In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and 6, the rf energy generating circuit of the rf energy generating apparatus provided by the present application includes a frequency driving circuit 11, an rf power amplifier 12, a calibration circuit 14, an impedance detecting circuit 15, and a processing module 16. The frequency driving circuit 11 is configured to output a radio frequency driving signal. The radio frequency power amplifier 12 is connected to the output of the frequency drive circuit 11. The calibration circuit 14 has a plurality of different topological circuit structure states, the standard impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 in each topological circuit structure state is different, and the calibration circuit 14 can be connected to the output end of the radio frequency power amplifier 12 in a switching way. The impedance detection circuit 15 is connected to the output terminal of the rf power amplifier 12, and is used for measuring the impedance value of the output load of the rf power amplifier 12. The processing module 16 is respectively connected to the impedance detection circuit 15 and the calibration circuit 14, and is configured to determine a standard impedance value of the current rf load 13 (as shown in fig. 6) according to the impedance value measured by the impedance detection circuit 15 and a calibration table when the rf power amplifier 12 is connected to the rf output port 121 in a conductive manner, where the calibration table includes the standard impedance values of the calibration circuit 14 in the state of each topology circuit structure and the corresponding measured impedance values.
When the calibration circuit 14 is switched to be connected to the output end of the rf power amplifier 12, the output load of the power amplifier 12 is the calibration circuit 14, and the calibration circuit 14 is connected to different resistances of the calibration circuit 14 in different topological circuit structural states, so that the standard impedance values of the calibration circuit 14 in the topological circuit structural states are different. When the rf power amplifier 12 is connected to the rf output port 121 in a conductive manner, the rf power amplifier 12 is connected to the current rf load 13, the output load of the power amplifier 12 is the current rf load 13, the rf load 13 is an object of the rf energy generating circuit to output rf energy, and for example, the rf load 13 may be a human body. The calibration circuit 14 may be connected to the output terminal of the rf power amplifier 12 through a switch, and likewise, the rf output port may be connected to the output terminal of the rf power amplifier 12 through a switch, when the switch is switched to connect to the calibration circuit terminal, the calibration circuit 14 is connected to the output terminal of the rf power amplifier 12, when the switch is switched to connect to the rf output port 121, the rf load 13 is connected to the output terminal of the rf power amplifier 12, and the switch may be controlled by the processing module 16 to switch, or may be manually completed by a worker, which is not limited herein.
Specifically, when the calibration circuit 14 is connected to the output terminal of the rf power amplifier 12, the processing module 16 may control the topology state of the calibration circuit 14, and the impedance detecting circuit 15 may measure the impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 in different topology states, and since the standard impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 in different topology states may be known in advance, the processing module 16 may form the calibration table according to the standard impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 in different topology states and the corresponding measured impedance value. When calibrating the impedance value of the rf load 13, the rf output loop 121 is connected to the output end of the rf power amplifier 12, and the processing module 16 may obtain the impedance value Dx measured by the impedance detection circuit 15, look up Dx in the calibration table, and calculate the standard impedance value of the rf load 13 according to the table look-up and linear interpolation.
For example, when Dx is between Dm and dm+1, the standard impedance value corresponding to Dm is Rm, and the standard impedance value corresponding to dm+1 is rm+1, the calculation formula may be:
Rx=Rm+(Dx-Dm)(Rm+1-Rm)/(Dm+1-Dm)
In application, when the actual standard impedance value is calculated by table lookup and interpolation, the interpolation mode with more accurate fitting degree can be selected according to the data distribution rule.
In the above-mentioned rf energy generating circuit, when the calibration circuit 14 is connected to the output end of the rf power amplifier 12, the impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 in each topological structure state can be obtained based on the measurement result of the detection circuit, and since the standard impedance values of the calibration circuit 14 in different topological structure states can be known in advance, the standard impedance values and the corresponding measured impedance values of the calibration circuit 14 in each topological structure state can be obtained, and a calibration table is formed according to the standard impedance values and the corresponding measured impedance values of the calibration circuit 14 in each topological structure state, so that when the rf energy generating circuit outputs rf energy, that is, when the rf load 13 is connected to the output end of the rf power amplifier 12, the standard impedance values of the rf load 13 are determined according to the impedance values and the calibration table measured by the detection circuit, and the automatic calibration of the impedance values of the rf load 13 is realized without externally connecting a calibration detection device.
In one embodiment, the processing module 16 is further configured to adjust a topology state of the calibration circuit 14 when the calibration circuit 14 is connected to the output terminal of the rf power amplifier 12, obtain impedance values measured by the impedance detection circuit 15 in each topology state, determine measured impedance values corresponding to each topology state according to the impedance values measured by the impedance detection circuit 15 in each topology state, and form a calibration table according to the standard impedance values and the corresponding measured impedance values of the calibration circuit 14 in each topology state.
Specifically, when the calibration circuit 14 is connected to the output end of the rf power amplifier 12, the processing module 16 adjusts the topology state of the calibration circuit 14, in this process, the impedance detecting circuit 15 continuously measures the impedance value of the output loop of the rf power amplifier 12, that is, the impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 in the current topology state is transmitted to the processing module 16, after receiving the impedance value sent by the impedance detecting circuit 15, the processing module 16 determines the measured impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 in the current topology state according to the impedance value sent by the impedance detecting circuit 15 (for example, directly uses the impedance value measured by the impedance detecting circuit 15 in the current topology state as the impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 in the current topology state), and simultaneously obtains the standard impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 in the current topology state, and then establishes a corresponding relation between the standard impedance value and the measured impedance value in the current topology state to form the calibration table. It can be appreciated that, based on the above manner, the processing module 16 may establish a correspondence between the standard impedance value and the measured impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 in each topological circuit structure state, and further form a calibration table according to the standard impedance value and the corresponding measured impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 in each topological circuit structure state.
In one embodiment, the processing module 16 is further configured to perform a filtering operation when the calibration circuit 14 is connected to the output of the rf power amplifier 12 and the calibration circuit 14 is in a predetermined topology state, wherein the filtering operation includes: controlling the impedance detection circuit 15 to sample for n times, and calculating a sampling average value and a mean square error according to the impedance value of the n times of sampling of the impedance detection circuit 15, wherein n is more than or equal to 2; when the mean square error exceeds the preset error value, the average operation is repeatedly executed, and when the repetition number reaches the preset threshold value, the impedance detection circuit 15 is controlled to stop sampling and output preset prompt information.
The prompt information can comprise at least one of sound information, lamplight information, graphic information and vibration information.
It will be appreciated that when the calibration circuit 14 is in a certain topological state, the n impedance values obtained by controlling the impedance detection circuit 15 to sample n times should be relatively close. Therefore, under normal conditions, if the mean square error exceeds the preset error value, it indicates that the differences between the plurality of impedance values sampled by the impedance detection circuit 15 are large, and obviously, unlike the theoretical situation, it may be determined that there is abnormal data in the n impedance values sampled by the impedance detection circuit 15, and it is necessary to perform the averaging operation again, that is, control the impedance detection circuit 15 to perform a new sampling, and calculate the mean square error again according to the sampling result of the new sampling of the impedance detection circuit 15. If the number of repetitions reaches the preset threshold, it indicates that the mean square error is too large, which is not accidental, and it is likely that the rf energy generating circuit is abnormal, for example, the impedance detecting circuit 15 is abnormal. At this time, the processing module 16 controls the impedance detection circuit 15 to stop sampling and output a preset prompt message to prompt the staff that the rf energy generating circuit is abnormal.
In one embodiment, the processing module 16 is further configured to obtain a sampling average value of the n sampled impedance values of the impedance detection circuit 15 when the mean square error is less than the preset error value, determine a remaining sampled impedance value according to a difference between the n sampled impedance values of the impedance detection circuit 15 and the sampling average value, calculate an average value of the remaining sampled impedance values as a calibration sampling value, and use the calibration sampling value as a measured impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 in the current topology state.
It can be understood that, when the mean square error is smaller than the preset error value, the plurality of impedance values sampled by the impedance detection circuit 15 are relatively close, and the n impedance values sampled by the impedance detection circuit 15 meet the requirement. Taking the sampling average value of the n times of sampling impedance values of the impedance detection circuit 15 as a reference value, further optimizing the n impedance values according to the reference value, discarding a part of data with larger error than the sampling average value in the n impedance values, for example, obtaining a difference value between the n impedance values and the sampling average value, removing the impedance value with the difference value larger than a preset threshold value, for example, obtaining a difference value between the n impedance values and the sampling average value, and retaining the data of a preset proportion value of the total number with smaller error, wherein the preset proportion value can be 50%. The final processing module 16 obtains an average value of the remaining impedance values, uses the average value as a final calibration sampling value, and uses the calibration sampling value as an impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 in the current topology state, thereby improving the accuracy of the impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 in the current topology state.
In application, the calibration data may also be processed in other conventional manners to improve the accuracy of the impedance values of the calibration circuit 14 in the various topological circuit states.
Optionally, each topological circuit structure state may be measured and calibrated in advance, and then, for example, the theoretical standard impedance value of each topological circuit structure state is [100, 200, 300], and after measurement and calibration, the actual standard impedance value of each topological circuit structure state is [100.6, 199.4, 301.2], so that the accuracy of the finally obtained standard impedance value of the radio frequency load 13 is further improved.
In one embodiment, the processing module 16 is further configured to compare the calibration sampling value with a preset reference value, and determine that the calibration sampling value is abnormal when the difference between the calibration sampling value and the preset reference value is outside the preset range.
The reference value may be a theoretical calculation value or an empirical value of the radio frequency load 13, the theoretical calculation value is an idealized value obtained according to a circuit connection relationship and parameters of each circuit element, and the empirical value may be a common value of an actual product and may be obtained from calibration history data of similar products.
It will be appreciated that there may be some difference between the calibration sample value and the predetermined reference value, but the difference between the two values should be within a certain range. When the difference between the calibration sampling value and the preset reference value is outside the preset range, the calibration sampling value is abnormal, and the processing module 16 can control the corresponding device to output corresponding prompt information so as to remind the staff to correct the radio frequency energy generating circuit. The method includes the steps that when the ratio of the difference value between the calibration sampling value and the preset reference value to the preset reference value is larger than the preset value, the calibration sampling value is judged to be abnormal, and a corresponding prompting device is controlled to prompt, wherein the preset value can be 25%, and the prompting device can be an alarm lamp. After the correction of the radio frequency energy generating circuit by the staff is completed, the above calibration process can be restarted to acquire the calibration sampling value again.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the calibration circuit 14 includes a plurality of calibration units 141 connected in series, the calibration units 141 including a calibration resistor and a control switch, the calibration resistor being connected in parallel with the control switch; the processing module 16 is further configured to control on/off of each control switch to adjust a topology state of the calibration circuit 14.
The calibration resistor can be a power resistor with low parasitic inductance and capable of bearing a certain radio frequency power, such as a power resistor with rated power of 10W. In fig. 2, R21, R22 and R23 are calibration resistors, S21, S22 and S23 are control switches, and the processing module 16 can control on-off of S21, S22 and S23.
Specifically, since the calibration resistor is connected in parallel with the control switch, when the control switch is turned on, the control switch will short-circuit the calibration resistor connected in parallel with the control switch, and by controlling the on/off of each control switch, the calibration resistor connected to the calibration circuit 14, that is, the state of the topological circuit structure of the calibration circuit 14, can be controlled, so as to control the standard impedance value of the calibration circuit 14.
Taking the calibration circuit 14 including two calibration units 141 as an example, two calibration resistances of 100 ohm and 200 ohm can be selected in the calibration circuit 14 in this embodiment, and the processing module 16 can select 4 standard impedance values of 0 ohm, 100 ohm, 200 ohm and 300 ohm by controlling the on-off of each control switch, so as to cover most of the impedance value ranges in practical application of the product.
In application, if a calibration impedance value with wider coverage range is desired, more resistors can be selected for combination, so that the calibration current has more topological circuit structure states and more standard impedance values. m resistors can finally obtain 2 m combined values, and n=3 is usually selected, so that 8 combined values can be obtained. For the calibration circuit 14 in the series mode, an equal ratio array standard impedance value with the ratio of 2 times can be selected, and a combined value with the basic standard impedance values of 1, 2 and 3 … times can be obtained, so that the conventional calibration requirement is met.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the calibration circuit 14 includes a plurality of calibration units 141 connected in parallel, and the calibration units 141 include a calibration resistor and a control switch, and the calibration resistor is connected in series with the control switch; the processing module 16 is further configured to control on/off of each control switch to adjust a topology state of the calibration circuit 14.
In fig. 3, R31, R32, and R33 are calibration resistors, S31, S32, and S33 are control switches, and the processing module 16 may control on/off of S31, S32, and S33.
It can be understood that, since the calibration resistor is connected in series with the control switch, when the control switch is turned on, the corresponding calibration resistor is connected to the calibration circuit 14, and the calibration resistor connected to the calibration circuit 14, that is, the state of the topology circuit structure of the calibration circuit 14, can be controlled by controlling the on/off of each control switch, so as to control the standard impedance value of the calibration circuit 14. By way of example, two calibration resistances of 150 ohms and 300 ohms are selected, and finally, 4 calibration standard impedance values of 100 ohms, 150 ohms, 300 ohms and infinity can be obtained, and most of the calibration requirements can be met.
In application, the calibration circuit 14 may also adopt a circuit structure with multiple resistors, i.e. only one resistor is connected to the calibration circuit 14 at a time, and the standard impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 is controlled by controlling the resistor connected to the calibration circuit 14.
In one embodiment, calibration circuit 14 further includes an over-current protection circuit coupled to calibration circuit 14.

The frequency generating circuit can be formed by adopting a resonant circuit, such as a high-precision RC and a corresponding frequency generator, and a high-precision and high-stability crystal oscillation source.

The advantages of the above-mentioned rf energy generating device over the prior art are the same as those of the above-mentioned rf energy generating circuit over the prior art, and are not described in detail herein.
In one embodiment, the application provides a method for calibrating a radio frequency energy generation circuit, comprising the steps of:
S701: when the calibration circuit is connected with the output end of the radio frequency power amplifier, the topological circuit structure state of the calibration circuit is regulated, wherein the calibration circuit has a plurality of different topological circuit structure states, the standard impedance value of the calibration circuit in each topological circuit structure state is different, and the calibration circuit can be switched and connected to the output end of the radio frequency power amplifier;
S702: obtaining impedance values measured by the impedance detection circuit in the state of each topological circuit structure, wherein the impedance detection circuit is connected with the output end of the radio frequency power amplifier and is used for measuring the impedance values of the output load of the radio frequency power amplifier;
S703: when the radio frequency power amplifier is connected with the radio frequency output port in a conducting manner, the standard impedance value of the radio frequency load is determined according to the impedance value measured by the impedance detection circuit and a calibration table, wherein the calibration table comprises the standard impedance value of the calibration circuit in each topological circuit structure state and the corresponding measured impedance value.
In S703, a measured impedance value corresponding to each topology circuit structure state may be determined according to the impedance value measured by the impedance detection circuit in each topology circuit structure state; forming a calibration table according to the standard impedance value and the corresponding measured impedance value of the calibration circuit in each topological circuit structure state; when the radio frequency power amplifier is connected with the radio frequency load, the standard impedance value of the radio frequency load is determined according to the impedance value measured by the impedance detection circuit and the calibration table, wherein the calibration circuit can be switched and connected to the output end of the radio frequency power amplifier.
According to the calibration method of the radio frequency energy generating circuit, the state of the topological circuit structure of the calibration circuit 14 is regulated, so that when the calibration circuit 14 is connected with the output end of the radio frequency power amplifier 12, the measured impedance value in each topological circuit structure state of the calibration circuit 14 can be obtained based on the measurement result of the detection circuit, and the standard impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 in different topological circuit structure states can be known in advance, so that the standard impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 in each topological circuit structure state and the corresponding measured impedance value can be obtained, and a calibration table is formed according to the standard impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 in each topological circuit structure state and the corresponding measured impedance value, and further when the radio frequency energy generating circuit outputs radio frequency energy, namely when the radio frequency load 13 is connected with the output end of the radio frequency power amplifier 12, the standard impedance value of the radio frequency load 13 is determined according to the impedance value measured by the detection circuit and the calibration table, automatic calibration of the standard impedance value of the radio frequency load 13 is realized, and no external calibration detection equipment is required.
In one embodiment, before determining the impedance value corresponding to each topology state according to the impedance value measured by the impedance detection circuit in each topology state, the calibration method of the radio frequency energy generation circuit further includes: and when the calibration circuit is connected with the output end of the radio frequency power amplifier and is in a preset topological circuit structure state, performing a filtering operation, wherein the filtering operation comprises the following steps: controlling the impedance detection circuit to sample for n times, and calculating the mean square error according to the impedance value sampled by the impedance detection circuit for n times, wherein n is more than or equal to 2; and when the mean square error exceeds the preset error value, repeatedly executing the average operation, and when the repetition times reach the preset threshold value, controlling the impedance detection circuit to stop sampling and outputting preset prompt information.
The prompt information can comprise at least one of sound information, lamplight information, graphic information and vibration information.
It will be appreciated that when the calibration circuit 14 is in a certain topological state, the n impedance values obtained by n sampling performed by the control impedance detection circuit 15 should be relatively close. Therefore, under normal conditions, if the mean square error exceeds the preset error value, it indicates that the differences between the plurality of impedance values sampled by the impedance detection circuit 15 are large, and obviously, unlike the theoretical situation, it may be determined that there is abnormal data in the n impedance values sampled by the impedance detection circuit 15, and it is necessary to perform the averaging operation again, that is, control the impedance detection circuit 15 to perform a new sampling, and calculate the mean square error again according to the sampling result of the new sampling of the impedance detection circuit 15. If the number of repetitions reaches the preset threshold, it indicates that the mean square error is too large, and it is likely that the rf energy generating circuit is abnormal, for example, the impedance detecting circuit 15 is abnormal, and the processing module 16 controls the impedance detecting circuit 15 to stop sampling and output a preset prompt message to prompt the staff that the rf energy generating circuit is abnormal.
In one embodiment, determining the impedance value corresponding to each topology state from the impedance values measured by the impedance detection circuit at each topology state comprises: when the mean square error is smaller than the preset error value, a sampling average value of the impedance values sampled by the impedance detection circuit for n times is obtained, a reserved sampling impedance value is determined according to the difference value between the impedance values sampled by the impedance detection circuit for n times and the sampling average value, the average value of the reserved sampling impedance values is calculated to be used as a calibration sampling value, and the calibration sampling value is used as a measured impedance value of the calibration circuit in the current topological circuit structure state.
It can be understood that, when the mean square error is smaller than the preset error value, the plurality of impedance values sampled by the impedance detection circuit 15 are relatively close, and the n impedance values sampled by the impedance detection circuit 15 meet the requirement. Taking the sampling average value of the n times of sampling impedance values of the impedance detection circuit 15 as a reference value, further optimizing the n impedance values according to the reference value, discarding a part of data with larger error than the sampling average value in the n impedance values, for example, obtaining a difference value between the n impedance values and the sampling average value, removing the impedance value with the difference value larger than a preset threshold value, for example, obtaining a difference value between the n impedance values and the sampling average value, and retaining the data of a preset proportion value of the total number with smaller error, wherein the preset proportion value can be 50%. The final processing module 16 obtains an average value of the remaining impedance values, uses the average value as a final calibration sampling value, and uses the calibration sampling value as an impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 in the current topology state, thereby improving the accuracy of the impedance value of the calibration circuit 14 in the current topology state.
In application, the calibration data may also be processed in other conventional manners to improve the accuracy of the impedance values of the calibration circuit 14 in the various topological circuit states.
Optionally, each topological circuit structure state may be measured and calibrated in advance, and then, for example, the theoretical standard impedance value of each topological circuit structure state is [100, 200, 300], and after measurement and calibration, the actual standard impedance value of each topological circuit structure state is [100.6, 199.4, 301.2], so that the accuracy of the finally obtained standard impedance value of the radio frequency load 13 is further improved.
In one embodiment, the radio frequency energy generating circuit calibration method further comprises: and when the difference value between the calibration sampling value and the preset reference value is out of the preset range, judging that the calibration sampling value is abnormal.
The reference value may be a theoretical calculation value or an empirical value of the radio frequency load 13, the theoretical calculation value is an idealized value obtained according to a circuit connection relationship and parameters of each circuit element, and the empirical value may be a common value of an actual product and may be obtained from calibration history data of similar products.
It will be appreciated that there may be some difference between the calibration sample value and the predetermined reference value, but the difference between the two values should be within a certain range. When the difference between the calibration sampling value and the preset reference value is outside the preset range, the calibration sampling value is abnormal, and the processing module 16 can control the corresponding device to output corresponding prompt information so as to remind the staff to correct the radio frequency energy generating circuit. The method includes the steps that when the ratio of the difference value between the calibration sampling value and the preset reference value to the preset reference value is larger than the preset value, the calibration sampling value is judged to be abnormal, and a corresponding prompting device is controlled to prompt, wherein the preset value can be 25%, and the prompting device can be an alarm lamp. After the correction of the radio frequency energy generating circuit by the staff is completed, the above calibration process can be restarted to acquire the calibration sampling value again.
