Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture, and particularly to a thermostatic traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture needle for acupuncture treatment. Background Art

[0002] In the field of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture treatment, in order to achieve better treatment effects, moxa sticks are often used to heat acupuncture needles to achieve effects such as promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. However, there are some significant problems with this traditional method.

[0003] When a moxa stick burns, the temperature is difficult to precisely control. Due to its burning characteristics, it is easy to have a situation where the local temperature is too high, resulting in the patient being scalded, bringing additional pain and harm to the patient.

[0004] If the use of moxa stick heating is abandoned to avoid scalding, the curative effect of acupuncture will be greatly reduced. Because appropriate heating can enhance the stimulating effect of acupuncture, promote blood circulation and qi flow, and improve the treatment effect.

[0005] In addition, the existing heating methods are relatively complex in operation and require medical staff to have relatively high skills and experience to grasp the degree and time of heating, which increases the difficulty and uncertainty of treatment.

[0006] Moreover, the traditional heating methods lack effective protection and fixing devices for acupuncture needles, and the acupuncture needles are prone to displacement or instability during the heating process, affecting the accuracy and safety of treatment. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In order to overcome the existing problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a thermostatic traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture needle for acupuncture treatment. By sleeving a protective cylinder on the outer wall of the acupuncture needle, the problem of scalding caused by the difficult-to-control burning temperature of the moxa stick is effectively solved. The protective cylinder can isolate the high temperature generated by the burning of the moxa stick to a certain extent, reduce the heat directly transmitted to the skin, and greatly reduce the risk of the patient being scalded through the isolation of the protective cylinder, improve the safety of treatment, ensure that the acupuncture needle is evenly heated and the temperature is stable, enhance the effect of acupuncture treatment, and more effectively promote blood circulation and qi flow.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by the embodiments of the present application to solve its technical problems is:

[0009] A thermostatic traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture needle for acupuncture treatment, comprising an acupuncture needle and a protective cylinder provided on the outer wall of the acupuncture needle, the protective cylinder being sleeved on the outer wall of the acupuncture needle;

[0010] Among them, the lower surface of the protective cylinder is provided with insertion columns, and the insertion columns are engaged with the acupuncture needles. The protective cylinder and the insertion columns have non - concentric structures. The design of the protective cylinder and the insertion columns enables the device to adapt to different specifications of acupuncture needles, increasing its versatility and practicality. After the insertion columns are inserted into the acupuncture needles, one side of the protective cylinder abuts against the acupuncture needles. Due to the tight combination of the protective cylinder and the acupuncture needles, the displacement of the acupuncture needles during the treatment is reduced, improving the accuracy and stability of the treatment.

[0011] Preferably, the protective cylinder is a hollow cylindrical structure, and an moxa stick column is provided inside the protective cylinder for placing the moxa stick column to heat the acupuncture needles. Placing the moxa stick column inside the protective cylinder for combustion heating not only makes full use of the warm characteristics of the moxa stick, but also through the blocking and guiding of the protective cylinder, makes the heat more concentrated and effectively transferred to the acupuncture needles, avoiding the loss and waste of heat.

[0012] Preferably, the insertion column is a hollow cylindrical structure, and a through - hole is opened on the lower surface of the insertion column. The cross - sectional diameter of the through - hole is larger than the cross - sectional diameter of the acupuncture needle.

[0013] Preferably, a holding column is provided at the top of the acupuncture needle, and the holding column is sleeved and connected to the acupuncture needle. During acupuncture, the acupuncture needle is used for acupuncture through the holding column.

[0014] Preferably, the cross - sectional diameter of the protective cylinder is larger than that of the insertion column. The protective cylinder is made of a material with high temperature resistance and good heat conduction performance, such as ceramics or special metal alloys. Its size and shape should match the common specifications of acupuncture needles to ensure a tight socket connection.

[0015] Preferably, a number of tapered strips are provided on the lower surface of the insertion column, and the number of tapered strips is arranged in a circular pattern around the through - hole. When the insertion column is connected to the acupuncture needle, the number of tapered strips contact the acupuncture needle and change the shape of the tapered strips, making the tapered strips closely attached to the acupuncture needle.

[0016] Preferably, a number of ventilation holes are opened on the outer wall of the protective cylinder. The space inside the protective cylinder should be large enough to accommodate the moxa stick column and ensure sufficient oxygen supply during the combustion of the moxa stick. Appropriate ventilation holes can be provided on the protective cylinder.

[0017] The advantages of the embodiments of the present application are:

[0018] 1. By sleeving a protective cylinder on the outer wall of the acupuncture needle, the problem of scald caused by the difficult-to-control burning temperature of the moxa stick is effectively solved. The protective cylinder can isolate the high temperature generated by the burning of the moxa stick to a certain extent, reduce the heat directly transmitted to the skin. Through the isolation of the protective cylinder, the risk of the patient being scalded is greatly reduced, the safety of the treatment is improved, the acupuncture needle is ensured to be uniformly heated and the temperature is stable, the effect of acupuncture treatment is enhanced, and blood circulation and qi flow are more effectively promoted.

[0019] 2. The bottom end of the protective cylinder is provided with a plug-in column, and the plug-in column is mutually clamped with the acupuncture needle. At the same time, the protective cylinder and the plug-in column have a non-concentric structure, which enables the protective cylinder and the acupuncture needle to be in close contact. This tight connection method not only ensures the stability of the acupuncture needle during the heating process, reduces the possibility of displacement, but also improves the efficiency and uniformity of heat transfer, thus ensuring that the acupuncture needle can obtain a stable and appropriate temperature and enhancing the treatment effect.

[0032] The overall idea of the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application to solve the above problems is as follows:

[0033] Embodiment 1

[0034] This embodiment gives the specific structure of a thermostatic traditional Chinese acupuncture needle for acupuncture treatment, as Figure 1-7 shown, including an acupuncture needle 1 and a protective cylinder 3 provided on the outer wall of the acupuncture needle 1. The protective cylinder 3 is sleeved on the outer wall of the acupuncture needle 1;

[0035] Among them, a plug-in column 4 is provided on the lower surface of the protective cylinder 3. The plug-in column 4 is mutually clamped with the acupuncture needle 1. The protective cylinder 3 and the plug-in column 4 have different center structures. The design of the protective cylinder 3 and the plug-in column 4 enables the device to adapt to acupuncture needles 1 of different specifications, increasing its versatility and practicality. After the plug-in column 4 is inserted into the acupuncture needle 1, one side of the protective cylinder 3 abuts against the acupuncture needle 1. Due to the tight combination of the protective cylinder 3 and the acupuncture needle 1, the displacement of the acupuncture needle 1 during the treatment is reduced, and the accuracy and stability of the treatment are improved.

[0036] The protective cylinder 3 is a hollow cylindrical structure. An moxa stick column 5 is arranged inside the protective cylinder 3 for placing the moxa stick column 5 to heat the acupuncture needle 1. Placing the moxa stick column 5 inside the protective cylinder 3 for combustion heating not only makes full use of the warm characteristics of the moxa stick, but also through the block and guidance of the protective cylinder 3, the heat is more concentrated and effectively transferred to the acupuncture needle 1, avoiding heat dissipation and waste.

[0037] The insertion column 4 is a hollow cylindrical structure. A through hole 7 is opened on the lower surface of the insertion column 4, and the cross-sectional diameter of the through hole 7 is larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the acupuncture needle 1.

[0038] A holding column 2 is provided at the top end of the acupuncture needle 1. The holding column 2 is sleeved and connected with the acupuncture needle 1. During acupuncture, the acupuncture needle 1 is used for acupuncture through the holding column 2.

[0039] The cross-sectional diameter of the protective cylinder 3 is larger than that of the insertion column 4. The protective cylinder 3 is made of a material with high temperature resistance and good heat conduction performance, such as ceramics or special metal alloys. Its size and shape should match the specifications of common acupuncture needles 1 to ensure a tight sleeve connection.

[0040] Several conical strips 6 are provided on the lower surface of the insertion column 4. The several conical strips 6 are arranged around the circumference of the through hole 7. When the insertion column 4 and the acupuncture needle 1 are connected to each other, the several conical strips 6 come into contact with the acupuncture needle 1 and change the shape of the conical strips 6, so that the conical strips 6 are closely attached to the acupuncture needle 1.

[0041] By adopting the above technical solutions:

[0042] During use, first prepare the acupuncture needle 1, sleeve the protective cylinder 3 on the outer wall of the acupuncture needle 1 to ensure that the insertion column 4 is accurately clamped with the acupuncture needle 1. Then put the moxa stick column 5 into the protective cylinder 3, light the moxa stick. The heat generated by the combustion of the moxa stick is transferred to the acupuncture needle 1 through the protective cylinder 3 to achieve constant temperature heating. Then insert the acupuncture needle 1 into the corresponding acupoints of the patient, and then install the protective cylinder 3 and the insertion column 4 on the acupuncture needle 1. The insertion column 4 is provided at the bottom end of the protective cylinder 3, and the insertion column 4 is clamped with the acupuncture needle 1. At the same time, the protective cylinder 3 and the insertion column 4 are structures with different centers of circles, which enables the protective cylinder 3 to be closely abutted against the acupuncture needle 1. This tight connection method not only ensures the stability of the acupuncture needle 1 during heating, reduces the possibility of displacement, but also improves the efficiency and uniformity of heat transfer, thereby ensuring that the acupuncture needle 1 can obtain a stable and appropriate temperature, improving the treatment effect. Light the moxa stick column 5, and control the combustion degree of the moxa stick by observing the temperature change of the protective cylinder 3 or using a temperature measuring instrument to reach the ideal acupuncture heating temperature.
