Suction pump valve nozzle and cupping device including the same {SUCTION PUMP VALVE NOZZLE AND CUPPING DEVICE COMPRISING THE SAME}

A suction pump valve nozzle and a cupping device including the same are disclosed. Specifically, a suction pump valve nozzle capable of limiting excessive negative pressure generated inside the cupping cup between the cupping cup and the suction pump and a cupping device including the same is disclosed.

Cupping therapy is applied in a variety of clinical applications for the purpose of treating or preventing diseases by placing the cup on the surface of the human body and forming negative pressure inside the cup to draw blood (dead blood) or by physical stimulation that causes congestion.

Hereinafter, a number of embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

Example 1.

1A and 1B, the suction pump valve nozzle 100 according to the first embodiment may include the same body portion 110 and the pressure control portion 120 as described above.

The pressure control part 120 may share the body part 110 and the inner space with each other, and the stopper 124 is an opening disposed on one side of the pressure control part 120 from the inner surface of the pressure control part 120. 122) direction can be arranged.

The pressure control unit 120 may also include an elastic member 126 at one end connected to the stopper 124 and a vertical shaft 128 at one end connected to the stopper 124.

The vertical axis 128 may be disposed along the center of the elastic member 126 having a spring shape, for example.

The body portion 110 may further include a fixing member 112 capable of fixing the other end of the elastic member 126 to the inner surface. A through path 2122 may be formed at the center of the fixing member 112.

The elastic member 126 may provide elasticity such that the stopper 124 is in contact with the inner surface of the pressure control unit 120, that is, the stopper 124 contacts the opening 122 and the inner space of the body 110 Can be closed.

The stopper 124 is moved according to the sound pressure of the inner space of the body portion 110, and may be moved according to the elastic force of the elastic member 126 providing elasticity to the stopper 124.

Specifically, when the elastic force of the elastic member 126 pushing the stopper 124 is greater than the sound pressure of the inner space of the body part 110, the stopper 124 can maintain a state in contact with the inner surface of the pressure control part 120, and , When the elastic force of the elastic member 126 pushing the stopper 124 is less than the negative pressure of the body part 110, the stopper 124 is spaced apart from the opening 122 of the pressure control part 120 and is opened, and the body The inner space of the part 110 and the outside of the body part 110 may communicate with each other.

Therefore, the sound pressure inside the body part 110 can be reduced, and when the sound pressure inside the body part 110 is less than the elastic force that the elastic member 126 pushes the stopper 124, the elastic member 126 is plugged again. The opening 122 may be closed by pushing 124 toward the inner surface of the pressure control unit 120.

As the stopper 124 moves, the vertical axis 128 connected to the stopper 124 is also moved, and the vertical axis 128 may be introduced into the through path 1122. The through path 1122 may be slightly larger than the thickness of the vertical axis 128.

The vertical axis 128 may limit the transverse movement of the elastic member 126 to prevent failure of the suction pump valve nozzle 100.

Example 2.

Referring to Embodiments 1 and 2, the suction pump valve nozzle 200 according to the second embodiment may include the same body portion 210 and the pressure control portion as described above.

In addition, the suction pump valve nozzle 200 according to the second embodiment includes a fixing member 212, a through path 2122, an opening 222, a stopper 224, and an elastic member 226 similar to those described in the first embodiment. ) And a vertical axis 228.

The pressure control unit of the suction pump valve nozzle 200 according to the second embodiment may further include a pressure control member 221 and a housing 223.

The housing 223 protrudes in a lateral direction of the body portion 210 and has one end open, and a pressure control member 221 may be disposed on an outer surface of the housing 223 to surround the housing 223.

The pressure control member 221 may cover the open end of the housing 223 to seal the pressure control unit (and the inner space of the body 210 ). An opening 222 may be formed on one surface of the pressure control member 221, and a stopper 224 may be disposed to contact the opening 222.

An elastic member 226 and a vertical shaft 128 are disposed at the rear of the stopper 224, and one end of the elastic member 226 may be fixed inside the body part 210 by a fixing member 212.

The outer surface of the housing 223 may be formed in a spiral shape, and a spiral corresponding to the spiral of the outer surface of the housing 223 is formed on the inner surface of the pressure control member 221 covering the housing 223 to control pressure with the housing 223 The members 221 may be fixed by engaging with each other.

The spiral inner surface of the pressure control member 221 may be rotated along the spiral outer surface of the housing 223, and the pressure control member 221 may be spaced apart from or close to the body 210 according to the rotation.

According to the movement of the pressure control member 221, the stopper 221 in contact with the inner surface of the pressure control member 221 may also move, and the elastic member 226 may expand and contract according to the movement of the stopper 221. .

The elastic member 226 may change its elastic force according to the expansion and contraction. Specifically, when the pressure control member 221 is moved in the direction of the body part 210, the elastic member 226 may be contracted to increase the restoring force, and the pressure control member 221 may move toward the outside of the body part 210. When moved, the elastic member 226 is elongated so that the restoring force may be reduced.

Accordingly, the elastic force is changed according to the elasticity of the elastic member 226, and accordingly, the maximum sound pressure of the inner space of the body part 210 in which the stopper 221 moves may be changed.

For example, when the pressure control member 221 is moved in the direction of the body part 210, the elastic force of the elastic member 226 is increased, so that the amount of sound pressure required for the stopper 221 to move can be increased, and pressure control When the member 221 is moved to the outside of the body portion 210, the elastic force of the elastic member 226 is reduced, so that the amount of sound pressure required for the stopper 221 to move may be reduced.

Accordingly, the maximum sound pressure allowed in the inner space of the body 210 may be adjusted by the rotation of the pressure control member 221.

When the pressure control member 221 and the housing 223 are rotated to the maximum, the pressure control member 221 can be separated from the housing 223, and accordingly, the pressure control member 221 can be replaced.
