Abstract

This application discloses a therapeutic device using consumables, relating to the field of medical device technology. The therapeutic device includes a controller and a real-time clock module. The controller is connected to both the real-time clock module and the consumables. The controller uses the real-time clock module to obtain a reference time generated during its initialization and the target usage duration corresponding to the current consumables to determine the actual end-of-life time of the consumables. Simultaneously, the controller also uses the real-time clock module to obtain the target time currently in use of the consumables. Subsequently, the controller can output a warning signal when the target time reaches the end-of-life time to more accurately indicate that the consumables have reached the end of their lifespan. This design avoids misjudgments of consumable lifespan caused by time deviations before and after real-time clock module calibration, effectively improving the prediction accuracy of consumable lifespan.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and more particularly to a therapeutic device that uses consumables. Background Technology

[0002] Therapeutic devices are typically used in conjunction with consumables to achieve specific therapeutic effects. These consumables have a limited lifespan. To ensure the therapeutic effect is not compromised, a real-time clock module is usually installed in the device to track the usage time of the consumables and automatically remind the user when the consumables have reached the end of their lifespan.

[0003] However, when the therapeutic device is powered on, the real-time clock module initializes and calibrates its recorded time. During this process, the time obtained by the therapeutic device from the real-time clock module deviates from the actual time. This deviation causes a jump in time before and after calibration, resulting in inaccurate recording of the consumable's usage time. Consequently, the therapeutic device may determine that the consumable has reached its actual lifespan too early or too late. Utility Model Content

[0051] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0052] 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.

[0053] 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.

[0054] This application provides a treatment device using consumables, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first embodiment of the therapeutic device using consumables according to this application.

[0055] In this embodiment, the treatment device includes: a controller 10 and a real-time clock module 20;

[0056] The controller 10 is connected to the real-time clock module 20 and the consumables.

[0057] It should be noted that the above consumables can be devices or equipment with a limited lifespan, such as the treatment head of medical devices (i.e., treatment instruments) and radiofrequency masks.

[0058] The real-time clock module 20 is used to generate a reference time during initialization and feed the reference time back to the controller 10.

[0059] Understandably, the aforementioned real-time clock module 20 can be a module that generates time information and provides timing functionality for the therapeutic device.

[0060] In its implementation, the real-time clock module 20 includes at least a clock source, an oscillation circuit, a distributor, a counter, a register, and an interface circuit. The clock source can be a high-precision crystal oscillator (such as a 32.768kHz quartz crystal). When a voltage is applied to the clock source, it generates a piezoelectric effect, producing a stable oscillation signal. The oscillation signal is converted into a clock signal by the oscillation circuit, and the clock signal is divided by a frequency divider to generate a slower clock signal. The counter counts the divided clock signal to generate count values ​​in time units such as seconds, minutes, and hours, and stores these count values ​​in the register. The real-time clock module can be connected to the controller 10 via the interface circuit; that is, the controller 10 can communicate with the real-time clock module 20 through this interface circuit to obtain the count values ​​stored in the register by the real-time clock module 20. The count value generated by the real-time clock module 20 during initialization can be used as the reference time corresponding to the consumable, and the latest count value generated by the real-time clock module 20 after initialization can be used as the target time corresponding to the consumable. For example, the initialization of the real-time clock module 20 can be when the therapeutic device is powered on, i.e., when the real-time clock module 20 is powered on.

[0061] The controller 10 is used to determine the end time of use of the consumable based on the reference time and the target usage time of the consumable.

[0062] It should be noted that the above-mentioned end-of-use time is the time when the consumable reaches its service life, which can be preset and saved to the local device.

[0063] Understandably, the controller 10 can determine the theoretical end time of use corresponding to the consumable reaching its service life by obtaining the reference time corresponding to the current consumable provided by the real-time clock module 20 and the current target usage time of the consumable.

[0064] The controller 10 is also used to output a warning signal when the target time reaches the corresponding end-of-use time of the consumable.

[0065] The controller 10 is also used to obtain the current target time of the consumable through the real-time clock module 20, and output a warning signal when the target time reaches the end of use time.

[0066] Understandably, the aforementioned warning signals can be used to indicate that consumables have reached the end of their service life, and can be used to generate corresponding physical signals (such as sound, light, etc.) to alert the user.

[0067] For example, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of time jump in the first embodiment of this application. Figure 2In this system, the real-time timeline records the continuous changes in time recorded by an external time source (such as a network time protocol server). The RTC timeline records the continuous changes in time recorded by the real-time clock module 20. Assume the real-time time, i.e., the device power-on time, is 2025.03.01 13:00:00 on the real-time timeline; and the RTC time, i.e., the device power-on time, is 2025.03.01 10:00:00 on the RTC timeline. The time generated by the real-time clock module 20 differs from the time generated by the external time source by 3 hours, indicating an error in the real-time clock module 20. Assume the consumables are activated 5 minutes after the treatment device is powered on, and the RTC time recorded on the RTC timeline is 2025.03.01 10:05:00. Ten minutes after power-on and connection to the network, the real-time clock module is calibrated. After calibration, the RTC time equals the real-time time. That is, the calibration point on both the real-time and RTC time axes is 2025.03.01 13:10:00. Five minutes after the calibration point, the consumable time is identified. The system records the consumable activation time as 2025.03.01 10:05:00, and the current RTC time is 2025.03.01 13:15:00. The identification result is that the consumable has been used for 3 hours and 10 minutes, while the actual usage time is only 10 minutes. This causes a jump in the recorded consumable usage time before and after calibration, making it impossible to accurately predict the consumable's lifespan.

[0068] In its implementation, to address the aforementioned issues, the controller 10 reads the locally stored end-of-use time of the consumables and compares it with the target time generated by the real-time clock module 20. When the target time reaches the corresponding end-of-use time of the consumables, the controller determines that the consumables have reached their service life and outputs a warning signal. Throughout this process, the controller does not use calibrated time to predict the consumables' service life; instead, it always predicts the consumables' service life on the RTC time axis, ensuring the accuracy of the consumables' usage time and thus effectively improving the prediction accuracy of the consumables' service life.

[0069] In addition, the lifespan of other consumables used in the treatment device can be predicted in the same way as described above, and will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0070] The therapeutic device using consumables in this embodiment includes a controller, a real-time clock module, and consumables. The controller is connected to both the real-time clock module and the consumables. The controller uses the real-time clock module to obtain the reference time generated during initialization and the target usage duration corresponding to the current consumables to determine the actual end-of-life time of the consumables. Simultaneously, the controller also obtains the target time currently in use by the consumables through the real-time clock module. Subsequently, the controller can output a warning signal when the target time reaches the end-of-life time to more accurately indicate that the consumables have reached the end of their lifespan. This design avoids misjudgments of consumable lifespan caused by time deviations before and after real-time clock module calibration, effectively improving the prediction accuracy of consumable lifespan.

[0071] Based on the first embodiment of this application, a second embodiment of this application is proposed. In the second embodiment, content that is the same as or similar to that in the first embodiment described above can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. Based on this, please refer to... Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second embodiment of the therapeutic device using consumables according to this application.

[0072] In this embodiment, the treatment device also includes a timing module 30.

[0073] The timing module 30 is connected to the real-time clock module 20 and the controller 10 respectively.

[0074] The timing module 30 is used to determine the actual usage time of the consumables and send the actual usage time to the controller 10.

[0075] It should be noted that the aforementioned timing module 30 can be a module that records relevant time information (such as time, duration, etc.), or it can be a timing module 30 integrated into the host CPU, used to start timing after the therapeutic device is powered on.

[0076] It should be noted that, in the specific implementation, the timing module 30 can communicate with the controller 10. When the consumable is successfully powered on, the time recorded by the timing module 30 is read. After the consumable is used, the time recorded by the timing module 30 is read again at the current time point, the time difference is calculated, the actual usage time of the consumable is obtained, and then the actual usage time is sent to the controller 10.

[0077] The controller 10 is also used to add the reference time to the actual usage time to obtain the target time at which the consumable is currently located.

[0078] In one feasible implementation, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is another structural diagram of the second embodiment of the present application. The timing module 30 includes a data acquisition unit 31 and a data processing unit 32.

[0079] The data acquisition unit 31 is connected to the data processing unit 32, and the data processing unit 32 is connected to the controller 10.

[0080] It should be noted that the data acquisition unit 31 mentioned above can be a unit for collecting data, such as time-related data.

[0081] It is understood that the aforementioned data processing unit 32 can be a unit that processes the received data.

[0082] Data acquisition unit 31 is used to collect the power-on time of consumables.

[0083] It should be noted that the aforementioned power-on time refers to the time when the consumable is inserted into the therapeutic device in preparation for power-on. In specific implementation, the data acquisition unit 31 acquires and records the power-on time runTime0 of the consumable when it is powered on.

[0084] The data acquisition unit 31 is also used to collect and record the current running time of the consumables.

[0085] It should be noted that the current running time mentioned above is runTimeX from the time the consumable is powered on to the current running time. For example, if the consumable is powered on at runTime0 10:05:00, then the current running timeX is 10:10:00.

[0086] The data acquisition unit 31 is also used to send the boot time runTime0 and the current running time runTimeX to the data processing unit 32.

[0087] In a specific implementation, the data acquisition unit 31 can communicate with the data processing unit 32 after obtaining the power-on time and current running time of the consumable, and send the power-on time and current running time of the consumable to the data processing unit 32.

[0088] The data processing unit 32 is used to calculate the difference between the current running time and the power-on time to obtain the actual usage time of the consumable, and send the actual usage time to the controller 10. For example, if the consumable is powered on at runTime0 10:05:00 and the current time runTimeX is 10:10:00, then the actual usage time of the consumable is 5 minutes.

[0089] The controller 10 is also used to add the reference time generated by the real-time clock module 20 during initialization to the actual usage time to obtain the target time at which the consumable is currently located.

[0090] It should be noted that the above reference time can be the time when the therapeutic device is powered on (DateTime0).

[0091] In its implementation, the controller 10 reads the time recorded by the real-time clock module 20 when the therapeutic device is powered on, and uses this time as a reference time. After obtaining the actual usage time of the consumables, the controller 10 adds the reference time to the actual usage time of the consumables to obtain the target time of the consumables. For example, if the therapeutic device is powered on at 10:00:00 on March 1, 2025, and the actual usage time of the consumables is 5 minutes, then the target time of the consumables is 10:05:00 on March 1, 2025.

[0092] In addition, for therapeutic devices, their actual usage time can be determined based on the above method, and then the actual usage time can be added to the reference time to obtain the target time at which the therapeutic device is currently located.

[0093] Furthermore, the following preset time formula can be configured in the controller 10 in advance:

[0094] DataTimeX=DateTime0+runTimeX-runTime0

[0095] In the formula, DataTimeX is the RTC time, DateTime0 is the base time, runTimeX is the current running time, and runTime0 is the base running time.

[0096] It should be noted that in the above formula, the RTC time can be the current time on the RTC axis, the reference time can be the time when the therapeutic device is powered on, the current running time can be the time taken for the therapeutic device or any consumable from power-on to the current time, and the reference running time can be the time when the therapeutic device or any consumable is powered on.

[0097] Understandably, when it is necessary to record the time information of the treatment device or consumables, the corresponding reference time, current running time and reference running time can be determined through the real-time clock module 20 to obtain the RTC time on the RTC axis. This avoids the interference of the jump caused by the RTC time calibration on the device time calculation, thereby ensuring the continuity and consistency of time during the start-up of the treatment device and ensuring that the treatment device operation can run based on a stable and accurate time reference.

[0098] In this embodiment, the timing module determines the actual usage time of the consumables through a real-time clock module and sends the actual usage time to the controller. The controller adds the reference time generated by the real-time clock module during initialization to the actual usage time, thereby accurately determining the current target time of the consumables and improving the prediction cycle of the consumables' lifespan. Furthermore, when determining the actual usage time, the data acquisition unit determines the power-on time of the consumables, and the timing module determines the current running time of the consumables. Both the power-on time and the current running time are sent to the data processing unit. The data processing unit calculates the difference between the current running time and the power-on time to obtain the actual usage time of the consumables and sends the actual usage time to the controller. This achieves accurate determination of the actual usage time of the consumables based on the power-on time and the current running time, further improving the accuracy of determining the current target time of the consumables and thus improving the prediction cycle of the consumables' lifespan.

[0099] Based on the first and second embodiments of this application, a third embodiment of this application is proposed. In this third embodiment, content that is the same as or similar to the first and second embodiments described above can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. Based on this, please refer to... Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the third embodiment of the therapeutic device using consumables according to this application.

[0100] In this embodiment, the treatment device also includes a memory 40.

[0101] The memory 40 is connected to the real-time clock module 20 and the controller 10, respectively.

[0102] The real-time clock module 20 is also used to generate a reference time during initialization and to feed the reference time back to the memory 40 for storage.

[0103] The controller 10 is also used to read the reference time from the memory 40.

[0104] In a specific implementation, the real-time clock module 20 can generate a corresponding count value as a reference time through a clock signal during the initialization of the therapeutic device, and feed the reference time back to the memory 40 for storage. After obtaining the actual usage time of the consumables, the controller 10 can read the reference time stored in the memory 40 by the real-time clock module 20, and then add the reference time to the actual usage time to obtain the target time of the consumables.

[0105] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the memory 40 stores the preset usage time corresponding to different consumables, as well as the preset mapping relationship between the type information of different consumables and their respective preset usage time.

[0106] It should be noted that the aforementioned preset usage time can be a duration pre-set based on the lifespan of the consumables, and its value can be equal to the lifespan of the consumables. The aforementioned type information can be used to distinguish different types of consumables. The type information of different consumables can be associated with the corresponding preset usage time to form the aforementioned preset mapping relationship. For example, for pressure-resistant devices, such as electrocardiographs, the associated preset usage time can be 10 years.

[0107] The treatment device also includes: identification module 50.

[0108] It is understandable that the aforementioned identification module 50 can be a functional module for identifying the type information of different consumables.

[0109] The identification module 50 is connected to the controller 10.

[0110] The identification module 50 is used to identify the type information of the current consumable and feed the type information of the current consumable back to the controller 10.

[0111] In a specific implementation, the type information of the consumables can be added to the label of the consumables in text form. The identification module 50 can extract the type information from the label using optical character recognition technology. For example, the identification module 50 can take an image of the label of the consumables by a camera device, and then use image processing algorithms and optical character recognition technology to identify the text information on the label to obtain the type information of the consumables, and feed the type information back to the controller 10.

[0112] The controller 10 is also used to read the preset mapping relationship in the memory 40, and based on the preset mapping relationship and the current consumable type information, determine the target usage time of the current consumable in each preset usage time.

[0113] It is easy to understand that a preset usage time can be configured for different consumables based on their lifespan, and the preset usage time can be saved to the memory 40.

[0114] In a specific implementation, the controller 10 can read the preset mapping relationship stored in the memory 40 after obtaining the target time of the consumable. At the same time, it can traverse the preset mapping relationship provided by the memory 40 according to the type information of the consumable to obtain the target usage time corresponding to the type information of the current consumable.

[0115] In this embodiment, the identification module identifies the type information of consumables and feeds this information back to the controller. The controller then determines the target usage duration of the consumables based on the type information within a preset mapping relationship. This embodiment effectively improves the accuracy of consumable type determination by using a preset mapping relationship between the type information of different consumables and their corresponding preset usage durations, thereby improving the accuracy of consumable lifespan prediction.

[0116] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the controller 10 is also used to add the reference time to the target usage duration to obtain the usage termination time corresponding to the current consumable.

[0117] In a specific implementation, the controller 10 can read the reference time from the memory 40, that is, the initial time when the therapeutic device is powered on, and then add the reference time to the target usage time to obtain the usage termination time corresponding to the consumable. For example, if the therapeutic device is powered on at 10:00:00 on 2025.03.01 and the service life of the consumable is 10 hours, then the usage termination time is 20:00:00 on 2025.03.01. That is, when the consumable starts running from the time the therapeutic device is powered on until 20:00:00 on 2025.03.01, it is determined that the consumable has reached its service life and an alarm signal is output.

[0118] In this embodiment, the controller reads the target usage time corresponding to the consumable from each preset usage time in the memory, reads the reference time from the memory, and adds the reference time to the target usage time, thereby accurately obtaining the usage termination time corresponding to the consumable and effectively improving the accuracy of consumable life prediction.

[0119] Based on the first to third embodiments of this application, a fourth embodiment of this application is proposed. In this fourth embodiment, content that is the same as or similar to that in the first to third embodiments described above can be referred to the above description and will not be repeated hereafter. Based on this, please refer to... Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the fourth embodiment of the therapeutic device using consumables according to this application.

[0120] In this embodiment, the treatment device also includes a time calibration module 60.

[0121] The time calibration module 60 is connected to the real-time clock module 20.

[0122] It should be noted that the time calibration module 60 can be a circuit that calibrates the RTC time generated by the real-time clock module 20.

[0123] The time calibration module 60 is used to obtain the real-time time provided by an external time source and the reference time provided by the real-time clock module 20.

[0124] In its implementation, the time calibration module 60 can obtain the real-time time from an external time source (such as a Network Time Protocol server) through technologies such as Network Time Protocol (NTP) or Global Positioning System (GPS). This real-time time is the time on the real-time timeline. Simultaneously, the time calibration module 60 can also communicate with the real-time clock module 20 to obtain the reference time corresponding to the current consumable provided by the real-time clock module 20.

[0125] The time calibration module 60 is also used to calibrate the real-time clock module 20 based on the real-time time when the target time and the real-time time are inconsistent.

[0126] In a specific implementation, the time calibration module 60 can compare the target time with the real time. When the target time and the real time are inconsistent, the time difference between the two is calculated. Then, the time difference is added to the target time generated by the real-time clock module 20 to obtain the calibrated time that is consistent with the real time, thereby ensuring that the calibrated time is accurate.

[0127] It should be understood that the usage time record of the treatment device or consumables uses the time generated by the real-time clock module 20 before calibration, that is, the time on the RTC time axis. After calibration, the time generated by the real-time clock module 20 is still the time on the RTC time axis. The calibration method is to add the time difference between the times on the RTC time axis. Therefore, the time generated by the real-time clock module 20 before and after calibration is the time on the RTC time axis, which will not affect the usage time record of the treatment device or consumables, ensuring that the lifespan of the treatment device or consumables can be accurately predicted.

[0128] Furthermore, the real-time clock module 20 is also connected to the memory 40.

[0129] Understandably, the real-time clock module 20 can also communicate with the memory 40, thereby storing a specific moment in the memory 40 or reading the corresponding stored moment from the memory 40.

[0130] After the time calibration module 60 calibrates the real-time clock module 20, the real-time clock module 20 stops running and restarts.

[0131] The real-time clock module 20 is also used to generate a reference stop time based on the calibrated time when the machine stops running, and save the reference stop time to the memory 40.

[0132] In a specific implementation, the real-time clock module 20 can use the time generated after calibration and when the therapeutic device stops running as the reference stopping time, and send the reference stopping time to the memory 40 for storage.

[0133] The real-time clock module 20 is also used to read the reference stop time in the memory 40 as the new reference time upon restart.

[0134] In a specific implementation, when the therapeutic device restarts, the real-time clock module 20 reads the stored reference stop time from the memory 40 and uses the reference stop time as the new reference time, thereby providing a reference closer to real-time for time processing after restarting, and thus improving the accuracy of subsequent time processing.

[0135] Furthermore, the treatment device also includes: an early warning module 70.

[0136] The early warning module 70 is connected to the controller 10.

[0137] The controller 10 is also used to transmit the output warning signal to the warning module 70.

[0138] The early warning module 70 is used to alert the user when an early warning signal is received.

[0139] In a specific implementation, the controller 10 may include a comparator module. This comparator module generates a warning signal when the current target time of the consumable reaches its corresponding end-of-use time, i.e., when the consumable reaches the end of its service life. This warning signal is then sent to the warning module 70. The warning signal generated by the controller 10 can be sent to the warning module 70 via a corresponding circuit, which may involve signal conditioning of the warning signal, such as amplification and filtering, to ensure the stability and reliability of the warning signal received by the warning module 70. Upon receiving the warning signal, the warning module 70 activates its alert mechanism, generating a corresponding physical warning signal to remind the user that the consumable has reached its end-of-use time and needs to be replaced.

[0140] Furthermore, the warning module 70 includes at least one of a display module, an indicator light module, a buzzer module, and a voice module.

[0141] It is easy to understand that the physical signal generated by the aforementioned warning module 70 upon receiving the warning signal can be in the form of light, sound, etc. Correspondingly, the warning module 70 can specifically be one or more of the following: a display module, an indicator light module, a buzzer module, and a voice module.

[0142] In specific implementation, if the warning module 70 is a display module, the physical signal can be a piece of displayed text, specifically, it can be an output of text that can output the corresponding language and indicate "Please replace consumables"; if the warning module 70 is an indicator light module, the corresponding physical signal can be a special light, specifically, it can be an output of a flashing, gradually changing brightness, or specific color light; if the warning module 70 is a buzzer module, the corresponding physical signal can be a special sound, specifically, it can be an output of a sound of a specific frequency or a specific loudness; if the warning module 70 is a voice module, the corresponding physical signal can be a piece of voice, specifically, it can be an output of the corresponding language and indicate "Please replace consumables".

[0143] In this embodiment, the time calibration module acquires the real-time time provided by an external time source. When the target time and the real-time time are inconsistent, the target time is calibrated based on the real-time time to obtain a calibrated time. This calibrates the time generated by the real-time clock module, ensuring accurate timing for the therapeutic device. Furthermore, when the real-time clock module stops running, it generates a reference stopping time based on the calibrated time and saves it to memory. Upon restarting, the reference stopping time in memory is read as the new reference time. This provides a reference closer to real-time for time processing after restarting, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent time processing.
