[0022] As described in the background section, the backup battery of medical devices is usually installed inside the device.

[0024] It should be noted that the medical device in this utility model embodiment can be any medical device with a backup battery, such as anesthesia machine, ventilator, etc., but is not limited to this.
[0025] It should also be noted that the user in this utility model embodiment can refer to the user or manager of the medical device, such as medical staff using the medical device or equipment management personnel of the hospital.
[0026] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and beneficial effects of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first type of medical device in this embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the medical device 1 may include: a power interface 11, a power control module 12, a first backup battery module 13, a detection interface 14, and a switch 15.
[0029] Specifically, the power interface 11 can be used to connect to an external main power source for the medical device 1. For example, the main power source can be an AC grid power source, and the power interface 11 can be connected to an external AC grid power source. As another example, the main power source can be a hospital's backup generator set, and the power interface 11 can be connected to a hospital's backup generator set.
[0030] Furthermore, the power control module 12 has a first input terminal, a second input terminal, and an output terminal. The first input terminal of the power control module 12 can be electrically connected to the power interface 11, and the output terminal of the power control module 12 can be electrically connected to the load (not shown) in the medical device 1. Thus, when the power interface 11 is electrically connected to an external main power supply, the external main power supply supplies power to the load in the medical device 1.
[0031] Furthermore, the first backup battery module 13 can be used to power the load in the medical device 1 when the main power supply is interrupted. For example, the first backup battery module 13 can be a storage battery.
[0032] Specifically, switch 15 may have a first input port 151, a first output port 152, and a second output port 153. The first input port 151 is electrically connected to the first backup battery module 13. Specifically, the first input port 151 is electrically connected to the positive and negative terminals of the first backup battery module 13. The first output port 152 of switch 15 is electrically connected to the power control module 12. Specifically, the power control module 12 may have a second input terminal, which can be used to electrically connect to the first output port 152 of switch 15. The second output port 153 of switch 15 can be electrically connected to the detection interface 14.
[0033] If the first input port 151 and the first output port 152 of the switch 15 are electrically connected, the first backup battery module 13 is electrically connected to the second input terminal of the power control module 12 via the switch 15, thereby enabling the first backup battery module 13 to supply power to the load in the medical device 1.
[0034] Specifically, the power control module 12 may include: a battery management module ( Figure 1 (Not shown). The battery management module can be used to control the power supply of the first backup battery module 13.
[0035] In a specific implementation, the first output port 152 of switch 15 can be electrically connected to the battery management module. When the main power is interrupted, the first input port 151 and the first output port 152 of switch 15 are electrically connected, and the battery management module can control the first backup battery module 13 to discharge, thereby supplying power to the load in medical device 1.
[0036] In one possible implementation, the battery management module can also be used to charge the first backup battery module 13. Specifically, when the power interface 11 is electrically connected to the main power supply, the first input port 151 and the first output port 152 of the switch 15 are electrically connected, the first backup battery module 13 is electrically connected to the battery management module, and in addition to supplying power to the load in the medical device 1, the main power supply can also be used by the battery management module to charge the first backup battery module 13.
[0037] Furthermore, if the first input port 151 and the second output port 153 of switch 15 are electrically connected, then the first backup battery module 13 is electrically connected to the detection interface 14 via switch 15. Since the detection interface 14 can be connected to an external battery detection component (… Figure 1 (Not shown), therefore, the first backup battery module 14 can be electrically connected to an external battery detection component via switch 15, detection interface 14.
[0038] In one possible implementation, the first backup battery module 13 may include multiple backup battery cells connected in series, and the battery detection component may be used to detect each backup battery cell separately to obtain the detection result of each backup battery cell.
[0039] It should be noted that the battery detection component in this utility model embodiment can be a module, device, or equipment capable of detecting battery performance. The battery detection component can detect the health status of the battery, etc. This utility model embodiment does not limit the specific type of battery detection component.
[0040] In practice, switch 15 can be a single-pole double-throw switch or a multi-way selector switch, etc.
[0041] In practical implementation, during normal use of medical device 1, the first input port 151 of switch 15 can be electrically connected to the first output port 152 of switch 15. Therefore, if the main power supply is interrupted, the first backup battery module 13 can be used for power supply. If it is necessary to test the first backup battery module 13, the user of medical device 1 can switch the state of switch 15 so that the first input port 151 and the second output port 153 of switch 15 are electrically connected, thereby electrically connecting the first backup battery module 13 to the detection interface 14. The user can then connect the battery detection component to the detection interface 14 to test the first backup battery module 13.
[0042] Furthermore, medical device 1 may also include a sealing component ( Figure 1 (Not shown) is used to seal the detection interface 14. Specifically, a sealing component may be provided at the detection interface 14. When it is necessary to test the first backup battery module 13, the sealing component can be opened to expose the detection interface 14, and then the battery detection component can be electrically connected to the detection interface 14. When it is not necessary to test the first backup battery module 13, the detection interface 14 is sealed by the sealing component.
[0043] Therefore, in the solution of Embodiment 1, by setting up a switch and a detection interface, when the first backup battery module needs to be tested, the user only needs to switch the state of the switch to electrically connect the first backup battery module and the detection interface, and then connect the battery detection component to the detection interface to realize the testing of the first backup battery module. This solution eliminates the need to disassemble the medical device, making it more convenient and efficient.
[0044] Example 2
[0045] Unlike the solution in Embodiment 1, in Embodiment 2, the battery detection component is integrated inside the medical device. The following mainly describes the differences between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1. For more information about the medical device in Embodiment 2, please refer to the relevant description in Embodiment 1 above.
[0046] In the second embodiment, the medical device may include: a power interface, a power control module, a first backup battery module, a battery detection component, and a switch.
[0047] The switch has a first input port electrically connected to a first backup battery module, a first output port electrically connected to a power control module, and a second output port electrically connected to a battery detection component. If the first input port and the first output port are electrically connected, the first backup battery module is electrically connected to the power control module and provides power. If the first input port and the second output port are electrically connected, the first backup battery module is electrically connected to the battery detection component, which then performs detection on the first backup battery module.
[0048] In practical implementation, the switch can be a two-way selector. Specifically, medical devices may also include a control module. For example, the control module can be a microcontroller unit (MCU). The control module can switch the state of the switch using control signals.
[0049] For example, in response to a first control signal, the switch is switched to electrically connect the first input port and the first output port, thereby electrically connecting the first backup battery module to the power control module, and the first backup battery module is used to supply power. In response to a second control signal, the switch is switched to electrically connect the first input port and the second output port, thereby electrically connecting the first backup battery module to the battery detection component, and the battery detection component detects the first backup battery module.
[0050] In one possible implementation, the battery detection component can be integrated into the power control module. Alternatively, the switch can also be integrated into the power control module.
[0051] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second type of medical device in this embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the medical device 2 may include: a power interface 11, a power control module 12, and a first backup battery module 13.
[0052] Furthermore, the power control module 12 may include a battery management module 121, a battery detection component 122, and a switch 123. The battery management module 121 may have a first input terminal, a second input terminal, and an output terminal. More details regarding the first input terminal, second input terminal, and output terminal of the battery management module 121 can be found in the above description of the first input terminal, second input terminal, and output terminal of the power control module 12.
[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the first input port 1231 of switch 123 is electrically connected to the first backup battery module 13, the first output port 1232 of switch 123 is electrically connected to the second input terminal of battery management module 121, and the second output port 1233 of switch 123 is electrically connected to battery detection component 122.
[0054] As described above, if the first input port 1231 of switch 123 is electrically connected to the first output port 1232 of switch 123, then the first backup battery module 13 is electrically connected to the second input terminal of battery management module 121. The output terminal of battery management module 121 is electrically connected to the load, thereby allowing battery management module 121 to control the first backup battery module 13 to discharge and supply power to the load of medical device 3. Furthermore, the first input terminal of battery management module 121 is electrically connected to the main power supply, and the output terminal of battery management module 121 is electrically connected to the load, thereby allowing battery management module 121 to also control the main power supply to charge the first backup battery module 13. If the first input port 1231 of switch 123 is electrically connected to the second output port 1233 of switch 123, then the first backup battery module 13 is electrically connected to battery detection component 122. Therefore, battery detection component 122 can detect the first backup battery module 13.
[0055] It should be noted that the battery detection component 122 and the switch 123 can also be integrated into other modules of the medical device 2 besides the power control module 12, and this embodiment does not limit this.
[0056] In one possible implementation, the medical device 2 may further include: a communication module ( Figure 2 (Not shown). Specifically, the communication module can be electrically connected to the battery detection component 122, and the detection result of the first backup battery module 13 can be transmitted to the communication module, which can then send the detection result of the first backup battery module 13 to the outside.
[0057] For example, the communication module can communicate with the server of the manufacturer of medical device 2, and the communication module can send the detection results of the first backup battery module 13 to the server of the manufacturer of medical device 2. Thus, the manufacturer of medical device 2 can remotely monitor the health status of the first backup battery module in each medical device 2, and can more conveniently and promptly maintain and manage the backup batteries of each medical device.
[0058] For example, the communication module can communicate with the user terminal. The communication module can send the detection results of the first backup battery module 13 to the user terminal, so that the user of the medical device 2 can know the health status of the backup battery in the medical device 2 in a timely manner, thereby promptly detecting the abnormal status of the backup battery.
[0059] In one possible implementation, the medical device 2 may further include a human-computer interaction module 17. The human-computer interaction module 17 can acquire the detection result of the first backup battery module 13. When the detection result of the first backup battery module 13 is within a threshold range, the human-computer interaction module 17 can issue a reminder message to alert the user that the first backup battery module 13 is in an abnormal state. For example, the human-computer interaction module 17 can issue the reminder message in the form of text and images. Alternatively, the human-computer interaction module can issue the reminder message in the form of voice. The threshold range can be preset.
[0060] In a specific implementation, the battery detection component 122 can be electrically connected to the control module to send the detection result of the first backup battery module 13 to the control module. The human-machine interaction module 17 is also electrically connected to the control module. If the detection result of the first backup battery module 13 is within the threshold range, the control module sends a reminder control signal to the human-machine interaction module 17, so that the human-machine interaction module 17 issues a reminder message.
[0061] Therefore, in the second embodiment, the battery detection component is integrated inside the medical device, and the medical device also includes a communication module electrically connected to the battery detection component. The communication module is used to transmit the detection results of the first backup battery module. Thus, the solution in this embodiment enables remote monitoring of the health status of the backup battery in the medical device.
[0062] Example 3
[0063] Unlike the solution in Embodiment 2, in Embodiment 3, the medical device further includes an external second backup battery module, and the battery detection component can also detect the second backup battery module. The following mainly describes the differences between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 2. For more information about the medical device in Embodiment 3, please refer to the relevant descriptions in Embodiments 1 and 2 above.
[0064] In the third embodiment, the medical device may include: a power interface, a power control module, a first backup battery module, a battery detection component, a switch, and a battery interface. The battery interface is used for electrical connection to an external second backup battery module. In a specific implementation, the second backup battery module can supply power to the load in the medical device when both the main power supply and the first backup battery module are powered off.
[0065] In practice, the switch may include two two-way selectors.
[0066] Specifically, the first input port of the switch is electrically connected to the first backup battery module, the second input port of the switch is electrically connected to the battery interface, the first output port of the switch is electrically connected to the power control module, and the second output port of the switch is electrically connected to the battery detection component. If the switch is switched so that the first input port and the first output port are electrically connected, the first backup battery module is electrically connected to the power control module and supplies power. If the switch is switched so that the first input port and the second output port are electrically connected, the first backup battery module is electrically connected to the battery detection component, which then performs detection on the first backup battery module. If the switch is switched so that the second input port and the first output port are electrically connected, the second backup battery module is electrically connected to the power control module and supplies power. If the switch is switched so that the second input port and the second output port are electrically connected, the second backup battery module is electrically connected to the battery detection component, which then performs detection on the second backup battery module.
[0067] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the third type of medical device in this embodiment of the present invention. (See diagram below.) Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the medical device 3 may include: a power interface 11, a power control module 12, a first backup battery module 13, and a battery interface 18. The battery interface 18 is used for electrical connection to an external second backup battery module. The power control module 12 may include: a battery management module 121, a battery detection component 122, and a switch 124.
[0068] like Figure 3 As shown, the first input port 1241 of switch 124 is electrically connected to the first backup battery module 13, the second input port 1242 of switch 124 is electrically connected to the battery interface 18, the first output port 1243 of switch 124 is electrically connected to the battery management module 121, and the second output port 1244 of switch 124 is electrically connected to the battery detection component 122.
[0069] As described above, if the first input port 1241 of switch 124 is electrically connected to the first output port 1243 of switch 124, then the first backup battery module 13 is electrically connected to the battery management module 121. Thus, the battery management module 121 can control the first backup battery module 13 to discharge, thereby supplying power to the load of medical device 3. If the first input port 1241 of switch 124 is electrically connected to the second output port 1244 of switch 124, then the first backup battery module 13 is electrically connected to the battery detection component 122. Thus, the battery detection component 122 can detect the first backup battery module 13.
[0070] If the second input port 1242 of switch 124 is electrically connected to the first output port 1243 of switch 124, the second backup battery module is electrically connected to the battery management module 121 via battery interface 18 and switch 124. Thus, the battery management module 121 can control the discharge of the second backup battery module to supply power to the load of medical device 3. If the second input port 1242 of switch 124 is electrically connected to the second output port 1244 of switch 124, the second backup battery module is electrically connected to the battery detection component 122 via battery interface 18 and switch 124. Thus, the battery detection component 122 can detect the second backup battery module.
[0071] Furthermore, the medical device 3 may also include a communication module that can transmit the test results of the first backup battery module and / or the test results of the second backup battery module.
[0072] As described above, in the solution of Embodiment 3, when it is necessary to test the external second backup battery module, the external backup battery module is electrically connected to the battery detection component integrated inside the medical device by switching the switch. Thus, the battery health status of the external backup battery can be conveniently detected.
[0073] It should be noted that, Figure 3 In the illustrated scheme, the battery detection component and the switch are integrated into the power control module. In other embodiments, the battery detection component may also be integrated into other modules besides the power control module, and the switch may also be located outside the power control module; this embodiment of the present invention does not impose any limitations on this. It is readily understood that the battery interface 18 and the related features of the second backup battery module described in this embodiment can also be combined with the technical solution described in Embodiment 1.
