AI Technical Summary
The existing acupuncture bed frame cannot support the bedding in the gaps between the rods after it is unfolded, causing the bedding to collapse and affecting the treatment effect. In addition, when patients are treated in multi-person wards, their bodies are exposed, which causes privacy and warmth problems.
Design an acupuncture bed support that includes multiple arched rods and a linkage group. The arched rods are kept horizontally sliding by the linkage group, which includes a first linkage and a second linkage. The linkage group is connected by magnets and supports the bedding with nylon straps, allowing the bedding to switch between unfolded and stowed states, preventing the bedding from sagging, and providing privacy and warmth.
This ensures that the bedding does not collapse during acupuncture treatment, meeting the needs for privacy protection and warmth, and improving the treatment effect and patient comfort.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an acupuncture auxiliary device, specifically an acupuncture bed support. Background Technology
[0002] Acupuncture requires patients to expose the acupuncture site for needle insertion, and after insertion, the patient must remain exposed for a predetermined time before the needles are removed. During this time, the patient's body is exposed, making them susceptible to catching a cold. This is especially problematic for patients receiving scheduled acupuncture in shared wards, where the patient's exposed body, lacking any covering due to the needle insertion, can cause embarrassment for other patients and their families entering and leaving the ward.
[0003] Patent number "CN221106299U" also proposes a warming support for acupuncture treatment of hemiplegic patients, including a bottom support structure and an upper support structure. The bottom support structure includes an outer rod and an inner rod parallel to it. The outer rod includes a first segment, a second segment, a third segment, a fourth segment, and a fifth segment. The inner rod also includes a first segment, a second segment, a third segment, and a fourth segment. Both the inner and outer rods are equipped with locking structures. However, when the device is fully extended, the gaps between the rods cannot support the bedding, causing the bedding to gradually collapse under gravity, interfering with the needles and affecting the therapeutic effect of acupuncture. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an acupuncture bed support to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an acupuncture bed support, characterized in that it comprises:
[0006] Multiple equidistant arc-shaped arch rods, each arc-shaped arch rod having multiple pivot points;
[0007] A linkage assembly for connecting two adjacent arc-shaped arch rods, wherein:
[0008] The linkage assembly includes a first link and a second link. One end of the first link is rotatably connected to one end of the second link, and the other end of the first link is rotatably connected to the pivot of the arc-shaped arch rod. The other end of the second link is rotatably connected to the pivot of an adjacent arc-shaped arch rod. Multiple magnets are equidistantly distributed on opposite sides of the arc-shaped arch rod.
[0009] Preferably, a nylon strip is provided between two adjacent arc-shaped arch rods, and the nylon strip and the connecting rod group are symmetrically distributed with respect to the arc apex of the arc-shaped arch rod.
[0010] Preferably, the arc-shaped arch rod is a hollow polyethylene plastic rod.
[0011] Preferably, the two ends of the arc-shaped arch rod are vertical sections, and rubber feet are inserted into the vertical sections.
[0012] Preferably, multiple equally spaced magnets are embedded in the opposite sides of the arc-shaped arch rod.
[0013] Preferably, the connecting rod assembly further includes a screw and a wing cap, the screw being inserted at the rotatable connection between the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod, and the wing cap being threadedly connected to the screw.
[0014] Preferably, the first connecting rod is provided with a U-shaped groove, and when the arc-shaped arch rod is retracted, the second connecting rod is embedded in the U-shaped groove.
[0015] Preferably, the connecting rod assembly is a rigid polyethylene plastic part.
[0016] In the above technical solution, the acupuncture bed support provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: In the design, multiple arc-shaped arch rods are kept horizontally sliding through connecting rod groups, and the maximum distance between two adjacent arc-shaped arch rods after unfolding is equal to the length of the first and second connecting rods when unfolded coaxially. The first and second connecting rods serve as support members between the arc-shaped arch rods when unfolded, ensuring that the bedding or sheet covering the acupuncture bed support does not collapse between the two arc-shaped arch rods. This design can switch between two states: storage and unfolding, to facilitate storage during daily downtime and to meet the coverage area requirements during use. By adding a support structure, the bedding can cover the patient's exposed body during treatment, thus considering both privacy protection and warmth needs.
[0017] Secondly, in actual operation, since the whole is designed as a skeleton, when acupuncture is performed, the blanket covering the acupuncture bed frame can be lifted to expose the part that needs to be acupunctured, which fully considers privacy during the acupuncture process, as well as privacy protection and warmth needs.

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution, including:
[0026] Multiple equidistant arc-shaped arch rods 1, on which multiple rotating shafts 2 are fixedly installed symmetrically about the apex of the arc;
[0027] The connecting rod group used to ensure that the maximum length of the connecting rod group between two adjacent arched arch rods 1 when they are coaxial is equal to the maximum distance between the two adjacent arched arch rods 1, wherein:
[0028] The linkage assembly includes a first link 3 rotatably mounted on one of the pivots 2 of the arc-shaped arch rod 1, and a second link 4 rotatably mounted on one of the pivots 2 of the arc-shaped arch rod 1 and rotatably connected to the end of the first link 3.
[0029] Specifically, the connecting rod assembly (rigid polyethylene plastic part) in the above design is a two-link assembly, namely the first link 3 and the second link 4, which are installed by a damping bearing. The first link 3, the second link 4 and the rotating shaft 2 are also installed by a damping bearing.
[0030] Furthermore, the arched rod 1 is a hollow polyethylene plastic rod, and its cross-section can be a rounded rectangle, an ellipse, or a circle.
[0031] In the above design, multiple curved arch rods 1 are kept horizontally sliding by connecting rod groups, and the maximum distance between two adjacent curved arch rods 1 after unfolding is equal to the length of the first connecting rod 3 and the second connecting rod 4 when unfolded coaxially. The first connecting rod 3 and the second connecting rod 4 act as supports between the unfolded curved arch rods 1, ensuring that the bedding or sheet covering the acupuncture bed frame does not collapse between the two curved arch rods 1. This design can be stored... Figure 2 ) and unfold ( Figure 1 The mattress can switch between two states to facilitate storage when not in use and to meet coverage needs during use. The addition of a support frame allows the mattress to cover the patient's exposed body during treatment, thus addressing both privacy and warmth requirements.
[0032] Secondly, in actual operation, since the whole is designed as a skeleton, when performing acupuncture, the blanket covering the acupuncture bed frame can be lifted to expose the part that needs to be needled. After the acupuncture is completed, the blanket can be covered back on the frame. There is no need to worry about the blanket interfering with the needle. The privacy protection and warmth needs during and after the acupuncture are fully considered.
[0033] As a further embodiment of this utility model, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that multiple equally spaced magnets 50 are embedded and installed on the opposite sides of the arched rod 1. Therefore, when the sides of two adjacent arched rods 1 are in contact, the magnets 50 are magnetically connected to each other, thus making the two arched rods 1 fit tightly together.
[0034] As another embodiment further provided by this utility model, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the two ends of the arched rod 1 are vertical parts 11, and rubber feet 6 are inserted into the vertical parts 11. The rubber feet 6 increase the friction with the bed sheet.
[0035] As another embodiment further provided by this utility model, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that nylon straps 7, which are symmetrically distributed with the connecting rod group, are fixedly connected between two adjacent arched rods 1.
[0036] Specifically, in the embodiment, the nylon straps 7 and the connecting rods are symmetrically distributed. The purpose of this is to support the bedding or sheet covering the acupuncture bed frame, so that it will not collapse between the two arc-shaped arch rods 1 and interfere with the needles.
[0037] The connecting rod assembly also includes a screw 80 and a butterfly cap 81 threadedly connected to the screw 80. The screw 80 passes through the rotatable connection between the first connecting rod 3 and the second connecting rod 4, and is engaged with the butterfly cap 81 to lock the included angle of the connecting rod assembly.
[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, a U-shaped groove is provided on the first connecting rod 3. When the two arc-shaped arch rods 1 are retracted to fit together on the side, the second connecting rod 4 will be embedded in the U-shaped groove of the first connecting rod 3.
[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the end of the second connecting rod 4 is provided with a protrusion, while the end of the first connecting rod 3 is a U-shaped groove. The protrusion extends into the opening of the U-shaped groove, and the screw 80 passes through the through hole opened in the protrusion and the U-shaped groove. Then, after the first connecting rod 3 and the second connecting rod 4 are driven to a predetermined angle, as... Figure 1 In the current state, rotating the butterfly cap 81 reduces the opening of the U-shaped groove, causing the inner wall of the groove to fit against the side wall of the protrusion, thus locking it in that state. To switch to... Figure 2 When this happens, simply rotate the butterfly cap 81 so that the butterfly cap 81 and the screw 80 do not shrink the opening of the U-shaped groove, that is, the inner wall of the groove no longer fits against the side wall of the protrusion.
[0040] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
