Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a massage appliance, in particular to a proportional body cun acupoint massage ruler. Background Art

[0002] The proportional body cun method, originated from *Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold for Emergencies*, is a commonly used measurement method for acupoint location in acupuncture in clinical practice. The proportional body cun method defines cun based on certain parts of the patient's own body surface as the unit of length for measuring acupoints. Clinically, finger-cun methods such as middle finger proportional cun, thumb proportional cun, and transverse finger proportional cun are mainly adopted. For example, 1 cun in the middle finger proportional cun method refers to the distance between the two横纹 heads on the medial side of the patient's middle finger when the middle segment is flexed, which can be used for straight measurement of acupoint location on the limbs and transverse measurement of acupoint location on the back; in thumb proportional cun method, the width of the patient's thumb joint is taken as 1 cun, which is mainly suitable for straight measurement of acupoint location on the limbs; for transverse finger proportional cun method, the patient is required to put together the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger, and based on the transverse line of the middle segment (second segment) of the middle finger, 1.5 cun is obtained when the index finger and middle finger are put together, etc. Since "cun" in the proportional body cun method is determined by the patient's own body, different people have different body proportions, so the length of "cun" varies on different people's bodies. The "cun" of a taller person is longer than that of a shorter person. Therefore, "cun" in the proportional body cun method has no specific numerical value, and cannot be conventionally converted into centimeters for measurement.

[0003] At present in clinical practice, every time nursing staff use the proportional body cun method to locate acupoints for patients, they must rely on the patient's assistance on site and select one of the above finger-cun methods to locate the patient's acupoints. When different nursing staff take over the work, they also need to repeat the on-site acupoint location with the proportional body cun method. Frequent acupoint location not only seriously consumes acupoint location time and causes emotional dissatisfaction of patients, but also affects the accuracy of acupoint location, thereby affecting the physiotherapy effect of subsequent acupressure or acupuncture. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a proportional body cun acupoint massage ruler, which can perform one-time accurate acupoint location for patients based on the proportional body cun method, without frequent acupoint location, and greatly reduces the time consumed for acupoint location. The technical solution adopted is as follows: A proportional body cun acupoint massage ruler, characterized by comprising a ruler body; the ruler body is in a shape of elongated strip sheet, the head of the ruler body is provided with a positioning point and a strip-shaped gap for a massage head to pass through, the strip-shaped gap is arranged along the length direction of the ruler body, and the center of the positioning point is on the axis of the strip-shaped gap; one side of the strip-shaped gap on the ruler body is provided with scales, and the other side of the strip-shaped gap on the ruler body is provided with an acupoint marking member.

[0005] Place the ruler flat on the patient's abdomen, using the location of the navel as the reference point. Align the positioning point with the navel and align the strip with the central axis of the navel. Then, based on the patient's specific body shape, locate the corresponding acupoints above and below the navel using the body measurement method, determine the specific location, and record the corresponding scale. This determines how many scales are equivalent to "1 cun" in the body measurement method. Next, based on the cun-position relationship of the acupoints in the body measurement method, calculate the corresponding scales for other acupoints. Mark the positions corresponding to the scales on the ruler using acupoint markers, thereby enabling precise acupoint location for the patient in one go.

[0006] After the acupoint markers are placed on the ruler, subsequent nursing staff can accurately locate the acupoints based on the position of the markers and the corresponding scale, and then perform corresponding acupuncture or acupoint massage on the patient without having to perform the acupoint location operation again. Each patient can have their own body-sized acupoint massage ruler. For nursing staff, the corresponding acupoints of the patient can be obtained by using the body-sized acupoint massage ruler held by different patients; and for patients, different nursing staff do not need to perform body-sized acupoint location again, which not only greatly reduces the time spent on acupoint location, but also avoids the impact of different acupoint location techniques on the accuracy of acupoint location.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the ruler body is made of rigid cardboard. In one specific embodiment, a thin film can be laminated onto the surface of the rigid cardboard to improve the waterproof performance of the ruler body.

After the acupoint is located, the rubber block or silicone block is manually moved to the position corresponding to the acupoint on the metal wire for marking. Due to the certain friction between the rubber block or silicone block and the metal wire, the slider itself does not move when stationary.

[0012] As another preferred embodiment of this utility model, the guide strip is a plastic strip integrally formed with the ruler body, and the slider is provided with a snap-fit, through which the slider is snapped onto the guide strip.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the body-sized acupoint massage ruler further includes at least one massage component, which is detachably mounted on the strip-shaped slit. After the acupoints are located and marked, the massage component can be directly installed on the strip-shaped slit, and the patient can receive acupoint massage therapy by pressing the massage component.

[0014] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the massage component includes a massage head, a cylindrical connecting rod, and a nut, the nut having an internal thread; the diameter of the cylindrical connecting rod is smaller than the strip-shaped gap, and the dimensions of the massage head and the nut are both larger than the gap; the massage head is located at the lower end of the cylindrical connecting rod, and the upper surface of the cylindrical connecting rod has an external thread matching the internal thread; the cylindrical connecting rod passes through the strip-shaped gap from the bottom of the ruler body upwards, and the nut is locked to the upper end of the cylindrical connecting rod. During assembly, the cylindrical connecting rod is passed through the strip-shaped gap of the ruler body from bottom to top, and then the nut is tightened and locked to the upper end of the cylindrical connecting rod, so that the massage head and the nut are respectively located on both sides of the ruler body, thereby fixing the massage component to the ruler body. In use, the ruler body is placed on the patient's body, so that the massage head contacts the patient's acupoints, and the caregiver presses the nut to perform acupoint massage on the patient.

[0015] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the nut includes a mushroom-shaped nut body, with a blind hole at the lower end of the mushroom-shaped nut body, and the blind hole having the internal thread circumferentially oriented. By making the nut non-penetrating and mushroom-shaped, it is more comfortable for caregivers to press the nut.

[0016] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the lower surface of the massage head is a smooth curved surface.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: This utility model relates to a body-based acupoint massage ruler. The ruler is placed flat on the patient's abdomen, with the navel as the reference point. The positioning point is aligned with the navel, and the strip-shaped slit is aligned with the navel's central axis. Then, based on the patient's specific body shape, corresponding acupoints above and below the navel are located using body-based cun measurement. The specific locations are determined, and the corresponding scale is recorded, i.e., determining how many scales are equivalent to "1 cun" in body-based cun measurement. Based on the cun-position relationship of acupoints in body-based cun measurement, the corresponding scales for other acupoints are calculated. The locations corresponding to these scales are marked on the ruler using acupoint markers, allowing for precise acupoint location in one operation. Subsequent caregivers can accurately locate the acupoints using the acupoint markers and corresponding scales on the ruler, performing acupuncture or acupoint massage without needing to perform the acupoint location operation again. This significantly reduces the time spent on acupoint location and avoids the impact of different caregivers' acupoint location techniques on accuracy. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments of the present invention, will provide further details.

[0021] Example 1, as Figure 1As shown, a body-sized acupoint massage ruler includes a ruler body 1 and at least one massage component 2. The ruler body 1 is a long, thin, rigid cardboard sheet. The head of the ruler body 1 is provided with a positioning point 3 and a strip-shaped slit 4 through which the massage head 201 can pass. The strip-shaped slit 4 is arranged along the length direction of the ruler body 1. The center of the positioning point 3 is located on the axis of the strip-shaped slit 4. The massage component 2 is detachably mounted on the strip-shaped slit 4. The ruler body 1 is provided with a scale on one side of the strip-shaped slit 4, and the ruler body 1 is provided with an acupoint marker 5 on the other side of the strip-shaped slit 4. In this embodiment, the acupoint marker 5 includes multiple self-adhesive stickers attached to the cardboard sheet.

[0022] Place ruler 1 flat on the patient's abdomen, using the location of the navel as the reference point. Align positioning point 3 with the navel and align the strip slit 4 with the midline of the navel. Then, based on the patient's specific body shape, locate the corresponding acupoints above and below the navel using the same body measurement method, determine their exact locations, and record the corresponding scale markings. This determines how many scale markings are equivalent to "1 cun" in the same body measurement method. Next, based on the cun-position relationship of acupoints in the same body measurement method, calculate the corresponding scale markings for other acupoints. Mark the locations corresponding to the scale markings on ruler 1 using acupoint markers, thus achieving precise acupoint location for the patient in one visit. The above-mentioned method of locating the corresponding acupoints above and below the navel using the same body measurement method refers to using the transverse finger same body measurement method, taking the Zhongwan acupoint (4 cun above the navel) or the Guanyuan acupoint (3 cun below the navel) as the reference acupoints, and determining the conversion relationship between the same body measurement method and scale markings by measuring the distance between the reference acupoint and the navel.

[0023] After the acupoint markers are placed on the ruler 1, subsequent nursing staff can accurately locate the acupoints based on the position of the markers and the corresponding scale on the ruler 1, and perform corresponding acupuncture or acupoint massage on the patient without needing to perform acupoint selection operations again. In this embodiment, after completing the acupoint selection and marking, the massage device 2 can be directly installed on the strip-shaped slit 4, and the patient can receive acupoint massage therapy by pressing the massage device 2. Figure 2As shown, the massage component 2 includes a massage head 201, a cylindrical connecting rod 202, and a nut 203. The nut 203 includes a mushroom-shaped nut body 2031, with a blind hole 2032 at the lower end of the mushroom-shaped nut body 2031. The blind hole 2032 has an internal thread in its circumference. The diameter of the cylindrical connecting rod 202 is smaller than that of the strip-shaped slit 4 to match. The dimensions of the massage head 201 and the nut 203 are both larger than the dimensions of the slit. The massage head 201 is located at the lower end of the cylindrical connecting rod 202, and the lower surface of the massage head 201 is a smooth curved surface. The upper surface of the cylindrical connecting rod 202 has an external thread that matches the internal thread. The cylindrical connecting rod 202 passes through the strip-shaped slit 4 from the bottom of the ruler 1, and the nut 203 is locked to the upper end of the cylindrical connecting rod 202. During assembly, the cylindrical connecting rod 202 is passed from the bottom of the ruler body 1 through the strip-shaped slot 4, and then the nut 203 is tightened and locked onto the upper end of the cylindrical connecting rod 202, so that the massage head 201 and the nut 203 are respectively on both sides of the ruler body 1, thereby fixing the massage component 2 onto the ruler body 1. In use, the ruler body 1 is placed on the patient's body, so that the massage head 201 contacts the patient's acupoints. The caregiver can then press the nut 203 to perform acupoint massage on the patient.

[0024] Example 2, as Figure 3 As shown, while all other parts are the same as in Embodiment 1, the difference lies in that: the ruler body 1' is a thin plastic sheet, and a guide strip 6 is provided on the ruler body 1' along its length direction; the guide strip 6 is a plastic strip integrally formed with the ruler body 1'; the acupoint marker 5' includes multiple plastic sliders, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the plastic slider 5' has a bayonet (not shown in the figure), and the plastic slider 5' is snapped onto the guide bar 6 through the bayonet.

[0025] Example 3, as Figure 5 As shown, while all other parts are the same as in Embodiment 2, the difference lies in that: the guide strip 6' is a metal wire, and the acupoint marker 5'' is a plurality of rubber blocks, which are fitted onto the guide strip 6'. After the acupoint is located, the rubber blocks 5'' are manually moved to the position corresponding to the acupoint on the guide strip 6' for marking. Due to the certain friction between the rubber blocks and the metal wire guide strip 6', the slider itself does not move when stationary. Of course, the rubber blocks 5'' can also be replaced with silicone blocks.
