Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fumigation and washing instruments, specifically a multifunctional fumigation and washing instrument for traditional Chinese medicine hot fumigation therapy. Background Technology
[0002] Through direct re-steaming of the herbal liquid, the medicinal steam penetrates, transports, and is absorbed through the skin, directly reaching the lesion. The medicinal effects are highly concentrated, clearing heat and detoxifying, dispelling cold and reducing swelling; dispelling wind and dampness, killing parasites and relieving itching; relaxing muscles and tendons, promoting qi circulation and relieving pain. Current fumigation devices generally involve adding water and medicinal herbs to a container, heating it, and then directly applying the steam to the patient for treatment.
[0003] However, direct heating is not conducive to the rapid dissolution of the effective components of traditional Chinese medicine in the container. Even if dissolved, they cannot be evenly mixed in the water, thus preventing the effective components from evaporating evenly with the steam. Furthermore, due to continuous heating, traditional Chinese medicine is also prone to sticking to the inner wall of the container after heating, especially when the water in the container continues to evaporate during fumigation. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem of this invention is to provide a multifunctional fumigation and washing device for traditional Chinese medicine hot fumigation therapy, which can stir the medicine in the medicine cylinder, thereby promoting the dissolution of the medicinal components of traditional Chinese medicine in water and making the components more uniform.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a multifunctional fumigation and washing instrument for traditional Chinese medicine hot fumigation therapy, comprising an outer shell, a cushion disposed on the top of the outer shell, a steam vent disposed in the middle of the cushion, a medicine cylinder disposed inside the outer shell, a fixing frame fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell, a heating wire disposed on the fixing frame, a fan blade rotatably connected to the fixing frame, and a driving device disposed on the outer shell for driving the fan blade to rotate.
[0006] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the driving device includes a rotating rod rotatably connected to the housing, and bevel gears are provided on the rotating shafts of both the rotating rod and the fan blades, with the two bevel gears meshing with each other. A motor capable of driving the rotating rod to rotate is provided on the outer wall of the housing.
[0007] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a massage device is also provided above the outer shell. The massage device includes an opening formed on the seat cushion. A fixing ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell. A sliding column is slidably connected to the fixing ring. A massage column that can pass through the opening is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding column. A toothed ring is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer shell. A protrusion that can move the sliding column toward the opening is fixedly connected to the toothed ring. A gear that meshes with the toothed ring is fixedly connected to the rotating rod.
[0008] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the outer shell is further provided with a support device that can support the cartridge case. The support device includes a fixing rod fixedly connected to the outer shell, a screw slidably connected to the fixing rod, and a toothed ring slidably connected to the fixing rod. The toothed ring is engaged in the threaded groove of the screw, and the threaded groove of the screw is a rectangular threaded groove.
[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a deceleration device is also provided at the lower part of the inner shell. The deceleration device includes a support cylinder fixedly connected to the lower part of the inner shell, a support shaft slidably connected inside the support cylinder, the support shaft being made of magnetic material, a deceleration box fixedly connected and communicating at the lower end of the support cylinder, a slow flow hole being opened at the end of the deceleration box away from the support cylinder, a deceleration block being slidably connected inside the deceleration box, and water or compressed air being filled inside the support cylinder.
[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the deceleration device further includes a triggering device, the triggering device including an adjusting shaft rotatably connected to the support cylinder, a ball valve fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting shaft located inside the support cylinder, the ball valve having a through-hole, an annular sleeve fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support cylinder, an annular slider being slidably connected inside the annular sleeve, the annular slider being fixedly connected to the adjusting shaft, and a detection device being provided inside the cartridge.
[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the detection device includes a limiting frame fixedly connected to a fixed frame, a float slidably connected within the limiting frame, a connecting pipe connected to the annular sleeve, the upper end of the connecting pipe extending into the position of the float above the outer shell, and a top rod fixedly connected to the float and slidably connected to one end of the connecting pipe near the float.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0013] 1. This technology is equipped with fan blades to stir the contents of the medicine cylinder, causing the medicinal materials to flow in the water, thereby promoting the dilution of the effective components of the medicinal materials in the water. At the same time, it can make the diluted water evenly distributed in the water, so that the components of the medicinal materials in the water vapor after heating and evaporation are uniform, thus ensuring the therapeutic effect.
[0014] 2. The massage column can massage the patient's buttocks, which can relieve the soreness caused by prolonged sitting. The opening not only allows the massage column to pass through, but also allows steam to be used to fumigate the skin of the sitting area, thus solving the problem that the sitting area is blocked and cannot be fumigate in traditional technology.
[0015] 3. The float automatically detects water consumption in the fumigation cartridge, preventing damage caused by excessive dry burning of the heating wire. Simultaneously, the float rotates the ball valve, causing the cartridge to automatically descend under gravity, thus completely ending the fumigation process and facilitating cartridge removal from the outer casing. After the cartridge is inserted into the casing via the screw, the float automatically resets, triggering the function to restart, making it convenient to use. Due to the small size of the flow-slowing orifice, the deceleration block prevents rapid airflow when pushed by water during the descent of the support shaft, thus slowing down the descent of the support shaft. Furthermore, after the cartridge moves downwards from the casing, the fan blades and heating wire continue operating. After the cartridge detaches, airflow enters through the opening at the bottom of the casing, and the fan blades blow air upwards over the heating wire and through the steam outlet to the patient's buttocks for drying. This allows direct use of the fumigation heating device for drying, reducing operating costs and simplifying the structure. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0023] 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.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides a technical solution: a multifunctional fumigation and washing instrument for traditional Chinese medicine hot fumigation therapy, including a shell 01, a cushion 03 arranged on the top of the shell 01, a steam port 09 opened in the middle of the cushion 03, a medicine cylinder 21 arranged inside the shell 01, a fixing frame 20 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 01, a heating wire 29 for heating arranged on the fixing frame 20, a fan blade 22 rotatably connected to the fixing frame 20, and a driving device that can drive the fan blade 22 to rotate on the shell 01.
[0025] The drive device can drive the fan blade 22 to rotate. After the medicinal materials are added into the medicine cylinder 21, water is added. When the fan blade 22 rotates, it can stir the water in the medicine cylinder 21. The heating wire 29 can heat the water in the medicine cylinder 21 until the water boils continuously, so that the water in the medicine cylinder 21 evaporates after heating. The hot air will float upward. The patient can sit on the cushion 03. At this time, the steam can fumigate the patient's perianal area, perineum, buttocks and other parts, thereby promoting the patient's blood circulation and allowing the skin to absorb the medicinal power to achieve the therapeutic effect.
[0026] This technology is equipped with fan blades 22 that can stir the contents of the medicine cylinder 21, causing the medicinal materials to flow in the water. This promotes the dilution of the effective components of the medicinal materials in the water and ensures that the diluted water is evenly distributed. As a result, the components of the medicinal materials are evenly distributed in the water vapor after heating and evaporation, thus ensuring the therapeutic effect.
[0027] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the driving device includes a rotating rod 19 rotatably connected to the housing 01. Both the rotating rod 19 and the rotating shaft of the fan blade 22 are provided with bevel gears, and the two bevel gears mesh with each other. The outer wall of the housing 01 is provided with a motor 02 that can drive the rotating rod 19 to rotate.
[0028] When the motor 02 is working, it can drive the rotating rod 19 to rotate. When the rotating rod 19 rotates, it will drive the fan blade 22 to rotate through the bevel gear, thereby realizing the stirring function.
[0029] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a massage device is also provided above the outer shell 01. The massage device includes an opening 10 formed on the seat cushion 03. A fixing ring 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 01. A sliding column 11 is slidably connected to the fixing ring 12. A massage column 08 that can pass through the opening 10 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding column 11. A toothed ring 28 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 01. A protrusion 18 that can move the sliding column 11 toward the opening 10 is fixedly connected to the toothed ring 28. A gear that meshes with the toothed ring 28 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 19.
[0030] Since the treatment usually lasts for about half an hour, the patient needs to sit on the cushion 03 for a long time. However, the patient needs to remove their clothes during the treatment so that the steam and the movement can make better contact. Also, due to the large amount of steam, it is not convenient to put cloth on the cushion 03. As a result, the patient's buttocks are easily sore from sitting for a long time.
[0031] When the rotating rod 19 rotates, it drives the gear ring 28 to rotate simultaneously. When the gear ring 28 rotates, it drives the protrusion 18 to rotate. The protrusion 18 rotates in a circle around the axis of the gear ring 28. Whenever the protrusion 18 rotates to a position of the sliding column 11, it pushes the sliding column 11 to slide upward on the fixed ring 12, so that the massage column 08 is pushed upward through the opening 10 and pressed against the patient's buttocks. With the movement of the protrusion 18, the massage column 08 can be pushed upward in sequence, thereby achieving a massage effect on the patient's entire buttocks.
[0032] The massage column 08 can massage the patient's buttocks, relieving soreness caused by prolonged sitting. The opening 10 not only allows the massage column 08 to pass through, but also allows steam to be used to fumigate the skin of the sitting area, thus solving the problem that the sitting area is blocked and cannot be fumigate in traditional technology.
[0033] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a support device is also provided inside the outer shell 01 to support the cartridge 21. The support device includes a fixed rod 14 fixedly connected to the outer shell 01, a screw 13 slidably connected to the fixed rod 14, and a toothed ring 28 slidably connected to the fixed rod 14. The toothed ring 28 slidably connected to the fixed rod (14) is engaged in the threaded groove of the screw 13. The threaded groove of the screw 13 is a rectangular threaded groove.
[0034] Since the inside of the outer shell 01 is circular, the cartridge 21 can slide inside the outer shell 01. When the cartridge 21 is placed on the screw 13, the toothed ring 28 can be inserted into the threaded groove of the screw 13. Then, the screw 13 is rotated, so that the screw 13 can slide up and down on the fixed rod 14, thereby allowing the cartridge 21 to slide inside the outer shell 01. This allows the cartridge 21 to be installed inside and removed from the outer shell 01. When the screw 13 is rotated to the bottom, the cartridge 21 can be directly removed from the screw 13 from the bottom opening of the outer shell 01, making it easy to clean the internal medicinal residue.
[0035] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a deceleration device is also provided inside the lower part of the outer shell 01. The deceleration device includes a support cylinder 05 fixedly connected to the lower part of the outer shell 01. A support shaft 04 is slidably connected inside the support cylinder 05. The support shaft 04 is made of magnetic material. A deceleration box 06 is fixedly connected and communicated to the lower end of the support cylinder 05. A slow flow hole 07 is opened at the end of the deceleration box 06 away from the support cylinder 05. A deceleration block 30 is slidably connected inside the deceleration box 06. The support cylinder 05 is filled with water or compressed air.
[0036] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the deceleration device also includes a triggering device, which includes an adjusting shaft 27 rotatably connected to the support cylinder 05. One end of the adjusting shaft 27 located inside the support cylinder 05 is fixedly connected to a ball valve 25. The ball valve 25 has a through-hole 26. An annular sleeve 16 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support cylinder 05. An annular slider 17 is slidably connected inside the annular sleeve 16. The annular slider 17 and the adjusting shaft 27 are fixedly connected. A detection device is also provided inside the cartridge 21.
[0037] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the detection device includes a limiting frame 23 fixedly connected to the fixing frame 20, a float 24 slidably connected inside the limiting frame 23, a connecting pipe 15 connected to the annular sleeve 16, the upper end of the connecting pipe 15 extending into the position of the float 24 above the outer shell 01, and a top rod 31 fixedly connected to the float 24 and slidably connected to one end of the connecting pipe 15 near the float 24.
[0038] As treatment progresses, the water in the medicine cylinder 21 will continuously evaporate. Therefore, the treatment time can be customized according to the amount of water in the medicine cylinder 21. During treatment, as steam continuously forms, the water in the medicine cylinder 21 will continuously decrease. As the water decreases, the floating position of the float 24 on the limiting frame 23 will also decrease. The movement of the float 24 will drive the push rod 31 to move downwards simultaneously, thereby drawing water into the connecting pipe 15. This causes the water in the annular sleeve 16 to flow towards the end of the connecting pipe 15 near the push rod 31, thereby causing the annular slider 17 to slide inwards on the annular sleeve 16, thereby driving the adjusting shaft 27 to rotate. This will cause the ball valve 25 to rotate, which will rotate the connecting hole 26 to the vertical direction, thereby connecting the support cylinder 05 and the reduction box 06. Under the action of gravity, the ball valve 25 will no longer block the water above the ball valve 25 in the support cylinder 05. The cartridge 21 will push the support shaft 04 so that the water in the support cylinder 05 can flow from top to bottom into the connecting hole 26, thereby pushing the reduction block 30 to move towards the slow flow hole 07. As a result, the cartridge 21 will gradually move downward from the top of the outer shell 01 until the cartridge 21 is completely moved out. Then the cartridge 21 can be removed from the support shaft 04 for residue treatment and subsequent secondary use.
[0039] When using the medicine cartridge 21, after mixing the medicine and water, place it on the support shaft 04. Then, insert the gear ring 28 into the threaded groove of the screw 13, and rotate the screw 13. The screw 13 will then press against the lower end of the push rod 31, causing it to rise until the medicine cartridge 21 is against the fixed frame 20. As the medicine cartridge 21 rises, the support shaft 04, being magnetic, will adhere to it. As the medicine cartridge 21 rises, the support shaft 04 will also rise. When the medicine cartridge 21 reaches the fixed frame 20, the rising water level inside the medicine cartridge 21 will cause the float 24 to continue rising, pushing the push rod 31 further into the annular sleeve 16, thus causing the annular slider 17 to rotate to the desired position. Figure 4 As shown, the ball valve 25 rotates, making the connecting hole 26 horizontal. As the support shaft 04 rises, the water in the support cylinder 05 is sucked into the support cylinder 05 above the ball valve 25. At the same time, the deceleration block 30 also slides to one side of the support cylinder 05. When the connecting hole 26 is horizontal, the ball valve 25 can support the support shaft 04 through the water in the support cylinder 05, thereby supporting the cartridge 21. At this time, the gear ring 28 can be pulled out to reset the screw 13. After the water in the cartridge 21 evaporates, the support shaft 04 can automatically trigger to descend.
[0040] The float 24 automatically detects the water consumption inside the fumigation cartridge 21, preventing the heating wire 29 from over-dry burning and causing damage. Simultaneously, the float 24 causes the ball valve 25 to rotate, automatically lowering the cartridge 21 under gravity to completely end the fumigation process and facilitate removal of the cartridge 21 from the outer casing 01. After the cartridge 21 is inserted into the outer casing 01 via the screw 13, the float 24 automatically resets, restarting the function. This is convenient to use. Because the flow-slowing hole 07 is small, the deceleration block 30 is pushed by the water when the support shaft 04 descends. When the air inside the deceleration box 06 cannot pass through quickly, the deceleration block 30 cannot slide quickly, thus serving the function of decelerating the support shaft 04 to descend. In addition, after the medicine cartridge 21 moves downward from the outer shell 01, the fan blade 22 and heating wire 29 continue to work. After the medicine cartridge 21 is detached, the airflow can enter through the opening at the bottom of the outer shell 01, so the fan blade 22 blows the air from bottom to top over the heating wire 29 and then blows it through the steam port 09 to the patient's buttocks for drying. The drying can be directly achieved by using the heating device of fumigation, which reduces the cost of use and has a simple structure.
