BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0019] γ This is a schematic structural diagram of the split epididymitis therapeutic pants in one embodiment of the present application.
[0020] In the above figures, 1 is the front trouser piece and 2 is the back trouser piece. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The procedures involved or relied upon in the following embodiments are all conventional or simple procedures in the art, and those skilled in the art can make conventional selections or adaptive adjustments based on specific application scenarios. Unless otherwise specified, the components and other parts involved in the following embodiments are all conventional commercially available products.
[0022] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0023] Traditional therapeutic pants have limited functionality and rely on exogenous heat or cold compresses, failing to precisely control or dynamically adjust the temperature based on the patient's individual characteristics. Furthermore, the rough structure of the scrotal area of existing therapeutic pants can easily lead to localized compression or excessive relaxation, compromising the therapeutic effect. To address these issues, this example discloses a split epididymitis therapeutic pants comprising front and back panels connected by a quick-release waist strap and an elastic crotch strap.
[0024] wherein, referring to γ , the front pants piece 1 can cover the scrotum of the patient, in order to achieve the physiotherapy effect of epididymitis, in the embodiment, the front pants piece 1 includes a temperature control part which can be heated and the heating temperature of which can be adjusted adaptively according to the individual characteristics of the patient. Specifically, the temperature control part is provided with a waterproof layer, an electric heating phase change energy storage layer and a skin-friendly layer from outside to inside, wherein, in the embodiment, the waterproof layer is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coated nylon cloth, and the hydrostatic pressure thereof is ≥20 kP, thereby realizing the waterproof effect, avoiding the immersion of external water into the pants piece, affecting the normal work of the heating element and the like, and ensuring the use safety of the physiotherapy pants. The electric heating phase change energy storage layer specifically includes a flexible electric heating element layer and a phase change energy storage sublayer wrapped outside the flexible electric heating element layer. The flexible electric heating layer generates heat after being powered on, thereby achieving the hot compress effect. In order to avoid excessive heat exchange between the heat generated by the flexible electric heating layer and the surrounding environment, thereby reducing the physiotherapy hot compress effect and increasing the energy consumption, in the embodiment, the phase change energy storage sublayer is wrapped and arranged outside the flexible electric heating layer. In the embodiment, in order to achieve good energy storage effect, the phase change energy storage sublayer includes two phase change material sublayers with different phase change temperatures, one of which is a paraffin / expanded graphite composite phase change material (PCM), the phase change temperature of which is 38±0.5℃, and the latent heat value is 220 J / g; the structure is a honeycomb hole with a pore size of 2 mm and a porosity of 65%, and the thickness is 2.5 mm; the other phase change material sublayer is a hydrated salt / silica gel composite phase change material, the phase change temperature of which is 32±0.5℃, and the latent heat value is 180 J / g; the structure is microcapsule packaging, the particle size is 50-100 i, j , and the thickness is 1.5 mm. In the example, the two phase change material sublayers are hot pressed at 150℃ and 5 MPa pressure for 30 seconds to form a composite interlocking structure corresponding to the staggered distribution and honeycomb shape. In addition, in order to ensure the wearing comfort of the physiotherapy pants, the inner layer of the temperature control part of the front pants piece for contacting the skin of the patient is a skin-friendly layer, in the example, the skin-friendly layer is a 70% tencel and 30% modal blended fabric, and the surface is subjected to plasma modification treatment, the contact angle is ≤30°, and the superhydrophilicity is realized.
[0025] Considering that the temperature of the temperature control part is jointly affected by the heating degree of the flexible electric heating layer in the electric heating phase change energy storage layer and the heat storage effect of the phase change energy storage sublayer, in order to accurately regulate and control the heat of the temperature control part and adapt to the different individual needs of patients, in the embodiment, a temperature sensor array is embedded at the electric heating phase change energy storage layer to monitor the real-time temperature at the electric heating phase change energy storage layer as the basis for regulating the heating amount of the flexible electric heating layer. Specifically, in the example, the temperature sensor array specifically adopts NTC thermistor (precision ±0.1℃), and the sampling rate is 1 Hz; clinical tests show that the temperature monitoring error is ≤0.2℃ (compared with infrared thermal imager FLIR T540).
[0026] To achieve effective and reliable support for the scrotum of the patient, in this case, the front pants piece 1 also includes a scrotum support part. Considering that the scrotum support part of the existing physiotherapy pants cannot be adaptively adjusted according to the individual characteristics and needs of the patient, resulting in unsatisfactory treatment effect, in this embodiment, the scrotum support part includes an elastic support belt, and the elastic support belt is adjustably arranged at the crotch position on the inner side of the front pants piece through an adjusting buckle, thereby adaptively adjusting the length of the elastic support belt by adjusting the adjusting buckle to meet the treatment and comfort needs of different patients. In addition, to achieve effective and reliable support for the scrotum, in this case, the inner side of the elastic support belt is provided with a scrotum support pad, and the curved profile of the scrotum support pad matches the anatomical shape of the scrotum, thereby achieving reliable support effect through effective contact between the scrotum support pad and the scrotum.
[0027] Specifically, in this case, to ensure the wearing comfort and support effect of the elastic support belt, the elastic support belt includes, from inside to outside, an elastic woven layer, a silicone stress buffer layer, and an antibacterial layer. Among them, the elastic woven layer is an elastic mesh cloth woven with 80% spandex and 20% nylon, with a thickness of 0.8 mm, a tensile strength of 250%, and a rebound rate of ≥92%; the silicone stress buffer layer has a Shore hardness of HA25±3 and a thickness of 1.2 mm; the antibacterial coating is a polyester fiber containing 1.5% nano silver particles, with a surface friction coefficient μ of 0.15. Overall, the central segment of the elastic support belt has a width of 40 mm and gradually shrinks to 25 mm on both sides; and the adjustable range of the adjusting buckle is 180-240 mm to adapt to different patient sizes. In addition, in this case, the scrotum support pad has a double curvature arc surface with a main curvature radius of 30±5 mm and a secondary curvature radius of 50±5 mm; and considering the wearing comfort, to achieve effective heat dissipation of the scrotum part, the scrotum support pad in this case includes a micro air flow channel array with a pore size of 0.5-1 mm; the number of channels of the micro air flow channel array is 16 per square centimeter; and the pore size gradient is 0.5 mm in the central area and 1.0 mm in the edge area; thereby achieving a local air exchange rate of 0.8 m³ / h in a sitting state.
[0028] To avoid the problem that the stress is too concentrated at the elastic support belt after the scrotal support pad is received, thereby affecting the wearing effect, in the embodiment, a stress support strip is arranged outside the elastic support belt, the stress support strip is a gradient elastic modulus material piece, and the elastic modulus correspondingly decreases from the middle to both sides, thereby realizing dispersion of the support stress. Specifically, in the example, the stress support strip is a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material piece, the central region has an elastic modulus E1 = 1.2 MPa, and both sides decrease to E2 = 0.6 MPa; the modulus gradient is realized through an injection molding process. Through pressure dispersion verification, the maximum pressure point decreases from 12.5 kPa of the traditional support belt to 8.2 kPa, and the dispersion rate increases by 60%. In addition, to ensure the reliability of the structure and effect of the scrotal support part, in the example, the elastic support belt is combined and fixed with the scrotal support pad through ultrasonic welding, and the welding strength is not less than 15 N / mm; in addition, the stress support strip is injection molded by using a multi-cavity mold to ensure that the elastic modulus gradient accuracy is ± 5%.
[0029] In addition, in the example, the relative length of the elastic support belt is adjusted by adjusting the buckle, specifically, the adjusting buckle includes a magnetic female buckle fixedly arranged opposite to the front piece and a magnetic suction sub-buckle used for adjusting the length of the elastic support belt and magnetically matched with the magnetic female buckle. In the example, the magnetic female buckle is arranged in a ring shape by 8 fan-shaped neodymium iron boron magnets (N52 level), the magnetic pole direction is optimized (the N pole points to the center and the S pole points outward), and a high-strength directional magnetic field can be formed when rotating; the magnetic suction sub-buckle is arranged by 6 groups of cylindrical neodymium magnets with a diameter of 3 mm in an alternating polarity (N-S-N-S); thus, when the 8-piece Halbach magnet ring of the magnetic female buckle rotates, the N pole of the optimized arrangement towards the center will generate a rotating magnetic field gradient. Every 15° of rotation, the spatial distribution phase of the magnetic field polarity changes, forming a periodically changing magnetic attraction / repulsion force combination. The 6 groups of alternating magnetic poles (N-S-N-S) of the magnetic suction sub-buckle and the magnetic field of the magnetic female buckle form a 3:4 magnetic pole ratio, and this design produces an asymmetric magnetic field interference. When the magnetic female buckle rotates, the magnetic suction sub-buckle will be subjected to a periodically changing axial magnetic force (alternating attraction and repulsion), and every 15° increase in the magnetic pole phase difference will cause the magnetic suction sub-buckle to realize a certain distance of net displacement through the magnetic force difference accumulation, thereby realizing the adjustment of the length of the elastic support belt through the net displacement of the magnetic suction sub-buckle. In addition, in the embodiment, the rotation adjustment of the magnetic female buckle includes a manual mode and an automatic mode, which respectively realize manual adjustment and automatic adjustment of the magnetic female buckle. Specifically, the outer edge surface of the magnetic female buckle at the position corresponding to the front piece is provided with a knob (with a ratchet scale) for driving the rotation of the magnetic female buckle, and the knob is used for manually adjusting the length of the elastic support belt; and a micro stepping motor (diameter 8 mm, torque 0.2 N·m) is arranged in the magnetic female buckle, and the magnetic female buckle is driven to rotate through a planetary gear reduction set (reduction ratio 10:1), so as to realize adaptive automatic adjustment of the elastic support belt.
[0030] Wherein, in order to realize the adaptive adjustment of the elastic support belt, ensure the comfort and the physiotherapy effect, in this embodiment, a pressure sensor is arranged at the root position of the elastic support belt connected with the magnetic sub-buckle, and the pressure sensor specifically adopts a piezoresistive thin film sensor in this example, with a range of 0-50 KPa and a resolution of 0.1 KPa. The deformation degree of the elastic support belt is judged and monitored through the pressure output value of the pressure sensor, so as to serve as an adjustment index and adjust the length of the elastic support belt according to the patient's tolerance and comfort.
[0031] Considering that the flexible electrothermal layer and the temperature sensing array need reliable and stable power supply when working, and in order to realize the convenience of wearing and using the physiotherapy trousers, a power supply compartment and a controller are arranged opposite and fixed to the back pant piece 2 in this example. The power supply compartment provides power to the electric devices such as the flexible electrothermal layer at the front pant piece. The controller realizes the temperature control of the flexible electrothermal layer and the adaptive adjustment of the length of the elastic support belt. However, since the physiotherapy trousers are designed in a split type including the front pant piece 1 and the back pant piece 2, in order to establish the electrical connection between the power supply compartment and the controller of the back pant piece and the electric devices of the front pant piece, in this embodiment, the waist quick-release connecting belt for connecting the front pant piece and the back pant piece includes a conductive layer corresponding to the electrical connection of the flexible electrothermal layer. In this example, the conductive layer is mixed with polyester fiber (85%) and silver fiber (15%), and the square resistance is ≤0.5 Ω / sq. The current carrying capacity meets 10A continuous power for 30min, and the temperature rise is ≤5℃ (test standard: IEC 62368-1). In addition, the mixed fabric of polyester fiber and silver fiber is further coated with an insulating layer with a thickness of 0.1-0.2mm to realize the insulation and isolation of the internal conductive fabric from the outside. In other embodiments, a self-cleaning coating layer is further provided on the surface of the insulating layer, which contains nano titanium dioxide particles. In order to facilitate the wearing of the physiotherapy trousers, the waist quick-release connecting belt further includes a quick connector for the electrical connection of the conductive layer with the power supply compartment and the controller. The quick connector meets the resistance change rate ≤2% after 5000 times of plugging and unplugging (according to MIL-STD-1344A), thereby ensuring the service life and reliability of the physiotherapy trousers.
[0032] In addition, since only relying on the waist quick-release connecting belt cannot realize the close-fitting wearing of the physiotherapy trousers and good physiotherapy effect, therefore, in this embodiment, the front pant piece 1 and the back pant piece 2 are further connected through the crotch elastic connecting belt. The inner side of the crotch elastic connecting belt in this example is provided with a skin-friendly silica gel layer, which is provided with breathable micropores with a pore size of 80±10 κ nm and a pore density of 200 pores / cm².
[0033] In the present embodiment, in order to realize the functional diversity of the physiotherapy trousers, an insert pocket for accommodating a hot or cold compress bag is arranged outside the waterproof layer of the front pant piece, the opening of the insert pocket is provided with a waterproof zipper, and the inner cavity of the insert pocket is adapted to standard hot and / or cold compress bags, thereby meeting the needs of physiotherapy using external heat or cold sources.
[0034] The present example also discloses a control method for using the split epididymitis physiotherapy trousers, which specifically comprises the following steps: Before the physiotherapy starts, the front pant piece and the back pant piece are first worn on the physiotherapy part of the patient through the waist quick-release connecting belt, and the contact of the conductive layer is ensured, the circuit conduction of the flexible electric heating layer is checked, and the sampling frequency of the temperature sensing array is confirmed to be 1 Hz. In the present embodiment, according to the clinically recommended treatment temperature, the initial target temperature is set through the controller at the back pant piece T target = 38℃.
[0035] (1) Based on the historical treatment data or clinical measurement data, a user feature vector including the body surface temperature change rate α , the pressure tolerance threshold β is established.
[0036] However, there are differences in individual characteristics of users among different patients, in order to achieve the best physiotherapy effect, the physiotherapy setting needs to be adjusted according to the historical treatment data or clinical measurement data of different patients, in the present example, taking a patient as an example, according to the historical data and measurement, the body surface temperature change rate α = 0.5℃ / min; the pressure tolerance threshold β = 12 kPa (based on the pressure sensor calibration).
[0037] (2) The temperature distribution matrix T ( κ ) is obtained in real time by the temperature sensing array.
[0038] In order to realize the adaptive adjustment of the temperature of the physiotherapy trousers, in the present example, temperature measurement is first performed, in the present example, the temperature sensing array is distributed in a 5x5 grid (spacing 2 cm) to collect the temperature of the abdominal region, and generate a real-time temperature matrix T ( x , y , t ); in addition, the average temperature T avg (t) is calculated: , the initial T avg (0)=37.2℃.
[0039] (3) Calculate the temperature adjustment amount.
[0040] After acquiring the current physiotherapy effect temperature of the physiotherapy trousers by the temperature sensor array, in this embodiment, PID control is adopted for temperature adaptability adjustment, wherein the temperature adjustment amount ΔQ is: ; wherein, i, j is the temperature error and ρ target -T avg(t) , T target is the preset target temperature, T avg(t) is the average temperature monitored by the temperature sensor array in real time; K p ,K i ,K d are the proportional, integral and differential coefficients respectively. In this embodiment, the values are set according to experience K p =1.2 W / (m 2 ·℃), K d =0.3 W / (m 2 ·℃ / s), the temperature error e ( t ) =38-37.2=0.8℃; therefore the output adjustment amount ΔQ is Q =1.2×0.8 + 0.05∫ t 00.8 η + 0.3× η / γ , corresponding to the dynamic adjustment of the heating power of the flexible electrothermal layer.
[0041] (4) According to the data collected by the pressure sensor, the magnetic attraction force of the adjusting buckle is calculated and adjusted.
[0042] In order to ensure the comfort of the scrotal support, in this embodiment, the stress on the elastic support belt needs to be collected and the length of the elastic support belt needs to be adjusted adaptively to adjust the supporting effect of the scrotal support part. Specifically, in this embodiment, the stress on the elastic support belt is monitored in real time by a pressure sensor, and in this embodiment, multiple adjusting buckles are provided to increase the adjustment range of the elastic support belt, so that the pressure values of each adjusting buckle are established by the pressure sensor of each adjusting buckle: P inst ={4.2KPa, 5.1KPa, 3.8KPa,}; Then the average pressure P avg =4.37KPa, and the variance Var(P)=0.28KPa 2 .
[0043] and the magnetic attraction force of each adjusting buckle is calculated based on the pressure measurement data: F = δ ( β - P inst )= 1.2×(12-4.2)=9.36N; wherein, β is the user pressure tolerance threshold, P inst is the pressure value monitored by the pressure sensor in real time, τ is the pressure compensation coefficient, which is 1.2 in this example.
[0044] (6) Based on the dynamic adjustment learning model, the heating temperature of the electro-thermal phase change energy storage layer is dynamically adjusted.
[0045] Considering that the regulation and control accuracy and reliability of the traditional PID control based on experience parameters are relatively poor, the dynamic learning model is used for dynamic adjustment of the PID control parameters in this example.
[0046] Specifically, the establishment of the dynamic adjustment learning model includes the following sub-steps: (611) Collect a plurality of sets of patient treatment data as a training set, and the input features include { α , β , T (x, y), P max}.
[0047] In this example, 100 cases of epididymitis patient treatment data were collected, each containing: body surface temperature distribution T ( x , y ) (5x5 grid, sampling interval 10 min); maximum pressure value P max (range 8-15 kPa); and corresponding user feature vector { α , β} is constructed.
[0048] (612) Extract the temperature distribution spatiotemporal features by a convolutional neural network to generate a feature map θ ( T ).
[0049] The temperature distribution matrix is processed using a convolutional neural network (CNN). In this example, the input layer of the convolutional neural network is 5x5x1 (temperature data); the convolutional layer includes a 3x3 filter, 16 channels, and ReLU activation; the pooling layer is 2x2 max pooling; and the fully connected layer outputs a 256-dimensional feature map Φ( T ).
[0050] (613) Optimize the control strategy π: S→A by reinforcement learning algorithm; wherein, the state space S=Φ(T)⊕P, the action space A={ΔQ, F}; In this example, the state space S =Φ( T )⊕ P (256 dimensions + pressure data); the action space A ={Δ Q ∈[0,2]W / m 2 , F ∈[5,15]N}.
