Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of abdominal heat moxibustion technology, and in particular relates to an abdominal heat moxibustion device for traditional Chinese medicine gastroenterology. Background Technology
[0002] In the traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture treatment system, moxibustion is a distinctive therapy. It uses mugwort leaves as raw material to make moxa sticks, and the heat generated when the mugwort burns is used to stimulate acupoints or specific areas on the body surface. This stimulation can activate the flow of Qi (vital energy) in the body, thereby regulating disordered physiological and biochemical functions, ultimately achieving the goal of preventing and treating diseases.
[0003] Patients with indigestion often experience bloating, which can lead to abdominal pain. To relieve this symptom, massage techniques are often used to help expel gas from the abdomen. In current clinical practice, moxibustion is usually combined with massage to effectively relieve abdominal pain and accelerate gas expulsion. However, these two treatments are currently performed separately, which undoubtedly increases the overall treatment time. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine gastroenterology abdominal moxibustion device with a simple structure that combines massage and moxibustion simultaneously, relieving abdominal distension and pain while reducing the treatment time wasted by step-by-step procedures.
[0005] The aforementioned traditional Chinese medicine gastroenterology abdominal heat moxibustion device includes a vertically arranged outer cover, with a freely rotating vertical tube inserted vertically through the middle of the outer cover. A drive component for driving the rotation of the vertical tube is installed on the top plate of the outer cover. An air inlet pipe is installed at the upper end of the vertical tube, and a tube cover is detachably installed at the lower end of the vertical tube. A base is installed at the bottom of the tube cover, and a freely rotating extension is horizontally inserted inside the base. A massage roller is horizontally fixed at the left end of the extension. Channels are opened in both the massage roller and the extension. Several smoke-permeable holes communicating with the channels are opened on the outer wall of the massage roller. A connecting pipe is installed between the lower end of the vertical tube and the right end of the extension.
[0006] Furthermore, the outer wall of the massage roller is surrounded by raised ridges, and several massage balls are installed on the raised ridges.
[0007] Furthermore, a limiting tube is vertically fitted into the middle section of the vertical tube, and the outer wall of the limiting tube is fixed to the inner wall of the outer cover by a connecting rod.
[0008] Furthermore, a through hole with internal and external communication is provided on the vertical tube below the limiting tube, and an inner cover is installed at the lower end of the limiting tube.

[0011] Furthermore, a fixing pin is vertically fixed to the top of the tube cap.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] In this invention, after the moxa stick is lit, it is placed into the vertical tube from the lower end. The tube cover is then installed at the lower end of the vertical tube. The outer cover and the massage roller are placed flat on the patient's abdomen. The heat and smoke generated by the burning moxa stick enter the massage roller through the connecting tube and then contact the patient's skin through the smoke-permeable holes on the surface of the massage roller, stimulating the acupoints on the patient's abdomen. During this process, the extension part is rotated by the drive component, causing the massage roller to roll on the patient's abdomen and massage the abdomen. The two work together to relieve the patient's abdominal distension and pain while reducing the treatment time wasted by step-by-step operations. Attached Figure Description

[0018] This embodiment describes a traditional Chinese medicine gastroenterology abdominal heat therapy device, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a vertically arranged outer cover 2, which has a cylindrical structure with the opening facing downwards. The diameter of the lower opening of the outer cover 2 is larger than that of the upper opening.
[0019] A vertically rotating vertical tube 16 is vertically inserted through the middle of the outer cover 2. The upper end of the vertical tube 16 is sealed, and the lower end is open to the outside. A through hole is opened at the upper end of the outer cover 2. The upper end of the vertical tube 16 is vertically inserted into the through hole. A bearing is installed in the through hole. The outer ring of the bearing is fixed to the hole wall of the through hole, and the outer side wall of the vertical tube 16 is fixed to the inner ring of the bearing. The bearing allows the vertical tube 16 to rotate freely while it is installed in the through hole.
[0020] The top plate of the outer cover 2 is equipped with a drive component 1 for driving the vertical tube 16 to rotate. The drive component 1 is installed on the top of the outer cover 2, and the power output end of the drive component 1 is connected to the upper end of the vertical tube 16. The vertical tube 16 is controlled to rotate inside the outer cover 2 by the drive component 1. The drive component 1 is existing technology and generally adopts a servo motor.
[0021] An air inlet pipe is installed at the upper end of the vertical tube 16. A through hole with internal and external communication is opened horizontally at the upper end of the outer wall of the vertical tube 16. The air inlet pipe is horizontally inserted into the through hole. Outside air enters the vertical tube 16 through the air inlet pipe to supply the oxygen required for the burning of the moxa stick. A one-way valve can also be installed on the air inlet pipe to prevent the smoke and heat generated by the burning of the moxa stick from flowing out through the air inlet pipe.
[0022] The lower end of the vertical tube 16 is detachably equipped with a tube cover 11. The tube cover 11 is installed at the lower end of the vertical tube 16 to collect the smoke and ash produced by the burning moxa stick, while preventing the moxa stick from getting too close to the patient's skin and preventing the moxa stick from burning the patient.
[0023] A base 10 is installed at the bottom of the pipe cover 11. A freely rotatable extension 12 is horizontally inserted into the base 10. The base 10 is installed at the bottom of the pipe cover 11. A through hole is horizontally opened in the base 10. The extension 12 is horizontally inserted into the through hole and rotates freely in the through hole.
[0024] A massage roller 7 is horizontally fixed at the left end of the extension 12, and the right end of the massage roller 7 is fixed at the left end of the extension 12. The massage roller 7 and the extension 12 are an integral structure. The extension 12 is used to install the massage roller 7, and the diameter of the extension 12 is smaller than the diameter of the massage roller 7.
[0025] Both the massage roller 7 and the extension 12 have channels. The channels in the massage roller 7 and the extension 12 are used for the heat and smoke generated by the burning moxa stick to pass through, and then directly act on the patient's skin and acupoints after passing through the smoke hole 6.
[0026] Several smoke-permeable holes 6 communicating with the channel are provided on the outer wall of the massage roller 7. The smoke-permeable holes 6 are provided on the outer wall of the massage roller 7.
[0027] A connecting pipe 13 is installed between the lower end of the vertical tube 16 and the right end of the extension 12. The lower end of the outer wall of the vertical tube 16 has a through hole that connects the inside and outside. The upper end of the connecting pipe 13 is installed in the through hole, and the lower end of the connecting pipe 13 is connected to the right end of the extension 12. The heat and smoke generated by the burning moxa stick in the vertical tube 16 are introduced into the extension 12 and the massage roller 7 through the connecting pipe 13.
[0028] In this embodiment, the tube cap 11 is removed from the lower end of the vertical tube 16, the moxa stick is lit and placed inside the vertical tube 16, and then the tube cap 11 is placed back on the lower end of the vertical tube 16. The lower end of the connecting tube 13 is connected to the extension 12, and the lower end of the outer cover 2 is placed flat on the patient's abdomen, so that the massage roller 7 is placed flat on the patient's abdomen. The heat and smoke generated by the burning moxa stick are introduced into the massage roller 7 through the connecting tube 13, and come into contact with the patient's skin through the smoke-permeable holes 6 on the surface of the massage roller 7, stimulating the acupoints on the patient's abdomen. The driving component 1 drives the vertical tube 16 to rotate, and the base 10 drives the extension 12 to rotate, driving the massage roller 7 to roll on the surface of the patient's abdomen to massage the patient's abdomen. The two work together to relieve the patient's abdominal distension and pain while reducing the treatment time wasted by step-by-step operations.
[0029] In this embodiment, an elastic band can also be installed at the lower end of the outer wall of the outer cover 2. When the outer cover 2 is placed flat on the patient's abdomen, the elastic band can be wrapped around the patient's waist and abdomen to fix the outer cover 2 to the patient's abdomen and prevent the outer cover 2 from slipping off the patient's abdomen during the massage.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the pipe cover 11 is installed at the lower end of the vertical pipe 16. The pipe cover 11 and the vertical pipe 16 are threaded together. The lower end of the outer wall of the vertical pipe 16 is provided with an external thread. When the pipe cover 11 is installed at the lower end of the vertical pipe 16, the pipe cover 11 is installed by rotating the pipe cover 11 and the two are threaded together.
[0031] In this embodiment, a magnetic block can also be installed at the lower end of the vertical tube 16. The tube cover 11 is made of metal that can be attracted by the magnetic block. The tube cover 11 is close to the lower end of the vertical tube 16 and is fixed to the vertical tube 16 by the magnetic block.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the massage surface of the massage roller 7 extends beyond the lower opening of the outer cover 2. When the outer cover 2 is placed flat on the patient's abdomen, the massage roller 7 contacts the patient's abdominal skin and gently squeezes it. The rolling of the massage roller 7 massages the patient's abdomen.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a fixing pin 14 is vertically fixed to the top of the tube cap 11. The lower end of the fixing pin 14 is fixed to the top of the tube cap 11. After the moxa stick is lit, the fixing pin 14 is inserted into the moxa stick. The moxa stick is vertically placed into the vertical tube 16 through the fixing pin 14 to prevent the moxa stick from touching the inner wall of the vertical tube 16 when it is burning, thus ensuring the normal combustion of the moxa stick. Example
[0034] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer wall of the massage roller 7 is surrounded by a raised ridge 8, and several massage balls 9 are installed on the raised ridge 8. The raised ridge 8 is spirally arranged around the outer wall of the massage roller 7 and protrudes beyond the outer wall of the massage roller 7 for massaging the patient's abdomen. The massage balls 9 are installed on the raised ridge 8. When the raised ridge 8 massages the patient's abdomen, the massage balls 9 work together with the raised ridge 8 to massage the patient's abdomen. The uneven raised ridge 8 and massage balls 9 simulate the massage of the patient's palm as much as possible. Example
[0035] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 1 As shown, a limiting tube 3 is vertically installed in the middle section of the vertical tube 16. The limiting tube 3 is installed on the outer wall of the vertical tube 16. The limiting tube 3, together with the through hole opened at the top of the outer cover 2, provides support for the vertical tube 16 and prevents the vertical tube 16 from tilting left and right during use.
[0036] The outer wall of the limiting tube 3 is fixed to the inner wall of the outer cover 2 by the connecting rod 4. One end of the connecting rod 4 is fixed to the inner wall of the outer cover 2, and the other end is fixed to the limiting tube 3.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, a through hole 15 is provided on the vertical tube 16 below the limiting tube 3, which is connected to the inside and outside. An inner cover 5 is installed at the lower end of the limiting tube 3. The lower half of the vertical tube 16 is wrapped inside the inner cover 5. Some of the heat and smoke generated by the burning moxa stick overflows through the through hole 15 and comes into contact with the patient's skin to provide moxibustion for the patient's abdomen. The heat and temperature are guided to move down to the patient's abdomen through the inner cover 5.
