Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an auxiliary device suitable for salt-separated moxibustion. Background Technology
[0002] Salt-separated moxibustion combined with meridian massage has a certain effect in treating gastrointestinal dysfunction syndrome in critically ill patients. When performing moxibustion, an appropriate amount of salt is filled into the navel, and a large moxa cone is placed on top. Each moxibustion treatment lasts for about 30 minutes. Because the moxibustion time is relatively long and the distance of the heat source needs to be controlled, if you hold a large moxa cone, not only will your arm easily become tired, but you also need to concentrate more. Otherwise, the stability of holding the cone and the ability to control the distance will decrease. At this time, the risk of burns caused by the heat source at the end of the moxa cone shaking and coming into contact with the skin is relatively high. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a salt-separated moxibustion auxiliary device that makes moxibustion safer, easier, and more convenient.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the adhesive pads are provided in pairs, with the two adhesive pads being symmetrical about the decompression ring, which can stably restrain the entire auxiliary device on the patient's body.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, two convection windows are provided, and the two convection windows are arranged opposite each other on the side wall of the shielding cylinder, so that the air circulation is smoother.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the outer threaded sleeve has an isolation cage, and the side wall of the isolation cage has a smoke overflow port.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the isolation cage has a ash receiving tray, and a salt outlet is provided in the center of the ash receiving tray, which allows for more accurate salt application.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the upper end of the external threaded sleeve has a limiting ring, and the upper end face of the limiting ring has a downwardly extending groove. The mounting base has an embedded disc, which is adapted to sink into the limiting ring. The side of the embedded disc has a retaining plate, which is adapted to sink into the groove and extend out of the groove, serving as a force-bearing part, making the rotation of the lifting cylinder more effortless.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the embedded disc also has a restraining ring, which is suitable for sinking into the outer threaded sleeve. The lower end of the restraining ring has an upwardly extending anti-fall hole, and the non-ignited end of the moxibustion column is suitable for being inserted into the anti-fall hole, which can effectively restrain the large moxibustion column and prevent it from falling off.

[0030] The present application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0031] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the directional terms such as "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", and "counterclockwise" indicate the orientation and positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application 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. They should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of this application.
[0032] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.
[0033] The terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or device.
[0034] like Figure 1-12The auxiliary device for salt-separated moxibustion shown includes a protective cover 1 for shielding against high temperatures. An adhesive patch 2 is attached to the bottom of the protective cover 1 for bonding to the skin of the patient, thus ensuring the relative stability of the entire auxiliary device on the body. The main body of the protective cover 1 is a shielding cylinder 101. The shielding cylinder 101 is typically a regular geometric shape with the same or smaller upper and lower dimensions, facilitating manufacturing. Because the shielding cylinder 101 inevitably comes into contact with the skin of the patient, such as the abdomen, metal or ceramic is usually not used due to their coldness and potential for low-temperature stimulation. Plastic or wood are more suitable materials for the shielding cylinder 101, balancing structural strength and aesthetics. The lower end of the shielding cylinder 101 has a pressure-reducing ring 103 with a significantly enlarged bottom area to prevent the thin-walled shielding cylinder 101 from forming noticeable indentations on the skin. The adhesive patch 2... Since it has a certain thickness, an adhesive groove 104 is also provided on the lower surface of the pressure relief ring 103. The patch 2 is made of a soft and flexible material, such as cloth or elastic silicone material. The upper surface of the patch 2 also has a fitting groove 201. The fitting groove 201 is fixedly connected to the adhesive groove 104 through the upper adhesive patch 202. In this way, the lower surface of the patch 2 can be flush with the bottom surface of the pressure relief ring 103 and in contact with the skin of the treated object. The lower surface of the patch 2 also has a lower adhesive patch 203 for direct adhesion to the skin surface. The upper adhesive patch 202 and the lower adhesive patch 203 are relatively thin. Before adhesion, they are covered by a plastic film to prevent dust from being attracted and affecting the adhesion. The patch 2 is usually provided in pairs, and the adhesive groove 104 can be provided in pairs accordingly. The two patches 2 are symmetrical about the pressure relief ring 103, so that the protective cover 1 can be well maintained after adhesion.
[0035] Although the patch 2 is in close contact with the skin of the person being treated, it is easy to remove and replace. The used patch 2 can be peeled off and discarded directly. The main body of the salt-separated moxibustion auxiliary device can be reused, so there is no need to worry about hygiene issues. Moreover, the patch 2 itself, which cannot be reused, is relatively inexpensive. The cost of each use of the entire salt-separated moxibustion auxiliary device is not high.
[0036] The side wall of the shielding cylinder 101 is provided with a through convection window 102, which allows the air inside and outside the shielding cylinder 101 to exchange, ensuring that the moxibustion has a sufficient and continuous oxygen supply. There are two convection windows 102, which are arranged opposite each other on the side wall of the shielding cylinder 101, so that air can enter or exit the shielding cylinder 101 more smoothly.
[0037] The top of the protective cover 1 is threadedly connected to a lifting cylinder 3. When the lifting cylinder 3 rotates relative to the protective cover 1, its height relative to the protective cover 1 changes accordingly. Since the protective cover 1 is positioned stably on the skin, the distance between the end of the lifting cylinder 3 inside the protective cover 1 and the skin changes when the height of the lifting cylinder 3 changes. Consequently, the distance between the heat source inside the lifting cylinder 3 and the skin also changes, allowing the heat sensation on the treated skin to be adjustable. The upper end of the shielding cylinder 101 has an integral upper sealing plate 105. The center of the upper sealing plate 105 has an inner threaded sleeve 106. The upper sealing plate 105 extends vertically through the area enclosed by the inner threaded sleeve 106. The inner wall of the inner threaded sleeve 106 has an internal thread. The specific structure of the lifting cylinder 3 includes an outer threaded sleeve 303, the outer surface of which has an external thread. In essence, the outer threaded sleeve 303 and the inner threaded sleeve 106 are threaded together to form a spiral lifting structure. The lower end of the outer threaded sleeve 303 also has a coaxial isolation cage 304. The outer diameter of the isolation cage 304 is slightly smaller than that of the outer threaded sleeve 303. The side wall of the isolation cage 304 has an overflow port 305, through which the smoke generated by the moxibustion enters the protective cover 1 and then comes into contact with the skin of the treated object. The lower end of the isolation cage 304 has an ash receiving tray 306, which is used to collect the ash generated by the burning of the moxibustion column 5. The center of the ash receiving tray 306 has a salt leakage port 307, which can more accurately guide the salt to the navel of the treated object. Of course, some moxibustion ash will also pass through the salt leakage port 307, but with the salt blocking it, the moxibustion ash usually does not come into direct contact with the skin. Even if the moxibustion ash still has a certain temperature, it will not burn the skin of the treated object.
[0038] The top of the lifting cylinder 3 is equipped with a detachable mounting base 4 for mounting columnar moxibustion rods. The upper end of the outer threaded sleeve 303 has a limiting ring 301. The upper end face of the limiting ring 301 has a downwardly extending slot 302. The mounting base 4 has an inner plate 401, which can be recessed into the limiting ring 301. The side of the inner plate 401 has a retaining plate 402. There are usually two retaining plates 402, which are symmetrical about the inner plate 401. When the inner plate 401 is recessed into the limiting ring 301, the retaining plates 402 are recessed into the slots 302 that correspond in number and position. Since the retaining plates 402 are relatively long, the ends of the retaining plates 402 will also extend outside the slots 302 to serve as force-bearing parts that come into contact with the hand, thereby facilitating the operator to rotate the lifting cylinder 3 using the mounting base 4.
[0039] The mounting base 4 is suitable for installing the moxibustion column 5 at one end facing the lifting cylinder 3. The lit moxibustion column 5 is the main body for realizing salt-separated moxibustion. In fact, the lower end of the embedded plate 401 also has a restraining ring 403, which can be inserted into the outer threaded sleeve 303. The lower end of the restraining ring 403 has an upward-extending anti-fall hole 404. The inner wall of the anti-fall hole 404 has a ring rib structure. The non-lit end of the moxibustion column 5 is inserted into the anti-fall hole 404. The ring rib structure bites the upper end of the moxibustion column 5, thereby preventing it from falling. The moxibustion column 5 is almost entirely located inside the lifting cylinder 3. The smoke generated by the lit end enters the protective cover 1 through the lifting cylinder 3 and achieves the therapeutic effect after contacting the skin of the treatment object.
[0040] Working principle: In use, first align the lower end of the lifting cylinder 3 with the navel of the patient. Place salt into the upper part of the lifting cylinder 3, where the opening is larger. The salt will fill the navel through the salt drain 307 until the salt level in the drain 307 stops decreasing. Then, lift the lifting cylinder 3 away from the navel. The remaining salt in the lifting cylinder 3 will cover the area around the navel. Next, remove the new adhesive patch 2 and peel off the plastic film covering the upper adhesive patch 202 and lower adhesive patch 203. Adhere the upper adhesive patch 202 to the adhesive groove 104 of the protective cover 1, allowing the protective cover 1 to cover the navel. Fine-tune the position of the protective cover 1 so that the inner threaded sleeve 106 is aligned with the navel. Then, press down the lower adhesive patch 203 to adhere it to the abdomen, thus maintaining the temperature of the protective cover 1. Finally, ignite one end of the moxibustion column 5 and insert the unlit end of the moxibustion column 5 into the navel. Insert the moxibustion column 5 into the anti-fall hole 404 of the mounting base 4, then pinch the mounting base 4 and insert the moxibustion column 5 into the lifting cylinder 3 until the mounting base 4 and the lifting cylinder 3 are fully engaged. Finally, insert the lifting cylinder 3 into the protective cover 1 until the outer threaded sleeve 303 and the inner threaded sleeve 106 are threadedly engaged. According to the heat feedback of the patient, move the locking plate 402 to make a fine adjustment of the height of the moxibustion heat source in the lifting cylinder 3. When the heat source of the moxibustion column 5 rises away from the abdomen due to combustion consumption, the height of the lifting cylinder 3 can be lowered by applying torque to the mounting base 4 until the heat source returns to the appropriate distance range. Since the height can be adjusted in time during the moxibustion process, it can effectively avoid burns and keep the smoke with a suitable temperature in contact with the acupoints near the navel, so that the salt-separated moxibustion can achieve a better therapeutic effect.
