Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxibustion technology, specifically to a moxibustion box with adjustable temperature. Background Technology

[0002] Moxibustion, a type of acupuncture therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine, uses the heat generated by moxa (supported by mugwort leaves) to stimulate acupoints or specific areas on the body surface. By stimulating the flow of Qi (vital energy) in the meridians, it regulates the body's disordered physiological and biochemical functions, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. Moxibustion boxes (or moxibustion tubes) are commonly used tools in the moxibustion process.

[0003] Existing moxibustion devices, such as the "Moxibustion Cylinder" disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. CN209092170U, include a cylinder body composed of an outer wall and an inner wall disposed within the outer wall. An annular space between the outer and inner walls serves as an air circulation channel; the inner layer space within the inner wall is a moxibustion combustion space; the annular space and the inner layer space communicate at the bottom of the cylinder body; a cylinder bottom is rigidly connected to the bottom of the cylinder body; and a cylinder cover with an air vent grille is disposed on the top of the inner wall. In actual use, the moxa stick (or moxa cone) is fixedly placed on the inner side of the inner wall and burned, producing moxa smoke for treatment. Compared to ordinary moxa cones, moxa sticks, and moxibustion boxes, this moxibustion cylinder ensures smooth air circulation, allowing the moxa stick to burn fully internally to produce optimal and effective heat, spectrum, volatiles, and moxa smoke. Simultaneously, through ingenious structural design, it guides the main heat, volatiles, and moxa smoke to act on the treatment area.

[0004] However, in actual use, the moxa stick of this moxibustion tube is directly set on the inner wall, and the distance between the moxa stick (or moxa cone) and the treatment site is fixed. Therefore, the temperature of the moxibustion site is uncontrollable and cannot be adjusted according to each person's physical condition, the acupoints to be treated, and the patient's physical tolerance. This makes it impossible to meet various treatment needs and affects its practicality. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an adjustable temperature moxibustion box, which, through a combination of various methods, achieves precise control of the heat of moxa during the moxibustion process, changes the moxibustion effect, changes the moxibustion temperature, meets various treatment needs, and improves practicality.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention provides a temperature-adjustable moxibustion box, characterized in that it comprises an inner cylinder, an outer cylinder, filter cotton, a top cover, and moxa needles. The outer cylinder is spaced outside the inner cylinder, the filter cotton is filled between the inner and outer cylinders, the upper end of the outer cylinder is provided with an inner closing structure, the inner closing structure is provided with a first air passage hole, and the outer periphery of the inner cylinder is provided with a second air passage hole.

[0007] The top cover includes an annular cover plate and a cylinder arranged coaxially from top to bottom. The inner cylinder has an internal thread structure at the upper part and a filter screen at the lower part. The cylinder is threadedly engaged with the internal thread structure. The annular cover plate is spaced above the inner constriction structure, and the outer diameter of the annular cover plate is adapted to the outer diameter of the outer cylinder. The moxibustion needle passes through the top cover and is inserted into the inner cylinder. The moxibustion needle is vertically and retractably mounted on the top cover.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper outer periphery of the inner cylinder is provided with an external thread structure, and the inner hole of the inner constriction structure is threadedly engaged with the external thread structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the axial length of the internal thread structure is twice the axial length of the external thread structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the moxibustion needle is threaded into the inner cavity of the cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper end of the cylinder is provided with an inwardly extending inner cylinder, the outer periphery of the inner cylinder is spaced apart from the inner cavity of the cylinder, and the moxibustion needle is threadedly engaged with the inner cavity of the inner cylinder.

[0012] Furthermore, the lower end of the outer cylinder is higher than the lower end of the inner cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer wall of the outer cylinder is provided with a plurality of third air passages arranged in a ring array along its axis.

[0014] Furthermore, the third vent is a V-shaped vent.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] (1) By using the threaded structure of the inner cylinder and the inner cylinder, and by vertically raising and lowering the moxa stick on the annular cover plate, the distance between the moxa stick and the treatment site can be changed. The moxibustion temperature of the treatment site can be controlled by adjusting the distance between the moxa stick and the treatment site. The annular cover plate is spaced above the outer cylinder, and the outer diameters of the two are matched. By adjusting the position of the inner cylinder and the position of the outer cylinder, the distance between the top of the annular cover plate and the outer cylinder can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the air intake from the top of the outer cylinder into the inner cylinder, changing the burning speed of the moxa stick, and thus changing the moxibustion effect and temperature by adjusting the burning speed of the moxa stick. This allows for multiple adjustment methods to meet various treatment needs and improve practicality.

[0017] By utilizing the first and second air vents and incorporating filter cotton, air circulation is ensured, allowing the moxa stick to burn completely. At the same time, impurities in the moxa smoke are filtered out, improving the usage environment and enhancing the patient experience.

[0018] (2) The tapered structure at the top of the outer cylinder and the threaded structure at the top of the outer circumference of the inner cylinder are threaded together, making the connection between the outer and inner cylinders more stable and preventing relative displacement between them during use, thus ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the moxibustion box. At the same time, it is convenient to fine-tune the relative position of the outer and inner cylinders as needed, thereby further optimizing the air circulation and temperature regulation effect.

[0019] (3) The axial length of the internal thread structure is twice that of the external thread structure, which gives the cylinder a longer adjustment stroke and provides a wider range of space for adjusting the distance between the moxa stick and the treatment site. This allows for more precise control of the moxibustion temperature and meets the needs of different patients and different treatment stages. At the same time, it ensures a stable connection between the top cover and the inner cylinder.

[0020] (4) The moxa needle is threaded into the inner cavity of the tube. By rotating the moxa needle, the vertical position of the moxa stick can be precisely adjusted, thereby more accurately controlling the distance between the moxa stick and the treatment site, and achieving precise control of the moxibustion temperature.

[0021] (5) An inner extension cylinder is provided at the upper end of the cylinder body, and the moxibustion needle is threaded into the inner cavity of the inner extension cylinder, providing a more stable structure for the adjustment of the moxibustion needle. The outer circumference of the inner extension cylinder is spaced apart from the inner cavity of the cylinder body, which can avoid interference between the moxibustion needle and the cylinder body during the adjustment process, ensuring the smoothness and stability of the adjustment, and further improving the effect of temperature regulation.

[0022] (6) Multiple third air holes are arranged in a ring array along the axis on the outer wall of the outer cylinder, which further increases the amount of air entering, helps the moxa stick to burn more fully, and produces more effective heat, spectrum, volatiles and moxa smoke, thus improving the therapeutic effect of moxibustion.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: Specific Implementation Example 1:

[0033] refer to Figures 1 to 7 This utility model discloses an adjustable temperature moxibustion box (hereinafter referred to as the moxibustion box), comprising an inner cylinder 1, an outer cylinder 2, a filter cotton 3, a top cover 4, and moxa sticks 5. The outer cylinder 2 is spaced outside the inner cylinder 1, forming a filtration space between them. The filter cotton 3 is filled between the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2. The upper end of the outer cylinder 2 is provided with an inner closing structure 21, and the upper end of the inner closing structure 21 is provided with a first air passage 22. The outer periphery of the inner cylinder 1 is provided with a second air passage 13. The moxa smoke generated when the moxa sticks burn inside enters the filter cotton 3 through the second air passage 13 for filtration, and then exits through the first air passage 22, completing gas exchange and filtering impurities in the moxa smoke.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the top cover 4 includes an annular cover plate 41 and a cylindrical body 42 disposed at the lower end of the annular cover plate 41, and the cylindrical body 42 is coaxially arranged with the annular cover plate 41. An internal thread structure 11 is provided in the upper part of the inner cavity of the inner cylinder 1. The cylindrical body 42 is inserted into the inner cylinder 1 from top to bottom and threadedly engaged with the internal thread structure 11. This threaded engagement allows for relative movement between the cylindrical body 42 and the inner cylinder 1, changing the distance between them. A filter screen 14 is provided in the lower part of the inner cavity of the inner cylinder 1 to prevent moxibustion ash from falling directly onto the moxibustion site and burning the patient.

[0035] Annular cover plates 41 are spaced above the inner constriction structure 21, and the outer diameter of the annular cover plates 41 is adapted to the outer diameter of the outer cylinder 2. Specifically, the outer circumference of the annular cover plates 41 can cover the first air passage 22 on the inner constriction structure 21. The gap between the annular cover plates 41 and the inner constriction structure 21 allows for air exchange between the first air passage 22 and the interior of the inner cylinder 1. In this way, by changing the spiral depth of the inner cylinder 1 and the cylinder body 42, the gap between the annular cover plates 41 and the inner constriction structure 21 can be changed, thereby changing the air intake volume. The moxibustion needle 5 passes through the inner holes of the annular cover plates 41 and the cylinder body 42 and is inserted into the inner cylinder 1. The moxibustion needle 5 is vertically and retractably mounted on the top cover 4.

[0036] This configuration, through the threaded engagement between the cylindrical body 42 and the inner cylinder 1's internal thread structure 11, and the vertically adjustable moxa needle 5 mounted on the annular cover plate 41, allows for the adjustment of the distance between the moxa stick and the treatment area. This enables the control of the moxibustion temperature at the treatment site by adjusting the distance between the moxa stick and the treatment area.

[0037] The annular cover plate 41 is spaced above the outer cylinder 2 and the outer diameter of the two are compatible. By adjusting the position of the cylinder 42 and the inner cylinder 1, the distance between the top of the annular cover plate 41 and the outer cylinder 2 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the amount of air entering and exiting from the first air hole 22, changing the burning speed of the moxa stick, and realizing the change of moxibustion effect and temperature by adjusting the burning speed of the moxa stick.

[0038] This allows for multiple ways to adjust the heat of the moxa stick, meeting various treatment needs and improving practicality. Simultaneously, utilizing the first air vent 22 and the second air vent 13, along with the filter cotton 3, ensures air circulation for complete combustion of the moxa stick while filtering impurities from the smoke, improving the usage environment and enhancing the patient experience.

[0039] Preferably, in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, an external thread structure 12 is provided at the upper part of the outer periphery of the inner cylinder 1, and the inner hole of the inner constriction structure 21 is threadedly engaged with the external thread structure 12. Specifically, a downwardly extending, cylindrical inner extension section 24 is provided on the inner side of the inner constriction structure 21. The length of the inner extension section 24 is adapted to the length of the external thread structure 12, and the inner hole of the inner extension section 24 is threadedly engaged with the external thread structure 12.

[0040] This ensures a more stable connection between the outer cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 1, preventing relative displacement during use and guaranteeing the overall stability of the moxibustion box. It also allows for fine-tuning of the relative positions of the outer cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 1 as needed, further optimizing airflow and temperature control. In other embodiments, to meet practical usage requirements, the external thread structure 12 may be omitted; in this case, the inner closing structure 21 can be directly fixed to the upper end of the inner cylinder 1, achieving assembly between the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the axial length of the internal thread structure 11 is twice the axial length of the external thread structure 12. This allows the cylinder 42 to have a longer adjustment stroke, providing a wider range of space for adjusting the distance between the moxa stick and the treatment site, enabling more precise control of the moxibustion temperature, meeting the needs of different patients and different treatment stages, and offering multiple adjustment methods. At the same time, it ensures a stable connection between the top cover 4 and the inner cylinder 1.

[0042] Preferably, in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 , 7 As shown, the moxa needle 5 is threadedly engaged with the inner cavity of the cylinder 42. Specifically, an inwardly extending inner tube 43 is provided at the upper end of the cylinder 42. The outer circumference of the inner tube 43 is spaced apart from the inner cavity of the cylinder 42. The moxa needle 5 consists of a large-diameter section and a small-diameter needle body from top to bottom. The large-diameter section is threadedly engaged with the inner cavity of the inner tube 43, and the small-diameter needle body extends into the inner tube 1 for inserting the moxa stick. This arrangement allows for precise adjustment of the vertical position of the moxa stick by rotating the moxa needle 5, thereby more accurately controlling the distance between the moxa stick and the treatment site, and achieving precise control of the moxibustion temperature. At the same time, the large-diameter section further improves the stability during adjustment. Furthermore, the inner tube 43 provides a more stable structure for adjusting the moxa needle 5. The spaced arrangement between the outer circumference of the inner tube 43 and the inner cavity of the cylinder 42 avoids interference between the moxa needle 5 and the cylinder 42 during adjustment, ensuring smoothness and stability of adjustment, and further improving the temperature control effect.

[0043] In other embodiments, the large-diameter section slides vertically into the inner cavity of the cylinder 42. Multiple pin holes are arranged vertically at intervals on the circumference of the large-diameter section. A stop pin passes through the pin hole and stops on the upper end surface of the annular cover plate 41. By adjusting the position of the pin hole into which the stop pin is inserted, the height of the moxa needle 5 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the moxa stick and the temperature.

[0044] Preferably, in this embodiment, the lower end of the outer cylinder 2 is hollowed out and is higher than the lower end of the inner cylinder 1. This facilitates gas heat exchange and directs the heat emitted through the lower gap between the outer cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 1 to the moxibustion site, improving the therapeutic effect. In other embodiments, the lower end of the outer cylinder 2 can be flush with the lower end of the inner cylinder 1. In this way, during moxibustion, the lower end of the inner cylinder 1 also covers the moxibustion site, directly guiding the emitted heat to the moxibustion area and increasing the versatility of moxibustion.

[0045] Preferably, in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 , 4As shown, the outer wall of the outer cylinder 2 is arranged in a ring array along its axis with multiple third air passages 23. Specifically, the third air passages 23 are V-shaped holes. The third air passages 23 further increase the amount of air entering, which helps the moxa stick to burn more completely and improves the therapeutic effect of moxibustion.

[0046] The third vent 23 is designed as a V-shaped hole. This design facilitates handheld use by utilizing the circumference of the outer cylinder 2 between the V-shaped holes. Furthermore, it guides air into the moxibustion box at a specific angle, optimizing airflow and resulting in more even burning of the moxa stick and more reasonable heat distribution, further enhancing the therapeutic effect and temperature control precision of the moxibustion. In other embodiments, to meet practical usage requirements, the third vent 23 may be omitted, leaving the outer wall of the outer cylinder 2 completely smooth. Alternatively, in other embodiments, depending on usage requirements, the third vent 23 may be a rectangular vertical hole or an arc-shaped hole.

[0047] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, a cap 6 is provided at the upper end of the moxibustion needle. The size of the cap 6 is larger than the inner hole of the annular cover plate 41. The position of the moxibustion needle 5 can be adjusted by screwing the cap 6.

[0048] The working process of this application:

[0049] When performing moxibustion, first insert the moxa stick into the moxa needle 5 and light it, then screw the moxa needle 5 onto the cylinder 42.

[0050] During moxibustion, the position of the moxa needle 5 can be changed by twisting the cap 6 and the annular cover plate 41 to adjust the moxibustion temperature, based on factors such as the patient's sensation, the acupoints to be treated, and the individual's constitution. At the same time, the distance between the annular cover plate 41 and the inner closing structure 21 can be adjusted by twisting the outer cylinder 2 and the annular cover plate 41 to adjust the airflow, thereby further adjusting the temperature of the moxibustion position and the moxibustion effect.

[0051] In summary, this utility model of moxibustion box, through a combination of methods, achieves precise control of moxa heat during the moxibustion process, changes the moxibustion effect, changes the moxibustion temperature, meets various treatment needs, and improves practicality.

[0052] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.

[0053] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that if terms such as "upper," "lower," "horizontal," or "inner" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of the invention is in use, 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, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on this application. In addition, terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0054] Furthermore, the use of the term "horizontal" does not imply that the component must be absolutely horizontal, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.
