Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of physiotherapy instruments, and in particular to a head cover structure integrating heat therapy and moxibustion. Background Art

[0002] Moxibustion, as a characteristic treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine, has the effects of warming the meridians, dredge the collaterals, promote qi and activate blood circulation through the warm stimulation produced by burning moxa and the medicinal effect; modern heat therapy equipment mainly includes infrared physiotherapy devices, microwave heat therapy machines, ultrasonic therapy devices and other physical therapy equipment.

[0003] Traditional moxibustion and heat therapy devices suffer from heat dispersion, inconvenient operation, safety risks, and limited functionality. For example, conventional moxibustion boxes have low heat utilization, require manual adjustment, and the open flame and moxa ash can easily cause burns. Electric heat therapy devices lack the medicinal properties of moxa and have difficulty conforming to body curves. The market urgently needs a safe and convenient, all-in-one device that combines the deep penetration of heat therapy with the pharmacological effects of moxibustion.

[0004] In response to the above-mentioned defects, the present invention proposes a head cover structure that integrates heat therapy and moxibustion. It concentrates heat energy through the heat-collecting cover, accurately positions moxa sticks through multi-guide buckets, optimizes exhaust gas emissions through the dust exhaust port, and is compatible with external adjustment mechanisms, thereby achieving efficient, safe, and adaptive physical therapy effects, meeting the needs of families and clinics for intelligent heat therapy. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Purpose of the present invention: In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a head cover structure integrating heat therapy and moxibustion, so as to integrate the functions of heat therapy and moxibustion into one.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is: a head cover structure integrating heat therapy and moxibustion, comprising an outer shell and a head cover body arranged inside the outer shell, an outer baffle is provided on the outer side of the outer shell, a guide bucket for connecting the two sides of the outer baffle is fixed integrally on the outer baffle, the middle part of the outer baffle is recessed downward, and a material collection opening is provided in the recess, the guide bucket is located above the head cover body, and a clamping assembly is provided on the head cover body, and the moxa stick passes through the outer baffle through the guide bucket or the material collection opening and is clamped by the clamping assembly; A heat collecting cover is provided on the outside of the head cover body. The heat collecting cover has a bowl-shaped concave structure. The heat collecting cover is inside the shell and there is a leakage cavity between them. An external device for driving the head cover to move is provided at the bottom of the shell.

[0007] The two functions of heat therapy and moxibustion are integrated into one cover. The bowl-shaped concave heat-collecting cover can reflect the heat energy generated by the burning moxa stick and focus it on the target area, enhancing the penetration of heat therapy. It also has a built-in electromagnetic wave heating device, which uses the heat-collecting cover to focus the electromagnetic waves to form directional linear heat rays for heating. The double-layer structure design of the outer shield and the outer shell can isolate the burning moxa stick from the skin to prevent burns caused by direct contact. The bottom of the shell can be connected to an external device, such as a robotic arm or bracket, to achieve automatic or semi-automatic operation, and the focusing position of the hood can be freely adjusted to provide the human body with more precise therapeutic effects.

[0008] A further configuration of the present invention is that the clamping assembly includes two symmetrically arranged clamping nozzles, which are rotatably connected to the head cover body via a rotating shaft, and each rotating shaft is provided with an open-mouth coil spring for squeezing the corresponding clamping nozzle to put it in a clamping state.

[0009] With the above further setting, when the moxa stick is not inserted, the elastic force of the opening spring keeps the clamping mouth open, making it convenient for the user to quickly insert the moxa stick; when the moxa stick is inserted, the clamping mouth rotates inward under pressure, and the spring provides reverse elastic force, so that the clamping mouth automatically fits the surface of the moxa stick, ensuring a firm clamp and preventing loosening or falling off; after the moxa stick is taken out, the spring automatically resets and the clamping mouth reopens, without the need for manual adjustment, thereby improving operational convenience.

[0010] The present invention is further provided with: a plurality of guide buckets can be provided, each guide bucket is symmetrically distributed around the center of the material gathering opening, and each of the guide buckets and the material gathering opening has a corresponding clamping assembly.

[0011] By further adopting the above-mentioned setting, the design of multiple guide buckets allows the hood to insert multiple groups of moxa sticks at the same time. When multiple moxa sticks burn, the heat is more concentrated and more uniform, which is suitable for areas that require strong heat therapy. The guide buckets are symmetrically arranged around the center of the aggregate opening, so that the burning moxa sticks are distributed in a ring or radial shape, and the heat converges to the center to avoid unilateral overheating or uneven temperature. The aggregate opening serves as a supplement to the central heat source, and an additional moxa stick can be inserted to further enhance the heat penetration of the core area.

[0012] The present invention is further provided with a dust outlet on the outer shell for communicating with the outside world and the leakage cavity.

[0013] With the above-mentioned further arrangement, every time a proper course of moxibustion treatment is completed, the moxibustion debris or the end of the moxibustion stick can be collected through the dust exhaust port to prevent the ash from scalding customers and keep the site clean. At the same time, the gas produced by combustion can also be discharged to avoid the phenomenon of choking by heavy moxa smoke on site.

[0014] The present invention is further provided with: the base of the shell is a circular tubular structure, and the heat collecting cover and the head cover body are connected to the inside of the shell base through support columns.

[0015] With the above-mentioned further arrangement, the design of the shell base can realize the fixation of the heat collecting hood and the hood body, and the circular tubular design can be designed with a hoop and other structures on the outside to connect the shell and the external device to realize the overall movement.

[0016] The present invention is further provided with holes evenly arranged on the wall surface of the guide bucket.

[0017] With the above-mentioned further arrangement, when in use, the moxa stick inside the guide bucket is firstly designed to be in more complete contact with the heat through the hole design, so that the moxa stick can be fully burned, and the debris or the tail of the moxa stick can be collected through the moxibustion, so as to avoid the ash stalks scalding customers and keep the venue clean, and avoid the phenomenon of choking by excessive moxa smoke on the scene.

[0018] The present invention is further provided with: the guide bucket is a conical funnel structure.

[0019] With the above-mentioned further setting, the guide bucket is designed to be a funnel shape that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, which is convenient for users to quickly and easily align and insert the moxa stick. Even with one-handed operation, it can be inserted accurately to avoid repeated adjustments. The lower end gradually narrows, so that the moxa stick naturally guides the clamping assembly, ensuring that it stably enters the preset position and prevents deviation or jamming.

[0022] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in this embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, all directional indications (such as up, down, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0024] In addition, the terms "first," "second," and so on, used in this disclosure are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the technical features being described. In the description of this disclosure, "several" means at least two, such as two or three, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0025] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a head cover structure integrating heat therapy and moxibustion comprises an outer shell 10 and a head cover body 1 disposed inside the outer shell 10. An outer baffle 2 is disposed on the outer side of the outer shell 10. A guide bucket 3 for connecting the two sides of the outer baffle 2 is fixed integrally on the outer baffle 2. The middle portion of the outer baffle 2 is recessed downward, and a material gathering opening 11 is provided at the recess. The guide bucket 3 is located above the head cover body 1. A clamping assembly is provided on the head cover body 1. The moxa stick passes through the outer baffle 2 through the guide bucket 3 or the material gathering opening 11 and is clamped by the clamping assembly. The clamping assembly includes two symmetrically arranged clamping nozzles 5, which are rotatably connected to the head cover body 1 through a rotating shaft. A group of two clamping nozzles 5 is used to clamp moxa sticks, and each rotating shaft is provided with an opening spring 9 for squeezing the corresponding clamping nozzle 5 to put it in a clamping state. The clamping nozzle 5 is a shell structure, the opening spring 9 is provided on the back of the shell, and a pin of the opening spring 9 is against the lower end of the back of the shell of the clamping nozzle 5, so that the bottoms of the two symmetrically arranged clamping nozzles 5 move toward the middle, so that the two clamping nozzles 5 are in a clamped normally open state.

[0026] Therefore, when the moxa stick is not inserted, the elastic force of the opening mouth spring 9 keeps the clamping mouth 5 in a clamped normally open state, but there is a gap between the two clamping mouths 5 of the same clamping assembly, which allows the user to quickly insert the moxa stick; when the moxa stick is inserted, the clamping mouth 5 rotates inward under pressure, and the opening mouth spring 9 provides a reverse elastic force, so that the clamping mouth 5 always fits the surface of the moxa stick, ensuring a firm clamp and avoiding loosening or falling off; after the moxa stick is taken out, the opening mouth spring 9 squeezes the clamping mouth 5 to the normally open position, without the need for manual adjustment, thereby improving operational convenience.

[0027] Each guide bucket 3 has a conical funnel structure. The guide bucket 3 is designed in the shape of a funnel that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, which makes it easy for users to quickly and easily align and insert the moxa stick. Even with one-handed operation, it can be inserted accurately to avoid repeated adjustments. The lower end gradually narrows, so that the moxa stick naturally guides the clamping assembly to ensure that it stably enters the preset position and prevents displacement or jamming.

[0028] Furthermore, multiple guide buckets 3 can be provided. In the present embodiment, three guide buckets 3 are provided, and each guide bucket 3 is symmetrically distributed around the center of the material gathering port 11. The guide bucket 3 and the material gathering port 11 each correspond to a clamping assembly. Specifically, the design of multiple guide buckets 3 enables the head cover to insert multiple groups of moxa sticks at the same time. When multiple moxa sticks burn, the heat is more concentrated and more uniform, which is suitable for parts that require strong heat therapy. The guide buckets 3 are symmetrically arranged around the center of the material gathering port 11, so that the burning moxa sticks are distributed in a ring or radial shape, and the heat converges to the center to avoid unilateral overheating or uneven temperature. The material gathering port 11 serves as a supplement to the central heat source, and an additional moxa stick can be inserted to further enhance the heat penetration of the core area.

[0029] Holes 4 are evenly arranged on the wall of the guide bucket 3. The design of the holes 4 allows the moxa stick inside the guide bucket to be in more complete contact with the heat, so that the moxa stick can be fully burned, and can be used to collect debris or the end of the moxa stick to avoid ash scalding customers and keep the venue clean, and avoid the phenomenon of choking by heavy moxa smoke on the scene.

[0030] A heat collecting hood 6 is provided on the outside of the head cover body 1. The heat collecting hood 6 has a bowl-shaped recessed structure. The heat collecting hood 6 is inside the outer shell 10, and there is a leakage cavity 7 between the heat collecting hood 6. It should be noted that the heat collecting hood 6 is provided with an opening corresponding to the bottom of the clamping assembly for the residue after the moxa stick is burned to pass through. During the burning process of the moxa stick, the ash stem produced by its combustion falls into the leakage cavity 7 for collection. After the burning of the moxa stick is finished or is about to end, the user can use a tool to push the moxa stick residue still clamped on the clamping assembly into the leakage cavity 7, without the user having to clamp the residual moxa stick outward, and the operation is simpler.

[0031] The shell 10 may be provided with a dust outlet 8 for connecting the outside world and the leakage cavity 7. After a proper course of moxibustion treatment, the user pushes the remaining part of the burned moxa stick into the leakage cavity 7, and the moxibustion debris or the end of the moxibustion stick can be collected through the dust outlet 8. The dust outlet 8 can be connected to a collector such as a vacuum cleaner or a water tank through a pipe to collect the products of moxa stick combustion, so as to avoid flying ash and scalding customers and keep the venue clean. At the same time, the gas generated by the combustion can also be discharged to avoid the phenomenon of choking by heavy moxa smoke on the scene.

[0032] An external device for driving the hood to move is provided at the bottom of the shell 10. Furthermore, the shell 10 is a shell structure, the base portion of which protrudes inward, and the overall structure is a circular tubular structure. A support column can be fixed on the top of the protruding portion to pass through the heat collecting hood 6 and the hood body 1 to fix it, and due to the circular tubular design, a hoop or other structure can be designed on the outside to connect the shell 10 and the external device to achieve overall movement.

[0033] Specifically, the two major functions of heat therapy and moxibustion are integrated into one cover. The bowl-shaped concave heat-collecting cover 6 can reflect the heat energy generated by the burning moxa stick and focus it on the target area, thereby enhancing the penetration of the heat therapy. It also has a built-in electromagnetic wave heating device, which uses the heat-collecting cover 6 to focus the electromagnetic waves to form directional linear heat rays for heating. The double-layer structure design of the outer baffle and the outer shell can isolate the burning moxa stick from the skin to prevent burns caused by direct contact. The bottom of the outer shell can be connected to an external device, such as a robotic arm or a bracket, to realize automatic or semi-automatic operation, and freely adjust the focus position of the hood to provide a more precise massage effect for the human body. Example

[0034] In this embodiment, the external device is a massage chair with a mechanical arm, such as Figure 8 As shown, the robotic arm 12 can clamp the base portion connected to the shell 10, wherein the robotic arm 12 has a plurality of independently movable joints, and each joint is provided with a motor to independently drive, thereby enabling the hood to reach and adapt to various complex spatial positions, and the movement of the robotic arm can also be controlled by programming, through offline programming, pre-planning the path in the computer software, and online teaching (the operator manually guides and records the trajectory) for programming and debugging, which greatly improves its adaptability and flexibility, so that it can easily adapt to different moxibustion tasks, body shapes and complex acupoint stimulation path requirements, and significantly reduces the user's operation and programming technical threshold and time cost, and improves the use efficiency, thereby realizing automated, multi-angle, and multi-posture moxibustion operations, and improving the flexibility and accuracy of moxibustion services.

[0035] In this embodiment, a distance sensor can be installed on the outer baffle 2 of the head cover. When any human limb or other foreign object approaches the lampshade and exceeds the specified safety distance, the robotic arm will automatically avoid it and recalculate the new motion trajectory, effectively preventing accidental harm to personnel or equipment, ensuring the safety and reliability of the treatment environment, and meeting the high safety standards of medical equipment. At the same time, a voice alarm module can be added to the robotic arm to emit an alarm sound and flashing LED signal lights for auditory and visual prompts when an abnormal situation is detected. Example

[0036] In this embodiment, the external device is a floor-standing physiotherapy device, such as Figure 7 As shown, the floor-standing physiotherapy instrument includes a rotating cantilever base 14 and a tension spring cantilever mechanism 13 arranged on the base, through a rigid or flexible support arm on the cantilever mechanism, one end is fixed to the base of the physiotherapy instrument, and the other end is connected to the shell 10 of the head cover, and a tension spring is provided at the cantilever joint. By adjusting the spring tension, such as tightening or loosening the spring hook, the joint resistance is changed to achieve stepless adjustment of the pitch and roll angles of the head cover, and the rotating cantilever base 14 is a sleeve-type retractable design, and the position of the tension spring cantilever mechanism 13 above it can be freely adjusted; a rotating shaft can be set between the cantilever and the base for connection, which can be horizontally rotated or locked to achieve lateral movement of the head cover, and specifically the tension spring cantilever mechanism can realize the lifting, tilting, horizontal movement and other adjustments of the head cover, which has the characteristics of simple operation, low cost and wide adaptability, realizes multi-angle moxibustion operations, and improves the flexibility and accuracy of moxibustion services.

[0037] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that those skilled in the art can implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
