Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular to an intelligent temperature-controlled high-frequency electric knife for general surgery. Background Art

[0002] A high-frequency electrosurgery device is a medical device that uses high-frequency current to achieve tissue cutting and coagulation. Its basic operating principle is to utilize the thermal effect of high-frequency current. When high-frequency current passes through human tissue, it generates heat within the tissue, which in turn evaporates water and denatures proteins in the tissue cells, thereby achieving tissue cutting, coagulation, tissue separation, and hemostasis. A high-frequency electrosurgery device primarily consists of a main unit and accessories. The main unit includes a high-voltage power supply, a low-voltage power supply, an oscillator unit, a power output unit, and a selection unit for cutting and coagulation. The accessories primarily include the electrosurgery handle, patient electrode, bipolar forceps, and a foot switch. The electrosurgery handle is the tool used by doctors during surgical procedures. Its tip generates high-frequency, high-voltage current. Upon contact with the body, it heats the affected tissue, achieving tissue cutting or coagulation.

[0003] During the surgical operation of an existing high-frequency electrosurgical unit, doctors usually need to manually adjust buttons or foot switches to control the operating mode and output power of the electrosurgical unit. In some complex surgeries or when frequent switching of operating modes is required, manual adjustment will distract the doctor's attention and affect the smoothness and efficiency of the operation. Therefore, an intelligent temperature-controlled high-frequency electrosurgical unit for general surgery is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Preferably, the temperature control module includes:

[0017] A temperature monitoring unit, which is mainly composed of a temperature sensor for monitoring the temperature of the electric knife handle, monitors and records the temperature changes of the electric knife handle during operation, and converts the temperature change data into a curve graph;

[0018] The threshold feedback unit is used to monitor the peak value of the data in the curve graph generated by the temperature monitoring unit and is set with a peak threshold. When the peak value in the curve graph continues to exceed the threshold, a cooling signal is sent to the output module to reduce the flow output of electricity.

[0019] Preferably, the information guidance module includes:

[0020] The data processing unit is used to process and analyze the received high-frequency electrosurgical device status information in real time, extract key data such as power output and temperature change trends, and provide a data basis for subsequent visual display and operation guidance;

[0022] The operation guidance generation unit is based on a data disk that stores surgical cutting specifications and high-frequency electrosurgical knife operation procedures.

The medical staff performs the cutting operation according to the visual operation guidance. When the temperature of the electrosurgical unit handle is too high, the temperature control module sends a cooling signal to the output module to reduce the output power.

[0033] Step 5. After the operation, turn off the power of the high-frequency electrosurgical unit, disconnect the modules, and summarize and record the operation process to facilitate subsequent analysis and improvement.

[0034] Preferably, the voice input unit in step three performs voice correction through an AI model, automatically identifying and filtering out noise, tailing, and unclear parts in the voice.
