Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, specifically to a plum blossom needle for digestive system detection. Background Technology

[0002] Plum blossom needle therapy is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment tool that primarily stimulates the skin surface to regulate qi and blood, activate meridians, promote blood circulation, and adjust bodily functions. For digestive system diseases, stimulating acupoints related to the gastrointestinal tract, such as Zhongwan and Zusanli, can improve digestive function and relieve symptoms such as stomach pain, constipation, or diarrhea. Furthermore, based on current clinical experience in traditional Chinese medicine, combining physical therapy with Western medicine examinations using instruments can yield better diagnostic results, thus providing a basis for the early diagnosis of patients' conditions.

[0003] However, the plum blossom needle currently used in clinical practice has a relatively simple structure. It generally achieves the therapeutic effect by manually tapping acupoints repeatedly. This is not only time-consuming and laborious but also highly dependent on the doctor's clinical experience. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a portable device that can automatically administer acupuncture treatment. Utility Model Content

[0044] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0045] Please refer to this as well. Figures 1-8 The digestive system detection plum blossom needle disclosed in this utility model includes a driving device 1, an energy storage component 2, a needle 4, and a regulator 5. The energy storage component 2 can be charged by an external power source, and the head end of the driving device 1 is connected to the energy storage component 2, thereby providing power to the driving device 1.

[0046] In this embodiment, the driving device 1 includes a housing 11, an iron core coil 12, and a return spring 13. The housing 11 is conductive, and the iron core coil 12 has a pair of protrusions 15 on both sides, which are adapted to form a circuit with the energy storage component 2 through the pair of protrusions 15. When the iron core coil 12 is conductive, it generates an induced magnetic field. The iron core coil 12 is installed at the tail end of the housing 11, and on the other hand, a permanent magnet 14 is installed at the head end of the housing 11. When the iron core coil 12 generates an induced magnetic field, a magnetic force is generated between the permanent magnet 14 and the iron core coil 12, pushing the iron core coil 12 to slide along the length direction of the housing 11. In addition, a return spring 13 is provided between the iron core coil 12 and the housing 11. The head end of the return spring 13 is connected to the iron core coil 12, and the tail end abuts against the housing 11.

[0047] Based on the previous embodiment, one end of the connector 3 is connected to the iron core coil 12, and the other end of the connector 3 is threadedly connected to the needle 4. An adjuster 5 is rotatably provided at the tail of the drive device 1. The needle 4 is slidably provided in the adjuster 5 and is adapted to drive the needle 4 to rotate so that the needle 4 extends out from the front end of the adjuster 5. The adjuster 5 is adapted to install the cap body 7, and a cap clip 6 is fixedly installed on the outside of the cap body 7 for easy carrying.

[0048] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the energy storage component 2 includes a battery compartment 21 and a threaded port 23. A rechargeable battery is installed inside the battery compartment 21. A charging interface 22 and a switch 24 are installed at the rear end of the battery compartment 21. The charging interface 22 is used to connect to a power source to charge the battery, while the switch 24 is located between the rechargeable battery and the drive device 1 to cut off the current. A threaded port 23 is also provided at the front end of the battery compartment 21, which is threadedly connected to the drive device 1 for electrical connection.

[0049] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the housing 11 includes a sleeve 111 and a pair of guide grooves 113. The tail end of the sleeve 111 is provided with a threaded connector 112, which is adapted to mate with a threaded opening 23. In addition, a pair of contacts 114 are provided at the ends of the pair of guide grooves 113. The contacts 114 can be electrically connected to the battery compartment 21 through the threaded connector 112. The protrusion 15 is adapted to slide within the guide groove 113 and to contact the contacts 114. Thus, when the protrusion 15 contacts the contacts 114, the iron core coil 12 can be charged instantaneously, thereby causing the iron core coil 12 to generate a magnetic field and generate a magnetic force between it and the permanent magnet 14. The magnetic force pushes the iron core coil 12 to compress the return spring 13. Thus, by using the alternating action of elastic force and magnetic force, the iron core coil 12 achieves reciprocating motion.

[0050] In some embodiments, the connector 3 includes a rod 31 and a stud 33. A plug 32 is provided at the front end of the rod 31, which is adapted to be inserted into the iron core coil 12, thereby using the iron core coil 12 to drive the rod 31 to move. On the other hand, a stud 33 is provided at the rear end of the rod 31, and the stud 33 forms a helical pair with the needle 4.

[0051] In this embodiment, the needle 4 includes a plum blossom needle 41 and an internal threaded hole 43. The internal threaded hole 43 is threadedly connected to the stud 33. The end of the plum blossom needle 41 is provided with a guide post 42, which is a prism or a spline shaft. The internal threaded hole 43 is provided at the axis of the guide post 42. The length of the needle is adjusted by the helical pair formed by the stud 33 and the internal threaded hole 43.

[0052] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the regulator 5 includes an adjusting tube 51 and a mounting cover 52. A guide post 42 is inserted into the interior of the adjusting tube 51, forming a linear pair with the adjusting tube 51. This allows the guide post 42 to slide along the axis inside the adjusting tube 51, driving the needle 4 to extend and retract. The mounting cover 52 is screwed to the tail end of the adjusting tube 51, and the head end of the adjusting tube 51 is rotatably mounted on the regulator 5. In this embodiment, the adjusting tube 51 is provided with a scale to facilitate adjustment of the length of the needle 4. Although the utility model has been described in detail above with general description and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made based on the utility model, which are obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the utility model are within the scope of protection claimed by the utility model.
