Description

Technical field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a sinus wave meridian unblocking device. State of the art

[0002] All living organisms have a unique electrical current in their bodies. It is generally accepted that the frequency range of the human bioelectrical resonance is 20 Hz to 100 Hz (Hertz), with an average of approximately 60 Hz. The frequency of alternating current (50 Hz) essentially corresponds to the frequency of pure low-frequency sinusoidal biocurrents in the human body.

[0003] A sine wave is a periodic waveform with gentle changes in its shape. Sine waves are used in some medical devices and in biological signal processing because their smoothness more closely resembles the natural processes of the human body. They are suitable for some treatments requiring mild stimulation, such as pain relief and muscle relaxation, using lower frequencies and longer pulse widths. Sine waves can stimulate nerve endings and muscle fibers, leading to effective nerve excitation, relief of muscle spasms, and other therapeutic effects.

[0004] The low-frequency sinusoidal wave current has a strong deep-penetrating effect that can effectively break down, disperse and eliminate inflammatory substances and pain-causing factors in the local tissue, accelerate blood circulation in the local and surrounding tissue, and rearrange and combine abnormal cell molecules to achieve a rapid anti-inflammatory, decongestant and analgesic effect.

[0005] The powerful deep penetration of the sinusoidal wave current activates the meridians and eliminates stagnation and blood congestion. The sinusoidal wave current acts directly on the deep abdominal cavity, thereby improving the tone of the smooth muscles, blood circulation to the internal organs, and the function of the autonomic nervous system. The thermal effect of the sinusoidal wave current can effectively eliminate excess subcutaneous fat and accelerate the elimination of metabolic waste products from the body.

[0006] AC 50 Hz essentially corresponds to the frequency of pure low-frequency sinusoidal bioelectrical current in the human body. It has a broad low-frequency range and strong penetration. If you compare meridians to channels, then acupuncture points are valves densely packed on the pipes. By using this sinusoidal low-frequency bioelectrical stimulation of acupuncture points, the meridians can be flushed, causing them to elicit specific physical and physiological responses. Humans are no exception. Every part of the human body, such as the heart, brain, muscles, and nerves, emits very weak low-frequency currents that the body itself cannot feel. This is what biologists call "bioelectric current." Bioelectric current plays a very important role in the normal functioning of the body, especially in the coordinated function of cells, nerve meridians, and so on.in the human body.

[0007] Modern scientific research has confirmed that the human body consists of approximately 60 trillion cells. Every resting, living cell possesses a cell membrane potential. Under the influence of this membrane potential, cells establish a gradient arrangement of surrounding sodium, potassium, and chloride ions, and metabolic activities are carried out through the exchange of these ions. Human life processes must maintain a certain potential balance under various circumstances. When the human body exhibits pathological changes, the potential of the cells within the body becomes unbalanced.

[0008] Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) focuses on the circulation of Qi and blood, as well as the smooth flow of the meridians. TCM often states that "pain means blockage, and releasing blockages means no pain." This essentially refers to the meridians. Under normal physiological conditions, meridians play a role in coordinating the internal and external balance of Yin and Yang, and they serve to protect both the body and the environment. Modern scientific research has confirmed that when the function of the meridians is blocked by external factors, the movement of Qi and blood within the body is also obstructed. Since Qi and blood are considered the "electricity" of the body—that is, the bioelectricity of the body—this means that the bioelectrical flow within the body is blocked.When the potential of nerve cells in the human body becomes unbalanced, this also leads to increased resistance, blocked flow, and impaired transmission of electrical signals, which in turn causes pain in the associated nerves and tissues. Meridians are the body's response system for diseases on the surface or in the subcutaneous tissue. Meridian points are reaction points along the meridians. Therefore, applying current through specific reaction points can normalize cell potential, open the flow, and restore the patient's meridians to normal function. This can immediately unblock the meridians, achieving the goal of "relieving pain by releasing blockages," thus producing the remarkable effect of unblocking the meridians, ventilating and activating the flow of Qi and blood, and eliminating pain.

[0009] One can use electrical current of a specific frequency to influence the meridian points of the human body, particularly electrical current with the same frequency as the body's own biological electrical current, in order to harmonize and balance it. Simultaneously, it can repair the potential of nerve cells, reduce resistance, maintain a smooth flow of current in the nervous system and the smooth transmission of electrical nerve signals, thus promoting the recovery from affected tissue diseases and pain.

[0010] Currently, various electrical therapy devices sold on the market and used in hospitals include DC medium-frequency and AC square-wave therapy devices. Most of them emit rectangular (square wave) or triangular waves. The square wave is a rectangular wave with a 50% duty cycle. It has a high frequency, a short pulse width, and large amplitude variations. The circuitry is simple, and the cost is low. This therapeutic device generates a current after a series of processes, such as rectification and oscillation of the input AC current. It produces strong electrolysis, polarization, and skin-wrapping effects. If the current is too high, it can cause strong twitching of the local muscles and an unbearable tingling sensation.Prolonged use can also lead to skin burns, which reduces the penetration of the current and impairs the therapeutic effect. Content of the invention
