The drawings described in the present invention are only schematic diagrams of the structure.

[0020] A self-heating type rheumatism treatment patch provided by the present invention, as Figures 1 to 2 shown, includes a Chinese herbal medicine rheumatism treatment patch 1, an antibacterial layer 8, an isolation layer 2, a heating layer 3, a temperature control layer 6, and a breathable layer 4 arranged in sequence from the inside out; the heating layer 3 includes a heating material and a breathable bag. The heating material is filled into the breathable bag, and a microporous breathable membrane is provided on the side of the breathable bag. The working surface of the Chinese herbal medicine rheumatism treatment patch 1 is coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive. The Chinese herbal medicine rheumatism treatment patch 1 is adhered with a release paper 5 through the pressure-sensitive adhesive. The outside of the isolation layer 2 is fixedly adhered to the breathable bag with glue. The breathable layer 4 is provided with evenly arranged heat-sealed breathable holes, and the edge of the breathable bag is heat-sealed.

[0021] When in use, after removing the vacuum packaging bag, the heating layer 3 on the treatment patch contacts the fresh air outside through the breathable layer 4, and the reduced iron powder quickly reacts with the oxygen in the air to generate heat. Then, the release paper 5 on the working surface of the Chinese herbal medicine rheumatism treatment patch 1 is torn off through the release piece 7, and then the treatment patch is pasted on the affected area. After that, the heating layer 3 will continuously generate heat for 8 - 12 hours. The temperature of the Chinese herbal medicine heating patch is maintained by the temperature control layer 6. The continuous warm effect accelerates the penetration of the medicine, enhances the medicinal effect, improves local blood circulation, relieves the pain of muscles and joints, and is fixed with the pressure-sensitive adhesive according to the reserved gap to ensure the heating time effect and uniformity, and avoid the phenomenon of caking.

[0022] Preferably, as Figures 1 to 2 shown, the heating material is made by mixing reduced iron powder, activated carbon, nano-zinc oxide, inorganic salts, vermiculite, and ceramic micro-powder materials in proportion. The heating temperature is controlled at 30 - 40 °C, and the continuous heating time reaches 8 - 12 hours. There are several grooves on the inner side of the breathable bag. The heating material is divided into several independent monomers and is uniformly fixed on the inner surface of the breathable bag through pressure-sensitive adhesive. A gap of 2 - 4 mm is reserved between adjacent heating material monomers.

[0023] In this embodiment, a reasonable ratio of nano-zinc oxide, activated carbon, ceramic micro-powder, etc. can improve the uniform distribution of heat and extend the heating duration. The heating material is divided into several independent monomers, and the heating monomers are uniformly fixed on the inner surface of the microporous breathable membrane through pressure-sensitive adhesive. A gap of 2 - 4 mm is reserved between adjacent heating monomers. Through a reasonable gap design, the uniform release of heat is ensured, and local overheating and caking of the heating material are avoided.

[0024] In this embodiment, the breathable layer 4 adopts a polyolefin waterproof and breathable microporous membrane structure. The breathable holes on the polyolefin waterproof and breathable microporous membrane correspond to the heating monomers. This material has good breathability and waterproofness, and can effectively prevent the oxidation failure of the lower-layer heating material caused by long-term placement.

[0025] Preferably, as Figures 1 to 2 shown, the isolation layer 2 is made of silica gel diaphragm material.

[0026] In this embodiment, using silica gel diaphragm material as the isolation layer 2 plays the roles of heat insulation and waterproofing, and at the same time maintains softness and elasticity, which can effectively prevent the leakage of the heating body and avoid discomfort and infection caused by contact with the skin.

[0027] Preferably, as Figures 1 to 2 shown, the antibacterial layer 8 is composed of natural antibacterial materials, and silk mesh layers are arranged on its inner and outer sides.

[0028] The antibacterial layer 8 is composed of natural antibacterial materials (such as chitosan, nano-zinc oxide, silver ions, etc.), avoiding the possible infection risk during use.

[0029] Preferably, as Figures 1 to 2 shown, the temperature control layer 6 is a paraffin-based phase change material.

[0030] In this embodiment, the temperature control layer 6 adopts a paraffin-based phase change material. This material can absorb excess heat, absorb heat at a certain temperature, maintain a constant temperature state, avoid scalding caused by too high temperature, and ensure stable temperature without causing harm to the skin.

[0031] Preferably, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, a release tab 7 is provided at the right end of the release paper 5.

[0032] In this embodiment, the right end of the release paper 5 is set as the peeling piece 7, which is convenient for disassembly during use.

[0033] The usage method of the self-heating type rheumatism treatment patch of the present invention is as follows: First, disinfect the affected area with 75% alcohol; Then tear open the vacuum packaging of the treatment patch body, take out the treatment patch body. At this time, the heating layer 3 on the treatment patch contacts the fresh air outside through the breathable layer 4, and the reduced iron powder quickly reacts with the oxygen in the air and then generates heat; Then tear off the release paper 5 on the acting surface of the Chinese herbal medicine rheumatism treatment patch 1 through the peeling piece 7, and stick the Chinese herbal medicine rheumatism treatment patch 1 on the affected area. After that, the heating layer 3 will continuously generate heat for 8 - 12 hours, and accelerate the drug penetration through the continuous warming effect, enhance the drug effect, improve the local blood circulation, and relieve the pain of muscles and joints.

[0034] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
