Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent blood collection control, and specifically to a method for collecting blood components. Background Art

[0002] In the field of blood component collection, existing technologies mainly rely on centrifugal separation and membrane separation. The centrifugal separation method uses a high-speed rotating centrifuge to layer different components in whole blood according to density differences. Common components include red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. The core of the centrifugal separation method is to use centrifugal force to layer blood components according to density and then collect them through different collection ports. The membrane separation method uses the selective permeability of a semi-permeable membrane to separate different components in blood. The key to the membrane separation method lies in the selection of membrane materials and the design of membrane pore sizes to achieve effective separation of different components. In addition, there are also some technologies based on optical detection that identify and separate components by detecting the optical properties of blood components. These technologies usually combine methods such as spectral analysis, light scattering, and reflected light intensity detection to improve the accuracy and efficiency of separation.

[0003] Although existing blood component collection technologies meet clinical needs to a certain extent, there are still some significant defects, which are exactly the technical problems that this solution aims to solve. First of all, although the centrifugal separation method can effectively separate blood components, its separation process depends on high-speed rotation, which easily causes mechanical damage to blood components, especially has a greater impact on fragile components such as platelets and white blood cells. In addition, the separation efficiency of the centrifugal separation method is limited by the rotation speed and separation time of the centrifuge, and it is difficult to achieve real-time and dynamic separation control, resulting in a lack of flexibility and adaptability in the separation process. Although the membrane separation method avoids the problem of mechanical damage, the selection of membrane materials and the design of membrane pore sizes limit its scope of application, and membrane fouling and blockage problems are difficult to avoid, resulting in a decrease in separation efficiency and an increase in maintenance costs. Although optical detection technologies have advantages in component identification, their detection accuracy is limited by the stability of the light source and interference from the detection environment, and it is difficult to achieve high-precision component separation. In addition, when dealing with complex blood samples, existing technologies often have difficulty in simultaneously separating and identifying multiple components, resulting in low separation efficiency and complex operations. Existing technologies also lack the ability to monitor and dynamically adjust the separation process in real time, and cannot adjust separation parameters in a timely manner according to changes in the separation state, resulting in unstable separation effects. These technical problems limit the further development and application of blood component collection technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0053] Among them, as Figure 1 , a blood component collection method includes the following steps:

[0054] S1.

[0058] S5. Calculate the error according to the classification result, and adjust the blood pump flow rate through a PID controller to maintain the stability of the stratified structure.

[0059] Specifically, for the constructed feature vector, it contains the following data:

[0060] Reflected light intensity value: It represents the reflected light characteristics of the blood layer at the current moment.

[0061] First-order change rate of light intensity: It is used to detect the change trend and distinguish the transition layers between plasma, red blood cells and PRP.

[0067] S301. According to the scattering characteristics of blood components, calculate the diffuse reflection light intensity component through the Lambert diffuse reflection model;

[0068] S302. According to the reflection contribution of the blood layer surface to light, calculate the specular reflection light intensity component through the Phong specular reflection model;

[0069] S303. Calculate the time-frequency characteristics of the reflected light intensity signal through short-time Fourier transform to obtain the time-frequency characteristic matrix.

[0070] Furthermore, the step S4 specifically includes the following sub-steps:

[0071] S401. Integrate the extracted time-frequency characteristics, the obtained time change rate characteristics of the reflected light intensity, and the optical characteristics of the obtained reflected light characteristic data to construct the neural network input feature vector;

[0072] S402. Classify through a hierarchical perception radial basis function neural network;

[0073] S403. Determine the blood component categories, and the component categories at least include PRP, red blood cells, white blood cells and plasma.

[0074] Furthermore, the step S5 specifically includes the following sub-steps:

[0075] S501. Obtain the target stratification state and the actual stratification state according to the classification result output by the hierarchical perception radial basis function neural network;

[0076] S502. Calculate the error according to the difference between the target stratification state and the actual stratification state;

[0077] S503. Dynamically adjust the proportional gain of the PID controller according to the optical characteristics of the blood component layer;

[0078] S504. Optimize the regulation of the blood pump through the change of the blood layer position, and dynamically adjust the integral gain of the PID controller;

[0079] S505. Dynamically adjust the derivative gain of the PID controller according to the change rate of the blood stratification;

[0080] S506. Output signals through the adjusted PID controller, and adjust the flow rate of the blood pump through the output signals.

[0081] Further, the radial basis function neural network is composed of an input layer, a hidden layer and an output layer; the input layer is used to receive feature vectors; the hidden layer is used to calculate the similarity between the input data and the center point using the radial basis function; the output layer is used to calculate the final classification result through weights. For the radial basis function neural network, the existing radial basis functions basically adopt ordinary Gaussian kernel functions, but this Gaussian kernel function is not stable enough in the application of the blood layer boundary region with large optical characteristic changes. Therefore, in this embodiment, the hierarchical perception radial basis function is designed by optimizing the characteristics of the light reflection intensity change, making it more sensitive to the optical characteristic changes of different blood component layers. Specifically, by analyzing the light reflection characteristics of different blood layers, it is found that:

[0082] The PRP layer has a high specular reflection component and weak diffuse reflection;

[0083] The red blood cell layer is mainly diffuse reflection and has almost no specular reflection;

[0084] The plasma layer is between the two, and the reflection characteristics are relatively balanced.

[0085] Therefore, by optimizing the RBF kernel function, making it more sensitive to the ratio of specular reflection to diffuse reflection, specifically:

[0086] ;

[0087] ;

[0088] Among them, the represents the ratio of specular reflection to diffuse reflection, and the represents, and the represents the center point of the i-th RBF kernel function, the represents the expansion scale parameter of the RBF kernel function, which is used to control the "width" of the kernel function, the represents an adjustment factor for controlling the influence degree of the light reflection ratio, the represents the feature vector of the input data in the previous step, the and respectively represent the light reflection ratios of the current data point and the center point, the makes the kernel function pay more attention to the changes in light reflection characteristics, the is responsible for basic feature matching, the and respectively represent the specular reflection light intensity and the diffuse reflection light intensity.

[0089] Specifically, for , that is, the input data to each center point distance , its calculation process is:

[0090] ;

[0091] Among them, the represents the total number of indexes, the represents the index, the represents the input feature of the j-th dimension, the represents the value of the center point of the j-th dimension;

[0092] In addition, when calculating the distance, a weight adjustment of the light reflection ratio is introduced:

[0093] ;

[0094] Among them, the represents the input data with the weight adjustment of the light reflection ratio introduced to each center point distance, the represents the input data to each center point distance, the represents the weight parameter, making the light reflection ratio play a greater role in distance calculation;

[0095] Furthermore, the expansion scale parameter is calculated through ; among them, the represents, the represents the index of the neuron, the represents the number of neurons in the hidden layer, the represents the center point of the i-th RBF kernel function, and the represents the center point of the j-th RBF kernel function;

[0096] Furthermore, the adjustment factor for controlling the influence degree of the light reflection ratio is calculated through ; through the adjustment factor, it is ensured that the differences in light reflection characteristics of different blood layers are fully utilized to improve the classification accuracy.

[0097] In summary, the final optimized RBF neural network classification is expressed as:

[0098] ;

[0099] wherein, the represents the activation value of the k-th class, which is determined by the weighted output value of the RBF neural network and is used to calculate the classification probability. The represents the weight of the k-th class corresponding to the blood component category and the i-th RBF center. The k represents the number of blood component categories, and the categories at least include PRP, red blood cells, white blood cells, and plasma.

[0100] For the traditional Gaussian kernel function, the optimized light reflection ratio-sensitive RBF kernel function enhances the perception of the optical characteristics of blood components. By introducing the ratio of specular reflection to diffuse reflection, it improves the classification accuracy; provides better discrimination ability at the blood layer junction, reduces misclassification, and improves the accuracy of component boundary recognition; improves the response ability to real-time data, can more quickly identify changes in the blood component layer, and improves the system stability. Specifically, the reflected light consists of ambient light, diffuse reflection, and specular reflection, and different blood components reflect light in different ways. Therefore, through the Lambert diffuse reflection model and the Phong specular reflection model, different light components are separated to extract the characteristics of the blood layer.

[0101] Furthermore, the target stratification state and the actual stratification state respectively represent the position and thickness of the target stratification and the position and thickness of the layer measured according to the light reflection intensity.

[0102] Furthermore, in the step S503, the specific process of dynamically adjusting the proportional gain of the PID controller is as follows: set the dynamic proportional gain, and in combination with the set dynamic proportional gain, adjust the proportional factor of the PID controller according to the real-time state of blood stratification. Among them, the dynamic proportional gain is expressed as:

[0103] ;

[0104] wherein, the represents the dynamic proportional gain, and the represents the original proportional gain of the PID controller. represents an adjustment factor for controlling the range of change of the proportional gain, and the represents the reflection ratio of the current data, and the represents the reflection ratio of the reference data, and the represents the optical property difference of the blood components.

[0105] Further, in the step S504, the specific process of dynamically adjusting the integral gain of the PID controller is as follows: setting a dynamic integral gain, and reducing the excessive accumulation of the integral term of the PID controller by adjusting the integral gain in real time, where the dynamic integral gain is expressed as:

[0106] ;

[0107] wherein the represents the dynamic integral gain, and the represents the original integral gain of the PID controller, and the represents an adjustment factor for controlling the response of the integral gain to the error magnitude, and the represents the error at time t, that is, the difference between the target stratification state and the actual stratification state.

[0108] Further, in the step S505, the specific process of dynamically adjusting the derivative gain of the PID controller is as follows: setting the derivative gain of the prediction model based on the light reflection fluctuation, and controlling the mutation process of the blood stratification state by predicting the change trend of the blood layer, where the derivative gain of the prediction model based on the reflection fluctuation is expressed as:

[0109] ;

[0110] wherein the represents the derivative gain of the prediction model based on the reflection fluctuation, and the represents the original derivative gain of the PID controller, and the represents an adjustment factor for controlling the response of the derivative gain to the change rate, and the represents the diffuse reflection light intensity / specular reflection light intensity.

[0111] Further, in the step S2, the specific process of calculating the time change rate of the emitted light intensity is expressed as:

[0112] ;

[0113] wherein the represents the time change rate of the emitted light intensity, and the represents the reflected light intensity at the (N + 1)-th acquisition, and the represents the reflected light intensity at the N-th acquisition.

[0114] Further, in step S2, the specific process of calculating the second-order change rate of the reflected light intensity is expressed as:

[0115] ;

[0116] wherein, the represents the second-order change rate of the reflected light intensity and is used to reflect the acceleration change of the light intensity.

[0117] Further, the improvement of the PID controller is the core content of this embodiment. Specifically, the light reflection intensity data of blood components are classified by an RBF neural network to obtain the stratification status and layer thickness information of different blood components (such as plasma layer, PRP, white blood cell layer, red blood cell layer, etc.). The classification results are output, including the type of each component layer and its relative position. The blood stratification status and stratification thickness information are output by the neural network, and the difference between the target layer (such as the PRP layer) and the actual layer (the layer obtained according to the light reflection intensity measurement) is calculated. The target stratification status and the actual stratification status obtained from the classification results are used to calculate the error, which represents the difference between the target stratification status and the actual stratification status and serves as the input of the PID control. The error is calculated by the difference between the target stratification position and the current stratification position. This error reflects the deviation of blood stratification and directly affects the subsequent PID control process. The error and the light reflection intensity data are used to represent the actual characteristics of the blood layer (such as the optical characteristic differences of different layers).

[0118] Further, in the blood stratification system, the light reflection intensity of blood components changes non-linearly with the change of component layers, resulting in the system's response to errors may not be completely linear; secondly, due to possible noise in the measurement process, traditional PID control may lead to unstable reactions.

[0119] For the above reasons, this embodiment improves the traditional PID control:

[0120] PID adjustment based on light reflection intensity: A dynamic adjustment proportional factor is introduced for the reflected light intensity differences of different blood layers, enabling it to be adjusted in real time according to different component layers to cope with the changes in the light reflection characteristics of different layers.

[0121] Optimization of the integral term: To reduce the long-term deviation caused by the change of blood layers, the integral term is optimized to ensure that the cumulative effect of the error will not cause over-regulation of the system.

[0122] Adjustment of the differential term: A light reflection fluctuation prediction model is introduced, and the differential term is used to predict the change trend of blood layers to improve the real-time performance and accuracy of the response and avoid over-control reactions caused by unstable fluctuations.

[0123] Specifically, due to the large difference in the light reflection intensity of the blood component layers, by setting a dynamic proportional gain, the PID control adjusts the proportional factor according to the real-time state of blood stratification, and through the dynamic proportional gain, the response ability to the difference in light reflection intensity is improved, achieving more precise stratification control.

[0124] Furthermore, the integral term is used to eliminate long-term stable errors, but when set too high, it will cause over-regulation. By setting a dynamic integral gain, real-time adjustment is made to reduce the excessive accumulation of the integral term. The gain of the integral term will be dynamically adjusted according to the change of the error, avoiding the integral windstorm in traditional PID control.

[0125] Furthermore, the derivative term is used to predict the trend of error change and reduce system over-regulation. In order to make the derivative term better respond to the sudden change of blood stratification state, by setting the derivative gain of the prediction model based on light reflection fluctuation, the derivative term can sensitively respond to the change of the blood layer, especially during the sudden change of blood stratification state, improving the stability of system response.

[0126] Combining the optimized proportional, integral, and derivative terms above, the final PID control algorithm is specifically as follows:

[0127] ;

[0128] wherein, the represents the output signal of the PID control algorithm, that is, the blood pump flow rate adjustment control signal.

[0129] Furthermore, as a preferred implementation of the above embodiment, a collection device for applying a method of collecting blood components is proposed, including a motor, a blood separation chamber, an optical detector, a controller, and a blood pipeline; wherein:

[0130] The blood separation chamber stratifies blood components through centrifugal action;

[0131] The optical detector irradiates different blood components, such as plasma, platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells, with a light source, and the light receiver judges the blood components and their concentrations by receiving the change in the light intensity of the reflected light;

[0132] The controller includes a pump and a valve for controlling fluid flow and an information processor;

[0133] The information processor includes a programmable processor, wherein, the processor is embedded with a PID algorithm, and this algorithm is based on the PID control algorithm with optimized proportional, integral, and derivative terms described in the above embodiment;

[0134] The pipeline contains blood and blood components and is connected to the controller and the blood separation chamber.

[0135] Further, as a preferred implementation of the above embodiments, a device for collecting blood components is proposed, including a motor, a blood separation chamber, an optical detector, an information processor, a controller, and a blood pipeline. As shown in Figure 2, the motor provides the power for blood centrifugal separation. The blood separation chamber contains blood and rotates at a high speed with the motor to layer the blood in the separation chamber according to blood components. The optical detector includes a light emission source and a light receiver. The light emission source is a point, multiple points, or a fiber bundle, and the light receiver is a single point, multiple points, or a bundle shape and corresponds to the emitted light. For example Figure 3 and 4 , the light emission source emits light, directly irradiates the blood in the blood separation chamber and reflects the light, and the reflected light is received by the light receiver. The information processor calculates according to the light intensity of the reflected light and issues an instruction to the controller. The controller receives the instruction issued by the information processor and controls the pump speeds of multiple pumps.
