Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of spray noise reduction, and in particular relates to a refrigerant spray-assisted epidermal cooling, refrigerant recovery and treatment system and a working method thereof used in laser skin surgery. Background Art

[0002] Cryogen Spray Cooling (CSC) has the advantages of high cooling capacity, fast evaporation of surface liquid film, high spatial and temporal selectivity, non-toxicity to the human body, safety and reliability, etc. It has been widely used in laser treatment of vascular proliferative skin diseases. Cryogen spray cooling can selectively cool the epidermis to avoid epidermal damage caused by competitive absorption of laser energy by epidermal melanin and hemoglobin in dermal diseased blood vessels, and at the same time play an anesthetic and analgesic effect, thereby improving the patient's tolerance. Due to the short spray time (within 100ms) and the high volatility of the refrigerant, CSC can selectively cool and protect normal epidermal tissue from thermal damage by the laser without affecting the temperature of skin tissue such as diseased blood vessels.

[0003] In clinical treatment, the refrigerant vapor formed after the refrigerant exchanges heat with the skin is often discharged directly into the atmosphere without any treatment, which may deplete the atmospheric ozone layer and cause the global greenhouse effect. The recovery and treatment of medical clinical refrigerants is imperative.

[0004] The basic principle of traditional refrigerant recovery is to achieve the transfer of refrigerant by establishing a pressure difference between the recovery end and the recovered end. The main recovery methods include cooling method, compression condensation method, liquid push-pull method, composite recovery method and adsorption method. Among them, the cooling method has a slow recovery speed and a long time; the compression condensation method is relatively complex, not suitable for portability, and is only suitable for the recovery of large and medium-sized refrigerants; the liquid push-pull method is suitable for large air-conditioning systems with a large amount of liquid refrigerant in the refrigeration system, and it is impossible to remove the impurities such as moisture and lubricating oil contained in the refrigerant before recovery. It can only recover most of the liquid refrigerant, and some refrigerants cannot be effectively recovered; the recovery equipment of the composite recovery method has no standard basis when switching between gas and liquid recovery modes. The operator can only rely on experience to operate, and it is difficult to ensure the best recovery efficiency. The equipment of the adsorption method is simple and portable, with a high safety factor. It can be used in the field of laser treatment of skin diseases with special requirements, but it still needs to be matched with the current medical laser therapy device. At present, there is a lack of medical refrigerant spray-assisted epidermal cooling, refrigerant recovery and treatment integrated devices on the market. Summary of the invention

[0025] The present invention also provides a working method of a refrigerant spray-assisted skin cooling, refrigerant recovery and treatment system, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0026] Step 1: First, connect the opening of the negative pressure chamber to the skin surface, and control the vacuum pump to evacuate air through the computer output control signal. At this time, the negative pressure chamber forms a closed space on the skin surface, and the vacuum pump is turned off; then, the computer outputs a control signal to control the opening of the refrigerant solenoid valve. After the refrigerant solenoid valve is opened, the refrigerant stored in the refrigerant storage tank is transported to the nozzle through the pipeline and sprayed from the nozzle to the skin surface;

At the same time, the bottom of the side of the pressure-resistant box 10 is opened, and the air outlet 30 is connected to the liquid storage tank 8 pipeline through the small opening;

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the interior of the adsorption device 10 is divided into three chambers, namely, a first chamber 28, a second chamber 24 and a third chamber 27; one side of the first chamber 28 is the second chamber 24, and the two are parallel; the third chamber 27 is below the first chamber 28 and the second chamber 24; the first chamber 28 is connected to the second chamber 24, and the first chamber 28 is separated from the third chamber 27 by a baffle, and the two are not connected to each other; the second chamber 24 is separated from the third chamber 27 by a baffle, but the two are connected to each other;

[0058] Honeycomb amide polymer materials are distributed in the second chamber 24 and the third chamber 27 .

[0059] A working method of a refrigerant spray-assisted epidermal cooling, refrigerant recovery and treatment system for laser skin surgery, the specific steps are as follows:

[0060] Step 1: First, the opening of the negative pressure chamber 21 is connected to the skin surface, and the computer 7 outputs a control signal to control the vacuum pump 16 to perform vacuuming. At this time, the negative pressure chamber 21 forms a closed space on the skin surface, and the vacuum pump 16 is closed; then the computer 7 outputs a control signal to control the opening of the refrigerant solenoid valve 2. After the refrigerant solenoid valve 2 is opened, the refrigerant R134a stored in the refrigerant storage tank 5 is transported to the nozzle 20 through a pipeline, and is sprayed by the nozzle 20 to the skin surface; wherein the refrigerant solenoid valve 2 is used to accurately control the input of the refrigerant, and the opening and closing time of the refrigerant solenoid valve is less than 6ms;

[0061] Step 2: After 50 milliseconds, the refrigerant solenoid valve 2 is closed, and the computer 7 controls the vacuum pump 16 to start again, and the volatilized gas phase refrigerant is extracted from the vacuum port 23. Under the detection of the air pressure sensor 17, the negative pressure in the negative pressure chamber 21 is monitored in real time by the computer 7;

[0062] Step 3: After forming a negative pressure of 0.05 MPa, open the nitrogen solenoid valve 4 for 4 seconds to allow the nitrogen to pass through the pipeline and be output from the nitrogen gas inlet 19, correct the negative pressure in the negative pressure chamber 21, and further squeeze the residual gas phase refrigerant into the suction port 23. When the pressure in the negative pressure chamber returns to normal atmospheric pressure, the suction pump 16 is closed and no gas enters or exits the suction port 23. The negative pressure is set to 0.05 MPa, which can achieve the purpose of sucking out the residual refrigerant vapor and avoid discomfort to the patient.

[0063] Step 4, the gaseous refrigerant passes through the recovery system solenoid valve 15, the oil separator 14 and the drying filter 13, and the unseparated gas passes through the pipeline. The gas enters the adsorption device 10 from the air inlet 26, and the condenser maintains the temperature in the pressure box at 0-4°C. At the same time, there is a gap of 10-20cm between the pressure box body and the adsorption device. The gas first enters the first chamber 28, because the "S"-shaped flow channel of the first chamber 28 achieves the purpose of slowing down the flow of gas, and then enters the second chamber 24 from the first chamber 28 for the first adsorption, and enters the third chamber 27 for the second adsorption after adsorption. Since the third chamber 27 is provided with a wavy partition 29, the gas forms a vortex, which further slows down the gas flow rate and enhances the adsorption effect; the condenser 12 maintains the temperature in the pressure box 11, and the gas flows through the third chamber 27 and finally flows out from the air outlet 30, and then enters the liquid storage tank 8 through the pipeline, and the harmless gas without greenhouse effect will be discharged from the exhaust pipe 9. The present invention fills the pressure-resistant container with amide polymer materials, which have a strong adsorption effect on Freon refrigerants. When Freon vapor passes through the closed container filled with amide, the mass and volume of the amide polymer materials will increase several times, and when the amide polymer materials are placed in the atmosphere, they will return to their original state, have a strong desorption effect, and can be reused. In addition, the amide polymer has a good adsorption effect on Freon refrigerants, high processing efficiency, and can effectively recover Freon refrigerants.

[0064] In summary, the present invention provides a refrigerant spray-assisted epidermal cooling, refrigerant recovery and treatment system for laser skin surgery, so as to achieve the purpose of recovering and treating the refrigerant during the operation and avoiding its dissipation into the atmosphere and affecting the environment; the operation is convenient, safe and environmentally friendly.

A refrigerant spray-assisted skin cooling, refrigerant recovery and treatment system according to claim 1, characterized in that: The inner wall of the adsorption device (10) is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, so as to reduce the adhesion of water mist to the inner wall of the adsorption device (10) and improve the noise reduction capability of the spray.

4. A refrigerant spray-assisted skin cooling, refrigerant recovery and treatment system according to claim 1, characterized in that: A condenser (12) is provided above the adsorption device (10), and there is a certain distance between the two, specifically 10-20 cm.

5. A method for operating a refrigerant spray-assisted skin cooling, refrigerant recovery and treatment system, characterized in that: The specific steps are as follows: Step 1: firstly, the opening of the negative pressure chamber (21) is connected to the skin surface, and the computer (7) outputs a control signal to control the vacuum pump (16) to perform vacuuming. At this time, the negative pressure chamber (21) forms a closed space on the skin surface, and the vacuum pump (16) is turned off; then, the computer (7) outputs a control signal to control the opening of the refrigerant solenoid valve (2). After the refrigerant solenoid valve (2) is opened, the refrigerant stored in the refrigerant storage tank (5) is transported to the nozzle (20) through the pipeline, and is sprayed onto the skin surface by the nozzle (20); Step 2: After the refrigerant has been sprayed for a period of time, the refrigerant solenoid valve (2) is closed, and at the same time, the computer (7) controls the vacuum pump (16) to be started again, and the volatilized gas phase refrigerant therein is extracted from the vacuum port (23), and the negative air pressure in the negative pressure chamber (21) is detected in real time through the air pressure sensor (17), and the detection data is transmitted to the computer (7), and the computer (7) monitors the negative air pressure in the negative pressure chamber (21) in real time; Step 3: After a certain negative pressure is formed in the negative pressure chamber (21), after a period of time, the nitrogen solenoid valve (4) is opened to allow the nitrogen to pass through the pipeline and be output from the nitrogen gas inlet (19), thereby correcting the negative pressure in the negative pressure chamber (21) and further squeezing the remaining gas phase refrigerant into the air extraction port (23). When the pressure in the negative pressure chamber returns to normal atmospheric pressure, the air extraction pump (16) is closed and no gas enters or exits the air extraction port (23); Step 4: The gaseous refrigerant passes through the air extraction port (23), the recovery system solenoid valve (15), the oil separator (14) and the drying filter (13), and finally the unseparated gas enters the adsorption device (10) through the pipeline and the air inlet (26); in the adsorption device (10), the gas first enters the first chamber (28), and the "S"-shaped flow channel set in the first chamber (28) is conducive to slowing down the flow of the gas; then, the gas enters the second chamber (24) from the first chamber (28), and the honeycomb amide polymer material placed inside the second chamber (24) is used for After the first adsorption, the gas enters the third chamber (27) and undergoes a second adsorption by the honeycomb amide polymer material placed inside the third chamber (27). Since the third chamber (27) is provided with a wavy partition plate 2 (29), the gas forms a vortex, further slowing down the gas flow rate and enhancing the adsorption effect. The condenser (12) maintains the temperature inside the pressure-resistant box (11). After the gas flows through the third chamber (27), it flows out from the gas outlet (30) and then enters the liquid storage tank (8) through the pipeline. The gas after the adsorption treatment is finally discharged through the exhaust pipe (9).
