[0034] Example 1:

[0035] In order to solve the technical problem of how to provide an acupuncture instrument capable of limiting temperature, the present invention provides a moxibustion instrument.

[0036] For details, see Figure 1 or Figure 2 The moxibustion therapy device of this embodiment includes a needle body 1 made of transparent material, an optical fiber 2 and a light source module 3 for emitting laser light;

[0037] The optical fiber 2 has a head end 20A and a tail end 20B, the head end 20A is connected to the needle body 1, and the tail end 20B is connected to the light source module 3;

[0038] The needle body 1 and the optical fiber 2 together form an optical channel. The laser emitted by the light source module 3 is limited to transmission within the optical channel, and the laser is transmitted to the outside of the optical channel through the needle tip 11 of the needle body 1. The light source module 3 is provided with an optical device 31 and a timer module 35A. The timer module 35A is used to limit the time for the optical device 31 to emit laser.

[0039] In this embodiment, the light source module 3 is used to start when receiving a control instruction. After starting, the light source module 3 can emit laser; the laser is confined to the optical channel composed of the optical fiber 2 and the needle body 1 made of transparent material. When the laser reaches the needle tip 11 of the needle body 1, the laser is transmitted from the inside of the optical channel to the outside of the optical channel.

[0040] It should be understood that the transparent material is specifically a glass material; there are many types of glass materials, which can be selected based on specific experimental methods and economic costs. This is common knowledge known to those skilled in the art.

[0041] When actually using the moxibustion therapy device of this embodiment, the medical staff inserts the needle tip 11 of the needle body 1 into the patient's acupuncture point or into the patient's specific tissue. Then, the medical staff starts the light source module 3, so that the laser emitted by the light source module 3 passes through the needle tip 11 of the needle body 1 and irradiates the patient's acupuncture point or the patient's specific tissue. The heat of the laser is used to roast the patient's acupuncture point or specific tissue, and the temperature of the acupuncture point or specific tissue roasted by the heat increases, forming a moxibustion therapy function like the prior art.

[0042] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 or Figure 2 The light source module 3 generates laser light through an optical device 31. The optical device 31 is a basic component in the optoelectronic field and is manufactured in various models according to different uses or power. The optical device 31 includes at least a light-emitting diode and / or a photosensitive diode. The light-emitting diode is used to generate laser light when receiving electrical energy, and the photosensitive diode is used to generate electrical energy or an electrical signal when receiving light energy.

[0043] The power of the optical device 31 can be limited, for example, to a range of 5 watts to 60 watts. This means that when the laser light emitted by the optical device 31 irradiates the human body, the heat generated by the laser light can be limited. Consequently, the temperature of the human body caused by the heat of the laser light can be limited.

[0044] It should be understood that the specific power of the optical device 31 and the temperature formed by the human body irradiated by the laser emitted by the optical device 31 can be obtained through experimental means; for example, a mouse can be used as an experimental subject, and the moxibustion therapy instrument of this embodiment can be used as an experimental tool. The needle tip 11 of the needle body 1 is inserted into the body of the mouse. By setting the optical device 31 with different powers for the experiment, the laser generated by the optical device 31 is irradiated on the body of the mouse at the position of the needle tip 11, and the position of the mouse body where the needle tip 11 is inserted is measured by a temperature gun to obtain temperature data.

[0045] In this embodiment, the timer module 35A is used to control the time when the optical element emits the laser light, so as to prevent the human body irradiated by the laser from accumulating heat and causing the temperature of the human body at the irradiated position to be too high.

[0046] When "limiting the duration of laser emission by the optical device 31", the timer module 35A can be set to a first time length, for example, 5 minutes; during the timing process of the timer module 35A, if the timing time meets the set first time length, then the timer module 35A sends a first control signal, which is used to stop the optical device 31 from emitting laser;

[0047] Similarly, when "limiting the interval between two adjacent laser emissions of the optical device 31", the timer module 35A can be set to a second time length, such as 5 minutes or 10 minutes; when the timer module 35A sends a control signal last time, the timer module 35A is triggered to count again. If the "second timing duration" meets the second time length, the timer module 35A sends a second control signal, and the optical device 31 is started to emit laser through the second control signal;

[0048] By analogy, the optical device 31 can produce a periodic control effect of emitting laser light within a first time length and not emitting laser light within a second time length.

[0049] It should be understood that under the condition that the power of the optical device 31 is determined, the laser is cumulatively irradiated on the human body, causing the human body to accumulate heat from the laser and produce temperature increase data, which can be obtained through experimental means; please refer to the aforementioned mouse experiment. During the mouse experiment, on the one hand, timing is performed, and on the other hand, the temperature of the mouse body into which the needle is inserted is measured by a thermometer gun. When the temperature of the mouse body reaches or exceeds the ideal treatment temperature, the experimenter only needs to record the temperature data of the thermometer gun and the timing time. The rest will not be repeated here.

[0050] The moxibustion therapy instrument provided in this embodiment transmits the laser generated by the light source module 3 in the optical channel composed of the optical fiber 2 and the needle body 1, and transmits the laser from the inside of the optical channel to the outside of the optical channel through the needle tip 11 used to penetrate the human body, so that the laser is irradiated on the human body, and the human body irradiated by the laser produces the moxibustion function through the heat of the laser; at the same time, the power of the optical device 31 used to generate the laser is limited to a reasonable power range, and the timer module 35A is set to avoid continuous irradiation of the human body, thereby limiting the occurrence of excessive temperature of the human body caused by laser irradiation.

[0051] Furthermore, in the aforementioned technical solution, how to prevent laser light from leaking from the optical channel located outside the needle tip 11 is preferably achieved by adopting the following technical solution.

[0052] The moxibustion therapy instrument of this embodiment is shown in FIG. Figure 1 or Figure 6 , the needle body 1 also includes a needle rod 12, and the needle tip 11 is coaxially connected to the needle rod 12;

[0053] The outer surface of the needle rod 12 is coated with a coating 13 for blocking laser light.

[0054] As mentioned in the above technical solution, the needle body 1 is made of glass material, so a coating should be applied at the needle rod 12 of the needle body 1 to prevent the laser from being scattered into the atmosphere through the uncoated needle rod 12 when it reaches the needle rod 12.

[0055] In this embodiment, the coating is specifically a metal reflective film, wherein the metal reflective film can be an aluminum reflective film or a silver reflective film; when the laser is transmitted to the needle body 1 through the optical fiber 2, the laser is blocked by the metal reflective film and confined within the needle rod 12.

[0056] It should be understood that see Figure 3 The optical fiber 2 itself has a coating layer 22 and a cladding layer 23, so that the optical fiber 2 itself will not leak laser light into the atmosphere.

[0057] Furthermore, in the moxibustion therapy apparatus of this embodiment, the number of optical fibers 2 is one of 1 to 5.

[0058] As mentioned in the aforementioned scheme, when laser irradiates the human body, heat is generated, which increases the temperature of the human body irradiated by the laser, thereby achieving the effect of moxibustion therapy.

[0059] From a spectral perspective, different wavelengths of laser light result in different temperatures generated when the laser light is irradiated onto the human body. Therefore, an optical device 31 made of multiple light-emitting diodes can be used, and the laser light emitted by each light-emitting diode is configured to have a different wavelength, so as to better control the temperature generated when the laser light is irradiated onto the human body.

[0060] Specifically, the moxibustion therapy device of this embodiment may be configured such that the optical device 31 includes only one light-emitting diode, or includes 2, 3, 4 or 5 light-emitting diodes, and the laser emitted by each light-emitting diode is limited to one of the following lasers: 650 nm red light, 808 nm near-infrared light, 470 nm blue light, 530 nm green light and 590 nm yellow light.

[0061] If the optical device 31 includes only one light emitting diode, then the number of optical fiber 2 is only one;

[0062] If the optical device 31 includes 2, 3, 4 or 5 light emitting diodes, the number of the optical fibers 2 should be two, three, four or five accordingly.

[0063] For further information, see Figure 1 or Figure 3 In the moxibustion therapy device of this embodiment, the end 20B of each optical fiber 2 is connected to the light source module 3 through an optical fiber jumper 24.

[0064] The optical fiber jumper 24 is a connection connector, and the jumper interface 32 matches the optical fiber jumper 24 , which is common knowledge known to those skilled in the optoelectronics field.

[0065] The use of an optical fiber jumper 24 to connect the light source module 3 can, on the one hand, simplify the connection structure between the optical fiber 2 and the light source module 3, making it easier for medical staff to disassemble and assemble the optical fiber 2 and the light source module 3. On the other hand, since the needle body 1 is connected to the optical fiber 2, after the needle body 1 is used, the needle body 1 and the optical fiber 2 should be treated as medical waste, while the light source module 3 can continue to be used to reduce the economic cost of using the moxibustion therapy device of this embodiment.

[0066] For further information, see Figure 1 or Figure 3 , the moxibustion therapy instrument of this embodiment, the optical fiber 2 is provided with a core 21, a cladding 23 and a coating layer 22;

[0067] The cladding 23 is used to surround the fiber core 21, and the coating layer 22 is used to surround the cladding 23;

[0068] The fiber core 21 and the needle body 1 are fused into one.

[0069] The core 21 of the optical fiber 2 is made of glass material. At the same time, the needle body 1 is also made of glass material. The needle body 1 and the core 21 are fused into one by hot melting. The fusion process is mature and the manufacturing efficiency is high.

[0070] It should be understood that the device for fusing the needle body 1 and the fiber core 21 may be a fiber optic fusion splicer. The specific structure of the fiber optic fusion splicer is common knowledge known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0071] Furthermore, in the moxibustion therapy apparatus of this embodiment, the fusion joint between the fiber core 21 and the needle body 1 is surrounded by a heat shrink tube (not shown in the figure).

[0072] After the needle body 1 and the fiber core 21 are fused, the connection position between the needle body 1 and the fiber core 21 does not have the aforementioned coating or cladding 23 or coating layer 22, which causes the laser to be scattered into the atmosphere from the "connection position between the needle body 1 and the fiber core 21"; therefore, a heat shrink tube is used to wrap the connection position between the needle body 1 and the fiber core 21, so that the laser is blocked by the heat shrink tube to prevent the laser from dissipating heat into the atmosphere.

[0073] Heat shrink tubing is a commonly used material in the optoelectronic or electrical fields. The diameter of the heat shrink tubing before being heated is larger than the diameter after being heated. This is common knowledge known to those skilled in the art. After the heat shrink tubing is sleeved on the "connection position between the needle body 1 and the fiber core 21" and heated, the heat shrink tubing is only wrapped around the needle body 1 and the optical fiber 2.

[0074] For further information, see Figure 2 or Figure 4 In the moxibustion therapy apparatus of this embodiment, a Bragg grating 25 is provided on one section of the fiber core 21;

[0075] The optical device 31 has a transmitting end 31A for transmitting laser light and a receiving end 31B for receiving laser light. The receiving end 31B is used to receive the laser light reflected by the Bragg grating 25 .

[0076] In the foregoing content, it has been mentioned that the heat generated by the laser irradiating the human body causes the temperature of the human body irradiated by the laser to rise; when actually using the moxibustion therapy device of this embodiment, in order to avoid the phenomenon that the laser irradiation time meets the aforementioned first time length but the temperature of the human body irradiated by the laser is too high, a temperature detection function should also be set to detect the current temperature of the human body irradiated by the laser in real time.

[0077] In this embodiment, see Figure 4 A Bragg grating 25 is provided at one section of the fiber core 21. This allows, when the emitting end 31A of the optical device 31 emits laser light, the laser light propagates along the direction from the fiber core 21 to the needle body 1 and reaches the Bragg grating 25. On the one hand, a portion of the laser light transmits the Bragg grating 25 and propagates toward the needle body 1. On the other hand, another portion of the laser light is reflected by the Bragg grating 25 and forms a reflected laser light along the direction from the needle body 1 to the fiber core 21.

[0078] The reflected laser light propagates along the direction from the needle body 1 to the fiber core 21, so that the reflected laser light is received by the receiving end 31B (see Figure 2 )take over;

[0079] In this embodiment, the transmitting end 31A is the aforementioned light-emitting diode, and the receiving end 31B is the aforementioned photodiode; when the receiving end 31B receives the reflected laser, the receiving end 31B converts the energy of the reflected laser into electrical energy, so that the electrical energy becomes a feedback electrical signal that can be obtained and calculated. Thus, the light source module 3 can calculate based on the feedback electrical signal to obtain the current temperature of the optical channel (the temperature of the needle body 1 and the temperature of the optical fiber 2).

[0080] It should be understood that the wavelength of the aforementioned transmitted laser light is different from the wavelength of the aforementioned reflected laser light, which is common knowledge known to those skilled in the field of optoelectronics.

[0081] It should be understood that the structure of the Bragg grating 25 itself is common knowledge known to those skilled in the optoelectronics field.

[0082] In this embodiment, a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the needle body 1 and the optical fiber 2 is formed by the Bragg grating 25 and the receiving end 31B of the optical device 31. Thus, by measuring the temperature of the needle body 1 and the optical fiber 2, instead of directly measuring the temperature of the human body irradiated by the laser, the moxibustion therapy device of this embodiment has the technical effect of real-time temperature detection.

[0083] For further information, see Figure 1 or Figure 2 , the moxibustion therapy instrument of this embodiment, the light source module 3 also includes a circuit printed board 30, a battery 33, a Bluetooth module 34, a control chip 35, and a jumper interface 32;

[0084] The control chip 35 includes a timer module 35A;

[0085] The optical device 31, battery 33, Bluetooth module 34, control chip 35 and jumper interface 32 are respectively arranged on the circuit printed board, wherein the battery 33 is electrically connected to the optical device 31, Bluetooth module 34 and control chip 35 respectively, the control chip 35 is electrically connected to the optical device 31 and Bluetooth module 34 respectively, and the jumper interface 32 forms a second optical channel with the transmitting end 31A.

[0086] Among them, the jumper interface 32 is used to be connected to the optical fiber jumper 24 in the aforementioned scheme; after the jumper interface 32 is connected to the optical fiber jumper 24, the optical channel composed of the needle body 1 and the optical fiber 2 is the same as the second optical channel formed by the jumper interface 32 and the transmitting end 31A, which allows the laser emitted from the transmitting end 31A to propagate into the optical channel through the second optical channel, and the aforementioned reflected laser can propagate from the optical channel to the second optical channel, and then the reflected laser is received by the receiving end 31B.

[0087] The Bluetooth module 34 is configured to communicate with a Bluetooth control device and receive control instructions from the Bluetooth control device; the Bluetooth control device includes but is not limited to: a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a Bluetooth remote control and other devices with Bluetooth function.

[0088] When the Bluetooth module 34 receives the control instruction, the Bluetooth module 34 sends the control instruction to the control chip 35;

[0089] If the control instruction is specifically a start instruction, then the control chip 35 adjusts the transmitter 31A from the non-operating state to the operating state according to the start instruction, and the transmitter 31A in the operating state emits laser light after receiving power from the battery 33;

[0090] If the control instruction is specifically a shutdown instruction, then the control chip 35 adjusts the transmitting end 31A from the working state to the non-working state according to the shutdown instruction. The transmitting end 31A in the non-working state cannot emit laser light;

[0091] If the control instruction is specifically a time parameter for setting the first time length or the second time length, then the control chip 35 uses the time parameter as a condition for the program executed by the controlled chip 35. When the timer module 35A is started, the real-time timing duration of the timer module 35A is compared with the time parameter to obtain a corresponding comparison result.

[0092] In this embodiment, the battery 33 can be configured as the following two types of batteries 33:

[0093] The first type of battery 33 is a battery 33 that adopts a wired charging method. In this case, a charging interface needs to be provided on the printed circuit board, and the charging interface is electrically connected to the battery 33;

[0094] The second type of battery 33 is a battery 33 that adopts a wireless charging method. In this case, a coil for wireless charging needs to be provided on the printed circuit board, and the coil is electrically connected to the battery 33.

[0095] For further information, see Figure 5 or Figure 6 ,In the moxibustion therapy instrument of this embodiment, the needle tip 11 is coated with an antireflection film 16;

[0096] The needle rod 12 is coated with a silicon nitride coating 14 and a nano zinc oxide coating 15 , and the silicon nitride coating 14 is located between the coating 13 for blocking laser light and the nano zinc oxide coating 15 .

[0097] Among them, see Figure 5 The needle tip 11 is coated with an antireflection film 16, which reduces the reflectivity of the laser reflected by the needle tip 11. From another perspective, the transmittance of the laser from the needle tip 11 is improved.

[0098] Also, see Figure 6 The silicon nitride coating 14 coated on the needle rod 12 is used to increase the hardness of the needle rod 12; and the nano zinc oxide coating 15 is used to improve the antibacterial ability of the needle rod 12 itself.

[0099] When actually using the moxibustion therapy device of this embodiment, the medical staff should fully charge the battery 33 of the light source module 3. Then, the medical staff should insert the needle body 1 into the patient's acupuncture point or specific tissue so that the needle body 1 is naturally positioned and fixed relative to the patient. Then, the medical staff should adjust the optical fiber 2 to a curved shape so that the light source module 3 can fit the patient's body surface in a flat state. In addition, the medical staff should use medical tape to adhere the light source module 3 to the patient's body surface.

[0100] Next, the medical staff starts the moxibustion therapy instrument through the Bluetooth control device. After the Bluetooth module 34 of the light source module 3 receives the start signal, it transmits the start signal to the control chip 35; the control chip 35 executes the program, triggers the optical device 31 (transmitting end 31A) to emit laser, and triggers the timer module 35A to start timing; in the process of laser irradiation of the patient's acupuncture points or specific tissues, the reflected laser from the Bragg grating 25 of the optical fiber 2 is received by the optical device 31 (receiving end 31B), and the optical device 31 generates electrical energy or electrical signals, and then sends the electrical energy or electrical signals as feedback information to the control chip 35; after receiving the feedback information, the control chip 35 forms a monitoring state for monitoring the temperature of the needle body and the optical fiber. If the monitored temperature exceeds the ideal temperature of the medical staff (the temperature setting value can be set through the Bluetooth control device), then the control chip 35 generates an interrupt instruction, and terminates the optical device 31 (transmitter 31A) from emitting laser according to the interrupt instruction; when the timing time of the timer module 35A meets the first time length (time setting value, which can be set through the Bluetooth control device), the control chip generates an interrupt instruction, and terminates the optical device 31 (transmitter 31A) from emitting laser according to the interrupt instruction; at the same time as the previous termination of the optical device 31 from emitting laser, the control chip 35 triggers the timer module 35A again, and when the timer module 35A once again meets the second time length (time setting value, which can be set through the Bluetooth control device), the control chip generates a control instruction, and triggers the optical device 31 (transmitter 31A) to emit laser according to the control instruction; until the treatment time in the program executed by the control chip 35 is completed, the control chip 35 issues a termination instruction, so that the optical device 31 stops emitting laser, and the moxibustion treatment process is terminated.
