[0033] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0034] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0035] The main structure of the acupuncture manipulation intelligent training and evaluation device proposed by the present invention is arranged on the integral support 1, such as Figure 3As shown, the integral bracket 1 includes a circular top cover 17, a support plate vertically connected to the circular top cover 17, and a motor seat 20 arranged on the circular top cover 17. An acupuncture hole 18 is opened at the central position of the circular top cover 17, and the acupuncture hole 18 imitates an acupuncture point. The acupuncture needle is inserted from the acupuncture hole 18 during training or assessment. The support plate is vertically connected to the circular top cover 17, and a guide rail seat 19 parallel to the direction of the acupuncture hole 18 is provided on the support plate; a first travel switch mounting hole 21 is provided at one end of the guide rail seat 19 away from the circular top cover 17; a second travel switch mounting hole 22 is provided at one end of the support plate adjacent to the circular top cover 17, and a double bearing sleeve mounting hole 23 is opened at one end of the support plate away from the circular top cover 17, and the center line of the double bearing sleeve mounting hole 23 is on the same plane as the center line of the motor seat 20, and the plane is parallel to the guide rail seat 19.

[0036] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a guide rail 3 is installed on the guide rail seat 19, a sliding block 4 is provided on the guide rail 3, a sensor connecting frame 5 is fixed on the sliding block 4, and a pressure sensor 6 is fixedly installed on the sensor connecting frame 5; a first hollow rotating shaft 7 is provided on the pressure sensor 6, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the first hollow rotating shaft 7 is installed with a rotating bearing frame 24, and the rotating bearing frame 24 is installed with a connecting shaft 8, and the top of the connecting shaft 8 is opposite to the acupuncture hole 18; the first hollow rotating shaft 7 is also installed with a first angle sensor 9; the connecting shaft 8 is used to dock with the needle tip when the needle is inserted, the pressure sensor 6 detects the force transmitted from the needle tip, and the first angle sensor 9 detects whether the first hollow rotating shaft 7 is rotated and the rotation angle, so as to obtain the acupuncture angle.

[0037] A double bearing sleeve 10 is installed on the double bearing sleeve installation hole 23, and the double bearing sleeve 10 is used to install the transmission shaft 11; a motor 2 is installed on the motor seat 20, and a belt 12 is installed between the motor shaft of the motor 2 and the transmission shaft 11, together forming a transmission belt structure; the motor serves as the driving shaft of the belt transmission mechanism, providing resistance simulation during acupuncture training and assessment, and providing driving force during teaching. Figure 2 As shown, the slider 4 is fixedly connected to the belt 12 through the sensor connecting frame 5, and the slider 4 drives the belt 12 when sliding; Figure 5 As shown, the motor shaft is connected to the second hollow rotating shaft 14, and the second angle sensor 15 is installed in the second hollow rotating shaft 14 for detecting the depth of acupuncture. The principle is that the needle penetrates to make the slider 4 slide, and the slider 4 drives the belt 12. The belt 12 drives the motor shaft to rotate, thereby driving the rotation of the second hollow rotating shaft 14. The second angle sensor 15 detects whether the second hollow rotating shaft 14 rotates and the rotation angle, and converts the depth of acupuncture.

[0038] The first travel switch 13 is installed at the first travel switch installation hole 21, and the second travel switch 16 is installed at the second travel switch installation hole 22. Figure 2 As shown, the first travel switch 13 and the second travel switch 16 are respectively located on both sides of the slider 4, and the sensor connecting frame 5 on the slider 4 can contact the first travel switch 13 and the second travel switch 16 respectively, so the first travel switch 13 and the second travel switch 16 are used as limit switches of the slider 4.

[0039] In the above structure, the first angle sensor 9 and the second angle sensor 15 may be rotary encoders.

[0040] like Figure 6 The circuit structure diagram of the present invention is shown, wherein U_NUC505YO13Y is a microcontroller, the first angle sensor 9 and the second angle sensor 15 are connected to the microcontroller through the interface unit U_Port, and CSQ, SCK, and DATA in the figure are used to transmit the angle sensor signals; U_ADS122C04IPWR is used as an analog-to-digital conversion unit, and the pressure sensor 6 is connected to the microcontroller through U_ADS122C04IPWR, which is used to convert the signal of the pressure sensor 6 and send it to the microcontroller; U_MotorValveFan is a motor drive unit, and the microcontroller controls the motor 2 through the motor drive unit. The microcontroller is also connected to the power supply unit U_Power.

[0041] The working process of the present invention is as follows:

[0042] The circular top cover 17 is covered with a simulation layer of skin and muscle, and the acupuncture holes 18 are used as simulations of acupuncture points. During training or assessment, the operator inserts the needle from the simulation layer into the acupuncture holes 18 and pierces the top of the connecting shaft 8 by acupuncture techniques. The connecting shaft 8 is subjected to acupuncture force, and the pressure sensor 6 on the slider 4 detects the force of acupuncture.

[0043] At the same time, the slider 4 is displaced on the guide rail after being subjected to force, and the slider 4 drives the belt 12, and the belt 12 drives the motor shaft of the motor 2 for resistance simulation to rotate, thereby driving the rotation of the second hollow rotating shaft 14, and the second angle sensor 15 detects the rotation angle of the second hollow rotating shaft 14, and converts it to obtain the depth of acupuncture;

[0044] If the acupuncture is performed at an angle, the first hollow rotating shaft 7 connected to the connecting shaft 8 will rotate, and the first angle sensor 9 located on the first hollow rotating shaft 7 detects the rotation angle of the first hollow rotating shaft 7 and converts the acupuncture angle.

[0045] The data detected by the pressure sensor 6, the second angle sensor 15, and the first angle sensor 9 are sent to the microcontroller for display and analysis, thereby completing the analysis of the acupuncture technique.

[0046] When the present invention is used for teaching, the microcontroller drives the motor 2 to provide driving force to drive the belt 12, and the belt 12 drives the slider 4 to produce displacement. The needle in contact with the connecting shaft 8 will be subjected to the opposite force, and the pressure sensor 6, the second angle sensor 15, and the first angle sensor 9 will reach the standard values ​​set for teaching, so that the operator holding the needle can feel the angle, depth, and strength of acupuncture.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
