[0002] As society pays more attention to special education, how to provide effective medical and health knowledge learning tools for the visually impaired, especially the blind, has become one of the important topics in the field of medical education. As a core component of traditional Chinese medicine theory, human meridians are essential for understanding human physiological functions, disease mechanisms, and treatment methods such as acupuncture and massage. However, traditional meridian simulators and related teaching equipment mostly rely on visual presentation, such as meridian maps and color differences of marking points, which is undoubtedly an intuitive and effective teaching method for students with normal vision.

[0003] However, for the blind or visually impaired, it is often difficult to understand and master the meridian theory and acupoint location because they cannot observe directly. Existing meridian teaching methods for the visually impaired, such as using Braille teaching materials to describe the meridian routes and acupoint locations in detail, have met the needs of obtaining text information to a certain extent, but there are problems such as cumbersome learning process and low efficiency. Braille reading requires touch recognition of each word, and the description of the complex and tortuous meridian routes and the precise location of acupoints often requires a lot of space, which is not conducive to rapid understanding and memory.

[0004] In addition, the existing models cannot simulate the actual touch of meridians, making it difficult for visually impaired students to accurately perceive and grasp the meridian paths and acupoint locations in actual operations. In view of this, it is urgent to develop a meridian simulator designed specifically for the blind and visually impaired. This device should be able to overcome the limitations of existing teaching methods, provide dual guidance of touch and hearing, and enable visually impaired students to efficiently and accurately learn and master the knowledge of human meridians.

[0005] In summary, the meridian teaching tools for the blind and visually impaired on the market are still significantly insufficient and cannot fully meet their special learning needs. Therefore, developing a meridian simulator that can generate heat and sound for the blind is not only of great practical significance, but also an urgent need to fill the gap in the field of special education and promote the equity of medical education resources.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solution of the utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 This embodiment provides a human meridian model suitable for blind people. Its structural design helps blind users to accurately understand and learn the human meridian system and its related acupoints through tactile and auditory aids. It includes: a base 1 and a rubber human model 2 arranged on the base 1; the base 1 serves as the support base of the entire model to ensure overall stability and facilitate users to play voice and operate heating meridians. The rubber human model 2 is fixed on the base 1 and is made of rubber material with good touch, which is convenient for blind users to perceive the location of meridians and acupoints by touch.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 The rubber human body model 2 includes a meridian acupoint layer 21 and a plurality of heating meridian wires 22 (illustrated meridian lines in the figure, not the actual meridian distribution of the human body) arranged on the surface of the meridian acupoint layer 21. The meridian acupoint layer 21 simulates the surface and internal meridian distribution of the human body, including the meridian direction and the location information of each acupoint. The heating meridian wires 22 are arranged on the inner and outer surfaces of the meridian acupoint layer 21, and are composed of external meridian circulation heating wires and internal meridian circulation wires. These two types of wires are connected in communication and jointly simulate the circulation paths of the internal and external meridians of the human body. The external heating wires fit the surface of the model, allowing the user to perceive the meridian route through temperature changes; the internal wires simulate the direction of the deep meridians. Although they cannot be directly touched, their thermal effects can be transmitted to the surface of the model through the rubber material to enhance the three-dimensional perception effect. The distribution route of the external meridian circulation heating wires is consistent with the actual meridian route of the human body on the surface. The internal meridian heating wires are electrically connected to the battery and the meridian heating switch 24 through the connecting wires, so that when the corresponding meridian heating switch 24 is turned on, the corresponding meridian heating wire generates heat.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1, the heating meridian line 22 is connected to multiple acupoint simulation balloons 23, and the balloons are circular convex structures. When the meridian line heats up, the balloons heat up synchronously, simulating the thermosensitive characteristics of the acupoints, further helping users locate and identify the acupoints. This layer is finely designed to ensure the accuracy of the meridian lines, and form obvious depressions or protrusions at the corresponding acupoint positions, which is convenient for blind users to identify acupoints by touch. The heating meridian line 22 is connected to multiple acupoint simulation balloons 23, and the base 1 is also provided with a voice broadcast module 3 for broadcasting the meridian paths and acupoint names. The voice broadcast module 3 adopts commercially available existing technology.

The meridian heating switch 24 is also arranged on the base 1, and is equipped with a plurality of buttons corresponding to the heating of different meridians. The user presses a specific button to activate the heating function of the corresponding meridian line, so that the selected meridian line and the acupoint simulation balloon 23 connected thereto produce a warm feeling. The connection position between the meridian heating switch 24 and the heating meridian line 22 is located at the two feet of the rubber human body model 2. This layout facilitates the user to conveniently control the heating system while operating the model. The meridian heating switch 24 key adopts tactile identification, which is convenient for blind users to identify and operate.

[0027] The distribution routes of the external meridian heating lines are the following fourteen meridians on the human body surface: lung meridian, large intestine meridian, stomach meridian, spleen meridian, heart meridian, small intestine meridian, bladder meridian, kidney meridian, pericardium meridian, triple burner meridian, gallbladder meridian, liver meridian, conception meridian, and governor meridian. The external meridian heating lines are connected to the battery and the meridian heating switch 24 through the internal meridian heating wire and the connecting wire inside the rubber human body model 2. There are fourteen meridian heating switches 24, which respectively control the meridian lines of the lung meridian, large intestine meridian, stomach meridian, spleen meridian, heart meridian, small intestine meridian, bladder meridian, kidney meridian, pericardium meridian, triple burner meridian, gallbladder meridian, liver meridian, conception meridian, and governor meridian. When different meridian heating switches 24 are turned on, the corresponding meridians are heated. The voice playback knob can be turned to 12 indication points, which represent the twelve meridians: lung meridian, large intestine meridian, stomach meridian, spleen meridian, heart meridian, small intestine meridian, bladder meridian, kidney meridian, pericardium meridian, triple burner meridian, gallbladder meridian, and liver meridian. After turning on the voice playing switch 32, the voice playing knob 33 is turned, and the voice player 31 plays the name, starting and ending points, running route and acupuncture points of the corresponding meridian.

[0028] In summary, the human meridian model for the blind provided in this embodiment provides an intuitive and interactive learning tool for blind users by integrating multiple sensory experiences such as touch (rubber material, heating meridian line 22 and acupoint simulation balloon 23) and hearing (voice broadcast module 3), which helps them to deeply understand and master the knowledge of human meridians. Through the control elements on the base, users can easily switch learning content and activate related functions, ensuring the convenience and adaptability of the model.
