[0027] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a medical wireless charging device, which aims to enable patients to wirelessly charge implanted medical devices in their bodies without feeling anything, without the need for patients to wear additional charging equipment, thereby improving the patient's usage experience.
[0028] In order to make the purpose, advantages and features of the utility model clearer, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and are not in precise proportions, and are only used to conveniently and clearly assist in explaining the purpose of the embodiments of the utility model. The same or similar reference numerals in the drawings represent the same or similar components.
[0029] Figure 1 The overall structural diagram of the medical wireless charging device is shown. Figure 2 and Figure 3 A schematic diagram showing the relationship between the various functional modules of the medical wireless charging device.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the medical wireless charging device includes a bedding 100 and a controller 200. The bedding 100 includes a bedding body 110 and a wireless charging transmitting coil 120 integrated inside the bedding body 110. The controller 200 includes a control module 210 and a driving module 220, wherein the driving module 220 is electrically connected to the wireless charging transmitting coil 120, and the control module 210 is in communication connection with the driving module 220, and is configured to control the driving module 220 to supply power to the wireless charging transmitting coil 120 under preset conditions, so that the wireless charging transmitting coil 120 generates an electromagnetic field. In this way, when a patient with a medical device implanted in his body rests on a bed with the bedding 100, the medical device in his body can be charged. It can be understood that the medical device includes a wireless charging receiving coil, and the wireless charging receiving coil matches the wireless charging transmitting coil 120.
[0031] In the embodiment of the utility model, the range of the electromagnetic field generated by the wireless charging transmitting coil 120 should be large enough to ensure that when the patient is on the bed, the wireless charging receiving coil is in the electromagnetic field, thereby realizing the charging of the medical device. To achieve this purpose, in some embodiments, the wireless charging transmitting coil 120 is a single coil, and it has a larger outer diameter, while in other implementations, the number of the wireless charging transmitting coils 120 is multiple, the area of each of the wireless charging transmitting coils 120 can be smaller, and the multiple wireless charging transmitting coils 120 are dispersedly arranged in the bedding body 110. In addition, in order to reduce the influence of the presence of the wireless charging transmitting coil 120 on the comfort of use of the bedding 100, it is preferred that the bedding 100 also includes a soft buffer layer (not shown in the figure), and the soft buffer layer is wrapped on the outer surface of the wireless charging transmitting coil 120. The soft buffer layer is, for example, a silicone layer. Further preferably, the wireless charging transmitting coil 120 is made of any one of multi-strand silk-covered wire, Litz wire, and Mylar wire to reduce the heat generated by the wireless charging transmitting coil 120 during operation.
[0032] In practice, according to the implantation position of the medical device in the patient's body, the bedding body 110 can be selected from any one of a pillow, a mattress, a blanket or a quilt. Specifically, when the medical device is implanted in the patient's head, the bedding body 110 can be a pillow; when the medical device is implanted in the patient's chest, waist or leg, the bedding body 110 can be any one of a mattress, a blanket or a quilt.
[0033] When patients rest in bed, especially when sleeping at night, they are prone to changes in posture due to turning over, which in turn causes the relative posture of the wireless charging transmitting coil 120 and the wireless charging receiving coil to change, causing the problem of low charging efficiency. However, the sleep time at night is longer, so as long as it can be continuously charged during sleep, the medical device can obtain enough power. Based on this, it is preferred that the medical wireless charging device also includes a power adapter 300, one end of the power adapter 300 is electrically connected to the controller 200, and the other end is used to connect to the mains. That is, the medical wireless charging device is powered by the mains to ensure that the wireless charging transmitting coil can continuously generate an electromagnetic field, thereby continuously charging the medical device. In addition, by using the mains power supply, there is no need to configure other types of power supplies such as disposable batteries or rechargeable batteries, which can effectively reduce the production and use costs of the medical wireless charging device and simplify the use method.
[0034] The medical wireless charging device may also include a trigger module. Accordingly, the controller 200 also includes a wireless communication module 230, and the control module 210 is connected to the wireless communication module 230 and the trigger module. The control module 210 is configured to control the wireless communication module 230 to perform a search operation under the triggering of the trigger module to search whether the wireless charging receiving coil exists. It can be understood that when the wireless charging receiving coil exists, it means that when the wireless charging transmitting coil generates an electromagnetic field, the wireless charging receiving coil is within the range of the electromagnetic field generated by the wireless charging transmitting coil, so as to allow the medical wireless charging device to charge the medical device. In other words, the "preset condition" mentioned in the foregoing refers to the existence of the wireless charging receiving coil. It can also be understood that when the wireless charging receiving coil exists, the wireless communication module 230 also pairs and establishes a connection between the wireless charging transmitting coil 120 and the wireless charging receiving coil, so that when the wireless charging transmitting coil 120 generates an electromagnetic field, the medical device is charged. That is, after the wireless charging transmitting coil 120 and the wireless charging receiving coil are paired, the control module 210 controls the driving module to supply power to the wireless charging transmitting coil 120. In the embodiment of the utility model, the wireless communication module can be a Bluetooth module, a radio frequency module, or other modules with similar functions.
[0035] The embodiment of the utility model does not specifically limit the configuration of the trigger module, as long as it can realize the trigger function. In some embodiments, the controller 200 includes a timing module 240, and the trigger module includes the timing module 240, and the control module 210 is configured to control the wireless communication module 230 to perform the search operation once every predetermined time interval. In other embodiments, specifically in the embodiment where the bedding body 110 includes any one of a pillow, a mattress or a blanket, the bedding 100 also includes a force monitoring element 130, and the force monitoring element 130 is arranged inside the bedding body 110. In these embodiments, the trigger module may include the force monitoring element 130, and when a patient or other person or object is located on the bed, the force monitoring element 130 may be subjected to the force from these people or objects. Thus, the control module 210 is configured to receive the force monitored by the force monitoring element 130, and control the wireless communication module 230 to perform the search operation when the force monitored by the force monitoring element 130 is greater than the first preset value. Preferably, there are multiple force monitoring elements 130, and the multiple force monitoring elements 130 are dispersedly arranged in the bedding body 110. It can be understood that the force monitored by the force monitoring element 130 is greater than the first preset value, which means that the force monitored by any one of the force monitoring elements 130 is greater than the first preset value. The first preset value is artificially determined according to actual needs. Further preferably, the force monitoring element 130 includes a strain gauge, which has the characteristics of high sensitivity, lightness and thinness. Using the strain gauge as the force monitoring element 130 not only has a high monitoring sensitivity, but also can basically eliminate the discomfort caused to the patient by the setting of the force element monitoring unit 130.
[0036] Furthermore, the bedding 100 may also include a first temperature monitoring element 140, which is disposed inside the bedding body 110 and is used to monitor the temperature of the wireless charging transmitting coil 120. The control module 210 is also connected to the first temperature monitoring element 140 in communication, and is configured to receive the temperature of the wireless charging transmitting coil 120, and when the temperature of the wireless charging transmitting coil 120 is greater than a second preset value, control the driving module 220 to stop supplying power to the wireless charging transmitting coil 120, so that the wireless charging transmitting coil 120 stops generating an electromagnetic field, so as to stop charging the medical device, thereby improving the safety of the medical wireless charging device.
[0037] Furthermore, the controller may also include a second temperature monitoring module 250, which is used to monitor the temperature of the driving module 220. The control module 210 is also in communication with the second temperature monitoring module 250, and is configured to control the driving module 220 to stop supplying power to the wireless charging transmitting coil 120 when the temperature of the driving module 220 is greater than a third preset value, thereby improving the safety of the medical wireless charging device. The third preset value may be the same as or different from the second preset value.
[0038] It should be noted that the controller used in the present invention can be any suitable controller in the prior art, such as a programmable logic controller (PLC controller), so as to implement the aforementioned functions through programming, or the controller can be a single-chip microcomputer integrating the aforementioned functions, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to this.
[0039] Although the utility model is disclosed as above, it is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations to the utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the utility model fall within the scope of the claims of the utility model and their equivalents, the utility model is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
