[0001] The present invention relates to the field of moxibustion positioning technology, and more particularly to a moxibustion positioning device. [Background technology]
[0002] Currently, in the process of moxibustion treatment, the traditional operating method relies on a person holding a moxa stick and aligning it with the acupoint to apply moxibustion, which makes it difficult to maintain a stable position and distance for a long time, and is prone to misalignment of the moxibustion position due to hand shaking, which not only affects the treatment effect, but also makes the medical staff or user easily fatigued after holding it for a long time, and is inconvenient to operate.In addition, some traditional moxibustion auxiliary tools are lacking in terms of positioning accuracy, flexibility in height adjustment, fixing stability, and safety during use.For example, some positioning devices cannot be accurately aligned with the acupoint, the height adjustment does not have clear scales, which results in poor temperature control, the fixing structure is prone to loosening and falling off, and the detailed design of the moxa stick clamping and smoke exhaust is insufficient, making it difficult to meet the requirements for accuracy, stability, and convenience in actual moxibustion treatment. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] To address the above shortcomings, the present invention provides a moxibustion positioning device, which aims to improve the problems that some conventional moxibustion auxiliary tools lack in terms of positioning accuracy, height adjustment flexibility, fixation stability, and safety during use. [Means for solving the problem]
[0004] The present invention is realized as follows: A moxibustion positioning device includes a moxibustion cylinder body and a support ring, support rods are symmetrically fixed to the tip of the support ring, slide plates are symmetrically fixed to the outside of the moxibustion cylinder body, the slide plates are slidably attached to the support rods, a micro-needle is fixed to the bottom end of the moxibustion cylinder body, a support cover is threadedly fitted to the bottom end of the support ring, a first annular groove is provided at the bottom end of the support cover, a first circular ring is fixed to the inner wall of the first annular groove, a second circular ring is attached to one side of the first circular ring via Velcro®, and an adhesive tape is provided on one side of the second circular ring.
[0005] A scale is provided on the support rod, a limit ring is slidably attached to the support rod, a locking bolt is attached to the limit ring, one end of the locking bolt passes through the limit ring with a threaded structure and abuts against the outside of the support rod, a resistance force is set between the slide plate and the support rod, and the resistance force is greater than the weight of the moxibustion cylinder body, so that it can only be moved by pushing it with a hand, and a limit disk is provided at the tip of the support rod.
[0006] The support ring has an external thread at its bottom outer end, the support cover has an internal thread on its inner wall that matches the external thread, and the support cover is tapered.
[0007] A second annular groove is provided at the bottom end of the support ring, and a plurality of suction pads are fixed to the inner wall of the second annular groove.
[0008] Push plates are fixed symmetrically to the outside of the moxibustion cylinder body, and the slide plate and the push plate are arranged in a circular pattern, crossing each other.
[0009] A seal ring is slidably fitted to the outside of the moxibustion tube body, a through hole is provided in the seal ring and the moxibustion tube body that communicate with each other, a dustproof net is fixed to the inner wall of the through hole, and an anti-slip pattern is provided on the outside of the seal ring.
[0010] A guide ring is fixed to the outside of the moxibustion barrel body, and a guide slot matching the guide ring is provided on the inner wall of the sealing ring, and there are at least two guide rings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0017] 1 to 5, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows: A moxibustion positioning device includes a moxibustion cylinder body 110 and a support ring 120, support rods 121 are symmetrically fixed to the tip of the support ring 120, slide plates 111 are symmetrically fixed to the outside of the moxibustion cylinder body 110, and the slide plates 111 are slidably attached to the support rods 121, a needle 113 is fixed to the bottom end of the moxibustion cylinder body 110, a support cover 130 is threadedly fitted to the bottom end of the support ring 120, a first annular groove is formed at the bottom end of the support cover 130, a first circular ring 131 is fixed to the inner wall of the first circular groove, a second circular ring 132 is attached to one side of the first circular ring 131 via Velcro®, and an adhesive tape is provided on one side of the second circular ring 132.
[0018] In order to facilitate accurate control of the distance between the moxibustion stick and the skin, a scale is provided on the support rod 121, a limit ring 123 is slidably attached to the support rod 121, and a locking bolt is attached to the limit ring 123. One end of the locking bolt is threaded through the limit ring 123 and abuts the outside of the support rod 121, creating a resistance force between the sliding plate 111 and the support rod 121, which is greater than the weight of the moxibustion tube body 110 and can only be moved by pushing it manually. This prevents the moxibustion tube body 110 from sliding on its own during the moxibustion process, and further ensures stability after the height is adjusted in accordance with the resistance force (greater than the weight of the moxibustion tube body 110) between the sliding plate 111 and the support rod 121, thereby improving reliability in use. The limit disc at the end of the support rod 121 can prevent the sliding plate 111 from slipping off, improving the safety of the device.
[0019] The support ring 120 has a male thread on the bottom outer end, and the support cover 130 has a female thread on the inner wall that matches the male thread. The support cover 130 is tapered, which not only makes it easy to quickly attach and detach the support cover 130, but also ensures a tight seal after the two are connected, preventing the loss of moxibustion heat. The tapered support cover 130 can collect the moxibustion heat, improving the thermal stimulation effect on the acupoints and improving treatment efficiency.
[0020] A second annular groove is provided at the bottom end of the support ring 120, and multiple suction pads 124 are fixed to the inner wall of the second annular groove. The multiple suction pads 124 can be adsorbed to the human skin by negative pressure, providing a primary fixation for the device and effectively preventing the device from being displaced by light contact with external forces during the moxibustion process. Combined with the adhesive tape on the support cover 130, this can form a double fixation, further improving the stability of the overall fixation and ensuring the accuracy of the moxibustion position.
[0021] Push plates 112 are fixed symmetrically to the outside of the moxibustion tube body 110, and the slide plate 111 and push plate 112 are arranged in a cross-circular shape, which avoids mutual structural interference between the two, ensures smooth sliding of the slide plate 111, improves the ease of operation of the push plate 112, and makes height adjustment more labor-saving.
[0022] Referring to Figure 6, a sealing ring 140 is slidably fitted to the outside of the moxibustion barrel body 110. The sealing ring 140 and the moxibustion barrel body 110 have through-holes that communicate with each other. A dustproof net is fixed to the inner wall of the through-hole, and a non-slip pattern is provided on the outside of the sealing ring 140. By sliding the sealing ring 140, the communication area of the through-hole can be adjusted, thereby controlling the amount of air flowing through the moxibustion barrel and realizing adjustment and control of the burning rate of the moxa stick. The dustproof net on the inner wall of the through-hole can prevent external dust from entering the moxibustion barrel body 110, ensuring a clean moxibustion environment. The non-slip pattern on the outside of the sealing ring 140 increases the friction between the hand and the sealing ring 140, facilitating precise sliding adjustment and improving the operating feel.
[0023] A guide ring 141 is fixed to the outside of the moxibustion barrel body 110, and a guide slot matching the guide ring 141 is provided on the inner wall of the sealing ring 140. There are at least two guide rings 141, which provide a guide and limit role for the sliding of the sealing ring 140, ensure that the sealing ring 140 slides stably along the axial direction of the moxibustion barrel body 110, and prevent the sealing ring 140 from shifting or malfunctioning during the adjustment process. The at least two guide rings 141 further improve the stability of the sliding of the sealing ring 140 and ensure the accuracy of the alignment adjustment of the through hole.
[0024] Springs 150 are fixed symmetrically to the inner wall of the moxibustion tube body 110, and clamp plates 151 are fixed to one end of the springs 150. The clamp plates 151 are semi-circular in shape, and a number of guide poles 152 are fixed to one side of the clamp plates 151. One end of the guide poles 152 slidably penetrates the moxibustion tube body 110, and a guide plate is fixed to the tip of the clamp plates 151. The guide plate is inclined, and the inclined guide plate at the tip of the clamp plates 151 can guide the moxa rod to be inserted smoothly between the clamp plates 151, reducing the resistance to installation and improving convenience in use.
[0025] The operating principle is as follows: When in use, the device is first fixed to the human skin by the multiple suction pads 124 in the second annular groove at the bottom of the support ring 120, and can be further reinforced by using the adhesive tape on one side of the second annular ring 132 at the bottom of the support cover 130. The support cover 130 and the support ring 120 are screwed together for easy attachment and detachment. A moxa stick is placed into the moxibustion tube body 110, and the springs 150 symmetrically fixed on the inner wall of the moxibustion tube body 110 press the semi-annular clamping plate 151 to clamp the moxa stick. The inclined guide plate at the tip of the clamping plate 151 makes it easy to insert the moxa stick. The guide rod 152 can ensure the stable movement of the clamping plate 151. The sliding limit ring 123 is adjusted to the appropriate position according to the scale. The moxibustion barrel body 110 is then pushed up and the locking bolt is tightened to secure it. The push plate 112 is then held by hand to push the sliding plate 111 along the support rod 12, and the needles 113 are inserted into the patient's skin. The resistance between the sliding plate 111 and the support rod 121 prevents the moxibustion barrel body 110 from moving. The sealing ring 140 is then slid, and the through-holes on it are aligned with the through-holes on the moxibustion barrel body 110 to adjust the air circulation inside the moxibustion barrel. The dustproof net prevents dust from entering. The anti-skid pattern on the outside of the sealing ring 140 makes it easy to operate. The guide ring 141 is fitted into the guide slot to ensure the stability of the sliding of the sealing ring 140.
[0026] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
