Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic fire needle technology, and in particular to a novel electronic fire needle. Background Technology

[0002] Fire needling is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment method that involves rapidly inserting a red-hot needle into an acupoint to treat diseases. However, with the continuous advancement of medical equipment, this traditional method of heating the needle until it is red-hot has been gradually replaced. Literature review reveals that current clinical fire needling techniques require manual heating and insertion, which can lead to uneven heating, uncontrollable temperature and depth, and inconvenience in portability. These issues hinder the clinical use of fire needling and also affect the rigor of scientific research.

[0003] Traditional fire needles still have the following shortcomings:

[0004] 1) Currently, the use of fire needles in clinical practice requires manual heating, which is cumbersome. During treatment, the needles need to be heated with an open flame one by one. Treating large areas of skin lesions takes too long and greatly reduces treatment efficiency.

[0005] 2) Open flame heating poses a safety hazard. Traditional fire needling requires an alcohol lamp or several flammable alcohol cotton balls for ignition, and the open flame heating poses a safety hazard to the operator and the patient.

[0006] 3) The depth of needle insertion during fire needling is uncontrollable. Currently, the fire needling technique used in clinical practice involves rapid insertion and withdrawal during treatment, resulting in varying depths depending on the individual and the specific treatment. This makes it difficult to promote and standardize fire needling techniques.

[0007] 4) The needling point of fire needling is uncontrollable. For example, when treating internal hemorrhoids or oral ulcers, because the lesions are located deep and it is difficult to obtain sufficient light, the doctor cannot accurately determine the landing point of the fire needle in a relatively dark and confined space, which increases the probability of treatment errors and thus reduces the accuracy and effectiveness of the treatment.

[0008] 5) Changing between different sizes of fire needles is inconvenient. In clinical treatment, different sizes of needles are often required for different conditions. For example, in fire needle therapy, 1.5-inch, No. 26 needles are used to treat shingles, while No. 20-22 needles are used to treat frozen shoulder. The inconvenience of operation, changing, and carrying these needles greatly hinders their widespread clinical application.

[0009] Therefore, we propose a novel electronic fire needle. Utility Model Content

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. By setting up a power supply control module, a fixing plate, and a pulse heater, the pulse principle is used to generate continuous instantaneous electric sparks to heat the fire needle, replacing open flame and the resistance heating commonly used in classic electric fire needle therapy. This can ensure that the heating temperature reaches above 850 degrees Celsius, meeting the temperature requirements of fire needle therapy, while also concentrating the heat, reducing the risk of burns, improving safety, saving energy and being environmentally friendly. It can also cope with windy environments and can handle a variety of complex treatment environments.

[0022] 2. By setting up a power supply control module, fixing plate and pulse heater together, the operation is simple and convenient. During treatment, there is no need to heat the fire needle with an open flame one by one. The local rapid heating of the fire needle is achieved by pulse heating, which shortens the heating time and avoids the treatment process being too long when treating large areas of skin lesions such as non-segmental vitiligo, thus speeding up the treatment efficiency.

[0023] 3. By setting up the fire needle body, sliding sleeve, through hole, fixing ring, and pushing component to cooperate with the inner body of the fire needle, the depth of the fire needle can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the acupuncture. The needle size is between 0-30mm, which can meet almost all usage scenarios of fire needle treatment. It can also accurately treat relatively hidden lesions, solving the problem of difficult depth control of traditional fire needles, allowing the operator to accurately control the depth of needle insertion.

[0024] 4. By setting up a power supply control module, fixing components and laser head to cooperate, the laser is used for skin positioning. By projecting the laser onto the skin area to be treated, the treatment site can be located, which helps medical staff to clearly grasp the landing point of the fire needle and improve the accuracy and effect of the treatment.

[0025] 5. By configuring the fire needle body, sliding sleeve, actuating component, sliding groove, hole, inner body of the fire needle, collar, mounting head, and fire needle kit to cooperate with each other, fire needle kits with different sized fire needles can be easily and quickly replaced, thereby addressing various diseases encountered in clinical treatment.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0035] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0036] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel electronic fire needle, comprising a fire needle body 1, which is a shell-shaped structure with one open end and a hollow interior. The fire needle body 1 is made of PVC material, which is lightweight and easy for the operator to hold for a long time. Two fixing parts 13 and two fixing plates 14 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the open end of the fire needle body 1. A laser lamp head 15 is fixedly installed on each of the two fixing parts 13, and a pulse heater 16 is fixedly installed on each of the two fixing plates 14. A power supply control module 2 is provided on the fire needle body 1. The power supply control module 2 includes a controller, a battery 21, a main switch 22, a laser switch 23, a heating switch 24, a heating indicator light 25, a power indicator light 26, and a charging port 27. The charging port 27 is fixedly installed on the body 1 of the fire needle, and the battery 21 is fixedly installed inside the inner body 9 of the fire needle. The controller uses an AT810S51 microcontroller, which is small in size, low in cost, has many T / 0 pins, high reliability, strong anti-interference ability, and simple programming. The battery 21 is electrically connected to the controller and the main switch 22 through wires. The laser switch 23 and the heating switch 24 are electrically connected to the main switch 22 through wires. The laser switch 23 is electrically connected to the laser lamp head 15 through wires. The heating switch 24 is electrically connected to the pulse heater 16 through wires. The controller is electrically connected to the heating indicator light 25 and the power indicator light 26. The power indicator light 26 can display the power level in the battery 21. The charging port 27 is electrically connected to the battery 21 through wires. The charging port 27 is a USB charging port, which can be connected to an external power source to charge the battery 21. Turning on the main switch 22 will energize the electronic fire needle. Pressing the heating switch 24 will cause the pulse heater 16 to generate an electric arc to precisely heat the fire needle 122. During the heating process, the heating indicator light 25 will light up. The entire heating process lasts for 3 seconds according to the program set inside the controller. After 3 seconds, the controller will turn off the heating switch 24 to stop the heating. At this time, the heating indicator light 25 will be turned off, and the operator can then perform subsequent needle insertion operations. The above is a mature and publicly available technology. This technology can be implemented by those skilled in the art through simple programming. Therefore, its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail in this article.

[0037] To clarify, pulse heating utilizes the principle of pulses to generate continuous, instantaneous electric sparks, thereby precisely heating the needle. This technology is currently widely used in modern gas kitchen appliances, and the production technology is mature, with reduced costs. This heating method does not produce open flames, avoiding the risk of fire and greatly protecting the personal and property safety of doctors and patients. Furthermore, pulse heaters are much smaller than resistance heaters, yet their heating efficiency is comparable. Therefore, they are more lightweight and portable in product design.

[0038] The fire needle body 1 has a sliding sleeve 3 inside, which is slidably connected to the fire needle body 1. The side wall of the fire needle body 1 has a sliding groove 5, and one side of the sliding groove 5 has a hole 17. A toggle assembly 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding sleeve 3. The toggle assembly 4 includes a toggle plate 41, which is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve 3. The toggle plate 41 is adapted to the sliding groove 5 and is slidably connected. A moving rod 42 is fixedly connected to one side of the toggle plate 41. The moving rod 42 is adapted to the hole 17 and is slidably connected. A first spring 43 is fixedly connected to the side of the moving rod 42 away from the toggle plate 41. The first spring 43 is fixedly connected between the moving rod 42 and the inner wall of the hole 17.

[0039] The end of the fire needle body 1 away from the opening has a through hole 6. A fixing ring 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the fire needle body 1 near the through hole 6. A pushing assembly 8 is provided in the through hole 6. The pushing assembly 8 includes a pushing block 81 and a second spring 82. The second spring 82 is fixedly connected between the fixing ring 7 and the pushing ring 85. A threaded rod 83 is fixedly connected to one side of the pushing block 81. The threaded rod 83 is adapted to the through hole 6 and is slidably connected. A limit ring 84 and a pushing ring 85 are provided on the threaded rod 83. The limit ring 84 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 83. The pushing ring 85 is fixedly sleeved on the threaded rod 83 and is located inside the fire needle body 1. A pushing rod 86 is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod 83 away from the pushing block 81. The pushing rod 86 is slidably connected to the fixing ring 7 and fixedly connected to the inner body 9 of the fire needle.

[0040] The sliding sleeve 3 has a sliding connection to the inner body of the fire needle 9. One end of the sliding sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to a collar 10, and one end of the inner body of the fire needle 9 is fixedly connected to an installation head 11. The collar 10 and the installation head 11 are slidably connected. The installation head 11 is provided with a fire needle kit 12. The fire needle kit 12 includes an installation sleeve 121, which is adapted to the installation head 11 and is slidably connected. One side of the installation sleeve 121 is fixedly connected to a fire needle 122. The fire needle kit 12 with different sizes of fire needles 122 can be replaced according to different symptoms.

[0041] It should be noted that this utility model is a novel electronic fire needle. In use, the operator first needs to select a fire needle kit 12 of appropriate size according to the patient's condition and install it on the mounting head 11. Then, the main switch 22 is turned on to energize the electronic fire needle. Pressing the heating switch 24 causes the pulse heater 16 to generate an electric arc to precisely heat the fire needle 122. During heating, the heating indicator light 25 illuminates. The entire heating process lasts for 3 seconds according to the program set inside the controller. After 3 seconds, the controller will disconnect the heating switch 24 to stop heating. At this time, the heating indicator light 25 will illuminate. After the laser is turned off, the laser switch 23 is pressed, causing the two laser lamp heads 15 to emit lasers to locate the needle insertion point on the skin. After the operator observes that the heating indicator light 25 is off, the operator pushes the push block 81 on the push assembly 8. The push block 81 moves within the through hole 6, thereby driving the push rod 86 to move synchronously. The push rod 86 pushes the inner body 9 of the fire needle 9 within the fire needle body 1, so that the fire needle on the fire needle kit 12 on the mounting head 11 of the fire needle body 1 punctures the skin at the laser positioning point. During this process, the second spring 82 is compressed by the movement of the push ring 85. In the contracted state, after acupuncture, the pushing force applied to the pushing block 81 is removed. At this time, the elastic force generated by the reset of the second spring 82 will drive the fire needle assembly 12 back to its original position, thereby causing the fire needle 122 to detach from the patient's body. When it is necessary to adjust the insertion depth of the fire needle 122, simply rotate the limiting ring 84 to move it on the threaded rod 83, thereby changing the distance between the limiting ring 84 and the pushing block 81. The greater the distance between the limiting ring 84 and the pushing block 81, the shallower the insertion depth of the fire needle 122; the smaller the distance between the limiting ring 84 and the pushing block 81, the shallower the insertion depth of the fire needle 122. The deeper the insertion depth, the better. After the acupuncture is completed, if it is necessary to replace the fire needle kit 12 with a different size or to disassemble the fire needle kit 12 and install a new fire needle kit 12, simply push the actuating plate 41. As the actuating plate 41 moves within the sliding groove 5, it will drive the sliding sleeve 3 to move within the fire needle body 1. The movement of the sliding sleeve 3 will drive the fixing ring 7 to move away from the actuating plate 41. The sliding sleeve 3 will move on the mounting head 11, thereby pushing off the mounting sleeve 121 on the mounting head 11 to disassemble the fire needle kit 12. Then, a new fire needle kit 12 can be installed. Compared with existing new electronic fire needles, this utility model is convenient and quick to operate, can quickly replace different models of fire needles, can control the acupuncture depth during the fire needle acupuncture process, improve the accuracy and effect of acupuncture, and does not require manual heating with an open flame, thus improving safety and treatment efficiency.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
