The pressure sensor is positioned between the body and the outer layer corresponding to one of the body's acupuncture points. The message transceiver module is electrically connected to the pressure sensor to receive a message transmitted by it and send the message. Or the message sent is converted into another message. The message display unit is electrically connected to the message transceiver module to receive the message sent by the message transceiver module or another message and output a display signal; wherein, the pressure sensor is based on the acupoints of the human body. The attribute, position or depth defines the information as a pressure sensing value or a range of pressure sensing values.

Description

Acupuncture point training equipment

This creation relates to medical education and training equipment, especially an acupuncture point training equipment.

The earliest record of acupuncture in the Chinese nation is in the "Huangdi Neijing" published in 100 BC. It spread to Korea, Japan and other countries in the 6th century AD. It is now believed that alternative medicine has spread to all parts of the world. Acupuncture technology is a very important part of the training of traditional Chinese medicine. When performing acupuncture therapy, accurate needle position and technique are required to accurately and effectively implement the acupuncture points of traditional Chinese medicine. Among them, the acupuncture treatment method of acupuncture therapy has It is divided into three layers according to the depth: heaven, human and earth. When acupuncture reaches each layer, there will be a "needle sensation". The patient will feel soreness, swelling and numbness, while the doctor who inserts the acupuncture will feel the needle sticking. When performing acupuncture, The depth of acupuncture will be determined based on the condition of the patient.

Previous acupuncture teaching aids were nothing more than acupuncture models, anatomical models, etc., in which the locations of acupuncture points were drawn on the outer surface of a prosthetic limb. Such models could only provide medical staff with an understanding of the locations of acupuncture points, and practitioners were unable to practice them. Accept the learning results as a result.

Furthermore, a plurality of acupuncture points are distributed on the outer surface of a model body and cover the outer surface of the model body. Each acupuncture point is further embedded with a first electrical sensing end on the model body and is connected to a needle body. A second electrical sensing terminal is provided, and the first and second electrical sensing terminals are connected to a sensor respectively; in education and training, when the needle body contacts an acupuncture point, the first and second electrical sensing terminals are electrically It is turned on and the sensor outputs a signal, indicating that the practitioner is operating correctly. However, with such an electrical circuit design, if the practitioner presses it with his fingers, it is impossible to know whether the operation is correct. In other words, it cannot be performed with fingers. Understand the functions of acupuncture point locations.

The main purpose of this invention is to provide an acupuncture point training device that simulates the opaque outer layer of human skin and has a better educational and training effect for a Chinese medicine practitioner in acupuncture treatment.

The main purpose of this invention is to provide an acupuncture point training device, which has a better educational and training effect in recognizing the location of a human body's acupuncture points.

Another purpose of this invention is to provide an acupuncture point training device, which has better educational and training effects on the depth of acupuncture treatment.

The reason is that, in order to achieve the aforementioned purpose, this invention provides an acupuncture point training device, which at least includes a body, an outer layer, at least one pressure sensor, a message transceiver module and a message display unit. This system simulates a The shape of a limb of the human body, the outer layer is covered on the outer surface of the main body, and its material can be an opaque material. The pressure sensor is positioned between the main body and the outer layer corresponding to the position of one of the human acupuncture points of the main body. The message transceiver module is electrically connected to the pressure sensor and is used to receive a message transmitted by the pressure sensor and send a message or convert the sent message into another message. The message display unit is electrically connected to the message transceiver module. Receive the message sent by the message transceiver module or another message and output a display signal; wherein, the pressure sensor is defined based on the attributes, location or depth of the human body acupuncture points. The message is a pressure sensing value or a pressure in a range. The sensing value is used when an external force, such as a person's finger or a needle, is applied to the outer layer and the corresponding pressure sensor generates a message, then the pressure sensor transmits the message.

Below, the preferred embodiments of this invention are cited and further detailed descriptions are provided with diagrams as follows:

Please read Figures 1 to 5. The acupuncture point training device disclosed in this invention at least includes a body 11, an outer layer 12, at least one pressure sensor 13, a message transceiver module 14 and a message display unit 15.

The body 11 simulates the appearance of a limb of a human body, such as a head, an arm, a leg, a body, etc.

The outer layer 12 covers the outer surface of the body 11, and its material can be an opaque silicone or an opaque rubber.

The pressure sensor 13 is positioned between the body 11 and the outer layer 12 corresponding to one of the human acupuncture points of the body 11. It can be a capacitive (capacitive), a piezoelectric (piezoelectric) or a piezoelectric sensor. Resistive (piezoresistive).

The message transceiver module 14, such as an electronic circuit module, is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 13 and is used to receive a message transmitted by the pressure sensor 13 and send the message or send the message converted into another message.

The message display unit 15, such as a computer or an electronic circuit module, is electrically connected to the message transceiver module 14 and is used to receive the message or another message sent by the message transceiver module 14 and output a display signal. The signal at least includes light, sound, vibration, screen, image or any combination of the above.

Among them, the pressure sensor 13 defines the information as a pressure sensing value or a pressure sensing value in a range based on the attributes, location or depth of the human body acupuncture point, and is used to detect an external force 16 such as a person's finger or a pressure sensing value. When the needle is applied to the outer layer 12 and the corresponding pressure sensor 13 generates the message, the pressure sensor 13 transmits the message to the message transceiver module 14 .

The acupuncture point training equipment disclosed by this invention is designed like the opaque outer layer 12 of human skin, and has a better educational and training effect on a Chinese medicine practitioner's acupuncture point location on the human body or acupuncture treatment.
