Moxibustion therapy apparatus and method for controlling gas temperature in moxibustion treatment

Abstract

The invention relates to the traditional medical field, particularly relating to the field of acupuncture in the traditional medicine and in particular to an acupunctural device and a control method for acupuncture air temperature. The invention adopts a shell that is opened on one side and an air delivery pipe that extends into the shell, wherein, an outlet end of the air delivery pipe extends near to an acupuncture point and delivers medicinal air to an acupuncture area. The invention also adopts at least one temperature sensor to detect the air temperature near the outlet end, a drive unit drives the outlet end of the air delivery pipe to move towards or away from the acupuncture point and a control unit is electrically connected with the temperature sensor and the drive unit respectively and controls actions of the drive unit (3) according to the detected temperature. The invention has the beneficial effect that the temperature of the medicinal air during moxibustion is automatically detected and regulated into a safe range, thus effectively preventing a sufferer from being burnt; and the air of the traditional Chinese medicine is discharged in a concentrated way, which does not spread out and influence the therapeutic environment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of traditional medicine, in particular to the field of moxibustion in traditional medicine, in particular to a moxibustion device and a method for controlling the temperature of moxibustion gas. Background technique [0002] Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine with a long history of more than 2,000 years, which is widely used in medical treatment and rehabilitation. Moxibustion is a kind of moxibustion therapy. In the implementation of moxibustion therapy, it is necessary to burn a plant called moxa or add certain drugs to moxa to enhance the curative effect. Add some barriers between moxa and moxa to prevent skin burns, or burn moxa or a mixture of moxa and medicine on the handle of an acupuncture needle inserted into an acupuncture point. The smoke produced by the plant during burning contains a variety of chemicals, and the particles in the moxa smoke settle on the acupuncture points and are absorbed by ...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Other heat sources have been suggested, such as lasers instead of burning moxa, but this is not a substitute for burning moxa, as lasers do not produce the same chemicals as moxa burns

Chinese patent 200420042003.3, titled "Controllable Temperature Smokeless Moxibustion Device", discloses an acupuncture device with a burning moxa container, wherein the moxa is placed in the medicine container 4 and burned in the container, but the moxa The smoke is easy to leak from the retaining ring 8, and the temperature of the moxibustion is adjusted by pulling the connection line 7 to change the relative position between the moxibustion and the container 4

But still can not solve the problem that the patient's skin is scalded due to the excessive temperature of burning moxa

[0005] Chinese patent 97236086.7, titled "Skin-adhesive multi-functional micro-smoke moxibustion device", discloses a device body consisting of a shell, a protective net, a transom, a hinge, and a buckle, which is inserted into the bottom of the body with stirring ears and retaining springs. Inside the base, the top of the device body is equipped with a device cover, and a smoke filter pad is set between the top of the device body and the gas cover. This scheme uses the smoke filter pad to achieve micro smoke, but in fact it cannot completely avoid smoke leakage, and the temperature of moxibustion cannot be controlled. effective regulation
