Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture point positioning ruler. Background Art

[0002] Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a treasure of the Chinese nation, embodying profound philosophical wisdom and thousands of years of Chinese health and wellness concepts and practical experience. TCM culture boasts a long and unique history. A simple bowl of medicinal soup and a silver needle often produce immediate results, leading TCM to be considered one of the world's most mysterious medical disciplines. As people's living standards continue to improve, the therapeutic benefits of TCM are increasingly being accepted and benefited by more and more people. TCM therapy is inseparable from traditional Chinese medicine practices such as acupuncture (moxa), moxibustion, and massage. Accurate acupoint selection during treatment is crucial for achieving optimal therapeutic results. TCM acupoints are a profound discipline. Massaging or stimulating specific acupoints can stimulate the flow of Qi in the meridians, thereby activating blood circulation, regulating body functions, and dispelling pathogenic factors and strengthening the body's health. Ancient Chinese medicine pioneers developed a method for identifying acupuncture points on the human body. Typically, acupuncture points are located at intervals of 1 cun, 1.5 cun, 2 cun, or 3 cun, using a specific body part as a reference. For example, Tianshu is located 2 cun from the navel, Zhongwan is 4 cun above the navel, and Guanyuan is 3 cun below the navel. While the locations of acupuncture points are the same for everyone, the size and width of each person's fingers vary greatly depending on age, physique, and gender. Therefore, acupuncture point identification relies on the patient's fingers. Therefore, acupuncture point location during physical therapy requires measuring the same inch as the patient's body. Currently, hospital staff and physical therapists typically use cotton swabs to measure, remove the excess, and then locate the acupuncture points. This is not only cumbersome but also wastes resources like cotton swabs. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Figure 2 This is an enlarged schematic diagram of the body measurement label of the present invention.

[0011] In the figure: 1 is the main ruler, 2 is the slide plate cover, 3 is the fixed outer clamping claw, 4 is the movable outer clamping claw, 5 is the marking hole, 6 is the fastening screw, 7 is the same size measurement label, and 8 is the length mark.

[0012] Specific implementation methods: Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture point positioning ruler includes a main ruler 1 and a slide sleeve 2. A fixed external clamping claw 3 is provided at one end of the main ruler 1, and a length mark 8 is provided on the main ruler 1. A movable external clamping claw 4 is provided at one end of the slide sleeve 2, and a marking hole 5 is provided under the slide groove on the end face of the movable external clamping claw 4. The slide sleeve 2 is mounted on the main ruler 1, and a screw hole for installing a fastening screw 6 is provided on the slide sleeve 2. A body measurement label 7 is provided on the panel of the slide sleeve 2 (the width of the thumb joint is one inch; the width of the index finger and middle finger together is 1.5 inches, based on the second horizontal line of the middle finger; the width of the index finger, middle finger and ring finger together is 2 inches, based on the first horizontal line of the middle finger; the width of the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger together is 3 inches, based on the second horizontal line of the middle finger).

[0013] When implementing the present invention, medical staff or physical therapists only need to determine which acupoint is needed according to the actual situation of the patient, and then use the present invention to clamp the fixed outer clamping claw 3 and the movable outer clamping claw 4 on both sides of the patient's corresponding fingers according to the Chinese medicine acupoint diagram to measure the patient's corresponding body inch, and then place the acupoint positioning ruler on the reference point where the acupoint needs to be found, so that the acupoint can be accurately found, and then a marking pen can be passed through the marking hole 5 to mark the human skin, and then acupuncture (moxa) moxibustion or massage can be performed on the acupoint, thereby achieving the ideal physical therapy purpose. For example, Sanyinjiao acupoint is a special acupoint for treating gynecological diseases. It is located three inches above the tip of the medial malleolus. To do this, simply place the fixed outer clamping claw 3 of the acupoint locating ruler on the outside of the patient's index finger. The patient then places their index, middle, ring, and pinky fingers together, with the second transverse line of the middle finger as the reference point. Then, move the slide plate 2 on the main ruler 1 so that the movable outer clamping claw 4 fits the outside of the pinky finger, i.e., three inches above the patient's medial malleolus. Then, tighten the fastening screw 6. Then, align the inner right-angled tip of the fixed outer clamping claw 3 of the acupoint locating ruler upward with the tip of the patient's medial malleolus. Mark the marking hole 5 with a marker to accurately locate the Sanyinjiao acupoint. Acupuncture (moxa) or moxibustion or massage at this acupoint can then be performed to treat and regulate gynecological diseases. For another example, acupuncture (moxa) or massage of Tianshu acupoint can promote intestinal peristalsis, enhance gastric motility, and treat ailments such as constipation, abdominal distension, borborygmus, dysmenorrhea, and nephritis. The Tianshu acupoint is located 2 inches lateral to the anterior midline of the navel in the horizontal plane of the human abdomen. Simply place the fixed outer clamping claw 3 of the acupoint locating ruler on the outside of the patient's index finger, have the patient bring their index, middle, and ring fingers together, with the first transverse line of the middle finger as the standard. Then, move the slide plate 2 on the main ruler 1 so that the movable outer clamping claw 4 fits the outside of the ring finger, i.e., 2 inches on the patient's body. Tighten the fastening screw 6, and then horizontally align the inner right-angled tip of the fixed outer clamping claw 3 of the acupoint locating ruler with the patient's navel. Mark the marking hole 5 with a marker pen to accurately locate the patient's Tianshu acupoint. Acupuncture (moxa) moxibustion or massage at this acupoint can then be performed to treat and regulate constipation, abdominal distension, bowel sounds, dysmenorrhea, nephritis, and other diseases. The utility model can also be used as a T-ruler, has the advantages of reasonable structure, ease of use, accurate positioning, and resource conservation, and can be widely used in hospitals and health and wellness centers.
