Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of medical instruments, and in particular relates to a dual-purpose device for cupping and acupuncture. Background Art

[0002] There are three main types of TCM treatments: acupuncture, massage and cupping. Acupuncture is a unique Chinese method of treating diseases. It is a medical technique of "treating internal diseases externally" and treats systemic diseases through the conduction of meridians and acupoints and the application of certain operating methods. Cupping is a TCM method that uses a cup as a tool and utilizes methods such as burning fire and pumping air to generate negative pressure, which is adsorbed on the body surface, causing local blood stasis, in order to achieve the effects of dredging meridians, promoting qi and blood circulation, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and dispelling wind and cold.

[0003] At present, for a series of diseases such as herniated disc, cervical spondylosis, rheumatism, etc., the combination of acupuncture and cupping has a very good therapeutic effect, which is also called needle cupping. During the operation, the needle needs to be left on the acupuncture point, and then cupping is performed. The needle is covered with a cup and left for 5-10 minutes. After the skin becomes ruddy, congested or stagnant, the cup is removed and the needle is removed. However, this conventional method is very challenging for the medical staff's skills in actual application, such as the depth of needle insertion, especially the degree of heating of the cupping bottle. Once the degree of heating is high, it will produce a greater suction force on the skin, causing pain in the muscles at the acupuncture position. Therefore, a dual-use acupuncture and cupping device that is convenient for needle insertion and can adjust the suction force is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a dual-purpose device for cupping and acupuncture, which is convenient for medical personnel to insert needles and can adjust the suction force during cupping.

[0005] The dual-purpose cupping and acupuncture device comprises a cupping bottle and an acupuncture needle vertically arranged in the cupping bottle, a limiting cylinder is vertically fixed to the inner bottom of the cupping bottle, a sliding plate is arranged in the limiting cylinder and cooperates with the limiting cylinder to slide up and down, a ring-shaped electromagnet for fixing the acupuncture needle is installed at the bottom of the sliding plate, a driving component for driving the acupuncture needle in and out of the cupping bottle is installed at the outer bottom of the cupping bottle, a micro negative pressure pump for sucking out the air in the cupping bottle and an air guide tube for external gas to enter the cupping bottle are installed on the cupping bottle, and a valve is installed on the air guide tube.

[0006] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes two limit plates distributed on the left and right, a fixing rod is vertically arranged between the two limit plates, one end of the fixing rod passes through the bottom of the cupping bottle and is fixed on the sliding plate, the fixing rod and the cupping bottle are in sliding and sealing cooperation, a toggle block is fixed to the other end of the fixing rod, and sliders are fixed to the left and right ends of the toggle block, and the opposite surfaces of the two limit plates are provided with limit grooves for limiting the corresponding sliders to only slide up and down.

[0007] Furthermore, a battery box for providing electric energy is installed at the outer bottom of the cupping bottle, and the battery box is electrically connected to a control switch for controlling the opening and closing of the micro negative pressure pump and a button for controlling the opening and closing of the annular electromagnet.

[0008] Furthermore, the control switch is fixed on the outer bottom of the cupping bottle, and the button is fixed on the top of the toggle block.

[0009] Furthermore, the mouth of the cupping bottle is provided with a sealing gasket for improving the sealing performance.

[0010] Furthermore, the toggle block is in the shape of an arc that is concave downwards.

[0011] Furthermore, the cupping bottle is made of a transparent material.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The utility model can not only adsorb the acupuncture needles through the annular electromagnet when power is on, so that the acupuncture needles move with the movement of the sliding plate, but also release the adsorption of the acupuncture needles by the annular electromagnet when power is off, so that the acupuncture needles are independently retained at the acupuncture points of the patients, thereby avoiding the acupuncture needles from being touched. At the same time, by moving the toggle block up and down, the fixed rod, the sliding plate and the annular electromagnet connected thereto are moved up and down, thereby driving the acupuncture needles to move in and out of the cupping bottle up and down, so as to realize the installation of the acupuncture needles and the needle insertion operation. Moreover, under the limiting action of the limiting cylinder and the sliding groove, the acupuncture needles can only move in a straight line, and there is no need to worry about the occurrence of needle deviation, needle shaking and the like, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the difficulty of needle insertion. Moreover, by controlling the exhaust time of the micro-negative pressure pump and opening the valve to quickly reduce the suction force, the size of the negative pressure suction can be freely adjusted to adapt to different types of patients.

The acupuncture needle 3 is made of stainless steel;

[0022] The inner bottom of the cupping bottle 1 is vertically fixed with a limiting cylinder 2, and a sliding plate 12 is arranged in the limiting cylinder 2 to slide up and down with the limiting cylinder 2. The bottom of the sliding plate 12 is installed with an annular electromagnet 13 for fixing the acupuncture needle 3. The annular electromagnet 13 can not only adsorb the acupuncture needle 3 when the power is on, so that the acupuncture needle 3 moves with the movement of the sliding plate 12, but also release the adsorption of the acupuncture needle 3 by the annular electromagnet 13 when the power is off, so that the acupuncture needle 3 is independently retained at the patient's acupuncture point, thereby preventing the acupuncture needle 3 from being hit, etc. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the annular electromagnet 13 is energized, the annular electromagnet 13 generates magnetic force to adsorb the acupuncture needle 3 onto the inner wall, thereby fixing the acupuncture needle 3;

[0023] The outer bottom of the cupping bottle 1 is provided with two limit plates 10 distributed in the left and right directions, a fixing rod 6 is vertically arranged between the two limit plates 10, one end of the fixing rod 6 passes through the bottom of the cupping bottle 1 and is fixed on the sliding plate 12, the fixing rod 6 and the cupping bottle 1 are in sliding sealing cooperation, a toggle block 9 is fixed to the other end of the fixing rod 6, a slider 7 is fixed to the left and right ends of the toggle block 9, and the opposing surfaces of the two limit plates 10 are provided with limit grooves for limiting the corresponding slider 7 to only slide up and down (the limit plates 10, the fixing rod 6, the toggle block 9 and the slider 7 in this paragraph constitute the whole The driving assembly for driving the acupuncture needle 3 in and out of the cupping bottle 1 may also be an electric push rod in actual application. In this embodiment, the toggle block 9 is moved up and down, so that the fixed rod 6, the sliding plate 12 and the annular electromagnet 13 connected thereto are moved up and down, thereby driving the acupuncture needle 3 in and out of the cupping bottle 1 to achieve the installation and needle insertion of the acupuncture needle 3. Under the limiting action of the limiting cylinder 2 and the slide groove, the acupuncture needle 3 can only move in a straight line, and there is no need to worry about the occurrence of needle deviation, needle shaking, etc., thereby achieving the effect of reducing the difficulty of needle insertion;

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the right side wall of the left limiting plate 10 and the left side wall of the right limiting plate 10 are both provided with a slide groove, the slider 7 on the left side of the toggle block 9 is located in the slide groove of the left limiting plate 10 and slides with it up and down, the slider 7 on the right side of the toggle block 9 is located in the slide groove of the right limiting plate 10 and slides with it up and down, the bottom of the cupping bottle 1 is provided with a through hole for the fixing rod 6 to pass through, and a rubber ring is provided in the through hole, which has a sealing effect and will not prevent the movement of the fixing rod 6, so as to achieve the effect of sliding sealing cooperation, such as the movement of the syringe piston; in actual application of this embodiment, there is a certain friction between the slider 7 and the corresponding slide groove, so that the toggle block 9 can be in a static state in a natural state;

[0025] The cupping bottle 1 is provided with a micro-negative pressure pump 11 for sucking out the air in the cupping bottle 1 and an air guide tube 14 for external gas to enter the cupping bottle 1.
