[0045] The radio frequency beauty device mainly refers to using specific frequency radio frequency current (usually above 200 kHz) or electric field (usually 13.56 or 40.68 MHz) to act on human tissue to produce heat effect, so as to promote the recombination and regeneration of human collagen, so as to achieve the effect of treating skin relaxation, reducing skin wrinkles, shrinking pores, tightening / lifting skin tissue, or treating acne, scar, or reducing fat (fat softening or decomposition) and the like.
[0046] The existing radio frequency therapeutic instrument generally adopts the method of sticking the radio frequency electrode close to the skin or deep into the skin for treatment. During the radio frequency treatment process, if the contact between the skin and the radio frequency electrode is unreliable, a high open circuit radio frequency voltage will be generated, which is reflected to the radio frequency power amplifier, and is easy to cause damage to the components of the radio frequency therapeutic instrument. At the same time, because there is a high open circuit radio frequency voltage, if the radio frequency electrode contacts the patient's skin or tissue at this time, it will cause a shock to the patient, affecting the user experience.
[0047] The utility model provides a kind of open circuit protection circuit, by increasing a radio frequency electrode open circuit protection circuit in radio frequency therapeutic instrument, solve the problem of radio frequency therapeutic instrument component damage caused by radio frequency electrode open circuit, while can reduce the electric shock feeling of radio frequency open circuit voltage to patient, to improve user experience.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The module diagram of the first embodiment of the open circuit protection circuit provided by the utility model embodiment.
[0049] The open circuit protection circuit includes: detection circuit 100, comparison circuit 200 and signal output circuit 300, the detection circuit is connected with radio frequency electrode 500 and the comparison circuit respectively, the comparison circuit is connected with the detection circuit and the signal output circuit respectively, and the signal output circuit is connected with the radio frequency electrode and the main controller 400 respectively;The detection circuit 100 is used for detecting the radio frequency voltage and radio frequency current of the radio frequency electrode, and transmits the radio frequency voltage and the radio frequency current to the comparison circuit;Comparison circuit 200 is used for receiving the radio frequency voltage and the radio frequency current, and when the radio frequency voltage is higher than threshold voltage or the radio frequency current is lower than threshold current, cutoff signal is generated and sent to the signal output circuit;Signal output circuit 300 is used for cutting off the transmission of radio frequency fundamental wave signal between main controller and the radio frequency electrode when receiving the cutoff signal.
[0050] It should be noted that the detection circuit 200 can continuously collect the voltage and current values of the radio frequency electrode 500 in real time, and send the collected radio frequency voltage and radio frequency current values to the comparison circuit 200 and threshold voltage and threshold current comparison, when the collected radio frequency voltage is higher than threshold voltage or radio frequency current is lower than threshold current, comparator circuit triggers signal output circuit to quickly close the output of radio frequency fundamental wave signal, so as to cut off the transmission of radio frequency fundamental wave signal between main controller and the radio frequency electrode, to achieve the purpose of open circuit protection.
[0051] Optionally, the frequency range of radio frequency therapeutic instrument covered by protection circuit is 200KHz-30MHz.
[0052] The main controller is used for generating radio frequency fundamental wave signal, and transmitting the radio frequency fundamental wave signal to the fundamental wave controller;The main controller is also used for setting the threshold voltage and the threshold current, and transmitting the threshold voltage and the threshold current to the comparison circuit.
[0053] It should be noted that the main controller 400 is responsible for the generation of the radio frequency fundamental signal and the setting of the threshold voltage and threshold current of the open circuit protection circuit. When the main controller starts, the output radio frequency power signal is output to the signal output circuit 300, and the threshold voltage and threshold current are set to the comparison circuit 200.
[0054] It can be understood that the main controller is connected to the comparison circuit, and when the radio frequency voltage is higher than the threshold voltage or the radio frequency current is lower than the threshold current, the comparison circuit sends a stop signal to the main controller. The main controller receives the stop signal and collects that the radio frequency electrode stops working. The main controller controls the radio frequency therapeutic instrument to flash red light, prompting the user that the radio frequency electrode stops working. The user presses the reset button, and the main controller sends a reset signal to the comparison circuit. Or the main controller receives the stop signal and collects that the radio frequency electrode stops working. The main controller sends a reset signal to the comparison circuit when the current of the collection circuit is normal.
[0055] Optionally, the main controller circuit includes but is not limited to: single-chip microcomputer MCU, programmable logic device CPLD, FPGA.
[0056] Specifically, the radio frequency fundamental signal can be generated by a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal set by the main controller, or by an independent oscillator or a DDS frequency synthesizer.
[0057] As shown in Figure 2 The detection circuit includes 100: voltage detection circuit 101 and current detection circuit 102, wherein the voltage detection circuit is connected with the radio frequency electrode and the comparison circuit respectively; the current detection circuit is connected with the radio frequency electrode and the comparison circuit respectively; the voltage detection circuit 101 is used for detecting the radio frequency voltage of the radio frequency electrode and transmitting the radio frequency voltage to the comparison circuit; the current detection circuit 102 is used for detecting the radio frequency current of the radio frequency electrode and transmitting the radio frequency current to the comparison circuit.
[0058] It should be noted that the voltage detection circuit 101 is responsible for real-time collection of the radio frequency peak voltage output to the radio frequency electrode and transmission of the collected radio frequency voltage to the comparison circuit 200. The current detection circuit 101 is responsible for real-time collection of the peak current output to the radio frequency electrode and transmission of the collected radio frequency current to the comparison circuit 200.
[0059] Optionally, the voltage detection circuit and the current detection circuit can be composed of an acquisition circuit composed of resistance and capacitance and a transformer and a peak detection circuit composed of an operational amplifier or a special chip.
[0060] Specifically, the voltage detection circuit and the current detection circuit can be composed of an acquisition circuit and a peak detection circuit.
[0061] The comparison circuit includes 200: a current comparison circuit 202 and a voltage comparison circuit 201. The current comparison circuit is connected to the current detection circuit, the main controller, and the signal output circuit, respectively. The voltage comparison circuit is connected to the voltage detection circuit, the main controller, and the signal output circuit, respectively. The current comparison circuit 202 is used to receive the radio frequency voltage and compare it with the threshold current to determine the difference. The voltage comparison circuit 201 is used to receive the radio frequency voltage and compare it with the threshold voltage to determine the difference. When the radio frequency voltage is higher than the threshold voltage or the radio frequency current is lower than the threshold current, it is determined that there is poor contact or disconnection between the radio frequency electrode and the skin load, resulting in an open circuit between the radio frequency electrode and the skin load. At this time, a radio frequency voltage exceeding the set threshold voltage is generated at both ends of the load in the radio frequency energy output circuit, or the radio frequency current flowing through the load is less than the set threshold. Then, the current comparison circuit 202 or the voltage comparison circuit 201 generates and sends a cutoff signal to the signal output circuit. When the signal output circuit 300 receives the cutoff signal, it cuts off the transmission of the radio frequency fundamental signal between the main controller and the radio frequency electrode.
[0062] It should be noted that the current comparison circuit 202 and the voltage comparison circuit 201 are mainly responsible for comparing the acquired radio frequency voltage and radio frequency current with the set threshold voltage and threshold current, and controlling the radio frequency fundamental wave controller to quickly turn off or start the output of the radio frequency signal.
[0063] Specifically, the voltage comparison circuit 201 is connected to the voltage detection circuit 101. When the detected voltage of the RF electrode 500 detected by the voltage detection circuit is greater than the threshold voltage set by the main controller 400, the voltage comparison circuit continuously sends a cutoff signal to the RF fundamental wave controller 301 and feeds the cutoff signal back to the main controller until the main controller sends a reset signal to the voltage comparison circuit. At this point, the voltage comparison circuit stops generating and sends a cutoff signal to the RF fundamental wave controller 301. The current comparison circuit 202 is connected to the current detection circuit 102. When the detected current of the RF electrode 500 detected by the current detection circuit is greater than the threshold current set by the main controller 400, the current comparison circuit continuously sends a cutoff signal to the RF fundamental wave controller 301 and feeds the cutoff signal back to the main controller until the main controller sends a reset signal to the current comparison circuit. At this point, the current comparison circuit stops generating and sends a cutoff signal to the RF fundamental wave controller 301.
[0064] Optionally, the voltage comparison circuit 201 and the current comparison circuit 202 may include, but are not limited to, high-speed comparator circuits, programmable logic devices (CPLDs), and FPGAs.
[0065] It should be understood that the comparison circuit is a high-speed comparator circuit and is designed with a lockout design. When the radio frequency voltage is higher than the threshold voltage or the radio frequency current is lower than the threshold current, the comparison circuit continuously sends a cutoff signal to the radio frequency fundamental wave controller 301, which can continuously disconnect the radio frequency output of the radio frequency fundamental wave controller 301 until a reset signal is received from the main controller, the output cutoff signal, and the radio frequency fundamental wave controller 301 re-outputs the radio frequency signal. The comparison circuit can output a cutoff signal to the main controller, so that the main controller can collect the current state of the radio frequency electrode.
[0066] The signal output circuit 300 includes a fundamental wave controller 301 and a radio frequency power amplifier 302; the fundamental wave controller is connected to the main controller and the radio frequency power amplifier, respectively; the radio frequency power amplifier is connected to the fundamental wave controller and the radio frequency electrode, respectively; the fundamental wave controller 301 is used to cut off the transmission of the radio frequency fundamental wave signal between the main controller and the radio frequency power amplifier when the cutoff signal is received; and is also used to turn on the transmission of the radio frequency fundamental wave signal between the main controller and the radio frequency power amplifier when the cutoff signal is not received; the radio frequency power amplifier 302 is used to amplify the radio frequency fundamental wave signal when the radio frequency fundamental wave signal is received, and transmit the amplified radio frequency fundamental wave signal to the radio frequency electrode.
[0067] It should be noted that the radio frequency fundamental wave controller 301 is responsible for the driving and output enable control of the radio frequency fundamental wave signal, and the radio frequency power amplifier 302 circuit is responsible for amplifying the radio frequency fundamental wave signal and driving the radio frequency electrode to act on the human tissue.
[0068] Specifically, the fundamental wave controller can be an analog switch or a driver with output enable.
[0069] It should be noted that the open circuit protection circuit is realized by pure hardware circuit, which directly controls or turns off the input signal of the radio frequency power amplifier, and the open circuit protection control time is very short, which can reach single cycle nanosecond level. The protection effect is much higher than that of the traditional controller or the protection circuit started by the single-chip microcomputer.
[0070] In the embodiment, when the circuit is started and the radio frequency power signal is output by the main controller 400, the voltage detection circuit and the current detection circuit continuously collect the radio frequency voltage and the radio frequency current between the radio frequency electrodes in real time, and send the collected radio frequency current of the radio frequency electrode to the current comparison circuit and the threshold current comparison, and send the collected radio frequency voltage of the radio frequency electrode to the voltage comparison circuit and the threshold voltage comparison, the threshold current of the current comparison circuit and the threshold voltage of the voltage comparison circuit can be preset through the DAC port of the main controller respectively; when the collected radio frequency voltage is higher than the threshold voltage or the radio frequency current is lower than the threshold current, the comparison circuit sends a cutoff signal to the radio frequency fundamental wave controller 301, and the radio frequency fundamental wave controller circuit quickly closes the output of the radio frequency fundamental wave signal, so that the radio frequency power amplifier 302 stops outputting, achieving the purpose of open circuit protection.
[0071] Figure 3 It is the circuit diagram of the second embodiment of the open circuit protection circuit provided in the embodiment of the utility model.
[0072] The voltage comparison circuit comprises a first operational amplifier A1, a first MOS tube Q1, a second MOS tube Q2, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, a fifth resistor R5 and a sixth resistor R6; a positive input end of the first operational amplifier A1 is connected with the main controller 400 and one end of the first resistor R1 respectively; a negative input end of the first operational amplifier is connected with one end of the second resistor R2, one end of the third resistor R3, one end of the fourth resistor R4 and a drain of the first MOS tube Q1 respectively; the other end of the second resistor R2 is connected with the voltage detection circuit; a gate of the first MOS tube Q1 is connected with one end of the fifth resistor R5 and the main controller; the other end of the first resistor R1, the other end of the third resistor R3, the other end of the fifth resistor R5, a source of the first MOS tube and a power negative input end of the first operational amplifier are grounded; a power positive input end of the first operational amplifier is connected with a first power supply VCC1 respectively; the first power supply is connected with one end R6 of the sixth resistor R6 and a source of the second MOS tube Q2; an output end of the first operational amplifier is connected with the other end of the sixth resistor R6, a gate of the second MOS tube Q2 and the signal output circuit respectively; and a drain of the second MOS tube Q2 is connected with the other end of the fourth resistor R4.

[0074] It should be understood that when the radio frequency electrode is opened, the output end of the first operation amplifier A1 becomes low level, further triggering the second MOS tube Q2 to conduct, transmitting the high voltage to the negative input end of the first operation amplifier A1 through R4, forming positive feedback to further increase the voltage at the negative input end of the first operation amplifier A1, and locking the state of the output end of the comparator first operation amplifier A1 as low level.
[0075] Specifically, the second MOS tube Q2 is PNOS, and the first MOS tube Q1 is NMOS.
[0076] The current comparison circuit comprises a second operation amplifier A2, a third MOS tube Q3, a fourth MOS tube Q4, a seventh resistor R7, an eighth resistor R8, a ninth resistor R9, a tenth resistor R10, an eleventh resistor R11 and a twelfth resistor R12; the positive input end of the second operation amplifier A2 is connected with one end of the current detection circuit and the seventh resistor, the negative input end of the second operation amplifier A2 is connected with one end of the eighth resistor, one end of the ninth resistor, one end of the tenth resistor and the drain of the third MOS tube, the other end of the eighth resistor is connected with the main controller, the gate of the third MOS tube Q3 is connected with one end R11 of the eleventh resistor and the main controller respectively, the source of the third MOS tube Q3, the other end of the seventh resistor, the other end of the ninth resistor R9 and the other end of the eleventh resistor are grounded, the output end of the third operation amplifier is connected with one end R12 of the twelfth resistor, the gate of the fourth MOS tube Q4 and the signal output circuit, the other end of the twelfth resistor is connected with the first power supply and the source of the fourth MOS tube, and the drain of the fourth MOS tube Q4 is connected with the other end of the tenth resistor.
[0077] It should be noted that the current comparison circuit 202 connected to the positive input of the second operational amplifier A2 is a current detection circuit, which receives the radio frequency current of the radio frequency electrode, and the threshold current set by the main controller is connected to the positive input of the second operational amplifier A2; in the normal working state, the voltage of the radio frequency current of the current detection circuit is greater than the voltage of the threshold current, the second operational amplifier A2 outputs high level, and the output end of the second comparison operational amplifier outputs high level; when the radio frequency electrode is open, the voltage of the current detection circuit will decrease, and when the voltage of the current detection circuit (the positive input of the second operational amplifier A2) is less than the voltage of the threshold current output by the main controller (the input end of the second operational amplifier A2), the output end of the second operational amplifier A2 becomes low level, the current comparison circuit 201 outputs low level to the fundamental wave controller, and the low level is the cutoff signal.
[0078] It should be understood that when the radio frequency electrode is open, the output end of the second operational amplifier A2 becomes low level, further triggering the fourth MOS tube Q4 to conduct, transmitting high voltage to the negative input end of the second operational amplifier A2 through R10, forming positive feedback to further increase the voltage of the negative input end of the second operational amplifier A2, and locking the state of the output of the second operational amplifier A2 as low level.
[0079] Specifically, when the radio frequency electrode is open, the current detected by the current detection circuit decreases, the voltage of the positive input end of the second operational amplifier is the voltage of the seventh resistor R7, and according to U=IR, the voltage of the positive input end of the second operational amplifier also decreases. The threshold current output by the main controller generates the voltage of the threshold current output by the main controller through R9.
