Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of electrode type electrocautery instruments.

Background

Most of the high-frequency fulguration instruments are used for ablation and necrosis of tissues in the current practical use. Many of the radio frequency cosmetic techniques currently on the market are products evolved from the original high frequency electrocautery. The technology is realized by changing the structure and energy of the electrode, the energy is loaded on the skin of a human body, when high-frequency current flows through tissues, joule heat is generated, and three-space-too-chain is broken by utilizing collagen at about 45-50 ℃. The collagen is subjected to cell recombination, the elasticity of the cells is improved, the collagen regeneration is promoted, and simultaneously, the dermis layer is stimulated to secrete more new collagen fibers for regeneration. However, many beauty devices adopting the technology of the high-frequency electrocautery are on the market at present, and the reliability of the products has risks, such as impedance reduction caused by temperature rise in the working process and high instantaneous energy, so that patients feel uncomfortable and have acupuncture feeling and can burn skin.

As in the patent application CN109498996A, the emphasis is placed on phase design between multiple electrodes to control uniform heating. When the number of the electrodes is fixed, the phase angle is completely fixed, on one hand, although energy output exists between any two electrodes in the mode, although energy output also exists between two electrodes far away from each other, when the two electrodes far away from each other act on a human body, impedance parameters at two ends are much larger than those between two electrodes near to each other, so that uniform heating of a region cannot be achieved in the case, and the reliability problem still exists. On the other hand, the patent application does not consider the existence of parasitic parameters and can not maximize the efficiency. The arrangement of the angle alone cannot achieve uniform heating in the region of action.

Detailed Description

The following describes embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the variable phase array electrode device provided by the present invention includes an upper computer, an electrode module (shown as an electrode output port in fig. 2), a voltage sampling circuit (shown as a voltage transformer in fig. 2), a current sampling circuit (shown as a current transformer in fig. 2), a multiplier, a temperature detection circuit, a main controller, a driving circuit, an impedance matching circuit, and a voltage amplitude modulation module.

As shown in fig. 1, the electrode module includes a central common electrode P0 and several peripheral electrodes P1 to PN uniformly arranged around the common electrode P0 (N is the number of peripheral electrodes, and N is 6 in this embodiment); the two peripheral electrodes and the connection between each peripheral electrode and the common electrode are used for connecting a load to form a load end.

The upper computer is used for setting the phase difference output between the electrodes and the output energy level.

The main controller is used for generating a driving signal with a certain frequency and a voltage amplitude modulation instruction according to preset parameters, so that the driving circuit generates a driving signal with a certain amplitude; controlling the impedance matching circuit according to the calculating multiplier and the voltage and current sampling value to complete the impedance matching circuit; the driving signal is loaded to a load end through an impedance matching circuit; and then further adjusting to form a closed loop adjustment according to the feedback parameter of the load. The main controller generates a voltage amplitude modulation instruction through the voltage amplitude modulation module.

The impedance matching circuit is used for matching parasitic inductance and/or parasitic capacitance existing in the circuit, so that the reactance Z of a load end is R0; where R0 is the actual impedance at the load side.

As shown in fig. 1, the distance between each peripheral electrode and the common electrode is equal, and the distance between two adjacent peripheral electrodes is also equal. The initial phase angle of the electrode of P1 and the voltage of the common point P0 is 0, and then the phase angle is increased by 360 degrees/N once; in addition, the radius of the electrode is r, the distance between two peripheral electrodes is L1, the distance between P0 and PN is L2, and the current between P0 and P1 is I, and it is noted that the distance between the electrodes is smaller than or equal to the radius of the electrode in order to achieve the actual therapeutic effect in the treatment area, the specific principle is as follows: the basic rf, Physics, Safety, and aesthetic applications described in journal of the cosmetology skin science society, 2015, volume 2, pages 1-22 (cane Irvine Duncan, Michael krein. basic radio frequency: Physics and Safety and Application to aesthesia. this patent cites the Bipolar radio frequency Systems of this document. this article states that tissue response to Bipolar rf can be demonstrated by thermal experiments using porcine tissue for in vitro studies. The distance between the electrodes is about the size of the electrodes or less, the penetration depth is about half of the distance between the electrodes, and the distributed energy is uniform. As the inter-electrode distance increases, the rf energy distribution becomes non-uniform and most of the heat is concentrated near the electrode surface. The bipolar geometry given in this document is one in which the two electrodes are the same size, 10 mm, and the distance between them is 10 mm. The hot zone was located between the electrodes and had a uniform distribution to a depth of 5 mm. For bipolar geometries, the distance between the electrodes is about the size of the electrodes or less, and the penetration depth is about half the distance between the electrodes. As the inter-electrode distance increases, the rf energy distribution becomes non-uniform and most of the heat is concentrated near the electrode surface. Therefore, in order to uniformly heat the two electrodes, the distance between the electrodes and the size relationship of the electrodes must be controlled.

Thus, the energy between the spaced electrodes is substantially ineffective in treating the tissue between the electrodes, which is a small percentage of thermal equilibrium. The effect of uniform heating can be achieved by only considering the electrical parameters between P0 and PN and the electrical parameters between the peripheral adjacent electrodes. In this embodiment, the peripheral electrodes are all circular electrodes with the same size and have a radius of r; the distance L1 between the two peripheral electrodes is less than or equal to 2 r; the distance L2 between the peripheral electrode and the common electrode is less than or equal to 2 r.

Taking an array structure composed of the peripheral 6 electrode and the central electrode P0 as an example, P0 is a common electrode, the potential is 0, Pn outputs a high-frequency sine wave with an effective value U, and assuming that the phase angle of P1 is 0 °, the voltages of the peripheral electrode and the central P0 electrode can be expressed as:ψ is 360 °/N, and a is the amplitude of the voltage.

Assuming that the electrical conductivity of the tissue is ρ and the resistance R is L ρ, the value of the voltage between the peripheral electrode and P0 is equal, so that the value of the current I between P0 and the peripheral electrode is U/R, and the amount of heat generated between P0 and the peripheral electrode is equal regardless of the influence of other parameters, and further, since the peripheral electrodes are arranged in an equiangular distribution, the value of the voltage between any adjacent peripheral electrodes is equal to

When N is 6, the sequential angles are 360 °/6 and 60 ° are increased, so that the energy generated by the P1- > P2, P2- > P3, P3- > P4 and P5- > P6 electrodes acting on the load end is the same in the same period.

The above conclusion is achieved in an ideal situation, but in a practical situation, the situation is not so ideal, the voltage value reaching the load end is different between any two electrodes due to the inductance L on the wiring harness and the parasitic capacitance C between the wires, which also causes uneven heating of the area type, and in order to solve the defect, an impedance matching circuit is added in the embodiment to overcome the influence of the parasitic parameters. As shown in fig. 3, the impedance matching circuit includes a first module and a second module connected in parallel with the first module; the first module comprises n first lines which are connected in parallel, and each first line comprises a first matching resistor and a matching capacitor; switches are arranged at two ends of the first circuit, the same end of each of two adjacent first matching resistors is also provided with a switch, and one end of each of two adjacent matching capacitors is also provided with a switch; the second module comprises n second lines which are connected in parallel, each second line comprises a second matching resistor, and each second line is provided with a switch; where n is the number of peripheral electrodes.

When parasitic capacitance C exists_{And are}At the time of L, adjust_LnSo thatTo match the parasitic capacitance; wherein L is_LnThe inductance value of the second matching resistor on the nth second line.

As shown in fig. 4, the main controller is used to control the multiplier and the impedance matching circuit to complete impedance matching.

The voltage sampling circuit and the current sampling circuit are both connected with the multiplier; the voltage sampling circuit is used for measuring the voltage of the load end; the current sampling circuit is used for measuring the current of the load end; the multiplier is used for measuring active power in the circuit.

And referring to fig. 4 again, the process of determining whether the impedance matching is completed is to determine that parasitic parameters exist in the circuit when the voltage waveform acquired by the voltage sampling circuit and the voltage waveform of the current sampling circuit have a phase difference. Wherein, whether a parasitic capacitance or a parasitic inductance exists in the circuit is judged by adjusting the matching value respectively. If the parameter phase angle of the second line is adjusted to be smaller, the existence of the parasitic capacitance can be judged, and if not, the existence of the parasitic inductance is judged. And when the phase angle between the voltage waveform collected by the voltage sampling circuit and the voltage waveform of the current sampling circuit is zero, judging that the impedance matching is finished. The above embodiment can realize uniform heating of the region where the load is located by combining the matrix phase arrangement between the electrodes and the impedance matching.

The invention embodies a number of methods and approaches to this solution and the foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications should also be construed as the protection scope of the present invention. All the components not specified in the present embodiment can be realized by the prior art.
