Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an integrated massage and moxibustion device. Background Technology

[0002] To enhance the therapeutic effect, moxibustion should be performed simultaneously with massage during head treatment. Currently, the method involves fixing the moxibustion box to the acupoints on the head and then massaging the head with fingers or massage tools, so that the warmth of the moxibustion and the stimulation of the massage techniques act on the head at the same time. However, this method is inconvenient to operate.

[0003] The closest existing technology found to this application is a moxibustion device with massage function (CN118203505A), which includes a moxibustion cylinder and a moxa stick fixing seat disposed inside the moxibustion cylinder. The moxibustion cylinder includes a cylinder body and a moxibustion cylinder head. The moxibustion cylinder head is detachably fixed to the end of the cylinder body. The fixing seat can move axially back and forth within the inner cavity of the moxibustion cylinder. The rear part of the moxa stick fixing seat extends out of the outer cavity of the moxibustion cylinder from the rear part of the cylinder body. Ventilation holes connecting the inner cavity of the moxibustion cylinder to the outside are distributed on the side of the moxibustion cylinder head. When the moxa stick fixing seat moves backward, the air entering the inner cavity of the moxibustion cylinder from the ventilation holes in the moxibustion cylinder head can be discharged from the air outlet at the rear end of the cylinder body. Its advantages are: during moxibustion, it can be used for moxibustion therapy and massage function at the same time; and the spring plate is set on the inner wall of the moxibustion cylinder body, so that the outer wall of the cylinder sleeve is pressed against the spring plate, which can arbitrarily position the sleeve in any position within the inner cavity of the moxibustion cylinder body, making it safer and more convenient to use. Compared with this application, the above-mentioned prior art has the following shortcomings:

[0004] First, the existing moxa sticks cannot be seen burning inside the moxibustion tube. During use, the moxa sticks burn continuously and gradually shorten, but the burning status of the moxa sticks cannot be known (such as whether they have been extinguished, whether they have burned out completely, whether the moxa sticks have fallen off midway, whether the current height is appropriate, and whether the adjustment is reasonable, etc.). As a result, targeted adjustments cannot be made. When the moxa sticks become shorter or the current or adjusted position is not appropriate, the moxibustion effect becomes worse, and there is a problem that the moxibustion can only be adjusted blindly.

[0005] Secondly, the existing moxibustion cylinder has a spring plate on its inner wall that presses against the outer wall of the sleeve in the moxa stick fixing seat and can position the moxa stick fixing seat at any position in the inner cavity of the moxibustion cylinder. However, the spring plate may become less elastic during use. In particular, the spring plate will become fatigued and lose its elasticity after a long period of use, resulting in an unstable fixing position. Moreover, it is easily disturbed and affected by massage vibration.

[0006] Third, when using existing moxibustion devices, the ash from the burning moxa sticks may escape through the vents or scatter onto the upper ring, head sleeve, metal mesh, etc., during the massage motion, making it difficult to collect and causing cleaning problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] This utility model provides a head massage and moxibustion integrated device to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a head massage and moxibustion integrated device, characterized in that it comprises a bottom ring, a shell, a moxa stick socket, a cylindrical cover, and a lead screw; massage heads or massage claws are provided on the outer wall of the bottom ring in a circumferentially distributed manner; the lower end of the shell is detachably connected to the upper end of the bottom ring; the upper end of the cylindrical cover is open and installed inside the bottom ring; the bottom wall of the cylindrical cover is provided with a vent hole; a bearing hole section, a sliding hole section, and a combustion chamber hole section are sequentially provided inside the shell; the moxa stick socket has a screw tube, a baffle plate, and a pin connected in sequence; the baffle plate is located inside the combustion chamber hole section, and an observation port is provided at the combustion chamber hole section; the screw tube is slidably engaged with the sliding hole section; the lead screw is threadedly engaged with the screw tube, and a rotating head is provided at the upper end of the lead screw; the rotating head is rotatably connected to the bearing hole section through a bearing.

[0009] Furthermore, the lower end of the housing is provided with a first stepped hole, and the upper outer wall of the bottom ring is provided with a stepped portion; the upper end of the bottom ring is provided with a second stepped hole; the upper end of the cylindrical cover is provided with a retaining ring; the retaining ring is installed in the second stepped hole; the first stepped hole and the stepped portion are threadedly connected and can press the retaining ring tightly.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom wall is higher than the lower surface of the bottom ring.

[0011] Furthermore, the shroud is made of stainless steel.

[0012] Furthermore, the massage claw has rotatable ball bearings on the inner side of its lower end.

[0013] Furthermore, the massage claws have 6-10.

[0014] Furthermore, the massage claw is made of an elastic material.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] First, this utility model adopts a design different from the existing ones, and can also realize moxibustion and massage at the same time. Compared with the existing technology, its internal structure is simpler, the operation is more convenient, and the performance is more advantageous.

[0017] Secondly, this utility model has an observation port at the combustion chamber section during moxibustion or adjustment, which allows for real-time observation of whether the moxa stick is extinguished, whether it has burned out, whether it has fallen off midway, whether the current height is appropriate, and whether the adjustment position is reasonable. Therefore, it can avoid the problems of blind moxibustion and blind adjustment. It can be observed and adjusted reasonably according to the burning of the moxa stick and the actual requirements of the patient, making it very safe to use.

[0018] Third, because the lead screw does not move up and down during adjustment, but rotates and drives the moxibustion socket inside the housing to move up and down, the size of the all-in-one device will not change during adjustment, making it more aesthetically pleasing; at the same time, it is very stable when adjusted and will not be disturbed or changed by massage vibration.

[0019] Fourth, because the bottom of the moxa stick can extend into the cylinder to burn, the ash that falls from the burning moxa stick will only remain inside the cylinder and be collected. Since cleaning is only required inside the cylinder, cleaning is more convenient and simple.

[0020] Fifth, because the first step hole and the step portion are threaded together and can press the retaining ring, this utility model can not only fix and constrain the cylinder cover when the shell and the bottom ring are screwed into place, but also release itself when the shell and the bottom ring are disassembled and separated, and then the cylinder cover can be easily taken out. It is very ingenious, more user-friendly, very practical, and easier to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0033] Example 1: See also Figure 1-12 A head massage and moxibustion integrated device includes a bottom ring 1, a shell 2, a moxa stick socket 3, a cylinder cover 4, and a lead rod 5.

[0034] See also Figure 8 Multiple massage heads or massage claws 6 are fixedly provided on the outer wall of the bottom ring 1 in a circumferentially distributed manner.

[0035] The lower end of the shell 2 is detachably connected to the upper end of the bottom ring 1 (e.g., by snap-fit ​​or by thread).

[0036] See also Figure 10 The cylindrical cover 4 has an open top and is installed inside the bottom ring 1; the bottom wall 4-1 of the cylindrical cover 4 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 4-2. Specifically, the diameter of the ventilation holes 4-2 is 1-2 mm.

[0037] See also Figure 9 The housing 2 is provided with a bearing hole section 2-1, a sliding hole section 2-2 and a combustion chamber hole section 2-3 in sequence from top to bottom.

[0038] See also Figure 11 The moxibustion socket 3 has a screw tube 3-1, a baffle plate 3-2 and a pin 3-3 connected from top to bottom;

[0039] The baffle 3-2 is located inside the combustion chamber section 2-3, and an observation port 2-4 is provided at the combustion chamber section 2-3.

[0040] See also Figure 3-4 Specifically, the solenoid 3-1 is slidably fitted with the sliding hole section 2-2; the lead screw 5 is threadedly fitted with the solenoid 3-1. See also... Figure 12 A rotating head 5-1 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the lead screw 5. (See also...) Figure 3-4 The rotating head 5-1 is rotatably connected to the bearing hole section 2-1 via a bearing 7. When the rotating head 5-1 is rotated, the lead screw 5 rotates, causing the screw tube 3-1 to move upward or downward relative to the lead screw 5 in the sliding hole section 2-2, thereby adjusting the height of the moxibustion socket 3 and its pin 3-3. If the rotating head 5-1 rotates clockwise for upward adjustment, then rotating the rotating head 5-1 rotates counterclockwise for downward adjustment (for comparison). Figure 3 and Figure 6 ).

[0041] The usage steps of this embodiment are as follows:

[0042] S10. First, disassemble and separate the bottom ring 1 from the housing 2.

[0043] S20. Insert the moxa stick 8 into the pin 3-3 of the moxa stick socket 3 and light the bottom of the moxa stick;

[0044] S30. First, connect and fix the bottom ring 1 to the shell 2. At this time, the bottom of the moxibustion column 8 extends into the cylinder cover 4 (see reference). Figure 1 , Figure 3-4 );

[0045] S40. Observe from the observation port 2-4 at the combustion chamber section 2-3 whether the height between the molar and the bottom wall 4-1 of the cylinder cover 4 is appropriate. If it is appropriate, no adjustment is needed; if it is not appropriate, adjust it to the appropriate position by rotating the rotating head 5-1.

[0046] S50, Hold the shell 2 and perform moxibustion and massage on the patient's head;

[0047] S60. During moxibustion massage, if the moxa stick is observed to continuously shorten after burning and adjustment is needed, rotate the rotating head 5-1 to lower the moxa stick to the appropriate position (see [reference]). Figure 6 );

[0048] S70. When the moxa stick has burned out or moxibustion is stopped, the bottom ring 1 can be disassembled from the shell 2, and then the moxa ash inside the cylinder 4 can be cleaned and disinfected (see [reference]). Figure 7 ).

[0049] In this embodiment, during use, the moxa stick is inserted into the pin 3-3 of the moxa stick socket 3 and contacts the baffle 3-2, while the bottom of the moxa stick extends into the cylinder shroud 4 to burn. Moxibustion is achieved by contacting or approaching the scalp through the bottom ring 1. The smoke from the burning moxa is emitted and diffused through the vent 4-2 on the bottom wall 4-1 of the cylinder shroud 4, while maintaining a certain distance between the moxa stick and the scalp, allowing for contact absorption by the skin surface. The heat is emitted gently and safely. Furthermore, the scalp is massaged simultaneously via the massage head or massage claws 6 during moxibustion, thus enabling this integrated device to perform moxibustion and massage at the same time.

[0050] In this embodiment, a comparison can be made. Figure 3 and Figure 6 When the height of the moxa stick needs to be adjusted, the rotating head 5-1 of the lead screw 5 can be operated to rotate the lead screw 5, causing the screw tube 3-1 to move up or down relative to the lead screw 5 in the sliding hole section 2-2, thereby adjusting the height of the moxa stick socket 3 and its pin 3-3. During adjustment, the burning part of the moxa stick in the combustion chamber section 2-3 can be observed through the observation port 2-4, allowing for simultaneous observation and adjustment to bring the moxa stick to the optimal position. With this structure, since the lead screw 5 does not move up or down during adjustment, the overall size of the device remains unchanged, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Furthermore, once adjusted, it is very stable and not affected by massage vibrations. Therefore, this embodiment is completely different from existing adjustment structure designs, solving the problem of insufficient elasticity that may occur when using spring plates for fixation in existing technologies. In particular, the spring plates may fatigue and lose elasticity over time, leading to unstable fixing positions and potential interference during massage vibrations.

[0051] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3-6 During moxibustion or adjustment, observation ports 2-4 are provided at the combustion chamber holes 2-3 to observe in real time whether the moxa stick has extinguished, whether it has burned out, whether it has fallen midway, whether the current height is appropriate, and whether the adjustment position is reasonable. Therefore, it can avoid the problems of blind moxibustion and blind adjustment. Thus, this embodiment solves the problems of existing technology where the burning of the moxa stick cannot be seen, the burning status of the moxa stick cannot be known (such as whether it has extinguished, whether it has burned out, whether it has fallen midway, whether the current height is appropriate, and whether the adjustment is reasonable), and thus cannot be adjusted in a targeted manner. Furthermore, the moxibustion effect is reduced when the moxa stick becomes shorter or the current or adjusted position is unsuitable, and only blind moxibustion and position adjustment can be performed.

[0052] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3-7 Because the bottom of the moxa stick can extend into the cylinder 4 for combustion, the ash that falls from the burning moxa stick will only remain inside the cylinder 4 and be collected. Since cleaning only requires cleaning the inside of the cylinder 4, cleaning is much easier and simpler. Therefore, this embodiment solves the problem in existing technologies where, during moxibustion and massage, the ash from the burning moxa stick may escape through the vent or scatter among multiple internal parts, becoming dispersed in different locations and unable to be collected, resulting in cumbersome cleaning.

[0053] Comparable Figure 3 and Figure 6However, there is no uniform standard for the distance between moxibustion and the skin. Because the heat intensity of moxibustion varies, and each person's perception of heat differs, the ideal distance is generally 3-5 cm or 7-8 cm. Adjustments need to be made based on the heat intensity and the patient's temperature tolerance. For example, if the moxa stick has a stronger heat, it can be moved further away; if the heat is weaker, it can be moved closer. Therefore, during moxibustion, the position of the moxa stick 8 within the combustion chamber segment 2-3 can be observed through the observation port 2-4 to ensure it is appropriate. The height of the moxa stick 8 can be adjusted by rotating the rotating head 5-1 to meet different needs. This adaptability allows for timely detection and adjustment, ensuring that the appropriate distance is maintained throughout the moxibustion process.

[0054] Example 2: This example is a further improvement on Example 1:

[0055] See also Figure 4-6 Furthermore, the lower end of the shell 2 is provided with a first stepped hole 2-5, and the upper outer wall of the bottom ring 1 is provided with a stepped portion 1-1; the upper end of the bottom ring 1 is provided with a second stepped hole 1-2; the upper end of the cylindrical cover 4 is provided with a retaining ring 4-3; the retaining ring 4-3 is installed in the second stepped hole 1-2; the first stepped hole 2-5 and the stepped portion 1-1 are threadedly connected and can press the retaining ring 4-3 tightly.

[0056] See also Figure 6 Because the first stepped hole 2-5 and the stepped portion 1-1 are threaded together, with the first stepped hole 2-5 having a threaded hole and the stepped portion 1-1 having an external thread, locking is achieved through screwing; simultaneously, the parts can be separated and opened by rotation. During tightening, the stepped surfaces contact and limit the movement, ensuring that the retaining ring 4-3 is properly tightened when fully engaged. See also... Figure 7 After the parts are separated and opened, the sleeve 4 can be easily removed upwards from the second step hole 1-2, making it easy to clean and disinfect separately. Therefore, it can both fix and constrain the sleeve 4 when the shell 2 and the bottom ring 1 are screwed into place, and can also loosen itself when the shell 2 and the bottom ring 1 are disassembled and separated, and then the sleeve 4 can be easily removed. It is very ingenious, more user-friendly, very practical, and easier to operate.

[0057] Furthermore, the bottom wall 4-1 is higher than the lower surface of the bottom ring 1. When the bottom ring 1 contacts the scalp, there is a certain safe gap between the bottom wall 4-1 and the scalp to avoid burns. At the same time, during massage and moxibustion, the lower surface of the bottom ring 1 can be kept in contact with the scalp, reducing the difficulty of operation and allowing for reasonable control of the distance between the moxa stick and the scalp.

[0058] Preferably, the distance between the bottom wall 4-1 and the lower surface of the bottom ring 1 is 0.5-1 cm.

[0059] Furthermore, the cylindrical cover 4 is made of stainless steel. This prevents the cylindrical cover 4 from rusting and also prevents it from burning.

[0060] Example 3: This example is a further improvement on Example 1 or Example 2:

[0061] Furthermore, the massage claw 6 has a rotatable ball bearing 6-1 rotatably disposed on the inner side of its lower end. The ball bearing 6-1 of the massage claw 6 makes rolling contact with the scalp for a more comfortable massage.

[0062] Furthermore, the massage claws 6 have 6-10 parts. This allows for simultaneous massage of multiple areas, improving the overall effect.

[0063] Furthermore, the massage claw 6 is made of an elastic material. This improves comfort and allows for adaptive deformation to massage according to head size, making it more practical. In this embodiment, the massage claw 6 is approximately C-shaped.
