Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of auxiliary heating therapy devices, and in particular to an auxiliary heating therapy device for pediatric diarrhea. Background Technology

[0002] Children are prone to diarrhea, intestinal spasms, indigestion, flatulence, and colic due to unclean food, exposure to cold, and other reasons. Western medicine often treats these conditions with oral medications to stop diarrhea, regulate gut flora, and aid digestion. However, young children face difficulties in administering medication, and the drugs can further burden their digestive system. Traditional Chinese medicine, on the other hand, employs a holistic approach and syndrome differentiation, particularly utilizing external therapies. These therapies, tailored to children's physiological characteristics, aim to warm and unblock meridians, regulate qi and blood, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and support the body's resistance while eliminating pathogenic factors, achieving yin-yang balance and regulating the internal organs. This invention simulates pediatric massage techniques such as pressing, kneading, and rubbing, along with the warmth of moxibustion, acting on specific acupoints on the child's body surface. This external treatment achieves therapeutic effects without causing harm to the body. To address the issue of damage caused by heat, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) often uses massage and hot compresses on acupoints such as Shenque (CV8) and Tianshu (ST25) to warm the meridians, harmonize Qi and blood, dispel cold and dampness, improve intestinal health, relieve diarrhea, promote digestion, and regulate the spleen and stomach. Common childhood ailments such as cough, asthma, and rhinitis can also be treated in TCM by massaging and applying heat to related acupoints. However, current TCM clinical practice often uses burning moxa sticks for heat application, which is not only environmentally unfriendly but also provides only a single form of heat stimulation. Therefore, a therapeutic device for pediatric diarrhea with auxiliary heating is needed to address these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides an auxiliary heating therapy device for pediatric diarrhea, which is equipped with an ultrasonic transducer and a heating layer to achieve heat application to acupoints of children while also having a vibration massage effect, fully stimulating acupoints to treat the disease.

[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is achieved by the following technical solution: This invention provides an auxiliary heating treatment device for pediatric diarrhea, including a hand handle and a treatment head. The hand handle has a control main board inside and a control switch on its surface. The treatment head has an ultrasonic transducer inside and a heating layer is adhered to the bottom of the ultrasonic transducer. The heating layer is also used to seal the bottom surface of the treatment head. The input terminal of the control main board is connected to the control switch, and the output terminal of the control main board is connected to the ultrasonic transducer and the heating layer.

[0005] Preferably, a temperature sensor is also provided on the heating layer in the direction away from the ultrasonic transducer, and a warning light is also provided on the treatment head. The output terminal of the temperature sensor is connected to the input terminal of the control motherboard, and the output terminal of the control motherboard is used to send a control signal to control the working state of the warning light.

[0006] Preferably, the handle is further provided with a rechargeable power source inside, and the handle is also provided with a charging port for the rechargeable power source.

[0007] Preferably, the inner wall of the treatment head is provided with a first ear with a perforation, and a second ear with a guide post is fixedly connected to the ultrasonic transducer. The top of the guide post has a lug, and the guide post passes through the perforation of the first ear. A buffer spring is provided between the lug and the first ear, and between the first ear and the second ear.

[0008] Preferably, the treatment head includes an upper shell and a lower shell, which are connected by a connecting spring.

[0009] Preferably, a flexible dustproof layer is also provided between the upper shell and the lower shell.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the treatment head is flared, and the bottom edge of the treatment head is fixedly connected to the heating layer at the bottom of the ultrasonic transducer through a flexible connecting layer.

[0011] Preferably, the heating layer is a flexible heating layer.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are: by combining the ultrasonic transducer and heating layer inside the treatment head, it can fully stimulate the acupoints of the human body, and by coordinating the control motherboard and control switch, it can ensure the stable working state of the ultrasonic transducer and heating layer.

[0013] By setting the treatment head to be connected to the upper and lower shells via a connecting spring, it enables the application of force to massage acupoints through the hand handle, while ensuring that the heating layer remains in contact with the skin during the massage.

[0014] By connecting the ultrasonic transducer through a first ear, a second ear, a guide post, and a spring, the ultrasonic transducer can have a certain range of motion inside the treatment head, resulting in a better massage effect.

[0015] This invention achieves heating and massage through power supply, overcoming the environmental problems of traditional moxibustion. Furthermore, the vibration driven by the ultrasonic transducer can better transmit the vibration to the depths of the acupoints. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below with reference to specific illustrations.

[0020] refer to Figures 1-4 This invention provides an auxiliary heating treatment device for pediatric diarrhea, comprising a handle 1 and a treatment head 2. The external shape of the handle 1 is not specifically limited, but is preferably designed to be easy for a person to hold, such as with... Figure 1The cylindrical shape provided in the text, and the external shape of the treatment head 2 are not specifically limited. Overall, it should be able to provide sufficient installation space to accommodate the ultrasonic transducer 5 (described below, with a frequency between 1MHz and 3MHz for achieving a good massage vibration effect) and the heating layer 6 (described below), as shown in the attached... Figure 1 The device adopts a shape with an upper cylinder and a lower frustum. It also has an installation space inside the handle 1, where a control main board 3 is installed. A control switch electrically connected to the control main board 3 is located on the surface of the handle 1. An ultrasonic transducer 5 is installed inside the treatment head 2, with its bottom positioned at the opening at the bottom of the treatment head 2. A heating layer 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ultrasonic transducer 5, sealing the opening at the bottom of the treatment head 2. Both the ultrasonic transducer 5 and the heating layer 6 are electrically connected to the control main board 3 and are controlled by it. Therefore, when using this auxiliary heating therapy device, the user can control the working status of the ultrasonic transducer 5 and / or the heating layer 6 via the control switch and the control main board 3. It should be further noted that... Figure 1 The axis of the handle 1 provided is perpendicular to the axis of the treatment head 2. However, in actual production, the axis of the handle 1 and the axis of the treatment head 2 can also be designed to be less than 90 degrees (i.e., tilted), or the axis of the handle 1 and the axis of the treatment head 2 can be designed to be on the same straight line, that is, the handle 1 is designed at the top of the treatment head 2 and is in a vertical position. It should also be further explained that the control switch can control only the heating layer 6 to work through the control motherboard 3, or it can control only the ultrasonic transducer 5 to work through the control motherboard 3, or it can control both the heating layer 6 and the ultrasonic transducer 5 to work simultaneously through the control motherboard 3.

[0021] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 9As shown, to ensure that the temperature of the heating layer 6 remains constantly monitored during the application of heat to the skin, and to prevent burns caused by a rapid temperature increase due to circuit malfunction, a temperature sensor 13 is installed on the heating layer 6 (on the side facing away from the ultrasonic transducer 5). This sensor is connected to the control motherboard 3 to provide temperature signals. An indicator light 12 is installed on the top of the treatment head 2 (or it can be placed in another easily observable location), which is also connected to the control motherboard 3 and its operation is controlled by the control motherboard 3. During operation... Personnel control the heating layer 6 to generate heat via the control switch and the control motherboard 3. When the temperature of the heating layer 6 is within the normal range, such as 40 to 50 degrees Celsius, the control motherboard 3 controls the warning light 12 to be in the first state (e.g., emitting a green light). When a circuit fault occurs (a short circuit occurs in the heating layer 6) and the heating temperature of the heating layer 6 is too high, exceeding the set threshold, for example, when the temperature sensor 13 detects that the temperature of the heating layer 6 exceeds 50 degrees Celsius, the control motherboard 3 controls the warning light 12 to be in a second state different from the first state (e.g., emitting a red light), thereby ensuring that the temperature during the hot compress of the child's acupoints is within a suitable range.

[0022] Furthermore, the heating therapy device can be powered by connecting a wire to a power plug (in this case, the control board 3 should have a corresponding power adjustment module to ensure that each component is in the rated working voltage state). Of course, the most preferred method is to use a rechargeable power supply 4 to provide power, which is preferably located inside the handle 1. It provides power to each component in a rechargeable manner, and a charging port 401 is provided on the handle 1 to facilitate the use of a charging cable to power the rechargeable power supply 4.

[0023] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the ultrasonic transducer 5 and the treatment head 2 are flexibly connected (flexible connection - capable of wobbling within a certain range relative to the treatment head 2), thereby ensuring stable release of the vibration of the ultrasonic transducer 5 and achieving acupoint massage. Specifically, a first ear 203 is provided on the inner wall of the treatment head 2, and the first ear 203 has a perforation. The ultrasonic transducer 5 has a second ear 501, and the second ear 501 has a guide post 502. The top of the guide post 502 has a protruding ear 503, and the guide post 502 penetrates the first ear 203. The perforation of the protruding ear 503, the outer surface of the guide post 502 between the protruding ear 503 and the first ear 203 and the outer surface of the guide post 502 between the first ear 203 and the second ear 501 are all fitted with buffer springs 11. The buffer springs 11 can reduce the excessive transmission of the vibration of the ultrasonic transducer 5 to the treatment head 2 and the handle, so as to avoid the numbness and tingling caused by prolonged holding. At the same time, it can also ensure that the vibration amplitude of the ultrasonic transducer 5 is not weakened by the treatment head 2, and more vibration can be applied to the acupoints.

[0024] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to ensure that even when the ultrasonic transducer 5 is not working, only the heating layer 6 is working, and the person applies external force to the handle 1, they can still massage the acupoints. During the massage, the handle 1 moves within a certain vertical range, and the heating layer 6 is always attached to the corresponding acupoint skin position. The treatment head 2 includes an upper shell 201 and a lower shell 202, which are connected by a connecting spring 10. When the person presses down on the handle 1, the connecting spring 10 is compressed, and the lower shell 202 drives the heating layer 6 to apply pressure to the acupoint skin. When the person lifts the handle slightly, the connecting spring 10 is released. The length of the released connecting spring 10 offsets the displacement of the lifted handle, ensuring that the heating layer 6 is always in contact with the skin. Thus, when the person applies external force to the treatment head 2 to rub the acupoints by holding the handle 1, the connecting spring 10 can ensure that the heating layer 6 is in close contact with the skin to a certain extent. It should be further explained that the shape of the connecting spring 10 is set according to the bottom edge of the upper housing 201 and the top edge of the lower housing 202. When the bottom edge of the upper housing 201 and the top edge of the lower housing 202 are in circles of the same size, the connecting spring 10 is a conventional equal-diameter spring. Figure 1 As shown, when the bottom edge of the upper housing 201 is smaller than the top edge of the lower housing 202, the connecting spring 10 should be configured as a variable diameter connecting spring 10, i.e., the cone spring shape shown in the attached figure.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, a seal is also needed between the upper housing 201 and the lower housing 202 to achieve a dustproof effect. Therefore, in the case of connection by the connecting spring 10, a flexible dustproof layer 9 can be set to prevent dust from entering the interior of the treatment head 2 from the outside. Specifically, the flexible dustproof layer 9 can be set between the outer walls of the upper housing 201 and the lower housing 202 (i.e., the connecting spring 10 is wrapped inside), or it can be set between the inner walls of the upper housing 201 and the lower housing 202 (i.e., the connecting spring 10 is on the outside). The flexible dustproof layer 9 can be made of soft cloth.

[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the treatment head 2 is flared. The flexible connecting layer 8 at the bottom edge of the treatment head 2 is fixedly connected to the heating layer 6 placed at the bottom of the ultrasonic transducer 5. The flexible connecting layer 8 can also be made of soft fabric. The main function of the flexible connecting layer 8 is to prevent excessive vibration of the ultrasonic transducer 5 from being transmitted to the lower shell 202 of the treatment head 2, while also preventing dust from entering the interior of the treatment head, thereby allowing more vibration to act on the acupoints being massaged. At the same time, the heating layer 6 can be a rigid heating layer 6 or a flexible heating layer 6. The common structure of the rigid heating layer 6 is a ceramic matrix, in which the heating material (such as molybdenum disilicide) is uniformly mixed in the ceramic material (such as silicon nitride) and formed into a whole through lamination and sintering. The preferred method is to use a flexible heating layer 6, which is made of alloy heating wire and flexible conductive fiber woven / braided, such as the heating layer 6 used in common electric blankets and heated clothing. This allows it to adhere better to the skin and ensures that it will not cause scratches to the human body.

[0027] Specifically, in practical use, the user can control the heating layer 6 to work by holding the handle 1 and pressing the control switch. When only the heating layer 6 is working, and the temperature of the heating layer 6 is normal as determined by observing the warning light 12, the heating layer 6 can be attached to the corresponding acupoint on the human body (when using this heating therapy device, a diagram of the acupoint locations on the human body and an explanation of the corresponding acupoint heat application effect can be used). By shaking the handle 1, the dual effects of massage and heating of the acupoint can be achieved. When the user wants to massage the acupoint by using the ultrasonic transducer 5, the ultrasonic transducer 5 can be controlled to vibrate by controlling the control switch, thus achieving the dual effects of massage and heat application of the acupoint.
