Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of moxibustion, and in particular is a Chinese medicine internal medicine moxibustion therapy auxiliary device for spleen and stomach patients. Background Art

[0002] According to traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen governs transportation and transformation, while the stomach governs reception. The two are closely related. Spleen and stomach dysfunction is one of the important causes of epigastric pain, while spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness are typical manifestations of spleen and stomach dysfunction. The main symptoms are spleen yang deficiency and insufficient stomach qi, which lead to cold and dampness stagnation in the spleen and stomach, causing abdominal pain and discomfort. Chinese medicine acupoint application combined with moxibustion treatment is a comprehensive Chinese medicine treatment method that aims to regulate the balance of qi, blood, yin and yang in the human body and improve the function of internal organs, so as to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. Moxibustion is the use of the heat generated by the burning of moxa leaves to act on specific acupoints to warm the meridians, promote the circulation of qi and blood, and thus improve the symptoms of spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness.

[0003] Suspended moxibustion is a moxibustion method that suspends moxa sticks at a certain height from the acupuncture points for fumigation. According to the characteristics of the moxa sticks in the moxibustion process, it is divided into mild moxibustion, sparrow pecking moxibustion and spiral moxibustion. Industry insiders have confirmed that the moxibustion method is more effective than acupuncture in improving the TCM symptoms of patients with spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness through the method of suspended moxibustion. In patients with liver and stomach disharmony, the effect of acupuncture is better than suspended moxibustion, which shows that the warming and cold-dispersing effect of moxibustion is more suitable for patients with spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness.

[0004] After examining the moxibustion auxiliary equipment available on the market, we found that they have certain design flaws. The moxibustion points cannot be adjusted quickly, the adjustment speed is slow, and the moxibustion position cannot accurately correspond to the acupoint range. In addition, most devices require a lot of manual labor when performing moxibustion, and some mechanized steps are difficult to achieve accurately by manual labor. If you are not an experienced person, large errors may occur. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem that the moxibustion position is not accurate enough and cannot be flexibly adjusted, the purpose of the present invention is to design a moxibustion therapy auxiliary device that can accurately locate the acupoints during use and can automatically adjust according to the patient.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme of the present invention is as follows: a kind of Chinese medicine internal medicine moxibustion therapy auxiliary equipment for spleen and stomach patients, comprising a combustion chamber and a fumigation chamber, a moxa stick is arranged in the combustion chamber, a plurality of infrared ranging sensors are arranged on the upper wall of the fumigation chamber, the infrared ranging sensor signal is connected with the main control module, a telescopic device is arranged at the bottom of the fumigation chamber, the telescopic device is connected with the main control module signal, the telescopic device is wrapped with a heat insulation layer, a first opening corresponding to the bottom of the combustion chamber is opened at the top of the fumigation chamber, the combustion chamber is located directly above the first opening, a plurality of openings are opened circumferentially on the chamber wall of the fumigation chamber, electromagnetic valves are arranged on the openings, and the electromagnetic valves are connected with the main control module signal.

[0007] The principle of the basic scheme is: the fumigation chamber can obtain the current height of the fumigation chamber relative to the patient's skin according to the infrared distance sensor. Through the pre-programmed program and the telescopic device, the distance between the upper wall of the fumigation chamber and the patient's skin, that is, the moxibustion distance, can be adjusted;

[0008] When the combustion chamber starts to burn moxa sticks and release hot air, all the electromagnetic valves are closed, and the hot air coming out of the combustion chamber will gather in the fumigation chamber. When the electromagnetic valve on one side is opened, the outside air pressure is lower than the air pressure inside the fumigation chamber, and the hot air will rush toward the opening of the electromagnetic valve.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the basic scheme are: compared with the existing technology, this technical scheme uses electromagnetic valve switches to control different directions, and uses the characteristic of gas flowing from high pressure to low pressure to achieve the purpose of controlling the flow direction of hot air. Combining this method with moxibustion, the hot air generated during moxibustion can be guided to the top of the acupoints, so as to achieve moxibustion of designated acupoints without having to change the position of the equipment many times, which can reduce the work steps of medical staff; and by controlling the height of moxibustion through a program, it can ensure that the same effect can be achieved for patients of different body shapes during moxibustion, avoiding insufficient control of the distance during manual positioning, which may cause skin burns to the patient.

[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of annular protrusions are provided on the inner wall of the combustion chamber, annular grooves are provided on the outer wall of the combustion chamber corresponding to the annular protrusions, a combustion chamber shell is provided on the outer side of the combustion chamber, and a plurality of discs engaging with the annular grooves are provided on the inner wall of the combustion chamber shell.

[0011] The beneficial effect of the basic scheme is that the combustion chamber can be fixed on the combustion chamber outer shell by cooperating with the disc of the combustion chamber outer shell through the annular groove on the outer wall, and the protrusion inside it can resist the moxa stick, so that there are more gaps inside the combustion chamber, which can give the moxa stick more combustion space.

[0012] Furthermore, a ventilation duct is provided on the top of the combustion chamber shell, and the ventilation duct is connected to a blower.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the basic solution are: the ventilation duct and the blower cooperate to deliver oxygen into the combustion chamber to ensure the continuous combustion of the moxa stick, and provide air pressure inside the combustion chamber to ensure that the hot air from the burning moxa stick flows downward.

[0014] Furthermore, a piston plate is fixedly connected to the connection point between the ventilation duct and the combustion chamber shell, and an elastic device is fixedly connected to the bottom of the piston plate.

[0015] The beneficial effect of the basic solution is that the piston plate will slide downward when subjected to the wind pressure of the blower, thereby ensuring that the elastic device is squeezed downward and that the elastic device does not pop outward.

[0016] Furthermore, a second opening is provided at the top of the combustion chamber, the elastic device extends through the second opening into the combustion chamber, the bottom of the elastic device rests against the moxa stick, a flame retardant layer is provided on the inner wall of the combustion chamber, the top of the flame retardant layer is flush with the top of the combustion chamber, and the bottom of the flame retardant layer is located above the bottom of the moxa stick.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the basic solution are: the elastic device presses against the moxa stick to ensure that the moxa stick slides downward; because the moxa stick is affected by its shape and density when burning, the burning direction may burn upward first, and the flame retardant layer is arranged on the upper part of the moxa stick, which can control the burning direction of the moxa stick and ensure that the bottom of the moxa stick is burned before the upper part is burned. The elastic device and the flame retardant layer work together to ensure that the moxa stick is completely burned.

[0018] Furthermore, a burning pad is provided at the bottom of the moxa stick, and the burning pad includes a caliper and a truncated cone seat. The truncated cone seat is in a hemispherical ring shape, and the calipers are circumferentially distributed on the top of the truncated cone seat. The calipers are all protruding upward, and a lighter is provided on the top of the calipers.

[0019] The beneficial effect of the basic solution is that the caliper leaves a gap between the moxa stick and the base of the combustion chamber to ensure the combustion space of the moxa stick, and the lighters around the bottom of the moxa stick are ignited at the same time to ensure that the moxa stick burns more evenly.

[0020] Furthermore, a support plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fumigation chamber, and bracket columns are arranged on both sides of the support plate.

[0021] The beneficial effect of the basic solution is that the bracket plays a fixing role to ensure that the device does not shake when in use.

[0022] Furthermore, a plurality of exhaust fans are arranged on the support plate, and air inlets of the exhaust fans are located on both sides of the fumigation chamber.

[0023] The beneficial effect of the basic scheme is that when the exhaust fan is started, the air flow rate on both sides of the fumigation chamber can be accelerated. According to the Bernoulli principle, the air flow rate outside the fumigation chamber increases and the air pressure decreases, which can better guide the hot air inside the fumigation chamber out.

[0024] Furthermore, a collecting pipe is provided at the air outlet of the exhaust fan, and the collecting pipe is connected to a collecting box.

[0025] The beneficial effect of the basic solution is that the hot air from the burning moxa sticks is cleaned from the collection tube to the collection box through the exhaust fan, ensuring that the indoor environment is not filled with smoke.

[0026] Furthermore, an iris is provided at the bottom of the combustion chamber, a drive motor is provided inside the iris, and the drive motor is connected to the main control module signal.

[0027] The beneficial effect of the basic solution is that the iris can control the size of the opening through which hot air gushes out of the combustion chamber, that is, control the pressure of the hot air gushes out. The higher the pressure, the faster the hot air gushes onto the skin, and the higher the temperature the patient's skin is exposed to. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

A first opening corresponding to the bottom of the combustion chamber 1 is opened at the top of the fumigation chamber 6, and the combustion chamber 1 is located directly above the first opening. A plurality of openings are opened in the circumferential direction of the chamber wall of the fumigation chamber 6, and electromagnetic valves 201 are arranged on the openings, and the electromagnetic valves 201 are connected to the main control module 204 by signal; a plurality of annular protrusions are arranged on the inner wall of the combustion chamber 1, and annular grooves are arranged on the outer wall of the combustion chamber 1 corresponding to the annular protrusions, a combustion chamber shell 3 is arranged on the outer side of the combustion chamber 1, and a plurality of discs engaged with the annular grooves are arranged on the inner wall of the combustion chamber shell 3, and a ventilation duct 11 is arranged at the top of the combustion chamber shell 3, and the ventilation duct 11 is connected to a blower.

[0034] A piston plate 10 is fixedly connected to the connection point between the ventilation duct 11 and the combustion chamber housing 3, and an elastic device 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the piston plate 10. A second opening is opened at the top of the combustion chamber 1, and the elastic device 4 extends into the combustion chamber 1 through the second opening. The bottom of the elastic device 4 is against the moxa column 5. The inner wall of the combustion chamber 1 is provided with a flame retardant layer, and the top of the flame retardant layer is flush with the top of the combustion chamber 1, and the bottom of the flame retardant layer is located above the bottom of the moxa column 5. An iris 7 is provided at the bottom of the combustion chamber 1, and the iris 7 is connected to the main control module 204 by signal; a combustion pad is provided at the bottom of the moxa column 5, and the combustion pad includes a caliper 102 and a truncated pedestal seat 103, the truncated pedestal seat 103 is hemispherical, and the calipers 102 are circumferentially distributed on the top of the truncated pedestal seat 103, and the calipers 102 are all protruding upward, and a lighter 101 is provided on the top of the calipers 102. A support plate 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fumigation chamber 6, and support columns 8 are arranged on both sides of the support plate 9. A plurality of exhaust fans 12 are arranged on the support plate 9. The air inlets of the exhaust fans 12 are located on both sides of the fumigation chamber 6. Collection pipes are arranged at the air outlets of the exhaust fans 12, and the collection pipes are connected to the collection boxes.

[0035] The specific implementation process is as follows: after the patient lies down with his back facing upward, the device is covered on his back to ensure that the fumigation chamber 6 covers the acupuncture points on his back. The infrared distance sensor 203 controls to measure the current distance between the fumigation chamber 6 and the patient's back and reflects it to the main control module 204. The main control module 204 controls the telescopic device to adjust the distance to the set height, thereby the moxibustion height can be set by the program to avoid manual errors.

[0036] After the preparation work is completed, the switch of the main control module 204 is turned on, the lighter 101 starts to ignite the moxa stick 5, the iris 7 opening is controlled by the main control module 204 to control the driving motor to open, and the blower starts to deliver air pressure into the combustion chamber 1. The hot air from the burning moxa stick 5 flows downward under the action of the wind pressure and flows into the fumigation chamber 6 through the iris 7. All electromagnetic valves 201 are closed. After the acupoints to be moxibustioned are determined, the electromagnetic valves 201 in the corresponding directions are opened, and the exhaust fans 12 on both sides of the fumigation chamber 6 are turned on. The gas flow rate outside the fumigation chamber 6 is accelerated. According to the Bernoulli principle, the air pressure outside the fumigation chamber 6 becomes lower, and the hot air in the fumigation chamber 6 flows into the air pressure increase. According to the characteristic of gas flowing from high pressure to low pressure, the hot air begins to flow out from the opened electromagnetic valve 201, and just passes above the corresponding acupoint, while less hot air remains above other acupoints, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the moxibustion acupoints.

[0037] As the moxa stick 5 burns, the contact area between the bottom and the caliper 102 decreases, the upward pressure on the elastic device 4 decreases, the elastic device 4 begins to recover its deformation, and exerts pressure on the moxa stick 5 downward, forcing it to drop down and leave the range of the flame retardant layer, thereby controlling the burning direction of the moxa stick 5. At the same time, due to the presence of the caliper 102, the complete burning of the moxa stick 5 can be ensured.
