Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of circulating hot compress, in particular to a circulating hot compress control method for improving the external application effect of Zhuang and Yao medicine. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an important part of the medical system with Chinese minority characteristics, Zhuang and Yao medicine is often used to treat diseases such as rheumatism, arthralgia and soft tissue injury. Because it emphasizes the penetration of the body surface and the absorption of the meridians, it is often used in combination with hot compress to promote the release of drug efficacy. However, the traditional hot compress method relies on fixed time or fixed temperature control, and does not consider the heat sensitivity changes of skin tissue in the continuous hot compress process, which easily leads to the attenuation of therapeutic effect or the decrease of skin tolerance, and therefore it is urgent to establish a dynamic regulation mechanism coupled with the individual heat response state to ensure the precise matching of the effective release window of the external application medicine and the heat stimulation time.

[0003] In the existing practice of Zhuang and Yao medicine external application heat therapy, hot compress usually adopts a fixed time interval and constant temperature strategy, without distinguishing the heat dissipation speed of the patient's skin, the deep heat accumulation state and the heat sensitivity recovery rhythm, resulting in that most of the hot compress process deviates from the individual true heat response state. Specifically, when the skin has not fully dissipated heat, the hot compress is restarted, which may cause local heat sensitivity numbness or heat retention overload, and vice versa, if the hot compress is delayed for too long, the high efficiency period of drug release will be missed.

[0004] The above technical deficiencies mainly result from the lack of real-time identification capability of the traditional hot compress control system for the cooling state of the skin tissue, and the heat control logic often ignores the dynamic recovery characteristics of the skin after heat stimulation, especially without establishing a logical correlation model between the temperature drop rate, heat response inertia and heat conduction lag. In actual use, this hot compress method which ignores the individual heat response differences is prone to the following abnormal phenomena: the hot compress starts too early, the local heat capacity is not fully released, causing deep tissue heat retention, which may cause microcirculation disorder for a long time; the hot compress is too late, the skin temperature has fallen below the basic value, the drug penetration effect is interrupted, and the therapeutic effect is decreased; the heat rhythm is not matched for a long time, the user's subjective experience is poor, and the skin appears numb or periodic stimulation discomfort. These adverse reactions not only limit the applicability of Zhuang and Yao medicine external application in the treatment of chronic diseases and the promotion of national medicine, but also put forward higher response adaptation requirements for the intelligentization of heat therapy equipment.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.

[0154] When 0 < skin temperature drop rate ΔsT < 0.5 and 0 < total skin temperature attenuation amplitude Tk < 0.5, it indicates that the skin tissue is in a serious thermal retention state.

[0155] The embodiment continuously monitors the skin temperature during the "pause period" of the hot compress cycle for the first time, rather than assuming that the skin cooling state is "completed". The cooling process is recorded in real time by the NTC thermistor, the skin temperature drop rate and the total attenuation amplitude are quantified, so as to realize the accurate perception of the skin heat release process. Unlike the traditional thermal control strategy which only focuses on the heating stage, the present scheme constructs a dynamic model of the skin heat dissipation process through the temperature-time curve, which can identify whether the skin is still in a thermal retention state, especially when the skin temperature drop amplitude is small or the speed is slow, and timely capture the "latent heat residual" phenomenon of the tissue which is not fully dissipated.

[0156] The embodiment sets a reasonable two-parameter thermal retention criterion, which is based on the double lower limit judgment of the drop rate and the total attenuation amplitude, to automatically determine whether the current skin has obvious thermal retention, thereby effectively avoiding the thermal control time mismatch problem caused by human subjective intervention or false inference. Through the normalization processing of the multi-source data in the cooling period, the cooling data set QY in a unified scale is formed, which provides a structured input for the subsequent thermal response model, and effectively improves the data compatibility, expandability and control logic consistency of the whole system.

[0157] The embodiment can determine whether the skin has truly completed the heat dissipation process, avoid reheating when the tissue still retains heat, prevent the superposition of heat stimulation from causing microcirculation disorder, heat numbness, redness, or burning pain, and significantly improve the safety of hyperthermia. The cooling rate and decay amplitude, as specific manifestations of the individual skin heat diffusion capacity, can reflect differences in age, skin quality, capillary density, and other factors, enabling the device to adjust the pace based on the "local true response" rather than relying on general settings, thereby enhancing individualized control capabilities.

[0158] By forming the data set W and normalizing it to the cooling data set QY, the embodiment provides quantitative and standardized input parameters for the recovery index IRI construction, making the subsequent interval time adjustment more scientific and responsive. Traditional hyperthermia strategies only establish a thermal control model for the "heating period", and the embodiment parameterizes the "cooling period" modeling for the first time, realizing the closed-loop completion of heating-cooling-judgment in the hot compress cycle, which is conducive to the construction of long-term learning type thermal control strategy. Through numerical rules to automatically identify heat retention state, the system can actively extend the interval or reduce the heating intensity when detecting abnormal cooling behavior, thereby realizing active regulation and intervention without increasing user burden, and improving the system intelligence level.

[0159] Embodiment 4

[0160] This embodiment is an explanation and description in embodiment 3, please refer to Figure 1 , in particular: S3 includes S31 and S32;

[0161] S31, feature extraction is performed on the obtained hot compress data RY and cooling data set QY, including skin temperature drop slope ΔsT, skin temperature total decay amplitude Tk, thermal response inertia time Tr, and local heat conduction lag time Tag, and integration is performed to calculate and obtain thermal coupling activity index Ψact and recovery index IRI;

[0162] The thermal coupling activity index Ψact is obtained by the following formula:

[0163] ;

[0164] In the formula, C represents a non-zero positive number, exp represents an exponential function, and a represents an exponential factor for regulating lag sensitivity;

[0165] The recovery index IRI is obtained by the following formula:

[0166] ;

[0167] In the formula, β represents a curve slope adjustment factor, γ1 represents a thermal response inertia penalty coefficient, γ2 represents a heat conduction lag penalty coefficient, and e represents a constant.

[0168] S32, analyze the obtained thermal coupling activity index Ψact, and combine the thermal response inertia time Tr and the local heat conduction lag time Tag to obtain a recovery state activation value Ψreg;

[0169] The recovery state activation value Ψreg is obtained by the following formula:

[0170] ;

[0171] In the formula, log represents a logarithmic function;

[0172] The obtained recovery index IRI and the recovery state activation value Ψreg are compared with preset index threshold TIR and activation threshold TΨ to determine whether the current area has been recovered to an optimal state for the next heat stimulation;

[0173] The state determination is matched by the following method:

[0174] When the recovery index IRI is greater than or equal to the index threshold TIR, and the recovery state activation value Ψreg is greater than or equal to the activation threshold TΨ, it indicates that the current area has been fully recovered, and is in an optimal state for the next heat stimulation, and the next round of hot compress can be started.

[0175] When the recovery index IRI is less than the index threshold TIR, or the recovery state activation value Ψreg is less than the activation threshold TΨ, it indicates that there is a risk of heat retention, and the interval time is extended.

[0176] In this embodiment, it is first proposed to integrate hot compress data and cooling data in both directions to form two key indicators: thermal coupling activity index Ψact and recovery index IRI, which respectively reflect the response activity of the current skin to heat stimulation and the overall recovery situation, thereby constructing a more accurate heat control state evaluation model, which is significantly better than the traditional single temperature threshold method.

[0177] The thermal coupling activity index Ψact is coupled with the thermal response inertia Tr and the heat conduction lag time Tag to calculate the recovery state activation value Ψreg, which can reflect the dynamic evolution process of the skin from the last round of heat stimulation to the fully recovered state, avoiding the judgment of "whether to reheat" only relying on static indicators. By setting the recovery index threshold TIR and the activation threshold TΨ double judgment standard, the system no longer drives the hot compress rhythm by time, but drives the hot compress decision by the heat response state, ensuring that "only when the skin state is truly ready" the next round of heat stimulation is performed, improving the therapeutic effect while controlling the heat risk.

[0178] By combining the thermal response inertia and the conduction hysteresis characteristics, the embodiment can accurately identify the thermal residual state of the deep skin layer, avoid false triggering of heat application due to the apparent fall of the surface temperature, and effectively prevent the burning sensation, discomfort, and skin damage caused by thermal accumulation. The recovery index IRI and the recovery state activation value Ψreg can be automatically evaluated for different users and different parts of the skin, allowing the heat control strategy to adapt to different physical conditions (such as blood stasis, cold constitution, etc.) and different parts (such as the knee and the waist back) of the cooling recovery rhythm, achieving "decisions based on tissue state rather than fixed time."

[0179] The thermal coupling activity index Ψact reflects the skin thermal conduction state and the activity of thermal dynamic effects, which can be used to determine whether the drug ingredients are in the optimal release interval, achieve "precise coupling" of thermal driving and drug efficacy window, and significantly improve the penetration effect and stability of the Yao medicine.

[0180] Embodiment 5

[0181] This embodiment is an explanation and description in Embodiment 4, please refer to Figure 1 , specifically: S4 includes S41 and S42;

[0182] S41, jointly fusing the obtained recovery index IRI and thermal coupling activity index Ψact, and constructing a thermal steady-state regulation strength function Ωc;

[0183] The steady-state regulation strength function Ωc is obtained by the following formula:

[0184] ;

[0185] In the formula, B1 represents the recovery sensitivity factor, and B2 represents the thermal coupling sensitivity factor.

[0186] S42, according to the obtained thermal steady-state regulation strength function Ωc, dynamically calculating the interval waiting time ΔTds of the next heat application after the completion of the current heat application;

[0187] The interval waiting time ΔTds of the heat application is obtained by the following formula:

[0188] ;

[0189] In the formula, Tmin represents the minimum allowed interval length, Tmax represents the maximum safety interval upper limit specified by the system, ln represents the logarithm function with e as the base, and k represents the curve steepness control factor.

[0190] S5 includes S51 and S52;

[0191] S51, after the interval waiting time ΔTds of the hot compress is ended, a new round of hot compress is started, and the thermal effect indexes under the new round of hot compress are recorded, including the temperature rise slope nΔpT and the new heat flux lag time nTag and the thermal stimulation comfort index SRI;

[0192] The temperature rise slope nΔpT is obtained by the following formula:

[0193] ;

[0194] In the formula, nTt1 represents the initial temperature of the new round of hot compress, nTt0 represents the end temperature of the new round of hot compress, nt1 represents the initial time of the new round of hot compress, and nt0 represents the end time of the new round of hot compress.

[0195] The new heat flux lag time nTag is obtained by the difference between the time when the maximum temperature rise rate appears and the initial temperature nt1 of the new round of hot compress.

[0196] S52, the subjective feeling and the objective skin reaction data of the user are synchronously collected during the hot compress process, are fused into the thermal stimulation comfort index SRI, and the state of the next round of hot compress is judged.

[0197] The thermal stimulation comfort index SRI is obtained by the following formula:

[0198] ;

[0199] In the formula, Use represents the user's manual score, Ire represents the local skin redness degree, Mow represents the microcirculation activity degree, respectively represent the preset weight values of the user's manual score Use, the local skin redness degree Ire and the microcirculation activity degree Mow, and ;

[0200] The state of the next round of hot compress is obtained by matching in the following way:

[0201] When 0 < the thermal stimulation comfort index SRI < 0.4, it means that the next round of hot compress intensity is reduced and the time interval is prolonged.

[0202] When 0.4 ≤ the thermal stimulation comfort index SRI < 0.7, it means that the current parameters are kept.

[0203] When 0.7 ≤ the thermal stimulation comfort index SRI < 1.0, it means that the temperature is allowed to be increased and the next round of hot compress is allowed to be activated in advance.

[0204] In this embodiment, the heat steady-state regulation strength function Ωc is constructed by fusing the characteristics of the recovery index IRI and the heat coupling activity index Ψact, realizing the individualized modeling of the hot compress rhythm. Compared with the previous hot compress mode with fixed or empirical interval length, this method can dynamically adjust the next hot compress timing according to the actual thermal response and recovery ability of the skin, significantly enhancing the system adaptability and safety. In this embodiment, the logarithmic function and the curve control parameter are used to perform nonlinear mapping on the heat steady-state regulation strength function Ωc, generating the interval waiting time ΔTds of hot compress, which can smoothly connect the “minimum effective recovery time” and the “maximum safe waiting upper limit”, ensuring the efficacy while avoiding the occurrence of potential overheating or failure window.

[0205] In S5, the physical indicators such as the heating slope and the heat flux lag are introduced, and the user's subjective score, skin redness and microcirculation activity are collected at the same time, forming a composite heat stimulation comfort index SRI, breaking the previous limitations of relying solely on physical temperature indicators for control, and realizing the intelligent adjustment closed loop of “man-machine-skin state” trinity. According to the SRI score results, three kinds of control instructions are divided: delay cooling, parameter retention and advance heating, forming a clear control response rule chain, ensuring that the system has flexible processing capability for different users, different body feeling states and heat response periods, and continuously improving the individual hot compress experience and the degree of drug efficacy adaptation.

[0206] In this embodiment, the interval waiting time ΔTds of hot compress is regulated by the heat steady-state regulation strength function Ωc, ensuring that the skin state truly completes heat release before each round of heat stimulation starts, effectively avoiding heat overload and efficacy interruption. By collecting user subjective scores and objective responses, the system can no longer rely solely on temperature data as feedback criteria, and can adjust itself according to the actual experience of the user (such as being too hot, tingling, redness), significantly improving the individual adaptability and user stickiness of heat therapy.

[0207] If the interval timing is misaligned with the skin recovery state, it will lead to incomplete drug penetration or premature clearance. In this embodiment, the drug release window and the heat stimulation cycle are precisely aligned through bidirectional adjustment of the recovery index and the comfort index, thereby enhancing the penetration efficiency of the ingredients and prolonging the drug efficacy maintenance time. The heat flux behavior, comfort score and lag response are updated in each round of hot compress, and the system can continuously optimize the control logic accordingly, realizing the strategy evolution and individual learning mechanism, meeting the differentiated needs of long-term users at different stages.

[0208] In this embodiment, by setting the upper and lower limits of the interval time and multiple state judgments, skin damage problems such as red rash and blisters caused by excessive heat sensitivity or insufficient interval can be effectively avoided, which is particularly suitable for the elderly, children or abnormal heat sensitivity groups.

[0209] By establishing the thermal steady-state function and response rules, this scheme provides a structured template for the quantitative control and efficacy evaluation of hot compress treatment, and is expected to form an industry-standard intelligent control standard for Zhuang Yao medicine thermal therapy equipment, supporting its leap from home-assisted healthcare to professional medical auxiliary treatment.

[0210] Embodiment 6

[0211] This embodiment is an explanatory description in Embodiment 5, please refer to Figure 1 , specifically: S6 includes S61 and S62;

[0212] S61, according to the acquired thermal effect indicators in the complete hot compress cycle, including the temperature rise slope nΔpT, the new heat conduction lag time nTag and the thermal stimulation comfort index SRI, the comprehensive evaluation index Φcyc is constructed;

[0213] The comprehensive evaluation index Φcyc is obtained by the following formula:

[0214] ;

[0215] In the formula, SRI(t) represents the thermal stimulation comfort index at time t, d represents the integral symbol, D1, D2 and D3 represent the preset weight values of the temperature rise slope nΔpT, the new heat conduction lag time nTag and the thermal stimulation comfort index SRI respectively, and D1+D2+D3≤1;

[0216] S62, compare the acquired comprehensive evaluation index Φcyc with the preset comprehensive evaluation threshold Φref to judge the state of the current hot compress;

[0217] The state of the hot compress is matched and obtained by the following way:

[0218] When the comprehensive evaluation index Φcyc≥ the comprehensive evaluation threshold Φref, it means that the hot compress state is normal, and there is no need to adjust

[0219] When the comprehensive evaluation index Φcyc< the comprehensive evaluation threshold Φref, it means that the hot compress state is abnormal, and the heat response inertia penalty coefficient γ1, the heat conduction lag penalty coefficient γ2, the recovery sensitivity factor B1 and the thermal coupling sensitivity factor B2 are adjusted to obtain the new heat response inertia penalty coefficient nγ1, the new heat conduction lag penalty coefficient nγ2, the new recovery sensitivity factor nB1 and the new thermal coupling sensitivity factor nB2;

[0220] The adjustment formula is as follows:

[0221] nγ1=γ1+(1+η1*(1-Φcyc));

[0222] nγ2=γ2+(1+η1*(1-Φcyc));

[0223] nB1 = B1 + (1 + η2 * (1 - Φcyc));

[0224] nB2 = B2 + (1 + η2 * (1 - Φcyc));

[0225] In the formula, η1 represents a recovery factor adjustment step coefficient, and η2 represents a thermal hysteresis factor adjustment step coefficient.

[0226] The embodiment first unifies the three heterogeneous indexes of the temperature rise slope nΔpT, the new thermal conductance hysteresis time nTag, and the thermal stimulation comfort index SRI in a unified structure, constructs a comprehensive evaluation index Φcyc, and can not only quantify the comprehensive performance of the current hot compress period, but also breaks the limitation of the traditional thermal control system which takes a single index as a standard. The comfort index is introduced into the comprehensive evaluation index Φcyc and is processed by time integration, so that the user experience is no longer a “static single-point score”, but the fluctuation trend in the whole hot compress period is identified, which reflects the attention of the system to the dynamicity of subjective experience, and makes the evaluation system more human-oriented and time-continuous.

[0227] When the evaluation index is lower than the comprehensive evaluation threshold Φref, the system can automatically dynamically adjust a plurality of core control parameters (including thermal response and recovery factor) according to mathematical formula, form a self-adaptive learning type feedback loop of “evaluation→correction→iterative optimization”, and break the limitation of the traditional control strategy which is static and mechanical. The comprehensive evaluation index Φcyc not only serves as a single-period feedback, but also constitutes a basic trigger for long-term evolution of the system. The evaluation result of each round of thermal control state will act on the penalty coefficient and the sensitive factor of the next period, so that the system can be continuously optimized and gradually fit the skin state, drug effect and subjective feedback of the user.

[0228] Through the comprehensive evaluation index Φcyc, the system can accurately identify whether the current hot compress is effective or deviated, and provide clear and quantifiable feedback basis for doctors or users, so as to avoid relying on subjective experience to judge the curative effect, which is conducive to forming a heat treatment curative effect archive and data record.

[0229] If the system continuously detects that the comprehensive evaluation index Φcyc is low, the penalty coefficient and the sensitive factor can be adjusted in time to avoid the gradual decline of the curative effect without being found, effectively maintain the sustainability of the drug release efficiency and the skin thermal response, and reduce the risk of “cumulative failure”. The continuous feedback and optimization mechanism can make the device gradually form a “user-specific thermal control curve”, and each adjustment is closer to the individual optimal curative effect path, so as to improve the user comfort, curative effect consistency and use trust, and enhance the product stickiness and word-of-mouth effect.

[0230] While embodiments of the application have been shown and described, it is to be understood that the embodiments described are merely exemplary of the principles and application of the present application. Numerous modifications and adaptions can be effected without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, which is not limited to the exact construction and arrangement described.
