[0061] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0062] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0063] Infusion is a common medical treatment that delivers medications or nutrients to the recipient's blood vessels or other sites via an infusion pump. Different types and numbers of infusion pumps are required depending on the clinical situation, such as infusion pumps, syringe pumps, nutrition pumps, and blood transfusion pumps.

[0064] However, traditional single-unit infusion pumps have the following shortcomings: 1. They occupy a large space, which is not conducive to bedside management and mobility; 2. They lack centralized monitoring and control functions, which is not conducive to operation and monitoring by medical staff; 3. They lack interconnection and integration functions, which is not conducive to the development of informatization and intelligence; 4. They lack sequence recognition and management functions, which can easily cause confusion and errors; 5. They lack power signal distribution and regulation functions, which can easily lead to unstable or abnormal operation of the infusion pump.

[0065] Therefore, the development of multi-channel infusion workstations is increasingly welcomed by the industry. However, current infusion workstations on the market typically consist of a controller with multiple enclosures, each housing multiple infusion pumps. As the number of infusion pumps increases, the overall cascading and connection height of the workstation becomes quite high, affecting the infusion operation for medical staff and the stability of the connections. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of infusion workstation to improve infusion efficiency and safety, as well as enhance the reliability of infusion operations for medical staff and the cascading reliability between infusion workstations and infusion enclosures.

[0066] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0067] This application provides an infusion workstation, a control method for the infusion workstation, a control system for the infusion workstation, and a cascaded circuit, aiming to solve the above-mentioned technical problems of the prior art. The control method for this infusion workstation can be applied to an embodiment of an infusion workstation. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of an infusion workstation according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the infusion workstation 120 includes:

[0068] Multiple infusion tanks (such as) Figure 1 The infusion tanks shown are 1, 2, etc., and different infusion tanks are connected together. At least one infusion pump can be plugged into each infusion tank. Figure 1 The infusion pump is not shown in the figure; it will be described in detail in the following embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0069] The first controller 121 is electrically connected to the monitoring device 110, electrically connected to multiple infusion tanks, and establishes a connection between each infusion tank and the monitoring device.

[0070] Communication interface 122 establishes a connection between infusion workstation 120 and other infusion workstations 130, so that monitoring equipment can monitor and control the infusion pumps plugged into the infusion tanks of other infusion workstations through the communication interface.

[0071] In one alternative embodiment, the infusion workstation may be installed, but is not limited to, on a medical support, at the bedside, or attached to other medical devices, such as on a guide rail or other large equipment.

[0072] In one optional embodiment, if there are multiple infusion workstations, the mechanical connection structure of the multiple infusion workstations can be configured in a double-row or multi-row manner.

[0073] The connection of different infusion tanks in the embodiments of this application refers to the sequential connection of multiple infusion tanks according to their physical positions. For example, any order that can determine the specific position of the infusion tanks in the infusion workstation can be used, such as from top to bottom, from bottom to top, from left to right, or from right to left.

[0074] In this embodiment, at least one infusion pump can be connected to each infusion tank. It is not necessary for every infusion tank in the infusion workstation to have an infusion pump connected; only one infusion pump needs to be connected to any one infusion tank within the workstation. For example, different types and numbers of infusion pumps can be connected to the infusion tank, such as, but not limited to, infusion pumps, syringe pumps, nutrition pumps, and blood transfusion pumps.

[0075] The monitoring device in this application embodiment refers to a device that can be equipped with a display screen (for displaying execution object information, input status information, etc. in the human-computer interaction interface) and control buttons, etc. For example, the monitoring device can be a regular display, a dedicated display, a computer, a tablet, etc., and can be equipped with a digital display, liquid crystal display, etc.

[0076] The communication interface in this embodiment can be used to connect with other infusion workstations, such as a wired or wireless interface. Thus, the monitoring device can not only monitor and control the infusion pumps plugged into the infusion tank of the infusion workstation, but also monitor and control the infusion pumps plugged into the infusion tanks of other infusion workstations through the aforementioned communication interface.

[0077] In this embodiment of the application, the monitoring device or infusion workstation extends the control and detection of the infusion pumps already in operation in other infusion workstations through a communication interface. The monitoring device has the function of controlling the infusion pumps of the infusion workstation and other infusion workstations. The control includes: remotely adjusting and controlling the injection speed, injection dose, injection mode, etc. of the infusion pump. The status of the infusion pump is fed back to the monitoring device through cascaded communication so that the monitoring device can perform remote monitoring.

[0078] In one optional example, different infusion workstations are cascaded. The communication interface can be, but is not limited to, wired or wireless communication. Two or even three infusion workstations can be connected. The connection method is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

[0079] For example, wired communication methods include, but are not limited to: Ethernet communication, RS485, RS422, RS232, CAN bus, USB, etc.; wireless communication methods include, but are not limited to: WiFi, Bluetooth, NB-IoT, ZigBee, CAT1, 2G / 3G / 4G cellular networks, etc.

[0080] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1The first controller 121 shown differs from the second controller 123 described below in its location within the infusion workstation 120, its connection method with the infusion tanks, and its function. For example, the first controller 121 can be understood as the upper controller in the infusion workstation. This first controller is configured to electrically connect multiple infusion tanks and establish connections between each of the aforementioned infusion tanks and the aforementioned monitoring equipment. By setting up this first controller, communication between multiple infusion tanks and the monitoring equipment can be realized, as well as the monitoring equipment can control and interconnect the infusion tanks.

[0081] For example, the first controller can communicate with the monitoring equipment and can also perform digital display, LCD display, etc. In addition, the infusion workstation has additional functions: for example, heating the infused liquid. Therefore, multiple tubular heaters can be installed on the infusion tank, that is, a single heating channel or multiple channels, such as two heating channels.

[0082] For example, the second controller 123 can be understood as a lower controller in the infusion workstation, connected to the aforementioned infusion workstation and other infusion workstations to establish a cascade relationship between the aforementioned infusion workstations and other infusion workstations, so as to realize cascade control of the infusion workstations.

[0083] In one optional embodiment, the mechanical connection structure between the infusion tank and the first controller, the second controller, or multiple infusion tanks can be, for example, but not limited to, a customized port such as a USB interface, a 4-band, or a 6-band interface. The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the above-mentioned mechanical connection structure, as long as it meets the power supply and communication requirements.

[0084] In one optional embodiment, the expansion control of the infusion tank in the infusion workstation is not limited to the expansion control method described in the embodiments of this application. The infusion tank can be continuously expanded as needed, for example, it can be expanded to 2 groups, 4 groups, or even more groups.

[0085] In one optional embodiment, the interconnection between infusion tanks can be achieved using a resistor voltage divider method; the physical sequence connection of the infusion tanks from top to bottom can be achieved using a fixed serial port allocation method; the interconnection of the infusion tanks can be achieved using a resistor voltage divider and a follower buffer method (e.g., using an operational amplifier as a follower); the interconnection of the infusion workstation system can realize the interconnection between two or more infusion workstations.

[0086] In one example, the infusion tank in the infusion workstation has a connecting function, that is, it can connect to communication upwards and to expansion downwards; the infusion tank can be plugged into one or more infusion pumps, for example, the pumps can be in the form of: a single pump, a dual-channel pump, a three-channel pump or a pump with more than one channel.

[0087] Through the embodiments of this application, the infusion workstation can realize the sequential connection of multiple infusion boxes to achieve multi-channel infusion function and meet different clinical needs; it can realize the electrical connection between monitoring equipment and infusion workstation, other infusion workstation, and other infusion workstations, so that the monitoring equipment can monitor and control at least one infusion pump plugged into the infusion workstation and other infusion workstations, realize the interconnection and integrated management between multiple infusion workstations, improve the scalability and flexibility of infusion workstation, and meet different clinical needs.

[0088] In one alternative implementation, it remains as follows Figure 1 As shown, the infusion workstation 120 also includes:

[0089] The second controller 123 is connected to the aforementioned infusion workstation 120 and the other infusion workstations 130 to establish a cascading relationship between the aforementioned infusion workstations and the other infusion workstations.

[0090] In this embodiment, the second controller can realize communication handshake with the monitoring equipment in the control system of the infusion workstation, and indicate the end of the expansion of the infusion tank in the infusion workstation; at the same time, the infusion workstation can also provide an interconnection communication interface between the infusion workstation and other infusion workstations.

[0091] In this embodiment of the application, by setting a second controller in the infusion workstation, the infusion workstation can establish a communication connection with other infusion workstations, realize the interconnection and integrated management between multiple infusion workstations, improve the scalability and flexibility of the system, and thus improve the integration and reliability of the infusion workstation, making it convenient for users to operate and monitor.

[0092] The infusion workstation in this application embodiment can combine multiple infusion pumps of different types and quantities, such as infusion pumps and syringe pumps, to achieve cascaded drug delivery. Therefore, due to the increase in the number and types of infusion pumps, this application embodiment provides the following optional implementation methods to clearly determine the correspondence between infusion pumps and drugs, as well as the order of drug delivery and administration among multiple infusion pumps.

[0093] In one optional implementation, different infusion tanks among the plurality of described infusion tanks are encoded according to their physical location. For example, as Figure 2 The diagram shows an optional infusion workstation architecture. The infusion tanks can be coded as infusion tank 1, infusion tank 2, infusion tank 3, and so on.

[0094] In this embodiment, by encoding the physical location of different infusion boxes, the sequential identification and management of the infusion boxes can be achieved, avoiding confusion and errors. Furthermore, multiple infusion boxes can be used in combination to achieve cascaded drug delivery between different infusion boxes.

[0095] In one alternative implementation, each infusion tank may be connected to multiple infusion pumps, and the multiple infusion pumps are coded.

[0096] Optionally, the type and number of infusion pumps can vary greatly, for example... Figure 2 As shown, the infusion pump can be an infusion pump 1, an injection pump 2, a nutrition pump 3, a blood transfusion pump 4, etc. Each infusion pump is connected to the infusion box via a connector. For example, the infusion pump 1 is connected to the infusion box via connector UART1, the injection pump 2 is connected to the infusion box via connector UART2, the nutrition pump 3 is connected to the infusion box via connector UART3, and the blood transfusion pump 4 is connected to the infusion box via connector UART4.

[0097] In one alternative example, after each infusion box is connected to an infusion pump, such as, but not limited to, an infusion pump, syringe pump, nutrition pump, blood transfusion pump, etc., the infusion box and the connected infusion pump constitute a combined box.

[0098] In this embodiment, it is not necessary for each infusion tank in the infusion workstation to be connected to an infusion pump; only one infusion pump needs to be connected to any one infusion tank in the infusion workstation. For example, if multiple infusion pumps are connected to any one infusion tank of the infusion workstation, or if multiple infusion tanks have multiple infusion pumps connected in total, then encoding the multiple infusion pumps can achieve sequential identification and management of the infusion pumps, avoiding confusion and errors.

[0099] In this embodiment, the infusion workstation can identify and manage the sequence of the infusion tank and the infusion pump, avoiding confusion and errors, and ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the infusion.

[0100] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 3 The diagram shows a frame of a single infusion tank in the infusion workstation. Each of the aforementioned infusion tanks also includes:

[0101] An upward-expanding interface connects to an upward-expanding infusion tank.

[0102] The downward-extending interface connects to the downward-extending infusion tank.

[0103] Serial universal interface (such as) Figure 3 The UART0 shown establishes a connection between the infusion tank and the communication interface in the infusion workstation, so that the infusion tank can communicate with the first controller.

[0104] Multiple connectors (such as) Figure 3 As shown in UART1, UART2, UART3, and UART4, each of the above-mentioned interfaces is connected to one of the above-mentioned infusion pumps. For example... Figure 3 In this system, infusion pump 1 is connected to the infusion tank via UART1, syringe pump 2 is connected to the infusion tank via UART2, nutrition pump 3 is connected to the infusion tank via UART3, and blood transfusion pump 4 is connected to the infusion tank via UART4.

[0105] In this embodiment of the application, the above can improve the interconnectivity and compatibility of the infusion tank and realize data transmission in multiple ways.

[0106] In one optional embodiment, the upward expansion interface is connected to the upwardly expanding infusion tank and outputs power signals and communication signals upward; the downward expansion interface is connected to the downwardly expanding infusion tank and outputs power signals and communication signals upward.

[0107] Optionally, the aforementioned upward or downward expansion interfaces can be, but are not limited to, USB interfaces, custom interfaces, etc.

[0108] In one optional embodiment, each infusion tank is connected to the communication interface of the infusion workstation through an internal serial universal interface UART0. The UART0 interface communicates with the communication bus, thereby enabling communication between multiple infusion tanks. The communication between infusion tanks can be wireless or wired, and the communication content includes tank information, infusion pump information, and infusion status.

[0109] In one optional embodiment, the code for each of the above-mentioned infusion boxes is determined by the power signal obtained by resistor voltage division of the above-mentioned infusion box.

[0110] In one alternative implementation, Figure 4 This is a schematic block diagram illustrating the cascading principle between infusion tanks in an infusion workstation according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the first controller further includes a controller circuit unit 310 configured to provide a reference power signal to the plurality of infusion tanks.

[0111] The aforementioned multiple infusion tanks include at least:

[0112] The first infusion tank is provided with a first circuit control unit 320. The first circuit control unit is configured to receive a reference power signal from the controller circuit unit and perform a resistor voltage divider based on the reference power signal of the controller circuit unit to obtain the power signal of the first circuit control unit.

[0113] The second infusion tank is provided with a second circuit control unit 330. The second circuit control unit is configured to receive a power signal from the first circuit control unit and perform a resistor voltage divider based on the power signal from the first circuit control unit to obtain the power signal of the second circuit control unit.

[0114] In addition, such as Figure 4 As shown, the multiple infusion tanks may also include, but are not limited to, a third infusion tank, which is equipped with a third circuit control unit 340. The circuit connection relationship and function of the third circuit control unit 320 and the second circuit control unit 330 are the same or similar. They all belong to the tank circuit control unit, which will not be described in detail here.

[0115] Optionally, in this embodiment, the controller circuit unit 310 in the first controller is configured to provide a reference power supply to provide a reference power signal to the plurality of downstream infusion tanks for use by the infusion tanks to extend signals. The first circuit control unit 320 is configured to receive the power signal from the controller circuit unit 310 and provide a power reference downwards; the second circuit control unit 330 is configured to receive the power signal from the first circuit control unit 320 and provide a power reference downwards; the third circuit control unit 340 is configured to receive the power signal from the second circuit control unit 330 and provide a power reference downwards.

[0116] In one optional embodiment, the controller circuit unit 310 monitors the voltage of the reference power supply, and Vref = (R3 + R5) / R5V1; for the first circuit control unit 320, the sampled voltage is: V2 = R6 / (R6 + R8)Vref = V2 = R6 / (R6 + R8)(R3 + R5) / R5V1; for the second circuit control unit 330, the sampled voltage is: V3 = R12 / (R10 + R12) * V2 = R12 / (R10 + R12) * V2; for the third circuit control unit 340, the sampled voltage is: V3 = R12 / (R10 + R12) * V2 = R12 / (R10 + R12) * V2.

[0117] Each infusion tank (i.e., the infusion tank with the infusion pump plugged in) receives a reference power supply from the upper-level controller or the infusion tank itself. This power supply is then divided by resistors to generate a voltage signal corresponding to each infusion tank. This voltage signal is sampled and processed by the infusion tank's ADC. Further, this voltage signal serves as the reference power supply signal for the next infusion tank, and so on. This process allows the physical location of the infusion tanks to be determined. Multiple infusion tanks are then sequentially encoded, for example, from top to bottom. In this embodiment, each infusion tank's serial port corresponds to a specific port, thus implementing a serial port correspondence between physical locations.

[0118] In one optional embodiment, the infusion tanks can be connected sequentially from top to bottom according to physical order by voltage grouping. Optionally, the infusion workstation can encode the infusion pumps sequentially from top to bottom or from bottom to top to achieve sequential management of the infusion pumps.

[0119] Through the embodiments of this application, different voltages can also be obtained by resistor voltage division to determine the number of the connected infusion tank, so as to realize the distribution and regulation of the power signal of the infusion tank and ensure the normal operation of the infusion tank.

[0120] In one optional embodiment, the control system of the infusion workstation can also obtain the number of infusion workstations to be controlled and determine the infusion workstation operation mode based on the number of infusion workstations. The infusion workstation operation mode includes a single infusion workstation operation mode and a multi-infusion workstation operation mode.

[0121] Since the different infusion tanks in the multiple infusion tanks of each infusion workstation are connected sequentially, at least one infusion pump can be plugged into each infusion tank. Therefore, the control system of the infusion workstation in this embodiment can control the infusion pumps connected to the infusion tanks in the infusion workstation to perform infusion tasks according to the infusion workstation's operating mode.

[0122] Through the embodiments of this application, adaptive and intelligent control of different numbers and types of infusion workstations can be achieved, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of the system.

[0123] In one optional implementation, if the infusion workstation operates in a single infusion workstation mode, the infusion workstation is controlled to sequentially connect to multiple infusion tanks and the multiple infusion tanks are coded; and each of the infusion tanks is controlled to connect to multiple infusion pumps and the multiple infusion pumps are coded.

[0124] Through the above embodiments, in this single infusion workstation mode, the monitoring device can sequentially identify and manage multiple infusion tanks and multiple infusion pumps within a single infusion workstation. Furthermore, it can realize the infusion function of multiple infusion pumps within a single infusion workstation, meeting different infusion needs. Therefore, the embodiments of this application can improve the reliability of infusion operations by medical personnel, as well as the cascading reliability between multiple infusion tanks within the infusion workstation, avoiding confusion and errors during infusion operations.

[0125] In one optional implementation, in the multi-infusion workstation mode, the number of other infusion workstations can be one or more. If the infusion workstation operation mode is the multi-infusion workstation mode, then the master infusion workstation and slave infusion workstations among the multiple infusion workstations are determined; firstly, the master infusion workstation is controlled to connect to multiple infusion tanks, and the multiple infusion tanks are coded; then, the slave infusion workstation is controlled to connect to multiple infusion tanks, and the multiple infusion tanks are coded; firstly, each infusion tank in the master infusion workstation is controlled to connect to multiple infusion pumps, and the multiple infusion pumps are coded; then, each infusion tank in the slave infusion workstation is controlled to connect to multiple infusion pumps, and the multiple infusion pumps are coded.

This avoids confusion and errors during infusion operations, enabling larger-scale multi-channel infusion functionality to meet more complex clinical needs.

[0127] The technical effects achievable by the infusion workstation provided in this application include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. The infusion workstation can sequentially connect multiple infusion boxes to achieve multi-channel infusion functionality and meet different clinical needs; 2. The infusion workstation can achieve electrical connection with monitoring equipment to realize centralized monitoring and control of each infusion box and infusion pump, improving infusion efficiency and safety; 3.

The infusion workstation can realize sequential identification and management of infusion boxes and infusion pumps to avoid confusion and errors, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of infusion; 5. The infusion workstation can realize the distribution and adjustment of power signals for infusion boxes and infusion pumps to ensure the working stability and normal operation of infusion boxes and infusion pumps.

[0128] This application also provides a control system for an infusion workstation, and a control method for the infusion workstation, which can be applied to an embodiment of an infusion workstation. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the control system of an infusion workstation according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 As shown, the above system includes:

[0129] The monitoring device 510 is equipped with a display screen (e.g., a touch screen, to display a human-machine interface or control panel).

[0130] At least one infusion workstation 520, each of which is equipped with multiple infusion tanks (e.g. Figure 5 The infusion tank 51, infusion tank 52, etc. shown in the figure, the first controller 521, and the communication interface 522, wherein:

[0131] Multiple infusion tanks, with different infusion tanks connected together, and at least one infusion pump can be plugged into each infusion tank. Figure 5 The infusion pump is not shown in the figure; it will be described in detail in the following embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0132] The first controller 521 is electrically connected to the monitoring device 510, electrically connected to multiple infusion tanks, and establishes a connection between each infusion tank and the monitoring device.

[0133] Communication interface 522 establishes a connection between infusion workstation 520 and other infusion workstations, so that the monitoring equipment can monitor and control the infusion pumps plugged into the infusion tanks of the other infusion workstations through the communication interface.

[0134] The connection of different infusion tanks in the embodiments of this application refers to the sequential connection of multiple infusion tanks according to their physical positions. For example, any order that can determine the specific position of the infusion tanks in the infusion workstation can be used, such as from top to bottom, from bottom to top, from left to right, or from right to left.

[0135] In this embodiment, at least one infusion pump can be connected to each infusion tank. It is not necessary for every infusion tank in the infusion workstation to have an infusion pump connected; only one infusion pump needs to be connected to any one infusion tank within the workstation. For example, different types and numbers of infusion pumps can be connected to each infusion tank, such as, but not limited to, infusion pumps, syringe pumps, nutrition pumps, and blood transfusion pumps.

[0136] The monitoring device in this application embodiment refers to a device that can be equipped with a human-computer interaction interface (for displaying execution object information, injection status information, etc.) and control buttons, etc. For example, the monitoring device can be a regular monitor, a dedicated monitor, a computer, a tablet, etc., and can be equipped with a digital display, liquid crystal display, etc.

[0137] The communication interface in this embodiment is an interface that can achieve communication connection with other infusion workstations, such as a wired interface or a wireless interface.

[0138] In one optional example, different infusion workstations are cascaded. The communication interface can be, but is not limited to, wired or wireless communication. Two or even three infusion workstations can be connected. The connection method is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

[0139] For example, wired communication methods include, but are not limited to: Ethernet communication, RS485, RS422, RS232, CAN bus, etc.; wireless communication methods include, but are not limited to: WiFi, Bluetooth, NB-IoT, ZigBee, etc.

[0140] In this way, the monitoring equipment can not only monitor and control the infusion pumps plugged into the infusion tank in the infusion workstation, but also monitor and control the infusion pumps plugged into the infusion tank in other infusion workstations through the above-mentioned communication interface.

[0141] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 The first controller 521 shown here differs from the second controller 523 described below in its location in the infusion workstation, its connection method with the infusion tank, and its function.

[0142] For example, the first controller 521 can be understood as the upper controller in the infusion workstation. This first controller is used to electrically connect multiple infusion tanks and establish connections between each of the aforementioned infusion tanks and the aforementioned monitoring equipment. Therefore, by setting this first controller, communication connections between multiple infusion tanks and monitoring equipment can be realized, enabling the monitoring equipment to control and interconnect the infusion pumps connected to the infusion tanks, and perform other functions such as interconnection monitoring.

[0143] For example, the first controller can communicate with the monitoring equipment and can also perform digital display, LCD display, etc. In addition, the infusion workstation has specific additional functions: for example, heating the infused liquid. Therefore, the infusion tank can be equipped with multiple heating whips, that is, a single heating channel or multiple channels, such as two heating channels.

[0144] In this embodiment, the monitoring device is equipped with a display screen for displaying execution object information, infusion status information, etc., in the human-machine interface. The first controller is communicatively connected to the display screen and can be used to provide reference power signals to multiple infusion tanks. The first infusion tank receives the power signal from the first controller, performs a resistor voltage divider to obtain the power signal of the first infusion tank, and connects to multiple infusion pumps. The second infusion tank receives the power signal from the first infusion tank, performs a resistor voltage divider to obtain the power signal of the second infusion tank, and connects to multiple infusion pumps. The third infusion tank receives the power signal from the second infusion tank, performs a resistor voltage divider to obtain the power signal of the third infusion tank, and connects to multiple infusion pumps, and so on.

[0145] In this embodiment, the monitoring device or infusion workstation extends its control and monitoring of infusion pumps already in operation in other infusion workstations via a communication interface. The monitoring device controls the infusion pumps of both the infusion workstation and other infusion workstations. This control includes remotely adjusting and controlling the infusion pump's injection rate, dosage, and mode. The status of the infusion pumps is fed back to the monitoring device via cascaded communication for remote monitoring. Therefore, this embodiment enables the monitoring and control of infusion workstations, improving their intelligence and user-friendliness.

[0146] In one optional embodiment, the expansion control of the infusion tank in the infusion workstation is not limited to the expansion control method described in the embodiments of this application. The infusion tank can be continuously expanded as needed, for example, it can be expanded to 2 groups, 4 groups, or even more groups.

[0147] In one optional embodiment, the interconnection between infusion tanks can be achieved using a resistor voltage divider method; the physical sequence connection of the infusion tanks from top to bottom can be achieved using a fixed serial port allocation method; the interconnection of the infusion tanks can be achieved using a resistor voltage divider and a follower buffer method (e.g., using an operational amplifier as a follower); the interconnection of the infusion workstation system can realize the interconnection between two or more infusion workstations.

[0148] In one example, the infusion tank in the infusion workstation has a connecting function, that is, it can be connected to communication upwards and to expansion downwards; at least one infusion pump is plugged into any infusion tank in the infusion station, for example, the pump can be a single pump, a dual-channel pump, a three-channel pump or a pump with more than one channel.

[0149] Through the embodiments of this application, the infusion workstation can realize the sequential connection of multiple infusion boxes to achieve multi-channel infusion function and meet different clinical needs; it can realize the electrical connection between monitoring equipment and infusion workstation, other infusion workstation, and other infusion workstations, so that the monitoring equipment can monitor and control at least one infusion pump plugged into the infusion workstation and other infusion workstations, realize the interconnection and integrated management between multiple infusion workstations, improve the scalability and flexibility of infusion workstation, and meet different clinical needs.

[0150] In one alternative implementation, it remains as follows Figure 5 As shown, the above-mentioned infusion workstation 520 also includes:

[0151] Second controller 523; The infusion workstation 520 is connected to the other infusion workstations 530 via the second controller 523 to establish a cascading relationship between the infusion workstations and the other infusion workstations.

[0152] In one optional example, the second controller 523 can be understood as a lower controller in the infusion workstation, connected to the aforementioned infusion workstation and the other infusion workstations to establish a cascade relationship between the aforementioned infusion workstations and the other infusion workstations, communicate with other infusion workstations through the second controller, and provide cascade signals to realize cascade control of the infusion workstations.

[0153] In this embodiment of the application, by setting a second controller 523 in the infusion workstation, the infusion workstation can establish a communication connection with other infusion workstations, realize the interconnection and integrated management between multiple infusion workstations, improve the scalability and flexibility of the system, and thus improve the integration and reliability of the infusion workstation, making it convenient for users to operate and monitor.

[0154] The infusion workstation in this application embodiment can combine multiple infusion pumps of different types and quantities, such as infusion pumps and syringe pumps, to achieve cascaded drug delivery. Therefore, due to the increase in the number and types of infusion pumps, this application embodiment provides the following optional implementation methods to clearly determine the correspondence between infusion pumps and drugs, as well as the order of drug delivery and administration among multiple infusion pumps.

[0155] In one optional embodiment, the mechanical connection structure between the infusion tank and the first controller, the second controller, or multiple infusion tanks can be, for example, but is not limited to, a USB interface, a 4-band, or a 6-band customized port. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the aforementioned mechanical connection structure, as long as it meets the power supply and communication requirements. Examples include a standard USB interface and a customized port (4-band, 6-band, etc.).

[0156] In one optional embodiment, the control system of the infusion workstation can also obtain the number of infusion workstations to be controlled and determine the infusion workstation operation mode based on the number of infusion workstations. The infusion workstation operation mode includes a single infusion workstation operation mode and a multi-infusion workstation operation mode.

[0157] Since the different infusion tanks in the multiple infusion tanks of each infusion workstation are connected in sequence, at least one infusion pump can be plugged into the infusion tank. Therefore, the control system of the infusion workstation in this application embodiment can control the infusion pump connected to the infusion tank in the infusion workstation to perform the corresponding infusion task according to the infusion workstation operation mode.

[0158] Through the embodiments of this application, adaptive and intelligent control of different numbers and types of infusion workstations can be achieved, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of the system.

[0159] In one alternative implementation, a schematic diagram of the control system for the infusion workstation in single-infusion workstation mode can still be referenced. Figure 5 As shown, if the above-mentioned infusion workstation operates in a single infusion workstation mode, then the above-mentioned infusion workstation is controlled to sequentially connect to multiple infusion tanks and the multiple infusion tanks are coded; and each of the above-mentioned infusion tanks is controlled to connect to multiple infusion pumps and the multiple infusion pumps are coded.

[0160] Through the above embodiments, in this single infusion workstation mode, the monitoring device can sequentially identify and manage multiple infusion tanks and multiple infusion pumps within a single infusion workstation. Furthermore, it can realize the infusion function of multiple infusion pumps within a single infusion workstation, meeting different infusion needs. Therefore, the embodiments of this application can improve the reliability of infusion operations by medical personnel, as well as the cascading reliability between multiple infusion tanks within the infusion workstation, avoiding confusion and errors during infusion operations.

[0161] In one optional implementation, the number of other infusion workstations in the multi-infusion workstation mode, i.e., the number of infusion workstations, can be one or more. For example, when the number of infusion workstations is one, a schematic diagram of the control system for the infusion workstations in the multi-infusion workstation mode is shown below. Figure 6 As shown, if the above-mentioned infusion workstation operates in a multi-infusion workstation mode, then the main infusion workstation 520 and the slave infusion workstation 530 among the multiple infusion workstations are determined; firstly, the main infusion workstation 520 is controlled to connect to multiple infusion tanks, and the multiple infusion tanks are coded; then, the slave infusion workstation 530 is controlled to connect to multiple infusion tanks, and the multiple infusion tanks are coded; firstly, each infusion tank in the main infusion workstation 520 is controlled to connect to multiple infusion pumps, and the multiple infusion pumps are coded; then, each infusion tank in the slave infusion workstation 530 is controlled to connect to multiple infusion pumps, and the multiple infusion pumps are coded.

[0162] In this multi-infusion workstation mode, communication connections with other infusion workstations can be established, enabling interconnection and integrated management among multiple infusion workstations, cascading functionality between multiple infusion workstations, improving the reliability of infusion operations for medical staff, and enhancing the cascading reliability between multiple infusion workstations and between multiple infusion boxes within an infusion workstation. This avoids confusion and errors during infusion operations, enabling larger-scale multi-channel infusion functionality to meet more complex clinical needs.

[0163] The technical effects achievable by the infusion workstation in this application embodiment include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. The infusion workstation can sequentially connect multiple infusion boxes to achieve multi-channel infusion functionality and meet different clinical needs; 2. The infusion workstation can achieve electrical connection with monitoring equipment to realize centralized monitoring and control of each infusion box and infusion pump, improving infusion efficiency and safety; 3. The infusion workstation can achieve communication connection with other infusion workstations to realize interconnection and integrated management among multiple infusion workstations, improving system scalability and flexibility; 4. The infusion workstation can realize sequential identification and management of infusion boxes and infusion pumps to avoid confusion and errors, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of infusion; 5. The infusion workstation can realize the distribution and adjustment of power signals for infusion boxes and infusion pumps to ensure the working stability and normal operation of infusion boxes and infusion pumps.

[0164] This application also provides a cascaded circuit, which includes:

[0165] The first-level connection is set between multiple infusion tanks in the infusion workstation and configured to establish a first-level connection relationship between the multiple infusion tanks in the infusion workstation, so that the monitoring equipment can monitor and control the infusion pumps plugged into the infusion tanks in the infusion workstation based on the first-level connection relationship.

[0166] The second-level connection is set between the above-mentioned infusion workstation and other infusion workstations other than the above-mentioned infusion workstation, and is configured to establish a second-level connection relationship between the above-mentioned infusion workstation and the other infusion workstations, so that the above-mentioned monitoring equipment can monitor and control the infusion pumps plugged into the infusion tanks of the other infusion workstations based on the above-mentioned second-level connection relationship.

[0167] In one optional embodiment, the cascade lines are respectively connected to the communication interface to define the master-slave relationship of the cascaded entities through the communication interface. This enables cascaded management of multiple infusion tanks and multiple infusion pumps in multiple infusion workstations, improving the scalability and flexibility of monitoring and controlling multiple infusion workstations.

[0168] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the application, the monitoring device or infusion workstation extends the control and detection of the infusion pumps already in operation in other infusion workstations through the communication interface. The monitoring device has the function of controlling the infusion pumps of the infusion workstation and other infusion workstations. The control includes: remotely adjusting and controlling the injection speed, injection dose, injection mode, etc. of the infusion pump. The status of the infusion pump is fed back to the monitoring device through cascaded communication so that the monitoring device can perform remote monitoring.

[0169] Through the embodiments of this application, the infusion workstation can realize the sequential connection of multiple infusion boxes to achieve multi-channel infusion function and meet different clinical needs; it can realize the electrical connection between monitoring equipment and infusion workstation, other infusion workstation, and other infusion workstations, so that the monitoring equipment can monitor and control at least one infusion pump plugged into the infusion workstation and other infusion workstations, realize the interconnection and integrated management between multiple infusion workstations, improve the scalability and flexibility of infusion workstation, and meet different clinical needs.

[0170] This application also provides an embodiment of a control method for an infusion workstation, which aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems of the prior art.

[0171] The control method for this infusion workstation can be applied to embodiments of an infusion workstation, a control method system for an infusion workstation, and a cascaded circuit. Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for an infusion workstation according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 7 As shown, the method includes:

[0172] S701, obtain the number of infusion workstations to be controlled and operated, wherein different infusion tanks in multiple infusion tanks in each infusion workstation are connected in sequence, and at least one infusion pump can be plugged into the infusion tank.

[0173] S702, Based on the number of infusion workstations mentioned above, determine the operation mode of the infusion workstations, wherein the operation modes of the infusion workstations include: single infusion workstation operation mode and multi-infusion workstation operation mode.

[0174] S703, according to the above-mentioned operation mode of the infusion workstation, controls the infusion pump connected to the infusion tank in the above-mentioned infusion workstation to perform the corresponding infusion task.

[0175] In one optional embodiment, if the infusion workstation operates in a multi-infusion workstation mode, the master-slave relationship of the cascaded entities (i.e., infusion workstations) can be defined through the communication interface. This enables cascaded management of multiple infusion tanks and multiple infusion pumps in multiple infusion workstations, and allows for adaptive and intelligent control of infusion workstations of different numbers and types, thereby improving the scalability and flexibility of monitoring and controlling multiple infusion workstations.

[0176] The first controller can be understood as the upper controller in the infusion workstation. The first controller is electrically connected to multiple infusion tanks and establishes the connection between each of the above-mentioned infusion tanks and the above-mentioned monitoring equipment. By setting the first controller, the communication between multiple infusion tanks and monitoring equipment can be realized, as well as the monitoring equipment can control and interconnect the infusion tanks.

[0177] In one optional embodiment, the embodiments of this application can be implemented by voltage grouping, allowing the infusion tanks to be connected sequentially from top to bottom in physical order. In one example, the infusion tanks in the infusion workstation have a connecting function, meaning they can be connected upwards for communication and downwards for expansion; each infusion tank can connect to multiple infusion pumps, for example, the pumps can be in the form of a single pump, a dual-channel pump, a three-channel pump, or a pump with more than one channel.

[0178] In one alternative example, it is not necessary for each infusion tank in the infusion workstation to be connected to an infusion pump. Only one infusion pump needs to be connected to any one infusion tank in the infusion workstation. This pump can be, for example, an infusion pump, syringe pump, nutrition pump, or blood transfusion pump. After the infusion pump is connected to each infusion tank, the infusion tank and the connected infusion pump form a combined tank.

[0179] Optionally, the infusion workstation encodes the infusion pumps sequentially from top to bottom or from bottom to top to achieve sequential management of the infusion pumps. In this embodiment, by inserting multiple infusion pumps into each infusion tank and encoding these multiple infusion pumps, sequential identification and management of the infusion pumps can be achieved, avoiding confusion and errors.

[0180] Through the embodiments of this application, different voltages can also be obtained by resistor voltage division to determine the number of the connected infusion tank, so as to realize the distribution and regulation of the power signal of the infusion tank and ensure the normal operation of the infusion tank.

[0181] Since the different infusion tanks in the multiple infusion tanks of each infusion workstation are connected sequentially, at least one infusion pump can be plugged into each infusion tank. Therefore, the control method of the infusion workstation in this application embodiment can control the infusion pumps connected to the infusion tanks in the infusion workstation to perform infusion tasks according to the infusion workstation's operating mode. Through this application embodiment, adaptive and intelligent control of different numbers and types of infusion workstations can be achieved, improving the stability and efficiency of the system.

Figure 8 As shown, optionally, after the control system of the infusion workstation is initialized, the first controller of the first infusion workstation is started first. Then, it is determined whether there are more than two infusion workstations. If so, the infusion workstation operation mode is determined to be multi-infusion workstation mode. If not, the infusion workstation operation mode is determined to be single-infusion workstation mode.

[0186] Still Figure 8 As shown, if the above-mentioned infusion workstation operates in a single infusion workstation mode, then the above-mentioned infusion workstation is controlled to sequentially connect to multiple infusion tanks and the multiple infusion tanks are coded; and each of the above-mentioned infusion tanks is controlled to connect to multiple infusion pumps and the multiple infusion pumps are coded, thus the infusion preparation is complete.

[0187] In an optional implementation, through the above embodiments, in single infusion workstation mode, the monitoring device can sequentially identify and manage multiple infusion tanks and multiple infusion pumps within a single infusion workstation. Furthermore, it can realize the infusion function of multiple infusion pumps within a single infusion workstation to meet different infusion needs. Therefore, the embodiments of this application can achieve sequential identification and management of multiple infusion tanks and multiple infusion pumps within a single infusion workstation, avoiding confusion and errors, and also improving the reliability of infusion operations by medical personnel.

[0188] In an optional implementation, if the above-mentioned infusion workstation operates in a multi-infusion workstation mode, the method further includes:

[0189] S803, identify the master infusion workstation and slave infusion workstation among multiple infusion workstations;

[0190] S804, first control the main infusion workstation to connect to multiple infusion boxes and encode the multiple infusion boxes; then control the slave infusion workstation to connect to multiple infusion boxes and encode the multiple infusion boxes.

[0191] S805, first control each infusion tank in the main infusion workstation to connect to multiple infusion pumps, and encode the multiple infusion pumps; then control each infusion tank in the sub-infusion workstation to connect to multiple infusion pumps, and encode the multiple infusion pumps.

[0192] Still Figure 8As shown, if the above-mentioned infusion workstation operates in a multi-infusion workstation mode, then the master infusion workstation and slave infusion workstations among the multiple infusion workstations are determined; firstly, the master infusion workstation is controlled to connect to multiple infusion tanks, and the multiple infusion tanks are coded; then, the slave infusion workstation is controlled to connect to multiple infusion tanks, and the multiple infusion tanks are coded; firstly, each infusion tank in the master infusion workstation is controlled to connect to multiple infusion pumps, and the multiple infusion pumps are coded; then, each infusion tank in the slave infusion workstation is controlled to connect to multiple infusion pumps, and the multiple infusion pumps are coded, thus completing the infusion preparation work.
