Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Moxibustion, also known as moxibustion therapy, is a treatment method that uses moxa sticks or cones made from mugwort leaves to stimulate acupoints or specific areas of the body with heat. This heat stimulates the flow of Qi (vital energy) to regulate disordered physiological and biochemical functions, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. The mechanism of action of moxibustion is similar to that of acupuncture, and the two methods complement each other. Moxibustion has many advantages, including simple operation, low cost, and significant effects.

[0003] When performing indirect moxibustion using moxa towers, the tower is lit directly on a slice of ginger or a salt cake. The acupoints to be treated require at least 20 minutes of moxibustion. One moxa tower is insufficient to sustain the entire treatment, necessitating multiple replacements. When replacing the moxa tower, medical staff typically use tweezers to hold the ashes after burning. However, the still-warm ashes can easily fall onto the patient's body during this process, potentially causing burns.

[0004] A search of existing Chinese patents revealed an Aita moxibustion device (publication number: CN215689849U), comprising a moxibustion cylinder made of metal material. The cylinder has a conical structure with a circular opening at the top. An internal placement cavity is provided within the cylinder, featuring a variable cross-sectional area that gradually increases from top to bottom. The end with the smallest cross-sectional area communicates with the placement opening. A clamping mechanism can be connected to the bottom of the cylinder. This clamping mechanism includes a first closing plate and a second closing plate movably connected via a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is detachably connected to the cylinder via a connecting post. When the first and second closing plates abut against each other, the bottom port of the placement cavity is closed. When the first and second closing plates move away from each other, the bottom port of the placement cavity is exposed. This moxibustion device has a simple structure, allowing the bottom port of the cylinder to be opened or closed. When closed, all ash is contained within, preventing accidental ash from falling and burning the patient when the Aita is replaced.

[0005] Although the aforementioned patent uses a clamping mechanism to manually seal the ash with the first and second closing plates, preventing the ash from accidentally falling and burning the patient, the device requires the operation of two sets of handles. These handles cause the springs to deform. With prolonged use, the springs lose elasticity due to repeated deformations, making it difficult for the two closing plates to close properly. This can cause ash to fall through the gap between the two closing plates, potentially resulting in burns to the patient.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an Aita moxibustion device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an acupuncture device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that long-term use of the spring component will cause reduced deformation, which in turn will lead to incomplete closure of the two sets of closing plates.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an acupuncture device, comprising an acupuncture cylinder, a square mounting bracket fixed to the outer wall of the acupuncture cylinder, a toothed rotating knob provided on one side of the square mounting bracket, a bidirectional screw fixed to the side of the toothed rotating knob, a first screw nut connected to the outer wall of the bidirectional screw, the first screw nut fixed inside a first mounting block, a first semi-circular baffle fixed to the side of the first mounting block, a second mounting block fixed to the side of the first semi-circular baffle, a first guide sliding hole provided inside the second mounting block, a guide sliding rod connected inside the first guide sliding hole, a protruding edge provided at the end of the first semi-circular baffle, a second semi-circular baffle provided on one side of the first semi-circular baffle, and an insertion groove provided at the end of the second semi-circular baffle.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the moxibustion cylinder is provided with a placement opening, and a heat insulation layer is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the moxibustion cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the heat insulation layer is provided with anti-slip grooves, and there are multiple sets of anti-slip grooves, which are linearly distributed on the outer wall of the heat insulation layer.

[0011] Preferably, a circular limiting block is fixed at one end of the bidirectional screw, and a limiting sliding hole is formed inside the square mounting bracket.

[0012] Preferably, a second screw nut is connected to the outer wall of the bidirectional screw, and the second screw nut is fixed inside the third mounting block.

[0013] Preferably, a fourth mounting block is fixed to the side of the second semi-circular baffle, and a second guide sliding hole is provided inside the fourth mounting block.

[0014] Preferably, the outer side of the square mounting bracket is fixed with an insertion port, and the inside of the insertion port is fixed with adhesive tape.

[0015] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. By setting an automatic opening mechanism, a toothed rotary knob, a bidirectional screw, a first screw nut, a first mounting block, a first semi-circular baffle, a second mounting block, a first guide slide hole, a guide slide rod, a protruding edge, a second screw nut, a third mounting block, a second semi-circular baffle, a fourth mounting block, a second guide slide hole, and an insertion slot, operating the toothed rotary knob causes the bidirectional screw to rotate. The outer wall of the bidirectional screw is connected to the first screw nut, which is fixed inside the first mounting block. The side of the first mounting block is fixed to the first semi-circular baffle, and the side of the first semi-circular baffle is fixed to the second mounting block. The second mounting block has a first guide slide hole inside, and a guide slide rod is connected inside the first guide slide hole. Under the limiting and guiding action of the guide slide rod, the first semi-circular baffle moves horizontally on the bidirectional screw. The outer wall of the bidirectional screw is connected to the second screw nut, which is fixed to the third mounting block. Inside the mounting block, a second semi-circular baffle is fixed to the side of the third mounting block, and a fourth mounting block is fixed to the side of the second semi-circular baffle. The fourth mounting block has a second guide sliding hole inside, and a guide sliding rod is connected inside the second guide sliding hole. Under the limiting and guiding action of the guide sliding rod, the second semi-circular baffle moves horizontally on the bidirectional screw. The end edge of the first semi-circular baffle is provided with a protruding edge, and the end edge of the second semi-circular baffle is provided with an insertion groove. When the first semi-circular baffle and the second semi-circular baffle move towards each other, the protruding edge coincides with the insertion groove, thereby achieving the effect of sealing the bottom outlet of the moxibustion cylinder. When the first semi-circular baffle and the second semi-circular baffle move in opposite directions, the ash after the moxibustion tower is burned can be poured out. This eliminates the need for a spring, solving the problem in the prior art where the elasticity of the spring changes due to long-term use, resulting in the two sets of closing plates not being able to close well, thus improving the sustainable practicality of the device.

[0017] 2. By setting up an adhesive tape, the patient is bonded and fixed to the device during moxibustion, which improves the stability of the moxibustion cylinder during application, prevents tilting, and ensures the continuous application of moxibustion. Attached Figure Description
