Acupoint hammer

Abstract

From traditional Chinese medicine, the human tissue due to the formation of chronic injury because of fatigue and external force injury, through the knocking of human body related acupoints and specific parts, can achieve the treatment, reduce pain, blood circulation, rapid recovery and fitness effect. The principle of the present application (see figure 3 and figure 4) is that the electromagnet coil is under the action of electric pulse, the magnet core is attracted by magnetic closed loop and generates impact force, and then the force is transmitted to the human body acupoint and specific part through a spherical surface. The present application uses microprocessor and its programming software, changes the speed and force in the form of voice by changing the frequency square wave and duty cycle, to adapt to different diseases and people.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent rehabilitation equipment. It incorporates the electromagnetic force of an electromagnet, an AI control system, and voice interaction to change the speed and force of tapping on acupoints and specific areas of the body, achieving therapeutic, analgesic, and rehabilitative effects on human tissues. Background Technology

[0002] Based on traditional Chinese medicine acupoint theory, this device utilizes an electromagnet, the ASRPRO voice dialogue AI chip, and C programming language (Tianwen 51). Currently available massagers on the market all rely on motor rotation for power and lack impact. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention combines an electromagnet and its external mechanical mechanism, a voice microprocessor and its programmed software, electronic circuits, and a lithium battery.

[0004] Electromagnets were chosen as the power source because their magnetic attraction has good impact and can penetrate human tissue effectively.

[0005] The driver uses square wave sources of various frequencies to drive the electromagnet coil, enhancing the impact of the electromagnet core's magnetic force, improving its penetration into human tissue, and enhancing the blood circulation and rehabilitation effects. Using plastic balls of different diameters for different acupoints or body parts can further promote the rehabilitation effect.

[0006] During use, the device is turned on and off using voice commands, and the tapping speed and intensity are adjusted and announced via voice. It is convenient and practical. This device is mostly used by a single person. After locating the acupoint, it is usually best to hold the device with both hands and use voice commands to turn it on and off, adjust the speed and intensity, and report the values.

[0007] The software uses frequency to change the tapping speed and duty cycle to change the force. The tapping speed range is 1 tap per second to 25 taps per second, and the tapping force range is 10% to 50%. In practice, low speed and moderate force are more effective for general strain injuries; tapping 10-20 times per second with a duty cycle of 40%-50% can alleviate pain and promote recovery from lumbar disc herniation. Attached Figure Description

[0008] The acupoint tapping hammer of the present invention is mainly composed of an electromagnet, an external mechanism, a driver circuit and a lithium battery power supply. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram showing the functions of each component of the acupoint tapping hammer. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the electrical principle of the acupoint tapping hammer driver. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the acupoint tapping hammer. Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of an actual acupoint tapping hammer.

[0009] 1. The electromagnet consists of a silicon steel sheet assembly 1 riveted to a fixing frame 4, a coil 2, and a silicon steel sheet inner core assembly 3 with a movable guide rod 9.

[0010] The fixing frame 4 of the silicon steel sheet assembly 1 is placed in the upper center of the upper support plate 5 and fastened with screws 6. After the coil 2 is energized, the silicon steel sheet assembly 1 generates electromagnetic force, causing the inner core assembly 3 of the silicon steel sheet to move in a magnetic closed-loop attraction. The guide rod 9 leading out of the movable silicon steel sheet assembly 3 is fixed to the screw rod 10 with screws 7 and tightening rings 8. The screw rod 10 is screwed and tightened to the plastic ball 11. The surface of the plastic ball 11 contacts the acupoints or other parts of the human body and forms pressure. After the coil 2 is de-energized, the surface of the plastic ball 11 rebounds due to the elasticity of the human tissue. Under the action of continuous square waves, the human tissue is passively vibrated, and may even resonate at a certain frequency. This enhances the blood circulation and stimulation effects.

[0011] II. The external structure consists of two parts, upper and lower.

[0012] The upper support plate 5 has the silicon steel sheet assembly 1 installed on it. Two hexagonal copper pillars 13 are located on symmetrical sides of the silicon steel sheet assembly 1, connecting the upper support plate 5 and the limiting plate 12, and are secured with four screws 14. The limiting plate 12 restricts the upward movement of the silicon steel sheet inner core assembly 3 within a suitable range. On the symmetrical sides below the upper support plate 5, two downward-facing optical axis seats 15 are installed and secured with screws 16. These are concentric with the two upward-facing optical axis seats 18 installed on the upper sides of the lower support plate 17.

[0013] The two optical axis seats 18 on the lower support plate 17 are fastened with screws 19. Two optical axes 20, one long and one short, are inserted into the center holes of the optical axis seats 18 and fully inserted, then fastened with screws 21. On the other two sides of the lower support plate 17, a pair of hinged rectangular rings 24 are installed and fastened with screws 25. Each of the two rectangular rings has a fabric strap with a plastic buckle attached; the other ends of the two straps can be pressed together for binding to a part of the body.

[0014] The upper optical axis seat 15 is fitted onto the optical axis 20 of the lower support plate, allowing the upper part to slide freely up and down on the optical axis 20. A retaining ring 22 is installed on the upper part of the long optical axis 20 and secured with a screw 23 to prevent it from coming off when the upper support plate 5 moves upward.

[0015] In summary, the function of the lower support plate 17 is to stabilize the force on the acupoint and support the upper part in its vertical movement along the optical axis 20, allowing for the application of softer impacts. Tightening the fastening screws 26 prevents relative movement between the upper and lower parts, enabling the application of harder impacts on acupoints or specific tissues (use with caution). Placing the silicone sheet 27 flat between the silicon steel sheet assembly 1 and the silicon steel sheet inner core assembly 3 can reduce impact noise.

[0016] 3. The driver circuit 28 is fixed on one side of the upper part of the upper support plate 5. The driver generates a square wave drive power supply, which drives the electromagnet coil. Under the action of electromagnetic force, the inner core of the electromagnet generates a downward force.

[0017] It mainly consists of a voice microprocessor ASRPRO, an opto-isolator 4N25, a power output unit IRF630, a power converter DC12V-DC5V, and a circuit board with resistor and capacitor connectors.

[0018] The lithium battery 29 is fixed to the other side of the upper part of the upper support plate 5. The lithium battery can be charged multiple times, providing the full 12V (or 24V) power for this invention. Detailed Implementation

[0020] This invention is a rehabilitation device suitable for multiple applications, including home use and rehabilitation facilities. It can be integrated with automated equipment, robotic arms, and humanoid robots. It can also be made into handheld acupressure hammers of various shapes. Its market applications are very broad.

[0021] This equipment is primarily assembled, with very few self-manufactured parts. All blueprints and manufacturing processes are already available, making mass production relatively easy. Especially given the rising cost of labor, it is a highly efficient and low-cost piece of equipment.
