Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of auxiliary devices for traditional Chinese medicine therapy, specifically a fixation device for preventing the cupping therapy from falling off. Background Technology
[0002] Cupping therapy, an important component of traditional Chinese medicine, is widely used in clinical treatments and daily health maintenance due to its ease of operation and definite efficacy. It is applied to unblocking meridians, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and dispelling cold and dampness. The core principle of this therapy is to expel air from the cup through burning or suction, creating negative pressure inside the cup. This pressure then adheres to the skin, stimulating local meridians and acupoints to regulate the body and treat diseases.
[0003] However, in practical applications of traditional Chinese cupping therapy, the cups used are mostly single, hollow structures, and their adhesion to the skin relies solely on the negative pressure difference between the inside and outside of the cup. During treatment, patient discomfort, positional adjustments, or unconscious minor movements can cause relative displacement at the contact interface between the cup and the skin. Simultaneously, the cup's own weight creates a downward force on the end furthest from the skin, further disrupting the stability of the negative pressure adhesion and ultimately causing the cup to detach from the skin, interrupting the treatment. If the cup contains residual warm media (such as alcohol swabs or warm medicinal solutions commonly used in cupping), or if the cup itself is made of brittle materials like glass or ceramic, the fall may cause burns to the patient's skin.
[0004] Therefore, this application provides a fixation device for preventing the cupping stick from falling off, in order to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This application provides a cupping fixation device to prevent cupping from falling off, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the existing cupping cups relying solely on negative pressure adsorption being prone to falling off due to changes in the patient's body position or their own gravity, leading to treatment interruption, and the safety hazards such as burns from the hot medium when falling off.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a cupping fixation device for preventing detachment, comprising a support plate, with multiple support legs equidistantly fixed to the bottom sides of the support plate along its length; a detachable fixing mechanism mounted on the support plate for fixing the cupping jar, the fixing mechanism comprising a guide rail, a positioning ring fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide rail for supporting the cupping jar, a compression plate disposed above the positioning ring for pressing the top of the cupping jar, a vertical groove formed on the guide rail, a lifting block slidably disposed in the vertical groove and fixedly connected to the compression plate, and a spring fixedly disposed between the upper end of the lifting block and the vertical groove. Through the design of the detachable fixing mechanism, the cupping jar can be stably fixed on the guide rail, effectively preventing the cupping jar from detaching from the skin when the patient's position changes slightly, ensuring the continuity and integrity of the treatment process. Simultaneously, multiple fixing mechanisms can be flexibly installed according to treatment needs, adapting to the requirement of simultaneous cupping of multiple sites, and improving treatment efficiency.
[0007] The support plate is arc-shaped to conform to the curvature of the human back.
[0008] To prevent the positioning ring from scratching the can body, a medical-grade silicone pad is fixedly embedded on the inner side of the positioning ring for contact with the outer wall of the can body. This prevents the positioning ring from making hard contact with the outer wall of the can body, which could cause scratches. At the same time, it increases the friction between the can body and the positioning ring, helping to improve the stability of the can body. Furthermore, the medical-grade silicone material is safe, non-toxic, soft, and skin-friendly, and will not cause harm to the can body or the human body.
[0009] To prevent the lifting block from detaching from the vertical groove: a vertical rod is fixedly connected inside the vertical groove, the lifting block is slidably sleeved on the vertical rod through a through hole, and the spring is sleeved on the vertical rod. This effectively prevents the lifting block from detaching from the vertical groove, provides precise guidance for the lifting block's lifting movement, ensures the smoothness of the extrusion plate's up-and-down movement, and at the same time avoids the spring from tilting or tangling during extension and contraction, ensuring the stable and reliable elastic force of the spring.
[0010] For ease of installation: a U-shaped bracket is provided at the end of the guide rail away from the extrusion plate. A first knurled bolt is threaded into the top of the U-shaped bracket via a screw hole for contacting the outer wall of the support plate. The cooperation between the U-shaped bracket and the first knurled bolt enables a quick and detachable connection between the fixing mechanism and the support plate. Installation is simple and fast, requiring no complex tools, and the connection is secure and not easily loosened, facilitating subsequent disassembly, storage, or replacement of the fixing mechanism.
[0011] To prevent the U-shaped bracket from detaching from the support plate: an arc-shaped guide groove is provided on the support plate, and a guide block for fitting the arc-shaped guide groove is fixedly connected to the inner side of the U-shaped bracket. The cooperation between the arc-shaped guide groove and the guide block effectively prevents the fixing mechanism from detaching from the support plate during adjustment, while providing precise guidance for fine-tuning the position of the fixing mechanism on the support plate, ensuring a smooth and stable adjustment process and improving operational convenience.
[0012] To facilitate adjustment of the vertical position of the canister: a slider connected to the U-shaped bracket is slidably mounted on the guide rail, and a second knurled bolt is threaded into the slider via a screw hole for contacting the outer wall of the guide rail. Through the cooperation of the slider and the second knurled bolt, the vertical position of the canister can be quickly adjusted to suit the treatment needs of different heights on the back of the human body. The adjustment operation is simple, and the canister is firmly fixed after adjustment, ensuring that it can be accurately aligned with the target treatment position.
[0013] To facilitate adjustment of the can's angle: a rotating rod, fixedly connected to the slider, is rotatably inserted into one end of the U-shaped bracket near the slider. A third knurled bolt, for contacting the outer wall of the rotating rod, is threaded into the top of the U-shaped bracket via a screw hole. Through the cooperation of the rotating rod and the third knurled bolt, the suction angle of the can can be flexibly adjusted to suit different curvatures of the back, ensuring a tight fit between the can and the skin surface, enhancing the negative pressure suction and therapeutic effect. The adjustment process is simple and quick, and the angle is stable after fixing.
[0014] This application utilizes a detachable fixing mechanism to stably secure the cupping jar to the guide rail, effectively preventing the jar from detaching from the skin when the patient's position changes slightly, ensuring the continuity and integrity of the treatment process. At the same time, multiple fixing mechanisms can be flexibly installed according to treatment needs, adapting to the requirement of cupping multiple sites simultaneously, thus improving treatment efficiency.
[0015] This application achieves a quick and detachable connection between the fixing mechanism and the support plate through the cooperation of the U-shaped bracket and the first knurled bolt. The installation operation is simple and quick, without complicated tools, and the connection is firm after fixing, not easy to loosen, and convenient for subsequent disassembly, storage or replacement of the fixing mechanism.
[0016] This application allows for quick adjustment of the vertical position of the canister through the cooperation of the slider and the second knurled bolt, adapting to the treatment needs of different heights on the human back. The adjustment operation is simple, and the canister is firmly fixed after adjustment, ensuring that it can be accurately aligned with the target treatment position.
[0017] This application, through the cooperation of the rotating rod and the third knurled bolt, can flexibly adjust the adsorption angle of the can, adapt to the treatment area of different curved surfaces on the human back, ensure that the can is in close contact with the skin surface, improve the negative pressure adsorption effect and the treatment effect, the adjustment process is simple and quick, and the angle is stable after fixing.

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0021] This embodiment provides a fixation device for preventing the cupping therapy from falling off, such as... Figure 1-6As shown, the support device includes a support plate 1, with multiple support legs 11 fixedly connected at equal intervals along the length of both sides of the bottom of the support plate 1; and a detachable fixing mechanism 2 mounted on the support plate 1 for fixing the cupping jar. The fixing mechanism 2 includes a guide rail 21, a positioning ring 22 fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide rail 21 for supporting the cupping jar, a compression plate 23 positioned above the positioning ring 22 for pressing the top of the cupping jar, a vertical groove 24 formed on the guide rail 21, a lifting block 25 slidably disposed in the vertical groove 24 and fixedly connected to the compression plate 23, and a spring 26 fixedly disposed between the upper end of the lifting block 25 and the vertical groove 24. The detachable fixing mechanism 2 design allows the cupping jar to be stably fixed on the guide rail 21, effectively preventing the cupping jar from detaching from the skin when the patient's position changes slightly, ensuring the continuity and integrity of the treatment process. Furthermore, multiple fixing mechanisms 2 can be flexibly installed according to treatment needs, adapting to the requirement of simultaneous cupping of multiple sites and improving treatment efficiency. In use, the support plate 1 is first suspended above the user's back by the support leg 11, and then the fixing mechanism 2 is installed on the support plate 1. During operation, the spring 26 is overcome, and the lifting block 25 is moved upward along the vertical groove 24 by the pressing plate 23, so that the spring 26 contracts and stores force. Then, the can end is inserted downward into the positioning ring 22. After the pressing plate 23 is released, the spring 26 releases its elastic force and pushes the lifting block 25 downward along the vertical groove 24, causing the pressing plate 23 to press down against the top of the can. Through the supporting action of the positioning ring 22 and the pressing action of the pressing plate 23, the can is firmly fixed on the guide rail 21, ensuring that the position of the can remains unchanged.
[0022] The support plate 1 is arc-shaped to conform to the curvature of the human back.
[0023] To prevent the positioning ring 22 from scratching the can body, a medical-grade silicone pad 221 is fixedly embedded on the inner side of the positioning ring 22 for contact with the outer wall of the can body. This prevents hard contact between the positioning ring 22 and the outer wall of the can body, thus avoiding scratches. It also increases the friction between the can body and the positioning ring 22, helping to improve the stability of the can body. Furthermore, the medical-grade silicone material is safe, non-toxic, soft, and skin-friendly, and will not cause harm to the can body or the human body. When the can body is inserted into the positioning ring 22, the silicone pad 221 directly contacts the outer wall of the can body. Its soft material properties can buffer the contact pressure between the positioning ring 22 and the can body, avoiding scratches caused by hard contact. At the same time, the surface of the silicone pad 221 has a certain degree of friction, which can increase the frictional resistance between the can body and the positioning ring 22, preventing the can body from loosening or shifting within the positioning ring 22.
[0024] To prevent the lifting block 25 from detaching from the vertical groove 24: a vertical rod 241 is fixedly connected inside the vertical groove 24. The lifting block 25 is slidably sleeved on the vertical rod 241 through a through hole, and the spring 26 is sleeved on the vertical rod 241. This effectively prevents the lifting block 25 from detaching from the vertical groove 24, provides precise guidance for the lifting movement of the lifting block 25, ensures the smooth up-and-down movement of the extrusion plate 23, and prevents the spring 26 from tilting or tangling during extension and retraction, ensuring the stable and reliable elastic force of the spring 26. The vertical rod 241 forms an axial limit on the lifting block 25, restricting the lifting block 25 to slide only along the length direction of the vertical rod 241, preventing the lifting block 25 from deviating or detaching from the vertical groove 24 during movement; at the same time, the spring 26 is sleeved on the vertical rod 241, and the vertical rod 241 guides and limits the spring 26, preventing the spring 26 from tilting, twisting, or tangling with the inner wall of the vertical groove 24 during extension and retraction, ensuring that the spring 26 can extend and retract smoothly and stably transmit elastic force.
[0025] For ease of installation: A U-shaped bracket 3 is provided at the end of the guide rail 21 away from the extrusion plate 23. The top of the U-shaped bracket 3 is threaded with a first knurled bolt 31 for contacting the outer wall of the support plate 1. Through the cooperation of the U-shaped bracket 3 and the first knurled bolt 31, the fixing mechanism 2 and the support plate 1 can be quickly and detachably connected. The installation operation is simple and quick, requiring no complicated tools. After fixing, the connection is firm and not easy to loosen, which facilitates subsequent disassembly, storage, or replacement of the fixing mechanism 2. By rotating the first knurled bolt 31, the first knurled bolt 31 moves along the screw hole towards the support plate 1 until its end is in close contact with the outer wall of the support plate 1. The friction between the first knurled bolt 31 and the support plate 1 is used to fix the U-shaped bracket 3 to the support plate 1, thereby installing the fixing mechanism 2 on the support plate 1. To disassemble, rotate the first knurled bolt 31 in the opposite direction to disengage its end from the support plate 1, and the U-shaped bracket 3 can be removed from the support plate 1, completing the disassembly of the fixing mechanism 2.
[0026] To prevent the U-shaped bracket 3 from detaching from the support plate 1, an arc-shaped guide groove 12 is provided on the support plate 1. A guide block 32, which is adapted to the arc-shaped guide groove 12, is fixedly connected to the inner side of the U-shaped bracket 3. Through the cooperation of the arc-shaped guide groove 12 and the guide block 32, the fixing mechanism 2 is effectively prevented from detaching from the support plate 1 during the adjustment process. At the same time, it provides precise guidance for the fine-tuning of the position of the fixing mechanism 2 on the support plate 1, ensuring a smooth and stable adjustment process and improving the ease of operation. The guide block 32 is adapted to the arc-shaped guide groove 12 and embedded in the groove; the arc-shaped guide groove 12 forms a radial limit on the guide block 32, preventing the U-shaped bracket 3 from detaching from the support plate 1; when it is necessary to fine-tune the position of the fixing mechanism 2 on the support plate 1, the guide block 32 can slide along the trajectory of the arc-shaped guide groove 12, providing guidance for the movement of the fixing mechanism 2, ensuring a smooth and stable adjustment process, and avoiding jamming or deviation.
[0027] To facilitate adjustment of the vertical position of the canister: a slider 4 connected to the U-shaped bracket 3 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 21. A second knurled bolt 41, for contacting the outer wall of the guide rail 21, is threaded into the slider 4 via a screw hole. Through the cooperation of the slider 4 and the second knurled bolt 41, the vertical position of the canister can be quickly adjusted to suit the treatment needs of different heights on the back of the human body. The adjustment operation is simple, and the canister is firmly fixed after adjustment, ensuring that it can be accurately aligned with the target treatment position. The slider 4 can slide up and down along the length of the guide rail 21, causing the U-shaped bracket 3, support plate 1, and canister to move up and down synchronously, thereby adjusting the vertical position of the canister. When the target height is reached, the second knurled bolt 41 is rotated to move it along the screw hole towards the guide rail 21 until its end is in close contact with the outer wall of the guide rail 21. Friction is used to fix the position of the slider 4 on the guide rail 21, thus locking the vertical height of the canister.
[0028] To facilitate adjustment of the can's angle: a rotating rod 33, fixedly connected to the slider 4, is rotatably inserted into the end of the U-shaped bracket 3 near the slider 4. A third knurled bolt 34, for contacting the outer wall of the rotating rod 33, is threaded into the top of the U-shaped bracket 3 via a screw hole. Through the cooperation of the rotating rod 33 and the third knurled bolt 34, the suction angle of the can can be flexibly adjusted to suit different curvatures of the back, ensuring a tight fit between the can and the skin surface, improving the negative pressure suction effect and treatment efficacy. The adjustment process is simple and quick, and the angle is stable after fixing. The slider 4 can drive the rotating rod 33 to rotate around the U-shaped bracket 3, thereby synchronously adjusting the angle of the guide rail 21 and the can, allowing the can's port to adapt to different curvatures of the back. After adjusting to the appropriate suction angle, the third knurled bolt 34 is rotated, moving it along the screw hole towards the rotating rod 33 until its end is in tight contact with the outer wall of the rotating rod 33. Friction is used to fix the rotation position of the rotating rod 33, thus locking the suction angle of the can.
[0029] It should be noted that many of the standard parts used in this application are available on the market, while non-standard parts can be specially customized. The connection method used in this application is also a very common method in the mechanical field, and will not be described in detail here.
[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
