Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fire dragon cupping, and more specifically, to an auxiliary device for fire dragon cupping therapy. Background Technology
[0002] Fire Dragon Cupping Therapy is a traditional Chinese medicine external treatment method that combines moxibustion, scraping (gua sha), and massage. In traditional practice, medical personnel hold a fire dragon cup containing burning moxa sticks and apply pressure and heat to the patient's skin. However, this traditional method has several prominent problems in practical application:
[0003] Hazards of smoke: The burning of moxa cakes produces a large amount of hot smoke. This smoke directly escapes into the treatment environment, causing continuous irritation to the eyes and respiratory tract of medical personnel. Long-term work in this environment may have adverse effects on the health of the operators.
[0004] Heat waste and limited therapeutic effect: A significant portion of the heat generated by burning moxa cakes is lost directly into the air with the smoke and cannot be effectively used for treatment. This limits the continuous burning time of the moxa cakes, and their heat therapy effects of warming the meridians and promoting blood circulation are not fully realized, thus affecting the maximization of therapeutic effects.
[0005] Operational burden and safety hazards: Traditional tanks lack effective thermal management and smoke extraction design. On the one hand, the temperature distribution of the tank itself may be uneven, and the hand-held parts are prone to overheating, increasing operator discomfort and the risk of burns; on the other hand, operators have to directly endure the fumes and high temperatures, resulting in a poor working environment and easy fatigue.
[0006] Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed a fire dragon cupping therapy auxiliary device. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an auxiliary device for moxibustion cupping therapy. By incorporating a heat exchange unit, it solves the problem of excessive heat and smoke generated during the burning of moxa sticks. This smoke directly escapes into the operating environment during treatment, causing continuous irritation to the eyes and respiratory tract of medical personnel. Prolonged work in this environment may adversely affect the health of the operator.
[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0009] A fire dragon cupping therapy auxiliary device includes a fire dragon cupping body, the interior of which has a receiving cavity, the receiving cavity being connected to the outside via a smoke-smoking end, a smoke-smoking unit being provided on the outer side of the fire dragon cupping body near the smoke-smoking end, and a smoke-exhausting unit being provided at the end of the fire dragon cupping body away from the smoke-smoking end.
[0010] The fire dragon can is provided with a heat exchange unit on its side wall, and the smoke extraction unit is connected to the smoke exhaust unit through the heat exchange unit.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the smoking unit includes a smoking trough formed on the surface of the fire dragon can and an annular adjustment frame movably connected inside the smoking trough, wherein a smoking fan is provided inside the annular adjustment frame.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the smoking unit is a plurality of units, and the plurality of smoking units are distributed at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the fire dragon can.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the heat exchange unit includes a heat exchange cavity formed on the side wall of the fire dragon tank, a smoke exhaust channel is fixed in the heat exchange cavity near the smoke exhaust unit, and a smoke exhaust channel is fixed in the heat exchange cavity near the smoke exhaust unit. The smoke exhaust channel, the heat exchange cavity and the smoke exhaust channel are connected end to end in sequence.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a heat exchange fin plate is fixed inside the heat exchange cavity, and the heat exchange fin plate is connected to the side wall of the fire dragon tank for heat storage.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a heat insulation cavity is provided inside the fire dragon tank near the heat exchange cavity, and there are multiple heat exchange fins, which are distributed at equal intervals along the path of the heat exchange cavity.
[0016] A heat insulation gap is provided between one side of the heat exchange fin plate and the heat exchange cavity.
[0017] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the smoke exhaust unit includes a smoke exhaust fan fixed inside the smoke exhaust channel, and a smoke exhaust part is formed on the surface of the fire dragon tank corresponding to the position of the smoke exhaust fan. The side wall of the smoke exhaust part is provided with an internal smoke exhaust hole.
[0018] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the smoke exhaust unit further includes an adjustable top cover. The bottom of the adjustable top cover is provided with an annular groove corresponding to the position of the smoke exhaust part. The adjustable top cover is movably connected to the smoke exhaust part through the annular groove. An external smoke exhaust hole corresponding to the internal smoke exhaust hole is provided on the side wall of the adjustable top cover.
[0019] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a sealing plastic cover is embedded inside the external exhaust port.
[0020] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a smoke exhaust pipe is embedded in the external smoke exhaust hole, and the smoke exhaust pipe is a universal corrugated gooseneck pipe.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0022] In the scheme of this application:
[0023] Effectively improves the treatment environment and protects the health of medical staff: By using a fumigation unit (such as multiple small exhaust fans) installed on the outside of the canister, smoke mist can be drawn out in a timely manner near the source of the smoke, and the treated gas is then directionally discharged through the exhaust unit. This greatly reduces the amount of smoke spreading in the operating area, effectively reducing irritation to the operator's eyes and respiratory tract, and creating a safer and cleaner working environment.
[0024] Improving heat energy utilization efficiency and enhancing therapeutic effects: The device's innovative heat exchange units (such as annular insulated pipes or heat exchange chambers with finned plates) constitute a heat energy recovery channel. As the inhaled moxa smoke flows through this channel, its heat is exchanged and stored in the canister wall. This recovered heat energy can be continuously used for treatment, not only extending the effective heat therapy time of a single moxa cake but also enhancing the penetration of heat into the patient's skin, thereby strengthening the therapeutic effects of warming the meridians and promoting blood circulation.
[0025] Optimizing the user experience and reducing occupational burden: The canister features an ergonomic grip design with an anti-slip structure, improving operational stability and comfort, and reducing fatigue during prolonged treatments. Simultaneously, the smoke extraction and ventilation functions reduce smoke inhalation, and the canister's heat insulation design (such as a heat-insulating cavity) prevents overheating of the handheld area, significantly reducing the overall operational burden and occupational injury risk for medical staff.
[0026] Enhanced safety and controllability: After cooling by the heat exchange unit, the temperature of the gas discharged from the exhaust unit is significantly reduced, avoiding accidental burns that could be caused by high-temperature gas being directly discharged to the operator or the environment. In addition, some designs (such as the adjustable exhaust cover and universal exhaust pipe) allow for adjustment of the exhaust direction and flow rate, increasing operational flexibility and environmental adaptability.
[0027] Energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and easy to promote: By recycling the waste heat from moxa smoke, the overall utilization rate of the heat energy from moxa cakes is improved. This means that, while achieving the same or better therapeutic effects, it is possible to reduce the consumption or replacement frequency of moxa cakes, which aligns with the concept of green medicine. The device is designed to be well-integrated with existing treatment procedures and is easy to promote and apply in clinical and home healthcare settings. Attached Figure Description

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0042] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0043] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0044] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this invention is in use, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly understood by those skilled in the art. These terms are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention. In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides a technical solution: a fire dragon cupping therapy auxiliary device, including a fire dragon cupping body 1, the fire dragon cupping body 1 having an internal receiving cavity 11, the receiving cavity 11 being connected to the outside through a smoke-smoking end 12, a smoke-smoking unit 2 being provided on the outer side of the fire dragon cupping body 1 near the smoke-smoking end 12, and a smoke-exhausting unit 3 being provided at the end of the fire dragon cupping body 1 away from the smoke-smoking end 12;
[0046] The fire dragon can 1 has a heat exchange unit 4 on its side wall, and the smoke extraction unit 2 is connected to the smoke exhaust unit 3 through the heat exchange unit 4.
[0047] Because the fire dragon cupping therapy auxiliary device of the present invention has the above structure, it realizes the source collection, heat recovery, and directional discharge of moxa smoke (or similar therapeutic hot smoke), forming a complete airflow circulation path. After activation, the smoke-drawing unit 2 operates near the smoke-drawing end 12, actively drawing away the smoke generated by the burning moxa cake and preventing it from spreading towards the operator. The drawn-in smoke passes through the heat exchange unit 4, during which the heat in the smoke is exchanged to the cupping wall, thereby raising and maintaining the therapeutic temperature of the cupping body. Finally, the cooled smoke is guided to the smoke exhaust unit 3, which is far away from the operator, and discharged, thus solving the problem of smoke diffusion at the source.
[0048] The smoking unit 2 includes a smoking trough 21 opened on the surface of the fire dragon can 1 and an annular adjustment frame 22 movably connected inside the smoking trough 21. The annular adjustment frame 22 is equipped with a smoking fan 23 inside.
[0049] The smoking unit 2 is a plurality of units, and the plurality of smoking units 2 are distributed at equal intervals along the circumference of the fire dragon can 1.
[0050] Because the fire dragon cupping therapy auxiliary device of the present invention has the above structure, the smoke extraction fan 23 is embedded in the annular adjusting frame 22 and installed in the smoke extraction groove 21 on the outer wall of the cupping body. By adjusting the angle of the annular adjusting frame 22 in the smoke extraction groove 21, the air intake direction of the smoke extraction fan can be flexibly changed, so that it is better aligned with the direction of smoke dispersion. Multiple smoke extraction units 2 are equidistantly distributed on the upper circumference of the cupping body, ensuring that no matter how the cupping body rotates or tilts, there are smoke extraction points that can effectively cover the smoke extraction end, enhancing the comprehensiveness and efficiency of smoke collection.
[0051] The heat exchange unit 4 includes a heat exchange chamber 41 opened on the side wall of the fire dragon tank 1. A smoke exhaust channel 42 is fixed in the heat exchange chamber 41 near the smoke exhaust unit 3. A smoke exhaust channel 43 is fixed in the heat exchange chamber 41 near the smoke exhaust unit 2. The smoke exhaust channel 43, the heat exchange chamber 41 and the smoke exhaust channel 43 are connected end to end.
[0052] A heat exchange fin plate 44 is fixed inside the heat exchange chamber 41, and the heat exchange fin plate 44 is connected to the side wall of the fire dragon tank 1 for heat storage.
[0053] Because the fire dragon cupping therapy auxiliary device of the present invention has the above structure, the smoke inhaled by the smoking unit 2 enters the heat exchange chamber 41 located inside the cupping wall through the smoking channel 43. The heat exchange fin plate 44 increases the effective contact area between the smoke and the cupping wall. When the smoke flows through, its heat is quickly conducted to the cupping wall material through the fin plate, heating the cupping body. This process not only recovers the heat energy that would otherwise be lost, enhancing the heat preservation performance and thermotherapy effect of the cupping body, but also significantly reduces the temperature of the subsequently discharged smoke.
[0054] A heat insulation cavity 45 is provided inside the fire dragon tank 1 near the heat exchange cavity 41. There are multiple heat exchange fins 44, and the multiple heat exchange fins 44 are distributed at equal intervals along the path of the heat exchange cavity 41.
[0055] A heat insulation gap is provided between one side of the heat exchange fin plate 44 and the heat exchange cavity 41.
[0056] Because the fire dragon cupping therapy auxiliary device of the present invention has the above structure, the heat insulation cavity 45 forms a hollow heat insulation barrier inside the cupping structure. This barrier, in conjunction with the heat exchange fin plate 44 and the heat exchange cavity 41, greatly hinders the conduction of heat stored in the cupping wall (heated by the fin plate) to the inside of the cupping body (especially the holding area). This ensures that while the outer wall of the cupping body obtains a sufficient therapeutic temperature, the temperature of its inner wall (the part held by the user or close to the patient's skin) does not become excessively high, improving operational safety and comfort.
[0057] The smoke exhaust unit 3 includes a smoke exhaust fan 31 fixed inside the smoke exhaust channel 42. The surface of the fire dragon tank 1 protrudes outward at the position corresponding to the smoke exhaust fan 31 to form a smoke exhaust part 32. The side wall of the smoke exhaust part 32 is provided with an inner smoke exhaust hole 33.
[0058] The smoke exhaust unit 3 also includes an adjustable top cover 34. The bottom of the adjustable top cover 34 is provided with an annular groove 35 at the position corresponding to the smoke exhaust part 32. The adjustable top cover 34 is movably connected to the smoke exhaust part 32 through the annular groove 35. An external smoke exhaust hole 36 corresponding to the inner smoke exhaust hole 33 is provided on the side wall of the adjustable top cover 34.
[0059] Because the invented fire cupping therapy auxiliary device has the above structure, the smoke, after heat exchange and cooling, is discharged through the inner smoke exhaust hole 33 driven by the smoke exhaust fan 31. By rotating and adjusting the top cover 34, the relative displacement between the outer smoke exhaust hole 36 and the inner smoke exhaust hole 33 can be achieved, thereby controlling the opening size of the outer smoke exhaust hole 36 or even closing it completely, thus adjusting the exhaust volume. More importantly, when the inner and outer smoke exhaust holes are partially aligned, the final exhaust angle of the smoke can be changed by changing the alignment direction, making it convenient to guide the smoke away from the operator to a specific location (such as outside a window or ventilation equipment), enhancing the flexibility of use and environmental adaptability.
[0060] A sealing plastic cover 37 is embedded inside the external smoke exhaust port 36.
[0061] The external smoke exhaust port 36 is embedded with a smoke exhaust pipe 38, which is a universal corrugated gooseneck pipe.
[0062] Because the invented fire dragon cupping therapy auxiliary device has the above structure, when the device is not in use, the sealing plastic cover 37 can be inserted into the external smoke exhaust hole 36 to seal and prevent dust. When in use, the universal corrugated gooseneck tube (smoke exhaust pipe 38) can be inserted into the external smoke exhaust hole 36. Utilizing the flexibility and plasticity of the gooseneck tube, its opening can be precisely guided to a more distant and ideal exhaust position (such as connecting a longer smoke exhaust hose or directly aligning it with the vent). This provides a more powerful and longer-distance smoke guiding capability than simply adjusting the direction of the top cover hole, further optimizing the operating environment.
[0063] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described herein. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Therefore, any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present invention, as well as all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention, are covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
