[0002] Auricular acupoint probes, also known as acupoint probe pens, are medical devices used to locate and position acupoints on the human body. Medical staff can use these tools to quickly and directly locate acupoints, effectively improving diagnostic and treatment efficiency.

[0003] The existing ear acupoint probe has low spring pressure, and the pressure is subject to subjective control by the prober, which may result in uneven pressure. Different patients have different tolerance levels, making it inconvenient to adjust the spring pressure according to usage requirements. In addition, the spherical head at the end of the pen tube is not easy to stick the ear acupoint patch, making it inconvenient for the operator to insert the ear acupoint patch into the auricle and stick it in time, making it quite inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ear acupoint probe to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An ear acupuncture probe, comprising:

[0030] 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.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, an ear acupoint probe includes a pen tube 1, one end of which is screwed onto a pen cap 101. A groove 102 is formed on the outer surface of the pen tube 1. Anti-slip strips 104 are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the pen tube 1 and the pen cap 101. The anti-slip strips 104 increase the friction between the pen tube 1 and the pen cap 101, making it easier for people to hold the pen tube 1. An acupoint probe component 2 is disposed inside the pen cap 101. The acupoint probe component 2 includes an acupoint probe needle 201. A thread 202 is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the acupoint probe needle 201. A conical block 204 is screwed onto the outer side of the acupoint probe needle 201. An adjustment component 3 is disposed inside the pen tube 1. A clamping component 4 is disposed at the other end of the pen tube 1. The clamping component 4 includes a base 401. A clamp 402 is movably provided at one end of the base 401.

[0032] Specifically, the exposed length of the acupoint probe 201 is adjusted by screwing the thread 202 and the conical block 204 together. At the same time, the pressure of the first spring 301 on the acupoint probe 201 can be adjusted by adjusting the component 3. The ear acupoint patch is clamped by the clamping component 4 and pasted into the auricle.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer surface of the pen tube 1 is provided with adjusting grooves 103 at equal intervals on one side of the first sliding groove 102.

[0035] In this embodiment, the limiting block 305 slides inside the first slide groove 102 to adjust the position of the top block 302, and then the limiting block 305 is locked inside the adjustment groove 103 at different positions to fix the top block 302.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a slider 203 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the inner surface of the pen cap 101, and a second slide groove 205 is symmetrically opened on the outer surface of the conical block 204. The slider 203 and the second slide groove 205 are slidably connected. The adjustment component 3 includes: a top block 302 slidably connected to the inside of the pen tube 1, a first spring 301 movably disposed inside the pen tube 1, a step block 303 fixedly installed on one side surface of the top block 302, and a push block 304 rotatably connected to the outer surface of the step block 303. Through the rotatable connection between the push block 304 and the step block 303, the push block 304 does not drive the top block 302 to rotate, reducing the torsion of the first spring 301. The first spring 301 is located between the top block 302 and the probe needle 201. A limit block 305 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the push block 304. The limit block 305 is slidably connected to the first slide groove 102 and the adjustment groove 103.

[0037] In practice, the acupoint probe 201 is rotated, and through the screw connection of the thread 202 and the conical block 204, the probe 201 is rotated by the sliding limit of the second slide groove 205 and the slide bar 203. The length of the probe 201 extending out of the pen cap 101 is adjusted, and the pressure of the first spring 301 on the probe 201 is adjusted. Then, the limiting block 305 is locked inside the adjusting groove 103 at different positions, and the top block 302 is fixed at different positions. Thus, by adjusting the position of the top block 302, the pressure of the first spring 301 on the probe 201 can be quickly adjusted, which is convenient to quickly adjust the pressure of the first spring 301 according to the tolerance of different patients and the usage requirements.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Based on Embodiment 1, in order to overcome the problem that the spherical head at the end of the pen tube 1 is not convenient for clamping the ear acupoint patch.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a slide rod 403 is fixedly installed on one side surface of the clamp 402. The slide rod 403 slides through the base 401. A slide frame 404 is slidably connected to the outside of the base 401. The slide frame 404 slides through the base 401 and is fixedly connected to the slide rod 403. A second spring 405 is movably sleeved on the outside of the slide rod 403 on one side of the slide frame 404.

[0041] In practice, pushing the sliding frame 404 causes the sliding rod 403 to move the clamp 402, separating the clamp 402 from the base 401. The ear acupoint patch is placed inside the clamp 402 and the base 401. Under the elastic force of the second spring 405, the clamp 402 can be reset. The sliding frame 404 is released, allowing the clamp 402 and the base 401 to clamp the ear acupoint patch, thus facilitating the clamping of the ear acupoint patch through the clamping component 4. This makes it easier for the operator to insert the ear acupoint patch into the auricle for timely application, making the ear acupoint probe easier to use. Furthermore, the clamp 402 and the base 401 form a spherical structure that can be used to press ear acupoints.

[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0043] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
