Intelligent-type acupoint-selection moxibustion apparatus for rat thorax and abdomen

Abstract

The invention discloses an intelligent-type acupoint-selection moxibustion apparatus for the rat thorax and abdomen. The apparatus comprises a base, on which a rat fixation device, a mugwort control device and a smoke discharge device. The rat fixation device comprises a body fixation board fixed on the base through four support legs. The middle of the body fixation board is provided with a size-adjustable open hole, left and right sides of which are provided with open slots in parallel. Therefore, longitudinal beams are formed between the two open slots. The left and right longitudinal beams are fixed with bandages. The two bandages are adhered to each other through a magic plaster for fixing a rat. A discharge port is arranged behind the body fixation board. A detachable excreta collecting port is arranged below the discharge port.The intelligent-type acupoint-selection moxibustion apparatus for the rat thorax and abdomen has following beneficial effects: the rat can be fixed in a prone position such that the rat can remain in a physiological posture and subjected to acupoint-selection moxibustion; and due to the fact that the size-adjustable open hole is arranged in the body fixation board, the thorax and abdomen can be exposed according to needs on the basis of the figure of the rat so that experimental accuracy is ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an intelligent rat chest and abdomen meridian moxibustion device, which belongs to the technical field of animal experiment equipment. Background technique [0002] With the development of modern medicine and the country's emphasis on medicine, researchers are doing more and more research on moxibustion. A research result that can stand the test of practice must be obtained from animal experiments. At present, the main research object of moxibustion is rats. Rats have strong aggressiveness and free movement, and poor fixation will affect the experimental results, lead to the failure of the experiment and even bite incidents. [0003] Prone position is the physiological position of rats, which causes little disturbance to animals. But first of all, the currently used rat fixers generally keep the rats in the supine position, or cannot expose the chest and abdomen acupoints at the same time when the prone position is adopted, w...

Problems solved by technology

But first of all, the currently used rat fixers generally keep the rats in the supine position, or cannot expose the chest and abdomen acupoints at the same time when the prone position is adopted, which cannot meet the needs of acupuncture and moxibustion. Without fixing and controlling the moxa stick, the experimenter needs to hold the moxa stick to moxibustion the rats, which is time-consuming and laborious; in addition, the strong moxa smoke will have adverse effects on the rats during moxibustion
