Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acupuncture instrument technology, specifically a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture heating device. Background Technology
[0002] Acupuncture, guided by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, involves inserting needles (usually filiform needles) into the patient's body at specific angles, using techniques such as twisting and lifting to stimulate specific points on the body to treat diseases. The insertion points are called acupoints. Fire needling, in particular, uses a red-hot needle tip to quickly penetrate acupoints to treat diseases. It is mainly used to warm the meridians, promote blood circulation, dispel wind and cold. It is primarily used for conditions such as arthralgia, gastroptosis, stomach pain, diarrhea, dysentery, impotence, scrofula, urticaria, irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, infantile malnutrition, and conditions like flat warts and moles. Currently, when heating needles, alcohol is usually applied to a cotton swab and ignited before the needle is placed over a flame. This heating method makes it difficult to control the temperature. Furthermore, during combustion, the needle reacts with oxygen in the air, generating iron oxide on its surface. This iron oxide can easily remain inside the patient's body during acupuncture. Therefore, a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture heating device was designed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture heating device, comprising: a hollow outer shell 1 with an open top; a cover 2 rotatably connected to the front end of the outer shell 1; a controller 3 installed on the front left side of the inner shell 1; a slot circumferentially formed at the upper opening of the inner shell 1; a heating chamber 4 disposed on the right side of the inner shell 1; the upper outer side of the heating chamber 4 connected to the outer shell 1 via the slot; insertion holes 5 arranged in an array at the upper end of the heating chamber 4; the interior of the heating chamber 4 being hollow; and the insertion holes 5 passing through the heating chamber 4. The upper end extends into the hollow position inside the heating cavity 4. Heating coils 6 are arranged in an array inside the heating cavity 4. The heating coils 6 are opposite to the insertion hole 5. The heating coils 6 are electrically connected to the controller 3. A display screen is installed on the upper end of the controller 3. A temperature sensor is installed inside the controller 3. The temperature sensor's temperature sensing contact extends to the inside of one of the heating coils 6. A time relay 7 is provided inside the outer shell 1 and at the lower end of the heating cavity 4. The controller 3, the heating coils 6 and the time relay 7 are electrically connected.
[0025] When using this acupuncture and moxibustion heating device, place it beside the bed and insert the needles to be used into the insertion hole 5. Set the required heating temperature and interval in the controller 3, and then press the start button. The controller 3 will then activate the heating coil 6 to heat several needles. The heating temperature will be displayed on the monitor installed on the controller 3. The temperature sensor detects the temperature inside the heating coil. When the set temperature is reached, the time relay 7 will start timing. At this time, the user can remove the needles for acupuncture. When the time relay 7 reaches the set time, it will turn off the heating of the heating coil 6 to prevent the needles from melting due to overheating. To remove the needles again, simply repeat the above steps.
[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, a buzzer is installed inside the controller 3, and a status indicator light 21 is provided on the upper surface of the controller 3 and located on the left side of the display.
[0027] Analysis of the above structure shows that when the set temperature is reached, the status indicator light 21 will be turned on, and the buzzer will be activated to remind the user that it is ready for use.
[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, a cotton swab placement slot 22 is provided on the left side of the outer shell 1 and at the rear end of the controller 3, and an alcohol placement slot 23 is provided on the left side of the outer shell and at the rear end of the cotton swab placement slot 22.
[0029] Analysis of the above structure shows that the alcohol bottle and cotton swabs can be placed inside the cotton swab storage slot 22 and the alcohol storage slot 23 respectively, making it convenient to put in and take out.
[0030] like Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, the upper outer side of the insertion hole 5 is provided with an arc chamfer, and the diameter of the insertion hole 5 is larger than the diameter of the needle body and smaller than the diameter of the needle handle.
[0031] Analysis of the above structure shows that after the needle is inserted into the insertion hole 5, the needle will pass through the insertion hole 5, and the upper end will be stuck in the insertion hole 5 and will not fall down.
[0032] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, the heating coil 6 extends from the lower end of the hollow part inside the heating cavity 4 to the upper end of the hollow part.
[0033] Analysis of the above structure shows that the heating coil 6 extends from the lower end of the hollow part inside the heating chamber 4 to the upper end of the hollow part, so that the needle body will be heated after the needle is inserted into the insertion hole 5, regardless of its length.
[0034] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an implementation method in which heat insulation cotton is filled between the outer shell 1 and the heating cavity 4.
[0035] Analysis of the above structure shows that the heat insulation cotton filled between the outer shell 1 and the heating chamber 4 can reduce the heat leakage from the heating chamber 4.
[0036] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, the outer shell 1 and the lid 2 are made of plastic, and the heating cavity 4 is made of glass.
[0037] Analysis of the above structure shows that during the heating process, the internal temperature of the heating chamber 4 is relatively high. The use of glass material makes it less prone to melting or aging, ensuring stability and service life. The outer shell 1 and the lid 2 are made of plastic, which can act as a buffer when subjected to external impact, preventing damage to the internal heating chamber 4.
