A neutral electrode is used in conjunction with a high-frequency host such as a radio frequency instrument, and is connected to the high-frequency host to provide a low-density return channel for the high-frequency host. It is usually composed of conductive glue, aluminum foil, foam, anti-allergic layer, etc. A degree of fit between a neutral electrode and an operation target may affect an operation process.

Referring to
Specifically, the radio frequency host may be a device such as a radio frequency ablation apparatus, and the radio frequency operated object may be any object that needs a radio frequency operation. For example, when the radio frequency host is a radio frequency ablation apparatus, the radio frequency operated object may be an animal body that needs to ablate mutated tissues in the body. As shown in
Referring to
Step S201, when the connecting ends of a plurality of radio frequency circuits connects an operated object to a radio frequency host, detection values of the plurality of radio frequency circuits are acquired.
Specifically, an execution subject of this embodiment is the radio frequency host, and the radio frequency host can detect whether a connecting end has been connected to the operation object. The connecting end is used to connect an operated object to the radio frequency host, and whether firmness of the connection meets a connection standard is a prerequisite of whether the radio frequency host can complete a radio frequency operation smoothly and safely.
The connecting end can be a neutral electrode; the operated object is an object or target for the radio frequency host to perform a radio frequency operation.
The radio frequency circuit includes a detection circuit, which is used to detect whether a connection between a connecting end and an operated object meets a connection standard; when the connecting end is a neutral electrode, the detection circuit specifically detects whether an attachment degree between the neutral electrode and the operated object meets an attachment standard.
The radio frequency circuit further includes a radio frequency radio module; under control of the radio frequency host, the radio frequency module inputs a radio frequency signal into the radio frequency circuit to execute a radio frequency operation for the operated object.
Step S202, it is determined whether change amounts of the detection values reach a preset value range.
Whether a change amount of a detection value reaches a preset value range is a determination standard for the radio frequency host to determine whether a connection between a connecting end and an operated object meets a connection standard.
Specifically, the detection value may be an impedance value, and may also be a change value of a voltage value of a primary coil of a transformer.
If a change amount of the detection values reaches a preset value range, the radio frequency host determines that the connection between the connecting end and the operated object meets the connection standard; if the change amount of the detection values does not reach the preset value range, the radio frequency host determines that the connection between the connecting end and the operated object does not meet the connection standard.
Step S203, if a number of target radio frequency circuits of which the change amounts of the detection values reach the preset value range is not less than a preset number, the preset number of target radio frequency circuits are selected from the target radio frequency circuits according to a preset selection rule as radio frequency input circuits, and radio frequency energy is input into the radio frequency input circuits.
For example, if the preset number is 2, that is, when target radio frequency circuits of which connections between connecting ends and the operated object meet the connection standard reach 2, 2 of the target radio frequency circuits are selected from these target radio frequency circuits according to a preset selection rule as radio frequency input circuits, and radio frequency energy is input thereto to be provided to the operated object.
It should be noted that each radio frequency circuit and its connecting end have their own preset series numbers. According to these series numbers, the radio frequency host can know to which operation area of the radio frequency operation the connecting end of the radio frequency circuit is connected, and determine how many radio frequency circuits each operation area needs to connect, that is, how many connecting ends are connected, according to nature of the current radio frequency operation.
The selection rule is: according to an operation area and the number of connecting ends required by the current radio frequency operation, to select a preset number of target radio frequency circuits from the target radio frequency circuits meeting the connection standard as the radio frequency input circuits.
Distribution of the target radio frequency circuits should be capable of meeting selection requirement, and both the operation area and the number of the distribution are met.
Step S204, if the number of target radio frequency circuits of which the change amounts of the detection values reach the preset value range is less than the preset number, radio frequency energy is not input into any radio frequency circuit.
If the number of target radio frequency circuits of which the change amounts of the detection values reach the preset value range is less than the preset number, it does not meet requirement of the present radio frequency operation. Therefore, no radio frequency energy is output, that is, radio frequency energy is not input into any radio frequency circuit. It is also possible to simultaneously trigger an alarm module to issue an alarm, including flashing of an alarm light and buzzing.
In this embodiment of this application, when an operated object is connected to a radio frequency host through connecting ends of radio frequency circuits, according change amounts of detection values of the radio frequency circuits, it is determined whether a number of target radio frequency circuits of which the change amounts reach a preset value range reaches a preset number, that is, it is determined whether the connection between the connecting ends and the operated object meets a connection standard; if reaching, the preset number of target radio frequency circuits are selected from the target radio frequency circuits as radio frequency input circuits, and radio frequency signals are controlled to input; if not reaching, no radio frequency is input, so as to avoid subsequent radio frequency operations from being affected by connection not meeting the standard. Accordingly, the above-described method for safety control of radio frequency operation can automatically determine whether connection between an operated object and radio frequency circuits meets a standard, and does not input radio frequency energy when the number of radio frequency circuits meeting the standard do not meet requirement of radio frequency operation, thereby improving safety and intelligence of radio frequency operation.
Referring to
Step S301, when connecting ends of a plurality of radio frequency circuits connect an operated object to a radio frequency host, detection values of the plurality of radio frequency circuits are acquired.
Step S302, it is determined whether change amounts of the detection values reach a preset value range.
Specifically, a change amount of a detection value is a change amount of a voltage of a primary coil of a transformer in a radio frequency circuit.
Referring to
Specifically, when neutral electrodes of a plurality of radio frequency circuits are attached to the operated object to connect the operated object to the radio frequency host, the control module controls the detection signal module to send a detecting signal to the transformer, and acquires voltage values of primary coils of transformers of the plurality of radio frequency circuits. When a voltage value decreases to the preset value range, it is determined that an attachment degree between a neutral electrode 10 and the operated object 200 meets a preset standard. The preset value range is preferably 1.6-2.0 V (volt).
A specific implementation manner in a circuit can be that: it is possible to set a high electric level signal and a low electric level signal according to the preset value range, for example, a voltage signal of 2.3-2.8V is set to be the high electric level signal, and a voltage signal of 0.6-1.0V is set to be the low electric level signal. Thus, when the control module detects that a detecting signal changes from the high electric level signal to the low electric level signal, it can be determined that an attachment degree between a neutral electrode 10 and the operated object 200 meets the preset standard; if a change amount of a voltage value does not reach the preset value range, the level of the signal does not generate an obvious change, the control module 40 determines that an attachment degree between a neutral electrode 10 and the operated object 200 does not meet the preset standard.
Step S303, when a number of target radio frequency circuits of which the change amounts of the detection values reach the preset value range is not less than a preset number, the preset number of target radio frequency circuits are selected from the target radio frequency circuits according to a preset selection rule as radio frequency input circuits, and radio frequency energy is input into the radio frequency input circuits.
Among them, the step of selecting the preset number of target radio frequency circuits from the target radio frequency circuits according to a preset selection rule as radio frequency input circuits specifically comprises: acquiring preset numbers of the target radio frequency circuits; determining connecting areas corresponding to the target radio frequency circuits according to the numbers; and correspondingly selecting the radio frequency input circuits in the target radio frequency circuits according to operation areas of the current radio frequency operation and a number of circuits required by each operation area.
Step S304, if the number of target radio frequency circuits of which the change amounts of the detection values reach the preset value range is less than the preset number, radio frequency energy is not input into any radio frequency circuit.
Technical details of the above steps refer to the descriptions of the embodiment shown in above
Step S305, when it is detected that the number of target radio frequency circuits of which the change amounts of the detection values reach the preset value range is less than the preset number, the output radio frequency energy is reduced.
After radio frequency energy is input, if it is detected that the number of target radio frequency circuits of which the change amounts of the detection values reach the preset value range is less than the preset number, it means that there is a problem in the connection between a connecting end currently inputting radio frequency energy and the operated object, and a connection standard is not met. If the number of radio frequency circuits that meet the connection standard does not reach a preset number, that is, requirement of the radio frequency operation is not met, output radio frequency energy is reduced to avoid causing damage to the radio frequency host or the radio frequency operated object. At the same time, an alarm can be performed to prompt operating users to check the connection situation between the connection ends and the operated object. The alarm can be an audible and visual alarm or text display on a display screen of the radio frequency host.
Here, a method of detecting whether the change amounts of the detection values reaches the preset value range can be implemented by detecting a decreasing amount of a voltage of a primary coil of a transformer, as in the above step S302, and can also be implement by detecting an output impedance value of a radio frequency input circuit, which are specifically as follows.
Specifically, reducing output radio frequency energy means decreasing power of an output radio frequency signal. In this case, radio frequency energy is reduced to be a value that is not equal to 0, and radio frequency energy with a safe strength is still output. Alternatively, the connection between the radio frequency input circuit and the operated object is cut off; in this case, radio frequency energy is directly reduced to 0.
In this embodiment of the this application, when an operated object is connect to a radio frequency host through connecting ends of radio frequency circuits, before radio frequency energy is input, according change amounts of detection values of the radio frequency circuits, it is determined whether a number of target radio frequency circuits of which the change amounts reach a preset value range reaches a preset number, that is, it is determined whether the connection between the connecting ends and the operated object meets a connection standard; if reaching, the preset number of target radio frequency circuits are selected from the target radio frequency circuits as radio frequency input circuits, and radio frequency signals are controlled to input; if not reaching, no radio frequency is input, so as to avoid subsequent radio frequency operations from being affected by connection noting meet the standard. Accordingly, the above-described method for safety control of radio frequency operation can automatically determine whether connection between an operated object and radio frequency circuits meets a standard, and does not input radio frequency energy when the number of radio frequency circuits meeting the standard do not meet requirement of radio frequency operation, thereby improving safety and intelligence of radio frequency operation. Furthermore, after radio frequency energy is input, it is further possible to detect the change amounts of the detection values continuously and in real time; if it is detected that the number of target radio frequency circuits of which the change amounts of the detection values reach the preset value range is less than the preset number, output radio frequency energy is reduced, so as to reduce risk of damage to the radio frequency host and the operated object, and further improve safety and intelligence of radio frequency operations.
Referring to
Step S501, when connecting ends of a plurality of radio frequency circuits connects an operated object to a radio frequency host, detection values of the plurality of radio frequency circuits are acquired.
Step S502, it is determined whether change amounts of the detection values reach a preset value range.
Step S503, if a number of target radio frequency circuits of which the change amounts of the detection values reach the preset value range is not less than a preset number, the preset number of target radio frequency circuits are selected from the target radio frequency circuits according to a preset selection rule as radio frequency input circuits, and radio frequency energy is input into the radio frequency input circuits.
Step S504, if the number of target radio frequency circuits of which the change amounts of the detection values reach the preset value range is less than the preset number, radio frequency energy is not input into any radio frequency circuit.
Step S505, output impedance values of the radio frequency input circuits are detected; if it is determined that the number of target radio frequency circuits of which the impedance values do not exceed a preset impedance threshold is less than a preset number, output of radio frequency energy is reduced.
The output impedance value of each impedance detection circuit is detected, it is determined whether the impedance values exceed a preset impedance threshold, and the number of target radio frequency circuits of which the impedance values do not exceed the preset impedance threshold is counted. If the target radio frequency circuits of which the impedance values do not exceed the preset impedance threshold is less than the preset number, a frequency of an output radio frequency signal is reduced or a connection between a radio frequency input circuit and the operated object is cut off.

Furthermore, after radio frequency energy is input, it is further possible to detect impedance values of the radio frequency input circuit in real time; if it is detected that the number of target radio frequency circuits of which the impedance values exceed a preset impedance threshold and reach a preset value range is less than a preset number, output radio frequency energy is reduced, so as to reduce risk of damage to the radio frequency host and the operated object, and further improve safety and intelligence of radio frequency operations.
