Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine medical device technology, specifically to an intelligent temperature and pressure controlled thermosensitive cupping therapy device. Background Technology
[0002] Thermosensitive cupping therapy, an innovative form combining traditional Chinese cupping with thermotherapy, leverages the synergistic effects of negative pressure adsorption to unblock meridians and warm stimulation to harmonize Qi and blood. Its application in chronic pain relief, sub-health conditioning, and TCM rehabilitation is becoming increasingly widespread. However, with the intelligent development of medical technology and the increasing demands for precision and safety in clinical practice, traditional thermosensitive cupping devices are gradually revealing numerous technical bottlenecks, making it difficult to meet the standardized requirements of modern physiotherapy.
[0003] Existing thermotherapy devices suffer from poor adhesion between the heating components and human skin in practical applications. Traditional devices often have the heating module fixed inside the canister. When the canister is attached to the body, differences in the curvature of the body surface and variations in local skin elasticity can easily create gaps between the heating module and the skin, hindering heat transfer and reducing the penetrating effect of the thermotherapy. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides an intelligent temperature and pressure controlled thermosensitive cannula treatment device to solve the problem of poor heat transfer effect during thermosensitive treatment in existing devices.
[0005] To alleviate the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows: An intelligent temperature and pressure controlled thermosensitive cupping therapy device includes a cupping body, an installation cylinder fixedly connected inside the cupping body, a mesh plate fixedly connected to the top of the installation cylinder, an elastic airbag fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mesh plate, an installation base fixedly connected to the bottom of the elastic airbag, a conductive rod threadedly connected to the bottom of the installation base, a heating plate electrically connected to the bottom end of the conductive rod, and a wire electrically connected to the installation base. When a negative pressure is generated inside the cupping body, the elastic airbag expands to push the heating plate downward.
[0006] Furthermore, the heating plate has a medicine slot and a through hole communicating with the medicine slot. A medicine pack is placed in the medicine slot. When the heating plate is powered on and generates heat, the medicine in the medicine pack can evaporate into the human body through the through hole.
[0007] Furthermore, a power compartment is fixedly connected to the top of the tank, and a battery is placed inside the power compartment. The wires are electrically connected to the battery inside the power compartment.
[0008] Furthermore, the wire is electrically connected to a socket for connecting to an external power source.
[0009] Furthermore, the top of the tank is connected to a negative pressure extraction pipe, and a one-way valve is installed on the negative pressure extraction pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, a pressure relief pipe is connected to the negative pressure extraction pipe between the one-way valve and the tank, and a pressure relief valve is installed on the pressure relief pipe.
[0011] Furthermore, an air pump is installed on the negative pressure extraction pipe above the one-way valve.
[0012] Furthermore, the air pump includes a pump casing connected to the negative pressure extraction pipe, two gears are symmetrically rotatably connected inside the pump casing, a small motor is installed on the upper part of the tank, the output end of the small motor is connected to either of the gears, and the small motor is electrically connected to the battery in the power compartment.
[0013] Furthermore, the small motor is electrically connected to a power cord, which passes through the tank and is fixedly connected to a cylinder inside the tank. A pressure-sensitive switch electrically connected to the power cord is installed on the top of the cylinder, and the pressure-sensitive switch is used to control the start and stop of the small motor. A cylindrical airbag is fixedly connected inside the cylinder, and a pressure plate is fixedly connected to the top of the cylindrical airbag. When the negative pressure inside the tank increases, the cylindrical airbag expands and pushes the pressure plate up and presses the pressure-sensitive switch, thereby stopping the small motor from running.
[0014] Furthermore, a cover is installed on the top of the tank, and the cover has through holes; The heating plate is magnetically connected to an annular cover plate, which can seal the top opening of the medicine tank; Multiple magnetic rods are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the annular cover plate. The lower end face of the mounting cylinder has a hole that mates with the magnetic rod. The mounting cylinder and the magnetic rod are magnetically attracted to each other. The magnetic attraction between the mounting cylinder and the magnetic rod is less than the magnetic attraction between the heating plate and the annular cover plate.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are analyzed as follows: An intelligent temperature and pressure controlled thermosensitive cupping therapy device includes a cupping body, an installation cylinder fixedly connected inside the cupping body, a mesh plate fixedly connected to the top of the installation cylinder, an elastic airbag fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mesh plate, an installation base fixedly connected to the bottom of the elastic airbag, a conductive rod threadedly connected to the bottom of the installation base, a heating plate electrically connected to the bottom end of the conductive rod, and a wire electrically connected to the installation base. When a negative pressure is generated inside the cupping body, the elastic airbag expands to push the heating plate downward.
[0016] When using the device, the patient lies face down, the canister is placed against the patient's body, and a vacuum is then created. The negative pressure causes the canister to adhere to the patient's body. After the canister adheres to the body, the negative pressure inside the canister increases, causing the elastic airbag to expand. Since the diameter of the heating plate is smaller than the opening of the canister, the expansion of the elastic airbag can push the heating plate down to contact the body, thus ensuring the effective transfer of heat.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] 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.
[0020] Examples, such as Figures 1-7As shown, an intelligent temperature and pressure controlled thermosensitive cupping therapy device includes a tank 100, an installation cylinder 300 fixedly connected inside the tank 100, a mesh plate 310 fixedly connected to the top of the installation cylinder 300, an elastic airbag 320 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mesh plate 310, an installation base 330 fixedly connected to the bottom of the elastic airbag 320, a conductive rod 341 threadedly connected to the bottom of the installation base 330, a heating plate 340 electrically connected to the bottom end of the conductive rod 341, and a wire 331 electrically connected to the installation base 330. When a negative pressure is generated inside the tank 100, the elastic airbag 320 expands to push the heating plate 340 downward.
[0021] When in use, the patient lies face down, the canister 100 is placed against the patient's body, and then a vacuum is drawn into the canister 100. The negative pressure transfer causes the canister 100 to adhere to the patient's body. After the canister 100 is adhered to the human body, the negative pressure inside the canister 100 increases, causing the elastic airbag 320 to expand. Furthermore, the diameter of the heating plate 340 is smaller than the opening of the canister 100, so that when the elastic airbag 320 expands, it can push the heating plate 340 down to contact the human body, thereby ensuring the heat transfer effect. The connection method and circuit principle between the mounting base 330 and the conductive rod 341 are the same as those of the existing rotating connection between the bulb and the lamp holder. In addition, the tank 100 has a double-layer composite structure. The inner layer is made of nano-alumina-purple clay composite material, and the outer layer is wrapped with a heat-insulating silicone sleeve. The tank opening diameter is 8cm, the height is 12cm, and the wall thickness is 3mm. The tank 100 also includes an electronic module, which includes an integrated main control board (STM32H743), an infrared camera (OV5640), a sensor array (8-channel NTC + 4-channel MEMS), and a wireless communication module (ESP32). The tank 100 integrates a heating system, including a flexible polyimide heating film (power adjustable from 0-200W), which is attached to the bottom of the inner wall of the tank 100. It generates heat not only through the heating plate 340 but also through the flexible polyimide heating film. The electronic module can record and transmit treatment data.
[0022] The elastic airbag 320 is elastic. When a negative pressure is generated in the external space of the elastic airbag 320, the internal gas of the elastic airbag 320 expands, thereby expanding the elasticity of the elastic airbag 320.
[0023] The elastic airbag 320 functions similarly to a balloon. When the external air pressure of the elastic airbag 320 decreases, the internal gas expands, causing the elastic airbag 320 to increase in volume, thereby pushing the heating plate 340. The heating plate 340 adjusts its heating power in real time using a PID control algorithm, and the heating power of the flexible polyimide heating film is also adjusted using a PID control algorithm. The top of the mounting cylinder 300 restricts the expansion direction of the elastic airbag 320 through the connecting mesh plate 310, ensuring that the elastic airbag 320 can only push the heating plate 340 downward when it expands. The mounting cylinder 300 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank 100 through a bracket.
[0024] The heating plate 340 has a medicine trough 350 and a through hole 351 communicating with the medicine trough 350. A medicine pack is placed in the medicine trough 350. When the heating plate 340 is powered on and generates heat, the medicine in the medicine pack can evaporate into the human body through the through hole 351.
[0025] During treatment, a medicine pack can be placed in the medicine tank 350. The medicine pack is heated by the heating plate 340, which causes the medicinal ingredients in the medicine pack to volatilize for better treatment. When the heating plate 340 is powered on, the medicinal ingredients in the medicine pack can be conducted to the human skin through the through hole 351 after volatilization, so that the medicinal ingredients can be volatilized to the human body for maintenance and treatment.
[0026] A power supply compartment 400 is fixedly connected to the top of the tank 100. A battery is placed inside the power supply compartment 400, and a wire 331 is electrically connected to the battery inside the power supply compartment 400.
[0027] The power compartment 400 can hold lithium batteries to power the electronic components inside the tank 100.
[0028] The wire 331 is electrically connected to a socket 332 for connecting to an external power source.
[0029] If the required treatment time is long or the battery power is insufficient, the heating plate 340 can be powered by connecting an external power source to socket 332.
[0030] The top of the tank 100 is connected to a negative pressure extraction pipe 200, and a one-way valve 210 is installed on the negative pressure extraction pipe 200.
[0031] The negative pressure extraction tube 200 can be connected to an external negative pressure pump or other vacuuming device. After the opening of the canister 100 is placed against the human body, the negative pressure extraction tube 200 is used to evacuate the canister 100, which allows the canister 100 to fit against the human body. The one-way valve 210 can prevent negative pressure leakage inside the canister 100.
[0032] A pressure relief pipe 220 is connected to the negative pressure extraction pipe 200 between the one-way valve 210 and the tank 100, and a pressure relief valve 230 is installed on the pressure relief pipe 220.
[0033] After the treatment time is reached, the pressure can be released by opening the pressure relief valve 230, so that the canister 100 can be removed from the human body. Alternatively, a timer can be set, and the pressure relief valve 230 can be replaced with a solenoid valve. The timer and solenoid valve can be connected to the control system. When the treatment time is reached, the control system controls the solenoid valve to open, so that the negative pressure in the canister 100 is released. However, the negative pressure is not completely released, leaving a small amount of negative pressure. This prevents the canister 100 from falling directly from the body. Instead, the canister 100 is manually removed from the body to avoid damage caused by it falling directly.
[0034] An air pump is installed on the negative pressure extraction pipe 200 above the one-way valve 210.
[0035] A vacuum pump can be directly integrated into the negative pressure extraction pipe 200, so that the tank 100 does not need to be provided with negative pressure through an external vacuum device.
[0036] The air pump includes a pump housing 240 connected to a negative pressure extraction pipe 200. Two gears 250 are symmetrically rotatably connected inside the pump housing 240. A small motor 260 is installed on the upper part of the tank 100. The output end of the small motor 260 is connected to either gear 250, and the small motor 260 is electrically connected to a battery in the power supply compartment 400.
[0037] The pump housing 240, two gears 250 and a small motor 260 together constitute the structure of a gear pump. The battery in the power supply compartment 400 supplies power to the small motor 260 to ensure the operation of this gear pump structure. If the battery in the power supply compartment 400 is not powerful enough, the tank 100 can be evacuated by an external vacuum device.
[0038] A small motor 260 is electrically connected to a power cord 270, which passes through the tank 100 and is fixedly connected to a cylinder 280 inside the tank 100. A pressure-sensitive switch 271, which is electrically connected to the power cord 270, is installed on the top of the cylinder 280. The pressure-sensitive switch 271 is used to control the start and stop of the small motor 260. A cylindrical airbag 290 is fixedly connected inside the cylinder 280, and a pressure plate 291 is fixedly connected to the top of the cylindrical airbag 290. When the negative pressure inside the tank 100 is strong, the cylindrical airbag 290 expands and pushes the pressure plate 291 upward and presses the pressure-sensitive switch 271, thereby stopping the small motor 260 from running.
[0039] The cylindrical airbag 290, cylinder 280, power cord 270, and pressure-sensitive switch 271 together constitute the negative pressure control mechanism of the canister 100. During treatment, the main power switch of the power compartment 400 is turned on to supply power to the various electronic components. When the negative pressure inside the canister 100 reaches the required level, the cylindrical airbag 290 expands in the negative pressure environment inside the canister 100, thereby pushing the pressure plate 291 to press the pressure-sensitive switch 271. At this time, the small motor 260 is in a stopped state. If abnormal pressure relief occurs inside the canister 100 during treatment, the cylindrical airbag 290 contracts due to the increase in external pressure. At this time, the pressure plate 291 moves away from the pressure-sensitive switch 271, thereby causing the small motor 260 to run and create a vacuum inside the canister 100 to ensure that the canister 100 can adhere to the human body. When the pressure-sensitive switch 271 is not pressurized, it will control the small motor 260 to run for a period of time. The running time of the small motor 260 can be preset by the system. After treatment is completed, turn off the main power supply on the power compartment 400 to disconnect the power supply to the electronic components inside the tank 100. Then, open the pressure relief valve 230 to release the negative pressure inside the tank 100 without causing the small motor 260 to run.
[0040] A cover 110 is installed on the top of the tank 100, and a through hole is provided on the cover 110; an annular cover 360 is magnetically connected to the heating plate 340, and the annular cover 360 can block the top opening of the medicine tank 350; multiple magnetic rods 361 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the annular cover 360, and a hole is provided on the lower end face of the mounting cylinder 300 to cooperate with the magnetic rods 361, and the mounting cylinder 300 and the magnetic rods 361 are magnetically attracted to each other, and the magnetic attraction between the mounting cylinder 300 and the magnetic rods 361 is less than the magnetic attraction between the heating plate 340 and the annular cover 360.
[0041] The cover 110 protects the components installed on the outer top wall of the tank 100. The holes on the cover 110 allow the pressure inside the tank 100 to be released and not accumulated inside the cover 110. The cover 110 and the tank 100 can be connected by magnetic attraction or by threaded connection. When the annular cover 360 covers the opening of the medicine tank 350, it can prevent the medicine in the medicine tank 350 from evaporating from the upper opening of the medicine tank 350 and thus causing waste. The magnetic attraction between the annular cover 360 and the heating plate 340 can ensure the firmness of the connection between the two supports. When placing medicine packs into the medicine tank 350, the magnetic rod 361 on the annular cover 360 can be aligned with the hole on the mounting cylinder 300 to install the annular cover 360 to the bottom of the mounting cylinder 300, so as to avoid the annular cover 360 being lost. Since the magnetic attraction between the mounting cylinder 300 and the magnetic rod 361 is less than the magnetic attraction between the heating plate 340 and the annular cover 360, the heating plate 340 can move down and drive the annular cover 360 down together, ensuring that the annular cover 360 stably seals the medicine tank 350.
