Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of moxibustion medical technology, and specifically relates to a moxibustion smoke-removing device for soothing the liver and promoting lactation, and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] 1. Traditional manual moxibustion method: Directly apply moxa sticks to breast-related acupoints (such as Tanzhong and Rugen) for moxibustion, or place a general moxibustion box / can on the breast area.

[0003] shortcoming: Extremely inconvenient to operate: The breast is curved, and common instruments are difficult to fit stably. They need to be held or tied in place, and cannot be operated by oneself.

[0004] Significant safety hazards exist: open flames and ash can easily fall, causing skin burns or fires; temperature control relies entirely on experience, and the delicate skin of the breast is extremely susceptible to low-temperature burns.

[0005] Severe smoke pollution: The thick smoke produced by moxibustion permeates the indoor environment, irritates the respiratory tract, pollutes the home environment, and results in a poor user experience.

[0006] The therapeutic effect is difficult to guarantee: inaccurate acupoint location and uneven heat penetration affect the effect of moxibustion.

[0007] 2. Electric Heating Breast Moxibustion Device: This device uses an electric heating pad to heat moxa wool or powder, which is then fitted to the breast via a cup design. It integrates vibration and magnetic therapy functions, solving the problems of ease of operation, temperature control, and smokeless operation.

[0008] Disadvantages: Its "fireless and smokeless" heating method is believed to potentially alter the specific infrared spectrum (especially the near-infrared range) and complex medicinal volatile components produced when mugwort burns, which differs from the traditional open-flame moxibustion theory of "treating with both medicine and moxibustion," leading to doubts about its core efficacy among traditional users.

[0009] 3. Early attempts at simple open flame smoke reduction: Some products incorporated a simple smoke extraction tube attached to the outside of a standard moxibustion box, connecting to an external exhaust fan or filter bag. This partially reduced smoke diffusion.

[0010] shortcoming: Low smoke removal efficiency: Passive smoking or simple inhalation cannot effectively capture smoke the moment it is generated, causing smoke to escape.

[0011] The structure is bulky and inconvenient: the external pipes and equipment seriously affect the comfort and aesthetics of wearing it, and it is not suitable for breast-specific shapes that require a close fit.

[0012] The conflict between combustion control and smoke removal: rough ventilation can accelerate the burning of moxa sticks, or even cause them to go out or burn incompletely, thus damaging the moxibustion environment.

[0013] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a liver-soothing, lactation-promoting, and smoke-removing moxibustion device and its usage method. Summary of the Invention

[0014] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a liver-soothing and lactation-promoting moxibustion smoke-removing device and its usage method.

Attached Figure Description

[0026] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in this invention or the prior art, the drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0027] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the present invention; The components include: 1. Cover; 2. Robotic arm; 3. Moxibustion chamber; 4. Column; 5. Base; and 6. Casters. Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] This invention provides a smoke-reducing device for moxibustion that promotes liver function and lactation, and its method of use. It reduces the irritation of smoke to the respiratory tract of the operator and the recipient, lowers the risk of discomfort such as coughing and allergies caused by smoke, and makes the moxibustion process cleaner and more comfortable.

[0030] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] refer to Figure 1 A smoke-purifying device for moxibustion that promotes liver function and lactation includes a smoke purification system, a base, a column 4 mounted on the base, a robotic arm 2 mounted on the column 4, a cover 1 mounted on the robotic arm 2, and a moxibustion chamber 3 within the cover 1 for accommodating open-flame moxa sticks and providing combustion space. The smoke purification system is connected to the moxibustion chamber 3 and is used to collect and purify the moxibustion smoke. By setting up a smoke purification system that works in conjunction with the moxibustion chamber 3 within the cover 1, this invention effectively extracts and purifies the smoke within the moxibustion chamber 3, reducing the irritation of the smoke to the respiratory tract of the operator and the recipient, lowering the risk of coughing, allergies, and other discomforts triggered by the smoke, making the moxibustion process cleaner, more comfortable, and easier to accept and promote in modern homes or enclosed environments.

[0032] Furthermore, the smoke purification system includes a smoke inlet, an air duct, a fan, and a multi-stage filtration unit connected in sequence. The smoke inlet is connected to the moxibustion chamber 3; this smoke inlet adopts an ergonomic arc or ring structure, tightly connecting to the moxibustion therapy chamber. Its internal design utilizes the Venturi tube principle, creating a micro-negative pressure environment within the moxibustion chamber 3 by optimizing the opening angle and aperture. This not only quickly gathers the smoke and dust generated by burning moxa wool, directionally capturing it from the source to prevent smoke leakage, but also ensures that the moxibustion heat effect is not affected through precise airflow control, achieving "smoke locking without heat locking." The inner wall of the air duct has a special streamlined design, reducing eddies and resistance during airflow and lowering energy loss. Simultaneously, the air duct uses a heat-insulating sandwich structure, effectively isolating the heat from the high-temperature smoke from transferring to the outside of the air duct, ensuring equipment operation safety, and providing temperature pretreatment for the stable operation of subsequent filtration units. The fan uses a centrifugal silent fan. Through precise dynamic balancing, while ensuring high static pressure (sufficient to penetrate multiple layers of filters), the operating noise is controlled to an extremely low level. The fan has a variable frequency speed control function, which can automatically adjust the suction power according to the smoke concentration in the moxibustion chamber 3, so as to achieve a dynamic balance between energy saving and high efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, the multi-stage filtration unit includes at least two of the following: a pre-filter, an electrostatic precipitator, and an activated carbon adsorption module. The pre-filter (first line of defense) primarily targets large dust particles, hair, and unburned moxa wool. Without intercepting these large particles first, the subsequent high-efficiency modules will quickly become clogged, leading to system failure. The electrostatic precipitator (intermediate interception) targets fine particulate matter (especially PM2.5) with a particle size between 0.01 and 10 micrometers. It uses high-voltage electrostatic charge to charge the particles and adsorb them onto the collection plate, achieving extremely high collection efficiency for very fine dust. The activated carbon module (end-point purification) targets gaseous molecules. The odor of moxa smoke mainly comes from volatile organic compounds and tar vapors, which cannot be completely intercepted by physical filters or electrostatic filtration; therefore, physical adsorption (van der Waals forces) or chemical adsorption by activated carbon is necessary.

[0034] Furthermore, the air duct is arranged along the direction of the column 4 and is detachably connected to the outer wall of the column 4. The fan and the multi-stage multi-filter unit are set inside the base, and the base is equipped with an exhaust oil pipe that communicates with the multi-stage filter unit and extends to the outside of the base.

[0035] Furthermore, two covers 1 are provided, both of which are connected to the robotic arm 2. The edge area of ​​the cover 1 is provided with a sealing gasket. The double-cup design of the cover 1 conforms to the curve of the breast, which can ensure that the moxibustion head maintains a constant and safe distance and angle from specific acupoints (such as Tanzhong, Wuyi, and Rugen) or uncomfortable areas, avoiding the instability of holding the moxa stick and improving the accuracy and repeatability of the treatment.

[0036] Furthermore, the moxibustion chamber 3 is equipped with a retractable support, a fixing plate, and a connector slot, into which the moxibustion stick can be inserted; the retractable support is used to adjust the distance between the moxa stick and the skin by extending and retracting.

[0037] Furthermore, it includes an intelligent control system. This system comprises a temperature sensor mounted on the inner wall of the enclosure 1, and a control unit electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the fan. The control unit is configured to adjust the fan speed based on the temperature sensor signal. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature of the inner wall of the enclosure 1 (indirectly reflecting the temperature inside the moxibustion chamber 3) is too low, the control unit determines that heat loss is too rapid. At this time, it appropriately reduces the fan speed, decreasing the exhaust volume to allow heat to accumulate inside the chamber, ensuring the moxibustion temperature remains within the effective treatment range. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature exceeds a preset safety threshold, the control unit immediately increases the fan speed. The powerful suction quickly removes excess heat and smoke, rapidly reducing the temperature inside the chamber, preventing burns to the user's skin, and protecting the internal components of the device from high temperatures.

[0038] Furthermore, it also includes a Bluetooth module that communicates with a mobile APP to receive and display temperature data and set the moxibustion duration; a display module is provided on the column 4 to display the moxibustion duration and temperature data.

[0039] Furthermore, the base has casters 6 at the bottom, which facilitates the movement and locking of the entire device.

[0040] A method for using a liver-soothing, lactation-promoting, and smoke-removing moxibustion device includes the following steps: Ignite the moxibustion stick inside the cover 1 and turn on the fan; Start robotic arm 2 and adjust its angle so that the cover 1 reaches the designated position; The control system adjusts the fan speed based on the temperature from the temperature sensor. The smoke is filtered through a multi-stage filter, and the resulting moxa oil is discharged through the moxa oil exhaust pipe.

[0041] Any adaptive changes made according to actual needs are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0042] It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
