Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a defibrillator and a defibrillation charging method.

Background

Currently, defibrillators mostly use rechargeable or disposable lithium batteries as a built-in power source. The electric core internal resistance of the disposable lithium battery is large, and the output current is generally less than 1.5A; the maximum output current of a rechargeable lithium battery is larger than that of a disposable lithium battery, but the output current is generally about 2A.

The defibrillator, whether using a disposable lithium battery or a rechargeable lithium battery, has the problem that the voltage and the electric quantity of the battery are reduced along with the prolonging of the use time in the use process. The drop in voltage results in a longer charging time for the defibrillation device. Therefore, in terms of the charging time, a general defibrillator will say that the charging time of the new battery is less than 10 seconds, 7 seconds, 5 seconds and the like before 10 times. As the amount of charge stored in the battery becomes lower, the battery voltage drops and the charge rate slows down until the charge time is greater than the maximum charge time specified by the defibrillator specifications or the device manufacturer declares a charge timeout (typically 30 seconds), at which time the battery has to be discarded.

In order to accelerate the charging time, it is necessary to increase the battery voltage and increase the output current of the battery. Generally, a battery pack for energy storage adopts a combination form that a plurality of battery cells are firstly connected in series to increase voltage and then connected in parallel in a plurality of rows to increase output current. Although the stored electricity quantity and the output current of the battery can be improved in the mode, the service life of the battery is only prolonged, and the problem that the charging time is longer and longer due to the fact that the voltage is reduced and the output current is reduced along with the service life of the battery is not avoided.

In the emergency area, defibrillation therapy is time consuming. The optimal gold rescue time for a patient with cardiac arrest is the first 6 to 8 minutes. The earlier the effective defibrillation treatment is obtained, the higher the success rate of saving the patient is, and the lighter the sequelae of brain and important organ tissue cells due to hypoxia asphyxia death are. Thus, in the case where 3 to 4 defibrillation treatments may be required to resuscitate a patient, particularly in refractory conditions, if the battery of the rescue equipment is in a low state, 20 seconds per charge, 3 treatments take about 7 minutes and a half minutes (5-9 seconds of analysis, 20 seconds of charge, 2 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation); if the fastest rate of 5 to 10 seconds can be achieved with each charge, more than 1 minute can be saved for the fourth treatment. Therefore, the defect that the charging time of the battery pack is prolonged due to the reduction of the voltage caused by the reduction of the electric quantity can be overcome, the treatment rate of the cardiac arrest can be improved, and the emergency treatment method has very important significance in emergency treatment.

Depending on the context, moreover, the word "if" as used may be interpreted as "at … …" or "when … …" or "in response to a determination".

Illustratively, referring to fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of a defibrillator provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown, the defibrillator includes a battery module 10, a charge buffer module 11, a high-voltage charging circuit 12, a high-voltage energy storage capacitor 13, a defibrillation discharging circuit 14, a defibrillation electrode 15, and a main control module 16, wherein,

the output of battery module 10 with the first input of electric quantity buffer module 11 is connected, host system's first input with the second input of electric quantity buffer module 11 is connected, the output of electric quantity buffer module 11 with the first input of high-voltage charging circuit 12 is connected, host system's second output with the second input of high-voltage charging circuit 12 is connected, the input of high-voltage charging circuit 12 with the input of high-voltage energy storage capacitor 13 is connected, the output of high-voltage energy storage capacitor 13 with the input of defibrillation discharge circuit 14 is connected, defibrillation discharge circuit 14's output with defibrillation electrode 15 is connected.

For example, referring to fig. 2, a schematic diagram of a structure of a charge buffering module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, where the charge buffering module 11 includes a charging circuit 110 and a super capacitor bank 111, where,

the output end of the battery module 10 is connected to the input end of the charging circuit 110, the output end of the charging circuit 110 is connected to the input end of the super capacitor bank 111, and the input end of the super capacitor bank 111 is connected to the high-voltage charging circuit 12.

It should be noted that when there are two or more defibrillator charging power supplies in the defibrillator, the protection circuit for preventing reverse current is needed. The anti-reverse current protection circuit is generally implemented by using a high-current PMOS device or an ultra-low-voltage-drop diode. The purpose is to prevent the battery module from being reversely charged when the output voltage of the other power supply is higher than the output voltage of the power supply.

Further, the electric quantity buffer module 11 is used as the battery module 10 of the defibrillator in cooperation with a wireless charging circuit or an external charger.

That is to say, a wireless charging electric quantity or an external charger is configured for the defibrillator, so that the electric quantity of the electric quantity buffer module 11 can be replenished by adopting a wireless or wired charging mode for the electric quantity buffer module 11, at this time, the battery module 10 does not need to be configured on the defibrillator, and the electric quantity buffer module 11 can be directly used as the battery module 10 of the defibrillator.

Furthermore, if the electric quantity configured by the electric quantity buffer module 11 meets the preset requirement, the electric quantity buffer module 11 directly supplies power to the defibrillator as a detachable battery module.

That is, the battery buffer module 11 has a large capacity of storing electric energy, and can be used by the defibrillator for a long time or for multiple times, so that the battery buffer module 11 can be used as a detachable battery module to directly supply power to the defibrillator. In this way, one or more battery buffer modules 11 with sufficient power can be used as backup batteries.

Referring to fig. 3, a detailed flowchart of a defibrillation charging method provided in an embodiment of the present application is exemplarily applied to the defibrillator, and the method includes the following steps:

step 300: after a starting-up instruction is received and starting-up initialization is completed, if the voltage of the super capacitor bank is detected to be lower than a first preset value, charging processing is carried out on the super capacitor bank.

Specifically, the first preset value refers to a set highest voltage (that is, a voltage of the supercapacitor bank in a full-charge state) of the supercapacitor bank, and after the defibrillator is initialized and started, if the main control module detects that the voltage of the supercapacitor bank is lower than the first preset value, a charging circuit connecting the battery module and the supercapacitor bank is used for charging the supercapacitor bank.

In practical application, if the main control module detects that the voltage of the super capacitor bank is lower than the rated voltage in the standby state, the super capacitor bank is charged through a charging circuit which is connected with a power module and the super capacitor bank, and if the main control module detects that the voltage of the super capacitor bank reaches a second preset value, the super capacitor bank is stopped to be charged, wherein the second preset value is smaller than the first preset value.

That is to say, in this embodiment of the application, a second preset value is further set, and in a standby state of the defibrillator, if the main control module detects that the voltage of the super capacitor bank is lower than the rated voltage, the super capacitor bank is charged through a charging circuit connecting the power module and the super capacitor bank until the voltage of the super capacitor bank reaches the second preset value, where the set second preset value is smaller than the first preset value.

Therefore, the voltage of the super capacitor bank can still be constantly kept stable at the second preset value in the standby state of the defibrillator, and after the defibrillator is started, the super capacitor bank is directly charged, so that the super capacitor bank reaches the full-charge state (namely, the voltage reaches the first preset value).

Step 310: and if the voltage of the super capacitor bank is detected to reach a first preset value, or when defibrillation is determined to be needed based on a rhythm analysis result, the super capacitor bank is stopped from being charged.

That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, the trigger condition for stopping charging the supercapacitor set includes:

if the main control module detects that the voltage of the super capacitor bank reaches a first preset value, the super capacitor bank is stopped being charged; alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

the main control module analyzes the hearts collected by the electrocardio collecting module, and if defibrillation is determined to be needed based on a heart rate analysis result, the super capacitor bank is stopped being charged.

For example, if the super capacitor bank is composed of 4 super capacitors of 3.8V connected in series, the rated voltage is 4 × 3.8V — 15.2V, the first preset value is 16.8V (i.e. the voltage value of the super capacitor bank in the full-charge state), and the second preset value is 16V, then the defibrillator will be in the standby state, if the main control module detects that the voltage of the super capacitor bank is lower than 15.2V, the charging of the super capacitor bank is started until the voltage of the super capacitor bank reaches 16V, and the charging of the super capacitor bank is stopped, at this time, if the defibrillator is started and the defibrillator is in a power-on state, if the main control module detects that the voltage of the super capacitor bank is lower than 16.8V, and immediately charging the super capacitor bank, wherein the target voltage is 16.8V, and when the main control module detects that the voltage of the super capacitor bank reaches 16.8V or the result of the rhythm analysis indicates that defibrillation is required, stopping charging the super capacitor bank.

Furthermore, after the defibrillator is shut down after the first aid is finished, the voltage on the super capacitor bank does not exceed 17V, and the super capacitor bank belongs to safe low voltage, so that the stored electric quantity is kept for standby without discharging, and the electric energy is not wasted. The only factor that causes the voltage drop across the bank of ultracapacitors at this time is the internal and external leakage currents of the ultracapacitors. Therefore, the external leakage current can be reduced by selecting the auxiliary element with smaller leakage current and the plate distribution process.

Step 320: and charging the high-voltage energy storage capacitor through a high-voltage charging circuit which is connected with the super capacitor bank and the high-voltage energy storage capacitor until the voltage of the high-voltage energy storage capacitor meets the preset requirement.

Specifically, at this time, the high-voltage energy storage capacitor needs to be charged through a high-voltage charging circuit connecting the super capacitor bank and the high-voltage energy storage capacitor, and electric energy in the super capacitor bank is quickly transferred to the high-voltage energy storage capacitor.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the super capacitor bank may be formed by connecting a plurality of farad super capacitors of 2.7V or 3.8V specification in series and then connecting them in parallel. For example, a super capacitor bank of hundreds farad consisting of 4 sections of 3.8V super capacitors connected in series can be charged and defibrillated for 200J to discharge outside continuously for about 10 times after being fully charged, and when the voltage of the super capacitor bank is as low as 12V, the high-voltage energy storage capacitor cannot be charged through the high-voltage charging circuit. Because the maximum pulse current output by a common disposable lithium battery is 1.5-2A, when the high-voltage energy storage capacitor is charged by the high-voltage charging circuit, the output current of the battery module is small, so that the rapid charging capability of the charging circuit is limited; the pulse output current of the super capacitor bank can reach 15A-20A, even 20A-30A, the electric energy in the super capacitor bank is used for supplying power to the high-voltage charging circuit, the transient charging current can be increased by about 10-20 times, so that the maximum current limiting the charging speed is not an obstacle to shortening the charging time any more, and the charging time can be shortened to 2-4 seconds to finish charging.

In the embodiment of the present application, the super capacitor bank may be implemented by connecting a group of N super capacitors in series, or by connecting M groups of N super capacitors in series and then in parallel. For example, in the case that the capacitance is 112F after 4 super capacitors of 3.8V and 450F are connected in series, the initial voltage of 15V can support 200J of external discharge for 10 times in the case of complementary charging when the discharge reaches 12V, and the initial three-time charging time is several seconds faster than the charging time of a new disposable lithium battery (15V full charge).

In practical application, the primary coil of the high-voltage charging circuit can extract about 20-30A of pulse current from the super capacitor bank, so that the defibrillator can be ensured to finish defibrillation charging within 2-6 seconds; the discharge circuit discharges within 10-60 milliseconds after the defibrillator manually confirms defibrillation. Typically the manual validation time is 0-30 seconds. After the charging of the high-voltage energy storage capacitor is finished, the charging circuit of the buffer battery immediately starts to work again no matter whether the high-voltage energy storage capacitor is discharged or not, namely, the charging operation of the super capacitor bank is continuously executed. In general automatic and semi-automatic defibrillators, after charging is finished, 0-30 seconds of defibrillation time of a waiting key is generated, and then 2 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation time and 5-10 seconds of heart rhythm analysis time are generated. The time of 2 to 3 minutes is the time for the buffer charging circuit to supplement and charge the super capacitor bank, and even if the battery is low in electric quantity, the super capacitor bank can be fully charged in the time. Therefore, when the high-voltage energy storage capacitor needs to be charged next time, the defibrillator can fully charge the high-voltage energy storage capacitor at the fastest charging speed because the super capacitor bank is fully charged.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the super capacitor bank is charged, a preferable implementation manner is that, if it is detected that the voltage of the super capacitor bank is lower than the rated voltage of the super capacitor bank, the super capacitor bank is charged by using a constant current charging manner; and if the voltage of the super capacitor bank is detected to be higher than or equal to the rated voltage of the super capacitor bank and lower than the first preset value, charging the super capacitor bank by adopting a constant voltage mode.

In practical application, because the electric quantity buffer module is not a battery, only a battery module with low current output capacity or an AC-DC or DC-DC direct-current power supply below 8A cannot be provided, according to the characteristic of infrequent continuous charging application, the super capacitor bank for buffering energy storage is subjected to supplementary charging before the high-voltage charging for defibrillation is carried out every time, so that the super capacitor bank can be at the highest voltage and provide the maximum output current when the high-voltage charging circuit works every time, therefore, the high-voltage charging can be in the optimal energy storage state every time, and the charging speed of the high-voltage energy storage capacitor of 2-4 seconds can be realized every time. Therefore, as long as the battery module has enough electric quantity for defibrillation charging for several times, the battery module can achieve charging time faster than that of a new battery module in each defibrillation charging regardless of whether the battery module is a new or old battery module through the action of the electric quantity buffer module.

In the embodiment of the present application, when setting the capacitance of the super capacitor bank, a preferred implementation is that the capacitance of the super capacitor bank is determined according to defibrillation discharge that can complete at least three consecutive maximum discharge energies after the device is fully charged.

Furthermore, in the embodiment of the application, the charging circuit of the super capacitor bank depends on the characteristics of the super capacitor and an instruction manual, and for the super capacitor bank, the optimal charging method is to perform fast charging in a constant current mode by using the maximum allowable charging current, and to perform slow charging in a constant voltage mode after the super capacitor bank is charged to the specified voltage. Since the fully charged voltage of the super capacitor may be higher than the maximum output voltage of the battery module, and the voltage of the battery module is lower and lower as the service time increases, a charging chip in a DC-DC boost form is generally selected to design a charging circuit of the super capacitor bank. The selected charging chip supports a constant-current and constant-voltage working mode.

In other alternative or convertible embodiments of the present application, the defibrillator may directly use the super capacitor bank storing sufficient electric power as the battery module without the conventional lithium battery module 10 (disposable or rechargeable), and the super capacitor has the characteristics of high current output and high current charging, so that the battery module composed of super capacitors can be filled in several minutes to more than ten minutes; whereas the typical charging time of a conventional lithium battery module is several hours. Therefore, the battery module formed by combining the super capacitors can be used as a novel battery module of the defibrillator.

Based on the novel large-electric-quantity super capacitor battery module, an external charger can be configured for use. And as another economic implementation and application mode, a novel super capacitor battery module combined by using small-capacity super capacitors is used. The battery module of the traditional defibrillator is required to provide about 200 times of defibrillation treatment and the electric quantity for 10 hours of electrocardiographic monitoring; and the small-capacity super-capacitor combined battery module is only required to provide the required electric quantity which can maintain defibrillation treatment for about 5 times and continuous electrocardiographic monitoring for 1 hour, so that the number and the capacity of the used super-capacitors can be greatly reduced. The defibrillator of the embodiment uses a wireless charger or a wireless charging defibrillator base or a portable mobile power supply carried with a person to supplement and charge the super capacitor battery module.

The above units may be one or more integrated circuits configured to implement the above methods, for example: one or more Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), or one or more microprocessors (DSPs), or one or more Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), among others. For another example, when one of the above units is implemented in the form of a Processing element scheduler code, the Processing element may be a general-purpose processor, such as a Central Processing Unit (CPU) or other processor capable of calling program code.
