Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cupping tools, specifically a cupping clip. Background Technology
[0002] Sha disease was recorded as early as in the ancient book "Fifty-Two Prescriptions". Through clinical experience, it is summarized that it is mainly caused by the invasion of epidemic qi, fierce qi, and foul qi into the body. The body feels the turbid qi of summer heat and dampness, which accumulates in the chest, abdomen and meridians, resulting in various uncomfortable symptoms. The main treatment methods are internal and external treatments. Internal treatment mainly involves taking medicines with the effects of promoting qi and blood circulation, resolving phlegm and eliminating stagnation. External treatment mainly involves methods such as picking sha, releasing sha, scraping sha, moxibustion, pinching sha, massage, Bian stone therapy, and nasal inhalation.
[0003] Located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture experiences heavy summer heat and humidity, making people prone to "sha disease." External treatments for "sha disease" have a broad following among ethnic minorities. Commonly used tools for external treatment of "sha disease" include: narrow-mouthed porcelain bowls, scraping boards (ox or sheep horns), peach or willow branches, Bian stones, bamboo leaves, hemp rope, ramie, hemp thread, cotton yarn, and copper coins. However, since most of these tools are flat or strip-shaped, they can only be used for scraping, not for pinching. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a practical tool suitable for pinching external treatment of "sha disease." Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a gua sha clamp, which aims to solve the technical problem that existing tools mentioned in the background art cannot perform gua sha.
[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution to achieve the above objectives:
[0006] A gua sha clamp includes two gua sha blades that are bent and hinged together, with the bending directions of the two gua sha blades facing each other; each gua sha blade has a rope hole at the top and bottom of its middle position; it also includes an elastic rope that passes through the four rope holes and pulls the two gua sha blades apart in directions opposite to their respective bending directions.
[0007] In the aforementioned gua sha clamp, the elastic cord is threaded through four holes by having its two ends pass through the inside of two holes on one gua sha piece and cross over, then pass through the outside of two holes on another gua sha piece and connect.
[0008] In the aforementioned cupping clamp, the two ends of the elastic rope are fixed by rope buckles.
[0009] In the aforementioned scraping clamp, the two scraping blades are hinged together.
[0010] In the aforementioned scraping clamp, the hinge is connected to the scraping blade via a flat-head bolt.
[0011] In the aforementioned gua sha clamp, the gua sha blade is made of ox horn.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this invention only requires a few fingers to perform the gua sha operation, and the gua sha clamp can automatically reset during the gua sha process through the elastic rope, making it convenient to use. The implementation of this invention only requires a few existing products such as a gua sha blade, hinge, elastic rope, and rope buckle, and has the characteristics of simple structure and low manufacturing cost.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0019] Example 1, a cupping clamp, structure reference Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes two scraping blades 1 that are bent and hinged together, with the bending directions of the two scraping blades 1 facing each other; each of the scraping blades 1 has a rope hole 3 at the top and bottom of its middle position; it also includes an elastic rope 4, which passes through the four rope holes 3 and pulls the two scraping blades 1 apart in the opposite direction to their respective bending directions.
[0020] refer to Figure 3-4 The elastic rope 4 is inserted into the four rope holes 3 by passing the two ends of the elastic rope 4 out from the inside to the outside of the two rope holes 3 of any scraping blade 1, crossing them, and then passing them in from the outside to the inside of the two rope holes 3 of another scraping blade 1 and connecting them.
[0021] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The two ends of the elastic rope 4 are fixed by rope buckles 5. Each rope buckle 5 includes a rope-passing block with a through hole and two adjusting screws. The front end of each adjusting screw can be screwed into the through hole. The elastic rope 4 is passed through the through hole and fixed by the adjusting screws. Loosening the adjusting screws adjusts the tension of the elastic rope 4, and then tightening the adjusting screws again fixes the elastic rope 4. This process is convenient and allows the elastic rope 4 to be adjusted to provide suitable elasticity.
[0022] refer to Figure 1-4 The two scraping blades 1 are hinged together by a hinge 2; the hinge 2 is connected to the scraping blades 1 by a flat-head bolt. The hinge 2 has a simple and durable structure and is easy to install.
[0023] The gua sha blade 1 is made of ox horn. The ox horn gua sha blade 1 has a smooth color, a good feel, and does not generate static electricity.
[0024] When using this gua sha clamp according to the above structure, the operator picks it up from the back with one hand. Specifically, the index and middle fingers pinch the back of one gua sha blade 1, and the thumb pinches the back of the other gua sha blade 1. All three fingers simultaneously apply force inwards, with the direction of force as shown in the reference diagram. Figure 1 As shown by the arrow, rotate the hinge at point 2, causing the front ends of the two scraping blades 1 to gradually approach each other. Refer to the following for the state during the process. Figure 2 Then, the tips of the two scraping blades 1 can be used to "pinch" or "tug" at appropriate locations on the skin to perform external scraping therapy. During the aforementioned action, when the three fingers exert force to bring the two scraping blades 1 closer together, the elastic cord 4 on the back of the scraping blades 1 is stretched simultaneously. After completing one "pinch" or "tug" action, simply relax the three fingers, and with the return and contraction of the elastic cord 4, the two scraping blades 1 will rotate at the hinge 2 and be pulled apart by the elastic cord 4. Then, the next scraping action can be performed following the aforementioned steps.
[0025] In addition, when using this gua sha clamp, professionals can perform "gua sha" treatment on the corresponding points according to the body's meridians to achieve the corresponding therapeutic effect.
[0026] Example 2. A gua sha clamp. This example is based on Example 1, except that the rope buckle 5 does not adopt the structure of Example 1, but is replaced by an existing double-hole rope buckle. In this way, all components of the gua sha clamp are existing and readily available, making the gua sha clamp easy to manufacture and low in cost.
[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
