Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of energy output control technology, and in particular to a cooling compensation method, device, energy therapy device, and storage medium for an energy therapy device. Background Technology

[0002] In current skin treatments using high-frequency energy such as intense pulsed light, the skin's epidermal temperature can rise due to heat accumulation, causing a burning sensation. Current solutions integrate an energy conduction element at the end of the treatment handpiece and use a cooler to cool this element. This allows the energy conduction element to simultaneously guide high-frequency energy to the user's skin and conduct the cooling generated by the cooler, thus cooling the epidermis while performing treatment and significantly improving treatment comfort.

[0003] However, the thermal management architecture of the current energy therapy device cooling system has inherent defects. There is a significant temperature lag between the inner and outer sides of the energy conduction element. The cooling response speed of the outer side of the energy conduction element acting on the user's skin is much lower than the cooling regulation rate of the inner side of the energy conduction element, which makes it difficult to meet the rapid cooling needs of the treatment head surface, thus affecting the comfort and safety of the treatment process.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the cooling speed on the outside of the energy conduction element has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this application is to provide a cooling compensation method, device, energy therapy device, and storage medium for an energy therapy instrument, aiming to solve the technical problem of how to improve the cooling speed on the outside of the energy conduction element and achieve rapid response regulation of the surface temperature of the treatment head.

[0017] In one embodiment, before obtaining the temperature compensation curve corresponding to the treatment handpiece, the method further includes:

[0018] Acquire the stable inner temperature and stable outer temperature of the energy conduction element corresponding to each set cooling temperature during the preset test process of the treatment handpiece;

[0019] The temperature difference between the inner and outer sides of the energy conduction element is determined based on the stable temperature inside the energy conduction element and the stable temperature outside the energy conduction element.

[0020] The set cooling temperature is fitted with the corresponding temperature difference between the inner and outer sides of the energy conduction element to generate a temperature compensation curve.

[0021] In one embodiment, before starting the cooler and controlling the cooler to operate for a preset compensation time based on a first preset power, the process includes:

[0024] In one embodiment, after obtaining the target temperature on the outside of the energy conduction element that needs to be cooled, the method further includes:

[0025] Obtain the optimized step temperature corresponding to the target temperature;

[0026] The transition cooling power is determined based on the maximum cooling power and / or the cooling power corresponding to the optimized stepped temperature.

[0027] In one embodiment, the step of starting the cooler and controlling the cooler to operate for a preset compensation period based on the transition cooling power includes:

[0028] The cooler is activated, and the real-time internal temperature of the energy conduction element in the treatment handpiece is collected.

[0029] The cooling temperature corresponding to the transition cooling power is used as the target control temperature, and the cooler is controlled to operate for a preset compensation time based on the real-time internal temperature.

[0030] Furthermore, to achieve the above objectives, this application also proposes a cooling compensation device for an energy therapy device, the cooling compensation device for the energy therapy device comprising:

[0031] The temperature determination module is used to obtain the target temperature on the outside of the energy conduction element that needs to be cooled.

To improve the cooling speed, this application first controls the cooler to perform initial high-power cooling at a transitional cooling power lower than the target temperature, and then, after operating at the transitional cooling power for a certain period (i.e., the preset compensation time), controls the cooler to return to the cooling power corresponding to the target temperature for cooling, thereby effectively accelerating the cooling speed on the outside of the energy conduction element and reaching the required target temperature more quickly.

[0049] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0050] To better understand the technical solution of this application, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0051] The main solution of this application is: to obtain the target temperature that needs to be cooled on the outside of the energy conduction element; to start the cooler and control the cooler to operate for a preset compensation time based on the transition cooling power; the transition cooling power is the cooling power corresponding to the cooling temperature below the target temperature; after the preset compensation time is reached, control the cooler to operate based on the cooling power corresponding to the target temperature.

[0052] Current high-frequency energy-based treatments involve installing an energy conduction element on the treatment handpiece and using a cooler to cool the element, achieving simultaneous epidermal cooling during treatment and improving the user experience. Before treatment, the existing method involves the cooler operating at a specified power level to control the end of the energy conduction element closest to the skin to reach the designated temperature before the element is brought into contact with the user's skin to deliver high-frequency energy for laser treatment. However, because the cooler can only be installed inside the energy conduction element, the outer surface of the element in direct contact with the user's skin relies on the element's own thermal conductivity for passive cooling, resulting in a relatively long cooling time. Therefore, improving the cooling speed of the outer surface of the energy conduction element is a pressing issue.

[0053] To improve the cooling rate on the outside of the energy conduction element, this application first controls the cooler to perform initial high-power cooling at a transitional cooling power corresponding to a cooling temperature lower than the target temperature. Then, after controlling the cooler to operate at the transitional cooling power for a certain period of time, i.e., after a preset compensation period, it is controlled to return to the cooling power corresponding to the target temperature for cooling. This effectively accelerates the cooling rate on the outside of the energy conduction element, thereby achieving rapid response regulation of the treatment head surface temperature and meeting the real-time temperature control requirements of laser treatment.

[0054] It should be noted that the executing entity in this embodiment can be the cooling compensation system of an energy therapy device, or a computing service device with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions connected to a laser therapy handpiece, such as a tablet computer, personal computer, or mobile phone, or an energy therapy device capable of performing the above functions. This embodiment does not specifically limit it in this way. The following uses an energy therapy device (hereinafter referred to as the therapy device) as the executing entity to describe this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0055] Based on this, the embodiments of this application provide a cooling compensation method for an energy therapy device, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a first flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the cooling compensation method for the energy therapy device of this application.

[0056] In this embodiment, the cooling compensation method of the energy therapy device includes steps S10 to S30:

[0057] Step S10: Obtain the target temperature that needs to be cooled on the outside of the energy conduction element;

[0058] Step S20: Start the cooler and control the cooler to operate for a preset compensation time based on the transition cooling power; the transition cooling power is the cooling power corresponding to the cooling temperature below the target temperature;

[0059] Step S30: After the preset compensation time is reached, control the cooler to operate based on the cooling power corresponding to the target temperature.

[0060] It is important to understand that the aforementioned energy conduction element is a conductive medium that outputs high-frequency energy to the skin through skin contact. In some embodiments, when the output high-frequency energy is intense pulsed light, the energy conduction element can be a high-transmittance light-guiding material, such as sapphire. It is easy to understand that because the energy conduction element is in contact with the skin while simultaneously outputting energy and cooling, it is inconvenient to obtain the temperature of the skin-contacting side of the energy conduction element, i.e., the outer side of the energy conduction element, in real time during actual treatment.

[0061] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 As can be seen, in this embodiment, sapphire crystal can be used as an energy conduction element and installed at the end of the handle. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the cooling structure of the treatment handle in the first embodiment of the cooling compensation method for the energy therapy device of this application. Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment can use a cooler (such as...) Figure 2 (as shown) cooling element and temperature detection device (such as Figure 2 The NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) temperature sensor shown is integrated inside the sapphire crystal, while the outer side of the sapphire crystal can directly contact the user's skin. Currently, the temperature detection device typically adjusts the outer surface of the sapphire crystal to the set cooling temperature only after detecting that the inner surface temperature has reached the set cooling temperature, through thermal conduction. Therefore, the outer surface of the energy conduction element, which is in direct contact with the user's skin, can only passively cool due to the element's own thermal conductivity. However, there is a significant temperature hysteresis between the inner and outer surfaces of the energy conduction element, meaning the cooling response speed of the outer surface is much slower than the cooling regulation rate of the inner surface.

[0062] Therefore, existing solutions are insufficient to meet the rapid temperature control requirements of high-frequency energy output therapy. In order to improve the speed at which the temperature outside the energy conduction element is adjusted to the target temperature that needs to be cooled, this embodiment first controls the cooler to work at a power lower than the specified temperature, i.e., the aforementioned transitional cooling power, so that the energy conduction element is cooled down more quickly, accelerating the heat exchange rate between the inside and outside of the energy conduction element. Then, after working for a certain period of time, the cooler is controlled to return to the cooling power corresponding to the target temperature, ensuring that the outside temperature is eventually adjusted to the target temperature.

[0063] Compared to existing methods that directly regulate based on a given cooling temperature, this embodiment can effectively control the outer temperature to drop more quickly and eventually reach the set cooling temperature, thereby achieving rapid response regulation of the treatment head surface temperature and meeting the real-time temperature control requirements of laser treatment.

[0064] In one feasible implementation, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a second flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the cooling compensation method for the energy therapy device of this application. In this embodiment, steps A1 to A2 may be included before step S20:

[0065] Step A1: Obtain the temperature stability curve corresponding to the treatment handpiece; the temperature stability curve characterizes the temperature regulation characteristics of the energy conduction element under the action of the cooler;

[0066] Step A2: Determine the preset compensation duration based on the temperature stability curve and the target temperature.

[0067] It is easy to understand that, in order to improve the accuracy of temperature control and avoid the temperature on the outside of the energy conduction element dropping too quickly and falling below the target temperature, this application can control the duration of the cooler's cooling at transitional cooling power. Specifically, this embodiment can obtain the temperature stability curve generated after the treatment handpiece is loaded with sapphire and undergoes a preset cooling test. This temperature stability curve can characterize the temperature regulation characteristics of the energy conduction element in the current treatment handpiece under the action of the cooler. Furthermore, this embodiment can accurately determine the high-power operation duration of the cooler corresponding to the target temperature required on the outside of the current energy conduction element based on the temperature stability curve, i.e., the aforementioned preset compensation duration. Since the inside of the sapphire is in contact with the cooler, and the outside of the sapphire is away from the cooler, the cooling capacity of the cooler can be quickly and directly conducted to the inside of the sapphire; while the cold on the outside needs to be conducted from the inside of the sapphire through the entire length of the sapphire to the outside, which takes a longer time. Therefore, even if the cooler operates at transitional cooling power for a period of time, the temperature on the outside of the sapphire will not reach its corresponding cooling temperature below the target temperature. In this solution, the duration of operation at the transitional cooling power is set to the duration of operation at the target temperature. This ensures that the temperature on the outside of the sapphire drops rapidly without falling below the target temperature. At the same time, compared to operating at the cooling power corresponding to the target temperature, the time it takes for the outside to reach the target temperature is shortened, thus improving the cooling efficiency of the outside of the sapphire.

[0068] In one embodiment, in order to ensure the accuracy of temperature regulation on the outside of the energy conduction element, the inside of the energy conduction element does not need to drop to an excessively low temperature during the adjustment of the transitional cooling power. In this embodiment, during the preset test of the treatment handpiece equipped with sapphire, the time it takes for the temperature inside the energy conduction element to reach the set cooling temperature can be collected, and the characteristic of the temperature inside the energy conduction element reaching the expected cooling temperature under high-power cooling can be inferred.

[0069] Therefore, during the preset testing process of the treatment handpiece, this embodiment can control the cooler to start cooling according to each set cooling temperature after the experimental temperature returns to room temperature each time. Simultaneously, the set cooling temperature Tref can be controlled to be 0-20℃, with increments of 2℃, and the stabilization time t1 of the inner side of the energy conduction element corresponding to each set cooling temperature is recorded. Assuming the treatment handpiece uses sapphire as the energy conduction element, the experimental data can be shown in Table 1 below.

[0070] Table 1: Data on the Stabilization Time of the Inner Temperature at the Set Cooling Temperature

[0071]

[0072]

[0073] At this point, this embodiment can perform curve fitting based on the preset cooling temperature Tref and the sapphire inner stabilization time t1 collected during the preset test process to generate a temperature stability curve characterizing the mapping relationship between the set cooling temperature of the treatment handpiece and the stabilization time of the energy conduction element. The temperature stability curve generated based on the data in Table 1 can be as follows: Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the temperature stability curve of the first embodiment of the cooling compensation method of the energy therapy device of this application.

[0074] It should be noted that, Figure 4 The formula for expressing the temperature stability curve shown in the figure can be:

[0075] t1 = ATref 2 +BTref+C; (1)

[0076] Where Tref is the set cooling temperature, t1 is the internal stabilization time, and A, B, and C are the time adjustment parameters determined by fitting the set cooling temperature with the corresponding internal stabilization time. For example, based on the data fitted in Table 1 above... Figure 4 In the formula corresponding to the curve, A can be 0.15, B can be 7.65, and C can be 105.12. In the subsequent actual cooling process, the target temperature can be used as the set cooling temperature and substituted into the formula corresponding to the temperature stability curve to quickly obtain the preset compensation time corresponding to the target temperature.

[0077] In one feasible implementation, step S20 includes steps S21 to S22:

[0078] Step S21: Activate the cooler and collect the real-time inner temperature of the energy conduction element in the treatment handpiece;

[0079] Step S22: The cooling temperature corresponding to the transition cooling power is taken as the target control temperature, and the cooler is controlled to run for a preset compensation time based on the real-time internal temperature.

[0080] It is necessary to understand that, by Figure 2 As shown in the structure, both the cooler and the temperature sensing device are located inside the energy transfer element. Therefore, the feedback temperature for the cooler's closed-loop temperature control can also be the real-time internal temperature corresponding to the energy transfer element. For ease of understanding, combined with... Figure 5 Provide an explanation. Figure 5 This is a block diagram of the cooler temperature control in the first embodiment of the cooling compensation method for the energy therapy device of this application. Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the specific means of controlling the cooler to perform high-power cooling based on the transition cooling power can be: taking the cooling temperature Ttrans corresponding to the transition cooling power as the input parameter, and taking the real-time inner temperature T1 of the energy conduction element as the feedback parameter for PID control, and running for a preset compensation time.

[0081] In summary, this embodiment can conduct multiple cooling conduction tests under set cooling temperature conditions on the treatment handpiece loaded with high light transmittance light guide materials such as sapphire as energy conduction elements in advance, obtain the temperature stabilization time t1 corresponding to the inner side of the energy conduction element of the treatment handpiece under each set cooling temperature Tref, and fit it to generate a temperature stability curve characterizing the relationship between Tref and t1.

[0082] Then, during the actual laser treatment, the target temperature T that needs to be cooled on the outside of the energy conduction element is first obtained. Then, based on the temperature stability curve characterizing the relationship between Tref and t1, the preset stability compensation time tc corresponding to the target temperature T is obtained. Next, after the cooler is activated, within the 0-tc time period (the preset compensation time), the temperature inside the energy conduction element is lowered to a real-time temperature below the target temperature T, thereby accelerating the heat exchange rate with the outside of the energy conduction element. Finally, the cooler is controlled to restore the inner temperature to the cooling power corresponding to the target temperature T, ensuring that the outer temperature is ultimately adjusted to the target temperature T.

[0083] In one feasible implementation, this embodiment further includes steps S11 to S12 after step S10:

[0084] Step S11: Obtain the optimized step temperature corresponding to the target temperature;

[0085] Step S12: Determine the transition cooling power based on the maximum cooling power and / or the cooling power corresponding to the optimized step temperature.

[0086] It is important to understand that in this embodiment, the maximum cooling power can be the cooling power required to adjust the refrigerator to 0 degrees Celsius. The cooling speed is fastest when the refrigerator uses the maximum cooling power as the transition cooling power. It is easy to understand that the maximum cooling power corresponds to the highest energy consumption, and the difference between the maximum cooling power and the cooling power corresponding to the target temperature is also significant. Therefore, this embodiment can also combine the maximum cooling power with a phased transition cooling power setting to achieve smoother power switching, ensure equipment lifespan, and improve cooling efficiency.

[0087] In one embodiment, the optimal step temperature with the lowest energy consumption corresponding to different set cooling temperatures can be stored in advance through energy consumption testing, and then the transition cooling power can be determined by combining the maximum cooling power and / or the cooling power corresponding to the optimal step temperature.

[0088] If the target temperature is not significantly different from 0 degrees Celsius, for example, if the target temperature is 4 degrees Celsius, then the maximum cooling power can be directly used as the transitional cooling power. If there is a certain difference between the target temperature and 0 degrees Celsius, this embodiment can determine the transitional cooling power based on both the optimized step temperature and the maximum cooling power. For example, if the target temperature is 10 degrees Celsius, and the optimized step temperature corresponding to 10 degrees Celsius is 5 degrees Celsius, then the cooling power corresponding to 5 degrees Celsius and the maximum cooling power can be used together as the transitional cooling power. If there is a certain difference between the target temperature and 0 degrees Celsius, or if the number of cooling power switching times corresponding to the optimized step temperature is already sufficient, then this embodiment can determine the transitional cooling power based solely on the optimized step temperature and the maximum cooling power. For example, if the target temperature is 18 degrees Celsius, and the optimized step temperatures corresponding to 18 degrees Celsius are 3 degrees Celsius, 9 degrees Celsius, and 12 degrees Celsius, then the cooling powers corresponding to 3 degrees Celsius, 9 degrees Celsius, and 12 degrees Celsius can be used as the transitional cooling power.

[0089] In this embodiment, a suitable transition cooling power can be determined based on the target temperature to prevent excessive energy consumption or equipment overheating due to the switching of cooling power, thereby extending the equipment life and reducing overall energy consumption while ensuring comfort.

[0090] Therefore, this embodiment can obtain the preset compensation time corresponding to the target temperature based on the temperature stability curve generated by the preset cooling conditions. Then, within the preset compensation time, it operates with transitional cooling power to accelerate the heat exchange rate between the inner and outer sides of the energy conduction element. After reaching the preset time, it controls the cooler to operate with the cooling power corresponding to the target temperature, ensuring that the outer temperature is eventually adjusted to the target temperature T. Compared to existing methods that directly regulate based on a given cooling temperature, this embodiment can effectively control the outer temperature to drop more quickly and eventually reach the set cooling temperature, thereby achieving rapid response regulation of the treatment head surface temperature and meeting the real-time temperature control requirements of laser treatment. Simultaneously, this embodiment can also determine an appropriate transitional cooling power based on the target temperature to prevent excessive energy consumption or equipment overheating due to cooling power switching, thereby extending equipment lifespan and reducing overall energy consumption while ensuring comfort.

[0091] This embodiment provides a cooling compensation method for an energy therapy device. The method includes: acquiring the target temperature at which the outer side of the energy conduction element needs to be cooled; acquiring the inner stabilization time corresponding to each set cooling temperature during a preset test process for the treatment handpiece; the inner stabilization time is the time it takes for the inner temperature of the energy conduction element to reach the set cooling temperature; performing data fitting between the set cooling temperature and the corresponding inner stabilization time to generate a temperature stability curve. The method further includes: acquiring the temperature stability curve corresponding to the treatment handpiece; determining the preset compensation time based on the temperature stability curve and the target temperature; starting the cooler and acquiring the real-time inner temperature corresponding to the energy conduction element in the treatment handpiece; acquiring the optimized step temperature corresponding to the target temperature; determining the transition cooling power based on the maximum cooling power and / or the cooling power corresponding to the optimized step temperature; using the cooling temperature corresponding to the transition cooling power as the target control temperature, controlling the cooler to operate based on the real-time inner temperature for the preset compensation time; the transition cooling power is the cooling power corresponding to the cooling temperature lower than the target temperature; after reaching the preset compensation time, controlling the cooler to operate based on the cooling power corresponding to the target temperature. This embodiment obtains the preset compensation time corresponding to the target temperature based on the pre-generated temperature stability curve during the test. Then, it operates at transitional cooling power within the preset compensation time, thereby accelerating the heat exchange rate between the inner and outer sides of the energy conduction element. After the preset time is reached, the cooler is controlled to operate at the cooling power corresponding to the target temperature, ensuring that the outer temperature is ultimately adjusted to the target temperature T. Compared to existing methods that directly regulate based on a given cooling temperature, this embodiment can effectively control the outer temperature to drop more rapidly and eventually reach the set cooling temperature, thus achieving rapid response regulation of the treatment head surface temperature and meeting the real-time temperature control requirements of laser treatment. Furthermore, this embodiment can determine an appropriate transitional cooling power based on the target temperature to prevent excessive energy consumption or equipment overheating due to cooling power switching, thereby extending equipment lifespan and reducing overall energy consumption while ensuring comfort.

[0092] Based on the first embodiment of this application, in the second embodiment of this application, the same or similar content as the first embodiment described above can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter.

[0093] Based on the first embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating the second embodiment of the cooling compensation method for the energy therapy device of this application. In this embodiment, step S10 includes steps S11 to S12:

[0094] Step S11: Obtain the expected cooling temperature of the outer side of the energy conduction element that needs to be cooled;

[0095] Step S12: Perform temperature compensation on the expected cooling temperature to obtain the target temperature.

[0096] It is easy to understand that the aforementioned expected cooling temperature can be the temperature at which the outer side of the energy conduction element needs to be cooled. Existing laser treatment cooling methods control the outer side of the energy conduction element to reach a specified temperature by controlling the cooler inside the energy conduction element to continue operating for a period of time after the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor inside the energy conduction element reaches the expected cooling temperature. Therefore, the actual operating temperature of the energy conduction element when conducting laser light to the user's skin may deviate from the expected cooling temperature. Furthermore, due to factors such as ambient temperature and differences in the installation of the cooler and temperature detection device, the greater the temperature difference between the set expected cooling temperature and the ambient temperature, the greater the deviation between the final cooling temperature on the outer side of the energy conduction element and the expected cooling temperature. Therefore, to ensure the accuracy of cooling on the outer side of the energy conduction element, this embodiment can calibrate and compensate for the expected cooling temperature required on the outer side of the energy conduction element, and control the cooler to use the compensated target temperature as the final target for temperature control, thereby ensuring that the outer side of the energy conduction element can accurately reach the expected cooling temperature.

[0097] In one feasible implementation, step S12 may include steps C1 to C3:

[0098] Step C1: Obtain the temperature compensation curve corresponding to the treatment handpiece;

[0099] Step C2: Obtain the conduction temperature difference corresponding to the expected cooling temperature based on the temperature compensation curve;

[0100] Step C3: Determine the target temperature based on the expected cooling temperature and the conduction temperature difference.

[0101] It should be understood that the aforementioned temperature compensation curve characterizes the temperature conduction characteristics of the energy conduction element in the current treatment handpiece at different cooling temperatures when the cooler is operating. This temperature compensation curve can be determined based on the preset testing process of the treatment handpiece. Therefore, this embodiment can determine the temperature conduction difference corresponding to the expected cooling temperature based on the pre-measured temperature compensation curve, and then determine the target temperature for final cooling control based on the obtained conduction temperature difference.

[0102] It's easy to understand that during the actual treatment process of an energy therapy device, due to the limitations of the product's characteristics, the outer side of the energy conduction element is in close contact with the skin, making it impossible to effectively obtain its real-time temperature. The conduction temperature difference determined in steps C1-C3 above was obtained during the testing phase of the treatment handle by setting a temperature sensor on its outer side.

[0103] In one feasible implementation, in this embodiment, steps D1 to D3 may be included before step C1:

[0104] Step D1: Obtain the stable inner temperature and stable outer temperature of the energy conduction element corresponding to each set cooling temperature during the preset test process of the treatment handpiece;

[0105] Step D2: Determine the temperature difference between the inner and outer sides of the energy conduction element based on the stable temperature inside the energy conduction element and the stable temperature outside the energy conduction element.

[0106] Step D3: Perform data fitting between the set cooling temperature and the corresponding temperature difference between the inner and outer sides of the energy conduction element to generate a temperature compensation curve.

[0107] It is understood that this embodiment can also record the inner stable temperature T1 and outer stable temperature T2 of the energy conduction element corresponding to each set cooling temperature during the preset test of the treatment handpiece, thereby determining the temperature difference between the inner and outer sides of the energy conduction element corresponding to different set cooling temperatures under the current cooling effect of the treatment handpiece.

[0108] It should be noted that this embodiment can determine the aforementioned temperature compensation curve based on the conduction temperature difference between the inner and outer sides of the energy conduction element corresponding to different set cooling temperatures. Then, by using the temperature compensation curve, it can find the possible conduction temperature difference between the inner and outer sides of the energy conduction element when the treatment handpiece needs to be adjusted to the expected cooling temperature. Finally, it compensates for the expected cooling temperature based on the conduction temperature difference to obtain the cooling control temperature that allows the real-time temperature of the outer side of the energy conduction element to be adjusted to the expected cooling temperature during the actual cooling process, i.e., the aforementioned target temperature. It is easy to understand that the target temperature can be equal to the expected cooling temperature minus the conduction temperature difference.

[0109] For example, in this embodiment, sapphire can be assumed to be the energy conduction element, and the temperature difference between the inner and outer sides of the sapphire and the set temperature Tref is measured during the preset test of the treatment handpiece, as shown in Table 2 below.

[0110] Table 2 Setting Cooling Temperature - Temperature Difference Data for Inside and Outside Sapphire Crystal

[0111]

[0112] Then, in this embodiment, linear fitting can be performed based on the data in Table 2 to generate a temperature compensation curve. The formula for expressing the temperature compensation curve can be:

[0113] dT = DTref + E; (2)

[0114] Where Tref is the set cooling temperature, dT is the temperature difference between the inside and outside, and D and E are the time adjustment parameters determined by fitting the set cooling temperature with the corresponding stable duration on the inside. For example, the temperature stability curve fitted based on the data in Table 2 can be shown as follows: Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7This is a schematic diagram of the temperature compensation curve for the second embodiment of the cooling compensation method of the energy therapy device of this application. Figure 7 As shown, D can be -0.065 and E can be 1.646 at this time. Subsequently, the expected cooling temperature can be used as the set cooling temperature and substituted into the expression formula corresponding to the temperature compensation curve to quickly obtain the conduction temperature difference corresponding to the expected cooling temperature, thereby quickly determining the target temperature.

[0115] In this embodiment, to address the inherent temperature conduction deviation problem, a temperature compensation curve is generated during the preset testing process of the treatment handpiece by performing curve fitting based on the measured temperature difference between the inner and outer sides of the energy conduction element corresponding to each set cooling temperature. This temperature compensation curve is then used to quickly calibrate and compensate for the expected cooling temperature, and the cooler is controlled to use the target temperature as the final temperature control objective, thereby ensuring that the outer side of the energy conduction element ultimately reaches the expected cooling temperature. Therefore, this embodiment can accelerate the reaching of the set temperature on the outer side of the energy conduction element while simultaneously calibrating the temperature deviation, ensuring the cooling accuracy on the outer side of the energy conduction element.

[0116] This embodiment discloses obtaining the expected cooling temperature required for the outer side of the energy conduction element; obtaining the stable inner and outer temperatures of the energy conduction element corresponding to each set cooling temperature during the preset testing process of the treatment handpiece; determining the temperature difference between the inner and outer sides of the energy conduction element based on the stable inner and outer temperatures; and performing data fitting between the set cooling temperature and the corresponding temperature difference between the inner and outer sides of the energy conduction element to generate a temperature compensation curve. The embodiment also obtains the temperature compensation curve corresponding to the treatment handpiece; obtains the conduction temperature difference corresponding to the expected cooling temperature based on the temperature compensation curve; and determines the target temperature based on the expected cooling temperature and the conduction temperature difference. This embodiment can generate a temperature compensation curve during the preset testing process of the treatment handpiece by curve fitting based on the measured conduction temperature difference between the inner and outer sides of the energy conduction element corresponding to each set cooling temperature. Then, it can quickly calibrate and compensate for the expected cooling temperature based on the temperature compensation curve, and control the cooler to use the target temperature as the final target for temperature regulation, thereby ensuring that the outer side of the energy conduction element can ultimately reach the expected cooling temperature. Therefore, this embodiment can accelerate the reaching of the set temperature on the outer side of the energy conduction element while calibrating the temperature deviation, ensuring the accuracy of cooling on the outer side of the energy conduction element.
