Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acupuncture instrument technology, and in particular to an electronic acupuncture instrument. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic acupuncture devices are medical equipment that combine traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture with modern electronic technology, and are widely used in clinical treatment. Their core structure includes a main unit, control circuit, output circuit, power supply, display unit, electrodes, and wires. The main unit contains various electronic components and circuits for generating and controlling current; the control circuit, based on a microprocessor or integrated circuit, can precisely control parameters such as the frequency, intensity, and waveform of the current; the output circuit converts the signals generated by the control circuit into a current suitable for stimulating acupoints, which is then output through the electrodes. The power supply is typically a DC power source, such as a 9V battery or an AC / DC converter, providing stable power support for the device. The display unit, such as an LCD1602 screen, displays the current parameters in real time, facilitating operation and monitoring by medical personnel. The electrodes are connected to acupoints to transmit current into the body; common electrode types include patch electrodes and acupuncture needle clips. Wires connect the main unit and electrodes, ensuring smooth current transmission.

[0003] However, existing electronic acupuncture devices have some shortcomings in practical use. Their external electrical connections consist of several wires, one end of which connects to the main body of the device, and the other end to the electrode patches. In actual design, the wires are quite long, but due to the lack of a wire winding mechanism, the multiple strands easily become tangled when not in use. This tangling not only increases the difficulty of operation for medical staff but may also damage the wires, affecting the normal use of the device. Before each use, medical staff need to spend extra time and effort to separate the tangled wires, which undoubtedly reduces work efficiency and increases the workload of medical staff. Therefore, improvements to the existing devices are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example:

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model is an electronic acupuncture device, including...

[0027] Acupuncture instrument main unit 1;

[0028] Cable storage components;

[0029] The acupuncture instrument host 1 is electrically connected to several connecting wires 3. One end of each connecting wire 3 is provided with a connector 4. The connector 4 is plugged into and matched with the electrode patch. The connecting wire 3 is wound up and stored inside the wire storage assembly.

[0030] As can be seen from the above, this utility model effectively solves the problem of the connecting wires 3 easily tangling when not in use by designing a wire storage component. The wire storage component, through the elastic action of the coil spring 15, automatically winds the connecting wires 3 onto the outer wall of the placement slot 14, preventing tangling between wires, improving the operational efficiency of medical personnel, reducing the risk of wire damage, and ensuring the normal use of the equipment.

[0031] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that the acupuncture instrument host 1 is electrically connected to an external power cord 2 on one side.

[0032] As can be seen from the above, one end of the external power cord 2 is equipped with a plug-in terminal, which is connected to the external power socket. The design of the external power cord 2 provides stable power support for the acupuncture instrument host 1, ensuring the normal operation of the device during use.

[0033] refer to Figures 2-5 As shown, the cable storage assembly includes a lower connecting box cover 5 and an upper connecting box cover 6 that is interlocked with the lower connecting box cover 5. The bottom wall of the lower connecting box cover 5 has an installation opening, and a pressing block 7 is movably installed inside the installation opening. A locking rod 8 is fixedly connected to the upper wall of the pressing block 7, and a locking slot 9 is provided on the upper wall of the locking rod 8.

[0034] The lower connecting box cover 5 has a first wire inlet 10 and a first wire outlet 11, and the upper connecting box cover 6 has a second wire inlet 12 and a second wire outlet 13.

[0035] The cable storage assembly also includes a placement slot 14 disposed inside the lower connecting box cover 5 and the upper connecting box cover 6. The placement slot 14 is provided with a coil spring 15. The placement slot 14 is provided with a first slot 16, a second slot 17, a third slot 18 and a fourth slot 19. One end of the coil spring 15 passes through the second slot 17 and the first slot 16 in sequence and is inserted into the placement slot 14.

[0036] The upper wall of the lower connecting box cover 5 has a through hole 20. One end of the locking rod 8 passes through the through hole 20 and is inserted into the placement slot box 14, and the other end of the coil spring 15 is locked in the slot 9.

[0037] One end of the connecting wire 3 is introduced into the lower connecting box cover 5 and the upper connecting box cover 6 through the first wire inlet 10 and the second wire inlet 12. The connecting wire 3 is also secured by the third slot 18 and the fourth slot 19 and wound around the outer wall of the placement box 14. The other end of the connecting wire 3 is led to the outside of the lower connecting box cover 5 and the upper connecting box cover 6 through the first wire outlet 11 and the second wire outlet 13.

[0038] Specifically, the cable storage assembly forms a closed storage space through the design of the lower connecting box cover 5 and the upper connecting box cover 6. The design of the pressing round block 7 and the locking lever 8 allows the connecting cable 3 to be easily pulled out when needed, and when not in use, the elasticity of the coil spring 15 automatically retracts the connecting cable 3 back to the outer wall of the placement slot box 14, avoiding the tangling of the cables. The design of the first cable inlet 10, the first cable outlet 11, the second cable inlet 12, and the second cable outlet 13 ensures the smooth introduction and withdrawal of the connecting cable 3, further improving the convenience of operation.

[0039] As can be seen from the above, when the connecting wire 3 is not in use, pressing the pressing block 7 causes the latch 9 on the lever 8 to engage with the coil spring 15. The elasticity of the coil spring 15 automatically winds the connecting wire 3 into the outer wall of the placement slot 14. At this time, the connecting wire 3 is neatly stored inside the placement slot 14, preventing the wires from tangling together. When the connecting wire 3 is needed, gently pull the connecting wire 3 to release it from the outer wall of the placement slot 14. At this time, the elasticity of the coil spring 15 will automatically adjust the tension of the connecting wire 3, ensuring that the wires do not loosen or tangle during use.
