Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of moxibustion therapy, in particular to a smokeless moxibustion instrument. Background Art

[0002] Medicated thread moxibustion is a traditional Zhuang folk remedy. It involves treating specific acupuncture points or areas on the patient's body surface with ramie thread, which is then ignited after being prepared with traditional Chinese medicine. To achieve the desired effect, the exposed end of the thread is ignited over an alcohol lamp, aimed at the acupuncture point, and the thumb is pressed against the ignited end to extinguish it.

[0003] For example, publication number CN107865768A proposes a Zhuangzi medicinal thread moxibustion pen that achieves downward movement of the pen core. However, during moxibustion, the medicinal thread still requires frequent ignition using a kerosene lamp or alcohol lamp. In practical application, this technical solution requires frequent ignition, resulting in a short-lived warming effect at the acupoints and poor therapeutic efficacy. Furthermore, the ignition and combustion produce smoke, which can affect indoor air quality in relatively enclosed spaces such as traditional Chinese medicine treatment rooms.

[0004] In view of this, the inventor has invented a moxibustion device which is smokeless, has no open flame and can perform multiple continuous moxibustion operations. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the inventors have come up with the technical solution of the present invention through practice and summary. The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A smokeless moxibustion instrument comprises a main body, on which a warming device and a skin contact body are sequentially mounted from top to bottom;

[0007] The warmer is a ring-shaped structure, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the warmer for the medicine strip to pass through;

[0008] The skin contact body is provided with a hollow area into which the medicine strip extends. The skin contact body contacts the periphery of the acupuncture point, and the medicine body contacts the skin of the acupuncture point in the hollow area.

[0009] As a further improved solution, an operating structure is provided on the main body, and moxibustion is performed through the operating structure. An insulating block is provided between the operating structure and the warming device.

[0010] As a further improved solution, the axis of the hollow area and the axis of the temperature booster are located on the same axis.

[0011] As a further improved solution, the bottom of the temperature booster extends to the inside of the hollow area, and the hollow area has a structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom.

[0012] As a further improved solution, the coverage center of the warmer is located in the middle of the medicine strip, and the warmer covers a range of one third to two thirds of the medicine strip.

[0013] As a further improved solution, the distance between the inner wall of the warmer and the outer wall of the medicine strip is 1-3 mm.

[0014] As a further improved solution, the temperature riser is a ceramic heating element, a resistance wire heating element, or an infrared heating element.

[0015] As a further improved solution, a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor are installed on the skin contact body, the end of the temperature sensor extends into the hollow area, and the pressure sensor is installed at the bottom of the skin contact body.

[0016] As a further improved solution, a power supply and a control circuit board are provided inside the main body. The power supply and the control circuit board, the heater, the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor are electrically connected. The control circuit board is provided with a temperature operation panel, a power switch and a charging port.

[0017] As a further improved solution, a silicone pad is provided at the bottom of the skin contact body. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The temperature of the medicine strip is uniformly raised around the circumference by a warmer, and the temperature range is 50-65°C. This temperature can stimulate the active components inside the medicine body and is also used to coordinate with the temperature of the end of the medicine body to achieve acupuncture points. Because the center of the warmer is located in the middle of the medicine strip and covers a range of one-third to two-thirds of the medicine strip, it can take into account the effective function of the active components inside the medicine strip. At the same time, by strictly controlling the distance between the inner wall of the warmer and the outer wall of the medicine strip, the active components inside the medicine body can be effectively stimulated. The end of the medicine strip is also detected by temperature sensing, and the temperature of the medicine strip raised by the warmer is controlled to avoid burning the skin at the acupuncture points.

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0027] Example 1, as Figure 1 、 2 As shown in FIG3 , a smokeless moxibustion instrument comprises a main body 10 , on which a warming device 11 and a skin contact body 12 are sequentially mounted from top to bottom;

[0028] The warmer 11 is an annular structure, and a through-hole is provided in the middle of the warmer 11 for the medicine strip 20 to pass through; the warmer 11 is a ceramic heater, a resistance wire heater, or an infrared heater. The axis of the medicine strip 20 is coaxially arranged with the warmer 11, and the medicine strip 20 is uniformly heated circumferentially by the warmer 11, thereby heating the medicine strip 20 to 50-65°C, and the medicinal components inside are stimulated. This solution only limits the relative position of the warmer 11 and the medicine strip 20. The installation position of the medicine strip 20 can be on the main body 1 above the warmer 11, that is, the installation position of the medicine strip 20 is provided in the main body 1, such as an elastic clip that circumferentially clamps the medicine strip 20 (a traditional structure for installing medicine strips, not shown in the figure).

[0029] The skin contact body 12 is provided with a hollow area 15 into which the medicine strip 20 extends. The skin contact body 12 contacts the periphery of the acupoint, and the medicine strip 20 contacts the skin at the acupoint within the hollow area 15. A silicone pad 121 is provided at the bottom of the skin contact body 12. The medicine strip 20 is inserted into the hollow area 15 and performs a moxibustion on the skin at the bottom of the skin contact body 12 where the acupoint is contacted. The moxibustion process transfers the medicinal effect and heat from the heated medicine strip 20 to the skin at the acupoint.

[0030] Example 2, based on the above example, is as follows: the axis of the hollow area 15 and the axis of the temperature riser 11 are located on the same axis, the bottom of the temperature riser 11 extends to the inside of the hollow area 15, and the hollow area 15 is a structure with a small top and a large bottom, such as Figure 4 As shown, through the special structure of the hollow area 15, the hollow area 15 can wrap the leaking medicine strip 20 to prevent excessive contact with the external air, thereby maintaining the heat and medicinal components of the medicine strip 20. At the same time, due to the constriction setting at the top, it can ensure the storage of heat during moxibustion therapy and prevent heat overflow, which can be understood as a heat preservation effect to a certain extent.

[0031] Example 3, as Figure 1 、 2 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the following is made: the main body 10 is provided with an operating structure 13, through which moxibustion is performed, and a heat insulation block 14 is provided between the operating structure 13 and the temperature riser 11. The operating structure 13 enables continuous moxibustion operation, and the heat insulation block 14 prevents the operating structure 13 from being damaged by the temperature riser 11.

[0032] Example 4, based on the above example, is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the center of the warmer 11 is located in the middle of the medicine strip 20, and the warmer 11 covers one-third to two-thirds of the medicine strip 20. The distance between the inner wall of the warmer 11 and the outer wall of the medicine strip 20 is 1-3 mm. By strictly controlling the distance, the medicine strip 20 can be evenly heated around the circumference. By locating the center of the warmer 11 in the middle of the medicine strip 20 and covering one-third to two-thirds of the medicine strip 20, the effective function of the active ingredients in the medicine strip 20 can be guaranteed.

[0033] Example 5, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, based on the above embodiment, the following is made: a temperature sensor 16 and a pressure sensor 17 are mounted on the skin contact body 12. The end of the temperature sensor 16 extends into the hollow area 15, and the pressure sensor 17 is mounted on the bottom of the skin contact body 12. The main body 10 is equipped with a power supply 101 and a control circuit board 102. The power supply 101 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 102, the temperature booster 11, the temperature sensor 16, and the pressure sensor 17. The control circuit board 102 is equipped with a temperature control panel 103, a power switch 104, and a charging port 105. The power supply 101, the control circuit board 102, the temperature booster 11, the temperature sensor 16, the pressure sensor 17, the temperature control panel 103, the power switch 104, and the charging port 105 are all commercially available, mature components. The inventors only used them to achieve intelligent control and human-computer interaction. The control logic and positional relationships were conventionally adapted, and no structural improvements were made.

[0034] The temperature sensor 16 detects the end of the medicine strip 20 and controls the warming device 11 to increase the temperature of the medicine strip 20 to avoid burning the skin at the acupuncture points. At the same time, the pressure sensor 17 can accurately control the moxibustion pressure. The temperature sensor 16 can be adjusted by adding or subtracting the temperature on the temperature operation panel 103, thereby adjusting the heating temperature of the warming device 11.

[0035] In smokeless moxibustion therapy devices, such as Figure 5 As shown, an air pump 30 and a storage chamber 40 can also be added. The storage chamber 40 is located at the top of the warmer 11 and is connected to the gap between the warmer 11 and the medicine strip 20. Since some of the medicinal components of the medicine strip 20 will overflow after heating, a storage chamber 40 is designed to store some of the medicinal components that overflow from the heated medicine strip 20. The air outlet of the air pump 30 is connected to the top of the storage chamber 40. The air pump 30 pressurizes the interior of the storage chamber 40 to discharge the medicinal components. In conjunction with the direct moxibustion operation after the medicine strip 20 is heated, the medicinal components inside the medicine strip 20 can be greatly utilized. Of course, by adding the air pump 30 and the storage chamber 40, the temperature of the warmer 11 can reach 60-70°C, which can be used for patients with slightly more severe symptoms. Of course, this temperature also stimulates the medicinal components, but unlike the above focus, this temperature focuses more on the overflow of gas and the absorption of medicinal effects during moxibustion.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. The replacements described may be partial structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Any equivalent replacements or modifications based on the technical solution and the concept of the present invention shall be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
