Clamp the plurality of clamping blocks 52 into the corresponding second clamping grooves 18 one by one to connect the moving frame 5 with the box body 1.

[0037] Fix the box body 1 on the patient's body surface through the two fixing belts 2. When fixing, make the wound located at the position covered by the gauze or cotton cloth, and make the plurality of massage balls 31 surround the periphery of the wound. Adjust the temperature of the temperature control unit through an external controller (not shown in the figure). Rotate the grip block 43 to adjust the height of the application box 41 to make the patient feel comfortable. When rotating the grip block 43 to move the application box 41, the application box 41 can also be separated from the box body 1, so that it is convenient to repair the application box 41.

[0038] Start the rotary motor 334 to drive the worm 336 to rotate. The worm 336 drives the rotating ring 331 to rotate through the worm gear 335. The rotating ring 331 drives the connecting rod 332 and the pressure roller 333 to rotate. The pressure roller 333 presses on a number of massage balls 31 in sequence to press them down, and the massage balls 31 bounce up under the resilience of the helical spring 322. Move in such a way that the area around the patient's wound is massaged to relieve the patient's muscle tension and pain.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the wearable pain relief device of the present invention realizes the organic combination of multiple functions by integrating hot compress, cold compress and massage functions, and can meet the diverse needs of patients in wound care and pain relief.

The massage mechanism can perform uniform and rhythmic massage on the periphery of the wound through the coordinated work of the massage balls, elastic components and drive components, effectively relieving muscle tension and pain. In addition, the structural design of the device is simple, reducing the use of complex mechanical parts and electronic components, reducing the failure rate and improving the reliability. The Velcro design of the fixing belt and the gauze or cotton cloth protective layer of the moving frame further improve the convenience of use and the wound protection effect. Overall, the device shows significant advantages in terms of function integration, ease of use, temperature control accuracy, massage effect and ease of maintenance, and can provide an efficient, safe and comfortable pain relief solution for patients, significantly improving the patient's treatment experience and quality of life.
