Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of physiotherapy equipment technology, specifically to a moxibustion auxiliary device. Background Technology

[0002] Moxibustion, as one of the traditional external therapies in Chinese medicine, is widely used in areas such as warming the meridians and dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and health preservation. In current moxibustion practices, moxa sticks or cones are typically placed inside a moxibustion device and burned, acting on acupoints through heat and medicinal components.

[0003] However, most existing moxibustion devices use simple supports or cylinders to directly hold the moxa sticks, lacking a dynamic support structure for the moxa sticks. During operation, the distance between the moxa stick and the skin is often adjusted manually by adjusting the height of the cylinder or by changing to different sizes of moxibustion boxes. However, during the burning process, the distance between the burning end and the skin changes in real time, which still affects the uniformity of heat transfer.

[0004] In addition, the ash produced after the moxa sticks are burned is not effectively collected and is easily scattered by the wind or falls directly onto the skin, increasing the risk of burns.

[0005] Therefore, a moxibustion auxiliary device is proposed to address the current shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the problems of the prior art, this utility model provides a moxibustion auxiliary device.

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned technology and provide a moxibustion auxiliary device.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is a moxibustion auxiliary device, including a moxibustion cylinder, an adjusting rod, and a mounting part;

[0009] The moxibustion cylinder includes a cylinder body and a cover body threadedly connected to the top of the cylinder body, and the adjusting rod is threadedly connected to the center of the cover body.

[0010] The mounting part is coaxially disposed inside the cylinder. The mounting part includes a support frame, a sliding rod, and a pin seat connected to the bottom end of the adjusting rod. The sliding rod passes through the support frame and is slidably connected to the adjusting rod. The pin seat is connected to the bottom end of the sliding rod. A spring is sleeved on the sliding rod, and its two ends abut against the support frame and the pin seat respectively. A conical limiting seat is provided at the bottom of the support frame, and an annular ash storage groove is provided on the outer side of the bottom of the conical limiting seat.

[0011] It also includes an annular buffer air cushion, which is connected to the bottom end of the cylinder.

[0012] As an improvement, the moxibustion tube has a hollow cylindrical structure and an open bottom.

[0013] As an improvement, the adjusting rod is coaxially arranged with the cover and its bottom end extends into the cylinder, and a sliding hole is coaxially provided inside the adjusting rod.

[0014] As an improvement, the support frame has a column-shaped frame structure, the slide rod is located inside the support frame, and its upper end passes through the upper end of the support frame and extends into the slide hole of the adjusting rod. The upper end of the slide rod is provided with a slider that cooperates with the slide hole.

[0015] As an improvement, the conical limiting seat and the pin seat are coaxially arranged.

[0016] As an improvement, the bottom sidewall of the cylinder is folded outward to form a horizontal mounting base, and the annular buffer air cushion is fixedly connected to the mounting base.

[0017] As an improvement, a transparent observation window is provided on one side wall of the cylinder along its height direction.

[0018] As an improvement, the annular cushioning air cushion is an inflatable silicone airbag with anti-slip texture on its bottom surface.

[0019] As an improvement, a filter screen is also included, which is disposed inside the cylinder near its bottom end.

[0020] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0021] 1. Through the threaded connection structure between the adjusting rod and the cover, and the guide design of the sliding rod, the axial displacement adjustment of the mounting part within the cylinder is achieved, allowing for flexible control of the distance between the burning end of the moxa stick and the skin. This structure employs a mechanical linkage method, combined with the cooperation of the sliding hole and the slider, ensuring a stable and linear adjustment process. This improves the controllability and consistency of heat intensity during moxibustion, while also enabling personalized adjustment of heat intensity to adapt to different heat tolerance requirements and stages of moxibustion.

[0022] 2. The spring-driven needle holder and the conical limiting seat work together to continuously press down on the moxa stick and squeeze the ash produced by combustion, causing it to slide down the side wall of the conical limiting seat into the annular ash collection groove. This achieves automatic ash collection without manual intervention, avoiding the risk of uneven combustion or burns caused by ash accumulation in traditional moxibustion devices. This significantly improves safety and ease of operation. At the same time, it ensures that the burning end of the moxa stick is always in close contact with the top of the conical limiting seat, maintaining a constant combustion position and significantly improving the continuous stability of heat and medicinal output.

[0023] 3. The annular ash collection tank collects fallen mugwort ash, and combined with the filter screen at the bottom of the cylinder, it effectively prevents ash particles and unburned debris from falling onto the skin through the opening, reducing the risk of burns and improving safety.

[0024] 4. The ring-shaped cushioning air cushion uses an inflatable air bladder to regulate air pressure, providing elastic support and dispersing the pressure of the cylinder edge on the skin. Its anti-slip textured bottom conforms to the skin surface, and combined with the fixing straps on both sides, it enhances the stability of the device, making it especially suitable for uneven areas such as joints. Moreover, the inflation design allows users to adjust the degree of inflation of the air cushion according to their needs, achieving dynamic adaptation of softness, hardness, and height, thus solving the problem of traditional hard moxibustion devices pressing on the skin.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0042] As shown in the accompanying drawings, a moxibustion auxiliary device includes a moxibustion cylinder 1, an adjusting rod 2, and a mounting part 3.

[0043] The moxibustion tube 1 includes a tube body 101 and a cover 102 threadedly connected to the top of the tube body 101. The tube body 101 of the moxibustion tube 1 is a hollow cylindrical structure with an open bottom. The tube body 101 constitutes the main outer shell of the device and is used to accommodate the moxa stick and the mounting part 3. The open bottom of the tube body 101 is used to align with the acupoint and release heat and medicinal power.

[0044] The adjusting rod 2 is threaded to the center of the cover 102. The cover 102 is used to close the top of the cylinder 101 and serves as the mounting base for the adjusting rod 2.

[0045] Specifically, the adjusting rod 2 is coaxially arranged with the cover 102 and its bottom end extends into the cylinder 101. By rotating the adjusting rod 2, the position of the mounting part 3 inside the cylinder 101 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the distance between the burning end of the moxa stick and the skin (the bottom opening of the cylinder 101).

[0046] The adjusting rod 2 has a sliding hole 201 that runs coaxially through it, providing guidance and sliding space for the sliding rod 302 in the mounting part 3.

[0047] The mounting part 3 is coaxially disposed inside the cylinder 101. The mounting part 3 includes a support frame 301 connected to the bottom end of the adjusting rod 2, a sliding rod 302, and a pin seat 303. The support frame 301 has a column-shaped frame structure, and its internal space is used for the installation of the moxa stick. The sliding rod 302 passes through the support frame 301 and is slidably connected to the adjusting rod 2. The sliding rod 302 is located inside the support frame 301, and its upper end passes through the upper end of the support frame 301 and extends into the sliding hole 201 of the adjusting rod 2. The upper end of the sliding rod 302 is provided with a slider 307 that cooperates with the sliding hole 201.

[0048] The needle holder 303 is connected to the bottom end of the slide rod 302 for fixed connection with the upper end of the moxa stick. The slide rod 302 is fitted with springs 304 at both ends that abut against the support frame 301 and the needle holder 303 respectively, providing a downward tendency for the needle holder 303 to move.

[0049] The bottom of the support frame 301 is provided with a conical limiting seat 305. The conical limiting seat 305 is coaxially arranged with the needle seat 303. The conical limiting seat 305 is connected to the lower end of the moxa stick. Through the cooperation of the needle seat 303 and the conical limiting seat 305, the moxa stick can be fixed in the support frame 301.

[0050] When in use, insert the upper end of the lit moxa stick into the needle holder 303. Under the action of the spring 304, the needle holder 303 and the moxa stick are pushed downward, so that the bottom end of the moxa stick is connected to the conical limiting seat 305. As the moxa stick burns, the burning part at the bottom turns into moxa ash. Under the action of the spring 304, the moxa ash is squeezed off by the conical limiting seat 305 and slides down the side wall of the conical limiting seat 305, so that the burning position of the moxa stick is always kept at the top of the conical limiting seat 305, thereby ensuring that the moxibustion effect is always the same.

[0051] The conical limiting seat 305 has an annular ash storage trough 306 on the outer side of its bottom for collecting the ash that falls off during combustion.

[0052] It also includes a filter screen 7. In this embodiment, the filter screen 7 has a mesh size of 200-300 mesh. The filter screen 7 is located inside the cylinder 101 near its bottom end, allowing heat and smoke to pass through, while further preventing mugwort ash particles or incompletely burned debris from falling directly onto the skin through the bottom opening, thus improving safety and comfort.

[0053] It also includes an annular buffer air cushion 4, which is connected to the bottom end of the cylinder 101. The bottom side wall of the cylinder 101 is folded outward to form a horizontal mounting base 5, which provides a mounting base for the annular buffer air cushion 4. The annular buffer air cushion 4 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 5. The annular buffer air cushion 4 is an inflatable silicone airbag with anti-slip texture on its bottom surface.

[0054] In practice, the annular cushioning air cushion 4 is connected to an inflatable airbag (not shown in the figure) via a hose. The inflatable airbag can inflate the annular cushioning air cushion 4, causing it to expand and improving the user's comfort. Fixing straps (not shown in the figure) are provided on both sides of the annular cushioning air cushion 4. In this embodiment, the fixing straps are tie straps.

[0055] When in use, the ring-shaped cushioning air cushion 4 provides soft and elastic cushioning after inflation, improving wearing comfort and reducing the pressure on the skin from the edge of the hard cylinder 101. Its bottom anti-slip texture increases friction with the skin, ensuring that the device is stably placed on the acupoint.

[0056] Meanwhile, the air pressure inside the air cushion can be adjusted by inflating the airbag to suit the different needs of users for softness, firmness and height.

[0057] During implementation, a transparent observation window 6 is provided on one side wall of the cylinder 101 along its height direction, allowing the user to observe the burning of the moxa stick inside the cylinder 101 without opening the cover 102, so as to facilitate timely adjustment or cleaning.

[0058] In specific implementation of this utility model:

[0059] 1) Initial installation and ignition:

[0060] Open the cover 102.

[0061] Insert the upper end of the lit moxa stick into and fix it on the needle holder 303, and place the lit end of the moxa stick on the conical limiting seat 305 at the bottom of the support frame 301.

[0062] Under the downward elastic force of the spring 304, the needle holder 303 drives the moxa stick to move downward, so that the lit end of the moxa stick is firmly against the top of the conical limiting seat 305. At this time, the moxa stick is firmly clamped between the needle holder 303 and the conical limiting seat 305.

[0063] Close the cover 102 and ensure that it is sealed to the top thread of the cylinder 101.

[0064] 2) Distance adjustment:

[0065] When the user rotates adjustment lever 2:

[0066] Since the adjusting rod 2 is threadedly connected to the cover 102, the adjusting rod 2 can move axially (up and down) relative to the cover 102 (i.e. relative to the cylinder 101). The movement of the adjusting rod 2 causes the support frame 301 connected to its bottom end to move up and down together.

[0067] The movement of the support frame 301 causes the entire mounting part 3 to move up and down synchronously within the cylinder 101.

[0068] The slider 307 on the slide bar 302 slides within the slide hole 201 of the adjusting rod 2, ensuring the stability and straightness of the movement of the mounting part 3.

[0069] By rotating the adjusting rod 2, the mounting part 3 and the moxa stick can be raised and lowered, thereby adjusting the distance between the burning end of the moxa stick and the bottom opening (i.e., the skin) of the cylinder 101, and allowing the user to control the heat intensity according to their individual heat tolerance, acupoint needs, or moxibustion stage.

[0070] 3) Combustion and automatic ash collection:

[0071] The moxa stick starts burning downwards from the end near the conical limiting seat 305. As the burning progresses, the burning part at the bottom of the moxa stick (near the end of the conical limiting seat 305) gradually carbonizes and turns into moxa ash.

[0072] Spring 304 continuously provides downward elastic force, pushing the insert base 303 and the unburned moxa stick portion downwards. The downward-moving moxa stick will squeeze the moxa ash that has formed at the bottom. Since the conical limiting seat 305 is a fixed conical structure, its squeezing action will push the moxa ash off from the top edge of the conical limiting seat 305.

[0073] The dislodged mugwort ash slides down the side wall of the conical limiting seat 305 and eventually falls into the annular ash storage trough 306 located on the outer side of the bottom of the conical limiting seat 305.

[0074] The downward elastic force of the spring 304 continuously presses down and squeezes the moxa stick, ensuring that the burning position (burning end) of the moxa stick is always kept at the top of the conical limiting seat 305. This ensures that the intensity of heat and medicinal power acting on the acupoint is relatively stable throughout the moxibustion process, improving the consistency and controllability of the moxibustion effect.

[0075] 4) Heat transfer and filtration of mugwort ash

[0076] The heat and medicinal properties (moxa smoke) generated by the burning moxa stick are released through the opening at the bottom of the cylinder 101 and act on the skin placed on the acupoint.

[0077] A filter screen 7 is installed inside the cylinder 101 near the bottom opening. The filter screen 7 allows heat and moxa smoke to reach the skin, but at the same time it can further prevent moxa ash particles, unburned debris or ash that accidentally overflows from the annular ash collection tank 306 from falling directly onto the skin, which significantly improves the safety and comfort of use and avoids burns or discomfort.

[0078] 5) Comfortable fit and secure fixation:

[0079] The bottom side wall of the cylinder 101 is folded outward to form a horizontal mounting base 5. The annular buffer air cushion 4 is fixedly installed on the mounting base 5, and its bottom surface (the surface in contact with the skin) is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0080] By squeezing the air bladder, air is inflated into the annular cushioning air cushion 4, causing it to expand. The expanded air cushion provides a soft, elastic, and adjustable cushioning layer. When placed on the skin, it avoids the hard edge of the tube 101 directly pressing on the skin, greatly improving wearing comfort.

[0081] Meanwhile, the anti-slip texture on the bottom of the ring-shaped cushioning air cushion 4 increases friction with the skin, helping the device to be placed stably on the target acupoint and preventing it from slipping.

[0082] Furthermore, by controlling the inflation volume, the firmness and thickness (height) of the annular cushioning air cushion 4 can be adjusted to suit the different needs of users regarding pressure sensation and body surface curves (such as joints). The fixing straps on both sides of the annular cushioning air cushion 4 (not shown) further stabilize the device at the user's moxibustion site.

[0083] 6) Status monitoring:

[0084] A transparent observation window 6 is provided on one side wall of the cylinder 101 along the height direction. Users can directly observe the burning progress (remaining length), ash accumulation (amount of ash in the annular ash storage tank 306), and burning status (whether it is extinguished or needs adjustment) of the moxa stick inside the cylinder 101 in real time through the transparent observation window 6 without opening the cover 102, so as to facilitate timely adjustment or cleaning.

[0085] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
