Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of physiotherapy technology, specifically relating to a moxibustion cup. Background Technology
[0002] Moxibustion is a therapy that uses moxa sticks, cones, or wool made from mugwort leaves, which are ignited to generate heat and stimulate acupoints or specific areas of the body. With the increasing demand for health and wellness treatments, the application of moxibustion is becoming more widespread. Most conventional moxibustion tools on the market are box-shaped. When using them, the burning moxa material is placed inside the tool and then placed on the patient's skin. Because these conventional tools are placed directly on the patient's skin, it is generally difficult to adjust the distance between the tool and the skin during application, which can easily lead to excessively high or insufficient temperatures. Furthermore, their function is relatively limited, generally only suitable for a single type of moxa material, resulting in poor flexibility in use. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a moxibustion cup that can quickly switch functions to meet the physiotherapy needs of different patients, is more flexible, and allows for easy adjustment of the distance between the moxibustion material and / or phototherapy module and the skin surface. The adjustment is simple, convenient, stable and efficient.
[0004] The present invention includes a cup holder, a cup cylinder, and a cup lid. The cup holder is hollow inside and has a through-hole at the top and bottom. The cup cylinder has a through-hole at the top and bottom. The cup cylinder is coaxially disposed in the cup holder and threadedly engaged with the cup holder. The cup lid is detachably disposed on the top of the cup cylinder. The bottom of the cup lid faces the bottom of the cup cylinder, and the bottom of the cup lid is provided with a moxibustion material support and / or a phototherapy module.
[0005] Furthermore, the bottom diameter of the cup holder is larger than the top diameter of the cup holder, and the top of the cup holder is provided with an annular area, with the cup cylinder threaded into the annular area.
[0006] Furthermore, the axial dimension of the cup-shaped thread is greater than the axial dimension of the annular region thread.
[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the cup holder is provided with a gua sha (scraping) area.
[0008] Furthermore, a handle is provided on the side of the cup holder.
[0009] Furthermore, when the bottom of the cup lid is provided with a moxibustion material support, the moxibustion material support includes a dust-proof mesh basket and a fixing rod. The dust-proof mesh basket and the bottom of the cup lid are connected by the fixing rod, and the open end of the dust-proof mesh basket faces the bottom of the cup lid and is spaced apart from the bottom of the cup lid.
[0010] Furthermore, the moxibustion material support also includes two or more clips, and the cup lid is axially provided with a moxibustion material hole for the moxibustion material to pass through. The two or more clips are provided at the bottom of the cup lid and surround the moxibustion material hole.
[0011] Furthermore, when a phototherapy module is provided at the bottom of the cup lid, the phototherapy module is an infrared light source module, and the connecting wire of the infrared light source module passes through the top of the cup lid and extends to the outside.
[0012] Furthermore, the inner wall of the top of the cup cylinder is provided with a slot in the axial direction, and the side of the cup lid is provided with a plug that cooperates with the slot in the axial direction, so that the cup lid can be detachably installed on the top of the cup cylinder, and a ring platform is provided on the top edge of the cup lid so that the top diameter of the cup lid is larger than the inner diameter of the top of the cup cylinder.
[0013] Furthermore, the top of the cup lid is provided with air holes.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are that it allows for easy replacement of cup lids with different moxibustion material supports and / or phototherapy modules. During use, the cup base is placed on the skin. Depending on the patient's needs and condition, a suitable cup lid with a phototherapy module can be selected and installed on the cup cylinder. Simultaneously, during treatment, the cup lid can be removed to replace the moxibustion material or another cup lid for continued use, allowing for quick function switching to meet the treatment needs of different patients and providing greater flexibility. When the cylinder is rotated, the relative height between the cup cylinder and the cup base changes, and the distance between the moxibustion material support and / or phototherapy module and the skin surface also changes. This allows for easy adjustment of the distance between the moxibustion material and / or phototherapy module and the skin surface, ensuring the temperature applied to the skin is within an appropriate range during use.

[0022] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a moxibustion cup, including a cup base 1, a cup cylinder 2, and a cup lid 3. The cup base 1 is hollow inside and has a through-hole at the top and bottom. The cup cylinder 2 has a through-hole at the top and bottom, and is coaxially mounted in the cup base 1 and threadedly engaged with it. Rotating the cup cylinder 2 adjusts the relative height between the cup cylinder 2 and the cup base 1. The cup lid 3 is detachably mounted on the top of the cup cylinder 2, meaning it can be removed. When the cup lid 3 is mounted at the bottom of the cup cylinder 2, the bottom of the cup lid 3 faces the bottom of the cup cylinder 2. The bottom of the cup lid 3 is provided with a moxibustion material support and / or a phototherapy module.
[0023] Based on the above design, the cup lid 3 is detachable, allowing for easy replacement with different cup lids equipped with different moxibustion material supports and / or phototherapy modules. During use, the cup base 1 is placed on the skin. Depending on the patient's needs and condition, a cup lid 3 suitable for holding the corresponding moxibustion material and / or equipped with a phototherapy module can be selected and installed on the cup cylinder 2. Simultaneously, during treatment, the cup lid 3 can be removed to replace the moxibustion material or another cup lid 3 for continued use, allowing for quick function switching to meet the treatment needs of different patients and providing greater flexibility. When the cylinder is rotated, the relative height between the cup cylinder 2 and the cup base 1 changes, and the distance between the moxibustion material support and / or phototherapy module and the skin surface also changes. This allows for easy adjustment of the distance between the moxibustion material and / or phototherapy module and the skin surface, ensuring the temperature applied to the skin remains within an appropriate range during use. Furthermore, the threaded connection ensures that the current position is maintained after rotation stops, making adjustment simple, convenient, stable, and efficient.
[0024] The bottom diameter of the cup holder 1 is larger than the top diameter, and the cup holder 1 is approximately frustum-shaped, which makes it more stable when placed on the skin and less likely to tip over. The top of the cup holder 1 is provided with an annular area 11 to facilitate the threaded engagement with the cup cylinder 2, that is, the cup cylinder 2 is specifically threaded into the annular area 11 at the top of the cup holder 1.
[0025] The axial dimension of the thread in the cup cylinder 2 is greater than the axial dimension of the thread in the annular region 11. The axial dimension of the thread is the dimension of the thread along the height direction of the cup cylinder 2 or the annular region 11. Based on this setting, it can be ensured that the cup cylinder 2 has a sufficiently large height adjustment space.
[0026] The bottom of the cup base 1 is provided with a scraping part 12, which can be made of Bian stone or other hard materials suitable for scraping. Based on this design, a scraping medium is pre-applied to the bottom of the scraping part 12 before use, allowing for direct scraping or scraping during moxibustion and / or phototherapy, further enriching the functions of the moxibustion cup and meeting more physiotherapy needs.
[0027] The cup holder 1 is provided with a handle 13 on its side, which makes it easy for the operator to hold the cup holder 1, thereby making it easy to rotate the cup cylinder 2 and move the cup holder 1 for scraping.
[0028] When the bottom of the cup lid 3 is provided with a moxibustion material support, such as Figure 3 As shown, the moxibustion material support includes a dust-proof mesh basket 4 and a fixing rod 5. The dust-proof mesh basket 4 and the bottom of the cup lid 3 are connected by the fixing rod 5, and the open end of the dust-proof mesh basket 4 faces the bottom of the cup lid 3 and is spaced apart from the bottom of the cup lid 3. Based on this configuration, the dust-proof mesh basket can be used to collect moxa ash to prevent it from falling and burning the skin, and it can also serve as a receiving structure for moxibustion materials such as moxa wool and medicinal cakes.
[0029] To accommodate the use of more types of moxibustion materials, such as moxa sticks and moxa cones. Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the moxibustion material support also includes two or more clips 6. The cup cover 3 is axially provided with a moxibustion material hole 34 for the moxibustion material to pass through. Two or more clips 6 are provided at the bottom of the cup cover 3 and surround the moxibustion material hole 34. In use, the moxa stick or moxa cone passes through the moxibustion material hole 34, and the two or more clips 6 abut against the side of the moxa stick or moxa cone to fix the moxa stick or moxa cone. At this time, the ash-separating basket 4 mainly plays the role of receiving moxa ash. After the height position of the cup cylinder 2 is adjusted, the height of its burning end relative to the skin surface can also be adjusted by moving the moxa stick or moxa cone axially upward along the moxibustion material hole 34.
[0030] When the bottom of the cup lid 3 is provided with a phototherapy module, the phototherapy module is an infrared light source module 7, i.e. Figure 5 As shown. The connecting wire of the infrared light source module 7 passes through the top of the cup lid 3 and extends to the outside. The infrared light source module 7 can be an infrared LED or other module capable of emitting infrared light.
[0031] In this invention, a slot 21 is axially provided on the inner sidewall of the top of the cup cylinder 2, and an insert block 31 that mates with the slot 21 is axially provided on the side of the cup lid 3, so that the cup lid 3 can be detachably mounted on the top of the cup cylinder 2. This arrangement is simple in structure and easy to assemble and disassemble; simply insert or remove the cup lid 3. Furthermore, when the cup cylinder 2 is rotated, the cup lid 3 can be ensured to rotate with the cup cylinder 2. A ring platform 32 is provided on the top edge of the cup lid 3 so that the top diameter of the cup lid 3 is larger than the top inner diameter of the cup cylinder 2, thereby limiting the insertion height of the cup lid 3 and preventing it from falling downwards along the top of the cup cylinder 2 during use. More preferably, the edge of the cup lid 3 is provided with a friction-enhancing structure or a gripping rod to facilitate gripping and inserting the cup lid 3 and to facilitate rotating the cup cylinder 2 while gripping the cup lid 3.
[0032] In this utility model, the top of the cup lid 3 is provided with an air hole 33. When the cup lid 3 is used with moxibustion material, the air hole 33 can ensure the air circulation and ensure the complete combustion of the moxibustion material. When the cup lid 3 is used with a phototherapy module, the air hole 33 can be used as a heat dissipation hole and a wire passage hole for the phototherapy module.
