Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a moxibustion fixed moxibustion frame to prevent scalding. Background Art

[0002] As one of the traditional Chinese medicine therapies, moxibustion has won the favor of the general public with its unique curative effect and long history. Moxibustion is a treatment method that uses the heat generated by moxibustion materials made of moxa leaves to stimulate acupuncture points or specific parts of the body surface to warm the meridians, harmonize qi and blood, and strengthen the body and eliminate evil. However, there are some problems in the use of traditional moxibustion methods, the most prominent of which is that the moxa stick is easy to burn the patient's skin when burning, which to a certain extent limits the popularity and application of moxibustion therapy.

[0003] To this end, in the prior art, there is also a method of directly fixing the moxa stick on the fixed moxibustion frame, and then setting an ash blocking cover at the front end of the burning moxa stick, and the ash blocking cover is connected to the moxa stick clamp. When the ash blocking cover is used, the ash blocking cover is clamped on the moxa stick by the moxa stick clamp. This method can effectively prevent the patient's skin from accidentally touching the burning moxa stick during the moxibustion process. However, during the use of the device, medical staff need to pay attention to the burning progress of the moxa stick frequently to prevent the moxa stick clamp and the ash blocking cover clamped on the surface of the moxa stick from falling on the patient due to excessive burning of the moxa stick. At the same time, during the burning process, since the moxa stick will gradually become shorter, the distance between the burning point of the moxa stick and the patient's moxibustion point will gradually increase, and accordingly, its therapeutic effect will gradually weaken, requiring medical staff to continue to pay attention to, clamp and adjust it, and this process is very likely to cause fatigue and other effects on medical staff, and affects the patient's treatment experience and effect.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the moxibustion anti-scalding fixed moxibustion frame of the embodiment of the present application includes a base 1, a support rod 2, an adjustment rod 3, a connecting seat 4 and a moxa stick adjustment tube 5.

[0018] A wheel 13 is arranged below the base 1, and the wheel 13 is a universal wheel with a braking function.

[0019] refer to Figure 1Specifically, the support rod 2 is vertically arranged above the base 1, wherein the support rod 2 adopts a telescopic structure, which includes a support tube 21, a telescopic rod 22 and an adjusting screw 23. The telescopic rod 22 is arranged inside the support tube 21 so as to be able to rise and fall. The adjusting screw 23 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the upper end of the support tube 21, and the end of the adjusting screw 23 is abutted against the rod body of the telescopic rod 22. One end of the adjusting rod 3 is hinged to the upper end of the telescopic rod 22 of the support rod 2, and the other end is hinged to the rear end surface of the connecting seat 4. Specifically, in this embodiment, the adjusting rod 3 includes a first adjusting rod 31 and a second adjusting rod 32. One end of the first adjusting rod 31 is hinged to the upper end of the support rod 2, and the other end is hinged to one end of the second adjusting rod 32. The other end of the second adjusting rod 32 is hinged to the rear surface of the connecting seat 4. Specifically, the rear surface of the connecting seat 4 is connected to the connecting end of the second adjusting rod 32 by a ball head hinge, wherein a ball seat 41 is provided on the rear surface of the connecting seat 4, and a ball head 42 is provided at the end of the second adjusting rod 32. In order to facilitate the fixing of the ball head 42, a threaded hole 411 is provided on the ball seat 41 through the interior thereof, and an adjusting screw 23 is provided on the threaded hole 411, and the end of the adjusting screw 23 abuts on the surface of the ball head 42. It should be noted that the second adjusting rod 32 in this embodiment is also arranged in a telescopic structure, and an adjusting screw 23 for adjusting its length is also provided on its surface.

[0020] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, the side of the moxa column adjustment tube 5 is fixedly connected to the front end surface of the connecting seat 4, wherein the moxa column adjustment tube 5 is provided with an opening 51 at the upper end of the side opposite to the connecting seat 4. In this embodiment, the lower end of the opening 51 extends downward to the middle and lower area of ​​the moxa column adjustment tube 5. The moxa column adjustment tube 5 is provided with a moxa column clamp 8 that can move up and down. The moxa column clamp 8 is used to clamp the tail end of the moxa column. In order to achieve the rise and fall of the moxa column, a lifting device 9 is provided on the outer side of the lower end of the moxa column adjustment tube 5, and the lifting end of the lifting device 9 can pass through the opening 51 of the moxa column adjustment tube 5 and be detachably connected to the moxa column clamp 8. The lifting end and the moxa column clamp 8 are detachably connected, so that when the lifting end descends, the moxa column will descend at the same time, and when the lifting end rises, the moxa column will rise at the same time. When installing the moxa stick in this embodiment, the moxa stick clamp 8 can be first taken out of the moxa stick adjusting tube 5, and then the moxa stick clamp 8 can be fixed to the tail end of the moxa stick. Then, after the head end of the moxa stick is ignited, the moxa stick is inserted into the moxa stick adjusting tube 5 through the head end, and finally the moxa stick clamp 8 is fixed to the lifting end of the lifting device 9.

[0021] Sliding grooves 52 are vertically arranged on the two side surfaces perpendicular to the opening 51 of the moxa column regulating tube 5, and the first infrared sensor 6 and the second infrared sensor 7 are slidably arranged on the sliding grooves 52. A single-chip microcomputer 10 is fixedly connected to the side of the lifting device 9, and the input end of the single-chip microcomputer 10 is electrically connected to the infrared sensor for receiving instructions. The single-chip microcomputer 10 can be an AT89C51 type single-chip microcomputer. The output end of the single-chip microcomputer 10 is electrically connected to the lifting device 9 for controlling the lifting of the lifting end. The first and second infrared sensors in this embodiment are both active infrared sensors, which include light-emitting diodes and receivers. The two groups of light-emitting diodes and receivers are symmetrically mounted on the sliding grooves 52 on the two side surfaces perpendicular to the opening 51.

[0022] In this embodiment, during the burning process of the moxa stick, the moxa stick will gradually become shorter, and the distance between the burning point of the moxa stick and the patient's moxibustion acupoint will gradually increase. Therefore, in order to keep the burning point of the moxa stick within the effective therapeutic range during moxibustion, the first infrared sensor 6 is arranged on one side near the bottom of the moxa stick adjusting tube 5, and is used to monitor the moxa stick after it falls to the safe position for moxibustion (at this time, the first infrared sensor 6 will detect the obstacle, that is, the ignition end of the moxa stick). The first infrared sensor 6 will send a command to the single-chip microcomputer 10, and the single-chip microcomputer 10 will control the lifting device 9 to stop falling. The second infrared sensor 7 is arranged at the upper end of the first infrared sensor 6 (that is, the last position where the therapeutic effect is weaker when the burning point is higher), and is used to detect whether the burning end of the moxa stick is out of the weakest position of the therapeutic effect during moxibustion. At this time, when the second infrared sensor 7 cannot detect the moxa stick, the second infrared sensor 7 will send a command to the single-chip microcomputer 10, and the single-chip microcomputer 10 will control the lifting device 9 to fall downward until it is detected by the first infrared sensor 6. It should be noted that the above effective therapeutic range can be determined according to the actual situation of moxibustion, that is, when the burning point is higher, the therapeutic effect is weaker. At this time, the second infrared sensor 7 can be adjusted downward accordingly.

[0023] refer to Figure 3, specifically, the lifting device 9 includes a motor 91, a lead screw 92, a slider 93, a power cord 94, and a switch 95. The lateral cross-section of the slider 93 is in a "plus" shape, and the slider 93 is slidably clamped on the opening 51 of the moxa stick adjusting cylinder 5. Thread holes 931 are communicated and opened on the upper and lower surfaces of the slider 93. The motor 91 is fixedly arranged outside the lower end of the moxa stick adjusting cylinder 5 and is directly below the opening 51 of the moxa stick adjusting cylinder 5. One end of the lead screw 92 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 91, and the other end passes through the thread hole 931 and is rotatably connected. The power cord 94 is electrically connected to the motor 91, and the switch 95 is arranged on the circuit between the motor 91 and the power cord 94 to control the on-off of the power cord 94. Through the setting of the motor, when the motor 91 rotates forward, the lead screw 92 will drive the slider 93 to slide upward, and when it rotates reversely, it will drive the slider 93 to slide downward, thereby realizing the rise and fall of the moxa stick clamp 8.

[0024] In this embodiment, the moxa stick clamp 8 adopts a hose clamp with an adjustable diameter. This hose clamp is a prior art, for example, having the same structure as a hose clamp disclosed in the patent document with the publication number CN219888972U. The hose clamp includes a connection head, a steel strip, and a flange screw. The connection head is provided with a rotation groove, and the flange screw is rotatably connected in the rotation groove. The steel strip has a connection end and an adjustment end. A clamping groove is opened on one side surface of the connection head. After passing through the rotation groove, the connection end is bent and inserted into the clamping groove, and after bending toward the side away from the connection end, the adjustment end is inserted into the rotation groove, and the adjustment end is threadedly connected to the flange screw. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the connection head is detachably connected to the slider 93 of the lifting device 9 through a bolt 96, which is convenient for disassembling the moxa stick clamp 8 to install the moxa stick.

[0025] To prevent the situation that when the moxa stick burns to the last section, the first infrared sensor 6 cannot detect the moxa stick and the lifting device 9 drives the moxa stick to descend infinitely, a third infrared sensor 11 is arranged beside the bottom of the opening 51 of the moxa stick adjusting cylinder 5. This third infrared sensor 11 also adopts an active infrared sensor. When the third infrared sensor 11 senses the slider 93 of the lifting device 9, the motor 91 of the lifting device 9 will stop rotating.

[0026] In this embodiment, a manual reset button 14 is arranged on the outer surface of the moxa stick adjusting cylinder 5. When it is necessary to take out the moxa stick clamp, press the manual reset button 14, and the motor 91 drives the slider 93 to slide upward and return to the initial position.

[0027] In addition, to prevent the burned moxa ash from falling on the patient, a dust-proof cover 12 is detachably arranged at the bottom of the moxa stick adjusting cylinder 5. In this embodiment, internal threads are opened on the inner side wall of the bottom of the moxa stick adjusting cylinder 5, and external threads are arranged on the outer side wall of the dust-proof cover 12. The dust-proof cover 12 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the moxa stick adjusting cylinder 5.

[0028] The method of using the moxibustion anti-scalding fixed moxibustion rack is as follows: when using it, first move the base 1, adjust the moxa stick adjustment tube 5 to the acupuncture point to be treated through the support rod 2 and the adjustment rod 3 and fix the position, then fix the ignited moxa stick strip to the moxa stick clamp 8, and fix the moxa stick clamp 8 to the slider 93 through the bolt 96, then turn on the power cord 94, press the switch 95, and the moxibustion anti-scalding fixed moxibustion rack will start working.

[0029] The working principle of the moxibustion anti-scald fixed moxibustion frame is as follows: when installing the moxa stick, the ignited end will pass through the second infrared sensor 7 and be flush with the first infrared sensor 6. When the burning point of the moxa stick gradually burns and moves up to the top of the second infrared sensor 7, the obstacle (moxa stick) disappears, and the second infrared sensor 7 will change the signal and feedback to the single-chip microcomputer 10. At this time, the single-chip microcomputer 10 will control the motor 91 to reverse, and the screw rod 92 will drive the moxa stick clip 8 and the moxa stick on the slider 93 to move downward until they are detected by the first infrared sensor 6 and stop falling. This step is repeated until the slider 93 falls to the third infrared sensor 11 and is detected by it, and the motor 91 will stop rotating until the moxa stick is completely burned out. It should be noted that since the first infrared sensor 6 detects an obstacle, the single-chip microcomputer 10 controls the motor 91 to stop rotating. Therefore, when the moxa stick is installed, whether the burning end of the moxa stick blocks the first infrared sensor 6, when the switch 95 is turned on, the motor 91 will not be started to drive the moxa stick on the slider 93 to fall.

[0030] It should be understood that all the above embodiments are illustrative rather than restrictive, and various modifications or variations made by those skilled in the art to the specific embodiments described above based on the concept of the present application should all be within the protection scope of the present application.
