Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, and in particular relates to a portable warm needle device for traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture. Background Technology

[0002] Acupuncture is an important part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), with a long history and wide application. Warm needling is a commonly used method in acupuncture treatment. By heating the needle handle, the heat is conducted through the needle body to the acupoints, achieving effects such as warming and unblocking the meridians, dispelling cold and dampness, and regulating qi and blood.

[0003] Traditional warm needling methods, such as using burning moxa wool or moxa cones, while effective, have some limitations. They require professional guidance, the ash produced during burning poses a fire hazard, and the large amount of smoke can cause discomfort to patients, especially those with respiratory illnesses, making it a contraindication. Furthermore, they are not convenient for clinical practice, particularly in mobile healthcare or home settings, making it difficult to meet the need for convenient warm needling treatment anytime, anywhere. The temperature of the burning moxa wool or moxa cones is also difficult to control precisely; excessively high temperatures can burn the patient's skin, while insufficient temperatures will not achieve the desired therapeutic effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] In response to the above situation, in order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies where the temperature of burning moxa wool or moxa cones is difficult to control precisely.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a portable warm needle device for traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture includes a main shell, which is cylindrical, and a fixing module disposed at one end of the main shell. The fixing module is used to achieve stable clamping and release of acupuncture needles. A heating module is provided inside the main shell, and an anti-slip groove is provided on the outside of the main shell.

[0006] Furthermore, the fixing module includes an adjusting rod, a fixing clip, and a knob. The main body shell has an adjusting port and an opening at both ends, respectively. The adjusting rod is threaded to the inside of the adjusting port. Several fixing clips are fixed to the end of the adjusting rod located inside the main body shell. The fixing clip has a clamping hole in the middle. The knob is fixed to the other end of the adjusting rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the heating module includes a fixing block, a heating chamber, and heating elements. The fixing block is threaded to the inside of the opening on its side. A slot is provided on the inside of the fixing block. One end of the heating chamber is secured in the slot. Several heating elements are spaced apart inside the heating chamber. A funnel-shaped needle inlet is provided in the middle of the outer side of the fixing block. A through hole matching the needle inlet and the clamping hole is provided in the middle of the heating chamber. A thermal sensor is provided at the end of the heating chamber.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixing clip is made of elastic silicone material, and four sets of fixing clips are provided, which are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the adjusting rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the main outer shell is made of lightweight, high-temperature resistant, and insulating aerospace-grade aluminum alloy.

[0010] Furthermore, the heating element is a ring-shaped ceramic heating element.

[0011] Furthermore, a microprocessor and a display controller are fixedly connected inside the main body shell. The display controller is electrically connected to the microprocessor via wires, the thermal sensor is electrically connected to the microprocessor via wires, and the heating element is electrically connected to the microprocessor via wires.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixing block is provided with honeycomb-shaped heat dissipation holes.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model after adopting the above structure are as follows:

[0014] (1) The heating module features a fixed block, heating chamber, and annular ceramic heating element, which provide rapid heating and uniform heating.
