[0006]

[0001] The present invention is a finger acupoint stimulation device using finger therapy, and in particular, it is a finger acupoint stimulation device using finger therapy that can stimulate the acupoint points of the hand according to the health condition of the user by protrusions or the like that can exhibit far-infrared rays, heat, and acupressure effects.

Background Art

[0002] Finger therapy is a unique complementary and alternative therapy in Korea that regards the hand as a miniaturized version of the human body, finds the acupoint points at the corresponding locations on the hand for the painful or impaired body parts, and applies stimulation to those parts to relieve pain and improve function.

[0003] Also, finger therapy is a complementary and alternative therapy that applies finger acupuncture, finger moxibustion, pressing rods, etc. to the hand. It is not only simple to apply, has no side effects, but also has quick and long-lasting effects, can be easily learned, and can be self-managed for pain. It is known that when applying two therapies in parallel rather than applying one therapy, the effect is promoted and manifested.

[0004] Among these, in the case of finger acupuncture therapy, acupuncture is performed at a depth of about 1 mm at the acupoint points of the corresponding part. There is almost no possibility of side effects due to acupuncture, but if many people reuse the used needles without proper disinfection, there is a risk of infection. In particular, there is a problem that it is difficult to perform acupuncture on people with trypanophobia who are afraid of sharp objects like needles.

[0005] Therefore, electroacupuncture techniques that apply weak current for stimulation have been developed. For example, Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1272904 (hereinafter referred to as "Patent Document 1") discloses a mouse that forms electrodes so that a minute current flows through the user's hand and applies the minute current to stimulate the acupoints on the palm.

[0006] Furthermore, while moxibustion therapy involves burning mugwort placed on acupoints to stimulate metabolism and physiological functions through heat, thus aiding in disease prevention, management, and recovery, this type of moxibustion therapy using mugwort has disadvantages, including the risk of burns, discomfort from smoke and ash, and the inability to maintain a constant temperature for extended periods.

[0007] Therefore, Korean Registered Patent No. 10-0162632 (hereinafter referred to as "Patent Document 2") discloses an electronic heating device that attaches a heating element to an acupoint on the human body and uses the heat generated by applying a power source to the heating element to obtain the effect of moxibustion.

[0008] However, Patent Document 1 has the disadvantage of having a very limited scope of application, as it is intended to alleviate pain in the wrists, fingers, etc., that occurs when a user uses a computer mouse for a long time. Furthermore, the electronic heating device in Patent Document 2 is inconvenient and troublesome to use because the heating element must be attached to acupoints on the human body using double-sided tape, and the heat generated by Patent Document 2 is surface thermal energy and does not penetrate deep into the body.

[0009] On the other hand, far-infrared radiation is a type of infrared radiation with a longer wavelength. It has a greater ability to penetrate human tissues, and far-infrared energy, which is transmitted deeper into the body than thermal energy transmitted only to the surface, is known to be more efficient and less likely to cause burns compared to surface thermal energy at the same temperature.

[0010] Furthermore, far-infrared rays penetrate deep into the human body and other materials, are absorbed, and resonate with the material's unique wavelength, activating its molecular motion. In particular, the human body is largely composed of water and protein, and it is known that the activation of molecular motion by far-infrared rays promotes metabolism and blood circulation.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0028] A specific embodiment of the finger acupoint stimulation device (hereinafter referred to as the "finger acupoint stimulation device") utilizing the finger therapy method according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0029] Figure 1 is a perspective view of the finger acupoint stimulator according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a diagram illustrating the structure of the housing of the finger acupoint stimulator according to the present invention, Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of Figure 1 cut at AA, showing an example in which a heating element including a ceramic layer is used as the far-infrared generating element, Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of Figure 1 cut at AA, showing an example in which a far-infrared generating LED is used as the far-infrared generating element, Figure 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating the operating relationship of the finger acupoint stimulator according to the present invention, Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating various examples of acupoint plates in which acupoint stimulating elements are formed according to the user's health condition, and Figure 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of using the finger acupoint stimulator according to the present invention.

[0030] First, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, the finger acupoint stimulator 10 according to the present invention includes a housing 100 with an open top surface and a storage space 110 formed inside, an acupoint plate 200 coupled to the top opening of the housing 100, a far-infrared generating unit 300 housed in the storage space 110 of the housing 100, a sensor unit 400 provided inside the housing 100, and a control box 500 provided on one side of the housing 100.

[0031] The housing 100 is a box-shaped structure with a storage space 110 formed inside by side walls consisting of front / rear / left / right surfaces and a bottom, and has an open top. Although it is shown as a rectangular box shape in Figures 1 to 4, it is not limited to this, and can also be a circular or elliptical box shape, for example.

[0032] One of the front, rear, left, or right sides of the housing 100 has a side wall portion cut out by the thickness of the acupuncture plate 200, creating a step between it and the side wall portions of the other sides that have not been cut out.

[0033] Furthermore, an acupuncture plate support portion 120 is provided on the upper side of the inner surface of the front / rear / left / right side wall portion to support the lower surface 220 of the acupuncture plate 200.

[0034] Alternatively, the acupuncture plate support portion 120 that supports the lower surface 220 of the acupuncture plate 200 can be provided only on the upper side of the inner surface of the side wall portion of the other side that has not been cut out, and in this case the cut-out side wall portion can also function to support the lower surface 220 of the acupuncture plate 200.

[0035] The acupuncture plate support portion 120 is formed to protrude inward from the inner surface of the side wall portion, and it is preferable that the height from the upper surface of the acupuncture plate support portion 120 to the upper end of the side wall portion matches the thickness of the acupuncture plate 200.

[0036] Next, it is preferable that the acupuncture plate 200 is plate-shaped to fit the upper opening of the housing 100, is connectable to and detachable from the upper opening of the housing 100, and when the acupuncture plate 200 is connected to the upper opening of the housing 100, it is supported by the acupuncture plate support portion 120 and / or the cut-out side wall portion of the housing 100, and that the connection between the acupuncture plate 200 and the upper opening of the housing 100 maintains airtightness within the housing 100.

[0037] As described above, since the acupuncture plate 200 is supported by the acupuncture plate support portion 120 and / or the cut-out side wall portion of the housing 100, the acupuncture plate 200 can be lifted or slid towards the cut-out side wall portion to be separated, and can be replaced with another acupuncture plate 200 as shown in Figure 2.

[0038] Furthermore, the acupoint plate 200 includes a hand-shaped hand position section 240 drawn on the upper surface 210 of the acupoint plate 200, and a plurality of acupoint stimulation sections 230 formed on the hand shape of the hand position section 240 at the positions of acupoints determined according to the user's health condition.

[0039] In other words, the acupoints are well-known acupoints according to Korean acupressure therapy, and the multiple acupoint stimulating parts 230 are provided in accordance with the combination of multiple acupoints determined by Korean acupressure therapy according to the user's health condition.

[0040] For example, as shown in Figure 6, (a) is an acupoint plate 200 with multiple acupoint stimulating parts 230 formed to stimulate combinations of acupoints in the basic male formula according to Korean acupressure therapy; (b) is an acupoint plate 200 with multiple acupoint stimulating parts 230 formed to stimulate combinations of acupoints in the basic female formula according to Korean acupressure therapy; (c) is an acupoint plate 200 with multiple acupoint stimulating parts 230 formed to stimulate combinations of acupoints in the case of mild gastrointestinal disorders according to Korean acupressure therapy; and (d) is an acupoint plate 200 with multiple acupoint stimulating parts 230 formed to stimulate combinations of acupoints in the case of acute indigestion or gastritis according to Korean acupressure therapy.

[0041] On the other hand, the acupoint plate 200 shown in Figure 6 is only partially illustrated as an example, and there may be various acupoint plates 200 in which multiple acupoint stimulation areas 230 are formed corresponding to various combinations of acupoints for each disease defined by Korean acupressure therapy. Furthermore, there may be various acupoint plates 200 in which multiple hand position areas 240 are depicted depending on hand size, left hand / right hand, etc., and multiple acupoint stimulation areas 230 are formed accordingly.

[0042] Furthermore, each of the acupoint stimulation sections 230, as shown in Figure 2, includes a pressure point section 232 protruding from the upper surface 210 of the acupoint plate 200, and an acupoint stimulation hole section 231 penetrating the pressure point section 232 and the upper and lower surfaces 210 and 220 of the acupoint plate 200.

[0043] Furthermore, the acupoint stimulation hole portion 231 is a through-hole through which far-infrared rays and heat generated by the far-infrared generating portion 300 pass to stimulate the user's acupoints. It is preferable that the hole has a circular cross-section and that its diameter gradually increases from the upper surface 210 to the lower surface 220 of the acupoint plate 200.

[0044] In other words, it is preferable that the hole in the acupoint stimulation hole portion 231 that penetrates the acupressure portion 232 is extended with the same diameter, and then the hole that penetrates from the upper surface 210 to the lower surface 220 of the acupoint plate 200 is extended so that its diameter gradually increases.

[0045] Therefore, after connecting the acupoint plate 200, selected according to the user's health condition, to the upper opening of the housing 100, and then placing it on the acupoint plate 200 according to the shape of the hand drawn on the hand position portion 240, the protruding acupressure portion 232 of the acupoint stimulation portion 230 applies pressure to the acupoints on the user's hand, performing acupressure. At the same time, the far-infrared rays and heat generated from the far-infrared generating portion 300 stimulate the acupoints on the user's hand through the acupoint stimulation hole portion 231, thereby providing an effect that can replace conventional finger acupuncture and finger moxibustion.

[0046] Furthermore, as the diameter of the acupoint stimulation hole portion 231 gradually increases from the upper surface 210 to the lower surface 220 of the acupoint plate 200, the far-infrared rays and heat generated from the far-infrared generating portion 300 can be efficiently collected and flowed to the acupoint stimulation hole portion 231 on the upper surface of the acupressure portion 232.

[0047] Next, the far-infrared generating unit 300 is a device that generates far-infrared rays and heat, is housed in the storage space 110 of the housing 100, is connected to a power supply via the control unit 510 (described later), and is not particularly limited as long as it is a device that generates far-infrared rays and heat.

[0048] In other words, as shown in Figure 3, the far-infrared generating unit 300 may include a substrate portion 310a, a heating unit 330 connected by a socket 320 provided on the substrate portion 310a, and a ceramic layer 340 provided on at least the upper and lower surfaces of the heating unit 330.

[0049] In this case, it is preferable that the heating element 330 and the ceramic layer 340 are provided to be of a size corresponding to the hand position portion 240 of the acupuncture plate 200.

[0050] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4, the far-infrared generating unit 300 may include a substrate portion 310a and a plurality of far-infrared generating LEDs 350 provided on the substrate portion 310a.

[0051] In this case, it is preferable that the plurality of far-infrared generating LEDs 350 are arranged so as to correspond neatly to the hand position portion 240 of the acupuncture plate 200.

[0052] Next, the sensor unit 400 includes at least one load sensor 410 provided on the upper surface of the acupuncture plate support portion 120 of the housing 100, and a plurality of temperature sensors 420 provided on the inner surface of the side wall portion of the housing 100.

[0053] The load sensor 410 is provided on the upper surface of the acupuncture plate support portion 120 of the housing 100, and when the acupuncture plate 200 is connected to the upper opening of the housing 100, the load sensor 410 also comes into contact with the lower surface 220 of the acupuncture plate 200.

[0054] Therefore, with the acupuncture plate 200 connected to the upper opening of the housing 100, the load sensor 410 can detect changes in load when the user places their hand on or removes their hand from the hand position portion 240 of the acupuncture plate 200.

[0055] Furthermore, the temperature sensor 420 is for measuring the temperature inside the housing 100 due to the heat generated from the far-infrared generating unit 300, and includes at least two temperature sensors 420a and 420b.

[0056] In this case, if the first temperature sensor 420a is provided on the inner surface of one side wall, it is preferable that the second temperature sensor 420b is provided on the inner surface of the other side wall facing the first side wall.

[0057] In other words, if the first temperature sensor 420a is provided on the inner surface of the left side wall, it is preferable that the second temperature sensor 420b is provided on the inner surface of the right side wall, and if the first temperature sensor 420a is provided on the inner surface of the front side wall, it is preferable that the second temperature sensor 420b is provided on the inner surface of the rear side wall.

[0058] In this case, it is preferable that the first temperature sensor 420a and the second temperature sensor 420b are provided at the same height and facing each other.

[0059] Next, the control box 500 is provided on one side of the housing 100, with a control unit 510 inside and an input unit 520 and a display unit 530 exposed on its upper surface.

[0060] The POWER ON / OFF, usage time setting, etc. can be input via the input unit 520, and the display unit 530 includes a first display unit 530a that displays the temperature inside the housing 100 and a second display unit 530b that displays the remaining time of the usage time set by the input unit 520.

[0061] In this case, it is preferable that the first display unit 530a displays the temperatures sensed by the first temperature sensor 420a and the second temperature sensor 420b, respectively.

[0062] Furthermore, the control unit 510 controls the far-infrared generating unit 300 and the display unit 530 based on the information input by the input unit 520 and the information sensed by the sensor unit 400.

[0063] Next, the operation process of the finger acupoint stimulator 10 according to the present invention will be described.

[0064] First, the acupoint plate 200 is attached to the upper opening of the housing 100. At this time, the acupoint plate 200 can be selected according to the user's health condition. For example, if the user does not have any disease in a specific area and is seeking to improve their health and prevent disease, a male can select the acupoint plate 200 shown in Figure 6(a), and a female can select the acupoint plate 200 shown in Figure 6(b). In addition, if there is mild gastrointestinal disorder or heartburn, the acupoint plate 200 shown in Figure 6(c) can be selected, and if there is acute indigestion, gastritis, food poisoning, or abdominal pain and diarrhea, the acupoint plate 200 shown in Figure 6(d) can be selected. Depending on the situation, it is possible to replace it with another acupoint plate 200.

[0065] Next, the user turns on the POWER via the input unit 520 and sets the usage time. However, even if the user turns on the POWER and sets the usage time, the far-infrared generating unit 300 does not operate, and the set usage time does not advance.

[0066] Next, when the user places their hand on the hand position portion 240 of the acupuncture plate 200, the load sensor 410 detects a change (i.e., an increase) in load, and at this time the control unit 510 activates the far-infrared radiator 300.

[0067] Furthermore, the control unit 510 displays the temperatures measured by the first temperature sensor 420a and the second temperature sensor 420b on the first display unit 530a from this point onward, while also advancing the time set by the user and displaying the remaining time of the time set by the user via the second display unit 530b.

[0068] Furthermore, if the user releases their hand from the hand position section 240 of the acupuncture plate 200 midway through, the load sensor 410 detects a change (i.e., decrease) in load, and at this time the control unit 510 stops the operation of the far-infrared generating unit 300. In this case, it is preferable that the temperature displayed on the first display unit 530a remains displayed, and the remaining time displayed on the second display unit 530b is displayed in a stopped state.

[0069] Furthermore, the control unit 510 controls the far-infrared radiation generator 300 by repeatedly stopping its operation when the temperature measured by the first temperature sensor 420a and the second temperature sensor 420b reaches a certain temperature, and restarting the far-infrared radiation generator 300 when the temperature measured by the first temperature sensor 420a and the second temperature sensor 420b drops below a certain temperature, thereby maintaining the temperature inside the housing 100 within a certain range.

[0070] In other words, it is generally known that the therapeutic effect of heat is effective when the tissue temperature remains at 40-45°C for 30 minutes or more, but prolonged contact at temperatures above 44°C can cause low-temperature burns.

[0071] Therefore, it is preferable that the control unit 510 stops the operation of the far-infrared generating unit 300 when the higher of the temperatures measured by the first temperature sensor 420a and the second temperature sensor 420b reaches 43°C, and restarts the far-infrared generating unit 300 when the higher of the temperatures measured by the first temperature sensor 420a and the second temperature sensor 420b drops to 40°C, thereby controlling the temperature inside the housing 100 to be maintained within the range of 40 to 43°C.

[0072] Therefore, it is preferable to pre-set a maximum temperature (for example, 43°C) for stopping the operation of the far-infrared generating unit 300 and a minimum temperature (for example, 40°C) for restarting the far-infrared generating unit 300.

[0073] Furthermore, if there is a large discrepancy in the temperature measured by the first temperature sensor 420a and the second temperature sensor 420b, not only may different amounts of heat be supplied to each acupoint on the user's hand, potentially reducing the therapeutic effect, but this could also indicate a malfunction in the finger acupoint stimulator 10.

[0074] In other words, in the case of the far-infrared generating unit 300 using the heating element 330 shown in Figure 3, there may be a malfunction in a part of the heating element 330, and in the case of the far-infrared generating unit 300 using multiple far-infrared generating LEDs 350 shown in Figure 4, there may be a malfunction in a part of the multiple far-infrared generating LEDs 350.

[0075] Therefore, if the temperature difference measured by the first temperature sensor 420a and the second temperature sensor 420b is large (for example, if the temperature difference is 2°C or more), the control unit 510 determines that there is an abnormality in the finger acupoint stimulator 10 and controls it to notify the user of this via the first display unit 530a.

[0076] Therefore, it is preferable to pre-set a reference deviation (for example, 2°C) in the temperature difference between the first temperature sensor 420a and the second temperature sensor 420b that will be judged as a malfunction.

[0077] Furthermore, it is preferable to incorporate a battery (not shown) within the control box 500.

[0078] Therefore, the finger acupoint stimulator 10 according to the present invention can be easily carried and used anywhere, and in particular, as shown in Figure 7, it can be attached to a massage chair 20, sofa, or the like. [Industrial applicability]

[0079] This invention relates to a finger acupoint stimulator that utilizes finger therapy and can simultaneously produce far-infrared radiation, heat, and acupressure effects, and has potential for industrial application.
