Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to acupuncture products in the field of medical device technology, and more particularly to an integrated device for acupoint detection and acupuncture application. It can assist in determining the location of acupoints or positive reaction points, and allows for rapid and efficient acupuncture application at the designated location, while being convenient to use. Background Technology

[0003] Acupuncture, a major branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), plays a vital and significant role in alleviating human suffering from illness. Intradermal acupuncture, including auricular acupuncture, can replace or assist drug therapy in treating diseases, offering advantages such as significant efficacy, safety, and no toxic side effects. Based on the TCM theory of meridian theory, intradermal acupuncture can unblock meridians, regulate qi and blood, strengthen the body's resistance, eliminate pathogenic factors, and balance yin and yang. It has significant therapeutic effects on various parts of the body, organs, muscles, facial paralysis, epilepsy, and other diseases.

[0004] To promote acupuncture treatment techniques and better serve the general public, those skilled in the art have made unremitting efforts. For example, patent application CN2021107092038 discloses a conformal positioning system for detecting the impedance of human acupoints, which mainly includes the following modules: 1) generating a standard map based on the outer contour of the palm and sole of a standard adult; 2) determining the center of each acupoint in the standard map according to the theory of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine; 3) electrode array design; 4) impedance detection circuit design and impedance detector fabrication; 5) placing the palm or sole in close contact with the surface of the electrode array and collecting impedance data; 6) obtaining the effective detection area based on the contact between the human body and the electrode array; 7) matching the outer contour of the detection area, spatially matching the outer contour of the palm or sole area in the standard map to the corresponding outer contour of the tester's area, obtaining spatial deformation parameters and deformation field; 8) performing geometric transformation on the acupoint center point of the standard map according to the spatial deformation parameters and deformation field, obtaining the matched acupoint center point; 9) detecting the impedance of the matched acupoint center point as the effective acupoint impedance.

[0005] Chinese patent application CN202111194958.5 discloses an automatic location method, device, and electronic device for human acupoints. The method includes: acquiring an infrared image of a target human body; performing image preprocessing on the infrared image; determining a neural network model to be trained based on a selected neural network algorithm; training the neural network model to be trained to determine the optimal neural network model as the acupoint prediction model; inputting the preprocessed target image into the acupoint prediction model to obtain J acupoint location confidence maps, each acupoint corresponding to one acupoint location confidence map, and each acupoint location confidence map being labeled with the corresponding acupoint location confidence distribution; and determining the position of each of the J acupoints corresponding to the maximum confidence value in the corresponding acupoint location confidence map as the position of that acupoint in the target human body infrared image. This improves the accuracy of location and analysis, saves manpower and time costs, and enhances the efficiency, scalability, and universality of location and analysis.

[0006] Patent application CN202010276723.X discloses an automatic localization method for acupoints on the human head and neck. The method includes: establishing a first image set containing multiple head and neck images; training and learning multiple contour points in each head and neck image; and using an Active Shape Model (ASM) to obtain the position information of contour points, including the left and right ear roots. A second image set containing multiple head and neck images with each acupoint marked is then established. The relative positions of each acupoint in each head and neck image with respect to the midpoints of the left and right ear roots are statistically analyzed to obtain the average position information of each acupoint. The ASM is then used to identify the left and right ear roots in the head and neck image to be detected, calculate the midpoints of the left and right ear roots, and combine this with the average position information to obtain the position of each acupoint in the head and neck image to be detected. This method simplifies the locating of head and neck acupoints, facilitating the automation of daily cervical spine health maintenance.

[0007] Chinese patent application CN201811594306.9 discloses a meridian acupoint positioning device and method, including a detection unit and excitation electrodes and sensing electrodes electrically connected to the detection unit. Both the excitation electrodes and sensing electrodes are in contact with the human body and form a circuit. The detection unit drives the excitation electrodes to output excitation signals and acquires sensing signals through the sensing electrodes. The excitation electrodes are arranged in an array structure using multiple electrode units. A control module controls the excitation generation module to drive each electrode unit to output an excitation signal and acquire the corresponding sensing signal to calculate the point with the lowest human body resistance as the acupoint location. Compared with existing technologies, this invention uses a method of calculating relative resistance values ​​in a circuit to determine the acupoint location, thus eliminating the need for any sensors and significantly reducing hardware implementation costs. Furthermore, it uses transistors to implement the electrode units and achieves electrode selection in the array through row and column dual-terminal control, greatly reducing the complexity of circuit connections and control.

[0008] Unfortunately, in the process of acupuncture, acupoint detection and location are only the first step; the crucial second step is the needling process itself. Currently, disposable intradermal needles or ear needles used by traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are mostly individually packaged and used separately. For example, due to the small size of ear needles, a needle holder is usually required for convenient use, which not only increases production costs but also makes them inconvenient to use. Therefore, if a convenient and efficient needling device for acupoint detection and location could be provided, it would not only overcome the above problems and save costs but also promote the widespread application of acupuncture techniques, allowing them to play a greater role.

[0009] Patent application number 201910454406.X discloses an intelligent acupuncture device with acupoint positioning function. This device can perform both regular acupuncture and moxibustion. It locates acupoints on the human body using positioning patches and transmits the information to a controller to generate a meridian map of the human torso and limbs. Simultaneously, the positioning patches determine the actual needling location. The difference between the actual needling location and the acupoint location planned according to the meridian map is communicated to the user via a display on the controller. The user can quickly and accurately locate the acupoint by referring to information displayed on the display such as "The correct location of acupoint XX needs to be moved X inches to the right." However, positioning involves control unit analysis, and the needling method is conventional, resulting in a complex structure, high cost, inconvenience, and difficulty in widespread adoption.

[0010] The applicant previously proposed a convenient and efficient ear acupuncture device (application number 202110424220.7), which includes a needle gun and an ear acupuncture needle holder connected to one side of the needle gun. The needle gun includes a gun body, which includes a support part. A clamping and fixing member is connected to the upper end of the support part, and an ear acupuncture needle through hole is provided on the axis of the support part. A push pin member corresponding to the ear acupuncture needle through hole is provided through the center of the clamping and fixing member. A lifting spring is clamped between the push pin member and the support part. A pressure cap is provided at the upper end of the push pin member, and the lower end of the push pin member can compress the lifting spring and pass through the ear acupuncture needle through hole. The ear acupuncture needle holder automatically provides ear acupuncture needles for the needle gun. This invention is reasonably and novel in design, with a clever and compact structure, which greatly improves the ear acupuncture needle holding capacity of the ear acupuncture device. The needle gun can conveniently and efficiently push the ear acupuncture needles out of the gun body in sequence, thereby meeting the needs of users, reducing the consumption of consumables for disposable ear acupuncture devices, and reducing production costs. The disadvantage is that it still cannot complete the acupuncture while the detector is measuring the acupoint location. For non-professionals, if the detector leaves the acupoint, it may cause inaccurate needle insertion and affect the acupuncture effect.

[0011] Currently, there is an ear acupuncture detector on the market that detects the changes in electrical properties at certain acupoints on the auricle when diseases occur in the human body (body and internal organs), and then detects the corresponding positive reaction points for targeted treatment. However, there are many acupoints on the auricle, and for non-professionals, there is also the problem that once the detector detects a positive reaction point, it cannot accurately locate it. Summary of the Invention

[0012] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an integrated acupoint detection, positioning, and acupuncture device. It simultaneously detects and positions acupoints, enabling rapid acupuncture insertion. The device is simple in structure, easy to implement, and convenient to use.

The outer shell (15) is provided with an acupoint needle receiving cavity that opens inward. The acupoint needle receiving cavity contains an acupoint needle (5) and is equipped with a thrust spring (6) in cooperation with the acupoint needle (5). The inner shell wall is provided with an acupoint needle outlet. The acupoint needle outlet corresponds to the acupoint needle inlet at the corresponding position of the acupoint needle receiving part in the hollow inner cavity of the probe needle (2).

[0016] The integrated acupoint detection, positioning and acupuncture device includes an upper cover (8) in the needle box. The upper cover (8) is designed to cooperate with the outer shell and the inner shell. The outer shell (15) is provided with a groove (9). The upper cover and the groove are provided with corresponding cylindrical protrusions (10). The outer shell and the inner shell are connected as one unit by the groove and the cylindrical protrusions.

[0017] The integrated acupoint detection, positioning and acupuncture device has matching positioning grooves and protrusions on the inner edge of the inner shell (16) and the outer edge of the probe needle (2), respectively. The outer shell (15) of the needle box (4) can rotate relative to the inner shell and the probe needle (2). Furthermore, a limiting protrusion (7) is provided on the upper part of the position corresponding to the acupoint needle accommodating part of the hollow inner cavity of the probe needle (2) and the needle box.

[0018] The integrated acupoint detection, positioning, and acupuncture device described herein uses an acupoint needle ejection mechanism with two electromagnets, one moving and one stationary; or it uses one electromagnet in conjunction with one permanent magnet; the ejection needle component of the ejection mechanism is linked with the moving electromagnet or the permanent magnet, and a reset spring (22) is provided in the inner cavity of the handle housing in conjunction with the ejection needle component; the electromagnetic coil of the electromagnet is connected to the power supply through a control switch, and the control switch is located on the handle housing for easy operation; the control switch is a momentary self-resetting switch.

[0026] To make the technical concept and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solution of this invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the following embodiments are only used to explain and illustrate preferred embodiments of this invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of patent protection claimed by this invention. Example

[0027] See Figures 1-4This invention relates to an integrated acupoint detection, positioning, and acupuncture device, comprising an acupoint detector. The acupoint detector includes a handle housing 1, a probe needle 2, a hand-held electrode 3, and a detection circuit disposed inside the handle housing 1 and electrically connected to the probe needle 2 and the hand-held electrode 3. This invention adds an acupoint needle emission / ejection structure to the existing acupoint detector: the probe needle 2 is hollow, with its inner cavity diameter matching the outer diameter of the acupoint needle 5. An acupoint needle ejection mechanism is provided in the hollow cavities of the handle housing 1 and the probe needle 2. The front end of the hollow cavity of the probe needle serves as an acupoint needle receiving cavity and an acupoint needle ejection outlet. The acupoint needle ejection mechanism includes an ejector pin that mates with the acupoint needle seat. The front end of the ejector pin mate engages with the tail seat of the acupoint needle 5. The ejector pin mate is a push rod 19.

[0028] The acupoint detector is based on commercially available ear acupoint detectors, with improvements and functional upgrades to achieve the purpose of this invention. Figure 1 In the diagram, number 11 is the power switch, 12 is the detection indicator light (red, yellow, and green), 13 is the sensitivity adjustment dial / potential, and the front of the detection needle 2 is equipped with a detection pressure calibration reference point scale line 14.

[0029] The intradermal needles include, but are not limited to, ear needles. Example

[0030] The integrated acupoint detection, positioning, and acupuncture device of this embodiment differs from that of Embodiment 1 in that: a needle box 4 is provided on the outside of the probe needle and at a position corresponding to the acupoint needle receiving cavity of the probe needle and its hollow inner cavity. An acupoint needle outlet is provided on the inner side of the needle box 4, and an acupoint needle inlet is provided at a position corresponding to the acupoint needle receiving cavity of the probe needle and its hollow inner cavity. The acupoint needle outlet provided on the inner wall of the needle box corresponds to the acupoint needle inlet provided in the hollow inner cavity of the probe needle.

[0031] For ear needles, the needle box structure in this embodiment can adopt the ear needle box disclosed in the ear needle device previously proposed by the applicant (application number 202110424220.7). Example

[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3The integrated acupoint detection, positioning, and acupuncture device described in this embodiment differs from that in Embodiment 2 in that: the needle box 4 is a hollow circular disc structure, and the needle box is connected to the probe needle 2 through its central circular hole. The needle box 4 includes an outer shell 15 and an inner shell 16 that are matched and connected together, and the outer shell 15 and the inner shell 16 are rotatably connected relative to each other; the outer diameter of the inner shell matches the inner diameter of the outer shell, and the inner diameter of the inner shell matches the outer diameter of the probe needle 2; the outer shell 15 is provided with an inwardly open acupoint needle receiving cavity, the acupoint needle 5 is placed inside the acupoint needle receiving cavity, and a thrust spring 6 is provided in cooperation with the acupoint needle 5; the inner shell wall is provided with an acupoint needle outlet, and the acupoint needle outlet corresponds to the acupoint needle inlet at the corresponding position of the acupoint needle receiving part in the hollow inner cavity of the probe needle 2.

[0033] The needle cartridge includes an upper cover 8, which is designed to fit with the outer shell 15 and the inner shell 16. The outer shell 15 is provided with a groove 9, and the upper cover 8 is provided with a columnar protrusion 10 corresponding to the groove 9. The outer shell 15 and the inner shell 16 are connected as one unit by the groove 9 and the columnar protrusion 10.

[0034] To ensure that the acupoint needle outlet of the inner shell 16 and the acupoint needle receiving cavity of the hollow inner cavity of the probe needle are precisely aligned, a matching positioning groove 20 and a protruding strip 21 are respectively provided on the inner edge of the inner shell 16 and the outer edge of the probe needle 2. The outer shell 15 of the needle box 4 rotates relative to the inner shell and the probe needle 2. A limiting protrusion 7 is provided on the upper part of the position corresponding to the acupoint needle receiving part of the hollow inner cavity of the probe needle 2, matching the needle box.

[0035] After one acupuncture treatment, rotate the outer shell 15. When the open end of the acupuncture needle receiving cavity of the outer shell 15 corresponds to the acupuncture needle outlet of the inner shell 16, the acupuncture needle 5 in the needle box is automatically pushed into the intradermal needle receiving cavity of the hollow inner cavity of the probe needle under the action of the thrust spring 6.

[0036] This design allows for the refilling of ear needles or other intradermal needles in the needle cartridge after use, enabling recycling and making it both environmentally friendly and hygienic. Example

[0037] See Figures 1-4 The integrated acupoint detection, positioning, and acupuncture device of this embodiment differs from the aforementioned embodiments in that: the acupoint needle ejection mechanism uses two electromagnets, one moving and one stationary; or it uses one electromagnet 17 in conjunction with one permanent magnet 18; the ejection needle component (ejector rod 19) of the ejection mechanism is linked with the moving electromagnet or the permanent magnet, and a return spring 22 is provided in the inner cavity of the handle housing in conjunction with the ejection needle component; the electromagnetic coil of the electromagnet is connected to the power supply through a control switch 23, and the control switch is located on the handle housing for easy operation; the control switch 23 is a momentary self-resetting switch.

[0038] Two electromagnets working together, or one electromagnet and one permanent magnet, are used. The currents in the electromagnetic coils of the two electromagnets flow in opposite directions. When using a single electromagnet, the polarity of the electromagnetic field generated by the current in the coil is opposite to that of the permanent magnet. This repulsion between like poles is achieved by momentarily connecting the power supply via a control switch, generating a repulsive force that allows the intradermal needle to pierce the skin. The force can be adjusted by controlling the magnitude of the current in the electromagnetic coil.

[0039] For ease of operation, the control switch can also be integrated with the acupoint detection hand-held electrode. The hand-held electrode acts as a sensor switch for acupoint detection and positioning, and also functions as a push-button self-resetting switch. Pressing the hand-held electrode controls the power supply to the electromagnet. This allows the electromagnet to receive current when an acupoint is detected, enabling the ear acupuncture needle to be inserted behind the ear / intradermal needle to penetrate the skin. It is simple, convenient, and quick to use. Example

[0040] The integrated acupoint detection, positioning, and acupuncture device of this embodiment differs from the aforementioned embodiments in that: Figure 5 As shown, the acupoint needle ejection mechanism is spring-driven, including a thrust spring 25, a return spring 22, and a thrust spring contraction and release control mechanism. The upper end of the thrust spring 25 is fixed inside the handle housing, and the lower end of the spring is provided with a thrust block 26. Return handles 27 are provided on both sides of the thrust block 26. The return handles 27 are located in corresponding slits 30 on both sides of the handle housing. Positioning grooves 28 are provided on the handle housing above the slits on both sides or opposite sides, corresponding to the return handles. The return handles 27 and the positioning grooves 28 form the thrust spring contraction and release control mechanism. A force-receiving block 29 is provided at the upper end of the ejector needle / rod 19 in cooperation with the thrust block. A return spring 22 is provided between the force-receiving block 29 and the bottom of the handle housing. 24 in the figure shows the connecting wire for the detection needle.

[0041] Pulling up the reset handle 27 (along the slit) compresses the thrust spring. Rotating the reset handle allows it to settle within the positioning slot 28, completing the spring's energy storage. During needle application, rotating the reset handle in the opposite direction releases the spring from the positioning slot, releasing the stored energy. The spring then strikes the thrust block, pushing out the acupuncture needle and completing the needle application. The needle ejector returns to its original position under the action of the reset spring, and rotating the needle cartridge completes the supplementary needle application. At this point, pulling up the reset handle again and positioning it prepares for the next needle application. Several positioning slots can be provided on both sides of the slit in the handle housing to achieve varying degrees of spring energy storage (different spring compression / displacement), adjusting the needle application force and overcoming fatigue caused by long-term spring compression.

[0042] It should be understood that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute a limitation of the present invention.

[0043] Compared to existing technologies, this invention can achieve precise acupoint detection and location, and can quickly insert needles into acupoints while simultaneously detecting and locating them. It has a simple structure, is easy to implement, and is convenient to use. It is particularly helpful for the rapid application of acupuncture as an adjunct therapy to positive reaction points for certain diseases.

[0044] Guided by the prior art, those skilled in the art can make other modifications to the implementation of the present invention without creative effort. Any modifications made within the spirit and principles of the present invention, or simple substitutions or equivalent replacements made using conventional technical means in the art, should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
