Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to an electronic pulse acupuncture head. Background Art
[0002] Electronic acupuncture is different from traditional acupuncture. Electronic acupuncture stimulates acupoints through audio pulses. It is also different from ordinary electroacupuncture. It does not use silver needles, does not pierce the skin, and has no trauma or side effects. It abandons the shortcomings of traditional acupuncture and inherits and carries forward the advantages of traditional acupuncture.
[0003] When the existing electronic needle pulse acupuncture head contacts the patient, a rubber ball is used for exhaust, so that the acupuncture device is negatively pressured and adsorbed near the patient's acupuncture position, and the internal low-pressure tank is negatively pressured and adsorbed near the acupuncture position, which is convenient for subsequent electronic acupuncture. In this way, the use of negative pressure to fix the acupuncture device cannot control the acupuncture device to move up and down in a small range, and cannot form pressure on the patient's acupoints, which reduces the effect of electronic acupuncture on the patient. When the patient feels uncomfortable and moves his body, especially when electronic acupuncture is performed on the patient's knee, the patient is prone to flexing and extending the knee when feeling uncomfortable, which makes it easy for the patient's knee to over-contact the acupuncture head, affecting the patient's acupuncture experience and damaging the electronic needle; and the acupuncture head is confined in the acupuncture device and the tank, and cannot adapt to different acupuncture tools, reducing the adaptability of different acupuncture; and the structure is relatively fixed, and cannot be adjusted flexibly and quickly, and cannot adapt to the treatment needs of different patients.

[0023] 4.

The arc-shaped push plate 23 and the adjacent ends of the first spring 27 are fixedly connected to a third clamping plate 24, and the inner sides of the two third clamping plates 24 are fixedly connected to third rubber pads 25, and the opposite sides of the two third rubber pads 25 are clamped and matched with the outer side of the fixing rod 16.
[0043] Two elastic telescopic rods 26 are installed in the fixing ring 7, and the two elastic telescopic rods 26 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the first spring 27. An arc groove is provided on the outer side of the third clamping plate 24 connected to the first spring 27. The two elastic telescopic rods 26 slide away from one end of the fixing ring 7 and are rotatably connected in the arc groove.
[0044] The hollow telescopic rod 22 and the elastic telescopic rod 26 both adopt existing elastically telescopic pipe fittings, including a cylinder, a rod body sealingly and slidably connected in the cylinder, and a restoring spring fixedly connected between the cylinder and the rod body.
[0045] A gear assembly is connected to a spiral locking device 9, an exhaust valve 21 is installed at the input end of the push assembly, and the end of the gear assembly away from the spiral locking device 9 is connected to the rotating end of the exhaust valve 21. The gear assembly is used to drive the exhaust valve 21 to rotate and open when the spiral locking device 9 loosens and rotates.
[0046] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 8 The gear assembly includes a first gear 13, which is detachably coaxially mounted on the spiral locking device 9, the first gear 13 is meshed with a second gear 14, the second gear 14 is rotatably connected to the second clamping plate 3, the second gear 14 is coaxially fixedly connected to a transmission shaft, the transmission shaft is coaxially fixedly connected to a first bevel gear 19 at one end away from the second gear 14, the first bevel gear 19 is meshed with a second bevel gear 20, and the second bevel gear 20 is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating end of the exhaust valve 21.
[0047] The thickness of the second gear 14 is greater than that of the first gear 13 , and when the first gear 13 rotates with the spiral locking device 9 , the first gear 13 and the second gear 14 are kept in mesh with each other.
[0048] Connecting piece: a plurality of connecting pieces are slidably connected to the hollow arc-shaped plate 1, and an acupuncture head is slidably connected to the connecting piece.
[0049] Reference Figure 6 and Fig.10 A plurality of sliding grooves are coaxially penetrated on the hollow arc plate 1, and the connecting piece includes a first slider 29 and a second slider 30. The first slider 29 and the second slider 30 are slidably connected on both sides of the same sliding groove, and are slidably connected with the same acupuncture head, and the acupuncture head passes through the sliding groove. The first slider 29 and the second slider 30 are both threadedly connected with locking bolts, and the ends of the locking bolts abut against the hollow arc plate 1 when the locking bolts are rotated and locked.
[0050] The second slider 30 is located outside the hollow arc plate 1, and a fastener 28 is fixedly connected to the outside of the second slider 30. When the fastener 28 is working, its end rests on the acupuncture head, and a limiting plate 31 is fixedly connected to the acupuncture head. The width of the limiting plate 31 is greater than the width of the sliding groove, and it slides with the inside of the hollow arc plate 1. A second spring 32 is fixedly connected between the limiting plate 31 and the inner wall of the hollow arc plate 1.
[0051] The fastener 28 adopts the existing elastic locking part, including a fastening block, an extrusion block that is slidably connected to the fastening block, and a fastening spring is fixedly connected between the extrusion block and the fastening block. The extrusion block is pulled to separate from the acupuncture head, and the acupuncture head can be slid. The extrusion block is loosened, and under the elastic force of the fastening spring, the extrusion block is squeezed on the acupuncture head to form an extrusion fixation.
[0052] Reference Figure 7 and Fig.11 The acupuncture head includes a shell 8, which is slidably matched with a first slider 29 and a second slider 30. When the fastener 28 is working, its end is against the shell 8. The shell 8 is connected to a first rubber ball 6 at one end away from the knee, and the other end is connected to a suction cup 18. The first rubber ball 6 is used to control the suction cup 18 to adsorb and release the adsorption of the knee by deflating and inflating. A cross fixing frame 17 is fixedly connected in the shell 8, and an electronic needle 33 is fixedly connected to the cross fixing frame 17. The input end of the electronic needle 33 is electrically connected to a terminal 35. The electronic needle 33 is electrically connected to an external electronic pulse acupuncture instrument through the terminal 35 and a wire. A contact pad 34 is fixedly connected to the peripheral side of the working end of the electronic needle 33, and the contact pad 34 is in compression contact with the patient's knee.
[0053] The curvature and elasticity of the plurality of suction cups 18 and the contact pad 34 corresponding to the middle of the knee are smaller than the curvature and elasticity of the plurality of suction cups 18 and the contact pad 34 corresponding to the periphery of the knee.
[0054] The first rubber ball 6 and the second rubber ball 10 are existing inflatable balls for inflation and deflation.
[0055] A hot air device 4 is installed on the hollow arc plate 1, and the output end of the hot air device 4 is connected to the second air pipe 15, and the second air pipe 15 is connected to multiple exhaust pipes. The multiple exhaust pipes are away from one end of the second air pipe 15 and the end of the second air pipe 15 away from the hot air device 4 both pass through the hollow arc plate 1, and the output direction points to the patient's knee.
[0056] In the present invention, before acupuncture, the doctor or therapist needs to inquire about the patient's medical history in detail, check the patient's knee condition, and determine the appropriate knee bending angle according to the patient's specific condition;
[0057] After determining the bending angle of the knee, the two first clamping plates 2 are fixed to the two sides of the patient's thighs with elastic bands, and the two second clamping plates 3 are fixed to the two sides of the patient's calves. The thickness of the first rubber pad 5 is greater than the thickness of the second rubber pad 12. The soft rubber material can reduce the direct pressure of the clamping plate on the leg, making the patient feel more comfortable when receiving the clamping. It can also effectively prevent the leg from sliding or falling off during the clamping process, ensuring the stability and safety of the clamping. In addition, the rubber pads of different thicknesses can ensure that the thickness of the entire clamping area is uniform, thereby avoiding additional gaps caused by overlapping, making the clamping tighter and smoother.
[0058] After adjusting the position, rotate the plurality of spiral locking devices 9 to fix the first clamping plate 2 and the second clamping plate 3 together;
[0059] After the position is fixed, the fixing rod 16 on the hollow arc plate 1 is placed between the two third clamping plates 24 in the fixing ring 7, and the angle of the fixing rod 16 is adjusted so that the hollow arc plate 1 is located above the knee area where acupuncture is required for the patient;
[0060] At this time, the doctor presses the second rubber ball 10 to inflate the cylinder of the hollow telescopic rod 22 through the first air supply pipe 11, overcoming the restoring spring to push the rod body, and when the rod body is extended, it pushes the arc-shaped push plate 23, and then pushes the third clamping plate 24 to move, and cooperates with another third clamping plate 24 on the first spring 27 to squeeze and fix the fixing rod 16, completing the preliminary fixation of the hollow arc plate 1, so that the entire device is preliminarily installed;
[0061] When the third clamping plate 24 on the first spring 27 moves, the two elastic telescopic rods 26 support the third clamping plate 24 under the action of the restoring spring therein, thereby improving the clamping stability; the first spring 27 is compressed and generates a rebound force, which firmly clamps the fixed rod 16 at a predetermined position. Under the elastic deformation of the first spring 27, it can adapt to workpieces of different sizes and shapes;
[0062] The design of the hollow arc plate 1 can fit the curvature of the knee more closely, so that the acupuncture head can act on the target acupuncture point accurately and vertically, thereby improving the accuracy and treatment effect of acupuncture. In addition, the acupuncture head vertically contacts the skin, which can also reduce the discomfort caused by angle deviation, making the treatment process more comfortable.
[0063] In addition, this easy-to-disassemble and install design allows the acupuncture tools to be quickly adjusted during use to suit the treatment needs of different patients.
[0064] After the entire device is preliminarily installed, the first slider 29 and the second slider 30 on the hollow arc plate 1 are moved according to the acupuncture points on the patient's knee. The first slider 29 and the second slider 30 slide and drive the acupuncture head to move above the target acupuncture point, and then the locking bolt is rotated to make the end of the locking bolt abut against the hollow arc plate 1, and the first slider 29 and the second slider 30 are locked;
[0065] By fixing the first slider 29 and the second slider 30 on the hollow arc-shaped plate 1 from the upper and lower directions, the motion trajectory and position of the acupuncture head can be more accurately controlled, and the error caused by the offset or looseness of a single slider can be reduced. Even if one of the sliders fails or is damaged, the other slider can still continue to work, thereby improving the reliability and fault tolerance of the entire system;
[0066] After the position of the acupuncture head is determined, the lock of the acupuncture head by the fastener 28 is released, and the entire acupuncture head is pressed downward, and the contact pad 34 stops after touching the target acupuncture point, and then the fastener 28 is locked to fix the acupuncture head;
[0067] When the acupuncture head moves, the limit plate 31 can ensure that the acupuncture head does not separate from the hollow arc plate 1, and the second spring 32 can absorb part of the impact force of the patient's leg shaking during acupuncture;
[0068] Repeating the above operation can move multiple acupuncture heads to different acupuncture points on the knee, which is convenient for subsequent simultaneous acupuncture. For patients with multiple diseases or symptoms in the knee area, the simultaneous action of multiple acupuncture heads can achieve comprehensive conditioning of multiple pathogenesis and symptoms, meeting the treatment needs of complex diseases.
[0069] At this time, the second rubber ball 10 is pressed again, and air is inflated into the hollow telescopic rod 22 through the first air delivery pipe 11. The hollow telescopic rod 22 pushes the arc push plate 23, and the hollow arc plate 1 is further squeezed downward through the third clamping plate 24, so that the hollow arc plate 1 is close to the knee again, and an appropriate pre-tightening force is applied to cause a certain compression deformation between the contact pad 34 and the skin, thereby improving the fit. At this time, the first rubber ball 6 is pressed again, and the housing 8 is fixed on the skin through the suction cup 18;
[0070] The contact pad 34 located in the middle of the shell 8 is first compressed and deformed, which can ensure a closer contact with the knee and reduce or eliminate the gap. This close contact provides a better sealing basis for the subsequent adsorption of the suction cups 18 around it, so that the negative pressure area can be formed more effectively, thereby improving the overall adsorption force;
[0071] Since the middle part of the knee is a relatively flat area, while the curvature around the knee varies greatly, the curvature and elasticity of the suction cup 18 and the contact pad 34 around the knee are greater than those in the middle of the knee, so as to adapt to the dramatic curvature changes around the knee.
[0072] After the whole device is fixed, the electronic needle 33 can be connected to the external electronic pulse acupuncture instrument through the terminal 35 and the wire on the shell 8 to perform acupuncture on the knee;
[0073] When performing squeeze acupuncture, the doctor can inflate and deflate the second rubber ball 10 by pressing and releasing it, so that the entire hollow arc plate 1 moves up and down in a small range, thereby driving the contact pad 34 to press the acupuncture points. The electronic needle 33, i.e., the electronic pulse acupuncture head, stimulates the acupuncture points and nerve endings around the knee by emitting electric pulses. In the process of squeezing up and down, this stimulation can be enhanced, so that the electric pulses penetrate deeper into the muscles and ligaments, thereby enhancing the treatment effect.
[0074] In addition, when performing squeeze acupuncture, if the patient feels uncomfortable and bends his knee, the doctor can quickly control the second rubber ball 10 to deflate, and with the elastic force of the first spring 27, the entire hollow arc plate 1 is quickly lifted up to the initial position, so that the contact pad 34 is no longer tightly attached to the knee, which can reduce the stimulation caused by acupuncture and prevent the electronic needle 33 from being damaged when the knee is bent;
[0075] When performing ordinary acupuncture, the exhaust valve 21 is closed first, and then the first gear 13 is installed on the spiral locking device 9 and meshed with the second gear 14. When the patient suddenly feels uncomfortable and bends his knees, the first clamping plate 2 and the second clamping plate 3 will move relative to each other, thereby forcing the spiral locking device 9 to loosen under the relative movement. The spiral locking device 9 rotates after being loosened, thereby driving the first gear 13 to rotate, and then through the second gear 14, the transmission shaft and the first bevel gear 19, finally driving the second bevel gear 20 to rotate. The second bevel gear 20 is installed on the valve of the exhaust valve 21. The rotation of the second bevel gear 20 will unscrew the valve of the exhaust valve 21, and the hollow arc plate 1 can also be lifted upward to prevent damage to the electronic needle 33 when the knee is bent.
[0076] In addition, a hot air device 4 is also installed on the hollow arc plate 1. The hot air device 4 blows out hot air through the second air pipe 15. The warm effect of the hot air is used to relax tense muscle groups, improve the flexibility and activity of joints, and then combined with the stimulation of acupuncture to achieve better therapeutic effects.
[0077] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
