Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of massage device technology, and in particular to a wrist-type multifunctional Neiguan acupoint stimulator. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) states that stimulating different acupoints can invigorate the body's meridians, thereby promoting blood circulation, regulating bodily functions, and eliminating pathogenic factors while strengthening the body's resistance. Neiguan (PC6) is a commonly used acupoint on the Pericardium Meridian of Hand-Jueyin, and is a preferred acupoint for massage therapy of various diseases. It is effective for diseases of the heart, chest, stomach, and nervous system, and has the functions of calming the mind and soothing the nerves, relieving stagnation and depression, widening the chest and regulating qi, promoting lung function and relieving asthma, alleviating pain, suppressing nausea and vomiting, regulating yin and yang, and tonifying qi and blood, and unblocking meridians. Ischemic heart disease has been a global health problem for many years. Preventing and treating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury is key to preventing and treating ischemic heart disease. Medical literature shows that stimulating Neiguan can prevent and treat myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.

[0003] Traditional Neiguan acupoint massage methods often require manual operation, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also makes it difficult to ensure the accuracy and continuity of the massage; moreover, manual massage can only be performed during off-peak hours, and cannot be performed anytime, anywhere. Therefore, this utility model provides a wrist-type multifunctional Neiguan acupoint stimulator. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a wrist-type multifunctional Neiguan acupoint stimulator, which solves the problem of time-consuming and laborious traditional Neiguan acupoint massage methods.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A wrist-type multifunctional Neiguan acupoint stimulator includes a stimulator body with a fixed wrist strap on the side of the stimulator body; the stimulator body includes a housing with the fixed wrist strap connected to the housing; a massage mechanism is provided on one side of the housing; and a dial is provided on the other side of the housing.

[0007] In this solution, the stimulator is fixed to the patient's wrist with a wristband. The massage mechanism is then placed against the Neiguan acupoint, which is stimulated by the massage mechanism. This design allows for continuous massage anytime and anywhere in daily life, with high accuracy. It eliminates the need for patients to set aside time for massage therapy, saving time and effort.

[0008] Furthermore, the massage mechanism includes a fixed plate, which is fixed to one side of the housing; a central shaft is provided inside the fixed plate, and the bottom of the central shaft passes through the fixed plate and is connected to the drive motor, which is installed inside the housing; a massage inner ring is connected to the top of the central shaft;

[0009] A drive gear is mounted on the central shaft, and a set of planetary gears is meshed around the drive gear; a driven gear ring is meshed around the periphery of the planetary gear set; and a massage outer ring is connected to the top of the driven gear ring.

[0010] In this design, the drive motor rotates the central shaft, which in turn rotates the inner massage ring at its top. Simultaneously, a drive gear fixed on the central shaft rotates synchronously with it. This drive gear then drives the driven gear ring to rotate via a planetary gear set, which in turn drives the outer massage ring to rotate. This design allows the inner and outer massage rings to rotate synchronously to stimulate acupoints, and since they rotate in opposite directions, the stimulation to the acupoint surface is stronger during the massage, resulting in better therapeutic effects.

[0011] Furthermore, the planetary gear set includes three planetary gears, each with a fixed shaft at its center. The bottom of each of the three fixed shafts is fixed to the housing, and the top of each of the three fixed shafts is connected to a limiting ring. The limiting ring is positioned between the inner massage ring and the outer massage ring.

[0012] In this design, three fixed shafts are used to fix the three planetary gears respectively, ensuring that when the drive gear rotates, it drives each planetary gear to rotate around its central fixed shaft, preventing the three planetary gears from rotating circumferentially with the drive gear.

[0013] Furthermore, the three planetary gears are provided with spacer rings, and three circular holes are equally spaced on the spacer rings; the three fixed shafts pass through the three circular holes respectively and are fixed on the spacer rings;

[0014] A heating element is provided at the top of the spacer ring.

[0015] In this design, the spacer ring can limit the spacing between the three fixed shafts to ensure stable operation of the massage mechanism; on the other hand, it can also separate the planetary gear set and the heating component to prevent the planetary gear set from rubbing against the heating component during rotation.

[0016] Furthermore, the heating component includes a ceramic heat sink, which is placed on top of the spacer ring. Both the central shaft and the fixed shaft are provided through holes in the ceramic heat sink. Resistance wires are distributed inside the ceramic heat sink, and the resistance wires are electrically connected to the control circuit located inside the housing.

[0017] In this design, the resistance wire heats the ceramic heat sink, which then distributes the heat evenly to the inner and outer massage rings, achieving the effect of heating the Neiguan acupoint while simultaneously massaging and stimulating it.

[0018] Furthermore, a Type-C charging port is provided on the side of the housing, which is electrically connected to the control circuit.

[0019] Furthermore, several massage beads are fixed on the inner and outer massage rings.

[0020] In this design, massage beads are incorporated to increase friction between the inner and outer massage rings and the skin, thereby enhancing the stimulation effect.

[0021] Furthermore, the fixed wristband includes a left wristband and a right wristband, which are respectively connected to the strap connecting shafts on both sides of the case.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0023] This utility model provides a wrist-type multifunctional Neiguan acupoint stimulator. The stimulator body is fixed to the patient's wrist using left and right wrist straps, ensuring the massage mechanism on one side of the stimulator body is in close contact with the Neiguan acupoint for massage stimulation. This allows patients to massage the acupoint anytime, anywhere, whether walking or sleeping, providing convenient and continuous massage while saving time and effort. The massage mechanism features an inner and outer massage ring with massage beads. During treatment, the inner and outer massage rings rotate in opposite directions, resulting in a better massage effect and stronger stimulation of the acupoint. A ceramic heat sink is designed at the bottom of both the inner and outer massage rings. Heating of the ceramic heat sink by a resistance wire ensures even heat distribution, achieving uniform heating of the acupoint. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The specific embodiments of the present invention are described below to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes are obvious as long as they fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined and determined by the appended claims. All inventions utilizing the concept of the present invention are protected.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a wrist-mounted multifunctional Neiguan acupoint stimulator. This wrist-mounted multifunctional Neiguan acupoint stimulator can be fixed to the patient's wrist, allowing for massage and stimulation of the Neiguan acupoint anytime, anywhere. It is convenient to use and saves time and effort. Specifically, it includes:

[0034] Stimulator body 1 and fixing wristband 2;

[0035] The stimulator body 1 is connected to a fixed wristband 2 on its side, which can fix the stimulator body 1 to the patient's wrist.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the stimulator body 1 includes a housing 11, a dial 12, and a massage mechanism 13; a fixed wristband 2 is connected to the housing 11; a massage mechanism 13 is provided on one side of the housing 11; when the stimulator body 1 is fixed to the patient's wrist, the massage mechanism 13 is in close contact with the Neiguan acupoint on the wrist, and the massage mechanism 13 massages the Neiguan acupoint to achieve the purpose of stimulating the Neiguan acupoint; a dial 12 is provided on the other side of the housing 11.

[0037] like Figure 3As shown, the massage mechanism 13 includes a fixed plate 131, a central shaft 132, a drive motor 133, a massage inner ring 137, a drive gear 134, a driven gear ring 136, a massage outer ring 135, and a planetary gear 141 set. The fixed plate 131 is fixed to one side of the housing 11. The central shaft 132 is provided inside the fixed plate 131. The bottom of the central shaft 132 passes through the fixed plate 131 and is connected to the drive motor 133 for transmission. The drive motor 133 is installed inside the housing 11. The massage inner ring 137 is connected to the top of the central shaft 132. The drive motor 133 drives the central shaft 132 to rotate, and the central shaft 132 drives the massage inner ring 137 at its top to rotate. A drive gear 134 is mounted on the central shaft 132. When the central shaft 132 rotates, the drive gear 134 rotates synchronously with it. A set of planetary gears 141 are meshed around the drive gear 134. A driven gear ring 136 is meshed around the periphery of the planetary gears 141. A massage outer ring 135 is connected to the top of the driven gear ring 136. The drive gear 134 drives the driven gear ring 136 to rotate via the planetary gears 141, which in turn drives the massage outer ring 135 to rotate, providing massage stimulation to the acupoints during rotation. In this design, the inner massage ring 137 and the outer massage ring 135 rotate in opposite directions, resulting in stronger stimulation of the acupoint surface and better therapeutic effects during the massage.

[0038] The planetary gear set 141 includes three planetary gears 141. Each planetary gear 141 has a fixed shaft 142 at its center. The bottom of each of the three fixed shafts 142 is fixed to the housing 11, and the top of each of the three fixed shafts 142 is connected to a limiting ring 143. The limiting ring 143 is located between the inner massage ring 137 and the outer massage ring 135. The three fixed shafts 142 fix the three planetary gears 141 respectively, ensuring that when the drive gear 134 rotates, it drives each planetary gear 141 to rotate around its central fixed shaft 142, preventing the three planetary gears 141 from rotating circumferentially with the drive gear 134.

[0039] Three planetary gears 141 are equipped with spacer rings 144, and three circular holes are equally spaced on the spacer rings 144. Three fixed shafts 142 pass through the three circular holes and are fixed to the spacer rings 144. A heating element is provided on the top of the spacer rings 144. The spacer rings can limit the spacing between the three fixed shafts 142 to ensure the stable operation of the massage mechanism 13. On the other hand, they can also separate the planetary gear set 141 from the heating element to prevent the planetary gear set 141 from rubbing against the heating element during rotation.

[0040] like Figure 4As shown, the heating assembly includes a ceramic heat sink 151 and resistance wires 152. The ceramic heat sink 151 is placed on top of the spacer ring 144, and both the central shaft 132 and the fixed shaft 142 pass through the through holes in the ceramic heat sink 151. Resistance wires 152 are distributed inside the ceramic heat sink 151, and both ends of the resistance wires 152 are electrically connected to a control circuit disposed inside the housing 11. The resistance wires 152 are wound inside the ceramic heat sink 151, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the resistance wire 152 heats the ceramic heat sink 151, which disperses the heat, allowing it to be evenly transferred to the inner massage ring 137 and the outer massage ring 135, thus achieving the effect of heating the Neiguan acupoint while massaging it.

[0041] like Figure 6 As shown, the side of the housing 11 is provided with a Type-C charging interface 111, which is electrically connected to the control circuit. The control circuit includes a microcontroller and a lithium battery, which are electrically connected. The microcontroller is electrically connected to the motor, the resistance wire 152 and the Type-C charging interface 111.

[0042] Several massage beads 138 are fixed on the inner massage ring 137 and the outer massage ring 135. The massage beads 138 can increase the friction between the inner massage ring 137 and the outer massage ring 135 and the skin, thereby enhancing the stimulation effect.

[0043] The fixed wristband 2 includes a left wristband 21 and a right wristband 22, which are respectively connected to the watchband connecting shafts 23 on both sides of the housing 11.

[0044] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0045] When using the wrist-type multifunctional Neiguan acupoint stimulator provided in this embodiment, the stimulator body 1 is fixed to the patient's wrist using the left wrist strap 21 and the right wrist strap 22, so that the massage mechanism 13 on one side of the stimulator body 1 is in close contact with the patient's Neiguan acupoint.

[0046] The drive motor 133 is started, which drives the central shaft 132 to rotate. As the central shaft 132 rotates, the drive gear 134 rotates synchronously. The drive gear 134 drives the driven gear ring 136 to rotate via the planetary gear set 141. The driven gear ring 136 drives the outer massage ring 135 to rotate. The central shaft 132 drives the inner massage ring 137 at its top to rotate. The rotation of the outer massage ring 135 and the inner massage ring 137 stimulates the Neiguan acupoint. During the massage, the resistance wire 152 heats the ceramic heat sink 151, which evenly distributes the heat from the resistance wire 152, providing uniform heating to the patient's acupoints.

[0047] Those skilled in the art will recognize that the embodiments described herein are intended to help the reader understand the principles of this invention, and should be understood that the scope of protection of this invention is not limited to such specific statements and embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various other specific modifications and combinations based on these technical teachings disclosed in this invention without departing from the essence of this invention, and these modifications and combinations are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
