[0049] Embodiment 2:

[0050] The present invention provides another cupping device 20, comprising a cup body 21, a first sealing gasket 221, a second sealing gasket 222, a pressure sensor 23; a light emitting diode 24; a main control circuit 25; a housing 26; a temperature sensing component, wherein the temperature sensing component comprises a temperature sensor 271 and a flexible PCB with adhesive backing 272; the main control circuit 25 is respectively connected to the pressure sensor 23, the temperature sensor 271 and the light emitting diode 24 by wire and / or wirelessly.

[0051] Specifically, the tank body 21 has a tank mouth 211, the edge of the tank mouth 211 is flat, and can be used to adsorb relatively flat parts of the human body surface (such as the back, legs, and head of the human body). The tank body 211 is cylindrical. Of course, the edge of the tank mouth 211 can also be evenly provided with downward convex shapes, so that the tank mouth 211 forms a wave shape. The tank mouth 211 is wavy, and the pressure on different parts of the human skin in contact with the tank mouth 211 is different when pressurized, so that the adsorption force is enhanced, the sealing effect is good, and it can be adsorbed on different positions (such as joints). The top center position has a first through hole 212 and a second through hole 213.

[0052] The pressure sensor 23 is attached to the second through hole 213; a second sealing pad 222 is used for sealing connection to prevent air leakage; the second sealing pad 222 is made of silicone rubber or fluororubber, which can withstand high temperatures above 200°C. The pressure sensor 23 is used to detect the negative pressure value of the air in the tank and send it to the main control circuit 25.

[0053] There are four temperature sensors 271, which are attached to the edge of the tank mouth 211 of the tank body 21 through a flexible PCB with adhesive 272, and the other end leads to the first through hole 212, and is sealed with a first sealing gasket 221 to prevent air leakage; the temperature sensor 271 is used to detect the temperature value of the air in the tank body 21 and send it to the main control circuit 25.

In this case, the cupping device can also be used to perform cupping operations on real people.

[0058] Furthermore, the cupping device in the above embodiment 1 and embodiment 2 may also include a third through hole, which may be arranged at any position around the cup body, and a one-way check structure is arranged inside to prevent air leakage. The through hole may be used to connect an external air extraction gun for vacuum cupping operation.

[0059] Embodiment three:

[0060] The present invention also provides a Chinese medicine cupping training device, comprising any cupping device in the above embodiments, and a training module. In this embodiment, the training module is a human back model 30; specifically,

[0061] The human back model 30 can also be replaced with other teaching models (such as leg models, infant back models, etc.) to simulate cupping training for different patients. The human back model 30 is structurally divided into three layers, which are the epidermis 31, the dermis 32 and the subcutaneous tissue 33 from the outside to the inside; wherein, the epidermis 31 is made of ultraviolet color-changing silica gel (ultraviolet color-changing powder is added during the production process), and the color is normal human skin color in indoor environment, with a thickness of 1-2mm and a hardness of HA8-HA15 on Shore A; the dermis 32 is made of silicone rubber material, with a thickness of 2mm-5mm and a hardness of HA8-HA15 on Shore A; the subcutaneous tissue 33 is made of jelly / gel material, with a thickness of 10mm-40mm and a hardness of HA0-HA5 on Shore A; the human back model 30 can touch the simulated bones from the epidermis 31, providing bone landmarks for medical students when performing treatment operations.

[0062] The working mode of the cupping device 10 in the first embodiment is as follows:

[0063] When the trainees perform specific operations, they can perform the same operations on the cupping device 10 according to the real cupping technique. For example, when cupping the human back model 30, the cupping device 10 is adsorbed on the human back model 30 by the flash fire method, and the pressure sensor 13 detects the negative pressure value in the cup body in real time and transmits it to the main control circuit 15. If the negative pressure in the cup is lower than -20kPa, the main control circuit 15 controls the ultraviolet light emitting diode 14 to turn on and irradiate the cupping area of ​​the human back model 30. After 5-10 minutes, the epidermis of the cupping area of ​​the human back model 30 changes to blue-ultraviolet due to the irradiation of ultraviolet light, simulating the ruddy and congested effect of the skin after cupping of a real person; after removing the cup, the epidermis is no longer exposed to ultraviolet light, and the color gradually returns to skin color from blue-ultraviolet, indicating that the cupping technique is correct; if the negative pressure in the cup is higher than -20kPa, the ultraviolet light emitting diode is turned off, indicating that the cupping technique is wrong.

[0064] The cupping device 20 in the second embodiment works as follows:

[0065] When students perform specific operations, they can also perform the same operations on the cupping device 20 according to the real cupping techniques. For example, when cupping is performed on the human back model 30, the cupping device 20 is adsorbed on the human back model 30 by the flash fire method. At this time, not only the negative pressure value of the air in the cup body 21 needs to be determined, but also the temperature value needs to be determined. When the pressure sensor 23 detects in real time that the negative pressure value in the cup body 21 is lower than -20 kPa, and the temperature detected by the four temperature sensors is lower than 60°C (if the temperature is higher than 60°C, it will burn the human skin), the main control circuit 26 controls the ultraviolet light emitting diode 24 to turn on and irradiate the cupping area of ​​the human back model 30. After 5-10 minutes, the epidermis in the cupping area of ​​the human back model 30 turns into purple due to the irradiation of ultraviolet light, simulating the purple and dark purple and dark cupping marks of real people, insufficient blood supply, poor menstruation and blood stasis; after removing the cup, the epidermis is no longer exposed to ultraviolet light, and the color gradually returns to skin color from purple, indicating that the cupping technique is correct; if the negative pressure in the cup is higher than -20 kP and / or the temperature is higher than 60°C, the ultraviolet light emitting diode is turned off, indicating that the cupping technique is wrong.

[0066] This embodiment may also include a host computer, which is connected to the cupping device 10 or the cupping device 20 via wireless, wired or Internet, and communicates with each other through a main control circuit; the host computer can issue medical records, and during the cupping process, a real-time trend graph of the negative pressure change in the cup and a real-time trend graph of the temperature change can be displayed on the display, so as to observe in real time whether the user's cupping technique is accurate.

[0067] Furthermore, the epidermis of the human back model in this embodiment can also be made of red color-changing silicone material, and the light-emitting diodes of the cupping device also use ultraviolet light-emitting diodes. When cupping is performed, the cupping area of ​​the human back model appears red, simulating the phenomenon of yin deficiency, qi and blood deficiency, or yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire after cupping. Other colors can also be used to simulate different reactions of different patients after cupping.

[0068] Although the above is a brief description of the embodiments of the present invention, the present invention may also be embodied in other forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the above description is for illustration only and not for limitation. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be defined by the appended claims rather than the above description in the specification.
