Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxibustion equipment technology, and in particular to a device for scraping ash from moxa sticks. Background Technology

[0002] Moxibustion, also known as moxibustion therapy or moxibustion method, is a treatment method that uses moxa sticks or moxa cones made from mugwort leaves to stimulate acupoints or specific parts of the body with the heat generated by the moxa. By stimulating the activity of Qi in the meridians, it adjusts the disordered physiological and biochemical functions of the body, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases.

[0003] During moxibustion treatment, the moxa stick burns, producing a large amount of ash at its tip. To prevent ash from falling and burning the patient, and to improve the burning efficiency of the moxa stick, it is generally necessary to clean the ash. Current methods for cleaning moxa sticks mostly involve using tools such as knives or scrapers. However, this may lead to the following problems:

[0004] 1. During the scraping process, soot will be scattered in the air and inhaled by medical staff, leading to health problems;

[0005] 2. The efficiency of scraping is not high.

[0006] Therefore, this application proposes a moxa stick ash scraping device to improve the convenience and safety of moxa stick ash scraping. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art mentioned above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a moxa stick ash scraping device to solve the problems of inconvenience and safety hazards in the prior art.

[0008] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides an ash scraping device for moxa sticks, including an ash storage mechanism, an anti-diffusion mechanism at the upper opening of the ash storage mechanism, the ash storage mechanism and the anti-diffusion mechanism being detachably connected, and an ash scraping mechanism being provided inside the ash storage mechanism.

[0009] The anti-diffusion mechanism includes a closed cover, and the axis of the closed cover is provided with an moxa stick insertion hole, which is used to allow an external moxa stick to be inserted into the interior of the ash storage mechanism.

[0010] The ash-scraping mechanism includes an ash-scraping component for scraping away ash from the end of the moxa stick using friction and / or scraping force. The ash-scraping component has a scraping hole at its axis, and the moxa stick insertion hole and the scraping hole are concentrically arranged. The scraping hole is used to cover the outer surface of the outer moxa stick.

[0011] Preferably, the moxa stick scraper has a loose, porous structure with sharp edges along the holes.

[0012] Preferably, the ash storage mechanism includes an ash storage cylinder, the upper opening of which is connected to a closed cover;

[0013] The interior of the ash storage cylinder is equipped with multiple support frames arranged in a circular array around the axis of the ash storage cylinder. The support frames are used to support the ash scraping parts of the moxa stick.

[0014] Preferably, each of the support frames has a scraper support groove at its upper end, and the bottom of the moxa stick scraper overlaps with the top of all the scraper support grooves.

[0015] There is a gap between the bottom of the moxa stick scraper and the bottom of the ash storage cylinder.

[0016] Preferably, each of the scraper support grooves is provided with a scraper limiting post at the bottom, and all scraper limiting posts penetrate into the interior of the moxa stick scraper.

[0017] Preferably, the scraping hole is a conical hole, and the diameter of the upper end of the scraping hole is larger than the diameter of the lower end.

[0018] Preferably, the top of the closed cover is provided with a guide cylinder coaxial with the moxa stick insertion hole;

[0019] The inner diameter of the guide cylinder is a tapered hole that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, and the diameter of the small hole in the guide cylinder is equal to the diameter of the moxa stick insertion hole.

[0020] Preferably, the top of the closed cover is provided with a dust removal auxiliary hole around the moxa stick insertion hole.

[0021] Preferably, a gap is left between the outer surface of all the support frames and the inner wall of the ash storage cylinder.

[0022] Preferably, under normal conditions, the dust removal auxiliary hole is located between the outer surface of the support frame and the inner wall of the ash storage cylinder.

[0023] As described above, the moxa stick ash scraping device of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. This utility model provides an moxa stick insertion hole at the center of the closed cover and a moxa stick scraper inside the ash storage mechanism. When scraping ash, the moxa stick is inserted into the ash storage mechanism through the insertion hole, so that the end of the moxa stick is inserted into the scraper hole. By rotating the moxa stick, the scraper can scrape off the ash at the end of the moxa stick under the action of the rotational friction of the moxa stick, thus improving the convenience and efficiency of scraping ash.

[0025] At the same time, the sealed cover can block a large amount of the smoke from burning moxa ash and moxa sticks, reducing the operator's inhalation of moxa ash and preventing the operator from being burned by moxa smoke.

[0026] 2. This utility model provides ash-cleaning auxiliary holes around the top of the sealed cover. After the moxa stick passes through the ash-scraping component, the end of the moxa stick can be inserted back into the ash-cleaning auxiliary holes to break off the remaining ash, thus improving the completeness of ash scraping.

[0027] 3. This utility model supports the moxa stick scraper by setting multiple support frames inside the ash collection cylinder, and sets scraper support grooves on the support frames so that the bottom of the moxa stick scraper is suspended. Thus, during the scraping process, the moxa ash can fall into the bottom of the ash collection cylinder for collection, avoiding a large amount of moxa ash adhering to the inside of the moxa stick scraper, and improving the convenience of cleaning moxa ash.

[0028] Meanwhile, a limiting post for the scraper is set on the scraper support groove, and the limiting post for the scraper penetrates into the interior of the moxa stick scraper to limit the scraper and prevent the scraper from rotating during the cleaning process, thus preventing the scraper from failing to achieve the scraping effect.

[0029] Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value. Attached Figure Description

[0039] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 5 It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., illustrated in the accompanying drawings are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, without affecting the effectiveness and purpose of this invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this invention. Furthermore, the terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of this invention.

[0041] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a moxa stick ash scraping device, including an ash storage mechanism 1 for storing moxa ash. An anti-diffusion mechanism 2 is provided at the upper opening of the ash storage mechanism 1 to seal the opening and prevent the moxa ash from spreading outwards during the scraping process, thus improving safety and environmental friendliness. The ash storage mechanism 1 and the anti-diffusion mechanism 2 are detachably connected. After scraping, the moxa ash inside the ash storage mechanism 1 can be cleaned by disassembling the anti-diffusion mechanism 2, improving the convenience of cleaning. An ash scraping mechanism 3 is provided inside the ash storage mechanism 1. After the moxa stick is inserted into the ash storage mechanism 1, it comes into contact with the ash scraping mechanism 3. When the moxa stick rotates, the ash at the end of the moxa stick can be scraped off through friction and scraping force by the ash scraping mechanism 3.

[0042] Specifically, the anti-diffusion mechanism 2 includes a sealing cover 21, which is used to seal the opening of the ash storage mechanism 1 to reduce the diffusion of ash and smoke. The sealing cover 21 has an moxa stick insertion hole 22 at its axis, which is used to allow an external moxa stick to be inserted into the interior of the ash storage mechanism 1, so that the moxa stick can come into contact with the ash scraping mechanism 3.

[0043] The ash-scraping mechanism 3 includes an ash-scraping component 31, which has a loose, porous structure with sharp edges along the holes. The ash-scraping component 31 uses friction and / or scraping force to scrape away the ash from the end of the moxa stick. Its specific structure includes a loose structure like a steel wool pad and a set of blades with a gap in the middle and a beveled edge. An ash-scraping hole 32 is located at the axis of the ash-scraping component 31, and the moxa stick insertion hole 22 and the ash-scraping hole 32 are concentrically arranged. When the moxa stick is inserted into the ash-collecting mechanism 1 through the moxa stick insertion hole 22, the moxa stick directly inserts into the ash-scraping hole 32. The ash-scraping hole 32 covers the outer surface of the moxa stick. When the moxa stick is rotated, the friction between the moxa stick and the ash-scraping component 31 scrapes away the ash from the end of the moxa stick, achieving the ash-scraping effect.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the ash storage mechanism 1 of this utility model includes an ash storage cylinder 11, the upper part of which is provided with an opening, and the outer surface of the opening is provided with external threads. The upper opening of the ash storage cylinder 11 is threadedly connected to the sealing cover 21.

[0045] The interior of the ash storage cylinder 11 is provided with multiple support frames 12 arranged in a circular array around the axis of the ash storage cylinder 11. The support frames 12 are used to support the moxa stick scraper 31, and the moxa stick scraper 31 can be detached from the support frames 12.

[0046] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, each support frame 12 of this invention has a scraper support groove 13 at its upper end. The bottom of the moxa stick scraper 31 overlaps with the top of all the scraper support grooves 13. This leaves a gap between the bottom of the moxa stick scraper 31 and the bottom of the ash storage cylinder 11. This gap is used to store moxa ash, thereby separating the moxa ash from the moxa stick scraper 31 to facilitate cleaning the moxa ash in the ash storage cylinder 11.

[0047] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown in some embodiments, each scraper support groove 13 of this invention is provided with a scraper limiting post 14 at its bottom. All scraper limiting posts 14 penetrate into the interior of the moxa stick scraper 31, thereby limiting the moxa stick scraper 31 through the scraper limiting posts 14. This prevents the moxa stick scraper 31 from rotating with the moxa stick when scraping ash, thus avoiding the inability to achieve the desired scraping effect.

[0048] The scraping hole 32 is a conical hole, with the diameter at the upper end being larger than the diameter at the lower end. This structure allows it to accommodate moxa sticks of different diameters. Furthermore, the progressively smaller inner diameter of the scraping hole 32 enables the layer-by-layer removal of moxa ash.

[0049] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the sealing cover 21 of this invention is provided with a guide cylinder 23 coaxial with the moxa stick insertion hole 22. The inner diameter of the guide cylinder 23 is a tapered hole that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, and the smaller hole of the guide cylinder 23 has the same diameter as the moxa stick insertion hole 22. The larger diameter end is used to facilitate the insertion of the moxa stick, while the smaller diameter is used to guide the moxa stick. When inserting the moxa stick, as the inner diameter of the guide cylinder 23 gradually decreases, the moxa stick is guided to be inserted vertically into the moxa stick insertion hole 22, thereby improving the convenience of inserting the moxa stick when cleaning ash.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the closed cover 21 of this invention has a cleaning auxiliary hole 24 around the moxa stick insertion hole 22. After the moxa stick scraper 31 scrapes the end of the moxa stick, it may not be able to completely remove the moxa ash from the end of the moxa stick. In this case, the end of the moxa stick can be inserted into the cleaning auxiliary hole 24 to break off the remaining moxa ash, thereby completely removing it from the moxa ash.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a gap is left between the outer surface of all support frames 12 and the inner wall of the ash collection cylinder 11. The burning moxa stick carries heat, which is conducted to the metal moxa stick scraper 31 during the ash scraping process. At this time, the gap between the moxa stick scraper 31 and the ash collection cylinder 11 is used to prevent the heat from the moxa stick scraper 31 from being conducted to the outer surface of the ash collection cylinder 11.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, in the present invention, the ash-cleaning auxiliary hole 24 is located between the outer surface of the support frame 12 and the inner wall of the ash-collecting cylinder 11. When the end of the moxa stick is cleaned through the ash-cleaning auxiliary hole 24, the broken moxa ash will fall directly into the bottom of the ash-collecting cylinder 11, so as to avoid the moxa ash from being on top of the moxa stick scraper 31 and filling the moxa stick scraper 31, making it difficult to clean.

[0053] In summary, the moxa stick scraping device of this utility model, by setting a moxa stick insertion hole 22 at the center of the closed cover 21 and setting a moxa stick scraping component 31 inside the ash storage mechanism 1, allows the moxa stick to be inserted into the ash storage mechanism 1 through the moxa stick insertion hole 22 during scraping, so that the end of the moxa stick is inserted into the scraping hole 32. By rotating the moxa stick, the moxa stick scraping component 31 can scrape off the ash at the end of the moxa stick under the action of the rotational friction of the moxa stick, thus improving the convenience and efficiency of moxa stick scraping.

[0054] At the same time, the sealing cover 21 can block a large amount of the smoke from burning moxa ash and moxa sticks, reducing the operator's inhalation of moxa ash and preventing the operator from being irritated by moxa smoke.

[0055] This invention provides a dust removal auxiliary hole 24 around the top of the closed cover 21. After the moxa stick passes through the moxa stick scraping part 31, the end of the moxa stick can be inserted back into the dust removal auxiliary hole 24 to break off the remaining moxa ash, thus improving the completeness of the moxa stick scraping.

[0056] This invention provides multiple support frames 12 inside the ash collection cylinder 11 to support the moxa stick scraper 31, and provides scraper support grooves 13 on the support frames 12 to suspend the bottom of the moxa stick scraper 31. As a result, during the scraping process, the moxa ash can fall into the bottom of the ash collection cylinder 11 for collection, avoiding a large amount of moxa ash adhering to the inside of the moxa stick scraper 31 and improving the convenience of cleaning the moxa ash.

[0057] Meanwhile, a scraper limiting post 14 is set on the scraper support groove 13, and the scraper limiting post 14 penetrates into the interior of the moxa stick scraper 31 to limit the moxa stick scraper 31, so as to prevent the moxa stick from rotating during the cleaning process, causing the moxa stick scraper 31 to rotate and thus failing to achieve the scraping effect.

[0058] Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.

[0059] 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.
