[0036] In this embodiment, a surgical robot communication device is provided. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the surgical robot communication device of this embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the surgical robot includes an operating trolley 10 and an image processing trolley 20, and a first transmission link is set between the operating trolley 10 and the image processing trolley 20;

[0037] The surgical trolley 10 includes a first photoelectric conversion circuit 11 and a first connector 12; the first photoelectric conversion circuit 11 is used to obtain electrical signals of different types of transmission interfaces and convert the electrical signals of different types of transmission interfaces into optical signals; the first connector 12 is used to transmit the optical signal to the image processing trolley 20 through the first transmission link;

[0038] The image processing trolley 20 includes a second photoelectric conversion circuit 21 and a second connector 22; the second photoelectric conversion circuit 21 is used to obtain electrical signals of different types of transmission interfaces and convert the electrical signals of different types of transmission interfaces into optical signals; the second connector 22 is used to transmit the optical signal to the operating trolley 10 through the first transmission link.

[0039] Specifically, the operating trolley 10 refers to a device used to perform surgery on a patient. During the surgery, the patient can lie on the operating table, and the doctor performs relevant surgery on the patient through the operating trolley 10. The image processing trolley 20 is used to obtain images during the surgery and process them. It generally displays the relevant images collected by the operating trolley 10 and transmits relevant control signals to the operating trolley 10.

[0040] Among them, only one first transmission link is set between the operating trolley 10 and the image processing trolley 20, thereby simplifying the number of cables transmitted between the operating trolley 10 and the image processing trolley 20. The first photoelectric conversion circuit 11 and the second photoelectric conversion circuit can use the same photoelectric conversion circuit, the difference between the two is that the first photoelectric conversion circuit 11 is set in the operating trolley 10, and the second photoelectric conversion circuit 21 is set in the image processing trolley 20; the first connector 12 and the second connector 22 can use the same connector, the difference between the two is that the first connector 12 is set in the operating trolley 10, and the second connector 22 is set in the image processing trolley 20.

[0041] Among them, the photoelectric conversion circuits all convert electrical signals of different types of transmission interfaces into optical signals, and then use the corresponding connectors to complete the interactive transmission of the optical signals through the first transmission link between the operating trolley 10 and the image processing trolley 20. In other words, the first photoelectric conversion circuit 11 and the first connector 12 are used to convert electrical signals into optical signals and integrate them into the first transmission link for transmission, and the second photoelectric conversion circuit 21 and the second connector 22 are used to convert electrical signals into optical signals and integrate them into the first transmission link for transmission, so as to realize data transmission using one transmission link, reduce the difficulty of connection operation between trolleys, and reduce resource waste; and the first transmission link transmits optical signals, which can reduce communication delay.

[0042] The photoelectric conversion circuit and the connector may be in the form of electronic components, chips and peripheral circuits, etc., and there is no limitation on this.

[0043] Through the above-mentioned surgical robot communication equipment, the first photoelectric conversion circuit 11 and the first connector 12 are used to convert electrical signals of different types of transmission interfaces into optical signals, and are integrated into the first transmission link for transmission; and the second photoelectric conversion circuit 21 and the second connector 22 are used to convert electrical signals of different types of transmission interfaces into optical signals, and are integrated into the first transmission link for transmission; the user only needs to connect the photoelectric conversion circuit with the corresponding connector to use a first transmission link to realize data interaction between the operating trolley 10 and the image processing trolley 20, thereby reducing the difficulty of connection operation between the trolleys and reducing resource waste; and the first transmission link transmits optical signals, which can reduce communication delays; thereby solving the problem in the related art that there are many cables and connectors, which makes connection operation between trolleys difficult and causes resource waste.

[0044] The following is a detailed description of each of the above components:

[0045] In some of the embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the surgical robot communication device also includes at least one doctor control trolley 30 and a corresponding second transmission link;

[0046] The image processing trolley 20 further includes a third photoelectric conversion circuit 23 and a third connector 24;

[0047] The third photoelectric conversion circuit 23 is connected to the second transmission link through the third connector 24, and is used to obtain electrical signals of different types of transmission interfaces and convert the electrical signals of different types of transmission interfaces into optical signals;

[0048] The third connector 24 is used to transmit the optical signal to the doctor control cart 30 through the second transmission link.

[0049] In actual applications, in addition to the operating trolley 10 and the image processing trolley 20, in order to meet the needs of use, at least one doctor control trolley 30 is generally set up. The doctor control trolley 30 and the image processing trolley 20 transmit optical signals through the second transmission link. A third photoelectric conversion circuit 23 and a third connector 24 are set on the image processing trolley 20. The third photoelectric conversion circuit 23 is used to convert electrical signals of different types of transmission interfaces into optical signals, and then the optical signals are transmitted to the doctor control trolley 30 through the third connector 24 and the second transmission link. Among them, the third photoelectric conversion circuit 23 can adopt the same photoelectric conversion circuit as the first photoelectric conversion circuit 11, and the third connector 24 can adopt the same connector as the first connector 12, which will not be elaborated.

[0050] In this embodiment, the third photoelectric conversion circuit 23 and the third connector 24 are used to convert electrical signals of different types of transmission interfaces into optical signals, and are integrated into the second transmission link to transmit them to the doctor control trolley 30, thereby simplifying the connection operation between the doctor control trolley 30 and the image processing trolley 20 and reducing resource waste.

[0051] In other embodiments, there may be multiple doctor control carts 30. Some of the doctor control carts 30 may be remotely set; if remotely set, the doctor control cart 30 may be connected to the image processing cart 20 via a wireless transmission module, thereby facilitating multiple people to remotely participate in the relevant surgery.

[0052] In some of the embodiments, the doctor control cart 30 includes a fourth photoelectric conversion circuit 31 and a fourth connector 32;

[0053] The fourth photoelectric conversion circuit 31 is connected to the second transmission link through the fourth connector 32, and is used to obtain electrical signals of different types of transmission interfaces and convert the electrical signals of different types of transmission interfaces into optical signals;

[0054] The fourth connector 32 is used to transmit the optical signal to the image processing vehicle 20 via the second transmission link.

[0055] Specifically, the doctor controls the console cart 30 to be provided with a fourth photoelectric conversion circuit 31 and a fourth connector 32. The fourth photoelectric conversion circuit 31 can be the same photoelectric conversion circuit as the first photoelectric conversion circuit 11, and the fourth connector 32 can be the same connector as the first connector 12, which will not be elaborated.

[0056] The fourth photoelectric conversion circuit 31 is used to convert electrical signals of different types of transmission interfaces into optical signals, and then the optical signals are transmitted to the doctor control console trolley 30 through the fourth connector 32 and the second transmission link, thereby realizing data transmission from the doctor control console trolley 30 to the image processing trolley 20.

[0057] In some of the embodiments, the first transmission link and the second transmission link are multi-core optical cables.

[0058] Specifically, the data transmission between the operating trolley 10 and the image processing trolley 20 adopts a first transmission link; the data transmission between the doctor's control trolley 30 and the image processing trolley 20 adopts a second transmission link; the first transmission link and the second transmission link are multi-core optical cables, which are in the form of a cable; if there are several transmission interfaces whose data needs to be transmitted, it can be considered that the multi-core optical cable has several cores; then the connector matching the multi-core optical cable is also a multi-core connector. For example: if there are three transmission interfaces, then the corresponding one is a three-core optical cable, and a three-core connector is matched; of course, a sixteen-core optical cable can also be used with only three of the cores; thereby effectively reducing the number of cables; and using optical fiber to improve transmission efficiency, reduce usage delays, and ensure the user experience.

[0059] In some of the embodiments, the first photoelectric conversion circuit 11, the second photoelectric conversion circuit 21, the third photoelectric conversion circuit 23 or the fourth photoelectric conversion circuit 31 is also used to convert electrical signals of different types of transmission interfaces into first type optical signals and second type optical signals.

[0060] Specifically, the first photoelectric conversion circuit 11, the second photoelectric conversion circuit 21, the third photoelectric conversion circuit 23 and the fourth photoelectric conversion circuit 31 can convert electrical signals of different types of transmission interfaces into first-type optical signals and second-type optical signals. The transmission speed requirement of the first-type optical signal is higher than that of the second-type optical signal. For example, electrical signals related to Ethernet, high-speed video, etc. are converted into first-type optical signals; electrical signals related to control, VH, PH, etc. are converted into second-type optical signals.

[0061] In this embodiment, electrical signals of different types of transmission interfaces can be converted into corresponding optical signals according to the transmission speed requirements, thereby reasonably controlling the cost while meeting the usage requirements.

[0062] In some of the embodiments, the transmission interface includes an Ethernet transmission interface, an audio and video transmission interface, and a control signal interface.

[0063] Specifically, the transmission interfaces are classified into the following categories, namely, Ethernet transmission interface, audio and video transmission interface, and control signal interface; Ethernet transmission interface includes but is not limited to CAT5e interface, etc.; audio and video transmission interface includes but is not limited to HDMI interface, SDI interface, etc. Control signal interface includes but is not limited to VH interface, PH interface, burning interface, etc. The number of each transmission interface can be adjusted according to usage requirements. For example: in the doctor's control console trolley 30, 3 Ethernet transmission interfaces can be set; 4 audio and video transmission interfaces can be set; and 2 control signal interfaces can be set. In the operating trolley 10, 2 Ethernet transmission interfaces can be set; 0 audio and video transmission interfaces can be set; and 2 control signal interfaces can be set.

[0064] In this embodiment, different transmission interface settings can meet different usage requirements and can be flexibly adjusted.

[0065] In some of the embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the first photoelectric conversion circuit 11, the second photoelectric conversion circuit 21, the third photoelectric conversion circuit 23 and the fourth photoelectric conversion circuit 31 all include a first type of optical path module and a second type of optical path module;

[0066] The first type of optical path module is connected to the Ethernet transmission interface and the first type of transmission line in the corresponding transmission link;

[0067] The second type of optical path module is respectively connected to the audio and video transmission interface, the control signal interface and the second type of transmission line in the corresponding transmission link.

[0068] Specifically, the transmission speed of the first type of transmission line is faster than that of the second type of transmission line. The first type of optical path modules of the second photoelectric conversion circuit 21 and the third photoelectric conversion circuit 23 in the image processing vehicle 20 can be considered as dual-path high-speed modules.

[0069] When the doctor controls the data of the Ethernet transmission interface of the console trolley 30 to be transmitted to the image processing trolley 20, the electrical signal corresponding to the Ethernet transmission interface is converted into a first type of optical signal, and the first type of transmission line in the transmission link is selected through the fourth connector 32 to transmit the first type of optical signal to the image processing trolley 20. For the transmission lines of other Ethernet transmission interfaces, examples are not given one by one here.

[0070] When the doctor controls the data of the audio and video transmission interface and the control signal interface of the console trolley 30 to be transmitted to the image processing trolley 20, the electrical signals corresponding to the audio and video transmission interface and the control signal interface are converted into the second type of optical signals, and the second type of transmission line in the transmission link is selected through the fourth connector 32 to transmit the second type of optical signals to the image processing trolley 20. For the transmission lines of other audio and video transmission interfaces and control signal interfaces, examples are not given one by one here.

[0071] In this embodiment, different optical path modules are provided to achieve communication between trolleys at different speeds.

[0072] In some of the embodiments, the first photoelectric conversion circuit 11 further includes a field programmable gate array;

[0073] The first type of optical path module or the second type of optical path module is connected to the transmission interface through a field programmable gate array.

[0074] Specifically, a field programmable gate array (FPGA) is arranged between the optical path module and the transmission interface; Figure 4 As shown, in the first photoelectric conversion circuit 11, the field programmable gate array is arranged between the transmission interface and the first optical path module, and can control the transmission between different transmission interfaces and corresponding optical path modules; thereby ensuring the reliability of data transmission.
