Specifically, when the first sub-control module receives an irradiation instruction of the first irradiation chamber, the first sub-control module queries the control right state of the beam control module, when the first sub-control module queries that the control right of the beam control module is in the state occupied by the second sub-control module, the first sub-control module cannot acquire the control right of the beam control module temporarily, the first sub-control module may query the control right state of the beam control module at intervals of a certain time period, and the control right of the beam control module may not be acquired until the query result shows that the control right of the beam control module is in the release state.

S440: the first sub-control module receives a first irradiation room irradiation stopping instruction input by a user.

In some embodiments, the user may generate the first irradiation chamber irradiation stop instruction by clicking an option in an operation interface of the beam irradiation system to stop irradiating the first irradiation chamber; in other embodiments, the user may directly input an instruction to stop irradiation to the first irradiation chamber, that is, an irradiation stop instruction to the first irradiation chamber; in other embodiments, the first sub-control module may also automatically generate the first irradiation chamber irradiation stop instruction when detecting that the irradiation object is shifted from the target position or the irradiation chamber is completed; the generation process of the irradiation stop instruction of the first irradiation chamber is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

S450: the first sub-control module releases the control right of the beam control module according to the irradiation stop command of the first irradiation chamber.

Specifically, the first sub-control module stops controlling the beam control module according to the irradiation stop instruction of the first irradiation chamber, and completely releases the control right of the beam control module when the beam control module stops working.

According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, any one of the plurality of sub-control modules, such as the first sub-control module or the second sub-control module, controls the beam generating device through the beam control module to emit beams to the corresponding irradiation chamber, so that the first sub-control module in the system control module controls the first irradiation chamber, the second sub-control module controls the second irradiation chamber, and when the first sub-control module is in a maintenance state or cannot perform irradiation when software and hardware are damaged, the second sub-control module can be used for controlling the second irradiation chamber, and further, the influence on normal working progress caused by the fact that a single control module cannot perform irradiation when the single control module is in the maintenance state or the software and hardware are damaged is avoided. In addition, one beam control module is controlled by a plurality of sub-control modules such as the first sub-control module and the second sub-control module, so that the cost of the beam irradiation system is reduced.

In some embodiments, the user may select to have the first irradiation chamber enter a preparation, i.e. generate a first irradiation chamber preparation instruction, at an operator interface of the beam irradiation system. In other embodiments, the instruction for the first irradiation chamber to enter the preparation operation, which is directly input by the user on the operation interface of the beam irradiation system, is a preparation instruction for the first irradiation chamber. The generation process of the first irradiation chamber preparation instruction is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The first irradiation room preparation instruction may include an instruction for specifying a bed placement or an irradiation body positioning, and the type of the first irradiation room preparation instruction is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

S470: the first sub-control module controls the first irradiation chamber to finish the preparation work before irradiation according to the first irradiation chamber preparation instruction.

The first sub-control module may be directly connected to the first irradiation chamber to control the first irradiation chamber to complete the preparation before irradiation according to the first irradiation chamber preparation instruction, or indirectly connected to the first irradiation chamber to control the first irradiation chamber to complete the preparation before irradiation according to the first irradiation chamber preparation instruction. The preparation work may include bed position placement or irradiation body positioning, and the content of the preparation work is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the invention, before the first sub-control module receives the first irradiation room irradiation instruction input by the user or under the condition that the control right of the beam control module is in the state of being occupied by the second sub-control module, the first sub-control module controls the first irradiation room to finish the preparation work before irradiation according to the received first irradiation room preparation instruction input by the user, so that the preparation work is finished before the first irradiation room is irradiated, and the utilization rate of the beam irradiation system and the working efficiency of a user operating the beam irradiation system are improved.

The system control module further comprises a data interconnection sharing module, wherein the data interconnection sharing module is connected with the first sub-control module and the second sub-control module, the first sub-control module and the second sub-control module are respectively connected with the beam control module, and the control method further comprises steps S510 and S520.

S510: the first sub-control module receives a judgment result that the data interconnection sharing module judges that the control right of the beam control module is in a released or occupied state.

Specifically, the data interconnection sharing module judges whether the control right of the beam control module is in a release state or an occupied state, the data interconnection sharing module sends a judgment result of judging whether the control right of the beam control module is in the release state or the occupied state to the first sub-control module, and the first sub-control module receives the judgment result.

S520: the first sub-control module determines whether to obtain the control right of the beam control module according to the judgment result.

Specifically, when the judgment result is that the control right of the beam control module is in the release state, the first sub-control module determines that the control right of the beam control module can be obtained according to the judgment result; when the judgment result is that the control right of the beam control module is in an occupied state, the first sub-control module determines that the control right of the beam control module cannot be obtained according to the judgment result.

According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the first sub-control module receives the judgment result that the data interconnection sharing module judges that the control right of the beam control module is in a released or occupied state, and the first sub-control module determines whether to obtain the control right of the beam control module according to the judgment result, so that the accurate judgment of the control right of the beam control module through the data interconnection sharing module is realized, and the first sub-control module is favorable for obtaining the control right of the beam control module.
