[0047] Embodiment 1:

[0048] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown:

[0049] A meridian auxiliary therapeutic device, comprising a wearable part 1 and a pressing body 2; wherein:

[0050] The wearable part 1 can be worn on a limb, and the limb referred to in this embodiment is a human forearm. A main control panel (not shown in the figure) is provided on the wearable part 1;

[0051] There are multiple pressing bodies 2, and the multiple pressing bodies 2 are slidably arranged on the wearing part 1 along the length direction of the wearing part 1, and a monitoring probe 23 for monitoring the heart rate is arranged on the pressing body 2, and the monitoring probe 23 is connected to the main control board signal;

[0052] The main control board can control the intensity and time of pressing the acupoints by the monitoring probe 23 according to the heart rate information monitored by the monitoring probe 23.

[0053] The meridian auxiliary therapeutic device provided by the present invention can monitor the wearer's heart rate according to the monitoring probe 23, and judge the wearer's heart state according to the monitored heart rate information. If there is an irregular heartbeat, the main control board will control the action of the pressing body 2 so that the monitoring probe 23 on the pressing body 2 can be pressed on the corresponding acupuncture points of the wearer, thereby alleviating the symptoms of the wearer's irregular heartbeat and avoiding excessive fatigue of the heart.

[0054] In the meridians of traditional Chinese medicine, there is a treatment plan specifically for this symptom (arrhythmia), and it does not produce any side effects. The ancient medical book Acupuncture and Moxibustion states that the pulse starts from the chest, goes out of the pericardium, goes down the diaphragm, and passes through the three burners; its branches go along the chest and out of the ribs, three inches below the armpit, up to the armpit, down along the inside of the arm, between the Taiyin and Shaoyin, into the elbow, down the arm, between the two tendons, into the palm, and point out the end along the middle finger; its branches go from the palm along the little finger to the end. More blood and less qi, qi and blood are injected here at the hour of Xu. If it moves, the patient's palms will be hot, the arms and elbows will be cramped, the armpits will be swollen, and in severe cases, the chest and ribs will be full, the heart will be beating violently, the face will be red, the eyes will be yellow, and the patient will laugh endlessly. The disease caused by this main pulse is upset, heartache, and heat in the palms. For these diseases, if it is strong, it should be drained, if it is weak, it should be supplemented, if it is hot, it should be treated quickly, if it is cold, it should be retained, if it is sunken, it should be moxibustioned, if it is neither strong nor weak, it should be treated according to the meridians. If the pulse is strong, Cunkou is twice as large as Renying; if the pulse is weak, Cunkou is smaller than Renying.

[0055] From the above content, we can know that the pericardium meridian has a very consistent relationship with relieving palpitations, chest pain and other symptoms that are consistent with the modern understanding of heart disease. With continuous clinical verification, the use of acupoints to intervene in the onset of the disease and control the incidence rate has a very good prognosis.

[0056] In one actual example, after a patient developed various discomforts and allergies while taking numerous medications to control symptoms, treatment on the acupuncture points of the pericardium meridian was performed, with immediate results. For details, see: Saudi Medical Journal, November 2015; 36(11):1351–1353.

[0057] The five Shu points on the pericardium meridian, mainly Neiguan and Jianshi points, use the inverted horse needle method, plus the Xi point on the pericardium meridian, can effectively control the symptoms of palpitations and chest tightness and have a significant therapeutic effect (based on the results of scientific research in Portugal, the conclusion was drawn after tracking the treatment effects for one year).

[0058] When the meridian auxiliary therapeutic device is used specifically, the wearer can wear the meridian auxiliary therapeutic device on his forearm, and then use the same body measurement method to determine the positions of multiple pressing bodies 2; in this embodiment, the number of pressing bodies 2 is three, and the three pressing bodies 2 are respectively moved to the Neiguan point, the Jianshi point and the Xi point on the pericardium meridian, and then the monitoring probe on the pressing body 2 can be used to monitor the wearer's heart rate information, and the corresponding acupoints can be pressed when the heart rate is irregular.

[0059] It should be noted that the concept of the above-mentioned same-body measurement method was proposed as early as the "Inner Canon of Medicine" period, but it was not perfected and matured until the "Qianjin Yaofang" of the Tang Dynasty.

[0060] It refers to using certain parts of the patient's body surface as the unit of length for measuring acupuncture points.

[0061] The width of a thumb is one inch;

[0062] Two fingers together equal one and a half inches;

[0063] Three fingers together equals two inches;

[0064] Four fingers together equal three inches;

[0065] In this embodiment, the positioning of the pressing body 2 is measured by putting three fingers together from the connection between the palm and the arm, and the first pressing body 2 is moved to a position three fingers away from the connection between the palm and the arm; the second pressing body 2 is moved to a position three fingers away from the first pressing body 2; and the third pressing body 2 is moved to a position three fingers away from the second pressing body 2, so as to complete the determination of the acupoint;

[0066] This method is used to position the pressing body 2, so that ordinary people can use the meridian auxiliary therapeutic device at home.

[0067] Optimally, the wearable part 1 is provided with an on / off switch 11, which is electrically connected to the main control board to make the use of the meridian auxiliary therapeutic device more convenient.

[0068] Optimally, the wearable part 1 is provided with an electric shock module (not shown in the figure), and the main control board is electrically connected to the monitoring probe 23 through the electric shock module;

[0069] The meridian auxiliary therapeutic device monitors the wearer's heart rate information through the monitoring probe 23, and the main control board controls the opening and closing of the pressing body 2 according to the heart rate information;

[0070] If the wearer has an irregular heartbeat, the main control board will control the pressing body 2 to press and / or electrically shock the wearer's acupoints to stimulate the patient's acupoints, so as to relieve the wearer's arrhythmia symptoms and avoid excessive fatigue of the heart.

[0071] It should be noted that the main control board determines the wearer's heart rate according to the following methods:

[0072] In a normal heart rate wave, see Figure 5 , there are several regular bands, maintaining a rhythmic beat. The sequence of PQRST points is a normal waveform. The starting point of P is the beginning of the sinoatrial node stimulating the heart beating sequence, which is then transmitted to the atrioventricular node to trigger the contraction of the ventricle. Each segment has a fixed regular wavelength and time. This rhythm ensures the maintenance of blood flow rate and avoids possible blood retention and blood clots.

[0073] In cases of arrhythmia or atrial fibrillation, the sinus node loses its ability to initiate electrical stimulation, see Figure 6 Without point P, the stimulation of electric waves cannot be carried out regularly, and the sinoatrial node loses its dominant function, making it impossible to maintain regularity; the atrioventricular node will try its best to make the heart beat irregularly, which may speed up or slow down.

[0074] The first symbol is that there is no regularity. There is no regularity from point R to the next point R. In addition, there is no obvious point P and the interval between R and R is short.

[0075] The monitoring probe 23 sends the monitored heart rate information to the main control board, and the main control board determines the wearer's heart rate through a burned-in algorithm; if there is an irregular heart rate, the main control board will control the pressing body 2 to press and / or electrically shock the wearer's acupoints to stimulate the patient's acupoints.

[0076] After 5 minutes of pressing or electric shock, the main control board will measure the situation again through the monitoring probe 23 until the heart rate drops to a relatively normal range, so as to alleviate the patient's symptoms from worsening and causing excessive fatigue of the heart.

[0077] Optimally, the pressing body 2 includes a slip ring 21 and a pressing airbag 22, see Figure 2 ;in,

[0078] The slip ring 21 is slidably mounted on the wearable part 1 along the length direction of the wearable part 1, so that the slip ring 21 can be adjusted to the corresponding acupuncture point, so that the monitoring probe 23 can press and / or electrically shock the corresponding acupuncture point when the wearer has an irregular heartbeat;

[0079] A pressing port 12 is provided on the wearable part 1. In this embodiment, the wearable part 1 in the meridian auxiliary therapeutic device is mounted on the arm, and the pressing port 12 corresponds to the position of the wearer's pulse;

[0080] The pressing airbag 22 mentioned above covers the inner side wall of the slip ring 21 corresponding to the pressing port 12, and the monitoring probe 23 is arranged on a side of the pressing airbag 22 facing the pressing port 12, so that the monitoring probe 23 can be pressed on the wearer's pulse.

[0081] Optimally, the wearing part 1 is a circular cylindrical structure with openings at both ends, so that the wearing part 1 is more convenient to wear and take off;

[0082] The pressing opening 12 is disposed on the side wall of the wearing portion 1 , and both ends of the pressing opening 12 extend to the openings at both ends of the wearing portion 1 .

[0083] Preferably, fixing belts (not shown in the figure) are respectively provided on both sides of the pressing port 12, and the pressing port 12 of the wearing part 1 is tightened by the fixing belts so that the wearing part 1 can be stably worn on the wearer's hand.

[0084] Optimally, the outer side wall of the wearable portion 1 is provided with a slide seat 13, see Figure 1 , the slide seat 13 extends along the length direction of the wearable portion 1;

[0085] A slide groove 211 is provided at a position of the slip ring 21 corresponding to the slide seat 13 , and the slip ring 21 is slidably arranged on the wearable portion 1 through the cooperation of the slide groove 211 and the slide seat 13 , so that the sliding of the slip ring 21 is more convenient.

[0086] Optimally, a limiting portion 14 is provided on the wearable portion 1, and the limiting portion 14 extends along the length direction of the wearable portion 1;

[0087] A clamping portion 212 is provided at a position of the slip ring 21 corresponding to the limiting portion 14, and the slip ring 21 is positioned by the cooperation between the clamping portion 212 and the limiting portion 14;

[0088] When the wearer or medical staff moves the multiple slip rings 21 to corresponding positions, the positions of the slip rings 21 will be fixed under the cooperation of the clamping portion 212 and the limiting portion 14 to avoid the situation where the position changes and affects the use of the meridian auxiliary therapeutic device.

[0089] Preferably, the above-mentioned limiting portion 14 is a rack, and the locking teeth of the limiting portion 14 are arranged away from the wearing portion 1;

[0090] The clamping portion 212 is an elastic protrusion, see Figure 4 , the locking portion 212 is locked in the locking teeth of the limiting portion 14;

[0091] When the wearer or medical staff slides the slip ring 21 with force, the clamping portion 212 will be squeezed and deformed by the clamping teeth on the limiting portion 14 until the clamping portion 212 moves between another set of clamping teeth, and then the clamping portion 212 will return to its initial state;

[0092] When the slip ring 21 moves to a suitable position, the locking portion 212 will be engaged and fixed with the locking teeth at the corresponding position to limit the change of the position of the slip ring 21 .

[0093] Optimally, the main control board is provided with an intelligent algorithm for controlling the intensity and duration of the pressure of the monitoring probe 23 pressing the acupoints.
