Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a portable physiotherapy device for eliminating lower limb edema. Background Art

[0002] Lower limb edema is one of the common clinical diseases, mainly in middle-aged and elderly patients. Western medicine believes that this disease can be a manifestation of systemic diseases, or it can cause simple lower limb edema without obvious incentives and complications. Traditional Chinese medicine classifies this disease as edema. "Plain Questions·Discussion on Water and Heat Points" states that "the lung... so its root lies in the kidney, and its tip lies in the lung, all are accumulations of water." The lung is responsible for regulating the water passage. When the lung fails to disperse and descend properly, the distribution of body fluids will be abnormal, leading to edema. "Plain Questions·Great Treatise on the Most Important Principles" says that "all dampness, swelling, and fullness belong to the spleen." The spleen is responsible for transporting and transforming water and dampness, emphasizing the role of strengthening the spleen in treating edema. "Plain Questions·Discussion on Water and Heat Points" records: "The kidney is the gateway of the stomach. When the gateway is blocked, water accumulates and follows its kind. It overflows onto the skin, so it is called swelling." It points out that the loss of restraint and the impairment of the kidney's function of promoting qi transformation are likely to cause the accumulation of body fluids and result in edema. Therefore, it is considered that edema is mostly related to the three viscera of the lung, spleen, and kidney. When the three viscera of the lung, spleen, and kidney are malnourished and their functions are damaged, the triple energizer fails to regulate and excrete, and the bladder fails to promote qi transformation, affecting the distribution and metabolism of body fluids, thus leading to the accumulation of body fluids in the body and resulting in edema. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine dialectical treatment of edema advocates using the methods of strengthening the earth to control water, regulating qi to dispel turbidity, and promoting blood circulation to remove water, so that the spleen is healthy, qi is smooth, and stasis is resolved, and the edema will naturally subside. In addition, the spleen meridian of foot-taiyin and the bladder meridian of foot-taiyang both run along the inner and outer sides of the lower limbs. According to the principle of "where the meridian passes, the treatment reaches", stimulating the acupoints on the lower limbs can also treat edema.

[0003] At present, the traditional methods for eliminating lower limb edema include drug treatment, massage, hot compress, etc. However, these methods often require a long treatment cycle, and the effects vary from person to person. In addition, although some large-scale edema elimination devices on the market have good effects, due to their large volume, complex operation, high price, etc., their popularization and application in daily life are limited.

[0004] Therefore, developing a portable, easy-to-operate, reasonably priced, and personalized lower limb edema elimination device has become an urgent problem to be solved in the current medical care field. Content of the Utility Model

[0027] During use, the acupoint massage pad 3, the strip massage pad 4 and the skin contact layer 5 are assembled into one. At this time, the body 1 is wound and tied around the outer wall of the patient's lower limb. According to the size of the lower limb, the distance of the adhesive tape adhesion on the outer side of the magic body 1 is adjusted. When acupoint fixed-point massage of the patient's lower limb is required at this time, the air pump 2 is controlled by controlling the control panel 21, and at the same time, the solenoid valve group 22 is controlled to control the on-off, and then the gas is transported through the first connecting pipe 32 and the first and second diodes 34 into the internal of each acupoint airbag 31 to inflate the inside, so that the airbag massages and stimulates the corresponding leg acupoints, thereby alleviating the fatigue of the lower limb, opening the meridians, and promoting the exercise of the lower limb;

One end of the air pump 2 is fixedly connected with a storage battery. The body 1 is bundled on the outside of the leg by means of magic tape, and a traditional Chinese medicine hot compress pack can be placed inside the external application pad 6.

[0031] In summary, the present utility model has the following working principle: during use, medical staff assemble the acupoint massage pad 3, strip massage pad 4 and skin contact layer 5 into one body. At this time, the body 1 is wound and tied to the outer wall of the patient's lower limb. According to the size of the lower limb, the distance of the surgical patch adhesion on the outer side of the magic body 1 is adjusted. When acupoint fixed-point massage of the patient's lower limb is required, the air pump 2 is controlled by controlling the control panel 21, and at the same time, the solenoid valve group 22 is controlled to control the on-off, and then the gas is transported through the first connecting pipe 32 and the first and second pipes 34 into the internal parts of each acupoint airbag 31 for inflation, so that the airbag massages and stimulates the corresponding leg acupoints, thereby reducing lower limb fatigue, opening the meridians, and promoting the exercise of the lower limbs;

[0032] When there is swelling in the lower limb, the solenoid valve group 22 is controlled by the control panel 21 at this time, and air is transported through the second connecting pipe 42 to supply air to the second and second pipes 44 at the lowest end first, and then the strip airbag 41 at the lowest end is inflated, and then inflated upward in turn, thereby pushing the blood and tissues of the lower limb to move upward, further promoting blood return, and then operating in a cycle to effectively massage and physiotherapize the lower limb and effectively eliminate lower limb edema;

[0033] In addition, medical staff usually need to apply hot compress to the lower limbs of patients with a traditional Chinese medicine hot compress pack for eliminating edema.
