How Do the Motor, Guide Rail, and Moxibustion Head Work Together?

How do intelligent moxibustion robots achieve automated and precise moxibustion applications? The key lies in their sophisticated internal structural design. This article will explain their core structure, focusing on three key components: the drive motor, the precision guide rail system, and the moxibustion actuator. We will reveal how the motor provides power, how the guide rail transmits motion and achieves precise positioning, and how the moxibustion actuator ultimately performs moxibustion treatments and provides coordinated feedback. By understanding how these components work together, you will gain a clearer understanding of the automated operation of modern moxibustion robots.

Core Components

Removing the outer shell of an intelligent moxibustion robot reveals its core functional modules:

• Drive Motor: Serves as the system's power source, providing the necessary kinetic energy for device operation.

• Precision Guide Rail: Connects to the motor output and forms the basic structure for motion transmission and positioning.

• Moxibustion actuator: Fixed to the guide rail slider, it is the end component that directly performs the moxibustion treatment.

These three core components work seamlessly together: the motor outputs power to drive the guide rail; the guide rail guides the moxibustion actuator precisely along a pre-set path; and ultimately, the moxibustion actuator reaches the target position for moxibustion application. This coordinated process forms the foundation of automated moxibustion.

Drive and Positioning: The Collaboration of Motors and Guide Rails

The core of the device's precise movement of the moxibustion head lies in the precise coordination of the motor and guide rail system:

1. Power Output: Upon receiving a command from the control system, the motor activates and generates rotational power.

2. Power Transmission: The motor's rotational motion is converted into linear motion through a transmission mechanism (such as gears, a timing belt, or a lead screw) and transmitted to the guide rail system.

3. Precision Guidance: The guide rail serves as a high-precision linear motion reference, constraining and guiding the slider, to which the moxibustion head is attached, for smooth movement in a predetermined direction.

4. Precise Control: By precisely adjusting the motor's speed, direction, and stroke, the control system achieves high-precision control of the slider's position, speed, and travel distance on the guide rail. This precise control of the motion trajectory provides the core guarantee for the moxibustion head to accurately reach and stably apply pressure to acupuncture points on the human body.

Moxibustion Execution and Coordinated Positioning

The moxibustion head is the direct actuator of moxibustion application. Its precise positioning and stability are crucial and highly dependent on the front-end drive and positioning system:

• Motion Foundation: The motor and guide rail system provide the precise motion required for the moxibustion head to reach the target position. Perception and Feedback: Moxibustion heads typically integrate key sensors (such as temperature sensors and micro-pressure sensors) to monitor the temperature and relative position/pressure information at the point of contact with the skin in real time.

• Closed-Loop Control: Sensor data is fed back to the control system in real time. The system analyzes the difference between the current state and the target state and immediately generates fine-tuning commands, driving the motor to make subtle adjustments to the moxibustion head's spatial position (X, Y, and Z axes) and application height.

• Precise Moxibustion: This dynamic fine-tuning mechanism based on real-time feedback ensures that the moxibustion head not only reaches the acupuncture point as programmed, but also adapts to individual body surface variations, delivering heat precisely and stably to the target area throughout the moxibustion process, optimizing thermal penetration.

This teardown clearly demonstrates how the main components of the intelligent moxibustion robot work together. The motor provides power, driving the guide rail for smooth movement. The guide rail acts like a track, guiding the moxibustion head to the desired position. The moxibustion head is the part that directly contacts the human body. Following a pre-programmed procedure and aided by a guide rail, it accurately locates the moxibustion point and delivers a gentle warmth. Therefore, the motor, guide rail, and moxibustion head are all integrally linked, ensuring the robot can automatically and safely perform moxibustion. This design makes moxibustion more convenient and comfortable. In the future, as technology advances, these internal components may be upgraded to better serve people's health needs.
