Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy technology, and more specifically, to a meridian tapping device for traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation. Background Technology
[0002] Meridian tapping in Traditional Chinese Medicine rehabilitation refers to using tapping tools such as wooden hammers, sticks, or clappers to rhythmically press and tap specific parts of the body with varying degrees of pressure. This method aims to stimulate acupoints and meridians to promote blood circulation, clear the meridians, harmonize qi and blood, and relieve muscle tension and pain, thereby achieving the purpose of fitness and disease prevention.
[0003] In the process of TCM rehabilitation, it is necessary to manually tap the patient's acupoints and meridians with tapping tools. Since there are many acupoints and meridians to be tapped, the user's labor intensity is high. At the same time, the user cannot maintain the same tapping frequency for a long time. When tapping acupoints and meridians, it is easy to tap too fast or too slow, resulting in poor effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a meridian tapping device for traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a meridian tapping device for traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation, comprising a hammer head and a massage ball, wherein the massage ball is located at the bottom of the hammer head, and a first circular plate is fixedly connected to the top of the massage ball. A connecting assembly is provided on the top of the first circular plate, the connecting assembly comprising a second circular plate, a column, a sliding plate, two springs and two sliding rods, and a rotating assembly is provided on the top of the sliding plate. The rotating assembly comprises a motor, a first rotating shaft, a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear, a second rotating shaft and two protrusions. Both the front and rear ends of the second rotating shaft are movably connected to the hammer head through bearings, and the second bevel gear and the two protrusions are fixedly sleeved on the second rotating shaft.
[0006] Furthermore, the motor is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the hammer head, and the end of the motor's output shaft is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft. The top of the first bevel gear is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft, and the first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear.
[0007] Furthermore, a control button is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the hammer head.
[0008] As can be seen, the above technical solution can control the operation of the motor.
[0009] Furthermore, the top and bottom of the column are fixedly connected to the slide plate and the second circular plate, respectively; the top and bottom of the two springs are fixedly connected to the slide plate and the hammer head, respectively; and the bottom of the two sliding rods pass through the two springs and are fixedly connected to the hammer head.
[0010] Furthermore, a pad is fixedly connected to the top of the skateboard.
[0011] As can be seen, the above technical solution can reduce the impact force between the skateboard and the two protrusions, thereby reducing noise generation.
[0012] Furthermore, four bolts are provided on the first circular plate, and the first circular plate and the second circular plate are fixed together by the four bolts.
[0013] As can be seen, the above technical solution facilitates the installation and disassembly of the massage ball.
[0014] Furthermore, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the center of the outer side of the hammer head, and an anti-slip handle is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod.
[0015] It can be seen that the above technical solution is designed to facilitate holding the hammer head.
[0016] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] 1. This utility model involves holding the non-slip handle in the hand, then moving the hammer head to the patient's acupoint. The motor drives the first rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the two protrusions to rotate, thereby driving the massage ball to move up and down repeatedly. This cycle repeats, tapping the patient's acupoints and meridians with the massage ball. There is no need to manually tap acupoints and meridians, which effectively reduces the user's labor intensity. At the same time, the same tapping frequency can be maintained for a long time, resulting in good usage effect.
[0018] 2. This utility model releases the fixation between the first and second circular plates by rotating four bolts in sequence and moving them away from the second circular plate, allowing the massage ball to be disassembled and replaced. The anti-slip handle is then installed on the back of a chair, bed frame, or other locations using bolts. When it is necessary to tap the acupoints and meridians in front of the patient, there is no need for someone else to hold the anti-slip handle; the patient only needs to adjust the position of their own acupoints and meridians. The result is simple and convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0027] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5This embodiment of a meridian tapping device for traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation includes a hammer head 1 and a massage ball 2, with the massage ball 2 located at the bottom of the hammer head 1. A first circular plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the massage ball 2. A connecting component 8 is provided on the top of the first circular plate 6. The connecting component 8 includes a second circular plate 801, a column 802, a sliding plate 803, two springs 804, and two sliding rods 805. A rotating component 9 is provided on the top of the sliding plate 803. The rotating component 9 includes a motor 901, a first rotating shaft 902, a first bevel gear 903, a second bevel gear 904, a second rotating shaft 905, and two protrusions 906. Both the front and rear ends of the second rotating shaft 905 are movably connected to the hammer head 1 through bearings. The second bevel gear 904 and the two protrusions 906 are fixedly sleeved on the second rotating shaft 905.
[0028] Furthermore, the motor 901 is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the hammer head 1, and the output shaft end of the motor 901 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 902. The top of the first bevel gear 903 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 902, and the first bevel gear 903 meshes with the second bevel gear 904. A control button 5 is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the hammer head 1.
[0029] Furthermore, the top and bottom of the column 802 are fixedly connected to the slide plate 803 and the second circular plate 801, respectively; the top and bottom of the two springs 804 are fixedly connected to the slide plate 803 and the hammer head 1, respectively; the bottom of the two sliding rods 805 pass through the two springs 804 and are fixedly connected to the hammer head 1, respectively; and a washer 806 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide plate 803.
[0030] Furthermore, four bolts 7 are provided on the first circular plate 6, and the first circular plate 6 and the second circular plate 801 are fixed together by the four bolts 7. A connecting rod 3 is fixedly connected at the center of the outer side of the hammer head 1, and an anti-slip handle 4 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 3.
[0031] When installing different models of massage balls 2, rotate the four bolts 7 in sequence and move them away from the second circular plate 801 to release the fixation between the first circular plate 6 and the second circular plate 801, allowing the massage ball 2 to be disassembled and replaced, according to the instruction manual attached. Figure 2 It is known that the anti-slip handle 4 has an installation hole at the end away from the connecting rod 3. The anti-slip handle 4 is installed on the back of the seat, the headboard, etc. by bolts 7. When it is necessary to tap the acupoints and meridians in front of the patient, there is no need for others to hold the anti-slip handle 4. The patient only needs to adjust the position of his own acupoints and meridians. The result is simple and convenient to use.
[0032] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows:
[0033] In use, first hold the anti-slip handle 4 in your hand, then move the hammer head 1 to the patient's acupoint. Then, control the motor 901 by pressing the control button 5. The motor 901 drives the first rotating shaft 902 to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 903 to rotate. Since the first bevel gear 903 meshes with the second bevel gear 904, the first bevel gear 903 can drive the second bevel gear 904 to rotate, which in turn drives the second rotating shaft 905 and the two protrusions 906 to rotate. When the two protrusions 906 contact the pad 806, the continued rotation of the two protrusions 906 can drive the pad 806 and the sliding plate 803 to move downwards, thereby driving the column 802 and the second circular plate 805 to rotate. 01 moves downwards, causing the massage ball 2 to move downwards as well. Simultaneously, the slide plate 803 compresses the two springs 804, and the two slide rods 805 limit the deflection of the two springs 804. When the two protrusions 906 move away from the pad 806, the two springs 804 rebound, causing the massage ball 2 to move upwards. This cycle repeats, tapping the patient's acupoints and meridians with the massage ball 2. This eliminates the need for manual tapping of acupoints and meridians, effectively reducing the user's workload. It also allows for maintaining the same tapping frequency over a long period, resulting in good performance. Additionally, the pad 806 reduces the impact force between the slide plate 803 and the two protrusions 906, thus reducing noise.
