Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to medical auxiliary devices, specifically to a moxibustion box. Background Technology

[0002] Moxibustion on the legs is a common health care and treatment method in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It can warm the meridians, dispel cold and dampness, and relieve fatigue. Methods include ginger-separated moxibustion, where ginger slices, salt, or garlic slices are placed on the affected area of ​​the patient's leg, and then moxa wool or moxa cones are placed on the ginger slices and lit. Alternatively, a moxibustion box with moxa cones fixed to it can be placed on the patient's leg. However, these methods are prone to causing the lit moxa cones to tip over due to leg movement, potentially igniting bed sheets, burning the patient, or even causing a fire.

[0003] To this end, Chinese Patent Application No. 201921279563 discloses a leg moxibustion device, including a moxibustion box body with a flip-top. The outer plate of the moxibustion box body has a smoke exhaust mechanism, which consists of an air-driving part, a filter screen, and an elastic frame. The inner perimeter of the moxibustion box body is covered with an aluminum inner wall frame, and the moxibustion box body and the aluminum inner wall frame are fitted together to form a gap. The inner perimeter of the moxibustion box body is provided with a support frame, on which moxa stick nails are fixed. The lower end of the moxibustion box body is set with a U-shaped opening structure, and the U-shaped opening structure is covered with a soft material layer.

[0004] When in use, the moxibustion box is placed on the bed, with the U-shaped ends directly locking the legs. After the moxa stick is lit, it is placed inside the box. As the moxa stick burns and the temperature rises, the moxibustion gas directly fumes the legs. The box forms a sealed space, thus performing moxibustion on the patient's legs.

[0005] However, the aforementioned solutions result in large boxes that are inconvenient for storage. Furthermore, the need to incorporate smoke ducts and other structures within the box leads to a highly complex design and higher operating costs. While conventional moxibustion boxes are made of wood and do not require fireproofing, the smoke from the aforementioned solutions must travel through a long and winding smoke duct before entering the U-shaped chamber designed to accommodate the legs. This can easily lead to spark accumulation, thus necessitating fireproofing of the narrow smoke duct. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a moxibustion box that is easy to store and has low operating costs.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs a moxibustion box, including a moxibustion box body for containing moxa sticks, and an outer box for containing the moxibustion box body. The outer box includes an assembled frame structure and a heat insulation sleeve fitted over the frame structure. The frame structure includes a top plate, a support plate for supporting the moxibustion box body, and side plates located on the sides of the top plate and the support plate. The top plate has a vertically penetrating placement opening. The heat insulation sleeve has limb passage openings on both the front and rear sides that are penetrating and opening downwards. A shielding curtain is provided at the limb passage opening. The heat insulation sleeve has a cover that is movably connected to the placement opening and used to close the placement opening. A vent is provided on the side plate or the top plate. A smoke vent connector is threaded onto the top plate. The middle part of the support plate is mesh-like.

[0008] This utility model uses an assembled frame as the main body of the moxibustion box. When not in use, it can be disassembled and laid flat, and the heat insulation sleeve and other parts can also be folded and stored. Compared with a large and heavy moxibustion box, it is more convenient to store.

[0009] This invention supports the existing moxibustion box body with a support plate, allowing the lit moxa stick on the moxibustion box body to be directly close to the patient's leg affected area, or even to point the moxa stick towards the patient's leg affected area. It eliminates the need for a flue and fireproofing to prevent sparks from accumulating in a narrow flue and igniting.

[0010] This invention is used in conjunction with a conventional moxibustion box as the main body of the moxibustion device. Medical personnel only need to learn how to disassemble and assemble the frame-type outer casing of this invention. Furthermore, the moxibustion box can be stored without disassembly; existing moxibustion boxes can be placed inside the outer casing of this invention, thereby reducing the space occupied by moxibustion-related equipment in the department. The heat insulation sleeve can be made of conventional fabric or heat-resistant rubber. Compared to moxibustion supports used to fix moxa sticks, this invention creates a relatively closed chamber, resulting in better moxibustion effects.

[0011] The vent is used for air intake to ensure sufficient oxygen, while the smoke exhaust connector is used in conjunction with the smoke exhaust mechanism of large moxibustion equipment in hospitals. It can expel the moxa smoke accumulated inside the outer box and play a cooling role, avoiding the high temperature caused by excessive moxa smoke inside the outer box, and also preventing the moxa smoke from overflowing through the front and rear openings and choking the patient, thereby improving the patient's comfort during moxibustion.

[0012] The support plate has a mesh-like structure in the middle with fine holes, which can catch the falling ash and prevent the patient's legs from being burned.

[0013] Preferably, the frame structure includes side plates on the left and right sides, with a plurality of first support protrusions spaced vertically on the inner sidewalls of the side plates. Each first support protrusion has an upward-opening fixing hole, and the side edges of the support plate and top plate have fixing protrusions for extending into the fixing holes. The design of the first support protrusions and fixing holes facilitates the fixing of the support plate and top plate to the side plates, forming a stable frame structure. This modular design facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the moxibustion box, promotes transportation and storage, and reduces usage costs.

[0014] Preferably, the side plate has at least two first support protrusions spaced vertically apart at its upper end. The vertical position of the support plate can be selected according to actual needs, thus accommodating patients with different limb sizes and allowing adjustment of the vertical position of the moxibustion box body, making the distance between the lit moxa stick and the patient's affected area adjustable.

[0015] Preferably, both sides of the two side plates are provided with connecting strips, the front and rear side walls of the side plates are provided with second support protrusions, the ends of the connecting strips are provided with overlapping grooves that extend through the front and rear and open downwards, and the ends of the second support protrusions are provided with limiting protrusions with a width greater than the overlapping grooves.

[0016] The side panels and connecting strips can be firmly connected together to form a complete frame structure, enhancing the overall integrity and stability of the moxibustion box. The cooperation between the limiting protrusions and the overlapping grooves prevents the connecting strips from loosening or falling off during use, ensuring the long-term stable use of the moxibustion box.

[0017] Preferably, one end of the cover is movably connected to the heat insulation sleeve, and the other end of the cover is provided with a magnetic attraction structure that cooperates with the heat insulation sleeve. The cover includes an outer heat insulation layer and a plate located inside the heat insulation layer.

[0018] Preferably, the vent is located on the upper side of the support plate. This arrangement reduces the impact of airflow on the moxa smoke on the patient's legs, thus ensuring the effectiveness of moxibustion.

[0019] This invention has the advantages of being easy to use, easy to store, and having low production and usage costs. Attached Figure Description
