Technical Field
[0001] This application falls under the category of Class II medical device technology, specifically a moxibustion therapy device with automatic temperature measurement and alarm. Background Technology
[0002] Moxibustion requires burning moxa wool, which generates gas that comes into contact with the skin for treatment. The smoke from burning moxa wool directly contacts the skin, and excessively high temperatures can cause discomfort or burns. Often, during moxibustion, the user is relaxed, and many patients fall asleep. Therefore, if the temperature gradually rises while the user is asleep, they could be burned. Thus, a moxibustion device with automatic temperature monitoring and alarm functions is needed. Utility Model Content

[0019] See Figure 1-3 An automatic temperature measurement and alarm moxibustion device includes a housing 1, a top cover 2, an adjustment device, a temperature sensor 3, a microcontroller 4, a display 5, and a buzzer 6. The housing 1 is a barrel shape with an open top. The top cover 2 fits into the opening of the housing 1. A metal mesh 7 is provided inside the housing 1 through the adjustment device. A rear cover 8 is fitted on the side wall of the housing 1. The temperature sensor 3 is provided on the side of the rear cover 8 facing inwards from the housing 1. The microcontroller 4 is provided on the rear cover 8. The microcontroller 4 is signal-connected to the display 5 and the buzzer 6. The top cover 2 has several through holes 9.
[0020] In this embodiment, during use, ginger slices and moxa wool are burned on the metal mesh 7. Temperature sensor 3 detects the temperature generated by the burning ginger slices and moxa wool. When the temperature reaches a preset value, temperature sensor 3 transmits an overheating signal to the microcontroller controller 4, which in turn transmits the signal to the buzzer 6, triggering an alarm to wake the user and prevent burns. The through-hole 9 allows hot air to escape from the outer casing 1 and also provides oxygen to the burning ginger slices and moxa wool inside the casing 1. Under normal circumstances, temperature sensor 3 transmits the temperature signal to the microcontroller controller 4, which then transmits the temperature information to the display 5, which visually displays the temperature for the user's reference. This prevents burns from touching the top cover 2 without knowing the temperature.
[0021] As a preferred embodiment, the buzzer 6 is disposed outside the housing 1. This arrangement prevents heat from damaging the buzzer 6 and also makes the sound emitted by the buzzer 6 easily audible to the user.
[0022] As a preferred embodiment, the temperature sensor 3 is located above the metal mesh 7. This arrangement allows the temperature sensor 3 to be closer to the top cover 2, thereby obtaining a temperature approximation of the top cover 2, which is convenient for the user to use.
[0023] As a preferred embodiment, a mounting rod 10 is provided on the side of the rear cover 8 facing inwards from the outer casing 1. The mounting rod 10 is parallel to the inner bottom wall of the outer casing 1, and the temperature sensor 3 is mounted on the end of the mounting rod 10 facing away from the rear cover 8. By providing the mounting rod 10, the temperature sensor 3 can extend into the outer casing 1, thereby measuring a more accurate temperature.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the microcontroller controller 4 is mounted on the rear cover 8, and the rear cover 8 also houses a battery 11. The battery 11 provides power to the microcontroller controller 4.
[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the display 5 is disposed on the side wall of the rear cover 8 facing outward from the outer casing 1.
[0026] As a preferred embodiment, a heat insulation sheet 12 is provided on the inner circumferential wall of the outer casing 1. The heat insulation sheet 12 has a slot 13, one end of which is on the heat insulation sheet 12, and the other end extends downwards beyond the heat insulation sheet 12. The width of the slot 13 is greater than the outer diameter of the mounting rod 10. By providing the heat insulation sheet 12, the sidewalls of the outer casing 1 are prevented from becoming hot, thus preventing users from being burned by touching the sidewalls of the outer casing 1. The slot 13 is designed so that it does not obstruct the temperature sensor 3 from extending into the outer casing 1 to measure the temperature when the heat insulation sheet 12 is installed.
[0027] As a preferred embodiment, each of the two opposite sidewalls of the outer casing 1 is provided with a ring buckle 14 near the bottom. The ring buckle 14 is provided so that, during use, it can be attached to the bottom of the outer casing with a strap 15 to prevent the outer casing 15 from tipping over.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the adjusting device includes sliders 16. A groove 17 is provided on each opposite side of the inner wall of the outer casing 1. The length line of the groove 17 is perpendicular to the inner bottom wall of the outer casing 1. The slider 16 is slidably disposed within the groove 17. The slider 16 has a screw hole and a bolt 18. The screw hole passes through the slider 16 and one end faces the groove 17. The bolt 18 engages with the screw hole, and the length of the bolt 18 is greater than the length of the screw hole. The width of the groove 13 is greater than the width of the slider 16. When the height of the metal mesh 7 needs to be adjusted, the two sliders 16 are slid to a certain height, and then the sliders 16 are fixed in the groove 17 by tightening the bolts 18. Then, the two ends of the metal mesh 7 are placed on the sliders 16 respectively. Since the shape and size of the metal mesh 7 are equal to the cross-sectional shape and size of the outer casing 1, and the metal mesh 7 is relatively light, two opposing sliders 16 inside the outer casing 1 are sufficient to support the metal mesh 7. Of course, three sets of sliders 16 and grooves 17 are preferred.
