Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nursing device technology, specifically a handheld anti-scalding moxibustion device. Background Technology

[0002] Moxibustion with moxa cones is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that uses cone-shaped moxa cones made of moxa wool to apply heat to acupoints. There are two methods: direct moxibustion and indirect moxibustion. Direct moxibustion involves placing the moxa cone directly on the skin at the acupoint and burning it, while indirect moxibustion involves applying heat with certain medications or other materials in between the moxa cone and the skin. Moxibustion with moxa cones has the effects of warming the meridians and dispelling cold, supporting yang and consolidating the body, unblocking the meridians and activating collaterals, raising yang and lifting prolapse, and preventing disease and maintaining health. It is suitable for the treatment and health maintenance of various symptoms such as cold syndromes, pain syndromes, prolapse syndromes, and deficiency syndromes.

[0003] When performing moxibustion with moxa sticks, it is important to pay attention to the distance between the moxa stick and the patient's skin, as well as the handling of ash and remaining moxa sticks, to prevent burns or fires. Moxibustion with moxa sticks is relatively simple to perform and suitable for self-care at home or treatment by professionals. Existing moxibustion devices, for convenience, simply place the stick directly on the acupoint without adjustment, causing the moxa stick to burn shorter and further away from the skin. However, proper moxibustion technique requires aligning the lit moxa stick with the acupoint and holding it 2-4 cm away from the skin, adjusting the distance according to the patient's comfort. Current technology cannot effectively control the distance between the moxa stick and the patient, affecting the therapeutic effect. Therefore, we propose a handheld, burn-proof moxibustion device. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a handheld anti-scalding moxibustion device includes a moxibustion cylinder 1 and a moxibustion cover 2. The moxibustion cylinder 1 and the moxibustion cover 2 are connected by a snap-fit ​​or threaded connection. When manually adjusting the distance of the moxa stick 4, the snap-fit ​​connection is used to prevent manual rotation from causing the moxibustion cover 2 to rotate. The threaded sleeve 9 is fixedly connected to the moxibustion cover 2. The bottom of the moxibustion cover 2 is provided with a fixing post 3 for inserting and fixing the moxa stick 4. The bottom of the moxibustion cylinder 1 has a moxibustion hole 6, the size of which is approximately the same as the diameter of the moxibustion cylinder 1. A removable mesh 5 is installed between the moxa stick 4 and the moxibustion hole 6 on the moxibustion cylinder 1. Since the mesh 5 is closer to the moxibustion hole 6, it can be directly removed from the moxibustion hole 6 for easy cleaning of moxa ash. The mesh 5 is used to prevent the moxa stick 4 from touching the human body and to prevent moxa ash from falling onto the human body; the mesh 5 is made of high-temperature resistant metal material.

[0024] A support plate 7 is provided between the fixed column 3 and the moxibustion cover 2. A threaded rod 8 is installed on the support plate 7, penetrating the moxibustion cover 2 and extending to the outside of the moxibustion cover 2. The support plate 7 is used to facilitate the installation of the moxa stick 4, to provide stability, and to prevent the moxa stick 4 from falling off the fixed column 3 or the threaded rod 8 from falling off the moxibustion cover 2 during rotation and adjustment. A threaded sleeve 9 is provided on the moxibustion cover 2, and the threaded sleeve 9 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 8. The threaded rod 8 is used to rotate and adjust the distance between the moxa stick 4 on the fixed column 3 and the human body.

[0025] A knob 10 is installed at the end of the threaded rod 8. The knob 10 has anti-slip texture and can drive the threaded rod 8 to rotate.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, a motor 19 is installed inside the moxibustion cover 2. When the distance of the moxa stick 4 is adjusted electrically, the threaded sleeve 9 is rotatably connected to the moxibustion cover 2. The moxibustion cylinder 1 and the moxibustion cover 2 can be connected by snap-fit ​​or thread. Because the motor 19 is installed inside the moxibustion cover 2, it can only drive the threaded sleeve 9 to rotate relative to the moxibustion cover 2, and cannot drive the moxibustion cover 2 to rotate relative to the moxibustion cylinder 1. The output shaft of the motor 19 is connected to the transmission wheel 20, and the transmission wheel 20 is connected to the threaded sleeve 9 through the transmission belt 21. The motor 19 drives the threaded sleeve 9 to rotate relative to the moxibustion cover 2 through the transmission wheel 20 and the transmission belt 21.

[0027] A battery 22 is installed inside the moxibustion cover 2. The battery 22 powers the motor 19 and is connected to a charging interface 24. A distance sensor 25 is installed on the inner wall of the moxibustion cylinder 1 to detect the distance between the bottom of the moxa stick 4 and the mesh 5. The battery 22 also powers the distance sensor 25, specifically an infrared distance sensor. By sensing the infrared radiation of an object, the infrared sensor can quickly determine the presence of the object and locate it. By detecting the distance between the lit end of the moxa stick 4 and the mesh 5, and considering that the bottom of the moxibustion cylinder 1 is in contact with the skin and the center of the mesh 5 is at a constant distance from the skin, the distance between the bottom of the moxa stick 4 and the skin can be calculated. The center of the mesh 5 is 1-2 cm from the skin, specifically 1.5 cm.

[0028] It also includes a remote controller 26, and a communication element 23 is installed on the motor 19. The communication element 23 is a wireless radio frequency receiver. The remote controller 26 controls the operation of the motor 19 and receives data collected by the distance sensor 25 through the communication element 23. The remote controller 26 is a wireless radio frequency remote controller. The remote controller 26 and the communication element 23 achieve control by modulating and demodulating wireless signals.

[0029] like Figure 3As shown, the remote control 26 is equipped with a display screen 27 for displaying the distance between the moxa stick 4 and the human body, a button 28 for adjusting the distance between the moxa stick 4 and the human body, and a button 29 for adjusting the distance between the moxa stick 4 and the human body. Automatic adjustment via wireless remote control avoids the influence of wired wiring on the stability of the moxibustion cylinder 1, and makes the controller more convenient. The distance is adjusted slightly when the skin feels hot and slightly when it doesn't feel hot enough. When the user stops adjusting, the distance sensor 25 records the distance between the moxa stick 4 and the skin in that state, assuming it is 3 cm. As the moxa stick 4 burns shorter, the motor 19 automatically lowers the height of the moxa stick 4, keeping it at approximately 3 cm from the skin. This not only ensures a good user experience but also guarantees the therapeutic effect of the moxibustion.

[0030] The moxibustion cylinder 1 is provided with a vent hole 11 and a second thread 13, and the moxibustion cover 2 is provided with a first thread 12 that matches the second thread 13. The vent hole 11 can prevent the moxibustion from being extinguished or incompletely burned due to lack of oxygen, and the first thread 12 and the second thread 13 facilitate the connection between the moxibustion cover 2 and the moxibustion cylinder 1.

[0031] One end of the mesh 5 is fixed by fixing block 14, and the other end is fixed by fixing block 2 15, and the mesh 5 is in an inclined state. When the mesh 5 is in an inclined state, the ash will fall and roll to one side under the action of gravity, preventing the ash from accumulating between the moxa stick 4 and the skin. Both fixing block 14 and fixing block 2 15 adopt a snap-on structure, which can be quickly disassembled.

[0032] The bottom of the moxibustion cylinder 1 has an outwardly expanding protrusion 16. A fixing sleeve 17 is fitted over the outside of the moxibustion cylinder 1. The fixing sleeve 17 is used to stick the protrusion 16 to the body surface to fix the moxibustion cylinder 1. A transparent film 18 is provided at the bottom of the fixing sleeve 17. When using, the transparent film 18 on the fixing sleeve 17 can be peeled off. The protrusion 16 has a ring structure. The design of the protrusion 16 makes it easy for the fixing sleeve 17 with adhesive function to fix the moxibustion cylinder 1, the moxibustion cover 2 and the moxa stick 4 to the human body as a whole.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
