[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0029] An automatic temperature-controlled and smoke-removing moxibustion device includes a chassis assembly 1, a lifting assembly 2, an atomizing assembly 3, a filter assembly 4, a moxibustion head assembly 5, a main control board 6, and a temperature measuring assembly 7. The atomizing assembly 3 and the filter assembly 4 are stacked vertically and installed inside the chassis assembly 1. The fan cover 44 in the filter assembly 4 is connected to the air inlet 311 in the water tank 31. One end of the lifting assembly 2 passes through the filter assembly 4 and is connected to the chassis assembly 1. The moxibustion head assembly 5 is fixedly connected to the other end of the lifting assembly 2. The main control board 6 is fixed inside the chassis assembly 1. The temperature measuring assembly 7 communicates with the main control board 6 via Bluetooth and sets the target moxibustion temperature T through the main control board 6. d Temperature measuring component 7 measures the surface temperature T of human skin. s The main control board of the moxibustion device 6 is based on the error: e(t) = T d -T s The required lifting distance for lifting component 2 is automatically calculated using formula 1, referring to the formula:

[0030]

[0031] Where: K P K is the proportionality coefficient. I K is the integral coefficient. D is the differential coefficient.

[0032] Specifically, the lifting component 2 can adjust the height of the moxibustion head component 5 to accommodate patients of different body shapes, the atomizing component 3 can atomize and spray water, the filtering component 4 can filter impurities in the moxibustion smoke to prevent impurities from affecting the moxibustion effect, and the moxibustion head component 5 can perform moxibustion on the patient.

[0033] The lifting assembly 2 includes a guide rod 21, a cylindrical rack 22, a gear 23, a lifting rod 24, and a motor 25. The bottom of the guide rod 21 is fixedly connected to the housing assembly 1. One end of the cylindrical rack 22 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 21, and the other end is fixedly connected to the lifting rod 24. The motor 25 is fixedly connected to the housing assembly 1. The outer teeth of the gear 23 mesh with the cylindrical rack 22, and the center hole is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 25.

[0034] Specifically, the motor 25 drives the gear 23 to rotate, the gear 23 rotates and drives the cylindrical rack 22 to rise, the cylindrical rack 22 rises and drives the lifting rod 24 to rise, thereby adjusting the height of the moxibustion head assembly 5. It can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual use situation, and the smoke inlet 241 can facilitate the entry of moxibustion smoke into the moxibustion head assembly 5.

[0035] The atomizing component 3 includes a water tank 31 and an atomizer 32. The atomizer 32 is fixed to the bottom of the water tank 31. The top of the water tank 31 is provided with an air inlet 311, the side is provided with an air outlet 312, and the interior is provided with a guide plate 313. Multiple guide plates 313 are arranged alternately to divide the airflow channel into an S-shape.

[0036] Specifically, the atomizer 32 atomizes the water in the water tank 31 into water mist. The smoke produced by the mugwort enters through the air inlet 311, and the water mist absorbs the smoke produced by the burning mugwort. The purified smoke is then discharged through the air outlet 312.

[0037] The filter assembly 4 includes a filter housing 41, a filter element 42, a fan 43, a fan cover 44, electrode plates 45, a flue gas temperature sensor 46, and a PM2.5 sensor 47. The filter element 42 is located inside one side of the filter housing 41. Multiple electrode plates 45 are arranged in parallel, and adjacent electrode plates 45 are respectively connected to the positive and negative terminals of a high-voltage power supply. The fan 43 is fixedly connected to one side of the filter housing 41 by bolts. The fan cover 44 is fitted over the fan 43 and is fixedly connected to the filter housing 41 by bolts. The flue gas temperature sensor 46 is located in the cavity between the electrode plates 45 and the filter housing 41. The PM2.5 sensor 47 is located at the air outlet of the fan cover 44.

[0038] Specifically, when the fan 43 is working, it draws in the smoke produced by burning mugwort through the smoke inlet 241. Then, the filter element 42 performs preliminary purification on the smoke, and the preliminarily purified smoke enters the water tank 31 for secondary purification.

[0039] The moxibustion head assembly 5 includes a moxibustion head 51, an inner liner 52, a moxa cake 53, a magnet 54, and a tray 55. The inner liner 52 is located in the internal cavity of the moxibustion head 51 and is fixedly connected to the moxibustion head 51 by bolts. The magnet 54 is fixedly connected to the tray 55 and is attracted to the end face of the tray 55. The moxa cake 53 is located in the cavity between the tray 55 and the inner liner 52.

[0040] Specifically, the temperature generated when burning Ai Bing 53 is approximately 40-60℃, which provides continuous warm stimulation to the local skin and tissues, dilates local blood vessels, increases blood flow, improves tissue microcirculation, promotes the excretion of metabolic waste, relieves inflammation and edema, activates local sensory nerve endings, and inhibits pain signal transmission through nerve regulation of the spinal cord and cerebral cortex, thus relieving pain. It also enhances the activity of local immune cells such as macrophages and lymphocytes, and improves tissue repair capabilities, such as promoting wound healing and relieving chronic inflammation.

[0041] The temperature measuring component 7 includes a handle 71 and a thermocouple 72, with the end of the thermocouple 72 being fixed to the moxibustion site on the human body by medical tape.

[0042] Specifically, thermocouple 72 is used to monitor the temperature of the moxibustion area so that staff can make timely adjustments to prevent injury to the patient.

[0043] Working Principle: During use, the fan 43 draws in the moxa smoke through the lifting assembly 2. The smoke then passes through the smoke temperature sensor 46, which measures its temperature. Since the temperature and amount of smoke produced by moxa vary greatly at different stages of combustion, this invention uses a sensor to measure the temperature of the smoke generated during moxibustion. Based on this temperature, the fan speed is adjusted to control the combustion, making the process more manageable and ensuring stable moxibustion. For example, in the initial stage of moxa combustion, the smoke is plentiful and the temperature is low. At this stage, the airflow needs to be increased to help the moxa reach a stable state as quickly as possible. Increased airflow also helps the moxa burn more completely, reducing the production of harmful gases. After the moxa reaches a stable state, the airflow is appropriately reduced to maintain a constant burning rate for a certain period. In the final stage of moxa combustion, the effective components have almost completely evaporated, leaving only carbonized plant fibers burning. This stage requires rapid combustion to end the treatment. Therefore, the airflow needs to be increased at this stage to accelerate the combustion process.

[0044] To prevent burns to patients, the thermocouple 72 is fixedly connected to the moxibustion site to measure the real-time temperature of the skin. The main control board 6 of the moxibustion device automatically adjusts the height of the lifting component 2 according to the real-time skin temperature, thereby changing the moxibustion distance and thus changing the temperature of the skin. This achieves closed-loop control of the moxibustion temperature, ensuring that the temperature of the skin remains constant at the set value throughout the entire moxibustion process.

[0045] The smoke produced by burning mugwort contains various harmful components. This invention employs a multi-stage filtration system to treat these components. First, the smoke passes through electrode plate 45, on which a high-voltage electric field is applied. Because the solid particles in the smoke carry a negative charge, they are adsorbed onto the electrode plate under the influence of the high-voltage electric field, thus eliminating the solid particles. Next, the smoke enters filter element 42, which contains activated carbon that absorbs harmful gases. Then, the smoke passes through PM2.5 sensor 47, which detects the content of solid particles in the remaining smoke. The main control board 6 of the moxibustion device adjusts the voltage of the atomizer 32 based on the content of solid particles in the remaining smoke, controlling the atomization volume in the water tank 31. After entering the water tank 31, the remaining solid particles combine with the atomized water droplets in the tank and settle inside. The remaining gas is discharged into the atmosphere through the air outlet 312. When the smoke from the moxa sticks circulates in the water tank 31, the baffle plate 313 in the water tank 31 divides the internal space of the water tank 31 into an S-shape, which helps to prolong the reaction time between the smoke from the moxa sticks and the atomized water droplets, and improves the purification effect of the smoke from the moxa sticks.
