Description

multifunctional cupping machine

The present invention relates to a multifunctional cupping machine, and more particularly, to measure the negative pressure level in a cupping cup and maintain optimal negative pressure according to the output of the measurement information, as well as to improve muscle tone by relaxing muscles stiffened by negative pressure. ), it is about a multifunctional cupping machine that can alleviate the problem.

Cupping therapy is a method of stimulating body parts by adsorbing a jar-shaped cup to the surface of the body and then generating negative pressure in the cup (causing hyperemia and blood loss). It is a traditional physical therapy that diagnoses, prevents, and treats diseases through physical therapy. Although there are slight differences in each culture, it comprehensively refers to the act of removing toxins from the body by generating negative pressure with a cupping device.

Looking at the origins of this cupping therapy, in the East, in the 「Juhu Bigeupbang」 compiled by Gal Hong (葛洪) of China's Qin Dynasty and improved by Tao Hong-gyeong (陶弘景) of Yang Dynasty, a cup was made with ox horns to induce the discharge of boils and pus. is said to have been used. In the West, evidence of cupping being used by doctors before the time of ancient Greece can be found, and through the Middle Ages, it has developed into cupping therapy in England, cchropfkopf in Germany, and ventouse in France. did

In the early cupping machine (cupping cup), a cupping cup was set on fire to remove (burn) the oxygen in the cup to form a negative pressure in the cup. Methods of forming negative pressure in the cup by removing (discharging) have been developed.

However, due to the structural and functional characteristics of existing cupping devices, it is not easy to form customized negative pressure according to the body (constitution, etc.) of the person to be treated (patient), and as a result, various problems (excessive hyperemia and blood loss, excessive muscle tension, etc.) have been exposed. Furthermore, even in the case of a professional operator (oriental doctor, etc.), the intensity control of the sound pressure is completely dependent on his or her experience.

Accordingly, through reference to Republic of Korea Utility Model Publication No. 20-2009-0009324, a vacuum measuring device is attached to measure the negative pressure when the operator generates negative pressure in the cupping machine and to adjust the vacuum level by part or condition according to the patient. A cupping machine has been disclosed.

First, in cupping therapy, which diagnoses, prevents, and treats a specific disease by causing congestion or stagnation in body parts using negative pressure, it is necessary to grasp the negative pressure value to maintain an appropriate negative pressure condition, as well as to relax muscles stiffened by negative pressure and blood pressure. The multi-functional cupping device (A) of the present invention can be used for various purposes of relieving muscle tone by improving circulation.

To this end, in a state where the jar-shaped cupping cup (1) is adsorbed to the body surface of a specific body part of the person to be treated for cupping therapy, a prepared mechanical pump is used to clean the inner space (11) of the cupping cup (1). Air is removed (discharged) so that negative pressure is generated in the internal space 11, thereby causing congestion and blood loss for the purpose of diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of the aforementioned specific disease.

At this time, when negative pressure is generated in the inner space 11 of the cupping cup 1 as described above, the negative pressure sensor 21 of the detection module 2 disposed inside the cupping cup 1 detects the inner space 11 The sound pressure value of is measured, and the measurement information is displayed through the information display unit 22 of the detection module 2 exposed at a predetermined position on the circumference of the cupping cup 1. For example, by being displayed in the form of blue, yellow, and red, the user (operator, patient) can grasp the aforementioned negative pressure level with the naked eye, and customized cupping therapy for each body characteristic of the recipient is possible.

In addition, by operating the massage means 4, muscle tension can be relieved through the relaxation of convexly raised muscles and improvement of blood circulation due to the generation of negative pressure in the inner space 11 of the cupping cup 1.

Specifically, the driving motor 41 of the massage means 4 is driven by manipulating the operation button provided in the information display unit 22 of the detection module 2, so that the rotating shaft 410 of the driving motor 41 is By being rotated, the driving gear 44, the acupressure sphere 45, and the vibrating body 46 coupled to the rotating shaft 410 are rotated simultaneously.

You can achieve the maximum possible effect.
