[0002] At present, ultrasonic scalpel, a medical device that uses ultrasonic principles for surgical cutting, has been widely used in the medical field due to its advantages of being non-invasive and radiation-free.

[0003] Among them, the energy host, as an energy output device, can generate resonant frequency and voltage to transmit to the transducer. The transducer converts the generated energy into mechanical vibration of the ultrasonic device (i.e., ultrasonic knife), thereby completing the tissue cutting of the surgical site. The high-frequency vibration of the ultrasonic device can generate heat in the surgical area, causing the temperature of the tissue in the surgical area to rise rapidly. However, if the temperature rises too quickly, it may be too high in a short period of time, which may cause thermal damage to the tissue in the surgical area. Therefore, how to prevent the temperature from rising too quickly and causing thermal damage is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0049] It should be noted that at present, ultrasonic scalpel, as a medical device that uses the principle of ultrasound for surgical cutting, has been widely used in the medical field due to its advantages such as being non-invasive and radiation-free.

[0050] Among them, the energy host, as an energy output device, can generate resonant frequency and voltage to transmit to the transducer. The transducer converts the generated energy into mechanical vibration of the ultrasonic device (i.e., ultrasonic knife), thereby completing the tissue cutting of the surgical site. The high-frequency vibration of the ultrasonic device can generate heat in the surgical area, causing the temperature of the tissue in the surgical area to rise rapidly. However, if the temperature rises too quickly, it may be too high in a short period of time, which may cause thermal damage to the tissue in the surgical area. Therefore, how to prevent the temperature from rising too quickly and causing thermal damage is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0051] To address the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present embodiment provides a temperature control method for reducing thermal damage. The method is applied to an energy output device in a surgical operating system, wherein the surgical operating system further includes an ultrasonic device, and the energy output device is connected to the ultrasonic device. Since the present embodiment can collect the starting temperature corresponding to the starting moment and the ending temperature corresponding to the ending moment of each sampling period of the ultrasonic device according to each sampling period, and then determine the temperature difference within each sampling period based on each starting temperature and each ending temperature, and determine the temperature change slope of the ultrasonic device at the current operating moment based on each temperature difference, and finally, when the temperature change slope is higher than a preset temperature change slope threshold, reduce the output power transmitted to the ultrasonic device, thereby reducing the current temperature of the ultrasonic device, thereby preventing the temperature from rising too quickly and causing thermal damage.

[0052] For ease of understanding, the following Figures 2 to 4 The temperature control method for reducing thermal damage provided in the embodiments of the present application is specifically introduced.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the temperature control method for reducing thermal damage in this application. The first embodiment of the temperature control method for reducing thermal damage in this application is proposed. Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the method is applied to an energy output device in a surgical operating system, and the surgical operating system also includes an ultrasonic device, and the energy output device is connected to the ultrasonic device.

[0054] It is understood that the surgical operating system in this embodiment may include an energy output device, a transducer, and an ultrasonic device, wherein the energy output device is connected to the ultrasonic device via the transducer. The energy output device can transmit output power to the transducer in the form of a resonant frequency and voltage, and the transducer generates energy and transmits it to the ultrasonic device. Specifically, the energy output device can be any device for outputting the energy required for the operation of the ultrasonic device, such as an energy host, and this embodiment does not limit this. The ultrasonic device can be a device that utilizes ultrasonic signals to operate, such as an ultrasonic scalpel, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0055] The method comprises:

[0056] Step S10: determining a starting temperature corresponding to a starting moment and an ending temperature corresponding to an ending moment of the ultrasonic device within each sampling period.

[0057] It should be understood that the method of this embodiment can be applied in a scenario where the aforementioned energy output device is performing temperature control on an ultrasound device, and of course, it can also be applied in scenarios where other devices are performing temperature control. This embodiment uses the aforementioned energy output device for temperature control to illustrate the scenario. The execution subject of the method of this embodiment can be a temperature control device that reduces thermal damage, has the functions of temperature control, data processing, and program execution, such as the aforementioned energy output device. Of course, it can also be other devices that perform the same or similar functions. This embodiment is not limited to this. This embodiment uses the aforementioned energy output device to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0058] It should be noted that the sampling period may be the period during which the energy output device collects information. The start time may be the time at which sampling begins within the sampling period, and the end time may be the time at which sampling ends within the sampling period. The duration obtained by subtracting the start time from the end time may be the duration corresponding to one sampling period of the energy output device.

[0059] For example, if the starting time is recorded as T1 and the ending time is recorded as T2, the duration corresponding to each sampling period of the energy output device is T2-T1.

[0060] It is understandable that the above-mentioned starting temperature may be the current temperature corresponding to the ultrasonic device at the start moment within the sampling period, and the above-mentioned ending temperature may be the current temperature corresponding to the ultrasonic device at the end moment within the sampling period.

[0061] In actual use, the energy output device transmits energy to the ultrasonic device through a transducer, which in turn generates heat. The user uses this heat to rapidly raise the temperature of tissue within the surgical area, completing the surgical procedure. Simultaneously, the energy output device samples the temperature of the ultrasonic device at a specific sampling interval, obtaining the starting temperature corresponding to the start time of each sampling interval and the ending temperature corresponding to the end time.

[0062] Furthermore, considering that the existing energy output device cannot directly obtain the current temperature of the ultrasonic device, and the current temperature of the ultrasonic device is generally related to the resonant frequency of the energy output device, the present embodiment can determine the current temperature of the ultrasonic device based on the resonant frequency. The specific process is the above-mentioned step S10, including:

[0063] Step S11: obtaining a starting resonant frequency received by the ultrasonic device at the starting moment and an ending resonant frequency received at the ending moment within each sampling period;

[0064] Step S12: determining the starting temperature corresponding to each starting moment according to each starting resonant frequency by using a preset fitting relationship;

[0065] Step S13: determining the end temperature corresponding to each end time according to each end resonant frequency by using the preset fitting relationship.

[0066] It should be understood that the above-mentioned starting resonant frequency may be the resonant frequency output by the energy output device at the starting moment of each sampling period, and the above-mentioned ending resonant frequency may be the resonant frequency output by the energy output device at the ending moment of each sampling period.

[0067] In this embodiment, an output unit may be provided within the energy output device. This output unit may be a unit for outputting a resonant frequency and may be connected to the transducer to transmit the generated resonant frequency to the transducer. The output unit may also collect the output resonant frequency in real time. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the output unit may be used to obtain the starting resonant frequency at the start and ending resonant frequencies at the end of each sampling period, denoting the starting resonant frequency as F1 and the ending resonant frequency as F2.

[0068] It should be emphasized that the specific structure of the output unit is not limited in this embodiment.

[0069] After obtaining the starting resonant frequency F1 at each starting time T1 and the ending resonant frequency F2 at each ending time T2, the starting temperature corresponding to each starting time T1 and the ending temperature corresponding to each ending time T2 can be determined by a preset fitting relationship.

[0070] It should be noted that the above-mentioned preset fitting relationship can be a relationship obtained by fitting different resonant frequencies and the temperatures of the ultrasonic equipment at different resonant frequencies. That is, before actual use, the above-mentioned energy output device can obtain the temperature corresponding to the ultrasonic equipment when outputting different resonant frequencies, and fit each resonant frequency and the corresponding temperature to obtain the above-mentioned preset fitting relationship.

[0071] Furthermore, in actual use, the starting temperature corresponding to the starting time T1 in each sampling period and the ending temperature corresponding to the ending time T2 in each sampling period can be determined by a preset fitting relationship.

[0072] Furthermore, considering that the transducer also generates heat during operation, which causes the collected resonant frequency to shift, thereby affecting subsequent operations, in this embodiment, before the above step S10, the following steps are further included:

[0073] Step S01: When power is detected, a self-test operation is performed and a target impedance point is determined according to the operation;

[0074] It is understandable that the above-mentioned self-test operation can be an operation for the energy output device to perform self-correction, the above-mentioned target impedance point can be the point corresponding to the minimum impedance, and the above-mentioned impedance can be the impedance corresponding to the energy output device, which can be calculated based on the voltage value and current value output by the energy output unit. Specifically, in this embodiment, a frequency sweep unit can be set in the energy output device, and the above-mentioned self-test operation is completed by the frequency sweep unit. That is, during use, when the energy output device is powered on, the frequency sweep unit can set a self-test frequency range, and the output unit can gradually increase the output resonant frequency according to the preset step size within the self-test frequency range, thereby determining the target impedance point. The above-mentioned self-test frequency range and preset step size can be set according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0075] For example, if the self-test frequency range is set to 0 Hz to 2000 Hz and the preset step size is 1 Hz, the energy output device can start from 0 Hz and increase the output resonant frequency in steps of 1 Hz, and obtain the voltage value and current value output by the energy output device to the transducer at each resonant frequency. The corresponding impedance can be obtained based on the voltage value and current value. A curve is drawn according to the impedance at each resonant frequency, and the point with the smallest impedance is determined, which can be used as the target impedance point.

[0076] It should be emphasized that when calculating impedance based on voltage and current values, the calculation can be performed in combination with Ohm's law. Since Ohm's law is an existing technology, the specific process of calculating impedance based on voltage and current values ​​will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0077] Step S02: determining a target resonant frequency based on the target impedance point;

[0078] Step S03: taking the target resonant frequency as a starting sampling point, obtaining a starting resonant frequency received by the ultrasound device at a starting moment and an ending resonant frequency received at an ending moment within each sampling period.

[0079] It should be understood that the target resonant frequency can be the resonant frequency corresponding to the minimum impedance. Once the energy output device has determined the target impedance point, the resonant frequency corresponding to that point can be determined based on the plotted curve and used as the target resonant frequency, denoted as F0. When subsequently determining the starting resonant frequency corresponding to the start and end times of each sampling period, the target resonant frequency F0 is used as the starting sampling point for sampling, minimizing the impact of offset and improving the accuracy of subsequent acquisition results.

[0080] Step S20: determining the temperature difference corresponding to each sampling period according to each starting temperature and each ending temperature;

[0081] Step S30: determining the temperature change slope corresponding to the current operating moment based on each of the temperature differences;

[0082] Step S40: When the temperature change slope is higher than a preset temperature change slope threshold, reducing the output power transmitted to the ultrasonic device to reduce the current temperature of the ultrasonic device.

[0083] It should be noted that the temperature difference may be the temperature difference between the starting temperature at the start time T1 and the ending temperature at the end time T2 within each sampling period. In this embodiment, the starting temperature at the start time T1 within each sampling period may be denoted as t1, and the ending temperature at the end time t2 may be denoted as t2, and the temperature difference corresponding to each sampling period may be denoted as t1-t2.

[0084] It should be emphasized that the temperature and resonant frequency of a typical ultrasonic device are inversely proportional, i.e., higher temperatures correspond to lower resonant frequencies. To ensure the accuracy of the temperature difference, this embodiment determines the sign of the temperature difference based on the changing trend of the resonant frequency within the sampling period. Specifically, when the resonant frequency increases within the sampling period, the sign of the temperature difference is negative, and when the resonant frequency decreases within the sampling period, the sign of the temperature difference is positive.

[0085] It is understood that the temperature change slope may be the slope corresponding to the current temperature change of the ultrasonic device. The preset temperature change slope threshold may be the threshold corresponding to determining whether the temperature of the ultrasonic device is changing too quickly. The specific setting may be determined based on actual conditions and is not limited in this embodiment.

[0086] In actual use, after determining the temperature difference within each sampling period, the energy output device can construct a mathematical relationship between the moment corresponding to each sampling period and the temperature difference within each sampling period based on each temperature difference, and then derive the mathematical relationship to determine the current temperature change slope of the ultrasonic device at the current operating moment, and compare it with the preset temperature change slope threshold; when the temperature change slope at the current operating moment is not higher than the preset temperature change slope threshold, it can be said that the temperature change of the ultrasonic device is slow and the risk of thermal damage is low. The energy output device normally outputs the resonant frequency and voltage to the transducer, that is, normally outputs the output power, and the ultrasonic device operates normally; when the temperature change slope at the current operating moment is higher than the preset temperature change slope threshold, it can be said that the temperature change of the ultrasonic device is fast and the risk of thermal damage is high. The energy output device reduces the output power (for example, reduces the voltage, etc.) at this time, thereby reducing the temperature of the ultrasonic device.

[0087] Since this embodiment can collect the starting temperature corresponding to the starting moment and the ending temperature corresponding to the ending moment of the ultrasonic device in each sampling period according to each sampling period, and then determine the temperature difference in each sampling period based on each starting temperature and each ending temperature, and determine the temperature change slope of the ultrasonic device at the current operating moment based on each temperature difference, finally, when the temperature change slope is higher than the preset temperature change slope threshold, the output power transmitted to the ultrasonic device is reduced, thereby reducing the current temperature of the ultrasonic device, thereby preventing the temperature from rising too quickly and causing thermal damage.

[0088] It should also be emphasized that in order to reduce heat damage, there are several traditional methods:

[0089] Method 1: The method of controlling the intermittent and short-term output power of the energy output device through manual operation;

[0090] Method 2: Cooling the surgical area with saline;

[0091] Method 3: Using a manually operated ultrasound device to use transitional coagulation and "double coagulation" methods, that is, the manually operated ultrasound device briefly contacts the surgical area, then immediately moves away for a period of time, and then briefly contacts the surgical area again, and so on;

[0092] Method 4: A sheath is provided around the support rod of the ultrasonic equipment. The inner and outer surfaces of the sheath are respectively made of high thermal conductivity and heat insulation material layers to absorb excess heat during the vibration of the cutting blade;

[0093] Method 5: Through organizational adaptive technology and intelligent organizational tracking.

[0094] However, among the above methods, methods 1 through 3 require manual operation, increasing the manual operation process and resulting in a poor user experience. Method 4 increases material costs and, due to its disposable nature, requires high usage. Method 5 requires contact with tissue in the surgical area to be effective, and is unavoidable without contact with tissue, resulting in poor safety. Therefore, this embodiment employs the above methods, reducing thermal damage without adding manual operation procedures or incurring additional costs, while also eliminating the need for tissue contact, further improving safety. Furthermore, since no tissue contact is required, the significant heat buildup caused by friction during use in a non-cutting, no-load clamping state is effectively avoided, thereby reducing the risk of thermal damage to the blade and reducing gasket wear.

[0095] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flow chart of a second embodiment of a temperature control method for reducing thermal damage according to the present application. Based on the above-mentioned first embodiment, the second embodiment of a temperature control method for reducing thermal damage according to the present application is proposed.

[0096] In order to ensure that subsequent surgical operations can continue after the current temperature of the ultrasound device is lowered, the temperature is lowered for protection, but the lowered temperature may not meet the needs of surgical operations. The user may manually adjust the temperature and then restore the temperature of the ultrasound device. The manual temperature adjustment operation will make the user feel cumbersome and the surgical efficiency will be low. Therefore, Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, after the step of reducing the output power transmitted to the ultrasonic device when the temperature change slope is higher than the preset temperature change slope threshold, the method further includes:

[0097] Step S50: determining the current temperature of the ultrasonic device according to the starting resonant frequency and the ending resonant frequency in the current sampling period;

[0098] Step S60: determining whether the current temperature is within a preset normal temperature range;

[0099] Step S70: When the current temperature is within the preset normal temperature range, gradually adjusting the output power transmitted to the ultrasound device to a target output power threshold.

[0100] It should be noted that the current sampling period may be the period corresponding to the sampling at the current moment. The current temperature may be the temperature of the ultrasonic device at the current operating moment after cooling. The preset normal temperature range may be the temperature range of the ultrasonic device in a normal state. The preset normal temperature range may be set according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this. The target output power threshold may be a preset power threshold for resuming normal temperature rise, and may also be set according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0101] In actual use, after the energy output device reduces its output power, it can continue to collect real-time resonant frequencies, namely, continue to obtain the starting and ending resonant frequencies within the sampling period, and determine the current temperature of the ultrasonic device at the current moment based on the starting and ending resonant frequencies using the above-mentioned preset fitting relationship. It then determines whether the current temperature has dropped to within the preset normal temperature range. If it has not dropped to within the preset normal temperature range, the energy output device maintains the reduced output power. If it has dropped to within the preset normal temperature range, the energy output device resumes outputting the pre-reduction output power, thereby increasing the temperature of the ultrasonic device.

[0102] However, it should be emphasized that during temperature increase, considering that if the output power is maintained at the same level as before the reduction, the temperature change slope may continue to exceed the preset temperature change slope threshold, this embodiment adopts a gradual temperature increase strategy during temperature increase, that is, gradually increasing the output power according to the preset temperature increase strategy until the output power before the reduction is reached. This not only meets the user's need for temperature increase, but also avoids the situation where the temperature change slope exceeds the preset temperature change slope threshold due to excessive temperature increase, which may lead to oscillation. The above-mentioned preset temperature increase strategy can be set according to actual conditions and is not limited by this embodiment.

[0103] For example, if the energy output device is set with five gears, and the higher the gear, the higher the output power. In actual use, if the energy output device is in gear 5 and the corresponding temperature change slope is higher than the preset temperature change slope threshold, the ultrasound device will reduce the output power, that is, reduce the corresponding gear, for example, to gear 3 for output, and determine in real time whether the current temperature of the ultrasound device has dropped to the preset normal temperature range; if not, continue to maintain gear 3 output; if so, the energy output device will return to gear 5 for output, and can gradually recover according to the above-mentioned preset temperature increase strategy, for example, first use gear 4 for output for a period of time and then return to gear 5 for output, so as to heat up the ultrasound device and ensure the smooth progress of subsequent surgical operations.

[0104] Furthermore, considering that when the surgical operation is about to be completed, there is no need to continue to increase the temperature, so in this embodiment, after the above step S10, the following steps are further included:

[0105] Determining a current impedance of the ultrasound device during each sampling period, and determining an impedance change slope according to each current impedance;

[0106] Accordingly, the above step S60 includes:

[0107] When the impedance change slope is not higher than a preset impedance change slope threshold, it is determined whether the current temperature is within a preset normal temperature range.

[0108] It should be noted that the current impedance may be the real-time impedance of the energy output device during each sampling period. The impedance change slope may be the slope of the current impedance change during each sampling period. The preset impedance change slope threshold may be the impedance slope threshold corresponding to determining whether the surgical procedure is about to be completed.

[0109] It is understandable that when the tissue contacted by the ultrasonic device is about to be clamped off, the slope of the current impedance of the energy output device will increase dramatically. Therefore, this embodiment can use this phenomenon as a basis to determine whether it is about to be clamped off, and thus determine whether the surgical operation is about to be completed.

[0110] In actual use, after the energy output device determines the starting temperature and the ending temperature within each sampling period, the impedance calculation unit set in the host can also collect the voltage value and the current value transmitted to the transducer in real time, and calculate the current impedance within the sampling period based on the voltage value and the current value. Specifically, the starting impedance at the starting time T1 can be obtained, recorded as R1, and the ending impedance at the ending time T2 can be obtained, recorded as R2. Then, based on each starting impedance R1 and each ending impedance R2, the impedance change slope at each moment can be obtained. The specific process can be consistent with the above-mentioned determination of the temperature change slope, and this embodiment will not elaborate on this.

[0111] After obtaining the impedance change slope, the energy output device can first determine the current temperature based on the starting resonant frequency F1 and the ending resonant frequency F2, and first determine whether the impedance change slope is higher than the preset impedance change slope threshold; if the impedance change slope is higher than the preset impedance change slope threshold, it can be said that it is about to be pinched off, so there is no need to increase the temperature subsequently, and the energy output device can directly reduce the output power, so that the ultrasonic device continues to cool down; if the impedance change slope is not higher than the preset impedance change slope threshold, it can be said that it has not been pinched off, and then it is determined whether the temperature has dropped to the preset normal temperature range, and if it has not dropped to the preset normal temperature range, it will be heated up.

[0112] It should be emphasized that when determining the current impedance, sampling can also be performed based on the impedance corresponding to the target impedance point determined in the above embodiment as the starting sampling point, that is, after determining the target impedance point, the impedance corresponding to the target impedance point is used as the target impedance, recorded as R0, and when the current frequency is subsequently determined, the target impedance R0 is used as the starting sampling point for sampling, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent sampling results.

[0113] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flow chart of a third embodiment of a temperature control method for reducing thermal damage according to the present application. Based on the above embodiments, the third embodiment of a temperature control method for reducing thermal damage according to the present application is proposed.

[0114] In order to obtain the above preset fitting relationship, Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, before the above step S10, the following steps are further included:

[0115] Step S001: when the ultrasonic device is in a preset test environment, obtaining a test resonant frequency corresponding to the ultrasonic device at each test temperature;

[0116] Step S002: fitting each of the test temperatures and each of the test resonant frequencies to obtain a preset fitting relationship.

[0117] It should be noted that the aforementioned preset test environment can be an environment for testing the relationship between the temperature of an ultrasonic device and the corresponding resonant frequency. This embodiment uses an oil bath test environment for illustration, i.e., a heating pot is provided, synthetic oil is placed in the heating pot, and the operating portion of the ultrasonic device (e.g., the blade of an ultrasonic scalpel) is placed in the synthetic oil.

[0118] It is understandable that the test temperature may be the temperature used to generate the fitting relationship, and the test resonant frequency may be the resonant frequency used to generate the fitting relationship.

[0119] In actual use, the synthetic oil in the pot can be heated by a heating device, and the current temperature of the ultrasonic equipment can be collected in real time by a temperature acquisition device (such as a thermal imaging gun, etc.) as the above-mentioned test temperature. At the same time, the resonant frequency output at the test temperature is obtained by an energy output device as the above-mentioned test resonant frequency.

[0120] After obtaining the test temperature and the test resonant frequency, since the relationship between temperature and resonant frequency is an arc, the mathematical expression of the parabola can be used for fitting, that is, y=ax 2 +bx+c, where y is the test temperature, x is the test resonant frequency, and a, b, and c are fitting parameters.

[0121] Then, each test temperature and the corresponding test resonant frequency can be substituted into the above expression and fitted using the least squares method. By minimizing the square difference between the predicted value and the actual value, the values ​​of a, b and c can be obtained, thereby obtaining the above preset fitting relationship.

[0122] As another implementation method, when the ultrasonic device is in the above-mentioned preset test environment, an impedance analyzer can also be used instead of the energy output device in this embodiment to output the resonant frequency. The process is consistent with the above and is not described in detail in this embodiment.

[0123] Furthermore, in order to obtain the above-mentioned preset impedance change slope threshold, in this embodiment, before the above-mentioned step S10, the following steps are further included:

[0124] Step S003: when the ultrasonic device is in a preset test environment, obtaining the test impedance corresponding to the ultrasonic device at each test temperature;

[0125] Step S004: determining a preset impedance change slope threshold according to each of the test impedances.

[0126] It should be understood that the aforementioned test impedance may be the impedance used during testing. When the operating portion of the ultrasonic device is immersed in the synthetic oil, the impedance will also change with temperature. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the synthetic oil is heated, the energy output device can also obtain the impedance corresponding to each test temperature in real time as the aforementioned test impedance, and determine the preset impedance change slope threshold based on each test impedance.

[0127] Specifically, after obtaining each test impedance, the slope change at each moment can be determined based on each test impedance. When a sharp increase in impedance occurs in the test impedance, specifically when the slope is higher than a certain slope threshold (the slope threshold can be set according to actual conditions), and the slopes of several consecutive test impedances are higher than the slope threshold, it can be determined that the slope corresponding to the first time it exceeds the slope threshold can be used as the above-mentioned preset impedance change slope threshold.

[0128] It should be emphasized that the number of the above-mentioned consecutive test impedances can be set according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0129] In addition, an embodiment of the present application further proposes a storage medium, on which a temperature control program for reducing thermal damage is stored. When the temperature control program for reducing thermal damage is executed by a processor, the temperature control method for reducing thermal damage as described above is implemented.

[0130] In addition, an embodiment of the present application also proposes a surgical operating system, which includes an ultrasonic device and an energy output device as described above, and the energy output device can be connected to the ultrasonic device, specifically, the energy output device can be connected to the ultrasonic device through a transducer.
