Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, specifically to a skin protector for umbilical fire therapy. Background Technology

[0002] The subcutaneous fat around the navel (Shenque acupoint) is thin, while the deeper layers contain abundant nerves and blood vessels, giving it excellent thermal sensitivity and conductivity, which also facilitates the penetration and absorption of drug molecules. Umbilical fire therapy allows heat and medicinal properties to quickly penetrate the navel, regulating the physiological functions of tissues and organs through the reflexes and conduction of the nervous system, enhancing the body's immunity, thereby achieving the purpose of disease prevention and treatment.

[0003] Umbilical fire therapy is a method combining umbilical therapy and fire therapy. First, a medicinal cake (made from finely powdered astragalus, codonopsis, atractylodes macrocephala, salvia miltiorrhiza, cinnamon, coix seed, etc., mixed with ginger juice) is placed on the navel. Then, a wax tube (made of straw paper and wax, hollow in the middle) is placed on top of the medicinal cake, directly over the center of the navel, and lit at the top. It burns naturally, and after it burns out, a second one is used. Seven tubes constitute one treatment, which lasts about 30 minutes. It is performed once a day, and one month constitutes one course of treatment. The efficacy is observed after one course of treatment.

[0004] Because the medication needs to be freshly mixed each time it's used, it's inconvenient to control the consistency of the mixed ointment. If it's too dry, cracks will appear in the ointment. During treatment, the melted wax from the wax cartridge will flow through these cracks onto the patient's skin, causing burns. This necessitates stopping treatment, delaying the course of therapy, and potentially leading to doctor-patient conflicts. Furthermore, when applying the mixed ointment to the patient's navel, the diameter and thickness of the resulting ointment cannot be controlled, resulting in inconsistent shapes and sizes each time, thus affecting the treatment's effectiveness. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a skin protector for umbilical fire therapy, which effectively solves the problems of existing devices being inconvenient to quantify the thickness and diameter of the medicinal cake and easily causing skin burns to patients.

[0006] The technical solution is as follows: This utility model includes a bottom ring with an upper and lower axial direction. A ring groove is coaxially opened on the upper side of the bottom ring and communicates with its interior. A clamping ring is coaxially threaded onto the ring groove. The inner diameter of the clamping ring is equal to the inner diameter of the bottom ring. A gauze sleeve is coaxially placed between the lower side wall of the ring groove and the lower end of the clamping ring. A filter screen is coaxially placed inside the gauze sleeve. The outer diameters of the gauze sleeve and the filter screen are both larger than the inner diameter of the bottom ring and smaller than the outer diameter of the ring groove. A protective plate is coaxially detachably connected to the upper end of the clamping ring. The outer diameter of the protective plate is larger than the outer diameter of the bottom ring. A vertically penetrating placement hole is coaxially opened on the protective plate. The diameter of the placement hole is smaller than the inner diameter of the bottom ring.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By using a pressing ring and a bottom ring with the same inner diameter to limit the thickness and diameter of the medicine cake, medical staff can directly put the mixed ointment into the bottom ring and the pressing ring, ensuring the stability of the diameter and thickness of the medicine cake and the stability of the treatment effect. In addition, a gauze sleeve and filter screen are placed in the middle of the medicine cake to block the wax liquid, preventing the wax liquid from flowing onto the patient's skin and causing damage, thus protecting the patient's skin and increasing safety.

[0015] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] Depend on Figures 1 to 7 The device includes a bottom ring 1 with an upper and lower axial orientation. A groove 2 is coaxially formed on the upper side of the bottom ring 1 and communicates with its interior. A clamping ring 3 is coaxially threaded onto the groove 2. The inner diameter of the clamping ring 3 is equal to the inner diameter of the bottom ring 1. A gauze sleeve 4 is coaxially placed between the lower side wall of the groove 2 and the lower end of the clamping ring 3. A filter screen 5 is coaxially placed inside the gauze sleeve 4. The outer diameters of both the gauze sleeve 4 and the filter screen 5 are larger than the inner diameter of the bottom ring 1 and smaller than the outer diameter of the groove 2. A protective plate 6 is coaxially detachably connected to the upper end of the clamping ring 3. The outer diameter of the protective plate 6 is larger than the outer diameter of the bottom ring 1. A vertically penetrating placement hole 7 is coaxially formed on the protective plate 6. The diameter of the placement hole 7 is smaller than the inner diameter of the bottom ring 1.

[0017] In order to detach and connect the protective plate 6 and the clamping ring 3, the upper end of the clamping ring 3 is provided with a plurality of connecting grooves 8 evenly distributed along its circumference and with the opening facing upward. The lower end of the protective plate 6 is fixed with a plurality of connecting rods 9 that correspond one-to-one with the connecting grooves 8 and can be inserted into the connecting grooves 8. The connecting rods 9 are provided with two grooves 10 with opposite openings. Two elastic protrusions 11 that can be inserted into the grooves 10 are fixed in the connecting grooves 8.

[0018] To prevent the clamping ring 3 from excessively squeezing the filter screen 5 and causing damage to the filter screen 5, elastic anti-pressure rings 12 are fixed to the opposite ends of the clamping ring 3 and the bottom ring 1, respectively.

[0019] To better secure the wax cylinder, a fixing ring 13 is coaxially fixed to the upper end of the protective plate 6, and the inner diameter of the fixing ring 13 is equal to the diameter of the placement hole 7.

[0020] In order to ensure combustion efficiency even when the wax cylinder is below the fixing ring 13, the fixing ring 13 is provided with a plurality of through-holes 14.

[0021] To increase the stability of the bottom ring 1, arc-shaped support plates 15 are fixed at both the left and right ends of the bottom ring 1.

[0022] In use, the initial state of this utility model is that the protective plate 6, the pressing ring 3, the gauze sleeve 4, the filter screen 5, and the bottom ring 1 are not connected together;

[0023] When umbilical fire therapy is needed for a patient, the powder and liquid medicine are mixed evenly to form a paste. Then, a clean gauze cover 4 is taken out, and the filter screen 5 is placed inside the gauze cover 4. Then, the gauze cover 4 is placed in the ring groove 2. At this time, the lower end of the gauze cover 4 contacts the anti-pressure ring 12 on the bottom ring 1, so that the lower end of the pressing ring 3 is inserted into the ring groove 2. The pressing ring 3 is rotated. Under the action of the thread, the pressing ring 3 drives the anti-pressure ring 12 to move downward and close to the gauze cover 4. After the anti-pressure ring 12 on the pressing ring 3 presses the gauze cover 4 and the filter screen 5 inside, the rotation of the pressing ring 3 is stopped.

[0024] Place the ointment into the bottom ring 1, filling the space between the gauze sleeve 4 and the bottom ring 1. Then place the ointment into the pressing ring 3, filling the space between the top of the gauze sleeve 4 and the pressing ring 3. When all the ointment is placed, the ointment fills the space formed by the bottom ring 1 and the pressing ring 3, forming a medicine cake separated in the middle by the gauze sleeve 4. At this time, the diameter of the medicine cake is equal to the inner diameter of the bottom ring 1, and the thickness of the medicine cake is similar to the distance between the upper end of the pressing ring 3 and the lower end of the bottom ring 1, thereby reducing the error in the diameter and thickness of the medicine cake each time it is used and ensuring the efficacy.

[0025] Insert the connecting rod 9 into the corresponding connecting groove 8. The elastic protrusion 11 deforms under pressure. When the elastic protrusion 11 is opposite to the groove 10, the elastic protrusion 11 returns to its original position and inserts into the groove 10, thus connecting the protective plate 6 and the clamping ring 3. Insert the wax cylinder into the fixing ring 13 and make the lower end of the wax cylinder extend out of the placement hole 7 to contact the medicine cake. Place the bottom ring 1 on the navel so that the lower end of the medicine cake under the gauze cover 4 contacts the navel. The support plate 15 contacts the skin around the patient's navel to support the bottom ring 1 and prevent the bottom ring 1 from tilting with the patient's breathing. Then, ignite the upper end of the wax cylinder to start the umbilical fire therapy. Even if the medicine cake is too dry and has cracks, the melted wax from the wax cylinder will flow through the cracks to the gauze cover 4. The wax cannot flow downwards under the obstruction of the gauze cover 4, preventing the patient from being burned, increasing the patient's comfort, and ensuring the smooth progress of the treatment. After the treatment, disassemble the various parts. After removing the filter screen 5, discard the gauze cover 4.

[0026] The protective plate 6 and the fixing ring 13 in this utility model are both made of fireproof and heat-resistant materials to prevent the wax tube from igniting them.

[0027] This utility model features a simple structure, convenient operation, novel design, and strong practicality. The diameter and thickness of the medicinal cake are limited by the bottom ring and pressing ring, ensuring the effectiveness of each treatment. The gauze sleeve and filter separate the medicinal cake in the middle, allowing heat to pass through while preventing the wax liquid from flowing onto the patient, thus protecting them from burns. A support plate supports the bottom ring, preventing it from tilting due to the patient's breathing. A protective plate further separates the wax cylinder from the patient, providing additional protection and stability to the bottom ring, making it safer and more reliable. The fixing ring ensures the stability of the wax cylinder, preventing tilting, and the vent holes ensure smooth combustion of the wax cylinder.
