Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This technical solution relates to the field of moxibustion device technology, specifically to a height-adjustable moxibustion tool. 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 they complement each other in therapeutic effects. Moxibustion has many advantages, including simple operation, low cost, and significant effects. However, if the temperature is too high or the duration of moxibustion is too long, it can easily lead to burns, causing redness, swelling, and blisters. Therefore, a moxibustion device with adjustable heat is needed. Utility Model Content

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] 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.
[0022] Umbilical moxibustion mainly involves applying moxibustion with medicated plaster to the Shenque acupoint on the navel, falling under the category of moxibustion techniques. It utilizes the thin, highly sensitive, and rapidly absorbing nature of the navel skin, employing the pure yang heat of moxa to penetrate the skin and stimulate tissues. This harmonizes qi, blood, yin, yang, and organ functions, and unblocks meridians, thereby achieving the purpose of disease prevention, health maintenance, and treatment of deficiency-cold diseases.
[0023] The moxa cone, used in moxibustion, is a cone-shaped moxa product, usually with a hole at the bottom to create a backflowing incense-like effect when burned. Moxa cones are primarily made of moxa wool, which is obtained by repeatedly drying, pounding, crushing, and sifting moxa leaves to remove impurities and dust, resulting in a soft, cotton-like substance. During the production process, the moxa wool is pressed into a cone shape, and a hole is punched at the bottom so that the smoke can flow backward when burned.
[0024] There are no designs on the market specifically for raising and lowering moxa towers; they are all designed for moxa sticks. These are suspended moxa sticks with the sticks inserted and raised / lowered. Moxa towers, on the other hand, burn from top to bottom and are handmade. They cannot be inserted into steel bars. The moxibustion principles of moxa towers and moxa sticks are different. The heat from a moxa tower flows gently like water, achieving a "small fire generating life" effect for optimal moxibustion results.
[0025] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 . Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of an adjustable-height moxibustion device. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the connection structure of the bucket lid, knob, screw, and cage. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the moxibustion barrel.
[0026] To regulate the temperature during moxibustion, in some further specific embodiments, this invention provides an adjustable-height moxibustion device, comprising: a moxibustion barrel 100, a lid 200, a knob 300, a screw 400, and a hanging cage 500. The moxibustion barrel 100 is a stainless steel mesh cylinder. The lid 200 is mounted on top of the moxibustion barrel 100, and a first through hole is provided in the center of the lid 200. A threaded hole is provided inside the first through hole. The lower end of the knob 300 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw 400, and the other end of the screw 400 passes through the first through hole and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the hanging cage 500. When it is necessary to adjust the moxibustion temperature, rotating the knob 300 will raise the height of the hanging cage 500 to the desired height via the screw 400, thereby changing the temperature during moxibustion.
[0027] To facilitate the placement of the amulets, in some specific examples, the cage 500 has openings on its sides, allowing for easy placement and removal of the amulets. Multiple strip-shaped ventilation openings are also provided on the sides, top, and bottom of the cage 500, allowing the amulet smoke to dissipate quickly.
[0028] To prevent fire and smoke, in some specific examples, the upper and lower ends of the moxibustion barrel 100 are sealed, with the inner wall of the seal wrapped in fire-retardant tin foil to prevent burning moxa flames from falling onto the seal and causing burns. A smoke-blocking layer is wrapped around the outside of the moxibustion barrel 100 to filter moxa smoke and effectively reduce it. A stainless steel filter 120 is also installed at the bottom of the moxibustion barrel 100 to prevent falling moxa flames from landing on the body, while simultaneously allowing the moxa smoke to dissipate without affecting the effectiveness of moxibustion.
[0029] In order to fix the lid 200 to the moxibustion barrel 100, in some further specific examples, two fixing buckles 110 are provided at both ends of the top of the moxibustion barrel 100. The fixing buckles 110 are fixed to the moxibustion barrel by bolts and can be rotated. During the moxibustion, the fixing buckles 110 are rotated to be above the lid 200 to fix the lid 200 to the moxibustion barrel 100. When the moxibustion is finished, the fixing buckles are removed to take out the lid 200.
[0030] In this embodiment, the lower end of the hanging cage 500 is spaced 2 cm apart from the stainless steel filter 120, which ensures the stability of the moxibustion effect, and ginger powder can be placed in the interval to achieve a better therapeutic effect.
[0031] To enhance the effects of moxibustion, in some specific examples, the sealing edges of the moxibustion bucket 100, the lid 200, and the knob 300 are all made of bamboo. Bamboo is a natural material that is hard yet resilient, making it resistant to deformation and breakage. It does not produce harmful substances during use and is harmless to human health. It also has excellent breathability, which helps ensure complete combustion of the moxa cone and even heat distribution during moxibustion. Furthermore, it dissipates heat quickly, better maintaining the temperature of the moxa cone and preventing burns from overheating, while also ensuring optimal moxibustion results.
[0032] Although the description of this application has been quite detailed and particularly focused on the described embodiments, it is not intended to limit itself to any of these details or embodiments or any particular embodiment, but should be considered as effectively covering the intended scope of this application by referring to the appended claims and taking into account the prior art to provide a broad possible interpretation of these claims. Furthermore, the foregoing description of this application with respect to embodiments foreseeable by the inventors is intended to provide a useful description, and non-substantial modifications to this application that have not yet been foreseen may still represent equivalent modifications.
