Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This patent application claims priority of International Patent Application No. PCT/CN2023/071836, filed on Jan. 12, 2023, which claims the priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202211087235.X filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on Sep. 07, 2022, and entitled “Microwave physiotherapy acupoint acupuncture device and use method thereof”, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of microwave acupoint acupuncture devices, and in particular to a microwave physiotherapy acupoint acupuncture device and a use method thereof.


BACKGROUND

Microwave refers to an electromagnetic wave with a frequency from 300 MHz to 300 GHz, which is the abbreviation of a limited frequency band in radio waves, i.e., the electromagnetic wave with a wavelength from 1 mm to 1 meter. Microwave frequency is higher than that of ordinary radio waves, which is also commonly called “ultra-high frequency electromagnetic wave”. As the electromagnetic wave, microwave also has wave-particle duality. The basic properties of the microwave usually show three characteristics: penetration, reflection and absorption.


Microwave acupuncture is a method of treating diseases by connecting a microwave antenna to a needle handle and injecting microwaves into acupoints or directly irradiating the acupoints based on filiform needle acupuncture. It is a new acupuncture therapy combining modern microwave technologies with traditional acupuncture methods.


At present, existing microwave physiotherapy acupoint acupuncture instruments in the market are single instruments with a single probe, and the single probe needs to be held by a worker for an acupuncture operation. When multiple acupoints of a patient are required to be acupunctured at the same time, the existing microwave physiotherapy acupoint acupuncture instruments cannot meet the requirements.


SUMMARY

A microwave physiotherapy acupoint acupuncture device and a use method thereof are provided. Compared with the existing microwave acupuncture equipment, an integrated microwave physiotherapy acupoint acupuncture device structure is employed, when a patient lies on a physiotherapy couch, ten acupoints of the patient can be subjected to microwave physiotherapy at the same time, and a lying posture of the patient can be adjusted through an electric physiotherapy couch, thus further improving the effect of microwave physiotherapy.


The technical solution adopted by the present disclosure for solving the technical problems is as follows:


A microwave physiotherapy acupoint acupuncture device includes a main console, and a physiotherapy couch. An end part of the physiotherapy couch is provided with a mounting frame and a control box. The mounting frame is provided with a patient parameter display screen, a microwave source is arranged inside the control box, and a control panel is arranged outside the control box. A side part of the physiotherapy couch is provided with a mounting box, a microwave magnetron is arranged inside the mounting box, and a mechanical arm is arranged at a top of the mounting box. An end part of the mechanical arm is provided with a microwave probe, and the microwave magnetron is connected to the microwave probe at the end part of the mechanical arm through a line. The main console is respectively connected to the display screen, the microwave source, the control panel, the microwave magnetron, and the microwave probe through lines. The control panel is respectively connected to the display screen, the microwave source, the microwave magnetron, and the microwave probe through lines.


At least ten microwave magnetrons are arranged inside the mounting box, and at least ten mechanical arms are arranged at the top of the mounting box. Each microwave magnetron is correspondingly connected to the microwave probe on one of mechanical arms through a line.


The mechanical arm is a three-joint mechanical arm, or a universal bamboo pipe.


The mounting frame is of n circular arc structure, and a metal detector is arranged on a lower side face of a top of the mounting frame.


The physiotherapy couch is an electric physiotherapy couch.


A use method of a microwave physiotherapy acupoint acupuncture device includes the following steps:


(a) turning on a power supply and electrifying the whole acupoint acupuncture device, thus making the microwave physiotherapy acupoint acupuncture device in a standby state at the moment;


(b) settling a patient on a physiotherapy couch 2, confirming that no metal is on and in the body of the patient, confirming acupoints to be subjected to physiotherapy, and adjusting positions of mechanical arms to align with the acupoints;


(c) setting duration of physiotherapy, where the duration of physiotherapy is 0 to 30 minutes for a single session, preferably 15 minutes for a single session and three sessions for a course of treatment;


(d) turning on microwave sources one by one through a main console or a control panel, adjusting output power to an acceptable range of the body of the patient, paying close attention to reaction of the patient during physiotherapy, communicating with the patient for body feeling in time, and pressing a stop button immediately to cut off the microwave output instantly in case of an emergency;


(e) if the patient has no adverse reaction, sending, by the control panel, a prompt tone five seconds before the end of physiotherapy, then stopping microwave output, and printing, by the main console, physiotherapy parameters; and


(f) removing the mechanical arms from the body of the patient, slowly settling the patient in a rest area to rest for 10 minutes, where after the observation period, the patient is free to move if no abnormal reaction exists.


A microwave connection port is checked and screwed before physiotherapy, and a microwave probe interface is checked again after physiotherapy, so as to ensure the firmness and reliability of the interface.


The microwave probes cannot be directly opposed to each other.


The present disclosure has the beneficial effects that:


By adopting the above technical solution, the present disclosure has the beneficial effects that:


Compared with the existing microwave acupuncture equipment, an integrated microwave physiotherapy acupoint acupuncture device structure is employed, when a patient lies on a physiotherapy couch, ten acupoints of the patient can be subjected to microwave physiotherapy at the same time, and a lying posture of the patient can be adjusted through an electric physiotherapy couch, thus further improving the effect of microwave physiotherapy. Ten existing microwave acupuncture devices are required to achieve the use effect of the acupoint acupuncture device of the present disclosure. Microwave treatment of diseases is mainly achieved through thermal and biological effects. When acting on body tissues, the microwave may cause high-frequency oscillation of ions, water molecules and dipoles in tissue cells. When the microwave is low in output energy and less in radiant heat energy, local blood circulation can be increased, local metabolism can be accelerated, and local immunity can be enhanced. Therefore, the device can effectively improve local blood circulation, promote edema absorption, diminish inflammation, and relieve pain.


In conclusion, a microwave physiotherapy acupoint acupuncture device and a use method thereof are provided. Compared with the existing microwave acupuncture equipment, an integrated microwave physiotherapy acupoint acupuncture device structure is employed, when a patient lies on a physiotherapy couch, ten acupoints of the patient can be subjected to microwave physiotherapy at the same time, and a lying posture of the patient can be adjusted through an electric physiotherapy couch, thus further improving the effect of microwave physiotherapy.
