Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a rapid cleaning and disinfection device for cupping devices. Background Technology

[0002] Cupping is an external therapy that can promote blood circulation, relieve swelling and pain, and dispel wind and cold. It is often used for wind-cold-dampness syndrome, shoulder, back, waist and leg pain, joint pain, soft tissue injury, etc. It also has good effects on colds, coughs, lumbar disc herniation, cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, stomach pain, vomiting, abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea, diarrhea, stroke and other diseases.

[0003] The main instrument used in cupping is the cup, which can be categorized by material, such as glass cups, bamboo cups, ceramic cups, and suction cups, with glass cups being the most common. (See the instruction manual for details.) Figure 1 As shown, this is a commonly used cupping device 6. The cupping device 6 is made of glass and has a hollow spherical body with an opening at the bottom. The opening also has an outwardly extending edge 61. The edge 61 increases the contact area between the cupping device 6 and the skin, enhancing the seal and facilitating stable placement on a flat surface. Because cupping requires negative pressure to adhere to the skin surface, blood secretions, sweat, etc., will adhere to the cupping jar, especially the inside of long-used cupping jars, which are often blackened. To ensure cleanliness and hygiene and prevent cross-infection and virus transmission, the cupping device must be cleaned and disinfected after each use. Current technology primarily relies on the user wiping the cupping device with a cloth for cleaning, while disinfection involves boiling. Due to the high temperature of boiling, wiping cannot be done simultaneously, making the cleaning and disinfection process difficult to complete quickly. Therefore, to address these issues, we propose a rapid cleaning and disinfection device for cupping devices. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0038] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Reference Figures 2-7 As shown, this embodiment of a cupping device for rapid cleaning and disinfection (also known as a cupping device for rapid cleaning and disinfection tool) includes a carrier 1, a fixed clamp 2, a movable clamp 3, an outer cleaning component 4, and an inner cleaning component 5.

[0040] In the embodiment, the carrier 1 is the framework of the whole device, which comprises a shell 11, slide rods 12 arranged side by side on the upper side of the shell 11, and a handle 13 arranged on the rear upper side of the shell 11.

[0044] Specifically, the first sliding part 31 is provided with slide rod holes on the left and right sides. The first sliding part 31 is slidably connected to the two slide rods 12 through the slide rod holes on the left and right sides. In addition, in the embodiment, the roller shadow of the roller 22 projected on a horizontal plane from top to bottom protrudes from the carrier shadow of the carrier 1 projected on a horizontal plane from top to bottom. Such arrangement enables the roller 22 to contact other objects before the carrier 1, so as to facilitate the rolling of the roller 22 on a plane.

[0045] In the embodiment, the outer cleaning part 4 is arranged on the upper side of the carrier 1 for scrubbing the outer side of the cupping device 6. The outer cleaning part 4 comprises a bracket 41 and an outer scrubbing part 42 arranged on one side of the bracket 41. The shape of the outer scrubbing part 42 matches the shape of the outer side of the cupping device 6.

[0046] In the embodiment, the inner cleaning part 5 comprises a second sliding part 51 slidably arranged on the upper side of the carrier 1 and an inner scrubbing part 52 arranged on the second sliding part 51 for scrubbing the inner side of the cupping device 6.

[0047] Specifically, the inner cleaning member 5 further comprises a second rotating shaft 53 and a driven gear 54, the second rotating shaft 53 is in damping rotating connection with the second sliding member 51, and the inner wiping member 52 and the driven gear 54 are coaxially fixedly connected with the second rotating shaft 53. The second sliding member 51 is provided with sliding rod holes on the left and right sides, and the second sliding member 51 is in front and back sliding connection with the two sliding rods 12 through the sliding rod holes on the left and right sides. The second rotating shaft 53 penetrates the second sliding member 51 downward and extends into the shell 11, and the driven gear 54 is located in the shell 11. The shell 11 is provided with a second rotating shaft sliding groove 111 for sliding of the second rotating shaft 53. The shape of the inner wiping member 52 matches the shape of the inner side of the cupping device 6.

[0048] In the embodiment, the outer wiping member 42 and the inner wiping member 52 are both flexible materials, specifically, sponges.

[0049] In the embodiment, the movable clamping member 3 further comprises a first elastic member 33 arranged between the first sliding member 31 and the carrier 1 and used for pushing the first sliding member 31 forward, the inner cleaning member 5 further comprises a second elastic member 55 arranged between the second sliding member 51 and the carrier 1 and used for pushing the second sliding member 51 backward, the inner cleaning member 5 further comprises a third elastic member 56 arranged between the second sliding member 51 and the first sliding member 31, the elastic force of the first elastic member 33 is greater than the sum of the elastic forces of the second elastic member 55 and the third elastic member 56, the number of the first elastic member 33, the second elastic member 55 and the third elastic member 56 is both two, and they are all spiral springs and are respectively sleeved on the two sliding rods 12, the first elastic member 33 is located between the rear connecting boss 121 and the first sliding member 31, and the second elastic member 55 is located between the front connecting boss 121 and the second sliding member 51.

[0050] In the initial state, the first elastic member 33 will push the first sliding member 31 forward under the action of its own elastic force in cooperation with the rear connecting boss 121, the first sliding member 31 will abut against the third elastic member 56 when sliding forward, and the second sliding member 51 will be pushed forward by the third elastic member 56, until the inner wiping member 52 is pushed forward to abut against the outer wiping member 42 by the second rotating shaft 53, in this state, the third elastic member 56 will be in a compressed state under the pushing action of the first elastic member 33, and similarly, the front end of the second elastic member 55 will abut against the front connecting boss 121 to keep compression. In addition, in this state, the driven gear 54 will engage with the driving gear 24.

[0051] In this embodiment, the movable clamping member 3 further comprises a pushing member 34 arranged at the rear side of the first sliding member 31. The pushing member 34 is shaped like an inverted "L" and has a recess at its upper end for the thumb to extend into. In this way, the user can easily push the pushing member 34 forward and backward with the thumb to control the first sliding member 31 to slide forward and backward. In addition, the handle 13 is shaped like an inverted "U" and its length direction is parallel to the sliding direction of the first sliding member 31. In this way, the user can easily insert the four fingers except the thumb into the handle 13 to hold the handle 13, so that the user can control the movable clamping member 3 to move forward and backward while holding the carrier 1 with one hand.

[0052] When the cupping device 6 is cleaned and disinfected, the user holds the handle 13 with one hand and then pushes the movable clamp 3 backward against the elastic force of the first elastic member 33, so that the two movable wheels 32 are away from the two fixed wheels 21 to make room for the outer edge 61 to enter. In this state, the second elastic member 55 will be pushed backward by the front connecting boss 121 to cooperate with the second sliding member 51 under the action of its own elastic force, so that the inner cleaning member 52 is located between the two fixed wheels 21 for subsequent cupping device 6 to be set outside the inner cleaning member 52. Similarly, the third elastic member 56 will abut against the first sliding member 31 under the action of its own elastic force, so that the inner cleaning member 52 is located between the two movable wheels 32 for subsequent cupping device 6 to be set outside the inner cleaning member 52. After the above operation is completed, the cupping device 6 is set outside the inner cleaning member 52 until the lower end of the cupping device 6 abuts against the upper end of the second sliding member 51. In this way, the inner cleaning member 52 will abut against the inner wall of the cupping device 6 under the action of its own elastic force. Then the movable clamp 3 is released, and at this time the first elastic member 33 will rebound to push the first sliding member 31 to slide forward, so that the two movable wheels 32 on the first sliding member 31 abut against the rear side wall of the cupping device 6. In this way, the cupping device 6 is also pushed forward to slide together with the inner cleaning member 5 until the front side wall of the cupping device 6 abuts against the two fixed wheels 21. In this state, the fixed wheels 21 and the movable wheels 32 are located on the upper side of the outer edge 61 to limit the cupping device 6 from being separated from the inner cleaning member 52. At this time, the cupping device 6 is rotationally limited between the fixed clamp 2 and the movable clamp 3. In this state, the front side of the cupping device 6 will elastically abut against the outer cleaning member 42. In addition, the driven gear 54 in this state cannot be engaged with the driving gear 24 under the limiting action of the cupping device 6. After the above installation operation is completed, the user can hold the handle 13 to control the roller 22 and the cupping device 6 to extend into the boiling water, and make the roller 22 abut against the bottom of the water pot in the vertical direction. Then the user pushes the carrier 1 back and forth to control the roller 22 to rotate back and forth under the friction action of the bottom of the water pot. When the roller 22 rotates, it will drive the left fixed wheel 21 to rotate through the first rotating shaft 23. This process will drive the cupping device 6 to rotate. Since the outer cleaning member 42 is fixed in position, and the inner cleaning member 52 is connected to the second sliding member 51 through the second rotating shaft 53 and the second sliding member 51, the cupping device 6 cannot drive the inner cleaning member 52 to rotate. Therefore, the cupping device 6 will rotate relative to the outer cleaning member 42 and the inner cleaning member 52. In this process, the inner cleaning member 52 and the cupping device 6 will repeatedly clean the inner and outer sides of the cupping device 6, respectively. Since the cupping device 6 is directly immersed in boiling water, it can also be disinfected during the cleaning process. In this way, the cleaning and disinfection processes are carried out simultaneously to quickly complete the cleaning and disinfection of the cupping device 6, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0053] When the inner and outer wipers 52 and 42 need to be cleaned, the cleaning and disinfecting device is kept in the initial state as described above, i.e. the natural state of the cleaning and disinfecting device without the cupping device 6 installed. In this state, the user holds the handle 13 and controls the roller 22, the outer wiper 42 and the inner wiper 52 to be inserted into boiling water. Then the user pushes the carrier 1 back and forth to control the roller 22 to rotate back and forth by the friction of the bottom of the kettle. When the roller 22 rotates, the driving gear 24 is driven to rotate by the first rotating shaft 23. Since the driven gear 54 is engaged with the driving gear 24 in this state, the driving gear 24 drives the driven gear 54 to rotate. When the driven gear 54 rotates, the inner wiper 52 is driven to rotate by the second rotating shaft 53. Since the inner wiper 52 is in elastic abutment with the outer wiper 42 in this state, the outer wiper 42 and the inner wiper 52 are rubbed against each other. In this way, the inner wiper 52 and the outer wiper 42 can be quickly cleaned and disinfected.

[0054] It is worth mentioning that the container containing boiling water is not limited, and the cleaning can also be directly used under the flushing of liquid. In addition, the liquid participating in cleaning can also be other normal temperature / high temperature cleaning liquid or disinfectant, such as alcohol.

[0055] In summary, compared with the prior art, the cleaning and disinfecting device can quickly clean and disinfect the inner and outer sides of the cupping device, quickly clean and disinfect the inner and outer wipers, is easy to operate, does not consume electric energy during the cleaning process, has low production and use costs, and is conducive to market promotion and use.

[0056] The above embodiments only exemplarily illustrate the principles and effects of the present application, and are not used to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical thought of the present application should be covered by the claims of the present application.
