Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of physiotherapy and health care technology, and specifically refers to an automatic moxibustion structure for a moxibustion chair. Background technology:

[0002] Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy for disease prevention and treatment, with functions including warming the meridians and dispelling cold, strengthening the body's resistance and eliminating pathogens, promoting qi circulation and unblocking the meridians, and preventing disease and maintaining health. The *Huangdi Neijing* states: "Where acupuncture is ineffective, moxibustion is suitable." The *Bian Que Xin Shu* states: "The best method for preserving life is moxibustion, followed by elixirs, and then aconite." Traditional Chinese moxibustion is applied by hand or with a bandage. Modern moxibustion uses various tools, but these tools share drawbacks: they produce a strong smell of smoke, the temperature is not adjustable, and burns are common. Some tools are also inconvenient to use, requiring specific locations at home or elsewhere.

[0003] The emergence of moxibustion chairs can solve the above problems to some extent. However, the existing moxibustion chairs on the market currently have a sheet metal part placed in the seating and back space. The lit moxa stick is placed inside the sheet metal part for moxibustion. This is inconvenient to use, the temperature is unstable, and there is a lot of smoke. Moreover, it requires manual lighting and replacement of moxa wool or moxa sticks, which is very inconvenient to use. It requires professional personnel to supervise, resulting in a waste of human resources and making it impossible to achieve widespread adoption. For example, a moxibustion chair with Chinese patent application number 201921958324.0 discloses a foot moxibustion box 10 in the lower middle part of the chair, a buttock moxibustion groove 11 on the upper surface of the chair, and a moxa stick fixing plate 21 on the backrest. The chair is used for buttock moxibustion by placing lit moxa wool or moxa sticks into the buttock moxibustion groove 11 and sitting on it. For foot moxibustion, the chair is used by pulling the foot moxibustion box 10 out, placing lit moxa wool or moxa sticks into it, and placing the feet on it. For back moxibustion, the chair is used by placing lit moxa wool or moxa sticks on the fixing plate 21 and leaning against the backrest. However, the positions of the buttock moxibustion groove 11, foot moxibustion box 10, and moxa stick fixing plate 21 are fixed and cannot be adjusted, leading to uncontrollable temperature and a risk of burns. Furthermore, the smoke produced during the burning of the moxa wool or moxa sticks is quite strong and unpleasant for users.

[0004] In view of the above, the inventors propose the following technical solution. Utility model content:

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an automatic moxibustion structure for a moxibustion chair.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic moxibustion structure for a moxibustion chair, comprising: a moxibustion chamber and a moxibustion mechanism, wherein the moxibustion mechanism includes a lifting device vertically arranged beside the moxibustion chamber, a swinging device arranged on the lifting device, a moxa cone plate arranged on the swinging device for receiving moxa cones, and a flipping device arranged on the swinging device for driving the moxa cone plate to flip. The lifting device and the swinging device cooperate to drive the moxa cone plate to move in the moxibustion chamber for moxibustion.

[0007] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the lifting device includes a vertical guide rail, a lead screw module arranged parallel to the side of the vertical guide rail, a lifting seat slidably installed on the vertical guide rail and connected to the lead screw module, and a first motor for driving the lead screw module to move the lifting seat up and down, wherein the swing device is installed on the lifting seat.

[0008] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the swinging device includes a second motor, a swinging support plate mounted on the second motor, and a flipping link mounted on the swinging support plate in a rotatable manner and connected to the moxibustion disc, wherein the flipping device is mounted on the swinging support plate and connected to the flipping link.

[0009] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the flipping device is a third motor, which is mounted on the swing support plate and its output shaft is connected to one end of the flipping linkage; the other end of the flipping linkage is connected to the moxibustion disc through an adjusting sleeve.

[0010] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the bottom of the moxibustion disc is provided with a moxibustion seat that extends to one side and is connected to the adjusting sleeve. One end of the adjusting sleeve is connected and fixed to the moxibustion seat through a first nut, and the other end of the adjusting sleeve is sleeved on the flipping connecting rod and connected and fixed through a second nut, and can adjust the length of the flipping connecting rod extending into the adjusting sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the side wall of the moxibustion chamber is provided with a first stroke groove for the moxibustion mechanism to drive the moxa stick to move, and the side wall of the moxibustion chamber is also equipped with a damper flap mechanism for closing and opening one end of the first stroke groove.

[0012] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the damper flap mechanism includes a damper disposed on one side of the first stroke groove, a rotating shaft disposed rotatably on the side of the first stroke groove and used to install and support the damper, a support side plate disposed on the outer wall of the moxibustion chamber and used to support one end of the rotating shaft, and a fourth motor disposed on the outer wall of the moxibustion chamber and connected to the other end of the rotating shaft to drive its rotation.

[0013] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the first travel groove is L-shaped, the damper flap mechanism is located in the horizontal section of the first travel groove, and the igniter is located above the damper flap mechanism; the bottom of the seat body is also provided with a support shell for installing the moxibustion mechanism.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, the moxibustion mechanism automatically moves the moxa stick from the storage tank to the moxibustion chamber, and then ignites it with an igniter. The moxibustion mechanism then drives the moxa stick to move continuously in the moxibustion chamber, so that the smoke passes evenly through the perforated plate for moxibustion and ensures that the temperature at the perforated plate remains stable to avoid excessive heat that could cause burns. The smoke generated by the burning moxa stick is absorbed by the filtration device after the moxibustion is completed and discharged after filtration, preventing the smoke from being discharged directly and achieving smoke-free moxibustion in the environment.

[0016] 2. The moxa stick is held in a moxa cone tray. A swinging device horizontally swings the moxa cone tray into the moxibustion chamber. First, a lifting device drives the moxa cone tray to rise to the bottom of the igniter, where the moxa stick is ignited. Then, the lifting device lowers the moxa stick, and the swinging device swings it to the bottom of the perforated plate. The lifting device then raises the moxa stick to the designated height. The swinging and lifting devices work together to drive the moxa stick to move continuously under the perforated plate, achieving a "pecking moxibustion" effect. Finally, after the moxa stick has completely burned out, the lifting device lowers it to near the ash storage drawer. Then, a flipping device rotates the moxa cone tray 180° to pour the ash into the ash storage drawer. The flipping device then returns the moxa cone tray to its initial state. Finally, the lifting and swinging devices work together to send the moxa cone tray back to the bottom of the storage bucket, ready for the next moxibustion session. The entire moxibustion process requires no manual operation, achieving fully automatic moxibustion. Users only need to turn on the device. It is safe to use, can be performed by anyone, has a wide range of applications, and can be widely adopted. Attached image description:

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0025] See Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an automatic moxibustion chair includes: a seat body 1, a moxibustion chamber 2 located below the seat body 1, a storage bucket 3 located beside the moxibustion chamber 2 for storing moxa sticks A, a moxibustion mechanism 4 located beside the storage bucket 3 for receiving moxa sticks A and transferring them into the moxibustion chamber 2, an igniter 5 located inside the moxibustion chamber 2 for igniting moxa sticks A, a filter device 6 located inside the moxibustion chamber 2 for filtering smoke, and a moxa ash drawer 7 located at the bottom of the moxibustion chamber 2 for collecting moxa stick ash. The seat body 1 is provided with a perforated plate 8 that covers the moxibustion chamber 2. The moxa stick A is automatically moved from the storage tank 3 to the moxibustion chamber 2 by the moxibustion mechanism 4, and then ignited by the igniter 5. The moxibustion mechanism 4 then drives the moxa stick A to move continuously in the moxibustion chamber 2, so that the smoke passes evenly through the perforated plate 8 for moxibustion, and ensures that the temperature at the perforated plate 8 remains stable to avoid excessive heat that could cause burns. The smoke generated by the burning moxa stick A is absorbed by the filter device 6 after the moxibustion is completed, and then discharged after filtration, preventing the smoke from being discharged directly and achieving smoke-free moxibustion in the environment.

[0026] The moxibustion mechanism 4 includes a lifting device 41 vertically arranged beside the moxibustion chamber 2, a swinging device 42 arranged on the lifting device 41 and capable of horizontal movement between the storage tank 3 and the moxibustion chamber 2, a moxa cone plate 43 arranged on the swinging device 42 for receiving the moxa cone A, and a flipping device 44 arranged on the swinging device 42 for driving the moxa cone plate 43 to flip. The moxa cone A is received by the moxa cone plate 43, and the swinging device 42 swings the moxa cone plate 43 horizontally into the moxibustion chamber 2. First, the lifting device 41 drives the moxa cone plate 43 to rise to the lower end of the igniter 5, where the igniter 5 ignites the moxa cone A. Then, the lifting device 41 lowers the height, and the swinging device 42 swings the moxa cone A below the perforated plate 8. The lifting device 41 then raises the moxa cone A to a designated height. The swinging device 42 and the lifting device 41 work together to drive the moxa cone A to move continuously below the perforated plate 8, achieving a sparrow-pecking moxibustion effect. Finally, after the moxa cone A is completely burned out, the lifting device... 41. Lower the moxa stick A to the drawer 7 where the moxa ash is stored. Then, the flipping device 44 flips the moxa stick tray 43 180° to pour the ash from the burning moxa stick A into the drawer 7. The flipping device 44 then flips the moxa stick tray 43 back to its initial state. The lifting device 41 and the swinging device 42 work together to send the moxa stick tray 43 back to the bottom of the storage bucket 3, ready for the next moxibustion session. The entire moxibustion process requires no manual operation and is fully automated. Users only need to turn on the device. It is safe to use and anyone can operate it independently. It has a wide range of applications and can be widely adopted.

[0027] The lifting device 41 includes a vertical guide rail 411, a lead screw module 412 parallel to the side of the vertical guide rail 411, a lifting seat 413 slidably mounted on the vertical guide rail 411 and connected to the lead screw module 412, and a first motor 414 for driving the lead screw module 412 to move the lifting seat 413 up and down. A swing device 42 is mounted on the lifting seat 413. The swing device 42 includes a second motor 421, a swing support plate 422 mounted on the second motor 421, and a flipping link 423 rotatably mounted on the swing support plate 422 and connected to the moxibustion disc 43. A flipping device 44 is mounted on the swing support plate 422 and connected to the flipping link 423.

[0028] The flipping device 44 is a third motor, which is mounted on the swing support plate 422, and its output shaft is connected to one end of the flipping connecting rod 423. The other end of the flipping connecting rod 423 is connected to the moxa cone 43 via an adjusting sleeve 45. The bottom of the moxa cone 43 is provided with a moxa cone seat 431 extending to one side and connected to the adjusting sleeve 45. One end of the adjusting sleeve 45 is fixed to the moxa cone seat 431 via a first nut 451, and the other end of the adjusting sleeve 45 is sleeved on the flipping connecting rod 423 and fixed via a second nut 452, allowing adjustment of the length of the flipping connecting rod 423 extending into the adjusting sleeve 45. By connecting the flipping connecting rod 423 and the moxa cone 43 via the adjusting sleeve 45, and using the first nut 451 and the second nut 452 at both ends of the adjusting sleeve 45 to adjust the length of the extended moxa cone 43, the assembly and debugging of the moxibustion mechanism 4 is not only convenient, but the range of motion of the moxa cone 43 can also be adjusted during use to meet the needs of different users.

[0029] The filtration device 6 includes a filter core 61 located on one side of the moxibustion chamber 2 and a smoke extraction fan 62 located at the bottom of the filter core 61. A temperature sensor 10 is also installed in the moxibustion chamber 2 to monitor the temperature below the porous plate 8. An electromagnet device 30 is installed on one side of the storage tank 3 to fix the bottom moxa stick A in the storage tank 3 and to lower the moxa stick A one by one into the moxibustion mechanism 4.

[0030] The side wall of the moxibustion chamber 2 is provided with a first travel groove 21 for the moxibustion mechanism 4 to move the moxa stick A. A damper mechanism 9 for closing and opening one end of the first travel groove 21 is also installed on the side wall of the moxibustion chamber 2. By controlling the opening and closing of one end of the first travel groove 21 through the damper mechanism 9, air can only enter through the narrow channel of the first travel groove 21, avoiding an excessively large air inlet. Furthermore, when the smoke extraction fan 62's smoke filtration volume and air intake volume are not properly matched, smoke is directly discharged from this point.

[0031] The damper flap mechanism 9 includes a damper 91 disposed on one side of the first travel groove 21, a rotating shaft 92 disposed rotatably on the side of the first travel groove 21 for mounting and supporting the damper 91, a supporting side plate 93 disposed on the outer wall of the moxibustion chamber 2 for supporting one end of the rotating shaft 92, and a fourth motor 94 disposed on the outer wall of the moxibustion chamber 2 and connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 92 to drive its rotation.

[0032] The first travel groove 21 is L-shaped, with the damper flap mechanism 9 located in the horizontal section of the first travel groove 21, and the igniter 5 located above the damper flap mechanism 9. The bottom of the seat body 1 is also provided with a support housing 46 for mounting the moxibustion mechanism 4. The side wall of the support housing 46 is provided with a second travel groove 461 corresponding to the first travel groove 21 for the movement of the swing device 42. The portion of the first travel groove 21 below the igniter 5 has an enlarged notch, designed to facilitate the delivery of the moxa cone A by the moxa cone disc 43 into the moxibustion chamber 2. The damper flap mechanism 9 covers the entire notch.

[0033] In summary, during operation, several moxa sticks A are stacked inside the storage bucket 3. The bottom moxa stick A is pressed and fixed by the electromagnet device 30 at the lower end of the storage bucket 3, thus achieving the stacking of moxa sticks A inside the storage bucket 3. For aesthetic purposes, a cover plate can be installed at the upper end of the storage bucket 3, and the upper surface of the cover plate should be flush with the seat surface of the seat body 1. Furthermore, when the user sits on the perforated plate 8 and starts the moxibustion, the moxa stick disc 43 of the moxibustion mechanism 4 is located below the storage bucket 3, and the electromagnet device 30... When the electromagnet 30 is energized, it releases the moxa stick A, causing the lowest moxa stick A to fall into the moxa stick tray 43. Then, the electromagnet 30 is de-energized, pressing the second moxa stick A at the bottom, completing the automatic discharge of moxa stick A. Further, the damper flap mechanism 9 opens the notch in the first stroke slot 21, and the swing device 42 transfers the moxa stick tray 43 into the moxibustion chamber 2, placing it below the igniter 5. The lifting device 41 then raises the moxa stick A to contact the igniter 5, heating it to combustion. Simultaneously, the filter device 6... The process begins with the exhaust fan 62 drawing smoke into the filter element 61, where it is filtered and then released into the air. Next, the lifting device 41 and the swinging device 42 work together to move the lit moxa stick A below the perforated plate 8 for moxibustion. The temperature sensor 10 monitors the temperature below the perforated plate 8. If the temperature is too high, feedback information controls the lifting device 41 to descend, moving the moxa stick A away from the perforated plate 8. Conversely, if the temperature is too low, feedback information controls the lifting device 41 to rise, moving the moxa stick A closer to the perforated plate 8. The perforated plate 8 enables the sparrow-pecking moxibustion. Furthermore, after the moxa stick A has burned out, the lifting device 41 lowers the moxa stick tray 43 to the bottom. The flipping device 44 flips the moxa stick tray 43 180° forward, allowing the moxa stick ash to be poured into the moxa ash drawer 7 for temporary storage. Then, the flipping device 44 flips the moxa stick tray 43 180° backward to return it to the initial position. The lifting device 41 and the swinging device 42 work together to move the moxa stick tray 43 back to the moxa stick receiving position below the storage bucket 3, close the air damper, and reach the initial position of the second cycle.

[0034] This invention integrates mechanical mechanisms and intelligent control into a chair. Users only need to install moxa sticks to easily perform moxibustion. It features automatic moxa stick delivery, automatic ignition, automatic temperature adjustment, automatic ash removal, and automatic smoke elimination. The entire moxibustion process is intelligent, smokeless, and odorless. Users can easily perform moxibustion while chatting, watching TV, studying, or working, making it convenient, intelligent, and user-friendly.

[0035] Of course, the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model should be included in the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
