Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a microwave thermotherapy device suitable for acupuncture. Background Technology
[0002] Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment that involves inserting metal needles into specific acupoints to regulate qi and blood and treat ailments. After acupuncture treatment, some patients require further microwave thermotherapy to enhance the therapeutic effect and relieve symptoms such as pain and swelling at the affected area. Microwave thermotherapy utilizes the thermal effect of microwaves to act on human tissues, promoting local blood circulation and improving metabolism. However, microwaves have a key characteristic: they are concentratedly absorbed by metallic substances, generating localized high temperatures. If metal is present in the microwave thermotherapy area (such as residual acupuncture needles, metal implants in the patient, or metal jewelry), the temperature at the metal location will rise sharply, potentially burning the patient's skin and subcutaneous tissue. In severe cases, it may even damage deeper tissues, causing secondary harm and seriously affecting the safety of the treatment.
[0003] It should be emphasized that metal needles are more likely to remain in the acupuncture treatment process. Although the probability is low, it is still possible for acupuncture needles to remain in the patient's affected area due to reasons such as needle breakage not being detected in time, novice nurses forgetting to remove the needles due to negligence, or needle displacement caused by changes in the patient's body position during treatment.
[0004] Currently, existing technologies lack specific safety protection measures for microwave thermotherapy following acupuncture, failing to effectively avoid the burn risks posed by metal residues. During microwave thermotherapy, if the presence of metal in the treatment area is not effectively checked and controlled, the presence of metal substances can lead to serious burns, posing a significant safety hazard to clinical treatment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a microwave thermotherapy device suitable for post-acupuncture microwave thermotherapy scenarios, equipped with a comprehensive safety protection mechanism to avoid the safety risks caused by metal residues at the source and ensure patient safety during treatment.
[0005] The methods described in this section are not necessarily methods that had been previously conceived or adopted. Unless otherwise specified, no method described in this section should be assumed to be prior art simply because it is included in this section. Similarly, unless otherwise specified, the issues mentioned in this section should not be considered to be accepted in any prior art. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of burns to patients caused by the presence of undetected metals at the affected area, inconsistencies between the detection area and the heat treatment area, or device displacement during microwave thermotherapy after acupuncture in the prior art. This invention provides a microwave thermotherapy device suitable for acupuncture, which achieves safe and controllable microwave thermotherapy after acupuncture through metal detection, position confirmation, displacement detection, and a safety interlock mechanism, thus ensuring the safety of patient treatment.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, one technical solution adopted by the present invention is: A microwave thermotherapy device suitable for acupuncture, comprising: Microwave hyperthermia module, metal detection module, and control module; The metal detection module is used to detect metal in the area to be treated. The control module is configured as follows: When the metal detection module detects metal in the area to be treated, the microwave thermotherapy module is prevented from working. The microwave hyperthermia module is allowed to operate only when the metal detection module does not detect any metal in the area to be treated.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a location confirmation module; The location confirmation module includes a first detection unit and a second detection unit; The first detection unit is disposed on the metal detection module, and the second detection unit is disposed on the microwave hyperthermia module; When the metal detection module is working, the location confirmation module collects the location information of the area to be treated and forms location reference data through the first detection unit. Before the microwave thermotherapy module is working, the location information of the area to be treated is collected through the second detection unit and a location comparison data is formed. The control module is also configured to prevent the microwave hyperthermia module from working when the comparison result between the position comparison data and the position reference data exceeds a preset range.
[0009] Furthermore, the metal detection module has a removable structure, which can be removed from the microwave thermotherapy area after metal detection is completed.
[0010] Furthermore, the location confirmation module is also used to continuously collect the location information of the area to be treated and form real-time location data through the second detection unit when the microwave thermotherapy module is working. The control module is also configured to prevent the microwave hyperthermia module from working when the comparison result between the real-time location data and the location reference data exceeds a preset range.
[0011] Furthermore, both the first detection unit and the second detection unit are image acquisition units; when the metal detection module performs metal detection, the first detection unit acquires a position image of the area to be treated and forms a position reference image; the second detection unit acquires a position image of the area to be treated before microwave hyperthermia to form a position comparison image, and continuously acquires real-time position images of the area to be treated and the microwave hyperthermia module during microwave hyperthermia. By comparing the images at each stage with the reference image, the consistency between the detection area and the treatment area and the displacement monitoring of the microwave hyperthermia module are realized.
[0012] Furthermore, both the first and second detection units include a supplementary lighting component and a distance measurement component; the supplementary lighting component is used to provide supplementary lighting to the area to be treated when there is insufficient light; the distance measurement component is used to measure the distance between the detection unit and the area to be treated, and to assist in calibrating the position data.
[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a prompt module; The prompting module is used to issue a prompting signal when the microwave hyperthermia module is disabled, prompting the user to re-perform metal detection or location confirmation.
[0014] Furthermore, the metal detection module includes at least one of an eddy current detection module, an electromagnetic induction detection module, or a radio frequency detection module.
[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a support module; the support module includes a bracket and a housing, the housing is rotatably connected to the bracket, the microwave hyperthermia module and the metal detection module are both located on the housing, and are set at a certain angle around the rotation axis of the housing, so as to realize the switching between metal detection and microwave hyperthermia by rotating the housing.
[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a drive module; the drive module is located between the support and the housing, and is used to drive the housing to rotate relative to the support, so as to realize the switching between metal detection and microwave hyperthermia.
[0017] The microwave thermotherapy device for acupuncture provided by this invention specifically addresses the lack of dedicated safety protection for microwave thermotherapy after acupuncture in existing technologies. Through the coordinated operation of various functional modules, it achieves safe and controllable microwave thermotherapy after acupuncture, with the following specific beneficial effects: 1. Comprehensive and reliable safety protection, avoiding burn risks from the source: The metal detection module can accurately detect various metal substances in the treatment area, effectively avoiding microwave absorption burns caused by residual needles or tiny metal fragments after acupuncture, providing a basic guarantee for patient treatment safety; The position confirmation module, through the cooperation of dual detection units, realizes the consistency confirmation between the detection area and the heat therapy area, and at the same time monitors the position changes during the heat therapy process in real time, preventing detection failure caused by area misalignment or device displacement, forming dual position protection, further eliminating safety hazards.
[0018] 2. High detection accuracy, adaptable to diverse clinical needs: The detection unit of the position confirmation module adopts an image acquisition method, combined with a supplementary lighting component and a distance measurement component, which can effectively avoid inaccurate position data caused by insufficient light or distance deviation, ensuring the accuracy of position comparison and displacement monitoring; the metal detection module can select multiple detection methods, which can be used alone or in combination, significantly improving the sensitivity and coverage of metal detection, and can accurately capture various tiny metal substances, adapting to different clinical treatment scenarios after acupuncture.
[0019] 3. Convenient operation and high degree of automation: The metal detection module adopts a movable structure, which, together with the support module and the drive module, can automatically switch between metal detection and microwave hyperthermia by rotation, eliminating the need for manual handling or adjustment and reducing operational complexity; the drive module can be linked with the control module to automatically complete the module switching after the metal detection is qualified and the position is confirmed to be correct, reducing human operation errors and improving the convenience of clinical use.
[0020] 4. User-friendly human-computer interaction and efficient hazard identification: The prompting module promptly issues a prompt signal when the microwave hyperthermia module is prohibited from working. It can issue differentiated prompts according to different hazard types to help users quickly locate problems (such as metal residue, positional deviation), which facilitates timely investigation and adjustment and ensures the smooth progress of treatment. The control module can be set with delayed judgment, hierarchical control and other logic according to actual needs to further improve the reliability and pertinence of the device.
[0021] 5. Reasonable structural design and strong adaptability: The support module can be adjusted in height and angle according to the patient's height and position to meet the treatment needs of different patients; each module has a compact structure and reliable connection, which not only avoids the impact of its own components on the thermotherapy effect, but also reduces the risk of displacement during operation. The overall design takes into account both safety and practicality, and can be widely used in clinical scenarios of microwave thermotherapy after acupuncture, providing reliable equipment support for clinical treatment.

Figure 2 ; Figure 3 for Figure 2 A magnified schematic diagram of the structure at point A in the middle.
[0023] The meanings of the labels in the attached diagram are as follows: Microwave thermotherapy module 1, metal detection module 2, first detection unit 31, second detection unit 32, prompting module 4, support module 5, bracket 51, and shell 52. Detailed Implementation
[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can understand it.
[0025] Reference Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the microwave thermotherapy device suitable for acupuncture includes a microwave thermotherapy module 1, a metal detection module 2, and a control module. The metal detection module 2 detects metal in the treatment area to rule out any metal residue that may remain on the patient's affected area after acupuncture treatment, thus preventing microwave burns. The control module receives signals from each functional module and executes corresponding control actions according to preset control logic: when the metal detection module 2 detects metal in the treatment area, it sends a metal presence signal to the control module. Upon receiving this signal, the control module immediately outputs a prohibition command, preventing the microwave thermotherapy module 1 from starting. Only when the metal detection module 2 continuously fails to detect metal in the treatment area and sends a no-metal signal to the control module does the control module output a permission command, allowing the microwave thermotherapy module 1 to start normally and perform thermotherapy. In other embodiments, the control module can add a delay judgment logic, meaning that the control module only allows the microwave thermotherapy module 1 to start after the metal detection module 2 has continuously detected for a period of time and has not detected any metal signal, reducing the problem of misjudgment from a single detection.
[0026] In this embodiment, the device is further configured with a position confirmation module, which includes a first detection unit 31 and a second detection unit 32. The first detection unit 31 is disposed on the metal detection module 2, and the second detection unit 32 is disposed on the microwave hyperthermia module 1. When the metal detection module 2 is performing metal detection, the position confirmation module collects the position information of the area to be treated and forms position reference data through the first detection unit 31. Before the microwave hyperthermia module 1 performs microwave hyperthermia, the position confirmation module collects the position information of the area to be treated and forms position comparison data through the second detection unit 32. The control module synchronously receives the position reference data and position comparison data transmitted by the position confirmation module and compares the two. If the comparison result exceeds a preset range, i.e., the detection area and the treatment area are not consistent, even if the metal detection module 2 does not detect metal, the control module continues to control the microwave hyperthermia module 1 to stop working until the comparison result of the position comparison data and the position reference data is within the preset range.
[0027] In this embodiment, the metal detection module 2 adopts a removable structure. After completing the metal detection task, it can be removed from the microwave thermotherapy area, preventing its own metal components from being concentratedly absorbed by microwaves during the thermotherapy process and affecting the thermotherapy effect. Simultaneously, it provides ample working space for the microwave thermotherapy module 1, ensuring that the microwave thermotherapy energy is evenly applied to the patient's affected area. In other embodiments, the metal detection module 2 can adopt a retractable or flip-up removable structure, eliminating the need for overall transport; it can be removed from the thermotherapy area simply by retracting or flipping, making operation more convenient.
[0028] In this embodiment, the position confirmation module is also used to continuously collect the position information of the area to be treated and form real-time position data through the second detection unit 32 when the microwave hyperthermia module 1 is performing microwave hyperthermia. The control module continuously receives the real-time position data and performs real-time comparison. When the comparison result between the real-time position data and the position reference data exceeds a preset range, it indicates that the microwave hyperthermia module 1 has shifted. The control module immediately controls the microwave hyperthermia module 1 to stop working to prevent the hyperthermia area from being misaligned with the detection area after shifting, thus avoiding burns to the patient caused by undetected metal. In other embodiments, the control module can be set with hierarchical control logic. Depending on the extent to which the comparison result exceeds the preset range, different control actions are executed. When the comparison deviation is small, only a prompt is issued and startup is prohibited. When the deviation is large, the output of the microwave hyperthermia module 1 is directly locked to improve the targeted nature of safety protection.
[0029] In this embodiment, both the first detection unit 31 and the second detection unit 32 are image acquisition units. Specifically, the first detection unit 31 simultaneously acquires a position image of the treatment area while the metal detection module 2 is performing metal detection, and uses this image as a position reference image, i.e., the position reference data. The second detection unit 32 acquires a position image of the treatment area before microwave hyperthermia begins and forms a position comparison image, i.e., position comparison data. During microwave hyperthermia, it continuously acquires real-time position images of the treatment area and the microwave hyperthermia module 1, i.e., real-time position data. The control module compares the position comparison image and the real-time position image with the position reference image to confirm the consistency between the detection area and the treatment area, and to monitor the displacement of the microwave hyperthermia module 1, ensuring the safety of the hyperthermia process. In other embodiments, the first detection unit 31 and the second detection unit 32 can be different types of image acquisition units to adapt to different clinical application scenarios and improve the accuracy of position acquisition.
[0030] In this embodiment, both the first detection unit 31 and the second detection unit 32 further include a supplementary lighting component and a distance measurement component. The supplementary lighting component provides illumination to the area to be treated in low-light environments, ensuring that the image acquisition unit can clearly capture the location information of the area to be treated and avoiding location data deviations caused by lighting issues. The distance measurement component measures the distance between the corresponding detection unit and the area to be treated, assisting in calibrating the location data and further improving the accuracy of location comparison, ensuring more reliable consistency judgment between the detection area and the treatment area. In other embodiments, the supplementary lighting component may adopt an adjustable brightness structure, adaptively adjusting the supplementary lighting brightness according to the ambient light intensity, and the distance measurement component may use a higher-precision measurement component to adapt to the treatment needs of different depths and locations.
[0031] In this embodiment, the device also includes a prompting module 4, which issues a prompting signal when the microwave thermotherapy module 1 is disabled, prompting the user to re-perform metal detection or location confirmation, helping the user quickly locate and resolve the problem, and ensuring the smooth implementation of microwave thermotherapy after acupuncture. In other embodiments, the prompting module 4 can issue different prompting signals according to different reasons for disabling operation. For example, it can issue one prompting signal when metal is detected, and another prompting signal when the location comparison exceeds a preset range, making it easier for the user to quickly determine the type of potential hazard and improving troubleshooting efficiency.
[0032] In this embodiment, the metal detection module 2 can be at least one of an eddy current detection module, an electromagnetic induction detection module, or a radio frequency detection module. It can accurately detect various metallic substances in the treatment area, including needle residue and tiny metal fragments that may remain after acupuncture, making it suitable for clinical applications of microwave thermotherapy after acupuncture. In other embodiments, the metal detection module 2 can employ a combination of multiple detection modules to further improve the sensitivity and coverage of metal detection, ensuring that no tiny metallic substances are missed.
[0033] In this embodiment, the device is further equipped with a support module 5, which consists of a bracket 51 and a housing 52. The housing 52 is rotatably connected to the bracket 51. Both the microwave hyperthermia module 1 and the metal detection module 2 are mounted on the housing 52, and they are set at a certain angle around the rotation axis of the housing 52. Rotating the housing 52 allows for switching the positions of the metal detection module 2 and the microwave hyperthermia module 1. This structure makes the device compact, reduces operational complexity, and minimizes the risk of device displacement caused by removing the detection module. In other embodiments, the bracket 51 can adopt a height and angle adjustable structure, allowing the device height and angle to be adjusted according to the patient's height and position to meet the treatment needs of different patients. The rotatable connection between the housing 52 and the bracket 51 can adopt other suitable structures, as long as the housing 52 can rotate stably and the two modules can be switched.
[0034] In this embodiment, the device also includes a drive module installed between the support 51 and the housing 52. This drive module rotates the housing 52 relative to the support 51, enabling automatic switching between metal detection and microwave thermotherapy. This eliminates the need for manual rotation of the housing 52, improving the device's automation level and reducing human error. In other embodiments, the drive module can be linked with the control module for control. When the metal detection module 2 completes detection and confirms the absence of metal and the position comparison result meets the requirements, the control module automatically controls the drive module to rotate the housing 52, achieving module switching without manual triggering, further enhancing operational convenience.
[0035] In this embodiment, the device is used as follows: After acupuncture treatment, the patient's affected area is aligned with the detection or treatment area of the device, ensuring that the affected area is covered by the metal detection module 2 and the microwave thermotherapy module 1. After the device is started, the control module first controls the drive module to rotate the housing 52, so that the metal detection module 2 is aligned with the patient's affected area. Then, the metal detection module 2 is activated to perform comprehensive metal detection on the treatment area. At the same time, the first detection unit 31 of the position confirmation module is activated simultaneously, acquiring the position image of the treatment area, forming a position reference image (position reference data), and transmitting it to the control module. After the metal detection is completed, the control module controls the drive module to rotate the housing 52, moving the metal detection module 2 away from the microwave thermotherapy area, so that the microwave thermotherapy module 1 is aligned with the patient's affected area. At this time, the second detection unit 32 of the position confirmation module is activated, acquiring the position image of the treatment area, forming a position comparison image (position comparison data), and transmitting it to the control module. The control module synchronously receives the detection signal, position reference data, and position comparison data from the metal detection module 2 and performs logical judgments. If the metal detection module 2 detects metal at the affected area, or if the comparison result of the position comparison data and the position reference data exceeds a preset range, the control module immediately controls the microwave thermotherapy module 1 to stop working. Simultaneously, the prompting module 4 issues a prompt signal, reminding the user to check for metal at the affected area or adjust the device position. After the check or adjustment is completed, metal detection and position confirmation are performed again. If the metal detection module 2 does not detect metal at the affected area, and the position comparison result is within a preset range, the control module allows the microwave thermotherapy module 1 to start working, performing microwave thermotherapy on the patient's affected area after acupuncture. During the thermotherapy process, the second detection unit 32 continuously acquires real-time position images (real-time position data) of the treatment area and the microwave thermotherapy module 1. The control module continuously compares the real-time position data with the position reference data. Once the comparison result exceeds a preset range, the control module immediately controls the microwave thermotherapy module 1 to stop working, and the prompting module 4 issues a prompt signal, reminding the user to perform metal detection or position confirmation again to avoid safety hazards.
[0036] In summary, the microwave hyperthermia device applicable to acupuncture in this embodiment, through the coordinated cooperation of each functional module, solves the risk of burns caused by metal residues in microwave hyperthermia after acupuncture, and forms a complete safety protection system. The metal detection module 2 can detect metal substances in the treatment area to be treated, avoiding potential burn hazards; the position confirmation module, through the first detection unit 31 and the second detection unit 32, combines functions such as image acquisition, light supplementation, and distance measurement to achieve the confirmation of the consistency between the detection area and the hyperthermia area and the real-time monitoring of displacement during the microwave hyperthermia process, ensuring accurate detection and reliable protection; the control module realizes the linkage control of each module through logical judgment to ensure the implementation of the safety mechanism; the prompt module 4 reminds the user to check for potential hazards and improves the convenience of use; the support module 5 and the drive module improve the convenience of device operation and the degree of automation, reducing manual operation errors. The design of each module takes into account the safety and convenience of microwave hyperthermia after acupuncture and adapts to clinical needs. In other embodiments, by adjusting the structures and functions of each module, it can further adapt to different clinical treatment scenarios, meet diverse needs, achieve safe and controllable microwave hyperthermia after acupuncture, provide reliable equipment support for clinical treatment, and solve the problem of the lack of a dedicated safety protection scheme in the prior art.
