Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a convenient abdominal acupoint location and adjustable temperature moxibustion device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, when performing abdominal moxibustion, it is often necessary to use a moxibustion device. Traditional moxibustion devices resemble a steamer. When using them, a large amount of ginger powder and moxa wool are placed on the metal mesh at the bottom of the inner end of the device, and then the device is placed on the patient's abdomen for fumigation. However, since some treatments only require targeted fumigation of certain acupoints, traditional moxibustion devices are not convenient for locating acupoints and performing individual fumigation on fixed acupoints. Using a large amount of ginger powder and moxa wool for moxibustion is quite wasteful. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a convenient, adjustable-temperature moxibustion device for locating acupoints on the abdomen, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a convenient abdominal acupoint positioning and adjustable temperature moxibustion device, comprising a main moxibustion box, a lifting seat, a first acupoint positioning seat, a second acupoint positioning seat, and a secondary moxibustion box. The main moxibustion box has a lifting groove and a temperature sensor located at its inner end, with the temperature sensor positioned at the bottom of the inner end of the main moxibustion box to monitor the bottom temperature. A screw is installed in the lifting groove, and the screw is connected to a motor and the lifting seat. The lifting seat has a first mesh plate and an insert block, which intersects with a slot on the first acupoint positioning seat. In conjunction with the connection, the first acupoint positioning seat is also provided with positioning holes and locking holes, wherein there are several locking holes. The second acupoint positioning seat is also provided with several locking holes. The shape of the first acupoint positioning seat is cross-shaped, and the positioning hole is located at the center intersection of the first acupoint positioning seat, which is used to locate the Shenque acupoint. The locking hole is engaged with the spring locking block provided on the auxiliary moxibustion box and the second acupoint positioning seat. The auxiliary moxibustion box is provided with a second mesh plate. Both the first acupoint positioning seat and the second acupoint positioning seat are printed with scale lines for judging the distance of the acupoint.
[0005] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When using this utility model, it can satisfy the moxibustion treatment of large-area application of ginger powder and moxa wool, and can also install the auxiliary moxibustion box at the predetermined acupoint for individual fumigation, thereby improving the convenience of moxibustion treatment and reducing the waste of ginger powder and moxa wool.

[0009] To facilitate the installation and removal of the first acupoint positioning seat:
[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the slots are opened at both ends of the longitudinal part of the first acupoint positioning seat, and the slots at both ends are connected to the plugs set at the corresponding positions of the inner end of the lifting seat.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: after the plug and slot are connected, the first acupoint positioning seat can be installed and fixed inside the lifting seat. Similarly, the reverse operation can be performed to disassemble it.
[0012] To facilitate the installation and fixation of the auxiliary moxibustion box:
[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the number of auxiliary moxibustion boxes is six. The six auxiliary moxibustion boxes are respectively installed on both sides of the horizontal part of the first acupoint positioning seat for moxibustion of Tianshu acupoint, installed below the vertical part of the first acupoint positioning seat for moxibustion of Qihai acupoint and Guanyuan acupoint, and installed on both sides of the second acupoint positioning seat for moxibustion of Guilai acupoint. Each auxiliary moxibustion box is provided with a notch for reading the scale line and a spring block that engages with the card hole.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: When locating acupoints on the patient's abdomen, the distance is measured by the width of a finger. Then, based on the Shenque acupoint at the navel, the distance to each acupoint is estimated. The auxiliary moxibustion box can be fixed by simply installing it at the designated scale and engaging the spring clip with the corresponding locking hole. This allows medical staff to use the auxiliary moxibustion box to hold ginger powder and moxa wool to perform individual fumigation and moxibustion on the patient's fixed acupoints.

[0017] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the detachable second acupoint positioning seat makes it easy to adjust the position of the second acupoint positioning seat according to the different acupoints of different patients.
[0018] To facilitate adjustment of the height of the adjustable seat:
[0019] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the motor is located inside the main moxibustion box, and the output end of the motor is connected to the screw located in the lifting groove through a coupling. The external extension end of the lifting seat located at the inner end of the main moxibustion box passes through the lifting groove and is connected to the screw. The outer wall thread of the screw is compatible with the inner wall thread of the lifting seat.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: after the motor is started, it can drive the screw to rotate, and the lifting seat can move up and down inside the main moxibustion box along with the screw to adjust the fumigation height and avoid burning the patient when the temperature is too high.
[0021] To facilitate automatic adjustment of the fumigation distance based on temperature:
[0022] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the outer end of the main moxibustion box is provided with a handle, an operation panel and a charging port. The operation panel is used to set and display the target temperature for moxibustion, while the charging port is connected to the storage battery inside the main moxibustion box for connecting an external power source to charge the storage battery so that the storage battery can power the entire system. The motor, operation panel and temperature sensor are all electrically connected to the microprocessor inside the main moxibustion box. The microprocessor, as the control center of the system, is responsible for receiving signals from the operation panel and temperature controller and outputting control signals to the motor.
[0023] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: Before moxibustion, after setting the target temperature by pressing the operation button on the control panel, the temperature sensor at the bottom of the main moxibustion box can monitor the internal temperature in real time and send the temperature signal to the microprocessor. After receiving the signal from the temperature sensor, the microprocessor compares it with the target temperature. If the monitored temperature is higher than the target temperature, the microprocessor will output a control signal to the motor. After receiving the control signal from the microprocessor, the motor drives the screw to rotate, causing the lifting seat to rise, thereby increasing the distance between the lifting seat and the skin and preventing the burning ginger powder and moxa wool from easily burning the patient's skin at high temperatures. When the temperature drops below the target temperature, the microprocessor will stop outputting the control signal to the motor, and the lifting seat will stop rising and falling.

[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model in any way.
[0034] like Figure 1-5As shown, a convenient abdominal acupoint positioning and adjustable temperature moxibustion device includes a main moxibustion box 1, a lifting seat 2, a first acupoint positioning seat 3, a second acupoint positioning seat 4, and a secondary moxibustion box 5. The main moxibustion box 1 has a lifting groove 6 and a temperature sensor 9 located at the bottom of the inner end of the main moxibustion box 1 to monitor the bottom temperature. A screw 7 is installed in the lifting groove 6 and is connected to a motor 8 and the lifting seat 2. The lifting seat 2 has a first mesh plate 10 and an insert block 11. The insert block 11 is connected to a slot 12 on the first acupoint positioning seat 3. The first acupoint positioning seat 3 also has positioning holes 13 and locking holes 14, with several locking holes 14. The second acupoint positioning seat 4 also has similar features. The device has several locking holes 14. The first acupoint positioning seat 3 is cross-shaped, and the positioning hole 13 is located at the center intersection of the first acupoint positioning seat 3 for locating the Shenque acupoint. The locking holes 14 are engaged with the spring locking blocks 15 provided on the auxiliary moxibustion box 5 and the second acupoint positioning seat 4. The auxiliary moxibustion box 5 is provided with a second mesh plate 16. Both the first acupoint positioning seat 3 and the second acupoint positioning seat 4 are printed with scale lines 19 for judging the distance to the acupoint. When using this utility model, it can satisfy the moxibustion treatment of large-area application of ginger powder and moxa wool, and can also install the auxiliary moxibustion box 5 at the predetermined acupoint for individual fumigation, thereby improving the convenience of moxibustion treatment and reducing the waste of ginger powder and moxa wool. The first mesh plate 10 is provided at the inner end of the lifting seat 2. The bottom is where the first mesh plate 10 and the second mesh plate 16 are located. Both the first mesh plate 10 and the second mesh plate 16 facilitate the placement of ginger powder and moxa wool. The establishment of the first mesh plate 10 at the bottom of the inner end of the lifting seat 2 and the second mesh plate 16 at the bottom of the inner end of the secondary moxibustion box 5 can support the ginger powder and moxa wool for moxibustion. The slots 12 are located at both ends of the longitudinal part of the first acupoint positioning seat 3. The slots 12 at both ends are connected to the corresponding inserts 11 at the inner end of the lifting seat 2. After the inserts 11 are connected to the slots 12, the installation and fixing of the first acupoint positioning seat 3 at the inner end of the lifting seat 2 can be completed. Similarly, the reverse operation can be performed to disassemble it. There are six secondary moxibustion boxes 5, which are respectively installed at the first acupoint positioning seat 3. The first acupoint positioning seat 3 has two horizontal sections on both sides for moxibustion of the Tianshu acupoint, two vertical sections below the first acupoint positioning seat 3 for moxibustion of the Qihai and Guanyuan acupoints, and two sides on both sides of the second acupoint positioning seat 4 for moxibustion of the Guilai acupoint. Each auxiliary moxibustion box 5 has a notch 17 for reading the scale line 19 and a spring-loaded locking block 15 that engages with the locking hole 14. When locating acupoints on the patient's abdomen, the distance is measured by the width of a finger. After estimating the distance to each acupoint based on the Shenque acupoint at the navel, the auxiliary moxibustion box 5 is simply installed at the designated scale position, and the spring-loaded locking block 15 engages with the corresponding locking hole 14 to fix the auxiliary moxibustion box 5. This allows medical staff to use the auxiliary moxibustion box 5 to hold ginger powder and moxa wool for individual fumigation and moxibustion of the patient's fixed acupoints.The second acupoint positioning seat 4 is horizontally installed below the first acupoint positioning seat 3 by engaging with the locking hole 14 on the first acupoint positioning seat 3 via its spring locking block 15. Indicator arrows 18 are printed on the edges of the second acupoint positioning seat 4 near the scale line 19 and on the edges of the auxiliary moxibustion box 5 near the scale line 19, for pointing the scale line 19. The detachable nature of the second acupoint positioning seat 4 allows for easy adjustment of its position according to the different acupoints of different patients. The motor 8 is located inside the main moxibustion box 1, and its output end is connected to the screw 7 located in the lifting groove 6 via a coupling. The external extension end of the lifting seat 2 located inside the main moxibustion box 1 passes through… The lifting groove 6 is connected to the screw 7, and the outer thread of the screw 7 is compatible with the inner thread of the lifting seat 2. After the motor 8 is started, it can drive the screw 7 to rotate, and the lifting seat 2 can rotate with the screw 7, moving up and down inside the main moxibustion box 1 to adjust the fumigation height and avoid burning the patient when the temperature is too high. The outer end of the main moxibustion box 1 is provided with a handle 20, an operation panel 21, and a charging hole 22. The operation panel 21 is used to set and display the target temperature for moxibustion, while the charging hole 22 is connected to the battery installed inside the main moxibustion box 1 to connect to an external power source to charge the battery so that the battery can power the entire system. The motor 8, operation panel 21, and temperature sensor are also connected. All sensors 9 are electrically connected to the microprocessor installed inside the main moxibustion box 1. The microprocessor, as the system's control center, receives signals from the operation panel 21 and the temperature controller, and outputs control signals to the motor 8. Before moxibustion, after setting the target temperature by pressing the operation button on the operation panel 21, the temperature sensor 9 at the bottom of the main moxibustion box 1 monitors its internal temperature in real time and sends the temperature signal to the microprocessor. The microprocessor receives the signal from the temperature sensor 9 and compares it with the target temperature. If the detected temperature is higher than the target temperature, the microprocessor outputs a control signal to the motor 8. The motor 8, upon receiving the control signal from the microprocessor, drives the screw. 7. Rotation causes the lifting seat 2 to rise, increasing the distance between the lifting seat 2 and the skin to prevent the burning ginger powder and moxa wool from easily burning the patient's skin at high temperatures. When the temperature drops below the target temperature, the microprocessor stops outputting control signals to the motor 8, and the lifting seat 2 stops rising and falling. The main moxibustion box 1 has handles 20 on both sides for holding and placing the main moxibustion box 1, and for connecting it to the patient's body with straps for use. The handles 20 on both sides of the main moxibustion box 1 not only increase the convenience for medical staff to pick up and put down the main moxibustion box 1, but also allow the main moxibustion box 1 to be fixed in position by using straps wrapped around the patient's body and connected to the handles 20.
[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When performing conventional moxibustion, simply place the main moxibustion box 1 on a specific part of the patient's body, and ginger powder and moxa wool can be laid on the first mesh plate 10 for moxibustion. When it is necessary to select specific acupoints on the abdomen for moxibustion, simply use the cooperation between the insert 11 and the slot 12 to install the first acupoint positioning seat 3 in the lifting seat 2, so that the positioning hole 13 is aligned with the Shenque acupoint at the patient's navel. After taking the width of the patient's finger, estimate the distance to each acupoint based on the Shenque acupoint at the navel, and install the second acupoint positioning seat 4 and each auxiliary moxibustion box 5 at the designated scale in sequence. Let the spring clip 15 on it engage with the corresponding position clip hole 14 to fix the auxiliary moxibustion box 5, so that medical staff can use the auxiliary moxibustion box 5 to hold ginger powder and moxa wool to perform individual fumigation moxibustion on the patient's fixed acupoints. This ensures the moxibustion effect while reducing the waste of ginger powder and moxa wool.
