[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model discloses an acupuncture cupping device for preventing burns, including a cupping body 1. A rubber plug 2 is inserted into the top of the cupping body 1. A round hole adapted to the rubber plug 2 is opened on the top surface of the cupping body 1. Gas inside the cupping body 1 is discharged by inserting and removing the rubber plug 2. A threaded ring 4 is provided on the outer side of the cupping body 1 near the bottom. A threaded sleeve 5 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded ring 4. A rubber sleeve 6 is provided at the bottom of the cupping body 1. The bottom end of the threaded sleeve 5 is fitted with the top end of the rubber sleeve 6. By manually rotating the threaded sleeve 5, it moves downward along the outer side of the threaded ring 4. The bottom end of the threaded sleeve 5 will squeeze the top end of the rubber sleeve 6. Since the rubber sleeve 6 has a certain degree of contractility, the bottom end of the threaded sleeve 5 squeezes the mounting hole 16, so that the bottom of the rubber sleeve 6 fits tightly with the skin, ensuring the sealing of the inside of the cupping body 1. When the alcohol lamp wick 13 inside the cupping body 1 is lit, the internal pressure is reduced, thereby realizing cupping.

[0025] A suction tube 8 is suspended at the top center of the canister 1. An igniter 7 is installed on the outside of the canister 1, with one end of the igniter 7 located inside the canister 1. A combustion assembly is movably installed in the middle of the suction tube 8, with a pressure plate 3 at one end of the combustion assembly. The igniter 7 is vertically positioned to the combustion assembly. A rebound assembly is installed at the end of the suction tube 8 inside the canister 1, with an acupuncture needle at the bottom of the rebound assembly. The ignition end of the igniter 7 is located below the combustion assembly and is horizontally positioned. The maximum descent distance of the alcohol lamp wick 13 in the combustion assembly is five centimeters.

[0026] The practical application of the acupuncture cupping device can be achieved through the following operation: First, insert and seal the rubber plug 2 into the round hole at the top of the cup body 1. Then, place the cup body 1 vertically on the skin surface. Next, manually rotate the threaded sleeve 5 to move it downwards along the outer side of the threaded ring 4. The bottom end of the threaded sleeve 5 will squeeze the top of the rubber ring 6. Since the rubber ring 6 has a certain degree of contractility, the bottom end of the threaded sleeve 5 will squeeze the mounting hole 16, thereby making the bottom of the rubber ring 6 fit tightly against the skin, ensuring the sealing of the inside of the cup body 1. Then, press the pressure plate 3 with your palm to move the long rod 9 downwards to... The combustion component is released, and the alcohol wick 13 in the combustion component is ignited by the igniter 7 to achieve cupping. By releasing the pressure plate 3, one hand manually pulls the pressure plate 3 upward to assist the combustion component in extinguishing, while the other hand firmly holds the canister 1 to ensure its stability. After the alcohol wick 13 in the combustion component is extinguished, the combustion component can be lowered again by pressing the pressure plate 3. At this time, the acupuncture needles at the bottom of the tray 12 in the combustion component can be used for acupuncture. When it is necessary to remove the canister 1, the rubber plug 2 at the top of the canister 1 is pulled out to release the gas, thus completing the removal of the canister 1.

[0027] Specifically, the combustion assembly includes a long rod 9, a cylindrical sealing plug 11, a circular through hole 10, and an alcohol wick 13. The circular through hole 10 is located in the middle of the suction cylinder 8. The long rod 9 is inserted into the middle of the circular through hole 10. The cylindrical sealing plug 11 is fixedly installed on the outside of the long rod 9 and inserted into the circular through hole 10. The alcohol wick 13 is sleeved on the outside of the long rod 9. The combustion assembly is used in conjunction with the rebound assembly.

[0028] In this embodiment, a long rod 9 is used to install the alcohol lamp wick 13. The alcohol lamp wick 13 is sleeved through one end of the long rod 9. A through hole is opened in the middle of the alcohol lamp wick 13, which allows it to be sleeved with the long rod 9. A cylindrical sealing plug 11 is set on the outside of the long rod 9 to seal the circular through hole 10. When the palm presses the pressure plate 3 to move the long rod 9 downward along the circular through hole 10, the cylindrical sealing plug 11 will seal the circular through hole 10, forming a sealed space to prevent outside air from entering.

[0029] Specifically, the rebound assembly includes a mounting hole 16, a spring post 14, and a tray 12. The mounting hole 16 is located in the middle of the tube 8. One end of the spring post 14 is fixedly connected to the inner top of the mounting hole 16, and the other end of the spring post 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the tray 12. The diameter of the tray 12 is larger than the diameter of the circular through hole 10. The acupuncture needle is located at the center of the bottom end of the tray 12.

[0030] The alcohol wick 13, which is sleeved on the outside of the long rod 9, is cylindrical. The bottom end of the long rod 9 has a threaded hole. The size of the alcohol wick 13 is adapted to the circular through hole 10. The top of the tray 12 is provided with a threaded post. The threaded post is connected to the bottom end of the pressure plate 3 by thread to realize the replacement of the long rod 9 and the alcohol wick 13. The alcohol wick 13 absorbs liquid alcohol.

[0031] In this embodiment, the spring post 14 is installed by setting the mounting hole 16. The tray 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the spring post 14. The tray 12 seals the bottom end of the circular through hole 10 and also extinguishes the lit alcohol wick 13. The threaded post on the tray 12 is used to cooperate with the threaded hole at the bottom of the long rod 9. The long rod 9 and the alcohol wick 13 can be disassembled and replaced by rotating the pressure plate 3.

[0032] When the palm presses down on the pressure plate 3, causing the long rod 9 to move downwards along the circular through hole 10, the long rod 9 will also cause the alcohol wick 13 and the tray 12 to move downwards together. At this time, the alcohol wick 13 will protrude from the circular through hole 10. As the pressure on the pressure plate 3 increases, more of the alcohol wick 13 will protrude. Therefore, pressing the igniter will ignite the alcohol wick 13, thus achieving cupping. When the pressure plate 3 is pressed to its maximum position, the acupuncture needles at the bottom of the tray 12 will perform acupuncture on the skin. When the tray 12 separates from the bottom of the suction tube 8, the long rod 9 will then... The cylindrical sealing plug 11 on the outside of the rod 9 enters the inner wall of the circular through hole 10, forming a closed environment. The spring column 14 connected to the tray 12 extends out from the mounting hole 16 and stores a certain amount of elastic potential energy. When it is necessary to extinguish the alcohol wick 13, the long rod 9, the alcohol wick 13 and the tray 12 are manually pulled upward by pulling the pressure plate 3 to reset to the circular through hole 10 and the mounting hole 16 respectively. At this time, the alcohol wick 13 enters the interior of the circular through hole 10, and the tray 12 seals the bottom end of the tube 8, thereby completing the extinguishing of the alcohol wick 13.

[0033] Specifically, the spring post 14 consists of a spring and a metal rod, wherein the spring is fixedly connected to the end face of the metal rod, and the size of the metal rod is adapted to the mounting hole 16.

[0034] In this embodiment, a spring post 14 is provided to connect with the tray 12 and to stretch and reset the tray 12, thereby controlling the extinguishing state of the alcohol lamp wick 13.
