A multifunctional integrated sensor for meridian point dose-effect clinical diagnosis and treatment application

Abstract

The application provides a multifunctional integrated sensor for meridian point dose-effect clinical diagnosis and treatment application. Since all resistance detection electrode pieces and all temperature sensors are arranged on a first surface of an FPC, and two electric stimulation electrode pieces are arranged on a second surface of the FPC, that is, the electric stimulation electrode pieces are not arranged on the same surface of the FPC as the resistance detection electrode pieces and the temperature sensors, even if the electric stimulation electrode pieces are attached by using physiotherapy electrode pieces, the physiotherapy electrode pieces will not shield other devices of the sensor, that is, will not affect other functions of the sensor, so that the electric stimulation electrode pieces can be attached by using the physiotherapy electrode pieces. Since the electric stimulation electrode pieces can be attached by using the physiotherapy electrode pieces, the physiotherapy electrode pieces are isolated between the electric stimulation electrode pieces and the skin, that is, the skin will not directly contact the electric stimulation electrode pieces, so that the sensor can reduce the safety risk.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power electronics technology, and in particular to a multifunctional integrated sensor for clinical diagnosis and treatment applications using acupoint dosage. Background Technology

[0002] In early studies of meridians and acupoints, many scholars have found that when an acupoint is in a pathological state, electrical parameters such as the resistance value of the skin around the acupoint and parameters such as the temperature of the skin around the acupoint will change significantly compared with the parameters when the acupoint is in a physiological state. This discovery can be used to locate acupoints in a pathological state, or to explore the sensitization phenomenon and pattern of acupoints in a pathological state.

[0003] Currently, sensors have been developed that can detect the resistance and temperature of the skin around acupoints. However, the metal electrodes on these sensors, which are used to simulate electroacupuncture stimulation, come into direct contact with the human body, thus posing certain safety risks.

[0004] Therefore, how to reduce security risks is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a multifunctional integrated sensor for clinical diagnosis and treatment of acupoint dosage, so as to reduce the safety risks of multifunctional integrated sensors used in clinical diagnosis and treatment of acupoint dosage.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of the present invention provide the following technical solutions:

[0008] Each of the electrical stimulation electrode pads is electrically connected to the FPC, each of the resistance detection electrode pads is electrically connected to the FPC, and each of the temperature sensors is electrically connected to the FPC;

[0009] All of the resistance sensing electrode sheets and all of the temperature sensors are disposed on the first surface of the FPC;

[0010] Two of the aforementioned electrical stimulation electrode pads are disposed on the second surface of the FPC;

[0011] The electrical stimulation electrode pads are attached using physical therapy electrode pads.

[0012] Optionally, at least one hollow area is provided on the FPC, and the hollow area serves as a needle punching operation space;

[0013] If the number of the hollowed-out areas is equal to 1, then the hollowed-out areas are used to align with the acupoints;

[0014] If the number of hollowed-out areas is greater than 1, then one of the hollowed-out areas is used to align with the acupoint, and the remaining hollowed-out areas are all used as areas adjacent to the acupoint.

[0015] Optionally, the resistance detection electrode is provided on both the first and second sides of the hollow area, and the first side of the hollow area is symmetrical about the longitudinal symmetry line of the FPC with respect to the second side of the hollow area.

[0016] Optionally, the resistance detection electrode is provided on the third and fourth sides of the hollowed-out area, and the third and fourth sides of the hollowed-out area are both located on the longitudinal symmetry line of the FPC.

[0017] Optionally, if the number of hollowed-out areas is greater than 1, then at least two resistance detection negative electrode sheets are integrated together;

[0018] or,

[0019] At least two resistance sensing positive electrode plates are integrated together.

[0020] Optionally, the two electrostimulation electrode pads are respectively disposed on the first side and the second side of the hollowed-out area corresponding to the acupoint;

[0021] The first side of the hollowed-out area is symmetrical about the longitudinal line of the FPC with respect to the second side of the hollowed-out area.

[0022] Optionally, the temperature sensor may be disposed on any side of the hollowed-out area.

[0023] Optionally, the temperature sensor is disposed on the target side of the hollowed-out area, which is the side away from the resistance detection positive electrode and / or the electrical stimulation positive electrode.

[0024] Optionally, the area of ​​the electrical stimulation electrode is larger than a first preset value;

[0025] The area of ​​the resistance detection electrode is greater than the second preset value.

[0026] Optionally, the FPC includes: a substrate and two protective films; wherein:

[0027] The substrate is located between the two protective films;

[0028] The substrate includes double-sided copper foil.

[0029] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the present invention provides a multifunctional integrated sensor for clinical diagnosis and treatment of acupoint dosage.

Therefore, the multifunctional integrated sensor for clinical diagnosis and treatment of acupoint dosage provided in this application can reduce the safety risks of the sensor.

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0046] In this application, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0047] To reduce the safety risks of multifunctional integrated sensors used in clinical diagnosis and treatment of acupoint dosage, this application provides a multifunctional integrated sensor for such applications. The specific structure of this sensor can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 Specifically, it includes: an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) 10, two electrical stimulation electrodes, at least one temperature sensor, and at least two resistance sensing electrodes; the connection relationships between the components are as follows:

[0048] Each resistance sensing electrode is electrically connected to the FPC, each electrical stimulation electrode is electrically connected to the FPC, and each temperature sensor is electrically connected to the FPC; all resistance sensing electrodes and all temperature sensors are located on the first side of the FPC; two electrical stimulation electrodes are located on the second side of the FPC.

[0049] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the resistance sensing electrode 11, resistance sensing electrode 12, electrical stimulation electrode 13, electrical stimulation electrode 14, and temperature sensor 15 are all electrically connected to the FPC 10; the resistance sensing electrode 11, resistance sensing electrode 12, and temperature sensor 15 are all disposed on the front side of the FPC; the electrical stimulation electrode 13 and electrical stimulation electrode 14 are all disposed on the back side of the FPC.

[0050] For example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the resistance sensing electrode 21, resistance sensing electrode 22, electrical stimulation electrode 23, electrical stimulation electrode 24, and temperature sensor 25 are all electrically connected to the FPC 10; the resistance sensing electrode 21, resistance sensing electrode 22, and temperature sensor 25 are all located on the front side of the FPC; the electrical stimulation electrode 23 and electrical stimulation electrode 24 are all located on the back side of the FPC.

[0051] For example, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, resistance detection electrode 31, resistance detection electrode 32, resistance detection electrode 33, electrical stimulation electrode 34, electrical stimulation electrode 35, temperature sensor 36, and temperature sensor 37 are all electrically connected to FPC 10; resistance detection electrode 31, resistance detection electrode 32, resistance detection electrode 33, temperature sensor 36, and temperature sensor 37 are all located on the front side of FPC; electrical stimulation electrode 34 and electrical stimulation electrode 35 are all located on the back side of FPC.

[0052] For example, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, resistance detection electrode 41, resistance detection electrode 42, resistance detection electrode 43, resistance detection electrode 44, electrical stimulation electrode 45, electrical stimulation electrode 46, temperature sensor 47, and temperature sensor 48 are all electrically connected to FPC 10; resistance detection electrode 41, resistance detection electrode 42, resistance detection electrode 43, resistance detection electrode 44, temperature sensor 47, and temperature sensor 48 are all located on the front side of FPC; electrical stimulation electrode 45 and electrical stimulation electrode 46 are all located on the back side of FPC.

[0053] It should be noted that FPC is already a very mature technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0054] Additionally, see 9( Figure 9 Only Figure 7 , Figure 8 (This is based on a multifunctional integrated sensor for clinical diagnosis and treatment of acupoint dosage shown in the figure), and the electrical stimulation electrode pads are attached using the physiotherapy electrode pads 51.

[0055] It should be noted that the physiotherapy electrode pad 51 is already very mature in the existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0056] In this multifunctional integrated sensor for acupoint-based clinical diagnosis and treatment, since all resistance detection electrodes and all temperature sensors are located on the first side of the FPC, and the two electrostimulation electrodes are located on the second side of the FPC, i.e., the electrostimulation electrodes are not located on the same side of the FPC as the resistance detection electrodes and temperature sensors, even if the electrostimulation electrodes are attached using the physiotherapy electrode 51, the physiotherapy electrode 51 will not obstruct other components of the multifunctional integrated sensor for acupoint-based clinical diagnosis and treatment, and will not affect other functions of the multifunctional integrated sensor for acupoint-based clinical diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, the electrostimulation electrodes can be attached using the physiotherapy electrode 51. Furthermore, since the electrostimulation electrodes can be attached using the physiotherapy electrode 51, the physiotherapy electrode 51 is isolated between the electrostimulation electrodes and the skin, i.e., the skin will not directly contact the electrostimulation electrodes. Therefore, the multifunctional integrated sensor for acupoint-based clinical diagnosis and treatment provided in this application can reduce safety risks.

[0057] It is worth noting that the electrical stimulation electrode pads are attached to the physiotherapy electrode pads 51, which increases the electrical stimulation effect of the multifunctional integrated sensor used for acupoint dosage and effect clinical diagnosis and treatment, thereby achieving better treatment results.

[0058] This application provides another implementation of a multifunctional integrated sensor for clinical diagnosis and treatment applications using acupoint dosage, the specific structure of which can be found in [reference needed]. Figures 1-9 The difference between this implementation method and the above implementation method is that:

[0059] In this embodiment, at least one hollow area is provided on the FPC, which serves as the space for needle punching operations.

[0060] Optional, such as Figures 1-9 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the hollow area can be circular. In practical applications, this includes, but is not limited to, the specific shape of the hollow area. It can be determined according to the specific situation and is within the scope of protection of this application. For example, in the case of a hollow area, the cross-section is a circle with a diameter of 4mm.

[0061] In a specific example, the number of cutout areas is equal to 1, and the cutout areas are used to align with the acupoints.

[0062] For example, such as Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, a hollow area 16 is provided on the FPC, which is used to align with the acupoint.

[0063] For example, such as Figure 3 or Figure 4 As shown, a hollow area 26 is provided on the FPC, which is used to align with the acupoint.

[0064] Since the number of hollowed-out areas is equal to 1 in the first example above, and the hollowed-out areas are used to align with acupoints, the implementation shown in the first example is suitable for detecting a single acupoint, extremity, or narrow area of ​​the head and face.

[0065] In another specific example, the number of cutout areas is greater than 1, with one cutout area used to align with the acupoint and the remaining cutout areas serving as adjacent areas to the acupoint.

[0066] It should be noted that in practical applications, acupoints are generally located in a specific fixed part of the body surface or are limited to a specific area of ​​sensation under certain conditions. They have a certain regionality and can be called acupoint areas. Areas outside the acupoint areas are called lateral areas, and the therapeutic significance of lateral areas is far less than that of acupoint areas.

[0067] For example, such as Figure 5 or Figure 6 As shown, the FPC has a cutout area 38 and a cutout area 39. The cutout area 38 is used to align with the acupoint, and the cutout area 39 is used as a side area of ​​the acupoint.

[0068] For example, such as Figure 7 or Figure 8 As shown, a hollow area 49 or a hollow area 50 is provided on the FPC, wherein the hollow area 49 is used to align with the acupoint, and the hollow area 50 serves as a lateral area to the acupoint.

[0069] It should be noted that the distance between the centers of the two hollowed-out areas is determined based on traditional Chinese medicine theory and modern research literature. Under normal circumstances, the distance between the centers of the two hollowed-out areas is 15mm.

[0070] Since in the second example above, the number of hollowed-out areas is greater than 1, one of the hollowed-out areas is used to align with the acupoint, and the remaining hollowed-out areas are all used as the areas adjacent to the acupoint, the implementation method shown in the second example can detect both the acupoint and the adjacent areas at the same time. Therefore, the implementation method shown in the second example is suitable for the situation where acupoints and non-acupoints on the meridian line are detected at the same time.

[0071] In a specific example, resistance sensing electrode sheets are provided on both the first and second sides of the hollow area; wherein, the first side of the hollow area is symmetrical about the longitudinal symmetry line of the FPC with respect to the second side of the hollow area.

[0072] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, a resistance detection electrode 21 is provided on the left side of the hollow area 26, and a resistance detection electrode 22 is provided on the right side of the hollow area 26.

[0073] For example, such as Figure 7As shown, a resistance detection electrode 41 is provided on the left side of the hollow area 49, a resistance detection electrode 42 is provided on the right side of the hollow area 49, a resistance detection electrode 43 is provided on the left side of the hollow area 50, and a resistance detection electrode 44 is provided on the right side of the hollow area 50.

[0074] In another specific example, resistance detection electrode sheets are provided on the third and fourth sides of the hollowed-out area; wherein the third and fourth sides of the hollowed-out area are both located on the longitudinal symmetry line of the FPC.

[0075] Optionally, when the number of hollow areas is greater than 1, at least two resistance detection negative electrode pieces can be integrated together, or at least two resistance detection positive electrode pieces can be integrated together, or each resistance detection electrode piece can be set independently. There is no specific limitation here, and it can be determined according to the specific situation. All of these are within the protection scope of this application.

[0076] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, a resistance detection electrode 11 is provided on the upper side of the hollow area 16, and a resistance detection electrode 12 is provided on the lower side of the hollow area 16.

[0077] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, a resistance detection electrode 31 is provided on the upper side of the hollow area 38, a resistance detection electrode 32 is provided on the lower side of the hollow area 38 or the upper side of the hollow area 39, and a resistance detection electrode 33 is provided on the lower side of the hollow area 39; wherein, the resistance detection electrode 31 and the resistance detection electrode 33 are both positive resistance detection electrodes, and the resistance detection electrode 32 is integrated from two negative resistance detection electrodes.

[0078] In the first example above, the first side of the hollowed-out area is symmetrical about the longitudinal symmetry line of the FPC to the second side of the hollowed-out area. Therefore, in the first example above, the resistance sensing electrode is arranged in a horizontal layout. In the second example above, the third and fourth sides of the hollowed-out area are both located on the longitudinal symmetry line of the FPC. Therefore, in the second example above, the resistance sensing electrode is arranged in a vertical layout.

[0079] Meridians typically run vertically. Therefore, when a horizontal layout is used, the resistance detection electrode is parallel to the meridian line, making it easy to fix the multifunctional integrated sensor used for clinical diagnosis and treatment of acupoints, which is suitable for situations where acupoints are not densely packed. Alternatively, when a vertical layout is used, the resistance detection electrode is perpendicular to the meridian line, meaning the resistance detection electrode spans the meridian line. Thus, during detection, it only occupies the distance of one acupoint on the meridian line, which is suitable for situations where acupoints are densely packed.

[0080] In summary, this multifunctional integrated sensor for clinical diagnosis and treatment using acupoint dosage can adapt to various application needs under complex clinical conditions.

[0081] The two examples above only illustrate two ways of setting the resistance sensing electrode. In practical applications, there are other methods, including but not limited to these. No specific limitation is made here. The method can be determined according to the specific situation, and all are within the protection scope of this application.

[0082] In one specific example, the distance between the resistance sensing electrode and the center of the needle puncture operation space is within a first preset range.

[0083] The distance between the resistance detection electrode and the center of the acupuncture operation space is within a first preset range, indicating that the detection value of the resistance detection electrode is closer to the actual resistance value of the skin around the acupoint. In practical applications, the first preset range is determined based on traditional Chinese medicine theory and modern research literature, and is not specifically limited here. Under normal circumstances, the distance between the resistance detection electrode and the center of the acupuncture operation space is equal to 10mm.

[0084] Since the distance between the resistance detection electrode and the center of the acupuncture operation space is within the first preset range, it indicates that the detection value of the resistance detection electrode is closer to the actual resistance value of the skin around the acupoint. Therefore, the implementation shown in the above example is regarded as the preferred implementation.

[0085] The above example only illustrates one implementation of the distance between the resistance detection electrode and the acupuncture operation space. In practical applications, it includes, but is not limited to, the following: for example, the distance between the resistance detection electrode and the center of the acupuncture operation space exceeds the first preset range. This is not specifically limited here and can be determined according to the specific situation, all of which are within the protection scope of this application.

[0086] In a specific example, two electrical stimulation electrode pads are respectively placed on the first and second sides of the hollow area corresponding to the acupoint; wherein, the first side of the hollow area is symmetrical about the longitudinal symmetry line of the FPC with respect to the second side of the hollow area.

[0087] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, an electrical stimulation electrode 13 is provided on the left side of the hollow area 16, and an electrical stimulation electrode 14 is provided on the right side of the hollow area 16.

[0088] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, an electrical stimulation electrode 23 is provided on the left side of the hollow area 26, and an electrical stimulation electrode 24 is provided on the right side of the hollow area 26.

[0089] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, an electrical stimulation electrode 34 is provided on the left side of the hollow area 39, and an electrical stimulation electrode 35 is provided on the right side of the hollow area 39.

[0090] For example, such as Figure 8 As shown, an electrical stimulation electrode 45 is provided on the left side of the hollow area 49, and an electrical stimulation electrode 46 is provided on the right side of the hollow area 39.

[0091] It should be noted that the distance between the two electrical stimulation electrodes is determined based on traditional Chinese medicine theory and modern research literature. Under normal circumstances, the distance between the two electrical stimulation electrodes is 10mm.

[0092] The above example only illustrates one way of setting up the electrical stimulation electrode pads. In practical applications, there are other methods, including but not limited to this one. No specific limitation is made here, and the method can be determined according to the specific circumstances. All of these are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0093] In one specific example, a temperature sensor is placed on either side of the cutout area.

[0094] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, a temperature sensor 15 is provided on the upper side of the hollow area 16.

[0095] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, a temperature sensor 25 is provided on the upper side of the hollow area 26.

[0096] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, a temperature sensor 36 and a temperature sensor 37 are provided on the upper side of the hollow area 38.

[0097] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, a temperature sensor 47 is provided on the upper side of the hollow area 49, and a temperature sensor 48 is provided on the upper side of the hollow area 50.

[0098] Optionally, the temperature sensor can be set on the target side of the hollowed-out area, wherein the target side of the hollowed-out area is the side with the resistance detection negative electrode and / or the electrical stimulation positive electrode; in practical applications, this is not limited to, but is determined according to the specific situation, and all are within the protection scope of this application.

[0099] Since placing the temperature sensor on the target side of the hollowed-out area can avoid the influence of the current of the electrical stimulation positive electrode and / or the resistance detection positive electrode on the skin temperature, the temperature measurement accuracy of the temperature sensor is improved to a certain extent. Therefore, placing the temperature sensor on the target side of the hollowed-out area is a preferred embodiment.

[0100] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the temperature sensor 15 is disposed between the hollow area 16 and the resistance detection electrode 11; wherein, the resistance detection electrode 11 is the negative electrode for resistance detection.

[0101] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the temperature sensor 37 is disposed between the hollow area 39 and the resistance detection electrode 32; wherein, the resistance detection electrode 32 is the negative electrode for resistance detection.

[0102] The above example only illustrates one way to set up a temperature sensor. In practical applications, there are other methods, including but not limited to this one. No specific limitation is made here, and the method can be determined according to the specific circumstances. All of these are within the protection scope of this application.

[0103] In one specific example, the distance between the temperature sensor and the center of the needle puncture operation space is within a second preset range.

[0104] The distance between the temperature sensor and the center of the acupuncture operation space is within a second preset range, indicating that the temperature sensor's detection value is closer to the actual temperature of the skin around the acupoint. In practical applications, the second preset range is determined based on traditional Chinese medicine theory and modern research literature, and is not specifically limited here. Under normal circumstances, the distance between the temperature sensor and the center of the acupuncture operation space is equal to 3mm.

[0105] Since the distance between the temperature sensor and the center of the acupuncture operation space is within the second preset range, it indicates that the detected value of the temperature sensor is closer to the actual temperature of the skin around the acupoint. Therefore, the implementation shown in the above example is regarded as the preferred implementation.

[0106] The above example only illustrates one implementation of the distance between the temperature sensor and the acupuncture operation space. In practical applications, it includes, but is not limited to, the following: for example, the distance between the temperature sensor and the center of the acupuncture operation space exceeds the second preset range. This is not specifically limited here and can be determined according to the specific situation, all of which are within the protection scope of this application.

[0107] This embodiment also provides another implementation of a multifunctional integrated sensor for clinical diagnosis and treatment using acupoint dosage. The structure of this implementation is basically the same as the above implementation, except that:

[0108] In this embodiment, the area of ​​the electrical stimulation electrode is greater than a first preset value, and the area of ​​the resistance detection electrode is greater than a second preset value.

[0109] The fact that the area of ​​the electrical stimulation electrode is greater than the first preset value indicates that the area of ​​the electrical stimulation electrode is relatively large, and the fact that the area of ​​the resistance detection electrode is greater than the second preset value indicates that the area of ​​the electrical stimulation electrode is relatively large. In practical applications, the first and second preset values ​​are set according to the actual situation and are not specifically limited here. For example, the resistance detection electrode is an ellipse of 10×5mm and the electrical stimulation electrode is an ellipse of 12×6mm.

[0110] This embodiment also provides another implementation of a multifunctional integrated sensor for clinical diagnosis and treatment using acupoint dosage. The structure of this implementation is basically the same as the above implementation, except that:

[0111] In this embodiment, the FPC includes a substrate and two protective films, with the substrate between the two protective films; and the substrate includes double-sided copper foil.

[0112] It should be noted that the protective film and the substrate, including the double-sided copper foil, are already very mature technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0113] Compared to existing FPCs, the FPC in this embodiment removes the reinforcing layers such as the mesh copper film. Since the thickness of the reinforcing layers is relatively large, the depth of the windows is greatly reduced after removal, thus largely avoiding the depression phenomenon caused by opening windows at the pad positions. In addition, if the area of ​​the resistance sensing electrode is large at this time, the closed space formed between the skin and the copper foil in the FPC can be compressed to a minimum, thereby reducing the impact on resistance sensing.

[0114] The above are only three implementation methods of the multifunctional integrated sensor for clinical diagnosis and treatment of acupoint dosage. In practical applications, no specific limitation is made here, and the method can be determined according to the specific situation. All of them are within the protection scope of this application.

[0115] Another embodiment of this application provides an acupoint diagnosis and treatment device, the specific structure of which is as follows: Figure 10 As shown, it specifically includes: a first controller 100, a resistance detection module 200, a temperature detection module 300, an electroacupuncture therapy module 400, and a multifunctional integrated sensor 500 for clinical diagnosis and treatment of acupoint dosage as provided in the above embodiment; the connection relationship between each device is as follows:

[0116] The resistance detection module 200 is electrically connected to each resistance detection electrode in the multifunctional integrated sensor 500 for clinical diagnosis and treatment of acupoint dosage via the FPC; the temperature detection module 300 is electrically connected to each temperature sensor in the multifunctional integrated sensor 500 for clinical diagnosis and treatment of acupoint dosage via the FPC; the electroacupuncture therapy module 400 is electrically connected to each electrical stimulation electrode in the multifunctional integrated sensor 500 for clinical diagnosis and treatment of acupoint dosage via the FPC; the resistance detection module 200, the temperature detection module 300, and the electroacupuncture therapy module 400 are all connected to the first controller 100.

[0117] See a specific example. Figure 11 ( Figure 11 In China only Figure 1 Based on the multifunctional integrated sensor shown for acupoint dose-effect clinical diagnosis and treatment applications, taking a resistance detection circuit 210 as an example, the resistance detection module 200 includes at least one resistance detection circuit 210; the resistance detection circuit 210 includes: a first digital-to-analog conversion module 211, a first power supply 212, a first follower 213, an attenuator 214, a first filter 215, a second follower 216, and a first analog-to-digital conversion module 217; the specific connection relationship between the components is as follows:

[0118] The output terminal of the first controller 100 is connected to the input terminal of the first digital-to-analog converter module 211. The output terminal of the first digital-to-analog converter module 211 is connected to the control terminal of the first power supply 212. The two poles of the first power supply 212 are connected to two resistance detection electrode plates respectively through FPC.

[0119] For example, such as Figure 11 As shown, the two poles of the first power supply 212 are connected to the resistance detection electrode 11 and the resistance detection electrode 12 respectively through the FPC.

[0120] The two terminals of the input of the first follower 213 are connected to two resistance sensing electrodes, for example, as shown. Figure 11 As shown, the two poles of the input terminal of the first follower 213 are connected to the resistance detection electrode 11 and the resistance detection electrode 12, respectively.

[0121] The output of the first follower 213 is connected to the input of the attenuator 214. The output of the attenuator 214 is connected to the input of the first filter 215. The output of the first filter 215 is connected to the input of the second follower 216. The output of the second follower 216 is connected to the input of the first analog-to-digital converter 217. The output of the first analog-to-digital converter 217 is connected to the input of the first controller 100.

[0122] The first follower 213 is used to track the voltage of the two resistive sensing electrodes and converts the detected voltage into the input range of the first analog-to-digital converter 217 through the attenuator 214; the first filter 215 is used to filter out interference and noise.

[0123] When resistance detection is performed, the first controller 100 controls the first power supply 212 to continuously output circuit excitation. At this time, the first power supply 212 forms a circuit with the skin through two resistance detection electrode plates. Then, the first follower 213 detects the voltage between the two resistance detection electrode plates and uploads it to the first controller 100 through the attenuator 214, the first filter 215, the second follower 216, and the first analog-to-digital conversion module 217.

[0124] The first controller 100 calculates the resistance between the two resistance detection electrodes, i.e., the resistance of the skin surrounding the acupoint, according to the following formula:

[0125]

[0126]

[0127] Where I is the output value of the first analog-to-digital converter module 217, which is a digital quantity; 4096 is the maximum value of the first analog-to-digital converter module 217; 3.3V is the supply voltage of the first power supply; Y is the detection voltage value of the first analog-to-digital converter module 217, which is an analog quantity; 10 6 Ω is the average reference resistance value for dry skin.

[0128] When performing frequency sweep, the first controller 100 controls the first power supply 212 to output different circuit excitations in turn. For example, it can output in turn in order of voltage value from small to large, or in turn in order of voltage value from large to small. Then, the first controller 100 detects the voltage between the two resistor detection electrode plates under different circuit excitations through the first follower 213.

[0129] It should be noted that the first digital-to-analog converter module 211, the first power supply 212, the first follower 213, the attenuator 214, the first filter 215, the second follower 216, and the first analog-to-digital converter module 217 are all very mature in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here; in addition, both followers adopt a following method with high input impedance and low input current.

[0130] The above example only illustrates one specific implementation of the resistance detection module 200. In practical applications, it includes, but is not limited to, this example. It is not specifically limited here and can be determined according to the specific circumstances. All of these are within the protection scope of this application.

[0131] See a specific example. Figure 12 ( Figure 12 Only Figure 1 (Based on the multifunctional integrated sensor shown for clinical diagnosis and treatment of acupoint dosage, the temperature detection module 300 includes: a second analog-to-digital conversion module 310, an operational amplifier circuit 320, a second filter 330, a third filter 340, and a second power supply 350; the specific connection relationships between the components are as follows:)

[0132] The output terminal of the second power supply 350 is connected to the power supply terminal of the operational amplifier circuit 320. The output terminal of the second power supply 350 is also connected to the power supply terminal of each temperature sensor through the second filter 330. The output terminal of each temperature sensor is connected to the input terminal of the first controller 100 through FPC 10, the third filter 340, the operational amplifier circuit 320, and the second analog-to-digital converter module 310.

[0133] For example, such as Figure 12 As shown, the output terminal of the second power supply 350 is connected to the power supply terminal of the temperature sensor 15 through the second filter 330, and the output terminal of the temperature sensor 15 is connected to the input terminal of the first controller 100 through the third filter 340, the operational amplifier circuit 320, and the second analog-to-digital converter module 310.

[0134] It should be noted that the supply voltage of the second power supply 350 is set according to the actual situation. Under normal circumstances, the supply voltage of the second power supply 350 is 3.3V.

[0135] After providing a stable power supply to the temperature sensor, the temperature sensor generates an analog voltage signal based on the currently detected temperature value. This voltage signal passes through the third filter 340 and the operational amplifier circuit 320, and then reaches the second analog-to-digital converter module 310. After being converted into a digital signal by the second analog-to-digital converter module 310, it is input to the first controller 100. The first controller 100 can obtain the temperature of the skin around the acupoint by calculating the received digital signal.

[0136] It should be noted that the second analog-to-digital converter module 310, operational amplifier circuit 320, second filter 330, third filter 340 and second power supply 350 are all very mature in the prior art, and their specific structures will not be described in detail here.

[0139] The power supply terminal of the power amplifier circuit 430 is connected to the output terminal of the third power supply 420, and the output terminal of the power amplifier circuit 430 is connected to two electrical stimulation electrode plates through the impedance circuit 440 and FPC 10 respectively.

[0140] For example, such as Figure 13 As shown, the output terminal of the power amplifier circuit 430 is connected to the electrical stimulation electrode 13 and the electrical stimulation electrode 14 through the impedance circuit 440 and the FPC 10, respectively.

[0141] The input terminal of the power amplifier circuit 430 is connected to the output terminal of the first controller 100 through the second digital-to-analog converter module 410; the power supply terminal of the second digital-to-analog converter module 410 is connected to the output terminal of the third power supply 420.

[0142] The first controller 100 generates a target waveform for electroacupuncture treatment, such as a mixed waveform including a triangular wave and a sawtooth wave, through the second digital-to-analog converter module 410, and inputs the waveform signal into the power amplifier circuit 430 to obtain a target waveform with target voltage and power. Then, the impedance circuit 440 performs impedance matching on the target signal, and finally, the target waveform is applied to the corresponding acupoints through the electrical stimulation electrode to achieve the effect of electroacupuncture treatment.

[0143] It should be noted that the second digital-to-analog conversion module 410, the third power supply 420, the power amplifier circuit 430, and the impedance circuit 440 are all very mature in the prior art, and their specific structures will not be described in detail here.

[0147] The first controller 100 in each acupoint diagnosis and treatment device 700 is communicatively connected to the second controller 600.

[0148] For example, the second controller 600 communicates with the first controller 100 via a serial port at a baud rate of 9600bps. The second controller 600 sends scan time, start signal, stop signal light control parameters or signals to the first controller 100, and also obtains the detected data from the first controller 100. When the resistance detection module 200 performs frequency sweep, the second controller 600 obtains the detected data during frequency sweep through the first controller 100, and plots the voltage-current curve based on this data, and records and analyzes it.
