Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to an ultrasonic therapy device and its power control structure. Background Technology
[0002] Existing ultrasound therapy devices typically output power directly at the set level upon startup. If there is no contact with the human body or poor contact, this can lead to energy waste or equipment damage. Although some devices have contact detection functions, they are prone to misjudgment due to brief accidental touches or signal fluctuations, affecting treatment safety and equipment reliability. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0015] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0016] An ultrasonic therapy device includes an ultrasonic head and its power control structure. The power control structure includes a control circuit and a delay controller. The control circuit includes an analog-to-digital converter, an amplifier U1, a transformer, a sampling resistor R1, and a waveform generator.
[0017] Two transformers (Transformer A and Transformer B) are connected in parallel between the ultrasonic head and the waveform generator. NPN transistors A and B are respectively installed between the waveform generator and transformers A and B. The bases of transistors A and B are connected to the waveform generator, and the collector of transistor A is connected to transformer A. The emitter of transistor A is connected to sampling resistor R1, and the other end of sampling resistor R1 is grounded. The emitter of transistor B is connected to transformer B, and the collector is connected to the non-grounded end of sampling resistor R1. The positive and negative input terminals of amplifier U1 are connected to the two ends of sampling resistor R1, and the output terminal is connected to the analog-to-digital converter. The VCC / GND pins provide power to amplifier U1, ensuring the normal operation of amplifier U1's circuit bias and signal amplification functions, and are the energy foundation for the analog signal processing section.
[0018] The ultrasonic head receives electrical energy output from the transformer and converts it into ultrasonic mechanical energy through principles such as the piezoelectric effect, then emits ultrasonic waves, serving as the "execution terminal" of the entire circuit.
[0019] The waveform generator acts as a signal source, outputting small-amplitude, specific waveforms (such as pulses or sine waves, adapted to the requirements of ultrasound operation) electrical signals. These signals control the timing and signal characteristics of the subsequent power amplification stage, determining the final ultrasonic signal mode output by the ultrasound head. Transistors receive the signals from the waveform generator and control their on / off states, acting as a "switch" and providing initial signal amplification, thus driving the subsequent transformer.
[0020] Transformers A and B receive power input (usually DC high voltage, etc.), and combined with the control signal of the transistor, perform voltage transformation and power matching of the electrical energy, outputting AC power suitable for driving the ultrasonic head, providing sufficient energy for the ultrasonic head to work and generate ultrasonic waves.
[0021] The voltage signal output by the sampling resistor is usually very weak. The amplifier amplifies it to increase the signal amplitude, enabling the subsequent ADC (analog-to-digital converter) to accurately acquire and process the signal. Ultimately, this signal can be used to monitor the ultrasonic head's operating current, feedback control power, etc. The analog-to-digital converter (ADC) receives the amplified voltage signal from the amplifier and converts the analog voltage into a digital signal. This facilitates data processing, analysis, and control by subsequent digital circuits (such as microcontrollers, FPGAs, etc.), enabling intelligent monitoring and control of the ultrasonic system.
[0022] The sampling resistor R1 is connected in series in the power circuit. Utilizing the principle that "current flowing through a resistor generates voltage" (Ohm's Law: U = I×R), the circuit current when the ultrasonic head is working is converted into a measurable voltage signal, realizing the physical quantity conversion of "current → voltage".
[0023] When the ultrasound head comes into contact with the human body, the analog-to-digital converter will detect the voltage change. If the connection is normal... Once the device comes into contact with the human body, the power gradually increases. When the power exceeds the threshold set in the program, it is determined that the device has come into contact with the human body, and the therapeutic device begins to operate normally at the set values.
[0024] This circuit achieves ultrasonic energy output through the main line of "waveform generation → transistor control → transformer power drive → ultrasonic head emission of ultrasound"; at the same time, it relies on "sampling resistor + amplifier + ADC" to complete the monitoring and digitization of the working current, making it a functional circuit that takes into account both ultrasonic drive and current feedback.
[0025] The delay controller connects to the digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Based on the data from the DAC, the delay controller determines whether the action is contact or detachment and starts timing. If the collected data exceeds a threshold, positive timing begins, and the action begins after the timer expires. If negative data is detected during the timing period, negative timing begins, and the action begins after the timer reaches zero. This method avoids data fluctuations caused by short-term accidental touches, which could lead to device malfunctions. Furthermore, controlling the duration of the delay controls the sensitivity of the device's detection.
[0026] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined by the scope of the claims.
