Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to an adjustable moxibustion device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Moxibustion is an important external treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine, which uses the heat generated by burning moxa to stimulate specific acupoints or affected areas of the human body, so as to achieve the purpose of warming the meridians, supporting yang and preventing disease. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the pure yang and warm power of moxa fire can penetrate into the meridians, dispel cold and damp evil in the body (suitable for joint cold pain, abdominal pain and diarrhea, dysmenorrhea, etc.), support and invigorate the body's yang qi to enhance immunity (improve body weakness and cold hands and feet), promote blood circulation and dispel stasis (relieve pain and swelling caused by blood stasis), and can also stimulate health acupoints (such as Zusanli and Guanyuan) to regulate blood, stimulate self-healing and strengthen the body. There are many ways of moxibustion, including hanging moxibustion. Hanging moxibustion usually uses a spray gun to ignite the moxa stick and inverts the moxa stick, so that the burning point is directed towards the patient's skin, and the moxibustion point is continuously roasted to achieve the treatment effect. Since moxibustion usually takes a long time, it is not possible to fix the moxa stick by hand for a long time, so external equipment is needed to assist. At present, the bottom of the moxibustion is usually fixed to the bottom wall of the sleeve, and the sleeve is inverted on the skin to achieve the fixing effect. If the temperature is too high during the moxibustion process, the height of the moxa stick from the skin needs to be adjusted manually, which is relatively inconvenient. At the same time, the burning temperature of the end of the moxa stick cannot be accurately controlled, and the burning point of the moxa stick will move as the moxa stick burns and becomes shorter. The method of adjusting the height of the moxa stick by relying on body sensation cannot accurately adjust the height, and the continuous roasting during the moxibustion process may increase the patient's tolerance to heat, causing the patient to feel that the suitable temperature is actually higher than the safe temperature, thereby increasing the risk of burns. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the application provides an adjustable moxibustion device which can automatically adjust the height of the moxa stick during moxibustion in the hanging moxibustion mode, so as to control the temperature and prevent burns.

[0008] Further, the top cover comprises a top plate, an air hole, a threaded rod, an extension rod, an intermediate gear and a plug rod, the top plate is arranged on the top of the cylinder, the air hole is arranged on the top plate, the threaded rod is arranged on the bottom of the top plate, the extension rod is arranged on the bottom of the top plate and on the side of the threaded rod, the intermediate gear is rotatably arranged on the bottom of the extension rod, the plug rods are arranged in an array around the circumference of the bottom of the top plate, and the plug rods are fitted with the insertion holes.

[0009] Further, the clamping mechanism comprises a sleeve, a transmission gear, an adjusting thread and a clamping head, the sleeve is sleeved outside the threaded rod, the adjusting thread is arranged on the inner wall of the sleeve, the adjusting thread is threadedly engaged with the threaded rod, the transmission gear is arranged on the outer wall of the sleeve, and the clamping head is arranged on the bottom of the sleeve.

[0010] The gear ring, the transmission gear and the intermediate gear are gearingly engaged with each other.

[0011] The cylinder two is internally provided with a small amount of water droplets, which can help to increase the internal pressure in the pressure chamber after being heated.

[0012] Furthermore, the clamping head includes a clamping chamber, elastic clamps, a closing plate, and a handle. The clamping chamber has an opening at the bottom, the elastic clamps are disposed on the inner wall of the clamping chamber, and the elastic clamps are arranged in a circumferential array. The closing plate is symmetrically and elastically hinged at the bottom opening of the clamping chamber, and the handle is disposed at the bottom of the closing plate.

[0013] The second cylindrical body, the arc tube, the heat-conducting ring, and the connector are made of materials with good thermal conductivity.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention using the above structure are as follows: This adjustable moxibustion device, when performing suspended moxibustion, involves fixing one end of the moxa stick to the clamping head, igniting the other end of the moxa stick, installing the top cover on the moxibustion cylinder, and securing the device to the moxibustion point with a strap. Moxibustion treatment can then begin. During the moxibustion process, as the moxa stick burns, it heats the area below. When the temperature is too high, the heat is transferred to the pressure chamber through the heat-conducting ring and the arc tube. The temperature inside the pressure chamber rises, causing the water inside to form steam, increasing the internal pressure. This causes the gas inside the chamber to expand and push the arc rod along the arc tube via the piston, rotating the transmission mechanism. During this rotation, the gear ring of the transmission mechanism drives the sleeve with transmission teeth on its side wall to rotate through the intermediate gear, thereby raising the height of the clamping mechanism and increasing the distance between the burning point and the patient's skin, reducing the temperature of the patient's skin surface and preventing burns. As the moxa stick burns, it shortens, naturally increasing the distance between the burning point and the patient's skin. At this time, the patient's skin surface... As the surrounding temperature decreases, the pressure inside the pressure chamber also decreases, causing the gas inside to contract. This reverses the transmission mechanism, reducing the distance between the combustion point and the patient's skin, thus enhancing the heating effect of the moxa stick and preventing a decrease in therapeutic efficacy as the moxa stick shortens during combustion. The patient can also adjust the volume of the pressure chamber by rotating the adjusting sealing plug. A larger volume results in a smaller pressure increase after the temperature rises, a smaller rotation amplitude of the transmission mechanism, and a stronger heating effect; conversely, a smaller volume reduces the heating effect. This can be flexibly adjusted according to the patient's needs. Furthermore, at the end of the moxa stick's combustion, the closing plate flips and closes after losing support from the side wall of the moxa stick, preventing the moxa stick from falling and burning the patient in the final stage. This method effectively protects the patient during suspended moxibustion, preventing burns and ensuring consistent heating, preventing a decrease in heating effect due to the shortening of the moxa stick. Compared to traditional moxibustion devices, it offers better therapeutic effects, allows for flexible adjustment according to the patient's needs, and effectively prevents burns caused by the moxa stick falling at the end of its combustion.

[0031] The clamping mechanism 5 comprises a sleeve 501, a transmission tooth 502, an adjusting screw 503 and a clamping head 504. The sleeve 501 is sleeved outside the threaded rod 403. The adjusting screw 503 is arranged on the inner wall of the sleeve 501. The adjusting screw 503 is threadedly engaged with the threaded rod 403. The transmission tooth 502 is arranged on the outer wall of the sleeve 501. The clamping head 504 is arranged at the bottom of the sleeve 501.

[0032] The gear ring 305, the transmission tooth 502 and the intermediate gear 405 are mutually gear-engaged.

[0033] The cylinder two 201 is internally filled with a small amount of water droplets, which can help to increase the internal pressure of the pressure chamber 2 after being heated.

[0034] Further, the clamping head 504 comprises a clamping chamber 505, an elastic clamp 506, a closing plate 507 and a handle 508. The clamping chamber 505 is open at the bottom. The elastic clamp 506 is arranged on the inner wall of the clamping chamber 505. The elastic clamp 506 is circumferentially arranged. The closing plate 507 is symmetrically and elastically hinged at the opening at the bottom of the clamping chamber 505. The handle 508 is arranged at the bottom of the closing plate 507.

[0035] In use, first, the closing plate 507 is turned over, one end of the moxa stick is inserted into the clamping chamber 505, the elastic clamp 506 clamps and fixes the top end of the moxa stick, and the clamping mechanism 5 is rotated, the clamping mechanism 5 is screwed to the middle position of the up-down movement range of the clamping mechanism 5 to provide space for the up-down movement of the moxa stick, then the other end of the moxa stick is ignited, the top cover 4 is installed on the moxa stick cylinder 1 through the insertion slot 106 and the insertion rod 406, and the invention is fixed at the moxibustion point by the bandage 109, and the moxibustion treatment can be started. In the process of moxibustion, as the moxa stick burns, the moxa stick heats the lower part, when the temperature is too high, the heat is transferred to the pressure chamber 2 through the heat conducting ring 104 and the circular arc pipe 103, the temperature in the pressure chamber 2 rises, and the water in the pressure chamber 2 forms water vapor, increasing the internal pressure of the pressure chamber 2, so that the gas in the chamber expands and pushes the circular arc rod 302 along the circular arc pipe 103 through the piston 303, causing the transmission mechanism 3 to rotate. In the process of rotation of the transmission mechanism 3, the tooth ring 305 of the transmission mechanism 3 drives the sleeve 501 with transmission teeth 502 on the side wall through the intermediate gear 405, and the height of the clamping mechanism 5 is raised under the cooperation of the adjusting screw thread 503 and the screw rod 403, so that the distance between the burning point and the patient's skin increases, reducing the temperature of the patient's skin surface to prevent burns. As the moxa stick burns, the moxa stick becomes shorter, the distance between the burning point and the patient's skin naturally increases, and the temperature near the patient's skin decreases. Under the heat dissipation effect of the cylinder body two 201, the pressure in the pressure chamber 2 also decreases, the gas in the chamber contracts, the transmission mechanism 3 reverses, the distance between the burning point and the patient's skin decreases, the heating effect of the moxa stick is improved, and the treatment effect is prevented from being reduced as the moxa stick burns and becomes shorter. The patient can also adjust the volume of the pressure chamber 2 by rotating the sealing plug 203, the larger the volume of the pressure chamber 2, the smaller the increase in the pressure in the chamber after the temperature rises, the smaller the rotation range of the transmission mechanism 3, the stronger the heating effect, and vice versa. The heating effect can be adjusted flexibly according to the needs of the patient. When the moxa stick burns to the end, the closing plate 507 loses the support of the side wall of the moxa stick and will turn over and close under the action of the elastic hinge, collecting the remaining moxa stick in the clamping chamber 505 to prevent the moxa stick from falling in the last stage.
