Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a delivery system and a medical device control system for use in diagnostic and treatment scenarios. Background Technology

[0002] Before treating a patient, preliminary scans are usually required, such as CT (Computed Tomography) and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). Nowadays, hospitals typically have a variety of different diagnostic and treatment equipment, which are located in different places. Patients who are not familiar with the hospital layout may spend a lot of time looking for the equipment.

[0003] In existing technologies, multiple objects to be inspected are typically moved in and out of the inspection equipment alternately from both ends of the opening. In this way, when there are inspection types with a long preparation phase, the overall efficiency of the inspection process will be reduced.

[0004] Currently, no effective solution has been proposed to address the issue of low inspection efficiency in existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a delivery system and medical device control system applicable to diagnostic and treatment scenarios to address the aforementioned technical problems.

[0006] In the first aspect, this application provides a transmission system for medical scenarios, the transmission system including transmission equipment and track positioning line;

[0007] A track positioning line is used to connect at least one preset treatment room and at least one preset preparation room, wherein the conveying equipment moves along the track positioning line;

[0008] The track positioning line consists of two basic positioning lines. The track positioning line is used to distinguish the direction of movement of the conveying equipment. The first basic positioning line and the second basic positioning line have different morphological parameters.

[0009] In one embodiment, the transmission device further includes an electrical interface and a positioning interface. The electrical interface is located on the front side of the main body of the transmission device and rigidly connects the transmission device to the diagnostic and treatment device. The positioning interfaces are located on the left and right sides of the transmission device, and the height of the positioning interfaces is less than a preset height threshold.

[0010] In one embodiment, preset markers are deployed on the track positioning line:

[0015] The battery box is connected to the drive wheel and is used to provide power to the transmission equipment;

[0016] Driven wheels are used to keep the conveyor equipment moving stably.

[0017] Secondly, this application also provides a medical device control system.

[0021] The dispatch center is also used to control the corresponding transmission equipment based on the preparation signal to transport the patient from the preparation room to the target treatment room; the treatment task of the patient is completed in the target treatment room.

[0022] In one embodiment, the topology of the transmission system includes at least one of the following: ring, branching, star, linear, unidirectional, mesh, and tree.

[0023] In one embodiment, the conveying device includes a same-floor conveying sub-device and a different-floor lifting sub-device.

[0024] In one embodiment, the transmission device is further configured to, after detecting that the patient has completed the current diagnosis and treatment task through the corresponding target diagnosis and treatment device in the diagnosis and treatment device, drive the patient back to the preset target preparation room in the preparation room;

[0025] The conveying device is also used to move the patient to the target treatment room corresponding to the next treatment task after detecting that the patient has a next treatment task and after detecting that the patient has completed preparation in the target preparation room.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1a As shown, a conveying system for medical applications is provided, including a conveying device 120 and a track positioning line 110;

[0037] Track positioning line 110 is used to connect at least one preset treatment room and at least one preset preparation room, wherein the conveying device 120 moves along the track positioning line 110;

[0038] The track positioning line 110 consists of two basic positioning lines. The track positioning line 110 is used to distinguish the direction of movement of the conveying device 120. The first basic positioning line and the second basic positioning line have different morphological parameters.

[0039] Specifically, the conveyor 120 carries the patient and transports them to the corresponding preparation or treatment room. The track positioning line 110 connects the pre-set treatment and preparation rooms. The treatment room contains a treatment device 150 for examining or treating the patient. The preparation room includes at least one preparation area where the patient undergoes pre-examination preparation, where technicians or doctors input each patient's treatment needs into the system and perform positioning and other preparations. The conveyor 120 moves the patient along the track positioning line 110. The track positioning line 110 generally consists of two positioning lines: a first basic positioning line and a second basic positioning line. These two basic positioning lines are distinguished by different morphological parameters, including texture, color, thickness, direction, and shape. For example, the two lines may have different thicknesses, patterns, or colors. Preferably, the right side of the conveyor 120 in its forward direction is located on the thicker track. In this embodiment, the conveying device 120 is an autonomously movable system supporting the function of an examination bed, and includes a power device for driving the examination bed to move along the guide rail. Furthermore, in this application, the conveying device 120 can detach from the track. That is, in some embodiments, in addition to traveling along the track, the conveying device 120 can also detach from the track and travel independently according to actual needs. For example, medical personnel can remotely control the conveying device 120 to move via a control device (such as a remote control handle). When the conveying device 120 returns to traveling along the track, it is necessary to distinguish the direction of movement to avoid safety accidents caused by incorrect movement direction when the conveying device 120 returns to the track. Therefore, through the design of basic positioning lines with different morphological parameters in this embodiment, it can be ensured that the conveying device 120 can distinguish the correct direction of travel when returning to the track. On the one hand, this allows the system in this application to flexibly adapt to different application scenarios; on the other hand, the design of the track positioning line 110 can also improve the stability and motion accuracy during turning.

[0040] In one embodiment, an electrical interface is located on the front side of the main body of the transmission device, which rigidly connects the transmission device to the diagnostic and treatment device; positioning interfaces are located on the left and right sides of the transmission device, and the height of the positioning interfaces is less than a preset height threshold.

[0041] Specifically, the conveying device 120 is equipped with an electrical interface 101. In some preferred embodiments, the electrical interface 101 is generally located at the front end of the conveying device 120, and in practical applications, the electrical interface 101 is generally located about 10cm above the ground. Each treatment device 150 is also equipped with an electrical interface 101. The conveying device 120 communicates through the corresponding electrical interface 101. Based on treatment needs, the treatment device 150 controls the conveying device 120 to move the patient to the position for treatment, which is the platform area corresponding to the treatment device 150. After detecting that the conveying device 120 has entered the platform area, the conveying device 120 is connected to the treatment device 150 through the electrical interface 101. In some preferred embodiments, the electrical interface 101 is a rigid standard connector with a spring on the back applying pressure to extend the connector out of the housing and ensure a tight connection. When the conveying device 120 enters the platform area, the electrical interface 101 is aligned and the connector is pressed firmly. Figure 1b This is a schematic diagram showing the relative positions of the transmission device 120 and the diagnostic device 150 in one embodiment. Figure 1c This is a schematic diagram of the transmission device in one embodiment.

[0042] Furthermore, after detecting that the transmission device 120 and the diagnostic device 150 are connected via the electrical interface 101, the diagnostic device instructs the locking tongue structure 140 in the platform to connect with the positioning interface 102 of the transmission device 120. The locking tongue structure 140 extends to lock the transmission device 120, thereby further ensuring that the examination bed will not cause relative movement between its base and the diagnostic device during operation. In practical applications, the height threshold of the positioning interface is generally different for different diagnostic devices, commonly 875mm, 900mm, etc. The transmission device in this application can flexibly adjust the height of the corresponding positioning interface according to different diagnostic devices. In some preferred embodiments, the diagnostic device communicates with the platform via a wiring connection, thereby realizing the transfer of control. Through this application, the transmission device 120 can be fixed, ensuring that the examination bed will not cause relative movement between its base and the diagnostic device during operation.

[0043] In one embodiment, preset markers are deployed on the track positioning line:

[0044] Preset markers are used to mark the road condition information of the track positioning line. The road condition information includes pause areas, route intersection areas, and route interruption areas.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, preset markers are deployed on the track positioning line. These preset markers can be QR codes or other custom markers to facilitate marking track positioning line condition information, such as pause areas, route intersections, and route interruptions. The transmission equipment can identify the preset markers on the track, thereby autonomously reading the track condition information without human intervention. Furthermore, in more complex road condition scenarios such as route intersections and route interruptions, the deployed preset markers can promptly inform the transmission equipment of the current road condition information, effectively preventing safety accidents such as transmission equipment derailment or collisions between multiple transmission equipment.

[0046] In one embodiment, the morphological parameters of the basic positioning line in the track positioning line are determined by the treatment room or preparation room corresponding to the track positioning line.

[0047] Specifically, the track positioning line connects each treatment room and each preparation room. In this embodiment, the morphological parameters of the basic positioning lines in the track positioning lines corresponding to different preparation rooms and / or different treatment rooms are different. For example, the diameter of the basic positioning line corresponding to treatment room A is not equal to the diameter of the basic positioning line corresponding to treatment room B, etc. This allows the conveying device to autonomously identify its current location information based on the morphological parameters of different basic positioning lines. Furthermore, this application can combine preset marks on the track positioning line with the morphological parameters of different basic positioning lines in the track positioning line to enable the conveying device to independently identify road condition information and its current location, thereby achieving independent transportation of patients awaiting treatment and significantly reducing the probability of safety accidents.

[0048] In one embodiment, the conveying device further includes an inspection bed 210 disposed on the upper side of the conveying device, a power unit, and driven wheels 230 disposed on the front side of the conveying device; wherein, the power unit includes a battery box 222 fixed to the bottom of the conveying device and drive wheels 221 disposed on the left and right sides of the battery box 222.

[0049] Examination bed 210 is used to accommodate patients awaiting diagnosis and treatment;

[0050] The battery box 222 is connected to the drive wheel 221 and is used to provide power to the conveyor equipment;

[0051] Driven wheel 230 is used to maintain the stable movement of the conveyor equipment.

[0052] Specifically, Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of the conveying device in one embodiment, including an examination bed 210, driven wheels 230, a battery box 222, and drive wheels 221, etc., for easy connection with diagnostic and treatment devices. Taking the forward movement of the conveying device as a reference, the electrical interfaces on the conveying device are generally installed on the front side, and the positioning interfaces are generally installed at a lower position. The height of the positioning interfaces is generally determined by the specifications of different diagnostic and treatment devices; common positioning interface heights are generally 900mm, 875mm, etc., to facilitate connection with the locking tongue structure on the platform. The examination bed 210 is installed above the conveying device. The power unit 220 includes drive wheels 221 and a battery box 222, used to provide power to the conveying device. The driven wheels 230 are generally located at the front of the device to maintain stable movement.

[0053] This embodiment also provides a medical device control system, which includes at least two treatment rooms, a preparation room, and a transmission system as described above; wherein, at least one treatment device is provided in the treatment room, at least one preparation device is provided in the preparation room, and the treatment device and the preparation device are communicatively connected.

[0054] Each preparation room is connected to at least one treatment room via a conveyor system, in which the conveyor moves the patient.

[0055] Specifically, the aforementioned medical equipment control system can be a standalone examination system or a system integrated within a hospital. The system includes at least one preparation room, a transport device, and multiple treatment rooms. The preparation room is an independent area with scanning preparation functions. Before undergoing examination, the subject needs to undergo preparation work in the preparation room, such as preparation based on scanning protocol rules and positioning. After preparation, the subject is moved to the corresponding treatment room via the transport device for the corresponding examination operation. The preparation room may include multiple preparation areas, capable of simultaneously accommodating multiple subjects for pre-treatment preparation. The transport device is used to deliver the subject to the corresponding treatment room. The transport device's movement route connects the preparation room and at least one treatment room; the subject moves along this route to the corresponding treatment room via the transport device. Furthermore, the aforementioned treatment room includes at least one diagnostic and treatment device. In this system, multiple different types of diagnostic and treatment devices may be included. The same treatment room may include one or more diagnostic and treatment devices of the same type, or multiple different types of diagnostic and treatment devices. In some embodiments, the diagnostic and treatment device includes, but is not limited to, medical diagnostic equipment, such as B-scanultrasonography (B-mode ultrasound examination), CT (Computed Tomography), or treatment equipment, such as RT (Radiation Therapy), etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0056] In existing diagnostic systems, multiple patients are assigned to one or more diagnostic devices. Patients are typically notified by queuing and numbering to proceed with the examination in sequence. If the preparation phase is time-consuming, patients spend a significant amount of time in the preparation stage, forcing the next patient to wait in line until the current patient completes the scan preparation and scanning process, resulting in low efficiency. In contrast, the diagnostic system described in this application assigns multiple patients to multiple different types and / or multiple types of the same type of diagnostic devices. Different patients can undergo preparation in one or more preparation rooms before being automatically transported to the corresponding diagnostic room for examination. In this system, while the current patient is being examined, the next patient can enter the preparation room to begin preparation. Once the current patient has finished their examination, the next patient can directly enter the diagnostic room for their examination, significantly reducing the required examination time. Furthermore, to improve diagnostic efficiency, this application may include multiple identical diagnostic and treatment devices. When multiple patients require the same device, the system can be flexibly arranged based on device usage. Especially when dealing with a large number of patients, this system can save significant time and effectively improve examination efficiency. Moreover, the preparation room and treatment room are relatively independent, with the transport of patients completed via pre-set transport / transmission equipment. This allows for flexible deployment of the preparation and treatment rooms, better adapting to the application environment.

[0057] In one embodiment, the system includes a dispatch center that is communicatively connected to a preparation room, a treatment room, and a transmission device.

[0058] The dispatch center is used to match the patient with the corresponding target treatment room after receiving a preparation signal from the preparation room that indicates the patient's readiness status.

[0059] The dispatch center is also used to control the corresponding transmission equipment based on the preparation signal to transport the patient from the preparation room to the target treatment room; the treatment task of the patient is completed in the target treatment room.

[0060] Specifically, the dispatch center communicates with all preparation rooms, all treatment rooms, and the transmission equipment. This dispatch center can be any program carrier device, implemented through AI algorithms or data models. It requires the usage status and capabilities of the treatment equipment in the treatment rooms (whether it is performing a treatment task, etc.), the status of the patients to be treated in the preparation rooms and their treatment needs (whether the preparation work for treatment has been completed, the scanning protocol, etc.), the status of the transmission equipment, and the status of the track positioning line (the position information of each patient to be treated in the track positioning line, etc.) as input information. Based on the changes in the status of the equipment and the scanned patients, the dispatch center controls the corresponding transmission equipment to move the patients to the appropriate position and begin to execute the treatment task.

[0061] In one embodiment, the topology of the transmission system includes at least one of the following: ring, branching, star, linear, unidirectional, mesh, and tree.

[0062] Specifically, the topology of the track positioning line in the conveyor system is generally determined by the geographical locations of the preparation room and the treatment room. In one embodiment, when the geographical locations of the preparation room and the treatment room form a ring or are approximately ring-shaped, the topology of the track positioning line is correspondingly ring-shaped, and the other topology diagrams are similar. In another embodiment, considering that the preparation room should be connected to at least one treatment room, the preparation room is generally located at a node of the track positioning line to consider transportation efficiency, while the geographical location of the treatment room is generally located at the end of the bifurcation point in the track positioning line, so the topology of the track positioning line is also bifurcation-shaped. In another embodiment, due to the complex structure of the hospital, there may be no clear structure between the treatment room and the preparation room. In this case, the topology can be approximated as a star shape to connect the preparation room and each treatment room. Figure 3 In one embodiment, the topology of the track positioning line, as shown in the figure, includes one preparation room and three treatment rooms, arranged in a straight line. This embodiment can flexibly adapt to various geographical environments, connecting the preparation room and treatment rooms at a lower cost for subsequent movement of transport equipment.

[0063] In one embodiment, the conveying device includes a same-floor conveying sub-device and a different-floor lifting sub-device.

[0064] Specifically, in practical applications, the treatment room and preparation room may not be on the same floor. In this case, it is necessary to change floors during transportation. The same-floor transport sub-equipment moves between different rooms on the same floor, while the different-floor transport sub-equipment includes a lifting device to move the corresponding transport equipment and complete the floor switch. In other embodiments, when the transport equipment includes tracks or conveyor belts, a lifting device may not be necessary, and floors can be switched directly based on the tracks. This embodiment can flexibly adapt to different application environments and can efficiently and safely complete three-dimensional transport even in multi-story buildings.

[0065] In one embodiment, the transmission device is further configured to, after detecting that the patient has completed the current diagnosis and treatment task through the corresponding target diagnosis and treatment device in the diagnosis and treatment device, drive the patient back to the preset target preparation room in the preparation room;

[0066] The conveying device is also used to move the patient to the target treatment room corresponding to the next treatment task after detecting that the patient has another treatment task and after detecting that the patient has been prepared in the target preparation room.

[0067] Specifically, after a patient enters the examination room, the diagnostic equipment, based on the treatment needs, controls a conveyor system to move the patient to a specific spatial position relative to the equipment, and then begins the treatment task. Once the diagnostic equipment completes the task, the conveyor system transports the patient back to the preparation room, thus completing one treatment session. It should be noted that in this embodiment, if the patient still requires further treatment, preparation for that next step can continue in the preparation room without requiring the patient to repeatedly get on and off the examination bed, thereby improving both equipment utilization and the patient's medical experience. In contrast, existing technologies typically lack the highly flexible conveyor system disclosed in this application, and generally, one examination room corresponds to multiple preparation rooms; therefore, existing diagnostic systems cannot achieve the technical effects described in this application.

[0068] In one embodiment, each treatment room and preparation room includes at least one entrance / exit, through which a conveying device carries patients into and out.

[0069] Specifically, each examination room and preparation room should include at least one entrance / exit for the transport equipment to bring patients into or out of the room. In some embodiments, the transport equipment can enter or leave the examination room or preparation room through the entrance / exit, allowing patients to remain on the transport equipment throughout the process without having to leave it and move on their own. This embodiment further improves the mobility of the transport equipment, and by transporting patients through the entrance / exit without requiring the patients to move independently, it also enhances the comfort of patients and effectively ensures safety during transport.

[0070] In one embodiment, the working state of the clinic includes a busy state and an idle state.

[0071] Specifically, the examination room has two states: busy and idle. When a patient is being examined in the examination room, the examination room is in a busy state. If another patient needs to be examined in the examination room at this time, they need to wait. When there is no patient being examined in the examination room, the examination room is in an idle state. If another patient needs to be examined in the examination room at this time, they can directly enter the examination room for examination.

[0072] This embodiment also provides an embodiment of a medical device control system.

[0073] The aforementioned medical equipment control system includes multiple preparation rooms, multiple treatment rooms, and at least one transmission device corresponding to each preparation room and treatment room. Each preparation room includes at least one preparation device, and each treatment room is equipped with at least one diagnostic or treatment device. The preparation device provides a suitable preparation environment for the patient, and the diagnostic or treatment device is used to perform appropriate examinations on the patient.

[0074] Furthermore, this embodiment also includes a dispatch center, which coordinates the usage of diagnostic and treatment equipment and preparation devices in the treatment rooms and preparation rooms, and formulates appropriate dispatch plans for patients awaiting treatment. Each preparation room includes a preparation signal acquisition module and a preparation signal transmission module, each treatment room includes an examination signal acquisition module and an examination signal transmission module, each transmission device includes a transmission command receiving module and a transmission signal transmission module, and the dispatch center includes a signal receiving module and a command transmission module. The preparation signal acquisition module in the preparation room is used to indicate whether the patient awaiting treatment in the preparation room has completed preparation, and the preparation signal transmission module is used to report the preparation status of the patient awaiting treatment in the preparation room to the dispatch center. In some embodiments, the preparation status of the patient awaiting treatment includes two parts: the patient awaiting treatment performing preparation operations according to the scanning protocol, and whether the status of the carrier device in the transmission device is normal. The examination signal acquisition module in the examination room indicates whether the examination has been completed, while the examination signal transmission module reports the examination status of the patient in the examination room to the dispatch center. This status typically includes two parts: whether the diagnostic equipment in the examination room is operational, and whether the equipment is currently operating. Further, the transmission command receiving module in the aforementioned transmission equipment collects the current position of the equipment and the status of the track, and transmits the collected data to the dispatch center via the transmission signal transmission module. The dispatch center receives the signals through the signal receiving module, formulates appropriate treatment arrangements for the patient based on the received signal information, and then sends the acquired control commands through the command transmission module.

[0075] Specifically, the dispatch center can follow the following control logic: 1. Statistically analyze and record the capability range of different devices; 2. Based on the social security card, medical records, and other information entered by the person to be tested, the dispatch center retrieves the historical diagnosis or required medical procedures from the database corresponding to the person to be tested; 3. Based on the medical procedures required by the person to be tested, the dispatch center selects devices from the available equipment that meet the capability requirements. These available devices are the equipment in the treatment room or preparation room; 4. When multiple devices meet the requirements, the one with the lowest capability or the fewest supported medical procedures is selected; 5. Based on the filtering in condition 4, if multiple devices still have the same capability, the one with the shortest processing time is selected, thereby effectively reducing the time spent on treatment and preparation. In other words, the dispatch center mainly serves to aggregate various signals and send control instructions to technical personnel.

[0076] Furthermore, each diagnostic and treatment device in this embodiment has an electrical interface for communicating with the transmission device. The diagnostic and treatment device uses the electrical interface to control the transmission device according to the diagnostic and treatment needs, and moves the object to be diagnosed and treated to the position where the diagnostic and treatment function is performed, i.e., the position of the platform. First, the diagnostic and treatment device and the transmission device are fixed through the electrical interface, and then the locking tongue structure of the platform is extended to lock the transmission device, thereby ensuring that the relative movement between the base and the diagnostic and treatment device will not be caused when the examination bed is working. Figure 4 One embodiment of the locking tongue structure includes a locking tongue structure 140 and a positioning interface 102. The locking tongue structure 140 is fixedly mounted on the platform. After the electrical interface between the transmission device and the diagnostic device is connected, the locking tongue structure 140 pops out and connects with the positioning interface 102 on the transmission device to lock the transmission device. Figure 5 As shown in one embodiment, each diagnostic and treatment device is also provided with an electrical interface 101. The transmission device communicates through the corresponding electrical interface 101. The diagnostic and treatment device controls the transmission device to move the object to be treated to the position for performing the diagnostic and treatment function based on the electrical interface 101 according to the diagnostic and treatment needs.

[0077] In this application, the conveying device moves along a track positioning line. There are two track positioning lines with different morphological characteristics, such as thickness, pattern, and color. Considering that the vehicle / conveyor equipment can operate detached from the track, it needs to distinguish the direction of travel when returning to the track. Therefore, it can autonomously determine the direction of travel based on the morphological characteristics of the track positioning lines; for example, the right side of the direction of travel can be positioned on the thicker track. Furthermore, the track positioning line in this application connects multiple treatment rooms and preparation rooms, making its route relatively complex. There are often intersections and interruptions in the route. Therefore, markings can be placed on the line, allowing the conveying device to autonomously identify road conditions and avoid safety accidents such as collisions. The pre-set markings on the line also include pause markings, indicating that the conveying device can temporarily stop at this location. This is because the number of devices in the treatment room or preparation room is limited. If there are no available devices in the treatment room or preparation room, the conveying device can carry the patient to wait in the pause area, thereby improving both efficiency and safety.
