Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of moxibustion therapy bed technology, specifically a gradient heat recovery and uniform heat distribution system for moxibustion therapy beds. Background Technology
[0002] Moxibustion, a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, uses the heat generated by burning moxa to act on acupoints on the body, achieving the effects of warming and unblocking the meridians and regulating the body. With technological advancements, moxibustion equipment has gradually evolved from traditional manual operation to automation and intelligence; however, existing equipment still has many shortcomings. Traditional moxibustion devices often employ an open combustion structure, leading to easy heat loss from the burning moxa and a lack of effective heat recovery mechanisms. This results in significant heat waste, reducing the therapeutic effect and increasing the cost of moxa. Existing devices typically exhibit unidirectional heat diffusion, easily creating localized high or low temperature zones in the treatment area. This uneven heating negatively impacts the treatment experience and may even cause skin discomfort due to excessively high local temperatures. Furthermore, most moxibustion devices have fixed moxa components, preventing flexible adjustment based on different acupoints or treatment needs. This necessitates frequent manual movement of equipment or the patient, making operation cumbersome and reducing efficiency. Therefore, those skilled in the art have developed a gradient heat recovery and uniform heat distribution system for moxibustion beds to address the problems described in the background. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gradient heat recovery and uniform heat distribution system for moxibustion beds to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A gradient heat recovery and uniform heat distribution system for a moxibustion bed includes support legs, a fixed seat, a moxibustion chamber, a heat recovery mechanism, a heat distribution mechanism, a mounting groove, and a bed frame. Support legs are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bed frame, and a fixed seat is provided on one side of the bed frame. A moxibustion chamber is provided under the bed frame, and a mounting groove is provided in the moxibustion chamber. Multiple heat-permeable holes are provided at equal intervals between the mounting groove and the bed frame. A threaded heat recovery mechanism is provided in the mounting groove of the fixed seat, and a gear-driven heat distribution mechanism is provided in the mounting groove.

The fixed plate is fixedly connected in the mounting groove. The drive motor is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate. The output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to a threaded rod. The second synchronous pulley is fixedly connected to the side of the drive motor near the threaded rod. Rotating seats are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bed. Rotating rollers are movably connected in each rotating seat. A nursing cloth is arranged between the rotating rollers.
[0006] As a further embodiment of the present invention: guide rods are symmetrically arranged in the mounting groove, guide seats are movably connected to the guide rods, and a movable platform is fixedly connected to the guide seats. Multiple placement compartments are arranged at equal intervals on the movable platform, and the guide seats have a threaded structure below them, with the guide seats and threaded rods cooperating with each other.
[0007] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the placement chamber is provided with a moxibustion fixing frame and an ash collection trough, the ash collection trough is connected to the drawer of the placement chamber, and the side wall of the placement chamber is provided with a heat dissipation adjustment hole, and a sliding baffle is provided in the heat dissipation adjustment hole.
[0008] As a further embodiment of the present invention: both sides of the nursing cloth are provided with hook and loop fasteners, which are respectively female hook and loop fasteners and female hook and loop fasteners, and the nursing cloth is connected to each other through the hook and loop fasteners.
[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a fan is provided inside the moxibustion chamber, the air outlet of the fan faces the nursing cloth, and a ventilation pipe is provided on the surface of the moxibustion chamber. The fan and the drive motor are electrically connected to an external power supply and controller.
[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a serpentine heat-conducting pipe is provided on the side of the bed body near the nursing cloth, and the serpentine heat-conducting pipe is in close contact with the nursing cloth.
[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the heat distribution mechanism includes a transmission wheel, a transmission rack, a swing plate, a transmission frame, a guide plate, a movable shaft, and a limiting shaft. The transmission rack is slidably connected to both sides of the mounting groove, and the transmission wheel is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the moving platform. The transmission wheel and the transmission rack cooperate with each other. The transmission frame is fixedly connected to the upper side of the transmission rack, and the swing plate is fixedly connected to the side of the transmission frame away from the transmission rack. Multiple limiting shafts are evenly arranged in the mounting groove. The mounting groove is movably connected to the guide plate through the limiting shafts, and the guide plate and the swing plate are movably connected by a movable shaft.
[0012] As a further aspect of the present invention: the swing angle range of the guide plate is 0°-45°, and the swing directions of adjacent guide plates are opposite, forming an interlaced heat flow guiding structure.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: When the device is started, the external power supply powers the fan and drive motor. The controller can adjust their working status, fix the moxibustion material on the moxibustion holder in the placement chamber and ignite it. The ash collection trough is placed in the placement chamber with a drawer-type design to collect the ash produced by the burning of moxibustion. The opening and closing size of the heat dissipation adjustment hole can be adjusted by sliding baffle to control the amount of heat dissipation in the placement chamber. After the drive motor is started, its output end drives the threaded rod to rotate. Since the guide seat has a threaded structure and cooperates with the threaded rod, the rotation of the threaded rod will be converted into the linear motion of the guide seat. The guide seat slides on the guide rod, and at the same time drives the moving platform fixed on it to move synchronously, so that multiple placement chambers can move smoothly in the installation slot to realize the adjustment of the moxibustion position. When the drive motor is working, it drives the rotating roller to rotate through the transmission of the second synchronous pulley, synchronous belt and the first synchronous pulley. The rotation of the rotating roller causes the nursing cloth to move accordingly. The two sides of the nursing cloth are connected by male and female Velcro, and the length can be adjusted as needed to adapt to different usage scenarios. The serpentine heat conduction pipe on the side of the bed near the nursing cloth is attached to the nursing cloth, which can conduct some of the heat generated by moxibustion to the nursing cloth, improving the heat utilization rate. The fan in the moxibustion chamber works, and the air outlet is facing the nursing cloth, blowing the hot air generated by moxibustion onto the nursing cloth, so that the heat is applied to the human body more evenly. The ventilation pipe on the surface of the moxibustion chamber can realize the internal air circulation, regulate the temperature and humidity inside the chamber. The serpentine heat conduction pipe absorbs and transfers heat, and works together with the hot air blown out by the fan to improve the nursing effect, while realizing the effective recovery and utilization of heat energy. When the mobile platform moves linearly under the drive of the threaded rod, the transmission wheels on both sides move synchronously. Due to the meshing of the transmission wheels and the transmission rack, the movement of the transmission wheels causes the transmission rack to slide horizontally in the mounting groove. When the swinging transmission rack moves horizontally, it causes the transmission frame fixedly connected to it to move synchronously. The transmission frame then pushes the swing plate to swing. The swing plate is connected to the guide plate through the movable shaft. The angle change of the swing plate is transmitted to the guide plate through the movable shaft. The guide plate swings with the limit shaft as the fulcrum. The swing angle is limited to the range of 0°-45°. Due to the transmission structure design, adjacent guide plates will swing in opposite directions, forming an interlaced arrangement. The interlaced swinging guide plates will form a regular guiding effect on the hot airflow generated by moxibustion. Through the constantly changing guide angle, the hot airflow can be more evenly diffused and act on the nursing cloth. This interlaced heat flow guiding structure can avoid the heat flow from concentrating in a certain area, improve the uniformity of heat distribution, and enhance the effect of moxibustion care.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-5 and Figure 8 This embodiment provides a gradient heat recovery and uniform heat distribution system for a moxibustion bed, including a support leg 1, a fixed seat 2, a moxibustion chamber 3, a heat recovery mechanism 5, a heat distribution mechanism 6, a mounting groove 7, and a bed body 9. The four corners of the bed body 9 are fixedly connected to the support leg 1, and a fixed seat 2 is provided on one side of the bed body 9. The moxibustion chamber 3 is provided under the bed body 9. The moxibustion chamber 3 has a mounting groove 7. Multiple heat-penetrating holes 11 are provided at equal distances between the mounting groove 7 and the bed body 9. The fixed seat 2 is provided with a threaded heat recovery mechanism 5 in the mounting groove 7, and the mounting groove 7 is provided with a gear-driven heat distribution mechanism 6. In this embodiment, specifically, the heat recovery mechanism 5 includes a fixed plate 501, a drive motor 502, a synchronous belt 503, a first synchronous pulley 504, a rotating roller 505, a guide rod 506, a moving platform 507, a threaded rod 508, a placement compartment 509, a second synchronous pulley 510, and a guide seat 511. The fixed plate 501 is fixedly connected in the mounting groove 7. The drive motor 502 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate 501. The output end of the drive motor 502 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 508. The second synchronous pulley 510 is fixedly connected to the side of the drive motor 502 near the threaded rod 508. Rotating seats 10 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bed 9. Rotating rollers 505 are movably connected in each rotating seat 10. A nursing cloth 4 is arranged between the rotating rollers 505. The mounting groove 7 is symmetrically provided with guide rods 506, and guide seats 511 are movably connected to the guide rods 506. A moving platform 507 is fixedly connected to the guide seats 511, and multiple placement compartments 509 are equally spaced on the moving platform 507. The guide seats 511 have a threaded structure below, and the guide seats 511 and the threaded rods 508 cooperate with each other. The placement chamber 509 is equipped with a moxibustion fixing frame 512 and an ash collection trough 513. The ash collection trough 513 is connected to the placement chamber 509 in a drawer-like manner, and the side wall of the placement chamber 509 is provided with a heat dissipation adjustment hole 514. A sliding baffle 515 is provided in the heat dissipation adjustment hole 514. Both sides of the nursing cloth 4 are provided with hook and loop fasteners, which are male hook and loop fasteners and female hook and loop fasteners, and the nursing cloth 4 is connected to each other through the hook and loop fasteners. The moxibustion chamber 3 is equipped with a fan, the air outlet of the fan faces the nursing cloth 4, and the surface of the moxibustion chamber 3 is equipped with a ventilation pipe. The fan and the drive motor 502 are electrically connected to an external power supply and controller. The bed body 9 is provided with a serpentine heat-conducting pipe on the side near the nursing cloth 4, and the serpentine heat-conducting pipe is in close contact with the nursing cloth 4; When the device is started, the external power supply powers the fan and drive motor 502. The controller can adjust their working status, fix the moxibustion material on the moxibustion holder 512 in the placement chamber 509 and ignite it. The ash collection trough 513 is placed in the placement chamber 509 with a drawer design to collect the ash produced by the burning of moxibustion. The opening and closing size of the heat dissipation adjustment hole 514 is adjusted by the sliding baffle 515 to control the heat dissipation in the placement chamber 509. After the drive motor 502 is started, its output end drives the threaded rod 508 to rotate. Since the guide seat 511 has a threaded structure below and cooperates with the threaded rod 508, the rotation of the threaded rod 508 will be converted into the linear motion of the guide seat 511. The guide seat 511 slides on the guide rod 506, and at the same time drives the moving platform 507 fixed on it to move synchronously, so that multiple placement chambers 509 can move smoothly in the mounting slot 7 to realize the adjustment of the moxibustion position. Meanwhile, when the drive motor 502 is working, it drives the rotating roller 505 to rotate through the transmission of the second synchronous pulley 510, the synchronous belt 503 and the first synchronous pulley 504. The rotation of the rotating roller 505 causes the nursing cloth 4 to move accordingly. The two sides of the nursing cloth 4 are connected by the male and female Velcro, and the length can be adjusted as needed to adapt to different usage scenarios. The serpentine heat conduction pipe on the side of the bed 9 close to the nursing cloth 4 is attached to the nursing cloth 4, which can conduct some of the heat generated by moxibustion to the nursing cloth 4, improving the heat utilization rate. The fan in the moxibustion chamber 3 works, and the air outlet is facing the nursing cloth 4, blowing the hot air generated by moxibustion onto the nursing cloth 4, so that the heat is applied to the human body more evenly. The ventilation pipe on the surface of the moxibustion chamber 3 can realize the internal air circulation, regulate the temperature and humidity inside the chamber. The serpentine heat conduction pipe absorbs and transfers heat, and works together with the hot air blown out by the fan to improve the nursing effect, while realizing the effective recovery and utilization of heat energy.
[0026] Example 2
[0027] Reference Figures 6-7 This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, but differs in that the heating mechanism 6 includes a transmission wheel 601, a transmission rack 602, a swing plate 603, a transmission frame 604, a guide plate 605, a movable shaft 606, and a limiting shaft 607. The transmission rack 602 is slidably connected to both sides of the mounting groove 7, and the transmission wheel 601 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the moving platform 507. The transmission wheel 601 and the transmission rack 602 cooperate with each other. The transmission frame 604 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the transmission rack 602, and the swing plate 603 is fixedly connected to the side of the transmission frame 604 away from the transmission rack 602. Multiple limiting shafts 607 are arranged at equal intervals in the mounting groove 7. The guide plate 605 is movably connected to the mounting groove 7 through the limiting shafts 607. The movable shaft 606 is movably connected between the guide plate 605 and the swing plate 603. The swing angle range of the guide plate 605 is 0°-45°, and the swing directions of adjacent guide plates 605 are opposite, forming an interlaced heat flow guiding structure.
[0028] When the mobile platform 507 moves linearly under the drive of the threaded rod 508, the transmission wheels 601 on both sides move synchronously. Since the transmission wheels 601 and the transmission rack 602 mesh with each other, the movement of the transmission wheels 601 will cause the transmission rack 602 to slide horizontally in the mounting groove 7. When the swinging transmission rack 602 moves horizontally, it will drive the transmission frame 604 fixedly connected to it to move synchronously. The transmission frame 604 will then push the swing plate 603 to swing. The swing plate 603 is connected to the guide plate 605 through the movable shaft 606. The angle change of the swing plate 603 will be transmitted through the movable shaft 606. The heat is transmitted to the guide plate 605, which swings around the limiting shaft 607. The swing angle is limited to 0°-45°. Due to the transmission structure design, adjacent guide plates 605 swing in opposite directions, forming an interlaced arrangement. The interlaced swinging guide plates 605 guide the hot airflow generated by moxibustion in a regular manner. Through the constantly changing guide angle, the hot airflow can be diffused more evenly and act on the nursing cloth 4. This interlaced heat flow guiding structure can avoid the heat flow from concentrating in a certain area, improve the uniformity of heat distribution, and enhance the effect of moxibustion care.
