Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical assistive devices, and in particular to a mask suitable for treating facial paralysis by combining moxibustion and acupuncture. Background Technology
[0002] Facial paralysis, also known as facial nerve palsy, is divided into central and peripheral facial paralysis. Symptoms include unilateral or bilateral facial muscle weakness, facial asymmetry, difficulty closing the eyes, and air leakage when puffing out the cheeks. The causes are often related to exposure to cold or wind on the face or behind the ears, but can also be caused by trauma, poisoning, infection, metabolic disorders, congenital malformations, or tumors. The affected area is mainly located in the facial nerve nucleus and the distribution area of the facial nerve. It is a common and frequently occurring neurological disease that can occur at any age, severely affecting appearance and causing significant psychological and physical burden. Current treatment methods include rehabilitation training, surgery, medication, and physical therapy, with physical therapy including acupuncture, infrared radiation, and electrotherapy.
[0003] Mongolian medicine's Ula moxibustion technique is a type of moxibustion therapy that can directly stimulate the skin of the affected area, conduct heat, and achieve effects such as warming the meridians, dispelling cold, calming the mind, and promoting local blood circulation and nerve conduction. It has a certain therapeutic effect on facial paralysis.
[0004] The prior art CN202022333905.4 discloses a mask-type peripheral facial paralysis treatment device. The nebulizer sprays the liquid medicine into the gap between the mask shell and the face. The heating tube group heats the mask, which enlarges the pores of the human body and increases the absorption of the medicine. This makes the medicine for treating peripheral facial paralysis more fully delivered and improves the treatment effect.
[0005] Existing technology CN202420481472.2 discloses a mask-type peripheral facial paralysis treatment device that can heat the face while massaging it. The massage rollers also allow the mask to fit the face more closely, making it convenient to use. None of the above-mentioned existing technologies have been reported to utilize Mongolian medicine's Ula moxibustion technique for treatment, and all rely on drug absorption to assist in the treatment of the entire facial area. However, in actual operation, the lesion area of facial paralysis is not the entire face. When using heating to assist drug absorption, the temperature needs to be increased to promote facial muscle temperature perception. However, for unaffected areas, the treatment temperature may be too high, causing a burning sensation in the patient, which is not conducive to the treatment. Utility Model Content
[0006] The core of this invention lies in solving the problem of burns that easily occur in non-disease areas of the face during Ula moxibustion treatment due to a single moxa stick moving across the face, by opening treatment holes on the surface of the mask body. Simultaneously, by using multiple auxiliary components to treat the same lesion area with multiple moxa sticks at the same time, treatment efficiency can be improved.
[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0008] A mask suitable for treating facial paralysis using a combination of moxibustion and acupuncture includes a mask body with treatment holes on its surface. Multiple auxiliary components are mounted on the surface of the mask body, including several fixing seats fixed to the surface of the mask body and located around the treatment holes. Each fixing seat has a magnetic suction port inside, with a magnetic rod inserted into the magnetic suction port. A deformable tube is mounted on the top of the magnetic rod, and a mounting block is connected to the tail end of the deformable tube. A clip is mounted on the top of the mounting block. Ventilation holes are provided in the area of the mask body corresponding to the nostrils. Multiple heat-insulating pads are mounted on the inner surface of the mask body.
[0009] Furthermore, an adapter rod is snapped into the bottom of the mounting block, and a dust-proof mesh is connected to the surface of the adapter rod.
[0010] Furthermore, the heat insulation pad includes a base layer fixed to the inner surface of the mask body, and a silicone layer is installed at the bottom of the base layer.
[0011] Furthermore, a timer is installed on the surface of the mask body via a connecting layer, and an alarm and indicator light are installed on the surface of the timer.
[0012] Furthermore, the connecting layer is either Velcro or magnetic closure, and the deformable tube is made of a universal flexible metal tube.
[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0014] (1) The mask body in this solution has treatment holes on its surface and is equipped with multiple sets of flexibly adjustable auxiliary components. The moxibustion body is fixed by clips connected by deformable tubes, so that multiple moxibustion bodies can be applied to the same lesion area on the face at the same time, improving treatment efficiency. In addition, the mask body has corresponding treatment holes for different lesion areas. Each mask has one treatment hole. Multiple masks are manufactured according to different lesion areas. The combination of treatment holes and heat insulation pads can form a heat insulation effect between the face and the mask body, avoiding burns to non-treatment areas. Moreover, a dust-proof net is installed under the mounting block to prevent moxibustion ash from falling and burning the skin. The mask body is also equipped with an openable fastener to facilitate covering or exposing the eyes, in order to meet the psychological needs of patients during treatment. (2) This solution adds a detachable timer to the surface of the mask body, which can be set to count down from 2 to 20 minutes. When the time is up, the operator will be reminded by sound and light to clean up the ash of the moxibustion body in time to avoid the ash accumulation affecting heat conduction or falling and causing burns. This improvement makes the treatment process more controllable and reduces the risk of human negligence. It is especially suitable for scenarios where multiple moxibustion bodies need to be operated at the same time, which helps to ensure the continuous effectiveness and operation safety of Ula moxibustion treatment and provides a more reliable auxiliary management method for both doctors and patients.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solution will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this utility model.
[0022] Example 1:
[0023] Please see Figures 1-2 A mask suitable for treating facial paralysis using a combination of moxibustion and acupuncture includes a mask body 1. The surface of the mask body 1 has treatment holes 5, and multiple sets of auxiliary components 4 are installed on the surface of the mask body 1. The auxiliary components 4 include multiple fixing seats 2 fixed to the surface of the mask body 1 and located around the treatment holes 5. The fixing seats 2 have magnetic suction ports 3 inside, and magnetic suction rods 44 are inserted into the magnetic suction ports 3. A deformable tube 42 is installed on the top of the magnetic suction rod 44, and a mounting block 43 is connected to the tail end of the deformable tube 42. A clip 41 is installed on the top of the mounting block 43. The mask body 1 has ventilation holes 7 in the area corresponding to the nostrils, and multiple heat insulation pads 8 are installed on the inner surface of the mask body 1.
[0024] Please see Figure 3 The bottom of the mounting block 43 is snapped with an adapter rod 46, the surface of the adapter rod 46 is connected with a dust-proof mesh 45, and the deformable tube 42 is made of a universal flexible metal tube.
[0025] Specifically, the heat insulation pad 8 is located at the center of the eyebrows, temples, bridge of the nose, and chin, and can be added or removed as needed. It is mainly used to provide a gap between the mask body 1 and the patient's face to prevent the mask body 1 from directly covering the face. In the traditional Ula moxibustion operation, the moxibustion body is usually held and moved along the face. However, in the actual treatment process, there is a difference in the ability of facial muscles to perceive temperature between the diseased area and the non-diseased area. When the moxibustion body moves to the non-diseased area during the movement, it will cause a burning sensation on the face. Therefore, the presence of the mask body 1 and the heat insulation pad 8 can provide a better heat insulation effect for the non-diseased areas (which are covered by the mask body 1).
[0026] Please see Figure 5 The heat insulation pad 8 includes a base layer 81 fixed to the inner surface of the mask body 1, and a silicone layer 82 is installed at the bottom of the base layer 81.
[0027] Specifically, the base layer 81 is a structure with anti-slip texture fixed to the surface of the mask body 1. The silicone layer 82 is connected to the base layer 81 by adhesive bonding, which enhances the connection stability of the silicone layer 82. In addition, the silicone layer 82 is easy to clean, which can reduce the possibility of cross-infection. The silicone layer 82 is relatively soft and can play a good cushioning role. When combined with the non-porous area on the surface of the mask body 1, it isolates the burning sensation caused by the heat transfer of the moxibustion body to non-lesioned areas of the face during treatment.
[0028] When performing Ula moxibustion, according to the lesion area of facial paralysis, corresponding openings are designed on the surface of the mask body 1 (the openings form treatment holes 5). In this application, the number of treatment holes 5 on the surface of each mask body 1 is one. According to different lesion areas, multiple mask bodies 1 with treatment holes 5 at different positions on the surface are made. For ease of explanation, the treatment holes 5 in this application are opened in the cheek area. Because the area of the lesion area is larger than the area of a single Ula moxibustion moxibustion body (the diameter of a single moxibustion body is 1-2 cm), acupuncture is performed first in the lesion area corresponding to each treatment hole 5. Multiple auxiliary components 4 are arranged around the treatment hole 5. Each auxiliary component 4 can be used to hold a moxibustion body. In this way, multiple moxibustion bodies can be used for treatment at the same time, which can improve treatment efficiency and solve the problem that only one moxibustion body can be used to move in different areas, affecting the treatment results and prolonging the treatment time.
[0029] During moxibustion, the magnetic rod 44 is inserted into the magnetic port 3 inside the fixing base 2 to form a preliminary fixation. According to the treatment needs, the deformable tube 42 is arranged into the required shape. The ignited moxibustion body is held by the clamp 41, and the ash-proof mesh 45 is threaded to the bottom of the mounting block 43 through the adapter rod 46 so that the ash-proof mesh 45 is located below the ignited moxibustion body, which plays the role of ash-proofing and prevents the hot ash from falling onto the face and causing burns during the treatment.
[0030] When connecting the dust-proof mesh 45 to the bottom of the mounting block 43, it is connected by a snap-fit (the structure of the snap-fit is not fixed, and a buckle can be used for connection; buckles are existing technology and will not be described in detail here), so that it is located directly below the moxibustion body held by the clamp 41.
[0031] In addition, in this embodiment, the installation method of the magnetic rod 44 and the fixing base 2 can also be replaced by fixing it with a U-shaped push-pull buckle. The method is not limited and can be selected according to the actual situation.
[0032] Example 2:
[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 A timer 6 is installed on the surface of the mask body 1 via a connecting layer 9, and an alarm and an indicator light are installed on the surface of the timer 6.
[0034] In this embodiment, the timer 6 is made removable and easy to install by using magnetic blocks or Velcro structures, making it convenient to replace.
[0035] During actual treatment, as the moxibustion device burns, ash gradually accumulates on it. It needs to be shaken and cleaned promptly to ensure proper heat transfer from the ignited end. This embodiment addresses this issue with an improved treatment method.
[0036] A timer 6 is installed on the surface of the mask body 1, set to countdown 2-20 minutes. It starts when the Ula moxibustion treatment begins. After 2-3 minutes, timer 6 alarms, reminding the operator to go to the patient's location. The operator manually manipulates the deformable tube 42 to move the moxibustion body (which needs ash removal) outside the facial area. After cleaning the ash from the lit end of the moxibustion body, the deformable tube 42 is rearranged so that the lit end of the moxibustion body is back in the corresponding treatment area. The Ula moxibustion treatment continues. A prompt is issued after the set treatment time (less than 20 minutes) ends, reminding the operator to return to the patient's location for follow-up procedures. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model; it encompasses all the protection scope of this utility model. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concepts, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
