Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine nursing technology, specifically to a traditional Chinese medicine nursing device for calming the mind and aiding sleep. Background Technology
[0002] Sleep is closely related to the body's yin-yang balance, qi and blood circulation, and organ function. Imbalances in yin and yang, insufficient qi and blood, or organ dysfunction can lead to sleep problems such as insomnia. Traditional Chinese medicine methods for promoting sleep include aromatherapy, which utilizes the volatile components of plant essential oils to act on the body through the olfactory system. When these aromatic molecules enter the nasal cavity, they stimulate the olfactory nerves, transmitting signals to the limbic system of the brain. This system is closely connected to the emotional, memory, and autonomic nervous systems, and can regulate emotions, relieve stress, and thus promote sleep.
[0003] Currently, most existing TCM sleep aid devices utilize herbal packets to release medicinal effects. However, these devices have several shortcomings in practical use, failing to meet users' needs for efficient, convenient, and precise care. Firstly, the process of replacing the herbal packets in traditional devices is cumbersome, often requiring complete disassembly of the casing or opening the lid. This complex operation easily leads to internal heat loss and herbal leakage. Furthermore, there is a lack of means to observe the condition of the herbal packets inside the casing, making it impossible for users to promptly monitor their wear and tear, thus affecting the user experience. Secondly, the ability to regulate the release of medicinal vapor is insufficient. Most devices only release the herbal vapor through fixed vents, unable to switch the path of action according to user needs, such as direct facial dissemination or precise eye application. It is also difficult to control the amount of herbal vapor released, easily resulting in either excessively strong effects that irritate the skin or insufficient effects that fail to achieve the desired sleep-aiding effect. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine nursing device for calming the mind and aiding sleep, so as to achieve the above-mentioned objectives.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a traditional Chinese medicine nursing device for calming the mind and aiding sleep, comprising: a shell, an inner shell fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell, a placement rack fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner shell, and the upper end of the placement rack being used to place a medicine pack, a replacement component for replacing the medicine pack being provided at the upper end of the shell, and an eye mask component being provided on one side of the shell.
[0006] The replacement component includes a cover with an observation window at its upper end and multiple vent holes at equal intervals. A turntable is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cover, and six connecting rods are fixedly connected to the lower end of the turntable in a circular array. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod, and a hinge seat is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the connecting rod via a pivot. Slide rails are fixedly connected to the lower end of the cover on both sides of the vent holes, and a sliding plate is slidably connected between the two slide rails, with one side of the sliding plate fixedly connected to the hinge seat.
[0007] Preferably, a protective shell is fixedly connected to the upper end of the shell cover, and a rotating rod one and a rotating rod two are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the protective shell. A driven gear and a half-tooth gear are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the rotating rod one and the rotating rod two, respectively. A handle is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod two that passes through the protective shell, and the end of the rotating rod one that passes through the shell cover is fixedly connected to the central axis of the turntable.
[0008] Preferably, the replacement assembly further includes two sliding grooves formed on the outer wall of the shell cover, and the inner walls of the two sliding grooves are slidably connected to limit rods. A return spring is fixedly connected to one side of the limit rod, and the end of the return spring away from the limit rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. Two moving grooves are formed at the upper end of the shell cover, and push rods are slidably connected to the inner walls of the moving grooves.
[0009] Preferably, the two movable grooves are respectively connected to the two sliding grooves, and the lower end of the push rod is fixedly connected to the limiting rod.
[0010] Preferably, the goggles assembly includes a goggles body, an airbag is installed on the inner wall of the goggles body, a plurality of air vents are provided on one side of the airbag, a hose is fixedly connected to one side of the airbag, and a connector is fixedly connected to the end of the hose away from the airbag.
[0011] Preferably, the connector is threaded to the upper end of the cover, and the upper end of the cover is provided with a threaded head adapted to the connector.
[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the housing has two limiting grooves, and the limiting rod is adapted to the inner wall of the limiting groove and slidably connected thereto.
[0013] Preferably, the outer wall of the inner shell has multiple through holes arranged in a circumferential array. A thermostat is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shell. A heating tube is installed on the outer wall of the inner shell. The heating tube is spiral-shaped. The output end of the thermostat is connected to the heating tube.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine nursing device for calming the mind and aiding sleep, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] By pushing the push rod at the top of the cover, the limiting rod can be moved along the slide groove to retract and compress the return spring, quickly releasing the cover from the housing. There is no need to disassemble the entire housing, making the operation simple and labor-saving. After releasing the push rod, the return spring automatically returns to its original position and pushes the limiting rod into the limiting groove of the housing, achieving a firm lock between the cover and the housing, which facilitates timely replacement of the medicine pack.
[0016] Turning the handle drives the second and half-tooth gears of the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the turntable to rotate via the meshing of the driven gear. This, in turn, pulls the slide plate along the rail through the connecting rod and the arc-shaped connecting rod, achieving the simultaneous opening of the six ventilation holes. In addition, the size of the ventilation holes can be controlled by turning the handle. When the ventilation holes are closed, the direct emission of the medicinal gas is blocked, allowing all the medicinal gas to be delivered to the eye mask assembly through the threaded hose. The medicinal gas then acts on the skin and acupoints around the eyes through the ventilation holes on the airbag. The warm medicinal gas can soothe eye muscle tension, improve blood circulation in the eyes, and further enhance the sleep-aiding effect.
[0017] The spiral heating tubes on the outer wall of the inner shell can release heat evenly. Combined with the through holes distributed in a circular array on the inner shell, the heat can be evenly transferred to the inside of the inner shell, so as to achieve a stable increase in the temperature inside the shell and avoid the risk of medicine pack failure or burns caused by local heating.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides a technical solution for a traditional Chinese medicine nursing device for calming the mind and aiding sleep: including: a shell 1, an inner shell 2 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 1, and a temperature detector can be installed on the inner wall of the inner shell 2 for monitoring the internal temperature of the shell 1. The temperature detector is existing technology and will not be described further. A placement rack 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner shell 2, and the upper end of the placement rack 3 is used to place a medicine pack. A replacement component 4 for replacing the medicine pack is provided at the upper end of the shell 1. An eye mask component 5 is provided on one side of the shell 1.
[0027] Replacement component 4 includes a cover 401. An observation window 402, made of high-temperature resistant transparent glass, is installed on the upper end of the cover 401. Multiple vent holes 403 are evenly spaced on the upper end of the cover 401. A turntable 404 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cover 401. Six connecting rods 405 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the turntable 404 in a circular array. The outer side wall of the connecting rods 405 is rotated... A connecting rod 406, which is arc-shaped, is connected to a hinge seat 407 via a pivot at the end of the connecting rod 406 away from the connecting shaft 405. Slide rails 408 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the cover 401 on both sides of the vent 403.

A sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding plate 409, and one side of the sliding plate 409 is fixedly connected to the hinge seat 407. Rotation of the turntable 404 drives the connecting shaft 405 to rotate, which in turn pulls the sliding plate 409 along the slide rails 408 via the hinge seat 407. This allows the six vents 403 to open or close synchronously, ensuring even distribution of the medicinal vapor and allowing it to act stably on the body, enhancing the calming and sleep-inducing effects.
[0028] A protective shell 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the cover 401. A rotating rod 7 and a rotating rod 8 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 6. A driven gear 9 and a half-tooth gear 10 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the rotating rod 7 and the second rotating rod 8, respectively, and the driven gear 9 and the half-tooth gear 10 are meshed together. A handle 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 8 that passes through the protective shell 6. The rotating rod 7 is fixedly connected to the central shaft of the turntable 404 at one end that passes through the cover 401. By rotating the handle 11, the rotating rod 8 and the half-tooth gear 10 are driven to rotate. The half-tooth gear 10 meshes with the driven gear 9, thereby driving the rotating rod 7 and the turntable 404 to rotate.
[0029] Replacement component 4 also includes two sliding grooves 41 formed on the outer wall of the cover 401. Limiting rods 42 are slidably connected to the inner walls of both sliding grooves 41. A return spring 43 is fixedly connected to one side of each limiting rod 42. The end of the return spring 43 away from the limiting rod 42 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 41. Two moving grooves 44 are formed at the upper end of the cover 401. Push rods 45 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the moving grooves 44. By pushing the push rods 45, the limiting rods 42 extend or retract to the inner walls of the sliding grooves 41, facilitating the installation and removal of the cover 401.
[0030] Two movable grooves 44 are respectively connected to two sliding grooves 41, and the lower end of the push rod 45 is fixedly connected to the limiting rod 42. By pushing the push rod 45, the limiting rod 42 can slide on the inner wall of the sliding groove 41.
[0031] The eye mask assembly 5 includes an eye mask body 501, which is made of breathable and skin-friendly fabric that is soft, comfortable, and absorbent, preventing irritation to the eye area. An airbag 502 is installed on the inner wall of the eye mask body 501. Multiple air vents 503 are located on one side of the airbag 502. A flexible tube 504 is fixedly connected to one side of the airbag 502, and a connector 505 is fixedly connected to the end of the flexible tube 504 away from the airbag 502. The eye mask body 501 is threadedly connected to the shell cover 501 via the connector 504, facilitating quick disassembly, cleaning, storage, or individual replacement. The medicinal gas inside the shell 1 can be delivered to the airbag 502 through the flexible tube 504, and the smoke is dispersed through the multiple air vents 503. The warm smoke can soothe eye muscle tension, improve blood circulation in the eyes, and promote sleep.
[0032] The connector 505 is threaded to the upper end of the cover 401, and the upper end of the cover 401 is provided with a threaded head adapted to the connector 505. The threaded head passes through the cover 401 and communicates with the inside of the housing 1. The connector 505 enables the goggle body 501 to be connected to the housing 1.
[0033] Two limiting grooves 101 are formed on the inner wall of the housing 1. The limiting rod 42 is adapted to the inner wall of the limiting groove 101 and is slidably connected thereto. The housing cover 401 can be fixed on the upper part of the housing 1 through the limiting groove 101.
[0034] Multiple through holes 201 are provided on the outer wall of the inner shell 2, and these through holes 201 are arranged in a circumferential array. A thermostat 202 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer shell 1, and a heating tube 203 is installed on the outer wall of the inner shell 2. The heating tube 203 is spiral in shape, and the output end of the thermostat 202 is connected to the heating tube 203. The spiral heating tube 203 can evenly release heat, causing the internal temperature of the shell 1 to rise steadily. The heating effect promotes the volatilization of the medicinal components in the medicine pack and accelerates the dispersion of medicinal vapors.
[0035] In practical use, this invention serves as a TCM nursing device for calming the mind and aiding sleep. Before use, push the two push rods 45 to cause the limiting rod 42 to retract along the slide groove 41 and compress the return spring 43. At this time, the cover 401 can be disassembled. Then, place the medicine pack on the upper end of the placement rack 3, align the cover 401 with the upper end of the housing 1, and release the push rods 45. The return spring 43 will then reset and push the limiting rod 42 to slide into the limiting groove 101, thus fixing the cover 401 to the housing 1. Subsequently, turn on the thermostat 202 to power the heating tube 203 and raise the internal temperature of the housing 1, promoting the rapid volatilization of the medicinal components of the medicine pack on the placement rack 3, forming a medicinal gas with calming effects. The medicinal gas is released through the vent 403.
[0036] During the release of the medicinal gas, the handle 11 can be rotated to drive the rotating rod 8 and the half-tooth gear 10 to rotate. The half-tooth gear 10 meshes with the driven gear 9, thereby driving the rotating rod 7 and the turntable 404 to rotate synchronously. When the turntable 404 rotates, the hinge seat 407 is pulled by the six connecting rods 405, which drives the slide plate 409 to slide along the slide rail 408. This allows the six vents 403 to open or close synchronously. When closed, the medicinal gas can be blocked from escaping. At this time, the connector 505 can be threaded to the threaded head at the upper end of the cover 401. The unreleased medicinal gas is delivered to the airbag 502 through the hose 504 and slowly released through multiple vents 503, directly acting on the skin around the eyes and acupoints, thereby achieving the dual effects of calming the mind and promoting sleep, as well as soothing the eyes.
