Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy equipment, specifically an independently adjustable auricular acupressure device. Background Technology

[0002] Auricular acupressure is a commonly used physiotherapy method in Traditional Chinese Medicine. By applying continuous stimulation to corresponding acupoints on the ear, it can regulate the internal organs, relieve symptoms, and improve corresponding physical discomfort. It has good therapeutic effects on common problems such as myopia prevention and control, insomnia treatment, and blood pressure regulation.

[0003] Currently, most common auricular acupressure therapy methods involve applying magnetic beads or medicinal seeds to corresponding acupoints on the ear and relying on finger pressure to generate stimulation. This method has many shortcomings. On the one hand, it is difficult to repeatedly adjust the pressure of the adhesive tape, and it is impossible to adjust the stimulation intensity according to the user's tolerance. Long-term application of the tape can also easily cause skin allergies. On the other hand, conventional auricular acupressure devices are mostly one-piece structures, which cannot independently adjust the pressure depth and force for individual acupoints, and it is also difficult to adapt to the usage needs of different ear sizes and different acupoint locations, resulting in poor flexibility of use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an independently adjustable auricular acupressure device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0018] 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.

[0019] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6The diagram illustrates an independently adjustable auricular acupressure device, comprising two sets of front clamping arms 1 that conform to the front of the auricle, a back clamping arm 2 that conforms to the back of the auricle, and an elastic bridge arm 3 connecting the two sets of front clamping arms 1. The back clamping arm 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the front clamping arm 1. The front clamping arm 1, the back clamping arm 2, and the elastic bridge arm 3 are all made of medical-grade PEEK or TR-90 plastic, which is lightweight, resistant to sweat corrosion, and non-allergenic to the skin. It also includes mounting holes 4, with multiple mounting holes 4 distributed along the arcuate direction of the front clamping arm 1 on its inner side where it conforms to the front of the auricle. The number and position of these holes correspond to the auricular acupressure group for myopia prevention. Each mounting hole 4 contains an acupressure unit 5. Furthermore, it includes an adjustment component 11, which is mounted on the back clamping arm 2 and changes the overall clamping tension of the clamp on the auricle. Finally, it includes an elastic silicone pad 16, which is located on the inner side of the arcuate segment of the back clamping arm 2 where it conforms to the antihelix of the auricle.

[0020] The front clamp arm 1 has a marking area 18 on its outer surface corresponding to the position of each acupoint pressing unit 5. The marking area 18 is marked with the name of the corresponding acupoint, which helps users quickly locate the acupoint and avoid misalignment during adjustment, thus ensuring the therapeutic effect. An adhesive layer is provided between the elastic silicone pad 16 and the back clamp arm 2. The elastic silicone pad 16 is detachably connected to the back clamp arm 2 through the adhesive layer, which allows for direct replacement of the elastic silicone pad 16 when it ages, without replacing the entire device, reducing maintenance costs. At the same time, the elastic silicone pad 16 is soft and elastic, which can improve the comfort when wearing the back and avoid discomfort caused by the hard clamp arm. The elastic bridge arm 3 is made of medical-grade nickel-titanium memory alloy plate, which is bent into shape in one piece. Its own elasticity can maintain the basic clamping force of the clamp arm on the auricle, making it less likely to fall off after wearing. At the same time, the elastic memory alloy has stable rebound performance, and the clamping force will not easily loosen after long-term use, resulting in a longer service life.

[0021] In this solution, the acupressure unit 5, independently set in each mounting hole 4, allows for independent adjustment of the pressure depth and stimulation intensity for individual ear acupoints. This adapts to the different tolerance levels of different users to stimulation at different locations, meeting personalized physiotherapy needs. The overall design uses a clip-on structure instead of traditional adhesive tape, avoiding skin allergies caused by long-term adhesive tape application. Wearing and removing the tape is more convenient, and it can be reused. The adjustment component 11 adjusts the overall clamping tension on the auricle to adapt to different ear sizes. Combined with the basic elasticity of the elastic bridge arm 3, it improves the fit and comfort of wearing the tape. The overall structure is reasonably designed, flexible and convenient to adjust, and has better adaptability, better meeting the needs of long-term ear acupressure physiotherapy in the process of myopia prevention and control.

[0022] The acupoint pressing unit 5 includes a threaded sleeve 6 fixed in the mounting hole 4. An adjusting screw 7 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 6. A medical silicone contact 8 is fixedly connected to the front end of the adjusting screw 7. The rear end of the adjusting screw 7 protrudes outside the mounting hole 4 and is provided with a knob 9 for manual turning. A magnetic therapy component is provided on the inner side of the medical silicone contact 8.

[0023] In addition, the magnetic therapy component includes a spherical magnetic block 10 disposed inside the medical silicone contact 8, and a fixing groove 19 is provided at the end of the adjusting screw 7 away from the knob 9, and the spherical magnetic block 10 is embedded in the fixing groove 19.

[0024] The working principle of the acupoint pressing unit 5: When it is necessary to adjust the stimulation intensity of a certain ear acupoint individually, simply turn the corresponding knob 9. The knob 9 drives the adjusting screw 7 to rotate along the threaded sleeve 6, which in turn drives the medical silicone contact 8 to move back and forth, thereby changing the pressing depth of the medical silicone contact 8 on the corresponding ear acupoint. This allows for independent adjustment of the stimulation intensity of a single ear acupoint. The operation is convenient and can be adjusted directly without removing the device. At the same time, the spherical magnetic block 10 can also provide additional magnetic therapy stimulation in conjunction with the pressing, enhancing the overall physiotherapy effect. The medical silicone contact 8 is soft in texture and will not excessively irritate the skin around the ear acupoint, thus improving the pressing comfort.

[0025] It should be noted that the surface of the medical silicone contact 8 is convex with rounded edges, which further improves the smoothness of contact with the skin of the auricle, avoids sharp edges from scratching the skin, and makes it safer to use.

[0026] It should also be noted that during the pressure adjustment process, the pressure depth should be adjusted according to the user's tolerance: rotate each knob 9 in sequence (clockwise rotation increases the extension length, counterclockwise rotation decreases it), so that the silicone contact lightly touches the skin of the ear acupoint and then continue to rotate it in 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 turn, to produce a sore and distended feeling but without causing obvious pain.

[0027] Specific usage instructions: The user wears the front clip arm 1 on the auricle, aligning the silicone contacts with the acupoints such as Eye, Eye 1, Eye 2, and Liver. Adjust the pressure of each contact on the acupoint by turning the adjusting screw 7 until a continuous and stable soreness is produced. Adjust the adjusting component 11 on the back clip arm 2 to ensure that the clip is stable and does not slip off. It is recommended to wear it for 30 minutes to 2 hours each time, 2-3 times a day, alternating between ears. The clip can be removed for cleaning and disinfection between uses. Each course of treatment is 7-10 days. After 3 courses of treatment, rest for 1 week.

[0028] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 This embodiment further explains the first embodiment, the difference being that the overall clamping tension adjustment structure is optimized.

[0029] Specifically, the adjustment assembly 11 includes an adjustment groove 12, which is located on the inner side of the back clamp 2 that fits against the back of the auricle. A clamping block 13 that slides longitudinally along the groove is installed in the adjustment groove 12. An adjustment bolt 14 is rotatably connected to the side of the clamping block 13 near the adjustment groove 12. The adjustment bolt 14 is threadedly connected to the back clamp 2 via a nut.

[0030] The specific adjustment principle is as follows: Tightening the adjusting bolt 14 will cause the clamping block 13 to extend outward along the adjusting groove 12, so that the clamping block 13 is pushed towards the back of the ear until the clip is stably worn on the ear without slipping. Conversely, by twisting the adjusting bolt 14 in the opposite direction to retract the clamping block 13, the clamping force can be reduced, which can be adapted to smaller ear sizes. The adjustment process is simple and convenient.

[0031] The surface of the pressing block 13 that contacts the back of the auricle is provided with an elastic sponge pad 17. The elastic sponge pad 17 is soft and elastic, which can buffer the hard pressure of the pressing block 13 on the back of the auricle, improve the comfort of wearing for a long time, and avoid pain caused by local pressure.

[0032] It should be noted that a limiting rod 15 is fixed on the side of the clamping block 13 near the adjusting groove 12. There are two limiting rods 15. The limiting rods 15 are slidably sleeved with the back clamping arm 2. The two limiting rods 15 can restrict the sliding direction of the clamping block 13, prevent the clamping block 13 from deflecting as the adjusting bolt 14 rotates, and improve the stability of the movement of the clamping block 13.

[0033] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the term "comprising" or any other variation thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
