Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxibustion devices, and in particular to an improved micro-tube moxibustion device. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion, the heat and smoke generated by burning moxa sticks are widely used to treat various diseases.

[0003] Ear canal moxibustion, as an important method of traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy, traditionally relies on direct application of handheld moxa sticks. However, it faces challenges such as ash scattering, inaccurate control of moxa smoke, and inconvenience in operation. Although existing auxiliary tools have attempted to improve this, problems still exist, such as unstable connections, overly rigid smoke-emitting parts, and a lack of effective ash-retention structures.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a technical solution to address the problems existing in the current technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an improved micro-tube moxibustion device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] To achieve its purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An improved microtubular moxibustion device includes:

[0008] A moxibustion structure for performing moxibustion therapy includes a storage section for storing moxa sticks and a smoke outlet section connecting the storage section and the ear canal. One end of the smoke outlet section is connected to the storage section to receive the smoke produced after the moxa stick burns, and the other end is inserted into the ear canal to allow the smoke to enter the ear canal for ear canal moxibustion therapy.

[0009] A ash storage structure is disposed below the storage section to support the storage section;

[0010] When the improved micro-tube moxibustion device is used, one end of the moxibustion structure is inserted into the patient's ear canal through the smoke outlet, and the other end of the moxibustion structure is supported by the ash storage structure.

[0011] In some embodiments, the storage unit is detachably placed on the ash storage structure.

[0012] In some embodiments, the ash storage structure is provided with a recess for placing at least the storage unit, and the storage unit can be engaged with the ash storage structure through the recess.

[0013] In some embodiments, the smoke outlet includes a first section for communicating with the storage section and a second section for insertion into the ear canal, the first section and the second section being detachably connected.

[0014] In some implementations, the second segment is made of a soft material.

[0015] In some embodiments, the first segment is a rigid pipe made of a rigid material, and the first segment is made of a heat-insulating material; or, the first segment is wrapped with a heat-insulating layer.

[0016] In some embodiments, the storage includes a support for storing moxa sticks and a cover for covering the support, the cover being openable or closed on the support.

[0017] In some embodiments, the support portion is made of fire-resistant material; or, the support portion is provided with a fire-resistant layer.

[0018] This invention discloses an improved micro-tube moxibustion device, ingeniously integrating a moxa stick storage area with a smoke outlet for insertion into the ear canal. The storage area holds the moxa stick and connects to the smoke outlet. When the moxa stick burns vigorously in the storage area, the generated smoke flows smoothly through the smoke outlet. The second section of the smoke outlet is made of a soft material, allowing it to be gently inserted into the ear canal, thus achieving a deep moxibustion effect on the ear. Furthermore, an ash collection structure is included, its main function being to effectively collect the ash produced by the burning moxa stick, preventing it from scattering and causing pollution or safety hazards, ensuring a clean and safe environment. The ash collection structure is removable, facilitating cleaning and maintenance for users, simplifying the operation process, and extending the tool's lifespan. During ear canal moxibustion, the ash collection structure also supports the storage area, highlighting its ease of use and making it an indispensable part of auxiliary ear moxibustion tools.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an improved micro-tube moxibustion device, which is an auxiliary tool designed specifically for ear moxibustion, includes a moxibustion structure 100 and an ash storage structure 200.

[0030] The moxibustion structure 100 includes a storage section 120 for holding moxa sticks and a smoke outlet section 110 for extending into the ear canal. The storage section 120 can be used to store moxa sticks. One end of the smoke outlet section 110 is connected to the storage section 120, and the other end can be inserted into the patient's ear canal. When the moxa stick burns in the storage section 120, the moxa smoke is vented into the ear through the smoke outlet section 110, thereby performing moxibustion on the ear. The ash storage structure 200 is located below the storage section 120 to support the storage section 120, and the moxibustion ash after burning in the storage section 120 can fall into the ash storage structure 200 for storage.

[0031] The smoke outlet 110 is a tubular structure with a hollow interior, allowing moxa smoke to pass between the storage section 120 and the ear canal. The smoke outlet 110 described in this invention refers to a tubular structure that typically possesses a certain degree of rigidity, or one that can maintain its original state and is not easily deformed under stress. It should be able to be inserted into the ear canal during use, and should also minimize heat transfer and prevent deformation after heating, so as not to burn the patient during moxibustion treatment or cause difficulties in use due to deformation.

[0032] Preferably, the smoke outlet 110 includes a first segment 111 connected to the storage section 120 and a second segment 112 for insertion into the ear canal, with the first segment 111 and the second segment 112 communicating with each other. The first segment 111 is made of a material that minimizes heat transfer and prevents deformation after heating, such as wood or bamboo, to ensure the smoke transmission is unaffected and to avoid burns and deformation. The second segment 112 is made of a soft material and designed as a miniature smoke outlet port that fits the shape of the ear canal, minimizing damage to the ear canal during insertion. For example, the second segment 112 can be made of medical-grade silicone or similar soft and heat-resistant materials to ensure comfort and safety.

[0033] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the first segment 111 may also be made of a material that cannot reduce heat transfer, but an insulating layer may be wrapped around the outside of the first segment 111 to prevent the smoke outlet 110 from causing burns to the patient.

[0034] Preferably, the first segment 111 and the second segment 112 are detachably connected. For example, the first segment 111 and the second segment 112 can be connected to each other by fitting. Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the first segment 111 and the second segment can also be non-detachable, for example, the first segment 111 and the second segment 112 can be glued together.

[0035] Preferably, the length of the first segment 111 is greater than the length of the second segment 112, because the second segment 112 is made of soft material, while the first segment 111 is generally made of hard material. The longer length of the first segment 111 makes it easier for the user to hold the smoke outlet 110 and insert it into the ear canal.

[0036] Preferably, the diameter of the first segment 111 is larger than the diameter of the second segment 112, and the second segment 112 is set with a smaller diameter, which makes it easier to insert into the ear canal. The first segment 111 maintains a larger diameter, which allows the moxa smoke to be smoothly delivered into the ear canal.

[0037] The storage unit 120 includes a support 121 for holding the moxibustion and a cover 123 for ensuring that the smoke generated by the burning moxibustion can enter the ear canal from the smoke outlet 110 as much as possible. The moxibustion is placed on the support 121 and burned. The cover 123 covers the support 121 and can roughly completely wrap the support 121 so that the smoke inside can provide moxibustion to the patient's ear as much as possible.

[0038] Preferably, the support portion 121 is provided with an extension portion 122 communicating with the smoke outlet portion 110, and the extension portion 122 is detachably connected to the smoke outlet portion 110. Specifically, the extension portion 122 is a protrusion extending from one side of the support portion 121, and it is provided with a through hole, into which the first section 111 of the smoke outlet portion 110 can be inserted, so that the smoke outlet portion 110 communicates with the support portion 121.

[0039] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the extension 122 and the smoke outlet 110 are integrally formed, that is, the smoke outlet 110 and the storage section 120 can be an integrally formed structure. For example, the extension 122 and the first section 111 of the smoke outlet 110 are integrally formed.

[0040] Preferably, the extension 122 is closer to the upper end of the support 121 on the support 121, so that the smoke outlet 110 is connected to the upper end of the support 121, so that the moxa smoke can flow into the smoke outlet 110 and enter the ear canal.

[0041] Preferably, the support portion 121 is made of a non-flammable material (fireproof material), such as a metal material, so that the support portion 121 will not be ignited when the moxa stick is burned on it.

[0042] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the support portion 121 may also be made of a flammable material, but it is provided with a fireproof layer on its surface to prevent the support portion 121 from being ignited.

[0043] The support part 121 is also provided with a groove 1211, which is an area for safely loading the moxa stick. After the moxa stick is lit, it can be placed in the groove 1211 to burn.

[0044] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the support portion 121 may be provided with a rack for placing the moxa stick, on which the moxa stick is placed to allow it to burn more completely.

[0045] The cover 123 can be opened or closed above the support 121, so that the support 121 and the cover 123 can form a sealed space to prevent heat from escaping when the moxa stick is burning.

[0046] Preferably, one side of the cover 123 is rotatably connected to the support 121. For example, the cover 123 is hinged to the support 121 and can be flipped over above the support 121 to cover the support 121 or opened on the support 121.

[0047] Preferably, the cover 123 may also be provided with a vent hole (not shown), which is small in size and can allow air to pass through the sealed space formed by the cover 123 and the support 121, so that the moxa stick can burn completely.

[0048] The ash storage structure 200 is located at the bottom of the support part 121. It has a cavity for holding the ash after the moxibustion is burned. Its upper end is open so that the ash after the moxa stick in the support part 121 is poured in.

[0049] The ash-storing structure 200 supports the storage section 120, facilitating its use during ear canal moxibustion. Specifically, the ash-storing structure 200 is roughly bowl-shaped with an opening at the top for holding ash. During use, the patient lies flat on the treatment bed, lights the moxa stick, and places it in the support section 121 of the storage section 120 to burn. The second section 112 of the smoke-emitting section 110 is inserted into the ear canal, allowing the smoke from the burning moxa stick to enter the ear canal for moxibustion. The bottom surface of the ash-storing structure 200 is flat and can be placed on any plane, such as on the side of the patient on the treatment bed. In this case, the storage section 120 can be placed on the upper edge of the ash-storing structure 200 and supported by it, facilitating the use of the device for ear canal moxibustion.

[0050] Preferably, the height of the ash-storing structure 200 is slightly less than the distance from the back of the head to the ear, so that when the patient lies flat on the treatment bed and uses the structure of the present invention for ear canal moxibustion, the storage part 120 is supported by the ash-storing structure 200 and can be lower than the patient's ear canal, allowing the moxa smoke to circulate within the ear canal. For example, the height of the ash-storing structure 200 is 5-10 cm.

[0051] Preferably, the ash storage structure 200 and the storage section 120 are detachably connected. Specifically, a recess 210 is provided on the upper edge of the ash storage structure 200, and the shape of the recess 210 is adapted to the bottom shape of the storage section 120, so that the storage section 120 can be locked onto the upper edge of the ash storage structure 200 through the recess 210 and supported by the ash storage structure 200.

[0052] Preferably, the ash storage structure 200 is not connected to the support part 121. After the moxibustion in the ear canal is completed, the ash from the burning moxa stick in the support part 121 is poured into the ash storage structure 200 for convenient use.

[0053] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the ash storage structure 200 may also be connected to the support portion 121. For example, a mesh filter may be provided at the bottom of the support portion 121. When the ash storage structure 200 is provided at the bottom of the support portion 121, it is located directly below the mesh filter. Through the mesh filter, the ash after the moxa stick is burned can fall directly into the ash storage structure 200 and be stored by the ash storage structure 200.

[0054] This invention discloses an improved micro-tube moxibustion device, which ingeniously integrates a moxa stick storage area with a smoke outlet 110 for ear canal insertion. A storage section 120 accommodates the moxa stick and connects to the smoke outlet 110. When the moxa stick burns vigorously in the storage area, the generated smoke flows smoothly through the smoke outlet 110. The second section 112 of the smoke outlet 110 is made of a soft material, allowing it to be gently inserted into the ear canal, thus achieving a deep moxibustion effect on the ear. Furthermore, an ash collection structure 200 is included. Its main function is to effectively collect the ash produced by the burning moxa stick, preventing it from scattering and causing pollution or safety hazards, ensuring a clean and safe environment. The detachable ash collection structure 200 facilitates cleaning and maintenance, simplifies the operation process, and extends the tool's lifespan. During ear canal moxibustion, the ash collection structure 200 also supports the storage section 120, highlighting its ease of use and making it an indispensable part of auxiliary ear moxibustion tools.

[0055] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and improvements fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
