Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of moxibustion devices, in particular to a smokeless moxibustion device. Background Art
[0002] Among existing moxibustion therapies, there is a warm needle therapy, which is a method of preventing and treating diseases by adding a moxa stick to the end of the needle after acupuncture. After igniting it, the heat is transmitted to the body through the needle body. This method actually combines the dual effects of acupuncture and moxibustion, combining the local stimulation of acupuncture with the warming effect of moxibustion, and can simultaneously play the advantages of both. Acupuncture regulates qi and blood by stimulating acupuncture points, while moxibustion promotes qi and blood circulation through its warming effect. The two complement each other and enhance the therapeutic effect. The warming effect of moxibustion can penetrate into the muscle layer, warm the meridians, and dispel cold and dampness. This method is particularly suitable for cold-related diseases, internal dampness obstruction and other diseases.
[0003] However, the above operation still has some problems. Specifically, the above method requires higher operating skills and precision than simple acupuncture or moxibustion. After inserting the needle into the acupuncture point to a certain depth, the doctor needs to accurately place the moxa stick at the end of the needle handle and ensure that the acupuncture needle with the moxa stick can stand upright. Moreover, the moxa stick can easily fall off the acupuncture needle during the entire burning process, causing burns to the patient. This places high demands on the doctor's technical skills. Because the moxa stick generates high temperatures during the burning process, improper operation or sensitive skin may cause burns. In addition, the thick smoke produced during the burning moxa stick may damage the respiratory tract and collaterals if inhaled too much. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a smokeless moxibustion device, which can solve the problems of moxa stick burns, excessive moxa smoke and difficult operation.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the problem is:
[0006] A smokeless moxibustion device comprises: a moxibustion cover having a heating chamber with one side open to form an opening, wherein a heating module is arranged in the heating chamber; a tray, above which smokeless moxibustion tablets are placed, and the heating module faces the smokeless moxibustion tablets; an adjusting device, wherein one end of the adjusting device is movable outside the moxibustion cover, and the other end is inserted into the heating chamber and is detachably connected to the tray, and the adjusting device is used to adjust the height of the tray in the heating chamber; wherein a avoidance hole for avoiding acupuncture needles is provided in the center of the tray.
[0007] By adopting the above solution and using smokeless moxibustion tablets, there is no need to directly ignite the moxa sticks, which reduces the emission of moxa smoke, thereby greatly reducing the risk of high temperature directly contacting the skin and effectively avoiding the problem of burns. At the same time, the height of the tray can be easily adjusted through the adjustment device to control the distance between the smokeless moxibustion tablets and the skin, saving the operation process of inserting the moxa sticks into the back of the acupuncture needles and reducing the difficulty of operation. The acupuncture needles can still be used in combination with the avoidance holes to achieve the dual therapeutic effects of acupuncture and moxibustion.
[0008] Furthermore, the moxibustion cover includes a cylinder and a cover, and the cover and the cylinder are detachably connected.
[0009] By adopting the above solution, the cylinder not only provides a semi-enclosed environment for the moxibustion process, but also helps to concentrate and maintain the warm effect of moxibustion, so that the heat and medicinal effects can act more effectively on the acupuncture points of the human body. The cover is the top closed part of the moxibustion cover, which cooperates with the cylinder to form a complete moxibustion space, prevents heat from dissipating too quickly, helps to adjust the moxibustion environment, and improves user experience.
[0010] Furthermore, a first assembly step is provided at one end of the cylinder, and a second assembly step is provided on the cover body corresponding to the first assembly step, and the first assembly step is plugged into the second assembly step.
[0011] By adopting the above solution, a stable, reliable and easy-to-operate plug-in connection is achieved, and installation is convenient.
[0012] Furthermore, the cylinder is provided with an internal thread, and the cover is provided with an external thread, and the cylinder and the cover are threadedly connected.
[0013] By adopting the above solution, the threaded connection forms a tight connection between the cylinder body and the cover body through the tightening action of the thread, which is not easy to loosen or fall off.
[0014] Furthermore, the tray includes a supporting portion, the supporting portion includes an outer ring and an inner ring, a plurality of support rods are connected between the outer ring and the inner ring, and a plurality of hollow holes are formed between the support rods and the outer ring and the inner ring.
[0015] By adopting the above solution, a stable and breathable structure is formed, which can not only stably carry the smokeless moxibustion tablets, but also ensure the smooth progress of the moxibustion process.
[0016] Furthermore, the pallet further includes a connecting rod, and a plurality of the connecting rods are provided. The plurality of connecting rods are vertically arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the inner ring, and an end of the connecting rod is connected to the other end of the adjusting device.
[0017] By adopting the above solution, the height of the tray can be adjusted up and down as the adjusting device moves to adapt to different moxibustion needs and human body parts.
[0018] Furthermore, the adjustment device includes a rotating column at one end and a screw portion at the other end. A threaded hole is provided on the side of the moxibustion cover away from the opening, and the screw portion is threadedly connected to the threaded hole.
[0019] By adopting the above solution, the user can easily adjust the height of the internal components of the moxibustion cover through the cooperation of rotating the rotating column and the screw part.
[0020] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of the rotating column is larger than the area of the screw portion.
[0021] By adopting the above solution, the larger cross-sectional area provides a better grip and operational stability, allowing the user to more easily apply force and maintain a stable rotational motion when rotating the rotating column. At the same time, it can prevent the rotating column from entering the heating chamber from the threaded hole, thereby playing a limiting role.
[0022] Furthermore, the heating module includes a circuit board and a heating wire, and the circuit board is used to control the heating wire to heat the smokeless moxibustion sheet.
[0023] By adopting the above scheme, the circuit board can precisely control the heating process of the heating wire, thereby achieving effective heating of the smokeless moxibustion tablets and sufficient volatilization and release of mugwort components, thereby achieving an ideal health care effect.
[0024] Furthermore, a plurality of exhaust holes are circumferentially provided on the side wall of the moxibustion cover, and the exhaust holes are communicated with the heating chamber.
[0025] By adopting the above solution, the safety of the moxibustion process is improved, and the problem of temperature increase caused by excessive air pressure is avoided; the comfort of the moxibustion process is enhanced, and the internal temperature is kept constant through ventilation.
[0026] In summary, the smokeless moxibustion device provided by the present invention has the following technical effects:
[0027] 1. By using smokeless moxibustion tablets instead of traditional moxa sticks, direct contact of high temperature generated by direct combustion with the skin is avoided, thereby greatly reducing the risk of burns and improving the safety of the treatment process;
[0028] 2. The device is designed with an adjustment mechanism that allows for easy adjustment of the tray's height within the heating chamber, thereby controlling the distance between the smokeless moxibustion sheet and the skin. This design simplifies the traditional method of precisely placing the moxa stick on the back of the acupuncture needle and piercing the skin, reducing the skill requirements for the doctor and making the treatment process easier.
[0029] 3. Although it uses smokeless moxibustion tablets, the device still retains the possibility of being used in conjunction with acupuncture needles. The avoidance hole in the center of the tray ensures that the acupuncture needles can pass smoothly and act on the acupuncture points. In this way, the device retains the local stimulation of acupuncture and combines it with the warming effect of moxibustion. The two complement each other and can more effectively regulate qi and blood, warm the meridians, dispel cold and dampness, and improve the treatment effect.
[0030] 4. The use of smokeless moxibustion tablets reduces the generation of smoke and odor, making the treatment environment cleaner and more comfortable, which helps to improve the patient's treatment experience and satisfaction. The smokeless moxibustion tablets can be easily replaced after use, and components such as trays and moxibustion covers can also be cleaned and disinfected to ensure hygiene and safety for the next use.

The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0040] Example 1 of the present utility model is shown in FIG. Figures 1-4 As shown, a smokeless moxibustion device is disclosed, including a moxibustion cover 1, a tray 2 and an adjustment device 3. The moxibustion cover 1 has a heating chamber 11 with one side open to form an opening 16. A heating module 12 is provided in the heating chamber 11. Optionally, the heating module 12 includes a circuit board 121 and a heating wire 122. The circuit board 121 is used to control the heating wire 122 to heat the smokeless moxibustion sheet 4. The circuit board 121 includes a processor, a power supply and a control switch. The power supply is preferably an external power supply, and of course a built-in battery can also be used. With this arrangement, the heating process of the heating wire 122 can be precisely controlled by the circuit board 121, so that the smokeless moxibustion sheet 4 can be effectively heated and the mugwort components can be fully volatilized and released, thereby achieving an ideal health care effect.

[0041] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the internal maintenance and cleaning of the moxibustion cover 1, the moxibustion cover 1 is designed to be divided into two parts, including a cylinder 13 and a cover 14. The cover 14 is detachably connected to the cylinder 13. The cylinder 13 not only provides a semi-enclosed environment for the moxibustion process, but also helps to concentrate and maintain the thermal effect of moxibustion, so that the heat and medicinal effects can act more effectively on the acupuncture points of the human body. The cover 14 is the top closed part of the moxibustion cover 1, and cooperates with the cylinder 13 to form a complete moxibustion space, preventing heat from dissipating too quickly, helping to adjust the moxibustion environment, and improving user experience. Optionally, a first assembly step 131 is provided at one end of the cylinder 13, and a second assembly step 141 is provided on the cover 14 corresponding to the first assembly step 131. The first assembly step 131 is plugged into the second assembly step 141, realizing a stable, reliable and easy-to-operate plug-in connection, which is easy to install. Optionally, the cylinder 13 is provided with an internal thread, and the cover 14 is provided with an external thread. The cylinder 13 and the cover 14 are threadedly connected. The threaded connection forms a tight connection between the cylinder 13 and the cover 14 through the tightening action of the thread, which is not easy to loosen or fall off. In this embodiment 1, one end of the cylinder 13 is provided with a first assembly step 131, and the cover 14 is provided with a second assembly step 141 corresponding to the first assembly step 131. The first assembly step 131 is plugged into the second assembly step 141. At the same time, threads are provided on the contact surfaces of the first assembly step 131 and the second assembly step 141 for rotational insertion, thereby achieving a stable, reliable and tight connection.
[0042] In one embodiment, the tray 2 includes a supporting portion 21 and a connecting rod 22, the supporting portion 21 includes an outer ring 211 and an inner ring 212, a plurality of support rods 213 are connected between the outer ring 211 and the inner ring 212, and a plurality of hollow holes are formed between the support rods 213 and the outer ring 211 and the inner ring 212. Preferably, three support rods 213 are provided between the outer ring 211 and the inner ring 212, which can maximize the reduction of the weight of the tray 2 while meeting the effect of stable connection, facilitate the operation of the adjustment device 3, and form a structure that is both stable and breathable, which can not only stably carry the smokeless moxibustion tablets 4, but also ensure the smooth progress of the moxibustion process. There are multiple connecting rods 22, preferably, there are three connecting rods 22, and the multiple connecting rods 22 are vertically arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the inner ring 212, and the ends of the connecting rods 22 are connected to the other end of the adjustment device 3. The other end of the adjusting device 3 is preferably snap-fitted to the end of the connecting rod 22. In this embodiment 1, a rubber plug 223 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 22, and a plug hole is provided at the other end of the adjusting device 3. The rubber plug 223 is interference-fitted with the plug hole, thereby achieving the connection and fixation between the adjusting device 3 and the connecting rod 22. Optionally, the connecting rods 22 and the support rods 213 are arranged alternately. In other embodiments, the connecting rods 22 can also be vertically connected to each connecting rod 22. The connection of the connecting rods 22 allows the height of the tray 2 to be adjusted up and down as the adjusting device 3 moves, so as to adapt to different moxibustion needs and human body parts.
[0043] In one embodiment, the adjusting device 3 includes a rotating column 31 at one end and a screw portion 32 at the other end. A threaded hole 17 is provided on the side of the moxibustion cover 1 away from the opening 16. The screw portion 32 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 17. By rotating the rotating column 31 and the screw portion 32, the user can easily adjust the height of the internal components of the moxibustion cover 1. It should be noted that the cross-sectional area of the rotating column 31 is larger than the area of the screw portion 32. With this arrangement, the larger cross-sectional area provides a better grip and operational stability, so that the user can more easily apply force and maintain a stable rotation when rotating the rotating column 31, and at the same time prevent the rotating column 31 from entering the heating chamber 11 from the threaded hole 17, thereby playing a limiting role.
[0044] In some embodiments, in order to prevent the user from slipping when operating the rotating column 31 , anti-slip grooves may be provided on the side surface of the rotating column 31 .
[0045] In some embodiments, in order to improve the safety of moxibustion, a plurality of exhaust holes 15 are provided on the circumference of the side wall of the moxibustion cover 1, and the exhaust holes 15 are connected to the heating chamber 11 to avoid the problem of temperature increase due to excessive air pressure; the comfort of the moxibustion process is enhanced, and the internal temperature is kept constant through ventilation.
[0046] It should be noted that in order to avoid the problem of scalding the patient due to heat conduction through the cylinder 13 during the heating process of the heating module 12, it is necessary to limit the material of the cylinder 13 and use a material with slow heat conduction or no heat conduction, preferably wood. Of course, a non-heat-conducting material, such as rubber, can also be set in the part of the cylinder 13 that contacts the patient to achieve a further heat-insulating effect.
[0047] When in use, the cylinder 13 and the cover 14 are separated, and the smokeless moxibustion tablets 4 are placed on the tray 2. Then the doctor will operate the acupuncture needle 5 according to the patient's acupuncture points, for example, the waist, and then align the cylinder 13 with the waist so that the acupuncture needle 5 is located in the center of the cylinder 13. At this time, the cover 14 is connected to the cylinder 13, and the power is turned on. The heating wire 122 starts to heat up, the temperature of the heating chamber 11 rises, and the smokeless moxibustion tablets 4 gradually take effect and heat the needle body to achieve the therapeutic effect.
[0048] In summary, the smokeless moxibustion device provided by the present invention has the following technical effects:
[0049] 1. By using smokeless moxibustion tablets 4 instead of traditional moxa sticks, direct contact of high temperature generated by direct combustion with the skin is avoided, thereby greatly reducing the risk of burns and improving the safety of the treatment process;
[0050] 2. The device features an adjustment mechanism 3 that allows for easy adjustment of the height of the tray 2 within the heating chamber 11, thereby controlling the distance between the smokeless moxibustion sheet 4 and the skin. This design simplifies the traditional procedure of precisely placing the moxa stick on the back of the acupuncture needle 5 and piercing the skin, reducing the skill required of the practitioner and making the treatment process more convenient and easy.
[0051] 3. Although smokeless moxibustion tablets 4 are used, the device still retains the possibility of being used in conjunction with acupuncture needles 5. The avoidance hole in the center of the tray 2 ensures that the acupuncture needles 5 can pass smoothly and act on the acupuncture points. In this way, the device retains the local stimulation effect of acupuncture and combines it with the warming effect of moxibustion. The two complement each other and can more effectively regulate qi and blood, warm the meridians, dispel cold and dampness, and enhance the therapeutic effect.
[0052] 4. The use of smokeless moxibustion tablets 4 reduces the generation of smoke and odor, making the treatment environment cleaner and more comfortable, which helps to improve the patient's treatment experience and satisfaction. The smokeless moxibustion tablets 4 can be easily replaced after use, and components such as the tray 2 and moxibustion cover 1 can also be cleaned and disinfected to ensure hygiene and safety for next use.
[0053] The technical means disclosed in the present invention are not limited to those disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above-mentioned technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
