Description

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] Currently, the mainstream moxibustion devices on the market are mainly divided into two categories: intelligent moxibustion devices and small tube moxibustion devices.

[0004] Smart moxibustion devices typically integrate modern electronic technology, sensing technology, and intelligent control functions, providing users with a more personalized and comfortable moxibustion experience. However, smart moxibustion devices are relatively expensive and not suitable for everyone.

[0005] Compared to intelligent moxibustion devices, mini moxibustion devices have gained market popularity due to their simple structure, ease of operation, and low price. Mini moxibustion devices are typically designed for single use, pre-filled with moxa sticks. Users simply need to light the stick and attach it to the acupoint to begin moxibustion. This design greatly simplifies the moxibustion process, reducing preparation time and skill requirements. However, the single-use nature also means that the entire device must be discarded after each use, leading to resource waste and environmental burden. In summary, existing moxibustion devices each have their advantages and disadvantages. Intelligent moxibustion devices, while powerful, are expensive and complex, while mini moxibustion devices, though convenient and easy to use, lack reusability. Therefore, developing a mini moxibustion device that allows for convenient and effective removal of moxa stick residue and enables reuse has become a pressing issue in the current research and development of moxibustion devices.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] 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.

[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown in Embodiment 1, a small moxibustion tube for easy cleaning includes an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2; the lower shell 2 is detachably connected to the bottom of the upper shell 1, the bottom of the lower shell 2 is provided with a moxibustion hole 231, the moxibustion hole 231 is covered with a first filter screen 21, and the peripheral wall of the lower shell 2 is provided with a plurality of smoke exhaust holes 232.

[0026] The upper housing 1 includes an outer shell 11, an inner cover 12, and an adjusting cover 13. The outer shell 11 is fitted over the outer side of the inner cover 12. The lower end of the adjusting cover 13 is adjustablely positioned inside the inner cover 12. A pin 14 is provided in the middle of the adjusting cover 13. Several ventilation holes 121 are provided on the inner cover 12. The ventilation holes 121 communicate with the outside through the gap between the inner cover 12 and the adjusting cover 13. A needle hole 171 is provided in the middle of the inner cover 12. The pin 14 passes through the needle hole 171 and inserts into the moxa stick 3.

[0027] When ash removal is required, simply remove the lower housing 2 and adjust the height of the adjusting cover 13 to move the insertion pin 14 upward. Since the needle hole 171 can only pass through the insertion pin 14 and not the moxa stick 3, the moxa stick 3 disengages from the insertion pin 14 when the insertion pin 14 moves upward, thus achieving convenient and effective ash removal. After ash removal, restore the adjusting cover 13 to reset the insertion pin 14, and then insert a new moxa stick 3, reinstall the lower housing 2, and continue using it. This technical solution enables the small tube moxibustion to be reused by conveniently and effectively removing moxa stick residue. In specific implementation, the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 can be detachably connected by rotational engagement or threaded connection.

[0028] Example 2 is a further improvement based on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0029] An outer sleeve 15 extends upward from the middle of the inner cover 12. The bottom of the adjusting cover 13 is connected to the inner cylinder 16. A limiting block 161 is provided on the bottom peripheral wall of the inner cylinder 16. A limiting groove 151 with the bottom opening downward is opened on the peripheral wall of the outer sleeve 15. The inner cylinder 16 is located inside the outer sleeve 15. The upper end face of the limiting block 161 abuts against the bottom wall of the outer sleeve 15. After rotating the adjusting cover 13, the limiting block 161 is disengaged from the bottom wall of the outer sleeve 15 and is located in the limiting groove 151. A support plate 17 is provided at the bottom of the inner cover 12. Several through holes 172 communicating with the vent holes 121 are opened on the support plate 17. A pinhole 171 is provided in the middle of the support plate 17. A second filter screen 18 is provided between the support plate 17 and the bottom of the inner cover 12.

[0030] When ash removal is required, rotate the adjusting cover 13 to disengage the limiting block 161 from the bottom wall of the outer sleeve 15 and into the limiting groove 151. Pull the adjusting cover 13 upward to disengage the moxa stick 3 from the insertion needle 14. After ash removal, press the adjusting cover 13 downward to disengage the limiting block 161 from the limiting groove 151. Rotate the adjusting cover 13 to make the limiting block 161 repositioned on the bottom wall of the outer sleeve 15, thereby locking the adjusting cover 13. This device is simple and convenient to operate.

[0031] In specific implementation, two sets of support plates 17 can be provided, and the second filter screen 18 is provided between the two sets of support plates 17 for the flatness and support of the second filter screen 18. In addition, the two sets of support plates 17 can be detachably connected to the bottom wall of the inner cover 12 or the inner peripheral wall of the outer cover 11. The installation and disassembly methods can be rotational engagement, magnetic adsorption or threaded connection.

[0032] Example 3 is a further improvement based on Example 2, and its details are as follows:

[0033] The outer sleeve 15 is fitted with a spring 19, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the inner bottom wall of the inner cover 12 and the inner top wall of the adjusting cover 13. When cleaning is required, the adjusting cover 13 is rotated so that the limiting block 161 is at the bottom of the limiting groove 151, and the adjusting cover 13 is released. Under the elastic force of the spring 19, the adjusting cover 13 can move upward, which is more convenient. When cleaning is not required, the compressed spring 19 can support the adjusting cover 13. The force applied by the spring 19 increases the friction between the upper end face of the limiting block 161 and the bottom wall of the outer sleeve 15, so that the adjusting cover 13 will not rotate freely without the action of external force.

[0034] Example 4 is a further improvement based on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0035] The lower housing 2 includes an upper ring 22 and a lower ring 23; the upper ring 22 and the lower ring 23 are threaded together. The moxibustion hole 231 is located at the bottom of the lower ring 23, and the smoke exhaust hole 232 is located on the peripheral wall of the lower ring 23. The overall height of the lower housing 2 can be adjusted by rotating the threaded connection, which indirectly adjusts the distance between the moxa stick 3 and the moxibustion hole 231. When the moxa stick 3 is close to the moxibustion hole 231, the perceived temperature is higher; when the moxa stick 3 is far away from the moxibustion hole 231, the perceived temperature is lower, thereby achieving the purpose of temperature control.

[0036] Example 5 is a further improvement on Example 4, and its details are as follows:

[0037] It also includes an annular filter element 24, which covers the smoke exhaust hole 232 from the inside of the lower ring 23. The smoke generated after the moxa stick 3 is lit is filtered through the annular filter element 24 and then discharged through the smoke exhaust hole 232, making it more environmentally friendly.

[0038] Example 6 is a further improvement on Example 5, and its details are as follows:

[0039] It also includes a middle ring 25; the outer peripheral wall of the upper end of the middle ring 25 is provided with external threads, and the inner peripheral wall of the upper ring 22 is provided with internal threads that are compatible with the external threads. The upper end of the middle ring 25 is threadedly connected to the upper ring 22. The lower peripheral wall of the middle ring 25 has several smoke passage holes 251 that communicate with the smoke exhaust holes 232. The annular filter element 24 is sleeved on the lower end of the middle ring 25 and covers several smoke passage holes 251. The lower ring 23 is detachably sleeved on the lower end of the middle ring 25. This design not only fixes the annular filter element but also facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the annular filter element.

[0040] Example 7 is a further improvement based on Example 6, and its details are as follows:

[0041] The bottom of the lower ring 23 extends inward to provide a limiting ring 233, and the bottom of the middle ring 25 extends downward to provide a number of locking blocks 252. The limiting ring 233 has a number of slots 2331 corresponding to the locking blocks 252. The middle ring 25 and the lower ring 23 are connected by the locking blocks 252 and the slots 2331.

[0042] The lower inner circumferential wall of the middle ring 25 has a plurality of pressure blocks 253 arranged in a circular array. The first filter screen 21 is disposed inside the middle ring 25 and located between the pressure blocks 253 and the limiting ring 233. This enables the rapid processing, assembly and replacement of the lower housing 2, the annular filter element and the first filter screen 21. In addition, by inserting the locking block 252 into the locking groove 2331, the relative rotation of the middle ring 25 and the lower ring 23 is limited, thereby ensuring the docking and connection of the smoke passage 251 and the smoke exhaust 232.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
