As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the electrical warming needle 100 includes a recess 110 and a needle 120. Here, the electric warm needle 100 puts the moxibustion rod 10 on the stagnation 110 and then supplies an electric current to the stagnation 110 to apply electrical stimulation and thermal stimulation to the skin s. It can be used to stimulate moxibustion while improving the effectiveness of acupuncture.

The stagnation 110 has a lower portion inserted into the skin s. The stagnation 110 is inserted into the skin s to apply electrical and thermal stimuli, and may be made of a harmless material even when inserted into the skin s. For example, the stagnation 110 may be formed of a material that is electrically conductive but harmless to the human body, and will be described in detail later. The lower end of the stagnation 110 is formed in a pointed shape, through which a portion of the stagnation 110 can be inserted into the skin (s).

The stagnation 110 may be formed of the needle tip 111 inserted into the skin s and the needle tip 112 supporting the moxibustion rod 10 to be described later. Detailed descriptions of the needle tip 111 and the needle tip 112 constituting the stagnation 110 will be described later.

Needle bottle 120 surrounds a portion of the upper side of the stagnation 110, there is formed a space for storing the moxa rod 10 surrounding the stagnation 110 therein. The needle bottle 120 is formed to be thicker than the stagnation 110 to serve as a handle and at the same time to prevent the smoke from leaking to the outside during the combustion of the moxibustion rod 10, it may be formed in a hollow cylindrical shape.

Specifically, the lower opening 120a for passing through the recess 110 may be formed at the lower portion of the needle 120. That is, when the lower opening 120a of the needle 120 passes through the recess 110, the upper inner surface of the needle 120 is supported at the top of the recess 110 so that the needle 120 is coupled to the recess 110. .

In addition, a step 112a is formed at an upper end of the recess 110, that is, the upper end of the needle 112, and thus the lower opening 120a and the upper opening 120b of the needle 120 pass through the needle 112. By doing so, the upper inner surface of the needle 120 may be seated on the stepped portion 112a of the needle portion 112. Then, since the upper portion of the needle 120 is not inclined from the recess 110, the procedure can be easily performed.

1 to 2, the stagnation 110 may be formed of the needle tip 111 and the needle tip 112.

The immersion part 111 is exposed to the outside of the needle bottle 120, and transmits an electrical stimulation signal of the current supplied from the outside to the skin s. Sedimentation part 111 is a portion that is inserted into the skin (s) to form a lower portion of the stagnation 110, it may be formed of a conductive material. However, the immersion part 111 is preferably formed of a material that current flows but does not generate heat. Specifically, the immersion part 111 may be formed of a material that is non-heating upon supply of a current having a frequency of 100 Hz or less, for example, may be formed of stainless steel or nickel material. Since stainless steel and nickel have good electrical conductivity and are not easily corroded, they are easy to use as the immersion part 111.

As such, as the electrical stimulation signal is transmitted to the skin s through the immersion part 111, whenever the direction of the electric current supplied from the outside changes, molecules constituting the body tissues vibrate and rub with each other to rotate, twist, and Impingement movement, thereby enabling the delivery of the stimulation of the stagnation 110 deeper to the treatment site can be increased acupuncture effect.

The needle part 112 forms an upper part of the stagnation 110 and is disposed inside the needle bottle 120. The needle part 112 may generate heat by a current to ignite the moxibustion rod 10. Specifically, the immersion unit 112 may be formed of a conductive material, and may be formed of a material that generates heat by a current having a frequency in a range of 1 Hz to 100 Hz. That is, the needle unit 112 may be formed of a material that generates heat when current flows. In one example, the needle part 112 may be formed of a nichrome material having good thermal conductivity.

In this way, as the immersion unit 112 is heated by the current supplied, it is possible to ignite the moxibustion rod 10 without a separate ignition device such as a torch.

As a result, the temperature of body tissues is increased, thereby increasing the function of cells and increasing blood flow. Will be.

On the other hand, the moxibustion rod 10 is for applying heat stimulation to the skin (s) by transferring heat to the stagnation 110, it may be formed to spirally surround the stagnation 110. In detail, the moxibustion rod 10 may be formed to spirally surround the needle tip 112. The moxa bar 10 is preferably formed by processing wormwood, but is not limited thereto.

As the moxibustion rod 10 is formed to spirally enclose the recess 110, the length of the needle bottle 120 may be reduced, and the thermal conductivity may be increased by increasing the contact area with the recess 110. In addition, since the moxibustion rod 10 spirally surrounds the recession 110, the moxibustion rod 10 can be prevented from being separated from the depression 110.

Needle bottle 120 may be formed of a heat insulating material. For example, the needle bottle 120 may be formed of urethane, glass, transparent plastic, or the like. At this time, since the moxibustion rod 10 is disposed inside the needle bottle 120, it is preferable that the moxibustion rod 10 is formed of glass or transparent plastic so that all of the moxibustion rods 10 are burned out. In addition, the needle 120 may be formed in a double manner to improve thermal insulation efficiency.

As the acupuncture bottle 120 is formed of an insulating material as described above, when the needle 110 is inclined during treatment, the acupuncture bottle 120 may reduce the risk of burn when the needle 120 is in contact with the skin s. 120 can stay inside for a long time can increase the moxibustion treatment effect.

As described above, the electric warmer 100 is formed so as to surround the needle bed 120 wound around the moxibustion rod 10, the smoke or soot during the combustion of the moxibustion rod 10 is not leaked to the outside You will be able to perform the procedure in a good environment.

In addition, as the immersion unit 112 is heated by the current supplied to ignite the moxibustion rod 10, the moxibustion rod 10 can be automatically ignited without a separate ignition device such as a torch, thereby increasing usability.

In addition, as the acupuncture bottle 120 is formed of a heat insulating material, the heat of the moxa rod 10 can stay inside the acupuncture bottle 120 for a long time, thereby increasing moxa treatment effect, and even when the stagnation 110 is inclined during the moxibustion rod. The burn due to (10) can be prevented.

As the acupuncture bottle 120 is formed of a heat insulating material as described above, even when the needle 110 is inclined during treatment and the needle bottle 120 touches the skin s, burns due to the heat of the moxa rod 10 can be prevented. In addition, since the heat of the moxibustion rod 10 can stay inside the needle acupuncture 120 for a long time, the therapeutic effect can be increased.

In order to prevent the needle 120 from inclining from the needle 110, a lower opening 120a and an upper opening 120b are formed in the lower and upper portions of the needle 120 to pass through the needle 110. Steps 112a may be formed at the upper end of the 112. Accordingly, the needle bottle 120 may prevent the lower opening 120a and the upper opening 120b from passing through the needle unit 112 and the upper inner surface of the needle bottle 112 to be seated on the step 112a, thereby preventing it from inclining or leaving the needle body 110. It becomes possible.

The current supply unit 130 supplies an electric current to the recess 110 exposed to the outside of the needle 120 to transmit an electrical stimulus signal to the skin s, and simultaneously removes a portion of the recess 110 disposed inside the needle 120. It generates heat to ignite the moxibustion rod 10. Specifically, the current supply unit 130 may be formed to supply a current having a frequency in the range of 1Hz to 100Hz. In this case, the current supply unit 130 may include a variable resistor and an operation unit for supplying a current having a frequency in the range of 1 Hz to 100 Hz to the stagnation 110. Since such a structure is already known, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. Shall be.

On the other hand, the immersion part 111 is formed of a conductive material, it may be non-heating when the supply of a current having a frequency of less than 100Hz. The needle part 112 may be formed of a conductive material, and may generate heat when a current having a frequency in the range of 1 Hz to 100 Hz is supplied.

Accordingly, when the current supply unit 130 supplies a current having a frequency in the range of 1 Hz to 100 Hz to the immersion unit 111, the immersion unit 111 may transmit an electric stimulation signal of the current to the skin s. The bride 112 is heated by a current to ignite the moxibustion rod 10.

A method of using the electric warming device 200 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.
