Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of medical auxiliary equipment, and particularly relates to an ash collecting and anti-scalding device for warm acupuncture. Background Art

[0002] Warm acupuncture is a method combining acupuncture and moxibustion. Also known as needle-stem moxibustion, that is, during the process of retaining needles, moxa wool is kneaded into a ball and wrapped around the needle stem and ignited. The heat is transmitted into the acupoints through the needle body, and 1 - 3 moxa balls the size of a date pit are burned each time. This method has the functions of warming and dredging meridians, promoting qi and activating blood circulation, and is applicable to syndromes of cold and dampness preponderance and meridian stasis, such as arthralgia, numbness of the skin, etc.

[0003] When performing warm acupuncture treatment, after the moxa ball is ignited, it will turn into moxa ash and fall off or fly, causing scald to the patient's skin. Currently, when performing warm acupuncture, cardboard or other isolation items are usually used to catch the falling moxa ash. However, the method of using an isolation board is only applicable to collecting the moxa ash falling from above the human body when acupuncture is performed directly above the body. When acupuncture is performed on the side of the human body, the moxa ash cannot be collected through the isolation board, making it easy for the moxa ash to fall on the patient's skin and cause scald, and the falling moxa ash can easily burn clothes or bed sheets, and even cause a fire in severe cases. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an ash collecting and anti-scalding device for warm acupuncture, which can collect the falling moxa ash and avoid harm to the human body caused by the moxa ash.

[0005] The ash collecting and anti-scalding device for warm acupuncture includes two shells. One side of the two shells is hinged to each other. After the two shells swing and close, they are combined into a cylindrical ash collecting cylinder. The top of the ash collecting cylinder is provided with an opening.

After the two shells 1 swing and close, the second sealing strip 8 will be squeezed by the two shells 1, so as to seal the gap between the two shells 1, and prevent the ash from leaking out from the gap between the two shells 1;

[0029] For further explanation, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, preferably, this embodiment includes two medical adhesive films 5. The medical adhesive film 5 is a special medical adhesive material, mainly used to fix the position of medical devices, dressings or drugs on the patient's skin. It can firmly fix medical devices or dressings, prevent them from moving or falling off, and will not cause allergic or irritating reactions when contacting the skin. After completing the fixing task, it can be easily removed without damaging the skin. The medical adhesive film is widely used in operating rooms, first aid, wound care, infusion therapy and other fields. Common applications include fixing infusion tubes, urinary catheters, electrocardiogram electrodes, dressings, etc.; several support rods 9 are vertically fixed on the two shells 1. In this embodiment, two support rods 9 are vertically fixed at the bottom of each shell 1, and the two support rods 9 are spaced and aligned; a heat insulation pad 6 is fixed at the bottom of each support rod 9, and the two medical adhesive films 5 are horizontally arranged at intervals below the two shells 1; the heat insulation pad 6 is made of materials such as foamed rubber, extruded polystyrene, and polyurethane foam. The heat insulation pad 6 is fixed at the bottom of the support rod 9 by screws or glue, so as to facilitate the replacement of the heat insulation pad 6. When the shell 1 collects the ash of moxa, it will absorb the remaining heat of the ash of moxa, and the heat on the shell 1 will be conducted to the support rod 9. The heat insulation pad 6 can isolate the heat and prevent the patient's skin from being scalded; the heat insulation pads 6 are respectively fixed on the medical adhesive films 5 aligned with them, and all the heat insulation pads 6 are fixed on the medical adhesive films 5 by glue; during use, place the two shells 1 above the acupuncture point, make the medical adhesive film 5 fit on the patient's skin, fix the position of the shell 1, and support the shell 1 through the support rod 9. When the heat on the shell 1 is conducted to the support rod 9, the heat insulation pad 6 can isolate the heat and prevent the patient's skin from being scalded; the overall scheme constitutes a fixing component for fixing on the human body; of course, the fixing component can also adopt a strap. Fix a strap on all the support rods 9. When the two shells 1 are placed above the acupuncture point, make the heat insulation pad 6 fit on the human skin, then wrap the strap around the patient's body once, and tighten and tie the aligned straps.

[0030] Through grooves that communicate up and down and are used for the needle to pass through are formed on the side walls of the two shells 1 that are mutually attached. After the two shells 1 swing and close, they are combined into a dust collecting cylinder. After the two shells 1 are closed, the two through grooves are combined into a round hole that communicates up and down, and the round hole is located at the center of the bottom of the dust collecting cylinder. During use, during the process of the two shells 1 swinging and closing, align the two through grooves with the acupuncture needle, so that the needle passes through the round hole formed by the combination of the two through grooves, and make the needle handle of the needle located inside the two shells 1; thus, the falling ash of moxa is collected in the dust collecting cylinder formed by the combination of the two shells 1.

[0031] Clamping blocks 7 for clamping and fixing the needle are fixed in the two through grooves. The clamping blocks 7 are made of materials such as rubber, silica gel, and latex. These materials have a soft texture and are not easy to cause extrusion damage to the needle. When the needle passes through the through groove, the two clamping blocks 7 clamp the needle and fix the needle through friction to prevent the needle from loosening.

[0032] For further illustration, as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, in this embodiment, it preferably includes a left cover 3.1 and a right cover 3.2. The left cover 3.1 and the right cover 3.2 are respectively hinged on the inner side walls of the two shells 1. The left cover 3.1 and the right cover 3.2 are respectively fixed in the two shells 1 through pivot shafts. Pivot shafts are fixed at both ends of the left cover 3.1 and the right cover 3.2. Corresponding to the pivot shafts, mounting holes communicating inside and outside are provided on the two shells 1. The pivot shafts are inserted into the aligned mounting holes, so as to hinge the left cover 3.1 and the right cover 3.2 in the two shells 1 respectively, enabling the two shells to swing open and close relatively; after the left cover 3.1 and the right cover 3.2 swing and close relatively, they are combined into a semi-circular cover with the opening facing downward. After the left cover 3.1 and the right cover 3.2 swing and close, they are combined into a semi-circular cover. The opening at the top of the ash-containing cylinder is blocked and covered by the cover to prevent the ash from the moxa from flying out to the outside from the opening of the ash-containing cylinder; on the side walls where the left cover 3.1 and the right cover 3.2 are in contact with each other, there are provided notches for ventilation. After the left cover 3.1 and the right cover 3.2 swing and close, the two notches are combined into a perforation communicating inside and outside. The perforation is located at the top of the semi-circular cover, mainly used to allow air to circulate inside and outside, prevent the ignited moxa ball from going out, and facilitate medical staff to observe the burning situation of the moxa ball; during use, when treating a part on the side of the patient's body, the ash-containing cylinder is fixed at the treatment site, and the handle of the needle is inserted into the ash-containing cylinder. At this time, the ash-containing cylinder is inclined in the same direction as the handle of the needle, and the handle of the needle is located at the center of the ash-containing cylinder. After twisting and wrapping the moxa floss into a ball and igniting it on the handle of the needle, swing the left cover 3.1 and the right cover 3.2 in the opposite direction to close, so that the left cover 3.1 and the right cover 3.2 are combined into a semi-circular cover to block the opening of the ash-containing cylinder. When the ash falls, it will be blocked by the left cover 3.1 and the right cover 3.2, thus preventing the ash from falling and flying out from the opening of the ash-containing cylinder and avoiding scalding the human skin. Let the ash blocked by the left cover 3.1 and the right cover 3.2 fall along the inner side walls of the two into the ash-containing cylinder, and collect the ash through the ash-containing cylinder. When a new moxa ball needs to be installed, swing the left cover 3.1 and the right cover 3.2 open to expose the handle of the needle, which is more convenient for medical staff to install the moxa ball, and medical staff can observe the burning situation of the moxa ball from the notch; this solution as a whole constitutes a dust-proof cover 3 for blocking the ash; of course, the dust-proof cover 3 can also adopt a semi-circular integral cover. A ventilation hole is provided at the top of the integral cover. The integral cover is sleeved on the opening at the top of the ash-containing cylinder. An interference fit is formed between the ash-containing cylinder and the integral cover, so that the integral cover can be fixed on the ash-containing cylinder. When installing the moxa ball, just remove the integral cover.

[0033] On the inner side walls of the two shells 1, a first sealing strip 11 for sealing the gap between the shell 1 and the ash baffle 3 is fixed along the circumferential direction. The first sealing strip 11 is fixed along the uppermost edge of the inner side wall of the shell 1, and the first sealing strip 11 fits on the corresponding shell 1, so as to seal the gap between the shell 1 and the ash baffle 3 and prevent the mugwort ash in the ash bucket formed by the combination of the two shells 1 from leaking out from the gap.

[0034] On the tops of the two shells 1, top blocks 2 are fixed. The side walls of the two top blocks 2 are respectively attached to the outer side walls of the left cover body 3.1 and the right cover body 3.2. The top blocks 2 are made of materials with high friction coefficients such as rubber, silica gel, and latex. After the left cover body 3.1 and the right cover body 3.2 swing open or closed relatively, the two top blocks 2 lock the opened or closed left cover body 3.1 and right cover body 3.2 through the frictional force with the left cover body 3.1 or the right cover body 3.2, ensuring that the left cover body 3.1 and the right cover body 3.2 can block the mugwort ash.

[0035] On the two ash baffles 3, pulling balls 4 for facilitating the opening and closing of the two ash baffles 3 are fixed; the two pulling balls 4 are respectively located at the tops after the left cover body 3.1 and the right cover body 3.2 swing and close relatively. Medical staff pull the pulling balls 4 to drive the left cover body 3.1 and the right cover body 3.2 to swing open. After the left cover body 3.1 and the right cover body 3.2 are opened, the pulling balls 4 will fit on the tops of the corresponding shells 1, so as to prevent the left cover body 3.1 or the right cover body 3.2 from completely entering the corresponding shell 1, which is more convenient for medical staff to open or close the left cover body 3.1 and the right cover body 3.2.

[0036] During actual use, when treating a part on the side of a patient's body, align the two shells 1 with the acupuncture point. Swing the two shells 1. During the process of swinging and closing the two shells 1, align the two through slots with the acupuncture needle, so that the needle passes through the circular hole formed by the combination of the two through slots, and the needle handle of the needle is located inside the two shells 1. Rotate the screw to lock the two closed shells 1. Then attach the medical adhesive film 5 to the patient's skin to fix the position of the shell 1, and support the shell 1 through the support rod 9. When the heat on the shell 1 is conducted to the support rod 9, the heat insulation pad 6 can isolate the heat to prevent the patient's skin from being scalded. At this time, the ash collecting cylinder is inclined in the same direction as the needle handle, and the needle handle is located at the center of the ash collecting cylinder. Twist the moxa wool into a ball and wrap it around the needle handle and light it. Swing and close the left cover 3.1 and the right cover 3.2 in opposite directions so that the left cover 3.1 and the right cover 3.2 form a semi-circular cover to block the opening of the ash collecting cylinder. When the moxa ash falls, it will be blocked by the left cover 3.1 and the right cover 3.2, thus preventing the moxa ash from falling and scattering outward from the opening of the ash collecting cylinder and avoiding scalding the human skin. Let the moxa ash blocked by the left cover 3.1 and the right cover 3.2 fall into the ash collecting cylinder along the inner walls of the two. Collect the moxa ash through the ash collecting cylinder. When a new moxa ball needs to be installed, swing the left cover 3.1 and the right cover 3.2 open to expose the needle handle, which is more convenient for medical staff to install the moxa ball, and medical staff can observe the burning condition of the moxa ball from the notch.
