It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in a sequence other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0076] Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application.
[0077] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an ultrasonic ablation system provided in an embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 1The ultrasonic ablation system includes an ultrasonic control device 010, a drive device 020, an ablation catheter 030, and an ultrasonic transducer 041. The drive control terminal 021 of the drive device 020 is connected to the ultrasonic control device 010, and the drive output terminal 022 of the drive device 020 is connected to the first end of the ablation catheter 030. The second end of the ablation catheter 030 is provided with the ultrasonic transducer 041. In one optional embodiment, the ablation catheter 030 and the drive device 020 are pluggable. In another optional embodiment, a catheter tip 040 may be provided at the topmost position of the second end of the ablation catheter 030. The catheter tip 040 may be made of silicone. The catheter tip 040 may serve as a guide when the second end of the ablation catheter 030 is inserted into the human body, thereby reducing the discomfort caused by foreign objects entering the human body. In other optional embodiments, the ultrasonic transducer 041 may also be directly connected to the second end of the ablation catheter 030 (not shown). This embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific configuration of the ultrasonic transducer 041.
[0078] The ultrasonic control device 010 is used to determine the angular interval of the target to be ablated relative to the rotation center of the ultrasonic transducer 041, determine a control signal based on the angular interval, and output the control signal to the drive device 020. The drive device 020 is used to receive the control signal output by the ultrasonic control device 010 and, based on the control signal, drive the ultrasonic transducer 041 to rotate at a set rate. In an optional embodiment, the drive device 020 can drive the ultrasonic transducer 041 to rotate via a transmission mechanism (not shown) of the ablation catheter 030, and control the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 according to the control signal during the rotation of the ultrasonic transducer 041.
[0079] The ultrasonic control device 010 includes, but is not limited to, hardware control devices such as printed circuit boards and integrated circuit chips for performing various functions. These functions include, but are not limited to, logical operations and signal processing. The control signals output by the ultrasonic control device 010 to the driver 020 include, but are not limited to, communication signals such as electrical signals, optical signals, and electromagnetic waves. In an optional embodiment, the control signals output by the ultrasonic control device 010 to the driver 020 may include rate control signals and power control signals to control the rotation rate and output power of the ultrasonic transducer via the driver 020. The driver 020 includes, but is not limited to, components such as a power converter, a motor driver, a motor, and a transmission mechanism. The power converter can convert direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). The motor driver can control the motor's speed, direction, and acceleration. The motor can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. The transmission mechanism can convert the motor's rotation into rotation of the connector between the driver 020 and the ablation catheter 030. The connector can convert the rotation of the transmission mechanism in the driver 020 into rotation of the transmission mechanism in the ablation catheter 030, ultimately driving the rotation of the ultrasonic transducer 041. In an optional embodiment, the driving device 020 may further include a power module (not shown in the figure), which can output an ultrasonic driving waveform to control the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041.
[0080] The ultrasonic transducer 041 can convert electrical energy into ultrasonic waves. The ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic transducer 041 can be precisely focused on the target lesion. By converting the mechanical effect into thermal effect and cavitation effect, the tissue near the target is coagulatively necrotized, thereby achieving non-invasive ablation of the lesion.
[0081] For example, the second end of the ablation catheter 030 can be inserted into a blood vessel near the target to be ablated. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) technology is used to observe the position of the rotation center of the ultrasonic transducer and the target to be ablated using a computer-assisted imaging angiography method. A zero point (0 degrees of the rotation angle of the ultrasonic transducer 041, also referred to as a reference point or starting point) is determined, allowing the ultrasonic control device 010 to determine the angular range of the target to be ablated relative to the rotation center of the ultrasonic transducer 041. The angular range is greater than or equal to 0 degrees and less than or equal to 360 degrees.
[0082] The ultrasonic control device 010 and the driving device 020 are communicatively connected. The ultrasonic control device 010 can output a control signal to the driving device 020 to control the driving device 020. The driving device 020 can receive the control signal output by the ultrasonic control device 010 and, based on the control signal, control the rotation rate and output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041. In an alternative embodiment, the ultrasonic control device 010 can output a rate control signal to the driving device 020, causing the driving device 020 to control the ultrasonic transducer 041 to rotate at a constant rate. When the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates within an angle range, the ultrasonic control device 010 can output a power control signal to the driving device 020, causing the driving device 020 to control the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 to be greater than 0 watts (W). When the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates outside the angle range, the ultrasonic control device 010 can output a power control signal to the driving device 020, causing the driving device 020 to control the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 to be 0 watts (W). Among them, the rotation position of the ultrasonic transducer 041 can be determined by the line connecting the rotation center of the ultrasonic transducer 041 and the target point, or, it can also be determined by the line connecting the rotation center of the ultrasonic transducer 041 and the center of the ultrasonic transducer 041, but is not limited to this. This application does not make any specific limitation on the determination of the rotation position of the ultrasonic transducer 041.
[0083] Based on the above embodiment, the driving device 020 can also control the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 to be 0w before the ultrasonic transducer 041 reaches the set rate, and control the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 to be greater than 0w after the ultrasonic transducer 041 reaches the set rate and when the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates to within the angle range.
[0084] In other optional embodiments, the ultrasonic control device 010 may also use the ultrasonic transducer 041 to scan the target to be ablated, obtain the position of the target to be ablated, and then determine the angular range of the target to be ablated relative to the rotation center of the ultrasonic transducer 041. The embodiment of the present application does not limit how to determine the angular range of the target to be ablated relative to the rotation center of the ultrasonic transducer 041.
[0085] It should be noted that the angle interval is determined by the ultrasonic control device. The angle interval where the lesion is located can be determined through imaging technology and computer assistance, or can be determined by scanning with the ultrasonic transducer 041, or can be determined by other methods. The ultrasonic control device can determine the angle interval where the lesion is located through user input. During the operating time of the ultrasonic ablation system, after the position of the ablation catheter and the zero point of the ultrasonic transducer are determined, the angle interval generally does not change. In an optional embodiment, after the ablation catheter is inserted into the blood vessel and one or more rotational ablations are performed, the size of the lesion may change after the rotational ablation. To avoid excessive ablation, the ultrasonic control device can re-determine the angle interval. At this time, the angle interval may change, and the ultrasonic ablation system can perform ultrasonic ablation according to the new angle interval.
[0086] The ultrasonic ablation system provided in the embodiment of the present application can control and drive the ultrasonic transducer connected to the ablation catheter through an ultrasonic control device and a driving device, and flexibly control the output power of the ultrasonic transducer when it is rotated to different angles according to the angular range of the target to be ablated relative to the rotation center of the ultrasonic transducer; the ultrasonic ablation system, through highly intelligent design and precise control mechanism, can effectively remove the target ablation area while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue, and can adjust the rotation rate and output power of the ultrasonic transducer in real time according to the angular range to ensure safety and accuracy during the ablation process, thereby significantly improving the ablation effect and reducing the risk of complications.
[0087] Optional, continue to refer to Figure 1 A balloon 050 is further disposed on the outer side of the wall of the second end of ablation catheter 030. The ultrasonic ablation system also includes an irrigation pump 060. At least one liquid pipeline (not shown) may also be disposed within the cavity of ablation catheter 030. One end of the liquid pipeline may be connected to irrigation pump 060, and the other end of the liquid pipeline may be connected to balloon 050. Irrigation pump 060 is also in communication with ultrasonic control device 010. Ultrasonic control device 010 may output a liquid control signal to irrigation pump 060. Irrigation pump 060 receives the liquid control signal and, based on the liquid control signal, controls the liquid content in balloon 050, thereby controlling the volume of balloon 050, thereby moving or fixing catheter tip 040 and ultrasonic transducer 041.
[0088] Optionally, the ultrasonic ablation system further includes a foot switch 090, which is communicatively connected to the ultrasonic control device 010. The foot switch 090 is configured to output a foot signal to the ultrasonic control device 010 via a contact state. The ultrasonic control device 010 is further configured to receive the foot signal and determine a power control signal based on the foot control signal. The power control signal is used to enable the driver 020 to control the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 based on the power control signal.
[0089] For example, when both hands of the operator are occupied, a foot signal can be output to the ultrasonic control device 010 through the foot switch 090, so that the ultrasonic control device 010 can determine the power control signal according to the foot signal and output the power control signal to the drive device 020, thereby enabling the drive device 020 to control the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 based on the power control signal, which is conducive to flexible control of the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041.
[0090] In the previous embodiments, the basic structure and basic working principle of the ultrasonic ablation system are introduced. Next, the specific working principles of the ultrasonic control device 010 and the driving device 020 in the ultrasonic ablation system are described in detail. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a rotation of an ultrasonic transducer provided in an embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 2 The control signal includes a rate control signal and a power control signal; in terms of determining the control signal according to the angle interval AR, the ultrasonic control device 010 is specifically used to: if the angle interval AR is 360 degrees, then determine the rate control signal as the first rate control signal, and determine the power control signal as the first power control signal.
[0091] Among them, the first rate control signal is used to enable the driving device 020 to control the ultrasonic transducer 041 to rotate at a first rate based on the first rate control signal, and the first power control signal is used to enable the driving device 020 to control the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 to be a first power based on the first power control signal. In an optional embodiment, the first power is greater than 0w.
[0092] For example, continue to refer to Figure 2Through the focusing effect of ultrasound, the energy of ultrasound can be focused on a specific area, forming a linear damage area LDA from the target point to the rotation center P of the ultrasonic transducer 041. Taking the perspective from the second end to the first end of the ablation catheter 030, the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates in a clockwise direction as an example. If the angle interval AR is 360 degrees, the angle of the zero point RZ is the starting angle, and the angle of one rotation is within the angle interval AR. When the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates to different angles, the driving device 020 can control the ultrasonic transducer 041 to output the first power based on the first power control signal, that is, output ultrasonic energy of the same intensity, so that the linear damage area LDA is formed into a circular surface damage area FDA, ensuring that the targets to be ablated around the outer periphery of the vascular wall can be evenly ablated.
[0093] Optional, Figure 3 This is another schematic diagram of the rotation of an ultrasonic transducer provided in an embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 3 , the control signal includes a power control signal; in terms of determining the control signal according to the angle interval AR, the ultrasonic control device 010 is specifically used to: if the angle interval AR is less than 360 degrees, then when the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates to within the angle interval AR, determine that the power control signal is a first power control signal; and when the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates to outside the angle interval AR, determine that the power control signal is a second power control signal.
[0094] The first power control signal is used to cause the driving device 020 to control the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 to be a first power based on the first power control signal, and the second power control signal is used to cause the driving device 020 to control the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 to be a second power based on the second power control signal. The first power and the second power are not equal. In one embodiment, the first power is greater than the second power. In another embodiment, the second power is 0W.
[0095] For example, taking the perspective from the second end to the first end of the ablation catheter 030, the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates in a clockwise direction as an example. If the angle interval AR is 40 degrees, specifically 180-220 degrees, the angle of the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotated from 180 degrees to 220 degrees is both within the angle interval AR. At this stage, the driving device 020 can control the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 to be 40w (first power) based on the first power control signal; the angle of the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotated from 0 degrees to 180 degrees, and from 220 degrees to 360 degrees are both outside the angle interval AR. At this stage, the driving device 020 can control the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 to be 0w (second power) based on the second power control signal. In this way, the nerves located within the angle interval AR (the target to be ablated) can be removed, and the nerves located outside the angle interval AR will not be removed. At this time, the linear damage area LDA can form a fan-shaped surface damage area FDA, so that the ultrasonic ablation system can achieve selective ablation outside the blood vessel wall, thereby achieving ablation of the target to be ablated while avoiding damage to other body tissues around the target to be ablated.
[0096] In an alternative embodiment, continue to refer to Figure 3 The control signal includes a power control signal. Regarding determining the control signal based on the angle interval AR, the ultrasonic control device 010 is specifically configured to: if the angle interval AR includes multiple sub-intervals AR', then the control signal includes multiple sub-power control signals, each of which corresponds one-to-one to the multiple sub-intervals AR'. When the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates to a corresponding sub-interval AR', the power control signal is determined to be the corresponding sub-power control signal. Each sub-power control signal is configured to cause the ultrasonic transducer 041 to output a transmission power corresponding to the corresponding sub-power control signal when the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates to the corresponding sub-interval AR'.
[0097] Exemplarily, in different subintervals AR', the maximum thickness of the target to be ablated is different along the direction from the target point of the ultrasonic transducer 041 to the rotation center P. When the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates to the subinterval AR' where the maximum thickness of the target to be ablated is thicker, the driving device 020 can control the ultrasonic transducer 041 to output a larger transmission power based on the sub-power control signal, that is, to output a stronger ultrasonic energy, which is beneficial to ablate all the targets to be ablated in the subinterval AR'. When the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates to the subinterval AR' where the maximum thickness of the target to be ablated is smaller, the driving device 020 can control the ultrasonic transducer 041 to output a smaller transmission power based on the sub-power control signal, that is, to output a weaker ultrasonic energy, which is beneficial to ablate all the targets to be ablated in the subinterval AR' while reducing damage to other body tissues around the target to be ablated, and avoiding excessive damage to other body tissues around the target to be ablated.
[0098] It should be noted that the figure only exemplarily shows an angle range relative to the rotation center of the ultrasonic transducer. In other optional embodiments, there may be multiple angle ranges relative to the rotation center of the ultrasonic transducer, and this application does not limit this.
[0099] It should also be noted that one or more angle intervals can be divided into different sub-intervals. When the ultrasonic transducer rotates to different sub-intervals, the power output by the ultrasonic transducer can be the same or different. This application does not limit this. The output power of the ultrasonic transducer when it rotates to different sub-intervals can be set according to actual needs to achieve high-precision ablation within the angle interval. However, the power output when the ultrasonic transducer rotates to the angle interval is different from the power output when the ultrasonic transducer rotates to outside the angle interval. Generally, the power output when the ultrasonic transducer rotates to the angle interval is greater than 0w, and the power output when the ultrasonic transducer rotates to outside the angle interval is 0w, so as to achieve selective ablation of nerves within the angle interval and not ablate nerves outside the angle interval.
[0100] Based on the above embodiment, the control signal also includes a rate control signal; in terms of determining the control signal according to the angle interval AR, the ultrasonic control device 010 is specifically used to: if the angle interval is less than 360 degrees, then when the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates to within the angle interval AR, determine that the rate control signal is a first rate control signal; and when the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates to outside the angle interval AR, determine that the rate control signal is a second rate control signal.
[0101] The first rate control signal is used to cause the driving device 020 to control the ultrasonic transducer 041 to rotate at a first rate based on the first rate control signal, and the second rate control signal is used to cause the driving device 020 to control the ultrasonic transducer 041 to rotate at a second rate based on the second rate control signal. The first rate and the second rate are not equal. In an optional embodiment, both the first rate and the second rate are greater than 0 revolutions per second (rps / s), and the first rate is less than the second rate.
[0102] For example, continue to refer to Figure 3Taking the example of the clockwise rotation of the ultrasonic transducer 041 from the second end to the first end of the ablation catheter 030, if the angle range AR is 40 degrees, specifically 180-220 degrees, then the angles of the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotating from 180 degrees to 220 degrees are both within the angle range AR. During this period, the driving device 020 can control the rotation rate of the ultrasonic transducer 041 to 2 rps / s (first rate) based on the first rate control signal. The angles of the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotating from 0 degrees to 180 degrees and from 220 degrees to 360 degrees are both outside the angle range AR. During this period, the driving device 020 can control the rotation rate of the ultrasonic transducer 041 to 4 rps / s (second rate) based on the second rate control signal. This allows selective ablation to be achieved while reducing the time it takes for the ultrasonic transducer 041 to complete one rotation, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0103] In an optional embodiment, the ultrasonic control device 010 is further specifically configured to: if the angle interval AR is less than 360 degrees, determine a deceleration interval (not shown in the figure) before the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates to the angle interval AR, and an acceleration interval (not shown in the figure) after the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates to the angle interval AR; and when the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates into the deceleration interval, determine that the rate control signal is a deceleration control signal; and when the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates into the acceleration interval, determine that the rate control signal is an acceleration control signal.
[0104] The deceleration control signal is used to enable the driving device 020 to control the ultrasonic transducer 041 to rotate at a first acceleration based on the deceleration control signal, and the acceleration control signal is used to enable the driving device 020 to control the ultrasonic transducer 041 to rotate at a second acceleration based on the acceleration control signal.
[0105] Specifically, the rotation rate of the ultrasonic transducer 041 when it rotates to the deceleration range is greater than or equal to the first rate and less than or equal to the second rate; the rotation rate of the ultrasonic transducer 041 when it rotates to the acceleration range is also greater than or equal to the first rate and less than or equal to the second rate.
[0106] For example, continuing with the perspective from the second end to the first end of the ablation catheter 030, the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates in the clockwise direction, and the angle interval AR is 180-220 degrees, the deceleration interval is 175-180 degrees, and the acceleration interval is 220-225 degrees. When the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates from 0 degrees to 175 degrees, the driving device 020 can control the rotation rate of the ultrasonic transducer 041 to be 4rps / s (second rate) based on the second rate control signal; when the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates from 175 degrees to 180 degrees, the driving device 020 can control the ultrasonic transducer 041 to decelerate at the first acceleration based on the deceleration control signal until the rotation rate of the ultrasonic transducer 041 reaches 2rps / s. s / s (first rate); when the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates from 180 degrees to 220 degrees, the driving device 020 can control the rotation rate of the ultrasonic transducer 041 to 2 rps / s (first rate) based on the first rate control signal; when the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates from 220 degrees to 225 degrees, the driving device 020 can control the ultrasonic transducer 041 to rotate at a second acceleration based on the acceleration control signal until the rotation rate of the ultrasonic transducer 041 reaches 4 rps / s (second rate); when the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates from 225 degrees to 360 degrees, the driving device 020 can control the rotation rate of the ultrasonic transducer 041 to 4 rps / s (second rate) based on the second rate control signal. In this way, it can be ensured that the rotation rate of the ultrasonic transducer 041 can reach the first rate when it rotates within the angular interval AR, thereby achieving uniform ablation and improving the ablation effect.
[0107] In summary, the ultrasonic control device 010 and the driving device 020 can effectively remove the target to be ablated while reducing damage to other body tissues other than the target to be ablated. In order to further optimize the ablation process of the ultrasonic control device 010 and the driving device 020, the embodiment of the present application also provides an ultrasonic ablation system including a catheter monitoring device.
[0108] Figure 4 This is a structural diagram of another ultrasonic ablation system provided in an embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The ultrasonic ablation system also includes a catheter monitoring device 070, which includes a synchronization detection module 071. The synchronization detection module 071 is used to detect the current rotational position of the ultrasonic transducer 041 and output a rotation synchronization signal. The ultrasonic control device 010 is also used to receive the rotation synchronization signal and determine a control signal based on the rotation synchronization signal. The drive device 020 is also used to receive the rotation synchronization signal and control the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 based on the rotation synchronization signal during the rotation of the ultrasonic transducer 041.
[0109] The current rotational position can be any position during the rotation of the ultrasonic transducer 041, any angle between 0 and 360 degrees, and a position within an angle range that includes the lesion or a position outside an angle range that does not include the lesion. The synchronization detection module 071 includes, but is not limited to, sensors such as encoders, resolvers, Hall effect sensors, optical sensors, and gyroscopes.
[0110] Illustratively, the synchronization detection module 071 and the ultrasonic control device 010 can be digitally connected. The synchronization detection module 071 can identify and output the rotation phase information of the motor in the driving device 020, so that the ultrasonic control device 010 can obtain the current rotation position of the ultrasonic transducer 041 through the synchronization detection module 071 (the motor and the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotate synchronously). The ultrasonic control device 010 can determine whether the current rotation position of the ultrasonic transducer 041 has rotated to the angle interval AR based on the current rotation position of the ultrasonic transducer 041, and determine the power control signal accordingly, and output the power control signal to the driving device 020, so that the driving device 020 can control the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 based on the power control signal. For example, when the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates within the angle interval AR, the ultrasonic control device 010 may output a power control signal to the drive device 020, and the drive device 020 may control the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 to a first power based on the power control signal. When the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates outside the angle interval AR, the ultrasonic control device 010 may output a power control signal to the drive device 020, and the drive device 020 may control the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 to a second power based on the power control signal. The first power is greater than 0W, and the second power is 0W. In this way, the ultrasonic energy output of the ultrasonic transducer 041 and the rotational position of the ultrasonic transducer 041 can be synchronized in real time, achieving precise selective ablation.
[0111] In other optional embodiments, the driving device 020 may also obtain the current rotation position through the synchronization detection module 071, and control the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 according to the current rotation position and angle range.
[0112] Exemplarily, the synchronization detection module 071 is digitally connected to the driving device 020, and the power module in the driving device 020 can obtain the rotation phase information of the motor, that is, the current rotation position of the ultrasonic transducer 041, through the synchronization detection module 071, and when the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates to within the angle interval AR, the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 is controlled to be the first power; when the ultrasonic transducer 041 rotates to outside the angle interval AR, the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 is controlled to be the second power. Real-time synchronization between the ultrasonic energy output of the ultrasonic transducer 041 and the rotation position of the ultrasonic transducer 041 can also be achieved.
[0113] Optional, continue to refer to Figure 4 The catheter monitoring device 070 further includes a processing module 072 , a temperature detection module 073 , a state identification module 074 and an access detection module 075 . The access detection module 075 is used to obtain the connection status of the ablation catheter 030 at the driving output end of the driving device 020, and output a connection detection signal to the processing module 072; the state identification module 074 is used to identify the parameter information of the ablation catheter 030 when the connection status is connected, and determine the usage status of the ablation catheter 030 based on the parameter information, and output a usage detection signal to the processing module 072; the temperature detection module 073 is used to obtain the current temperature of the ultrasonic transducer 041 when the usage status is unused, and output a temperature detection signal to the processing module 072; the processing module 072 is used to receive the connection detection signal, the usage detection signal and the temperature detection signal, and based on the connection detection signal, the usage detection signal and the temperature detection signal, output the first detection control signal, the second detection control signal and the third detection control signal to the temperature detection module 073, the state identification module 074 and the access detection module 075 respectively; the processing module 072 is also used to feed back at least one of the connection detection signal, the usage detection signal and the temperature detection signal to the ultrasonic control device 010.
[0114] Exemplarily, the processing module 072 can control the access detection module 075, the state identification module 074, and the temperature detection module 073 to operate, and can also receive the detection and identification results of the access detection module 075, the state identification module 074, and the temperature detection module 073. The processing module 072 can control the temperature detection module 073 to obtain the current temperature of the ultrasonic transducer 041 after the driving device 020 is connected to the ablation catheter 030. The processing module 072 can also control the access detection module 075 to continue detecting whether the driving device 020 is connected to the ablation catheter 030 after receiving the current temperature, and control the temperature detection module 073 to continue obtaining the current temperature of the ultrasonic transducer 041 after the driving device 020 is connected to the ablation catheter 030 until the driving device 020 is no longer connected to the ablation catheter 030.
[0115] Based on the above embodiment, the processing module 072 may feed back one or more of the detection and identification results of the access detection module 075 , the state identification module 074 and the temperature detection module 073 to the ultrasonic control device 010 and / or the driving device 020 .
[0116] For example, the ultrasonic control device 010 may also receive the identification result of the state identification module 074 through the processing module 072, and after determining that the ablation catheter 030 is an unused ablation catheter 030, control the driving device 020 to start working, thereby preventing the reuse of the used ablation catheter 030 and causing cross infection. The ultrasonic control device 010 may also control the temperature detection module 073 to start working through the processing module 072 after the driving device 020 starts working. If the ablation catheter 030 is a used ablation catheter 030, an alarm is issued, an alarm message is output, and the driving device 020 is controlled to stop working. After the driving device 020 starts working, the driving device 020 may receive the detection result of the temperature detection module 073 through the processing module 072, and reduce the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 041 when the temperature is high to provide overheat protection.
[0117] In an optional embodiment, the catheter monitoring device 070 further includes a current detection module and a voltage detection module (not shown in the figure). The processing module 072 can control the operation of the current detection module and the voltage detection module and receive detection results of the current detection module and the voltage detection module. The processing module 072 can also feed back one or more detection results of the current detection module and the voltage detection module to the ultrasonic control device 010 and / or the driving device 020 to perform overcurrent protection and / or overvoltage protection.
[0118] In another optional embodiment, the ultrasonic control device 010 can also receive one or more of the detection and identification results of the access detection module 075, the state identification module 074 and the temperature detection module 073 through the processing module 072, and output an image data signal to the connected display screen based on the detection and identification results, so that the display screen displays the above-mentioned detection and identification results.
[0119] Optionally, the ultrasonic ablation system further includes a temperature control device (not shown). The ultrasonic control device 010 is further configured to receive a temperature detection signal, determine a temperature control signal based on the temperature detection signal, and output the temperature control signal to the temperature control device. The temperature control device is configured to receive the temperature control signal and control the temperature of the ultrasonic transducer 041 based on the temperature control signal.
[0120] In an optional embodiment, the temperature regulation device may include a heating module and a cooling module, and the temperature regulation device may be installed in the infusion pump 060. When the current temperature of the ultrasonic transducer 041 is high, the temperature of the liquid in the liquid pipeline can be lowered, thereby lowering the temperature of the ultrasonic transducer 041; when the current temperature of the ultrasonic transducer 041 is low, the temperature of the liquid in the liquid pipeline can be increased, thereby increasing the temperature of the ultrasonic transducer 041. In this way, the ultrasonic transducer 041 can be stabilized within a reasonable range, which is conducive to improving the ablation effect and reducing complications.
[0121] The structures and working principles of devices such as the ultrasonic control device, drive device, and catheter monitoring device have been introduced above. In order to achieve more efficient operation and collaborative work, the embodiment of the present application provides an ultrasonic ablation system that can integrate and combine some structures in the ultrasonic ablation system to improve the overall efficiency and performance of the ultrasonic ablation system.
[0122] Figure 5 is a structural diagram of another ultrasonic ablation system provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 This is a structural diagram of another ultrasonic ablation system provided in an embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The ultrasonic ablation system also includes an ultrasonic ablation main unit 100 and a handle 200. The ultrasonic control device 010 is disposed in the ultrasonic ablation main unit 100, and at least part of the structure of the driving device 020 is disposed in the handle 200. The ultrasonic ablation main unit 100 and the handle 200 are electrically connected via a cable 001 and are also communicatively connected via an optical cable 002.
[0123] Illustratively, the ultrasonic ablation main unit 100 is connected to a power cord and includes a power module 110. The ultrasonic control device 010 and the drive device 020 can receive electrical signals from the power grid via the power module 110. The power converter, motor driver, motor, and transmission mechanism (not shown) in the drive device 020 can be located in the handle 200, while the power module (not shown) in the drive device 020 can be located in the ultrasonic ablation main unit 100. The ultrasonic control device 010 in the ultrasonic ablation main unit 100 can exchange information with devices external to the ultrasonic ablation main unit 100 via fiber optic signals. The ultrasonic control device 010 in the ultrasonic ablation main unit 100 can also exchange information with other devices within the ultrasonic ablation main unit 100 via fiber optic signals, for example, with the power module located within the ultrasonic ablation main unit 100. Fiber optic materials are generally non-conductive, so there is no need to consider voltage resistance issues and they are not easily susceptible to electrical interference. This helps improve anti-interference capabilities and reduce signal attenuation. Fiber optic connections also help simplify wiring, save internal space, and reduce wiring requirements.
[0124] In other optional embodiments, all structures of the driving device 020 can be set on the handle 200, that is, the power converter, motor driver, motor, transmission mechanism, power module, etc. (not shown in the figure) in the driving device 020 can be set on the handle 200.
[0125] Based on the above embodiment, the ultrasonic ablation system further includes a catheter monitoring device 070, which can be installed in the handle 200. The catheter monitoring device 070 can also receive electrical signals from the power grid via the power module 110 in the ultrasonic ablation host 100. The ultrasonic control device 010 in the ultrasonic ablation host 100 can exchange information with the catheter monitoring device 070 via optical fiber signals.
[0126] Illustratively, the synchronization detection module 071, processing module 072, temperature detection module 073, state recognition module 074, and access detection module 075 in the catheter monitoring device 070 can exchange information via electrical signals. Communication isolation and / or digital isolation (not shown) can be provided in the handle 200 to convert the electrical signals exchanged by the catheter monitoring device 070 into optical fiber signals, which are then used to interact with the ultrasonic control device 010 and the drive device 020. This helps to enhance the anti-interference performance during signal transmission, and can also float the catheter monitoring device 070 to increase anti-interference performance. In addition, the power supply can be effectively isolated to ensure electrical safety.
[0127] Optional, continue to refer to Figure 6The ultrasonic ablation host 100 also includes a power module 110, which includes a switch key 120, a switch unit 130, a first isolated power supply 140, and a second isolated power supply 150. The control terminal 131 of the switch unit 130 is connected to the switch key 120, the first terminal 132 of the switch unit 130 is electrically connected to the power supply grid, and the second terminal 133 of the switch unit 130 is electrically connected to the first isolated power supply 140 and the second isolated power supply 150 respectively; the first isolated power supply 140 is also electrically connected to the ultrasonic control device 010; and the second isolated power supply 150 is also electrically connected to the drive device 020.
[0128] The on / off key 120 controls the conduction state of the switch unit 130. The operator can press the on / off key 120 to turn the switch unit 130 on or off, thereby powering the ultrasonic ablation system on or off. The first isolated power supply 140 and the second isolated power supply 150 can completely isolate the power grid from the ground via an isolation transformer, preventing fluctuations in the power grid from affecting the ultrasonic ablation system and ensuring stable operation. They can also reduce ground current, preventing leakage current from harming the operator or user.
[0129] Exemplarily, the switch key 120 may include a power switch 121 and an emergency stop switch 122, and both the power switch 121 and the emergency stop switch 122 may control the conduction state of the switch unit 130. The first end 132 of the switch unit 130 may be electrically connected to the power supply grid via a power line, and the power supply grid includes but is not limited to a 220V power supply grid and a 110V power supply grid. In an optional embodiment, the first end 132 of the switch unit 130 may be electrically connected to the power supply grid via a switch protection circuit and a filter circuit. In another optional embodiment, the switch unit 130 is further provided with an indicator light (not shown in the figure), which is on when the switch unit 130 is on, and off when the switch unit 130 is off.
[0130] The first isolated power supply 140 can convert a 220V or 110V high-voltage electrical signal into a 12V low-voltage electrical signal, which is then provided to the ultrasonic control device 010 in the ultrasonic ablation mainframe 100. The second isolated power supply 150 can convert a 220V or 110V high-voltage electrical signal into a 48V medium-voltage electrical signal, which is then provided to the drive device 020 in the handle 200. In an optional embodiment, the ultrasonic ablation system further includes a catheter monitoring device 070, which can be disposed in the handle 200. A third isolated power supply (not shown) can also be disposed in the handle 200 to convert the 48V electrical signal output by the second isolated power supply 150 into a 12V electrical signal, which is then provided to the catheter monitoring device 070.
[0131] In an optional embodiment, the ultrasonic ablation host 100 further includes a storage module 160, and the switch indication terminal 134 of the switch unit 130 is electrically connected to the storage module 160. The power module 110 further includes a power-off delay unit 170, and the storage module 160 can be electrically connected to the first isolated power supply 140 via the power-off delay unit 170. In an optional implementation, the storage module 160 can be integrated into the ultrasonic control device 010.
[0132] For example, the storage module 160 can receive a switch indication signal from the switch indication terminal 134 of the switch unit 130 to determine the on-state of the switch unit 130 and store data when the switch unit 130 is off. The power-off delay unit 170 can provide a power-off delay time of more than 1 second, so that the storage module 160 has sufficient time to store the data.
[0133] Based on the above embodiment, the ultrasonic ablation host 100 further includes a first power-off detection circuit and a second power-off detection circuit (not shown). The first power-off detection circuit can detect whether the first isolated power supply 140 has lost power, and the second power-off detection circuit can detect whether the second isolated power supply 150 has lost power. The storage module 160 can also be electrically connected to the first power-off detection circuit and the second power-off detection circuit, respectively, and store data when the first isolated power supply 140 and / or the second isolated power supply 150 lose power.
[0134] Optional, continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The ultrasonic ablation host 100 further includes a host display screen 180 and a speaker (not shown in the figure). The host display screen 180 and the speaker can be electrically connected to the ultrasonic control device 010 respectively.
[0135] Exemplarily, the host display screen 180 can be a touch screen, which can display parameter information of the ablation catheter 030, and can also display information such as the output power, rotation rate, and temperature of the ultrasonic transducer 041. The speaker can emit a prompt sound when the ultrasonic transducer 041 starts working, and can also emit an alarm sound when the output power, rotation rate, temperature, and other information of the ultrasonic transducer 041 are abnormal.
[0136] In addition, the ultrasonic ablation host 100 can also be connected to an external display screen, an electronic computer (not shown in the figure), etc. to assist in display and auxiliary work.
