Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of moxibustion equipment, specifically relating to a moxibustion device with a smoke elimination mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Moxibustion, as an important traditional Chinese medicine therapy, is widely used because of its significant effects of warming the meridians, dispelling cold, promoting qi circulation, and unblocking the channels.

[0003] However, traditional moxibustion treatment methods have many limitations: the operation process generates a large amount of irritating smoke, which seriously affects the air quality of the treatment environment and the patient experience; the treatment process is highly dependent on the practitioner's personal technique and experience, making it difficult to achieve standardization and precision, resulting in low efficiency; moreover, traditional moxibustion equipment has limited functions, usually only allowing for fixed-position suspended moxibustion or box moxibustion, unable to achieve simultaneous, automated moxibustion along the meridians for multiple acupoints on the back, and even more difficult to realize the three-dimensional treatment concept of "pre- and post-operative acupoint combination". Although some existing moxibustion devices have attempted to solve the smoke or mobility problems to some extent, they are often complex in structure, expensive, and still have significant shortcomings in terms of treatment flexibility, automation, and complete smoke purification, failing to meet the modern clinical demand for efficient, comfortable, intelligent, and environmentally friendly moxibustion treatment.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a moxibustion device with a smoke elimination mechanism to solve the problems existing in the current technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a moxibustion device with a smoke elimination mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a moxibustion device with a smoke-eliminating mechanism, comprising a moxibustion bed and a drive assembly. The moxibustion bed has a mounting groove in the middle of its upper end, and several sets of moxibustion components are arranged within the mounting groove. Both upper sides of the moxibustion bed are fixedly connected to protrusions, and both sides of the moxibustion bed located above the mounting groove are fixedly connected to fixing plates. A base plate is placed on the upper end of the fixing plates, and a control center is located on one side of the moxibustion bed, with a touch screen at its upper end. The drive assembly includes a first drive motor, which is fixedly connected to the other side of the moxibustion bed via a fixing frame. The first output shaft of the first drive motor is meshed with a synchronous belt, and the upper end of the synchronous belt is meshed with a threaded shaft. The other end of each threaded shaft passes through and is slidably connected to the middle of a symmetrical protrusion on one side. An L-shaped guide block is threadedly connected to the middle of the threaded shaft. The upper middle of the symmetrical guide blocks is fixedly connected to both ends of a connecting frame. The connecting frame is semi-circular, and its inner surface is provided with toothed plates that are meshed with an upper moxibustion unit.

[0007] It should be noted in the plan that the moxibustion bed is a traditional and common moxibustion bed currently on the market. The base plate is divided into at least three pieces, and each piece is provided with acupoint holes.

[0008] It is worth noting that the moxibustion bed is equipped with casters with locking mechanisms at all four corners of its lower end.

[0009] It should be further noted that the moxibustion bed is fixedly connected to the outer shell of the drive assembly.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the first output shaft of the first drive motor and the symmetrical threaded shaft are both fixedly connected to the first limiting plate on both sides of the synchronous belt.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the upper moxibustion unit includes a sliding block. A limiting groove is provided in the middle of one side of the sliding block, and guide holes are provided on both sides of the middle of the sliding block. Guide shafts are slidably connected to the guide holes, and the guide shafts are semi-circular with their two ends fixedly connected to the upper sides of the symmetrical guide block. The inner surface of the limiting groove is slidably connected to the second output shaft of the second drive motor, and the upper end of the limiting groove is slidably connected to the outer surface of the connecting frame. The outer surface of one end of the second output shaft of the second drive motor is engaged with the lower end of the connecting frame. The sliding block has a toothed plate with second limiting plates fixedly connected to both sides. The lower end of the sliding block is fixedly connected to a moxibustion chamber. The moxibustion chamber has a first sliding groove inside. The upper end of the first sliding groove is slidably connected to a mounting plate. The mounting plate has a second sliding groove inside. Several operating components are fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the second sliding groove. The operating components include an igniter, a temperature sensor, and a placement groove. The lower end of the second sliding groove is slidably connected to a mesh plate. A cover plate is hinged to one side of the front end of the sliding block. A fixed handle is fixedly connected to the middle of one side of the cover plate.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the moxibustion chamber is provided with an exhaust port on one side of the first sliding groove and is connected to the high-temperature ternary catalytic device of the moxibustion component of the moxibustion bed through a connecting pipe.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the moxibustion device with a smoke elimination mechanism provided by this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) This device realizes a three-dimensional, multi-layered moxibustion treatment mode, significantly improving treatment efficiency and applicability. The moxibustion bed mounting slot is equipped with multiple sets of lower moxibustion components, which can work in conjunction with the upper moxibustion unit or independently. This design allows for simultaneous moxibustion of acupoints on the patient's back and abdomen, realizing the traditional moxibustion concept of "pre- and post-treatment acupoint pairing," greatly improving the efficacy of a single treatment. Operators can flexibly select single or combined modes through the control center to meet the personalized treatment needs of different conditions.

[0015] (2) The upper moxibustion unit can move precisely along a semi-circular trajectory through a sophisticated drive component and toothed plate transmission mechanism, and can also move precisely along the trajectory of the moxibustion bed through the drive component, simulating professional techniques; while the lower fixed moxibustion component provides a stable basic heat effect. The upper and lower units can work together to form a three-dimensional heat field, or they can be used separately to treat specific areas, avoiding waste of resources. This flexible and precise control method, combined with a highly efficient high-temperature catalytic smoke elimination system, makes traditional moxibustion treatment more modern, comfortable, and intelligent.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a moxibustion device with a smoke elimination mechanism, including: a moxibustion bed 1, a drive assembly 3, and a mounting groove 102 in the middle of the upper end of the moxibustion bed 1. Several sets of moxibustion components are arranged in the mounting groove 102. Protrusions 101 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of both sides of the moxibustion bed 1. Fixing plates 7 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper end of the moxibustion bed 1 in the mounting groove 102. A base plate 8 is placed on the upper end of the fixing plates 7. A control center 9 is located on one side of the moxibustion bed 1, and a touch screen 10 is located on the upper end of the control center 9. The drive assembly 3 includes a first drive motor 301. The first drive motor 301 is fixedly connected to the other side of the moxibustion bed 1 by the fixing frame 303, and the first output shaft 302 of the first drive motor 301 is engaged with the synchronous belt 304. The upper end of the synchronous belt 304 is engaged with the threaded shaft 305. The other end of the threaded shaft 305 is respectively passed through and slidably connected to the middle of the symmetrical protrusion 101 on one side. The middle of the threaded shaft 305 is threaded with the L-shaped guide block 307. The middle of the upper end of the symmetrical guide block 307 is fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting frame 4. The connecting frame 4 is semi-circular, and the inner surface of the connecting frame 4 is provided with a toothed plate 401, which is engaged with the upper moxibustion unit 6.

[0023] Further as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it is worth noting that the moxibustion bed 1 is the traditional moxibustion bed 1 commonly seen on the market. The base plate 8 is divided into at least three sections, each of which is equipped with acupoint holes 801. By adopting a segmented design for the base plate 8, which is divided into at least three sections and is equipped with acupoint holes 801, this structure makes it easy to flexibly adjust or partially replace the base plate according to the patient's body shape and different treatment areas, thereby enhancing the adaptability and convenience of use, and also making it easier to clean and maintain.

[0024] Further as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it is worth noting that the four corners of the lower end of the moxibustion bed 1 are equipped with casters 2 with locking structures. The casters 2 with locking structures installed at the four corners of the lower end of the moxibustion bed 1 enable the entire moxibustion device to have flexible mobility and stable fixation function, making it easy to transfer between different treatment sites. During operation, the locking structure keeps the device stable and ensures treatment safety.

[0025] Further as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it is worth noting that the moxibustion bed 1 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 12 on the outside of the drive component 3. By fixing the outer shell 12 to the outside of the drive component 3, the moving parts can be effectively isolated from the external environment, which not only improves the safety of the device operation and prevents accidental contact or clothing from being caught, but also prevents dust and noise, extends the service life of the drive component and improves the overall aesthetics.

[0026] The working process of this solution is as follows: The patient lies prone on the moxibustion bed 1. After setting parameters through the touch screen 10 of the control center 9, the first drive motor 301 starts, driving the synchronous belt 304 to rotate through the first output shaft 302, which in turn drives the two threaded shafts 305 to rotate synchronously, causing the L-shaped guide block 307 threaded to move along the threaded shaft 305, thereby driving the entire connecting frame 4 to move along the length of the moxibustion bed 1. The toothed plate 401 on the inner surface of the connecting frame 4 meshes with the second output shaft 6021 of the second drive motor 602 in the upper moxibustion unit 6. When the second drive motor 602 is working, it can drive the entire upper moxibustion unit 6 to move in an arc trajectory along the semi-circular guide shaft 5, accurately covering the acupoints on the patient's back. At the same time, the lower moxibustion component installed in the mounting slot 102 of the moxibustion bed 1 can perform moxibustion on the acupoints on the patient's abdomen. The smoke generated by moxibustion is drawn into the high-temperature three-way catalytic converter built into the bed body through the exhaust port 604 of the moxibustion chamber 603 and the connecting pipe 11 for harmless treatment.

[0027] As can be seen from the above working process: the base plate 8 adopts a segmented design, divided into at least three sections and equipped with acupoint holes 801. This structure facilitates flexible adjustment or partial replacement of the base plate according to the patient's body shape and different treatment areas, enhancing adaptability and convenience of use, while also making cleaning and maintenance easier. The universal wheels 2 with locking structures installed at the four corners of the lower end of the moxibustion bed 1 provide the entire moxibustion device with flexible mobility and stable fixation, facilitating easy transfer between different treatment locations. During operation, the locking structure keeps the device stable, ensuring treatment safety. The outer shell 12, fixedly connected to the outside of the drive assembly 3, effectively isolates the moving parts from the external environment, improving the safety of device operation, preventing accidental contact or clothing from being caught, and also providing dust and noise reduction, extending the service life of the drive assembly and enhancing the overall aesthetics.

[0028] Further as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it is worth noting that the first output shaft 302 of the first drive motor 301 and the symmetrical threaded shaft 305 are both fixedly connected to the first limiting plate 306 on both sides of the synchronous belt 304. By setting the first limiting plate 306 on the positions of the first output shaft 302 and the threaded shaft 305 of the first drive motor 301 on both sides of the synchronous belt 304, the axial movement or detachment of the synchronous belt 304 during the transmission process can be effectively prevented, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of power transmission, thereby ensuring the stability of the movement trajectory of the upper moxibustion unit 6.

[0029] Further as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it is worth noting that the upper moxibustion unit 6 includes a sliding block 601. A limiting groove 6011 is provided in the middle of one side of the sliding block 601, and guide holes 6012 are provided on both sides of the middle of the sliding block 601. Guide shafts 5 are slidably connected to the guide holes 6012. The guide shafts 5 are semi-circular, and their two ends are fixedly connected to the upper sides of the symmetrical guide blocks 307. The inner surface of the limiting groove 6011 is slidably connected to the second output shaft 6021 of the second drive motor 602. The upper end of the limiting groove 6011 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the connecting frame 4. One end of the outer surface of the second output shaft 6021 of the second drive motor 602 is meshed with the toothed plate 401 at the lower end of the connecting frame 4, and second limiting plates 6022 are fixedly connected to both sides of the toothed plate 401. A moxibustion chamber 603 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the sliding block 601. The device has a first sliding groove 6031 inside, and a mounting plate 605 is slidably connected to the upper end of the first sliding groove 6031. The mounting plate 605 has a second sliding groove 6052 inside, and several operating components 6051 are fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the second sliding groove 6052. The operating components 6051 include an igniter, a temperature sensor and a placement slot. A mesh plate 606 is slidably connected to the lower end of the second sliding groove 6052. A cover plate 607 is hinged to one side of the front end of the sliding block 601. A fixed handle 6071 is fixedly connected to the middle of one side of the cover plate 607. The upper moxibustion unit 6 integrates a precision gear and rack transmission mechanism 401 driven by a second drive motor 602 and a semi-circular guide shaft 5 guiding mechanism, which realizes the automated and precise movement of the moxibustion chamber 603 along the arc of the human back, which can perfectly simulate the gentle moxibustion technique of a professional physician. Its modular moxibustion chamber 603 design, through the slide-out mounting plate 605, operating components 6051 (including igniter, temperature sensor, etc.) and mesh plate 606, makes the installation, ignition, temperature monitoring and ash cleaning of moxa sticks extremely simple and safe, greatly improving operating efficiency and treatment experience.

[0030] Further as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it is worth noting that the moxibustion chamber 603 has an exhaust port 604 on one side of the first sliding groove 6031, and is connected to the high-temperature three-way catalytic device of the moxibustion component of the moxibustion bed 1 through a connecting pipe 11. The moxibustion chamber 603, through the exhaust port 604 and the connecting pipe 11, efficiently guides the moxa smoke generated during its operation into the high-temperature three-way catalytic device integrated inside the moxibustion bed 1 for centralized purification. This targeted smoke elimination design can capture and completely decompose harmful substances at the source, greatly improving the treatment environment, avoiding secondary pollution, and achieving environmentally friendly and healthy smokeless moxibustion treatment.

[0031] In summary: The first limiting plate 306, positioned on either side of the synchronous belt 304 by the first output shaft 302 and threaded shaft 305 of the first drive motor 301, effectively prevents axial movement or detachment of the synchronous belt 304 during transmission, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of power transmission and thus guaranteeing the stability of the upper moxibustion unit 6's movement trajectory. The upper moxibustion unit 6 integrates a precision gear and rack transmission mechanism 401 driven by the second drive motor 602 and a semi-circular guide shaft 5 guiding mechanism, enabling automated and precise movement of the moxibustion chamber 603 along the curve of the human back, perfectly simulating the gentle moxibustion techniques of a professional physician. Its modular design, through the slide-out mounting plate 605, operating components 6051 (including an igniter, temperature sensor, etc.), and mesh plate 606, makes the installation, ignition, temperature monitoring, and ash removal of the moxa stick exceptionally simple and safe, greatly improving operational efficiency and the treatment experience. The moxibustion chamber 603, through its exhaust port 604 and connecting pipe 11, efficiently guides the moxa smoke generated during operation into the high-temperature three-way catalytic converter integrated inside the moxibustion bed 1 for centralized purification. This targeted smoke elimination design captures and completely decomposes harmful substances at the source, greatly improving the treatment environment, avoiding secondary pollution, and achieving environmentally friendly and healthy smokeless moxibustion treatment.
