[0018] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0021] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a data acquisition module, including connected EEG leads and a sensor 101. The side of the sensor 101 that contacts the skin is provided with conductive adhesive 102. The conductive adhesive 102 comprises water, 1,2-propanediol, potassium chloride, and sodium polyacrylate. Water acts as a solvent to dissolve the components and form a homogeneous system; 1,2-propanediol acts as a humectant to prevent moisture loss and increased impedance; potassium chloride acts as an ionic conductive agent to provide a conductive ion pathway; and sodium polyacrylate acts as a thickener and binder to enhance adhesion and system stability.
[0023] The data acquisition module provided in this embodiment uses conductive adhesive 102, which comprises water, 1,2-propanediol, potassium chloride, and sodium polyacrylate. This type of conductive adhesive 102 has optimized electrical properties, which can ensure efficient transmission of weak EEG signals, enhance the monitoring accuracy of the anesthesia depth monitor, the long-term stability of the device, and the safety of clinical use.
[0024] The main parameters for evaluating the electrical performance of conductive adhesive 102 include: AC impedance, DC offset voltage, recombination instability and internal noise, defibrillation overload recovery, and bias current tolerance. Existing conventional EEG sensors 101 use conductive adhesive 102 with high AC impedance, large DC offset voltage, significant recombination instability and internal noise, poor defibrillation overload recovery performance, insufficient bias current tolerance, and some formulations using non-aqueous systems, resulting in poor biocompatibility, skin irritation risk, and complex and costly manufacturing processes. Specifically, the existing conductive adhesive 102 using older formulations has the following values: AC impedance: 1000Ω; DC offset voltage: 50mV; recombination instability and internal noise: 40μV; defibrillation overload recovery: 35mV; bias current tolerance: 42mV.
[0025] The conductive adhesive 102 in this application has a water content ranging from 95% to 96% by mass; the conductive adhesive 102 has a 1,2-propanediol content ranging from 0.5% to 1% by mass; the conductive adhesive 102 has a potassium chloride content ranging from 1% to 2% by mass; and the conductive adhesive 102 has a sodium polyacrylate content ranging from 1.5% to 2.5% by mass.
[0026] With the new formula in the above embodiments, the AC impedance can be reduced to within 500Ω. The higher the AC impedance, the lower the signal strength, and the more difficult it is to transmit the acquired signal. Conversely, the lower the impedance, the easier the signal is to transmit, and the stronger the signal strength. With the new formula in the above embodiments, the DC offset voltage can be reduced to within 10mV. EEG waves are weak signals. When an amplifier is used to amplify a weak signal, the DC offset voltage is amplified, masking the useful signal. This causes the ADC sampling reference to shift, affecting measurement accuracy. The smaller the DC offset voltage, the weaker the masking of the useful signal, and the stronger the useful signal. With the new formula in the above embodiments, the internal noise can be reduced to within 10μV. Internal noise is a random fluctuation signal generated by the circuit itself. This signal hinders the transmission of EEG signals. Reducing internal noise will make the transmission of EEG signals more stable. With the new formula in the above embodiments, the defibrillation overload recovery can be reduced to within 20mV. Defibrillation overload recovery refers to the process by which a defibrillator (or its associated circuitry) quickly returns to normal operation after outputting a high-energy defibrillation pulse, avoiding device damage and ensuring reliable triggering on subsequent circuits. The core principles are dissipating residual energy, protecting critical components, and rapidly resetting the circuit. A smaller value indicates greater circuit stability. Using the new formulation in the above embodiments, the bias current tolerance can be achieved below 20mV. Bias current tolerance refers to the maximum allowable bias current for a circuit or component (such as an operational amplifier, sensor 101, or switching device) to operate stably over a long period. The core principle is to prevent excessive current from causing device overheating, performance drift, or functional failure. A smaller value indicates greater circuit stability. Therefore, by optimizing the composition and ratio of the conductive adhesive 102 in the above embodiments, the conductive adhesive 102 can achieve low impedance, low noise, and high stability electrical properties, while simultaneously improving its biocompatibility, reducing skin irritation, and ensuring efficient transmission of weak EEG signals.
[0027] The preparation process of conductive adhesive 102 in this embodiment is as follows: Weigh water, 1,2-propanediol, potassium chloride, and sodium polyacrylate by mass percentage; at room temperature, add water to a stirring container, turn on the stirring device (speed 300r / min-500r / min), slowly add 1,2-propanediol, and stir for 10min-15min until completely dissolved to form a uniform base liquid; while maintaining the stirring state, gradually add potassium chloride powder, and continue stirring for 15min-20min to ensure that the potassium chloride is completely dissolved and there are no particle residues; adjust the stirring speed to 600r / min-800r / min, slowly add sodium polyacrylate, and continue stirring for 30min-40min until the sodium polyacrylate is completely dispersed and dissolved, and the colloid forms a uniform viscous state; place the colloid in a vacuum degassing device, and degas for 10min-15min under a pressure of -0.08MPa to -0.1MPa to remove air bubbles in the system, and obtain the finished water-based conductive adhesive 102.
[0028] Example 1 Specifically, for example, when the mass content of water in the conductive adhesive 102 is 95.5%; the mass content of 1,2-propanediol in the conductive adhesive 102 is 0.8%; the mass content of potassium chloride in the conductive adhesive 102 is 1.2%; and the mass content of sodium polyacrylate in the conductive adhesive 102 is 2.5%: Preparation process: At room temperature, add 95.5g of water to a stirring container, turn on the stirring device (400r / min), add 0.8g of 1,2-propanediol, and stir for 12min until completely dissolved; add 1.2g of potassium chloride powder, and continue stirring for 18min until completely dissolved; adjust the speed to 700r / min, slowly add 2.5g of sodium polyacrylate, and stir for 35min until completely dissolved to form a uniform viscous colloid; place the colloid in a vacuum degassing device and degas for 12min under a pressure of -0.09MPa to obtain the finished conductive adhesive 102.

The AC impedance at 10Hz after the test is 19Ω; Bias current tolerance: After applying a 200nA DC current for 8 hours, the voltage change is 17.3mV.
[0030] Example 2 Specifically, for example, when the mass content of water in the conductive adhesive 102 is 95%; the mass content of 1,2-propanediol in the conductive adhesive 102 is 1%; the mass content of potassium chloride in the conductive adhesive 102 is 1.5%; and the mass content of sodium polyacrylate in the conductive adhesive 102 is 2.5%: The preparation process can be the same as in Example 1.
[0031] Performance test results: AC impedance: The average impedance of 12 electrode pairs is 410Ω, and the maximum impedance of a single electrode pair is 1.5kΩ; DC offset voltage: 7.8mV after stabilization for 1 minute; Composite offset instability and internal noise: Noise of 7.9μV (peak-to-peak) within 5 minutes in the 0.15Hz-100Hz frequency band; Defibrillation overload recovery: The polarization electromotive force is 14.2mV 5 seconds after discharge, and the residual polarization electromotive force transformation rate is -0.3mV / s within 30 seconds. The AC impedance at 10Hz after the test is 16Ω; Bias current tolerance: After applying a 200nA DC current for 8 hours, the voltage change is 15.7mV.
[0032] Example 3 Specifically, for example, the conductive adhesive 102 contains 96% water by mass; 0.5% 1,2-propanediol by mass in the conductive adhesive 102; 1% potassium chloride by mass in the conductive adhesive 102; and 2.5% sodium polyacrylate by mass in the conductive adhesive 102.
[0033] The preparation process can be the same as in Example 1.
[0034] Performance test results: AC impedance: The average impedance of 12 electrode pairs is 480Ω, and the maximum impedance of a single electrode pair is 1.8kΩ; DC offset voltage: 9.8mV after stabilization for 1 minute; Composite offset instability and internal noise: In the 0.15Hz-100Hz frequency band, the noise is 9.5μV (peak-to-peak) within 5 minutes; Defibrillation overload recovery: The polarization electromotive force is 18.3mV 5 seconds after discharge, and the residual polarization electromotive force transformation rate is +0.5mV / s within 30 seconds. The AC impedance at 10Hz after the test is 20Ω; Bias current tolerance: After applying a 200nA DC current for 8 hours, the voltage change is 18.5mV.
[0035] The test results of the above embodiments all meet the design requirements, proving that the water-based conductive adhesive 102 in this application can be effectively applied to the electroencephalogram (EEG) acquisition of the anesthesia depth monitoring instrument, thereby improving the monitoring accuracy and equipment stability.
[0036] Another embodiment also provides an anesthesia depth monitoring device, including the data acquisition module described in any of the above embodiments.
[0037] This anesthesia depth monitoring device is similar to conventional anesthesia depth monitoring devices, including a data processing module and a display interaction module. The data processing module is electrically connected to the data acquisition module and has an embedded host and dedicated algorithm software, which can be used to process the EEG signal data acquired by the data acquisition module. The display interaction module is electrically connected to the data processing module and has a waveform display interface and a port for interfacing with the medical system, which can be used to display the EEG signal data processed by the data processing module.
[0038] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the anesthesia depth monitoring device also includes a movable support 2 and a clamp assembly 3; the movable support 2 includes a support body 201 and an equipment platform 204 that is vertically mounted on the support body 201, the equipment platform 204 is used to place the main body 1 of the anesthesia depth monitoring device; the clamp assembly 3 is mounted on the equipment platform 204 and is used to fix the main body 1 of the anesthesia depth monitoring device on the equipment platform 204.
[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the movable support 2 further includes a drive mechanism 202 and a lifting mechanism 203: the drive mechanism 202 is mounted on the support body 201, and its output end is connected to the lifting mechanism 203; the lifting mechanism 203 is connected to the device platform 204, the drive mechanism 202 drives the lifting mechanism 203 to move, and the lifting mechanism 203 drives the device platform 204 to move synchronously. For example, casters can be provided at the bottom of the support body 201 for easy movement. For example, the drive mechanism 202 can be a combination of a motor, a lead screw, and a nut to provide power to the lifting mechanism 203. For example, the lifting mechanism 203 can be a combination of a slider and a slide rail. The slide rail can be mounted on the support body 201, and the slider can be slidably mounted on the slide rail. The device platform 204 is connected to the slider, and under the drive of the drive mechanism 202, the slider moves up and down along the slide rail, thereby driving the device platform 204 to rise and fall, so as to adjust the height of the main body 1 of the anesthesia depth monitoring instrument. like Figure 4As shown, the clamping assembly 3 includes a first clamping plate 301, a second clamping plate 302, and a cylinder 303. The cylinder 303 is mounted on the equipment platform 204. The first clamping plate 301 and the second clamping plate 302 face each other and are both connected to the cylinder 303. The cylinder 303 drives the first clamping plate 301 and the second clamping plate 302 to move closer or further apart. For example, the cylinder 303 can be mounted on the bottom surface of the equipment platform 204, and the two sides of the equipment platform 204 have grooves to accommodate the first clamping plate 301 and the second clamping plate 302. For example, both the first clamping plate 301 and the second clamping plate 302 have sliding bases 305, and the bottom surface of the equipment platform 204 can be provided with a sliding rod 304. The first clamping plate 301 and the second clamping plate 302 are slidably mounted on the sliding rod 304 via the sliding bases 305. For example, the telescopic head of cylinder 303 can be connected to the sliding base 305 of the first clamping plate 301. The sliding base 305 of the first clamping plate 301 and the second clamping plate 302 can be linked by gears 307 and racks 306. When cylinder 303 drives the first clamping plate 301 to move, it can simultaneously drive the second clamping plate 302 to move. With this configuration, the main body 1 of the anesthesia depth monitoring device can be fixed on the equipment platform 204, improving stability.
[0040] In use, the user can lie on the operating table 4, with the mobile support 2 located at the head of the bed. The anesthesia depth monitor is placed on the mobile support 2 and clamped by the clamp assembly 3. Then, the sensor 101 is connected to the user's head to collect brainwave data.
[0041] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to cover all possible implementations. Those skilled in the art will recognize that various variations and modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations and modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
