Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of moxibustion devices, specifically relating to a rotating moxa stick clamp for thunder-fire moxibustion. Background Technology

[0002] Chronic pelvic pain is extremely common in gynecology, severely impairing the quality of life of female patients and encompassing various aspects such as limited daily activities, psychological damage, and hindered social interaction. Western medicine often uses antibiotics as the core treatment, but in dealing with this complex condition, due to the multiple pathogenic mechanisms (such as inflammation, adhesions, neuropathy, and myofascial dysfunction), it is difficult to achieve ideal therapeutic effects and meet the urgent clinical need for radical cure and pain relief.

[0003] Against this backdrop, the advantages of external treatments in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are becoming increasingly apparent. Lei Huo Moxibustion, a key branch of TCM moxibustion therapy, originates from ancient medical texts. In the treatment of chronic pelvic pain, it utilizes the combined effects of the medicinal properties released by the burning moxa stick, heat radiation, and infrared radiation to target the lesion and adjacent acupoints, stimulating the flow of Qi and blood in the meridians, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, relieving pain, and reducing inflammation and swelling. However, current clinical methods of applying Lei Huo Moxibustion have shortcomings. Medical staff often place the moxa stick in a constant-temperature device and hold it suspended at the acupoint. This method restricts personal freedom, causes arm fatigue, and affects the stability and effectiveness of the treatment. Although various clamping supports are available on the market to replace handheld application, they generally lack flexibility, allowing only fixed-point moxibustion and not rotary moxibustion. This leads to local overheating, causing tissue thermal damage and inflammatory stress, insufficient heat and medicinal power in key areas, hindering meridian conduction and Qi and blood nourishment, and weakening the core efficacy of Lei Huo Moxibustion in improving circulation, clearing metabolic waste, and dissolving inflammatory mediators.

[0004] Given the above situation, designing a flexible and practical rotating moxibustion stick holder is of great significance. It can ensure that heat and medicinal properties are applied precisely and evenly to acupoints and surrounding tissues, reshaping the value of Lei Huo Moxibustion in the treatment of chronic pelvic pain, improving clinical efficacy and patient prognosis, and powerfully promoting the innovative development of traditional Chinese medicine external therapies in the treatment system of chronic diseases, becoming a core issue in solving existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a rotating moxa stick holder for Lei Huo Moxibustion, which aims to overcome the defects of existing Lei Huo Moxibustion treatment devices and improve the efficacy of Lei Huo Moxibustion in the treatment of chronic pelvic pain and other suitable conditions.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a rotary moxa stick holder for thunder-fire moxibustion, comprising two parts: a moxa stick clamp and a support system.

[0012] As a further supplement to the above technical solution, a tray is installed on the telescopic support rod via a pipe clamp.

[0013] As a further supplement to the above technical solution, a smoke collection hood is rotatably installed on the folding arm. The smoke collection hood covers the moxibustion stick clamp by rotation. The smoke collection hood is connected to the smoke pipe through a flexible hose. The flexible hose is fixed to the telescopic support rod and the folding arm by a pipe clamp. The smoke pipe is connected to the inlet of the fan. The outlet of the fan is connected to the smoke absorption box through a smoke exhaust pipe. The smoke exhaust pipe extends to the bottom of the internal space of the smoke absorption box. A water injection pipe and a drain pipe are respectively installed on the smoke absorption box. A water injection plug and a drain plug are respectively installed on the water injection pipe and the drain pipe.

[0014] As a further explanation and limitation of the above technical solution, the base includes a base plate and an outer shell. Universal wheels are respectively provided at the four corners of the bottom of the base plate. The flue gas absorption box is fixed on the base plate. The fan is fixed on the fixed seat. The fixed seat is fixed on the base plate by a support frame. The outer shell is provided with a support rod insertion hole, a water injection hole, a flue gas hole and a drainage hole.

[0015] As a further explanation of the above technical solution, an ash collection box is fixed below the moxa stick clamp by a connecting strip for collecting the ash that falls off when the moxa stick burns.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. This utility model, through innovative structural design, mounts the moxa stick clip onto a system consisting of a rotating arm and a hanging arm driven by an electric actuator, and cleverly integrates it with various support systems (flexible rod support, cantilever support, folding support). Medical personnel can easily manipulate the moxa stick for moxibustion using the stable rotational power provided by the electric actuator, eliminating the need for continuous manual maintenance of position and pressure, significantly reducing workload, completely freeing them from the constraints of handheld moxibustion, greatly improving operational convenience and flexibility, and providing strong support for long-term, high-quality Lei Huo Moxibustion treatment.

[0018] 2. The rotating design of this utility model enables the moxibustion stick to make uniform circular motion around the acupoint and surrounding area, ensuring that the heat and medicinal power are evenly and accurately covered in the treatment area, successfully avoiding the risk of local overheating, and deeply activating the meridian conduction and qi and blood nourishment mechanism.

[0019] 3. This utility model, through its carefully designed adjustment holes, connecting holes, and matching bolts and plug-in rods on the rotating arm and hanging arm, allows for flexible and precise adjustment of the moxibustion area and distance based on individual patient differences (such as body type, acupoint sensitivity, and disease severity) and treatment stage requirements. Medical staff can optimize the relative positional relationship between the moxa stick and acupoints as needed, achieving highly personalized customized Lei Huo Moxibustion treatment plans. This ensures the treatment process closely aligns with the patient's unique physiological and pathological characteristics, maximizing the advantages of Lei Huo Moxibustion in treating multiple diseases, significantly improving the targeting and effectiveness of treatment plans, and promoting personalized patient recovery.

[0020] 4. This utility model ingeniously integrates a smoke hood, fan, smoke absorption box, and supporting pipelines and control components into a highly efficient smoke purification system. The smoke hood tightly collects the smoke, which is then powerfully drawn into the smoke absorption box by the fan. After water injection for sedimentation and drainage for cleaning and circulation, the concentration of smoke and harmful components in the air is significantly reduced, creating a fresh and comfortable treatment environment and effectively protecting the respiratory health of both medical staff and patients. Simultaneously, a secure ash collection box is installed below the moxa stick holder to tightly collect the ash that falls from the burning moxa stick, eliminating the risk of burns and environmental pollution from falling ash. This comprehensively improves treatment safety and environmental cleanliness, ensuring that the Lei Huo Moxibustion treatment process is safe, orderly, and environmentally friendly.

[0030] To further illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, the following description is in conjunction with the appendix. Figures 1 to 6 The present invention will be further illustrated through five embodiments.

[0031] Existing moxa stick holders on the market consist of two parts: a moxa stick clamp 1 and a support system. The moxa stick clamp 1 is used to hold or place moxa sticks. A collection box 5 can also be fixed below the moxa stick clamp 1 via a connecting strip to collect the ash that falls from the burning moxa sticks. Currently, moxa stick holders sold on the market can be broadly classified into three types based on their support systems: The first type is a flexible rod support, which can be referenced in a moxa stick auxiliary device (publication number: CN207055653 U). This type of flexible rod support utilizes the bendability of the flexible rod to achieve fixation at any position and angle, including tabletop, clamp, and floor-standing styles. The second type is a cantilever support, which can be referenced in a multifunctional suspended moxibustion device (publication number: CN119097550A) or an acupuncture moxa stick fixator (CN 221770807 U). The third type is a foldable bracket, which can refer to a moxibustion therapy device, system and method (publication number: CN115350089A) or a moxa stick anti-scalding device and an automated moxibustion instrument (publication number: CN 221932556 U) or an anti-scalding device for a handheld moxa stick moxibustion seat (publication number: CN 201510504U). Example 1

[0032] As attached Figure 1 and 2As shown, based on the various support systems and existing moxa stick clips described above, a rotary moxa stick clip support for thunder-fire moxibustion mainly includes an electric driver 4, comprising a housing 401 and a cover plate 402, which are connected by bolts 404. A motor 403 is installed inside the housing 401, and a rotating arm 3 is installed on the output shaft of the motor 403. A hanging arm 2 is installed on the rotating arm 3. A threaded support 405 is provided on the cover plate 402, and a fixing knob 406 is threadedly connected to the threaded support 405. The fixing knob 406 can be flexibly adapted to any one of a flexible rod support, a cantilever support, or a folding support, thereby providing stable rotational power for the moxa stick clip 1 and ensuring that the moxa stick can act accurately and evenly on the acupoints and surrounding tissues during thunder-fire moxibustion treatment. Example 2

The smoke absorption box 20 is fixed on the base plate 901. The fan 22 is fixed on the fixing seat 21. The fixing seat 21 is fixed on the base plate 901 by a support frame 19. The smoke exhaust pipe 23 extends to the bottom of the internal space of the smoke absorption box 20 to ensure that the smoke is fully settled and purified. A water injection pipe 2001 and a drain pipe 2002 are respectively installed on the flue gas absorption box 20. A water injection plug 2003 and a drain plug 2004 are respectively installed on the water injection pipe 2001 and the drain pipe 2002. At the same time, a water injection hole 904, a flue gas hole 905 and a drain hole 906 are correspondingly opened on the outer shell 902, which together form a complete smoke exhaust purification and circulation system, effectively improving the air quality of the treatment environment and protecting the health of medical staff and patients. Example 5

[0037] To improve the convenience and efficiency of Lei Huo Moxibustion treatment, a tray 17 is cleverly installed on the telescopic support rod 10 using a pipe clamp 18. This tray can properly hold essential items for Lei Huo Moxibustion, such as ignition tools, fire extinguishers, and moxibustion sticks, making them readily available to medical staff. This ensures a compact and efficient treatment process, reduces operational delays and item search time, and optimizes the overall treatment experience.
