[0002] In routine pediatric outpatient clinics, the number of children seeking treatment for functional abdominal pain and indigestion remains high, especially school-age children, who are a high-risk group for such conditions. These digestive system problems not only cause children to experience uncomfortable symptoms such as abdominal fullness and pain, but also greatly affect their emotional state, making it difficult for them to concentrate on their studies and delaying their academic progress. They also place a heavy burden on parents. Frequent visits to the doctor and childcare not only consume a lot of time and energy, but also increase family medical expenses, seriously interfering with parents' normal work and life rhythms. At the same time, there is a lack of unified, accurate and effective treatment methods for such conditions. In actual clinical practice, each doctor has different opinions on the treatment of such conditions, such as distraction, oral probiotics, oral traditional Chinese medicine for strengthening the spleen and stomach, verbal comfort, etc. This also makes parents confused about the information on treatment options and difficult to decide.

[0003] Currently, the main methods available on the market for assisting children's digestion include medication, dietary adjustments, and physical massage. Physical massage, such as manual abdominal massage or the use of simple massage devices, is difficult to precisely control in terms of intensity and frequency, failing to guarantee a stable digestive effect. It also consumes a significant amount of energy and is difficult for parents to maintain long-term adherence. Furthermore, some existing pediatric digestive aids have limited functionality and lack intelligent adjustment mechanisms. They are unable to provide personalized assistance based on individual differences in age, weight, digestive status, and other factors, making it difficult to meet the diverse digestive needs of different children. Therefore, developing a safe, effective, and easy-to-use pediatric digestive aid that can effectively alleviate abdominal distension and pain in children and provide personalized assistance and intelligent adjustment is crucial for alleviating the burden of pediatric outpatient visits and meeting current medical needs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0009] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention; it is obvious that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0010] Example 1 The present invention discloses a children's stomach digestion aid device, referring to Figures 1 to 4 To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, the present invention discloses a pediatric stomach digestion aid device, comprising: an abdominal belt 1, a massage component 2, a heating tube 3, and a controller 4. The massage component 2 is fixedly attached to the inner side of the abdominal belt 1, and the heating tube 3 is fixedly disposed within the abdominal belt 1, ensuring a uniform warming effect on the child's abdomen during use. The controller 4 is detachably mounted on the side of the abdominal belt 1 and electrically connected to the massage component 2 and heating tube 3, thereby effectively controlling the entire device.

[0011] The massage assembly 2 includes a mounting plate 201, a rotating motor 202, a telescopic motor 203, and a massage head 204. The output shaft of the rotating motor 202 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 201. Telescopic motors 203 are fixedly mounted on either side of the mounting plate 201, and their output shafts are fixedly connected to the massage head 204. The massage head 204, working in concert with the rotating and telescopic motors 202 and 203, can achieve flexible rotation and telescopic motion, providing a massage of varying frequency and intensity to the child's abdomen. A controller 4 is electrically connected to the rotating and telescopic motors 202 and 203, enabling precise control of the movement of the massage head 204.

[0012] In addition, an electrode sheet 205 is fixedly mounted on the top of the massage head 204, and the electrode sheet 205 is also electrically connected to the controller 4. The electrode sheet 205 can output currents of different intensities and frequencies according to the instructions of the controller 4, thereby stimulating the acupuncture points on the child's abdomen and further enhancing the digestion-aiding effect.

[0013] The ends of the abdominal band 1 are detachably connected to straps 101. This design not only facilitates donning and securing the device, but also allows for flexible adjustment based on the child's body shape, ensuring comfort and a snug fit during use. The controller 4 can also be connected to an external power source, ensuring a stable power supply during use, ensuring the proper functioning of all its functions.

[0014] The controller 4 has multiple control functions. It not only controls the heating temperature and duration of the heating tube 3 to ensure optimal heat compress effects, but also controls the massage frequency and intensity of the massage component 2, allowing for personalized adjustments based on the child's specific needs. Furthermore, the controller 4 can also control the intensity and frequency of the current output by the electrode sheet 205, thereby achieving precise control of acupoint stimulation.

[0015] Example 2 The theoretical basis of this device integrates the essence of modern medicine and traditional medicine. Through multi-dimensional treatment methods, it comprehensively regulates children's gastric function and relieves symptoms such as indigestion and functional abdominal pain.

[0016] From a modern medical perspective, the mechanism of action of hot compresses is to increase local temperature, causing gastric blood vessels to dilate, thereby increasing blood flow and improving microcirculation. Good blood circulation provides adequate nutrients to gastric tissues and accelerates the excretion of metabolic waste, which is crucial for maintaining normal gastric function. Furthermore, hot compresses can reduce muscle tension and relieve abdominal pain caused by muscle spasms. They also regulate the autonomic nervous system through reflex action, reducing gastrointestinal overexcitation and thus alleviating stomach discomfort. Massage, through mechanical stimulation, promotes gastrointestinal motility, accelerating digestion and absorption. This mechanical stimulation also reflexively enhances the secretion of gastric and pancreatic juices, further improving digestive efficiency. Furthermore, the gentle pressure and kneading of massage can reduce stomach fullness and relieve discomfort caused by excessive stomach pressure. Massage can also stimulate nerve endings, regulate nervous system function, and alleviate anxiety and tension, thereby alleviating stomach discomfort caused by emotional factors. Electrical stimulation, similar to transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), blocks the transmission of pain signals and promotes the release of endorphins, thereby alleviating pain. Electric current stimulation can also regulate the function of the autonomic nervous system, enhance gastrointestinal motility and digestive function, and improve blood circulation in the stomach by regulating the release of neurotransmitters.

[0017] From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the meridian theory of TCM holds that qi and blood are the essential substances that sustain human life, and that meridians are the channels through which qi and blood flow. Massage and electrical stimulation can regulate the flow of qi and blood in the meridians, thereby regulating the function of the internal organs. In TCM theory, the spleen and stomach are the "acquired foundation" of the human body, responsible for the digestion and absorption of food. Heat compresses, massage, and electrical stimulation can regulate the function of the spleen and stomach, thereby improving symptoms such as indigestion. TCM also believes that cold and dampness are common causes of spleen and stomach dysfunction. Heat compresses can dispel cold and warm the spleen and stomach, while massage and electrical stimulation can regulate the spleen and stomach's transport and transformation functions, eliminate dampness, and thus relieve stomach discomfort. Tui na is a traditional TCM therapy that regulates the body's physiological functions through manual stimulation of acupuncture points and meridians. The massage component of this device mimics the techniques of massage, providing massage at varying frequencies and intensities through rotational and telescopic movements, achieving similar effects. Massage can unclog the meridians, regulate qi and blood, and thus improve the function of the internal organs. Through massage and electrical stimulation, the abdominal meridians can be unblocked, spleen and stomach function can be regulated, and stomach discomfort can be relieved. Heat therapy is an important treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), believing that warmth can dispel cold pathogens and promote the circulation of qi and blood. The warming effect provided by the heating tube in the device aligns with TCM theory of heat therapy and can relieve discomfort caused by stomach cold. Heat warms the spleen and stomach, enhancing their transport and transformation functions, thereby improving symptoms such as indigestion. Heat therapy can also regulate the function of the internal organs, promoting the circulation of qi and blood, and thus harmonizing the internal organs.

[0018] In summary, this device combines modern medical techniques of heat compresses, massage, and electrical stimulation with traditional Chinese medicine's meridian theory and massage theory. Through these multiple approaches, it synergizes to promote blood circulation and digestion in children's stomachs, relieving stomach discomfort. This integration of modern and traditional medical theories makes this device more comprehensive and effective in treating functional abdominal pain and indigestion in children.

[0019] The working principle and usage process of this device are as follows: The device mainly consists of an abdominal belt 1, a massage component 2, a heating tube 3 and a controller 4. The abdominal belt 1 is the basic structure of the device, which is used to fit the child's abdomen and fix other components. The massage component 2 is installed on the inside of the abdominal belt 1, and includes a mounting plate 201, a rotating motor 202, a telescopic motor 203 and a massage head 204. The rotating motor 202 drives the mounting plate 201 to rotate, and the telescopic motor 203 controls the telescopic movement of the massage head 204, thereby achieving massage of different frequencies and intensities. The electrode sheet 205 on the top of the massage head 204 stimulates the abdominal acupuncture points through electric current, further enhancing the digestion-aiding effect. The heating tube 3 is fixed inside the abdominal belt 1, which can provide a hot compress effect, help relax the abdominal muscles, and promote blood circulation. The controller 4 is installed on the side of the abdominal belt 1, and controls the working status of the massage component 2 and the heating tube 3 through electrical connection.

[0020] During use, the abdominal band 1 is first placed around the child's abdomen and secured with the straps 101 at the ends to ensure a close fit. The controller 4 is then connected to an external power source to provide a stable power supply. Through the user interface of the controller 4, the user can set the heating temperature and time of the heating tube 3 according to the child's specific needs to achieve the desired hot compress effect. The user can also adjust the massage frequency and intensity of the massage component 2, as well as the intensity and frequency of the current output of the electrode sheet 205, to achieve a personalized massage and acupoint stimulation program.

[0021] When the device is activated, the heating tube 3 begins operating, providing a warm compress to the child's abdomen. Simultaneously, the massage component 2, driven by the rotary motor 202 and the telescopic motor 203, begins massaging the child's abdomen at a preset frequency and intensity. The electrodes 205 on top of the massage head 204 output current according to the instructions of the controller 4, stimulating the abdominal acupuncture points. Throughout this process, the controller 4 monitors the operating status of each component in real time to ensure stable operation of the device.

[0022] Through the synergistic effects of heat, massage, and acupoint stimulation, this device can effectively promote blood circulation in children's stomachs, enhance digestion, and relieve stomach discomfort. After use, the user can turn off the device through the controller 4, disconnect the power supply, and remove the device from the child's abdomen. This simple and convenient usage process is easy to operate, suitable for use in a home environment, and provides strong support for children's digestive health.
