Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine health care and smart wearable devices, specifically a moxibustion and massage integrated ring for weight loss and constipation relief. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the fast pace of life and the development of sedentary habits, abdominal sub-health issues are becoming increasingly prominent. Obesity, intractable constipation, and abdominal edema have become common problems. This not only affects physical appearance but also negatively impacts gastrointestinal metabolism and sleep quality. Therefore, seeking non-invasive physical conditioning and weight loss methods has become an urgent need for public health.

[0003] To address the aforementioned abdominal conditioning needs, existing technologies primarily employ physical stimulation devices. One type focuses on heat therapy, using electric heating belts or moxibustion boxes to cover the abdomen, raising skin surface temperature to dispel cold and dampness. Another type emphasizes mechanical movement, mainly in the form of vibrating fat-burning machines or kneading massagers, which use motors to generate external force, passively squeezing or vibrating abdominal muscles and soft tissues in an attempt to promote intestinal peristalsis.

[0004] However, existing technologies still have limitations in practical applications. Firstly, there is a lack of synergistic effect. While single-mode heat therapy can dilate pores, it lacks downward physical driving force, making it difficult for the medication to penetrate deeply; simple mechanical vibration acting on stiff tissue often only stimulates the surface and fails to reach deep smooth muscles. Secondly, there is poor adaptability to different scenarios. Current devices' motion sensing is mostly designed for daytime activities, lacking sleep-prevention logic; turning over at night can easily trigger strong vibrations, disrupting sleep. Thirdly, there are safety and hygiene concerns. Heating components are mostly fixed, making it difficult to clean away sweat residue and promoting bacterial growth; and a single temperature control mechanism cannot prevent localized heat accumulation, posing a risk of low-temperature burns with prolonged use. The cumbersome wearing process also reduces user willingness to use the device.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a moxibustion and massage integrated weight loss and constipation conditioning ring to address the shortcomings of the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a moxibustion and massage integrated weight loss and constipation conditioning ring, which solves the problems of poor deep conditioning effect caused by the separation of moxibustion and massage functions in existing abdominal conditioning devices, and the inability to take into account the issues of preventing accidental touch during sleep and ensuring hygienic and safe use.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a moxibustion and massage integrated weight loss and constipation relief ring, comprising: The ring-shaped main body has a moxibustion chamber slot on its inner side corresponding to the acupoints on the human abdomen. A moxibustion module, comprising a moxibustion patch installed in the slot of the moxibustion chamber, the moxibustion patch being used to generate heat energy; The massage module includes a miniature silent motor encapsulated inside the annular body and located below the moxibustion chamber slot, and a massage head connected to the output end of the miniature silent motor; the massage head is coaxially arranged with the moxibustion chamber slot and is used to generate mechanical vibrations that are transmitted to the moxibustion patch, thereby applying superimposed stimulation of moxibustion heat energy and massage kinetic energy to the acupoints. A control module, which is integrated into the annular body and electrically connected to the massage module, is used to control the vibration output of the massage module.

[0008] Preferably, the side wall of the moxibustion chamber slot is the inner wall of the moxibustion chamber slot, and the inner wall of the moxibustion chamber slot is provided with anti-slip texture for fixing the moxibustion patch; The bottom of the moxibustion chamber slot has several through-hole ventilation holes, which are used to balance the air pressure inside and outside the moxibustion chamber slot and assist in heat dissipation.

[0009] Preferably, the moxibustion patch has a layered composite structure, which includes, from the outside to the inside, a medical non-woven fabric outer layer, a layer of mugwort particles and heating material, a micro temperature control chip, and a medical pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The outer layer of the medical non-woven fabric encapsulates the mugwort particles, the heating material layer, and the micro temperature control chip into one piece, and the medical pressure-sensitive adhesive layer fully covers the back of the moxibustion patch.

[0010] Preferably, the micro temperature control chip is embedded in the center of the mugwort particles and the heating material layer, and is used to monitor the heating temperature and cut off the heating reaction when the temperature exceeds a preset safe temperature threshold. The mugwort granules and heating material layer comprise mugwort granules, ginger extract, and an oxidative heating material containing iron powder and activated carbon.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes a motion detection module integrated inside the annular body. The motion detection module includes an accelerometer, which is used to detect the wearer's waist movement amplitude and generate an effective motion signal when the detected displacement amplitude is greater than or equal to a preset movement amplitude threshold.

[0012] Preferably, the control module is used to execute daytime mode logic and sleep mode logic; Under the daytime mode logic, when the valid motion signal is received, the control module controls the massage module to increase the vibration intensity level; Under the sleep mode logic, the control module blocks the effective motion signal and maintains the vibration intensity level of the massage module.

[0013] Preferably, the outer side of the ring-shaped main body is provided with invisible touch keys and indicator lights; The control module responds to the long press command of the invisible touch key to start the sleep mode, drives the indicator light to display the preset sleep mode color light signal, and controls the micro silent motor to execute the preset intermittent working logic.

[0014] Preferably, the control module integrates a timer, which is used to accumulate running time after the sleep mode is started; When the accumulated time reaches the preset shutdown time threshold, the control module automatically cuts off the power supply circuit of the massage module and controls the indicator light to flash.

[0015] Preferably, the massage module supports multi-level vibration frequency adjustment, including a first preset frequency vibration level, a second preset frequency vibration level, and a third preset frequency vibration level. The massage head is made of soft silicone material and has a raised structure.

[0016] Preferably, it also includes a power supply module, which includes an ultra-thin lithium battery embedded inside the annular body and a magnetic charging interface disposed on the outer edge of the annular body, the magnetic charging interface being embedded in the silicone layer of the annular body.

[0017] This invention provides a combined moxibustion and massage ring for weight loss and constipation relief. It has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention, by placing a miniature silent motor below the moxibustion chamber slot, allows mechanical vibration waves to directly penetrate the heating moxibustion patch and act on acupoints. This structure utilizes heat energy to warm and unblock meridians and expand pores, combined with the physical thrust of mechanical vibration, which not only accelerates the penetration of mugwort components and enhances gastrointestinal motility, but also produces a synergistic improvement effect on constipation, abdominal edema, and obesity that is superior to single-function devices.

[0018] 2. This invention integrates a motion detection module and is configured with differentiated control logic: in daytime mode, the system automatically enhances vibration based on the amplitude of movement to assist metabolism; in sleep mode, it automatically blocks motion detection signals and executes silent intermittent vibration and a timed shutdown program. This logic design not only meets the need for enhanced daytime movement but also ensures that the system is not disturbed by accidental triggering during nighttime sleep, accurately matching the golden period for pre-sleep conditioning, and achieving compatibility of one device for multiple scenarios.

[0019] 3. This invention employs a consumable moxibustion patch structure with a built-in micro temperature control chip. The chip can physically cut off the reaction when the temperature exceeds the limit, effectively reducing the risk of low-temperature burns. Simultaneously, the moxibustion patch is fixed in the slot by a medical pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, achieving disposable hygiene management and quick installation and removal. This avoids the shortcomings of traditional devices, such as difficulty in cleaning and complex operation, thus improving user compliance. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] See attached document Figure 1 This invention provides a moxibustion and massage integrated weight loss and constipation relief ring, whose main physical carrier includes a ring-shaped body 1. The ring-shaped body 1 is made of food-grade liquid silicone material through injection molding. This material is biocompatible and physically elastic. The structural design of the ring-shaped body 1 allows it to adapt to users with waist circumferences ranging from 65 cm to 110 cm. To improve breathability and stability during wear and prevent the device from shifting when the user turns over in their sleep, the inner surface of the ring-shaped body 1, i.e., the side that contacts the skin during wear, is laminated with a breathable cotton layer, and the surface of this breathable cotton layer is provided with an anti-slip texture. In terms of dimensions, the overall thickness of the ring-shaped body 1 is 5 mm, and the weight of the entire device is controlled to be less than or equal to 23 grams, to meet the wearing needs in nighttime sleep scenarios.

[0024] A component for human-computer interaction is provided on the outer surface of the ring-shaped main body 1. Specifically, an invisible touch key 2 with a diameter of 8 mm is provided on the outer side of the ring-shaped main body 1. The invisible touch key 2 is integrated under the silicone surface layer, forming a smooth surface structure, and is electrically connected to the internal control circuit to receive user operation commands. These operation commands include a short press to execute the command to turn on or adjust the vibration level, and a long press for 3 seconds to execute the command to activate sleep mode or turn off. An indicator light 4 is provided next to the invisible touch key 2. The indicator light 4 is connected to the internal control circuit and is configured to display different colored light signals to correspond to different operating modes. Specifically, the indicator light 4 displays green light for gentle mode, yellow light for comfortable mode, red light for strong mode, and blue light for sleep mode.

[0025] In addition, a magnetic charging interface 5 is provided on the outer edge of the annular body 1. The magnetic charging interface 5 adopts a hidden design and is embedded in the silicone layer of the annular body 1 to maintain the integrity of the device's appearance and meet the IPX5 waterproof standard. The magnetic charging interface 5 is electrically connected to the internal power supply module 500 and is used to replenish the device's built-in battery with the help of an external magnetic charger. The inner side of the annular body 1 is provided with a moxibustion chamber slot 3 corresponding to the positions of the Zhongwan acupoint and the left and right Tianshu acupoints on the human body. This slot is used to install the moxibustion module 100 and transmit power to the massage module. The specific structure of the moxibustion module 100, massage module 200, motion detection module 300, control module 400, and power supply module 500 will be discussed in subsequent embodiments. Figures 2 to 5 Provide a detailed description.

[0026] See attached document Figure 2 - Appendix Figure 4 The acupoint massage weight loss and constipation reduction ring provided by this invention achieves multi-functional conditioning through system integration. The moxibustion module 100 is configured to provide constant temperature heat therapy and drug penetration. The moxibustion module 100 mainly includes a slot structure located inside the ring body 1 and removable and replaceable moxibustion consumables.

[0027] On the inner surface of the annular body 1, corresponding to the Zhongwan acupoint on the abdomen and the Tianshu acupoints on the left and right sides, three moxibustion chamber slots 3 are integrally formed by a mold. Each moxibustion chamber slot 3 has a diameter of 10.5 mm and a depth of 3 mm, forming a recessed space for accommodating the moxibustion patch 6. The sidewall of the moxibustion chamber slot 3 is defined as the inner wall 7 of the moxibustion chamber slot. The surface of this inner wall has a microscopic anti-slip texture to prevent the moxibustion patch 6 from shifting during wear or exercise by increasing friction. Three ventilation holes 8 are provided at the bottom of the moxibustion chamber slot 3, penetrating the diaphragm layer at the bottom of the slot. Each ventilation hole 8 has a diameter of 0.3 mm, used to balance the air pressure inside and outside the moxibustion chamber slot 3, assist in the volatilization of the mugwort components, and prevent excessive local heat accumulation.

[0028] The Moxibustion Patch 6 is designed as a single-use package containing 3 patches. Each patch is a circular sheet, 10 mm in diameter and 1.8 mm thick. Figure 4 As shown, the internal structure of the moxibustion patch 6 adopts a layered composite structure, which includes, from the outside to the inside, a medical non-woven fabric outer layer 14, an artemisia argyi granule and heating material layer 12, a micro temperature control chip 13, and a medical pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11. The medical non-woven fabric outer layer 14 serves as the encapsulation shell and has breathable and flame-retardant properties.

[0029] The mugwort granules and heating material layer 12 are located inside the medical non-woven fabric outer layer 14, with a thickness of 1.6 mm. This layer is composed of 50-mesh ultrafine mugwort granules and ginger extract, and is stitched together with the mini heat pack matrix material, which includes iron powder and activated carbon to oxidize the heating material. A micro temperature control chip 13, with a thickness of 0.2 mm, is embedded in the center of the mugwort granules and heating material layer 12. The micro temperature control chip 13 is configured to monitor the heating temperature and control the heating response. The micro temperature control chip 13 is set with a physical melting threshold of 45 degrees Celsius. When the detected temperature exceeds 45 degrees Celsius, it automatically cuts off the heating response to prevent burns. Under normal operating conditions, the micro temperature control chip 13 controls the peak heating temperature between 43 degrees Celsius and 45 degrees Celsius and locks the effective heating time to 3 hours.

[0030] The medical pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11 completely covers the back of the moxibustion patch 6, that is, the side facing the human skin. The edges of the medical pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11 are rounded to secure the moxibustion patch 6 within the moxibustion chamber slot 3. During use, the heat generated by the moxibustion patch 6 acts on the acupoints through the vents 8 and the contact surface to achieve moxibustion therapy.

[0031] See attached document Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 In this embodiment of the invention, the massage module 200 is located inside the annular body 1 and is used to generate physical mechanical vibrations and act on specific acupoints of the human body. The massage module 200 mainly includes three miniature silent motors 10 and massage heads 9 respectively connected to the output end of each miniature silent motor 10.

[0032] In terms of physical layout, three miniature silent motors 10 are encapsulated within the internal structure of the annular main body 1, their positions strictly corresponding to the physical lower positions of the aforementioned three moxibustion chamber slots 3. The massage head 9 is made of medical-grade soft silicone and designed as a raised structure with a height of 3 mm. The massage head 9 is coaxially arranged with the corresponding moxibustion chamber slot 3, that is, the massage head 9 is located on the back of the bottom of the moxibustion chamber slot 3. When the moxibustion patch 6 is inserted into the moxibustion chamber slot 3, the mechanical vibration waves generated by the massage head 9 can pass through the diaphragm layer at the bottom of the moxibustion chamber slot 3 and be transmitted to the moxibustion patch 6, making the moxibustion patch 6 the vibration interface that actually contacts the skin, thereby achieving physical stimulation of the Zhongwan and Tianshu acupoints.

[0033] The miniature silent motor 10 is configured for low-noise operation, with its noise level controlled to be less than or equal to 25 decibels to prevent disturbance to the user's sleep during nighttime use. The massage module 200 is electrically connected to the control module 400 and supports three levels of vibration frequency adjustment. Specifically, the three levels include: a first vibration level with a vibration frequency of 3000 times per minute; a second vibration level with a vibration frequency of 5000 times per minute; and a third vibration level with a vibration frequency of 8000 times per minute. Furthermore, the massage module 200 is configured to respond to sleep mode commands. When the device is in sleep mode, the massage module 200 automatically switches to the first vibration level and executes intermittent operating logic. This intermittent operating logic is defined as follows: the miniature silent motor 10 vibrates continuously for 5 seconds, then stops outputting for 5 seconds, repeating this cycle to simulate the rhythm of manual massage.

[0034] See attached document Figure 5 In this embodiment of the invention, the motion detection module 300 is integrated into the internal circuit structure of the ring-shaped body 1 to monitor the user's posture changes and movement status in real time. The core component of the motion detection module 300 is a triaxial accelerometer, which is fixed to the main control circuit board inside the ring-shaped body 1 through a waterproof encapsulation process and establishes a data communication connection with the control module 400.

[0035] The motion detection module 300 is configured to identify specific limb movements based on a preset motion amplitude threshold. In this embodiment, the motion amplitude threshold is set to 30 degrees. When the triaxial accelerometer detects that the wearer's waist has rotated, tilted to the side, or experienced a displacement greater than or equal to 30 degrees due to brisk walking, the motion detection module 300 generates a valid motion signal. The physical significance of this threshold setting is to distinguish between the user's valid motion behavior and minor daily physiological swaying, thereby providing an accurate trigger source for subsequent control logic.

[0036] The working logic of the motion detection module 300 is closely related to the device's operating mode, and is divided into daytime mode logic and sleep mode logic. In daytime mode, the motion detection module 300 is active. When the motion detection module 300 outputs a valid motion signal, the control module 400 immediately starts the motion linkage program. This program sends control commands to the massage module 200 to forcibly increase the current vibration intensity level by one level. For example, if the current vibration level is the first level, after detecting motion with an amplitude exceeding 30 degrees, the system automatically switches to the second vibration level to enhance the physical stimulation intensity in conjunction with the motion state.

[0037] In sleep mode, the signal response mechanism of the motion detection module 300 is programmed to be disabled. When the user activates sleep mode via the invisible touch key 2, the control module 400 automatically disconnects the logical association between the motion detection signal and the massage intensity adjustment. In this state, even if the user turns over during sleep and the amplitude of the movement is captured by the sensor and exceeds 30 degrees, the system will not execute the vibration intensity increase command. This signal shielding logic ensures that the device always remains in the preset gentle vibration mode or a static state at night, preventing unconscious movements during sleep from accidentally triggering strong vibrations.

[0038] See attached document Figure 1 and attached Figure 5 In this embodiment of the invention, the control module 400 serves as the system's logic operation and instruction execution center. Its hardware carrier is a flexible printed circuit board integrated within the inner layer of the ring-shaped main body 1. The flexible printed circuit board encapsulates a microcontroller unit (MCU) and related peripheral driving circuits. In terms of electrical connection topology, the input terminals of the control module 400 are electrically connected to the invisible touch key 2 located on the outside of the ring-shaped main body 1, the accelerometer in the motion detection module 300, and the power supply module 500, respectively. Its output terminals are connected to the indicator light 4 and the three miniature silent motors 10 included in the massage module 200, respectively.

[0039] The control module 400 is configured to identify user commands and execute corresponding mode switching logic by monitoring changes in the level signal of the invisible touch key 2. When the control module 400 detects a low-level signal from the invisible touch key 2 for a duration of 3 seconds or more, the microcontroller unit determines that the operation is a trigger command to activate sleep mode. In response to this command, the control module 400 immediately outputs a specific drive voltage to the indicator light 4, causing the indicator light 4 to continuously emit a blue light signal to indicate that the device has entered sleep mode. At the same time, the control module 400 sends a specific pulse width modulation signal to the massage module 200, controlling the speed of the micro silent motor 10 to the first vibration level of 3000 times per minute, and cyclically outputting drive current according to a sequence of 5 seconds of vibration followed by 5 seconds of pause, thereby realizing the intermittent vibration function. In addition, when sleep mode is activated, the control module 400 shields the interrupt signal from the motion detection module 300 at the software logic level to ensure that the vibration level does not change due to changes in the user's body posture.

[0040] The control module 400 integrates a time-adaptive management program designed to precisely synchronize the massage duration with the effective heat generation time of the moxibustion patch. When the device starts working or enters sleep mode, the hardware timer inside the control module 400 begins accumulating running time. The timer's count value is preset to 3 hours. When the accumulated time of the hardware timer reaches the 3-hour threshold, the microcontroller unit automatically triggers a shutdown procedure. This shutdown procedure includes two specific execution steps: First, the control module 400 cuts off the power supply circuit to the massage module 200, forcing all micro silent motors 10 to stop mechanical vibration; second, the control module 400 sends a pulse signal to the indicator light 4, driving the indicator light 4 to perform three consecutive short flashes, serving as an optical feedback signal indicating the end of the current treatment cycle. This duration control mechanism ensures a strict match between the physical massage effect and the thermochemical effect of the moxibustion patch 6 in the time dimension.

[0041] See attached document Figure 1 and attached Figure 5 In this embodiment of the invention, the power supply module 500, serving as the system's energy source, is physically integrated into the internal sealed cavity of the annular body 1, providing operating voltage to the micro-temperature control chip 13 in the control module 400, massage module 200, and moxibustion module 100. The core of the power supply module 500 includes a custom-designed ultra-thin lithium polymer battery cell and a matching power management circuit. The thickness of this ultra-thin lithium polymer battery cell is strictly controlled to 2 mm, and the battery capacity is set to 200 mAh. This specific size and capacity ratio allows the battery cell to be completely embedded within the annular body 1, which has an overall thickness of 5 mm, without altering the device's external streamlined profile or causing any local protrusions.

[0042] The power supply module 500 establishes an energy transmission channel with an external power source through a magnetic charging interface 5 located on the outer edge of the ring-shaped main body 1. The magnetic charging interface 5 features a concealed design, and combined with the liquid silicone injection molding process that fully encapsulates the surface of the ring-shaped main body 1, the power supply module 500 and the entire device possess IPX5 waterproof performance, effectively preventing sweat penetration or water spray during daily cleaning, ensuring the safety of the internal circuitry. The power management circuit is configured to execute fast charging logic. When the magnetic charging interface 5 is connected to an external magnetic charger, the circuit adjusts the charging current, enabling a 200mAh battery cell to be fully charged from a depleted state to a fully charged state within one hour.

[0043] The power supply module 500 integrates voltage monitoring and protection logic. The power management circuit features overcharge protection; when the battery voltage reaches the saturation threshold, it automatically cuts off the charging circuit to prevent battery overheating or damage. Simultaneously, the power management circuit monitors the battery output voltage in real time; when the voltage falls below a preset low-battery threshold, it sends an interrupt signal to the control module 400, triggering a low-battery warning function. Regarding power consumption control, the power supply module 500 supports up to 7 days of battery life in standby mode. Under typical operating conditions with sleep mode enabled—that is, when the massage module 200 is driven to intermittently vibrate and maintain system logic operations—the cumulative power consumption for 8 hours of continuous operation is only 30% of the total battery capacity. This energy efficiency ensures that the device can support continuous use for several nights without frequent charging.

[0044] This invention also provides a manufacturing process for the aforementioned acupoint massage weight-loss and constipation-reducing ring. This process mainly includes two parts: the molding and assembly of the ring-shaped main body and the composite preparation of the moxibustion consumables. In the preparation stage of the ring-shaped main body 1, food-grade liquid silicone is first selected as the base material. The production line is equipped with a dedicated precision injection mold. The cavity structure of this mold is designed to match the geometry of the ring-shaped main body 1, specifically including a ring-shaped outer contour, three recessed structures of moxibustion chamber slots 3 located on the inner side corresponding to acupoints, and ventilation holes 8 forming needles located at the bottom of the moxibustion chamber slots 3. Through liquid silicone injection molding (LSR), liquid silicone is injected under high pressure into a closed mold for high-temperature vulcanization and shaping, thereby integrally molding the ring-shaped main body 1 with a specified thickness and elasticity. During the molding process or in the secondary processing stage after molding, a breathable cotton layer is laminated to the inner wall contact surface of the ring-shaped main body 1 using hot pressing or bonding processes, and an anti-slip texture is molded to increase friction and comfort during wear.

[0045] For the integration of the internal electronic system of the device, the three miniature silent motors 10 included in the massage module 200, the accelerometer in the motion detection module 300, the main control circuit board of the control module 400, and the ultra-thin lithium battery of the power supply module 500 are first electrically soldered and connected according to the circuit schematic. After the electrical connection is completed, the entire electronic component is functionally tested to verify the accuracy of the logic control and drive signals. The electronic component that passes the test is then waterproofed and encapsulated using waterproof glue potting or nano-waterproof coating technology to form an electronic module with IPX5 waterproof capability. This electronic module is embedded in the cavity reserved inside the annular body 1, or it is directly encapsulated in the silicone material as an insert during liquid silicone injection molding. Finally, any openings in the annular body 1 are closed by a sealing process, leaving only the contacts of the magnetic charging interface 5 at the corresponding positions.

[0046] The moxibustion patch 6 is prepared using a multi-layer composite process. First, an inner layer 12 of mugwort granules and heating material is prepared. Ultrafine mugwort granules (screened to 50 mesh), ginger extract, and self-heating material powder are uniformly mixed. During the spreading of the mixed powder, a 0.2 mm thick micro-temperature control chip 13 is precisely positioned and embedded in the center of the powder layer. Then, using a medical non-woven fabric sewing device, a breathable and flame-retardant medical non-woven fabric outer layer 14 is used to wrap and sew the mixed material and micro-temperature control chip 13, controlling the thickness of the core layer to 1.6 mm. After encapsulation, a medical pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11 is fully coated on the back of the moxibustion patch 6. Finally, the composite strip-shaped semi-finished product is fed into a die-cutting machine and cut into circular patches with a diameter of 10 mm and rounded edges. Three moxibustion patches 6 are packaged as a unit in aluminum foil bags for vacuum or sealed packaging to prevent the heating material from becoming ineffective due to air exposure before use.

[0047] See attached document Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 This invention provides a user operation process based on the above-mentioned acupoint massage weight loss and constipation reduction ring, which covers the complete usage cycle of device preparation, wearing and activation, and subsequent maintenance. In the preparation stage for nighttime use, first remove the moxibustion patch 6 from its individually sealed packaging. Then, peel off the protective film covering the medical pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11 on the back of the moxibustion patch 6. Place the treated moxibustion patch 6 into the three moxibustion chamber slots 3 inside the ring body 1, ensuring that the medical pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11 faces the skin and that the moxibustion patch 6 is flatly adhered to the anti-slip textured surface of the inner wall 7 of the moxibustion chamber slot, avoiding wrinkles or displacement.

[0048] After loading the moxibustion consumables, activate and wear the device. Press the invisible touch button 2 located in the center of the outer side of the ring-shaped main body 1 and hold it for 3 seconds. When the control module 400 recognizes the trigger signal for this duration, it will activate the sleep mode and simultaneously drive the indicator light 4 to emit a blue light signal to confirm that the mode has been activated. Then open the ring-shaped main body 1 and put it on the waist and abdomen area. By adjusting the wearing position of the ring-shaped main body 1, the three moxibustion chamber slots 3 on the inner side are precisely aligned with the Zhongwan acupoint and the left and right Tianshu acupoints. Thanks to the elastic properties of the liquid silicone material, the ring-shaped main body 1 can accommodate waist sizes ranging from 65 to 110 cm, ensuring that the massage head 9 and the moxibustion patch 6 adhere tightly to the skin surface without excessive pressure.

[0049] Upon waking after the end of the usage cycle, the user must perform the disassembly and cleaning procedure for the device. First, remove the ring-shaped main body 1 from the waist. Then, manually peel off the used moxibustion patches 6 from the three moxibustion chamber slots 3 and dispose of them properly. The properties of the medical pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11 ensure that no adhesive residue remains in the slots during the removal process. Given the device's IPX5 waterproof rating, the ring-shaped main body 1 can be wiped clean with water or a damp cloth, paying particular attention to cleaning the inside of the moxibustion chamber slots 3 and the area around the vents 8 to maintain the device's hygiene. After cleaning and drying, the device can be stored away, ready to be reloaded with new moxibustion patches 6 for the next use.

[0050] See attached document Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 In this embodiment of the invention, the acupoint massage weight-loss and constipation-reducing ring achieves a synergistic physical intervention mechanism by superimposing the heat energy generated by the moxibustion module 100 and the mechanical kinetic energy generated by the massage module 200. When the device is worn on the user's waist and abdomen, the three moxibustion chamber slots 3 located on the inner side are respectively aligned with the Zhongwan acupoint and the left and right Tianshu acupoints. After the device is activated, the mugwort particles inside the moxibustion patch 6 undergo an exothermic oxidation reaction with the heating material layer 12, raising and stabilizing the temperature of the contact interface within 30 minutes in the range of 43 to 45 degrees Celsius. This continuous heat flux is directly conducted to the epidermis and dermis at the acupoint, causing local capillary dilation and skin pore opening, while simultaneously promoting the release of volatile components of mugwort and ginger extracts contained in the moxibustion patch 6 from the solid particles.

[0051] Meanwhile, the miniature silent motor 10 located below the moxibustion chamber slot 3 is in operation, driving the medical-grade soft silicone massage head 9, which is coaxially mounted with the moxibustion chamber slot 3, to generate adjustable-frequency axial mechanical vibration. This mechanical vibration does not act directly on the skin, but is transmitted to the acupoints through the moxibustion patch 6 as a medium layer. The mechanical vibration wave propagates in the already heated and expanded tissue, and the resulting physical kinetic energy accelerates the microcirculation rate of local blood and lymph fluid on the one hand, and provides downward penetration force for volatile drug molecules accumulated on the skin surface on the other hand, reducing the physical resistance of drug molecules to penetrate the stratum corneum, thereby increasing the rate and total amount of effective ingredients entering the deep meridian tissues.

[0052] Thermal energy reduces tissue viscosity and increases the sensitivity of nerve endings, allowing the physical stimulation of mechanical massage to be more effectively transmitted to deep smooth muscle. Conversely, the alternating compression and relaxation effects of mechanical vibration promote heat convection and diffusion within the tissue, preventing heat from remaining only in the epidermis and causing localized overheating, and ensuring that heat energy is conducted to deeper organs. At the Zhongwan and Tianshu acupoints, this dual physical stimulation of thermal and kinetic energy directly acts on the abdominal nerve plexus, inducing rhythmic contractions of intestinal smooth muscle, enhancing the amplitude and frequency of gastrointestinal peristalsis, and thus accelerating the transport of intestinal contents and the excretion of metabolic waste. This physically linked mechanism can achieve physical conditioning of constipation, abdominal edema, and fat accumulation without relying on oral medication, by improving the abdominal microenvironment and dynamic state.

[0053] Working Principle: Based on the coordinated operation of various functional modules under logical control, the system achieves precise regulation of acupoints through a combination of physical heat energy, mechanical vibration, and intelligent sensing technology. Firstly, the system's energy and control center consists of a power supply module 500 and a control module 400. The power supply module 500 obtains and stores electrical energy through a magnetic charging interface 5 embedded in the surface of the ring-shaped main body 1, providing a stable operating voltage for the entire system. The user sends power-on, intensity adjustment, or mode switching commands to the control module 400 via the invisible touch key 2 located on the outside of the ring-shaped main body 1. The control module 400 then drives the indicator light 4 to emit light signals of corresponding colors to reflect the current working status and simultaneously activates the moxibustion module 100, massage module 200, and motion detection module 300 to enter the preset working program.

[0054] In terms of moxibustion therapy, the moxibustion module 100 utilizes the moxibustion patch 6 to achieve constant-temperature heat application and drug penetration. During use, the moxibustion patch 6 is adhered and fixed to the moxibustion chamber slot 3 via the medical pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11 on its back. The anti-slip texture of the inner wall 7 of the moxibustion chamber slot ensures stable fixation. The mugwort particles and heating material layer 12 inside the moxibustion patch 6 generate heat energy upon activation. This reaction process is monitored by an embedded micro-temperature control chip 13 to ensure the temperature remains within a safe and effective range, preventing burns. Heat and volatile drug molecules penetrate the medical non-woven fabric outer layer 14 and act on the skin. Simultaneously, the vents 8 at the bottom of the moxibustion chamber slot 3 balance the air pressure and assist in heat circulation, promoting pore dilation and accelerating drug absorption.

[0055] At the physical massage level, the massage module 200 enhances the therapeutic effect through mechanical vibration. The control module 400 outputs pulse signals according to the set level to drive the micro silent motor 10 to run at high speed, and the generated power is transmitted to the massage head 9 connected to the end of the motor. Since the massage head 9 is coaxially set on the bottom back side of the moxibustion chamber slot 3, the mechanical vibration waves it generates can penetrate the bottom wall of the slot and the moxibustion patch 6, and directly act on the acupoints of the human body. This design makes the moxibustion patch 6 a dual medium for the transfer of heat and kinetic energy. The vibration not only simulates the force of manual massage, but also accelerates the penetration and diffusion of the mugwort particles and the effective ingredients in the heating material layer 12 into the subcutaneous tissue, promoting intestinal peristalsis and fat metabolism through heat-induced vibration.

[0056] At the intelligent interaction level, the motion detection module 300 endows the device with adaptive adjustment capabilities. Sensors integrated into the circuitry monitor the wearer's posture changes in real time and feed the data back to the control module 400. When the motion detection module 300 detects that the user is in a state of high-intensity movement, the control module 400 automatically instructs the massage module 200 to increase the vibration frequency to enhance stimulation; conversely, in sleep mode, the system will block motion signals and maintain low-frequency output. The entire working cycle is timed and managed by the control module 400 to ensure that the heating duration of the moxibustion module 100 and the working duration of the massage module 200 end synchronously, ultimately achieving integrated fat reduction and constipation relief.
