Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of moxibustion boxes, specifically a moxibustion box with anti-scalding function. Background Technology

[0002] Du moxibustion, a distinctive external therapy in traditional Chinese medicine, has a long history of clinical application. It involves applying moxibustion indirectly to the spinal segment of the Du meridian. Through the warm stimulation of the Du meridian, it aims to warm and unblock the meridians, dispel cold and dampness, harmonize Yin and Yang, and benefit the kidneys and promote the flow of Qi. It is widely used in the treatment and prevention of various diseases, such as ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic low back pain—all conditions caused by deficiency and cold.

[0003] In traditional Du meridian moxibustion treatment, a moxibustion box is often used as an aid. In practice, fresh ginger powder is placed inside the box, followed by moxa wool, which is then ignited. The heat and medicinal properties generated by the burning moxa wool, combined with the transdermal effect of the ginger, treat the patient's Du meridian area.

[0004] However, in actual clinical application, this traditional moxibustion method using a moxibustion box has certain limitations. During the burning process of moxa wool, the burning speed and temperature are difficult to control precisely, easily leading to excessively high temperatures and burns to the patient's skin. Once a burn occurs, it not only causes unnecessary pain and increases the patient's psychological burden, but may also lead to complications such as local skin infection, affecting the progress and effectiveness of moxibustion treatment, and potentially reducing patient compliance and acceptance of the treatment. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a moxibustion box with anti-scalding function, which solves the problem that traditional moxibustion boxes are prone to scalding patients' skin during use.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a moxibustion box with anti-scalding function, comprising a base plate and an acupuncture pad. A water storage cylinder, a controller, and a temperature detector are installed on the top of the base plate. A water pump is installed on the bottom side wall of the water storage cylinder. A water guide pipe is provided between the water outlet of the water pump and the top of the water storage cylinder. The water guide pipe is evenly laid back and forth on the top of the acupuncture pad. The water storage cylinder is filled with water. Several fixing straps are connected to the top of the acupuncture pad. Both ends of the fixing straps are connected to the acupuncture pad, and the water guide pipe passes through the fixing straps, so that the fixing straps fix the water guide pipe on the acupuncture pad. Two columnar detection probes are connected to the temperature detector through wires. The detection probes detect the temperature of ginger powder placed on the acupuncture pad. The controller is electrically connected to the temperature detector and the water pump. The output signal of the temperature detector causes the controller to control the water pump to start. The water circulates between the water guide pipe and the water storage cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, the acupuncture pad has fixed plates connected to both ends of the top, and multiple blocks in a straight line are connected to the top sides. The fixed plates and blocks form a placement area, and a handle is installed on the top of the fixed plates.

[0010] Furthermore, the top of the water tank is threaded with a sealing plug.

[0011] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a moxibustion box with anti-scalding function, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This acupuncture box with anti-scalding function has a detection probe on the temperature detector and a water pump installed on the water tank. Both the temperature detector and the water pump are connected to the controller. A water guide pipe is installed at the water pump outlet and laid on the acupuncture mat. The return water of the water guide pipe is connected to the top wall of the water tank. When the temperature of the ginger powder on the acupuncture mat exceeds the set high temperature value, the controller controls the water pump to circulate the water in the water tank along the water guide pipe, cooling the ginger and preventing scalding of the patient's skin, thus protecting the patient.

[0017] 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.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model discloses a moxibustion box with anti-scalding function, comprising a base plate 1 and an acupuncture pad 2. The acupuncture pad 2 is composed of a double-layer steel mesh and a cloth surface. The two layers of steel mesh are stacked and the cloth surface is placed at the bottom of the steel mesh for contact with the body. The top two ends of the steel mesh are connected to fixing plates 11, and handles 12 are installed on the fixing plates 11. Multiple blocks 13 arranged in a straight line are connected to the top two sides. The fixing plates 11 and the blocks 13 form a placement area. During use, the moxa wool and ginger are prevented from falling off the acupuncture pad 2. At the same time, the steel mesh and cloth surface have good air permeability so that during the burning of the moxa wool, the medicinal gas can be applied to the acupoints of the patient through the acupuncture pad 2 to achieve a therapeutic effect.

[0019] The top of the base plate 1 is equipped with a stainless steel water tank 3, a controller 10 and a temperature detector 7. The top of the water tank 3 has a water injection hole, and the inner wall of the water injection hole is provided with an internal thread. A sealing plug 9 that is threadedly connected to the internal thread is installed on the water injection hole. Water is injected into the water tank 3 through the water injection hole, and then the sealing plug 9 is installed on the water injection hole to prevent water from flowing out of the water injection hole.

[0020] A water pump 4 is installed at the bottom of the side wall of the water storage cylinder 3. The inlet end of the water pump 4 is connected to the water storage cylinder 3, and a water guide pipe 5 is installed at the outlet end. The other end of the water guide pipe 5 is connected to the top of the water storage cylinder 3 and is connected to the inside of the water storage cylinder 3. The water guide pipe 5 is coiled back and forth on the top of the acupuncture pad 2 so as to be evenly laid. Several fixing straps 6 are connected to the top of the acupuncture pad 2. Both ends of the fixing straps 6 are connected to the acupuncture pad 2, and the water guide pipe 5 passes through the fixing straps 6, so that the fixing straps 6 fix the water guide pipe 5 on the acupuncture pad.

[0021] Two cylindrical detection probes 8 are connected to the temperature detector 7 via wires. The temperature detector 7 is equipped with a display screen and multiple buttons. The controller 10 is electrically connected to the temperature detector 7 and the water pump 4 via wires. The temperature values ​​of two temperature ranges can be input on the temperature detector 7 by clicking the buttons. When the temperature detection probe 8 detects a temperature higher than the set high value, the controller 10 controls the water pump 4 to start. The water pump 4 draws water from the water storage tank 3 and circulates it into the water storage tank 3 through the water pipe 5 to cool the ginger powder on the acupuncture pad 2, preventing the moxa wool from burning the patient due to excessive heat. When the detection probe 8 detects a temperature lower than the set low temperature, the controller 10 controls the water pump 4 to stop rotating.

[0022] In summary, when using this acupuncture box with anti-scalding function, the user presses the button on the temperature detector 7 and sets the temperature value, holds the handle 12, places the acupuncture pad 2 on the patient's back, places ginger powder on the acupuncture pad 2 to cover the water pipe 5, inserts the detection probe 8 into the ginger powder, places moxa wool on the ginger powder, and then ignites the moxa wool.

[0023] During the burning process, the smoke from the moxa wool travels along the steel mesh and cloth with ginger powder, acting on acupoints on the patient's back to achieve therapeutic effects.

[0024] When the detection probe 8 detects that the temperature exceeds the set high value, the temperature detector 7 causes the controller 10 to start the water pump 4. The water pump 4 draws water from the water storage tank 3, and the water circulates back to the storage tank along the water guide pipe 5. During this process, the water absorbs the heat from the ginger powder through the water guide pipe 5, and the heat is dissipated to the outside by the stainless steel water storage tank 3, thereby reducing the temperature of the ginger powder and preventing the patient from being scalded. When the detection probe 8 detects the set low temperature, the controller 10 controls the water pump 4 to stop working.

[0025] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
