Design and development of a novel infrared mild moxibustion device
To make up for the shortcomings of traditional mild moxibustion
according to the principle and technical operation characteristics of traditional mild moxibustion
combined with temperature control technology
a novel infrared mild moxibustion device is developed
which is capable of real-time accurate temperature control. This novel infrares mild moxibustion device is composed of a host computer and an infrared radiation head. The host computer includes four modules:power supply
human-computer interaction interface
micro control unit(MCU) and drive circuit. The infrared radiation head mainly includes an infrared heater and a temperature sensor. This novel infrared mild moxibustion device is easy to operate.The electrothermal heating tablet can generate infrared radiation of 3 000-13 000 nm. After the temperature of the infrared heater is stabilized
the range of temperature change is ±0.50 ℃
realizing the goal of precise temperature control. In addition
it can operate moxibustion treatment at multiple acupoints at the same time
which is conducive to the dose-effect evaluation of mild moxibustion.
