Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a scraping plate, the scraping plate has functions of moxibustion and transdermal administration, and is capable of lubricating skin through a liquid medicine while scraping is performed, so as to maintain the skin at a comfortable temperature, which facilitates medicine absorption and achieves good scraping effect.

With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the scraping plate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, comprises: a main body 11, one end of the main body 11 being provided with a scraping blade 12, and the other end opposite to the scraping blade 12 being provided with a grip portion 13. The scraping plate further comprises a storage chamber 14 for storing liquid medicine and an electric heater 15 for heating the liquid medicine. Both the storage chamber 14 and the electric heater 15 are provided inside the main body 11. At least one liquid medicine outlet 121a is provided on the surface of the scraping blade 12, and each liquid medicine outlet 121 is communicated with the storage chamber 14.

As illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the scraping plate is provided with the scraping blade 12 at one end of the main body, and is provided with the grip portion 13 at the other end of the main body opposite to the scraping blade 12. In addition, the scraping plate is provided with the storage chamber 14 inside the main body 11, and provided with the electric heater 15 at an inner bottom of the storage chamber 14, and provided with a plurality of liquid medicine outlets 121, for example, four liquid medicine outlets 121 as illustrated in FIG. 2, on the surface of the scraping blade 12. While the scraping is performed on the skin with the above-described scraping plate, the liquid medicine filled in the storage chamber 14 is heated by the electric heater 15, and the liquid medicine within the storage chamber 14 flows out through the liquid medicine outlet 121 of the surface of the scraping blade 12. The liquid medicine has an increased temperature before flowing out because it has been heated by the electric heater 15. In this way, when the scraping is performed on the skin with the scraping blade 12, the heated liquid medicine in the storage chamber 14 flows out through the liquid medicine outlet 121 with movement of the scraping plate, and then be applied on the surface of the skin. On one hand, the heated liquid medicine can lubricate the skin and prevent the skin from being damaged by the repeated rubbing of the scraping plate; on the other hand, the heated liquid medicine can increase the temperature of the surface of the skin and perform moxibustion on the skin, which results in dilatation in skin pores and subcutaneous blood vessels in contact with the liquid medicine, and facilitating the liquid medicine to enter the skin. Then, the heated blood in the subcutaneous blood vessels can accelerate blood circulation. Therefore, at the same time of performing the scraping with the above-described scraping plate, it is not only capable of lubricating and heating the skin, so as to maintain the skin at a comfortable temperature, but also capable of performing administration and moxibustion through the skin, making the skin pores and subcutaneous blood vessels dilate with the heated liquid medicine, so as to increases the scraping effect and promote drug absorption.

Therefore, the scraping plate has functions of moxibustion and transdermal administration, and is capable of lubricating the skin with the liquid medicine at a same time when scraping is performed, so as to maintain the skin at a comfortable temperature, which facilitates drug absorption and has good scraping effect.

In at least some of embodiments, each liquid medicine outlet 121 is communicated with the storage chamber 14 through a connecting tube 16.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, each liquid medicine outlet 121 is communicated with the storage chamber 14 through the connecting tube 16. The connecting tube 16 comprises a main tube 161 and four branch tubes 162, one end of the main tube 161 is communicated with the storage chamber 14, and the other end is respectively communicated with four branch tubes 162. A valve 17 is provided on the main tube 161 to control the communication between the main tube 161 and the storage chamber 14, and to further control the communication between the storage chamber 14 and the liquid medicine outlets 121, so as to control whether or not the liquid medicine is applied on the surface of the skin while the scraping is performed.

The above-described respective branch tubes 162 may be capillaries, portions of the capillaries close to the scraping blade 12 are coiled within the main body, the scraping blade 12 is heated through the heated liquid medicine flowing through the capillary, so that the scraping blade 12 can be in contact with the skin under a comfortable temperature.

Depending on different positions where the electric heater 15 is provided, the scraping plate may have several implementations below:

In one example, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the electric heater 15 is provided at the inner bottom of the storage chamber 14.

In case that the electric heater 15 is provided at the inner bottom of the storage chamber 14, the electric heater 15 directly heats the liquid medicine in the storage chamber 14. While the liquid medicine is being heated, a volume of the liquid medicine or air in the storage chamber 14 will expand, so that a pressure will be generated and the pressure will push the liquid medicine to flow out. Therefore, in present example, the pressure for pushing the liquid medicine is generated while the liquid medicine is being heated.

In another example, the electric heater 15 is provided on an outer peripheral surface of the connecting tube 16.

In case that the electric heater 15 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting tube 16, the electric heater 15 surrounds the outer surface of the connecting tube 16 and heats the liquid medicine flowing in the connecting tube 16 through the connecting tube 16.

In yet another example, the electric heaters 15 are provided on the inner bottom of the storage chamber 14 and the outer peripheral surface of the connecting tube 16.

In case that the electric heaters 15 are provided on both the inner bottom of the storage chamber 14 and the outer peripheral surface of the connecting tube 16, the scraping plate is capable of sufficiently heating the liquid medicine through the respective electric heaters 15 provided on both the inner bottom of the storage chamber 14 and the outer peripheral surface of the connecting tube 16, which facilitates precise control of the temperature of the liquid medicine, so that the temperature of the liquid medicine is quickly reached to the desired temperature.

In the above-described embodiments, the electric heater 15 may be a microwave heater, an infrared heater or a resistance heater, and may also be other types of heaters is capable of heating the liquid medicine.

In case that the electric heater 15 is the microwave heater or the infrared heater, the electric heater 15 is provided outside the storage chamber 14 so as to heat the liquid medicine, and may prevent the electric heater 15 from contaminating the liquid medicine.

In case that the electric heater 15 is the infrared heater, the infrared heater may perform infrared therapy on the human body while heating the liquid medicine; infrared rays generated by the infrared heater may be applied to a site for therapy through clothes, and may also passes through the skin, so as to directly generate a heat effect on a muscle and subcutaneous tissue, which facilitates accelerating blood material circulation, increasing metabolism, reducing pain, promoting muscle relaxation, and resulting in a massage effect.

Therefore, when the electric heater 15 is the infrared heater, it is not only capable of performing scraping on the skin with the scraping plate, but also capable of performing physiotherapy on the human body through an emitted infrared ray, to generate a true multifunctional therapeutic effect.

In case that the electric heater 15 is the resistance heater, the resistance heater comprises positive and negative electrodes, and further comprises an electric heating wire or a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor, both ends of the electric heating wire or the PTC thermistor are respectively connected with the positive and negative electrodes, so that the electric heating wire or the PTC thermistor generate heat to heat the liquid medicine.

In at least some of embodiments, in order to facilitate turning on or turning off the electric heater 15, the above-described scraping plate further comprises a switch 20 provided on the main body 11 and configured for turning on or off the electric heater 12. The switch 20 may be provided on the surface of the main body, and the switch 20 is electrically connected with the electric heater 15, to turn on the electric heater 15 when it is necessary to heat the liquid medicine, and to turn off the electric heater 15 when it is not necessary to stop heating the liquid medicine, so that the scraping plate can be controlled easily.

In at least some of embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the scraping plate further comprises a valve 17, a pressure detector 24 and a controller 23.

The valve 17 is mounted on the connecting tube 16 for controlling open and close of an internal channel of the connecting tube 16, and the valve 16 is in signal communication with the controller 23.

The pressure detector 24 is provided inside the grip portion 13 and has at least a portion thereof exposed out of the grip portion 13, for detecting a pressure of the grip portion 13, and transmitting the detected pressure to the controller 23.

The controller 23 is provided inside the main body 11, and is in signal communication with the pressure detector 24.

The controller 23 compares the received pressure with a preset pressure, if the pressure is equal to or larger than the preset pressure, the controller 23 opens the valve 17 to open, so that the internal channel of the connecting tube 16 is communicated with the storage chamber 14.

Therefore, in a process of performing scraping with the above-described scraping plate, a pressure applied to the grip portion 13 by a user is detected by the pressure detector 24 in the grip portion 13, and the detected pressure is compared with the preset pressure. If the detected pressure is larger than the preset pressure, it is determined that the scraping plate is being configured for scraping, and the valve 17 is controlled to open through the controller 23, to allow the liquid medicine in the storage chamber 14 to flow toward the skin surface through the valve 17, the connection tube 16 and the liquid medicine outlet 121, which lubricates the skin with the liquid medicine, and at a same time, administrates the medicine through the skin.

Therefore, open and close of the valve 17 is controlled by the pressure detector 24 and the controller 23, which can accurately control supply of the liquid medicine, avoid waste of the liquid medicine, increase effective utilization ratio of the liquid medicine, and further reduce medication cost of a patient. In at least some of embodiments, the scraping plate may comprise a controller 23 and a valve 17, without a pressure detector 24. The valve 17 is, for example, an electromagnetic valve.

In at least some of embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the above-described scraping plate further comprises a temperature detector 21 provided inside the scraping blade 12 and a temperature controller 22 provided inside the main body 11.

The temperature detector 21 is configured for detecting a temperature of the liquid medicine in the liquid medicine outlet 121, and transmitting the detected temperature to the temperature controller 22.

The temperature controller 22 is in signal communication with both the temperature detector 21 and the electric heater 15, and controls the electric heater 15 according to the temperature transmitted by the temperature detector 21, so that the temperature of the liquid medicine in the storage chamber 14 is not smaller than the preset temperature.

In above-described scraping plate of the embodiment, the temperature detector 21 is configured for detecting the temperature of the liquid medicine in the liquid medicine outlet 121 and the temperature controller 22 is configured for controlling the electric heater 15. The temperature detector 21 transmits the detected temperature to the temperature controller 22, and the temperature controller 22 controls the electric heater 15, so as to control the temperature of the liquid medicine within reasonable working range. As a result, the scraping effect and transdermal administration effect can be increased, and the skin can be prevented from being scalded caused by the high temperature of the liquid medicine, moreover, the energy is saved.

In order to facilitate detecting the temperature of the liquid medicine in the liquid medicine outlet 121 provided in the scraping blade 12, the temperature detector 21 may be a temperature sensor, and may also be other detectors capable of detecting the temperature of the liquid medicine.

In order to increase applicability of the scraping plate with respect to different patients, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the main body 11 is provided with a liquid medicine injection port communicated with the storage chamber 14 and a seal cover 18 for sealing and covering the liquid medicine injection port.

Because the main body of the scraping plate is provided with the liquid medicine injection port and the seal cover 18, and the liquid medicine injection port is communicated with the storage chamber 14 through a catheter 19, an injector may be provided for injecting the liquid medicine to the storage chamber 14 through the liquid medicine injection port. In case that the liquid medicine in the storage chamber 14 is used up, new liquid medicine may be injected through the liquid medicine injection port, or liquid medicine with change in different recipes according to the condition of the patient may be injected through the liquid medicine injection port, so as to perform target therapy on the patient. Because the liquid medicine may be injected through the liquid medicine injection port, it is possible to reuse the scraping plate and inject special medical drugs for different patients, therefore, the utilization efficiency of the scraping plate can be increased, and the therapeutic effect on a disease can be increased.

The above-described seal cover 18 may be a rubber stopper, and may also be a plug screw with a sealing structure, and the like.

In order to increase the therapeutic effect of scraping, the scraping blade 12 is made of ceramic material, for example, ceramic material with micro-pores, so that the liquid medicine flows slowly out of micro-pores of the ceramic material, which allows the liquid medicine to be fully absorbed while lubricating the skin, increases the utilization ratio of the liquid medicine, and further increases the therapeutic effect. The scraping blade 12 may also be made of other materials, for example, Bian stone (i.e., stone used in acupuncture), an ox horn, or other materials suitable for the scraping plate.

Various regions of the skin may be scraped by the scraping plate. Due to different shapes in different regions of the skin, a liner bushing made of a flexible material is embedded into each liquid medicine outlet 121, in order to increase a matching degree between the scraping plate and different portions of the skin. The liner bushing is protruding from a corresponding liquid medicine outlet 121 out of the scraping blade 12, and the flexible material may be carbon nanotube rubber or silicon, or may be other types of flexible materials.
