[0002] Acupuncture is to insert needles into the patient's body at certain acupuncture points, and use twisting, lifting and other techniques to achieve the purpose of treatment. During acupuncture treatment, the depth of needle insertion has a great influence on the efficacy. Neither too shallow nor too deep can achieve the ideal treatment effect.

[0003] The prior art discloses a teaching aid, which is mainly composed of a simulated arm model and a specific light source. The simulated arm model is made of a material that feels close to real human skin. The corresponding acupuncture points on the simulated arm model are marked with ink. There is no obvious change in the arm before and after marking. A specific light source is used to illuminate the model to display the acupuncture points. In teaching use, the model can be used for teaching explanations so that students can clearly know the location of each acupoint, and can also be used for teaching assessments. First, let the students select acupoints and acupuncture on the model, and then judge the correctness of the students' operations by irradiating with a specific light source.

[0004] Although the above teaching aids can help students practice the position of needle insertion, they cannot help students practice the depth of needle insertion. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is: in view of the problem that the existing teaching aids cannot help students practice the depth of needle insertion, an acupuncture model and a teaching aid are provided.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, on the one hand, the embodiment of the utility model provides an acupuncture model, including a main body, a piece to be inserted and a detection component, wherein a cavity is provided inside the main body, the cavity has an inner wall, the main body has an outer peripheral surface opposite to the inner wall of the cavity, the outer peripheral surface of the main body has a plurality of acupoint areas, and the inner wall of the cavity is connected with one piece to be inserted corresponding to each acupoint area;

[0008] One end of the detection channel that passes through the second end of the object to be pierced has an opening;

[0009] The detection component is installed in the opening of the detection channel and is used to detect the depth of the needle penetrating into the detection channel.

[0010] Optionally, the piece to be pierced is elastic, and the detection component is snapped into the detection channel. In this embodiment, the main body includes simulated skin, which is preferably made of silicone. The simulated skin has an outer peripheral surface and an inner side surface that are opposite in the thickness direction. The acupoint area is located on the outer peripheral surface of the simulated skin, and the inner side surface of the simulated skin forms a cavity. The acupoint mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine generally refers to a surface. Generally, the area of ​​the acupoint is a circle of 1-3 square centimeters around the acupoint, with a radius of 5-10mm. Making a one-to-one simulated skin by silicone makes it easier for users to bring into the situation. In this embodiment, according to the size of the acupoint area, a piece to be pierced with a detection channel is set in the cavity, wherein the piece to be pierced is preferably integrally formed with the simulated skin, and the piece to be pierced is preferably silicone. The piece to be pierced is set to be elastic, so that the piece to be pierced has a certain contraction ability. At the same time, the cross-sectional area of ​​the entire or partial structure of the detection component is larger than the corresponding cross-sectional area of ​​the detection channel. When the piece to be pierced is installed in the detection channel, the piece to be pierced is snapped at the end of the detection channel away from the simulated skin, which can increase the stability of the connection between the detection component and the piece to be pierced. In this embodiment, the detection channel is preferably a cylindrical channel, and the radius of the cylindrical channel is the same as the radius of the acupuncture point area, and is also preferably 5mm-10mm, so that it can accurately measure whether the medical staff has inserted the needle at the position of the acupuncture point surface.

[0011] Optionally, the detection channel includes a countersunk hole and a through hole, and along the direction from the first end to the second end of the main body, the countersunk hole and the through hole are arranged in sequence and communicated with each other;

[0012] The countersunk hole and the through hole are circular holes, and the aperture of the countersunk hole is larger than the aperture of the through hole. In this embodiment, by setting the countersunk hole and the through hole to have different aperture sizes, a step-shaped contraction structure is formed at the connection between the through hole and the countersunk hole, so that the detection component can be snapped into the contraction structure, so that the detection component is stably connected to the object to be inserted.

[0013] Optionally, the second end of the member to be penetrated has a clamping member, the through hole is provided in the clamping member, a clamping ring is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the detection component, and the clamping ring is installed in the countersunk hole and abuts against the clamping member.

[0014] Optionally, the clamping ring is detachably connected to the detection component; the clamping member is integrally formed with the member to be pierced, or the clamping member is independently arranged and fixedly connected with the member to be pierced.

Generally, the area of ​​an acupoint is a circle of 1 to 3 square centimeters around the acupoint, with a radius of 5 mm to 10 mm. The aperture size of the detection channel of this embodiment is preferably 5 mm to 10 mm, but it is also within the protection scope of this embodiment to set it to other sizes as needed.

[0016] Optionally, the depth of the detection channel is 2mm-25mm. Different acupuncture points require different insertion depths. People with different physiques and different degrees of obesity have different fat thicknesses under the skin, and therefore require different insertion depths. The acupuncture depth for most acupuncture points is 3-6mm, and the acupuncture depth in locations with thicker muscles can reach 15mm-24mm. Multiple acupuncture point areas in this embodiment are all provided with pieces to be inserted, and the depths of the detection channels for the pieces to be inserted corresponding to some acupuncture point areas are the same, while the depths of the detection channels for the pieces to be inserted corresponding to other acupuncture point areas are different from each other.

[0017] Optionally, the detection component includes a distance sensor, a main board and a display screen, wherein the distance sensor is arranged in the opening of the detection channel, the main board is arranged in the cavity, the display screen is located outside the main body, the main board has an input end and an output end, the input end of the main board is electrically connected to the distance sensor, and the output end of the main board is electrically connected to the display screen. A distance sensor, also known as a displacement sensor, is a type of sensor used to sense the distance between it and an object to complete a preset function. It has been widely used in daily life. Its working principle and connection relationship with the main board are both prior art and will not be described here. When the needle is inserted into the detection channel of the object to be inserted corresponding to the acupuncture point area, the distance sensor can sense the needle and output a signal to the main board. The main board receives the signal transmitted by the distance sensor and then displays the depth of the needle insertion on the display screen. The detection component in this embodiment can monitor the depth of the needle inserted into the detection channel in real time, which is more convenient for medical personnel to practice and improve.

[0018] Optionally, a support member is further included, the support member is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the first end of the member to be pierced and connected to the inner wall of the cavity. In this embodiment, the support member plays a limiting supporting role for the member to be pierced, which can prevent the member to be pierced from bending and deforming.

[0019] According to the acupuncture model of this embodiment, the part to be inserted is located in the cavity. When students practice acupuncture, when the needle is inserted into the detection channel, the detection component can detect the depth of the needle inserted into the detection channel, and then can help students judge whether the depth of the needle inserted into the acupoint area is appropriate. In this embodiment, the detection component is arranged at the second end of the detection channel (the end of the part to be inserted away from the inner wall of the cavity), which can prevent the needle from damaging the detection component during the process of inserting the part to be inserted, can enhance the service life of the detection component, and can continuously help students practice the depth of needle insertion. At the same time, the part to be inserted in this embodiment is installed at a position on the inner wall of the cavity opposite to the acupoint area, and can also detect whether acupuncture has penetrated into the detection channel. When the detection component is working normally, when the detection component does not detect the depth of the needle inserted into the detection channel, it can be judged that the student has not pierced the acupoint area.

[0020] On the other hand, an embodiment of the utility model provides a teaching aid, including the above-mentioned acupuncture model. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
