Acupuncture needle capable of measuring six-component micro force of acupuncture manipulation in traditional Chinese medicine

Abstract

The invention relates to an acupuncture needle capable of measuring six-component micro force of acupuncture manipulation in traditional Chinese medicine. All twirling strain sheets and translation strain sheets are pasted to twirling strain beams respectively, and all swing strain sheets and insertion strain sheets are pasted to insertion strain beams respectively. Signal lines of all the twirling strain sheets, translation strain sheets, swing strain sheets and insertion strain sheets penetrate through an inner hole of a needle handle, one end of the needle handle is connected with all the twirling strain sheets, translation strain sheets, swing strain sheets and insertion strain sheets separately to form a bridge, and the other end of the needle handle is communicated with a dynamic-static strain tester separately. According to the acupuncture needle, during needle insertion, the force F and moment M which are generated in the x, y and z directions are collected separately, collected data is subjected to following analysis processing through a computer, real-time quantification measurement for the stress of a needle body in the acupuncture process is achieved, the experimental means and scientific basis are provided for research of the acupuncture manipulation and objective evaluation for the therapeutic effect of acupuncture, and a new technological means is also provided for measurement of multi-component micro force and micro-displacement signals in the other fields of biomedical engineering.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to acupuncture-like filiform needles of traditional Chinese medicine and the related field of biomedical engineering, in particular to an acupuncture needle capable of measuring six components of micro-force in acupuncture techniques of traditional Chinese medicine. Background technique [0002] Acupuncture is to insert the filiform needle into the patient's body according to certain acupoints, and use acupuncture techniques such as twisting and lifting to treat diseases. There are three main therapeutic effects of acupuncture and moxibustion: dredging the meridians, harmonizing yin and yang, strengthening the body and eliminating pathogenic factors. The basic techniques mainly include lifting and inserting and twirling. In addition to the basic techniques, there are also auxiliary techniques, including walking, scraping, flicking, shaking, and trembling. Real-time data collection and information processing research on force para...
