Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an integrated device for positioning and applying ear acupressure points. Background Technology

[0002] Auricular acupressure, also known as auricular herbal acupressure, involves using relatively hard seeds such as Vaccaria segetalis or Cassia tora to press and stimulate acupoints or reaction points on the auricle. Appropriate kneading, pressing, pinching, and pressing are applied to produce stimulating sensations such as soreness, numbness, distension, and pain. Through the conduction of meridians, this method aims to unblock meridians, regulate qi and blood, and prevent and treat diseases.

[0003] Auricular acupressure has a profound cultural heritage and theoretical foundation, is trusted by the public, and is widely applicable, safe with no side effects, easy to operate, and economical, making it popular among patients and medical staff.

[0004] Currently, in clinical practice, a positioning probe is first used to locate the ear, and then tweezers are used to pick up the Vaccaria seed ear patch and place it in the target position. Finally, the ear patch is smoothed with the fingers to prevent it from falling off. However, the following problems have been found in clinical practice: 1. The operator first uses a probe to locate the target acupoint, then puts down the probe, and then uses tweezers to pick up the vaccaria seeds for acupressure. This process can easily lead to forgetting the target acupoint, resulting in a deviation between the location of the vaccaria seeds and the target acupoint, causing inaccurate positioning of the acupressure seeds and affecting the therapeutic effect; 2. After placing the vaccaria seeds, it is necessary to press with the hand. However, some acupoints are uneven or have limited space. Pressing with the hand can lead to uneven pressure, uneven force distribution, and easy displacement of the vaccaria seeds, resulting in poor therapeutic effect of acupressure; 3. One acupressure treatment requires the application of seeds to multiple acupoints, requiring repeated probe location and tweezers to pick up the vaccaria seeds for acupressure, which is time-consuming, inefficient, and affects the patient's medical experience.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide at least one integrated auricular acupressure positioning and application device that improves the accuracy of auricular acupressure point placement. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated device for positioning and applying ear acupressure points to improve the accuracy of ear acupressure point placement.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an integrated auricular acupressure patch positioning and application device, including a cylindrical body, a probe assembly, a turntable, and a pushing assembly. The cylindrical body has a receiving space, and its lower end has an opening communicating with the receiving space. The probe assembly is movably inserted into the receiving space and can extend out of the opening to locate the target auricular acupoint. The turntable is rotatably connected to the cylindrical body and inserted into the receiving space. The turntable can rotate to the outside of the cylindrical body, and its center has a through hole facing the probe assembly. The upper surface of the turntable has an initial adhesion position for temporarily attaching the auricular acupressure patch around the through hole. The pushing assembly is movably and adjustably positioned within the receiving space and above the turntable. By moving and pushing the auricular acupressure patch located at the initial adhesion position, the auricular acupressure patch detaches from the initial adhesion position and extends out of the opening, thus attaching the auricular acupressure patch to the target auricular acupoint.

[0008] Preferably, the probe assembly includes a probe pressing block and a probe body. The probe pressing block is movably disposed at the upper end of the cylinder, and the probe body is disposed within the accommodating space. One end of the probe pressing block is connected to the probe body. By pressing the probe pressing block, the probe body is moved, thereby causing the other end of the probe body to move out of the opening.

[0009] Preferably, the probe assembly further includes a limiting member and an elastic member. The limiting member is fixed to the probe body and located within the accommodating space. The inner sidewall of the cylinder is also provided with a fixing member located below the limiting member. The elastic member abuts between the limiting member and the fixing member. The elastic member is used to drive the probe body to move and retract into the accommodating space.

[0010] Preferably, the cylinder is provided with an inlet communicating with the accommodating space, and the turntable is inserted into the inlet.

[0011] Preferably, the cylinder is provided with a fixed shaft at the position of the inlet, and the side of the turntable is provided with a rotating sleeve, which is rotatably fitted onto the fixed shaft.

[0012] Preferably, the rotating sleeve is provided with an operating handle located on the outside of the cylinder.

[0013] Preferably, the turntable has an elastic structure.

[0014] Preferably, the pushing assembly includes a pushing operation component, a connecting rod, and a pressing component. The pushing operation component is movably disposed on the cylinder. The connecting rod and the pressing component are disposed within the accommodating space. The pushing operation component is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the pressing component. The pressing component is located above the turntable and has an opening for the probe assembly to pass through. By driving the pushing operation component to move, the connecting rod and the pressing component are moved together, causing the pressing component to push the ear acupressure patch, thereby causing the ear acupressure patch to detach from the initial adhesive position and pass through the opening.

[0015] Preferably, the cylinder is provided with a sliding groove communicating with the accommodating space, and the pushing operation member is slidably disposed in the sliding groove.

[0016] Preferably, the pressing member includes a hard part and a soft part from the outside to the inside, and the through hole is formed in the middle of the soft part.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the auricular acupressure patch integrated device of this utility model, by setting up a cylinder, a probe assembly, a turntable, and a pushing assembly, can drive the probe assembly to move so that the probe assembly extends out of the opening, thereby locating the target auricular acupoint. The turntable can be rotated to the outside of the cylinder, so that the auricular acupressure patch can be easily pasted on the initial pasting position of the turntable. After the turntable rotates and inserts into the receiving space, the pushing assembly can move and push the auricular acupressure patch located at the initial pasting position, so that the auricular acupressure patch detaches from the initial pasting position and passes through the opening, thereby pasting the auricular acupressure patch on the target auricular acupoint. Therefore, this utility model's integrated auricular acupressure patch positioning and application device combines the target auricular acupoint location positioning function with the auricular acupressure patch application function. After locating the target auricular acupoint, this utility model's integrated auricular acupressure patch positioning and application device can remain at the corresponding target auricular acupoint location without needing to be removed. At the same time, by using the pushing component to push the auricular acupressure patch on the initial pasting position of the turntable, the auricular acupressure patch can be quickly pasted onto the target auricular acupoint location, greatly improving the accuracy of auricular acupressure patch positioning and ensuring therapeutic efficacy. In addition, it can also improve the work efficiency of medical staff, reduce patient waiting time, and improve the patient's medical experience. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To explain the technical content and structural features of this utility model in detail, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The auricular acupressure and positioning patch integrated device 100 of this utility model includes a cylindrical body 1, a probe assembly 2, a turntable 3, and a pushing assembly 4. The cylindrical body 1 has a receiving space 11, and the lower end of the cylindrical body 1 has an opening 12 communicating with the receiving space 11. The probe assembly 2 is movably inserted into the receiving space 11 and can be movably extended out of the opening 12 to locate the target auricular acupoint. The turntable 3 is rotatably connected to the cylindrical body 1 and inserted into the receiving space 11. The turntable 3 can be rotated to the outside of the cylindrical body 1. The turntable 3 has a through hole 31 in the middle facing the probe assembly 2. The ground surface of the turntable 3 has an initial pasting position 32 around the through hole 31 for temporarily pasting the acupressure patch. The push assembly 4 is movably and adjustablely disposed in the accommodating space 11 and located above the turntable 3. By moving and pushing the acupressure patch located at the initial pasting position 32 by the push assembly 4, the acupressure patch is disengaged from the initial pasting position 32 and passes through the opening 12, so as to paste the acupressure patch onto the target acupoint. The acupressure patch can be made of existing Vaccaria seeds, but is not limited to this.

[0027] The auricular acupressure patch positioning and application integrated device 100 of this utility model consists of a cylindrical body 1, a probe assembly 2, a turntable 3, and a pushing assembly 4. By driving the probe assembly 2 to move, the probe assembly 2 extends out of the opening 12, thereby locating acupoints on the ear. The turntable 3 can be rotated to the outside of the cylindrical body 1, so that the auricular acupressure patch can be easily pasted on the initial pasting position 32 of the turntable 3. After the turntable 3 is rotated and inserted into the receiving space 11, the pushing assembly 4 can move and push the auricular acupressure patch located at the initial pasting position 32, so that the auricular acupressure patch detaches from the initial pasting position 32 and passes through the opening 12, so that the auricular acupressure patch is pasted on the target acupoint.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the probe assembly 2 includes a probe pressing block 21 and a probe body 22. The probe pressing block 21 is movably inserted through the upper end of the cylinder 1, and the probe body 22 is disposed within the accommodating space 11. One end of the probe pressing block 21 is connected to the probe body 22. By pressing the probe pressing block 21, the probe body 22 is moved, thereby causing the other end of the probe body 22 to extend out of the opening 12 to locate the target acupoint. Further, the probe assembly 2 also includes a limiting member 23 and an elastic member 24. The limiting member 23 is fixed on the probe body 22 and located within the accommodating space 11. The inner sidewall of the cylinder 1 is also provided with a fixing member 13 located below the limiting member 23. The elastic member 24 abuts between the limiting member 23 and the fixing member 13, and the elastic member 24 is used to drive the probe body 22 to move back into the accommodating space 11. When the probe pressing block 21 is pressed, the probe body 22 and the limiting member 23 move under the action of the probe pressing block 21. While the probe body 22 moves out of the opening 12, the limiting member 23 squeezes the elastic member 24. After the probe pressing block 21 is released, the probe body 22 and the limiting member 23 can move and reset under the elastic force of the elastic member 24, so that the probe body 22 retracts into the accommodating space 11.

[0029] Please refer to the figure. Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the cylindrical body 1 is provided with an insertion port 14 communicating with the accommodating space 11, and the turntable 3 is inserted into the insertion port 14. Specifically, the cylindrical body 1 is provided with a fixed shaft 15 at the position of the insertion port 14, and the turntable 3 is provided with a rotating sleeve 33 on its side, which is rotatably fitted onto the fixed shaft 15. Further, the rotating sleeve 33 is provided with an operating handle 34 located on the outside of the cylindrical body 1. Medical personnel can drive the operating handle 34 to drive the turntable 3 and the rotating sleeve 33 to rotate relative to the fixed shaft 15, so that the turntable 3 rotates to the outside of the cylindrical body 1 or rotates to be inserted into the insertion port 14, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0030] Please see Figure 4In one embodiment, the turntable 3 has an elastic structure. When the pushing component 4 moves to push the ear acupressure patch located at the initial adhesive position 32, because the turntable 3 has an elastic structure, under the downward pushing force of the pushing component 4, the turntable 3 can bend and deform downward at the position of the initial adhesive position 32. As the pushing component 4 continues to push downward, the ear acupressure patch can be quickly detached from the initial adhesive position 32 and extend out of the opening 12 of the cylinder 1 as the pushing component 4 moves downward, thereby being applied to the target ear acupoint.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the pushing assembly 4 includes a pushing operation member 41, a connecting rod 42, and a pressing member 43. The pushing operation member 41 is movably disposed on the cylinder 1. The connecting rod 42 and the pressing member 43 are disposed within the accommodating space 11. The pushing operation member 41 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 42, and the other end of the connecting rod 42 is fixedly connected to the pressing member 43. The pressing member 43 is located above the turntable 3 and has an opening 433 through which the probe assembly 2 passes. By driving the pushing operation member 41 to move, the connecting rod 42 and the pressing member 43 are moved together, causing the pressing member 43 to push the auricular acupressure patch, thereby causing the auricular acupressure patch to detach from the initial adhesive position 32 and pass through the opening 12. Specifically, the cylinder 1 is provided with a sliding groove 16 communicating with the accommodating space 11, and the pushing operation member 41 is slidably disposed within the sliding groove 16. Furthermore, the pressing member 43 includes a hard part 431 and a soft part 432 from the outside to the inside, and a through hole 31 is formed in the middle of the soft part 432. When the pressing member 43 pushes the acupressure patch, the pressing member 43 can push the acupressure patch to the position of the initial adhesive position 32 of the turntable 3 through its hard part 431, that is, the hard part 431 pushes the acupressure patch to the periphery of the initial adhesive position 32, so that the acupressure patch can be quickly detached from the initial adhesive position 32; the pressing member 43 can push the acupressure patch to the position of the through hole 31 of the turntable 3 through its soft part 432. When the acupressure patch passes through the opening 12 of the tube 1 and is applied to the patient's target acupoint, the acupressure patch can be pressed onto the patient's target acupoint relatively flexibly, avoiding excessive force that may cause injury to the patient. At the same time, it can also be convenient to press and adhere the acupressure patch to uneven surfaces. Furthermore, an elastic element (not shown in the figure) can be provided in the sliding groove 16 along the moving direction of the pushing operation member 41. The elastic element abuts between the pushing operation member 41 and the inner wall of the sliding groove 16. By providing this elastic element, the pushing operation member 41 can be reset after the auricular acupressure patch is applied.

[0032] Combination Figures 1 to 7 The specific working principle of the auricular acupressure bead positioning and patching integrated device 100 of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] Medical staff hold the cylinder 1 and first press the probe pressing block 21 of the probe assembly 2 to move the probe body 22 and the limiting member 23. This causes the lower end of the probe body 22 to pass through the opening of the pressing member 43 and the through hole 31 of the turntable 3, and then extend out of the opening 12 to locate the acupoint on the patient's ear. At the same time, the limiting member 23 compresses the elastic member 24. Afterwards, after releasing the probe pressing block 21, the probe body 22 and the limiting member 23 move back to their original position under the elastic force of the elastic member 24, causing the probe body 22 to retract into the accommodating space 11. Then, the medical staff keeps the cylinder 1 stationary with one hand and drives the operating handle 34 with the other hand to rotate the turntable 3 and rotating sleeve 33 relative to the fixed shaft 15, so that the turntable 3 rotates to the outside of the cylinder 1. The ear acupressure patch is then placed in the initial pasting position 32 of the turntable 3. The operating handle 34 is then driven again to rotate the turntable 3 and rotating sleeve 33 in the opposite direction relative to the fixed shaft 15, so that the turntable 3 rotates and inserts into the insertion port 14 and the receiving space 11. Next, by driving the pushing operating member 41 of the pushing assembly 4 to move, the connecting rod 42 and the pressing member 43 move together, so that the pressing member 43 pushes the ear acupressure patch and passes through the through hole 31 of the turntable 3, thereby causing the ear acupressure patch to detach from the initial pasting position 32 and pass through the opening 12, and then stick the ear acupressure patch to the target ear acupoint. At this time, the ear acupressure of one part is completed. The ear acupressure of other parts is operated in the same way.

[0034] In summary, the auricular acupressure patch positioning and application integrated device 100 of this utility model integrates the positioning function of the target auricular acupoint and the application function of the auricular acupressure patch. After locating the target auricular acupoint, the auricular acupressure patch positioning and application integrated device 100 can remain at the corresponding position without needing to be removed. At the same time, by using the pushing component 4 to push the auricular acupressure patch on the initial pasting position 32 of the turntable 3, the auricular acupressure patch can be quickly pasted onto the target auricular acupoint, which greatly improves the accuracy of the auricular acupressure patch positioning and ensures the therapeutic effect. In addition, it can also improve the work efficiency of medical staff, reduce the waiting time of patients, and improve the patient's medical experience.
