Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of moxibustion devices, and particularly to a moxibustion device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, there are two characteristic external treatment methods on the market. One is the Hor Mai therapy of Tibetan medicine in China, and the other is the herbal compress massage therapy in Thailand. Among them, in the Hor Mai therapy, after wrapping the medicinal materials (herbs, traditional Chinese medicines, Tibetan medicines, etc.) with cloth and tying them up, they are placed in heated butter and soaked until the overall temperature rises. Then, the operator holds the medicine bag by hand or uses a clamp to pick up the medicine bag and touches and presses the specified acupoints / parts of the patient; in the herbal compress massage therapy in Thailand, after wrapping the medicinal materials (herbs, traditional Chinese medicines, etc.) with cloth and tying them up, they are steamed with water. After the whole is soaked with water vapor and the temperature rises, the operator holds the medicine bag and massages the acupoints / parts of the patient.

[0003] The temperature of the medicine bags in these two therapies cannot be accurately controlled. If the temperature is too high, it will scald the patient and the operator. If the temperature is too low, it will not achieve the therapeutic effect. Moreover, the temperature of the medicine bag will significantly decrease after being used for a few minutes, and the liquid in the medicine bag will also significantly decrease, resulting in a significant reduction in the moxibustion effect. Therefore, during a treatment process, it is necessary to heat and moisten on an electric heater multiple times, and the operation is complex.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a moxibustion device that can continuously heat, continuously provide moisture, and adjust the temperature. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Aiming at the defects in the prior art, the present invention provides a moxibustion device to solve the defects in the related art.

[0006] The present invention specifically adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The moxibustion device of the present invention includes a main body and a hot compress device. It is characterized in that the main body contains a cavity that can hold liquid medicine, water, oil, etc. The hot compress device has pores through which the liquid in the cavity can flow down. There is an electric heater in the hot compress device. After power is supplied to the hot compress device, its overall temperature will rise, and the liquid will also be heated during the process of flowing down. The end face of the hot compress device is applied to the patient's skin for hot moxibustion on the patient, and the liquid flowing down from above the main body is evenly dispersed in cooperation with the hot compress device.

[0008] As a further preference of the present invention, the main body comprises a base and a detachable tube, which are connected by threads. A rubber seal is arranged at the port of the detachable tube. The hot compresser comprises a convex head. During the screwing-in process of the detachable tube, the convex head will pierce the rubber seal at the port position of the detachable tube, and then the liquid can flow downward along the pores of the hot compresser. At the same time, the heat of the hot compresser will be transferred to the upper liquid along the convex head part, playing a role in preheating the liquid. A power cord needs to be led out from the base. After the detachable tube is installed, the power cord can be led upward along the wire groove of the detachable tube.

[0009] As a further preference of the present invention, a spring, a spring post and a plug are installed below the hot compresser. The plug is fixed to the hot compresser (the fixing method is not mandatory, and glue fixing, screw fixing, etc. are all acceptable). In the natural state, the spring post seals the outlet of the pores in the hot compresser to ensure that the liquid will not flow downward. When performing moxibustion therapy on a patient, the appliance presses on the skin, the spring post is pushed up, and the liquid can flow down from the gap between the spring post and the hot compresser.

[0010] As a further preference of the present invention, a medicine bag is placed below the hot compresser, and then a disposable cloth cover is used to wrap the medicine bag. A stretchable band is provided at the boundary of the disposable cloth cover, which can encircle the hot compresser so that the disposable cloth cover can be fixed on the hot compresser.

[0011] As a further preference of the present invention, the medicine bag can be omitted, and a disposable cloth cover can be directly put on the hot compresser. At this time, the disposable cloth cover can prevent cross-infection between patients and can absorb the liquid to maintain the wetness of the end face of the hot compresser.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0013] 1. Heat moxibustion promotes the absorption of the liquid by the skin, and heat moxibustion itself can also achieve a therapeutic effect. The dual effects of heat moxibustion and the liquid simulate the traditional Holmotherapy and the herbal bag massage therapy in Thailand. During the treatment process, the temperature of the hot compresser can be adjusted to an appropriate value to ensure the treatment effect without scalding the patient and the operator. The hot compresser can always maintain an appropriate temperature, and the end face of the hot compresser always remains wet, improving the curative effect. During the treatment process, there is no need to pause the treatment, and there is no need to take it out and place it in a separate electric heater such as an alcohol lamp furnace for heating multiple times like in traditional therapies, making the operation very convenient.

[0014] 2. After the detachable tube is filled with the liquid medicine (or oil), it can be sold separately as a consumable. The continuous sale of consumables can bring long-term revenue to the company and can also become a marketing point for health preservation halls.

[0015] 3. For the operator, the present invention allows the direct use of medicated liquid without placing a medicine bag, making the operation simpler. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] The following will describe in detail the embodiments of the technical solutions of the present invention with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and thus are only examples and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] It should be noted that unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the ordinary meanings understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0026] Embodiment 1

[0027] The moxibustion device of the present invention includes a main body 1 and a hot compress device 2. The main body 1 contains a cavity that can hold liquid medicine, water, oil, etc. The hot compress device 2 has pores 202 through which the liquid in the cavity can flow down. The pores 202 can be circular, rectangular or other shapes, and can be single or multiple. The present disclosure does not intend to make any limitation in this regard. There is an electric heater in the hot compress device 2. It can be that the electric heater is attached to the hot compress device, or the heating wire is integrated in the hot compress device (for example, the heating wire is placed in advance when the hot compress device is cast). After power is supplied to the hot compress device 2, its overall temperature will rise, and the liquid flowing down will also be heated. During use, the operator holds the moxibustion device and performs moxibustion on the designated acupoints or parts of the patient. The end face of the hot compress device 2 is attached to the patient's skin to perform heat moxibustion on the patient, and the liquid above the main body 1 is evenly dispersed after flowing down to cooperate with the hot compress device 2.

[0028] After adopting the above technical solution: Heat moxibustion promotes the absorption of the liquid by the skin, and heat moxibustion itself can also achieve a therapeutic effect. The dual effects of heat moxibustion and the liquid simulate the traditional Holme therapy and the Thai herbal compress massage therapy. During the treatment process, the temperature of the hot compress device can be adjusted to an appropriate value to ensure the therapeutic effect and not scald the patient and the operator. The hot compress device can always maintain an appropriate temperature, and the end face of the hot compress device always remains wet, improving the therapeutic effect. There is no need to pause the treatment during the treatment process, and there is no need to take it out and heat it in a separate electric heater such as an alcohol lamp furnace multiple times like in traditional therapies, and the operation is very convenient.

[0029] Embodiment 2

[0030] This embodiment is a further optimization based on Embodiment 1 as follows: The main body 1 includes a base 101 and a detachable tube 102, which are connected by threads. A rubber seal is arranged at the port of the detachable tube 102. The hot compresser 2 includes a convex head 201. During the screwing-in process of the detachable tube 102, the convex head 201 will pierce the rubber seal at the port position of the detachable tube 102, and then the liquid can flow downward along the pores of the hot compresser 2. At the same time, the heat of the hot compresser 2 will be transmitted to the upper liquid along the convex head 201 part, playing a role in initially heating the liquid. The convex head 201 can be a part of the hot compresser 2 or exist alone as a component. The present invention does not intend to limit this. When it exists alone, it should be able to fit with the hot compresser 2 to transfer the heat of the hot compresser 2 or itself integrate a heating component alone. A power cord 3 needs to be led out from the base 101. After the detachable tube 102 is installed, the power cord 3 can be led upward along the wire groove of the detachable tube 102. Below the hot compresser 2, a spring 8, a spring post 6, and a plug 7 are installed. Among them, the plug 7 is fixed to the hot compresser 2, and glue fixation, screw fixation, etc. are all possible. The present invention does not intend to limit this. In the natural state, the spring post 7 blocks the outlet of the pores in the hot compresser 2 to ensure that the liquid will not flow downward. When performing moxibustion therapy on a patient, the device presses on the skin, the spring post 6 is pushed up, and the liquid can flow down from the gap between the spring post 6 and the hot compresser 2. A medicine bag 5 is placed below the hot compresser 2, and then a disposable cloth cover 4 is used to hold the medicine bag 5. Among them, there is an elastic band 401 around the boundary of the disposable cloth cover 4, which can circle the hot compresser 2 so that the disposable cloth cover 4 can be fixed on the hot compresser 2.

[0031] After adopting the above technical solution: After the detachable tube 102 is filled with liquid medicine (or oil), it can be sold separately as a consumable, which can become a marketing point for health preservation halls. The hot compresser 2 can preheat the upper liquid with the help of the convex head 201, which can ensure that the temperature of the liquid is not too low when it contacts the human skin after flowing down. And for animal fats such as clarified butter, preheating can keep it in a liquid state and maintain sufficient fluidity to flow downward. During non-moxibustion therapy, the liquid will not flow out automatically, causing pollution and waste. The hot compresser 2 heats the medicine bag 5 and then treats the patient. This method is closer to traditional therapies and can better maintain the curative effect of traditional therapies. The liquid can continuously moisten the medicine bag 5 during moxibustion therapy, and the medicine bag 5 can continuously be heated by the hot compresser 2 to maintain the temperature, which enables moxibustion therapy to continuously maintain a high curative effect without interruption.

[0032] Embodiment 3

[0033] This embodiment makes changes based on Embodiment 2 as follows: Do not put the medicine bag 5, and directly put a disposable cloth cover 4 on the hot compresser 2. At this time, the role of the disposable cloth cover 4 is to prevent cross-infection between patients and be able to absorb the liquid to maintain the wetness of the end face of the hot compresser 2.

[0034] After adopting the above technical solution: For the operator, it is more straightforward to use the medicated liquid directly without placing a medicine pack, making the operation simpler. At the same time, it can also be applied to some treatment situations that only require hot compress, increasing the flexibility of the instrument's use.
