Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of moxibustion, specifically to a moxibustion fire extinguishing device. Background Technology
[0002] Moxibustion, also known as moxibustion therapy or moxibustion method, is a treatment method that uses moxa sticks or moxa cones made from mugwort leaves to stimulate acupoints or specific parts of the body with the heat generated by the moxa. By stimulating the activity of Qi in the meridians, it adjusts the disordered physiological and biochemical functions of the human body, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases.
[0003] The specific amount of moxa stick used depends on the duration of moxibustion. Generally speaking, one moxa stick can burn for 30-40 minutes. Since the usage time varies from 20 minutes to 1 hour for different patients, the moxa stick should be extinguished promptly after each moxibustion session for the next use.
[0004] Currently, existing moxa stick extinguishing devices consist of a lid with the slot facing upwards. After moxibustion, medical staff place the ignition end of the moxa stick into the slot of the lid, then press down while repeatedly rotating the moxa stick left and right until the ignition end is completely extinguished. However, this extinguishing device keeps the moxa stick exposed to air, with the ignition end constantly in contact with oxygen. This makes it difficult for medical staff to extinguish the moxa stick quickly. After the moxa stick is extinguished, the temperature drops below 200℃, and there is no longer a visible flame, which may lead medical staff to mistakenly believe that the moxa stick has completely extinguished to room temperature. Accidental contact at this point can easily cause burns. Furthermore, dust from the ignition end of the moxa stick falls into the slot of the lid, causing the ignition end to become dusty and difficult to relight. It requires cleaning with scissors or other tools before relighting, leading to inconvenience in subsequent use. Utility Model Content

[0017] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the protrusion has an abutting surface, and when the cylinder seat is connected to the fire extinguishing cylinder, the abutting surface abuts against the asbestos mesh.
[0018] As a further embodiment of this utility model, it also includes a cylinder cover, which is screwed to the fire extinguishing cylinder. The cylinder cover has a receiving compartment for holding moxa sticks.
[0019] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are:

[0038] Example 1, combined with Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a moxibustion fire extinguishing device, including a fire extinguishing cylinder 1, an asbestos mesh 2, a cylinder base 3, and a temperature control module. The fire extinguishing cylinder 1 has a fire extinguishing chamber 14, an exhaust port 17, and at least one insertion hole 11. Both the exhaust port 17 and the insertion hole 11 are connected to the fire extinguishing chamber 14. A valve 5 is provided on the insertion hole 11 to seal the insertion hole 11. The fire extinguishing cylinder 1 is a circular cylinder with an arched top. Both the insertion hole 11 and the exhaust port 17 are located at the top of the fire extinguishing cylinder 1. The exhaust port 17 is used to discharge the gas inside the fire extinguishing chamber 14. The device features a one-way valve 9 at the exhaust port 17 to allow gas in the extinguishing chamber 14 to escape in one direction, preventing gas from entering the chamber. Multiple insertion holes 11 are provided for the passage of moxa sticks. Each insertion hole 11 has a valve 5 to seal it, preventing air from entering the extinguishing chamber 14 and thus accelerating the extinguishing process. The valve 5 clamps the moxa stick during insertion, forming a tight seal and automatically closing the insertion hole 11, reducing oxygen supply and aiding in faster extinguishing. Furthermore, during the extinguishing process, the valve 5 effectively prevents sparks or smoke from leaking out of the insertion hole 11, enhancing the safety of the extinguishing device. The valve 5 is made of an elastic material (such as silicone or rubber) to accommodate moxa sticks of different diameters, ensuring a good seal.
[0039] The fire extinguishing cylinder 1 has an opening 12, which is connected to the fire extinguishing chamber 14. The asbestos mesh 2 is placed on the opening 12 and is connected to the fire extinguishing cylinder 1 through a connecting structure. The opening is located at the bottom of the fire extinguishing cylinder 1 and is circular in shape. The circular opening 12 matches the shape of the asbestos mesh 2, which helps to install the asbestos mesh 2 and also facilitates regular cleaning and replacement of the asbestos mesh 2, avoiding the performance degradation of the asbestos mesh 2 due to dust accumulation, thereby extending the service life of the fire extinguishing device.
[0040] The base 3 is detachably mounted on the fire extinguishing cylinder 1. The base 3 has an ash collection chamber for storing moxa ash. The base 3 cooperates with the valve 5 to seal the fire extinguishing chamber 14. Both the base 3 and the fire extinguishing cylinder 1 are made of high-temperature resistant and wear-resistant materials, such as stainless steel, to ensure long-term stable operation in high-temperature environments. Moxa ash passes through the mesh of the asbestos mesh 2. The ash collection chamber collects the ash produced after the moxa sticks burn, preventing the ash from contaminating the ignition source and affecting the ignition effect during reuse. The base 3 and the fire extinguishing cylinder 1 are detachable, allowing the base 3 to be disassembled for unified disposal of the collected ash, thus improving the practicality of the fire extinguishing device.
[0041] A temperature control module is installed on the fire extinguishing cylinder 1. This module includes a heating core 6 and a control module. The control module controls the operation of the heating core 6, which heats the fire extinguishing chamber 14, causing the internal gas to expand and partially escape through the exhaust port 17. After the fire extinguishing cylinder 1 cools down, the internal gas pressure decreases, creating a negative pressure environment to completely extinguish the moxa stick. The control module includes a temperature sensor and a controller for monitoring and controlling the operating status of the heating core 6. The heating core 6 heats the fire extinguishing chamber 14, increasing the internal temperature and causing gas expansion. As the temperature rises, the internal gas pressure increases, and some gas escapes through the exhaust port 17, reducing the oxygen content and accelerating the extinguishing of the moxa stick. The temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the fire extinguishing chamber 14 in real time, and the controller adjusts the operating power of the heating core 6 according to a preset temperature curve to ensure a safe and effective heating process. Once the moxa stick is completely extinguished, the heating core 6 stops operating, allowing the fire extinguishing chamber 14 to cool naturally. As the temperature decreases, the internal gas pressure decreases, creating a negative pressure environment to further prevent the moxa stick from reigniting.
[0042] In one specific embodiment, the fire extinguishing cylinder 1 has a heat dissipation cavity 15, which is ring-shaped. The heating core 6 is securely installed in the heat dissipation cavity 15 by screws or clips, so that the heating core 6 is arranged around the circumference of the fire extinguishing cylinder 1, thereby allowing the heating core 6 to be evenly distributed along the circumference of the fire extinguishing cylinder 1, which helps to achieve uniform heating of the fire extinguishing chamber 14.
[0043] In one specific embodiment, the fire extinguishing cylinder 1 is provided with a heat dissipation aluminum fin 7, and the heating core 6 conducts heat to the fire extinguishing chamber 14 through the heat dissipation aluminum fin 7. The heat dissipation aluminum fin 7 is located on the inner wall of the fire extinguishing cylinder 1 and is made of a material with good thermal conductivity, such as aluminum alloy or copper alloy, to ensure that heat can be quickly conducted to the fire extinguishing chamber 14.
[0044] In this embodiment, the fire extinguishing device also includes a power supply module, which is located on the fire extinguishing cylinder 1. The power supply module supplies power to the heating element 6 and the control module. The power supply module is installed on the side of the fire extinguishing cylinder 1 and uses a battery, such as a lithium battery or a nickel-metal hydride battery. The power supply module is connected to the heating element 6 and the control module via a cable to ensure stable and reliable power transmission. The fire extinguishing cylinder 1 is equipped with a USB interface (not shown in the figure) for easy charging by the user. The control module has power management functions, monitors the battery status in real time, and issues an alarm to prompt the user to charge the device when the battery is low.
[0045] In this embodiment, the fire extinguishing device also includes a touch button 8, which is located on the fire extinguishing cylinder 1 and is electrically connected to the power supply module. The touch button 8 is a capacitive touch button with certain waterproof and dustproof properties to ensure normal operation. The touch button 8 is connected to the control module via a cable, transmitting the user's operation commands to the control module to control the operation of the heating element 6, thereby realizing one-button start or stop of the heating element 6.
[0046] In this embodiment, the connection structure includes a latch 13 and a buckle 21. The latch 13 is disposed on the fire extinguishing cylinder 1, and the buckle 21 is disposed on the asbestos mesh 2. The fire extinguishing cylinder 1 and the asbestos mesh 2 are connected by screwing the latch 13 and the buckle 21 together. Four latches 13 are provided near the opening 12 of the fire extinguishing cylinder 1, and are evenly spaced along the circumference of the fire extinguishing cylinder 1. Correspondingly, four buckles 21 are provided, and are evenly spaced along the circumference of the asbestos mesh 2, to ensure uniform pressure distribution and stable fixation. The diameter of the asbestos mesh 2 is smaller than the inner diameter of the fire extinguishing cylinder 1, so that a position for laying the connection structure is formed between the fire extinguishing cylinder 1 and the asbestos mesh 2. The latch 13 and the buckle 21 are two L-shaped parts that cooperate with each other. The L-shaped parts include a horizontal part and a vertical part. When the latch 13 and the buckle 21 cooperate with each other through a rotation action, the horizontal part of the buckle 21 cooperates with the horizontal part of the latch 13, and the vertical part of the latch 13 abuts against the end face of the horizontal part, thereby installing the asbestos mesh 2 on the fire extinguishing cylinder 1.
[0047] In this embodiment, the fire extinguisher 1 is provided with a limiting flange 18, which is located adjacent to the opening 12. When the fire extinguisher 1 and the asbestos mesh 2 are connected, the limiting flange 18 abuts against the asbestos mesh 2. The limiting flange 18 is annular and is arranged along the circumference of the fire extinguisher 1. The inner diameter of the limiting flange 18 is smaller than the outer diameter of the asbestos mesh 2 to stop the asbestos mesh 2. The limiting flange 18 and the latch 13 form a slot, and the horizontal part of the latch 21 is inserted into the slot to limit the vertical movement of the asbestos mesh 2.
[0048] In this embodiment, the cylinder base 3 is provided with a protrusion 31, which protrudes from the cylinder base 3. The edge of the protrusion 31 forms a stepped groove with the outer wall of the cylinder base 3. The fire extinguishing cylinder 1 is provided with a connecting ring 16 corresponding to the groove. The connecting ring 16 is screwed into the groove to realize the connection between the cylinder base 3 and the fire extinguishing cylinder 1. The protrusion 31 on the cylinder base 3 is ring-shaped, and a stepped groove is formed between the edge of the protrusion 31 and the outer wall of the cylinder base 3. This groove is used to accommodate and position the connecting ring 16 on the fire extinguishing cylinder 1, providing installation space for the connecting ring 16 connection, which helps to enhance the connection stability and plays a preliminary centering role during assembly.
[0049] In one specific embodiment, the protrusion has an abutting surface, and when the cylinder base 3 is connected to the fire extinguishing cylinder 1, the abutting surface abuts against the asbestos mesh 2. After the cylinder base 3 and the fire extinguishing cylinder 1 are assembled, the abutting surface forms contact pressure with the asbestos mesh 2, thereby further enhancing the stability of the asbestos mesh 2.
[0050] In this embodiment, the fire extinguishing device also includes a cover 4, which is screwed to the fire extinguishing cylinder 1. The cover 4 has a receiving chamber 41 for holding moxa sticks. The cover 4 is also made of stainless steel and forms a space for holding moxa sticks, which can store the moxa sticks and prevent them from getting damp, contaminated, or scattered, thereby improving ease of use.
[0051] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to extinguish the moxa stick, the burned moxa stick is inserted into the insertion hole 11. When the moxa stick is inserted, the valve 5 automatically clamps and seals the insertion hole 11. The ignition end of the moxa stick rests against the asbestos mesh. Pressing the touch button 8 activates the heating core 6, and the internal temperature of the extinguishing chamber 14 rises rapidly. The gas expands due to heat, and some of the gas is discharged through the exhaust hole 17, which further consumes oxygen and creates an oxygen-deficient environment, accelerating the extinguishing of the moxa stick. At the same time, the temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the chamber in real time. After the set temperature is reached, the heating is automatically stopped. After the heating stops, the extinguishing device enters the cooling stage. During the cooling process, the gas volume inside the chamber shrinks and the pressure drops, forming an internal negative pressure, which further inhibits the re-ignition of the moxa stick. Under the triple action of high temperature, oxygen deficiency, and negative pressure, the moxa stick is completely extinguished, thereby effectively preventing the moxa stick from reigniting and achieving the purpose of completely extinguishing the moxa stick.
[0052] Many other changes and modifications can be made without departing from the concept and scope of this utility model. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments, and the scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims.
