Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation equipment, and in particular to a therapeutic fumigation device. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, fumigation therapy of traditional Chinese medicine is a common auxiliary treatment method. Various steam generating mechanisms are usually used to process the medicinal liquid to generate medicinal liquid vapor with a certain temperature, and the affected area is placed within the range of action of the medicinal liquid vapor to achieve the technical effect of fumigation therapy.

[0003] In existing practice, since the vapor of the liquid medicine escapes vertically upward, the affected part is generally placed above the liquid medicine for fumigation. There are some technical defects in this. For patients whose affected parts are in a tricky position and whose movement and support abilities are reduced due to injuries, it is difficult to move and support the affected part above the liquid medicine. Therefore, there are some new equipments with various structural components for restraining steam, such as steam fumigation barrels and other equipments. When the patient puts the whole limb into the fumigation barrel, the steam fills the whole barrel to fumigate the affected part, and there is no need to find the fumigation angle separately. Similar components include sleeves mounted on the limbs and large equipment for the whole body to enter.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned devices generally use large, high-cost and irreplaceable steam restraint components, which have the technical problem of being easily contaminated and are relatively cumbersome to clean. In particular, when fumigating with traditional Chinese medicine liquid, the essential oils, lipids and sugar substances contained in them accumulate in the gaps of the structure, and it is difficult to have perfect sterile conditions inside after long-term use.

[0031] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below, but it should be understood that the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific implementation. Based on the embodiments of 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.

[0032] A therapeutic fumigation device provided by the present invention comprises: a steam generating mechanism, a flexible shell 2, an interface pipe 3, a pressure relief pipe 4, etc., wherein the steam generating mechanism has an air outlet pipe 1 for generating medicinal liquid vapor and delivering it from the air outlet pipe 1; one side of the flexible shell 2 is open, and an interlayer chamber 21 is opened in the wall of the flexible shell 2, and the interlayer chamber 21 is opened on the inner side surface of the flexible shell 2 facing the opening, and a plurality of escape ports 22 are opened, which are used to escape the medicinal liquid vapor from the escape ports 22 into the interior of the flexible shell 2; one end of the interface pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the flexible shell 2 and communicated with the interlayer chamber 21, and the other end of the interface pipe 3 is detachably connected to the air outlet pipe 1; the pressure relief pipe 4 is embedded in the flexible shell 2, one end of the pressure relief pipe 4 faces the opening side of the flexible shell 2 and communicates with the interior of the flexible shell 2, and the other end faces away from the opening side of the flexible shell 2 and communicates with the outside, and a pressure relief valve 41 is provided in the pressure relief pipe 4.

[0033] Specifically, when in use, the interface tube 3 is connected to the air outlet pipe 1 of the steam generating mechanism, the opening of the flexible shell 2 is directed toward the human body, and the flexible shell 2 is buckled to the area on the human body surface to be fumigated, ensuring that the outer edge of the outer wall of the flexible shell 2 fits the surface of the human body, so that the human body surface completely blocks the opening of the flexible shell 2. At this time, the steam generating mechanism is started, so that the steam generated by the evaporation of the liquid medicine enters the interlayer chamber 11 through the air outlet pipe 1 and the interface tube 3, and the steam entering the interlayer chamber 11 gradually escapes from the escape port 22 toward the surface of the human body, thereby achieving the basic technical effect of fumigation therapy. As the steam gradually enters between the flexible shell 2 and the human body, it will cause the liquid medicine to evaporate and enter the interlayer chamber 11 through the air outlet pipe 1 and the interface tube 3. The air pressure in the shell 2 gradually increases. In order to prevent the high air pressure from causing the steam to escape outward from the part of the flexible shell 2 that contacts the human body, thereby destroying the constraint of the flexible shell 2 on the action range of the steam, a pressure relief pipe 4 and a pressure relief valve 41 are arranged on the flexible shell 2. When the air pressure is high, part of the steam is discharged outward from the pressure relief pipe 4 through the pressure relief valve 41, thereby maintaining normal air pressure without destroying the constraint of the flexible shell 2 on the steam. After the fumigation is completed, the interface pipe 3 and the air outlet pipe 1 are disassembled, and the used flexible shell 2 and its accessory structural components are discarded. When a new fumigation treatment is carried out, a new flexible shell 2 and its accessory structural components can be replaced.

Through this series of settings, the present invention can provide a steam range constraint effect to fumigate the treatment area, while achieving a one-time setting of the equipment, thereby overcoming the defects of the prior art of using large, high-cost and irreplaceable steam constraint equipment that is easily contaminated and requires cumbersome cleaning.

[0040] The column 411, one end of which is open to the flexible shell 2, is slidably connected to the pressure relief pipe 4. A first channel parallel to the column 411 is opened inside the column 411. The first channel has an air inlet at one end of the column 411 located in the pressure relief pipe 4. A second channel parallel to the first channel is opened inside the main body. The second channel runs through the column 411 and an air outlet pipe 1 is opened on the side wall of the column 411. The second channel is connected to the first channel.

[0041] The limiting plate 412 is fixedly connected to one end of the column 411 away from the opening of the flexible shell 2 .

[0042] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0043] The isolation sleeve 6 has a first entrance opening on the flexible shell 2, and a second entrance opening is opened on one side of the isolation sleeve 6.
