Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of moxibustion, and in particular to a combined moxibustion treatment box. Background Art

[0002] Moxibustion is a treatment method that uses moxa sticks or moxa cones made of moxa leaves to stimulate the acupuncture points or specific parts of the human body, and adjusts the disordered physiological and biochemical functions of the human body by stimulating the activity of meridian qi, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and curing diseases. The traditional moxibustion method is hand-held moxibustion, that is, the moxibustion practitioner holds the ignited moxa stick and brings the moxa stick close to the patient's affected area for treatment, but this method has high labor costs; therefore, most of them currently use moxibustion boxes with quality, that is, the moxibustion practitioner puts the ignited moxa stick into the box body, and treats the patient's affected area through the heat generated at the bottom of the box body.

[0003] A Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN221787334U discloses a moxibustion box, comprising a box body, a box cover and a dust shield; the box body is open at the top and bottom, the box cover is closed on the upper opening of the box body, and the surface of the box cover is provided with a socket for inserting and fixing moxa sticks or moxa cones; the dust shield is arranged in the box body and close to the lower opening of the box body; the side wall of the box body is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes, and a screw cover is provided next to the ventilation holes; the moxibustion box also includes a temperature sensor, a single-chip computer module, a display screen and a power module; at least one temperature sensor is provided, which is arranged below the dust shield and fixed on the inner wall of the box body; the output end of the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the input end of the single-chip computer module; the output end of the single-chip computer module is electrically connected to the input end of the display screen; the power module is used to provide a working voltage.

[0004] The Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN217548529U discloses a moxibustion box, including a box body, the box body is provided with an air inlet for air to enter and a smoke exhaust hole for exhausting smoke; a shielding member, the shielding member is movably arranged in the box body, the shielding member has at least two states of a first state, a second state and a third state, in the first state, the shielding member shields part of the air inlet hole, in the second state, the shielding member completely shields the air inlet hole, and in the third state, the shielding member completely avoids the air inlet hole; a driving assembly, the driving assembly is mechanically connected to the shielding member to drive the shielding member to move; and the driving assembly is mechanically connected to the shielding member to drive the shielding member to move. According to the moxibustion box of the utility model, the air inlet area of ​​the air inlet hole can be automatically adjusted, thereby adjusting the amount of air entering the box body.

[0005] In the moxibustion box of the prior art including the above-mentioned patent, during the moxibustion process, the patient lies face down on the bed, the moxibustion box is placed on the bed and suspended above the patient's affected part, and the moxa stick is placed flat on a baffle with a gap. As the moxa stick continues to burn, the burning point at its end is also moving. The moxibustion practitioner needs to constantly adjust the position of the moxa stick so that the burning point of the moxa stick corresponds to the position of the patient's affected part in order to achieve a better treatment effect. Such operation is rather cumbersome. When the moxibustion practitioner treats multiple patients at the same time, it is difficult to adjust the position of the moxa stick in each moxibustion box in time. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a combined moxibustion treatment box to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a combined moxibustion treatment box, comprising a square box body, a top cover installed on the top of the box body, a supporting foot and a detachable baffle installed on the bottom of the box body, a sliding seat slidably installed in a horizontal direction on the top cover, two strip grooves parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding seat are provided on the top cover, a rotating wheel is installed at the position corresponding to each strip groove on the sliding seat, a vertical lifting rod is movably installed on the rotating wheel, and the top ends of the two lifting rods are fixedly connected by a rigid rod.

The inserts are isosceles triangles with the top angles facing downwards, and the intersection line of the two inserts coincides with the center line of the lifting rod.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a frame-shaped bracket is fixedly installed at a position below each strip groove inside the box body, and two sliders are slidably installed on each bracket, and a horizontal metal wire and a scraper are installed between the two sliders.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a sliding rod that penetrates the side wall of the box body is connected between the corresponding sliding blocks on the two brackets, and the two ends of the sliding rod are fixedly connected by a connecting rod; a rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the position corresponding to each sliding rod on the outer wall of the box body through a support arm, and a first connecting rod is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft, and a second connecting rod is rotatably installed on one end of the first connecting rod, and one end of the second connecting rod is rotatably matched with one end of the connecting rod.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a gear is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft, and a rack meshing with the gear is vertically slidably installed at the position corresponding to each gear on the outer wall of the box body, an inverted L-shaped rod is fixedly installed on the top of the rack, and a horizontal rod that penetrates the rigid rod and slides with the rigid rod is fixedly installed between the horizontal sections of the two L-shaped rods.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the lifting rod is a round rod, a spiral groove is opened on the circumferential surface of the lifting rod, and a ball that cooperates with the spiral groove is installed on the rotating wheel; a worm gear is fixedly provided on the rotating wheel; a horizontal shaft is rotatably installed on the sliding seat, and a worm gear meshing with the worm gear is fixedly installed on the horizontal shaft; a motor for driving the horizontal shaft is installed on the sliding seat.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the slider slides with the slide rod in a direction parallel to the metal wire, and a rubber block is connected between the slider and the slide rod; a plurality of protrusions are evenly installed on the bracket along the sliding direction of the slider, and one end of the slider fits with the protrusion.

[0015] In the above technical scheme, the present invention provides a combined moxibustion treatment box, in which the moxa stick always remains in a vertical state in the box body, that is, the bottom of the moxa stick always corresponds to the position of the patient's affected part up and down; as the moxa stick continues to burn, the patient can control the moxa stick to descend by remote control, ensuring that the distance between the bottom end of the moxa stick, that is, the burning point of the moxa stick and the affected part is relatively constant, so as to ensure the treatment effect; during the descent of the moxa stick, the metal wire will automatically cut the burned moxa stick, and the scraper will push the falling moxa stick ashes to both sides, which can prevent the moxa stick ashes from blocking the heat from the burning point of the moxa stick from propagating downward, and at the same time reduce the heat from the burning point of the moxa stick from diffusing to both sides, thereby improving the treatment effect.

[0016] In addition, the present invention only needs one power source to clean the moxa ash while controlling the moxa stick to descend, that is, the components for controlling the lifting of the moxa stick and the components for controlling the cleaning of the moxa ash are integrated, which significantly reduces the design and manufacturing costs compared to the traditional dual control system. The height of the metal wire in the present invention is constant, that is, the metal wire will cut the moxa ash only when the moxa stick descends to a predetermined height, and the degree of dispersion of the moxa ash after it falls is not high, so that the fallen moxa ash can be ensured to be within a predetermined range, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the heat diffusion from the combustion point of the moxa stick to both sides.

[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a combined moxibustion treatment box, including a square box body 1, a removable top cover 2 is installed on the top of the box body 1, supporting feet and a removable baffle 3 are installed on the bottom of the box body 1, the baffle 3 is hollow and activated carbon powder is adhered to the surface of the baffle 3, and a hook is installed at the bottom of the box body 1, and the baffle 3 can be disassembled and assembled by translation and pulling through cooperation with the hook.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the top cover 2 is provided with a sliding seat 4 slidingly mounted in the horizontal direction, and two strip grooves 201 parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding seat 4 are provided on the top cover 2, and a rotating wheel 5 is installed at the position corresponding to each strip groove 201 on the sliding seat 4, and a vertical lifting rod 6 is movably mounted on the rotating wheel 5, and the top ends of the two lifting rods 6 are fixedly connected by a rigid rod 7; the lifting rod 6 is a round rod, and a spiral groove is provided on the circumferential surface of the lifting rod 6, and a ball matched with the spiral groove is installed on the rotating wheel 5. In this way, when the two rotating wheels 5 rotate forward at the same time, the two lifting rods 6 and the rigid rod 7 will descend synchronously; when the two rotating wheels 5 rotate in the opposite direction at the same time, the two lifting rods 6 and the rigid rod 7 will rise synchronously; two mutually perpendicular inserts 8 are fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the lifting rod 6, and the inserts 8 are isosceles triangles with the top angle facing downward, and the intersection of the two inserts 8 coincides with the center line of the lifting rod 6. The moxibustion practitioner inserts one end of the moxa stick into the two inserts 8, and when the lifting rod 6 is lifted, it will drive the moxa stick to rise and fall synchronously.

[0031] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a frame-shaped bracket 9 is fixedly installed at a position below each strip groove 201 inside the box body 1, and the bracket 9 is in a horizontal state. Two sliders 10 are slidably installed on each bracket 9, and the two sliders 10 are located at both ends of the bracket 9 and are symmetrically arranged; a horizontal metal wire 11 and a scraper 12 are installed between the two sliders 10, the metal wire 11 is always in a tensioned state, and the scraper 12 is in a vertical state.

[0032] Specifically, during moxibustion, the positions of the moxa stick and the bracket 9 correspond in the vertical direction, and the burning point at the bottom of the moxa stick is flush with the position of the bracket 9. As the moxa stick continues to burn, its burning point continues to rise; when the moxa stick descends, the two sliders 10 on the bracket 9 translate synchronously, driving the metal wire 11 and the scraper 12 to translate synchronously; the metal wire 11 cuts the burned moxa ash, separating the moxa ash from the moxa stick, and the moxa ash separated from the moxa stick falls onto the baffle 3, and the scraper 12 pushes the moxa ash; as the moxa stick continues to descend, the slider 10 translates back and forth, the metal wire 11 reciprocates to cut the moxa ash, and the scraper 12 reciprocates to push the fallen moxa ash. In this way, as moxibustion proceeds, the moxa ash accumulated on the baffle 3 is like Figure 7 Compared with the traditional method of setting a heat collecting cover in the box body, the design in this embodiment can prevent the moxa ash from blocking the downward transmission of the heat emitted by the burning moxa stick, and on the other hand, the moxa ash accumulated on both sides of the moxa stick can also reduce the heat dissipation to both sides, improve the effect of heat collection, and thus improve the treatment effect on the patient's affected part.

[0033] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a slide bar 13 penetrating the side wall of the box body 1 is connected between the corresponding sliders 10 on the two brackets 9, and the slider 10 is installed on the slide bar 13, and the ends of the two slide bars 13 are fixedly connected by a connecting rod 14; then when the connecting rod 14 reciprocates, the slide bar 13, the slider 10, the metal wire 11 and the scraper 12 will translate synchronously; a rotating shaft 15 is installed on the position corresponding to each slide bar 13 on the outer wall of the box body 1 through a support arm rotation, and a first connecting rod 16 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 15, and a second connecting rod 17 is rotatably installed on one end of the first connecting rod 16, and one end of the second connecting rod 17 is rotationally matched with one end of the connecting rod 14; a gear 18 is fixedly installed on one end of the rotating shaft 15, and a rack 19 meshing with the gear 18 is vertically slidably installed at the position corresponding to each gear 18 on the outer wall of the box body 1, and an inverted L-shaped rod 20 is fixedly installed on the top of the rack 19, and a horizontal rod 21 penetrating the rigid rod 7 and slidingly matched with the rigid rod 7 is fixedly installed between the horizontal sections of the two L-shaped rods 20.

[0034] Specifically, when the lifting rod 6, the rigid rod 7 and the moxa stick are synchronously lowered, the rigid rod 7 will push the horizontal rod 21, the L-shaped rod 20 and the rack 19 to be synchronously lowered, and the rack 19 will drive the gear 18, the rotating shaft 15 and the first connecting rod 16 to rotate continuously, and the first connecting rod 16 will drive the second connecting rod 17 to move when it rotates continuously, and the second connecting rod 17 will drive the connecting rod 14 to reciprocate. In this way, when the moxa stick is lowered, the metal wire 11 will automatically cut the moxa ash, and the scraper 12 will automatically push the fallen moxa ash to both sides.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, a worm wheel 22 is fixedly mounted on the rotating wheel 5; a horizontal shaft 23 is rotatably mounted on the sliding seat 4, and a worm 24 meshing with the worm wheel 22 is fixedly mounted on the horizontal shaft 23; a motor for driving the horizontal shaft 23 is mounted on the sliding seat 4. During the moxibustion process, the patient can remotely control the motor by himself to drive the horizontal shaft 23 and the worm 24 to rotate forward or reverse; when the worm 24 rotates forward, the worm wheel 22 and the rotating wheel 5 also rotate forward, and the lifting rod 6 and the moxa stick are synchronously lowered; when the worm 24 reverses, the worm wheel 22 and the rotating wheel 5 also reverse, and the lifting rod 6 and the moxa stick are synchronously raised. In this way, if the patient feels that the temperature is too low during the moxibustion process, the moxa stick can be lowered to make the burning point close to the affected area; if the patient feels that the temperature is too high and there is a burning sensation, the moxa stick can be raised to make the burning point away from the affected area.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] like Figure 8As shown, on the basis of the previous embodiment, the slider 10 in this embodiment slides with the slide bar 13 in a direction parallel to the metal wire 11, and a rubber block 25 is connected between the slider 10 and the slide bar 13; a plurality of protrusions 26 with a semicircular cross section are evenly installed on the bracket 9 along the sliding direction of the slider 10, and one end of the slider 10 is an arc surface and fits with the protrusion 26. When the slider 10 moves in the horizontal direction, and constantly vibrates slightly under the action of the protrusion 26 and the rubber block 25, the metal wire 11 and the scraper 12 are driven to vibrate slightly, which improves the cutting effect of the metal wire 11 on the moxa ash on the one hand, and increases the friction between the scraper 12 and the moxa ash on the other hand, so as to avoid the moxa ash and the scraper 12 sticking.

[0038] The use process of the combined moxibustion treatment box of this embodiment is as follows: before moxibustion, the patient lies face down on the bed, and the moxibustion practitioner places the combined moxibustion treatment box on the bed so that the box body 1 is above the patient's body; the moxibustion practitioner lights the bottom of the moxa stick and inserts the top of the moxa stick on the insert 8, then closes the baffle 3, adjusts the position of the sliding seat 4, and translates the moxa stick to the patient's affected area. During the moxibustion process, the moxa stick continues to burn, and the burning point of the moxa stick continues to approach the top of the moxa stick; the motor in this embodiment is connected to the controller through a flexible wire, and the patient can remotely control the motor through the controller; when the patient feels the temperature is low, the motor can be controlled to start and rotate forward, and the motor will drive the horizontal shaft 23 and the worm 24 to rotate forward, so that the lifting rod 6 and the moxa stick descend, that is, the burning point of the moxa stick is brought closer to the patient; in this process, the horizontal rod 21, the L-shaped rod 20 and the rack 19 descend, the rack 19 drives the gear 18, the rotating shaft 15 and the first connecting rod 16 to rotate, the first connecting rod 1 drives the second connecting rod 17 to move, the second connecting rod 17 drives the connecting rod 14 and the slider 10 to reciprocate, the metal wire 11 reciprocates to cut the moxa ash, and the scraper 12 reciprocates to push the fallen moxa ash. Similarly, if the patient feels a high temperature and a burning sensation on the skin during the moxibustion process, the controller can be used to remotely control the motor to reverse, and the motor will drive the horizontal shaft 23 and the worm 24 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the lifting rod 6 and the moxa stick to rise, that is, to move the burning point of the moxa stick away from the patient.

[0039] The above description is only by way of illustration of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
