[0076] Embodiment

[0077] This embodiment provides a method for controlling a fracture fixation device, as Figures 1 - 3As shown, it includes the following steps: constructing a fracture fixation device; wherein, the fracture fixation device includes: a first pressing plate 1 and a second pressing plate 2 arranged oppositely, an accommodation cavity is formed between the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate; a driver 3, arranged on the first pressing plate or the second pressing plate; a rope 4, connected to the output end of the driver, used to control the movement of the first pressing plate relative to the second pressing plate; a pressure sensor, arranged on the first pressing plate or the second pressing plate, and adapted to be correspondingly arranged relative to the fracture end and / or the radial artery; a controller, used to obtain the signal sent by the pressure sensor and control the start of the driver;

[0078] Specifically, in the step of constructing the fracture fixation device, it includes:

[0079] Directly scan the appearance of the patient's forearm with a 3D scanner, import the CT three-dimensional reconstruction data into a 3D printer for modeling, and print and produce a physical model through the forming technology of discretization, stacking / bonding; simulate the fracture reduction situation and the external fixation situation before reducing the fracture, realize the simulation before reduction, and can carry out personalized design of the fracture fixation device according to the different conditions of the patient.

[0080] Apply polycaprolactam as the external material of the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate, and make the dorsal and palmar sides into a hollow structure to facilitate local disassembly and placement of structures such as pressure pads.

[0081] In this embodiment, two pressure sensors are respectively installed at the fracture end and / or the radial artery. Specifically, a thin-film pressure sensor or a freely distributed micro pressure sensor can be used. The calculation formula for the output voltage of the pressure sensor is as follows:

[0082] V out (t) = S × P(t) + V offset

[0083] Wherein, V out (t) is the output voltage at time t, S represents the sensitivity of the pressure sensor, P(t) represents the pressure measured at time t, and V offset is the zero-offset voltage of the pressure sensor.

[0084] Furthermore, a hook-shaped structure is arranged at the edge of the fixation device, and the device is initially tightened by the "8" method common in the prior art with a rope lock. The tension generated by the initial tightening is as follows:

[0085] F initial (t) = 2 × K tension × sinΘ / 2,

[0086] Wherein F initial (t) is the tension generated by the initial tightening, and K tensionis the rope tension coefficient, and Θ is the crossing angle when using the "8" - shaped method.

[0087] The control method further includes the following steps:

[0088] S1. The pressure sensor obtains the real - time pressure value;

[0089] In this embodiment, a processor is installed inside the fixing device to receive the information of the pressure sensor and control the movement of the subsequent driver. The electrical signal generated by the pressure sensor is as follows:

[0090] Receive the control voltage; using the following formula:

[0091] V control (t) = K p ×(Ptarget(t) - P(t)) + K d ×(dP(t) / d t );

[0092] Wherein, V control (t) is the control voltage issued by the controller, P target (t) is the target pressure value, and K d is the differential control coefficient;

[0093] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the driver is a servo driver arranged outside the fixing device. After the rope is redirected through a roller or a sheave, it is connected to the push rod 5 of the servo driver.

[0094] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, a set of rope structures are respectively arranged at the proximal palm end and the proximal finger end of the outer fixing device to respectively control the tightening forces at the proximal palm end and the proximal finger end. Specifically: Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the rope arranged on the first pressing plate extends downward, and as Figure 2 shown, the rope arranged on the second pressing plate extends upward.

[0095] At the same time, annular structures 6 are sleeved on both the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate. The two annular structures are respectively arranged at the upper and lower positions of the fixing device. The annular structures play a role in pre - fixing the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate to prevent the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate from moving. At the same time, grooves are respectively arranged on the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate, and the annular structures are arranged in the grooves to achieve a stable effect.

[0096] The driver controls the change of the rope length according to the control voltage; using the following formula:

[0097] ΔL(t) = v control(t)×t action ;

[0098] where ΔL(t) is the change in the length of the rope, t action is the movement duration of the actuator, and v control (t) is the control rate formed by the actuator according to the control voltage.

[0099] S2. The controller obtains the real-time pressure value, adjusts the activity of the actuator according to the real-time pressure value, and calculates according to the following formula:

[0100] V feed (t) = K p × (P target (t) - P(t)) + K i × ∫(P target (t) - P(t))d t + K d ×

[0101] d / d t (P target (t) - P(t));

[0102] where V feed (t) is the activity of the actuator at time t, P(t) is the real-time pressure value at time t, and P target (t) is the target pressure value, K p is the proportional control coefficient, K d is the differential control coefficient, and ki is the integral control coefficient. The three control coefficients are used for the PID controller.

[0103] In this embodiment, P target (t) is the data built into the fracture fixation device. A memory is provided in the device, and the data is written into the memory before the device leaves the factory for the controller to call. At the same time, the doctor can manually adjust the data written into the memory according to the patient's condition.

[0104] S3. The actuator controls the rope to pull or relax according to the V feed (t), and the pressure sensor obtains the real-time pressure, where:

[0105] P(t) = K motion (t) × V feed (t);

[0106] where K motion (t) is the conversion coefficient of the actuator movement to force, which is pre-stored in the memory, and V feed (t) is the activity of the actuator received from the controller.

[0107] Subsequently, the force sensor connected to the driver feeds back the tension data of the rope to the controller.

[0108] S4. The controller compares the real-time pressure with the target pressure value to obtain the pressure difference ΔP(t), where:

[0109] ΔP(t) = P target (t) - P(t);

[0110] S5. Determine the relationship between the pressure difference and the preset pressure deviation threshold. When the absolute value of the pressure difference is greater than the preset pressure deviation threshold, repeat S1 - S4 until the absolute value of the pressure difference is less than the preset pressure deviation threshold.

[0111] In this embodiment, for the pressure detection of the pressure sensor and the pressure adjustment of the external fixation device, considering the variation characteristics of the treatment pressure over time, an event-triggered control mechanism is adopted. The pressure change situation is calculated and predicted through a tracking differentiator. According to the predicted value, the control window is opened according to the preset triggering strategy, and the nonlinear feedback control law based on type-2 fuzzy logic is called to calculate the feed amount of the linear motor. A drive instruction is sent to the servo driver responsible for adjusting the rope tension, and a step-by-step operation is performed until the tension enters the expected error limit set by the system.

[0112] When the clamping force of the fracture fixation device is no longer suitable for the patient, it is necessary to adjust the pressure value between the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate. In the present invention, first, the real-time pressure value is obtained through a pressure sensor, and then according to a preset formula, combined with preset parameters, the activity amount of the driver is adjusted, and the pressure value is dynamically adjusted continuously during the adjustment process until the difference between the actual pressure value and the preset pressure value is less than the set threshold. Through dynamic iteration, the pressure applied to the patient between the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate is adjusted to the optimal value.

[0113] In this embodiment, there is no need for the patient to make manual adjustments. The clamping force of the fracture fixation device and the shape of the fracture fixation device can be finely adjusted through the program in the controller, effectively ensuring the treatment accuracy for the patient while ensuring the adjustment accuracy.

[0114] In the fracture fixation device control method provided in this embodiment, the fracture fixation device is provided with a Bluetooth module. Through the Bluetooth module, signals sent and received by the mobile phone can be sent and received. At the same time, the mobile phone itself is connected to the cloud server, and the signals sent by the fracture fixation device can be processed. Specifically:

[0115] The control method further includes:

[0116] The verification step for abnormal data, including:

[0117] Obtain and calculate the rate of change of pressure according to the following formula: ΔP(t) = dP(t) / dt;

[0118] When ΔP(t) is greater than the preset threshold, send the real-time pressure value to the user's mobile phone;

[0119] The user's mobile phone uploads the pressure value to the cloud server;

[0120] The cloud server verifies the pressure data through the following formula:

[0121] P calibrated = P(t) × V scale + C offset

[0122] Where P calibrated represents the calibrated pressure value, P(t) represents the measured real-time pressure value, S scale represents the calibration scale factor, C offset represents the calibration offset;

[0123] Feed back the calibrated pressure value to the doctor's mobile phone.

[0124] Specifically, in this embodiment, the low-power Bluetooth BLE technology is introduced to transmit the pressure data collected by the pressure sensor to the patient's mobile phone. The data transmission volume D trans is calculated through the following formula:

[0125] D trans = B rate × T slot ;

[0126] Where B rate is the Bluetooth transmission rate, and T slot is the time slot length.

[0127] At the same time, the patient-side App is developed synchronously to receive the pressure data transmitted by Bluetooth and perform visual display. At the same time, the collected pressure data is uploaded to the cloud server for storage through the patient-side App. Refer to the following formula:

[0128] D cloud = f(BLE date );

[0129] In addition, the patient-side App is also developed synchronously. After the doctor understands the patient's pressure data through the App, professional judgment can be made, and the pressure or position of the fracture fixation device can be adjusted as needed. And the doctor issues an adjustment instruction in the App, such as manually updating the target pressure value, and the cloud server transmits the instruction to the intelligent external fixation device.

[0130] During the treatment process, P at different stages targetThey are often different. Generally speaking, different Ps are set in the front, middle, and back stages of the entire treatment cycle. target These values are usually obtained based on the doctor's experience. For patients of different ages, body types, and physical conditions, P target should also be adjusted in principle.

[0131] When the pressure change value of the fracture fixation device exceeds a certain threshold, it indicates that some abnormal conditions have occurred in the device at this time. These abnormal conditions are likely to cause discomfort to the patient and even have an adverse impact on the normal treatment.

[0132] Therefore, it is necessary to follow up on the real-time pressure change situation of the fracture fixation device. When the change rate exceeds a certain value, the device sends a signal to the patient's mobile phone. The mobile phone further sends a signal to the cloud server through the Internet. The cloud server verifies according to the sent signal and then sends the calculated data to the doctor's mobile app, enabling the doctor to obtain the situation of the fracture fixation device in a timely manner, thus facilitating subsequent operations. To achieve the online and remote operation of the device.

[0133] The fracture fixation device control method provided by the present invention further includes:

[0134] In the step of feeding back the calibrated pressure value to the doctor's mobile phone, it further includes: calculating the pressure abnormality percentage, using the following formula:

[0135] E = ∣P calibrated - P target ∣ / P target , where E represents the deviation degree;

[0136] Send the deviation degree to the doctor's mobile phone.

[0137] Specifically, by calculating the deviation degree, an icon can be formed on the doctor's mobile phone. Through the icon, the change situation of the pressure in the most recent measurement cycle can be displayed, enabling the doctor to timely determine whether it is necessary to remind the patient to perform manual operations. Or store these data to facilitate the doctor to optimize the preset values.

[0138] Furthermore, in this embodiment, it further includes: the doctor sends a power-off signal to the cloud server through the doctor's mobile phone; the cloud server sends a signal to the user's mobile phone; the user's mobile phone sends a signal to the Bluetooth module and controls the driver of the fracture fixation device to power off.

[0139] Specifically, when the doctor believes that the pressure adjustment of the device significantly exceeds the acceptable capacity of the patient, the device can be remotely controlled to stop, avoiding unnecessary pain to the patient. For example, when the doctor believes that the pressure after the device is adjusted is significantly too tight for the patient, the doctor sends a stop signal in the app on the mobile phone. This stop signal is transmitted through the Internet to the app on the patient's mobile phone, and the patient's mobile phone further sends the signal to the Bluetooth module of the device. The Bluetooth module sends the signal to the controller, and the controller further controls the driver to cut off the power. When the driver completes the power cut-off, at this time, the driver will no longer apply tension to the rope, and the patient can easily remove the device from his own body.

[0140] In this embodiment, an acoustic-optic prompt device is provided on the fracture fixation device, and the control method further includes an alarm prompt step, which is carried out according to the following formula:

[0141] ΔP(t) = dP(t) / dt;

[0142] When ΔP(t) exceeds the preset pressure change threshold, the controller sends a signal to the user terminal or the acoustic-optic prompt device.

[0143] In this embodiment, when the pressure change amount per unit time is greater than the preset pressure change threshold, as an implementation manner, the signal can be sent to the processor, and the processor can further control the acoustic-optic prompt device to start, thereby realizing the prompt for the user.
