Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of acupuncture instrument technology, and in particular to an acupuncture point embedding device. Background Technology

[0002] Multi-directional thread embedding at a single acupoint (e.g., fan-shaped embedding, radial embedding, cross embedding, etc.) can create a multi-dimensional stimulation field within a single acupoint, improving treatment efficacy and reducing the number of acupoints requiring skin puncture. This therapy requires the precise embedding of multiple threads into the target tissue at different directions and depths from the same skin insertion point.

[0003] In related techniques, the thread embedding device can only hold one thread at a time. When performing multi-directional thread embedding at a single acupoint, after each thread is embedded, the device must be completely removed from the body, a new thread must be inserted, and the acupoint alignment and angle adjustment must be repeated before the next puncture. This requires repeated thread insertion and acupoint alignment, making it difficult to conveniently and accurately adjust the needle's tilt angle in any direction, resulting in low embedding efficiency and affecting the treatment effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the above-mentioned technologies.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide an acupuncture point embedding device that can achieve precise tilting adjustment of the needle tube in any direction after a single skin puncture and automatically complete the continuous embedding of multiple threads.

[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, the output shaft axis of the first motor coincides with the central axis of the needle tube when it is in the vertical working position, and the output shaft axis of the first motor is perpendicular to the output shaft axis of the second motor.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the hinge includes: a fixed connecting seat, a movable connecting seat, a hinge shaft, and a rotating shaft, wherein the fixed connecting seat is connected to the movable connecting seat through the hinge shaft, the rotating shaft is disposed at the lower part of the fixed connecting seat, the rotating shaft is connected to the inner cylinder through a bearing, the rotating shaft is magnetically connected to the electromagnet, and the driving end of the electric telescopic rod is connected to the movable connecting seat.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, a third motor is provided on the fixed connecting base, and the driving end of the third motor is connected to the hinge shaft.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, the vertical drive assembly includes: a first ball screw driver and a second ball screw driver, wherein the first ball screw driver and the second ball screw driver are respectively disposed in the inner cylinder, a mounting seat is disposed on the drive end of the first ball screw driver, the needle tube is detachably connected to the mounting seat, the pusher is disposed on the drive end of the second ball screw driver, and the needle tube and the pusher are coaxially disposed.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the electrically controlled turntable includes: a bearing housing, a drive wheel, a wire storage tray, and a toothed ring, wherein the bearing housing is disposed on the mounting base, the wire storage tray is disposed on the bearing housing, the toothed ring is disposed on the side wall of the wire storage tray, the drive wheel is disposed on the outer wall of the bearing housing, and the drive wheel meshes with the toothed ring.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, a first electric push rod is provided on the mounting base, and the driving end of the first electric push rod is connected to the bearing seat; the wire storage tray is provided with multiple concentric wire storage areas, and multiple wire storage through holes are opened in the wire storage areas, and the wire storage through holes in the multiple wire storage areas respectively accommodate wires of different lengths.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, a mounting plate is provided at the lower part of the bearing housing, and a plurality of wire connection and disconnection baffles are provided on the mounting plate, with each of the plurality of wire connection and disconnection baffles corresponding to a plurality of turns of the wire storage area.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the wire connection / disconnection baffle includes: a second electric push rod, a wire stop plate, and a wire guide plate, wherein a through groove is formed on the mounting plate, the second electric push rod is disposed in the through groove, the wire guide plate is disposed at the driving end of the second electric push rod, the wire stop plate is connected to the wire guide plate, and the wire stop plate and the wire guide plate are slidably connected to the through groove respectively, and a through hole is formed on the wire guide plate.

The touch controller is configured to control the first motor, the swing assembly, the electromagnet, the vertical drive assembly, and the electrically controlled turntable, respectively.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0017] When the first motor drives the entire swing assembly to rotate horizontally, the electromagnet is de-energized and disengages from the hinge, and the inner cylinder does not rotate with the swing assembly. After the swing assembly is horizontally aligned, the electromagnet is energized and magnetically reconnects with the hinge. Then, the second motor, in conjunction with the electric telescopic rod, drives the hinge to swing the inner cylinder, allowing for convenient and accurate adjustment of the needle's tilt angle in any direction. After a single skin puncture completes the placement of one suture, the electrically controlled turntable automatically delivers a new suture to the working position between the needle and the pusher. This eliminates the need for manual threading or re-alignment of the acupoint, enabling continuous multi-directional suture placement and improving the efficiency of acupoint suture placement. After initial acupoint positioning, multi-directional suture placement is performed by precisely adjusting the needle's tilt angle, ensuring that each suture is accurately placed in the preset position, resulting in a more stable and reliable treatment effect.

[0030] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0031] The acupuncture point embedding device of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] The acupuncture point embedding device of this invention, as described in this embodiment, is as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it may include: housing 1, first motor 2, swing assembly 3, inner cylinder 4, vertical drive assembly 6 and electrically controlled turntable 9.

[0033] The first motor 2 is housed inside the housing 1. The swing assembly 3 includes a second motor 31, an electric telescopic rod 32, and a hinge 33. The second motor 31 is located at the drive end of the first motor 2. The drive end of the second motor 31 is connected to the hinge 33 via the electric telescopic rod 32. The upper part of the inner cylinder 4 is rotatably connected to the hinge 33. An electromagnet 5 is installed on the inner cylinder 4, and the electromagnet 5 is detachably connected to the hinge 33. It should be noted that the inner cylinder 4 is a cylinder with its opening facing downwards.

[0034] Understandably, by energizing and de-energizing the electromagnet 5, selective connection between the inner cylinder 4 and the hinge 33 is achieved. When horizontal adjustment is required, the electromagnet 5 is de-energized, the inner cylinder 4 disengages from the hinge 33, and the rotation of the first motor 2 will not drive the inner cylinder 4 (thus preventing the needle tube 7 from being agitated at a large angle under the skin). Once the horizontal position is achieved, the electromagnet 5 is energized again and re-magnetically attracts the hinge 33, facilitating stable adjustment of the tilt angle of the inner cylinder 4.

[0035] The vertical drive assembly 6 is installed inside the inner cylinder 4. The vertical drive assembly 6 is equipped with a needle tube 7 and a pusher 8, which are detachably connected. The vertical drive assembly 6 is used to drive the needle tube 7 and the pusher 8 to move vertically respectively.

[0036] The electrically controlled turntable 9 is mounted on the vertical drive assembly 6. The electrically controlled turntable 9 has multiple thread storage holes 10 for accommodating the thread (the friction between the thread and the needle tube 7 can offset the gravity). The electrically controlled turntable 9 is positioned on the docking path between the needle tube 7 and the pusher core 8. The electrically controlled turntable 9 is configured to deliver a new thread between the needle tube 7 and the pusher core 8 by rotating after each thread embedding operation is completed.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the output shaft axis of the first motor 2 coincides with the central axis of the needle tube 7 when it is in the vertical working position, and the output shaft axis of the first motor 2 is perpendicular to the output shaft axis of the second motor 31.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 9As shown, the hinge 33 may include: a fixed connecting seat 331, a movable connecting seat 332, a hinge shaft 333, and a rotating shaft 334. The fixed connecting seat 331 is connected to the movable connecting seat 332 through the hinge shaft 333. The rotating shaft 334 is located at the lower part of the fixed connecting seat 331. The rotating shaft 334 is connected to the inner cylinder 4 through a bearing. The rotating shaft 334 is magnetically connected to the electromagnet 5. The drive end of the electric telescopic rod 32 is connected to the movable connecting seat 332.

[0039] It is understood that, in this embodiment, the driving end of the second motor 31 drives the electric telescopic rod 32 to rotate around its own driving end axis. The electric telescopic rod 32 extends or retracts, driving the hinge 33 to tilt the inner cylinder 4. The tilting of the inner cylinder 4 can tilt the needle tube 7 to a preset angle. It should be noted that during this adjustment process, the tip of the needle tube 7 pierces the skin but has not yet reached the target depth.

[0040] Furthermore, a third motor 11 is provided on the fixed connecting base 331, and the drive end of the third motor 11 is connected to the hinge shaft 333. The third motor 11 can drive the hinge shaft 333 to rotate actively, forming a compound motion with the electric telescopic rod 32, allowing the inner cylinder 4 to adjust its tilt angle more flexibly. With the third motor 11 installed, tilt adjustment can be performed after the tip of the needle tube 7 is separated from the skin.

[0041] By opening and closing the brake on the third motor 11, two modes can be switched: "needle fine-tuning" (brake off) and "needle retraction and readjustment" (brake on). In clinical practice, these two modes can be flexibly selected or combined according to the target depth, tissue characteristics, operator proficiency, and specific suture path.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the vertical drive assembly 6 may include: a first ball screw driver 61 and a second ball screw driver 62, wherein the first ball screw driver 61 and the second ball screw driver 62 are respectively disposed in the inner cylinder 4, a mounting base 63 is provided on the drive end of the first ball screw driver 61, the needle tube 7 is detachably connected to the mounting base 63, and the pusher 8 is disposed on the drive end of the second ball screw driver 62, with the needle tube 7 and the pusher 8 being coaxially disposed.

[0043] It should be noted that the first ball screw driver 61 can drive the needle tube 7 at a speed of 150-750 mm / s, so that the needle tube 7 can quickly enter the target depth.

[0044] As one possible scenario, the mounting base 63 has a threaded hole, and the needle tube 7 is provided with a threaded connector, with the needle tube 7 being threadedly connected to the mounting base 63.

[0045] It is understood that the ball screw drive described in this embodiment may include: a drive motor, a ball screw, a ball slider, and a positioning rod. The ball screw is disposed on the drive end of the drive motor, the ball slider is disposed on the ball screw, and the ball slider is connected to the target item (e.g., mounting base 63, push core 8, etc.) as the drive end. The ball slider and the positioning rod are slidably connected. A drive chamber may be provided according to installation requirements, and the drive motor, ball screw, ball slider, and positioning rod are respectively disposed in the drive chamber.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the electrically controlled turntable 9 may include: a bearing housing 91, a drive wheel 92, a wire storage tray 93, and a gear ring 94. The bearing housing 91 is mounted on the mounting base 63 (the drive end of the first ball screw driver 61), the wire storage tray 93 is mounted on the bearing housing 91, the gear ring 94 is mounted on the side wall of the wire storage tray 93, and the drive wheel 92 is mounted on the outer wall of the bearing housing 91. The drive wheel 92 meshes with the gear ring 94. It should be noted that the drive wheel 92 may include: a gear and a motor. The gear is mounted on the drive end of the motor and meshes with the gear ring 94.

[0047] The outer shell includes a top cover and a barrel body, which are detachably connected. The first motor 2 is located on the inner wall of the top cover. The inner cylinder includes a barrel body and a bottom plate, which are detachably connected (e.g., magnetic connection, threaded connection, snap-fit, etc.).

[0048] It should be noted that both the outer shell 1 and the inner cylinder 4 are spliced ​​structures. After the outer shell 1 and the inner cylinder 4 are separated, the filament can be placed into the filament storage through hole 10 in the filament tray 93. When placing the filament, medical-grade aseptic operation must be ensured.

[0049] Specifically, before performing multi-directional thread embedding in a single cavity, threads of different lengths (e.g., PGA absorbable threads) are first inserted into the thread storage through-hole 10. Then, the needle tube 7 is installed on the mounting base 63 (the mounting base 63 and the first ball screw driver 61 are integrated) or the mounting base 63 is installed on the first ball screw driver 61 (the mounting base 63 and the needle tube 7 are integrated). The pusher 8 is installed on the drive end of the second ball screw driver 62. The front end of the pusher 8 is flat and has no cutting edge to avoid cutting the thread when pushing it.

[0050] After locating the acupoint, the first ball screw driver 61 drives the needle tube 7 to move vertically downwards, inserting it into the patient's skin to the predetermined depth. The insertion speed can be adjusted within the range of 0.5-2 mm / s according to the patient's tolerance. After the needle tube 7 reaches the predetermined depth, the first ball screw driver 61 drives the needle tube 7 to reciprocate, causing it to pull and thrust, generating a sensation of soreness, numbness, distension, and heaviness at the acupoint. Then, the second ball screw driver 62 drives the pusher 8 to slowly advance downwards, passing through the target suture storage hole 10 and pushing the suture within the hole into the needle tube 7. Finally, the suture is smoothly embedded into the acupoint tissue. After the suture is completely embedded, the second ball screw driver 62 drives the pusher 8 to return to its initial position, and the first ball screw driver 61 drives the needle tube 7 to retreat upwards to a safe position.

[0051] After one thread embedding is completed, the tilt angle of the needle tube 7 needs to be adjusted to prepare for the next thread embedding. When the electromagnet 5 is de-energized, it releases its magnetic connection with the rotating shaft 334. At this time, the inner cylinder 4 and the needle tube 7 do not rotate significantly with the swing assembly 3, and the needle tube 7 remains inside the patient's skin and does not need to be removed. After the first motor 2 drives the entire swing assembly 3 to rotate to the target position, the electromagnet 5 is energized and magnetically connected to the rotating shaft 334, making the inner cylinder 4 and the hinge 33 a single unit. The third motor 11 drives the hinge shaft 333 to rotate, and simultaneously the electric telescopic rod 32 extends and retracts, driving the inner cylinder 4 to tilt and swing, adjusting the needle tube 7 to the predetermined tilt angle.

[0052] After the angle adjustment is completed, before embedding the wire, start the drive wheel 92. The drive wheel 92 drives the wire storage disc 93 to rotate on the bearing seat 91 through meshing with the gear ring 94, so that the target wire storage through hole 10 rotates to the position coaxial with the needle tube 7. Repeat the above-mentioned wire pushing and embedding action to complete the embedding operation in this direction.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a first electric push rod 13 is provided on the mounting base 63. The drive end of the first electric push rod 13 is connected to the bearing seat 91. The wire storage tray 93 is provided with multiple concentric wire storage areas 12. Multiple wire storage through holes 10 are opened on the wire storage areas 12. Wires of different lengths are respectively provided in the wire storage through holes 10 in the multiple wire storage areas 12.

[0054] It is understood that the thread storage tray 93 described in this embodiment can be made of medical-grade polypropylene, which is lightweight and biocompatible. The different thread storage areas 12 can store threads of different lengths to meet the treatment needs of different acupoints and diseases. The working position of the different thread storage areas 12 is switched by pushing the bearing seat 91 horizontally through the first electric push rod 13.

[0055] A mounting plate 14 is provided at the lower part of the bearing housing 91. Multiple wire-connecting baffles 15 are provided on the mounting plate 14, each corresponding to a multi-turn wire storage area 12. Each wire-connecting baffle 15 includes a second electric push rod 151, a wire-blocking plate 152, and a wire-passing plate 153. The mounting plate 14 has a through groove, the second electric push rod 151 is disposed within the through groove, and the wire-passing plate 153 is disposed at the drive end of the second electric push rod 151. The wire-blocking plate 152 is connected to the wire-passing plate 153, and both the wire-blocking plate 152 and the wire-passing plate 153 are slidably connected to the through groove. The wire-passing plate 153 has a through hole. When the through hole is coaxial with the wire storage through hole 10 in the corresponding wire storage area 12, the push core 8, the through hole, the wire storage through hole 10, and the needle tube 7 are coaxially arranged and interconnected.

[0056] It should be noted that existing thread embedding devices can only hold one thread at a time. New threads are added after embedding, making it difficult for the thread to fall out of the needle tube 7 in a short period, and even if it does, it is easily detected. However, the thread storage tray 93 in this invention stores multiple threads. To prevent non-target threads from accidentally separating from the tray 93, the thread access baffle 15 can selectively block the non-target thread storage through-hole 10 by adjusting the positions of the thread blocking plate 152 and the thread guide plate 153. This effectively prevents non-target threads from separating from the tray 93 or accidentally falling out during rotation. When the target thread storage through-hole 10 rotates to a position coaxial with the needle tube 7, the corresponding second electric push rod 151 drives the thread guide plate 153 to move, making the through hole on the thread guide plate 153 coaxial with the target thread storage through-hole 10.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a touch controller 16 is provided on the housing 1, and a pressing tube 17 is provided at the lower part of the housing 1. The pressing tube 17 is connected to the housing 1, and a laser positioner 18 is provided inside the pressing tube 17. The touch controller 16 is electrically connected to the first motor 2, the swing assembly 3, the electromagnet 5, the vertical drive assembly 6, and the electric control turntable 9 respectively. The touch controller 16 is configured to control the first motor 2, the swing assembly 3, the electromagnet 5, the vertical drive assembly 6, and the electric control turntable 9 respectively. A sealing plug is snapped onto the pressing tube 17.

[0058] It is understood that the touch controller 16 described in this embodiment uses a color LCD touch screen (which can display information such as the current treatment plan, thread embedding progress, angle parameters, and depth parameters). The touch controller 16 can preset multiple treatment plans (e.g., obesity treatment plans, cervical spondylosis treatment plans, lumbar spondylosis treatment plans, etc.). Each treatment plan has preset parameters such as the corresponding thread embedding angle, depth, thread length, and number. The operator only needs to select the corresponding treatment plan to achieve automatic operation (if necessary, medical personnel can also adjust the thread embedding treatment plan in a timely manner according to the patient's physical condition or feedback during treatment). The laser locator 18 can emit a red cross laser beam to assist the operator in accurately aligning the acupuncture point. The pressing tube 17 is made of transparent medical-grade silicone material and can press and fix the skin around the acupuncture point during puncture, preventing skin slippage and improving puncture accuracy.

[0059] It should be noted that the motors described in the above embodiments (e.g., the first motor 2, the second motor 31, the third motor 11, etc.) are equipped with brakes, which can make the motor stop running quickly. A gearbox is provided on the drive end of the motor, and the drive end of the motor is connected to the input end of the gearbox. The output end of the gearbox constitutes the drive end of the motor, and the speed of the motor output is adjusted by the gearbox.

[0060] In summary, the acupuncture point embedding device of this invention can achieve precise tilting adjustment of the needle tube in any direction after a single skin puncture, and automatically complete the continuous embedding of multiple threads.
