Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy technology, and in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine cupping device. Background Technology
[0002] Cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment tool used to stimulate specific acupoints on the body through vacuum suction, thereby regulating qi and blood, soothing the meridians, dispelling wind and cold, and relieving pain. Cupping devices are generally made of materials such as glass, plastic, or silicone. During operation, negative pressure is usually generated by heating the air inside the cup (such as fire cupping) or by using a manual pump to extract air (vacuum cupping), which adheres the cup to the skin and creates a vacuum effect, thereby promoting blood circulation and lymphatic flow.
[0003] The main function of existing TCM cupping devices is to apply cupping pressure, but they do not include a massage function. Therefore, they cannot provide additional muscle relaxation effects during the cupping process. The drawback is that users can only rely on the negative pressure effect of cupping during treatment and cannot enjoy a more comprehensive massage and relaxation effect.
[0004] Therefore, existing TCM cupping devices primarily function by applying cupping pressure, but lack a massage function. Consequently, they cannot provide additional muscle relaxation during the movement of the cupping device. Users can only rely on the negative pressure of the cupping, unable to enjoy a more comprehensive massage and relaxation effect. A new TCM cupping device could be designed with an added massage function. As the cupping device moves across the back, it would gently roll and press, further promoting blood circulation and muscle relaxation, enhancing the therapeutic effect, and reducing discomfort during use. This would combine the dual therapeutic effects of cupping and massage, improving the user experience and treatment outcomes. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the problem that existing TCM cupping devices primarily function to apply cupping pressure but lack a massage function, thus failing to provide additional muscle relaxation during cupping, users can only rely on the negative pressure of cupping and cannot enjoy a more comprehensive massage and relaxation effect during treatment.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a traditional Chinese medicine cupping device, including a main body; and a massage component. A lid is connected to the top of the main body, and the massage component is provided on the top of the lid. The massage component includes a lead screw, a handle, a groove, a limiting plate, a connecting rod, a connecting block, and a ball bearing. The lead screw is threadedly connected to the top of the lid, and the handle is connected to the top of the lead screw. Two grooves are symmetrically opened at the bottom of the handle along its vertical center line. The end of the lead screw away from the handle is connected to the limiting plate, and the bottom of the limiting plate is connected to the connecting rod. The end of the connecting rod away from the limiting plate is connected to the connecting block, and the bottom of the connecting block is rotatably connected to the ball bearing. The limiting plate is movably connected to the lid.
[0007] Preferably, by setting up a massage component, rotating the handle causes the lead screw to rotate, which in turn causes the limiting plate to rotate, and the limiting plate to rotate the connecting rod. By moving the lead screw vertically, the height of the connecting block and the ball bearings can be adjusted, and the ball bearings can be used to provide a massage effect as needed, thus improving practicality.
[0008] Preferably, a scraper ring is connected to the bottom of the main body, and the outer surface of the scraper ring is inclined.
[0009] Preferably, the outer end of the scraping ring is connected with multiple connecting plates at equal intervals, and the lower end of the connecting plates is rotatably connected with massage beads.
[0010] Preferably, the front end of the main body is connected to a fixing block, and the front end of the fixing block has a straight groove.
[0011] Preferably, the inside of the straight groove has a hole that runs through the inside of the main body, and a slider is slidably connected inside the straight groove.
[0012] Preferably, the front end of the cap is connected to the position of the fixing block to an ignition module, and an essential oil bottle is provided at the bottom of the ignition module.
[0013] Preferably, a button is provided on the top of the ignition module, and the ignition module is threadedly connected to the essential oil bottle.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. By setting up a massage component, rotating the handle drives the lead screw to rotate, which in turn drives the limit plate to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod to rotate. The vertical movement of the lead screw adjusts the height of the connecting block and the ball bearings. The ball bearings provide a massage effect as needed, improving practicality. This addresses the problem that existing TCM cupping devices mainly use negative pressure for cupping but do not incorporate a massage function. Therefore, they cannot provide additional muscle relaxation effects during the movement of the cupping device, and users can only rely on the negative pressure of cupping during treatment, unable to enjoy a more comprehensive massage and relaxation effect.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a traditional Chinese medicine cupping device, comprising a main body 1 and a massage component. A cover 2 is connected to the top of the main body 1, and the massage component is disposed on the top of the cover 2. The massage component includes a lead screw 31, a handle 32, a groove 33, a limiting plate 34, a connecting rod 35, a connecting block 36, and ball bearings 37. The lead screw 31 is threadedly connected to the top of the cover 2, and the handle 32 is connected to the top of the lead screw 31. Two grooves 33 are symmetrically formed on the bottom of the handle 32 along its vertical center line. The end of the lead screw 31 away from the handle 32 is connected to the limiting plate 34. A connecting rod 35 is connected to the bottom of the limiting plate 34. A connecting block 36 is connected to the end of the connecting rod 35 away from the limiting plate 34. A ball bearing 37 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting block 36. The limiting plate 34 is movably connected to the cover 2. By setting the massage component, rotating the handle 32 will drive the screw 31 to rotate. The screw 31 will drive the limiting plate 34 to rotate. The rotation of the limiting plate 34 will drive the connecting rod 35 to rotate. By moving the screw 31 vertically, the height of the connecting block 36 and the ball bearing 37 can be adjusted. The ball bearing 37 can be used to provide a massage effect as needed, which improves practicality.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, a scraping ring 41 is connected to the bottom of the main body 1. The outer surface of the scraping ring 41 is inclined. The scraping ring 41 can quickly scrape the skin until it turns red, saving the user's effort and improving practicality. Multiple connecting plates 42 are connected at equal intervals to the outer end of the scraping ring 41. Massage beads 43 are rotatably connected to the lower end of the connecting plates 42. The massage beads 43 can help to massage the device when it moves on the back, improving the quality of cupping. A fixing block 51 is connected to the front end of the main body 1. A straight groove 52 is opened at the front end of the fixing block 51. The fixing block 51 is used to help spray alcohol spray into the device, thereby disinfecting the inside of the device.
[0024] Please see Figures 2-4In this embodiment, a hole 53 is formed inside the straight groove 52, penetrating the interior of the main body 1. A slider 54 is slidably connected inside the straight groove 52. By moving the slider 54, it slides within the straight groove 52, thereby opening the hole 53 and spraying alcohol into it for easy disinfection. An ignition module 55 is connected to the front end of the cap 2, corresponding to the position of the fixing block 51. An essential oil bottle 56 is provided at the bottom of the ignition module 55. The ignition module 55 can quickly create a vacuum inside the device. A button 57 is provided at the top of the ignition module 55. The ignition module 55 is threadedly connected to the essential oil bottle 56. The essential oil bottle 56 is filled with essential oil and installed on the ignition module 55. Pressing the button 57 activates the ignition module 55, which ignites the alcohol that has just been sprayed in, causing the device to ignite instantly. This consumes oxygen and gives the device an adsorption capacity, facilitating disinfection while also making it easy for the user to operate and improving safety.
[0025] During operation, the essential oil bottle 56 is filled with essential oil and installed on the ignition module 55. The slider 54 is moved, sliding within the straight groove 52 to open the hole 53, allowing alcohol spray to be injected for disinfection. Pressing button 57 activates the ignition module 55, which ignites the injected alcohol, causing an instantaneous fire inside the device. This consumes oxygen and gives the device adsorption capacity, facilitating disinfection while also improving user operation and safety. The device is then placed on the patient's back, and the handle 32 is rotated. The handle 32 rotates, causing the lead screw 31 to rotate. The lead screw 31 then rotates the limiting plate 34, which in turn rotates the connecting rod 35. The vertical movement of the lead screw 31 adjusts the height of the connecting block 36 and the ball bearing 37. The ball bearing 37 provides a massage effect as needed, improving practicality. The outer surface of the scraping ring 41 is inclined, allowing it to quickly redden the skin, saving the user's effort and further enhancing practicality. Multiple massage beads 43 assist in providing a massage effect when the device moves on the back, improving the quality of cupping.
[0026] Through the above steps, by setting the massage component, rotating the handle 32 causes the lead screw 31 to rotate, which in turn causes the limiting plate 34 to rotate, which in turn causes the connecting rod 35 to rotate. By vertically moving the lead screw 31, the height of the connecting block 36 and the ball bearing 37 can be adjusted. The ball bearing 37 can be used to provide a massage effect as needed, improving practicality. This solves the problem that existing TCM cupping devices mainly use negative pressure for cupping, but do not include a massage function. Therefore, they cannot provide additional muscle relaxation effects during the movement of the cupping device, and users can only rely on the negative pressure of cupping during treatment, unable to enjoy a more comprehensive massage and relaxation effect.
