Detailed Description
The core of the application is to provide an ultrasonic knife system, and a fault detection method, a fault detection device and a fault detection host thereof, so that the detection efficiency and the result accuracy of the fault problem of the ultrasonic knife system are effectively improved, and the safe use of the ultrasonic knife system is ensured.
In order to more clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without undue burden from the present disclosure, are within the scope of the present disclosure.
Ultrasonic blade systems are an important application of ultrasound in the medical field. The main machine of the system adopts proper working frequency to excite the transducer, so that the transducer works near the resonant frequency, the energy conversion efficiency of the transducer is improved, the maximum conversion from electric energy to mechanical energy is realized, and the ultrasonic knife connected with the transducer is driven to perform high-frequency motion to implement operation.
Compared with a radio frequency electrotome, the ultrasonic electrotome has small thermal damage to surrounding tissues and generates no smoke, no current passes through a human body in the working process, and the tissue eschar is small, so that the damage to a patient is small. Therefore, ultrasonic blades are increasingly used in surgical operations, and are commonly used for endoscopic minimally invasive and open operations.
However, in the use process of the ultrasonic knife system, due to the reasons of vibration fatigue and the like caused by external force, temperature and long use time, the transducer or the ultrasonic knife in the ultrasonic knife system is easy to fail or even damage, so that the ultrasonic knife system cannot work normally. Therefore, it is important and necessary to realize accurate and rapid detection of failure problems so as to prompt the user to perform component replacement and maintenance in time. In view of the above, the present application provides a fault detection scheme for an ultrasonic blade system, which can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems.
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application discloses a fault detection method of an ultrasonic blade system, which mainly includes:
s101: determining whether the resonant frequency of the transducer in a state of being connected with the ultrasonic knife is positioned in a first normal value interval; if yes, enter S102; if not, the process advances to S103.
Firstly, it should be noted that, in the actual use process of the ultrasonic knife system, the transducer needs to drive the ultrasonic knife to vibrate together. The present application thus diagnoses faults in particular by range detection of the actual resonant frequency of the transducer after connection to the ultrasonic blade. It is easy to understand that the resonant frequency of the ultrasonic knife system with normal function and no fault after the transducer is connected with the ultrasonic knife should be in the normal value range, i.e. the first normal value interval, otherwise, the fault is indicated.
S102: and judging that the ultrasonic knife system is normal.
S103: determining whether the resonant frequency is within a second normal value interval; if yes, go to S104; if not, the process proceeds to S105.
The second normal value interval is a resonance frequency interval in which the transducer normally operates in a state of being not connected with the ultrasonic knife; the right end point of the second normal value interval is smaller than the left end point of the first normal value interval.
It is emphasized that the resonant frequency of the transducer itself is different from the resonant frequency after connection to the ultrasonic blade. According to related theory and experimental results, compared with the resonance frequency of the transducer when the ultrasonic knife is not connected, the resonance frequency of the transducer after the ultrasonic knife is connected with the transducer is relatively larger, and the frequency difference can even reach several kHz. Therefore, the right end point of the second normal value interval in the present application is smaller than the left end point of the first normal value interval. That is, the maximum value of the second normal value interval is smaller than the minimum value of the first normal value interval.
Specifically, after the resonant frequency of the transducer in the state of being connected with the ultrasonic blade is determined to be outside the first normal value interval, the ultrasonic blade system can be determined to be faulty. In order to further locate the specific component with the fault, the application further utilizes the second normal value interval to judge.
Since the vibration generated by the transducer is more difficult to transmit to the ultrasonic blade when the ultrasonic blade is damaged and the transducer is normal, when only the ultrasonic blade is damaged, the ultrasonic blade can be considered to be disconnected from the transducer, and at this time, the actual resonant frequency of the transducer and the ultrasonic blade should be close to the resonant frequency of the transducer itself, that is, should take a value within the second normal value interval. Therefore, after the fact that the actual resonance frequency values of the transducer and the ultrasonic knife are in the second normal value interval after the transducer is connected with the ultrasonic knife is judged, the transducer can be judged to be normal and the ultrasonic knife is in fault; if the resonant frequency is outside the first normal value interval and outside the second normal value interval, the transducer fault can be determined.
S104: and judging that the transducer is normal but the ultrasonic knife is out of order.
S105: and judging the fault of the transducer.
It should be noted that, the determination result of the transducer failure in step S105 may be divided into two cases: the transducer and the ultrasonic blade both fail, the transducer fails and the ultrasonic blade is normal. Thus, after determining the failure of the transducer, the technician may further detect whether the ultrasonic blade is malfunctioning in combination with other detection means. For example, when the ultrasonic blade is damaged, the blade bar is broken, and the blade bar is cracked, and the detection can be further performed by a person skilled in the art based on the fact.
Therefore, according to the fault detection method of the ultrasonic knife system, the resonance frequency actually measured by the transducer in the state of being connected with the ultrasonic knife is compared with the first normal value interval of the resonance frequency when the transducer is in normal operation after being connected with the ultrasonic knife and the second normal value interval of the resonance frequency of the transducer, so that the system fault can be effectively identified, the specific part with the fault can be directly positioned under the condition that the transducer and the ultrasonic knife are not required to be disassembled, the replacement or maintenance of the part is facilitated, and the fault treatment efficiency is improved.
It should be further noted that the fault detection for the ultrasonic blade system may be specifically applied in various scenarios, for example, fault detection is performed during a system start-up self-test procedure, or fault detection is performed immediately after the ultrasonic blade starts to start, or fault detection is continuously performed during the use process of the ultrasonic blade, etc.
In the using process of the ultrasonic knife, the system generally tracks the current resonant frequency in real time by using a built-in resonant frequency tracking algorithm, so that the current resonant frequency obtained by the resonant frequency tracking algorithm can be directly used for judging whether the current resonant frequency is in a first normal value interval or a second normal value interval or not when fault diagnosis is carried out at the moment, further a fault diagnosis result is obtained, and a fault alarm is sent out.
When the system is started up for self-checking and the ultrasonic knife is started up just to perform fault detection, a frequency sweep test mode can be specifically adopted to judge whether the resonant frequency is in the first normal value interval or the second normal value interval.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for determining whether a resonant frequency is in a first normal value interval based on a sweep test according to an embodiment of the present application.
As a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the process of determining whether the resonant frequency of the transducer in the state of being connected to the ultrasonic blade is within the first normal value interval includes:
s201: and carrying out sweep frequency test on the transducer connected with the ultrasonic knife in a frequency range corresponding to the first normal value interval, and calculating and comparing the real part of the circuit admittance of the transducer at each frequency point to determine the maximum value of the first interval of the real part of the circuit admittance of the transducer.
S202: judging whether a frequency point of a first interval maximum value of the real part of the admittance of the circuit is an endpoint of a first normal value interval; if not, entering S203; if yes, the process proceeds to S204.
S203: and determining that the resonant frequency of the transducer in the state of being connected with the ultrasonic knife is positioned in a first normal value interval.
S204: and determining that the resonant frequency of the transducer in the state of being connected with the ultrasonic knife is located outside the first normal value interval.
It should be noted that, when the present application determines whether the first resonant frequency of the ultrasonic blade system is within the first normal value interval based on the sweep test, specifically, the resonant frequency is tracked based on the real part of the circuit admittance of the transducer.
Specifically, referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is an equivalent circuit diagram of a transducer disclosed in an embodiment of the present application, including two parallel branches. One branch is a static branch and comprises a static capacitor C0, the static capacitor C0 is mostly piezoelectric ceramics, the capacitance value is determined by the electrode area and thickness of the piezoelectric ceramics vibrator, and is generally about 2nF-4 nF; the other branch is a dynamic branch and comprises three devices which are connected in series, namely a dynamic inductance Ls, a dynamic capacitance Cs and a dynamic resistance Rs. When the dynamic inductance Ls and the dynamic capacitance Cs resonate, the impedance of the equivalent circuit of the ultrasonic transducer is minimum, which is Rs.
In the course of practice, the inventors found that: the real admittance part of the equivalent circuit of the transducer (hereinafter referred to as the "real circuit admittance part") and the resonant frequency maintain a fixed correspondence: the real part of the circuit admittance takes a maximum value at the corresponding resonant frequency. Referring specifically to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a graph of resonance curves of a transducer according to an embodiment of the present application.
The various resonance curves in fig. 4 are obtained by simulation, particularly in the case of the circuit parameters of the known transducer (for example, it may be that the static capacitance C0 is 4nF, the dynamic inductance Ls is 399mH, and the dynamic capacitance Cs is 21 pF), and the resonance frequency (the resonance frequency is f 2), using the load parameters with heavy load (for example, the dynamic resistance Rs is 400 Ω).
Wherein, |Z PH The phase and total impedance amplitude of the equivalent circuit of the transducer are respectively Z MPH I and Z M And I is the branch phase and branch impedance amplitude of a dynamic branch in the equivalent circuit of the transducer, and G is the admittance real part of the equivalent circuit of the transducer. It can be seen that in the heavy load state as shown in fig. 4, the real admittance of the equivalent circuit takes a maximum value at f2, with a correspondence.
Therefore, the method and the device can judge whether the resonant frequency of the transducer connected with the ultrasonic knife is in the first normal value interval or not by judging whether the frequency point of the maximum value of the real part of the admittance of the circuit is in the first normal value interval or not.
Specifically, in the frequency range corresponding to the first normal value interval, the frequency sweep test is performed on the transducer connected with the ultrasonic knife, and the maximum value in the real part of the circuit admittance corresponding to each frequency point is determined and is called the maximum value of the first interval.
If the frequency point corresponding to the maximum value of the first interval is in the first normal value interval and is not an interval end point, the maximum value of the first interval is the maximum value in the first normal value interval and is the maximum value in the whole positive number range, so that the frequency point corresponding to the maximum value of the first interval is the actual resonance frequency of the transducer and the ultrasonic knife after being connected.
If the frequency point corresponding to the maximum value of the first interval is at the end point (left end point or right end point) of the first normal value interval, it is indicated that the first normal value interval is a monotonic interval of the real part of the circuit admittance, and the maximum value of the first interval is only the maximum value in the first normal value interval, but not the maximum value in the whole positive number set, and the actual maximum value falls outside the first normal value interval, that is, the actual resonant frequency of the transducer (in the state of being connected with the ultrasonic blade) is outside the first normal value interval.
For the calculation of the real part of the circuit admittance, the method can acquire waveform data of the output current and the output voltage of the transducer based on the detection circuit, determine the phase difference between the output current and the output voltage, the output current amplitude and the output voltage amplitude, and further calculate the corresponding real part of the circuit admittance. The specific calculation method can be found in the related prior art, and will not be described in detail here.
Furthermore, the process of the sweep test may specifically include:
determining the step length of the sweep frequency;
determining each frequency point in the sweep frequency range according to the sweep frequency step length;
the transducers are excited at respective frequency points to calculate the real part of the circuit admittance of the transducer at the corresponding frequency point.
It is easy to understand that a person skilled in the art can select a sweep frequency step size with a proper size to reasonably control the frequency interval of each frequency point and the overall number of the frequency points, and balance the aspects of data accuracy and data calculation amount.
According to the method, the maximum value of the real part of the admittance of the circuit is taken as a basis, the resonant frequency of the transducer and the ultrasonic knife is detected, whether the actual resonant frequency is in the first normal value interval or not is judged, the tracking accuracy of the resonant frequency is effectively improved, the fault detection efficiency and the result accuracy are further improved, and the safe use of the ultrasonic knife system is ensured.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flowchart of a method for determining whether a resonant frequency is in a second normal value interval based on a sweep test according to an embodiment of the present application, which mainly includes:
s301: and carrying out sweep frequency test on the transducer connected with the ultrasonic knife in a frequency range corresponding to the second normal value interval, and calculating and comparing the real part of the circuit admittance of the transducer at each frequency point to determine the maximum value of the second interval of the real part of the circuit admittance of the transducer.
S302: judging whether the frequency point of the maximum value of the second interval of the real part of the admittance of the circuit is the endpoint of the second normal value interval; if not, enter S303; if yes, the process proceeds to S304.
S303: and determining that the resonant frequency is positioned in the second normal value interval.
S304: and determining that the resonant frequency is outside the second normal value interval.
Similar to fig. 2, the present embodiment determines whether the second interval maximum value is the maximum value in the whole positive number domain (i.e. the real part of the circuit admittance obtained at the actual resonance frequency point) by determining whether the frequency point corresponding to the second interval maximum value of the real part of the circuit admittance is the interval end point, thereby determining whether the actual resonance frequency point is in the second normal value interval.
As a specific embodiment, the fault detection method of the ultrasonic blade system provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes, based on the above content:
obtaining resonant frequencies of a plurality of transducers of the same type in a state of being connected with an ultrasonic knife so as to form first sample test data;

and/or the number of the groups of groups,
obtaining resonant frequencies of a plurality of transducers of the same type in a state of being not connected with an ultrasonic knife so as to form second sample test data;
and determining a second normal value interval by taking the mean value of the second sample test data as the interval center and taking the standard deviation of the second sample test data as the fluctuation range.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the first normal value interval is set according to the statistical parameters of the test data of the relevant samples of the resonant frequencies of the two transducers with the same type and the ultrasonic blade after the two transducers are connected, so as to improve the rationality of interval range setting, and further improve the accuracy of the detection result. For example, if the average value is f e Standard deviation is f σ The first normal value interval may be set to: [ f e -f σ ,f e +f σ ]。
Similarly, the same method can be adopted to set the second normal value interval according to the statistical parameters of the sample test data of the resonant frequency of the transducer of the same type, and the description is omitted here.

According to the fault warning method and device, the fault warning corresponding to the fault component is sent, so that on one hand, fault prompt can be carried out, on the other hand, a user or a maintainer can also conveniently and directly locate a fault part, and the fault processing efficiency is improved.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a fault detection device 400 of an ultrasonic blade system according to an embodiment of the present application, including:
a first judging module 401, configured to determine whether a resonant frequency of the transducer in a state connected to the ultrasonic blade is located in a first normal value interval;
