Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture technology, specifically an acupuncture positioning device. Background Technology
[0002] Acupuncture and moxibustion are methods of preventing and treating diseases by needling and moxibustion. Needling involves inserting metal needles into specific acupoints on the body and using techniques to regulate the body's vital energy and blood. Moxibustion involves rolling moxa wool into sticks or cones, igniting them, and warming the skin surface of acupoints to achieve the purpose of warming and unblocking the meridians and harmonizing the vital energy and blood.
[0003] Chinese Patent CN211067980U discloses an acupuncture locator, comprising a locator body, a pad, a rubber suction cup, and an anti-slip sleeve. A fixing component is located below the locator body, comprising a connecting block and a rubber suction cup. The rubber suction cup is fixedly connected to the bottom of the locator body via the connecting block. A through hole is formed on the surface of the locator body. This acupuncture locator, by adding a rubber suction cup to the bottom of the locator body, solves the problem of traditional acupuncture locators being difficult to fix on human skin. First, the locator body is gently placed on the skin, aligning the through hole with the acupuncture point. Then, the locator body is pressed down, causing the rubber suction cup to adhere to the skin, thus fixing the acupuncture locator. This effectively prevents shaking during operation. The overall structure is simple and highly practical.
[0004] The existing acupuncture positioning device usually involves the doctor using their fingers to locate the acupoint and pressing the surrounding skin with their hand, while holding the fire needle in their other hand to insert it into the patient's skin. This acupuncture method relies more on the doctor's subjective judgment to control the depth of insertion. However, when beginners first start acupuncture, they are bound to be nervous, which can lead to hand tremors. This will reduce the accuracy of needle insertion and make it difficult to control the depth of insertion, resulting in unsatisfactory treatment results.
[0005] Therefore, an acupuncture positioning device is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technology, this method addresses the problem that doctors typically use their fingers to locate acupoints and press the surrounding skin while inserting the fire needle into the patient's skin with their other hand. This acupuncture method relies heavily on the doctor's subjective judgment to control the depth of insertion. However, beginners are often nervous when they first start acupuncture, which can lead to hand tremors, reduced accuracy in needle insertion, and difficulty in controlling the depth of insertion, resulting in unsatisfactory treatment effects.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: The acupuncture positioning device of this utility model includes a positioning support component, a fire needle fixing control component installed on the side of the positioning support component, and an illumination auxiliary component provided on the outer wall of the positioning support component; the fire needle fixing control component includes a handheld end, a fixed fireproof block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the handheld end, a rotating seat is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the handheld end, and a control rod is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating seat; an anti-slip grip is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the control rod, and the outer wall of the anti-slip grip is integrally provided with protrusions; a control fireproof block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the control rod, and a flexible layer is connected inside the control fireproof block; and a scale is provided on the outer wall of the control fireproof block.
[0008] Preferably, the flexible layer is tightly fitted to both the control fireproof block and the fixed fireproof block, and the control fireproof block forms a rotating structure with the fixed fireproof block through a control rod and a rotating seat.

[0025] 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.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an acupuncture locator includes a positioning support assembly 1, a fire needle fixing control assembly 2 installed on the side of the positioning support assembly 1, and an illumination auxiliary assembly 3 provided on the outer wall of the positioning support assembly 1. The fire needle fixing control assembly 2 includes a handheld end 201, a fixed fireproof block 202, a rotating seat 203, a control rod 204, a non-slip grip 205, a protrusion 206, a control fireproof block 207, a flexible layer 208, and a scale 209. When the fire needle is placed in the flexible layer 208, the exposed length of the fire needle needs to be controlled. The exposed length of the fire needle will be the depth of insertion into the acupoint after the needle is inserted. The flexible layer 208, the control fireproof block 207, and the fixed fireproof block 202 are all tightly fitted together, and the control fireproof block 207 forms a rotating structure with the fixed fireproof block 202 through the control rod 204, the rotating seat 203, and the control fireproof block 202. The raised dots 206 are angled to the outer wall of the anti-slip grip 205, and both the anti-slip grip 205 and the raised dots 206 are made of silicone. A scale 209 is provided on the outer wall of the control fireproof block 207. By placing the fire needle in the groove within the flexible layer 208, the scale on the scale 209 on the outer wall of the control fireproof block 207 can be referenced to control the exposed length of the fire needle. The exposed length of the fire needle will be the depth to which it is inserted into the acupoint after insertion. This facilitates more precise control of the clamping length and exposed length of the fire needle. Then, the control lever 204 is moved, causing it to rotate via the rotating seat 203, thus clamping the fire needle. Because the control fireproof block 207 is provided on the side of the flexible layer 208, it prevents the device from being burned when the fire needle is ignited, thus avoiding damage to the device.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, an acupuncture locator includes a positioning support component 1, comprising a mounting frame 101, a sliding groove 102, a connecting block 103, a fixing block 104, and a locking block 105. This facilitates pre-positioning of the needle insertion location, reducing errors during acupuncture. The fixing fireproof block 202 forms a sliding structure with the mounting frame 101 via the sliding groove 102 and the connecting block 103, and also forms a locking structure with the locking block 105. The fixing block 104 facilitates pre-positioning of the needle insertion location, reducing errors during acupuncture. The locking block 105 on the side of the fixing block 104 can be positioned at the desired needle insertion location. The fixing fireproof block 202, holding the fire needle, can then slide on the mounting frame 101 via the connecting block 103. When the fixing fireproof block 202 slides close to the side of the locking block 105, the acupuncture operation is completed.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, an acupuncture locator with an illumination auxiliary component 3 includes a fixed base 301, a locking screw 302, a rotating ball 303, and an illumination lamp 304. During acupuncture positioning, it provides illumination to facilitate the location of acupoints. The illumination lamp 304 forms a rotating structure with the fixed base 301 via the rotating ball 303, and the rotating ball 303 forms a threaded detachable structure with the fixed base 301 via the locking screw 302. The illumination lamp 304 provides illumination during acupuncture positioning, facilitating the location of acupoints. Furthermore, the angle of the illumination lamp 304 can be adjusted via the rotating ball 303 to meet specific needs. The device is simple, convenient, and easy to use.
[0030] Working principle: First, turn on the switch of the lighting lamp 304 and rotate the lighting lamp 304 within the fixing base 301 via the rotating ball 303 to adjust the angle position of the lighting lamp 304. After the angle position of the lighting lamp 304 is adjusted, rotate the locking screw 302 on the side of the fixing base 301 to fix the angle of the lighting lamp 304. Next, place the fire needle on the flexible layer 208 inside the fixed fireproof block 202. Both the fixed fireproof block 202 and the control fireproof block 207 have scales 209 on their outer walls. At this time, the fire needle can be adjusted according to the scale. Adjust the length of the fire needle clamp according to the required insertion length, then hold the hand end 201 and squeeze the control rod 204. Since the control rod 204 is provided with an anti-slip grip 205 on the side, and multiple protrusions 206 are provided on the anti-slip grip 205, it can provide a certain anti-slip effect to prevent the hand from slipping when squeezing the control rod 204. This causes the control rod 204 to rotate through the rotating seat 203. At this time, it will drive the control fireproof block 207 to come close to the fixed fireproof block 202, thereby clamping and fixing the fire needle in the flexible layer 208.
[0031] Next, because of the fireproof control block 207 and the fireproof fixing block 202, the device can be prevented from being burned by the flame when the fire needle is burned, thus preventing damage to the device. After the fire needle is fixed, the acupuncture point can be determined with the help of the lighting lamp 304. Then, the locking block 105 on the side of the fixing block 104 can be placed close to the acupuncture point. After the acupuncture position is determined, the fireproof fixing block 202 can be slid in the sliding groove 102 in the mounting frame 101 through the connecting block 103. At this time, the fire needle held in the fireproof fixing block 202 and the fireproof control block 207 will be inserted into the acupuncture point.
[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
