Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of moxibustion, and in particular to a moxibustion device for the Du meridian of rats. Background Technology

[0002] The descriptions in this section provide background information related to this disclosure and do not constitute prior art. Rats are commonly used animals in acupuncture and meridian-related scientific research experiments. Rat immobilization and moxibustion intervention are key factors affecting the success of moxibustion experiments. Existing immobilization methods for rats include limb binding and cylindrical fixation, but these methods have certain shortcomings and defects. First, rats are difficult to cooperate with these methods, causing excessive stimulation and fright. Second, binding the rats' limbs affects their blood circulation, thus impacting the acupuncture intervention effect. Third, the Du meridian is located in the middle of the rat's back; rigid materials such as cylinders do not conform well to the rat's body, resulting in poor immobilization; moreover, the exposed portion of the rat's body is limited, restricting moxibustion along the Du meridian. Fourth, the moxibustion temperature is difficult to control; too low a temperature will not achieve the desired intervention effect, while too high a temperature will cause the animal to struggle or suffer burns. Fifth, the smoke released during the burning of moxa sticks contains harmful soot and tar-like substances, affecting the health of researchers and polluting the environment. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, this application provides a moxibustion device for the Du meridian of rats, which can reduce stimulation to rats and facilitate the conduct of moxibustion experiments on the Du meridian.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application employs the following technical solution:

[0005] A rat Du meridian moxibustion device, characterized in that: it includes a box body, a support plate is fixedly disposed inside the box body, and an opening is provided on the front side of the box body so that the rat can be placed onto the support plate through the opening;

[0006] The box body is also rotatably connected to two fixed hinges that can be opened and closed. When the two fixed hinges are closed, they can block the opening and clamp and fix the rat's neck.

[0007] The support plate has two slots on its left and right sides that run vertically and extend in the front-back direction. A detachable back fixing plate is also inserted into the box. The back fixing plate has a slot in the middle that runs vertically and extends in the front-back direction. When the back fixing plate is inserted into the box, it is located above the support plate and is used to compress the rat so that its limbs extend into the slots of the support plate and lie flat on the support plate, so that the slots of the fixing plate are aligned with the rat's Du meridian.

[0008] The top of the box body forms an open opening, and a lifting mechanism is also provided inside the box body. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting platform that is movably connected to the box body and located above the back fixing plate, a lifting drive component for driving the lifting platform to move up and down, and a moxibustion box placed on the lifting platform.

[0009] The moxibustion box is used to hold moxa piles, and the bottom of the moxibustion box has a breathable structure. The middle part of the lifting platform is a hollow section that runs vertically through the body. When the lifting platform rises, the moxibustion box can move to the open part of the box body for easy placement of moxa piles. When the lifting platform descends, the moxibustion box is close to the back fixing plate, thereby performing moxibustion on the rat.

[0010] The present application discloses a rat moxibustion device for the Du meridian. The rat's head is secured by two hinged flaps. By inserting a back fixation plate into the box, the rat is forced to extend its limbs into slots in a support plate. Due to the small distance between the back fixation plate and the support plate, the rat can only lie flat against the support plate. This allows the slots in the back fixation plate to be aligned with the rat's Du meridian. By driving a lifting platform, the moxibustion box is brought closer to the back fixation plate, thus performing moxibustion on the rat's Du meridian. Compared to existing binding and securing methods, using this device for rat moxibustion reduces stimulation to the rat and offers better convenience and precision.

[0011] In some embodiments, the box body has a downwardly recessed arc-shaped notch at the opening, and when the two fixed hinges are closed, the rat's neck is fixed at the arc-shaped notch. The two fixed hinges are also provided with locking buckles for fixing the two fixed hinges in the closed state.

[0012] In some embodiments, the front side of the box is further provided with a support plate located below the arc-shaped notch to support the rat's head. The support plate not only supports the rat's head but also catches the rat's saliva, making it more hygienic.

[0013] In some embodiments, the housing is further provided with two limiting posts for limiting the opening and closing positions of the fixed hinges. The limiting posts serve to limit rotation.

[0014] In some embodiments, the rear end of the support plate is provided with a through-hole, and the box body is also provided with a pull-out box located below the support plate. The rat's excrement can flow through the rear outlet into the pull-out box below, which facilitates regular cleaning.

[0015] In some embodiments, the back fixing plate is provided with a temperature sensor for detecting temperature near the tank body, and a display module and an alarm module are also provided on the side wall of the box body. The display module is connected to the temperature sensor to display the temperature detected by the temperature sensor, and the alarm module is also connected to the temperature sensor to trigger an alarm when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor exceeds a threshold.

[0016] The display module and alarm module can prevent the rats from being scalded. When the temperature is too high, the lifting platform can be driven to move upward to raise the position of the moxibustion box.

[0017] In some embodiments, the side wall of the moxibustion box is provided with a smoke extraction port, which is connected to a negative pressure device to absorb the smoke generated by the moxa pile. By providing a smoke extraction port, researchers can avoid inhaling toxic gases.

[0018] In some embodiments, the lifting drive assembly is a screw and nut assembly connected to the lifting platform, and the lifting platform is guided up and down by a guide rod and guide sleeve.

[0019] In some embodiments, the bottom of the moxibustion box is made of cloth or a perforated board.

[0020] In some embodiments, the box is made of a transparent material. The transparency allows researchers to easily observe the interior.

[0021] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this application has at least the following advantages and positive effects:

[0022] This application discloses a moxibustion device for the Du meridian of rats. The rat's head is secured by two hinged flaps. By inserting a back fixation plate into the box, the rat is forced to extend its limbs into slots in a support plate. Due to the small distance between the back fixation plate and the support plate, the rat can only lie flat against the support plate. This allows the slots in the back fixation plate to be aligned with the Du meridian on the rat's back. By driving a lifting platform, the moxibustion box is brought closer to the back fixation plate, thus performing moxibustion on the rat's Du meridian. Compared to existing binding and securing methods, using this device for moxibustion on rats reduces stimulation and offers better convenience and precision. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The terminology used in the embodiments section of this application is only for explaining specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the application.

[0031] See Figures 1 to 6 This application provides a rat Du meridian moxibustion device, including a box body 1, a support plate 2 fixedly disposed inside the box body 1, and an opening 11 provided on the front side of the box body 1 so that the rat can be placed into the support plate 2 through the opening 11.

[0032] The box body 1 is also rotatably connected to two fixed hinges 3 that can be opened and closed. When the two fixed hinges 3 are closed, they can block the opening 11 and clamp and fix the rat's neck.

[0033] The support plate 2 has two slots 21 that run vertically through the left and right sides and extend in the front-back direction. The box body 1 is also fitted with a detachable back fixing plate 4. The back fixing plate 4 has a slot 41 that runs vertically through the left and right sides and extends in the front-back direction. When the back fixing plate 4 is installed in the box body 1, the back fixing plate 4 is located above the support plate 2 and is used to compress the rat so that its limbs extend into the slots 21 of the support plate 2 and lie flat on the support plate 2, so that the slot 41 of the fixing plate is aligned with the Du meridian of the rat.

[0034] The top of the box 1 forms an open opening. Inside the box 1, there is also a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting platform 5 that is movably connected to the box 1 and located above the back fixing plate 4, a lifting drive assembly 7 for driving the lifting platform 5 to move up and down, and a moxibustion box 6 placed on the lifting platform 5.

[0035] The moxibustion box 6 is used to place the moxa pile 8, and the bottom of the moxibustion box 6 is a breathable structure. The middle part of the lifting platform 5 is a hollow part 51 that runs through the top and bottom. When the lifting platform 5 rises, the moxibustion box 6 can move to the open part of the box body 1 for convenient placement of the moxa pile 8. When the lifting platform 5 falls, the moxibustion box 6 is close to the back fixing plate 4, so as to perform moxibustion on the rat.

[0036] This rat moxibustion device for the Du meridian uses two fixing hinges 3 to secure the rat's head. By inserting a back fixing plate 4 into the box 1, the rat is forced to extend its limbs into the slots 21 of the support plate 2. Due to the small distance between the back fixing plate 4 and the support plate 2, the rat can only lie flat against the support plate 2. In this way, the slots 21 on the back fixing plate 4 can be aligned with the Du meridian on the rat's back. By driving the lifting platform 5, the moxibustion box 6 is brought closer to the back fixing plate 4, thereby performing moxibustion on the rat's Du meridian. Compared with existing binding and fixing methods, using this device to perform moxibustion on rats reduces stimulation to the rat and is more convenient and accurate.

[0037] The box body 1 has a downward-recessed arc-shaped notch 12 at the opening 11. When the two fixing hinges 3 are closed, the rat's neck is fixed at the arc-shaped notch 12. The two fixing hinges 3 are also provided with locking buckles 9 for fixing the two fixing hinges 3 in the closed state.

[0038] The front of the box 1 is also equipped with a support plate 13 located below the arc-shaped notch 12 to support the rat's head. The support plate 13 can support the rat's head and also catch the rat's saliva, making it more hygienic.

[0039] The housing 1 is also provided with two limiting posts 14 for limiting the opening and closing positions of the fixed hinge 3. The limiting posts 14 serve to limit rotation.

[0040] The rear end of the support plate 2 is provided with a vertically penetrating drainage hole 22, and the box body 1 is also provided with a pull-out box 101 located below the support plate 2. The rat's excrement can flow through the drainage hole 22 at the rear to the pull-out box 101 below, which facilitates regular cleaning.

[0041] The back fixing plate 4 is equipped with a temperature sensor 42 for detecting temperature near the tank 41. The side wall of the box 1 is also equipped with a display module 102 and an alarm module. The display module 102 is connected to the temperature sensor 42 to display the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 42. The alarm module is also connected to the temperature sensor 42 and will sound an alarm when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 42 exceeds the threshold.

[0042] The display module 102 and alarm module can prevent the rat from being scalded. When the temperature is too high, the lifting platform 5 can be driven to move upward to raise the position of the moxibustion box 6.

[0043] The side wall of the moxibustion box 6 is equipped with a smoke extraction port 61, which is connected to a negative pressure device to absorb the smoke generated by the moxa pile 8. By setting up the smoke extraction port 61, researchers can avoid inhaling toxic gases.

[0044] The lifting drive assembly 7 is a screw and nut assembly 71 connected to the lifting platform 5. The lifting platform 5 is guided up and down by the guide rod and guide sleeve 72.

[0045] The bottom of the moxibustion box 6 is made of cloth or perforated board.

[0046] Box 1 is made of transparent material. The transparency of box 1 allows researchers to easily observe the internal contents.

[0047] The following is a brief description of the working process and usage of the rat Du meridian moxibustion device described in the above embodiments:

[0048] Place the rat on the support plate 2 of the box 1, close the fixing hinge 3 to fix the rat's neck, insert the back fixing plate 4, flatten and expose the rat's Du meridian, connect the power supply, and turn on the temperature sensor 42.
