Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of moxibustion devices, in particular to a moxibustion bracket for treating shoulder pain after stroke. Background Art

[0002] Stroke is an acute cerebrovascular disease caused by sudden rupture or blockage of blood vessels in the brain, resulting in insufficient blood perfusion of brain tissue and thus brain tissue damage. Hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) is a common complication after stroke, commonly occurring 1 - 3 months after stroke, with an incidence rate as high as 70%. Patients mainly present with shoulder pain, numbness, burning pain, etc., and the movement of the shoulder joint is significantly limited, seriously affecting the motor function of the affected limb and the overall rehabilitation process. Currently, moxibustion treatment is clinically used to relieve shoulder pain after stroke. However, the following problems are found in daily treatment:

[0003] 1. Due to the special structure of the shoulder, the moxibustion boxes commonly used clinically are often single - hole square boxes, which are only suitable for moxibustion on flat parts of the human body. However, the shoulder structure of the human body is special. When the moxibustion box is placed on it, it is easy to tilt and slip, and in severe cases, it may even burn the clothes. Patients can only perform moxibustion in the supine position.

[0004] 2. The shoulder structure of the human body is special and not flat, resulting in uneven heating temperature. The temperature difference between the concave and convex parts is different, and the convex part is easily burned. Moreover, the ordinary moxibustion box has a single part and cannot penetrate the entire affected shoulder, resulting in an insignificant treatment effect.

[0005] 3. Ordinary moxibustion boxes do not have multi - layer protection devices, and scalding accidents are likely to occur during use.

[0006] 4. The height of the moxa in the moxibustion box cannot be adjusted during use, and it cannot be adjusted according to the patient's needs or the remaining length of the moxa.

[0007] 5. Ordinary moxibustion boxes cannot press the shoulder to relieve pain symptoms. Content of the Utility Model

[0008] In order to overcome the problems in the above - mentioned background art, the utility model provides a moxibustion bracket for treating shoulder pain after stroke. By installing multiple moxibustion boxes in the main body of the moxibustion bracket, it has the beneficial effects of simple structure, easy operation, improved moxibustion effect, stable placement during moxibustion, high safety, adjustable height of the moxibustion box, and the ability to press the shoulder.

The patient can also perform moxibustion in a sitting position. The special structure of the moxibustion bracket body enables it to completely wrap the entire shoulder. The smoke generated by the burning in the moxibustion box can disperse in the moxibustion bracket body and be released from the opening at the bottom of the moxibustion bracket body to the entire shoulder, so that the moxibustion effect can be effectively released to the maximum extent and penetrate into the entire shoulder, improving the moxibustion effect;

[0013] (2) Due to the arc-shaped structure of the moxibustion bracket body and the moxibustion boxes being evenly arranged along the length direction of the top surface of the moxibustion bracket body, during moxibustion treatment, the arrangement of the moxibustion boxes matches the shape of the shoulder, greatly avoiding the problems in the background technology that due to the special structure of the shoulder of the body, which is not a plane, there is uneven heating temperature, different temperature differences at the concave and convex parts, and the convex parts are easily burned;

[0014] (3) The double protection of the moxibustion bracket body and the moxibustion box effectively reduces or avoids the risk of the patient being scalded during moxibustion, improving the safety of use.

[0015] Preferably, the height range of the moxibustion bracket body is 10 - 12 cm, and the length range of the arc-shaped edge at the bottom is 35 - 45 cm.

[0016] More preferably, the number of moxibustion boxes is 2 - 4, the distance between adjacent moxibustion boxes is the same, and the height range of the moxibustion box is 7 - 9 cm.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0029] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0030] Embodiment 1: As Figures 1 to 3An moxibustion bracket for treating shoulder pain after stroke is shown, including an moxibustion bracket body 1. The moxibustion bracket body 1 is an arc-shaped box structure with an open bottom, and the two side edges of the bottom are arc-shaped edges that match the shape of the shoulder. Along the length direction of the top surface of the moxibustion bracket body 1, a number of moxibustion boxes 2 are evenly arranged. The bottom surface of the moxibustion box 2 is fixed with a double-layer wire mesh, and the top surface is provided with an moxibustion hole for inserting an moxibustion stick 21, and the moxibustion stick 21 is fixed by a buckle circumferentially around the moxibustion hole. The moxibustion box 2 extends into the cavity of the moxibustion bracket body 1.

[0031] Through the moxibustion bracket body 1 set in this embodiment, multiple moxibustion boxes 2 can be installed in the moxibustion bracket body 1 at the same time. Since the bottom of the moxibustion bracket body 1 is an open structure and the two side edges of the bottom of the moxibustion bracket body 1 are arc-shaped edges that match the shape of the shoulder, during treatment, the moxibustion bracket body 1 can be completely attached to the patient's shoulder, with stable attachment and good safety. The patient can also perform moxibustion in a sitting position. The special structure of the moxibustion bracket body 1 enables it to completely wrap the entire shoulder. The smoke generated by the burning in the moxibustion box 2 can be dispersed in the moxibustion bracket body 1 and released from the opening at the bottom of the moxibustion bracket body 1 to the entire shoulder, so that the moxibustion effect can be effectively released to the maximum extent and penetrate into the entire shoulder, improving the moxibustion effect; due to the arc-shaped structure of the moxibustion bracket body 1 and the moxibustion boxes 2 being evenly arranged along the length direction of the top surface of the moxibustion bracket body 1, during moxibustion treatment, the arrangement of the moxibustion boxes 2 matches the shape of the shoulder, greatly avoiding the problems in the background technology that due to the special structure of the shoulder of the body, which is not a plane, there is uneven heating temperature, and the temperature difference between the concave and convex parts is different and the convex parts are easily burned; the double-layer protection of the moxibustion bracket body 1 and the moxibustion box 2 effectively reduces or avoids the risk of the patient being scalded during moxibustion, improving the safety of use.

[0032] Embodiment 2: On the basis of Embodiment 1, a preferred design is carried out. The height range of the moxibustion bracket body 1 is 10 - 12 cm, and the length range of the bottom arc edge is 35 - 45 cm; the number range of the moxibustion boxes 2 is 2 - 4, preferably 3, and the height range of the moxibustion boxes 2 is 7 - 9 cm, preferably 8 cm. Setting the above height range of the moxibustion bracket body 1 is beneficial to installing the moxibustion boxes 2 in the moxibustion bracket body 1. The above-set length range of the bottom arc edge is suitable for the shoulder lengths of most people, facilitating placing the moxibustion bracket body 1 on the shoulder; by arranging the moxibustion boxes 2 evenly on the moxibustion bracket body 1, it is beneficial to evenly release the smoke generated by the burning in the moxibustion boxes 2 to the shoulder. Setting 2 - 4 moxibustion boxes 2 ensures that the shoulder can be fully absorbed for treatment and also avoids using too many moxibustion boxes 2 to increase the pressure on the shoulder.

[0033] Embodiment 3: On the basis of Embodiment 1, a preferred design is carried out, such as Figures 1 to 2As shown in the figure, several vertically arranged sliding grooves 3 are respectively provided on both sides of the moxibustion bracket body 1. The number of sliding grooves 3 on each side is the same as that of the moxibustion box 2 and their positions are opposite to each other, that is, each moxibustion box 2 is connected to the corresponding sliding grooves 3 on both sides. A strip hole 31 arranged along its length direction is opened at the bottom of the sliding groove 3. The adjusting rod 4 passes through the strip hole 31 and is connected to the moxibustion box 2. The extending end of the adjusting rod 4 is connected to the side surface of the moxibustion box 2. The extending end can be connected to the blind hole opened on the side wall of the moxibustion box 2, or can pass through the opening on the side wall of the moxibustion box 2 and be clamped in the opening of the moxibustion box 2 by the fixing nut 45 connected to the end. The fixing nut 45 is in contact with the side wall of the moxibustion box 2. The sliding groove 3 is a T-shaped groove, that is, its cross-section is in a "T" shape. An adjusting knob 41 is fixed at the outer end of the adjusting rod 4. The adjusting knob 41 includes a base 42 and a knob 43. The knob 43 is fixed on the surface of the base 42. The base 42 is connected to the surface of the sliding groove 3 and can slide up and down on the surface of the sliding groove 3. A sliding block nut 44 that is sleeved on the rod body and cooperates with the sliding groove 3 is provided in the sliding groove 3. By rotating the adjusting knob 41, the sliding block nut 44 is clamped and fixed at both ends in the sliding groove 3, and the moxibustion box 2 is fixedly connected to the moxibustion bracket body 1. By providing the sliding block nut 44 that cooperates with the sliding groove 3 on the adjusting rod 4, when the height of the moxibustion box 2 needs to be adjusted, by rotating the knob 43, the sliding block nut 44 can move up and down in the sliding groove 3. After determining the height, rotate the knob 43 in the reverse direction, and both ends of the sliding block nut 44 abut and are fixed in the sliding groove 3. After the determined height of the moxibustion box 2 is fixed in the moxibustion bracket body 1, the problem that the moxibustion in the moxibustion box 2 in the background art cannot be adjusted in height during use and cannot be adjusted according to the needs of the patient or the remaining length of the moxibustion is solved. When adjusting the height of the moxibustion box 2, the adjustable distance range between the bottom surface of the moxibustion box 2 and the bottom surface of the moxibustion bracket body 1 is 2-4 cm, that is, when the moxibustion box 2 is at the highest position of the sliding groove 3, the distance between the bottom surface of the moxibustion box 2 and the bottom surface of the moxibustion bracket body 1 is 4 cm. When the moxibustion box 2 is at the lowest position of the sliding groove 3, the distance between the bottom surface of the moxibustion box 2 and the bottom surface of the moxibustion bracket body 1 is 2 cm. This kind of distance range can not only avoid the moxibustion box 2 being too far from the shoulder and affecting the treatment effect, but also avoid scalding the shoulder due to being too close to the shoulder.

[0034] Further, a cushion block 46 is provided between the two side surfaces of the moxibustion box 2 and the inner side of the moxibustion bracket body 1. The adjusting rod 4 passes through the cushion block 46 and is fixedly connected to it. When the knob 43 is rotated until the moxibustion box 2 is fixedly connected to the moxibustion bracket body 1, both sides of the cushion block 46 abut against the outer side surface of the moxibustion box 2 and the inner side surface of the moxibustion bracket body 1 respectively. This kind of design improves the installation stability of the moxibustion box 2.

[0035] Example 4: On the basis of Example 1, a preferred design is carried out, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, an arc-shaped frame 5 is fixed to the bottom surface of the moxibustion bracket body 1, and the two are fixed together by screws. The bending radian of the arc-shaped frame 5 is consistent with the bottom surface of the moxibustion bracket body 1. A number of massage holes 51 are provided on the bottom surface of the arc-shaped frame 5. Massage beads 52 are embedded in the massage holes 51. The diameter of the massage holes 51 is smaller than the diameter of the massage beads 52 to prevent the massage beads 52 from falling out of the massage holes 51. The top of the massage beads 52 abuts against the top surface of the arc-shaped frame 5, and the lower part protrudes outwards from the massage holes 51 and is clamped in the massage holes 51. Therefore, during moxibustion treatment, the massage beads 52 can directly contact the human skin while moxibustion is being performed, which can prevent muscle spasms around the shoulder joint, relieve pain symptoms, and restore the motor function of the upper limb, solving the problem in the background art that the ordinary moxibustion box 2 cannot press on the shoulder to relieve pain symptoms.

[0036] Further, as Figure 3 shown, the arc-shaped frame 5 includes side brackets 53 and a middle bracket 54. The side brackets 53 are arranged along the edge of the bottom surface of the moxibustion bracket body 1 and are attached to it. The two ends of the middle bracket 54 are connected to the side brackets 53 and are integrally connected. The middle bracket 54 is arranged at an interval from the moxibustion box 2, that is, a middle bracket 54 is provided directly below the middle of adjacent moxibustion boxes 2. The massage holes 51 are evenly arranged along the length direction of the side brackets 53 or the middle bracket 54. This setting can not only maintain the pressing effect of the massage beads 52 but also not affect the release effect of moxibustion during moxibustion.

[0037] Embodiment 5: On the basis of Embodiment 1, a preferred design is made. Fixed straps 22 are provided on the upper parts of both sides of the moxibustion box 2. The fixed straps 22 are fixedly connected to the moxibustion box 2 by screws. During moxibustion, the fixed straps 22 can be tied to the shoulders to fix the entire moxibustion bracket body 1 on the shoulders, solving the problem in the background art that when the moxibustion box 2 is placed on the shoulders, the stability is not strong, it is easy to tilt and slip, and in severe cases, it may even burn the clothes.

[0038] The above embodiments only express the specific implementation manners of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the protection scope of the present application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the technical solution of the present application, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
