Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, specifically to an acupoint locator for clinical acupuncture treatment in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Background Technology

[0002] In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture is a crucial procedure, but locating acupoints is often challenging for beginners. Acupoints are specific points on the body's meridians. TCM practitioners can treat diseases by stimulating these points through acupuncture, massage, acupressure, or moxibustion. Most acupoints are located in the spaces or depressions between bones, typically at the ends or middle of these spaces, or where large or numerous blood vessels or fluids pass beneath them, such as in the hands and abdomen. Common methods for locating acupoints include the simplified method, the surface landmark method, the finger measurement method, and the bone measurement method. The simplified method involves three sub-methods: touch, grasping, and pressing. This method involves pressing the skin with the pads of the index finger and thumb, observing and feeling the skin and fingertips to locate the acupoint. The surface landmark method, also known as the natural landmark method, uses various anatomical landmarks to determine the location of acupoints. Methods can be divided into fixed landmark acupoint location method and mobile landmark acupoint location method. Fixed landmarks refer to landmarks on the human body that are unaffected by movement and remain stationary, such as nipples and navels. Acupoints are then inferred by comparing distances with the fingers. The cun-degree acupoint location comparison method refers to using certain parts of the patient's body surface to determine the length unit for measuring acupoints. There are mainly two types: bone measurement and finger measurement, with the latter being more commonly used clinically, such as the middle finger body measurement. The middle finger body measurement is the distance between the two transverse creases on the inner side of the middle finger when the middle joint is flexed, which can be used for the vertical measurement of acupoints on the limbs and the horizontal measurement of acupoints on the back. The thumb body measurement is the width of the patient's thumb joint, which is mainly applicable to the vertical measurement of acupoints on the limbs. The horizontal finger body measurement is to have the patient put their index, middle, ring, and little fingers together, and use the transverse crease of the middle joint of the middle finger as the reference point. The horizontal measurement of the four fingers is 3 cun, and the measurement of the index and middle fingers together is 1.5 cun.

[0003] In summary, the current process of using acupoint locators in clinical acupuncture treatment of both traditional Chinese and Western medicine has the following technical problems: due to the different body types of patients, the distance between acupoints varies due to the differences in body types, and the physician's experience is needed to compensate for the deviation in distance. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies, this utility model provides an acupoint locator for clinical acupuncture treatment in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine. By determining the body measurements of patients with different body types, the acupoints can be located using these relative dimensions.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives and effects, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0006] Acupoint locator for clinical acupuncture treatment in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine includes an outer shell, an adjustment section, and a synchronization section. The adjustment section is located within the outer shell and includes a limiting component. The limiting component includes a limiting frame and a fixing frame. The fixing frame is fixedly connected within the outer shell and slidably connected to the limiting frame within the outer shell. A synchronization section is located between the limiting frame and the fixing frame. The synchronization section includes a folding component. The folding component has a lower shaft at its lower bending position, which is slidably connected to the fixing frame. The folding component also has an upper shaft at its upper bending position, which is slidably connected to the limiting frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer shell includes a shell plate, side plates, and side frames. Side plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the shell plate, and a limiting frame is slidably connected between the side plates. A side frame is fixedly connected to the side plate on the side away from the shell plate, and the limiting frame is located inside the outer shell near the side frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the side frame has a side groove on the side away from the limiting frame, and an inner groove on the side frame near the limiting frame. Inner blocks are fixedly connected to both ends of the limiting frame. The inner blocks are trapezoidal in shape and are slidably connected in the inner groove. Side blocks are fixedly connected to the inner blocks and are slidably connected in the side groove. A lever is fixedly connected to the side block on the side plate away from the limiting frame.

[0009] Furthermore, a dial wheel is connected to the dial holder, the dial wheel is threadedly connected to the dial holder, and the dial wheel abuts against the side plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the folding assembly consists of several inclined frames. The leftmost end of the folding assembly is provided with a fixed shaft, which is fixedly connected to the shell plate. The fixed shaft is rotatably connected to the inclined frames, and the inclined frames are rotatably connected to the upper shaft and the lower shaft. The limiting frame has a limiting groove in the middle, and the upper shaft is slidably connected in the limiting groove. The fixed frame has a folding groove in the middle, and the lower shaft is slidably connected in the folding groove. A fixed mark is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixed shaft, and an indicator mark is slidably connected in the folding groove. An attraction block is fixedly connected to the end of the indicator mark near the lower shaft, and the attraction block is attracted to the lower shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, the side frame has a groove at the position of the indicator, and a slider is fixedly connected to the indicator at the position of the groove, and the slider is slidably connected in the groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the lower shaft is made of metal, and the attraction block is made of magnetic material.

[0013] Furthermore, the limiting frame slides within the outer casing in a direction that is closer to or further away from the fixed frame.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] Acupoint locator for clinical acupuncture treatment in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine uses a fixed marker as the zero point. An indicator marker is placed on the lower axis adjacent to the fixed axis. The contact between the dial wheel and the side plate is released, and the dial frame is moved, causing the limiting frame to move the upper axis. This movement of the upper axis causes the folding assembly to extend or retract. All the inclined frames form a folding shape with the same array structure, ensuring that the distance between each lower axis is the same. The distance between the fixed marker and the indicator marker is adjusted to match the distance at the patient's own body position, or adjusted to be equivalent to the length at other patient positions as needed. This distance serves as a reference point. Using existing, unaffected, and fixed markers on the human body as the initial point, this device helps less experienced clinicians locate acupoints.

[0016] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description
