The implantable medical device can realize the transmission of radio frequency energy and bidirectional wireless communication between the external device and the implantable device in the body in a wireless mode. In order to realize the radio frequency energy transmission and the bidirectional wireless communication of the implanted medical device, the prior art generally adopts: (1) single frequency multiple coil systems, e.g., 13.56MHz single frequency dual coil or multiple coil systems; (2) a dual-frequency multi-coil system, such as a dual-frequency tri-coil system.
However, in the existing processing method, neither a single-frequency multi-coil system nor a dual-frequency multi-coil system solves the problems of high-efficiency radio frequency energy transmission and high-speed bidirectional wireless communication. The main difficulties are that due to the volume limitation of the implanted body coil, the radio frequency energy can cause serious interference to the signal coil, the micro-motion of the body coil can cause mismatch, and the wireless communication rate after simple modulation is not high.

In an embodiment of the invention, an implantable medical device is provided, which includes the above multi-coil antenna system.
Compared with the prior art, the implementation case of the invention realizes the high-efficiency transmission of the radio frequency energy after the quality factor matching of the circuit is carried out by preferentially adopting a proper capacitor or matching a proper inductor in the first matching circuit and the second matching circuit. After the third matching circuit and the fourth matching circuit preferentially adopt proper capacitors or match proper inductors to carry out quality factor broadband matching of the circuits, high-speed transmission of communication signals and feedback signals is realized. Meanwhile, the interference of radio frequency energy to communication signals and feedback signals is reduced by adopting a dual noise reduction technology, and the normal transmission of the communication signals and the feedback signals is ensured. The dual noise reduction includes a first noise reduction and a second noise reduction. The noise is reduced for the first time, the magnetic flux cancellation principle of the coil is mainly used, and the interference of radio frequency energy on communication signals and feedback signals during transmission in a transmission channel is reduced through a special coil winding mode. And the second noise reduction is carried out, and the radio frequency energy radiated to the in-vitro communication unit and the in-vivo communication unit is attenuated under the action of the trap circuit, so that the interference of the radio frequency energy to communication signals and feedback signals in the transmission process is reduced. In addition, the multi-coil antenna system adjusts for changes in the transmission of radio frequency energy caused by the presence of a micromotion of the second communication device in the body based on the closed loop formed by the first communication device and the second communication device.

The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by one skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
The following describes the circuit structure and the operation process of the multi-coil antenna system in the implantable medical device in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Please refer to fig. 1, which is a circuit block diagram of a multi-coil antenna system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the multi-coil antenna system 10 includes a first communication device 100 and a second communication device 200.
The first communication apparatus 100 is placed outside the body, and serves as an extracorporeal device that wirelessly transmits radio frequency energy and a communication signal to the second communication apparatus 200 and receives a feedback signal of the second communication apparatus 200.
The second communication device 200 is placed in the body and functions as an implanted device to wirelessly receive the radio frequency energy and communication signals of the first communication device 100 and to transmit feedback signals to the first communication device 100.
For example, in the retina implantation system for the blind, the first communication device 100 can provide video information collected outside the body as a communication signal and provide radio frequency energy required for the operation of the second communication device 200 inside the body, and the two signals are transmitted in a wireless manner. The second communication device 200 in the body can trigger the corresponding retinal cell according to the received radio frequency energy and communication signal, so as to achieve the purpose of acquiring the visual information. Meanwhile, due to the influence of eyeball rotation, the second communication device 200 located in the body slightly moves to cause the change of the radio frequency energy transmitted to the second communication device 200, and the second communication device 200 can transmit a feedback signal to the first communication device 100 outside the body according to the change of the displacement, so that the first communication device 100 can adjust the radio frequency energy and the transmitting power of the communication signal in real time, thereby reducing the power change of the device in the body, and realizing the bidirectional wireless communication between the external equipment and the implanted equipment in the body. When the eyeball rotates, mismatch of magnetic flux cancellation in the body is caused, interference is improved, and the interference of energy is reduced through the circuit part with double noise reduction.

The in vivo tissue may be, for example, retinal cells located in the eye to trigger the in vivo tissue to produce a response. Meanwhile, when the displacement of the second communication device 200 inside the body changes, for example, when the position of the second communication device 200 slightly moves, the rf energy transmitted to the second communication device 200 also changes, and the second communication device 200 can transmit a feedback signal to the first communication device 100 outside the body according to the change, so that the first communication device 100 can adjust the rf energy and the transmission power of the communication signal, thereby reducing the power change of the inside device. Thereby realizing efficient energy transmission and high-speed bidirectional wireless communication.

Meanwhile, the external communication unit 103 is also configured to receive the feedback signal output by the second communication device 200 and transmit the feedback signal to the external circuit control unit 101.
In an embodiment, the second communication device 200 comprises an in-vivo circuit control unit 201, an in-vivo energy unit 202 and an in-vivo communication unit 203. Wherein, the in-vivo energy unit 202 and the in-vivo communication unit 203 are both electrically connected with the in-vivo circuit control unit 201.
The internal energy unit 202 receives the rf energy output by the external energy unit 102 in a wireless manner, matches the rf energy to improve the transmission efficiency of the rf energy, and then rectifies and filters the rf energy and transmits the rf energy to the internal circuit control unit 201.
The in-vivo communication unit 203 receives the communication signal output by the in-vitro communication unit 103 in a wireless manner, matches the communication signal to improve the transmission rate of the communication signal, attenuates the radio frequency energy radiated into the in-vivo communication unit 203 to reduce the interference of the radio frequency energy to the communication signal, modulates and demodulates the radio frequency energy, and transmits the radio frequency energy to the in-vivo circuit control unit 201. Meanwhile, the internal communication unit 203 is also configured to receive the response signal output by the internal circuit control unit 201, and output a feedback signal to the external communication unit 103 of the first communication device 100 according to the action of the response signal, so that high-rate bidirectional wireless communication between the first communication device 100 and the second communication device 200 is realized.
The in-vivo circuit control unit 201 is configured to receive the rf energy transmitted by the in-vivo energy unit 202 and the communication signal transmitted by the in-vivo communication unit 203, and output a corresponding trigger signal to the in-vivo tissue according to the rf energy and the communication signal. Meanwhile, when the second communication device 200 is displaced to change the rf energy, the in-vivo circuit control unit 201 also outputs a response signal to the in-vivo communication unit 203.

When receiving the communication signal, first notch circuit 1032 can attenuate the radio frequency energy radiated to external communication section 103, thereby reducing interference of the radio frequency energy with the communication signal. And the third matching circuit 1033 improves the bandwidth and transmission rate of the communication signal by performing low-quality-factor broadband matching of the circuit using an appropriate capacitance or inductance, and transmits the communication signal to the in-vivo communication unit 203 wirelessly through the third coil L3.
In addition, the feedback signal is also received wirelessly by the third coil L3 and is transmitted to the extracorporeal circuit control unit 101 via the third matching circuit 1033, the first trap circuit 1032, and the communication radio frequency unit 1031.
Specifically, please refer to fig. 3, which is a schematic structural diagram of a second communication device of the multi-coil antenna system shown in fig. 1.

The second coil L2 wirelessly receives the rf energy output from the external energy unit 102 and transmits the rf energy to the second matching circuit 2021. The second matching circuit 2021 performs high quality factor matching of the circuit by using a suitable capacitor or inductor, thereby improving the transmission efficiency of the rf energy, and transmits the rf energy to the in-vivo circuit control unit 201 after the rf energy is rectified and filtered by the rectifying and filtering unit 2022, thereby providing energy for the second communication device 200.

Further, please refer to fig. 4, which is a schematic structural diagram of a transmission channel of the multi-coil antenna system shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 4, the two-way wireless transmission of the rf energy, the communication signal and the feedback signal between the first communication apparatus 100 and the second communication apparatus 200 is realized by the transmission channel formed by the first coil L1, the second coil L2, the third coil L3 and the fourth coil L4, so as to realize the high efficiency rf energy transfer and the high speed two-way wireless communication between the external device and the implanted device inside the body. That is, the first coil L1 and the second coil L2 form an energy channel to transmit radio frequency energy, and the third coil L3 and the fourth coil L4 form a signal channel to transmit communication signals and feedback signals. Meanwhile, an energy relay coil L5 may be optionally added to improve efficiency, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present invention.
In the embodiment of the invention, in the transmission process of signals, the coils are coupled with each other, and the coupling relationship is shown in table 1:
TABLE 1 coil coupling relation table
Figure BDA0002219420550000071
As shown in table 1, the coil coupling coefficients K13, K14, K24 and K32 interfere with the transmission of the communication signal and the feedback signal, while the coil coupling coefficient K12 represents the transmission efficiency of the radio frequency energy, and K34 represents the transmission efficiency of the communication signal and the feedback signal. Therefore, in order to improve the signal transmission efficiency of the multi-coil antenna system, it is necessary to reduce the coil coupling coefficients K13, K14, K24 and K32 while increasing the coil coupling coefficient K12 as much as possible and making the value of K34 moderate.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the distance between the first communication apparatus 100 and the second communication apparatus 200 is determined, the second coil L2 is located at the projection center of the first coil L1 in a manner that the first coil L1 corresponds to the front of the second coil L2, so as to increase the coil coupling coefficient K12, and in this case, the K34 is located within a reasonable coupling coefficient range.
Meanwhile, the coil coupling coefficients K13, K14, K24 and K32 are reduced by means of a magnetic flux cancellation method, so that interference of radio frequency energy to communication signals and feedback signals in a transmission process is reduced.
In order to solve the problems of the implanted medical device, high-efficiency energy transfer from the outside of the body to the inside of the body, high-speed bidirectional wireless communication and reduction of the interference of energy to the wireless communication, particularly to the interference to the wireless communication in the body, the invention needs at least 4 coils, matching circuits and trap circuits, wherein 2 coils are arranged outside the body and 2 coils are arranged in the body; l1 is an external energy transmitting coil, L2 is an internal energy receiving coil, L3 is an external wireless communication coil, L4 is an internal wireless communication coil, and an energy-selective relay coil L5 can be installed outside or inside the body and is not generally used in order to reduce the structural complexity, the technical implementation complexity and the operation complexity. It is understood that in other embodiments, the first coil L1, the second coil L2, the third coil L3 and the fourth coil L4 may be a coil set formed by connecting a plurality of sub-coils in series.
Specifically, please refer to fig. 5, which is a schematic structural diagram of the coil of the first communication device shown in fig. 2. As shown in fig. 5, the coils in the first communication device 100 include a first coil L1 and a third coil L3, wherein the thick line is a first coil L1, the thin line is a third coil L3, both of which are wound with multiple turns, and the third coil L3 is on the periphery of the first coil L1. Meanwhile, the first coil L1 and the third coil L3 conform to the structure of the first communication device 100, constituting a first conformal antenna. Here, the first conformal antenna means that the first coil L1 is located near the center of the first communication device 100, and the third coil L3 is wound along the periphery of the first communication device 100. Further, since the first communication device 100 has a certain curved surface, the first coil L1 and the third coil L3 are also provided as a curved-surface coil structure having a certain arc as a whole according to the structure of the extracorporeal product. The coil is conformal with the structure, make full use of packaging structure's effective part, be favorable to the improvement of signal coil inductance value, the high quality factor of energy coil has the load to match stably to constitute conformal antenna.
The first coil L1 is a ferromagnetic wire made of a plurality of metallic (usually copper, silver, alloy, etc.) thin wires having good electrical conductivity, and the diameter of the thin metallic wires is determined by the operating frequency. In one embodiment, the metal thin wires are covered with an insulating material.
The first coil L1 is usually wound in a regular shape or other shape and requires that the value of the quality factor be as high as possible at the frequency of operation. And a layer of magnetic material with small magnetic loss and proper magnetic conductivity is selectively attached to the first coil L1 to improve the directivity of the radio frequency energy antenna, so that the wireless transmission efficiency of the radio frequency energy is improved.
The third coil L3 is made of a material similar to the first coil L1, and has a configuration designed according to the structural design of the first communication device 100, a size larger than the first coil L1, and an inner portion having a partial area overlapping with the first coil L1.
Further, in the transmission path formed by the first coil L1, the second coil L2, the third coil L3, and the fourth coil L4, during normal operation, the first coil L1 and the second coil L2 generate magnetic fluxes L1c + and L2c + in the positive directions at the overlapping area of the third coil L3. Meanwhile, the first coil L1 generates opposite magnetic fluxes L1 a-and L1 b-at the non-overlapping area of the third coil L3, and the second coil L2 generates opposite magnetic fluxes L2 a-and L2 b-at the non-overlapping area of the third coil L3.
The embodiment of the present invention adjusts the size of the overlapping area by adjusting the distance d between the upper and lower two ferromagnetic wires of the third coil L3 or the position of the moving coil, so that the difference between the forward magnetic flux generated by the first coil L1 and the second coil L2 on the third coil L3 and the reverse magnetic flux generated by the first coil L1 and the second coil L2 on the third coil L3 is within a predetermined range. Namely, the sum of L1c + and L2c + and the sum of L1a-, L1b-, L2 a-and L2 b-are subjected to difference operation, and the obtained result is in a preset range, so that the aim of magnetic flux cancellation is fulfilled, and the coil coupling coefficients K13 and K23 are further reduced.
