Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy instruments, and particularly relates to a heat - resistant portable moxibustion box. Background Art
[0002] As the core medium of external treatment methods in traditional Chinese medicine, moxa cones are refined with moxa floss as the main raw material, and the heat generated by controlled combustion stimulates body surface acupoints and specific parts. Guided by the theory of "what acupuncture cannot do, moxibustion can do" in Huangdi Neijing, this therapy has been inherited and developed with the compound effects of warming meridians and dispelling cold, promoting qi and dredging collaterals, and removing toxins and reducing heat. With the promulgation and implementation of the "Moxibustion Technology Operation Specification" in 2025 by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a major breakthrough has been achieved in the standardized operation and curative effect evaluation system of moxibustion therapy, laying a technical foundation for the modern transformation of this therapy in the era of precision medicine.
[0003] There are two significant problems in the current use of moxibustion devices: 1. The ash and aerosol generated by the combustion of moxa cones adhere to the inner wall for a long time, and the existing moxibustion boxes usually have a very deep cylinder, making it difficult to clean the accumulated ash, resulting in a decline in curative effect; 2. The existing moxibustion boxes usually have an ash - receiving net inside the cylinder. Although the mesh holes transfer temperature, it is also a defect that ash is likely to fall off when shaken, posing a risk of skin burns.
[0004] Existing moxa cones are basically made by compressing loose moxa floss into a column with paper, which is convenient for holding by hand or inserting into moxibustion tools. However, it should be noted that during the combustion process of moxa cones, they should be kept stationary to avoid the falling of burning ash due to movement, thus posing a risk of skin burns.
[0005] Therefore, it is a market demand to develop a portable moxibustion box that has ash isolation and heat - resistant functions. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a heat - resistant portable moxibustion box.
[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a heat-insulating portable moxibustion box, which includes a temperature-controlled combustion module for burning moxa cones. The temperature-controlled combustion module includes a temperature-controlled housing, a combustion chamber arranged inside the temperature-controlled housing, and a heat-insulating base for placing moxa cones inside the combustion chamber. The heat-insulating base includes a heat-insulating base cylinder integrally formed by copper foil. The cylinder wall of the heat-insulating base cylinder is provided with honeycomb-shaped ignition holes. The heat-insulating base cylinder is used to wrap the moxa cone and restrain the ashes generated after burning the moxa cone. By using a heat-insulating base cylinder integrally formed by copper foil, the melting point of copper foil is as high as 1083°C. When the moxa cone burns, the central temperature usually does not exceed 500 - 600°C. The heat-insulating base cylinder only softens under this temperature but does not melt, forming a stable metal skeleton to wrap the moxa cone. Even if the internal moxa floss burns and carbonizes, the external copper foil can still maintain its structural strength, avoiding the scattering of ashes. At the same time, honeycomb-shaped ignition holes are opened on the cylinder wall of the heat-insulating base cylinder. While optimizing the combustion airflow, a physical barrier is formed to ensure that the ashes are constrained inside the base and will not fall even when moved or tilted, eliminating the risk of skin burns.
[0008] In some embodiments, the combustion chamber includes an inner combustion chamber shell arranged inside the temperature-controlled housing. The inner combustion chamber shell includes a ventilation top plate with a plurality of ventilation holes at the top. The heat-insulating base further includes a ventilation seat with a plurality of ventilation holes fixed on the ventilation top plate, and a fixing needle extending downward and fixed on the ventilation seat. The fixing needle can be inserted into the center of the moxa cone to fix the moxa cone. The heat-insulating base cylinder is threadedly rotatably connected to the ventilation seat through a threaded interface.
[0009] In some embodiments, the temperature-controlled combustion module further includes a filtering device arranged between the side wall of the inner combustion chamber shell and the side wall of the temperature-controlled housing, and a blower arranged above the combustion chamber. An exhaust hole is opened above the side wall of the temperature-controlled housing, and the exhaust hole is communicated with the filtering device.
[0010] In some embodiments, the filtering device includes a ceramic fiber heat-insulating layer arranged between the side wall of the inner combustion chamber shell and the side wall of the temperature-controlled housing.
[0011] In some embodiments, the temperature-controlled combustion module further includes an ignition device facing the heat-insulating base cylinder.
[0012] In some embodiments, the temperature-controlled combustion module further includes a temperature sensor arranged on the inner wall of the inner combustion chamber shell, and the temperature sensor is controllably connected to the blower.
[0013] In some embodiments, the moxibustion box further includes a control module for controlling the ignition circuit. The control module is electrically connected to the ignition device, the filtering device, and the blower.
[0014] In some embodiments, the moxibustion box further includes an output module disposed in the housing and connected to the lower output end of the temperature control combustion module and facing the moxibustion site. The output module includes an output housing, and the output housing is rotationally snap-connected to the temperature control housing.
[0015] In some embodiments, the output housing and the temperature control housing are coaxially provided with a rotation positioning boss and a groove on the corresponding end faces; at least two groups of radial protrusions are circumferentially distributed on the outer side of the boss, and an adapted card slot is correspondingly provided on the inner side of the groove, and the snap-fit is realized through the rotation angle limit.
[0016] In some embodiments, strap fixing seats are provided on opposite sides of the outer wall of the bottom of the output housing, and straps passing through the corresponding strap fixing seats.
[0017] The scope of the present invention is not limited to the technical solutions formed by the specific combination of the above technical features, and should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features. For example, technical solutions formed by mutually replacing the above features with (but not limited to) technical features having similar functions disclosed in the present application, etc.
[0018] Due to the application of the above technical solutions, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art: The present invention provides a scald-proof portable moxibustion box, which adopts a scald-proof base cylinder integrally formed by copper foil. The melting point of the copper foil is as high as 1083 °C. When the moxa stick burns, the central temperature usually does not exceed 500 - 600 °C. The scald-proof base cylinder is only heated and softened but not melted at this temperature, forming a stable metal skeleton to wrap the moxa stick. Even if the internal moxa floss burns and carbonizes, the external copper foil can still maintain the structural strength, avoiding the scattering of ashes. At the same time, honeycomb-shaped ignition holes are opened on the barrel wall of the scald-proof base cylinder. While optimizing the combustion air flow, a physical barrier is formed to ensure that the ashes are confined in the cylinder and will not fall even when moved or tilted, eliminating the risk of skin burns.

[0020] As shown in the attached drawings, a portable anti-scald moxibustion box includes a control module 2, a temperature-controlled combustion module 1, and an output module 3 from top to bottom.
[0021] The temperature-controlled combustion module 1 is a temperature-controlled combustion module 1 for burning moxa sticks. As Figure 4 shown, the temperature-controlled combustion module 1 includes a temperature-controlled housing 11, a combustion chamber 12 arranged in the temperature-controlled housing 11, and an anti-scald base 13 arranged in the combustion chamber 12 for placing moxa sticks.
[0022] The temperature-controlled combustion module 1 further includes a filter device 14 arranged between the side wall of the inner combustion chamber shell 121 and the side wall of the temperature-controlled housing 11, and a blower 15 arranged above the combustion chamber 12. An exhaust hole 111 is opened above the side wall of the temperature-controlled housing 11, and the exhaust hole 111 is connected to the filter device 14. The filter device 14 includes a ceramic fiber heat insulation layer arranged between the side wall of the inner combustion chamber shell 121 and the side wall of the temperature-controlled housing 11, which can filter the fine particles generated by the combustion of moxa floss and reduce the irritation of the smoke.
[0023] The anti-scald base 13 includes an anti-scald base cylinder 131 integrally formed by copper foil. The cylinder wall of the anti-scald base cylinder 131 is provided with honeycomb-shaped ignition holes. The anti-scald base cylinder 131 is used to wrap the moxa stick and restrain the ash generated after burning the moxa stick. The anti-scald base cylinder is integrally formed by copper foil. The melting point of copper foil is as high as 1083°C. When the moxa stick burns, the central temperature usually does not exceed 500 - 600°C. The anti-scald base cylinder only softens but does not melt at this temperature, forming a stable metal skeleton to wrap the moxa stick. Even if the internal moxa floss burns and carbonizes and loses its cohesion, the external copper foil can still maintain the structural strength and maintain the overall shape through mechanical fixation, similar to the "metal mesh bag" effect, avoiding the scattering of ash. At the same time, the cylinder wall of the anti-scald base cylinder is provided with honeycomb-shaped ignition holes, which optimize the combustion airflow and form a physical barrier to ensure that the ash is restrained inside the base and will not fall even when moved or tilted, eliminating the risk of skin burns.
[0024] As Figure 3 shown, the temperature-controlled combustion module 1 further includes an ignition device 16 directly facing the honeycomb-shaped ignition holes of the anti-scald base cylinder 131.
[0025] As Figure 5As shown, the combustion chamber 12 includes an inner combustion chamber shell 121 disposed within the temperature control housing 11. The inner combustion chamber shell 121 includes a ventilation top plate 121a at the top with a plurality of ventilation holes. The anti-scald base 13 further includes a ventilation seat 132 fixed to the ventilation top plate 121a and having a plurality of ventilation holes, and a fixing pin 133 extending downward and fixed to the ventilation seat 132. The arrangement of the ventilation holes facilitates air convection. The fixing pin 133 can be inserted into the moxa stick for fixation. After the moxa stick is loaded into the anti-scald base cylinder 131, it is threadedly rotatably connected to the ventilation seat 132 through a threaded interface, ensuring that the fixing pin 133 and the moxa stick are both located within the anti-scald base cylinder 131.
[0026] The temperature control combustion module 1 further includes a temperature sensor disposed on the inner wall of the inner combustion chamber shell 121, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the blower 15.
[0027] As Figure 2 shown, the moxibustion box further includes a control module 2 for controlling the ignition circuit and disposed above the temperature control combustion module 1. The control module 2 is electrically connected to the ignition device 16, the filtering device 14, and the blower 15. The control module 2 is provided with a start key, a time and air volume control key, and a display screen; the display screen mainly provides system status, user data, and dynamic feedback.
[0028] The moxibustion box further includes an output module 3 connected to the output end below the temperature control combustion module 1 and facing the moxibustion part. The output module 3 includes an output housing 31, and the output housing 31 is rotationally snap-connected to the temperature control housing 11.
[0029] The output housing 31 and the corresponding end face of the temperature control housing 11 are coaxially provided with a rotation positioning boss and a groove; two groups of radial protrusions are circumferentially distributed on the outer side of the boss, and corresponding fitting slots are provided on the inner side of the groove, and the snap-fit is achieved through rotational angle limitation.
[0030] As Figure 1 shown, on the opposite sides of the bottom outer wall of the output housing 31, there are strap fixing seats 4 and straps 5 passing through the corresponding strap fixing seats 4. During use, the moxibustion box is tied to the position where moxibustion is needed with the straps 5, and the bottom of the output housing 31 faces the moxibustion part.
[0031] During actual use, first place the moxa stick into the anti-scald base cylinder 131, then rotate and fix the anti-scald base cylinder 131 to the fixing cylinder on the fixing pin. Then rotate and install the output module 3. Long-press the power-on button for 2 seconds to control the display screen to turn on. Then press the power-on button to cyclically select any gear (the gear is divided into two gears). Then long-press the ignition button for 2 seconds. At this time, the ignition device 16, the moxibustion igniter, ignites for 5 seconds, and at the same time the blower starts to work, and the moxibustion function starts. When it is necessary to clean the burned-out moxa stick, first rotate and remove the combustion chamber, and directly take out the anti-scald base cylinder 131 to replace it with a new moxa stick to perform new moxibustion.
[0032] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical concept and features of the present invention. The purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and it should not be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
