Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of acupoint positioning, and particularly relates to a general-purpose acupoint measurement and positioning ruler. Background Art

[0002] The commonly used acupoint positioning methods can be divided into four types: anatomical landmark positioning method, bone-measurement positioning method, finger cun of the same body positioning method, and simple acupoint-seeking method. Clinically, the above methods are often used in combination according to specific situations.

[0003] Among them, the bone-measurement positioning method refers to a method of using bone joints as landmarks, folding the length between two bone joints into a certain number of fen (a traditional Chinese unit of length), and using this to determine the acupoint position. This assumed length is called bone-measurement, and the unit is cun. The cun in the bone-measurement method is a concept of equal division, that is, the bone-measurement cun numbers of the same part of different people are the same, which is quantitative.

[0004] The above-mentioned size unit has no specific numerical value. The "1 cun" in the "cun of the same body" is of different lengths on different people's bodies; the "1 cun" of a fatter person is longer than that of a thinner person, which is determined by the body proportion. Therefore, the "cun of the same body" is only applicable to an individual and cannot be used to find acupoints on others with one's own "cun of the same body". Clinically, the hands of the doctor and the patient are of different sizes. Even when using the patient's own hand for measurement, there are few cases of coincidence. Although it is relatively convenient and fast to equally divide the acupoint-seeking part by visual and hand measurement and then locate the acupoint, the accuracy of acupoint location is highly correlated with the personal experience of the operator and different on-site conditions. The operation standard is vague, there are many uncertain factors, it is difficult to ensure accurate equal division, and thus the accuracy of acupoint location decreases. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a general-purpose acupoint measurement and positioning ruler to solve the technical problems in the existing devices.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model specifically provides the following technical solution: A general-purpose acupoint measurement and positioning ruler, including a positioning ruler composed of a main ruler and a sub-ruler. The sub-ruler is slidably inserted into the end of the main ruler to adjust the length of the entire positioning ruler. Scale lines are provided on the surfaces of both the main ruler and the sub-ruler.

[0007] A pointer indicating the numerical value of the scale line is slidably connected to the surface of the main ruler, and the pointer can be locked to the surface of the main ruler to lock the position of the pointer.

[0008] As a preferred solution of the utility model, a chute is provided on the surface of one end of the main ruler, the chute extends to the end of the main ruler, a guide rod is fixedly connected along the length direction of the inner cavity of the chute, and a guide cavity for the guide rod to slide is provided in the inner cavity of the sub-ruler.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, a limiting groove is provided on the surface of the main scale. A threaded lead screw is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the limiting groove. A slider that is slidably connected in the limiting groove is threadedly connected to the threaded lead screw. One end of the slider that extends out of the limiting groove is fixedly connected to the indicating needle;

[0010] A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the surface of the main scale. One end of the rotating rod that extends into the inner cavity of the main scale is connected to a main gear. One end of the threaded lead screw that extends out of the limiting groove is connected to a sub-gear that meshes with the main gear.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, through grooves are provided at both ends of the main scale and the sub-scale that are far away from each other for the operator's fingers to insert.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the centers of the two through grooves respectively correspond to and are aligned with the zero scales of the two scale lines.

[0013] The present utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0014] The device uses the main scale to determine the length of one cun of the patient, and uses the data of one cun determined on the main scale as a reference standard to determine the acupoints. It can move the sub-scale to the corresponding position in multiples with the reference standard as the unit, without the need to move the patient's fingers or the doctor's fingers multiple times for comparison and measurement. The acupoint selection is accurate and the operation is convenient.

[0022] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] As Figures 1-3 shown, a general-purpose acupoint measurement and positioning ruler includes a positioning ruler composed of a main scale 1 and an auxiliary scale 2. The auxiliary scale 2 is slidably inserted at the end of the main scale 1 to adjust the length of the entire positioning ruler. Scale lines 3 are provided on the surfaces of both the main scale 1 and the auxiliary scale 2;

[0024] The surface of the main scale 1 is slidably connected with an indicator needle 4 for indicating the value of the scale line 3, and the indicator needle 4 can be locked with the surface of the main scale 1 to lock the position of the indicator needle 4.

[0025] Among them, the main scale 1 mainly measures the length between two bone joints of the patient, that is, the length value indicated by the indicator needle 4 is one cun, that is, the unit cun number. Then, according to the distance between the initially easily judged acupoint and the acupoint to be massaged or acupuncture, the multiple of the unit cun number is determined, and then the auxiliary scale 2 is pulled to make it reach the multiple matching the unit cun number.

[0026] This device uses the main scale to determine the length of one cun of the patient, and uses the data of one cun determined on the main scale as a reference standard to determine the acupoints. It can move the auxiliary scale to the corresponding position in multiples with the reference standard as the unit, without the need to move the patient's fingers or the doctor's fingers multiple times for comparison and measurement. The acupoint selection is accurate and the operation is convenient.

[0027] At the same time, the indicator needle for indicating the length of one cun can be locked on the main scale or unlocked and slid on the main scale, avoiding the movement of the position of the indicator needle during multiple acupoint positioning processes, and ensuring that the data of the length of one cun of the patient does not change during each reference.

[0028] Specifically, as Figure 2As shown in the figure, a sliding groove 5 is provided on one end surface of the main scale 1. The sliding groove 5 extends to the end of the main scale 1. A guiding rod 6 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the sliding groove 5 along its own length direction. A guiding cavity for the sliding of the guiding rod 6 is provided in the inner cavity of the sub-scale 2.

[0029] The arrangement of the guiding rod 6 can ensure the linear sliding of the sub-scale 2.

[0030] Since the main scale 1 can be used to measure the distance between two joints of a patient, and once the distance is determined, it means that the "one-inch" length suitable for this patient can be confirmed. Generally, when a patient undergoes acupuncture or massage, different acupoints are needed, so this "one-inch" data needs to be used multiple times. Therefore, after the position of the indicating needle 4 is determined, it needs to be locked so that the operation can be compared with this "one-inch" data.

[0031] Specifically, as Figures 1-3 shown in the figure, a limiting groove 7 is provided on the surface of the main scale 1. A threaded lead screw 8 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the limiting groove 7. A slider 9 that is slidably connected in the limiting groove 7 is threadedly connected to the threaded lead screw 8. One end of the slider 9 extending out of the limiting groove 7 is fixedly connected to the indicating needle 4;

[0032] A rotating rod 10 is rotatably connected to the surface of the main scale 1. One end of the rotating rod 10 extending into the inner cavity of the main scale 1 is connected to a main gear 11. One end of the threaded lead screw 8 extending out of the limiting groove 7 is connected to a sub-gear 12 that meshes with the main gear 11.

[0033] When the rotating rod 10 rotates, the slider 9 moves, and the indicating needle 4 also moves accordingly. That is, the main scale 1 is brought close to the two joints of the patient, and the specific length is measured through the movement of the indicating needle 4. After the measurement is completed, stop rotating the rotating rod 10, and at this time, the position of the indicating rod is locked.

[0034] Since both the main scale 1 and the sub-scale 2 are in contact with the patient, and the fixation of the main scale 1 and the sub-scale 2 depends on the operator for fixation.

[0035] Specifically, as Figures 1-2 shown in the figure, through grooves 13 are provided at the ends of the main scale 1 and the sub-scale 2 that are away from each other for the insertion of the operator's fingers.

[0036] That is, the operator's fingers are inserted into both of the two through grooves 13. The through groove 13 in the main scale 1 is aligned with an acupoint that is easy to determine in the patient's body, and the other through groove 13 is aligned with the acupoint where the patient needs to be needled or massaged. That is, by pulling the through groove on the sub-scale 2, the adjustment of the length of the positioning scale can be realized.

[0037] Furthermore, as Figures 1-2 shown in the figure, the centers of the two through grooves 13 are respectively aligned with the zero scales of the two scale lines 3.

[0038] This is convenient for reading and can accurately determine the position of the acupoint.

[0039] The above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. The protection scope of the present application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent replacements within the essence and protection scope of the present application, and such modifications or equivalent replacements should also be regarded as falling within the protection scope of the present application.
