Design and development of a novel infrared mild moxibustion device[J]. Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion, 2023, 43(1): 109-113.DOI: 10.13703/j.0255-2930.20220709-k0003.
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.
