[0007] Further, the preparation method of the temperature-sensitive absorbent swelling layer is as follows: S1, preparing a temperature-sensitive microgel dispersion liquid: N-isopropyl acrylamide is subjected to a free radical polymerization reaction to obtain a water dispersion liquid of poly-N-isopropyl acrylamide microgel; S2, preparing a pre-polymer mixed solution: dispersing the nanoclay in deionized water under the action of low temperature and shearing force to form a uniform slurry, the low temperature is 0-10 DEG C; then adding sodium acrylate, the temperature-sensitive microgel dispersion prepared in step S1 and a crosslinking agent into the slurry, and mixing uniformly to obtain a pre-polymer mixed solution; S3, in-situ polymerization: after the pre-polymer mixed solution is subjected to oxygen removal treatment, an initiator is added, and a static polymerization reaction is carried out under an inert atmosphere and at a temperature of 35 DEG C to 45 DEG C to form a composite hydrogel block; S4, post-treatment: the composite hydrogel block is subjected to shaping treatment, then is placed in an electrolyte solution for ion exchange treatment, and finally is dried at a temperature lower than 38 DEG C to obtain a temperature-sensitive water-absorbing and swelling layer.

[0008] Further, step S1 comprises: dissolving N-isopropyl acrylamide, N,N'-methylene bisacrylamide and potassium persulfate in deionized water, and reacting at 70 DEG C to 75 DEG C for 2-4 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere; after the reaction is completed, the product is purified by dialysis to obtain a poly-N-isopropyl acrylamide microgel water dispersion with a solid content of 1% to 3%.

[0009] Further, in step S2, the nanoclay is hectorite.

[0010] Further, in step S2, the weight fractions of the components are as follows: 8-12 parts of sodium acrylate, 0.5-1.5 parts of temperature-sensitive microgel dispersion in solid form, 1-2 parts of nanoclay, and 0.03-0.08 parts of N,N'-methylene bisacrylamide.

When the hot compress temperature is too high, the skin of the abdomen will sweat, the liquid absorption layer absorbs the sweat and transmits the sweat to the water absorption expansion layer at the edge, after the water absorption expansion layer absorbs the sweat, the volume will expand, thereby filling the space in the air inlet cavity, covering part of the air holes on the inner side wall and the outer side wall, slowing down the speed of air entering the heating cavity, thereby reducing the heating rate of the air-excited dressing, and reducing the temperature. It can be seen that the application also has the function of automatically controlling the heating rate of the air-excited dressing, which can effectively prevent overheating.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and examples. Example one

[0019] The abdominal hot compress device of the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The application relates to an abdominal hot compress device, which comprises a dressing chamber, and an air-excited dressing 1 is arranged in the dressing chamber, wherein the air-excited dressing 1 is a dressing capable of reacting with air and releasing heat.

[0020] The dressing chamber comprises a top wall 2, a bottom wall 3, an inner side wall 4 and an outer side wall 5, the top of the inner side wall 4 and the top of the outer side wall 5 are connected with the top wall 2, an air inlet cavity 6 is arranged between the inner side wall 4 and the outer side wall 5, and a plurality of air holes are arranged on the inner side wall 4 and the outer side wall 5, wherein the air holes are fine and dense small holes. The top wall 2 and the bottom wall 3 can be rectangular, circular or various shapes; the inner side wall 4 and the outer side wall 5 are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the top wall 2 and the bottom wall 3. The top wall 2, the bottom wall 3, the inner side wall 4 and the outer side wall 5 can be made of thin plastic material.

[0021] The bottom wall 3 is connected with the bottom of the inner side wall 4, and the bottom wall 3, the inner side wall 4 and the top wall 2 form a heating cavity, and the air-excited dressing 1 is located in the heating cavity. External air can enter the heating cavity through the air holes of the outer side wall 5, the air inlet cavity 6 and the air holes of the inner side wall 4 in sequence, thereby reacting with the air-excited dressing 1, so that the air-excited dressing 1 releases heat.

[0022] A liquid-absorbing layer 7 is provided on the lower surface of the bottom wall 3, and a water-absorbing and expanding layer 8 is connected to the edge of the liquid-absorbing layer 7. The water-absorbing and expanding layer 8 is located at the bottom of the air inlet chamber 6. The liquid-absorbing layer 7 is made of a material that easily absorbs sweat, which can prevent sweat from affecting the comfort of heat therapy. It is also used to transfer sweat to the water-absorbing and expanding layer 8. The liquid-absorbing layer 7 can be made of medical non-woven fabric. When it does not absorb water, the water-absorbing and expanding layer 8 has a small volume and will not block or cover the vents of the inner wall 4 and the outer wall 5. After absorbing sweat, it expands and increases in volume, which can cover the vents of the inner wall 4 and the outer wall 5. The coverage area is determined by the amount of water absorbed. When the amount of water absorbed is high enough, all the vents can be sealed.

[0023] A sealing protective layer 9 is provided on the outer surface of the outer wall 5 and the lower surface of the liquid-absorbing layer 7. The sealing protective layer 9 serves to seal and protect, preventing external air from entering the heating chamber when not in use, and also preventing external impurities from contaminating the liquid-absorbing layer 7.

[0024] When using the abdominal heat therapy device of the present invention, the sealing protective layer 9 is torn off, the liquid-absorbing layer 7 is to be attached to the abdominal skin, and the dressing chamber is fixed. Outside air enters the heating chamber through the air vents of the outer wall 5, the air inlet chamber 6 and the air vents of the inner wall 4 in sequence, and reacts with the air-activated dressing 1, so that the air-activated dressing 1 releases heat and the heat is transferred to the abdomen to achieve heat therapy on the abdomen.

[0025] When the heat application temperature is suitable, the amount of sweat produced on the abdomen is minimal, and the small amount of sweat is difficult to effectively transfer to the water-absorbing and swelling layer 8, so the volume of the water-absorbing and swelling layer 8 remains almost unchanged. When the heat application temperature is too high, the abdominal skin will sweat rapidly. After the sweat is absorbed by the absorbent layer 7, it is transferred to the water-absorbing and swelling layer 8. After absorbing the sweat, the volume of the water-absorbing and swelling layer 8 will increase rapidly, filling the space of the air inlet cavity 6 and sealing some or all of the air vents on the inner wall 4 and the outer wall 5. The speed at which outside air enters the heating cavity is slowed down, or it can no longer enter the heating cavity. The reaction rate of the air-activated dressing 1 is reduced, the heat release rate is reduced, and thus the heat application temperature is lowered.

[0026] When the body is at a comfortable heat application temperature, it typically doesn't sweat rapidly. Rapid sweating not only causes discomfort and makes one more susceptible to catching a chill afterward, but also indicates that the heat application temperature exceeds the comfortable range, meaning it's overheated. Therefore, this invention employs an automatic sweat-triggered overheat protection mechanism, eliminating the need for various sensors and maintaining a simple, compact, and cost-effective heat application device.

[0027] In order to keep the heat treatment temperature within a suitable range, that is, to slow down the reaction rate of the air-activated dressing 1 to cool it down when the temperature is too high, and to speed up the reaction rate of the air-activated dressing 1 to heat it up when the temperature is too low, the present invention provides a dehydration hole on the outer wall 5 at the bottom of the air inlet 6. A one-way moisture-wicking layer 10 is provided in the dehydration hole. The one-way moisture-wicking layer 10 is used to transport the sweat in the air inlet 6 to the outside of the outer wall 5 and evaporate it. Specifically, existing quick-drying materials such as CoolMax fabric can be used.

[0028] The water-absorbing and swelling layer 8 is a temperature-sensitive water-absorbing and swelling layer. Its water absorption and swelling temperature is 42-45℃, and its dehydration and shrinkage temperature is 35-38℃. The water absorption performance of the temperature-sensitive water-absorbing and swelling layer is affected by temperature. When the heat application temperature is below 42-45℃, the water absorption capacity of the layer is poor, and the expansion rate is slow. When the heat application temperature reaches 42-45℃, the water absorption capacity of the layer increases rapidly, becoming strong. At this temperature, if the skin produces a large amount of sweat, the layer can quickly absorb water and expand, slowing down the reaction rate of the air-activated dressing 1 and lowering the heat application temperature. When the heat application temperature is above 35-38℃, the dehydration rate of the layer is slow. When the temperature drops to 35-38℃, the dehydration rate increases rapidly. After dehydration, the layer shrinks, reducing its volume. This increases the speed at which air enters the heating chamber, enhancing the reaction of the air-activated dressing 1 and raising the heat application temperature. As can be seen, by using a temperature-sensitive absorbent expansion layer, the heat therapy temperature can be controlled between the dehydration shrinkage temperature and the water absorption expansion temperature, a temperature range that allows the human body to be in a relatively comfortable state. The water released from the temperature-sensitive absorbent expansion layer reaches the outside of the outer wall 5 through the one-way moisture-wicking layer 10 and evaporates and is discharged.

[0029] The raw materials for preparing the above-mentioned temperature-sensitive water-absorbing and swelling layer include: Sodium acrylate, used to form a superabsorbent network, 10 parts by weight, industrial grade, purity ≥98%; N-Isopropylacrylamide, used to synthesize thermosensitive microgels, 2-4 parts by weight, purity ≥98%; N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide, used as a crosslinking agent, 0.05-0.1 parts by weight, chemically pure; Potassium persulfate, used as a thermal initiator, 0.1-0.2 parts by weight, chemically pure; Lithium saponite, as a nano-clay, reinforcing agent and rheology modifier, 1-2 parts by weight, nanoscale sheets; Deionized water, 200-300 parts by weight; Nitrogen, used as an inert protective gas, is of industrial grade.

[0030] The preparation method is as follows: S1. Preparation of temperature-sensitive microgel dispersion: N-isopropylacrylamide is polymerized via free radical polymerization to obtain an aqueous dispersion of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgel. Specifically, N-isopropylacrylamide, N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide, and potassium persulfate are dissolved in deionized water and reacted at 70℃-75℃ for 2-4 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere to form a milky white dispersion. After the reaction, the dispersion is cooled to room temperature and dialyzed in deionized water for 3 days using a dialysis bag (molecular weight cutoff 8000-14000), changing the water 3 times a day to remove unreacted monomers and initiator fragments, obtaining an aqueous dispersion of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgel with a solid content of 1% to 3%.

[0031] S2. Preparation of prepolymerized mixture: Disperse nano-clay in deionized water under the action of low temperature (0-10℃) and shear force (obtained by high-speed stirring at a rate of 2000r / min) to prevent nano-clay agglomeration and form a uniform slurry. The nano-clay can be lithium saponite.

[0032] Subsequently, sodium acrylate, the thermosensitive microgel dispersion prepared in step S1, and the crosslinking agent were added to the slurry. The mixture was stirred in an ice-water bath for 1 hour to ensure uniform mixing, resulting in a prepolymerized mixture. The weight proportions of each component were as follows: sodium acrylate 8-12 parts, thermosensitive microgel dispersion 0.5-1.5 parts (solids), nanoclay 1-2 parts, and N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide 0.03-0.08 parts.

[0033] S3. In-situ polymerization: After continuously purging nitrogen gas into the prepolymer mixture for 30 minutes to remove oxygen, add potassium persulfate as an initiator, stir and mix, and carry out static polymerization reaction for 4-6 hours under an inert atmosphere and at a temperature of 35°C to 45°C. The solution will gradually gel and eventually form a monolithic, elastic, and transparent composite hydrogel block.

[0034] S4. Post-processing: The composite hydrogel block is shaped, specifically by cutting with a mold or directly slicing to the required size.

[0035] The gel was then subjected to ion exchange treatment in an electrolyte solution, using a 0.5 mol / L sodium chloride solution, for 24 hours. During this process, sodium ions partially replaced hydrogen ions in the gel network, significantly improving the gel's mechanical strength, stability under repeated swelling and shrinkage, and making its swelling behavior more controllable.

[0036] Finally, the material is dried at a temperature below 38°C (preferably 35°C) to obtain a temperature-sensitive water-absorbing and swelling layer.

[0037] The low critical solution temperature (LCST) of traditional poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) gel is approximately 32°C. Below this temperature, the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) gel hydrophilically swells. In this invention, the sodium acrylate superabsorbent network polymerized in situ in step S3 forms an interpenetrating network with the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide). When the temperature rises to 42-45°C, the strong hydrophilic groups (carboxylate ions) of sodium acrylate overcome the hydrophobic shrinkage tendency of N-isopropylacrylamide, forcing the gel to reabsorb water and swell. When the temperature drops back to 35-38°C, the hydrophobic shrinkage of N-isopropylacrylamide becomes dominant, leading to overall gel dehydration and shrinkage. The nanosheet lithium saponite forms physical cross-linking points in the gel, which not only improves the mechanical strength of the gel and avoids damage caused by repeated swelling and shrinkage, but also slows down the rate of water absorption and desorption, making the temperature-sensitive response more stable and preventing "uncontrolled swelling and shrinkage" during sudden temperature changes.

[0038] In step S3, the polymerization temperature is set to 35-45℃, which precisely covers the phase transition range of the gel. This promotes the formation of a more uniform interpenetrating network between sodium acrylate and N-isopropylacrylamide microgel, preventing premature hydrophobic aggregation of N-isopropylacrylamide due to excessively high polymerization temperature, and ensuring the consistency of the temperature-sensitive properties of the final product.

[0039] In step S4, the gel is soaked in a 0.5 mol / L NaCl solution. Sodium ions replace the free hydrogen ions in the gel network, neutralizing some of the carboxyl groups and precisely adjusting the balance between hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity. This makes the temperature thresholds for expansion and contraction more precise and improves the cycling stability (the expansion / contraction ratio decreases by ≤8% after 50 cycles).

[0040] The nanosheet lithium saponite forms physical cross-linking points in the gel, which not only improves the mechanical strength of the gel and avoids damage caused by repeated swelling and shrinkage, but also slows down the rate of water absorption and desorption, making the temperature-sensitive response more stable and preventing "uncontrolled expansion and contraction" when the temperature changes suddenly.

[0041] In this embodiment, the air-activated dressing 1 is an iron powder dressing, which can be made using existing commonly used formulas.

[0042] In this embodiment of the abdominal heat therapy device, an adhesive layer 11 can be provided in the absorbent layer 7, and the sealing protective layer 9 is a release film. When in use, the entire abdominal heat therapy device is adhered to the abdomen through the adhesive layer 11; after heat therapy, the abdominal heat therapy device is torn off and discarded.

[0043] The abdominal heat therapy device in this embodiment is a disposable product, suitable for home, outings and other scenarios, and is convenient to carry and use. Example 2

[0044] The abdominal heat therapy device in this embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, based on Example 1, the structure of the dressing chamber is changed. At the same time, the air-activated dressing 1 uses polypyrrole doped with p-toluenesulfonate. This air-activated dressing 1 can be regenerated and reused.

[0045] Specifically, the raw materials for preparing air-activated dressing 1 include: Pyrrole, as the main monomer for polymerization, was purified by distillation (≥99%) and stored refrigerated and protected from light. Ferric p-toluenesulfonate serves as both an oxidant and a dopant source. Sodium p-toluenesulfonate, as an additional dopant and reaction medium; Deionized water and ethanol are mixed solvents, with a volume ratio of 4:1.

[0046] The preparation method is as follows: pyrrole is added dropwise to an aqueous reaction medium containing ferric p-toluenesulfonate and sodium p-toluenesulfonate at 0℃ to 10℃ to carry out an oxidative polymerization reaction. The reactants are stirred. The aqueous reaction medium is a mixed solvent of deionized water and ethanol. The molar ratio of ferric p-toluenesulfonate, sodium p-toluenesulfonate and pyrrole is (0.3-0.4):(0.8-1.2):1. The dropping rate of pyrrole is 0.2-0.4 mL / s. After the dropping is completed, the reaction is continued for 12-24 hours under ice-water bath conditions at 0-5℃.

[0047] After the reaction, the product was separated, washed, and dried to obtain the polypyrrole composite material. Specifically, the product was filtered using a Buchner funnel to obtain a black precipitate. The precipitate was washed with a large amount of deionized water until the filtrate was colorless to remove sodium ions, unreacted ferrous ions, ferric ions, etc. It was then washed twice with anhydrous ethanol to remove oligomers and residual water. The filter cake was placed in a vacuum drying oven and dried at 50-60°C for 24-48 hours to obtain a dry, black powdery polypyrrole composite material.

[0048] A slurry is prepared by mixing polypyrrole composite material with carbon nanomaterials and an adhesive. The adhesive can be an aqueous polyurethane dispersion. The weight ratio of polypyrrole composite material to carbon nanomaterials and adhesive is 70:15:15. After mixing, the mixture is ground to obtain a uniform slurry. The slurry is coated onto a substrate and dried to obtain a flexible polypyrrole membrane with a porous structure, which is the air-activated dressing 1.

[0049] The air-activated dressing 1 prepared in this embodiment exhibits polypyrrole molecular chains capable of undergoing an oxidation reaction with oxygen. The conjugated double bonds in the polypyrrole molecules lose electrons, completing the oxidation doping process. The reaction releases a mild amount of heat, with the temperature ranging from 32°C to 45°C. The reaction rate can be adjusted by controlling the oxygen supply rate, thereby controlling the temperature. The addition of carbon nanomaterials enhances the material's conductivity and porosity, accelerates oxygen diffusion, and makes the heat release rate more uniform.

[0050] The polypyrrole doped with p-toluenesulfonate is a regenerable and reusable air-activated dressing 1. In order to facilitate the handling of the air-activated dressing 1, this embodiment has a repeatedly openable and closable door 12 on the top wall 2. After the door 12 is opened, the air-activated dressing 1 in the heating chamber can be taken out and regenerated, or the regenerated air-activated dressing 1 can be put into the heating chamber.

[0051] To facilitate fixing the dressing chamber to the abdomen, it can be glued or a positioning strap 13 can be provided on the outer wall 5. When in use, the positioning strap 13 can be tied around the waist.

[0052] This embodiment is suitable for centralized use in medical institutions. After use, multiple air-activated dressings 1 can be collected and regenerated, realizing the reuse of air-activated dressings 1. The regeneration process of air-activated dressing 1 in this embodiment is as follows: Configure an electrolytic cell, and fill the electrolytic cell with an electrolyte, which can be physiological saline. The electrolytic cell is equipped with a working electrode and a counter electrode. The working electrode is used to connect the air-activated dressing 1, and the counter electrode can be a carbon rod. Configure a potentiostat that can output a stable and controllable negative voltage, such as -0.5V to -0.8V. The WE interface of the potentiostat is connected to the working electrode, and the CE interface is connected to the counter electrode. Connect the used air-excited dressing 1 to the working electrode and immerse it in the electrolyte. Start the potentiostat and run it for 20-40 minutes. Remove the air-excited dressing 1, rinse it with water, vacuum dry it, and then put it into the heating chamber.

[0053] By applying a negative voltage, oxidized polypyrrole can be reduced to a lower oxidation state, allowing the polypyrrole molecular chains to gain electrons and regain their ability to excite and release heat in air, thus achieving regeneration.

[0054] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
