Description

[0002] In the current safety management practice of medical power supply, it mainly relies on periodic manual detection methods, such as detection of insulation resistance, or passive leakage protection measures. However, these methods have obvious limitations, they often have a lag, and cannot perceive the aging trend of the isolation barrier in real time. In addition, these traditional methods lack the ability to predict potential failure risks, so it is difficult to issue timely warning signals in the early stage of insulation performance degradation. Further, due to the lack of precise life prediction means, it is currently difficult to implement active safety control measures based on prediction results, which to some extent limits the safety and reliability of the medical power supply system. SUMMARY

[0003] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application provide a medical power supply active safety control method based on digital twinning, a device and a storage medium, aiming to solve the core technical problem that the health status of the medical power supply isolation barrier lacks real-time and accurate predictive management, and cannot change passive protection to active prevention.

[0061] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating an embodiment of active safety control for medical power supplies based on digital twins. The active safety control method for medical power supplies based on digital twins is implemented by an active safety control device for medical power supplies based on digital twins. This device can be a medical power supply unit, which has built-in hardware and software. Specifically, it can be implemented by a microcontroller unit (MCU) and its peripheral circuits, or it can be implemented collaboratively with a cloud platform. Specifically, an example of a medical power supply unit will be used for illustrative purposes.

[0062] Depend on Figure 1 As can be seen, the active safety control method for medical power supply based on digital twin provided in this application includes the following steps S110 to S150. Details are as follows:

[0063] The S110 acquires environmental and electrical stress parameters of the power system in real time and records historical stress times.

[0064] In this embodiment, environmental parameters include ambient temperature and relative humidity; electrical stress parameters include real-time monitored input voltage, output voltage, and operating frequency; and historical stress time includes the cumulative operating time of the power supply system.

[0065] Specifically, environmental parameters are acquired using a temperature and humidity sensor installed inside the medical power supply, near the isolation transformer and optocoupler. The sensor is connected to a processor (e.g., a microcontroller unit, MCU) via a communication bus. The processor reads the sensor's measurements at a fixed frequency (e.g., once per minute) to obtain real-time information on ambient temperature and relative humidity.

[0066] The input and output voltages of the medical power supply are sampled and conditioned using a resistor divider network and an operational amplifier circuit. Subsequently, the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) of the processor (such as an MCU) performs data conversion and readout; the operating frequency is directly obtained from the inherent clock frequency parameter within the processor (such as the MCU). For example, all electrical parameters are sampled and monitored in real time at a preset high frequency (e.g., ten times per second).

[0067] Historical stress time is recorded in seconds by a timer inside the processor (such as an MCU). This timer continuously tracks the cumulative runtime of the power system and periodically stores the cumulative time in the processor's internal non-volatile memory (Flash).

[0068] S120: Inject a diagnostic signal into the isolation barrier and simultaneously monitor the response of the diagnostic signal to calculate the current equivalent insulation resistance value of the isolation barrier.

[0069] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram illustrating the specific implementation process of the S120. (By...) Figure 2 It can be seen that in this embodiment, S120 includes:

[0070] S121: A specific high-frequency, low-amplitude diagnostic signal is periodically injected by the power controller onto the primary side of the isolation barrier.

[0071] In this embodiment, the equivalent insulation impedance value is measured by applying a measurable probe excitation, such as a high-frequency, low-amplitude diagnostic signal, so as not to affect the normal operation of the medical power supply.

[0072] Specifically, to ensure that the diagnostic process does not affect the main power conversion performance of the medical power supply, the injection action is selected by the controller to be performed within a specific time window. For example, it is selected to be performed during the turn-off cycle of the power switching transistor (MOSFET) when the load current is relatively light, in order to minimize interference. Moreover, the injection is performed periodically, for example, a complete diagnostic process is executed every 10 minutes, to continuously track aging trends without excessively consuming controller resources.

[0073] The controller triggers a sine wave output from the DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) via an internal timer, or generates the required diagnostic signal via a pin in conjunction with an external low-pass filter. The specific high frequency refers to the selected frequency of the signal, typically much higher than the switching frequency of the medical power supply (e.g., 100kHz to 500kHz). High-frequency signals are more sensitive to minute defects in the insulation material, helping to detect potential problems early. Low amplitude means the signal amplitude is strictly limited to a very low level (e.g., 50mV peak). The core principle is that the signal energy must be small enough that even if the isolation barrier is severely aged, its injection will not pose a safety risk (such as excessive leakage current); at the same time, it must be large enough to be clearly and reliably detected on the secondary side.

[0074] The generated diagnostic signal is injected into the primary side of the isolation barrier through a coupling network consisting of a DC blocking capacitor and a current-limiting resistor connected in series. Exemplarily, the injection point is the primary winding of an isolation switching transformer. This coupling network ensures that only AC diagnostic signals can pass through, while isolating the signal generation circuit from the influence of DC high voltage. This step allows for precise measurement of the isolation barrier's response to the diagnostic signal and its conversion into an impedance value.

[0075] S122: Detect the response of the diagnostic signal on the secondary side of the isolation barrier, and calculate the current equivalent insulation impedance value of the isolation barrier by analyzing the attenuation amplitude and phase change of the response.

[0076] Specifically, on the secondary side of the isolation barrier (such as the secondary winding of an isolation transformer), a dedicated high-precision, high common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) differential amplifier circuit (such as Analog Devices' AD629) is used to capture the response signal. This circuit can suppress large common-mode voltages between the primary and secondary sides while accurately amplifying weak differential diagnostic signals. The amplified signal is then sent to the processor's high-speed analog-to-digital converter pin.

[0077] The processor uses the digital reference signal it generates for the original diagnostic signal to multiply and filter the acquired response signal, thereby accurately extracting the amplitude and phase of the response signal at a specific frequency. This process can greatly suppress noise interference and improve the signal-to-noise ratio.

[0078] Alternatively, by performing an FFT transformation on the response signal, converting it from the time domain to the frequency domain, the amplitude and phase of the signal can be read directly at the frequency point of the diagnostic signal (e.g., 100kHz).

[0079] Based on the above analysis, the amplitude attenuation ratio and phase difference can be obtained. The isolation barrier can be equivalently represented as a parallel RC circuit (where R represents insulation resistance and C represents parasitic capacitance). Based on this model, the equivalent insulation impedance value can be calculated using the following formula:

[0080] Z = (Vin / Vre)×K×cos(Φ); where Z is the equivalent insulation resistance, Vin is the amplitude of the injected diagnostic signal, Vre is the amplitude of the measured response signal, K is a known system constant determined by the coupling network and amplifier gain, and Φ is the phase difference.

[0081] The calculation process is completed in real time within the processor using a software algorithm, ultimately yielding the precise equivalent insulation resistance value Z at the current moment, in MΩ.

[0082] S130: The equivalent insulation resistance value and environmental parameters are input into a pre-built digital twin model to dynamically correct the aging rate parameters, so that the digital twin model is synchronized with the physical entity of the medical power supply.

[0083] In this application, this step ensures that the state of the digital twin model remains consistent with the actual aging state of the physical entity. Specifically, during the initialization of the medical power system, a digital twin model of an isolation barrier is established on the processor or in the cloud based on the physicochemical mechanisms of insulating materials' aging (such as the Arrhenius equation and the electrical stress acceleration model). This digital twin model is a state-space equation, where the state variables are internal parameters characterizing the degree of aging of the insulating materials, such as the degree of polymerization of the insulating materials or an abstract aging degree index (between 0 and 1). The key internal parameter of the model is the aging rate parameter, which determines the rate at which the state variables change over time.

[0084] For example, the equivalent insulation resistance value and environmental parameters are input into a pre-built digital twin model for dynamic correction of aging rate parameters, including: inputting the equivalent insulation resistance value, ambient temperature and relative humidity into an adaptive algorithm of the digital twin model to dynamically correct the aging rate parameters inside the digital twin model.

[0085] By using the calculated equivalent insulation impedance value and the collected ambient temperature and relative humidity as a set of joint inputs, the aging rate parameters inside the digital twin model are continuously iterated in the digital twin model, so that the output of the digital twin model is infinitely close to the equivalent insulation impedance value actually measured by the physical entity.

[0086] Preferably, the adaptive algorithm is a Kalman filter; the equivalent insulation impedance value, ambient temperature, and relative humidity are input into the adaptive algorithm of the digital twin model to dynamically correct the aging rate parameters inside the digital twin model. This includes: inputting the equivalent insulation impedance value, ambient temperature, and relative humidity into the adaptive algorithm of the digital twin model, using the state update and measurement update mechanism of the Kalman filter, taking the equivalent insulation impedance value as an observed variable, and taking the ambient temperature and relative humidity as part of the state variables or process noise adjustment factors, to estimate the state variables characterizing the aging rate of the insulation material in the digital twin model, thereby achieving dynamic correction of the aging rate parameters.

[0087] Specifically, the state variables of the Kalman filter are the aging state variables (such as aging degree indicators) in the digital twin model; the observed variables are the equivalent insulation resistance values. Because the equivalent insulation resistance value can be measured directly or indirectly, it can be used as an observed variable to reflect the physical quantity of the aging state; the adjustment factors for the process noise covariance are ambient temperature and relative humidity. For example, when the ambient humidity is high, increasing the variance of the process noise indicates increased uncertainty in the model, making the filter more confident in the measured values ​​(equivalent insulation resistance values); when the environment is stable, the model's predictions are more trusted.

[0088] The digital twin model predicts the aging state and the predicted observation value (i.e., the predicted equivalent insulation resistance) at the next moment based on its current aging rate. The actual measured equivalent insulation resistance value is compared with the model's predicted equivalent insulation resistance value, and the error (residual) is calculated. The Kalman filter, based on a preset gain, uses this error to optimally correct the state variables and aging rate parameters.

[0089] Through this step, the aging rate parameters within the digital twin model are continuously and dynamically corrected, ensuring that the output of the digital twin model (the predicted equivalent insulation resistance value) approximates the actual measured equivalent insulation resistance value of the physical entity. Thus, the digital twin achieves high-fidelity synchronization with the physical entity.

[0090] S140: Using a corrected digital twin model, combined with electrical stress parameters and historical stress time, the remaining life of the isolation barrier is predicted.

[0091] This step utilizes a calibrated, high-fidelity digital twin model, combined with electrical stress parameters and historical stress time, to simulate and extrapolate the future, thereby predicting the remaining lifespan of the isolation barrier.

[0092] Specifically, using the corrected digital twin model, combined with electrical stress parameters and historical stress time, the remaining life of the isolation barrier is predicted. This includes: starting from the aging state accumulated over historical stress time, using electrical stress parameters as the stress condition for continuous action, inputting them into the corrected digital twin model for iterative calculation, and extrapolating the change trend of the equivalent insulation impedance value of the isolation barrier over time; when the extrapolation reaches the equivalent insulation impedance value dropping to a preset safety threshold, the calculation is terminated; the length of the future time simulated by the iterative calculation is the predicted remaining life of the isolation barrier.

[0093] The current aging state, accumulated over historical stress time, serves as the starting point for prediction. This starting point is the current state variable value obtained after dynamic correction of the digital twin model. It is assumed that future electrical stress parameters (input voltage, output voltage, operating frequency) will remain unchanged from their current values.

[0094] Substitute the current electrical stress parameters and environmental parameters (either historical averages or projected values) into the corrected digital twin model. Based on its internally corrected aging rate, the model calculates the aging state one step ahead and, accordingly, predicts the equivalent insulation resistance value at that future moment. By advancing the time by one step and repeating this process with the new aging state as the initial value, the model can iteratively derive the future curve of the equivalent insulation resistance value changing over time.

[0095] The derived predicted equivalent insulation resistance value is compared with a preset safety threshold. This threshold is the critical value for insulation failure determined according to medical safety standards (such as IEC 60601-1 requirements for leakage current). The iterative calculation terminates when the derived predicted equivalent insulation resistance value is less than or equal to the preset safety threshold. The simulated time length from the current time to the termination time is the predicted remaining lifetime of the isolation barrier.

[0096] S150: Based on the comparison between the remaining lifespan and the preset threshold, execute the corresponding active safety control strategy.

[0097] Based on the comparison result between the remaining lifespan and the preset threshold, the corresponding active safety control strategy is executed, including: when the remaining lifespan is greater than the first preset threshold, the system status is determined to be normal and the power supply is controlled to run at full power; when the remaining lifespan is greater than the second preset threshold and less than or equal to the first threshold, a first-level warning is triggered and maintenance warning information is sent to the cloud management platform or user interface; when the remaining lifespan is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, a second-level warning is triggered and a second-level active response is initiated.

[0098] For example, a level-two warning is triggered, and a level-two active response is initiated, including at least one of power derating, a hard alarm, and logging. Specifically, power derating includes limiting the maximum output power of the medical power supply to 50% or less of its rated power by adjusting the duty cycle of the pulse width modulation. This aims to significantly reduce the electrothermal stress on the isolation barrier, slow down its aging process, and buy time for safe maintenance. The hard alarm includes driving the onboard red LED indicator to remain lit and triggering a buzzer to sound, providing a local audible and visual alarm, and sending an "emergency" level alarm message to the monitoring center. Logging includes writing all key data of this event (timestamp, RUL, all sensor readings, and actions performed) into the non-volatile memory (Flash) inside the MCU, providing a complete data chain for subsequent fault analysis and maintenance.

[0099] As can be seen from the above analysis, the active safety control method for medical power supplies based on digital twins provided in this application includes: real-time acquisition of environmental parameters and electrical stress parameters of the power system and recording historical stress time; injection of diagnostic signals into the isolation barrier and synchronous monitoring of the response of the diagnostic signals, calculating the current equivalent insulation impedance value of the isolation barrier; inputting the equivalent insulation impedance value and the environmental parameters into a pre-constructed digital twin model for dynamic correction of aging rate parameters, so that the digital twin model is synchronized with the physical entity of the medical power supply; using the corrected digital twin model, combined with the electrical stress parameters and the historical stress time, predicting the remaining lifespan of the isolation barrier; and executing a corresponding active safety control strategy based on the comparison result of the remaining lifespan with a preset threshold. By integrating digital twin dynamic correction and active signal injection monitoring, this invention achieves high-precision remaining lifespan prediction and executes a graded active safety strategy accordingly, aiming to address the core technical problem of the lack of real-time and accurate predictive management of the health status of medical power supply isolation barriers, which prevents the transformation from passive protection to active prevention. It significantly improves the reliability and safety of medical power supplies, enabling a leap from power outages after a failure to intervention before failure, while providing data support for predictive maintenance and reducing operation and maintenance costs.
