Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to an auxiliary moxibustion device for umbilical ring moxibustion therapy. Background Technology

[0002] The umbilical ring acupoints are specific acupoints in Zhuang medicine acupuncture, comprising two main groups: the inner umbilical ring acupoints and the outer umbilical ring acupoints. Both are located around the umbilicus and are collectively called umbilical ring acupoints. The inner umbilical ring acupoints are located 0.5 cun lateral to the outer edge of the umbilicus. Treating this inner ring as a clock face, eight points are selected at 12 o'clock, 1.5 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 4.5 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 7.5 o'clock, 9 o'clock, and 10.5 o'clock. The outer umbilical ring acupoints are located 1.5 cun lateral to the outer edge of the umbilicus. Four points are selected on this outer ring at 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 9 o'clock. In Zhuang medicine, these are commonly referred to as the four umbilical ring acupoints. See the Zhuang medicine umbilical ring acupoint chart for details. Figure 1 ).

[0003] Umbilical ring moxibustion therapy involves selecting fine, soft, golden-yellow aged moxa wool and crafting it into a cone-shaped moxa cone with a base diameter of 2mm and a height of 3mm. The cone is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, with a pointed top and a flat bottom. The prepared moxa cone is carefully placed on the umbilical ring acupoint and then lit with incense. Currently, tools used for moxibustion include bowl moxibustion and bamboo tube moxibustion, but these tools are designed for large-area application and do not target specific acupoints. There are no tools specifically designed for precise moxibustion of the umbilical ring acupoint. Furthermore, from the perspective of Zhuang medicine theory, the ideal state of umbilical ring moxibustion therapy is to combine acupressure and moxibustion, with acupressure needing to simultaneously target the eight acupoints within the umbilicus and the four acupoints around the umbilicus. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above, it is necessary to provide an auxiliary moxibustion device for umbilical ring moxibustion therapy, which can precisely perform moxibustion on a specific acupoint for umbilical ring moxibustion therapy.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an auxiliary moxibustion device for umbilical ring moxibustion therapy, wherein the moxibustion device has a cylindrical structure, the cylindrical structure includes an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder, the inner cylinder is coaxially sleeved inside the outer cylinder, one end of the inner cylinder is connected to the outer cylinder, and the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder are provided with a plurality of moxibustion holes for placing moxa sticks on their cylinder walls, the diameter of the moxibustion holes being larger than the diameter of the moxa sticks, and the moxibustion holes passing through both ends of the cylinder wall along the axial direction of the cylindrical structure; an isolation net is installed on each moxibustion hole, the mesh surface of the isolation net being perpendicular to the axial direction of the cylindrical structure.

[0006] Furthermore, the present invention also includes a cylindrical cover, which is detachably fitted onto one end of the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder. The cylindrical cover has massage holes that correspond one-to-one with the moxibustion holes, and a massage stick is movably inserted into the massage holes. The isolation net is movably installed on the cylindrical structure, and the mesh surface of the isolation net is aligned with or away from the moxibustion holes by the movement of the cylindrical structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the moxibustion holes on the inner cylinder wall are inner ring holes, and the moxibustion holes on the outer cylinder wall are outer ring holes; the isolation net is slidably connected to the cylindrical structure by two connecting rods, and the sliding direction is the radial direction of the cylindrical structure; the two connecting rods are spaced apart and connected by the isolation net, and there is a hollow part between the two connecting rods, the size of which is larger than the diameter of the moxibustion hole; the mesh surface of the isolation net faces the moxibustion hole or moves away from the moxibustion hole under the sliding action of the connecting rods and the cylindrical structure; the isolation net with one inner ring hole and one outer ring hole located in the same radial direction shares two connecting rods, and the hollow part on the two connecting rods is located between the two isolation nets, and the hollow part on the two connecting rods faces the outer ring hole when the isolation net moves away from the moxibustion hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the connecting rod is detachably connected to the cylindrical structure, and the isolation net is laterally inserted into or pulled out of the cylindrical structure under the action of the connecting rod.

[0009] Furthermore, a limiting block is provided between the two connecting rods. The limiting block is located between the two isolation nets and is relatively close to the isolation net corresponding to the inner ring hole. The limiting block abuts against the inner cylinder wall or the outer cylinder wall under the sliding action of the connecting rod and the cylindrical structure. When the limiting block abuts against the inner cylinder wall, the mesh surface of the isolation net is facing the moxibustion hole. When the limiting block abuts against the outer cylinder wall, the mesh surface of the isolation net is away from the moxibustion hole.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the isolation nets is slidably connected to the wall of one of the moxibustion holes, with the sliding direction being the axial direction of the cylindrical structure, and the isolation nets are detachably connected to the moxibustion holes under the sliding action.

[0011] Furthermore, any two adjacent isolation nets are connected by connectors.

[0012] Furthermore, the end of the massage stick that contacts the human body has a rounded design.

[0013] Furthermore, the distance from the mesh surface of the isolation net to one end of the cylindrical structure is 1-2 mm, and this end is the end where the inner and outer cylinders are not connected.

[0014] Furthermore, the distance from the center of the moxibustion hole on the outer cylinder to the center of the cylindrical structure is 1.5 inches, and the distance from the center of the moxibustion hole on the inner cylinder to the center of the cylindrical structure is 0.5 inches.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model has moxibustion holes set on the inner and outer cylinders of the cylindrical structure, and an isolation net is set inside the moxibustion holes. When the lit moxa stick is placed on the isolation net inside the moxibustion hole, the medicinal ingredients of the moxa stick will penetrate into the corresponding acupoints in the form of heat through the mesh of the isolation net. This allows for precise moxibustion on a specific acupoint and is applicable to umbilical moxibustion therapy. Moreover, with the help of the isolation net, it is not necessary to apply moxibustion directly to the skin, which can reduce the risk of burns.

[0017] 2. This utility model also includes a cylindrical cover with massage holes corresponding to the moxibustion holes. A massage stick is movably inserted into each massage hole. The isolation net is movably installed on the cylindrical structure, and the net surface of the isolation net faces the moxibustion hole or moves away from the moxibustion hole under the movement of the cylindrical structure. Only one moxibustion tool is needed to complete both acupressure and moxibustion, which can integrate acupressure and moxibustion into one, giving full play to the ideal therapeutic effect of umbilical ring moxibustion therapy. It does not require switching between multiple tools, making it convenient and quick. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further illustrate this utility model. Detailed Implementation Example

[0036] Please see Figure 2-5In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an auxiliary moxibustion device for umbilical ring moxibustion therapy is provided. The moxibustion device is a cylindrical structure 1, which includes an inner cylinder 11 and an outer cylinder 12. In this embodiment, both the inner cylinder 11 and the outer cylinder 12 are made of ceramic material. The inner cylinder 11 is coaxially sleeved inside the outer cylinder 12, and one end of the inner cylinder 11 is connected to the outer cylinder 12. The inner cylinder 11 and the outer cylinder 12 are manufactured using an integral molding process. Both the inner cylinder 11 and the outer cylinder 12 have several moxibustion holes 2 for placing moxa sticks on their walls. Preferably, the distance from the center of the moxibustion hole 2 on the outer cylinder 12 to the center of the cylindrical structure 1 is 1.5 inches, and the distance from the center of the moxibustion hole 2 on the inner cylinder 11 to the center of the cylindrical structure 1 is 0.5 inches. That is, the moxibustion holes 2 on the inner cylinder 11 correspond to the acupoints of the inner umbilicus, and the moxibustion holes 2 on the outer cylinder 12 correspond to the acupoints of the inner umbilicus. For the acupoints determined by the umbilicus moxibustion therapy, this embodiment has eight moxibustion holes 2 evenly arranged on the inner cylinder 11, corresponding to the eight acupoints of the inner umbilicus, and four moxibustion holes 2 evenly arranged on the outer cylinder 12, corresponding to the four acupoints of the inner umbilicus. Further, the diameter of the moxibustion hole 2 is larger than the diameter of the moxa stick, and the moxibustion hole 2 extends through both ends of the cylindrical wall along the axial direction of the cylindrical structure 1. Each moxibustion hole 2 is equipped with an isolation net 3, and the mesh surface of the isolation net 3 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the cylindrical structure 1. In use, the moxibustion device is placed over the user's abdomen, with the center of the cylindrical structure 1 aligned with the navel. The moxibustion holes 2 on the inner cylinder 11 and outer cylinder 12 correspond to the acupoints. The lit moxa stick is placed on the insulating mesh 3 inside the moxibustion hole 2. The medicinal properties of the moxa stick will penetrate into the corresponding acupoints in the form of heat through the mesh of the insulating mesh 3. This allows for precise moxibustion at a specific acupoint. Furthermore, thanks to the insulating mesh 3, direct application to the skin is not required, reducing the risk of burns. Additionally, the distance from the mesh surface of the insulating mesh 3 to one end of the cylindrical structure 1 is 1-2 mm. This end is the unconnected end of the inner cylinder 11 and outer cylinder 12, which is the end closest to the user during use. In other words, the distance between the user and the insulating mesh 3 is 1-2 mm, ensuring both user safety (avoiding burns) and sufficient penetration of the medicinal properties of the moxa stick into the corresponding acupoints.

[0037] Preferably, in order to integrate acupressure and moxibustion and fully utilize the ideal therapeutic effect of umbilical ring moxibustion therapy, the moxibustion device of this utility model also includes a cylindrical cover 4. The cylindrical cover 4 is detachably fitted onto one end of the inner cylinder 11 and the outer cylinder 12. The cylindrical cover 4 has massage holes 41 that correspond one-to-one with the moxibustion holes 2. Massage sticks 42 are movably inserted into the massage holes 41. The isolation net 3 is movably installed on the cylindrical structure 1, and the mesh surface of the isolation net 3 is aligned with or away from the moxibustion holes 2 by the movement of the cylindrical structure 1. When acupressure is needed, the cap 4 is placed on the cylindrical structure 1, and the movement of the cylindrical structure 1 moves the isolation net 3 away from the moxibustion hole 2, allowing the massage stick 42 to pass through the moxibustion hole 2 to achieve the purpose of acupressure. When moxibustion is needed, the cap 4 is removed, and the mesh surface of the isolation net 3 is aligned with the moxibustion hole 2 under the movement of the cylindrical structure 1, and moxibustion can be performed using the above method. This utility model uses one moxibustion tool to complete both acupressure and moxibustion, eliminating the need to switch between multiple tools, making it convenient and quick. More preferably, the end of the massage stick 42 that contacts the human body is rounded to enhance comfort and avoid injury to the human body.

[0038] Preferably, in this embodiment, the isolation net 3 is movably installed on the cylindrical structure 1 in the following manner: the moxibustion hole 2 on the inner cylinder 11 wall is an inner ring hole 21, and the moxibustion hole 2 on the outer cylinder 12 wall is an outer ring hole 22; the isolation net 3 is slidably connected to the cylindrical structure 1 by two connecting rods 31, and the sliding direction is the radial direction of the cylindrical structure 1; the two connecting rods 31 are spaced apart and connected by two isolation nets 3, and there is a hollow part between the two connecting rods 31, the size of which is larger than the diameter of the moxibustion hole 2; the mesh surface of the isolation net 3 is facing the moxibustion hole 2 or away from the moxibustion hole 2 under the sliding action of the connecting rods 31 and the cylindrical structure 1; the isolation net 3 with one inner ring hole 21 and one outer ring hole 22 located in the same radial direction shares two connecting rods 31, the hollow part on the two connecting rods 31 is located between the two isolation nets 3, and the hollow part on the two connecting rods 31 is facing the outer ring hole 22 when the isolation net 3 is away from the moxibustion hole 2. Under the sliding action of the connecting rod 31, the isolation net 3 moves relative to the moxibustion hole 2. When the isolation net 3 is facing the moxibustion hole 2, it facilitates moxibustion. When the isolation net 3 is away from the moxibustion hole 2, the inside of the moxibustion hole 2 is unobstructed, allowing the massage stick 42 to pass through, which is suitable for acupressure. In this embodiment, the connecting rod 31 is detachably connected to the cylindrical structure 1. Under the action of the connecting rod 31, the isolation net 3 can be inserted laterally into the cylindrical structure 1 or pulled laterally out of the cylindrical structure 1. When moxibustion is needed, inserting the connecting rod 31 laterally will drive the isolation net 3 to be inserted, and the mesh surface of the isolation net 3 will face the moxibustion hole 2. When acupressure is needed, pulling the connecting rod 31 out from the side of the cylindrical structure 1 will simultaneously pull out the isolation net 3 without interfering with the massage stick 42. Example

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2-3 and Figure 6-8 The only difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the connecting rod 31 and the isolation net 3 in this embodiment cannot be disassembled from the cylindrical structure 1. The other structures are the same as in Embodiment 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, a limiting block 32 is provided between the two connecting rods 31. The limiting block 32 is located between the two isolation nets 3 and is relatively close to the isolation net 3 corresponding to the inner ring hole 21. The limiting block 32 abuts against the wall of the inner cylinder 11 or the wall of the outer cylinder 12 under the sliding action of the connecting rod 31 and the cylindrical structure 1. When the connecting rod 31 abuts against the inner cylinder 11 wall, the mesh surface of the isolation net 3 is directly facing the moxibustion hole 2. When the limiting block 32 abuts against the outer cylinder 12 wall, the mesh surface of the isolation net 3 is away from the moxibustion hole 2. The limiting block 32 plays a positioning role, which can prevent the connecting rod 31 from sliding too far, causing the isolation net 3 corresponding to the inner ring hole 21 to be located in the outer ring hole 22 under the sliding action, which can easily cause damage to the isolation net 3 when pressed. It can also prevent the isolation net 3 from detaching from the cylindrical structure 1, so that it does not need to be installed one by one next time, and can also avoid loss. Example

[0040] Please refer to Figure 9-12 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies only in the way the isolation net 3 is installed; the other structures are the same as in Embodiment 1. Specifically, each isolation net 3 is slidably connected to the wall of one of the moxibustion holes 2, with the sliding direction being the axial direction of the cylindrical structure 1. The isolation net 3 is detachably connected to the moxibustion hole 2 under sliding action. The end of the isolation net 3 connecting the inner cylinder 11 and the outer cylinder 12 is the top end. When moxibustion is needed, the isolation net 3 is inserted into the moxibustion hole 2 through the opening at the top end, and the isolation net 3 is moved to the corresponding position under sliding action. When acupressure is needed, the isolation net 3 is removed from the opening at the top end of the moxibustion hole 2. More preferably, any two adjacent isolation nets 3 are connected by a connector 33, facilitating the uniform insertion or removal of the isolation net 3 from the moxibustion hole 2.

[0041] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made under the technical spirit of the present utility model should fall within the patent scope covered by the present utility model.
