[0082] In an optional embodiment, the motor actuator includes a motor and a sensor.

[0083] The sensor is used to collect the position information of the medical robot and send it to the motor control module 4.

[0084] The motor control module 4 is used to receive the position information and drive the motor to move the medical robot.

[0090] The general control module 3 is used to receive the state driving instruction and send it to the state display circuit 51.

[0091] The state display circuit 51 is used to receive the state driving instruction to display the corresponding working state of the medical robot.

[0092] The state collection circuit collects the state information of the medical robot, which is the readable state quantity including the indicator light signal and the alarm signal, and sends it to the general control module.

[0097] The electric control system of the medical robot of the embodiment can control the state acquisition circuit and the state display circuit of the medical robot through the general control module, can acquire the working state of the robot in real time and accurately, and further realizes accurate driving of the robot.

[0098] In an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The general module 5 further includes a power management circuit 53.

[0099] The main station 1 is configured to send a first power management instruction to the general control module 3.

[0100] The general control module 3 is configured to receive the first power management instruction and send it to the power management circuit 53.

[0101] The power management circuit 53 is configured to receive the first power management instruction and drive power supply or power-off of a target module in the medical robot.

[0102] In order to make the power-on and power-off of each power module (i.e. target module) in the robot system controllable, the power management circuit is used to control the on-off of each power module. The general control module receives the first power management instruction sent by the main station and converts the first power management instruction of the main station into a control of the power management circuit.

[0103] For example, the first power management instruction can be a power-on instruction or a power-off instruction. When the general control module receives the power-on instruction sent by the main station for a certain target module, the power-on instruction is sent to the power management circuit to realize power supply of the target module.

[0104] In an optional embodiment, the main station 1 is configured to receive power information and send a second power management instruction to the general control module 3.

[0107] The state acquisition circuit can acquire the power information and feed it back to the general control module. The general control module feeds the power information back to the main station. The main station receives the power information, sends a second power management instruction to the general control module, the general control module receives the second power management instruction and sends it to the power management circuit, and the power management circuit receives the second power management instruction and drives power supply or power-off of a target module in the medical robot.

[0108] For example, the second power management instruction can be a power-on instruction or a power-off instruction. If the power information collected by the state collection circuit indicates that a target module is in a power-on state, when the general control module receives a power-off instruction sent by the host station and directed to the target module, the general control module sends the power-off instruction to the power management circuit to achieve power-off of the target module.

[0109] When the general control module receives a power-on instruction sent by the host station and directed to the target module, since the target module is currently in a power-on state, the general control module does not need to send the power-on instruction to the power management circuit, thereby avoiding repeated power-on operations.

[0110] In an optional embodiment, the host station 1 and the industrial computer 2 are communicatively connected by wired and / or wireless means.

[0111] For example, the host station and the industrial computer transmit and receive data through Ethernet. The host station and the industrial computer communicate through a general network protocol such as Ethernet, which is compatible with more flexible networking forms, has less restrictions on the layout of the electrical control system of the medical robot, and supports various distributed layouts of the medical robot product.

[0112] The host station and the industrial computer can also communicate through Ethernet, which facilitates seamless switching to a wireless solution, supports separate arrangement of different components of the medical robot, and is compatible with remote surgery. For example, the wireless means includes a Wi-Fi (mobile hotspot) mode, and the host station and the industrial computer transmit and receive data through a Wi-Fi communication protocol.

[0113] The host station and the industrial computer can communicate wirelessly through wireless means, so that the medical robot can support remote surgery without any modification to the software and hardware.

[0114] In an optional embodiment, the industrial computer 2 is communicatively connected to the motor control module 4 through an industrial field bus and / or an Ethernet connection.

[0115] The industrial computer includes an Ethernet interface and can be communicatively connected to the motor control unit through an Ethernet connection.

[0116] The industrial field bus includes but is not limited to EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology), CANopen (a high-level communication protocol based on CAN application protocol), and Modbus (a serial communication protocol). The industrial computer and the motor control module communicate at high speed and in real time through the industrial field bus, support a standard motor control protocol to match various types of motor control modules, and send standard motor control instructions (i.e., sub-motion control instructions) to each motor control module. The motor control module executes the instructions to drive the motor to move, thereby achieving motion control of the medical robot.

[0117] According to the requirements of high-speed control and low-speed control, different communication protocols are adopted, and different protocols are isolated in hardware and do not interfere with each other, so that high-speed signals and low-speed signals are separated, and the reliability of the overall network topology of the medical robot system is enhanced.

[0118] In an optional embodiment, the master station 1 includes several types of communication interfaces; the master station 1 receives target processing information through the communication interfaces.

[0119] Since the master station is equipped with various types of communication interfaces, such as USB (Universal Serial Bus), HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), DP (DisplayPort), Ethernet, and RS485 (a standard communication protocol) interfaces, various forms of external operating devices (such as keyboards, mice, remote sensing, master operating hands, and buttons) can be connected through the communication interfaces, so that the electrical system has strong expandability and compatibility, forming a rich and diverse human-machine interaction form. Therefore, the same electrical control system platform can be used for the research and development of various types of medical robot products, greatly saving the research and development resources.

[0120] At the same time, the image data of external devices (such as cameras, medical imaging devices, and endoscopes) can also be collected and processed in real time through the communication interfaces, and the image data can be fused into the human-machine interface to provide a more intuitive human-machine interaction interface.
