Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention patent application with the application date of October 25, 2024, application number 202411506110.5, and invention name "Tumor electric field therapy system, electrode sheet, tumor treatment equipment and method". Technical Field
[0002] The present application relates to tumor electric field therapy technology, and in particular to a control method for a tumor electric field therapy system, a computer-readable storage medium, and a tumor electric field therapy system. Background Art
[0003] Tumor electric field therapy is a method that uses low-intensity, medium-to-high-frequency alternating electric fields to prevent the formation of spindle microtubules during mitosis in certain tumor cells, inhibit the separation of intracellular organelles during cell division, and induce apoptosis of cells during mitosis, thereby achieving the effect of treating tumors.
[0004] Compared with traditional cancer treatments, tumor electric field therapy has an innovative mechanism of action. Some physiological characteristics of tumor cells, such as geometric shape and high-frequency mitosis, make them susceptible to tumor electric field therapy. Tumor electric field therapy disrupts the normal aggregation of tubulin by exerting directional forces on polar particles (such as macromolecules and organelles) within cells. These processes may lead to physical damage to the cell membrane and cell apoptosis. At the end of cell mitosis, the structural morphology of the cleavage furrow will lead to uneven distribution of the electric field around it. At the same time, under the influence of tumor electric field therapy, the electric field intensity at the cleavage furrow is significantly enhanced, and the charged substances in the cell move toward the cleavage furrow, which interferes with or even destroys the formation of the cell structure, and ultimately leads to cell division failure and apoptosis.
[0005] The tumor electric field therapy system in the related art uses an electric field application device to transmit the alternating electric signal for tumor electric field therapy to the electrode sheet, and then applies the alternating electric field to the patient's tumor site through the electrode sheet for tumor electric field therapy. When the tumor treatment electric field is applied to the patient's body, heat will accumulate at the application site, and the temperature will rise accordingly. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the temperature of the application site. When the temperature is too high, the electric field strength needs to be adjusted in time to reduce the risk of skin burns caused by excessive temperature.
[0006] The tumor electric field treatment system includes at least one pair of electrode sheets, each of which has multiple electrode units. Even if the same alternating electric signal is applied to each electrode unit, the heat generated by each electrode unit will be different due to its different position, that is, the temperature of each electrode unit on the entire electrode sheet will not be completely consistent. In this way, it is possible that the temperature of some electrode units in the entire electrode sheet exceeds the preset temperature, while the temperature of other electrode units is normal. In order to improve the effect of tumor electric field treatment, it is necessary to implement individual control on the over-temperature electrode units. However, for the electrode sheets in the related art, the individual control of the electrode units requires a conductive trace to be set for each electrode unit in the substrate of the electrode sheet, which will increase the number of conductive traces in the electrode sheet substrate so that the electrode sheet is not easy to bend, and the cable electrically connected to the electrode sheet will also be thickened, which increases the overall weight of the electrode sheet, which is not conducive to the application of the electrode sheet and brings inconvenience to the patient.

[0074] The following embodiments of the technical solution of the present application are described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present application, and are therefore only used as examples, and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present application.
[0075] Embodiment 1:
[0076] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a tumor electric field treatment system 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the tumor electric field treatment system 100 includes: at least one pair of electrode sheets 13, an adapter 20 connected to the at least one pair of electrode sheets 13, and an electric field generator 30 connected to the adapter 20. The at least one pair of electrode sheets 13 can be arranged in pairs on the patient's body surface, such as Figure 1There are four electrode sheets 13 in the apparatus, and every two electrode sheets 13 are arranged as a pair on the patient's body surface. The electric field generator 30 can be used to supply power to at least one pair of electrode sheets 13, so that an alternating electric field for treating tumors is generated between at least one pair of electrode sheets 13. The adapter 20 is electrically connected between at least one pair of electrode sheets 13 and the electric field generator 30, and is used to transmit the alternating electric signal generated by the electric field generator 30 to at least one pair of electrode sheets 13. In other words, the electric field generator 30 is capable of generating an alternating electric signal, and the generated alternating electric signal is transmitted to each electrode sheet 13 through the adapter 20, so that an alternating electric field for treating tumors is generated between the same pair of electrode sheets 13, so as to apply an alternating electric field to the tumor site of the patient for tumor treatment.
[0077] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the number of electrode sheets 13 is 4, each electrode sheet 13 includes a plurality of electrode units 33 of the same number, each electrode unit 33 is electrically connected to the adapter 20, and the number of electrode units 33 on each electrode sheet 13 is 20. In other embodiments, the tumor electric field treatment system 100 may also have more or fewer electrode sheets 13; in other embodiments, each pair of electrode sheets 13 has the same number of electrode units 33, and different pairs of electrode sheets 13 may have different numbers of electrode units 33; in other embodiments, the number of electrode units 33 on each electrode sheet 13 may be 9, 13, etc., which can be configured according to actual conditions.
[0078] In this embodiment, the connection line between two electrode units 33 can be called a connecting strip, and the interval between the electrode units 33 can be adjusted by the connecting strip. If one electrode unit 33 is connected to another electrode unit 33 only by one connecting strip, the electrode unit 33 is an electrode unit 33 at a free end, for example Figure 1Each electrode sheet 13 shown has 9 electrode units 33 at free ends. The surrounding space where the electrode units 33 at the free ends are located is an open space, that is, the electrode units 33 at the free ends have a certain degree of freedom and can move freely in the open space. For example, the connecting belt can be stretched or bent to a certain extent, so that the electrode units 33 can move in all directions. The reason why some electrode units 33 of each electrode sheet 13 are set to be in the form of free ends in this embodiment is that after the electrode sheet is attached to the human body, the electric fields of the electrode units 33 are inconsistent due to the wrinkles of the human skin and the corresponding impedance changes, thereby causing the temperatures of the electrode units 33 to be inconsistent, and the electrode units 33 located at the periphery of the electrode sheet 13 heat faster. Therefore, when some electrode units 33 in the electrode sheet 13 are at the free ends, the electrode units 33 at the free ends can be adjusted to increase the heat dissipation space of the peripheral electrode units 33, accelerate heat dissipation, and avoid local excessive temperature causing low-temperature burns to the human body. In addition, the application position of the electrode unit 33 at the free end on the human body can be adjusted, so that the electrode unit 33 at the free end can be flexibly applied to the human body according to actual needs, thereby improving the comfort of the human body and improving the treatment effect.
[0079] Figure 3 for Figure 1 The circuit connection diagram of the electrode sheet 13 and the adapter 20 of the tumor electric field treatment system 100 is shown. Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the structure of the electrode unit 33 is shown. It is worth noting that: Figure 3 The arrangement of the electrode units 33 shown is to more clearly illustrate the electrical connection between an electrode sheet 13 and the adapter 20. Figure 3 The arrangement of the electrode units 33 shown does not represent the arrangement of the electrode units 33 in a spatial structure. Figure 3 The figure shows the cooperation between the rectifying switching unit 16 and the multiplexing switching unit (including a plurality of bidirectional switching switches 55) to realize the switching between temperature sampling and applying the alternating electrical signal. Figure 3As shown, a plurality of electrode units 33 in an electrode sheet 13 are configured into a plurality of row groups and a plurality of column groups, and a rectifying switching unit 16 having a first switching end 1, a second switching end 2 and a fixed end 3 is provided for each row group, the first switching end 1 of the rectifying switching unit 16 is connected to each temperature detection unit 35 connected in series in the corresponding row group, the second switching end 2 of the rectifying switching unit 16 is respectively connected to each electrode unit 33 in the corresponding row group, and the fixed end 3 of the rectifying switching unit 16 is connected to the multiplexing switching unit through a dual-purpose signal line 19. For example, the first end of the bidirectional switch 55-1 is turned on, the second end is turned off, and the first switching end 1 of the corresponding rectifying switching unit 16 is connected to the fixed end 3, so as to obtain the temperature detection signal of the temperature detection unit 35 of the electrode unit 33 in the corresponding electrode sheet 13; or, the second end of the bidirectional switch 55-1 is turned on, the first end is turned off, and the second switching end 2 of the corresponding rectifying switching unit 16 is connected to the fixed end 3, and the electrode units 33 of the corresponding row group can be applied with an alternating electrical signal at the same time.
[0080] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 , the electrode sheet 13 includes: a substrate 31, a plurality of electrode units 33 electrically connected to the substrate 31 at intervals, a plurality of temperature detection units, a plurality of rectifier switching units 16, and a first cable 15 electrically connected to the substrate 31. The substrate 31 may be a flexible circuit board. The substrate 31 is embedded with a plurality of conductive traces, which include a plurality of grounding wires 18, a multi-channel dual-purpose signal wire 19, and a rectifier ground wire (not numbered) for grounding the plurality of rectifier switching units 16. The first cable 15 has a plurality of core conductors (not shown), each of which is electrically connected to the plurality of grounding wires 18, the multi-channel dual-purpose signal wire 19, and the rectifier ground wire (not numbered) of the substrate 31 in a one-to-one correspondence. In this embodiment, the total number of the grounding wires 18, the dual-purpose signal wires 19, and the rectifier ground wire (not numbered) embedded in the substrate 31 does not exceed 10, so the number of conductors of the first cable 15 does not exceed 10.
[0081] The plurality of electrode units 33 are configured into a plurality of row groups and a plurality of column groups. In the present embodiment, 20 electrode units 33 are provided on each electrode sheet 13, and the 20 electrode units 33 are arranged in the order of 1 to 20 in the circuit connection, and are divided into four row groups and five column groups, that is, the 20 electrode units 33 are arranged in four rows and five columns in the circuit connection. Each electrode unit 33 corresponds to a temperature detection unit 35, and each temperature detection unit 35 has a signal terminal 35-2 and a ground terminal 35-1. The electrode unit 33 and the temperature detection unit 35 are both soldered to the substrate 31. Since the plurality of temperature detection units 35 are arranged one-to-one with the plurality of electrode units 33, the plurality of temperature detection units 35 are also arranged in four row groups and five column groups in the circuit connection. It should be noted that the arrangement method here is to more clearly show the electrical connection between the electrode sheet 13 and the adapter 20, and does not represent the arrangement of the electrode unit 33 in the spatial structure, and its spatial structure may be as follows Figure 2 The structure shown as an array may also be other structures, such as petal-shaped or scattered, and may be regular or irregular. The electrode unit 33 is configured to apply an alternating electric field to the patient's tumor site. The temperature detection unit 35 is configured to detect the temperature of the patient's body surface attached to the electrode sheet 13, that is, the temperature at the corresponding electrode unit 33, and output a temperature detection signal to the adapter 20. In this embodiment, the multiplexed dual-purpose signal line 19 of the substrate 31 is respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple row groups of the electrode unit 33, and is configured to transmit the alternating electric signal generated by the electric field generator 30 to each electrode unit 33 in the corresponding row group. That is, the electrode units 33 in the same row group can be connected to the same dual-purpose signal line 19 of the substrate 31 through the corresponding rectifier switching unit 16, and the electrode units 33 in different row groups are respectively connected in parallel through different dual-purpose signal lines 19 of the substrate 31. The dual-purpose signal line 19 of the substrate 31 is electrically connected to the first cable 15, and then electrically connected to the electric field generator 30 via the adapter 20. Furthermore, the dual-purpose signal line 19 of the substrate 31 receives the alternating electric signal generated by the electric field generator 30 through the first cable 15 and the adapter 20 .
[0082] The multiple grounding wires 18 are respectively arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple column groups of the electrode unit 33, and the multiple grounding wires 18 are respectively used to short-circuit each corresponding temperature detection unit 35 in each column group to the ground. That is, the grounding ends 35-1 of the multiple temperature detection units 35 in the same column group are short-circuited through the same grounding wire 18 of the substrate 31, and the grounding ends 35-1 of the temperature detection units 35 in different column groups are respectively connected in parallel through different grounding wires 18 of the substrate 31. During the time period of temperature detection, only one of the multiple grounding wires 18 is turned on at the same time, and the rest are disconnected. Each temperature detection unit 35 includes a temperature sensor 34, and the two ends of each temperature sensor 34 are respectively a signal end 34-2 and a grounding end 34-1. The multiple temperature sensors 34 located in the same row group are connected in series, and a signal terminal 34-2 located at the end of each row group is connected to a dual-purpose signal line 19 through a corresponding rectifier switching unit 16, and then connected to a DC power supply VCC through a corresponding bidirectional switch 55 and a corresponding voltage divider resistor 53. The ground terminals 34-1 of the corresponding temperature sensors 34 in each column group are connected together through corresponding diodes, and then connected to the control switch 54 through corresponding ground wires in multiple ground wires 18, and then connected to the ground pin GND. The tumor electric field treatment system 100 configures the switching timing of the bidirectional switch 55 and the control switch 54 so that the analog temperature signals detected by the corresponding one or more combinations of all the temperature sensors 34 of the electrode sheet 13 are sampled respectively.

[0105] The following will refer to Figures 3 to 5The working principle of the tumor electric field treatment system 100 of this embodiment is described in detail.
[0106] Specifically, when it is necessary to detect the temperature of each electrode unit 33 of a certain electrode sheet 13, the second controller 37 of the electric field generator 30 controls the corresponding power switch 40 to disconnect the alternating electric signal applied to the electrode sheet 13, and the first controller 51 of the adapter 20 or the second controller 37 of the electric field generator 30 controls one end of a plurality of bidirectional switches 55 of a multiplexing switching unit electrically connected to the electrode sheet 13 to be turned on and the other end to be turned off, and the corresponding temperature detection unit 35 is powered by the VCC provided by the first power module 58, and the rectifier switching unit linked to the bidirectional switch 55 is turned on. The contact 3 of the controllable switch 162 in 16 is connected to the contact 1; at the same time, the first controller 51 of the adapter 20 or the second controller 37 of the electric field generator 30 controls each control switch 54 in a group of control switches 54 electrically connected to the electrode sheet 13 to be turned on in sequence in a time-sharing manner. At this time, the detection channel connected to one end of the bidirectional switch 55 in the multiple detection channels of the group of ADC units 52 corresponding to the electrode sheet 13 can sample the combined temperature detection signal detected by the first temperature detection unit 35 or multiple temperature detection units 35 in the corresponding row group in sequence, and the above temperature detection signal can be represented by a voltage value. Only one of the five control switches 54 in the group of control switches 54 corresponding to the electrode sheet 13 can be turned on at the same time, and the other four can be turned off. Only one of the four bidirectional switching switches 55 in the multiplexing switching unit corresponding to the group of ADC units 52 is switched to its end 1, and the rest are switched to their ends 2, so that one of the dual-purpose signal lines 19 of the electrode sheet 13 is electrically connected to a corresponding detection channel (A, B, C or D) of the ADC unit 52 and is turned on. With this arrangement, the group of ADC units 52 can collect the voltage value of the first temperature detection unit 35 in the same row group that is short-circuited with the ground line 18 corresponding to the turned-on control switch 54, or the voltage value of the first and second temperature detection units 35 in series, or the voltage value of the first to third temperature detection units 35 in series, or the voltage value of the first to fourth temperature detection units 35 in series, or the voltage value of the first to fifth temperature detection units 35 in series.
[0107] Further, when the first control switch 54-1 is closed, the second control switch 54-2, the third control switch 54-3, the fourth control switch 54-4 and the fifth control switch 54-5 are all opened, and the first bidirectional switch 55-1 is switched to its 1 end, the second bidirectional switch 55-2, the third bidirectional switch 55-3 and the fourth bidirectional switch 55-4 are all switched to their respective 2 ends, and the first switching end 1 of the rectifier switching unit 16 corresponding to the first row group is connected to the fixed end 3, the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1 is powered on, and the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the remaining electrode units 33 are powered off, and the signal end 35-2 of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1 is short-circuited on the first detection channel A in the group of ADC units 52. Since only the power The signal end 35-2 of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1 is connected to the ground, while the ground ends 35-1 of the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-2, 33-3, 33-4 and 33-5 are disconnected, and each temperature detection unit 35 (including the temperature sensor 34) is connected in series with the corresponding diode 36, which will not affect the resistance value of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1. Therefore, only the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1 is effectively operated on the first detection channel A of the ADC unit 52, and the temperature detection signal (voltage value) collected by the first detection channel A is the voltage value of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1, thereby realizing accurate temperature detection at the electrode unit 33-1.
[0108] When the second control switch 54-2 is closed, the first control switch 54-1, the third control switch 54-3, the fourth control switch 54-4 and the fifth control switch 54-5 are all disconnected, and the first bidirectional switch 55-1 is switched to its 1 end, the second bidirectional switch 55-2, the third bidirectional switch 55-3 and the fourth bidirectional switch 55-4 are all switched to their respective 2 ends, and the first switching end 1 of the rectifier switching unit 16 corresponding to the first row group is connected to the fixed end 3, the electrode unit 33-1 and the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-2 are connected in series and powered on, and the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the remaining electrode units 33 are powered off, and the signal end 35-2 of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1 is short-circuited on the first detection channel A in the group of ADC units 52, and the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1 and the electrode unit 33-2 are connected in series. Since only the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-2 The ground terminal 35-1 is connected to the ground, while the ground terminals 35-1 of the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-3, 33-4 and 33-5 are disconnected, and each temperature detection unit 35 (including the temperature sensor 34) is connected in series with the corresponding diode 36, which will not affect the resistance of the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-1 and 33-2. Therefore, only the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-1 and 33-2 are effectively operated on the first detection channel A of the group of ADC units 52. The temperature detection signal (voltage value) collected by the first detection channel A is the sum of the voltage values of the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-1 and 33-2. The voltage value of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1 is subtracted to obtain the voltage value of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-2, thereby realizing accurate temperature detection at the electrode unit 33-2.
[0109] Similarly, when the third control switch 54-3 is closed, the first control switch 54-1, the second control switch 54-2, the fourth control switch 54-4 and the fifth control switch 54-5 are all disconnected, and the first bidirectional switching switch 55-1 is switched to its 1 end, the second bidirectional switching switch 55-2, the third bidirectional switching switch 55-3 and the fourth bidirectional switching switch 55-4 are all switched to their respective 2 ends, and the first switching end 1 of the rectifier switching unit 16 corresponding to the first row group is connected to the fixed end 3, what is detected on the first detection channel A of the group of ADC units 52 is the sum of the voltage values of the electrode unit 33-1, the electrode unit 33-2 and the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-3. By subtracting the sum of the voltage values of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the aforementioned electrode unit 33-1 and the electrode unit 33-2, the voltage value of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-3 can be obtained, thereby realizing accurate detection of the temperature at the electrode unit 33-3.
[0110] By analogy, when the fourth control switch 54-4 is closed, the first control switch 54-1, the second control switch 54-2, the third control switch 54-3 and the fifth control switch 54-5 are all opened, and the first bidirectional switch 55-1 is switched to its 1 end, the second bidirectional switch 55-2, the third bidirectional switch 55-3 and the fourth bidirectional switch 55-4 are all switched to their respective 2 ends, and the first switching end 1 of the rectifier switching unit 16 corresponding to the first row group is connected to the fixed end 3, the temperature at the electrode unit 33-4 can be accurately controlled. Detection; when the fifth control switch 54-5 is closed, the first control switch 54-1, the second control switch 54-2, the third control switch 54-3 and the fourth control switch 54-4 are all disconnected, and the first bidirectional switching switch 55-1 is switched to its 1 end, the second bidirectional switching switch 55-2, the third bidirectional switching switch 55-3 and the fourth bidirectional switching switch 55-4 are all switched to their respective 2 ends, and the first switching end 1 of the rectifier switching unit 16 corresponding to the first row group is connected to the fixed end 3, accurate detection of the temperature at the electrode unit 33-5 can be achieved.
[0111] Thus, the temperature detection signals at the respective electrode units 33 in the first row group can be collected in sequence through the first detection channel A.
[0112] Similarly, when the first control switch 54-1 is closed, the second control switch 54-2, the third control switch 54-3, the fourth control switch 54-4 and the fifth control switch 54-5 are all opened, and the second bidirectional switch 55-2 is switched to its 1 end, the first bidirectional switch 55-1, the third bidirectional switch 55-3 and the fourth bidirectional switch 55-4 are all switched to their respective 2 ends, and the first switching end 1 of the rectifier switching unit 16 corresponding to the second row group is connected to the fixed end 3, the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-6 is powered on, and the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the remaining electrode units 33 are powered off, and the signal end 35-2 of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-6 is short-circuited on the second detection channel B in the group of ADC units 52. Since only the electrode unit 33-6 is powered on, the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-6 is powered on. The ground terminal 35-1 of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the unit 33-6 is connected to the ground, while the ground terminals 35-1 of the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-7, 33-8, 33-9 and 33-10 are disconnected, and each temperature detection unit 35 (including the temperature sensor 34) is connected in series with the corresponding diode 36, which will not affect the resistance value of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-6. Therefore, only the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-6 is effectively operated on the second detection channel B of the ADC unit 52 group, and the temperature detection signal (voltage value) collected by the second detection channel B is the voltage value of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-6, thereby realizing accurate temperature detection at the electrode unit 33-6.
[0113] When the second control switch 54-2 is closed, the first control switch 54-1, the third control switch 54-3, the fourth control switch 54-4 and the fifth control switch 54-5 are all disconnected, and the second bidirectional switch 55-2 is switched to its 1 end, the first bidirectional switch 55-1, the third bidirectional switch 55-3 and the fourth bidirectional switch 55-4 are all switched to their respective 2 ends, and the first switching end 1 of the rectifier switching unit 16 corresponding to the second row group is connected to the fixed end 3, the electrode unit 33-6 and the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-7 are connected in series and powered on, and the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the remaining electrode units 33 are powered off, and the signal end 35-2 of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-6 is short-circuited on the second detection channel B in the group of ADC units 52, and the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-6 and the electrode unit 33-7 are connected in series. Since only the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-7 is The ground terminal 35-1 is connected to the ground, while the ground terminals 35-1 of the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-8, 33-9 and 33-10 are disconnected, and each temperature detection unit 35 (including the temperature sensor 34) is connected in series with the corresponding diode 36, which will not affect the resistance value of the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-6 and 33-7. Therefore, only the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-6 and 33-7 on the second detection channel B of the group of ADC units 52 are effectively operated. The temperature detection signal (voltage value) collected by the second detection channel B is the sum of the voltage values of the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-6 and 33-7. The voltage value of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-6 is subtracted to obtain the voltage value of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-7, thereby realizing accurate temperature detection at the electrode unit 33-7.
[0114] By analogy, the temperature signals at each electrode unit 33 in the second row group can be collected in sequence through the second detection channel B, the temperature signals at each electrode unit 33 in the third row group can be collected in sequence through the third detection channel C, and the temperature signals at each electrode unit 33 in the fourth row group can be collected in sequence through the fourth detection channel D.
[0115] Thus, the first controller 51 of the adapter 20 or the second controller 37 of the electric field generator 30 can collect the temperature detection signals of the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to all the electrode units 33 of a certain electrode sheet 13 by controlling a group of bidirectional switching switches 55 and a group of control switches 54 that are electrically connected to the electrode sheet 13. Similarly, the temperature detection signals of the temperature sensors 34 of the electrode units 33 of other electrode sheets 13 can be obtained.
[0116] The first controller 51 or the second controller 37, the multiple groups of ADC units 52 and the multiple groups of bidirectional switches 55 can automatically perform operations through pre-programmed program codes. For example, the first controller 51 or the second controller 37 first controls a bidirectional switch 55 in the corresponding group of bidirectional switches 55 to switch to end 1 so that end 1 of the bidirectional switch 55 is turned on and end 2 is turned off so that the corresponding dual-purpose signal line 19 of the corresponding electrode sheet 13 is electrically connected to the corresponding group of ADC units 52, and the first switching end 1 of the rectifier switching unit 16 linked to the bidirectional switch is connected to the fixed end, and then the control switch 54-1 in the corresponding group of control switches 54 is closed, and the remaining control switches 54-2 to 54-5 in the group of control switches 54 are turned off. During this period, the ADC units 52 in the corresponding group of control switches 54 are turned off. The corresponding detection channel of ADC unit 52 obtains the temperature detection signal of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33 located in the corresponding row group in the corresponding electrode sheet 13 and converts it into a digital temperature signal and stores it in a separately set memory. Then, after a preset interval, the first controller 51 or the second controller 37 closes the second control switch 54-2 in the group of control switches 54 and disconnects the first control switch 54-1, the third control switch 54-3, the fourth control switch 54-4, and the fifth control switch 54-5 in the group of control switches 54. During this period, the corresponding detection channel of the group of ADC units 52 obtains the temperature detection signals of the two temperature detection units 35 connected in series, and subtracts the previously obtained temperature detection signal to obtain the temperature detection signal corresponding to the current electrode unit 33. In this way, each control switch 54 in the group of control switches 54 is turned on separately in turn, and the temperature detection signals of all the temperature detection units 35 on the electrode sheet 13 can be obtained. Similarly, the temperature detection signals of all the temperature detection units 35 on at least one pair of electrode sheets 13 are obtained through this operation.
[0117] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the multiplexing switching unit is further configured to, when the control switch 54 corresponding to any column group is closed, switch the target dual-purpose signal line 19 to connect to the corresponding temperature sampling point, and link it through the rectifier switching unit 16 corresponding to the target dual-purpose signal line 19, so that the first switching end 1 of the rectifier switching unit 16 corresponding to the target dual-purpose signal line 19 is connected to the fixed end 3, so that the analog temperature signals detected by the corresponding temperature detection units 35 in the column group are sampled respectively.
[0118] Specifically, the first controller 51 of the adapter 20 or the second controller 37 of the electric field generator 30 can also control one of the control switches 54 electrically connected to a certain electrode sheet 13 to be closed, and at the same time control each bidirectional switching switch 55 in the multiplexing switching unit to turn on one end in turn, so that the detection channels A, B, C, and D in the group of ADC units 52 can be sampled in turn to obtain the temperature detection signals at each electrode unit 33 in the same column group.
[0119] For example, the first control switch 54-1 may be controlled to be closed, and the second control switch 54-2, the third control switch 54-3, the fourth control switch 54-4 and the fifth control switch 54-5 may be controlled to be opened. Then, when only the first bidirectional switch 55-1 is switched to its 1 end, the second bidirectional switch 55-2, the third bidirectional switch 55-3 and the fourth bidirectional switch 55-4 are all switched to their respective 2 ends, and the first switching end 1 of the rectifier switching unit 16 corresponding to the first row group is connected to the fixed end 3, the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1 is powered on, and the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the remaining electrode units 33 are powered off, and the signal end 35-2 of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1 is short-circuited on the first detection channel A in the group of ADC units 52. Only the ground terminal 35-1 of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1 is connected to the ground, while the ground terminals 35-1 of the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-2, 33-3, 33-4 and 33-5 are disconnected, and each temperature detection unit 35 (including the temperature sensor 34) is connected in series with the corresponding diode 36, which will not affect the resistance value of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1. Therefore, only the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1 is effectively operated on the first detection channel A of the ADC unit 52 group, and the temperature detection signal (voltage value) collected by the first detection channel A is the voltage value of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1, thereby realizing accurate temperature detection at the electrode unit 33-1.
[0120] When only the second bidirectional switch 55-2 is switched to its 1 end, the first bidirectional switch 55-1, the third bidirectional switch 55-3 and the fourth bidirectional switch 55-4 are all switched to their respective 2 ends, and the first switching end 1 of the rectifier switching unit 16 corresponding to the second row group is connected to the fixed end 3, the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-6 is powered on, and the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the remaining electrode units 33 are powered off, and the signal end 35-2 of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-6 is short-circuited on the second detection channel B in the group of ADC units 52. Since only the ground end 35-1 of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-6 is connected to the ground, The ground terminals 35-1 of the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-7, 33-8, 33-9 and 33-10 are all disconnected, and each temperature detection unit 35 (including the temperature sensor 34) is connected in series with the corresponding diode 36, which will not affect the resistance value of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-6. Therefore, only the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-6 is effectively operated on the second detection channel B of the ADC unit 52 group, and the temperature detection signal (voltage value) collected by the second detection channel B is the voltage value of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-6, thereby realizing accurate temperature detection at the electrode unit 33-6.
[0121] By analogy, the temperature detection signals of the electrode units 33 of the first column group can be collected in sequence through the detection channels A, B, C, and D in the group of ADC units 52 .
[0122] Next, the second control switch 54-2 may be controlled to be closed, and the first control switch 54-1, the third control switch 54-3, the fourth control switch 54-4 and the fifth control switch 54-5 may be opened. Then, when only the first bidirectional switch 55-1 is switched to its 1 end, the second bidirectional switch 55-2, the third bidirectional switch 55-3 and the fourth bidirectional switch 55-4 are all switched to their respective 2 ends, and the first switching end 1 of the rectifier switching unit 16 corresponding to the first row group is connected to the fixed end 3, the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1 and the electrode unit 33-2 are connected in series and powered on, and the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the remaining electrode units 33 are powered off, and the signal end 35-2 of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1 is short-circuited on the first detection channel A in the group of ADC units 52, and the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1 and the electrode unit 33-2 are connected in series. Since only the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-2 The ground terminal 35-1 of the unit 35 is connected to the ground, while the ground terminals 35-1 of the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-3, 33-4 and 33-5 are disconnected, and each temperature detection unit 35 (including the temperature sensor 34) is connected in series with the corresponding diode 36, which will not affect the resistance of the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-1 and 33-2. Therefore, only the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-1 and 33-2 are effectively operated on the first detection channel A of the group of ADC units 52. The temperature detection signal (voltage value) collected by the first detection channel A is the sum of the voltage values of the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-1 and 33-2. The voltage value of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1 is subtracted to obtain the voltage value of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-2, thereby realizing accurate temperature detection at the electrode unit 33-2.
[0123] Similarly, when only the second bidirectional switch 55-2 is switched to its 1 end, the first bidirectional switch 55-1, the third bidirectional switch 55-3 and the fourth bidirectional switch 55-4 are all switched to their respective 2 ends, and the first switching end 1 of the rectifier switching unit 16 corresponding to the second row group is connected to the fixed end 3, the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-6 and 33-7 are connected in series and powered on, and the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the remaining electrode units 33 are powered off, and the signal end 35-2 of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-6 is short-circuited on the second detection channel B in the group of ADC units 52, and the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-6 and 33-7 are connected in series. Since only the ground end 35-1 of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-7 is turned on and grounded, while the electrode units 33-8 and 33-7 are connected in series, the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-6 and 33-7 are connected in series. -9. The ground terminals 35-1 of the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-10 are disconnected, and each temperature detection unit 35 (including the temperature sensor 34) is connected in series with the corresponding diode 36, which will not affect the resistance values of the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-6 and 33-7. Therefore, only the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-6 and 33-7 are effectively operated on the second detection channel B of the ADC unit 52. The temperature detection signal (voltage value) collected by the second detection channel B is the sum of the voltage values of the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33-6 and 33-7. The voltage value of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-6 is subtracted from the voltage value of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-6, so as to obtain the voltage value of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-7, thereby realizing accurate temperature detection at the electrode unit 33-7.
[0124] By analogy, the temperature detection signals of the electrode units 33 of the second column group can be collected in sequence through the detection channels A, B, C, and D in the group of ADC units 52 .
[0125] Similarly, the temperature detection signals of the electrode units 33 of the third column group, the fourth column group and the fifth column group can be sampled one by one based on the above method.
[0126] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, by controlling the switch 54, the bidirectional switching switch 55 and the controllable switch 162 in the rectifier switching unit 16, the temperature detection at each electrode unit 33 can be achieved without mutual interference and with high detection accuracy.
[0127] Specifically, when it is necessary to apply an alternating electric signal to each electrode unit 33 of a certain electrode sheet 13, the first controller 51 of the adapter 20 or the second controller 37 of the electric field generator 30 controls the two ends of each of the multiple bidirectional switching switches 55 of the multiplexing switching unit electrically connected to the electrode sheet 13 to be turned on and one end to be turned off, and at the same time, the second switching end 2 of the corresponding rectifying switching unit 16 is connected to the fixed end 3, and a power supply switch 40 electrically connected to the electrode sheet 13 is controlled to be turned on. At this time, the second controller 37 of the electric field generator 30 controls the AC signal generator 39 to apply an alternating electric signal to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 through the alternating power line 57, and the voltage or current of the applied alternating electric signal is adjustable. That is, the multiplexing switching unit is also configured to switch the multi-channel target dual-purpose signal line 19 to be connected to the alternating power line 57, and to be linked through the rectifying switching unit 16 corresponding to the multi-channel target dual-purpose signal line 19, so that the second switching end 2 of the rectifying switching unit 16 corresponding to the multi-channel target dual-purpose signal line 19 is connected to the fixed end 3, so that each electrode unit 33 in the row group corresponding to the multi-channel target dual-purpose signal line 19 is simultaneously applied with the alternating electrical signal based on the alternating power line 57.
[0128] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the first controller 51 of the adapter 20 or the second controller 37 of the electric field generator 30 can also control a group of bidirectional switches 55 electrically connected to a certain electrode sheet 13 to apply an alternating electric signal to some electrode units 33 of the electrode sheet 13 in the same time period. For example, the first controller 51 of the adapter 20 or the second controller 37 of the electric field generator 30 controls the first bidirectional switch 55-1 of the plurality of bidirectional switches 55 of the group of bidirectional switches 55 electrically connected to the electrode sheet 13 to turn on two ends and turn off one end, the second switching end 2 of the rectifier switching unit 16 linked thereto is connected to the fixed end 3, and controls a power supply switch 40 electrically connected to the electrode sheet 13 to turn on, at this time, the second controller 37 of the electric field generator 30 controls the AC signal generator 39 to apply an alternating electric signal to the first row group electrode units 33-1 to electrode units 33-5 of the electrode sheet 13 through the alternating power line 57, and the voltage or current of the applied alternating electric signal is adjustable. That is, the multiplexing switching unit is configured to switch the dual-purpose signal line 19 corresponding to each row group to be connected to the alternating power line 57, so that the electrode units 33 of each row group are simultaneously applied with an alternating electrical signal based on the alternating power line 57. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the alternating electrical signal can also be simultaneously applied to the electrode units 33 of two or three row groups in the same time period, which will not be described in detail here.
[0129] It should be noted that the control switch 54 electrically connected to the multi-way grounding wires 18 of the electrode sheet 13 and the bidirectional switch 55 electrically connected to the multi-way dual-purpose signal wires 19 of the electrode sheet 13 in the embodiment of the present application are both provided in the adapter 20, but in other embodiments, the control switch 54 electrically connected to the grounding wire 18 and the bidirectional switch 55 electrically connected to the dual-purpose signal wire 19 can also be provided on the electrode sheet 13 or provided in the electric field generator 30, which will not be described in detail here. In addition, the ADC unit 52 provided in the adapter 20 can also be provided in the electric field generator 30 and directly controlled by the second controller 37.
[0130] The tumor electric field therapy system 100 of the present application can realize real-time, comprehensive and accurate monitoring of the temperature of all electrode units 33 on the electrode sheet 13 without increasing the weight of the electrode sheet 13 and without adding the core of the first cable 15 electrically connected to the electrode sheet 13, and then determine whether the electrode sheet 13 is qualified according to the obtained temperature detection signal; or determine whether the temperature detection unit 35 of the electrode sheet 13 is faulty or abnormal according to the obtained temperature detection signal, and determine whether the electrode sheet 13 needs to be replaced based on the number of faulty or abnormal temperature detection units 35 obtained; or identify the type of the electrode sheet according to the obtained temperature detection signal when the electrode sheet is qualified; or determine whether the electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 is over-temperature according to the obtained temperature detection signal when the electrode sheet is qualified, and then control the alternating electric signal applied to the electrode sheet 13 or the electrode unit 33 of the corresponding row of the electrode sheet 13 to avoid low-temperature burns on the patient's body surface when the tumor is treated by the electrode sheet 13. In addition, the substrate 31 of the electrode sheet 13 of the present application can transmit both alternating electrical signals and direct current signals for temperature signal collection through the dual-purpose signal line 19, and the two functions are completely isolated through the multiplexing switching unit and the rectifying switching unit 16, which not only greatly reduces the number of conductive traces (grounding line 18, dual-purpose signal line 19) arranged thereon, reduces the wiring difficulty of the substrate 31, simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces the weight of the substrate 31, and reduces the manufacturing cost. The electrode sheet 13 of the present application can also realize effective switching between applying alternating electrical signals for tumor treatment and transmitting direct current signals for temperature collection and transmitting the temperature detection signals obtained by collection through the combined control of the control switch 54 electrically connected to the grounding line 18 arranged thereon, the bidirectional switching switch 55 electrically connected to the dual-purpose signal line 19, and the rectifying switching unit 16.
[0131] Specifically, when it is necessary to apply an alternating electric signal to the patient through the electrode units 33 of a certain electrode sheet 13, the first controller 51 of the adapter 20 or the second controller 37 of the electric field generator 30 controls to disconnect all the control switches 54 in a group of control switches 54 corresponding to the electrode sheet 13, and at the same time controls to switch all the bidirectional switching switches 55 in a group of bidirectional switching switches 55 corresponding to the electrode sheet 13 to their respective two ends, so that one end of the bidirectional switching switches 55 is all disconnected and the two ends are all turned on, so that all the dual-purpose signal lines 19 of the electrode sheet 13 are electrically connected to the adapter 20 and an alternating power line 57 corresponding to the electrode sheet 13, and based on the linkage of each rectifier switching unit 16, the alternating electric signal is transmitted to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13. When the digital temperature signal obtained by converting the temperature detection signal of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to all the electrode units 33 of the detected electrode sheet 13 is much lower than the preset temperature threshold stored in the electric field generator 30 or the adapter 20, the electric field generator 30 controls the AC signal generator 39 through its second controller 37 to continue to generate an alternating electric signal with an increased voltage or current amplitude, or a constant voltage or current amplitude, and then transmits it to the corresponding pair of electrode sheets 13 through an alternating power line 57 corresponding to the adapter 20, so that the pair of electrode sheets 13 continue to apply the alternating electric signal; when the digital temperature signal obtained by converting the temperature detection signal of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to all the electrode units 33 of the detected electrode sheet 13 is lower than but close to the preset temperature threshold stored in the electric field generator 30 or the adapter 20, the electric field generator 30 can reduce the alternating electric signal generated by the AC signal generator 39 through the second controller 37. The voltage or current of the signal is reduced, thereby reducing the voltage or current of the alternating electric signal applied to the pair of electrode sheets 13; when it is detected that a digital temperature signal obtained by converting the temperature detection signal of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to an electrode unit 33 in a certain electrode sheet 13 is greater than a preset temperature threshold, the electric field generator 30 controls the power supply switch 40 electrically connected to the electrode sheet 13 to be disconnected through the second controller 37 to stop applying the alternating electric signal to the electrode sheet 13; or the second controller 37 of the electric field generator 30 or the first controller 51 of the adapter 20 controls all the two-way switching switches 55 in a group of two-way switching switches 55 electrically connected to the electrode sheet 13 to switch from their two ends to one end, that is, control all the one ends of all the two-way switching switches 55 in a group of two-way switching switches 55 electrically connected to the electrode sheet 13 to be turned on and all the two ends to be turned off, thereby stopping applying the alternating electric signal to the electrode sheet 13;Or, when it is detected that a digital temperature signal obtained by converting the temperature detection signal of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to an electrode unit 33 of a certain electrode sheet 13 is greater than a preset temperature threshold, the second controller 37 of the electric field generator 30 controls the power switch 40 electrically connected to the electrode sheet 13 to continue to be turned on, and the second controller 37 of the electric field generator 30 or the first controller 51 of the adapter 20 controls a bidirectional switch 55 electrically connected to the electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 to switch from its 2nd end to its 1st end, and the second controller 37 of the electric field generator 30 or the first controller 51 of the adapter 20 simultaneously controls the bidirectional switch 55 electrically connected to the electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 to switch from its 2nd end to its 1st end. The remaining two-way switching switches 55 electrically connected to the electrode units 33 in different rows from the electrode units 33 whose digital temperature signals obtained by temperature detection signal conversion do not exceed the preset temperature threshold and whose digital temperature signals obtained by temperature detection signal conversion exceed the preset temperature threshold continue to be electrically connected to their respective two ends, so as to stop applying alternating electric signals to all electrode units 33 in the row where the electrode units 33 whose digital temperature signals obtained by temperature detection signal conversion exceed the preset temperature threshold are located, and continue to apply alternating electric signals to the electrode units 33 in the remaining rows where the digital temperature signals obtained by temperature detection signal conversion do not exceed the preset temperature threshold. In this way, the control method for applying alternating electric signals based on temperature detection signals of the tumor electric field treatment system 100 is realized, and the operation of the tumor electric field treatment system 100 is reliably and efficiently controlled to improve the treatment effect. ;
[0132] The present application embodiment provides an electrode sheet temperature detection method, which is applied to the above-mentioned electrode sheet 13 or tumor electric field treatment system 100, referring to Figure 8 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0133] Step 210: Control the multiplexing switching unit so that the dual-purpose signal line 19 corresponding to any row group in the corresponding electrode sheet 13 is connected to the corresponding temperature sampling point, wherein the first switching end 1 of the rectifier switching unit 16 corresponding to the row group in the corresponding electrode sheet 13 is connected to the fixed end 3.
[0134] Specifically, the power supply switch 40, the bidirectional switching switch 55 electrically connected to the electrode units 33 of the electrode sheet 13, and the rectifying switching unit 16 are controlled to disconnect the alternating electric signal applied to the electrode units 33 of the electrode sheet 13, and at the same time connect the direct current signal applied to the signal terminal 35-2 of the temperature detection unit 35 of the electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13.
[0135] Further, the bidirectional switching switch 55 electrically connected to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 is controlled to switch from one end electrically connected to the alternating electric signal to one end electrically connected to the direct electric signal, that is, the bidirectional switching switch 55 electrically connected to the electrode sheet 13 is controlled to switch from its 2nd end to its 1st end, and at the same time, the rectifying switching unit 16 is switched from the second switching end 2 to the first switching end 1 and connected to the fixed end 3; or, the bidirectional switching switch 55 electrically connected to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 is controlled so that the electrode unit 33 of each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 switches from the on state to the off state, and at the same time, the signal end 35-2 of the temperature detection unit 35 of each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 switches from the off state to the on state.
[0136] Step 220: Control the control switch 54 corresponding to each column group to sample the analog temperature signal of the corresponding electrode unit based on the corresponding temperature sampling point.
[0137] Specifically, the control switch 54 electrically connected to the ground terminal 35 - 1 of the temperature detection unit 35 of each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 is turned on in a time-sequential manner to obtain the temperature detection signal of the temperature detection unit 35 of each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 .
[0138] In some embodiments, controlling the control switch 54 corresponding to each column group includes:
[0139] The control switches 54 corresponding to each column group are controlled to be closed in sequence, so as to sample the analog temperature signals detected by the temperature detection units 35 in the row group in sequence based on the corresponding temperature sampling points.
[0140] In some other embodiments, when the control switch 54 corresponding to any one of the column groups is closed, the method further includes:
[0141] The multiplexing switching unit is controlled so that the dual-purpose signal lines 19 corresponding to each row group in the corresponding electrode sheet 13 are connected to the corresponding temperature sampling points in sequence, so that the analog temperature signals detected by each temperature detection unit 35 in the column group are sampled respectively based on the corresponding temperature sampling points.
[0142] By adopting the temperature detection method of the electrode sheet 13 of the present application, the temperature of all the electrode units 35 of the electrode sheet 13 can be obtained quickly and accurately; and based on the obtained temperature detection signals of all the temperature detection units 35 of the electrode sheet 13, it can be judged whether the temperature detection units 35 of the electrode sheet 13 are faulty, whether there is an abnormality, or whether the electrode sheet 13 is qualified or needs to be replaced; it is also possible to judge whether each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 is over-temperature based on the obtained temperature detection signals of all the temperature detection units 35 of the electrode sheet 13 when each temperature detection unit 35 of the electrode sheet 13 is normal, and then control the alternating electric signal applied to the electrode sheet 13 or to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 to improve the treatment effect; it is also possible to identify the type of electrode sheet when there is no abnormality in the temperature detection signals of each temperature detection unit 35 of the electrode sheet 13.
[0143] The first controller 51 or the electric field generator 30 in the adapter 20 of the tumor electric field therapy system 100 of the embodiment of the present application is provided with a preset threshold, a first preset temperature, a second preset temperature and a preset temperature threshold, wherein the first preset temperature is lower than the second preset temperature, and the second preset temperature is lower than the preset temperature threshold.
[0144] Reference Fig. 9 As shown, the present application also provides a method for detecting abnormal temperature of an electrode sheet, which comprises the following steps:
[0145] Step 210: Control the multiplexing switching unit so that the dual-purpose signal line 19 corresponding to any row group in the corresponding electrode sheet 13 is connected to the corresponding temperature sampling point, wherein the first switching end 1 of the rectifier switching unit 16 corresponding to the row group in the corresponding electrode sheet 13 is connected to the fixed end 3.
[0146] Step 220 : Control the control switch 54 corresponding to each column group so as to sample the analog temperature signal of the corresponding electrode unit 33 based on the corresponding temperature sampling point to determine the temperature detection signal of each electrode unit 33 in each electrode sheet 13 .
[0147] Step 230: Determine whether the electrode sheet 13 is abnormal according to the temperature detection signal.
[0148] In some embodiments, determining whether the electrode sheet 13 is abnormal according to the temperature detection signal in step 230 specifically includes the following steps:
[0149] Step 231: Compare the temperature of each electrode unit 33 in the corresponding electrode sheet 13 with a preset temperature threshold according to the temperature detection signal. Specifically, the digital temperature signal corresponding to the temperature detection signal detected by the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to each electrode unit 33 in the electrode sheet 13 can be compared with the preset temperature threshold.
[0150] Step 232: Determine whether the temperature of the electrode sheet 13 is abnormal based on the comparison result. Specifically, determine whether the temperature of each electrode unit 33 in the electrode sheet 13 is abnormal based on the comparison result.
[0151] The comparison result in step 232 includes not exceeding the preset temperature threshold and exceeding the preset temperature threshold. Not exceeding the preset temperature threshold includes being far below the preset temperature threshold and being close to the preset temperature threshold. The preset temperature threshold is 40°C-42°C. Optionally, the preset temperature threshold is 40.5°C-41.5°C. Optionally, the preset temperature threshold is 41°C-41.5°C. Optionally, the preset temperature threshold is 41°C.
[0152] The process of judging whether the temperature of the electrode sheet 13 is abnormal according to the comparison result in step 232 is specifically as follows: when the temperature of any electrode unit 33 in the corresponding electrode sheet 13 exceeds the preset temperature threshold, it is determined that the temperature of the electrode sheet 13 is abnormal. When the temperature of all electrode units 33 in the corresponding electrode sheet 13 does not exceed the preset temperature threshold, it is determined that the temperature of the electrode sheet 13 is not abnormal.
[0153] In some other embodiments, judging whether the electrode sheet 13 is abnormal according to the temperature detection signal in step 230 specifically includes the following steps:
[0154] Step 233: When it is determined according to the temperature detection signal that any one of the electrode units 33 in the corresponding electrode sheet 13 is abnormal or fails, the electrode sheet 13 is determined to be unqualified.
[0155] Specifically, it is determined whether the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to each electrode unit 33 in the electrode sheet 13 is abnormal or fails according to the temperature detection signal detected by the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to each electrode unit 33 in the electrode sheet 13; and then it is determined whether the electrode sheet 13 is qualified according to whether the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to each electrode unit 33 in the electrode sheet 13 is abnormal or fails. When the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to each electrode unit 33 in the electrode sheet 13 is abnormal or fails, the electrode sheet 13 is determined to be unqualified; when the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to each electrode unit 33 in the electrode sheet 13 is not abnormal or fails, the electrode sheet 13 is determined to be qualified.
[0156] In some other embodiments, judging whether the electrode sheet 13 is abnormal according to the temperature detection signal in step 230 specifically includes the following steps:
[0157] Step 234: when it is determined according to the temperature detection signal that there are abnormal or faulty electrode units 33 in the corresponding electrode sheet 13, the number of the abnormal or faulty electrode units 33 is determined.
[0158] Step 235: When the number of abnormal or faulty electrode units 33 reaches a preset threshold, it is determined that the electrode sheet 13 needs to be replaced.
[0159] Specifically, based on the temperature detection signals of the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33 in the electrode sheet 13, it is determined whether there is an abnormality or a fault in the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33 in the electrode sheet 13; then, based on whether there is an abnormality or a fault in the temperature detection units 35 corresponding to the electrode units 33 in the electrode sheet 13, it is determined whether the electrode sheet 13 needs to be replaced.
[0160] For example, when the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to each electrode unit 33 in the electrode sheet 13 is abnormal or faulty and the number of the abnormal or faulty temperature detection units 35 exceeds the preset threshold, it is determined that the electrode sheet 13 needs to be replaced; when the number of the temperature detection units 35 that are abnormal or faulty in the electrode sheet 13 does not exceed the preset threshold, it is determined that the electrode sheet 13 does not need to be replaced. The preset threshold is 20% of the total number of all temperature detection units 35 of the electrode sheet 13.
[0161] Reference Fig.10 As shown, the present application also provides a control method of a tumor electric field treatment system, which comprises the following steps:
[0162] Step 210: Control the multiplexing switching unit so that the dual-purpose signal line 19 corresponding to any row group in the corresponding electrode sheet 13 is connected to the corresponding temperature sampling point, wherein the first switching end 1 of the rectifier switching unit 16 corresponding to the row group in the corresponding electrode sheet 13 is connected to the fixed end 3.
[0163] Step 220 : Control the control switch 54 corresponding to each column group so as to sample the analog temperature signal of the corresponding electrode unit 33 based on the corresponding temperature sampling point to determine the temperature detection signal of each electrode unit 33 in each electrode sheet 13 .
[0164] Step 240: Control the intensity of the alternating electric signal applied to the electrode unit 33 according to the temperature detection signal.
[0165] Specifically, when it is determined that the electrode sheet 13 does not need to be replaced, the alternating electric signal applied to each electrode unit 33 in the electrode sheet 13 is controlled or adjusted according to the temperature detection signal detected by the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to each electrode unit 33 in the electrode sheet 13. In other words, steps 234-235 can be added between step 240 and step 220.
[0166] In some embodiments, controlling the intensity of the alternating electrical signal applied to the electrode unit 33 according to the temperature detection signal in step 240 specifically includes the following steps:
[0167] Step 241: Compare the temperature of each electrode unit 33 in the electrode sheet 13 with a preset temperature threshold according to the temperature detection signal.
[0168] Step 242: Control the strength of the alternating electric signal according to the comparison result.
[0169] In some embodiments, controlling the strength of the alternating electric signal according to the comparison result in step 242 specifically includes:
[0170] Step 2421: When the temperature at at least one electrode unit 33 exceeds a preset temperature threshold, stop applying the alternating electric signal to the electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13. Specifically, when the temperature detection signals of all the electrode units 33 of the electrode sheet 13 obtained have a temperature exceeding the preset temperature threshold, stop applying the alternating electric signal to the electrode units 33 of the electrode sheet 13. When the temperature detection signals of each electrode unit 33 in the electrode sheet 13 obtained do not exceed the preset temperature threshold, continue to apply the alternating electric signal to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13.
[0171] In some embodiments, stopping applying the alternating electric signal to the electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 in step 2421 specifically includes: stopping applying the alternating electric signal to all electrode units 33 of the electrode sheet 13; or stopping applying the alternating electric signal to all electrode units 33 in the row group of the electrode units 33 in the electrode sheet 13 that exceed a preset temperature threshold.
[0172] Further, when the application of the alternating electric signal to all the electrode units 33 in the row group where the electrode unit 33 exceeding the preset temperature threshold in the electrode sheet 13 is located is stopped, the alternating electric signal continues to be applied to the electrode units 33 in other row groups in the electrode sheet 13. The intensity of the alternating electric signal applied to the electrode units 33 in other row groups in the electrode sheet 13 is adjustable. For example, all the electrode units 33 in the electrode sheet 13 whose corresponding temperature of the temperature detection signal does not exceed the preset temperature threshold and are in a different row from the electrode unit 33 whose temperature detection signal exceeds the preset temperature threshold continue to be applied with the alternating electric signal, and the signal is adjustable.
[0173] In some other embodiments, controlling the strength of the alternating electric signal according to the comparison result in step 242 specifically includes:
[0174] Step 2422: When the temperatures at all electrode units 33 in the electrode sheet 13 do not exceed the preset temperature threshold, if the temperatures at all electrode units 33 in the electrode sheet 13 do not exceed the first preset temperature, increase the intensity of the alternating electric signal applied to the electrode units 33 of the electrode sheet 13, wherein the first preset temperature is less than the preset temperature threshold.
[0175] In step 2422, the electric field strengths corresponding to the row groups whose alternating electric signal strengths are increased have the same increase amplitude.
[0176] Step 2423: When the temperatures at all electrode units 33 in the electrode sheet 13 do not exceed the preset temperature threshold, if there is at least one electrode unit 33 in the electrode sheet 13 whose temperature exceeds the first preset temperature and is less than the preset temperature threshold, the strength of the alternating electric signal currently applied to the electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 is maintained unchanged.
[0177] Step 2424: When the temperatures at all electrode units 33 in the electrode sheet 13 do not exceed the preset temperature threshold, if the temperature at at least one electrode unit 33 in the electrode sheet 13 exceeds the second preset temperature and is less than the preset temperature threshold, the intensity of the alternating electric signal applied to the electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 is reduced, wherein the second preset temperature is greater than the first preset temperature and less than the preset temperature threshold.
[0178] In step 2424, the electric field strengths corresponding to the row groups whose alternating electric signal strengths are reduced have the same reduction amplitude.
[0179] Exemplarily, when the temperature corresponding to the temperature detection signal is much lower than the preset temperature threshold, the alternating electric signal is continuously applied to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 in a manner of increasing the voltage or current amplitude of the alternating electric signal applied to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13, or the alternating electric signal is continuously applied to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 in a manner of keeping the voltage or current amplitude of the alternating electric signal applied to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 unchanged. When the temperature corresponding to the temperature detection signal is close to the preset temperature threshold, the alternating electric signal is continuously applied to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 in a manner of keeping the voltage or current amplitude of the alternating electric signal applied to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 unchanged, or the alternating electric signal is continuously applied to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 in a manner of reducing the voltage or current amplitude of the alternating electric signal applied to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13.
[0180] In some other embodiments, controlling the strength of the alternating electric signal according to the comparison result in step 242 specifically includes:
[0181] Step 2425: When the temperature at at least one electrode unit 33 exceeds a preset temperature threshold, determine the number of over-temperature row groups.
[0182] Step 2426: When the number of over-temperature row groups exceeds a preset number threshold, stop applying the alternating electric signal to all electrode units 33 of the electrode sheet 13 .
[0183] Step 2427: When the number of over-temperature row groups does not exceed the preset number threshold, stop applying the alternating electrical signal to all electrode units 33 in the row group where the electrode units 33 exceeding the preset temperature threshold in the electrode sheet 13 are located.
[0184] Furthermore, when the application of the alternating electric signal to all the electrode units 33 in the row group where the electrode unit 33 exceeding the preset temperature threshold in the electrode sheet 13 is located is stopped, the alternating electric signal continues to be applied to the electrode units 33 in other row groups in the electrode sheet 13. The intensity of the alternating electric signal applied to the electrode units 33 in other row groups in the electrode sheet 13 is adjustable.
[0185] Step 2428: When the number of over-temperature row groups does not exceed the preset number threshold, if the temperature at each electrode unit 33 in the non-over-temperature row group does not exceed the first preset temperature, increase the intensity of the alternating electric signal applied to the electrode unit 33 of the non-over-temperature row group, wherein the first preset temperature is less than the preset temperature threshold.
[0186] In step 2428, the electric field strengths corresponding to the row groups whose alternating electric signal strengths are increased have the same increase amplitude.
[0187] Step 2429: When the number of over-temperature row groups does not exceed the preset number threshold, if the temperature of at least one electrode unit 33 in the non-over-temperature row group exceeds the first preset temperature and is less than the preset temperature threshold, the strength of the alternating electric signal currently applied to the electrode unit 33 of the non-over-temperature row group remains unchanged.
[0188] Step 2430: When the number of over-temperature row groups does not exceed the preset number threshold, if the temperature of at least one electrode unit 33 in the non-over-temperature row group exceeds the second preset temperature and is less than the preset temperature threshold, the intensity of the alternating electric signal applied to the electrode unit 33 of the non-over-temperature row group is reduced, wherein the second preset temperature is greater than the first preset temperature and less than the preset temperature threshold.
[0189] In step 2430, the electric field strengths corresponding to the row groups whose alternating electric signal strengths are reduced have the same reduction amplitude.
[0190] Exemplarily, when the temperature corresponding to the temperature detection signal is much lower than the preset temperature threshold, the alternating electric signal is continuously applied to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 in a manner of increasing the voltage or current amplitude of the alternating electric signal applied to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13, or the alternating electric signal is continuously applied to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 in a manner of keeping the voltage or current amplitude of the alternating electric signal applied to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 unchanged. When the temperature corresponding to the temperature detection signal is close to the preset temperature threshold, the alternating electric signal is continuously applied to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 in a manner of keeping the voltage or current amplitude of the alternating electric signal applied to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 unchanged, or the alternating electric signal is continuously applied to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 in a manner of reducing the voltage or current amplitude of the alternating electric signal applied to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13.
[0191] Reference Fig.11 As shown, the present application also provides an electrode sheet type identification method, which comprises the following steps:
[0192] Step 210: Control the multiplexing switching unit so that the dual-purpose signal line 19 corresponding to any row group in the corresponding electrode sheet 13 is connected to the corresponding temperature sampling point, wherein the first switching end 1 of the rectifier switching unit 16 corresponding to the row group in the corresponding electrode sheet 13 is connected to the fixed end 3.
[0193] Step 220 : Control the control switch 54 corresponding to each column group so as to sample the analog temperature signal of the corresponding electrode unit 33 based on the corresponding temperature sampling point to determine the temperature detection signal of each electrode unit 33 in each electrode sheet 13 .
[0194] Step 250: Identify the type of the electrode sheet 13 according to the temperature detection signal.
[0195] Specifically, when the electrode sheet 13 is qualified or each temperature detection unit 35 of the electrode sheet 13 has no abnormality or failure, the type of the electrode sheet 13 is identified based on the temperature detection signal detected by the temperature detection unit 35 of each electrode unit 33 in the electrode sheet 13.

[0197] Reference Fig.12As shown, the present application also provides a signal control method for tumor electric field therapy, which is used for the above-mentioned electrode sheet 13, and the method includes:
[0198] Step 310: Combining and controlling the control switch 54 and the bidirectional switch 55 electrically connected to the corresponding electrode sheet 13 to apply an alternating electrical signal to each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 and executing step 320;
[0199] Step 320: Combining and controlling the control switch 54 and the bidirectional switch 55 electrically connected to the electrode sheet 13 to collect the temperature detection signals of the electrode units 33 of the electrode sheet 13 in rows or columns and executing step 330;
[0200] Step 330: Determine the combined control mode of the control switch 54 and the bidirectional switch 55 electrically connected to the electrode sheet 13 according to the collected temperature detection signal and execute step 340;
[0201] Step 340 : Control the working state of each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 according to the determined combined control mode of the control switch 54 and the bidirectional switch 55 .
[0202] The working state of each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 in step 340 includes at least one of: stopping applying the alternating electric signal and continuing to collect the temperature detection signal and stopping collecting the temperature detection signal and continuing to apply the alternating electric signal. Continuing to apply the alternating electric signal includes continuing to apply the alternating electric signal in a manner of increasing the voltage or current amplitude of the currently applied alternating electric signal, or continuing to apply the alternating electric signal in a manner of keeping the voltage or current amplitude of the currently applied alternating electric signal unchanged, or continuing to apply the alternating electric signal in a manner of reducing the voltage or current amplitude of the currently applied alternating electric signal.
[0203] The working state of each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 is determined by the temperature detection signal collected by it. Each electrode unit 33 of the electrode sheet 13 is divided into different areas, and each electrode unit 33 in each area can be cyclically switched between applying an alternating electric signal and collecting a temperature detection signal through the combination of a control switch 54 and a bidirectional switch 55.
[0204] The present application embodiment provides another electrode temperature detection method for the tumor electric field treatment system 100, please refer to Fig.13 As shown, the temperature detection method includes:
[0205] Step 510: disconnect the input of the alternating electric signal of the electrode sheet 13, perform combination control on the multiple control switches 54 and the multiple bidirectional switching switches 55, and obtain the temperature detection signal of the temperature sensor 34 of the electrode sheet 13 corresponding to each combination in all the combinations;
[0206] Step 520: sampling and converting the temperature detection signal detected by each temperature sensor 34 in the electrode sheet 13 to obtain a digital temperature signal;
[0207] Step 530: Transmit the digital temperature signal to the electric field generator 30 of the tumor electric field treatment system 100, so that the electric field generator 30 determines the temperature at the corresponding electrode unit 33 according to the digital temperature signal.
[0208] In step 510, the combined control of the plurality of control switches 54 and the plurality of bidirectional switching switches 55 specifically includes:
[0209] Step 511: Control the plurality of bidirectional switches 55 so that the dual-purpose signal lines 19 corresponding to each row group in the corresponding electrode sheet 13 are sequentially connected to the corresponding temperature sampling points; place one bidirectional switch 55 at end 1, and the remaining bidirectional switches 55 at ends 2, so as to conduct the electrical connection between the signal end 35-2 of each temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to each electrode unit 33 in the row group corresponding to the bidirectional switch 55 placed at end 1 and the corresponding ADC unit 52;
[0210] Step 512: Sequentially and individually closing one of the plurality of control switches 54 in a time-sharing manner to collect temperature detection signals detected by each temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to each electrode unit 33 in the corresponding row group one by one.
[0211] In step 512 , by sequentially and individually closing one of the plurality of control switches 54 in a time-sharing manner, the ADC unit 52 and each temperature detection unit 35 in the column group corresponding to the closed control switch 54 can be grounded in sequence.
[0212] Thus, the temperature detection signals of the corresponding temperature detection units 35 in each row group can be obtained in turn, and then after processing by the adapter 20 or the electric field generator 30, the corresponding temperatures of all the electrode units 33 on the electrode sheet 13 can be obtained, thereby making the temperature detection of the patient's body surface more comprehensive and accurate.
[0213] For the tumor electric field therapy system 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the temperature of a single electrode unit 33 can be detected. For example, the temperature of a single electrode unit 33 located in the first column group can be detected. Take the electrode unit 33-1 as an example: disconnect the input of the alternating electric signal, set the bidirectional switch 55 corresponding to the row group where the electrode unit 33-1 that needs to be individually measured is located to end 1, and set the remaining bidirectional switch 55 to end 2; at the same time, turn on and ground the control switch 54 corresponding to the column group where the electrode unit 33-1 that needs to be individually measured is located, and disconnect all the remaining control switches 54. In this way, the temperature detection signal of the temperature detection unit 35 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1 that needs to be individually measured can be sampled to obtain the temperature of the electrode unit 33-1. For example, the first bidirectional switch 55-1 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1 is placed at the 1 end, and the remaining bidirectional switches (55-2 to 55-4) are all placed at the 2 end; at the same time, the first control switch 54-1 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-1 is closed and grounded, and the remaining control switches (54-2 to 54-5) are all disconnected. In this way, the temperature of the electrode unit 33-1 can be detected. Similarly, the other electrode units 33-6, electrode units 33-11, and electrode units 33-16 in the first column group can also perform separate temperature detection. In addition to the temperature detection of the single electrode unit 33 in the first column group, the temperature detection signals of the other electrode units 33 are combined signals. For example, when the first bidirectional switch 55-1 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-2 is placed at the 1 end, the remaining bidirectional switches (55-2 to 55-4) are all placed at the 2 end; at the same time, the second control switch 54-2 corresponding to the electrode unit 33-2 is closed and grounded, and the remaining control switches (54-1, 54-3 to 54-5) are all disconnected, the temperature detection signal obtained at this time is the combined temperature detection signal of the electrode unit 33-1 and the electrode unit 33-2. The temperature detection signal of the electrode unit 33-2 is obtained by subtracting the temperature detection signal of the electrode unit 33-1 from the combined temperature detection signal.
[0214] The present application also provides another method for applying an alternating electric signal for tumor electric field therapy, which is applied to the above tumor electric field therapy system 100. Please refer to Fig.14 As shown, the alternating electric signal applying method includes:
[0215] Step 610: determining the area (1-4) where the electrode unit 33 to which the alternating electric signal needs to be applied in the electrode sheet 13 is located;
[0216] Step 611: Combining and controlling a plurality of control switches 54 and a plurality of bidirectional switching switches 55 electrically connected to the electrode sheet 13 to apply an alternating electrical signal.
[0217] In step 611, the combination of controlling the multiple control switches 54 and the multiple bidirectional switching switches 55 electrically connected to the electrode sheet 13 is specifically as follows:
[0218] Step 612: disconnect all control switches 54 electrically connected to the electrode sheet 13;
[0219] Step 613: determining the row groups where the electrode units 33 in the areas where the alternating electric signals need to be applied are located according to the areas where the electrode units 33 to which the alternating electric signals need to be applied are located;
[0220] Step 614: determining the bidirectional switches 55 electrically connected to the electrode units 33 in the row groups according to the row groups where the electrode units 33 to which the alternating electric signals need to be applied are located;
[0221] Step 615: Control the bidirectional switching switch 55 electrically connected to the electrode unit 33 to which the alternating electric signal needs to be applied so that the electrode unit 33 to which the alternating electric signal needs to be applied is electrically connected to the alternating power line 57 to apply the alternating electric signal; at the same time, control the remaining bidirectional switching switches 55 so that the electrical connection between each electrode unit 33 in the area where the alternating electric signal does not need to be applied and the alternating power line 57 is disconnected to stop applying the alternating electric signal.
[0222] In step 615, "the electrode units to which alternating electric signals need to be applied are electrically connected to the alternating power line 57 to apply the alternating electric signals and the electrode units 33 in the areas where alternating electric signals do not need to be applied are electrically disconnected from the alternating power line 57 to stop applying the alternating electric signals" is achieved by placing the bidirectional switching switches 55 electrically connected to the electrode units 33 in the row groups corresponding to the areas (1-4) in the electrode sheet 13 to which the alternating electric signals are to be applied at their two ends, and placing all the bidirectional switching switches 55 electrically connected to the electrode units 33 in the remaining row groups at their one end.
