Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture, and in particular to a constant-temperature traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture needle automatically inserted into the skin and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A constant temperature Chinese acupuncture needle that is automatically inserted into the skin is an innovative product that integrates modern technology with traditional Chinese acupuncture technology. It mainly includes automatic insertion function and constant temperature control function. Through innovative design and function, it brings a new experience and effect to Chinese acupuncture treatment, and becomes an important development direction and trend in the field of Chinese acupuncture in the future.

[0003] Conventional thermostatic Chinese medicine acupuncture needles that are automatically inserted into the skin are usually designed with only a mechanical structure to complete a single pressing or rotating insertion into the patient's skin. Although the insertion can be automated, the single pressing or rotating method may not be able to adapt to the skin conditions and acupuncture needs of different patients, resulting in uneven acupuncture effects.

[0004] To this end, it is necessary to propose a constant-temperature Chinese medicine acupuncture needle that can be automatically inserted into the skin with assisted insertion, combined with the detection of the insertion depth and the intelligent adjustment function, so as to further improve the accuracy and personalization level of acupuncture treatment. Summary of the invention

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a constant temperature Chinese medicine acupuncture needle that is automatically inserted into the skin and a method of using the needle. The insertion process is divided into two stages: puncturing the skin layer and drilling into the subcutaneous tissue, and combined with constant temperature control, a more accurate, safe and comfortable acupuncture treatment can be achieved.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme of the present invention is as follows: a constant temperature Chinese medicine acupuncture needle automatically inserted into the skin, comprising a positioning cylinder, one side of the positioning cylinder is connected to a storage cylinder, a plurality of acupuncture needles are arranged in the storage cylinder, and a heating component for preheating the acupuncture needles is arranged in the storage cylinder;

[0007] The top of the positioning cylinder is slidably connected to a force storage cylinder, the top of the force storage cylinder is fixedly connected to a pressing plate, a first spring is sleeved on the outer side of the force storage cylinder, one end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pressing plate and the other end is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning cylinder, an elastic rod is slidably connected inside the force storage cylinder, a clamping block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the elastic rod, a second spring is arranged between the clamping block and the bottom end of the force storage cylinder, one end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the force storage cylinder and the other end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the clamping block, a limiting assembly for limiting the downward displacement of the clamping block is arranged below the clamping block, and the limiting assembly is located in the storage cylinder and is adjusted by the displacement of the pressing plate;

[0008] A support cylinder assembly for supporting the limit assembly is also provided in the storage cylinder body. A plurality of fixing frames for fixing acupuncture needles and driving the acupuncture needles to rotate and fall into position are provided on the surface of the support cylinder assembly. A one-way rotating assembly is provided at the connection between the support cylinder assembly and the limit assembly. When the pressing plate moves downward, the one-way rotating assembly causes the limit assembly to rotate relative to the support cylinder assembly to release the limit on the block. When the pressing plate moves upward, the one-way rotating assembly causes the limit assembly and the support cylinder assembly to rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the replacement, placement and filling of the acupuncture needles.

[0009] A driving assembly for providing driving force is arranged at the bottom of the block, and a drilling assembly for realizing spiral drilling is arranged at the bottom of the driving assembly.

[0010] The technical principle of the above scheme is as follows: the acupuncture needle is preheated to an appropriate temperature through the heating component to improve the treatment effect; the energy storage cylinder is connected to the top of the positioning cylinder through the first spring to form a energy storage structure; the elastic rod and the second spring slidably connected in the energy storage cylinder constitute another layer of energy storage mechanism, which is used to provide additional thrust when the acupuncture needle is fired; the acupuncturist presses the pressing plate, the energy storage cylinder compresses the first spring, and at the same time triggers the movement of the limit assembly, releasing the limit on the block, and the elastic rod moves downward rapidly under the action of the second spring, pushing the acupuncture needle through the skin.

[0011] The above scheme has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This solution preheats the acupuncture needles to a suitable temperature by means of a heating component, which can more effectively stimulate the acupuncture points and improve the effect of acupuncture treatment. At the same time, the suitable temperature of the acupuncture needles can also reduce the discomfort of the patients during acupuncture treatment and improve the comfort of the treatment.

[0013] 2. This solution realizes the functions of automatic firing and spiral drilling of acupuncture needles into the skin through the power storage mechanism composed of the power storage cylinder, the elastic rod and the second spring, and the coordinated action of the driving assembly and the drilling assembly, simplifies the acupuncture operation process, reduces the work intensity of the acupuncturist, and improves the insertion accuracy and stability of the acupuncture needles.

[0014] 3. This solution realizes the automatic replacement and placement of acupuncture needles through the ingenious design of the support cylinder assembly, the fixing frame, the limit assembly and the one-way rotating assembly. When an acupuncture needle is fired, the next acupuncture needle will automatically rotate to the firing position and wait for the next firing, which not only improves the efficiency of acupuncture treatment, but also avoids the tedious operation of acupuncturists when replacing acupuncture needles.

[0015] Furthermore, the limit assembly includes a driven rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressing plate, an upper rotating cylinder is fixedly connected to the top wall of the storage cylinder, the bottom end of the upper rotating cylinder is rotatably connected to a limit block, the limit block is located in the moving trajectory of the card block and can be limited by the card block, and the driven rod is away from the pressing plate at one end, penetrates the top wall of the storage cylinder and extends to the inside of the upper rotating cylinder.

[0016] Beneficial effects: The fixed connection between the driven rod and the pressing plate ensures that when the acupuncturist presses the pressing plate, the driven rod can move accordingly. This mechanical linkage mechanism enables the limit block to fit with the card block accurately at the appropriate time, thereby limiting the downward displacement of the card block and ensuring that the acupuncture needle is in a stable state before firing. At the same time, when the pressing plate is released, the reverse movement of the driven rod will also drive the limit block to rotate, thereby releasing the limit on the card block, allowing the acupuncture needle to be smoothly fired under the push of the spring rod.

[0017] Furthermore, the support cylinder assembly includes a lower rotating cylinder rotatably connected to the storage cylinder body, the other end of the lower rotating cylinder is rotatably connected to the limit block through a one-way rotating assembly, and the bottom end of the driven rod passes through the top wall of the storage cylinder body and the limit block and extends into the lower rotating cylinder.

[0018] Beneficial effect: The driven rod is not only connected to the pressing plate, but also can extend into the lower rotating cylinder, which enhances the linkage of the entire mechanical structure. When the acupuncturist presses the pressing plate, the driven rod can not only push the limit block to rotate in the upper rotating cylinder, but also transmit the influence of the rotation of the lower rotating cylinder. This design makes the entire launching mechanism more compact and efficient.

[0019] Furthermore, the one-way rotation component includes a one-way bearing, the inner ring of the one-way bearing is fixedly connected to the limit block, and the outer ring of the one-way bearing is fixedly connected to the lower rotating cylinder. When the driven rod moves closer to the lower rotating cylinder, the one-way bearing can make the limit block and the lower rotating cylinder rotate relative to each other. When the driven rod moves away from the lower rotating cylinder, the one-way bearing makes the limit block and the lower rotating cylinder rotate synchronously.

[0020] Beneficial effect: The characteristic of the one-way bearing is that it only allows relative rotation in one direction, while maintaining synchronous rotation in the other direction, which means that when the driven rod moves close to the lower drum, that is, when the pressing plate is pressed, the one-way bearing can make the limit block rotate relative to the lower drum, thereby releasing the limit on the block and allowing the acupuncture needle to be fired. When the driven rod moves away from the lower drum, that is, when the pressing plate is released, the one-way bearing makes the limit block rotate synchronously with the lower drum, ensuring that the acupuncture needle can be correctly positioned and replaced.

[0021] Furthermore, a thread groove is provided on the inner wall of the limit block, and a thread engraving is provided on the outer wall of the driven rod at a position corresponding to the thread groove.

[0022] Beneficial effects: The close cooperation between the thread groove and the thread engraving realizes precise transmission and positioning functions. When the driven rod moves under the push of the pressing plate, the thread engraving will slide smoothly along the thread groove, thereby ensuring that the limit block can rotate according to the predetermined trajectory and angle, which is crucial for the firing, replacement and positioning of acupuncture needles, and helps to improve the accuracy and efficacy of acupuncture treatment.

[0023] Furthermore, the drilling assembly includes a telescopic cylinder coaxially fixedly connected to the driving assembly, a needle placement block is welded to the bottom end of the telescopic cylinder, two sliding rods are symmetrically welded to the outside of the needle placement block, and a drilling groove is provided on the inner wall of the positioning cylinder away from the storage cylinder, and the drilling groove corresponds to the movement trajectory of the two sliding rods.

[0024] Beneficial effects: The coaxial fixed connection between the telescopic cylinder and the drive assembly ensures the stability and accuracy of the acupuncture needle during the launch and drilling process. When the drive assembly is started, the telescopic cylinder will telescope along its axis, thereby driving the needle block and the acupuncture needle to move together. This stable motion trajectory helps ensure that the acupuncture needle can accurately drill into the skin and improve the efficacy of acupuncture treatment.

[0025] Furthermore, the bottom end of the needle placement block is open and an elastic layer is adhered inside the bottom end opening.

[0026] Beneficial effects: The opening design at the bottom of the needle placement block allows the acupuncture needle to be placed more firmly inside the needle placement block. Through the adhesion of the elastic layer, the acupuncture needle can be effectively fixed before firing, avoiding accidental falling off or displacement during transportation or operation. In addition, the use of the elastic layer also increases the friction between the acupuncture needle and the needle placement block, further improving the stability of the acupuncture needle before firing. This design helps ensure that the acupuncture needle can accurately drill into the skin according to the predetermined trajectory and depth, thereby improving the safety and efficacy of acupuncture treatment.

[0027] Furthermore, the heating assembly includes a plurality of heating wires fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage cylinder, and the arrangement height of the plurality of heating wires is smaller than the arrangement height of the fixing frame.

[0028] Beneficial effects: The heating wire is arranged on the inner wall of the storage cylinder and its height is lower than the fixing frame, which means that the acupuncture needles can be effectively preheated by the heat generated by the heating wire before or after being placed on the fixing frame. Preheating the acupuncture needles helps to increase their temperature, making them closer to human body temperature or the specific temperature required for treatment, thereby enhancing the efficacy of acupuncture treatment and the comfort of patients.

[0029] Furthermore, a displacement sensor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the card block, the displacement sensor signal is connected to the controller, the controller signal is connected to the display touch panel embedded in the outer wall of the positioning cylinder, and the drive component and the heating wire are both connected to the controller signal.

[0030] Beneficial effects: The introduction of the displacement sensor enables the displacement of the acupuncture needle to be monitored in real time. When the block moves due to the push of the driven rod and releases the acupuncture needle, the displacement sensor will capture this action and transmit the signal to the controller. According to the received signal, the controller can adjust the working state of the drive component in real time to ensure the accurate emission of the acupuncture needle. In addition, the display touch panel, as an interface for users to interact with the device, can display key information such as the state of the acupuncture needle, the emission progress, and the heating temperature. Acupuncturists can easily set treatment parameters such as the emission depth and heating temperature of the acupuncture needle through the touch panel, and check the treatment progress in real time, which can improve the ease of use and user satisfaction of the device.

[0031] A method for using a thermostatic Chinese medicine acupuncture needle that is automatically inserted into the skin comprises the following steps:

[0032] S1. Preheating: The acupuncturist drives the heating wire through the controller to preheat the inside of the storage cylinder. The preheating time is determined according to the specific treatment needs;

[0033] S2. Determine acupuncture points and install acupuncture needles: The acupuncturist accurately determines the location and number of acupuncture points according to TCM theory and the patient's symptoms, and then uses alcohol or other suitable disinfectants to thoroughly disinfect the patient's skin. Then, the acupuncture needles are inserted into the fixing frame according to the number of acupuncture points. Finally, according to the acupuncture sequence, the bottom end of the positioning cylinder is attached to the patient's skin according to the angle of the acupuncture points to locate the good points;

[0034] S3, puncture the skin layer: After the acupuncturist completes the positioning, he / she continues to press the pressing plate and observes the displacement trend of the spring rod in real time;

[0035] S4, subcutaneous penetration: When the spring rod suddenly drops, keep pressing the pressing plate, and input the required penetration depth through the display touch panel. The controller calculates the deviation between the current position of the acupuncture needle and the preset position in real time, and drives the drive component to start, so that the acupuncture needle rotates and drops to the specified depth;

[0036] S5. Acupuncture is completed: When the depth of the acupuncture needle reaches the preset insertion depth, the drive assembly will rotate in the opposite direction under the control of the controller, and the acupuncture needle will detach from the needle block and remain in the patient's acupuncture point. The acupuncturist can observe the slowly decreasing depth data through the touch screen. When the displayed depth data returns to zero, the acupuncturist lifts the spring rod, waits until he feels the vibration of the block being restricted again, and finally releases the pressing plate, completing an acupuncture process.

[0037] Beneficial effects: Through precise acupoint positioning and automated acupuncture needle launching and drilling process, the error and uncertainty of human operation are reduced, and the accuracy and efficiency of acupuncture treatment are improved. In addition, the acupuncture needles are preheated to the appropriate temperature before being inserted into the skin, which helps to enhance the treatment effect and reduce patient discomfort.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0048] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0049] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:

[0050] Embodiment 1:

[0051] As attached Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown: A constant temperature Chinese medicine acupuncture needle that is automatically inserted into the skin includes a positioning cylinder 1, one side of the positioning cylinder 1 is connected to a storage cylinder 2, the storage cylinder 2 is welded to the positioning cylinder 1 as an integral body, and the storage cylinder 2 is used to load and store multiple acupuncture needles and can be filled with acupuncture needles for insertion.

[0052] Since the skin thickness of different patients is different, the resistance encountered by the insertion of acupuncture needles is different. When designing the mechanism for inserting the skin, conventional acupuncture needles with automatic insertion function only consider piercing or drilling, which makes it difficult to complete the insertion efficiently. When encountering patients with thicker skin, there is a problem of insertion failure. In order to achieve the efficiency and accuracy of the key step of piercing the skin, the present invention deeply studies the essence of traditional acupuncture skills and cleverly integrates it into modern mechanical design. It is specifically embodied in two closely connected but independent action stages: piercing the skin and subsequent drilling into the subcutaneous tissue.

[0053] In order to realize the operation of piercing the skin, the top of the positioning cylinder 1 is designed to be slidably connected with the energy storage cylinder 3 through a slider slot structure, and a pressing plate 4 is welded to the top of the energy storage cylinder 3. A first spring 5 is sleeved on the outside of the energy storage cylinder 3, one end of the first spring 5 is welded to the bottom end of the pressing plate 4 and the other end is welded to the top of the positioning cylinder 1, and an elastic rod 6 is slidably connected to the energy storage cylinder 3 through a slider slot structure, and a clamping block 7 is welded to the bottom end of the elastic rod 6. A second spring 8 is provided between the clamping block 7 and the bottom end of the energy storage cylinder 3, one end of the second spring 8 is welded to the bottom end of the energy storage cylinder 3 and the other end is welded to the side wall of the clamping block 7. In addition, a driven rod 9 corresponding to the position of the storage cylinder 2 is welded to the bottom surface of the pressing plate 4, and an upper rotating cylinder 10 is welded inside the storage cylinder 2, and the bottom end of the driven rod 9 passes through the top wall of the storage cylinder 2 and extends to the inside of the upper rotating cylinder 10 The bottom end of the upper rotating cylinder 10 is rotatably connected to the limiting block 11 through a bidirectional bearing. The limiting block 11 is located in the moving trajectory of the block 7 and can be limited by the block 7; when the acupuncturist applies pressure to the pressing plate 4, under the action of the first spring 5, the energy storage cylinder 3 will slide downward with the pressing plate 4, and the downward force will drive the block 7 to move downward together through the transmission of the second spring 8. When the block 7 encounters the limiting block 11 during the downward movement, the interaction between the two constitutes a brake, and the continuous pressure on the pressing plate 4 will be stored in the gradually compressed first spring 5 and second spring 8. At this time, it is only necessary to release the limiting effect of the limiting block 11 to release the pressure stored in the first spring 5 and the second spring 8, thereby ejecting the spring rod 6 and the block 7 downward.

[0054] To release the limiting function of the limiting block 11, a one-way bearing 12 is provided at the bottom of the limiting block 11, the inner ring of the one-way bearing 12 is welded to the limiting block 11, the outer ring of the one-way bearing 12 is welded with a lower rotating cylinder 13, the inner wall of the limiting block 11 is provided with a thread groove 14, and the outer wall of the driven rod 9 is provided with a thread groove 15 at a position corresponding to the thread groove 14. The shape of the limiting block 11 is as follows Figure 5As shown, when the driven rod 9 moves following the downward displacement of the pressing plate 4, the thread 15 on the outer wall of the driven rod 9 will slide along the thread groove 14, that is, when the acupuncturist presses the pressing plate 4 to move downward, the limit block 11 will rotate along the direction of the thread groove 14. According to the shape of the limit block 11, as the limit block 11 rotates, its limiting effect on the block 7 gradually weakens. When the rotation reaches a certain angle, the limiting effect of the limit block 11 on the block 7 will be released. At this moment, the energy stored in the first spring 5 and the second spring 8 is instantly released, pushing the spring rod 6 and the block 7 to eject downward at an extremely high speed, simulating the action of quickly piercing the skin in traditional acupuncture, which not only ensures the accurate insertion of the acupuncture needle, but also improves the efficiency and success rate of the operation.

[0055] In order to achieve the operation of drilling into the subcutaneous tissue, it is first necessary to consider the fixing effect of the device on the acupuncture needle. The bottom end of the block 7 is designed to be fixedly connected to a servo motor by a screw. The output shaft of the servo motor is coaxially fixedly connected to a telescopic cylinder 16 through a coupling. A needle placement block 17 is welded to the bottom end of the telescopic cylinder 16. The bottom end of the needle placement block 17 is open and an elastic layer 18 is adhered to the bottom opening. The design of the elastic layer 18, on the one hand, when the block 7 falls at a high speed with the device, its unique material and structural design can quickly and effectively clamp the acupuncture needle tightly into the needle placement block 17, which provides a good effect. The friction between the high-mounted needle block 17 and the acupuncture needle ensures the stability of the acupuncture needle during the subsequent rotational drive process. On the other hand, the elasticity and recovery performance of the elastic layer 18 enable it to deform moderately after being subjected to external force (such as the drilling action of the acupuncture needle) after the acupuncture needle completes the operation of drilling into the subcutaneous tissue, and then quickly returns to its original state when the acupuncture needle stops advancing, thereby smoothly retaining the acupuncture needle under the patient's skin, ensuring the accuracy of acupuncture treatment, avoiding accidental movement or falling off of the acupuncture needle in the skin, and improving the safety and reliability of treatment.

[0056] Then, the subcutaneous drilling operation is achieved by designing two sliding rods 19 to be symmetrically welded on the outer side of the needle placement block 17, and a drilling slot 20 is provided on the inner wall of the positioning cylinder 1 away from the storage cylinder 2. The drilling slot 20 corresponds to the movement trajectory of the two sliding rods 19. When the servo motor drives the needle placement block 17 to rotate along the drilling slot 20 driven by the sliding rods 19 on both sides, and the design of the telescopic cylinder 16 cooperates with the spiral downward design of the drilling slot 20 to effectively deliver the acupuncture needle into the subcutaneous tissue, and the spiral trajectory reduces the resistance and discomfort during the drilling process, thereby improving the comfort and safety of the treatment.

[0057] In addition, acupuncture is an ancient and effective treatment method, and its process is often not limited to the stimulation of a single acupoint. In order to meet the needs of multi-acupoint acupuncture treatment, the outer wall of the lower rotating cylinder 13 is designed to be welded with a number of fixing frames 21 along its circumference, and the fixing frames 21 are all equipped with acupuncture needles. In particular, during the process of the acupuncture needle piercing the patient's skin, the acupuncturist needs to continue pressing the pressing plate 4 to ensure that the acupuncture needle can stably and deeply penetrate the acupoint. After the servo motor completes the subcutaneous drilling of an acupoint, the acupuncturist presses the pressing plate 4 while lifting the spring rod 6 to return the spring rod 6 and the limit block 11 to their original positions, and then releases the pressing plate 4. At this time, the pressing plate 4 is slowly lifted by the support force restored by the first spring 5 and the second spring 8, and the driven rod 9 rises with the rise of the pressing plate 4. At this time, the sliding of the thread engraving 15 and the thread groove 14 will cause the limit block 11 to rotate along the falling direction. The one-way bearing 12 rotates in the opposite direction, and due to the design of the one-way bearing 12, the outer ring of the one-way bearing 12 rotates relative to the inner ring when the driven rod 9 falls. Therefore, the limit block 11 can rotate relative to the lower rotating cylinder 13, and when the driven rod 9 rises, the relative rotation of the outer ring and the inner ring of the one-way bearing 12 will be restricted. Therefore, the limit block 11 will drive the lower rotating cylinder 13 to rotate synchronously during the rising process, and finally presents the effect that the lower rotating cylinder 13 is stationary during the insertion process and rotates during the rising process to supplement and replace the acupuncture needles. The resetting rotation is used to achieve effective supplementation and replacement of the acupuncture needles, thereby improving the efficiency and comfort of the acupuncture treatment process. Patients can enjoy continuous and stable acupuncture treatment while experiencing a smoother and more comfortable experience.

[0058] In order to improve the patient's comfort during acupuncture, the inner wall of the storage cylinder 2 is designed to be fixedly connected with a plurality of heating wires 22. The arrangement height of the plurality of heating wires 22 is less than the arrangement height of the fixing frame 21. By preheating the acupuncture needles with the heating wires 22, the temperature of the acupuncture needles can be effectively increased to make it closer to the human body temperature, thereby reducing the irritation and discomfort to the patient's skin during acupuncture. Improving the patient's comfort also helps acupuncturists to perform acupuncture operations more smoothly and improve treatment efficiency. In addition, studies have shown that appropriate temperature can improve the stimulation effect of acupuncture on human acupoints, thereby enhancing the efficacy of acupuncture. Therefore, by preheating the acupuncture needles with the heating wires 22, patients can enjoy a more comfortable treatment process while obtaining more significant treatment effects.

[0059] Embodiment 2:

[0060] As attached Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the difference from Example 1 is that, since the depth of acupuncture is determined according to the needs of different acupoints, the specific conditions of the disease and individual differences, in order to further improve the accuracy of acupuncture, a displacement sensor 23 is designed to be provided on the bottom surface of the card block 7, and the transmitting end of the displacement sensor 23 is welded to the bottom surface of the card block 7, and the receiving end of the displacement sensor 23 is welded to the top surface of the needle placement block 17. The displacement sensor 23 signal is connected to the controller, and the side wall of the positioning cylinder 1 is inlaid with a display touch panel 24, and the display touch panel 24 is connected to the controller signal. In addition, the servo motor is also connected to the controller signal. The acupuncturist can enter the required insertion depth through the display touch panel 24, and the controller can calculate the deviation between the current position of the acupuncture needle and the preset position in real time, and drive the servo motor to adjust it, so as to ensure that the acupuncture needle can accurately insert the acupuncture point according to the predetermined trajectory and depth, improve the accuracy and intelligence level of acupuncture, and provide acupuncturists with a more intuitive and convenient operation method. During the acupuncture process, the acupuncturist can monitor the position and depth of the acupuncture needle in real time through the display touch panel 24 and make timely adjustments as needed.

[0061] Embodiment 3:

[0062] As attached Figure 6 As shown, a method for using a thermostatic Chinese medicine acupuncture needle that is automatically inserted into the skin comprises the following steps:

[0063] S1. Preheating: Turn on the heating wire 22 function in the device to preheat the acupuncture needles in the storage cylinder 2. The preheating time depends on the specific treatment needs. It is usually necessary to ensure that the temperature of the acupuncture needles is close to the human body temperature to reduce irritation and discomfort to the patient's skin.

[0064] S2. Determine the acupuncture points and install the acupuncture needles: The acupuncturist accurately determines the acupuncture points according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and the patient's symptoms, and then thoroughly disinfects the patient's skin with alcohol or other suitable disinfectants to reduce the risk of infection. Then, the bottom end of the positioning cylinder 1 is attached to the patient's skin according to the angle of the acupuncture point to locate the good point and ensure that the acupuncture needle is stable and easy to pop out.

[0065] S3, piercing the skin layer: After the acupuncturist completes the positioning, he / she continues to press the pressing plate 4 to make the spring rod 6 store energy and fire, impacting the acupuncture needle, so as to simulate the action of quickly piercing the skin in traditional acupuncture, ensuring that the acupuncture needle can accurately penetrate the skin.

[0066] S4. Drilling into the subcutaneous layer: The acupuncturist enters the required insertion depth through the display touch panel 24 and continuously presses the pressing plate 4. The controller can calculate the deviation between the current position of the acupuncture needle and the preset position in real time, and drive the servo motor to drill, thereby ensuring that the acupuncture needle can accurately penetrate the acupuncture point according to the predetermined trajectory and depth.

[0067] S5. Acupuncture is completed: when the depth of the acupuncture needle reaches the preset insertion depth, the servo motor will rotate in the opposite direction under the control of the controller, and the acupuncture needle will detach from the needle placement block 17 and remain in the patient's acupuncture point. The acupuncturist can observe the slowly decreasing depth data through the touch screen. When the displayed depth data returns to zero, the acupuncturist lifts the spring rod 6, and after feeling the vibration of the block 7 being limited again, he releases the pressing plate 4 to complete an acupuncture process.
