Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxibustion jar technology, and in particular to a moxibustion jar. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, moxibustion, as a time-honored and effective treatment and health maintenance method, is widely loved. Moxibustion jars, as an important tool in moxibustion therapy, help users perform moxibustion more conveniently. As people increasingly value health and wellness, higher demands are being placed on the performance and user experience of moxibustion jars. A well-designed and fully functional moxibustion jar should not only accurately control the moxibustion temperature to ensure its effectiveness, but also be simple and convenient to operate, especially in routine maintenance tasks such as changing moxa sticks, saving users time and energy and meeting the needs of people in today's fast-paced life for traditional Chinese medicine wellness.

[0003] Currently, most moxibustion jars on the market share a common mechanical structure and technical principle. Most moxibustion jars consist of a jar body, a moxa stick placement device, and fixing components. The jar body generally serves to contain and conduct heat, and is usually made of metal or ceramic. The moxa stick placement device is typically a simple slot or bracket that holds the moxa stick inside the jar for combustion. Regarding temperature regulation, some moxibustion jars use simple ventilation openings on the surface of the jar body, thus affecting the burning speed and temperature of the moxa stick. The fixing components often use simple straps or clips to secure the moxibustion jar to the corresponding part of the body. These traditional moxibustion jar designs and technical principles, to a certain extent, meet the basic needs of moxibustion and are widely used in the field of traditional Chinese medicine and health preservation.

[0004] However, existing moxibustion jars suffer from inconvenient temperature regulation. Traditional methods of temperature adjustment are often crude, with precise control of the ventilation openings leading to significant temperature fluctuations. Furthermore, many moxibustion jars require direct contact between the user and the jar or moxa stick when adjusting the temperature, posing a risk of burns. Additionally, the lack of an effective mechanism for adjusting the needle application distance makes it impossible to precisely control the burning rate of the moxa stick, resulting in temperatures that are difficult to achieve the user's desired level. This inconvenience in temperature regulation severely impacts the effectiveness of moxibustion and the user experience, reducing the practicality of moxibustion jars in real-world use. Therefore, a more scientific and convenient temperature regulation method is urgently needed to address these issues. This paper proposes a new moxibustion jar to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a moxibustion jar, which aims to improve the problem of inconvenient temperature adjustment in existing moxibustion technologies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A moxibustion jar includes a movable lid, the top of which is provided with an air regulating component for adjusting the air intake, thereby controlling the combustion rate.

[0008] The air regulating component includes a rotating plate rotatably connected to the top of the movable cover. The movable cover has multiple guide grooves on its surface, which are distributed in a circular pattern. Each guide groove has a fixed rod slidably connected to its inner wall. The top of each fixed rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable cover. Both the movable cover and the rotating plate have multiple vent holes distributed in a circular pattern. The bottom of the rotating plate is provided with a distance adjusting component for adjusting the needle application distance.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The adjustable component includes a handle located at the center of the rotating plate. A threaded rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the handle, and the threaded rod is slidably connected inside the movable cover and the rotating plate.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The bottom of the threaded rod is fixedly connected to an acupuncture needle, a nut is slidably connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod, and an adjusting plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod, with the nut located below the adjusting plate.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The movable cover has a fixed cover on its outer wall, and the bottom of the fixed cover is fixedly connected to the tank body, and the bottom of the tank body is fixedly connected to the base.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] The fixed cover has fixed posts on both the left and right sides of the top, and the bottom of each fixed post is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed cover. The movable cover has limit holes on both the left and right sides of the top.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] Each of the fixed columns is rotatably connected to a rotating rod on its outer wall. A limit bead is provided at the bottom of the rotating rod, and the limit bead is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating rod.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] A limiting spring is provided at the top of the limiting bead, and the limiting spring is located inside the rotating rod.

[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0022] One end of the limiting spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating rod, and the other end of the limiting spring is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting bead.

[0023] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. In this utility model, to adjust the moxibustion temperature, the rotating plate can be rotated to drive the fixed rod to slide in the guide groove, simultaneously causing the vent to rotate as well. When the rotating plate aligns with the vent of the movable cover, the air intake channel opens, allowing more air to enter the fixed cover and increasing the air intake volume. At the same time, pulling the handle moves the threaded rod and the moxa stick needle upward, adjusting the needle application distance, controlling the burning rate of the moxa stick, and quickly adjusting the moxibustion temperature. This solves the problem of inconvenient moxibustion temperature adjustment and improves the user experience.

[0025] 2. In this utility model, when the user needs to replace the burnt-out moxa stick inside the fixed cover, first rotate the rotating rods on both sides of the fixed cover. As the rotating rods rotate, the bottom limiting bead moves away from the limiting hole on the surface of the movable cover, simultaneously compressing the internal limiting spring. Once the rotating rods are completely out of the movable cover's range, the movable cover can be removed using the handle, the fixed cover cleaned, and a new moxa stick replaced. Afterward, the movable cover is placed back into the fixed cover, and the rotating rods are rotated again. When rotated above the limiting hole, the limiting spring pushes the limiting bead into the limiting hole, locking the movable cover. This solves the problem of inconvenient disassembly and assembly of the movable cover and improves the efficiency of replacing moxa sticks. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-3One embodiment of this utility model is a moxibustion jar, which includes a movable cover 4 located on the top of the moxibustion jar and is made of natural bamboo. Its main function is to work with the fixed cover 1 to form a relatively enclosed space to ensure the stable combustion of the moxa stick during moxibustion and prevent heat loss too quickly. The top of the movable cover 4 is equipped with an air regulating component to adjust the air intake, thereby controlling the combustion rate. The air regulating component includes a rotating plate 5, made of the same material as the movable cover 4. It can rotate around the central axis of the top of the movable cover 4, changing the relative position of the air vents 7 on its surface with those on the movable cover 4, thus controlling the size of the air intake channel. The rotating plate 5 is rotatably connected to the top of the movable cover 4. Multiple guide grooves 9 are provided on the surface of the movable cover 4, providing a precise sliding track for the fixed rod 8, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the fixed rod 8 during sliding, thus ensuring the smooth rotation of the rotating plate 5. The guide grooves 9 are circumferentially distributed, and the inner walls of each guide groove 9 are slidably connected to the fixed rod 8, connecting the rotating plate 5 and the movable cover 4, while also limiting the movement trajectory of the rotating plate 5. The top of the fixed rod 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable cover 4. Both the movable cover 4 and the rotating plate 5 have multiple air vents inside. 7. Ventilation holes 7 provide a channel for air to enter the moxibustion jar. Ventilation holes 7 are distributed in a circumferential shape. The bottom of the rotating plate 5 is equipped with a distance adjustment component, which is used to adjust the needle insertion distance. The distance adjustment component includes a handle 6, which is also made of bamboo and has a non-slip texture on the surface for easy gripping and operation. The user controls the threaded rod 11 by pulling or pushing the handle 6, thereby adjusting the position of the moxa stick needle 12. The handle 6 is located at the center of the rotating plate 5, and the threaded rod 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the handle 6. The handle moves up and down by itself. The position of the moxa stick insertion needle 12 is adjusted, thereby changing the acupuncture distance. The threaded rod 11 is slidably connected inside the movable cover 4 and the rotating plate 5. The bottom of the threaded rod 11 is fixedly connected to the moxa stick insertion needle 12, whose sharp head is used to insert the moxa stick. The outer wall of the threaded rod 11 is slidably connected to the nut 13. The outer wall of the threaded rod 11 is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate 10. The nut 13 is located below the adjusting plate 10. The outer wall of the movable cover 4 is provided with a fixed cover 1. The outer wall of the fixed cover 1 cooperates with the movable cover 4 and is made of the same material as the movable cover 4, which has good heat insulation performance and durability. It mainly plays the role of protecting the internal structure and further sealing the space to ensure the effective collection and utilization of heat during moxibustion. The bottom of the fixed cover 1 is fixedly connected to the jar body 2, which is made of stainless steel metal mesh. The bottom of the jar body 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the jar body 2. The bottom of the jar body 3 is made of silicone material, which is soft and has good anti-slip performance. Its main function is to contact the human body, provide stable support for the moxibustion jar, and ensure that the moxibustion jar will not easily slide during use.

[0035] Specifically, when using this moxibustion jar, the user first needs to attach the base 3 to the area where moxibustion is to be performed using the straps. The silicone or rubber material of the base 3 can fit closely to the skin and has good anti-slip properties, ensuring the stability of the moxibustion jar during use. The user adjusts the air intake by rotating the rotating plate 5. The rotating plate 5 rotates around the central axis of the top of the movable cover 4. During the rotation, the fixing rod 8 at the bottom of the rotating plate 5 slides along the inner wall of the guide groove 9 inside the movable cover 4. The guide groove 9 provides a precise sliding track for the fixing rod 8, ensuring the smoothness and stability of the rotation of the rotating plate 5. As the rotating plate 5 rotates, the multiple vent holes 7 on its surface also rotate. When the vent holes 7 on the surface of the rotating plate 5 are aligned with the vent holes 7 on the surface of the movable cover 4 below, the air intake channel is opened, and air can enter the inner wall of the fixed cover 1 along the vent holes 7. By adjusting the rotation angle of the rotating plate 5, the number and size of the aligned vent holes 7 can be changed, thereby precisely controlling the amount of air entering the fixed cover 1. Increasing or decreasing the air intake directly affects the burning rate of the moxa stick, thus regulating the moxibustion temperature. The user pulls handle 6, which moves the threaded rod 11, fixedly connected to it, upwards. The threaded rod 11 slides axially within the movable cover 4 and rotating plate 5. Since the bottom of the threaded rod 11 is fixedly connected to the moxa stick needle 12, the upward movement of the threaded rod 11 causes the moxa stick needle 12 to move upwards as well, thereby adjusting the needle application distance. During adjustment, the nut 13 and adjusting plate 10 play important auxiliary roles. The user can rotate the nut 13 to adjust its position on the threaded rod 11, thereby changing the height of the adjusting plate 10 and precisely controlling the position of the threaded rod 11. By adjusting the needle application distance, the distance between the moxa stick and the skin can be controlled, thus affecting the moxibustion effect and temperature. By adjusting these two key factors—air intake and needle application distance—the user can quickly and effectively adjust the moxibustion temperature according to their needs, achieving the ideal moxibustion effect.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5Fixed posts 14 are provided on both the left and right sides of the top of the fixed cover 1. Their main function is to provide support and a base for the rotation of the rotating rod 15, so that the rotating rod 15 can rotate stably around it. The bottom of the fixed posts 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed cover 1. Limiting holes 18 are provided on both the left and right sides of the top of the movable cover 4. The shape and size of the limiting holes 18 match the limiting beads 17. The outer wall of the fixed posts 14 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 15. The rotating rod 15 realizes the rotational movement on the top of the fixed cover 1 through the rotational connection with the fixed posts 14. Its main function is to control the position of the limiting beads 17. Through the rotation operation, the limiting beads 17 are engaged or disengaged from the limiting holes 18 on the movable cover 4, thereby realizing the locking and unlocking function of the movable cover 4. The bottom of the rotating rod 15 is provided with limiting beads 17, which are engaged with the limiting holes 18 on the top of the movable cover 4 to lock the movable cover 4. When the limiting bead 17 enters the limiting hole 18, it can effectively prevent the movable cover 4 from moving at will, ensuring a tight connection between the movable cover 4 and the fixed cover 1 during the use of the moxibustion jar, and ensuring the stability of the moxibustion process. The limiting bead 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating rod 15. A limiting spring 16 is provided on the top of the limiting bead 17. When the rotating rod 15 rotates, the limiting spring 16 will be compressed or restored to its original state according to the rotation, providing power support for the movement of the limiting bead 17, ensuring that the limiting bead 17 can accurately enter or leave the limiting hole 18. The limiting spring 16 is located inside the rotating rod 15. One end of the limiting spring 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating rod 15, and the other end of the limiting spring 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting bead 17.

[0037] Specifically, when the user needs to replace the burnt moxa stick inside the fixed cover 1, the user first holds the rotating rod 15 located on the left and right sides of the fixed cover 1, and then applies a rotational force in a direction away from the limiting hole 18 of the movable cover 4, causing the rotating rod 15 to rotate around the fixed post 14. During the rotation, the rotating rod 15 makes a circular motion around the fixed post 14, and the part of its bottom connected to the limiting bead 17 gradually moves away from the limiting hole 18 on the surface of the movable cover 4. At the same time, as the rotating rod 15 rotates, the limiting spring 16 inside it is subjected to the upward pressure of the limiting bead 17 and begins to be compressed. The metal wires inside the spring come together tightly, storing elastic potential energy. When the rotating rod 15 rotates to completely leave the range of the movable cover 4, the limiting bead 17 completely disengages from the limiting hole 18, at which point the movable cover 4 is in the unlocked state. The user can grasp the movable cover 4 with handle 6, lift it upwards from inside the fixed cover 1, and remove it to clean the inside of the fixed cover 1 and replace the moxa stick. After cleaning the inside of the fixed cover 1 and replacing the moxa stick, the user aligns the movable cover 4 with the position of the fixed cover 1 and slowly lowers it into the fixed cover 1. Then, the user grasps the rotating rod 15 again and applies rotational force in the direction close to the limiting hole 18 of the movable cover 4, causing the rotating rod 15 to rotate in the opposite direction around the fixed post 14. When the rotating rod 15 rotates above the limiting hole 18, the previously compressed limiting spring 16 inside the rotating rod 15 begins to return to its original state. The limiting spring 16, with its stored elastic potential energy, pushes the limiting bead 17 downwards along the axis of the rotating rod 15. Under the force of the limiting spring 16, the limiting bead 17 slides downwards along the inner wall of the rotating rod 15 and finally enters the inner wall of the limiting hole 18 on the surface of the movable cover 4. Once the limiting bead 17 is fully inserted into the limiting hole 18, the movable cover 4 is securely locked onto the fixed cover 1, thus completing the locking operation of the movable cover 4. This design enables quick locking and unlocking of the movable cover 4, facilitating user maintenance and moxa stick replacement within the moxibustion jar, thereby improving the ease of use and efficiency of the moxibustion jar.

[0038] Working Principle: When using this moxibustion jar, the user first uses the straps to attach the base 3 to the desired moxibustion location. When adjusting the temperature, the user first rotates the rotating plate 5, causing the bottom fixing rod 8 to slide along the guide groove 9 inside the movable cover 4. Simultaneously, the rotation of the rotating plate 5 causes the multiple ventilation holes 7 on its surface to rotate as well. When the ventilation holes 7 on the rotating plate 5 align with the ventilation holes 7 on the surface of the movable cover 4 below, the air intake channel is opened, allowing air to enter the inner wall of the fixed cover 1 along the ventilation holes 7, thus increasing the air intake inside the fixed cover 1. At the same time, the user pulls the handle 6, causing the threaded rod 11 and the moxa stick needle 12 to move upwards, thereby adjusting the needle application distance and controlling the burning rate of the moxa stick inside the fixed cover 1. This achieves rapid adjustment of the moxibustion temperature. Regarding the temperature effect, when the user needs to replace the burned moxa stick inside the fixed cover 1, first rotate the rotating rod 15 located on the left and right sides of the fixed cover 1. The rotation of the rotating rod 15 causes the limiting bead 17 at its bottom to move away from the limiting hole 18 on the surface of the movable cover 4, and at the same time, it causes the limiting spring 16 inside to be compressed. When the rotating rod 15 is completely away from the range of the movable cover 4, the user can remove the movable cover 4 through the handle 6, clean the inside of the fixed cover 1 and replace it with a new moxa stick. Then, put the movable cover 4 into the fixed cover 1 and rotate the rotating rod 15 again. When the rotating rod 15 rotates to above the limiting hole 18, the limiting spring 16 inside the rotating rod 15 pushes the limiting bead 17 into the inner wall of the limiting hole 18, thereby completing the locking of the movable cover 4, thus achieving the effect of quickly locking and unlocking the movable cover 4.
