Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a foldable acupuncture protective cover. Background Technology
[0002] Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Besides the head and face, the abdomen and limbs are also commonly chosen acupuncture sites. During acupuncture treatment, patients are required to remove clothing from the acupuncture area, and the needles are left in place for a period of time after the treatment. Because of the needles, it's not possible to directly cover the acupuncture site with clothing. This not only fails to protect the patient's privacy but also makes them susceptible to chills, further weakening their already compromised body and affecting the treatment's effectiveness. Therefore, warm and supportive clothing is essential.
[0003] Currently, acupuncture covers are all fixed in one piece, which cannot be moved at will or folded in a convenient way. When not in use, they tend to take up a lot of storage space and are inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0020] To make the technical solution of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] In existing technologies, traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture treatment requires exposure of the treatment area. Traditional acupuncture covers are mostly fixed, single-piece structures that cannot be folded, taking up a lot of space when stored. Existing devices also suffer from problems such as the fixed connection between the pivot and support rods preventing compression after folding, the non-adjustable length of the support rods leading to poor adaptability, and the fixed mesh pocket being difficult to disassemble and clean.
[0023] To address the aforementioned issues, it was discovered during the research and development process that the traditional acupuncture cover still exhibits interference between the support rod and the pivot after folding.
[0024] Analysis revealed that a detachable connection between the support rod and the pivot eliminates the dead volume during folding. Further considering the need for adjustable support rod length, a sliding extension bar structure was adopted. Multiple tests verified that the arc-shaped sliding bar reduces longitudinal space occupation in the retracted state while maintaining support strength when extended.
[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this application provides a foldable acupuncture protective cover, including a base plate 11. A rotating shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the base plate 11. Several slots 27 are provided on the side wall of the rotating shaft 24. A support rod 21 is detachably connected in the slots 27. An arc-shaped extension strip 22 is slidably connected on the support rod 21. The support rod 21 and the extension strip 22 are used to attach a net bag.
[0026] The base plate 11 refers to the platform that supports the structure, which can be made of injection-molded engineering plastic plate and serves as the mounting base for the pivot 24 and the support rod 21.
[0027] The pivot 24 is the core component that enables rotation and folding. Specifically, it can be a metal pivot with a bearing seat. By rotating 24, the unfolding angle of the support rod 21 can be changed. The slot 27 is the mounting position for fixing the support rod 21, ensuring the stability of the support rod installation and facilitating disassembly.
[0028] Moreover, the number of support rods 21 can be adjusted according to usage requirements. By assembling and disassembling different numbers of support rods 21, the density of the body folding cover can be adjusted to achieve different blocking effects.
[0029] The end of the support rod 21 is connected to a rotating block 26, and the support rod 21 and the rotating block 26 are rotatably connected. The rotating block 26 is engaged with the slot 27. The support rod 21 is connected to the rotating shaft 24 through the rotating block 26. At the same time, the rotating shaft 24 can make the support rod 21 rotate, thereby expanding the angle of the support rod 21 and covering a larger area.
[0030] Furthermore, in this application, there are two rotating shafts 24, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the substrate 11. The two rotating shafts 24 can ensure that more support rods 21 can extend from both ends of the substrate 11, so as to facilitate the formation of a balanced body.
[0031] In this application, a fixing block 25 is fixedly installed on the lower end face of the substrate 11. The fixing block 25 and the rotating shaft 24 are connected by a bearing to ensure the integrity of the rotating shaft 24 installation.
[0032] Support rod 21 refers to the rod that supports the net bag, which can be made of hollow aluminum alloy tube to reduce the overall weight. Extension bar 22 refers to the arc-shaped component that adjusts the support length, which can be made of shape memory metal material. Extension bar 22 itself is arc-shaped, and the support range is changed by sliding. Extension bar 22 works with support rod 21 and base plate 11 to form a cover space. The net bag is connected to support rod 21 and extension bar 22 to achieve the protection effect.
[0033] When storage is required, the support rod 21 can be stored after separating from the slot 27, and the extension strip 22 is completely retracted into the support rod 21, so that the components are in a compact stacked state.
[0034] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves a three-dimensional spatial folding function for the acupuncture cover, reducing the overall thickness by approximately 60% after the support rod and pivot are separated. The adjustable support length design allows a single device to be adapted to patients of different body types, and the quick-release mesh pocket structure improves cleaning and maintenance efficiency. The folded device is only 20% the size of its unfolded state, making it easy to store in a standard medical cart drawer.
[0035] Meanwhile, to ensure the storage of the extension bar 22, the support rod 21 is provided with a telescopic groove 28. The extension bar 22 and the telescopic groove 28 are slidably connected. At the same time, the extension bar 22 and the inner wall of the telescopic groove 28 are always in contact. The extension bar 22 is engaged by the friction between the extension bar 22 and the telescopic groove 28, thereby controlling the length of the extension bar 22.
[0036] The end of the extension bar 22 extends out of the support rod 21, and a positioning block 23 is fixedly connected to the end of the extension bar 22. The positioning block 23 is U-shaped. When the extension bar 22 is retracted into the support rod 21, the positioning block 23 and the support rod 21 are engaged to prevent the extension bar 22 from falling off.
[0037] A locking device is provided on the substrate 11, and the locking device is connected to the rotating shaft 24.
[0038] In this application, the locking device includes a rotating rope 15, which can be implemented by the rotating rope 15 being wound around the rotating shaft 25 and the pulling force being transmitted through a sliding block. The frictional resistance between the rotating rope 15 and the rotating shaft 25 forms a constraint on the circumferential movement of the rotating shaft. One end of the rotating rope 15 is wound and connected to the rotating shaft 24, and the other end of the rotating rope 15 is fixedly connected to a movable block 14. The movable block 14 and the base plate 11 are slidably connected.
[0039] When the rotating shaft 24 drives the support rod 21 to unfold to the target angle, the winding section of the locking device's rotating rope 15 forms a spiral wrap on the surface of the rotating shaft 24. At this time, the movable block 14 slides along the base plate under the action of external force and pulls the rotating rope to tighten. Frictional resistance is generated between the contact surface of the rotating rope 15 and the rotating shaft 24. This resistance forms a constraint torque on the rotation direction of the rotating shaft 24, thereby achieving the locking effect on the rotating shaft 24.
[0040] Among them, the rope refers to the flexible connecting component, which can be made of nylon rope or steel wire rope.
[0041] The substrate 11 has a through-hole groove 12 at its center. The movable block 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 12. In this application, the movable block 14 is an I-shaped part, and the upper and lower end faces of the movable block 14 and the substrate 11 are slidably connected. The connection between the movable block 14 and the groove 12 is more stable, ensuring the movable block...
[0042] A hook 13 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the movable slot 12. The hook 13 and the movable block 14 are detachably connected. The hook 13 flips and engages with the movable block 14, which can lock the movable block 14 and ensure the locking of the rotating shaft 24. At the same time, since the hook 13 and the movable block 14 are separate, the hook 13 can be easily hung as a whole, and the storage effect is better.
[0043] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
