Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a steam temperature control device and method based on impedance detection. Background Technology

[0002] During the steam ablation treatment of the prostate, it is necessary to accurately control the steam to avoid excessive steam overflow that could burn the urethra and other healthy tissues in the prostate, while also avoiding insufficient steam heat that could lead to poor treatment results.

[0003] In related technologies, in the prostate steam ablation system, the ablation handle and the K-type thermocouple for measuring the temperature of the ablation tube are welded to the steam coil. Welding between the two materials (nickel-chromium alloy) of the K-type thermocouple and the material of the steam coil (chromium-nickel-iron alloy tube) is difficult and the processing cost is high. The wall of the steam coil is relatively thin, and it is easy to burn through during the welding process. The weld point is too small and the thermocouple is easy to fall off in the later production.

[0004] Furthermore, the temperature is measured by a K-type thermocouple welded to the steam coil. During the treatment control process, the steam power supply sends power, the steam sending tube heats up, and the temperature changes are measured by the thermocouple. The temperature of the steam sending tube is detected by the thermocouple. There is a 2-3 second lag effect, which causes the controller to only output constant power to the steam coil. It cannot achieve closed-loop temperature adjustment of the steam coil through temperature, resulting in fluctuations in the heat output of water vapor in the steam coil and unstable surgical treatment effect.

[0005] In addition, there is a 2-3 second lag effect between the heating of the steam coil and the detection of the temperature change by the thermocouple. When the control detects that the temperature has exceeded the protection temperature, the temperature of the steam coil has already exceeded the protection temperature 3 seconds ago, which can easily cause the thermal protection of the ablation handle to fail, thus causing the ablation handle to burn out. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in related technologies. To this end, this invention proposes a steam temperature control device based on impedance detection, which aims to measure temperature by detecting changes in the impedance of a steam coil, thereby ensuring the stability of the steam heat output of the thermal steam ablation equipment while reducing costs.

[0007] This invention also proposes a steam temperature control method.

[0008] The steam temperature control device based on impedance detection according to a first aspect of the present invention includes:

[0009] An ablation handle, the ablation handle being used to output steam;

[0010] A steam coil is disposed on the ablation handle. The steam coil is used to heat sterile water into steam. The steam coil includes an input section, a coil section, an output section, a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal. The input section, the coil section, and the output section are connected in sequence. One end of the first terminal is connected to the output section, one end of the second terminal is connected to the input section, and one end of the third terminal is connected to the coil section.

The first port is connected to the first terminal through a wire, the second port is connected to the second terminal through a wire, and the third port is connected to the third terminal through a wire.

[0012] The steam temperature control device based on impedance detection according to an embodiment of the present invention sets the steam output temperature and obtains the feedback temperature by measuring the resistance of the steam coil, thus performing closed-loop control for more stable control of the output steam temperature. The temperature calculated from the resistance of the steam coil itself is an electrical signal transmission, resulting in rapid response and strong controllability. Compared with using thermocouples to measure the steam coil, there is no heat transfer delay, and the real-time performance is better. Closed-loop control of the steam coil head temperature ensures strong consistency in the output steam heat, resulting in stable ablation effects in prostate steam ablation. Specifically, by measuring the temperature of the steam coil by measuring its impedance, the device solves the problems of difficult K-type thermocouple wire welding and easy detachment after long-term placement, as well as the problem of thermocouple temperature measurement delay leading to burnt ablation handle. Direct closed-loop control of the steam coil temperature improves the consistency of the steam heat output from the ablation handle, thereby enhancing the consistency of the ablation procedure.

[0049] Please refer to the reference. Figures 1 to 3 According to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, a steam temperature control device based on impedance detection includes: an ablation handle, a steam coil 11, and a steam temperature control system 14.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the ablation handle is used to output steam. The ablation handle includes a housing, an infusion tube 12, a steam delivery needle 15, and a trigger button 13. A steam coil 11 is disposed in the housing, and a steam temperature control system 14 is disposed in the steam ablation host. The infusion tube 12 is connected to the input section 24 of the steam coil 11. The steam delivery needle 15 is disposed in the housing and is connected to the output section 21 of the steam coil 11 for outputting steam. The trigger button 13 is disposed in the housing for triggering steam to be output from the steam output needle. It can be understood that the trigger button 13 is used to trigger the software controller 301 to control sterile water to be delivered from the lower part of the steam coil 11 through the infusion tube 12. Under the heating control of the steam coil 11, the sterile water is heated into steam, flows through the upper part of the steam coil 11, and is output from the steam output needle to the lesion for treatment. It should be noted that the steam coil 11 has a conveying channel in which sterile water is conveyed and heated into steam; the steam temperature control system 14 is a control board installed in the steam ablation host, and the trigger button 13 is electrically connected to it through wires to control the steam output.

[0051] like Figure 2As shown, a steam coil 11 is disposed on the ablation handle. The steam coil 11 is used to heat sterile water into steam. The steam coil 11 includes an input section 24, a coil section 22, an output section 21, a first terminal 23, a second terminal 25, and a third terminal 27. The input section 24, the coil section 22, and the output section 21 are connected in sequence. One end of the first terminal 23 is connected to the output section 21, one end of the second terminal 25 is connected to the input section 24, and one end of the third terminal 27 is connected to the coil section 22. For example, the coil section 22 is formed by winding, and its two ends are respectively connected to the input section 24 and the output section 21. The input section 24 has a liquid inlet, and the output section 21 has a liquid outlet. The liquid inlet is used to connect to the infusion tube 12 for conveying sterile water, and the upper liquid outlet is used to connect to the infusion tube 12 for conveying steam, so as to output steam at the ablation handle. The first terminal 23 is connected to the output section 21, the second terminal 25 is connected to the input section 24, and the third terminal 27 is connected to the coil section 22, which allows the heating current to cover the entire steam coil 11 and improves the heating uniformity.

[0052] It should be noted that the section of the steam coil 11 located between the first terminal 23 and the third terminal 27 is the head of the steam coil 11, which is used to measure the voltage at the head of the steam coil.

[0053] like Figure 3 The diagram shows the connection between the steam temperature control system 14 and the steam coil 11. The steam temperature control system 14 is located in the steam ablation host. The electrical model 305 is a circuit model of the steam coil 11, used to represent the circuit connections. It should be noted that the head resistor 306 represents the resistance of the section of the steam coil 11 between the first terminal 23 and the third terminal 27, while the bottom resistor 307 represents the resistance of the section of the steam coil 11 between the third terminal 27 and the second terminal 25. The steam temperature control system 14 includes a power output module 302, a detection module 303, a sampling resistor 310, a first circuit, a second circuit, and a third circuit.

[0054] For example, one end of the first circuit is connected to the power output module 302, and the other end is provided with a first port 304. One end of the second circuit is connected to the detection module 303, and the other end is provided with a second port 308. One end of the third circuit is connected to the power output module 302, and the other end is provided with a third port 309. The detection module 303 is electrically connected to the first circuit and the third circuit respectively. The sampling resistor 310 is provided in the third circuit, and the two ends of the sampling resistor 310 are electrically connected to the detection module 303. The first port 304 is connected to the first terminal 23 through a wire. The second port 308 is connected to the second terminal 25 through a wire. The third port 309 is connected to the third terminal 27 through a wire.

[0055] In other words, one end of the first circuit is led out from the power output module 302, and the other end is connected to the head resistor 306. One end of the second circuit is connected to the detection module 303, and the other end is connected between the head resistor 306 and the bottom resistor 307. One end of the third circuit is connected to the power output module 302, and the other end is connected to the bottom resistor 307. The detection module 303 is electrically connected to both the first and third circuits. The sampling resistor 310 is located in the third circuit, and its two ends are electrically connected to the detection module 303. Specifically, the first circuit has a first port 304, which is connected to the first terminal 23 via a wire. The second circuit has a second port 308, which is connected to the second terminal 25 via a wire. The third circuit has a third port 309, which is connected to the third terminal 27 via a wire.

[0056] Steam temperature control system 14 measurement process: The first terminal 23, the third terminal 27, and the second terminal 25 of the steam coil 11 are connected to the first port 304, the second port 308, and the third port 309, respectively, as shown in the figure. Figure 3 As shown. The output current of the power output module 302 flows from the first port 304 through the first terminal 23, through the steam coil 11, out through the second terminal 25, and back to the power output module 302 from the third port 309. The detection module 303 measures the voltage between the first port 304 and the third port 309 as the overall voltage V1 of the steam coil, and the voltage between the first port 304 and the second port 308 as the head voltage V2 of the steam coil. The sampling resistor 310 measures the current I. The ratio of V1 to current I is calculated to obtain the overall resistance Rt of the steam coil 11, and the ratio of V2 to current I is calculated to obtain the head resistance Rh of the steam coil 11.

[0057] The relationship between the resistance and temperature of steam coil 11 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the resistance of the steam coil 11 is 1 ohm at room temperature (20 degrees Celsius) and 1.124 ohms at 200 degrees Celsius; the relationship between the resistance 306 at the head of the steam coil 11 and temperature is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the resistance of the head of the steam coil 11 is 50 milliohms at room temperature (20 degrees Celsius) and 62.45 milliohms at 200 degrees Celsius. By measuring the resistance of the steam coil 11 and the head resistance of 306 ohms using the steam temperature control system 14, the overall temperature and the head temperature of the steam coil 11 can be calculated. Of course, the resistance varies depending on the size, material, and other structural features of different steam coils 11. Specifically, the current temperature can be determined by measuring the resistance of the steam coil 11 at room temperature and how its resistance changes with temperature, thus achieving the purpose of temperature detection.

[0058] The relationship between the resistance and temperature of steam coil 11 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the temperature of the steam coil 11 and its resistance are linearly related within a certain range; the steam temperature control system 14 controls the temperature of the head of the steam coil 11 to ensure the temperature at which the water vapor leaves the steam coil 11; and controls the overall temperature of the steam coil 11 to ensure the temperature of the sterile water within the steam coil 11. The flowchart for the resistance control of the steam coil 11 is shown below. Figure 6 As shown, the temperature of the steam coil 11 is set according to the required steam temperature. The target resistance of the coil is obtained by analyzing the relationship between coil temperature and resistance. The resistance of the steam coil 11 is fed back through a measuring circuit. The target resistance and the feedback resistance are input into the controller 301. The controller 301 is a closed-loop controller. The coil resistance provides real-time feedback on the coil temperature, resulting in a high overall loop speed. The controller 301 can adjust the frequency very frequently, ensuring good dynamic performance and high stability of the steam coil 11. This maintains the stability of the heat output from the ablation handle and the consistency of the treatment effect. By controlling the resistance of the steam coil 11, the temperature of the steam coil 11 can be controlled, thereby controlling the temperature of the output steam and ensuring the stability of the output heat.

[0059] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the steam temperature control device based on impedance detection sets the steam output temperature and then obtains the feedback temperature by measuring the resistance of the steam coil 11, performing closed-loop control for more stable control of the output steam temperature. The temperature calculated using the resistance of the steam coil 11 itself is an electrical signal transmission, resulting in rapid response and strong controllability. Compared with measuring the steam coil 11 using a thermocouple, there is no heat transfer delay, and the real-time performance is better. Closed-loop control of the steam coil 11 head temperature ensures strong consistency in the output steam heat, resulting in stable ablation effects in prostate steam ablation. Specifically, measuring the temperature by measuring the impedance of the steam coil 11 solves the problems of difficult K-type thermocouple wire welding and easy detachment after long-term placement, as well as the problem of thermocouple temperature measurement delay leading to burnt ablation handle.

[0060] In one embodiment, the power output module 302 can control either DC voltage regulation or voltage PWM. When the control mode is DC voltage regulation, current sampling can be performed throughout the entire operating cycle. When the voltage PWM mode is used, current sampling is performed within the voltage window during operation. When the control mode is DC voltage regulation, DC voltage interference is small, which can improve the system's EMC performance.

[0061] In one embodiment, the detection module 303 is a voltage and current measurement module used to measure the voltage of the steam coil 11, the head voltage of the coil segment 22, and the current flowing through it. The detection module 303 has a high impedance input at the megaohm level, which results in a small shunt to the steam coil 11 and a small impact on the power output, thereby improving the measurement accuracy.

[0062] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the third terminal 27 is connected to one end of the coil segment 22 adjacent to the output segment 21. Exemplarily, the steam coil 11 is fed from bottom to top. The steam temperature control system 14 controls sterile water at room temperature (20 degrees Celsius) to flow in through the bottom inlet. After being heated by the steam coil 11, it becomes steam at 103 degrees Celsius and flows out through the top outlet. Therefore, the temperature of the steam coil 11 increases from bottom to top. The end of the coil segment 22 adjacent to the output segment 21 is the head, which is the area with the highest temperature. Controlling the head temperature controls the final heating temperature of the steam. Therefore, the third terminal 27 is connected to one end of the coil segment 22 adjacent to the output segment 21. Optionally, the connection position of the third terminal 27 is set at 1 / 20 of the distance from the output segment 21 on the coil segment 22, to measure the voltage at the head of the coil segment 22 and monitor the temperature at the head of the coil.

[0063] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the resistance ratio of the steam coil 11 to the resistance of the wire is higher than 200:1. For example, the wire connecting the terminals is No. 7 wire, preferably made of copper, with a total wire resistance of 4 milliohms. The steam coil 11 receives the vast majority of the electrical power. The low resistance consumed by the wires and the small power they bear help reduce heat generation in the circuit and improve heating efficiency. The small proportion of power consumed by the wires also reduces the impact of wire inconsistency on the entire system and helps improve output consistency.

[0064] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the overall resistance of the steam coil 11 is 1 ohm at 20 degrees Celsius, so as to facilitate parameter adjustment and temperature detection based on resistance changes.

[0065] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the steam temperature control system 14 further includes a controller 301, which is electrically connected to the power output module 302 and the detection module 303, respectively. It is understood that the controller 301 is used to control the power output module 302 and the detection module 303 to operate or stop.

[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first terminal 23, the second terminal 25, and the third terminal 27 are all provided with terminal rings 26, each terminal ring 26 being connected to a wire, facilitating wire connection and ensuring a stable and reliable connection. Furthermore, each terminal ring 26 is provided with a soldering hole, thereby improving the ease of connection.

[0067] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the steam coil 11 is made of 316L stainless steel. In this embodiment, the steam coil 11 and the first terminal 23, the second terminal 25, and the third terminal 27 are all made of 306L stainless steel. 316L stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and good mechanical strength. Under high temperature and harsh environments, 316L stainless steel exhibits excellent performance, among which the characteristic of resistivity changing with temperature is particularly critical. Since 316L stainless steel also has a low carbon content, it will not form harmful carbides at high temperatures, avoiding the risk of intergranular corrosion. At the same time, the steam coil 11 and the first terminal 23, the second terminal 25, and the third terminal 27 are made of the same material, which is easy to weld, simple to process, and low in cost.

[0068] Please refer to the reference. Figure 6 and Figure 8 According to a second aspect embodiment of the steam temperature control method of the present invention, the above-described impedance-based steam temperature control device is applied, and the steps include:

[0069] In preheating mode, sterile water is heated to 90-95 degrees Celsius while simultaneously pushing sterile water into steam coil 11. This preheating mode can also be a standby mode, in which sterile water is heated to 95 degrees Celsius while simultaneously pushing sterile water into steam coil 11 at a low and constant rate to maintain the pressure in the ablation handle's tubing and prevent backflow. When steam is needed, it can be quickly heated to form steam, reducing waiting time.

[0070] In treatment mode, sterile water inside the steam coil 11 is heated into steam. The temperature of the end of coil segment 22 adjacent to output segment 21 is controlled between 135°C and 145°C, controlling the steam output from the ablation handle. In treatment mode, the head temperature of coil segment 22 is controlled at 140°C, and the output steam temperature is 103°C. After the controller 301 is started, it enters standby mode. After the standby mode is completed, it can be started to enter treatment mode, and after the treatment mode is completed, it returns to standby mode. When the controller 301 switches from standby mode to treatment mode, the head of the steam coil 11 heats up rapidly, as shown in the curve. Figure 7 As shown, it reaches the specified temperature within 1.4 seconds, exhibiting a fast response speed and the ability to produce steam upon triggering.

[0071] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the temperature of one end of coil segment 22 adjacent to output segment 21 is higher than the alarm temperature, the output of power output module 302 is shut off. That is, when the head temperature of steam coil 11 is higher than the alarm temperature, a protection mechanism is triggered, shutting off the output of the power module to protect steam coil 11. Compared to measuring the temperature of steam coil 11 using a thermocouple, where the heat transfer from steam coil 11 to the thermocouple has a 2-3 second delay, resulting in protection lag, temperature measurement using the resistance of steam coil 11 itself involves the transmission of an electrical signal, eliminating the reaction delay problem and providing superior protection.

[0072] The steam temperature control method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the above-described impedance-based steam temperature control device, and therefore has all the technical effects of the above-described impedance-based steam temperature control device, which will not be repeated here.

[0073] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and not for limiting the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications, or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions of the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention and should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
