A first embodiment of the present invention provides a magnetically levitated nutation
artificial heart pump, referring to Figure 1 and 2. Magnetically levitated nutation artificial
heart pump comprises an upper cover 2, a lower cover 8, an annular housing 7
sandwiched between the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 8 to form an accommodation
chamber, and a nutation mechanism. The upper cover 2 is provided with a first through
port 21 and a second through port 22 connecting with the accommodation chamber; the
nutation mechanism divides the accommodation chamber into a first chamber connecting
with the first through port 21 and a second chamber connecting with the second through
port 22. The nutation mechanism includes a nutating disk 6 and a driving magnet; the
nutating disk 6 swings relative to the accommodation chamber to change the size of the
first chamber and the second chamber; the driving magnet is used for driving the nutating
plate 6 to make nutating motion. Magnetically levitated nutation artificial heart pump also includes a levitation detection mechanism, and the levitation detection mechanism includes the magnet ball pair 4, the levitation magnet assembly and the eddy current sensor 1. Magnet ball pair 4 includes a first hemispherical magnet arranged on the upper side of the nutating disk 6 and a second hemispherical magnet arranged on the lower side of the nutating disk 6.The levitation magnet assembly includes a first levitation magnet disposed on the upper cover 2 and a second levitation magnet disposed on the lower cover 8; the first levitation magnet and the first hemispherical magnet have the same magnetic properties, and the second levitation magnet and the second hemispherical magnet have the same magnetic properties so that the magnet ball pair 4 is suspended in the accommodation chamber, that is, the nutating disk 6 is suspended in the accommodation chamber. When the eddy current sensor 1 penetrates the upper cover 2, it has a preset gap from the first hemispherical magnet when the magnet ball pair is suspended; the eddy current sensor 1 obtains the its actual gap with the magnet ball pair by obtaining the impedance value generated between it and the first hemispherical magnet after power-on, so as to obtain the levitation state of the magnet ball pair.
Specifically, in the first embodiment, the eddy current sensor 1 consists of a probe and a
probe shell, wherein the probe consists of a sensor coil, a head, a shell, a high-frequency
cable and a high-frequency connector, and the probe shell is used for connecting and
fixing the probe head and serving as a clamping structure for the probe. The probe shell is
engraved with external threads for mounting in the threaded holes of the upper cover 2.
The working principle of the eddy current sensor is as follows: a high-frequency
electromagnetic field is generated around the sensor coil after a high-frequency current is
introduced into the sensor coil, and when the high-frequency electromagnetic field passes through the first hemispherical magnet close to it, an eddy current is induced in the first hemispherical magnet, and the induced eddy current generates an eddy current magnetic field around it, the direction of which is opposite to that of the original high-frequency electromagnetic field; the impedance value of sensor coil will be changed after superposition of high-frequency electromagnetic field and eddy current magnetic field, which is directly related to the distance between sensor coil and the first hemispherical magnet. By detecting the impedance value of sensor coil, the distance between sensor coil and the first hemispherical magnet can be measured, so as to judge whether the nutating disk is in levitation state against gravity, that is, to obtain the levitation state of the magnet ball pair.
With reference to Figure 1,2, and 3, the driving magnet comprises an annular
electromagnet 5 arranged on the outer periphery of the annular housing 7, which has the
first magnet 51 and the second magnet 52. The first magnet 51 and the second magnet 52
are arranged sequentially and alternately along the circumferential direction. The first
magnet 51 is arranged above the second magnet 52 for attracting nutating disk to swing
upward when energized and to swing downward when the second magnet is energized. In
this case, the nutating disk 6 does not rotate when the nutating disk 6 swings up and
down.
In the first embodiment, one of the first magnet 51 and the second magnet 52 in the
circumferential direction of the annular electromagnet 5 is arranged as the other of the
first magnet 51 and the second magnet 52 at a position opposite to each other in the
circumferential direction of the annular electromagnet 5. For example, if the first magnet
51 is located at the first position in the circumferential direction of the annular electromagnet 5, the second magnet 52 is arranged at the first position, so that when the first magnet 51 at the first position attracts the nutation 6 to move upwards, the second magnet 52 at the second position attracts the nutating disk 6 to move downwards, thus maintaining the inclined state of the nutating disk 6.
The first magnet 51 and the second magnet 52 form an independent annular
electromagnet 5 distributed in a crevasse shape, which is annularly arranged at the outer
position of the nutating disk 6; the first magnet 51 is located on the upper side of the
nutating disk 6, and the second magnet 52 is located on the lower side of the upper
surface of the nutating disk 6, so that one of the first magnet 51 and the second magnet 52
is electrified with a forward current. Thus, one end of the nutating disk 6 is attracted
upward (or downward). A reverse current is applied to the other side of the first magnet
51 and the second magnet 52 at the opposite position, and the opposite position on the
nutating disk 6 is attracted downward (or upward), that is, the nutating disk 6 is inclined
at the nutating angle, and the first magnet 51 and the second magnet 52 are energized in a
certain order (clockwise or counter clockwise), and one of the first magnet 51 and the
second magnet 52 is always kept positive current during the energization process. The
other side of the first magnet 51 and the second magnet 52, which are arranged opposite
to each other, is energized reverse current, so that the nutating disk 6 keeps tilting and
swings up and down, performing nutating motion and forming a pump mechanism. The
nutating disk 6 is switched on for one cycle, that is, the nutating disk 6 achieves one cycle
of nutation, and the higher the frequency of switching on, the faster the nutating speed of
the nutating disk 6.
The upper and lower end faces of nutating disk 6 are set to have different polarities. For
example, the upper surface of nutating disk 6 is N-pole and the lower surface is S-pole.
When first magnet 51 is energized, S-pole will be generated to attract one end of nutating
disk 6, and the second secondary body will generate N-pole to attract the other end of
nutating disk 6.
In the first embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and 4, the upper cover 2 has a lower conical
surface 23, and the lower cover 8 has an upper conical surface 81. The upper and lower
walls of the accommodation chamber are composed of partial spherical surfaces of the
first hemispherical magnet and the second hemispherical magnet, a lower conical surface
23 and an upper conical surface 81. The magnetically levitated nutation artificial heart
pump further comprises a blocking mechanism, which is arranged in the accommodation
chamber and located between the first through port 21 and the second through port 22
along the circumferential direction. The upper surface and the lower surface of the
nutating disk 6 are in line contact with the lower conical surface 23 and the upper conical
surface 81, respectively, and the accommodating chamber is divided into a first chamber
and a second chamber in cooperation with the blocking mechanism.
The blocking mechanism includes a chute plate and a partition plate. The edge of the
nutating disk 6 is provided with a notch for the chute plate to pass through. Pins located
in the notch are arranged between the first and second hemispheric magnets on both sides
of the nutating disk 6. One end of the chute plate facing the nutating disc 6 is provided
with a chute for pins to slide in a vertical plane, so that the nutating disk 6 will not move
along the circumferential direction when swinging up and down. The partition plate and
the upper and lower ends of the chute plate are fixed in the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 8 respectively, and one end of the partition plate is closely connected with the chute plate. In this embodiment, the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 8 have grooves for accommodating the chute plate and the partition plate.
In the first embodiment, the inner peripheral wall of the annular housing 7 has an arc
shaped portion to abut against the outer peripheral wall of the nutating disc 6 when the
nutating disc 6 swings up and down.
In the first embodiment, referring to Figure 3, the first hemispherical magnet includes a
first hemispherical shell 41 and a first annular magnetic member 43 arranged in the
hemispherical shell, and the second hemispherical magnet includes a second
hemispherical shell 42 and a second annular magnetic member 44 arranged in the second
hemispherical shell 42. The upper cover 2 is provided with a third annular magnetic
member 31, and the lower cover 8 is provided with a fourth annular magnetic member 32.
The third annular magnetic member 31 and the first annular magnetic member 43 are
arranged at the same pole, and the fourth annular magnetic member 32 and the second
annular magnetic member 44 are arranged at the same pole, so that a pair of repulsive
forces are generated between the third annular magnetic member 31 and the first annular
magnetic member 43, and a pair of repulsive forces are generated between the fourth
annular magnetic member 32 and the second annular magnetic member 44.
Among them, the third annular magnetic member 31 is configured as an annular
mechanism with a through hole in the middle to supply the high-frequency
electromagnetic field generated by the eddy current sensor 1 to pass through the first
hemispherical magnet close to it, that is, to enable the eddy current sensor 1 to obtain an
accurate impedance value.
With reference to Figure1 to Figure 4, the annular electromagnet 5 is energized clockwise
or counter clockwise in sequence. when the first magnet 51 is energized, it generates
magnetic force to attract one end of the nutating disk 6, while the opposite second magnet
52 attracts the nutating disk 6 in the opposite direction, so that the nutating disk 6 can
achieve a periodic nutating movement after the first magnet 51 and the second magnet 52
are energized in turn along the circumferential direction of the annular electromagnet 5.
The accommodation chamber of the heart pump is surrounded by a part of spherical
surface and upper and lower inner conical surfaces. The nutating disk 6 is in an inclined
state in the accommodation chamber under the action of the annular electromagnet 5 and
is in line contact with the upper and lower conical surfaces 23 of the accommodation
chamber. The upper and lower surfaces of the nutating disk 6 are in line contact with the
inner conical surfaces of the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 8 respectively, and the
contact line divides the cavity into two areas. When the electrifying sequence of the
electromagnet 3 is counter clockwise rotation (this embodiment takes counter clockwise
as an example, but other embodiments can be clockwise), the nutating disk 6 makes
counter clockwise circular swing (without rotation), and the contact wire also makes
counter clockwise rotation, and the rotating speed of the contact wire is equal to the
electrifying circulating speed of the annular electromagnet 5. At this time, the area of the
first chamber (connected with the first through port 21, which is the liquid inlet at this
time) is constantly enlarged, forming negative pressure. The fluid flows in from the first
through port 21, and the second chamber keeps getting smaller, which pushes the fluid
out from the second through port 22. When the contact line turns to the baffle, the first
chamber reaches its maximum and the second chamber reaches its minimum. The contact line bypasses the baffle in a short time, turning the original first through port 21 into a liquid outlet, the second through port 22 into a liquid inlet, and then the second chamber becomes large from small while the first chamber becomes small from large, and so on.
In this embodiment, the heart pump is driven by non-contact electromagnetic drive, and a
motor is not needed to drive the nutating disk 6, so that the driving part is not in contact
with the working part. The nutating disk 6 of the working part adopts the magnet ball pair
4 to realize complete passive levitation. It has the advantages of no friction, no
lubrication, low noise, less heat and high energy efficiency ratio, which completely solves
the problems of "loosing, overflowing, dripping and leaking", reduces the probability of
hemolysis and thrombus produced by ventricular auxiliary pump and the pollution to
blood, and greatly improves the performance and service life of the pump. According to
the invention, electromagnetic force is adopted as the power of the heart pump, so that the
pump is small in volume and compact in structure, and is convenient for surgical
transplantation.
The eddy current sensor 1 of the levitation detection mechanism of this embodiment also
adopts non-contact measurement, and has the characteristics of strong anti-interference
ability, high precision, high sensitivity, economy, nondestructive measurement and
simple operation, and can accurately detect the levitation state of the nutating disk 6
without setting an external reference point.
Second embodiment:
In a second embodiment, the present invention also provides a magnetically levitated
nutation artificial heart pump system, which comprises the magnetically levitated
nutation artificial heart pump of any of the above embodiments and control devices electrically connected to the eddy current sensor 1 and the driving magnet respectively, wherein the control devices comprise a processor, a memory and a computer program stored in the memory and operable on the processor. When the processor executes the computer program, the following steps are realized: the first magnet 51 and the second magnet 52 are sequentially energized at a preset frequency in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction, so that the nutating disk 6 swings up and down at a preset frequency in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction.
The step of sequentially energizing the first magnet 51 and the second magnet 52 in a
clockwise or counter clockwise direction at a preset frequency includes simultaneously
energizing one of the first magnet 51 and the second magnet 52 at opposite positions in
the circumferential direction of the annular electromagnet 5, so that the nutating disk 6
maintains inclined relative to the accommodation chamber.
Other features not mentioned in the second embodiment can be the same as those in the
first embodiment, and the adopted variant embodiments and their beneficial effects can
be the same as those in thefirst embodiment, so they will not be described in detail.
The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not used to
limit the present invention. For those skilled in the field, the present invention can be
modified and varied. Any modification, equivalent substitution, improvement, etc. made
within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection
scope of the present invention.
