Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and in particular to a fumigation device for traditional Chinese medicine skin treatment. Background Art

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine fumigation is a unique treatment method in TCM dermatology. Based on TCM's holistic approach and syndrome differentiation and treatment, it utilizes carefully selected herbs, such as Sophora flavescens, Phellodendron amurense, Kochia scoparia, and Dictamni cortex, that are known for their properties of clearing heat and dampness, dispelling wind and relieving itching, and detoxifying and reducing swelling, tailored to specific skin conditions. Formulas are formulated using a combination of monarch, minister, adjuvant, and guiding ingredients. During fumigation, the herbal vapors act directly on the skin's surface, creating a warm stimulation that dilates pores and promotes local blood circulation. The active ingredients are then absorbed through the skin, reaching the affected area. For itchy skin conditions like eczema and urticaria, fumigation can quickly relieve itching and reduce redness and swelling. For herpes zoster, it can promote the drying and scabbing of shingles and alleviate neuralgia. For psoriasis, it can improve scaling and erythema.

[0003] At the same time, the moisturizing effect of the medicinal vapor can soften keratin, enhance skin metabolism, and regulate skin immune function. The application of Traditional Chinese Medicine fumigation in dermatology fully leverages the advantages of TCM external treatment. It is safe and effective, and avoids the burden of oral medication on the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and kidneys, providing a green and efficient treatment option for patients with skin diseases.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown in , the present invention is a fumigation device for traditional Chinese medicine skin treatment, which is used for fumigation treatment of patients in traditional Chinese medicine dermatology departments. Generally, it includes a portable host 1 for containing medicinal liquid and generating medicinal liquid vapor, and a number of flexible silicone fumigation sheets 2 for covering the patient's skin. The portable host 1 adopts a miniaturized design, which is convenient for patients to carry. It can be hung around the neck through a belt body, or hung around the patient's waist through a belt body, or directly installed on the patient's belt (for example: a side wall of the housing 9 is provided with a buckle 21, which is clamped on the belt using the buckle 21). The silicone fumigation sheet 2 is connected to the portable host 1 through a steam pipe 3 to form a steam passage, and steam is transported through the steam pipe 3. In order to improve thermal insulation, the steam pipe 3 is provided with an insulating layer on the outer cover to prevent heat loss and condensation during steam transportation.

[0025] like Figure 2As shown in , the present invention is provided with a plurality of silicone fumigation sheets 2. In order to facilitate their combination and application, the plurality of silicone fumigation sheets 2 can be connected by Velcro or snap fasteners to form a temporary combination. The silicone fumigation sheet 2 has a hollow steam cavity 5 formed by two layers of diaphragms 4. In order to prevent heat from being lost from the outer diaphragm 4, the inner surface of a layer of diaphragm 4 located on the inner side of the silicone fumigation sheet 2 of the present invention is provided with a reflective layer 8. A plurality of convex tubes 6 are evenly arranged on the inner diaphragm 4 of the silicone fumigation sheet 2. The convex tubes 6 are connected to the inside of the steam cavity 5 and have an outlet 7 for steam discharge. When the silicone fumigation sheet 2 is covered on the outside of the patient's skin, support is formed by the convex tubes 6 to form a fumigation area between the patient's skin and the silicone fumigation sheet 2. In order to ensure the stability of the fumigation area, as Figure 2 As shown, the convex tube 6 includes a short convex tube and a long convex tube. The air outlet 7 of the short convex tube is located at the end of the tube body, and the air outlet 7 of the long convex tube is located on both sides of the middle section of the tube body.

[0026] During use of the present invention, a medicinal liquid is added to the portable host 1, and the portable host 1 generates medicinal liquid vapor, which is transported to the silica gel fumigation sheet 2 through the steam pipe 3 and discharged from the convex tube 6 to the fumigation area between the patient's skin. Since the silica gel fumigation sheet 2 of the present invention is in direct and close contact with the patient's skin, the heat in the vapor can be effectively transferred to the patient's skin, thereby improving the fumigation effect; supported by the convex tube 6, a fumigation area can be formed, which facilitates the uniform distribution of vapor in the affected area and sufficient contact with the patient's skin, further ensuring the therapeutic effect. In addition, the silica gel fumigation sheet 2 of the present invention can be folded arbitrarily for easy storage, and can be laid (trunk skin) or wrapped (limbs skin) as needed, making it extremely flexible to use.

[0027] The portable host 1 of the present invention comprises a housing 9, the top of which is provided with a steam port 10 for connecting to the steam pipe 3. The steam port 10 is configured for quick connection to the steam pipe 3. The interior of the housing 9 is divided from top to bottom by a mesh plate 11 and a partition 12 into a steam storage chamber 13, a heating chamber 14, and a battery chamber 15.

[0028] The present invention does not directly contact the heating device with the liquid medicine during heating to prevent the formation of scabs, dirt precipitation and other phenomena during long-term use. Instead, a vertical heating tube 16 is provided in the center of the heating chamber 14, combined with the Figure 1 and 3 As shown in FIG, the heating tube 16 is electrically connected to a rechargeable battery 17 installed in the battery cavity 15 .

[0029] A U-shaped liquid storage box 18 is also provided within the heating chamber 14. This box 18 is inserted into the heating chamber 14 through an installation opening on the back of the housing 9. The inner panel of the box 18 is a metal heat-conducting plate 19, which surrounds the heating tube 16 and conducts heat to the heating tube 16. During use, the box 18 is inserted into the heating chamber 14 to connect the box 18 to the metal heat-conducting plate 19. Heat from the heating tube 16 is transferred through the metal heat-conducting plate 19 to the liquid medicine in the box 18, causing it to heat up and evaporate.

[0030] In order to further improve the effect of evaporation and atomization, an ultrasonic atomizer 20 is also embedded in the bottom of the liquid storage box 18. The connection terminal of the ultrasonic atomizer 20 extends to the bottom of the liquid storage box 18 and is opposite to the conductive sheet embedded in the surface of the partition 12. The conductive sheet is electrically connected to the battery 17. After the liquid storage box 18 is inserted, the power supply of the ultrasonic atomizer 20 is automatically turned on and can be started by the switch provided on the outer shell 9. A liquid level sensor for detecting the liquid level height of the liquid in the liquid storage box 18 is also provided in the heating chamber 14. The liquid level sensor is connected to the control unit (single-chip microcomputer) to feed back liquid level information thereto, and the single-chip microcomputer is used to control the operation of the heating tube 16, the ultrasonic atomizer 20, etc.

[0031] Regarding the quick connection method of the steam pipe 3 of the present invention, on the one hand, it is necessary to ensure the smoothness and stability of the connection, and on the other hand, it is necessary to realize the automatic closure of the steam interface 10 when the steam pipe 3 is removed. Figure 4 As shown in FIG, the steam interface 10 includes a mouthpiece 22. An elastic valve 23 for indexing the mouthpiece 22 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 9 corresponding to the inner end of the mouthpiece 22. A pressure plate 24 is provided on the circumference of the steam pipe 3 near the mouthpiece 22. A threaded cap 25 is provided on the outside of the pressure plate 24, which cooperates with the mouthpiece 22. The pressure plate 24 is pressed against the mouthpiece 22 via the threaded cap 25.

[0032] A splice 26 is located below the pressure plate 24 and connects to the steam pipe 3. Openings are provided at the lower end and sidewalls of the splice 26. The splice 26 can push open the elastic valve 23 and extend into the steam storage chamber 13, establishing communication between the steam pipe 3 and the steam storage chamber 13. When the splice 26 is removed (i.e., when the steam pipe 3 is no longer installed), the elastic valve 23 automatically returns to its original position under the action of its elastic force, quickly sealing the corresponding steam port 10.
