Development and characteristics of automatic ash-removal heat-sensitive moxibustion device

Abstract

An automatic ash-removal heat-sensitive moxibustion device was developed, which could keep relatively constant temperature of heat-sensitive moxibustion, and realize the automatic ignition and automatic ash removal of moxa sticks during heat-sensitive moxibustion. The automatic ash-removal heat-sensitive moxibustion device comprises a bracket and a moxibustion box fixed on the top of the bracket; the bracket is composed of a base and a movable telescopic arm. This device can solve the problems of temperature instability, moxa ash blocking heat transfer and moxa ash falling during heat-sensitive moxibustion, avoiding the scalding caused by moxa ash falling, and reduce the workload of medical staff.设计一款可自动除灰的热敏灸治疗装置——自动除灰热敏灸装置，可保持热敏灸有效温度的相对恒定，同时实现热敏灸时艾条自动点火和自动除灰。自动除灰热敏灸装置包括支架和固定在支架顶端的灸盒两部分，支架由底座和可活动伸缩臂组成。本装置可以解决热敏灸过程中温度不稳定、艾灰阻碍热量传递以及艾灰掉落的问题，避免艾灰掉落对患者造成烫伤，同时可减轻医务人员的工作量。.
