Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biological experimental equipment, and in particular to a moxibustion device. Background Technology

[0002] When researchers explore the therapeutic effects of moxibustion on various diseases, they typically use small animals as experimental subjects to create pathological models. In these techniques, researchers usually perform moxibustion on the small animals by hand. However, hand-held operation is inconvenient, and the animals may cause stress to humans, potentially leading to inaccurate experimental data. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a moxibustion device to solve the problem of inconvenience in the operation of handheld moxibustion in small animal experiments using moxa sticks.

[0004] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides a moxibustion device, comprising at least:

[0005] The outer shell defines a moxibustion chamber, and the bottom of the outer shell is provided with a moxibustion hole that communicates with the moxibustion chamber;

[0006] A fixing member is disposed inside the moxibustion cavity. The fixing member has a fixing hole, and a clamping portion that gradually tapers radially toward the moxibustion hole is provided around the fixing hole. The clamping portion includes a plurality of clamping claws, and one end of the clamping claws near the moxibustion hole is adapted to extend radially toward the moxibustion hole to clamp the moxa stick.

[0007] An adhesive cloth is provided at the bottom of the outer shell, and a hole is provided thereon that communicates with the moxibustion hole.

[0008] During moxibustion, a small hole is made at one end of the moxa stick as a smoke outlet. The other end of the moxa stick is lit, and the smoke flows out through the outlet. Moxibustion is achieved by directing the smoke towards the area to be treated. In this design, an adhesive cloth is used to secure the moxibustion device to the small animal, ensuring the smoke outlet faces the treatment area. The moxa stick is placed in the moxibustion chamber using a fixing device and vents through the smoke outlet. During moxibustion, the distance between the smoke outlet of the moxa stick and the animal's skin is crucial; too close a distance can cause burns, while too far a distance may affect the effectiveness of the treatment. This design uses a fixing device to secure the moxa stick, allowing adjustment of the distance between the smoke outlet and the skin. Specifically, the fixing device has a fixing hole adapted to the moxa stick and clamps it in place. In use, a small hole is made at one end of the moxa stick, and the end with the hole is inserted through the fixing hole on the side facing away from the clamp. During insertion, the clamping claws gradually expand under the action of the moxa stick, thus securing it in place. The distance between the smoke outlet and the skin can be controlled by adjusting the insertion depth of the moxa stick. After the moxa stick is secured, light the other end. As the moxa stick burns, the resulting smoke will flow out through the small hole and act on the animal's moxibustion site via the moxibustion port.

[0009] Optionally, the outer shell includes: a cover, a fumigation cylinder, and a base. The cover and the base are detachably disposed at the two open ends of the fumigation cylinder. The fumigation hole is located on the base. The bottom surface of the base is bonded to the adhesive cloth, which is a double-sided adhesive cloth.

[0010] Optionally, the fastener has a first sidewall that fits against the inner wall of the body, and a second sidewall that extends radially around the fixing hole toward the base, the bottom of the first sidewall being connected to the bottom of the second sidewall to define a dust collection groove.

[0011] To prevent unburned moxa ash from falling into the moxibustion holes and causing burns to small animals, and to prevent moxa ash from clogging the holes, this design incorporates an ash collection groove in the fixing component. The ash produced by the burning moxa stick will fall onto the second side wall and slide to the bottom of the ash collection groove.

[0012] Optionally, the top of the second sidewall has a snap-fit ​​portion protruding toward the sidewall of the smoking cylinder, and the top of the smoking cylinder has a snap-fit ​​groove, which, together with the cover, defines a receiving space to accommodate the snap-fit ​​portion.

[0013] In this design, the locking part is secured in the slot by the cover, thus fixing the position of the fixing component. During use, the moxa stick can be pre-fixed in the fixing component, lit, and then the fixing component is locked into the incense cylinder, increasing ease of operation.

[0014] Optionally, the cover has vents.

[0015] Optionally, the side wall of the fumigation cylinder has a smoke exhaust port, which is vertically located between the fixing member and the base. An adjusting member is slidably connected inside the smoke exhaust port, and the adjusting member is configured to adjust the ventilation area of ​​the smoke exhaust port by moving it.

[0016] This design allows the moxa sticks to burn smoothly by incorporating ventilation openings in the cover. A smoke exhaust vent allows for the removal of moxa smoke. The ventilation area of ​​the exhaust vent can be adjusted by moving an adjustable component, thereby controlling the concentration of moxa smoke.

[0017] Optionally, the fastener is made of spring steel.

[0018] As described above, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: In this application, the adhesive cloth is used to fix the moxibustion device to the small animal so that the moxibustion hole faces the moxibustion position. The moxa stick is placed in the moxibustion chamber by the fixing member and is used for moxibustion through the moxibustion hole. This application eliminates the need for manual holding of the moxa stick for moxibustion, making the operation simple and avoiding inaccurate experimental data due to stress on the small animal. In addition, in this application, the fixing member has a fixing hole adapted to the moxa stick and clamps and fixes the moxa stick by the clamping part. In use, a small hole is made at one end of the moxa stick, and the end with the small hole is inserted through the fixing hole on the side away from the clamping part. During insertion, the clamping claws gradually expand and open under the action of the moxa stick, thereby clamping and fixing the moxa stick. By controlling the insertion depth of the moxa stick, the distance between the smoke outlet and the skin can be controlled, thereby avoiding burns to the small animal due to excessively close distance or affecting the moxibustion effect due to excessively far distance.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] 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.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 6 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 disclosed technical content. Furthermore, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity and 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.

[0028] This embodiment describes a moxibustion device, referencing... Figures 1 to 3 The moxibustion device in this embodiment includes: a housing; a moxibustion chamber defined within the housing; and a moxibustion hole 31 communicating with the moxibustion chamber at the bottom of the housing. An adhesive cloth 5, which is a double-sided adhesive cloth 5, is provided at the bottom of the housing. The double-sided adhesive cloth 5 has holes communicating with the moxibustion hole 31. The moxibustion device is fixed to the small animal by adhering the double-sided adhesive cloth 5 to it.

[0029] refer to Figure 2Furthermore, during the moxibustion process, a small hole is made at one end of the moxa stick 6 as a smoke outlet. The other end of the moxa stick 6 is lit, and the smoke flows out through the smoke outlet. Moxibustion is achieved by directing the flowing smoke towards the desired location. In this embodiment, the moxa stick 6 is fixed by a fixing member 4, which is located inside the moxibustion cavity. The fixing member 4 has a fixing hole, and around the fixing hole is a clamping portion 41 that radially tapers towards the moxibustion hole 31. The clamping portion 41 includes multiple clamping claws. The fixing member 4 is made of spring steel, which has good elasticity. When the moxa stick 6 is inserted into the clamping portion 41, the end of the clamping claws near the moxibustion hole 31 is adapted to expand radially towards the moxibustion hole 31 to clamp the moxa stick 6. In this embodiment, the moxa stick 6 is clamped and fixed by the clamping portion 41. In use, a small hole is made at one end of the moxa stick 6, and the end with the small hole is inserted through the fixing hole on the side away from the clamping portion 41. During insertion, the clamping claws gradually expand under the action of the moxa stick 6, thereby clamping and fixing the moxa stick 6. The distance between the smoke outlet and the skin can be controlled by controlling the insertion depth of the moxa stick 6. This avoids burning the small animal due to excessive distance or affecting the moxibustion effect due to excessive distance. After the moxa stick 6 is fixed, the other end of the moxa stick 6 is lit. At this time, as the moxa stick 6 burns, the generated moxa smoke will flow out from the small hole and act on the moxibustion position of the small animal through the moxibustion hole 31.

[0030] In some embodiments, the outer casing includes a cover 1, a fumigation cylinder 2, and a base 3. The cover 1 and the base 3 are detachably disposed at the two open ends of the fumigation cylinder 2, specifically by means of snap-fit ​​connection or threaded connection. The cover 1 has a vent 11 at its top to allow the moxa stick 6 to burn smoothly. The moxibustion hole 31 is located on the base 3, and an adhesive cloth 5 is bonded to the bottom surface of the base 3.

[0031] To prevent unburned moxa ash from falling into the moxibustion hole 31 and causing burns to small animals, and to prevent moxa ash from clogging the moxibustion hole 31, in this embodiment, the fixing member 4 has a first sidewall 42 that fits against the inner wall of the main body, and a second sidewall 43 that surrounds the fixing hole and gradually expands radially towards the base 3. The bottom of the first sidewall 42 is connected to the bottom of the second sidewall 43 to define an ash collection groove. The moxa ash produced by the burning moxa stick 6 will fall onto the second sidewall 43 and slide to the bottom of the ash collection groove.

[0032] refer to Figure 4 Furthermore, the second sidewall 43 has a latching portion 44 protruding towards the sidewall of the incense cylinder 2 at its top. The top of the incense cylinder 2 has a latching groove 21, which, together with the cover 1, defines an accommodating space for latching the latching portion 44. The latching portion 44 is latched into the latching groove 21 by the cover 1, thus fixing the position of the fixing member 4. In use, the moxa stick 6 can be pre-fixed in the fixing member 4, lit, and then the fixing member 4 is latched into the incense cylinder 2, increasing operational convenience.

[0033] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The fumigation cylinder 2 has a smoke exhaust port 22 on its side wall. The smoke exhaust port 22 is vertically located between the fixing member 4 and the base 3. An adjusting member 23 is slidably connected inside the smoke exhaust port 22. The adjusting member 23 is configured to adjust the ventilation area of ​​the smoke exhaust port 22 by moving it. By setting the smoke exhaust port 22, the moxa smoke can be discharged. By moving the adjusting member 23, the ventilation area of ​​the smoke exhaust port 22 can be adjusted, thereby controlling the concentration of moxa smoke.

[0034] In summary, this utility model effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.
