Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a cupping therapy device. Background Art

[0002] Cupping therapy is an important treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine and the most widely used health care method among the people. The medicine cupping method is a treatment method that combines medicine with cupping. It usually uses medicine boiling cupping, medicine gas cupping, and medicine coating cupping, which has the dual treatment effect of cupping and medicine. However, these methods cannot directly apply medicine to the treatment area during cupping treatment, and cannot achieve the synchronization of cupping and medicine treatment, which affects the treatment effect.

[0003] Therefore, how to design a cupping therapy device that can achieve simultaneous treatment with cupping and medicine has become an urgent problem to be solved in the field of medical device technology.

[0004] The Chinese utility model patent CN202078570U announced on December 21, 2011 discloses an automatic medication cupping for health care treatment, including a cup body and a medication device. The cup body is a spontaneous ignition cupping device. The medication device includes a medicine bag rod and a medicine liquid bag. The medicine bag rod is fixed in the cup body, and the medicine liquid bag is installed on the medicine bag rod. By utilizing the negative pressure in the cup, the medicine liquid in the medicine liquid bag is automatically dripped onto the treatment part while cupping, thereby realizing simultaneous cupping and medicine treatment.

[0005] The shortcomings of the existing patent CN202078570U are: 1. The medicine capsule is used repeatedly. If the medicine solution is changed, the medical staff needs to clean the medicine capsule first, otherwise it will cause different medicine solutions to contaminate each other, and cleaning the medicine capsule is troublesome.

[0006] 2. Medical staff need to manually prepare the medicine solution and then inject the prepared medicine solution into the medicine solution bag, which is troublesome to operate.

[0007] 3. The tank generates negative pressure by igniting gas, which consumes gas energy.

[0008] The Chinese utility model patent CN206391258U announced on August 11, 2017 discloses a medicine capsule medication cupping device to solve the problems of the existing cupping device having a complex structure, cumbersome production, inconvenient cleaning, easy mutual contamination of drugs at the drug inlet, and inconvenient clinical operation.

[0009] The shortcomings of the existing patent CN206391258U are: 1. Use a needle to penetrate the sealing plug on the outer wall of the tank to puncture the sealing film of the medicine bag, so that the liquid medicine drips out. Manual puncture by medical staff is easy to deviate and the operation is troublesome.

[0010] 2. After the sealing plug is punctured multiple times, the sealing performance may be reduced.

[0011] 3. When replacing the medicine capsule, the medical staff needs to reach into the tank and hang the medicine capsule on the hook inside the tank through the hanging ring. However, the opening of the tank is small and difficult to operate.

[0012] In summary, how to design a cupping therapy device to overcome technical problems such as mutual contamination during drug replacement and the inconvenience of manual puncture of the drug bag is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0013] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cupping therapy device, which uses an air suction gun to draw the cupping cup cavity into a vacuum environment. The cupping opening will firmly suck the patient's epidermis, and at the same time, the tip of the striker will pierce the water bag, causing the medicine liquid in the water bag to flow out and drip onto the patient's epidermis, thereby realizing simultaneous cupping and medicine treatment.

[0014] In order to achieve the above-mentioned invention object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A cupping therapy device includes a cupping device and an air extraction gun. The air extraction gun is used to extract air from the cupping device. The cupping device is hemispherical, and an air extraction port is provided at the upper end of the cupping device. The air extraction port is used to connect with the muzzle of the air extraction gun. The air extraction gun and the air extraction port can refer to the existing cupping set (manufacturer is Yongkang Kangfei Medical Equipment Co., Ltd.). The cupping device cupping cavity opens downward and is placed on the patient's epidermis. The two side walls of the cupping device cupping cavity are respectively provided with a medicine storage shell and a syringe. The opening of the syringe barrel cavity is provided on the outer wall of the cupping device. A piston is provided in the barrel cavity. The outer peripheral surface of the piston fits the inner peripheral surface of the barrel cavity and moves horizontally. A retractable striker is provided on the surface of the barrel cavity close to the medicine storage shell. The striker is fixed to the piston. A water bag is provided in the shell cavity of the medicine storage shell. The water bag contains liquid medicine. The shell cavity is provided with a liquid outlet on the surface close to the syringe. The liquid outlet is provided on the telescopic path of the striker.

[0015] Preferably, the outer end surface of the piston adopts a spherical arc surface, and the piston completes the hemispherical outer wall of the cupping device at the opening of the barrel cavity. The piston always moves in the barrel cavity, and the outer end of the piston does not protrude from the outer wall of the cupping device, which is not only more beautiful, but also can prevent the outer end of the piston from being accidentally touched, causing the striker to extend and accidentally puncture the water bag.

[0016] Preferably, a spring is provided on the inner end surface of the piston, and the spring expands and contracts in the same direction as the striker: when the vacuum gun draws the tank cavity into a vacuum environment, the striker extends and drives the piston to move in the same direction, and the spring is compressed; when air reenters the tank cavity, the spring resets, the striker retracts and drives the piston back to its original position. The piston automatically moves back to its original position by spring reset, and medical staff do not need to manually restore it, which is easy to operate.

[0017] Preferably, the outer wall of the cupping device is provided with a filling port, the caliber of the filling port gradually increases from the inside to the outside, the medicine storage shell is in the shape of a bullet, and the outer diameter of the medicine storage shell gradually increases from the head end to the tail end, the head end of the medicine storage shell is inserted into the tank cavity from the filling port, and the filling port is closed by the medicine storage shell. Before cupping, medical staff only need to insert the medicine storage shell containing the required liquid medicine into the filling port, which is easy and quick to operate; when the vacuum gun draws the tank cavity into a vacuum environment, the filling port limits the medicine storage shell, and the negative pressure of the tank cavity makes the medicine storage shell firmly sucked in the filling port, and the sealing is better. If the liquid medicine needs to be replaced, the medical staff only needs to replace the medicine storage shell at the filling port, without the need to manually prepare the liquid medicine, and avoid cleaning due to mutual contamination of different medicines, thereby reducing the workload of medical staff.

[0018] Preferably, a sealing ring is provided on the inner wall of the filling port, and the sealing ring is arranged around the filling port in a circle, and the sealing ring is made of elastic silicone material. The sealing ring is used to enhance the sealing between the medicine storage shell and the filling port to prevent accidental leakage of the cup cavity during cupping.

[0019] Preferably, the shell cavity opening is arranged at the end face of the medicine storage shell, and the shell cavity opening is covered with a cover, which is threadedly connected to the shell cavity opening. The medical staff opens the cover and then puts the required medicine liquid water bag into the shell cavity of the medicine storage shell, so that the medicine storage shell can be reused and the cost is reduced.

[0020] Preferably, the outer end surface of the piston is provided with a plug handle, the outer diameter of the plug handle is larger than the diameter of the barrel cavity, and the plug handle is limited outside the barrel cavity. After the cupping is completed, the medical staff holds the plug handle and manually pulls the piston back to its original position for the next use.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the cupping therapy device using the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects: 1. When using the cupping and medical therapy device of the present invention, the medical staff places the cupping device with the opening of the cup cavity downward on the patient's epidermis, and then connects the muzzle of the vacuum gun to the vacuum port of the cupping device, and then uses the vacuum gun to evacuate the cup cavity into a vacuum environment. The cupping device opening will firmly absorb the patient's epidermis, and at the same time, the tip of the striker moves into the liquid outlet and punctures the water bag, so that the medicine in the water bag flows out from the liquid outlet and drips onto the patient's epidermis, thereby realizing simultaneous cupping and medicine treatment.

[0022] Second, in the cupping device of the present invention, the liquid outlet of the medicine storage shell is fixed and on the telescopic path of the striker, so the striker can accurately puncture the water bag without deviation, and the sealing of the cupping cavity will not be affected.

[0023] 3. Since the firing pin is arranged in the cup cavity of the cupping device and is retracted inside the syringe under normal conditions, it will not cause needle stick injuries to the operating physician and the patient during use. After the cup cavity is evacuated, it is affected by the air pressure and the firing pin punctures the water bag. All of this is done inside the cup cavity of the cupping device. The operating physician does not need to operate the firing pin, which effectively avoids needle stick injuries. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the specific implementation mode, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0036] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 6The cupping therapy device shown includes a cupping device 1 and an air extraction gun 4. The air extraction gun 4 is used to extract air from the cup cavity 10 of the cupping device 1. The cupping device 1 is hemispherical, and an air extraction port 11 is provided at the upper end of the cupping device 1. The air extraction port 11 is used to connect with the muzzle 41 of the air extraction gun 4. The air extraction gun 4 and the air extraction port 11 can refer to the existing cupping set (the manufacturer is Yongkang Kangfei Medical Equipment Co., Ltd.). The cupping device 1 has a cup cavity 10 opening downward and is placed on the patient's epidermis. A medicine storage shell 2 and a syringe 3 are respectively provided on two side walls of the cup cavity 10 of the cupping device 1. The syringe 3, the striker 31 and the medicine storage shell 2 are all made of plastic. The opening of the syringe cavity 30 is arranged on the outer wall of the cupping device 1. A piston 33 is arranged in the cylinder cavity 30. The outer circumferential surface of the piston 33 fits the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder cavity 30 and moves horizontally. A retractable striker 31 is arranged on the surface of the cylinder cavity 30 close to the medicine storage shell 2. The striker 31 is fixed to the piston 33. A water bag 22 is arranged in the shell cavity 20 of the medicine storage shell 2. The water bag 22 is made of a film material. Liquid medicine is stored in the water bag 22. A liquid outlet 21 is arranged on the surface of the shell cavity 20 close to the syringe 3. The diameter of the liquid outlet 21 is larger than the outer diameter of the striker 31. The liquid outlet 21 is arranged on the telescopic path of the striker 31. The medical staff places the cupping device 1 with the cup cavity 10 opening downward on the patient's epidermis, and then connects the muzzle 41 of the vacuum gun 4 to the vacuum port 11 of the cupping device 1, and then uses the vacuum gun 4 to evacuate the cup cavity 10 into a vacuum environment. The opening of the cupping device 1 will firmly suck the patient's epidermis, and at the same time, the tip of the striker 31 moves into the liquid outlet 21 and punctures the water bag 22, so that the medicine liquid in the water bag 22 flows out from the liquid outlet 21 and drips onto the patient's epidermis, thereby realizing simultaneous cupping and medicine treatment.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The outer end surface of the piston 33 is a spherical arc surface, and the piston 33 complements the outer wall of the hemispherical cupping device 1 at the opening of the barrel cavity 30. The piston 33 always moves in the barrel cavity 30, and the outer end of the piston 33 does not protrude from the outer wall of the cupping device 1, which is not only more beautiful, but also can prevent the outer end of the piston 33 from being accidentally touched, causing the striker 31 to extend and accidentally puncture the water bag 22.

[0038] The inner end surface of the piston 33 is provided with a spring 34, and the expansion and contraction direction of the spring 34 is the same as that of the striker 31: Figure 3 As shown, when the vacuum gun 4 draws the tank chamber 10 into a vacuum environment, the striker 31 extends and drives the piston 33 to move in the same direction, and the spring 34 is compressed; Figure 2 As shown, when air enters the tank cavity 10 again, the spring 34 is reset, the striker 31 is retracted and drives the piston 33 to move back to the original position. The piston 33 is automatically moved back to the original position by the spring 34 reset, and the medical staff does not need to manually restore, which is easy to operate.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6The outer wall of the cupping device 1 is provided with a filling port 12, the diameter of the filling port 12 gradually increases from the inside to the outside, the medicine storage shell 2 is in the shape of a bullet, and the outer diameter of the medicine storage shell 2 gradually increases from the head end to the tail end, the head end of the medicine storage shell 2 is inserted into the tank cavity 10 from the filling port 12, and the filling port 12 is closed by the medicine storage shell 2. When the vacuum gun 4 draws the tank cavity 10 into a vacuum environment, the filling port 12 acts as a limit on the medicine storage shell 2, and the medicine storage shell 2 is firmly sucked in the filling port 12 through the negative pressure of the tank cavity 10, and the sealing performance is better.

[0040] The inner wall of the filling port 12 is provided with a sealing ring 13, which is arranged around the filling port 12 and is made of elastic silicone. The sealing ring 13 is used to enhance the sealing between the medicine storage shell 2 and the filling port 12 to prevent accidental leakage of the cup cavity 10 during cupping.

[0041] Compared with the existing patent CN202078570U, the cupping device 1 generates negative pressure by sucking air through the suction gun 4, which does not consume gas energy, is energy-saving and safe. Moreover, if the liquid medicine needs to be replaced, the medical staff only needs to replace the medicine storage shell 2 at the filling port 12, without the need to manually prepare the liquid medicine, and avoids cleaning due to contamination between different medicines, thereby reducing the workload of the medical staff.

[0042] Compared with the existing patent CN206391258U, before cupping, the medical staff only needs to insert the medicine storage shell 2 containing the required medicine liquid into the filling port 12, which is simple and quick to operate. In the cupping cavity 10 of the cupping device 1, the liquid outlet 21 of the medicine storage shell 2 is fixed and on the telescopic path of the striker 31. The striker 31 can accurately puncture the water bag 22 without deviation, and the sealing of the cupping cavity 10 will not be affected.

[0043] Example 2 like Figures 7 to 9 The cupping therapy device shown in this embodiment is based on embodiment 1. The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is as follows: like Figure 8 As shown, the opening of the shell cavity 20 is set at the end surface of the rear end of the medicine storage shell 2, and the opening of the shell cavity 20 is covered with a cover 23, and the cover 23 is threadedly connected to the opening of the shell cavity 20. The medical staff opens the cover 23 and then puts the required medicine liquid water bag 22 into the shell cavity 20 of the medicine storage shell 2, so that the medicine storage shell 2 can be reused and reduce costs.

[0044] like Fig. 9 As shown, the piston 33 is made of silicone material, and a plug handle 32 is provided on the outer end surface of the piston 33. The outer diameter of the plug handle 32 is larger than the diameter of the cylinder cavity 30, and the plug handle 32 is limited to the outside of the cylinder cavity 30. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, after the cupping is completed, the medical staff holds the plug handle 32 and manually pulls the piston 33 back to its original position for the next use.

[0045] Example 3 like Fig.10 The cupping therapy device shown in this embodiment is based on embodiment 2. The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is as follows: The head end of the medicine storage shell 2 is tapered, and the cupping cavity 10 of the cupping device 1 is provided with a sleeve 14 at the filling port 12. The sealing ring 13 is provided between the inner wall of the sleeve 14 and the head end of the medicine storage shell 2. The outer peripheral surface of the medicine storage shell 2 is threadedly connected with the inner peripheral surface of the filling port 12 and the inner peripheral surface of the sealing cover 23. When the medicine storage shell 2 and the filling port 12 are completely tightened, the tapered head end of the medicine storage shell 2 will squeeze the sealing ring 13 to achieve sealing, and the outer thread of the medicine storage shell 2 plays three roles at the same time: first, the sealing cover 23 is used to cover the opening of the shell cavity 20 of the medicine storage shell 2; second, the medicine storage shell 2 is used to fix the medicine storage shell 2 at the filling port 12 of the cupping device 1; and third, the sealing between the medicine storage shell 2 and the filling port 12 is improved.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technical personnel in this field can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any brief modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
