Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an auxiliary device for acupuncture in children. Background Technology

[0002] Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that uses tiny acupuncture needles inserted into specific acupoints on the body to regulate qi and blood and treat diseases.

[0003] The following problems currently exist when performing acupuncture on children:

[0004] 1. Children often have a fear of needles, and may struggle during acupuncture due to visual fear, which can affect the accuracy of needle insertion.

[0005] 2. After the needle is inserted into the patient's body, it needs to remain in place for a period of time. When children feel pain, they are prone to struggling, which may cause the needle to shift due to the struggle, thus affecting the treatment effect.

[0006] 3. Since the depth of needle insertion needs to be adjusted according to different acupoints, the operator's subjective judgment is required to control the depth during actual operation. This can easily lead to situations where the needle is inserted too deeply or too shallowly, thus affecting the therapeutic effect of acupuncture. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide an auxiliary device for acupuncture in children, which conceals the needles to minimize the struggles caused by visual fear in children and improve their compliance during acupuncture.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] An auxiliary device for pediatric acupuncture, covering the outside of a needle, includes a protective cover covering the outside of the needle, a control component detachably fitted onto the outside of the needle with both ends passing through the sidewalls of the protective cover and extending to the outside of the protective cover, and an adhesive component movably fitted onto the lower end face of the protective cover; the control component includes a needle mounting seat detachably installed on the outer side of the top of the needle and slidably fitted inside the protective cover, and a limiting slider fixed to one side of the needle mounting seat with its movable end passing through the protective cover and extending to the outside of the protective cover; a conical groove is provided on one side of the protective cover, and the limiting slider is slidably disposed in the middle of the conical groove.

[0010] More preferably, the adhesive assembly includes a mounting ring movably fitted onto the bottom of the protective cover, an adhesive ring fixed to the bottom of the mounting ring, and a release film covering the upper surface of the adhesive ring.

[0011] More preferably, the mounting ring is threaded to the bottom of the protective cover.

[0012] More preferably, the outer surface of the protective cover above the conical slide groove is further provided with a limiting component for fixing the limiting slider; the limiting component includes a hinge seat fixed to the outer side of the protective cover and located above the conical slide groove, a rotating plate hinged to the hinge seat, and a limiting block fixed to the inner side of the rotating plate; the outer surface of the limiting slider is provided with a limiting slot that cooperates with and is fixed to the limiting block.

[0013] More preferably, a handle is also fixed to the outer side of the rotating plate.

[0014] More preferably, the outer surface of the protective cover is provided with scale lines along its height direction.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, a protective cover with needles is first attached to the acupoints of the child patient. Then, the needles are pushed out or retracted by pushing the limiting slider to perform acupuncture on the acupoints. During the entire acupuncture process, the part of the needles exposed on the outside of the child's acupoints is hidden inside the protective cover, thereby reducing the child's visual fear of the needles, reducing the struggle caused by visual fear, improving the accuracy of needle insertion when performing acupuncture on children, and improving the child's compliance during acupuncture.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, after the limiting slider is pushed down along the conical groove and the needle tip is inserted into the child's acupoint, the device with the needle is fixed around the patient's acupoint under the action of the adhesive ring. When the child struggles due to pain, the device and needle attached to the child's skin will move with the child's movement, thereby minimizing the occurrence of device displacement or detachment due to the device being fixed to the child's skin when the child struggles. This reduces the displacement and detachment of the needle caused by device displacement or detachment, thereby improving the treatment effect.

[0018] 3. In this utility model, the limiting slider can be slid to the corresponding scale in the conical groove according to the required needle insertion depth, so as to avoid the situation where the needle is inserted too deeply or too shallowly due to subjective judgment of the needle insertion depth, thereby improving the therapeutic effect of acupuncture.

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] An auxiliary device for pediatric acupuncture, covering the outside of a needle 5, includes a protective cover 1 covering the outside of the needle 5, a control component 2 detachably fitted outside the needle 5 with both ends passing through the side wall of the protective cover 1 and extending to the outside of the protective cover 1, and an adhesive component 3 movably fitted on the lower end face of the protective cover 1; the control component 2 includes a needle mounting base 21 detachably installed on the top outside of the needle 5 and slidably fitted inside the protective cover 1, and a limiting slider 22 fixed to one side of the needle mounting base 21 with its movable end passing through the protective cover 1 and extending to the outside of the protective cover 1; a conical groove 11 is provided on one side of the protective cover 1, and the middle part of the limiting slider 22 is slidably disposed in the conical groove 11.

[0029] In use, first push the limiting slider 22 to the bottom of the conical groove 11. Then, hold the middle of the needle 5 and insert the rear end of the needle 5 into the needle mounting base 21. Next, push the limiting slider 22 to the top of the conical groove 11. At this time, the tip of the needle 5 is inside the protective cover 1. Place the device with the needle 5 against the acupoint where the child needs acupuncture. According to the depth of the needle 5, push the limiting slider 22 down the conical groove 11 by the corresponding distance. The needle mounting base 21, which is fixed to the limiting slider 22, will move the needle 5 downward, so that the tip of the needle 5 extends out of the bottom of the protective cover 1 and is inserted into the corresponding acupoint of the child. After the needle 5 stays for the corresponding time, push the limiting slider 22 to the top of the conical groove 11. At this time, the needle mounting base 21, which is fixed to the limiting slider 22, will move the needle 5 upward, so that the tip of the needle 5 is inside the protective cover 1. Then, remove the device from the child's skin.

[0030] As a possible implementation of this solution, preferably, the adhesive component 3 includes an installation ring 31 movably fitted onto the bottom of the protective cover 1, an adhesive ring 32 fixed to the bottom of the installation ring 31, and a release film 33 covering the upper surface of the adhesive ring 32. Before use, the installation ring 31 needs to be installed onto the bottom of the protective cover 1. After the needle 5 is installed into the needle mounting seat 21, the release film 33 is peeled off from the adhesive ring 32. Then, the device is pressed against the acupoints on the child's body. At this time, under the action of the adhesive ring 32, the installation ring 31 and the protective cover 1 are both fixed to the acupoints on the child's body by adhesive. After the acupuncture is completed, the protective cover 1 is shaken to peel the adhesive ring 32 off the child's skin. Finally, the installation ring 31 is removed from the bottom of the protective cover 1 and discarded. In this device, the adhesive component 3 is a disposable consumable and is discarded after use.

[0031] As a possible implementation of this solution, preferably, the mounting ring 31 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the protective cover 1; the mounting ring 31 can be installed at the bottom of the protective cover 1 by screwing it to the bottom of the protective cover 1, and the adhesive component 3 can be removed by screwing the mounting ring 31 out of the bottom of the protective cover 1, which is convenient and quick and can improve the efficiency of acupuncture.

[0032] As a possible implementation of this solution, preferably, the outer surface of the protective cover 1 above the conical slide groove 11 is further provided with a limiting component 4 for fixing the limiting slider 22; the limiting component 4 includes a hinge seat 41 fixed to the outer side of the protective cover 1 and located above the conical slide groove 11, a rotating plate 42 hinged to the hinge seat 41, and a limiting block 43 fixed to the inner side of the rotating plate 42; the outer surface of the limiting slider 22 is provided with a limiting groove 221 that cooperates with and is fixed to the limiting block 43; when this device is not in use, the limiting slider 22 can be fixed to the outer surface of the protective cover 1 above the conical slide groove 11. Push the slider 22 to the top of the conical groove 11, then rotate the rotating plate 42 until the limiting block 43 is aligned with the limiting groove 221, and then press it inward so that the limiting block 43 is locked in the limiting groove 221. At this time, the limiting slider 22 is limited, thereby avoiding the needle 5 from moving down or the needle tip extending from the bottom of the protective cover 1 to the outside due to accidental contact with the limiting slider 22 when not in use. This reduces the risk of the needle tip scratching children or operators and improves the safety of using this device.

[0033] As a possible implementation of this solution, preferably, a handle 421 is also fixed on the outer side of the rotating plate 42; the handle 421 facilitates the disengagement of the limiting block 43 from the limiting slot 221 when the device needs to be used.

[0034] As a possible implementation of this solution, preferably, the outer surface of the protective cover 1 is provided with scale lines 12 along its height direction; the scale lines 12 are provided to facilitate the reading of the depth of needle insertion 5, thereby improving the control of the depth of needle tip insertion 5, and thus minimizing the impact on the treatment effect caused by needle tip insertion being too deep or too shallow.

[0035] The working principle of this device is as follows:

[0036] First, rotate the mounting ring 31 to the bottom of the protective cover 1, then hold the handle 421 to disengage the limiting block 43 from the limiting slot 221, then slide the limiting slider 22 to the lowest end of the conical groove 11, insert the needle 5 into the needle mounting base 21, and then slide the limiting slider 22 to the top of the conical groove 11.

[0037] The second step is to tear off the isolation film 33, attach the adhesive ring 32 around the acupoint of the child patient, and then slide the limiting slider 22 to the scale corresponding to the conical groove 11 according to the required depth of the needle 5 to perform acupuncture. At this time, the tip of the needle 5 extends from the bottom of the protective cover 1 and inserts into the corresponding acupoint of the child.

[0038] Third step: After the needle 5 has stayed for the corresponding time, push the limiting slider 22 upward to the top of the conical groove 11, then hold the protective cover 1 and shake it left and right to separate the adhesive ring 32 from the child patient's skin, and remove the device from the patient's skin. At this time, the acupuncture for the child patient is completed.

[0039] Fourth step, unscrew the mounting ring 31 from the protective cover 1 and discard it. Then push the limiting slider 22 downward to the bottom of the conical groove 11. Hold the middle of the needle 5 and remove the needle 5 from the needle mounting base 21 and discard it. Then push the limiting slider 22 upward to the top of the conical groove 11. Rotate the rotating plate 42 until the limiting block 43 is aligned with the limiting slot 221. Then press it inward to make the limiting block 43 lock into the limiting slot 221. At this time, the limiting slider 22 is limited.
