Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular, relates to a local thermal chemotherapy device for traditional Chinese medicine tumors. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of traditional Chinese medicine tumor treatment technology, local thermochemotherapy has been widely used as an important auxiliary treatment method. Existing local thermochemotherapy devices mainly heat the lesion site to enhance the body's immunity and inhibit tumor growth.

[0003] At present, the common thermochemotherapy devices on the market are mainly divided into three categories: single-point contact heating devices, planar radiation heating devices and multi-point array heating devices. Single-point contact heating devices have a simple structure and a limited heating range, making it difficult to cover a large treatment area. Planar radiation heating devices use a large-area heating plate design, but due to the single heat transfer method, it is easy to cause the surface temperature to be too high and the deep temperature to be insufficient. Multi-point array heating devices are composed of multiple independently controlled heating units. The system is complex, costly, and difficult to maintain.

[0004] In actual clinical applications, existing thermal chemotherapy devices generally have the following problems: first, the temperature control accuracy is insufficient, making it difficult to achieve precise heating of specific areas; second, the heat distribution is uneven, which can easily cause local temperatures to be too high or too low; third, the equipment structure is complex and inconvenient to operate and maintain; finally, the temperature stability during the treatment process is poor, making it difficult to ensure a sustained and stable treatment effect. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a local thermal chemotherapy device for traditional Chinese medicine tumors, which can solve the problems of uneven temperature distribution and low heat control accuracy in existing thermal chemotherapy devices.

[0006] The present invention is achieved in that:

[0008] The technical effects of a local thermochemotherapy device for traditional Chinese medicine tumors provided by the present invention are as follows: The local thermochemotherapy device for traditional Chinese medicine tumors proposed by the present invention effectively solves the problem of insufficient temperature control accuracy in the prior art through the innovative collaborative design of the main and auxiliary heating components.

[0009] In terms of heat distribution uniformity, the main and auxiliary heating component linkage mechanism adopted in the present invention, combined with a precise temperature control system, can achieve highly uniform temperature distribution within the treatment area. Test data show that the temperature uniformity within the treatment area can reach ±1°C, while the existing technology is generally above ±3°C.

The average trouble-free operation time of the equipment exceeds 5,000 hours, and the maintenance cost is reduced by more than 40% compared with the existing technology.

[0011] In terms of temperature stability during the treatment process, the present invention achieves long-term stable temperature control through innovative temperature control algorithms and mechanical structure design. In an 8-hour test, the temperature fluctuation was controlled within the range of ±0.3°C, while the existing technology is generally above ±1°C.

[0106] It should be noted that the variables involved in the present invention are explained in detail as shown in Table 5:

[0107] Table 5 Explanation of variables

[0108]

[0109] Specifically, the principle of the present invention is: the collaborative control principle of the main and auxiliary heating components adopted by the present invention is based on the multi-source superposition effect of heat transfer and the theory of local fine adjustment. The main heating component adopts a large-area design, and achieves uniform heat diffusion through heat-conducting materials to provide a basic thermal field for the entire treatment area. The auxiliary heating component adopts a flexible rotating structure, which can provide additional heating or temperature fine-tuning for specific areas as needed.

[0110] During the heat transfer process, the heat generated by the main heating component diffuses to the surrounding area through heat conduction, forming a relatively uniform temperature field. This conduction process follows Fourier's law of heat conduction, and the diffusion rate of heat in space is proportional to the temperature gradient. The large-area design of the main heating component ensures the stability of the basic temperature field, while the high thermal conductivity material used on its surface improves the heat transfer efficiency.

[0111] The design of the auxiliary heating component adopts the principle of local heat compensation. Through the rotatable structural design, the auxiliary heating component can flexibly adjust its position to supplement the heating of the lower temperature area. This supplementary heating process can achieve fine adjustment of the temperature of the local area through precise temperature feedback control. The small area design of the auxiliary heating component makes it have a fast response characteristic and can compensate for temperature changes in time.

[0112] The temperature control system of the present invention adopts the closed-loop feedback control principle, monitors the temperature distribution of the treatment area in real time through the temperature probe, and dynamically adjusts the output power of the main and auxiliary heating components according to the measurement results. The system adopts the PID control algorithm, and realizes precise temperature control through the synergy of the three links of proportion, integration and differentiation. Among them, the proportion link is responsible for basic temperature regulation, the integration link eliminates static errors, and the differentiation link improves the system response speed.

[0113] In terms of mechanical structure design, the present invention adopts modular and standardized design principles. Through reasonable structural layout, effective coordination between functional modules is achieved. The lifting bracket system adopts a double-layer sleeve structure to ensure the smoothness of movement and the accuracy of positioning. The design of the guide groove and the spiral shaft provides reliable mechanical support for the position adjustment of the main and auxiliary heating components.

[0114] The working process of the entire system embodies the principle of precise heat control. First, the main heating component establishes a basic temperature field, ensuring the basic temperature requirements of the treatment area by uniformly heating a large area. Then, the auxiliary heating component fine-tunes the local area based on real-time temperature feedback to achieve precise temperature control. This dual heating structure not only improves the temperature control accuracy, but also enhances the stability and reliability of the system.

[0115] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
