Research Of Laser Moxibustion Instrument With Omnibearing And Multiple Path Function

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy of physics combined with pharmacology, also is a significant part of the traditional Chinese medicine therapy. Moxibustion originated in ancient China, is an approach to treatment and regimen through ignited moxa made of wormwood. The application of moxibustion therapy is widely used in medicine, e.g. surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, ENT diseases, especially has special effects on mastitis, prostatitis, cervical spondylosis, diabetes, etc.But in the process of traditional moxibustion, its safety cannot be guaranteed, the treatment process is complex, time consuming, low efficiency, and smoke generated in the process will pollute the environment. Therefore, the development of modern moxibustion instrument is necessary, but also is the future trend of the medical industry.The current laser moxibustion instruments have the following problems: there is no uniform mechanism of moxibustion treatment; no ideal laser radiation intensity control method, moxibustion instruments cannot be complete automatic, laser safety issues, etc. In order to solve the above problems, this thesis studied the mechanism of moxibustion and laser moxibustion; developed two new laser moxibustion instruments with omnibearing and multiple path function; put forward new design ideas of laser acupuncture moxibustion instrument. This thesis mainly includes the following contents:(1) Research on medicine mechanism of traditional moxibustion laser moxibustion. Moxibustion is a multifactorial process, its mechanism of action is more complex, and a unified conclusion has not been formed yet. In this thesis, spectrum of two different types of moxa had been measured, as a reference to select the type of laser device; the temperature field of burning moxa had been analyzed; research on the efficacy of traditional moxibustion and laser moxibustion; Research on temperature field in simulated living organisms irradiated by lase.(2) Design laser moxibustion instrument. Based on the above experimental study, selected the 808nm semiconductor laser as the light source, with optical fiber output, the secondary development of golden orange laser control systems, designed mirror systems and instrument with multi-DOF, and developed the temperature feedback system to ensure treatment safety.(3) Design miniaturized laser moxibustion instrument. To make the instrument structure simpler, operate more convenient, we adopted MSP430 as a control chip, designed hardware and software, developed a new mirror system, improved interpolation algorithm, and produced a small prototype.(4) Design of automatic self-seeking laser acupuncture instrument with multi-spectral laser. In order to improve the treatment function, treatment effect and treatment efficiency, we put forward one new design idea of laser acupuncture moxibustion apparatus, and began to build experimental platform.
