Common physiotherapy methods include infrared physiotherapy, fumigation, and spraying medicine, etc. These methods can effectively improve the health status of horses, and enhance their athletic performance and comfort.

[0003] In the prior art, the physiotherapy for the back of a horse usually adopts single-functional devices or manual operations. For example, infrared physiotherapy devices, fumigation devices, and spraying medicine devices are used independently, and can only achieve a single physiotherapy function, unable to perform multiple physiotherapies simultaneously, resulting in low physiotherapy efficiency. Moreover, there is a risk of scalding during the use of existing infrared physiotherapy devices, there is a problem of soot falling during the use of fumigation devices, and there is a problem of uneven spraying of liquid medicine during the use of spraying medicine devices, having certain defects. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a physiotherapy device for the back of a horse. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned existing defects and problems, the present invention provides a physiotherapy device for the back of a horse, which integrates infrared physiotherapy, fumigation, and spraying medicine functions, realizes the physiotherapy of the acupoints on the back of a horse, and improves the physiotherapy effect and comfort for the back of a horse.

[0014] Advantages of the present invention: The structure of the present invention is unique and ingeniously designed. Infrared irradiation is performed on the acupoints on the horse's back by evenly distributed infrared physiotherapy lamps, which can effectively promote blood circulation and relieve muscle fatigue, and is suitable for the recovery physiotherapy of horses after exercise. The temperature of the infrared physiotherapy lamps is controlled between 35-65 degrees, which not only ensures the physiotherapy effect but also avoids the risk of scalding. Fumigation of the horse's back is carried out with the moxa smoke generated by burning moxa or moxa wool, which has the effects of warming the meridians and dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and is especially suitable for muscle stiffness or pain caused by cold dampness. The design of the upper net layer and the lower net layer ensures that the moxa smoke acts evenly on the horse's back and at the same time prevents the soot from falling. Spraying traditional Chinese medicine or medicinal wine through the liquid medicine spray head can directly act on the skin and acupoints on the horse's back, playing roles such as anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and promoting wound healing. The micro pump ensures the uniformity and dosage accuracy of the liquid medicine spraying, and improves the use efficiency of the liquid medicine. The distance between the lower net layer and the U-shaped bottom frame is controlled at 5-10 cm by the outer support rod, ensuring a safe distance between the infrared physiotherapy lamps and the horse's back and avoiding scalding the horse's skin due to excessive temperature.

Specific embodiments

[0025] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] In Embodiment 1, the existing physiotherapy for the horse's back usually uses single-function devices or manual operations. For example, infrared physiotherapy devices, fumigation devices, and medicine spraying devices are used independently, and can only achieve single physiotherapy functions, unable to perform multiple physiotherapies simultaneously, resulting in low physiotherapy efficiency. Moreover, there is a risk of scalding during the use of existing infrared physiotherapy devices, there is a problem of ash falling during the use of fumigation devices, and there is a problem of uneven liquid medicine spraying during the use of medicine spraying devices.

[0027] In view of the above problems, this embodiment provides a physiotherapy device for the horse's back, as Figure 1-2As shown in the figure, the housing 1 can be placed on the back of a horse as a carrier. A hollow area is provided at the bottom of the housing 1, and a U-shaped bottom frame 11 is fixedly arranged in the hollow area. The U-shaped bottom frame 11 can fit and match the shape of the horse's back. The housing 1 is placed on the horse's back through the U-shaped bottom frame 11, and buckle belts 7 are connected to both sides of the housing 1, thereby fixing the housing 1 firmly on the horse's back and preventing the housing 1 from falling off the horse's back, further enhancing the stability of the housing 1 on the horse's back.

[0028] As Figure 2-4 shown, the infrared physiotherapy unit 2 includes a lower net layer 21 and infrared physiotherapy lamps 22. The lower net layer 21 is arranged inside the housing 1, and the shape of the lower net layer 21 corresponds to and cooperates with that of the U-shaped bottom frame 11. The lower net layer 21 is an arc-shaped structure and can cooperate with the U-shaped bottom frame 11 correspondingly. The lower net layer 21 and the U-shaped bottom frame 11 are connected by outer support rods 12. The outer support rods 12 are fixed on the outside of the U-shaped bottom frame 11, so that there is a gap between the lower net layer 21 and the U-shaped bottom frame 11 through the outer support rods 12; the infrared physiotherapy lamps 22 are evenly distributed in the mesh holes of the lower net layer 21, or the infrared physiotherapy lamps 22 can also be evenly distributed on the inner bottom of the lower net layer 21. The infrared physiotherapy lamps 22 can perform infrared physiotherapy on the acupoints on the horse's back.

[0029] Under the action of the outer support rods 12, the distance between the lower net layer 21 and the U-shaped bottom frame 11 is 5 - 10 cm. By maintaining a gap of 5 - 10 cm, it can prevent the infrared physiotherapy lamps 22 from scalding the acupoints on the horse's back during infrared physiotherapy. At the same time, the infrared physiotherapy lamps 22 are signal-connected to the controller 5, and the controller 5 can control the irradiation temperature of the infrared physiotherapy lamps 22 to control the infrared irradiation temperature range within 35 - 65 degrees.

[0030] As Figure 3 shown, the fumigation unit 3 includes an upper net layer 31, a placement rack 32 and a ring plate 33. The upper net layer 31 is arranged inside the housing 1 and above the lower net layer 21, and an inner ring retaining platform 13 is fixed inside the housing 1. The upper net layer 31 is supported by the inner ring retaining platform 13. The upper net layer 31 can be detachably connected to the inner ring retaining platform 13 through set screws, so that the upper net layer 31 can be detached from the inside of the housing 1, which is convenient for disassembly and installation, and is convenient for cleaning and maintenance. In this embodiment, the mesh aperture of the upper net layer 31 is 80 - 100 meshes, which can effectively prevent the soot after the burning of wormwood from falling, ensuring the cleanliness and effect of fumigation; a cavity area is formed between the upper net layer 31 and the lower net layer 21, and the distance between the upper net layer 31 and the lower net layer 21 is 5 cm. A placement rack 32 for preventing the moxa stick is installed above the upper net layer 31, and a ring plate 33 is arranged at the top of the upper net layer 31. The placement rack 32 is fixedly installed on the ring plate 33.

[0031] The upper net layer 31 can hold wormwood or moxa floss. The wormwood can be inserted on the placement rack 32. After the wormwood or moxa floss is lit, the acupuncture points on the back of the horse are fumigated. The moxa smoke generated after the wormwood or moxa floss is lit can pass through the upper net layer 31 and the lower net layer 21 and act on the acupuncture points on the back of the horse, realizing the fumigation physiotherapy of the acupuncture points on the back of the horse. At the same time, the mesh holes of the upper net can prevent the soot after the wormwood burns from falling.

[0032] As Figure 4-6 shown, the medicine spraying unit includes a medicine liquid spray head 41, a medicine liquid tank 42 and a micro pump. The medicine liquid spray heads 41 are evenly distributed on the inner peripheral side of the U-shaped bottom frame 11 to ensure that the medicine liquid can be evenly sprayed on the back of the horse. The medicine liquid tank 42 and the micro pump are installed on the housing 1, and the medicine liquid spray heads 41 are connected to the medicine liquid tank 42 through pipelines. Through the medicine liquid spray heads 41, traditional Chinese medicine or medicinal wine and other medicine liquids can be sprayed on the back of the horse. The micro pump is signal-connected to the controller 5 and can control the spraying speed and dosage of the medicine liquid by the medicine liquid spray heads 41, improving the use efficiency of the medicine liquid.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, a controller 5 and a display screen 6 are installed on the housing 1. The controller 5 can integrally control the infrared physiotherapy unit 2, the fumigation unit 3 and the medicine spraying unit. The display screen 6 real-time displays the physiotherapy parameters and status. The operator can conveniently monitor and adjust the physiotherapy process. A power supply is also set on the housing 1, and the power supply provides energy for the whole device; A sensor unit is also arranged in the cavity area. The sensor unit is signal-connected to the controller 5. The sensor unit includes a temperature sensor and a camera probe. The temperature sensor can real-time monitor the temperature inside the housing 1 to ensure that the temperature of the infrared physiotherapy lamp 22 is within a safe range, and the physiotherapy situation of the back of the horse can be observed in real time through the camera probe to ensure the visualization and controllability of the physiotherapy process.

[0034] A flexible outer cover is also arranged on the outside of the housing 1. The flexible outer cover can completely cover and enclose the periphery of the housing 1, and a hanging cloth can also be connected to the bottom side of the flexible outer cover. The hanging cloth hangs down to the hoof part of the horse. Through the flexible outer cover, moxa smoke can be prevented from escaping from both sides of the housing 1, ensuring the fumigation effect.

[0035] When physiotherapy is carried out on the back of the horse, the housing 1 is firmly fixed on the back of the horse through the buckle belt 7. The cover plate 15 is opened to place wormwood or moxa floss on the upper net layer 31 and light it to generate moxa smoke. At the same time, the infrared physiotherapy lamp 22 is started to carry out physiotherapy on the back of the horse at the same time. The medicine spraying unit can also be started according to needs to spray medicine liquid on the back of the horse. This device can be used for the health care of horses before and after training and competitions, and can also be used to treat the lumbar and back sprains and rheumatism of horses, or for the daily health care of horses, and can also relieve the physical discomfort and stress reaction caused by horse transportation.

[0036] Preferably, considering that soot will be generated after the wormwood on the upper mesh layer 31 burns, it is necessary to regularly clean the soot on the upper mesh layer 31. It can be rather troublesome to disassemble the upper mesh layer 31 for cleaning. Therefore, a cleaning unit for cleaning the upper mesh layer 31 can also be provided, such as Figure 7-8 shown. The cleaning unit includes a cleaning nozzle 81, an air nozzle 82, a partition baffle 9 and a micro air pump. The cleaning nozzle 81 and the air nozzle 82 are evenly distributed on the inner bottom of the cover plate 15. A water pipe is provided on the outer top of the cover plate 15. The input ends of the respective cleaning nozzles 81 pass through the cover plate 15 and are connected to the water pipe, and the water pipe can be connected to an external water source. The air nozzle 82 is connected to the micro air pump through an air pipe, and the micro air pump can be arranged on the housing 1; and through holes are opened at the front and rear ends of the housing 1, and the baffle can be inserted into the through holes to isolate the upper mesh layer 31 and the lower mesh layer 21. The length of the baffle is greater than the length of the housing 1 to prevent possible damage to the infrared physiotherapy unit 2 when cleaning the upper mesh.

[0037] An inner groove 91 is formed inside the partition baffle 9, a sewage discharge port 94 is formed at one end of the partition baffle 9, and a push plate 92 is arranged at one end inside the partition baffle 9. The push plate 92 is slidably sleeved inside the partition baffle 9 through a push rod 93. The push plate 92 can move inside the inner groove 91 to clean the inner groove 91, and discharge the cleaning sewage in the inner groove 91 from the sewage discharge port 94.

[0038] When cleaning the upper mesh layer 31, the partition baffle 9 is fitted and sleeved in the through hole to separate between the upper mesh layer 31 and the lower mesh layer 21. The cleaning nozzle works to wash the upper mesh layer 31, and the cleaning sewage falls into the inner groove 91 of the baffle and is continuously discharged from the sewage discharge port 94. After the cleaning of the upper mesh is completed, the cleaning nozzle is closed, and the push rod 93 is pushed to control the push plate 92 to clean the remaining cleaning sewage in the inner groove 91 of the partition baffle 9, and then the upper mesh layer 31 can be air-dried through the air nozzle 82 to complete the cleaning of the upper mesh layer 31.

[0039] Preferably, in order to adapt to the physiotherapy of the backs of horses of different body types, an adjustment and adaptation component for adapting to the backs of horses can also be provided, such as Figure 9 shown. An annular airbag 10 is also installed on the inner shaft ring side of the U-shaped chassis 11. The annular airbag 10 is connected to the micro air pump. Through the expansion of the annular airbag 10, the U-shaped chassis 11 can be adapted to the backs of horses of different body types.

[0040] Embodiment 2. A physiotherapy device for the back of a horse in this embodiment will be described centering on the differences from those in Embodiment 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, considering that the liquid medicine nozzles 41 evenly distributed on the inner peripheral side of the U-shaped chassis 11 may not be able to completely cover and spray the back of the horse, a cross bar 14 is further connected to the center of the top of the U-shaped chassis 11, and a liquid medicine nozzle 41 is installed at the bottom of the cross bar 14 to achieve full coverage spraying of the back of the horse.

[0042] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
