Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a modern moxibustion device that simulates moxibustion. Background Technology
[0002] Moxibustion is a commonly used treatment and physiotherapy method in traditional Chinese medicine. It utilizes the stimulating effect of heat to promote the flow of qi and blood through the reflexes of acupoints along the body's meridians, thereby relieving pain and discomfort. Early moxibustion methods involved burning mugwort to create a warm, burning effect on the treatment area. Its physical essence lies in the far-infrared radiation produced during the burning of mugwort, which exerts a therapeutic effect on relevant acupoints.
[0003] In existing technologies, machines are gradually replacing manual operation. The moxibustion stick is fixed to a support for burning, and the angle of the support can be manually adjusted to bring the burning moxa closer to the patient's acupoints for therapeutic effect. However, in practical applications, moxibustion requires the use of various moxibustion methods depending on the type and severity of the patient's condition, allowing the moxa to move within a certain range. Current supports require manual angle adjustment and cannot be adjusted automatically. Furthermore, burning moxa involves an open flame, which is dangerous and produces a large amount of smoke, causing environmental pollution.
[0004] To address these issues, we propose a modern moxibustion device that simulates moxibustion, in order to solve the problems of open flame hazards and environmental pollution from burning mugwort in existing technologies, and the inability of existing moxibustion supports to perform small-scale autonomous movements in conjunction with various moxibustion methods. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a modern moxibustion device that simulates moxibustion, in order to solve the problems of open flame hazards and environmental pollution caused by burning mugwort, and the inability of existing moxibustion supports to perform small-range autonomous movements in conjunction with various moxibustion methods.
[0006] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides a modern moxibustion device that simulates moxibustion, comprising: a support, a displacement component, a heat moxibustion component, and a control component;
[0007] The heat therapy component is located at the working end of the displacement component and includes a heating block, the heating block being covered by a heat therapy shell.
[0008] The displacement component is located on the top of the support and includes several robotic arms connected in sequence. Adjacent robotic arms are connected by mounting blocks, allowing the robotic arms to rotate around the mounting blocks in a vertical plane.
[0009] The control component is located on the side wall of the support and is used to control the opening, closing and operation status of the displacement component and the heat therapy component.
[0010] Preferably, the heating block is a high-emissivity Mg-ZrO2 / graphene composite ceramic block, a temperature sensor is provided inside the heating shell and on the side of the heating block, and a distance sensor is provided on the outer wall of the heating shell.
[0011] Preferably, the inner and outer sides of the heat treatment shell are provided with fixing frames, and the shapes of the two fixing frames are respectively adapted to the temperature sensor and the distance sensor.
[0012] Preferably, one end of the robotic arm is further provided with a driven wheel, a driving wheel, and a motor;
[0013] The number of robotic arms is at least two. Each robotic arm includes a double-sided bar and a limiting bar. Each double-sided bar and the limiting bar has a rotating shaft at both ends. Every two driven wheels correspond to one rotating shaft. Each driving wheel corresponds to two adjacent and coplanar driven wheels. The output shaft of each motor passes through two driving wheels.
[0014] Preferably, the center lines of the two rotating shafts on the same side as the double-sided strip and the limiting strip do not coincide, and the double-sided strip and the limiting strip have the same length.
[0015] Preferably, the side wall of the mounting block is provided with a through hole one corresponding to the rotating shaft and a through hole two corresponding to the motor output shaft.
[0016] Preferably, the control component includes a control panel, and a processor is located on the back of the control panel.
[0017] Preferably, the control panel and the bracket are detachably connected, and the bracket has a hollow internal structure.
[0018] As described above, the modern moxibustion device simulating moxibustion disclosed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This utility model uses graphene and ZrO2 in a certain proportion to obtain a high-emissivity material Mg-ZrO2 with high emissivity in the near, mid, and far infrared bands. 2 / The graphene composite ceramic block, a high-emission material Mg-ZrO2 / graphene composite ceramic block, when heated to the same temperature as the burning temperature of the moxibustion surface, has a peak wavelength of emission spectrum close to that of the burning moxa stick. It can accurately simulate the temperature and emission spectrum during moxibustion. This method of simulating moxibustion avoids the safety hazards caused by open flame operation and the pollution caused by the smoke from burning moxibustion, making it safe and pollution-free.
[0019] Meanwhile, the device incorporates temperature and distance sensors, along with a temperature and distance display screen. It collects data on the optimal temperature and distance for moxibustion sensation based on adjustments to different temperatures and distances, storing this information in the control panel. The device features a built-in intelligent temperature control and distance adjustment mechanism, automatically adjusting the temperature and distance when the measured acupoint temperature exceeds the range, ensuring the acupoint temperature remains within a safe and optimal range for moxibustion sensation. This moxibustion device uses the duty cycle of the control pulse to adjust intensity and frequency, integrating tonifying and reducing techniques to achieve the sparrow-pecking moxibustion method. The control module includes three programs: sparrow-pecking moxibustion, rotary moxibustion, and gentle moxibustion, enabling automated and intelligent moxibustion application.
[0020] Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance.

[0035] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a modern moxibustion device that simulates moxibustion, including: a support 1, a displacement component 2, a heating component 3, and a control component 4. The support 1 rests on the ground, and the displacement component 2 controls the heating component 3 to fall into the proximal end of the acupoint for heating moxibustion on the human body, so that the heating component 3 can perform heating moxibustion on the patient. The control component 4 has a program for heating moxibustion methods stored in it, which can be used in conjunction with the displacement component 2 to realize heating moxibustion treatment of various methods.
[0036] The heating element 3 is located at the working end of the displacement element 2 and includes a heating block 30. By using an electrically heated heating block 30 to replace the traditional burning of mugwort, the safety issues caused by open flames and the environmental pollution caused by smoke are solved. The heating block 30 is covered by a heating shell 31; the heating shell 31 covers the outside of the heating block 30 to prevent burns to the skin.
[0037] The displacement component 2 is located on the top of the support 1 and includes several robotic arms 20 connected in sequence. Adjacent robotic arms 20 are connected by mounting blocks 21. The displacement of the heat therapy component 3 is controlled by the multi-axis robotic arms 20.
[0038] The control component 4 is located on the side wall of the support 1 and is used to control the opening, closing and operation status of the displacement component 2 and the heat therapy component 3.
[0039] In one embodiment, referring to 1-2, the heating block 30 is a high-emissivity Mg-ZrO2 / graphene composite ceramic block obtained by combining graphene and ZrO2 in a certain proportion. This composite ceramic block is placed inside the moxibustion shell 31 and heated to the same temperature as the burning temperature of the moxibustion surface. The peak wavelength of its emission spectrum is close to that of the burning moxa stick, accurately simulating the temperature and emission spectrum during moxibustion. This method of simulating moxibustion avoids the safety hazards of open flame operation and the pollution caused by the smoke from burning moxa, making it safe and pollution-free. A temperature sensor 32 is located inside the moxibustion shell 31 and on the side of the heating block 30 to detect and measure the temperature of the heating block 30 in real time. A distance sensor 33 is located on the outer wall of the moxibustion shell 31 to monitor the distance between the heating block 30 and the human body in real time.
[0040] In one embodiment, referring to 1-2, a fixing bracket 34 is provided on both the inner and outer sides of the heating shell 31. The shapes of the two fixing brackets 34 are adapted to the temperature sensor 32 and the distance sensor 33, respectively. The fixing brackets 34 are used to fix the temperature sensor 32 and the distance sensor 33 on the heating shell 31 to monitor the temperature and distance in real time.
[0041] In one embodiment, please refer to 1 and Figure 3-4 One end of the robotic arm 20 is also equipped with a driven wheel 203, a driving wheel 204, and a motor 205. There are at least two robotic arms 20; the attached drawings of this application use a three-axis robotic arm 20 as an example. Each robotic arm 20 includes double-sided strips 200 and limiting strips 201. Each double-sided strip 200 and limiting strip 201 has a rotating shaft 202 at both ends. Every two driven wheels 204 correspond to one rotating shaft 202, and each driving wheel 204 corresponds to two adjacent and coplanar driven wheels 203. The output shaft of each motor 205 passes through two driving wheels 204. In use, the motor 205 drives the driving wheel 204 to rotate, which in turn drives the two driven wheels 203 to move in the same direction and at the same speed. The driven wheels 203 rotate the double-sided strips 200 and limiting strips 201 via the rotating shafts 202, thus enabling the robotic arm 20 to rotate around the mounting block 21 in the vertical plane, thereby changing the position of the heat therapy component 3.
[0042] In one embodiment, as shown in 3-4, the center lines of the two rotating shafts 202 on the same side of the double-sided strip 200 and the limiting strip 201 do not coincide, and the double-sided strip 200 and the limiting strip 201 have the same length. This arrangement follows the parallelogram principle, ensuring that when the double-sided strip 200 and the limiting strip 201 rotate simultaneously, the angle of the mounting block 21 or the moxibustion shell 31 remains unchanged, thus ensuring that the angle of the moxibustion shell 31 always faces downwards, preventing the moxibustion shell 31 from obstructing the heat source and affecting the therapeutic effect of moxibustion.
[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to 3, the side wall of the mounting block 21 is provided with a through hole one corresponding to the rotating shaft 202 and a through hole two corresponding to the output shaft of the motor 205. The mounting block 21 serves to connect the two robotic arms 20, allowing the robotic arms 20 to rotate around the mounting block 21 in the vertical plane.
[0044] In one embodiment, referring to 5-6, the control component 4 includes a control panel 40, with a processor 41 located on the back of the control panel 40. The control panel 40 is a human-computer interaction display screen. The processor 41 is electrically connected to the heating block 30, temperature sensor 32, distance sensor 33, motor 205, and control panel 40. The processor 41 adjusts the intensity and frequency by changing the duty cycle of the control pulse, integrating tonifying and sedating techniques to achieve sparrow-pecking moxibustion. The processor 41 contains three programs: sparrow-pecking moxibustion, rotary moxibustion, and gentle moxibustion, achieving automated and intelligent moxibustion. The processor 41 also has a built-in intelligent temperature control and distance adjustment device.
[0045] It should be noted that the processor 41 may be 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, etc.
[0046] In one embodiment, referring to 5-6, the control panel 40 and the bracket 1 are detachably connected, and the bracket 1 has a hollow internal structure. The interior of the bracket 1 is used to house excess wiring to avoid affecting aesthetics.
[0047] The specific usage process of this utility model is as follows:
[0048] First, the heating block 30 is activated for preheating. The mechanical arm 20 is then bent by the motor 205 to move the heating block 30 to the patient's acupoint.
[0049] By continuously adjusting and consulting with patients, the optimal location and temperature for moxibustion are determined. This information is recorded by temperature sensor 32 and distance sensor 33 and stored in processor 41. When the measured acupoint temperature exceeds the acceptable range, the processor automatically adjusts the temperature and distance to maintain the acupoint temperature within a safe range that provides the best moxibustion sensation. Depending on the patient's specific condition, one of three programs—sparrow-pecking moxibustion, rotary moxibustion, or gentle moxibustion—is selected to achieve automated and intelligent moxibustion application.
[0050] 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.
