Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy equipment, specifically relating to a heat-resistant portable moxibustion box. Background Technology

[0002] Moxa cones, as the core medium of external treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine, are refined from moxa wool as the main raw material. They stimulate acupoints and specific areas on the body surface through the warming effect generated by controlled combustion. This therapy, with its combined effects of warming the meridians and dispelling cold, promoting qi circulation and unblocking collaterals, and removing toxins and clearing heat, has been inherited and developed under the guidance of the theory in the *Huangdi Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic): "Where acupuncture is ineffective, moxibustion is suitable." With the promulgation and implementation of the 2025 edition of the *Moxibustion Technique Operation Specifications* by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, significant breakthroughs have been achieved in the standardized operation and efficacy evaluation system of moxibustion therapy, laying the technical foundation for the modernization of this therapy in the era of precision medicine.

[0003] There are two significant problems with the current use of moxibustion devices: 1. The ash and aerosol produced by the burning of moxa sticks adhere to the inner wall for a long time, and the existing moxibustion boxes are usually very deep, making it difficult to clean the accumulated ash and reducing the therapeutic effect; 2. The existing moxibustion boxes usually have a mesh inside the cylinder to collect the ash, and the mesh can transfer heat, but this is also a defect, as the ash can easily fall off when shaken, causing the risk of skin burns.

[0004] Most existing moxa sticks are made by compressing loose moxa wool into a stick shape with paper, making them easy to hold or insert into moxibustion tools. However, it should be noted that the moxa stick should be kept still during the burning process to avoid the burning ash falling off due to movement, which could cause skin burns.

[0005] Therefore, there is a market demand for developing a portable moxibustion box that can isolate ash and prevent burns. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a heat-resistant portable moxibustion box.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a scald-proof portable moxibustion box, including a temperature control combustion module for burning moxa sticks. The temperature control combustion module includes a temperature control shell, a combustion chamber disposed in the temperature control shell, and a scald-proof base disposed in the combustion chamber for placing moxa sticks. The scald-proof base includes a scald-proof base tube integrally formed from copper foil. The tube wall of the scald-proof base tube has honeycomb-shaped ignition holes. The scald-proof base tube is used to wrap the moxa sticks and constrain the ash produced after the moxa sticks are burned. The base tube is made of copper foil, which has a melting point of up to 1083°C. The center temperature of the moxa stick usually does not exceed 500-600°C when it is burning. At this temperature, the base tube only softens but does not melt, forming a stable metal skeleton to wrap the moxa stick. Even if the moxa wool inside burns and carbonizes, the outer copper foil can still maintain the structural strength and prevent the ash from falling. At the same time, honeycomb ignition holes are opened on the wall of the base tube to optimize the combustion airflow and form a physical barrier to ensure that the ash is confined inside the base and will not fall even if it is moved or tilted, thus eliminating the risk of skin burns.

[0008] In some embodiments, the combustion chamber includes an inner shell disposed within the temperature control housing, the inner shell including a ventilation top plate with multiple ventilation holes at the top, the anti-scalding base including a ventilation seat with multiple ventilation holes fixed to the ventilation top plate and a fixing pin extending downward from the ventilation seat, the fixing pin being able to be inserted into the center of the moxa stick to fix the moxa stick, and the anti-scalding base cylinder being threadedly rotatably connected to the ventilation seat through a threaded interface.

[0009] In some embodiments, the temperature control combustion module further includes a filter device disposed between the inner shell sidewall of the combustion chamber and the temperature control shell sidewall, and a blower disposed above the combustion chamber. An exhaust port is provided above the temperature control shell sidewall, and the exhaust port is connected to the filter device.

[0010] In some embodiments, the filtration device includes a ceramic fiber insulation layer disposed between the side wall of the combustion chamber shell and the side wall of the temperature control shell.

[0011] In some embodiments, the temperature-controlled combustion module further includes an ignition device facing the anti-scalding base cylinder.

[0012] In some embodiments, the temperature control combustion module further includes a temperature sensor disposed on the inner wall of the combustion chamber shell, the temperature sensor being controlled and connected to the blower.

[0013] In some embodiments, the moxibustion box further includes a control module for controlling the ignition circuit, the control module being electrically connected to the ignition device, the filter device, and the blower.

[0014] In some embodiments, the moxibustion box further includes an output module disposed within the housing and connected to the lower output end of the temperature control combustion module facing the moxibustion site. The output module includes an output housing, which is rotatably snapped to the temperature control housing.

[0015] In some embodiments, the output housing and the temperature control housing are coaxially provided with a rotating positioning boss and a groove on their corresponding end faces; at least two sets of radial protrusions are evenly distributed on the outer circumference of the boss, and the inner side of the groove is provided with a corresponding adapter slot, so as to achieve a snap-fit ​​engagement by limiting the rotation angle.

[0016] In some embodiments, strap fixing seats are provided on opposite sides of the bottom outer wall of the output housing, and straps pass through the corresponding strap fixing seats.

[0017] The scope of this utility model is not limited to technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-mentioned technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-mentioned technical features or their equivalent features. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above-mentioned features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in this application.

[0018] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art: This utility model provides a heat-resistant portable moxibustion box, which adopts a heat-resistant base tube integrally formed from copper foil. The melting point of copper foil is as high as 1083°C. When the moxa stick burns, the center temperature usually does not exceed 500-600°C. At this temperature, the heat-resistant base tube only softens but does not melt, forming a stable metal skeleton to wrap the moxa stick. Even if the moxa wool inside burns and carbonizes, the outer copper foil can still maintain the structural strength and prevent the ash from falling. At the same time, honeycomb-shaped ignition holes are opened on the wall of the heat-resistant base tube, which optimizes the combustion airflow and forms a physical barrier to ensure that the ash is confined inside the tube and will not fall even if it is moved or tilted, thus eliminating the risk of skin burns.

[0025] As shown in the attached figures, a portable moxibustion box with anti-scalding properties includes, from top to bottom, a control module 2, a temperature control combustion module 1, and an output module 3.

[0026] Temperature control combustion module 1 is used for burning moxa sticks. Figure 4 As shown, the temperature-controlled combustion module 1 includes a temperature control housing 11, a combustion chamber 12 disposed within the temperature control housing 11, and a scalding-proof base 13 disposed within the combustion chamber 12 for placing the moxa stick.

[0027] The temperature-controlled combustion module 1 also includes a filter device 14 disposed between the side wall of the inner shell 121 of the combustion chamber and the side wall of the temperature control shell 11, and a blower 15 disposed above the combustion chamber 12. An exhaust port 111 is provided above the side wall of the temperature control shell 11, and the exhaust port 111 is connected to the filter device 14. The filter device 14 includes a ceramic fiber insulation layer disposed between the side wall of the inner shell 121 of the combustion chamber and the side wall of the temperature control shell 11, which can filter out small particles generated by the combustion of moxa wool, reducing the irritation of the smoke.

[0028] The anti-scalding base 13 includes an anti-scalding base cylinder 131 integrally formed from copper foil. The cylinder wall of the anti-scalding base cylinder 131 has honeycomb-shaped ignition holes. The anti-scalding base cylinder 131 is used to wrap the moxa stick and confine the ash produced after the moxa stick burns. The anti-scalding base cylinder is integrally formed from copper foil, which has a melting point as high as 1083°C. The center temperature of the moxa stick during combustion typically does not exceed 500-600°C. At this temperature, the anti-scalding base cylinder only softens but does not melt, forming a stable metal skeleton to wrap the moxa stick. Even if the internal moxa wool burns and carbonizes, losing its binding force, the external copper foil can still maintain structural strength and maintain the overall shape through mechanical fixing, similar to a "metal mesh" effect, preventing the ash from scattering. At the same time, the honeycomb-shaped ignition holes on the cylinder wall optimize the combustion airflow and form a physical barrier, ensuring that the ash is confined inside the base and will not fall even if moved or tilted, eliminating the risk of skin burns.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the temperature control combustion module 1 also includes an ignition device 16 facing the honeycomb ignition hole of the anti-scalding base cylinder 131.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the combustion chamber 12 includes an inner shell 121 disposed within the temperature control housing 11. The inner shell 121 includes a ventilation top plate 121a with multiple ventilation holes at the top. The anti-scalding base 13 also includes a ventilation seat 132 with multiple ventilation holes fixed to the ventilation top plate 121a and a fixing pin 133 extending downward from the ventilation seat 132. The ventilation holes facilitate air convection. The fixing pin 133 can be inserted into the moxa stick for fixation. After the moxa stick is inserted into the anti-scalding base cylinder 131, it is threadedly rotated to the ventilation seat 132 through a threaded interface, ensuring that the fixing pin 133 and the moxa stick are both located inside the anti-scalding base cylinder 131.

[0031] The temperature control combustion module 1 also includes a temperature sensor disposed on the inner wall of the combustion chamber shell 121, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the blower 15.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the moxibustion box also includes a control module 2 for controlling the ignition circuit, which is located above the temperature control combustion module 1. The control module 2 is electrically connected to the ignition device 16, the filter device 14, and the blower 15. The control module 2 is equipped with a start button, a time and air volume control button, and a display screen. The display screen mainly provides system status, user data, and dynamic feedback.

[0033] The moxibustion box also includes an output module 3 connected to the output end of the temperature control combustion module 1 and facing the moxibustion site. The output module 3 includes an output shell 31, which is rotatably and snapped to the temperature control shell 11.

[0034] The output housing 31 and the temperature control housing 11 are coaxially provided with a rotating positioning boss and a groove on their corresponding end faces; two sets of radial protrusions are evenly distributed on the outer circumference of the boss, and a corresponding adapter slot is provided on the inner side of the groove, so that the locking fit can be achieved by limiting the rotation angle.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the bottom outer wall of the output housing 31 is provided with strap fixing seats 4 on opposite sides and straps 5 passing through the corresponding strap fixing seats 4. When in use, the moxibustion box is tied to the position where moxibustion is needed using the straps 5, with the bottom of the output housing 31 facing the moxibustion site.

[0036] In actual use, first place the moxa stick into the anti-scalding base tube 131, then rotate and fix the anti-scalding base tube 131 to the fixing tube on the fixing pin. Then rotate and install the output module 3. Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn on the control display screen, then press the power button again to cycle through any gear (there are 2 gears). Then press and hold the ignition button for 2 seconds. At this time, the ignition device 16 moxibustion igniter will ignite for 5 seconds, and the blower will start working at the same time, and the moxibustion function will begin. When it is necessary to clean the burnt moxa stick, first rotate and remove the combustion chamber, then directly remove the anti-scalding base tube 131 to replace it with a new moxa stick to start a new moxibustion.

[0037] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
