Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxibustion technology, and in particular to a moxibustion massage device. Background Technology

[0002] Moxibustion, also known as moxibustion therapy or moxibustion method, is a treatment method that uses moxa sticks or moxa cones made from mugwort leaves to stimulate acupoints or specific parts of the body with the heat generated by the moxa. By stimulating the activity of Qi in the meridians, it adjusts the disordered physiological and biochemical functions of the human body, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases.

[0003] Tuina (Chinese massage) refers to the therapeutic treatment performed by using the hands on the body's meridians and acupoints using techniques such as pushing, grasping, lifting, pinching, and kneading. The practitioner uses their hands to apply these techniques to the patient's body surface, injured areas, areas of discomfort, specific acupoints, and painful areas, employing a variety of methods and pressures including pushing, grasping, pressing, rubbing, kneading, tapping, and patting to achieve the therapeutic effects of unblocking meridians, promoting blood circulation, relieving pain, dispelling pathogens, and harmonizing Yin and Yang. Because tuina is physically demanding, many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners find it difficult to perform prolonged tuina sessions.

[0004] In the prior art, a moxibustion massage device is a tool in which the practitioner holds the handle and the moxibustion cylinder rolls over the patient's body to perform moxibustion massage. Existing patent technologies include Chinese patent CN219332512U, which was authorized and announced on 2023-07-14, and Chinese patent CN209220957U, which was authorized and announced on 2019-08-09.

[0005] However, in practice, due to changes in tolerance, patients often need to proceed with the moxibustion massage process gradually. For example, when the patient's tolerance is low at the beginning, the moxa stick needs to be kept far away from the body surface (too close will feel too hot and unbearable); as the treatment progresses and the patient's tolerance increases, the moxa stick can be gradually moved closer to the body surface to increase the moxibustion temperature.

[0006] In the existing patented technologies of moxibustion massage devices, the heat from the burning moxa is directly applied to the patient's body surface when it radiates from the holes in the roller. In the early stages of treatment, the patient may find the temperature stimulation difficult to tolerate, resulting in poor efficacy. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a moxibustion massage device that can adjust the distance between the cylinder and the patient's body surface at different treatment stages to gradually increase the temperature, thereby avoiding the patient's inability to tolerate the temperature stimulation in the early stage of treatment and improving the therapeutic effect.

[0008] This utility model provides a moxibustion massage device, including a handle, a roller, and an adjusting ring. The roller is rotatably connected to the front end of the handle, and a fixing structure for fixing the moxa stick is provided inside the roller. The surface of the roller is provided with moxibustion holes for heat dissipation. The adjusting ring is connected to the outer wall of the roller and has a radial length adjustment structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the adjusting ring is detachably connected to the outer wall of the roller section, and there are multiple adjusting rings, each with a different radial length.

[0010] Furthermore, the adjusting ring is threaded onto the outer wall of the roller section.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjusting ring includes a plurality of radially stackable sub-rings, wherein the outer diameter of the inner sub-ring is the same as the inner diameter of the outer sub-ring.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer sub-ring is threaded onto the outer wall of the inner sub-ring.

[0013] Furthermore, the sub-ring includes a connecting inner ring and a contact outer ring. The connecting inner ring has threads on both its inner and outer sides, and the contact outer ring has threads on its inner side that connect to the outer side of the connecting inner ring. The outer side of the contact outer ring is a smooth curved surface or a convex curved surface.

[0014] Furthermore, the regulating ring includes an inflatable, tire-like structure.

[0015] Furthermore, the two adjusting rings are respectively disposed at the beginning and end ends of the outer wall of the roller section.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a retaining ring, which is detachably fitted onto the outer surface of the roller portion and blocks part of the moxibustion holes.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer surface of the roller portion is provided with a plurality of protruding annular structures along the axial direction, and the retaining ring is sleeved between two adjacent protruding annular structures, and the retaining ring is made of elastic material.

[0018] The technical solution of this invention involves setting an adjustable ring on the outer wall of the roller. In the initial stages of treatment, when patient tolerance is low, the adjusting ring has a thicker radial length, thus keeping the moxibustion holes on the roller further from the patient's skin. This results in lower temperatures from the overflowing moxa smoke, minimizing irritation. As treatment progresses and the patient's tolerance to temperature increases, the adjusting ring can be gradually thinned, bringing the moxibustion holes closer to the patient's skin. This allows for higher temperatures from the overflowing moxa smoke, again minimizing irritation. Therefore, this invention allows for adjusting the distance between the roller and the patient's skin at different treatment stages, thereby controlling the temperature and preventing patients from experiencing unbearable temperature stimulation in the early stages of treatment, effectively improving therapeutic efficacy.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figures 1-8As shown, this utility model provides a moxibustion massager, including a handle part 1, a roller part 2 and an adjusting ring 3. The roller part 2 is rotatably connected to the front end of the handle part 1. The roller part 2 is provided with a fixing structure 201 for fixing the moxa stick inside, and the surface of the roller part 2 is provided with moxibustion holes 202 for heat dissipation. The adjusting ring 3 is connected to the outer wall of the roller part 2, and the radial length of the adjusting ring 3 is adjustable.

[0035] Specifically, the handle 1 is a convenient grip, one end of the roller 2 is rotatably connected to the front end of the handle 1, and the other end of the roller 2 has a detachable cover for inserting moxa sticks when opened. Inside the roller 2, at the end furthest from the cover, there is a pin as a fixing structure 201; to fix the moxa stick, it is inserted into the pin and lit. The roller 2 has moxibustion holes 202 circulating around its inner and outer walls. When the moxa stick burns, the resulting smoke escapes from these holes 202 and comes into contact with the patient's skin as the roller 2 rolls, thus achieving moxibustion treatment.

[0036] In the initial stages of treatment, when patients have low tolerance, directly contacting the roller 2 with the patient's skin can be unbearable due to the temperature of the moxa smoke. In this embodiment, an adjustable ring 3 with an adjustable radial length (or thickness) is connected to the outer wall of the roller 2. Initially, when patient tolerance is low, the adjustable ring 3 has a thicker radial length, resulting in the moxibustion holes 202 on the roller 2 being farther from the patient's skin. During treatment, the temperature of the overflowing moxa smoke is lower, minimizing irritation. As treatment progresses and the patient adapts to moxibustion, their tolerance to temperature increases. The adjustable ring 3 can then be adjusted to a thinner radial length, bringing the moxibustion holes 202 closer to the patient's skin. This results in the overflowing moxa smoke being warmer, but no longer causing significant irritation. Therefore, this invention allows for temperature control by adjusting the distance between the roller and the patient's skin at different treatment stages, preventing unbearable temperature stimulation in the initial stages of treatment and effectively improving therapeutic efficacy.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the adjusting ring 3 is detachably connected to the outer wall of the roller section 2. There are multiple adjusting rings 3, and the radial lengths of the different adjusting rings 3 are different. The adjusting ring 3 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the roller section 2.

[0039] Specifically, this embodiment provides a first method for adjusting the radial length of the adjusting ring 3. In this embodiment, there are multiple types of adjusting rings 3, each with a different radial length. In the initial stages of treatment when patient tolerance is low, the adjusting ring 3 with the longest / thickest radial length is selected and connected to the outer wall of the roller 2. As treatment progresses and patient tolerance gradually increases, the original adjusting ring 3 with a longer / thicker radial length can be removed and replaced with an adjusting ring 3 with a shorter / thinner radial length, thereby adjusting the radial length of the adjusting ring 3. The inner wall of the adjusting ring 3 is threaded and connects to the threads at both ends of the outer wall of the roller 2. The outer surface of the adjusting ring 3 is smooth or has raised dots for massage. The thinnest adjusting ring 3 can remain in place to avoid scratching the threads of the roller 2.

[0040] Example 3

[0041] like Figures 5-6 As shown, the adjusting ring 3 includes multiple radially stackable sub-rings 4, with the outer diameter of the inner sub-ring 4 being the same as the inner diameter of the outer sub-ring 4. The outer sub-ring 4 is threaded onto the outer wall of the inner sub-ring 4. The sub-ring 4 includes a connecting inner ring 401 and a contact outer ring 402. The connecting inner ring 401 has threads on both its inner and outer sides, and the inner side of the contact outer ring has threads that connect to the outer side of the connecting inner ring 401. The outer side of the contact outer ring is a smooth curved surface or a convex curved surface.

[0042] Specifically, this embodiment provides a second method for adjusting the radial length of the adjusting ring 3. In this embodiment, the adjusting ring 3 has multiple sub-rings 4, and the radial range of each sub-ring 4 is progressive, allowing multiple sub-rings 4 to be radially stacked to change the overall radial length / thickness of the adjusting ring 3. In the early stages of treatment when patient tolerance is low, all sub-rings 4 are radially interlocked to form an adjusting ring 3 with the longest / thickest radial length, and connected to the outer wall of the roller part 2 via the innermost sub-ring 4. As treatment progresses and patient tolerance gradually increases, the sub-rings 4 with the largest radial range can be gradually removed, shortening / thinning the overall radial length of the adjusting ring 3, thereby adjusting the radial length of the adjusting ring 3.

[0043] Since the three adjacent sub-rings 4 on the inner and outer sides are connected by threads, both the inner and outer walls of the sub-rings 4 will have threads. In order to avoid the outer wall threads of the outer sub-ring 4 scratching the skin, in this embodiment, each sub-ring 4 includes two components: a connecting inner ring 401 and a contact outer ring 402. The connecting inner ring 401 is used to increase the radial length / thickness of the adjusting ring 3. The connecting inner ring 401 in the middle position (with other connecting inner rings 401 on both the inner and outer sides) does not use the contact outer ring 402. The outermost connecting inner ring 401 is connected to the contact outer ring 402 of the corresponding size. After connecting the contact outer ring 402, the overall outer wall surface of the adjusting ring 3 is smooth or has protrusions on the surface for massage.

[0044] The attached diagram only shows the outermost contact ring 402 of the outermost sub-ring 4; the contact rings 402 of the other sub-rings 4 are not used and are not shown.

[0045] Example 4

[0046] like Figure 7 As shown, the regulating ring 3 includes an inflatable tire-like structure 5.

[0047] Specifically, this embodiment provides a third method for adjusting the radial length of the adjusting ring 3. In this embodiment, the adjusting ring 3 can be an inner tube structure made of rubber material, with the inflation port located on the side of the tire-like structure 5. The radial length / thickness of the adjusting ring 3 can be changed by adjusting the amount of air inflated. In the early stages of treatment when the patient's tolerance is low, the tire-like structure 5 is fully inflated to obtain the adjusting ring 3 with the longest / thickest radial length. As the treatment progresses and the patient's tolerance gradually increases, the inflation port can be gradually opened to deflate the ring, causing the overall radial length of the adjusting ring 3 to shorten / thin, thereby achieving the adjustment of the radial length of the adjusting ring 3.

[0048] Example 5

[0049] Two adjusting rings 3 are respectively set at the beginning and end of the outer wall of the roller section 2.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, adjustment rings 3 are respectively provided at both ends of the axial direction of the outer wall of the roller part 2 so that the roller part 2 is suspended above the patient's body surface. When the radial length of the adjustment ring 3 changes, the distance between all moxibustion holes 202 and the body surface changes synchronously.

[0051] Example 6

[0052] like Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a retaining ring 6, which is detachably fitted onto the outer surface of the roller part 2 and blocks part of the moxibustion holes 202. The outer surface of the roller part 2 is provided with multiple protruding annular structures 601 along the axial direction, and the retaining ring 6 is fitted between two adjacent protruding annular structures 601. The retaining ring 6 is made of elastic material.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the retaining ring 6 can be an elastic rubber ring or an elastic metal ring (with a break, similar to a clamp, which can be slightly opened). The retaining ring 6 is inserted between the protruding annular structures 601 at different axial positions, thereby blocking the moxibustion hole 202 at that position (the moxibustion holes 202 at other positions remain open), reducing the amount of moxa smoke escaping from that position, and further reducing the stimulation of the patient's body surface temperature. As the patient's tolerance improves during treatment, the retaining ring 6 can be removed to increase the amount of moxa smoke escaping.

[0054] The working method and principle of this utility model:

[0055] In the initial stages of treatment, when patient tolerance is low, the adjusting ring 3 is made to have a thicker radial length, so that the moxibustion holes 202 on the roller part 2 are farther from the patient's body surface. The temperature of the overflowing moxa smoke is lower when it comes into contact with the patient's body surface, minimizing irritation. As the treatment time increases, the patient's tolerance to temperature stimulation also increases. The adjusting ring 3 can then be gradually made to have a thinner radial length, so that the moxibustion holes 202 on the roller part 2 are closer to the patient's body surface. The temperature of the overflowing moxa smoke is higher when it comes into contact with the patient's body surface, at which point it no longer causes significant irritation.

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
