[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 6 , Figures 1 to 6A specific embodiment of the current control circuit of the present invention is shown. The current control circuit can be applied to a focused transcranial electrical stimulation device and the like, and is used to control and adjust the current input to the device according to actual needs. In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, the current control circuit includes a control unit 10, a fundamental wave processing unit 20, and a constant current output unit 30, wherein the control unit 10 is used to generate a polarity wave and multiple amplitude setting signals according to an external current setting signal; the fundamental wave processing unit 20 includes a multi-channel amplitude setting circuit 21, and the multi-channel amplitude setting circuit 21 is connected to the control unit 10, and is used to perform amplitude modulation processing on the polarity wave according to multiple amplitude setting signals, respectively, to obtain multiple independent polarity amplitude modulation waves; the constant current output unit 30 includes multiple operational amplifier constant current output circuits 31 respectively connected to multiple electrodes 200 of the focused transcranial electrical stimulation device, and the multiple operational amplifier constant current output circuits 31 are also connected to the external power supply and the multi-channel amplitude setting circuit 21, and are used to control the current output to the corresponding electrode 200 according to the voltage amplitude of multiple polarity amplitude modulation waves and the corresponding current setting resistor in the operational amplifier constant current output circuit 31. Preferably, the control unit 10 can be implemented by a microprocessor; in this embodiment, the number of electrodes 200 to be powered is four, then the amplitude setting signal is four, and the multi-channel amplitude setting circuit 21 can correspondingly be a four-channel amplitude setting circuit, and the operational amplifier constant current output circuit 31 can correspondingly be set to four. It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the number of the above circuits can also be adjusted according to the number of electrodes 200 to be powered.

[0039] In this embodiment, the polarity wave generated by the control unit 10 is a unipolar wave, and the fundamental wave processing unit 20 may also include a polarity conversion circuit 23, which is connected to the control unit 10 and the multi-channel amplitude setting circuit 21, and is used to convert the unipolar wave into a bipolar wave. The multi-channel amplitude setting circuit 21 is used to perform amplitude modulation processing on the bipolar wave according to multiple amplitude setting signals respectively to obtain multiple independent bipolar amplitude modulated waves. The DAC in the microprocessor can generate a unipolar wave, and the waveform can be in any style. The polarity conversion circuit 23 may include an operational amplifier, and the conversion of the unipolar wave and the bipolar wave is realized by the operational amplifier.

[0040] Continue to refer to Figure 2In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, the multi-channel amplitude setting circuit 21 includes a four-channel digital potentiometer U1 and four voltage followers (U2A, U2B, U2C, U2D). The model of the four-channel digital potentiometer U1 can be AD5263BRUZ20, and its input end is connected to the control unit 10, for receiving four amplitude setting signals and polarity waves from the control unit 10, and performing amplitude modulation processing on the polarity waves according to the four amplitude setting signals respectively, so as to obtain four polarity amplitude modulation waves with the same or different voltage amplitudes; the input ends of the four voltage followers (U2A, U2B, U2C, U2D) are respectively connected to the multiple output ends of the four-channel digital potentiometer U1, so as to obtain four independent polarity amplitude modulation waves.

[0041] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the fundamental wave processing unit 20 also includes a fundamental wave polling sampling circuit 22, and the fundamental wave polling sampling circuit 22 is connected to the output end of the multi-channel amplitude setting circuit 21 and the control unit 10, and is used to collect the polarity amplitude modulation wave of the positive half cycle of each polarity amplitude modulation wave and feed it back to the control unit 10, so that the control unit 10 adjusts the output of the corresponding channel in the multi-channel amplitude setting circuit 21 according to the voltage amplitude of the fed back positive half cycle polarity amplitude modulation wave, so that the voltage amplitude of each output polarity amplitude modulation wave is more accurate.

[0042] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, the fundamental wave polling sampling circuit 22 includes a first single-pole four-throw analog switch U3, a first comparator U4 and a first single-pole double-throw analog switch U5, wherein the multiple input ends of the first single-pole four-throw analog switch U3 are respectively connected to the four output ends of the multi-channel amplitude setting circuit 21, so as to realize the sampling of four polarity amplitude modulated waves in turn; the input end of the first comparator U4 is connected to the output end of the first single-pole four-throw analog switch U3, so as to determine whether the polarity amplitude modulated wave is in the positive half cycle; the first single-pole double-throw analog switch U5 is connected between the output end of the first comparator U4 and the control unit 10, so as to be turned on when the polarity amplitude modulated wave is in the positive half cycle to feed back the polarity amplitude modulated wave of the positive half cycle to the control unit 10. Based on the above design, the first comparator U4 compares the bipolar amplitude modulated wave with 0V, and controls the first single-pole double-throw analog switch U5 according to the comparison result, that is, when the bipolar amplitude modulated wave is in the negative half cycle, the first single-pole double-throw analog switch U5 is disconnected, and the microprocessor sampling value is 0; when the bipolar amplitude modulated wave is in the positive half cycle, the first single-pole double-throw analog switch U5 transmits the bipolar amplitude modulated wave of the positive half cycle to the microprocessor for sampling, thereby achieving the purpose of eliminating the negative half cycle of the bipolar amplitude modulated wave.

[0043] Preferably, if Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4The specific circuit structure diagram of one of the operational amplifier constant current output circuits 31 is shown in the figure. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the operational amplifier constant current output circuit 31 is a dual operational amplifier constant current output circuit, including a first operational amplifier U22 and a second operational amplifier U21, and the current setting resistor Rseti1 is connected between the output end of the first operational amplifier U22 and the in-phase input end of the second operational amplifier U21. In this embodiment, the resistance value of the current setting resistor Rseti1 is 1kΩ, and the output current is set to the ratio of the voltage amplitude of the polarity amplitude modulation wave to the current setting resistor Rseti1 of 1kΩ, that is, the output current can be adjusted by adjusting the amplitude of the polarity amplitude modulation wave, and the output current value is not affected by the size of the load impedance connected to the operational amplifier constant current output circuit 31.

[0044] In some embodiments, the current control circuit also includes a sampling monitoring unit 40, which is connected to the output end of the four operational amplifier constant current output circuits 31 and the control unit 10, and is used to collect the output voltage output to the corresponding electrode 200 in each operational amplifier constant current output circuit 31, and feed it back to the control unit 10, so that the control unit 10 obtains the load impedance connected to the corresponding operational amplifier constant current output circuit 31 according to the four output voltages and the output current output to the electrode 200 by the four operational amplifier constant current output circuits 31, thereby realizing connection monitoring. Understandably, the output voltage value is the product of the output current and the load impedance, and the load impedance size can be known by the collected output voltage and the output current of the operational amplifier constant current output circuit 31. Based on the above design, the current control circuit can monitor the load impedance of each channel in real time through the sampling monitoring unit 40 during the entire output process, and realize real-time monitoring of the connection quality of each channel. For example, if the load impedance is infinite, it means that the channel connection is disconnected.

[0045] Specifically, Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the sampling monitoring unit 40 includes an output polling sampling circuit 41, and the output polling sampling circuit 41 includes four isolated operational amplifiers (U32A, U32B, U32C, U32D), a second single-pole four-throw analog switch U23, a second comparator U10 and a second single-pole double-throw analog switch U33, wherein each of the operational amplifier constant current output circuits 31 is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the isolated operational amplifier through a resistor voltage divider circuit 311, and the inverting input terminal of the isolated operational amplifier is connected to its output terminal; in this embodiment, the resistor voltage divider circuit 311 is used for voltage division, and a voltage follower is formed with the isolated operational amplifier (U32A, U32B, U32C, U32D) to isolate the previous stage circuit, and -30V~+3 The output voltage amplitude of 0V is reduced by 10 times to -3V~+3V to meet the ADC sampling voltage range of the control unit 10; the four input ends of the second single-pole four-throw analog switch U23 are respectively connected to the output ends of the four isolated operational amplifiers (U32A, U32B, U32C, U32D) to realize the alternating conduction sampling of the four output voltage signals; the input end of the second comparator U10 is connected to the output end of the second single-pole four-throw analog switch U23 to determine whether the output voltage is greater than 0; the second single-pole double-throw analog switch U33 is connected between the output end of the second comparator U10 and the control unit 10, and is used to be turned on when the output voltage is greater than 0 to feed the output voltage back to the control unit 10.

[0046] Furthermore, in order to avoid inaccurate sampling values ​​or failure to sample the control unit 10 due to a voltage amplitude that is too small, the output polling sampling circuit 41 also includes a third single-pole double-throw analog switch U6 and an output operational amplifier U25A, wherein the third single-pole double-throw analog switch U6 is connected to the second comparator U10 and the second single-pole four-throw analog switch U23, and the output end of the third single-pole double-throw analog switch U6 is connected to the output operational amplifier U25A, which is used to be turned on when the output voltage is less than a preset voltage threshold; the non-inverting input end of the output operational amplifier U25A is connected to the output end of the third single-pole double-throw analog switch U6, and the inverting input end thereof is connected to the sixtieth resistor R60 and one end of the fifty-seventh resistor R57, and the output end thereof is connected to the other end of the fifty-seventh resistor R57 and the control unit 10, and the other end of the sixtieth resistor R60 is grounded. In this embodiment, when the output voltage is less than 0.3V, the third single-pole double-throw analog switch U6 is turned on to amplify the output voltage through the output operational amplifier U25A, for example, by 10 times, and then provide it to the control unit 10 for sampling after returning to its original size.

[0047] The present invention can also provide a focused transcranial electrical stimulation device, comprising an electrode cap and the current control circuit described in the above embodiment, wherein four electrodes 200 and one common electrode are distributed on the electrode cap, and the four electrodes 200 are placed around the common electrode as the center, and the four operational amplifier constant current output circuits 31 of the current control circuit are respectively connected to the four electrodes 200, and the common electrode is connected to the common ground reference terminal GND of the device. Then, the current peak value of the common electrode is the sum of the output currents of the four operational amplifier constant current output circuits 31, and the current direction is opposite to the output current direction of the operational amplifier constant current output circuit 31.

[0048] Furthermore, the focused transcranial electrical stimulation device may also include a human-machine interaction unit, which includes a display module and a keyboard module, and both the display module and the keyboard module are connected to the control unit 10. The display module may be an LCD display screen, which may be connected to the control unit 10 via an FPC cable to display the device operating status and output parameters in real time, such as displaying the treatment mode, the output current of each channel, the load impedance of each channel, etc.; the keyboard module includes up, down, left, right and confirmation keys, which are also connected to the control unit 10, and different treatment modes can be selected and different treatment parameters can be set as needed.

[0049] It can be understood that when the focused transcranial electrical stimulation device of this embodiment is used, the power is turned on, and the medical staff or the user can select the treatment parameters by themselves through the buttons in the keyboard module, select the set current size, generate an external current setting signal, and the current control circuit works. The microprocessor generates a unipolar wave and four amplitude setting signals according to the external current setting signal, and the polarity conversion circuit 23 converts the unipolar wave into a bipolar wave. After passing through the multi-channel amplitude setting circuit 21, one bipolar wave is divided into four bipolar amplitude modulated waves, and the period remains unchanged. The amplitudes of the four bipolar amplitude modulated waves are set respectively according to the four amplitude setting signals. The four bipolar amplitude modulated waves will be successively removed by the fundamental wave polling sampling circuit 22 after the negative half cycle is removed and then transmitted to the ADC of the microprocessor for sampling. The microprocessor samples the multiple channels in the multi-channel amplitude setting circuit 21 according to the sampled values. The amplitude of the four-way bipolar amplitude modulated wave output by the channel digital potentiometer U1 is fine-tuned to make the amplitude of the four-way bipolar amplitude modulated wave output more accurate. At the same time, the four-way bipolar amplitude modulated wave is also transmitted to the four operational amplifier constant current output circuits 31 respectively. The output current value is the ratio of the amplitude of the bipolar amplitude modulated wave to the current setting resistor Rseti1 of 1kΩ, which is transmitted to the four electrodes 200 of the electrode cap respectively for stimulation treatment. In addition, the output voltage of the four operational amplifier constant current output circuits 31 can be sampled by the output polling sampling circuit 41, and the load impedance of each channel connection can be obtained by combining its output current, so as to monitor the connection quality of each electrode 200 in real time, to avoid the situation where one or several channel electrodes 200 have fallen off but it is unknown, thereby causing ineffective treatment, and reminders can be displayed on the LCD screen.
