[0026] In the above description of the utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or position relationship indicated by the terms "one side", "the other side", etc. is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or position relationship in which the utility model product is usually placed when in use, and is only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] In addition, terms such as "identical" do not require the mechanisms to be absolutely the same, but rather there can be minor differences. The term "vertical" merely means that the positional relationship between the mechanisms is more vertical relative to "parallel", and does not mean that the structure must be completely vertical, but can be slightly inclined.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: an ash receiving tool for warm acupuncture, including a threading tube 1 for threading an acupuncture needle and a collection vessel 2 fixedly disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the threading tube 1. The upper end surface of the collection vessel 2 is recessed downward to form a groove 3 for receiving ash. The collection vessel 3 is in a bowl shape. The upper end of the threading tube 1 is located in the groove 3, and the upper end of the threading tube 1 is tapered.

[0029] When the ash receiving tool for warm acupuncture of the present utility model is in use, during the process of warm needle moxibustion, first, the acupuncture needle is inserted into the designated acupoint of the user. Subsequently, the threading tube 1 is threaded outside the acupuncture needle. Then, the moxa cone is wrapped around the needle handle of the acupuncture needle. At this time, the collection vessel 2 is supported by the threading tube 1 and is located below the moxa cone. Finally, the moxa cone is ignited to perform warm moxibustion treatment on the user. During the treatment process, the ash generated by the burning of the moxa cone falls and is collected in the groove 3, thereby preventing the user from being scalded by the ash and enabling the collection of the ash through the collection vessel 2 to avoid environmental pollution. Secondly, the upper end of the threading tube 1 is tapered, which avoids ash accumulation at the top of the threading tube 1 and reduces the possibility of ash falling into the threading tube 1. At the same time, the ash receiving tool for warm acupuncture of the present utility model can be reused after being cleaned.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , in this embodiment, a fixing base 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the threading tube 1. The fixing base 4 is in a trumpet shape, and a fixing layer 5 is provided at one end of the fixing base 4 that contacts the user's skin.

[0031] In this solution, the fixing base 4 can be adhesively fixed to the user's skin through the fixing layer 5. Designing the fixing base 4 in a trumpet shape makes it more aesthetically pleasing. Secondly, the threading tube 1 can be supported by the fixing base 4 to prevent the threading tube 1 from tilting and squeezing the acupuncture needle, resulting in the loosening of the acupuncture needle, thereby ensuring the normal progress of warm moxibustion treatment.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , in this embodiment, a housing 6 is detachably connected to the fixing base 4. The middle part of the housing 6 contracts inward, such that the diameter of the middle part of the housing 6 is smaller than the diameters of the openings at both ends of the housing 6, and the inner wall of the middle part of the housing 6 contacts the outer edge of the collection vessel 2.

[0033] In this solution, by threadedly connecting the outer shell 6 to the top of the fixed base 4, it is possible to prevent the ash from being blown off by the outside wind and polluting the environment. At the same time, it can prevent the ash from falling during the treatment process due to the movement of the user. Secondly, since the inner wall of the middle part of the outer shell 6 contacts the outer edge of the collection container 2, it can ensure that the ash is more completely collected in the collection container 2, avoiding the ash from falling onto the top surface of the fixed base 4 or the outside. Finally, the middle part of the outer shell 6 contracts towards the middle, so that the diameter of the middle part of the outer shell 6 is smaller than the diameters of the openings at both ends of the outer shell 6. Thus, compared with designing the outer shell 6 as a cylinder, the weight of the outer shell 6 can be reduced, and the appearance is more beautiful, which is more conducive to holding and using the ash-receiving tool for warm acupuncture moxibustion of the present utility model.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 3 , in this embodiment, a retaining ring 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top opening of the outer shell 6. The top opening of the retaining ring 7 contracts towards the middle, and the diameter of the top opening of the retaining ring 7 is smaller than the diameter of the bottom opening of the retaining ring 7.

[0035] In this solution, by installing the retaining ring 7 on the inner wall of the top opening of the outer shell 6, it is possible to further block the ash and avoid the ash from being poured out from the top of the outer shell 6 due to accidentally knocking down the outer shell 6 after the treatment work is completed.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , in this embodiment, a top cover 8 for covering its opening is detachably installed at the top opening of the outer shell 6; several first ventilation holes 9 are opened on the end face of the outer shell 6 close to the top cover 8, and the first ventilation holes 9 penetrate through the shell wall of the outer shell 6.

[0037] In this solution, the top cover 8 can further prevent the ash from being poured out from the top of the outer shell 6 when the outer shell 6 is knocked down, and the first ventilation holes 9 can provide conditions for the burning of the moxa stick.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in this embodiment, a clamping ring 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top cover 8. The outer circumferential surface of the clamping ring 10 abuts against the inner wall of the outer shell 6; several second ventilation holes 11 are opened on the end face of the clamping ring 10 close to the top cover 8, and the second ventilation holes 11 penetrate through the clamping ring 10.

[0039] In this solution, the top cover 8 is inserted into the top opening of the outer shell 6 through the clamping ring 10. By twisting the top cover 8, the coincidence degree of the first ventilation holes 9 and the second ventilation holes 11 can be adjusted to control the ventilation volume, so as to adjust the burning speed of the moxa stick as needed.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 4In this embodiment, a plurality of through grooves 12 are formed on the end surface of the snap ring 10 away from the top cover 8 , the through grooves 12 penetrate the snap ring 10 , and the plurality of through grooves 12 are respectively connected to the plurality of second ventilation holes 11 .

[0041] In the present embodiment, the snap ring 10 can be divided into a plurality of arc-shaped blocks by cooperating with a plurality of the through grooves 12 and a plurality of the second ventilation holes 11. The shape change of the plurality of arc-shaped blocks is conducive to stably inserting the top cover 8 into the opening at the top of the outer shell 6, and a friction layer is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the snap ring 10 to improve the stability of the connection between the top cover 8 and the outer shell 6.

[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, a plurality of toggle blocks 13 for toggle the top cover 8 to rotate are arranged in a circular array on the top of the top cover 8 .

[0043] In this solution, the toggle block 13 can increase the fulcrum when operating the top cover 8, so that the top cover 8 can be twisted or pulled better to disassemble or install the top cover 8.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
