Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and more specifically, to an acupoint positioning ruler. Background Art

[0002] Tongshencun is a method of measuring acupuncture points. It comes from Qianjin Yaofang, and refers to using certain parts of the patient's body surface to determine the length unit for measuring acupuncture points. There are mainly two methods: bone measurement and finger measurement. Clinically, the latter is mostly used, such as the middle finger Tongshencun. Because the "one inch" in Tongshencun is different in length on different people, the "one inch" of a taller person is longer than the "one inch" of a shorter person, which is determined by the body proportions. Therefore, Tongshencun is only applicable to individuals. You cannot use your own "Tongshencun" to find acupuncture points on other people's bodies. Doing so will not accurately find the acupuncture points. This results in the need to frequently use the subject's hand as a ruler for Tongshencun when locating acupuncture points using Tongshencun, which is very inconvenient to operate.

[0003] In view of the above problems, there is an urgent need for an acupoint locating ruler that can locate various acupoints on the body through a single measurement. Summary of the invention

[0004] The utility model overcomes the drawback of the existing acupoint locating method that the subject's hand needs to be repeatedly used as a ruler, and provides an acupoint locating ruler which can be used as a substitute for the subject's hand for acupoint locating of the whole body after one measurement.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] An acupoint positioning ruler comprises a frame and an adjusting member, wherein the frame comprises two end plates arranged in parallel, a guide rod and a locking rod fixedly connected to the end plates, the guide rod and the locking rod are parallel, the adjusting member comprises a positioning ring, a locking ear and a locking structure, the positioning ring is sleeved on the guide rod and can slide relative to the guide rod, the locking ear is sleeved on the locking rod and can slide on the locking rod, the locking structure can limit the relative movement of the locking ear and the locking rod, a fixed column is arranged on one end plate, and a movable column parallel to the fixed column is arranged on the adjusting member.

[0007] The frame forms a rigid structure through the two end plates and the guide rod and the locking rod, so that after the measurement is completed, the measurement will not be invalidated due to the external force on the frame. The adjusting piece specifically adjusts the position of the positioning ring on the frame. The positioning ring and the rod body on the locking structure on one side are used as a fixed rod and a movable rod for measuring the object to form a measurement reference. The positioning ring and the locking ear are respectively mounted on the guide rod and the locking rod to limit the rotational freedom of the movable column. The locking structure is then used to limit the displacement freedom of the positioning ring and the movable column connected to the positioning ring in the guide axial direction, so that the spacing between the movable column and the fixed column remains unchanged to obtain a length of "one inch". Through the above structure, the length of "one inch" can be obtained by one measurement, and this unit is used to locate the acupuncture points.

[0008] Preferably, a handle is provided between the two end plates, and the handle is a rigid arc-shaped rod. The handle is used to lift the frame to avoid interference with alignment and measurement. The arc-shaped shape of the handle can reduce the burden on the user and has a better ergonomic effect.

[0009] As an example, the end faces of the fixed column and the movable column are coplanar and parallel to the guide rod or the locking rod. The structure is conducive to leaving a shallow mark for identification against the skin and clothes of the object, and the flat structure will not sting the object.

[0010] Preferably, the locking structure is a locking ring, which is sleeved on the upper rod of the locking rod and is respectively arranged on both sides of the locking ear to limit the movement of the locking ear on the locking rod. The locking structure is locked by the locking ring clamping the two sides of the locking ear and the locking ring itself is in a locked state with the locking rod.

[0011] Preferably, the locking column is provided with threads, the locking ring is a nut, and the locking ring is threadedly connected to the locking column. The locking ring and the locking column are locked by a threaded structure and move in the axial direction of the locking column in a rotating manner.

[0012] Preferably, the locking column is an optical axis, the locking ring is a rubber ring, and the locking ring and the locking column restrict the movement of the locking ear through tension fit. The structure uses the elasticity of the rubber ring to achieve tension-non-tension to achieve the switching of the locking state and the relative movement state.

[0013] Preferably, the movement of the locking ring on the locking rod is not interfered by the guide rod. The posture of the locking rod does not affect its locking or unlocking state, and the structure avoids the device being too highly coupled to make it difficult to use.

[0014] Preferably, the fixed column and the movable column gradually become thinner from the fixed end to the free end through at least one step. The thick section of the fixed column and the movable column is used to clamp the subject's fingers, and the thicker contact area reduces the pressure on the body and brings better comfort; the thinner end leaves a more accurate position of the shallow mark for identification on the subject's skin and clothes.

[0015] Preferably, the surfaces of the fixed column and the movable column facing each other are planes and parallel to each other, which increases the surface area in contact with the finger, reduces the pressure, and brings a better sense of comfort.

[0016] Preferably, the cross-sections of the fixed column and the movable column are symmetrically distributed and the figure formed after splicing is circular or elliptical. The structure brings better ergonomics when pushing from both sides of the fixed column and the movable column to clamp the fingers. Since the fixed column and the movable column are also pushed by hand, the curved surface shape of the fixed column and the movable column has a better sense of comfort.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0018] (1) The movable column is moved to clamp the finger of the object, and then the locking structure is used to position the movable column to complete the measurement, and the length of "one inch" is obtained. Then, the frame is used to measure and locate the acupuncture points on the body of the object, which is convenient to operate;

[0019] (2) The locking structure of the device is simple and easy to operate, which enables the device to be used by subjects of different body shapes, thereby increasing the universal range of use of the device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] Example:

[0035] An acupoint positioning ruler, as shown in the figure, comprises a frame and an adjusting member.

[0036] Ginseng Figure 2 , 3As shown, the frame includes two parallel end plates 1, a guide rod 2 and a locking rod 3 fixedly connected to the end plates 1, and the guide rod 2 and the locking rod 3 are parallel. The guide rod 2 and the locking rod 3 are inserted between the two end plates 1 and the two ends do not extend beyond the end plates 1. The structure forms a rectangular frame. A rigid structure is formed, so that after the measurement is completed, the measurement will not fail due to the external force on the frame.

[0037] Ginseng Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the adjusting member includes a positioning ring 4, a locking ear 5 and a locking structure. The positioning ring 4 is sleeved on the guide rod 2 and can slide relative to the guide rod 2, and the locking ear 5 is sleeved on the locking rod 3 and can slide on the locking rod 3. The positioning ring 4 and the locking ear are sleeved on the guide rod 2 and the locking rod 3 respectively to limit the rotational freedom of the movable column 7, and the positioning ring 4 and the locking ear 5 cannot rotate.

[0038] The locking structure can limit the relative movement of the locking ear 5 and the locking rod 3. A fixed column 6 is provided on one end plate 1, and a movable column 7 parallel to the fixed column 6 is provided on the adjusting member. The finger used as a reference is clamped by the fixed column 6 and the movable column 7 to obtain a specific width of "one foot".

[0039] Specifically, the locking structure realizes the locking function in the form of a locking ring 8: the locking structure is a locking ring 8, which is sleeved on the upper rod of the locking rod 3 and is respectively arranged on both sides of the locking ear 5 to limit the movement of the locking ear 5 on the locking rod 3. The locking of the locking structure is achieved by the locking ring 8 clamping the two side surfaces of the locking ear 5 and being in a locked state with the locking rod 3.

[0040] In some embodiments, the locking column is provided with threads, the locking ring 8 is a nut, and the locking ring 8 is threadedly connected to the locking column. The locking ring 8 and the locking column are locked by the thread structure and move in the axial direction of the locking column in a rotating manner.

[0041] In other embodiments, the locking column is an optical axis, the locking ring 8 is a rubber ring, and the locking ring 8 and the locking column restrict the movement of the locking ear 5 through tension fit. The structure uses the elasticity of the rubber ring to achieve tension-non-tension to achieve the switching of the locking state and the relative movement state.

[0042] It is worth noting that the movement of the locking ring 8 on the locking rod 3 is not interfered by the guide rod 2. The posture of the locking rod 3 does not affect its locking or unlocking state, and the structure avoids the device being too high in coupling and difficult to use. In other words, the lowest point of the locking ring 8 in each posture is higher than the guide rod 2.

[0043] In addition, some embodiments also include: a threaded hole is provided on the locking ear 5 along the radial direction of the locking rod 3, and a locking screw is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. When in use, after the positioning sleeve is moved to a suitable position, the locking screw is turned so that the locking screw extends toward the locking rod 3 and abuts against the locking rod 3 to complete the locking limit.

[0044] The adjusting member adjusts the position of the positioning ring 4 on the frame. The positioning ring 4 and the rod body on the locking structure on one side are used as a fixed rod and a movable rod for measuring the object, forming a measurement reference. The positioning ring 4 and the movable column 7 connected to the positioning ring 4 are then limited by the locking structure to limit the displacement freedom in the guide axial direction, so that the spacing between the movable column 7 and the fixed column 6 remains unchanged to obtain the length of "one inch". Through the above structure, the length of "one inch" can be obtained by one measurement, and this unit is used to locate the acupuncture points.

[0045] Ginseng Figure 6 , 7 As shown, in order to make it easier to use and conform to ergonomics, reduce the burden on the user or the object, and avoid labor injuries. The acupoint positioning ruler also has the following ergonomic designs:

[0046] A handle 9 is provided between the two end plates 1, and the handle 9 is a rigid arc-shaped rod. The handle 9 is used to lift the frame to avoid interference alignment and measurement. The arc-shaped shape of the handle 9 can reduce the burden on the user and has a better ergonomic effect. The end faces of the fixed column 6 and the movable column 7 are coplanar and parallel to the guide rod 2 or the locking rod 3. The structure is conducive to pressing against the skin and clothes of the object to leave a shallow mark for identification, and the flat structure will not sting the object. The fixed column 6 and the movable column 7 gradually become thinner from the fixed end to the free end through at least one step. The fingers of the object are clamped by the thick section 10 of the fixed column 6 and the movable column 7, and the thicker contact area reduces the pressure on the body, bringing a better sense of comfort; the thinner end leaves a more accurate position of the shallow mark for identification on the skin and clothes of the object. The opposite surfaces of the fixed column 6 and the movable column 7 are planes and parallel to each other. The plane increases the surface area in contact with the fingers, reduces the pressure, and brings a better sense of comfort. The cross-sections of the fixed column 6 and the movable column 7 are symmetrically distributed and the figure formed after being assembled is circular or elliptical. The structure brings better ergonomics when pushing from both sides of the fixed column 6 and the movable column 7 to clamp the fingers. Since the fixed column 6 and the movable column 7 are also pushed by hand, the curved surface shape of the fixed column 6 and the movable column 7 has a better sense of comfort.

[0047] The fixed column 6 and the movable column 7 are tapered by steps to form a thick section 10 and a thin section 11. In some embodiments, the cross section of the thin section 11 is rectangular.

[0048] In some further embodiments, the inner side of the arc-shaped handle 9 has a plurality of protrusions and depressions, and the protrusions and depressions complement the shape formed by the palm of a person when making a fist. The ends of the fixed column 6 and the movable column 7 are fixedly connected with elastic rubber blocks. The rubber block can avoid causing a large pressure on the body to bring a bad experience, has better adhesion to the marking paint or powder, and can achieve multiple markings with one paint; the thermal conductivity of the rubber block is poor, and when it touches the skin, the temperature difference is small, which reduces the stimulation caused by contact with the skin.

[0049] During use, if the user uses the human body model as the object:

[0050] Use one hand to hold the handle 9 to move the device, and use the other hand to ensure that the locking structure is in the unlocked state, and push the positioning ring 4 and the movable column 7 away from the end plate 1 where the fixed column 6 is located, so that the fixed column 6 and the movable column 7 are relatively far away from each other;

[0051] Then the detection reference of the object is placed, for example, by hand, between the fixed column 6 and the thick section 10 of the movable column 7;

[0052] Move the positioning ring 4 and the movable column 7 to the thick section 10 of the active column and the fixed column 6 to clamp the aforementioned detection reference; in this process, the movable column 7 and the fixed column 6 should be clamped at the corresponding positions of the middle finger, the thumb or the horizontal finger according to the specific operation needs, so as to obtain a suitable reference width in the subsequent acupoint positioning process;

[0053] Under the premise of keeping the fixed column 6 and the movable column 7 unchanged, adjust the locking structure so that the locking structure is in a locked state;

[0054] Remove the positioning ruler;

[0055] Take the positioning ruler and place the thin section 11 of the ruler against the subject's body to measure and locate the acupuncture point through the fixed column 6 and the movable column 7;

[0056] If necessary, marking powder or pigment is applied to the ends of the movable column 7 and the fixed column 6 to mark the acupuncture points more intuitively.

[0057] The above-described embodiments are only preferred solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. Other variations and modifications are possible without exceeding the technical solutions described in the claims.
