Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, it will be described in detail an embodiment according to the present invention.

In this process, the size or shape of the components shown in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity and convenience of description. In addition, terms that are specifically defined in consideration of the configuration and operation of the present invention may vary depending on the intention or custom of the user or operator. Definitions of these terms should be made based on the contents throughout the specification.

1 is a perspective view of the moxibustion mechanism according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the moxibustion mechanism according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a portion A of FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the portion A of FIG. 2, which is an enlarged cross-sectional view after the deformation of the bimetal of the moxibustion mechanism according to the present invention.

Moxibustion apparatus according to the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 to 2, comprises a body 100, the air supply hole 200, the blocking unit 300 and the combustion cylinder 400.

The body 100 is to accommodate the moxibustion material therein, is formed in a columnar shape of the upper opening. At this time, the height of the body 100 is formed in consideration of the time to lift the moxibustion together with the area of the bottom surface of the body 100.

In other words, when the moxibustion needs to be left for a long time, the amount of the moxibustion material is required a lot, so that the height of the body 100 is increased to accommodate more the moxibustion material on the body 100, Make the area wider.

In addition, the body 100, the cover for covering the open upper portion of the body 100 in order to block the combustion air for the combustion of the moxibustion material is supplied via the upper portion of the body (100) 110 may be provided. That is, without the cover 110, as described below, even if the blocking unit 300 blocks the combustion air supplied through the air supply hole 200, the combustion air is the body 100 It may flow into the top of the. Therefore, a cover 110 is required to cover the open top of the body 100. However, the cover 120 should be provided with a discharge hole 112 through which the discharge gas discharged after the moxibustion material is burned out.

In addition, the bottom of the body 100 may be provided with a far-infrared generator 120 for generating far-infrared rays by the heat generated during the combustion of the moxibustion material. That is, by using the far-infrared generating unit 120 made of jade, elvan, cobalt, bioceramic, etc. provided at the bottom of the body 100, in addition to the moxibustion treatment effect to promote blood circulation through the temperature rise of the subcutaneous depth layer. The treatment effect by far infrared rays such as can also be enjoyed at the same time.

In this case, in order to prevent the transfer of heat generated when the moxibustion material is burned by the far infrared ray generating unit 120, the far infrared ray generating unit 120 is provided with a main hole 122 and a subhole 124. . The main hole 122 is disposed at the center of the far-infrared generating unit 120 in order to concentrate the heat generated during combustion of the moxibustion material to the center of the treatment site, and the sub-hole 124 is the moxibustion material. In order to supply the heat generated during combustion of the treatment area, the main hole 122 is disposed in a shape that is radiated about the center. In addition, in the main hole 122, the combustion cylinder 400, which will be described later, may protrude to directly contact the treatment site, thereby increasing the effect of moxibustion.

In addition, a lower end of the body 100 may be provided with a permanent magnet (not shown) for generating a magnetic field downward. That is, through the permanent magnet provided at the bottom of the body 100, in addition to the therapeutic effect of rising moxibustion, hemoglobin can also enjoy the therapeutic effect by the magnetic field, such as promoting blood circulation through the activation of hemoglobin.

On the other hand, the air supply hole 200 to supply the combustion air for burning the moxibustion material, is provided on the side of the body 100 to communicate with the outside.

In particular, the air supply hole 200 is formed in the lower portion of the body 100 in a V shape curved toward the lower side, which is the exhaust gas generated by the combustion of the moxibustion material through the air supply hole 200 This is to prevent the discharge.

That is, since the exhaust gas is lighter than the combustion air, the air supply hole 200 is provided at the upper side, or the air supply hole 200 is formed horizontally or toward the outside of the body 100. When formed at a high inclination, since the discharge gas is likely to be discharged toward the air supply hole 200, the air supply hole 200 has a V shape curved toward a lower side of the lower part of the body 100. Is formed.

In addition, in the case of supplying the combustion air, it is generally advantageous to supply the air from the upper side to the lower side than from the lower side to the upper side in view of the air pressure, so that the air supply hole 200 Is facing the outside of the body 100 is provided in the position where the combustion air is first supplied is higher than the curved portion inside the body 100.

On the other hand, the blocking unit 300 is to prevent the burn of the surgical site due to excessive supply of heat generated during the combustion of the moxibustion material, by closing the air supply hole 200 to prevent the inflow of the combustion air By blocking, the combustion of the moxibustion material is reduced to regulate the supply of heat generated during combustion of the moxibustion material.

The blocking unit 300 is provided to correspond to the air supply hole 200 is formed in the inner portion of the body 100, it is composed of a bimetal 310 and the blocking member 320.

In this case, the bimetal 310 is made by overlaying two kinds of thin metals having different degrees of expansion and contraction according to a change in temperature, and are deformed by heat generated during combustion of the moxibustion material.

That is, in the bimetal 310, when a metal having a small thermal expansion ratio is disposed toward the blocking member 320, which will be described later, a metal having a large thermal expansion coefficient due to heat generated during combustion of the moxibustion material has a small thermal expansion coefficient. More expansion than the metal is bent toward the blocking member 320. The bending of the bimetal 310, as described below, presses the blocking member 320 to close the air supply hole 200.

On the other hand, the blocking member 320 is pressed by the deformation of the bimetal 310, to close the air supply hole 200, one side is coupled to the inner side of the body 100, the other side is The expansion rate of the bimetal 310 faces a small metal.

That is, the air supply hole 200 may also be closed only by the bimetal 310, but by using the blocking member 320, the air supply hole 200 may be stably closed by the bimetal 310 alone. It solves the problem of not closing the air supply hole 200 when there is no problem and the shape changes due to repeated deformation of the bimetal 310.

The blocking member 320, since the air supply hole 200 must be opened again after the combustion of the moxibustion material is terminated later, it should be elastically biased in the direction of opening the air supply hole 200. In addition, a heat-resistant elastic member (not shown) is provided at the point where the blocking member 320 and the air supply hole 200 is in contact, even if the function is degraded due to repeated deformation of the bimetal 310, It is preferable to close the air supply hole 200.

On the other hand, the combustion cylinder 400 is to increase the durability of the body 100 by preventing the heat by the combustion of the moxibustion material is not directly transmitted to the body 100, and accommodates the moxibustion material therein, It is provided detachably in the body (100).

The combustion cylinder 400 is formed of a material having a higher thermal conductivity than the body 100 so as not to prevent supply of heat due to combustion of the moxibustion material to the lower side, and perforated to facilitate air circulation and heat dissipation. It is formed into a mesh. At this time, since the heat by the combustion of the moxibustion material is supplied to the lower side, the combustion cylinder 200 may be formed in a net shape only the lower side. Alternatively, only the portion of the far-infrared generator 120 that contacts the treatment site via the main hole 122 may be formed in a net shape.

In addition, the combustion cylinder 200 is provided detachably from the body 100, it is possible to easily resupply the moxibustion material even after the body 100 is fixed to the treatment site. In addition, when the far infrared ray generating unit 130 to be described later is not provided, a far infrared ray generating material (not shown) may be coated on the lower surface of the combustion cylinder 200, in particular, the surface in contact with the treatment site.

Hereinafter, a process of operating the moxibustion apparatus according to the present invention having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

First, the body 100 is fixed so as not to move to the surgical site to leave the moxibustion, the moxibustion material is put into the combustion cylinder 400 and burned. Thereafter, the upper portion of the body 100 is covered using the cover 110.

As such, when the moxibustion starts, the combustion air is supplied through the air supply hole 200 to burn the moxibustion material contained in the combustion cylinder 400, and the procedure site is caused by the combustion of the moxibustion material. Heat is supplied. At this time, the exhaust gas generated by the combustion is discharged through the discharge hole 112 provided in the cover 110.

Thereafter, after a predetermined time, heat is sufficiently supplied to the treatment site, and at the same time, heat is also supplied to the bimetal 310 and starts to deform. That is, the bimetal 310 is expanded toward the blocking member 320 facing the bimetal 310 due to the expansion of the metal having a high thermal expansion rate higher than that of the metal having a low thermal expansion rate. Such curvature of the bimetal 310 causes the blocking member 320 to be pressed, and the air supply hole 200 is closed by the blocking member 320.

When the air supply hole 200 is closed, the combustion air supplied to the moxibustion material is no longer supplied, thereby gradually reducing the combustion of the moxibustion material. As described above, since the combustion of the moxibustion material is gradually reduced, it is possible to prevent burns at the treatment site, which is an effect of the present invention.

On the other hand, when sufficient heat is supplied to the treatment site, the far-infrared ray generation unit 130 supplies far-infrared rays to the treatment site to promote blood circulation through the temperature rise of the subcutaneous layer, and in the permanent magnet 140, the procedure. By supplying a magnetic field to the site, the activation of hemoglobin promotes circulation blood circulation.

The embodiments of the present invention described above and illustrated in the drawings should not be construed as limiting the technical idea of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is limited only by the matters described in the claims, and those skilled in the art can change and change the technical idea of the present invention in various forms. Therefore, such improvements and modifications will belong to the protection scope of the present invention as long as it will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
