In general, acupressure refers to a technique of applying pressure to a certain part of the body with a finger or a palm, and is based on the theory of Meridian and Acupoint of Oriental Medicine.

In detail, acupuncture points and acupuncture points, which are the subjects of acupressure in the oriental medicine, are connected to the five viscera and the sixth part of the human body. For example, if a person's stomach hurts, the tenderness points appear on his back, arms, hands, legs, feet, head and face as well as his stomach.

In addition, the body parts used in the chiropractor include fingers, palms, elbows and fists. Acupressure therapy using these body parts is a very difficult task because it presses a number of acupuncture points at regular intervals by a chiropractor. The number of chiropractors could be limited, so it was not widely available.

Moreover, there was a problem that the efficiency of acupressure is lowered because the desired strength of acupressure cannot be adjusted according to the body part to be contacted.

In order to solve the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a pressure gauge to improve the efficiency of acupressure by easily adjusting the pressure strength for each contact position of the body.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention forms an appearance and a case formed with a plurality of receiving grooves; In order to adjust the strength of the pressure according to the user's desired pressure area is divided into two or more compressive strength, each of which is arranged detachably in the receiving groove, so that the fluid is filled by the cylinder and the inside of the spring to be pushed forward by the spring A damper comprising a piston disposed; And it is connected to the piston of the damper is moved, provides a pressure gauge comprising a pressure rod for pressing the contact portion of the body according to the compressive strength of the damper.
Here, the dampers are preferably displayed according to the strength of the compressive strength thereof. In addition, the cylinder is marked by the color code strength is selectively detachable to the case, the piston is supported by the spring is moved inside the cylinder, it is preferable that the orifice is formed therein. In addition, the damper is preferably adjusted to its compressive strength by adjusting any one of the elastic strength of the spring provided inside, the viscosity of the fluid and the size of the orifice.

Of course, the case may be made of a cylindrical shape that can be held by the user's hand. That is, the case may be provided in various forms according to the body part to be acupressure, such as a cylindrical shape for hand pressure or a rectangular parallelepiped shape for foot pressure. In addition, the case 110 may be made of wood, metal, plastic, or the like, but is not limited thereto.

Meanwhile, the plurality of dampers 120 are inserted into and detached from the receiving groove 111 of the case 110 so that a plurality of dogs are arranged on the outer surface of the case 110 in a predetermined pattern.

Here, the damper 120 is preferably made of a cylindrical shape, it is fixed to the removable groove 111 formed on the upper surface of the case 110 by detachable fitting or the like. The receiving groove 111 has a hole or groove structure.

In addition, the arrangement according to the predetermined pattern of the dampers 120 refers to the densely arranged with a uniform predetermined intervals to form a rectangle on the outer side of the case 110 as a whole. That is, as shown, the dampers 120 are arranged at regular intervals in the up, down, left and right directions on the upper surface of the case 110. The arrangement interval of the dampers 120 may be selectively set by the manufacturer in consideration of the acupressure effect. Of course, since the damper 120 is detachably provided, the damper 120 may be disposed in a shape corresponding to a body part such as a user's hand or foot.

Here, the damper 120 is preferably divided into at least two or more compressive strength so as to pressure the specific portion of the contact portion of the body differently. Therefore, the damper 120 may be provided in various types having various compressive strengths desired by the user.

That is, the damper 120 is preferably disposed by the strength of the compressive strength of the damper 120 so that the magnetic pole strength of the contact portion of the body is different.

Here, the acupressure rod 121 is preferably made of a round bar shape, it is formed to be round so that the end exposed to the outside contact the skin of the body without difficulty. The acupressure rod 121 is preferably provided to be filled with a material such as metal, plastic, the material is not limited. Of course, since the acupressure rod 121 is a part in contact with the skin of the body, it is also possible to add a substance such as silver powder, ceramic powder, etc. for antimicrobial activity, far-infrared radiation.

That is, the acupressure rod 121 serves as an acupressure protrusion that applies pressure to a reflection point or a tenderness point on the body, and is provided with different acupressure depending on the position by the damper 120 having a different compressive strength, thereby contacting the body. Acupressure the site locally differently. In this case, in order for different acupressure to be applied, almost the same force is applied to a predetermined area of the acupressure rods 121, and the surface of the body part is in contact with the top of the acupressure rod 121 in parallel with the acupressure. desirable.

Therefore, the damper 120 is divided into at least two compressive strengths so as to differently press a specific part of the contact portion of the body to be detachably disposed in the case 110, thereby selectively placing the damper 120 The user can adjust the strength of the pressure according to the desired pressure area.

Through this, by controlling the strength of the pressure can accurately stimulate or strongly stimulate the reflection point or pressure point to be pressure can be significantly improved the efficiency of the pressure.

3 is a perspective view showing a damper according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 is a side cross-sectional view showing a damper according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the damper 121 has a cylindrical cylinder 122 forming an appearance, and the fluid f is filled inside the cylinder 122. The cylinder 122 is sealed and a piston 126 is provided therein. The piston 126 has a disc shape or a cylindrical shape and is provided to reciprocate in the cylinder 122 filled with the fluid f.

In addition, an orifice 124 penetrating the piston 126 is formed at an inner center of the piston 126, and the orifice 124 becomes a moving passage of the fluid f and has a predetermined diameter of the piston ( 126 is formed through the front and rear.

Further, the first half of the cylinder 122 (hereinafter, left side in FIG. 4) is provided with a rod of acupressure rod 121 having a round bar shape, and the acupressure rod 121 is installed to penetrate the front surface of the cylinder 122. do. That is, the front end of the acupressure rod 121 is exposed to the front outside of the cylinder 122.

In addition, a piston ring 125 for controlling the flow of the fluid is further provided on an outer circumferential surface of the piston 126, and the piston 126 is provided at a rear portion of the piston 126 (hereinafter, the right side in FIG. 4). The spring 123 is pushed forward. The spring 123 may be a coil spring or the like.

In addition, a rod guide 127 for supporting the acupressure rod 121 is provided at the first half of the cylinder 122, and a sealing member for preventing leakage of the fluid f in front of the rod guide 127. 128 is provided.

That is, the acupressure rod 121 is moved by being supported by the spring 123 inside the cylinder 110, and is moved by the piston 126, the orifice 124 is formed therein. Therefore, the damper 120 of the above-described configuration has a structure similar to the hydraulic damper or pneumatic damper.

Hereinafter, the operation of the damper 120 having the above-described configuration will be described.

When an external force is applied from the front of the acupressure rod 121, the piston 126 is moved to the rear, at this time the fluid (f) filled in the rear space of the piston 126 is compressed, the fluid (f) ) Is an incompressible fluid f, so that the fluid f moves to the front space of the piston 126 through the orifice 124 by the pressure of the piston 126, and at the same time the spring 123 Is compressed. Accordingly, the acupressure rod 121 is elastically and smoothly moved so that the existing acupressure protrusions are fixed to prevent deterioration or damage of the acupressure effect due to inelasticity. In this case, the fluid f may be an oil or gas.

Then, when the external force is released from the front of the acupressure rod 121, the piston 126 is moved forward by the elastic restoring force of the spring 123 and the acupressure rod 121 is returned to the front. Of course, even at this time, the fluid f moved to the front space of the piston 126 is moved to the rear space of the piston 126.

Here, the amount of fluid f moving forward through the orifice 124 is limited by the area of the orifice 124. As such, the compressive strength of the damper 120 against external pressure may be adjusted by using the resistance of the limited fluid f. In addition, the compressive strength of the damper 120 may be adjusted by adjusting the elastic strength of the spring 123 or adjusting the viscosity of the fluid f.

That is, the damper 120 adjusts any one of the elastic strength of the spring 123, the viscosity of the fluid (f) and the size of the orifice 124 provided in the cylinder 122 of the same size. It is preferable that the compressive strength is adjusted by. Of course, the damper may be configured without a fluid, and in this case, the compressive strength of the damper may be adjusted by adjusting only the elastic strength of the spring.

Accordingly, the compressive strength of the damper 120 is adjusted by adjusting at least one of the elastic strength of the elastic body 123, the viscosity of the fluid and the size of the orifice 124, thereby setting various compressive strengths Various bearing pressures can be implemented.

On the other hand, the damper 120 is preferably displayed according to the strength of its compressive strength. To this end, the damper 120 is selectively detachable to the case 110, the compression strength of the damper 120 comprises a cylinder 122 is displayed in color. Of course, the damper 120 may display the color, shape, and the like of the acupressure rod 121 separately according to the compressive strength of the damper 120.

Here, distinguishing and displaying the cylinder 122 may indicate an end portion of the cylinder 122 exposed to the upper surface of the case 110 in a color distinguished according to the strength of the compressive strength or to expose the cylinder 122. By forming a stepped groove (not shown) at the end portion can be made by selectively attaching a gel having a different color.

That is, the dampers 120 are provided in plural to form an area corresponding to the contact area of the body part, and as shown, the dampers 120 having the same compressive strength are distinguishably displayed and are locally arranged. Easily classify the parts to be acupressure contact the strength of the chiropractor can be effective with the same force by the same force.

The damper 120 is detachably provided in the case 110 by fitting the cylinder 122 to the receiving groove 111 formed to correspond to the cylinder 122.

Therefore, the damper 120 is displayed to be divided by the strength of the ground pressure according to the difference in compressive strength thereof, and is detached to the case 110, so that the user can easily form a pattern desired by the user, so the convenience of use can be remarkably improved. .

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings a method for acupressure body parts using acupressure according to the present invention will be described.

In this case, since the cylinder 122 is marked according to the strength of the acupressure, the user may easily arrange the dampers 120 to form a pattern according to the strength of the acupressure.

Here, the pattern desired by the user is arranged so that the central portion and the edge portion of the shiatsu 100 have different acupressure pressures, or in a form corresponding to parts of the body such as hands and feet, as shown in FIG. In order to strongly stimulate a specific reflection point or pressure point, the damper 120 having a strong compressive strength opposite to the reflection point or pressure point may be disposed to vary the strength of pressure. Of course, it may be arranged by varying the strength of the pressure to correspond to the curvature of the skin surface in contact with the body.

Thereafter, the user presses the body part to be pressed on the upper part of the acupressure rod 121 while pressing at a predetermined interval. Of course, it is also possible for a user to press the chiropractor 100 while touching and pressing the body part. For example, acupressure is performed by placing a user's foot on the upper portion of the acupressure rod 121 or a user makes acupressure after contacting the acupressure device 100 with a specific part of the body.

Here, when the user's skin is in contact with the acupressure rods 121 and an external force acts, the acupressure rods 121 are moved downward by respective compressive strengths, so that the acupressure rods 121 may apply different acupressure pressures according to contact parts of the body. .

Accordingly, the user selectively mounts the dampers 120 to the case 110, and a damper having a strong compressive strength marked by the color of the cylinder 122 where a portion of the body surface in need of strong stimulation is displayed according to the color of the cylinder 122. By placing the opposite to the 120) by repeatedly acupressure at a predetermined time interval can be an efficient acupressure with the same force, the acupressure effect can be maximized.
