated by existing patch electrodes cannot penetrate deeply, but this technical solution does not have functions such as twisting and lifting and inserting, and it is difficult to manually operate the acupuncture needle after the acupuncture needle clamp clamps the acupuncture needle.

[0005] To this end, the inventors provide a Chinese medicine acupuncture point stimulation device that has a compact structure and can be suitable for multiple acupuncture points, and can combine acupuncture needles, electrical stimulation, twisting and lifting and inserting acupuncture techniques to improve the conditioning effect for gynecological menstrual cycle abnormalities. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a TCM acupoint stimulation device for gynecological menstrual cycle regulation to solve the problems raised in the background art. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose and other related purposes, the present invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture point stimulation device for regulating gynecological menstrual cycles, comprising a main body, acupuncture needles, a needle clamp, an electric pulse drive module, and a motor controller. The main body comprises a fixing structure, a motor stator, a motor rotor, a spring, and a clamp fixing disk. The fixing structure is installed on the motor stator, and the fixing structure is used to be connected to the patient's body. The fixing structure is arranged on the motor stator, and the motor rotor is arranged on the motor stator. The motor stator is used to drive the rotation of the motor rotor. The motor controller is connected to the motor stator. The motor rotor is a hollow tubular structure. A spring is provided at the lower end of the motor rotor, and a clamp fixing disk is provided at the upper end of the spring. The needle clamp is connected to the clamp fixing disk, and the needle clamp is used to fix the acupuncture needle. Two electrodes are provided on the electric pulse drive module, one of which is indirectly or directly connected to the acupuncture needle, and the other is directly or indirectly connected to the skin. The electric pulse drive module is used to provide pulse current to the two electrodes.

[0008] The motor controller is configured as follows: the motor controller stores the twisting and lifting and inserting operating programs inside, and the motor controller reads the operating programs to control the operation of the motor stator. When twisting is required, the motor controller controls the motor stator to accelerate the motor rotor to the twisting speed with a first acceleration, then decelerate with the first acceleration, and then reverse, and perform reciprocating execution to complete the twisting operation. The first acceleration must satisfy the axial deformation amplitude of the spring within the first range. When twisting is required, the motor controller controls the motor stator to accelerate the motor rotor to the emergency stop speed with a second acceleration, and then decelerate with the second acceleration. The second acceleration must satisfy the axial deformation amplitude of the spring within the second range to complete the lifting and inserting operation.

[0009] Preferably, the first acceleration is less than 4πrad / s 2 , the first range is within ±1mm, and the second acceleration is greater than 20πrad / s 2 , the second range is within ±2-6mm.

[0010] Preferably, the needle clamp includes an elastic insulating tube, in which a first clip and a second clip are arranged, the first clip and the second clip are both C-shaped, and a clamping gap for fixing the acupuncture needle is provided between the first clip and the second clip. When the elastic insulating tube is squeezed to bend the first clip and the second clip, the clamping gap increases.

[0011] Preferably, an elastic diaphragm is provided on the outer edge of the elastic insulating tube, and a fixing ring is provided on the outer ring of the elastic diaphragm. The fixing ring is detachably connected to the fixture fixing plate.

[0012] Preferably, the fixing ring and the fixture fixing plate are connected by magnetic attraction.

[0013] Preferably, the fixing structure is a soft base, a pressure-sensitive adhesive is provided on the lower side of the soft base, and the electrodes are provided on the lower side of the pressure-sensitive adhesive for direct attachment to the skin.

[0014] Preferably, the fixed structure includes a soft seat and a universally adjustable bracket. A pressure-sensitive adhesive is provided on the lower side of the soft seat for directly adhering to the skin or other stable working surface. The soft seat is connected to the motor stator through the universally adjustable bracket, and the universally adjustable bracket is used to change the working direction of the main body.

[0015] The TCM acupoint stimulation device for regulating gynecological menstrual cycles provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The present invention has a simple structure, a compact size, and is easy to use. By setting up a needle clamp, an electric pulse drive module, a motor controller, a motor stator, a motor rotor, a spring and other structures, when in use, the doctor only needs to find the acupuncture points for acupuncture. After the acupuncture is completed, other personnel operate the traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture point stimulation device, put the main body on the acupuncture needle, adjust the orientation so that the acupuncture needle and the axis of the motor rotor are consistent, fix the fixed structure on the patient's skin or other stable working surface, then pinch the elastic insulating tube, expand the clamping gap, move the elastic insulating tube so that the acupuncture needle is located in the clamping gap, and fix the fixing ring to the clamp fixing plate to complete the installation of the traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture point stimulation device. During the acupuncture needle retention period, the device can automatically complete twisting and lifting and insertion, which reduces the doctor's work and allows the doctor to have more time to treat other patients, improving the treatment efficiency. In addition, the acupuncture needle is used to deeply stimulate the acupuncture points and meridians, and the three work synergistically with twisting, lifting and insertion, and electric stimulation of electric pulses, which is suitable for gynecological menstrual cycle regulation of acupuncture at multiple acupoints.

[0017] 2. By setting up a needle clamp, the acupuncture needle can be clamped conveniently and stably. At the same time, the elastic vibration membrane can avoid the rigid connection between the elastic insulating tube and the clamp fixing plate, and prevent the silver needle from excessive bending. When the needle needs to be ejected, the elastic insulating tube is flicked with a finger, and the elastic vibration membrane and spring allow the acupuncture needle to vibrate, solving the problem that the existing mechanical device cannot eject the needle.

The advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and are not in exact proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clearly illustrate the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0025] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only used to schematically illustrate the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the illustrations only show components related to the present invention rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the status, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed at will, and the component layout status may also be more complicated.

[0026] A Chinese medicine acupuncture point stimulation device for regulating gynecological menstrual cycle, such as Figure 1-3As shown, it includes a main body 1, an acupuncture needle 2, a needle clamp 3, an electric pulse drive module, and a motor controller; the main body 1 includes a fixing structure 11, a motor stator 12, a motor rotor 13, a spring 14, and a clamp fixing disk 15. The fixing structure 11 is installed on the motor stator 12, and the fixing structure 11 is used to be connected to the patient's body. The fixing structure 11 is set on the motor stator 12, and the motor rotor 13 is set on the motor stator 12. The motor stator 12 is used to drive the rotation of the motor rotor 13. The motor controller is connected to the motor stator 12. The motor rotor 13 is a hollow tubular structure. The lower end of the motor rotor 13 is provided with a spring 14, and the upper end of the spring 14 is provided with a clamp fixing disk 15. The needle clamp 3 and the clamp fixing disk 15 are detachable The electric pulse drive module is provided with two electrodes, one of which is provided on the needle clamp 3 or directly connected to the acupuncture needle 2 for connecting the acupuncture needle 2, and the other is provided on the fixed structure 11 for connecting to the skin to realize an electrical path. The electric pulse drive module is used to provide a pulse current to the two electrodes so that the pulse signal can produce a deep electrical stimulation to the meridians and acupuncture points when passing through the human tissue. The motor controller is configured as follows: the running program of twisting and lifting and inserting is stored internally, and the motor controller reads the running program to control the motor stator 12 to work. Specifically, when twisting is required, the motor controller controls the motor stator 12 to work so that the motor rotor 13 Accelerate to the twisting speed with the first acceleration, then decelerate with the first acceleration, and then reverse, and repeat the process to complete the twisting operation. The first acceleration should be small so that the spring 14 has enough time to transmit the rotational force applied by the motor rotor 13 to the upper clamp fixing plate 15, reduce the deformation amplitude of the spring 14, and make the up and down vibration of the clamp fixing plate 15 within an acceptable range while achieving twisting. Generally, the first acceleration is less than 4πrad / s2, and the up and down vibration range of the clamp fixing plate 15 is within ±1mm, that is, the first range of the axial deformation amplitude of the spring 14 is within ±1mm. When twisting is required, the motor controller controls the motor stator 12 to work, so that the motor rotor 13 accelerates to the emergency stop speed with the second acceleration. , and then decelerate with a second acceleration. The second acceleration should be large. Generally, the second acceleration is greater than 20πrad / s2, so that the spring 14 does not have enough time to transmit the rotational force applied by the motor rotor 13 to the upper clamp fixing plate 15, so that the lower end of the spring 14 is deformed and the upper part is delayed in deformation under the inertia of the clamp fixing plate 15, so that the spring 14 produces axial deformation under torsional stress, thereby controlling the up and down vibration of the clamp fixing plate 15. Generally, the up and down vibration range of the fixing plate 15 is ±2-6mm, that is, the axial deformation amplitude of the spring 14 is within the second range of ±2-6mm, which is determined according to the actual acupuncture points and needs, and the lifting and inserting operations are realized by the needle clamp 3 and the acupuncture needle 2.

[0027] In some embodiments, the needle clamp 3 includes an elastic insulating tube 31, and a first clip 32 and a second clip 33 are provided in the elastic insulating tube 31. The first clip 32 and the second clip 33 are both C-shaped. A clamping gap for fixing the acupuncture needle 2 is provided between the first clip 32 and the second clip 33. When the elastic insulating tube 31 is squeezed to bend the first clip 32 and the second clip 33, the clamping gap increases. At this time, the elastic insulating tube 31 can be easily moved so that the acupuncture needle 2 is located in the clamping gap. When the elastic insulating tube 31 is released, the first clip 32 and the second clip 33 become straight. The clamping gap is reduced and the acupuncture needle 2 is stably clamped. The outer edge of the elastic insulating tube 31 is provided with an elastic vibration membrane 34. The outer ring of the elastic vibration membrane 34 is provided with a fixing ring 35. The fixing ring 35 is detachably connected to the clamp fixing disk 15. In some embodiments, the fixing ring 35 and the clamp fixing disk 15 are connected by magnetic attraction. The elastic vibration membrane 34 is provided to avoid a rigid connection between the elastic insulating tube 31 and the clamp fixing disk 15, to avoid excessive bending of the silver needle, and when the needle needs to be flicked, the elastic insulating tube 31 is flicked with a finger. The elastic vibration membrane 34 and the spring 14 allow the acupuncture needle 2 to vibrate.

[0028] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the fixing structure 11 is a soft base, the lower side of the soft base is provided with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, and the electrode is provided on the lower side of the pressure-sensitive adhesive for direct attachment to the skin, and is suitable for acupuncture needles 2 that vertically penetrate the skin. In other embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the fixed structure 11 includes a soft seat and a universally adjustable bracket 111. A pressure-sensitive adhesive is provided on the lower side of the soft seat for directly adhering to the skin or other stable working surfaces. The soft seat is connected to the motor stator 12 through the universally adjustable bracket 111. The universally adjustable bracket 111 is used to change the working direction of the main body 1, which is suitable for acupuncture needles 2 that are not inserted vertically into the skin.

[0029] During use, the doctor will find the acupuncture points for acupuncture. After the acupuncture is completed, other personnel such as nurses will operate the traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture stimulation device, put the main body 1 on the acupuncture needle 2, adjust the orientation so that the acupuncture needle 2 is consistent with the axis of the motor rotor 13, fix the fixed structure 11 on the patient's skin or other stable work surface, then pinch the elastic insulating tube 31 to bend the first clip 32 and the second clip 33 to expand the clamping gap, move the elastic insulating tube 31 so that the acupuncture needle 2 is located in the clamping gap, and fix the fixing ring 35 to the clamp fixing plate 15 to complete the installation of the traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture stimulation device. The twisting and lifting and insertion operating procedures are set in advance for each acupuncture point. During the retention period of the acupuncture needle 2, the twisting and lifting and insertion are automatically completed, which reduces the doctor's work.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and are not limiting. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
