[0037] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein the accompanying drawings constitute a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a motion stopping distance testing device 20 for a medical device 10. The motion stopping distance testing device 20 includes:

[0039] The displacement sensing device 21 is used to measure the distance between it and the medical device 10, and to generate a trigger signal when sensing that the moving part 11 of the medical device moves from a first position to a second position, and to measure the distance between the second position and the third position after the movement of the moving part 11 stops at the third position.

[0040] The conversion device 22 is used to convert the trigger signal into a command signal and send it to the emergency stop device 12 of the medical device 10, so that the moving part 11 of the medical device 10 stops moving.

[0041] The error measuring device 23 is used to measure the time delay between the generation of the trigger signal and the sending of the command signal, so as to determine the system error of the motion stopping distance testing device 20.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the first position, the second position, and the third position are located on the same straight line; the moving component 11 performs linear motion along the straight line.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] The motion stopping distance test device of this embodiment is mainly composed of a standard steel ruler, a U-shaped photoelectric sensor, an optical coupling isolation relay, a Type-C interface power module, a switch and an external cable. The structure is as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0045] Connect the external cable to the port on the emergency stop device of the medical device's moving part and secure a standard steel ruler to the moving part. During linear motion, the standard steel ruler moves forward into the slot of the U-shaped photoelectric sensor. The U-shaped photoelectric sensor senses the ruler's contact with the optical axis and generates a voltage signal as a trigger. This trigger signal is transmitted to the optocoupler isolation relay, which immediately disconnects the circuit of the emergency stop device through the external cable, causing the moving part to stop. The length of the ruler extending into the U-shaped slot is the distance measured for the moving part's emergency stop.

[0046] The device 1 can be powered by a power bank or charger with a Type-C interface connected to a power module. The switch is connected to an external cable to ensure the safety of the circuit of the emergency stop device.

[0047] The method 1 uses a level, a tripod, and a testing device 1.

[0048] First, fix the standard steel ruler on the moving part of the medical device, with the scale perpendicular to the linear motion direction of the moving part of the medical device. At the same time, connect the optical coupler isolation relay of the test device 1 to the emergency stop switch of the moving part of the medical device and fix it on the tripod. Use the level to calibrate the position of the standard steel ruler and the U-type photoelectric sensor of the test device 1, so that they are on the same horizontal line. The layout diagram is as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0049] The medical device's moving part moves forward, and the moment the standard steel ruler contacts the U-shaped photoelectric sensor, the emergency stop switch is disconnected. The length of the standard steel ruler's contact with the U-shaped photoelectric sensor is equal to the emergency stop distance of the medical device's moving part's linear motion.

[0050] The device 1 can measure the time delay of the voltage signal of the U-shaped photoelectric sensor and the optocoupler isolation relay through an oscilloscope, calculate the system error of the device, and ensure that the measurement result is more accurate.

[0051] The device 2 is mainly composed of a laser displacement sensor, a laser displacement sensor amplifier, an optocoupler isolation relay, a Type-C interface power module, a switch and an external cable. The structure is as follows Figure 3 shown.

[0052] Connect the external cable to the interface of the emergency stop device of the moving part of the medical device, and directly point the laser displacement sensor at the moving part of the medical device. When the moving part moves in a straight line, the laser displacement sensor measures the distance and displacement of the moving part, and the laser displacement sensor amplifier displays the value. The laser displacement sensor amplifier can set the displacement trigger signal to generate a voltage signal. The triggered signal is transmitted to the optocoupler isolation relay, and the optocoupler isolation relay immediately disconnects the circuit of the emergency stop device through the external cable. The moving part of the medical device stops, and the laser displacement sensor can measure the emergency stop distance of the moving part.

[0053] The device 2 can be powered by a power bank or charger with a Type-C interface connected to the power module. The switch is connected to an external cable to ensure the safety of the circuit of the emergency stop device.

[0054] This method 2 uses a level, a tripod, and a testing device 2.

[0055] First, connect the optocoupler isolation relay of test device 2 to the emergency stop switch of the moving part of the medical device, and fix the laser displacement sensor of test device 2 on the tripod, and then place it in the linear motion direction of the moving part of the medical device. Use the level to calibrate the position of the moving part of the medical device and the laser displacement sensor, and keep them on the same horizontal line. Figure 3 shown.

[0056] The laser displacement sensor amplifier sets the displacement of the medical device's moving part. When the moving part moves forward to the set displacement, the emergency stop switch is disconnected. The laser displacement sensor can measure the distance the moving part stops in an emergency.

[0057] The device 2 can measure the time delay of the voltage signal of the laser displacement sensor amplifier and the optical coupling isolation relay through an oscilloscope, calculate the system error of the device, and ensure that the measurement result is more accurate.
