Abstract:
Objective To explore a modular moxibustion box design scheme according to the thought of "developing appropriate treatment according to three disease causes" and the demand of therapy innovation to develop a modular moxibustion box with function switching and personalized customization, which uses traditional moxa sticks and can automatically control temperature.
Methods The moxibustion box was divided into control module and treatment module by modular design method. Combining micro- and nano-temperature sensor and pulse bandwidth modulation chip, the automatic temperature control function of traditional moxa stick was realized.
Results Single point moxibustion and multi-point moxibustion were designed. The functions of switching moxibustion sites and personalized adjustment were realized by disassembling and assembling the module, and the feasibility of modular moxibustion box in structure was verified. After the temperature test, the average temperature of single point moxibustion and multi-point moxibustion at 45℃ in the test stationary period was 45.68℃ and 45.12℃ respectively under the condition of firing moxa stick.
Conclusion The moxibustion box designed retains the function of traditional moxibustion with moxa sticks and realizes intelligent temperature control. Based on the modular method, it can adapt to a variety of use scenarios, with high cost performance and great application potential. It provides a new method and idea for the design of moxibustion box and even traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment equipment.
