Description
New type of moxibustion device Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a novel moxibustion device, belonging to the field of moxibustion technology. Background Technology
[0002] Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy. It mainly involves burning moxa wool, moxa cones, or moxa sticks made from mugwort leaves to generate heat that stimulates acupoints or specific areas of the body. This stimulates the flow of Qi (vital energy) to regulate disordered physiological and biochemical functions of the body, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases.
[0003] Moxibustion requires professional operation, as the general public often struggles to master the correct techniques. Furthermore, the burning of the moxa wool must be constantly monitored during application, requiring timely adjustments and replacements, making the process quite complex. Correct technique is essential to maximizing the effectiveness of moxibustion.
[0004] A moxibustion device is an instrument that can perform moxibustion automatically. Through automated control, it can perform moxibustion, allowing ordinary people to perform moxibustion at home.
[0005] However, whether moxibustion is performed manually by professionals or using a moxibustion device, there are some problems:
[0006] Traditional moxibustion procedures pose safety hazards (such as burns and fire risks).
[0007] Smoke pollution affects user experience and the indoor environment.
[0008] Linear smoke filtration can lead to incomplete filtration and pollution problems.
[0009] This is solely to address the issue of insufficient combustion of moxa wool, resulting in poor moxibustion effects.
[0010] Active adsorption of mugwort smoke cannot utilize the smoke (smoke is considered a carrier of the medicinal properties of mugwort).
[0011] Temperature control relies on human experience and lacks precision.
[0012] Positioning requires professional operation, which is inconvenient in home settings.
[0013] Professionals can only perform moxibustion with a maximum of two movements (1. Suspended moxibustion + pecking, 2. Suspended moxibustion + rotation, + suspended moxibustion + fixed moxibustion).
[0014] The moxibustion device can only perform a single moxibustion method, such as sparrow-pecking moxibustion or rotational moxibustion alone; it cannot perform rotational moxibustion and sparrow-pecking moxibustion simultaneously. Summary of the Invention
[0015] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel moxibustion device to solve the problems of moxibustion technique and pollution caused by insufficient smoke filtration.
[0016] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0017] A novel moxibustion device includes a rotating and telescopic mechanism that drives the moxa stick to rotate, extend, and move, enabling simultaneous rotational moxibustion and sparrow-pecking moxibustion, as well as suspended moxibustion.
[0018] A further improvement to this technical solution is that the rotary telescopic mechanism is driven by a DC motor.
[0019] A further improvement to this technical solution is that the moxibustion device used is equipped with a reflux smoke filter hood; the reflux smoke filter hood includes an inner hood, a middle hood, and an outer hood that are sequentially fitted together; smoke outlets are provided at the ends of the middle hood and the inner hood; the smoke folds and flows back within the reflux smoke filter hood; and filter cotton is provided between the middle hood and the outer hood.
[0020] A further improvement to this technical solution is that the upper end of the outer cover is connected to the external flue and a fan is installed thereon; the inner cover, middle cover, and outer cover are made of food-grade stainless steel.
[0021] A further improvement to this technical solution is: a food-grade silicone heat-insulating and anti-scalding pad is installed at the lower end of the outer cover.
[0022] A further improvement to this technical solution is that the fan and the rotary telescopic mechanism share a DC motor.
[0023] A further improvement to this technical solution is as follows: the rotary telescopic mechanism includes a push rod, a positioning ring, a positioning pin, an outer protective shell, and a power mechanism; a feed groove is provided on the surface of the push rod; one end of the positioning pin is installed on the positioning ring, and the other end cooperates with the feed groove; the power mechanism drives the push rod to rotate while simultaneously performing reciprocating linear motion; the feed groove is a helical groove; two helical grooves with opposite directions of rotation are provided; the two ends of the two helical grooves are connected by a transition section; through the cooperation of the positioning pin and the feed groove, the push rod performs reciprocating linear motion; the drive unit of the power mechanism is fitted with the push rod to perform power transmission.
[0024] A further improvement to this technical solution is as follows: the transition section is a straight groove; the positioning pin includes an integral cylindrical positioning section and a slip ring section; the cylindrical positioning section is rotatably installed in the rotating groove of the positioning ring; the slip ring section is located in the feed groove.
[0025] A further improvement to this technical solution is that the push rod is a hollow, non-circular hole structure; the drive part of the power mechanism includes a drive rod, which extends into the hollow structure of the push rod.
[0026] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:
[0027] This invention relates to a moxibustion device that incorporates a rotating and telescopic mechanism. This mechanism drives the moxa stick to rotate and extend simultaneously, achieving both rotational and pecking moxibustion, thus enhancing the effectiveness of moxibustion. During operation, the rotating and telescopic action increases oxygen supply, improving the utilization rate of the effective components in the moxa wool. Furthermore, the rate of rotation and telescopic extension controls the oxygen supply, thereby controlling the burning temperature of the moxa stick and maximizing the moxibustion effect through optimal temperature control.
[0028] The moxibustion device of this invention features a reflux-type smoke filter hood that causes the smoke to fold back and move slowly, allowing fine dust particles to settle and thus achieving smokeless treatment and reducing PM2.5 emissions. This reflux-type smoke filter hood effectively utilizes and controls smoke, which is beneficial for the widespread application of moxibustion devices.
[0029] The rotary telescopic mechanism of this utility model is equipped with a push rod and a feed groove on the surface of the push rod. It also has a locating ring and a locating pin working together. Driven by the power mechanism, the locating pin and the feed groove work together to guide and limit the push rod, so that the push rod can rotate and move back and forth linearly at the same time. This allows for both rotary moxibustion and sparrow-pecking moxibustion, thus improving the effect of moxibustion.
[0030] The power mechanism of this utility model's rotary telescopic mechanism includes a motor with an external drive rod. The push rod is designed as a hollow structure, and through the fitted cooperation between the push rod and the drive rod, the push rod and the drive rod always maintain a fitted relationship. This allows for power transmission even when the push rod is moving back and forth in a linear motion, ensuring the normal rotation of the push rod.
[0031] The smoke filter fan and the rotary telescopic mechanism of this invention share a single power mechanism. By using the same power mechanism, the number of power mechanisms required is reduced, thus saving space. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0042] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0043] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", "front end", "rear end", "both ends", "one end", "the other end", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0044] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0045] This invention relates to a novel moxibustion device that can rotate the moxa stick while simultaneously performing linear telescopic movement. By using this rotating and telescopic mechanism, it is possible to achieve both rotary moxibustion and sparrow-pecking moxibustion. Furthermore, it can also perform suspended moxibustion and other similar moxibustion methods.
[0046] This moxibustion device includes a rotating and telescopic mechanism, which drives the moxa stick to rotate while simultaneously extending and retracting linearly, thus achieving simultaneous rotational moxibustion and sparrow-pecking moxibustion. The rotating and telescopic mechanism allows the moxa stick to stop at a specific position for suspended moxibustion.
[0047] During use, the moxa stick is installed inside the moxa stick cylinder, which can be magnetically connected to the rotating and telescopic mechanism for easy installation and removal. The moxa stick cylinder is made of ferromagnetic material. After the moxa stick is installed into the cylinder, it is then magnetically connected to the rotating and telescopic mechanism. A magnet is placed at one end of the push rod of the rotating and telescopic mechanism to achieve the magnetic connection.
[0048] The rotating and telescopic mechanism is driven by a DC motor. The DC motor used is a low-power, intelligently controlled DC motor, capable of precise speed control while driving the mechanism. Oxygen supply is controlled simultaneously with the rotating and telescopic action, improving the utilization rate of the effective components of the moxa wool during combustion. Furthermore, the oxygen supply is controlled by the rotational and telescopic speed, which in turn controls the burning temperature of the moxa stick, with a temperature control error of ±1℃, thus achieving excellent moxibustion results.
[0049] To address the issue of smoke during moxibustion, this moxibustion device is equipped with a reflux-type smoke filter hood, which enhances the smoke filtration effect. The aforementioned rotating and telescopic mechanism operates within the reflux-type smoke filter hood.
[0050] As shown in Figure 9, the recirculating fume hood includes an inner hood 7, a middle hood 8, and an outer hood 9, which are sequentially fitted together. A smoke outlet is located at the inner end of the inner hood 7 and at the outer end of the middle hood 8. A smoke outlet is located at the top of the outer hood 9. Smoke enters the middle hood 8 from the inner hood 7, then enters the outer hood 9 from the middle hood 8, and finally exits from the outer hood 9; the overall flow path of the smoke exhibits a zigzag trajectory. Simultaneously, filter cotton 11 is placed between the middle hood 8 and the outer hood 9 to improve the filtration effect. Because the smoke flows in a zigzag pattern with a slow flow velocity, fine dust particles in the smoke settle during the flow process, resulting in a good filtration effect.
[0051] The upper end of the outer cover 9 of the return-flow fume hood is provided with a smoke outlet, which is connected to the external flue. A fan is installed at this location.
[0052] The inner cover 7, middle cover 8, and outer cover 9 of the recirculating fume hood are made of food-grade stainless steel. At the lower end of the outer cover 7 of the recirculating fume hood, which is the end that comes into contact with human skin, a food-grade silicone heat-insulating and anti-scalding sleeve can be installed to ensure the safety of human use and to achieve simultaneous release of heat radiation and drug efficacy while providing heat insulation and anti-scalding.
[0053] This moxibustion device utilizes a reflux-type smoke filter hood, allowing the use of moxa smoke without being disturbed by the smoke. After utilizing the medicinal effects of the moxa smoke, the smoke is treated by the reflux-type smoke filter hood before being discharged.
[0054] The fan on the return-flow fume hood is driven by a power mechanism, and this power mechanism can be shared with the rotary telescopic mechanism through multiple output ends of a reducer. The output shaft of the reducer is connected to the fan via a connecting shaft. The aforementioned rotary telescopic mechanism is installed inside the return-flow fume hood, with the fan and the rotary telescopic mechanism positioned roughly above and below the reducer. The reducer has output ends on both sides to achieve power connection with both the fan and the rotary telescopic mechanism. Using a single power mechanism reduces the need for additional power mechanisms, saving space.
[0055] As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 5, the rotary telescopic mechanism mainly includes a push rod 1, a positioning ring 2, a positioning pin 3, an outer protective shell 4, and a power mechanism. The push rod 1 is used to advance the moxa stick. A feed groove 5 is provided on the surface of the push rod 1, and the action is achieved through the cooperation of the feed groove 5 and the power mechanism. The positioning pin 3 can cooperate with the feed groove 5 on the push rod, allowing the push rod 1 to move along a preset trajectory. The positioning ring 2 is used to install the positioning pin 3. The positioning ring 2 has a positioning groove, and one end of the positioning pin 3 is installed in the positioning groove of the positioning ring 2, while the other end of the positioning pin 3 cooperates with the feed groove 5. The push rod 1 mainly moves and rotates within the outer protective shell 4. The positioning ring 2 is generally a two-half structure, as shown in Figures 7 and 8.
[0056] The power mechanism drives the push rod 1 to rotate. Due to the guiding and limiting effect of the positioning pin 3 on the feed groove 5, the push rod 1 simultaneously performs reciprocating linear motion. Thus, the push rod 1 drives the moxa stick to perform both reciprocating linear motion and rotational motion, achieving both rotational moxibustion and sparrow-pecking moxibustion.
[0057] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in the specific implementation, the feed groove 5 is set as a spiral groove; and two spiral grooves with opposite directions of rotation are set. The two ends of the two spiral grooves are corresponding, and then the two are connected by a transition section 6, so that the two spiral grooves form a closed groove with their ends connected, thereby enabling the push rod 1 to achieve reciprocating linear movement with the cooperation of the positioning pin 3. Here, the transition section 6 is generally set as a straight groove, which can smoothly complete the transition from one spiral groove to another.
[0058] The push rod 1 of the rotary telescopic mechanism needs to rotate. Driven by a power mechanism, the push rod 1 also moves in a reciprocating linear motion. Therefore, the drive unit of the power mechanism and the push rod 1 are not rigidly connected; instead, a fitted structure is used for power transmission. That is, the push rod 1 is designed as a hollow, non-circular hole structure, and the drive unit of the power mechanism extends into the hollow structure of the push rod 1. Specifically, the drive unit of the power mechanism includes a drive rod 10, which is connected to the motor of the power mechanism. The cross-section of the drive rod 10 is designed to fit the non-circular hole structure of the push rod 1, allowing it to extend into the hollow structure of the push rod. When the drive rod 10 rotates, it transmits torque to the push rod 1, causing the push rod 1 to rotate as well. The cross-section of the drive rod 10 is generally square or a regular polygon. The hollow structure of the push rod 1 is also a corresponding square or regular polygon. See Figures 3 and 4 for details.
[0059] The positioning pin 3 of this rotary telescopic mechanism plays a crucial role in cooperating with the feed groove 5. As shown in Figure 6, the positioning pin 3 includes an integrally formed cylindrical positioning section 3-1 and a slip ring section 3-2. The cylindrical positioning section 3-1 is a cylindrical structure that is rotatably mounted within the rotating groove of the positioning ring 2, allowing it to rotate around its axis after mounting. The slip ring section 3-2 is a slider structure, which can be considered a small segment of a ring. Located within the feed groove 5, the slip ring section 3-2 cooperates with it. The slip ring section 3-2 positions and guides the push rod 1. The cooperation between the slip ring section 3-2 and the feed groove 5 allows the push rod 1 to rotate and move up and down.
[0060] This rotary telescopic mechanism is equipped with a power mechanism to provide the power for movement. The power mechanism consists of a motor and a reducer, which reduces the motor's speed. The motor is preferably a DC motor. The motor's output shaft is connected to the drive rod 10.
[0061] This rotating telescopic mechanism, through the cooperation of the feed groove on the push rod and the positioning ring, can achieve rotation while moving back and forth in a straight line under the drive of the power mechanism, thus realizing both rotational moxibustion and sparrow-pecking moxibustion, improving the effect of moxibustion.
[0062] The drive rod of the power mechanism of this rotary telescopic mechanism, through its engagement with the push rod, can achieve power transmission while the push rod is moving back and forth in a linear motion, thus ensuring the normal rotation of the push rod.
[0063] When the aforementioned rotary telescopic mechanism is applied to a moxibustion device, due to the characteristics of its unique motion, it can achieve both rotary moxibustion and sparrow-pecking moxibustion.
[0064] This moxibustion device utilizes a rotating and telescopic mechanism, enabling simultaneous rotational moxibustion and sparrow-pecking moxibustion. Combining these two methods enhances the effectiveness of moxibustion on the body. Driven by a DC motor, the rotating and telescopic mechanism allows for precise motion control, thereby controlling oxygen supply and ultimately, the moxibustion temperature. The device features a reflux-type smoke filter hood, which allows the smoke to slowly settle and filter out dust after the medicinal effects of the moxa smoke have been effectively utilized, reducing emissions and improving the air quality during use. This moxibustion device offers excellent overall performance and is conducive to its widespread adoption.
[0065] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
