Description

Technical Field

[0002] Electromagnetic focused shock wave technology uses an electroacoustic energy converter to generate high-energy shock wave energy, which is focused by an acoustic lens and then transmitted to a specific part. The shock wave energy produces physical and physiological effects on the internal tissues of the human body, thereby achieving the purpose of treatment.

[0003] The acoustic lens is a key factor influencing the focusing effect of sound waves. Previous studies have proposed a three-medium acoustic wave propagation path design: a vibrating plate-water-acoustic lens-human tissue. The core of this design is the effective focusing of sound waves through the shape of the acoustic lens. However, most current acoustic lens designs only consider the geometric focus of the sound rays after refraction under Snell's law, using a circular arc structure at both ends to achieve shock wave focusing. This approach does not fully account for the wave interference effect during sound propagation, resulting in inaccurate focus position. Summary of the Invention

[0043] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

Based on the embodiments of the present application, each other embodiment obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work falls within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0044] First, the application scenarios to which this application is applicable are introduced. This application can be applied in the field of electromagnetic focused shock wave technology.

[0045] Electromagnetic focused shock wave technology uses an electroacoustic energy converter to generate high-energy shock wave energy, which is focused by an acoustic lens and then transmitted to a specific part. The shock wave energy produces physical and physiological effects on the internal tissues of the human body, thereby achieving the purpose of treatment.

[0046] Research has found that the acoustic lens is a key factor influencing the focusing effect of sound waves. Previous studies have proposed a three-medium acoustic wave propagation path design: a vibrating plate-water-acoustic lens-human tissue. The core of this design is the effective focusing of sound waves through the shape of the acoustic lens. However, most current acoustic lens designs only consider the geometric focus of the sound rays after refraction under Snell's law, using a circular arc structure at both ends to achieve shock wave focusing. This approach does not fully account for the wave interference effects during sound propagation, resulting in inaccurate focus position.

[0047] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a design method for an electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens, which improves the design accuracy of the electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens and also improves the therapeutic effect of electromagnetic focused shock wave therapy.

[0048] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a design method for an electromagnetic focusing shock wave acoustic lens provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown in , the design method of the electromagnetic focusing shock wave acoustic lens provided in the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0049] S101, obtaining initial design parameters of an electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens, and inputting the initial design parameters into an acoustic wave mathematical model to establish a three-dimensional model of the electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens, thereby obtaining a three-dimensional acoustic lens model.

[0050] Here, the initial design parameters include the acoustic lens thickness l, the theoretical focal position f, and the angle α between the initial acoustic wave emission direction and the radial direction of the planar vibrator. Specifically, in an electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens, the focal position refers to the area where the energy of the sound wave is concentrated and the sound pressure reaches its maximum after passing through the acoustic lens. The focal position is a key parameter in acoustic lens design, directly affecting the focusing effect of the shock wave and the application effect. The angle α between the initial acoustic wave emission direction and the radial direction of the planar vibrator is related to the planar vibrator parameters and the coil parameters, and is a parameter affected by the coupling of multiple physical factors.

[0051] In the embodiments provided herein, the mathematical model of acoustic waves includes multiple media for acoustic wave propagation. Here, as an example, the mathematical model of acoustic waves can include three media for acoustic wave propagation: medium 1 is a cooling medium, medium 2 is an acoustic lens material, and medium 3 is human tissue. The acoustic waves emitted by the vibrating plate pass through medium 1 and enter the acoustic lens. Medium 1, the cooling medium, serves to conduct the sound waves and cool the vibrating plate and coil. Medium 2, the acoustic lens material, serves to focus the acoustic waves emitted by the vibrating plate. Medium 3, the human tissue, serves as the target area for the shock wave.

[0052] In the specific implementation of step S101, the design parameters of the electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens are first preliminarily set. Initial design parameters of the electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens are obtained, including the acoustic lens thickness l, the theoretical focal position f, and the angle α between the initial acoustic wave emission direction and the radial direction of the planar vibrating plate. These initial design parameters are then input into a pre-established acoustic wave mathematical model to construct a three-dimensional model of the electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens, thereby obtaining a three-dimensional acoustic lens model.

[0053] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a diagram showing the structure of an electromagnetic acoustic lens focusing shock waves provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the shape of the acoustic lens can be simplified to the inner curve f1(x), the outer curve f2(x), and the thickness l of the acoustic lens. A three-dimensional model of the acoustic lens can be constructed based on the numerical solutions of the inner and outer curves f1(x), f2(x), and the thickness l. Therefore, the three-dimensional model of the acoustic lens is constructed using the lens thickness, the inner and outer curves. The acoustic lens is a solid of revolution symmetrical about its central axis. The design of the acoustic lens allows the acoustic wave to focus on the central axis of the tissue domain. The focal position, the energy flux density of the focused shock wave, and the size of the shock wave focal zone all directly affect the therapeutic effect. Therefore, the acoustic lens must be precisely designed to ensure that the shock wave achieves the desired effect at the specified location.

[0054] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a mathematical model of an electromagnetic focused shock wave provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3As shown, the initial direction of acoustic emission is set vertically upward. A vertical acoustic ray is emitted from any point O1 on the x-axis and enters medium 1 (sound velocity c1, density ρ1). After passing through the curve f1(x) below the acoustic lens, it is refracted. The angle of incidence at point A is offset from the normal direction of f1(x) by a certain angle, which can be determined by Snell's theorem. It then intersects with f2(x) at point B and is refracted again, ultimately converging at a focal point F. Under this mathematical model, all rays emitted on the x-axis should reach the focal point F simultaneously, and the acoustic ray trajectory is O1ABF. The y-axis is the geometric center axis of the acoustic lens's rotating body, and the x-axis is the radial direction of the vibrating plate. Coordinates of each point: Point O (0,0) is the origin; Point O1 (m,0) is an arbitrary point on the x-axis from which an acoustic ray originates; Point A (m,f1(m)) is the intersection point where the acoustic ray enters the acoustic lens from water; Point B (n,f2(n)) is the intersection point where the acoustic ray enters human tissue from the acoustic lens; Point O2 (0,l) is the focal point between the thickness of the acoustic lens and the central line; and F (0,f) is the assumed theoretical focal point. θ1 is the incident angle of the acoustic ray at point A; θ'1 is the exit angle of the acoustic ray at point A. θ2 is the incident angle of the acoustic ray at point B; θ'2 is the exit angle of the acoustic ray at point B. α is the angle between the initial emission direction of the acoustic wave and the x-axis. After establishing the mathematical model, three constraints are added: According to Snell's theorem, refraction occurs in two adjacent media due to different sound velocities; and due to the wave properties of sound waves, it is necessary to prevent the sound waves from canceling each other out when converging at the focal point.

[0055] As an optional embodiment, with respect to the above step S101, inputting the initial design parameters into an acoustic wave mathematical model to establish a three-dimensional model of the electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens to obtain a three-dimensional acoustic lens model includes:

[0056] Step 1011 : Based on the geometric relationship and constraint equations of the acoustic wave mathematical model, a nonlinear differential equation group is established using the initial design parameters.

[0057] Regarding step 1011, during implementation, a nonlinear differential equation system is established using the initial design parameters l, f, and α based on the geometric relationships and constraint equations of the constructed acoustic wave mathematical model. Here, the nonlinear differential equation system is a nonlinear differential equation system involving f1(x), f2(x), f'1(x), and f'2(x), with initial input conditions l, f, and α and an independent variable x.

[0058] Step 1012: Solve the nonlinear differential equations to obtain a numerical solution of the inner curve of the acoustic lens and a numerical solution of the outer curve of the acoustic lens.

[0059] Step 1013: construct a three-dimensional model of the acoustic lens according to the numerical solution of the inner curve of the acoustic lens, the numerical solution of the outer curve of the acoustic lens, and the thickness of the acoustic lens.

[0060] During the specific implementation of steps 1012 and 1013, the nonlinear differential equations constructed in step 1011 are solved. Specifically, mathematical calculation software is used to solve the nonlinear differential equations to obtain the numerical solutions for the inner curve f1(x) of the acoustic lens and the outer curve f2(x) of the acoustic lens. At this point, a three-dimensional model of the acoustic lens can be constructed based on the numerical solutions for the inner curve f1(x), the outer curve f2(x), and the thickness l of the acoustic lens, thereby obtaining a three-dimensional model of the acoustic lens.

[0061] S102, importing the three-dimensional model of the acoustic lens into a finite element calculation model, obtaining a time-domain curve of the sound pressure at each measurement point outside the electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens through finite element simulation, and taking the measurement point with the highest sound pressure amplitude among the multiple measurement points as the simulation focus position.

[0062] The principle of electroacoustic energy conversion in electromagnetic focused shock waves is to use an oscillating current to excite a coil. This creates mutual induction between the coil and the vibrating plate, generating a mutual induction current within the vibrating plate. The interaction between the mutual induction current and the magnetic field generated by the coil generates an electromagnetic force within the vibrating plate, causing it to vibrate. The greater the coil inductance, the greater the intensity of the initial sound wave emitted by the vibrating plate. The initial direction of the sound wave emitted by the vibrating plate is unknown and can only be determined through finite element simulation. Each measurement point outside the electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens represents the location within the space outside the lens where the sound wave propagates after being focused by the lens. Specifically, during finite element simulation, the sound pressure at each measurement point outside the lens is measured and analyzed to assess the focusing effect of the sound wave. These measurements include key locations along the sound wave propagation path, such as points near and around the focal point. The time-domain sound pressure curves at the measurement points reflect the sound pressure levels at different points in time. This time-domain sound pressure curve can be used to assess the sound pressure distribution at different locations, thereby verifying whether the acoustic lens design achieves the desired focusing effect.

[0063] During the implementation of step S102, the established three-dimensional acoustic lens model is imported into a finite element calculation model. The assembly structure relationships of the various components and the required high-frequency pulse current are set. Finite element simulation is then performed to calculate the time-domain sound pressure curve for each measurement point outside the electromagnetic focused shockwave acoustic lens. The measurement point with the highest sound pressure amplitude in the finite element simulation results is then identified and used as the simulation focal point.

[0064] S103 , when the simulated focal position is the same as the theoretical focal position, calculating shock wave parameters and shock wave focal zone size based on a time-domain curve of sound pressure at each point outside the electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens.

[0065] Here, as an example, the shock wave parameters may include sound pressure peak, pulse width, rise time, fall time, etc., and the shock wave focal zone size may include focal length, focal zone depth, focal zone width, etc., which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0066] Regarding the above step S103, during the specific implementation, it is first determined whether the simulated focal position determined in the above step S102 is the same as the theoretical focal position in the initial design parameters. If they are the same, the shock wave parameters and the shock wave focal area size are calculated based on the sound pressure time domain curve of each point outside the electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens.

[0067] As an optional embodiment, the design method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes:

[0068] When the simulated focal position is different from the theoretical focal position, the angle between the initial emission direction of the sound wave in the initial design parameters and the radial direction of the planar vibration plate is adjusted, and the step of inputting the initial design parameters into the sound wave mathematical model to establish a three-dimensional model of the electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens to obtain a three-dimensional model of the acoustic lens is returned to, until the simulated focal position is the same as the theoretical focal position.

[0069] Regarding the above steps, during specific implementation, if the simulated focal position calculated by the finite element simulation is different from the theoretical focal position in the initial design parameters, it indicates that the actual emission direction of the sound wave is different from the initial setting. In this case, it is necessary to adjust the angle α between the initial emission direction of the sound wave in the initial design parameters and the radial direction of the planar vibrating plate. Then, the process returns to step S101, inputting the initial design parameters into the acoustic wave mathematical model to establish a three-dimensional model of the electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens, thereby obtaining a three-dimensional acoustic lens model, until the simulated focal position calculated by the finite element simulation is the same as the set theoretical focal position. In this way, through iterative calculations of the mathematical model and finite element simulation, the focal position of the shock wave can be determined, and the shape of the acoustic lens in which the theoretical focal point coincides with the actual focal point can be iteratively optimized.

[0070] S104. When it is determined that the shock wave parameters and the size of the shock wave focal zone meet the preset design requirements, the thickness of the acoustic lens, the inner curve of the acoustic lens, and the outer curve of the acoustic lens are determined as target design parameters of the electromagnetic focusing shock wave acoustic lens, so as to manufacture the electromagnetic focusing shock wave acoustic lens according to the target design parameters.

[0071] Regarding step S104 above, during specific implementation, after the shock wave parameters and shock wave focal zone size calculated in step S103 are determined, a determination is made as to whether they meet the preset design requirements. Here, as an example, when the shock wave parameter is peak sound pressure, the preset design requirement requires ensuring that the peak sound pressure is sufficiently high to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. For example, the preset design requirement may set the peak sound pressure to be greater than 8 MPa. When the shock wave focal zone size includes focal zone depth and focal zone width, the preset design requirement requires ensuring that the focal zone depth and focal zone width are moderate, neither too large nor too small, to ensure that the energy is concentrated in the target area. For example, the preset design requirement may set the focal zone depth and focal zone width to be less than 3 mm, respectively. The shock wave parameters and shock wave focal zone size calculated in step S103 are compared with the preset design requirements. Here, continuing with the above example, when the peak sound pressure is 10 MPa, the focal zone depth is 2 mm, and the focal zone width is 2 mm, it is considered to meet the preset design requirements. When it is determined that the shock wave parameters and the size of the shock wave focal zone meet the preset design requirements, the thickness of the acoustic lens, the inner curve of the acoustic lens, and the outer curve of the acoustic lens are determined as the target design parameters of the electromagnetic focusing shock wave acoustic lens, so that the electromagnetic focusing shock wave acoustic lens is manufactured according to the target design parameters.

[0072] As an optional embodiment, the design method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes:

[0073] When it is determined that the shock wave parameters and the shock wave focal zone size do not meet the preset design requirements, the acoustic lens thickness and the theoretical focal position in the initial design parameters are adjusted, and the process returns to the step of inputting the initial design parameters into the acoustic wave mathematical model to establish a three-dimensional model of the electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens to obtain a three-dimensional model of the acoustic lens, until the shock wave parameters and the shock wave focal zone size meet the preset design requirements.

[0074] Regarding the above steps, during specific implementation, if the shock wave parameters and shock wave focal zone size calculated in step S103 do not meet the design requirements, the acoustic lens thickness and the theoretical focal position in the initial design parameters need to be adjusted. The process then returns to step S101, where the initial design parameters are input into the acoustic wave mathematical model to construct a three-dimensional model of the electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens, thereby obtaining a three-dimensional acoustic lens model. This process continues until the shock wave parameters and shock wave focal zone size meet the preset design requirements. In this way, through iterative calculations using the mathematical model and finite element simulation, it is possible to ensure that the shock wave under the current design parameters meets the design requirements, with strict requirements for the shock wave energy flux density, focal zone position, and size. This ensures that the subsequently produced acoustic lens is more accurate and avoids damage to the human body.

[0075] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flow chart of another design method of an electromagnetic focusing shock wave acoustic lens provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, first, a mathematical model is set, and initial design parameters are set at the same time. Then, the shape of the acoustic lens is calculated through the mathematical model. The position of the acoustic lens focus, shock wave parameters and shock wave focal area size are calculated through finite element simulation. It is judged whether the simulated focal position coincides with the theoretical focal position. If not, the angle between the initial emission direction of the acoustic wave in the initial design parameters and the radial direction of the plane vibration plate is adjusted for iterative calculation. If so, it is continued to judge whether the shock wave parameters and shock wave focal area parameters meet expectations. If not, the acoustic lens thickness and the theoretical focal position in the initial design parameters are adjusted for iterative calculation. If so, the target design parameters are determined to make the acoustic lens.

[0076] The design method of the electromagnetic focusing shock wave acoustic lens provided in the embodiment of the present application first obtains initial design parameters of the electromagnetic focusing shock wave acoustic lens, and inputs the initial design parameters into the acoustic wave mathematical model to establish a three-dimensional model of the electromagnetic focusing shock wave acoustic lens, thereby obtaining a three-dimensional model of the acoustic lens; wherein the initial design parameters include the thickness of the acoustic lens, the theoretical focal position, and the angle between the initial emission direction of the acoustic wave and the radial direction of the planar vibrating plate, the acoustic wave mathematical model is set with multiple media for acoustic wave propagation, and the three-dimensional model of the acoustic lens is constructed by the thickness of the acoustic lens, the inner curve of the acoustic lens, and the outer curve of the acoustic lens; then, the three-dimensional model of the acoustic lens is imported into a finite element calculation model, and the finite element method is used to calculate the acoustic lens. The time-domain curve of the sound pressure of each measuring point outside the electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens is simulated, and the measuring point with the highest sound pressure amplitude among the multiple measuring points is used as the simulated focal position; when the simulated focal position is the same as the theoretical focal position, the shock wave parameters and the shock wave focal zone size are calculated based on the time-domain curve of the sound pressure of each point outside the electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens; finally, when it is judged that the shock wave parameters and the shock wave focal zone size meet the preset design requirements, the thickness of the acoustic lens, the inner curve of the acoustic lens, and the outer curve of the acoustic lens are determined as the target design parameters of the electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens, so that the electromagnetic focused shock wave acoustic lens is manufactured according to the target design parameters.

[0077] This application establishes a mathematical model for the propagation and refraction of sound waves in various media. After determining the thickness and theoretical focal position, finite element simulation is used to calculate the simulated focal position and shock wave parameters. This determines the shape of the acoustic lens in which the theoretical and actual focal points coincide, ensuring that the sound waves are focused at the specified location. This improves the design accuracy of the electromagnetic shock wave focusing acoustic lens, reduces the offset of the electromagnetic focused shock wave focal position, improves the focusing performance, and also enhances the therapeutic effect of electromagnetic focused shock wave therapy.
