[0023] Further, the cold and hot treatment assembly comprises a TEC assembly 9 arranged in the insertion groove 3, the flow guide film 4 is arranged on one side of the cold and hot end of the TEC assembly 9, the TEC assembly 9 is adopted in the cold and hot treatment assembly, the thermoelectric effect of the TEC assembly 9 is utilized, the ice compressing and hot compressing mode switching can be realized through the current direction switching, the double-mode treatment demand is met, meanwhile, the TEC assembly 9 is a single module 10x10x0.8cm, and the weight is ≤120g, so that the influence on the movement of the horse is reduced due to the lightweight design.
[0024] Further, the temperature conduction assembly 10 comprises a honeycomb-shaped heat transfer layer 19 arranged on one side of the belt body 1 and silica gel 18 arranged on one side of the heat transfer layer 19, which is attached to the horse leg through the silica gel 18. The heat transfer layer 19 is integrally formed by aluminum. The heat transfer layer 19 is integrally formed by aluminum and has a honeycomb shape. Aluminum itself has excellent heat conduction performance and can quickly and uniformly conduct the temperature generated by the cold and hot treatment assembly. The honeycomb structure increases the surface area of heat transfer and further improves the heat exchange efficiency, so that the treatment temperature can act on the horse leg more quickly, ensuring the timeliness of the treatment effect. In terms of attachment to the horse leg, the honeycomb structure of the heat transfer layer 19 has a certain elasticity and deformation ability, which can better adapt to different contours and radii of the horse leg.

The TEC assembly 9 can be replaced, repaired or adjusted in number according to the treatment needs, improving the flexibility and maintenance convenience of the device. Moreover, one side of the slot 3 is provided with a sealing gasket (not shown in the figure), which seals the TEC assembly 9 when the TEC assembly 9 is installed in the slot 3.
[0026] Further, one side of the slot 3 is provided with an opening 16, and one side of the TEC assembly 9 is provided with a heat dissipation device 17, and the heat dissipation device 17 extends to the outside of the belt body 1 through the opening 16.

[0028] Further, the binding assembly includes two groups of binding belt assemblies arranged on both sides of the belt body 1, each group of the binding belt assembly includes two binding belt bodies 11, and a magnetic buckle assembly is arranged on each of the two binding belt bodies 11, so as to bind the two groups of binding belt assemblies together and fix the belt body 1 on the horse leg. The two groups of binding belt assemblies cooperate with the magnetic buckle assembly, so that the binding operation of the device is convenient and fast, the tightness can be flexibly adjusted according to the thickness of the horse leg, the two binding belt bodies 11 fix the belt body 1 from multiple directions, and the stable connection of the magnetic buckle can effectively prevent the device from slipping off when the horse moves.
[0029] The magnetic buckle assembly includes a metal fastener arranged on one of the binding belt bodies 11 and an electromagnet arranged on one side of the other binding belt body 11. When the two parts are close to each other, the electromagnet generates an attractive force to adsorb the metal fastener, so as to connect the two binding belt bodies 11 together. The electromagnet and the metal fastener are prior art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0030] The temperature of the TEC assembly 9 is detected by a thermistor, and a control processor receives a signal of the thermistor and compares the signal with a preset overheating threshold value. Once the temperature exceeds the threshold value, the control processor outputs a control signal through a Bluetooth communication module 13, and the electromagnet receives the signal to power off the electromagnet, so that the magnetic field disappears and the adsorption force of the metal fastener disappears immediately, so that the two binding belt bodies 11 are separated and the belt body 1 is quickly separated from the horse body.
[0031] The thermistor and the control processor are prior art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0032] Further, a detachable battery 12 is arranged on one side of the belt body 1, and the battery 12 is connected with a Bluetooth communication module 13 through a wire. The detachable battery 12 is convenient for replacement and charging at any time, so as to ensure that the Bluetooth communication module 13 can still work normally without external power supply, improve portability, and make the device connect with a control terminal through a wireless way to realize remote control and data monitoring, simplify the operation process, and improve the use convenience.
[0033] The Bluetooth communication module 13 includes a Bluetooth chip, which is a core component of the module and is responsible for processing Bluetooth communication protocols, managing connections, data transmission and the like. A PCB board is used to carry the Bluetooth chip and peripheral devices, and is usually a multi-layer board (such as a 4-layer board). Some modules integrate a 2.4G printed board antenna to improve cost performance. Peripheral devices include flash memory (such as SSTFlash), resistors, capacitors and the like, which are used to support chip operation and signal processing and antennas. The antennas are divided into built-in (such as printed board antennas) or external antennas, which are responsible for signal transmission and reception and directly affect transmission stability and distance. The Bluetooth communication module 13 is prior art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0034] The battery 12 is connected to the TEC assembly 9 through the guide, and the TEC assembly 9 is powered to perform treatment work.
[0035] Further, the binding belt body 11 is provided in a three-layer structure, and from inside to outside, it is sequentially provided with an inner layer, a middle layer and an outer layer. The inner layer is attached to one side of the belt body 1. The inner layer, the middle layer and the outer layer are integrally formed by using antibacterial silver fiber, carbon fiber and biomimetic glue patterned silicone 18 respectively. The three-layer structure of the binding belt body 11 has clear division of labor. The inner layer is attached to the belt body 1 to ensure the stability of the connection between the binding belt and the device. The middle layer provides structural support and strength. The outer layer directly contacts the horse to improve the overall durability and adaptability of the binding belt. The layered design makes the binding belt have sufficient strength while maintaining a certain flexibility to adapt to the changes in the limbs of the horse during movement, avoiding excessive restraint or looseness. The inner layer of antibacterial silver fiber can inhibit bacterial growth and reduce the risk of skin infection caused by long-term wearing, keeping the horse's skin healthy. The middle layer of carbon fiber significantly improves the tensile strength and toughness of the binding belt to prevent it from breaking due to the movement of the horse during use. The outer layer of biomimetic glue patterned silicone 18 makes the wet friction coefficient of the binding belt surface ≥0.8, enhancing the friction force with the horse's body and effectively preventing slipping. The integrally formed process ensures that the three-layer structure is tightly combined and not easily layered, improving the service life and overall performance of the binding belt.
[0036] Further, a vibration sensor (not shown in the figure) is installed in the binding belt body 11 to detect whether the horse is restless. The vibration sensor can be arranged on one side of the binding belt body 11 by sewing process. The vibration sensor in the binding belt body 11 can detect in real time whether the horse is restless. When the horse is restless, a signal can be sent in time (which can be transmitted through the Bluetooth communication module 13) to remind the user to take appropriate measures to avoid the device from being displaced, damaged or affecting the treatment effect due to the horse's restlessness, ensuring the smooth progress of the treatment process. The vibration sensor is connected to the battery 12 through wires, allowing the vibration sensor to work.
[0037] Further, the plurality of insertion slots 3 are arranged in a rectangular array in the mounting slot 2. Different numbers of TEC assemblies 9 can be installed according to different treatment sites. The insertion slots 3 are arranged in a rectangular array with a maximum of 6x6 array, allowing different numbers of TEC assemblies 9 to be installed flexibly according to the different treatment sites of the horse's leg, to achieve targeted treatment. For example: 3x3 array for the front leg joint (knee ring wrapping), 4x2 array for the muscle of the hind leg (distributed longitudinally along the gastrocnemius muscle), and 2x4 array for the back (parallel to the spine). This avoids energy waste, improves the accuracy and economy of treatment, and makes the device adaptable to the treatment needs of different parts of the horse's leg.
[0038] The above merely describes preferred specific embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present application, makes equivalent replacement or change within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
