Make a detailed description below in conjunction with the embodiment of accompanying drawing the external power supply spinal cord stimulation of implanted of the present invention device.
Shown in Figure 1 is a kind of external power supply type implantation medical instrument, comprises implantation medical instrument 1, external controller 2 and palm PC 3, i.e. PDA.PDA is an optional equipment, when need monitoring or change body and be implanted into the running parameter of Medical Instruments, the doctor just inserts by serial port, it carries out transfer of data by external controller and intravital implantation medical instrument, and external controller is powered by the mode of electromagnetic coupled for body is implanted into Medical Instruments simultaneously.External controller 2 is the communication interface equipment that PDA and body are implanted into Medical Instruments on the one hand, also is the power supply unit of pulse generator in the body on the other hand.PDA communicates by letter with external controller 2 and uses serial communication; External controller 2 and body are implanted into Medical Instruments 1 and communicate by letter and use PPM radio communication modulation system, and the mode of electromagnetic coupled is used in power supply.Implantation medical instrument 1 internal circuit partly uses biocompatibility metal to encapsulate, and the coil of antenna then uses the biocompatibility organic material to encapsulate, and is positioned at outside the metal capsul.
As shown in Figure 2, external controller 2 comprisesfirst microcontroller 5,audible alarm unit 11, externalsignal radiating circuit 6, externalsignal receiving circuit 7, externally fedcircuit 8,exterior antenna 9 andpower supply 10,exterior antenna 9 can adopt the coil of one or more band magnetic cores.Body is implanted into Medical Instruments and comprises insideantenna 12, internalsignal radiating circuit 13, internalsignal receiving circuit 14, in-line power circuit 15, energy-storage units 16, thesecond microcontrollers 17 and electricity irritation/physiological signal detecting unit 18.External controller 2 and body are implanted into and communicate byexterior antenna 9 and insideantenna 12 between the Medical Instruments 1 and power.
As shown in Figure 3, the typical power supply of external power supply type implantation medical instrument, communication sequential comprise the stages such as externally transmitting 19, transmit 23 in the body in receivedsignal 22, the body, receive in the external receivedsignal 20,external VTIC 21, body power supply 24.When external PDA disconnected, then the major function of external controller was power supply, had the function that receives the power supply energy size of the outer emission of parameter control agent according to the power supply of body internal feedback simultaneously concurrently; When PDA inserted, external controller had programming and function of supplying power simultaneously.External controller is fixed on body and is implanted into the Medical Instruments top, start the external controller in back and at first call in the last best power supply parameter of preserving automatically, then by externally fedcircuit 8 andexterior antenna 9 beginning VTICs, body is implanted into Medical Instruments and receives the externally fed energy by insideantenna 12 and in-line power circuit 15, and by energy-storage units 16 electric weight is stored.Behind the external controller VTIC certain hour interval, be implanted into the Medical Instruments emission by externalsignal radiating circuit 6 andexterior antenna 9 to body and enter the session instruction.The session director data carries out the PPM coding byfirst microcontroller 5, produces corresponding driving pulse-triggeredexternal emission circuit 6 by the PWM port.If externalsignal receiving circuit 7 does not receive feedback signal at the appointed time, then need proceed VTIC.When the electric weight of energy-storage units 16 reaches the required power ofsecond microcontroller 17 and accessory circuit thereof,microcontroller 17 is started working, the energy that innerpower supply circuits 15 are received is sampled, judge, power consumption situation in conjunction with electricity irritation unit and/or detecting signal unit generates current power supply reception parameter simultaneously, after receiving external session instruction, current power supply is received parameter carry out the PPM coding bymicrocontroller 17, and send corresponding PWM driving pulse according to coding result, trigger internalsignal radiating circuit 13, internalsignal radiating circuit 13 produces corresponding PPM pulse, and the PPM reference carrier frequency is designed to 120-200KHz; The PPM impulse waveform of implantation medical equipment emission is the damped oscillation pulse.External controller 2 receives above-mentioned PPM signal by externalsignal receiving circuit 7 andexterior antenna 9, and decodes byfirst microcontroller 5, obtains power supply and receives parameter.If power supplying efficiency improves or body is implanted into Medical Instruments power consumption and reduces, it is excessive that power supply this moment receives parameter indication power supply intensity, and then external controller 2 reduces emitted energies by first microcontroller, 5 control externally fedcircuit 8; If power supplying efficiency reduces or body is implanted into the increase of Medical Instruments power consumption, it is too small that power supply receives parameter indication power supply intensity, and the externally fed circuit then can increase emitted energy.When if external controller emitted energy reaches the maximum that is limited, power supply reception parameter still indicates power supply intensity too small in the body, then provides warning byaudible alarm unit 11, and prompting patient body outer controller has exceeded normal range of operation, needs to adjust the position.
In addition, power supply receives the temperature that can also comprise implantation medical instrument in the parameter, provides prompting and restriction power supply energy size to the user when temperature is too high.
External controller is also preserved adjusting the back running parameter when running parameter is adjusted, gives tacit consent to it and is optimum working parameter.
Aforesaid way is the preferred embodiment of the present invention, for those skilled in the art, on external power supply implantation medical equipment disclosed by the invention basis, be easy to expect being applied to other implantation medical equipment system, and be not limited only to the described system structure of the specific embodiment of the invention, therefore previously described mode is just preferred, and does not have restrictive meaning.
