Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention aims to provide a filtration device and method for smoke from moxibustion instruments. To solve these problems, this invention employs the following technical solution: A filtration device for smoke from a moxibustion instrument includes a filter. The filter has a filter chamber, a component chamber, a sheet chamber, and a feeding channel. The filter chamber, component chamber, and sheet chamber are all connected to the feeding channel. The feeding channel is connected to the outer wall of the filter. A transfer plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feeding channel. A T-shaped transfer groove is formed on the transfer plate. One filter sheet is placed in the T-shaped transfer groove. Two or more filter sheets are placed in the component chamber.

The stabilizing component is slidably connected to the filter. A driven gear is fixedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod.

[0006] Preferably, the control mechanism includes a linkage rod, which is rotatably connected to the filter. A linkage channel is provided on the linkage rod, and a rotating rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the linkage channel.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0021] The device of the present invention is a dedicated air purification and filtration device for indoor and outdoor air pollution. In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the device is configured and operates as follows.

[0022] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a filtration device for smoke from an moxibustion instrument includes a filter 1. The filter 1 has a filter chamber 2, a component chamber 3, a sheet chamber 4, and a feeding channel 21. The filter chamber 2, component chamber 3, and sheet chamber 4 are all connected to the feeding channel 21, which is also connected to the outer wall of the filter 1. A transfer plate 18 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feeding channel 21. A T-shaped transfer groove 19 is formed on the transfer plate 18, and one filter sheet 20 is placed in the T-shaped transfer groove 19. Two or more filter sheets 20 are placed in the component chamber 3. The filter 1 is connected to a clamping mechanism, a sealing mechanism, and a control mechanism. The filter sheet 20 may be made of high-efficiency activated carbon. The filter 1 can be manufactured using existing technologies such as molds.

[0023] Based on the above scheme, in some embodiments, the sealing mechanism includes a passive airbag 9 and an annular airbag 10. The annular airbag 10 is fixed to the bottom wall of the filter 1, and the passive airbag 9 is fixed to the outer wall of the filter 1. The passive airbag 9 is connected to the annular airbag 10 through an air transmission tube. The clamping mechanism includes a bidirectional threaded rod 5 and two displacement plates 6. The displacement plates 6 have a threaded hole 1. The inner wall of the threaded hole 1 is threadedly engaged with the bidirectional threaded rod 5. The bidirectional threaded rod 5 is rotatably connected to the filter 1. The stabilizing member 7 is slidably connected to the filter 1. A driven gear 11 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 5.

[0024] By linking the clamping mechanism and the sealing mechanism, the annular airbag 10 is driven to expand and seal while being clamped and fixed, which helps to improve connection stability and sealing reliability.

[0025] The control mechanism includes a linkage rod 15, which is rotatably connected to the filter 1. A linkage channel 16 is provided on the linkage rod 15. A rotating rod 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the linkage channel 16. The rotating rod 13 passes through the linkage rod 15. A handle 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 13, and a drive gear 12 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating rod 13.

[0026] The structural cooperation between the rotating rod 13 and the linkage rod 15 enables the combined control of rotation and axial movement, which is beneficial for the synchronous drive of multiple mechanisms and the simplification of operation.

[0027] The transfer plate 18 has a threaded hole 2. The inner wall of the component cavity 3 is rotatably connected to a one-way threaded rod 8. The inner wall of the threaded hole 2 and the one-way threaded rod 8 are threadedly engaged. A passive gear 2 17 is fixedly connected to the one-way threaded rod 8.

[0028] The directional conveying and automatic replacement of the filter element 20 are achieved through the cooperation of the one-way threaded rod 8 and the transfer plate 18, which helps to improve replacement efficiency and reduce manual operation.

[0029] Regarding the preferred arrangement of the positions of some components, the passive gear 11, the driving gear 12, and the passive gear 2 17 are all located within the component cavity 3.

[0030] By centrally arranging the transmission components within component cavity 3, it is beneficial to improve structural compactness and reduce the impact of external contamination on the transmission system.

[0031] The passive airbag 9 is located between one of the displacement plates 6 and the outer wall of the filter 1. This arrangement allows the displacement plate 6 to directly compress the passive airbag 9 during movement, which facilitates gas transfer and sealing drive without the need for additional power.

[0032] The annular airbag 10 is arranged around the filter chamber 2. The annular covering structure allows the annular airbag 10 to fit evenly against the outer wall of the moxibustion instrument in the circumferential direction, which helps to improve the overall sealing uniformity and adaptability.

[0033] Regarding the preferred shape of some components, the stabilizer 7 is T-shaped; the horizontal section of the stabilizer 7 has two inclined surfaces. The two inclined surfaces can accommodate moxibustion jars of different sizes.

[0034] A method for filtering smoke from a moxibustion instrument involves connecting a smoke filtering device to the moxibustion instrument and filtering the smoke generated during the operation of the moxibustion instrument.

[0035] Implementation process:

[0036] The moxibustion device selected is a moxibustion jar.

[0037] In the initial state, the displacement plate 6 does not contact the passive airbag 9, the driving gear 12 and the passive gear 11 mesh, a filter 20 is placed in the T-shaped transfer groove 19, and two or more spare filter 20s are stacked in the filter cavity 4.

[0038] When the filter 1 and the moxibustion jar need to be connected, the top wall of the moxibustion jar and the bottom wall of the filter 1 abut against each other, and the upper opening of the moxibustion jar is connected to the filter chamber 2. Rotating the handle 14 drives the rotating rod 13 and the driving gear 12 to rotate. Since the rotating rod 13 is rectangular, the shape of the linkage channel 16 is adapted to the shape of the rotating rod 13. The rotating rod 13 also drives the linkage rod 15 to rotate. The driving gear 12 drives the passive gear 11 and the bidirectional threaded rod 5 to rotate, thereby bringing the two displacement plates 6 closer to each other and the two stabilizing components 7 closer to each other. The two stabilizing components 7 clamp and connect the moxibustion jar. When one of the displacement plates 6 moves, it will compress the passive airbag 9, so that the gas in the passive airbag 9 is connected to the annular airbag 10 through the air transmission tube. The annular airbag 10 expands and abuts against the outer wall of the moxibustion jar, thereby enhancing the sealing and preventing the smoke from escaping from between the moxibustion jar and the bottom wall of the filter 1 without effective filtration. It also increases the connection stability between the filter 1 and the moxibustion jar.

[0039] When the moxibustion jar is working, the smoke generated enters the filter chamber 2 from the top of the moxibustion jar. After entering the T-shaped transfer groove 19, the smoke is filtered by the filter plate 20 and then exits the filter 1 from the top of the filter chamber 2, thus completing the filtration and purification of the smoke.

[0040] After the moxibustion treatment is completed, the connection between filter 1 and moxibustion jar needs to be disconnected, and filter 20 needs to be replaced. Move the handle 14 to the right so that the rotating rod 13 slides in the linkage channel 16. The driving gear 12 moves to the right and simultaneously engages with the first driven gear 11 and the second driven gear 17. Reverse the handle 14, and the driving gear 12 drives the first driven gear 11, the second driven gear 17, and the one-way threaded rod 8 to rotate.

[0041] When the two stabilizing components 7 are moved away from each other, and the passive airbag 9 loses the compression of one of the displacement plates 6, some of the gas in the annular airbag 10 flows back into the passive airbag 9 through the air transmission tube. The annular airbag 10 and the passive airbag 9 then expand and return to their original volume, so that the annular airbag 10 releases its contact with the moxibustion jar, so that the moxibustion jar and the filter 1 can be disconnected.

[0042] The rotation of the one-way threaded rod 8 causes the transfer plate 18 to move to the right, thereby moving the filter element 20 in the T-shaped transfer groove 19 to the right side of the filter 1, so that the user can easily and quickly remove the filter element 20 in the T-shaped transfer groove 19.

[0043] When the filter 1 and the moxibustion jar are reconnected, using the above principle, after turning the handle 14, not only will the two stabilizers 7 clamp the outer wall of the moxibustion jar, and the annular airbag 10 expand and abut against the outer wall of the moxibustion jar, but the transfer plate 18 will also move to the left. When the T-shaped transfer groove 19 passes below the plate cavity 4, the filter 20 in the plate cavity 4 will fall down under the action of gravity. One of the filter 20 will enter the T-shaped transfer groove 19 and be replaced automatically and quickly. The transfer plate 18 continues to move to the left, and the top wall of the transfer plate 18 supports the other filter 20 in the plate cavity 4.

[0044] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By rotating the handle 14, the rotating rod 13 and the driving gear 12 are driven to rotate, causing the passive gear 11 and the bidirectional threaded rod 5 to rotate synchronously. This drives the two displacement plates 6 to move closer to each other and causes the stabilizing component 7 to clamp the outer wall of the moxibustion instrument. During this process, the filter 1 can quickly complete the installation and connection with the moxibustion instrument through mechanical clamping without the need for additional tools or complicated operations. This enables quick connection and disassembly between the filter 1 and the moxibustion instrument, significantly improving ease of use and work efficiency. During the movement of the displacement plate 6, the passive airbag 9 is compressed, allowing gas to enter the annular airbag 10 through the air transmission tube. This causes the annular airbag 10 to expand and fit against the outer wall of the moxibustion instrument. At the same time, the stabilizing component 7 forms an external clamp. Through the composite structure of mechanical clamping and airbag expansion sealing, the annular airbag 10 can automatically adjust its fitting state according to different sizes, thereby achieving adaptive sealing connection for moxibustion instruments of different specifications, effectively preventing smoke leakage and improving the filtration effect. By sliding the throttle 14, the drive gear 12 can simultaneously drive the driven gear 17 and the one-way threaded rod 8 to rotate, thereby moving the transfer plate 18 within the feeding channel 21. This causes the filter disc 20 in the T-shaped transfer groove 19 to be pushed out of the filter 1. At the same time, the spare filter disc 20 in the disc cavity 4 is automatically replenished under the action of gravity. In this process, the filter disc 20 can be pushed out and replenished without disassembling the filter 1, achieving continuous replacement. This enables rapid automatic replacement and continuous supply of the filter disc 20, significantly reducing the difficulty of component replacement and maintenance and improving the continuity of device use.

[0045] The components, modules, mechanisms, and devices in this invention that are not described in detail are all general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structures and principles can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
