[0078] The following description is used to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are only examples, and those skilled in the art may think of other obvious variations.
[0079] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a stability auxiliary analysis method for a medical endoscope cable comprises:
[0080] Use an impedance tester to check whether the impedance of the connection between the medical endoscope cable and the endoscope camera host and display matches;
[0081] The insulation impedance of medical endoscope cables is tested using a high voltage insulation resistance tester using the unbalanced bridge method;
[0082] Evenly set at least one auxiliary mark point inside the medical endoscope cable, and record the image signal intensity at the auxiliary mark point;
[0083] By setting up at least one simulation experiment, the image signal attenuation at the auxiliary punctuation points of the medical endoscope cable under different lengths and bending conditions is evaluated;
[0084] By applying electromagnetic fields of different frequencies and intensities, the stability of the medical endoscope cable under external electromagnetic field interference is tested, and the changes in the image signal intensity at each auxiliary punctuation point are observed;
[0085] Wrap a metal shielding layer around the medical endoscope cable and test its stability again under external electromagnetic field interference of different frequencies and intensities;
[0086] The medical endoscope cable is modeled and analyzed using simulation software. The material and structure of the medical endoscope cable are input, and the transmission performance of the medical endoscope cable under different temperatures, humidity, and pH values is analyzed.
[0087] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the impedance tester is used to check whether the impedance of the connection part between the medical endoscope cable and the endoscope camera host and the display matches, specifically including:
[0088] Connect the output end of the impedance tester to the end of the medical endoscope cable connected to the endoscope camera host;
[0089] Connect the input end of the impedance tester to the end of the medical endoscope cable connected to the monitor;
[0090] Set the test frequency and impedance range parameters on the impedance tester, start the impedance tester, and start measuring;
[0091] Draw a resistance-impedance diagram from the measurement results and calculate the phase angle in the image;
[0092] The impedance formula is used to calculate the impedance of the connection between the medical endoscope cable and the endoscope camera host and display;
[0093] Determine whether the impedance exceeds the preset impedance range. If so, the output impedance is not matched, the signal is reflected and attenuated, the image quality is affected, and the cable needs to be reconnected to the endoscope camera host and the display. If not, the output impedance is matched;
[0094] The impedance formula is:
[0095]
[0096] Where X is the impedance of the connection between the medical endoscope cable and the endoscope camera host and display, R is the resistance value of the connection part, and θ is the phase angle in the resistance-impedance diagram.
[0097] Impedance is one of the parameters that characterize the characteristics of electronic devices. Impedance is defined as the resistance of the device to alternating current at a given frequency. Impedance is usually expressed in the form of a complex quantity and can be plotted on polar coordinates. The first and second quadrants of the coordinates correspond to positive inductance and positive capacitance, respectively; the third and fourth quadrants represent negative resistance values.
[0098] Reference Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the insulation impedance of the medical endoscope cable is tested by a high voltage insulation resistance tester using an unbalanced bridge method, including:
[0099] Connect the positive terminal of the high voltage insulation resistance tester to the conductor portion of the medical endoscope cable;
[0100] Connect the negative terminal of the high voltage insulation resistance tester to the insulation layer or grounding part of the medical endoscope cable;
[0101] Add a switch and a resistor on each side, and change the equivalent resistance of the two poles to the ground by switching the switches on both sides alternately, so as to obtain the unbalanced detection voltage on the positive and negative detection resistors;
[0102] The voltage on the positive and negative detection resistors changes with the switching cycle. When the insulation resistance of one pole becomes lower, the voltage on the detection resistor on that side becomes smaller, and the voltage on the corresponding detection resistor on the other side becomes larger.
[0103] Based on the relationship between voltage and resistance in the circuit, calculate the insulation resistance of the positive and negative electrodes;
[0104] Determine whether the insulation impedance of the positive and negative poles is less than the preset threshold. If so, the insulation of the output medical endoscope cable is unqualified and an insulating protective layer needs to be wrapped on the outermost layer of the cable. If not, the insulation of the output medical endoscope cable is qualified.
[0105] The advantage of the unbalanced bridge method is that it can accurately detect the insulation resistance of the positive and negative electrodes. The disadvantage is that the circuit needs to wait for a period of time to reach a steady state after switching the switch, so the detection time is relatively long.
[0106] Reference Figure 4 As shown, by setting up at least one simulation experiment, the image signal attenuation at the auxiliary punctuation point of the medical endoscope cable under different lengths and bending conditions is evaluated, specifically including:
[0107] Setting up a first simulation experiment to test the image signal strength at each auxiliary punctuation point of the medical endoscope cable without being bent;
[0108] A second simulation experiment is set up to test the change in the image signal intensity at the auxiliary mark point when the medical endoscope cable is bent at different angles before the auxiliary mark point;
[0109] A third simulation experiment is set up to test the change in the image signal intensity at the auxiliary mark point when the medical endoscope cable is bent at different radii before the auxiliary mark point;
[0110] By observing and recording the image quality on the image signal receiver, the image signal strength at each auxiliary punctuation point is indicated, and the image quality includes brightness, contrast and clarity;
[0111] Based on the recorded data, plot the relationship between image signal attenuation and cable length, bend angle, and bend radius.
[0112] The experiment should be carried out in a dry, windless environment with constant room temperature to avoid the influence of environmental factors on the experimental results, ensure the accuracy and precision of the measuring tools, and avoid the influence of errors on the experimental results.
[0113] Reference Figure 5 As shown in the figure, by applying electromagnetic fields of different frequencies and intensities, the stability of the medical endoscope cable under external electromagnetic field interference is tested, and the changes in the image signal intensity at each auxiliary punctuation point are observed, including:
[0114] In the absence of electromagnetic interference, the image signal intensity at each auxiliary punctuation point was recorded as the control group data;
[0115] Using an electromagnetic field generator, gradually applying an electromagnetic field to the outside of the medical endoscope cable according to a preset frequency and intensity range;
[0116] During the application of the electromagnetic field, the changes in the image signal intensity at each auxiliary punctuation point were observed and recorded as experimental group data;
[0117] Using the stability formula, calculate the stability of medical endoscope cables under external electromagnetic field interference of different frequencies and intensities;
[0118] The stability formula is:
[0119]
[0120] Where μ is the stability of the medical endoscope cable, α i is the image signal intensity at the i-th auxiliary mark in the control group, α i ' is the image signal intensity at the ith auxiliary mark of the experimental group, and n is the total number of auxiliary marks.
[0121] Under each frequency and intensity of the external electromagnetic field, a stable test needs to be maintained for a period of time to record the data. In order to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the test results, it is recommended to repeat the test for each test condition multiple times.
