[0002] An electroacupuncture device is a device that outputs an electric current, replacing manual stimulation with electrical stimulation. It is a type of electrical energy output device used in electroacupuncture therapy and acupuncture anesthesia. In the prior art, an electric pulse stimulation device is commonly used to deliver electrical pulses to the ear. Using an ear clip, the device stimulates multiple acupuncture points on the ear with electrical pulses, achieving the desired therapeutic effect.

[0003] Chinese patent application number CN207666982U discloses an electric pulse stimulation ear clip and therapeutic device, relating to the technical field of medical devices. The device comprises a plug, a conductive wire, an ear clip body, a pin, a spring, and a conductive sheet. The ear clip body comprises two upper and lower ear clip plates, the rear ends of which are fixedly connected by a pin. A spring is sleeved on the pin shaft of the upper and lower ear clip plates, acting between the upper and lower ear clip plates to provide snap-fit ​​pressure. The inner surfaces of the front ends of the upper and lower ear clip plates are provided with two corresponding baffles, two protruding posts, and two conductive sheets. One end of the conductive wire is connected to the plug, and the other end of the conductive wire passes through the gap between the baffle and the ear clip body and then connects to the conductive sheet, transmitting an electrical stimulation signal to the conductive sheet. The conductive sheet is annular, with an inner edge of the annular ring forming a circular protrusion perpendicular to the conductive sheet. The electric pulse stimulation ear clip and therapeutic device provided by the utility model improve wearing comfort and electrical conductivity.

[0004] However, the device still has some shortcomings: the ear clip adopts a straight handle design, while the ear itself has an irregular shape. The straight handle structure does not conform to the ear ergonomics, and the acupoints in the deep ear cavity are often not clamped. In addition, the length of the straight handle cannot be adjusted, and the deep ear cavity cannot be reached. The acupoints at the helix position are too shallow and easy to fall off.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] Example 1

[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides an ergonomic conductive ear clip, which includes a lower clamping plate 1, an upper clamping plate 2, a rotating shaft 3, a movable plate 6 and a clamping head 7.

[0023] The lower and upper plates 1 and 2 are rotatably connected via a shaft 3. Anti-slip teeth A are provided on the sides of the lower and upper plates 1 and 2 that face away from each other. A torsion spring 4 is sleeved on the shaft 3 and positioned between the lower and upper plates 1 and 2, with its ends abutting against the lower and upper plates 2, respectively. Slots are provided on the sides of the lower and upper plates 1 and 2 that face each other, with the ends of the torsion spring 4 positioned within the corresponding slots and abutting against their inner walls. Curved plates 5 are also provided on both the lower and upper plates 1 and 2, with their concave surfaces facing each other.

[0024] The movable plate 6 is slidably disposed within the curved plate 5, and a locking member is provided on the curved plate 5 to restrict the sliding movement of the movable plate 6. The locking member includes a locking knob 12, which includes a screw cap and a stud. A chute A501 is provided within the curved plate 5, and a plurality of limit slots 502 are evenly spaced and connected to the chute A501. A chute B503 is provided on the curved plate 5 and connected to the chute A501. A threaded hole 601 is provided on the movable plate 6. The stud passes through the chute A501 and is slidably connected thereto. The stud also passes through the threaded hole 601 and is screwed thereto. The bottom end of the stud is inserted into the limit slot 502 and is slidably connected thereto. The chuck 7 is connected to the outer end of the movable plate 6. A mounting plate 8 is provided on the chuck 7, and an electrode head 9 is provided on the mounting plate 8. A conductive silicone pad 10 is provided on the mounting plate 8, and the conductive silicone pad 10 is provided on the outside of the electrode head 9. A conductive rod 11 is provided in the arc plate 5, and the conductive rod 11 is inserted into the movable plate 6 and electrically connected to the electrode head 9. A plurality of anti-slip teeth B are provided on the arc surface of the screw cap.

[0025] In this embodiment, during actual use, the distance of the clamp 7 is first adjusted according to the depth of the acupuncture point from the edge of the auricle. During adjustment, the knob 12 is rotated to withdraw the stud from the limiting groove 502, and then the movable plate 6 is pulled to the appropriate position. The knob 12 is then rotated in the opposite direction to engage the stud in the corresponding limiting groove 502, thereby locking the movable plate 6. A layer of cotton cloth is then applied to the acupuncture point, and an appropriate amount of concentrated Chinese medicine solution is added to the cotton cloth. The lower clamp 1 and the upper clamp 2 are then pinched together so that their adjacent sides contact each other. At this point, the clamp 7 is opened, and the distance between the conductive silicone pads 10 is maximized. The conductive silicone pads 10 in the ear clip are then inserted into the appropriate position to clamp the acupuncture point. Due to the arc-shaped clamping arms of the ear clip, which are ergonomic, only the conductive silicone pads 10 clamp the ear, while the arc-shaped plate 5 and the movable plate 6 do not clamp the auricle, thereby preventing pain from the auricle. When the device is powered on, the electrical stimulation generated by the electrode head 9 is transmitted to the acupuncture point through the conductive silicone pad 10, thereby achieving the purpose of acupuncture stimulation of the acupuncture point.
