Physiotherapy head and moxibustion robot

Abstract

This invention relates to a physiotherapy head and a moxibustion robot. The physiotherapy head includes a housing assembly, a combustion chamber, and a disassembly component. The housing assembly has a receiving cavity with openings at both ends and includes multiple limiting blocks spaced circumferentially along the receiving cavity. The limiting blocks are operable to move towards or away from the axis of the receiving cavity. The combustion chamber is received within the receiving cavity, and the limiting blocks are positioned at the bottom of the combustion chamber to limit its movement. The disassembly component has a clearance cavity with at least one opening, which can be fitted over the combustion chamber. The outer wall of the disassembly component applies force to the limiting blocks to disengage them from the combustion chamber. When it is necessary to detach the combustion chamber from the housing assembly, the force applied by the disassembly component to the limiting blocks eliminates the need for the operator to directly touch the housing assembly and combustion chamber, thus preventing burns from the high temperature of the housing assembly and combustion chamber, improving the safety of the physiotherapy head, and ultimately enhancing the user experience.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of moxibustion robot technology, and in particular to a therapeutic head and a moxibustion robot. Background Technology

[0002] Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy with a long history and significant clinical value. It typically uses mugwort (also known as wormwood) to stimulate acupoints on the body to treat illnesses or promote health. When burned, mugwort releases a distinctive aroma that generates warmth upon contact with the skin, stimulating meridians and acupoints, regulating qi and blood, and activating the meridians. Compared to traditional moxibustion, moxibustion robots utilize modern technology to precisely control the temperature and time of mugwort burning, achieving better therapeutic effects while avoiding the safety risks associated with manual operation.

[0003] Typically, moxibustion robots include a top cover assembly, a middle shell assembly, a lower shell assembly, and a combustion chamber. In related technologies, the combustion chamber is connected to the middle shell assembly and the lower shell assembly via snap-fit ​​connections. Disassembly requires direct contact with the combustion chamber, which can easily burn the operator due to its high temperature, posing a safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0019] In one embodiment, the ash-separating bin further includes a smoke chamber component, the periphery of which is pressed between the card plate and the ash-separating bin. The smoke chamber component covers the opening of the receiving cavity of the ash-separating bin. The smoke chamber component is constructed with a plurality of protrusions protruding along the axial direction of the smoke chamber component. Each of the protrusions is provided with a flue that runs through the axial direction of the smoke chamber component. The flue is used to discharge smoke.

[0020] In one embodiment, the card plate has a plurality of protrusions spaced along the outer periphery, the protrusions protruding outwards; the housing includes:

[0021] The middle shell is constructed with the aforementioned receiving cavity;

[0022] Multiple first heat insulation plates are fixedly connected to the middle shell. Each first heat insulation plate has a notch, and the protrusion is engaged in the notch.

[0023] In one embodiment, the housing further includes a lower shell, which is connected to the middle shell, and the lower shell has a through hole communicating with a receiving cavity in the middle shell; the housing also includes:

[0024] The second heat insulation plate is fixedly connected to the through hole of the lower shell and is located at one end away from the middle shell;

A disassembly component applies force to the limiting blocks, allowing them to move away from the combustion chamber and disengage, thus enabling disassembly of the combustion chamber. This structure allows the combustion chamber to be removed from the housing assembly without direct contact between the operator's hands and the housing assembly and the combustion chamber. This prevents burns from the high temperature of the housing assembly and combustion chamber, improving the safety of the physiotherapy head and enhancing the user experience.

[0062] See Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of the present invention provides a moxibustion robot, which includes a housing 200, a robotic arm 400, an ignition chamber 300, and a treatment head 100. The ignition chamber 300 is disposed on the housing 200, and the treatment head 100 is connected to the robotic arm 400, which can drive the treatment head 100 to move.

[0063] See 4 to Figure 8An embodiment of the present invention provides a physiotherapy head 100, which includes a housing assembly 110, a combustion chamber 120, and a disassembly component 130. The housing assembly 110 is configured with a receiving cavity open at both ends. The housing assembly 110 includes a plurality of limiting blocks 1125 spaced circumferentially along the receiving cavity. The limiting blocks 1125 are operable to move toward or away from the axis of the receiving cavity. The combustion chamber 120 is accommodated in the receiving cavity. The limiting blocks 1125 are abutted at the bottom of the combustion chamber 120 to limit the combustion chamber 120. The disassembly component 130 is configured with a relief cavity open at least one end. The relief cavity is sleeved on the outside of the combustion chamber 120. The outer wall of the disassembly component 130 can exert force on the limiting blocks 1125 to disengage the limiting blocks 1125 from the combustion chamber 120.

[0064] This technical solution provides a physiotherapy head 100, with a housing assembly 110 for supporting and mounting a combustion chamber 120. Specifically, a receiving cavity with openings at both ends is constructed on the housing assembly 110 to facilitate the mounting of the combustion chamber 120 within the housing assembly 110. Multiple limiting blocks 1125 are provided on the housing assembly 110, spaced axially along the receiving cavity, and these limiting blocks 1125 are positioned to block the bottom of the combustion chamber 120, thereby limiting the combustion chamber 120 and preventing it from detaching from the housing assembly 110. A disassembly member 130 is provided, which applies force to the limiting blocks 1125, allowing the limiting blocks 1125 to move away from the combustion chamber 120, thus disassembling the combustion chamber 120. With the above structure, when the combustion chamber 120 needs to be removed from the housing assembly 110, the force of the removal part 130 acts on the limiting block 1125, so that the operator's hands do not need to directly touch the housing assembly 110 and the combustion chamber 120. This can prevent the operator from being burned by the high temperature of the housing assembly 110 and the combustion chamber 120, thereby improving the practical safety of the physiotherapy head 100 and improving the user experience.

[0065] It should be noted that the combustion chamber 120 is used to install and fix the moxa stick 600, which burns in the combustion chamber 120. For example... Figures 13 to 15As shown, specifically, the combustion chamber 120 includes a chamber body 121, a protective net 122, a protective net support 123, a guide post 124, and a first spring 125. The chamber body 121 has a mounting cavity extending along its axial direction, which is used to accommodate the moxa stick 600. The protective net 122 is fixed to the protective net support 123 by bolts. The guide post 124 is connected to the chamber body 121. The first spring 125 is sleeved on the outside of the guide post 124, with one end of the first spring 125 abutting against the chamber body 121 and the other end abutting against the protective net support 123. When the protective net 122 or the protective net support 123 is subjected to external force and moves along the axial direction of the chamber body 121, the first spring 125 can apply an elastic force to the protective net 122 to make the protective net 122 move. The force exerted by the protective net 122 is applied to the moxa stick 600, thereby shaking off the ash on the moxa stick 600.

[0066] When the chamber 121 is installed into the receiving cavity of the housing assembly 110, the limiting block 1125 abuts against the end of the chamber 121 where the protective net 122 is installed, without external force. Multiple limiting grooves 1211 are provided at the end of the chamber 121 facing away from the protective net 122. These limiting grooves 1211 engage with limiting protrusions on the smoke chamber component 1124 (described below), serving to prevent the chamber 121 from rotating within the smoke chamber component 1124 and to fix the relative angle between the combustion chamber 120 and the moxibustion head. Furthermore, multiple clearance holes are provided on the protective net 122 to allow the ignition rod 320 (described below) to pass, thereby enabling the ignition of the moxa stick 600.

[0067] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the disassembly member 130 includes a disassembly portion 131 and a gripping portion 132 connected to each other. The disassembly portion 131 is configured with a clearance cavity and can extend into the receiving cavity. The gripping portion 132 protrudes outward at least partially along the outer peripheral surface of the disassembly portion 131. The disassembly portion 131 is used to apply force to the limiting block 1125 to move the limiting block 1125 relative to the chamber body 121 of the combustion chamber 120, thereby disengaging the limiting block 1125 from the chamber body 121. The disassembly portion is provided with a clearance cavity so that when the disassembly portion 131 applies force to the limiting block 1125, the chamber body 121 can be received within the clearance cavity, and the disassembly portion 131 can extend into the receiving cavity on the housing assembly 110, thereby restricting the movement of the limiting block 1125 by means of the external force of the disassembly portion 131. The grip portion 132 is configured to protrude outward at least partially along the outer periphery of the disassembly portion, so that when disassembling the combustion chamber 120, a force can be applied to the grip portion 132 to facilitate disassembly.

[0068] Specifically, the disassembly part 131 is constructed as a cylindrical structure, wherein the inner diameter of the cylindrical structure is larger than the outer diameter of the combustion chamber 120 body 121, so that the combustion chamber 120 body 121 can extend into the inner hole of the disassembly part 131. The outer diameter of the cylindrical structure is smaller than the diameter of the receiving cavity of the housing assembly 110, so that the disassembly part 131 can extend into the receiving cavity. At the position where the disassembly part 131 meets the grip part 132, an annular structure protruding outward along the outer radial direction of the cylindrical structure is provided. The grip part 132 is provided with a pattern to increase the roughness of the grip part 132, thereby increasing the friction between the hand and the grip part 132, thereby preventing slippage between the hand and the disassembly part 130 when disassembling the combustion chamber 120, thereby improving the feel of the disassembly part 130 when using it.

[0069] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in one embodiment, the housing assembly 110 includes a housing 111 and an ash-isolating chamber 112. The housing 111 has a receiving cavity; the ash-isolating chamber 112 is detachably fixed to the receiving cavity of the housing 111, and the receiving cavity is disposed in the ash-isolating chamber 112. Each limiting block 1125 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ash-isolating chamber 112. The housing 111 is used to fix the ash-isolating chamber 112, which is used to prevent the ash from falling randomly after burning, thereby improving the cleanliness of the environment during the use of the therapy head 100. The ash-isolating chamber 112 also has a heat insulation function, preventing the temperature of the combustion chamber 120 from being directly conducted to the housing 111 to melt it. The detachable connection of the ash-isolating chamber 112 to the receiving cavity facilitates disassembly and cleaning when cleaning is required. By fixing the ash-isolating chamber 112 to the housing 111, and setting the limiting block 1125 on the ash-isolating chamber 112, the combustion chamber 120 is fixedly connected to the receiving cavity of the ash-isolating chamber 112 by the limiting block 1125, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the combustion chamber 120 and the housing 111.

[0070] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, specifically, the ash-separating bin 112 includes an ash-separating bucket 1121, multiple spring pieces 1122, and a retaining plate 1123. The receiving cavity is provided on the ash-separating bucket 1121. One end of the ash-separating bucket 1121 is provided with multiple grooves that are spaced apart along the circumference of the ash-separating bucket 1121. The grooves penetrate the side wall of the ash-separating bucket 1121 in the radial direction. One end of each spring piece 1122 is fixedly connected to the ash-separating bucket 1121 and is located in the groove. The other end of each spring piece 1122 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 1125. The spring piece 1122 can be elastically deformed. The retaining plate 1123 is fixedly connected to the end of the ash-separating bucket 1121 away from the spring piece 1122. The retaining plate 1123 is used to engage with the housing 111 to restrict the rotation of the ash-separating bucket 1121 relative to the housing 111.

[0071] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the ash-isolating bin 1121 has a cylindrical structure and is used to accommodate the combustion chamber 120, providing insulation while isolating ash. Grooves extending radially through the side wall of the ash-isolating bin 1121 are provided, with multiple grooves spaced apart to accommodate spring pieces 1122 within the grooves, allowing the spring pieces 1122 to move radially within the bin. The other end of the spring piece 1122 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 1125, so that when an external force is applied to the limiting block 1125, the spring piece 1122 can elastically deform and move the limiting block 1125, thus limiting the combustion chamber 120. By setting a locking block at one end of the ash-isolating bucket 1121 away from the spring piece 1122, and by fixing the locking plate 1123 to the ash-isolating bucket 1121, the ash-isolating bucket 1121 and the housing 111 are relatively fixed through the locking plate 1123 and the housing 111, thereby preventing the ash-isolating bucket 1121 from rotating relative to the housing 111.

[0072] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, more specifically, the bottom of the ash-separating bucket 1121 is provided with three grooves extending radially through the bucket 1121. Three spring pieces 1122 are respectively disposed in the three grooves, and a limiting block 1125 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring piece 1122. The surface of the limiting block 1125 that abuts against the disassembly piece 130 is set as an inclined surface, so that the disassembly piece 130 acts as a guide when applying force to the limiting block 1125, and also facilitates the outer wall of the disassembly piece 130 to extend into the space enclosed by the multiple limiting blocks 1125.

[0073] In this embodiment, a plurality of limiting protrusions are provided at one end of the ash-separating bucket 1121 away from the spring piece 1122. The limiting protrusions are spaced apart along the inner circumference of the ash-separating bucket 1121. The limiting protrusions are engaged in the limiting groove 1211 on the chamber body 121 to restrict the combustion chamber 120 from rotating relative to the ash-separating bucket 1121.

[0074] like Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, in one embodiment, the ash-separating bin 112 further includes a smoke chamber component 1124. The periphery of the smoke chamber component 1124 is pressed between the clamping plate 1123 and the ash-separating bin 1121, blocking the opening of the receiving cavity of the ash-separating bin 1121. The smoke chamber component 1124 is constructed with a plurality of protrusions 1124a protruding along the axial direction of the smoke chamber component 1124. Each protrusion 1124a is provided with a flue 1124b that runs through the axial direction of the smoke chamber component 1124. The flue 1124b is used to discharge smoke. By pressing the periphery of the smoke chamber component 1124 between the clamping plate 1123 and the ash-separating bin 1121, the smoke chamber component 1124 is fixed relative to the ash-separating bin 1121. The smoke chamber 1124 is a cylindrical structure closed at one end, with an outer edge protruding radially outward at the end opposite to its bottom. This outer edge is pressed between the retaining plate 1123 and the ash-separating bucket 1121. The bottom of the smoke chamber 1124 can block the opening of the ash-separating bucket 1121, thereby preventing smoke from escaping. Multiple upward-protruding protrusions 1124a are provided at the bottom of the smoke chamber 1124, each with a flue 1124b extending along the axial direction of the smoke chamber 1124. This allows smoke to escape from the flue 1124b on the protrusions 1124a. Because the protrusions 1124a protrude relative to the bottom, they prevent the oil produced by the smoke within the smoke chamber 1124 from falling back through the flue 1124b, thus preventing oily fumes from dripping onto the skin and causing burns. This design also prevents ash from entering the exhaust pipe 1113c. In another embodiment, a filter cotton may be added inside the flue 1124b to further prevent the moxa oil from falling back and to prevent the moxa ash from entering the flue 1113c.

[0075] like Figures 9 to 12 As shown, in one embodiment, the outer periphery of the card plate 1123 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 1123a spaced along the outer periphery, the protrusions 1123a protruding outward; the shell 111 includes a middle shell 1112 and a plurality of first heat insulation plates 1114, the middle shell 1112 having a receiving cavity; each first heat insulation plate 1114 is fixedly connected to the middle shell 1112, and a notch is provided on the first heat insulation plate 1114, the protrusions 1123a being engaged in the notch. The card plate 1123 has an annular plate structure, with a plurality of protrusions 1123a protruding outward along the outer periphery of the annular plate, and a notch is provided on the first heat insulation plate 1114 fixedly connected to the middle shell 1112. By engaging the protrusions 1123a on the card plate 1123 with the notch on the first heat insulation plate 1114, the relative fixation of the ash-proof bucket 1121 and the middle shell 1112 is achieved. The first heat insulation plate 1114 is made of heat insulation material to achieve heat insulation between the ash-proof bucket 1121 and the middle shell 1112, thereby preventing the middle shell 1112 from being melted.

[0076] like Figure 16As shown, in one embodiment, the housing 111 further includes a lower housing 1113, which is connected to the middle housing 1112. The lower housing 1113 has a through hole that communicates with the receiving cavity in the middle housing 1112. The housing 111 also includes a second heat insulation plate 1115 and a sensor support plate 1116. The second heat insulation plate 1115 is fixedly connected to the through hole of the lower housing 1113 and is located at one end away from the middle housing 1112. The sensor support plate 1116 is fixedly connected to the lower housing 1113, and the inner hole of the sensor support plate corresponds to the through hole. The sensor support plate 1116 is used to fix the sensor.

[0077] The second heat insulation plate 1115 is used to reduce heat conduction between the lower end of the ash-proof bucket 1121 and the lower shell 1113, preventing the heat generated by the moxa stick 600 during operation from melting the lower shell 1113. Three sets of sensors are installed on the sensor support plate 1116: a distance sensor, a temperature sensor, and a laser point. The sensors can collect real-time information such as the height and temperature of the moxibustion head from the moxibustion site. The sensors are electrically connected to the control unit of the moxibustion head. The control unit can compare and correct the preset parameters with the real-time parameters detected by the sensors to achieve the effect of intelligent moxibustion.

[0078] In one embodiment, the housing 111 further includes a sensor switch 1117 connected to the lower housing 1113. The sensor switch 1117 can detect the position of the ash-separating chamber 112. The function of the sensor switch 1117 is to detect whether the combustion chamber 120 is installed in place.

[0079] like Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, the housing 111 also includes a top shell 1111, a smoke tube 1113c, a sleeve for the smoke tube 1113c, a snap button 1113a, a second spring 1113b, a limiting plate, etc. The smoke tube 1113c is fixed to the top cover, and the smoke tube 1113c is connected to the flue 1124b on the smoke chamber component 1124 mentioned above, so that the smoke generated during moxibustion can be discharged from the inner hole of the smoke tube 1113c along the flue 1124b. The limiting plate is fixed to the top shell 1111, the snap button 1113a is movably connected to the top shell 1111, the two ends of the second spring 1113b abut against the snap button 1113a and the top shell 1111 respectively, and the snap on the snap button 1113a abuts against the middle shell 1112 to restrict the movement of the middle shell 1112 relative to the top shell 1111.

[0080] A moxibustion robot includes a treatment head 100 as described above, a housing 200, and an ignition chamber 300. The ignition chamber 300 is located within the housing 200 and includes an ash collection bin 310, multiple ignition rods 320, a mounting base 330, and a motor 340. The motor 340 is fixedly connected to the ash collection bin 310, and the mounting base 330 is connected to the motor shaft of the motor 340. The multiple ignition rods 320 are fixedly connected to the mounting base 330, and the motor 340 can drive the mounting base 330 to move along the axis of the motor shaft. The mounting base serves to mount the ignition rods 320 and connect the multiple ignition rods 320 to the motor 340. By setting multiple ignition rods 320 on a single mounting base 330, the multiple ignition rods 320 can simultaneously ignite the moxa stick 600, thereby improving ignition efficiency.

[0081] In this embodiment, the protective net 122 is provided with clearance holes corresponding to the number and position of the ignition rods 320. When ignition is required, the motor 340 drives the mounting base 330 to move closer to the moxa stick 600, so that the ignition rods 320 extend from the clearance holes on the protective net 122 into the mounting cavity of the chamber 121 and come into contact with the moxa stick 600. When the ignition rods 320 are powered on, the heat on the ignition rods 320 ignites the moxa stick 600.

[0082] It should be noted that a shaking shaft 350 is also provided on the mounting base 330. The shaking shaft 350 is fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the motor 340. A baffle is provided at the upper end of the shaking shaft 350. During the burning of the moxa stick 600, in order to shake off the ash on the moxa stick 600, the motor 340 can drive the shaking shaft 350 to move back and forth, so that the baffle on the shaking shaft 350 touches the protective net 122. The protective net 122 acts on the moxa stick 600 to shake off the ash.

[0083] In one embodiment, the moxibustion robot further includes a robotic arm 400, to which a treatment head 100 is connected, and the robotic arm 400 moves the treatment head 100. In this embodiment, by connecting the treatment head 100 to the robotic arm 400, the robotic arm 400 moves the treatment head 100 to the desired moxibustion site, facilitating the moxibustion operation for the user.

[0084] The entire operation process and principle of the moxibustion robot are described below:

[0085] The moxa stick 600 is manually placed into the mounting cavity of the combustion chamber 120. The combustion chamber 120 is then installed into the housing assembly 110 connected to the robotic arm 400. The robotic arm 400 moves the therapy head 100 to the ignition chamber 300 fixed to the housing 200, aligning the moxa stick 600 with the ignition rod 320 in the ignition chamber 300. The moxa stick 600 is ignited using the ignition rod 320. After ignition, the robotic arm 400 moves the therapy head 100 to the desired moxibustion location. After a preset time, the robotic arm 400 moves the therapy head 100 to the ignition chamber 300, and the ash on the moxa stick 600 is shaken off using the ignition rod 320 inside the ignition chamber 300.

[0086] Specifically, the installation process for the combustion chamber 120 and the housing assembly 110 is as follows:

[0087] When it is necessary to install the combustion chamber 120 with the housing assembly 110, the combustion chamber 120 can be pushed upwards from the lower side of the moxibustion therapy head 100 along the axis of the ash-separating chamber 112 until the three limiting blocks 1125 lock the lower edge of the combustion chamber 120. It should be noted that when pushing the combustion chamber 120 upwards, the limiting groove 1211 on the combustion chamber 120 should be aligned with the marking on the outer shell. In this way, when the combustion chamber 120 is pushed into the ash-separating chamber 112, it will engage with the limiting protrusion inside its ash-separating bucket 1121, thereby preventing the combustion chamber 120 from rotating relative to the ash-separating chamber 112. If the two are not aligned, the combustion chamber 120 will not be able to be installed into the ash-separating chamber, and the limiting blocks 1125 will not be able to abut against the bottom of the combustion chamber 120. Because the limiting block 1125 is a wedge-shaped inverted structure and is connected to the spring piece 1122, when the combustion chamber 120 is pushed upward, the limiting block 1125 will be pushed outward until it reaches the top. Under the action of the spring piece 1122, the limiting block 1125 will rebound and lock the bottom of the combustion chamber 120.

[0088] In addition to the manual installation process described above, the combustion chamber 120 can also be installed automatically using a dedicated disassembly fixture 500 and a robotic arm 400. Specifically, the operator places the combustion chamber 120 on the dedicated disassembly fixture 500, and the robotic arm 400 can start a preset program to automatically press down, similar to manual loading, pushing the combustion chamber 120 up until the installation is complete.

[0089] Before moxibustion therapy, the moxa stick 600 needs to be lit. Traditional ignition methods use an open flame igniter, which is inefficient and poses safety risks. This application uses an ignition rod 320 to ignite the moxa stick 600, eliminating the need for human contact, resulting in high efficiency and safety. For ignition, simply insert the moxibustion therapy head 100 into the ignition and ash removal chamber. The three clearance holes on the protective mesh 122 in the combustion chamber 120 allow the ignition rod 320 to pass through and contact the moxa stick 600. Once in contact, power is supplied to the ignition rod 320, generating high temperature to ignite the moxa stick 600. It should be noted that the clearance holes on the protective mesh 122 are not strictly necessary; heating through the mesh 122 is also sufficient to ignite the moxa stick 600. The clearance holes on the protective mesh 122 enhance ignition efficiency.

[0090] After a period of moxibustion, ash will be produced at the combustion end of the moxa stick 600, affecting the heat transfer and therapeutic effect. The ash needs to be removed. Traditionally, this is done manually by shaking off the ash. This application utilizes a motor 340 to generate an up-and-down shaking effect for ash removal. Specifically, when ash removal is required, the moxibustion therapy head 100 is inserted into the ignition and ash removal chamber in the same ignition position. At this time, the built-in program will activate, and the ash-shaking motor 340 will extend and retract vertically, causing the ash-shaking shaft 350 to shake up and down. The baffle at the front end of the ash-shaking shaft 350 will push the protective net 122 in the combustion chamber 120 to move up and down along the ash-shaking shaft 350, thereby shaking off the ash at the combustion end of the moxa stick 600. The first spring 125 in the combustion chamber 120 generates a downward thrust, causing the protective net 122 to fall quickly. The weight of the protective net 122 itself and the weight of the moxa stick 600 also force the protective net 122 to fall. Adding the first spring 125 improves the effect.

[0091] After the moxibustion therapy is completed, the moxa sticks 600 inside the combustion chamber 120 may not have completely burned out. At this point, the combustion chamber 120 needs to be removed, and the burning moxa sticks 600 need to be extinguished. The disassembly of the combustion chamber 120 can be done manually or automatically.

[0092] When disassembling manually, the disassembly part 130 is required. This disassembly part 130 is independent and similar to the disassembly jig 500 placed on the box 200. It is thin-walled cylindrical. Simply push the disassembly part 130 upward from the lower side of the moxibustion therapy head 100 along the axis of the ash-separating chamber 112. Because the diameter of this thin-walled part is larger than the diameter of the combustion chamber 120, the limiting block 1125 will be pushed outward. At this time, the combustion chamber 120 will fall into the disassembly part 130 under its own weight. Then, the disassembly part 130 can be taken out downward.

[0093] The automatic disassembly process requires the use of a disassembly fixture 500 on the housing 200. This fixture has three thin-walled protrusions. Using a built-in program, the three limiting blocks 1125 inside the moxibustion therapy head 100 are aligned with these protrusions. Then, driven by the robotic arm 400, the fixture is pressed down, causing the protrusions to push the limiting blocks 1125 outwards (similar to manual disassembly). The combustion chamber 120 then falls into the disassembly fixture 500 under gravity. It should be noted that the disassembly fixture 500 is detachably mounted on the housing 200 and can also be used for manual disassembly, requiring only proper alignment.

[0094] After removing the combustion chamber 120, the moxa sticks 600 inside are still burning and need to be extinguished immediately to prevent the smoke from spreading. This application uses an air-isolation extinguishing method; simply placing the fire extinguisher cap on the disassembly fixture 500 is sufficient.

For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described.
