Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical assistive devices, specifically to an auricular acupoint embedding device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Ear acupoint embedding, a traditional Chinese medicine external therapy, involves applying tiny stimulants such as vaccaria seeds to specific acupoints on the ear to prevent and treat diseases and promote health. This method is widely used in clinical treatment and daily family health care due to its simplicity, minimal side effects, and low cost.

[0003] However, under current technological conditions, the implementation of this therapy still faces some limitations. Traditional auricular acupuncture point embedding relies heavily on on-site guidance from professional physicians or therapists, often requiring patients to make multiple trips to medical institutions to complete a course of treatment. Frequent trips not only consume a significant amount of patients' time and energy, impacting their normal work, study, and social life, but also easily lead to patients abandoning treatment midway due to inconvenience, reducing treatment compliance and ultimately affecting efficacy. Secondly, the accuracy of auricular point location plays a decisive role in treatment effectiveness, but existing auxiliary teaching materials are mostly textual descriptions or static two-dimensional images, lacking a sufficiently intuitive and three-dimensional presentation. For ordinary users lacking professional knowledge, it is difficult to accurately understand and master the complex three-dimensional distribution of auricular acupoints based solely on these materials, easily leading to positioning errors during self-operation, directly affecting the effect of acupressure stimulation. Furthermore, the various tools used to assist in auricular acupuncture point embedding in existing technology, such as acupoint probing pens, tweezers for picking up patches, and instruction manuals or charts recording acupoint information, are usually independent and scattered. The separation of tools not only causes inconvenience for users in carrying, storing, and retrieving them, but also easily affects the standardization and continuity of treatment due to tool loss or disordered procedures during operation, thus limiting the popularization and promotion of this therapy in home settings. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the above technical problems, this invention provides an auricular acupoint embedding device and a projection component. By inserting a slide with acupoint diagrams into the projection component and projecting it onto the ear, the device guides the acupoint probing and pressing components integrated on the projection component to accurately locate and apply acupoints, achieving intuitive and accurate home self-treatment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention specifically adopts the following solution:

[0006] An auricular acupuncture point embedding device, comprising:

[0007] Projection component, used to project and enlarge the images on the slides;

[0008] A slide, which can be inserted into the projection component, is printed with a pattern of auricular acupuncture treatment and operating instructions;

[0009] The ear acupoint embedding component is installed on the projection component and can be rotated relative to the projection component for use and storage. The ear acupoint embedding component is used to detect acupoints and apply ear acupoint patches.

[0010] Furthermore, the projection component includes a hand grip, a projection lamp fixed inside the hand grip, and a convex lens disposed at the end of the hand grip. The hand grip is provided with a slot a for inserting the slide.

[0011] Furthermore, the projection component also includes a rechargeable battery installed inside the grip sleeve, which powers the projection lamp.

[0012] Furthermore, the slide includes a frame, a transparent sheet disposed in the middle of the frame and printed with patterns and text, and a handle connected to the frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the ear acupoint embedding assembly includes a rotating part, a first tweezer wall and a second tweezer wall integrally connected to the rotating part, and an acupoint probe ball disposed at the end of the second tweezer wall.

[0014] Furthermore, the tip of the first tweezers wall is flat.

[0015] Furthermore, there are multiple slides, each corresponding to auricular acupuncture treatment plans for different diseases or symptoms.

[0016] Correspondingly, the present invention also provides a method for using the auricular acupoint embedding device, including the following steps:

[0017] S1. Preparation stage: Select the corresponding slide according to the patient's disease or symptoms; insert the slide into slot a of the hand-held tube through the handle, ensuring that the transparent sheet is positioned between the projection lamp and the convex lens;

[0018] S2. Projection Positioning: Turn on the projection lamp, adjust the projection angle by holding the tube, and project the acupoint pattern and operation instructions on the transparent sheet onto the patient's ear or a preset ear model after being magnified by the convex lens. Mark the acupoint positions on the patient's ear according to the projection pattern.

[0019] S3. Acupoint Detection and Application: Rotate around the rotating part to unfold the ear acupoint embedding component. Hold the hand-held tube or directly hold the tweezers of the ear acupoint embedding component. Use the acupoint probe ball at the end of the second tweezers to gently press on the marked acupoint area. Confirm the precise acupoint based on the patient's soreness and distension feedback. Pull out the slide to provide illumination for finding the acupoint. Then use the flat end of the first tweezers to pick up the ear acupoint patch and apply it flat to the confirmed acupoint to complete the application operation.

[0020] S4. Storage and Battery Life: After operation, rotate the ear acupuncture point implantation component in the opposite direction around the rotating part to store it on the side of the projection component; when the brightness of the projection lamp decreases, charge the rechargeable battery through the external power supply to ensure that the component is continuously usable.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] This solution transforms abstract acupoint locations into intuitive visual guidance by projecting and magnifying acupoint diagrams on slides, enabling even non-professionals to quickly and accurately locate them, thus lowering the operational threshold and error rate. The integrated ear acupoint embedding component combines acupoint detection and application functions. The detection ball assists in precise positioning within the projection area, while the flat tweezers ensure stable gripping and smooth application of the ear acupoint patch, effectively solving the problems of unclear positioning and easy patch detachment in traditional operations. The use of replaceable slides allows the component to flexibly adapt to different diseases or symptoms. Users can switch treatment plans simply by changing the slides, greatly improving the device's versatility.

[0023] Furthermore, the integrated design, where components can be rotated and stored on the side of the projection unit, solves the problem of carrying and storing multifunctional tools. The highly integrated structure makes the device compact and portable, promoting the widespread adoption and application of this therapy in home environments. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides an auricular acupuncture point embedding device, the main structure of which includes a projection component 100, a slide 200, and an auricular acupuncture point embedding assembly 300. The projection component 100 serves as the carrier of the device, integrating the main functional elements internally, while externally it is used to support and connect other components.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The projection component 100 specifically includes a handheld grip 110 suitable for handheld operation. A projection lamp 120, serving as a light source, is fixedly installed inside the grip 110, and a convex lens 130 for focusing and magnifying the light is located at its front end. Near the rear of the grip 110, a slender slot 110a is provided, the size of which matches the slide 200 for precise insertion and positioning of the slide. Furthermore, to improve the portability and battery life of the device, a rechargeable battery 140 is installed inside the grip 110. This battery is connected to the projection lamp 120 via internal wiring to provide it with stable power.

[0033] Please see Figure 4 The slide 200 serves as a medium for storing and transmitting acupoint information. It includes a frame 210 that provides support and positioning. A transparent sheet 220 is fixed in the middle of the frame 210. This sheet 220 is pre-printed with auricular acupoint charts, treatment plan text, or operation symbols corresponding to specific diseases or symptoms. To facilitate user insertion and removal, a protruding handle 230 is specially provided on one side of the frame 210.

[0034] It should be noted that this device comes with a set of multiple slides 200 each, each with a unique acupoint plan designed for different health or treatment needs (such as insomnia, weight management, myopia, etc.). Users can select and change slides according to their actual situation.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3The auricular acupuncture point embedding assembly 300 is hinged to the outside of the hand-held tube 110 of the projection component 100 via a rotating part 310. The auricular acupuncture point embedding assembly 300 is generally tweezer-shaped, comprising a first tweezer wall 320 and a second tweezer wall 330 integrally connected to the rotating part 310. At the end of the second tweezer wall 330, a hemispherical acupoint probe ball 340 is provided. This acupoint probe ball 340 is used for tactile probing of the ear to accurately locate acupoints using the patient's sensation of soreness and distension.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the tip of the first tweezers wall 320 is specially designed as a flat structure. This design makes it more stable when picking up tiny "Vaccaria seed ear acupuncture patches" and helps to attach the ear acupuncture patches flatly to the skin surface, effectively preventing them from curling or falling off.

[0037] The following will describe in detail the specific usage process of this auricular acupoint embedding device:

[0038] First, preparation is required: The user selects a corresponding slide from the set of slides 200 based on their own condition or the disease or symptoms they need to treat. Then, holding the handle 230 of the slide 200, the user smoothly inserts it into the slot 110a on the hand grip tube 110 until the frame 210 of the slide 200 is in place, ensuring that the transparent sheet 220 with the printed pattern is accurately positioned in the light path between the projector lamp 120 and the convex lens 130.

[0039] Next, projection positioning is performed: The user turns on the power of the projector lamp 120, and the light passes through the transparent sheet 220 on the slide 200, projecting the auricular acupoint patterns and text printed on it clearly onto the patient's ear skin after being magnified by the convex lens 130. At this time, the hand-held tube 110 can be slightly moved or rotated to adjust the position and angle of the projected pattern on the auricle, so that it coincides with the standard acupoint distribution. The patient or operator can use an erasable pen to initially mark the acupoints that need to be stimulated on the ear skin according to the bright, magnified outline of the projected pattern.

[0040] Then, acupoint detection and application are performed: The user pinches the tweezers arm of the ear acupoint embedding bean component 300 with their fingers, rotating it around the rotating part 310 from its stored state (fitted by the hand-held tube 110) to a usable state. First, using the acupoint probe ball 340 at the end of the second tweezers wall 330, the user gently presses and probes the acupoint area previously marked by projection. When the patient feels a distinct soreness, numbness, or distension at a specific point, it is the accurate acupoint. During this delicate operation, even after the slide 200 is removed, the continuously lit projection lamp 120 provides a good light source, providing sufficient light for finding acupoints on the uneven curved surface of the ear. After determining the precise acupoint, the user uses the flat end of the first tweezers wall 320 to steadily pick up a "Vaccaria segetalis seed ear acupoint patch," accurately aligns it, and applies it flatly to the confirmed acupoint, applying slight pressure to ensure the patch adheres firmly.

[0041] Finally, storage and battery management are performed: After applying pressure to all acupoints, rotate the ear acupoint embedding component 300 in the opposite direction around the rotating part 310, causing it to retract and fit snugly against the side of the handheld tube 110, restoring it to a compact storage state, facilitating the carrying and storage of the device. If, after prolonged use, the brightness of the projection lamp 120 decreases, it indicates that the built-in rechargeable battery 140 is low on power. In this case, it can be charged via the preset external charging interface on the device, ensuring continuous and reliable use.

[0042] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
