Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxibustion technology, and in particular to a gourd-shaped moxibustion device. Background Technology

[0002] Moxibustion, a traditional Chinese medicine therapy with a history of thousands of years, works by using the heat and volatile substances released from burning mugwort to precisely stimulate acupoints along the meridians, thereby achieving therapeutic effects such as warming the meridians and dispelling cold, regulating qi and blood, and strengthening the body's resistance to pathogens. Studies have shown that the far-infrared wavelengths produced by burning moxibustion are similar to the resonant frequencies of human cells, which can effectively promote blood circulation and cell metabolism.

[0003] As an advanced application of moxibustion, blowing moxibustion therapy uses wind to accelerate the burning of moxa wool or moxa sticks, allowing heat and medicinal properties to act more effectively on the treatment site, thereby significantly enhancing the depth of heat penetration and the efficiency of medicinal diffusion, resulting in stronger penetrability.

[0004] However, existing blow-drying devices have the following problems:

[0005] 1. The complex structure and inconvenient operation make it difficult for users to quickly get started;

[0006] 2. Some devices have poor sealing, which can easily lead to heat and smoke leakage during use. This not only affects the treatment effect but may also have adverse effects on the user and the surrounding environment. Utility Model Content

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] Example 1, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2A gourd-shaped moxibustion device includes a shell 1, a base 2, and a connecting component 3. The shell 1 and the base 2 are made by cutting and processing a gourd. The top of the shell 1 has a through hole, and a blow tube 4 is installed on the through hole to conduct the heat and smoke generated by moxibustion to the treatment area. An air inlet pipe 5 is connected to one side of the shell 1, and one end of the air inlet pipe 5 is connected to an elastic air bag 6. By squeezing the elastic air bag, air can be sent into the shell to accelerate the burning of the moxa. The shell 1 and the base 2 are detachably connected by the connecting component 3, which facilitates cleaning the inside of the device and replacing the moxa sticks. Both ends of the elastic airbag 6 are equipped with one-way valves: one end is an inlet valve 601, and the other end is an outlet valve 602. The outlet valve 602 is connected to the inlet pipe 5. This design ensures that when the elastic airbag 6 is squeezed, air can only enter the inlet pipe 5 through the outlet valve 602, while when the elastic airbag 6 is released, air can only enter the elastic airbag 6 through the inlet valve 601. This ensures that air can only flow into the inlet pipe 5 in one direction, improving the stability and efficiency of air delivery while preventing gas backflow and preventing the backflow of heat and smoke generated by moxibustion, thus ensuring the stability and effectiveness of the blowing.

[0035] Example 2, refer to Figure 2 The air inlet pipe 5 is connected to the elastic airbag 6 via a three-way connector, and the other end is connected to the air inlet device 10. An air outlet valve 602 is provided at the connection between the air inlet device 10 and the air inlet pipe 5. In addition to manually squeezing the elastic airbag 6 to deliver air, air can also be automatically delivered through the air inlet device 10, increasing the selection of air delivery methods. The air inlet device 10 uses a small DC motor-driven fan or blower. The fan or blower blades are made of high-temperature and corrosion-resistant materials to ensure that the air inlet device 10 can operate stably in the high-temperature environment of moxibustion. Furthermore, the air inlet device 10 has a multi-level adjustable switch, divided into three levels: fast, medium, and slow. The slow level sets the air volume to 8-12 cubic meters per hour, and the smaller air volume allows the moxa stick to burn slowly. The first setting provides gentle heat and medicinal properties, avoiding burns to sensitive skin or delicate areas due to excessive temperature, and offering users a comfortable and safe moxibustion experience. The second setting, with an airflow of 15-20 cubic meters per hour, ensures stable burning of the moxa stick, allowing the generated heat and medicinal properties to effectively penetrate acupoints and meridians, achieving better therapeutic effects such as warming and unblocking meridians and dispelling dampness and cold. The third setting, with an airflow of 25-30 cubic meters per hour, accelerates the burning of the moxa stick, allowing a large amount of heat and medicinal properties to quickly act on the treatment area, enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of moxibustion. The airflow speed can be flexibly adjusted according to different treatment needs and user preferences to control the intensity of moxibustion.

[0036] Example 3, referring to Figures 3-5The connecting component 3 includes a hinge 7 and a latch lock 31. The hinge 7 is disposed between the housing 1 and the base 2, and is used to connect the housing 1 and the base 2 and allow relative rotation between them, so as to facilitate opening and closing the device. The latch lock 31 includes a fixed base plate 311 and a buckle 312. The fixed base plate 311 is fixed to the housing 1 by bolts, and the buckle 312 is fixed to the base 2 by bolts. By engaging the latch lock 31, the housing 1 and the base 2 can be tightly fixed to ensure the sealing of the device.

[0037] The connecting component 3 can also be a crescent-shaped latch lock 32. The crescent-shaped latch lock 32 includes an upper base plate 321 fixed on the housing 1 and a lower base plate 322 fixed on the base 2. The upper base plate 321 is rotatably connected to a crescent hook 323, and the lower base plate 322 is fixedly connected to a crescent lock hole 324. The housing 1 and the base 2 are tightly connected by fastening the crescent hook 323 into the crescent lock hole 324.

[0038] The base 2 is equipped with several moxa stick forks 8 to securely hold the moxa sticks in place, preventing them from falling during the burning process and improving safety. The bottom of the shell 1 and the top of the base 2 are both equipped with high-temperature resistant sealing strips 9, which further enhance the sealing of the device, reduce the leakage of heat and smoke during moxibustion, and improve the moxibustion effect.

[0039] Specific implementation method one: using an elastic airbag 6 for air supply and the connecting assembly 3 employing a hinge 7 and a latch lock 31:

[0040] First, open the latch 31 and separate the housing 1 from the base 2 using the hinge 7. Insert the lit moxa stick into the moxa stick fork 8 on the base 2. Then, rotate the housing 1 onto the base 2 using the hinge 7, ensuring that the high-temperature resistant sealing strip 9 at the bottom of the housing 1 and the top of the base 2 fits tightly. Then, fasten the latch 31 to ensure that the device is securely connected and well-sealed. The user should aim the blowing tube 4 at the area to be treated with moxibustion, hold the elastic airbag 6, and repeatedly squeeze the elastic airbag 6 to allow gas to enter the elastic airbag 6 through the air inlet valve 601, and then enter the housing 1 through the air inlet pipe 5 via the air outlet valve 602, and be blown out from the blowing tube 4 to accelerate the burning of the moxa stick and adjust the temperature and intensity of the blowing to achieve the best moxibustion effect.

[0041] Specific implementation method two: using air intake device 10 for air supply and connecting component 3 is crescent-shaped latch lock 32:

[0042] First, open the crescent-shaped latch 32 and rotate the crescent hook 323 on the upper base plate 321 out of the crescent-shaped lock hole 324 on the lower base plate 322 to separate the housing 1 and the base 2. Then, place the lit moxa stick on the moxa stick fork 8 on the base 2, cover the base 2 with the housing 1, and make the high-temperature resistant sealing strips 9 contact each other. Then, rotate the crescent hook 323 into the crescent-shaped lock hole 324 to achieve a tight connection between the housing 1 and the base 2. According to the patient's specific condition, adjust the switch of the air inlet device 10. The fan or blower driven by the small DC motor will provide the corresponding air volume according to the selected setting. The air enters the housing 1 through the air inlet pipe 5 and is blown out from the moxibustion tube 4 to control the burning speed of the moxa stick and the temperature of the moxibustion, so as to provide the patient with appropriate moxibustion treatment.

[0043] Working principle: When using this device, first, open the connecting component 3 (hook and latch 31 or crescent hook and latch 32), insert the moxa stick into the moxa stick fork 8 on the base 2, ignite the moxa stick, and then close the connecting component 3 (hook and latch 31 or crescent hook and latch 32) to make the housing 1 and the base 2 tightly connected. If manual air supply is used, the user can squeeze the elastic air bag 6, and air will enter the housing 1 from the air outlet valve 602 of the elastic air bag 6 through the air inlet pipe 5 to accelerate the burning of the moxa stick. If automatic air supply or adjustment of air supply intensity is required, the air inlet device 10 can be turned on, and the appropriate level among the three levels of fast, medium and slow can be selected according to the needs. The airflow generated by the air inlet device 10 enters the housing 1 through the air inlet pipe 5. The heat and smoke generated by moxibustion are discharged through the blowing tube 4 and directed at the treatment area of ​​the human body for moxibustion treatment. During the treatment, the air supply mode and the level of the air inlet device 10 can be adjusted at any time according to the actual feeling and treatment needs.

[0044] After use, turn off the air inlet device 10 (if used), open the connection component 3 (hook and latch 31 or crescent hook and latch 32), clean the remaining moxa ash and moxa stick residue on the base 2, check whether the connections of each component are loose, and whether the sealing strip 9 is damaged. If there are any problems, repair or replace them in time to ensure normal use next time.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
