Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to the configuration of a heat supply device that uses a combustion rod as a heat source and provides a treatment method by irradiating a hot air flow based on the heat source.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, moxibustion devices have been used as therapeutic tools, in which moxa or the like is formed into a rod-shaped object and the rod-shaped object is burned to use as a heat source.

A conventional example of this moxibustion device is shown in FIG. The illustrated moxibustion device 45 is outlined as follows.

In the figure, reference numeral 51 is a moxa mass, which is made by drying moxa leaves into a cotton-like shape, which is stuffed into a tube 52 and made into a rod-like shape. The cylindrical tube 52 having the moxa mass 51 is inserted through the opening 46a at the upper end of the cylindrical portion 47, and is retained on the neck portion 46 by elastic action. At this time, the leading end of the moxa mass 51 is located in the hollow position of the cylinder part 47. In addition, 48 is a pore, 49a is an opening, 50 is a receiving net, and 5
3 is the bottom cover of the cylindrical tube 52, and by pushing it in, the tip of the moxa mass 51 can be exposed.

The moxibustion device 45 configured in this manner has its head 4
It is used with 9 facing downward.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] As described above, the cylindrical pipe 52 has the moxa mass 51.
In the moxibustion device 45 where is set, moxa mass 5
When the leading end of the fuel is ignited, outside air E will be supplied to the combustion section 54 through each of the pores 48, but the hot air in the combustion section 54 will be supplied through the receiving net 50 It is then irradiated to the outside as a heated air current. At the same time, an upward air current is generated within the cylinder portion 47 due to the heat generated.

However, this rising airflow flows out from each air hole 48 to the outside, but at this time, the outside air E is prevented from flowing into the cylindrical part 47, and as a result, the combustion part 54
In this case, incomplete combustion occurs and a large amount of smoke G is generated. Moreover, since this smoke G flows out through each of the pores 48, the incomplete combustion state described above becomes stronger.

As described above, conventional moxibustion devices have drawbacks such as generating a large amount of smoke and having low thermal efficiency due to the separation of the hot air to be irradiated into upper and lower parts. It was limited.

In addition, in particular, since the thermal efficiency is low as described above, in order to irradiate the opening 49a surface with a constant temperature, the cylindrical pipe 52 must be
There were drawbacks such as the need to maintain a constant distance between the combustion section 54 and the receiving net 50 surface by pressing down.

The purpose of this invention is to increase the combustion efficiency in the combustion rod, to allow the necessary high-temperature thermal airflow to reach the irradiation port, and to maintain the temperature of the airflow constant for a certain period of time without any special operation. An object of the present invention is to provide a heat supply device that can be used in a variety of ways while preventing the generation of smoke.

[Means for solving the problem] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has the following configuration for the heat supply device.

That is, in a cylindrical body having an intake port and an irradiation port serving as an exhaust port, a blower capable of blowing air in the direction toward the irradiation port is provided between the intake port and the irradiation port within the cylindrical body. Further, a holder is provided at a position on the surface of the inlet port and has a through hole communicating with the outside air in the center along with the air hole, and on this holder, a through hole that the combustion rod has on its axis is communicated with the through hole. It is characterized in that one end, which is a combustion end, is fixedly supported by the other end so that it is in a hollow position within the cylindrical body.

In the above configuration feature, the cylindrical body may be a simple cylindrical body with a straight axis, or two or more cylindrical bodies may be configured to communicate and have a bent axis. It may be something that has been done.

Further, although the above-described irradiation ports, which are the intake port and the exhaust port, are usually formed at the end face portions of the cylindrical body, they are not limited to these positions. Further, the peripheral wall portion on the cylindrical body in the vicinity of forming the irradiation port may be formed by an inclined surface that is narrower in the direction toward the irradiation port.

The combustion rod may be made by pulverizing moxa, kneading it with water and glue, forming it into a rod shape, and drying and solidifying it, similar to common incense sticks. In addition, considering the heat generation temperature, combustion time, amount of outside air flow, etc., the combustion rod should have a through hole diameter of around 3 mmφ.
It is preferable that the thickness due to the difference between the inner and outer diameters is 2 to 3 mm. In addition, the temperature of the thermal air flow suitable for thermal treatment is
The temperature is around 30°C, and the preferred time is about 10 to 20 minutes.

[Effect] The present invention has the following effects.

First, the blowing function of the blower works to force outside air to flow into the cylindrical body through the pores on the intake port surface and also through the through holes on the holder. As a result, outside air can flow through the through hole into the through hole on the combustion rod, and outside air is also supplied to the combustion end of the combustion rod on its outer peripheral surface and on the inner surface of the through hole. . As a result, the combustion efficiency at the combustion end is increased, and a relatively high-temperature thermal airflow can be obtained.

The high-temperature airflow thus obtained reaches the irradiation port with almost no loss. Therefore, the hot airflow can flow out from the irradiation port at a stable temperature while the combustion rod continues its combustion.

In addition, as described above, as a result of increasing the combustion efficiency of the combustion rod, almost complete combustion can be achieved and almost no smoke is generated.

In addition, the outside air A' flows into the through hole 21 and reaches the combustion section 20a as an air flow B'. For this reason, the combustion section 20
Since outside air is supplied to the extreme end portion 20 from inside and outside, a complete combustion state is obtained. Therefore, almost no smoke is generated during the combustion process of the combustion rod 20. In addition, at this time, the hot air flow C that generates the combustion part 20a is guided into the blow tube 10 as a hot air flow C' according to the blast, and is further focused by the inclined wall of the irradiation tube 11, so that the inclination of the hot air flow C' is An irradiation airflow D having a higher amount of heat and emitted from the irradiation port 12 is obtained.
