Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a moxibustion therapy tool that does not require cleaning. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional moxibustion therapy faces numerous technical challenges. Most traditional moxibustion devices rely on manual operation. During the burning process, the large amount of ash produced by the moxa sticks or cakes easily scatters, requiring frequent manual cleaning, affecting ease of use, and potentially causing burns from falling ash. Furthermore, the smoke produced by moxibustion contains a large amount of particulate matter; if not effectively treated, it not only pollutes the environment but may also be inhaled by the user, harming their health. Existing smoke extraction and filtration systems are often ineffective, failing to achieve efficient purification.

[0003] Furthermore, traditional moxibustion devices lack precise temperature control methods. They typically rely solely on the user's experience to adjust the distance and duration of moxibustion, failing to provide real-time, dynamic, and precise temperature control based on actual therapeutic needs and the tolerance levels of different body parts. This not only leads to inconsistent moxibustion effects but also carries the risk of skin burns due to excessive heat, limiting the safety and effectiveness of moxibustion therapy.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors have discovered the following drawbacks: Existing devices lack an effective dust-prevention structure, causing ash to easily fall during moxibustion, requiring regular cleaning by the user and causing inconvenience. Existing devices lack a complete smoke extraction system or effective filtration and purification measures, resulting in smoke filling the room during moxibustion, producing odors, and affecting the user experience and indoor environment. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a moxibustion therapy tool that does not require cleaning of ash. It has advantages such as automatic collection and processing of ash, precise adjustment of moxibustion temperature, and improved safety and convenience. It solves the problems of traditional moxibustion equipment, such as the need for manual cleaning of ash, poor smoke extraction, and inaccurate temperature control that may cause safety hazards and affect the therapeutic effect.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a moxibustion therapy tool that does not require cleaning, comprising: a moxibustion head assembly, which has a sealing assembly at the top and a combustion base assembly at the bottom;

[0007] The moxibustion head assembly includes an outer shell, a dirty water bottle, a robotic arm hinge, a stainless steel combustion cup, a moxibustion head, a first heat-insulating asbestos layer, a dust-proof mesh, and a smoke-proof outer shell. The stainless steel combustion cup has a smoke exhaust hole on its side wall, and the smoke-proof outer shell has a flue that communicates with the smoke exhaust hole. The dirty water bottle is connected to the inside of the stainless steel combustion cup through the flue.

[0008] The above solution combines a multi-layer insulation structure with flue condensation technology to effectively isolate high temperatures and adsorb oil fume impurities, reducing the frequency of cleaning.

[0009] The combustion base assembly includes a sensor mounting plate, a support base, and a ceramic heating rod. The bottom of the sensor mounting plate is equipped with a temperature sensor and an infrared ranging sensor, and the ceramic heating rod is vertically positioned directly below the stainless steel combustion cup.

[0010] The above scheme uses infrared ranging and temperature sensors in conjunction with ceramic heating rods to adjust the combustion distance and thermal efficiency in real time, ensuring a constant physiotherapy temperature.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the stainless steel combustion cup is fixedly connected to the moxibustion head adhesive part through the first heat-insulating asbestos layer, and its bottom is fixedly connected to the ash-proof mesh. The ash-proof mesh and the ceramic heating rod form a detachable connection structure.

[0012] The above solution allows for a modular design that integrates the detachable ash screen and the ceramic heating rod, facilitating the centralized cleaning of combustion residues.

[0013] Furthermore, the sealing assembly includes a moxibustion head cover, a locking block, and a second heat-insulating asbestos layer. The bottom sides of the moxibustion head cover are provided with rotating buckle structures that cooperate with the mechanical arm hinge. The second heat-insulating asbestos layer is fixed to the inner surface of the moxibustion head cover. The stainless steel combustion cup, the mechanical arm hinge, and the moxibustion head cover together constitute a sealed combustion chamber.

[0014] The above solution uses a rotating buckle and a double-layer insulation layer to create a sealed combustion environment, preventing smoke from escaping and reducing heat loss.

[0015] Furthermore, the sensor mounting plate is equipped with a control module, which is electrically connected to the temperature sensor, the infrared ranging sensor and the ceramic heating rod. The control module dynamically adjusts the heating power of the ceramic heating rod according to the temperature feedback signal.

[0016] Through the above scheme, the PID algorithm dynamically matches the heating power with the burning state of the moxa stick, achieving precise temperature control and energy-saving operation.

[0017] Furthermore, the dirty water bottle is equipped with replaceable multi-layer filter cotton, and the inner wall of the flue's condensate pipe is coated with an oleophobic coating.

[0018] The above solution combines an oleophobic coated condenser tube with a gradient filter cotton to efficiently separate oil fume particles and harmful substances.

[0019] Furthermore, the ceramic heating rod forms a sliding electrical connection with the conductive copper plate at the bottom of the stainless steel combustion cup through a conductive probe, and an insulating and heat-insulating layer is provided between the conductive copper plate and the moxibustion head adhesive.

[0020] The above solution, with its sliding electrical connection structure and insulating heat insulation layer, ensures stable power supply while blocking reverse heat conduction.

[0021] Furthermore, the rotating buckle structure includes an L-shaped slot at the bottom of the moxibustion head cover and a protruding block at the top of the robotic arm hinge, wherein the L-shaped slot and the protruding block form a rotating locking engagement.

[0022] Through the above scheme, the mechanical arm hinge and the locking block form a self-locking mechanism, enabling single-handed opening and closing operation while maintaining airtightness.

[0023] Furthermore, the stainless steel combustion cup adopts a double-layer hollow structure with a ceramic coating on its inner wall. An annular flow guide cavity is formed between the smoke-proof outer shell and the outer shell rubber parts. The flow guide cavity is connected to the dirty water bottle through an inclined drainage tube.

[0024] Through the above solution, the ceramic coating and the annular flow guide cavity work together to extend the life of the combustion cup and improve the smoke collection efficiency.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] This utility model incorporates components such as a stainless steel combustion cup, a smoke-proof outer shell, a dirty water bottle, and an ash-proof mesh. The smoke exhaust vent on the side wall of the stainless steel combustion cup connects to the flue of the smoke-proof outer shell, allowing the combustion smoke to flow into the dirty water bottle. The replaceable multi-layer filter cotton inside the dirty water bottle interacts with the oleophobic coating on the inner wall of the flue's condensation pipe, intercepting, adsorbing, and condensing smoke particles in the smoke. This achieves the goal of automatically collecting and processing the smoke generated during moxibustion through an integrated smoke filtration system, maintaining equipment cleanliness without manual cleaning. Components such as a sensor mounting plate, temperature sensor, infrared distance sensor, and ceramic heating rod are included. The temperature sensor at the bottom of the sensor mounting plate collects temperature signals in real time, and the infrared distance sensor monitors distance data, allowing the control module to dynamically adjust the heating power of the ceramic heating rod based on feedback signals. The double-layer hollow structure of the stainless steel combustion cup, together with the first insulating asbestos layer, forms a heat insulation system. Combined with the sliding electrical connection between the ceramic heating rod and the conductive copper plate, and the insulating heat insulation layer design, precise control of the moxibustion temperature is achieved. This allows the device to adaptively adjust the temperature during the physiotherapy process through an intelligent temperature control system, thereby improving the safety and therapeutic effect of moxibustion.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 The present embodiment of a moxibustion therapy tool that does not require cleaning includes: a moxibustion head assembly 1, which has a sealing assembly 2 at the top and a combustion base assembly 3 at the bottom;

[0037] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The moxibustion head assembly 1 includes an outer shell 101, a dirty water bottle 102, a robotic arm hinge 103, a stainless steel combustion cup 104, a moxibustion head 105, a first heat-insulating asbestos layer 106, a dust-proof mesh 107, and a smoke-proof outer shell 108. The stainless steel combustion cup 104 has a smoke exhaust hole on its side wall, and the smoke-proof outer shell 108 has a flue that communicates with the smoke exhaust hole. The dirty water bottle 102 communicates with the inside of the stainless steel combustion cup 104 through the flue.

[0038] The top of the stainless steel combustion cup 104 is fixedly connected to the moxibustion head adhesive part 105 through the first heat-insulating asbestos layer 106, and its bottom is fixedly connected to the ash-proof net 107. The ash-proof net 107 and the ceramic heating rod 303 form a detachable connection structure.

[0039] The dirty water bottle 102 is equipped with replaceable multi-layer filter cotton, and the inner wall of the flue's condensate pipe is coated with an oleophobic coating.

[0040] The stainless steel combustion cup 104 adopts a double-layer hollow structure with a ceramic coating on its inner wall. An annular flow guide cavity is formed between the smoke-proof outer shell 108 and the outer shell rubber part 101. The flow guide cavity is connected to the dirty water bottle 102 through an inclined drainage tube.

[0041] Please see Figure 6 The sealing assembly 2 includes a moxibustion head cover 201, a locking block 202, and a second heat-insulating asbestos layer 203. The bottom sides of the moxibustion head cover 201 are provided with rotating buckle structures that cooperate with the mechanical arm hinge 103. The second heat-insulating asbestos layer 203 is fixed to the inner surface of the moxibustion head cover 201. The stainless steel combustion cup 104, the mechanical arm hinge 103, and the moxibustion head cover 201 together constitute a sealed combustion chamber.

[0042] The rotating buckle structure includes an L-shaped slot at the bottom of the moxibustion head cover 201 and a protruding locking block 202 at the top of the robotic arm hinge 103. The L-shaped slot and the protruding locking block 202 form a rotating locking engagement.

[0043] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5 The combustion base assembly 3 includes a sensor mounting plate 301, a support base 302, and a ceramic heating rod 303. The bottom of the sensor mounting plate 301 is equipped with a temperature sensor and an infrared ranging sensor, and the ceramic heating rod 303 is vertically positioned directly below the stainless steel combustion cup 104.

[0044] The sensor mounting plate 301 is equipped with a control module, which is electrically connected to the temperature sensor, the infrared ranging sensor and the ceramic heating rod 303. The control module dynamically adjusts the heating power of the ceramic heating rod 303 according to the temperature feedback signal.

[0045] The ceramic heating rod 303 forms a sliding electrical connection with the conductive copper plate at the bottom of the stainless steel combustion cup 104 through a conductive probe, and an insulating and heat-insulating layer is provided between the conductive copper plate and the moxibustion head adhesive part 105.

[0046] This embodiment presents a moxibustion therapy tool that eliminates the need for manual cleaning. It comprises a stainless steel combustion cup 104, a smoke-proof outer shell 108, a dirty water bottle 102, and a dust-proof mesh 107. The combustion cup 104's side wall smoke vent connects to the smoke duct of the smoke-proof outer shell 108, allowing the combustion smoke to flow into the dirty water bottle 102. The replaceable multi-layer filter cotton inside the dirty water bottle 102 interacts with the oleophobic coating on the inner wall of the smoke duct condensation pipe, intercepting, adsorbing, and condensing smoke particles in the smoke. This achieves the goal of automatically collecting and treating the smoke generated during moxibustion through an integrated smoke filtration system, maintaining equipment cleanliness without manual cleaning. This is further enhanced by the inclusion of sensors. The device includes a mounting plate 301, a temperature sensor, an infrared distance sensor, and a ceramic heating rod 303. The temperature sensor at the bottom of the mounting plate 301 collects temperature signals in real time, and the infrared distance sensor monitors distance data. This allows the control module to dynamically adjust the heating power of the ceramic heating rod 303 based on the feedback signals. The double-layer hollow structure of the stainless steel combustion cup 104 and the first insulating asbestos layer 106 form a heat insulation system. Combined with the sliding electrical connection between the ceramic heating rod 303 and the conductive copper plate, as well as the insulation layer design, the device can precisely control the moxibustion temperature. This achieves the goal of improving the safety and therapeutic effect of moxibustion by adaptively adjusting the temperature during the treatment process through an intelligent temperature control system.

[0047] It should be noted that: the stainless steel combustion cup 104 provides space for the combustion of moxibustion materials. Its double-layer hollow structure and inner wall ceramic coating can effectively insulate heat and prevent corrosion. The dirty water bottle 102 is connected to the stainless steel combustion cup 104 through the flue and can collect the soot and impurities produced by combustion. The replaceable multi-layer filter cotton inside the bottle further filters the smoke and achieves the function of eliminating the need for ash cleaning. The ash screen 107 prevents ash from falling. The first heat-insulating asbestos layer 106 plays a role in heat insulation and ensures the safety of users. The smoke-proof outer shell 108 and the outer shell rubber part 101 form an annular guide cavity to guide the smoke to the dirty water bottle 102.

[0048] The moxibustion head cover 201 can be opened and closed by cooperating with the mechanical arm hinge 103 through the bottom rotating buckle structure. The second heat-insulating asbestos layer 203 is fixed on the inner surface of the cover, which can further insulate the heat. The sealing component 2, together with the stainless steel combustion cup 104 and the mechanical arm hinge 103, constitute a sealed combustion chamber, reducing heat loss and improving the moxibustion effect.

[0049] The sensor mounting plate 301 is equipped with a temperature sensor and an infrared ranging sensor. The control module dynamically adjusts the heating power of the ceramic heating rod 303 according to the sensor feedback signal to ensure that the moxibustion temperature is suitable. The ceramic heating rod 303 is vertically installed below the stainless steel combustion cup 104 to provide a stable heat source for the moxibustion material. The support base 302 serves to support the entire tool.

[0050] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0051] First, after the user turns on the device, the ceramic heating rod 303 of the combustion base assembly 3 starts to work, providing a stable heat source vertically to the bottom of the stainless steel combustion cup 104. At the same time, the temperature sensor and the infrared ranging sensor on the sensor mounting plate 301 start synchronously—the former collects the temperature of the combustion cup in real time, and the latter detects the distance between the device and the skin. Both feed the data back to the control module, providing initial parameters for subsequent heating power adjustment, and ensuring that the heat source is preheated in a suitable state.

[0052] Secondly, when the user fastens the moxibustion head cover 201 of the sealing component 2 to the moxibustion head component 1, the rotating buckle structure at the bottom of the cover and the mechanical arm hinge 103 are precisely locked. The stainless steel combustion cup 104, the mechanical arm hinge 103 and the cover together form a sealed combustion chamber. The second heat-insulating asbestos layer 203 on the inner surface of the cover cooperates with the first heat-insulating asbestos layer 106 on the top of the combustion cup. Combined with the double-layer hollow structure of the combustion cup, it effectively blocks heat leakage, creates a stable sealed environment for the burning of the moxa cake, and promotes the full volatilization of the moxa components.

[0053] Next, the ash produced by the burning of the moxa cake in the combustion cup is intercepted by the bottom ash screen 107 to prevent it from falling and affecting the physiotherapy; the smoke enters the flue of the smoke-proof shell 108 through the smoke exhaust hole on the side wall of the combustion cup. The oleophobic coating on the inner wall of the flue causes the condensate in the smoke to adhere. Then the smoke enters the dirty water bottle 102, where the replaceable multi-layer filter cotton further adsorbs impurities, realizing the separation of solid, liquid and gas produced by combustion. The dirty water bottle 102 is connected to the flue through an inclined drainage pipe to ensure that the condensate flows into the bottle naturally without the need for manual cleaning of ash and waste liquid.

[0054] Next, during the physiotherapy process, the temperature sensor continuously monitors the temperature of the combustion cup, and the infrared distance sensor provides real-time feedback on the distance between the device and the skin. The control module dynamically adjusts the heating power of the ceramic heating rod 303 based on the real-time data from both: if the temperature is too high or the distance is too close, the heating intensity is automatically reduced; if the temperature is insufficient or the distance is too far, the power is increased, so that the moxibustion temperature is always maintained within a suitable range for physiotherapy, while avoiding safety hazards caused by overheating or contact with the skin. The sliding electrical connection design between the ceramic heating rod 303 and the bottom of the combustion cup ensures stable power supply during adjustment and does not affect continuous heating.

[0055] Finally, after the equipment is turned off, the ceramic heating rod 303 gradually cools down, and the control module stops working. At this time, the sealing component 2 remains in the locked state. The double-layer heat-insulating asbestos layer uses the slight negative pressure formed by the residual heat to seal the residual smoke in the combustion chamber and prevent the spread of odor. The filter cotton of the dirty water bottle 102 and the oleophobic coating design of the flue allow the small amount of residual condensate to be retained naturally without the need for additional cleaning.
