Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine medical device technology, specifically to a special medicine jar for treating neck, shoulder, back and leg pain in conjunction with traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Neck, shoulder, lower back, and leg pain is a common chronic pain syndrome in clinical practice. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that its pathogenesis is related to factors such as qi and blood stagnation, cold and dampness obstruction, and liver and kidney deficiency. Treatment often focuses on relaxing muscles and tendons, promoting blood circulation, and relieving pain. External therapies such as herbal poultices, cupping, and hot compresses have become commonly used clinical methods due to their convenience and significant efficacy. For example, the Kangnian KN-688 vacuum cupping jar can manually adjust the negative pressure with an air pump to achieve cupping therapy for neck, shoulder, lower back, and leg pain.

[0003] However, although the Kangnian KN-688 vacuum medicine cupping device is designed with injection holes, the Chinese medicine liquid can only be dripped onto the skin surface. The liquid is difficult to penetrate to deeper parts of the skin. It needs to be combined with massage and other methods to promote skin absorption, which makes it difficult to achieve efficient and continuous drug delivery. With long-term use, the treatment cycle for patients is long and the recovery effect is limited.

[0004] In summary, the current vacuum medicine cupping technology, despite having injection holes, only allows the herbal medicine to drip onto the skin surface, making it difficult for the medicine to penetrate deeper into the skin. It requires massage and other methods to promote absorption, making it difficult to achieve efficient and sustained drug delivery. Long-term use results in prolonged treatment cycles and limited recovery effects, which has become a pressing problem in this field. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a specialized medicine cupping device for treating neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain in conjunction with traditional Chinese medicine. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a specialized medicine cupping device for treating neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain in conjunction with traditional Chinese medicine. Through a special design, the device integrates the functions of active penetration of the herbal liquid, negative pressure adsorption, hot compress, and dynamic massage, thereby achieving deep conduction of the herbal liquid, enhancing the comprehensive therapeutic effect of neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain, and shortening the treatment cycle.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A special medicine cupping device for treating neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain with traditional Chinese medicine, comprising a medicine cupping device and a controller; a support plate is fixedly connected to the top of the medicine cupping device; a storage tank for storing traditional Chinese medicine liquid is provided on the top of the medicine cupping device; a gripping part is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, and a driving component is fixedly connected to the bottom of the gripping part; the controller is used to control the rotation of the output shaft of the driving component; a dressing component is provided inside the medicine cupping device for applying the traditional Chinese medicine liquid in the storage tank to the patient's skin; a negative pressure component for generating negative pressure inside the medicine cupping device and a hot compress component for applying heat to the patient's skin are provided between the gripping part and the medicine cupping device; a transmission component is provided on the output shaft of the driving component for transmitting power to the hot compress component, the dressing component, and the negative pressure component.

[0007] The technical principles of the above solution are as follows:

[0008] The drive unit drives the application component to move through the transmission assembly. When the application component comes into contact with the skin, it can draw the Chinese medicine liquid in the storage tank into the application component and spread the liquid evenly on the skin surface through mechanical friction and squeezing. At the same time, it produces a mild massage effect, promotes the opening of skin pores, and improves the penetration efficiency of the medicine liquid.

[0009] At the same time, the driving component drives the negative pressure component through the transmission assembly, which generates negative pressure inside the cupping jar, creating a "cupping" effect on the skin. Simultaneously, the negative pressure acts on the skin, causing local skin and subcutaneous tissue congestion and capillary dilation. On the one hand, this enhances the ability of the medicinal solution to penetrate deeper tissues through the dilated pores and capillaries; on the other hand, it improves blood circulation in the affected area, accelerates metabolism, promotes the absorption of inflammatory substances and the delivery of nutrients, and relieves symptoms of neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain.

[0010] At the same time, the controller controls the heating component to generate heat after being powered on, which is then delivered to the medicine container to apply heat to the patient's skin, raising the local tissue temperature. The increased temperature increases the fluidity of lipids in the stratum corneum of the skin, improves the permeability coefficient, and further promotes the transdermal absorption of the medicine.

[0011] The above approach has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This invention integrates four functions: active penetration of traditional Chinese medicine liquid, negative pressure adsorption, hot compress, and dynamic massage, to achieve synergistic effects of multiple therapies. Compared with traditional cupping therapy that relies solely on passive dripping of medicine, this invention actively promotes deep penetration of the medicine liquid through mechanical movement, negative pressure, and hot compress, which can improve drug utilization and therapeutic effect to a certain extent, and shorten the patient's recovery period.

[0013] 2. Compared to the cumbersome process of traditional cupping therapy, which requires frequent dripping of medicine, manual operation of negative pressure, and additional massage, the integrated design of the cupping device in this invention makes the treatment process simpler and more comfortable. Patients can enjoy efficient and continuous treatment without repeated adjustments, reducing discomfort and time costs during treatment.

[0014] 3. This invention combines the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine and can be filled with corresponding Chinese medicine formulas. It can be combined with hot compresses, negative pressure and massage to promote targeted drug penetration and meet the needs of "treatment based on syndrome differentiation" in traditional Chinese medicine. Compared with Western medicine or invasive treatments, this invention mainly uses pure Chinese medicine external treatment, with no risk of side effects, and is suitable for long-term use by patients with chronic pain.

[0015] Furthermore, the negative pressure assembly includes a support rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the grip, and a piston plate slidably fitted onto the inner wall of the medicine container; a connecting sleeve is sleeved and rotatably fitted onto the support rod, the bottom end of the connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to the top of the piston plate, a connecting block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting sleeve, an L-shaped rod is ball-hinged to the end of the connecting block away from the connecting sleeve, a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the end of the L-shaped rod away from the connecting block, and a limit block is axially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft; a through hole is opened on the piston plate, and a first one-way valve is connected in the through hole.

[0016] Beneficial effects: When the medicated cup is placed on the affected skin, the connecting sleeve rotates via a drive mechanism. The L-shaped rod pushes the piston plate to slide up and down along the inner wall of the cup. This, combined with the first one-way valve inside the through-hole on the piston plate, allows gas to be extracted from the cup, creating negative pressure. This achieves the "cupping" effect on the affected skin. Simultaneously, the negative pressure causes local skin and subcutaneous tissue congestion and capillary dilation. This enhances the ability of the medicinal solution to penetrate deeper tissues through the dilated pores and capillaries. Furthermore, the up-and-down sliding of the piston plate generates periodically changing negative pressure. This dynamic negative pressure simulates the traditional Chinese medicine technique of "flash cupping," enhancing the impact effect of local blood circulation through intermittent adsorption and release, further promoting the penetration of the medicinal solution.

[0017] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes symmetrically and fixedly connected support columns to the bottom of the grip, and a first pulley coaxially and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive component; each support column is rotatably fitted with a sliding bearing seat, each sliding bearing seat is sleeved outside the rotating shaft and is slidably fitted with the rotating shaft and the limiting block; a second pulley is provided between adjacent support columns, the second pulley is sleeved outside the rotating shaft and is slidably fitted with the rotating shaft and the limiting block, and a belt is tensioned between the first pulley and the second pulley.

[0018] Beneficial effects: When the output shaft of the drive component rotates, it drives the first pulley to rotate, which in turn drives the second pulley to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft to rotate. This drives the piston plate to move up and down, and also drives the piston plate to rotate left and right. At the same time, the rotating shaft can drive the heat therapy component to operate, realizing the synchronous and coordinated work of multiple components and reducing the complexity and energy consumption of independent motor configuration.

[0019] Furthermore, the medication application assembly includes several connecting rods circumferentially fixed to the bottom of the piston plate; a liquid reservoir is fixedly connected to the top of the piston plate; rollers are rotatably fitted to the bottom ends of the connecting rods; a rebound airbag is fitted onto each roller; the input end of each rebound airbag is connected to the bottom of the liquid reservoir; a second one-way valve is connected inside the input end of each rebound airbag; several liquid outlet holes are opened on the side wall of each rebound airbag; a second one-way valve is also connected inside each liquid outlet hole; and a massage component for massaging the patient's skin is provided on the side wall of each rebound airbag.

[0020] Beneficial effects: When the piston plate moves downward, it drives the connecting rod downward, causing the rebound airbag at the bottom of the connecting rod to contact the skin. At the same time, the piston plate rotates left and right, causing the rebound airbag to roll back and forth on the skin. When the rebound airbag rotates with the roller and squeezes the skin, it draws the medicine from the reservoir through the first one-way valve. When the airbag is in contact with the skin and is under pressure, the medicine is evenly sprayed onto the skin surface through the one-way valve of the outlet hole, achieving the effect of applying medicine. This rolling application effect can simulate the effect of traditional Chinese medicine kneading and massaging the skin, further promoting the therapeutic effect of the device.

[0021] Furthermore, the hot compress assembly includes a piston fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft away from the L-shaped rod, and an airflow conduit symmetrically and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the medicine container; a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the grip, and a piston cylinder is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting rod; the piston slides against the inner wall of the piston cylinder, and an air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe are connected to the side wall of the piston cylinder; both the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe are connected to a third one-way valve; and the airflow conduit is connected to the air outlet pipe; an electric heating wire is embedded in the inner wall of the piston cylinder, and a controller is used to control the operation of the electric heating wire.

[0022] Beneficial effects: The driving component drives the piston at the end of the rotating shaft to reciprocate inside the piston cylinder, drawing in outside air through the air inlet pipe. After being heated by the heating wire, the air is blown onto the skin at the bottom of the medicine cup through the air outlet pipe and airflow duct to apply heat, increasing the penetration effect of the Chinese medicine liquid. At the same time, the centrally symmetrical airflow duct can form convective hot air inside the medicine cup. Compared with the traditional static heating pad, the convective hot air mode can raise the local temperature more evenly and quickly, shorten the preheating time, and avoid local overheating and burns.

[0023] Furthermore, the massage component includes silicone balls fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rebound airbag, with adjacent silicone balls having different diameters.

[0024] Beneficial effects: When the roller drives the rebound airbag to roll, the silicone ball can produce a biomimetic massage effect on the acupoints on the skin. Combined with the mechanical pressure generated by the elastic deformation of the airbag, it further opens the pores and promotes the diffusion of the medicine into the subcutaneous tissue.

[0025] Furthermore, the top of the storage tank has an injection port, which is detachably connected to a sealing cap; a filter screen is detachably connected inside the injection port, and the filter screen is used to filter impurities in the Chinese medicine liquid.

[0026] Beneficial effects: The injection port allows for quick replacement of different Chinese medicine formulas, such as using cold-dampness type with cold-dispelling and dampness-removing liquid, and blood-activating and stasis-removing liquid with blood stasis type; the sealing cap prevents the liquid from evaporating, meeting the needs of individualized treatment in traditional Chinese medicine.

[0027] Furthermore, a flexible sealing ring is fixedly connected to the bottom edge of the medicine container, and the flexible sealing ring is made of medical-grade silicone.

[0028] Beneficial effects: The flexible sealing ring conforms to the skin to form a sealed space, ensuring the negative pressure adsorption effect. At the same time, its medical-grade silicone material can reduce the pressure on the edge of the medicine cup, improve the patient's comfort during long-term treatment, and is especially suitable for use on sensitive skin or joint areas.

[0029] Furthermore, a temperature sensor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the medicine container. The controller is used to receive the temperature signal inside the medicine container sent by the temperature sensor and control the operation of the heating wire based on the temperature signal.

[0030] Beneficial effects: The temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the medicine pot in real time, and the controller dynamically adjusts the power of the heating wire according to the feedback signal to ensure that the heat therapy temperature is maintained at 40-50℃.

[0031] Furthermore, the outer side of the rebound airbag is detachably connected with a sponge layer.

[0032] Beneficial effects: The sponge layer can absorb the Chinese medicine liquid sprayed from the liquid outlet on the rebound airbag and evenly apply it to the patient's skin, avoiding splashing of the Chinese medicine liquid and making the application of the Chinese medicine liquid more even.

[0033] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] As attached Figure 1 As shown: A special medicine cupping device for treating neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain with traditional Chinese medicine includes a medicine cupping device 1 and a controller; a support plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the medicine cupping device 1 by screws; a storage tank 3 for storing traditional Chinese medicine liquid is provided on the top of the medicine cupping device 1; a gripping part 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 2 by screws, and a driving component is fixedly connected to the bottom of the gripping part 4 by screws. The controller is used to control the rotation of the output shaft of the driving component. In this embodiment, the driving component is a DC motor 5.

[0043] The medicine container 1 is equipped with a dressing component for applying the traditional Chinese medicine liquid in the storage tank 3 to the patient's skin.

[0044] A negative pressure component that generates negative pressure inside the medicine container 1 and a hot compress component for applying heat to the patient's skin are provided between the grip part 4 and the medicine container 1.

[0045] The output shaft of DC motor 5 is equipped with a transmission component for transmitting power to the heat therapy component, the medication application component, and the negative pressure component.

[0046] As attached Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the negative pressure assembly includes a support rod 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the grip part 4 by screws, and a piston plate 22 slidably fitted on the inner side wall of the medicine container 1; a connecting sleeve 21 is sleeved and rotatably fitted on the support rod 6, the bottom end of the connecting sleeve 21 and the top of the piston plate 22 are integrally formed, a connecting block 23 is integrally formed on the side wall of the connecting sleeve 21, an L-shaped rod 7 is ball-hinged to the end of the connecting block 23 away from the connecting sleeve 21, a rotating shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the L-shaped rod 7 away from the connecting block 23 by screws, and a limit block 9 is integrally formed on the rotating shaft 8 in the axial direction; a through hole 10 is opened on the piston plate 22, and a first one-way valve is connected in the through hole 10.

[0047] As attached Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the transmission assembly includes a support column 11 symmetrically connected to the bottom of the grip 4 by screws, and a first pulley 12 coaxially connected to the output shaft of the DC motor 5 by screws.

[0048] As attached Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, each of the support columns 11 is rotatably fitted with a sliding bearing seat 13, which is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 8 and slides in cooperation with the rotating shaft 8 and the limiting block 9.

[0049] As attached Figure 4 As shown, a second pulley 14 is provided between adjacent support columns 11. The second pulley 14 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 8 and slides with both the rotating shaft 8 and the limiting block 9. A belt is tensioned between the first pulley 12 and the second pulley 14.

[0050] The controller controls the output shaft of the DC motor 5 to rotate. At this time, the first pulley 12 drives the second pulley 14 to rotate through the belt. Since the sliding bearing seats 13 are all sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 8 and are all in sliding cooperation with the rotating shaft 8 and the limiting block 9, and since the second pulley 14 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 8 and is in sliding cooperation with the rotating shaft 8 and the limiting block 9, the rotation of the second pulley 14 can drive the rotating shaft 8 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 8 can also slide left and right between the sliding bearing seats 13 and the second pulley 14 at the same time.

[0051] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the medicine cup 1 is placed on the patient's affected skin. Since one end of the L-shaped rod 7 and the rotating shaft 8 is fixed, the rotation of the rotating shaft 8 drives one end of the L-shaped rod 7 to rotate. When the vertical end of the L-shaped rod 7 rotates to point upward or downward, the L-shaped rod 7 can drive the connecting block 23, which in turn drives the connecting sleeve 21, which in turn drives the piston plate 22 to move up and down. While the piston plate 22 moves up and down, under the action of the first one-way valve in the through hole 10 on the piston plate 22, the gas in the medicine cup 1 can be extracted and a negative pressure can be formed, thereby achieving the "cupping" effect of the medicine cup 1 on the affected skin. At the same time, the negative pressure causes local skin and subcutaneous tissue to become congested and capillaries to dilate. On the one hand, this enhances the ability of the medicine liquid to penetrate into the deep tissue through the dilated pores and capillaries. On the other hand, the up and down sliding of the piston plate 22 can generate periodically changing negative pressure. This dynamic negative pressure can simulate the traditional Chinese medicine "flash cupping" technique. Through intermittent adsorption and release, it enhances the impact effect of local blood circulation and further promotes the penetration of the medicine liquid.

[0052] Combination Figure 3 As shown, when the vertical end of the L-shaped rod 7 rotates to point to the left or right, the L-shaped rod 7 drives the piston plate 22 to rotate. At the same time, the L-shaped rod 7 drives the rotating shaft 8 to slide back and forth, so that the rotating shaft 8 forms a back and forth motion.

[0053] As attached Figure 2As shown, specifically, the medication application assembly includes several connecting rods circumferentially fixed to the bottom of the piston plate 22 by screws; the liquid reservoir 3 is fixed to the top of the piston plate 22 by screws; rollers are rotatably fitted at the bottom ends of the connecting rods, and each roller is fitted with a rebound airbag 15; the input end of each rebound airbag 15 is connected to the bottom of the liquid reservoir 3, and a second one-way valve is connected inside the input end of each rebound airbag 15; several liquid outlet holes are opened on the side wall of each rebound airbag 15, and each liquid outlet hole is also connected to a second one-way valve; a massage component for massaging the patient's skin is provided on the side wall of each rebound airbag 15. The massage component includes silicone balls fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the rebound airbag 15, and adjacent silicone balls have different diameters.

[0054] Combination Figure 1 As shown, when the piston plate 22 moves downward, it drives the connecting rod downward, causing the rebound airbag 15 at the bottom of the connecting rod to contact the skin. Simultaneously, the piston plate 22 rotates left and right, causing the rebound airbag 15 to roll back and forth on the skin. As the rebound airbag 15 rotates with the roller and compresses the skin, it draws the medicine from the reservoir 3 through the second one-way valve. When the rebound airbag 15 is in contact with the skin and under pressure, the medicine is evenly sprayed onto the skin surface through the second one-way valve at the outlet, achieving a topical application effect. This rolling application effect simulates the kneading and massaging effect of traditional Chinese medicine, further promoting the skin's absorption of the medicine. When the roller drives the rebound airbag 15 to roll, the silicone ball can produce a biomimetic massage effect on the acupoints on the skin. Combined with the mechanical pressure generated by the elastic deformation of the rebound airbag 15, this further opens the pores and promotes the diffusion of the medicine into the subcutaneous tissue.

[0055] As attached Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the hot compress assembly includes a piston integrally formed on the end of the rotating shaft 8 away from the L-shaped rod 7, and an airflow conduit 16 that is centrally symmetrical and fixed to the inner wall of the medicine container 1 by screws.

[0056] A connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the gripping part 4 by screws. A piston cylinder 18 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting rod 17 by screws. The piston slides against the inner wall of the piston cylinder 18. An air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe 19 are connected to the side wall of the piston cylinder 18. A third one-way valve is connected to both the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe 19. The airflow duct 16 is connected to the air outlet pipe 19. An electric heating wire is embedded in the inner wall of the piston cylinder 18. The controller is used to control the operation of the electric heating wire. A temperature sensor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the medicine container 1 by screws. The controller is used to receive the temperature signal sent by the temperature sensor inside the medicine container 1 and control the operation of the electric heating wire based on the temperature signal.

[0057] The controller controls the operation of the heating wire to heat the inside of the piston cylinder 18, when the rotating shaft 8 is in... Figure 2When the device slides back and forth, the rotating shaft 8 drives the piston to reciprocate within the piston cylinder 18. At this time, under the action of the third one-way valve in the air inlet and outlet pipes 19, outside air is drawn into the piston cylinder 18, heated by the heating wire, and then delivered from the outlet pipe 19 to the airflow duct 16 inside the medicine pot 1. This airflow is then directed onto the skin at the bottom of the medicine pot 1 for heat application, increasing the penetration of the herbal medicine. Because the airflow duct 16 is symmetrically positioned on the inner wall of the medicine pot 1 via a screw, it creates convective hot air within the medicine pot 1. Compared to traditional static heating pads, this convective hot air mode can more evenly and quickly raise the local temperature, shorten the preheating time, and avoid local overheating and burns. A temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the medicine pot 1 in real time, and the controller dynamically adjusts the power of the heating wire based on the feedback temperature signal to ensure the heat application temperature is maintained at 40-50℃.

[0058] As attached Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the top of the liquid storage tank 3 has a liquid inlet, and a sealing cap 20 is detachably connected to the liquid inlet; a filter screen is detachably connected inside the liquid inlet, and the filter screen is used to filter impurities in the Chinese medicine liquid.

[0059] The infusion port allows for quick replacement of different Chinese medicine formulas, such as using cold-dampness type medicine to dispel cold and dampness, and blood-activating and stasis-removing medicine to stagnation type; combined with the sealing cap 20 to prevent the medicine from evaporating, it meets the needs of individualized treatment in traditional Chinese medicine.

[0060] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0061] Select the appropriate traditional Chinese medicine formula according to the patient's condition. Pour the prepared decoction into the inlet at the top of the storage tank 3. After filtering impurities through the filter screen inside the inlet, the decoction enters the storage tank 3. Tighten the sealing cap 20 to prevent evaporation. To change the decoction, simply unscrew the sealing cap 20.

[0062] The heat treatment temperature of the heating wire is set to 40℃ by the controller. The patient lies prone to expose the painful areas of the neck, shoulders, waist and legs. The doctor holds the handle 4 and aligns the bottom of the medicine container 1 with the skin of the affected area, and gently presses it so that the edge of the medicine container 1 fits the skin of the patient's affected area.

[0063] When the controller is activated, the DC motor 5 drives the first pulley 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the second pulley 14 and the shaft 8 to rotate via a belt. At this time, the piston plate 22 moves up and down, creating negative pressure inside the medicine cup 1, causing it to adhere to the skin and simulate the effect of cupping. Simultaneously, the periodic movement of the piston plate 22 enables a "flash cupping" technique, allowing the medicine cup 1 to intermittently adhere to and release from the skin, thereby enhancing blood circulation and improving the therapeutic effect of the device.

[0064] At the same time, as the rotating shaft 8 slides back and forth, it drives the piston to move back and forth in the piston cylinder 18. It draws in outside air through the air inlet pipe, heats it with the heating wire, and blows it into the medicine container 1 through the air outlet pipe 19 and the airflow duct 16, forming convective hot air that evenly heats the skin of the affected area and improves the penetration efficiency of the medicine.

[0065] When the piston plate 22 moves up and down, it drives the connecting rod and the rebound airbag 15 at the bottom to contact the skin. When the piston plate 22 moves downward and rotates left and right, the roller drives the rebound airbag 15 to roll back and forth on the skin. At this time, the rebound airbag 15 is deformed by pressure, squeezing the medicine inside the rebound airbag 15. The medicine is evenly sprayed onto the skin through the second one-way valve of the liquid outlet. At the same time, the silicone balls of different diameters on the outside of the rebound airbag 15 produce a biomimetic massage effect on acupoints, simulating the kneading technique of traditional Chinese medicine, further opening the pores and promoting the penetration of the medicine. When the piston plate 22 moves upward, the rebound airbag 15 leaves the skin surface. At this time, the rebound airbag 15 rebounds, and a negative pressure is generated inside the rebound airbag 15, which can draw the traditional Chinese medicine liquid in the storage tank 3 into the rebound airbag 15.

[0066] Meanwhile, since the storage tank 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the piston plate 22 by screws, when the piston plate 22 moves back and forth, it can shake the Chinese medicine liquid in the storage tank 3, making it evenly mixed and avoiding the separation of the liquid, which would affect the efficacy of the liquid.

[0067] This invention integrates four functions: active penetration of traditional Chinese medicine liquid, negative pressure adsorption, hot compress, and dynamic massage, to achieve synergistic effects of multiple therapies. Compared with traditional cupping therapy that relies solely on passive dripping of medicine, this invention actively promotes deep penetration of the medicine liquid through mechanical movement, negative pressure, and hot compress, which can improve drug utilization and therapeutic effect to a certain extent, and shorten the patient's recovery period.

[0068] Example 2:

[0069] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the difference from Example 1 is that a flexible sealing ring is fixedly bonded to the bottom edge of the medicine container 1. The flexible sealing ring is made of medical-grade silicone.

[0070] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0071] The flexible sealing ring allows the bottom edge of the medicine container 1 to form a sealed space when it is in contact with the skin, ensuring the negative pressure adsorption effect. At the same time, its medical-grade silicone material can reduce the pressure of the edge of the medicine container 1 on the skin, improve the patient's comfort during long-term treatment, and is especially suitable for use on sensitive skin or joints.

[0072] Example 3:

[0073] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 2 is that the outer side of the rebound airbag 15 is detachably connected with a sponge layer.

[0074] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0075] When the rebound airbag 15 rolls to apply the traditional Chinese medicine liquid to the skin, its sponge layer absorbs the liquid sprayed from the outlet of the rebound airbag 15 and evenly applies it to the patient's skin, preventing splashing and ensuring a more even application of the medicine.

[0076] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
