Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of physical therapy, and particularly to a condition-controlled moxibustion bracket and a control method. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the application scope of traditional Chinese medicine physical therapy is very wide. It is not limited to specific parts such as the face, back or limbs, and significant physical therapy effects can be produced on these parts.

[0003] Among many traditional Chinese medicine physical therapy methods, moxibustion is a very common and popular way. The reason why moxibustion physical therapy is widely recognized is that it can bring positive treatment effects during the use process. However, there are also some common problems in the moxibustion physical therapy process. These problems include too wide treatment area, lack of precision, improper operation distance, inaccurate temperature control (combustion state), etc. These factors may all affect the optimization of the treatment effect. When performing moxibustion physical therapy, the physical therapist needs to invest a lot of time and energy to ensure the accuracy of the operation, which not only causes unnecessary physical consumption, but also the existing physical therapy bracket devices often cannot provide accurate physical therapy position guidance and are difficult to meet the physical therapist's need for precise operation. Specifically, it is difficult to control the smoke generation intensity and heat intensity (infrared effect) of the combustion point to act on the skin area within a suitable numerical range.

[0035] Refer to Figures 1 to 6, in an embodiment of the present invention, a condition-controlled moxibustion bracket includes:

[0036] An air pump 100 for providing air flow;

[0037] A valve system 200 connected to the output end of the air pump 100;

[0038] At least one moxa stick cylinder assembly 300, the moxa stick cylinder assembly 300 includes a pneumatic push rod 310 and a working cylinder 320, the pneumatic push rod 310 includes a cylinder body and a telescopic rod driven for the cylinder body, an moxa stick clamping head 311 is arranged on the telescopic rod, there is a clearance fit between the inner wall of the working cylinder 320 and the telescopic rod and the moxa stick clamping head 311, the upper end of the working cylinder 320 is connected and closed to the cylinder body and is provided with a first air inlet position 321, a first air inlet pipe 330 leading to the inside of the working cylinder 320 is installed on the first air inlet position 321, a shielding installation position 322 and a second air inlet position 323 are provided in a ring shape at the lower end of the working cylinder 320, a shielding sensor 340 corresponding to the inside of the working cylinder 320 is installed on the shielding installation position 322, a second air inlet pipe 350 leading to the inside of the working cylinder 320 is installed on the second air inlet position 323, the output end of the valve system 200 is connected to the pneumatic push rod 310, the first air inlet pipe 330 and the second air inlet pipe 350, a cylindrical shielding cylinder 360 is arranged at the free end of the working cylinder 320, a grid grating 361 is partitioned and arranged inside the shielding cylinder 360, a thermometer installation position is arranged on the shielding cylinder 360, and a thermometer 370 inserted into the shielding cylinder 360 and located below the grid grating 361 is arranged on the thermometer installation position;

[0039] A controller 400 receives the sensing signals of the shielding sensor 340 and the thermometer 370 on the moxa stick cylinder assembly 300, and controls the operation of the pneumatic push rod 310, the first air inlet pipe 330 and the second air inlet pipe 350 through the valve system 200.

[0040] In the prior art, it is difficult to control the smoke generation intensity and heat intensity (infrared effect) of the moxibustion combustion point to act on the skin area within a suitable numerical range.

[0041] The condition-controlled moxibustion bracket provided by the present invention. In the present invention, when the condition-controlled moxibustion bracket is in use, the up and down directions are fixed, so a certain direction indication is carried out in the up and down manner. The condition-controlled moxibustion bracket includes an air pump 100, a valve system 200, a moxa stick cylinder assembly 300 and a controller 400.

[0042] The air pump 100 is used to provide air flow. Specifically, the structural form and pumping efficiency of the air pump 100 are selected according to the actual use situation.

[0043] The valve system 200 is connected to the output end of the air pump 100.

[0044] At least one moxa stick cylinder assembly 300. The moxa stick cylinder assembly 300 includes a pneumatic push rod 310 and a working cylinder 320. The pneumatic push rod 310 includes a cylinder body and a telescopic rod driven by the cylinder body. An moxa stick clamping head 311 is provided on the telescopic rod, and the moxa stick 010 is clamped and installed on the moxa stick clamping head 311. Thus, during the process of the pneumatic push rod 310 performing telescopic actions, the moxa stick 010 can be driven in the length direction of the working cylinder 320. The inner wall of the working cylinder 320 has a clearance fit with both the telescopic rod and the moxa stick clamping head 311, and the above clearance fit provides a basis for the subsequent operation of the first intake pipe 330 and the second intake pipe 350.

[0045] The upper end of the working cylinder 320 is connected and closed to the cylinder body and is provided with a first air intake position 321. A first intake pipe 330 leading to the inside of the working cylinder 320 is installed at the first air intake position 321. The first intake pipe 330 can perform an air supply operation, thereby providing a basis for the combustion of the moxa stick 010 and the adjustment of the derivation mode of the medicinal mist. Due to the enclosure of the moxa stick 010 by the working cylinder 320, through the effects of the first intake pipe 330 performing air supply and discharging the medicinal mist, while ensuring combustion, the medicinal mist generated by the combustion of the moxa stick 010 can be discharged from the working cylinder 320 at an appropriate speed.

[0046] A shielding installation position 322 and a second air intake position 323 are provided at the lower end of the working cylinder 320. A shielding sensor 340 corresponding to the inside of the working cylinder 320 is installed at the shielding installation position 322. A second intake pipe 350 leading to the inside of the working cylinder 320 is installed at the second air intake position 323. The output end of the valve system 200 is connected to the pneumatic push rod 310, the first intake pipe 330, and the second intake pipe 350.

[0047] At the other end of the working cylinder 320 in the length direction, there is a cylindrical shielding cylinder 360. Inside the shielding cylinder 360, a grid 361 is partitioned. On the shielding cylinder 360, there is a thermometer mounting position, and on the thermometer mounting position, there is a thermometer 370 inserted into the shielding cylinder 360 and located below the grid 361. The main function of the shielding cylinder 360 is to enclose and position. During use, the shielding cylinder 360 can be in direct contact with the skin, restricting the contact between the burning point of the moxa stick 010 and the skin, and also restricting the medicinal mist within the shielding cylinder 360. By restricting the material, the shielding cylinder 360 is set to be transparent, so that during moxibustion, the situation of relevant positions can be directly observed. A plurality of gaps can be provided in the circumferential direction of the shielding cylinder 360 to provide a basis for the slow discharge of the medicinal mist. The working cylinder 320 and the shielding cylinder 360 can be an integral structure or a connecting structure. The main function of the grid 361 is to prevent the accidental fall of the moxa stick 010 and the accidental fall of larger high-temperature ashes. The above-mentioned sealing effect provided by the shielding cylinder 360 can also provide a basis for the subsequent airflow control of the first intake pipe 330 and the second intake pipe 350.

[0048] The shielding mounting position 322 is not limited to a single mounting hole position, and specifically focuses on realizing the installation of the shielding sensor 340. The function of the shielding sensor 340 is to judge the position of the burning point of the moxa stick 010. Specifically, it can be an infrared or ultrasonic probe, so as to perform detection work. The specific setting method refers to the conventional setting in the prior art. According to the sensing signal of the shielding sensor 340, the operation of the pneumatic push rod 310 is controlled, and thus the burning point of the moxa stick 010 is always set at an appropriate height.

[0049] On the thermometer mounting position, there is a thermometer 370 inserted into the shielding cylinder 360. The type of the thermometer 370 can be diverse, so as to achieve accurate testing and signal transmission within a range of 50 degrees. For example, the thermometer 370 is a T-type thermocouple, and the materials are copper and copper-nickel alloy. The optimal temperature range is from -200 degrees to 350 degrees, and it has good linearity and sensitivity in the low-temperature section. The position of the thermometer 370 is closer to the skin, so that the physical therapy temperature can be obtained more accurately and intuitively.

[0050] The function of the second intake pipe 350 is to control the burning state of the burning point of the moxa stick 010. During normal operation, the airflow ejected from the second intake pipe 350 is aligned with the burning point of the moxa stick 010. The simplest way is that the shielding mounting position 322 and the second intake position 323 are set at the same height on the working cylinder 320, so that the output end of the second intake pipe 350 can conveniently be aligned with the burning point of the moxa stick 010. If the airflow ejected from the second intake pipe 350 is small, the burning state of the burning point of the moxa stick 010 is weak; while if the airflow ejected from the second intake pipe 350 is large, the burning state of the burning point of the moxa stick 010 is enhanced.

[0051] The controller 400 receives the sensing signals of the occlusion sensor 340 and the thermometer 370 on the moxa stick cylinder assembly 300, and the controller 400 controls the operation of the pneumatic push rod 310, the first intake pipe 330, and the second intake pipe 350 through the valve system 200. The valve system 200 can be a single valve structure or a combination of multiple valve structures, and the operation mode of the valve system 200 is set with reference to the number of subsequent moxa stick cylinder assemblies 300 and their specific mechanisms.

[0052] For example, the valve system 200 includes a two-way three-way valve solenoid valve connected to the pneumatic push rod 310, so that the controller 400 can limit the drive adjustment of the pneumatic push rod 310 by controlling the two-way three-way valve solenoid valve. According to the sensing signal of the occlusion sensor 340, the operation of the pneumatic push rod 310 is controlled, and thus the combustion point of the moxa stick 010 is always set at an appropriate height.

[0053] For example, the valve system 200 includes a two-way three-way valve solenoid valve connected to the first intake pipe 330 and the second intake pipe 350. The air pump 100 can alternately supply air to the first intake pipe 330 and the second intake pipe 350 by acting on the two-way three-way valve solenoid valve. The controller 400 receives the sensing signal of the thermometer 370. If the sensing data of the thermometer 370 deviates from the normal data, it indicates that the combustion state of the moxa stick 010 has deviated. The control of the intensity of the combustion point can be achieved through the operation of the second intake pipe 350. The first intake pipe 330 can perform an air supply operation, thereby providing a basis for adjusting the combustion of the moxa stick 010 and the export mode of the medicinal mist, but the control of the intensity of the combustion point is weak.

[0054] It should be noted that the control of the air flow in the first intake pipe 330 and the second intake pipe 350 can be adjusted by controlling the opening of the valve structure at the relevant position, or by adjusting the working intensity of the air pump 100.

[0055] During the control process, the control of the moxa stick 010 has two main aspects: height and combustion state, and one secondary aspect: the intensity of the medicinal mist derivation. Only when both the height and the combustion state are within appropriate ranges can the smoke generation intensity and heat intensity at the combustion point of the moxa stick 010 act on the skin area within an appropriate numerical range. The height of the moxa stick 010 is adjusted by the pneumatic push rod 310. The appropriate height of the moxa stick 010 provides a basis for the infrared effect, heat effect, and correct application of the medicinal mist at the combustion point of the moxa stick 010 to the skin position. After the height of the moxa stick 010 has been correctly set, the combustion state at the combustion point of the moxa stick 010 can be obtained based on the sensing data of the thermometer 370, and the adjustment of the combustion state, and thus the infrared effect and heat effect at the combustion point, can be achieved through the operation adjustment of the second intake pipe 350. In this application, the control of the medicinal mist derivation intensity is not a sensing control, but is achieved through the adjustment of the working intensity of the first intake pipe 330 (for example, by setting an opening adjustment mechanism on the first intake pipe 330 or directly controlling the working intensity of the air pump 100).

[0056] In summary, to achieve precise control of the operation of the moxa stick 010, specifically control the height and combustion state of the main aspects of the moxa stick 010 and the medicinal mist derivation intensity of the secondary aspect. The sealing effect provided by the shielding cylinder 360 provides a basis for the airflow control of the first intake pipe 330 and the second intake pipe 350. After obtaining the height signal of the moxa stick 010 by the occlusion sensor 340, it is achieved through the adjustment of the pneumatic push rod 310. The appropriate height of the moxa stick 010 ensures that the infrared effect and heat effect at the combustion point of the moxa stick 010 are correctly applied to the skin position. After the height of the moxa stick 010 has been correctly set, the combustion state at the combustion point of the moxa stick 010 can be obtained based on the sensing data of the thermometer 370, and the adjustment of the combustion state can be achieved through the operation adjustment of the second intake pipe 350. The operation of the first intake pipe 330 can achieve the medicinal mist derivation effect while ensuring the basic combustion state of the moxa stick 010.

[0057] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , in one embodiment, the number of the moxa stick cylinder assemblies 300 is one. The valve system 200 includes a normally closed first two-way three-way valve 210 and a second two-way three-way valve 220 that are both conducted to the air pump 100. Two air outlets of the first two-way three-way valve 210 are connected to the pneumatic push rod 310. Two air outlets of the second two-way three-way valve 220 are respectively connected to the first intake pipe 330 and the second intake pipe 350.

[0058] In this embodiment, the control requirements are achieved through two two-way three-way valves. The two air outlets of the first two-way three-way valve 210 are connected to the pneumatic push rod 310. Thus, when the first two-way three-way valve 210 conducts the two air outlets respectively, the pneumatic push rod 310 extends and retracts. The two air outlets of the second two-way three-way valve 220 are respectively connected to the first air inlet pipe 330 and the second air inlet pipe 350, thereby ensuring that the first air inlet pipe 330 and the second air inlet pipe 350 do not work simultaneously. While the flow field is stable, the logic control process becomes simpler.

[0059] In one embodiment, the number of the moxa stick tube assemblies 300 is multiple. The valve system 200 includes multiple normally-closed two-way three-way valves that are all conducted to the air pump 100. The pneumatic push rod 310 is connected to the two air outlets of one of the two-way three-way valves. The first air inlet pipe 330 and the second air inlet pipe 350 on the moxa stick tube assembly 300 are respectively connected to the two air outlets of one of the two-way three-way valves.

[0060] In this embodiment, the number of the two-way three-way valves is twice the number of the moxa stick tube assemblies 300. The control of one pneumatic push rod 310 is achieved through one two-way three-way valve. The control of the first air inlet pipe 330 and the second air inlet pipe 350 on one moxa stick tube assembly 300 is achieved through one two-way three-way valve.

[0061] In one embodiment, the outlet of the second air inlet pipe 350 has an upward angle.

[0062] In this embodiment, since the function of the second air inlet pipe 350 is to control the combustion state of the combustion point of the moxa stick 010, the outlet of the second air inlet pipe 350 has an upward angle, so that the ejected air flow does not directly blow the high-temperature ashes generated by the moxa stick 010 downward, reducing the risk of burns.

[0063] In one embodiment, opening degree regulating valves are arranged on both the first air inlet pipe 330 and the second air inlet pipe 350.

[0064] In this embodiment, the adjustment of the air flow intensity in the first air inlet pipe 330 is achieved through the opening degree regulating valve to ensure the correct combustion of the moxa stick 010 and the discharge of the medicinal mist at an appropriate speed. Since the first air inlet pipe 330 and the second air inlet pipe 350 need to work simultaneously in most cases, but the air flows preferably at different speeds, and they share the air source, the adjustment of the air flow speeds is achieved through the adjustment of the two opening degree regulating valves.

[0065] In one embodiment, the shielding sensor 340 can be of infrared type or ultrasonic type.

[0066] In this embodiment, two common types of occlusion sensors 340 are given, so that the position detection of the moxa stick 010 can be simply and conveniently performed.

[0067] In one embodiment, the pneumatic push rod 310 or the working cylinder 320 is provided with a mounting seat connected to an external fixed structure.

[0068] In this embodiment, the convenient fixation of the conditional control type moxibustion bracket can be realized through the function of the mounting seat, and the structural form of the mounting seat can be various, and no specific limitation is made.

[0069] In one embodiment, the degree of combination between the shielding cylinder 360 and the working cylinder 320 in the length direction is adjustable.

[0070] In this embodiment, considering different usage requirements, that is, different position requirements between the burning point of the moxa stick 010 and the skin, the degree of combination of the shielding cylinder 360 is adjustable, so that the position height of the burning point can be precisely adjusted.

[0071] The present invention also provides a control method, which is applied to the above-mentioned conditional control type moxibustion bracket, and includes the following steps executed in sequence:

[0072] S1. According to the position sensing signal sent by the occlusion sensor 340, the pneumatic push rod 310 corresponding to the moxa stick tube assembly 300 is controlled by the valve system 200 to perform a driving action once;

[0073] S2. Continuously receive the temperature sensing signal sent by the thermometer 370 on the moxa stick tube assembly 300;

[0074] S3. If the temperature sensing signal is outside the preset temperature range, the first intake pipe 330 is controlled by the valve system 200 to stop working and the second intake pipe 350 is controlled to start working until the temperature sensing signal returns to the preset temperature range, and then the first intake pipe 330 is controlled by the valve system 200 to start working again and the second intake pipe 350 is controlled to stop working, wherein the preset temperature range is set artificially.

[0075] In this embodiment, during the control process, the control of the moxa stick 010 has two main aspects, namely height and combustion state, and one secondary aspect, namely the derivation intensity of the medicinal mist. Only when both the height and the combustion state are within the appropriate ranges can the smoke generation intensity and heat intensity of the combustion point of the moxa stick 010 act on the skin area within the appropriate numerical ranges. The height of the moxa stick 010 is adjusted by the pneumatic push rod 310. The appropriate height of the moxa stick 010 provides a basis for the infrared effect, heat effect of the combustion point of the moxa stick 010, and the correct application of the medicinal mist to the skin position. After the height of the moxa stick 010 has been correctly set, the combustion state of the combustion point of the moxa stick 010 can be obtained according to the sensing data of the thermometer 370, and the adjustment of the combustion state is realized through the operation of the second air inlet pipe 350. Furthermore, the infrared effect and heat effect of the combustion point finally act on the skin with appropriate intensities. In this application, the control of the derivation intensity of the medicinal mist is not a sensing control, but is realized by adjusting the working intensity of the first air inlet pipe 330 (for example, setting an opening adjustment mechanism on the first air inlet pipe 330, or directly controlling the working intensity of the air pump 100).

[0076] In step S1, the controller 400 receives the position sensing signals sent by all the occlusion sensors 340 (respectively arranged on different moxa stick cylinder assemblies 300). When the position sensing signals obtained by the occlusion sensors 340 indicate that the position of the moxa stick 010 needs to be adjusted, the pneumatic push rod 310 of the corresponding moxa stick cylinder assembly 300 is controlled through the valve system 200 to perform a driving action. For example, one driving action is that the pneumatic push rod 310 advances outward by a certain dimension. The types of driving timing signals of the pneumatic push rod 310 shown by the position sensing signals can be diverse. For example, when the occlusion sensor 340 is an infrared sensor pair, when the infrared signal is no longer blocked by the moxa stick 010, it indicates that the moxa stick 010 has been consumed to a certain extent and the pneumatic push rod 310 needs to be controlled.

[0077] In step S2, after step S1 is executed, at this time the height of the moxa stick 010 is correct. Then continuously receive the temperature sensing signals sent by the thermometer 370 on the corresponding moxa stick cylinder assembly 300. The temperature sensing signals can correctly represent the combustion state of the combustion point of the moxa stick 010.

[0078] In step S3, if the temperature sensing signal is outside the preset temperature range, the valve system 200 is used to control the first air inlet pipe 330 to stop working (stopping the air flow from top to bottom in the working cylinder 320) and control the second air inlet pipe 350 to work (at this time, the outgoing air flow of the second air inlet pipe 350 is aligned with the combustion point of the moxa stick 010). Until the temperature sensing signal returns to the preset temperature range, the valve system 200 is used to control the first air inlet pipe 330 to start working again (at this time, fresh air is normally input to discharge the medicine mist) and control the second air inlet pipe 350 to stop working. The preset temperature range is set manually and can be adjusted by the user according to the physiotherapy conditions.

[0079] In one embodiment, before the step of S1, it includes:

[0080] S0. Receive the telescopic driving power and air supply power corresponding to the air pump 100;

[0081] In the step of S1, when driving the pneumatic push rod 310, the working power of the air pump 100 is adjusted to the telescopic driving power. After the driving of the pneumatic push rod 310 is completed, the working power of the air pump 100 is adjusted to the air supply power.

[0082] In this embodiment, considering that the air flow intensity required during the driving of the pneumatic push rod 310 is different from that in the first air inlet pipe 330 and the second air inlet pipe 350, through differential setting, the operation of the entire condition-controlled moxibustion bracket can be made more efficient.

[0083] In summary, the condition-controlled moxibustion bracket and control method provided by the present invention achieve precise control over the operation of the moxa stick 010, specifically controlling the height and combustion state of the main aspects of the moxa stick 010 and the medicine mist export intensity of the secondary aspects. The closed effect provided by the shielding cylinder 360 provides a basis for the air flow control of the first air inlet pipe 330 and the second air inlet pipe 350; after obtaining the height signal of the moxa stick 010 by the occlusion sensor 340, it is achieved through the adjustment of the pneumatic push rod 310. The appropriate height of the moxa stick 010 ensures that the infrared effect and heat effect of the combustion point of the moxa stick 010 are correctly applied to the skin position; when the height of the moxa stick 010 has been correctly set, the combustion state of the combustion point of the moxa stick 010 can be obtained according to the sensing data of the thermometer 370, and the adjustment of the combustion state is achieved through the operation adjustment of the second air inlet pipe 350; the operation of the first air inlet pipe 330 can achieve the medicine mist export effect while ensuring the basic combustion state of the moxa stick 010.
