[0017] 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.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-5 This invention provides an embodiment of an acupressure device for massage therapy, comprising a bed frame 1 made of a medical-grade stainless steel frame and a high-density memory foam mattress. The frame surface is treated with anti-corrosion, and the mattress conforms to the ergonomic curve, providing a stable and comfortable support platform for the patient. A lifting control console 2 integrates a touch control panel and a hydraulic drive module, and its outer end is hinged to a connecting frame 3 via a telescopic arm. The height and front-back position of the connecting frame 3 can be adjusted according to the patient's body shape to achieve precise alignment. The connecting frame 3 is an arc-shaped integrated frame, with the inner wall made of environmentally friendly ABS material injection molding, and the surface is smooth and easy to clean. It is equipped with a pressure mechanism 4 inside. The pressure mechanism 4 includes a fixing groove 401, an electric telescopic rod 402, a connector 403, and a protective sleeve. 404. The interior of the connecting frame 3 has multiple sets of embedded fixing slots 401 distributed according to the meridians and acupoints on the back of the human body. The slots are lined with anti-slip rubber pads. A servo-driven electric telescopic rod 402 is installed in the fixing slot 401 by bolts. The stroke range is 0-50mm and the positioning accuracy is ±0.1mm. Its position corresponds one-to-one with the main acupoints of the Du meridian, Bladder meridian and other meridians on the back of the human body. The bottom of the electric telescopic rod 402 is connected to a high-strength engineering plastic connector 403 through a threaded interface. A protective sleeve 404 is fitted on the lower end of the connector 403. The surface has a wavy anti-slip texture. It can be removed and disinfected. The protective sleeve 404 is fixed to the connector 403 by elastic buckles. It plays a role in buffering the impact of pressing and avoiding direct skin contact with metal parts. This device, through the setting of the point pressure mechanism 4, solves the problem that non-professionals or novice doctors cannot quickly and accurately find standard acupoints, and at the same time, the pressure intensity is uncontrollable.

[0019] Furthermore, the pressure-pressing mechanism 4 also includes a pressure sensor 407, a PLC controller 409, and a battery 410: the top of the connector 403 is rigidly connected to the electric telescopic rod 402 via a connecting bolt 411 (made of 304 stainless steel, M6 internal hexagonal head, pre-tightening torque 5 N·m, and thread anti-loosening treatment); a miniature piezoresistive pressure sensor 407 (range 0-50N, accuracy ±0.2%FS, surface potted with epoxy resin to achieve IP67 waterproof rating) is embedded in the central groove inside the connector 403. It can convert the pressing contact force into a 4-20mA standard electrical signal in real time; the top of the connector 403 is fixed with a Siemens S7-1200 series micro PLC controller 409 (integrated PID control algorithm, response time ≤10ms) and a 2000mAh lithium polymer battery 410 (output voltage 12V, supports USB-C fast charging, can maintain emergency operation for 30 minutes in case of power failure) via a waterproof aviation connector. The PLC controller is connected to the pressure sensor 407, the electric telescopic rod 402 and the battery 410 through a waterproof aviation connector. Figure 5 As shown, the working logic of this structure is as follows: When the electric telescopic rod 402 drives the protective sleeve 404 to press the acupoint, the pressure sensor 407 collects the contact pressure data in real time and transmits it to the PLC controller 409. The PLC performs closed-loop control according to the preset pressure threshold (e.g., adjustable from 20-40N). If the detected pressure is lower than the threshold, the telescopic rod continues to descend; if the threshold is reached, the telescopic rod stops immediately and the pressure is kept stable; if the pressure exceeds the safety limit, the telescopic rod is triggered to retract, effectively avoiding discomfort or damage caused by excessive pressing, thereby achieving precise and safe acupoint pressure control.

[0020] Furthermore, a vibrator 408 is fixedly installed inside the connector 403. The vibrator 408 is a miniature eccentric wheel vibration motor (rated power 2W, operating voltage 12V DC, vibration frequency range adjustable from 50-200Hz, amplitude 0.5-2mm, housing made of ABS flame-retardant material). It is fixed in the reserved mounting slot inside the connector 403 by M2 self-tapping screws. The installation position is symmetrically distributed with the pressure sensor 407 to avoid vibration interfering with the pressure detection accuracy. The vibrator 408 and the PLC controller 409 are connected via a two-core shielded cable through a waterproof aviation plug. The cable length is adapted to the internal wiring space of the connector, and the interface is sealed to achieve an IP65 protection rating. Figure 5As shown, the vibration function of this structure is implemented as follows: the PLC controller 409 sends a PWM control signal to the vibrator according to a preset program or user input parameters, adjusting the motor speed to change the vibration frequency; simultaneously, it dynamically adjusts the vibration intensity based on the pressure data fed back by the pressure sensor 407—when the pressure reaches a threshold (e.g., 30N), it switches to a high-frequency, low-amplitude mode (150-200Hz, amplitude 0.5mm) to enhance penetration; when the pressure is insufficient, it maintains a low-frequency, high-amplitude mode (50-100Hz, amplitude 2mm) to ensure effective contact. This collaborative control not only simulates the "vibration technique" of a professional massage therapist, but also achieves stable stimulation that is difficult to maintain manually through precise parameter adjustment, promoting the flow of Qi and blood in the meridians to achieve a deep-level therapeutic effect of "Qi reaching the diseased area".

[0021] Furthermore, the protective cover is made of medical-grade transparent silicone (Shore hardness 50-60HA, meets ISO10993 biocompatibility standards, and can withstand high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization at 121℃). Its structure features an arc-shaped contact surface with a wavy anti-slip texture to enhance pressure fit, and a 2mm thickened buffer layer at the edges. Figure 4 As shown, the protective sleeve 404 achieves an interference fit with the annular groove at the lower end of the connector 403 through an elastic buckle, and the interface is embedded with a food-grade silicone sealing ring to achieve an IP65 waterproof rating. The function of this structure is not only to prevent the connector 403 from directly contacting the patient's skin to prevent pressure injury, but also to disperse the pressure through the elastic cushioning of the silicone material and improve skin comfort. At the same time, the detachable design facilitates postoperative cleaning and disinfection, effectively reducing the risk of cross-infection.

[0022] Furthermore, the bottom of the connector 403 is screwed onto a fixing tube 405 via an M3 threaded interface. The fixing tube 405 is injection molded from medical-grade ABS engineering plastic, with an inner diameter of 8mm and a length of 15mm. A food-grade silicone O-ring is embedded at the interface, achieving an IP65 dustproof and waterproof rating. Inside the fixing tube 405, a laser emitter 406 is installed via an embedded slot. The laser emitter 406 is a Class II red visible laser module (wavelength 650nm, output power ≤1mW, conforming to GB7247.1-2012 laser safety standard). Its beam axis is strictly coaxial with the telescopic axis of the electric telescopic rod 402, ensuring that the laser irradiation point and the subsequent pressure point are completely coincident. The laser emitter 406 is connected to a PLC controller 409 via a two-core micro-wire, powered by a 12V battery 410. The PLC can control the laser's on / off state and brightness adjustment via a program. Figure 4As shown, the positioning process of this structure is as follows: When non-professionals or novice physicians operate, they first select "Acupoint Positioning Mode" on the touch panel of the lifting control console 2. The PLC starts the laser emitter 406 corresponding to the acupoint. By adjusting the height of the lifting control console 2 and the front and rear positions of the connecting frame 3, the laser red dot is accurately aligned with the target acupoint on the patient's back. After confirming that the positioning is correct, the system switches to "Point Pressure Therapy Mode". The laser automatically turns off, the electric telescopic rod 402 starts and performs acupoint pressure according to the preset parameters. This effectively solves the problem of acupoint positioning difficulties for non-professionals and improves the ease of use and positioning accuracy of the device.

[0023] Furthermore, multiple sets of observation windows 7 are fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting frame 3. The observation windows 7 are made of medical-grade transparent polycarbonate (PC) material (light transmittance ≥90%, impact resistance 250 times that of ordinary glass, conforming to GB / T 11614-2022 safety glass standard). The structure is designed as a rectangular, recessed window with rounded corners (single set size 150mm × 80mm, edges chamfered 2mm to prevent scratches). The observation windows 7 are symmetrically installed on the surface of the connecting frame 3, and the position of each set of observation windows corresponds one-to-one with the distribution of the internal point-pressing mechanism 4, such as... Figure 2 As shown. The specific functions of this structure include: when the pressure point mechanism 4 is in operation, medical staff can monitor the skin condition of the pressure point in real time through the observation window (such as whether there is abnormal redness, swelling or discomfort such as slight movement of the patient's limbs), and at the same time observe whether the protective cover 404 of the pressure point mechanism is in close contact with the skin and whether the operation of the vibrator 408 is stable; in addition, the high light transmittance of the transparent material ensures clear observation even in low light environment, which makes it convenient for medical staff to adjust the pressure parameters or vibration frequency of the electric telescopic rod 402 according to the real-time situation, thereby improving the safety and accuracy of treatment.

[0024] Furthermore, multiple sets of heating lamps 6 are equidistantly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the connecting frame 3. The heating lamps 6 use far-infrared carbon fiber heating tubes (rated power 150W / set, operating voltage 220V AC, wavelength range 8-14μm, conforming to GB / T 2900.10-2008 standard for electrothermal terminology). The installation spacing of each set of heating lamps is 200mm, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the inner wall of the connecting frame (e.g., ...). Figure 2(As shown). This structure is equipped with an intelligent temperature control system: a temperature sensor installed on the top of the connecting frame 3 collects the internal ambient temperature in real time, and the PLC controller 409 automatically adjusts the output power of the heating lamp according to a preset threshold (adjustable from 35℃ to 42℃). Heating is automatically started when the temperature is below 35℃ and stopped when it is above 42℃, ensuring that the treatment area maintains a suitable temperature. Its physiotherapy function not only ensures the comfort of patients wearing less clothing, but also uses far-infrared radiation to penetrate deep into the subcutaneous tissue (penetration depth can reach 3-5cm), promoting local blood circulation and relieving muscle tension. It forms a synergistic effect with acupressure and vibration stimulation, enhancing the physiotherapy effect of "qi reaching the disease site". At the same time, the carbon fiber material has the advantages of rapid heating (reaching working temperature within 30 seconds), uniform heating, and no strong light glare, improving the treatment experience.

[0025] Furthermore, the connecting frame 3 has a positioning groove 5 inside, and the positioning groove 5 is arc-shaped. For example... Figure 2 As shown, this structure is used to make the inside of the connecting frame 3 fit the human body through the setting of the positioning groove 5, thereby improving the applicability of the device.

[0026] Working principle: When using, such as Figure 1 As shown, the patient lies on bed 1, and the corresponding numerical information is entered at the lifting control console 2. The lifting control console 2 is then activated, moving the connecting frame 3 to the appropriate position, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, based on the patient's need for pressure, the electric telescopic rod 402 corresponding to the acupoint is activated. The electric telescopic rod 402 drives the protective sleeve 404 at the connecting piece 403 to descend, pressing the acupoint. During the pressing, as... Figure 5 As shown, the pressure intensity is fed back through the pressure sensor 407, thereby controlling the descent distance of the electric telescopic rod 402. According to the pressing needs, the vibrator 408 is activated, which drives the protective sleeve 404 to vibrate, achieving a deep stimulation effect that is difficult to maintain for a long time by manual massage. The above is the entire working principle of the present invention.

[0027] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
