Description

A diagnostic device for acupoints and its usage method Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical devices, specifically relating to a diagnostic device for acupoints and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), many organs of the human body can be located on corresponding points on the body. When the human body is diseased, reactions often occur in the relevant acupoints. By stimulating these corresponding reaction points and acupoints through photobiological regulation technology, relevant reaction data of the body can be obtained. By comprehensively analyzing this reaction data, the corresponding disease can be determined, thus achieving the effect of diagnosis.

[0003] Acupoints on the fingers or toes are symmetrically arranged, meaning that symmetrical acupoints correspond to the same organ. Stimulating these acupoints transmits the stimulation signal to the nervous system, triggering a corresponding bodily response. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, when a body organ becomes diseased, the bodily response data (e.g., tolerance time) to the same stimulus at acupoints on the fingers or toes often differs. However, current medical equipment does not yet offer diagnostic applications based on stimulation of acupoints on the fingers or toes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned defects or improvement needs of the existing technology, the present invention provides a diagnostic device and method for acupoints. Its purpose is to not only accurately achieve laser stimulation of two symmetrical acupoints on the fingers or toes, but also to obtain the body's reaction data of the corresponding two acupoints, thereby determining the disease risk of the corresponding organs of the patient.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a diagnostic device for acupoints, the diagnostic device comprising a control component and at least one set of laser components;

[0006] A laser assembly includes two laser elements, each laser element comprising a positioning unit and a laser unit. The positioning unit includes a positioning base and a silicone band. The positioning base has a laser hole. The two ends of the silicone band are detachably connected to the two sides of the positioning base to secure it to the patient's fingers or toes. The laser unit includes a laser body and a heat sink. The laser body is inserted into the heat sink, which is detachably connected to the positioning base. The light outlet of the laser body faces the laser hole. The control assembly includes a chassis, a controller, two timers, and two emergency stop switches. The controller, the two timers, and the two emergency stop switches are all located on the chassis. The controller is electrically connected to each of the two laser bodies, the two timers, and the two emergency stop switches. Each of the two timers, the two emergency stop switches, and the two laser bodies corresponds one-to-one. The control assembly is configured such that when the patient presses the corresponding emergency stop switch with their hand or foot, the controller stops the corresponding laser body and stops the corresponding timer.

[0007] Optionally, the laser assembly consists of 5 groups.

[0008] Optionally, the chassis includes a base, a support column, and an operating table connected in sequence, with the controller, the two timers, and the two emergency stop switches all located on the operating table.

[0009] Optionally, the heat sink is a metal structure, including a heat sink front cover and a heat sink pipe. The heat sink front cover is detachably connected to the positioning base. The heat sink front cover has a positioning hole. One end of the laser body is inserted into the positioning hole, and the light outlet of the laser body is located in the positioning hole. The other end of the laser body has an outer flange on its outer periphery. The heat sink pipe and the heat sink front cover are coaxially and detachably connected to clamp the outer flange.

[0010] Optionally, the laser unit further includes a fixed back cover, which is disposed on the heat sink, and the fixed back cover and the outer flange are located at both ends of the heat sink. The fixed back cover has a wiring notch, one end of which communicates with the inner hole of the heat sink, and the power interface of the laser body is directly opposite the inner hole of the heat sink. The other end of the wiring notch passes through the outer edge of the fixed back cover.

[0011] Optionally, one side of the positioning base has a positioning groove, and the heat sink is detachably inserted into the positioning groove. The other side of the positioning base is an arc-shaped surface, which is used to conform to the contour of the patient's fingers or toes. The laser hole communicates with the positioning groove and penetrates the arc-shaped surface.

[0012] Optionally, the outer peripheral wall of the radiator has two spaced-apart lugs, and one side of the positioning base has two spaced-apart slots, each slot communicating with the positioning groove. Each lug is inserted into the corresponding slot. The positioning base has two spaced-apart limiting grooves, each limiting groove communicating with the positioning groove and the corresponding slot. The limiting groove corresponds to the bottom of the positioning groove. The limiting groove is used to accommodate the lug after it is rotated in the slot.

[0013] Optionally, the positioning base has a crosshair mark located around the laser hole. The positioning base is made of epoxy resin, polyurethane, or acrylic and is transparent.

[0014] Secondly, the present invention provides a method of using a diagnostic device for acupoints, the method being based on the diagnostic device for acupoints described in the first aspect, the method comprising: S1, installing two positioning bases on the patient's symmetrical fingers or toes respectively via silicone strips, and installing heat sinks such that the light outlets of each laser body are directly opposite the corresponding acupoints; S2, placing the patient's palms or soles above two emergency stop switches respectively, and inputting control commands to the controller, the controller controlling the two laser bodies and two timers to start, the two laser bodies respectively stimulating the corresponding acupoints with lasers, and the two timers starting to count; S3, when the stimulation of the corresponding acupoint by the laser body exceeds the patient's tolerance, the patient presses the corresponding emergency stop switch on the corresponding palm or sole, causing the corresponding laser body to stop and the corresponding timer to stop counting, thereby obtaining two tolerance times for the corresponding acupoints; S4, comparing and analyzing the two tolerance times to determine the disease risk of the patient's corresponding organ.

[0015] Optionally, the two laser bodies respectively apply laser stimulation to the corresponding acupoints, including: the initial current of each laser body is 60mA, and the current of each laser body increases to 90mA per unit time.

[0016] The aforementioned improved technical features can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0017] In summary, compared with the prior art, the above-described technical solution conceived by this invention has the following beneficial effects: For the diagnostic device for acupoints provided in this embodiment of the invention, in use, firstly, two positioning bases are respectively installed on the patient's symmetrical fingers or toes using silicone strips, and heat sinks are installed, so that the light outlet of each laser body is directly opposite the corresponding acupoint. Wherein, because the silicone strips have a certain elasticity, each positioning base and laser unit can be reliably fixed on the fingers or toes and directly opposite the acupoint, without easily moving or damaging the epidermis. Furthermore, since the laser body is inserted into the heat sink, the laser body and the heat sink are in full contact, and the heat generated by the laser body can be fully dissipated through the heat sink. At this time, the two laser bodies are respectively directly opposite two symmetrical acupoints, facilitating subsequent synchronous laser stimulation.

[0018] Then, the patient places their palms or soles above the two emergency stop switches and inputs control commands to the controller. The controller activates the two laser units and two timers, which simultaneously stimulate the corresponding acupoints. The two timers also start simultaneously. Next, when the laser stimulation exceeds the patient's tolerance, the patient presses the corresponding emergency stop switch, stopping the laser unit and the timer. This allows the system to sequentially or simultaneously acquire two tolerance times (the longest the patient can withstand laser stimulation) for each acupoint. Finally, the two tolerance times are compared and analyzed to determine the disease risk of the corresponding organ. Correspondingly, under the same laser stimulation, the greater the difference in tolerance times between the two acupoints, the higher the risk of disease in the corresponding organ, and vice versa.

[0019] In other words, the diagnostic device for acupoints provided in this embodiment of the invention can not only accurately stimulate two symmetrical acupoints on the fingers or toes with laser, but also obtain the body's reaction data for the corresponding two acupoints, thereby determining the disease risk of the patient's corresponding organs.

[0027] Example: Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a diagnostic device for acupoints provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 2 is a partial enlarged view of Figure 1. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the diagnostic device includes a control component 3 and at least one set of laser components, each set of laser components including two laser elements 10. The two laser elements 10 in the set of laser components are symmetrically arranged on the fingers or toes; for example, one laser element 10 is arranged on the left thumb, and the other laser element 10 is arranged on the right thumb.

[0028] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the laser component provided in the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 3, each laser component 10 includes a positioning unit 1 and a laser unit 2.

[0029] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the positioning unit provided in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 4, the positioning unit 1 includes a positioning base 11 and a silicone strip 12. The positioning base 11 has a laser hole 113. The two ends of the silicone strip 12 are detachably connected to the two sides of the positioning base 11 to bind the positioning base 11 to the patient's fingers or toes.

[0030] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the laser unit provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of the laser unit provided in the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the laser unit 2 includes a laser body 23 and a heat sink. The laser body 23 is inserted into the heat sink. The heat sink is detachably connected to the positioning base 11, and the light outlet of the laser body 23 is directly opposite to the laser hole 113.

[0031] The control component 3 includes a chassis 31, a controller 32, two timers (not shown) and two emergency stop switches 33. The controller 32, the two timers and the two emergency stop switches 33 are all located on the chassis 31. The controller 32 is electrically connected to the two laser bodies 23, the two timers and the two emergency stop switches 33 respectively. The two timers, the two emergency stop switches 33 and the two laser bodies 23 correspond one-to-one. The control component 3 is configured such that when the patient presses the emergency stop switch 33 with their palm or foot, the controller 32 controls the corresponding laser body 23 to stop and controls the corresponding timer to stop timing.

[0032] In the diagnostic device for acupoints provided in this embodiment of the invention, during use, two positioning bases 11 are first installed on the patient's symmetrical fingers or toes using silicone strips 12, and a heat sink is installed so that the light outlet of each laser body 23 is directly opposite the corresponding acupoint 100. The silicone strips 12, due to their elasticity, reliably fix each positioning base 11 and laser unit 2 to the fingers or toes and directly opposite the acupoint 100, without easily moving or damaging the skin. Furthermore, since the laser body 23 is inserted into the heat sink, it makes full contact with the heat sink, allowing the heat generated by the laser body 23 to be effectively dissipated through heat conduction. At this point, the two laser bodies 23 are directly opposite two symmetrical acupoints 100, facilitating subsequent synchronous laser stimulation.

[0033] Then, the patient places their palms or soles on top of the two emergency stop switches 33 and inputs control commands to the controller 32. The controller 32 then activates the two laser units 23 and two timers. The two laser units 23 synchronously stimulate the corresponding acupoints 100, and the two timers start timing simultaneously. Next, when the stimulation of the corresponding acupoints 100 by the laser units 23 exceeds the patient's tolerance, the patient presses the corresponding emergency stop switch 33 with their palm or sole, stopping the corresponding laser unit 23 and the corresponding timer. This allows the patient to sequentially or simultaneously obtain two tolerance times for the corresponding acupoints 100 (the tolerance time is the longest time the patient can withstand laser stimulation). Finally, the two tolerance times are compared and analyzed to determine the disease risk of the corresponding organ. Correspondingly, under the same laser stimulation, the greater the difference in tolerance times between the two acupoints 100, the higher the risk of disease in the corresponding organ, and vice versa.

[0034] In other words, the diagnostic device for acupoints provided in this embodiment of the invention can not only accurately stimulate two symmetrical acupoints 100 on the fingers or toes with laser, but also obtain the body's reaction data corresponding to the two acupoints 100, thereby determining the disease risk of the patient's corresponding organs.

[0035] It is easy to understand that when a human organ becomes diseased, the nerves and meridians between that organ and different epidermal points will also undergo corresponding changes (i.e., lesions), and the body's response to external stimuli will differ. This invention uses the same laser to stimulate different acupoints of the same type, and analyzes the degree of corresponding nerve and meridian changes based on the differences in tolerance time, thereby determining the disease risk of the corresponding organ in the patient.

[0036] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 1 and 2, there are 5 sets of laser components.

[0037] To illustrate easily, let's take the fingers as an example. Both the left and right hands have five fingers, and each finger corresponds to an acupoint 100. Five sets of laser components, each with ten laser elements 10, are placed on each of the ten fingers. Two identical fingers correspond to one set of laser components, and the two laser elements 10 in each set are located on opposite sides of the housing 31. This is used to test both the left and right hands. Alternatively, these five sets of laser components, each with ten laser elements 10, can also be placed on each of the ten toes. This allows for laser stimulation of multiple acupoints 100 and the acquisition of multiple bodily response data. Comprehensive analysis of this data leads to a more accurate and reliable assessment of the patient's disease risk.

[0038] In addition, the chassis 31 includes a base, a support column, and an operating table connected in sequence. The controller 32, two timers, and two emergency stop switches 33 are all located on the operating table. The base supports the support column and the operating table, while the support column raises the operating table to facilitate the patient's timely pressing of the emergency stop switch 33.

[0039] For example, the controller 32 includes a human-machine interface screen, through which control commands can be input to the controller 32.

[0040] For example, the chassis 31 is provided with a power interface 311 and a laser body connection cable interface 312. The power interface 311 is used to connect an external power supply and a controller 32, and the laser body connection cable interface 312 connects the controller 32 and each laser body 23 through a cable.

[0041] Figure 7 is a first view of the positioning base provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 8 is a second view of the positioning base provided in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, one side of the positioning base 11 has a positioning groove 111, and a heat sink is detachably inserted into the positioning groove 111. The other side of the positioning base 11 is an arc-shaped surface 112, which is used to fit against the contour of the patient's fingers or toes. The laser hole 113 communicates with the positioning groove 111 and penetrates the arc-shaped surface 112.

[0042] In the above embodiment, the laser unit 2 and the positioning unit 1 can be conveniently connected through the insertion and cooperation of the positioning groove 111 and the heat sink. In addition, the arc-shaped surface 112 of the bottom surface of the positioning base 11 matches the outer contour of the fingers and toes, achieving a close fit, thereby making the positioning base 11 more reliable.

[0043] In this embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the radiator has two spaced-apart lugs 212, and one side of the positioning base 11 has two spaced-apart slots 117. Each slot 117 is connected to the positioning groove 111, and each lug 212 is inserted into the corresponding slot 117. The positioning base 11 has two spaced-apart limiting grooves 118. Each limiting groove 118 is connected to the positioning groove 111 and the corresponding slot 117, and the limiting groove 118 corresponds to the bottom of the positioning groove 111. The limiting groove 118 is used to accommodate the lug 212 after it is rotated in the slot 117.

[0044] It is easy to understand that each limiting groove 118 is connected to the positioning groove 111 and the corresponding slot 117, and the limiting groove 118 corresponds to the bottom of the positioning groove 111. At this time, the limiting groove 118 (arranged horizontally) and the slot 117 (arranged vertically) are in an L-shape. That is, when the radiator is inserted into the positioning base 11, firstly, the hanging ear 212 on the radiator is inserted to the bottom along the slot 117, and then the radiator is rotated 90°, and the hanging ear 212 is rotated from the slot 117 into the limiting groove 118. At this time, the axial limiting between the radiator and the positioning base 11 can be completed.

[0045] For example, the two lugs 212 and the two slots 117 are arranged at 180°. In addition, in the depth direction corresponding to the positioning slot 111, the thickness of one end of the lug 212 is less than the thickness of the other end of the lug 212. That is, when the lug 212 is rotated into the limiting slot 118, one end of the lug 212 is rotated in first to facilitate the quick rotation of the lug 212, while the other end of the lug 212 is precisely locked in the limiting slot 118 when it is rotated into the limiting slot 118.

[0046] In other words, by setting up the hanging ear 212, the card slot 117 and the limiting slot 118, the radiator can be locked after being inserted, thus preventing it from falling off.

[0047] It should be noted that, in other embodiments of the present invention, the radiator and the positioning base 11 can also be detachably connected by adhesive or bolts.

[0048] In this embodiment, the positioning base 11 has a crosshair 114, which is located on the outer periphery of the laser hole 113. The positioning base 11 is made of epoxy resin, polyurethane or acrylic and has a transparent structure.

[0049] For example, the intersection of a straight line drawn from the side and bottom of the thumbnail corresponds to acupoint 100 (see Figure 9). This acupoint 100 corresponds to the lung organ in the human body. To ensure that the laser hole 113 is aligned with the acupoint 100, the transparent positioning base 11 is observed and its position is adjusted until the crosshair 114 on the positioning base 11 is quickly aligned with the side and bottom of the thumbnail. This achieves rapid alignment of the laser hole 113 with the acupoint 100 and improves the positioning accuracy of the positioning base 11.

[0050] In addition, the outer peripheral wall of the positioning base 11 has two spaced positioning posts 115, and the two ends of the silicone strip 12 are respectively connected to the corresponding positioning posts 115. The positioning posts 115 can serve as connection points to facilitate the connection between the silicone strip 12 and the positioning base 11.

[0051] Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the silicone strip provided in the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 10, the silicone strip 12 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 121 extending along the axial direction of the silicone strip 12. The plurality of mounting holes 121 are arranged at intervals, and each positioning post 115 can be inserted into the corresponding mounting hole 121.

[0052] In the above embodiment, the mounting hole 121 can cooperate with the positioning post 115 to complete the quick assembly and disassembly of the silicone strip 12 and the positioning post 115. In addition, different patients have different outer diameters of fingers or toes, so a suitable mounting hole 121 can be selected to cooperate with the positioning post 115, thus making it suitable for different patients.

[0053] In addition, a hemisphere 116 is provided on one end face of each positioning post 115 facing away from the positioning base 11, and the central axis of the hemisphere 116 is coaxial with the axis of the positioning post 115. The hemisphere 116 protrudes from the positioning post 115 on the side facing the positioning post 115.

[0054] It is easy to understand that, on the one hand, the radius of the hemisphere 116 gradually changes in the axial direction of the positioning post 115, which facilitates the guidance when the mounting hole 121 on the silicone strip 12 is fitted, so as to realize quick fitting; on the other hand, the hemisphere 116 can limit the silicone strip 12 after fitting, preventing it from easily detaching from the positioning post 115.

[0055] For example, the positioning post 115 is integrally formed with the corresponding hemisphere 116.

[0056] Referring again to Figures 5 and 6, the heat sink is a metal structure, including a heat sink front cover 21 and a heat sink pipe 22. The heat sink front cover 21 is detachably connected to the positioning base 11. The heat sink front cover 21 has a positioning hole 211. One end of the laser body 23 is inserted into the positioning hole 211, and the light outlet of the laser body 23 is located in the positioning hole 211. The other end of the laser body 23 has an outer flange 231 on its outer periphery. The heat sink pipe 22 and the heat sink front cover 21 are coaxially and detachably connected to clamp the outer flange 231.

[0057] In the above embodiment, on the one hand, one end of the laser body 23 is inserted into the positioning hole 211 of the heat dissipation front cover 21, and the light emission port of the laser body 23 is located in the positioning hole 211, thereby achieving the positioning of the laser body 23 without affecting the light emission of the laser body 23; on the other hand, the other end of the laser body 23 has an outer flange 231 on its outer periphery, and the heat dissipation pipe 22 and the heat dissipation front cover 21 are coaxially and detachably connected. The heat dissipation pipe 22 and the heat dissipation front cover 21 clamp the outer flange 231, thereby fixing the laser body 23, and ultimately achieving reliable positioning and installation of the laser body 23 on the heat sink. In addition, the heat sink is a metal structure, and through the above insertion and clamping, the laser body 23 is in full contact with the heat sink. Moreover, the heat dissipation pipe 22 has a large length and a large surface area, and a large contact area with the outside air. The heat generated by the laser body 23 can be fully dissipated through the heat dissipation component, avoiding the problem of burning patients or doctors due to high temperature.

[0058] For example, two mounting ears 212 are located on the heat dissipation front cover 21. Additionally, the heat dissipation component can be made of copper, which is low in cost and has fast heat conduction.

[0059] For example, the outer peripheral wall of the heat pipe 22 has a limiting protrusion 223 on the side facing the heat dissipation front cover 21. The limiting protrusion 223 can play a limiting role during the process of inserting the laser unit 2 into the positioning base 11, so as to avoid the problem of the laser unit 2 being damaged by squeezing the positioning base 11.

[0060] Furthermore, the laser unit 2 also includes a fixed back cover 24, which is mounted on the heat sink 22. The fixed back cover 24 and the outer flange 231 are located at both ends of the heat sink 22. The fixed back cover 24 has a wiring notch 241 (see Figure 11). One end of the wiring notch 241 is connected to the inner hole of the heat sink 22, and the power interface 311 of the laser body 23 is directly opposite to the inner hole of the heat sink 22. The other end of the wiring notch 241 passes through the outer edge of the fixed back cover 24.

[0061] In the above embodiment, the fixed back cover 24 serves to cover and protect the top of the heat sink 22, preventing external objects or impurities from affecting the laser body 23 through the inner hole of the heat sink 22. Furthermore, the laser body 23 can be powered by wiring through the wiring notch 241 and the inner hole of the heat sink 22, and the fixed back cover 24 and the heat sink 22 can protect the cable.

[0062] In addition, the fixed back cover 24 has a plurality of spaced threaded holes 242, and the laser unit 2 also includes a plurality of connecting bolts. Each connecting bolt passes through the heat dissipation front cover 21 and the heat dissipation pipe 22 and is inserted into the corresponding threaded hole 242. Thus, the heat dissipation front cover 21, the heat dissipation pipe 22 and the fixed back cover 24 can be easily connected to form a whole by means of connecting bolts.

[0063] For example, the heat dissipation front cover 21 is provided with a plurality of T-shaped holes arranged at intervals, and the heat dissipation pipe 22 is provided with a plurality of through holes arranged at intervals. Each connecting bolt passes through the corresponding T-shaped hole and through hole and is then inserted into the corresponding threaded hole 242.

[0064] In addition, the outer peripheral wall of the heat sink 22 has multiple annular grooves 222, which are evenly spaced along the axial direction of the heat sink 22. The multiple annular grooves 222 can further increase the surface area of ​​the heat sink 22, making heat dissipation easier.

[0065] In this embodiment, the inner peripheral wall of the heat pipe 22 is provided with an inner flange 221, and an outer flange 231 is sandwiched between the inner flange 221 and the heat dissipation front cover 21.

[0066] It is easy to understand that the inner diameter of the heat sink 22 is usually large. The inner flange 221 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the heat sink 22 to facilitate the clamping of the laser body 23 with the heat sink front cover 21.

[0067] Furthermore, the end of the heat pipe 22 facing the heat dissipation front cover 21 has a coaxially arranged positioning ring 224, and the outer flange 231 is coaxially inserted into the positioning ring 224.

[0068] In the above embodiments, the positioning ring 224 can cooperate with the outer flange 231 to achieve positioning between the laser body 23 and the heat sink 22, so as to avoid excessive offset between the heat sink 22 and the outer flange 231 during the process of clamping the heat sink 22 with the outer flange 231, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the heat sink 22.

[0069] It should be noted that in other embodiments of the present invention, the heat sink may also be configured as a substrate fin heat sink or other structural forms, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0070] Figure 12 is a flowchart of a method of using a diagnostic device for acupoints provided in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 12, the method of use is based on the above-mentioned diagnostic device for acupoints. The method of use includes: S1, installing two positioning bases 11 on the patient's symmetrical fingers or toes respectively through silicone strips 12, and installing heat sinks so that the light outlet of each laser body 23 is directly opposite the corresponding acupoint 100.

[0071] S2. The patient places both palms or both soles of the feet above the two emergency stop switches 33 and inputs control commands to the controller 32. The controller 32 controls the two laser bodies 23 and the two timers to start. The two laser bodies 23 stimulate the corresponding acupoints 100 with lasers, and the two timers start timing.

[0072] S3. When the stimulation of the corresponding acupoint 100 by the laser body 23 exceeds the patient's tolerance, the patient presses the corresponding emergency stop switch 33 on the corresponding palm or foot, so that the corresponding laser body 23 stops and the corresponding timer stops counting, thereby obtaining the two tolerance times of the corresponding acupoint 100.

[0073] S4. By comparing and analyzing the two tolerance times, the disease risk of the corresponding organ in the patient can be determined.

[0074] In other words, the diagnostic device for acupoints provided in this embodiment of the invention can not only accurately stimulate two symmetrical acupoints 100 on the fingers or toes with laser, but also obtain the body's reaction data corresponding to the two acupoints 100, thereby determining the disease risk of the patient's corresponding organs.

[0075] In this embodiment, in step S2, the two laser bodies 23 respectively stimulate the corresponding acupoints 100 with lasers, including: the initial current of each laser body 23 is 60mA, and the current of each laser body 23 increases to 90mA per unit time.

[0076] It's easy to understand that the higher the current corresponding to the laser body 23, the greater the laser stimulation intensity (typically, the human body can tolerate a current of around 70 mA for the laser body 23). Different patients have different tolerance levels, so increasing the current of the laser body 23 can accommodate different patients. Thereafter, the current is consistently maintained at 90 mA.

[0077] For example, the unit time is 20-30 seconds to avoid the current increase being too small, which would result in an excessively long test time.

[0078] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
