Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of a foot acupoint pressing device, and more specifically, to a magnetic resonance compatible foot acupoint pressing device. Background Art

[0002] The current mainstream TCM imaging research method is to use magnetic resonance to collect data on acupoint stimulation for medical research. Magnetic materials are generally not allowed to be present during MRI examinations. At present, the mainstream foot acupoint pressers on the market are more or less made of magnetic materials and cannot be used in MRI examinations. Therefore, most of the current MRI imaging research related to acupoint stimulation is analyzed by collecting data after the acupoint stimulation is completed, and it is difficult to collect data during the continuous stimulation of the foot acupoints during the MRI scanning process. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to overcome at least one defect (shortcoming) of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a magnetic resonance compatible plantar acupoint pressing device for solving the problem of difficulty in continuously stimulating plantar acupoints during magnetic resonance scanning.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is a magnetic resonance compatible plantar acupoint presser, comprising a plantar support part, a dorsal foot fixing part, and an acupoint pressing piece, wherein the dorsal foot fixing part is connected to the plantar support part, the plantar support part is provided with a through hole corresponding to the plantar acupoint, the acupoint pressing piece is detachably connected and fixed to the plantar support part through the through hole, and the materials of the plantar support part, the dorsal foot fixing part and the acupoint pressing piece are all non-magnetic materials.

[0005] Through the above technical solution, the acupoint pressing member can be detachably fixed in the through hole of the sole support part, and can press the acupoints in the through hole area. Because all components are made of non-magnetic materials, the sole acupoints can be continuously stimulated during the magnetic resonance scanning process.

[0006] Optionally, the non-magnetic material is plastic, rubber, wood material or fiber.

[0007] The MRI compatible foot acupoint press is made of non-magnetic materials such as plastic, rubber, wood or fiber, and has good wear resistance, and is lightweight and durable.

[0008] Furthermore, the acupoint pressing member includes a pressing rod and a pressing head connected to the pressing rod, and the pressing head passes through the through hole and is detachably connected and fixed to the sole supporting part through the pressing rod.

[0009] The pressing rod passes through the through hole and is fixed on the sole support part, which is used to support and fix the pressing head; the pressing head is on the top of the pressing rod and is used to press the acupuncture points on the sole of the foot.

[0010] Optionally, the pressing head is spherical, hemispherical, arc-shaped, pyramidal or conical.

[0011] The pressing head can be spherical, hemispherical, or arc-shaped. These shapes of pressing heads are evenly stressed and have moderate force, making the acupoints pressed more comfortable. The pressing head can also be pyramidal or conical. The pyramidal or conical shapes can make the pressing deeper and more precise, because the area of ​​the pressing part is smaller, so the acupoints can be pressed better.

[0012] Furthermore, the pressing rod is detachably connected to the pressing head.

[0013] The pressing rod and the pressing head are detachably connected to facilitate daily maintenance. When the pressing head or pressing rod of the acupoint pressing piece needs to be replaced, the worn pressing rod or pressing head can be replaced individually without directly replacing the entire acupoint pressing piece, saving materials. At the same time, different pressing heads can be replaced according to specific pressing needs.

[0014] Furthermore, the pressing heads are provided in plurality, and the end of each pressing head has a different degree of sharpening.

[0015] By equipping multiple pressing heads with different degrees of sharpness, it can meet the use scenarios of different degrees of stimulation of acupoints, making it more convenient and flexible to use.

[0016] Preferably, a thread is provided in the through hole, and the acupoint pressing member is threadedly connected to the through hole.

[0017] The acupoint pressing piece is connected to the through hole through a thread, and the depth of the acupoint pressing piece entering the through hole is adjusted by the number of times the acupoint pressing piece is rotated, thereby flexibly controlling the stimulation intensity of the pressing position.

[0018] Furthermore, a plurality of through holes are arranged at positions corresponding to acupuncture points on the soles of human feet.

[0019] By providing a plurality of through holes, a plurality of acupoints can be pressed separately, thus meeting the need for conducting separate studies on the stimulation of a plurality of acupoints.

[0020] Furthermore, a detachable filler is provided in the through hole or the position of the through hole on the sole supporting part is adjustable.

[0021] By arranging a removable filler in the through hole, the supporting strength of the plantar support part is improved; the position of the same acupoint on the plantar support part is different for the soles of feet of different sizes. In order to take into account the use of soles of different sizes, the position of the through hole on the plantar support part is set to be adjustable.

[0022] Preferably, the through hole is an oblong through hole, an aperture adjustment portion is provided on the oblong through hole, and the aperture adjustment portion is provided with a threaded structure connected to the acupoint pressing piece.

[0023] In order to more accurately and flexibly adjust the position of the acupoint pressing member relative to the acupoints on the sole of the foot, the through hole is set to be an oblong through hole, and the aperture size is adjusted by the aperture adjustment part set on the oblong through hole, so that the aperture adjustment part can be used to adjust the through hole to align with the acupoints on the human body, and further, the threaded mechanism set on the aperture adjustment part can be used to achieve connection with the acupoint pressing member. Furthermore, the aperture adjustment part can be a slidable part set on the oblong through hole, and the aperture of the through hole can be adjusted by sliding and locking in the through hole.

[0024] Preferably, the thickness of the plantar support portion is 2cm-5cm.

[0025] The thickness of the plantar support part is 2cm-5cm, and the plantar support part can provide sufficient support force, and will not lead to insufficient support force of the plantar support part and fail to achieve the desired effect due to insufficient thickness, nor will it lead to unnecessary waste of materials due to excessive thickness. At the same time, because the depth of the through hole is the same as the thickness of the plantar support part, the depth of the through hole of 2cm-5cm also makes it more flexible and convenient to adjust the depth of the acupoint pressing piece in the through hole.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0027] All components are made of non-magnetic materials and are suitable for magnetic resonance imaging. By setting up acupoint pressing pieces to press the acupoints on the soles of the feet, it is convenient to collect data during continuous stimulation of the acupoints on the soles of the feet during magnetic resonance scanning. By setting up oblong through holes, it can adapt to soles of different sizes and flexibly adjust the acupoint pressing pieces to the through hole positions corresponding to the acupoints.

[0034] The drawings of the present invention are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be construed as limiting the present invention. In order to better illustrate the following embodiments, some parts of the drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent the size of the actual product; for those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the drawings may be omitted.

[0035] Example

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a magnetic resonance-compatible plantar acupoint presser according to an embodiment of the utility model comprises a plantar support portion 1, a dorsal foot fixing portion 7, and an acupoint pressing piece 30. The dorsal foot fixing portion 7 is connected to the plantar support portion 1, and the plantar support portion 1 is provided with a through hole 11 corresponding to the plantar acupoint. The acupoint pressing piece 30 passes through the through hole 11 and is detachably connected and fixed to the plantar support portion 1. The materials of the plantar support portion 1, the dorsal foot fixing portion 7 and the acupoint pressing piece 30 are all non-magnetic materials.

[0037] Specifically, the non-magnetic material may be one or more non-magnetic materials such as plastic, rubber, wood material, fiber, etc.

[0038] Specifically, the through hole 11 is provided with an internal thread, and one end of the acupoint pressing piece 30 is provided with an external thread matching the internal thread of the through hole 11. When in use, the acupoint pressing piece 30 is rotated and threadedly connected to the through hole 11, and the depth of entering the through hole 11 is adjusted by the number of rotations, thereby adjusting the intensity of the pressing stimulation of the acupoints in the corresponding area. In specific implementation, a too thin plantar support part 1 will cause the acupoint pressing piece to not be well stabilized in the through hole, affecting the pressing effect; and a too thick plantar support part 1 has a deeper depth of the through hole 11, resulting in more material for the acupoint pressing piece 30, causing unnecessary waste of material. To this end, in specific implementation, the thickness of the plantar support part 1 can be set to 2cm-5cm, that is, the depth of the through hole 11 is 2cm-5cm. The through hole 11 of this size can be used to adjust the depth of the acupoint pressing piece 30 passing through the through hole 11, and the acupoint pressing piece 30 can be fixed by relying on this depth.

[0039] like Figure 6As shown, in a specific embodiment, the through hole 11 can be set as an oblong through hole, and the area where the oblong through hole 11 is opened can be determined according to the area connected by the same acupuncture points of multiple different sizes of the soles of the feet at the positions of the sole support part 1. The oblong through hole 11 is provided with an aperture adjustment part, and the aperture adjustment part is provided with a threaded structure connected to the acupuncture point pressing piece 30. When in use, the aperture size is adjusted by the aperture adjustment part provided on the oblong through hole 11 to adjust the position of the through hole 11 to align with the acupuncture points of the human body, and the acupuncture point pressing piece 30 is connected through the threaded mechanism provided on the aperture adjustment part. Among them, the aperture adjustment part can specifically be a slidable component, for example, the slidable component is a slider mechanism or a slide rail mechanism, etc., which can change the aperture of the oblong through hole 11.

[0040] Furthermore, the acupoint pressing member 30 includes a pressing rod 32 and a pressing head 31. When in use, the pressing rod 32 passes through the through hole 11 and is fixed to the sole support part 1, and the pressing head 31 is used to press the sole acupoints at the upper end of the sole support part 1. The pressing head 31 can have a certain degree of sharpness, for example, it can be set to a spherical shape, a hemispherical shape, an arc shape, a pyramid shape or a cone shape, etc., which can enhance the stimulation effect of acupoint pressing.

[0041] In order to facilitate maintenance of the acupoint pressing member 30, the pressing rod 32 is detachably connected to the pressing head 31. When the pressing head 31 or the pressing rod 32 of the acupoint pressing member 30 is worn, the worn parts can be replaced separately without directly replacing the entire acupoint pressing member 30, saving costs.

[0042] Furthermore, the pressing head 31 is provided in plurality, and the end of each pressing head 31 has a different degree of sharpening. By providing a plurality of pressing heads 31 with different degrees of sharpening, the different stimulation levels of acupoints can be satisfied. For example, the lower the degree of sharpening of the end of the pressing head 31, the weaker the stimulation of the acupoints pressed, and the higher the degree of sharpening of the end of the pressing head 31, the stronger the stimulation of the corresponding acupoints pressed. When in use, only the pressing head 31 with the required degree of sharpening needs to be installed on the pressing rod 32, and replacement is simple and convenient.

[0043] In order to be able to press other acupoints, there can be multiple through holes 11. For example, corresponding through holes 11 can be opened in the areas where Duyin acupoint and Lineting acupoint are located. When there is no need to press the acupoints, the corresponding through holes 11 can be provided with removable fillers, such as rubber that has the same shape as the through hole 11 and is slightly smaller than the hole 11.

[0044] In the example, Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the front and rear sides of the plantar support part are provided with four square holes 6, the dorsal side fixing part 7 is connected to the plantar support part 1 through the four square holes 6, and the dorsal side fixing part 7 includes an adjustment mechanism, and the adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the tightness of the dorsal side fixing part 7. Specifically, the adjustment mechanism includes a first strap 2, a second strap 3 with a buckle 5 at the end, and a buckle 4. When in use, the first strap 2 is fixed around the ankle joint through the buckle 4, and the side buckles 4 are respectively hung on both sides of the ankle joint. The second strap 3 passes through the square holes 6 at the rear ends of both sides of the plantar support part 1, and is fixed to the plantar support part 1 by the buckle 5 at the end of the second strap 3, and is connected and fixed to the buckles 4 on both sides of the ankle joint. The second strap 3 passes through the square holes 6 at the front ends of both sides of the plantar support part 1 and is connected and fixed to the buckles 4 at both sides. The second strap 3 passes through the square holes 6 at the front ends of both sides of the plantar support part 1 and is connected and fixed to the buckle 4 at the middle of the dorsal part.

[0045] During specific use, the user can choose the magnetic resonance-compatible plantar acupoint presser of appropriate size according to the shoe size, fix it through the dorsal fixing part 7, and then pass the acupoint pressing piece 30 from the sole of the user through the through hole 11 on the plantar support part 1. The depth of the acupoint pressing piece 30 being screwed into the through hole 11 can be determined according to the actual stimulation needs. After screwing in, the acupoint pressing piece 30 can be fixed in the through hole 11 with the help of the internal thread of the through hole 11, so that the corresponding acupoints of the user can be continuously stimulated, and then the magnetic resonance scanning can be completed during the stimulation process.

[0046] In specific applications, the acupoints to be stimulated can be selected according to actual stimulation needs, and the through holes 11 corresponding to the required stimulation acupoints can be selected from the multiple through holes 11 on the plantar support part 1, so that the acupoint pressing parts 30 can be installed on one or more through holes 11, so that the magnetic resonance scanning can be completed when one or more acupoints are continuously stimulated.

[0047] Obviously, the above embodiments of the utility model are only examples for clearly explaining the technical solution of the utility model, and are not intended to limit the specific implementation methods of the utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the claims of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.
