TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to an auxiliary device for traditional Chinese acupuncture therapy. BACKGROUND

[0002] Acupuncture therapy is a method for preventing and treating diseases by stimulating specific parts of the human body guided by traditional Chinese medicine theory, which has the characteristics of simple operation and wide indications. Its history can be traced back to the Neolithic Age, and early tools were stone knives. Later, metal needles were gradually developed.

[0003] During acupuncture therapy, in addition to alcohol disinfection, the needle can also be sterilized by heating. In particular, in the art of traditional Chinese fire needle therapy, the tip of the needle is heated and quickly inserted into the human body acupoint or lesion site. Fire needle therapy stimulates the body through high temperature to warm the meridians, dispel cold, and unblock the collaterals. It is commonly used in the treatment of rheumatic pain, cold and cold abscesses, skin neoplasms, and joint pain.

[0004] The main method of heating the needle in fire needle therapy is to heat the end of the needle with an alcohol lamp. During the heating process, the needle must be held by hand or fixed before heating. The safety of the alcohol lamp is poor. Therefore, when performing acupuncture therapy, not only do you need to carry the needle, but you also need to carry the equipment for heating, which is relatively inconvenient to use.

[0005] Therefore, the present application provides an auxiliary device for traditional Chinese acupuncture therapy to solve the problem of inconvenient heating mentioned in the background art. SUMMARY

[0008] Preferably, the needle support mechanism includes a needle support base, a first support frame is provided at one end of the needle support base near the heat-gathering shell, and a second support frame is provided at the other end of the needle support base. The tops of the first support frame and the second support frame are both provided with a plurality of needle slots along a line.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the needle storage box is provided with a hinge hole, and both sides of the first support frame are provided with connecting shafts that are hinged to the hinge hole, and the needle support seat can rotate about the connecting shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the needle storage box is provided with a battery pack, which is electrically connected to the resistance heating tube, and the side of the needle storage box is provided with a power interface, which is connected to the battery pack.

[0011] Preferably, there is a gap between the bottom of the needle support and the inner bottom of the needle storage box, and the width of the needle support is smaller than the inner width of the needle storage box. The connection between the sealing cover and the needle storage box is provided with a lifting component. When the sealing cover is closed, the lifting component is vertically inserted into the side of the needle support. When the sealing cover is open, the lifting component lifts the needle support from the bottom of the needle support.

[0012] Preferably, the pick-up support component includes a hinge seat located near the edge of the needle storage box on the sealing cover, a support plate is hinged in the hinge seat, the connection point between the support plate and the hinge seat is located at the end of the support plate, and the support plate can abut against the bottom of the needle support seat.

[0013] Preferably, the needle heating mechanism further includes a variable resistance switch, which is electrically connected to the resistance heating tube, and the top of the variable resistance switch extends to the inner bottom of the needle storage box. The bottom of the first support frame facing the heat-collecting shell has an arc-shaped chamfer, and the variable resistance switch is located below the arc-shaped chamfer.

[0014] Preferably, the top of the needle support is provided with a heat-conducting pad, the width of which is equal to the width of the needle support, and the outer surface of the heat-conducting pad is rough.

[0015] Preferably, the second support frame has a heat-absorbing chamber inside, and the heat-absorbing chamber is filled with a heat-absorbing liquid.

[0016] Preferably, the needle storage box has a first locking element on its side, the sealing cover has a buckle on its side, and the buckle has a second locking element that is compatible with the first locking element; The inner wall of the sealing cover is provided with two pressure strips that are adapted to the positions of the first support frame and the second support frame, and the outer surfaces of the two pressure strips respectively abut against the top of the first support frame and the second support frame.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention integrates needle storage and heating by setting a needle support base inside the needle storage box and setting a first support frame and a second support frame at both ends of the needle support base. The needles are fixed by needle slots on the first and second support frames. At the same time, a needle heating mechanism is set inside the needle storage box so that the needle tip is heated at the needle tip. This achieves the effect of convenient use.

[0018] This invention provides a lifting component at the connection between the sealing cover and the needle storage box. After the sealing cover is opened, the lifting component can apply an upward pushing force to the needle support from the bottom, causing the needle support to rotate around the connecting shaft. This causes the needle tip to sink into the heat-gathering shell, reducing the distance between the needle tip and the heat-gathering shell, thereby improving the needle heating efficiency. At the same time, as the needle tip sinks, the tail of the needle rises above the needle storage box, making it convenient for the user to retrieve the needle and preventing burns that may occur from the user's hands touching the inner wall of the needle storage box.

[0019] This invention provides a needle heating mechanism inside the needle storage box. When the needle storage box is sealed with a sealing cap, the inside of the needle storage box can be heated by the needle heating mechanism, and the needles can be sterilized by high temperature. Meanwhile, when the needle support seat flips, the arc-shaped chamfer on the edge of the first support frame can apply pressure to the variable resistance switch, thereby reducing the resistance in the current transmission process through the variable resistance switch, so that the resistance heating tube can obtain a larger current and improve the heating efficiency.

[0030] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of the present invention, specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 9 It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., illustrated in the accompanying drawings are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and to facilitate understanding and reading. They are not intended to limit the scope of the invention and therefore have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, without affecting the effectiveness and purpose of the invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this invention. Furthermore, the terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of the invention's implementation.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 , Figure 9As shown, this invention provides an auxiliary device for traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture therapy, including a needle storage box 1 with an open top. The edge of the needle storage box 1 is provided with a hinged and closable sealing cover 2. When closed, the sealing cover 2 seals the needle storage box 1, creating a sealed space inside. Inside the needle storage box 1, a needle support mechanism 3 is provided to support and fix external needles, ensuring they are stably and orderly placed inside the needle storage box 1. The needle storage box 1 also includes a needle heating mechanism 4. It can be powered by a battery or an external power source. After being powered, the needle heating mechanism 4 can heat the tip of the needle by resistance heating, so as to disinfect the tip of the needle and perform fire needle therapy. In addition, when the sealing cover 2 is closed, the needle heating mechanism 4 can also heat the internal space of the needle storage box 1, so that the inside of the needle storage box 1 is at a high temperature, thus disinfecting the needle. It should be noted that both the needle storage box 1 and the sealing cover 2 are double-layered. The inner layer is made of metal material to improve thermal conductivity, and the outer layer is made of heat insulation material to avoid external high temperature burns.

[0033] Specifically, the needle tip heating mechanism 4 includes a heat-concentrating outer shell 41, which protects the internal electrical components and reduces the risk of leakage and external contact. The top of the heat-concentrating outer shell 41 has a U-shaped heat-concentrating groove 42 with a smooth inner wall. When high temperatures are generated inside the heat-concentrating outer shell 41, the heat is conducted to the heat-concentrating outer shell 41. At this time, the recessed heat-concentrating groove 42 increases the heating area and concentrates the heat within the groove, while also reflecting heat radiation within the groove 42, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the needle tip and allowing the needle tip temperature to rise quickly. The inner bottom of the heat-concentrating outer shell 41 has a heating tube support 43, which is made of ceramic material and serves to support and... The heating element serves a thermal insulation function. A resistance heating element 44, adapted to the cross-section of the heat-gathering shell 41, is mounted on the heating element support 43. The resistance heating element 44 is distributed along the contours of the heat-gathering shell 41 and the heat-gathering groove 42. The resistance heating element 44 is connected to a power source. When the resistance heating element 44 is energized, it generates heat through resistance, which is conducted to the surface of the heat-gathering shell 41, thereby generating a high temperature in the heat-gathering shell 41 to heat the tip of the needle. To enhance safety, the resistance heating element 44 can be equipped with an overheat protection device to cut off the power supply to the resistance heating element 44 in case of overheating. The main body of the resistance heating element 44 has a U-shaped contour and increases the heating intensity on both sides to improve the heating effect on the tip of the needle. The switch for the resistance heating tube 44 is located on the outer surface of the needle storage box 1 to facilitate control of the working status of the resistance heating tube 44 when the needle storage box 1 is closed. To further improve ease of use, a temperature sensor can be installed inside the needle storage box 1 or the sealing cover 2 to monitor the temperature inside the needle storage box 1 and display it on the screen. It should be noted that the internal temperature of the needle storage box 1 is controlled at around 120 degrees Celsius during needle sterilization to reduce energy consumption while achieving sterilization. When heating the needle tip separately, the temperature is increased to achieve rapid heating.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the needle support mechanism 3 of the present invention includes a needle support base 31 in the shape of a flat plate. A first support frame 32 is provided at one end of the needle support base 31 near the heat-gathering shell 41, and a second support frame 34 is provided at the other end of the needle support base 31. The tops of the first support frame 32 and the second support frame 34 are both provided with a plurality of needle slots 35 collinearly. When placing a needle, the shaft of the needle is placed inside the needle slot 35 and is limited. The tip of the needle passes through the variable resistance switch 45 on the first support frame 32 and is located directly above the heat-gathering tank 42, so that the needle heating mechanism 4 can directly heat the tip of the needle. The tail of the needle passes through the needle slot 35 on the second support frame 34 and extends to the outside of the second support frame 34, making it convenient for the acupuncturist to pick up the needle, and the picking position is far away from the heat source, improving safety.

[0035] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner wall of the needle storage box 1 of the present invention is provided with a hinge hole 11, and both sides of the first support frame 32 are provided with connecting shafts 33 that are hinged to the hinge hole 11. The needle support seat 31 can rotate about the connecting shaft 33. During use, the needle end can be lowered between the heat collection grooves 42 by flipping the needle support seat 31 to increase the heating efficiency of the needle end by the needle heating mechanism 4. At the same time, after the needle support seat 31 is flipped, the tail of the needle is higher than the top of the needle storage box 1, which makes it easier for the acupuncturist to take out the needle. The tail of the needle, which is higher than the top of the needle storage box 1, can better contact the air, improve the heat dissipation of the tail of the needle and reduce the temperature of the tail of the needle.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the needle storage box 1 of the present invention is provided with a battery pack, which is a blade-shaped battery to reduce the space occupied by the installation; the battery pack is electrically connected to the resistance heating tube 44 and is controlled by a switch located outside the needle storage box 1; a power interface 12 is provided on the side of the needle storage box 1, which is connected to the battery pack, so that the battery pack can be charged or used for real-time power supply through an external power source; a corresponding adapter is provided between the power interface 12 and the battery pack, and its specific connection method is the same as that of existing battery charging equipment, so this structure will not be described in detail.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a gap is left between the bottom of the needle support 31 and the inner bottom of the needle storage box 1, and the width of the needle support 31 is smaller than the inner width of the needle storage box 1; a lifting component 21 is provided at the connection between the sealing cover 2 and the needle storage box 1, and the overall length of the lifting component 21 does not exceed the height of the needle storage box 1; when the sealing cover 2 is closed, the lifting component 21 is vertically inserted into the side of the needle support 31, so that the sealing cover 2 can be closed normally; during the unfolding of the sealing cover 2, the lifting component 21 flips with the flipping of the sealing cover 2, so that the lifting component 21 lifts the needle support 31 from the bottom of the needle support 31 according to the lever principle, so as to achieve the effect of the needle tip sinking and the tail lifting; and the lifting component 21 maintains the state of lifting the needle support 31 by the weight of the sealing cover 2, thereby realizing the convenience of targeted heating of the needle tip and lifting needle removal as soon as the sealing cover 2 is opened.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the pick-up support component 21 of the present invention includes a hinge seat 211 disposed near the edge of the sealing cover 2 near the needle storage box 1. A support plate 212 is hinged in the hinge seat 211. The connection point between the support plate 212 and the hinge seat 211 is located at the end of the support plate 212. The support plate 212 can abut against the bottom of the needle support seat 31. When the sealing cover 2 is closed, the support plate 212 rotates inside the hinge seat 211, thereby being inserted perpendicularly to the hinge seat 211 into the gap between the needle support seat 31 and the inner wall of the needle storage box 1. During the unfolding process of the sealing cover 2, the hinge seat 211 first rotates with the rotation of the sealing cover 2 until the hinge seat 211 and the support plate 212 are in a horizontal state. Then, the inner wall of the hinge seat 211 abuts against the bottom of the support plate 212, thereby causing the support plate 212 to flip as the hinge seat 211 flips. This can effectively prevent the support plate 212 from interfering with the closing of the sealing cover 2.

[0039] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the needle heating mechanism 4 of the present invention further includes a variable resistance switch 45, which is a sliding resistance regulator used to change the output current to the resistance heating tube 44 by changing the resistance value, thereby changing the heating power of the resistance heating tube 44. The resistance value of the resistance heating tube 44 decreases sequentially from top to bottom. The variable resistance switch 45 is electrically connected to the resistance heating tube 44, and the top of the variable resistance switch 45 extends to the inner bottom of the needle storage box 1. The bottom of the first support frame 32 facing the heat-gathering shell 41 is provided with an arc-shaped chamfer 36 to make the first support frame 32... The first support frame 32 can be flipped more easily, and the variable resistance switch 45 is located below the arc-shaped chamfer 36. When the needle support 31 rotates, the first support frame 32 will rotate synchronously, thereby applying pressure to the variable resistance switch 45 through the arc-shaped chamfer 36 on its side. This causes the slider in the variable resistance switch 45 to descend and reduce the resistance value of the variable resistance switch 45, thereby increasing the current of the variable resistance switch 45, increasing the heating rate of the resistance heating tube 44, and improving the heating efficiency of the needle tip. Before using the heating function, the switch located outside the needle storage box 1 needs to be turned on.

[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the needle support 31 of the present invention is provided with a heat-conducting pad 37. After the needle is constrained by the needle slot 35, the outer surface of the needle contacts the outer surface of the heat-conducting pad 37. The heat-conducting pad 37 absorbs heat from the needle shaft through its thermal conductivity, thereby reducing the heat transferred to the tail of the needle and preventing the tail of the needle from overheating and becoming too hot to handle after the tip of the needle is heated. The width of the heat-conducting pad 37 is equal to the width of the needle support 31, so that all placed needles can contact the heat-conducting pad 37 for heat conduction. The outer surface of the heat-conducting pad 37 is a rough surface, which is used to increase the friction of the outer surface of the heat-conducting pad 37 and reduce the sliding of the needle in the needle slot 35.

[0041] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the second support frame 34 of the present invention has a heat-absorbing chamber 341 inside, and the heat-absorbing chamber 341 is filled with a heat-absorbing liquid, which can be pure water, Freon-like liquid, etc., to improve the heat absorption performance of the second support frame 34, thereby making the tail temperature of the needle lower; the volume occupied by the heat-absorbing liquid does not exceed half of the volume of the heat-absorbing chamber 341, so that the liquid has space for evaporation, and the evaporated liquid condenses after contacting the air with the outer surface of the second support frame 34 to cool down.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the side of the needle storage box 1 of the present invention is provided with a first locking member 13, and the side of the sealing cover 2 is provided with a soft and flexible buckle 22. The buckle 22 is provided with a second locking member 23 adapted to the first locking member 13. After the needle storage box 1 and the sealing cover 2 are closed, the first locking member 13 and the second locking member 23 can be used to lock the closure of the needle storage box 1 and the sealing cover 2 to improve stability. The first locking member 13 and the second locking member 23 used in this application are magnetic materials, which are fixed by magnetic attraction to improve the convenience of use. The first locking member 13 and the second locking member 23 can be replaced with buckles, pins or other structures with mutual locking functions according to the manufacturing requirements. The inner wall of the sealing cover 2 is provided with two pressure strips 24 that are adapted to the positions of the first support frame 32 and the second support frame 34. The pressure strips 24 are made of heat-resistant rubber. After the sealing cover 2 is closed, the outer surfaces of the two pressure strips 24 abut against the tops of the first support frame 32 and the second support frame 34 respectively, thereby further limiting the needle to prevent excessive displacement of the needle during the carrying of the device. When the sealing cover 2 is closed and the pressure strips 24 abut against the first support frame 32 and the second support frame 34 respectively, the hot air generated by the needle heating mechanism 4 will spread through the edge of the needle support seat 31 to the inside of the needle storage box 1 to disinfect the needle.

[0043] In summary, the auxiliary device for TCM acupuncture therapy of the present invention, by setting a needle support base 31 inside the needle storage box 1, and setting a first support frame 32 and a second support frame 34 at both ends of the needle support base 31 respectively, fixes the needles by needle slots 35 on the first support frame 32 and the second support frame 34, and at the same time, setting a needle heating mechanism 4 inside the needle storage box 1, so that the needle heating mechanism 4 is located at the needle tip to heat the needle tip, realizes the integration of needle storage and heating, and achieves the effect of convenient use.

[0044] The present invention provides a lifting component 21 at the connection between the sealing cover 2 and the needle storage box 1. After the sealing cover 2 is opened, the lifting component 21 can apply an upward pushing force to the needle support 31 from the bottom, so that the needle support 31 rotates around the connecting shaft 33, causing the needle tip to sink into the heat-gathering shell 41, reducing the distance between the needle tip and the heat-gathering shell 41, thereby improving the needle heating efficiency. At the same time, as the needle tip sinks, the tail of the needle rises above the needle storage box 1, which makes it convenient for the acupuncturist to take out the needle and avoids the hand from touching the inner wall of the needle storage box 1, which may cause burns.

[0045] The present invention provides a needle heating mechanism 4 inside the needle storage box 1. When the sealing cover 2 seals the needle storage box 1, the needle heating mechanism 4 can heat the inside of the needle storage box 1, and the needles can be sterilized by high temperature. Meanwhile, when the needle support 31 is flipped, the arc-shaped chamfer 36 on the edge of the first support frame 32 can apply pressure to the variable resistance switch 45, thereby reducing the resistance in the current transmission process through the variable resistance switch 45, so that the resistance heating tube 44 can obtain a larger current and improve the heating efficiency.

[0046] The above description is merely an illustrative embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Any equivalent changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principles of the present invention should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be noted that the components of the present invention are not limited to the overall application described above. Each technical feature described in the specification can be used individually or in combination as needed. Therefore, the present invention naturally covers other combinations and specific applications related to the inventive points of this case.
