Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of defibrillation, and in particular to an automatic external defibrillator. Background Art

[0002] With the development and progress of the new energy field, batteries represented by lithium batteries are increasingly used in consumer, medical, aerospace and other fields.

[0003] The cells in lithium batteries are divided into lithium-ion cells (secondary cells) and lithium metal cells (primary cells). The advantages of secondary cells represented by lithium cells are high energy density, rechargeable, low self-discharge rate, no storage effect, etc. The disadvantage is that the cost is higher than that of primary cells. The advantages of primary cells represented by lithium metal cells are high energy density, extremely low self-discharge rate, and lower material cost than secondary cells. The disadvantage is that the replacement and after-sales costs are higher. In addition to the above two types of primary and secondary cells, there are other types of primary and secondary cells on the market, which are widely used in various devices.

[0004] For example, in the medical field, a defibrillator is an infrequently used emergency medical device, mainly used for defibrillation treatment of dangerous diseases such as ventricular fibrillation and atrial fibrillation. Defibrillators are divided into AED (automatic defibrillator) and MED (manual defibrillator). The main usage scenarios of AED are subways, airports, schools, homes, etc., and the users are generally non-professionals. At present, the power supply system of AED is generally a disposable battery, that is, the battery in the general AED is only equipped with a single battery cell. Since disposable batteries are not rechargeable, they need to be returned to the factory to replace the battery after the capacity decreases after use, thereby increasing the after-sales cost and efficiency of use. In addition, as AEDs are increasingly deployed in different venues, the application scenarios of AEDs are becoming more and more complex, and AEDs using disposable batteries are increasingly unable to meet the needs of complex scenarios. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention provides an automatic external defibrillator device, comprising:

[0006] A housing having a storage compartment;

[0007] An electric module, the electric module being used at least to output a defibrillation shock;

[0008] A battery, the battery being installed in the receiving compartment, the battery comprising:

[0009] A housing, an output terminal, a rechargeable first power supply module, and a non-rechargeable second power supply module;

[0010] The first power supply module and the second power supply module are both encapsulated in the housing;

[0011] The first power supply module and the second power supply module are both used to be electrically connected to the output end;

[0012] The output end is used to supply power to the power-consuming module based on the electric energy provided by the first power supply module and / or the second power supply module.

[0013] According to the automatic external defibrillator in the above embodiment, a "composite" battery is provided in the automatic external defibrillator, and a rechargeable first power supply module and a non-rechargeable second power supply module are integrated inside the battery. When powering the electrical equipment, the rechargeable first power supply module can be used for power supply, or the second power supply module can be used for power supply directly, so that the battery can be used as a secondary battery or as a primary battery, thereby being able to meet more complex or special application scenarios.

[0049] The present invention is further described in detail below by specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Wherein similar elements in different embodiments adopt associated similar element numbers. In the following embodiments, many detailed descriptions are for making the present application better understood. However, those skilled in the art can easily recognize that some features can be omitted in different situations, or can be replaced by other elements, materials, methods. In some cases, some operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification, this is to avoid the core part of the present application being overwhelmed by too much description, and for those skilled in the art, it is not necessary to describe these related operations in detail, and they can fully understand the related operations according to the description in the specification and the general technical knowledge in the art.

[0050] In addition, the features, operations or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any appropriate manner to form various implementations. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can also be interchanged or adjusted in a manner that is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and the drawings are only for the purpose of clearly describing a certain embodiment and are not meant to be a required sequence, unless otherwise specified that a certain sequence must be followed.

[0051] The serial numbers of the components in this document, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the objects described and do not have any order or technical meaning. The "connection" and "coupling" mentioned in this application, unless otherwise specified, include direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0052] The most important concept of the present invention is that a rechargeable first power supply module and a non-rechargeable second power supply module are integrated into the battery of the automatic external defibrillator, and the output end of the battery can use the power of the first power supply module and / or the second power supply module to power the power module, so that the automatic external defibrillator can meet more complex or special application scenarios. At the same time, in some embodiments, secondary batteries are used as the main power supply, thereby reducing the inconvenience of replacing primary batteries and the high cost of replacing them.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 In the illustrated embodiment, an automatic external defibrillator is provided, which includes a housing 10 , a power module 20 , a battery 30 and a processor 40 .

[0054] The housing 10 includes a casing 11 and a cover 12. The cover 12 covers the casing 11 and can be flipped relative to the casing 11 to open or close the space between the casing 11 and the cover 12. The cover 12 has an inner surface 121 facing the casing 11. In some embodiments, the inner surface 121 can form a receiving space by being recessed or the like.

[0055] The power module 20 is at least used to output defibrillation shocks. In some embodiments, the power module 20 includes an electrode sheet assembly 21, a defibrillation capacitor 22, and a defibrillation assembly 23. The electrode sheet assembly 21 includes an electrode sheet 211, a cable 212, and an electrode sheet plug 213 connected in sequence. An electrode sheet socket 112 for plugging with the electrode sheet plug 213 is provided on the outer surface 111 of the housing 11. The electrode sheet socket 112 is electrically connected to the defibrillation assembly 23 inside the housing 11. When the automatic external defibrillator is used to defibrillate an object to be defibrillated, the electrode sheet 211 is attached to the object to be defibrillated, and the electrode sheet plug 213 is electrically connected to the electrode sheet socket 112, so that the electrode sheet 211 is electrically connected to the defibrillation assembly 23, thereby transmitting the defibrillation current generated by the defibrillation assembly 23 to the object to be defibrillated.

[0056] The electrode sheet assembly 21 is detachably mounted in the receiving space. When the automatic external defibrillator is not used for defibrillation, the electrode sheet assembly 21 is mounted in the receiving space. When the automatic external defibrillator is used to defibrillate the object to be defibrillated, the electrode sheet assembly 21 can be taken out of the receiving space, and then the electrode sheet 211 is attached to the object to be defibrillated, and the electrode sheet plug 213 is electrically connected to the electrode sheet socket 112, so that the electrode sheet 211 is electrically connected to the defibrillation assembly 23, thereby transmitting the defibrillation current generated by the defibrillation assembly 23 to the object to be defibrillated.

[0057] In some embodiments, the electrode sheet assembly 21 includes a pair of electrode sheets 211 and two cables 212. One end of the cable 212 is connected to the electrode sheet 211, and the other end of the cable 212 is connected to the electrode sheet plug 213. The pair of electrode sheets 211 are electrically connected to the electrode sheet plug 213 through the two cables 212.

[0058] In some embodiments, the electrode sheet assembly 21 further includes an electrode sheet packaging bag 214 that encapsulates at least the electrode sheet 211. Specifically, the electrode sheet packaging bag 214 seals the electrode sheet 211 to prevent the electrode sheet 211 from being damp, dusty or damaged. Of course, in other embodiments, the electrode sheet packaging bag 214 can also seal the electrode sheet 211 and the cable 212.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the defibrillator assembly 23 includes a therapeutic charging module 231, a therapeutic discharge module 232 and a therapeutic parameter module 233. The therapeutic charging module 231 is used to charge to achieve the defibrillation treatment function. For example, the therapeutic charging module 231 includes a charging circuit connected to the defibrillator capacitor 22, and the charging circuit charges the defibrillator capacitor 22 based on the voltage provided by the battery 30.

[0060] The therapeutic discharge module 232 is connected to the electrode pad socket 112 for defibrillation discharge. In some embodiments, the therapeutic discharge module 232 includes a discharge switch connected between the defibrillation capacitor 22 and the electrode pad socket 112. When the discharge switch is turned on, the defibrillation capacitor 22 outputs a discharge voltage to the electrode pad socket 112 through the discharge switch to implement defibrillation discharge.

[0061] The treatment parameter module 233 is used to process the parameter data of the acquired treatment parameters, wherein the treatment parameters refer to physiological parameters directly related to defibrillation, such as ECG signals (ECG parameters) and pacing signals (pacing parameters). In some embodiments, the treatment parameter module 233 stores the algorithm required for defibrillation analysis and / or has the analysis circuit required for defibrillation analysis, and performs algorithm analysis based on the obtained ECG signals to obtain analysis results, such as impedance analysis.

[0062] In addition to being used for defibrillation shock, in other embodiments, the power module 20 may also include other components / devices that require the use of electrical energy. For example, the power module 20 also includes devices that the automatic external defibrillator device needs to use electrical energy on a daily basis, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes but is not limited to a display screen 24 , a sensor component 25 , a parameter calculation circuit 26 and a communication module 27 .

[0063] The display screen 24 is installed on the outer surface of the cover 12. The display screen 24 is used to display physiological information such as monitoring parameters and an operation interface. The display screen 24 can be a conventional screen with operation buttons set around the display screen 24 for operation. The display screen 24 can also be a touch screen, and operations can be performed directly through the display screen 24.

[0064] The sensor assembly 25 is used to collect monitoring parameter signals of the object to be defibrillated. The sensor assembly 25 may include various types of sensors, and each type of sensor transmits the collected monitoring parameter signals to the automatic external defibrillator.

[0065] The parameter calculation circuit 26 is used to calculate the parameter data of the monitoring parameter according to the monitoring parameter signal. In some embodiments, the parameter calculation circuit 26 includes at least one of an electrocardiogram parameter calculation circuit, a blood oxygen parameter calculation circuit, a blood pressure parameter calculation circuit, a body temperature parameter calculation circuit, and a respiratory parameter calculation circuit, and different parameter calculation circuits 26 are used to process corresponding monitoring parameter signals.

[0066] The communication module 27 is used to communicate with external devices of the automatic external defibrillator to realize data transmission.

[0067] The battery 30 is used to be installed in a receiving compartment (not shown) of the housing 10, and can be taken out of the receiving compartment to replace the battery 30. The battery 30 includes a housing 31, an output terminal 32, a first power supply module 33a and a second power supply module 33b.

[0068] In some embodiments, the housing 31 is a plastic housing, and the plastic housing includes an upper housing and a lower housing, and the upper housing and the lower housing can be connected by ultrasonic welding to ensure the sealing of the housing 31. Figures 8 to 10 In the embodiment, the upper shell 31b and the lower shell 31a are used to enclose and form a cavity for accommodating the first power supply module 33a and the second power supply module 33b. In addition, the upper shell 31b and the lower shell 31a can also be connected by a buckle to strengthen the connection, for example, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In the embodiment, buckles are arranged on both sides of the upper shell 31b. It is understandable that even if the outer shell 31 is not a plastic shell, it can also include an upper shell 31b and a lower shell 31a.

[0069] The output terminal 32 of the battery 30 is located on the housing 31. In some embodiments, the output terminal 32 may be a conductive terminal, a portion of which is located inside the battery 30 and another portion is exposed outside the battery 30 so as to be connected to an external cable or electrical connector.

[0070] The first power supply module 33a is a rechargeable power supply module, and the second power supply module 33b is a non-rechargeable power supply module. The first power supply module 33a and the second power supply module 33b are both encapsulated in the outer shell 31, and the first power supply module 33a and the second power supply module 33b are both used to connect to the output end 32. Therefore, when the output end 32 of the battery 30 is electrically connected to the power module 20, the output end 32 can power the power module 20 based on the electric energy provided by at least one of the first power supply module 33a and the second power supply module 33b.

[0071] It can be seen that the battery 30 in this embodiment is a "composite battery", which may be no different from a general battery 30 from the outside, but a non-rechargeable power supply module and a rechargeable power supply module are integrated inside. When supplying power, both the rechargeable power supply module and the non-rechargeable power supply module can be used for power supply, or both the rechargeable and non-rechargeable power supply modules can be used for power supply. This method expands the application scenarios of the automatic external defibrillator and makes the use of the automatic external defibrillator more reliable.

[0072] In other embodiments, the battery 30 is electrically connected to the processor 40, and the battery 30 also supplies power to the processor 40. In some embodiments where the battery 30 is electrically connected to the processor 40, the processor 40 is connected to the battery 30 via the output terminal 32, so the battery 30 supplies power to both the processor 40 and the power-consuming module 20 via the output terminal 32. In other embodiments, the battery 30 may also be provided with an interface connected to the processor 40, and the power supply priority of the interface may be higher than the power supply priority of the output terminal 32. Therefore, when the battery 30 is installed in the automatic external defibrillator device, the battery 30 first supplies power to the processor 40, and after the processor 40 obtains the electric energy, it may subsequently control the operation of the power-consuming module 20 and the power supply of the power-consuming module 20 by the battery 30.

[0073] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the first power supply module 33a includes a plurality of first cylindrical cells 331 arranged in parallel, for example, the first cylindrical cells 331 are lithium electronic cells, nickel-hydrogen cells, etc. The series-parallel connection between the plurality of first cylindrical cells 331 can be set according to the voltage required by the power module 20. For example, the first power supply module 33a uses 3 series and 1 parallel, 3 series and 2 parallel or 4 series and 1 parallel first cylindrical cells 331, and its packaging specifications are 18650, 21700 or 17500, etc. The plurality of first cylindrical cells 331 are connected end to end, and the connection between the first cylindrical cells 331 is achieved by spot welding of nickel sheets. The second power supply module 33b includes a plurality of second cylindrical cells 332 arranged in parallel, for example, the second cylindrical cells 332 are lithium metal cells, alkaline cells, etc. The series-parallel connection between the multiple second cylindrical battery cells 332 can be set according to the voltage required by the power module 20. For example, the second power supply module 33b adopts 4 series and 1 parallel, 3 series and 1 parallel or 3 series and 2 parallel second cylindrical battery cells 332, and its packaging specifications are 17500, 18650 or 21700. The multiple second cylindrical battery cells 332 are connected end to end, and the connection between the second cylindrical battery cells 332 is achieved by nickel sheet spot welding.

[0074] When the first power supply module 33a includes a plurality of first cylindrical battery cells 331 arranged in parallel, at least some of the components in the automatic external defibrillator device can be set in the gap between adjacent first cylindrical battery cells 331, or can be set in the gap between the first cylindrical battery cell 331 and the outer shell 31; when the second power supply module 33b includes a plurality of second cylindrical battery cells 332 arranged in parallel, at least some of the components in the automatic external defibrillator device can be set in the gap between adjacent second cylindrical battery cells 332, or can be set in the gap between the second cylindrical battery cell 332 and the outer shell 31; and when the first power supply module 33a includes a plurality of first cylindrical battery cells 331 and the second power supply module 33b includes a plurality of second cylindrical battery cells 332, at least some of the components in the automatic external defibrillator device can be set in the gap between the first cylindrical battery cell 331 and the second cylindrical battery cell 332. It can be seen that when the power supply module includes cylindrical battery cells, the space inside the battery 30 can be fully utilized by setting devices between the battery cells or in the gap between the battery cells and the outer shell 31, so that the overall volume of the automatic external defibrillator device is reduced.

[0075] In some embodiments, the battery 30 also includes a protection board disposed in the housing 31. The functions of the protection board can be roughly divided into two categories: communication and protection under abnormal conditions, wherein communication refers to allowing the processor 40 or external device of the automatic external defibrillator to read the information of the power supply module, such as power, status, etc., so as to better use and control the battery 30 and extend the service life of the battery 30; protection refers to avoiding abnormal conditions of the battery 30 due to internal or external factors, such as avoiding overcharging of the battery 30 which may cause the battery 30 to catch fire naturally. The following specifically describes the protective function of the protection board:

[0076] The protection board is provided with a first protection module 341 and a second protection module 342. The first protection module 341 is provided between the first power supply module 33a and the output terminal 32. For example, when the first power supply module 33a includes a plurality of first cylindrical cells 331, the positive and negative electrodes of the plurality of first cylindrical cells 331 connected in series / parallel are respectively connected to the first protection module 341 through electrical connection lines, and the first protection module 341 is further connected to the output terminal 32 through electrical connection lines. The first protection module 341 is used to perform at least one of overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, overtemperature protection and anti-backflow protection on the first power supply module 33a. The second protection module 342 is provided between the second power supply module 33b and the output terminal 32. For example, when the second power supply module 33b includes a plurality of second cylindrical cells 332, the positive and negative electrodes of the plurality of second cylindrical cells 332 connected in series / parallel are respectively connected to the second protection module 342 through electrical connection lines, and the second protection module 342 is further connected to the output terminal 32 through electrical connection lines. The second protection module 342 is used to perform at least one of overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, overtemperature protection and anti-backflow protection on the second power supply module 33 b.

[0077] It can be seen that the first protection module 341 is used to protect the first power supply module 33a, and the second protection module 342 is used to protect the second power supply module 33b. It should be noted that the protection function of the above protection module itself is not an improvement point in this embodiment. For example, any protection module may include an existing overvoltage protection circuit to achieve overvoltage protection, an existing overcurrent protection circuit to achieve overcurrent protection, an existing overtemperature protection to achieve overtemperature protection, and an existing anti-backfeeding circuit to achieve anti-backfeeding protection. The following is an explanation taking anti-backfeeding protection as an example:

[0078] The first protection module 341 includes a first diode. When the first power supply module 33a supplies power, the positive electrode of the first diode is used to connect with the first power supply module 33a, and the negative electrode of the first diode is used to connect with the output end 32. The first diode only allows current to flow from the first power supply module 33a to the output end 32, but does not allow current to flow from the output end 32 to the first power supply module 33a, so as to prevent current from flowing back into the first power supply module 33a; the second protection module 342 includes a second diode. When the second power supply module 33b supplies power, the positive electrode of the second diode is used to connect with the second power supply module 33b, and the negative electrode of the second diode is used to connect with the output end 32. The second diode only allows current to flow from the second power supply module 33b to the output end 32, but does not allow current to flow from the output end 32 to the second power supply module 33b, so as to prevent current from flowing back into the second power supply module 33b. Since the first power supply module 33a and the second power supply module 33b are both used to connect to the output terminal 32, the first diode can also prevent the current of the second power supply module 33b from being fed back into the first power supply module 33a, and the second diode can also prevent the current of the first power supply module 33a from being fed back into the second power supply module 33b.

[0079] In some embodiments, there are two protection plates, namely, a first protection plate 34a and a second protection plate 34b, wherein the first protection module 341 is arranged on the first protection plate 34a, and the second protection module 342 is arranged on the second protection plate 34b, then the first protection plate 34a is equivalent to a protection plate dedicated to the first power supply module 33a, and the second protection plate 34b is equivalent to a protection plate dedicated to the second power supply module 33b. In other embodiments, a part of the first protection module 341 may be arranged on the first protection plate 34a, and another part of the first protection module 341 may be arranged on the second protection plate 34b, or a part of the second protection plate 34b may be arranged on the first protection plate 34a, and another part of the second protection module 342 may be arranged on the second protection plate 34b.

[0080] When the protection plate includes a first protection plate 34a and a second protection plate 34b, in some embodiments, certain designs are also made for the positions and / or placements of the two protection plates.

[0081] First, define a first reference plane and a second reference plane. The first reference plane and the second reference plane are perpendicular to each other. The first protective plate 34a is parallel to the first reference plane, and the second protective plate 34b is parallel to the second reference plane. That is, the first protective plate 34a and the second protective plate 34b are perpendicular to each other. In addition, in some embodiments, the housing 31 includes a first side wall parallel to the first reference plane, and also includes a second side wall parallel to the second reference plane. That is, the housing 31 also has two side walls perpendicular to each other. For example, the housing 31 can be as follows Figure 6In the rectangular parallelepiped structure shown in the figure, the first side wall is the bottom wall or the top wall of the rectangular parallelepiped structure, and the second side wall is the side wall where the wide side of the rectangular parallelepiped structure is located. By arranging the first protective plate 34a and the second protective plate 34b perpendicular to each other in the shell 31 in the rectangular parallelepiped structure, the space inside the shell 31 can be fully utilized, and will not cause excessive obstacles to the placement of the first power supply module 33a and the second power supply module 33b. For example, a rectangular parallelepiped space can also be formed between the first protective plate 34a and the second protective plate 34b, and the first power supply module 33a and the second power supply module 33b can be placed in the space.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first power supply module 33a includes a plurality of first cylindrical battery cells 331 arranged in parallel, and the second power supply module 33b includes a plurality of second cylindrical battery cells 332 arranged in parallel. In addition, the first cylindrical battery cells 331 and the second cylindrical battery cells 332 are also arranged in parallel, and the axes of the plurality of first cylindrical battery cells 331 are located in the first reference plane. Since the first cylindrical battery cells 331 and the second cylindrical battery cells 332 are arranged in parallel, the axes of the plurality of second cylindrical battery cells 332 are also located in the first reference plane; and the radial planes of the plurality of first cylindrical battery cells 331 are located in the second reference plane. Since the first cylindrical battery cells 331 and the second cylindrical battery cells 332 are arranged in parallel, the radial planes of the plurality of second cylindrical battery cells 332 are also located in the second reference plane, finally forming the following: Figure 6 and Figure 7 The arrangement shown in the figure, in which the first power supply module 33a and the second power supply module 33b are arranged along the axial direction of the first cylindrical battery cell 331 or the second cylindrical battery cell 332, the first protective plate 34a is arranged in the gap between the first power supply module 33a and the second power supply module 33b and the first side wall, and the second protective plate 34b is arranged in the gap between the first power supply module 33a and the outer shell 31, thereby making full use of the internal space of the outer shell 31.

[0083] In other embodiments, the first power supply module 33a includes a plurality of first cylindrical cells 331 arranged in parallel, and the second power supply module 33b includes a plurality of second cylindrical cells 332 arranged in parallel. In addition, the first cylindrical cells 331 and the second cylindrical cells 332 are arranged vertically, that is, the radial planes of the plurality of first cylindrical cells 331 are located in the first reference plane, and the radial planes of the plurality of second cylindrical cells 332 are located in the second reference plane, finally forming Figures 8 to 10 The arrangement shown in Figure 8 In some embodiments, the first protection plate 34a can be fixed on the plurality of first cylindrical cells 331 by double-sided adhesive. Figure 8 The lower shell 31a is provided with a first supporting rib 311, and the second protection plate 34b is bonded to the first supporting rib 311 by means of double-sided adhesive or the like. Fig.10The middle upper shell 31b is provided with a second supporting rib 312. When the upper shell 31b and the lower shell 31a are enclosed to form a cavity, the first supporting rib 311 and the second supporting rib 312 cooperate with each other to clamp and fix the second protective plate 34b. The two supporting ribs can strengthen the strength of the outer shell 31 on the one hand, and reduce the additional installation space required for the second protective plate 34b on the other hand.

[0084] In other embodiments, when the first protection plate 34a is smaller, the first protection plate 34a may be disposed only in the gap between the first power supply module 33a and the first side wall, or only in the gap between the second power supply module 33b and the first side wall, and the second protection plate 34b may also be disposed in the gap between the first power supply module 33a and the first side wall. Figure 6 A gap between the first power supply module 33a and the second power supply module 33b, or a gap between the second power supply module 33b and the housing 31.

[0085] In some embodiments, the battery 30 further includes a fuel gauge 35 and a fuel indicator device disposed on the housing 31. The fuel gauge 35 is used to detect the fuel level of the first power supply module 33a, and the fuel indicator device is used to display corresponding fuel indicator information according to the fuel level of the first power supply module 33a. That is, the battery 30 itself also has the function of detecting and displaying the remaining fuel level of the first power supply module 33a. In some embodiments, the fuel gauge 35 may be disposed on a protection board, and the fuel gauge 35 may send the detected remaining fuel level of the first power supply module 33a to an external device or to the processor 40 of an automatic external defibrillator. It can be seen that the fuel gauge 35 may also reflect the communication function in the protection board. In some embodiments, the fuel indicator device may include an indicator light. When the remaining fuel level of the first power supply module 33a is higher than a fuel level threshold, the indicator light is on, and when it is not higher than the fuel level threshold, the indicator light is off, so that the user can understand from the outside of the battery 30 whether the first power supply module 33a needs to be charged. In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the power indicator device includes an indicator switch 37 and multiple indicator lights 38. When the user turns on the indicator switch 37, the multiple indicator lights 38 determine whether to light up according to the remaining power. For example, when the remaining power is 80%, four indicator lights 38 are lit. In some embodiments, the indicator switch 37 and multiple indicator lights 38 are arranged on the first protective plate 34a, and a transparent window facing the indicator lights 38 is opened on the upper shell 31b, and the user can observe the indicator lights 38 and the internal conditions of the battery 30 through the transparent window. In addition, the transparent window can be covered with a PI film, and a hole corresponding to the indicator light 38 is opened on the PI film, and the user can see the lighting of the indicator light 38 through the hole. In some embodiments, a certain thickness of white paint can also be applied at the position of the hole to make the light emitted by the indicator light 38 through the hole more uniform.

[0086] When multiple indicator lights 38 are arranged on the first protective plate 34a, the advantage of fixing the first protective plate 34a on multiple first cylindrical battery cells 331 is that, because components such as the indicator lights 38 are closer to the first cylindrical battery cells 331, the required routing space for the indicator lights 38 is smaller, thereby further reducing the volume of the battery 30.

[0087] In some embodiments, the housing 10 further includes a power interface 113. When the battery 30 is installed in the storage compartment, the power interface 113 is electrically connected to the first power supply module 33a. For example, a metal spring connected to the power interface 113 is provided in the storage compartment, and a corresponding contact is provided on the housing 31. The contact is electrically connected to the first power supply module 33a. When the battery 30 is installed in the storage compartment, the metal spring contacts the contact. When an external power source is connected to the power interface 113, the first power supply module 33a can be charged. It can be seen that the battery 30 can reuse the power interface 113 of the automatic external defibrillator device to charge itself, thereby reducing the occurrence of insufficient power in the first power supply module 33a.

[0088] In some embodiments, the battery 30 further includes a first power switch 36a disposed between the first power supply module 33a and the output terminal 32, and a second power switch 36b disposed between the second power supply module 33b and the output terminal 32. When the first power switch 36a is closed, the output terminal 32 supplies power to the power module 20 based on the power provided by the first power supply module 33a, and when the second power switch 36b is closed, the output terminal 32 supplies power to the power module 20 based on the power provided by the second power supply module 33b. In other words, the automatic external defibrillator can control whether the first power supply module 33a supplies power to the power module 20 or the second power supply module 33b supplies power to the power module 20 by controlling the opening and closing of the first power switch 36a and the second power switch 36b.

[0089] In some embodiments, the first power switch 36a and the second power switch 36b are controlled by the processor 40. The following is a detailed description:

[0090] The processor 40 obtains the first electric energy that the first power supply module 33a can output externally, and obtains the second electric energy that the second power supply module 33b can output externally. The first electric energy can be characterized by parameters such as the voltage that the first power supply module 33a can continuously output externally, the current that is continuously output, and the remaining power, which indicates the power supply capacity of the first power supply module 33a. Similarly, the second electric energy can be characterized by parameters such as the voltage that the second power supply module 33b can continuously output externally, the current that is continuously output, and the remaining power, which indicates the power supply capacity of the second power supply module 33b. In the following, the first electric energy is characterized by the remaining power of the first power supply module 33a, and the second electric energy is characterized by the remaining power of the second power supply module 33b as an example for explanation.

[0091] For the first power supply module 33a, the processor 40 can communicate with the power meter 35 to obtain the remaining power of the first power supply module 33a detected by the power meter 35, and use the remaining power of the first power supply module 33a as the first electrical energy of the first power supply module 33a.

[0092] For the second power supply module 33b, the total power of the second power supply module 33b can be used to subtract the power consumption of the second power supply module 33b to calculate the remaining power of the second power supply module 33b, and then the remaining power of the second power supply module 33b is used as the second electric energy of the second power supply module 33b. In some embodiments, when the second power supply module 33b outputs current to the outside, the processor 40 collects the current output by the second power supply module 33b, integrates the current output by the second power supply module 33b to obtain the power consumption of the second power supply module 33b, or, when the current output by the second power supply module 33b is small, the processor 40 records the output time of the second power supply module 33b outputting current to the outside, and calculates the power consumption of the second power supply module 33b according to the preset power consumption value and output time.

[0093] In some embodiments, after the processor 40 obtains the first electric energy and the second electric energy, the first power switch 36a and the second power switch 36b are controlled according to the magnitude relationship between the first electric energy and the second electric energy, and the magnitude relationship between the first electric energy, the second electric energy and the electric energy required by the power module 20, wherein the electric energy required by the power module 20 is not less than the electric energy required by the power module 20 for one defibrillation shock. If the first electric energy and the second electric energy are higher and not less than the electric energy required by the power module 20, the corresponding power switch is controlled to be closed, for example, if the first electric energy is higher than the second electric energy, and the first electric energy is higher than the electric energy required by the power module 20, the first power switch 36a is controlled to be closed, and the second power switch 36b is controlled to be opened. For another example, if the first electric energy is higher than the second electric energy, but both the first electric energy and the second electric energy are lower than the electric energy required by the power module 20, the processor 40 controls the first power switch 36a to be opened, and also controls the first power switch 36b to be opened.

[0094] In some embodiments, the processor 40 controls the first power switch 36a to open or close according to the first electrical energy and the second electrical energy, and at the same time, controls the second power switch 36b to open or close according to the first electrical energy and the second electrical energy. In other words, whether the output end 32 supplies power to the power-consuming module 20 based on the electrical energy provided by the first power supply module 33a depends not only on the first power supply module 33a itself, but also on the second electrical energy of the second power supply module 33b. Similarly, whether the output end 32 supplies power to the power-consuming module 20 based on the electrical energy provided by the second power supply module 33b depends not only on the second power supply module 33b itself, but also on the first electrical energy of the first power supply module 33a. Specifically:

[0095] When the first electric energy is higher than the preset first minimum threshold and lower than the electric energy required by the power module 20, and the second electric energy is higher than the preset second minimum threshold and lower than the electric energy required by the power module 20, the processor 40 controls the first power switch 36a and the second power switch 36b to be closed, and the output end 32 can supply power to the power module 20 based on the electric energy of the first power supply module 33a and the second power supply module 33b. Both the first minimum threshold and the second minimum threshold are lower than the electric energy required by the power module 20. For example, the first minimum threshold can be half of the electric energy required by the power module 20, and the second minimum threshold is also half of the electric energy required by the power module 20. In the above embodiment, the first power supply module 33a and the second power supply module 33b cannot assume the responsibility of providing electric energy alone, so the first power supply module 33a and the second power supply module 33b share the responsibility of providing electric energy, thereby extending the use time of the automatic external defibrillator, and enabling the automatic external defibrillator to perform defibrillation shock in extreme crisis conditions to save lives. It can be seen that the first power supply module 33a does not necessarily stop supplying power to the power module 20 when the first electric energy does not meet the electric energy required by the power module 20. When the second power supply module 33b cannot independently supply power to the power module 20, the first power supply module 33a still needs to assume the responsibility of supplying power.

[0096] When the second electric energy is not less than the electric energy required by the power module 20, and the first electric energy is less than the electric energy required by the power module 20, the processor 40 controls the first power switch 36a to be disconnected, and controls the second power switch 36b to be closed, that is, the second power supply module 33b provides electric energy at this time. When the second electric energy is not less than the electric energy required by the power module 20, and the first electric energy is not less than the electric energy required by the power module 20, the second power switch 36b is controlled to be disconnected, that is, the second power supply module 33b is not used to provide electric energy at this time. It can be seen that in some embodiments, even if the second electric energy exceeds the electric energy required by the power module 20, the second power supply module 33b may not be used to power the power module 20, but it must be jointly determined based on the first electric energy of the first power supply module 33a.

[0097] It can be seen from this that in the above embodiment, the first power supply module 33a is the "main power supply" of the power module 20. When the first power supply module 33a meets the requirements of the power module 20, it is determined that the first power supply module 33a supplies power to the power module 20. Only when the first power supply module 33a does not meet the requirements of the power module 20, the "power supply responsibility" is considered to be handed over to the second power supply module 33b. The advantage of using the first power supply module 33a as the "main power supply" of the power module 20 is that the first power supply module 33a is easy to charge and the cost is low. At the same time, using the second power supply module 33b as a backup for power supply can provide insurance for the operation of the automatic external defibrillator and avoid insufficient power of the defibrillator due to the user forgetting to charge.

[0098] In some embodiments, Fig.11 As shown, there is no first power switch 36a between the first power supply module 33a and the output terminal 32, that is, they are kept in a connected state, and there is no second power switch 36b between the second power supply module 33b and the output terminal 32, and they are also kept in a connected state. The one with a higher output voltage among the first power supply module 33a and the second power supply module 33b provides power to the output terminal 32, that is, in this embodiment, it is not specifically controlled which power supply module provides power to the output terminal 32, but it is determined which power supply module provides power based on the voltage or potential of the two power supply modules themselves.

[0099] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned method of "the one with the higher output voltage among the first power supply module 33a and the second power supply module 33b provides power to the output terminal 32" is adopted, and the battery cell configuration inside the power supply module is set so that when both power supply modules are in a fully charged state (100% power), the voltage output by the first power supply module 33a is higher than the voltage output by the second power supply module 33b. In this way, when the first power supply module 33a and the second power supply module 33b are both fully charged, the first power supply module 33a first provides power to the output terminal 32. After the voltage of the power output provided by the first power supply module 33a is reduced, the second power supply module 33b can provide power to the output terminal 32.

[0100] When the first power supply module 33a is used as the main power supply and the second power supply module 33b is used as the backup to provide power to the output terminal 32, the distance between the first power supply module 33a and the output terminal 32 can be set to be smaller than the distance between the second power supply module 33b and the output terminal 32, so that the length of the electrical connection line between the first power supply module 33a and the output terminal 32 is smaller than the length of the electrical connection line between the second power supply module 33b and the output terminal 32, thereby reducing the loss of power. It is understandable that if the second power supply module 33b is used as the main power supply and the first power supply module 33a is used as the backup, the distance between the second power supply module 33b and the output terminal 32 can be set to be smaller than the distance between the first power supply module 33a and the output terminal 32, so that the length of the electrical connection line between the second power supply module 33b and the output terminal 32 is smaller than the length of the electrical connection line between the first power supply module 33a and the output terminal 32. In some embodiments, it is also possible as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the distance between the second power supply module 33 b and the output end 32 is smaller than the distance between the first power supply module 33 a and the output end 32 .
