[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and 4 An acupoint patch includes a transparent fixing outer film 1, a breathable layer 2 fixedly connected to the top of the transparent fixing outer film 1, an adhesive layer 3 fixedly connected to the top of the breathable layer 2, an anti-seepage layer 4 fixedly connected to the top of the adhesive layer 3, an application layer 5 fixedly connected to the top of the anti-seepage layer 4, liquid drug layers 6 fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the application layer 5, and multiple connecting tubes 7 fixedly connected between the application layer 5 and the liquid drug layer 6. A thin film 8 is provided on the side of the connecting tube 7 near the liquid drug layer 6, a release paper 9 is provided on the front side of the application layer 5, and an anti-detachment component is provided on the outer side of the transparent fixing outer film 1. The thickness of the thin film 8 is 0.03-0.1mm. The interior of the application layer 5 and the liquid drug layer 6 are both hollow structures. The side of the connecting tube 7 near the application layer 5 has a conical structure. The release paper 9 is bonded to the edge of the adhesive layer 3.

[0029] Specifically, the transparent outer membrane 1 is made of PC polyurethane material, which has high transparency and good flexibility, ensuring both visibility of the internal structure of the dressing and guaranteeing comfort and durability. The breathable layer 2 is designed to balance gas exchange between the inside and outside of the dressing, reducing the feeling of heat and moisture on the skin and preventing skin discomfort or allergic reactions caused by prolonged application. The adhesive layer 3 is responsible for firmly adhering the dressing to the skin, ensuring the stability of the dressing during treatment. The impermeable layer 4 prevents the ointment from seeping to the outside, maintaining the concentration and duration of the drug's efficacy. The dressing layer 5 has a hollow internal structure, providing space for the storage and release of the ointment, ensuring uniform distribution of drug components and improving treatment efficiency. The liquid drug layer 6 stores the liquid drug. The liquid medication layer 6 is squeezed to cause the liquid medication to impact the film 8, causing it to rupture. The liquid medication then enters the dressing layer 5 through the connecting tube 7 for mixing, ensuring maximum efficacy and avoiding reduced efficacy due to premature mixing. One end of the connecting tube 7 has a tapered structure to prevent the mixed medication from flowing back into the liquid medication layer 6 after it enters the dressing layer 5 and mixes with the solid medication inside. The film 8 is designed with a thickness of 0.03-0.1mm, making it easy to break under pressure, ensuring timely mixing of the liquid and solid medications during use, while preventing the ointment from deteriorating due to premature mixing. The release paper 9 protects the adhesive layer 3 before use to prevent contamination by adhering substances and can be easily peeled off during use, ensuring a clean and safe application.

[0030] Example 2:

[0031] Please see Figure 2-3 This embodiment provides a technical solution based on embodiment one: the anti-detachment component includes two hook and loop fasteners 10 and two fixing blocks 11. The rear side of the hook and loop fasteners 10 is fixedly connected to the front side of the transparent fixing outer film 1. The rear side of the fixing blocks 11 is located on the front side of the transparent fixing outer film 1. The side of the fixing blocks 11 closest to the transparent fixing outer film 1 is fixedly connected to a hook and loop fastener 12. Two elastic bandages 13 are fixedly connected between the two fixing blocks 11. The hook and loop fasteners 12 are attached to the hook and loop fasteners 10. The elastic bandages 13 are made of a blend of cotton and linen fabric.

[0032] Specifically, the hook and loop fastener 10 is fixed to the front of the transparent outer film 1. Its design ensures a firm connection when it is attached to the hook and loop fastener 12, enhancing the stability of the application. The fixing block 11 is located on the front of the transparent outer film 1, serving as the connection point between the hook and loop fastener 12 and the elastic bandage 13, ensuring the overall structural stability. The hook and loop fastener 12 is made of soft fiber material, which can easily hook together with the hook and loop fastener 0 when attached to form a firm connection. The elastic bandage 13 is made of a blend of cotton and linen fabric, which has good elasticity to ensure that it fits different sizes of application sites, while maintaining breathability and comfort. At the same time, the elastic bandage 13 has two purposes: reducing the contact area with the skin and improving breathability.

[0033] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0034] In use, firstly, by squeezing the liquid medicine layer 6 on the outside of the dressing layer 5, the film 8 ruptures under pressure, allowing the liquid medicine to flow into the interior of the dressing layer 5 through the connecting tube 7. There, it mixes thoroughly with the solid medicine inside the dressing layer 5, becoming a paste or syrup. This allows for temporary mixing of the two medications during use, preventing drug evaporation and ensuring efficacy. Then, gently peel off the release paper 9 to expose the dressing layer 5. Align the dressing with the designated acupoint and apply it to the acupoint, pressing gently to ensure close contact between the ointment and the skin. Next, wrap the elastic bandage 13 around the outside of the acupoint, and firmly adhere the hook and loop fastener 12 on the elastic bandage 13 to the hook and loop fastener 10 on the transparent outer film 1, forming a stable fixation system. The combination of the elastic bandage 13 and the hook and loop fastener significantly improves the dressing's resistance to detachment, maintaining a stable fit even during exercise or sweating, preventing it from falling off and ensuring continuous therapeutic effects.
