Description

[0002] As one of the core components of the endoscope system, the endoscope cold light source plays an indispensable role in the smooth progress of surgery. It is mainly composed of multiple high-brightness, low-energy LED lamps. Its core function is to provide sufficient and uniform illumination for the endoscope, ensuring that the doctor can clearly observe the details of the patient's internal tissues and organs, thereby making accurate diagnoses and performing precise surgical operations. In addition, to meet the needs of the endoscope system in different surgical scenarios, the cold light source is usually equipped with an air pump.

[0021] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] The gas switching method of the endoscope cold light source provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1The endoscope cold light source gas supply system shown in the figure includes a control module 1, an air pump 2, a gas detection module 3, a first one-way valve 4, a second one-way valve 5, a three-way pipe 6, an external gas input interface 7, and a gas output interface 8; the gas detection module 3 includes an air flow sensor 3a and an air pressure sensor 3b; the external gas input interface 7 is connected to the gas detection module 3, the gas detection module 3 is connected to the input end of the second one-way valve 5, the output end of the second one-way valve 5 is connected to the first input end of the three-way pipe 6, the output end of the three-way pipe 6 is connected to the gas output interface 8, the air pump 2 is connected to the input end of the first one-way valve 4, and the output end of the first one-way valve 4 is connected to the second input end of the three-way pipe 6; the control module 1 is used to control the air pump 2 and the gas detection module 3.

[0023] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a gas switching method for an endoscope cold light source is provided. The method is executed by a computer device, specifically, it can be executed by a computer device such as a terminal or a server alone, or it can be executed by a terminal and a server together. In the embodiment of the present application, the following steps 201 to 203 are included. Among them: Step 201 : Detecting the gas input state at the external gas input interface 7 through the gas detection module 3 .

[0024] In the embodiment of the present application, the control system is responsible for the logic processing part of the cold light source of the endoscope, and monitors whether there is external gas input, and controls the switch of the air pump 2; the air pump 2 outputs a continuous air flow by means of compressed air; the gas detection module 3, when the air path is flowing, detects whether there is external gas input through the air flow sensor; when the air path is blocked, detects whether there is external gas input through the air pressure sensor 3b; the first one-way valve 4 is installed on the air branch to prevent external gas from flowing back; the second one-way valve 5 is installed on the external gas branch to prevent air from flowing back; the three-way pipe fitting 6 merges the air branch and the external gas branch, and outputs through the same output port; the external gas input interface 7 is used to connect an external gas source; the gas output interface 8 outputs gas, connects the endoscope, and inputs air or external gas into the endoscope.

[0025] In the embodiment of the present application, the gas input state at the external gas input interface 7 may indicate whether external gas is input, that is, external gas is input at the external gas input interface 7 or external gas is not input at the external gas input interface 7 .

[0026] As an optional implementation manner, the method of detecting the gas input state at the external gas input interface 7 by the gas detection module 3 in step 201 may include: Detecting the current gas flow in the gas detection module 3 by the gas flow sensor; If the current gas flow rate is greater than the preset flow rate threshold, the presence of external gas input through the external gas input interface 7 is determined as the gas input state at the external gas input interface 7 .

[0027] If the current gas flow rate is less than or equal to the preset flow rate threshold, the current gas pressure in the gas detection module 3 is detected by the gas pressure sensor 3b; If the current air pressure is greater than the preset air pressure threshold, the presence of external gas input at the external gas input interface 7 is determined as the gas input state at the external gas input interface 7; If the current air pressure is less than or equal to the preset air pressure threshold, the absence of external gas input to the external gas input interface 7 is determined as the gas input state at the external gas input interface 7 .

[0028] In this embodiment, a gas flow sensor and a pressure sensor 3b are used to jointly detect the gas input status at the external gas input interface 7. The gas flow sensor is first used to quickly and preliminarily determine the gas input status. If the flow rate does not meet the conditions, the pressure sensor 3b is used for further precise identification. This step-by-step and comprehensive detection strategy effectively overcomes the limitations of single sensor detection and can more accurately and reliably determine the external gas input status, providing an accurate basis for the subsequent intelligent control of the air pump 2. This avoids endoscope malfunctions caused by misjudgment of the gas supply status and improves the stability and safety of the endoscope system.

[0029] Please also refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 The throttling device is a schematic diagram of the throttling device. The throttling device is set in the air flow sensor. The external gas input from the external gas input interface 7 flows through the throttling device. The throttling device is provided with an orifice plate D, which is provided with a small hole with an inner diameter of d. Figure 3 The direction of the arrow shown is the flow direction of the external gas, wherein P1 represents the input gas pressure detected at the input end of the throttling device, and P2 represents the output gas pressure detected at the output end of the throttling device.

[0030] Optionally, the method of detecting the current gas flow in the gas detection module 3 by the gas flow sensor may include: Detecting the input air pressure at the input end of the throttling device and the output air pressure at the output end of the throttling device by the air flow sensor; Obtaining the inner diameter of the orifice plate provided in the throttling device; The current gas flow in the gas detection module 3 is calculated based on the input gas pressure, the output gas pressure, the inner diameter, the gas density of the external gas, and the preset flow coefficient and expansion coefficient.

[0031] In this implementation, a throttling device is installed in the gas flow sensor, and the current gas flow rate is calculated by detecting the air pressure at its input and output ends, combining the inner diameter of the orifice plate, the gas density, and a preset coefficient. This design cleverly utilizes the throttling principle, eliminating the need for complex and expensive direct flow measurement equipment, achieving high-precision gas flow detection at a low cost. It can accurately sense the external gas input and provide reliable data for the endoscope cold light source system to accurately judge the gas input status, thereby ensuring that the system reasonably adjusts its operation according to the gas supply, improving the stability and safety of endoscope use.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present application, the calculation formula of the current gas flow in the gas detection module 3 is: ; Wherein, Q represents the current gas flow rate, C represents the flow coefficient, which is usually obtained through experiments. represents the expansion coefficient, dimensionless, d represents the inner diameter, ρ represents the gas density of the external gas, Indicates the difference between the input air pressure and the output air pressure.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present application, based on the Bernoulli principle, when the gas filling the pipeline passes through the throttling device in the pipeline, the flow rate will form a local contraction at the throttling device, which will convert part of the pressure energy into kinetic energy. As a result, the flow rate increases, the static pressure decreases, and a pressure difference is generated before and after the throttling device. The greater the flow rate, the greater the pressure difference, and vice versa. By measuring the size of the pressure difference, the gas flow rate can be indirectly calculated. The pressure difference between P1 and P2 can be measured by the pressure differential sensor .

[0034] Step 202 : If the gas input status indicates that external gas is inputted into the external gas input interface 7 , the use status of the gas pump 2 is obtained.

[0035] Step 203 : If the use state of the air pump 2 is the on state, the air pump 2 is turned off by the control module 1 , so that the use state of the air pump 2 is converted to the off state.

[0036] As an optional implementation, after step 201, the following steps may be further performed: If the gas input status indicates that there is no external gas input to the external gas input interface 7, the use status of the gas pump 2 is obtained; If the use state of the air pump 2 is the off state, the air pump 2 is turned on by the control module 1 so that the use state of the air pump 2 is converted to the on state.

[0037] In this embodiment, after detecting that there is no external gas input to the external gas input interface 7, the use status of the air pump 2 is further obtained and the air pump 2 is automatically turned on when it is turned off. This design realizes the intelligent response of the endoscope cold light source gas supply system to the gas supply situation. When the external gas supply is cut off, it can promptly switch to the gas supply of the air pump 2, ensuring that the endoscope always has a stable gas source, avoiding problems such as affecting the clarity of the surgical field of view or causing pressure imbalance in the body cavity due to gas supply interruption, effectively improving the reliability and safety of the endoscope and ensuring the smooth progress of medical operations such as surgery.

[0038] The embodiments of the present application have the following advantages.

[0039] Easy operation: By setting an external gas access interface and a gas identification device on the cold light source of the endoscope, users can more conveniently connect and switch external gases without complicated operation steps, thus improving the efficiency and convenience of surgery; High safety: The automatic switching control mechanism can effectively avoid the simultaneous supply of air and external gas, preventing potential risks and complications caused by gas mixing, and ensuring patient safety; High reliability: The gas identification device can accurately identify different types of gases, ensuring that there will be no misoperation or gas supply errors during the switching process, thus improving the reliability and stability of the system; Good flexibility: This method is suitable for various types of endoscopic surgical scenarios. It can flexibly switch different gases according to surgical needs, meet the special requirements of different surgeries, and has wide applicability.

[0040] The implementation of steps 201 to 203 above effectively avoids the potential hazards that may be caused by the simultaneous supply of two gases to some surgical scenarios where the use of air is not recommended (such as ESD), and significantly improves the safety of endoscope use. In addition, the present application can also improve the stability and safety of the operation of the endoscope system. In addition, the present application can also ensure that the system reasonably adjusts its operation according to the gas supply, thereby improving the stability and safety of endoscope use. In addition, the present application can also avoid problems such as the interruption of gas supply affecting the clarity of the surgical field of view or causing pressure imbalance in the body cavity, effectively improving the reliability and safety of endoscope use, and ensuring the smooth progress of medical operations such as surgery.

[0044] Among them, this implementation method, after detecting that there is no external gas input to the external gas input interface, further obtains the use status of the air pump and automatically turns on the air pump when it is turned off. This design realizes the intelligent response of the endoscope cold light source gas supply system to the gas supply situation. When the external gas supply is cut off, it can switch to the air pump supply in time to ensure that the endoscope always has a stable gas source, avoiding problems such as affecting the clarity of the surgical field of view or causing pressure imbalance in the body cavity due to gas supply interruption, effectively improving the reliability and safety of endoscope use, and ensuring the smooth progress of medical operations such as surgery.

The gas flow sensor is first used to quickly make a preliminary judgment. If the flow rate does not meet the conditions, the pressure sensor is used for further precise identification. This step-by-step and comprehensive detection strategy effectively overcomes the limitations of single sensor detection and can more accurately and reliably determine the external gas input status, providing an accurate basis for the subsequent intelligent control of the air pump, thereby avoiding endoscope failures caused by misjudgment of the gas supply status and improving the stability and safety of the endoscope system.
