Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of moxibustion instruments, and in particular relates to a suspended moxibustion device. Background Art
[0002] Suspended moxibustion originally refers to suspended moxibustion, a traditional Chinese medicine external treatment technique that is performed in mid-air without the aid of any moxibustion device. With the development of the moxibustion industry, the moxibustion device that suspends the moxibustion material so that its ignition point is kept at a certain distance from the human skin is now often called suspended moxibustion. Moxibustion with the aid of a moxibustion device can not only play a good protective role, preventing the ignition point from burning the human body or the moxa ash from falling and scalding the human body, but also greatly reduces the difficulty of moxibustion, allowing ordinary people to perform self-moxibustion.
[0003] Current moxibustion auxiliary devices are usually equipped with exhaust fans for the convenience of smoke exhaust. Although they can remove the smoke generated during the moxibustion process in time, although the smoke is removed, some heat will also be removed. The heat concentration emitted from the moxibustion head is limited, and it needs to be very close to the patient to exert the corresponding therapeutic effect. In addition, there is currently no temperature monitoring method in the moxibustion head, which depends entirely on the doctor's experience. The moxibustion head needs to be as close to the patient as possible, and at the same time, it must be ensured that the patient can tolerate it. It requires a long time of debugging by senior doctors, which is quite restrictive.
[0004] Based on this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a suspended moxibustion device to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0006] A suspended moxibustion device comprises a chassis, a suspended moxibustion head, and a connecting rod mechanism for connecting the chassis and the suspended moxibustion head. The suspended moxibustion head comprises an outer tube, a filter installed at one end of the outer tube, and a cover installed at the other end of the outer tube. A moxa stick is arranged inside the outer tube. A temperature sensor and a megasonic vibrator for applying megasonic vibration to the moxa stick in the outer tube are also arranged inside the outer tube.
[0007] As a further improvement, the moxa stick includes a stick core, a moxa filling layer that completely wraps the stick core, and a packaging paper sleeve that is sleeved on the outside of the moxa filling layer.
[0008] As a further improvement, the method for preparing the column core comprises the following steps:
[0009] Step 1, soak the moxa sticks made of moxa wrapped with mulberry paper in a glycerol solution of potassium nitrate, remove them and drain them;
[0010] Step 2: Use a spray bottle to spray a layer of sodium silicate solution on the surface of the drained moxa stick;
[0011] Step 3: drying in the sun to obtain the column core.
[0012] As a further improvement, the method for preparing the packaging paper sleeve comprises the following steps:
[0013] Step 1, soak the mulberry paper in glycerin, remove it and drain it;
[0014] Step 2: Use a spray bottle to spray a layer of sodium silicate solution on the surface of the drained mulberry paper;
[0015] Step 3: drying in the sun and cutting to obtain the wrapping paper cover.
[0016] As a further improvement, the mass fraction of potassium nitrate in the potassium nitrate glycerol solution is 3.7-3.9%.
[0017] In a further improvement, the mass fraction of the sodium silicate solution is 0.2%.
[0018] As a further improvement, the megasonic frequency of the megasonic vibrator is 2.8 MHz.
[0019] As a further improvement, rollers are installed at the bottom of the chassis.
[0020] A further improvement also includes an exhaust fan and a corrugated hose, one end of the corrugated hose is connected to the inner cavity of the outer cylinder, and the other end of the corrugated hose is connected to the exhaust fan.
[0021] As a further improvement, the temperature sensor is a thermocouple temperature sensor.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] 1. The suspended moxibustion device of the present invention can monitor the temperature inside the suspended moxibustion head in real time by adding a temperature sensor, thereby facilitating the physician to adjust the degree of moxibustion.
[0024] 2. The suspended moxibustion device of the present invention has multiple options. By optimizing the formula and structure of the existing moxa sticks, the moxa smoke has a high degree of condensation during combustion, and the heat is not easy to dissipate, which helps to improve the moxibustion effect. There are fewer harmful components in the smoke during combustion, and the burning speed of the moxa sticks is slow, which can effectively improve the use effect of the moxa sticks.
[0025] 3. The megasonic vibrator can be set to assist the burning and temperature control of moxa sticks.
[0026] 4. By installing an exhaust fan and a corrugated hose, the smoke at the moxibustion site can be completely exhausted to achieve a smoke-free environment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] Example 1
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the suspended moxibustion device includes a chassis 10, a suspended moxibustion head 20, and a connecting rod mechanism 11 for connecting the chassis 10 and the suspended moxibustion head 20. The suspended moxibustion head 20 includes an outer tube, a filter installed at one end of the outer tube, and a cover installed at the other end of the outer tube. A moxa stick is arranged inside the outer tube.
[0036] In this embodiment, the connecting rod mechanism 11 can be a common four-bar connecting rod, or it can refer to the "cantilever" in the "a clamping cantilever, rotating mechanism and automatic moxibustion instrument" disclosed in the publication (announcement) number CN221932559U, and its function is to facilitate the adjustment of the height and position of the suspended moxibustion head 20.
[0037] When the moxibustion device is used, the cover is opened first, the moxa stick is lit and installed, the cover is closed, and then the appropriate position of the moxibustion head 20 is adjusted by pulling the moxibustion head 20 so that the moxibustion head 20 can fit the patient better. The filter is preferably a stainless steel filter to prevent the sparks of the burning moxa stick from falling on the patient's skin.
[0038] Example 2
[0039] Based on Example 1, Figure 2 As shown, the moxa stick includes a stick core 51 , a moxa filling layer 52 completely wrapping the stick core 51 , and a packaging paper sleeve 53 sleeved on the outside of the moxa filling layer 52 .
[0040] The preparation method of the column core 51 comprises the following steps:
[0041] Step 1: soaking moxa sticks made of moxa wrapped with mulberry paper in a glycerol solution of potassium nitrate, taking them out, and draining them; the mass fraction of potassium nitrate in the glycerol solution of potassium nitrate is 3.7-3.9%.
[0042] Step 2: Use a spray pot to spray a layer of misty sodium silicate solution on the surface of the drained moxa stick; the mass fraction of the sodium silicate solution is 0.2%.
[0043] Step 3: drying in the sun to obtain the column core 51.
[0044] The method for preparing the packaging paper sleeve 53 comprises the following steps:
[0045] Step 1, soak the mulberry paper in glycerin, remove it and drain it;
[0046] Step 2: Use a spray bottle to spray a layer of sodium silicate solution on the surface of the drained mulberry paper;
[0047] Step 3: drying and cutting to obtain the packaging paper cover 53.
[0048] First, potassium nitrate can be dissolved in ethanol and glycerol, but it does not react chemically with glycerol itself. As a combustion aid, potassium nitrate can effectively improve the combustion effect inside the moxa cone.
[0049] Secondly, the moxa stick was soaked in a glycerol solution of potassium nitrate and dried. It was unexpectedly found that the hardness of the moxa stick would be significantly improved by about 36% (measured by static pressure of 500g weight for 1h and the degree of flattening). By controlling the concentration of potassium nitrate in the glycerol solution of potassium nitrate, if the concentration is too low, the potassium nitrate carried is insufficient and the combustion-supporting effect is limited; if the concentration of potassium nitrate is too high, the final column core will become very hard, the moxibustion feeling will be uneven, and it will be difficult to achieve the ideal warm penetration effect.
[0050] Since the column core 51 is relatively hard, the moxa stick can be more easily inserted into the insertion needle in the outer tube.
[0051] In addition, a temperature sensor and a megasonic vibrator for applying megasonic vibration to the moxa stick in the outer tube are also arranged inside the outer tube.
[0052] The column core 51 is relatively hard, so that the megasonic vibration can be transmitted better, and the combustion effect can be further improved by the small amplitude and high frequency megasonic vibration. If it is ultrasonic vibration, for example, the ultrasonic frequency is 20kHz, it will cause the moxa stick to burn too fast, and at the same time, a large amount of smoke will be generated, and the smoke density will increase.
[0053] In the present invention, since the mulberry paper is firstly soaked with glycerol and then sprayed with sodium silicate solution, glycerol will be miscible with water, causing sodium silicate to precipitate. By controlling the concentration (mass fraction) of the sodium silicate solution, it can form a grid-like precipitation, and then react with carbon dioxide in the air to harden, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 If it is not this kind of grid-like hardened net, but a hardened layer (such as soaking in sodium silicate solution, or directly spraying a mist-like sodium silicate solution without impregnation with glycerin), the hardened layer will not be burned, and after burning for a distance, its interior will gradually extinguish.
[0054] Smoke condensation characterization test
[0055] Insert the moxa stick into the circular rubber stopper, and then insert it into the glass tube, so that the moxa stick and the glass tube are coaxially arranged, and the moxa stick and the glass tube are placed vertically, with the upper end of the moxa stick 3cm away from the glass tube mouth; a vertical ruler is tied to the outside of the glass tube. When the moxa stick is lit, the moxa smoke will float upward. Due to the restraint of the glass tube, the moxa smoke will first form a smoke column, and after rising to a certain height, it will gradually disperse; the maximum height of the smoke column before it disperses is measured by the vertical ruler (photography method), which is h s ;h s The bigger it is, the better the condensation of the moxa smoke is. When the moxa stick is burning, the heat is more concentrated, which is particularly suitable for moxibustion.
[0056] The megasonic frequency of the megasonic oscillator is 2.8 MHz.
[0057] Example 3
[0058] To facilitate movement, rollers are installed at the bottom of the chassis 10 .
[0059] Example 4
[0060] The suspended moxibustion device further includes an exhaust fan and a corrugated hose 30. One end of the corrugated hose 30 is connected to the inner cavity of the outer tube, and the other end of the corrugated hose 30 is connected to the exhaust fan.
[0061] In some embodiments, in order to ensure a completely smoke-free environment, the exhaust fan is started to extract the smoke generated by the burning of the moxa stick through the corrugated hose 30.
[0062] Example 5
[0063] The temperature sensor is a thermocouple temperature sensor.
[0064] By timely monitoring the temperature inside the hanging moxibustion head 20, it can cooperate with the megasonic vibrator and the exhaust fan. When the temperature inside the hanging moxibustion head 20 is too low, the megasonic vibrator is started to accelerate the combustion of the moxa stick inside the hanging moxibustion head 20 and increase the temperature inside the hanging moxibustion head 20; when the temperature inside the hanging moxibustion head 20 is too high, the exhaust fan can be started to take away some heat while drawing smoke; in this way, the temperature inside the hanging moxibustion head 20 can be kept in a constant dynamic balance.
[0065] Example 6
[0066] The difference between this example and Example 1 is that, in this example, mulberry paper is replaced with cotton paper, and the rest is the same.
[0067] Example 7
[0068] The difference between this example and Example 1 is that, in this example, glycerol is replaced with ethanol, and the rest is the same.
[0069] Example 8
[0070] The only difference between this example and Example 1 is that in this example, the packaging paper sleeve 53 is replaced by the existing mulberry paper sleeve, and the rest is the same.
[0071] Example 9
[0072] The difference between this example and the first embodiment is that in this example, the column core 51 is not provided, and the rest is the same.
[0073] Example 10
[0074] The moxa stick in this example is an existing moxa stick, which is made by wrapping moxa wool with mulberry paper.
[0075] Embodiment 11
[0076] In this example, the column core 51 in the first embodiment is enlarged.
[0077] The performance of the moxa cones in Examples 1, 6 to 10 is shown in Table 1:
[0078] Table 1
[0079] <![CDATA[h s (mm)]]> <![CDATA[PM10 concentration (mg / m 3 )]]> Stable burning time (min) Example 1 53 325 125 Example 6 / / Turn off after 18 minutes Example 7 / / 43 Example 8 16 292 77 Example 9 25 571 108 Example 10 12 694 65 Embodiment 11 55 283 72
[0080] The papers commonly used for rolling moxa sticks include mulberry paper and cotton paper. The burning temperature of moxa sticks can reach 550℃ to 850℃. When measuring the stable burning time, moxa sticks / moxa cones with a diameter of 6cm and a length of 20cm are used, and the burning temperature is not lower than 580℃.
[0081] It can be seen from the above embodiments that the moxa stick of the present invention embeds a special column core 51 in the existing moxa stick and then wraps it with a special packaging paper sleeve 53, so that the smoke during combustion contains less harmful components (PM10), and the smoke condenses during combustion, so that the heat during moxibustion can be more concentrated, thereby improving the moxibustion effect; the moxa stick has a slow burning speed, which can effectively improve the use effect of the moxa stick.
[0082] Example 12
[0083] When the moxa stick in the suspended moxibustion head 20 is burning, the filter under the outer tube is opened, the megasonic frequency of the megasonic oscillator is changed, and then a tray is placed under the outer tube; within any 15-minute period of burning of the moxa stick, the mass of the moxa ash falling into the tray is measured, and the curve of the change of the moxa ash mass and the megasonic frequency is shown in FIG. Figure 4 ;
[0084] Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that the megasonic frequency of the megasonic oscillator is preferably 2.8 MHz.
[0085] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
