Description

Ultrasonic detection stimulation system and method based on adaptive control algorithm
Technical Field
The application relates to the fields of ultrasonic wave and control science, in particular to an ultrasonic detection stimulation system and method based on a self-adaptive control algorithm.
Background
The ultrasonic wave can generate certain biological effects such as mechanical effect, thermal effect, cavitation effect and the like when acting on human tissues.
Ultrasonic vibrations generated as the ultrasound propagates through the medium may cause movement of material within the tissue cells. The unique therapeutic property of the ultrasonic wave, also called internal massage, can change the permeability of cell membranes, stimulate the dispersion process of cell semipermeable membranes, promote metabolism, accelerate blood and lymph circulation, improve the ischemic and anoxic state of cells, improve tissue nutrition, change the protein synthesis rate, improve regeneration function and the like, thereby changing the internal structure of cells, leading to the functional change of cells and the extension of hard connective tissues and softness. The ultrasonic mechanical effect can achieve the effects of softening tissues, enhancing penetration, promoting metabolism and circulation and stimulating the functions of a nervous system and cells.
The human tissue can absorb the energy of the ultrasonic wave very effectively, that is, when the ultrasonic wave propagates in the human tissue, the energy is absorbed by the tissue continuously to become heat, and as a result, the temperature of the tissue itself is increased. This process of internally generating heat is a process of energy conversion in which mechanical energy is converted into thermal energy in a medium. The warm effect of ultrasonic wave can simply accelerate metabolism, and gradually improve tissue nutrition. Unlike common physical heating, the thermal effect of ultrasound is more pronounced with bone, connective tissue, and least with fat and blood.
Medical professionals at home and abroad use the ultrasonic technology to treat soft tissue injury of limbs, chronic pain recovery of limbs, rehabilitation of limb movement achieve very good curative effect. However, most of the ultrasonic physiotherapy apparatuses on the market at present autonomously stimulate a target area, and do not perform real-time adjustment according to the severity of the target area, that is, the physiotherapy apparatus can perform ultrasonic stimulation on a certain tissue only according to own design, and the apparatus cannot meet the stimulation requirements of different tissues and can not adjust the stimulation requirements according to the own needs of different patients.
Conventional control theory can only analyze and control deterministic systems, but cannot work on nonlinear, time-varying systems, which is a limitation of conventional control theory. The self-adaptive control research object in modern control theory is a system with uncertainty, and the self-adaptive control can correct the characteristics of the self-adaptive control to adapt to the change of the dynamic characteristics of the object and disturbance. The inner loop of the self-correcting control system comprises a controlled object and a common linear feedback regulator, the outer loop consists of a recursive parameter estimator and a design mechanism, the task is to identify the process parameters, and then the controller parameters are synthesized according to a selected design method to modify the controller of the inner loop. The system is characterized in that the process or the controlled object is required to be identified (estimator) on line, then the control parameters of the regulator are synthesized on line by using the estimated value of the object parameters and the preset performance index, and the controlled object is controlled according to the control action generated by the control parameters. Through multiple times of identification and comprehensive adjustment of parameters, the performance index of the system can be optimized. The self-correction control can be regarded as two parts of parameter estimation + controller.
