Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acupuncture, and in particular to a Qi needle acupuncture component. Background Technology

[0002] As a type of acupuncture treatment, the core principle of Qi acupuncture is to apply mechanical stimulation generated by air pressure regulation to the meridians and acupoints of the human body. It has the advantages of being painless and non-invasive, and shows unique value in the fields of pain management and chronic disease treatment.

[0003] However, current technology lacks dedicated equipment for Qi acupuncture therapy, which generally relies on syringes as acupuncture needles. This acupuncture method has many drawbacks, the most important of which is that the needles need to be manually supported after acupuncture. Since acupuncture generally uses simultaneous stimulation of multiple acupoints as a treatment method, these drawbacks mean that acupuncture can only be performed one acupoint at a time, which restricts the development of this acupuncture method.

[0004] There is currently a lack of corresponding solutions to the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a simple structure that can support simultaneous multi-needle acupuncture treatment and is easy to use.

[0006] The equipment includes needles and a gas supply device; The needle includes a hollow needle tube at the bottom and an enlarged part at the top of the hollow needle tube, with a cavity communicating between the enlarged part and the hollow needle tube. The gas supply device includes a gas delivery pipe, one end of which is plugged into the expansion part of the needle, and the other end is connected to a transition gas cylinder. The transition gas cylinder is also equipped with a gas supply pipe, which is connected to the injector. The injector is also equipped with a gas source interface, which is connected to an external gas source.

[0007] The effect achieved is that an external air source supplies air to the injector and the transition air cylinder, replacing the air inside the injector; the external air source is then turned off and the air delivery tube is connected to the air needle. The injector is then used to push forward to pump compressed air into the acupoint through the needle, completing the air needle acupuncture process. The air delivery tube is then removed, and the above steps are repeated to achieve simultaneous air needle treatment with multiple needles.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it solves the problem of the lack of dedicated equipment for acupuncture treatment in the prior art, fills a gap in the existing technology, abandons the traditional diagnostic and treatment method of using needles as acupuncture tools, and overcomes the drawbacks of needing support for needles and the inability to achieve simultaneous treatment of multiple acupoints. Furthermore, the equipment has a simple structure and is easy to maintain and disinfect. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0010] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The present invention provides a pneumatic acupuncture component, comprising a needle 1 and a pneumatic supply device. The needle 1 includes a hollow needle tube 13 at the lower part and an enlarged part 12 at the upper part of the hollow needle tube, and the enlarged part 12 and the hollow needle tube 13 are connected by a cavity. The gas supply device includes a gas supply pipe 2, one end of which is plugged into the expansion part 12 of the needle 1, and the other end is connected to the transition gas cylinder 3. The transition gas cylinder 3 is also equipped with a gas supply pipe 4, which is connected to the injector 5. The injector 5 is also provided with an air source interface, which is connected to an external air source 7.

[0011] The effect achieved is that the external air source 7 supplies air to the injector 5 and the transition air bottle 3, replacing the air inside the injector; the external air source 7 is turned off and the air supply tube 2 is connected to the air needle. The injector 5 is used to push forward to pump the compressed air into the acupoint through the needle 1, completing the air needle acupuncture process. The air supply tube 2 is pulled out, and the above steps are repeated to achieve synchronous air needle treatment of multiple needles 1.

[0012] Example 1: The gas supply device is equipped with multiple needles 1.

[0013] The effect achieved is that multiple needles can be used for simultaneous treatment.

[0014] In Example 2, the hollow needle tube 13 is plugged into and connected to the enlarged part 12, and the enlarged part 12 is cylindrical. The enlarged portion 12 is made of either rubber or plastic.

[0015] The result is that the overall equipment is lightweight.

[0016] Furthermore, a valve-type one-way air intake valve 11 is also provided inside the enlarged part 12.

[0017] The effect achieved in this way is to avoid rapid pressure loss after the air tube 2 is pulled out, and based on the setting of the air valve, to prevent the needle part 1 from being connected to the outside air under normal pressure, thus avoiding the risk of infection at the acupuncture site.

[0018] Furthermore, the outer surface of the enlarged portion 12 is also provided with anti-slip texture.

[0019] This makes it easier to hold the needle.

[0020] In Example 3, the gas pipe 2 is provided with a quick connector corresponding to the expansion part 12 at one end.

[0021] This achieves the effect of a rapid connection between the two.

[0022] In Example 4, the injector 5 is provided with scale markings on the outside.

[0023] Preferably, the graduation value represented by the scale is 0.5 ml.

[0024] This achieves the effect of injecting 0.5-2ml of gas into the treatment corresponding to acupuncture, with precise marking to avoid deviation in the injected gas volume.

[0025] In Example 5, the gas supply pipe 4 is plugged into the port of the injector 5; the gas source interface is located on the side wall of the injector cylinder near the port of the injector 5. An external air source 7 pumping pipe 6 is also plugged into the air source interface.

[0026] Furthermore, the external gas source 7 is configured such that a gas cylinder is directly connected to the gas source pumping pipeline 6, or a gas cylinder is connected to a diaphragm pump, and the diaphragm pump is connected to the gas source pumping pipeline 6.

[0027] This achieves a convenient operation and allows for easy start-up and shutdown of the air pump.

[0028] Preferably, the gas cylinders include multiple types of gas cylinders such as nitrogen, ozone, or oxygen.

[0029] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model.
