Description

A controllable thermal acupuncture needle system heated by induction

technical field

The invention relates to the field of medical technology, in particular to a controllable thermal acupuncture needle system heated by induction.

Background technique

Hot acupuncture is a new type of acupuncture method created on the basis of summarizing warm acupuncture and fire acupuncture. Prosperity of cold, heavy dampness, and stagnation of meridians, such as arthralgia, and inhumane skin. Traditional hot acupuncture needles quickly pierce the heated needle tip into the acupoint, and the needle is retained for 20 minutes. During the entire needle retention process, the acupuncture point is stimulated by heating the needle handle with moxa sticks, but the temperature control during the operation is relatively blind. The temperature of the needle handle is too high, reaching over 400°C, which can easily cause burns to the superficial skin, which brings a lot of danger and inconvenience to the operator and the patient. In addition, the existing thermal acupuncture needs to be directly connected to a heat source to perform stable thermal acupuncture therapy, which causes extra burden on the needle body of acupuncture and moxibustion, which is easy to cause displacement of the needle body during the acupuncture process, and its heat conduction method often requires the entire needle body to be It has thermal conductivity, which is easy to cause the heated needle body to bring unnecessary burning sensation to other human tissues and increase the discomfort of the patient.

Chinese patent document CN202822098U discloses a silver needle for acupuncture and moxibustion with electrothermal electromagnetic effect, which has a handle, a needle bar and a power supply device; the needle bar has a handle, an electric heating wire is arranged in the handle, and the electric heating wire has a flexible wire; Switch, the switch is connected to the positive terminal, the negative terminal of the battery is connected to the resistance through the potentiometer, the resistance is connected to the negative terminal, and the negative terminal and the positive terminal are connected to the flexible wire. This acupuncture silver needle with electrothermal electromagnetic effect, the battery voltage can be selected below the human body safe voltage of 36V. The temperature of the needle rod is adjusted and controlled by a potentiometer, and its temperature should be strictly controlled within the medically acceptable range. Its benefits are that it has acupuncture, electric heat, and electromagnetic stimulation effects on human acupuncture points, which can enhance the effect of acupuncture and moxibustion; the temperature of the silver needle can be adjusted and controlled by a potentiometer to meet the needs of different diseases. However, by setting an electric heating wire in the handle of the needle bar, the needle body is heated by direct current, so that the needle bar is always connected with the electric heating wire and the power supply device. The efficacy of acupuncture and moxibustion, and its entire needle shaft is in a state of heat conduction, it is easy to bring unnecessary burning sensations to other human tissues, and even burns, causing discomfort to patients.

Chinese patent document CN205758971U discloses an electromagnetic thermal acupuncture combined device, comprising acupuncture needles, at least one set of coil sleeves and a physiological therapeutic apparatus; an insulating sleeve is sleeved on the handle of the acupuncture needles; a wire is wound on the outside of the insulating sleeve, and the coil sleeve is wound on the insulating sleeve. The wire on the upper part is composed of a magnetic conductive metal jacket; the magnetic conductive metal jacket is arranged on the outside of the insulating jacket and is separated from the insulating jacket by the coil. Or the inner side of the insulating jacket is separated from the coil by an insulating layer; the connection between the wire and the physiological therapy instrument is directly or indirectly, and the coil jacket is fixed on the acupuncture needle by means of an inverted A-type metal clip. The utility model has the advantages that the electric field, the magnetic field and the eddy current heating generated by the electric coil under certain conditions after being energized can be simultaneously provided during acupuncture and moxibustion, which has a synergistic effect. However, it still needs to put the insulating jacket on the acupuncture needle, and the wire is still connected with the acupuncture needle, which is still easy to cause the needle rod to shift due to the involvement of the wire, and the entire acupuncture needle is also in a heat-conducting state. It brings unnecessary burning sensation to other human tissues, or even burns, and brings discomfort to the patient.

To sum up, there is an urgent need for a heat-controllable method that can provide precise thermal acupuncture treatment for the area to be treated, avoid the need for thermal acupuncture therapy to stimulate unnecessary treatment areas, cause discomfort to patients, and reduce the use of disposable acupuncture needles. The use cost further improves the safety of the use of acupuncture needles, and can avoid the use of a controllable thermal acupuncture needle system heated by a magnetic field that involves the needle body of acupuncture needles caused by other heating sources.
