Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a device that acts on acupoints on the fingers, belonging to the field of medical device product technology. Background Technology
[0002] Acupoint therapy is a commonly used treatment method in natural medicine, especially traditional Chinese medicine. It usually requires professional doctors to operate. Because acupoints are located all over the body, the risks of treatment vary greatly. For example, acupuncture in the chest carries the risk of pneumothorax, and acupuncture at points such as the Yamen acupoint in the neck carries the risk of central nervous system damage. However, finger acupoint therapy is different. It is almost risk-free, and the fingers are usually exposed, making it convenient to operate. Patients can easily operate it themselves or under the guidance of a doctor. There are many finger acupoints, covering a wide range of diseases, such as Shangyang, Shaoshang, and Shaochong. However, finger acupoint devices need to solve the problems of accurate acupoint positioning, fixed acupoint stimulation structure, coordination of passive and active stimulation, and coordination of continuous and intermittent stimulation. The market needs convenient finger acupoint devices that can be operated by both patients and doctors. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides a device for acting on acupoints on the fingers, which can accurately locate and perform stable and convenient acupoint treatment.
[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved as follows:
[0005] A device for acupoints on the fingers includes: a membrane-like base band that adheres to the finger, and a fixing member disposed on the inner and / or outer surfaces of the base band. The fixing member acts directly on the finger skin or on the base band, and assists in wrapping and fixing the base band to the finger. The base band has a through hole, and a cylindrical window is connected to the base band portion around the through hole through a ring-shaped window frame distributed on it. The open space inside the window forms a window. The device also includes a cover that can be fastened to the window. A linear or strip-shaped flexible connector is provided between the cover and the window. The outer side of the cover is the area where external force is applied, and the inner side of the cover has an acupoint ...
[0006] The finger acupoints refer to point-like functional areas located on the fingers that are used for diagnosing, nursing, and treating diseases. They are located at the position extending from the skin surface to the subcutaneous layer. The depth of different acupoints may vary. Finger acupoints include, but are not limited to, the finger acupoints described in the twelve meridians. Ashi points and Dong's acupoints located on the fingers also belong to the finger acupoints described in this patent.
[0007] The window structure facilitates locating, locking, and observing finger acupoints; the base band and fixing components ensure the target acupoint is located within the window; the area of the window frame that contacts the finger skin is preferably designed with an arc shape conforming to the finger's contour, and the window frame can also be made of easily deformable flexible materials to ensure a full fit between the window and the finger, allowing the window's central axis to be perpendicular to the finger acupoint; an easily bendable connector links the cover to the base band, preventing the cover from falling off or being lost; the flexible, easily bendable base band can wrap around fingers of different diameters; the acupoint-acting component on the cover at least partially penetrates the window to directly or apply force to the target acupoint; one window per acupoint, for targeted acupoint treatment. Precise pressing or other stimulation; the finger not wrapped with the baseband can be used to press the target acupoint on the target finger wrapped with the baseband, and the pressure is transmitted to the acupoint action component by pressing the cover to act on the target acupoint; the target finger wrapped with the baseband can also be pressed against a table or other hard object, and the target acupoint is stimulated by the reaction force; multiple fingers can be wrapped with the baseband and pressed against each other, and the target acupoints on the target fingers wrapped with the baseband must be located within the window of the window connected to the baseband. The multiple fingers wrapped with the baseband can be multiple fingers belonging to one hand or fingers belonging to two hands; the flexible connector facilitates the fastening of the cover and the window.
[0008] One structure involves a window of the form covered with a transparent film; the transparent film has positioning indicators, including crosshairs and triangles; the transparent film is easily deformed by pressure or easily punctured; the transparent film can block airborne particles from contaminating the target acupoints during use, while also facilitating observation of the target acupoints; for users with weakened immune systems, the sterile form and the transparent film on the window can further prevent possible bacterial infections at the target acupoints.
[0009] Preferably, the area on the outer side of the cover that can contact the fingers is larger than the window area. The larger contact area on the outer side of the cover is beneficial for other fingers to press on the acupoint stimulation component on the target finger, thus stimulating the target acupoint more powerfully.
[0010] The fixing components on the baseband are skin adhesive applied locally to the baseband or hooks that can be combined with each other, or they can be magnetically attached components or snap-fit components; the fixing components stabilize the position of the baseband and the windows on it, which is conducive to continuous or intermittent precise acupoint stimulation; the combined hook structure can be reused multiple times, saving costs.
[0011] The flexible connector between the cover and the window is made of independent components or formed by partial cutting of the base strip. The connector formed by cutting the base strip leaves a defect area in the base strip. It can be formed by only partially cutting the base strip to form the connector, or by removing part of the base strip to form the connector. The connector formed by partial cutting of the base strip is simple to manufacture and has a lower cost. The defect area of the base strip makes it easy to peel the cover off the base strip with your fingers.
[0012] The acupoint stimulation components located inside the lid include one or more of the following: a pressing body, a sharp needle, Chinese herbal tablets, Chinese herbal ointments, Chinese herbal wines, Chinese herbal pills, Chinese herbal powders, Chinese herbal elixirs, ultrasonic patches, non-needle electrostimulation components, heat-generating components, and cooling components. The pressing body can be a magnetic ball or a conductive metal, and can be coated with Chinese or Western medicine. Various acupoint stimulation components can also interact with each other; for example, the pressing body can also act on Chinese herbal tablets and ointments. Using materials with high thermal conductivity, such as metals, for the pressing body can facilitate acupoint thermotherapy and cryotherapy.
[0013] The inner side of the baseband around the through hole is provided with a fixing component that directly acts on the finger skin. Setting the finger skin fixing component around the through hole of the soft baseband is beneficial for better fixing of the window, and skin adhesive is preferred.
[0014] The inner side of the cover that engages with the window has annular protrusions or annular grooves, which are interference fit with the annularly distributed windows and / or window frames; the interference fit between the cover and the windows and / or window frames makes them less likely to fall off, and the acupoint stimulation component on the inner side of the cover still exerts a certain pressure on the target acupoints without additional external force, which can continuously stimulate the target acupoints.
[0015] The outer side of the cover is provided with an external electrical interface, through which external current can be transmitted to the acupoint stimulation component located inside the cover. The acupoint stimulation component includes a sharp needle or a conductive non-needle electrical stimulation component.
[0016] Convenient acupoint electrical stimulation can enhance the effect of acupoint treatment. Combined with the meridian flow time medical theory, the current can be generated at specific time points and time periods, and different current intensities can be applied to carry out more individualized and precise treatment.
[0017] It also includes a current release unit, which is connected to the electrical interface on the outside of the cover. The current release unit releases a preset program of current to stimulate the acupoints located in the window. The current release unit is equipped with a control chip and circuit board, which can set a variety of acupoint stimulation programs to automatically and accurately realize the TCM tonification and sedation operations on the target acupoints.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0019] 1. The window structure makes it easy to find, lock, and observe finger acupoints.
[0020] 2. The baseband and fixing components facilitate the fixing of the window, so that the target acupoint is located within the window.
[0021] 3. When using the window frame, the area that contacts the skin of the finger is designed to be curved in shape to fit the contour of the finger. The window frame is made of a flexible material that is easy to deform, which is conducive to the full fit between the window and the finger, so that the central axis of the window can be perpendicular to the acupoint on the finger.
[0022] 4. An easily bendable connector links the cover to the baseband, preventing the cover from falling off and being lost.
[0023] 5. The flexible, bendable base band can wrap around fingers of different diameters.
[0024] 6. At least part of the acupoint-acting component on the cover penetrates the window directly or after force is applied to the target acupoint.
[0025] 7. One acupoint, one window, for precise pressure or other stimulation of the target acupoint. The finger not wrapped with the baseband can be used to press the target acupoint on the target finger wrapped with the baseband. The pressure is transmitted to the acupoint action component by pressing the cover, thereby acting on the target acupoint. Alternatively, the target finger wrapped with the baseband can be pressed against a table or other hard object to stimulate the target acupoint through the reaction force. Multiple fingers can also be wrapped with the baseband and pressed against each other.
[0026] 8. The window of the window is covered with a transparent film. The transparent film is easily deformed by pressure or easily punctured. When used, the transparent film can block airborne particles from contaminating the target acupoints and also facilitate the observation of the target acupoints. For users with low immunity, the transparent film can further prevent possible bacterial infection at the target acupoints.
[0027] 9. The larger contact area on the outer side of the cover is beneficial for other fingers to press on the acupoints on the target fingers, thus stimulating the target acupoints more powerfully.
[0028] 10. The connector is formed by partially cutting the baseband, which simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces costs. The missing area of the baseband makes it easy to peel the cover off the baseband with your fingers.
[0029] 11. Acupoint stimulation components include one or more of the following: pressing body, sharp needle body, Chinese medicine tablets, Chinese medicine ointments, Chinese medicine wines, Chinese medicine pills, Chinese medicine powders, Chinese medicine elixirs, ultrasonic patches, non-needle electrical stimulation components, heat generation components, and cooling components, to meet different clinical treatment needs.
[0030] 12. The interference fit between the cover and the window and / or window frame makes them less likely to fall off. The acupoint-acting component inside the cover still exerts a certain pressure on the target acupoint without additional external force, which can continuously stimulate the target acupoint and enhance the therapeutic effect.
[0031] 13. The convenient acupoint electrical stimulation structure can enhance the effect of acupoint treatment. Combined with the meridian flow time medical theory, the current can be generated at specific time points and time periods. At the same time, different current intensities can be applied for more individualized and precise treatment. The current release unit is equipped with a control chip and circuit board, which can set multiple acupoint stimulation programs to automatically and accurately realize the TCM tonification and sedation operations on the target acupoints.

[0057] The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following:
[0058] Example 1:
[0059] Figure 1A The image shows the Shangyang acupoint (located on the left index finger, F2) as the target acupoint 6. A device that acts on acupoints on the fingers is described, using the Shangyang acupoint as an example. Figure 1B-1G As shown, it includes: a membrane-like base band 1 that fits against the finger, and a fixing member 13 disposed on the inner side 11 and / or outer side 12 of the base band 1. The fixing member 13 acts directly on the finger skin or on the base band 1, and the fixing member 13 assists in wrapping and fixing the base band 1 to the finger. The base band 1 is provided with a through hole 10. Figure 1B A cylindrical window 2 is connected to the base portion around the through hole 10 via a ring-shaped window frame 21, which can be glued or welded. The open space inside the window 2 forms a window 20. It also includes a cover 3 that can be fastened to the window 2. A flexible, strip-shaped connector 4 is provided between the cover 3 and the window 2. The outer side 32 of the cover 3 is the area where external force is applied. The inner side 31 of the cover 3 has an acupoint acupoint component 311 that cooperates with the cover 3. The acupoint acupoint component 311 can apply external force to acupoints or directly insert into acupoints. The acupoint acupoint component 311 can be an independent component or directly formed by the inner side 31 of the cover 3. The inner side 31 of the cover 3 refers to the side facing the skin during use. Figure 1EWhen using it, first align the window 20 with the acupoint 6 on the finger, then wrap the base band 1 around the finger and fix it. Bend the connector 4 so that the acupoint action component 311 on the inner side 31 of the cover 3 can be inserted into the window 20. The acupoint action component 311 can act stably and accurately on the acupoint 6.
[0060] The finger target acupoint 6 refers to a point-like functional area on the finger that has the function of diagnosing, nursing and treating diseases. It is located at the position extending from the skin surface to the subcutaneous layer. The depth of different acupoints may vary. The finger target acupoints include, but are not limited to, the finger acupoints described in the twelve meridians. Ashi points and Dong's acupoints located on the fingers also belong to the finger acupoints described in this patent.
[0061] The outer side 32 of the cover 3 has a larger contact area with the fingers than the window 20. The larger contact area of the outer side 32 of the cover 3 facilitates the pressure of other fingers on the acupoint stimulation component 311 on the target finger, resulting in more powerful stimulation of the target acupoint.
[0062] In this embodiment, the fixing member 13 on the baseband 1 is a skin adhesive 13a applied locally. The adhesive 13a can be applied to the inner side 11 and / or the outer side 12 of the baseband, so as to make it easy to wrap and fix the baseband 1 around the finger.
[0063] like Figure 1B A fixing member 13 that directly acts on the finger skin can be provided on the inner side 11 of the baseband 1 around the through hole 10 of the baseband 1. Setting the finger skin fixing member 13 around the through hole 10 of the soft baseband 1 is beneficial to better fix the window 2. Skin adhesive 13a is preferred.
[0064] In this example, the easily bendable connecting body 4 between the cover 3 and the window 2 is formed by partially cutting off the base strip 1, such as... Figure 1B The connector 4a formed by cutting has a dividing line 402 between it and the base band 1. The connector 4a formed by cutting includes a head 41 connected to the cover 3 and a neck 42 connected to the base band 1. The head 41 of the connector is provided with an assembly hole 400 to facilitate the inner side 31 of the cover to be connected. The connector 4 is formed by partially cutting the base band 1. The manufacturing process is simple and the cost is lower.
[0065] The inner side 31 of the cover 3, which is fastened to the window 2, is provided with an annular protrusion 31a or an annular groove (not shown), which is interference fit with the annularly distributed windows 20 and / or window frames 21; the interference fit between the cover 3 and the windows 20 and / or window frames 21 makes them less likely to fall off, and the acupoint action component 311 on the inner side 31 of the cover still has a certain pressure on the target acupoint without additional external force, which can continuously stimulate the target acupoint.
[0066] like Figure 1CThe inner side 31 of the cover 3, which engages with the window 2, is shaped like a ball and is composed of annular protruding ribs 31a. The acupoint acupoint action component 311 is a spherical pressing body 311a. Figure 1D The spherical pressing body 311a is embedded in the inner side 31 of the spherical cover 3 formed by the annular protrusion 31a. The connector head 41 is separated from the baseband 1, exposing the connector gap 40 on the baseband 1. This gap 40 helps to dissipate heat from the local skin after the baseband 1 is wrapped around the hand.
[0067] The acupoint stimulation components 311 located on the inner side 31 of the cover 3 include one or more of the following: a pressure body 311a that does not pierce the skin; a sharp needle body 311b that easily pierces the skin (see Example 3); a traditional Chinese medicine tablet, a traditional Chinese medicine ointment, a traditional Chinese medicine wine, a traditional Chinese medicine pill, a traditional Chinese medicine powder, a traditional Chinese medicine elixir, an ultrasonic patch, a non-needle electrostimulation component, a heat-generating component, and a cooling component. The pressure body can be a magnetic ball or a conductive metal, and can be coated with traditional Chinese or Western medicine. Various acupoint stimulation components 311 can also interact with each other; for example, the pressure body 311a can also act on traditional Chinese medicine tablets and ointments. Using materials with high thermal conductivity, such as metal, for the pressure body 311a can facilitate acupoint thermotherapy and cryotherapy.
[0068] The window 20 structure facilitates the locating, locking, and observation of finger acupoints; the base band 1 and fixing component 13 ensure that the target acupoint is located within the window 20; the area of the window frame 21 that contacts the finger skin during use is preferably designed as an arc shape conforming to the finger's contour, and the window frame 21 can also be made of a flexible material that is easily deformable, which facilitates the full fit between the window 2 and the finger, allowing the central axis of the window 20 to be perpendicular to the finger acupoint; the easily bendable connector 4 connects the cover 3 to the base band 1, preventing the cover 3 from falling off or being lost; the flexible and easily bendable base band 1 can wrap around fingers of different diameters; the acupoint-acting component 311 on the cover 3 at least partially penetrates the window 20 to act directly or after applying force on the target acupoint; one acupoint, one window, for observation. Precise pressure or other stimulation can be applied to acupoints; fingers not wrapped with baseband 1 can be used to press the target acupoints on the target fingers wrapped with baseband 1, and the pressure is transmitted to the acupoint action component 311 by pressing the cover 3, thereby acting on the target acupoints; the target fingers wrapped with baseband 1 can also be pressed against a table or other hard object, and the target acupoints can be stimulated by the reaction force; multiple fingers can also wrap baseband 1 separately and press each other, and the target acupoints on the target fingers wrapped with baseband 1 must all be located within the window 20 of the window 2 connected to the baseband 1. The multiple fingers wrapped with baseband 1 can be multiple fingers belonging to one hand or fingers belonging to two hands; the flexible connector 4 facilitates the fastening of the cover 3 and the window 2.
[0069] Figure 1GThe patient's left thumb F1 directly presses the outer side of the cover 32, driving the acupoint action component 311 to stimulate the Shangyang acupoint. Traditional Chinese medicine often uses this acupoint to treat toothache, sore throat, numbness of fingers, tinnitus, cough and asthma, constipation and other diseases.
[0070] The window 2 and baseband 1 of the present invention can be integrally molded, and the baseband 1 has a thin wall; the window 2, connector 4, and cover 3 can also be integrally molded; the baseband 1, window 2, connector 4, and cover 3 can also be integrally molded.
[0071] Example 2:
[0072] like Figure 2A , Figure 2B , Figure 2C In this example, the fixing member 13 on the baseband 1 is a hook 13b that can be combined with each other. The hook 13b is set on the inner side 11 and outer side 12 of the baseband at both ends. The baseband 1 is fixed to the target finger by the hook 13b overlapping each other.
[0073] The easily bendable connector 4 between the cover 3 and the window 2 is formed by partially cutting the base strip 1. Unlike embodiment 1, the connector 4a formed by cutting leaves a defect area 401 in the base strip 1. The defect area 401 is preferably about 1-2 mm wide. The defect area 401 in the base strip 1 makes it easy to peel the cover 3 off the base strip 1 with your fingers when using it.
[0074] The fixing component 13 in this invention can also be a magnetically attached component or a snap-fit component; the fixing component 13 stabilizes the position of the base band 1 and the window 2 on it, which is conducive to continuous or intermittent precise acupoint stimulation; the hook hair 13b structure that is combined with each other can be reused multiple times, saving costs.
[0075] Example 3:
[0076] like Figures 3A-3D As shown, in this example, the acupoint-acting component 311 located on the inner side 31 of the cover 3 is a sharp needle 311b that can easily pierce the skin. Figure 3A The three-dimensional view shows that the sharp needle body 311b has not yet been assembled with the baseband 1, and the needle body 311b is located inside the cover 3 31; Figure 3B The sharp needle body 311b and the cover body 3 are shown to be installed in place through the mounting hole 400 of the connector head 41; Figure 3C This is a schematic diagram of the usage state of Example 3. The sharp needle 311b is inserted into the Shangyang acupoint 6 through the window 20 to exert the corresponding therapeutic effect. Figure 3DAnother structure of Embodiment 3 is shown, with a partial cross-section showing a transparent film 201 covering the window 20 of the window body 2. The transparent film 201 is provided with positioning indicator marks 2011, which may be in the shape of a cross or a triangle. The transparent film 201 is easily deformed by pressure or easily punctured. The transparent film 201 can block airborne particles from contaminating the target acupoints during use, and also facilitates the observation of the target acupoints. For users with low immunity, the sterile window body 2 and the transparent film 201 on the window 20 can further prevent possible bacterial infection at the target acupoints.
[0077] Example 4:
[0078] like Figure 4A As shown, the outer side 32 of the cover 3 is provided with an external electrical interface 320. External current can be transmitted through the electrical interface 320 to the acupoint stimulation component 311 located on the inner side 31 of the cover 3, which can transmit current, including the sharp needle 311b in this example or a conductive non-needle electrical stimulation component. The connector 501 at the end of the output line 50 of the current release unit 5 is connected to the external electrical interface 320 on the outer side 32 of the cover 3. In this example, the current release unit 5 is provided with a display screen 51, a power button 52, and intensity and time adjustment buttons 53. Convenient acupoint electrical stimulation can enhance the effect of acupoint treatment. Combined with the meridian flow time medical theory, the current can occur at a specific time point and time period, and different current intensities can be applied to carry out more individualized and precise treatment.
[0079] Figure 4B The button-shaped current release unit 5 is shown in its separated state. When in use, the button-shaped current release unit 5 connects to the electrical interface 320 on the outer side 32 of the cover 3. In this example, the cover 3 and the window 2 are connected by a linear connector 4c. Figure 4C The button-shaped current release unit 5 is connected to the cover 3, and the conductive pressing body 311a is about to enter the window 20; Figure 4D When in use, the pressing body 311a enters the window 20 and contacts the acupoint. The current release unit 5 releases a preset program of current to stimulate the acupoint located in the window 20. The current release unit 5 is equipped with a control chip and circuit board, and can set multiple acupoint stimulation programs to automatically and accurately realize the TCM tonification and sedation operation on the target acupoint. Figure 4E A mushroom cap-shaped cover 3 is shown, which is easy to press with a finger.
[0080] Example 5:
[0081] In this embodiment, the target acupoint 6 is the Shaoshang acupoint located on the thumb F1, which can be pressed by the bent index finger F2, such as... Figure 5A ; Figure 5B The Shaoshang acupoint is shown to be located within window 20 on base band 1, which is curved and wrapped around thumb F1.
[0082] Example 6:
[0083] In this embodiment, the target acupoint 6 is the Shaochong acupoint located on the F5 of the little finger, such as... Figure 6A It requires bending your thumb (F1) and pressing to reach it; Figure 6B The baseband 1 is shown to be curved, ready to wrap around the little finger F5; Figure 6C A flexible connector 4b is shown between the cover 3 and the window 2. The strip-shaped connector 4b is composed of independent film components. One end of the independent film component is connected to the cover 3 and the other end is connected to the window 2. This solution eliminates the connector gap 40 on the base band 1 in the previous embodiment, increases the area for skin adhesion, and makes the base band 1 wrap around the finger more stably and firmly.
