Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical appliances, in particular to a acupuncture needle device with micro-current stimulation function. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, acupuncture has a long history, and its theoretical basis is rooted in the meridian theory and blood circulation theory of traditional Chinese medicine. By precisely inserting a specially designed acupuncture needle into the human body acupoint and using twisting, lifting and other delicate techniques, the acupoint is stimulated to achieve the purpose of dredging meridians, regulating blood, balancing yin and yang and curing diseases. From the perspective of modern medicine, acupuncture can regulate nerve function, stimulate peripheral nerves, improve nerve conduction, and thus relieve pain and promote organ function repair. At the same time, it can also effectively promote local blood circulation, speed up metabolism, reduce inflammation and edema, and help the lesion area to restore normal function. With the rapid development of science and technology, it has become a trend to integrate modern technology into the field of traditional acupuncture. Under this background, an acupuncture device with micro-current stimulation function has emerged.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to ensure current stimulation of the acupuncture position and avoid current stimulation of other positions, the micro-current acupuncture needle often needs to be coated with an insulating coating on the outside to ensure discharge at the needle tip, thereby avoiding discharge at other positions and ensuring accurate stimulation. However, the insulating coating will wear out and consume after a long time of use, resulting in a leakage situation and causing discomfort to the patient. In addition, due to the limited size of the acupuncture needle, only a micro-current generating device can be arranged inside the acupuncture needle. However, the current size is not well controlled, which can also cause discomfort to the patient and even cause harm. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to solve the problems in the prior art and provide an acupuncture needle device with micro-current stimulation function.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application adopts the following technical scheme: An acupuncture needle device with micro-current stimulation function, comprising a main body and a storage battery, the storage battery is arranged in the main body, the lower surface of the main body is fixedly connected with a fixed needle, the fixed needle and the main body are jointly penetrated and rotationally connected with a rotating needle, and a micro-current device is arranged in the main body. The micro-current device is composed of a generating mechanism, a monitoring mechanism and an emergency stop mechanism, the generating mechanism comprises a cavity formed in the main body, the inner side wall of the cavity is fixedly connected with a mounting plate, the lower surface of the mounting plate is fixedly connected with a micro-current generator, the rotating needle extends through the cavity and is fixedly connected with a lower rotating disc, the lower surface of the cavity is fixedly connected with a lower fixing ring, the lower rotating disc is rotationally connected with the lower fixing ring, the inner side wall of the cavity is fixedly connected with an upper fixing ring through a support rod, the upper fixing ring is rotationally connected with an upper rotating disc, and a plurality of conductive rods are fixedly connected between the upper rotating disc and the lower rotating disc.

[0006] Further, the monitoring mechanism comprises an electromagnet, the electromagnet is fixedly connected with the upper surface of the mounting plate, the electromagnet, the upper fixing ring, the lower fixing ring and the micro-current generator are electrically connected through wires, a large groove and a small groove are formed in the main body, the large groove is communicated with the cavity, the small groove is communicated with the outside of the large groove, a sliding plate is sealingly and slidably connected in the large groove, a magnetic block is fixedly connected with the lower surface of the sliding plate, a sliding block is sealingly and slidably connected in the small groove, the sliding block is provided with a pin groove, and the sliding block and the sliding plate are filled with hydraulic oil.

[0007] Further, the emergency stop mechanism comprises a fixed plate, the fixed plate is fixedly connected in the small groove, a switch is fixedly connected with the lower surface of the fixed plate, a bolt is slidably connected through the main body, one end of the bolt extends through the small groove, the other end of the bolt extends to the outside of the main body, one end of the bolt fixedly connected with the main body is provided with an operation plate, and a plurality of springs are fixedly connected between the operation plate and the main body.

[0008] Further, the monitoring mechanism further comprises two conductive blocks, the conductive blocks are fixedly embedded in the inner side wall of the small groove, an alarm is fixedly connected with the upper surface of the main body, and the conductive blocks and the alarm are electrically connected through wires.

[0009] Further, the inner side wall of the cavity is fixedly connected with a plurality of magnetic tiles.

[0010] Further, the fixed needle is made of polyvinylidene fluoride material, and the rotating needle is made of platinum material.

[0011] Further, the cross-sectional area of the large groove is 10-15 times that of the small groove.

[0012] Further, the operation plate is made of hard rubber material, and an anti-skid pattern is engraved on the outer wall of the operation plate.

[0013] Further, the sliding block is a hollow structure.

[0014] Further, a sealing rubber ring is arranged at the rotation connection position of the fixed needle and the rotating needle.

[0015] The application has the following advantages: 1. By using an insulating fixing needle and a rotating needle with good conductivity, it is ensured that only the needle tip discharges during acupuncture needle use, and unlike existing technologies, leakage will not occur due to coating peeling after long-term use, thus providing higher safety. 2. During the microcurrent introduction process, the current is applied to the rotating needle after passing through the conductive rod to stimulate the microcurrent. At the same time, the conductive rod will also slowly rotate under the magnetic field of the magnetic tile, thereby achieving the effect of "needle twisting". Combined with the microcurrent stimulation, a better therapeutic effect can be achieved. 3. During acupuncture, while the electric current is applied, an electromagnet is also introduced, causing the electromagnet to generate a magnetic repulsion force on the magnetic block. Under the action of the magnetic repulsion force, the slide plate slides upward. The sliding is amplified to the slider by hydraulic oil, and the current magnitude is monitored according to the position of the slider. Due to the amplification, the monitoring is more accurate. 4. During the monitoring process, if the current is large, it will not cause significant harm to the human body. The slider will slide up to contact the two conductive blocks, thereby making the two conductive blocks conductive and energizing the alarm to alert medical staff to take timely action. Otherwise, if the current increases further, it may cause harm to the patient. 5. If the alarm is not handled promptly by medical staff, the current will continue to increase, causing the slider to slide further upward until it contacts the switch, triggering the switch. This will disconnect the circuit, stop the current stimulation, and ensure the patient's safety. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The emergency stop mechanism comprises a fixed plate 22 fixedly connected in the small groove 17, a switch 23 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixed plate 22, a bolt 24 slidingly connected through the main body 1, the lower surface of the bolt 24 having a part of the slope, so that when the sliding block 18 slides upwards, it can be pushed to one side along the slope, one end of the bolt 24 extends into the small groove 17, and the other end extends to the outside of the main body 1, the end of the bolt 24 outside the main body 1 is fixedly connected with an operation plate 25, a plurality of springs 26 are fixedly connected between the operation plate 25 and the main body 1, if the medical staff does not handle in time after the alarm is sent during monitoring, the current further increases, at this time the sliding block 15 will continue to slide upwards until the switch 23 is triggered, and the bolt 24 is pushed to one side, and then moves to the position where the bolt 24 is aligned with the pin groove 19, at this time the sliding block 15 just triggers the switch 23, under the elastic force of the spring 26, the bolt 24 slides into the pin groove 19, locking the position of the sliding block 18, at this time the switch 23 is triggered to make the whole device power off, stop the current stimulation, and avoid adverse effects on the patient.

When the current is large during monitoring, the sliding block 18 slides further upwards and contacts the two conductive blocks 20, which are connected, when the sliding block 18 is in this position, it indicates that the current is large, and the continuous increase will cause the patient to feel uncomfortable, and when the two conductive blocks 20 are connected, the alarm 21 will be powered on to send an alarm, and the medical staff needs to handle in time after hearing the alarm to stop acupuncture or adjust the current.

[0023] A plurality of magnetic tiles 28 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity 10, and the magnetic induction lines of the magnetic tiles 28 all point to the central axis of the cavity 10.

[0024] The fixed needle 2 is made of polyvinylidene fluoride, which has good strength and insulation performance, ensuring insulation and being not easy to damage, and the rotating needle 3 is made of platinum, which has better conductivity and corrosion resistance.

[0025] The cross-sectional area of the large groove 14 is 10-15 times that of the small groove 17, and by setting the cross-sectional area, when the sliding plate 15 in the large groove 14 slides, the sliding block 18 in the small groove 17 will slide a larger distance, thereby amplifying the sliding stroke of the sliding plate 15, and further making the monitoring more accurate.

[0026] The operation plate 25 is made of hard rubber material, and the outer wall is engraved with anti-skid lines, the hard rubber material is more anti-skid, and the setting of the anti-skid lines further increases the anti-skid performance, so as to avoid the phenomenon of slipping when using the operation plate 25.

[0027] The sliding block 18 is a hollow structure, and the hollow structure is lighter in quality, so that the sliding block 18 is more easily lifted.

[0028] In the application, when in use, the acupuncturist holds the main body 1, inserts the acupuncture needle into the corresponding acupoint, rotates the needle 3 to the designated acupoint after insertion, and then the battery 27 supplies power, generates a micro-current through the micro-current generator 12, and conducts the micro-current to the rotating needle 3, so as to stimulate the acupoint with the micro-current.

[0029] While stimulating the acupoint with the micro-current, the current also passes through the conductive rod 9, and when the current passes through the conductive rod 9, the conductive rod 9 is subjected to the Ampere force under the magnetic field of the magnetic tile 28, so that the conductive rod 9 drives the lower turntable 4 and the upper turntable 8 to rotate, and the lower turntable 4 drives the rotating needle 3 to rotate slowly, so that the stimulation is strengthened by simulating the “twisting needle” operation while stimulating with the micro-current, thereby achieving better treatment effect.

[0030] While acupuncture, the micro-current also passes through the electromagnet 13, so that the electromagnet 13 generates a magnetic force to generate a magnetic repulsion force on the magnetic block 16, so that the magnetic block 16 drives the sliding plate 15 to slide up under the action of the magnetic repulsion force, and the sliding plate 15 slides up to press the hydraulic oil from the large groove 14 into the small groove 17, so that the sliding block 18 in the small groove 17 slides, and because the cross-sectional areas of the large groove 14 and the small groove 17 are different, the sliding plate 15 slides up to be enlarged at the sliding block 18, that is, the sliding block 18 is slid up by a larger distance, so that the small sliding stroke of the sliding plate 15 is amplified, that is, the position of the sliding block 18 can indicate the size of the current at this time, so as to monitor and alarm the size of the current.

[0031] During the monitoring process, when the current is large, the sliding block 18 further slides up and contacts the two conductive blocks 20 at this time, so that the two conductive blocks 20 are conducted, and when the position of the sliding block 18 is at this position, it indicates that the current is large, and the continuous increase will cause the patient to be uncomfortable, and after the two conductive blocks 20 are conducted, the alarm 21 will be powered to generate an alarm, and the medical staff will hear the alarm and need to handle it in time to stop acupuncture or adjust the size of the current.

[0032] If the medical staff does not handle in time after the alarm is sent out in the monitoring process, the slider 15 will continue to slide up when the current further increases, until the switch 23 is triggered, and the plug 24 is pushed to one side, and then moves to the position where the plug 24 is aligned with the pin slot 19, at this time the slider 15 just triggers the switch 23, under the elastic force of the spring 26, the plug 24 slides into the pin slot 19, and the position of the slider 18 is locked, at this time the switch 23 is triggered to make the whole device power off, stop the current stimulation, and avoid the adverse effects on the patient.

[0033] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this, any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
