Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of acupoint patch making tools, in particular to an acupoint patch making device. Background Art

[0002] Acupoint patches are based on the theory of meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Medications are formulated into ointments, which are then formed into a medicinal cake and applied to the patch. They can be applied directly to the skin, orifices, acupoints, and affected areas. This is a form of external treatment with Chinese medicine. Acupoint patch therapy is an important component of TCM and is simpler and more practical than internal treatments.

[0003] Since different diseases require different medicines, in order to adapt to the physical conditions of different patients, it is usually necessary to pre-make acupuncture patches manually. In the traditional production process of acupuncture patch cakes, the medicine is first prepared into a medicinal mud, and then a small piece of the medicinal mud is scooped out with a sheet-like object or a small spoon and pasted on the round hole of the acupuncture patch and pressed flat. The medicine cake is pressed unevenly, some large and some small, and it is easy to fall on the adhesive next to it, which easily produces defective products. It is also time-consuming and labor-intensive to sort out, and the production efficiency is very low. In order to solve the technical difficulties encountered in the above-mentioned manual production of acupuncture patches, the utility model provides an acupuncture patch production device.

A finger ring 311 is designed on the cutter 31, and a fixing ring 11 is designed on the medicine mud tube 1. When taking it, the operator uses the thumb to pass through the fixing ring 11, and the thumb and index finger to pick up the medicine mud tube 1, and the other three fingers pass through the finger ring 311. When in use, the three fingers are stretched out to drive the cutter 31 to move along the cutter guide seat 32 to perform cutting or closing operations, which can achieve one-handed hand-held operation, which is more convenient; a tension spring 33 is connected between the cutter 31 and the cutter guide seat 2, which keeps the cutter 31 closed with the medicine mud tube 1 when no force is applied, preventing the medicine mud from being squeezed out; when the medicine mud tube 1 has finished discharging medicine and needs to be cut, the tension of the tension spring 33 can also assist the cutter 31 to move in the closing direction, reducing the resistance of the operating finger and reducing finger fatigue.

[0027] The squeezing mechanism 2 includes a cylinder cover 21, a piston rod 22, and a piston spring 23. The cylinder cover 21 is detachably connected to the top of the medicine mud cylinder 1 via a thread, and the piston rod 22 is connected to the cylinder cover 21 in a lifting and sliding manner. The bottom of the piston rod 22 is provided with a piston 221 that matches and fits the inner wall of the medicine mud cylinder 1. The piston spring 23 is mounted on the piston rod 22 and is located between the piston 221 and the cylinder cover 21. When the cylinder cover 21 is opened, the medicine mud cylinder 1 can be filled with medicine mud. It should be noted that the cutter 31 must be closed to the bottom of the medicine mud cylinder 1 before filling. After the cylinder cover 21 is closed, the piston 221 presses the medicine mud through the elastic force of the piston spring 23, squeezing the medicine mud to the bottom. By controlling the cutter 31 to move horizontally to open the bottom of the medicine mud tube 1, the piston spring 23 drives the piston 221 to press the medicine mud into the circular hole of the acupuncture patch, and then the cutter 31 is controlled to move horizontally to close the bottom of the medicine mud tube 1 again. During the closing process, the medicine mud is cut and flattened, so that the medicine mud in the acupuncture patch is neat, flat and uniform.
