Moxibustion and cupping device

Abstract

This utility model discloses a moxibustion and cupping device, including a negative pressure jar that can be adsorbed onto the skin of the practitioner for cupping. The negative pressure jar has an internal combustion chamber for burning moxa sticks. A controller for controlling the negative pressure generated inside the jar, with a negative pressure pump installed inside, is also included. An air intake structure controls the air intake of the jar, ensuring sufficient oxygen while generating negative pressure, thus providing oxygen support for the burning of the moxa sticks in the combustion chamber and allowing moxibustion and cupping to be performed simultaneously. This utility model is applicable to cupping. During cupping, the moxa stick can be ignited in the combustion chamber. Because the pores of the practitioner's skin dilate during cupping, the medicinal properties of the moxa stick can penetrate the practitioner's body more quickly and effectively through the skin, complementing the cupping effect and enhancing its efficacy. Furthermore, the air intake structure ensures that moxibustion and cupping can be performed simultaneously.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cupping technology, and in particular to a moxibustion cupping device. Background Technology

[0002] Cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that promotes blood circulation, relieves pain, and reduces muscle tension by creating negative pressure on the skin surface. The basic principle of cupping is to use negative pressure to make the cups adhere tightly to the skin, thereby promoting local blood circulation and lymphatic flow to achieve therapeutic and health care effects.

[0003] Current clinical protocols often combine moxibustion and cupping in a simple linear way (such as applying moxibustion locally after cupping), without achieving a deep integration of the mechanisms of action of moxibustion and cupping. This results in limited improvement in efficacy. Open flame combustion requires a continuous supply of oxygen (the oxygen concentration inside the negative pressure cup is inversely related to the combustion requirements of moxibustion, and cannot continuously provide the oxygen support needed for combustion). Furthermore, existing protocols require step-by-step operation of moxibustion and cupping, making the treatment process cumbersome, time-consuming, and lacking automatic control functions. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects in the existing technology and provide a moxibustion cupping device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] This utility model discloses a moxibustion and cupping device, including a negative pressure jar that can be adsorbed onto the skin of the practitioner for cupping, and a moxibustion combustion chamber inside the negative pressure jar for burning moxa sticks; a controller for controlling the generation of negative pressure inside the negative pressure jar, and a negative pressure pump installed inside the controller; and an air intake structure for controlling the air intake of the negative pressure jar. Through the air intake structure, the negative pressure jar can be generated with sufficient oxygen, providing oxygen support for the burning of moxa sticks in the moxibustion combustion chamber, thereby ensuring that moxibustion and cupping can be performed simultaneously.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: the air intake structure employs a throttle valve, which connects the inside of the negative pressure tank to the outside. The throttle valve's rear end is either normally open or equipped with a normally open solenoid valve. When the throttle valve's rear end is normally open, if the air pressure inside the negative pressure tank is lower than the set pressure, the negative pressure pump starts to evacuate the tank. Since the evacuation volume is greater than the intake volume of the air intake structure, the preset pressure target of the negative pressure tank is ultimately achieved. The negative pressure pump then stops working, and the air intake structure continues to intake air into the negative pressure tank, thus achieving oxygenation of the negative pressure tank. Gas replenishment: When a normally open solenoid valve is installed at the rear end of the throttle valve, the negative pressure pump starts when the gas pressure in the negative pressure tank is lower than the set pressure. The normally open solenoid valve at the rear end of the throttle valve is simultaneously energized and closed when the negative pressure pump starts. The throttle valve closes, and the negative pressure pump directly draws gas from the negative pressure tank to achieve the preset pressure target of the negative pressure tank. The negative pressure pump stops working and at the same time cuts off the working power of the normally open solenoid valve at the rear end of the throttle valve. The normally open solenoid valve becomes normally open and continuously replenishes gas to the negative pressure tank through the intake gas flow rate controlled by the throttle valve, thus achieving oxygen replenishment of the negative pressure tank.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the controller is separate from the negative pressure tank, and the negative pressure pump in the controller is directly connected to the inside of the negative pressure tank through the air extraction pipe.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the controller is installed on the negative pressure tank, and the negative pressure pump in the controller is connected to the negative pressure tank through a suction pipe.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: a pressure sensor is installed inside the negative pressure tank or controller, located inside the suction pipe; a pressure display device and a throttle valve control knob are installed on the front surface of the controller; the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the controller; the throttle valve control knob is used to control the air intake speed of the throttle valve; and the pressure display device is used to display the pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor, and simultaneously display the upper and lower limits of the set pressure value.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: the moxibustion combustion chamber is detachably installed, the moxibustion combustion chamber has a hollow structure, the moxibustion combustion chamber is located at the bottom of the negative pressure tank, and is spaced apart from the opening of the negative pressure tank.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: the bottom surface of the negative pressure can and the top surface of the moxibustion combustion chamber are both embedded with magnet structures with opposite magnetic poles. The moxibustion combustion chamber is detachably attracted and fixed inside the negative pressure can by the attraction of the magnets, which makes it convenient to place the moxa stick.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: the mouth of the negative pressure tank is fitted with a skin-contacting component, and the bottom of the skin-contacting component is elastic.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution: the skin-touching component is detachable and includes a rigid skeleton and an elastic silicone part. The rigid skeleton has two sections connected by an elastic pressing part. The cross-section of the rigid skeleton is U-shaped and covers and fastens to the opening of the negative pressure cupping jar. The elastic silicone part has the surface of the rigid skeleton and contacts the patient's skin. An annular groove is formed on the outer side of the opening of the negative pressure cupping jar, and an elastic pressure ring is fitted inside the annular groove. When the skin-touching component is installed at the opening of the negative pressure cupping jar, the elastic pressure ring presses the elastic pressing part tightly within the annular groove. This ensures the stability of the skin-touching component installation and prevents it from falling off. When disassembly for disinfection and cleaning is required, the entire skin-touching component can be removed by pulling the elastic pressure ring. The operation is convenient and quick. This structural design means that after cupping, it is not necessary to disinfect and clean the entire negative pressure cupping jar; only the skin-touching component needs to be removed for disinfection and cleaning.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution: the controller is also equipped with a vacuum filter to filter the smoke and dust from moxibustion combustion and reduce environmental pollution.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] When cupping is performed, the device can ignite the moxa stick in the moxibustion combustion chamber. Because the pores of the practitioner's skin are open during cupping, the medicinal properties of the moxa stick can enter the practitioner's body more quickly and effectively through the skin, complementing the cupping and enhancing the cupping effect. In addition, the air intake structure can ensure that the negative pressure inside the negative pressure can also provide sufficient oxygen, providing oxygen support for the combustion of the moxa stick in the moxibustion combustion chamber, thus ensuring that moxibustion and cupping can be performed simultaneously.

[0018] The device's design of the moxibustion combustion chamber assembly structure makes the installation and disassembly of the moxibustion combustion chamber convenient and prevents accidental detachment after installation, ensuring safety during the moxibustion cupping process. At the same time, by setting a skin-touching component at the mouth of the negative pressure canister, the cupping process can be made more comfortable. After the cupping is completed, there is no need to disinfect and clean the entire negative pressure canister; only the skin-touching component needs to be removed for disinfection and cleaning, making it easy to operate.

[0019] In summary, the cupping device of this utility model has the following effects: (1) Synergistic effect: The synergistic implementation of negative pressure cupping and open flame moxibustion enhances the effect; (2) Enhanced efficacy: Pores open under negative pressure to enhance the penetration of moxibustion efficacy; (3) Reduced loss: The heat and efficacy energy of moxibustion are focused to reduce ineffective loss; (4) Reduced pollution: The closed filtration of moxibustion smoke reduces environmental diffusion pollution; (5) Enhanced loosening: The intermittent tightening and loosening under negative pressure enhances the unblocking and loosening effect; (6) Controllable temperature: The air intake regulation control stabilizes and maintains the moxibustion temperature inside the cup. At the same time, the device can automatically sense the pressure and automatically start and stop to adjust the pressure, making the operation simple and quick. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 6 This invention further illustrates the specific implementation of a moxibustion cupping device. The moxibustion cupping device of this invention is not limited to the descriptions in the following embodiments.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] This embodiment provides a moxibustion cupping device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a negative pressure cupping jar 2 that can be attached to the skin of the practitioner for cupping, and the negative pressure cupping jar 2 is provided with a moxibustion combustion chamber 4 that can ignite moxa sticks for combustion.

[0030] A controller 1 is used to control the generation of negative pressure inside the negative pressure tank 2, and a negative pressure pump is installed inside the controller 1;

[0031] The air intake structure 21, which controls the air intake of the negative pressure canister 2, ensures sufficient oxygen while generating negative pressure inside the negative pressure canister 2, providing oxygen support for the combustion of moxa sticks in the moxibustion combustion chamber 4. This allows moxibustion and cupping to be performed simultaneously. This structural design allows the device to ignite the moxa sticks in the moxibustion combustion chamber 4 during cupping. Because the pores of the practitioner's skin dilate during cupping, the medicinal properties of the moxa sticks can penetrate the practitioner's body more quickly and effectively through the skin, complementing the cupping effect and enhancing its efficacy. Furthermore, the air intake structure 21 ensures sufficient oxygen while generating negative pressure inside the negative pressure canister 2, providing oxygen support for the combustion of moxa sticks in the moxibustion combustion chamber 4, thus ensuring that moxibustion and cupping can be performed simultaneously. It should be noted that the controller 1 is also equipped with a timer to control the duration of cupping.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution:

[0033] During cupping, the pores open, enhancing the body's absorption and thus increasing the moxibustion effect. Moxibustion raises the temperature inside the negative pressure jar 2, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. The moxibustion combustion chamber 4, located inside the negative pressure jar 2, reduces the diffusion of moxa smoke and enhances the moxibustion effect. Based on this, the device uses a negative pressure pump to control the pressure inside the negative pressure jar during cupping. When the pumping speed of the negative pressure pump is greater than the intake speed of the intake structure 21, the negative pressure jar 2 continuously generates negative pressure. It stops when the pressure exceeds the set maximum value and opens when the pressure falls below the set minimum value. During this process, the intake structure 21 can ensure sufficient oxygen while generating negative pressure inside the negative pressure jar 2 through continuous or intermittent air intake, providing oxygen support for the combustion of moxa sticks in the moxibustion combustion chamber 4, ensuring that moxibustion and cupping can be performed simultaneously.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] This embodiment provides a moxibustion cupping device, which is based on Embodiment 1, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the air intake structure 21 adopts a branch interface 31, wherein the branch interface 31 is installed on the air passage structure between the negative pressure tank 2 and the negative pressure pump, and a throttle valve is connected to the branch interface 31.

[0036] Specifically, one end of the branch interface 31 is normally open. When the pressure inside the negative pressure tank 2 is lower than the set pressure, the negative pressure pump starts, and the negative pressure tank 2 and the normally open end of the branch interface 31 simultaneously draw air. Since the air volume drawn is greater than the air intake volume of the normally open end of the branch interface 31, the preset pressure target of the negative pressure tank 2 is finally achieved. The negative pressure pump stops working, and the normally open end of the branch interface 31 continues to draw air into the negative pressure tank to replenish the oxygen in the negative pressure tank.

[0037] Specifically, a normally open solenoid valve is installed on the throttle valve at one end of the branch interface 31. When the pressure inside the negative pressure tank 2 is lower than the set pressure, the negative pressure pump starts. The normally open solenoid valve of the branch interface 31 is simultaneously energized and closed when the negative pressure pump starts. With the branch interface 31 closed, the negative pressure pump directly draws air from the negative pressure tank 2, ultimately achieving the preset pressure target of the negative pressure tank. The negative pressure pump stops working and simultaneously cuts off the power supply to the normally open solenoid valve, making the normally open solenoid valve normally open. Through the airflow rate controlled by the throttle valve, the negative pressure tank is continuously replenished with air, thus achieving oxygen replenishment for the negative pressure tank.

[0038] Example 3:

[0039] This embodiment provides a moxibustion cupping device, which is based on Embodiment 1, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the air intake structure 21 uses an air intake pipe 5 and a throttle valve. The throttle valve is installed on the controller 1, and the air intake pipe 5 is connected to the throttle valve. When the pressure inside the negative pressure tank 2 is lower than the set pressure, the negative pressure pump starts to evacuate the negative pressure tank 2, and at the same time, the air intake pipe 5 starts to intake air. Since the amount of air evacuated is greater than the amount of air intake through the air intake pipe 5, the preset pressure target of the negative pressure tank 2 is finally achieved. The negative pressure pump stops working, and the air intake pipe 5 continues to intake air into the negative pressure tank to replenish the oxygen in the negative pressure tank.

[0040] As can be seen from Examples 1-3, this device can form a continuous breathing-relaxation cupping method, which, compared to the traditional one-time fixed pressure method without a relaxation process, has a better cupping effect.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, in order to achieve pressure control of the negative pressure tank 2, in this embodiment, a pressure sensor is installed inside the negative pressure tank 2 or inside the controller 1 at a position inside the suction pipe 3. A pressure display device 100 and a throttle valve control knob 101 are installed on the front surface of the controller 1. The pressure sensor is electrically connected to the controller 1. The throttle valve control knob 101 is used to control the air intake speed of the throttle valve. The pressure display device 100 is used to display the pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor, and at the same time displays the upper and lower limits of the set pressure value.

[0042] Example 4:

[0043] This embodiment provides a moxibustion cupping device, such as... Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, based on Example 1, in order to combine cupping with moxibustion and improve the cupping effect, in this example, the moxibustion combustion chamber 4 is detachably installed and has a hollow structure. The moxibustion combustion chamber 4 is located at the bottom of the negative pressure jar 2 and is spaced apart from the opening of the negative pressure jar 2.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown, in order to achieve the detachable installation of the moxibustion combustion chamber 4, in this embodiment, the bottom surface of the inner side of the negative pressure tank 2 and the top surface of the moxibustion combustion chamber 4 are both embedded with magnet structures with opposite magnetic poles. The moxibustion combustion chamber 4 is detachably attracted and fixed inside the negative pressure tank 2 by the attraction of the magnets, which makes it convenient to place the moxa stick.

[0045] Example 5:

[0046] This embodiment provides a moxibustion cupping device, such as... Figure 3 - Figure 5 As shown in Example 1, in order to make the negative pressure canister 2 more comfortable when it is attached to the operator, in this example, the mouth of the negative pressure canister 2 is covered with a skin-contacting component 20, and the bottom of the skin-contacting component 20 is elastic.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 3 - Figure 5 As shown, since the negative pressure cupping jar 2 needs to come into contact with the patient's skin during cupping, it needs to be disinfected and cleaned after use. For ease of cleaning, in this embodiment, the skin-contact component 20 is detachable. The skin-contact component 20 includes a rigid skeleton part 200 and an elastic silicone part 202. The rigid skeleton part 200 has two sections, connected by an elastic pressing part 201. The cross-section of the rigid skeleton part 200 is U-shaped, covering and fastening the opening of the negative pressure cupping jar 2. The elastic silicone part 202 is disposed on the surface of the rigid skeleton part 200 and comes into contact with the patient's skin. An annular groove 23 is provided on the outer side of the opening of the negative pressure cupping jar 2, and an elastic pressure ring 22 is fitted inside the annular groove 23. When the skin contact component 20 is installed at the opening of the negative pressure cupping jar 2, the elastic pressure ring 22 presses the elastic pressing part 201 tightly in the annular groove 23. This ensures that the skin contact component 20 is installed stably and is not easy to fall off. When it is necessary to disassemble for disinfection and cleaning, the entire skin contact component 20 can be removed by pulling the elastic pressure ring 22. The operation is convenient and quick. This structure means that after cupping is completed, it is not necessary to disinfect and clean the entire negative pressure cupping jar 2. Only the skin contact component 20 needs to be removed for disinfection and cleaning.

[0048] Example 6:

[0049] This embodiment provides a moxibustion cupping device. Based on embodiment 1, the controller 1 is installed on the negative pressure tank 2 to form an integrated structure. The negative pressure pump in the controller 1 is directly connected to the negative pressure tank 2.
