Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxibustion therapy technology, and more specifically, to a gourd moxibustion device. Background Technology

[0002] Moxibustion, also known as moxibustion therapy or moxibustion method, is a treatment method that uses burning moxa sticks or cones made from mugwort leaves to generate heat that stimulates acupoints or specific areas of the body. This heat stimulates the flow of Qi (vital energy) to regulate disordered physiological and biochemical functions, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. Among moxibustion treatments, gourd moxibustion is widely used. Generally, the bottom of a gourd is removed, and multiple fixing posts are set around the sides of the opening at the bottom. In use, the moxa cone is inserted into the fixing posts for fixation. After lighting the moxa cone, the gourd is placed on a base containing a breathable mesh, and then the base is placed on the patient, allowing the heat from the moxa inside the gourd to penetrate the base and act on the patient for treatment. Currently, the height of the gourd base used clinically is not adjustable, making it impossible to adjust the distance between the moxa stick and the skin. This makes it difficult to control the temperature of moxibustion, inconvenient to use, and can even affect the therapeutic effect if the temperature is unsuitable. Gourd moxibustion sticks come in various sizes, and to reduce heat loss, a towel is usually wrapped around the bottom and base to further concentrate heat. However, this excessive sealing can lead to insufficient oxygen inside, causing the moxa stick to extinguish. The surface of the gourd is also relatively smooth, making it easy for the towel to slip off during use, affecting usability. The bottom of the base is also relatively smooth, making it easy for the stick to slip off the patient, further hindering its use. Therefore, existing gourd moxibustion methods have many problems in use, are inconvenient to use, and can even affect the therapeutic effect. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, such as the inability to adjust the height of the gourd base, the inability to adjust the distance between the moxa stick and the skin, the difficulty in controlling the temperature of moxibustion, and the inconvenience of use, this utility model provides a gourd moxibustion device that allows for easy adjustment of the gourd's height, thereby enabling better control of the moxibustion temperature and making it convenient to use.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a gourd moxibustion device, including a base, a dust-proof net disposed on the base, a gourd body disposed on the dust-proof net, a lifting component slidably connected to the base, and a fixing component for fixing the lifting component. The dust-proof net is disposed on the lifting component, and the fixing component is connected to the lifting component and the base respectively.

[0005] The gourd body is placed on the ash-separating net, then on the base, and finally on the patient. The ash-separating net serves both to hold the gourd body and to block the ash from falling onto the patient. This net is integrated into the lifting mechanism, which is then secured with a fixing component. In actual use, the height of the lifting mechanism is adjusted according to the burning temperature of the moxa stick and the patient's condition, thereby adjusting the height of the gourd body and the moxa stick. This allows the moxa stick to be positioned closer to or further away from the patient's skin, adjusting the moxibustion temperature and improving treatment efficacy. Specifically, the fixing component can use bolts or pins for secure fixation.

[0006] Preferably, the fixing component includes a plurality of screws and a plurality of nuts that respectively mate with the screws, the base is provided with a plurality of vertically arranged elongated through holes, the lifting component is provided with a plurality of mounting holes, and the screws pass through the mounting holes and the elongated through holes to connect with the nuts.

[0007] The mounting hole is a round hole for placing screws, and the elongated through hole is set vertically to avoid the screws from rising and falling. After adjusting the lifting component and the dust screen to the appropriate height, tighten the nut to fix the lifting component on the base.

[0008] Preferably, the screw is located below the dust-proof mesh.

[0009] Place the screws below the dust screen to prevent them from blocking or scratching the hoist body.

[0010] Preferably, the screw is fixed radially relative to the lifting member.

[0011] The screw is fixed radially, thus preventing it from rotating relative to the lifting component. This prevents the screw from slipping when the nut is tightened, improving the performance. Specific fixing methods include an interference fit between the screw and the mounting hole to fix the screw radially; or drilling a hole or removing part of the flat surface at the end of the screw, and then setting a stop post on the lifting component to restrict the drilling or flat surface, thereby limiting the screw's rotation.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes an insulating cloth movably connected to the gourd body, and a binding rope is threaded through the top of the insulating cloth.

[0013] The insulation cloth is used to cover the gourd body and base. Binding ropes are provided to tie the insulation cloth to the gourd body to prevent the insulation cloth from slipping off and affecting its use. Furthermore, the insulation cloth is trapezoidal in shape.

[0014] Preferably, the insulation cloth is provided with several breathable meshes.

[0015] A breathable mesh is installed to allow oxygen to pass through the insulation fabric, preventing the moxa stick from going out. Specifically, the breathable mesh is also made of fabric and is sewn onto the insulation fabric.

[0016] Preferably, a cover cloth for covering the breathable mesh is connected to the thermal insulation cloth. A first hook and loop fastener is provided on one side of the breathable mesh, and a second hook and loop fastener is provided on the cover cloth. When the cover cloth covers the breathable mesh, the second hook and loop fastener are adhered together with the first hook and loop fastener.

[0017] One side of the covering cloth is fixed to the insulation cloth, and the other side is equipped with a second Velcro. When the insulation cloth does not need to be ventilated, the covering cloth is attached to the first Velcro through the second Velcro, thereby covering the ventilation net.

[0018] Preferably, it also includes a third hook and loop fastener disposed on the other side of the breathable mesh, wherein after the cover fabric is opened and rolled up, the second hook and loop fastener and the third hook and loop fastener are adhered together.

[0019] When the insulation fabric needs to be breathable, the cover fabric is attached to the third hook and loop fastener via the second hook and loop fastener, allowing the breathable mesh to remain ventilated while also securing the cover fabric to prevent it from covering the breathable mesh.

[0020] Preferably, the outer side of one end of the top of the insulation cloth is provided with a fourth hook and loop fastener, and the inner side of the other end is provided with a fifth hook and loop fastener that cooperates with the fourth hook and loop fastener.

[0021] The fourth and fifth hook and loop fasteners enhance the securing effect of the insulation cloth, further preventing it from detaching from the gourd body.

[0022] Preferably, the bottom of the base is provided with an anti-slip layer.

[0023] The bottom of the base comes into direct contact with the patient's skin and is equipped with an anti-slip layer to increase friction and prevent the base from slipping. Specifically, the anti-slip layer is made of silicone, rubber, or a fabric with suitable friction. Furthermore, the anti-slip layer is detachably connected to the base. Since the anti-slip layer comes into direct contact with the patient's skin, it needs to be cleaned after use. With the detachable connection, the anti-slip layer can be easily removed and replaced with a new one, making it more convenient to use. Specifically, the anti-slip layer is connected to the base by snap-fit ​​or adhesive.

[0034] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a gourd moxibustion device includes a base 1, a dust-proof net 2 disposed on the base 1, a gourd body 3 disposed on the dust-proof net 2, a lifting component 4 slidably connected to the base 1, and a fixing component 5 for fixing the lifting component 4. The dust-proof net 2 is disposed on the lifting component 4, and the fixing component 5 is connected to the lifting component 4 and the base 1 respectively.

[0037] The gourd body 3 is placed on the ash-separating net 2, and then on the base 1. The base 1 is placed on the patient. The ash-separating net 2 serves both to hold the gourd body 3 and to block the ash from falling onto the patient. The ash-separating net 2 is integrated into the lifting component 4, which is then secured by the fixing component 5. In actual use, the height of the lifting component 4 is adjusted according to the burning temperature of the moxa stick and the patient's condition, thereby adjusting the height of the gourd body 3 and the moxa stick. This allows the moxa stick to be positioned closer to or further away from the patient's skin, thus adjusting the moxibustion temperature and improving treatment efficacy. Specifically, the fixing component 5 can be secured using bolts or pins.

[0038] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are: by setting the ash-proof net 2 on the lifting component 4, the height of the ash-proof net 2 can be adjusted by the lifting component 4, thereby adjusting the distance between the moxa stick and the patient's skin. This allows medical staff to adjust the moxibustion temperature according to the different conditions of different patients, thereby improving the moxibustion treatment effect.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] The difference between Example 1 and Example 2 is as follows:

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the fixing component 5 includes several screws 501 and several nuts 502 that respectively mate with the screws 501. The base 1 has several vertically arranged elongated through holes 101, and the lifting component 4 has several mounting holes. The screws 501 pass through the mounting holes and the elongated through holes 101 to connect with the nuts 502. Figure 2 As shown, screw 501 is located below the dust-proof mesh 2. Screw 501 is radially fixed relative to the lifting component 4.

[0042] The mounting hole is a circular hole for placing the screw 501. The elongated through hole 101 is vertically positioned to prevent the screw 501 from moving up and down. After adjusting the lifting component 4 and the dust-proof net 2 to a suitable height, tighten the nut 502 to fix the lifting component 4 on the base 1. Place the screw 501 below the dust-proof net 2 to prevent it from blocking or scratching the hoist body 3. The screw 501 is radially fixed, thus preventing it from rotating relative to the lifting component 4. This also prevents the screw 501 from slipping when the nut 502 is tightened, improving the performance. Specific fixing methods include an interference fit between the screw 501 and the mounting hole to radially fix the screw 501; or drilling a hole or removing part of the flat surface at the end of the screw 501, and then setting a stop post on the lifting component 4 to restrict the drilling or flat surface, thereby limiting the rotation of the screw 501.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing component 5 uses two sets of screws 501 and nuts 502, which are symmetrically arranged to ensure the stability of the fixing.

[0044] In this embodiment, both the base 1 and the lifting member 4 are annular, and the outer side of the lifting member 4 is slidably connected to the inner side of the base 1.

[0045] The remaining features and working principles of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 1.

[0046] Example 3

[0047] Based on Example 1 or Example 2, Example 1 or Example 2 are further defined, with the following differences:

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes an insulation cloth 6 movably connected to the gourd body 3, with a binding rope 7 threaded through the top of the insulation cloth 6. Several ventilation nets 8 are provided on the insulation cloth 6. A covering cloth 9 for covering the ventilation nets 8 is connected to the insulation cloth 6. A first hook and loop fastener 10 is provided on one side of the ventilation net 8, and a second hook and loop fastener 11 is provided on the covering cloth 9. When the covering cloth 9 covers the ventilation net 8, the second hook and loop fastener 11 adheres to the first hook and loop fastener 10. A third hook and loop fastener 12 is also provided on the other side of the ventilation net 8. After the covering cloth 9 is unrolled, the second hook and loop fastener 11 adheres to the third hook and loop fastener 12. A fourth hook and loop fastener 13 is provided on the outer surface of one end of the top of the insulation cloth 6, and a fifth hook and loop fastener 14 that cooperates with the fourth hook and loop fastener 13 is provided on the inner surface of the other end. Figure 1-2 As shown, the bottom of the base 1 is provided with an anti-slip layer 15.

[0049] The insulating cloth 6 is used to cover the gourd body 3 and the base 1. A binding rope 7 is provided to tie the insulating cloth 6 to the gourd body 3, preventing it from slipping and affecting use. Furthermore, the insulating cloth 6 is trapezoidal in shape. A breathable net 8 is provided to allow oxygen to pass through the insulating cloth 6, preventing the moxa stick from extinguishing. Specifically, the breathable net 8 is also made of fabric and sewn onto the insulating cloth 6. A covering cloth 9 is fixed to the insulating cloth 6 on one side, and a second Velcro 11 is provided on the other side. When the insulating cloth 6 does not need ventilation, the covering cloth 9 is attached to the first Velcro 10 via the second Velcro 11, thus covering the breathable net 8. When the insulating cloth 6 needs ventilation, the covering cloth 9 is attached to the third Velcro 12 via the second Velcro 11, allowing the breathable net 8 to ventilate while also securing the covering cloth 9 to prevent it from covering the breathable net 8. The fourth Velcro 13 and the fifth Velcro 14 enhance the fixation of the insulation cloth 6, further preventing it from detaching from the gourd body 3. The bottom of the base 1 directly contacts the patient's skin, and an anti-slip layer 15 is provided to increase friction and prevent the base 1 from slipping. Specifically, the anti-slip layer 15 is made of silicone, rubber, or a fabric with suitable friction. Furthermore, the anti-slip layer 15 is detachably connected to the base 1. Since the anti-slip layer 15 is in direct contact with the patient's skin, it needs to be cleaned after use. The detachable connection allows for easy removal and replacement of the anti-slip layer 15, making it more convenient to use. Specifically, the anti-slip layer 15 is attached to the base 1 using a snap-fit ​​or adhesive connection.

[0050] Figure 3 In the middle, the left cover 9 is in the closed state. At this time, the second Velcro 11 on the cover 9 and the first Velcro 10 on the insulation cloth 6 are bonded together, sealing the breathable mesh 8. The right cover 9 is in the open state. At this time, the cover 9 is rolled up, so that the second Velcro 11 on the cover 9 flips to the back and is bonded to the third Velcro 12 on the insulation cloth 6, thereby fixing the cover 9 and allowing the breathable mesh 8 to breathe.

[0051] The remaining working principles and processes of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2.

[0052] In the specific implementation of the above embodiments, the technical features can be combined in any non-contradictory way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the above technical features are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features is not contradictory, it should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0053] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
