BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic heating device, and more particularly, to an electronic heating device suitable for stimulating acupuncture points, such as resin moxibustion, and easy to use.

In general, oriental medicine uses acupuncture and moxibustion to cure acupuncture points in the human body to treat diseases. Acupuncture using acupuncture is a treatment that stimulates acupoints mechanically, and moxibustion is a treatment that thermally stimulates acupuncture points.

Oral, that is, conventional moxibustion is made of wormwood, which can be easily obtained because there is no other material.The moxibustion is placed on the skin of acupuncture points and ignited, burning wormwood and applying hundreds of degrees of heat directly to the skin. The wormwood was large and wide, resulting in burns or severe pains due to high fever, and long-lasting healing of scars and scarring.

In order to solve the problem of the scar ball scar method, the indirect mouth that maintains a predetermined distance between the skin and the wormwood or interposes a membrane without directly heating the acupuncture points is disclosed in Utility Model Publication 82-1879, 91-5942, 91- 5943, 92-2731, 93-17, 93-416 and the like. Indirect tools disclosed in Utility Model Publications 82-5942, 91-5942, 91-5943, etc. are inconvenient to use because a plurality of acupuncture points cannot be applied at the same time as the wormwood rods or utensils must be placed close to or directly on the acupuncture points. Indirect tools disclosed in Utility Model Publications 92-2731, 93-17, 93-416, etc. are placed on acupuncture points as shown in FIG. Because of the single-use heat stimulation time is very short, because the stimulation of the floating once is less effective, there was the inconvenience of having to float several times.

Conventional direct or improved indirect or both of the wormwood made of wormwood ignited by burning to get heat stimulation has the following problems.

First, wormwood has to ignite, so it is cumbersome to use and there is a risk of fire.

Secondly, because it burns wormwood, it gives an unpleasant odor due to smoke and wormwood, and there is an inconvenience of wiping off wormwood on the skin after the ward.

Third, because it can not be maintained for a long time at a constant temperature there is a hassle to repeatedly float several times.

Fourth, there is an inconvenience that the wormwood has to deal with the remaining ashes.

Fifth, because of the smoke and odor must be prepared in advance, such as ventilation or air cleaner is not only inconvenient but also limited in space.

Patent Publication 91-6976 discloses a moxibustion treatment using heat transfer to solve the problem of moxa moxa. This patent solves some of the problems of conventional moxibustion by stimulating acupuncture points by transferring heat generated by lighting a bulb to a conical needle of a metallic material, but it is inconvenient to use because it still cannot mark a plurality of acupuncture points at the same time. It has the effect that the treatment is less effective, the structure is large, complex, and the manufacturing cost is high.

Recently, resin therapy, which can be easily learned due to heavy medical expenses and high interest in health, and can be diagnosed and treated directly without risk, is widely known as folk remedies, but the problems of the prior art as described above. Therefore, moxibustion therapy is not widely used due to inconvenience in use. In particular, the hands are more sensitive than other parts, so if the stimulus is a little sharp or strong, the tension, pain and wormwood are long, ugly and odorless, which is not good for aesthetics and thus inhibits popularization. In addition, moxibustion therapy is known to be effective in the treatment of chronic diseases, and the conventional moxibustion method is very cumbersome and inconvenient to use repeatedly for long-term moxibustion every day because it is often cumbersome and inconvenient. No effect could be obtained.

13 shows a circuit diagram of an electronic heating bulb suitable for portable use. The same parts as those of FIG. 12 among the components of the vehicle electronic heating implement are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted. The difference is that the power generating means for converting 12 volts into 5 volts of operating power and a plug 150 for connecting a 12 volt car battery or a portable rechargeable battery pack with a cigar jack or a portable rechargeable battery pack for use as a direct current power source. 152 and a variable resistor 154 for controlling temperature by varying the reference voltage of 7 volts obtained through the reference voltage generator 155 generating a reference voltage of about 7 volts by inputting a voltage of 12 volts. The current power supply means 156 for controlling the output current to a high current corresponding to the voltage regulated by the resistor 154 is different. The high current value of the DC power supply means 156 is varied by adjusting the variable resistor. Therefore, the temperature of the heating element is adjusted by adjusting the current value supplied to the jack 114. Therefore, since the power transformer is removed, small size and light weight are possible, making it easy to carry. In the above-described modified embodiment, since the double-sided tape is used as the attachment means, the attachment position can be freely set and it is easy to use.

The effects of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

First, referring to FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, the acupoints of some representative treatments of resin moxibustion are summarized in Table 1 below.

As shown in Table 1, the resin moxibustion should be moxibustion of the resin points of the corresponding points corresponding to each part of the body at the same time depending on the acupoints and treatment types of the base room of the term vein, so the acupoints corresponding to the base room are shown in FIG. The heating element is positioned using the base room attachment member, and the heating element is positioned at the acupuncture point of the corresponding point other than the terminus vein by using an attachment member such as band type, tong or clip type, electrode pad type, and open ring type. Subsequently, after attaching the heating element to the position of each acupuncture points, the plug of each heating element is plugged into the external connection jack of the power supply device and the power switch is turned on to supply driving power to each heating element. Also turn the timer setting knob to set the appropriate heat stimulation time. When the set time is completed, the supply of driving power to the heating element is cut off by the timer.

As described above, in the present invention, the heating element is placed on the acupuncture points to be treated, and only the power is supplied. Therefore, the present invention can be immediately prepared without any troublesome preparation such as a match or a lighter, an ashtray, an air cleaner, and smoke or smell during moxibustion. Because it does not occur, it does not affect the odors around and if you place it only once, you can keep the thermal stimulus at a constant temperature for a desired time and maximize the effect of treatment. There is no fear of wormwood or burns on the hands after the ball, so there is no fear of discomfort or pain. In addition, by forming a heating element for moxibustion of resin medicine using a static dummy dummyster, it can be manufactured at a very low cost and small size and contribute to the popularization of resin moxibustion.
