Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of warm needle device technology, and in particular to a warm needle device for traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and physiotherapy. Background Technology
[0002] A warm needle device is a medical device that combines traditional acupuncture with thermotherapy. It aims to enhance the stimulation of acupoints by heating the needles, thereby achieving the therapeutic goals of warming and unblocking meridians and dispelling cold and dampness. Its core principle is that after inserting the needles into acupoints, moxibustion is used to continuously heat the needles, allowing the heat to be conducted along the needles to deeper tissues, thus exerting the dual effects of acupuncture and heat. Currently, many warm needle devices rely on the physician placing a piece of paper on the patient's skin to collect moxibustion ash, which is unhygienic and poses a risk of burns from incompletely burned ash.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent publication number CN117679308B, which discloses a warm needle device for traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and physiotherapy, including a needle body, a moxa wool burning and cleaning mechanism inserted through the needle body, a positioning mechanism between the needle body and the moxa wool burning and cleaning mechanism, and a heat preservation device at the lower end of the moxa wool burning and cleaning mechanism.
[0004] In view of the fact that the above-mentioned technologies have a large number of components installed on the needle body, resulting in the needle body being too heavy and the upper end being too large, and in actual warm needling treatment, the needle is usually inserted into the patient's acupoint first, and then the moxa stick, heat insulation plate and other components are installed. Directly using a large needle body may make it difficult for doctors to accurately locate the acupoint; therefore, a warm needling device for traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and physiotherapy is proposed.

Multiple heat insulation bowls 4 are fixedly installed on both sides of the positioning ring 8. Each heat insulation bowl 4 is a semi-circular bowl-shaped component that can be spliced together for easy installation. A dust collection plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the heat insulation bowl 4. A heat conduction plate 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heat insulation bowl 4.
[0031] The diameter of the mounting post 2 is larger than that of the needle 1, which makes it easier to insert into the moxa stick 3 and ignite the moxa stick 3 for warm needling.
[0032] The positioning ring 8 has a groove in the middle, which can hold the heat insulation bowls 4 installed on both sides for fixation and prevent them from sliding up and down. The heat insulation bowls 4 can prevent the high temperature of the moxa stick 3 from burning the patient's body surface. At the same time, they work with the dust collection plates 6 on both sides to catch the soot falling from the burning moxa stick 3 and prevent the incompletely burned ash from burning the patient's body surface.
[0033] When using it, the needle 1 can be inserted into the patient's body first, and then the heat insulation bowls 4 on both sides and the moxa stick 3 can be installed on the installation column 2. This can effectively insulate heat and collect ash, while not affecting the doctor's acupuncture insertion into the acupoints.
[0034] In this embodiment, a buckle 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the heat insulation bowl 4, and a slot 9 is fixedly connected to the other side of the heat insulation bowl 4. The buckle 5 and the slot 9 are located on both sides of the heat insulation bowl 4. When docking, the buckle 5 can be fastened into the slot 9 for fixation, which can facilitate docking and prevent it from falling off.
[0035] In this embodiment, one end of the heat insulation bowl 4 on one side is fixedly connected to a mating boss 13, and one end of the heat insulation bowl 4 on the other side is provided with a mating groove 14. The mating boss 13 can be inserted into the mating groove 14, so that the heat insulation bowls 4 on both sides can be mated and fixed by the buckle 5 and the groove 9 without slipping, making the installation more stable.
[0036] In this embodiment, a heat-conducting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heat-insulating bowl 4, a clamping plate 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heat-insulating bowl 4, and an anti-slip pad 12 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the clamping plate 11. The heat-conducting plate 10 can be an aluminum metal plate, which is lightweight and has good thermal conductivity, facilitating heat transfer.
[0037] Multiple heat insulation sheets 15 are sandwiched between the anti-slip pad 12 and the bottom of the heat insulation bowl 4. The anti-slip pad 12 is made of rubber and multiple heat insulation sheets 15 can be installed in the gap between it and the heat insulation bowl 4. The heat insulation sheets 15 are made of aluminum foil. The effect of heating the skin can be adjusted by controlling the number of heat insulation sheets 15, which can improve the patient's experience of warm needle therapy.
[0038] In this embodiment: the diameter of the mounting post 2 is larger than that of the needle 1, which makes it easier to insert into the moxa stick 3 and ignite the moxa stick 3 for warm needling;
[0039] The positioning ring 8 has a groove in the middle, which can hold the heat insulation bowls 4 installed on both sides for fixation and prevent them from sliding up and down. The heat insulation bowls 4 can prevent the high temperature of the moxa stick 3 from burning the patient's body surface. At the same time, they work with the dust collection plates 6 on both sides to catch the soot falling from the burning moxa stick 3 and prevent the incompletely burned ash from burning the patient's body surface.
[0040] When using it, the needle 1 can be inserted into the patient's body first, and then the heat insulation bowls 4 on both sides and the moxa stick 3 can be installed on the installation column 2. This can effectively insulate heat and collect ash, while not affecting the doctor's acupuncture insertion into the acupoints.
[0041] The buckle 5 and the slot 9 are located on both sides of the heat insulation bowl 4. When docking, the buckle 5 can be fastened into the slot 9 for fixation, which facilitates docking and prevents it from falling off. The docking boss 13 can be inserted into the docking groove 14, so that the heat insulation bowls 4 on both sides will not slip after docking and fixing through the buckle 5 and the slot 9, making the installation more stable. The anti-slip pad 12 can be installed with multiple heat insulation sheets 15 in the gap between it and the heat insulation bowl 4. The heat insulation sheets 15 are made of aluminum foil. The effect of heating the skin can be adjusted by controlling the number of heat insulation sheets 15, which can improve the patient's warm needle treatment experience.
