Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, specifically to an ear massage red light moxibustion device. Background Technology

[0002] Using auricular acupoints for healthcare is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, with a history of over 2000 years in my country. The auricle is like an inverted human body, connected to the five internal organs and six bowels. Twelve meridians directly or indirectly reach the ear. Because of this close connection between the ear and the meridians and internal organs, any disease in the body can be reflected in the corresponding area of ​​the auricle through the meridians. Therefore, by appropriately stimulating these relevant auricular acupoints, including through moxibustion, the flow of qi and blood through the meridians leading to the affected area can be improved, thus achieving the purpose of disease prevention.

[0003] Currently, in clinical practice, moxibustion treatment for the ear often involves suspending a lit moxa stick in the air to heat various acupoints on the ear, allowing the medicinal heat to produce a therapeutic effect on the local area. This requires practitioners to have a high level of skill and rich experience. If the operation is not done properly, it can easily burn the patient's ear and may even cause serious consequences such as hearing loss. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides an ear massage and red light moxibustion device. It generates heat through an infrared heating module and transfers it to the ear. Working in conjunction with a control module, it achieves intelligent temperature control, thereby achieving significant therapeutic effects. Specific implementation details are as follows: An ear massage red light moxibustion device includes a moxibustion device having a heat-concentrating chamber for focusing and conducting heat to the ear treatment area. An infrared heating module is installed on the moxibustion device. The infrared heating module is used to emit far-infrared rays of a predetermined wavelength range to acupoints on the ear to achieve thermal stimulation therapy. An adsorption module is located on the side of the moxibustion device near the ear, which is used to adsorb the moxibustion device onto the skin surface of the ear through a controllable negative pressure adsorption effect. The positioning assistance module, corresponding to acupoints on the ear, is located in the heat-gathering chamber. The positioning assistance module includes a flexible guide post, a flexible connecting device, and a magnetic component. The magnetic component includes an electromagnet mounted on the flexible connecting device and a patch applied to the acupoint on the ear. The patch is magnetic and attracts the electromagnet to achieve positioning and fixation of the acupoint. The control module is electrically connected to the infrared heating module, the adsorption module, and the positioning auxiliary module, respectively. The control module is used to adjust the temperature of the infrared heating module.

[0005] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the infrared heating module includes a single or multiple layers of graphene film, an electrode, and two insulating films. The electrode is disposed at the edge of the graphene film, and the graphene film and the electrode are sandwiched between the two insulating films.

[0006] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the infrared heating module is fixedly connected to the moxibustion device through a heat insulation layer, the heat insulation layer having the function of reflecting far-infrared rays.

[0007] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the infrared heating module is arranged in a circle along the inner edge of the heat-concentrating chamber.

[0008] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the adsorption module includes a suction cup body, which is disposed on the moxibustion device and the moxibustion device is adsorbed onto the skin surface of the ear by a vacuuming device. The degassing action is completed by a pressure regulating device. The suction cup body is connected to the vacuuming device and the pressure regulating device through pipelines.

[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the suction cup body includes an adsorption shell with an adsorption cavity and an adsorption column sleeved on the adsorption shell. An air valve is provided between the adsorption column and the adsorption shell. The air valve is movably disposed within the suction cup body and forms an adsorption channel. The adsorption channel is connected to the vacuum device through a pipeline.

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the adsorption module also includes a pressure sensor and a one-way valve. The pressure sensor and the one-way valve are both located on the inlet pipe of the adsorption module. The pressure sensor is arranged adjacent to the adsorption module and communicates with the adsorption channel.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the air valve is conical in shape, the adsorption cavity of the adsorption housing matches the shape of the air valve, and an elastic valve is provided circumferentially on the outer wall of the air valve, the edge of the elastic valve abutting against the inner wall of the adsorption housing.

[0012] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the pressure regulating device includes a housing with a movable cavity and a driving element. The housing has an air inlet and an air outlet, both of which are connected to the movable cavity. A cover is movably provided inside the movable cavity, and an exhaust port is provided on the cover. Under the action of the driving element, the cover is moved along the movable cavity, thereby controlling the exhaust volume of the exhaust port per unit time.

[0013] As a further embodiment of the present invention, multiple exhaust ports are provided, and the multiple exhaust ports are arranged sequentially along the moving direction of the cover.

[0014] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. Compared with traditional moxibustion and fumigation methods, this invention is safer, avoiding burns caused by improper operation when burning moxa sticks suspended in the air to fumigate various acupoints on the ears. The control module precisely controls the temperature of the infrared heating module, which helps the far-infrared radiation to the treatment area, thereby improving the treatment effect. 2. This invention uses an electromagnet on a flexible guide post to magnetically attach a patch to an acupoint on the ear, which helps the operator to more accurately locate and fix the patch to a specific acupoint on the ear, avoiding positioning errors caused by lack of experience and further improving the positioning accuracy of the moxibustion device. 3. By setting a low negative pressure mode with point suction, this invention applies the moxibustion device to ear treatment, ensuring that the moxibustion device acts more stably on specific acupoints or treatment areas, without causing pressure or compression on the skin and tissues during treatment, thereby improving the user experience and comfort of the moxibustion device.

[0017] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples: It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the accompanying drawings of this specification are only used to complement the content disclosed in the specification, so that those skilled in the art can understand and read them, and are not intended to limit the conditions under which the present invention can be implemented. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportions, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and objectives that the present invention can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the present invention.

[0018] Furthermore, the terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Any changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of the invention.

[0019] This invention provides an ear massage and red light moxibustion device, a TCM therapeutic instrument developed based on the theory of treating internal diseases externally. It integrates infrared heat energy, magnetic field, and red light technology. Combined with warming, unblocking, and nourishing Yang, and in conjunction with warm scraping, pushing, and moxibustion treatments on meridians and acupoints, it helps to detoxify and remove blood stasis, dispel cold and dampness, clear blocked meridians, and replenish deficient Yang Qi. As the saying goes, "all diseases originate from blood stasis," maintaining unobstructed meridians and sufficient Yang Qi strengthens the body's immunity.

[0020] Combination Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the present invention includes a moxibustion device 100, an infrared heating module, an adsorption module 17, a positioning auxiliary module 6, and a control module. The moxibustion device 100 has a heat-concentrating chamber 5 for concentrating and conducting heat to the ear treatment area; the infrared heating module is disposed on the moxibustion device 100, and is used to emit far-infrared rays of a predetermined wavelength range to the ear acupoints to achieve warm stimulation therapy; the adsorption module 17 is disposed on the side of the moxibustion device 100 near the ear, and is used to adsorb the moxibustion device 100 onto the ear skin surface through controllable negative pressure adsorption; the positioning auxiliary module 6... The positioning assistance module 6 is located inside the heat-gathering chamber 5, corresponding to the acupoints on the ear. The positioning assistance module 6 includes a flexible guide post 601, a flexible connecting device, and a magnetic component. The magnetic component includes an electromagnet 607 mounted on the flexible connecting device and a patch 300 applied to the acupoint on the ear. The patch 300 is magnetic and attracts the electromagnet 607 to achieve positioning and fixation of the acupoint. The control module is electrically connected to the infrared heating module, the adsorption module 17, and the positioning assistance module 6, respectively. The control module is used to adjust the temperature of the infrared heating module.

[0021] Specifically, the moxibustion device 100 utilizes an infrared heating module to generate heat and emits far-infrared rays within a predetermined wavelength range towards acupoints on the ear. This radiation is beneficial to the human body, providing gentle yet effective thermal stimulation therapy, helping to promote blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and unblock meridians, thus achieving the purpose of disease prevention and treatment. Based on this, combined with a control module, precise temperature adjustment of the infrared heating module can be achieved. Specifically, the control module includes a temperature sensor, a microprocessor, a drive circuit, a thermostat, and a display module 500. The temperature sensor, an NTC thermistor, is integrated within the heat-gathering chamber 5 and located near the infrared heating module. It is responsible for converting the detected temperature into an electrical signal and transmitting it to the microprocessor for processing. The temperature sensor monitors the actual temperature of the heat-gathering chamber 5 in real time. The microprocessor receives data from the temperature sensor, calculates and controls according to the set target temperature, and then controls the power output of the infrared heating module through the drive circuit. Meanwhile, the data calculated by the infrared heating module is sent to the control module in real time, and the current temperature can be displayed on the display module 500. The display module 500 can also be equipped with input and confirmation modules to allow the operator to adjust information such as temperature settings and remaining time. In addition, the thermostat is existing technology and usually adopts a PID (proportional-integral-derivative) control algorithm, which can quickly respond to temperature changes and maintain temperature stability, thereby ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the treatment process.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the moxibustion device 100 is equipped with a power supply module to provide power to the infrared heating module, the adsorption module 17, the positioning auxiliary module 6, and the control module. The moxibustion device 100 also has a reserved charging interface 8, which is a USB interface, providing a standardized and convenient charging method for the power supply module. The power supply module can identify whether the USB charging interface is connected and automatically switch to charging mode according to the connection status. When the power supply module detects that the USB interface is connected to an external power source, it receives power through the USB interface and charges the battery.

[0023] In the above scheme, combined with Figure 9 As shown, the infrared heating module includes a single or multiple layers of graphene film 20, electrodes, and two insulating films. The electrodes are located at the edges of the graphene film 20, and the graphene film 20 and electrodes are sandwiched between the two insulating films. The infrared heating module uses the graphene film 20 as the heating element, and electrode areas are reserved at both ends of the graphene film 2002, which are then connected to the power circuit using conductive adhesive. To ensure effective heat radiation and air circulation, a perforated front cover 21 is installed on the heat-gathering chamber 5. The front cover 21 is securely installed on the heat-gathering chamber 5 using bolts or other fasteners. This front cover 21 not only fixes the infrared heating module but also ensures that the heat can directly act on the ear skin.

[0024] In the above scheme, the infrared heating module is fixedly connected to the moxibustion device 100 through a heat insulation layer, which has the function of reflecting far-infrared rays. The heat insulation layer is made of a material that reflects far-infrared rays, and the far-infrared rays radiated by the infrared heating film block towards the inner wall of the heat-gathering chamber 5 are reflected inward, which can not only further improve the heating efficiency and physiotherapy effect, but also reduce the heat absorption of the inner wall of the heat-gathering chamber 5.

[0025] In the above scheme, the infrared heating module is arranged in a ring around the inner edge of the heat-gathering chamber 5. The infrared heating module has a ring structure. Based on the shape and size of the heat-gathering chamber 5, the required graphene film size is measured and marked. A layer of conductive adhesive is evenly coated on the inner wall of the heat-gathering chamber 5, and the graphene film with an insulating film is firmly adhered to the inside of the heat-gathering chamber 5. The graphene is arranged in a ring around the circumference of the heat-gathering chamber 5. This ring-shaped arrangement ensures that heat radiates to the acupoint area of ​​the ear from multiple directions, avoiding localized overheating or cold areas. It also concentrates heat inside the heat-gathering chamber 5, reducing outward diffusion. Utilizing the "cavity heat concentration" effect, the heat is more concentrated on the target area, thereby improving the therapeutic effect.

[0026] To ensure that the moxibustion device 100 acts more stably on specific acupoints or treatment areas, an adsorption module 17 is integrated into the moxibustion device 100, combined with... Figure 2As shown, the adsorption module 17 includes a suction cup body, which is disposed on the moxibustion device 100. The moxibustion device 100 is adsorbed onto the skin surface of the ear by the vacuuming device 11. The degassing action is completed by the pressure regulating device 18. The suction cup body is connected to the vacuuming device 11 and the pressure regulating device 18 through the pipeline 13. Specifically, the moxibustion device 100 includes a top shell 3, a middle shell 1, and a base 2 assembled together, forming an installation cavity 10 for mounting the adsorption module 17. The vacuum device 11 and the suction cup body are integrated in the installation cavity 10. The bottom of the base 2 is provided with a base 2 silicone pad 4. The base silicone pad 4 is connected and fixed to the connection end 1708 of the adsorption module 17 to form an adsorption port 7. The base silicone pad 4 has a flat end face to help it adhere to the skin of the ear. At the same time, its soft nature provides a cushioning effect to the skin of the ear. The vacuum device 11 creates a vacuum to allow the moxibustion device 100 to be adsorbed onto the surface of the skin of the ear, ensuring that the moxibustion device 100 can be safely and stably adsorbed onto the surface of the skin of the ear. The pressure regulating device 118 achieves the best adsorption effect to improve patient comfort.

[0027] In the above scheme, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the suction cup body includes an adsorption shell 1701 with an adsorption cavity 1702 and an adsorption column 1706 sleeved on the adsorption shell 1701. An air valve 1703 is provided between the adsorption column 1706 and the adsorption shell 1701. The air valve 1703 is movably disposed in the suction cup body and forms an adsorption channel 1704. The adsorption channel 1704 is connected to the vacuum device 11 through a pipe 13. The vacuum pump is selected as the vacuum device 11. Specifically, the housing 1701 is connected to the mounting cavity 10, and the air valve 1703 is located between the housing 1701 and the adsorption column 1706. The air valve 1703 and the adsorption column 1706 can slide along the adsorption cavity 1702. An elastic washer 1707 is provided between the air valve 1703 and the adsorption housing 1701 and is connected to it. The vacuum pump is used to draw a vacuum, so as to drive the air valve 1703 and the adsorption column 1706 to move, thereby putting the adsorption cavity 1702 into a vacuum state, so that the moxibustion device 100 can be adsorbed on the skin surface of the ear, thereby ensuring that the moxibustion device 100 can be safely and stably adsorbed on the skin surface of the ear.

[0028] In the above scheme, the air valve 1703 is conical in shape, and the adsorption cavity 1702 of the adsorption housing 1701 matches the shape of the air valve 1703. An elastic valve 1705 is circumferentially provided on the outer wall of the air valve 1703, and the edge of the elastic valve 1705 abuts against the inner wall of the adsorption housing 1701. The adsorption column 1706 is fitted into the adsorption channel 1704 and is correspondingly conical in shape. The elastic valve 1705 is disposed on the outer wall of the air valve 1703, and its edge abuts against the inner wall of the adsorption housing 1701, thereby ensuring the sealing of the suction cup body and allowing unidirectional airflow.

[0029] In the above scheme, the adsorption module 17 also includes a pressure sensor 16 and a one-way valve 12. Both the pressure sensor 16 and the one-way valve 12 are located on the inlet pipe 13 of the adsorption module 17. The pressure sensor 16 is arranged adjacent to the adsorption module 17 and communicates with the adsorption channel 1704. The pressure sensor 16 forms a flow channel 1601, which is connected to the adsorption chamber 1702. It is responsible for transmitting the pressure value within the adsorption chamber 1702 to the control module. The control module determines whether the adsorption is in the optimal state. After pre-setting the pressure value (a lower pressure value should be set when applied to ear skin), the adsorption module 17, under the control of the control module, controls the adsorption pressure through the adsorption time of the vacuum pump and the continuously monitored pressure sensor 16, to ensure that the moxibustion device 100 can be stably adsorbed onto the ear skin.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, multiple sets of suction cup bodies and pressure sensors 16 are provided. The multiple sets of suction cup bodies and pressure sensors 16 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the moxibustion device 100. Adjacent pressure sensors 16 are interconnected through pipe branches 15. Multiple suction cup bodies form multiple adsorption points to ensure that the moxibustion device 100 can be more stably adsorbed on the surface of the ear skin.

[0031] Combination Figure 8As shown, excessive negative pressure adsorption can easily cause ear discomfort or even bruising. To avoid this, a pressure regulating device 18 is provided on the moxibustion device 100. The pressure regulating device 18 is electrically connected to the control module to adjust the low negative pressure mode (5~10kPa) of the adsorption module 17, thereby ensuring a more comfortable process of adsorbing the moxibustion device 100 onto the skin surface of the ear. Specifically, a three-way pipe 14 is provided on the pipeline 13. The three ports of the three-way pipe 14 are respectively connected to the flow channels 1601 of the vacuum pump, the pressure regulating device 18 and the pressure sensor 16. The pressure regulating device 18 includes a housing 1801 with a movable cavity 1802 and a driving element. The housing 1801 forms an air inlet 1803 and an exhaust port 1804. Both the air inlet 1803 and the exhaust port 1804 are connected to the movable cavity 1802. A cover 1805 is movably provided in the movable cavity 1802. An exhaust port 1808 is provided on the cover 1805. Under the action of the driving element, the cover 1805 is moved along the movable cavity 1802, thereby controlling the exhaust volume of the exhaust port 1808 per unit time. The driving element is set as cylinder 19. When the negative pressure in the adsorption module 17 is too high, cylinder 19 is activated. Under the action of cylinder 19, the cover 1805 moves up and down along the movable cavity 1802 to drive the exhaust port 1808 to move synchronously, thereby changing the opening of the exhaust hole 1804. By controlling the displacement speed and stroke of the cover 1805, the exhaust volume per unit time can be precisely adjusted to achieve dynamic adjustment of the negative pressure level in the adsorption cavity 1702 and meet the pressure requirements of different treatment stages.

[0032] In the above scheme, multiple exhaust ports 1808 are provided, and these multiple exhaust ports 1808 are arranged sequentially along the moving direction of the cover 1805. Distributing multiple exhaust ports 1808 along the moving path of the cover 1805 enables multi-stage pressure relief control. By changing the position of the cover 1805, the displacement of the exhaust ports 1808 and exhaust holes 1804 is selected to achieve different exhaust rates, thereby adapting to the needs of different treatment stages, such as constant pressure maintenance and slow pressure relief modes. In specific applications, the cover 1805 moves up and down along the movable cavity 1802 under the action of the cylinder 19. Each exhaust port 1807 corresponds to a specific exhaust area, thus forming a continuous exhaust variation. The control module automatically adjusts the position of the cover 1805 based on the feedback value from the pressure sensor 16 to maintain the set pressure.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, a surrounding wall 1806 is provided at the connection between the cover 1805 and the outer shell 1801. The surrounding wall 1806 is made of an elastic material, such as silicone. When the pressure regulating device 18 is not regulating the pressure, the surrounding wall 1806 always remains in close contact with the inner wall of the outer shell 1801, which can effectively prevent gas from leaking from the exhaust port 1804, thereby ensuring the controllability of the pressure regulating process.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, to achieve precise positioning and fixation of the moxibustion device 100, combined with Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the moxibustion device 100 is equipped with a positioning assistance module 6 corresponding to the heat-gathering chamber 5. Multiple positioning assistance modules 6 are provided, each corresponding to a specific acupoint on the ear. To ensure the precise positioning of acupoints for different patients, each positioning assistance module 6 includes a flexible guide post 601, a flexible connecting device, and a magnetic component. The magnetic component includes an electromagnet 607 mounted on the flexible connecting device and a patch 300 applied to the acupoint on the ear. The patch 300 is magnetic and attracts the electromagnet 607 to achieve positioning and fixation of the acupoint. Specifically, the moxibustion device 100 is equipped with a connector 202, which is located inside the heat-gathering chamber 5 and screwed to the flexible guide post 601. The flexible guide post 601 guides and initially positions the moxibustion device 100 on the ear, ensuring that the infrared heating module covers the target acupoint. The flexible guide post 601 has a certain degree of flexibility and elasticity to adapt to different users' ear shapes. Therefore, a soft yet rigid material, such as medical-grade silicone or TPU, should be selected to provide sufficient support without harming the skin. The flexible connection device is a chain 605. The flexible guide post 601 has a guide groove 608 corresponding to the chain 605. The edge of the chain 605 slides in the guide groove 608. The electromagnet 607 is connected to the chain 605 through the guide post 606. The guide post 606 can slide along the guide groove 608. The electromagnet 607 generates a magnetic field through current control, attracting the patch 300 attached to the acupoint on the ear, achieving precise positioning and fixation of the acupoint.

[0035] In the above scheme, a base plate 602 is provided on the flexible guide post 601, and a movable plate 604 that can move along the length of the flexible guide post 601 is provided below the base plate 602. The base plate 602 and the movable plate 604 are connected by a spring 603. The spring 603 can provide a buffering force to ensure that the moxibustion device 100 can better fit the ear skin, while reducing pressure on the skin, improving wearing comfort and therapeutic effect. The moxibustion device 100 is guided to the ear by the flexible guide post 601. During the process of the electromagnet 607 attracting the patch 300, the chain 605 drives the flexible guide post 601 to make fine adjustments, so that the infrared heating module is aligned with the target acupoint. When the moxibustion device 100 approaches the ear, the electromagnet 607 moves upward and drives the movable plate 604 to move along the flexible guide post 601, compressing the spring 603. This allows the movable plate 604 to adapt to different ear shapes and heights, ensuring that multiple positioning auxiliary modules 6 can fit snugly against the ear skin. Simultaneously, the electromagnet 607 and the patch 300 attract each other, further enhancing the fixation effect. In a preferred embodiment, a heating element is integrated into the flexible guide post 601, embedded inside the post. The heating element is a graphene film and can be connected to a control module via wires. The control module regulates the temperature of the heating element, thereby providing targeted heating to multiple key acupoints on the ear, activating these acupoints, improving drug absorption efficiency, and aiding in auricular acupuncture / patch therapy. This enhances the targeted therapeutic effect and can also be linked with an infrared heating module to form a "dual-heat source synergistic heating system," further enhancing the therapeutic effect.

[0036] In this embodiment, when short-term or localized treatment of specific acupoints on the ear is required, the moxibustion device 100 can be used directly, thereby flexibly adjusting the position and treatment time of the moxibustion device 100; when long-term wear or continuous treatment during activity is required, it can be combined with... Figure 9 As shown, the device can be worn on the patient's head by the elastic clamp 400. The moxibustion device 100 is positioned at both ends of the elastic clamp 400. The elastic clamp 400 is equipped with a connecting seat 200. The connecting seat 200 and the moxibustion device 100 are fixedly connected by bolts or other fasteners.
