Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to fumigation therapy equipment, and particularly to a seated fumigation therapy equipment and fumigation therapy method, belonging to the field of medical device technology. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine fumigation is a comprehensive chemical and physical therapy that uses hot medicinal steam as the therapeutic agent. The medicinal steam penetrates, transports, and is absorbed through the skin, directly reaching the lesion. With the continuous development of modern medicine and technological innovation, seated fumigation equipment is a common and widely used fumigation device for treating anorectal and vaginal diseases. Currently, automatically controlled seated fumigation equipment has achieved widespread application, and its therapeutic effect is generally recognized in the industry. Current seated fumigation equipment generally uses a "toilet"-style fumigation seat, with the inner cavity of the "toilet" serving as the fumigation chamber. The seat is equipped with automatic temperature, liquid level, and steam output control mechanisms. The fumigation pot's steam outlet connects to the fumigation chamber. During fumigation, the patient sits in the fumigation chamber to receive treatment. Strict temperature control of the fumigation chamber's temperature is crucial; otherwise, excessive heat can cause burns. A fumigation temperature sensor is installed inside the chamber for monitoring the temperature. Currently, the temperature is controlled primarily by adjusting the steam output from the fumigation pot based on the sensor's reading. However, practical experience has revealed the following issues with the current fully automated fumigation equipment, requiring optimization: Firstly, because the degree of sealing within the fumigation chamber varies depending on the patient, the steam output speed varies. The effects differ. If the steam escapes quickly, the temperature inside the fumigation chamber generally won't exceed the limit. The steam carrying the medication can continuously enter the fumigation pot to treat the affected area. The rapid flow and turnover of steam in the fumigation area results in better treatment effects. However, if the steam escapes slowly, the temperature inside the fumigation chamber can easily exceed the limit. This means less steam flows from the fumigation pot into the fumigation chamber within a single fumigation cycle, and the effective steam flow to the fumigation area cannot meet the requirements. The steam essentially forms a "dead zone" in the fumigation area, resulting in a lower effective dosage of fumigation medication and affecting the efficacy of the fumigation. Secondly, the conditions treated by patients using seated fumigation equipment vary, and the treatment areas differ. Generally, these facilities accumulate a large number of bacteria. In some cases, patients may discharge bodily fluids or pus during treatment, which can contaminate the equipment and cause cross-infection when patients use it. Thirdly, it is impossible to thoroughly clean and disinfect the treatment area before, during, and after treatment. If dirt adheres to the fumigation area before treatment, it will affect the fumigation effect. During treatment, the fumigation drug will also adhere to the fumigation area. If it is not cleaned off in time, it will affect the subsequent fumigation gas from working. If it is not thoroughly cleaned after fumigation, it will cause discomfort to the patient. The commonly used method is to wash with water after the patient leaves the seat. This method is difficult to cover completely, has poor effect, and provides a poor experience. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the aforementioned problems existing in current fumigation equipment and fumigation therapy, and to provide a fully automatic multifunctional seated fumigation therapy device and fumigation therapy method.
[0004] To achieve the objectives of this invention, the following technical solution is adopted: a fully automatic multifunctional seated fumigation therapy device, including a seat, the lower part of which is a cavity, and a shell surrounding the cavity. A fumigation pot is installed inside the shell. The fumigation pot has a liquid temperature detection sensor and a liquid level detection sensor. The steam outlet of the fumigation pot is connected to the fumigation chamber. A fumigation temperature sensor is installed inside the fumigation chamber. During fumigation, the patient sits above the fumigation chamber. An exhaust port is provided on the fumigation chamber and is connected to the outside through an exhaust channel. An air duct leading to the fumigation chamber is installed near the fumigation chamber. A heating wire is installed in the air duct. A turbine fan is fixedly installed at the beginning of the air duct. An air outlet temperature sensor is provided at the outlet of the air duct. The fumigation pot is connected to the fumigation chamber through a steam spray pipe. The steam spray pipe extends into the fumigation chamber and has a steam outlet facing downwards. A drain pipe is connected to the bottom of the fumigation chamber.
[0005] It also includes a telescopic cleaning device that can extend into the fumigation chamber. The telescopic cleaning device includes a mounting frame, on which an outer sleeve is fixedly mounted. The outer sleeve has an elongated hole along its axial direction on its wall. An inner sleeve is slidably fitted inside the outer sleeve. The inner sleeve has a rack, which corresponds to the elongated hole and meshes with a drive gear. A telescopic motor is fixedly connected to the mounting frame. A primary gear is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the telescopic motor. The primary gear and the drive gear are driven by one or more intermediate gears. A water distribution device is fixedly connected to the mounting frame. The water distribution device includes a water distribution motor. A water jacket is fixedly connected to the end of the water distribution motor, and the water jacket has a water inlet. A water distribution plate is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the water distribution motor. The output of the water distribution motor... The shaft passes through the water jacket. The water distribution plate has a water passage hole and is fixedly and sealed to the water jacket with a water distribution cavity. The water distribution plate is located inside the water jacket, and the periphery of the water distribution plate is sealed with the water jacket. The water distribution cavity has three arc-shaped grooves centered on the output shaft of the water distribution motor. Each arc-shaped groove has a water outlet. One of the three water outlets is connected to the front end of the outer sleeve via a hose as self-cleaning water. The other two water outlets are connected to the water connectors on the spray head via hoses passing through the inner sleeve. The two water connectors on the spray head are connected to an upward water outlet. The water inlet is connected to a water inlet pipe. A solenoid valve A, a pressure reducing valve, and an instant heater are installed on the water inlet pipe. A flushing water temperature sensor is installed on the water inlet pipe after the instant heater.
[0006] The liquid temperature sensor, liquid level sensor, fumigation temperature sensor, rinsing water temperature sensor, and exhaust air temperature sensor are all connected to the controller.
[0007] The heating wire, turbine fan, telescopic motor, and water distribution motor are all connected to the controller for control.
[0008] Furthermore, an ozone generator is installed inside the cavity. One of the outlets of the ozone generator is connected to the fumigation chamber through a valve. The nozzle also has an ozone gas interface, which is connected to the outlet of the ozone generator through a pipeline. The ozone gas outlet is located above and to the side of the two water outlets. When the ozone is sprayed, it passes over the two water outlets.
[0009] Furthermore, a pipe clamp is fixedly connected to the front end of the outer sleeve, and the self-cleaning water is connected to the pipe clamp. After the inner sleeve retracts, the end is located inside the pipe clamp.
[0010] Furthermore, the inner sleeve is angled downwards within the fumigation chamber.
[0011] Furthermore, the treatment equipment also includes a backwash filter, with the water inlet of the fumigation pot connected to the water outlet of the backwash filter via a solenoid valve B, and the water inlet pipe also connected to the water outlet of the backwash filter.
[0012] Furthermore, the fumigation pot is connected to a mid-course chemical dosing pipe.
[0013] The fumigation treatment method, using the aforementioned fully automatic multi-functional seated fumigation treatment equipment, includes the following steps:
[0014] S1: The controller obtains the temperature of the medicine solution by collecting signals from the medicine solution temperature sensor, controls the heating pot to heat the solution, and notifies the patient that preheating is complete and treatment can begin once the set temperature is reached.
[0015] S2: Pre-treatment cleaning: Open solenoid valve A. The water filtered through the backwash filter enters the pressure reducing valve and then the instantaneous heater. The water temperature is measured by the flushing temperature sensor. The heated water flows into the water distribution motor. The telescopic motor actuates, causing the inner sleeve to extend into the fumigation chamber. At the same time, the ozone generator is turned on, producing ozone that mixes with the flushing water to rinse the treatment area, achieving disinfection and sterilization.
[0016] S3: After the ozone water rinse is completed, the fumigation temperature sensor data is collected, the heating pot is heated again to generate drug-carrying steam, and the steam is sprayed downward through the steam spray pipe. In order to prevent the temperature inside the fumigation chamber from being too high, the turbine fan is controlled to deliver cold air into the fumigation chamber to mix with the steam. The temperature inside the fumigation chamber is controlled by adjusting the speed of the turbine fan and the amount of steam, and fumigation treatment is performed on the patient's treatment area. The gas in the fumigation chamber can be discharged through the exhaust port through the exhaust channel to achieve continuous steam flow fumigation. During step S3, the process of step S2 is selectively activated to perform cleaning during treatment while fumigating.
[0017] S4: After the fumigation treatment, perform post-treatment cleaning, using the same procedure as in step S2 to clean the fumigated area;
[0018] S5: Warm air drying: Controls the heating wire to heat, collects data from the warm air temperature sensor, adjusts the turbine fan speed, and dries the treated area with warm air flowing out of the air duct.
[0019] Furthermore, in step S2, the telescopic motor rotates in both directions to make the inner sleeve move linearly back and forth.
[0020] Furthermore, in step S2, the rotation of the water distribution motor causes the water outlet of the water distribution plate to alternately connect with the two arc-shaped grooves corresponding to the water path connected to the nozzle.
[0021] Further; after step S5, the ozone generator 20 is controlled to generate ozone to disinfect the fumigation chamber.
[0022] The positive and beneficial technical effects of this invention are as follows: This equipment can simultaneously intake and exhaust air during fumigation, effectively regulating the temperature within the fumigation chamber and ensuring a continuous flow of steam from the fumigation pot. This creates effective airflow at the fumigation site, guaranteeing and improving the fumigation effect. The telescopic cleaning device can clean the anus, vagina, perineum, and other fumigation treatment areas before, during, and after treatment, further improving the treatment effect and preventing cross-infection. The movable outer sleeve ensures thorough cleaning without dead zones, and warm air drying can be used after fumigation treatment. The telescopic cleaning device can perform self-cleaning to prevent cross-infection, and the inner sleeve's downward angle within the fumigation chamber prevents dirt from entering the outer sleeve and causing contamination. Thorough ozone disinfection further prevents cross-infection. Attached Figure Description
