Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine massage technology, and in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture massage device and temperature control system. Background Technology
[0002] Clinically, many patients with spinal diseases, such as scoliosis and thoracolumbar fasciitis, often experience a feeling of tension and tightness in the affected area. Taking the chest and back as an example, through palpation, doctors can find many stubborn muscle knots on the inner side of the scapula and both sides of the spine. Traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and massage, as important diagnostic and treatment methods, usually use kneading or plucking techniques to focus on loosening the muscle knots. This is time-consuming and laborious. The strength, frequency, and temperature of manual massage depend on the experience and judgment of the operator, making it difficult to achieve standardized and precise control. Uneven strength, excessively high or low temperature can easily affect the treatment effect and even cause safety hazards such as skin burns. Summary of the Invention

A connecting leg is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the connecting plate. A telescopic sleeve is provided at the end of each connecting leg. A spring is arranged around the outside of the telescopic sleeve. A massage head is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the telescopic sleeve.
[0009] Furthermore, a temperature control system, applied to the aforementioned traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and massage device, includes: The temperature acquisition module is installed on the inner wall of the moxibustion device and inside the massage head of the massage device. It is configured to collect the core temperature of moxibustion inside the moxibustion device and the actual perceived temperature on the patient's skin surface in real time. The central control module is configured to be electrically connected to the temperature acquisition module, the execution adjustment module and the feedback calibration module respectively. It pre-stores the target temperature range corresponding to different massage programs, receives real-time temperature data transmitted by the temperature acquisition module, and generates temperature adjustment commands through comparative analysis. The execution adjustment module is linked with the suction fan and toggle mechanism of the moxibustion device. It is configured to respond to the adjustment command of the central control module and realize the bidirectional adjustment of the moxibustion temperature by adjusting the working intensity of the suction fan and the size of the heat dissipation vent of the rotating ring. The feedback calibration module, in conjunction with the camera and temperature acquisition module, is configured to dynamically calibrate the temperature regulation effect based on images of the patient's back skin condition and real-time temperature data, ensuring that the temperature is always within the target temperature range. The temperature acquisition module includes a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor. The first temperature sensor is embedded in the inner wall of the moxibustion mechanism and is located near the heat transfer port of the moving tray. It is used to collect the core heating temperature inside the moxibustion mechanism. The second temperature sensor is integrated into the bottom end face of the massage head and uses a contact temperature measuring element to collect the actual perceived temperature of the patient's skin surface.
[0010] Furthermore, the central control module includes a temperature analysis unit, an instruction generation unit, a scheme storage unit, and a temperature prediction unit; The solution storage unit pre-stores at least 3 sets of target temperature ranges corresponding to different massage scenarios. The target temperature ranges include the core temperature range of moxibustion and the temperature range of body sensation. The target temperature ranges under different scenarios can be customized and modified by external terminals. The temperature analysis unit receives standardized temperature data and calculates the first difference between the moxibustion core temperature and the corresponding target core temperature, and the second difference between the perceived temperature and the corresponding target perceived temperature. When the first difference or the second difference exceeds the preset allowable deviation, the temperature adjustment logic is triggered. The instruction generation unit generates adjustment instructions based on the difference magnitude and direction. The adjustment instructions include the speed adjustment parameters of the suction fan and the rotation angle parameters of the rotating ring of the toggle mechanism. The speed adjustment parameters correspond to the working intensity of the suction fan from level 0 to 5, and the rotation angle parameters correspond to the opening degree of the heat dissipation vent from 0 to 100%. The temperature prediction unit constructs a temperature change prediction model based on the historical temperature data from the temperature acquisition module and the adjustment records from the execution adjustment module, and calculates the predicted stable temperature after temperature adjustment through the temperature change prediction model. When the predicted stable temperature exceeds the target temperature range, the temperature prediction unit corrects the adjustment command parameters in advance to achieve predictive temperature adjustment and reduce temperature fluctuations.
[0011] Furthermore, the execution adjustment module includes a fan drive unit and a rotary drive unit; The fan drive unit is electrically connected to the suction fan, and controls the motor speed of the suction fan based on the speed adjustment parameters to adjust the heat flow extraction rate inside the moxibustion mechanism; The rotating ring drive unit is electrically connected to the second motor of the toggle mechanism, and controls the rotation angle of the second motor based on the rotation angle parameter to control the size of the opening.
[0012] Furthermore, methods for constructing temperature change prediction models include: Historical temperature data of multiple acupoint areas collected by the temperature acquisition module of a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and massage device are obtained to establish an acupoint thermal characteristic database. The acupoint thermal characteristic database includes the skin thickness, thermal conductivity coefficient, and blood vessel distribution density of each acupoint. Based on the acupoint thermal characteristic database, the acupoint thermal response weights are calculated, a weighted covariance matrix is constructed and the eigenvalues are solved. The eigenvectors with a cumulative contribution rate ≥95% are selected to generate a personalized spatial basis function set. Integrate historical temperature data from the temperature acquisition module, massage operation history records from the execution adjustment module, and acupoint thermal characteristic database; extract preset key time points based on timestamps, calculate dynamic temperature gradient, weighted temperature summation, pressure-temperature sensitivity, and mode adaptation features, and construct a massage operation-temperature coupling feature vector; The massage operation-temperature coupled feature vector is concatenated with a personalized spatial basis function set as input. An improved LSTM forget gate is introduced to introduce a massage frequency rhythm factor. A 3-layer LSTM network and a dropout layer are used to capture the temperature time-series dependency and output low-dimensional time-series features. The low-dimensional temporal features and the massage operation-temperature coupling feature vector are fused as input to construct a 4-layer ELM-AE stacked structure. The improved FLOO-CV algorithm is used to optimize the ridge parameters of each layer. The massage operation stability coefficient is introduced to correct the error calculation. The temperature of multiple acupoints is reconstructed based on the kernel function-personalized K-ELM. The reconstruction error is defined as the difference between the actual temperature and the reconstruction temperature. An operating state factor is introduced to decouple the error into the product of the spatial basis function and the time coefficient. The time coefficient is predicted by the ELM model, and the error compensation output is obtained by combining the personalized spatial basis function. A total loss function is constructed that includes temperature prediction error and massage rhythm penalty term. The parameters of the LSTM network are dynamically adjusted based on the variable parametric neurodynamic equation. The convergence speed of the variable parametric neurodynamic equation changes dynamically with the massage frequency. The parameters are iteratively updated by Euler discretization method. The temperature change prediction model is obtained by superimposing the ML-ELM reconstruction output with the error compensation output.
[0013] Furthermore, the feedback calibration module includes: The first calculation submodule is used to: determine the standard deviation of the back temperature distribution and the average back temperature based on real-time back temperature data; and determine the back heat distribution uniformity index based on the standard deviation of the back temperature distribution and the average back temperature.

Based on these proportions, determine the abnormal skin condition index. Calculate the real-time temperature difference ratio of the back based on real-time back temperature data; The skin thermal response coefficient is calculated based on the back heat distribution uniformity index, skin condition abnormality index, and back real-time temperature difference ratio. ; in, The skin thermal response coefficient; These are the weighting coefficients; To continuously adjust the time; The thermal relaxation time constant of the organization; The ratio of real-time temperature difference on the back; This is an index of abnormal skin condition; It is the heat distribution uniformity index; The second calculation submodule is used to calculate the adaptive temperature correction based on the skin thermal response coefficient. in, This is an adaptive temperature correction amount; It is the biological rhythm cycle; To control the cycle; This is the proportionality coefficient; The integral coefficient; These are the differential coefficients; To modulate the amplitude of physiological rhythms; For at a certain point in time The skin thermal response coefficient; The calibration submodule is used to determine the final temperature setpoint based on the real-time back temperature and the adaptive temperature correction amount; and to dynamically calibrate the temperature regulation effect based on the final temperature setpoint.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The massage component of this invention achieves precise displacement between the moxibustion mechanism and the massage mechanism through a dual-axis moving rail. It automatically adapts to the patient's back condition with the help of a camera. The temperature control system is equipped with dual sensors to collect the core temperature of moxibustion and the skin's perceived temperature, breaking through the limitations of manual adjustment in traditional equipment. It achieves automatic and precise positioning of the massage and moxibustion position. Furthermore, it avoids single data deviation through dual-dimensional temperature measurement, providing comprehensive and reliable data support for temperature adjustment, effectively preventing burns or insufficient therapeutic effect, and greatly improving the safety, accuracy, and comfort of treatment. It is suitable for patients of different body types and various spinal disease treatment needs.
[0015] 2. This invention uses a first motor to drive the moxibustion mechanism and the massage mechanism to rotate. The telescopic sleeve of the massage mechanism, in conjunction with a spring, provides elastic massage. The central control module of the temperature control system integrates multiple unit functions, pre-stores a customizable target temperature range, generates adjustment commands through difference analysis, and achieves predictive adjustment by combining a temperature prediction model. This makes the massage movements more in line with the body's needs, significantly relieving muscle knots. At the same time, it does not require real-time manual intervention, automatically completing temperature comparison, command generation, and parameter correction. This solves the problems of low efficiency and strong lag in traditional manual temperature control, reduces temperature fluctuations, ensures stable heat output, enhances the synergistic therapeutic effect of moxibustion and massage, and reduces the operational and monitoring burden on medical staff.

The execution and adjustment module of the temperature control system links the two, achieving bidirectional temperature control through speed adjustment and heat dissipation vent opening control. The feedback calibration module dynamically calibrates the temperature based on the skin condition collected by the camera. The dual-path adjustment mechanism significantly improves the temperature control accuracy and response speed. The dynamic calibration function ensures that the temperature is adapted to individual patient differences, keeping the moxibustion temperature stable within the target range. At the same time, it does not require additional complex components, adapts to the original structure of the equipment, simplifies the overall design and reduces production costs. It is easy to operate and has strong universality, suitable for various TCM diagnosis and treatment scenarios. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-7 The present invention provides the following technical solutions: A traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and massage device includes a massage component 1, a lifting frame 2 and a lifting column 3. The massage component 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting frame 2. One side of the lifting frame 2 is located on the side of the lifting column 3. The lifting column 3 is equipped with a drive component for driving the lifting frame 2 to move horizontally. A movable base 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting column 3. The massage component 1 includes an outer cover 11. Inside the outer cover 11, there are at least 6 sets of dual-axis moving rails 12. Each set of dual-axis moving rails 12 is equipped with a moxibustion mechanism 13. The dual-axis moving rail 12 includes two parallel horizontal rails and one vertical rail. The top of the horizontal rail is fixedly connected to the inner top of the outer cover 11. The two ends of the vertical rail are slidably connected to the two horizontal rails through an electrically driven moving carriage assembly. The top of the moxibustion mechanism 13 is slidably connected to the vertical rail through an electrically driven moving carriage assembly. The bottom of the moxibustion mechanism 13 is fixedly connected to a massage mechanism 14. The positions of the moxibustion mechanism 13 and the massage mechanism 14 can be driven by the dual-axis moving rails 12, so that the position of the moxibustion and massage can be adjusted according to the patient's condition. A camera 21 is installed at the bottom of the lifting frame 2. The camera 21 is positioned directly below the massage component 1. The image of the patient's back captured by the camera 21 is combined with the massage plan selected by the medical staff. The positions of the moxibustion mechanism 13 and the massage mechanism 14 are automatically adjusted by the dual-axis moving rail 12 to automatically adapt to the patient's back condition and massage needs.
[0021] In the above embodiments, the massage components, lifting frame, and lifting column are modularly designed and combined with a mobile base to enable flexible movement of the device, meeting the needs of different treatment scenarios. The dual-axis moving rail adopts a combination structure of horizontal and vertical rails, combined with an electric-driven moving vehicle component, to achieve precise displacement of the moxibustion mechanism and the massage mechanism on the horizontal plane, breaking through the limitations of traditional manual adjustment. After the camera captures the image of the patient's back, the system can automatically match the massage plan and adjust the position of the mechanism without the need for medical staff to manually position it. This not only reduces the difficulty of operation, but also adapts to the back contours of patients of different body types, ensuring that the massage and moxibustion act on precise acupoints and improve the treatment effect. It is especially suitable for the treatment of precise areas such as both sides of the spine and the inner side of the scapula, and has greater universality.
[0022] A connecting frame 132 is provided on the top of the moxibustion mechanism 13. A first motor 131 is provided above the connecting frame 132. The top of the first motor 131 is fixedly connected to the dual-axis moving rail 12. The output end of the first motor 131 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frame 132. Purifiers 133 are provided on both sides of the top of the connecting frame 132. The purifiers 133 are connected to the interior of the moxibustion mechanism 13 through a suction fan 134. By driving the suction fan 134, some of the heat flow in the moxibustion mechanism 13 can be extracted. By adjusting the working intensity of the suction fan 134, the temperature of the moxibustion mechanism 13 can be controlled. The purifiers 133 can filter the smoke and dust in the extracted heat flow to a certain extent.
[0023] In the above embodiment, the first motor at the top of the moxibustion mechanism can drive the entire structure to rotate. Combined with the position adjustment of the dual-axis moving rail, it can realize multi-dimensional massage movements, resulting in a more significant effect of relieving muscle knots. The linkage design of the purifier and the suction fan on both sides of the connecting frame not only solves the problem of smoke and dust pollution during moxibustion, but also controls the amount of heat discharged by adjusting the working intensity of the suction fan, thus achieving preliminary adjustment of the moxibustion temperature. This integrated purification and temperature control design not only ensures the cleanliness of the treatment environment, but also avoids scalding patients due to excessively high temperatures or affecting the therapeutic effect due to excessively low temperatures, thus improving the safety and comfort of treatment. At the same time, it simplifies the equipment structure and reduces the investment in additional temperature control devices.
[0024] The moxibustion mechanism 13 is internally equipped with a retainer 136 and a movable tray 135. The movable tray 135 is positioned above the retainer 136. An insertion slot is provided on one side of the moxibustion mechanism 13, through which the movable tray 135 is inserted into the interior of the moxibustion mechanism 13. A moxa cake 5 is placed inside the movable tray 135. A pull handle is provided on the outside of the movable tray 135. A heat transfer port is provided at the bottom of the movable tray 135. An annular groove is provided on the outside of the moxibustion mechanism 13, inside which a rotating ring 137 is provided. Heat dissipation ports 139 with matching positions and sizes are provided on the rotating ring 137 and the annular groove. A toggle mechanism 138 is provided on one side of the moxibustion mechanism 13, outside of the rotating ring 137. When moxibustion is needed for the patient, the lit moxa cake 5 is placed in the movable tray 135 and then pushed into the interior of the moxibustion mechanism 13. This allows for simultaneous moxibustion when the massage component 1 descends to the patient's back for massage.
[0025] In the above embodiments, the movable tray adopts a pull-out design, which, together with the pull handle, allows for quick replacement of moxa cakes, making operation convenient. The rotating ring and annular groove on the outside of the moxibustion mechanism achieve secondary temperature regulation through the misalignment of the heat dissipation vents, complementing the temperature control function of the suction fan and further improving the temperature control accuracy. The locking bracket limits the movable tray, ensuring the stability of the moxa cake position during treatment. The design of the heat transfer port ensures the effective transfer of moxibustion heat, allowing the heat to be precisely applied to the patient's skin when moxibustion and massage are performed simultaneously, enhancing the synergistic therapeutic effect of moxibustion combined with massage, and is suitable for the treatment of various spinal diseases.
[0026] The actuating mechanism 138 is equipped with a second motor 1381. The output shaft of the second motor 1381 is connected to an actuating arm 1382. A pull bar 1383 is provided on the outer side of the rotating ring 137. The end of the actuating arm 1382 away from the second motor 1381 is slidably connected to the pull bar 1383. A sliding groove is provided inside the pull bar 1383. A sliding rod is provided on the end of the actuating arm 1382 away from the second motor 1381. The sliding rod is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. When the second motor 1381 drives the actuating arm 1382 to rotate, it can drive the pull bar 1383 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating ring 137 to rotate. This causes the rotating ring 137 and the annular groove to be misaligned, controlling the opening size of the heat dissipation vent 139 and controlling the moxibustion temperature inside the moxibustion mechanism 13.
[0027] In the above embodiment, the actuating mechanism drives the actuating arm through a second motor, and uses the sliding connection between the slide rod and the pull bar to drive the rotating ring to rotate, thereby realizing stepless adjustment of the size of the heat dissipation vent opening. The mechanical transmission structure is stable and reliable, not easily affected by high temperature environment, and has a longer service life. By controlling the opening degree of the heat dissipation vent, the heat exchange rate inside the moxibustion mechanism can be precisely adjusted. Combined with the heat flow extraction function of the suction fan, a two-way temperature control mechanism is formed to ensure that the moxibustion temperature remains stable during the treatment process, avoiding the impact of temperature fluctuation on the treatment effect. At the same time, it can be adjusted in real time according to the patient's tolerance, improving the personalization and safety of the treatment.
[0028] The massage mechanism 14 includes a connecting plate 141, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the moxibustion mechanism 13. The connecting plate 141 has a strip-shaped heat transfer port for heat transmission. A connecting leg 142 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the connecting plate 141. Each end of the connecting leg 142 is provided with a telescopic sleeve 143. A spring 145 is arranged around the outside of the telescopic sleeve 143. A massage head 144 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the telescopic sleeve 143. The telescopic sleeve 143 includes an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder that slide together. The top of the inner cylinder... The end is fixedly connected to the connecting leg 142, and the spring 145 is wrapped around the outside of the inner cylinder. The two ends of the spring 145 abut against the connecting leg 142 and the outer cylinder respectively. The massage head 144 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer cylinder. When the first motor 131 is working, it can drive the moxibustion mechanism 13 and the massage mechanism 14 to rotate. With the position adjustment of the dual-axis moving rail 12, it can massage the inner side of the patient's scapula and both sides of the spine, effectively loosening muscle knots. It is suitable for most spinal diseases. It is automatically controlled and easy to operate.
[0029] In the above embodiment, the telescopic sleeve of the massage mechanism adopts an inner and outer cylinder sliding sleeve structure, which, together with the surrounding spring, achieves elastic buffering, allowing the massage head to adapt to pressure when in contact with the patient's skin, avoiding discomfort caused by excessive force, while enhancing the comfort and fit of the massage. The strip-shaped heat transfer port on the connecting plate ensures that the heat from moxibustion can smoothly penetrate to the skin surface, achieving the synchronous effect of massage and moxibustion. The heat and mechanical massage work together to more easily loosen muscle knots and promote blood circulation. The first motor drives the moxibustion mechanism and the massage mechanism to rotate, and with the position adjustment of the dual-axis moving rail, it can achieve all-round massage of the sides of the spine, the inner side of the scapula, and other areas. There is no need for the patient to frequently adjust their body position, making it easy to operate and especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly patients and people with spinal diseases.
[0030] A temperature control system, applied in the aforementioned traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and massage device, includes: The temperature acquisition module is located on the inner wall of the moxibustion mechanism 13 and inside the massage head 144 of the massage mechanism 14. It is configured to collect the core temperature of moxibustion inside the moxibustion mechanism 13 and the actual perceived temperature on the patient's skin surface in real time. The central control module is configured to be electrically connected to the temperature acquisition module, the execution adjustment module and the feedback calibration module respectively. It pre-stores the target temperature range corresponding to different massage programs, receives real-time temperature data transmitted by the temperature acquisition module, and generates temperature adjustment commands through comparative analysis. The execution adjustment module is linked with the suction fan 134 and the toggle mechanism 138 of the moxibustion mechanism 13. It is configured to respond to the adjustment command of the central control module and realize the bidirectional adjustment of the moxibustion temperature by adjusting the working intensity of the suction fan 134 and the opening size of the heat dissipation port 139 of the rotating ring 137. The feedback calibration module, linked with camera 21 and temperature acquisition module, is configured to dynamically calibrate the temperature regulation effect based on the patient's back skin condition image and real-time temperature data, ensuring that the temperature is always within the target temperature range. The temperature acquisition module includes a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor. The first temperature sensor is embedded in the inner wall of the moxibustion mechanism 13 and is located near the heat transfer port of the moving tray 135. It is used to collect the core heating temperature inside the moxibustion mechanism 13, and the sampling frequency is 10Hz. The second temperature sensor is integrated into the bottom end face of the massage head 144. It adopts a contact temperature measuring element and is used to collect the actual perceived temperature of the patient's skin surface. The sampling frequency is consistent with that of the first temperature sensor.
[0031] In the above embodiments, the temperature acquisition module adopts a dual-sensor design. The first temperature sensor accurately acquires the core temperature inside the moxibustion mechanism, and the second temperature sensor acquires the patient's skin temperature in real time. The dual-dimensional temperature measurement ensures the comprehensiveness of the data. The temperature acquisition is deeply integrated with the original structure of the device, eliminating the need for additional complex temperature measurement components. The structure is compact and does not affect the massage and moxibustion movements. By synchronously monitoring the core temperature and the perceived temperature, the problem of skin burns or insufficient therapeutic effects caused by adjusting only the internal temperature can be avoided. This makes the temperature control more in line with the patient's actual feeling and improves the safety and comfort of the treatment.
[0032] The central control module includes a temperature analysis unit, an instruction generation unit, a scheme storage unit, and a temperature prediction unit; The solution storage unit pre-stores at least 3 sets of target temperature ranges corresponding to different massage scenarios. The target temperature ranges include the core temperature range of moxibustion and the temperature range of body sensation. The target temperature ranges under different scenarios can be customized and modified through external terminals. The temperature analysis unit receives standardized temperature data and calculates the first difference between the core temperature of moxibustion and the corresponding target core temperature, and the second difference between the perceived temperature and the corresponding target perceived temperature. When the first difference or the second difference exceeds the preset allowable deviation, the temperature adjustment logic is triggered. The instruction generation unit generates adjustment instructions based on the difference magnitude and direction. The adjustment instructions include the speed adjustment parameters of the suction fan 134 and the rotation angle parameters of the rotating ring of the toggle mechanism 138. The speed adjustment parameters correspond to the working intensity of the suction fan 134 from 0 to 5 levels, and the rotation angle parameters correspond to the opening degree of the heat dissipation vent 139 from 0 to 100%. The temperature prediction unit constructs a temperature change prediction model based on historical temperature data from the temperature acquisition module and adjustment records from the execution adjustment module. The temperature change prediction model is then used to calculate the predicted stable temperature after temperature adjustment. When the predicted stable temperature exceeds the target temperature range, the temperature prediction unit corrects the adjustment command parameters in advance to achieve predictive temperature adjustment and reduce temperature fluctuations.
[0033] In the above embodiments, the scheme storage unit pre-stores multiple target temperature ranges, supports custom modification, and adapts to different massage scenarios and patient tolerance. The temperature analysis unit triggers adjustment logic by calculating temperature differences to ensure timely response when the temperature deviates. The instruction generation unit outputs precise rotation speed and angle parameters to achieve fine control of temperature control actions. The temperature prediction unit builds a model based on historical data and corrects the adjustment parameters in advance to achieve predictive temperature control, solving the lag problem of traditional feedback adjustment, reducing the temperature fluctuation range, and keeping the moxibustion temperature stable within the target range to ensure the consistency of treatment effects while reducing the monitoring pressure on medical staff.
[0034] The control module includes a fan drive unit and a rotary drive unit; The fan drive unit is electrically connected to the suction fan 134. Based on the speed adjustment parameter, the motor speed of the suction fan 134 is controlled to adjust the heat flow extraction rate inside the moxibustion mechanism 13.

The time coefficient is predicted by the ELM model, and the error compensation output is obtained by combining the personalized spatial basis function. A total loss function is constructed that includes temperature prediction error and massage rhythm penalty term. The parameters of the LSTM network are dynamically adjusted based on the variable parametric neurodynamic equation. The convergence speed of the variable parametric neurodynamic equation changes dynamically with the massage frequency. The parameters are iteratively updated by Euler discretization method. The temperature change prediction model is obtained by superimposing the ML-ELM reconstruction output with the error compensation output.
