Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxibustion health care technology, and in particular to moxibustion devices. Background Technology

[0002] Moxibustion is an important treatment method in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves using moxa sticks or cones made from mugwort leaves to stimulate acupoints or specific areas of the body with heat. This stimulates the flow of Qi (vital energy) to regulate disordered physiological and biochemical functions, thereby preventing and treating diseases. The principle lies in the dispersing, warming, and tonifying properties of mugwort leaves. Through heat stimulation of meridians and acupoints, it can warm the Yang, dispel cold, and strengthen the circulation of Qi and blood. In modern medicine, moxibustion therapy has gained widespread attention and application. TCM hospitals at all levels have established moxibustion departments, and research on the application of moxibustion has been carried out throughout the country and in various provinces and cities. Simultaneously, with the increasing health awareness and the popularization of TCM health preservation culture, moxibustion has gradually become a popular health maintenance method.

[0003] In order to facilitate moxibustion treatment, people have invented various devices to assist in heating mugwort leaves so that they can burn evenly and produce safe smoke for moxibustion treatment. These devices are collectively referred to as moxibustion instruments.

[0004] An automatic temperature-controlled smokeless moxibustion device is disclosed in Chinese patent document CN108635211B. This device includes a shell, a base, a wind circulation device, a support device, and a control circuit. The base is fixed to the bottom of the shell, and the interior of the shell is an inner cavity. The support device is disposed in the inner cavity for placing the moxibustion material to be burned. The device is characterized by: an opening at the lower end of the base, forming a moxibustion cavity at the bottom where the moxibustion smoke contacts the treatment area; an air outlet cavity connecting the inner cavity and the moxibustion cavity in the center of the base; and lower air outlets around the base for the moxibustion smoke to escape. The wind circulation device is used to create an airflow that sequentially flows through the inner cavity, the moxibustion cavity, and the lower air outlet. The automatic temperature-controlled smokeless moxibustion device of the present invention achieves long-term and full contact between moxibustion smoke and the human body, which can fully exert the medicinal properties of moxibustion materials, which is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of human diseases. It solves the problem of poor treatment effect caused by the escape of existing moxibustion smoke, and has significant beneficial effects. However, the automatic temperature-controlled smokeless moxibustion device is large in size and inconvenient to carry and store.

[0005] Existing moxibustion devices typically have the smoke outlet positioned at a certain height to allow users to easily access their body parts for moxibustion treatment. This requires a certain supporting structure or a large volume, making them inconvenient to store and carry.

[0006] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, providing a moxibustion device is a worthwhile research topic. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing moxibustion devices, which generally set the smoke outlet at a certain height to facilitate the user's body part to approach the smoke outlet for moxibustion treatment, require a certain support structure or have a large volume, and are inconvenient to store and carry. This invention provides a moxibustion device that achieves the technical effect of safely heating mugwort leaves and is convenient to carry and use.

[0008] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0009] A moxibustion device includes a moxibustion device shell, with a moxibustion port on the top of the shell, a moxibustion chamber inside the shell, and a ventilation device on the side or back of the shell.

[0010] The front of the outer shell of the moxibustion device is open, the moxibustion chamber is a drawer-type structure, the moxibustion chamber is slidably connected to the outer shell of the moxibustion device, and the outer shape of the moxibustion chamber is adapted to the inner wall shape of the outer shell of the moxibustion device.

[0011] A moxibustion disc is fixedly connected to the center of the moxibustion chamber. The moxibustion disc is fixed to the base of the moxibustion chamber by pins or bolts. The moxibustion disc is provided with several moxibustion column fixing devices for fixing moxa columns. The moxa column fixing devices include moxa column nails fixedly connected to the moxibustion disc, or metal triangular spikes formed by punching and turning upwards 90 degrees together with the moxibustion disc to seal the moxa products inside the moxibustion device for combustion, so as to avoid burns to the user during the heating of moxa leaves and improve the safety factor of moxibustion.

[0012] The moxibustion device can be used in various comfortable positions such as lying down, sitting, and prone, allowing users to perform moxibustion treatment in a comfortable posture and improving the comfort of using the device.

[0013] The ventilation device is located on the rear panel of the moxibustion device's outer shell. The ventilation device includes a vent on the front of the moxibustion device's outer shell. An adjustable ventilation valve is hinged to the outside of the vent via a pin structure. The shape of the vent matches the opening shape of the adjustable ventilation valve. The vent includes a fan-shaped vent and a circular vent. Rotating the adjustable ventilation valve adjusts the opening size of the ventilation device, thereby controlling the burning speed of the moxa stick and regulating the progress of moxibustion.

[0014] The moxibustion chamber (3) is a rectangular frame with an upper opening, consisting of four baffles and a bottom plate; a handle is provided on the front baffle; the front baffle is at the same height as the left and right baffles connected to it, and the rear baffle opposite the front baffle is at a lower height than the left and right baffles connected to it. There is a gap between the rear baffle and the inner side of the rear plate of the moxibustion device shell, so as to avoid the situation where the ventilation device is closed after the moxibustion chamber and the moxibustion device shell are fully fitted, resulting in the incomplete combustion of the moxa stick.

[0015] The left and right baffles of the moxibustion chamber are symmetrically provided with slots. A ginger slice support net is installed in the moxibustion chamber through the slots. The shape of the two sides of the ginger slice support net matches the shape of the slots. The ginger slice support net is located above the moxibustion disc and is kept at a distance from the bottom surface of the top plate of the moxibustion device.

[0016] The ginger slice support net has a mesh structure and is made of high-temperature resistant material. Both mugwort and ginger have warming properties, and their combined use can significantly enhance the effects of warming the middle and dispelling cold, thereby optimizing the effect of moxibustion treatment. The fireproof plate is located above the ginger slice support net.

[0017] A fireproof plate is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the top plate of the moxibustion device shell. The fireproof plate is located below the moxibustion port. The fireproof plate is made of high temperature resistant material. An opening adapted to the moxibustion port is opened on the fireproof plate. The fireproof plate (11) is located above the ginger slice support net (10) and plays a protective role for the moxibustion device shell, avoiding local carbonization of the top part of the inner wall of the moxibustion device shell, which affects the service life of the device.

[0018] 1. This moxibustion device encloses the mugwort product inside the device for combustion, thus preventing burns to the user during the heating process.

[0019] 2. With this moxibustion device, users can place their back or abdomen on the top of the device to perform moxibustion treatment on the body parts. They can also place their buttocks, feet, and other body parts on the top of the device to perform moxibustion treatment on multiple parts of the body and corresponding acupoints, achieving multi-directional moxibustion treatment for the user, thereby achieving health care and disease treatment.

[0020] 3. When a certain amount of ginger slices are placed on the ginger slice support net of this moxibustion device, the high-temperature smoke generated by the burning moxa stick will heat the ginger slices. Both mugwort and ginger have warming properties, and the combination of the two can significantly enhance the effect of warming the middle and dispelling cold. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. Example 1

[0031] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the moxibustion device includes a moxibustion device shell 1, a moxibustion port 2 on the top of the moxibustion device shell 1, a moxibustion chamber 3 inside the moxibustion device shell 1, and a ventilation device 4 on the side or back of the moxibustion device shell 1.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the front of the moxibustion device shell 1 is open, the moxibustion chamber 3 is a drawer-type structure, the moxibustion chamber 3 is slidably connected to the moxibustion device shell 1, and the outer shape of the moxibustion chamber 3 is adapted to the inner wall shape of the moxibustion device shell 1.

[0033] A moxibustion disc 5 is fixedly connected to the center of the moxibustion chamber 3. The moxibustion disc 5 is fixed to the base of the moxibustion chamber 3 by pins or bolts. The moxibustion disc 5 is provided with several moxibustion stick fixing devices 6 for fixing moxa sticks 7. The moxa stick fixing devices 6 include moxa stick nails fixedly connected to the moxibustion disc 5, or metal triangular spikes formed by punching and turning upwards 90 degrees together with the moxibustion disc 5. Several moxa sticks 7 are fixedly connected to the moxibustion disc 5 by the moxa stick fixing devices 6. By setting a pull-out moxibustion chamber 3 inside the outer shell 1 of the moxibustion device, the moxa leaf products are sealed. The burning of the mugwort is enclosed inside the moxibustion device, which avoids the risk of burns to the user during the heating process and improves the safety of moxibustion. The smoke produced by the burning mugwort comes out from the moxibustion port 2 at the top of the outer shell 1 of the moxibustion device. Users can place their back or abdomen on the top of the moxibustion device to perform moxibustion treatment on the body parts, or they can place their buttocks, feet and other body parts on the top of the moxibustion device to perform moxibustion treatment on multiple body parts and corresponding acupoints, so as to achieve multi-directional body moxibustion for the user, thereby achieving health care and disease treatment.

[0034] Furthermore, the moxibustion device can be used in various comfortable positions such as lying down, sitting, and prone, allowing users to perform moxibustion treatment in a comfortable posture and improving the comfort of using the moxibustion device.

[0035] The moxibustion plate 5 is made of high-temperature resistant materials such as metal, so that the moxibustion plate 5 can withstand the high temperature generated by the burning moxa stick during the moxibustion treatment, avoiding safety accidents caused by deformation or combustion of the moxibustion plate 5 in a high-temperature environment.

[0036] Both the outer shell 1 and the moxibustion chamber 3 of the moxibustion device are made of Russian white wood. The wooden moxibustion device will not produce harmful gases in a high-temperature environment, avoiding the situation where materials such as plastic and metal produce formaldehyde and other gases that may harm the user's body during the heating process. Russian white wood has strong toughness, and the outer shell 1 of the moxibustion device made of Russian white wood can withstand the weight of users of various weights. Moreover, Russian white wood can withstand a high temperature of about 160 degrees Celsius, which can prevent the high temperature generated during the burning of the moxa stick from damaging the outer shell 1 of the moxibustion device.

[0037] like Figures 2 to 8 As shown, the ventilation device 4 is installed on the rear panel of the moxibustion device housing 1. The ventilation device 4 includes a vent on the front of the moxibustion device housing 1. An adjustable ventilation valve 8 is hinged to the outside of the vent via a pin structure. The shape of the vent matches the opening shape on the adjustable ventilation valve 8. The vent includes a fan-shaped vent and a circular vent. By installing the ventilation device 4 with the adjustable ventilation valve 8 on the rear side of the moxibustion device housing 1, air is generated for the burning of the moxa stick inside the moxibustion device. The size of the vent can be adjusted by rotating the adjustable ventilation valve 8 to control the burning speed of the moxa stick, thereby regulating the progress of moxibustion.

[0038] The openings of the adjustable ventilation valve 8 and the ventilation openings are both circular arcs. By rotating the adjustable ventilation valve 8, the openings of the two can be staggered or the size of the overlapping surface of the two openings can be adjusted, thereby controlling the size of the ventilation opening.

[0039] The front side of the adjustable ventilation valve 8 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft by a pin. The adjustable ventilation valve 8 is rotatably connected to the ventilation port through the rotating shaft. The rear side of the adjustable ventilation valve 8 is fixedly connected to a knob. The surface of the knob is provided with anti-slip texture, making the rotation adjustment of the adjustable ventilation valve 8 more convenient and effortless.

[0040] Furthermore, ventilation devices 4 can be installed on both sides of the outer shell 1 of the moxibustion device, and ventilation openings can also be opened on both sides of the moxibustion chamber 3 to form a backflow and accelerate air circulation. Alternatively, ventilation devices can be installed directly on the front side of the moxibustion chamber 3, allowing users to directly adjust the size of the moxibustion chamber 3 by pulling it out and adjusting the size of the ventilation openings from the front side of the moxibustion chamber 3.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, the moxibustion chamber 3 is a rectangular frame with an upper opening, consisting of four baffles and a base plate. A handle is provided on the front baffle. The front baffle and its connected left and right baffles are at the same height. The height of the rear baffle opposite the front baffle is lower than the height of the connected left and right baffles. There is a gap between the rear baffle and the inner side of the rear plate of the moxibustion device shell. By limiting the height and position of the rear baffle of the moxibustion chamber 3, when the moxibustion chamber 3 is located inside the moxibustion device shell 1, there is a gap between the moxibustion chamber 3 and the ventilation device 4. Air can pass through the gap between the two and pass through the gap between the rear baffle of the moxibustion chamber 3 and the top of the inner wall of the moxibustion device shell 1 to enter the interior of the moxibustion chamber 3, providing sufficient fuel for the combustion of moxa leaves. This avoids the situation where the ventilation device 4 is closed after the moxibustion chamber 3 is fully fitted with the moxibustion device shell 1, which would prevent air from entering the device and cause incomplete combustion of the moxa stick. Example 2

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, the left and right baffles of the moxibustion chamber 3 are symmetrically provided with slots 9. The moxibustion chamber 3 is fitted with a ginger slice support net 10 through the slots 9. The ginger slice support net 10 is made of high temperature resistant material. The shape of the two sides of the ginger slice support net 10 is adapted to the shape of the slots 9. The ginger slice support net 10 is located above the moxibustion disc 5, and at the same time, it maintains a distance from the bottom surface of the top plate of the moxibustion device shell 1.

[0043] The ginger slice holder 10 has a mesh structure and is made of high-temperature resistant material. By setting a slot 9 on the top of the moxibustion chamber 3, when ginger slices are to be added during moxibustion treatment, the ginger slice holder 10 is assembled on the top of the moxibustion chamber 3, and a certain amount of ginger slices are placed on the ginger slice holder 10. The high-temperature smoke generated by the burning moxa stick will heat the ginger slices. Both mugwort and ginger have warming properties, and the combination of the two can significantly enhance the effects of warming the middle and dispelling cold, thereby optimizing the effect of moxibustion treatment. The ginger slice holder 10 can be assembled and used as needed to realize moxibustion. Example 3

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, a fireproof plate 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the top plate of the moxibustion device shell 1. The fireproof plate 11 is located below the moxibustion port 2. The fireproof plate 11 is made of high temperature resistant material. An opening adapted to the moxibustion port 2 is opened on the fireproof plate 11. The fireproof plate 11 is located above the ginger slice support net 10. By setting the fireproof plate 11 on the top of the inner wall of the moxibustion device shell 1, the heat generated by the burning moxa stick is prevented from directly acting on the wooden moxibustion device shell 1, thereby protecting the moxibustion device shell 1 and preventing local carbonization of the top of the inner wall of the moxibustion device shell 1 from affecting the service life of the device.

[0045] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0046] S1. Pull the moxibustion chamber 3 out of the outer shell 1 of the moxibustion device, insert the moxa stick 7 into the moxa stick fixing device 6 to fix it, and ignite the moxa stick 7. Then push the moxibustion chamber 3 into the outer shell 1 of the moxibustion device to seal the moxa product inside the moxibustion device for combustion, so as to avoid the user being burned during the heating of the moxa and improve the safety factor of moxibustion.

[0047] S2. Rotate the adjustable ventilation valve 8 to adjust the size of the ventilation opening, control the amount of air entering the equipment, and regulate the burning speed of the moxa stick 7 to adjust the efficiency of moxibustion.

[0048] S3. Users can choose the appropriate position as needed and align their chest, waist, buttocks, legs or feet with the moxibustion port for moxibustion treatment. It is suitable for various comfortable positions such as lying down, sitting, and prone, allowing users to perform moxibustion treatment in a comfortable posture and improving the comfort of using the moxibustion device.

[0049] S4. As needed, install a ginger slice support net 10 on the top of the moxibustion chamber 3 and place ginger slices on the ginger slice support net 10. The high-temperature smoke generated by the burning moxa stick will heat the ginger slices. Both mugwort and ginger have warming properties. The combination of the two can significantly enhance the effect of warming the middle and dispelling cold, thereby optimizing the effect of moxibustion treatment. The ginger slice support net 10 can be installed and used as needed for moxibustion.
