一种基于热敏灸疗法的多功能灸疗机的设计与研制

Design and development of a multifunctional moxibustion treatment machine based on heat-sensitive moxibustion therapy

为辅助实施热敏灸疗法,研究设计了一种多功能灸疗机。通过可编程逻辑控制器(PLC)对步进电机的运动控制实现热敏灸腧穴探查、施灸手法的自动化控制;红外非接触式测温技术实时监测皮肤温度,PLC根据温度设定值与监测值的偏差,可以自动调节艾灸装置与施灸部位的距离,实现温度控制。基于热敏灸疗法的多功能灸疗机具有温和灸控制、回旋灸控制、雀啄灸控制、循经灸控制、皮肤温度实时监控功能,温度变化曲线与人工热敏灸一致,实现了辅助实施热敏灸疗法的功能,并且控温效果较好、精度较高。

A multifunctional moxibustion treatment machine is designed and developed to assist the heat-sensitive moxibustion therapy.Through the motion control of the stepping motor by programmable logic controller(PLC),the automatic control is obtained for the acupoint detection of heat-sensitive moxibustion therapy and the manual operation of moxibustion.The skin temperature is monitored in real-time,using infrared non-contact temperature measurement technology.Based on the deviation of the temperature set value and the monitoring one,the distance between the moxibustion device and the exerted region is adjusted automatically by PLC so that the temperature is controlled practically.The multifunctional moxibustion treatment machine based on the heat-sensitive moxibustion therapy is capable of the operation control of mild moxibustion,circling moxibustion,sparrow-pecking moxibustion and along-meridian moxibustion techniques,as well as real-time monitoring of skin temperature.The temperature change curve of this machine is coincident with that obtained by the manual operation of heat-sensitive moxibustion.This multifunctional moxibustion treatment machine assists the delivery of heat-sensitive moxibustion therapy and it is satisfactory in temperature control and precise in operation.
