[0005] A vacuum-assisted biopsy system is a medical device used for minimally invasive treatment or biopsy of tumors. It primarily consists of a main unit, a biopsy surgical device, and a vacuum negative pressure system. Under the guidance of an imaging device (such as B-ultrasound), the system inserts the biopsy needle of the biopsy surgical device into the surgical site. The system then electrically controls the biopsy needle to mechanically move the needle to partially or completely excise the lesion tissue. The excised tissue specimen is then transported to a collection location through negative pressure for subsequent sample analysis and testing.

[0006] Since AC vacuum pumps have the advantages of high negative pressure and high flow, at present, the vacuum negative pressure system of vacuum-assisted biopsy systems often uses AC vacuum pumps as the negative pressure source. However, traditional technology or some biopsy systems in a certain technology have the disadvantage of poor load starting capability. Of course, it can also provide the biopsy system with strong load starting capability, but there is a problem of high temperature rise rate after long-term operation.

[0061] The realization of the objectives, functional features and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0062] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0063] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present application (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0064] In addition, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in this application are for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this needs to be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.

[0065] Biopsy, short for pathological examination of living tissue, refers to the procedure of obtaining diseased tissue from a patient for examination and confirmation of diagnosis through surgical procedures such as local excision, forceps extraction, needle aspiration, scraping, and removal. During the biopsy, a small incision is made in the skin at the puncture site under local anesthesia. A thick pillow or a cored needle is inserted to aspirate a small piece of tissue for pathological examination. Alternatively, a drill can be used to extract the sample. Currently, vacuum-assisted biopsy systems often use an AC vacuum pump as the negative pressure source. To ensure surgical safety, the AC vacuum pump's starting power is the same as that used during the procedure. This results in a lower starting power, resulting in poor under-load starting capability. While this can provide the biopsy system with strong under-load starting capability, it can also suffer from a high temperature rise rate after prolonged operation, which can even require shutdown and cooling in severe cases.

[0066] Based on the problems existing in the above technical solutions, the present application provides a vacuum pump control method for a biopsy system, including when the vacuum pump is started with a load, the controller controls the capacitor circuit connected in parallel with the vacuum pump to be in a capacity-increasing state; when the vacuum pump is running smoothly, the controller controls the capacitor circuit connected in parallel with the vacuum pump to switch to a non-capacitance-increasing state. When the biopsy system is started, the controller increases the capacity of the vacuum pump by controlling the capacitor circuit to be in a capacity-increasing state, thereby increasing the starting power when the vacuum pump is started, and improving the load-starting capability of the vacuum pump. At the same time, after the vacuum pump runs smoothly, the controller sets the capacitor circuit to a non-capacitance-increasing state to reduce the capacitance of the capacitor circuit connected in parallel with the vacuum pump, thereby reducing the operating heat of the vacuum pump without affecting the load-carrying capacity of the vacuum pump, reducing the temperature rise rate when the vacuum pump is running, and enabling the vacuum pump to continue to operate for a long time without stopping to cool down, further improving the efficiency of the operation.

[0067] The present application proposes a vacuum pump control method for a biopsy system. Referring to FIG1 , FIG1 is a flow chart of an embodiment of the vacuum pump control method for a biopsy system of the present application.

[0068] The vacuum pump control method of the biopsy system includes:

[0069] Step S101, when the vacuum pump is started with load, controlling the capacitor circuit connected in parallel with the vacuum pump to be in a capacitance increasing state;

[0070] Step S102 : When the vacuum pump is running smoothly, the capacitor circuit connected in parallel with the vacuum pump is controlled to switch to a non-capacitance-increasing state.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, the vacuum pump control circuit of the biopsy system includes a capacitor circuit, and the states of the capacitor circuit include a capacitance-increasing state and a non-capacitance-increasing state.

[0072] When the vacuum pump is started with load, the controller controls the capacitor circuit connected in parallel with the vacuum pump to be in a capacity-increasing state. Specifically, the capacitor circuit is provided with multiple capacitors connected in parallel with the vacuum pump. When the vacuum pump is started with load, at least two capacitors in the capacitor circuit are controlled to be connected in parallel with the vacuum pump so that the capacitor circuit is in a capacity-increasing state. By increasing the parallel capacitance of the vacuum pump, the starting power of the vacuum pump is increased when the vacuum pump is started, thereby improving the load-starting capability of the vacuum pump.

[0073] When the vacuum pump is running smoothly, the controller controls the capacitor circuit in parallel with the vacuum pump to switch to a non-capacitance-increasing state. Specifically, after the vacuum pump is running smoothly, part of the capacitors in parallel with the vacuum pump are disconnected, and the capacitors during normal operation of the vacuum pump are retained to reduce the capacitance of the capacitor circuit in parallel with the vacuum pump, thereby reducing the operating heat of the vacuum pump without affecting the load capacity of the vacuum pump, reducing the temperature rise rate during the operation of the vacuum pump, and allowing the vacuum pump to continue to operate for a long time without stopping to cool down, thereby further improving surgical efficiency.

[0076] As shown in Figure 2, the capacitor circuit 100 is connected in parallel with the vacuum pump 200. The capacitor circuit 100 includes a first capacitor 110, a second capacitor 120, and a first state switching element 130. The vacuum pump 200 is an AC vacuum pump.

[0077] As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4, the first capacitor 110 is connected in parallel with the vacuum pump 200, and the second capacitor 120 is connected in parallel with the vacuum pump 200. The first capacitor 110 is the starting capacitor of the vacuum pump 200 in the existing biopsy system, and the second capacitor 120 is the newly added capacitor of the present application. The second capacitor 120, the first capacitor 110, and the vacuum pump 200 are electrically connected in parallel to form a parallel circuit. Specifically, in a conventional biopsy system, the first capacitor 110 is connected in parallel with the vacuum pump 200, and the second capacitor 120 is connected in parallel at both ends of the circuit between the first capacitor 110 and the vacuum pump 200 to form the parallel circuit of the present application, in which the second capacitor 120, the first capacitor 110, and the vacuum pump 200 are connected in parallel.

[0078] As shown in FIG. 2 , FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , the first state switching element 130 is connected in series with the second capacitor 120 . The first state switching element 130 is used to disconnect or connect the connection between the second capacitor 120 and the vacuum pump 200 through state switching.

[0079] The first state switching element 130 can be a high-voltage power relay. As shown in FIG2 , the first state switching element 130 and the second capacitor 120 are connected in series to form a series circuit, which is connected in parallel with the vacuum pump 200. Furthermore, the series circuit formed by adding the first state switching element 130 and the second capacitor 120 in series to a conventional biopsy system is disconnected when the first state switching element 130 is in the open state, disconnecting the parallel connection between the second capacitor 120 and the vacuum pump 200. When the first state switching element 130 is in the closed state, the second capacitor 120 and the vacuum pump 200 are connected in parallel.

[0080] When the second capacitor 120 is connected to the vacuum pump 200 , the capacitor circuit 100 is in a capacitance-increasing state; when the second capacitor 120 is disconnected from the vacuum pump 200 , the capacitor circuit 100 is in a non-capacitance-increasing state.

[0081] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the vacuum pump control circuit further includes a controller 300, which is connected to the first state switching element 130. The controller 300 may be an MCU of the biopsy system, and the controller 300 may control the first state switching element 130 to switch states.

[0082] In one embodiment, in a possible implementation, as shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4, the state of the first state switching element 130 includes a closed state and an open state. When the first state switching element 130 is in the closed state, the second capacitor 120 is simultaneously connected in parallel with the first capacitor 110 and the vacuum pump 200; when the first state switching element 130 is in the open state, the second capacitor 120 is simultaneously disconnected from the vacuum pump 200 and the first capacitor 110.

[0083] In this embodiment, when the vacuum pump 200 is started with a load, the controller 300 controls the capacitor circuit 100 connected in parallel with the vacuum pump 200 to be in a capacity expansion state; specifically, after the biopsy system is connected to an AC 220V power supply and turned on, the controller 300 controls the first state switching element 130 to be closed. The controller 300 can send a control instruction to the first state switching element 130, and the first state switching element 130 performs a closing operation according to the control instruction, so that the first state switching element 130 is closed and is in a closed state, so that the second capacitor 120 is connected in parallel with the first capacitor 110 and the vacuum pump 200 at the same time, and the two ends of the second capacitor 120 are electrically connected to the two poles of the power supply respectively. The vacuum pump 200 is connected to the power supply and starts running. At this time, the first capacitor connected in parallel with the vacuum pump 200 110 and the second capacitor 120 simultaneously serve as the starting capacitor of the vacuum pump 200, that is, the starting capacitor of the vacuum pump 200 = the first capacitor 110 + the second capacitor 120, and the capacitor circuit 100 is in a capacity-increasing state, wherein the first capacitor 110 can provide sufficient electrical energy for the normal operation of the vacuum pump 200, and the second capacitor 120 provides sufficient electrical energy for the load starting of the vacuum pump 200, that is, the first capacitor 110 and the second capacitor 120 simultaneously provide sufficient electrical energy for the load starting of the vacuum pump 200, thereby improving the load starting capability of the vacuum pump 120.

[0084] In this embodiment, when the vacuum pump 200 is running smoothly, the controller 300 controls the capacitor circuit 100 connected in parallel with the vacuum pump 200 to switch to a non-capacitance-increasing state. Specifically, after the vacuum pump 200 starts running, the controller 300 can detect in real time whether the vacuum pump 200 is running smoothly. The controller 300 can detect or judge the smooth running state through the operating parameters of the vacuum pump 200. When the vacuum pump 200 is running smoothly, the controller 300 controls the first state switching element 130 to disconnect. For example, the controller 300 can send a disconnection instruction to the first state switching element 130, and the first state switching element 130 performs a disconnection operation according to the received disconnection instruction, thereby The first state switching element 130 is disconnected and is in an off state. At this time, the second capacitor 120 is disconnected from the vacuum pump 200 and the first capacitor 110 at the same time. The access capacitor of the vacuum pump 200 is the first capacitor 110, so that the first capacitor 110 serves as the capacitor when the vacuum pump 200 is running. The capacitor circuit 100 is in a non-capacitance-increasing state. The first capacitor 110 can provide sufficient electrical energy for the normal operation of the vacuum pump 200, thereby reducing the operating heat of the vacuum pump 200 without affecting the load capacity of the vacuum pump 200, reducing the temperature rise rate of the vacuum pump 200 during operation, and allowing the vacuum pump 200 to continue to operate for a long time without stopping to cool down, thereby further improving surgical efficiency.

[0085] It should be emphasized that the first capacitor 110 may be a single capacitor or a capacitor combination formed by a combination of multiple sub-capacitors, and the second capacitor 120 may also be a single capacitor or a capacitor combination formed by a combination of multiple sub-capacitors.

[0086] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG4 , the vacuum pump control circuit further includes a second state switching element 400 . The vacuum pump 200 is connected to a power supply. The second state switching element 400 is connected in series with the power supply and the vacuum pump 200. The second state switching element 400 is configured to control the power supply state of the vacuum pump 200 by switching between states. The second state switching element 400 is connected to the controller 300 . The second state switching element 400 is a solid-state relay. The second state switching element 400 has two states: a closed state and an open state. When the second state switching element 400 is in the open state, the vacuum pump 200 stops operating.

[0087] In one embodiment, in a possible implementation, as shown in FIG3 , the vacuum pump 200 is further connected to a second state switching element 400 for switching the power supply state of the vacuum pump. As shown in FIG5 , the vacuum pump control method of the biopsy system further includes:

[0088] Step S201 : The vacuum pump stops running by controlling the second state switching element to switch to the off state.

[0089] In this embodiment, the second state switching element 400 is connected in series with the power supply and the vacuum pump 200. The second state switching element 400 is used to control the power supply state of the vacuum pump 200 by switching states. The second state switching element 400 is connected to the controller 300. The second state switching element 400 is a solid-state relay. The second state switching element 400 has two states: a closed state and an open state. When the second state switching element 400 is in the open state, the vacuum pump 200 stops operating.

[0090] In this embodiment, after the biopsy system is connected to an AC 220V power supply and turned on, the controller 300 controls the first state switching element 130 and the second state switching element 400 to close. Specifically, the controller 300 can send a control instruction to the first state switching element 130 and the second state switching element 400. The first state switching element 130 and the second state switching element 400 respectively perform a closing operation according to the control instruction, so that the first state switching element 130 and the second state switching element 400 are in a closed state, so that the second capacitor 120 is simultaneously connected in parallel with the first capacitor 110 and the vacuum pump 200, and the two ends of the second capacitor 120 are respectively electrically connected to the two poles of the power supply. The vacuum pump 200 is connected to the power supply and starts running. At this time, the vacuum pump 20 The first capacitor 110 and the second capacitor 120 connected in parallel simultaneously serve as the starting capacitor of the vacuum pump 200, that is, the starting capacitor of the vacuum pump 200 = the first capacitor 110 + the second capacitor 120. The newly added second capacitor 120 provides sufficient electrical energy for the load starting of the vacuum pump 200, thereby improving the load starting capability of the vacuum pump 200. Among them, the first capacitor 110 can provide sufficient electrical energy for the normal operation of the vacuum pump 200, and the second capacitor 120 provides sufficient electrical energy for the load starting of the vacuum pump 200. In other words, the first capacitor 110 and the second capacitor 120 simultaneously provide sufficient electrical energy for the load starting of the vacuum pump 200, thereby improving the load starting capability of the vacuum pump 120.

[0091] The controller 300 can control the second state switching element 400 to switch states. For example, at the end of the operation, the end of the operation instruction can be triggered by the biopsy system. When the end of the operation instruction is detected, the controller 300 can send a disconnection instruction to the second state switching element 400. The second state switching element 400 performs a disconnection operation according to the disconnection instruction. The second state switching element 400 switches to the disconnected state, and the vacuum pump 200 stops running.

[0092] In one embodiment, the vacuum pump control circuit further includes a vacuum pump current acquisition circuit, and the controller 300 is connected to the vacuum pump current acquisition circuit.

[0093] It should be noted that the controller 300 is also connected to a vacuum pump current acquisition circuit to collect the operating current of the vacuum pump 300. The controller 300 can determine whether the vacuum pump 300 is operating smoothly based on the collected operating current. The vacuum pump current acquisition circuit may include a current transformer connected to the vacuum pump 300. The vacuum pump current acquisition circuit can adopt an existing current acquisition circuit as long as it can achieve current acquisition, and will not be described in detail here.

[0094] In one embodiment, in one implementation, as shown in FIG6 , the vacuum pump control method of the biopsy system further includes:

[0095] Step S301, obtaining the real-time current of the vacuum pump;

[0096] Step S302: Determine whether the vacuum pump is running smoothly based on the real-time current.

[0097] In this embodiment, when the vacuum pump 200 is started with load, the controller 300 obtains the real-time current of the vacuum pump. Specifically, the real-time current of the vacuum pump 200 can be obtained through a current transformer, and the starting current of the vacuum pump 200 when started with load is recorded.

[0098] After obtaining the real-time current, it is determined whether the vacuum pump is running smoothly according to the real-time current. Specifically, as shown in FIG7 , step S302 includes:

[0099] Step a, determining a current threshold based on a starting current of the vacuum pump;

[0100] Step b: determining whether the vacuum pump is running smoothly based on whether the real-time current is less than a current threshold, wherein when the real-time current is less than the current threshold, it is determined that the vacuum pump is running smoothly.

[0101] In this embodiment, the controller 300 determines the current threshold through the starting current of the vacuum pump. Specifically, the controller 300 can determine the preset coefficient between the current threshold and the starting current through experimental data in advance. After obtaining the starting current, the current threshold is determined according to the starting current and the preset coefficient, that is, the current threshold = starting current * preset coefficient. For example, the preset coefficient can be 0.5~0.8.

[0102] Next, the controller 300 determines whether the real-time current is less than the current threshold. When the real-time current is less than the current threshold, it is determined that the vacuum pump is running smoothly, and then it can be accurately determined whether the vacuum pump is in a stable operating state, so that after the vacuum pump is running smoothly, the controller 300 sets the capacitor circuit to a non-capacitance increase state, thereby reducing the operating heat of the vacuum pump 200 without affecting the load capacity of the vacuum pump 200, reducing the temperature rise rate of the vacuum pump 200 during operation, and allowing the vacuum pump 200 to continue to run for a long time without stopping to cool down, thereby further improving surgical efficiency.

[0103] The vacuum pump control method of the biopsy system of the present application is as follows: when the vacuum pump is started with a load, the controller controls the capacitor circuit connected in parallel with the vacuum pump to be in a capacity-increasing state; when the vacuum pump is running smoothly, the controller controls the capacitor circuit connected in parallel with the vacuum pump to switch to a non-capacitance-increasing state. When the biopsy system is started, the controller controls the capacitor circuit to be in a capacity-increasing state to increase the capacity of the vacuum pump, thereby increasing the starting power of the vacuum pump when it is started, and improving the load-starting capability of the vacuum pump. At the same time, after the vacuum pump runs smoothly, the controller sets the capacitor circuit to a non-capacitance-increasing state to reduce the capacitance of the capacitor circuit connected in parallel with the vacuum pump, thereby reducing the operating heat of the vacuum pump without affecting the load-carrying capability of the vacuum pump, reducing the temperature rise rate when the vacuum pump is running, and enabling the vacuum pump to continue to operate for a long time without stopping to cool down, further improving surgical efficiency.

[0104] In addition, an embodiment of the present application further provides a vacuum pump control module for a biopsy system. The control module is applied to a vacuum pump control circuit in the biopsy system. The vacuum pump control circuit includes a capacitor circuit connected in parallel with the vacuum pump. The control module is configured as follows:

[0105] When the vacuum pump is started with load, the capacitor circuit connected in parallel with the vacuum pump is controlled to be in a capacity increasing state;

[0106] When the vacuum pump is running smoothly, the capacitor circuit connected in parallel with the vacuum pump is controlled to switch to a non-capacitance-increasing state.
