Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to an acupuncture cupping device. Background Technology

[0002] Acupuncture and cupping are two widely used techniques in traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture regulates the flow of qi and blood in the meridians by stimulating acupoints, thereby treating diseases. Cupping promotes blood circulation and metabolism through negative pressure adsorption on the skin, and is used to relieve pain, dispel cold and dampness, etc. However, when acupuncture and cupping are used in combination, the different mechanisms of action of the two therapies often bring some technical challenges that limit their effectiveness.

[0003] In existing applications of combined acupuncture and cupping therapy, some practitioners first insert acupuncture needles into acupoints, then cover the acupuncture site with a cupping device and create negative pressure. While this method combines the two therapies, the negative pressure can cause the skin to bulge, altering the insertion position of the acupuncture needles and potentially causing pain or injury at the acupuncture site. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an acupuncture cupping device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the insertion depth of the acupuncture needle is changed due to the existing operation method of first inserting the acupuncture needle into the acupoint and then covering the acupuncture site with the cupping device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an acupuncture cupping device, comprising a cupping cover and acupuncture needles, wherein a pipe is provided through the inside of the cupping cover, the top of the pipe extends out of the cupping cover and the bottom is located inside the cupping cover, and the acupuncture needles are arranged along the through hole of the pipe.

[0006] A sealing block is fixed to the side wall of the acupuncture needle, and a limiting component that restricts the position of the acupuncture needle is provided on the top of the sealing block;

[0007] During the process of generating negative pressure inside the cupping cover, the limiting component keeps the acupuncture needle in a fixed position. When the cupping cover is in a stable negative pressure state, the limiting component releases the acupuncture needle, which then moves along the direction of the pipe opening.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the cupping cover is fixed with a buckle, and a sliding plate is slidably engaged between the cupping cover and the buckle, with the pipe fixed at the central axis of the sliding plate.

[0009] Preferably, the buckle is a U-shaped structure with an opening in the middle, and the slide plate is slidably engaged in the opening in the middle of the buckle.

[0010] Preferably, a sealing plate is slidably provided between the cupping cover and the pipe, and the sealing plate is set as a flexible plate near the central axis.

[0011] Preferably, the sealing block is slidably connected to the pipe, and the four sides of the sealing block are tightly fitted to the inner sidewall of the pipe.

[0012] Preferably, at least two sets of the aforementioned limiting components are provided, and they are distributed at equal angles on the top of the sealing block.

[0013] Preferably, the limiting component includes a metal sheet, which is fixed to the side wall of the acupuncture needle. The metal sheet is elastically bent to form a bending piece, and an angle is formed between the bending piece and the metal sheet.

[0014] Beneficial effects

[0015] The technical effects and advantages of this acupuncture and cupping device:

[0016] 1. In the application of this acupuncture cupping device for combined acupuncture and cupping therapy, the sealing plate, pipe and sealing block constitute the sealing conditions between the cupping cover and the inside of the pipe. The acupuncture cupping device is fixed on the user's skin surface by cupping. The sliding plate moves the pipe and acupuncture needle to determine the acupuncture position. When using this acupuncture cupping device, cupping can be performed first and then acupuncture. The position of acupuncture can be determined after the cupping operation, which improves the accuracy of acupuncture insertion.

[0017] 2. During the cupping process, the position of the sealing plate is restricted by the protrusion of the clamping block, and the cupping process continues. The position of the acupuncture needle is constrained by the limiting component, so that the acupuncture needle moves after the negative pressure is formed by cupping, realizing the process of cupping first and then acupuncture.

[0027] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without one or more of these details. In order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features known in the art have not been described.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, the directions mentioned herein, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside, are based on the directions shown in the figures of this utility model, and are explained here together.

[0029] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.

[0030] Please see as follows Figures 1-4 The acupuncture cupping device shown includes a cupping cover 101 and an acupuncture needle 201. The cupping cover 101, together with a sealing plate 121, can be used for cupping operations, and the acupuncture needle 201 can be used for acupuncture operations when it is inserted downwards.

[0031] During the process of generating negative pressure inside the cupping cover 101, the limiting component keeps the acupuncture needle 201 in a fixed position. When the cupping cover 101 is in a stable negative pressure state, the limiting component releases the acupuncture needle 201, and the acupuncture needle 201 moves along the through hole of the pipe 112. In the process of using the technical solution involved in this application, the cupping operation is performed first, followed by the acupuncture operation. After the cupping operation is completed, it is helpful to determine the acupuncture insertion position and improve the accuracy of the acupuncture insertion position.

[0032] In this embodiment, a pipe 112 is provided inside the cupping cover 101. The top of the pipe 112 extends out of the cupping cover 101, and the bottom is located inside the cupping cover 101. The acupuncture needle 201 is arranged along the through hole of the pipe 112.

[0033] A sealing plate 121 is slidably disposed between the cupping cover 101 and the pipe 112, and the sealing plate 121 is airtightly fitted with the cupping cover 101 and the pipe 112.

[0034] like Figure 2 The diagram shows the state when the sealing plate 121 is fully pulled up and no acupuncture is being performed. When the sealing plate 121 is pulled up, the air pressure in the cavity formed by the sealing plate 121, the cupping cover 101 and the user's skin decreases, causing the cupping cover 101 to adhere to the user's skin surface. Cupping can be performed in this state.

[0035] Two connecting rods 122 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the sealing plate 121. The top of the two connecting rods 122 passes through the cupping cover 101 and a control ring 123 is fixed at the top of the two connecting rods 122. When cupping is required, the control ring 123 is pulled away from the user's skin to move the sealing plate 121 and perform cupping.

[0036] In this embodiment, a buckle 102 is fixed to the top of the cupping cover 101. Two locking blocks 103 are provided on the top of the buckle 102. Both locking blocks 103 have protrusions at the same height on opposite sides. Two fixing plates 124 are fixed inside the control ring 123. After pulling the control ring 123 upward to the appropriate position, the fixing plates 124 will lock into the protrusions of the locking blocks 103. At this time, after releasing the force on the control ring 123, the control ring 123 is fixed by the positional relationship between the fixing plates 124 and the protrusions, maintaining the cupping state.

[0037] In this embodiment, a sliding plate 111 is slidably engaged between the cupping cover 101 and the buckle block 102. The pipe 112 is fixed at the central axis of the sliding plate 111. The buckle block 102 is a U-shaped structure with an opening in the middle. The sliding plate 111 is slidably engaged in the opening in the middle of the buckle block 102.

[0038] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the sliding plate 111 is located between the cupping cover 101 and the buckle 102, and the sliding plate 111 can slide between the cupping cover 101 and the buckle 102. When the sliding plate 111 slides relative to the cupping cover 101, the pipe 112 moves together with the sliding plate 111. At this time, the relative position of the pipe 112 and the sealing plate 121 changes. The sealing plate 121 is set as a flexible plate 1211 near the central axis. Through the cooperation between the flexible plate 1211 and the pipe 112, the flexible plate 1211 adjusts its state as the pipe 112 moves. The movement of the pipe 112 will not affect the movement of the sealing plate 121.

[0039] In this embodiment, a limiting plate 113 is provided at the top of the inner wall of the pipe 112, and a limiting plate 113 is also provided below the limiting plate 113. When the sealing block 202 is attached to the lower limiting plate 113, the acupuncture needle 201 is inserted into the user's skin.

[0040] A sealing block 202 is fixed to the side wall of the acupuncture needle 201. A limiting component is provided on the top of the sealing block 202 to restrict the position of the acupuncture needle 201. At least two sets of limiting components are provided and are distributed at equal angles on the top of the sealing block 202. The limiting component includes a metal sheet 203, which is fixed to the side wall of the acupuncture needle 201. The metal sheet 203 is elastically bent into a bending piece 204, which forms an angle with the bending piece 204. The sealing block 202 is slidably connected to the pipe 112, and the four sides of the sealing block 202 are tightly fitted with the inner side wall of the pipe 112.

[0041] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the highest and lowest positions of the sealing block 202 are limited by two limiting plates 113.

[0042] When acupuncture is not required, the position of the acupuncture needle 201 needs to be restricted. At this time, the bending piece 204 rests against the top of the upper limiting plate 113, so that the acupuncture needle 201 will not move from the start of negative pressure to the completion of negative pressure.

[0043] During acupuncture, the bent piece 204 is squeezed inward by the fingers, and the bent piece 204 and the metal piece 203 adhere to the side wall of the acupuncture needle 201, so that the acupuncture needle 201 can move downward together with the sealing block 202.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
