Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model design falls within the scope of traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy equipment and is a new form of warm acupuncture auxiliary equipment, specifically a burn-proof warm acupuncture tray that integrates separation and portability. Background Technology
[0002] Warm acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that combines acupuncture and moxibustion, commonly used to relieve joint pain, improve limb numbness, and treat gynecological diseases. In practice, the ash produced by burning moxa can burn the skin, and the effectiveness of existing devices in preventing burns varies. Current preventative measures include using sheet-like heat-resistant materials wrapped around the needles as a barrier or covering the moxa with a tube. While these methods avoid direct contact between the moxa and the patient's skin, they sacrifice the local fumigation effect, and the ash can still slip and injure the skin. Overheating of the tube can also pose a threat to medical personnel. Furthermore, these methods lack flexibility, cannot be adjusted promptly according to the needle location, and increase the pressure on the treatment site. Therefore, its convenience, efficiency, and safety still need improvement. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies by innovatively designing a simple yet highly flexible detachable and combinable acupuncture protective tray. The tray is adaptable to various body positions, with a stable support frame at the bottom preventing direct contact. The rim and the support frame provide double protection, effectively preventing burns from falling moxa wool. It avoids direct contact with needles or moxibustion, does not bend needle handles, does not increase needle insertion pressure, and does not affect acupuncture depth or local fumigation effect. It is convenient to use, readily available, and provides more comprehensive protection for patients.
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical deficiencies, this utility model provides the following technical solution: This utility model discloses a detachable and commissible temperature-controlled acupuncture tray protective device, comprising a tray bottom, a surrounding edge, a dividing line, legs, a tray rim, and acupuncture holes. The tray device is a shallow circular tray body equipped with legs. The legs are stably supported below the tray bottom. The tray rim extends outward from the top of the surrounding edge. The tray bottom has a diameter of 4cm, and the surrounding edge tightly surrounds it. The dividing line is located at the bottom of the tray. The acupuncture holes have a diameter of 0.5cm, are located on the dividing line, and penetrate the entire tray. The tray top opening has a diameter of 5cm.
[0005] Furthermore, the tray device includes a tray leg, a tray bottom, a tray dividing line, acupuncture holes, a tray perimeter, and a tray edge. The tray leg, tray bottom, tray perimeter, and tray edge are stacked and assembled from bottom to top to form a footed, shallow, disc-shaped whole.
[0006] In the optimized technical solution of this utility model, the height of the foot is 1cm, which is intended to control the distance between the bottom of the ash-collecting device and the skin within an ideal range, so as to ensure the warm stimulation of the acupoints and prevent discomfort caused by the high temperature of the ash falling.
[0007] In the optimized technical solution of this utility model, the bottom diameter of the tray is 4cm and the top diameter is 5cm. This size configuration helps to expand the ash collection area and improve the ash collection efficiency.
[0008] In the optimized technical solution of this utility model, the diameter of the acupuncture hole is 0.5cm, which is intended to effectively prevent ash from sliding down the needle body and burning the skin, while ensuring that the bottom mesh structure will not compress or obstruct the needle body, avoid the needle body from tilting due to pressure, and ensure the accuracy and safety of treatment.
[0009] In optimizing the technical solution of this utility model, the tray is made entirely of lightweight martensitic stainless steel 410 and designed with a fine mesh structure with a hole diameter of 0.5mm×0.5mm, which can efficiently transfer heat to acupoints and ensure smooth fumigation, thus significantly restoring the therapeutic effect.
[0010] In the optimized technical solution of this utility model, the tray dividing line allows the tray to be easily separated and joined, ensuring stable placement even after acupuncture needles have been inserted. Furthermore, if electroacupuncture treatment or extended needle retention time is required at the acupuncture site, medical staff can freely disassemble the tray. The tray can also be removed before final needle removal, providing significant operational convenience for medical staff.
[0011] In the optimized technical solution of this utility model, the tray is a reusable medical device that can be reused after disinfection, effectively reducing costs.
[0012] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this innovative solution are summarized as follows: This invention utilizes a central dividing line to allow for flexible opening and closing of the tray while ensuring the complete preservation of the moxibustion treatment effect. The acupuncture holes on the tray effectively prevent needles from shifting or falling out due to pressure, ensuring stability during treatment. The ash-collecting bottom maintains an optimal distance from the skin via a tripod, effectively preventing direct contact and burns from ash, and the tripod design enhances adaptability to various body positions and overall stability. Furthermore, the tray's circular, wider-than-bottom design increases the ash-collecting area, ensuring effective collection of moxa ash. The lightweight and heat-resistant material ensures it won't be damaged even with unburnt ash. The tray is also easy to clean, reusable, relatively simple to manufacture, and cost-effective, combining safety and durability. Attached Figure Description
