Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxibustion therapy technology, and in particular to a moxibustion device for centered alignment along the Du meridian. Background Technology
[0002] The Governing Vessel (Du Mai) is an important meridian in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Moxibustion along the Governing Vessel can warm the meridians and dispel cold, strengthen Yang and consolidate the body, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and disperse nodules and reduce swelling. Traditional Governing Vessel moxibustion involves having the patient lie face down on the bed with their back exposed. Moxibustion is performed on the spine from the Dazhui (GV14) to the Yaoshu (GV2) acupoint. After routine disinfection, ginger juice is applied to the treatment area, and then a moxibustion device is placed on the treatment area. Ginger paste is placed under the device, and finally, a triangular cone-shaped moxa cone or moxa wool is placed on top of the ginger paste. The moxa wool is then ignited for moxibustion.
[0003] Existing moxibustion devices have a fixed structure and cannot adapt to the different spinal shapes of patients. In particular, they cannot be aligned with the entire Du meridian for patients with scoliosis, resulting in poor treatment effects. In addition, there are no temperature monitoring and alarm devices during the entire moxibustion process. Medical staff can only judge whether the moxibustion temperature is appropriate based on their experience, which easily leads to the risk of burns. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a moxibustion device for centering the Du meridian. This device can be easily slidably adjusted to achieve centering alignment with the Du meridian.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention can adopt the following technical solution:
[0006] The Du Meridian-centered moxibustion device of this utility model includes a molded rod, a plurality of body surface fixing seats arranged along the molded rod, and a plurality of moxibustion boxes correspondingly fitted into the body surface fixing seats. The body surface fixing seats have a U-shaped structure, and first ventilation holes are evenly distributed on their bottom plates. Adjacent body surface fixing seats are slidably connected by a horizontally arranged guide mechanism. The moxibustion box consists of a lower box body with an upper opening structure and an upper cover body that is sealed on the opening of the lower box body. Second ventilation holes are evenly distributed on the bottom wall of the lower box body, and a partition plate is movably placed inside the lower box body. Third ventilation holes are evenly distributed on the upper cover body, and a matching slot for holding the molded rod is provided at the center of the top wall of the upper cover body.
[0007] Furthermore, the guiding mechanism includes a horizontal slide rail disposed on the front edge of the base plate of the body surface fixing seat, and a horizontal track groove formed on the rear edge of the base plate of the body surface fixing seat and matching the horizontal slide rail; wherein, the cross-section of the horizontal slide rail and the horizontal track groove are both T-shaped structures, effectively preventing the horizontal slide rail from slipping out of the horizontal track groove.
[0008] Furthermore, to prevent burns to the patient's skin during moxibustion, the upper and lower openings of the first vent are staggered, and the upper and lower openings are connected by a Z-shaped channel to form a burn-proof channel.
[0009] Furthermore, multiple horizontal slots are evenly spaced along the height direction on the inner sides of the two upright plates of the body surface fixation base, and multiple horizontal protrusions are evenly spaced along the height direction on the outer side wall of the moxibustion box, which slide and insert into the horizontal slots. Through the sliding insertion and engagement of the horizontal slots and horizontal protrusions, the moxibustion box can be easily installed in the body surface fixation base, and the height of the moxibustion box installed in the body surface fixation base can be adjusted as needed, thereby changing the temperature during moxibustion.
[0010] Furthermore, a temperature sensor is embedded on the upper surface of the base plate of the body surface fixation seat, and an alarm light connected to the temperature sensor is installed on the outer side of the upright plate of the body surface fixation seat. The temperature sensor monitors the moxibustion temperature in real time, and the alarm light will promptly sound an alarm when the temperature is too high to prevent the patient from being burned.
[0011] Furthermore, a flexible positioning patch for attaching to the patient's back can be provided. The flexible positioning patch has an I-shaped structure, with a strip-shaped positioning hole in the middle for positioning the arrangement direction of the body surface fixation seat. A lumbar acupoint positioning rod is attached to the strip-shaped positioning hole along the width direction.
[0012] Furthermore, the top surface of the flexible positioning patch is provided with a first positioning mark for positioning the center line of the strip positioning hole. There are two first positioning marks, which are located at both ends of the strip positioning hole respectively. The two first positioning marks can locate the center line position of the strip positioning hole, and then cooperate with the molding rod to bend the flexible positioning patch so that the flexible positioning patch can be attached to the patient's back according to the direction of the Du meridian.
[0013] Furthermore, multiple pairs of second positioning marks for positioning the Yaoshu acupoint positioning rod are evenly spaced on the top surface of the flexible positioning sticker located at one end of the strip positioning hole. Each pair of second positioning marks is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the strip positioning hole. The second positioning marks enable the Yaoshu acupoint positioning rod to be more accurately positioned when it is pasted and fixed on the strip positioning hole.
[0014] The advantage of this invention lies in its ability to bend the shaping rod according to the patient's spinal shape, ensuring that the shaping rod conforms to the spinal shape. This allows for the sliding adjustment of the positions of adjacent surface fixation seats, arranging the entire row of surface fixation seats along the bending direction of the shaping rod. This adapts to the spinal shapes of different patients, especially those with scoliosis, ensuring that the moxibustion box, which is installed in the surface fixation seat, can directly target the Du meridian of the patient's spine for moxibustion treatment, guaranteeing a good therapeutic effect while preventing burns to the patient's skin.

[0022] 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.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the Du meridian moxibustion device of this utility model includes a molded rod 1, a body surface fixing seat 2, and a moxibustion box 3. The molded rod 1 can be bent to conform to the spinal shape of the patient undergoing Du meridian moxibustion, ensuring consistency with the spinal alignment when the patient is prone. Multiple body surface fixing seats 2 are arranged along the molded rod 1. The number of moxibustion boxes 3 is the same as the number of body surface fixing seats 2, and they are correspondingly fitted into each body surface fixing seat 2.
[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the body surface fixing seat 2 is formed by a rectangular base plate 2.1 and a pair of upright plates 2.2 that are vertically fixed to the left and right edges of the base plate 2.1, forming an overall U-shaped structure.
[0025] The base plate 2.1 of the body surface fixation seat 2 has evenly distributed first ventilation holes 4, such as Figure 2 As shown, the upper opening 4.1 and the lower opening 4.2 of the first ventilation hole 4 are staggered, and the upper opening 4.1 and the lower opening 4.2 are connected by a Z-shaped channel 4.3, thereby forming a burn-proof channel, which can effectively prevent burns to the patient's skin during moxibustion.
[0026] The two adjacent surface fixing seats 2 are slidably connected by a horizontally set guide mechanism, such as Figure 3 As shown, the guiding mechanism includes a horizontal slide rail 5 disposed on the front edge of the base plate 2.1 of the body surface fixation seat 2, and a horizontal track groove 6 disposed on the rear edge of the base plate 2.1 of the body surface fixation seat 2. The horizontal track groove 6 matches the horizontal slide rail 5. Through the horizontal slide rail 5 on the rear body surface fixation seat 2 and the horizontal track groove 6 on the front body surface fixation seat 2, the connection between the two body surface fixation seats 2 can be easily realized, and the sliding engagement of the two body surface fixation seats 2 can be realized. This allows the body surface fixation seats 2 to be translatably slid as needed, so that the entire row of body surface fixation seats 2 can be translated according to the patient's spinal morphology when arranged (e.g., Figure 6 As shown in the figure, it can adapt to the spinal shape of different patients, especially those with scoliosis. In addition, to ensure the tight connection between the horizontal slide rail 5 and the horizontal track groove 6, the cross-section of both the horizontal slide rail 5 and the horizontal track groove 6 can be set as a T-shaped structure, thereby forming a clamp between the horizontal track groove 6 and the horizontal slide rail 5, ensuring that the horizontal slide rail 5 can slide within the horizontal track groove 6 while effectively preventing the horizontal slide rail 5 from slipping out of the horizontal track groove 6.
[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the moxibustion box 3 consists of a lower box body 3.1 with an upper opening and an upper cover body 3.2 that is sealed to the lower box body 3.1. The lower box 3.1 has evenly distributed second vent holes 7 on its bottom wall to allow heat to dissipate downwards. A partition plate 8 is also movably placed inside the lower box 3.1, which can separate the inner cavity of the lower box 3.1, so that the upper part of the partition plate 8 is a combustion chamber for placing mugwort (or mugwort sticks), and the lower part is a heat insulation chamber for placing ginger paste to dispel cold. The upper cover 3.2 is used to cover the upper opening of the lower box 3.1. In order to prevent the air pressure inside the lower box 3.1 from being too high due to the burning of mugwort, the upper cover 3.2 also has evenly distributed third vent holes 9 to ensure heat dissipation. A matching slot 10 for holding the molding rod 1 is also provided at the center of the top wall of the upper cover 3.2. The direction of the matching slot 10 should be consistent with the arrangement direction of the surface fixing seat 2 so that it can be clamped and matched according to the direction of the molding rod 1.
[0028] To ensure that the moxibustion box 3 can be securely fastened inside the body surface fixation box 2, and to ensure that the moxibustion box 3 can be quickly removed from the body surface fixation box 2 after use, such as Figure 5As shown, multiple horizontal slots 11 can be evenly spaced along the height direction on the inner sides of the two upright plates 2.2 of the body surface fixation base 2, and multiple horizontal protrusions 12 can be evenly spaced along the height direction on the outer walls of the left and right sides of the moxibustion box 3. The horizontal protrusions 12 match the horizontal slots 11. Through the sliding insertion of the horizontal protrusions 12 and the horizontal slots 11, the moxibustion box 3 can be easily installed in the body surface fixation base 2. The height of the moxibustion box 3 installed in the body surface fixation base 2 can be adjusted as needed, thereby forming a gap between the moxibustion box 3 and the bottom plate 2.1 of the body surface fixation base 2 to change the temperature during moxibustion.
[0029] In order to provide timely alarm when the temperature of the moxibustion is too high, a temperature sensor 13 can be embedded on the upper surface of the base plate 2.1 of each body surface fixation seat 2, and an alarm light 14 corresponding to the temperature sensor 13 can be set on the outer side of one of the upright plates 2.2 of each body surface fixation seat 2. The signal input terminal of the alarm light 14 is electrically connected to the signal output terminal of the temperature sensor 13 located on the same body surface fixation seat 2, so that the temperature of the moxibustion can be monitored in real time through the temperature sensor 13, and an alarm can be issued in time through the alarm light 14 when the temperature is too high, thereby reducing the risk of burns to patients.
[0030] Furthermore, to facilitate precise positioning of the spine from the Dazhui acupoint to the Yaoshu acupoint on the patient's back, a flexible positioning patch 15 can be attached to the patient's back, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the flexible positioning patch 15 has an overall I-shaped structure, with a strip-shaped positioning hole 16 in the middle for positioning the arrangement direction of the surface fixation base 2. The length of the strip-shaped positioning hole 16 should be longer than the length of the patient's back spine from the Dazhui acupoint to the Yaoshu acupoint, so as to ensure that the section of the spine from the Dazhui acupoint to the Yaoshu acupoint can be framed within the strip-shaped positioning hole 16. Thus, the surface fixation base 2 is positioned and restricted through the strip-shaped positioning hole 16, so that the surface fixation base 2 is arranged within the strip-shaped positioning hole 16, which plays a limiting and guiding role in the arrangement direction of the surface fixation base 2. A lumbar acupoint positioning rod 17 is also attached to the strip positioning hole 16. The lumbar acupoint positioning rod 17 is set along the width of the strip positioning hole 16. Its bottom surface has an adhesive layer that can be pasted onto the flexible positioning stickers 15 on the left and right sides of the strip positioning hole 16, so as to accurately locate the position of the lumbar acupoint. This allows patients with short stature or children to accurately outline the spine from the Dazhui acupoint to the lumbar acupoint when using the flexible positioning stickers 15, ensuring that the body surface fixation seat 2 is arranged between the Dazhui acupoint and the lumbar acupoint.
[0031] To ensure the flexible positioning patch 15 can be accurately adhered to the patient's back by aligning it with the shaping rod 1, two first positioning marks 18 are provided on the top surface of the flexible positioning patch 15 to locate the midline of the strip positioning hole 16. These first positioning marks 18 are located at the midpoints of both ends of the strip positioning hole 16. The two first positioning marks 18 allow the midline position of the strip positioning hole 16 to be located, thus aligning it with the shaping rod 1 and ensuring that the flexible positioning patch 15 can be bent and adhered along the bending direction of the shaping rod 1, thereby allowing the flexible positioning patch 15 to be attached to the patient's back along the direction of the Du meridian. Additionally, multiple pairs of second positioning marks 19 are evenly spaced on the top surface of the flexible positioning patch 15 at one end of the strip positioning hole 16 to locate the Yaoshu acupoint positioning rod 17. Each pair of second positioning marks 19 is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the strip positioning hole 16, ensuring that the Yaoshu acupoint positioning rod 17 is adhered along the width direction of the strip positioning hole 16.
[0032] When using it, first bend the shaping rod 1 according to the imaging contrast to make it consistent with the shape of the patient's spine (from the Dazhui acupoint to the Yaoshu acupoint).
[0033] Then, according to the molding rod 1, the flexible positioning patch 15 is pasted on the back of the patient in the prone position. The bending shape of the flexible positioning patch 15 is consistent with the molding rod 1, so that the strip positioning hole 16 on the flexible positioning patch 15 can just frame the section of the patient's spine from the Dazhui acupoint to the Yaoshu acupoint. Then, according to the specific location of the Yaoshu acupoint, the Yaoshu acupoint positioning rod 17 is pasted on, so as to accurately locate the section of the spine from the Dazhui acupoint to the Yaoshu acupoint.
[0034] Then, the body surface fixation seats 2 can be arranged according to the strip positioning holes 16 so that they are consistent with the direction of the patient's spine from the Dazhui acupoint to the Yaoshu acupoint. A moxibustion box 3 is installed in each body surface fixation seat 2. First, a layer of ginger mud is laid in the moxibustion box 3, then the partition plate 8 is covered, and then mugwort or moxa sticks are placed on the partition plate 8 and lit. Finally, the cover body 3.2 is closed, and Du moxibustion treatment can be performed.
[0035] Finally, the shaping rod 1 can be clipped into the comparison slot 10 on the top of each moxibustion box 3 for comparison, ensuring that the arrangement direction of the body surface fixation seat 2 and the moxibustion box 3 is consistent with the direction of the patient's spine from the Dazhui acupoint to the Yaoshu acupoint, adapting to the spinal shape of different patients, especially adapting to the spinal shape of patients with scoliosis, so that the moxibustion box can be directly aligned with the Du meridian of the patient's spine for moxibustion, ensuring good Du meridian moxibustion treatment effect, while also effectively preventing burns to the patient's skin.
[0036] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0037] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0038] Furthermore, in this utility model, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.
