Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of physiotherapy device technology, and in particular relates to a magnetic elbow brace for stimulating acupoints of the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian. Background Technology

[0002] The Large Intestine Meridian of Hand-Yangming is an important meridian in traditional Chinese medicine's meridian theory. According to TCM theory, the human body has twelve primary meridians, each corresponding to a specific organ; the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand-Yangming corresponds to the large intestine. In TCM theory, the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand-Yangming is closely related to the physiological and pathological activities of the large intestine, primarily responsible for regulating defecation and processing waste products. It also has an internal-external relationship with the Lung Meridian, working synergistically to regulate the respiratory system. The Large Intestine Meridian contains many important acupoints, such as Quchi (LI11). Stimulating these acupoints through techniques like pressing and kneading can adjust bodily functions, such as improving blood circulation.

[0003] Traditional acupressure primarily involves using fingers or other hard objects to physically stimulate acupoints to achieve soothing and therapeutic effects. However, effective acupressure requires experience and skill; untrained individuals may struggle to locate accurate acupoints and apply appropriate pressure. Furthermore, the effects of acupressure are temporary, requiring frequent repetitions to maintain their effectiveness, and most people lack the time and energy to consistently receive acupressure services. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a magnetic elbow brace for stimulating acupoints on the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand-Yangming. Since acupoints such as Quchi (LI11) on the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand-Yangming are located near the elbow joint, several magnetic particles are incorporated into the elbow brace for active or passive stimulation of these acupoints, achieving a continuous pressure effect.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above problems is: a magnetic elbow brace for stimulating acupoints of the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand Yangming, comprising:

[0006] Elbow pad body, wherein the elbow pad body is formed into a cylinder by being surrounded by an elastic fabric layer;

[0007] Magnetic particles are disposed on the elbow brace body;

[0008] The magnetic particles are arranged in several units, and are located at least at the following acupoints on the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand Yangming: Shouwuli, Zhouliao, Quchi, Shousanli, Xialian, and Wenliu.

[0009] Stimulating acupoints such as Shouwuli, Zhouliao, Quchi, Shousanli, Xialian, and Wenliu can not only regulate gastrointestinal function but also effectively relieve pain and numbness in the upper limbs, assisting in the treatment of arm and elbow pain. For users with elbow pain, who already need elbow braces to relieve pain or protect the joint, this magnetic therapy can work in conjunction with the elbow brace to further assist in the treatment of the elbow joint.

[0010] In the active or passive stimulation of acupoints, active stimulation refers to the user consciously adjusting the position of the elbow brace or manually pressing it to increase pressure on specific acupoints. When the elbow brace is worn correctly, the magnetic particles can be precisely aligned with their corresponding acupoints without the user needing to know the specific location of the acupoints in advance, reducing the learning cost. The user only needs to adjust the applied force through manual operation. In addition, users can also activate the magnetic particles on the elbow brace by flexing and extending the elbow joint, rotating the arm, etc., to concentrate the stimulation of a specific acupoint, such as the Quchi acupoint, achieving single-handed operation.

[0011] Passive stimulation refers to the application of pressure to acupoints by magnetic particles through the design and inherent elasticity of the elbow brace, without the user needing to actively adjust or apply pressure. Users typically experience this during daily activities; as the arm moves or changes position, the magnetic particles continuously stimulate acupoints. This method is suitable for use during daily life or rest, allowing users to effortlessly obtain a mild and continuous acupoint stimulation effect.

[0012] The acupoints Shouwuli, Zhouliao, Quchi, Shousanli, Xialian, and Wenliu are located closer to the elbow joint among the acupoints of the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand Yangming, making them easier to receive passive stimulation. Therefore, the elbow brace is specially designed with magnetic particles aligned with these points.

[0013] Magnetic particles themselves are relatively hard, which can provide continuous and even pressure to acupoints. This helps to stimulate acupoints in the long term. Compared with acupuncture or manual massage, magnetic particles do not require continuous manual operation. After wearing magnetic protective gear, the magnetic particles can naturally apply pressure and provide a continuous stimulation effect.

[0014] Compared to traditional magnetic elbow braces, magnetic particles can concentrate magnetism more closely around acupoints, resulting in a better magnetic therapy effect.

[0015] The elbow brace is elastic, and for people with different arm sizes, the elastic stretching of the elbow brace allows the corresponding magnetic particles to accurately align with the relevant acupoints, ensuring the therapeutic effect.

[0016] A further preferred technical solution is that the magnetic particles are sewn onto the elbow pad body via a gasket.

[0017] The pads ensure that the magnetic particles remain in a stable position during use, preventing them from sliding or shifting with arm movement. This helps ensure continuous and precise stimulation of specific acupoints. The pad material can match the material of the elbow brace for greater user comfort.

[0018] A further preferred technical solution is that the magnetic particles are cylindrical.

[0019] The cylindrical shape offers excellent stability, allowing it to hold its position firmly within the brace and preventing it from rolling or shifting. This shape helps maintain the correct positioning of the magnetic particles during use, ensuring continuous and effective stimulation of the target acupoints. The rounded surface of the cylindrical shape provides a uniform contact area, distributing pressure more evenly upon contact with the skin, reducing localized discomfort, and enhancing wearing comfort. The cylindrical magnetic particles generate a more concentrated and balanced magnetic field, contributing to more effective magnetotherapy and fully utilizing the properties of magnetic materials.

[0020] A further preferred technical solution is that the edge of the cylinder has an arc-shaped chamfer.

[0021] The rounded chamfer reduces the sharpness of the edges, making the magnetic particles softer when in contact with the skin, reducing irritation and abrasion, and improving wearing comfort. The chamfering eliminates sharp edges, reducing the risk of scratching skin or clothing during use, a design feature particularly important during exercise.

[0022] A further preferred technical solution is that the magnetic particles are also located at the Shaohai acupoint of the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian.

[0023] The Shaohai acupoint is located near the elbow joint, on the inner side. Therefore, when wearing an elbow brace, the magnetic particles placed on this acupoint can provide continuous stimulation. The Shaohai acupoint is related to the Heart Meridian; stimulating this point helps regulate heart function, promotes blood circulation, and also helps soothe the mind, reduce stress and anxiety, thus having a positive effect on mood regulation.

[0024] A further preferred technical solution is that the magnetic particles are also located at the Quze acupoint on the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian.

[0025] The Quze acupoint is also located near the elbow joint, on the inner side. Therefore, when wearing an elbow brace, the magnetic particles placed on the relevant acupoint can provide continuous stimulation. The Quze acupoint is related to the pericardium meridian, which helps promote blood circulation and enhance heart health. Furthermore, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the pericardium meridian is considered to be related to emotions and mental state; stimulating the Quze acupoint can help relieve stress and emotional tension.

[0026] A further preferred technical solution is that: the elbow brace body is provided with a graphene layer, and the graphene layer is located between the magnetic particles and the human body.

[0027] Graphene is a single-layer, two-dimensional material composed of carbon atoms. The graphene layer can increase the structural strength of elbow braces, making them more wear-resistant and extending their lifespan. Furthermore, graphene can absorb body heat and radiate far-infrared rays. This radiation can penetrate deep into muscle tissue, helping to relieve muscle fatigue and stiffness. It can also work synergistically with magnetic particles to improve blood circulation.

[0028] A further preferred technical solution is that: a highly elastic fabric layer is also provided on the elastic fabric layer, and the highly elastic fabric layer is located at the elbow joint.

[0029] Highly elastic fabrics can better adapt to elbow joint movements, providing a greater range of motion, reducing restrictions on joint movement, and allowing for more free movement.

[0030] A further preferred technical solution is that the magnetic particles are also located at the Pianli acupoint on the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand Yangming.

[0031] The Pianli acupoint is located below the Wenliu acupoint. The magnetic particles at this point are located on the lower edge of the elbow brace. Stimulating the Pianli acupoint helps to regulate intestinal function, promote intestinal peristalsis, and relieve constipation. It also makes it easy to locate the acupoint. Once the magnetic particles are aligned with the Pianli acupoint, the other magnetic particles will naturally align with the corresponding acupoints.

[0032] A further preferred technical solution is that the magnetic particles are also located at the arm's dorsum acupoint of the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian.

[0033] The Arm-Nail acupoint is located above the Hand-Wu-Li acupoint. The magnetic particles at this point are located on the upper edge of the elbow brace. For people with limited shoulder joint mobility, stimulating the Arm-Nail acupoint may help improve shoulder flexibility and range of motion. It also makes it easy to locate the acupoint. Once the magnetic particles are aligned with the Arm-Nail acupoint, the other magnetic particles will naturally align with the corresponding acupoints.

[0034] A further preferred technical solution is that the magnetic particles are also located at the Qinglengyuan (cold abyss).

[0035] Xi Men (PC4) is an important acupoint located on the palmar side of the forearm, belonging to the Pericardium Meridian of Hand-Jueyin. Its main functions and effects include:

[0036] Calming the mind and soothing the nerves: The Ximen acupoint can help relieve heart-related discomfort, such as chest pain and palpitations, by regulating heart function to achieve a calming effect.

[0037] Clearing heat and stopping bleeding: This acupoint can also be used to treat various bleeding symptoms, such as vomiting blood and nosebleeds, by clearing heat toxins from the body to stop bleeding.

[0038] Regulating qi and relieving pain: For symptoms such as chest and hypochondrium pain, forearm pain, etc., Qimen acupoint also shows a certain relieving effect.

[0039] Treating inflammation and pain: Qimen acupoint is also used to treat inflammatory diseases and pain symptoms such as furuncles, epilepsy, etc.

[0040] A further preferred technical solution is that: the magnetic particles are also located at Qimen.

[0041] Qinglengyuan acupoint: "Qing" means quiet, "Leng" means cold, and "Yuan" means abyss. The name of Qinglengyuan acupoint means that the qi of the Sanjiao meridian cools and descends after dissipating heat and is located below the sky here. The substance of this acupoint is the water vapor cloud qi transmitted from Tianjing acupoint. After reaching this acupoint, it further dissipates heat and cools down. The cooled water vapor cloud qi is located below the sky, just like a fixed and cold abyss, so it is named Qinglengyuan. The meaning of the name Qinglengquan is the same as that of Qinglengyuan.

[0042] Qinglengyuan acupoint has the effects of dispelling wind-cold, dredging the meridian and relieving pain, and treating headache, stiffness of the neck, yellowish eyes, and inability to raise the shoulder and arm.

[0043] In summary, the present utility model has the following advantages:

[0044] 1. The present utility model is provided with a plurality of magnetic particles on the elbow guard to actively or passively stimulate relevant acupoints. Passively stimulating relevant acupoints achieves the effect of continuous pressing, and the magnetic particles can also be pressed with the other hand to actively stimulate relevant acupoints to obtain a stronger stimulation.

[0045] 2. The magnetic particles of the present utility model can concentrate the magnetism near the acupoints better, achieving a better magnetic therapy effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
