[0002] Auricular acupressure is a unique external treatment method in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with a long history, reliable efficacy, and wide application. Auricular acupressure involves applying hard, smooth medicinal seeds or pills to acupoints on the ear to stimulate corresponding points. It is simple to perform, non-invasive, and highly safe, belonging to the category of natural therapies. Auricular acupoints are connected to the meridians and organs of the entire body. The auricle contains numerous nerves, including the auditory nerve, auriculotemporal nerve, lesser occipital nerve, and sympathetic nerves. Stimulating auricular acupoints based on syndrome differentiation can regulate the balance of Qi, blood, Yin, and Yang in the internal organs, thus preventing and treating diseases.

[0003] Currently, auricular acupuncture treatment requires the use of instruments such as probes, tweezers, and scraping boards. These instruments play different roles in the treatment process. However, the current practice of changing instruments at each step of the treatment is time-consuming, laborious, and inefficient. Therefore, improvements and development are needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0017] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples: It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. shown in the accompanying drawings are only for the purpose of assisting those skilled in the art in understanding and reading the content disclosed in the specification, and are not intended to limit the conditions under which the present invention can be implemented. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportions, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and purposes that the present invention can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the present invention.

[0018] Meanwhile, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" used in this specification are only for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered as within the scope of implementation of this utility model.

[0019] Example 1, combined with Figures 1 to 7As shown, this embodiment provides an auricular acupuncture treatment device, including a handle, a blade assembly rotatably connected to the handle via a pivot for folding toward the handle, and a blade assembly unfolding from the handle. The blade assembly includes a probe 10, a scraping board 13, a fixator 11, tweezers 12, and a blood-proof needle 14 arranged sequentially along the axis of the pivot. The probe 10, scraping board 13, fixator 11, tweezers 12, and blood-proof needle 14 are all rotatably connected to the handle via a pivot.

[0020] In auricular acupuncture, the probe 10 helps the doctor accurately locate sensitive points or acupoints on the ear and stimulates these points with gentle pressing or rotating motions. Gently massaging different areas of the ear with the scraping board 13 promotes blood circulation, relieves ear tension, and helps relax the mind and body. Tweezers 12 are mainly used to pick up and place ear patches or small granular medications onto specific acupoints on the ear. With the help of tweezers, pressure can be applied more precisely to stimulate auricular acupoints. Anti-blood needles 14 (also known as ear acupuncture, ear acupoint needles, etc.) are mainly used to stimulate specific acupoints on the ear to achieve therapeutic effects.

[0021] In this embodiment, the fixator 11 includes a rod and a seat 1101 disposed on the rod. The seat 1101 has a pressing surface that conforms to the contour of the ear. The seat 1101 is hemispherical, and the cross-section of the hemispherical seat 1101 forms the pressing surface. In addition, a groove 1102 is provided at the axis of the hemispherical seat 1101. The groove 1102 is used to accommodate acupoints. The groove 1102 is also hemispherical. The pressing surface abuts against the auricle. When the rod is pushed forward, the pressing surface presses against the ear patch (such as a vaccaria seed patch), fixing it to the acupoint, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the ear patch and making the operation more convenient.

[0022] In this embodiment, a bend is formed near the base 1101 on the rod, causing a displacement between the base 1101 and the axis of the rod. After the bend, the axis of the rod forms a certain angle α, which can be set to 45°, so that the axis of the base 1101 and the axis of the rod form a 45° angle. During auricular acupuncture treatment, the angled base 1101 makes it easier to reach hard-to-reach areas, ensuring accurate positioning of the auricular acupoints that need stimulation. In addition, the angled design allows the operator to operate with more natural gestures, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the operation, which in turn helps to achieve a more effective treatment effect and increases the operational flexibility of the fixator 11.

[0023] In this embodiment, the tool assembly includes a blade body 8, a probe 10, a scraping board 13, a retainer 11, tweezers 12, and a blood-proof needle 14, all connected to the handle via the blade body 8. An arc-shaped groove 801 is formed on the blade body 8, and a pivot hole 806 is provided on the blade body 8 corresponding to a pivot, with the pivot rotatably positioned within the pivot hole 806. The probe 10, scraping board 13, retainer 11, tweezers 12, and blood-proof needle 14 are detachably connected to the blade body 8, allowing for the separation of these components from the handle for sterilization or replacement of certain parts, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the instrument and reducing costs.

[0024] In this embodiment, the probe 10, scraping board 13, fixator 11, tweezers 12, and anti-bleeding needle 14 are respectively connected to the blade body 8. Therefore, there are multiple blade bodies 8, which are arranged sequentially along the axis of the pivot. To achieve a rotatable connection between adjacent blade bodies 8, a transition structure is provided between adjacent blade bodies 8. The transition structure allows adjacent blade bodies 8 to be rotatably connected. The transition structure leaves a certain distance between adjacent blade bodies 8 and between the probe 10, scraping board 13, fixator 11, tweezers 12, and anti-bleeding needle 14, so that the probe 10, scraping board 13, fixator 11, tweezers 12, and anti-bleeding needle 14 can rotate without being obstructed by adjacent instruments, thereby making the rotation of the probe 10, scraping board 13, fixator 11, tweezers 12, and anti-bleeding needle 14 more flexible.

[0025] In this embodiment, the adapter structure includes a rotating ring 804 and a limiting ring 807. The rotating ring 804 and the limiting ring 807 protrude from the blade body 8. The rotating ring 804 has a rotating groove 805. The limiting ring 807 is rotatably disposed in the rotating groove 805 to achieve the connection between two adjacent blade bodies 8. Both the rotating ring 804 and the limiting ring 807 are circular structures, and the holes provided are coaxially arranged with the shaft hole 806. The pivot is sleeved in the hole and the shaft hole 806, so that the tool assembly rotates around the central axis of the pivot. This creates a gap between the blade bodies to allow the probe 10, the scraping board 13, the retainer 11, the tweezers 12, and the anti-blood needle 14 to pass each other, thus making the rotation of the probe 10, the scraping board 13, the retainer 11, the tweezers 12, and the anti-blood needle 14 more flexible.

[0026] In this embodiment, the handle includes two opposing outer shells 1 and a shell top 7 sandwiched between the two outer shells 1. The two opposing outer shells 1 are connected by a pivot, which includes a main spindle pin 4 and a main spindle pin 5 that cooperate with each other. The outer shell 1 has a first groove 101 corresponding to the tightening end of the main spindle pin 4 and the main spindle pin 5. The tightening end of the main spindle pin 4 and the main spindle pin 5 is embedded in the first groove 101. The opposing surfaces of the two outer shells 1 have a second groove 102. A bearing 6 is rotatably provided in the second groove 102. There are two bearings 6, which are respectively sleeved on the main spindle pin 4 and the main spindle pin 5. The probe 10, scraping board 13, fixer 11, tweezers 12, and anti-blood needle 14 have shaft holes 806 that are fitted onto the pivot, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the tool assembly and the handle. The outer shell 1 and the shell top 7 are connected by a locking member 3. The locking member 3 can be a locking bolt. The locking bolt is engaged with the threaded hole of the shell top 7 to realize the locking connection between the outer shell 1 and the shell top 7.

[0027] In this embodiment, the two outer shells 1 and the shell top 7 are assembled to form a storage cavity 2 for accommodating the knife assembly. The storage cavity 2 is used to accommodate the probe 10, the scraping board 13, the fixator 11, the tweezers 12, and the anti-blood needle 14. This can effectively reduce the overall space occupied, facilitate the folding and storage of the knife assembly, improve the multifunctionality of the treatment instrument, thereby meeting the needs of the operator, and also reduce the contact between the knife assembly and external objects, thereby avoiding damage to the knife assembly.

[0028] In this embodiment, the handle corresponds to the tool assembly and has a rotating shaft 9. The tool assembly has an arc-shaped groove 801 corresponding to the rotating shaft 9. The rotating shaft 9 is rotatably disposed in the arc-shaped groove 801. The tool assembly rotates around a pivot to move the rotating shaft 9 along the arc-shaped groove 801. The rotating shaft 9 is arranged parallel to the pivot, and the arc-shaped groove 801 is the running trajectory of the rotating shaft 9. Its structural shape is half a circle. The arc-shaped groove 801 is opened on each tool with the pivot as the center. When each tool rotates around the central axis of the pivot, the rotating shaft 9 moves along the arc-shaped groove 801, thereby making the rotation of each tool more stable.

[0029] In this embodiment, to ensure the normal use of each tool, a locking structure is connected to the arc-shaped groove 801. The locking structure and the arc-shaped groove 801 form a space to restrict the movement of the tool assembly. The rotating shaft 9 conforms to the shape of the formed space. When the tool assembly is in the unfolded or closed state, the rotating shaft 9 is located in the space. The locking structure includes an elastic arm 803, which is elastically connected to the arc-shaped groove 801. A certain gap is left between the elastic arm 803 and the groove wall of the arc-shaped groove 801 to allow the rotating shaft 9 to pass through. The rotating shaft 9 is connected to one of the outer shells 1 and extends to the other outer shell 1. The two ends of the arc-shaped groove 801 correspond to the unfolded and closed states of the tool assembly, respectively. The elastic arm 803 is designed as an elastic structure and forms through holes 802 (the space mentioned above) at both ends of the arc groove 801 to accommodate the rotating shaft 9. The inner diameter of the through hole 802 matches the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 9, thereby confining the rotating shaft 9 within the through hole 802, thereby limiting the rotation of the appliance and ensuring its normal use.

[0030] In this embodiment, two elastic arms 803 are provided, and the two elastic arms 803 are disposed opposite to each other on the handle. A certain distance is left between the two elastic arms 803 to allow the rotating shaft 9 to pass through. The distance between the two elastic arms 803 is arranged near the central axis of the through hole 802. The appliance rotates around the central axis of the pivot and is elastically engaged into the through hole 802 through the opening between the two elastic arms 803, thereby limiting the rotation of the appliance and ensuring its normal use.

[0031] In another preferred embodiment of this invention, to ensure that the rotating shaft 9 enters the through hole 802, the elastic arm 803 is provided with a guide surface. The rotating shaft 9 rests against the elastic arm 803, and under the action of the guide surface, the rotating shaft 9 passes through and enters the space. The guide surface is arc-shaped and is located at the contact point between the elastic arm 803 and the rotating shaft 9. When the rotating shaft 9 enters or exits the through hole 802, the guide surface facilitates the entry and exit of the rotating shaft 9.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the operator holds the handle and needs to use the instrument, such as the fixator 11, the operator rotates the fixator 11. At this time, the fixator 11 rotates around the pivot, and the rotating shaft 9 moves along the arc groove 801. When the fixator 11 is unfolded to the maximum angle, the rotating shaft 9 enters the through hole 802 through the opening between the two elastic arms 803, thereby unfolding the fixator 11 for the operator to use. After use, the fixator 11 rotates around the pivot, and the rotating shaft 9 enters the through hole 802 again through the opening between the two elastic arms 803, thereby storing the fixator 11 in the storage cavity. This facilitates the folding and storage of the cutting tool assembly, improves the multifunctionality of the treatment instrument, and also improves the operator's work efficiency.

[0033] Many other changes and modifications can be made without departing from the concept and scope of this utility model. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments, and the scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims.
