Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxibustion therapy technology, specifically to a small moxibustion tube for storing energy and clearing ash. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy, moxibustion with small tubes is a common thermotherapy tool widely used to relieve muscle pain and promote blood circulation. Its basic principle is to ignite a moxa stick placed inside the tube, using the heat generated by the burning moxa stick to provide thermal stimulation to specific acupoints or areas to achieve therapeutic purposes. However, an important issue that cannot be ignored when using this type of moxibustion is the cleaning up after the moxa stick has burned out.

[0003] Existing moxibustion tube designs with cleanable ash removal typically include a push-button mechanism for ejecting the burnt moxa stick. The original intention of this design was to allow users to easily remove residue from the tube after the moxa stick has burned out, keeping the tube clean and reusable. However, due to the high temperature of combustion and the chemical reaction with air, the burnt moxa stick often hardens and adheres to the needle. Existing push-button mechanisms usually require users to manually apply sufficient pressure, ensuring the button is pressed deeper than the length of the needle inserted into the moxa stick, to ensure the stick is completely detached. This not only increases the button's length but also increases the difficulty of pressing. Shortening the needle's insertion length and adjusting the button's travel to reduce the difficulty of pressing would not be conducive to securing the moxa stick. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a small tube moxibustion device for energy storage and ash removal, so as to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A small tube moxibustion device for ash removal with energy storage includes an outer tube, an energy storage mechanism, a needle, a metal cover, and a base. The base is detachably connected to the lower end of the outer tube. A moxibustion hole is opened in the middle of the bottom wall of the base, and several air holes are opened in the peripheral wall of the base. The metal cover is arranged downwardly inside the outer tube. The fixed end of the needle is fixedly connected to the inner peripheral wall of the outer tube, and the sharp end of the needle passes through the top wall of the metal cover and extends into the inside of the metal cover. The energy storage mechanism includes a button, an inner tube, two sets of sliders, a first spring, a second spring, and a fixing plate.

[0006] The inner cylinder is located inside the outer cylinder, the metal cover is located inside the inner cylinder, the first spring is sleeved on the outside of the inner cylinder, and the two ends of the first spring are fixedly connected to the top of the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder respectively. The top of the outer cylinder extends downward to provide a button seat for the button to move and extend. The fixing plate is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the button seat, and the pin is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the fixing plate.

[0007] The button has a trapezoidal groove, and two sets of sliders are arranged opposite each other in the trapezoidal groove. Each set of sliders has a first guide slope that matches the inclined side of the trapezoidal groove. The adjacent surfaces of the two sets of sliders have spring grooves. The two ends of the second spring are respectively arranged in the two spring grooves. The far surfaces of the two sets of sliders have locking tongues. The inner cylinder peripheral wall has locking holes that match the locking tongues.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During moxibustion therapy, the inner cylinder is in a locked state. Under the action of the second spring, the two sliders move away from each other, and the locking tongue extends into the lock hole to lock the inner cylinder. When cleaning is required, simply remove the base and press the button. External force is transmitted to the two sliders through the first guide slope. Under the guidance of the first guide slope, the two sliders move closer to each other and compress the second spring. At this time, the locking tongue disengages from the lock hole, thereby unlocking the inner cylinder. Under the action of the first spring, the inner cylinder moves downward quickly and drives the metal cover downward, thereby pushing the moxa stick out from the needle. This design button only serves as an unlocking mechanism to unlock the inner cylinder. There is no need to apply sufficient pressure. The elastic potential energy of the first spring is converted into kinetic energy to push the moxa stick out instantly. In addition, there is no need to adjust the depth of the needle insertion into the moxa stick, ensuring the moxa stick is firmly fixed. Furthermore, the height of the first spring after its release replaces the pressing height of the button, greatly reducing the difficulty of pressing.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0010] Furthermore, a second guide slope is provided below the locking tongue, which is adapted to the inner edge of the upper end of the inner cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the top wall of the outer cylinder is provided with several smoke exhaust holes, and the top wall of the metal cover is provided with through holes that communicate with the smoke exhaust holes.

[0012] Furthermore, the perforations on the metal cover are covered with filter elements.

[0013] Furthermore, a filter screen is placed over the moxibustion holes.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom of the base is connected to a ring-shaped adhesive part.

[0015] Furthermore, the adhesive part includes an annular silicone sheet, a mounting block, and double-sided adhesive tape; the mounting block is connected to the upper end face of the annular silicone sheet, and the lower end face of the base is provided with a mounting groove. The mounting block is fixedly set in the mounting groove, and one adhesive side of the double-sided adhesive tape is attached to the lower end face of the annular silicone sheet.

[0016] Furthermore, the other adhesive side of the double-sided adhesive tape is covered with release paper. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1-5 As shown in Embodiment 1, a small-tube moxibustion device for energy storage and ash removal includes an outer cylinder 1, an energy storage mechanism 2, a needle 3, a metal cover 4, and a base 5. The base 5 is detachably connected to the lower end of the outer cylinder 1. A moxibustion hole 51 is opened in the middle of the bottom wall of the base 5, and several air holes 52 are opened in the peripheral wall of the base 5. The metal cover 4 is arranged downwardly inside the outer cylinder 1. The fixed end of the needle 3 is fixedly connected to the inner peripheral wall of the outer cylinder 1, and the pointed end of the needle 3 passes through the top wall of the metal cover 4 and extends into the interior of the metal cover 4. The energy storage mechanism 2 includes a button 21, an inner cylinder 22, two sets of sliders 23, a first spring 24, a second spring 25, and a fixing plate 26.

[0026] The inner cylinder 22 is located inside the outer cylinder 1, the metal cover 4 is located inside the inner cylinder 22, the first spring 24 is sleeved on the outside of the inner cylinder 22, and the two ends of the first spring 24 are fixedly connected to the top of the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 22 respectively. The top of the outer cylinder 1 extends downward to provide a button seat 11 for the button 21 to move and extend. The fixing piece 26 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the button seat 11, and the pin 3 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the fixing piece 26.

[0027] The button 21 has a trapezoidal groove 211, and two sets of sliders 23 are arranged opposite each other in the trapezoidal groove 211. Each set of sliders 23 has a first guide slope 231 that matches the inclined side of the trapezoidal groove 211. The adjacent surfaces of the two sets of sliders 23 are provided with spring grooves 232. The two ends of the second spring 25 are respectively provided in the two spring grooves 232. The far surfaces of the two sets of sliders 23 are provided with locking tongues 233. The peripheral wall of the inner cylinder 22 is provided with locking holes 221 that match the locking tongues 233.

[0028] During moxibustion therapy, the inner cylinder 22 is in a locked state. Under the action of the second spring 25, the two sliders 23 move away, and the locking tongue 233 extends into the locking hole 221 to lock the inner cylinder 22. When cleaning is required, simply remove the base 5 and press the button 21. External force is transmitted to the two sliders 23 through the first guide slope 231. Guided by the first guide slope 231, the two sliders 23 move closer to each other and compress the second spring 25. At this time, the locking tongue 233 disengages from the locking hole 221, thereby unlocking the inner cylinder 22. The inner cylinder 22 is then released by the first spring 24. Under the action of the first spring 24, the moxa stick moves downward quickly and drives the metal cover 4 downward, thereby pushing the moxa stick out of the needle 3. In this design, the button 21 only serves as an unlocking mechanism to unlock the inner cylinder 22. There is no need to apply sufficient pressure. The elastic potential energy of the first spring 24 is converted into kinetic energy to push the moxa stick out instantly. In addition, there is no need to adjust the depth of the needle 3 inserted into the moxa stick, which ensures the moxa stick is firmly fixed. Furthermore, the height of the first spring 24 after its release replaces the pressing height of the button 21, which greatly reduces the difficulty of pressing.

[0029] Example 2 is a further improvement based on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0030] Below the latch 233 is a second guide slope 2331 that matches the inner edge of the upper end of the inner cylinder 22. When the inner cylinder 22 needs to be reset, simply press the inner cylinder 22. When the inner edge of the upper end of the inner cylinder 22 contacts the second guide slope 2331, the latch 233 is pushed back. At this time, the second spring 25 is compressed. After the inner cylinder 22 is reset, the latch 233 is aligned with the lock hole 221. Under the action of the second spring 25, the latch 233 is inserted into the lock hole 221 to lock the inner cylinder 22. This design allows the latch 233 to be retracted without pressing the button 21 again, making it more convenient.

[0031] Example 3 is a further improvement based on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0032] The top wall of the outer cylinder 1 is provided with a smoke exhaust hole 12, and the top wall of the metal cover 4 is provided with a through hole 41 that communicates with the smoke exhaust hole 12. The air hole 52 and the smoke exhaust hole 12 are designed independently. Air enters through the air hole 52, and the generated moxibustion smoke is discharged through the smoke exhaust hole 12, which can provide sufficient oxygen for the moxa stick to burn.

[0033] Example 4 is a further improvement on Example 3, and its details are as follows:

[0034] The through-holes 41 on the metal cover 4 are covered with filter element 6. Filter element 6 can effectively filter the smoke from the moxibustion, reducing indoor air pollution.

[0035] Example 5 is a further improvement based on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0036] A filter screen 7 is placed over the moxibustion hole 51. During moxibustion, the filter screen 7 prevents moxa ash from falling out of the moxibustion hole 51.

[0037] Example 6 is a further improvement based on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0038] The bottom of the base 5 is connected to a ring-shaped adhesive part 8. The small moxibustion tube is attached to the skin through the adhesive part 8 for moxibustion, eliminating the need to hold it.

[0039] Example 7 is a further improvement on Example 6, and its details are as follows:

[0040] The adhesive part 8 includes an annular silicone sheet 81, a mounting block 82, and a double-sided adhesive tape 83. The mounting block 82 is connected to the upper end face of the annular silicone sheet 81. The lower end face of the base 5 is provided with a mounting groove 53, and the mounting block 82 is fixedly disposed in the mounting groove 53. One adhesive surface of the double-sided adhesive tape 83 is adhered to the lower end face of the annular silicone sheet 81. The annular silicone sheet 81 can provide a larger adhesive surface for the double-sided adhesive tape 83, making the double-sided adhesive tape 83 firmly adhered to the annular silicone sheet 81 and less likely to fall off.

[0041] Example 8 is a further improvement on Example 7, and its details are as follows:

[0042] The other adhesive side of the double-sided adhesive tape 83 is covered with release paper 84. Before use, the release paper 84 prevents the adhesive side of the double-sided adhesive tape 83 from becoming ineffective.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
