Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an ear point massage therapeutic instrument, belonging to the technical field of medical equipment. Background Art
[0002] Recently, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine issued a notice on the issuance of the "Action Plan for Standardization of Traditional Chinese Medicine (2024-2026)", which clearly proposed to vigorously promote the deep integration and application of new generation information technologies such as big data, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence with traditional Chinese medicine, and to develop intelligent equipment for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases with traditional Chinese medicine characteristics. As an intangible cultural heritage inheritance unit of auricular acupuncture therapy, the study and application of auricular acupuncture has a history of nearly 70 years. The inventor found that the clinical efficacy of auricular acupuncture is worthy of recognition and is also loved by people. WHO recommends acupuncture (auricular acupuncture) indications (64 diseases in total) to various countries, and it is also widely used in different countries in the world. There are 93 acupuncture points distributed in the small ear. As for how to promote auricular acupuncture, we found a problem. The treatment of auricular acupuncture requires a certain amount of time and stimulation, but it is not convenient and cannot be pressed accurately by manual or other tools. In addition, the inventor stimulated the cymbidium and cavum concha twice a day for 30 minutes each time for a total of 12 weeks, which can achieve the purpose of lowering blood sugar two hours after a meal. Summary of the invention

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an ear acupoint massage therapeutic instrument is provided, comprising a massage cavity, a functional cavity, a connecting support belt, a flexible fitting layer, a control element, a sampling element, a massage element, a battery and a charging port, the massage cavity is a hollow cylindrical tube, the upper end of the massage cavity is equipped with a functional cavity, the end face of the functional cavity close to the ear is close to the end face of the massage cavity close to the ear, the functional cavity is a square hollow frame, the two ends of the connecting support belt are respectively connected and installed with the functional cavity, the flexible fitting layer is installed on the side of the massage cavity close to the ear and replaces the cylinder wall of the massage cavity close to the ear, the control element is located inside the side of the massage cavity away from the ear, the sampling element is located in the middle of the control element and the flexible fitting layer in the massage cavity, the massage element is located inside the side of the functional cavity close to the ear, and the battery and the charging port are both located inside the functional cavity and on the side of the functional cavity away from the ear;
[0005] The present invention only needs to be worn in the corresponding position like a headphone, and then the flexible fitting layer will perfectly fit the user's ear without generating other stimulation. Then the present invention is turned on through the control element, and the user's auricle map is sampled through the sampling element. After the sampling is completed, the user's auricle map is formed on the terminal, and the massage element is controlled through the terminal operation or voice operation to stimulate or massage the ear acupoints, and the battery is charged through the charging port.
[0006] The control element includes a display screen, a power button, a power off button, a chip, a partition, a voice input port and a speaker.

The other end of the track rod is installed with a track bead. The track inner groove is opened in the track. The track is installed on the outer walls on both sides of the massage element.
[0011] The displacement motor drives the worm to rotate, thereby driving the turbine to rotate. Because the inner screw is fixed, only the outer screw can move downward. After moving to the appropriate position, the rotation motor drives the swing arm to adjust the position, and the travel motor starts to stimulate the acupoints by pressing the points. Under the action of the track rod, track beads, track and track inner groove, the downward movement will not deviate.
[0012] The battery supplies power to the sampling motor, displacement motor, rotation motor, stroke motor and control element; the charging port is connected to the battery; the control element controls the actions of the sampling motor, displacement motor, rotation motor and stroke motor through a chip; the middle connection part between the massage cavity and the functional cavity is a through-type.
