Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and specifically relates to a moxa stick positioning and propulsion device. Background Art

[0002] Tinnitus refers to the subjective feeling of hearing sounds in the patient's own ears or brain when there is no corresponding sound source stimulation from the outside world. Patients can subjectively feel various types of noises such as cicada sounds, buzzing sounds, and pulse sounds. It is estimated that about 14% of the world's population suffers from tinnitus, of which more than 2% suffer from severe tinnitus. Some patients with severe tinnitus are often accompanied by symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, decreased attention and cognitive dysfunction. Both physical and mental health are seriously disturbed. It is one of the diseases that have a long-term impact on the quality of life of the population. The pathogenesis of tinnitus is related to factors such as blocked qi and blood in the ear, blocked meridians, blocked orifices, and blocked meridians. Moxibustion can use warm stimulation and conduction through meridians to regulate qi and blood, promote meridian circulation, and strengthen the body and eliminate evil. The heat of moxibustion acts on specific acupuncture points around the ear, which can improve the microcirculation of the inner ear and promote drug absorption. Therefore, moxibustion is a technical method that is very suitable for the treatment of tinnitus.

[0003] However, when moxibustion is currently used clinically to treat acupuncture points near the patient's ear, there is a lack of a device specifically used to control the relative position relationship between the burning end of the moxa stick and the patient's acupuncture points. The burning moxa stick needs to be held manually to perform moxibustion on the patient, which inevitably leads to continuous changes in the spatial position of the burning end of the moxa stick, and there is a risk of scalding the patient.

[0004] Therefore, a device is designed that can provide a channel for the moxa stick to move in a direction and push the moxa stick to the patient's acupuncture points at a uniform speed in the channel. This device is specifically a moxa stick positioning and propulsion device. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the problems raised in the background technology, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A moxa stick positioning and propulsion device comprises: at least two rotating members, the rotating members are distributed in a circular array around a propulsion axis, the shortest distance from the surface of each rotating member to the propulsion axis is the same, at least one rotating member is pivotally connected to a driving member; a housing, the rotating member is rotatably arranged inside the housing, the driving member is connected to the inside of the housing, the housing is penetrated by a propulsion channel, and the propulsion channel is coaxial with the propulsion axis; a positioning hoop, which is elastic; a connecting member, the connecting member is connected to the positioning hoop, and the connecting member is connected to the housing. When the moxa stick is placed into the propulsion channel along the propulsion axis, it will contact and squeeze with each rotating member, and when the driving member drives the rotating member to rotate, the moxa stick moves outward at a uniform speed along the propulsion channel under the extrusion and push of the rotating member.

[0006] Furthermore, an interception cover is included, the interception cover is connected to the shell and blocks one end of the push channel, and the interception cover is provided with mesh holes along the axial direction of the push channel. When in use, the burning end of the moxa stick extends into the push channel and moves toward the mesh holes, and the setting of the mesh holes can intercept the burning end of the moxa stick from contacting the patient without affecting the heat dissipation of the moxa stick to the patient's acupuncture points, and the total area of ​​the mesh holes is smaller than the area of ​​the axial cross section of the push channel.

[0007] Furthermore, a discharge channel is provided at the lower end of the interception cover, and the number of the discharge channels is at least one. When the interception cover is connected to the shell, the discharge channel is connected to the push channel. When the burning ashes of the moxa stick accumulate between the push channel and the interception cover, they will first accumulate at the lower end of the interception cover under the action of gravity. At this time, the ashes can be separated from the interception cover through the discharge channel, thereby preventing the burning ashes of the moxa stick from clogging the mesh.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a suction structure, wherein a suction cavity is provided inside the suction structure, and a plurality of discharge pipes are plugged in parallel to the suction structure, wherein the discharge pipes are connected to the discharge channels one by one, the discharge pipes are communicated with the suction cavity, and the discharge pipes are communicated with the discharge channels; the suction structure is also provided with an air inlet channel, wherein the axial direction of the air inlet channel and the plugging direction of the discharge pipe form an angle, and the angle is an acute angle. By providing a plurality of connecting pipes connecting the suction structure and the discharge channel, a plurality of discharge channels can be brought together, and then by providing an air inlet channel facing the plugging direction of the discharge pipe, when the airflow enters the suction cavity through the air inlet channel, the fluid in the discharge pipe can be drawn into the suction cavity.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper end of the interception cover is provided with an injection channel, and the end of the injection channel away from the interception cover is provided with a liquid storage chamber, and a liquid storage piston and an elastic member are provided in the liquid storage chamber, and the elastic member drives the liquid storage piston away from the injection channel, and when the liquid storage piston overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member and moves toward the injection channel, the liquid in the liquid storage piston enters the interception cover through the injection channel. The liquid storage chamber is connected with the injection channel, and the liquid storage chamber is connected with the outside, and the liquid storage piston can reciprocate in the liquid storage chamber along the axial direction of the liquid storage chamber, and the liquid used to extinguish the moxa stick is stored in the liquid storage piston.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning hoop is provided with a plurality of threaded holes, each of which is provided with a bolt, and a clamping piece is provided at one end of the bolt in the axial direction, and the length of the clamping piece in the radial direction of the bolt is greater than the diameter of the threaded hole, and when the bolt moves into the threaded hole, the clamping piece clamps the connecting piece. By adjusting the insertion depth of the bolt into the threaded hole, the vertical spacing between the clamping piece and the outer wall of the positioning hoop can be adjusted.

[0011] Furthermore, a connecting hole is provided through the connecting member, the diameter of the connecting hole is larger than the diameter of the bolt, and the diameter of the connecting hole is smaller than the diameter of the clamping plate. When the connecting hole is sleeved on the bolt and the clamping plate does not clamp the connecting member, the connecting member can rotate around the bolt.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting piece can be bent. The connecting piece can rotate around the bolt to adjust the approximate distance between the housing and the patient's acupuncture point. When the approximate position is determined, the bolt is tightened so that the pressing sheet firmly presses the connecting piece against the outer wall of the positioning hoop, and then the specific direction of the pushing channel is adjusted by bending the connecting piece. This arrangement also helps the connecting piece bypass the organs outside the head such as the patient's ears, and prevents interference from the patient's organs when adjusting the correspondence between the pushing channel and the acupuncture point.

[0013] Furthermore, a turbofan and a motor are provided in the air intake passage. When the motor drives the turbofan to rotate, air pressure is generated in the air intake passage, so that negative pressure is formed in the exhaust pipe and the exhaust passage, so that the dust accumulated in the interception cover can be extracted through the exhaust pipe.

[0014] Furthermore, the connecting hole is a circular hole or an oblong hole.

[0015] Beneficial effects of the present invention: 1. By setting a shell with a push channel, a channel for constraining the movement direction of the moxa stick is provided; by setting a rotating member pivotally connected to a driving member, the moxa stick is continuously pushed through the push channel after entering the push channel; by setting an elastic positioning hoop, a positioning basis can be provided for the push channel on the head of patients with different body shapes, and on this basis, a connecting member that can connect the shell and the positioning hoop is set, so that the push channel can be conveniently adjusted in space with respect to the positioning hoop. Through the above-mentioned settings, the method of medical staff holding the moxa stick can be replaced, and the acupuncture points near the patient's ear can be continuously and stably moxibustioned. The push channel will not produce uncontrollable tremors like human hands, which is conducive to the precise alignment of the burning end of the moxa stick with the patient's acupuncture points, and has excellent practical effects during the treatment process.

[0016] 2. By setting up an interception cover with a mesh, it can be ensured that the burning end of the moxa stick will never come into contact with the patient's skin; the connecting piece can be bent, which is conducive to accurately adjusting the distance between the interception cover and the patient's body surface. Medical staff can adjust the interception cover to the appropriate position according to the patient's experience, so that the patient can get a better treatment experience.

[0017] 3. By setting up a suction structure, the ashes produced by the burning of the moxa stick can be continuously drawn out of the interception cover from the discharge channel, which can prevent the ashes from clogging the mesh holes while ensuring that the burning end of the moxa stick is in full contact with the air, so that the moxibustion temperature is always relatively constant during the treatment process, thereby enhancing the treatment effect.

[0018] 4. By providing a liquid storage chamber with a liquid storage piston and an elastic part and connected to the interception cover, medical staff or patients can inject liquid into the interception cover by pressing the liquid storage piston, thereby instantly interrupting the burning of the moxa stick. When the liquid flows to the suction structure through the discharge pipe, it will continue to cool the interception cover and the moxa stick, thereby preventing scalding accidents.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below through specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific implementation methods. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] A moxa stick positioning and propulsion device, such as Figure 1-9 As shown, it includes: rotating members 1, the number is at least two, the rotating members 1 are distributed in a circular array around a driving axis, the shortest distance from the surface of each rotating member 1 to the driving axis is the same, at least one rotating member 1 is pivotally connected to a driving member 2; a shell 3, the rotating member 1 is rotatably arranged inside the shell 3, the driving member 2 is connected to the inside of the shell 3, a driving channel 31 is penetrated by the shell 3, and the driving channel 31 is coaxial with the driving axis; a positioning hoop 4 is elastic; a connecting member 5, the connecting member 5 is connected to the positioning hoop 4, and the connecting member 5 is connected to the shell 3. When the moxa stick is placed into the pushing channel 31 along the pushing axis, it will contact and squeeze with each rotating member 1. When the driving member 2 drives the rotating member 1 to rotate, the moxa stick moves outward at a uniform speed along the pushing channel 31 under the squeezing and pushing of the rotating member 1. The positioning hoop 4 can be put on the patient's head. The elasticity of the positioning hoop 4 enables it to adapt to patients of various ages and different body shapes. By setting a connecting member 5 connecting the positioning hoop 4 and the shell 3, the spatial position relationship of the pushing channel 31 relative to the patient's head can be adjusted and fixed, so that the relative position relationship between the pushing channel 31 and different acupuncture points on the patient's head can be controlled by adjusting the connection state of the connecting member 5 and the positioning hoop 4, so that the pushing channel 31 can point the moxa stick to different acupuncture points on the patient's head. The rotating member 1 is specifically a flexible shaft or a rotating wheel that can be bent, and the driving member 2 is a spring or a micro motor 732. At least one rotating member 1 rotates around the axis under the drive of the driving member 2, and the remaining rotating members 1 rotate when the rotating member 1 connected to the driving member 2 pushes the moxa stick through. The driven rotating member 1 assists the moxa stick to pass through the pushing channel 31 and is mainly used to reduce the friction resistance when the moxa stick moves.

[0022] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1-9As shown, the invention also includes an interception cover 6, which is connected to the housing 3 and blocks one end of the push channel 31. The interception cover 6 is provided with a mesh 61 along the axial direction of the push channel 31. When in use, the burning end of the moxa stick extends into the push channel 31 and moves toward the mesh 61. The setting of the mesh 61 can intercept the burning end of the moxa stick from contacting the patient without affecting the heat dissipation of the moxa stick to the patient's acupuncture points. The total area of ​​the mesh 61 is smaller than the area of ​​the axial section of the push channel 31. Specifically, the interception cover 6 provided with the mesh 61 can be made of insulating ceramics or metal with an insulating layer. This setting prevents the heat insulation cover from accumulating heat quickly to prevent the heat insulation cover from contacting the patient's body surface, and is conducive to the heat being discharged outward through the mesh 61 in a more concentrated manner, reducing the loss of heat during the transfer process.

[0023] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1-9 As shown, the lower end of the interception cover 6 is provided with a discharge channel 62, and the number of the discharge channel 62 is at least one. When the interception cover 6 is connected to the housing 3, the discharge channel 62 is communicated with the push channel 31. When the burning ash of the moxa stick accumulates between the push channel 31 and the interception cover 6, it will first accumulate at the lower end of the interception cover 6 under the action of gravity. At this time, the ash can be separated from the interception cover 6 through the discharge channel 62, thereby preventing the burning ash of the moxa stick from clogging the mesh 61.

[0024] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1-9 As shown, the suction structure 7 also includes a suction chamber 71, a plurality of discharge pipes 72 are connected in parallel to the suction structure 7, the discharge pipes 72 are connected to the discharge channels 62 one by one, the discharge pipes 72 are connected to the suction chamber 71, and the discharge pipes 72 are connected to the discharge channels 62; the suction structure 7 is also provided with an air inlet channel 73, and the axial direction of the air inlet channel 73 and the plug-in direction of the discharge pipe 72 have an angle, and the angle is an acute angle. By providing a plurality of connecting pipes connecting the suction structure 7 and the discharge channels 62, a plurality of discharge channels 62 can be collected, and then by providing an air inlet channel 73 facing the plug-in direction of the discharge pipe 72, when the airflow enters the suction chamber 71 through the air inlet channel 73, the fluid in the discharge pipe 72 can be drawn into the suction chamber 71, thereby forming a negative pressure that pulls the ash in the push channel and the discharge channel 62 into the suction structure 7, which is conducive to preventing the ash from stacking and depositing near the mesh 61.

[0025] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1-9As shown, an injection channel 63 is provided at the upper end of the interception cover 6, and a liquid storage chamber 64 is provided at the end of the injection channel 63 away from the interception cover 6. A liquid storage piston 641 and an elastic member 642 are provided in the liquid storage chamber 64. The elastic member 642 drives the liquid storage piston 641 to move away from the injection channel 63. When the liquid storage piston 641 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member 642 and moves toward the injection channel 63, the liquid in the liquid storage piston 641 enters the interception cover 6 through the injection channel 63. The liquid storage chamber 64 is connected with the injection channel 63, and the liquid storage chamber 64 is connected with the outside. The liquid storage piston 641 can reciprocate in the liquid storage chamber 64 along the axial direction of the liquid storage chamber 64, and the liquid used to extinguish the moxa stick is stored in the liquid storage piston 641; under normal circumstances, the liquid storage piston 641 is maintained at one end of the liquid storage chamber 64 away from the injection channel 63 under the drive of the elastic member 642. When the liquid storage piston 641 moves to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 642 under the action of external force, the liquid storage piston 641 is connected with the injection channel 63 and allows the liquid to enter the interception cover 6 under the action of gravity, which can immediately block the heat dissipation of the moxa stick, and with the help of the suction structure 7, the residual heat at the burning end of the moxa stick can be quickly extracted from the discharge channel 62.

[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1-9 As shown, the positioning hoop 4 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes 41, each threaded hole 41 is provided with a bolt 42, and a compression piece 421 is provided at one end of the bolt 42 in the axial direction. The length of the compression piece 421 in the radial direction of the bolt 42 is greater than the diameter of the threaded hole 41. When the bolt 42 moves into the threaded hole 41, the compression piece 421 compresses the connector 5. By adjusting the entry depth of the bolt 42 into the threaded hole 41, the vertical spacing between the compression piece 421 and the outer wall of the positioning hoop 4 can be adjusted; shortening the distance between the compression piece 421 and the positioning hoop 4 can compress the connector 5 on the surface of the positioning hoop 4, so that the positional relationship between the connector 5 and the positioning hoop 4 is fixed; increasing the distance between the compression piece 421 and the positioning hoop 4 can make the connector 5 loose from the surface of the positioning hoop 4, which is conducive to the medical staff to adjust the relative positional relationship between the connector 5 and the positioning hoop 4. The axial length of the bolt 42 is less than the thickness of the positioning hoop 4, so as to prevent the bolt 42 from penetrating the positioning hoop 4 and injuring the patient's head.

[0027] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1-9As shown, a connecting hole 51 is provided through the connecting member 5, the diameter of the connecting hole 51 is larger than the diameter of the bolt 42, and the diameter of the connecting hole 51 is smaller than the diameter of the pressing plate 421. When the connecting hole 51 is sleeved on the bolt 42 and the pressing plate 421 does not press the connecting member 5, the connecting member 5 can rotate around the bolt 42, and the connecting hole 51 is a round hole or an oblong hole. Specifically, the connecting member 5 is a filament made of nickel-iron alloy or aluminum alloy, and the connecting hole 51 is a long waist hole wound by the filament. The advantage of this method is that it has a certain structural strength, and the user can bend the connecting member 5 into a variety of shapes after the connecting member 5 is tightly connected to the positioning hoop 4, so that the relative position relationship between one end of the connecting member 5 connected to the housing 3 and the positioning hoop 4 can be arbitrarily changed, and then the threaded holes 41 and bolts 42 at different positions on the positioning hoop 4 can be coordinated to point the push channel 31 to various acupuncture points on the patient's head. Alternatively, the connecting member 5 is a universal tube with a diameter less than 5 mm, and the connecting hole 51 is a long waist hole formed by the universal tube. The universal tube can be bent and will not deform under the action of its own gravity and the gravity of the shell 3 loaded with moxa sticks. The advantage of this method over metal wire is that after multiple bending and deformation, it will not be damaged due to reaching the fatigue limit like metal wire, and therefore has a longer service life.

[0028] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1-9 As shown, the connecting member 5 can be bent. The connecting member 5 can rotate around the bolt 42 to adjust the approximate distance between the housing 3 and the patient's acupuncture point. When the approximate position is determined, the bolt 42 is tightened so that the pressing sheet 421 firmly presses the connecting member 5 on the outer wall of the positioning hoop 4, and then the specific direction of the pushing channel 31 is adjusted by bending the connecting member 5. This setting also helps the connecting member 5 bypass the organs outside the head such as the patient's ears, and prevents interference from the patient's organs when adjusting the correspondence between the pushing channel 31 and the acupuncture point.

[0029] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1-9 As shown, a turbofan 731 and a motor 732 are provided in the air inlet passage 73. When the motor 732 drives the turbofan 731 to rotate, air pressure is generated in the air inlet passage 73, so that negative pressure is formed in the discharge pipe 72 and the discharge passage, so that the dust accumulated in the interception cover 6 can be drawn out through the discharge pipe 72. Alternatively, the air inlet passage 73 is connected to an air pump, and the air pump provides suction power for the suction chamber 71.
