The subsequent description of the specification is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the description is based on the general principles of the specification and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the attached claims.

[0023] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, several specific embodiments will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and each of the accompanying drawings does not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] For a better understanding, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the present invention discloses a cupping jar capable of releasing fascia, comprising: Tank, where The tank body includes a tank bottom 1, a tank wall 2 and a tank mouth 3. n tank wall protrusions 4 are distributed along the circumference of the tank wall. Every two adjacent tank wall protrusions are distributed at an angle of 360 degrees / n on the tank wall, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 2. The curvature of each tank wall protrusion is greater than the curvature of the tank wall. The raised external shape of each can wall matches the surface structure of the target area for fascial release. Each tank wall protrusion is a hollow structure.

[0025] Regarding the above embodiments, it should be noted that the raised tank walls with the above characteristics are not available in traditional fire cupping in the prior art. When the fire cupping disclosed in the present invention is in use, heat is transferred to the body surface of the object to be physiotherapied by the fire cupping (such as a patient) through the hollow structure of the raised tank walls and the wall thickness of the tank walls. At the same time, by utilizing the external morphology of the raised tank walls, acupoints, etc. between the fascia, muscle gaps, and bone gaps in the target fascia area or target muscle area are pressed, flicked, or scraped. Thus, the fire cupping disclosed in the present invention has the thermal effect of coupled cupping and the fascia release effect under the thermal effect, thereby being able to significantly improve the physiotherapy effect.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the fire cupping capable of fascia release, with the tank bottom as a reference, the tank wall 2 is formed by the tank bottom 1 extending laterally to both sides and longitudinally towards the tank mouth 3. Preferably, the tank wall is an arc-shaped tank wall, which has a first curvature, and the raised tank wall 4 has a second curvature greater than the first curvature.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the fire cupping capable of fascia release, the highest point of the raised tank wall 4 forms a smooth arc-shaped ridge line.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the fire cupping capable of fascia release, the fire cupping has a centrosymmetric structure.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the fire cupping capable of fascia release, the external morphologies of at least two raised tank walls have different shapes and / or sizes to match the body surface structures of different target fascia areas or target muscle areas.

[0030] It should be noted that the fire cupping disclosed in this embodiment acts more specifically on different body surface parts through the raised tank walls with different shapes and / or sizes to improve the physiotherapy effect.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the fire cupping capable of fascia release, the wall thickness of the entire tank body is the same everywhere.

[0032] Preferably, the wall thickness of the raised tank wall is the same as that of other parts of the tank wall. In this way, traditional cupping physiotherapy can be performed on the object to be physiotherapied by the fire cupping (such as a patient) and the fascia release physiotherapy under the thermal effect disclosed in the present invention according to the same heat tolerance. However, it should be pointed out that the present invention does not exclude that the wall thickness of the raised tank wall can also be different from that of other parts of the tank wall, which is beneficial to implementing fascia release physiotherapy through personalized thermal effects. Furthermore, the wall thicknesses of different raised tank walls can also be different, so as to act on the body surface structures of different target fascia areas or target muscle areas through more personalized thermal effects and more personalized fascia release physiotherapy.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of the cupping jar capable of fascial release, a plurality of bumps are arranged in an array on the raised portion of the jar wall to further provide personalized and targeted physiotherapy.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the cupping jar capable of fascial release, the jar mouth 3 is provided with a flanging extending outwards. The flanging is beneficial to increasing the contact area between the mouth end and the human body during the use of the cupping jar, thereby improving the airtightness. For example, on the end face of the jar mouth facing the target area of fascial release, a flanging extending outwards is provided to increase the contact area between the end face of the jar mouth and the human body.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the cupping jar capable of fascial release, a neck-expanding connection is provided between the jar mouth and the jar wall. During the transition from the jar mouth to the jar wall, the outer diameter gradually expands to enhance the anti-deformation ability of the jar body, forming a basis for negative pressure sealing.

[0036] Furthermore, the neck-expanding connection follows the following empirical formula: , where, W represents the contact surface width, θ represents the neck-expanding angle, D neck represents the diameter of the jar wall at the neck-expanding portion, D mouth represents the diameter of the jar mouth.

[0037] Exemplarily, the neck-expanding angle is about 10 degrees, for example, 5 degrees to 15 degrees, and the contact surface width ≥ 8 mm.

[0038] Among them, the above empirical formula is derived based on abstracting the transition section from the jar wall to the jar mouth as a frustum of a cone (truncated cone). The specific derivation process is as follows: The diameter change amount of the neck-expanding section is: , The corresponding radius difference is: , In the frustum of a cone, the included angle between the generatrix and the axis is θ. According to the trigonometric function relationship: tanθ = opposite side / adjacent side = ΔR / W, From this, it can be obtained that .

[0039] Therefore, when the neck-expanding angle θ increases, tanθ increases and W decreases. That is to say, a relatively steep neck-expanding angle (such as θ = 15 degrees) can shorten the length of the transition section and save space; a relatively gentle angle (such as θ = 5 degrees) prolongs the contact surface and enhances the sealing performance.

[0040] In addition, as can be seen from the above derivation, when the necking angle is selected, for every 1 mm increase in the diameter difference ΔD, the contact surface width W needs to be adjusted synchronously to maintain the angle θ. Further, by adjusting the contact surface width, the sealing pressure F per unit area of the cupping jar can also be controlled. 密封 That is, to control the maximum value of the sealing pressure P to avoid soft tissue damage during the use of the cupping jar.

[0041] Among them, the relationship between the contact surface width W and the sealing pressure P is as follows: .

[0042] For the above formula, when the sealing pressure P has a maximum value (for example, according to the maximum tolerable pressure of human soft tissue, 25 kPa), the contact surface width W takes the minimum value. Thus, the minimum value of the contact surface width W is limited by the above formula.

[0043] For the above formula, the contact surface between the cupping jar and the body surface is considered as an annular contact surface, and the area A of the annular contact surface is as follows: A = perimeter * contact surface width = π * D mouth *W.

[0044] Furthermore, considering that after the cupping jar mouth contacts the body surface, under the action of force, the actual contact area increases due to soft tissue deformation, resulting in a decrease in the sealing pressure P. Therefore, the present invention further introduces a pressure correction coefficient k, 0 < k < 1, and the actual sealing pressure P_actual = k * P. After verification, k = 0.6 - 0.8 is taken. Among them, when the target area is mostly loose muscles, k is taken as 0.6; when the target area is mostly tense fascia, k is taken as 0.8; when the target area is mostly loose muscles, its k value is smaller than that when the target area is mostly tense fascia, because the smaller k is, the more the actual contact area increases due to soft tissue deformation. Thus, by introducing the pressure correction coefficient k, the minimum value of the contact surface width W is calculated according to the maximum value of the actual sealing pressure P_actual (for example, according to the maximum tolerable pressure of human soft tissue, 25 kPa).

[0045] In the preferred embodiment of the cupping jar capable of fascial release, the arc-shaped jar wall is a spherical wall.

[0046] In the preferred embodiment of the cupping jar capable of fascial release, the contour of the raised jar wall is arc-shaped.

[0047] In the preferred embodiment of the cupping jar capable of fascial release, the contour of the raised jar wall is ear-shaped.

[0048] In the preferred embodiment of the cupping jar capable of fascial release, the raised jar wall 4 is an ellipsoidal shape protruding outward from the jar wall.

[0049] In the preferred embodiment of the cupping jar capable of fascial release, the outer diameter of the jar mouth is greater than that of the jar bottom. This is beneficial to enhancing the friction during the use of the cupping jar and helps to improve the stability when holding the jar body.

[0050] See Figure 5 、 Figure 6 , in the preferred embodiment of the cupping jar capable of fascial release, a plurality of jar mouth protrusions 5 are evenly arranged on the jar mouth and face the target area for fascial release.

[0051] It should be noted that the jar mouth protrusions with the above characteristics are also not available in traditional cupping jars in the prior art. The plurality of jar mouth protrusions are used to adjust the massage intensity for acupoints, fascia or muscles during moving cupping, especially to increase the massage intensity. Preferably, the height of the jar mouth protrusion is 1-2 mm. In this way, after contacting the human body surface, with the applied force, without affecting the airtightness, the jar mouth protrusion can adjust the massage intensity for acupoints, fascia or muscles during moving cupping.

[0052] In the preferred embodiment of the cupping jar capable of fascial release, the plurality of jar mouth protrusions are a plurality of solid semi-ellipsoids.

[0053] In the preferred embodiment of the cupping jar capable of fascial release, the cupping jar is integrally formed of glass.

[0054] Preferably, the diameter of the jar mouth gradually expands to the jar wall, forming a smooth and continuous transition. There is no necking in the transition section from the jar mouth to the jar wall, and the thermal expansion gradient is gentle. This kind of transition is equivalent to continuous neck expansion, which is beneficial to forming a uniform stiffness distribution on the jar body, without stiffness mutation, not easily inducing fatigue cracks, and there is no obvious stress concentration. The wall thickness is easy to control during glass blowing, especially suitable for the cupping jar integrally formed of glass.

[0055] In the preferred embodiment of the cupping jar capable of fascial release, the diameter of the jar wall gradually shrinks to the diameter of the jar bottom, forming a smooth and continuous transition, which also helps to make the thermal expansion gradient gentle and the stiffness evenly distributed.

[0056] In the preferred embodiment of the cupping jar capable of fascial release, in addition to the aforementioned transition from the jar mouth to the jar wall and from the jar wall to the jar bottom, the geometric optimization at the connection between the jar wall protrusion and the jar wall is the key to ensuring the structural rigidity and compressive capacity. Specifically: Let the radius of curvature of the protrusion be , the radius of curvature of the jar wall be , and the radius of the transition arc from the jar wall to the jar wall protrusion be . According to the principle of curvature superposition and the principle of simplifying the transition arc, the radius of the transition arc from the jar wall to the jar wall protrusion When the following constraint conditions are met, the curvature mutation can be eliminated as much as possible: .

[0057] Furthermore, through simulation analysis, the length of the transition zone shall satisfy the following constraint conditions: , wherein, is the thickness of the tank wall.

[0058] Furthermore, the wall thickness at the junction of the tank wall bulge and the tank wall should be slightly greater than the thickness of the tank wall to enhance the compressive resistance. Through simulation analysis, the wall thickness at the junction of the tank wall bulge and the tank wall can be additionally 10% - 20% thicker than the thickness of the tank wall.

[0059] Furthermore, through simulation analysis, for n tank wall bulges evenly distributed circumferentially on the tank wall, the center distance S between adjacent tank wall bulges needs to satisfy the following constraint conditions to prevent the superposition of the stress field: , It can be understood that the constraint condition of the center distance S actually limits the number n of the tank wall bulges. This is in line with the design requirements because increasing the number of tank wall bulges is not conducive to the rigidity and compressive resistance of the entire tank body.

[0060] In summary, it can be further understood that when the fire pot is made of glass, the annealing temperature and annealing time in the annealing process are based on eliminating residual stress.
