[0002] Moxibustion is a moxibustion method in traditional Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion therapy. It uses moxibustion materials made of Artemisia argyi to generate moxibustion heat, stimulates body surface acupoints or specific parts, and adjusts the disordered human functions by stimulating the activities of meridian qi, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases.

[0003] Traditional moxibustion directly burns moxa floss and moxa leaves to smoke and roast human meridians and blood vessels, but improper control of the firepower may also scald the human body. In the prior art, there is a way of reverse-flow incense moxibustion. For example, a multifunctional reverse-flow incense moxibustion seat disclosed in a patent (Application No.: 201620794261X) includes a base provided with several ventilation holes and a cover body, combined with a fixing ring, which has the effect of uniform smoke emission and can cooperate with other traditional Chinese medicine materials for health care and treatment. However, the fixing ring for fixing the reverse-flow incense in this device is a hollow structure, and the burning ashes may fall from this position onto the skin; and there are many holes on the side of the cover body of this structure. If moxa floss is used for moxibustion, the function of the reverse-flow incense may not be achieved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a reverse-flow incense moxibustion device that can prevent the burning ashes of reverse-flow incense moxibustion from contacting the human skin and is suitable for reverse-flow incense moxibustion with products such as moxa floss or moxa sticks.

[0005] To solve the above technical problem, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0016] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the exemplary embodiments in the drawings. However, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein. These embodiments are provided herein to make the disclosure of the present application more complete and to fully convey the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0017] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "transverse", "longitudinal", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "upper", "lower", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application 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 thus should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of the present application.

[0018] In view of the defects in the prior art that the ash from the burning of the backflow incense moxibustion is likely to come into contact with the human skin, and the moxibustion tool is only suitable for placing a single moxibustion material. After careful analysis, the inventor found that the main reasons for the above problems are mainly that when performing acupoint moxibustion with a hand-held moxa stick or moxa floss, sometimes a scald is caused by an open flame falling on the skin, and sometimes a low-temperature scald is caused by the skin being in a relatively high temperature for a long time. For some existing backflow incense moxibustions, in order to facilitate the contact between the moxibustion smoke and the skin, there is no shielding at the position where the moxibustion smoke flows back. In this way, the ash after burning may also fall from the opening where the moxibustion smoke flows back and come into contact with the human skin, causing scalds. Secondly, the functions of the existing backflow incense moxibustion seats are relatively single, and moxibustion products include not only moxa sticks but also other products such as moxa floss. For example, the moxa stick used in the existing publicly disclosed patent forms a backflow by opening holes in the middle of the moxibustion stick. If moxa floss is placed and the holes for fixing the moxa stick on this structure are blocked, it may not be possible to achieve the backflow of the moxibustion smoke, and thus the backflow incense cannot be realized. Based on the above analysis, the inventor improved the structure for burning the moxibustion material.

[0019] As Figures 1-3 shown, in an embodiment of a backflow incense moxibustion device of the present application, the device includes a cage top assembly for placing the moxibustion material and a supporting assembly for receiving the ash. The cage top assembly includes a cage body 4. A number of hollow holes are opened on the cage body 4 to facilitate air circulation. A vertical backflow hole channel 7 is provided inside the cage body 4. The supporting assembly is arranged below the cage top assembly. The supporting assembly includes a bottom cylinder 2 with a hollow hole in the middle. Ventilation holes 22 are opened on the side surface of the bottom cylinder 2. A layer of gauze 8 is provided on the bottom surface of the bottom cylinder 2. Moxa floss can be placed between the cage body 4 and the backflow hole channel 7, and a moxa stick can be placed and fixed in the backflow hole channel 7 (the moxa stick has a hole in the middle). The bottom cylinder 2 can receive the ash to prevent it from coming into contact with the human skin and scalding the skin.

[0020] The cage body 4 is used to limit the movement of the moxa floss and at the same time ensure air circulation. In this embodiment, the cage body 4 is made of wire mesh and has a conical structure. An opening for placing the moxibustion material is provided at the bottom of the cage body 4. The wire mesh structure not only reduces the weight of the cage body 4 but also enables the moxa floss to complete heat dissipation relatively quickly after burning.

[0021] In order to facilitate the fixing of the backflow hole channel 7 inside the cage body 4, a number of connecting support rods 5 are welded to the side surfaces of the top and bottom of the backflow hole channel 7. The other ends of the connecting support rods 5 are welded to the inner wall of the cage body 4. In this way, the moxa floss can be stuffed between the cage body 4 and the backflow hole channel 7 and limited by the connecting support rods 5 to prevent it from falling out of the cage top assembly.

[0022] The reverse flow channel 7 is used to cause the moxa smoke generated by the burning of moxa wool to flow in reverse. Therefore, the reverse flow channel 7 is made of wire mesh. In this way, when the moxa wool burns, the moxa smoke can enter the reverse flow channel 7 through the mesh holes of the wire mesh. By isolating the hot air, the smoke is locked in the reverse flow channel 7 for cooling. The cooled particles are heavier than air and have no buoyancy of heat, so they will flow out through the bottom of the reverse flow channel 7.

[0023] A rectangular hole is opened on the side of the bottom cylinder 2, and a drawer-type sample box 3 is arranged in the rectangular hole. Chinese medicinal materials can be placed in the sample box 3. Through the edification of the moxa smoke with temperature, the medicinal effect of the Chinese medicinal materials is driven by the moxa smoke and comes into contact with the skin, improving the curative effect of moxibustion. A hole is opened at the bottom of the sample box 3 to facilitate the outflow of the liquid medicine for heating the traditional Chinese medicine.

[0024] In order to facilitate the disassembly and cleaning of the cage body 4 and the base, magnetic adsorption rings 6 that adsorb each other are respectively arranged at the bottom of the cage body 4 and the top of the bottom cylinder 2. As Figure 1 shown, the cage body 4 assembly is installed above the supporting assembly, and the two magnetic adsorption rings 6 adsorb each other, which can ensure the stable installation of the cage body 4 assembly and the supporting assembly. Secondly, after use, it can be disassembled through the magnetic adsorption ring 6, which is convenient for cleaning the internal ashes.

[0025] A flanging 21 is arranged at the bottom of the bottom cylinder 2, and a skin-friendly sticker is arranged at the bottom of the flanging 21, which is convenient for sticking and using, and can be used for various acupoints on the body, is not easy to fall off, and is easy to clean.

[0026] A cover body 1 supported by metal is sleeved outside the cage top assembly, which helps to isolate the air. For example, when the patient does not need moxibustion, only need to cover the iron lid to isolate the air and extinguish the moxa stick, which is convenient and safe.

[0027] The height of this device is about 8 - 10 cm, and the bottom diameter is about 5 - 7 cm.

[0028] Two symmetrical handles 23 are also arranged on the side wall of the bottom cylinder 2 to facilitate picking up this device without getting burned; in addition, in order to ensure the stability of the cover body 1 after covering the cover body 1, an arc-shaped buckle 24 is arranged on the side of the bottom cylinder 2, and a bayonet 11 is opened at the bottom edge of the cover body 1. After covering the cover body 1, the buckle 23 passes through the bayonet 11, and then the cover body 1 is rotated to stagger the bayonet 11 on the cover body 1 and the buckle 23, and then the buckle 23 can be used to fix the cover body 1.

[0029] During use, open the magnetic ring 6, cover the cover body 1, and stuff moxa wool into it from the conical bottom (if a hollow moxa stick is stuffed, it should be stuffed into the reverse flow channel 7). Note that the moxa wool should not be stuffed into the reverse flow channel 7 (keep it hollow). After stuffing the moxa wool, adsorb the cage top assembly on the top of the support assembly through the magnetic ring 6, open the iron lid, and directly ignite the moxa wool from the top of the cage body 4 with a conical wire mesh structure. The moxa smoke will flow downward through the hollow cylindrical reverse flow channel 7 to form reverse flow moxibustion. The reverse flowing moxa smoke seeps into the gauze after passing through the bottom cylinder 2. The gauze 8 can efficiently and environmentally collect the heat penetration force of the moxa smoke. The heated gauze 8 contacts the skin, which is equivalent to hot compress, avoiding the problem of uneven heat concentration in the traditional moxibustion method.

[0030] This device adopts a method of directly concentrating moxa smoke, reducing the impact of combustion products on the environment, and at the same time avoiding the operator from contacting harmful substances, improving the safety of use; this device can not only be used for direct moxibustion, but also ginger slices, garlic slices and other ingredients can be placed above the gauze for easy moxibustion with a cushion. Different herbs can be placed according to the constitutions of different patients, which has a certain degree of flexibility.

[0031] It should be understood that all the above embodiments are exemplary rather than restrictive. Under the concept of this application, various modifications or deformations made by those skilled in the art to the specific embodiments described above should be within the protection scope of this application.
