Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, in particular to a pulse acupuncture instrument for acupoint stimulation. Background Art

[0002] Traditional acupuncture regulates Qi and blood and dredges meridians through acupuncture to achieve the purpose of treating diseases, but there are problems such as pain and needle dizziness. In order to solve the problems of traditional acupuncture, pulse acupuncture instruments for acupoint stimulation have come into being. Pulse acupuncture instruments for acupoint stimulation are a medical device that integrates traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture theory with modern electronic technology. It uses electronic equipment to generate pulse current to simulate the stimulation effect of traditional acupuncture.

[0003] However, existing pulse acupuncture instruments for acupoint stimulation have certain defects during use. Most existing pulse acupuncture instruments for acupoint stimulation can only provide single pulse acupuncture stimulation, and there is no composite stimulation mode that combines pulse electrical stimulation with massage; the acupuncture heads of existing pulse acupuncture instruments for acupoint stimulation have problems with connection. On the one hand, the connection method is not stable enough and may become loose during use, affecting the treatment effect. On the other hand, the operation is complicated when replacing the acupuncture head and may require the use of tools, which reduces clinical work efficiency; the acupuncture heads of existing pulse acupuncture instruments for acupoint stimulation are easy to be installed upside down, which leads to reverse connection of electrodes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a pulse acupuncture instrument for acupoint stimulation.

[0005] The present invention solves the technical problem by adopting a technical solution: a pulse acupuncture instrument for acupoint stimulation, comprising a housing, a mounting tube, and an acupuncture head. The housing is T-shaped and streamlined. By adopting the T-shaped housing design and the overall streamlined appearance, the pulse acupuncture instrument achieves a perfect fusion of operational convenience and ergonomics. The mounting tube is embedded and fixed at the bottom end of the longitudinal portion of the housing, and the acupuncture head is snap-fitted onto the mounting tube. The bottom end of the acupuncture head is provided with a pulse needle capable of generating pulse current to stimulate acupoints.

[0006] Among them, grooves are provided at both ends of the bottom of the acupuncture head, and massage heads are telescopically fitted in the two grooves at both ends of the bottom of the acupuncture head. The bottom ends of the two massage heads are rollingly fitted with massage balls, and the pulse needle is located in the middle of the two massage balls. The pulse acupuncture instrument for acupoint stimulation innovatively combines the pulse needle and the massage balls, which achieves the effect of integrating nerve electrical stimulation therapy with traditional acupoint massage techniques. This composite stimulation mode can effectively increase the local blood flow of the acupoints. Compared with single pulse acupuncture treatment, the pain is relieved faster. Ball massage can effectively improve the microcirculation of the tissues around the acupoints, enhance the penetration efficiency of the pulse current, and achieve a synergistic effect. The bottom end of the longitudinal part of the shell is provided with a rubber protective sleeve, which is provided on the bottom end of the longitudinal part of the shell. Its main function is to protect the acupuncture head and the pulse needle to prevent contamination, damage or accidental collision when not in use.

[0007] Preferably, the interior of the housing is hollow, and a PLC controller module, a power supply module, a pulse output circuit, a timer module, and an audio module are provided inside the housing. The PLC controller module is the control core of the entire instrument and can accurately control the pulse output circuit to generate pulse electricity of a specific frequency, amplitude, and waveform. The power supply module provides stable power support for the entire instrument. The timer module can accurately control the output time of the pulse current. The audio module can provide a prompt tone during the treatment process to remind the user of the start, end, and time interval of the treatment.

[0008] Preferably, a display screen is installed on one side of the exterior of the housing, and a switch button, a timing button, and a volume adjustment button are installed on one side of the exterior of the housing below the display screen. The display screen can intuitively display the operating status and parameter settings of the instrument, such as pulse intensity, treatment time, remaining time, etc., so that the user can clearly understand the treatment progress and the operation status of the instrument and adjust it according to their own needs. The switch button is used to turn the instrument on or off. The timing button is used to set and control the treatment time. The volume adjustment button is used to adjust the volume of the audio module. The user can adjust the volume of the prompt tone according to their own preferences and environmental requirements.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the transverse portion of the housing is rotatably fitted with an adjustment wheel for adjusting the pulse output size. The edge of the adjustment wheel has anti-slip protrusions, and one side of the adjustment wheel is marked with scales and values. The user can precisely control the pulse current intensity generated by the pulse output circuit by rotating the adjustment wheel. The edge of the adjustment wheel has anti-slip protrusions. This structural setting can increase the friction between the user's fingers and the adjustment wheel, preventing slipping during the adjustment process and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the adjustment operation. The one side of the adjustment wheel is marked with scales and values. The user can intuitively understand the current pulse current intensity based on the scales and values, facilitating precise adjustment and recording.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting barrel has several fixed slots at both ends, and an L-shaped spring clip is fixed to each end of the acupuncture head. The tops of the two spring clips are fixed with blocks that match the fixed slots. The fixed slots at both ends of the mounting barrel and the blocks of the spring clips at both ends of the acupuncture head form a precise locking mechanism. When actually replacing the acupuncture head, the operator only needs to gently press the L-shaped structure of the spring clip, and the block will smoothly disengage from the fixed slot. The entire process does not require any tools.

[0011] Preferably, a conductive contact 1 is provided on the inner wall of the top of the mounting tube, and a conductive contact 2 is provided on the top of the acupuncture head. When the acupuncture head is installed on the mounting tube, the conductive contact 1 and the conductive contact 2 are in contact to conduct the pulse current. The contact design of the conductive contact 1 and the conductive contact 2 is different from the traditional plug-in method. On the one hand, this can ensure the effective transmission of the pulse signal, and on the other hand, it avoids the problem of poor contact in the traditional plug-in method after multiple plug-ins.

[0012] Preferably, a positioning strip is vertically fixed on one side of the interior of the installation cylinder, and a positioning slot adapted to the positioning strip is provided on one side of the exterior of the acupuncture head, and the positioning strip slides in the positioning slot. The sliding fit between the positioning strip and the positioning slot provides precise axial guidance for the installation of the acupuncture head. In addition, the unique design of the positioning strip and the positioning slot completely eliminates the possibility of the acupuncture head being installed upside down. Traditional designs are prone to reverse connection of electrodes due to incorrect directions, while this design limits the installation direction in terms of physical structure through the precise fit of a single positioning strip and the positioning slot. When the acupuncture head is correctly installed, conductive contact 1 and conductive contact 2 are precisely docked.

[0013] Preferably, the two grooves at both ends of the bottom of the acupuncture head are provided with springs, the top ends of the two springs are respectively fixed to the top inner walls of the two grooves of the acupuncture head, and the two massage heads are respectively connected to the bottom of the springs.

[0014] Preferably, limit slots are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the bottom groove of the acupuncture head, and a number of limit sliders adapted to the limit slots are installed on both sides of the massage head, and the limit sliders slide and fit in the limit slots. The massage heads are elastically connected by springs and constrained by the limit sliders and the limit slots. When the user presses the acupuncture head on the acupuncture point, the massage heads on both sides first contact the skin and begin to compress the springs. The progressive compression characteristics of the spring enable the massage head to automatically adjust the extension length according to the bulge or depression of the local muscle, adapting to the acupuncture point depth requirements of patients of different body shapes. The linear motion trajectory of the limit slider in the limit slot ensures that the massage head always maintains a perpendicular force on the tissues surrounding the acupuncture point during the extension and retraction process, avoiding deviation in the massage direction.

[0015] Preferably, a hanging hole is provided at one end of the transverse portion of the shell, and a hand rope is passed through the hanging hole. This design provides a more convenient way of carrying for the user. In addition, the setting of the hanging hole and the hand rope also facilitates the storage and hanging of the instrument.

[0016] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0017] (1) In the present invention, the pulse acupuncture instrument for acupoint stimulation innovatively combines the pulse needle and the massage ball, achieving the effect of integrating nerve electrical stimulation therapy with traditional acupoint massage techniques. The pulse current generated by the pulse needle stimulates the acupoint body with precise waveform parameters, activating the circulation of qi and blood in the meridians. At the same time, the massage balls on both sides, with the elastic support of the spring, apply soft and continuous rolling pressure to the tissues around the acupoints when under pressure. The spherical structure of the massage balls allows the massage contact area to change dynamically, which can not only avoid skin bruises caused by the hard pressure of traditional massage sticks, but also produce an effect similar to "small-scale kneading" through rolling friction. This composite stimulation mode can effectively increase the local blood flow of the acupoints, and the pain relief speed is faster than that of single pulse acupuncture treatment. The ball massage can effectively improve the microcirculation of the tissues around the acupoints, enhance the penetration efficiency of the pulse current, and achieve a synergistic effect.

[0018] (2) In the present invention, the mounting tube of the pulse acupuncture instrument for acupoint stimulation is cleverly matched with the various structures of the acupuncture head, and the connection method is highly stable and easy to replace. The fixed slots at both ends of the mounting tube and the clamping blocks of the springs at both ends of the acupuncture head form a precise locking mechanism. The operator only needs to lightly press the "L"-shaped structure of the spring, and the clamping block can be smoothly removed from the fixed slot. The entire process does not require the use of any tools, which greatly improves clinical work efficiency.

[0019] (3) In the present invention, the sliding cooperation between the positioning strip and the positioning slot of the pulse acupuncture instrument for acupoint stimulation provides precise axial guidance for the installation of the acupuncture head. In addition, the unique design of the positioning strip and the positioning slot completely eliminates the possibility of the acupuncture head being installed upside down. Traditional designs are prone to reverse connection of electrodes due to incorrect direction. However, this design, through the precise cooperation of a single positioning strip and the positioning slot, restricts the installation direction in terms of physical structure, thereby avoiding instrument failure or treatment errors caused by reverse connection of electrodes, thereby extending the service life of the instrument and improving its reliability.

[0028] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0029] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the pulse acupuncture instrument for acupoint stimulation according to the present invention comprises a housing 1, a mounting tube 2, and an acupuncture head 3. The housing 1 has a T-shaped structure and an overall streamlined design. This T-shaped housing 1, combined with its streamlined appearance, achieves a perfect blend of ease of use and ergonomics. Users can easily grasp the lateral portion of the housing 1, and the wide lateral gripping area provides comfortable support for the fingers, effectively reducing fatigue caused by prolonged use. In actual use, the housing 1 is made of high-quality sandalwood. Sandalwood, with its unique natural grain and warm texture, not only gives the pulse acupuncture instrument a unique appearance and feel, but also provides a unique user experience. The warm texture of sandalwood provides a comfortable feel when gripped, preventing hand fatigue even after prolonged use, further enhancing user comfort. Sandalwood also has a natural aroma that creates a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere during use, helping users relax and enhance the therapeutic effect. The mounting tube 2 is embedded and fixed at the bottom end of the longitudinal portion of the housing 1, and the acupuncture head 3 is snap-fitted and mounted on the mounting tube 2. The bottom end of the acupuncture head 3 is provided with a pulse needle 4 that can generate pulse current to stimulate acupuncture points;

[0030] Acupuncture head 3 has grooves at both ends of its bottom, each of which houses massage heads 5 that are telescopically engaged. Massage balls 502 are rolled onto the bottom ends of both massage heads 5, with a pulse needle 4 positioned between the two massage balls 502. This acupoint stimulation pulse acupuncture instrument innovatively combines the pulse needle 4 and massage balls 502, achieving the effect of integrating electrical nerve stimulation therapy with traditional acupoint massage techniques. When the user presses the switch button 8 to activate the instrument, the pulse current generated by the pulse needle 4 stimulates the acupoint with precise waveform parameters, activating the flow of qi and blood in the meridians. Simultaneously, the massage balls 502 on both sides, supported by the elasticity of springs 306, apply gentle and continuous rolling pressure to the tissue surrounding the acupoint when under pressure. The spherical structure of the massage balls 502 allows for dynamic changes in the massage contact area, preventing skin bruises caused by the rigid pressure of traditional massage sticks while also producing an effect similar to "small-scale kneading" through rolling friction. This combined stimulation mode effectively increases local blood flow to acupoints, providing faster pain relief than single-pulse acupuncture treatment. Ball massage can effectively improve microcirculation in the tissues surrounding acupoints, enhancing the penetration efficiency of the pulsed current, and achieving a synergistic effect. In actual use, the massage head 5 can be designed as a hollow bottle with a liquid reservoir formed within it for storing massage oil. The massage balls 502 roll onto the bottom opening of the massage head 5, creating an innovative structure that both massages and releases essential oils. Specifically, as the massage balls 502 roll, the essential oil in the reservoir is gradually drawn out and applied to the skin surface through the pressure differential generated by their contact with the skin and the centrifugal force of their rotation, achieving a simultaneous massage and moisturizing effect. The high-precision rolling fit of the massage balls 502 ensures a tight fit within the opening of the massage head 5, ensuring a slow release of the essential oil while preventing excessive leakage. While the user is performing pulse acupuncture treatment, the massage ball 502 rolls around the acupuncture points, causing the essential oil to be evenly distributed, which not only enhances the comfort of the massage, but also further improves the therapeutic effect through the pharmacological effects of the essential oil. This design is particularly suitable for dry skin or areas that require deep relaxation. It can effectively improve the dryness of the skin, while promoting the absorption of the effective ingredients in the essential oil, making the entire massage process more delicate, gentle and effective. The bottom end of the longitudinal portion of the shell 1 is provided with a rubber protective sleeve 11. The rubber protective sleeve 11 is provided on the bottom end of the longitudinal portion of the shell 1. Its main function is to protect the acupuncture head 3 and the pulse needle 4 from contamination, damage or accidental collision when not in use. The rubber material has good elasticity, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and can effectively resist the influence of the external environment on the acupuncture head 3, thereby extending the service life of the acupuncture head 3. At the same time, the rubber protective sleeve 11 also has certain insulation properties, which can prevent accidents such as leakage during use and improve the safety of the instrument.When carrying or storing the instrument, the rubber protective cover 11 can prevent the acupuncture head 3 from scratching other objects or being scratched by other objects, ensuring the integrity of the acupuncture head 3. In addition, the rubber protective cover 11 can also prevent the acupuncture head 3 from direct contact with the external environment, reducing the adhesion of microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, reducing the risk of infection, and ensuring the health and safety of the user.

[0031] A further improvement of this embodiment is that the interior of the shell 1 is hollow, and a PLC controller module, a power supply module, a pulse output circuit, a timer module, and an audio module are provided inside the shell 1. The PLC controller module is the control core of the entire instrument, and can accurately control the pulse output circuit to generate a pulse current of a specific frequency, amplitude, and waveform to meet the treatment needs of different acupuncture points and different diseases. The power supply module provides stable power support for the entire instrument to ensure that each module can work normally. The timer module can accurately control the output time of the pulse current, ensure the accuracy of the treatment time, and avoid over-stimulation of the acupuncture points. The audio module can provide a prompt tone during the treatment process to remind the user of the start, end, and time interval of the treatment, etc., thereby improving the convenience and accuracy of the treatment. The collaborative work of these modules enables the pulse acupuncture instrument to achieve accurate, safe, and effective acupuncture point stimulation, which helps to improve the treatment effect and user experience.

[0032] A further improvement of this embodiment is that a display screen 7 is installed on one side of the outside of the shell 1, and a switch button 8, a timing button 9 and a sound adjustment button 10 are installed on one side of the outside of the shell 1 below the display screen 7. The display screen 7 can intuitively display the working status and parameter settings of the instrument, such as pulse intensity, treatment time, remaining time, etc., so that the user can clearly understand the treatment process and the operation of the instrument, and can adjust it according to their own needs. The switch button 8 is used to turn the instrument on or off. It is simple and convenient to operate and can quickly start or stop pulse acupuncture treatment. The timing button 9 is used to set and control the treatment time. The user can set the treatment time according to his or her own treatment needs, which improves the convenience and accuracy of the treatment. The sound adjustment button 10 is used to adjust the volume of the audio module. The user can adjust the volume of the prompt sound according to his or her preferences and environmental requirements to ensure that the prompt sound is clear and audible, while avoiding excessive volume affecting others. The settings of these buttons and the display screen 7 greatly improve the convenience of operation and user experience of the instrument, allowing users to perform pulse acupuncture treatment more easily.

[0033] A further improvement of this embodiment is that the top of the transverse part of the shell 1 is rotatably equipped with an adjusting wheel 6 for adjusting the pulse output size. The edge of the adjusting wheel 6 has an anti-slip protrusion, and one side of the adjusting wheel 6 is marked with a scale and a value. The user can accurately control the pulse current intensity generated by the pulse output circuit by rotating the adjusting wheel 6, thereby selecting the appropriate stimulation intensity according to his or her physical condition and acupoint sensitivity. This manual adjustment method is simple and intuitive to operate, can meet the personalized needs of different users, and improve the comfort and effect of treatment. The edge of the adjusting wheel 6 has an anti-slip protrusion. This structural setting can increase the friction between the user's fingers and the adjusting wheel 6, prevent slipping during the adjustment process, and ensure the accuracy and stability of the adjustment operation. The one side of the adjusting wheel 6 is marked with a scale and a value. The user can intuitively understand the current pulse current intensity based on the scale and value, which is convenient for precise adjustment and recording, and improves the practicality and ease of use of the instrument.

[0034] A further improvement of this embodiment lies in the fact that a plurality of fixed slots 202 are provided at both ends of the mounting barrel 2. L-shaped spring clips 301 are fixed to both ends of the acupuncture tip 3. A retaining block 302 that mates with the fixed slots 202 is fixed to the top of each spring clip 301. The fixed slots 202 at both ends of the mounting barrel 2 and the retaining blocks 302 of the spring clips 301 at both ends of the acupuncture tip 3 form a precise engagement mechanism. When replacing the acupuncture tip 3, the operator simply needs to gently press the L-shaped structure of the spring clip 301, and the retaining block 302 will smoothly disengage from the fixed slot 202. This entire process requires no tools, greatly improving clinical work efficiency.

[0035] A further improvement of this embodiment is that a conductive contact 1 201 is provided on the inner wall of the top of the mounting tube 2, and a conductive contact 2 304 is provided on the top of the acupuncture head 3. When the acupuncture head 3 is installed on the mounting tube 2, the conductive contact 1 201 and the conductive contact 2 304 are in contact to conduct the pulse current. The contact design of the conductive contact 1 201 and the conductive contact 2 304 is different from the traditional plug-in method. On the one hand, this can ensure the effective transmission of the pulse signal, and on the other hand, it avoids the problem of poor contact that is prone to occur in the traditional plug-in method after multiple plug-ins.

[0036] A further improvement of this embodiment is that a positioning strip 203 is vertically fixed to one side of the interior of the mounting tube 2, and a positioning slot 303 adapted to the positioning strip 203 is provided on one side of the exterior of the acupuncture head 3, and the positioning strip 203 slides in the positioning slot 303. The sliding fit between the positioning strip 203 and the positioning slot 303 provides precise axial guidance for the installation of the acupuncture head 3. In addition, the unique design of the positioning strip 203 and the positioning slot 303 completely eliminates the possibility of the acupuncture head 3 being installed upside down. Traditional designs are prone to reverse connection of electrodes due to incorrect directions, while this design, through the precise fit of a single positioning strip 203 and the positioning slot 303, physically limits the installation direction, thereby avoiding instrument failure or treatment errors caused by reverse connection of electrodes, thereby extending the service life of the instrument and improving its reliability. When the acupuncture head 3 is correctly installed, the conductive contact 1 201 is precisely docked with the conductive contact 2 304.

[0037] A further improvement of this embodiment is that the two grooves at both ends of the bottom of the acupuncture head 3 are provided with springs 306, the top ends of the two springs 306 are respectively fixed to the top inner walls of the two grooves of the acupuncture head 3, and the two massage heads 5 are respectively connected to the bottom of the springs 306.

[0038] A further improvement of this embodiment lies in the fact that limiting grooves 305 are provided on both inner walls of the bottom channel of the acupuncture head 3. Several limiting sliders 501 are mounted on either side of the massage head 5, matching the limiting grooves 305. The limiting sliders 501 slide and fit within the limiting grooves 305. The massage heads 5 are elastically connected by springs 306 and constrained by the limiting sliders 501 and the limiting grooves 305. When the user presses the acupuncture head 3 on an acupoint, the massage heads 5 on both sides first contact the skin and begin to compress the springs 306. The progressive compression characteristics of the springs 306 enable the massage heads 5 to automatically adjust their extension length based on local muscle bulges or depressions, adapting to the desired acupoint depth for patients of varying body types. The linear motion of the limiting sliders 501 within the limiting grooves 305 ensures that the massage heads 5 maintain a perpendicular force on the tissue surrounding the acupoint during extension and retraction, preventing deviation in the massage direction. In actual use, this structural design enables the massage balls 502 to precisely conform to the muscle contours surrounding the acupuncture points, producing a "kneading while pressing" effect similar to that of a professional masseur. Furthermore, the elastic return function of the spring 306 drives the massage balls 502 to produce a continuous rolling massage when the user rotates the device, effectively enhancing the rehabilitation effect of pulse acupuncture.

[0039] A further improvement of this embodiment is that a hanging hole 12 is provided at one end of the transverse portion of the shell 1, and a hand rope 13 is passed through the hanging hole 12. This design provides the user with a more convenient way to carry. In addition, the setting of the hanging hole 12 and the hand rope 13 also facilitates the storage and hanging of the instrument. The instrument can be hung on the wall, bedside, etc. without taking up too much desktop space, making the instrument easier to manage and access.

[0040] During use, first, the user holds the horizontal part of the shell 1 with his hand to ensure a stable grip. Then, gently remove the rubber protective cover 11 at the bottom of the longitudinal part of the shell 1, being careful not to damage the protective cover. Next, align the acupuncture head 3 with the acupuncture point that needs to be stimulated, apply appropriate pressure, and align the pulse needle 4 with the acupuncture point accurately. The pressure should be moderate to avoid excessive pressure causing skin damage. During the pressing process, the two massage heads 5 will shrink inward under the action of pressure until the pulse needle 4 completely contacts the acupuncture point. At this time, press the switch button 8 to start the device and start pulse current stimulation. According to treatment needs, adjust the timing button 9 to set the appropriate stimulation time. At the same time, by turning the adjustment wheel 6, adjust the pulse output size according to personal tolerance. During use, the user can hold the shell 1 and gently rotate the acupuncture instrument back and forth so that the massage balls 502 at the ends of the two massage heads 5 roll around the acupuncture point, playing an auxiliary massage role and enhancing the treatment effect. Finally, when the timer module finishes its operation and the audio module sounds a prompt, slowly release the pressure on the acupuncture head 3, allowing the massage head 5 to return to its original position under the action of the spring 306. Replace the rubber protective cover 11 on the bottom of the longitudinal portion of the housing 1 to protect the acupuncture head 3 and the pulse needle 4. Turn off the power button 8 and hang the device on the hanging hole 12 and the carrying strap 13 for safekeeping.
