Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an intelligent moxibustion device. Background Technology

[0002] Artemisia argyi is one of the earliest medicinal herbs recognized and used by the Chinese working people. The smoke produced by burning dried artemisia argyi has good antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral effects. During the transition from spring to summer, germs multiply actively, and many people like to burn artemisia argyi indoors to produce smoke for sterilization and disinfection, with good results.

[0003] We have conducted preliminary research on the generation of moxa smoke. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN105534701A discloses a moxa smoke generating device for moxibustion. In this device, moxa wool is stored in a material hopper as needed. The wool is fed into the combustion chamber by a feeding screw and falls onto a combustion platform. Heated by an electric heating element (such as an electric heating tube), the moxa wool burns (but without an open flame), producing moxa smoke. The ash falls through the mesh of the metal mesh forming the combustion platform. A combustion fan provides the air needed for the moxa wool to burn. Under the suction of an air pump, the moxa smoke flows through a temperature control module and is output from the air pump outlet. By opening and closing different air circuit switches, the finned heat exchangers can be put into operation sequentially. The more finned heat exchangers in operation, the lower the output temperature. If only the air circuit switch on the bypass pipe of the heat exchange module inlet is opened, the moxa smoke does not flow through the heat exchange module and is directly output by the air pump, resulting in the highest temperature. This allows for controllable temperature of the generated moxa smoke, ensuring that the therapeutic effect is not affected by excessively low temperatures, nor that the skin is burned by excessively high temperatures.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned device still has some shortcomings in actual use:

[0005] The smoke from moxa blown towards the patient's treatment area can easily drift into the outside world, resulting in low treatment efficiency. The drifting smoke can also cause environmental pollution, filling the treatment room with the smell of moxa, which may cause discomfort to the patient.

[0006] To address these issues, we propose an intelligent moxibustion device to solve the problems of easy dispersion of moxa smoke, low treatment efficiency, environmental pollution, and patient discomfort caused by the aforementioned devices. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent moxibustion device to solve the problems of easy dispersion of moxa smoke, low treatment efficiency, environmental pollution, and easy discomfort to patients in the above-mentioned devices.

[0008] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides an intelligent moxibustion device, comprising: a smoke generator body, a treatment component, and a purification component;

[0009] The main body of the moxa smoke generator is used to generate and output moxa smoke with controllable temperature.

[0010] The treatment component includes an earmuff and a treatment hose, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the earmuff and the smoke output end of the smoke generator body;

[0011] The purification component includes a waste box located below the main body of the moxa smoke generator. A negative pressure hose is connected between the waste box and the earmuffs. A catalyst is installed inside the waste box, which is used to purify the moxa smoke.

[0012] Preferably, the shape of the earmuff conforms to the shape of the human ear, and the earmuff has a double-layer structure with a return channel between the two layers.

[0013] Preferably, one end of the treatment hose penetrates the side wall of the earmuff and extends into the interior of the earmuff, and a locking device is provided at the connection between the treatment hose and the earmuff.

[0014] Preferably, the locking member includes a connection port fixed in the middle of the earmuff, the treatment hose passes through the middle of the connection port and the outer surface of the treatment hose is tightly fitted with the inner sidewall of the connection port, the outside of the connection port is provided with a plurality of openings parallel to the long side of the connection port, and the outside of the connection port is threaded with a fastening ring, and the connection surface between the connection port and the fastening ring is inclined.

[0015] Preferably, the treatment tubing is equipped with a miniature temperature sensor.

[0016] Preferably, there are two negative pressure hoses, and the upper ends of both negative pressure hoses are connected to the return channel of the earmuff.

[0017] Preferably, the waste box is provided with a support column at its upper end, and the support column is provided with an installation platform at its upper end, with the main body of the smoke generator mounted on the installation platform.

[0019] As described above, the intelligent blowing moxibustion device disclosed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] This invention, through the design of an independent ear canal, can effectively prevent the escape of moxa smoke. By setting a temperature sensor on the treatment tube, the temperature of the moxa smoke is detected in real time. If the temperature exceeds the system's set temperature range, the machine will automatically cut off the air inlet, shut down the heating system, stop the moxa stick from burning, and increase the condensation temperature to avoid burns and improve safety performance.

[0021] In addition, a negative pressure hose connected to the earmuffs is provided to transport excess moxa smoke to the waste box, where it is purified using a three-way catalytic converter. After purification, only water remains, reducing environmental pollution and improving comfort.

[0033] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 5It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., illustrated in the accompanying drawings are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, without affecting the effectiveness and purpose of this invention, should still fall within the scope of the disclosed technical content. Furthermore, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity and not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of this invention.

[0035] Before detailing this utility model, it should be noted that the main body of the moxa smoke generator is a prior art component. Its specific structure includes a combustion furnace located on the left side of the frame. The furnace body is rectangular, with a door hinged to it on one side via a butterfly hinge. A handle is located on the outer side of the door. The combustion furnace contains a combustion chamber, with a combustion platform at its lower part. This combustion platform consists of metal mesh sheets fixed to the inner walls on both sides of the combustion furnace. An ash collection drawer is located below the combustion platform. When the moxa on the combustion platform burns out, its ash falls directly into the ash collection drawer through the mesh openings of the metal mesh sheets. Above the combustion platform is a resistance wire with a ceramic tube on its outer surface, serving as a heating element. The resistance wire is S-shaped and laid flat on the upper surface of the combustion platform. The outlet of the combustion fan is connected to the bottom of the combustion furnace, and its outlet duct extends into the combustion chamber from below the combustion platform.

[0036] A material hopper is located above the combustion furnace. The bottom of the material hopper connects to the combustion chamber to form a discharge port, and a screw feeder is installed inside the material hopper. The spiral-shaped feeding blades of the screw feeder extend from the discharge port into the combustion chamber, and the feeding motor is located at the top of the material hopper. A hopper door is provided on the side wall of the material hopper, and a door handle is provided on the outside of the hopper door, which is hinged to the side wall of the material hopper by a butterfly hinge.

[0037] The frame houses a temperature control module, which includes a heat exchange module consisting of four finned heat exchangers connected in series. The inlet of this heat exchange module (i.e., the inlet of the foremost finned heat exchanger) is connected to the upper part of the combustion chamber, and a connecting pipe extends into the combustion chamber. The end of this pipe is equipped with an ash filter hood, which filters ash carried by the smoke. A bypass pipe is installed on the connecting pipes between the combustion furnace and the heat exchange module, as well as between adjacent finned heat exchangers. A two-position, two-way solenoid valve is connected in series with each bypass pipe and the outlet pipe of the last finned heat exchanger of the heat exchange module as a gas circuit switch. The outlet of each two-position, two-way solenoid valve is connected in parallel to the inlet of the air pump. The outlet of the air pump is connected in parallel to an exhaust pipe and a supply pipe. A two-position, two-way solenoid valve is also connected in series with the exhaust pipe.

[0038] A cooling fan is installed below the heat exchange module. The air discharged by the cooling fan passes through the gap between the four heat exchangers from bottom to top. When the temperature of the smoke generated in the combustion chamber is too high, the cooling fan can be turned on to enhance the heat exchange capacity of the heat exchange module.

[0039] The five two-position, two-way solenoid valves of the temperature control module are numbered I to V. When only two-position, two-way solenoid valve I is open and two-way solenoid valves II to V are closed, the smoke from the combustion chamber is directly output without being cooled by the heat exchange module, resulting in the highest temperature of the output smoke. When only two-position, two-way solenoid valve V is open and two-way solenoid valves I to IV are closed, the smoke from the combustion chamber flows through the four finned heat exchangers sequentially, resulting in the lowest temperature of the output smoke. By changing the number of finned heat exchangers in operation, the temperature of the output smoke can be controlled.

[0040] This utility model provides an intelligent blowing moxibustion device, such as... Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes: a smoke generator body 1, a treatment component 2, and a purification component 3.

[0041] The main body 1 of the moxa smoke generator is used to generate and output moxa smoke at a controllable temperature. The treatment component 2 includes an earmuff 20 and a treatment hose 21, with both ends of the treatment hose 21 connected to the earmuff 20 and the moxa smoke output end of the main body 1 of the moxa smoke generator, respectively. The earmuff 20 is used to cover the human ear to reduce the escape of moxa smoke. The moxa smoke generated by the main body 1 of the moxa smoke generator is delivered into the earmuff 20 through the treatment hose 21 to perform moxibustion on the human ear canal, thereby enhancing the therapeutic effect.

[0042] The purification component 3 includes a waste box 30 located below the main body 1 of the moxa smoke generator. A negative pressure hose 31 connects the waste box 30 to the earmuffs 20. A catalytic converter is installed inside the waste box 30 to purify the moxa smoke. The negative pressure hose 31 draws the moxa smoke from the earmuffs 20 into the waste box 30 using negative pressure. The catalytic converter inside the waste box 30 then uses three-way catalytic technology to treat the moxa smoke, leaving only water after treatment. This structure can purify moxa smoke, reducing pollution to the external environment and alleviating discomfort to the human body. The catalytic converter used to purify the moxa smoke is existing technology and is not shown in the figure.

[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-2 The earmuff 20 is shaped to fit the shape of the human ear, and the connecting surface of the earmuff 20 to the human ear has an elastic smoke outlet to easily cover the ear and prevent smoke leakage. The earmuff 20 has a double-layer structure with a return channel between the two layers, which makes the smoke more concentrated. At the same time, the return channel is connected to the cavity of the inner layer, which facilitates the recovery of moxa smoke.

[0044] It should be noted that, since everyone's ear size is different, the earmuffs 20 used to cover the ears need to be designed in various sizes to suit different patients.

[0045] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-3 One end of the treatment hose 21 penetrates the side wall of the earmuff 20 and extends into the interior of the earmuff 20. The treatment hose 21 can extend and retract within the earmuff 20. A locking element 23 is provided at the connection between the treatment hose 21 and the earmuff 20 to lock the treatment hose 21 relative to the earmuff 20.

[0046] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-3 The locking element 23 includes a connection port 230 fixed in the middle of the earmuff 20. A treatment tube 21 passes through the middle of the connection port 230, and the outer surface of the treatment tube 21 is tightly fitted against the inner wall of the connection port 230. The connection port 230 has several openings parallel to its long side, and a fastening ring 231 is threaded onto its outer surface. The connection surfaces of the connection port 230 and the fastening ring 231 are inclined. During treatment, rotating the fastening ring 231 releases the connection port 230 from locking the treatment tube 21, allowing the treatment tube 21 to be manually pushed towards the ear and inserted into the ear canal for treatment. Then, rotating the fastening ring 231 in the opposite direction locks the connection port 230 back into place. This structure enables control of the extension and retraction of the treatment tube 21 within the earmuff 20.

[0047] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-2The treatment tube 21 is equipped with a miniature temperature sensor 22. The temperature sensor 22 can detect temperature changes in the human ear canal in real time. Through the temperature sensor 22 on the treatment tube 21, the operation of the moxa smoke generator body 1 is controlled in real time to ensure that the temperature of the moxa smoke in the external and middle ear canals does not exceed 40°C. Once it reaches 39°C, the air inlet valve of the moxa smoke generator is automatically closed, the heating system is shut off, the moxa stick stops burning, and the condensation temperature is increased to prevent the continuous accumulation of moxa smoke from causing burns to the external and middle ear canals, thus improving safety performance.

[0048] The main body 1 of the moxa smoke generator can be set with relevant parameters of the condensation device to regulate the temperature of the moxa smoke, ensuring that the temperature of the moxa smoke entering the external auditory canal and middle ear infection is between 36.5℃ and 38.5℃. Only when this parameter range is reached will the transmission port in the moxa smoke treatment tube open to start the moxa smoke treatment, preventing high-temperature burns and low-temperature frostbite. Furthermore, based on individual differences, the effect of the condensation device can be intelligently controlled through human-computer interaction to ensure the comfort and treatment quality of patients in the external auditory canal and middle ear.

[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 There are two negative pressure hoses 31, and the upper ends of both negative pressure hoses 31 are connected to the return channel of the earmuff 20. After the moxa smoke is delivered into the inner cavity of the earmuff 20, it diffuses from the ear to the surrounding area and enters the return channel to deliver the moxa smoke, so that the moxa smoke enters the negative pressure hose 31 and is discharged into the waste box 30.

[0050] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The waste box 30 has a support column 4 at its upper end, and an installation platform 5 at the upper end of the support column 4. The main body 1 of the moxa smoke generator is mounted on the installation platform 5. The support column 4 lifts the installation platform 5 and the main body 1 of the moxa smoke generator to a suitable height for easy operation.

[0051] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The mounting platform 5 contains a controller, and a control button electrically connected to the controller is located on the left side wall of the mounting platform 5. The control button is used to control the start and stop of the catalytic generator and the negative pressure generator, achieving the effects of negative pressure smoke recovery and catalytic reaction. The main body 1 of the smoke generator has a built-in control module that operates independently and is not affected by the control button on the side wall of the mounting platform 5.

[0052] The platform includes a controller, such as an ARM (Advanced RISC Machines) controller, an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) controller, a SoC (System on Chip) controller, a DSP (Digital Signal Processing) controller, or an MCU (Microcontroller Unit) controller. In some implementations, the method can also be applied to a computer including components such as memory, a memory controller, one or more processing units (CPUs), peripheral interfaces, RF circuitry, audio circuitry, speakers, microphones, input / output (I / O) subsystems, a display screen, other output or control devices, and external ports; the computer includes, but is not limited to, personal computers such as desktop computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, smart bracelets, smartwatches, smart helmets, smart TVs, and personal digital assistants (PDAs). In other implementations, the method can also be applied to servers, which can be deployed on one or more physical servers based on factors such as functionality and load, or can consist of distributed or centralized server clusters.

[0053] The specific usage process of this utility model is as follows:

[0054] This device uses a spiral feeder to deliver moxa wool from the storage box to the combustion platform in a timed and quantitative manner. Once the combustion fan and current are turned on, the resistance wire heats and ignites the moxa stick. Waste residue can be collected below, making operation convenient. Moxa smoke flows from the smoke generator to the condenser, where it is cooled to a suitable temperature and the treatment channel automatically opens, ensuring smoke quality and improving efficacy. During moxibustion, the temperature sensor 22 transmits the real-time temperature of the moxa smoke inside the ear. If the temperature exceeds the safe range, the air inlet is directly closed, stopping combustion and enhancing safety. The moxa smoke is delivered into the earmuff 20 through the treatment hose 21 for treatment of the ear canal. After use, the moxa smoke is drawn into the waste box 30 through the negative pressure hose 31 and centrally processed using three-way catalytic technology, reducing environmental pollution and patient discomfort. During treatment, the patient can adjust the temperature in real-time through a human-machine interface based on their own perception, maintaining the temperature within the optimal therapeutic range.

[0055] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
