For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0026] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a clip for stimulating ear acupoints includes an ear clip sleeve 1 that matches the shape of the auricle. The ear clip sleeve 1 includes an inner auricle clamping surface 11 and an outer auricle clamping surface 12. A number of stimulating units 3 are provided on the ear clip sleeve (1). Specifically, a number of stimulating units 3 are provided on the inner surface of the inner auricle clamping surface 11 and / or the outer auricle clamping surface 12. The stimulating unit 3 can be a raised point provided on the ear clip sleeve. The position of the raised point is set corresponding to the ear acupoints of the user to be used for stimulating the ear acupoints. The raised point is preferably a circular raised point, and the size of the raised point will not compress the surrounding position of the ear acupoints. An ear clip 2 is connected to the ear clip sleeve 1. The ear clip 2 can easily open the inner auricle clamping surface 11 and the outer auricle clamping surface 12 and be worn on the ear, and firmly clamp the auricle when closed.
[0027] In practical applications, a first torsion spring connecting portion 111 is provided on the outer surface of the inner auricle clamping surface 11, and a second torsion spring connecting portion 121 is provided on the outer surface of the outer auricle clamping surface 12. The ear clip 2 includes a first torsion spring 21, a second torsion spring 22, and a spring pin 23. Both the first torsion spring 21 and the second torsion spring 22 are sleeved on the spring pin 23. The first torsion spring 21 includes a first torsion spring portion 213. First connecting portions 211 and first pressing portions 212 are respectively provided at both ends of the first torsion spring portion 213. The first connecting portion 211 is connected to the first torsion spring connecting portion 111. The second torsion spring 22 includes a second torsion spring portion 223. Second connecting portions 221 and second pressing portions 222 are respectively connected to both ends of the second torsion spring portion 223. The second connecting portion 221 is connected to the second torsion spring connecting portion 121. Both the first torsion spring portion 213 and the second torsion spring portion 223 are sleeved and connected to the spring pin 23. The ear clip 2 is made of a metal material, and both the first torsion spring 21 and the second torsion spring 22 are directly bent and formed from a metal material, which is convenient for controlling the force of the ear clip 2.
[0028] In practical applications, the ear clip cover 1 can have multiple models, which are respectively suitable for the ear sizes of different age groups and ear covers with personalized needs. Therefore, the ear clip cover 1 is suitable for people with personalized needs. The ear clip cover 1 can be made by 3D printing technology. When the ear cover is suitable for people with general needs, the inner ear contour clip surface 11 and the outer ear contour clip surface 12 can be integrally formed by a mold. The stimulation unit 3 can be integrally formed with the inner ear contour clip surface 11 or the outer ear contour clip surface 12, ensuring the stability of the stimulation unit and effectively avoiding the situation of the stimulation unit shifting during use. At the same time, in order to ensure that the ear cover fits the ear better and meet personalized needs, the three-dimensional shape data of the auricle can be collected through optical three-dimensional scanning technology, the ear cover can be designed according to the three-dimensional scanning data, and then integrally formed by a mold or 3D printed according to the design. In practical applications, the stimulation unit 3 is set according to traditional Chinese medicine acupoint theory. The stimulation unit 3 is set at different positions according to the needs of the user. According to the different auricular acupoints required for different effects, the position of the stimulation unit 3 is adjusted correspondingly; if there is a need for weight loss effect, the stimulation unit 3 is set according to the acupoints that need to be stimulated for the weight loss effect. In terms of requirements, the number of stimulation units 3 distributed on the health care type ear cover is relatively large, while the position and number of the stimulation unit 3 of the functional type ear cover are designed according to the function of stimulating the auricular acupoints.
[0029] In practical applications, considering some special needs or aesthetic requirements of users, the shape of the ear cover can be designed diversely. The outer surface of the ear cover includes, but is not limited to, various cartoon shapes such as kitten ears and rabbit ears to meet the personalized needs of different users; however, the inner surface of the ear cover is designed to fit the auricle.
[0030] Advantages of the implementation of the present utility model: By gently pressing the ear clip, the inner ear contour clamping surface and the outer ear contour clamping surface will naturally open, facilitating the user to clamp it on the ear contour. The perfect combination of the ear clip sleeve and the clip not only ensures a firm clamping effect of the ear clip sleeve, but also makes it closely fit the ear contour, providing a comfortable wearing experience. At the same time, the stimulation unit on the inner surface of the ear clip sleeve can accurately press the ear acupoints, stimulating the ear acupoints through physical mechanical stimulation, effectively activating the body's self-regulating function, and thus achieving a significant health care effect. Through the settings of the ear sleeve, ear clip and stimulation unit, it can effectively free the hands and can perform ear acupoint stimulation at any time and place. The operation is simple and easy to master, and it has waterproof performance to ensure stable use in various environments; through the physical mechanical stimulation of the corresponding ear acupoints by the stimulation unit, it can accurately stimulate the corresponding ear acupoints, and then activate the body's self-regulating function to achieve a significant health care effect. The ear sleeve can be set into various cartoon shapes to meet the personalized needs of different users. In order to meet the needs of different people, we have set stimulation units at different positions for different effects. Whether it is for weight loss and body shaping, health conditioning, or improving sleep quality, one can find a suitable stimulation plan; The clip for stimulating the ear acupoints provided by the present utility model can effectively free the hands and can perform ear acupoint stimulation at any time and place. The operation is simple and easy to master, and it has waterproof performance to ensure stable use in various environments.
[0031] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
