Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic electrothermal moxibustion machine using electric heat for stimulating a moxibustion point (acupuncture point) by a mechanical device and a temperature (heat) adjusting circuit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art According to the science of acupuncture and moxibustion medicine, the practice of moxibustion (moxibustion) is the same as acupuncture (acupuncture) by stimulating only the acupuncture points and giving an effective reaction to the acupuncture points. There is no other way to do it, and the method is to use the moxa, and the range of moxibustion is wide, and in some cases, it is surprisingly often that the skin gets burned due to unnecessarily high heat and it causes great pain. There was a problem that the affected part had a long healing period and the scar remained for a long time.

However, it can be said that there is no great difference in effect between the conventional method of applying moxibustion and moxibustion and the improved method which is performed later. Both the conventional method and the improved method both stimulate the affected area or acupuncture points by burning the mole as a moxa and heat it, and the improved formula is a method of performing the treatment without directly giving the moxa fire and heat to the skin. Is. That is, even if an appropriate film is placed between the skin and the gusset or a gap is provided to prevent the gusset fire from coming into direct contact with the skin, the center temperature of the fire of the burning hump is as high as several hundred degrees. Because of this, depending on the person and part of the body, it is very likely to suffer severe pain and burns.

There is also a method in which dry smoke is put in a smoke burning cylinder or the like and smoke is applied, but this method is different from the principle of moxibustion by acupuncture and moxibustion acupuncture, and is a method of smoking by smoke of smoke. However, when using this method, it is a hot-press method in which a wide range of treatments are performed at one time.

[0005]

When moxibustion is applied, the sensible temperature differs between men and women of all ages such that the back and palm of the hand are different, and there is a great difference between the soft and hard parts. However, low-temperature irritation should be given to sensitive skin or soft areas, and slightly high-temperature strong irritation to areas such as hard skin, but this is not the case with conventional or improved moxibustion. There was a drawback that was impossible. The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and devises a more efficient and efficient rapid and accurate moxibustion treatment method.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the method of moxibustion according to the present invention has a temperature (heat) adjusting circuit to provide an appropriate temperature within and outside of 50 ° C. Acupuncture points (acupuncture points) provided with conical stimulating rod acupuncture needles held at a high temperature (for example, a large number of conical rod acupuncture needles having a diameter of about 0.1 mm to 1 mm can be replaced as needed). It gives a stimulus to the subject and is about 0.5 ~
It only needs to be stimulated at an interval of 3 seconds, and the degree of penetration of thermal stimulation changes depending on the pressure of the rod acupuncture, and temperature control and stimulation control can be freely adjusted according to the situation of the treatment. There is.

In this electric circuit, the + side of the heating bulb L and the variable resistor VR connected to the resistor R ₁ and the capacitor C ₁ are connected to the bridge circuit, and the variable resistor VR is connected to the resistor R ₆ , the light emitting diode LED and the gate of the thyristor SCR. When the terminals are connected to operate the thyristor SCR so that the heating bulb L is turned on, and the voltage of the thyristor SCR decreases as the temperature rises and the secondary current turns off, the direct current from the bridge circuit changes. It is applied to the resistor VR, bistable resistance to the input terminal of the Marti vibrator IC R ₃ and resistor voltage at the connection point between the capacitor C ₂ R ₄
Through the resistor R ₅ from the output terminal of the bistable multivibrator IC to the connection point between the resistor R ₆ and the light emitting diode LED, and the other terminal of the light emitting diode LED is connected to the gate terminal of the thyristor SCR. It is a temperature control circuit configured by connecting to.

The operation and effect of the mechanical device section and the electrical temperature control circuit section of the present invention thus constructed will be described as follows. First, when power is applied, a DC voltage from the bridge circuit is applied to the + side of the heating bulb L, the resistor R ₁ , the capacitor C ₁ and the variable resistor VR. At this time, if the variable resistor VR (temperature controller) is turned on and adjusted to the maximum position, the voltage applied at this time is applied to the gate terminal of the thyristor SCR through the resistor R ₆ and the light emitting diode LED, and this gate is It is turned on and the heating bulb L is turned on.

In this case, the heat generated by the heating bulb L transfers heat to the stimulating rod 17 and the heat conducting plate made of metal, and this heat is inserted and fixed in the coupling hole 27 at the upper end of the heat conducting plate 24. When the thermometer 26 reaches an appropriate temperature (the temperature at which the therapeutic effect is maximized without causing burns to the skin) by the temperature sensing by 7, the variable resistance VR is adjusted to a lower value so that the current is transferred through the light emitting diode LED. , The voltage of the thyristor SCR drops and the secondary current turns off.

Therefore, in order to always maintain an appropriate temperature, the voltage applied to the variable resistor VR through the bridge circuit is applied to the input side of the bistable multivibrator IC, and the pulse voltage is applied by the resistor R ₃ and the capacitor C _2. If it is continuously generated and the output side of the bistable multivibrator IC is applied to the light emitting diode LED through the resistor R ₅ , the light emitting diode LED flickers due to the pulse voltage and the pulse voltage is also applied to the gate terminal of the thyristor SCR. Therefore, since the thyristor SCR continuously repeats the ON / OFF operation, the heating light bulb L also repeats the flicker of lighting and extinguishing.
The temperature inside the conical heat insulating cap 29 can be continuously maintained at an appropriate temperature.

Therefore, when the thermometer 26 of the main body 1 indicates the above-mentioned proper temperature, the stimulating rod 17 and the heat conducting plate 2 under the main body 1 are provided.
4 and the conical heat-insulating cap 29 maintain the proper temperature. In this case, the stimulation rod 17 having the proper temperature, that is, the conical acupuncture needle 18 is used to give stimulation along the moxibustion point (acupuncture point). Therefore, it is possible to freely adjust the temperature and the stimulus by changing the speed and the pressure of the stimulus given by the conical acupuncture needle 18, and the degree of the stimulus.

The operation relationship will be described with reference to FIGS. First, place the index finger on the finger rings 44, 44a of the main body 1 and apply the lower end of the outer cap 32 to the moxibustion point (acupuncture point),
The push button 2 protruding to one side of the ceiling cover plate 38 at the upper part of the main body
When 3 is pressed, the motions that are pressed by the operating rod 5, the connecting tool 5a, the connecting protrusion 19, the stimulating rod 17, and the conical acupuncture needle 18 are transmitted, so that the moxibustion point can be stimulated. In this case, the length in and out of the conical acupuncture needle 18 can be adjusted by turning the push button 23 screwed to the screw portion 20 of the operating rod 5 and moving the push button 23 up and down. The repulsive action of the operating rod 5 is performed by the force of the spring 21 fitted on the outer periphery of the operating rod 5. In addition, a large number of conical rod acupuncture needles 18 according to the present invention having a tip diameter of about 0.1 mm to 1 mm can be prepared as a set and used by changing them as needed. Moreover, the large number of small holes 34 provided in the body of the outer cap 32 prevent the temperature of the conical heat insulating cap 29 from becoming too high.

[0019]
