Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a pulsed acupuncture treatment device. Background Technology
[0002] Acupuncture, as an important treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine, has a clinical application history of thousands of years. It mainly works by stimulating specific acupoints to regulate the flow of qi and blood in the meridians, balance yin and yang, and strengthen the body's resistance to pathogens, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. With the development of modern electronic and control technologies, electroacupuncture has gradually become more widespread. Electroacupuncture combines traditional acupuncture with electrical pulse stimulation, offering advantages such as enhanced efficacy and reduced manpower.
[0003] In existing technologies, such as the Huatuo brand G6805 electroacupuncture device, this product is used as an adjunct treatment for various types of pain, nerve paralysis, muscle atrophy, and post-stroke sequelae. During use, the physician first manually inserts a disposable sterile acupuncture needle into the acupoint; then, the electrode at the device's output end is clamped onto the needle handle to form a circuit; alternatively, conductive rubber electrode pads can be directly attached for transcutaneous nerve electrical stimulation without using needles. It possesses basic safety mechanisms such as power-on buffering, overcurrent protection, and open-circuit alarm.
[0004] The aforementioned products can enhance the acupoint stimulation effect, relieve pain, and promote the recovery of neuromuscular function to a certain extent; however, they are essentially passive electrical stimulation devices. These products only provide electrical stimulation and cannot simulate the techniques in traditional acupuncture, resulting in some gaps in treatment effects compared to those performed by experienced TCM doctors. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a pulsed acupuncture treatment device that can simulate traditional techniques. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a pulsed acupuncture treatment device that integrates traditional acupuncture techniques with electrical stimulation through mechanical linkage, thereby enhancing treatment efficacy. It can adapt technique parameters according to the anatomical characteristics of different acupoints, reducing insufficient stimulation or tissue damage caused by improper depth, making treatment more aligned with individual physiological characteristics, and improving the targeting and effectiveness of acupoint stimulation.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a pulse acupuncture treatment device, comprising a handle, an insulating needle, an electrode, and a driving mechanism; the electrode is located inside the insulating needle and is used to provide electrical pulse stimulation therapy; the driving mechanism is used to drive the insulating needle to simulate acupuncture manipulation; the driving mechanism includes a rotating component for simulating twisting manipulation and a pushing and pulling component for simulating lifting and thrusting manipulation.
[0007] It also includes an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the acupuncture depth and a cooling mechanism for cooling the insulating needle; a push-pull assembly drives the cooling mechanism to operate synchronously to cool the insulating needle; the adjustment mechanism acts synchronously on the rotation assembly, the push-pull assembly and the cooling mechanism to match the acupuncture depth of the acupuncture technique.
[0008] The technical principles of the above solution are as follows:
[0009] Electrical pulse stimulation is provided through the internal electrodes of an insulated needle. A rotating component simulates a twisting technique, while a push-pull component performs the insertion and withdrawal movements. Together, they simulate traditional acupuncture procedures. An adjustment mechanism synchronously controls the motion parameters of the rotating and push-pull components to adapt to the needling depth and links with a cooling mechanism. Specifically, the push-pull component, while driving the insertion and withdrawal of the insulated needle, simultaneously activates the cooling mechanism to lower the needle's temperature. Through this interconnected mechanical design, the needling depth, simulated technique, and needle cooling work in synergy, combining electrical stimulation therapy with traditional acupuncture techniques while ensuring the safety and stability of the treatment process.
[0010] The above approach has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] 1. This solution integrates traditional acupuncture techniques with electrostimulation therapy through mechanical structure linkage, enhancing treatment efficacy. When the rotating component simulates twisting techniques, transmission achieves uniform speed adjustment, which, combined with the linear lifting and inserting movements of the push-pull component, realizes the mechanical characteristics of traditional acupuncture techniques such as twisting and lifting. Simultaneously, the pulsed current released by the built-in electrodes can be adjusted according to the manipulation movements. The synchronous control of the acupuncture depth by the adjustment mechanism can adapt the manipulation parameters according to the anatomical characteristics of different acupoints, reducing insufficient stimulation or tissue damage caused by improper depth, making the treatment more aligned with individual physiological characteristics, and improving the targeting and effectiveness of acupoint stimulation.
[0012] 2. This solution achieves safety protection during the process through mechanical linkage design, effectively reducing the safety risks of traditional devices. The linkage between the cooling mechanism and the push-pull assembly drives heat dissipation through the needle insertion and withdrawal movements. The higher the insertion and withdrawal frequency, the higher the cooling efficiency, reducing the problem of needle overheating caused by Joule heat accumulation. The adjustment mechanism limits the stroke of the push-pull assembly to avoid overstimulating nerve tissue, further reducing treatment risks.
[0013] 3. This solution simplifies multi-parameter control into a single operation through the integrated linkage design of the adjustment mechanism, lowering the threshold for clinical use. It allows for simultaneous adjustment of the stroke of the push-pull assembly and the range of motion of the cooling mechanism, achieving convenient operation and reducing the cumbersome process of adjusting multiple parameters separately required in traditional devices. Simultaneously, it reduces the failure rate of mechanical component transmissions, improving the equipment's applicability in medical institutions.
[0014] Furthermore, the rotating assembly includes a controller and a first drive member. The controller is used to control the operation of the first drive member according to the twisting technique. The first drive member is slidably fitted onto the inner wall of the handle. The output shaft of the first drive member is coaxially and fixedly connected to the insulating needle.
[0015] Beneficial effects: The first driving component is coaxially fixedly connected to the insulating needle, ensuring stable transmission without eccentricity or shaking, and ensuring that the twisting stimulation is applied to the acupoint; the sliding fit of the inner wall of the handle makes the structure compact and can be linked with the adjustment mechanism to adjust the position, improving the flexibility of operation and the adaptability of treatment.
[0016] Furthermore, the push-pull assembly includes a turntable and a push-pull rod. The push-pull rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the handle, and a sliding groove is opened on the outer wall of the turntable. One end of the push-pull rod is rotatably engaged with the sliding groove, and the other end of the push-pull rod is fixedly connected to the first driving component. The handle is also provided with a driving component for driving the turntable to rotate.
[0017] Beneficial effects: By driving the turntable to rotate through the drive component, and utilizing the rotational cooperation between the sliding groove and the push-pull rod, the rotational motion is converted into the linear reciprocating motion of the push-pull rod, thereby simulating the lifting and inserting technique; the fixed connection with the first drive component realizes the coordinated design of twisting and lifting and inserting actions, with a compact structure and rapid response, facilitating synchronous control of the adjustment mechanism, and improving the realism of the technique simulation and the accuracy of operation.
[0018] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a second drive member fixedly connected to the outer wall of the handle, and a controller for controlling the operation of the second drive member according to the lifting and thrusting technique; the output shaft of the second drive member is coaxially fixedly connected to a drive disk, and the turntable is slidably connected to the side of the drive disk away from the second drive member.
[0019] Beneficial effects: By controlling the output parameters of the second driving component through the controller, the speed and force of the lifting and inserting techniques can be matched; the sliding connection design between the driving plate and the turntable can be used in conjunction with the adjustment mechanism to flexibly adjust the lifting and inserting stroke to adapt to different needle insertion depth requirements; and the simulation realism and operational controllability of the lifting and inserting action are improved.
[0020] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes a third drive component fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drive disc, and the controller is used to control the operation of the third drive component according to the acupuncture depth of the acupuncture technique; the output shaft of the third drive component is coaxially fixedly connected to a lead screw, and the turntable is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw.
[0021] Beneficial effects: The acupuncture depth is adjusted by the threaded connection between the lead screw and the turntable, and the transmission is smooth and without jerking. The structural linkage design allows the depth parameters to be synchronously adapted with the rotating and pushing-pull components, improving the adaptability to the anatomical characteristics of different acupoints, ensuring the synergy between the simulation of the technique and the control of the depth, and enhancing the stability of operation and the safety of treatment.
[0022] Furthermore, the cooling mechanism includes a storage cavity embedded inside the handle, with a piston plate vertically slidingly fitted on the inner wall of the storage cavity; a piston rod is fixedly connected to the top of the piston plate, and the end of the piston rod away from the piston plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the push-pull rod.
[0023] The side of the storage chamber away from the piston rod is connected to an input pipe and an output pipe. A one-way valve is also provided on the connection path between the input pipe and the output pipe and the storage chamber. The end of the input pipe away from the storage chamber is connected to a cooling chamber for storing coolant. A cooling channel is opened in the side wall of the insulating needle. The end of the output pipe away from the storage chamber is connected to the inside of the cooling channel.
[0024] Beneficial effects: By linking the piston rod with the push-pull rod, the piston plate is driven to reciprocate through the lifting and inserting action. With the help of the one-way valve, the coolant is directionally circulated from the cooling chamber to the cooling channel of the insulating needle. No additional power is required, the structure is compact and the cooling is highly real-time, effectively reducing the overheating of the insulating needle and improving operational stability.
[0025] Furthermore, a cooling component is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cooling chamber, and a temperature sensor is fixedly connected to the insulating needle; the controller is used to acquire the temperature signal from the temperature sensor and control the operation of the cooling component based on the temperature signal.
[0026] Beneficial effects: The temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the insulating needle in real time, and the controller adjusts the operation of the cooling components according to the signal to achieve dynamic cooling of the coolant; the active temperature control combined with the push-pull rod linkage enhances cooling efficiency and prevents the needle from overheating; it improves treatment safety and is suitable for the needs of long-term, high-frequency acupuncture.
[0027] Furthermore, the insulating needle is made of any one or more of biocompatible ceramics and metal materials with anodized insulation treatment on the surface; the cooling channels on the insulating needle are spiral-shaped and arranged around the outer periphery of the electrode.
[0028] Beneficial effects: The insulating needle is made of biocompatible ceramic or anodized metal material, which takes into account biosafety, insulation and strength; the spiral cooling channel surrounds the outer periphery of the electrode, increases the heat dissipation area and improves cooling efficiency, ensures uniform cooling of the needle body to prevent overheating, and enhances treatment safety.
[0029] Furthermore, the controller is also used to receive the forward and reverse rotation speed information of the third drive unit, obtain the position information of the turntable moving along the lead screw based on the forward and reverse rotation speed information, and calibrate the needling depth of the current acupuncture technique based on the position information.

[0038] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0039] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:
[0040] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figures 1-4As shown: A pulse acupuncture treatment device includes a handle 1, on which an insulating needle 2, an electrode 3, and a drive mechanism are provided; the electrode 3 is located inside the insulating needle 2 and is used to provide electrical pulse stimulation therapy. In this embodiment, an electrical pulse stimulator is integrated inside the handle 1, and the output end of the electrical pulse stimulator is electrically connected to the electrode 3; the drive mechanism is used to drive the insulating needle 2 to simulate acupuncture manipulation; the drive mechanism includes a rotating component for simulating twisting manipulation and a pushing and pulling component for simulating lifting and thrusting manipulation.
[0041] This embodiment also includes an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the acupuncture depth and a cooling mechanism for cooling the insulating needle 2; the push-pull assembly is used to drive the cooling mechanism to operate synchronously to cool the insulating needle 2; the adjustment mechanism acts synchronously on the rotation assembly, the push-pull assembly and the cooling mechanism to match the acupuncture depth of the acupuncture technique.
[0042] The rotating assembly includes a controller and a first drive component 4. In this embodiment, the first drive component 4 is a stepper motor. The controller can be a PLC, processor, or MCU, etc. The controller is used to control the operation of the first drive component 4 according to the twisting technique. The first drive component 4 is slidably fitted to the inner wall of the handle 1. The output shaft of the first drive component 4 is coaxially screwed to the insulating needle 2.
[0043] Specifically, the controller controls the operation of the first drive component 4 according to the twisting technique command. The output shaft of the first drive component 4 drives the insulated needle 2 to perform forward and reverse rotation. By adjusting the rotation direction and duration of action, the twisting technique of traditional acupuncture is simulated to achieve mechanical stimulation of acupoints. During this process, the sliding characteristics of the first drive component 4 allow it to adjust its axial position according to the lifting and inserting movements of the insulated needle 2, ensuring that the rotational movement adapts to changes in needle insertion depth and guaranteeing the stable implementation of the twisting technique at different treatment stages.
[0044] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the push-pull assembly includes a turntable 5 and a push-pull rod 6. The push-pull rod 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the handle 1. This slidable connection can provide a limit for the push-pull rod 6 to maintain a linear motion trajectory. The outer wall of the turntable 5 has a sliding groove. One end of the push-pull rod 6 is rotatably engaged with the sliding groove, and the other end of the push-pull rod 6 is fixedly connected to the first drive component 4 with a screw. The handle 1 is also provided with a drive assembly for driving the turntable 5 to rotate.
[0045] The drive assembly includes a second drive component 7 bolted to the outer wall of the handle 1. In this embodiment, the second drive component 7 is a brushless motor. The controller is used to control the operation of the second drive component 7 according to the lifting and thrusting technique. The output shaft of the second drive component 7 is coaxially fixed to a drive disk 8, and a turntable 5 is slidably connected to the side of the drive disk 8 away from the second drive component 7. In this embodiment, a wedge is integrally formed on the turntable 5, and a wedge groove corresponding to the wedge is opened on the drive disk 8. The turntable 5 and the drive disk 8 are slidably connected through a wedge-face mating mechanism, so that they maintain a linear motion trajectory.
[0046] Specifically, the controller controls the second drive unit 7 to operate according to the lifting and inserting technique command. The output shaft of the second drive unit 7 drives the drive disk 8 to rotate. Since the turntable 5 is slidably connected to the drive disk 8, the rotation of the drive disk 8 synchronously drives the turntable 5 to rotate. At this time, the sliding groove on the outer wall of the turntable 5 forms a rotational engagement with one end of the push-pull rod 6, converting the circular motion of the turntable 5 into the linear motion of the push-pull rod 6 along the axial direction of the inner wall of the handle 1. The other end of the push-pull rod 6 is fixed to the first drive unit 4, thereby driving the first drive unit 4 to slide along the inner wall of the handle 1, and finally driving the insulating needle 2 to achieve the lifting and inserting action.
[0047] The adjustment mechanism includes a third drive component 9 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drive disk 8 by screws. The controller is used to control the operation of the third drive component 9 according to the acupuncture depth of the acupuncture technique. The output shaft of the third drive component 9 is coaxially fixedly connected to a lead screw 10 through a coupling. The turntable 5 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 10. Specifically, the lead screw 10 passes through a wedge and is threadedly connected to the wedge. The turntable 5 is moved by sliding the wedge.
[0048] Specifically, the controller controls the operation of the third drive component 9 according to the required needle penetration depth. The third drive component 9 drives the lead screw 10 to rotate. Since the turntable 5 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 10, the rotational motion of the lead screw 10 is converted into the linear movement of the turntable 5 along the wedge groove. During its movement, the relative position with the drive disk 8 is changed synchronously, thereby changing the eccentric distance between the turntable 5 and the drive disk 8. The larger the eccentric distance, the longer the stroke of the push-pull rod 6, which in turn expands the sliding range of the first drive component 4 connected to the push-pull rod 6, and the lifting and inserting amplitude of the driving insulating needle 2 increases accordingly. At the same time, the movement of the turntable 5 along the wedge groove synchronously adjusts the sliding position of the first drive component 4, so that the twisting motion range of the insulating needle 2 is adapted to the current needle penetration depth. Throughout the process, the adjustment mechanism acts on the action amplitude of each component by the distance the turntable 5 moves driven by the lead screw 10. When the effect of the adjustment mechanism is greater, the axial movement distance of the turntable 5 increases, and the stroke of the push-pull rod 6 and the sliding range of the rotating component are simultaneously increased, achieving the matching of the needle penetration depth with the twisting and lifting actions.
[0049] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the cooling mechanism includes a storage cavity 11 embedded inside the handle 1, and a piston plate 12 is vertically slidably fitted on the inner wall of the storage cavity 11; a piston rod 13 is fixedly bonded to the top of the piston plate 12, and the other end of the piston rod 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the push-pull rod 6 with screws.
[0050] The bottom of the storage chamber 11 is connected to an input pipe and an output pipe, and a one-way valve is provided on the connection path between the input pipe and the storage chamber 11. The end of the input pipe away from the storage chamber 11 is connected to a cooling chamber 14 for storing coolant. In this embodiment, the cooling chamber 14 is embedded inside the handle 1. In some preferred embodiments, a liquid injection valve can also be connected to the cooling chamber 14 to allow the internal fluid medium to be replaced according to the actual situation. A cooling channel is opened in the side wall of the insulating needle 2, and the end of the output pipe away from the storage chamber 11 is connected to the inside of the cooling channel. In this embodiment, the one-way valve is used to guide the fluid, so that the fluid flows in from the input pipe and then flows out through the output pipe. Both the input pipe and the output pipe are made of flexible material, and the output pipe is connected to the cooling channel by a rotary joint so that the connection part will not interfere with the movement of the insulating needle 2.
[0051] A cooling component 15 is screwed to the inner wall of the cooling chamber 14. In this embodiment, the cooling component 15 is a semiconductor cooling chip. A temperature sensor is screwed to the insulating needle 2. The controller acquires the temperature signal from the temperature sensor and controls the operation of the cooling component 15 based on the temperature signal. By monitoring the temperature of the insulating needle 2 in real time through the temperature sensor, the controller adjusts the operation of the cooling component 15 according to the temperature signal to achieve dynamic cooling of the coolant. The active temperature control combined with the circulation of the push-pull rod 6 enhances cooling efficiency and prevents the needle from overheating. This improves treatment safety and adapts to the needs of long-term, high-frequency acupuncture.
[0052] Specifically, when the controller adjusts the adjustment mechanism according to the needle penetration depth requirement, the third drive component 9 drives the lead screw 10 to rotate, causing the turntable 5 to move axially along the wedge groove, thereby increasing its reciprocating stroke through the push-pull rod 6. During the reciprocating sliding, the push-pull rod 6 simultaneously drives the piston rod 13 and piston plate 12 to move axially within the storage chamber 11. The greater the effect of the adjustment mechanism, the greater the stroke of the push-pull rod 6, and the greater the sliding distance of the piston plate 12. This results in a simultaneous increase in the amount of coolant drawn into the storage chamber 11 from the cooling chamber 14 through the input pipe and the flow rate of coolant pumped into the cooling channel of the insulating needle 2 through the output pipe, achieving a match between the cooling circulation intensity and the needle penetration depth. Simultaneously, the temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the insulating needle 2 in real time. Based on the temperature signal, the controller adjusts the operating power of the cooling component 15 within the cooling chamber 14. When the increased effect of the adjustment mechanism leads to an increase in the stroke of the push-pull rod 6 and the coolant circulation volume, the cooling component 15 can further enhance the cooling effect on the circulating coolant by improving its cooling efficiency, maintaining the needle body within a safe temperature range.
[0053] This embodiment uses a controller to coordinate the rotation component, push-pull component, and adjustment mechanism to simulate and adapt the twisting and lifting techniques. The adjustment mechanism can drive the turntable 5 axially through the lead screw 10 according to the need for acupuncture depth, thereby expanding the stroke of the push-pull rod 6, the sliding range of the rotation component, and the circulation intensity of the cooling mechanism, ensuring the stability and adaptability of the techniques at different treatment stages. At the same time, the cooling mechanism achieves coolant circulation through the linkage between the push-pull rod 6 and the piston plate 12, and combined with the active temperature control of the temperature sensor and the semiconductor cooling chip, effectively prevents the needle from overheating, adapting to the needs of long-term, high-frequency treatment. In addition, the device integrates an electrical pulse stimulation function, with mechanical stimulation and electrical stimulation working together, in conjunction with the movement between the components, to improve the overall optimization of the accuracy, safety, and treatment effect of acupuncture treatment.
[0054] In another embodiment, the insulating needle 2 is made of any one or more of biocompatible ceramics (such as zirconium oxide) and metal materials with anodized insulating surfaces (such as titanium alloys); the cooling channels on the insulating needle 2 are spiral-shaped and arranged around the outer periphery of the electrode 3 (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown).
[0055] The specific implementation process is as follows: The insulating needle 2 is made of biocompatible ceramic or anodic oxide metal material, taking into account biosafety, insulation and strength; the spiral cooling channel surrounds the outer periphery of the electrode 3, increasing the heat dissipation area and improving cooling efficiency, ensuring uniform cooling of the needle body to prevent overheating, and enhancing the safety of treatment.
[0056] In another embodiment, the controller is also used to receive the forward and reverse rotation speed information of the third drive component 9, obtain the position information of the turntable 5 moving along the lead screw 10 based on the forward and reverse rotation speed information, and calibrate the acupuncture depth of the current acupuncture technique based on the position information. In this embodiment, the pitch of the lead screw 10 is a fixed parameter. The controller calculates the position change of the turntable 5 along the lead screw 10 by setting the number of rotations of the third drive component 9 and combining the forward and reverse directions (e.g., forward rotation increases depth, reverse rotation decreases depth). For example, if the lead screw 10 pitch is set to 2mm and the preset acupuncture depth is 10mm, when the turntable 5 moves 2mm for every 1 rotation of the lead screw 10, a command to rotate 5 times forward is sent to the third drive component 9.
[0057] The specific implementation process is as follows: The controller calculates the position of the turntable 5 by acquiring the forward and reverse rotation speed information of the third drive component 9, thereby achieving acupuncture depth calibration; real-time feedback is generated to improve the accuracy of depth control; and the acupuncture depth is consistent with the set value under different techniques, thereby enhancing the stability of treatment effect and operational reliability.
[0058] In other embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, a display screen 16 is also fixedly connected to the outer wall of the handle 1 with screws. The display screen 16 is electrically connected to the controller. The display screen 16 is used to display the needle penetration depth, twisting frequency, lifting and inserting amplitude, and temperature of the insulating needle 2.
[0059] The specific implementation process is as follows: The display screen 16 displays the acupuncture depth, twisting frequency, lifting and inserting amplitude, and temperature of the insulating needle 2 in real time, so that the operator can intuitively grasp the treatment parameters and needle status; improve the controllability of operation, facilitate timely adjustment of techniques, avoid parameter deviation or overheating risks; enhance the human-computer interaction experience, and ensure the accuracy and safety of treatment.
[0060] 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.
