Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a health care device, body, method or system, particularly those based on traditional Chinese medicine medical theory. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture theories are scattered throughout ancient Chinese classics, with the core and foundation of these theories evident in the *Huangdi Neijing Suwen* and *Lingshu*. These cultural treasures not only reveal the sophistication of medical principles and logic, but also demonstrate their remarkable clinical efficacy, which is too numerous to list here. For example, acupuncture has a remarkably significant analgesic effect in clinical practice; for certain organic lesions and even cancer, the analgesic effect can last for a week, as frequently reported. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The following is an overview of the subject matter described in detail herein. This overview is not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

[0004] The *Huangdi Neijing Suwen* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic - Basic Questions) chapter "On the Eight Principles of Divine Insight" records: "Observing the unseen refers to the form, qi, and vital energy not manifesting outwardly, yet only the skilled physician (the inventor notes, this could refer to a physician, a skilled doctor, Hua Tuo, or Bian Que) knows it. They use the temperature of the sun, the waxing and waning of the moon, and the rising and falling of the qi in the four seasons, combining and regulating them. The skilled physician often sees this first, yet it is not outwardly visible (the inventor notes, ordinary people cannot perceive it), hence the saying 'observing the unseen.' Understanding the infinite allows one to pass it on to future generations; this is why the skilled physician is different. However, because it is not outwardly visible, all others cannot see it. It is formless to look at and tasteless to taste, hence the term 'unseen,' like a divine illusion (the inventor notes, for those who do not understand or believe, it is like talking about ghosts and spirits)." The chapter continues: "The 'false evil' refers to the 'false evil qi' of the eight principles. The 'true evil' refers to the body exerting force, sweating, opening the pores, and encountering a 'false wind,' within which..." "Humans are subtle, so their condition is unknown, and their form unseen (the inventor notes that in the early stages of wind-evil or disease, the symptoms are extremely mild, and most people wouldn't notice them)." The text continues, "The superior physician saves the budding disease by first observing the Qi of the three parts and nine pulses, regulating it thoroughly to prevent further deterioration; hence the term 'superior physician' (the inventor notes that a superior physician sees the subtle signs and eliminates the source of the disease at an extremely early stage). The inferior physician saves the disease that has already developed, or that has already deteriorated (the inventor notes that an inferior physician treats a disease that has already taken hold, and may only treat the symptoms, not the root cause). Saving the disease that has already developed means not knowing the imbalance of the three parts and nine pulses, leading to its deterioration; knowing its location means knowing the location of the diseased pulses in the three parts and nine pulses and treating accordingly. Hence the saying, 'Guarding its gates, one cannot know its condition but see its form.'" The purpose and ideal of this invention is to ensure that every family or individual has a superior physician to protect or accompany them throughout their life.

It is mainly used to treat sore throat, toothache, epistaxis, facial paralysis, drowsiness, and shoulder and back pain. The health care device 100 includes a health care body 110, which has two hollow semi-circular cross-section fixed bodies 102 pivotally connected through a pivot portion 101. Each body has a solid semi-circular cross-section rod 103, and each semi-circular cross-section rod 103 has a semi-circular male thread 106. Each fixed body 102 has a recess 104 for receiving a finger joint portion 12, for example, the joint portion of the middle phalanx (second) and proximal phalanx (third). A cleanable or disinfectable cloth or disposable paper soft layer 105, folded multiple times to accommodate the user's size or finger thickness, determines or fixes the positional relationship between the health care device 100 and the index finger 1 or the acupoint 11 (in this example) when the two fixing bodies 102 are closed, thereby achieving the previously mentioned or desired effects. When the two fixing bodies 102 are closed, the two semi-circular cross-section rods 103 form a complete bolt; and the more prominent parts of the proximal end 13 of the middle joint of the index finger and the distal end 14 of the proximal joint of the index finger are fitted into the recessed portion 104.

[0394] A fixing component 200 has a rod body 201, which provides the distance or height required for installing or operating an acupoint device 300. The rod body 201 has a first end 202, which is locked to the male threads 106 on two semi-circular cross-section rod bodies 103 by the female thread 203 inside the first end 202, thus fixing the rod body 201 to the health care device 100. At the same time, the locking of the first end 202 with the two semi-circular cross-section rod bodies 103 also fixes the index finger 1 inside the two semi-circular cross-section fixing bodies 102. The rod body 201 has a second end 204, and a universal joint ball seat 205 is provided on the second end 204 for connecting to the universal ball joint 209 on the connector head 206 of an acupoint device. Due to technological advancements, modern universal joints have a very large rotation angle and can withstand considerable impact at a specific angle and position without displacement. Furthermore, if one universal joint is insufficient, several can be connected in series to increase the range of its orientation change.

[0395] The acupoint working component connector 206 has two lips 207 for inserting and securing the acupoint working component 300 within its hollow space 208. The acupoint working component 300 can be an energy working unit such as microwave, laser, or radiation, and has a wire 301 to receive electrical power supply so as to output energy from an acupoint working component 302. Due to the presence of the connector 206 and the fixing member 200, the working energy release unit 300 can appear in the form of an acupoint working component, and the output of working energy is concentrated here. Furthermore, since the relative position between the acupoint working component 300 and the acupoint 11 can be determined, the arrangement or setting of the energy that the acupoint working component 302 of the acupoint working component 300 can or should output can be precisely controlled or adjusted according to the specific needs of the user / patient.

[0396] Furthermore, the health care device 100, the fixing component 200, and the acupoint working component 300 are extremely compact. As long as the wire 301 is long enough, the user can move their position freely and act at will without altering the relative position between the acupoint working component 300 and the Erjian acupoint 11, thus not affecting the desired physiotherapy / treatment effect, which is ideal. Moreover, there are various ways to connect the acupoint working component connector 206 to the acupoint working component 300, or to connect the first end 202 to the semi-circular cross-section rod 103. For example, one can provide an annular protrusion while another fitting component provides a matching annular groove, making assembly between the first end 202 and the semi-circular cross-section rod 103 easier. Therefore, it can be easily understood that the figures or embodiments described are merely one example of achieving the objectives disclosed in this invention.

[0397] The first embodiment of the present invention is summarized below: A health care device 100 includes a health care body 110 for positioning a body part 1 of a user, so as to maintain a first specific positional relationship between the body part 1 and the body part 1, wherein the body part 1 has an acupoint 11; an acupoint working component 300 for performing a health care function on the acupoint 11; and a workpiece retainer 200 having a first end 202 connected to the health care body 110 and a second end 204 for fixing the acupoint working component 300, so that under the constraint of the first specific positional relationship, the acupoint working component 300 performs the health care function under the condition of having a second specific positional relationship with the acupoint 11.

[0398] As in the health care device 100 of the first embodiment, the acupoint working component 300 has an acupoint working component 302, and the second specific positional relationship refers to the positional relationship between the acupoint 11 and the acupoint working component 302.

[0399] As in the first embodiment of the health care device 100, the health care body 110 is used to relative position one of the user's fingers, toes, arms or legs.

[0400] As in the first embodiment of the health care device 100, the health care body 110 is composed of two hollow semi-circular cross-section fixed bodies 102 that are pivotally connected. Each fixed body 102 has a semi-circular cross-section rod 103, and the two semi-circular cross-section rods 103 are combined into a connecting rod.

[0401] As in the first embodiment of the health care device 100, each semi-circular cross-section fixing body 102 has an inner recessed area 104 to adapt to the joint part of the body part or finger 1, so that the health care body 110 can fit properly or be positioned relative to the body part 1.

[0402] As in the first embodiment of the health care device 100, the fixing member 200 has a first end 202, which is hollow to accommodate a connecting rod formed by two semi-circular cross-section rods 103, and the two hollow semi-circular cross-section fixing bodies 102 are thus tightly fitted into the body part 1 therein.

[0403] As in the first embodiment of the health care device 100, the fixing member 200 has a second end 204, which is fixedly connected to the acupoint working member connector 206 for connecting the acupoint working member 300, and the fixing medium may be a universal joint or a plurality of universal joints connected in series.

[0404] As in the first embodiment of the health care device 100, the connection method between the first end 202 of the fixing member 200 and the connecting rod formed by the two semi-circular cross-section rods 103, or the connection method between the acupoint working member connector 206 and the acupoint working member 300, can be male and female threads, or elastic holding, or due to the material characteristics, it can be a ring protrusion and ring concave engagement method.

[0405] From another perspective, the aforementioned embodiment discloses a health care device 100, including a health care body 110 for fixing one of a user's body parts 1 so as to maintain a first specific positional relationship between the body parts 1 and the body parts 1; and a workpiece holder 200 having a first end 202 connected to the health care body 110 and a second end 204 for fixing an acupoint workpiece 300 so that the acupoint workpiece 300 performs the health care work under the condition of having a second specific positional relationship with the acupoint 11 in the first specific positional relationship.

[0406] From another perspective, the aforementioned embodiment discloses a health care device 100 for holding an acupoint working component 300 thereon to perform a health care effect on a user. The user has a body part 1, the body part 1 has an acupoint 11, and the health care device 100 includes a health care body 110 for relatively positioning the body part 1 so that the health care body 110 and the body part 1 maintain a first specific positional relationship with each other, and a working component holding component 200 having a first end 202 mounted on the health care body 110 and a second end 204 for holding the acupoint working component 300 so that the acupoint working component 300 performs the health care work under the condition of having a second specific positional relationship with the acupoint 11 under the first specific positional relationship.

[0407] Please see Figure 2 Based on the second embodiment of the basic level of this invention, the Hegu acupoint 23 (international code LI4) located on the palm of a fist, between the thumb 21 and the index finger 22, is used as an example. This acupoint 23 is located between the first and second metacarpal bones, but slightly closer to the midpoint of the second metacarpal bone. It is mainly used to treat headaches, eye pain, sore throats, toothaches, nosebleeds, colds, strokes, and facial nerve paralysis. Similar to the first embodiment, this embodiment first focuses on acupoints in special cases. Once a method is found to overcome the difficulty of locating special acupoints with an acupoint working component (or its working component), the related problems of more common or easier-to-locate acupoints can be readily solved.

[0408] The health care device 120 includes a health care body 122, which is slightly semi-cylindrical and has a groove 130 for accommodating a user's thumb. The user's thumb joint 24 is fitted with the health care body 110 of the first embodiment. The two sides of a hollow circular end 112 of the health care body 110 rest on two abutment plates 126 provided on the two upper shoulder portions 124 of the health care body 122. The two abutment plates are pushed towards the thumb tips by two springs 128. In this way, the relative position between the thumb 22 and the health care body 122 is determined.

[0409] The health care body 122 has a recess 146 to accommodate the short thumb muscle 26 of a user, providing a comfortable grip. Another health care body 110' is fitted onto the second joint 25 of the index finger. The health care body 110 and health care body 110' can be identical (adapted to the thumb or index finger via the fabric soft layer 105 in the first embodiment) or different (the outline or size may differ slightly depending on the thumb and index finger). After the second joint 25 is fitted with the health care body 110', the index finger 22 fitted with the health care body 110' extends from the index finger receiving groove 135 located between the index finger wall 131 and the shoulder 133 onto the index finger receiving area 132, and is pushed against the right and upper sides of the hollow round end 112' of the health care body 110' by the abutment plate 136 connected to the spring 134. The abutment plate 136 here is slightly L-shaped, with the horizontal and vertical portions of the L-shape used for pushing. Figure 2 The hollow circular end 112' of the health care body 110' is located on the right and upper sides. Furthermore, the horizontal portion of the inverted L-shaped abutment 136 is rotatably pivotally fitted with a spring 134, allowing the index finger 22 to be correctly positioned so that the vertical portion of the inverted L-shaped abutment 136 can be rotated to push against the upper side of the hollow circular end 112' of the health care body 110'. In this way, the index finger 21 is restrained in position, and the relative positional relationship between the second end 204' of the fixing member 200' and the Hegu acupoint 23 is also determined. In other words, the relative positional relationship between the acupoint working member 302' on the acupoint working member 300' and the Hegu acupoint 23 is thus determined, thereby achieving the previously mentioned or desired effects. Additionally, the health care body 122 is provided with an index finger groove 138 for the index finger 21, which is placed in the groove 132, to insert. Of course, the health care body 122 may also be provided with a middle finger groove 140, a ring finger groove 142, and a little finger groove 144, so that the other three fingers can be inserted or not inserted at will. Each finger groove 138-144 may or may not be interconnected, or each may have completely or partially independent space to accommodate each finger individually or jointly.

[0410] It should be noted that the health care body 110 and health care body 110' in this embodiment may have fundamental structural differences from the health care body 110 used in the first embodiment. This is because the health care body 110 and health care body 110' in this embodiment do not rely on the thumb joint 24 for self-positioning, unlike the 110 in the first embodiment. Specifically, the health care body 110' can be designed to only cover the fingertip portion corresponding to the middle section of the phalanx. Since one end of the health care body 110' will be obstructed by the finger joint, it will not slip off, while the other end will be supported by the abutment plate 126 or 136, so there is no problem with position determination. For this reason, the axial length of the health care body 110' can be shortened.

[0411] The second embodiment of the present invention is summarized below: A health care device 120 includes a health care body 122 with two abutting portions 130 and 135 for respectively positioning two different portions 21 and 22 of a user's body part 2, so as to maintain a first specific positional relationship between the acupoint working member 300' and the body part 2; and a workpiece holder 200 with a first end 202 connected to the health care body 110' and a second end 204 for fixing an acupoint working member 300', so that the acupoint working member 300' and the body part 2' are in a second specific positional relationship corresponding to the first specific positional relationship.

[0412] As in the health care device 120 of the second embodiment, there is an acupoint 23 between two different parts 21 and 22, an acupoint working component 300' has an acupoint working component 302', and the second specific positional relationship refers to the positional relationship between the acupoint 23 and the acupoint working component 302'.

[0413] As in the second embodiment of the health care device 120, the health care body 122 is used to position two fingers of the user, such as a thumb and index finger.

[0414] As in the second embodiment of the health care device 120, the health care body 122 has two finger receiving portions, such as a thumb receiving portion 130 and an index finger receiving portion 135.

[0415] As in the second embodiment of the health care device 120, the thumb receiving portion 129 includes a groove 130 defined by two shoulder portions 124, two springs 128 respectively disposed in the two shoulder portions 124, and two abutment plates 126 respectively connected to the springs 128.

[0416] As in the second embodiment of the health care device 120, the index finger receiving area 132 includes an index finger guard 131, a shoulder 133, a groove 135 defined by the index finger guard 131 and the shoulder 133, a spring 134 disposed in the shoulder 133, and an inverted L-shaped abutment 136 pivotally connected to the spring 134.

[0417] As in the second embodiment of the health care device 120, the health care body 122 has a recess 146 to accommodate the short thumb muscle 26 of a user, so that the user can feel the health care body 122 being fully grasped.

[0418] As in the second embodiment of the health care device 120, the health care body 122 is provided with a groove 138 for the distal phalanx of the index finger, and may also be provided with a groove 140 for the middle finger, a groove 142 for the ring finger and a groove 144 for the little finger, so that the other three fingers can be inserted or not inserted at will. The grooves 138-144 may or may not be interconnected, or each may have a completely or partially independent space to accommodate each finger individually or together.

[0419] From another perspective, a health care device 120 is used to hold an acupoint working component (such as...) on it. Figure 1 (or as described in the following embodiments) to provide a health care effect to a user, wherein the user has a body part 2, the body part has two different parts 21, 22, and an acupoint 23 between the two different parts, and the health care device 120 includes: a health care body 122 having two abutting parts (124-130 and 131-135) for respectively positioning the two different parts 21, 22 of the user's body part so as to maintain a first specific positional relationship with the body part 2; and a workpiece holder (such as Figure 1 As described in the embodiments below, it has: a first end, mounted on the health care body; and a second end, holding the acupoint working component, so that the acupoint working component performs the health care work under the condition of having a second specific positional relationship with the acupoint under the first specific positional relationship.

[0420] From another perspective, a health care device 120 includes: a health care body 122 having two abutment portions (124-130 and 131-135) for respectively positioning two different parts 21, 22 of a user's body part 2, so as to maintain a first specific positional relationship with the body part 2, wherein an acupoint 23 is located between the two different parts; and a workpiece retainer (such as... Figure 1 (or as described in the embodiments below), comprising: a first end, mounted on the health care body; and a second end for holding an acupoint working element (such as...) thereon. Figure 1 (or as described in the embodiments below), so that the acupoint working piece, under the first specific positional relationship, performs a health care function with a second specific positional relationship with the acupoint.

[0421] The distribution of acupoints on the chest and abdomen is quite symmetrical. In the chest, the midline is the Ren meridian, with the Foot Shaoyin Kidney meridian located 5 cun to each side; another cun (1.5 cun from the Ren meridian) is the Foot Yangming Stomach meridian. Other acupoints will not be discussed here. In the back, the midline of the spine is the Du meridian, with the Foot Taiyang Bladder meridian running along its two pathways 1.5 cun and 3 cun to each side. Other acupoints will not be discussed here. For the sake of gender equality, only... Figure 3A The back is shown with Du Meridian 30, Foot Taiyang Meridian 31 and acupoints, such as Dazhui (international code GV14) 32, Taodao (international code GV13) 33, Shenzhu (international code GV12) 34, Ganshu (international code BL18) 35, Danshu (international code BL19) 36, Pishu (international code BL20) 37, Weicang (international code BL50) 38, Huangmen (international code BL51) 39 and Zhishi (international code BL52) 40.

[0422] Please see Figure 3BThis is a simple health care device 150 designed for use on the chest or back. The health care device 150 comprises a health care body 152, a supporting horizontal member 156, two ends 164 connected to the health care body 152, and a workpiece support medium 158 fixedly connected to the supporting horizontal member 156. The health care body 152 also has two pillars 166, the upper ends 157 of which are pivotally connected to the ends 164 of the supporting horizontal member 156, a middle connecting member 168 fixedly connected to the two pillars 166, and a pressure member 154 fixedly connected to the middle connecting member 168. During use, the angle between the two pillars 166 and the middle connecting member 168, and between the middle connecting member 168 and the pressure member 154, is essentially 90 degrees. In use, the user presses their chest or back against the pressure member 154 to position the health care body 152 in a fixed relative position. Since the pressure piece 154 is intended for the user to press down, its shape should not make the user feel uncomfortable, or its placement surface should have a corresponding depression to avoid user discomfort.

[0423] A head 160 is slidably fitted onto the workpiece support medium 158, and a workpiece connector 162 is fixed to the head 160 thereon for fitting the acupoint working piece as described in the first embodiment. Thus, the therapist or patient can move / adjust the position of the head 160 on the workpiece support medium 158 to fix or determine the relative positional relationship between the acupoint working piece and a specific acupoint.

[0424] If one feels that there are so many acupoints on the chest or back, the health care device 150 seems too rudimentary, we might agree. Figure 3CThe health care device 170 is somewhat advanced. The health care device 170 has a health care body 172 and a supporting horizontal member 400, with its two ends 410 respectively pivotally mounted on the health care body 172 and a workpiece support medium 404 slidably fitted onto the supporting horizontal member 400. The health care body 172 has a first pair of support columns 174, with the upper end 175 of the support column 174 pivotally connected to the end of the supporting horizontal member 400, fixedly connected to the intermediate connecting member 176 of the two support columns 174, and a mating pressure member 178 fixedly connected to the intermediate connecting member 176; a second pair of support columns 184, an intermediate connecting member 185 fixedly connected to the two support columns 184, and a mating pressure member 186 fixedly connected to the intermediate connecting member 185, wherein the two support columns 174 (184) are connected to the intermediate connecting member 185. In use, the intermediate connecting member 176 (185) and the mating pressing member 178 (186) are at approximately 90 degrees apart. The mating pressing member 178 (186) has a thickness reduction zone 180 (188). The mating pressing member 186 is pivotally connected to the intermediate connecting member 185 via a pivot 187. The thickness reduction zones 180 and 188 are respectively provided with mating recesses 182 and protrusions 190. In use, the mating pressing member 186 is first placed parallel to or connected to the two support pillars 184. After the user presses the mating pressing members 178 and 186 together with their chest or back, the two support pillars 184 are then pivoted to form a right angle with the mating pressing member 186, so that the health care body 172 is in a relatively fixed position. As mentioned above, since the fittings 178 and 186 are for the user to press down on, their shape should not make the user feel uncomfortable, or their placement surface should have corresponding depressions to avoid user discomfort.

[0425] As in the previous example, a head 406 is slidably fitted onto the workpiece support medium 404, and a workpiece connector 408 is fixed to the head 406 thereon for fitting the acupoint working piece as described in the first embodiment. Thus, the therapist or patient can move / adjust the position of the head 406 on the workpiece support medium 404 to fix or determine the relative positional relationship between the acupoint working piece and a specific acupoint. The workpiece support medium 404 has a connecting end 402 slidably sleeved on the support cross member 400, and a free end 412 clamped by a pair of clamps 189 and 192 provided on the second pair of support columns 184. The clamp 189 is fixed above the pair of support columns 184, the clamp 192 is pivotally mounted on the upper end of one support column 184 by a pin 191, the other support column 184 is provided with a flange 194, the free end of the clamp 192 is provided with a groove 197, the flange 194 and the free end of the clamp 192 are respectively provided with through holes 196 and 198, and a pin 199 is used to pass through the through holes 196 and 198, so that the pair of clamps 189 and 192 hold the free end 412.

[0426] Although today's technology makes precise alignment no longer a problem, to ensure ease of sliding (therefore, a considerable margin must be left) and accuracy of positioning, it is feasible to roughen the corresponding surfaces 195 and 193 of clamping parts 189 and 192, the corresponding surfaces 401 and 403 of supporting cross member 400 and connecting end 402, and the corresponding surfaces 405 and 407 of workpiece support medium 404 and adjusting sleeve 406, or to cover them with a layer of rubber material of varying thickness. Furthermore, since acupoints on the chest and abdomen are symmetrically distributed relative to the Ren or Du meridians, both symmetrical acupoints often require treatment; therefore, adjusting sleeves 406 are better installed in pairs. Of course, if multiple acupoints need to be treated simultaneously, the number of workpiece support mediums 404 can also be increased.

[0427] The first two embodiments are summarized as follows: a health care device 150 (170) includes a health care body 152 (172) with two support members 166 (174), each of which has an upper end 157 (175) to maintain a first specific positional relationship with a user's body; a support cross member 156 (400) with two ends 164 (410) for pivotally connecting to the upper ends 157 (175) of the two support members respectively; and a workpiece support medium 404 with a first end 402 connected to the health care body 152 (72) and an adjustment head 406 sleeved thereon for fixing an acupoint workpiece so that the acupoint workpiece and the body are in a second specific positional relationship corresponding to the first specific positional relationship.

[0428] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device 150 (170), the body part is the chest or back of the human body, the acupoint working element has an acupoint working element, and the second specific positional relationship refers to the positional relationship between one acupoint on the chest or back and the acupoint working element.

[0429] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device 150 (170), the health care body 152 (172) has a pressure member 154 (178, 186) for pressing against the chest or abdomen of one of the relatively positioned users to position the health care body 152 (172).

[0431] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device 150 (170), the health care body 172 has two pairs of pillars 174, 184, the bottom of each pair of pillars 174, 184 is connected by an intermediate connector 176, 185, and a mating component 186 is pivotally connected to the intermediate connector 185 by a pivot 187.

[0432] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device 170, the workpiece support medium 404 is slidably sleeved on the support cross member 400; and / or the workpiece support medium 404 is slidably sleeved on the adjusting sleeve 406.

[0433] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device 170, the second pair of support pillars 184 of the health care body 172 are equipped with a pair of clamps 189, 192 to hold the free end 412 of the workpiece support medium 404.

[0434] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device 170, the corresponding surfaces 195 and 193 of the clamps 189 and 192, the corresponding surfaces 401 and 403 of the support cross member 400 and the connecting end 402, and the corresponding surfaces 405 and 407 of the workpiece support medium 404 and the adjusting sleeve 406 are roughened or covered with a layer of rubber material.

[0435] The health care device 150 (170) of the aforementioned embodiment further includes at least one second adjustment head 406 and / or at least one second workpiece support medium 404.

[0436] From another perspective, a health care device 150 (170) is used to hold an acupoint working component (such as...) on it. Figure 1 As described in the embodiments below), to perform a health care function on a user, wherein the user has a body part, the body part has an acupoint, and the health care device includes: a health care body (152, 166, 154, 168; 172, 174, 178, 184, 190) having a pair of support members (152, 166; 172, 174; 184) to maintain a first specific positional relationship with the body part; a support cross member 400 having two ends 410 for connecting to the pair of support members respectively; and a workpiece support medium 412 connected to the support cross member, and having a head 408 fitted thereon for holding the acupoint workpiece, so that the acupoint workpiece performs the health care function under the first specific positional relationship and under the condition of having a second specific positional relationship with the acupoint.

[0437] From another perspective, a health care device 150 (170) includes: a health care body (152, 166, 154, 168; 172, 174, 178, 184, 190) having a pair of support members (152, 166; 172, 174; 184) for relatively positioning a body part of a user so as to maintain a first specific positional relationship with the body part, wherein the body part has an acupoint; a support cross member 400 having two ends 410 for connecting to the pair of support members respectively; and a workpiece support medium 412 connected to the support cross member, and having a head 408 fitted thereon for holding the acupoint workpiece so that the acupoint workpiece performs the health care work under the first specific positional relationship and with the acupoint under the condition of having a second specific positional relationship.

[0438] Whether in the upper or lower arm, the pathways of meridians are not as easily and regularly followed as acupoints on the chest and abdomen, and they run along the yin and yang sides of the arm respectively. Compared to the expertise of acupuncturists, it is not immediately apparent to the general public or beginners. We will only address the location of meridians for now. Please refer to... Figure 4A The upper arm health care device 500 of the present invention uses a health care body 502, which has a supporting base plate 501, 503, and is provided with paired end recesses 511, 512 for mounting paired positioning blocks 524, 504 respectively. Since the positioning block pairs 524 and 504 are arranged in a similar manner, the arrangement of the positioning block pairs 524 and 504 will be described in detail below, taking the positioning block 504 as an example.

[0439] The positioning block 504 has a pair of lower lugs 516, which slide in the pair of side grooves 518 of the recess 512. The two ends 513 and 515 of the plurality of springs 514 are respectively mounted on the concave end wall 517 of the recess 512 and the lower concave wall 519 of the positioning block 504. The concave end wall 517 and concave wall 519 are designed to compensate for or offset the length of the springs 514 as much as possible. With this design, the plurality of springs 514 always keep the pair of positioning blocks 504 as close as possible to each other within the pair of recesses 512. The remaining width of the upper part of the free end of the bearing base plate 503 between the pair of recesses 512, after being hollowed out, is approximately the thickness of the forearm and wrist. Since people vary in size, this design ensures that the pair of positioning blocks 504 always automatically adjust and hold the forearm and wrist. Furthermore, the shape of the lugs in the figure is plate-like, but a cylindrical shape is more common. Since the invention is essentially the same, it will not be described again in this specification.

[0440] When treating acupoints on the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand-Yangming (e.g., Wenliu acupoint, international code LI7, for headache, sore throat, abdominal rumbling, abdominal pain, and shoulder and back pain), the wrist should be held in the thickness direction by paired positioning blocks 504 to facilitate the treatment of the acupoint. At this time, the protrusion of the abductor hallucis brevis muscle corresponding to the user's palm extends into the recessed space 510 of the positioning block 504. However, when treating acupoints on the Pericardium Meridian of Hand-Jueyin (e.g., Neiguan acupoint, international code PC6, for stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, chest and rib pain, arrhythmia, stroke, elbow contracture, facial flushing, blurred vision, and shock), the wrist should be held in the width direction with the yin side facing upward by the positioning blocks 504. At this point, the radial protrusion of the forearm abuts against the recess 506 of the left positioning block 504, while the ulnar protrusion of the forearm abuts against the recess 505' of the right positioning block 504, thus performing a joint positioning function. If we carefully observe the wrist structure, relative to the palm, the radial protrusion of the forearm is positioned slightly lower and forward, while the ulnar protrusion is positioned slightly higher and backward. Therefore, we can utilize this structural feature to design the positions of the recesses 505 and 506 of the positioning blocks 504, thereby strengthening the positioning relationship or function. Specifically, regardless of whether the forearm (or forearm) is facing upward or downward, the positioning block 504 assembly can be smoothly held in place. Furthermore, the user's palm is placed within the groove 508 of the positioning block 504.

[0441] Conversely, when treating acupoints on the Hand Shaoyang Pericardium Meridian (e.g., Waiguan acupoint, international code TE5, mainly used to treat elbow and arm flexion and extension difficulties, finger pain and inability to grip, hand tremors, deafness, tinnitus, headache, cheek pain, and fever), the wrist should be held in the width direction with the yang side facing upwards, and fixed by the positioning block 504. At this time, the wrist protrusion of the ulna of the forearm abuts against the recess 505 of the left positioning block 504, and the wrist protrusion of the radius of the forearm abuts against the recess 506' of the right positioning block 504, to perform a joint positioning function. There is a recess 520 at the end of the supporting base plate 503. This recess 520 has two functions. On the one hand, when the forearm is placed on the base plate 503 sideways (i.e., hanging down with its thickness), the user's little finger abductor muscle can hang down naturally; on the other hand, when the forearm is placed on the base plate 503 with the yin side facing down, the user's wrist and palm can hang freely.

[0442] Please refer to Figure 4AOn the left side, there is a positioning block 524 and a support base plate 501 that support the elbow joint. The positioning block 524 has a recess 526 to accommodate the most prominent sesamoid bone on the ulnar side of the elbow end of the humerus, and the support base plate 501 also has a corresponding recess 534 to accommodate the most prominent part (elbow tip) of the elbow end of the ulna. The structure of the human body is extremely mysterious. When the forearm is placed on the support base plates 501 and 503, whether standing sideways or with the sunlit side against them, the recesses 526 and 534 can respectively accommodate the sesamoid bone and the most prominent part. However, when standing sideways, the left and lower sides of the muscle group protrusions of the forearm (composed of palmaris longus, flexor carpi radialis, and flexor carpi ulnaris) are respectively located in the recess 528 of the positioning block 524 and the recess 536 of the support base plate 501. As with the aforementioned wrist joint positioning block 504, the positioning block 524 is a pair of recesses 511 on the support substrate 501, and a pair of lugs 530 are provided and slidably disposed in the grooves 532 of the recesses 511.

[0443] Please refer to Figure 4A In the middle section, a length adjustment medium 546 is provided between the two supporting substrates 501 and 503. The Creator, in a mysterious way, gave people varying heights and arm lengths. For example, legend has it that Liu Bang's arms were longer than his knees, hence the length adjustment medium 546 was provided to adjust this. The adjacent ends of the supporting substrates 501 and 503 have central grooves 550 for symmetrically accommodating a connecting plate 547. Each adjacent end of the supporting substrates 501 and 503 has an inner recess 538, allowing for a plurality of pairs of tension springs 540 symmetrically positioned above and below the connecting plate 547 to keep them permanently close together. The opposing sides of the adjacent ends of the supporting substrates 501 and 503 each have a plurality of paired pin holes 542, corresponding to the plurality of pin holes 548 on both sides of the connecting plate 547. After the spacing between adjacent ends of the carrier substrates 501 and 503 corresponding to the user's arm length is properly adjusted, the four pins 544 can be inserted into the corresponding pin holes 548 and the corresponding two pairs of pin holes 542 to complete the arm length setting.

[0444] Please refer to Figure 4B Its right side is Figure 4A The forearm support plate is slightly modified to form a complete upper limb support plate when combined with the upper arm. Specifically, the elbow end of the forearm support plate 502 (or 501) has a bottom cut-out portion 552 and a bottom shaft hole 554. On the left is the upper arm support plate 560, which has two support plate bodies 562 and 564. The elbow end of the support plate body 564 has an upper end cut-out portion 568 and a central pivot 572 that is pivotally connected to the bottom shaft hole 554. Because the forearm can only bend inwards and not outwards relative to the upper arm support plate 560, its pivoting is directional. Figure 4BAs can be seen, the elbow end of the forearm support plate 502 is actually present. Therefore, when it pivots counterclockwise, its distal end will inevitably interfere with the elbow end of the upper arm support plate 560. Thus, if the elbow end of the upper arm support plate 564 is not treated accordingly, they will not be able to rotate relative to each other. Therefore, the elbow end of the upper arm support plate 564 has a cut-off portion 570 to accommodate the distal end 535 of the elbow end of the forearm support plate 502.

[0445] Please refer to Figure 4B On the left side, since the inner side of the upper arm is connected to the torso, the inner and outer sides of the upper arm have different lengths relative to the upper arm support plate body 562. Therefore, there is a cut-off portion 580 on the distal side of the axillary end 566 of the support plate body 562, and a semi-cylindrical portion 576 is connected to support the user's armpit. In addition, there is a guide plate 578 on the proximal side of the axillary end 566 of the support plate body 562 to accommodate the shoulder end of the user's abducted upper arm. Of course, to accommodate the length of the forearm, a length adjustment device 574 can be added between the two support plates 562, 564, details of which are not elaborated here.

[0446] Please refer to Figure 4C This is one embodiment of the length adjustment device 586 of the health care body of the health care device. A length adjustment plate 596 is provided between two supporting substrates 582 and 584. The length adjustment plate 596 has a sliding recess 595, a longitudinal central groove 591, a pair of grooves 597 provided on both sides of the distal end, a pair of proximal grooves 610, and grooves 599 provided on both sides of the length adjustment plate 596. The two supporting substrates 582 and 584 are provided with a pair of arc protrusions 606 on the far side, a pair of grooves 608 on both sides of the pair of arc protrusions 606, a pair of middle grooves 601, and a pair of (corresponding to / symmetrical to the arc protrusions 606) springs 604 between the pair of grooves 608 and the pair of grooves 597. The two ends of the pair of springs 604 are respectively connected between the corresponding grooves 608 and grooves 597. The longitudinal central groove 591 is for the trapezoidal plate 600 to advance, and when the two supporting substrates 582 and 584 are close to the length adjustment plate 596, the arc protrusions 606 protrude into it. The distal multiple paired springs 604 and the proximal multiple springs 612 always tend to bring the supporting substrates 582, 584 and the length adjustment substrate 596 together in a planar manner. This is because the three substrates 582, 584 and 596 are slidably fitted together by means of the distal rod 602 and the sliding recess 616, the middle groove 601 and the trapezoidal actuating member 600, and the proximal corresponding paired guide members 614 and paired guide grooves 618.

[0447] Although people vary in size and gender, in reality, the length difference between the forearm and upper arm is usually no more than five centimeters. Even comparing a four-year-old child to a person two meters tall, a difference of more than 15 centimeters is extremely rare. The length adjustment base plate 596 has a screw hole 587 and a plurality of positioning pin holes 598. When the total length of the three base plates 582, 584, and 596 is at its shortest, there is no gap between them. Because of the trapezoidal actuator and screw assembly 620, when it is necessary to increase its apparent length, we can push the trapezoidal actuator 600 to move further away by rotating the handle 590 of the screw 588. Since the inclined surfaces 603 on both sides of the trapezoidal actuator 600 will push against the arc protrusion 606, the supporting base plates 582 and 584 will be pushed outward symmetrically, thereby adjusting the total apparent length of the three base plates 582, 584, and 596. When the screw 588 is rotated to an appropriate degree to obtain the appropriate total virtual length of the three substrates 582, 584 and 596, the locating pin 594 connected to the screw 588 by the chain 592 is inserted into the locating pin hole 598 before the nearest rotation end point to prevent the springs 604 and 612 from potentially retracting the screw 588.

[0448] Please refer to Figure 4D This is a first embodiment of the trapezoidal actuator and screw assembly 620. The trapezoidal actuator 600 has a bottom hole 624 to accommodate the end of the screw 622. Please refer to... Figure 4E This is a second embodiment of the trapezoidal actuator and screw assembly 628. In certain situations, such as when it is desirable to control the thickness of the substrates 582, 584, and 596, or when the thickness of the trapezoidal actuator 630 is limited, a clamp 634 can be provided to hold the bottom end of the trapezoidal actuator 630, and the clamp 634 has a recess 636 to cooperate with the end 640 of the screw 638. In addition, depending on the situation, a shallow guide groove 632 can also be provided on the side slope 631 to properly guide the arc protrusion 606 ( Figure 4C The relative movement between the trapezoidal actuator 628 and the trapezoidal actuator 628.

Figure 1 (as described in the embodiments below), so that the acupoint working piece performs the health care work under the condition of having a second specific positional relationship with the acupoint under the first specific positional relationship.

[0461] A health care device includes a health care body (500) for supporting a body part, the health care body having two support base plates (582, 584); and a length adjustment device (586) installed between the two support base plates (582, 584) for adjusting the external length of the health care body to adapt to the length of a user's body part.

[0462] As in the previous embodiment of the health care device, the length adjustment device (586) has a length adjustment plate (596) placed between the two supporting substrates (582, 584) and has a sliding recess 595; the two supporting substrates (582, 584) have a pair of arc protrusions (606), a pair of middle grooves (601) and a pair of sliding recesses (616) at their adjacent ends; a side rod (602) passes through the sliding recesses (595) and the pair of sliding recesses (616) and can slidably combine the supporting substrates (582, 584) and the length adjustment plate 596 together in a planar manner; and a trapezoidal actuating member (600) is disposed in the pair of middle grooves (601) so that the external length of the health care body can be adjusted by the interaction between its pair of side slopes (603) and the pair of arc protrusions (606).

[0466] As in the aforementioned embodiment of the health care device, a shallow guide groove 632 is provided on the side slope (631) of the trapezoidal action member (630) to guide the arcuate protrusion (606) within it.

[0467] From another perspective, a health care device (500; 560) is used to hold an acupoint device (such as...) on it. Figure 1 (As described in the embodiments below), to perform a health care effect on a user, wherein the user has a body part, the body part has an acupoint, and the health care device includes: a health care body having two support base plates (501, 503; 562, 564) for supporting and positioning the body part so as to maintain a first specific positional relationship between the body part and the body part; a length adjustment device (546; 574; 568) installed between the two support base plates for adjusting the external length of the health care body to adapt to a length of the body part; and a workpiece holder (such as...

[0468] From another perspective, a health care device (500; 560) includes: a health care body having two support plates (501, 503; 562, 564) for supporting and positioning a body part of a user, so as to maintain a first specific positional relationship between the body part and the support plate, wherein the body part has an acupoint; a length adjustment device (546; 574; 568) installed between the two support plates for adjusting the external length of the health care body to adapt to the length of the body part; and a workpiece holder (such as...). Figure 1 (As described in the embodiments below), comprising: a first end connected to one of the two carrier substrates; and a second end for holding a cavity working element (such as...) thereon. Figure 1 (as described in the embodiments below) to provide a health care effect to a user, so that the acupoint working device performs the health care work under the condition of having a second specific positional relationship with the acupoint under the first specific positional relationship.

[0469] The soles of the feet also contain many acupoints, such as the Neiting acupoint (international code ST44) on the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming. Located five fen behind the web between the second and third toes, it is used to treat headaches, toothaches, facial swelling, dysentery, and gastrointestinal disorders. Suitable health care devices for this area may include... Figure 1 As shown, I will not repeat myself here. Furthermore, foot care devices can certainly be modeled upon or modified from these examples. Figure 3B It was obtained from health care devices.

[0470] This section will begin by discussing health care devices suitable for the lower limbs. The lower limbs, including the thighs and calves, are generally thicker than the upper limbs, but their rotational flexibility is significantly less. For example, the rotation angles of the knee and ankle joints are noticeably less than those of the elbow and wrist joints. Furthermore, the regularity of acupoint distribution on the lower limbs is less pronounced than on the upper limbs. Therefore, the design principles of health care devices suitable for the upper limbs cannot be directly or entirely applied to the lower limbs. According to acupuncture theory, once specific reference points are identified for the thigh and calf segments, a specific length ratio can be observed. Specifically, the distance from the greater trochanter at the gluteal end of the thigh bone to the lateral calf point (located between the thigh and tibia, below and lateral to the kneecap) is 19 inches, while the distance from the lateral calf point to the tip of the lateral malleolus is 16 inches, meaning the length ratio of the two segments is 19:16. This distance varies from person to person due to differences in height, but this ratio is consistent across all ages. The former echoes the claim that traditional Chinese medicine or acupuncture is unscientific, while the latter inspires awe at the mysteries of the human body or the wisdom of our ancestors.

[0471] Please refer to Figure 5The lower limb health care device 660 includes a lower leg support base plate 662, a thigh support base plate 664, and a length adjustment device 690. The length adjustment device 690 plays the following roles: (1) forming part of the support base plate or platform of the health care device 660; (2) providing a support platform for the tibia knee end relative to the heel end 666 of the lower leg support base plate 662, thus forming a combined lower leg support platform with the lower leg support base plate 662; (3) providing a support platform for the thigh knee end relative to the buttock end 730 of the thigh support base plate 664, thus forming a combined upper and lower leg support platform with the lower leg support base plate 664; (4) being able to adjust the external length of the health care device to adapt to the specific leg length of each user; (5) being able to simultaneously adjust the length of the support platform corresponding to the thigh and lower leg of a specific user; (6) being able to simultaneously adjust the combined lower leg and thigh support platform according to a 16:19 ratio; and (7) forming a positioning device for knee reference features.

[0472] The lower leg support base plate 662 near the heel end 666 has a pair of side grooves 668 for slidably mounting a pair of positioning blocks 680 within them. Figure 4A The positioning block assemblies 504 and 524 are similar, and will only be briefly described here. As mentioned earlier, the distance from the lateral malleolus to the tip of the lateral ankle is 16 inches. Although the distance from the tip of the lateral ankle to the heel is not within the characteristic length range of the lower leg, the foot and lower leg are connected, so we designed it as follows. Considering that when a user is lying prone, it is designed to accommodate the lateral protrusion of the tibia on the back of the lower leg, and when the user is lying supine, it can accommodate the calf, Achilles tendon and calcaneus. The lower leg support base plate 662 has a central recess 740, and the heel end 666 has a deeper recess 670. The lower leg support base plate 662 near the heel end 666 is provided with a pair of grooves 668, and each groove 668 is provided with a pair of grooves 678 for slidably accommodating a pair of lugs 682 provided on each positioning block 680. The positioning block assembly 680 and the heel end 666 can be provided with a heel height adjustment medium 748 to accommodate the heel height of different users. The pair of opposing surfaces 681 of the positioning blocks 680 are provided with ankle joint mating recesses. Figure 5Taking the distal positioning block 680 as an example, its opposing surface 681 has a greater lateral malleolar recess 684, a middle lateral malleolar recess 686, and a lesser lateral malleolar recess 688. The purpose of these three recesses is to accommodate the height of a person, with the tip of the lateral malleolus located within each recess. In detail, although people vary in size (children), height, and weight, in reality, the difference in the length of the lower leg or foot is usually less than 50%. Further analysis shows that the vertical (when standing) or horizontal (when lying down) distance or height from the tip of the lateral malleolus to the heel is about 4 cm for a child and about 7 cm for a person who is about 170 cm tall. Therefore, if we also provide three recesses 672, 674, and 676 corresponding to the heel area in the recess 670, then the recesses 672 and 688, 674 and 686, and 676 and 684 can be well adapted to the individual height of each user. In this way, the heel height adjustment medium 748 can be obtained.

[0473] Of course, in terms of design, the three recesses 672, 674, and 676 on the heel can be modified into a continuous sloping surface to create an infinitely segmented effect. In this case, the positioning block 680 would only have one lateral malleolar recess. Conversely, if the width of the opposing surface 681 is increased, the heel end 666 can be narrowed, eliminating the need for the three recesses 672, 674, and 676. Furthermore, the proximal positioning block 680 has a recess corresponding to the medial malleolus (not shown). To facilitate the assembly of this health care unit, the opposing surfaces 681 on both sides of each positioning block 680 can respectively have three recesses 684, 686, and 688 corresponding to the medial malleolus (not shown) and the lateral malleolus. Therefore, when assembling the health care unit 660, it is not necessary to pay attention to which positioning block 680 belongs to the distal or proximal side. It is also worth noting that, in use, because the acupoints are located on the back or calf of the leg, the user may lie supine or prone. by Figure 5 For example, when lying supine, the tip of the right lateral malleolus is distal; when lying prone, the tip of the left lateral malleolus is also distal. Therefore, the distal positioning block has three additional ankle-tip recesses 685, 687, and 689 for positioning when prone. It is also worth noting that when lying supine, the Achilles tendon elevates the height of the lateral malleolus, but when lying prone, the distance between the dorsum of the foot and the lateral malleolus shortens. Therefore, the height of the three lateral malleolus recesses 685, 687, and 689 on the positioning block 680 is less than the height of the three lateral malleolus recesses 684, 686, and 688. Needless to say, the spring that pulls the paired positioning blocks 680 closer together... Figure 4A The same applies, so I won't elaborate further.

[0474] The buttock end 730 of this health care body 660 has a recess 736 for accommodating the muscles at the junction of the buttock and thigh. Its distal end has a receiving hole 732 for accommodating a positioning block 726. The positioning block has a positioning hole 728 for accommodating the greater trochanteric protrusion of the buttock end of the femur. A plurality of springs 734 are disposed between the distal wall of the receiving hole 732 and the distal wall of the positioning block 726 to push the positioning block 726 against the greater trochanteric protrusion of the buttock end of the femur for positioning. A stop portion 738 is connected proximally to the buttock end 730 of the thigh support base plate 664 to abut against the bottom edge of the groin, thus completing the positioning of the lower limb buttock end 730.

[0475] Please refer to Figure 5 The middle section displays the length adjustment device 690 of the health care body 660. Essentially, the length adjustment device 690 simultaneously functions as a support for both the lower leg and the thigh, forming a complete platform for supporting the lower leg and thigh together with the lower leg support base plate 662 and the thigh support base plate 664, respectively. The lower leg and thigh support base plates 662 and 664 are longitudinally and adjustable in distance from each other via at least one pair of rods 710 and at least two pairs of rod holes 712 fitted onto the rods 710 and respectively located at adjacent ends and sides of the support base plates 662 and 664, thus forming a complete lower limb health care body 660.

[0476] The length adjustment device 690 mainly includes a support base plate 702, an operating lever 694, and a length adjustment trapezoidal actuating member 742 (please refer to...). Figure 5A ). Length adjustment device 690 and Figure 4C The length adjustment device 586 is somewhat similar; for brevity, only the main differences will be described here. The support base plate 702 has a central recess 720, a screw hole 704, and a distal central groove (not shown, used to accommodate the length adjustment trapezoidal actuating member 742). The length adjustment trapezoidal actuating member 742 has two side bevels 744 and 746, which respectively abut against the arcuate protrusions (not shown, for clarity, please refer to the diagram) located at adjacent ends of the support base plates 662 and 664 of the lower leg and upper leg. Figure 4C The distal half of the operating lever 694 is provided with a thread 692 for screwing into the threaded hole 704. This allows for pushing the length-adjusting trapezoidal actuator 742, located in the central groove on the distal side of the support base plate 702, as needed, to increase the length of the lower leg and thigh support platform according to actual requirements. The central recess 720 is provided to accommodate the user's kneecap protrusion when the user is lying prone.

[0477] A pair of positioning blocks 714 are disposed in the space 706 between the thigh and lower leg support plates 664 and 662 to position the corresponding features of the tibia and femur in the knee joint area. Specifically, in the knee joint area, the most prominent part on the outer side is the tibia genu tuberosity, while the most prominent part on the inner side is the femur or femur genu tuberosity. Therefore, the distal positioning block 714 has a recess 718 to accommodate the tibia genu tuberosity. Since only the legs are switched when lying supine or prone, the position of the tibia genu tuberosity does not change, so a single recess 718 is sufficient. Specifically, although the height of the tuberosity differs between supine and prone positions, this can be compensated for by selecting the depth of the central recess 720 or the central height of the support plate 702. Similarly, Figure 5 The proximal positioning block 714, corresponding to the accommodating recess 719 of the genu patella of the femur, only needs to be set individually. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the shape of the lug 716 of the positioning block 714 is similar to... Figure 4A There is a significant difference because the thigh and calf support plates 664, 662 will separate during the operation of the length adjustment device 690. Therefore, the extended lug 716 is required so that the positioning block assembly 714 can still be slidably positioned between the thigh and calf support plates 664, 662 during the separation process, due to the paired sliding grooves 748 respectively slid on the thigh and calf support plates 664, 662. Furthermore, each of the positioning block assemblies 714 is provided with a spring between itself and the support plate (not shown in the figure, for clarity, please refer to...). Figure 4A This ensures that the positioning blocks 714 always tend to be close to each other, in order to achieve the task of positioning the user's knee joint.

[0478] One or more pairs of springs 708 are used to always tend to bring the thigh and calf support plates 664, 662 closer together. Due to the characteristics of this embodiment, the spring pairs 708 can be installed after the positioning block assembly is installed. The proximal positioning block 714 has a through hole 722 for the operating lever 694 to pass freely through, and has a plurality of pin holes 724 on its proximal surface so that when the operating lever 694 is in the correct operating position, it is pinned in the pin holes 724 by a pin 700 connected to the handle 696 by a cord 698. Please refer to... Figure 5A The arrangement of the two inclined surfaces 744 and 746 is such that the distances between each inclined surface and the center of the operating rod 694 are X and Y, respectively, and the distances between X and Y have a ratio of 16:19. This allows the length adjustment device 690 to be pushed away from the lower leg and thigh support base plates 662 and 664 according to this ratio, so as to perfectly and without deformation adjust the thigh and lower leg length for each user in acupuncture.

[0479] The following is a summary of the lower limb health care device of the present invention: a health care body (660) including a lower leg support base plate (662); a thigh support base plate (664); and a length adjustment device (690), wherein the length adjustment device (690) has a first part that forms a combined lower leg support platform with the lower leg support base plate (662), and a second part that forms a combined upper and lower leg support platform with the thigh support base plate (664).

[0483] According to a second embodiment of the lower limb health care device of the present invention, a health care body (660) includes a lower leg support base plate (662) for supporting a user's lower leg and lateral ankle tip; a thigh support base plate (664) for supporting the user's thigh and greater trochanter of the femur; and a length adjustment device (690), wherein the length adjustment device (690) has a first part and a second part for supporting the lateral tibia genu protuberance of the lower leg and the medial genu protuberance of the femur of the thigh, respectively; the lower leg support base plate (662) and the thigh support base plate (664) together with the first and second parts of the length adjustment device (690) constitute a combined lower leg and a thigh support platform; and the length adjustment device (690) adjusts the combined lower leg and thigh support platform simultaneously in a ratio of 16:19.

[0484] As in the aforementioned health care body (660), the lower leg support base plate (662) has a central recess (740) so that when a user lies prone, it can accommodate the protruding part of the user's lower leg corresponding to the tibia, and when the user lies supine, it can accommodate the calf.

[0485] As in the aforementioned examples of health care bodies (660), the lower leg support plate (662) has a heel end (666) with a deeper recess (670) to accommodate the user's Achilles tendon and calcaneus when the user is lying face down.

[0486] As in the aforementioned examples of health care body (660), the lower leg support base plate (662) has a heel end (666), and a pair of positioning blocks (680) are slidably disposed near the heel end 666 for respectively accommodating the tip of a user's lateral ankle and the tip of a user's medial ankle.

[0487] As in the health care body (660) at the front, there is a heel height adjustment medium (748) between the pair of positioning blocks (680) and the heel end (666) to adapt to the specific heel height of each user.

[0488] As in the health care body (660) at the front, the pair of positioning blocks (680) have opposing surfaces (681) and recesses (684, 685, 686, 687, 688, 689) respectively. They are designed so that regardless of whether the user is lying on their back or stomach, and regardless of whether the positioning block group (680) is interchanged, these recesses can correctly accommodate the user's lateral and medial ankle tips respectively.

[0489] As in the aforementioned health care body (660), the thigh support base plate (664) has a buttock end (730), and the buttock end (730) is provided with a recess 736 to accommodate the muscles at the connection between the buttock and the thigh; a positioning block (726) is provided to accommodate the greater trochanter protrusion of the buttock end of the user's thigh bone; and an abutting part (738) is provided on one side of the buttock end (730) to abut against the bottom edge of the user's groin.

[0490] As in the aforementioned health care body (660), the length adjustment device (690) includes a support base plate (702), an operating lever (694), and a length adjustment trapezoidal actuating member (742); the length adjustment trapezoidal actuating member (742) has two inclined surfaces (744, 746) for pushing the lower leg and thigh support base plate (662, 664) respectively; the distances between the two inclined surfaces (744, 746) and the center of the operating lever (694) are X and Y respectively; and the distance between X and Y has a ratio of 16:19.

[0491] As in the health care body (660) mentioned earlier, the length adjustment device (690) includes a pair of positioning blocks (714) disposed between the thigh and lower leg support plates (664, 662) for simultaneously positioning the tibia genu and femur or femur of a user.

[0492] From another perspective, a health care body (660) is used to hold an acupoint working component (such as...) on it. Figure 1 (and as described in the embodiments below), to provide a health care effect to a user, wherein the user has a lower limb, the lower limb has a calf, a thigh and an acupoint, and the health care body includes: a calf support base plate (662) and a thigh support base plate (664) for supporting and positioning the calf and thigh respectively, so as to maintain a first specific positional relationship between them; a length adjustment device (690) disposed between the calf support base plate and the thigh support base plate, wherein the calf support base plate, the thigh support base plate and the length adjustment device together have a real overall length and a virtual length, and the length adjustment device is used to adjust the virtual length of the health care body; and a workpiece holder (such as Figure 1 As described in the embodiments below, it has: a first end connected to the support base plate of the lower leg or thigh; and a second end for holding the acupoint working member thereon, so that the acupoint working member performs the health care work under the condition of having a second specific positional relationship with the acupoint under the first specific positional relationship.

[0493] From another perspective, a health care device (660) includes: a health care body having a lower leg support base (662) and a thigh support base (664) for supporting and positioning a user's lower limb, so as to maintain a first specific positional relationship between the lower limb and the user, wherein the lower limb has a lower leg, a thigh, and an acupoint; a length adjustment device (690) disposed between the lower leg support base and the thigh support base, wherein the lower leg support base, the thigh support base, and the length adjustment device together have a real overall length and a virtual length, and the length adjustment device is used to adjust the virtual length of the health care body; and a workpiece holder (such as... Figure 1 (as described in the embodiments below), comprising: a first end connected to the lower leg or thigh support base plate; and a second end for holding an acupoint working element (such as...) thereon. Figure 1 (as described in the embodiments below) to provide a health care effect to a user, so that the acupoint working device performs the health care work under the condition of having a second specific positional relationship with the acupoint under the first specific positional relationship.

[0494] Based on the above discussion, only the head remains to be processed. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 6The head care body 760 includes a base plate 762, two pairs of left and right grooves 764, a pair of hydraulic cylinders 772, a pair of head positioning plates 766, two pairs of pressure sensors 784 respectively mounted on the positioning plates 766, a circuit configuration 790 for coordinating the operation of the pressure sensors 784 and the hydraulic cylinders 766, and two pairs of forward and backward buttons 786 and 788 respectively located on the left and right sides of the base plate 762. Specifically, each positioning plate 766 has a pair of lower convex sliding members 782 with two side ears, slidably disposed in a corresponding pair of grooves 764. The hydraulic cylinder 772 has a first end 774 fixed to the base plate 762 and a second end 776, the second end 776 being fixed to a corresponding positioning block 766 by a pair of connecting rods 768 and 770, such that the distance between the pair of positioning blocks 766 is determined by the pair of hydraulic cylinders 772.

[0495] In terms of usage, since there are many acupoints on the face and back of the head, the health care unit 760 is suitable not only for users lying supine to work on the face, but also for users lying prone to work on the back of the head. This also explains why the base plate 762 has an inverted triangular hole 780 in the center, so that the user's eyes and nose are not compressed when lying prone. When the forward button 786 is operated, the hydraulic cylinder 772 pushes the positioning plates 766 closer together. First, one of the user's ears will pass through the ear holes 778 on the positioning plate 766 and appropriately touch a relevant pressure sensor 784 at the most protruding temple on the side of the user's head. The circuit configuration 790 then cuts off the power to the hydraulic cylinder 772, completing the head positioning. Whether the fixing members of the acupoint working parts are located on the base plate 762 or the positioning plate 766, their relationship with the acupoints is easily defined, so details are omitted here.

[0496] It is worth noting that the moving device of the aforementioned head health care device (i.e., the hydraulic cylinder 772 in the embodiment) can also be modified and used in the length adjustment device of the earlier embodiment, and can be digitized to more accurately control the total displacement, which will not be elaborated here.

[0497] Hereinafter, the head health care body is summarized as follows: A health care body (760) includes a base plate (762) for supporting the user's head; a pair of head positioning plates (766) symmetrical about the longitudinal axis of the head and laterally movably disposed on the base plate (762) for positioning the user's head to facilitate working on an acupoint on the user's head or face; a moving device (772) is installed between the base plate (762) and the pair of head positioning plates (766) for determining the distance between the pair of head positioning plates (766) to adapt to the user's face width or head width; and an acupoint working component is installed on the base plate (762) or the head positioning plate (766) for working on the acupoint.

[0498] As described above, the head health care device further includes a pressure sensor (784) installed on at least one of the pair of positioning plates (766), and its position is near the user's temple, so that when the pair of positioning plates (766) touches or clamps the user's head to some extent, the power supply of the mobile device is cut off.

[0499] As mentioned above, the head health care body, wherein the moving device (772) is a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder.

[0500] As described above, the head health care body has a pair of forward and backward buttons (786, 788) on each side of the base plate (762) to control the movement of the device.

[0501] As described above, the head health care body has a base plate (762) with a pair of grooves (764); and each positioning plate (766) has a pair of lower convex slides (782) with two side ears, which are slidably disposed in the corresponding pair of grooves (764).

[0502] As described above, the head health care body has a first end (774) fixed on a base plate (762) and a second end (776) which is fixed to a corresponding positioning block (766) by a pair of connecting rods (768, 770).

[0503] As mentioned above, the head health care body has an inverted triangular hole (780) in the middle area of ​​the base plate (762) so that the user's eyes and nose are not compressed when lying face down.

[0504] As mentioned above, each of the positioning plates (766) is provided with an ear hole (778) to allow a user's ear to pass through.

[0505] From another perspective, a health care body 760 is used to hold an acupoint working component (such as...) on it. Figure 1 (As described in the embodiments below), to perform a health care function on a user, wherein the user has a head, a face and an acupoint, and the health care body includes: a base plate 762 for supporting the head or face thereon, so as to maintain a first specific positional relationship between the base plate and the head or face; a pair of head positioning plates (766), symmetrically disposed on the base plate and laterally movably arranged about the longitudinal axis of the head, for positioning the head or face to facilitate a health care function on the user through the acupoint; a moving device (772) disposed between the base plate and the pair of head positioning plates for setting the distance between the pair of head positioning plates to adapt to the user's face width or head width; and a workpiece holder (such as... Figure 1As described in the embodiments below, it has: a first end connected to the substrate; and a second end for holding the acupoint working member thereon, so that the acupoint working member performs the health care work under the condition of having a second specific positional relationship with the acupoint under the first specific positional relationship.

[0506] From another perspective, a health care body 760 includes: a base plate 762 for supporting a user's head or face, maintaining a first specific positional relationship between the base plate and the head or face, wherein the head or face has an acupoint; a pair of head positioning plates 766, symmetrically and laterally movably disposed on the base plate about the longitudinal axis of the head, for positioning the head or face to facilitate health care for the user through the acupoint; a moving device 772, installed between the base plate and the pair of head positioning plates, for setting the distance between the pair of head positioning plates to accommodate the user's face width or head width; and a workpiece holder (such as...). Figure 1 (As described in the embodiments below), comprising: a first end connected to the substrate; and a second end for holding an acupoint working element (such as...) thereon. Figure 1 (as described in the embodiments below) to perform the health care function, so that the acupoint working element performs the health care function under the condition of having a second specific positional relationship with the acupoint under the first specific positional relationship.

[0507] Those with a keen understanding of acupuncture might immediately question whether the acupoint location mechanism described above, while novel, is incomplete or ideal. This incompleteness stems from the fact that, taking the aforementioned head health device as an example, there are acupoints on the top of the head. If the acupoint positioning device were placed on the positioning plate 766, the distance would seem relatively far, potentially raising concerns about "precise" positioning. Therefore, we can develop the following logic: if we can solve the precise positioning of acupoints on the front, back, and top of the head, then by adapting or modifying this solution, the precise positioning of all other acupoints throughout the body will naturally be readily available. Of course, to avoid any doubt from those familiar with this technique, while revealing this solution below, we will also briefly explain why the precise positioning of other acupoints is already a piece of cake.

[0508] Figure 7 This is a precisely positioned head care device 800, which includes a care unit 802, but... Figure 6 The two positioning plates 766 are modified into the two track bodies 804 in this drawing. Visually, it seems to abandon simplicity for complexity, but this is the only way for this invention to leap from a basic level to an advanced level, as described below. However, to avoid overly complex drawings, the first displacement or adjustment device for the distance between the two track bodies 804 has already been disclosed in previous embodiments, therefore... Figure 7No longer displayed. Each track body 804 has an upper surface 810, and a pair of toothed grooves 806 are provided on both longitudinal sides near the upper surface 810. A lower toothed rail 808 is provided on the top surface of the toothed grooves 806. In addition, an upper toothed rail 812 is also provided on the upper surface 810 along the longitudinal direction.

[0509] The first displacement or adjustment device of the two track bodies 804 adjusts the distance between them, while the carrier bodies 814 and 816 are used to support a working base 848. Because the carrier bodies 814 and 816 must accommodate changes in the distance between the two track bodies 804 while still fully bearing the load, they are two-piece units. A pair of positioning rods 832 are respectively provided on the far and near sides of the left end face 830 of the carrier body 816, and a pair of positioning slots 834 are correspondingly provided on the carrier body 814, so that regardless of how the distance between the two track bodies 804 changes within the necessary adjustment range, the upper surfaces 858 and 860 of the two carrier bodies 814 and 816 are always on the same bearing horizontal plane.

[0510] Each of the proximal surfaces 862 and 864 of the carrier bodies 814 and 816 is provided with a pair of positioning plates 818, and each positioning plate 818 is provided with a positioning gear 820 for meshing with the lower gear rail 808. Each of the two proximal surfaces 862 and 864 is respectively fixed with a stepper motor 822 and a toothed guard plate (with or without tooth grooves) 824. The stepper motor 822 has a motor shaft 826, and the motor shaft 826 is coaxially fixed with a gear 828. In this way, when the gear 828 is driven to rotate by the stepper motor 822, since the carrier bodies 814 and 816 are already engaged with the lower gear rail 808 by the positioning gear 820, the gear 828 will be securely engaged with the upper gear rail 812 (between the toothed guard plate 824 (if it has teeth)) and rotate, which will drive the carrier bodies 814 and 816 to move longitudinally along the two track bodies 804. Furthermore, the entire mechanism, namely all components carried and fixed by the vehicle bodies 814 and 816, achieves a second displacement or position adjustment function (i.e., along the longitudinal direction of the track body 804) through the cooperation of the two sets of upper gears 828 and the paired lower gears 820. The purpose or function of this second displacement or position adjustment will be explained later.

[0511] A positioning plate 836 is fixed to one side of the carrier body 814 to fix another stepper motor 838, which drives the screw 840. A screw groove 842 is fixed to the upper surfaces 858 and 860 to accommodate the screw 840 and has two side wall surfaces 844. The working base 848 is driven by the stepper motor 838 along the side wall surfaces 844 via a moving member 846 screwed to the screw 840 to determine its working position. To accommodate changes in the distance between the two track bodies 804, a central protrusion 852 is provided at the bottom of the right half of the screw groove 842, and a corresponding groove 854 is provided on the upper surface 860 to allow the central protrusion 852 to slide freely within the groove 854. Of course, to increase the smoothness of sliding, a plurality of ball bearings 856 can be provided between the central protrusion 852 and the groove 854 to enhance its sliding performance. In this way, the mechanism enables the working base 848 to freely move in its intended working position on the screw groove 842 in a third way, without being affected by the aforementioned first and second displacements or position adjustments. The function or purpose of this third displacement or position adjustment will be explained later. A fixing bolt 850 is provided on the working base 848 for fixing a working part, which will also be explained later.

[0512] According to research, the standard for measuring the width of the head and face is the Touwei acupoint (international designation ST8, located 5 fen within the hairline at the corner of the forehead, primarily treating eye pain, blurred vision, severe headache, splitting headache, and dizziness) on the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming. The distance between the two Touwei acupoints is 9 cun, which is the standard for measuring the width of the head. In detail, when the two orbital bodies 804... Figure 6 After the first displacement or adjustment device 772 adjusts the distance between each other to position a user's face, we can then activate the third displacement or position adjustment mechanism (component assembly 838-856) to perform health care or medical work. This work can therefore be performed with great precision, firstly because the positioning of the stepper motor can be extremely accurate; secondly, we can first activate the stepper motor 838 to determine the specific body size suitable for each person, that is, first move the working base 848 to confirm the position of the two acupoints (international code ST8), and calculate the actual distance between them, and convert this actual distance into 9 body inches, so that we know the exact body inch of a specific person; thirdly, when we know the exact body inch of a person, we can accurately find the location of other acupoints; fourthly, when we can accurately find the location of a particular acupoint, we can perform health care or medical work on that acupoint without any doubt of misdiagnosis or mistreatment.

[0513] As mentioned earlier, the diagrams are not overly complex, and the Health Body 802 is somewhat simplified. Another point should also be mentioned here: Figure 7This product is suitable for head and facial health care. Taking the Du meridian as an example, there are acupoints on the back of the head: Yamen (international code GV15), Fengfu (international code GV16), Naohu (international code GV17), Qiangjian (international code GV18), and Houding (international code GV19). Therefore, the areas of the health care body 802 corresponding to these acupoints need to be hollowed out. There are two ways to hollow out these areas: either dig horizontal grooves to expose the spaces corresponding to these acupoints, or dig vertical through holes corresponding to these acupoints. Since this consideration is not difficult, it will not be further described or illustrated.

[0514] Please see Figure 7A The connector 870 is acupoint working component. A fixing nut 876 is attached to its first end 874, while acupoint working component nut 882 is attached to its second end 880. The fixing nut 876 is screwed onto the fixing bolt 850 with its internal thread 878, allowing the acupoint working component connector 870 to be precisely positioned on the supporting bodies 814 and 816. The working nut 882 is screwed onto an acupoint working component with its internal thread 884 for health maintenance or medical treatment at a specific acupoint. Further details will be provided later.

[0515] The standard head measurement is 12 inches (1 foot 2 inches) from the front hairline to the back hairline. To determine the exact centimeter equivalent of a user's head measurement, we activate the second displacement or position adjustment mechanism (component assemblies 808, 812, and 818-828). Specifically, when we activate the stepper motor 822, the upper gear 828 and the paired lower gears 820 drive the carrier bodies 814 and 816 to move longitudinally along the two track bodies 804. This allows an acupoint exploration component fixed to the working base 848 to explore the actual dimension between a specific user's front and back hairlines. This actual dimension is then converted to 12 head measurements, allowing us to determine the exact centimeter equivalent of each head measurement for that user. It should be mentioned here that, in order for the carrier bodies 814 and 816 to be driven by the stepper motor 822 and move smoothly along the longitudinal curved track 804, the interactive bottom surfaces of the carrier bodies 814 and 816 and the upper surfaces of the two tracks 804 can be provided with appropriate curvature to facilitate relative movement between them. This is a necessary matter and will not be elaborated here.

[0516] Previous reference Figure 6 , 7The first (772), second (component assemblies 808, 812 and 818-828), and third (component assemblies 838-856) displacement or position adjustment mechanisms described in 7A, although using the head as an example, should not be difficult for those familiar with this technology to directly or modify them for use in health care devices for the upper limbs, lower limbs, or torso, so they will not be detailed here. However, we know that through the aforementioned mechanisms, the following amazing effects can be achieved: First, with modern, highly advanced stepper motors, we can accurately locate a specific acupoint; second, we can measure the specific body measurements of a particular user; third, since body measurements are not necessarily the same for different parts of the body, we can find the precise body measurements for a specific part of the same user's body; fourth, it marks a new milestone in the further scientific development of acupoints or acupuncture.

[0527] From another perspective, a health care device 800 is used to hold an acupoint working component (such as...) on it. Figure 1 (and as described in the embodiments below), to provide a health care effect to a user, wherein the user has a body part, the body part has an acupoint, and the health care device includes: a health care body 802 for supporting the body part thereon so as to maintain a first specific positional relationship between the body part and the health care device; a track body 804 disposed on the health care body and extending approximately along the body part; a working base 848 disposed on the track body; an acupoint working element (such as...

[0528] From another perspective, a health care device 800 includes a health care body 802 for supporting a user's body part, maintaining a first specific positional relationship between the body part and the body part, wherein the body part has an acupoint; a track body 804 disposed on the health care body and extending approximately along the body part; a working base 848 disposed on the track body to facilitate health-related work on the user through the acupoint; and a drive device (836-846) installed between the track body 804 and the working base 848 for moving the working base along the track body (e.g., ...).

Figure 1 (as described in the embodiments below) to perform the health-related work, so that the acupoint working component performs the health-related work under the condition of having a second specific positional relationship with the acupoint under the first specific positional relationship.

[0529] With such a precise positioning, displacement, or position adjustment mechanism, if it is only for completing Figure 1 The simple health care shown is still regrettable or lamentable. The following describes the advanced application of the present invention to show its actual industrial value. It is found that currently, physical therapy or acupuncture related to acupoints (i) all rely on professionals, such as Chinese medicine practitioners or assistants; (ii) all rely on the skillful hands of professionals (so that the correct working position can be obtained) or fixed relatively large instruments and equipment (so that it is often difficult to maintain or obtain the relative position of acupoints and related instrument components); (iii) all rely on the professional having sufficient physical strength to maintain the appropriate relative position or contact relationship between the acupoint working parts and the acupoints within a specific time; and (iv) all rely on the professional being in a good mental and emotional state during working hours, so as not to misjudge acupoints and will definitely achieve the aforementioned (iii) task, but at least because (i) people get tired, (ii) moods inevitably fluctuate, and (iii) mental state may occasionally be affected. Inadequately, (iv) consumers may not have sufficient financial resources or time to frequently seek physiotherapy or traditional Chinese medicine services for health maintenance, and / or (v) service providers, such as traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, may also feel great cost pressure in hiring sufficient assistants. Therefore, we can use the aforementioned precise positioning mechanism to at least achieve (i) precise acupoint working parts and the relative positional relationship of acupoints; (ii) continuous and reliable maintenance of the relative positional relationship in (i); (iii) users can obtain the precise positioning device of this invention at a very economical cost and use it at home; (iv) when users' minor illnesses or discomforts are relieved by this invention, they will naturally no longer need to go to the hospital for treatment, and the burden on health insurance should be reduced by at least one-third; and / or (v) rational policies can redirect resources to more initiatives that benefit the country and its people.

[0530] The revelation of an ideal may be moving; but only concrete implementation can gain people's trust. From paragraphs 20 to 29 of this patent specification, we can know or infer that there are various acupoint working devices on the market. For example, (A) microwave needles usually have a focusing working point; (B) radiator instruments often have a planar or curved output end; (C) magnets have a specific working plane; and (D) magnetic fork acid-removing rods have a single relatively large dot at one end and three relatively small working dots at the other end. Please refer to... Figure 8This is a specific embodiment of the working component assembly, including a working base 900 mounted on the previously described health care device and equivalent to the previously described working base 848, which has a longitudinal through hole 902. In this embodiment, the workpiece holder 906 has a first end 908 with an annular groove 916 thereon, and a second end 910 with a connector 912 fixed thereon, and the connector 912 has an internal thread 914. A working component 964 has a first end 918 screwed to the internal thread 914, and a second end 922 which is an acupoint working component used to perform health care work on one of the user's acupoints, and the first and second ends 918 and 922 are connected by a connector 920.

[0531] In use, the first end 908 of the workpiece holder 906 extends through the through hole 902 and is secured to the annular groove 916 by the C-clamp 904 to position the workpiece 906. If the acupoint workpiece, i.e., the second end 922 of the workpiece, is only a front-end microwave or radiation device, then it is only necessary to determine or fix the relative positional relationship between the acupoint workpiece 922 and the acupoint; however, if it is a magnet or magnetic fork acid-removing rod, then a certain degree of pressure must be applied to the acupoint. To achieve this pressure application, since the connector 912 is cylindrical and the first end 918 is cylindrical, the screw depth between the two determines the working pressure applied to the acupoint, thus adjusting the working pressure of the acupoint workpiece 922 in this way. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 8A The first end of the workpiece holder 930 has a threaded section 932 and an annular groove 934. The threaded section 932 is used to fit tightly with the threaded hole 938 on the working base 936 at a specific angle. In this way, the working angle between the acupoint workpiece 922 and one of the acupoints can be adjusted.

[0532] Please refer to Figure 8BThis is a specific embodiment of an acupoint working component 940 applicable to the present invention. The acupoint working component 940 is basically an elongated pneumatic cylinder 942, which has a threaded end 944 for connecting a workpiece holder and a working end 960. Adjacent to the working bottom end 962 of the working end 960, a crankshaft 954, a pointed opening 966, and a rubber pad 958 are rotatably disposed between the crankshaft 954, the pointed opening 966, and the working bottom end 962. A main connecting component 950 has a first end 968 and a second end 970. The second end 970 is fixed with a ring 952. An upper connecting ring 948 is fixed to the piston rod 946 of the pneumatic cylinder 942 and is interlocked with the ring 952. A working ring 956 is fixed to the first end 968 and is movably interlocked with the crank portion of the crankshaft 954. In operation, when the piston rod 946 moves downward, it drives the crankshaft 954 to rotate downward through the upper connecting ring 948, the main connecting member 950, and the working ring 956; conversely, when the piston rod moves upward, it drives the crankshaft 954 to rotate upward through the same components. At this time, the tip opening 966 contacts an acupoint, and the working ring 956, through the rotation of the crankshaft and the rubber pad 958, massages the user through this acupoint. Depending on the characteristics of the acupoint, the shape of the tip opening 966 can be determined, such as a small circular area or an arc-shaped groove corresponding to the working trajectory of the working ring 956.

The health care device has a working base (900), and the acupoint working part (940) includes a working body (942) having a first end (944) and a second end (960), wherein the first end (944) is connected to the working base (900); and a health care medium (922, 956) is disposed on the second end (960) to perform the health care work.

[0547] As described above, the first end of the workpiece is threaded.

[0548] As mentioned above, the working medium of the acupoint working device is microwave, millimeter wave, radiant heat, magnetic force, frequency signal, microcurrent or mugwort heat.

[0549] From another perspective, a health care acupoint device (942, 964) is used to be installed on a health care body (such as 502, 562, 582) to perform a health care function on an acupoint on a part of a user's body. The health care body has a working base (900, 934) to support and position the body part so as to maintain a first specific positional relationship with the body part.

[0550] From another perspective, a health care acupoint device (942, 964) includes: a working body (922, 942) for mounting on a health care body (such as 502, 562, 582), wherein the health care body is used to support and position a body part of a user, the health care body and the body part maintain a first specific positional relationship, the body part has an acupoint, the health care body has a working base (900, 934) for performing a health care function on the user through the acupoint, and the working body has: a first end (944) connected to the working base; and a second end (960); and a health care medium (922; 946-958) disposed at the second end, so that the acupoint device performs the health care function under the first specific positional relationship and with the acupoint under the condition of having a second specific positional relationship.

[0551] If we wish to increase the precision of adjusting the working angle of the acupoint working device, it is not difficult with modern technology. Please refer to... Figure 8CA second embodiment of the workpiece assembly. The figure shows a work base 971 corresponding to a work base 848, on which an angle controller 972 is mounted. The controller includes an angle control assembly 974 and a workpiece support 976. A screw-in cylinder 980 is fixed to the support 976 via a fixing member 978. Thus, the support 976 is controlled by the angle control assembly 974 to give the screw-in cylinder 980 a specific angle relative to the work base 971 or the cavity. Figure 8D The high-elasticity acupoint workpiece clamp 984 is locked to a workpiece support 982 by screws or rivets 986, and the acupoint workpiece clamp 984 has a pair of retaining parts 988 for firmly holding an acupoint workpiece therebetween.

[0552] This section briefly describes an acupoint working component related to the precise adjustment of the working angle, namely a health care device, including a health care body; a working base (971) disposed on the health care body, wherein the health care body is used to provide health care for a user, and the user has an acupoint; an acupoint working component is used to perform a health care work on the user through the acupoint; and an angle controller (972) is used to connect the acupoint working component to the working base (971) so that the acupoint working component can continuously perform the health care work at a specific angle relative to the working base (971) or the acupoint.

[0553] The aforementioned health care device further includes a moving device installed between the working base (971) and the health care body for moving the working base (971) relative to one position of the health care body.

[0554] As described above, the health care device includes an angle control assembly (974) and a workpiece support (976) connected thereto, thereby obtaining a specific working angle of the workpiece support (976) relative to the working base (971) or acupoint.

[0555] As in the health care device mentioned earlier, the workpiece holder (976) is a high-elasticity acupoint workpiece clip (984), which is locked to the workpiece support (982) by means of rivets or screws (986).

[0556] As in the health care device mentioned earlier, the workpiece holder (984) has a pair of elastic holding parts (988) for firmly holding an acupoint workpiece therebetween.

[0557] If one believes that the aforementioned working parts and health care device constitute a complete disclosure of the technology related to acupoint health care in this invention, further discussion is warranted. Specifically, while the last embodiment above has solved the problem of precise angle control, taking the Gallbladder Meridian of Foot-Shaoyang as an example, some acupoints have irregular pathways. For instance, the three acupoints Yanglingquan (international code GB34, treating knee pain, sciatica, hemiplegia, lower limb numbness, and cholecystitis), Yangjiao (international code GB35, treating chest and rib distension, chest fullness and sore throat, knee pain, foot weakness, mania, and facial swelling), and Waiqiu (international code GB36, treating headache, neck pain, hepatitis, lower limb paralysis, and poisoning from dog bites) span the anterior, midline, and posterior sides of the lower leg. Even if, as described above, we could solve the positioning problem, it would require significant effort for only a few acupoints, which is clearly not cost-effective. Therefore, if we could design a way that allows the acupoint working component to be tilted arbitrarily relative to the working base, the usability and satisfaction of this case would be greatly improved.

[0558] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, please refer to Figure 9 This is one embodiment of a workpiece assembly 1000 coupled with a robotic arm. Modern technology often amazes us; robots or robotic arms can often work with great precision. This workpiece assembly 1000 includes a corresponding... Figure 7 Working base 848 Figure 9 A working base 1022, on which a working platform 1020 is fixed. The working platform 1020 can precisely control the rotation angle to support a rotating platform 1018, and the rotating platform 1018 can precisely control the pivot angle to connect to the first end 1024 of a connecting base 1014. An extension base 1010 is connected at its first end 1012 to a rotating shaft 1016 at the second end 1026 of the connecting base 1014, and at its second end 1028 to the first end 1030 of a rotating head 1008, and the second end 1032 of the rotating head can be precisely rotatably fixed to an electric chuck 1002. The electric chuck 1002 has two clamps 1004, each having a pair of holding surfaces 1006, so as to hold a previously described acupoint working piece therebetween. Through these four rotational actions, we can easily and immediately imagine: (1) Figure 7 (2) Some displacement designs or requirements in the process must be replaced; (3) such as combining this workpiece assembly 1000 with Figure 5 On the lower limb health care body 660, it becomes very easy to locate irregular acupoints on the Gallbladder Meridian of Foot-Shaoyang; (3) the planar distance, vertical height and relative angle of the acupoint tool relative to the reference point or positioning point on the health care body relative to the specific part of the body or acupoint to be cared for can be completely grasped (which can be accurately calculated through the aforementioned four rotational movements); and (4) therefore, it is foreseeable that medical-grade actions can be performed on acupoints using the acupoint tool. The principle will be explained in the following paragraph.

[0559] As previously mentioned, there are standards for hand and leg measurements. If we further understand the following standards for the chest and abdomen, then by referring to the structures previously revealed, we can understand that after finding reference acupoints, we can find and calculate specific individual measurements. This also helps in automatically finding other acupoints by computer, thus avoiding acupoint mis-finding caused by fatigue of doctors or humans, which will be discussed later. (i) Standard measurement for the chest: from Tian Tu (CV22) to Tan Zhong (CV17, midway between the breasts) is 6.8 cun; (ii) Standard measurement for the upper abdomen: from Qi Gu (xiphoid process) to the navel (CV8, Shenque) is 8 cun; (iii) Standard measurement for the lower abdomen: from the navel (CV8) to Qu Gu (CV2) is 5 cun; (iv) Standard measurement for the lateral abdomen: from Zhang Men (LR13) to Huan Tiao (GB30) is 9 cun; and (v) Standard measurement for the transverse cun of the limbs: between the breasts is 8 cun. Therefore, once Tan Zhong is located, 1.6 body cun below it is Zhong Ting (CV16). In detail, according to the aforementioned robotic arm device (components 1002-1020), (i) the first rotation mechanism (between components 1018 and 1020) can determine the angular relationship between the working base or health care body and an acupoint; (ii) the second pivot mechanism (between components 1018 and 1014) can, alone or in conjunction with other mechanisms, at least determine the linear distance relationship between the working base or health care body and an acupoint; (iii) the third pivot mechanism (between components 1010 and 1014) can, alone or in conjunction with other mechanisms, at least determine the height relationship between the working base or health care body and an acupoint; and (iv) the fourth rotation mechanism (between components 1010 and 1002) can determine the angular relationship between the acupoint working component and an acupoint; (v) all the aforementioned relationships can be easily calculated automatically by a computer to obtain the distance and orientation (in fact, representing the position of a certain acupoint) at which the robotic arm device allows the acupoint working component to perform health care or medical work on the user through the acupoint. Therefore, while it is often necessary to insert needles at an angle for acupoints on the head or face, this is no longer a problem because the control and adjustment of the relative tilt angle between the acupoint working component and the working base has become possible due to the aforementioned mechanism. Of course, as we have already explained, this robotic arm device can be directly mounted on a health care unit or mounted on a working base already mounted on the health care unit.

[0560] The following is a summary of the main and related claims of the aforementioned workpiece assembly 1000, namely, a health care device, comprising a health care body for providing health care to a user, wherein the health care body is used to provide health care to a user, and the user has an acupoint; a work platform (1020) disposed on the health care body; an acupoint workpiece for performing a health care work on the user through the acupoint; and a robotic arm device (component assembly 1002-1020) connected to the work platform (1020) for holding the acupoint workpiece so that the acupoint workpiece can perform the health care work at a specific relationship position relative to the work platform (1020) or the acupoint.

[0561] The aforementioned health care device further includes a working base (1022) disposed between the health care body and the working platform (1020); and a moving device ( Figure 7 ), which is located between the working base (1022) and the health care body.

[0562] The aforementioned health care device further includes a rotating platform (1018), which is supported on the work platform (1020) in a manner that allows for precise control of the rotation angle.

[0563] The health care device mentioned earlier also includes a connecting base (1014), which is connected to the rotating platform (1018) in a manner that allows for precise control of the pivot angle.

[0564] The health care device, as described above, further includes an extension base (1010) having a first end (1012) and being connected to the connecting base (1014) in a manner that allows for precise control of the pivot angle.

[0565] As described above, the health care device includes a rotating head (1008) for precisely rotatably fixing an electric clamp (1002), wherein the electric clamp (1002) has two clamps (1004), and the two clamps (1004) each have a pair of holding surfaces (1006) to hold an acupoint working piece therebetween.

[0566] If we use our imagination, given the extremely high level of precision achievable with the aforementioned health care device, its application in acupuncture needle insertion is foreseeable. Since angle control and adjustment can already be accomplished using the previous embodiment, we will humbly... Figure 9AIt is easy to understand that implementing automated needle insertion in acupuncture is feasible. Perhaps we might wonder why this invention, which strongly emphasizes human characteristics in acupuncture, would attempt to be innovative by using a mechanical method. This doubt contradicts the call for the "scientification of Traditional Chinese Medicine," especially since the scientific spirit of investigation and knowledge is not inherently lacking in China. The *Complete Book of Acupuncture* states, "Needle withdrawal should be slow; haste leads to injury," meaning that the needle should be withdrawn slowly because a machine obeys human commands and is not influenced by mood or emotion. Therefore, we can mechanically determine the ideal speed for needle withdrawal—this is one reason. The "Essentials of Acupuncture" chapter of the *Huangdi Neijing* states, "There are superficial and deep acupuncture points, and the depth of needling varies. Each point should be needled according to its proper principle, without exceeding its proper course. Exceeding this will cause internal injury, while failing to reach the proper depth will cause external obstruction. Obstruction will allow pathogens to follow. Improper depth will become a major threat, internally affecting the five viscera and leading to serious illness." Upon examination, each acupoint, for a specific condition, has its appropriate depth of needling. Based on the same principle, mechanically determining the appropriate depth of needle insertion while eliminating interference from human factors is surely the best approach. This is the second point.

[0567] Figure 9A This is one embodiment of the automatic needle insertion acupoint working device 1040, which includes and Figure 9 The rotating head 1008 is similar to a rotating head 1042 and an automatic needle insertion device 1044. The automatic needle insertion device 1044 includes an electrically operated holder 1048 (or a non-electrically operated holder) for holding an acupoint device (e.g., an acupuncture acupoint device), and a needle insertion mechanism 1046 that can longitudinally move the electrically operated holder 1048 and is pivotally mounted on the rotating head 1042. The needle insertion mechanism 1046 enables the orderly insertion of the acupoint device or controls its insertion speed using a continuously variable motor. This part of the technical task can be easily achieved by those skilled in the relevant techniques and will not be elaborated upon here. Of course, when it is necessary to expel pathogenic factors drastically, the needle hole must be enlarged. In this case, the needle insertion parameters are not limited to speed but must also include front-to-back and left-to-right polarization. Given the above technical disclosure, this part of the technical task should be easily achieved by those skilled in the relevant techniques and will not be elaborated upon here either.

[0568] The following is a summary of the main and related claims of the aforementioned automatic acupuncture point working component 1040, namely, a health care device, comprising a health care body for providing health care to a user, wherein the health care body is used to provide health care to a user, and the user has an acupuncture point; an acupuncture point working component for performing acupuncture on the user through the acupuncture point; a robotic arm device (component assembly 1002-1020) disposed on the health care body and holding the acupuncture point working component so that the acupuncture point working component can perform the acupuncture on the user at a specific position relative to the health care body or the acupuncture point; and a needle insertion mechanism (1046) disposed between the acupuncture point working component and the robotic arm so that the acupuncture point working component performs the acupuncture on the user with a specific control parameter.

[0569] As mentioned above, the automatic needle insertion device for acupuncture points has a specific control parameter that is a speed control parameter.

[0570] As mentioned above, in the automatic needle insertion acupoint working device, the specific control parameter is a polarization parameter.

[0571] The aforementioned automatic needle insertion acupoint working device further includes a holding device (1048) for holding the acupoint working device.

[0572] The automatic needle insertion acupoint working component in the front section further includes a needle insertion mechanism (1046), which is configured to longitudinally displace the holder (1048).

[0573] The automatic needle insertion acupoint working component in the front section further includes a rotating head (1042) for rotatably mounting the needle insertion mechanism (1046) on the robotic arm device.

[0574] From another perspective, a health care device 1000 is used to hold an acupoint working component thereon for performing a health care function on a user. The user has a body part, the body part has an acupoint, and the health care device includes: a health care body (such as 502, 562, 582) for supporting and positioning the body part so as to maintain a first specific positional relationship with the body part; a working platform (1020) disposed on the health care body; and a robotic arm device (1002-1018) connected to the working platform for holding the acupoint working component so that the acupoint working component performs the health care function under the first specific positional relationship and a second specific positional relationship with the working platform or the acupoint.

[0575] From another perspective, a health care device (1000) includes: a health care body (such as 502, 562, 582) for supporting and positioning a body part of a user, so as to maintain a first specific positional relationship with the body part for performing a health care function on the user, wherein the body part has an acupoint; a work platform (1020) disposed on the health care body; and a robotic arm device (1002-1018) connected to the work platform for holding an acupoint workpiece, so that the acupoint workpiece performs the health care function under the first specific positional relationship, with a second specific positional relationship between it and the work platform or the acupoint.

[0576] The hardware aspects of this invention have now been disclosed. It can be seen that each section focuses on adjusting the body's "energy field" immediately upon the initial appearance of symptoms, using the device described above to regulate the body and achieve the goal described in the *Huangdi Neijing Suwen* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic), specifically the chapter on "Transforming Essence and Qi," which states, "Thus, one can distance oneself from death and approach life, thus extending the way of life," leading to health, longevity, and a peaceful old age. We sincerely... Figure 10The flowchart summarizes the intent of this invention as follows: A health care body 1100 is provided, wherein the health care body and a body part of a user have a first relative positional relationship, and the body part has an acupoint; an acupoint working component 1110 is provided to perform a health care function on the user through the acupoint, having a second positional relationship relative to the health care body and a third positional relationship relative to the acupoint; and a positioning device 1120 is provided, disposed between the acupoint working component and the health care body, to position the acupoint working component on the health care body, and to allow the acupoint working component to perform the health care function in the second and third positional relationships.

[0577] From another perspective, this invention is a health care method for a user, wherein the user has a body part and the body part has an acupoint, comprising: providing a health care body (1130); positioning the body part on the health care body (1140) under the condition that the health care body and the body part have a first relative positional relationship; providing an acupoint working component (1150) to perform a health care work on the user through the acupoint; providing a position adjustment device (1160) disposed between the acupoint working component and the health care body to maintain a second positional relationship between the health care body and the acupoint working component; and causing the acupoint working component to perform the health care work according to a control parameter (1180).

[0578] As described in the aforementioned health care method, the first relative positional relationship is to maintain the relative positional relationship between the body part and the health care body in a specific posture.

[0579] As described above, the health care method further includes a step (1170) between the step of providing the position adjustment device (1160) and the step of making the acupoint working piece perform the health care work according to a control parameter (1180). This step involves making the acupoint working piece have a specific angular relationship with the acupoint.

[0580] As described in the aforementioned health care method, the second relative positional relationship is such that the acupoint working piece maintains a relative positional relationship with the health care body at least one of three factors: a specific distance, direction, and height.

[0581] As described in the aforementioned health care method, the control parameter is one of the working modes of the acupoint working device to perform the health care work.

[0582] As in the previous health care method, the working method involves keeping the acupoint and the acupoint stationary.

[0583] As mentioned in the aforementioned health care method, the working method involves maintaining a specific contact relationship between the acupoint working component and the acupoint.

[0584] As in the health care method described above, the specific contact relationship is that the acupoint device performs a massage action on the user through the acupoint.

[0585] As mentioned in the aforementioned health care method, the working method involves inserting or withdrawing the acupoint device at a specific speed.

[0586] From another perspective, a method for performing a health care procedure on a user using an acupoint device, wherein the user has a body part and the body part has an acupoint, the method includes: providing a health care body 1110 for supporting the body part; positioning the body part on the health care body so that the health care body and the body part have a first relative positional relationship 1120; and providing a position adjustment device 1160 so that the health care body and the acupoint device maintain a second positional relationship with each other, or the acupoint device and the acupoint maintain a second positional relationship, so that the acupoint device can perform the health care procedure according to a control parameter.

[0587] From another perspective, a health care method includes: providing a health care body 1110 for the health care of a user, wherein the user has a body part, the body part has an acupoint, and the health care body is used to support the body part so that when the health care body holds an acupoint working component thereon, a health care effect can be performed on the user; positioning the body part on the health care body so that the health care body and the body part have a first relative positional relationship 1120; and providing a position adjustment device 1160 so that the health care body and the acupoint working component maintain a second positional relationship with each other, or the acupoint working component and the acupoint maintain a second positional relationship with each other, so that the acupoint working component can perform the health care work according to a control parameter.

[0588] The methods described above, if involving medical procedures, may fall under the category of disease treatment methods and may not be considered patentable. However, since they are merely health care practices, they should not be considered treatment methods, and this is stated in advance.

[0589] To achieve the goal mentioned earlier, please refer to... Figure 10BThis is an embodiment of the health care system 1200 of the present invention, and includes a health care unit 1210. The health care unit 1210 has a small computer 1215 for network connection to a cloud database 1400 and a service center 1500.

From the symptom treatment module 1240, the user can select or input their current discomfort symptoms, and the cloud database 1400 will provide acupoints or plans for health care. It can also be a personal health history recording module 1250, used to record one's own health history. Alternatively, it can be a feedback / report module 1260, which records user satisfaction or problems encountered after using health care based on acupoints recommended by the cloud database 1400. Modules 1240, 1250, 1260, and other health-related modules can be individual modules, standalone modules, or small modules integrated into the same program.

[0590] Through the cloud database 1400, users can search for and confirm symptoms or their treatment methods using the screen 1270 and / or keyboard and / or mouse 1280. Through the service center 1500, users can consult, seek medical advice, and / or confirm acupuncture procedures using the microphone 1290 and / or camera 1300. Of course, the health care system 1200 must first be confirmed by the health authorities as having the qualifications of a doctor or to perform medical procedures before acupuncture can be performed. As mentioned above, through the collection, research, and confirmation of acupuncture data, deep learning, and continuous user feedback, the cloud database 1400, combined with the service center 1500 staffed by TCM doctors, should be able to achieve remarkable health care or medical effects. Of course, learning is endless, and this disclosure is only a good start; much more effort is needed to truly bring back the legendary physicians Hua Tuo and Bian Que.
