Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a novel microcurrent therapy device for umbilical acupuncture. Background Technology

[0002] Electroacupuncture devices, as medical equipment combining traditional acupuncture with modern electronic technology, play an important role in the healthcare field. They stimulate acupoints by generating currents of specific frequencies, intensities, and waveforms to achieve therapeutic goals such as unblocking meridians, regulating qi and blood, and relieving pain and swelling. Compared to traditional acupuncture, electroacupuncture devices offer advantages such as ease of operation, adjustable parameters, and more stable treatment effects, thus finding widespread application in both clinical treatment and home healthcare. The navel, known as the Shenque acupoint in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is one of the most important acupoints on the body, closely related to the internal organs and meridians. Appropriate stimulation of the navel can regulate the flow of qi and blood and the functions of the internal organs, offering certain preventative and therapeutic effects for various diseases. Therefore, the demand for navel treatment using electroacupuncture devices is gradually increasing.

[0003] However, a significant problem exists with most electronic acupuncture devices currently on the market: they deliver excessively high currents, making them unsuitable for the navel area. The skin resistance at the navel is low, and its tolerance to current is relatively low. The current intensity output by ordinary electronic acupuncture devices is often too high for the navel; direct use may cause intense stinging sensations or even lead to adverse consequences such as skin burns. Utility Model Content

The specific technical solution is as follows: A novel microcurrent acupuncture treatment device for the navel includes a control module, a pulse output module, an electrode module, a transformer, and a power supply module; the control module includes a main control chip and an FPGA module. The FPGA module is connected to the main control chip and the pulse output module respectively; the electrode module is connected to the pulse output module; the transformer is connected to the pulse output module; and the power supply module is connected to the main control chip and the transformer respectively.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This invention connects the main control chip and the pulse output module via an FPGA module, enabling signal processing and transmission. The main control chip can then control the pulse output module, allowing for precise control of parameters such as the frequency and intensity of the output pulses. This control over the output current ensures that the current density remains within a safe threshold, effectively avoiding the tissue burns often caused by traditional devices.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. The embodiments of this utility model will now be described based on its overall structure.

[0021] Example 1 The figure shows a novel microcurrent acupuncture treatment device for the navel, comprising a control module, a pulse output module, an electrode module, a transformer, and a power supply module; the control module includes a main control chip and an FPGA module. The FPGA module is connected to the main control chip and the pulse output module respectively; the electrode module is connected to the pulse output module; the transformer is connected to the pulse output module; and the power supply module is connected to the main control chip and the transformer respectively.

[0022] Next, the working principle of this embodiment will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art can better understand this utility model: The main control chip is responsible for issuing basic control commands, and the FPGA module controls the output current of the pulse output module according to the commands of the main control chip.

[0023] The pulse output module receives signals from the FPGA module, outputs a pulse current signal, and transmits the signal to the electrode module. The output pulse current parameters can be adjusted according to the instructions of the control module.

[0024] The electrode module includes electrodes and connecting wires that are in direct contact with the navel (Shenque acupoint). It is responsible for transmitting the pulse current generated by the pulse output module to the navel area, so that the current can effectively act on the acupoint and achieve the effect of acupuncture treatment.

[0025] The transformer is used for voltage conversion and is connected to the pulse output module. It can convert the voltage provided by the power module into the appropriate voltage required by the pulse output module, ensuring that the pulse output module can work stably and normally, and providing stable power support for generating precise pulse current.

[0026] The power module provides power to the entire device, supplying the necessary electrical energy to the main control chip and the transformer, ensuring that the control module can operate smoothly and issue commands, while also ensuring that the transformer can perform voltage conversion normally, maintaining the normal operation of the entire device.

[0027] The power module provides power to the entire device, supplying energy to both the main control chip and the transformer. The main control chip, as the core of the control module, is responsible for generating basic control commands and sending them to the FPGA module. Based on the received commands, the FPGA module sends corresponding signals to the pulse output module, controlling the magnitude of the pulse current output. Upon receiving the signal from the FPGA module, the pulse output module outputs a pulse current signal and transmits the current to the navel area through a connected electrode module. The electrode module consists of electrodes that directly contact the navel and connecting wires, ensuring that the pulse current can accurately act on acupoints to achieve the acupuncture treatment effect. Simultaneously, the transformer, connected to the pulse output module, converts the voltage provided by the power module into the appropriate voltage required by the pulse output module, ensuring stable operation and enabling it to output precise pulse current signals. A current sensor continuously monitors the current magnitude and feeds the data back to the control module. The main control chip and FPGA module automatically adjust the current output based on the feedback data, ensuring that the current parameters are always within a safe and effective range, meeting treatment needs while guaranteeing safety.

[0028] The skin impedance at the navel (Shenque acupoint) is 1 / 5 to 1 / 10 that of the palm skin (approximately 500Ω vs 5kΩ). The minimum output current of traditional equipment (usually ≥5mA) will generate a current density exceeding the safety threshold (>50μA / mm²) at this point, which may cause tissue burns.

[0029] Example 2 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that it also includes an impedance analysis chip and a current sensor; the impedance analysis chip is connected to the main control chip; and the current sensor is connected to both the impedance analysis chip and the electrode module.

[0030] The impedance analysis chip is connected to the main control chip and is used to monitor impedance changes at the navel area in real time. Impedance changes reflect the physiological state of human tissue. The main control chip dynamically adjusts the intensity and frequency of the pulse signal based on feedback data from the impedance analysis chip to meet the actual needs of the human body. The current sensor is connected to both the impedance analysis chip and the electrode module and is used to monitor the current intensity output by the electrode module in real time. The current sensor feeds back the monitoring data to the impedance analysis chip to further optimize the output of the pulse signal.

[0031] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0032] Example 3 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 2 is that it also includes a relay; the relay is connected to the transformer and the pulse output module respectively.

[0033] The relays are connected to the transformer and the pulse output module respectively to control the current flow. When the main control chip detects an abnormality (such as current overload or impedance abnormality), it will cut off the current through the relays to protect the device and the human body from harm. The introduction of the relays enhances the safety of the device. Under normal operating conditions, the relays remain closed, allowing normal current flow; when an abnormality is detected, the relays quickly open, cutting off the current and ensuring the safety of the device and the human body.

[0034] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0035] Example 4 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 3 is that it also includes a treatment device housing and connecting wires; the control module is installed on the right side of the inside of the treatment device housing, and the pulse output module and transformer are installed on the left side of the inside; an electrode placement slot is provided on the top surface of the treatment device housing, and the electrode is placed in the motor placement slot.

[0036] The control module is installed on the right side of the interior casing, while the pulse output module and transformer are installed on the left side. An electrode placement slot is provided on the top surface of the casing to house the electrode module, ensuring stable installation and use. Connecting wires connect the electrode module and the pulse output module, ensuring accurate transmission of microcurrent pulses to the electrode module. The casing design not only improves the portability and aesthetics of the device but also optimizes the module layout, enhancing the device's stability and reliability.

[0037] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0038] Example 5 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 4 is that it also includes a connector and a connecting wire; the connector is installed on the left end of the housing of the treatment device; one end of the connecting wire is connected to the electrode and the other end is connected to the connector.

[0039] The connector is mounted on the left end of the treatment device housing and is used to connect external devices (such as electrodes or other treatment accessories). The connector design allows for flexible docking with external devices, enhancing the device's versatility and expandability. One end of the connecting wire connects to the electrode, and the other end connects to the connector. Through the connecting wire, the electrode module maintains an electrical connection with the internal pulse output module of the device, ensuring that microcurrent pulses are accurately delivered to the electrode. The introduction of the connector and connecting wire allows for easy disassembly and replacement of the electrode, improving the device's portability and flexibility.

[0040] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0041] Example 6 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 5 is that the current sensor is installed in the middle of the treatment device housing. The current sensor is installed in the middle of the treatment device housing, near the connection point between the electrode module and the pulse output module.

[0042] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0043] Example 7 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 6 is that it also includes a control button and a circuit board; the control button is installed on the outer front side of the treatment device housing, and the circuit board is installed on the inner front side; the control button is connected to the circuit board.

[0044] The control buttons, including a power switch and adjustment buttons, are installed on the front outer side of the treatment device housing. Users can start or stop the device using the power switch and adjust treatment parameters (such as pulse intensity and frequency) using the adjustment buttons. The circuit board is installed on the front inner side of the treatment device housing and is connected to the control buttons. The circuit board receives and processes the input signals from the control buttons and transmits the signals to the main control chip to control the device. The introduction of the control buttons and circuit board allows users to directly operate the device and adjust treatment parameters.

[0045] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0046] Example 8 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 7 is that the control buttons include a power switch and an adjustment button. The power switch is used to start or stop the device, and the adjustment button is used to adjust treatment parameters (such as pulse intensity, frequency, etc.).

[0047] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0048] In summary, this invention, by connecting the main control chip and the pulse output module via an FPGA module, can process and transmit signals. This allows the main control chip to control the pulse output module, enabling precise control over parameters such as the frequency and intensity of the output pulses, and controlling the output current to ensure the current density remains within a safe threshold. This effectively avoids the tissue burn problem common with traditional devices. Stimulating the navel acupoint with microcurrents retains the therapeutic effects of acupuncture while improving safety, making microcurrent acupuncture therapy more reliable and comfortable, and expanding the application scenarios and target audience of acupuncture treatment.
