Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of massage devices, and in particular to a hot compress device and a physiotherapy device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of social economy and the continuous improvement of people's living quality, the demand for massage and physiotherapy devices is increasing, especially for physiotherapy devices that use heating methods for physiotherapy to relieve body pain. Existing physiotherapy devices use electric heating followed by heat conduction through aluminum sheets or infrared irradiation for heating and massage. Although this heating and massage method has a high heating efficiency, a set of heating devices, heat conduction devices or infrared devices need to be set at corresponding positions for each body part that needs to be heated, which not only increases the cost, but also limits the design and layout of the heating devices, easily leading to an increase in the product volume and cost; moreover, it will also cause the skin where the heating and massage contact to be easily red or dry, causing a certain degree of damage to the human skin.

[0003] In addition, there is another heating physiotherapy method, which uses the moxibustion method in traditional Chinese medicine for physiotherapy, and performs physiotherapy on the human body by burning moxa wool and the like. This physiotherapy method mainly acts on human acupoints or meridians through the heat generated by burning moxa wool made of Artemisia argyi and the physiotherapy factors in Artemisia argyi to achieve the effect of physiotherapy. However, the traditional moxibustion method requires making moxa wool into moxa cones and placing them on human acupoints for physiotherapy, which has great limitations on the location of moxibustion physiotherapy and is not convenient to carry. Although moxa sticks that can burn for a long time and are easy to carry have been manufactured now, and they don't need to be replaced frequently because of their long burning time, they are difficult to fix, such as being held by hand, resulting in inconvenient use during moxibustion. And only one moxa stick can be used for moxibustion at a time, or moxibustion needs to be carried out in a fixed place, and it is easy to get scalded; in addition, a large amount of smoke is generated when burning moxa sticks, which is rather pungent and will also cause harm to the human body over time.
