[0018] At least a portion of the sealing element is made of elastic material.

[0019] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the main body has a notch, and the depth direction of the notch intersects with the height direction of the main body.

[0020] The present invention also provides a method for operating a cupping device, comprising the following steps:

[0021] Step 1: Place the cupping device on the skin surface, operate the driving assembly to start the sensor and air pump, and extract the gas in the chamber to create a negative pressure state in the chamber;

[0022] Step 2: Operate the drive assembly to start the atomizer and the irradiation lamp. The atomizer atomizes the liquid medicine adsorbed on the cotton core, and the liquid medicine is converted into mist and diffused in the chamber.

[0023] Step 3: Press the pusher to allow the air outside the chamber to enter the chamber through the air hole to make the air pressure inside and outside the chamber consistent, and then remove the cupping device.

[0024] The technical solution provided by the present invention has the following advantages and effects:

[0025] 1. Place the adsorption cotton core into the receiving groove of the main body. The atomizer has a first movable position and a second movable position. In the first movable position, the adsorption cotton core is at least partially exposed relative to the atomizer; in the second movable position, an atomization chamber is formed between the atomizer and the receiving groove, and the adsorption cotton core is located in the atomization chamber; when the atomizer is in the first movable position, the adsorption cotton core can be taken out to replace the used adsorption cotton core, and the adsorption cotton core is used to absorb the liquid medicine; when the cupping device needs to use different medicines, adsorption cotton cores filled with different liquid medicines can also be used. When replacing the adsorption cotton core, only the atomizer needs to be moved, making it easy to operate during use; when the receiving groove needs to be cleaned, the atomizer can also be moved for cleaning. When the atomizer is in its second movable position, an atomization chamber is formed between the atomizer and the receiving groove, which is used to seal or fix the adsorption cotton core. The atomizer uses high-frequency vibrations to break up the structure of liquid water molecules, producing a naturally flowing mist, which flows into the chamber through the atomization hole. The atomization hole is used to allow the mist to flow out of the atomization chamber and restrict the outflow of liquid medicine. The chamber of the main body is used to directly contact the skin surface, so that the atomized medicine is evenly distributed on the skin surface. Therefore, the movable arrangement of the atomizer on the main body allows the replacement of different medicines at any time, which has a wide range of adaptability.

[0026] 2. A connecting seat is used to be installed on the main body, and the connecting seat has a first through hole for the adsorption cotton core to pass through. The first end of the fixing seat is hinged to the connecting seat, and the second end of the fixing seat is buckled with the connecting seat, so that the fixing seat can open or close the atomizing chamber, making it more convenient to replace the adsorption cotton core. In addition, a waterproof cover is installed on the outside of the fixing seat and forms a mounting cavity with the inner side of the fixing seat. The fixing seat has a second through hole, so that when the atomizing plate is in operation, the liquid medicine is initially atomized by the tiny ultrasonic vibrations generated by the atomizing plate, and then the liquid medicine is squeezed out through the meshed atomizing holes to form secondary atomization and form aerosol particles with a smaller diameter. Among them, the waterproof cover seals the atomizing chamber to prevent the liquid medicine in the atomizing chamber from dripping into the chamber, so that the atomized liquid medicine flows out from the atomizing chamber, the first through hole, the second through hole, the mounting cavity and the atomizing hole into the chamber in sequence, further improving the atomization effect of the cupping device.

[0027] 3. The second shell is installed on the first end of the first shell, and the second end of the first shell is detachably connected to the tank body. When the size of the connection part of the tank body remains unchanged, the cupping device can be replaced with tank bodies of different sizes. The bottom contact surfaces of tank bodies of different sizes are different, so that tank bodies of different sizes can be used to adapt to different parts of the human body, thereby improving the adaptability of the cupping device; and a drive assembly is provided in the second shell, at least a part of which is arranged on the outer surface of the second shell. The drive assembly is electrically connected to the atomizer, and the drive assembly can be operated on the outer surface of the second shell to start the atomizer, thereby improving the convenience of cupping device operation.

[0028] 4. An air pump is installed in the second shell and connected to the chamber through an air pipe. At the same time, a sensing element is also installed on the first shell, and at least a portion of it is located in the chamber, which is used to sense the air pressure in the chamber. When the driving component drives the sensing element to operate, the sensing element senses the air pressure in the chamber. When the air pressure value sensed by the sensing element is lower than the preset value, the sensing element generates an electrical signal and feeds back to the driving component. The driving component drives the air pump to inhale according to the feedback signal of the sensing element. When the bottom of the tank body is in close contact with the skin surface, the air pump inhales air, and the chamber gradually becomes negative pressure, tightening the skin surface. Since the skin has strong restorative properties, the skin squeezes the inner wall of the bottom of the tank body when it is reset, thereby further improving the adhesion between the tank body and the skin surface. When the sensing element senses that the air pressure in the chamber has reached the preset value, the sensing element will send an electrical signal to the driving component, which will drive the air pump to stop operating through the driving component. The air pump and sensor work together to quickly create a negative pressure within the cupping device's chamber, ensuring the device adheres to the skin. During use, a single button press activates the actuator, automatically inducing the cupping process. Furthermore, compared to adding alcohol to the cupping chamber, which can cause burns if not handled properly, this cupping device utilizes an air pump for suction, significantly improving safety.

[0029] 5. The irradiation lamp is installed on the first shell and located in the chamber, and the irradiation area of ​​the irradiation lamp covers the bottom of the cup body; after the atomizing element performs the atomization operation, the medicine liquid will adhere to the surface of the skin, and the irradiation lamp can be used to heat the medicine liquid on the skin surface. The irradiation lamp can be an infrared lamp. The infrared lamp emits infrared rays, which promotes blood vessel expansion and increases local temperature, thereby simulating the traditional cupping method and improving the performance of the cupping device.

[0030] 6. In order to facilitate the installation of the connecting seat, a seat body is provided on the top of the first shell. The connecting seat is installed on the seat body through a fastener, and the connecting seat is also electrically connected to the driving assembly through the fastener; this fastener not only serves to fix the connecting seat, but also has a conductive function. The first end of the fastener is electrically connected to the driving assembly, and the second end of the fastener is used to contact the atomizing piece. When the fixing seat and the connecting seat are buckled together, the atomizing piece contacts the fastener, so that the driving assembly is electrically connected to the atomizing piece, thereby driving the atomizing piece to operate.

[0031] 7. The inner wall of the first housing has a first slot and a second slot. The second slot extends circumferentially along the first housing, with the length of the second slot intersecting the height of the first slot. The first and second slots are interconnected. During installation, the latch of the third housing enters the first slot of the first housing and pushes the third housing upward, causing the latch to slide into the second slot. The tank body is rotated, causing the latch of the third housing to move along the second slot, thereby engaging the tank body with the first housing. The second slot restricts the tank body from moving in its height direction. The tank body can be installed or removed by rotating the tank body clockwise or counterclockwise. Secondly, the outer diameter of the third housing is smaller than that of the fourth housing. This arrangement allows the outer surface of the fourth housing to be flush with the outer surface of the first housing after the third housing and the first housing are engaged, thereby improving the structural compactness and appearance of the cupping device.

[0032] 8. After the cupping operation is completed, in order to quickly release pressure and separate the cupping device, a pusher is provided on the outer wall of the first housing. By pressing the pusher, the pusher squeezes the seal. Since the seal is at least partially made of an elastic material, after the seal is squeezed, at least part of the pores are opened by the seal, allowing air outside the chamber to flow into the chamber. After the air inside the chamber reaches a certain value, the chamber is depressurized. When the air pressure inside the chamber is consistent with the air pressure outside the chamber, the cupping device can be easily removed from the skin surface. When the cupping device needs to be used for cupping, in the absence of external force pressing the pusher, the compression spring squeezes the seal, causing the seal to seal the pores, preventing external air from entering the chamber through the pores, and creating a negative pressure state in the chamber during operation. Therefore, the use of the pusher, seal, and compression spring provides the cupping device with a one-touch pressure relief function, further improving the convenience of the cupping device.

[0033] 9. In order to facilitate the cupping operation of this cupping device, a notch is provided on the outer wall of the main body. The depth direction of the notch intersects with the height direction of the main body, so that when holding the cupping device, the fingers can be inserted into the notch, thereby facilitating the fingers to act on the cupping device and easily removing the cupping device, thereby further improving the convenience of operating the cupping device.

[0034] 10. The operation method of this cupping device allows for quick cupping operations. During cupping operations, multiple cupping devices are attached to the skin surface at the same time, requiring simultaneous operation. Therefore, ease of operation is an important performance indicator of the cupping device, which can enhance user experience. Furthermore, this operation method facilitates promotion and learning.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Unless otherwise specified or defined, the "first, second..." used in this article is only used to distinguish names and does not represent a specific quantity or order.

[0046] Unless stated otherwise or defined otherwise, the term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0047] It should be noted that, in this document, “fixed to” or “connected to” may mean directly fixing or connecting to an element, or indirectly fixing or connecting to an element.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a cupping device 100 includes a main body 1 and an atomizing assembly 6, wherein the main body 1 has a receiving groove 131 and a chamber 21, and the atomizing assembly 6 has an adsorption cotton core 61 and an atomizing element 60, wherein the adsorption cotton core 61 is at least partially movably arranged in the receiving groove 131, and the atomizing element 60 is movably arranged on the main body 1 and is located in the chamber 21; the atomizing element 60 has a first movable position and a second movable position, in the first movable position, the adsorption cotton core 61 is at least partially exposed relative to the atomizing element 60; in the second movable position, an atomizing chamber 69 is formed between the atomizing element 60 and the receiving groove 131, and the adsorption cotton core 61 is located in the atomizing chamber 69; the atomizing element 60 has an atomizing hole 681, and the atomizing chamber 69 is connected to the chamber 21 through the atomizing hole 681. When the atomizer 60 is in the first moving position, the adsorption cotton core 61 can be taken out to replace the used adsorption cotton core 61. The adsorption cotton core 61 is used to absorb the medicinal liquid. When the cupping device 100 needs to use different medicaments, the adsorption cotton core 61 filled with different medicinal liquids can also be used. When replacing the adsorption cotton core 61, only the atomizer 60 needs to be moved, making it easy to operate during use. When the receiving tank 131 needs to be cleaned, the atomizer 60 can also be moved for cleaning. When the atomizer 60 is in the second moving position, an atomizer chamber 69 is formed between the atomizer 60 and the receiving groove 131 for sealing or fixing the adsorption cotton core 61. The atomizer 60 uses high-frequency oscillation to break up the liquid water molecular structure to produce a naturally flowing water mist, which flows into the chamber 21 through the atomizer hole 681. The mist in the atomizer chamber 69 flows out through the atomizer hole 681. At the same time, this atomizer hole 681 restricts the outflow of liquid medicine. The chamber 21 of the main body 1 is used to directly contact the skin surface, so that the atomized medicine is evenly distributed on the skin surface. Therefore, the atomizer 60 is movably set on the main body 1, which can realize the replacement of different medicines at any time and has a wide range of adaptability.

[0049] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the atomizer 60 includes an atomizer sheet 64, a connecting seat 65, a fixing seat 66 and a waterproof cover 68. The connecting seat 65 has a first through hole 651 for the adsorption cotton core 61 to pass through. The connecting seat 65 is installed on the main body 1. The first end of the fixing seat 66 is hinged to the first end of the connecting seat 65, and the second end of the fixing seat 66 is buckled with the second end of the connecting seat 65; the waterproof cover 68 is installed on the outer side of the fixing seat 66, and forms a mounting cavity between the fixing seat 66 and the inner side of the fixing seat 66, and the atomizer sheet 64 is arranged in the mounting cavity; the fixing seat 66 has a second through hole, and the atomizer hole 681 is located on the waterproof cover 68; wherein, the atomizer chamber 69, the first through hole 651, the second through hole, the mounting cavity, and the atomizer hole 681 are connected in sequence. The connecting base 65 is mounted on the main body 1 and has a first through-hole 651 for the adsorption cotton core 61 to pass through. The first end of the fixing base 66 is hinged to the connecting base 65, and the second end of the fixing base 66 is buckled to the connecting base 65, so that the fixing base 66 can open or close the atomization chamber 69, making it more convenient to replace the adsorption cotton core 61. In addition, the waterproof cover 68 is mounted on the outside of the fixing base 66 and forms a mounting cavity between it and the inside of the fixing base 66. The fixing base 66 has a second through-hole, so that when the atomizing plate 64 is in operation, the liquid medicine is initially atomized by the tiny ultrasonic vibrations generated by the atomizing plate 64, and then squeezed out through the meshed atomizing holes 681 to form secondary atomization and form aerosol particles with a smaller diameter. Among them, the waterproof cover 68 seals the atomization chamber 69 to prevent the medicinal liquid in the atomization chamber 69 from dripping into the cavity 21, so that the atomized medicinal liquid flows out from the atomization chamber 69, the first through hole 651, the second through hole, the installation cavity and the atomization hole 681 to the cavity 21 in sequence, further improving the atomization effect of the cupping device 100.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the main body 1 includes a first shell 13, a second shell 15, and a can 2. A receiving groove 131 is located within the first shell 13, and a chamber 21 is formed within the can 2. The second shell 15 is mounted on the first end of the first shell 13, and the second end of the first shell 13 is detachably connected to the can 2. Because the second end of the first shell 13 is detachably connected to the can 2, the cupping device 100 can be replaced with cans 2 of different sizes while maintaining the same size at the connection point of the can 2. The bottom contact surfaces of different-sized cans 2 differ, allowing different-sized cans 2 to be used to accommodate different parts of the human body, thereby improving the adaptability of the cupping device 100. The second shell 15 contains a drive assembly 4, at least a portion of which is disposed on the outer surface of the second shell 15. The drive assembly 4 is electrically connected to the atomizer 60. The drive assembly 4 can be operated on the outer surface of the second shell 15 to activate the atomizer 60, improving the ease of operation of the cupping device 100.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the driving component 4 includes an operating panel 42, a driving circuit, a charging socket 41 and a battery (not shown in the figure). The operating panel 42 is arranged on the top of the second shell 15, and the driving circuit is arranged in the second shell 15 through the circuit board 43, and the charging socket 41 and the battery are both electrically connected to the driving circuit; the battery is charged through the charging socket 41, and the battery provides power to the air pump 11, the atomizing plate 64 and the irradiation lamp 62.

[0052] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the cupping device 100 also includes an air pump 11, a sensor 63 and an air tube 12. The air pump 11 is installed in the second shell 15, and the air tube 12 is installed on the first shell 13. The first end of the air tube 12 extends into the chamber 21, and the second end of the air tube 12 is installed on the suction end of the air pump 11; the sensor 63 is installed in the first shell 13, and at least a portion of it is located in the chamber 21. The sensor 63 and the air pump 11 are respectively electrically connected to the drive assembly 4. The air pump 11 is installed in the second shell 15 and is connected to the chamber 21 through the air pipe 12; at the same time, the sensing part 63 is also installed on the first shell 13, and at least a part of it is located in the chamber 21, which is used to sense the air pressure in the chamber 21. When the driving component 4 drives the sensing part 63 to operate, the sensing part 63 senses the air pressure in the chamber 21. When the air pressure value sensed by the sensing part 63 is lower than the preset value, the sensing part 63 generates an electrical signal and feeds back to the driving component 4. The driving component 4 drives the air pump 11 to inhale according to the feedback signal of the sensing part 63; when the bottom of the tank body 2 is in close contact with the skin surface, the air pump 11 inhales air, and the chamber 21 gradually becomes negative pressure and tightens the skin surface. Since the skin has strong recovery properties, the skin squeezes the inner wall of the bottom of the tank body 2 when it is reset, thereby further improving the adhesion between the tank body 2 and the skin surface. When the sensing element 63 senses that the air pressure in the chamber 21 reaches a preset value, the sensing element 63 will send an electrical signal to the driving component 4, thereby driving the air pump 11 to stop operating through the driving component 4.

[0053] The air pump 11 and the sensor 63 work together to quickly create a negative pressure within the chamber 21 of the cupping device 100, ensuring that the cupping device 100 adheres to the skin. During use, a single-touch operation of the drive assembly 4 automatically triggers the cupping device 100 to initiate cupping. Furthermore, compared to adding alcohol to the cup 2 and burning it, improper operation can result in burns. Therefore, the cupping device 100 utilizes the air pump 11 for suction, significantly improving safety.

[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the atomizing assembly 6 further includes an irradiation lamp 62, which is mounted on the first housing 13 and located within the chamber 21. The irradiation area of ​​the irradiation lamp 62 covers the bottom of the tank body 2. After the atomizing element 60 performs the atomization operation, the liquid medicine adheres to the skin surface. The irradiation lamp 62 can be used to heat the liquid medicine on the skin surface. This irradiation lamp 62 can be an infrared lamp. The infrared lamp emits infrared rays, which promote blood vessel dilation and increase local temperature, thereby simulating the traditional cupping method and improving the performance of the cupping device 100.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, a seat body 135 and a fastener 67 are provided on the top of the first shell 13, the accommodating groove 131 is located in the seat body 135, the connecting seat 65 is provided with a mounting hole for the fastener 67 to pass through, and the connecting seat 65 is installed on the seat body 135 through the fastener 67, and the first end of the fastener 67 is electrically connected to the drive assembly 4, and the second end of the fastener 67 is used to contact the atomizing plate 64. In order to facilitate the installation of the connecting seat 65, a seat body 135 is provided on the top of the first shell 13. The connecting seat 65 is installed on the seat body 135 through a fastener 67, and the connecting seat 65 is also electrically connected to the driving component 4 through the fastener 67; this fastener 67 not only plays the role of fixing the connecting seat 65, but also has a conductive function. The first end of the fastener 67 is electrically connected to the driving component 4, and the second end of the fastener 67 is used to contact the atomizing sheet 64. When the fixing seat 66 is buckled with the connecting seat 65, the atomizing sheet 64 contacts the fastener 67, so that the driving component 4 is electrically connected to the atomizing sheet 64, thereby driving the atomizing sheet 64 to operate.

[0056] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the first shell 13 is a columnar structure, and the inner wall of the first shell 13 has a first card slot 132 and a second card slot 133. The second card slot 133 extends along the circumference of the first shell 13, and the length direction of the second card slot 133 intersects with the height direction of the first card slot 132. The first card slot 132 is connected to the second card slot 133; the tank body 2 includes a third shell 22, a fourth shell 25 and a card column 23. The third shell 22 is installed on the top of the fourth shell 25. The outer diameter of the third shell 22 is smaller than the outer diameter of the fourth shell 25. The card column 23 is installed on the outer wall of the third shell 22; the card column 23 enters the second card slot 133 through the first card slot 132. In the first direction, the card column 23 is engaged with the second card slot 133. During installation, the latch 23 of the third housing 22 enters the first slot 132 of the first housing 13, pushing the third housing 22 upward so that the latch 23 slides into the second slot 133. The cup 2 is then rotated, causing the latch 23 of the third housing 22 to move along the second slot 133, thereby engaging the cup 2 with the first housing 13. The second slot 133 restricts the height movement of the cup 2. Rotating the cup 2 clockwise or counterclockwise allows installation or removal. Furthermore, the outer diameter of the third housing 22 is smaller than that of the fourth housing 25. This arrangement ensures that, after the third housing 22 and the first housing 13 are engaged, the outer surface of the fourth housing 25 is flush with the outer surface of the first housing 13, thereby improving the compactness and aesthetics of the cupping device 100.

[0057] like Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, to improve the sealing between the first housing 13 and the tank body 2, since the outer diameter of the third housing 22 is smaller than that of the fourth housing 25, a sealing ring 14 can be sleeved onto the outside of the third housing 22, and the width of the sealing ring 14 is less than or equal to the difference between the outer diameters of the third housing 22 and the outer diameters of the fourth housing 25. When the third housing 22 moves upward, the latch 23 of the third housing 22 moves in the height direction of the first latch groove 132. Since the sealing ring 14 is made of an elastic material, the latch 23 squeezes the sealing ring 14 as it moves upward. When the latch 23 enters the second latch groove 133 from the first latch groove 132, the sealing ring 14 is squeezed and deformed. The squeezed portion of the sealing ring 14 fills the gap between the first housing 13 and the third housing 22, thereby sealing the first housing 13 and the tank body 2. Furthermore, after being squeezed, the sealing ring 14 fills the gap between the first shell 13 and the third shell 22. Due to its inherent elasticity, the sealing ring 14 resets and exerts a counteracting force on the first and third shells 13 and 22. This reduces the possibility of the first shell 13 shaking relative to the third shell 22 in the absence of external forces, thereby improving the stability of the first shell 13 between the sealing ring 14 and the third shell 22. Therefore, the use of this sealing ring 14 not only seals the cupping device 100 but also improves the stability of the connection between the first shell 13 and the cup body 2 in the cupping device 100.

[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the tank body 2 also has a folded edge portion 24, which can be made of silicone material. The folded edge portion 24 is slightly wider than the thickness of the wall of the tank body 2 and is used to increase the contact area between the bottom of the tank body 2 and the skin surface. When the chamber 21 is in a negative pressure state, the sealing between the tank body 2 and the skin can be improved.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a pressure relief assembly 5 is further provided in the main body 1, and the pressure relief assembly 5 includes a mounting shell 51, a compression spring 52, a seal 53 and a pusher 54. The mounting shell 51 is mounted on the first housing 13, one end of the compression spring 52 is mounted on the inner wall of the mounting shell 51, and the first end of the seal 53 is mounted on the second end of the compression spring 52, and the compression spring 52 and the seal 53 are both located in the mounting shell 51, and the seal 53 abuts against the inner wall of the mounting shell 51; the first housing 13 has an air hole 134 connected to the chamber 21, and the second end of the seal 53 is used to push the pressure relief assembly 55. In abutment with the air hole 134, the pushing member 54 passes through the first shell 13 and slides with the first shell 13; the first end of the pushing member 54 extends into the first shell 13 and is used to abut against the sealing member 53, and the moving direction of the pushing member 54 intersects with the extrusion direction of the compression spring 52; the second end of the pushing member 54 is located on the outer wall of the first shell 13; at least a portion of the sealing member 53 is made of elastic material; this sealing member 53 has a protrusion that cooperates with the air hole 134, and the shape of the protrusion cooperates with the shape of the air hole 134.

[0060] After the cupping operation is completed, in order to quickly release the pressure of the cupping device 100, a pushing member 54 is provided on the outer wall of the first shell 13. By pressing the pushing member 54, the pushing member 54 squeezes the sealing member 53. Since the sealing member 53 is at least partially made of an elastic material, after the sealing member 53 is squeezed, at least a portion of the air hole 134 is opened by the protrusion of the sealing member 53, thereby allowing air outside the chamber 21 to flow into the chamber 21. After the gas in the chamber 21 reaches a certain value, the pressure in the chamber 21 is released. When the air pressure inside the chamber 21 is consistent with the air pressure outside the chamber 21, the cupping device 100 can be easily removed from the skin surface. When the cupping device 100 needs to perform a cupping operation, in the absence of an external force pressing the pusher 54, the compression spring 52 presses the sealing member 53, so that the protrusion of the sealing member 53 seals the air hole 134, preventing external air from entering the chamber 21 through the air hole 134, causing the chamber 21 to be in a negative pressure state during operation; therefore, the use of the pusher 54, the sealing member 53 and the compression spring 52 provides the cupping device 100 with a one-button pressure relief function, further improving the operating convenience of the cupping device 100.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the outer wall of the main body 1 has a notch 3, the depth of which intersects the height of the main body 1. To facilitate cupping operations with the cupping device 100, the notch 3 is provided on the outer wall of the main body 1, with the depth of which intersects the height of the main body 1. This allows fingers to fit into the notch 3 when holding the cupping device 100, making it easier to apply the cupping device 100 and remove it, further enhancing the convenience of operating the cupping device 100.

[0062] The present invention also provides a method for operating the cupping device 100, comprising the following steps:

[0063] Step 1: Place the cupping device 100 on the skin surface, operate the driving assembly 4 to activate the sensor 63 and the air pump 11, and extract the gas in the chamber 21 to make the chamber 21 in a negative pressure state;

[0064] Step 2: Operate the drive assembly 4 to start the atomizer 60 and the irradiation lamp 62. The atomizer 60 atomizes the liquid medicine adsorbed on the cotton core 61, and the liquid medicine is converted into mist and diffused in the chamber 21.

[0065] Step 3: Press the pusher 54 to allow the air outside the chamber 21 to enter the chamber 21 through the air hole 134 to make the air pressure inside and outside the chamber 21 consistent, and then remove the cupping device 100.

[0066] By using the operating method of the cupping device 100, cupping operations can be performed quickly. During the cupping operation, multiple cupping devices 100 are attached to the skin surface at the same time, and multiple cupping devices 100 need to be operated simultaneously. Therefore, ease of operation is a relatively important performance indicator of the cupping device 100, and ease of operation can improve the user experience. In addition, this operating method is easy to promote and learn.

[0067] The above embodiments are not exhaustive and may include many other embodiments not listed above. Any replacements and improvements made without violating the concept of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
