Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of warm needle device technology, specifically relating to a warm needle acupuncture device for acupuncture. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, acupuncture is a commonly used treatment method in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) internal medicine. It is a general term encompassing acupuncture and moxibustion. Acupuncture, guided by TCM theory, involves inserting needles (usually filiform needles) into the patient's body at a specific angle, stimulating specific points (acupoints) through techniques such as twisting and lifting, thereby achieving the purpose of treating diseases. According to the latest acupuncture textbooks, there are 361 regular acupoints on the human body. Moxibustion involves burning or fumigating specific acupoints on the body surface using pre-made moxa cones or moxa sticks, using heat stimulation to prevent and treat diseases. In clinical practice of TCM internal medicine, warm needle devices are often used to assist acupuncture treatment; however, existing warm needle devices typically place multiple needles in the same warm needle space and heat them collectively with heating wires. This collective heating method makes it inconvenient to handle the needles. Utility Model Content

[0020] 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.
[0021] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a warm acupuncture device for acupuncture, including a cup body 1. An annular heater 2 is fixedly connected inside the cup body 1 through a mounting block. The annular heater 2 is used to heat the acupuncture needles. A cup lid 11 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the cup body 1. A lifting mechanism 3 is provided inside the cup body 1. The lifting mechanism 3 is used to automatically lift the acupuncture needles inside the cup body 1 upwards. During operation, the annular heater 2 is activated to heat the acupuncture needles. At the same time, the automatic lifting function of the lifting mechanism 3 is used to lift the acupuncture needles one by one and stably from inside the cup body 1, thereby achieving precise heating and convenient use of the acupuncture needles.
[0022] In a further embodiment, refer to Figures 1-3 The upper surface of the cup lid 11 is provided with mounting grooves 111 at equal intervals, and the lower surface of the cup lid 11 is provided with a reserved groove 112, which is connected to the mounting groove 111.
[0023] In this embodiment, the cup lid 11 not only enhances the overall aesthetics of the cup body 1, but also effectively prevents heat loss and improves heating efficiency during the heating process of acupuncture needles.
[0024] In a further embodiment, refer to Figures 2-4 The lifting mechanism 3 includes a movable plate 36 and a protrusion 37. A gear ring 31 is fixedly connected inside the cup body 1. A planetary carrier 32 is rotatably connected inside the cup body 1. The planetary carrier 32 is located at the lower end of the gear ring 31. A planetary gear 33 is rotatably connected at an equal distance to the upper end of the planetary carrier 32. The planetary gear 33 meshes with the gear ring 31. A limiting sleeve 35 is slidably connected inside the planetary gear 33. The limiting sleeve 35 is used to fit and support acupuncture needles. A movable plate 36 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting sleeve 35 located at the upper end of the planetary gear 33. The movable plate 36 is located inside the mounting groove 111 in the cup cover 11 and is slidably connected thereto. A motor is fixedly connected inside the cup body 1. A sun gear 34 is fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the motor. The sun gear 34 meshes with the planetary gear 33. A protrusion 37 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sun gear 34. The protrusion 37 is located inside the reserved groove 112 and is slidably connected thereto. The protrusion 37 cooperates with the movable plate 36.
[0025] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 3 enables automated and precise upward lifting of the acupuncture needles. A motor drives the sun gear 34 to rotate, which meshes with the planetary gears 33, causing them to rotate within the gear ring 31. Since the planetary gears 33 are internally connected to a limiting sleeve 35, which serves to engage and support the acupuncture needles, the needles move with the rotation of the planetary gears 33, thus moving within the annular heater 2 and resulting in more uniform heating. Simultaneously, the rotation of the sun gear 34 moves the protrusion 37. Because the protrusion 37 cooperates with the moving plate 36, when the protrusion 37 abuts against the moving plate 36, the acupuncture needles are lifted one by one, avoiding the inconvenience of manual needle removal and improving the convenience and efficiency of acupuncture treatment.
[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
