Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the medical field, in particular to a handheld universal moxibustion fork with adjustable length. Background Art

[0002] Moxibustion, also known as moxibustion therapy or moxibustion method, uses moxa sticks or moxa cones made of mugwort. When the moxa sticks or moxa cones are ignited, moxa heat will be generated, which will stimulate the acupuncture points or specific parts of the human body, and adjust the disordered physiological and biochemical functions of the human body by stimulating the activity of meridian qi, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and curing diseases.

[0003] Among them, in order to avoid burning the hands with the burning moxa stick, people usually use a moxibustion fork to insert the burning moxa stick and hold the handle for moxibustion.

[0004] However, due to the fixed structure of traditional moxibustion forks, the length of the handle cannot be adjusted. After burning for a period of time, the moxa stick will form a shorter column, that is, the part of the moxa stick that generates heat gradually approaches the handle. The operator's hands will still come into contact with high-temperature moxa smoke, or the fingers may accidentally touch the burning moxa stick, and there is still a risk of accidental hand injury.

[0005] And because the handle and the fixed moxa stick are in the same straight line, and the overall structure of the moxibustion fork after the moxa stick is fixed is relatively long, if you want to adjust the angle of moxibustion, you need to control the handle to rotate significantly and maintain a specific posture with your hand, which is not flexible enough. Especially when patients perform moxibustion by themselves at home, the operation is laborious and they can easily burn themselves.

[0006] Therefore, a special moxibustion fork that is convenient for adjusting the overall length and angle is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a handheld universal moxibustion fork with adjustable length, which can flexibly adjust the length and moxibustion direction of the moxibustion fork according to usage conditions, effectively fix the adjusted moxibustion fork structure, and prevent the moxa stick from falling off.

[0008] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

In this embodiment, 5 pins 20 are only one example.

[0030] Among them, the grip rod 1 is provided with an anti-slip structure, which can be that the surface of the outer rod 10 is provided with multiple anti-slip grooves, or the surface of the outer rod 10 is coated with an anti-slip material. Both anti-slip structures are acceptable. In this embodiment, the surface of the outer rod 10 is made of rubber material.

[0031] The structure of the universal connecting rod 4 includes a fixed rod 40, a universal ball 41 and a docking rod 42. The fixed rod 40 is connected to the fork body 2. The two ends of the docking rod 42 are respectively connected to the universal ball 41 and the inner rod 11. The universal ball 41 is movably arranged in the fixed rod 40. The fixed rod 40 is provided with a locking rod 43 for limiting the movable state of the universal ball 41. The specific connection structure of the universal connecting rod 4 and the locking rod 43 can adopt the structure of the spherical small pan-tilt head in the prior art, and the angle can be adjusted arbitrarily and locked.

[0032] The adjusting button 30 drives the inner rod 11 to move in the outer rod 10 through the transmission assembly. Specifically, the adjusting structure 3 includes the adjusting button 30 and the transmission assembly.

[0033] The adjusting button 30 is movably arranged on the side wall of the outer rod 10, and the transmission assembly includes a convex tooth portion 31 and a gear ring 32. The convex tooth portion 31 is arranged on the side wall of the inner rod 11. The adjusting button 30 is a disc-shaped structure, and the adjusting button 30 is rotatably arranged on the outer rod 10. The gear ring 32 is sleeved and fixedly connected to the outer circumferential surface of the adjusting button 30, and the convex tooth portion 31 is meshed with the gear ring 32.

[0034] The inner rod 11 can be moved by controlling the rotation of the gear ring 32. In order to achieve the purpose of limiting the state of the inner rod 11, it also includes a limiting gear 5 for limiting the activity state of the inner rod 11. The limiting gear 5 is arranged inside the outer rod 10 through the rotating shaft 50. The limiting gear 5 is meshed and connected with the convex tooth portion 31. A damping layer 51 made of rubber or silicone is provided between the limiting gear 5 and the rotating shaft 50.

[0035] To prevent the operator from accidentally touching the rotating ring gear 32, a control component 6 is also included for controlling the distance between the adjusting button 30 and the inner rod 11. The control component 6 includes a rotating rod 60, a movable frame 61 and a return spring 62 arranged inside the outer rod 10. The movable frame 61 is connected to the inner wall of the outer rod 10 through the return spring 62, the rotating rod 60 is connected to the movable rod, and the adjusting button 30 is connected to the rotating rod 60 for coaxial rotation. When the adjusting button 30 is pressed or released, the rotating rod 60 and the movable rod synchronously approach or move away from the inner rod 11.

[0036] In order to increase the fixing effect of the moxa stick and prevent the moxa stick from slipping and scalding the patient, a plurality of columnar covers 7 are provided on the fork body 2. The insertion needle 20 is located inside the cover body 7. An opening for the moxa stick to enter and exit is opened on the cover body 7, and a cover 70 is detachably connected to the opening. The cover body 7 and the cover 70 are both made of existing metal materials (such as iron or copper).

[0037] The connection between the cover body 7 and the cover 70 can be a structure in which the cover 70 is detachable as a whole and docked with the opening of the cover body 7, or a structure in which one side of the cover 70 is directly connected to the cover body 7 and the other side is separated from the cover body 7 and docked.

[0038] In order to facilitate quick docking and prevent the cover 70 from being lost, one side of the cover 70 is rotatably connected to the edge of the opening, and the other side of the cover 70 is fixed to the edge of the opening by an elastic buckle 71.

[0039] The following is the usage of this embodiment:

Since there are holes on both the cover body 7 and the cover 70, the moxa stick inside can be ignited and moxibustion can be performed.

[0041] During the moxibustion process, if you need to adjust the length of the grip rod 1, Figure 4As shown, by pressing the gear ring 32, the return spring 62 is stretched by force, so that the gear ring 32, the adjusting button 30, the rotating rod 60 and the movable frame 61 are all displaced toward the inner rod 11. After the gear ring 32 is engaged with the convex tooth portion 31, since the adjusting button 30 and the rotating rod 60 are relatively independent, the gear ring 32 can be rotated to drive the inner rod 11 to move, thereby adjusting the length of the gripping rod 1. The limiting gear 5 can rotate adaptively. When the gear ring 32 is not rotated, due to the limiting effect of the damping layer 51, the limiting gear 5 fixes the position of the inner rod 11, thereby locking the inner rod 11.

[0042] If the angle of moxibustion needs to be changed or the patient needs to operate it by himself, the adjustment principle of the spherical head can be referred to, the locking state can be released by rotating the locking rod 43, and the fixing rod 40 can be rotated to change the angle between the moxa stick and the holding rod 1, and then the locking state can be locked by rotating the locking rod 43.

[0043] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. A person skilled in the art may make several modifications and improvements without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements shall also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
