Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to an ear acupuncture probe with a pressure detection function. Background Art

[0002] Auricular acupoint therapy is a unique external treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine with a long history, reliable efficacy and wide application. Auricular acupoint therapy is to use hard and smooth medicinal seeds or pills to press the auricular acupoints to stimulate the corresponding acupoints. It is easy to operate, non-invasive, highly safe and belongs to natural therapy. Auricular acupoints are connected to the internal organs and meridians of the whole body. The auricle is distributed with many nerves such as the auricular nerve, auriculotemporal nerve, occipital nerve and sympathetic nerve. The auricular acupoints can be stimulated by syndrome differentiation to regulate the balance of internal organs, blood, yin and yang, and prevent and treat diseases. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that the pressing force of ear acupoints currently depends on the operator's hand feeling, and there is no intuitive display, resulting in different pressing forces of acupoints, which may cause some acupoints to be pressed insufficiently and fail to achieve the expected effect.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0005] An ear acupuncture probe with a pressure detection function comprises a rod body, a receiving groove is provided in the rod body near the right side thereof, a guide groove connected to the receiving groove is provided in the rod body at a position located at the central axis, a probe is arranged in the guide groove, a cross section of one end of the probe located in the receiving groove is "T" shaped, and a pressure sensor is arranged in the receiving groove at a position located at the right end of the probe;

[0006] The right end of the rod body is also threadedly connected with a top cover, and a plurality of clamping rings are arranged in the receiving groove at the right side of the pressure sensor;

[0007] The pressure sensor is electrically connected to a battery and a display controller of the peripheral device.

[0008] Furthermore, a power supply compartment with an "H"-shaped cross-section is threadedly connected to the right side of the rod body, and the battery and display controller are installed in the power supply compartment. The top cover is threadedly connected to one end of the power supply compartment away from the rod body.

[0009] Furthermore, a threaded slot hole is provided in the middle of the left end of the probe, and a pressing head is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the threaded hole.

[0010] Furthermore, a storage cap is threadedly connected to the left end of the rod body, a storage bin is arranged inside the storage cap, and the probe passes through the storage cap.

[0011] Working principle and beneficial effects: By using a pressure sensor to provide feedback on the pressing force at the end of the probe, which is directly displayed by a display controller, the operator can read the data intuitively and adjust the next pressing force.

[0019] like Figure 1-4 As shown,

[0020] Example 1

[0021] An ear acupuncture probe with a pressure detection function comprises a rod body 1, a receiving groove 2 is provided in the rod body 1 near the right side thereof, a guide groove connected to the receiving groove 2 is provided in the rod body 1 at a position located at the central axis, a probe 3 is provided in the guide groove, a cross section of one end of the probe 3 located in the receiving groove 2 is "T" shaped, and a pressure sensor 4 is provided in the receiving groove 2 at a position located at the right end of the probe 3;

[0022] The right end of the rod body 1 is also threadedly connected with a top cover 5, and a plurality of clamping rings 6 are arranged in the receiving groove 2 at the right side of the pressure sensor 4;

[0023] The pressure sensor 4 is electrically connected to a battery 7 and a display controller 8 of an external device.

[0024] When the probe tip is pressed, the pressing force is fed back through the pressure sensor 4 and displayed by the display controller 8, so that the operator can read the data intuitively and adjust the pressing force for the next time.

[0025] The pressure control range of this part does not have a fixed value, but is adjusted according to the operator's experience. That is, each medical staff has different experience in acupoint pressing, and the data range is different. This device is only for the operator to better understand the value of his or her own pressure so as to maintain the pressure in subsequent operations.

The top cover 5 is threadedly connected to the end of the power supply compartment 9 away from the rod body 1.

[0027] The peripheral battery 7 and display controller 8 are integrated into the power supply compartment 9, making the overall device more compact and convenient to operate.

[0028] In Example 3, a threaded slot is provided in the middle of the left end of the probe 3, and a pressing head 10 is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the threaded hole. A storage cap 11 is also threadedly connected to the left end of the rod body 1, and a storage bin 12 is arranged in the bin cap 11. The probe 3 passes through the bin cap 11. The detachable pressing head 10 is convenient for replacement, and a spare pressing head 10 can be placed in the storage bin 12.
