Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of ginger-separated moxibustion treatment instruments, and specifically relates to an intelligent controllable ginger-separated moxibustion treatment instrument and its control method. Background Art

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine ginger-separated moxibustion therapy synergistically acts on acupoints through the heat generated by the burning of moxa cones and the medicinal properties of ginger slices, and has the effects of warming meridians and dispelling cold, regulating qi and blood, etc. It is widely used in the treatment of cold-damp arthralgia, deficiency-cold diseases, etc. in clinical practice.

[0003] In traditional ginger-separated moxibustion, a wooden box or a simple bracket is mostly used to fix the moxa cone. During the burning process, due to insufficient air circulation, it is easy to cause incomplete burning of the moxa cone, generating a large amount of smoke and residual ashes; in the traditional therapy, the distance between the moxa cone and the skin depends on manual adjustment, lacking an accurate temperature monitoring and feedback mechanism. During the treatment process, the local temperature fluctuates greatly. When the moxa cone burns vigorously or is close to the skin, it is easy to cause skin burns due to excessive temperature. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent controllable ginger-separated moxibustion treatment instrument and its control method to solve the problems that the moxa cone in traditional ginger-separated moxibustion cannot be fully burned, and the temperature cannot be controlled, which is easy to cause the risk of burns.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: An intelligent controllable ginger-separated moxibustion treatment instrument, comprising: A box body, on which a cover plate capable of inserting a moxa cone is provided, and the lower end of the box body is provided in an arc shape. Exhaust fans communicating with the outside of the box body are provided on both sides of the box body. Fixed plates are fixedly connected to the inner walls on both sides of the box body, and miniature blowers capable of accelerating the burning of the moxa cone and communicating with the outside of the box body are fixedly installed on both fixed plates. Three temperature sensors are provided at the lower end of the box body. A display controller, which is electrically connected to the exhaust fan, the miniature blower and the temperature sensor respectively.

[0006] Among them, a double-layer net is provided on the inner wall at the lower end of the box body, and a ventilation partition net capable of holding ginger slices is provided at the lower end of the box body under the double-layer net. One end of the ventilation partition net penetrates the box body, and the ventilation partition net can be slid out of the box body through a pull rod. The three temperature sensors are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the double-layer net and the lower side of the ventilation partition net.

[0007] Among them, a blocking rod is rotatably installed on one side of the box body close to the ventilation partition net, and the end of the blocking rod away from the box body is in sliding contact with the side surface of the ventilation partition net.

[0008] Among them, a plurality of air guide holes are respectively opened on both sides of the box body in an up-and-down arrangement.

[0009] Wherein, two connecting plates arranged up and down are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the box body. A sliding rod and a rotatably arranged threaded rod are respectively fixedly provided between the connecting plates at both ends of the box body. A support frame is threaded on the threaded rod, and the sliding rod passes through the support frame and is slidably connected to the support frame. A clamping block is slidably mounted on the support frame. Two springs are fixedly installed between the clamping block and the inner wall of the support frame. The position where the clamping block contacts the inserted moxa stick is inclined.

[0010] Wherein, limiting grooves are formed on both inner walls of the support frame. Limiting blocks capable of sliding in the limiting grooves are provided at both ends of the clamping block. Limiting columns are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the support frame. The limiting columns pass through the clamping block and are slidably connected to the clamping block, and the springs are slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the limiting columns.

[0011] Wherein, one end of the threaded rod penetrates through the connecting plate. A motor is fixedly installed on one side of the box body. The output end of the motor penetrates through the box body and is fixedly connected to a round shaft. A bevel gear is fixedly connected to each of the end of the round shaft and the end of the threaded rod that penetrates through the connecting plate. The two bevel gears mesh with each other.

[0012] Wherein, two glass windows capable of rotating and switching are provided at the lower end of the box body close to the display controller. An annular clamping block that is clamped with the box body is provided at the lower end of the cover plate.

[0013] Wherein, the box body is composed of a contact layer, a buffer layer and a reflection layer from outside to inside. The material of the contact layer is a medical silica gel pad, the material of the buffer layer is aerogel felt, and the material of the reflection layer is an aluminum foil coating.

[0014] A control method for an intelligent controllable ginger moxibustion therapeutic apparatus includes the following steps: Step 1, initialization preparation: Insert the moxa stick into the box body and contact the double-layer net, and the clamping block and the spring cooperate to lock the moxa stick. Pull the pull rod to draw out the ventilation partition net, place the ginger slice on the partition net, push the box body back and rotate the blocking rod to lock it; Step 2, turn on the power supply, initialize the display controller, read the initial value of the temperature sensor, and set the treatment parameters through the display controller; Step 3, light the moxa stick through the glass window, and at the same time start the high-speed gear of the two micro blowers on both sides. Supply oxygen to the moxa stick through the air guide holes to ensure that the moxa stick burns quickly and fully. Observe the burning state of the moxa stick through the glass window. If the burning is insufficient and the smoke volume is large, the display controller automatically increases the air volume of the micro blower or lowers the height of the support frame through the motor, so as to drive the burning point at the lower end of the moxa stick to contact the double-layer net; Step 4, when the temperature sensor monitors that the temperature is too high, the display controller controls the exhaust fan to start to reduce the temperature in the box body. At the same time, the display controller triggers the motor to drive the threaded rod to rotate and raise the support frame to increase the distance between the moxa stick and the skin; Step 5: After the treatment is completed, the display controller turns off the micro blower and the exhaust fan, the motor drives the support frame to rise to the highest position, the ventilation partition is pulled out, the ginger slices are replaced, and the residual mugwort ash on the double-layer net is cleaned through the glass window.

[0015] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. In the present invention, a micro blower is adopted. By starting the micro blower through the display controller, oxygen can be actively delivered to the combustion area, avoiding the problem of insufficient combustion of the mugwort column caused by insufficient natural ventilation, and ensuring the full release of the medicinal effect.

[0016] 2. In the present invention, a cooperative setting of three groups of temperature sensors and exhaust fans is adopted. Through the temperature sensors, the temperature data of the treatment surface can be collected in real time and fed back to the display controller. When the temperature sensors detect that the temperature is too high, the display controller controls the exhaust fans to start, reducing the temperature inside the box and avoiding the risk of scalding.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0019] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0020] Refer toFigures 1-5 , an intelligent controllable ginger moxibustion therapeutic apparatus, comprising a box body 10 and a display controller 20. A cover plate 14 capable of inserting moxa cones is provided on the box body 10, and the lower end of the box body 10 is arranged in an arc shape to fit the human body curve (such as parts of the back, abdomen, etc.), enhancing the contact tightness during treatment and improving the heat conduction efficiency of moxibustion. Exhaust fans 22 communicating with the outside of the box body 10 are provided on both sides of the box body 10. Fixed plates 102 are fixedly connected to the inner walls on both sides of the box body 10. Miniature blowers 21 capable of accelerating the combustion of moxa cones and communicating with the outside of the box body 10 are fixedly installed on the two fixed plates 102. Three temperature sensors 23 are provided at the lower end of the box body 10. The display controller 20 is electrically connected to the exhaust fans 22, the miniature blowers 21, and the temperature sensors 23 respectively.

[0021] Specifically, after the moxa cone is lit, the miniature blower 21 is started through the display controller 20, so that the air outside the box body 10 is continuously conveyed to the moxa cone combustion area, increasing the contact area between the moxa cone and oxygen and avoiding the problem of insufficient combustion of the moxa cone caused by insufficient oxygen supply; through the three temperature sensors 23, the skin surface temperature is collected. When the skin surface temperature is too high, the display controller 20 controls the exhaust fan 22 to start, reducing the temperature inside the box body 10 and avoiding the risk of skin burns.

[0022] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a double-layer net 27 is provided on the inner wall at the lower end of the box body 10. The double-layer net 27 forms a combustion chamber, providing a stable support surface for the moxa cone, and at the same time increasing the contact area between the moxa cone and oxygen to promote sufficient combustion. The box body 10 is provided with a ventilation partition net 24 capable of holding ginger slices at the lower end of the double-layer net 27. Ginger slices are placed in the ventilation partition net 24. One end of the ventilation partition net 24 penetrates the box body 10, and the ventilation partition net 24 can be slid out of the box body 10 through a pull rod 25. The three temperature sensors 23 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the double-layer net 27 and the lower side of the ventilation partition net 24. The temperature sensor 23 on the lower side of the ventilation partition net 24 directly monitors the temperature of the skin contact area and feeds it back to the display controller 20 in real time. When the monitored temperature is too high, the display controller 20 controls the exhaust fan 22 to start, reducing the temperature transmitted from the box body 10 to the skin surface and avoiding the risk of burns.

[0023] Refer to Figure 1 As shown, a blocking rod 26 is rotatably installed on one side of the box body 10 close to the ventilation partition net 24. The end of the blocking rod 26 away from the box body 10 is in sliding contact with the side surface of the ventilation partition net 24, used to fix the position of the ventilation partition net 24 and prevent the ventilation partition net 24 from sliding out of the box body 10.

[0024] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a number of air guide holes 101 are provided on both sides of the box body 10 in an up-and-down arrangement. The number of air guide holes 101 arranged up and down provides a two-way air intake path for the interior of the box body 10. The air guide holes 101 at the upper end of the box body 10 are air outlets, and the air guide holes 101 at the lower end of the box body 10 are air inlets. The air flow direction of intake from below and exhaust from above can increase the combustion speed and make the moxa stick burn more fully.

[0025] Referring to Figure 3 As shown, two connecting plates 103 arranged up and down are provided on both inner walls of the box body 10. A slide bar 15 and a rotatably arranged threaded rod 16 are respectively fixed between the connecting plates 103 at both ends of the box body 10. A support frame 30 is threaded on the threaded rod 16, and the slide bar 15 passes through the support frame 30 and is slidably connected to the support frame 30. When the support frame 30 moves up and down, it is ensured that the support frame 30 will not shake, and at the same time, it can be avoided that the threaded rod 16 drives the support frame 30 to rotate when rotating. A clamping block 31 is slidably installed on the support frame 30. Two springs 33 are fixedly installed between the clamping block 31 and the inner wall of the support frame 30. The position where the clamping block 31 contacts the inserted moxa stick is inclined.

[0026] Specifically, when the moxa stick is inserted through two holes in the cover plate 14 and passes through the clamping block 31, the lower end of the moxa stick slides along the inclined end of the clamping block 31, and the clamping block 31 is squeezed, causing the spring 33 to be compressed. Then the moxa stick is inserted onto the surface of the double-layer net 27. Through the elastic extrusion of the spring 33, the moxa stick can be clamped and fixed.

[0027] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, limiting grooves 301 are provided on both inner walls of the support frame 30. Limiting blocks 311 capable of sliding in the limiting grooves 301 are provided at both ends of the clamping block 31. Limiting columns 32 are provided on both inner walls of the support frame 30. The limiting columns 32 pass through the clamping block 31 and are slidably connected to the clamping block 31, and the spring 33 is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the limiting column 32. Through the cooperation of the limiting block 311 and the limiting groove 301, the clamping block 31 can always move horizontally in the support frame 30, and the limiting column 32 can ensure that the spring 33 will not be deformed when being repeatedly squeezed and contracted.

[0028] Referring to Figure 3 As shown, one end of the threaded rod 16 passes through the connecting plate 103. A motor 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the box body 10. The output end of the motor 19 passes through the box body 10 and is fixedly connected to a circular shaft 18. A bevel gear 17 is fixedly connected to each of the circular shaft 18 and the end of the threaded rod 16 passing through the connecting plate 103. The two bevel gears 17 mesh with each other.

[0029] The motor 19 is started under the control of the display controller 20. The motor 19 drives the circular shaft 18 to rotate. Through the transmission of two bevel gears 17, the threaded rod 16 rotates, so that the support frame 30 can slide up and down along the surface of the sliding rod 15, and further drive the clamping block 31 in the support frame 30 to drive the moxa stick up and down.

[0030] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, two glass windows 28 capable of rotating the switch are provided at the lower end of the box body 10 close to the display controller 20. Through the transparent glass window 28, the combustion state of the moxa stick and the heat receiving condition of the ginger slice in the box body 10 can be directly observed, which is convenient for medical staff or users to judge the treatment process in real time. At the same time, the moxa stick can be ignited through the glass window 28. A ring-shaped clamping block 141 is provided at the lower end of the cover plate 14 and is clamped with the box body 10, which is convenient for fixing the cover plate 14 on the box body 10.

[0031] Refer to Figure 5 As shown, the box body 10 is composed of a contact layer 11, a buffer layer 12 and a reflective layer 13 from outside to inside. The material of the contact layer 11 is a medical silica gel pad. The medical silica gel pad is soft, non-toxic and biocompatible. When directly contacting the skin, it can avoid the friction damage that may be caused by traditional metal or hard materials, and is especially suitable for the comfort requirements during long-term moxibustion. The material of the buffer layer 12 is aerogel felt. The aerogel felt can greatly slow down the speed of heat conduction to the outside of the box body 10, ensure that the heat in the box body 10 is concentrated for moxibustion, and at the same time reduce the temperature of the outer shell. The material of the reflective layer 13 is an aluminum foil coating. The aluminum foil coating reflects the radiant heat on the inner side of the box body 10 back to the combustion chamber direction through the principle of specular reflection, reducing the heat loss to the outside of the box body 10, thereby improving the combustion efficiency of the moxa stick and the heat utilization rate.

[0032] The control method of the intelligent controllable ginger-separated moxibustion therapeutic instrument includes the following steps: Step 1: Initialization preparation. Insert the moxa stick into the box body 10 and contact the double-layer mesh 27, and the clamping block 31 cooperates with the spring 33 to lock the moxa stick. Pull the pull rod 25 to draw out the ventilation partition net 24, place the ginger slice on the partition net, push back the box body 10 and rotate the stop lever 26 to lock it; Step 2: Connect the power supply. The display controller 20 is initialized, the initial value of the temperature sensor 23 is read, and the treatment parameters are set through the display controller 20; Step 3: Ignite the moxa stick through the glass window 28. At the same time, start the high-speed gear of the two-side micro blowers 21, supply oxygen to the moxa stick through the air guide holes 101 to ensure that the moxa stick burns quickly and fully. Observe the combustion state of the moxa stick through the glass window 28. If the combustion is insufficient and the smoke volume is large, the display controller 20 automatically increases the air volume of the micro blower 21 or lowers the height of the support frame 30 through the motor 19, so as to drive the combustion point at the lower end of the moxa stick to contact the double-layer mesh 27; Step 4: When the temperature sensor 23 detects that the temperature is too high, the display controller 20 controls the exhaust fan 22 to start, reducing the temperature inside the box body 10. At the same time, the display controller 20 triggers the motor 19 to drive the threaded rod 16 to rotate, raising the support frame 30 to increase the distance between the moxa stick and the skin; Step 5: After the treatment is completed, the display controller 20 turns off the micro blower 21 and the exhaust fan 22. The motor 19 drives the support frame 30 to rise to the highest position, pulls out the ventilation partition net 24, replaces the ginger slices and clears the residual moxa ash on the double-layer net 27 through the glass window 28.

[0033] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
