[0036] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific implementation methods of the specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] like Figure 1 The kinesio patch with temperature regulation function shown in the figure comprises an elastic fabric 1, a phase change adhesive layer 2 and a release film 3, wherein the phase change adhesive layer 2 is coated between the elastic fabric 1 and the release film 3. The phase change adhesive layer 2 comprises an adhesive portion 21 and a phase change portion 22, wherein the adhesive portion 21 and the phase change portion 22 are located at the same layer, and the adhesive portion 21 and the phase change portion 22 are staggered.

[0038] By adding phase change materials to the Kinesiology tape, it can absorb or release heat according to the temperature changes of the human body, achieve temperature regulation, and effectively relieve muscle fatigue and pain;

[0039] The adhesive layer structure of the adhesive and phase change material that are staggered in the same layer will not increase the thickness of the patch, so that it can fit the skin closely and is not prone to falling off, thereby improving the user experience.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] like Figure 2As shown, the bonding part 21 and the phase change part 22 are both water-ripple strip structures, the bonding part 21 and the phase change part 22 are alternately distributed, and there is a gap between adjacent bonding parts 21 and phase change parts 22. The length direction of the bonding part 21 and the phase change part 22 is parallel to the stretching direction of the elastic fabric 1.

[0042] By alternating the adhesive part 21 and the phase change part 22, the firmness of the kinesio patch can be ensured, and the gap between the adhesive part 21 and the phase change part 22 can increase air circulation, allowing sweat to evaporate quickly, thereby preventing sweat from affecting the stickiness of the kinesio patch. The adhesive part 21 and the phase change part 22 are designed to be water-ripple-shaped and parallel to the stretching direction of the elastic fabric 1, so that the phase change adhesive layer 2 can extend along the stretching direction of the elastic fabric 1, thereby preventing the phase change adhesive layer from cracking due to the stretching of the elastic fabric 1.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the stretch fabric 1 includes a fixed portion 11 and a stretching portion 12, a bonding portion 21 is coated on the fixed portion 11, and a phase change portion 22 is coated on the stretching portion 12. The bonding portion 21 and the phase change portion 22 are both water-ripple strip structures, and gaps are left between the bonding portions 21 and the phase change portions 22. The length directions of the bonding portions 21 and the phase change portions 22 are parallel to the stretching direction of the stretch fabric 1, and the bonding portions 21 and the phase change portions 22 at least partially overlap.

[0045] By coating the adhesive portion 21 at the fixing portion 11 of the elastic fabric 1 and coating the phase change portion 22 at the stretching portion 12 of the elastic fabric 1, the firmness of the kinesiology tape can be ensured.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, phase change fibers are blended into the stretch fabric 1, thereby increasing the capacity of the phase change material and improving the performance of the Kinesiology patch in absorbing / releasing heat.

[0047] As another preferred embodiment of the present application, a thermally conductive material is mixed in the phase change adhesive layer 2, and the thermally conductive material can be a carbon material such as graphite, graphene or carbon nanotubes, or a metal material such as silver, copper, etc. The addition of the thermally conductive material can improve the thermal conductivity of the phase change adhesive layer 2 and improve the response efficiency of the phase change material in absorbing / releasing heat.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] like Figure 4 The method for preparing a Kinesio patch with temperature regulation function shown in the figure comprises the following steps:

[0050] Step S1, preparing phase change microcapsules;

[0051] The preparation steps of phase change microcapsules include:

[0052] Step S11, weigh a certain amount of surfactant and add it into pure water, and perform ultrasonic treatment for 10 minutes until the solution becomes clear;

[0053] Step S12, weigh a certain amount of thermal conductive material, add it to the solution obtained in step S11, and perform ultrasonic treatment for 60 minutes until it is completely dispersed; wherein the role of the surfactant is to improve the dispersibility and stability of the carbon nanotubes and prevent the aggregation and accumulation of the carbon nanotubes.

[0054] Step S13, heating the solution obtained in step S12 to 70° C., adding paraffin and homogenizing for 1 hour to form an emulsion;

[0055] Step S14, weighing tetraethoxysilane and anhydrous ethanol, adding pure water and mixing thoroughly, adding ammonia water and stirring to form a precursor solution;

[0056] Step S15, slowly dropwise adding the precursor solution into the emulsion obtained in step S13, stirring and reacting for 4 hours;

[0057] Step S16, separating the product, washing and drying to obtain phase change microcapsules.

[0058] Step S2: preparing a phase change adhesive, wherein the phase change adhesive comprises a binder and a phase change material.

[0059] The adhesive is a solvent-based acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive, and the phase change material is prepared by mixing carbon nanotube thermal conductive material, phase change microcapsules and solvent-based acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive.

[0060] Step S3, coating the phase change rubber on the large stretch fabric.

[0061] According to the design, the adhesive and the phase change material are coated on a large sheet of stretch fabric respectively, and after standing at room temperature for 20 minutes, they are sent into a drying oven to remove the solvent of the solvent-based acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive.

[0062] Step S4, compounding the release film and the stretch fabric.

[0063] The release film is laminated to the stretch fabric coated with phase change adhesive, and the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is activated by roller compression.

[0064] Step S5: cutting and rolling.

[0065] The large sheet of stretch fabric is cut into long strips by die-cutting and rolled into rolls. The die-cutting adopts a semi-die-cutting process, that is, the stretch fabric and the phase change adhesive layer are cut through, while the release film is retained, which is convenient for users to use.

[0066] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
