Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet fiber optic medical technology, and more specifically, to a desktop thulium laser therapy machine. Background Technology

[0002] Thulium laser therapy equipment is a treatment device used to treat dermatological and surgical diseases. It typically delivers the thulium laser to the skin surface via optical fiber for treatment. It has high power, high cooling requirements, and requires real-time monitoring of the treatment effect during the process.

[0003] When applied to the field of surgery, thulium laser therapy machines have demonstrated several significant technical advantages, which are also applicable to veterinary medicine. These advantages include: ① rapid and precise tissue cutting ② excellent hemostasis ③ shallow thermal damage ④ both continuous and pulsed wave options ⑤ good safety.

[0004] However, existing traditional thulium laser therapy machines have the following drawbacks:

[0005] 1) They are usually large in size and heavy in weight, which affects their portability and convenience, and makes them inflexible in terms of movement and deployment.

[0006] 2) Due to their high power and complex internal structure, traditional laser therapy machines may require special power supplies or more stable power supplies.

[0007] 3) High-power lasers generate a lot of heat when they are working. Traditional equipment may rely on large cooling systems, which not only increase the size and weight of the equipment, but may also cause noise problems and increase maintenance costs.

[0008] No effective solution has yet been proposed to address the above issues. Utility Model Content

[0009] The main objective of this invention is to provide a desktop thulium laser therapy machine to solve the problem that traditional thulium laser therapy machines in the prior art are too large, resulting in excessive space occupation and inconvenience in movement.

[0011] Furthermore, the housing includes a first housing having an inner cavity, in which a partition is disposed, dividing the inner cavity into an electrical cavity and a laser cavity along a first direction.

[0012] Furthermore, the electrical cavity has openings at both ends along the second direction to form a through structure extending along the second direction, and / or the laser cavity has openings at both ends along the second direction to form a through structure extending along the second direction.

[0013] Furthermore, an air inlet is formed at the first end of the electrical cavity along the second direction, and an air outlet is formed at the second end of the electrical cavity along the second direction.

[0014] Furthermore, the partition extends along the second direction, and the length of the partition along the second direction is less than the length of the inner cavity along the second direction, so that the partition only divides a portion of the inner cavity into an electrical cavity and a laser cavity, while the other portion of the inner cavity forms a wire passage.

[0015] Furthermore, the coupling module is connected to the laser generator via a connecting wire bundle located within the wire passage.

[0016] Furthermore, the first direction is the height direction of the first housing, and / or the second direction is the length direction of the first housing.

[0018] Furthermore, the desktop thulium laser therapy machine also includes a control circuit board, which is located inside the electrical cavity and is electrically connected to the laser generator.

[0019] Furthermore, at least one of the first housing and the second housing is provided with a touch display screen.

[0020] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, the laser generator is directly connected to the treatment fiber using a coupling module, eliminating the need for complex optical adjustment components. Furthermore, integrating the laser generator and coupling module into the housing optimizes the device structure and significantly reduces its size. By placing the laser generator and coupling module separately within the laser cavity and electrical cavity, respectively, the laser generation and electrical control components are effectively isolated, improving the safety and stability of the device.

It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application is thorough and complete, and that the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0042] Combination Figure 1 As shown in the specific embodiment of this application, a desktop thulium laser therapy machine is provided.

[0043] The desktop thulium laser therapy device includes a housing, a laser generator 3, and a coupling module 4. The housing has an electrical cavity 1 and a laser cavity 2; the laser generator 3 is located inside the laser cavity 2; the coupling module 4 is located inside the electrical cavity 1, and the coupling module 4 has a first port connected to the laser generator 3 and a second port connected to the treatment optical fiber, so that the coupling module 4 transmits the laser generated by the laser generator 3 to the treatment optical fiber.

[0044] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, the laser generator 3 is directly connected to the treatment fiber using the coupling module 4, eliminating the need for complex optical adjustment components. Furthermore, integrating the laser generator 3 and the coupling module 4 into the housing optimizes the device structure and significantly reduces its size. By placing the laser generator 3 and the coupling module 4 respectively within the laser cavity 2 and the electrical cavity 1, the laser generation and electrical control components are effectively isolated, improving the safety and stability of the device. This application solves the problem of excessively large size in existing traditional thulium laser therapy machines, resulting in excessive space occupation and inconvenience in movement.

[0045] Specifically, the housing includes a first housing 5, which has an inner cavity and a partition 6 is disposed in the inner cavity. The partition 6 divides the inner cavity into an electrical cavity 1 and a laser cavity 2 along a first direction.

[0046] Electrical cavity 1 and laser cavity 2 respectively house the coupling module 4 and optical components such as the laser generator. Separating them by partition 6 avoids electromagnetic interference from the coupling module 4 from affecting the laser's performance, and also prevents high-energy laser light from the laser generator from damaging the coupling module 4, thus improving the overall safety and stability of the equipment.

[0047] Optionally, in this embodiment, the laser generator can be a 1940 nm thulium laser. A thulium laser is a solid-state laser, and its working material is a thulium-doped crystal or glass. The working principle of a thulium laser is based on energy level transitions in the laser gain medium (thulium-doped crystal or glass). When the laser is excited by an external power source, energy is input into the laser medium doped with thulium ions. After absorbing energy, the thulium ions transition from the ground state to the excited state. In the excited state, the thulium ions undergo a non-radiative transition process, further increasing their energy to a higher energy state, and then radiatively transitioning back to a lower energy state, releasing laser light with a wavelength of 1940 nm. This process is amplified and reflected within the laser resonant cavity, ultimately producing the desired laser output.

[0048] To ensure the stability and efficiency of laser generation, semiconductor lasers can also be selected as the laser source. Semiconductor lasers use semiconductor materials (such as gallium arsenide and indium phosphide) as their working medium. Through current injection, electrons and holes recombine at the PN junction, generating photons and forming the laser output. With the same power input, semiconductor lasers can produce a stronger laser output while reducing the energy consumption and heat generation of the device, which is beneficial for miniaturization and energy-saving design. Semiconductor lasers are very small and can be easily integrated into various small devices, such as handheld devices and desktop devices. The output of a semiconductor laser can be easily modulated by current or temperature, meaning that the laser power and wavelength can be adjusted by changing the current or temperature to suit different surgical needs.

[0049] Different types of laser generators can be selected according to the actual situation.

[0050] The main function of coupling module 4 is to efficiently transmit the laser energy generated by laser generator 3 into the treatment fiber for precise guidance and application during surgery. Coupling module 4 typically includes a lens system and a coupling fiber. Its working principle is as follows: The lens system focuses the laser beam output from the laser generator onto the core of the coupling fiber. The diameter of the laser beam is reduced by the focusing lens to ensure that the laser beam can completely enter the treatment fiber and minimize energy loss. The coupled laser beam is then transmitted to the surgical area through the treatment fiber. The selection of core material and structural design of the treatment fiber ensures efficient laser energy transmission, while the external cladding material prevents laser leakage and ensures safety during transmission. At the end of the treatment fiber, the laser beam is refocused or expanded to form a spot suitable for surgical manipulation. The optical design at the end can be adjusted according to different surgical needs to achieve optimal treatment results, such as cutting, vaporizing, or coagulating tissue.

[0051] Specifically, the electrical cavity 1 has openings at both ends along the second direction, so that the electrical cavity 1 forms a through structure extending along the second direction, and / or the laser cavity 2 has openings at both ends along the second direction, so that the laser cavity 2 forms a through structure extending along the second direction.

[0052] The laser generator 3 generates a large amount of heat during operation. The openings at both ends of the laser cavity 2 facilitate airflow and improve heat dissipation. The through-type structure of the laser cavity 2 allows the optical fiber to pass straight between the laser generator and the output end, reducing fiber bending and thus reducing laser energy loss during transmission.

[0053] The through-hole structure of electrical cavity 1 can improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the equipment. The electrical components inside the electrical cavity generate heat when they are working. The open design facilitates air circulation and improves the natural cooling effect. If necessary, a fan or heat sink can be used to ensure that the electrical components operate at a suitable temperature and avoid performance degradation or damage caused by overheating.

[0054] The electrical cavity 1 and / or laser cavity 2 have openings at both ends, forming a through structure along the second direction to facilitate equipment maintenance and repair. The opening design allows for easier access to internal components without requiring complete disassembly of the equipment, simplifying the maintenance process and reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0055] Specifically, an air inlet is formed at the first end of electrical cavity 1 along the second direction, and an air outlet is formed at the second end of electrical cavity 1 along the second direction. The arrangement of the air inlet and outlet creates good air convection, further improving heat dissipation efficiency and ensuring the stable operation of electrical components. This convection heat dissipation design is particularly suitable for high-power laser treatment scenarios, because in these scenarios, the equipment needs to output high-power lasers for extended periods, easily generating a large amount of heat. A good heat dissipation design can ensure the normal operation of the equipment under high load, avoiding treatment interruptions or equipment damage due to overheating.

[0056] Specifically, the partition 6 extends along the second direction, and the length of the partition 6 along the second direction is less than the length of the inner cavity along the second direction, so that the partition 6 divides only part of the inner cavity into the electrical cavity 1 and the laser cavity 2, while the other part of the inner cavity forms a wire passage.

[0057] By incorporating a dedicated cable routing channel within the internal cavity, the optimized design of this channel effectively reduces the impact of cable bundles on the laser transmission path, avoids potential signal interference, and improves the efficiency and quality of laser transmission. The cable routing channel is primarily used to safely and orderly guide electrical wires, optical fibers, signal cables, and other cables through the equipment's casing or cavity, connecting internal components to power switches, USB interfaces, power connectors, emergency stop switches, and other parts. This orderly guidance and securing of cables through the cable routing channel prevents cables from becoming tangled and messy inside the equipment, improving internal cleanliness and facilitating maintenance and troubleshooting.

[0058] Specifically, the coupling module 4 is connected to the laser generator 3 via a connecting wire bundle, which is located within the wire passage. Placing the connecting wire bundle within the wire passage not only protects it from damage by the external environment, such as high temperature, humidity, or impact, but also ensures the stability of the electrical connection and the continuity of laser transmission.

[0059] Specifically, the first direction is the height direction of the first housing 5, and / or the second direction is the length direction of the first housing 5. The setting of the first and second directions facilitates a compact design and efficient heat dissipation of the device, enabling it to maintain high performance while being smaller in size, allowing for a more compact arrangement of components within the housing, and improving space utilization.

[0060] Specifically, the housing includes a second housing 7, the first housing 5 and the second housing 7 are connected, the second housing 7 is located outside the first housing 5, the part of the second housing 7 corresponding to the air inlet is provided with a first ventilation grille, and the part of the second housing 7 corresponding to the air outlet is provided with a second ventilation grille.

[0061] Optionally, the first housing 5 and the second housing 7 are connected together by screws, clips, or other mechanical fasteners. The second housing 7 is typically designed to be removable for easy maintenance and replacement of internal components. On the second housing 7, a first ventilation grille is provided at the portion corresponding to the air inlet, and a second ventilation grille is provided at the portion corresponding to the air outlet. These grilles are typically made of metal or plastic and have multiple small holes or slits to allow airflow while preventing larger dust particles and external objects from entering the equipment, thus protecting the internal components.

[0062] The first ventilation grille is typically located on the side or bottom of the second housing 7, near the air inlet of the thulium laser treatment machine, and is used to guide external air into the interior of the thulium laser treatment machine to provide a cold air source for the cooling system. The second ventilation grille is typically located on the back or top of the thulium laser treatment machine, near the air outlet, and is used to exhaust internal hot air, forming an effective airflow path to help dissipate heat from the internal components of the equipment.

[0063] By using ventilation grilles instead of completely open openings, operators can be prevented from accidentally coming into contact with high-temperature or live components inside, reducing safety risks. The grille structure can also reduce noise from the cooling system during operation, improving the quietness of the equipment and providing a more comfortable environment for pets and operators.

[0064] It should be further noted that this desktop thulium laser therapy machine is a small device and can be cooled by simple air. However, in order to ensure the stability of the device during long-term use, a water cooling system can be used depending on the specific usage.

[0065] It should be further noted that the desktop thulium laser therapy machine also includes: a power switch 10, a power connector 12, a USB port 11, an emergency stop switch 14, and an indicator light 13. All of the above components are mounted on the first housing.

[0066] Specifically, the desktop thulium laser therapy machine also includes: a control circuit board 8, which is located inside the electrical cavity 1 and is electrically connected to the laser generator 3.

[0067] The electrical connection between the control circuit board 8 and the laser generator 3 allows the laser generator's status information (such as temperature, current, voltage, laser output power, pulse width, and frequency) to be fed back to the control circuit board 8. This information is used to monitor the laser generator's operation in real time, ensuring that the laser output is within a safe range, and to make timely adjustments or issue warnings to prevent overheating or damage.

[0068] Specifically, at least one of the first housing 5 and the second housing 7 is equipped with a touch screen display 9. The touch screen display 9 serves as a human-machine interface, allowing the operator to easily set various parameters of laser treatment, such as laser wavelength, power, pulse frequency, and operating mode (continuous or pulsed), without the need for traditional physical buttons or knobs, making equipment operation more modern and simple. The touch screen display 9 may also integrate an emergency stop function; if an abnormality is detected or treatment needs to be stopped immediately, the operator can respond quickly via the touch screen.

[0069] The touchscreen display 9 requires power to operate, therefore it connects to the device's power module via a power interface and is electrically connected to the control circuit board 8. The touchscreen display 9 is typically embedded in the front surface of the first housing 5 or the second housing 7 and secured with fasteners (such as screws, clips, or adhesives) to ensure it does not loosen or shift during device operation. The data and power cables connecting the touchscreen display 9 are usually routed systematically through cable management channels.

[0079] (9) Emergency handling / misoperation or violation of regulations:

[0080] If any misoperation or violation occurs during treatment, the emergency stop button at the front can be used for emergency stopping.

[0081] (10) Emergency stop status: After an emergency stop, the indicator light will turn red.

[0082] (11) Troubleshooting and restoring operation: After troubleshooting the improper operation, pull up the emergency stop button. The equipment can continue to operate by using the touch screen again.

[0083] The following precautions must be observed when using this desktop thulium laser therapy machine:

[0085] (2) Regularly check the connection status of the equipment and optical fiber to ensure that the equipment is operating normally.

[0088] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0089] The compact design integrates the laser generator 3 and coupling module 4 into the housing, significantly improving the device's portability and flexibility, making it ideal for use in pet hospitals or clinics with limited space. Placing the laser generator and coupling module separately within the laser cavity and electrical cavity effectively isolates the laser generation and electrical control components, enhancing the device's safety and stability. The through-type structure of the electrical and laser cavities facilitates heat dissipation within the device, extending its lifespan. The wiring channel design allows for a more rational layout of the connecting wires, reducing signal interference and improving the efficiency and quality of laser transmission. The addition of a touchscreen display provides an intuitive user interface, making the device more convenient to use.
