Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion diagnosis and treatment, and in particular to a paper-plastic moxibustion device. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional Chinese medicine, moxibustion, a time-honored and widely used treatment method, is highly trusted and respected for its effects of warming and unblocking meridians, regulating qi and blood, and dispelling cold and relieving pain. However, existing moxibustion devices, especially the base, have revealed many technical problems in practical applications, seriously hindering their further promotion and improvement of the user experience.

[0003] First, traditional moxibustion devices have significant shortcomings in their anti-scalding design, with poor heat insulation at the bottom. During moxibustion, the high temperature generated by the burning moxa stick can easily transfer heat to the skin through the base. Improper operation or prolonged use can easily lead to burns, causing pain and injury. Second, some moxibustion devices with plastic bases pose a potential risk of melting in high-temperature environments. Once the plastic base melts, it will not only damage the moxibustion device itself but may also come into direct contact with the skin, causing serious burns.

[0004] More seriously, in extreme cases, it could even cause a fire, posing a significant threat to the lives and property of users. To reduce the risk of melting at high temperatures, some plastic bases incorporate flame-retardant materials. However, these flame-retardant materials may release harmful substances, such as volatile organic compounds and heavy metals, under high-temperature conditions. These harmful substances are inhaled along with the smoke from the moxa sticks, and long-term accumulation will cause significant damage to human health, increasing the risk of users developing respiratory and neurological diseases. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to disclose a paper-plastic moxibustion device that solves the problems in the prior art regarding safety hazards, stability of use, cleaning and maintenance, ease of operation, and environmental protection.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses a paper-plastic moxibustion device, comprising a base body integrally formed by hot pressing natural plant fiber pulp. The base body is hollow inside and includes, from top to bottom: a top, with a first through hole in the center of the top; a support portion for supporting the top; and an adhesive portion having an adhesive surface for adhering to the human body surface. A columnar structure extends from the top along the axial direction of the first through hole towards the adhesive portion. A second through hole is provided at the end of the columnar structure away from the first through hole. The diameter of the second through hole is smaller than that of the first through hole, allowing the moxa stick to pass through the first through hole and engage with the second through hole.

[0007] By adopting the above-mentioned solution, the base of the paper-plastic moxibustion device of this application is made of natural plant fiber pulp and manufactured using modern paper-plastic thermoforming technology. This material has certain temperature resistance, effectively avoiding the melting problem that may occur with plastic bases in high-temperature environments, thus eliminating the risk of burns and fires caused by melting bases. The pulp material does not release harmful substances at high temperatures, making it safer and more environmentally friendly than plastic bases with added flame-retardant materials. When using the paper-plastic moxibustion device of this application for moxibustion treatment, users do not need to worry about inhaling harmful substances, effectively protecting human health. The adhesive part has an adhesive surface for attaching to the human body. This design allows the moxibustion device to adhere firmly to the skin, greatly improving stability during use and effectively solving the problem of traditional moxibustion devices easily slipping off. The overall design of the paper-plastic moxibustion device of this application is compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry and store.

[0008] Furthermore, the length of the columnar structure is less than the height of the support portion, so that there is a height difference between the moxa stick located in the columnar structure and the human body surface.

[0009] By employing the above-mentioned method, the moxa stick generates a high temperature during combustion. If the moxa stick is too close to the skin, even slight carelessness during operation or when the user moves can easily cause direct skin contact with the high-temperature moxa stick or its sparks, resulting in burns. The height difference created by the length of the columnar structure being less than the height of the support effectively isolates the moxa stick from the skin, greatly reducing the possibility of burns and ensuring safety during use. This results in the most suitable temperature felt on the adhesive surface being 48-54℃, at which point a continuous heat sensation can last for more than 5 minutes, providing a noticeable moxibustion experience.

[0010] Furthermore, a ventilation hole is provided between the fitting part and the supporting part.

[0011] By adopting the above method, sufficient oxygen is required for the combustion of moxa sticks. The ventilation holes form air convection channels, ensuring a continuous supply of oxygen to the combustion area and preventing incomplete combustion due to oxygen deficiency. Air circulation can regulate the combustion rate, prevent local overheating or sudden temperature drops, maintain a suitable intensity of heat stimulation, and enhance the penetration effect of moxibustion on acupoints.

[0012] Furthermore, the supporting portion is provided with semi-circular bulges at equal intervals along its circumference, and the vent holes are located at the intersection between the semi-circular bulges and the fitting portion.

[0013] By adopting the above scheme, the support section achieves a height difference between the flame head and the bottom hole through structural optimization. Utilizing the principle of hot air rising and cold air sinking, natural convection is created within the paper holder's inner cavity. The ventilation hole, located at the intersection of the bulges, guides external cold air in through the bottom hole, providing a continuous supply of oxygen to the moxa stick's flame head and preventing incomplete combustion due to oxygen deficiency. As the moxa smoke expands and rises during combustion, the sealed nature of the paper holder's inner cavity causes some of the smoke to sink after encountering coolness at the top, creating a "backflow" effect. This backflow principle allows the moxa smoke to carry heat downwards, directly acting on acupoints or painful areas. The particles in the smoke stimulate skin receptors, enhancing nerve conduction, while the heat penetrates deep into subcutaneous tissue, promoting blood circulation and metabolism, and relieving muscle tension or inflammation. This circulation prolongs the residence time of the smoke within the paper holder, promoting the full release of volatile oils, flavonoids, and other effective components in the moxa stick, thus enhancing its efficacy. The semi-circular bulge design increases the vertical height of the paper holder while maintaining lateral compactness, creating a structure of "high inner cavity, small bottom area." This proportion slows down airflow, preventing the flame from flickering due to excessive airflow, resulting in a more stable combustion temperature and providing continuous and uniform heat stimulation to the moxibustion site. The heat generated by the burning moxa stick first accumulates at the top of the inner cavity of the paper holder, and then, through the guiding effect of the semi-circular bulge, is transferred downwards along the inner wall to the moxibustion site. After some heat is absorbed by the skin, the remaining heat rises back to the top to accumulate again, forming a closed loop of "accumulation → release → re-accumulation." Compared to traditional moxibustion tools, this design prevents instantaneous heat loss, maintaining a suitable temperature at the moxibustion site for a longer period and improving user comfort.

[0014] Furthermore, the top is provided with a plurality of protrusions along the circumference of the first through hole.

[0015] By adopting the above solution, the protrusions arranged circumferentially along the first through-hole can be regarded as "reinforcing ribs," increasing the bending stiffness of the top near the through-hole by increasing the local material thickness. When the top is subjected to external force, the protrusions can disperse stress concentration, preventing cracking or deformation caused by the weak edge of the through-hole. The protrusions strengthen the structure by increasing the amount of material used in key areas, while decorative patterns can be applied to non-critical areas using hollowing or embossing processes such as laser engraving or molding to reduce material thickness, achieving "increased stiffness without increased weight." For example, designing shallow textures between the protrusions maintains a refined appearance while reducing overall weight and improving portability.

[0016] Furthermore, the multiple protrusions are arranged regularly in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

[0017] By adopting the above scheme, when the protrusions are arranged in a spiral shape, their directionality forms an angle with the direction of the torsional force, which can effectively disperse the shear stress generated by the torque. For example, if the top is subjected to a clockwise torque, the spiral protrusions will transfer the stress to the surrounding area through oblique support, preventing local material from breaking due to stress concentration, similar to the anti-loosening principle of bolt threads.

[0018] Furthermore, the adhesive surface is provided with a medical-grade, non-irritating adhesive material.

[0019] By adopting the above approach, medical-grade adhesives typically use materials such as acrylates, silicone, or hydrocolloids. Through rigorous raw material selection, the skin irritation index is controlled to an extremely low level, such as <0.1%, making them suitable for sensitive skin or long-term use. Simultaneously, medical-grade adhesives achieve "strong adhesion yet easy peeling" by optimizing the molecular chain structure, reducing the pulling of the stratum corneum during removal and avoiding micro-trauma that could lead to infection.

[0020] Furthermore, the natural plant fiber pulp is made from one or more of bamboo fiber, wood pulp fiber, bagasse fiber, and mugwort fiber.

[0021] By adopting the above solutions, bamboo fiber and bagasse fiber respectively represent "rapid regenerative forestry" and "high-value utilization of agricultural waste," promoting the industry's transformation towards a circular economy. The length, strength, and antibacterial properties of bamboo fiber, the flexibility and low cost of wood pulp fiber, artemisia fiber, and bagasse fiber, and the high-temperature pressure molding process at 200-220℃ can quickly kill common bacteria in fibers, meeting the stringent packaging requirements of medical, pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic applications. Through composite modification technology, diversified functions such as antibacterial / bacteriostatic, oil-repellent, moisture-absorbing, heat-insulating, and biodegradable properties can be developed. Low raw material costs and strong policy support give the products market competitiveness.

[0022] Furthermore, the number of the semi-circular bulges and vent holes is the same.

[0023] By adopting the above solution, when the number of vent holes is the same as the number of bulges, the gas flow path is simplified, avoiding airflow detours or turbulence caused by insufficient number of holes, ensuring that each bulge corresponds to an equal amount of gas flow, resulting in precise pressure balance, efficient gas exchange, directional thermal management, and simplified structural manufacturing molds, faster assembly, and a significantly improved yield.

[0024] Furthermore, the number of the semi-circular bulge and the number of vent holes are both four.

[0025] By adopting the above scheme, the four semi-circular bulges are symmetrically distributed, with each bulge corresponding to a vent, forming an independent pressure regulating unit. When external pressure is applied, the four bulges deform simultaneously, and gas is evenly discharged or drawn in through the corresponding vent, avoiding local stress concentration.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0027] 1. The base is manufactured using a high-temperature, high-pressure pulp molding process with natural plant fiber pulp, significantly increasing the density and hardness of the paper fibers. This results in a flame-retardant structure with excellent temperature resistance and flame retardant properties. Unlike traditional plastic bases, the paper-plastic base will not melt under the high temperatures generated by burning moxa sticks. This eliminates the risk of burns from a melting base, preventing serious injury from contact with skin and potential fire hazards. It provides reliable safety for users, complies with current environmental protection requirements, helps reduce pollution, and promotes the sustainable development of the moxibustion industry.

[0028] 2. The paper-plastic moxibustion device of this utility model has chemically stable pulp material at high temperatures and will not release any harmful substances, effectively protecting the user's health during the moxibustion process. It is especially suitable for people who use moxibustion therapy for health preservation in the long term.

[0029] 3. It features an adhesive surface for attaching to the human body. This adhesive surface uses medical-grade adhesive material, which has excellent adhesion and skin compatibility, allowing it to adhere closely to the skin. In actual use, after the moxibustion device is attached to acupoints, it will not easily slip off even when the user performs slight physical activities such as turning or sitting up.

[0030] 4. The overall design is compact and lightweight. The base body adopts a hollow structure, which effectively reduces the weight of the product while ensuring structural strength. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0043] Please refer to Embodiment 1 of this utility model. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a paper-plastic moxibustion device is provided, including a base body 1 integrally molded from natural plant fiber pulp through hot pressing. This pulp material does not release harmful substances at high temperatures, making it safer and more environmentally friendly than plastic bases with added flame-retardant materials. When using the paper-plastic moxibustion device of this application for moxibustion treatment, users do not need to worry about inhaling harmful substances, effectively protecting human health. It also has a certain degree of temperature resistance, effectively avoiding the melting problem that may occur with plastic bases in high-temperature environments, eliminating the risk of burns and fires caused by melting bases. The base body 1 is generally hat-shaped, lightweight, stable, and has good temperature resistance and environmentally friendly biodegradable properties.

[0044] Specifically, bamboo fiber and bagasse fiber represent "rapid regenerative forestry" and "high-value utilization of agricultural waste," respectively, driving the industry's transformation towards a circular economy. The length, strength, and antibacterial properties of bamboo fiber, along with the flexibility and low cost of wood pulp fiber, artemisia fiber, and bagasse fiber, combined with the high-temperature pressure molding process (200-220℃), enable rapid elimination of common fiber bacteria, meeting the stringent packaging requirements of medical, pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic applications. Through composite modification technology, diverse functions such as antibacterial / bacteriostatic, oil-repellent, moisture-absorbing, heat-insulating, and biodegradable properties can be developed. Low raw material costs and strong policy support give the product market competitiveness. The base body 1 is hollow internally, with a lightweight, heat-insulating, and environmentally friendly structure. The base body 1, from top to bottom, includes a top 11, a support portion 12, and a fitting portion 13. The top 11 is a circular planar structure with a first through hole 111 in the center for inserting and fixing the moxa stick. The support part 12 is a cylindrical structure used to support the top 11 and form a combustion chamber. Semi-circular bumps 4 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the support part 12; in this embodiment 1, there are four semi-circular bumps 4. The design of the semi-circular bumps 4 increases the longitudinal height, forming a structure of "high inner cavity and small bottom area," which helps in the accumulation and circulation of heat. The adhesive part 13 is a ring-shaped base with an adhesive surface 131 on its bottom surface for adhesion to the human body. The adhesive surface 131 is coated with a medical-grade, non-irritating adhesive material to ensure safe contact with the skin and easy peeling, allowing the moxibustion device to firmly adhere to the skin, greatly improving stability during use and effectively solving the problem of slippage in traditional moxibustion devices. Medical-grade adhesives typically use materials such as acrylates, silicone, or hydrocolloids. Through strict raw material selection, the skin irritation index is controlled to an extremely low level, for example, <0.1%, suitable for sensitive skin or long-term use. Meanwhile, the medical adhesive achieves "strong adhesion but easy peeling" by optimizing the molecular chain structure, reducing the pulling of the stratum corneum during removal and avoiding micro-trauma that could lead to infection. Specifically, a columnar structure 2 extends from the top 11 along the axial direction of the first through-hole 111 towards the adhesive portion 13. A second through-hole 21 is provided at the end of the columnar structure 2 away from the first through-hole 111. The diameter of the second through-hole 21 is smaller than that of the first through-hole 111, allowing the moxa stick to pass through both the first through-hole 111 and the second through-hole 21, and to be locked in place by utilizing their diameter difference.

[0045] The length of the columnar structure 2 is less than the height of the support part 12, forming a height difference. This height difference ensures that the burning head of the moxa stick maintains a safe distance from the surface of the human skin, which can prevent burns and allow heat to continuously act on the acupoint at a suitable temperature (48-54℃) through the second through hole 21. Under these conditions, a continuous heat sensation can last for more than 5 minutes, making the moxibustion experience more obvious.

[0046] A ventilation hole 3 is provided between the fitting part 13 and the supporting part 12. Sufficient oxygen is required for the burning of the moxa stick. The ventilation hole 3 forms an air convection channel, ensuring a continuous supply of oxygen to the combustion area and preventing incomplete combustion due to oxygen deficiency. Air circulation can regulate the combustion rate, prevent local overheating or sudden temperature drops, maintain a suitable intensity of thermal stimulation, and enhance the penetration effect of moxibustion on acupoints. Preferably, the ventilation hole 3 is located at the intersection between the semi-circular bumps 4 and the fitting part 13. In this embodiment 1, the number of ventilation holes 3 is the same as the number of semi-circular bumps 4, both being four. The four ventilation holes 3 are symmetrically distributed, alternating with the four bumps, together forming a highly efficient air convection channel. External cold air enters from the bottom ventilation hole 3, providing continuous oxygen for the burning of the moxa stick; internal hot air and moxa smoke form a circulating convection within the chamber ("backflow incense" effect), allowing the medicinal components to be fully released and act on the human body.

[0047] In some embodiments, the top 11 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 5 circumferentially along the first through hole 111. The protrusions 5 arranged circumferentially along the first through hole 111 can be regarded as "reinforcing ribs", which improve the bending stiffness of the top 11 near the through hole by increasing the local material thickness. When the top 11 is subjected to external force, the protrusions 5 can disperse stress concentration and prevent cracking or deformation caused by the weak edge of the through hole. The protrusions 5 strengthen the structure by increasing the amount of material used in key parts, while decorative patterns can reduce the material thickness in non-critical areas through hollowing or embossing processes such as laser engraving and molding, achieving "increased stiffness without increased weight". For example, shallow textures can be designed between the protrusions 5 to maintain the appearance and reduce the overall weight, thereby improving portability. In this embodiment 1, the plurality of protrusions 5 are arranged regularly in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. When the protrusions 5 are arranged in a spiral shape, their directionality forms an angle with the direction of the torsional force, which can effectively disperse the shear stress generated by the torque. For example, if the top 11 is subjected to a clockwise torque, the spiral protrusion 5 will transfer the stress to the surrounding area through the oblique support, preventing the local material from breaking due to stress concentration, similar to the anti-loosening principle of the bolt thread.

[0048] To use, first peel off the release paper from the bottom of the adhesive part 13, and then firmly attach the moxibustion device to the acupoint on the body through the adhesive surface 131. Take a standard-sized moxa stick, insert it into the first through hole 111 of the top 11, and gently push it downwards until it is locked in place by the second through hole 21. After lighting it, the moxa stick burns stably in the chamber, and the heat and smoke generated are directly applied to the acupoint through the second through hole 21 and the circulation of the chamber. After use, wait for the base to cool completely before easily removing and discarding it from the skin.

[0049] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
