Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a wearable ear moxibustion instrument designed based on the auricle. Background Art

[0002] Ear therapy is based on the theory of auricular acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine. It is a traditional treatment method that treats diseases by stimulating the auricle with warming effect, and harmonizes qi and blood by accurately locating and stimulating specific acupuncture points in the ear, achieving the effect of treating a variety of diseases. Ear therapy, also known as auricular acupuncture, is a treatment method based on the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine and modern bioholographic theory. The theory believes that the ear is a microcosm of the internal organs and meridians of the human body, and that specific areas on the ear are closely related to different organs of the body. Its main treatment instruments include filiform needles, intradermal needles (press needles), auricular acupuncture materials, electroacupuncture instruments, magnetic beads or magnetic sheets, etc.

[0003] In actual operation, it should be performed by a professional Chinese medicine practitioner, who usually needs to accurately identify and locate the ear acupoints with the assistance of a doctor or nurse, and perform appropriate ear therapy and pressing on the acupoints. However, ear therapy often takes a long time to treat (such as 20-30 minutes) and requires professional physicians to operate, which leads to the concentration of patients and long waiting time for treatment in clinical practice.

[0004] At the same time, since ear therapy mainly exists in the field of preventing diseases or treating chronic diseases, it often takes a long treatment cycle or course of treatment to achieve better treatment results. However, with the current fast pace of life, it is difficult to spare long-term stable and regular time to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, especially since chronic diseases or occupational diseases are more common among young and middle-aged people, ear therapy diagnosis and treatment is difficult to popularize to this type of working population.

[0029] The following description is used to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are only examples, and those skilled in the art can think of other obvious variations. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, variations, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0030] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of the present invention, the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicating the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0031] The wearable ear moxibustion instrument disclosed in this application corresponds to applicable ear therapy diagnosis and treatment methods, including but not limited to heat therapy, electrotherapy, acupuncture and other treatment methods. To avoid unnecessary omissions, the ear therapy described below should include at least one or more of the above-mentioned treatment methods.

[0032] Since the auricle of the human ear is uneven in shape, it has depressions of different depths. The depressions in the auricle can basically be composed of the triangular fossa area, the scaphoid and helix areas, and the concha cavity and cymba concha areas of the auricle. The depths of these three areas are compared to the plane where the helix is ​​located. The concha cavity and cymba concha areas are the deepest, the scaphoid and helix areas are the shallowest, and the depth of the triangular fossa area is between the other two auricle areas. However, ear therapy instruments need to fit relatively closely to the surfaces of different depths in the auricle in order to adapt to the acupuncture points located in the depressed areas of the auricle. Therefore, it is necessary to design patches for different depth depression ranges to ensure the accuracy of ear moxibustion medicines or instruments.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 As shown in, the present application discloses a wearable ear moxibustion instrument, comprising: a bracket assembly 10, a patch assembly 20 and a power supply assembly 30. The bracket assembly 10 is used to fix the wearable ear moxibustion instrument as a whole on the ear of the human body. The patch assembly 20 and the power supply assembly 30 are installed on the bracket assembly 10 and the power supply assembly 30 is electrically connected to the patch assembly 20. The patch assembly 20 is used to fit the auricle of the human ear, and the patch assembly 20 generates heat or energy under the power supply of the power supply assembly 30, so that the patch assembly 20 performs ear therapy on the auricle of the ear.

[0034] The ear moxibustion instrument is worn on the ear of the human body through the bracket assembly 10, and the auricle of the ear is treated through the patch assembly 20 under the power supply of the power supply assembly 30. The user can perform ear treatment at home without frequent trips to the hospital, and can perform ear treatment in his spare time. The convenience and comfort of ear treatment for the user are improved.

[0035] To adapt to the uneven shape of the auricle, the patch assembly 20 may include a first patch unit 21, a second patch unit 22, and a third patch unit 23. The first patch unit 21, the second patch unit 22, and the third patch unit 23 are used to perform ear therapy on the triangular fossa region, the scaphoid and helix regions of the auricle, and the cavum concha and cymba concha regions, respectively. The cavum concha and cymba concha regions corresponding to the third patch unit 23 have the deepest depth, the scaphoid and helix regions corresponding to the second patch unit 22 have the shallowest depth, and the triangular fossa region corresponding to the first patch unit 21 has a depth between the other two auricle regions.

[0036] Since the first patch unit 21, the second patch unit 22, and the third patch unit 23 have different depths of the auricle regions corresponding to them, the first patch unit 21, the second patch unit 22, and the third patch unit 23 act at different depths. That is, when the support assembly 10 is fixed on the human head and the patch assembly 20 is fixed on the support assembly 10, the first patch unit 21 acts at a middle depth on the auricle of the human ear, the second patch unit 22 acts at a shallow depth on the auricle of the human ear, and the third patch unit 23 acts at a deep depth on the auricle of the human ear.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first patch unit 21 may include a first mounting member 211 and a first patch 212 , the first patch 212 is fixedly connected to the first mounting member 211 , and the first mounting member 211 is mounted on the bracket assembly 10 .

[0038] The second patch unit 22 may include a second mounting member 221 and a second patch 222 . The second patch 222 is fixedly mounted on the second mounting member 221 . The second mounting member 221 is mounted on the bracket assembly 10 .

[0039] The third patch unit 23 may include a third mounting member 231 and a third patch 232 . The third patch 232 is fixedly mounted on the third mounting member 231 . The third mounting member 231 is mounted on the bracket assembly 10 .

[0040] Since the triangular fossa region is located at the top of the auricle, the scaphoid and helix regions are located in the middle of the auricle, and the cavum concha and cymba concha regions are located at the bottom of the auricle, the first patch unit 21, the second patch unit 22, and the third patch unit 23 are successively lowered on the support assembly 10 to match the heights of the triangular fossa region, the scaphoid and helix regions, and the cavum concha and cymba concha regions in the auricle of the human ear on the auricle.

[0041] The triangular fossa area, the scaphoid and helix area, as well as the cavum concha and cymba concha area all have depressions, so the first patch unit 21, the second patch unit 22, and the first patch 212, the second patch 222, and the third patch 232 in the third patch unit 23 need to be adaptively designed to fit the depressions in the auricle of the human ear, thereby achieving ear therapy for the auricle of the human ear.

[0042] In one embodiment, the shape of the first patch is configured as a triangle, and the triangle shape is adapted to the shape of the triangular fossa area of ​​the auricle. The shape of the second patch is configured as an arc with curved edge lines, and the arc shape is adapted to the shape of the scaphoid and helix areas of the auricle. The shape of the third patch is configured as a triangle, and the three edges of the triangle are zigzag shapes, so as to adapt to the shape of the concha cavity and cymba concha area of ​​the auricle.

[0043] The first mounting member 211 is mounted on the bracket assembly 10, and the first patch 212 is fixedly connected to the first mounting member 211. The shape of the first patch 212 is adapted to the triangular fossa region of the auricle of the human ear. And the first patch 212 has at least a portion extending out of the first mounting member 211. The portion of the first patch 212 extending out is inclined toward the auricle of the human ear. Thus, the first patch unit 21 is mounted on the bracket assembly 10, and the first patch 212 is inclined toward the human ear, so that the first patch 212 is in contact with the ear in the triangular fossa region, thereby performing ear therapy on the auricle of the human ear.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first patch 212 and the first mounting member 211 are two independent components, and the first patch 212 is fixedly connected to the first mounting member 211. Depending on the materials of the first patch 212 and the first mounting member 211, the fixed connection may be welding or hot melting.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first patch 212 and the first mounting member 211 are an integral structure and are manufactured using an integral molding process.

[0046] The second mounting member 221 is mounted on the support assembly 10, and the second patch 222 is fixedly connected to the second mounting member 221. The shape of the second patch 222 is adapted to the scaphoid and helix regions of the auricle of the human ear. The second patch 222 is tiltedly mounted on the second mounting member 221. This is to adapt to the concave portion of the scaphoid and helix regions in the auricle of the human ear, so that the second patch 222 is in contact with the ear in the scaphoid and helix regions, thereby performing ear therapy on the auricle of the human ear.

[0047] The depth of the first patch unit 21 and the second patch unit 22 acting on the auricle of the human ear depends on the tilt angles of the first patch 212 and the second patch 222. Since the depth of the triangular fossa area is deeper than the depth of the scaphoid and helix areas, the tilt angle of the first patch 212 is greater than the tilt angle of the second patch 222, so that the auricle of the human ear at different depths can be fitted to perform ear therapy.

[0048] In some embodiments, the second patch 222 and the second mounting member 221 are two independent components, and the second patch 222 is fixedly connected to the second mounting member 221. Depending on the materials of the second patch 222 and the second mounting member 221, the connection may be welding or hot melting.

[0049] In some embodiments, the second patch 222 and the second mounting member 221 are an integral structure and are manufactured using an integral molding process.

[0050] The third mounting member 231 is mounted on the bracket assembly 10, and the third patch 232 is fixedly connected to the third mounting member 231. The shape of the third patch 232 is adapted to the shape of the auricle, the middle concha cavity and the cymba concha region of the human ear.

[0051] Since the concha cavity and the cymba concha region of the auricle of the human ear are the deepest and the largest in area, the third mounting member 231 is not suitable for being arranged in an inclined manner to fit the concha cavity and the cymba concha region to achieve ear therapy. Therefore, the third mounting member 231 has an extension portion toward the concha cavity and the cymba concha region, and the extension portion is closer to the concha cavity and the cymba concha region of the auricle of the human ear. The third patch 232 is connected to the extension portion, so as to be fitted to the concha cavity and the cymba concha region of the auricle of the human ear, thereby achieving ear therapy for the concha cavity and the cymba concha region of the auricle of the human ear.

[0052] In some embodiments, the third patch 232 may be parallel to the human ear or the third patch 232 may be inclined toward the human ear.

[0053] In some embodiments, the third patch 232 and the third mounting member 231 are two independent components, and the third patch 232 is fixedly connected to the third mounting member 231. Depending on the materials of the third patch 232 and the third mounting member 231, the connection may be welding or hot melting.

[0054] In some embodiments, the third patch 232 and the third mounting member 231 are an integral structure and are manufactured using an integral molding process.

[0055] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the support assembly 10 at least includes a support 11. Since the support 11 is used to fix the wearable ear moxibustion instrument on the human ear, the support 11 is a tortuous structure adapted to the human ear.

[0056] The bracket 11 is adapted to the tortuous structure of the human ear, so the bracket 11 may have a first extension portion 111, a second extension portion 112 and a third extension portion 113, and the first extension portion 111, the second extension portion 112 and the third extension portion 113 are connected in sequence. The first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 112 extend in opposite directions, and the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 112 roughly form an "n" shape, wherein the bend of the "n" shape formed by the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 112 is used to hang the wearable ear moxibustion instrument at the connection between the human ear and the human head, so as to fix the wearable ear moxibustion instrument to the human ear. The third extension portion 113 and the second extension portion 112 form a bend shape, and the third extension portion 113 extends toward the human head, and the shape of the third extension portion 113 is adapted to the shape of the back of the human brain. The bending shapes of the third extension portion 113 and the second extension portion 112 are used to clamp the wearable ear-moxibustion instrument to the human head, so that the wearable ear-moxibustion instrument is firmly placed on the human ear.

[0057] The first patch unit 21 is connected to the first extension portion 111, and the second patch unit 22 is connected to the second extension portion 112. Corresponding to the positions of the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 112, the first patch unit 21 can correspond to the triangular fossa region of the auricle of the human ear, and the second patch unit 22 can correspond to the scaphoid and helix regions of the auricle of the human ear. In addition, the first patch 212 can correspond to the triangular fossa region of the auricle of the human ear, and the second patch 222 can correspond to the scaphoid and helix regions of the auricle of the human ear.

[0058] Due to factors such as age and body shape, the ears of different people are different. For example, the size and shape of the ears are different. The relative distances and relative orientations of the triangular fossa area, the scaphoid and helix area, and the cavum concha and cymba concha area of ​​different individuals are different. The patch assembly 20 in the wearable ear moxibustion instrument of the same specification needs to meet the adaptability so that it can be used by different people.

[0059] To this end, the first patch unit 21 and the second patch unit 22 are slidably mounted on the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 112 of the bracket assembly 10, respectively. That is, the first mounting member 211 is slidably mounted on the first extension portion 111, thereby driving the first patch 212 to slide on the first extension portion 111. The second mounting member 221 is slidably mounted on the second extension portion 112, thereby driving the second patch 222 to slide on the second extension portion 112.

[0060] When different individuals use the wearable ear moxibustion instrument of the same specification, when the first patch 212 and the second patch 222 are not suitable for the triangular fossa area, the scaphoid and the helix area, the positions of the first patch 212 and the second patch 222 can be adjusted by sliding the first mounting member 211 and the second mounting member 221 on the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 112, so that the first patch 212 and the second patch 222 are adapted to the triangular fossa area, the scaphoid and the helix area of ​​the auricle of the human ear, thereby achieving a good ear therapy effect.

[0061] The third patch unit 23 can be fixedly mounted on the second extension portion 112 to serve as a wearing calibration position of the wearable ear moxibustion instrument. Alternatively, the third patch unit 23 can also be slidably mounted on the second extension portion 112.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first mounting member 211 and the second mounting member 221 are respectively provided with a first slide groove 2114 and a second slide groove 2214, and the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 112 of the bracket 11 are respectively adapted to the first slide groove 2114 and the second slide groove 2214, so that the first mounting member 211 and the second mounting member 221 can slide on the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 112, respectively.

[0063] Since the triangular fossa area of ​​the auricle of the human ear and the scaphoid and helix areas are relatively close, the first patch 212 and the second patch 222 do not need to be adjusted much when adapting to the auricle shapes of different individuals, and only need to be fine-tuned. In addition, when the wearable ear moxibustion instrument is not in use, the first patch 212 and the second patch 222 may slide too far on the bracket 11 as the wearer swings, and may easily collide with each other, causing damage to the patch assembly 20. Or when it is needed, the position of the first patch 212 and the second patch 222 needs to be adjusted over a long distance, and the adjustment time is too long.

[0064] To this end, in some embodiments, the first extension portion 111 includes a first mounting section 1112 and a first bending section 1111. The second extension portion 112 includes a second mounting section 1121 and a second bending section 1122. The third extension portion 113 includes a third mounting section 1131 and a third bending section 1132.

[0065] The first mounting section 1112 of the first extension portion 111 is used to mount the first mounting member 211 of the first patch unit 21, and the first bending section 1111 and the first mounting section 1112 extend in different directions. The second mounting section 1121 of the second extension portion 112 is used to mount the second mounting member 221 of the second patch unit 22.

[0066] The first mounting section 1112 of the first extension portion 111 is not coplanar with the second mounting section 1121 of the second extension portion 112. That is, the first mounting section 1112 and the second mounting section 1121 are connected but not in the same plane, and the first mounting section 1112 and the second mounting section 1121 are connected at a certain angle. One end of the first mounting section 1112 is connected to the second mounting section 1121, and the other end of the first mounting section 1112 is connected to the first bending section 1111, and the first bending section 1111 and the first mounting section 1112 are connected at a certain angle. Due to the setting of the first bending section 1111, when the first mounting member 211 slides on the first mounting section 1112 of the first extension portion 111 to the first bending section 1111, due to the angle change caused by the first bending section 1111, the first mounting member 211 cannot slide further toward the first bending section 1111. Since the second mounting section 1121 is connected to the first mounting section 1112 at a certain angle, when the first mounting member 211 slides on the first mounting section 1112 of the first extension portion 111 to the second mounting section 1121, the first mounting member 211 cannot slide further toward the second mounting section 1121. The first mounting member 211 is limited in the first mounting section 1112, thereby limiting the sliding range of the first mounting member 211 on the first extension portion 111, thereby preventing the first patch unit 21 from sliding too long on the bracket assembly 10, thereby preventing adjustment difficulties.

[0067] The second bending section 1122 of the second extension portion 112 is not coplanar with the third mounting section 1131 of the third extension portion 113. The second mounting section 1121 of the second extension portion 112 is connected to the third mounting section 1131 of the third extension portion 113 through the second bending section 1122. Since the second mounting section 1121 of the second extension portion 112 is not coplanar with the third mounting section 1131 of the third extension portion 113, the second bending section 1122 connects the second mounting section 1121 and the third mounting section 1131, so that the second bending section 1122 and the second mounting section 1121 form an angle. When the second mounting component 221 of the second patch unit 22 slides on the second mounting section 1121 of the second extension portion 112 to the second bending section 1122, due to the change in extension angle caused by the second bending section 1122, the second mounting component 221 of the second patch unit 22 is limited between the first mounting section 1112 of the first extension portion 111 and the second mounting section 1121 of the second extension portion 112, and cannot slide further toward the first extension portion 111 and the third extension portion 113.

[0068] As described above, due to the limitation of the first bending section 1111 and the second bending section 1122, the first patch 212 of the first patch unit 21 and the second patch 222 of the second patch unit 22 are limited within a certain range. When the wearable ear-moxibustion instrument is not worn and the wearable ear-moxibustion instrument is shaken, the first patch 212 and the second patch 222 are also kept within a certain range on the bracket 11, and will not slide randomly or collide with each other. The problem of damage to the patch assembly 20 caused by long-term adjustment or collision during use is avoided.

[0069] The third installation section 1131 and the third bending section 1132 of the third extension portion 113 both extend toward the back of the human head to fit the shape of the back of the human head. When the wearable ear-moxibustion instrument is worn at the connection between the human brain and the ear through the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 112, the wearable ear-moxibustion instrument can also be firmly worn on the human ear through the third extension portion 113.

[0070] The human body has two ears. In order to facilitate wearing and ensure consistency of therapeutic effect, it is necessary to wear two ear moxibustion instruments or an integrated ear moxibustion instrument corresponding to the two ears of the human body when performing ear therapy.

[0071] In some embodiments, two wearable ear moxibustion instruments respectively include a bracket assembly 10, a patch assembly 20, and a power supply assembly 30. The two wearable ear moxibustion instruments are independent entities, which are convenient to wear, and only need to be calibrated and worn on one ear. When only one ear needs to be treated with ear therapy or a call needs to be answered, it is easy to wear and convenient to use in life.

[0072] In some embodiments, the third bending sections 1132 of the third extensions 113 of the two wearable ear-moxibustion instruments are connected together. Alternatively, the third bending sections 1132 of the third extensions 113 of the two wearable ear-moxibustion instruments are integrally formed and connected together. In this way, the two wearable ear-moxibustion instruments can be firmly placed on the human ear and are not easy to fall off.

[0073] In some embodiments, the support 11 is cylindrical, and the support 11 is a bent column as a whole. Such a shape can make the patch component 20 move on the support component 10 more smoothly.

[0074] The positions of the first patch 212 and the second patch 222 in the patch assembly 20 are adjusted to fit the shape of the auricle in different human ears. Due to the differences in the size of the triangular fossa, scaphoid and helix regions, and the cavum concha and cymba concha regions caused by age differences and body shape differences, the first patch 212, the second patch 222, and the third patch 232 of different sizes need to be adapted. Such differences in area size cannot be achieved by adjusting the position of the patch assembly 20, and the patch assembly 20 needs to be replaced.

[0075] In some embodiments, the first mounting member 211 may include a first mounting portion 2111 and a first connecting portion 2112 and a first side portion 2113 which are parallel to each other, wherein the first connecting portion 2112 and the first side portion 2113 are respectively connected to two opposite sides of the first mounting portion 2111. That is, the first mounting portion 2111, the first connecting portion 2112 and the first side portion 2113 enclose a structure with an "n"-shaped cross section. The bend of the "n"-shaped structure is used for sliding connection to the bracket 11.

[0076] The first patch 212 is connected to the first connecting portion 2112. The first connecting portion 2112 is further away from the human ear than the first side portion 2113.

[0077] A first groove matching the cylindrical surface of the bracket 11 is formed on a surface of the first connection portion 2112 facing the bracket 11 , so that the first connection portion 2112 can slide relative to the bracket 11 .

[0078] Thereby, the first mounting member 211 can slide on the bracket 11, and the first mounting member 211 can be removed from the bracket 11. When the first patch 212 needs to be replaced with a matching one, the first patch unit 21 can be removed from the bracket 11 through the structure of the first mounting member 211, and the first patch unit 21 with a size and area matching the first patch 212 can be replaced and installed, thereby improving the adaptability of the wearable ear moxibustion instrument to different individuals.

[0079] The first mounting portion 2111 , the first connecting portion 2112 , and the first side portion 2113 may be plate-shaped or block-shaped.

[0080] To ensure that the first mounting member 211 slides more stably on the bracket 11 without sliding sideways or falling off. In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 2112 and / or the first side portion 2113 are provided with a first protrusion 21121 on the side facing the bracket 11, and the first protrusion 21121 is provided with a first groove 21122 matching the cylindrical surface of the bracket 11. That is, the top of the bracket 11 is slidably abutted in the first slide groove 2114 of the first mounting portion 2111, and the side of the bracket 11 is slidably limited in the first groove 21122 of the first connecting portion 2112 and / or the first side portion 2113, so that the first mounting member 211 can slide on the bracket 11 and maintain a high stability.

[0081] The first mounting member 211 can slide on the bracket 11 and maintain high stability. The first mounting member 211 can also rotate on the bracket 11 because it cooperates with the bracket 11 through the curved surface of the first slide slot 2114 and the first slot 21122. When the first mounting member 211 rotates on the bracket 11, the first patch 212 is driven to rotate on the bracket 11, so as to adjust the relative angle between the first patch 212 and the human ear, so that the first patch 212 fits more closely to the triangular fossa area of ​​the auricle.

[0082] In order to ensure that the first patch 212 fits tightly against the human auricle and is not easily changed in angle during use, the first mounting member 211 should be tightly mounted on the bracket 11 .

[0083] By selecting the material of the first protrusion 21121, for example, a material with a certain elasticity, the first protrusion 21121 of the first connection part 2112 and / or the first side part 2113 can be slightly elastically deformed, so that the first connection part 2112 and / or the first side part 2113 are separated from the bracket 11. When installation is required, the bracket 11 can be clamped to the first groove 21122 of the first protrusion 21121 through the first connection part 2112 and / or the first side part 2113 with slight deformation. The cylindrical surface of the bracket 11 is a smooth curved surface, and the first groove 21122 of the first protrusion 21121 adapted to the cylindrical surface of the bracket 11 is also a corresponding smooth curved surface. These smooth curved surfaces can make the first protrusion 21121 and the bracket 11 easier to disassemble.

[0084] When the first mounting member 211 slides on the bracket 11, since the bracket 11 is adapted to the shape of the human ear, the first mounting member 211 on the first extension portion 111 of the bracket 11 will slide on the bracket 11 towards the ground under the action of gravity. The first patch 212 needs to perform ear therapy on the triangular fossa area of ​​the auricle of the human ear and needs to be kept in a certain position.

[0085] To this end, the bracket 11 is provided with a plurality of first magnetic attraction points spaced apart along the extension direction of the bracket 11, and a magnetic object is disposed at each first magnetic attraction point, and a second magnetic attraction point is disposed on the corresponding first connecting portion 2112 and / or the first side portion 2113, and a magnetic object that is magnetically attracted is disposed in the second magnetic point. When the first mounting member 211 slides on the bracket 11, the second magnetic attraction point on the first connecting portion 2112 and / or the first side portion 2113 of the first mounting member 211 can be aligned with one of the first magnetic attraction points on the bracket 11 according to the required position, and the first mounting member 211 is fixed to a position of the first extension portion 111 on the bracket 11 by magnetic attraction. The first extension portion 111 of the bracket 11 has a plurality of first magnetic attraction points, that is, the first mounting member 211 has a plurality of fixable positions, so as to satisfy the sliding and positioning of the first mounting member 211 on the bracket 11.

[0086] In some embodiments, the second mounting member 221 may include a second mounting portion 2211 and a second connecting portion 2212 and a second side portion 2213 which are parallel to each other, and the second connecting portion 2212 and the second side portion 2213 are respectively connected to two opposite sides of the second mounting portion 2211. That is, the second mounting portion 2211, the second connecting portion 2212 and the second side portion 2213 enclose a structure with an "n"-shaped cross section. The bending portion of the "n"-shaped structure is used for sliding connection to the bracket 11.

[0087] The second patch 222 is connected to the second connecting portion 2212. The second connecting portion 2212 is further away from the human ear than the second side portion 2213.

[0088] A groove matching the cylindrical surface of the bracket 11 is formed on a surface of the second connection portion 2212 facing the bracket 11 , so that the second connection portion 2212 can slide relative to the bracket 11 .

[0089] Thereby, the second mounting member 221 can slide on the bracket 11, and the second mounting member 221 can be removed from the bracket 11. When the second patch 222 needs to be replaced with a matching one, the second patch unit 22 can be removed from the bracket 11 through the structure of the second mounting member 221, and the second patch unit 22 with a matching size and area can be replaced and installed, thereby improving the adaptability of the wearable ear moxibustion instrument to different individuals.

[0090] The second mounting portion 2211 , the second connecting portion 2212 , and the second side portion 2213 may be plate-shaped or block-shaped.

[0091] To ensure that the second mounting member 221 slides more stably on the bracket 11 without sliding sideways or falling off. In some embodiments, the second connection portion 2212 and / or the second side portion 2213 are provided with the second protrusion 22121 on the side facing the bracket 11, and the second protrusion 22121 is provided with the second groove 22122 matching the cylindrical surface of the bracket 11. That is, the top of the bracket 11 is slidably abutted in the second groove 22122 of the second mounting portion 2211, and the side of the bracket 11 is slidably limited in the second groove 22122 of the second connection portion 2212 and / or the second side portion 2213, so that the second mounting member 221 can slide on the bracket 11 and maintain a high stability.

[0092] By selecting the material of the second protrusion 22121, for example, a material with a certain elasticity, the second protrusion 22121 of the second connection part 2212 and / or the second side part 2213 can be slightly elastically deformed, so that the second connection part 2212 and / or the second side part 2213 can be separated from the bracket 11. When installation is required, the bracket 11 can be clamped to the second groove 22122 of the second protrusion 22121 through the second connection part 2212 and / or the second side part 2213 through slight deformation. The cylindrical surface of the bracket 11 is a smooth curved surface, and the second groove 22122 of the second protrusion 22121 that matches the cylindrical surface of the bracket 11 is also a corresponding smooth curved surface. These smooth curved surfaces can make the second protrusion 22121 and the bracket 11 easier to disassemble.

[0093] When the second mounting member 221 slides on the bracket 11, since the bracket 11 is adapted to the shape of the human ear, the second mounting member 221 on the second extension portion 112 of the bracket 11 will slide on the bracket 11 towards the ground under the action of gravity. The second patch 222 needs to be kept in a certain position for ear therapy on the scaphoid and helix regions of the auricle of the human ear.

[0094] To this end, the bracket 11 is provided with a plurality of first magnetic attraction points spaced apart along the extension direction of the bracket 11, and a magnetic object is disposed at each first magnetic attraction point, and a third magnetic attraction point is disposed on the corresponding second connecting portion 2212 and / or the second side portion 2213, and a magnetic object that is magnetically attracted is disposed in the third magnetic point. When the second mounting member 221 slides on the bracket 11, the third magnetic attraction point on the second connecting portion 2212 and / or the second side portion 2213 of the second mounting member 221 can be aligned with one of the second magnetic attraction points on the bracket 11 according to the required position, and the second mounting member 221 can be fixed to a position of the second extension portion 112 on the bracket 11 by magnetic attraction. The second extension portion 112 of the bracket 11 has a plurality of first magnetic attraction points, that is, the second mounting member 221 has a plurality of fixable positions, so as to satisfy the sliding and positioning of the second mounting member 221 on the bracket 11.

[0095] The third mounting member 231 of the third patch unit 23 is fixedly connected to the bracket 11 or the third mounting member 231 of the third patch unit 23 is slidably mounted on the bracket 11 .

[0096] When the third mounting member 231 of the third patch unit 23 is slidably mounted on the bracket 11 , the sliding manner of the third mounting member 231 on the bracket 11 is the same as that of the first mounting member 211 of the first patch unit 21 , which will not be described in detail herein.

[0097] When the third mounting member 231 of the third patch unit 23 is fixedly connected to the bracket 11, the third mounting member 231 may include a third mounting portion 2311 and a third connecting portion 2312. The third mounting portion 2311 is fixedly connected to the bracket 11, the third connecting portion 2312 is fixedly connected to the third mounting portion 2311, and the third connecting portion 2312 extends toward the human ear, and the third patch 232 is fixedly connected to the third connecting portion 2312.

[0098] Since the scaphoid and helix regions of the auricle of the human ear are large in area and extend over a long distance, the second patch 222 is adapted to the shape of the scaphoid and helix regions of the auricle of the human ear, and the second patch 222 is large in size and extends over a long distance. When the second mounting member 221 of the second patch unit 22 moves on the bracket 11, and then drives the second patch 222 to move, the second patch 222 is prone to shaking due to its size and extension distance, or when the wearable ear moxibustion instrument is shaken with the wearer, the second patch 222 is prone to contact with the outside and break.

[0099] To this end, the third mounting member 231 of the third patch unit 23 may also include a third side portion 2313. The third side portion 2313 is parallel to the third connecting portion 2312, and the third side portion 2313 and the third connecting portion 2312 are respectively connected to the two sides of the third mounting portion 2311. That is, the third side portion 2313, the third connecting portion 2312 and the third mounting portion 2311 are enclosed to form a structure with an "n"-shaped cross section. The third side portion 2313 is fixedly connected to the bracket 11, and the third mounting portion 2311 is fixedly connected to the bracket 11 through the third side portion 2313.

[0100] The second patch 222 of the second patch unit 22 is located between the third connection portion 2312 and the third side portion 2313, and a portion of the second patch 222 abuts against the third connection portion 2312. By protecting the second patch 222 on both sides of the second patch 222 by the third connection portion 2312 and the third side portion 2313, it can be ensured that the second patch 222 will not contact the outside and cause breakage. A portion of the second patch 222 is abutted against the third connection portion 2312, and a portion of the second patch 222 can be the tail of the second patch 222, the head of the second patch 222 is fixedly connected to the second mounting member 221, and the tail of the second patch 222 is abutted against the third connection portion 2312. Thus, when the second patch moves with the second mounting member 221, the second patch 222 as a whole will not shake, and the movement is relatively stable.

[0101] In some embodiments, a sliding groove 23121 with a smooth curved surface is provided on the third connection portion 2312, and a sliding protrusion 2221 is configured on the second patch 222 in the sliding groove corresponding to the third connection portion 2312. When the second patch unit 22 is mounted on the bracket 11, the sliding protrusion 2221 of the second patch 222 of the second patch unit 22 is abutted against the sliding groove 23121 of the third connection portion 2312. When the second mounting member 221 of the second patch unit 22 slides on the second extension portion 112 of the bracket 11, the second patch 222 does not move in a straight line, and the second patch 222 moves in a curved shape as a whole under the drive of the second mounting member 221. The sliding groove 23121 of the third connection portion 2312 and the sliding protrusion 2221 of the second patch 222 can adapt to this curved movement adaptively, so that the movement of the second patch 222 is smoother.

[0102] The power supply assembly 30 may include a first power supply 31, a second power supply 32, and a plurality of wires, and the bracket 11 of the bracket assembly 10 may have an accommodation space inside for accommodating the wires to pass through. The first power supply 31 and the second power supply 32 are fixedly mounted on the bracket 11 and the first power supply 31 and the second power supply 32 are electrically connected to the plurality of wires in the accommodation space inside the bracket 11, respectively.

[0103] The side wall of the bracket 11 in contact with the first mounting member 211, the second mounting member 221 and the third mounting member 231 has a plurality of first electrical contacts 114. These first electrical contacts 114 are electrically connected to the wires in the accommodation space inside the bracket 11. That is, a plurality of wires are electrically connected to the first power source 31, the second power source 32 and the plurality of first electrical contacts 114 on the bracket 11, respectively. Correspondingly, the first mounting member 211, the second mounting member 221 and the third mounting member 231 are also provided with second electrical contacts. When the first mounting member 211, the second mounting member 221 and the third mounting member 231 slide on the bracket 11, when the second electrical contacts of these mounting members contact the first electrical contacts 114 on the bracket 11, the power supply component 30 supplies power to the patch component 20 through the wire, thereby causing the patch component 20 to heat up and perform ear therapy on the human ear.

[0104] Since the first patch unit 21, the second patch unit 22 and the third patch unit 23 of the patch assembly 20 need to slide on the bracket 11 to adapt to the use needs of different people. Therefore, the number of the first electrical contacts 114 on the bracket 11 is multiple. In this way, the first patch unit 21, the second patch unit 22 and the third patch unit 23 can slide to different positions on the bracket 11 and can also be electrically connected with the power supply assembly 30, thereby generating heat.

[0105] Wires may also be provided in the first mounting member 211, the second mounting member 221 and the third mounting member 231 of the first patch unit 21, the second patch unit 22 and the third patch unit 23 of the patch assembly 20. These wires electrically connect the second electrical contact of the first mounting member 211 to the first patch 212, the second contact of the second mounting member 221 to the second patch 222, and the second electrical contact of the third mounting member 231 to the third patch 232, respectively.

[0106] The power component 30 is electrically connected to the first electrical contact 114 on the bracket 11 through the wire in the accommodating space in the bracket 11, and when the second electrical contact of the patch component 20 contacts the first electrical contact 114 of the bracket 11, the power component 30 is electrically conductive to the patch component 20. The three mounting parts of the patch component 20 are electrically connected to the second electrical contact and the three patches through the wire, thereby achieving a complete electrical connection.

[0107] The power supply assembly 30 includes the first power supply 31 and the second power supply 32. The two power supplies are used because the long-term use of electricity for heating by the electric heating wearable ear moxibustion instrument has a high requirement for battery capacity. The use of two power supplies for heating can extend the use time. In addition, the first power supply 31 and the second power supply 32 are respectively fixedly installed on the first extension part 111 and the second extension part 112 on the bracket 11, so that the wearable ear moxibustion instrument can be more stable when worn on the human ear through the bracket 11, avoiding the problem of the bracket 11 tilting in one direction due to the installation of the power supply assembly 30, thereby avoiding the problem of discomfort caused by wearing.

[0108] In some embodiments, the power supply assembly 30 may include a consistent number of the first power supply 31 and the second power supply 32, and a plurality of the first power supplies 31 and the plurality of the second power supplies 32 are fixedly mounted on the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 112 of the bracket 11, so as to meet high power requirements and weight balancing requirements.

[0109] The first patch 212, the second patch 222 and the third patch 232 of the patch assembly 20 are provided with a plurality of mounting holes 24, which are distributed throughout the patches. The configuration of these mounting holes 24 can correspond to the acupuncture points on the human auricle, and accurate acupuncture point ear therapy can be achieved when ear therapy is performed according to these mounting holes 24 in the future. For example, the user's ear auricle is scanned and identified according to the current ear acupuncture point recognition software. For example, referring to the ear acupuncture point meridian image recognition: https: / / www.zhihu.com / zvideo / 1650971224103735296, the ear acupuncture point positioning based on deep learning disclosed can identify and locate the acupuncture points that need to be treated with ear therapy, and then ear therapy can be performed at these identified and located acupuncture points. Furthermore, some visual positioning points such as coloring can be further set around the mounting hole 24, so that during the diagnosis and treatment at the patient's home, the patient and his family can also use specific software to realize real-time acupoint determination in combination with the scanned patient's ear acupoint data after wearing the wearable ear moxibustion instrument. The opening of these mounting holes 24 can provide a variety of optional ear therapy methods when these patches are in contact with the human auricle. The position distribution of these heating elements can be configured according to the identified and located auricle acupoints, and the acupoints required for ear therapy can be heated in a targeted manner, which can improve the ear therapy effect.

[0110] In some embodiments of the present application, the first patch 212, the second patch 222, and the third patch 232 are provided with circuit structures respectively connected to the mounting holes 24. The opening of these mounting holes 24 can provide a variety of optional ear therapy methods when these patches are in contact with the human auricle.

[0111] In some embodiments, electric heating elements are arranged in the mounting holes 24. The heating elements are electrically connected to the second electrical contacts of the patch assembly 20 through the wires of the patch assembly 20. The positions of the heating elements can be arranged according to the auricle acupuncture points identified and located, and the acupuncture points required for ear therapy can be heated in a targeted manner, thereby improving the ear therapy effect.

[0112] In some embodiments, the mounting holes 24 can be configured with press needles according to the identified and located acupuncture points, and acupuncture therapy can be performed by pressing the needles.

[0113] The implementation modes of the multiple embodiments can be freely combined, and the present invention is not limited in any way.

[0114] It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are only examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functional and structural principles of the present invention have been demonstrated and explained in the embodiments, and the embodiments of the present invention may be deformed or modified in any way without departing from the principles.
