Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning device technology, specifically to a rapid cleaning device for cupping therapy in traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Cupping is a common tool in cupping therapy. It utilizes methods such as burning, suction, and squeezing to expel air from the cup, creating negative pressure that causes the cup to adhere to specific areas of the body (affected areas, acupoints). This produces widespread stimulation, resulting in local congestion or bruising, thus achieving a therapeutic effect of preventing and treating diseases and strengthening the body. Like acupuncture, cupping is a physical therapy, and it is one of the most effective physical therapies. It is also suitable for children. It is also called "cupping." Types include fire cupping and air cupping.

[0003] After using cupping jars, they need to be cleaned. Currently, this is usually done manually. However, manual cleaning of cupping jars requires a lot of time and manpower, and the cleaning efficiency is too low. Furthermore, manual cleaning may not completely remove all dirt and residue, especially when there is a lot of dirt inside the cupping jar. Incomplete cleaning may affect the hygiene and effectiveness of the next use. In addition, the diameter of the cupping jar opening is small, making it difficult for people to reach inside the cupping jar for cleaning. To address the above problems, a rapid cleaning device for traditional Chinese medicine cupping jars is proposed. Utility Model Content

The output end of the second motor 308 passes through the top wall of the first slot 302 and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lifting screw 304. The lifting screw 304 and the guide rod 305 are used.

[0027] Specifically, a guide rod 305 is fixedly connected inside the second slot 303, and a moving block 307 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rod 305. The lifting screw 304 and the guide rod 305 work together to provide precise movement control, ensuring the stability and accuracy of movement. Furthermore, the structure of the lifting screw 304 and the guide rod 305 is relatively simple, and installation and maintenance are relatively easy.

[0028] The clamping assembly 4 includes a connecting plate 401. The left rear end of the connecting plate 401 is fixedly connected to the threaded block 306 via a guide rod. The right rear end of the connecting plate 401 is fixedly connected to the moving block 307 via a guide rod. A mounting plate 408 is fixedly connected to the bottom middle of the rear side of the connecting plate 401. A third motor 409 is fixedly mounted on the left side of the upper surface of the mounting plate 408. A drive gear 410 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor 409. A cylindrical rack 411 is fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting plate 401. The drive gear 410 meshes with the cylindrical rack 411.
