[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] As Figure 1As shown, this embodiment specifically provides a power supply control method for a surgical robot. The surgical robot includes a power supply control module for outputting power, and the control method includes:

[0030] S1. Read the startup timing information of the corresponding electrical equipment of the surgical robot;

[0031] S2. According to the startup timing information, control the power supply control module to supply power to the electrical equipment in sequence.

[0032] The surgical robot may include a main body and different external electrical equipment. The power supply control method in this embodiment is based on the power supply control module of the surgical robot to supply power to different devices. In a preferred embodiment, the power supply control module outputs a DC power supply for power supply by converting and controlling the input power supply.

[0033] In step S1, for different electrical equipment, obtain their corresponding startup timing information. The timing information can be expressed by relative time, absolute time, or a combination thereof; relative time such as the startup sequence of several devices; absolute time such as turning on a certain device when reaching a certain moment, etc. On this basis, in step S2, control the power supply control module to power on each electrical equipment in sequence according to the startup timing, so as to achieve power consumption peak shifting and avoid corresponding overcurrent phenomena. Of course, several electrical equipment involved in the startup timing can be started simultaneously, and it is not required that they must have a sequence as long as the requirements of overcurrent protection are met. Preferably, after the surgical robot is started, step S1 is automatically executed to start the detection and control of power supply. As Figure 2 shown in the schematic diagram of the startup timing information, it can be seen that the power supply system first meets the working requirements of the corresponding DC and AC conversion modules. At the same time, the mechanical control system and related components can be powered on prior to the computer equipment.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, the power supply control module includes at least one DC power supply control board and at least one AC power supply control board; the electrical equipment includes DC electrical equipment and AC electrical equipment; the DC power supply control board is used to output DC power to the DC electrical equipment, and the AC power supply control board is used to output AC power to the AC electrical equipment; step S2 includes:

The power supply control method in this embodiment is based on the power control module of the surgical robot supplying power to different devices. In a preferred embodiment, the power control module outputs DC power for power supply through the conversion and control of the input power supply.

[0046] For different electrical devices, the information reading module 1 obtains the corresponding startup timing information, which can be expressed by relative time, absolute time, or a combination thereof; for example, the relative time is the startup sequence of several devices; the absolute time is, for example, turning on a certain device at a certain moment. On this basis, the power supply control module 2 controls the power supply control module to power on each electrical device in sequence according to the startup timing, so as to achieve peak shaving of electricity consumption and avoid the occurrence of corresponding overcurrent phenomena. Of course, several electrical devices involved in the startup timing can be started simultaneously, and there is no restriction that they must have a sequential order, as long as the requirements of overcurrent protection are met.

[0051] The order in which the power supply control module 2 supplies power to the DC electrical devices and the AC electrical devices in sequence is to supply power to the computer devices first, and then to the corresponding electrical devices and electric devices.

[0052] This embodiment specifically performs power transmission control on two types of electrical devices often involved in the application scenario of the surgical robot, first satisfying the relevant mechanical components of the robot, which usually better meets the application requirements in the surgical environment; at the same time, the power input of the computer device usually has more choices, so the adjustable range is larger.

[0053] Based on the analysis of different power-consuming components of the surgical robot in this embodiment, the power supply control system rationally designs the corresponding power control logic, thereby enabling the components of the surgical robot system to obtain independent DC power supply. By controlling the power-on time of the power-consuming components, it can effectively prevent current surges during power-on and effectively ensure the safe and stable operation of the surgical robot, which has industry promotion significance.
