Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mask technology, and more specifically, to a moisturizing mask for moxibustion. Background Technology
[0002] Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy with a long history in my country. It utilizes the warmth and medicinal properties of burning mugwort to stimulate acupoints, achieving effects such as warming and unblocking meridians, dispelling dampness and cold, and regulating qi and blood. During moxibustion, a large amount of smoke is usually produced, containing volatile substances from the burning mugwort and fine particles. Therefore, moxibustion practitioners typically wear masks for protection.
[0003] Currently, the masks commonly worn by moxibustion workers are medical surgical masks and N95 masks. While N95 masks, made of dense meltblown fabric and other materials, effectively filter harmful substances, they also increase air resistance, potentially interfering with normal breathing. Furthermore, these masks offer only basic protection and lack moisturizing or heat-clearing effects. Even when wearing a mask, prolonged exposure to the moxibustion environment can easily lead to symptoms such as dry throat or lung heat.
[0004] In view of this, it is indeed necessary to provide a technical solution to the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a moisturizing mask for moxibustion, which addresses the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0007] A moisturizing mask for moxibustion is constructed, comprising a mask body with an internal accommodating space, wherein a first filter component, a second filter component, and a functional component are disposed within the accommodating space; wherein the first filter component and the second filter component are respectively used for preliminary filtration and secondary filtration of air; the functional component is located between the first filter component and the second filter component, and is used for humidifying the air passing through the mask body and adding medicinal components with heat-clearing function to the air.
[0008] As an improvement to the aforementioned moisturizing mask, the functional component includes a functional fabric sheet, which is formed by soaking gauze in a medicinal solution and then drying it.
[0009] As an improvement to the aforementioned moisturizing mask, the functional component includes an absorbent cotton pad with a sac inside containing a medicinal liquid. The medicinal liquid can be absorbed by the absorbent cotton pad by squeezing the absorbent cotton pad until the sac ruptures.
[0010] As an improvement to the aforementioned moisturizing mask, multiple bladders are provided, with the multiple bladders respectively distributed in the middle and on the four sides of the absorbent cotton pad.
[0011] As an improvement to the aforementioned moisturizing mask, the functional component includes an absorbent cotton pad, with a liquid guiding tube above the absorbent cotton pad, and the liquid guiding tube having multiple through holes along its length that face the absorbent cotton pad.
[0012] As an improvement to the aforementioned moisturizing mask, the liquid guide tube is connected to an injection tube, the end of which passes through the outside of the mask body to inject the medicine into the liquid guide tube and flow from the through hole to the absorbent cotton pad.
[0013] As an improvement to the aforementioned moisturizing mask, a container filled with liquid medicine is provided on the outer side of the mask body, and a control component is provided between the container and the liquid guide tube, which is used to adjust the connection and disconnection between the container and the liquid guide tube.
[0014] As an improvement to the aforementioned moisturizing mask, the control component includes a fixed seat with a cavity, a liquid guide tube communicating with the cavity, a canister rotatably connected to the fixed seat, the canister having a liquid outlet, and the fixed seat having a communication port. By rotating the canister, the liquid outlet and the communication port can be aligned and connected or misaligned and disconnected.

[0018] Meanwhile, the humidification function of the functional components can relieve respiratory discomfort caused by inhaling dry air, such as dry throat, dry nose, and sore throat, and maintain the moisture of the respiratory mucosa, which helps maintain the normal physiological function of the respiratory tract and improves wearing comfort.
[0019] In addition, the functional components add corresponding drug ingredients to the air, which, when inhaled by the user, help relieve lung heat. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, a clear and complete description will be provided below in conjunction with the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a moisturizing mask for moxibustion includes a mask body 1, with an internal accommodating space containing a first filter component 2, a second filter component 3, and a functional component. The first filter component 2 and the second filter component 3 are used for preliminary and secondary filtration of air, respectively. The functional component is located between the first filter component 2 and the second filter component 3 and is used to humidify the air passing through the mask body 1 and add medicinal components with heat-clearing function to the air.
[0033] Specifically, during moxibustion, when the user breathes while wearing the mask, outside air first enters the containment space of the mask body 1 and comes into contact with the first filter component 2. The first filter component 2 intercepts larger particulate impurities in the air, such as dust, pollen, and hair, thus initially purifying the air. The air that has passed through the initial filtration continues to flow to the area where the functional components are located. The humidifying part of the functional components, such as materials or structures containing moisture, increases the humidity of the air, making the dry air moist. At the same time, the functional components contain medicinal ingredients, which will be absorbed into the air through evaporation or dissolution, making the air moist and carrying the medicinal ingredients. Afterward, the air reaches the second filter component 3, which further refines the filtration of the air, removing residual fine particles, some microorganisms, and other impurities, ensuring that the air that finally enters the user's respiratory tract contains medicinal ingredients, maintains appropriate humidity, and achieves a high degree of cleanliness.
[0034] This invention, through the synergistic filtration of the first filter component 2 and the second filter component 3, effectively blocks airborne impurities and microorganisms of different particle sizes, significantly improving the mask's air purification capabilities, reducing the irritation and infection risk of external pollutants on the respiratory tract, and creating a relatively clean breathing environment for the user. The humidifying function of the functional components can alleviate respiratory discomfort caused by inhaling dry air, such as dry throat, dry nose, and sore throat, maintaining the moisture of the respiratory mucosa, helping to maintain normal respiratory physiological function, and improving wearing comfort. Simultaneously, the functional components add appropriate medicinal components to the air, so that the air inhaled by the user contains moisture and heat-clearing medicinal components, which can maintain the moisture of the respiratory mucosa and, through these medicinal components, relieve lung heat.
[0035] This moisturizing mask integrates filtration, humidification, and medication addition functions into one mask. Compared to single-function masks, it can better meet the diverse needs of users in moxibustion environments or other scenarios requiring respiratory protection and health care.
[0036] It should be noted that the functional components contain medicinal ingredients including loquat leaf essential oil, lily essential oil, sand ginseng essential oil, peppermint essential oil, and sterile water molecules.
[0037] In some embodiments of this application, the functional component includes a functional fabric sheet 41, which is formed by soaking gauze in a medicinal solution and then drying it. Specifically, the functional fabric sheet 41 is gauze; first, the gauze is soaked in a medicinal solution to allow it to fully absorb the solution; during the drying process, the water in the solution gradually evaporates, but the drug components adhere to the fiber structure of the gauze, thus obtaining the functional fabric sheet 41; when air passes through the functional fabric sheet 41, due to the airflow and the porous structure between the gauze fibers, the drug components are slowly released from the surface of the gauze fibers into the air, achieving the function of adding drug components to the air. Although dried, the gauze still retains a certain amount of water molecules, which gradually evaporate into the air as air flows through the functional fabric sheet 41, increasing the humidity of the air and thus humidifying the air passing through the mask.
[0038] By loading the medication in this way, the drug can be continuously and slowly released into the air during mask use, allowing the user to continuously inhale the drug components during breathing and enhancing the drug's effect. The humidification effect provided by the functional fabric 41 is relatively stable. Compared with some methods that directly add liquid water, the dried gauze will not release a large amount of moisture suddenly due to gravity or shaking. Instead, the moisture evaporates at a relatively uniform rate, keeping the humidity of the inhaled air within a relatively stable range. This reduces the adverse effects on the respiratory tract caused by excessively high or low air humidity, keeps the respiratory mucosa moist, and improves wearing comfort.
[0039] It should be noted that the medicinal solution is a mixture of drugs, prepared by mixing loquat leaf essential oil, lily essential oil, sand ginseng essential oil, peppermint essential oil, and sterile water molecules in proportions of 4 parts, 3 parts, 2 parts, 1 part, and 10 parts. The number of sterile water molecules can be set from 5 to 20 parts as needed, specifically 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20 parts.
[0040] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3As shown, the functional component includes an absorbent cotton pad 42, inside which is a capsule 43 containing a medicinal liquid. The medicinal liquid can be absorbed by squeezing the absorbent cotton pad 42 until the capsule 43 ruptures. Specifically, in the initial state, the capsule 43 is completely located inside the absorbent cotton pad 42 and stores the medicinal liquid. When the user needs to activate the drug release function of the functional component, pressure is applied to the capsule 43 by squeezing the absorbent cotton pad 42. Because the capsule 43 is made of a thin and elastic material, it will rupture after being subjected to a certain degree of external pressure. Once the capsule 43 ruptures, the medicinal liquid will flow out and be quickly absorbed by the surrounding absorbent cotton pad 42. The absorbent cotton pad 42 has good absorbency and a porous structure. After absorbing the medicinal liquid, the liquid diffuses through the fiber gaps of the cotton pad. As air passes through the absorbent cotton pad 42, the airflow carries the medicinal components volatilized from the surface and pores of the cotton pad, thereby adding medicinal components to the air. Meanwhile, the absorbent cotton pad 42 absorbs the moisture in the medicine during the absorption process, and the moisture will gradually evaporate during the air flow, thus humidifying the air.
[0041] Therefore, users can decide when to activate the drug release and humidification functions according to their own needs. For example, when entering a specific environment, such as a moxibustion site or a polluted area, or when experiencing respiratory discomfort, the squeezing operation can be performed to achieve precise release of the liquid medicine, avoiding premature evaporation and waste or continuous release when not needed.
[0042] In some embodiments of this application, multiple capsules 43 are provided, distributed in the center and on the four sides of the absorbent cotton pad 42. Specifically, there are five capsules 43, distributed at different positions on the absorbent cotton pad 42. When the absorbent cotton pad 42 is squeezed, causing the capsules 43 to rupture, the capsules 43 located in the center and on the four sides release the drug solution simultaneously. Due to their wide distribution, the drug solution can be absorbed in various areas of the absorbent cotton pad 42, avoiding the problem of uneven distribution caused by the drug solution concentrating in one place. For example, after the capsule 43 in the center ruptures, the drug solution diffuses to the surrounding areas, while after the capsules 43 on the four sides rupture, the drug solution diffuses to the center and the periphery, complementing each other, so that the absorbent cotton pad 42 can absorb the drug solution more comprehensively and evenly. By setting multiple capsules 43, the impact of the failure of a single capsule 43 or local compression differences on the drug release effect is reduced, making the drug release process more stable and reliable.
[0043] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the functional components include an absorbent cotton pad 42, with a liquid guiding tube 441 above it. The liquid guiding tube 441 has multiple through holes 442 along its length, facing the absorbent cotton pad 42. Specifically, the liquid guiding tube 441 is connected to an external medicine supply source. When medicine enters the liquid guiding tube 441, it flows within the tube due to gravity or external pressure. The multiple through holes 442 along the length of the liquid guiding tube 441 allow the medicine to drip evenly onto the absorbent cotton pad 42 at different locations. Through the multiple through holes 442, the medicine is dispersed into multiple small liquid streams, ensuring that the absorbent cotton pad 42 can fully and evenly absorb the medicine, avoiding situations where there is too much or too little medicine in certain areas. After the absorbent cotton pad 42 absorbs the medicinal liquid, on the one hand, the moisture in it gradually evaporates into the air, achieving a humidifying effect; on the other hand, the medicinal components in the liquid diffuse into the air along with the evaporation of moisture and the movement of air, thereby adding medicinal components to the air. When the air passes through the absorbent cotton pad 42, it comes into full contact with the cotton pad saturated with medicine and moisture, completing the transfer and exchange of medicine and moisture.
[0044] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the liquid guiding tube 441 is connected to the liquid injection tube 443. The end of the liquid injection tube 443 passes through the outside of the mask body 1 to inject the medicine into the liquid guiding tube 441 and flow through the through hole 442 to the absorbent cotton pad 42. Specifically, when it is necessary to add or replenish the medicine to the functional components, the user can inject the prepared medicine through the inlet of the liquid injection tube 443 on the outside of the mask body 1. The injected medicine flows along the liquid injection tube 443 to the liquid guiding tube 441 connected to it. The medicine entering the liquid guiding tube 441 will drip down onto the absorbent cotton pad 42 below according to the pre-designed distribution pattern through the multiple through holes 442 on the liquid guiding tube 441. The absorbent cotton pad 42, with its good water absorption, will quickly absorb and store the medicine dripping from the through holes 442. As air passes through the absorbent cotton pad 42, the water in the medicine absorbed by the absorbent cotton pad 42 gradually evaporates into the air to achieve humidification. The medicine components also evaporate and merge into the air, completing the process of adding medicine components into the air. This structural design of the functional components allows users to easily add medication to the components without removing the mask, ensuring that the mask continues to provide medication and humidification functions during use.
[0045] In some embodiments of this application, a container 451 containing a medicinal liquid is provided on the outside of the mask body 1. A control element 46 is provided between the container 451 and the liquid guide tube 441, and the connection and disconnection between the container 451 and the liquid guide tube 441 are adjusted by the control element 46. Specifically, the container 451 containing the medicinal liquid serves as a storage container for the medicinal liquid and is provided on the outside of the mask body 1. The control element 46 connects the container 451 and the liquid guide tube 441. When it is necessary to deliver the medicinal liquid to the liquid guide tube 441, the control element 46 is operated to connect the container 451 and the liquid guide tube 441. In the connected state, the medicinal liquid flows from the container 451 to the liquid guide tube 441, and then flows through the through hole 442 on the liquid guide tube 441 to the absorbent cotton pad 42. When it is not necessary to deliver the medicinal liquid, the control element 46 is operated to disconnect the container 451 from the liquid guide tube 441 to prevent accidental leakage or excessive evaporation of the medicinal liquid. After the absorbent cotton pad 42 absorbs the medicine, the moisture evaporates as air passes through its surface, humidifying the air. At the same time, the drug components evaporate and dissolve into the air, thus adding drug components to the air. Finally, the air filtered by the filter component enters the user's respiratory tract.
[0046] With this structural design of the functional components, users can easily control the supply of medication via the control unit 46 while wearing the mask, without complicated operations or the need for external tools. For example, when the respiratory tract feels the need for more medication or the air humidity is insufficient, the control unit 46 can be easily opened to allow the medication to flow in; conversely, it can be closed promptly when not needed, effectively managing the use of medication and improving the flexibility and convenience of use. In addition, the container 451 can store a relatively large amount of medication, ensuring a sufficient supply of medication to the mask's functional components for a longer period of time, maintaining stable medication evaporation and air humidification effects, reducing the inconvenience of frequent medication replenishment, and ensuring that the mask continues to perform well within a certain usage period.
[0047] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 9As shown, the control component 46 includes a fixed base 461 with a cavity 462, a liquid guide tube 441 communicating with the cavity 462, a canister 451 rotatably connected to the fixed base 461, a liquid outlet 452 on the canister 451, and a connecting port 463 on the fixed base 461. By rotating the canister 451, the liquid outlet 452 and the connecting port 463 can be aligned and connected, or misaligned and disconnected. Specifically, when it is necessary for the liquid medicine to flow from the canister 451 to the liquid guide tube 441, the user manually rotates the canister 451. The canister 451 rotates on the fixed base 461. As the rotation angle changes, the liquid outlet 452 on the canister 451 gradually approaches the connecting port 463 of the fixed base 461. When rotated to a specific angle, the liquid outlet 452 and the connecting port 463 are completely aligned. At this time, the liquid medicine inside the canister 451 flows into the guide tube 441 connected to the cavity 462 through the liquid outlet 452 and the connecting port 463. When the liquid medicine supply is not needed, the canister 451 is rotated in the opposite direction, so that the liquid outlet 452 and the connecting port 463 are misaligned, thereby cutting off the flow channel of the liquid medicine and preventing leakage. When the liquid medicine can flow into the guide tube 441, the liquid medicine flows along the guide tube 441 to the absorbent cotton pad 42. After the absorbent cotton pad 42 absorbs the liquid medicine, the water in it evaporates, increasing the humidity of the air, and the drug components volatilize and dissolve into the air. The air first passes through the first filter component 2 for preliminary filtration, then passes through the functional component to carry the drug and water, and finally enters the user's respiratory tract after secondary filtration by the second filter component 3.
[0048] The precise fit between the outlet 452 and the connecting port 463 ensures a good seal when the connection is off, effectively preventing leakage and evaporation of the medication. This ensures the safety and hygiene of the mask when not in use, avoiding waste and environmental pollution. Users can easily control the flow of medication by simply rotating the container 451. The operation is intuitive, requiring no complex skills or additional tools, and can be conveniently performed while wearing a mask.
[0049] In other embodiments, the tank 451, control unit 46, and injection pipe 443 can be provided simultaneously according to actual needs, to provide users with multiple ways to add medicine to the absorbent cotton pad 42.
[0050] Furthermore, in addition to the mask body 1 which already includes a canister 451, a control component 46, an injection tube 443, and a guide tube 441, a functional fabric piece 41 is added. This allows for the addition of medication to the absorbent cotton pad 42 after the drug components and water molecules in the functional fabric piece 41 have evaporated, so that medication can continue to be worn.
[0051] In some embodiments of this application, the first filter element 2 includes a nonwoven fabric layer sprayed with a bactericide. Specifically, the nonwoven fabric layer has a certain fibrous structure, which can perform preliminary filtration of the air. When air flows through the nonwoven fabric layer, larger particulate impurities, such as dust, pollen, and hair, are intercepted by the fibers of the nonwoven fabric, thereby playing a physical filtration role and reducing physical irritation and discomfort in the respiratory tract. At the same time, since the nonwoven fabric layer is sprayed with a bactericide, when the air passes through, the microorganisms in it will come into contact with the bactericide. The bactericide can inhibit or kill microorganisms, reducing the number and activity of microorganisms; reducing the content of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms in the air, and reducing the risk of respiratory infections caused by inhaling microorganisms.
[0052] In some embodiments of this application, the second filter element 3 includes a meltblown fabric layer sprayed with a bactericide. Specifically, the meltblown fabric layer has a unique fiber structure with small fiber diameters, forming a dense mesh structure. When air passes through this meltblown fabric layer, fine particles in the air, such as viruses, bacteria, even finer dust, and some harmful gas molecules, are intercepted and adsorbed by the fiber network of the meltblown fabric. Because the size of the fine particles is smaller than the gaps between the fibers of the meltblown fabric layer, they are blocked on the fiber surface or in the gaps, thereby achieving fine filtration of the air. Since a bactericide has been sprayed on the meltblown fabric layer, when microorganisms come into contact with the surface of the meltblown fabric, the bactericide will take effect, inhibiting or killing the microorganisms and enhancing the air purification capacity.
[0053] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
