Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a Yongquan acupoint patch device that combines drug penetration promotion and sleep monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] Yongquan (KI 1) is the Jing-well point of the Kidney Meridian of Foot-Shaoyin, a place where Yin and Yang meet. Stimulating Yongquan can cause the floating fire of the heart to descend and warm the kidney water, and can also calm the excessive Yang Qi of the liver and soothe the liver, thus playing the role of guiding fire back to its source and balancing Yin and Yang. Clinically, Yongquan acupoint patch is often used to treat patients with sleep disorders of Yin deficiency and fire excess.

[0003] However, existing techniques for applying patches to the Yongquan acupoint have the following limitations: First, patients have significant thickness of the stratum corneum on the soles of their feet, which limits the transdermal penetration rate of the drug and makes it difficult to improve the efficacy of the drug; second, traditional adhesive tape fixation methods are prone to falling off at night due to changes in body position, which not only interrupts continuous drug administration but also poses a risk of soiling bedding; third, the adhesive components of the tape may cause contact dermatitis or mechanical irritation in patients, interfering with sleep quality and reducing patient acceptance and compliance.

[0004] Meanwhile, currently available acupoint patch aids have limited functionality and fail to address key issues such as penetration efficiency, mechanical fixation, and biocompatibility, and are also incompatible with sleep monitoring needs. With the development of sleep medicine, patients' demand for integrated "treatment-monitoring" solutions is becoming increasingly prominent.

[0005] In summary, there is an urgent need to develop a precise drug delivery device for the Yongquan acupoint that integrates transdermal permeation technology, biomechanical fixation, and a non-invasive sleep monitoring module, so as to ensure efficient drug delivery while achieving a painless treatment process and quantitative assessment of sleep quality.

Furthermore, the device can heat the drug at the Yongquan acupoint, promoting drug penetration and enhancing its stimulating effect. Since the Yongquan acupoint patch is typically applied before sleep and removed upon waking, coinciding with sleep time, the device is equipped with a sleep monitoring module to continuously record the patient's sleep patterns. Finally, the device includes an electrical stimulation function, enabling electrotherapy massage of the patient's soles before sleep.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, the present invention discloses a Yongquan acupoint patch device that combines drug penetration promotion and sleep monitoring, comprising: a component shell, a main board, and a back cover; the component shell is fixedly connected to the back cover; the main board is fixedly disposed between the component shell and the back cover; the main board is electrically connected to the component shell; a drug placement groove is provided on the front of the component shell; the drug placement groove can hold Yongquan acupoint patch drugs. Furthermore, a heating groove is fixedly provided on the motherboard, and the heating groove is correspondingly sleeved on the outside of the medicine placement groove; Furthermore, a sleep monitoring sensor is fixedly mounted on the front of the component housing; a sleep monitoring module is fixedly mounted on the motherboard; and the sleep monitoring module is electrically connected to the sleep monitoring sensor. Furthermore, an electrical stimulation contact is fixedly disposed on the front side of the component housing; an electrotherapy component is fixedly disposed on the main board; and the electrical stimulation contact is electrically connected to the electrotherapy component. Furthermore, straps are fixedly provided on both sides of the component housing; the straps are fixedly connected with strap buckles; Furthermore, the motherboard is equipped with a Bluetooth module; the Bluetooth module can connect to a mobile app, allowing interaction with the motherboard through the mobile app.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention; obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0017] Example 1 This invention discloses a Yongquan acupoint patch device that combines drug penetration promotion and sleep monitoring, with reference to... Figures 1 to 6 It includes: component housing 1, main board 2 and rear cover 3; component housing 1 and rear cover 3 are fixedly connected, and main board 2 is fixedly set between component housing 1 and rear cover 3, and the main board 2 and component housing 1 are electrically connected to ensure signal transmission and power supply between various functional modules inside the device.

[0018] On the front of the component housing 1, a medicine placement slot 101 is designed. The internal space of the medicine placement slot 101 is adapted to the dimensions of common Yongquan acupoint plasters, which can stably place the medicine and make it fit tightly against the Yongquan acupoint, ensuring that the medicine will not shift or fall off during use. Furthermore, a heating slot 201 is fixedly installed on the main board 2. The shape and position of the heating slot 201 match the medicine placement slot 101, and it can be precisely fitted onto the outside of the medicine placement slot 101. Heating the medicine through the heating slot 201 can effectively promote the penetration of the drug components, enhance the stimulation effect of the medicine on the acupoint, and thus improve the therapeutic effect.

[0019] To enable sleep monitoring, a sleep monitoring sensor 102 is fixedly mounted on the front of the component housing 1. These sensors can collect sleep-related physiological signals in real time, such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and body movement. Meanwhile, a sleep monitoring module 202 is fixedly mounted on the motherboard 2. This module works in conjunction with the sleep monitoring sensor 102 via an electrical connection, processing and analyzing the collected physiological signals to accurately assess the user's sleep quality. The monitored data is stored internally or transmitted to an external device via Bluetooth module 204.

[0020] In addition, electrical stimulation contacts 103 are fixedly mounted on the front of the component housing 1. These contacts come into contact with the skin of the sole of the foot and can transmit electrical stimulation signals. An electrotherapy component 203 is fixedly mounted on the main board 2, and the electrical stimulation contacts 103 are electrically connected to the electrotherapy component 203. By controlling the intensity and mode of electrical stimulation through the electrotherapy component 203, electrotherapy massage can be performed on the soles of the feet before the patient goes to sleep, which helps to relax muscles, improve blood circulation, and thus improve sleep quality.

[0021] Finally, to ensure the device is securely fixed to the patient's foot, straps 4 are fixedly installed on both sides of the component housing 1. The straps 4 are made of soft and elastic material to adapt to different foot sizes. The ends of the straps 4 are fixedly connected to strap buckles 401, which allow for easy adjustment of the tightness of the straps 4, ensuring that the device will not loosen or fall off during use, while also avoiding excessive pressure on the foot, thus guaranteeing wearing comfort.

[0022] Example 2 The Yongquan acupoint application device of this invention can connect to a mobile APP via Bluetooth module 204, allowing users to fully control and monitor the device's status. Through the APP, users can adjust the heating function by setting the temperature of the heating tank 201 using a slider or input box. The temperature range can be preset according to the properties of the medication and usage requirements, for example, 30℃ - 50℃. The APP displays the current heating temperature in real time and sends temperature commands to the device's mainboard 2 via Bluetooth module 204. The mainboard 2 controls the heating element of the heating tank 201 to operate at the set temperature. Simultaneously, users can also set the heating duration, such as 30 minutes, 60 minutes, etc. When the heating time reaches the set value, the device automatically stops heating.

[0023] For the electrical stimulation function, users can adjust the intensity and mode of the electrical stimulation via an app. The intensity adjustment range can be set according to the user's tolerance and treatment needs, such as multiple levels from low to high intensity. The mode selection includes different electrical stimulation waveforms, such as pulse waves and sine waves, to meet different treatment needs. Users can select the appropriate intensity and mode according to their own feelings and needs. The app will send these settings to the device's mainboard 2 via Bluetooth module 204. The mainboard 2 controls the electrotherapy component 203 to work according to the set parameters.

[0024] In the sleep monitoring module 202, the app receives real-time sleep monitoring data collected by the device, including physiological signals such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and body movement. This data is transmitted to the app's backend for processing and analysis, generating a detailed sleep quality report. The report includes information such as sleep duration, the ratio of deep sleep to light sleep, and the number of sleep interruptions. Users can view these reports in the app's sleep monitoring module 202 to understand their sleep status. In addition, the app can also provide personalized sleep improvement suggestions based on the user's sleep data, such as adjusting sleep schedules and improving the sleep environment.

[0025] The working principle and usage procedure of this device are as follows: The core working principle of the device is to heat the medicine in the medicine placement tank 101 through the heating tank 201. The heated medicine can penetrate the stratum corneum of the skin more effectively, thereby enhancing the stimulation effect of the drug components on acupoints and improving the therapeutic effect. Simultaneously, the electrical stimulation function transmits specific current signals to the soles of the feet through electrical stimulation contacts 103, simulating a massage effect, promoting blood circulation, and further enhancing the acupoint stimulation effect. In addition, the device is equipped with a sleep monitoring sensor 102, which can collect the user's sleep-related physiological signals in real time, such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and body movement. The sleep monitoring module 202 analyzes and processes these signals to generate a sleep quality report, providing a basis for health management. The device's Bluetooth module 204 enables connection to a mobile APP, allowing users to remotely control the device's heating temperature, electrical stimulation intensity, and view sleep monitoring data through the APP, achieving intelligent health management.

[0026] When using this device, the user first needs to secure the strap 4 to the sole of the foot, ensuring the device fits firmly and comfortably against the Yongquan acupoint. Next, place the medication for the Yongquan acupoint into the medication tray 101, ensuring the medication adheres closely to the acupoint to guarantee therapeutic effect. After the device is activated, the heating tray 201 on the mainboard 2 begins operation, heating the medication. The heating temperature and time can be adjusted via a mobile app to suit the penetration needs of different medications and user comfort. Simultaneously, the electrical stimulation function can be activated according to user needs, and the intensity and mode of electrical stimulation can also be adjusted via the app to achieve optimal massage and acupoint stimulation effects. During nighttime use, the device's sleep monitoring function automatically activates. The sleep monitoring sensor 102 continuously collects the user's sleep-related physiological signals and transmits the data to the sleep monitoring module 202 on the mainboard 2 for analysis and processing. The user can view real-time sleep monitoring data and generated sleep quality reports on the mobile app to understand their sleep status. Through the Bluetooth module 204, the user can also adjust the device's heating and electrical stimulation parameters at any time to ensure comfort and therapeutic effect during use. After use, the user simply removes the medication from the medication compartment 101, loosens the strap 4, removes the device, and cleans and recharges it for the next use.
