Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a liquid injection device and an injection control method. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the medical field, syringe systems play an important role in the precise injection of liquid medicine or contrast medium during X-ray, nuclear magnetic resonance and ultrasonic diagnosis and treatment. Traditional syringe systems, such as the syringe and hose system disclosed in patent CN1013371068, control the pumping of liquid medicine or contrast medium into the human body by driving the pump.
[0003] With the development of technology, some improved solutions have been proposed, such as the syringe for injecting liquid and the control method disclosed in patent CN104689421B, which detects the pressure of the liquid delivered by the pump, integrates the pressure over time according to the pressure change curve, and determines the pressure integral. When the determined pressure integral exceeds the predetermined integral limit value, the pump is turned off or the pump power is reduced to avoid dangerous pressure in the injection system. The driving pump type high pressure syringe and the flow rate adjustment method disclosed in patent CN117919548A control module can adjust the delivery pressure value to control the speed of the delivered liquid medicine, so that the speed of the injection module delivering liquid medicine is reduced or increased. Patent CN115300708A describes a full-automatic contrast injection instrument injection speed self-adaptive adjustment device and adjustment method, which realizes the matching of injection rate and injection pressure, ensures the completion of injection total amount, and controls and adjusts the injection rate when the injection pressure is abnormal, thereby ensuring the injection effect.
[0004] Currently, the above-mentioned prior art solutions mainly focus on the influence of injection pressure on the injection process or flow rate, ignoring an important requirement in clinical application. In actual clinical operation, different concentrations of contrast medium are often required, and the factory concentration of contrast medium is usually a standard value, which requires mixing with physiological saline to achieve different concentrations of development effect. However, most traditional solutions rely on on-off control of the injection amount of the syringe, which lacks flexibility and cannot meet the needs of clinical diversification of mixing ratio.

[0057] In an embodiment, the liquid injection device 10 further comprises a particle filter 170. The particle filter 170 is arranged to filter and separate the particles in the liquid. In an embodiment, the particle filter 170 is arranged on the liquid injection device 10.
[0058] In an embodiment, the liquid injection device 10 further comprises a temperature compensator. The temperature compensator is arranged at the front of the driving pump 120. The temperature compensator is electrically connected to the injection control device. The temperature compensator is controlled to heat the liquid in the driving pump 120. The temperature compensator is arranged to heat the liquid in the liquid injection device 10 at a low temperature environment. The temperature compensator is arranged to increase the viscosity of the liquid in the liquid injection device 10. The temperature compensator is arranged to reduce the possibility that the liquid injection device 10 injects the liquid to the patient at a too high pressure or a too low flow rate.
[0059] In an embodiment, the temperature compensator comprises a first heater. The injection host 110 is provided with a liquid arrangement slot 112. The first heater is arranged in the liquid arrangement slot 112. The liquid arrangement slot 112 is arranged to arrange the liquid in the liquid injection device 10. The first heater is arranged to heat the liquid in the liquid arrangement slot 112. In an embodiment, the liquid arrangement slot 112 is arranged at the front of the multi-way control valve 130.

[0060] Further, the temperature compensator comprises a second heater. The injection host 110 is provided with a medicine shelf. The second heater is arranged on the medicine shelf. The second heater is arranged to heat or keep the temperature of the medicine arranged on the medicine shelf.
[0061] Referring to Figures 3 to 6In an embodiment, the multi-channel control valve 130 comprises a guide 131 and a control valve unit 132. The guide 131 is internally formed with a guide hole 1312. The control valve unit 132 is located at one side of the guide 131. The control valve unit 132 comprises a driving member 133, a pushing member 134, and a linkage member 135. The pushing member 134 is arranged in the guide hole 1312 and is movable in the guide hole 1312. The linkage member 135 is rotatably installed on the guide 131. One of the driving member 133 and the pushing member 134 is in sliding connection with the linkage member 135 and is rotatable relative to the linkage member 135, and the other is in rotational connection with the linkage member 135. The distance between the pushing member 134 and the linkage member 135 at the connection position of the guide 131 is smaller than the distance between the driving member 133 and the linkage member 135 at the connection position of the guide 131. The driving member 133 is controlled to push the linkage member 135 to swing, so as to drive the pushing member 134 to move in the guide hole 1312. In the embodiment, the control valve unit 132 is arranged on the injection main machine 110. The guide 131 is arranged at the pipeline arrangement groove 112, so that the guide hole 1312 is in opposite communication with the pipeline arrangement groove 112. The pushing member 134 can extend out of the guide hole 1312 into the pipeline arrangement groove 112.
[0062] In use, the infusion pipeline is arranged in the pipeline arrangement groove 112. The driving member 133 drives the pushing member 134 to move in the guide hole 1312 through the linkage member 135. The pushing member 134 is used to extrude the infusion pipeline to control the liquid flow area, so as to flexibly adjust the liquid flow rate or concentration ratio, and meet the diversified fluid control requirements in the diagnosis and treatment process. Since the distance between the pushing member 134 and the linkage member 135 at the connection position of the guide 131 is smaller than the distance between the driving member 133 and the linkage member 135 at the connection position of the guide 131, when the driving member 133 drives the linkage member 135 to move a large stroke, the pushing member 134 only generates a small displacement. The precise control of the moving distance of the pushing member 134 is realized by reducing the driving range, so as to realize the precise extrusion of the infusion pipeline. The above multi-channel control valve 130 converts the "large stroke input" of the driving member 133 into the "small stroke output" of the pushing member 134 through the lever structure design of the linkage member 135. In combination with the linear guide function of the guide 131, the precise control of the extrusion degree of the infusion pipeline in a small range is realized, the control precision of the liquid flow rate or concentration ratio is effectively improved, and the safety and effectiveness of the diagnosis and treatment process are ensured. Meanwhile, the layout design of the linkage member 135 makes the installation position of the pushing member 134 correspond to different positions of the pipeline arrangement groove 112 flexibly, and the compatibility is strong.
[0063] In the embodiment, the linkage 135 is a rod-shaped structure, one end of the linkage 135 is a rotating part 1353, the other end is a first linkage part 1351, and the part between the two ends is formed as a second linkage part 1352. The rotating part 1353 is rotatably installed on the guide 131, one end of the pushing piece 134 is inserted into the guide hole 1312, and the other end is rotatably connected with the second linkage part 1352. The driving piece 133 is rotatably connected with the first linkage part 1351 and can slide on the first linkage part 1351.
[0064] In the embodiment, the driving piece 133 can be a linear motor. In other embodiments, the driving piece 133 can also be an electromagnet, a hydraulic rod, or other mechanisms capable of driving the linkage 135 to swing.
[0065] In an embodiment, the number of control valve units 132 is at least two, the guide 131 is provided with guide holes 1312 consistent with the number of control valve units 132, and the pushing piece 134 of each control valve unit 132 is inserted into a guide hole 1312. By providing at least two control valve units 132, the synchronous control of at least two infusion pipelines can be realized, so as to realize the mixing of the liquid medicine in the at least two infusion pipelines according to the set proportion, and realize the proportioning of liquid medicines with different concentrations.
[0066] In the embodiment, the number of control valve units 132 is three, the guide 131 is provided with three guide holes 1312 arranged at intervals, and the pushing piece 134 of each control valve unit 132 is inserted into a guide hole 1312. The synchronous control of the liquid medicines in three infusion pipelines can be realized. Specifically, two control valve units 132 are arranged side by side, and the linkage 135 of the other control valve unit 132 is located between the linkages 135 of the two control valve units 132, so that the pushing pieces 134 of the three control valve units 132 are arranged close to each other. By arranging the three linkages 135, the driving piece 133 and the pushing piece 134 are arranged in a triangular shape, so that the structure of the multi-way control valve 130 is more compact, and the space occupied by the injection host 110 is reduced.
[0067] In the embodiment, the driving pump 120 is a peristaltic pump.
[0068] In the present application, the terms "first", "second" appear, which are only used for description purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

For example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or it can be integrated; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise specifically limited. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0070] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the injection control method provided by the present application can be applied to the liquid injection device 10 as shown in Figure 1 and 2 Specifically, an injection control method is provided, comprising the following steps:
[0071] Step S110, obtaining the target concentration of the mixed drug solution, and obtaining the target proportion of each raw drug solution according to the target concentration.
[0072] Specifically, the target flow rate V set and the preset maximum pressure P max of the mixed drug solution are set. The target flow rate and the preset maximum pressure can be determined according to the patient's condition, or can be determined according to the drug solution used. The initial temperature T0 of the raw drug solution and the target concentration C of the mixed drug solution are obtained. According to the initial temperature T0 and the target concentration C, the initial viscosity of the mixed drug solution is obtained as μ0, and the initial opening A0 of the multi-channel control valve 130 and the initial speed S0 of the drive pump 120 are solved according to the target flow rate V set and μ0, while ensuring that the initial pressure P0 < P max In the present embodiment, the initial opening of the multi-channel control valve 130 can be the opening of each channel combined. The opening proportion of each channel is allocated according to the target proportion of each raw drug solution, so that the sum of the initial openings of each channel is consistent with the initial opening A0 of the multi-channel control valve 130.
[0073] Step S120, control the multi-channel control valve 130 to open, and obtain the current flow rate of each channel raw drug solution. Specifically, the first flow rate sensor 140 is arranged between the raw drug solution installation position and the multi-channel control valve 130 to detect the outflow flow rate of each raw drug solution.
[0074] Step S130, judging whether the current flow rate ratio of each channel raw drug solution matches the target proportion;
[0075] Step S140: If not, control the multi-channel control valve 130 to adjust the opening of the corresponding channel until the current flow rate ratio is consistent with the target ratio.
[0076] Specifically, the multi-channel control valve 130 is controlled to increase the opening of the channel with a higher proportion of the original drug solution and / or decrease the opening of the channel with a lower proportion of the original drug solution until the current flow rate ratio matches the target ratio. In this embodiment, as... Figure 8 As shown, taking the mixing of two original drug solutions as an example, when the flow rate ratio detected by channels A and B is greater than the target proportion, the opening of channel B is increased to increase the flow rate in channel B, while the opening of channel A remains unchanged. When the opening of channel B has increased to the maximum adjustment value, the opening of channel A is decreased. Similarly, when the flow rate ratio detected by channels A and B is less than the target proportion, the opening of channel A is increased. In this embodiment, during adjustment, only the opening of one channel is increased to facilitate the evaluation of the adjusted flow rate ratio and to ensure the flow rate of the mixed drug solution pumped by drive pump 120. In other embodiments, when the flow rate ratio detected by channels A and B is greater than the target proportion, the opening of channel B can be increased while the opening of channel A is decreased simultaneously.
[0077] See also Figure 9 In one embodiment, the injection control method further includes:
[0078] Step S210: Obtain the initial temperature T0 and the current ambient temperature Ta of the original drug solution; and evaluate the current viscosity μ of the mixed drug solution based on the current infusion duration t, the current ambient temperature Ta, and the initial temperature T0.
[0079] Specifically, based on the current infusion duration t, the current ambient temperature Ta, and the initial temperature T0, the current mixed drug solution temperature T(t) is calculated as: T(t) = T a +(T0-T a )e -kt Where T(t) is the current temperature of the mixed medicine solution (°C), which decreases with time t and approaches the ambient temperature Ta; k is the heat loss coefficient, which is determined by the insulation performance of the medicine solution delivery pipeline, the intensity of environmental convection, etc. (unit: s-1).
[0080] In other embodiments, the current temperature of the mixed solution can also be obtained in real time using a temperature sensor. For example, the temperature of the mixed solution pumped by the drive pump 120 and downstream of the multi-channel control valve 130 can be obtained.
[0081] Specifically, based on the current temperature T(t) and target concentration C of the mixed solution, the current viscosity μ of the mixed solution is evaluated. The viscosity is positively correlated with concentration and negatively exponentially correlated with temperature. Further, the current viscosity μ is: Wherein: μ0 is the reference viscosity (Pa s) of the low-concentration drug solution at the reference temperature T0; a is the temperature sensitivity coefficient (related to the type of drug solution, a > 0 indicates that the viscosity increases with the decrease of temperature); b is the concentration sensitivity coefficient (b > 0 indicates that the viscosity increases with the increase of concentration). In this embodiment, the reference temperature T0 is the initial concentration of the original drug solution, usually 37°C.
[0082] In another embodiment, the current viscosity μ of the mixed drug solution can also be obtained by experiment. According to the corresponding relationship table of the viscosity μ of the drug solution and the current temperature T and concentration C of the drug solution obtained by experiment, the current viscosity μ is obtained by looking up.
[0083] In step S220, the current output flow rate of the mixed drug solution is obtained, and it is judged whether the deviation between the current output flow rate and the target flow rate is greater than or equal to a preset threshold. Specifically, the second flow rate sensor detects the current output flow rate V real of the mixed drug solution in real time, and calculates the deviation ΔV = V set -V real In this embodiment, the drug injection system is used for contrast agent injection, and in order to ensure the contrast effect, it is necessary to ensure that the injection flow rate is constant. If the injection flow rate is too fast, it will cause the patient to be uncomfortable, and if the injection flow rate is slow, it will affect the contrast effect.
[0084] In step S230, if yes, the target opening degree of the multi-channel control valve 130 is obtained according to the target flow rate and the current viscosity of the mixed drug solution.
[0085] Specifically, when the deviation |ΔV| > δ1, the opening degree of the multi-channel control valve 130 is adjusted first. By increasing the opening degree of the multi-channel control valve 130 to expand the pipe flow passage area and reduce the flow resistance, the flow rate is improved, the energy consumption of the driving pump 120 is reduced, and the purpose of rough adjustment of the flow rate is achieved. The multi-channel control valve 130 rapidly expands the flow passage under low load, and the driving pump 120 does not intervene temporarily, which can reduce the adjustment complexity.
[0086] Further, the target opening degree of the multi-channel control valve 130 can be calculated according to the formula: ; wherein, k V is the system structure constant (related to the pipe diameter, pipe length and driving pump 120 characteristics), V set is the target flow rate V and S is the initial speed S0 of the driving pump 120.
[0087] Step S240, adjust the current opening degree of each passage of the multi-pass control valve 130 to the target opening degree. It should be noted that the maximum opening degree of each passage cannot exceed the maximum adjustment value. In this embodiment, the maximum adjustment value is less than the maximum opening degree, for example, the maximum adjustment value can be 90% of the maximum opening degree, to avoid pressure loss or turbulence caused by full opening of the multi-pass control valve 130, while not opening the passage to the maximum, leaving adjustment space for subsequent adjustment. It should be noted that the multi-pass control valve 130 controls the opening degree of multiple passages, and the increase in the opening degree requires an increase in the opening degree of each passage, the sum of the opening degrees of each passage is A, and the flow rate ratio of each passage is kept unchanged.
[0088] In another embodiment, the opening degree of the multi-pass control valve 130 is increased by a preset step size ΔA, so that the opening degree of the multi-pass control valve 130 is increased from A0 to A. In other embodiments, PID control can also be used to adjust the opening degree of the multi-pass control valve 130.
[0089] In an embodiment, step S220, it is judged whether the deviation between the current output flow rate and the target flow rate is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value, and then further comprising:
[0090] Step S250, if it is judged that the deviation between the current output flow rate and the target flow rate is less than the preset threshold value, or the opening degree of any one passage of the multi-pass control valve 130 reaches the maximum adjustment value, then according to the target flow rate V set , the current viscosity μ of the mixed drug solution, and the current opening degree A of the multi-pass control valve 130, the target speed S of the driving pump 120 is obtained. When one of the passages of the multi-pass control valve 130 reaches the maximum adjustment value, the pump intervenes, and the linear characteristic of the driving pump 120 is used to accurately compensate and adjust the output flow rate of the drug solution. The multi-pass control valve 130 is used as an auxiliary fine adjustment, and the opening degree is reduced if necessary. Alternatively, if the deviation between the current output flow rate and the target flow rate is less than the preset threshold value, the driving pump 120 is adjusted to achieve the purpose of supplementary adjustment and fine adjustment.
[0091] Specifically, according to the current viscosity μ, the current opening degree A of the multi-pass control valve 130, and the target flow rate V set , the target speed S of the driving pump 120 is calculated.
[0092] Step S260, adjust the current speed of the driving pump 120 to the target speed.
[0093] Specifically, step S261, according to V set , the current viscosity μ of the mixed drug solution, the adjusted pipeline pressure is calculated.
[0094] Further, the pipeline pressure model is: P=P0+k p μ·S; wherein, P0 is the initial pressure of the pipeline before the speed adjustment of the driving pump 120, i.e. the initial pressure of the pipeline when the speed of the driving pump 120 is S0, k p is the pressure coefficient.
[0095] Step S262, if the calculated pipeline pressure P is less than the preset maximum pressure P max , the current speed S0 of the driving pump 120 is adjusted to the target speed S.
[0096] Further, the pressure PID controller is used to dynamically adjust the speed, and real-time feedback and PID compensation are performed, wherein the required speed S of the driving pump 120 is: In the embodiment, S base is S0; e p = P max -P real is the pressure deviation, i.e. the difference between the current pressure P real and the preset maximum pressure P max ; K p is the proportional adjustment parameter, which quickly responds to the pressure deviation and adjusts the pump speed; K i is the integral adjustment parameter, which eliminates long-term static errors, such as flow attenuation caused by hose deformation; and K d is the differential adjustment parameter, which suppresses instantaneous fluctuations caused by temperature mutations or concentration fluctuations.
[0097] In the embodiment, through real-time feedback of the pressure, it is ensured that P real does not exceed P max during the speed adjustment of the driving pump 120, so as to avoid pipeline rupture or patient injury. The PID algorithm is used to suppress pressure fluctuations and achieve stable control.
[0098] Step S263, if the calculated pipeline pressure is greater than or equal to the preset maximum pressure, the current speed of the driving pump 120 is not adjusted to the target speed. Even if the current mixed liquid flow rate is not up to standard, the speed of the driving pump 120 is not increased, or the speed of the driving pump 120 can be reduced and an alarm is given.
[0099] In an embodiment, the injection control method further comprises:
[0100] obtaining the current pressure value P real of the pipeline. The current pressure value P real of the pipeline can be detected during the entire adjustment and control process, so as to ensure the safety of the liquid delivery.
[0101] If the current pressure value P real is greater than or equal to the preset maximum pressure P maxWhen the pressure exceeds the preset maximum pressure P real , the control algorithm triggers the driving pump 120 to reduce the speed and / or the multi-way control valve 130 to reduce the current opening degree. For safety consideration, when the pressure exceeds the preset maximum pressure P max , the control algorithm triggers the driving pump 120 to reduce the speed and / or the multi-way control valve 130 to reduce the current opening degree to switch the drug solution delivery to the low flow rate mode.
[0102] In an embodiment, the current viscosity of the mixed drug solution is determined. The viscosity evaluation is used to determine whether the pressure exceeds the preset maximum pressure P
[0103] Specifically, when the current viscosity of the mixed drug solution is greater than the preset viscosity, the temperature compensator is controlled to heat the drug solution until the current temperature of the drug solution reaches the preset temperature. By heating the drug solution, the temperature of the drug solution is increased to reduce the viscosity of the drug solution. In other embodiments, the driving pump 120 can be controlled to reduce the speed and / or the multi-way control valve 130 can be controlled to reduce the current opening degree to ensure that the pipeline pressure P real does not exceed the preset maximum pressure P max .
[0104] In an embodiment, when the output temperature of the mixed drug solution is less than the preset temperature, for example, less than 30°C, the temperature compensator is enabled to heat the drug solution to maintain the output temperature of the mixed drug solution at 37±2°C.
[0105] In an embodiment, the pressure of the pipeline is monitored in real time, and when a sudden change in the pressure of the pipeline is detected, the pipeline is determined to be leaking, and the injection is immediately stopped and an alarm is sounded.
[0106] In an embodiment, the adjustment process of each injection can be recorded for predicting the optimal parameter combination in a similar scenario.
[0107] The injection control method described above is configured with a flow rate sensor for each channel to collect the current flow rate of the original drug solution of each channel in real time and dynamically compare the target proportion, and the real-time calibration capability can significantly reduce the concentration deviation of the mixed drug solution, meet the high-precision requirement of the drug solution concentration in clinical practice, avoid the concentration error caused by the traditional fixed proportion mixing, and be suitable for various concentration drug solution mixing scenarios. Even if the pipeline resistance changes, the pump speed fluctuates, and other disturbances are encountered, the target proportion can be maintained through feedback adjustment to ensure the stability of the concentration of the mixed drug solution. The coordinated work of the driving pump 120 and the multi-way control valve 130 controlled by the injection control device improves the whole process automation, improves the operation efficiency, improves the mixing precision of the drug solution during the peristaltic pump double-flow injection, and improves the contrast imaging effect.
[0108] The injection control method realizes hierarchical control. First, the flow rate is coarsely adjusted by the opening of the multi-path control valve 130, which has a small influence on the pipeline pressure and mainly influences the pipeline resistance. Then, the speed of the drive pump 120 is dynamically adjusted and corrected in combination with the pressure feedback to finely adjust the output flow rate of the liquid medicine, avoid overpressure, and ultimately ensure the stability of the output flow rate of the liquid medicine under the condition of changes in the viscosity of the liquid medicine. At the same time, the fast coarse adjustment of the multi-path control valve 130 can reduce the high-load operation time of the drive pump 120. The linear adjustment of the drive pump 120 compensates for the nonlinear error of the multi-path control valve 130 and, in combination with viscosity compensation, adapts to different liquid medicine characteristics and different viscosities of the liquid medicine.

Unless otherwise explicitly stated herein, the execution of these steps is not strictly limited in sequence, and these steps can be executed in other orders.

[0111] A concentration determination module is configured to obtain a target concentration of the mixed liquid medicine and obtain a target proportion of each original liquid medicine according to the target concentration.
