A needle warming moxibustion device with temperature control function

Abstract

This invention provides a warm acupuncture device with temperature control, belonging to the field of warm acupuncture technology. It includes acupuncture needles, a fixed tube, a movable tube, a fixed groove, a fixed crossbar, an upper connecting rod, and an inclined rod. The invention utilizes a movable tube, a mounting frame, a fixed groove, and a pressing plate. By pressing the lower end of the pressing plate inward, the clamping block penetrates the fixed tube, releasing the acupuncture needle. At this point, the movable tube and mounting frame can be lifted upward, separating the acupuncture needle from the moxa stick and reducing the needle's temperature. This achieves direct and rapid temperature control by allowing the acupuncture needle to contact and separate from the burning moxa stick. This solves the problem of existing warm acupuncture temperature control devices that regulate temperature by controlling the number of vents, which is slow and affects treatment effectiveness. Furthermore, the acupuncture needles inserted into the skin, bearing a large load, are not stable enough when supported solely by the needles. Additionally, ash can fall from the vents of the container holding the burning moxa stick, potentially burning the patient.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of warm needling technology, and in particular to a warm needling device with temperature control function. Background Technology

[0002] Warm acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that combines the characteristics of acupuncture and thermotherapy. It uses specially designed warm needles, which are inserted into acupoints and heated to stimulate the acupoints, thereby achieving a therapeutic effect. Warm acupuncture can regulate qi and blood, activate meridians, relieve pain, and promote blood circulation. It is commonly used to treat rheumatism, musculoskeletal disorders, and nervous system diseases. Compared to traditional acupuncture, warm acupuncture is characterized by stronger stimulation and faster results. However, warm acupuncture must be performed by a professional physician and must be selected and adjusted according to the patient's specific condition; it should not be performed arbitrarily.

[0003] A search of authorized publication number CN110025481A reveals a warm acupuncture device with temperature control function, comprising: a base plate, side pieces, a base needle, a bottom hole, an upper needle, a connector, a connecting head, a lower needle, a limiting plate, a connecting column, and a connecting groove; the main body is a cylindrical hollow structure, and the top edge of the main body is inclined; the air outlet is located on the inner side of the inner groove of the main body, and the fixing piece is located inside the main body; the cover plate has an embedded groove inside, and the top edge of the cover plate is inclined, and the cover plate is installed on the top of the main body by a fitting; the movable plate here serves to allow the baffle to move manually after the cover plate is installed, thereby blocking the air outlet, thus isolating the moxa stick from air, allowing the moxa stick to burn in a controlled manner, and allowing the temperature to be controlled, so that the temperature can be controlled as needed when performing warm acupuncture with this device.

[0004] However, it still has the following shortcomings in practical applications: The above-mentioned warm acupuncture temperature control device regulates the temperature by controlling the number of air vents, but this makes the temperature regulation speed slow, affecting the treatment effect. In addition, when acupuncture needles are inserted into the skin and there are many things on top, they are only supported by acupuncture needles, which is not stable enough. At the same time, ash will fall from the air vents of the container holding the burning moxa sticks, which may burn the patient. Therefore, this application provides a warm acupuncture device with temperature control function to meet the needs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a warm acupuncture device with temperature control function to solve the problem that the existing warm acupuncture temperature control device regulates the temperature by controlling the number of air vents. However, this method is slow and affects the treatment effect. Furthermore, when acupuncture needles are inserted into the skin and have a lot of loads on top, the stability is insufficient because they are supported only by the acupuncture needles. Also, ash may fall from the air vents of the container holding the burning moxa sticks, causing burns to the patient.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A temperature-controlled acupuncture device includes: an acupuncture needle; a fixed tube fitted onto the upper outer surface of the acupuncture needle; a movable tube extending through the outer surface of the fixed tube; a fixed groove formed on the lower outer surface of the movable tube; a fixed crossbar disposed on the outer side wall of the fixed tube; an upper connecting rod connected to the upper surface of the fixed crossbar; and an inclined rod disposed on the outside of the fixed crossbar.

[0008] The above structure allows for rapid temperature regulation, supports the temperature control device, and protects against falling ash, preventing harm to patients.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing tube includes a first support connected to its lower surface, an adhesive strip attached to the upper surface of the bottom end of the first support, and a square groove formed on the side wall of the upper outer surface of the fixing tube. The radius of the opening at the top end of the fixing tube is smaller than the radius of the opening at the bottom end, and the radius of the tip of the acupuncture needle is larger than the radius of the top end of the fixing tube.

[0010] The first support and adhesive strip are used to fix the acupuncture needle in place after it is inserted into the acupoint, preventing it from shifting position and providing some support.

[0011] Preferably, the movable tube includes a mounting frame disposed on its upper surface, a first ventilation hole opened on the side wall of the outer surface of the mounting frame, an annular groove opened on the lower surface of the mounting frame, and a through groove opened inside the annular groove. The through groove is opened inside the side wall of the mounting frame and extends through the top of the mounting frame. The movable tube is a through-tube with a smaller top and a larger bottom.

[0012] The mounting frame is designed so that when the movable tube moves upward, it will cause the mounting frame to move upward as well, separating the tip of the acupuncture needle from the burning moxa stick, thus quickly controlling the temperature.

[0013] Preferably, the fixing groove includes a pressing plate disposed therein, a spring connected to the upper side wall of the pressing plate, a first movable shaft passing through the outer surface of the pressing plate, and a clamping block connected to the inner wall of the pressing plate.

[0014] By using a press plate, a first movable shaft, and a spring, the lower end of the press plate is pressed inward when connected to the spring, causing the upper end of the press plate to lift up, thus adjusting the position of the acupuncture needle and the fixing tube within the mounting frame.

[0015] Preferably, the upper end of the fixing groove is not through, the lower end is through the movable tube, and the left end of the spring is connected to the inner wall of the fixing groove, the right end is connected to the left side wall of the pressing plate, and the upper end of the pressing plate has a square groove clamping block through it to clamp and fix the outer surface of the acupuncture needle.

[0016] By using the clamping blocks, when the lower end of the pressing plate is pressed, the clamping blocks penetrate into the fixed tube to clamp and release the acupuncture needle.

[0017] Preferably, the fixed crossbar includes a second support column disposed on the outer surface of its middle section, a first movable groove opened in the middle section of the second support column, a second movable shaft passing through the fixed crossbar and the outer surface of the second support column, and an inclined block connecting the inner sidewall of the upper end of the second support column. The inclined block is in contact with the outer surface of the movable tube, and during the vertical movement of the movable tube, the second support column is tilted at an angle under the connection of the second movable shaft.

[0018] By setting a fixed crossbar, a second support column, and an inclined block, when the movable tube moves up and down, the inclined block fits against the outer surface of the movable tube, which is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom. As the movable tube moves up and down, the second support column is tilted at an angle under the movable connection of the second movable shaft, providing better support for the temperature control device.

[0019] Preferably, the upper connecting rod includes an annular mounting block connected to its upper surface, a misalignment plate fixedly disposed on the upper surface of the annular mounting block, and a second ventilation hole opened on the side wall of the outer surface of the misalignment plate.

[0020] With the setting of the annular mounting block, the misalignment plate, and the second ventilation hole, when the movable pipe moves the mounting frame up and down, the annular mounting block and the misalignment plate remain fixed in position, so that the first ventilation hole and the second ventilation hole correspond and are misaligned.

[0021] Preferably, the annular mounting block and the annular groove are positively aligned, and the misaligned plate and the through groove are positively aligned. During the vertical movement of the mounting frame, the annular mounting block and the misaligned plate remain fixed, causing the first ventilation hole and the second ventilation hole to correspond and misalign.

[0022] With the offset plate and the second ventilation hole, when the mounting frame moves upward, the first ventilation hole and the second ventilation hole are misaligned, reducing the number of ventilation holes, thus decreasing the combustion intensity and lowering the temperature. When the mounting frame descends, the first ventilation hole and the second ventilation hole are aligned, opening the ventilation hole, increasing the combustion intensity and raising the temperature.

[0023] Preferably, the tilting rod includes a second movable groove formed on the outer surface of its middle section, a connecting frame disposed inside the second movable groove, a third movable shaft penetrating the outer surface of the tilting rod and the connecting frame, a protective cover disposed on the inner wall of the upper end of the tilting rod, a connecting block disposed on the lower surface of the protective cover, and a fourth movable shaft penetrating the outer surface of the connecting block and the connecting frame.

[0024] With the tilting rod and protective cover installed, the tilting rod moves during the movement of the second pillar and is connected by the third movable shaft, causing the protective cover to merge, thus protecting the ash falling from the ventilation hole and preventing it from causing damage to the patient's skin.

[0025] Preferably, the inclined rod is connected to the outer surface of the lower end of the second support column, and three protective covers are provided and distributed on the outer surface of the mounting frame.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0027] In the above scheme, by setting up a movable tube, mounting frame, fixing groove, and pressing plate, pressing the lower end of the pressing plate inward causes the clamping block to penetrate into the fixing tube and release the acupuncture needle. At this time, the movable tube and mounting frame can be lifted upward to separate the acupuncture needle from the moxa stick, thereby reducing the temperature of the acupuncture needle. This achieves contact and separation between the acupuncture needle and the burning moxa stick, enabling direct and rapid temperature control.

[0028] With the fixed crossbar, second support column, second movable shaft and tilting block set up, when the movable tube and mounting frame move upward, the tilting block will move angularly on the outer surface of the movable tube. Under the movable connection of the second movable shaft, as the movable tube moves upward, the tilting block moves outward, causing the lower end of the second support column to shift outward, thereby increasing the support force.

[0029] With the upper connecting rod, annular mounting block, misalignment plate, and second ventilation hole, the upper connecting rod remains stationary when the mounting frame moves upward, and the first and second ventilation holes are misaligned, reducing the number of ventilation holes, decreasing the combustion intensity, and lowering the temperature. When the mounting frame descends, the first and second ventilation holes align directly, opening the ventilation holes, increasing the combustion intensity, and raising the temperature. The combination of these two mechanisms allows for more rapid temperature control.

[0030] Through the installation of the tilting rod, connecting frame, third movable shaft, protective cover and fourth movable shaft, the upper end of the tilting rod will move in conjunction with the movement of the second support column through the movable connection of the third movable shaft. When the lower end of the second support column moves outward, the upper end of the tilting rod moves inward, driving the protective cover to move inward, so that the three protective covers merge together, preventing ash from leaking out of the ventilation hole and burning the patient's skin.

[0045] As shown in the figure, specific structures and devices are labeled in the figure to clearly illustrate the structure of the embodiments of the present invention. However, this is only for illustrative purposes and is not intended to limit the present invention to the specific structure, device and environment. Those skilled in the art can adjust or modify these devices and environments according to specific needs, and such adjustments or modifications are still included in the scope of the appended claims. Detailed Implementation

[0046] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a warm acupuncture device with temperature control function, including an acupuncture needle 1, a fixed tube 2, a movable tube 3, a fixed groove 4, a fixed crossbar 5, an upper connecting rod 6, and an inclined rod 7. The fixed tube 2 is fitted onto the upper outer surface of the acupuncture needle 1; the movable tube 3 penetrates the outer surface of the fixed tube 2; the fixed groove 4 is formed on the lower outer surface of the movable tube 3; the fixed crossbar 5 is disposed on the side wall of the outer surface of the fixed tube 2; the upper connecting rod 6 is connected to the upper surface of the fixed crossbar 5; the inclined rod 7 is disposed on the outside of the fixed crossbar 5. By moving the movable tube 3 up and down, the temperature can be quickly adjusted, the temperature control device can be supported, and falling ash can be protected to prevent injury to the patient.

[0048] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 9 As shown, the fixed tube 2 includes a first support column 21 connected to its lower surface, an adhesive strip 22 attached to the upper surface of the bottom end of the first support column 21, and a square groove 23 opened on the side wall of the upper outer surface of the fixed tube 2. The radius of the opening at the top end of the fixed tube 2 is smaller than the radius of the opening at the bottom end, and the radius of the top end of the acupuncture needle 1 is larger than the radius of the top end of the fixed tube 2. The movable tube 3 includes a mounting frame 31 set on its upper surface, a first ventilation hole 32 opened on the side wall of the outer surface of the mounting frame 31, an annular groove 33 opened on the lower surface of the mounting frame 31, and a through groove 34 opened inside the annular groove 33. The through groove 34 is opened inside the side wall of the mounting frame 31 and passes through the top end of the mounting frame 31. The movable tube 3 is shaped like a through-tube fixed groove 4 with a smaller top and a larger bottom, including a pressing plate 41 set inside it, a spring 42 connected to the side wall of the upper end of the pressing plate 41, a first movable shaft 43 passing through the outer surface of the pressing plate 41, and a connecting rod connected to the pressing plate 41. The clamping block 44 on the inner wall and the upper connecting rod 6 include an annular mounting block 61 connected to its upper surface, a misalignment plate 62 fixedly set on the upper surface of the annular mounting block 61, and a second ventilation hole 63 opened on the side wall of the outer surface of the misalignment plate 62. First, the acupuncture needle 1 is inserted into the acupoint, and then the fixing tube 2 is sleeved on the outer surface of the acupuncture needle 1. When the patient feels that the temperature is too high, the medical staff only need to press the lower end of the pressing plate 41 inward to make the clamping block 44 loosen the outer surface of the acupuncture needle 1. At this time, the movable tube 3 and the mounting frame 31 are moved upward, so that the moxa stick and the tip of the acupuncture needle 1 do not contact each other, the temperature transfer is reduced, and the temperature is lowered. At the same time, as the mounting frame 31 moves upward, the second ventilation hole 63 on the misalignment plate 62 is misaligned with the first ventilation hole 32, so that the first ventilation hole 32 on the outer surface of the mounting frame 31 is closed, reducing contact with air, reducing the intensity of combustion, and lowering the temperature. Together, they regulate the temperature and can quickly control the rise and fall of the temperature.

[0049] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figures 8-10 As shown, the fixed crossbar 5 includes a second support column 51 disposed on the outer surface of its middle section, a first movable groove 52 opened in the middle section of the second support column 51, a second movable shaft 53 passing through the fixed crossbar 5 and the outer surface of the second support column 51, and an inclined block 54 connecting the inner side wall of the upper end of the second support column 51. The inclined block 54 is in contact with the outer surface of the movable tube 3, and during the vertical movement of the movable tube 3, the second support column 51 is tilted at an angle under the connection of the second movable shaft 53. When the movable tube 3 and the mounting frame 31 move upward, the inclined block 54 will move at an angle on the outer surface of the movable tube 3. Under the movable connection of the second movable shaft 53, as the movable tube 3 moves upward, the inclined block 54 moves outward, causing the lower end of the second support column 51 to shift outward, thereby increasing the support force.

[0050] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 11 As shown, the tilting rod 7 includes a second movable groove 71 formed on the outer surface of its middle section, a connecting frame 72 disposed inside the second movable groove 71, a third movable shaft 73 penetrating the outer surface of the tilting rod 7 and the connecting frame 72, a protective cover 74 disposed on the inner wall of the upper end of the tilting rod 7, a connecting block 75 disposed on the lower surface of the protective cover 74, and a fourth movable shaft 76 penetrating the outer surface of the connecting block 75 and the connecting frame 72. During the movement of the second support column 51, the upper end of the tilting rod 7 will move in conjunction with the movement of the third movable shaft 73. When the lower end of the second support column 51 moves outward, the upper end of the tilting rod 7 moves inward, causing the protective cover 74 to move inward, so that the three protective covers 74 merge together to prevent ash from leaking out of the ventilation hole and burning the patient's skin.

[0051] The technical solution provided by this invention, through the setting of a movable tube, mounting frame, fixing groove, and pressing plate, presses the lower end of the pressing plate inward, and the clamping block penetrates into the interior of the fixing tube, releasing the acupuncture needle. At this time, the movable tube and mounting frame can be lifted upward, so that the acupuncture needle is separated from the moxa stick, reducing the temperature of the acupuncture needle. This achieves contact and separation between the acupuncture needle and the burning moxa stick, and directly and quickly controls the temperature.

[0052] With the fixed crossbar, second support column, second movable shaft and tilting block set up, when the movable tube and mounting frame move upward, the tilting block will move angularly on the outer surface of the movable tube. Under the movable connection of the second movable shaft, as the movable tube moves upward, the tilting block moves outward, causing the lower end of the second support column to shift outward, thereby increasing the support force.

[0053] With the upper connecting rod, annular mounting block, misalignment plate, and second ventilation hole, the upper connecting rod remains stationary when the mounting frame moves upward, and the first and second ventilation holes are misaligned, reducing the number of ventilation holes, decreasing the combustion intensity, and lowering the temperature. When the mounting frame descends, the first and second ventilation holes align directly, opening the ventilation holes, increasing the combustion intensity, and raising the temperature. The combination of these two mechanisms allows for more rapid temperature control.

[0054] Through the installation of the tilting rod, connecting frame, third movable shaft, protective cover and fourth movable shaft, the upper end of the tilting rod will move in conjunction with the movement of the second support column through the movable connection of the third movable shaft. When the lower end of the second support column moves outward, the upper end of the tilting rod moves inward, driving the protective cover to move inward, so that the three protective covers merge together, preventing ash from leaking out of the ventilation hole and burning the patient's skin.

[0055] The above description represents the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
