Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a device for making moxa sticks and the moxa sticks for making fire dragon moxibustion. Background Technology

[0002] Fire Dragon Moxibustion, also known as Du Moxibustion, Long Snake Moxibustion, Du Meridian Moxibustion, or Du Meridian Moxibustion, is a traditional folk moxibustion method. It is a type of moxibustion therapy developed based on ginger moxibustion and medicated moxibustion. It mainly involves applying medicine, ginger, or garlic along the Du Meridian or the first and second lateral lines of the Bladder Meridian between the Dazhui (GV14) and Yaoshu (BL25) acupoints on the spine. Then, moxa cones are placed on top of the ginger or garlic and ignited. Du Moxibustion covers a wide area, generates strong heat, and provides a stimulation intensity that surpasses that of ordinary moxibustion methods. The powerful warm stimulation combined with the chemical effects of the medicine regulates the Yang Qi of the whole body and the back acupoints of the five internal organs through the Du Meridian and the Bladder Meridian. This achieves the purpose of warming the meridians and dispelling cold, supporting Yang and consolidating the body, eliminating blood stasis and dissipating nodules, and preventing and maintaining health, thus expanding the scope of moxibustion therapy. It is now widely used in clinical practice and is often used for ankylosing spondylitis, lumbar disc herniation, chronic diarrhea, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, dysmenorrhea, general debility and other deficiency-cold syndromes. Its efficacy far exceeds that of general moxibustion.

[0003] When applying moxibustion to the back, medical staff typically use triangular prism-shaped moxa sticks to improve the burning time and utilization rate, usually three sticks per application. Existing techniques include chopping mugwort, mixing it with water, kneading it into triangular prisms, and letting it dry to form moxa sticks. Clinically, medical staff may also manually knead moxa sticks using moxa wool, but this is time-consuming and produces sticks of uneven thickness and looseness, leading to uneven heat during moxibustion. Furthermore, when using alcohol to burn the moxa, the uneven size of the sticks can leave gaps, allowing alcohol to leak into the underlying padding and cause burns to the patient. Additionally, some methods use molds, such as the one described in publication CN112156003A, "A Multi-Specification Long Snake Moxibustion Device."

[0004] However, regardless of how the moxa sticks are made using current technology, they are all made individually. Since three moxa sticks are needed for each moxibustion session, medical staff must place each of the three sticks on the moxibustion area one by one. During this process, the moxa sticks are very prone to falling apart. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a tool for making moxa sticks, which integrates the functions of making, preserving and applying moxibustion.

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, the moxa stick making tool includes:

[0007] A molding die has multiple V-shaped chambers, each of which has a feed inlet. All the V-shaped chambers are connected in sequence to form at least one W-shaped structure. A pressure plate is connected to the tip of each V-shaped chamber. The width of the pressure plate is less than the maximum inner width of the V-shaped chamber, and the length of the pressure plate is not greater than the inner length of the V-shaped chamber.

[0008] A cover plate that covers all the inlets of the forming mold, the cover plate having a stop handle on its wide side facing the forming mold.

[0009] The moxa cone making device according to the embodiments of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: During production, medical personnel take an appropriate amount of moxa wool and fill it into the V-shaped cavities of multiple molding molds. Then, the multiple molding molds are stacked one on top of the other, with all the pressure plates on the upper layer extending into all the V-shaped cavities on the lower layer, while all the pressure plates on the bottom layer are supported on a horizontal surface. The medical personnel cover the top molding mold with a cover plate and press the cover plate down forcefully. The moxa wool in some of the V-shaped cavities is compacted under the action of the corresponding pressure plates to form a moxa cone for moxibustion. After this, the positions of the top and bottom molding molds are reversed, and the above compaction steps are repeated so that the moxa wool in all the V-shaped cavities can be compacted into a moxa cone for moxibustion and stored accordingly, which can save a lot of space. During moxibustion, any molding mold can be taken... The tool is then covered with a cover plate, and the entire assembly is inverted to allow the moxa sticks inside the mold to fall onto the cover plate. Medical personnel remove the mold and tilt the cover plate towards the handle, allowing all the moxa sticks on the cover plate to slide down the slope until they are blocked by the handle, narrowing the distance between adjacent moxa sticks and preventing them from falling during transfer. Finally, the cover plate is tilted away from the handle again, allowing all the moxa sticks on the cover plate to slide down the slope into the moxibustion area, minimizing the possibility of the moxa sticks falling apart. Compared to existing technologies, this moxa stick making tool can produce multiple moxa sticks simultaneously and integrates the functions of production, preservation, and moxibustion, demonstrating significant clinical efficacy.

[0010] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the side of the molding die adjacent to the baffle handle is a first outer side, and the baffle handle is provided with a baffle parallel to the first outer side. This arrangement allows the moxa stick to fit more closely to the baffle when sliding down the slope, preventing the sharp edges on the baffle from damaging the overall structure of the moxa stick.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in order to realize the stacking of multiple molding dies, each of the V-shaped cavities is provided with a clearance structure for stacking.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, the bottom of each of the V-shaped chambers is provided with the avoidance structure.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, the top of each of the V-shaped chambers is provided with the avoidance structure.

[0014] According to some embodiments of this utility model, since three moxa sticks are needed for each moxibustion session, the molding mold is provided with three V-shaped chambers to facilitate subsequent moxibustion.

[0015] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the dimensional parameters of all V-shaped chambers are kept consistent to ensure that all moxibustion sticks have the same size specifications.

[0016] According to some embodiments of this utility model, when the cross-sectional shape of the moxa stick is an equilateral triangle, its overall structure will be more stable and compact. Therefore, the inner cross-sectional shape of each V-shaped chamber is an equilateral triangle. According to the principle of similar triangles, regardless of the ratio between the width of the pressure plate and the maximum inner width of the V-shaped chamber, the cross-sectional shape of each manufactured moxa stick is also an equilateral triangle.

[0017] According to some embodiments of the present invention, preferably, the width of the pressure plate accounts for 70% to 90% of the maximum inner width of the V-shaped cavity.

[0018] According to a second aspect of the present invention, the moxa stick for fire dragon moxibustion is made using at least two of the above-mentioned moxa stick making tools.

[0019] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the directional or positional relationship based on the directional or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, "several" means one or more, "multiple" means two or more, "greater than," "less than," and "exceeding" are understood to exclude the stated number, while "above," "below," and "within" are understood to include the stated number. If "first" or "second" is used in the description, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the moxa stick making device according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a forming mold 100 and a cover plate 200. The forming mold 100 is welded from multiple metal plates and has multiple V-shaped chambers 300. The dimensional parameters of all V-shaped chambers 300 are consistent. Each V-shaped chamber 300 is provided with an inlet 310. The width of the inlet 310 is the maximum inner width of the V-shaped chamber 300. The inner width of the V-shaped chamber 300 gradually decreases with the inlet 310 as a reference. The width of the inlet 310 is the inner length of the V-shaped chamber 300.

[0032] All V-shaped chambers 300 are sequentially connected to form at least one W-shaped structure, at which point all inlets 310 have the same orientation. If there are two V-shaped chambers 300, then the molding die 100 has one W-shaped structure; if there are three V-shaped chambers 300, then the molding die 100 has two W-shaped structures with overlapping portions; if there are four V-shaped chambers 300, then the molding die 100 has three W-shaped structures with overlapping portions, and so on.

[0033] Furthermore, a pressure plate 320 is connected to the tip of each V-shaped cavity 300. The pressure plate 320 is located in the V-shaped cavity 300 away from the feed inlet 310. The width of the pressure plate 320 is less than the maximum inner width of the V-shaped cavity 300. In this embodiment, the width of the pressure plate 320 accounts for 70% to 90% of the maximum inner width of the V-shaped cavity 300, preferably 80%. The length of the pressure plate 320 is not greater than the inner length of the V-shaped cavity 300, to ensure that the pressure plate 320 of one molding die 100 can extend into the V-shaped cavity 300 of another molding die 100. Of course, to avoid interference when multiple molding dies 100 are stacked, each V-shaped cavity 300 is provided with a stacking clearance structure.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, this is an embodiment of the moxa cone making tool. Each V-shaped chamber 300 has a relief structure at its bottom, specifically a recessed structure 331. The relief structure ensures that the length of the bottom of the V-shaped chamber 300 is less than the length of its top. When the V-shaped chamber 300 of one molding die 100 extends into the V-shaped chamber 300 of another molding die 100, the bottom length of the upper V-shaped chamber 300 is less than that of the lower V-shaped chamber 300, allowing the two V-shaped chambers 300 to be stacked vertically. Furthermore, since the width of the pressure plate 320 accounts for 70% to 90% of the maximum inner width of the V-shaped chamber 300, the stacking of the two V-shaped chambers 300 is relatively shallow, and the depth of the relief structure in each V-shaped chamber 300 is also relatively small.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, this is a second embodiment of the moxa cone making tool. Each V-shaped chamber 300 has a clearance structure at its top, specifically a hole structure 332. The clearance structure ensures sufficient clearance space at the top of the V-shaped chamber 300. When the V-shaped chamber 300 of one molding die 100 extends into the V-shaped chamber 300 of another molding die 100, the two V-shaped chambers 300 can be arranged in a stacked manner because the lower V-shaped chamber 300 has sufficient clearance space at its top. Furthermore, since the width of the pressure plate 320 accounts for 70% to 90% of the maximum inner width of the V-shaped chamber 300, the stacking of the two V-shaped chambers 300 is relatively shallow, and the depth of the clearance structure in each V-shaped chamber 300 is also relatively small.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cover plate 200 can be a metal component. The size of the cover plate 200 is larger than the size of the forming mold 100. The cover plate 200 covers the end of the forming mold 100 away from the pressure plate 320. At this time, the cover plate 200 covers all the inlets 310 of the forming mold 100. A material-stopping handle 210 is provided on the wide side of the cover plate 200 facing the forming mold 100. In addition to facilitating the transfer of the cover plate 200 by medical personnel, the material-stopping handle 210 also serves to stop the material.

[0037] Using the above structure, when making the moxa cone 400, medical staff take an appropriate amount of moxa wool and fill it into the V-shaped chambers 300 of multiple molding molds 100. Then, the multiple molding molds 100 are stacked one on top of the other, with all the pressure plates 320 on the upper layer extending into all the V-shaped chambers 300 on the lower layer, while all the pressure plates 320 on the bottom layer are supported on a horizontal surface. The medical staff cover the top molding mold 100 with a cover plate 200 and press the cover plate 200 downwards. Some of the moxa wool in the V-shaped chambers 300 is compacted under the action of the corresponding pressure plates 320 to form the moxa cone 400. After that, the positions of the top molding mold 100 and the bottom molding mold 100 are reversed, and the above compaction steps are repeated so that the moxa wool in all the V-shaped chambers 300 can be compacted to form the moxa cone 400.

[0038] It should be further explained that even if medical staff fill the V-shaped chamber 300 with excessive moxa wool, causing the pressure plate 320 to fail to abut against the two inner sides of the V-shaped chamber 300, the resulting moxa cone 400, apart from being slightly oversized, still meets the requirements for moxibustion. To ensure that all moxa cones 400 have the same size, in addition to weighing the material, the moxa wool can be completely spread throughout the V-shaped chamber 300 during filling, thus eliminating the need for weighing.

[0039] When moxibustion is not required, all the moxa sticks 400 are stored in multiple molding molds 100. Since the molding molds 100 are arranged in a stacked manner, this storage method saves a significant amount of space. Furthermore, because medical staff can quickly produce multiple moxa sticks 400 using this technology, medical departments do not need to stockpile large quantities of moxa sticks 400; a suitable quantity is sufficient.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, during moxibustion, any molding mold 100 is taken and all its inlets 310 are covered with a cover plate 200. Then, the entire mold is inverted, causing the moxa sticks 400 inside the molding mold 100 to fall onto the cover plate 200. Medical personnel remove the molding mold 100 and hold the baffle handle 210, tilting the cover plate 200 towards the baffle handle 210. This allows all the moxa sticks 400 on the cover plate 200 to slide down the slope until they are blocked by the baffle handle 210, narrowing the distance between two adjacent moxa sticks 400 to prevent them from falling during the transfer process. Finally, the medical staff hold the baffle handle 210 and tilt the cover plate 200 away from the baffle handle 210, so that all the moxa sticks 400 on the cover plate 200 can slide down the slope to the moxibustion area, so as to avoid direct contact between the hands and the moxa sticks 400, thereby minimizing the possibility of the moxa sticks 400 falling apart.

[0041] In summary, the moxa stick making tool can produce multiple 400 moxa sticks for moxibustion at the same time, and it integrates the functions of making, preserving and applying moxibustion, with significant clinical effects.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, since three moxa sticks are needed for each moxibustion session, each molding mold 100 is provided with three V-shaped chambers 300 to facilitate subsequent moxibustion. Of course, the molding mold 100 may also be provided with other numbers of V-shaped chambers 300, and is not limited to the above embodiment.

[0043] For example, when the cross-sectional shape of the moxa stick 400 is an equilateral triangle, its overall structure will be more stable and compact. Therefore, the cross-sectional shape of the inner cavity of each V-shaped chamber 300 is preferably an equilateral triangle. According to the principle of similar triangles, regardless of the ratio between the width of the pressure plate 320 and the maximum inner cavity width of the V-shaped chamber 300, the cross-sectional shape of each manufactured moxa stick 400 is also an equilateral triangle.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the side of the molding die 100 adjacent to the stop handle 210 is the first outer side 110, and the stop handle 210 is provided with a baffle 211 parallel to the first outer side 110. With the above arrangement, the moxa stick 400 can fit more closely to the baffle 211 when it slides down the slope, so as to prevent the edges on the baffle 211 from damaging the overall structure of the moxa stick 400.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, the moxa stick 400 of the second aspect of the present invention is made by at least two of the above-mentioned moxa stick making tools. Regardless of the number of moxa stick making tools, each assembly is generally equipped with only one cover plate 200 to avoid loss of the cover plate 200.

[0046] Since the Fire Dragon Moxibustion Stick 400 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0047] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
