Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of footwear technology, specifically a therapeutic shoe with moxibustion and massage functions. 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 body, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases.

[0003] Currently, common methods of foot moxibustion often involve holding a moxa stick and applying heat to acupoints on the foot, or using a special stand to hold the moxa stick in place and then placing the foot on the stand for treatment. However, both methods require the user to remain seated throughout the process, which not only restricts freedom of movement, preventing the user from performing other tasks while receiving moxibustion, but also wastes time and results in a poor overall experience. Furthermore, simple moxibustion stimulation lacks targeted physical massage of the foot reflex zones, making it difficult to achieve the synergistic effect of moxibustion heat therapy and acupoint pressure, thus limiting its health benefits. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a therapeutic shoe with moxibustion and massage functions to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A therapeutic shoe with moxibustion and massage functions includes a shoe body, the bottom of which is connected to the sole, and a receiving space is formed between the two for the foot to enter, while the receiving space forms an air cavity.

[0007] The sole has a cavity that extends through its upper and lower surfaces. A metal furnace is installed inside the cavity. The metal furnace has a metal mesh at its upper end and an opening at its lower end. A ventilated section for connecting the metal furnace is located in the sole.

[0008] A sealing cap, which is sealed to the sole of the shoe, is used to cover the lower opening of the receiving cavity. An moxa stick is fixed on one side of the cap and the moxa stick is placed in a metal furnace.

[0009] The insole, located on the upper surface of the sole, has several air vents corresponding to the position of the metal mesh, and the upper surface of the insole is integrally formed with several rubber massage bumps.

[0010] Furthermore, the sole is provided with an installation component at the opening of the metal furnace, the installation component being used to seal the connection to the sealing cover.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting component is provided with a slot communicating with the opening, and the sealing cap is inserted into the slot.

[0012] Furthermore, the sole of the shoe is provided with a clearance at the opening of the metal furnace, the mounting component is located within the clearance, and the lower surface of the mounting component and the lower surface of the sealing cover are both located above the lower surface of the sole.

[0013] Furthermore, the metal furnace has through holes on both sides, and the ventilation part includes ventilation holes on the side of the shoe sole. A fixed ventilation tube communicating with the through holes is installed in the ventilation holes, and an end cap is rotatably connected to the end of the fixed ventilation tube away from the metal furnace.

[0014] Furthermore, the ventilation holes are kept at a certain height distance from the lower surface of the sole.

[0015] Furthermore, the insole has several second air vents located around the outer periphery of several first air vents.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] When a user needs to perform foot moxibustion, the moxa stick is first lit, and then the sealed cap containing the burning moxa stick is sealed to the sole of the shoe. At this time, the moxa stick is placed inside the metal furnace. The heat and smoke released by the burning moxa stick, under the natural upward action of the hot airflow, pass through the metal mesh at the top of the metal furnace and the air vent on the insole, directly acting on the skin surface of the sole of the foot. At the same time, the massage rubber protrusions on the insole precisely massage the main reflex acupoints of the five internal organs and six bowels on the sole of the foot, so as to provide effective physical massage during walking and moxibustion, thereby greatly improving the comfort and therapeutic effect of moxibustion.

[0018] This utility model adopts a fixed integrated design between the sealing cover and the moxa stick. When replacing it, the user only needs to pry out the entire assembly and replace it with a new one. The operation is simple and does not require the tedious process of cleaning the moxibustion device.

[0019] This utility model of massage and moxibustion shoes combines the convenience of ordinary sports shoes with the freedom of outdoor activities, making them suitable for various leisure and sports occasions such as jogging, morning exercise, and housework.

[0020] This invention features a fixed ventilation duct with an end cap rotatably connected to the end furthest from the metal furnace. The fixed ventilation duct has evenly spaced air inlets on one side of the end cap, and the end cap has the same shape as the air inlets. By rotating the end cap, the end cap and the air inlets are misaligned, adjusting the opening and closing degree of the air inlets, thereby changing the air intake volume. This allows for precise control of the airflow entering the metal furnace. Combined with accurate calculation of the oxygen consumption required for burning moxa sticks, it achieves a precise match between airflow and combustion requirements, ultimately achieving the purpose of temperature control.

[0021] Other features and advantages of this invention will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1-9 ;

[0034] A therapeutic shoe with moxibustion and massage functions includes a shoe body 1 and a sole 2. The bottom of the shoe body 1 and the sole 2 are fixedly connected by adhesive or sewing, and a receiving space 3 for accommodating the foot is formed between the two.

[0035] The sole 2 has a cavity 5 extending through its upper and lower surfaces. A metal furnace 51 is installed within the cavity 5. The metal furnace 51 is made of a metal material with good thermal conductivity to ensure efficient heat conduction. A heat insulation layer is provided between the outer wall of the metal furnace 51 and the inner wall of the cavity 5 to protect the sole 2 structure from high-temperature damage. The lower end of the metal furnace 51 has an opening 53. A sealing cover 24 is sealed to the bottom of the sole 2, covering the lower opening 53 of the cavity 5. An moxa stick 25 is fixed to one side of the sealing cover 24 and placed within the metal furnace 51. Preferably, the sealing cover 24 is made of a flexible, heat-resistant material such as high-temperature resistant rubber or silicone, providing excellent sealing and heat resistance. The moxa stick 25 and the sealing cover 24 are designed as a single unit; when replacing, the user only needs to remove the entire assembly and replace it with a new one. This simple operation eliminates the need for tedious cleaning of the moxibustion device. After the sealing cover 24 is installed, the moxa stick 25 is positioned in the center of the metal furnace 51 and will not tip over. Furthermore, the sealing cap 24 uses an interference fit, ensuring both a stable connection and a good seal to prevent ash or residue from falling to the ground during the burning of the moxa stick 25, thus avoiding environmental pollution. Preferably, the sealing cap 24 can also be installed using a detachable method such as magnetic attraction or snap-fit. When the moxa stick 25 burns inside the metal furnace 51, the heat generated is transferred to the metal furnace 51, causing it to heat up and provide a gentle and continuous foot heating effect for therapeutic purposes. To ensure a more efficient combustion effect, a vent 6 is provided in the sole 2 to connect the metal furnace 51. This vent 6 connects the interior of the metal furnace 51 with the external environment, allowing outside air to continuously flow into the metal furnace 51, providing sufficient oxygen for the combustion of the moxa stick 25.

[0036] A metal mesh 52 is provided at the upper end of the metal furnace 51. The two ends of the metal mesh 52 are connected to the metal furnace 51 and the receiving space 3, respectively. A shoe insole 7 is placed on the upper surface of the sole 2, covering the metal mesh 52 and providing good heat insulation protection. In order to achieve effective penetration of moxibustion, several air vents 71 are provided on the shoe insole 7 at the position corresponding to the metal mesh 52. The air vents 71 allow the heat and smoke generated by the burning moxa stick 25 to continue to escape upward after passing through the metal mesh 52, directly acting on the skin of the sole of the foot, realizing local warm stimulation of acupoints on the sole of the foot and transdermal absorption of the herbal components of moxa, thereby exerting the therapeutic effect of moxibustion.

[0037] The upper surface of the insole 7 is integrally molded with several rubber massage bumps 73. These bumps massage the soles of the feet while the user is walking or at rest, stimulating acupoints and promoting blood circulation in the feet. While enjoying the warmth and therapeutic effects of moxibustion, the combination of physical massage helps relieve fatigue and relax muscles, providing a more comfortable and pleasant experience. Furthermore, the massage bumps 73 on the insole 7 corresponding to the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are larger than those in other areas and arranged in a quincunx pattern. These bumps target these key acupoints, enhancing the massage effect and further improving the health and therapeutic functions, achieving a comprehensive care experience integrating warmth, pressure, and stimulation.

[0038] The containment space 3 forms an air cavity 4. The smoke from burning moxa stick 25 can enter the air cavity 4 through the metal mesh 52 and the air outlet 71 under the influence of hot airflow, and circulate and diffuse inside the shoe, so that the entire foot area is enveloped by the smoke, achieving all-round fumigation moxibustion.

[0039] It should be noted that there are two receiving cavities 5 in this application, and correspondingly, two metal furnaces 51 are also provided, respectively arranged at intervals in the midfoot area and heel area of ​​the sole 2. The midfoot area mainly corresponds to the lateral longitudinal arch of the foot. This area has minimal deformation and structural stability during walking, making it suitable as a mounting location for the heating component. The heel is the main weight-bearing and ground-contact part of the body when standing and walking, with a dense structure and concentrated force, also suitable for supporting the heating component. Placing the metal furnaces 51 in these two highly stable areas avoids pressure or interference on sensitive areas such as the arch of the foot, thus achieving efficient and safe moxibustion therapy without affecting normal gait and foot physiological structure. The moxibustion shoes of this application are only suitable for use in dry, non-water-contaminated environments. Because they contain burning moxa sticks 25 and a breathable part 6, if used in rainy weather, on damp ground, or in water-contaminated environments, moisture may enter the metal furnace 51, causing the moxa sticks 25 to extinguish.

[0040] When a user needs to perform foot moxibustion, first light the moxa stick 25, then seal the sealed cap 24 with the burning moxa stick 25 to the sole 2 of the shoe. At this time, the moxa stick 25 is placed inside the metal furnace 51. The heat and smoke released by the burning moxa stick 25 pass through the metal mesh 52 at the top of the metal furnace 51 and the air vent 71 on the insole 7 under the natural upward action of the hot airflow, directly acting on the skin surface of the sole. At the same time, the massage rubber protrusions 73 on the insole 7 precisely massage the main reflex acupoints on the sole of the foot corresponding to the five internal organs and six bowels, so as to provide effective physical massage during walking and moxibustion, thereby greatly improving the comfort and therapeutic effect of moxibustion. Because the moxibustion shoe has a shoe body 1 set on the sole 2 and adopts a wearable design structure, the moxibustion device is built into the sole 2. After the user completes the ignition and installation, he / she can walk, stand or perform light daily activities as if wearing ordinary shoes. This allows him / her to take care of office work, housework, reading or other light physical tasks while receiving moxibustion treatment, which greatly improves time utilization efficiency and user comfort.

[0041] The sealing cover 24 of this utility model has two sealing connection methods:

[0042] In the first embodiment, the sole 2 is divided into an outsole (i.e., the bottom wear-resistant layer) and a midsole (i.e., the middle layer that provides cushioning and support). The sealing cap 24 is directly and sealed to the outsole. It is inserted into the outsole through an interference fit, thereby covering the opening 53 at the bottom of the metal furnace 51. The lower surface of the sealing cap 24 is located above the lower surface of the sole 2, so as to prevent the sealing cap 24 from protruding from the lower surface of the sole 2, which would cause the sole 2 to be uneven and affect the user's walking.

[0043] In the second embodiment, an installation component 22 is provided at the opening of the metal furnace 51 on the sole 2. A sealing cap 24 is directly and sealingly connected to the installation component 22. Specifically, the installation component 22 has a slot 23 communicating with the opening 53. The sealing cap 24 is inserted into the slot 23 with an interference fit, thereby covering the opening 53. It should be noted that a clearance 21 is provided at the opening 53 of the metal furnace 51 on the sole 2. The installation component 22 is located in the clearance 21. The lower surfaces of the installation component 22 and the sealing cap 24 are both located above the lower surface of the sole 2, preventing the installation component 22 or the sealing cap 24 from protruding from the lower surface of the sole 2, which would cause the sole 2 to be uneven and affect the user's walking.

[0044] In this embodiment, the metal furnace 51 has through holes 54 on both sides to allow air circulation for combustion. The ventilation part 6 includes ventilation holes 61 on the side of the shoe sole 2. A fixed ventilation tube 62 communicating with the through holes 54 is installed inside the ventilation holes 61. External air continuously enters the metal furnace 51 through the fixed ventilation tube 62, providing sufficient oxygen for the combustion of the moxa stick 25 and ensuring that the moxa stick 25 can burn completely. Preferably, the fixed ventilation tube 62 is made of metal, which has excellent structural strength and heat resistance. It can resist external pressure and repeated deformation of the shoe sole 2 during walking, preventing the ventilation holes from collapsing or becoming blocked, thereby ensuring continuous and unobstructed air circulation. In addition, a heat insulation layer is provided between the outer wall of the fixed ventilation tube 62 and the inner wall of the ventilation hole 61 to protect the structure of the shoe sole 2 from high-temperature damage.

[0045] The fixed ventilation duct 62 is rotatably connected to an end cap 63 at the end away from the metal furnace 51. Specifically, the fixed ventilation duct 62 is provided with air inlets 64 at even intervals on one side of the end cap 63, and the shape of the end cap 63 is the same as that of the air inlets 64. By rotating the end cap 63, the end cap 63 and the air inlets 64 are misaligned, and the opening and closing degree of the air inlets 64 is adjusted, thereby changing the air intake. This allows for precise control of the air flow entering the metal furnace 51. Combined with the accurate calculation of the oxygen consumption required for the combustion of the moxa stick 25, the air flow is precisely matched with the combustion requirements, ultimately achieving the purpose of temperature control.

[0046] Considering that relying solely on a few vents 71 is insufficient to fully expel the smoke and heat generated by the burning moxa stick 25, to ensure that the smoke and heat act evenly on the sole of the foot, a number of vents 72 are provided around the outer periphery of the vents 71 on the insole 7. The smoke and heat that fail to escape through the vents 71 will diffuse outwards along the gap between the insole 7 and the sole 2, and ultimately be expelled through the vents 72 distributed around the periphery. This multi-point exhaust structure allows the smoke and heat to cover a wider area of ​​the sole, including the arch and the edge of the foot, achieving a more uniform and comprehensive warming therapy effect, improving user comfort and treatment experience. Preferably, the bottom surface of the insole 7 has a flow channel connecting the vents 71 and the vents 72, allowing for the diffusion of smoke and heat.

[0047] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.

This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementations that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
