Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxibustion therapy technology, specifically to a small moxibustion tube that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional Chinese medicine, moxibustion is widely used in clinical practice and daily health care due to its various effects, such as warming and unblocking the meridians, dispelling cold and dampness, and regulating qi and blood. With the advancement of technology and people's increasing demand for health, moxibustion devices are also constantly evolving, aiming to improve the convenience, safety, and effectiveness of moxibustion treatment.

[0003] Miniature moxibustion tubes are typically designed for single use, pre-filled with moxa sticks. Users simply light the stick and attach it to the acupoint to begin moxibustion. This design greatly simplifies the process, reducing preparation time and skill requirements. However, the single-use nature also means the entire device must be discarded after each use, leading to resource waste and environmental impact. Existing reusable miniature moxibustion tubes, on the other hand, have complex internal structures, higher production costs, and cumbersome operation methods in order to achieve ash removal and reuse.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1-2 As shown in Embodiment 1, a small moxibustion tube for easy cleaning includes a tube body 1, a pressing mechanism 2, a needle 3, a metal cover 4, and a base 5.

[0022] The base 5 is detachably connected to the lower end of the cylinder 1. A moxibustion hole 51 is opened in the middle of the bottom wall of the base 5. Several air holes 52 are opened on the peripheral wall of the base 5. The metal cover 4 is arranged downwardly inside the cylinder 1.

[0023] The pressing mechanism 2 includes a button 21, a fixing plate 22, and a return spring 23. The fixing plate 22 is fixedly connected to the inner circumferential wall of the cylinder 1. The button 21 is arranged above the fixing plate 22. The upper end of the button 21 extends out from the upper part of the cylinder 1. The lower end of the button 21 is provided with a connecting post 24. The connecting post 24 passes through the fixing plate 22 and is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the metal cover 4. The fixed end of the pin 3 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the fixing plate 22. The spike of the pin 3 passes through the top wall of the metal cover 4 and extends into the interior of the metal cover 4. The two ends of the return spring 23 are respectively connected to the lower end face of the button 21 and the upper end face of the fixing plate 22.

[0024] When ash removal is needed, simply remove the base 5 and press button 21. Pressing button 21 transmits the force to the metal cover 4 via connecting post 24, pushing the metal cover 4 downwards. Since the fixing plate 22 and the insertion pin 3 are fixed, the downward movement of the metal cover 4 pushes the moxa stick off the insertion pin 3, quickly removing moxa stick residue and ash. After releasing button 21, the return spring 23 resets button 21, which in turn resets the metal cover 4. Compared with existing reusable moxibustion tubes, this design is simple to operate; ash removal is completed simply by removing the base 5 and pressing button 21, reducing the hassle of manual cleaning. The simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and ease of maintenance and cleaning improve the product's reliability and lifespan.

[0025] Example 2 is a further improvement based on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0027] Example 3 is a further improvement based on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0028] The through-holes on the fixing plate 22 are covered with filter element 6. Filter element 6 can effectively filter moxibustion smoke and reduce indoor air pollution.

[0029] Example 4 is a further improvement based on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0030] A filter screen 7 is placed over the moxibustion hole 51. During moxibustion, the filter screen 7 prevents moxa ash from falling out of the moxibustion hole 51.

[0031] Example 5 is a further improvement based on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0032] The bottom of the cylinder 1 is connected to an annular adhesive part 8. The small moxibustion tube is attached to the skin through the adhesive part 8 for moxibustion, eliminating the need to hold it.

[0033] Example 6 is a further improvement based on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0034] The adhesive part 8 includes a silicone sheet 81, a mounting ring 82, and a double-sided adhesive tape 83. The mounting ring 82 is connected to the upper end face of the silicone sheet 81, and the lower end face of the base 5 is provided with a mounting groove 53. The mounting ring 82 is fixedly disposed in the mounting groove 53, and one adhesive side of the double-sided adhesive tape 83 is adhered to the lower end face of the silicone sheet 81. The silicone sheet 81 provides a larger adhesive surface area for the double-sided adhesive tape 83, making the double-sided adhesive tape 83 firmly adhered to the silicone sheet 81 and less likely to fall off.

[0035] Example 7 is a further improvement based on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0036] The other adhesive side of the double-sided adhesive tape 83 is covered with release paper 84. Before use, the release paper 84 prevents the adhesive side of the double-sided adhesive tape 83 from becoming ineffective.
