[0002] Medical aesthetics refers to cosmetic procedures, which, simply put, are medical practices that use medical means (surgery, minimally invasive procedures, medications, phototherapy devices, etc.) to improve, repair, and beautify appearance and body shape. It falls under the medical field and is not ordinary skincare. Because it involves surgical procedures, postoperative swelling, bruising, and other temporary discomfort may occur. Cold or hot compresses can reduce or eliminate these side effects. Hot compress devices are such devices that can provide auxiliary treatment to the body. They can help patients improve local blood circulation, metabolize fluid and edema in the interstitial spaces more quickly, and shorten the swelling period. They can also relieve postoperative tightness, hardening, soreness, and mild stinging, relax the skin and soft tissues, improve local microcirculation, and help the skin barrier and subcutaneous soft tissues repair and heal faster.

[0003] However, since there is currently no dedicated equipment for applying cold or hot compresses to patients, the only methods available are water bags, infrared radiation, etc. The temperature cannot be controlled, resulting in poor effectiveness and failing to help patients quickly eliminate edema and tightness and promote rapid repair and healing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, this application provides an intelligent exchangeable hot and cold compress physiotherapy system with a rapid replacement function, which is used to apply hot and cold compresses to the surgical site to help patients eliminate edema and tightness as soon as possible and help them to repair and heal quickly.

[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an intelligent exchangeable hot and cold compress therapy system with rapid replacement function according to an embodiment of this application.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the intelligent interchangeable hot and cold compress physiotherapy system provided in this embodiment has a rapid replacement function, used to apply hot or cold compresses to the surgical site of the patient to help the surgical site eliminate edema and tightness as quickly as possible, and to help it repair and heal rapidly. The system includes an intelligent temperature control host 100 and a passive dressing module 200 that can be interchangeably connected to the intelligent temperature control host via a quick connector.

[0043] The intelligent temperature control unit has a built-in liquid storage tank for heating or cooling the circulating fluid to maintain it at a preset temperature. This preset temperature is used for applying hot or cold compresses to the patient, and the specific temperature can be determined according to relevant medical hot and cold compress standards. Furthermore, the intelligent temperature control unit can inject circulating fluid meeting the required temperature into the passive dressing module via a pump and valve assembly, replacing the original fluid. It should be noted that the original fluid in the passive dressing and the circulating fluid are the same type of fluid.

[0044] The passive dressing module is applied to the patient's surgical site to provide cold or hot compresses based on the heat from the circulating fluid. During the cold or hot compress process, the temperature, duration, and temperature variation can all be controlled by setting the intelligent temperature control unit. In other words, this intelligent temperature control unit has an intelligent control module that executes the corresponding program to achieve the above objectives.

[0045] In addition, the passive dressing module can maintain the liquid inside after being disconnected from the intelligent temperature control host. It can not only maintain the liquid volume but also maintain the temperature for a certain period of time, thereby enabling continuous cold or hot compresses to the surgical site without a passive connection.

[0046] The intelligent temperature control unit includes a housing and a human-machine interface module mounted on the housing, as well as a power module, a thermal management subsystem, and a liquid circulation subsystem located inside the housing. The power module supplies power to the human-machine interface module, the thermal management subsystem, and the liquid circulation subsystem to maintain their functions.

[0047] The human-machine interface module responds to user commands via a user interface to set or reset preset temperatures, hot / cold compress durations, and temperature change patterns. The thermal management subsystem heats or cools the circulating fluid based on power supplied by the power module. The liquid circulation subsystem circulates the circulating fluid between itself and the passive application module.

[0048] The thermal management subsystem includes a first circulation loop and a second circulation loop, which are independent of each other and coupled through an insulated reservoir. The first circulation loop is used to heat or cool the circulating fluid and dissipate heat to the environment through a heat dissipation assembly. Specifically, the first circulation loop includes a thermoelectric cooler, a heat pump, and a heat sink; the heat pump drives the circulating fluid to circulate between the hot end of the thermoelectric cooler and the heat sink. The second circulation loop is used to deliver the circulating fluid at a preset temperature to the passive application module. The second circulation loop includes an application pump, which drives the circulating fluid to circulate between the reservoir and the application module.

[0049] The start-up of the dressing pump is controlled by the main control MCU based on the connection status of the dressing module. Upon initial connection, the dressing pump runs for a first preset duration to inject circulating liquid at a preset temperature from the reservoir into the passive dressing module. When the passive dressing module is reconnected, the dressing pump runs again for a second preset duration to replace the liquid in the passive dressing module back into the reservoir. Both the first and second preset durations can be set via operation commands. The dressing pump is controlled by an independent relay, and its start and stop are entirely determined by the main control MCU based on status logic.

[0050] The passive dressing module of this application has a three-layer, two-cavity structure, including a first cavity and a second cavity, such as... Figure 2 As shown. The first cavity is used for circulating fluid and is formed by hot pressing of a TPU film; the second cavity is arranged parallel to the first cavity and carries a phase change material inside, also formed by hot pressing of a TPU film. The phase change temperature of the phase change material is 5℃ or 42℃, where 5℃ corresponds to the cold compress temperature and 42℃ corresponds to the hot compress temperature.

[0051] The intelligent temperature control unit also includes a communication module that connects to the thermal management system. This module uploads the unit's operating parameters to the cloud and receives setting parameters from the cloud. The cloud platform includes a cloud service and management platform (e.g., 300). Figure 3 As shown. The cloud service and management platform includes a device management module, a user management module, a payment and billing module, and an instruction issuance module. These modules are used to receive user rental requests, generate authorization instructions and issue them to the intelligent temperature control host, record the rental period, and send a lock instruction to the intelligent temperature control host at the end of the rental period to control the host to perform a lock operation, meaning the user no longer has the right to use the service. This module also handles user payments, rental renewals, and return operations.

[0052] The intelligent temperature control unit also includes an electronic lock module 101, such as... Figure 4As shown, the electronic lock module is connected in series in the main power circuit of the intelligent temperature controller and is in the off state by default, locking the entire unit when power is off. After the intelligent temperature controller receives the authorization command from the cloud via the communication module, it controls the electronic lock module to close, putting the entire unit into a usable state. The electronic lock module can be implemented using a relay or a thyristor, and its control terminal is connected to and controlled by the main control MCU.

The system includes an intelligent temperature control host and an exchangeable passive dressing module connected to the intelligent temperature control host via pipelines. The intelligent temperature control host performs heating or cooling operations based on user-set hot and cold compress parameters, and circulates a pre-set temperature circulating fluid between itself and the exchangeable passive dressing module via pipelines, allowing for rapid replacement of the circulating fluid. The exchangeable passive dressing module is applied to the patient's surgical site to achieve cold or hot compresses based on the circulating fluid at a preset temperature and set compress duration. The passive dressing module includes a detachable dressing for direct application to the surgical site.
