Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of acupuncture needles, in particular to an acupuncture needle for acupuncture and massage. Background Art

[0002] Acupuncture and massage are both methods of health preservation and treatment. There are differences between acupuncture and moxibustion. Acupuncture involves the pricking, tapping, and bloodletting of acupoints on the body's surface. Moxibustion involves the use of moxa sticks, moxa sticks, or moxa wool placed in a moxibustion device, which is then ignited and applied to specific skin points for warm stimulation. As two key methods of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and massage are widely used in clinical and healthcare settings. Acupuncture stimulates specific acupoints to regulate the flow of qi and blood, effectively treating various ailments. Massage, on the other hand, involves the manipulation of meridians, tendons, bones, and muscles to promote blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and ultimately alleviate pain and improve health. While both therapies hold significant importance in medicine, currently available devices have limitations in their functionality, making it difficult to effectively combine acupuncture and massage, requiring manual intervention.

[0003] Currently, most acupuncture needles can only perform acupuncture procedures alone during treatment, regulating Qi and blood through needling. While acupuncture can precisely stimulate meridian points to dredge Qi and blood and alleviate symptoms, it cannot be used as an adjunct to other treatments, such as massage. This makes its effectiveness particularly limited in clinical situations requiring multiple treatments simultaneously.

[0004] Massage therapy is different from acupuncture and relies more on the therapist's skills and experience. The patient is pressed and kneaded with fingers, palms, elbows and other parts of the body to regulate meridians, relax muscles, and improve blood flow. Most existing massage therapy equipment is a single massage tool. Although it can perform certain simulated manipulations, the effect is still far from the real manipulation, and it cannot be performed simultaneously with acupuncture. Current massage equipment is mostly electric massagers or manual massage tools. They lack customized treatment for specific problems and are often unable to be combined with acupuncture treatment at the same time. Therefore, patients often need to receive massage and acupuncture treatment separately, and different equipment and manual operations are required, which affects the efficiency and effectiveness of the treatment.

[0005] With the growing demand for modern medical care, patients have increasingly higher expectations for treatment effectiveness, and integrated acupuncture and massage treatment has become an important development direction in the medical and health fields. By combining acupuncture and massage in the same treatment process, the comprehensive advantages of traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be maximized, achieving more accurate and efficient treatment. However, to achieve an organic combination of acupuncture and massage, current technology and equipment have not yet met this requirement. Existing acupuncture needles still cannot be seamlessly combined with massage techniques, and different treatment methods need to be performed separately, resulting in long treatment times and often difficult to synchronize the effects. Not only does existing equipment fail to meet the needs of integrated acupuncture and massage treatment, it also often causes discomfort to patients due to improper techniques or inaccurate operation, affecting the treatment effect. No solutions have yet been proposed for related technical issues. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In response to the problems in the related art, the present invention proposes an acupuncture needle for acupuncture and massage to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related art.

[0038] In this embodiment, the card block 19 is conveniently inserted into the second card slot 20, thereby improving convenience.

[0039] Working principle of the present invention: When in use, the two push plates 2 are driven to move back and forth by the bidirectional adjustment mechanism, and the starting motor 1 6 drives the bidirectional screw 7 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. When the bidirectional screw 7 rotates, the two moving plates 8 move closer to or away from each other. When the moving plate 8 moves, it drives the push plate 2 connected thereto to move, thereby realizing automatic massage for the user. The support rod 9 effectively improves the stability of the movement of the push plate 2. When the starting motor 22 is turned, the massage ball 3 can be driven to rotate, thereby effectively improving the effect of the massage. After the massage is completed, acupuncture is performed. Starting the cylinder 1 4 can drive the support plate 10, the cylinder 2 11, the electric telescopic rod 12, the movable block 13, the support block 14 and the card plate 15 to move downward synchronously. Starting the cylinder 2 11 can drive the movable block 13 to move downward, so that the acupuncture needle 5 is inserted into the body. Then starting the electric telescopic rod 12 can drive the support block 14 to move downward. When moving, the support block 14 drives several card plates 15 to connect and disassemble the acupuncture needle 5, thereby realizing automated acupuncture, which is highly practical. When the massage ball 3 needs to be maintained and replaced, multiple buttons 18 are pressed simultaneously to move the block 19 fixedly connected to it. When the bottom end of the block 19 moves to the center of the second slot 20, the vertical support plate is pulled out, so that the vertical support plate is separated from the movable plate 8.

[0040] The present invention combines acupuncture and massage, and can act on the human body's qi, blood and meridian systems simultaneously in the same treatment process, synergistically promoting blood circulation, dredging meridians, relieving muscle tension, pain and other physical discomforts, and improving the overall effect of the treatment. By integrating the two traditional treatment methods, patients do not need to receive acupuncture and massage treatments separately, saving treatment time and making the treatment process more efficient. The disassembly design is not only convenient for cleaning, but also can promptly detect and replace damaged parts, ensuring long-term stable operation of the equipment and extending its service life. Traditional acupuncture and massage require experienced therapists to operate. The automation and intelligent adjustment after combining the equipment can reduce the therapist's operating burden while maintaining the accuracy and consistency of the treatment. Through precise acupuncture needle control and simultaneous execution of massage techniques, the equipment can be personalized according to the different needs of patients, which helps to reduce human operating errors and improve the safety of treatment.
