Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clinical treatment and nursing equipment technology, specifically to an infrared acupoint moxibustion device. Background Technology

[0002] Infrared moxibustion, as a non-invasive physical therapy, has been widely used in the field of traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy in recent years. Its basic principle is to use the thermal effect of infrared radiation to stimulate acupoints or local tissues to achieve effects such as warming the meridians, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and relieving pain.

[0003] Currently, most infrared moxibustion devices on the market use broad-spectrum infrared light sources, radiating heat energy onto the human body surface through simple reflector or lens structures. These devices have a large infrared radiation range and dispersed energy, making it difficult to precisely focus on specific acupoints, thus limiting the therapeutic effect. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes "accurate acupoint targeting for optimal effect," therefore, existing infrared moxibustion devices cannot meet the precise stimulation requirements of traditional moxibustion. Furthermore, they generate a large amount of heat after prolonged use, causing the moxibustion head to overheat, potentially burning the skin and shortening the device's lifespan. While some products have ventilation holes, the airflow path is unreasonable, resulting in low heat dissipation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes an infrared acupoint moxibustion device.

[0005] This utility model proposes an infrared acupoint moxibustion device, comprising:

[0006] The moxibustion head has one end proximal to the skin and the other end opposite to the proximal end to the skin.

[0007] The proximal end of the moxibustion head has a lens and an external air inlet distributed around the lens, while the distal end or the side wall near the distal end of the moxibustion head has an air outlet and a wiring terminal.

[0008] The moxibustion head is equipped with a support base, a reflector, a cooling fan, and an infrared heating element.

[0009] The support has an abdominal cavity inside. The support has a front support surface that is opposite to the skin end and a rear support surface that is opposite to the skin end. The front support surface is provided with a front opening that connects to the abdominal cavity and an inner air inlet distributed around the front opening. The rear support surface is provided with a rear opening that connects to the abdominal cavity.

[0010] The reflector is installed on the front support surface of the support base, with the bowl end of the reflector abutting against the lens, and the bottom end of the reflector connecting and communicating with the front opening on the front support surface; the inner air inlet on the front support surface is located on the outer periphery of the reflector.

[0011] The infrared heating element is located inside the front port and electrically connected to the wiring terminal; the cooling fan is installed at the rear port.

[0012] Preferably, the proximal end of the moxibustion head is an open end, and the lens is located inside the proximal end and a gap is reserved between it and the port of the proximal end.

[0013] Preferably, the inner side of the skin-proximal end is provided with a built-in end cap, the center of the end cap is provided with a central hole, and the outer periphery of the end cap is provided with a through hole to form an external air inlet; the lens is located in the center of the end cap and is pressed and fixed to the bowl end of the reflector bowl by the end cap.

[0014] Preferably, the reflector bowl has a pressure ring at the rim, and the lens is located between the end cap and the pressure ring.

[0015] Preferably, the lens material is zinc selenide.

[0016] Preferably, the inner wall of the reflective bowl is plated with gold.

[0017] Preferably, the infrared heating element has a coil-shaped structure.

[0018] Preferably, the side wall of the support base is provided with a through-hole that connects to its abdominal cavity, and a connecting wire is provided inside the abdominal cavity. One end of the connecting wire is connected to an infrared heating element, and the other end passes through the through-hole and is connected to a terminal.

[0019] Preferably, the rear support surface of the support base is provided with a bracket, and the cooling fan is mounted on the bracket.

[0020] Preferably, it also includes a frame, which includes a column, a base disposed at the bottom of the column, and a movable arm disposed at the top of the column, with the moxibustion head mounted at the end of the movable arm.

[0021] In this invention, a lens is positioned near the skin of the moxibustion head, with an external air inlet on the outer periphery of the lens and an air outlet on the side wall at or near the skin's distal end. Inside the moxibustion head are a support base, a reflector bowl, a cooling fan, and an infrared heating element. An abdominal cavity is formed within the support base, with a front opening and an internal air inlet on the front support surface and a rear opening on the rear support surface.

Furthermore, the combination of an external air inlet and an internal air inlet, along with the abdominal cavity and cooling fan, optimizes the airflow path. This allows external cool air to enter the abdominal cavity through the external and internal air inlets, flow past the infrared heating element and reflector bowl, and then exit through the air outlet. This effectively reduces the lens temperature, avoiding the risk of burns, while ensuring rapid heat dissipation from the infrared heating element and lens area, preventing overheating and improving safety and lifespan. Therefore, compared with existing technologies, the structural design of this invention ensures efficient heat dissipation, avoids burns, improves equipment safety and lifespan, and optimizes the focusing and output of infrared energy, making moxibustion more precise, safe, and stable.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-4This utility model proposes an infrared acupoint moxibustion device, comprising: a moxibustion head 1, one end of which is a proximal end and the other end opposite to the proximal end is a distal end. The proximal end of the moxibustion head 1 has a lens 2 and an external air inlet 3 distributed around the outer periphery of the lens 2, and the lens 2 is made of zinc selenide to protect the eyes and skin from infrared light damage.

[0028] The distal end or the side wall near the distal end of the moxibustion head 1 has a wiring terminal 11 and an air outlet 4. The wiring terminal 11 adopts an aviation socket.

[0029] The moxibustion head 1 is internally equipped with a support base 5, a reflector bowl 6, a cooling fan 7, and an infrared heating element 8. The support base 5 has an abdominal cavity inside. The support base 5 has a front support surface opposite to the proximal end and a rear support surface opposite to the distal end. The front support surface has a front opening communicating with the abdominal cavity and an internal air inlet 502 distributed around the outer periphery of the front opening. The rear support surface has a rear opening communicating with the abdominal cavity and is equipped with a bracket 12.

[0030] The reflector bowl 6 is installed on the front support surface of the support base 5, and the bowl end of the reflector bowl 6 abuts against the lens 2 to form a closed optical path, reduce energy loss, and focus the infrared light on the target acupoint, thereby improving the accuracy of moxibustion. The bottom end of the reflector bowl 6 is connected to and conducts through the front opening set on the front support surface; the inner air inlet 502 set on the front support surface is located on the outer periphery of the reflector bowl 6.

[0031] The infrared heating element 8 is located inside the front opening and is electrically connected to the terminal 11. Specifically, the side wall of the support base 5 is provided with a through-hole 501 that connects to its abdominal cavity. A connecting wire is provided inside the abdominal cavity. One end of the connecting wire is connected to the infrared heating element 8, and the other end passes through the through-hole 501 and connects to the terminal 11, so as to form an electrical connection between the infrared heating element 8 and the terminal 11.

[0032] The cooling fan 7 is located at the rear end and mounted on the bracket 12 to guide the air near the skin from the outer air inlet 3 and the inner air inlet 502 into the abdominal cavity with the support base 5, and then exhaust it from the air outlet 4.

[0033] During moxibustion, the proximal end of the device can be placed close to the patient's acupoints. External cold air enters the abdominal cavity through the external air inlet 3 and the internal air inlet 502, flows through the infrared heating element 8 and the reflector bowl 6, and is then discharged from the air outlet 4 to reduce the temperature of the lens 2 and avoid the risk of burns. At the same time, it enables rapid heat dissipation of the infrared heating element 8 and the area of ​​the lens 2, preventing the device from overheating and improving safety and service life.

[0034] Reference Figure 5The present invention discloses an infrared acupoint moxibustion device, which further includes a frame. The frame includes a column 13, a base 14 disposed at the bottom of the column 13, and a movable arm 15 disposed at the top of the column 13. The moxibustion head 1 is installed at the end of the movable arm 15. The height and position of the moxibustion head 1 can be arbitrarily adjusted by means of the movable arm 15.

[0035] Specifically: the movable arm 15 includes a first arm fixedly connected to the column 13, a second arm connected to the first arm via a movable joint 16, and a third arm connected to the second arm via a movable joint 16, with the moxibustion head 1 installed at the end of the third arm.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the proximal end of the moxibustion head 1 is an open end, and the lens 2 is located inside the proximal end with a pre-reserved gap between it and the port of the proximal end. Specifically, the inner side of the proximal end is provided with a built-in end cap 9, the center of the end cap 9 has a central hole, and the outer periphery of the end cap 9 has a through hole to form an external air inlet 3; the lens 2 is located in the center of the end cap 9 and is pressed and fixed to the bowl end of the reflector bowl 6 by the end cap 9 to ensure that the lens 2 does not come into contact with human skin.

[0037] The inner wall of the reflector bowl 6 is gold-plated to ensure uniform light reflection from the infrared heating wire, preventing light loss and maximizing utilization. A pressure ring 10 is located at the rim of the reflector bowl 6, with the lens 2 positioned between the end cap 9 and the pressure ring 10. This increases the contact area between the reflector bowl 6 and the lens 2, alleviates pressure on the port of the reflector bowl 6, and ensures a tight seal between the lens 2 and the reflector bowl 6.

[0038] The infrared heating element 8 has a coil-shaped structure to increase its surface area and ensure airflow.

[0039] As can be seen from the above, this utility model arranges the rim of the reflector bowl 6 against the lens 2 to form a closed optical path, reducing energy loss and focusing infrared light onto the target acupoint, thus improving the accuracy of moxibustion. Combined with the focusing effect of the reflector bowl 6, it ensures efficient output of infrared energy and enhances the therapeutic effect. Furthermore, the external air inlet 3 and internal air inlet 502, along with the abdominal cavity and cooling fan 7, optimize the airflow path, allowing external cold air to enter the abdominal cavity through the external air inlet 3 and internal air inlet 502, flow through the infrared heating element 8 and reflector bowl 6, and then exit from the air outlet 4. This effectively reduces the temperature of the lens 2, avoiding the risk of burns, while ensuring rapid heat dissipation in the area of ​​the infrared heating element 8 and lens 2, preventing overheating and improving safety and lifespan. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the structural design of this utility model ensures efficient heat dissipation, avoids burns, improves equipment safety and lifespan, and optimizes the focusing and output of infrared energy, making moxibustion more precise, safe, and stable.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
