Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an abdominal targeted thermotherapy acupuncture device and its operation method. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of women's reproductive health, the maintenance and functional regulation of the uterus and ovaries have always been a key focus of clinical attention. Common problems include decreased uterine smooth muscle contraction, poor pelvic blood circulation, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, cold uterus, and decreased ovarian function. These conditions often lead to menstrual irregularities, dysmenorrhea, infertility, or menopausal syndrome. Currently, physical therapy methods for the uterus and ovaries mainly include abdominal massage, moxibustion, hot compresses, transdermal drug delivery, and acupuncture. However, existing treatment and maintenance devices generally suffer from limitations such as single function, shallow level of action, and poor synergy. For example, while traditional moxibustion provides heat stimulation, the heat is easily dissipated laterally, making it difficult to penetrate the uterus and pelvic tissues in a targeted and deep manner. Abdominal massage is mostly surface kneading, lacking vertical pressure on the fundus of the uterus and kneading movements that mimic knuckle movements, making it difficult to effectively promote rhythmic contractions of the uterine smooth muscle. Transdermal drug delivery, such as Leonurus japonicus gel, often uses a simple application method, lacking the effects of heating to promote penetration and mechanical drug delivery, resulting in low absorption rates. Although acupuncture can stimulate specific acupoints (such as Qihai, Guanyuan, and Zhongji), it cannot be performed simultaneously with continuous heat therapy and dynamic pressure, thus limiting the "warming and unblocking" effect. In addition, existing equipment often separates the functions of heat therapy, massage, acupuncture, and drug delivery, requiring patients to operate multiple times on multiple devices, which is not only inconvenient to use but also makes it difficult to form a synergistic treatment mode of physical-drug-thermal effects.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent CN 114917124 B, which discloses a uterine and abdominal acupoint therapy device and its control method. The device includes a main unit control unit, a cantilever drive unit, an integrated acupoint therapy component in the abdomen, and intracavitary electrodes. This invention uses intracavitary electrodes with thermo-vibration function to generate vibration and thermal stimulation to the uterus. The integrated acupoint therapy components in the abdomen and legs provide narrow-pulse electrical stimulation to the Tianshu, Guanyuan, Qihai, and bilateral uterine acupoints in the abdomen, and the bilateral Sanyinjiao acupoints in the legs, respectively. It also combines acupoint magnetotherapy and phototherapy. Compared to traditional acupuncture, physiotherapy, microwave, and drug therapy, this method promotes overall circulatory stimulation in the pelvic and abdominal region, expands the regional meridian blood and qi irrigation effect, comprehensively promotes blood supply to the ovaries and uterus, regulates the kidney-Tiankui-Chongren-uterus reproductive axis, significantly enhances overall pelvic physiological function, and improves endometrial receptivity.

[0004] The aforementioned existing therapeutic devices can only stimulate the abdomen through a single vibration, and cannot achieve the therapeutic goal of combining acupuncture, heat therapy, and massage. Their single structure and function result in a need to improve their treatment efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this application provides an abdominal targeted thermotherapy acupuncture device, which aims to promote the absorption of abdominal drugs and acupuncture treatment of acupoints such as Qihai, Guanyuan, and Zhongji in the abdomen through a combination of acupuncture, thermotherapy, and massage, thereby achieving targeted treatment of the abdominal uterus and ovaries and significantly improving the treatment effect.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: This application provides an abdominal targeted thermotherapy acupuncture device, including a main shell and a waist belt connected to the main shell. The main shell contains a moxibustion tube for moxibustion and acupuncture. An air supply mechanism is fixedly connected to the wall of the moxibustion tube, and the air supply mechanism is located in the upper part of the inner cavity of the moxibustion tube. A driving mechanism that cooperates with the air supply mechanism is also provided between the moxibustion tube and the main shell. Multiple massage mechanisms are evenly arranged circumferentially on the outer side of the wall of the moxibustion tube, and the massage mechanisms are in communication with the moxibustion tube.

[0007] In detail, the main shell has an arc-shaped structure that conforms to the curve of the human abdomen. The waist belt is an elastic waist belt, and the ends of the waist belt are provided with Velcro, which is used to connect the ends of the waist belt.

[0008] Furthermore, the moxibustion tube includes an outer tube and an inner tube. The bottom of the outer tube has multiple through holes, and a rubber seat is provided on the outer periphery of the bottom end of the outer tube.

[0009] Specifically, the outer cylinder has a cylindrical structure with an open top, the inner cylinder has an "I"-shaped structure with open top and bottom, and the rubber seat has a trumpet-shaped structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner cylinder is fixedly fitted inside the outer cylinder, and a chamber for placing motherwort gel is provided between the inner and outer cylinders. A dust baffle is provided at the bottom of the inner cylinder, and multiple acupuncture needles are provided at the bottom outer surface of the dust baffle. The acupuncture needles pass through corresponding through holes. The bottom inner surface of the dust baffle is connected to the driving mechanism. Multiple moxa sticks are provided inside the inner cylinder.

[0011] It should be noted that the dust baffle has a fine mesh structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a rack rod fixedly connected to the dust baffle plate and a fixed cover connected to the main housing, with an electric push rod provided between the fixed cover and the rack rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the technical solution includes an air supply mechanism that is slidably connected to an outer cylinder and a gear that engages with a rack and pinion. One end of the gear is rotatably connected to the mounting cylinder, and the other end is connected to a first bevel gear. An air supply blade is rotatably connected to the mounting cylinder, and the bottom end of the air supply blade is connected to a second bevel gear, which meshes with the first bevel gear.

[0014] In detail, the outer cylinder is provided with a sliding groove, and the mounting cylinder passes through the sliding groove and is fixedly connected to the main housing 1.

[0015] In a further embodiment of the technical solution, the massage mechanism includes a connecting rod rotatably connected to the outer cylinder and a piston cylinder fixedly connected to the outer cylinder. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod. A massage ball is connected to one end of the rotating rod, and a piston is rotatably connected to the other end. The piston and the piston cylinder are in sliding engagement.

[0016] Furthermore, the massage mechanism also includes a flexible tube connecting the massage ball and the piston cylinder, and a connecting pipe passing through the outer cylinder wall to connect the piston cylinder and the chamber. Both the connecting pipe and the flexible tube are equipped with a one-way valve at the end near the piston cylinder.

[0017] Specifically, the massage ball is provided with micropores, which are connected to a flexible tube.

[0018] Furthermore, the main housing has a through slot, and the moxibustion tube, massage mechanism, and drive mechanism are located at the slot.

[0019] Furthermore, this application provides a method for operating an abdominal targeted thermotherapy acupuncture device, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Secure the entire device to the user's abdomen using the waist belt; Step 2: The driving mechanism moves the moxibustion tube closer to the user's abdomen, so that it can perform acupuncture on the corresponding acupoints on the abdomen; Step 3: After acupuncture, the driving mechanism drives the outer tube to repeatedly press vertically on the abdomen, the air supply mechanism transmits hot air to the abdomen, and the massage mechanism performs rolling massage on the abdomen.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention uses an electric pusher to move a rack and pinion rod and an outer cylinder towards the abdomen, allowing acupuncture needles to extend from a through-hole at the bottom of the outer cylinder and precisely insert into acupoints such as Qihai, Guanyuan, and Zhongji, achieving acupuncture stimulation. Simultaneously, the burning moxa cone inside the inner cylinder provides a heat source. During the needle insertion, the rack and pinion rod moves, driving gears to rotate. Through the meshing of the first and second bevel gears, this drives the air-blowing blades to rotate, thus evenly distributing the heat generated by the burning moxa cone as hot air to the user's abdomen. This improves the uniformity and penetration of heat therapy during acupuncture and moxibustion, preventing excessively high local temperatures.

[0021] After acupuncture is completed, the electric push rod and rack drive the moxibustion cylinder to move back and forth within the main housing, causing the air supply blades to rotate continuously. These blades evenly transmit the heat from the burning moxa stick to the user's abdomen. Furthermore, the rubber seat at the bottom of the outer cylinder creates a sealed environment around the acupuncture point, effectively preventing heat loss and ensuring that the heat from the burning moxa stick penetrates vertically into the deep pelvic tissues containing the uterus and ovaries. This solves the problems of heat loss and shallow penetration associated with traditional moxibustion.

[0022] This invention utilizes a rack and pinion to drive the moxibustion cylinder in a reciprocating motion, thereby achieving intermittent vertical pressure on the abdomen through the bottom of the outer cylinder, simulating the action of palm pressure. Additionally, a piston cylinder drives a piston to move up and down within the cylinder, which in turn drives a massage ball to perform a rolling massage on the patient's abdomen, simulating the action of finger kneading. The combination of the massage ball and the bottom of the outer cylinder achieves a combined stimulation of pressure and kneading on the abdomen, thereby promoting rhythmic uterine contractions and improving the therapeutic effect.

[0023] This invention utilizes the heat generated by moxa sticks to melt motherwort gel placed in a chamber, thereby enhancing its flow. When the piston retracts, the motherwort gel in the chamber is drawn into the piston cylinder. As the piston advances, the motherwort gel is squeezed through a tube into a massage ball and seeps out from the micropores on the surface of the massage ball. The rolling massage ball expands the pores while precisely applying the motherwort gel to the massage area. The mechanical pressure of the massage promotes transdermal absorption of the drug, significantly improving its absorption rate. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "front end", "rear end", "inner side", "outer side", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They 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. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0028] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] During practical application, the inventors discovered that existing acupuncture devices have relatively limited functionality, making it difficult to organically combine multiple treatment methods such as moxibustion, acupuncture, heat therapy, and massage. Furthermore, the temperature of moxibustion is difficult to control precisely during treatment, easily causing burns, and there is a lack of effective means to deliver medication into the skin, resulting in lower treatment efficiency and patient comfort.

[0030] Based on the above findings, this application provides an abdominal targeted thermotherapy acupuncture device, including a main housing 1 and a waist belt 2 connected to the main housing 1. The main housing 1 is provided with a moxibustion tube 3 for moxibustion and acupuncture. An air supply mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the wall of the moxibustion tube 3. The air supply mechanism 4 is located in the upper part of the inner cavity of the moxibustion tube 3. A drive mechanism 5 that cooperates with the air supply mechanism 4 is also provided between the moxibustion tube 3 and the main housing 1. A plurality of massage mechanisms 6 are evenly arranged circumferentially on the outer side of the wall of the moxibustion tube 3, and the massage mechanisms 6 are connected to the moxibustion tube 3.

[0031] Example 1 Reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 11 As shown, this embodiment provides an abdominal targeted thermotherapy acupuncture device, including a main shell 1 that fits against the abdomen, and waist belts 2 connected to the left and right sides of the main shell 1. The waist belts 2 can be fixed by Velcro or buckles to bind the device to the patient's abdomen.

[0032] Furthermore, a cross-shaped slot 11 is formed through the center of the main casing 1. A moxibustion tube 3 is disposed within the slot 11, with a gap between the outer wall of the moxibustion tube 3 and the inner wall of the slot 11 to allow the moxibustion tube 3 to move up and down. (See reference...) Figure 2-3 As shown, the moxibustion tube 3 includes an outer tube 31 and an inner tube 32 arranged coaxially. The outer tube 31 is a cylindrical shape with an open top, and a rubber seat 312 is bonded to its bottom edge for flexible contact with the skin to improve comfort. The bottom of the outer tube 31 also has multiple circular through holes 311.

[0033] Furthermore, referring to Figure 4-5As shown, the inner cylinder 32 is fixedly fitted inside the outer cylinder 31. An annular cavity 321 is formed between the outer wall of the inner cylinder 32 and the inner wall of the outer cylinder 31. This cavity 321 is used to pre-fill with motherwort gel. A baffle plate 322 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cylinder 32. The baffle plate 322 has a fine mesh pattern to allow heat from the moxa to pass through while preventing moxa ash from falling and burning the skin. Multiple acupuncture needles 323 are detachably connected to the outer bottom of the baffle plate 322. These needles 323 pass through corresponding through holes 311 and are aligned with acupoints on the abdomen such as Qihai, Guanyuan, and Zhongji. Multiple moxa cones 324 are arranged inside the internal cavity of the inner cylinder 32. As an example, the baffle plate 322 is provided with a pin or sleeve for fixing the moxa cones 324.

[0034] As an example, the acupuncture needle 323 is connected to the bottom of the dust baffle 322 by means of a snap or thread.

[0035] In detail, the top of the inner cylinder 32 is provided with a feeding port, which communicates with the chamber 321, thereby facilitating the addition of motherwort gel into the chamber 321.

[0036] Furthermore, a drive mechanism 5 is also provided between the moxibustion tube 3 and the main housing 1. The drive mechanism 5 includes a rack 51 vertically fixedly connected to the center of the dust baffle 322, and a fixed cover 52 slidably mounted on the upper surface of the main housing 1. An electric push rod 53 is installed between the fixed cover 52 and the rack 51. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 53 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rack 51.

[0037] As an example, the fixed cover 52 is detachably connected to the electric push rod 53, for example, the fixed cover 52 and the electric push rod 53 are connected by threads.

[0038] Example 2 Based on Embodiment 1, in order to evenly transfer the heat from the burning moxa stick 324 to the user's abdominal area, an air supply mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the wall of the outer cylinder 31, and the air supply mechanism 4 is located in the upper part of the inner cavity of the outer cylinder 31.

[0039] Furthermore, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 7-8 As shown, the air supply mechanism 4 includes a mounting cylinder 41 slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 31 via a bracket. The mounting cylinder 41 is a cylindrical structure with a notch on one side near the rack rod 51. A horizontal gear shaft is rotatably connected inside the mounting cylinder 41 via a bearing. One end of the gear shaft is fixedly connected to a gear 42, which meshes with the rack portion on the rack rod 51. The other end of the gear shaft is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear 43.

[0040] As an example, the outer cylinder 41 is provided with a sliding groove, and the bracket on the mounting cylinder 41 passes through the sliding groove and is fixedly connected to the main housing 1.

[0041] A vertical shaft is rotatably connected to the wall of the mounting cylinder 41 via a bearing. An air supply blade 44 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the shaft, and a second bevel gear 45 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the shaft. The second bevel gear 45 meshes perpendicularly with the first bevel gear 43.

[0042] During use, when the electric push rod 53 drives the rack rod 51 to move up and down, the rack rod 51 drives the gear 42 to rotate. The gear 42 drives the first bevel gear 43 to rotate via the gear shaft. The first bevel gear 43 drives the second bevel gear 45 and the air supply blade 44 to rotate at high speed. The airflow generated by the rotation of the air supply blade 44 blows downward, evenly blowing the heat generated by the burning moxa stick 324 onto the user's abdomen in the form of hot air, achieving targeted heat therapy.

[0043] Example 3 Based on Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, in order to promote the transmission and absorption of motherwort gel in chamber 321, a plurality of massage mechanisms 6 are uniformly arranged circumferentially on the outer side of the outer cylinder 31.

[0044] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2-5 , Figure 9-10 As shown, each massage mechanism 6 includes a connecting rod 61, a piston cylinder 62, a rotating rod 63, a massage ball 64, and a piston 65. The piston cylinder 62 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer cylinder 31 via a bracket. One end of the connecting rod 61 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the outer cylinder 31 via a pin, and the other end of the connecting rod 61 is rotatably connected to the middle of the rotating rod 63 via a pin. A massage ball 64 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 63; specifically, the surface of the massage ball 64 is provided with micropores. The other end of the rotating rod 63 is rotatably connected to a piston 65 via a pin, and the piston 65 is slidably and sealingly fitted inside the piston cylinder 62.

[0045] Furthermore, the bottom of the piston cylinder 62 is connected to the chamber 321 between the inner cylinder 32 and the outer cylinder 31 via a connecting pipe 67 passing through the wall of the outer cylinder 31. Simultaneously, a flexible tube 66 is connected to the side wall of the piston cylinder 62 near the bottom, with the other end of the tube 66 connected to micropores on the massage ball 64. A one-way valve is installed on the connecting pipe 67 near the piston cylinder 62, allowing the motherwort gel to flow from the chamber 321 into the piston cylinder 62. Similarly, a one-way valve is installed on the flexible tube 66 near the piston cylinder 62, allowing the motherwort gel to flow from the piston cylinder 62 into the massage ball 64.

[0046] During use, when the electric push rod 53 drives the entire moxibustion cylinder 3 to move up and down for pressing, the moxibustion cylinder 3 drives the piston cylinder 62 to move up and down, which in turn causes the piston 65 to reciprocate up and down inside the piston cylinder 62. The piston 65 drives the rotating rod 63 to swing up and down, which in turn causes the massage ball 64 to roll back and forth on the abdominal skin. When the piston cylinder 62 moves downward, the motherwort gel is drawn into the chamber 321 through the connecting tube 67 and the first one-way valve; when the piston cylinder 62 moves upward, the gel is squeezed into the massage ball 64 through the hose 66 and the second one-way valve, and seeps out from the micropores on the surface of the massage ball 64. During the rolling process, it is evenly applied to the skin, realizing the simultaneous treatment of drug delivery and massage.

[0047] Specific application examples The following describes the specific application process of the abdominal targeted thermotherapy acupuncture device of this application in the process of uterine and ovarian care, in conjunction with Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 3.

[0048] In the field of women's reproductive health, the maintenance and functional regulation of the uterus and ovaries have always been a key focus of clinical attention. Common problems include decreased uterine smooth muscle contraction, poor pelvic blood circulation, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, cold uterus, and decreased ovarian function. These conditions often lead to menstrual irregularities, dysmenorrhea, infertility, or menopausal syndrome. Physical therapy methods targeting the uterus and ovaries mainly include abdominal massage, moxibustion, hot compresses, transdermal drug delivery, and acupuncture. Existing treatment and maintenance devices generally suffer from limitations such as single function, shallow level of action, and poor synergy.

[0049] This application provides an abdominal targeted thermotherapy acupuncture device. In specific use, the fixing cover 52 is opened, the moxa stick 324 is lit, and an appropriate amount of motherwort gel is injected into the chamber 321, and then the fixing cover 52 is installed.

[0050] The device is secured to the user's abdomen by the waist belt 2. The position of the main shell 1 is adjusted so that the position of the acupuncture needles 323 is aligned with the acupoints such as Qihai, Guanyuan, and Zhongji on the abdomen to be treated.

[0051] During acupuncture treatment, the electric push rod 53 is activated to move the outer cylinder 31 and the inner cylinder 32 towards the abdomen, thereby driving the filiform needle 323 to insert into the corresponding acupoints on the abdomen, thus achieving acupuncture stimulation of the acupoints on the abdomen.

[0052] During acupuncture, the burning of the moxa stick 324 inside the inner cylinder 32 provides a heat source for the acupuncture needle 323. As the acupuncture needle 323 is inserted into the acupoint, the movement of the rack and pinion 51 drives the rotation of the gear 42. Through the meshing transmission of the first bevel gear 43 and the second bevel gear 45, the air blowing blade 44 is driven to rotate, thereby blowing the heat generated by the burning of the moxa stick 324 evenly to the user's abdomen in the form of hot air. This improves the uniformity and penetration of heat therapy during acupuncture and moxibustion, and avoids excessive local temperature.

[0053] After acupuncture, the acupuncture needles 323 installed at the bottom of the dust shield 322 are removed. Then, the electric push rod 53 is activated, causing the moxibustion cylinder 3 to move back and forth, thereby achieving intermittent vertical pressure on the abdomen through the bottom of the outer cylinder 31, simulating palm pressure. The moxibustion cylinder 3 drives the piston cylinder 62 to move up and down, causing the piston 65 to move up and down within the piston cylinder 62. The piston 65 drives the rotating rod 63 to swing up and down, thereby causing the massage ball 64 to roll back and forth on the abdominal skin. The massage ball 64 provides rolling massage to the patient's abdomen, simulating the action of finger abdominal kneading.

[0054] When the piston cylinder 62 moves downward, the motherwort gel is drawn into the chamber 321 through the connecting tube 67 and the first one-way valve; when the piston cylinder 62 moves upward, the gel is squeezed into the massage ball 64 through the hose 66 and the second one-way valve, and seeps out from the micropores on the surface of the massage ball 64, and is evenly applied to the skin during the rolling process, so as to achieve simultaneous treatment of drug delivery and massage.

[0055] During the massage, the electric push rod 53 drives the rack rod 51 to move up and down, which in turn drives the gear 42 to rotate. Through the meshing transmission of the first bevel gear 43 and the second bevel gear 45, the air supply blade 44 is driven to rotate, thereby blowing the heat generated by the burning moxa stick 324 evenly to the user's abdomen in the form of hot air.

[0056] After treatment, control the electric push rod 53 to retract and reset, loosen the waist belt 2, remove the device, and clean and disinfect the acupuncture needles 323 and massage balls 64 for later use.

[0057] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this invention, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this invention. These modifications and improvements will not affect the effectiveness of the invention or the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed in this application shall be determined by the content of its claims, and the specific embodiments described in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
