Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture instruments, specifically a clinical acupuncture device for traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Acupuncture is one of the traditional Chinese medicine therapies. It uses thin needles to stimulate specific acupoints along the meridians. By stimulating these acupoints, the flow of Qi is stimulated, making the meridians unobstructed and the flow of Qi and blood normal. Acupuncture has a significant analgesic effect on various pains caused by blocked meridians, such as headaches, neck and shoulder pain, and lower back and leg pain. It can also regulate the flow of Qi and blood in the body and balance Yin and Yang, thereby treating various diseases and symptoms.

[0003] In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), after inserting needles into a patient's body, the retention time for body needles is generally 30 to 40 minutes, while the retention time for scalp needles can be appropriately extended. During this process, if the patient does not pay attention to changing their body position while the needles are in place, causing the needles to touch other places, it may not only cause the needles to bend, but may also deepen the insertion of the needles. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a traditional Chinese medicine clinical acupuncture device to solve the problem of needle bending caused by changes in the patient's body position during the insertion and retention of needles in existing traditional Chinese medicine techniques.

[0024] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0025] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:

[0026] Example 1: This utility model provides a traditional Chinese medicine clinical acupuncture device, including a positioning ring 1, a filiform needle 2 inserted into the positioning ring 1 and into the patient's body, the top wall of the positioning ring 1 is provided with a ring-shaped distribution of mating grooves 3, a protective box 4 is provided in the mating grooves 3, and the protective box 4 covers the filiform needle 2.

[0027] It also includes a fixing component for fixing the positioning ring 1 to human skin. The fixing component includes a support plate 5 and an adhesive bandage 6. The support plate 5 is connected to the outer wall of the positioning ring 1, and the adhesive bandage 6 is adhered to the bottom wall of the support plate 5 on one side and to the human skin on the other side.

[0028] It should be noted that by setting a positioning ring 1 on the outside of the acupuncture needle 2, and connecting the support plate 5 to the positioning ring 1, and having an adhesive bandage 6 at the bottom of the positioning ring 1, the positioning ring 1 is fixed to the human skin by the adhesive bandage 6. After the acupuncture needle 2 passes through the positioning ring 1 and enters the human skin, the protective box 4 is inserted into the matching groove 3 from above to cover the acupuncture needle 2, thereby protecting the acupuncture needle 2 and effectively preventing the needle from bending due to the patient's body position change during acupuncture, thus improving the safety of acupuncture.

[0029] In this embodiment, the positioning ring 1 is made of plastic, and a ring-shaped sponge layer 7 is provided on the bottom surface of the positioning ring 1.

[0030] It should be noted that by setting a sponge layer 7 on the bottom surface of the positioning ring 1, on the one hand, the positioning ring 1 can avoid direct contact with the skin, while the sponge layer 7 can contact the skin, thereby improving comfort. At the same time, the sponge layer 7 has a certain degree of elasticity, which can better fix the positioning ring 1 to the human skin.

[0031] In this embodiment, a magnetic ring 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the mating groove 3, and a magnetic ring 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the protective box 4. When the protective box 4 is inserted into the mating groove 3, the magnetic ring 8 and the magnetic ring 9 attract each other.

[0032] It should be noted that by setting a magnetic ring 8 in the mating groove 3 and a magnetic ring 9 at the bottom of the protective box 4, the magnetic ring 8 and the magnetic ring 9 are mutually attracted. Thus, after the protective box 4 is inserted into the mating groove 3, the magnetic ring 8 and the magnetic ring 9 are attracted together, which increases the stability of the protective box 4 after it is inserted into the mating groove 3 and prevents it from easily falling off.

[0033] In this invention, magnetic ring 8 and magnetic ring 9 are used to improve the stability of the protective box 4 when inserted into the mating groove 3. However, it is not limited to magnetic attraction. It can also be achieved by snap-fit ​​or thread, as long as the protective box 4 and the positioning ring 1 can be detached and connected.

[0034] In this embodiment, the protective box 4 is made of transparent plastic, and the protective box 4 is shaped like a cone with a smaller top and a larger bottom. A timer 10 is provided on the top of the protective box 4.

[0035] It should be noted that by making the protective box 4 a transparent plastic material, after the protective box 4 is placed on the acupuncture needle 2, the state of the acupuncture needle 2 can be observed through the protective box 4 during the acupuncture treatment, thus avoiding the need to pick it up. A timer 10 is set on the protective box 4, which can be turned on after the acupuncture needle 2 is inserted into the skin, so that it will sound after the specified time, thus effectively reminding the medical staff.

[0036] In this embodiment, the support plate 5 is detachably connected to the outer wall of the positioning ring 1, and the number of support plates 5 is not less than two.

[0037] It should be noted that by setting a support plate 5 on the outer wall of the positioning ring 1, it can be adhered to the adhesive bandage 6, providing a position for the adhesive bandage 6 to be pasted on the person. Setting the number of support plates 5 to no less than two increases the contact area between the adhesive bandage 6 and the person, effectively preventing the positioning ring 1 from becoming loose and improving the stability of the positioning ring 1 fixed on the person.

[0038] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the positioning ring 1 is symmetrically provided with placement blocks 11, and the top wall of the placement block 11 is provided with a bearing groove 12, and the bearing groove 12 is provided with a disinfectant cotton ball 13.

[0039] It should be noted that by setting a placement block 11 on the positioning ring 1, and setting a support groove 12 on the top of the placement block 11, and placing a sterile cotton ball 13 in the support groove 12, after the acupuncture needle 2 is removed from the body, the sterile cotton ball 13 in the support groove 12 can be pressed on the patient's acupuncture point. In case of bleeding, the hemostasis can be stopped in time by the sterile cotton ball 13, which is very convenient and quick.

[0040] As can be seen from the above, when acupuncture is needed, the adhesive bandage 6 is first taken out, and one side is attached to the support plate 5 on the outer wall of the positioning ring 1. The positioning ring 1 is then placed at the location where the acupuncture is to be performed. The other side of the adhesive bandage 6 is attached to the patient's skin. A sponge layer 7 is provided on the bottom surface of the positioning ring 1. This avoids direct contact between the positioning ring 1 and the skin, while the sponge layer 7 is in contact with the skin, thus improving comfort. At the same time, the sponge layer 7 has a certain degree of elasticity, which can better fix the positioning ring 1 to the human skin, thereby reducing patient discomfort. In accordance with the procedure, after the acupuncture needles are properly attached, the medical staff inserts the acupuncture needle 2 into the area where the patient needs acupuncture. After insertion, the protective box 4 is placed over the acupuncture needle 2, and the protective box 4 is inserted into the matching groove 3 at the top of the positioning ring 1. The magnetic ring 9 at the bottom of the protective box 4 and the magnetic ring 8 in the matching groove 3 are attracted to each other, thus fixing the protective box 4 in place. If the patient moves during acupuncture, the protective box 4 will be touched instead of the acupuncture needle 2, thus preventing the acupuncture needle 2 from bending and ensuring the normal progress of acupuncture.

[0041] A timer 10 is installed on the top of the protective box 4. The timer 10 can be used to set the acupuncture time. When the time is up, the timer 10 will sound to remind the medical staff to remove the acupuncture needle 2. After the acupuncture needle 2 is removed, if there is bleeding at the needle site, there is a sterile cotton ball 13 placed in advance in the support groove 12. The sterile cotton ball 13 can be directly pressed on the patient's wound to avoid bleeding.

[0042] The embodiments of this utility model are given for the purpose of illustration and description. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the utility model. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this utility model.
