Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of physiotherapy instrument technology, specifically relating to a portable moxibustion instrument for the Hegu acupoint. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional Chinese medicine theory, oral ulcers caused by deficiency-cold or deficiency-heat can be treated with warming the Hegu acupoint as an adjunct therapy.

[0003] Holding a moxa stick for moxibustion can lead to instability and fatigue for the operator over a long period. While some existing instruments fix the moxa cone or stick, these devices are often poorly designed, and the adjustment process is cumbersome to ensure the moxa cone or stick is aligned with the Hegu acupoint. Furthermore, hand movement during the process can affect the moxibustion. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a convenient moxibustion device for Hegu acupoint, which makes it easier to aim the moxa cone or moxa stick at the Hegu acupoint, and the movement of the hand will not significantly affect the moxibustion.

[0005] This application provides a portable moxibustion device for the Hegu acupoint, comprising:

[0006] Base;

[0007] The grip is located on the base;

[0008] A positioning bracket is located at the top of the gripper.

[0009] An elastic clip, mounted on a positioning bracket, is used to hold moxa sticks or fix needles; the distance between the clamping center of the elastic clip and the edge of the gripping part is 2cm to 4cm.

[0010] Optionally, the positioning bracket includes a ratchet one-way rotation adjustment assembly, a cantilever mounted on the ratchet one-way rotation adjustment assembly, and a connecting rod mounted at one end of the cantilever, with the elastic clamp fixed to the connecting rod.

[0011] Optionally, the ratchet unidirectional rotation adjustment assembly includes a support, a ratchet disc fixed on the support, a rotating body rotatably connected to the support, a limiting member meshing with the ratchet disc, a spring sleeved on the limiting member, and a guide structure disposed on one side of the rotating body. The limiting member is inserted into the guide structure, and the spring provides elastic force to ensure that the limiting member always fits tightly against the tooth surface of the ratchet disc to ensure reliable engagement. One end of the cantilever is connected to the limiting member.

[0012] Optionally, the rotating body has a cylindrical hollow cavity inside, the ratchet disk is located in the cylindrical hollow cavity, and the ratchet disk is connected to the support through a rotating shaft.

[0013] Optionally, the guide structure has a through countersunk hole, and the spring is disposed in the countersunk hole; the limiting member includes a pawl that meshes with the ratchet disc, a first rod connected to one end of the pawl, and a second rod connected to one end of the first rod, the second rod being located outside the guide structure, and the two ends of the spring respectively abutting against the end face of the pawl and the reduced diameter transition surface of the countersunk hole.

[0014] Optionally, the cantilever is a telescopic rod.

[0015] Optionally, the portable Hegu acupoint moxibustion instrument further includes an ash-collecting component, which includes a mounting frame disposed on a positioning bracket and a sieve disposed on the mounting frame, the sieve being located directly below the elastic clamp.

[0016] Optionally, the mounting bracket is a bent elastic structure and is clamped and fixed to the positioning bracket by elastic force.

[0017] Optionally, the sieve includes a connecting rod connected to the mounting frame, a cylindrical component connected to the connecting rod, and a screen disposed within the cylindrical component.

[0018] Optionally, the gripping part is elliptical or cylindrical in shape.

[0019] Optionally, the distance between the elastic clip and the base is 10cm to 18cm.

[0020] Optionally, when the gripping part is elliptical cylindrical in shape, the cross-sectional dimensions of the gripping part are 4cm~8cm for the major axis and 2cm~5cm for the minor axis.

[0021] Optionally, the gripping part is provided with an elastic band on its side.

[0022] Optionally, when the gripping part is cylindrical, the cross-sectional dimension of the gripping part is 3cm to 8cm in diameter.

[0023] The beneficial effect of this application is that, for most users, when their hand grasps the grip, the distance between the Hegu acupoint and the grip is between 2cm and 4cm, allowing it to be relatively close to the center of the elastic clip. A moxa stick or fixing needle can be held on the elastic clip (the fixing needle is suitable for inserting moxa cones). By adjusting the clamping position of the moxa stick or fixing needle to be close to the Hegu acupoint, more accurate moxibustion can be performed. During the moxibustion process, any thought of moving the hand (including voluntary and involuntary actions) will reflexively lead to gripping the grip first, keeping the hand relatively still with respect to the portable Hegu acupoint moxibustion device. This minimizes the impact on the moxibustion process and improves comfort. The user's hand rests naturally on the base, and the distance between the Hegu acupoint and the elastic clip remains fixed.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0029] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this application provides a portable moxibustion device for the Hegu acupoint, comprising: a base 100, a gripping part 200, a positioning bracket 300, and an elastic clip 400; wherein, the gripping part 200 is disposed on the base 100; the positioning bracket 300 is disposed on the top of the gripping part 200; the elastic clip 400 is disposed on the positioning bracket 300 and is used to hold moxa sticks or fix needles; the distance between the clamping center of the elastic clip 400 and the edge of the gripping part 200 is 2cm to 4cm.

[0030] Compared with existing technologies, the portable Hegu acupoint moxibustion device provided in this application allows most users to grasp the grip part 200 with their hand, resulting in a distance of 2cm to 4cm between the Hegu acupoint and the grip part 200. This allows the hand to be positioned relatively close to the center of the elastic clip 400, directly below it. A moxa stick or fixing needle can be held on the elastic clip 400. The fixing needle is suitable for inserting moxa cones. By adjusting the clamping position of the moxa stick or fixing needle to bring it closer to the Hegu acupoint, more accurate moxibustion can be performed. During the moxibustion process, any intention to move the hand (including voluntary and involuntary actions) will reflexively lead to gripping the grip part 200 first, keeping the hand relatively still with respect to the portable Hegu acupoint moxibustion device. This minimizes the impact on the moxibustion process and improves comfort. The user's hand rests naturally on the base 100, and the distance between the Hegu acupoint and the elastic clip 400 remains fixed.

[0031] For example, the distance between the clamping center of the elastic clip 400 and the edge of the gripping part 200 can be any typical but non-limiting point value or an interval between any two point values, such as 2cm, 2.5cm, 3cm, 3.5cm, 4cm.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the positioning bracket 300 includes a ratchet one-way rotation adjustment assembly 310, a cantilever 320 disposed on the ratchet one-way rotation adjustment assembly 310, and a connecting rod 330 disposed at one end of the cantilever 320. An elastic clip 400 is fixed to the connecting rod 330. Specifically, in some cases, when a user's hand grips the grasping part 200, their Hegu acupoint may be deviated from directly below the elastic clip 400. The ratchet one-way rotation adjustment assembly 310 can be used to rotate the cantilever 320 at an appropriate angle to correct this deviation. The ratchet one-way rotation adjustment assembly 310 is less prone to accidental rotation and is easy to operate. Alternatively, the ratchet one-way rotation adjustment assembly 310 can be used to rotate the cantilever 320 to the other side of the grasping part 200, thereby achieving moxibustion on the Hegu acupoints of both hands.

[0033] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2As shown, the ratchet one-way rotation adjustment assembly 310 includes a support 311, a ratchet disc 312 fixed on the support 311, a rotating body 313 rotatably connected to the support 311, a limiting member 314 meshing with the ratchet disc 312, a spring 315 sleeved on the limiting member 314, and a guide structure 316 disposed on one side of the rotating body 313. The limiting member 314 is inserted into the guide structure 316, and the spring 315 provides elastic force to ensure that the limiting member 314 is always in close contact with the tooth surface of the ratchet disc 312 to ensure reliable engagement. One end of the cantilever 320 is connected to the limiting member 314. Specifically, the support 311 can be glued, welded, or screwed to the top of the gripping part 200. Rotating the rotating body 313 counterclockwise causes the end face of the limiting member 314 to interact with the ratchet disc 312, moving the limiting member 314 to the right and compressing the spring 315. Continuing to rotate, the end of the limiting member 314 enters the next tooth groove under the action of the spring 315, completing the adjustment of the cantilever 320 angle and the elastic clamp 400 angle. A certain amount of force is required to compress the spring 315 and rotate the rotating body 313. Rotating the body 313 clockwise does not cause it to rotate.

[0034] It should be noted that the accuracy of the rotation adjustment of the elastic clamp 400 is determined by the number of teeth of the ratchet disc 312 of a certain size.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the rotating body 313 has a cylindrical hollow cavity 317 inside, and a ratchet disk 312 is located inside the cylindrical hollow cavity 317. The ratchet disk 312 is connected to the support 311 via a rotating shaft. Specifically, the bottom of the rotating body 313 is fitted to the rotating shaft via a bearing, allowing the rotating body 313 to rotate around the bearing. The ratchet disk 312 is either interference-fitted to the rotating shaft or connected via a pin.

[0036] In one possible implementation, the guide structure 316 has a through countersunk hole 318, and the spring 315 is disposed within the countersunk hole 318. The limiting member 314 includes a pawl 3141 that engages with the ratchet disc 312, a first rod 3142 connected to one end of the pawl 3141, and a second rod 3143 connected to one end of the first rod 3142. The second rod 3143 is located outside the guide structure 316, and the two ends of the spring 315 abut against the end face of the pawl 3141 and the reduced-diameter transition surface of the countersunk hole 318, respectively. Specifically, the countersunk hole 318 serves as a guide, ensuring that the limiting member 314 does not deflect significantly, which helps to improve the stability of the elastic clip 400 and the accuracy of moxibustion at the Hegu acupoint.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the cantilever 320 is a telescopic rod. Specifically, the telescopic rod is similar to the telescopic structure of a mobile phone selfie stick, so that the distance between the clamping center of the elastic clip 400 and the edge of the gripping part 200 can be adjusted within a certain range, thereby better adapting to the hand sizes of different users.

[0038] In one possible implementation, the portable Hegu acupoint moxibustion device also includes an ash-collecting assembly 500, which comprises a mounting bracket 510 disposed on a positioning support 300 and a sieve 520 disposed on the mounting bracket 510, the sieve 520 being located directly below the elastic clamp 400. This prevents the ash from falling and burning the skin.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the mounting bracket 510 is a bent, elastic structure and is clamped and fixed to the positioning bracket 300 by elastic force. Specifically, the mounting bracket 510 is a bent, elastic structure similar to a U-shaped bend, and is clamped and fixed at any position on the cantilever 320 by elastic force, facilitating the adjustment of the sieve 520 to be directly below the elastic clamp 400, which is also directly below the moxa stick or moxa cone. Furthermore, different parts of the mounting bracket 510 can be clamped onto the cantilever 320 to achieve height adjustment of the sieve 520, so as to better match the position of the moxa stick or moxa cone.

[0040] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the sieve 520 includes a connecting rod 521 connected to the mounting frame 510, a cylindrical component 522 connected to the connecting rod 521, and a screen 523 disposed within the cylindrical component 522. Specifically, the two ends of the connecting rod 521 are fixed to one end of the flexible mounting frame 510 and the cylindrical component 522 respectively by welding or screws. The connecting rod 521 does not hinder the flexible opening and closing of the mounting frame 510, and the screen 523 is used to catch the ash without significantly obstructing the transmission of force.

[0041] In one possible implementation, the screen 523 is located near the middle of the cylindrical member 522, so that the bottom of the cylindrical member 522 can contact the skin and cover the Hegu acupoint, which is beneficial to improve the stability and heat transfer during moxibustion.

[0042] In one possible implementation, the gripping part 200 is shaped like an elliptical cylinder or a cylinder. Specifically, when the gripping part 200 is elliptical, it is more ergonomic, helps improve gripping comfort, and the elastic clip 400 and the ash-collecting component 500 are aligned along their long axis, making it easier to accurately position the moxa cone or moxa stick. When the gripping part 200 is cylindrical, moxibustion can be performed at any angle around the gripping part 200.

[0043] In one possible implementation, the distance between the elastic clip 400 and the base 100 is 10cm to 18cm. For example, the distance between the elastic clip 400 and the base 100 can be any typical but non-limiting point value or a range between any two point values, such as 10cm, 12cm, 13cm, 15cm, 16cm, or 18cm. In this case, the distance between the elastic clip 400 and the base 100 adapts to different palm widths.

[0044] In one possible implementation, when the gripping part 200 is elliptical cylindrical, the cross-sectional dimensions of the gripping part 200 are 4cm to 8cm for the major axis and 2cm to 5cm for the minor axis. For example, the major axis can be any typical but non-limiting point value or a range between any two points, such as 4cm, 5cm, 6cm, 7cm, or 8cm; the minor axis can be any typical but non-limiting point value or a range between any two points, such as 2cm, 3cm, 4cm, or 5cm. In this case, it helps to improve gripping comfort.

[0045] In one possible implementation, when the gripping part 200 is cylindrical, the cross-sectional dimension of the gripping part 200 is a diameter of 3cm to 8cm. For example, the diameter of the gripping part 200 can be any typical but non-limiting point value or a range between any two points, such as 3cm, 4cm, 5cm, 6cm, 7cm, or 8cm. In this case, it helps to improve gripping comfort.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the grip 200 has an elastic band 210 on its side to help secure the user's palm.
