Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of medical device control technology, and in particular, relates to a control method of an electric stapler and an electric stapler. Background Art

[0002] Currently, electric staplers are used to anastomose tissues in laparoscopic surgery. They have the advantages of simple and rapid operation and greatly shortened anastomosis time. They are widely used in general surgery, cardiothoracic, gastrointestinal and other surgical fields. They make anastomosis of deep tissues that are difficult to operate manually easier, anastomose tissues more accurately and reliably, accelerate wound recovery, and reduce the probability of anastomotic fistula.

[0003] When encountering thick tissue that causes the anastomotic power of the electric stapler to decrease, the battery capacity of the electric stapler is generally increased or an electric stapler with a high operating voltage is selected. However, increasing the capacity and raising the operating voltage will cause the battery volume to increase and the weight of the electric stapler to increase, accelerating the doctor's fatigue and increasing the manufacturing cost and anastomosis cost. In long-term anastomotic work, due to the large number of uses, anastomosis cannot be performed when the tissue thickness increases slightly in the later stage of the anastomosis, and the remaining battery power cannot be reasonably utilized, resulting in one electric stapler being insufficient and multiple electric staplers being required, which also increases the cost of the anastomosis work.

[0070] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures, technologies, etc. are provided for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the present application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to prevent unnecessary details from obstructing the description of the present application.

[0071] It should be understood that when used in the present specification and the appended claims, the term "comprising" indicates the presence of described features, wholes, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, elements, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0072] It should also be understood that the term “and / or” used in the specification and appended claims refers to any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0073] In addition, in the description of the present application specification and the appended claims, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0074] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" etc. described in the specification of this application mean that one or more embodiments of the present application include specific features, structures or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment. Therefore, the statements "in one embodiment", "in some embodiments", "in some other embodiments", "in some other embodiments", etc. that appear in different places in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in other ways. The terms "including", "comprising", "having" and their variations all mean "including but not limited to", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in other ways.

[0075] Due to the limited power supply capacity of the battery, when encountering thick tissue during the anastomosis process, the anastomosis power of the electric stapler decreases, causing the driving current required by the motor to increase, which in turn causes the output voltage of the battery to decrease, resulting in the motor being blocked or unable to drive the working part of the electric stapler to work when encountering thick tissue during the anastomosis work. At present, it is generally necessary to increase the battery capacity of the electric stapler or select an electric stapler with a high working voltage, but increasing the capacity and increasing the working voltage will cause the battery volume to increase and the weight of the electric stapler to increase, accelerate the fatigue of the doctor, and increase the manufacturing cost and the cost of the anastomosis work. In addition, in the anastomosis work that takes a long time, due to the large number of uses, when the tissue thickness increases slightly in the later stage of the anastomosis work, the anastomosis cannot be performed, causing the motor to be blocked, and the remaining power of the battery cannot be reasonably used, resulting in one electric stapler being insufficient and requiring multiple electric staplers, which also increases the cost of the anastomosis work. Moreover, when the battery outputs a large current and works for a long time, the output voltage drops, which is an inherent characteristic of the battery itself and cannot be changed.

[0076] In order to solve the above technical problems to a certain extent, Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides an electric stapler, including a working part, a motor 5, a control panel 6, a battery 7, a reset button 8 and an excitation button 9.

The control circuit 10 is connected to the motor drive circuit 20, the motor 5, the sampling circuit 30 and the boost circuit 40. The motor drive circuit 20 is also connected to the motor 5, the sampling circuit 30 and the boost circuit 40 respectively. The sampling circuit 30 is also connected to the boost circuit 40. The control circuit 10 is used to receive a key signal and control the motor 5 to rotate forward or reverse according to the key signal, thereby controlling the working part to work. The key signal includes an excitation key signal. In the present application, the electric stapler includes an electric laparoscopic stapler.

[0077] The embodiment of the present application provides a control method for an electric stapler, which is applied to a control board 6, and includes: based on an excitation key signal, receiving a sampling signal sent by a sampling circuit 30 and a speed Hall signal sent by a motor 5; based on the sampling signal and the speed Hall signal, determining the motor speed of the motor 5, the tissue impedance corresponding to the working part, the driving voltage at both ends of the motor driving circuit 20, and the first duty cycle of the motor control signal; if the motor speed is greater than the preset motor speed, reducing the first duty cycle until the difference between the motor speed and the preset motor speed is less than or equal to the preset speed threshold, so as to reduce the motor speed; if the motor speed is less than the preset motor speed, determining the relationship between the tissue impedance and the impedance threshold, the impedance threshold including the impedance lower limit threshold and the impedance upper limit threshold; if the tissue impedance is less than or equal to the impedance lower limit threshold, based on the first duty cycle and the duty cycle threshold, controlling the motor 5 to automatically reset after stopping working or increase the motor speed; if the tissue impedance is greater than the impedance lower limit threshold and less than or equal to the impedance upper limit threshold, based on the driving voltage and the driving voltage threshold, controlling the motor 5 to automatically reset after stopping working or increase the driving voltage; if the tissue impedance is greater than the impedance upper limit threshold, controlling the motor 5 to automatically reset after stopping working.

[0078] The electric stapler of the present application determines the motor speed, tissue impedance, driving voltage and the first duty cycle of the motor control signal through the sampling signal sent by the sampling circuit and the speed Hall signal sent by the motor; and based on the comparison results of the motor speed and the preset motor speed, the tissue impedance and the impedance threshold, the first duty cycle and the duty cycle threshold, and the driving voltage and the driving voltage threshold, it can adaptively control the motor to automatically reset after stopping working, increase the motor speed or reduce the motor speed according to various tissue thickness conditions, and when the output voltage of the battery of the electric stapler cannot drive the motor to work, it can also increase the battery output voltage through the boost circuit to control the motor to rotate forward or reverse to drive the working part to work, thereby extending the use time of a single electric stapler when encountering thick tissue and long-term anastomosis work, thereby improving the working efficiency of the electric stapler, improving the power utilization efficiency of the battery without increasing the capacity and volume of the battery and reducing the anastomosis work cost.

[0079] The technical solution of the present application is described below through specific embodiments.

[0080] First, as Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a control method for an electric stapler, the control method is applied to a control board 6, and the control method includes:

[0081] S100, based on the excitation key signal, receiving the sampling signal sent by the sampling circuit and the speed Hall signal sent by the motor.

[0082] In one embodiment, S100 is specifically based on the excitation button signal sent by the excitation button, the control circuit receives the sampling signal sent by the sampling circuit and the speed Hall signal sent by the motor, which is used for the motor speed, tissue impedance, driving voltage and the first duty cycle of the motor control signal.

[0083] S200, based on the sampling signal and the speed Hall signal, determine the motor speed of the motor, the tissue impedance corresponding to the working part, the driving voltage at both ends of the motor driving circuit and the first duty cycle of the motor control signal.

[0084] In one embodiment, the sampling signal includes a voltage sampling signal and a current sampling signal, and the speed Hall signal sends a pulse signal when the motor rotates one circle. S200 specifically obtains the motor speed according to the number of pulse signals received within one minute; obtains the motor torque corresponding to the current according to the current of the current sampling signal, and then determines the tissue impedance of the tissue based on the mapping relationship between the force applied to the tissue by the working part of the motor torque and the tissue thickness and the mapping relationship between the tissue thickness and the tissue impedance; determines the driving voltage at both ends of the motor driving circuit according to the voltage of the voltage sampling signal; obtains the first duty cycle according to the ratio of the conduction signal time in the motor control signal to the period of the motor control signal, and the first duty cycle is the duty cycle of the forward control signal.

[0085] In one embodiment, when the motor is working normally, the motor torque T applied to the motor by the working part is L The electromagnetic torque T generated by the motor e Equal, that is, T e = T L . The electromagnetic torque T e The current I flowing through the motor d In a linear proportional relationship, the current I flowing through the motor d is the sampling current, so the motor torque T L With the sampling current I d There is the following relationship, T L =C m ×I d , where C m is the torque coefficient of the DC motor at rated flux.

[0086] In one embodiment, the tissue impedance R tissue With motor torque T L Or tissue impedance R tissue With the sampling current I d The calculation formula of the mapping relationship is:

[0087]

[0088] Among them, R tissueis the tissue impedance of the tissue, k1 is the first impedance coefficient, k2 is the second impedance coefficient, k3 is the third impedance coefficient, C m is the torque coefficient of the DC motor at rated flux, is the first constant, is the second constant, R limit is the upper impedance threshold, R down is the impedance lower limit threshold, ΔR1 is the impedance lower limit range of the tissue when the stapler motor is working, and ΔR2 is the impedance upper limit range of the tissue when the stapler motor is working.

[0089] It should be noted that the first impedance coefficient, the second impedance coefficient, and the third impedance coefficient are coefficients corresponding to the impedance lower limit range value, the impedance middle range value, and the impedance upper limit range value of the tissue, respectively, and are set according to the type of stapler motor and tissue. The impedance lower limit range is the impedance range above the impedance lower limit threshold, and the impedance upper limit range is the impedance range below the impedance upper limit threshold. The impedance lower limit range and the impedance upper limit range are used to control the motor to work within a larger impedance range. Set ΔR1≦40Ω, ΔR2≦900Ω, that is, the motor can work within 40Ω above the impedance lower limit threshold, and the motor can work within 900Ω below the impedance upper limit threshold.

[0090] In one embodiment, if the torque coefficient C m =0.5, R down =10Ω,R limit = 2000 Ω, based on the battery product characteristics and the sampling current I when the motor is working stably d <=4A, tissue impedance R tissue With motor torque T L The calculation formula of the mapping relationship is:

[0091]

[0092] In this working scenario, the motor R down =10Ω, corresponding to the minimum sampling current I d_min =20mA; R limit =2000Ω, corresponding to the maximum sampling current I d_limit =4A.

[0093] It should be noted that in actual work, the motor working current I d_min It cannot be reduced to 20mA. In order to improve the fit between the stapler motor and the tissue, a segmented mapping relationship is used to increase the precision of impedance division and improve the efficiency of the stapler work.

[0097] S300: If the motor speed is greater than the preset motor speed, reduce the first duty cycle until the difference between the motor speed and the preset motor speed is less than or equal to the preset speed threshold, so as to reduce the motor speed.

[0098] In one embodiment, S300 is specifically if the motor speed is greater than the preset motor speed, that is, N real >N ref , N real is the motor speed, N ref The preset speed of the motor indicates that the effective voltage applied to both ends of the motor by the current motor drive circuit is greater than the working voltage corresponding to the preset speed of the motor. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the first duty cycle, that is, reduce the ratio of the conduction time to the motor control signal period, until the difference between the motor speed and the preset speed of the motor is less than or equal to the preset speed threshold, so that the motor speed approaches or is equal to the preset speed of the motor infinitely, so as to reduce the motor speed, avoid excessive battery power consumption, avoid unnecessary battery power consumption, and save battery power. Among them, the preset speed threshold is less than or equal to 10 r / min, so as to improve the accuracy of the difference between the motor speed and the preset speed of the motor, and further save the discharge power of the battery.

[0099] S400, if the motor speed is less than the preset motor speed, determine the relationship between the tissue impedance and the impedance threshold, where the impedance threshold includes an impedance lower threshold and an impedance upper threshold.

[0100] In one embodiment, S300 specifically means that if the motor speed is less than the preset motor speed, that is, Nreal < Nref, where Nreal is the motor speed and Nref is the preset motor speed, it indicates that the motor speed has not reached the preset motor speed. At this time, it is necessary to judge the relationship between the tissue impedance and the impedance threshold to determine the thickness of the tissue, and then adaptively control the motor to perform an action corresponding to the thickness of the tissue according to the thickness of the tissue, improving the working efficiency of the electric stapler and the energy efficiency of the battery power. Among them, the impedance threshold includes a lower impedance threshold and an upper impedance threshold. For example, the lower impedance threshold is less than or equal to 10 Ω, and the upper impedance threshold is greater than or equal to 2000 Ω.

[0101] S500, if the tissue impedance is less than or equal to the lower impedance threshold, based on the first duty cycle and the duty cycle threshold, control the motor to automatically reset or increase the motor speed after stopping.

[0102] In one embodiment, S500 specifically means that if the tissue impedance is less than or equal to the lower impedance threshold, that is, R tissue ≦R down ,R tissue is the tissue impedance, and R down is the lower impedance threshold, indicating that the thickness of the tissue object of the electric stapler is less than the thickness corresponding to R down . Compare the first duty cycle with the duty cycle threshold, and then control the motor to automatically reset or increase the motor speed according to the comparison result of the first duty cycle and the duty cycle threshold, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the battery power and the working efficiency of the electric stapler.

[0103] In one embodiment, the duty cycle threshold includes an upper duty cycle threshold; as Figure 4 shown, S500, if the tissue impedance is less than or equal to the lower impedance threshold, based on the first duty cycle and the duty cycle threshold, control the motor to automatically reset or increase the motor speed after stopping, including:

[0104] S510, if the tissue impedance is less than or equal to the lower impedance threshold, and the first duty cycle is greater than or equal to the upper duty cycle threshold, control the motor to automatically reset after stopping.

[0105] In one embodiment, S510 specifically means that if the tissue impedance is less than or equal to the lower impedance threshold, that is, R tissue ≦R down ,R tissue is the tissue impedance, R down is the lower impedance threshold, and the first duty cycle is greater than or equal to the upper duty cycle threshold. In the case where the motor speed is less than the preset motor speed, and R tissue ≦R downThe first duty cycle is very high, indicating that the battery power is low, which causes the electric stapler to fail to perform anastomosis. Therefore, the control motor stops working and automatically resets, avoiding secondary damage to the patient caused by performing anastomosis when the electric stapler is out of power. Among them, the upper limit threshold of the duty cycle is greater than or equal to 0.9.

[0106] S520, if the tissue impedance is less than or equal to the impedance lower limit threshold, and the first duty cycle is less than the duty cycle upper limit threshold, increase the first duty cycle until the difference between the motor speed and the preset motor speed is less than or equal to the preset speed threshold, so as to increase the motor speed.

[0107] In one embodiment, S520 is specifically if the tissue impedance is less than or equal to the impedance lower limit threshold, that is, R tissue ≦R down , R tissue is tissue impedance, R down is the impedance lower limit threshold, and the first duty cycle is less than the duty cycle upper limit threshold, when the motor speed is less than the preset motor speed, and R tissue ≦R down The first duty cycle is lower than the duty cycle upper limit threshold, indicating that the battery still has power to continue to drive the electric stapler to work, so the first duty cycle is increased to approach the duty cycle upper limit threshold until the difference between the motor speed and the preset motor speed is less than or equal to the preset speed threshold to increase the motor speed, so that the electric stapler can continue to work without replacing a new electric stapler, thereby improving the working efficiency of the electric stapler and reducing the cost of stapler work.

[0108] S600: If the tissue impedance is greater than the impedance lower limit threshold and less than or equal to the impedance upper limit threshold, based on the drive voltage and the drive voltage threshold, the motor is controlled to automatically reset or increase the drive voltage after stopping working.

[0109] In one embodiment, S600 is specifically that if the tissue impedance is greater than the impedance lower limit threshold and less than or equal to the impedance upper limit threshold, when the motor speed is less than the motor preset speed, and R down <R tissue ≦R limit , R tissue is tissue impedance, R down is the impedance lower threshold, R limit is the impedance upper limit threshold, indicating that for the current tissue thickness, the motor speed cannot drive the electric stapler to perform anastomosis, and it is necessary to compare the driving voltage with the driving voltage threshold. According to the comparison result between the driving voltage and the driving voltage threshold, the motor is controlled to automatically reset or increase the driving voltage after stopping working, so as to down <R tissue ≦R limitIn this case, the electric stapler can adapt to the tissue thickness to work, thereby improving the working efficiency of the electric stapler.

[0110] In one embodiment, the driving voltage threshold includes a driving voltage lower limit threshold U min And the upper limit threshold of driving voltage U max ;like Figure 5 As shown, S600, if the tissue impedance is greater than the impedance lower limit threshold and less than or equal to the impedance upper limit threshold, based on the drive voltage and the drive voltage threshold, the motor is controlled to automatically reset or increase the drive voltage after stopping working, including:

[0111] S610: If the tissue impedance is greater than the impedance lower limit threshold and less than or equal to the impedance upper limit threshold, and the driving voltage is greater than the driving voltage lower limit threshold and less than the driving voltage upper limit threshold, the driving voltage is controlled to increase to the driving voltage upper limit threshold.

[0112] In one embodiment, S610 is specifically that if the tissue impedance is greater than the impedance lower limit threshold and less than or equal to the impedance upper limit threshold, the driving voltage is greater than the driving voltage lower limit threshold and less than the driving voltage upper limit threshold, and the motor speed is less than the motor preset speed, and R down <R tissue ≦R limit , U min <U<U max , R tissue is tissue impedance, R down is the impedance lower threshold, R limit is the upper impedance threshold, U is the driving voltage, U min is the lower limit threshold of driving voltage, U max The upper limit threshold of the driving voltage indicates that the battery still has power. The boost circuit is controlled to increase the driving voltage to the upper limit threshold of the driving voltage and then continue to drive the motor to allow the electric stapler to perform tissue stapler work, thereby avoiding the situation where the electric stapler cannot work when there is still power in the battery, improving the utilization efficiency of the battery power, and improving the working efficiency of the electric stapler.

[0113] S620: If the tissue impedance is greater than the impedance lower limit threshold and less than or equal to the impedance upper limit threshold, and the driving voltage is less than or equal to the driving voltage lower limit threshold, the control motor stops working and automatically resets.

[0114] In one embodiment, S610 is specifically: if the tissue impedance is greater than the impedance lower limit threshold and less than or equal to the impedance upper limit threshold, the driving voltage is less than or equal to the driving voltage lower limit threshold, and the motor speed is less than the preset motor speed, and R down <R tissue ≦R limit , U≦U min , R tissueis tissue impedance, R down is the impedance lower threshold, R limit is the upper impedance threshold, U is the driving voltage, U min It is the lower limit threshold of the driving voltage. If the driving voltage is too low, it means that the battery power is too low to drive the motor, so the motor is controlled to stop working and then automatically reset.

[0115] It should be noted that when the voltage of the motor drive circuit is too low, if the control boost circuit boosts the motor drive voltage to the drive voltage upper limit threshold U max , and then drive the motor, which will cause the current in the line between the battery and the boost circuit to be too large, and there is a risk of burning or short circuit. In addition, it is necessary to control the maximum boost duty cycle of the boost circuit to avoid excessive boost duty cycle causing large fluctuations in the driving voltage, affecting the stability of the electric stapler. In order to maintain the working stability of the electric stapler, it is necessary to control the driving voltage of the motor to be greater than or equal to the lower limit threshold of the driving voltage U min .

[0116] In one embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, S610, if the tissue impedance is greater than the impedance lower limit threshold and less than or equal to the impedance upper limit threshold, and the driving voltage is greater than the driving voltage lower limit threshold and less than the driving voltage upper limit threshold, after controlling the driving voltage to increase to the driving voltage upper limit threshold, the steps include:

[0117] S630, if the motor speed is greater than or equal to the preset motor speed, reduce the first duty cycle until the difference between the motor speed and the preset motor speed is less than or equal to the preset speed threshold, so as to reduce the motor speed.

[0118] In one embodiment, S630 specifically includes: down <R tissue ≦R limit , and boost the driving voltage to the upper limit threshold value U max Afterwards, if the motor speed is greater than or equal to the preset motor speed, in order to avoid wasting battery power and save battery power, the first duty cycle is reduced until the difference between the motor speed and the preset motor speed is less than or equal to the preset speed threshold to reduce the motor speed, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the battery power and improving the working efficiency of the electric stapler.

[0119] S640: If the motor speed is less than the preset motor speed, the motor is automatically reset or the motor speed is increased after the motor stops working based on the first duty cycle and the duty cycle threshold.

[0120] In one embodiment, S640 specifically includes: down <R tissue ≦R limit, and boost the driving voltage to the upper limit threshold value U max Afterwards, if the motor speed is still lower than the preset speed of the motor, since the driving voltage has increased but the first duty cycle has not reached the duty cycle upper limit threshold, it is necessary to continue to compare the first duty cycle with the duty cycle threshold, and control the motor to automatically reset or increase the motor speed after stopping working according to the comparison result between the first duty cycle and the duty cycle threshold, thereby improving the working efficiency of the electric stapler.

[0121] In one embodiment, the duty cycle threshold includes a duty cycle upper limit threshold; Figure 7 As shown, S640, if the motor speed is less than the preset motor speed, the motor is automatically reset or the motor speed is increased after stopping based on the first duty cycle and the duty cycle threshold, including:

[0122] S641: If the motor speed is less than the preset motor speed and the first duty cycle is greater than or equal to the duty cycle upper limit threshold, the motor is controlled to stop working and then automatically reset.

[0123] In one embodiment, S641 is specifically down <R tissue ≦R limit , and boost the driving voltage to the upper limit threshold value U max Afterwards, if the motor speed is less than the preset motor speed and the first duty cycle is adjusted to be greater than or equal to the duty cycle upper limit threshold, it means that the battery power is exhausted and the motor can no longer be driven to allow the electric stapler to perform stapler work. At this time, the working range of the electric stapler has been exceeded, so the control motor stops working and then automatically resets, making maximum use of the battery power and improving the utilization efficiency of the battery power.

[0124] S642, if the motor speed is less than the preset motor speed and the first duty cycle is less than the duty cycle upper limit threshold, increase the first duty cycle until the motor speed is greater than or equal to the preset motor speed to increase the motor speed.

[0125] In one embodiment, S641 is specifically down <R tissue ≦R limit , and boost the driving voltage to the upper limit threshold value U max Afterwards, if the motor speed is less than the preset speed of the motor and the first duty cycle is less than the upper limit threshold of the duty cycle, the battery may still have power to drive the motor, so the first duty cycle is increased to approach the upper limit threshold of the duty cycle until the motor speed is greater than or equal to the preset speed of the motor to increase the motor speed. After the motor speed increases, it can continuously drive the electric stapler to perform anastomosis, thereby adapting to the thickness of the tissue for anastomosis and improving the utilization efficiency of the battery.

[0126] S700, if the tissue impedance is greater than the impedance upper limit threshold, the control motor stops working and automatically resets.

[0127] In one embodiment, S700 specifically means that when the motor speed is less than the preset motor speed, if the tissue impedance is greater than the impedance upper limit threshold, it means that the tissue thickness has exceeded the upper limit of the stapler's stapler operation, so the motor is controlled to stop working and then automatically reset.
