Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cupping machine technology, specifically to a cupping jar. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, cupping machines can achieve mechanical effects. Specifically, the cups are placed on the patient's back manually or mechanically, and the negative pressure adsorption device connected to the cups is activated. The negative pressure acts on the skin surface, causing local blood vessels to dilate and blood flow to increase, thereby promoting blood circulation, accelerating the excretion of metabolic products, and helping to relieve muscle fatigue and pain.

[0003] The traditional cupping therapy is called fire cupping because when fire cupping is performed, a fire source (such as an alcohol cotton ball) is lit, and then the fire source (such as an alcohol cotton ball) is removed from the cup, causing the air in the cup to expand due to heat. After the cup is quickly placed on the skin, the temperature inside the cup gradually decreases, the air cools and contracts, and the air pressure inside the cup decreases, forming a negative pressure.

[0004] Traditional cupping uses negative pressure generated by a fire source, so the cups feel warm to the touch when they come into contact with the skin during the cupping process. The cups provide a warm and comfortable feeling to the user. However, the working principle of cupping jars is different from that of fire cupping. They do not have a heat source. When cupping jars come into direct contact with the user's skin, the cold cups will directly stimulate the user's skin and cause discomfort. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a cupping jar that can improve the comfort of users when cupping.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] A cupping jar includes a shell, a mounting groove inside the shell, and a heating element for heating the shell inside the mounting groove.

[0008] As described above, the cupping jar has a jar opening for direct contact with human skin, and the mounting groove is located around the jar opening.

[0009] As described above, the cupping jar has multiple mounting slots and heating components, which are spaced apart along the periphery of the jar opening.

[0010] As described above, in the cupping jar, the mounting groove and the heating element are equidistantly distributed along the periphery of the jar opening.

[0011] As described above, the cupping jar has an opening with a contact surface for contacting the skin, and the contact surface is an arc surface.

[0012] The cupping jar described above has 1-8 heating elements.

[0013] As described above, the cupping jar body includes an upper shell and a lower shell connected to the upper shell. The mounting groove is provided on the lower shell, and the upper shell is provided with a clearance groove. The heating component is partially located in the clearance groove.

[0014] As described above, the cupping jar body has an additional cavity on the upper shell, and the cavity is connected to a negative pressure generating device.

[0015] As described above, the cupping jar body has an extension on the lower shell adjacent to the jar opening, extending away from the jar opening. One end of the extension away from the jar opening is connected to an air outlet surface, and the air outlet surface has a plurality of air outlet holes, which are connected to the cavity.

[0016] As described above, in the cupping jar, the air outlet is located inside the upper housing, and the extension is fixed by the upper housing.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] The heating element heats the shell to a comfortable temperature. After the shell is heated, the cupping jar is placed on the skin manually or mechanically to perform the cupping procedure. This avoids the cupping jar being cold when it first comes into contact with the skin, reducing irritation to the user's skin and optimizing the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, all connections / linkages involved in the patent do not simply refer to direct contact between components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 A cupping jar includes a shell 1, wherein the shell 1 is provided with a mounting groove 121 and a heating element 2 for heating the shell 1 is provided in the mounting groove 121.

[0032] Before use, the heating element can heat the shell to a comfortable temperature. Then, the cupping jar is placed on the skin manually or mechanically to perform the cupping procedure.

[0033] Compared to existing technologies where the cold cupping jar directly contacts the skin, causing some irritation to the user, especially during mechanical operation, the initial contact of the jar with the skin can lead to a significant shift in the acupoints where cupping is intended, especially if the user reacts strongly or trembles, thus affecting the cupping effect. In this embodiment, the jar is preheated by the heating element 2 before use, and then the warm jar is inverted and placed on the user's acupoints. The initial contact of the jar with the skin is non-irritating, reducing the likelihood of the user trembling due to the coldness of the jar, thereby minimizing the possibility of acupoint shift and preventing any impact on the therapeutic effect of cupping.

[0034] Furthermore, integrating the heating element 2 into the housing 1 reduces the risk of burns to users due to the heating element 2 becoming loose or falling off during use, thus extending the product's lifespan.

[0035] Specifically, the heating component 2 is a common heating element, such as a mica heating plate, a MCH ceramic heating element, or a silicone rubber heating plate.

[0036] Specifically, a temperature sensor can be installed on the housing 1 to monitor the temperature of the housing 1 in real time.

[0037] Specifically, the mounting groove 121 serves to house the heating component 2 and also helps to fix the relative position of the heating component 2 to the housing 1. Further, the mounting groove 121 ensures that the heating component 2 does not shift position during the movement of the tank.

[0038] In one embodiment, the housing 1 has a can opening 3 for direct contact with human skin, and the mounting groove 121 is disposed around the can opening 3. This arrangement allows the heat from the heating element 2 to be transferred more directly and evenly to all parts of the can, avoiding local overheating and improving heating efficiency.

[0039] Compared to placing the mounting groove 121 in a position far from the cup opening 3, the heating element 2 in the mounting groove 121 needs to generate more heat to ensure a suitable temperature is transferred through the shell 1 to the cup opening 3. Although the user's comfort during cupping is still guaranteed, it will result in a lot of energy loss for the heating element 2. In this embodiment, the mounting groove 121 is located around the cup opening 3, which means that the heating element 2 is also located around the cup opening 3. This can reduce the energy loss of the heating element 2. Moreover, compared to the heating element 2 directly contacting the human body, the shell 1 provides an isolation between the human skin and the heating element 2, which can prevent the heating element 2 from burning the skin, reduce safety hazards, and make the product safer and more reliable to use.

[0040] Furthermore, the heating center of the heating element 2 is located on the side of the heating element 2 near the can opening 3.

[0041] In one embodiment, there are multiple mounting slots 121 and heating components 2, which are distributed at intervals along the periphery of the can opening 3.

[0042] In the above embodiments, for a cup with a small diameter (e.g., 30mm-60mm) at the mouth of the cup, if only one mounting groove 121 and the heating element 2 are provided around the mouth of the cup, the temperature between the points at the mouth of the cup is basically balanced under the transmission action of the shell 1. When using the cup, the shell 1 will not bring the user a particularly strong feeling of coldness or discomfort. However, when performing cupping on certain acupoints, a cup with a larger diameter (e.g., 90mm) at the mouth of the cup is used. If only one heating element 2 is installed, there will be a certain temperature difference between the points at the mouth of the cup. In order to solve this technical problem, multiple mounting grooves 121 and heating elements 2 are provided, and the mounting grooves 121 and heating elements 2 are distributed at intervals along the periphery of the mouth of the cup. This can reduce the temperature difference between the points at the mouth of the cup, improve the temperature uniformity at the mouth of the cup, and enhance the user's experience.

[0043] In one embodiment, the mounting groove 121 and the heating element 2 are equidistantly distributed around the circumference of the cup opening 3, which enables the heat from the heating element 2 to be transferred more evenly to the cup opening 3, avoiding local overheating or uneven heating of the cup opening 3, improving heating efficiency, and providing users with a more comfortable cupping experience.

[0044] In one embodiment, the jar opening 3 is provided with a contact surface for contacting the skin, and the contact surface is curved. The curved surface better conforms to the natural curves of human muscles and skin, effectively reducing the gap between the jar and the skin, improving the seal during cupping, ensuring stable negative pressure, and enhancing the cupping effect. Furthermore, compared to a flat or angular surface where the jar opening 3 contacts the skin, the curved surface exerts less pressure on the skin, reducing local pressure on the skin, avoiding scratches or pressure sores, and lowering the risk of skin damage. This makes the cupping process more comfortable, especially suitable for prolonged cupping or for areas with sensitive skin.

[0045] In one embodiment, the number of heating components 2 is 1-8. The number of heating components can be reasonably selected and distributed according to the size of the cupping jar and the usage requirements. This can effectively avoid local overheating or uneven heating, improve heating efficiency, provide users with a more comfortable cupping experience, and help to better exert the therapeutic effect of cupping.

[0046] In one embodiment, the housing 1 includes an upper housing 11 and a lower housing 12 connected to the upper housing 11. The mounting groove 121 is provided on the lower housing 12. The upper housing 11 is provided with a clearance groove 111. The heating component 2 is partially located in the clearance groove 111.

[0047] The recessed groove 111 provides a space for the wiring of the heating element 2, and the heating element 2 is partially located within the recessed groove 111, facilitating wiring during installation. During installation, the heating element 2 can be installed into the mounting slot 121 via the recessed groove 111, with the wires on the heating element 2 extending out through the recessed groove 111. Furthermore, when removing the heating element 2, the wires can be easily pulled out through the recessed groove 111, eliminating the need for extensive disassembly of the entire device, significantly improving maintenance efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

[0048] In one embodiment, the upper housing 11 is further provided with a cavity 112, and the cavity 112 is connected to a negative pressure generating device.

[0049] The negative pressure generating device is used to adsorb the gas in the cavity 112. The cupping device is placed on the user's skin and activated. The negative pressure generating device adsorbs the gas in the cavity 112 and the cupping operation begins.

[0050] Specifically, the negative pressure generating device may be a pipe connected to a negative pressure pump.

[0051] In one embodiment, the lower housing 12 is provided with an extension 122 that extends away from the can opening 3 at a location adjacent to the can opening 3. One end of the extension 122 that is away from the can opening 3 is connected to an air outlet surface 123. The air outlet surface 123 is provided with a plurality of air outlet holes 1231, and the air outlet holes 1231 are connected to the cavity 112.

[0052] The extension 122 is provided so that when cupping is performed, the skin bulges towards the air outlet 123 under the suction of negative pressure. The extension 122 provides a certain space for the skin to bulge. Furthermore, the air outlet 123 can limit the maximum height of the bulge to avoid excessive pressure that could damage the skin.

[0053] Specifically, the extension 122 is flared.

[0054] Specifically, the number of air vents 1231 on the can body with a smaller diameter of the can opening 3 (e.g., 30mm-60mm) can be 1-3, and the number of air vents 1231 on the can body with a larger diameter of the can opening 3 (e.g., 90mm) can be 2-16. Specifically, the air vents 1231 are arranged in a quincunx pattern.

[0055] In one embodiment, the air outlet 123 is located inside the upper housing 11, and the extension 122 is fixed by the upper housing 11 to prevent the extension 122 from shifting position during cupping operations, thereby further fixing the extension 122.

[0056] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
