Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of acupuncture treatment, in particular to an auxiliary device for acupuncture treatment. Background Art

[0002] Acupuncture, as an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, has a history of thousands of years and still plays an important role in modern medical practice. With the advancement of science and technology, acupuncture treatment has gradually integrated modern technology to improve the accuracy and efficiency of treatment.

[0003] At present, acupuncturists usually do not record or manually record the number of needles applied during acupuncture treatment, which is inefficient and prone to errors. During the needle removal process, if the needles are missed, it may cause problems in the treatment process, such as loss of acupuncture needles, patient discomfort, etc. For this reason, we propose an auxiliary device for acupuncture treatment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an auxiliary device for acupuncture treatment to solve the problems raised by the above-mentioned background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: an auxiliary device for acupuncture treatment, comprising an electroacupuncture instrument body, a counting screen is installed on the top surface of the electroacupuncture instrument body, a single-chip microcomputer is installed inside the electroacupuncture instrument body, and a counting component electrically connected to the single-chip microcomputer in the electroacupuncture instrument body is arranged on the top surface of the electroacupuncture instrument body;

[0006] The counting component includes a mounting plate, a counting control knob, a plus button and a minus button. The mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the electroacupuncture instrument body, the counting control knob is rotatably mounted on the top surface of the mounting plate, the plus button and the minus button are both fixedly mounted on the top surface of the mounting plate, and the counting screen, the counting control knob, the plus button and the minus button are all electrically connected to the single-chip microcomputer in the electroacupuncture instrument body.

[0007] Preferably, a reset button is installed on the top surface of the mounting plate, and the reset button is electrically connected to the single chip microcomputer in the electroacupuncture instrument body.

[0008] Preferably, a connecting plate is rotatably mounted on one side of the electroacupuncture instrument body, a protective cover for covering the mounting plate is fixedly mounted on one side of the connecting plate, and a convex plate is mounted on one side of the protective cover.

[0009] Preferably, a slide groove is provided on one side of the electroacupuncture instrument body, a slider is slidably installed inside the slide groove, one side of the slider is connected to an L-shaped pressure plate through a rod, the L-shaped pressure plate is used to limit the convex plate, and an elastic member is provided on one side of the slider and the inner wall of the slide groove.

[0010] Preferably, the elastic member is a spring, one end of the spring is fixedly mounted on one side of the slider, and the other end of the spring is fixedly mounted on one side of the inner wall of the slide groove.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0012] 1. The auxiliary device for acupuncture treatment displays the number of needles applied through a counting screen when in use. Medical staff can choose to press the plus button after applying the needles, and press the minus button after removing the needles to count the needles. After the treatment, the value displayed on the counting screen must be zero, which means that all the needles have been removed. The counting control knob can also be turned to count when applying or removing the needles. Rotating the counting control knob makes it easy to increase or subtract multiple needles at a time. The number of needles can be counted once after multiple applications or removals, which can avoid frequent counting. The two counting methods can be selected by medical staff to effectively prevent missed needles from being removed, which may cause problems during the treatment process.

[0013] 2. For the auxiliary device for acupuncture treatment, when the acupuncture is completed but the needles have not been removed, the L-shaped pressure plate can be pulled to one side first, and the protective cover can be rotated to cover the mounting plate and the buttons and knobs on the surface of the mounting plate. After the protective cover and the convex plate are pressed on the top surface of the electroacupuncture instrument body, the L-shaped pressure plate is released, and the slider is pushed under the action of the spring to drive the L-shaped pressure plate to reset. The L-shaped pressure plate will block the top of the convex plate, so that the protective cover cannot be rotated. The protective cover protects the buttons and knobs to prevent accidental touching of the buttons and knobs, resulting in errors in the number of needles applied and affecting the counting.
