Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of physiotherapy devices, and in particular to a multifunctional integrated thermosensitive moxibustion device operating head. Background Technology

[0002] Thermosensitive moxibustion uses the heat generated by burning moxa to apply heat to heat-sensitive acupoints. The heat from the moxa and the medicine provide a warm stimulus to the body, aiming to prevent and treat diseases, maintain health, and restore physical and mental well-being.

[0003] Existing thermosensitive moxibustion devices are equipped with dedicated thermosensitive moxibustion operating heads. However, the operating heads of these devices have relatively limited functionality. The ignition and ash removal functions are integrated into the main body of the device and are separate from the operating head. During use, the device is controlled to move the operating head to the ignition device on the main body of the device, and then the ignition device is activated to ignite the moxa stick inside the operating head. The device is then controlled to move the lit moxa stick to the heat therapy area, and then the medical staff manually adjusts the position for moxibustion. During the moxibustion process, if a lot of ash is produced from the moxa stick, the device needs to be controlled again to move the operating head containing the moxa stick to the ash removal component of the device to shake the ash into the ash storage area of ​​the device. Then the operating head is reset to continue moxibustion. The above operation requires repeatedly moving the operating head to the ignition and ash removal components of the device. The operation steps are cumbersome, easily distracting the medical staff and increasing their workload, resulting in poor therapeutic effects and excessive labor intensity for the medical staff.

[0004] There is currently no effective solution to the problem that the operating head of existing moxibustion devices has a relatively simple function, which makes the operation steps for ignition and ash removal cumbersome and easily distracts medical staff, resulting in poor therapeutic effects. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a multifunctional integrated thermal moxibustion device operating head to solve the problem that the existing moxibustion devices have cumbersome operating procedures for ignition and ash removal, which easily distract medical staff and lead to poor therapeutic effects.

[0006] This invention provides a multifunctional integrated thermal moxibustion device operating head, comprising: a base plate, an ignition assembly, a vibration assembly, a ventilation assembly, a sensor assembly, and a control module. The base plate has a through hole for the moxa stick to pass through. The ignition assembly includes a moxa stick guide tube and an igniter. The moxa stick guide tube is sealed and connected to the bottom of the through hole. The igniter is installed at the lower part of the moxa stick guide tube, with one end of the igniter penetrating the guide tube radially. The igniter is used to support and ignite the moxa stick. The vibration assembly includes a motor, a flexible drive shaft, an eccentric wheel, and a bottom shaft. The motor is mounted on the base plate, and one end of the bottom shaft is rotatably mounted on the moxa stick guide tube, with the axis of the bottom shaft parallel to the axis of the guide tube. The eccentric wheel is sleeved on the bottom shaft and used to drive the moxa stick guide tube to vibrate. The motor drive shaft is connected to the other end of the bottom shaft via the flexible drive shaft. The ventilation assembly includes an upper housing, a fan, and a smoke exhaust pipe. One end of the fan is sealed and connected to the smoke exhaust pipe, and the other end of the fan is sealed and connected to the upper housing. The upper housing is detachably and sealed to the top of the through hole.

[0007] In some of these embodiments, a patch temperature sensor is installed on the lower part of the outer wall of the moxibustion guide tube.

[0008] In some embodiments, the flexible drive shaft is a spring, with its two ends fixed to the motor drive shaft and the bottom shaft, respectively, to prevent the bottom shaft from failing to rotate properly due to misalignment between the motor drive shaft and the bottom shaft when the motor drive shaft rotates.

[0009] In some embodiments, multiple magnets are evenly distributed around the bottom annular surface of the upper housing, a magnetic attracting sheet is mounted on the bottom surface of the substrate, and a sealing ring is fixed to the top outer edge of the through hole. Through holes are formed on the substrate and the sealing ring, and the magnets pass through the through holes and are attracted to the magnetic attracting sheet.

[0010] In some embodiments, a lower housing is mounted on one side of the bottom of the substrate, and an aluminum ring is mounted on the bottom surface of the lower housing. Multiple high-temperature magnets are evenly distributed and mounted on the bottom surface of the aluminum ring along the circumferential direction, and the aluminum ring is attached to a dustproof mesh by the high-temperature magnets.

[0011] In some embodiments, a sensor mounting housing is mounted on one side of the bottom of the substrate, and multiple laser distance sensors and laser positioners are evenly distributed and mounted on the bottom surface of the sensor mounting housing along the circumferential direction.

[0012] In some embodiments, the operating head of the multifunctional integrated thermal moxibustion device further includes a sensor assembly, which includes a gimbal base, a gimbal ball head, a first mounting component, a second mounting component, a locking screw, and a laser temperature sensor. The gimbal base is mounted on the other side of the bottom of the base plate, the gimbal ball head is mounted on the gimbal base and can rotate omnidirectionally around the ball head, the laser temperature sensor has a mounting hole, and the laser temperature sensor is mounted in the groove of the second mounting component by a screw. The second mounting component is connected to the gimbal ball head through the first mounting component.

[0013] In some embodiments, the second mounting component is bolted to the first mounting component, and the first mounting component has a mounting nut in the middle, which is connected to the ball head bolt of the gimbal.

[0014] In some embodiments, the operating head of the multifunctional integrated thermal moxibustion device further includes a control module, which includes a power interface, a switch button, a working indicator light, a display screen, a buzzer, and a microcontroller. The microcontroller is encased in a housing, which is mounted on the other side of the top of the substrate. The power interface, switch button, working indicator light, display screen, and buzzer are all mounted on the housing.

[0015] In some embodiments, the power interface, indicator light, display screen, and buzzer are all electrically connected to the microcontroller. The switch button is used to control the opening and closing of the power interface. The display screen is used to display the temperature of the moxa stick, the temperature of the physiotherapy area, and the distance between the laser distance sensor and the physiotherapy area. The buzzer is used to sound an alarm when the laser distance sensor is too close to the human body.

[0016] This invention provides a multifunctional integrated thermosensitive moxibustion device operating head, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This invention achieves centralized and convenient operation of moxa stick ignition and ash removal functions by integrating an ignition component, a vibration component, and a ventilation component on the same substrate. By integrating multiple functions, the number of steps required to move the moxa stick is reduced, eliminating the need for medical personnel to repeatedly move the stick during operation. This helps reduce distraction and prevents the patient from becoming distracted. It solves the problem of cumbersome operation steps and high distractibility leading to poor therapeutic effects in existing moxibustion devices. Furthermore, the operating head is easily detachable and can be directly mounted on other supports, making it highly versatile.

[0018] 2. This invention installs a patch temperature sensor on the lower part of the outer wall of the moxa stick guide tube. The patch temperature sensor can monitor the temperature of the moxa stick guide tube in real time and transmit the temperature information to the control module. The control module outputs the temperature information through the display screen to monitor the burning temperature of the moxa stick and determine whether the moxa stick has burned out based on the temperature information output by the display screen. It has the effect of intelligent and convenient operation.

[0019] 3. This invention uses a laser distance sensor and a laser locator mounted on the sensor housing to perform laser positioning of the moxibustion area on the human body and control the distance between the moxa stick and the body. Laser positioning assists medical personnel in quickly positioning the operating head to the moxibustion area, avoiding measurement deviations and thus preventing inaccurate temperature measurements. The laser distance sensor monitors the distance between the moxa stick heating head and the body in real time and transmits the distance data to a microcontroller. When the distance is less than a set value, the microcontroller outputs a signal to control a buzzer to sound an alarm, achieving an intelligent reminder effect and helping to reduce operational risks.

[0020] 4. This invention utilizes a laser temperature sensor and a gimbal head mounted on a substrate. The gimbal head allows for omnidirectional rotation, enabling adjustable temperature detection via the laser temperature sensor. When using the operating head, the initial angle of the laser temperature sensor is adjusted so that it is aligned with the area to be treated with moxibustion. During moxibustion, if the temperature of the area exceeds a set value, the laser temperature sensor transmits the collected temperature data to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then outputs a signal to control a buzzer to sound an alarm, preventing the moxibustion area from overheating and reducing the risk of infection during use.

[0033] An embodiment of the present invention provides a multifunctional integrated thermal moxibustion device operating head. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 9 The operating head of the moxibustion device includes: a base plate 4, an ignition assembly, a vibration assembly, a ventilation assembly, a sensor assembly, and a control module 8.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The substrate 4 has through holes for the moxa stick 11 to pass through. The substrate 4 is the most basic material, serving as a support for other structures, used to mount multiple components together, and achieving a multi-functional integration effect. By setting the ignition component, vibration component, and exhaust component on the same substrate 4, the ignition and ash removal functions of the moxa stick are centralized and easy to use. By integrating multiple functions, the number of steps required to move the moxa stick is reduced, eliminating the need for medical staff to move the moxa stick back and forth during operation, thus reducing distraction and preventing the medical staff from becoming distracted. This solves the problem of cumbersome operation steps and easy distraction of medical staff during ignition and ash removal in existing moxibustion devices, leading to poor therapeutic effects. Furthermore, the operating head is easy to disassemble and use, and can be directly installed on other supports, making it highly adaptable.

[0035] In addition, please see Figure 3 The ignition assembly includes a moxa stick guide tube 13 and an igniter 16. The moxa stick guide tube 13 is a through tube open at both ends, and one end of the moxa stick 11 is inserted into either end of the moxa stick guide tube 13. The moxa stick guide tube 13 is located on the first side of the substrate 4 and seals the through hole. The igniter 16 is installed at the end of the moxa stick guide tube 13 away from the substrate 4, and one end of the igniter 16 penetrates the moxa stick guide tube 13 radially. During use, the moxa stick guide tube 13 is located on the lower side of the substrate 4, and the igniter 16 is used to support and ignite the moxa stick 11.

[0036] Preferably, the igniter 16 is a 24V powered, flameless igniter. When the moxa stick 11 is placed inside the moxa stick guide tube 13, one end of the moxa stick 11 can be blocked by the igniter 16 and kept in contact, which can ensure the contact area during ignition and prevent the moxa stick 11 from falling, thereby achieving a better ignition effect.

[0037] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4The vibration assembly includes a motor 14, a flexible transmission shaft 17, an eccentric wheel 18, and a base shaft 19. The motor 14 is a micro-motor, which consumes little power, has a low vibration amplitude, and is easy to control. The motor 14 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 4, with its outer casing fixedly mounted above the base plate 4, and its output shaft passing through the base plate 4 and extending below it. One end of the base shaft 19 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the moxibustion guide tube 13, and the axis of the base shaft 19 is parallel to the axis of the moxibustion guide tube 13. A protrusion is provided on the outer casing of the moxibustion guide tube 13, and one end of the base shaft 19 is rotatably mounted on the protrusion. The eccentric wheel 18 is sleeved on the base shaft 19 and is used to drive the moxibustion guide tube 13 to vibrate. Due to the eccentric structure of the eccentric wheel, it can vibrate along with the vibration of the base shaft 19, and due to its special structure, it can vibrate during rotation, thereby driving the moxibustion guide tube 13 to vibrate. The drive shaft of motor 14 is connected to the other end of the bottom shaft 19 via flexible transmission shaft 17.

[0038] In some embodiments, the flexible drive shaft 17 is a spring, with its two ends fixed to the drive shaft of the motor 14 and the base shaft 19, respectively. This prevents the base shaft 19 from failing to rotate properly due to misalignment between the drive shaft of the motor 14 and the base shaft 19. Because the spring has deformation and rebound capabilities, even if the drive shaft of the motor 14 is misaligned with the base shaft 19, the spring can still transmit rotational force to the base shaft 19, thus avoiding the problem of the base shaft 19 failing to rotate properly due to misalignment. Even if the motor 14 and the base shaft 19 are misaligned due to machining and assembly errors, the flexible drive shaft 17 can still transmit power effectively.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 The exhaust assembly includes an upper housing 3, a fan 2, and a smoke exhaust pipe 1. One end of the fan 2 is sealed and connected to the smoke exhaust pipe 1, and the other end of the fan 2 is sealed and connected to the upper housing 3. The upper housing 3 is located on the second side of the substrate 4 and is sealed and connected to the through hole. Preferably, the upper housing 3 and the substrate 4 are detachably connected.

[0040] The upper outer shell 3 encloses the internal space of the moxa stick 11 and the moxa stick guide tube 13. By activating the fan 2, air circulates between the exhaust pipe 1 and the upper outer shell 3, and the moxa stick ash remaining in the moxa stick guide tube 13 is discharged and collected through the exhaust pipe 1 along with the airflow. During this cleaning process, there is no need to move the operating head, solving the problem of cumbersome operation of moving devices and reduced attention required by medical staff when cleaning moxa stick ash.

[0041] Please see Figure 5In some embodiments, multiple magnets 20 are evenly distributed around the bottom circumference of the upper outer shell 3, and a magnetic attracting sheet 21 is mounted on the bottom surface of the substrate 4. The magnetic attracting sheet 21 is a metal structure that enhances the attraction with the magnets. A sealing ring 12 is fixed to the top outer edge of the through hole, and through holes are formed on the substrate 4 and the sealing ring 12, through which the magnets 20 pass and are attracted to the magnetic attracting sheet 21. The through holes facilitate quick positioning of the upper outer shell 3 and the substrate 4 by medical personnel. The sealing ring 12 is mounted on the substrate 4 to ensure a sealing effect between the substrate 4 and the upper outer shell 3, preventing smoke leakage during smoke exhaust.

[0042] In this invention, the upper outer shell 3 is tightly fitted to the top of the substrate 4 via a sealing ring 12 to achieve a sealing effect, forming a closed space between the moxibustion column guide tube 13 and the upper outer shell 3. Generally, the upper outer shell 3 is tightly fitted to the top of the substrate 4 via a sealing ring 12 using bolts or welding. This invention, however, uses the magnetic attraction of the magnet 20 and the magnetic attracting sheet 21 to achieve a sealed connection. Compared to existing connection methods, the magnetic connection method of this invention makes it easier to separate the upper outer shell 3 from the substrate 4, facilitating cleaning of the upper outer shell 3 and the interior of the moxibustion column guide tube 13, and making it easier to replace the operating head. Furthermore, it is convenient to install and effectively reduces the labor intensity of medical personnel during use.

[0043] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, a sensor mounting shell 5 is mounted on one side of the bottom of the substrate 4. The bottom surface of the sensor mounting shell 5 is evenly distributed along the circumferential direction and is equipped with a plurality of laser distance sensors 22 and laser positioners 23.

[0044] Laser distance sensor 22 and laser locator 23, mounted on sensor housing 5, perform laser positioning of the moxibustion area and control the distance between the moxa stick and the body. Laser distance sensor 22, installed inside sensor housing 5, primarily measures the distance between the moxibustion head and the skin surface, preventing accidental skin contact and injury. Laser positioning assists medical personnel in quickly positioning the head to the moxibustion area, avoiding measurement errors and inaccurate temperature readings. Laser distance sensor 22 monitors the distance between the moxa stick heating head and the body in real time and transmits the distance data to microcontroller 31. When the distance is less than a set value, microcontroller 31 outputs a signal to control buzzer 30 to sound an alarm, providing intelligent alerts and reducing operational risks.

[0045] In some embodiments, the laser locator 23 is provided in three triangular arrangements, which can emit laser light to form three red dots of an equilateral triangle on the skin surface, which helps medical staff to confirm acupoints.

[0046] Please see Figure 7 In some embodiments, a lower outer shell 6 is mounted on one side of the bottom of the substrate 4. An aluminum ring 7 is mounted on the bottom surface of the lower outer shell 6. Multiple high-temperature magnets 25 are evenly distributed and mounted on the bottom surface of the aluminum ring 7 along the circumference. The aluminum ring 7 is attracted to an anti-ash mesh 24 by the high-temperature magnets 25. The anti-ash mesh 24 is made of metal. Some of the ash from the moxa stick 11 will pass through the moxa stick guide tube 13 and fall onto the anti-ash mesh 24, preventing the ash from falling on the skin and causing injury.

[0047] High-temperature magnets are available on the market. While ordinary magnets lose their magnetism at around 100 degrees Celsius, high-temperature magnets can retain their magnetism at high temperatures. Since the combustion of Ai Zhu 11 generates a high temperature, it is more reasonable to use a high-temperature resistant magnet here.

[0048] Please see Figure 8 In some embodiments, the operating head of the multifunctional integrated thermal moxibustion device also includes a control module 8, which includes a power interface 26, a switch button 27, a working indicator light 28, a display screen 29, a buzzer 30, and a microcontroller 31. The microcontroller 31 is encased in a housing, which is mounted on the other side of the top of the substrate 4. The power interface 26, switch button 27, working indicator light 28, display screen 29, and buzzer 30 are all mounted on the housing.

[0049] Power interface 26 is the power supply interface. Switch button 27 is the electrical switch for the entire operating head; it is turned on to start operation. There are two indicator lights 28: a power indicator and a working indicator. Display screen 29 displays the operating head's working information, mainly showing treatment time, moxa stick temperature, measured temperature, distance, etc., to help medical staff understand the treatment progress. Buzzer 30 is installed inside the control unit and can emit voice reminders to medical staff regarding the current status and issue warnings. Microcontroller 31 is the main control component, capable of issuing commands and communicating with external data.

[0050] In a further embodiment, the power interface 26, the working indicator light 28, the display screen 29, and the buzzer 30 are all electrically connected to the microcontroller 31. The switch button 27 is used to control the opening and closing of the power interface 26. The display screen 29 is used to display the temperature of the moxa stick, the temperature of the physiotherapy area, and the distance between the laser distance sensor 22 and the physiotherapy area. The buzzer 30 is used to sound an alarm when the laser distance sensor 22 is too close to the human body.

[0051] Please combine Figure 8 and Figure 3 In a further embodiment, a patch temperature sensor 15 is installed on the lower part of the outer wall of the moxibustion guide tube 13.

[0052] The patch temperature sensor 15 can monitor the temperature of the moxa stick guide tube 13 in real time and transmit the temperature information to the control module 8. The control module 8 outputs the temperature information through the display screen 29 to monitor the burning temperature of the moxa stick and determine whether the moxa stick has burned out through the temperature information output by the display screen 29. It has the effect of intelligent and convenient operation.

[0053] The surface-mount temperature sensor 15 transmits the collected moxa stick temperature information to the microcontroller 31. The microcontroller 31 receives and processes the data, then outputs a signal to the display screen 29 to show the current temperature of the moxa stick. Furthermore, the moxa stick 11 remains in contact with the igniter 16 under gravity, which keeps the burning end of the moxa stick 11 at a certain height. The temperature of the moxa stick 11 is highest when it is burning and not covered with ash. When it is covered with some ash, the temperature decreases slowly but remains within a certain range. After the moxa stick 11 has finished burning, the temperature drops significantly over time. The temperature detected by the surface-mount temperature sensor 15 can be transmitted to the microcontroller 31 for data processing. The microcontroller 31 outputs an ash removal command to control the motor 14 and the fan 2 to perform ash removal operations.

[0054] Moxa cone 11 is the core drug for heat-sensitive moxibustion treatment and is placed inside the moxa cone guide tube 13.

[0055] Please see Figure 9 In some embodiments, the operating head of the multifunctional integrated thermal moxibustion device further includes a sensor assembly, comprising a gimbal base 32, a gimbal ball head 33, a first mounting member 34, a second mounting member 35, a locking screw 36, and a laser temperature sensor 10. The gimbal base 32 is mounted on the other side of the bottom of the base plate 4. The gimbal ball head 33 is mounted on the gimbal base 32 and can rotate omnidirectionally around the ball head. The gimbal ball head 33 has a locking function, which is achieved by locking the gimbal ball head 33 on the gimbal base 32 using the locking screw 36. The laser temperature sensor 10 has a mounting hole and is mounted in the groove of the second mounting member 35 by a screw. The second mounting member 35 is connected to the gimbal ball head 33 through the first mounting member 34.

[0056] In a further embodiment, the second mounting member 35 is bolted to the first mounting member 34, and a mounting nut is provided in the middle of the first mounting member 34, which is bolted to the ball head 33 of the gimbal.

[0057] By setting a laser temperature sensor 10 and a gimbal head 33 on the substrate 4, the gimbal head 33 can rotate in all directions, realizing the temperature detection function of the laser temperature sensor 10 with adjustable angle. When using the operating head, adjust the initial angle of the laser temperature sensor 10 so that it is aligned with the area to be moxibusted. During the moxibustion process, if the temperature of the moxibustion area exceeds the set value, the laser temperature sensor 10 will transmit the collected temperature data to the microcontroller. The microcontroller outputs a signal to control the buzzer 30 to sound an alarm, preventing the temperature of the moxibustion area from becoming too high and reducing the risk during use.

[0058] The workflow of the operating head is as follows:

[0059] Work process:

[0060] S1. Connect the power supply to the operating head; the power indicator light will illuminate.

[0061] S2. Open the upper outer casing 3.

[0062] S3. Place the moxa stick 11 into the moxa stick guide tube 13 and put the upper outer shell 3 back in place.

[0063] S4. Press the switch button 27 and wait for the working indicator light to light up.

[0064] S5. Adjust the distance between the operating head and the moxibustion area according to the information displayed on screen 29.

[0065] S6. Adjust the angle of the laser temperature sensor 10 to monitor the temperature of the moxibustion area in real time.

[0066] As described above, at least one embodiment of each part of the operating head of the multifunctional integrated thermal moxibustion device provided by the present invention has been described. It should be noted that the various parts of the operating head of the multifunctional integrated thermal moxibustion device can be combined using different embodiments to constitute different embodiments of the operating head of the multifunctional integrated thermal moxibustion device.

[0067] For example, in a specific overall embodiment, the multifunctional integrated thermal moxibustion device operating head consists of a smoke exhaust pipe 1, a fan 2, an upper outer shell 3, a base plate 4, a sensor mounting shell 5, a lower outer shell 6, an aluminum ring 7, a control module 8, a gimbal 9, and a laser temperature sensor 10. The smoke exhaust pipe 1 is a high-temperature resistant corrugated pipe with elasticity. One end of the fan 2 is connected to the smoke exhaust pipe 1, and the other end is connected to the upper outer shell 3, tightly sealing the smoke exhaust pipe 1 and the upper outer shell 3 to achieve the effect of removing moxa smoke. The upper outer shell 3 is a cylindrical thin-walled component, magnetically connected to the base plate 4 to ensure a sealed connection that prevents smoke leakage during exhaust and allows for easy manual opening of the upper outer shell 3. The sensor mounting shell 5 is installed below the base plate 4. The lower outer shell 6 is installed below the base plate 4. The aluminum ring 7 is installed below the lower outer shell 6. The control module 8 is the controller of the operating head and serves as the intelligent control center of the operating head. The gimbal 9 is installed below the base plate 4, and the gimbal can rotate in all directions and has a locking function. The laser temperature sensor 10 is mounted on the gimbal and can detect the temperature of the surface being measured.

[0068] like Figure 2 The external components of the operating head of the multifunctional integrated intelligent thermosensitive moxibustion device shown consist of a moxa stick 11, a sealing ring 12, a moxa stick guide tube 13, and a motor 14. The moxa stick 11 contains the core medication for thermosensitive moxibustion treatment and is placed inside the moxa stick guide tube 13. The sealing ring 12 is installed on the base plate 4 to ensure a tight seal between the base plate 4 and the upper outer shell 3, preventing smoke leakage during smoke extraction. The moxa stick guide tube 13 is the component that holds the moxa stick 11 and is installed below the base plate 4.

[0069] like Figure 3 The multifunctional integrated intelligent thermal moxibustion device shown has an ignition and ash removal structure for its operating head, consisting of a moxa stick 11, a moxa stick guide tube 13, a motor 14, a patch temperature sensor 15, and an igniter 16. The patch temperature sensor 15 is installed below the moxa stick guide tube 13 and is mainly used to monitor the temperature of the moxa stick during combustion, determining the amount of ash produced and whether the moxa stick has burned completely. The motor 14 is the drive motor for the ash removal function, providing power to the ash removal structure. The igniter 16 is a 24V flameless igniter, installed below the moxa stick guide tube 13 and passing through its center. When the moxa stick is placed inside the guide tube 13, it is blocked by the igniter 16 and remains in contact with it, ensuring both the contact area during ignition and preventing the moxa stick from falling off.

[0070] like Figure 4The ash removal structure of the multifunctional integrated intelligent thermal moxibustion device shown consists of a motor 14, a flexible transmission shaft 17, an eccentric wheel 18, and a base shaft 19. The motor 14 is the drive motor for the ash removal function, providing power to the ash removal structure. The flexible transmission shaft 17 connects the motor 14 and the base shaft 19, transmitting power. Even if the motor 14 and the base shaft 19 are not concentric due to machining or assembly errors, the flexible transmission shaft 17 can still transmit power effectively.

[0077] Work process:

[0078] 1. Connect the power supply to the operating head; the power indicator light will illuminate.

[0079] 2. Open the top cover.

[0080] 3. Place the moxa stick into the moxa cone guide tube and put the upper outer shell back in place.

[0081] 4. Press the power button and wait for the indicator light to light up.

[0082] 5. Adjust the distance between the operating head and the moxibustion area according to the information displayed on the screen.

[0083] 6. Adjust the angle of the laser temperature sensor to monitor the temperature of the moxibustion area in real time.

[0084] Working principle:

[0085] The moxa stick can be ignited by the automatic ignition of the igniter. At the same time, the moxa stick will always be in contact with the igniter under the action of gravity, and its burning area will always be at the same height. The microcontroller can determine the amount of moxa ash produced based on the data of the patch temperature sensor and the physiotherapy time, and automatically control the motor to rotate to make the ash removal structure vibrate to achieve the ash removal effect. The laser distance sensor and laser temperature sensor can monitor the distance between the operating head and the physiotherapy area and the temperature of the physiotherapy area in real time. The anti-ash net can prevent moxa ash from falling and causing burns to patients. Beneficial effects: (1) The operating head has a high degree of integration (more precise and with a wider range of application scenarios). It can be installed on the bracket for use, which is especially convenient for use in moxibustion halls with small spaces. It has strong versatility and integration. The operating head can be installed on a simple bracket for use.

[0086] (2) It has multiple functions and a high degree of integration (intelligent control, easy to read information). It can provide medical staff with more moxibustion information, reduce their workload, and improve the effect of moxibustion.

[0087] (3) Automatic ignition and automatic ash removal are integrated together (fewer operation steps, simpler and faster), reducing the workload of staff. The laser temperature sensor angle can be adjusted to accurately detect the temperature of the moxibustion area.
