Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a topical medicine bag for traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Background Technology
[0002] The spleen and stomach play a vital role in the digestion, absorption, and transportation of nutrients in the human body. Due to factors such as fast-paced lifestyles, irregular eating habits, and high stress levels, the incidence of spleen and stomach diseases is rising year by year. Common spleen and stomach diseases include spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, abdominal distension and pain, loss of appetite, indigestion, diarrhea, and loose stools. Currently, the main treatment methods for spleen and stomach diseases include oral medication, acupuncture, and massage. While oral medication can regulate spleen and stomach function to some extent, long-term use can irritate the gastrointestinal tract and cause adverse reactions. Furthermore, some patients have poor medication adherence. Acupuncture and massage require professional operation, and the treatment time and location are relatively limited, which is inconvenient for busy modern people. External application of medicated bags, as a traditional Chinese medicine external treatment method, has unique advantages.
[0003] External medicine bags mainly consist of an outer packaging, a medicine filling layer, and a sealing device. The outer packaging is mostly made of breathable and soft cotton cloth. The medicine filling layer is mixed with various Chinese medicinal herbs according to their efficacy. When the medicine bag is close to the skin, the medicinal ingredients penetrate the body through the stratum corneum of the skin. The warm stimulation can dilate capillaries and promote circulation, helping the medicine to play a better role.
[0004] In the field of TCM external therapy, although TCM external medicine bags are widely used today, there are still some problems that need to be solved. In actual treatment, with changes in the user's body posture and daily activities, some TCM external medicine bags are prone to wrinkling due to the lack of an effective stabilizing structure. These wrinkles not only affect the fit between the medicine bag and the skin, but also hinder the even release and penetration of the active ingredients, resulting in excessively high or low local drug concentrations, which seriously affects the treatment effect. More importantly, the medicinal materials in the medicine bag will pile up to one side due to the user's movements. This phenomenon directly leads to an uneven distribution of medicinal materials. In this case, the medicinal materials in the piled-up area cannot fully exert their medicinal effects due to excessive accumulation, while other areas cannot achieve the expected therapeutic effect due to a lack of medicinal materials. Ultimately, the entire treatment process is greatly reduced, making it difficult to achieve the ideal therapeutic goal. Therefore, a TCM external medicine bag is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a traditional Chinese medicine external medicine bag, which aims to improve the problem of the lack of an effective and stable structure in the existing traditional Chinese medicine external medicine bags.

They also provide a suitable platform for the installation of subsequent functional structures, facilitating the coordinated functioning of all parts. The two mounting plates 3 are internally equipped with positioning mechanisms for precise positioning and stabilization of key components inside the medicine bag, preventing displacement due to shaking during use and thus ensuring stable therapeutic effects. The two mounting plates 3 and the outer casing 1 are externally equipped with fixing mechanisms for secure attachment. These mechanisms allow the medicine bag to be easily and firmly fixed to the corresponding parts of the body, preventing slippage during use and ensuring the continuity and effectiveness of the treatment process. The limiting mechanism includes a fixed plate 4, which is externally and fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting plate 3. As an important component of the limiting mechanism, the fixed plate 4, in conjunction with subsequent components, plays a crucial role in limiting the medicine liner 8. Its shape and size are designed according to the internal structure of the mounting plate 3 and the overall limiting requirements, ensuring a stable installation that is not easily loosened, thus laying a solid foundation for subsequent limiting operations. A movable plate 5 is slidably connected internally to the mounting plate 3. The movable plate 5 can slide flexibly within the mounting plate 3 along a set track, exhibiting excellent sliding performance and accurately changing its position according to actual operational requirements. This allows it to work in conjunction with the fixed plate 4 to control whether or not the medicine liner 8 is limited, ensuring the adjustability of the medicine liner 8's position. A limiting block 6 is provided on the side of the movable plate 5 and the fixed plate 4. The medicine liner 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the limiting block 6. The limiting block 6 is a key structure that directly contacts the medicine liner 8 and realizes the limiting function. The shape of the limiting block 6 fits the outer sides of the medicine liner 8, which can accurately restrict the medicine liner 8, prevent it from moving at will during use, ensure that the medicine liner 8 is in the right position, and ensure that the medicine can act evenly on the human body, thereby improving the treatment effect. The inner liner 8, as the core component for storing medicines, is made of a composite fabric with good breathability and a certain degree of waterproofness. This ensures that the effective components of the medicine can easily permeate and come into contact with the human body, while preventing the medicine from getting damp and affecting its efficacy. It also allows for easy removal for medicine replacement or boiling operations, ensuring the convenience of medicine use and the continuity of its efficacy. A rotating screw 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate 5. The rotating screw 7 engages with the mounting plate 3 via a threaded connection. When the rotating screw 7 is turned, the rotational motion is converted into linear motion, causing the movable plate 5 to slide accurately within the mounting plate 3, enabling the compression or release of the limiting block 6. The operation is simple and precise, providing a reliable control method for limiting and replacing the inner liner 8. The outer liner 8 is externally slidably connected to the inside of the outer shell 1. The inner liner 8 can slide smoothly in and out of the outer shell 1, facilitating easy placement and removal. The outer shell 1 also provides a certain degree of protection for the inner liner 8, preventing it from being contaminated or damaged by external factors. The front end of the medicine liner 8 is equipped with a zipper 9. The design of the zipper 9 greatly facilitates the operation of filling medicine into the medicine liner 8 and removing medicine residue. Simply pull the zipper 9 open or close the medicine liner 8 easily, improving the convenience and efficiency of operation. The fixing mechanism includes a sub-patch 15, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of one of the mounting plates 3. Sub-patch 15 is part of the fixing mechanism and, through its cooperation with the female patch 16, can fix the medicine bag in a suitable position on the body. It has good adhesive properties, is not easily detached, and is made of soft material that will not cause discomfort to the skin, ensuring the medicine bag maintains a stable position during use and guaranteeing the normal progress of treatment. The top of another external plate 13 is fixedly connected to the female patch 16. The female patch 16 matches the sub-patch 15, and after they are attached, they form a stable connection, allowing the medicine bag to adhere tightly to the body, preventing movement from affecting the efficacy of the medication, ensuring the stability of the medicine bag's position during treatment, and providing a guarantee for continuous and effective treatment. The top of the outer cover 1 is fixedly connected to a second female patch 17, and the bottom of the outer cover 1 is fixedly connected to a third female patch 18. The second female patch 17 and the third female patch 18 work together to further enhance the overall fixation of the medicine bag, making it fit the human body better and preventing loosening or displacement during use. This ensures the fit of the medicine bag to the human body during use, helps the medicine to work better, and allows the user not to worry about the medicine bag falling off during activities, ensuring the continuity of the treatment process and improving the actual treatment effect.
[0013] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The disassembly and assembly mechanism includes an installation block 10, with a telescopic spring 11 fixedly connected to the top of the installation block 10. A telescopic column 12 is sleeved inside the telescopic spring 11. The installation block 10 is externally slidably connected to the inside of a fixed block 2. As a key connecting component of the disassembly and assembly mechanism, the installation block 10, with the cooperation of the telescopic spring 11 and the telescopic column 12, can achieve stable sliding within the fixed block 2. This provides a flexible connection method for the installation and disassembly of the installation plate 3 and the fixed block 2, ensuring the smoothness of the entire disassembly and assembly process and facilitating subsequent maintenance and other operations on the various components of the medicine bag. The telescopic spring 11 has good elastic recovery capability. When subjected to external pressure or tension, it can deform within a certain range and quickly return to its original shape after the force disappears. Its elastic force is moderate, ensuring that the installation block 10 is in a stable connection state during normal use, and also allowing the installation block 10 to slide smoothly through appropriate external force when disassembly is required, thus separating the installation plate 3 from the fixed block 2. The telescopic column 12 acts as a guide, ensuring that the telescopic spring 11 moves in the correct direction during extension and retraction, preventing bending or deformation of the spring, ensuring the normal operation of the telescopic spring 11 and the stability of the entire disassembly and assembly mechanism, making the disassembly and assembly operation more reliable and precise. The mounting plate 3 has a groove on its exterior, and the mounting block 10 is externally slidably connected to the inside of the groove. The groove design provides a precise track for the sliding of the mounting block 10, allowing it to slide accurately on the mounting plate 3, ensuring a tight connection and smooth sliding between the disassembly and assembly mechanism and the mounting plate 3, further improving the stability and operability of the entire medicine bag structure. The mounting block 10 has a control component on its exterior, facilitating user operation of the disassembly and assembly mechanism, making the entire process simple and easy to use, requiring no complex tools or professional skills, thus improving the user experience. The other end of the telescopic spring 11 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixing block 2. This connection method ensures that both ends of the telescopic spring 11 have stable points of force, guaranteeing its stability when exerting its elastic force, and ensuring the stable and reliable operation of the entire disassembly and assembly mechanism. The bottom end of the telescopic spring 11 is fixedly connected to the top end of the mounting block 10, making the telescopic spring 11 and the mounting block 10 tightly connected to form an organic whole. When an external force is applied to the mounting block 10, the telescopic spring 11 can respond in time to realize the corresponding telescopic action, thereby driving the mounting plate 3 to complete the disassembly and assembly operation with the fixing block 2. The control component includes an external plate 13, the rear end of which is fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting block 10. The external plate 13 plays the role of transmitting external force. By pulling or pushing the external plate 13, the user can transmit the external force to the mounting block 10, thereby realizing the control of the disassembly and assembly mechanism. Its connection is firm and can effectively ensure the force transmission effect, so that the operation can be accurately applied to the mounting block 10 to achieve the expected disassembly and assembly function. The top of the external plate 13 is fixedly connected to the control plate 14. The control plate 14 is the part that the user operates directly. Its design conforms to the ergonomic principle, making it convenient for the user to hold and apply force. The surface can also be treated with some anti-slip treatment to prevent the hand from slipping during operation. By pulling or pushing the control plate 14 accordingly, the entire disassembly and assembly mechanism can be easily controlled to separate or connect the mounting plate 3 and the fixing block 2, thereby improving the convenience and controllability of the disassembly and assembly of the medicine bag. The fixed block 2 has a sliding groove on its exterior, and the outer plate 13 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove. The sliding groove provides a defined track for the sliding of the outer plate 13, ensuring that the outer plate 13 can only slide in a predetermined direction. This guarantees the accuracy and stability of the entire control component's operation, avoids operational errors caused by deviations in the direction of external forces, and further ensures the reliable operation of the disassembly and assembly mechanism. The exterior of the rotating screw 7 is threadedly connected to the interior of the mounting plate 3. This threaded connection converts rotational motion into linear motion, allowing the rotation of the rotating screw 7 to precisely drive the moving plate 5 to slide, thereby achieving the squeezing or releasing operation of the limiting block 6. It has good mechanical transmission precision, ensuring the accuracy of the position control of the medicine liner 8, and thus ensuring the stability and therapeutic effect of the medicine bag during use. The top of the telescopic column 12 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixing block 2. This fixing method provides a stable support point for the telescopic column 12, enabling it to better play its guiding role, ensuring that the telescopic spring 11 moves in the correct direction during the telescopic process, maintaining the stable operation of the entire assembly and disassembly mechanism, and ensuring the smooth connection and disassembly between the various parts of the medicine bag.
[0014] Working principle: When the user needs to use the external medicine bag to treat the spleen and stomach, they tear open the second female patch 17 and the third female patch 18, and then rotate the rotating screw 7 to make the moving plate 5 slide inside the mounting plate 3. This releases the pressure of the fixed plate 4 and the moving plate 5 on the limiting block 6, allowing the medicine inner liner 8 to be removed from the inside of the outer shell 1 for replacement or boiling of medicine. After operation, the medicine inner liner 8 is placed inside the outer shell 1. Then, by rotating the rotating screw 7 in the opposite direction, the moving plate 5 and the fixed plate 4 press the limiting block 6 again. This ensures the stability of the inner medicine bag 8, allowing the second female patch 17 and the second female patch 18 to adhere together. The entire external medicine bag is then fitted onto the medicine body using the first female patch 15 and the first female patch 16, thus initiating the treatment process. By limiting and releasing the limiting block 6, the inner medicine bag 8 will not wrinkle or pile up due to personnel movement during treatment, thereby ensuring the treatment effect. It also facilitates the replacement of the medicine inside the inner medicine bag 8, reducing preparation time. Compared to disposable medicine bags, it reduces resource waste and is environmentally friendly.
[0015] When cleaning is required after prolonged use or when parts are damaged, pulling the control plate 14 causes the outer plate 13 to slide the mounting block 10 inside the fixed block 2, allowing the mounting block 10 to slide out from inside the mounting plate 3. At this point, the mounting plate 3 can be separated from the outer casing 1. For cleaning, separation facilitates individual cleaning and improves cleaning efficiency. For damaged parts, replacement can be performed quickly, avoiding overall waste and improving resource utilization.
[0016] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
