Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion technology, and in particular to a moxibustion pen. Background Technology
[0002] Moxibustion, also known as moxibustion therapy or moxibustion method, is a treatment method that uses moxa sticks or cones made from mugwort leaves to stimulate acupoints or specific parts of the body with the heat generated by the moxa. By stimulating the activity of Qi in the meridians, it adjusts the disordered physiological and biochemical functions of the body, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. The mechanism of action of moxibustion is similar to that of acupuncture, and the two have complementary therapeutic effects. It has many advantages such as simple operation, low cost, and significant effects.
[0003] A moxibustion pen (also known as a moxibustion pestle pen) is a tool used in traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion therapy. It combines moxibustion with modern and convenient tool design. It is mainly used to achieve the effect of regulating the body through local warm stimulation. Its shape is similar to a pen or a small pestle. By loading burning materials such as moxa sticks or medicated moxa sticks into the pen tip, it can perform local moxibustion therapy by heating.
[0004] In existing technologies, when using a moxibustion pen for moxibustion, the position of the moxa stick inside the pen is generally fixed, making it difficult to control the movement of the moxa stick within the pen. This results in an inability to freely control the distance and temperature between the burning head of the moxa stick and the skin at the moxibustion site, which may lead to skin burns. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of difficulty in controlling the movement of the moxa stick within the moxibustion pen, which leads to an inability to freely control the distance and temperature between the moxa stick tip and the skin at the application site, potentially resulting in skin burns. Therefore, this invention proposes a moxibustion pen.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] The moxibustion pen includes an outer tube with a heat-resistant mesh fixedly connected to its bottom, and an inner tube installed inside the outer tube. The inner tube is fitted with a spring, and the top of the outer tube has a groove for inserting the inner tube. A limiting ring is fixedly connected between the inner walls of the groove, wherein the inner diameter of the limiting ring is the same as the diameter of the inner tube.
[0008] For the purpose of installing moxibustion sticks, preferably, the top of the inner tube has a through hole that penetrates the inner tube, and the through hole is used to install moxibustion sticks.
[0009] To facilitate adjustment of the moxibustion stick's travel, preferably, a ring is fixedly connected to the top of the inner tube, and one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ring.
[0010] To avoid affecting the installation of the moxa stick, preferably, a hole is provided in the middle of the ring, and the diameter of the hole is the same as the diameter of the through hole.
[0011] To secure the moxa stick, preferably, the bottom of the inner tube is provided with a retaining plate, and three retaining plates are provided in a ring and equidistant from each other, and the three retaining plates are arranged in an inverted cone shape.
[0012] In order to observe the movement of the moxa stick in a timely manner, preferably, a groove is provided on the outer side of the outer tube, and the groove is connected to the groove.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a moxibustion pen with the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This moxibustion pen works by inserting a moxa stick or medicated moxa stick into the inner tube through the through hole at the top of the inner tube and pushing it to the bottom of the inner tube to expose a section of the moxa stick. Then, after igniting the moxa stick, it is inserted into the outer tube through the groove at the top of the outer tube for moxibustion. After the moxa stick is ignited in the moxibustion pen, the user holds the outer tube with their thumb and middle finger, and the anti-scalding mesh contacts the skin of the area to be treated. The user's index finger is responsible for pressing the inner tube, and the compression spring in the inner tube controls the travel of the moxa stick in the moxibustion pen. This allows for free control of the distance and temperature between the burning head of the moxa stick and the skin of the treatment area, thus preventing skin burns.
[0015] 2. This moxibustion pen works by inserting the moxa stick into the inner tube through the through hole and pushing the moxa stick towards the bottom of the inner tube, so that the moxa stick passes through the retaining plate. During this process, the moxa stick continuously squeezes the retaining plate, causing the retaining plate to pop outward. When no force is applied to the moxa stick, the retaining plate rebounds and locks the moxa stick in place, so as to fix the moxa stick. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Example:
[0024] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model embodiment provides a moxibustion pen, including an outer tube 1, with an anti-scalding mesh 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer tube 1. The anti-scalding mesh 2 is in contact with the skin and is specifically fixed to the outer tube 1 by welding. It also includes an inner tube 3 installed inside the outer tube 1. The inner tube 3 is fitted with a spring 4, which is used to control the stroke of the moxibustion stick. The top of the outer tube 1 has a groove 5 for inserting the inner tube 3. The groove 5 penetrates the outer tube 1, and the diameter of the groove 5 is larger than the diameter of the inner tube 3. A limiting ring 6 is fixedly connected between the inner walls of the groove 5. The inner diameter of the limiting ring 6 is the same as the diameter of the inner tube 3. The limiting ring 6 is used to limit the spring 4. When the inner tube 3 is inserted into the outer tube 1, one end of the spring 4 contacts the limiting ring 6, so that the spring 4 can be compressed when the inner tube 3 is pressed. The top of the inner tube 3 has a through hole 7 for installing the moxibustion stick.
[0025] During use, the moxa stick or medicated moxa stick is inserted into the inner tube 3 through the through hole 7 at the top of the inner tube 3 and pushed to the bottom of the inner tube 3 to expose a section of the moxa stick. Then, the moxa stick is lit and inserted into the outer tube 1 through the groove 5 at the top of the outer tube 1 for moxibustion. After the moxa stick is lit in the moxibustion pen, the practitioner holds the outer tube 1 with their thumb and middle finger. The anti-scalding net 2 contacts the skin of the area to be treated. The practitioner's index finger is responsible for pressing the inner tube 3. The inner tube 3 compresses the spring 4 to control the stroke of the moxa stick in the moxibustion pen. This allows for free control of the distance and temperature between the moxa stick flame and the skin of the treatment area, thus preventing skin burns.
[0026] A ring 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner tube 3. The ring 8 is used to compress the spring 4. One end of the spring 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ring 8. A hole is opened in the middle of the ring 8. The diameter of the hole is the same as the diameter of the through hole 7, so that the moxa stick can be inserted from the ring 8 into the through hole 7. A retaining plate 9 is provided at the bottom of the inner tube 3. There are three retaining plates 9 arranged in a ring and equidistant from each other. The three retaining plates 9 are arranged in an inverted cone shape. The retaining plates 9 have a certain elasticity. When the moxa stick is inserted into the inner tube 3, the retaining plates 9 can hold the moxa stick tightly to prevent the moxa stick from falling. A groove 10 is opened on the outer side of the outer tube 1. The groove 10 is connected to the groove 5. The groove 10 is used to observe the distance between the moxa stick tip and the skin of the moxibustion site in time so as to make timely adjustments and prevent burns.
[0027] In use, insert the moxa stick into the inner tube 3 through the through hole 7, and push the moxa stick towards the bottom of the inner tube 3 so that the moxa stick passes through the retaining plate 9. During this process, the moxa stick continuously squeezes the retaining plate 9, causing the retaining plate 9 to pop outward. When no force is applied to the moxa stick, the retaining plate 9 springs back and locks the moxa stick in place, thus fixing the moxa stick. The separate structure of the inner tube 3 and the outer tube 1 makes cleaning and maintenance of the inner tube 3 and the outer tube 1 very convenient.
[0028] When using this moxibustion pen, insert the moxa stick or medicated moxa stick into the inner tube 3 through the through hole 7 at the top of the inner tube 3 and push it to the bottom of the inner tube 3 to expose a section of the moxa stick. Then, ignite the moxa stick and insert it into the outer tube 1 through the groove 5 at the top of the outer tube 1 for moxibustion. After the moxa stick is ignited in the moxibustion pen, the user holds the outer tube 1 with their thumb and middle finger, and the anti-scalding net 2 contacts the skin of the area to be treated. The user's index finger is responsible for pressing the inner tube 3. The inner tube 3 compresses the spring 4 to control the travel of the moxa stick in the moxibustion pen. This allows for free control of the distance and temperature between the moxa stick flame and the skin of the treatment area, thus preventing skin burns.
[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
