The moxa stick used in the moxibustion stimulation needs to be dried in order to achieve the best use effect. Most Chinese herbal medicines use fresh ones, but the longer the wormwood is stored, the better. The ancients said: "The disease of seven years requires three years of AI." Because the fresh wormwood smells strong, the use of moxibustion to treat diseases is prone to burning tingling and hurting the blood. Therefore, after the ancients harvested the wormwood into a cashmere, they had to put it for another three years before they were used. The three-year-old wormwood smelled no smell. However, the currently available moxa sticks are made of fresh wormwood, which is very spicy and strong, and it is easy to burn and sting when moxibustion. Therefore, the purchased moxa stick must first be dried and dehumidified, and its strong and strong ingredients can be removed before it can be used as a moxibustion treatment. However, in general, the dehumidification of the dryer in a high temperature manner may deteriorate the moxa stick, which is not preferable. Utilizing the technology of ultra-low humidity, rapid drying and dehumidification at room temperature, it can achieve rapid dehumidification without affecting the quality of moxa. It takes only a short time to simulate the effect of storing three years old. Therefore, the moxa strips used in the present invention are treated by this dry dehumidification technique. The dry and dehumidified moxa sticks, together with the moxibustion device that can accurately control the temperature, allow the operator to safely use moxibustion. Not only can you avoid burns, but you can also adjust the individual treatment temperature according to the temperature range that everyone can tolerate.

Please refer to the second drawing, which is a cross-sectional view of the moxibustion device structure 200 of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention. The moxibustion apparatus 200 of the present invention includes a base 202, a moire receiving device 204, two quick connectors 206 (the other one not shown), two cylinders 208, and a temperature sensing element 212. The base 202 is a hollow structure having two upper and lower openings, and the moire receiving device 204 has a space for accommodating the moxa 210, and a spring piece 2042 is attached to fix the moxa 210. The moire receiving device 204 is a movable element that is coupled to the cylinder 208. When the moire receiving device 204 is driven downwardly by the driving of the cylinder 208, the position of the moxa 210 can be lowered and just passed through the base. Open above 202. The quick joint 206 in this embodiment is disposed at a mid-high position of the moxibustion device 200. Since the air has the characteristics of heat expansion and contraction, the advantage of this design is that the metal-made cylinder 208 is away from the lower combustion portion of the moxa 210. It is not easy to cause the air to be heated and then affect the movement of the cylinder due to the volume expansion. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the moxibustion device 200 includes two quick joints 206 and two cylinders 208 that cause the moxibustion device 200 to be averaged by the force of air propulsion without causing tilting. However, for other setting purposes, the moxibustion device of the present invention can also be configured to include more than two quick connectors and cylinders. The following is a detailed description of the operation of one of the quick couplers 206 and the cylinders 208.

In the second figure, the quick connector 206 includes an air inlet 2062 and two air outlets 2064 that are split into two different directions through the quick connector 206 when air from the air source flows in from the air inlet 206, from two The air outlet 2064 is discharged. The quick joint 206 and the cylinder 208 are interconnected by an air tube 2066. The compressed air passes through the air tube 2066. The compressed air enters the lower inlet 2082 of the cylinder 208 from the air outlet 2064 of the quick joint 206, and the cylinder 208 is driven to generate an upward driving force. The moire receiving device 204 is moved upward. The other upper inlet 2084 of the cylinder 208 receives air from a quick coupler (not shown in the second figure) from the other side of the moxibuster 200, driving the cylinder 208 to generate a downward urging force to cause the moire receiving device 204 moves down.

Please refer to the third figure (A) and the third figure (B), which is an enlarged view of the cylinder in the second figure, in which the direction of the air flow is indicated by an arrow. As shown in the third diagram (A), when air enters from the lower inlet 2082 of the cylinder 208, the piston 2086 of the cylinder 208 is caused to protrude upward, generating upward kinetic energy to move the associated moire receiving device 204 upward. Conversely, as shown in the third diagram (B), when air enters from the upper inlet 2084 of the cylinder 208, the piston 2086 of the cylinder 208 is pulled back, causing the associated moire receiving device 204 to move downward.

Please refer to the fourth drawing, which is a cross-sectional view of an moxibustion device structure 400 in accordance with a second preferred embodiment of the present invention. The moxibustion device 400 of the present invention includes a base 402, a moire receiving device 404, a quick connector 406, a cylinder 408, and a temperature sensing element 412. In addition to configuring the moxibustion device in the manner of the second figure, the cylinder 408 can also be fixed to the position of the moxibustion device 400 close to the base, which is upside down with the configuration direction in the second figure, so that the piston portion faces up with Ai The strip receiving device 404 is connected.

In order to achieve the effect of controlling the moxibustion temperature by using the moxibustion device of the present invention, it is also necessary to connect the moxibustion device with a temperature sensing component to a temperature monitoring device, such as a temperature controller, in addition to monitoring the temperature during use, When the temperature is overheated, the direction of the air supply is changed, so that the moxa strip is away from the user's skin. If the temperature drops below the predetermined temperature, the direction of the air supply can be changed again so that the moxa stick approaches the user's skin. The manner in which the temperature monitoring device is used to control the action of the moxibustion device will be described in detail below.

Please refer to the fifth figure, which is a system for controlling moxibustion temperature in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the fifth figure, the system includes an moxibustion device 510, a temperature controller 520, and an air compressor 530. The moxibustion device 510 is provided with a temperature sensing element connected to the temperature controller 520 via a wire 540. The temperature controller 520 is provided with a solenoid valve 560 for determining the air supply direction of the air from the air compressor 530. The solenoid valve 560 is connected to two air inlets in the moxibustion device 510 to provide air from different air inlets. To control the direction in which the moxa sticks in the moxibustion device 510 move. After the power is turned on, the temperature in the base of the moxibustion device 510 is detected by the temperature sensing element. When the temperature in the base is higher than a predetermined temperature, the direction of the air inflow is controlled by the foregoing control method, causing the position of the moxa to rise. When the temperature in the base drops below another predetermined temperature, the solenoid valve 560 selects to provide air via the other air inlet to lower the moire position.

The invention controls the temperature of the moxibustion device in a pneumatic manner, and only needs to provide a device for supplying air, for example, an air compressor, which can push the moxa to reciprocate without a complicated motor or an expensive microcomputer system. The moxibustion device can be applied to the surface of various parts of the patient without causing burns.

The devices disclosed above are all pneumatic moxibustion devices. However, in addition to this driving method, the moxibustion device of the present invention further includes other changes, such as an moxibustion device driven by the principle of electromagnetic induction, during temperature control. It can also be used as a different consideration. These other temperature controlled moxibustion devices are illustrated below by several embodiments.

Please refer to a sixth diagram (A) which is a cross-sectional view of the moxibustion device construction 600 of the third preferred embodiment of the present invention before use. The moxibustion device 600 of the present invention includes a base 602, a driving device 604, and a temperature sensing element 606. The base 602 and the driving device 604 are both hollow structures, each having two upper and lower openings, and the driving device 604 is disposed on the base 602 such that the base 602 and the central hollow structure of the driving device 604 are coherent. In the present embodiment, the driving device 604 is composed of a plurality of magnetic layers and arranged around the hollow structure, the first magnetic layer 6041 is disposed at the uppermost portion, and the second magnetic layer 6042 is positioned below the first magnetic layer 6041 and the third magnetic layer 6043 is located below the second magnetic layer 6042. A spring 6044 (or other elastic element) is disposed in the driving device 604, and is disposed between the second magnetic layer 6042 and the third magnetic layer 6043, and is further provided with a spring piece 6045 fixed on the second magnetic layer 6042. For easy understanding, each magnetic layer in the sixth figure (A) is represented by two coils, as shown in the sixth figure (A), in use, the moxa 608 passes through the upper opening of the base 602, and the moxa 608 is via The spring piece 6045 is tightly coupled to the second magnetic layer 6042. The magnetic layers are not magnetic before the energization, so the moxa 608 is biased away from the base 602 by the spring force of the spring 6044.

Please refer to the sixth figure (B), which is a cross-sectional view of the moxibustion device of the sixth figure (A) in use. As shown in FIG. 6(B), a current is supplied to generate a magnetic force in the magnetic layer, wherein the first magnetic layer 6041 and the second magnetic layer 6042 are mutually repelled due to the principle of the same polarity repulsive, and the second magnetic layer is pushed toward the second magnetic layer. The three magnetic layers attract the second magnetic layer 6042 and the third magnetic layer 6043 by mutual attraction, thereby compressing the spring 6044 to lower the position of the moxa 608 and approaching the base 602. When energized, since the directions of the two coils in each magnetic layer are arranged in opposite directions, the magnetic poles generated at the lowermost ends of the two rows of coils in the sixth diagram (B) are the N pole and the S pole, respectively, and the magnetic lines of force are transmitted from the S pole to the S pole. N pole, a magnetic field 610 is formed under the moxa 608, which enhances the effect of moxibustion. On the other hand, if the directions of the two coils in each magnetic layer are arranged in the same direction, only a weak magnetic field is generated, but the height position of the moxa 608 can still be controlled. After the power is applied, the temperature sensing element is used to detect the temperature in the base 602, and the current is interrupted when the temperature in the base 602 is higher than a predetermined temperature.

The moxibustion device 600 in the sixth figure is a device directly combining the moxibustion temperature and the applied magnetic field, and uses the principle of the same polarity repulsive and heteropolar attraction of the electromagnetic coil to control the position of the moxa stick, and the electromagnetic coil itself A small constant magnetic field can be generated, and a magnetic field change occurs when the coil is turned on or off. The variable magnetic field can excite the cells near the acupoint to generate an induced electromotive force and a trace bio-current to achieve the effect of activating the acupoint.

Since the magnetic force generated by the electromagnetic coil generates a magnetic field, it must be able to offset the force of the spring, so the magnetic field is designed to be constant and belongs to a constant magnetic field type moxibustion device. The advantage of this moxibustion device is that the electromagnetic coil is cheap and inexpensive, and the temperature and the applied magnetic field can be simultaneously controlled at a very low cost.

Please refer to the seventh drawing (A), which is a cross-sectional view of the moxibustion device structure 700 of the fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention before use. The moxibustion apparatus 700 of the present invention comprises a base 702, a driving device 704 and a temperature sensing component 706. The driving device 704 further comprises a movable component 708, such as a linear sliding rail, for fixing the moxa 710 and assisting driving. The device 704 moves in the vertical direction to move the moxa 710 through the upper opening of the base 702 to move up and down. In the present embodiment, the drive unit 704 is a drive motor. The front strip 710 is fixed at a higher position away from the base 702 before being applied. As shown in the seventh diagram (C), the rear drive motor 704 moves the linear slide downward to lower the position of the moxa 710. Approaching the base 702. In the embodiment provided in the seventh diagram (A), the drive unit 704 does not have the ability to generate a uniform magnetic field.

If a magnetic field is to be applied to the moxibustion device 700, a magnetic layer 712 may be disposed above the base 702 in an arrangement around the moxa 710 (as shown in FIG. 7B). When the electromagnetic coil is energized, the lowermost ends of the two rows of coils are generated. The magnetic poles are N and S poles respectively, and the magnetic lines of force are conducted from the S pole to the N pole, which can generate a magnetic field 714 after energization (as shown in Figure 7C). After the power is applied, the temperature sensing element 706 is used to detect the temperature in the base 702. When the temperature in the base 702 is higher than a predetermined temperature, the driving motor 704 drives the linear slide 708 to move the moxa 710 upward.

Please refer to FIG. 8(A), which is a cross-sectional view of the moxibustion device construction 800 of the fifth preferred embodiment of the present invention before use. In this embodiment, the driving device 804 is a linear motor that can be moved up and down, and the driving device 804 is connected to a fixing component 808, such as a fixing clip, for fixing the moxa 810 and the driving device 804, and with the driving device 804 The position of the moxa 810 is adjusted to move so that the moxa 810 passes through the upper opening of the base 802. The moxa 810 and linear motor 804 are located at a higher position away from the base 802 before being applied. After the application, the linear motor 804 moves downward, causing the position of the moxa 810 to drop, approaching the base 802. Similarly, the moxibustion device 800 can also be provided with a magnetic layer 812 disposed above the base 802 around the arrangement of the moxa 810 (as shown in FIG. 8B). When the electromagnetic coil is energized, the magnetic poles generated at the lowermost ends of the two rows of coils are respectively It is the N pole and the S pole, and the magnetic field line is conducted from the S pole to the N pole, which can generate a magnetic field 814 after being energized (as shown in the eighth figure C). After the application, the temperature sensing element 806 is used to detect the temperature in the base 802. When the temperature in the base 802 is higher than a predetermined temperature, the linear motor 804 drives the fixing member 808 and the moxa 810 to move it upward.

The moxibustion device provided in the seventh and eighth figures is a separate device for controlling the moxibustion temperature and the applied magnetic field, and is a linear motor or a general motor with a linear motion mechanism, and uses its linear activity characteristic with a microcomputer system. Control the position of the moxa stick. In this moxibustion device, two separate electromagnetic coils are additionally used to generate a magnetic field, independent of the components that drive the moire moving. Since the coil itself does not participate in the work of moving the moxa, the magnetic field strength is not limited, and can be arbitrarily adjusted, and the type of the magnetic field is not limited. It can be a constant magnetic field or an alternating magnetic field of various frequencies, and is a magnetic field adjustable moxibustion device. The advantage is that the moxa strip can be moved to any position by the linear movable mechanism, and the type of the magnetic field can also be arbitrarily changed. The time of the magnetization can be controlled by the program, and the magnetism is not limited to when the moxa stick is lowered, and the elasticity is large.

Please refer to the ninth drawing (A), which is a cross-sectional view of the moxibustion device structure 900 of the sixth preferred embodiment of the present invention before use. In this embodiment, the driving device 904 is a solenoid valve, which includes an electromagnetic coil and an elastic member (not shown). The driving device 904 is connected to a fixing member 908, such as a fixing clip, for fixing the moxa 910. The position of the moxa 910 is adjusted as the driving device 904 is moved up and down. The moxa 910 is located at a higher position away from the base 902 before the solenoid valve 904 has been energized. As shown in the ninth diagram (C), after the energization, the solenoid valve 904 is pushed downward, and the position of the moxa 910 is lowered via the fixing member 908. Since the coils in the driving device 904 are unable to generate a uniform magnetic field, when a magnetic field is required to be applied, the magnetic layer 912 can be disposed (as shown in FIG. 9B) to generate a magnetic field 914 after energization (as in FIG. 9C). After the power is turned on, the temperature sensing element 906 is used to detect the temperature in the base 902. When the temperature in the base 902 is higher than a predetermined temperature, the current is interrupted, and the moxa 910 is returned to the original position.

Compared with other embodiments of the present invention, the moxibustion device 900 achieves the function of controlling the magnetic field by using a program at a relatively low cost because the solenoid valve and the magnetic layer 912 controlling the position of the moxa 910 are mutually independent components, the magnetic field strength and type. They are all unrestricted and can be adjusted at will. On the other hand, the solenoid valve is constructed of a coil, which is lower in cost than a general motor or a linear motor, but can also achieve linear activity. The temperature control systems used in the above third to sixth embodiments are similar to the first and second embodiments.

In addition to controlling the temperature by the moxibustion apparatus configuration shown in the second to ninth figures, those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention further includes other operational changes and is not limited to the scope of the above embodiments. For example, compressed air can enter the cylinder through a single inlet, pushing the moire containment device to create motion. The single-inlet cylinder has a single-acting cylinder and a double-acting cylinder. The single-acting cylinder is provided with a spring. The compressed air can push the piston to move in one direction, and the spring is forced to return to the original position without being pushed by the compressed air. . Another type of double-acting cylinder is to make the cylinder into a vacuum state through the same inlet when moving in the opposite direction, and also achieve the effect of reciprocating motion.

When using the moxibustion device, first place the moxa stick in the space in the center of the moxibustion device and ignite the moxa stick to make it slightly smoldering, then place the moxibustion device on the patient's acupuncture point, and then turn on the power to control the airflow. By moving the moxa up or down with the piston of the cylinder by different air supply directions (ie via different air inlets), when the moxa is pushed down to the position close to the skin, the heat of the moxa can be transmitted to the acupuncture points of the skin. On the top, the effect of local warming is formed, and the acupuncture is allowed to perform moxibustion. During use, it lasts about 20 minutes each time and 2-6 times a week.

The temperature controller connected to the moxibustion device can control the air supply direction of the compressed air through the electromagnetic valve to control the temperature inside the moxibustion device. The temperature range is between 40 and 50 ° C, which can be adjusted according to the temperature that each person can tolerate, to avoid burns caused by overheating. When the temperature exceeds the preset value of the temperature controller, the air supply direction of the compressed air changes, and the cylinder piston in the moxibustion device protrudes upward, so that the moxa stick returns to a higher position away from the skin, causing the temperature to drop; when the temperature is low At the preset value, the direction of the compressed air supply gas is changed again, so that the cylinder piston is pulled back, and the strip is pushed closer to the skin.

Another common problem with moxibustion is that it can't eliminate the fumes produced by burning wormwood. However, the fumes produced by these burnings contain the main components of the curative effect, which are effective through the acupuncture points in contact with the skin. Efficacy and avoiding excessive inhalation of fumes have become an important issue in the use of moxibustion devices. In order to maintain the health of patients receiving moxibustion and the medical staff who are applying moxibustion, in addition to the fumes used for the treatment part, other cigarettes that do not participate in the treatment in the air must be filtered out.

The invention further provides a method for exhausting smoke for moxibustion, which can produce a good filtering effect by using the moxibustion device or the conventional moxibustion device in the above embodiment. In the smoke evacuation method of the present invention, the soot produced by the moxibustion device is first collected by a container, and then the smoke is extracted into a filter box for preliminary filtration. The first step is to use static electricity to eliminate the soot particles. In the second step, the activated carbon is used to eliminate the smell of the soot. After the initial filtration, about 80% of the soot can be eliminated, and the filtered gas is discharged into the atmosphere and then passed through the atmosphere. The dilution can avoid air pollution.

The smoke evacuation method of the present invention will be described below using a specific exhaust device. Figure 10 (A) (B) is an exploded view (A) and a combined schematic view (B) of the smoke exhausting device and the moxibustion device of the present invention, respectively, comprising an amolyzer 1000 and a soot collecting container 1002, the soot collecting The container 1002 has a movable switch 1004. When closed, a closed space can be provided on the periphery of the moxibustion device 1000 (as shown in FIG. 10(B)), and the soot burned by the wormwood is collected through a connecting pipe 1006 to a filter. In the box 1008.

Fig. 11 is an enlarged plan view showing the inside of the filter cartridge 1100 in the smoke evacuation device used in the present invention. When the soot enters the filter cartridge 1100, it is first blocked by the pre-filter 1102 and then enters an ionization zone 1104 to ionize the soot gas. Through the ionization process, the soot particles will carry a large number of positive and negative ions. After the ions pass through the ionization region 1104, based on the principle of charge anisotropic attraction, they move to the oppositely-charged collector electrode plate 1106 and are attached thereto. The electrode plate 1106 is collected such that the air passing through the filter cartridge 1100 is an air without soot particles.

After electrostatic filtration, in order to remove the remaining soot taste, the air is further filtered with activated carbon. The embodiment of the activated carbon filtration may be an activated carbon filter tank. After being connected to the filter cartridge, the activated carbon filter tank is provided with one or more layers of activated carbon filters, and the number of the sieves is designed according to actual needs.

Figure 12 is a schematic flow chart of the method for exhausting smoke of the present invention. In the overall spatial planning, when the moxibustion treatment is performed, once the soot is generated by burning the wormwood, the fumes that do not participate in the treatment part are taken out, guided to another space to be filtered by a filter box 1200, and then The activated carbon filter tank 1202 is filtered, and finally the filtered air is discharged to the atmosphere using an aspirating device 1204.

The smoke evacuation method disclosed above also has other alternatives, for example, the first step uses negative ions to eliminate soot particles, and the second step uses activated carbon to filter. If the negative ion is used to filter the soot, the treatment room for the moxibustion treatment needs to be evacuated to become a negative pressure space, and then the extracted gas is guided to another space for filtration. Therefore, the user can adjust the spatial planning according to the process of exhausting smoke.
