[0031] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 13In the embodiment of the universal moxibustion working head assembly for intelligent moxibustion robots shown in the present invention, the universal moxibustion working head assembly for intelligent moxibustion robots includes a connecting device 10, a housing 20, and a cover 30. The connecting device 10 is provided with a universal connecting hole 101 for connecting with a robotic arm. The housing 20 is mounted on the connecting device 10, and a moxibustion cylinder 40 is installed inside the housing 20. The moxibustion cylinder 40 is filled with moxa sticks 401. The top of the moxibustion cylinder 40 is provided with a smoke outlet 402. The cover 30 is provided with a smoke exhaust connector 31 corresponding to the smoke outlet 402. The lower side of the housing 20 is provided with an annular transmission... The bottom end of the moxibustion cylinder 40 passes through the central through hole of the sensing chamber 50. The annular bottom plate 51 of the sensing chamber 50 is provided with multiple mounting holes. The sensing chamber 50 is equipped with a laser rangefinder 52, a camera 53, a temperature sensor 54, and a laser indicator light 55, which are respectively corresponding to the mounting holes. The laser rangefinder 52 is used to detect the distance between the moxibustion head and the human skin. The camera 53 is used to collect images of the human skin. The temperature sensor 54 is used to collect the temperature of the human skin during the moxibustion process. The laser indicator light 55 is used to indicate the projection position of the moxibustion head on the human skin.

[0033] This application discloses a universal moxibustion head assembly suitable for intelligent moxibustion robots. It can be easily connected to the robotic arm of a moxibustion device via a connecting plate, offering high versatility. By incorporating a laser rangefinder, camera, temperature sensor, and laser indicator light within the sensor compartment at the bottom of the housing, the distance between the moxibustion head and the human skin can be detected by the laser rangefinder. This allows the control module of the moxibustion device to accurately control the position of the moxibustion head when controlling the robotic arm's movement for moxibustion operations, effectively preventing burns from contact with the skin and significantly improving the safety of moxibustion operations. The assembly can be easily connected to the robotic arm of the moxibustion device via a connecting device, further enhancing its versatility. The moxibustion cylinder can be quickly removed by opening the housing cover, facilitating cleaning and maintenance. The top smoke exhaust method and annular flue design ensure more even combustion of the moxa stick and higher smoke extraction efficiency. Providing a universal external connection interface and hardware protection functions, and integrating the aforementioned sensors, the assembly significantly improves the safety of moxibustion operations through dual hardware and software safety protection, and also facilitates the rapid development and application of moxibustion robot systems.

[0034] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, the bottom end of the moxibustion cylinder 40 is not lower than the bottom end of the annular base plate 51, so that when the moxibustion head accidentally touches human skin, the bottom end of the moxibustion cylinder 40 will not directly contact human skin, effectively preventing accidental burns. Preferably, a rubber pad is also provided on the lower side of the annular base plate 51 to protect the sensors and reduce the impact force of accidental collisions.

[0035] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, the annular base plate 51 is provided with eight evenly arranged mounting holes, which are arranged in an octagonal shape. Four laser rangefinders 52 are installed in the sensing chamber 50, which are arranged in a cross-shaped symmetrical arrangement. The data processing unit can accurately calculate the distance between the moxibustion head and the human skin based on the detection data of the four laser rangefinders 52. Preferably, two symmetrically arranged cameras 53 are installed in the sensing chamber 50. Both cameras 53 are wide-angle cameras to ensure that enough effective human skin images can be clearly captured during moxibustion. The two cameras are connected to the camera driver board in the control circuit board through FPC flexible flat cables. They form a binocular system through hardware frame-synchronous processing, and then more visual information can be obtained by using visual algorithms in the upper controller. The data processing unit can also adjust the distance between the moxibustion head and the human body to improve the moxibustion effect based on the human skin temperature data collected by the temperature sensor 54; the laser indicator light 55 is used to indicate the projection position of the moxibustion head on the human skin, which makes it easier for staff to intuitively observe the moxibustion position during the moxibustion operation. The data processing unit can also analyze and adjust the moxibustion position based on the image information collected by the camera.

[0036] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, an electrical control compartment 201 is provided at the connection between the housing 20 and the connecting device 10. A control circuit board 202 is installed inside the electrical control compartment 201. The laser rangefinder, the camera, the temperature sensor, and the laser indicator light are all electrically connected to the control circuit board. An indicator light 203, electrically connected to the control circuit board, is also provided on the side wall of the electrical control compartment 201. An electrical connector 204 is also provided on the upper side of the electrical control compartment 201 to facilitate electrical connection between the moxibustion head and the control module of the moxibustion device. In one embodiment of this application, preferably, the electrical control system of the moxibustion head uses a microcontroller with a Cortex-M4 core to collect and process sensor information, including temperature, distance, and collision status, and then encodes and sends the data. The visual image is processed by the driver boards of the two cameras and transmitted separately via a USB interface. Preferably, the moxibustion head uses an 8-pin aviation connector as the power and signal interface, powered externally and communicating externally. The communication method follows the 485 standard communication protocol, which has strong versatility. The indicator lights on the moxibustion device head can be used to display the system's operating and fault status. Different status information can be queried through coding, such as distance measurement signal loss, temperature measurement signal loss, collision abnormality, etc.

[0037] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, one side of the cover 30 is hinged and fixed to the housing 20, and the other side of the cover 30 is snapped to the housing 20 by a buckle 32. The housing 20 is also provided with an elastic button 21 corresponding to the buckle 32, thereby making it easy to open the cover and facilitate the installation and removal of the moxibustion tube.

[0038] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, the moxibustion cylinder 40 includes an outer cylinder 41 with a bottom opening and an inner cylinder 42, both of which are made of metal. The moxa stick 401 is located in the inner cylinder 42. The top of the outer cylinder 41 is provided with a smoke outlet 402. The top plate of the inner cylinder 42 is connected to the top plate of the outer cylinder 41 through a connecting column 43. An annular smoke exhaust channel communicating with the smoke outlet 402 is formed between the outer cylinder 41 and the inner cylinder 42. Specifically, after the lower end of the moxa stick 401 is lit, it can be used for moxibustion when it is brought close to the human skin by the moxibustion head. The smoke generated after the lower end of the moxa stick 401 is lit can flow upward through the annular smoke exhaust channel between the outer cylinder 41 and the inner cylinder 42 and be discharged through the smoke outlet 402. The upward flow of smoke helps the moxa stick to burn more fully and evenly.

[0039] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, the lower end of the outer cylinder 41 is provided with a detachable protective cover 44, the bottom end of the protective cover 44 is provided with a dust-proof net 45 corresponding to the bottom end of the moxa stick 401, and the upper side of the dust-proof net 45 is also provided with a moxa stick bracket 46 supporting the bottom end of the moxa stick 401. Preferably, as Figure 10 As shown, the lower end of the outer cylinder 41 is provided with a locking block, and the protective cover 44 is provided with an L-shaped opening slot. The protective cover 44 can be easily installed and removed by rotating it. In another embodiment, the protective cover is connected to the lower end of the outer cylinder 41 by a threaded connection for easy disassembly. When installing the moxa stick 401, first remove the protective cover 44, then insert the moxa stick 401 into the inner cylinder 42 from bottom to top, and then install the protective cover 44. The moxa stick bracket 46 on the upper side of the ash-separating net 45 supports the bottom end of the moxa stick 401, thereby facilitating the installation of the moxa stick. After the bottom end of the moxa stick is lit, the generated moxa ash can fall onto the upper side of the ash-separating net 45. As shown in the figure, the three moxa stick brackets 46 are symmetrically arranged and the top of the moxa stick brackets 46 protrudes upward, so that a gap for storing moxa ash is formed on the upper side of the ash-separating net.

[0040] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, the dust-proof mesh 45 is installed at the lower end of the protective cover 44 via an elastic rod 47, the elastic rod 47 including a connecting rod 471 and a spring 472; as Figure 3As shown, the lower side of the ash-separating mesh 45 is provided with four elastic pull rods 47, which make the ash-separating mesh 45 elastically connected to the protective cover 44. The bottom end of the moxa stick 401 abuts against the moxa stick support 46 on the upper side of the ash-separating mesh 45. The ash-separating mesh vibrates through an external vibrating device with brush bristles, which can knock away the moxa ash produced by the burning of the moxa stick. Specifically, when the ash-separating mesh vibrates under the contact of the brush bristles, the blocky moxa ash will vibrate and disperse. The small particles formed after the moxa ash is vibrated and dispersed can fall through the mesh holes of the ash-separating mesh. The remaining small amount of moxa ash can also be brushed off by the brush bristles. Thus, the moxa ash on the upper side of the ash-separating mesh can be removed as needed to prevent the accumulation of too much moxa ash from affecting the moxibustion effect.

[0041] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, as shown below, Figure 5 , Figure 12 As shown, an oil collection box 48 is provided on the upper side of the outer cylinder 41. The middle part of the oil collection box 48 is provided with a central cylinder 481 corresponding to the smoke outlet 402. The center of the top cover 482 of the oil collection box 48 is provided with a smoke outlet pipe 483 corresponding to the smoke exhaust connector 31. A cotton ball holder 484 is provided in the smoke outlet pipe 483. The upper side of the cotton ball holder 484 is filled with filter cotton balls (not shown in the figure). The filter cotton balls in the smoke outlet pipe 483 can perform preliminary filtration of the moxa smoke. The moxa oil in the smoke can be collected by the oil collection box 48 to collect the moxa oil dripping due to filtration and cooling. Preferably, the oil collection box 48 is made of transparent material so as to facilitate observation of the amount of moxa oil in the oil collection box. When there is too much moxa oil, the top cover 482 can be opened to clean the oil stains.

[0042] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, as shown below, Figure 10 As shown, the outer cylinder 41 of the moxibustion cylinder 40 includes an upper cylinder 411 and a lower cylinder 412. The lower end of the upper cylinder 411 is provided with a connecting cone 413, and the upper end of the lower cylinder 412 is provided with a connecting ring plate 414. The lower cylinder 412 is installed on the lower side of the connecting cone 413 through the connecting ring plate 414. The connecting ring plate 414 is fixedly connected to the connecting cone 413 by screws. The inner wall of the housing 20 is provided with a plurality of radial support plates 22 corresponding to the connecting ring plate 414. When the moxibustion cylinder 40 is placed into the housing 20, the lower side of the connecting ring plate 414 is supported by the plurality of radial support plates 22 on the inner wall of the housing 20, thereby enabling convenient, quick and accurate installation and positioning of the moxibustion cylinder.

[0043] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, as shown below, Figure 8 , Figure 9As shown, the connecting device 10 includes a connecting horizontal plate 11 and a connecting vertical plate 12. The connecting horizontal plate 11 is provided with a connecting hole 101. The housing 20 is provided with a mounting vertical plate 23 corresponding to the connecting vertical plate 12. A vertical guide rail 13 is fixed on the connecting vertical plate 12. A slider 24 adapted to the vertical guide rail 14 is provided on the mounting vertical plate 23 so that the housing 20 can slide up and down relative to the connecting device 10. The connecting vertical plate 12 is also provided with a vertical groove 14. A supporting horizontal plate 25 extending into the vertical groove 14 is provided on the mounting vertical plate 23. A spring 15 is also installed in the vertical groove 14. The upper end of the spring 15 abuts against the lower side of the connecting horizontal plate 12, and the lower end of the spring 15 abuts against the upper side of the supporting horizontal plate 25, so that the housing 20 and the connecting device 10 are elastically connected. The elastic buffer is intended to provide reaction time for the robotic arm to avoid collisions in emergency situations, and can avoid accidental injury caused by the human body suddenly standing up under the moxibustion head and the robotic arm during moxibustion.

[0044] In one embodiment of this application, preferably, as shown below, Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the connecting vertical plate 12 or mounting vertical plate 23 is also provided with a micro switch 26 corresponding to the supporting horizontal plate 25. When the housing 20 moves vertically upwards relative to the connecting device 10 by a preset distance, the micro switch 26 can be triggered. Specifically, after the moxibustion working head is connected and fixed to the mechanical arm of the moxibustion device through the connecting hole 101 on the connecting horizontal plate 11, when the moxibustion working head moves with the mechanical arm to perform moxibustion, when the moxibustion working head moves downwards and the bottom end of the sensing chamber 50 on the lower side of the housing 20 touches the human skin, the housing 20 moves upwards relative to the connecting device 10. When the distance that the housing 20 moves upwards relative to the connecting device 10 is greater than the preset distance, the micro switch 26 generates a trigger signal. The control module of the moxibustion device can enter the emergency mode according to the trigger signal generated by the micro switch 26 and control the mechanical arm to drive the moxibustion working head upwards at the maximum speed away from the human skin to avoid the burning moxa stick from contacting the human skin and causing burns. In one embodiment of this application, as Figure 9 As shown, the micro switch 26 is installed at the bottom of the vertical slot 14 and located on the lower side of the support plate 25. Under normal circumstances, the spring 15 is kept in a compressed pre-tight state so that the connecting device 10 is elastically connected to the housing 20. At this time, the lower side of the support plate 25 presses the spring of the micro switch 26. When the support plate 25 moves upward relative to the connecting device 10 with the housing 20 and the moving distance is greater than the preset distance, the support plate 25 moves upward and disengages from the spring of the micro switch 26. The micro switch 26 generates a collision signal to trigger the emergency mode.

[0045] The universal moxibustion head assembly for intelligent moxibustion robots disclosed in this application can trigger a software protection alarm based on the distance detected by the laser rangefinder 52 when the housing moves downwards and gets too close to human skin or obstacles, thus preventing the burning moxa stick from contacting human skin and causing burns. When the moxibustion head moves too fast with the robotic arm of the moxibustion device, or when a human body suddenly moves close to the moxibustion head and causes an accidental collision, the elastic connection structure between the connecting device 10 and the housing 20 can trigger the micro switch 26 to generate a collision signal, triggering a hardware protection alarm. This allows the robotic arm to be controlled to quickly reset the moxibustion head, preventing the burning moxa stick from contacting human skin and causing burns. Through dual protection of software and hardware, burns caused by the burning moxa stick contacting human skin can be effectively prevented.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
