Background Art

[0003] In the prior art, when using an ultrasonic treatment device, if the ultrasonic treatment head continuously treats a point on the skin, it is likely to cause skin burns. Therefore, it is necessary to install a contact sensor on the ultrasonic treatment head. As long as the contact sensor detects the contact between the ultrasonic treatment head and the skin, the ultrasonic treatment head is controlled to continuously output energy.

[0004] However, when the contact sensor detects that the ultrasonic treatment head is in contact with the skin and the movement of the ultrasonic treatment device has stopped, the ultrasonic treatment device determines that the ultrasonic treatment head is in continuous use and controls the ultrasonic treatment head to continue releasing energy, which is likely to cause burns to the user. That is, the existing contact detection accuracy of the ultrasonic treatment head is not high.

[0018] [Figure 1]This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first embodiment of the RF array control device of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an ultrasonic therapy device in the hardware operating environment related to the present invention. [Figure 3] This is a schematic flowchart of the first embodiment of the control method for an ultrasonic treatment head of the present invention. [Figure 4] This is a schematic flowchart of a second embodiment of the control method for an ultrasonic treatment head according to the present invention. The objectives, functional features, and advantages of the present invention will be further explained with reference to the drawings and the embodiments. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0019] It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are used solely to illustrate the present application and are not intended to limit it.

[0020] In conventional technology, when using an ultrasound therapy device, continuous treatment of a single point on the skin by the ultrasound therapy head can easily cause burns. Therefore, a displacement sensor must be installed on the ultrasound therapy head. If the displacement sensor detects that the ultrasound therapy head is moving, treatment can be started; otherwise, the transducer is turned off.

[0021] However, this method has several drawbacks. For example, if a user is using the ultrasound treatment head themselves, and the user moves the entire ultrasound treatment device, the system may determine that the ultrasound treatment head has moved relative to the skin surface, even though the head itself has not moved. This can cause the transducer to continue operating, potentially resulting in burns to the user. In short, the relative displacement detection accuracy of existing ultrasound treatment heads is not high.

[0022] This invention provides a solution in which, in this embodiment, the ultrasonic therapy device acquires displacement data of the ultrasonic therapy head using a displacement sensor, compares the displacement data of the ultrasonic therapy head with preset displacement data, simultaneously determines whether or not there is movement in the ultrasonic therapy head, and determines whether or not there is movement based on the current contact data acquired by the contact sensor. In other words, in this invention, by using a combination of a displacement sensor and a contact sensor, the contact state between the ultrasonic therapy head and human skin is determined from multiple dimensions, thereby enabling a more accurate determination of whether or not there is contact between the ultrasonic therapy head and human skin, and controlling the ultrasonic therapy head to output ultrasonic energy in a timely manner, which is advantageous in improving the safety of using the ultrasonic therapy device.

[0023] The ultrasonic therapy device used in the implementation of the present invention will be described below.

[0024] This application provides a first embodiment of a control device for an ultrasonic treatment head. Referring to Figure 1, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first embodiment of the RF array control device of this application.

[0025] While the flowchart shows a logical sequence, in some cases, the steps illustrated or described may be performed in a different order than shown here.

[0026] In this first embodiment, the ultrasonic treatment device is An ultrasonic treatment head 100 used to output ultrasonic energy, A displacement sensor 200 is provided on the handle portion of the ultrasonic treatment head or the ultrasonic treatment device and is used to collect ultrasonic treatment head displacement data of the ultrasonic treatment head. A contact sensor 300 is provided on the ultrasonic treatment head and is used to collect current contact data between the ultrasonic treatment head and the corresponding human skin. The system includes a processor 400, memory, and a control program for an ultrasonic treatment head stored in the memory, wherein the control program for the ultrasonic treatment head, when operated by the processor, implements steps of a method for controlling an ultrasonic treatment head.

[0027] In some embodiments, the contact sensor includes a pressure sensor, a capacitance sensor, and an infrared distance sensor, but the type of contact sensor is not limited here, and at least one of the contact sensors is required.

[0028] Referring to Figure 2, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an ultrasonic therapy device in a hardware operating environment according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0029] As shown in Figure 2, the ultrasound therapy device may include a processor 1001 such as a central processing unit (CPU), a communication bus 1002, a user interface 1003, a network interface 1004, and memory 1005. Of these, the communication bus 1002 is used to connect and communicate between these components. The user interface 1003 includes input units such as a display and a keyboard, and optionally the user interface 1003 may also include a standard wired or wireless interface. The network interface 1004 may optionally include a standard wired or wireless interface (e.g., a Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi) interface). The memory 1005 may be high-speed random access memory (RAM) or stable non-volatile memory (NVM) such as magnetic disk memory. The memory 1005 may optionally be a storage device independent of the processor 1001 mentioned above.

[0030] As those skilled in the art will understand, the structure shown in Figure 2 is not limited to ultrasonic therapy devices and may have more or fewer components than shown, or may combine several components or have different component layouts.

[0031] As shown in Figure 2, the memory 1005, which is a storage medium, may include an operating system, a data storage module, a network communication module, a user interface module, and a control program for the ultrasound treatment head.

[0032] In the ultrasonic therapy device shown in Figure 2, the network interface 1004 is mainly used for data communication with a network server, and the user interface 1003 is mainly used for exchanging data with the user. In this application, the processor 1001 and memory 1005 of the ultrasonic therapy device may be provided in the ultrasonic therapy device, and the ultrasonic therapy device executes the control method of the ultrasonic therapy head according to the embodiment of this application by calling the control program of the ultrasonic therapy head stored in the memory 1005 by the processor 1001.

[0033] Based on, but not limited to, the hardware structure of the ultrasonic therapy device described above, the present application provides a first embodiment of a method for controlling an ultrasonic therapy head. Referring to Figure 3, Figure 3 shows a schematic flowchart of the first embodiment of the method for controlling an ultrasonic therapy head according to the present application.

[0034] While the flowchart shows a logical sequence, in some cases, the steps illustrated or described may be performed in a different order than shown here.

[0035] This embodiment provides a control method for an ultrasonic treatment head, which is used in an ultrasonic treatment device. The aforementioned ultrasound therapy device is An ultrasonic treatment head 100 used to output ultrasonic energy, A displacement sensor 200 is provided on the handle portion of the ultrasonic treatment head or the ultrasonic treatment device and is used to collect ultrasonic treatment head displacement data of the ultrasonic treatment head. The ultrasonic treatment head includes a contact sensor 300 provided on the ultrasonic treatment head and used to collect current contact data between the ultrasonic treatment head and the corresponding human skin, The above method provides a method for controlling an ultrasonic treatment head, comprising the following steps S10 to S30. S10: Based on the current displacement data of the ultrasonic treatment head collected by the displacement sensor, it is determined whether or not the ultrasonic treatment head is moving. To understand this embodiment, the main body is an ultrasonic therapy device. Specifically, the displacement data of the ultrasonic therapy head refers to the spatial movement data of the ultrasonic therapy head when a user uses the ultrasonic therapy device. The ultrasonic therapy device collects the displacement data of the ultrasonic therapy head using a displacement sensor.

[0036] Current contact data specifically refers to the contact data between the ultrasound treatment head and the human skin when a user uses an ultrasound treatment device. The ultrasound treatment device collects current contact data using contact sensors. These contact sensors include pressure sensors, capacitance sensors, or infrared distance sensors.

[0037] In simple terms, an ultrasonic therapy device collects displacement data of the ultrasonic therapy head using a displacement sensor; that is, the displacement sensor monitors whether or not the ultrasonic therapy head is moving. If the displacement data of the ultrasonic therapy head collected by the displacement sensor is zero, it is determined that the ultrasonic therapy head is continuously treating a single point on the human skin, and in this case, there is a high probability of causing burns to the user's skin.

[0038] S20: Based on the current contact data of the ultrasonic treatment head collected by the contact sensor, the contact state between the ultrasonic treatment head and the human skin is determined. It is understandable that the ultrasound treatment head moves within space, meaning that a displacement data value greater than zero does not necessarily mean that the ultrasound treatment head is in contact with human skin. For example, when a user moves the entire ultrasound treatment device themselves, if the ultrasound treatment head does not come into contact with human skin, or remains in place on a specific point of human skin for an extended period, the ultrasound treatment head will move within space. Even in this case, the displacement sensor can detect displacement data greater than zero. Therefore, in order to more accurately determine the state of the ultrasound treatment head, it is necessary to simultaneously collect current contact data between the ultrasound treatment head and human skin.

[0039] It is understandable that when a user moves the ultrasonic treatment head, the ultrasonic treatment head inevitably comes into contact with the human skin, and at this time, the contact sensor inevitably detects contact data. Therefore, the ultrasonic treatment device collects contact data between the ultrasonic treatment head and the human skin using the contact sensor, and determines the contact state between the ultrasonic treatment head and the human skin while collecting movement data of the ultrasonic treatment head.

[0040] S30: The ultrasonic treatment head is controlled to start or stop the output of ultrasonic energy based on the current displacement data and the current contact data.

[0041] To understand it, the ultrasound treatment head has both a stopped state and an active state. When the ultrasound treatment head is in the stopped state, it does not emit ultrasound energy. When the ultrasound treatment head is in the active state, it emits ultrasound energy. The ultrasound treatment device controls the ultrasound treatment head to emit ultrasound energy when it detects that the ultrasound treatment head is in contact with human skin.

[0042] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic therapy device acquires current displacement data of the ultrasonic therapy head using a displacement sensor and current contact data of the ultrasonic therapy head using a contact sensor. Based on the current displacement data and current contact data, the ultrasonic therapy head is started or stopped. The displacement data of the ultrasonic therapy head is compared with preset displacement data to determine if movement exists in the ultrasonic therapy head. Based on the current contact data acquired by the contact sensor, the contact state between the ultrasonic therapy head and human skin is determined, and there is no order in which the current displacement data and current contact data are compared. In other words, in this invention, by using a combination of a displacement sensor and a contact sensor, the contact state between the ultrasonic therapy head and human skin is determined from multiple dimensions, thereby enabling a more accurate determination of the operating state of the ultrasonic therapy head on human skin and controlling the ultrasonic therapy head to output ultrasonic energy, which is advantageous in improving the safety of using the ultrasonic therapy device.

[0043] The contact sensor includes a pressure sensor, and the current contact data is the current pressure data collected by the pressure sensor. In this embodiment, the contact sensor includes a pressure sensor, and the current contact data of the ultrasonic treatment head is the current pressure data collected by the pressure sensor.

[0044] As can be understood, the contact sensor includes a pressure sensor, which may be used to collect current pressure data between the ultrasonic treatment head and human skin. Based on the current pressure data collected by the pressure sensor, the ultrasonic treatment device can determine the contact state between the ultrasonic treatment head and human skin.

[0045] In this embodiment, after the ultrasonic treatment head moves, the ultrasonic treatment device determines the contact state between the ultrasonic treatment head and human skin based on the current pressure data collected by the pressure sensor. This allows for a more accurate determination of the contact state between the ultrasonic treatment head and human skin, and controls the ultrasonic treatment head to output ultrasonic energy, which is advantageous in improving the safety of using the ultrasonic treatment device.

[0046] Based on the above embodiment, the present invention provides a second embodiment of a control method for an ultrasonic treatment head. Referring to Figure 4, Figure 4 shows a schematic flowchart of the second embodiment of the control method for an ultrasonic treatment head of the present invention.

[0047] In this embodiment, step S20 further includes the following steps S21 and S22. S21: Determine whether the current pressure data is equal to or greater than a preset pressure value. S22: If the current pressure data is greater than or equal to the preset pressure value and the current displacement data is greater than 0, the ultrasonic treatment head is controlled to output ultrasonic energy.

[0048] It can be understood that the preset pressure value is a numerical value set by the user. After the pressure sensor acquires the current pressure data, the ultrasonic therapy device compares the current pressure data collected by the pressure sensor with the preset pressure value. If the current pressure data is greater than or equal to the preset pressure value, it indicates that the ultrasonic therapy head and the human skin are in good contact, and the ultrasonic therapy device controls the ultrasonic therapy head to output ultrasonic energy. In this embodiment, the ultrasonic therapy device is advantageous in accurately determining whether the ultrasonic therapy head and the human skin are in good contact by comparing the current pressure data with the preset pressure value, and in accurately controlling the ultrasonic therapy head to output ultrasonic energy. In this embodiment, if the current pressure data indicates a poor contact condition, i.e., immediately after the current pressure data becomes less than the preset pressure value, the ultrasonic therapy head is controlled to stop outputting ultrasonic energy. This improves the safety of using the ultrasonic therapy device.

[0049] In one embodiment, step S20 specifically includes the following steps S23 and S24. S23: Based on the historical pressure data collected by the pressure sensor and the current pressure data, a pressure change graph is generated, and based on the pressure change graph, it is determined whether or not the ultrasonic treatment head is sliding in the treatment area.

[0050] S24: Select a series of pressure data points, including the current pressure data, from the pressure change graph. If the aforementioned series of pressure data differ at least partially, and it is determined that the ultrasonic treatment head is sliding in the treatment area, and the current displacement data is greater than 0, the ultrasonic treatment head is controlled to output ultrasonic energy. If all of the aforementioned consecutive pressure data are the same and it is determined that the ultrasonic treatment head is not sliding in the treatment area, the ultrasonic treatment head is controlled to stop outputting ultrasonic energy.

[0051] It is understandable that, since a pressure sensor can only collect current pressure data, if the pressure sensor continuously collects pressure data during the user's use of the ultrasound therapy device, the ultrasound therapy device stores this pressure data in memory as historical pressure data. At this time, the ultrasound therapy device can generate a pressure change graph based on the historical pressure data and current pressure data collected by the pressure sensor. The ultrasound therapy device determines multiple pressure data from the pressure change graph, where these multiple pressure data include the current pressure data. If the multiple pressure data differ at least partially, it is determined that the ultrasound therapy head is sliding within the treatment area. If all the multiple pressure data are the same, it is determined that the ultrasound therapy head is not sliding within the treatment area. In this case, the ultrasound therapy head may be remaining in a specific position on the human skin for an extended period, and even if the current displacement data may be greater than 0, the user should move the ultrasound therapy head at this time. Because the ultrasound therapy head is remaining in a specific position on the human skin for an extended period, the ultrasound therapy head must be controlled to immediately stop outputting energy, thereby avoiding burns to the user. When the ultrasound treatment head slides within the treatment area and the displacement data collected at this time is greater than 0, i.e., the ultrasound treatment head is being used normally, the ultrasound treatment head is controlled to output ultrasound energy.

[0052] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic therapy device generates a pressure change graph from historical pressure data and current pressure data. This allows for a visual determination of whether the current pressure data fluctuates within the pressure change graph, and whether the ultrasonic therapy head is sliding within the treatment area. If the ultrasonic therapy head is moving within the treatment area, i.e., if the ultrasonic therapy head is being used normally, the ultrasonic therapy head can be precisely controlled to output ultrasonic energy. Understandably, determining whether the ultrasonic therapy head is sliding within the treatment area from the pressure change graph using other similar data processing methods also falls within the scope of this embodiment.

[0053] In one specific embodiment, in this embodiment, step S20 further includes the following steps S25 and S26. S25: Based on the historical pressure data collected by the pressure sensor and the current pressure data, the pressure difference between any two adjacent times within a preset period is determined, and at least two pressure change values ​​are obtained. S26: Based on the two pressure change values, it is determined whether or not the ultrasonic treatment head is sliding in the treatment area.

[0054] It is understandable that the pre-set period may be set by an authorized user; for example, the pre-set period may be 1 minute or 5 minutes, but the pre-set period is not limited here. The pressure change value is the pressure difference between any two adjacent times within the pre-set period. There may be at least two pressure change values, or there may be more, but the number of pressure change values ​​is not limited here. The ultrasound treatment device can determine whether the ultrasound treatment head is sliding in the treatment area based on at least two pressure change values.

[0055] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic therapy device determines whether the ultrasonic therapy head is sliding in the treatment area based on at least two pressure change values, thereby accurately determining whether the ultrasonic therapy head is in use.

[0056] In one specific embodiment, in this embodiment, step S26 specifically includes the following steps S261 and S262. S261: If all of the aforementioned pressure change values ​​are zero, it is determined that the ultrasonic treatment head is not sliding in the treatment area. S262: Control the ultrasonic treatment head to stop the output of ultrasonic energy.

[0057] As can be understood, if the ultrasonic treatment head determines that all pressure change values ​​are zero, it means that the pressure has not changed within a predetermined period, and furthermore, the ultrasonic treatment device determines that the ultrasonic treatment head is not sliding in the treatment area. In this case, it is necessary to control the ultrasonic treatment head to immediately stop outputting ultrasonic energy to ensure user safety. If all pressure change values ​​are not zero, it indicates that the pressure has changed within a predetermined period, and furthermore, it determines that the ultrasonic treatment device is sliding in the treatment area. In this case, the ultrasonic treatment head should be controlled to output ultrasonic energy.

[0058] For example, if a user is using an ultrasonic treatment head and is walking, the displacement sensor collects displacement data of the ultrasonic treatment head. At this time, the ultrasonic treatment device determines, based on the pressure data collected by the pressure sensor, that a series of pressure changes are zero. In this case, it determines that the ultrasonic treatment head is not sliding in the treatment area, and the ultrasonic treatment device then controls the ultrasonic treatment head to immediately stop outputting ultrasonic energy.

[0059] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic treatment device can accurately determine whether the ultrasonic treatment head is sliding in the treatment area by determining whether all pressure change values ​​are zero, and can further accurately control the ultrasonic treatment head.

[0060] In one specific embodiment, in this embodiment, step S10 specifically includes steps S11, S12, and S13. S11: Obtain the movement speed value of the ultrasonic treatment head. S12: Determine whether the aforementioned movement speed value is equal to or greater than a preset movement speed value. S13: If the movement speed value is equal to or greater than the preset movement speed value, it is determined that there is movement in the ultrasonic treatment head.

[0061] In simple terms, the displacement sensor can collect the movement speed value of the ultrasonic treatment head, and the preset movement speed value is a value set by an authorized user. The ultrasonic treatment device determines whether the movement speed value is equal to or greater than the preset movement speed value and determines whether the movement of the ultrasonic treatment head is effective. If the movement speed value is equal to or greater than the preset movement speed value, it is determined that there is effective movement of the ultrasonic treatment head, and if the movement speed value is less than the preset movement speed value, it is determined that there is no effective movement of the ultrasonic treatment head.

[0062] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic therapy device can more accurately determine whether or not there is effective movement in the ultrasonic therapy head by determining whether or not the movement speed value is equal to or greater than a preset movement speed value.

[0063] Furthermore, embodiments of the present application propose a computer storage medium storing a control program for an ultrasonic treatment head that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the method for controlling the ultrasonic treatment head described above.
