Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion technology, and in particular to a moxa stick and moxibustion device that facilitates the cleaning of moxa ash. Background Technology

[0002] Moxibustion, also known as moxibustion therapy or moxibustion method, is a treatment method that uses moxa sticks or moxa cones made from mugwort leaves to stimulate acupoints or specific parts of the body with the heat generated by the moxa. By stimulating the activity of Qi in the meridians, it adjusts the disordered physiological and biochemical functions of the body, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases.

[0003] To reduce the smoke produced by moxibustion, smokeless moxa sticks are now commonly used. These sticks are made through compression and carbonization processes and are relatively hard. When burning, ash forms at the tip of the stick, reducing its effectiveness. Therefore, the ash needs to be cleaned frequently during moxibustion. The current method involves removing the moxa stick from the moxibustion frame and using a hard tool like a scalpel to remove the ash. The stick is then remounted, and this process is repeated every few minutes. This consumes limited medical resources, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the ash removal process is lengthy, impacting work efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, this application proposes an moxa stick and moxibustion device that facilitates the cleaning of moxa ash, in order to solve the aforementioned problem of inconvenience in cleaning moxa ash. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this invention is to provide a moxa stick and moxibustion device that facilitates the cleaning of moxa ash, thereby solving the problem of the inconvenience of cleaning moxa ash mentioned in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above and other related objectives, the present invention provides a moxibustion device for easy cleaning of moxa ash, comprising a moxa stick support mechanism, a moxa ash cleaning mechanism, and a fixing connector; The moxa stick support mechanism is used to support and limit the external moxa stick; The ash removal mechanism is located below the middle of the moxa stick support mechanism, and the ash removal mechanism can rotate about the connection between the moxa stick support mechanism and the ash removal mechanism and pass through the axis of the moxa stick support mechanism to break the ash. The fixed connector is located on the outer surface of the moxa stick support mechanism for connection with an external moxibustion bracket; The moxa stick support mechanism includes a moxa stick support cylinder, a moxa stick support plate at the lower end of the moxa stick support cylinder, the diameter of the moxa stick support plate being not less than the diameter of the moxa stick support cylinder, a ash removal port between the moxa stick support cylinder and the moxa stick support plate, a connecting rod on the side of the moxa stick support cylinder and the moxa stick support plate connecting the moxa stick support cylinder and the moxa stick support plate, and a ash-blocking mesh on the top of the moxa stick support plate. The ash cleaning mechanism includes an ash cleaning tube, the outer and inner diameters of which are equal to the outer and inner diameters of the moxa stick support cylinder. The height of the ash cleaning tube is adapted to the height of the ash cleaning port. A connecting shaft is provided on the upper part of the outer surface of the ash cleaning tube. The connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the moxa stick support cylinder. A lever arm handle is provided at the upper end of the connecting shaft. A limiting block is provided on the side of the connecting shaft.

[0007] Preferably, the outer surface of the moxa stick support cylinder is provided with a plurality of ventilation grooves at equal intervals, and the fixing connector covering the ventilation grooves is hollow; The inner wall of the moxa stick support cylinder is provided with multiple spiral rifling grooves, and the two ends of the spiral rifling grooves pass through the upper and lower ends of the moxa stick support cylinder, respectively.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the outer surface of the cleaning tube is provided with a fall arrestor, the fall arrestor is distributed at a 90-degree angle to the lever arm handle, and the diameter of the fall arrestor is smaller than the inner diameter of the moxa stick support cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, a support torsion spring is provided at the connection between the connecting shaft and the moxa stick support cylinder, and the two ends of the support torsion spring abut against the lever arm handle and the ash removal tube, respectively. The axis of the cleaning tube is perpendicular and collinear with the axis of the moxa stick support cylinder when the support torsion spring is in its natural bent state.

[0010] Preferably, the ash-blocking mesh is recessed into the top of the moxa stick support to form a groove, and the edge of the groove is provided with a number of buffer springs extending toward the axis of the moxa stick support, and the buffer springs are located above the ash-blocking mesh.

[0011] Preferably, the buffer spring is a strip-shaped metal structure, the buffer spring is elastic, and the top of the buffer spring is flush with the top of the moxa stick support.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the moxa stick support plate is provided with an external threaded tube, and the external threaded tube is provided with a spacing fine-tuning component that can be adjusted up and down.

[0013] Preferably, the spacing fine-tuning component includes a screw cap with internal threads, and the bottom of the screw cap is provided with a vent hole.

[0014] The moxa sticks are designed for easy cleaning of ash and are designed to be easily broken. These easily broken moxa sticks can be used in the aforementioned moxibustion device. The easily broken moxa stick includes a moxa column, the surface of which is provided with equally spaced fracture grooves to divide the moxa column into multiple sections. The height of each section of the moxa column is adapted to the height of the ash removal tube. The axis of the moxa column is provided with a combustion-supporting hole that completely penetrates the moxa column. The diameter of the moxa stick does not exceed the inner diameter of the moxa stick support cylinder.

[0015] Preferably, the fracture groove is configured with a fluffy structure, and the interior of the fracture groove is filled with a combustion accelerant and colored smoke powder.

[0016] As described above, the moxibustion device of the present invention, which facilitates the cleaning of moxa ash, has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention provides a moxa stick support plate at the bottom of the moxa stick support cylinder and a ash-cleaning port between the moxa stick support cylinder and the moxa stick support plate. A ash-cleaning pipe is installed at the ash-cleaning port and hinged to the moxa stick support cylinder via a connecting shaft. When it is necessary to clean the moxa ash, the ash-cleaning pipe is rotated outward by turning the lever handle, thereby breaking off the moxa ash and causing it to fall out of the ash-cleaning pipe, thus achieving the effect of convenient cleaning of moxa ash.

[0017] 2. The present invention provides a fall arrestor at the top of the side of the ash cleaning tube. After the ash cleaning tube rotates out of the ash cleaning port, the fall arrestor enters the ash cleaning port to support the moxa stick, thus preventing the moxa stick from falling into the ash cleaning port and blocking the ash cleaning tube from resetting. Meanwhile, the ash-blocking mesh is recessed and installed inside the moxa stick support plate, and an elastic buffer spring is set above the ash-blocking mesh, flush with the top of the moxa stick support plate. When the moxa stick falls, the buffer spring is used to reduce the impact force when the moxa stick falls, so as to prevent the moxa stick from being extinguished under the impact force. The buffer spring can also lift the bottom of the moxa stick and leave a gap between it and the ash-blocking mesh, so as to prevent the burning end of the moxa stick from being completely blocked by the ash-blocking mesh and thus burning incompletely.

[0018] 3. This invention features an external threaded tube at the bottom of the moxa stick support, and a threaded adjustment component for adjusting the spacing on the external threaded tube. The combination of the external threaded tube and the spacing adjustment component allows the heat from the burning moxa stick to be concentrated at the moxibustion point, thus improving the moxibustion effect. At the same time, adjusting the height of the spacing adjustment component finely adjusts the distance between the spacing adjustment component and the human body, further enhancing the moxibustion effect.

[0019] 4. This invention provides ventilation grooves on the outer surface of the moxa stick support cylinder and helical rifling on the inner wall of the moxa stick support cylinder. When the moxa stick burns, the ventilation grooves can increase the airflow in the moxa stick support cylinder, while the helical rifling can leave a gap between the outer surface of the moxa stick and the inner wall of the moxa stick support cylinder to allow air to circulate, thereby improving the combustion stability of the moxa stick.

[0020] 5. This invention divides the moxa stick into multiple sections at equal intervals by setting fracture grooves at equal intervals on the moxa stick, and makes the length of each section of the moxa stick match the height of the ash removal pipe. When cleaning the moxa ash through the ash removal pipe, the burned moxa stick will be broken off from the fracture groove, which further improves the convenience of cleaning the moxa ash.

[0021] 6. This invention creates a loose structure at the fracture groove and fills it with a combustion accelerator and colored smoke powder. The loose structure and combustion accelerator make it easier for the fracture groove to burn and ignite the previous section of the moxa stick, and make it easier to break the moxa stick from the fracture groove. The colored smoke powder produces colored smoke after burning, which can remind the operator that the previous section of the moxa stick has burned and that the ash removal operation can be performed.

[0036] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification.

They are not intended to limit the scope of the invention and therefore have no substantial technical significance.

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

[0038] like Figures 1-4 , Figure 6 and Figure 11As shown, this invention provides a moxibustion device for easy cleaning of moxa ash, including a moxa stick support mechanism 1, an moxa ash cleaning mechanism 2, and a fixing connector 3. The moxa stick support mechanism 1 supports and limits the external moxa stick, allowing it to burn inside the mechanism. The moxa ash cleaning mechanism 2 is hinged to the lower middle part of the moxa stick support mechanism 1 and can rotate about the hinge point, passing through the axis of the support mechanism 1, to break off the moxa ash. The fixing connector 3 is a clamp with a hinge joint, fixed to the outer surface of the support mechanism 1. It connects to various types of external moxibustion supports via a connector, providing support and angle adjustment for the entire device. The connector on the fixing connector 3 can be a quick-connect or a fast-release connector. It connects to a handheld moxibustion support for convenient acupoint exploration, or to a floor-standing moxibustion support for fixing a specific area for moxibustion.

[0039] Specifically, the moxa stick support mechanism 1 includes a moxa stick support cylinder 11, and a moxa stick support plate 12 is provided at the lower end of the moxa stick support cylinder 11. The diameter of the moxa stick support plate 12 is not less than the diameter of the moxa stick support cylinder 11. A ash removal port 13 is provided between the moxa stick support cylinder 11 and the moxa stick support plate 12. A connecting rod 14 is provided on the side of the moxa stick support cylinder 11 and the moxa stick support plate 12 to connect the moxa stick support cylinder 11 and the moxa stick support plate 12, so that the moxa ash removal mechanism 2 can swing eccentrically in the ash removal port 13 to break the moxa stick located at the ash removal port 13. An ash-blocking net 121 is provided at the top of the moxa stick support plate 12 to support the bottom of the moxa stick. The heat from the burning moxa stick can pass through the ash-blocking net 121 to act on the patient's acupoints, while the moxa ash that falls when the moxa stick burns will be blocked by the ash-blocking net 121 to avoid scalding the patient. The ash cleaning mechanism 2 includes an ash cleaning pipe 21. The outer and inner diameters of the ash cleaning pipe 21 are equal to the outer and inner diameters of the moxa stick support cylinder 11. The height of the ash cleaning pipe 21 is matched with the height of the ash cleaning port 13. The equal outer diameter is used to improve aesthetics and sealing, while the equal inner diameter is used to allow the moxa stick in the moxa stick support cylinder 11 to fall more smoothly into the ash cleaning pipe 21. The height of the ash cleaning pipe 21 is also used to improve sealing. A connecting shaft 22 is provided on the upper part of the outer surface of the ash cleaning pipe 21. The connecting shaft 22 is hinged to the bottom of the outer surface of the moxa stick support cylinder 11. A lever handle 23 is provided at the upper end of the connecting shaft 22. The ash cleaning operation can be performed when the burning height of the moxa stick exceeds the height of the ash cleaning pipe 21. Before cleaning the ash, place a container under the cleaning tube 21 and then turn the lever 23. The lever 23 will cause the cleaning tube 21 to rotate eccentrically around the connecting shaft 22, thereby applying pressure to the moxa stick through the cleaning tube 21, causing the end of the moxa stick to break off. The broken ash will fall from the lower opening of the cleaning tube 21 into the container under the action of gravity, achieving convenient ash cleaning. After the ash cleaning is completed, the cleaning tube 21 is reset to the cleaning port 13, and the moxa stick will fall into the interior of the cleaning tube 21 under the action of gravity to continue moxibustion. The side of the connecting shaft 22 is provided with a limiting block 26 to limit the reset of the cleaning tube 21, so as to prevent the cleaning tube 21 from rotating excessively and failing to achieve the sealing function.

[0040] When cleaning the moxa ash, try not to operate on the patient's skin. Instead, rotate the device to the side of the patient by rotating the support arm of the moxibustion holder before cleaning the ash to avoid accidents. After cleaning the ash, rotate the device to the patient's acupoint.

[0041] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer surface of the moxa stick support cylinder 11 of the present invention is provided with a plurality of ventilation grooves 111 at equal intervals, so as to allow external air to enter the interior of the moxa stick support cylinder 11, so as to avoid oxygen deficiency during moxa stick combustion and improve the stability of moxa stick combustion. The fixed connector 3 is hollowed out at the ventilation grooves 111 to avoid covering the ventilation grooves 111 and reducing the air circulation. The inner wall of the moxa stick support cylinder 11 is provided with multiple spiral rifling grooves 112. The two ends of the spiral rifling grooves 112 pass through the upper and lower ends of the moxa stick support cylinder 11, respectively. When the outer surface of the moxa stick is attached to the inner wall of the moxa stick support cylinder 11, the spiral rifling grooves 112 can create a gap between the outer surface of the moxa stick and the inner wall of the moxa stick support cylinder 11 for ventilation, which can further improve the combustion efficiency of the moxa stick.

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the outer surface of the ash-cleaning tube 21 of the present invention is provided with a fall arrestor 25. The fall arrestor 25 is distributed at a 90-degree angle with the lever arm 23. When the ash-cleaning tube 21 rotates out of the ash-cleaning port 13, the fall arrestor 25 will gradually rotate along the lower edge of the moxa stick support cylinder 11 to the ash-cleaning port 13 to support the bottom of the broken moxa stick, so as to prevent the moxa stick from falling into the ash-cleaning port 13 and interfering with the repositioning of the ash-cleaning tube 21. The diameter of the fall arrestor 25 is smaller than the inner diameter of the moxa stick support cylinder 11. Thus, while the fall arrestor 25 supports the bottom of the moxa stick, it can also make the bottom of the moxa stick contact with the air, reducing the possibility of the moxa stick going out during the ash-cleaning process. In order to further improve the stability of the burning of the moxa stick, the fall arrestor 25 can be provided with air holes to increase the contact area between the end of the moxa stick and the air.

[0043] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a support torsion spring 24 is provided at the connection between the connecting shaft 22 and the moxa stick support cylinder 11. The two ends of the support torsion spring 24 abut against the lever arm 23 and the ash-cleaning tube 21, respectively. In the naturally stretched state, the axis of the ash-cleaning tube 21 is perpendicular and collinear with the axis of the moxa stick support cylinder 11. During normal moxibustion, the support torsion spring 24 keeps the ash-cleaning tube 21 coaxial with the moxa stick support cylinder 11 through its own elasticity and avoids the shaking of the ash-cleaning tube 21, so as to ensure the sealing of the connection between the ash-cleaning tube 21 and the ash-cleaning port 13. During the cleaning of moxa ash, by releasing the pressure on the lever arm 23, the ash-cleaning tube 21 can quickly rebound to the initial position under the elastic action of the support torsion spring 24, and be limited by the limiting block 26 to ensure that the ash-cleaning tube 21 is in a sealed state after resetting, reducing operation steps and improving the ease of operation.

[0044] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the ash-blocking mesh 121 of the present invention is recessed into the top of the moxa stick support plate 12 to form a groove, so that there is a gap between the axis of the burning end of the moxa stick and the ash-blocking mesh 121, avoiding the burning end of the moxa stick being compressed, resulting in incomplete and unstable combustion; the edge of the groove is provided with a number of buffer springs 123 extending towards the axis of the moxa stick support plate 12. The buffer springs 123 are located above the ash-blocking mesh 121 and are used to support the burning end of the moxa stick. The gap between the buffer springs 123 allows the burning end of the moxa stick to contact the air to achieve more stable combustion. While cleaning the moxa ash, a slight blow towards the ash-blocking mesh 121 can make the floating ash that has fallen into the ash-blocking mesh 121 float out, without the need to disassemble and dump it like a traditional ash mesh.

[0045] like Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the buffer spring 123 of the present invention is a strip-shaped metal structure with rounded edges to avoid obstructing the movement of the moxa stick. An oblique pull is provided at the connection between the buffer spring 123 and the moxa stick support plate 12 to prevent the buffer spring 123 from deforming upwards under high temperature. The buffer spring 123 is elastic; when the moxa stick is cleaned and falls, the elastic buffer spring 123 can cushion the fall of the moxa stick, preventing the burning end of the moxa stick from being excessively impacted and extinguished. The top of the buffer spring 123 is flush with the top of the moxa stick support plate 12. When the ash-cleaning tube 21 rotates to clean the ash, the upper surface of the buffer spring 123 supporting the end of the moxa stick is flush with the upper surface of the moxa stick support plate 12, making it easier for the ash to be pushed to the outside of the ash-cleaning port 13 by the ash-cleaning tube 21.

[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the moxa stick support plate 12 of the present invention is provided with an external threaded tube 122, and the external threaded tube 122 is provided with a spacing fine adjustment part 4 that can be adjusted up and down. The heat of the burning moxa stick will be more concentrated through the external threaded tube 122 and the spacing fine adjustment part 4, and the heat focusing point can be changed by adjusting the spacing fine adjustment part 4 up and down. In order to make the spacing fine adjustment part 4 adjustable at any time, the spacing fine adjustment part 4 is made of ceramic fiber (temperature resistance 1200-1600℃, thermal conductivity 0.03-0.1 W / (m·K)), and the outer surface is painted smooth to give it the effect of high temperature resistance and heat preservation.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the spacing adjustment component 4 of the present invention includes a screw cap 41 with internal threads. The screw cap 41 is threaded to the external threaded tube 122 through the internal threads, which can realize the up and down adjustment of the screw cap 41. The bottom of the screw cap 41 is provided with a vent hole 42 for heat transmission and to block a small amount of falling moxa ash, which can further prevent the patient from being burned.

[0048] like Figures 8-13 As shown, the moxa stick that is easy to clean up the ash is the easily broken moxa stick 5, which can be used in the above-mentioned moxibustion device; The easily breakable moxa stick 5 includes a moxa cone 51. The surface of the moxa cone 51 has equally spaced fracture grooves 52, dividing the moxa cone 51 into multiple sections, making it easy to break the moxa cone 51 at the fracture grooves 52. The height of each section of the moxa cone 51 is adapted to the height of the ash-cleaning tube 21. When the ash-cleaning tube 21 rotates and applies force to the moxa cone 51, the force at the upper end of the ash-cleaning tube 21 is precisely located at the fracture groove 52, causing the moxa cone 51 to break at the fracture groove 52. The axis of the moxa cone 51 has a combustion-supporting hole 53 that completely penetrates the moxa cone 51, used for lifting and... The increased air contact area allows the moxa stick 51 to burn more stably and makes it easier to break. The diameter of the moxa stick 51 does not exceed the inner diameter of the moxa stick support cylinder 11 to reduce the friction between the outer surface of the moxa stick 51 and the inner wall of the moxa stick support cylinder 11, thus allowing the moxa stick 51 to fall more stably into the ash removal tube 21 under the action of gravity. When there is a gap between the outer surface of the moxa stick 51 and the inner wall of the moxa stick support cylinder 11, the airflow is stronger, and the moxa stick 51 is easier to break under force.

[0049] It is worth noting that the fracture groove 52 is designed with a loose structure to improve the burning speed at the fracture groove 52 and make it easier to break. The interior of the fracture groove 52 is filled with a combustion aid (harmless components such as potassium tartrate) and colored smoke powder (harmless substances such as tin oxide / copper oxide). When the lower section of the moxa stick 51 burns to the position of the fracture groove 52, the upper section of the moxa stick 51 can be quickly ignited under the action of the combustion aid, which can effectively improve the continuity of the overall burning of the easily broken moxa stick 5. The colored smoke powder will produce a small amount of harmless colored smoke when burning, which is used to remind the operator that the easily broken moxa stick 5 has burned to the upper section of the moxa stick 51, and the lower part can be cleaned.

[0050] The specific usage process of this invention is as follows: The entire device is installed on the moxibustion bracket using the fixing connector 3, and the position of the entire device is adjusted to the patient's acupoint. Then, one end of the easily broken moxa stick 5 is ignited, and the ignited end is placed downwards into the upper opening of the moxa stick support cylinder 11, so that the end of the easily broken moxa stick 5 contacts the buffer spring 123. The heat from the burning easily broken moxa stick 5 acts on the patient's acupoint through the vent 42. When colored smoke is produced above the moxa stick support cylinder 11, it indicates that the easily broken moxa stick 5 has burned to the previous section. At this time, the entire device is moved to the side of the patient by rotating the arm of the moxibustion bracket, and the container is placed at the bottom of the device. Then, the ash removal tube 21 is driven to rotate by the lever handle 23 to break off the section that has burned into ash. The broken ash will fall into the container under the action of gravity and be collected. Then, the entire device is reset and moxibustion treatment is continued for the patient.

[0051] In summary, the moxibustion device for easy cleaning of moxa ash of the present invention provides a moxa stick support plate 12 at the bottom of the moxa stick support cylinder 11, and a cleaning port 13 between the moxa stick support cylinder 11 and the moxa stick support plate 12. At the same time, a cleaning tube 21 is provided at the cleaning port 13 and is hinged to the moxa stick support cylinder 11 via a connecting shaft 22. When it is necessary to clean the moxa ash, the cleaning tube 21 is rotated outward of the cleaning port 13 by turning the power arm handle 23, thereby breaking off the moxa ash and causing it to fall out of the cleaning tube 21, thus achieving the effect of easy cleaning of moxa ash.

[0052] The present invention provides a fall arrestor 25 on the top of the side of the ash cleaning tube 21. After the ash cleaning tube 21 rotates out of the ash cleaning port 13, the fall arrestor 25 enters the ash cleaning port 13 to support the moxa stick, so as to prevent the moxa stick from falling into the ash cleaning port 13 and blocking the ash cleaning tube 21 from resetting. Meanwhile, the ash-blocking mesh 121 is recessed and installed inside the moxa stick support plate 12, and a spring-loaded buffer 123 is set above the ash-blocking mesh 121, flush with the top of the moxa stick support plate 12 and having elasticity. When the moxa stick falls, the spring-loaded buffer 123 is used to reduce the impact force when the moxa stick falls, so as to prevent the moxa stick from being extinguished under the impact force. The spring-loaded buffer 123 can lift the bottom of the moxa stick and leave a gap between it and the ash-blocking mesh 121, so as to prevent the burning end of the moxa stick from being completely blocked by the ash-blocking mesh 121 and thus burning incompletely.

[0053] This invention provides an externally threaded tube 122 at the bottom of the moxa stick support plate 12, and a threaded adjustment element 4 for adjusting the spacing of the externally threaded tube 122. The externally threaded tube 122 and the spacing adjustment element 4 work together to concentrate the heat of the burning moxa stick at the moxibustion point, thereby improving the moxibustion effect. At the same time, the distance between the spacing adjustment element 4 and the human body can be finely adjusted by adjusting the height of the spacing adjustment element 4, thereby improving the moxibustion effect.

[0054] The present invention provides ventilation grooves 111 on the outer surface of the moxa stick support cylinder 11 and helical rifling 112 on the inner wall of the moxa stick support cylinder 11. When the moxa stick is burning, the ventilation grooves 111 can increase the air flow in the moxa stick support cylinder 11, while the helical rifling 112 can leave a gap between the outer surface of the moxa stick and the inner wall of the moxa stick support cylinder 11, so that air can circulate, thereby improving the combustion stability of the moxa stick.

[0055] The present invention divides the moxa stick 51 into multiple sections at equal intervals by setting fracture grooves 52 at equal intervals on the moxa stick 51, and makes the length of each section of moxa stick 51 match the height of the ash removal pipe 21. When cleaning the moxa ash through the ash removal pipe 21, the burned moxa stick 51 will be broken off from the fracture grooves 52, which further improves the convenience of cleaning the moxa ash.

[0056] This invention creates a loose structure at the fracture groove 52 and fills it with a combustion accelerant and colored smoke powder. The loose structure and combustion accelerant make it easier for the fracture groove 52 to burn and ignite the previous section of the moxa stick 51, and make it easier to break the moxa stick 51 from the fracture groove 52. The colored smoke powder produces colored smoke after burning, which can remind the operator that the previous section of the moxa stick 51 has burned and can be cleaned.

[0057] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
