Example 1

[0008] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the bag body 1 is divided into two warehouse bodies, a hot compress mechanism is arranged in the front warehouse body, and a heating mechanism is arranged in the rear warehouse body; the heating mechanism includes an evaporator 7, a control valve 10, a pipeline 9, a guide plate 15, a motor 13, and a fan 14; an evaporator 7 is arranged at the rear of the bag body 1; a pipeline 9 is arranged in the evaporator 7 to connect the rear warehouse body of the bag body 1; a control valve 10 is arranged on the pipeline 9; motors 13 are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the bag body 1 on both sides of the control valve 10; the output shaft of the motor 13 is connected to the fan 14; a guide plate 15 is arranged at the connection between the heating mechanism and the hot compress mechanism; the hot compress mechanism includes a medicine bag slot 16, a splint 12, a spring 11, a moisture-absorbing sheet 5, a heat-insulating pad 3, and a temperature sensor; the medicine bag slot 16 is arranged in the front warehouse of the guide plate 15, springs 11 are arranged on both sides of the medicine bag slot 16 to connect the splint 12, and a moisture-absorbing sheet 5 is arranged at the front end of the medicine bag slot 16; a plurality of heat-insulating pads 3 are arranged on the moisture-absorbing sheet 5, and a temperature sensor is arranged at the rear end of the heat-insulating pad 3 connected to the moisture-absorbing sheet 5; the medicine bag slot 16 on the bag body 1 is movably connected to the medicine bag door 4, a microcontroller 8 is arranged at the rear of the bag body 1, and Velcro tightening belts are respectively arranged on the four corners of the bag body 1; a temperature insulation coating is arranged on the outer surfaces of the bag body 1 and the evaporator 7 to isolate heat; In this embodiment, when the device is in use, the medicine bag door 4 at the front end of the bag body 1 is opened, and the medicine bag is placed in the medicine bag slot 16. The clamping plate 12 provided in the medicine bag slot 16 can fix the medicine bag to adapt to medicine bags of different sizes; the evaporator 7 is turned on to heat the medicine bag, and the required temperature is set by the microcontroller 8. At the same time, the tightening belts provided on the four corners of the bag body 1 are rotatably connected, and the four tightening belts can be pulled to a horizontal position or a vertical position according to the hot compress part, and the tightening belts are retractable and are fixed by Velcro; In this embodiment, the heating mechanism heats water into steam by using an evaporator 7 and transports the steam to the guide plate 15 through a pipe 9. This design can quickly heat the Chinese medicine, improve the overall heating efficiency, and meet the use needs of large-scale or multiple patients at the same time. The device is equipped with a temperature sensor and a microcontroller 8, which can monitor the temperature of the hot compress bag in real time and adjust the steam flow through a control valve 10 to achieve precise control of the hot compress temperature and reduce the risk of scalding. The device is designed with multiple steam delivery gears, which can adjust the temperature according to different treatment needs and provide personalized hot compress treatment.

[0009] In this embodiment, the design of the guide plate 15 allows the steam to be evenly delivered to the medicine bag, ensuring that the entire medicine bag is heated evenly and improving the hot compress effect. The springs 11 are arranged on both sides of the medicine bag to connect the splints 12, which can adapt to different medicine bag shapes and provide a more stable hot compress experience. The front end of the medicine bag is provided with a moisture-absorbing sheet 5, which helps to absorb moisture in the medicine bag and keep the hot compress bag dry and clean. The heat-insulating pad 3 is arranged on the moisture-absorbing sheet 5 to prevent heat from directly contacting the skin, providing an additional protective layer to avoid burns. The uniform hot compress helps the release and penetration of Chinese medicine ingredients and improves the efficacy of the medicine. The fans 14 arranged on both sides of the control valve 10 can accelerate the diffusion of steam in the hot compress area, so that the steam covers the entire hot compress bag or treatment area more quickly. This helps the Chinese medicine ingredients to be released faster and act evenly on the child's skin, thereby improving the efficiency of hot compress treatment. During the hot compress process, if the steam temperature is too high, it may cause discomfort or damage to the child's skin. The blowing effect of the fan 14 can help to reduce the temperature of the surface of the hot compress bag to a certain extent, making the hot compress process more comfortable and safe.

[0010] In this embodiment, the device can be added with a timer to set the hot compress time in actual production and use. Since this technology is a prior art, it will not be described in detail in the present invention. In this embodiment, the temperature and hot compress mode suitable for various Chinese medicines can be written into the microcontroller 8. When in use, the temperature and hot compress mode can be automatically adjusted by scanning or inputting the Chinese medicine formula information to achieve the best treatment effect; In this embodiment, the device is for children. In actual production use, in order to attract children's attention and reduce their fear and resistance to treatment, a music module can be set on the device to increase the fun of the hot compress process. Example 2

[0011] like Figure 5 As shown, the control method of the temperature control system of the traditional Chinese medicine hot compress device for children includes: S1: Control the temperature sensor through the microcontroller 8 to detect the temperature of the hot compress pack, and convert the temperature signal into an electrical signal and feed it back to the microcontroller 8; S2: The microcontroller 8 receives feedback from the temperature sensor, performs digital-to-analog conversion, converts the analog signal into a digital signal, and determines whether the current temperature is within the control range of one of the three preset steam delivery gears according to the value of the digital signal. If the temperature is within the temperature range of gear 3, the system maintains the steam delivery of gear 3; if the temperature is within the temperature range of gear 2, the system adjusts to the steam delivery of gear 2; if the temperature is within the temperature range of gear 1, the system adjusts to the steam delivery of gear 1; S3: According to the temperature range judgment result, the microcontroller 8 outputs a control signal to the control valve 10 to adjust the opening of the control valve 10 and change the flow rate of the steam; S4: The temperature sensor continuously monitors the temperature of the hot compress device and feeds back new data to the microcontroller 8 to form a closed-loop control.

[0012] In this embodiment, the temperature sensor in the temperature control system can monitor the temperature of the hot compress pack or the hot compress area in real time to ensure that the temperature during the hot compress process is within a safe and appropriate range. This is crucial to protecting children's skin from burns, because children's skin is relatively delicate and highly sensitive to temperature changes. The temperature sensor feeds back the monitored temperature data to the microcontroller 8, so that the user can intuitively understand the current hot compress temperature. Based on the feedback from the temperature sensor, the control system can automatically adjust the gear position of the control valve 10 to maintain the hot compress pack within the set temperature range. This helps to achieve constant temperature hot compress, improve the hot compress effect and user comfort. When the temperature of the hot compress pack exceeds the preset safety threshold, the temperature sensor will trigger the overheating protection mechanism and automatically cut off the power supply of the evaporator 7 to prevent the hot compress pack from overheating and causing burns. By accurately controlling the hot compress temperature, the temperature sensor helps to improve the user's hot compress experience. Appropriate hot compress temperature can accelerate blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, promote drug absorption, etc., thereby achieving better therapeutic effects; In this embodiment, the microcontroller 8 monitors the temperature of the hot compress pack or the hot compress area in real time by receiving the signal input by the temperature sensor. According to the set temperature range and the actual monitored temperature, the microcontroller 8 automatically adjusts the power of the heating element to keep the hot compress pack at a constant temperature. This helps to ensure that the temperature during the hot compress process is neither too high to cause burns nor too low to affect the hot compress effect; In this embodiment, the steam control valve 10 receives a signal from the microcontroller 8 and accurately adjusts the valve opening, thereby controlling the steam flow entering the hot compress pack. This function ensures that the temperature in the hot compress pack can be stably and accurately adjusted according to the preset program, avoiding discomfort or damage to the child's skin caused by excessively high or low temperatures. During the hot compress process, if the device fails or the system has an abnormal situation (such as a sharp rise in temperature, etc.), the steam control valve 10 can quickly cut off the steam supply to prevent the hot compress pack from overheating and causing safety accidents. This safety protection function is crucial to protecting the safety of children.

[0013] In summary, the present invention heats water into steam by using an evaporator 7 and transports the steam to the guide plate 15 through a pipe 9. This design can quickly heat the Chinese medicine, improve the overall heating efficiency, and meet the use requirements of large-scale or multiple patients at the same time. It is equipped with a temperature sensor and a microcontroller 8, which can monitor the temperature of the hot compress bag in real time, and adjust the steam flow through a control valve 10 to achieve precise control of the hot compress temperature and reduce the risk of scalding. Through closed-loop control, the device can continuously monitor and adjust the temperature to ensure that the temperature of the medicine bag is always kept within a safe range, which is especially suitable for children's delicate skin; At the same time, a temperature control system is designed. The temperature sensor can monitor the temperature of the hot compress pack in real time to ensure temperature control during the treatment process. The microcontroller 8 receives feedback from the temperature sensor to achieve precise temperature control to avoid overheating or insufficient temperature, forming a closed-loop control system. The temperature sensor continuously monitors and feeds back new data to the microcontroller 8 to achieve dynamic adjustment and stable control. The system is designed with multiple steam delivery gears, which can be adjusted according to treatment needs or patient tolerance to provide personalized temperature control.
