Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a high-power four-cavity holmium laser therapeutic machine. Background Art

[0002] Holmium lasers usually use holmium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (NAG) crystals as laser media. When holmium ions are excited by external energy (such as xenon lamps or diode pumps), holmium ions transition from the ground state to the excited state. In the excited state, holmium ions undergo non-radiative transitions and eventually reach a metastable energy level. When holmium ions transition from the metastable energy level back to the ground state, energy is released to form a laser. The wavelength of holmium lasers is 2.1 microns. Lasers of this wavelength have a shallow penetration depth in tissues and are mainly absorbed by water molecules. Therefore, the range of action of holmium lasers in tissues is very precise, and micron-level cutting and vaporization can be achieved. The high energy density and precise control of holmium lasers make them widely used in the medical field, especially in minimally invasive surgeries in the fields of urology, dermatology, ophthalmology, and otolaryngology.

[0003] Medical holmium laser therapy machine is one of the equipment in the field of laser therapy machinery, mainly composed of holmium laser, laser power supply, water circulation cooling system, electrical control system, laser coupling transmission system and machine body. In the actual application of holmium laser therapy machine, an external optical fiber is connected, and then after seeing the stone through cystoscope, ureteroscope or percutaneous nephroscope, it is only necessary to directly contact the optical fiber with the stone surface to stimulate the laser. Holmium laser has excellent lithotripsy ability and can efficiently crush urinary stones of various compositions.

[0004] Nowadays, most holmium laser therapy machines are single-cavity or dual-cavity, that is, they only have one or two laser cavities. Among them, when a single-cavity holmium laser therapy machine is working, on the one hand, the power is small and the frequency is low. On the other hand, once the laser cavity fails, the operation will be interrupted, which seriously affects the doctor's surgical effect. Although the operating frequency and power of the dual-cavity holmium laser therapy machine have been improved, once one of the laser cavities fails, it will still cause the dual cavity to become a single cavity, which will also bring hidden dangers to the surgical process to a certain extent. For this reason, we proposed a high-power four-cavity holmium laser therapy machine to solve the above disadvantages well. Summary of the invention

[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] See also Figure 1 - Fig.11A high-power four-cavity holmium laser therapy machine comprises a machine body 100, an output optical fiber socket 101 and a display screen 102 are arranged on the front of the machine body 100, a laser power supply 200, a holmium laser generator 300 and a water cooling mechanism 400 are arranged inside the machine body 100, wherein the holmium laser generator 300 comprises a shell 301, and a total reflection mirror assembly 302, a Q switch assembly 303, an aperture assembly 304 and an output mirror assembly 305 are arranged on both sides of the inside of the shell 301, and the total reflection mirror assembly 302, the Q switch assembly 303, the aperture assembly 304 and the output mirror assembly 305 on both sides of the inside of the shell 301 are arranged at intervals in a straight line direction; a beam combiner 306 is also arranged inside the shell 301 and near the front end, and two output mirror assemblies 305 are connected to the beam combiner 306 through optical fibers, and the output end of the beam combiner 306 is connected to the output optical fiber socket 101 through optical fibers.

[0037] The holmium laser generator 300 also includes a pump cavity assembly, which is arranged inside the housing 301 and between the Q switch assembly 303 and the aperture assembly 304. The pump cavity assembly includes a base 307, which is fixedly connected to the housing 301. A translation plate 308 that can slide along the front and rear directions of the base 307 is provided above the base 307. Two mounting plates 309 are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the top surface of the translation plate 308. Both mounting plates 309 can slide along the left and right directions of the translation plate 308. Two laser cavities 310 are provided on each mounting plate 309. The function of the laser cavity 310 is that the photons inside it will be continuously reflected under the action of the reflector to form back and forth reflection of light. In this process, the photons continuously interact with the medium to form a stimulated radiation process, so that the number of photons continues to increase, forming light amplification. When the number of photons reaches a certain level, laser begins to form in the laser cavity 310.

[0038] Furthermore, the output end of the Q switch assembly 303 is connected to an optical fiber plug 311, and the input end of the laser cavity 310 is provided with an optical fiber jack 312 adapted to the optical fiber plug 311. That is, the Q switch assembly 303 and the laser cavity 310 are connected by optical fiber.

[0039] Specifically, the left and right sides of the top surface of the base 307 are provided with slide rails 313 distributed along the front-back direction, and the translation plate 308 is slidably matched with the slide rails 313. The interior of the housing 301 is also provided with a linear drive mechanism 314 distributed along the front-back direction, and the output end of the linear drive mechanism 314 is fixedly connected to one side of the translation plate 308. In this embodiment, the linear drive mechanism 314 adopts an electric push rod, and the movable end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the translation plate 308, which is used to push the translation plate 308 to slide forward and backward. When the electric push rod pushes the translation plate 308 to move forward, the laser cavity 310 and the Q switch assembly 303 can be automatically separated.

[0040] Further, guide posts 315 are provided on the bottom surface of each mounting plate 309. Through holes 316 for the guide posts 315 to pass through are formed on the left and right sides of the top surface of the translation plate 308. The through holes 316 are distributed in the left-right direction. Driving grooves are formed on the left and right sides of the top surface of the base 307. The bottom end of the guide post 315 passes through the through hole 316 and extends into the corresponding driving groove 317. The driving groove 317 is in a U shape. The driving groove 317 can be regarded as composed of two vertical grooves and one horizontal groove, and the diameter of the guide post 315 is the same as the inner width of the two vertical grooves.

[0041] In addition, electromagnets 318 are provided on the left and right sides of the top surface of the base 307 and near the front end position. Permanent magnets 319 are fixedly embedded on the opposite surfaces of the two mounting plates 309. The two permanent magnets 319 correspond to the two electromagnets 318 one by one. When the electromagnet 318 is energized, the opposite ends of the electromagnet 318 and the corresponding permanent magnet 319 have the same magnetic poles. A DC power supply 500 is also provided inside the housing 301. A self-locking push-button switch 320 is provided at the front end position of the top surface of the base 307. The DC power supply 500 is electrically connected to the electromagnet 318 through the self-locking push-button switch 320. When the guide post 315 is located at the front end position inside the driving groove 317, the permanent magnet 319 is directly opposite to the corresponding electromagnet 318, and the translation plate 308 abuts against the button of the self-locking push-button switch 320. It is worth mentioning that each time the self-locking push-button switch 320 is touched, the on-off state of the electromagnet 318 can be switched. More specifically, when the guide post 315 is located inside the vertical groove on the side close to the center of the housing 301, the electromagnet 318 is in a de-energized state.

[0042] In the specific application process of this embodiment, in the initial state, the guide post 315 is located inside the vertical groove on the side close to the center of the housing 301, as Figure 2 shown; when it is necessary to switch the laser cavity 310, the linear driving mechanism 314 is first started to push the translation plate 308 forward until the translation plate 308 contacts the self-locking push-button switch 320, and then the translation plate 308 is controlled to retreat to its original position. During this process, when the bottom end of the guide post 315 moves into the horizontal groove of the driving groove 317, at this time the electromagnet 318 is still in a de-energized state, then under the attraction of the permanent magnet 319 and the electromagnet 318, the mounting plate 309 will slide towards the direction close to the corresponding electromagnet 318, that is, the two mounting plates 309 will move away from each other. When the translation plate 308 retreats to its original position again, the guide post 315 will be located inside the vertical groove on the side far from the center of the housing 301, and the translation plate 308 will release the self-locking push-button switch 320, making the electromagnet 318 energized.

[0043] When it is necessary to switch the laser cavity 310 again, the state of the pump cavity assembly at this time is as Figure 3As shown, the linear drive mechanism 314 also needs to push the translation plate 308 forward until the translation plate 308 contacts the self-locking button switch 320, and then control the translation plate to retreat to its original position; in this process, since the electromagnet 318 is energized, the two mounting plates 309 will approach each other under the action of repulsion until the guide column 315 moves to the inside of the vertical slot located on one side close to the center of the housing 301. Therefore, in this embodiment, every time the laser cavity 310 needs to be switched, it is only necessary to use the linear drive mechanism 314 to control the translation plate 308 to slide back and forth.

[0044] It should be noted that, when the bottom end of the guide column 315 is located inside the vertical groove of the driving groove 317 away from the center of the shell 301, the two Q switch components 303 are respectively opposite to the two laser cavities 310 on the two mounting plates 309 located near the center of the shell 301; conversely, when the bottom end of the guide column 315 is located inside the vertical groove close to the center of the shell 301, the two Q switch components 303 are respectively opposite to the two laser cavities 310 on the two mounting plates 309 located away from the center of the shell 301.

[0045] In another embodiment of the present application, a water receiving groove 321 is provided on both the front and rear sides of the top surface of the translation plate 308, a cover plate 322 is provided inside the water receiving groove 321, and the cover plate 322 and the inner bottom surface of the water receiving groove 321 together form a water receiving cavity, and two water receiving pipes 323 are provided on the bottom surface of the translation plate 308, and the two water receiving pipes 323 are respectively connected to the two water receiving cavities, and the two water receiving pipes 323 are respectively connected to the water outlet and water inlet of the water cooling mechanism 400. The water cooling mechanism 400 is a prior art, which includes a water tank, a water pump, a compressor and a condenser, and its function is to cool the water and then return the cooled water to the water receiving cavity, thereby forming a cycle. In addition, it should be supplemented that a strip opening 339 for the water receiving pipe 323 to pass through is provided on the base 307, and the water receiving pipe 323 passes through the strip opening 339 and is connected to the water cooling mechanism 400.

[0046] Furthermore, movable openings 324 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the interior of the mounting plate 309, the bottom surface of the laser cavity 310 has a water inlet and a water outlet, and the top surface of the mounting plate 309 is provided with through holes 325 corresponding to the water inlet and the water outlet of the laser cavity 310, the through holes 325 are communicated with the interior of the movable opening 324, and a movable part 326 is also provided inside the movable opening 324, the movable part 326 is a hollow structure, the movable part 326 and the corresponding water receiving cavity are connected by a hose, and the top surface of the movable part 326 is also provided with a water permeable hole 331 adapted to the through hole 325. Since two laser cavities 310 are arranged on each mounting plate 309, and each laser cavity has a water inlet and a water outlet, the top surface of each mounting plate 309 has four through holes 325, and the four through holes 325 correspond one by one to the water inlets and water outlets of the two laser cavities 310 respectively; secondly, each mounting plate 309 has two movable ports 324, and each movable port 324 has two through holes 325, therefore, the two through holes 325 on one of the movable ports 324 are respectively connected to the water inlets of the two laser cavities 310, and the two through holes 325 on the other movable port 324 are respectively connected to the water outlets of the two laser cavities 310.

[0047] It should be noted that each movable port 324 has a movable portion 326, and the two movable portions 326 on the same mounting plate 309 are respectively connected to the two water receiving cavities on the translation plate 308. Therefore, one of the two movable portions 326 on the same mounting plate 309 is used to supply water to the inside of the laser cavity 310, and the other is used to discharge the water in the laser cavity 310. In summary, after the water cooling mechanism 400 inputs cold water into the corresponding water receiving cavity, the cooling water enters the corresponding laser cavity 310 through the movable portion 326, and the water flowing through the laser cavity 310 returns to the water cooling mechanism 400 through the movable portion 326 and the water receiving cavity, thereby forming a water cooling cycle for cooling the laser cavity 310.

[0048] Specifically, a fixed block 338 is provided in the middle of the top surface of the translation plate 308, and the movable portion 326 and the fixed block 338 are connected via a connecting rod 327. Specifically, when the bottom end of the guide column 315 is located inside the vertical slot away from the center of the housing 301, the two movable portions 326 located in the same mounting plate 309 are both connected to the laser cavity 310 near the center of the housing 301; conversely, when the bottom end of the guide column 315 is located inside the vertical slot near the center of the housing 301, the two movable portions 326 located in the same mounting plate 309 are both connected to the laser cavity 310 far from the center of the housing 301.

[0049] Furthermore, a slider 328 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 327 extending into the movable opening 324, and the slider 328 and the movable part 326 slide in cooperation in the vertical direction. Sliding posts 329 are provided at both ends of the outer front and rear sides of the movable part 326, and guiding grooves 330 are provided at both the inner front and rear side walls of the movable opening 324. The middle section of the guiding grooves 330 is distributed in the horizontal direction, and the two ends of the guiding grooves 330 are distributed in an upward tilt. It is worth mentioning that when the movable part 326 slides left and right inside the movable opening 324, the sliding post 329 is always located in the guiding groove 330, and because the two ends of the guiding groove 330 are tilted upward, specifically in this embodiment, when the sliding posts 329 are respectively located at the two ends of the guiding groove 330, the water-permeable holes 331 on the top surface of the movable part 326 are respectively aligned with the corresponding two through holes 325. Therefore, specifically during the left and right translation of the movable part 326, the movable part 326 does not fit with the inner top surface of the movable port 324, which serves to reduce the friction force of the movable part 326 during translation; in addition, since the two ends of the guide groove 330 are inclined upward, when the sliding column 329 slides obliquely upward along the two ends of the guide groove 330, the top surface of the movable part 326 can be tightly abutted against the inner top surface of the movable port 324, thereby improving the sealing performance and preventing cooling water from leaking from the movable part 326 into the movable port 324.

[0050] Furthermore, a hollow cavity 332 is formed through the top wall of the movable portion 326, and a shielding stainless steel sheet 333 is slidably connected to the inside of the hollow cavity 332, and a circular hole 334 is formed on the shielding stainless steel sheet 333. A spring 335 and an electromagnetic block 336 are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the hollow cavity 332, and the two ends of the spring 335 are respectively connected to the inner end of the hollow cavity 332 and the shielding stainless steel sheet 333. When the electromagnetic block 336 is powered off, the circular hole 334 and the water-permeable hole 331 are staggered. When the electromagnetic block 336 is powered on, the circular hole 334 is opposite to the water-permeable hole 331. The electromagnetic block 336 is electrically connected to the DC power supply 500, and micro switches 337 connected to the corresponding electromagnetic blocks 336 are provided at the two ends of the driving slot 317. When the guide column 315 is located at the two ends of the driving slot 317, the corresponding electromagnetic blocks 336 are all powered on. Therefore, the water hole 331 is in an open state only when the guide column 315 is located at the two end positions of the driving groove 317. When the guide column 315 is located at other positions, the water hole 331 is in a closed state. The purpose is to prevent the cooling water from leaking from the movable part 326 to the outside during the movement of the movable part 326.

[0051] It is worth mentioning that the micro switch 337 is in the disconnected state in the natural state, and is in the closed state only when an external force is applied; the two micro switches 337 located in the same driving slot 317 are arranged in parallel, and the two electromagnetic blocks 336 located in the same mounting plate 309 are arranged in series with the DC power supply 500. Therefore, as long as one of the two micro switches 337 is in the closed state, the two electromagnetic blocks 336 are both in the energized state; when the guide column 315 is located at the two end positions of the driving slot 317, the electromagnetic blocks 336 are both in the energized state, and the water permeable holes 331 are both in the open state.

[0052] In summary, in the initial state of this embodiment, the pump chamber components are as follows Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the guide column 315 is located in the vertical slot near the center of the housing 301, and the electromagnet 318 is in the off state, while the guide column 315 is in contact with the micro switch 337 at the inner end of the driving slot 317, so the electromagnetic block 336 is in the on state, and the water-permeable hole 331 is in the open state, so that the cooling water in the water-cooling mechanism 400 can smoothly enter the laser cavity 310 located near the middle position of the housing 301, thereby dissipating heat and cooling the corresponding laser cavity 310. In addition, at this time, the two laser cavities 310 located near the middle position of the housing 301 are in the working state, and the two laser cavities 310 are respectively connected to the corresponding Q switch components 303.

[0053] When a laser cavity 310 in working state fails, the linear drive mechanism 314 needs to push the translation plate 308 forward until the translation plate 308 contacts the self-locking button switch 320, and then the linear drive mechanism 314 controls the translation plate 308 to retreat to the original position. In this process, when the guide column 315 moves into the transverse groove of the driving groove 317 (at this time, the translation plate 308 just contacts the self-locking button switch 320), under the attraction of the permanent magnet 319 and the electromagnet 318, the two mounting plates 309 both move toward the side away from the center of the housing 301. At this time, the two laser cavities 310 located near the center of the housing 301 will face the corresponding Q switch assembly 303; finally, as the translation plate 308 gradually retreats, the optical fiber plug 311 will also be plugged into the optical fiber jack 312 on the laser cavity 310, thereby realizing the switching of the laser cavity 310.

[0054] In this embodiment, the four laser cavities 310 can be repeatedly switched through only one linear drive mechanism 314 . The design principle is simple and the operation is convenient, which helps to quickly switch the laser cavity 310 and shorten the interruption time of the operation.

[0055] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
