Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of moxibustion massage equipment, and in particular to a massage ball specially used for a handheld moxibustion fumigation massager. Background Art

[0002] Moxibustion is a method of external treatment for internal diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. For example, it has significant therapeutic effects on stomachache, abdominal distension, vomiting, etc. It is also called moxibustion therapy, which mainly uses the dried leaves of the Asteraceae plant Artemisia annua to be processed into moxa sticks. The traditional practice is for medical staff to hold burning moxa sticks and perform moxibustion on acupuncture points on the human body. Not only does it have the disadvantages of large workload, difficult to control temperature, and waste of energy and time of medical staff, but the burning moxa sticks act directly on the human skin, which will cause the patient to suffer from skin burns and even cause skin infections, and its safety is poor. At present, there are some traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy methods that combine moxibustion fumigation and massage the patient through moxibustion cups at the same time. This is not only more convenient and conducive to the effect of moxibustion fumigation, but also massage while moxibustion to make the patient more comfortable and relieve fatigue.

[0003] However, current moxibustion cups can only directly utilize the hot smoke produced by burning moxa sticks for fumigation and massage. This procedure actually falls under the moxa stick moxibustion method, but moxibustion also includes direct and indirect moxibustion. Direct moxibustion, also known as skin moxibustion or open moxibustion, involves placing a moxa cone directly on the skin at acupuncture points. Essentially, it stimulates the skin through the heat generated by the burning moxa cone. Depending on the degree of skin stimulation, it is categorized as scarless, foaming, and scarring. Indirect moxibustion, also known as intervening moxibustion or spaced moxibustion, involves using an object to separate the moxa cone from the skin. Indirect moxibustion avoids skin damage and suppuration, and its gentle heat is more acceptable to patients, making it more commonly used clinically than direct moxibustion. Numerous types of indirect moxibustion are widely used in internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, ENT, and other medical conditions. These include ginger-intervening moxibustion, garlic-intervening moxibustion, salt-intervening moxibustion, and aconite-intervening moxibustion. Compared to moxa cones, moxa sticks are more convenient to produce, transport, and store, and are also more convenient to use. Therefore, they are more widely used. Therefore, a technical problem that those skilled in the art urgently need to solve is how to expand the use of moxa sticks, so that they can not only be used for moxa stick moxibustion, but also achieve the effects of direct and indirect moxibustion, and be simple, convenient, and safe to operate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a massage ball specifically for a handheld moxibustion fumigation massager. The hard hollow ball of the massage ball has a split structure, so that a hollow ball sponge or a partition moxibustion material can be placed in the massage ball, so that the present invention can perform a variety of moxibustion methods, thereby improving the applicability of the present invention.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] A massage ball specially used for a handheld moxibustion fumigation massager comprises a hard hollow ball with multiple air outlets evenly distributed; the hard hollow ball comprises a spherical arc surface bottom groove and a spherical arc surface cover that match each other, and the spherical arc surface bottom groove and the spherical arc surface cover are detachably fixedly connected.

[0007] A further improvement of the present invention is that a hollow ball sponge is placed and fixed in the hard hollow ball, the outer wall of the hollow ball sponge is in contact with the inner wall of the hard hollow ball, and an incision is provided along one side of the spherical surface of the hollow ball sponge that passes through the hollow ball sponge. The hollow ball sponge is filled with a sponge ball, a fumigation medium or an air bag ball.

[0008] A further improvement of the present invention is that the curvature of the cutout is greater than or equal to the curvature of the spherical arc cover and less than or equal to the curvature of a semicircle.

[0009] A further improvement of the present invention is that when the hollow ball sponge is filled with sponge balls or fumigation medium, the air permeability of the sponge balls or the fumigation medium is greater than the air permeability of the hollow ball sponge.

[0010] A further improvement of the present invention is that when the hollow ball sponge is filled with sponge balls, the hardness of the sponge balls is greater than the hardness of the hollow ball sponge.

[0011] A further improvement of the present invention is that when the hollow ball sponge is filled with an air-sac ball, an isolation medium for isolation moxibustion is clamped and placed between the outer wall of the hollow ball sponge and the inner wall of the hard hollow ball.

[0012] A further improvement of the present invention is that the outer wall surface of the hard hollow sphere is covered and fixed with a ceramic layer, and the ceramic layer is provided with a raised ring corresponding to the position of the air outlet and connected to the air outlet.

[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is that the ceramic material of the ceramic layer is heat-resistant ceramic.

[0014] A further improvement of the present invention is that the ceramic material of the ceramic layer is porous ceramic.

[0015] A further improvement of the present invention is that the inner wall and the outer wall of the end of the raised ring away from the hard hollow sphere, as well as the connection between the raised ring and the ceramic layer are all provided with rounded corners.

[0016] A further improvement of the present invention is that the spherical arc surface cover and the spherical arc surface bottom groove are fixed by screw threads.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] First, the massage ball specially used for the handheld moxibustion fumigation massager of the present invention can make the massage ball more comfortable during massage due to the ceramic layer structure on the surface of the massage ball.

[0019] Secondly, the massage ball of the present invention, which is specially used for a handheld moxibustion fumigation massager, can accommodate a certain amount of heat and smoke in the ceramic layer due to the uniform thermal conductivity of the ceramic layer itself and the fact that the ceramic layer is made of porous ceramic. In addition, the heat and smoke entering the massage ball through the ceramic layer and the heat and smoke leaving the massage ball through the ceramic layer can be more uniform. Therefore, even if the smoke on the side of the massage ball facing the skin is scarce or even absent, the heat on the outer wall of the massage ball can still be retained for a period of time. This also ensures that the temperature of the surface of the massage ball facing the moxa stick fixing tube 3 and the temperature of the surface of the massage ball extending out of the massage ball limiting ring are consistent, thereby ensuring the consistency of the moxibustion effect.

[0020] Third, the massage ball of the present invention is specially used for a handheld moxibustion fumigation massager. The hard hollow ball of the massage ball has a split structure, so that a hollow ball sponge or a partition moxibustion material can be placed in the massage ball, so that the present invention can perform a variety of moxibustion methods, thereby improving the applicability of the present invention.

[0021] Fourth, the massage ball of the present invention is specially used for a handheld moxibustion fumigation massager. An incision is provided along one side of the spherical surface of the hollow ball sponge, which runs through the hollow ball sponge. This makes it convenient to place a sponge ball, fumigation medium, moxibustion material or air bag ball in the hollow sponge ball, thereby allowing the present invention to further perform a variety of moxibustion methods and further improving the applicability of the present invention.

[0022] Fifth, the massage ball of the present invention is specially used for a handheld moxibustion fumigation massager. The air permeability of the sponge ball or the fumigation medium is greater than that of the hollow ball sponge, so that the heat smoke entering the massage ball can pass through the sponge ball or the fumigation medium more easily under the action of positive pressure, thereby realizing different moxibustion methods.

[0023] Sixth, the massage ball of the present invention is specially used for a handheld moxibustion fumigation massager. The hardness of the sponge ball is greater than that of the hollow ball sponge. The fumigation medium or air bag ball placed in the hollow ball sponge can make the hollow ball sponge expand outward to fit with the inner wall of the massage ball, thereby preventing the heat and smoke generated by the burning moxa stick from escaping directly from between the hollow ball sponge and the massage ball.

[0024] Seventh, the massage ball of the present invention is specially used for a handheld moxibustion fumigation massager. The ceramic layer is provided with a raised ring corresponding to the air outlet position, thereby ensuring that the massage ball has a stimulation effect and a massage effect on the corresponding position of the skin when in contact with the skin. Moreover, the raised ring corresponds to the air outlet, so that the massage position can relatively fully absorb the heat of the moxibustion and the medicinal ingredients in the smoke, thereby improving the moxibustion effect.

[0025] Eighth, the massage ball of the present invention, which is specially used for a handheld moxibustion fumigation massager, has rounded corners on the inner wall and outer wall of the end of the raised ring away from the hard hollow ball, as well as on the connection between the raised ring and the ceramic layer, which further improves the comfort of the massage ball when it contacts the skin for massage.

[0026] Ninth, the massage ball of the present invention, which is specially used for a handheld moxibustion fumigation massager, can also be used to place Chinese medicinal materials or aromatherapy materials in the massage ball or leave it empty, and then perform massage directly through the massage ball.

[0074] The inner wall and outer wall of the end of the raised ring 42 away from the hard hollow ball 37 and the connection between the raised ring 42 and the ceramic layer 39 are all provided with rounded corners.

[0075] When the present invention is used for ordinary fumigation, the blowing tube 1, the moxa burning tube 2 and the moxa fixing tube 3 are first disassembled and separated, and the moxa fixing tube 3, the massage ball 4 and the massage ball limiting ring 5, and the sealing rubber ring 54 are assembled and connected; at this time, the hard hollow ball 37 of the massage ball 4 is not filled with anything; then the bottom end of the moxa stick is fixed within the range of the moxa stick positioning convex ring 34 through the thorn needle 33; then the moxa burning tube 2 is fixedly connected to the moxa fixing tube 3; and after the top of the moxa stick is ignited, the blowing tube 1 and the moxa burning tube 2 are fixedly connected. Fixed connection; finally, press the switch button 50 in the cover plate 10 at the top of the blowing tube 1 to start the drive motor 6, drive the fan blade 7 to suck the outside air into the air inlet chamber 17 of the blowing tube 1 through the air inlet hole 9, and then blow it downward into the moxa burning tube 2; and the air blown into the moxa burning tube 2 can maintain the combustion of the top of the moxa, and make the smoke generated by the combustion pass downward in sequence through the moxa, the dust-proof filter B, the air vent B32, the air outlet 38 at the top of the massage ball 4, the hard hollow ball 37 of the massage ball 4 and the air outlet 38 at the bottom of the massage ball 4. The moxibustion operator holds the blowpipe 1 or the moxa stick burning tube 2, and extends the massage ball 4 out of one end of the massage ball limiting ring 5 to the skin of the moxibustion position where the moxibustion operator needs to moxibustion, and keeps a distance from the skin, so that the heat and smoke generated by the burning moxa stick can fumigate the unburned moxa in the moxa stick when passing through the unburned moxa in the moxa stick, and the smoke and heat after fumigation leave the massage ball 4 downward under the positive pressure generated by the fan blade 7, so that the heat and smoke leaving the massage ball 4 are still transferred to the skin at the moxibustion position at a certain speed, and the flow of smoke also makes it convenient for the operator to observe the flow direction of heat and smoke during moxibustion, and through the action of the smoke collecting hood 36, the heat and smoke flowing out of the massage ball 4 can be gathered near the position of the massage ball 4, so that the effective ingredients in the moxibustion are better released and moxibustioned on the skin, and the position where moxibustion is needed is moxibustioned more accurately, thereby improving the moxibustion effect and accuracy of moxibustion; the speed of the drive motor 6 can also be controlled by the speed adjustment button 53, thereby adjusting the air volume of the fan blade 7, and then controlling the speed of the fan blade 7 leaving the massage ball 4 When the temperature of the heat leaving the massage ball 4 is relatively mild and the flow rate of the smoke is relatively slow, the massage ball 4 can be directly extended from the massage ball retaining ring 5 to contact the skin at the moxibustion site and rolled on the skin to massage, thereby further facilitating skin absorption.

[0076] Before performing ordinary fumigation, the present invention can also split the hard hollow ball 37 of the massage ball 4 into a ball arc cover 41 and a ball arc bottom groove 40 according to different requirements of moxibustion fumigation, and insert the sponge ball 45 containing essential oil into the hollow ball sponge 43 from the position of the incision 44, and then compress the sponge ball 45 and the hollow ball sponge 43 and insert them into the ball arc bottom groove 40 from the connection between the ball arc bottom groove 40 and the ball arc cover 41, adjust the hollow ball sponge 43 so that the hollow ball sponge 43 fits the inner wall of the hard hollow ball 37, and finally cover it with the ball arc cover 41; when the sponge ball 45 and the hollow ball sponge 43 are compressed, the essential oil in the sponge ball 45 can be fully filled in the sponge ball 45 and even the hollow ball sponge 43; then the massage ball 4 is placed between the moxa stick fixing tube 3 and the massage ball limiting ring 5 by limiting it with the sealing rubber ring 54; the remaining operations are similar to ordinary fumigation. When the heat and smoke generated by the burning moxa stick passes through the massage ball 4, they enter the hard hollow ball 37 through the air outlet 38 at the top of the massage ball 4 and finally exit the massage ball 4 through the air outlet 38 at the bottom of the massage ball 4. Under the positive pressure of the fan blade 7, the heat and smoke entering the hard hollow ball 37 are downwardly discharged from the top of the hollow ball sponge 43. Since the air permeability of the sponge ball 45 is greater than that of the hollow ball sponge 43, the heat and smoke entering the hollow ball sponge 43 will try to pass through the sponge ball 45 and continue downward into the bottom of the hollow ball sponge 43, and finally exit the massage ball 4 through the air outlet 38 at the bottom of the massage ball 4. As a result, the heat generated by the burning moxa stick causes the essential oil in the sponge ball 45 to volatilize, and then mix with the smoke generated by the burning moxa stick and exit the massage ball 4 downward together. At this time, dual fumigation of the moxa burning smoke and the essential oil can be achieved, further enhancing the fumigation effect of moxibustion. Similar to conventional fumigation, the speed of the drive motor 6 is controlled by the speed adjustment button 53, thereby adjusting the air volume of the fan blades 7, and thus controlling the temperature of the heat leaving the massage ball 4 and the flow rate of the smoke, thereby adjusting the moxibustion according to different requirements. When the temperature of the heat leaving the massage ball 4 is relatively mild and the flow rate of the smoke and essential oil volatiles is relatively slow, the massage ball 4 can be directly extended from the massage ball retaining ring 5 to contact the skin at the moxibustion site and roll on the skin to apply massage, further promoting skin absorption.

[0077] Before performing ordinary fumigation, the present invention can also split the hard hollow ball 37 of the massage ball 4 into a spherical arc surface cover 41 and a spherical arc surface bottom groove 40 according to different requirements of moxibustion fumigation, and compress the hollow ball sponge 43 and insert it into the spherical arc surface bottom groove 40 from the connection between the spherical arc surface bottom groove 40 and the spherical arc surface cover 41, and make the incision 44 of the hollow ball sponge 43 correspond to the connection between the spherical arc surface bottom groove 40 and the spherical arc surface cover 41, and then mix other medicines needed for fumigation during moxibustion to form a fumigation medium 46, and then insert it into the hollow ball sponge 43 from the position of the incision 44 in sequence, and then ensure that the hollow ball sponge 43 is fitted with the inner wall of the hard hollow ball 37, and then arrange and fit the corresponding parts of the hollow ball sponge 43 on both sides of the incision 44, and finally cover the spherical arc surface cover 41; then the massage ball 4 is placed between the moxa stick fixing tube 3 and the massage ball limiting ring 5 by limiting it with the sealing rubber ring 54; the remaining operations are similar to ordinary fumigation. When the heat and smoke generated by the burning moxa stick passes through the massage ball 4, they enter the hard hollow ball 37 through the air outlet 38 at the top of the massage ball 4 and finally exit the massage ball 4 through the air outlet 38 at the bottom of the massage ball 4. Under the positive pressure of the fan blades 7, the heat and smoke entering the hard hollow ball 37 are directed downward from the top of the hollow ball sponge 43. Since the air permeability of the fumigation medium 46 is greater than that of the hollow ball sponge 43, the heat and smoke entering the hollow ball sponge 43 tend to pass through the fumigation medium 46 as much as possible, continue downward into the bottom of the hollow ball sponge 43, and finally exit the massage ball 4 through the air outlet 38 at the bottom of the massage ball 4. As a result, the heat generated by the burning moxa stick causes the fumigant of the medicinal substance in the fumigation medium 46 to volatilize, which then mixes with the smoke generated by the burning moxa stick and exits the massage ball 4 downward. This allows for the simultaneous fumigation of both the moxa burning smoke and the fumigant volatiles of the medicinal substance, further enhancing the effectiveness of the fumigation and moxibustion. Similar to conventional fumigation, the speed adjustment button 53 controls the speed of the drive motor 6, thereby adjusting the air volume of the fan blades 7 and, in turn, the temperature of the heat leaving the massage ball 4 and the flow rate of the smoke, allowing for moxibustion to be tailored to specific needs. When the temperature of the heat leaving the massage ball 4 is relatively mild and the flow rate of the smoke and fumigant volatiles is relatively slow, the portion of the massage ball 4 extending beyond the massage ball retaining ring 5 can be directly brought into contact with the skin at the moxibustion site and rolled over the skin to provide a massage, further facilitating absorption. This method allows for simultaneous fumigation of multiple active pharmaceutical ingredients at the lesion site. Furthermore, the process of volatilization of the drugs by the heat and smoke flow from the moxibustion site to the lesion site is very short. Combined with the focusing effect of the smoke hood 36, the active ingredients produced by the moxa stick act as a catalyst, promoting rapid absorption of the active pharmaceutical ingredients in the fumigation medium 46 after application, minimizing the loss of these active pharmaceutical ingredients.This method of use is very effective in treating rheumatic and rheumatoid diseases, which are mainly manifested by swelling, pain and limited movement of tissues around joints. Currently, such diseases require a separate moxibustion and a separate fumigation every day during the treatment course, which is time-consuming and the combined effect of moxibustion and fumigation is relatively poor.

[0078] When performing moxibustion through objects, the hard hollow ball 37 of the massage ball 4 is split into a ball arc cover 41 and a ball arc bottom groove 40, and the material required for moxibustion through objects is cut into thin slices, and the material slices are evenly applied to the lower part of the inner wall of the ball arc bottom groove 40 from the connection between the ball arc bottom groove 40 and the ball arc cover 41, and then the hollow ball sponge 43 is inserted into the ball arc bottom groove 40 from the connection between the ball arc bottom groove 40 and the ball arc cover 41, and the cutout 44 of the hollow ball sponge 43 corresponds to the connection between the ball arc bottom groove 40 and the ball arc cover 41; then the material slices are inserted into the ball arc bottom groove 40 from the connection between the ball arc bottom groove 40 and the ball arc cover 41, and evenly applied to the ball arc bottom groove 40. 0 between the upper part of the inner wall of the hollow ball sponge 43 and the upper part of the outer wall of the hollow ball sponge 43; then compress the air bag ball 47 and insert it into the hollow ball sponge 43 from the position of the incision 44, and through the restoring force in the air bag ball 47, the hollow ball sponge 43 is pushed outward to the inner wall of the spherical arc bottom groove 40, thereby clamping and fixing the material sheet; then evenly apply the material sheet from the connection between the spherical arc bottom groove 40 and the spherical arc cover 41 to the top surface of the part of the hollow ball sponge 43 corresponding to the connection position between the spherical arc bottom groove 40 and the spherical arc cover 41, and finally cover the spherical arc cover 41; then place the massage ball 4 between the moxa stick fixing tube 3 and the massage ball limiting ring 5 through the sealing rubber ring 54; the rest of the operations are similar to ordinary fumigation. When the heat and smoke generated by the burning moxa stick passes through the massage ball 4, it enters the hard hollow ball 37 through the air outlet 38 at the top of the massage ball 4, then passes through the material sheet and into the hollow ball sponge 43. Blocked by the airbag 47, the heat and smoke flow only within the hollow ball sponge 43, finally passing through the material sheet at the bottom of the massage ball 4 before exiting the massage ball 4 through the air outlet 38 extending from the massage ball 4's retaining ring 5. Thus, the heat and smoke generated by the burning moxa stick, during these two passes through the material sheet, volatilize the medicinal components within the material sheet, mixing with the smoke generated by the burning moxa stick before exiting the massage ball 4 downward. This allows for simultaneous fumigation of both the moxa smoke and the active ingredients volatilized from the material sheet, achieving the effect of moxibustion through a barrier, further enhancing the effectiveness of the fumigation moxibustion. Similar to conventional fumigation, the speed of the drive motor 6 is controlled by the speed adjustment button 53, thereby adjusting the air volume of the fan blades 7, and thus controlling the temperature of the heat and the flow rate of the smoke leaving the massage ball 4, allowing for customized moxibustion applications. When the temperature of the heat leaving the massage ball 4 is relatively mild and the flow rate of the volatile substances in the smoke and material flakes is relatively slow, the massage ball 4 can be directly extended from the massage ball limiting ring 5 to contact the skin at the moxibustion position and roll on the skin to apply massage, which is further beneficial to the skin's absorption.

[0079] When performing direct moxibustion, the present invention requires adjusting the speed of the drive motor 6 to the fastest speed, compared to conventional fumigation methods, so that the moxa stick burns most vigorously and generates the most heat. Furthermore, the massage ball 4 does not contain any substance, so that the heat and smoke generated by the burning moxa stick are blown directly toward and through the massage ball 4. At this time, the bottom of the massage ball 4 can be directly positioned directly above the moxibustion location, so that the heat is blown directly and vertically toward the moxibustion location. By adjusting the distance between the massage ball 4 and the skin, scarless moxibustion, foaming moxibustion, and scarring moxibustion can be achieved. During moxibustion, the massage ball 4 directly contacts the skin to form scarring moxibustion, the massage ball 4 is close to the skin during moxibustion, stimulating the skin and slightly bubbling to form foaming moxibustion, and the massage ball 4 is relatively far from the skin during moxibustion, producing mild stimulation to the skin and scarless moxibustion. During scarring moxibustion, after each contact with the skin for moxibustion, the massage ball 4 needs to be rotated so that the top of the massage ball 4 rotates to the bottom, allowing it to contact the skin of another acupoint for moxibustion the next time. During the foaming moxibustion and scar-free moxibustion, the massage ball 4 is rotated after each period of moxibustion, so that the upper part of the massage ball 4 is rotated to the bottom.

[0080] The degree of burning of the moxa stick in the moxa burning tube 2 is observed by observing the observation strip 30. When the moxa stick is about to burn to the bottom or the moxa stick is extinguished before it is completely burned, the drive motor 6 is turned off by the switch button 50, and then the moxa burning tube 2 is separated from the blowing tube 1; the moxa burning tube 2 is then separated from the moxa fixing tube 3; thereby separating the moxa stick from the needle 33 of the moxa fixing tube 3. If the moxa stick breaks in the moxa burning tube 2 when the moxa burning tube 2 is separated from the moxa fixing tube 3, the part of the moxa stick still fixed to the moxa fixing tube 3 can be separated from the moxa fixing tube 3, and then the dust filter B of the moxa fixing tube 3 can be taken out, and the dust filter B can be inserted into the moxa burning tube 2 from the end of the moxa burning tube 2 corresponding to the moxa fixing tube 3, and then a long rod can be extended into the moxa burning tube 2 from the end where the dust filter B is inserted, and the moxa stick in the moxa burning tube 2 can be pushed out from the end corresponding to the blowing tube 1.

[0081] After use, the massage ball 4 needs to be taken out and disassembled, and the hollow ball sponge 43, the sponge ball 45 and the airbag ball 47 can be reused after cleaning and disinfection.

[0082] The ceramic layer 39 itself has good uniform thermal conductivity, and the material of the ceramic layer 39 is porous ceramic, so that a certain amount of heat and smoke can be contained in the ceramic layer 39, and the heat and smoke entering the massage ball 4 through the ceramic layer 39, as well as the heat and smoke leaving the massage ball 4 through the ceramic layer 39 are more uniform; thus, even if the smoke on the side of the massage ball 4 facing the skin is sparse or even no smoke, the heat on the outer wall of the massage ball 4 can still be retained for a period of time; it also makes the temperature consistency of the surface of the massage ball 4 facing the moxa stick fixing tube 3 and the temperature consistency of the surface of the massage ball 4 extending out of the massage ball limit ring 5, thereby ensuring the consistency of the moxibustion effect.

[0083] When the power display bar 52 shows that the power of the battery 8 is insufficient, after turning off the drive motor 6 by the switch button 50, the charging line can be connected to the battery charging interface 51 for charging until the power display bar 52 shows that the power of the battery 8 is sufficient.

[0084] The structural materials involved in the present invention are all flame retardant and high temperature resistant materials.
