Description

Technical Field

[0001] This manual belongs to the field of medical device technology, and in particular relates to the installation methods, devices and operating equipment of operating instruments. Background Technology

[0002] Normally, when users need to install or replace manipulators on the tool arm of an operating device, they must first actively adjust the power box used to raise and lower the manipulator to the highest position before installing or replacing the manipulator, in order to avoid safety accidents during the installation process.

[0003] Based on the above method, when users are installing and operating the equipment, they may easily forget to actively adjust the power box, or the position of the adjusted power box may still not meet the safety requirements, which may affect the safety of operation during installation.

[0004] There is currently no effective solution to the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This manual provides a method, apparatus, and operating device for installing operating instruments. It can accurately and automatically detect and determine whether there is a safety risk when the user is installing the operating instrument. If a safety risk is determined to exist, it will automatically generate corresponding risk warning information to remind the user in a timely manner, effectively reducing the safety risks during the installation of operating instruments.

[0006] This manual provides a method for installing an operating device, comprising: monitoring target feature information about the operating device; determining, based on the monitored target feature information, that the operating device needs to be installed on the operating equipment, obtaining the current position parameters of the power box; detecting, based on the current position parameters of the power box, whether the power box is currently within a preset safe position range; and generating corresponding risk warning information if it is determined that the power box is not currently within the preset safe position range.

[0007] This specification also provides an installation device for an operating instrument, comprising: a monitoring module for monitoring target feature information about the operating instrument; an acquisition module for acquiring the current position parameters of a power box when it is determined, based on the monitored target feature information, that the operating instrument needs to be installed on the operating device; a detection module for detecting, based on the current position parameters of the power box, whether the power box is currently within a preset safe position range; and a warning module for generating corresponding risk warning information when it is determined that the power box is not currently within the preset safe position range.

[0008] This specification also provides an operating device, comprising at least: a processor, a tool arm, and a power box; wherein, the power box is disposed on the tool arm, and a sensor is also provided on the inner wall of the groove of the power box, and the operating instrument can be mounted on the tool arm through the groove; the processor, through the installation method of the operating instrument, uses the sensor to obtain the current position parameters of the power box when it is determined that the operating instrument needs to be installed on the operating device; based on the current position parameters of the power box, it detects whether the power box is currently within a preset safe position range; if it is determined that the power box is not currently within the preset safe position range, it generates corresponding risk warning information.

[0009] This specification also provides a computer device, including a processor and a memory for storing processor-executable instructions, wherein the processor executes the instructions to implement the relevant steps of the method for installing the operating device.

[0010] This specification also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions that, when executed, implement the relevant steps of the installation method for the operating device.

[0011] Based on the installation method, apparatus, and operating device of the operating instrument provided in this manual, when a user installs the operating instrument, the operating device can automatically monitor target feature information about the operating instrument to be installed. If, based on the monitored target feature information, it determines that the operating instrument is about to be installed on the operating device, it will actively acquire the current position parameters of the power box. Based on the current position parameters of the power box, it will detect whether the power box is currently within a preset safe position range. If it is determined that the power box is not currently within the preset safe range, it will automatically generate corresponding risk warning information. Therefore, when a user installs the operating instrument, it can accurately and automatically detect whether there is a safety risk; and if a safety risk is determined, it will automatically generate corresponding risk warning information to promptly remind the user, effectively reducing the safety risks during the installation of the operating instrument.

[0012] Furthermore, sensors deployed at the power box can collect sensor signals related to the operating device to be installed as target feature information. Based on this target feature information, it is possible to accurately predict in advance whether the user intends to install the operating device on the operating equipment. This allows for early detection of whether the power box is within a preset safe position range, thereby further reducing safety risks and improving the safety of the operating device installation process.

[0013] Furthermore, by identifying and distinguishing the type of the operating device to be installed, and selecting a matching safe position range as the preset safe position range, it is possible to determine whether there is a safety risk. This makes the detection of safety risks during the installation of operating devices more precise and accurate. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this specification, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this specification, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this specification, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this specification.

[0029] See Figure 1 As shown in the embodiments of this specification, a method for installing an operating instrument is provided. In specific implementation, the method may include the following:

[0030] S101: Monitor target characteristic information about the operating instrument;

[0031] S102: Based on the monitored target feature information, if it is determined that an operating instrument needs to be installed on the operating equipment, obtain the current position parameters of the power box;

[0032] S103: Based on the current position parameters of the power box, detect whether the power box is currently within the preset safe position range;

[0033] S104: If it is determined that the power box is not currently within the preset safe position range, generate corresponding risk warning information.

[0034] In some embodiments, the above-described method for installing the operating device can be specifically applied to one side of the operating equipment.

[0035] The aforementioned operating device may include one or more tool arms, and each tool arm may be equipped with a power box for lifting. The power box can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 2 As shown, the power box has a groove on its side. When installing the operating device, the long rod of the device can be passed through the groove in the power box to hang it on the tool arm, thus completing the installation. After completing the installation, the device can be controlled by the tool arm of the operating device and the power box mounted on the tool arm.

[0036] For details, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, in medical applications, the aforementioned operating device can be a device used for performing surgical procedures on patients, such as an operating table. In manufacturing applications, it can also be a device used for assembling electronic products on an assembly line, such as a robotic arm. In engineering applications, it can also be a device used to replace workers in performing hazardous engineering tasks, such as an engineering robot. It should be noted that the operating devices listed above are only illustrative. In specific implementations, depending on the specific application scenario and processing requirements, the installation method of the aforementioned operating device can also be applied to other operating devices in other application scenarios. This specification does not limit this application.

[0037] In some embodiments, taking the operating device as a patient operating table facing the patient in a medical application scenario as an example, the operating instrument mounted on the tool arm of the operating device can specifically be a surgical instrument.

[0038] For details, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the operating table for patients can be equipped with at least multiple tool arms. Furthermore, these tool arms can be used to mount endoscopes, fume extraction devices, surgical instruments, and other related equipment required during surgery.

[0039] Among them, see Figure 4 As shown, the surgical instrument described above may include: a first end (also called the proximal control section), a long rod, and a second end (also called the distal control section). Specifically, the first end can be connected to the patient's operating table and has an embedded chip for the surgical instrument. This chip can store hardware information related to the surgical instrument, such as the instrument type, electrosurgical energy level, manufacturing date, and instrument serial number (e.g., ID code). The second end is equipped with specific hardware instruments for performing the surgery, such as duckbill forceps, rat-tooth forceps, or powerful duckbill forceps, etc., for performing specific surgical actions.

[0040] The surgical instruments are mounted onto the tool arm of the operating table. See also... Figure 5 As shown, the long rod of the surgical instrument after installation will pass through the groove of the power box, and the hardware instrument located at the second end of the surgical instrument will also pass through the puncture card.

[0041] See Figure 6 As shown, the aforementioned patient operating table can be connected to a medical surgical system. Within this system, the patient operating table can be connected to a doctor's control panel facing the doctor via wired or wireless means. The medical surgical system may further include: an imaging cart, a tool cart, auxiliary equipment, and other devices.

[0042] During the actual surgical procedure, the doctor can first attach the corresponding surgical instruments to the tool arm on the patient's operating table; then, the doctor can control and manipulate the tool arm on the patient's operating table to use the attached surgical instruments to complete the surgical procedure for the patient.

[0043] When doctors mount surgical instruments on a patient's operating table, if the power box is positioned too low, the end of the surgical instrument (e.g., the hardware device at the second end) may come into contact with the patient's body during the installation process, or even puncture the patient, posing a safety risk.

[0044] Based on the aforementioned patient operating table, when a doctor wants to install or replace surgical instruments already installed on the operating table, the operating table automatically monitors the target characteristics of the instruments to be installed. If the operating table determines that the doctor intends to install an instrument based on the monitored characteristics, it can proactively acquire and check the current position parameters of the power unit to see if it is within a preset safe position range. If the power unit is within the preset safe position range and there is no safety risk associated with installing the instrument, the doctor can proceed with the installation. Conversely, if the power unit is not within the preset safe position range and there is a safety risk associated with installing the instrument, a corresponding risk warning can be generated and communicated to the doctor via the display screen on the doctor's console or an alarm device on the operating table. This prevents the doctor from installing the instrument, effectively avoiding safety incidents during installation and protecting the safety of both the doctor and the patient.

[0045] In some embodiments, sensors (or inductors) may be pre-positioned at appropriate locations in the power box to collect target feature information about the operating instrument.

[0046] The aforementioned sensors may specifically include at least one of the following: pressure sensors, speed sensors, optical sensors, RFID sensors (e.g., RFID readers), etc. Specifically, the optical sensors may include: laser, infrared light, illuminance, visible light, and image sensors, etc. It should be noted that the sensors listed above are merely illustrative. In specific implementations, other suitable sensors, such as displacement sensors, acceleration sensors, etc., may be deployed depending on the specific application scenario and processing requirements. This specification does not limit this.

[0047] Accordingly, the aforementioned target feature information may specifically include sensor signals related to the operating instrument collected by sensors.

[0048] Specifically, the aforementioned target feature information can be understood as feature information that reflects the positional changes of the operating device relative to the power box. Depending on the sensor used, the aforementioned target feature information can include different types of feature information. For example, if the sensor used is a pressure sensor, the aforementioned target feature information can specifically be the collected pressure signal of the operating device. As another example, if the sensor used is an infrared sensor, the aforementioned target feature information can specifically be the collected infrared signal of the operating device, etc.

[0049] Furthermore, when the sensor used is an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) sensor, the operating equipment is also pre-loaded with a corresponding RFID tag. Accordingly, the aforementioned target characteristic information can specifically be the RFID tag signal sensed by the RFID sensor within a certain distance range.

[0050] For specific implementation, please refer to Figure 7 As shown, the aforementioned sensors can be installed on the inner wall of the groove in the power box. In some cases, the sensors can also be installed on the outer surface of the power box, see [reference needed]. Figure 8 As shown. Of course, the placement locations listed above are only illustrative. In actual implementation, the sensors can be placed in other suitable locations on the power box, such as the bottom surface of the power box, depending on the specific circumstances. This instruction manual does not limit this.

[0051] In some embodiments, after the operating device is started and it is detected that no operating instrument is installed on the tool arm, it begins to monitor target feature information about the operating instrument.

[0052] When specifically monitoring target feature information about the operating device, the operating device can first control the sensor to collect the corresponding sensor signal according to the first interval duration (e.g., 5 seconds), and determine whether the operating device appears in the vicinity based on the collected sensor signal.

[0053] If an operating device is determined to be present in the vicinity based on the collected sensor signals, the sensors are controlled to collect sensor signals related to the operating device as target feature information at second intervals (e.g., 3 seconds). Based on the currently collected target feature information and the target feature information collected in the previous adjacent time period (e.g., the most recent 2 minutes), data analysis is performed to determine the positional change of the operating device relative to the power box. If it is determined that the positional change trend of the operating device relative to the power box is a trend of convergence, and the distance between the operating device and the power box is less than a preset distance threshold, it can be determined that the user intends to install the operating device on the operating equipment.

[0054] In addition, the aforementioned target feature information may also include photos related to the operation of the equipment captured by a camera.

[0055] In some embodiments, when the operating device determines that an operating instrument needs to be installed on the operating device, it can trigger a corresponding safety mechanism to actively obtain the current position parameters of the power box, and determine whether the power box is currently within a preset safe position range based on the current position parameters of the power box, thereby determining whether there is a safety risk in installing the operating instrument.

[0056] In some embodiments, obtaining the current position parameters of the power box as described above may specifically include: reading the position information of the motor encoder of the tool arm associated with the power box; and determining the current position parameters of the power box based on the position information of the motor encoder of the tool arm.

[0057] In practice, sensor-based acquisition of tool arm feature information can be used to determine the current position parameters of the power box. Alternatively, the current position parameters of the power box can be determined simultaneously based on both the tool arm feature information and the position information of the tool arm's motor encoder.

[0058] In some embodiments, the preset safe position range may specifically include: a preset zero position, or a safe position range that matches the operating instrument.

[0059] The aforementioned preset zero position can specifically refer to the top of the tool arm, or it can refer to the position of the power box when the end of the operating instrument is aligned with the card.

[0060] The aforementioned safe position range matching the operating instrument can be specifically set for different operating instruments, taking into account the specific characteristics of different types of operating instruments (e.g., the overall length of the operating instrument, the shape of the end of the operating instrument, and the sharpness of the end).

[0061] In some embodiments, where the preset safe position range includes a safe position range matching the operating instrument, and the method determines to install the operating instrument on the operating device based on the monitored target feature information, the method may further include the following:

[0062] S1: Determine the type of instrument used for operating the instrument;

[0063] S2: Based on the instrument type of the operating instrument, a safe position range matching the operating instrument is determined by searching a preset safe position range set, and this safe position range is used as the preset safe position range; wherein, the preset safe position range set includes multiple safe position ranges corresponding to multiple instrument types respectively.

[0064] Specifically, a camera can also be installed on the operating device. When determining the type of the operating instrument, the camera can capture images of the vicinity of the power box as detection images; and a preset image recognition model can be used to process these detection images to automatically determine the type of the operating instrument.

[0065] Specifically, the aforementioned preset image recognition model can be a pre-trained neural network model capable of recognizing the type of operating device contained in an image based on the input image.

[0066] When determining the specific device type of the operating device, an installation instruction initiated by the user regarding the installation or replacement of the operating device can also be obtained; wherein, the installation instruction may carry the device number of the operating device to be installed; and then, based on the device number, the device type of the operating device to be installed can be determined by querying the device database.

[0067] The aforementioned preset set of safe position ranges includes multiple pre-defined safe position ranges. Each safe position range corresponds to at least one device type. In practice, the preset set of safe position ranges can be searched to find the safe position range corresponding to the device type being operated, which will then be used as the matching safe position range for that device.

[0068] The specific safe position range in the preset safe position range set can be determined in advance by conducting safety tests on operating instruments of different instrument types.

[0069] In some embodiments, during specific implementation, the current position parameters of the power box can be used to detect whether the power box is currently within a preset safe position range.

[0070] Specifically, the current position parameters of the power box can be compared with the lower limit position parameters of the preset safe position range to obtain the comparison result. Based on the comparison result, it can be determined whether the current position parameters of the power box are greater than the lower limit position parameters. If it is determined that the current position parameters of the power box are greater than the lower limit position parameters, it can be determined that the power box is currently within the preset safe position range. (See also...) Figure 9 As shown. Conversely, if the current position parameter of the power box is determined to be less than or equal to the lower limit position parameter, it can be determined that the power box is not currently within the preset safe position range. (See also...) Figure 10 As shown.

[0071] If it is determined that the power box is not currently within the preset safe position range—for example, if the power box is currently located at a relatively low position or an ambiguous position—it can be judged that directly installing the operating device poses a safety risk. In this case, a risk warning message can be generated stating that the current power box position does not meet safety requirements and that directly installing the operating device poses a safety risk.

[0072] Next, the operating device can send the risk warning information to the user to inform them that there is a safety risk in directly installing the operating device.

[0073] When the risk is actually triggered, the device can display the risk warning information to the user on the screen, play the audio data of the risk warning information through the voice player, and control the warning light to flash to remind the user based on the risk warning information.

[0074] Furthermore, when it is determined that the power box is not currently within the preset safe position range, while generating corresponding risk warning information, the method also includes: controlling the closure of the locator to prevent the installation of operating instruments on the operating equipment.

[0075] The operating device can be set to automatically open the card only when the power box is detected to be within a preset safe position range, so that the operating instrument can be installed normally on the operating device.

[0076] This prevents users from properly attaching and installing the operating instruments onto the tool arm of the operating equipment, effectively avoiding the situation where users continue to forcibly install the operating instruments on the operating equipment without noticing the aforementioned risk warning information.

[0077] 5. In addition, the operating device can also generate instructions on how to adjust the power box according to a preset safe position range.

[0078] The system displays a prompt message indicating that the position meets safety requirements; this prompt message is then sent to the user to guide them to adjust the power box to the preset safe position range in a timely and efficient manner.

[0079] Of course, users can also initiate a safety adjustment command when a risk warning message is displayed. The operating device receives and responds to the safety adjustment command, adjusting the power box to a preset safe position range.

[0080] Alternatively, based on appropriate safety mechanisms, the operating device can also determine if the power box is currently not in a preset safe position.

[0081] Within the specified range, the power box will automatically adjust to a preset safe position.

[0082] After detecting that the user has adjusted the position of the power box according to the risk warning information, or that the operating device has adjusted the position of the power box, the operating device can obtain the adjusted position parameters of the power box, and re-detect whether the adjusted power box is within the preset safe position range based on the adjusted position parameters.

[0083] 5. In some embodiments, after detecting whether the power box is currently within a preset safe position range, the method has...

[0084] When implementing the system, the following may also be included:

[0085] S1: If the power box is determined to be within the preset safe position range, obtain the current status indicator of the tool arm;

[0086] S2: Based on the current status indicator of the tool arm, if it is determined that the current status of the tool arm is adjustable, adjust the status of tool arm 0 to locked.

[0087] Specifically, the aforementioned adjustable state can refer to the state in which the power box can move up and down along the tool arm of the operating device under the action of an external force.

[0088] In the adjustable state, when the user installs the operating instrument, it is easy for the power box to slide downwards and leave the preset safe position range due to accidental contact with the power box or tool arm, which poses a safety risk.

[0089] Therefore, in order to more effectively avoid safety risks during the installation of the operating device, the operating device can actively read the current status identifier (or the field used to characterize the status) of the tool arm to determine the current status of the tool arm. If the current status of the tool arm is determined to be adjustable, the operating device can automatically adjust the status of the tool arm to the locked state to prevent the power box from leaving the preset safe position range during the installation of the operating device.

[0090] Furthermore, if the tool arm is determined to be in an adjustable state, the operating device can also issue a prompt to the user to initiate a locking command. Accordingly, the operating device receives and responds to the user's locking command, adjusting the tool arm to the locked state.

[0091] In some embodiments, if it is determined that the power box is not currently within a preset safe position range and the tool arm is currently in a locked state, it can be concluded that there is no safety risk in installing the operating instrument on the operating device. In this case, the user can normally install the operating instrument on the operating device.

[0092] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the tool arm is currently in a locked state, the method may further include the following:

[0093] S1: Obtain information about the installation status of the operating equipment;

[0094] S2: Based on the installation status information of the operating device, determine whether the installation of the operating device has been completed;

[0095] S3: Once the installation of the operating instrument is confirmed to be complete, adjust the tool arm to an adjustable state.

[0096] Specifically, the installation status information may include: chip verification information of the operating device, and / or the current connection status information of the operating device, etc.

[0097] Specifically, the aforementioned operating device also has an embedded chip. After the operating device is installed into the operating equipment, the operating equipment can read the chip in the operating device and verify the chip to obtain the chip verification information of the operating device.

[0098] In addition, after the operating instrument is installed on the operating device, the operating device can also detect and obtain the current connection status information between the operating instrument and the operating device through devices such as sensors set at the connection between the operating device and the operating instrument.

[0099] Furthermore, the operating device can automatically determine the current installation request of the operating device based on the chip verification information and / or the current connection status information of the operating device, so as to determine whether the installation of the operating device has been accurately completed.

[0100] Once the installation of the operating device is complete, the operating equipment can release the locked state of the tool arm and readjust it to an adjustable state, so that the user can normally operate the tool arm of the operating equipment to complete the corresponding operation.

[0101] In some embodiments, after adjusting the state of the tool arm to an adjustable state, the method further includes: adjusting the operating instrument to a preset memory position or a default initial position according to a preset adjustment rule.

[0102] The operating equipment can record the process of each installation and use of the operating instrument in the local usage log.

[0103] In practice, the operating device can query the historical usage records of the tool arm according to the preset adjustment rules; from the historical usage records, find the historical usage record with the shortest time interval and the same mechanical type as the currently installed operating device as the target historical usage record; find the last stopping position of the operating device from the target historical usage record as the preset memory position; and then move the operating device to the preset memory position through the power box of the tool arm.

[0104] In addition, the operating device can also search for a user-defined initial position based on preset adjustment rules. If a user-defined initial position is found, the operating instrument can be moved to that position via the power box of the tool arm. If no user-defined initial position is found, the operating instrument can be moved to the default initial position via the power box of the tool arm.

[0105] Specifically, the preset memory position and the default initial position can be positions that match the instrument type of the currently installed operating instrument.

[0106] Based on the above embodiments, after determining that the operating device has been installed, the operating device can automatically adjust the newly installed operating device to a suitable position to facilitate user operation and control, thereby improving the user's interactive experience.

[0107] In some embodiments, after adjusting the operating instrument to a preset memory position or a default initial position, the method may further include: receiving an adjustment operation from a user regarding the position of the operating instrument; determining the adjusted position based on the adjustment operation; and setting the adjusted position as the preset memory position.

[0108] In some embodiments, after generating the corresponding risk warning information, the method may further include: displaying the risk warning information to the user through a display screen, and / or playing the risk warning information through a voice player.

[0109] For example, the patient's operating table can send risk warning information to the doctor's console and / or image cart. Correspondingly, the doctor's console and / or image cart can display this risk warning information to the user on a screen.

[0110] As can be seen from the above, based on the installation method of the operating device provided in the embodiments of this specification, when a user installs the operating device, the operating equipment can automatically monitor the target feature information of the operating device to be installed; when it is determined that the operating device is about to be installed on the operating equipment based on the monitored target feature information, it actively obtains the current position parameters of the power box; and based on the current position parameters of the power box, it detects whether the power box is currently within a preset safe position range; if it is determined that the power box is not currently within the preset safe range, it generates corresponding risk warning information. Thus, when a user installs the operating device, it can accurately and automatically detect whether there is a safety risk; and if it is determined that there is a safety risk, it automatically generates corresponding risk warning information to promptly remind the user, effectively reducing the safety risks during the installation of the operating device.

[0111] See Figure 11 As shown in the embodiments of this specification, an operating device is also provided, wherein the operating device includes at least: a processor 1101, a tool arm 1102, and a power box 1103; wherein the power box 1103 is disposed on the tool arm 1102, and a sensor 1104 is also provided on the inner wall of the groove of the power box 1103, and the operating instrument can be hung on the tool arm through the groove;

[0112] The processor 1101, by employing the installation method of the operating device, uses the sensor 1104 to obtain the current position parameters of the power box 1103 when it is determined that the operating device needs to be installed on the operating device; based on the current position parameters of the power box 1103, it detects whether the power box 1103 is currently within a preset safe position range; if it is determined that the power box 1103 is not currently within the preset safe position range, it generates corresponding risk warning information.

[0113] This specification also provides a computer device, including a processor and a memory for storing processor-executable instructions. Specifically, the processor can perform the following steps according to the instructions: monitoring target feature information about an operating device; if, based on the monitored target feature information, it is determined that an operating device needs to be installed on the operating device, obtaining the current position parameters of a power box; based on the current position parameters of the power box, detecting whether the power box is currently within a preset safe position range; if it is determined that the power box is not currently within the preset safe position range, generating corresponding risk warning information.

[0118] In this embodiment, the network communication port 1201 can be a virtual port bound to different communication protocols, thereby enabling the sending or receiving of different data. For example, the network communication port can be a port responsible for web data communication, a port responsible for FTP data communication, or a port responsible for email data communication. Furthermore, the network communication port can also be a physical communication interface or communication chip. For example, it can be a wireless mobile network communication chip, such as GSM or CDMA; it can also be a Wi-Fi chip; or it can be a Bluetooth chip.

[0119] In this embodiment, the processor 1202 can be implemented in any suitable manner. For example, the processor can take the form of a microprocessor or processor and a computer-readable medium storing computer-readable program code (e.g., software or firmware) executable by the (micro)processor, logic gates, switches, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), programmable logic controllers, and embedded microcontrollers, etc. This specification is not limiting.

[0120] In this embodiment, the memory 1203 may include multiple layers. In a digital system, anything that can store binary data can be a memory. In an integrated circuit, a circuit with storage function but no physical form is also called a memory, such as RAM, FIFO, etc. In a system, a storage device with a physical form is also called a memory, such as a memory stick, TF card, etc.

[0121] This specification also provides a computer-readable storage medium based on the above-described method for installing the operating device. The computer-readable storage medium stores computer program instructions that, when executed, perform the following: monitoring target feature information about the operating device; if, based on the monitored target feature information, it is determined that the operating device needs to be installed on the operating device, obtaining the current position parameters of the power box; based on the current position parameters of the power box, detecting whether the power box is currently within a preset safe position range; and if it is determined that the power box is not currently within the preset safe position range, generating corresponding risk warning information.

[0124] See Figure 13 As shown, at the software level, this specification also provides an installation device for operating instruments, which may specifically include the following structural modules:

[0125] Monitoring module 1301 can be used to monitor target feature information about the operating instrument;

[0126] The acquisition module 1302 can be used to acquire the current position parameters of the power box when it is determined that an operating instrument needs to be installed on the operating equipment based on the monitored target feature information.

[0128] The prompt module 1304 can be used to generate corresponding risk prompt information when it is determined that the power box is not currently within the preset safe position range.

[0129] In some embodiments, the target feature information may specifically include sensor signals related to the operating instrument collected by sensors.

[0130] In some embodiments, the sensor may be specifically disposed on the inner wall of the groove or the outer surface of the power box;

[0131] Specifically, the sensor may include at least one of the following: pressure sensor, speed sensor, optical sensor, RFID sensor, etc.

[0132] In some embodiments, when the acquisition module 1302 is specifically implemented, the current position parameters of the power box can be obtained in the following manner: read the motor encoder position information of the tool arm associated with the power box; determine the current position parameters of the power box based on the motor encoder position information of the tool arm.

[0133] In some embodiments, the preset safe position range may specifically include: a preset zero position, or a safe position range that matches the operating instrument, etc.

[0134] In some embodiments, where the preset safe position range includes a safe position range matching the operating instrument, and the operating instrument is determined to be installed on the operating device based on the monitored target feature information, the device can also be used to determine the instrument type of the operating instrument; based on the instrument type of the operating instrument, a safe position range matching the operating instrument is determined by searching a preset safe position range set, which is then used as the preset safe position range; wherein, the preset safe position range set includes multiple safe position ranges corresponding to multiple instrument types respectively.

[0135] In some embodiments, after detecting whether the power box is currently within a preset safe position range, the device can also be used to obtain the current status identifier of the tool arm when it is determined that the power box is currently within a preset safe position range; and adjust the tool arm to a locked state when it is determined that the current state of the tool arm is an adjustable state based on the current status identifier of the tool arm.

[0136] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the current state of the tool arm is locked, the device can also be used to obtain installation status information about the operating instrument; determine whether the installation of the operating instrument is completed based on the installation status information of the operating instrument; and adjust the state of the tool arm to an adjustable state when it is determined that the installation of the operating instrument is completed.

[0137] In some embodiments, the installation status information may specifically include: chip verification information of the operating device, and / or, current connection status information of the operating device, etc.

[0138] In some embodiments, after the tool arm is adjusted to an adjustable state, the device can also be used to adjust the operating instrument to a preset memory position or a default initial position according to preset adjustment rules.

[0139] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the power box is not currently within a preset safe position range, while generating corresponding risk warning information, the device can also be used to control the closure of the card to prevent the installation of operating instruments on the operating equipment.

[0140] It should be noted that the units, devices, or modules described in the above embodiments can be implemented by computer chips or physical entities, or by products with certain functions. For ease of description, the above devices are described by dividing them into various modules according to their functions. Of course, in implementing this specification, the functions of each module can be implemented in one or more software and / or hardware, or the module that implements the same function can be implemented by a combination of multiple sub-modules or sub-units, etc. The device embodiments described above are merely illustrative. For example, the division of units is only a logical functional division, and there may be other division methods in actual implementation. For example, multiple units or components can be combined or integrated into another system, or some features can be ignored or not executed. Furthermore, the coupling or direct coupling or communication connection between the devices or units shown or discussed can be through some interfaces, and the indirect coupling or communication connection between devices or units can be electrical, mechanical, or other forms.

[0141] As can be seen from the above, based on the installation device for the operating instrument provided in the embodiments of this specification, when a user installs the operating instrument, the operating device can automatically monitor target feature information about the operating instrument to be installed; when it is determined, based on the monitored target feature information, that the operating instrument is about to be installed on the operating device, it actively acquires the current position parameters of the power box; and based on the current position parameters of the power box, it detects whether the power box is currently within a preset safe position range; if it is determined that the power box is not currently within the preset safe range, it generates corresponding risk warning information. Thus, when a user installs the operating instrument, it can accurately and automatically detect whether there is a safety risk; and if it is determined that there is a safety risk, it automatically generates corresponding risk warning information to promptly remind the user, effectively reducing the safety risks during the installation of the operating instrument.

[0142] While this specification provides the steps of operation for the methods described in the embodiments or flowcharts, more or fewer steps may be included based on conventional or non-inventive means. The order of steps listed in the embodiments is merely one possible order of execution among many steps and does not represent the only possible order. In actual device or client product execution, the methods shown in the embodiments or drawings may be executed sequentially or in parallel (e.g., in a parallel processor or multi-threaded processing environment, or even a distributed data processing environment). The terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, product, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, product, or apparatus. Without further limitations, the presence of other identical or equivalent elements in a process, method, product, or apparatus that includes said elements is not excluded. The terms "first," "second," etc., are used to denote names and do not indicate any particular order.

[0143] Those skilled in the art will also know that, besides implementing the controller using purely computer-readable program code, the same functions can be achieved by logically programming the method steps, making the controller function as logic gates, switches, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and embedded microcontrollers. Therefore, such a controller can be considered a hardware component, and the devices within it used to implement various functions can also be considered structures within that hardware component. Alternatively, the devices used to implement various functions can be considered as both software modules implementing the method and structures within a hardware component.

[0144] This specification can be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions that are executed by a computer, such as program modules. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, classes, etc., that perform a specific task or implement a specific abstract data type. This specification can also be practiced in distributed computing environments, where tasks are performed by remote processing devices connected via a communication network. In distributed computing environments, program modules can reside on local and remote computer-readable storage media, including storage devices.

[0145] As can be seen from the above description of the embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that this specification can be implemented by means of software plus necessary general-purpose hardware platforms. Based on this understanding, the technical solutions of this specification can essentially be embodied in the form of a software product. This computer software product can be stored in a storage medium, such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk, etc., and includes several instructions to cause a computer device (which may be a personal computer, mobile terminal, server, or network device, etc.) to execute the methods described in the various embodiments or some parts of the embodiments of this specification.

[0146] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. Each embodiment focuses on its differences from other embodiments. This specification can be used in numerous general-purpose or special-purpose computer system environments or configurations. Examples include: personal computers, server computers, handheld or portable devices, tablet devices, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based systems, set-top boxes, programmable electronic devices, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, and distributed computing environments including any of the above systems or devices, etc.

[0147] Although this specification has been described by way of examples, those skilled in the art will recognize that many variations and modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of this specification, and it is intended that the appended claims cover such variations and modifications without departing from the spirit of this specification.
