Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of acupoint massage sticks, specifically relating to an acupoint massage stick with a built-in slow-release component of traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Acupressure massage sticks are portable health massage tools designed based on the theory of meridians and acupoints in traditional Chinese medicine. They stimulate acupoints and meridians through physical pressing, rolling, or vibration to achieve the effects of unblocking qi and blood, relieving fatigue, and regulating the body. They are widely applicable to home health care, office relaxation, and traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy. Herbal massage is a traditional therapy that combines drug penetration with physical stimulation. It primarily uses a specially designed herbal stick to roll and press on specific acupoints or areas to unblock meridians, relieve pain, and regulate Qi and blood. Its core functions include promoting local blood circulation, relaxing muscles, and assisting in the treatment of chronic strain and joint discomfort. The massage head, as the core functional component, is often made of medical-grade silicone, natural rubber, resin, metal, or gemstones such as Bian stone or jade. Shapes include spherical, conical, and flat. Some massage heads have anti-slip textures or raised particles on their surface to enhance pressure friction and stimulation depth.

[0003] Conventional massage sticks are relatively simple in function, mostly focusing on basic physical pressure or simple vibration, lacking targeted and diversified health care adaptability. These massage sticks typically only provide stimulation with a single intensity or fixed frequency, failing to achieve true therapeutic effects and struggling to meet specific needs such as deep acupoint stimulation and localized heat therapy. Furthermore, their functional modules are relatively limited, mostly lacking practical functions such as heat therapy, pulse therapy, and precise acupoint positioning, and lacking intelligent adjustment mechanisms, making them unable to adapt to different health care needs in various scenarios. This simplistic design not only limits the adaptability and effectiveness of massage but also fails to meet users' demands for multifunctional and personalized health care, gradually becoming incompatible with the diversified scenarios of modern health and wellness.

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-7 The present invention provides the following technical solution: an acupoint massage stick with built-in Chinese medicine slow-release component, including a massage stick body 1 and a stick head 2 installed at the bottom end of the massage stick body 1, an air vent 3 is opened on the bottom end surface of the massage stick body 1, and a control button 4 is connected to the surface of the massage stick body 1. The massage stick body 1 has an inner cylinder 5 installed inside. A power box 6 is installed at the top of the inner cylinder 5. A carbon fiber heating rod 7 is installed inside the inner cylinder 5 near the power box 6. A partition 8 is installed inside the inner cylinder 5 near the power box 6 and the carbon fiber heating rod 7. A radiation plate 9 is installed inside the inner cylinder 5 near the carbon fiber heating rod 7. A medicated core groove 10 is provided inside the inner cylinder 5. A volatilization hole 11 is opened on the bottom surface of the inner cylinder 5. A medicated plate 12 is connected to the medicated filling port on the surface of the inner cylinder 5. A buckle 13 is connected to the inner wall surface of the medicated plate. Positioning plates 14 are connected to both sides of the top of the inner cylinder 5. A handle 15 is connected to the top surface of the massage stick body 1. An assembly plate 16 is connected to the bottom end of the handle 15. The assembly plate 16 is threadedly connected to the top of the massage stick body 1.

[0025] It is worth noting that: Appendix Figure 7 Component 'a' is a microcontroller, such as the HC32L130, a low-power single-chip microcontroller. Its internal timing module accurately records the massage stick's runtime and single-use time data. It can also be programmed with timed start / stop functions. For example, after the massage stick is activated, the microcontroller starts timing; once the user-set time is reached, it sends a command to stop the motor. This time data is stored for later synchronization with a mobile phone. Basic time control is achieved by generating pulse signals in conjunction with the circuitry. Component 'b' is an integrated Bluetooth module, model Shengrun HY-254112, which interacts with a mobile app, providing functions such as acupoint navigation, treatment plan selection, usage records, effect evaluation, and remote guidance.

[0026] Preferably, the power supply box 6 and the carbon fiber heating rod 7 are electrically connected via wiring terminals, and the power supply box 6 is replaceable.

[0027] In practical use, after the carbon fiber heating rod 7 is connected to the power supply, the carbon fiber heating element inside generates stable Joule heat due to the current passing through it. The heating temperature can be precisely controlled between 45-65℃, which is suitable for the optimal temperature range for the volatilization of traditional Chinese medicine, avoiding the destruction of the effective components of traditional Chinese medicine by high temperature. This heat is radiated outward in the form of far-infrared rays. The wavelength of far-infrared rays is similar to the resonance frequency of human cells, with strong penetration and uniform heat transfer. It can pass through the pre-set openings on the surface of the radiation plate 9 and be directionally conducted, directly acting on the traditional Chinese medicine inside the medicine core slot 10. Under the continuous warming effect, the volatile oils, active alkaloids and other effective components in the traditional Chinese medicine gradually vaporize and volatilize, forming a mild traditional Chinese medicine smoke. Preferably, the inner cylinder 5 forms a sliding fitting structure with the opening in the inner wall of the massage stick body 1 through the positioning plate 14.

[0028] Preferably, the evaporation holes 11 on the surface of the inner cylinder 5 are connected to the vent holes 3.

[0029] In practical use, by fitting and connecting the positioning plate 14 on the surface of the inner cylinder 5 with the opening on the inner wall of the massage stick body 1, the evaporation hole 11 and the air outlet 3 are connected to ensure the subsequent flow and diffusion of the flue gas.

[0030] Preferably, the bottom end of the assembly plate 16 is connected to a base plate 17, and a set of buffer springs 18 are connected to the inner wall of the base plate 17. The set of buffer springs 18 are distributed in a circle inside the base plate 17.

[0031] Preferably, a rubber plate 19 is connected to one end of the buffer spring 18 relative to the base plate 17, and the rubber plate 19 and the buffer spring 18 form an elastic telescopic structure.

[0032] Preferably, the bottom surface of the rubber sheet 19 is fitted and connected to the top of the inner cylinder 5.

[0033] In practical use, after the inner cylinder 5 is precisely embedded into the preset mounting cavity inside the massage stick body 1, fixation and buffering protection are achieved through the coordinated assembly of the handle 15 and the assembly plate 16. The assembly plate 16 precisely engages with the internal thread of the end of the massage stick body 1 using its edge threads. After tightening by rotating clockwise, the handle 15 and the massage stick body 1 are integrated and fixed. During this assembly process, the handle 15 will simultaneously drive the rubber plate 19 on the bottom surface to move into the massage stick body 1 until the inner end face of the rubber plate 19 is tightly attached to the top surface of the inner cylinder 5. The rubber plate 19 is made of highly elastic medical-grade silicone material, which can avoid hard contact with the inner cylinder 5 and cause damage. Wear and tear, and can adapt to the slight curvature of the inner cylinder top through its own elastic deformation to achieve a full fit. At the same time, the outer side of the rubber plate 19 is elastically connected to the buffer spring 18. After assembly, it is in a slightly pre-compressed state. When the massage stick vibrates during operation, or is accidentally subjected to a slight impact during use, the buffer spring 18 will absorb the impact force through compression and rebound, while the rubber plate 19 will simultaneously play a damping and buffering role. The double buffer structure effectively weakens the transmission of vibration and impact force to the inner cylinder 5, and avoids the electrical components inside the inner cylinder from falling off, breaking wires or being damaged due to vibration and collision, thus ensuring the stable operation and service life of the massage stick.

[0034] Preferably, the surface of the massage stick body 1 is fitted with a protective sleeve 20, and the surface of the protective sleeve 20 is provided with raised dots 21.

[0035] Preferably, both the sheath 20 and the raised dots 21 are made of silicone, and the raised dots 21 have a cylindrical structure.

[0036] In practical use, a silicone sleeve 20 is fitted to the grip area of ​​the massage stick, with evenly distributed raised dots 21 integrally molded on the surface of the sleeve. This optimizes the grip experience from both material properties and structural design perspectives, ensuring comprehensive hand comfort during use. The silicone material possesses excellent softness and skin-friendliness, with a delicate and warm touch, allowing it to closely conform to the skin of the hand, effectively cushioning pressure during gripping and preventing hand soreness caused by prolonged tight gripping. Simultaneously, it has good elasticity and anti-slip properties, ensuring comfort even when hands are sweaty or slightly oily. It can form a stable grip friction to prevent the massage stick from slipping out of the hand. The raised dots 21 on the surface of the cover are hemispherical with uniform spacing and moderate height. They will not cause hand pressure due to excessive protrusion, and the textured surface will increase breathability when gripping, reduce the contact area between the hand and the cover, and avoid the feeling of stuffiness after prolonged contact. In addition, the silicone cover 20 can also play a role in cushioning and shock absorption, weakening the vibration transmitted to the hand when the massage stick is working, further improving grip comfort, and allowing users to keep their hands relaxed during long massage operations.

[0037] The working principle of this invention in specific use is as follows: First, by installing the inner cylinder 5 inside the massage stick body 1, the positioning plates 14 on both sides of the top of the inner cylinder 5 slide and fit along the opening on the inner wall of the massage stick body 1, stably fitting the inner cylinder 5 inside the massage stick body 1, ensuring that the evaporation hole 11 is aligned with the air outlet 3 on the surface of the massage stick body 1. Additionally, the assembly plate 16 at the bottom of the handle 15 is threadedly sealed to the opening at the top of the massage stick body 1, facilitating quick assembly and disassembly, allowing users to change medications according to different symptoms or needs. Then, by operating the control button 4, power is supplied between the carbon fiber heating rod 7 and the power supply box 6. At this time, after the carbon fiber heating rod 7 is powered on, its internal carbon fiber heating element generates stable Joule heat due to the current flow, and the heating temperature can reach [a certain value]. Precisely controlled at 45-65℃, this temperature range is optimal for the volatilization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), preventing damage to its effective components from high temperatures. The heat is radiated outwards in the form of far-infrared rays. The wavelength of far-infrared rays is similar to the resonant frequency of human cells, resulting in strong penetration and uniform heat transfer. It can pass through the pre-set openings on the surface of the radiation plate 9 and be directionally conducted, directly acting on the TCM medicine inside the core tank 10. Under continuous heating, the volatile oils, active alkaloids, and other effective components in the TCM medicine gradually vaporize and volatilize, forming a gentle TCM smoke. The inner wall of the core tank 10 is designed with a porous, breathable material, which accelerates the diffusion of the smoke. It first permeates through the volatilization holes 11 on the tank body to the head 2 area, and then is directionally discharged through the pre-set vent holes 3 on the massage stick body, forming a "heating- The complete airflow channel of "evaporation-extraction" allows the herbal smoke emitted when the stick head 2 is applied to acupoints for massage to precisely cover the massage area, achieving a dual synergistic therapy of "physical massage + herbal fumigation": on the one hand, the pressure or vibration of the stick head stimulates acupoints, unblocks meridians, and promotes local blood circulation; on the other hand, the effective components in the herbal smoke are absorbed through the skin pores, while simultaneously stimulating the nerve endings and meridian system around the acupoints, further enhancing the conditioning effect. This simultaneous action not only exerts the soothing effect of physical massage but also utilizes the pharmacological properties of traditional Chinese medicine for targeted conditioning, effectively improving the auxiliary treatment effect on problems such as muscle soreness, joint discomfort, and poor blood circulation, making it suitable for diverse scenarios such as family health care and traditional Chinese medicine therapy.
