Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine auxiliary equipment technology, specifically a multifunctional Chinese medicine therapy instrument. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine fumigation therapy is a commonly used external treatment method in clinical and rehabilitation physiotherapy. Existing traditional Chinese medicine therapy instruments usually heat the Chinese medicine liquid through a heating module, causing the liquid to vaporize and form medicinal steam. The medicinal steam acts on the human body surface, promoting the dilation of local pores, and the medicinal components are absorbed through the skin, thereby achieving the physiotherapy and therapeutic effects of traditional Chinese medicine.

[0003] However, existing traditional Chinese medicine therapy devices have obvious technical defects in practical use: Inconvenient to use: The treatment output end is mostly handheld, requiring the operator or patient to hold the output end for a long time during the treatment process and keep it aligned with the treatment area. This not only results in high labor intensity and poor stability, but also easily leads to uneven steam application due to hand deviation, affecting the treatment effect.

[0004] Poor adaptability: The fumigation area and structure of the output end are fixed, and cannot be adaptively adjusted according to different parts of the human body and different sizes of treatment areas. It is difficult to adapt to diverse treatment scenarios such as joints, trunk, and local lesions, resulting in insufficient versatility and treatment targeting.

[0005] The aforementioned problems limit the ease of use, treatment stability, and adaptability of existing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy devices, making it difficult to meet the needs for efficient, comfortable, and precise TCM fumigation therapy. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional traditional Chinese medicine therapy device to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a multifunctional traditional Chinese medicine therapy device, comprising a liquid medicine storage and vaporization component, a replaceable fumigation component, a fixing component, a leak-proof component, and a temperature control component; The medicinal liquid storage and vaporization assembly includes a medicinal liquid box, which has a medicinal liquid cavity for storing traditional Chinese medicine liquid. A heating module for heating and vaporizing the medicinal liquid in the medicinal liquid cavity is provided on the outside of the medicinal liquid box. A heating ring for uniformly conducting heat and circumferentially heating the medicinal liquid cavity is fitted on the heating module. The medicine container has a gas outlet that communicates with the medicine cavity and is used to discharge medicine vapor. There are multiple gas outlets, and the multiple gas outlets are evenly distributed along the circumference of the medicine container. The medicine container is also connected to a dosing tube for adding medicine to the medicine cavity. The dosing tube is equipped with a sealing plug for sealing. The replaceable fumigation assembly includes a main cover connected to the medicine box. The bottom of the main cover is provided with a magnetic connector, which is a magnetic ring. The fumigation ring includes a straight cylinder fumigation ring, a small-mouth fumigation ring, and a flared-mouth fumigation ring. The straight cylinder fumigation ring, the small-mouth fumigation ring, and the flared-mouth fumigation ring are all magnetically attracted to the magnetic ring. The magnetic connector is detachably connected to at least two sizes of fumigation rings for guiding medicinal vapor to the treatment area of ​​the human body. The fumigation rings can be quickly attached and detached from the main cover through the magnetic connector to adapt to treatment areas of different sizes. The fixing component is installed at the bottom of the fumigation ring and is used to fix and adhere the fumigation ring to the human skin, so that the treatment device can be kept in close contact with the treatment site without being held by hand, thus ensuring the stability of the effect of the medicinal steam. The fixing component is a disposable ring-shaped double-sided adhesive tape, which is attached to the bottom end face of the fumigation ring; The anti-leakage component is located inside the liquid chamber and is used to prevent the liquid from flowing back into the gas outlet, thus avoiding leakage. The anti-leakage component is a conical baffle ring, which is fixed to the top of the inner side of the liquid chamber, with the tip of the conical baffle ring facing the inside of the liquid chamber. The temperature control component includes a connector electrically connected to the heating module. The connector is used to connect to an external control terminal to achieve precise control of the heating temperature and heating time of the heating module, ensuring effective vaporization of the liquid medicine. A handle for hand-carrying the treatment device is fixed to the outside of the main body cover.

[0008] In summary, the present invention has the following main beneficial effects: This invention achieves secure adhesion between the therapeutic device and the skin by setting a disposable annular double-sided adhesive patch at the bottom of the fumigation ring, eliminating the need for prolonged handheld use and improving the convenience of treatment and the stability of steam action. It features three sizes of fumigation rings—straight cylinder, small opening, and flared opening—with magnetic adsorption, allowing for flexible replacement to suit different treatment areas and sizes, significantly enhancing the device's versatility and targeted treatment. Simultaneously, the conical baffle ring inside the medicinal liquid chamber effectively prevents backflow and leakage. Combined with a heating module that allows for precise temperature and time control, it further enhances the safety and scientific nature of the device. The overall structure is rationally designed and easy to operate, meeting the needs for efficient, comfortable, and precise traditional Chinese medicine fumigation therapy, making it highly practical.

[0011] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0012] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described.

[0013] Example 1 This embodiment discloses a multifunctional traditional Chinese medicine therapy device, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the therapeutic device includes a main cover 1, a heating module 2, a heating ring 3, a medicine box 4, a conical baffle ring 7, a medicine adding tube 8, a sealing plug 9, a connector 10, a handle 11, a magnetic ring 12, and a straight cylinder fumigation ring 13. The medicine box 4 has a medicine chamber 5 inside, and multiple sets of gas outlets 6 connected to the medicine chamber 5 are opened on the side wall of the medicine box 4. The multiple sets of gas outlets 6 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the medicine box 4.

[0014] The heating module 2 is sleeved on the outside of the medicine box 4, and the heating ring 3 is sleeved on the outside of the heating module 2, with the inner side of the heating ring 3 in contact with the outer side of the medicine box 4. The heat generated by the heating module 2 can be evenly conducted to the medicine box 4 through the heating ring 3, so as to achieve uniform circumferential heating of the Chinese medicine liquid in the medicine cavity 5 and ensure the full vaporization of the medicine liquid.

[0015] The conical baffle 7 is fixedly installed on the top inner side of the liquid chamber 5, with the tip of the conical baffle 7 facing the inside of the liquid chamber 5. The conical baffle 7 can block the liquid in the liquid chamber 5, preventing the liquid from flowing back into the gas outlet 6 when the treatment device is tilted, thus preventing liquid leakage.

[0016] One end of the dosing tube 8 is connected to the medicine box 4, and the connecting end of the dosing tube 8 is connected to the medicine chamber 5. The sealing plug 9 is detachably installed at the other end of the dosing tube 8. The sealing plug 9 can be opened to add Chinese medicine liquid into the medicine chamber 5 through the dosing tube 8. After the filling is completed, the sealing plug 9 can be put back into the dosing tube 8 to ensure the sealing of the medicine chamber 5 and prevent the medicine vapor from leaking from the dosing tube 8.

[0017] The main cover 1 is fitted onto the top of the medicine box 4. The handle 11 is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the main cover 1, making it easy for the operator to hold and move the treatment device. The magnetic ring 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the main cover 1. The top of the straight cylinder fumigation ring 13 is magnetically attracted to the magnetic ring 12, realizing the detachable fixation of the straight cylinder fumigation ring 13 and the main cover 1. The straight cylinder fumigation ring 13 can guide the medicinal vapor discharged from the gas outlet 6 to the human treatment area. The bottom of the straight cylinder fumigation ring 13 is attached with a disposable ring double-sided adhesive tape, which can fix the straight cylinder fumigation ring 13 to the human skin, so that the treatment device can maintain a close fit to the treatment area without being held by hand.

[0018] The connector 10 is electrically connected to the heating module 2. The connector 10 can be connected to the external assembly control terminal via a power cord. The external assembly control terminal can precisely control the heating temperature and heating time of the heating module 2 through the connector 10 to adapt to the vaporization requirements of different Chinese medicine liquids and the tolerance of different treatment sites.

[0019] Example 2 This embodiment is basically the same in structure as Embodiment 1, the difference being that, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the straight fumigation ring 13 is replaced with a small-mouth fumigation ring 14. The top of the small-mouth fumigation ring 14 is magnetically attached to the magnetic ring 12, and the bottom of the small-mouth fumigation ring 14 is also covered with a disposable ring-shaped double-sided adhesive tape.

[0020] The treatment device in this embodiment is suitable for small local treatment areas on the human body, such as local lesions on the face. The small-mouth fumigation ring 14 can concentrate the medicinal steam and guide it to the small treatment area, improve the penetration effect of the drug components, and ensure the targeted treatment of small areas. Its working principle is the same as that in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0021] Example 3 This embodiment is basically the same in structure as Embodiment 1, the difference being that, as follows: Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the straight cylinder fumigation ring 13 is replaced with a flared fumigation ring 15. The top of the flared fumigation ring 15 is magnetically connected to the magnetic ring 12. The bottom of the flared fumigation ring 15 is also covered with a disposable ring-shaped double-sided adhesive tape, and the bottom opening of the flared fumigation ring 15 expands outward in a flared shape.

[0022] The treatment device in this embodiment is suitable for large treatment areas of the human body, such as the back, abdomen, and thighs. The trumpet-shaped structure of the fumigation ring 15 can increase the contact area between the medicinal vapor and the human skin, realize uniform fumigation of large areas, and improve the treatment efficiency of large areas. Its working principle is the same as that in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0023] In the above embodiments, the straight-cylinder fumigation ring 13, the small-mouth fumigation ring 14, and the trumpet-mouth fumigation ring 15 can all be quickly disassembled and replaced via the magnetic ring 12 and the main body cover 1. Operators can flexibly select the appropriate fumigation ring according to different treatment parts and treatment areas of different sizes, so that the treatment device can meet the diverse needs of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation treatment scenarios.

[0024] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When in use, one end of the power cord is electrically connected to the connector 10, and the other end is connected to the external assembly control terminal. The assembly control terminal is an integrated unit that can control and adjust parameters such as the heating temperature and heating time of the heating module 2 through wires. Depending on the required size of the fumigation area, select a suitable size from the straight fumigation ring 13, the small-mouth fumigation ring 14, and the flared-mouth fumigation ring 15, and fix them by magnetic adsorption with the magnetic ring 12 at the bottom of the main body cover 1 to facilitate replacement. In this process, by opening the sealing plug 9, the medicine is added to the medicine chamber 5 inside the medicine box 4 through the medicine adding tube 8. After the addition is completed, the heating module 2 is activated, which generates heat in the heating ring 3, thereby heating the medicine and causing it to vaporize. The vaporized medicine forms medicinal steam, which is discharged through multiple gas outlets 6 to the inner area between the main cover 1 and the straight cylinder fumigation ring 13. Since the bottom of the straight cylinder fumigation ring 13 is in close contact with the skin, the medicinal steam will directly act on the body surface, causing the local pores to expand and the medicinal components to be absorbed through the skin, thereby achieving the effects of traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy and treatment. Meanwhile, a conical baffle ring 7 is fixed on the top of the inner side of the liquid medicine chamber 5. The conical baffle ring 7 can prevent the liquid medicine from flowing back. That is to say, when the main body cover 1 tilts with the human body, the liquid medicine in the liquid medicine chamber 5 will be blocked by the conical baffle ring 7, thereby preventing the liquid medicine from entering the gas outlet 6 and thus preventing the problem of liquid medicine leakage. Furthermore, the bottom of the straight-cylinder fumigation ring 13, the small-mouth fumigation ring 14, and the flared-mouth fumigation ring 15 is equipped with disposable ring-shaped double-sided adhesive tape, which can then adhere to human skin to maintain overall stability. In summary, addressing the issues of existing equipment requiring prolonged hand-holding of the output end, being prone to misalignment, and incurring high labor intensity, this invention incorporates disposable annular double-sided adhesive tape at the bottom of the straight-cylinder fumigation ring 13, the small-mouth fumigation ring 14, and the trumpet-mouth fumigation ring 15. This allows for direct adhesion and fixation of the fumigation end to the treatment area, eliminating the need for continuous manual alignment. This design not only reduces the operational burden on both operators and patients but also avoids uneven application of medicinal steam due to hand-holding misalignment. This ensures that the medicinal steam acts continuously and evenly on the treatment area, effectively guaranteeing and enhancing the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation while significantly improving patient comfort during treatment. To address the problem that existing equipment has a fixed fumigation area and structure, making it unsuitable for different parts and areas, this invention designs three different specifications of fumigation ends: a straight-cylinder fumigation ring 13, a small-mouth fumigation ring 14, and a trumpet-mouth fumigation ring 15. These are magnetically attached to each fumigation ring via a magnetic ring 12 at the bottom of the main body cover 1, making disassembly and replacement convenient and efficient. During use, the matching fumigation ring can be flexibly selected according to different treatment sites such as joints, torso, and local lesions, as well as treatment areas of different sizes, achieving adaptive adjustment of the fumigation area and structure. This allows a single device to meet diverse fumigation treatment needs, significantly improving the device's versatility and treatment targeting, and broadening its application scope. The present invention features a conical baffle 7 fixedly installed on the top inner side of the liquid medicine chamber 5. This structure can prevent backflow of the liquid medicine. Even if the main cover 1 tilts with the posture of the human body, the traditional Chinese medicine liquid inside the liquid medicine chamber 5 will be effectively blocked by the conical baffle 7, preventing the liquid medicine from entering the gas outlet 6 and causing leakage. This design structurally avoids problems such as skin irritation and equipment damage caused by liquid medicine leakage, further improving the safety and reliability of the equipment and ensuring the smooth progress of the treatment process.

[0025] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the invention and are not intended to limit it. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, but such modifications, substitutions, and variations are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
