Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of physiotherapy equipment technology, specifically relating to an moxibustion tube with automatically adjustable spacing. Background Technology

[0002] Based on the effects of heat stimulation, meridian and acupoint stimulation, and drug penetration, moxibustion is often used in endocrine therapy. Existing moxibustion cylinders are portable and easy to operate, but the moxa stick inside is constantly burning and being consumed, and the length of the moxa stick is decreasing. Therefore, the distance between the burning end of the moxa stick and the human skin is gradually increasing. As this distance increases, the therapeutic effect of moxibustion is reduced. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes an automatically adjustable moxibustion cylinder. Based on the reset mechanism after compression of the spring, the spacing can be automatically adjusted as the moxa stick is burned and consumed, so that the distance between the burning end of the moxa stick and the human skin tends to be constant. This solves the problem that the distance between the burning end of the moxa stick and the human skin gradually increases as the moxa stick is continuously burned and consumed in existing moxibustion cylinders.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: An automatically adjustable moxibustion cylinder includes a cylinder body, a top cover threaded to the top of the cylinder body, a guide tube, a compression spring, and an isolation net. The guide tube is used to hold moxa sticks, and its top end is threaded to the top cover, allowing the guide tube to be installed and removed from the top cover. A bracket is fixedly installed at the bottom of the guide tube to support the moxa sticks and allow moxa ash to pass through. When the moxa sticks are installed in the guide tube, the bracket can hold the bottom end of the moxa sticks to prevent them from falling out of the guide tube. After the bottom end of the moxa sticks burns, the moxa ash can fall through the bracket. The compression spring is installed in the guide tube and is located above the moxa sticks inside the guide tube. Initially, the compression spring is in a compressed state. After the bottom end of the moxa sticks burns and the moxa ash falls, the compression spring rebounds and pushes the moxa stick downwards in the guide tube to fill the gap, ensuring that the burning end of the moxa stick is always at the bracket, so that the distance between the burning end of the moxa stick and the human skin tends to be constant. The isolation net is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylinder body to collect moxa ash and prevent the moxa ash from burning the skin.

[0005] Furthermore, the moxibustion cylinder also includes an external threaded push rod, which is threaded onto the top cover, and the bottom end of the external threaded push rod is inserted into the guide tube. When the external threaded push rod is rotated to move into the guide tube, it can compress the pressure spring to compensate for the spring's rebound ability after the moxa stick has burned for a certain period of time.

[0006] Furthermore, the bracket is a Y-shaped or cross-shaped support rod. The bracket with the above structure can control the contact area between the bracket and the bottom of the moxa stick to reduce its impact on the combustion of the bottom of the moxa stick. The bracket with this structure has a gap that allows moxa ash to pass through.

[0007] Furthermore, a pointed cone is fixedly provided at the center of the top surface of the bracket. Compared with the bracket directly supporting the moxa stick, the pointed cone supporting the moxa stick can reduce the contact area with the bottom surface of the moxa stick, thereby reducing the impact on the combustion of the bottom end of the moxa stick.

[0008] Furthermore, a sieve tube is provided between the support and the bottom end of the guide tube. The top end of the sieve tube is fitted onto the bottom end of the guide tube and fixedly connected thereto. The support is welded to the bottom end of the sieve tube. When the bottom end of the moxa stick is burning, it is located inside the sieve tube. The sieve tube is breathable and can increase the air supply required for the bottom end of the moxa stick to burn.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom end face of the cylinder is provided with multiple grooves to allow air to pass through the inside and outside of the cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, the side wall of the guide tube is provided with multiple ventilation grooves that communicate with each other inside and outside, so that air can communicate between the inside and outside of the guide tube, which helps the moxa stick burn.

[0011] Furthermore, the side wall of the cylinder is provided with a window, and a transparent viewing window is installed inside the window. The internal condition of the cylinder can be observed through the transparent viewing window, and the position of the moxa stick in the guide tube can be observed through the transparent viewing window and the ventilation groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer wall of the cylinder is provided with a jacket, which provides anti-scalding, anti-slip, and heat insulation effects when the cylinder is held by hand.

[0013] Furthermore, both ends of the compression spring are fixedly provided with circular push plates, which helps to center the compression spring in the guide tube and facilitates stable movement of the moxa stick in the guide tube.

[0014] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the moxibustion tube with automatically adjustable spacing provided by this utility model are as follows: This moxibustion cylinder utilizes the warming stimulation, meridian and acupoint stimulation, and drug penetration effects of moxibustion for endocrine therapy. Based on the detachable structure of the guide tube and top cover on the cylinder body, a lit moxa stick can be inserted into the guide tube for moxibustion. The support holds the burning end of the moxa stick, maintaining a certain distance between the burning end and the skin. Initially, the spring is compressed. After the bottom of the moxa stick burns, the ash falls, shortening the stick's length. When the spring rebounds and extends, it pushes the moxa stick within the guide tube to fill the gap, ensuring the burning end of the moxa stick remains at the support. This keeps the distance between the burning end and the skin constant, addressing the problem of the distance gradually increasing as the moxa stick burns and is consumed in existing moxibustion cylinders. This ensures the therapeutic effect of moxibustion. This moxibustion cylinder is suitable for moxibustion at acupoints with the bottom opening facing downwards or the cylinder body slightly tilted.

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0023] A moxibustion tube with automatically adjustable spacing, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it mainly consists of a cylinder 1, a top cover 2, an external threaded push rod 4, a compression spring 6, a guide tube 7, a screen tube 9, a support 10, and an isolation net 11; like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the cylinder 1 is a cylindrical structure with openings at both ends. The outer side wall of its top end is provided with external threads, and the inner side wall of the top cover 2 is provided with internal threads. The top cover 2 is threadedly connected to the top end of the cylinder 1, making it easy to disassemble and assemble. like Figure 1 As shown, the top of the top cover 2 is welded or integrally formed with an internal threaded sleeve 3, and the top of the guide tube 7 is integrally formed with an external threaded joint that is threadedly connected to the internal threaded sleeve 3. The top of the guide tube 7 is threadedly connected to the top cover 2, so that the guide tube 7 can be disassembled and installed on the top cover 2. The guide tube 7 is used to hold the moxa stick 15. When moxibustion is performed, the guide tube 7 and the top cover 2 are disassembled, and the moxa stick 15 with its bottom end fully lit is installed in the guide tube 7. like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the top end of the sieve tube 9 is fitted onto the bottom end of the guide tube 7 and welded thereto. The bracket 10 is welded to the bottom end of the sieve tube 9. The bracket 10 is used to support the moxa stick 15 and allows moxa ash to pass through. The bracket 10 can hold the bottom end of the moxa stick 15 to prevent the moxa stick 15 from falling out of the guide tube 7. After the bottom end of the moxa stick 15 burns, the moxa ash can fall through the bracket 10. When the bottom end of the moxa stick 15 is burning, it is located inside the sieve tube 9. The sieve tube 9 is breathable and can increase the air supply required for the bottom end of the moxa stick 15 to burn. like Figure 1 As shown, the compression spring 6 is installed inside the guide tube 7 and is located above the moxa stick 15 housed inside the guide tube 7. In the initial state, the compression spring 6 is in a compressed state. After the bottom end of the moxa stick 15 burns, the ash falls off. When the compression spring 6 rebounds and extends, it pushes the moxa stick 15 downward to fill the gap inside the guide tube 7, ensuring that the burning end of the moxa stick 15 is always at the support 10, so that the distance between the burning end of the moxa stick 15 and the human skin tends to be constant. like Figure 1 As shown, the external threaded push rod 4 is threadedly connected to the top cover 2, and the bottom end of the external threaded push rod 4 is inserted into the guide tube 7. When the external threaded push rod 4 is rotated to move into the guide tube 7, it can compress the compression spring 6 to compensate for the rebound ability of the compression spring 6 after the moxa stick 15 has been burning for a certain period of time. Specifically, after the moxa stick 15 has been burning for a certain period of time, the compression spring 6 will extend, and the external threaded push rod 4 is used to compress the compression spring 6 again to ensure the subsequent pushing ability of the compression spring 6 on the moxa stick 15. like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, both ends of the compression spring 6 are fixedly provided with circular push plates 5, which is beneficial for the compression spring 6 to be centered in the guide tube 7 and helps to stably push the moxa stick 15 to move in the guide tube 7. like Figure 1 As shown, the isolation net 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner part of the cylinder 1 to collect the ash and prevent the ash from burning the skin.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, in this example, Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the bracket 10 is a cross-shaped support rod. The bracket 10 with the above structure can control the contact area between the bracket 10 and the bottom end of the moxa stick 15, so as to reduce its impact on the burning of the bottom end of the moxa stick 15. The bracket 10 with this structure has a gap that allows moxa ash to pass through. A pointed cone is fixedly provided at the center of the top surface of the support 10. Compared with the support 10 directly supporting the moxa stick 15, the pointed cone supports the moxa stick 15, which can reduce the contact area with the bottom surface of the moxa stick 15, thereby reducing the impact on the combustion of the bottom end of the moxa stick 15.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, in this example, Figure 1 As shown, the bottom end face of the cylinder 1 is provided with a plurality of grooves 12 to allow air to pass through the inside and outside of the cylinder 1.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, in this example, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the side wall of the guide tube 7 is provided with a plurality of ventilation grooves 13 that communicate with the inside and outside, so that the air inside and outside the guide tube 7 can communicate with each other, which helps the moxa stick 15 to burn. like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a window is provided on the side wall of the cylinder 1, and a transparent viewing window 8 is installed inside the window. The internal condition of the cylinder 1 can be observed through the transparent viewing window 8, and the position of the moxa stick 15 in the guide tube 7 can be observed through the transparent viewing window 8 and the ventilation groove 13.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, in this example, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the cylinder 1 is provided with an outer sleeve 14. When the cylinder 1 is held by hand, the outer sleeve 14 has the effects of preventing scalding, preventing slipping and heat insulation; specifically, the outer sleeve 14 is a silicone pad layer.

[0028] The working principle of this embodiment: When using this moxibustion cylinder for acupoint moxibustion, disassemble the top cover 2 and guide tube 7. After fully igniting the bottom end of the moxa stick 15, insert it into the guide tube 7. Then, thread the top end of the guide tube 7 into the inner threaded sleeve 3 inside the top of the top cover 2. In the initial state, the support 10 presses against the burning end of the moxa stick 15 at the bottom end, and the compression spring 6 is compressed between the moxa stick 15 and the top cover 2, giving the compression spring 6 a rebound potential energy. Install the top cover 2 on the top of the cylinder 1, placing the moxa stick 15 inside the cylinder 1. Place the moxibustion cylinder at the acupoint, keeping the bottom opening of the cylinder 1 facing downwards or the cylinder 1 slightly tilted, and perform moxibustion on the acupoint. As the moxa stick 15 burns out, the ash from the burning bottom end falls from the support 10 onto the isolation net 11. Under the rebound force of the spring 6, the moxa stick 15 is pushed downward to fill the gap, so that the burning bottom end of the moxa stick 15 is always on the support 10, and the distance between the burning end of the moxa stick 15 and the human skin tends to be constant. This solves the problem that the distance between the burning end of the moxa stick and the human skin gradually increases when the moxa stick in the existing moxibustion cylinder is continuously burned and consumed, thus ensuring the moxibustion treatment effect. Through the transparent window 8, if the pushing force of the compression spring 6 is insufficient, the external threaded push rod 4 is rotated to compress the compression spring 6. It should be noted that when the moxibustion cylinder is used upside down, the bottom of the cylinder 1 faces upward. Although the moxa stick 15 can be pushed to move in the guide tube 7 to fill the gap under the rebound force of the compression spring 6, it is not conducive to the falling of moxa ash. The moxibustion cylinder should not be used upside down as much as possible.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
