Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an instrument for locating or secondary specific reflex points of the human body for physical therapy, in particular to a head moxibustion therapy instrument which provides a comfortable moxibustion therapy environment. Background Art

[0002] Moxibustion on the head can effectively dredge the meridians and replenish yang energy. It is effective when long-term heavy physical labor leads to insufficient blood supply to the head. It promotes blood circulation, enhances immunity, and reduces the risk of colds. However, a major reason why existing moxibustion devices and systems are not widely available is that the combustion of moxibustion materials (mugwort leaves, cakes, or sticks) produces a large amount of irritating, oily smoke. This oily smoke and odor are mostly present in the form of PM2.5, significantly affecting the environment surrounding the therapist. Addressing this issue of moxibustion smoke pollution is crucial.

[0003] A search of CN106974825A reveals an intelligent moxibustion and moxa smoke treatment system, comprising an intelligent moxibustion instrument, a moxibustion smoke treatment device, and a smoke communication hose. The intelligent moxibustion instrument includes a lifting mechanism, a planetary rotation mechanism, a universal swing mechanism, a moxa stick mounting assembly, and a control circuit board within a housing. The moxa stick mounting assembly is detachably fixedly connected to the universal swing mechanism, the universal swing mechanism is transmission-connected to the planetary rotation mechanism, the planetary rotation mechanism is mounted on the lifting mechanism, the lifting mechanism is movably mounted within the housing, and the control circuit board is fixedly mounted on the lifting mechanism. The moxibustion smoke treatment device includes a fume filtration unit, a plasma unit, and a post-processing unit sequentially arranged within the housing, as well as a main control board mounted on the housing. The main control board of the moxibustion smoke treatment device communicates with the control circuit board of the intelligent moxibustion instrument. This system is low-cost, easy to use, and can effectively simulate the movements of a traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion practitioner, providing relatively thorough and clean treatment of moxa smoke. However, this technology utilizes a separate smoke return system, making the entire moxibustion device excessively heavy and inconvenient to operate at home or in a moxibustion clinic or traditional Chinese medicine clinic. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the deficiencies in the prior art. Therefore, a head moxibustion therapy instrument that provides a comfortable moxibustion therapy environment is proposed.

[0009] As described above, the head moxibustion therapy instrument has a further improved solution: each of the driving mechanisms includes an active unit arranged at the side of the installation body near the bottom, an energy storage unit arranged at the top inner side of the installation body, and a connecting channel connecting the energy storage unit and the active unit.

[0010] As described above, the head moxibustion therapy instrument has a further improved solution: the active unit includes a pumping body installed on the mounting body, a manifold is arranged on one side of the pumping body, and a piston and a memory alloy partially exposed on the outside of the mounting body are arranged inside the manifold, two unidirectional conductive structures are installed inside the pumping body, and the two unidirectional conductive structures are respectively located on both sides of the manifold, and the air outlet end of the pumping body is connected to the connecting channel.

[0011] As described above, the head moxibustion therapy instrument has a further improved solution: the energy storage unit includes an elastic energy storage body arranged inside the installation body, the elastic energy storage body is a hollow structure, and the hollow structure is connected to the connecting channel.

[0012] As described above, the head moxibustion therapy instrument has a further improved solution: the elastic energy storage body includes a positioning plate fixedly installed on the top inner side of the mounting body, a movable plate movably installed on the inner side of the mounting body, a plurality of circumferentially distributed drive rods whose ends are respectively connected between the positioning plate and the movable plate, and an elastic contraction structure arranged in the middle of the plurality of drive rods, the elastic contraction structure is connected to the connecting channel, the movable plate and the moxa column holder are fixedly installed and the movable plate is an insulating plate, and the moxa column holder slides relative to the mounting body while also rotating.

[0013] As described above, the head moxibustion therapy instrument has a further improved solution: the one-way conductive structure includes two fitted electrostatic adsorption films, the open end of the electrostatic adsorption film is fixed to the air inlet end of the pumping body and the electrostatic adsorption film is located inside the pumping body.

[0014] The head moxibustion therapy instrument as described above has a further improved solution: the moxibustion therapy instrument also includes a height adjustment device, the height adjustment device includes two positioning wheels installed inside the control box and a drive motor fixedly installed on the output end and the positioning wheel, a belt is provided on the outside of the positioning wheel, a lifting platform is fixedly installed on the belt and moves up and down relative to the control box, a mounting seat is installed on the lifting platform for connecting the bracket, and a secondary channel is arranged on the mounting seat, and a smoke filter and a negative pressure generator are installed at the air outlet of the secondary channel.

[0015] A further improvement of the head moxibustion therapy apparatus as described above is as follows: universal self-locking wheels are installed at the four bottom corners of the control box.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The present invention adopts a new space-saving form with a built-in bracket in the smoke return channel. It has a compact structure and higher integration, which is more conducive to use at home or in a physical therapy clinic. The moxa smoke after the moxibustion treatment is completed is promptly withdrawn through the smoke return channel, providing a relatively clean moxibustion atmosphere for the moxibustion practitioner.

[0018] The present invention adopts a method of manually advancing the burning point of the moxa stick, which is convenient for timely adjustment of the distance from the moxibustion treatment point, thereby improving the moxibustion treatment effect. Since the traditional moxa stick is directly installed on the mounting frame for combustion, the burning point of the moxa stick gradually moves away from the skin of the moxibustion treatment point as the burning progresses, resulting in a poor experience.

[0019] The present invention adopts a pushing structure that can automatically propel the moxa stick forward. Specifically, the memory alloy is heated and stretched near the burning point of the moxa stick, causing the piston to move into the pumping body, compressing the air inside the pumping body, and the air enters the elastic contraction structure of the elastic energy storage body through the one-way conductive structure at the air outlet through the connecting channel, completing the pumping action, so that the movable disk completes the rotation and propulsion effect along the length direction of the installation body. When the propulsion action is completed, the memory alloy temperature drops and retracts, driving the piston to return to its position and entering air through the air inlet of the pumping body, completing the air storage action, thereby realizing an automatic propulsion structure without external power equipment. This structure can achieve precise propulsion distance. Since the amount of air pumped each time is consistent and will not cause any damage to the moxa stick (such as looseness and pressure level), the previous electric drive structure form is abandoned to complete the drive form.

[0020] The present invention adopts a compact one-way conducting structure, which achieves the closing effect of the reverse gas path by adopting two bonded electrostatic films, thereby realizing one-way feeding of gas and preventing gas overflow from affecting the accuracy of single feeding.

[0021] The present invention adopts a head moxibustion therapy instrument that can appropriately adjust the height. Through the control panel and built-in system arranged on the control box, the driving motor of the height adjustment device is controlled to drive the lifting platform up and down through the belt to accurately adjust to the appropriate height. The smoke filter is then used to filter the moxa smoke drawn back, and the drawing power is provided by the negative pressure generator. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Implementation Method

[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0035] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0036] Example 1: Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a head moxibustion therapy instrument includes a bracket 10, a mounting cavity 11 is arranged on the bracket 10, and a moxa smoke generating structure is installed inside the mounting cavity 11, a partition cover 12 with holes is installed on the end of the moxa smoke generating structure in a detachable manner, a smoke return area is reserved between the partition cover 12 and the mounting cavity 11, and a smoke return channel 13 connected to the smoke return area is arranged inside the bracket 10.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, there are four moxa smoke generators, which are located on the top of the head, both sides of the head and the back of the head, totaling four. Each moxa smoke generator includes a mounting body 14 installed inside the mounting cavity 11. A moxa stick rack 15 and a driving mechanism for driving the moxa stick rack 15 forward are arranged on the mounting body 14. A smoke recovery body 16 is installed on the outer side of the mounting body 14. The smoke recovery body 16 is connected to the return smoke channel 13. A gap is reserved between the mounting body 14 and the mounting cavity 11, and the gap is the return smoke area.

[0038] like Figure 6As shown, each of the driving mechanisms includes an adjusting member 18 rotatably mounted on the top of the mounting cavity 11, an inner gear ring 181 is arranged inside the adjusting member 18, a transmission screw 19 is rotatably arranged on the mounting body 14, and a transmission gear 191 meshing with the inner gear ring 181 is fixedly installed on the top of the transmission screw 19, the moxa column holder 15 is mounted on the transmission screw 19 through thread matching, the moxa column holder 15 is slidably arranged relative to the mounting body 14, and the partition cover 12 is detachably mounted on the mounting body 14.

[0039] During use, the partition cover 12 is opened to expose the mounting body to the outside, the moxa sticks and moxa stick holder are installed and ignited, and then the partition cover 12 is re-covered and the moxibustion device is placed on the outside of the head. The moxa smoke after moxibustion will pass through the reserved gap between the mounting body 14 and the mounting cavity 11 to realize smoke return, so that the moxibustion environment can be effectively improved. If the temperature felt by the moxibustion patient changes, the driving screw 19 can be adjusted by adjusting the adjusting part 18 through the inner ring gear 181 and the gear 191 to achieve the propulsion effect of the moxa stick holder 15, so that the moxibustion effect of the moxibustion patient is effectively guaranteed, and the moxibustion experience of the moxibustion patient is improved.

[0040] Example 2: Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 as well as Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, the difference from the driving mechanism of Example 1 is that the other structures are completely consistent with Example 1; each driving mechanism includes an active unit arranged on the side of the mounting body 14 near the bottom, an energy storage unit arranged on the top inside the mounting body 14, and a connecting channel 110 connecting the energy storage unit and the active unit. The active unit actively transfers energy to the energy storage unit, so that the energy storage unit is charged and automatically pushes the moxa stick holder close to the moxibustion treatment point.

[0041] like Figure 8As shown, the active unit includes a pumping body 141 installed on the mounting body 14, a manifold 1411 is arranged on one side of the pumping body 141, and a piston 1412 and a memory alloy 1413 partially exposed on the outside of the mounting body 14 are arranged inside the manifold 1411, two one-way conducting structures 1414 are installed inside the pumping body 141, and the two one-way conducting structures 1414 are respectively located on both sides of the manifold 1411, and the air outlet end of the pumping body 141 is connected to the connecting channel 110. As the burning point of the moxa stick gradually moves backward, the burning point moves backward to the memory alloy 1413, causing the temperature of the memory alloy 1413 to rise extremely, thereby achieving its expansion inside the manifold 1411, causing the piston 1412 to move closer to the inside of the pumping body 141, and the gas inside the pumping body 141 will enter the energy storage unit through the one-way conductive structure 1414 through the connecting channel 110 to complete energy storage and push the moxa stick holder 15, and the gas will not be discharged from the other one-way conductive structure 1414. After moving away from the memory alloy 1413, the temperature drops and the memory alloy drives the piston 1412 to reset, allowing the gas to enter the pumping body 141 from another one-way conductive structure 1414. The gas inside the energy storage unit cannot pass through the corresponding one-way conductive structure 1414, so that the moxa stick holder 15 completes one feeding, and the feeding distance is the expansion and contraction amount of the memory alloy 1413 each time multiplied by the cross-sectional area of the manifold 1411, so that the feeding distance each time is consistent and very accurate, and the cycle is repeated many times until the moxa stick is burned out to complete a moxibustion treatment.

[0042] like Figure 9 As shown, the energy storage unit includes an elastic energy storage body 142 arranged inside the mounting body 14, the elastic energy storage body 142 is a hollow structure and the hollow structure is connected to the connecting channel 110, the elastic energy storage body 142 includes a positioning plate 1421 fixedly installed on the top of the inner side of the mounting body 14, a movable plate 1422 movably installed on the inner side of the mounting body 14, a plurality of circumferentially distributed driving rods 1423 whose two ends are respectively connected between the positioning plate 1421 and the movable plate 1422, and an elastic contraction structure 1424 arranged in the middle of the plurality of driving rods 1423, the elastic contraction structure 1424 is connected to the connecting channel 110, the movable plate 1422 and the moxa column rack 15 are fixedly installed and the movable plate 1422 is an insulating plate, and the moxa column rack 15 slides relative to the mounting body 14 while also rotating. By unidirectionally introducing a fixed amount of gas through connecting channel 110, elastic telescopic structure 1424 is quantitatively charged, ensuring that movable disc 1422 advances a consistent and precise distance each time. As movable disc 1422 completes its advancement, it rotates, causing the combustion point to rotate in a circular motion, thereby dispersing the internal knots at the moxibustion treatment points. Furthermore, an ash scraper installed within mounting body 14 completes the scraping, preventing the moxa ash from falling off in time and affecting the effective warmth at the treatment points. Elastic telescopic structure 1424 is an airbag with an exhaust port equipped with an exhaust valve.

[0043] Example 3: Figure 8 As shown, based on Example 2, a small and compact one-way conductive structure 1414 suitable for such a compact environment is constructed. Specifically, the following improvements are made: the one-way conductive structure 1414 includes two bonded electrostatic adsorption films, the open ends of which are fixed to the air inlet end of the pumping body 141 and the electrostatic adsorption films are located inside the pumping body 141. The bonded effect of the two sets of one-way conductive structures 1414 allows gas to enter in only one direction at one end and exit in only one direction at the other end, thereby completing the charging of the energy storage unit.

[0044] Example 4: Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the following improvements are made on the basis of Example 2: the moxibustion therapy instrument also includes a height adjustment device and a control box 20, the height adjustment device includes two positioning wheels 21 installed inside the control box 20 and a drive motor 22 fixedly installed at the output end and the positioning wheel 21, a belt 23 is sleeved on the outer side of the positioning wheel 21, a lifting platform 24 that moves up and down relative to the control box 20 is fixedly installed on the belt 23, a mounting seat 25 is installed on the lifting platform 24 for connecting the bracket 10, and a secondary channel 26 (corrugated pipe) is arranged on the mounting seat 25, a smoke filter 27 and a negative pressure generator 28 are installed at the air outlet of the secondary channel 26, and universal self-locking wheels 29 are installed at the four corners at the bottom of the control box 20. The control box 20 is provided with a control panel and a built-in control system to control the opening and closing of the drive motor 22, the smoke filter 27, and the negative pressure generator 28. The drive motor 22 drives a positioning wheel 21 to rotate through a belt 23 with a tooth structure, and drives the lifting platform 24 to move up and down. When it moves to the appropriate height, the bracket 10 maintains the appropriate height, which facilitates the maintenance of the appropriate height and the stable performance that is conducive to the moxibustion effect.

The replacement may be a replacement of a portion of a structure, device, or method step, or it may be a complete technical solution.
