Fig. 1 illustrates a health care delivery system 50 according to present disclosure.This health care Delivery system 50 can be connected to an AC mains supply 52 via a plug 54, or This health care delivery system 50 can be connected to one or more battery 56.Such as, this doctor When treatment care delivery system 50 is static, (such as in ward) this system 50 can be connected to this Mains supply 52.Alternately, when this health care delivery system 50 moves with patient, or When a power supply (such as mains supply 52) is the most unavailable (when this it is that is, When system 50 is not connected to a substitute electric power), this system 50 can be connected to one or many Individual battery 56.
Battery 56 can be that (such as from Yuasa company, (Japan's soup is shallow for valve-control type lead-acid accumulator Electronics Co., Ltd) available #MD12020) form.So, unlike utilizing intelligence recently Battery specification (the Smart Battery specification) and the battery that designs, battery 56 Charged state and health status are not readily determined by the user of battery 56 or to battery 56 It not available for user.Lack the information of the state being related to battery 56 to surplus The calculating of remaining electricity is more complicated, because the information about the charged state of this battery is not ready-made. When being used together with this type of battery, although following system and method can have concrete advantage, It should be recognized that this system and method and other kinds of battery be used together be still favourable.
Associate with one or more batteries 56 is a battery management system 60.Although cell tube Reason system 60 is shown as together with battery 56 being arranged in a common housing 62 in FIG, But this is only an embodiment according to present disclosure.Such as, battery management system 60 can be put Put in one with the separate housing of battery 56, and then this assembly can be connected to battery 56 Or associate with battery 56 otherwise.
As shown in Fig. 1 and 2, battery management system 60 includes a display unit 64. In the embodiment of this displaying, in addition to relating to the information of battery 56 or battery management system 60, Display unit 64 can also be utilized the information showing medical care provider by system 50.So And, according to other embodiments, display unit 64 can be exclusively used in battery management system 60, and Only display relates to the information of battery management system 60.
As show in Figure 2, battery management system 60 includes that is connected to a display unit 64 Controller 66.Controller 66 can include a processor 68, memorizer 70 and input / output interface 72.Memorizer 70 can be read only memory (ROM) and random access memory is deposited The form of reservoir (RAM).This ROM can take many multi-forms, including erasable Programming ROM (EPROM) and electrically erasable ROM(EEPROM).This Outward, in order to alleviate diagram, interface 72 has been illustrated as an input/output interface;It should be understood that Interface 72 can be to be the form of isolated system, and one is exclusively used in input and another is exclusively used in defeated Go out.
Controller 66 is programmed to perform the battery management method according to the present invention.Specifically, control Device 66 processed can be programmed to perform the electric discharge of battery 56 and recharge, for battery 56, The most limited amount can use with the information of health status about the charged state of battery 56, although should recognize Knowledge is arrived, and it can be also used for other situations.For side battery 56 discharged Yu recharge Method can according to battery 56 and health care delivery system 50(specifically, its power consumption condition) Conservative modeling run, although do not have conservative modeling it can also run.Additionally, this Method can provide a value being known as remaining battery time (TROB) at this, and this value is direct Associating with time passage, this time, passage was as by the timer associated with controller 66 or by controlling The timing function that device 66 performs is determined.Therefore, this TROB is referred to as deterministic, Because it uses timer determine time passage and will be flowed by the time of this timer measuring The ability with this battery lasting concrete time quantum of one carrying out practically state of execution that dies associates; This can provide battery life with the sensor parameter (such as voltage) using this battery The existing system of estimation contrast.And, can strive with the method recharged for electric discharge Take strictly encouragement user behavior so that battery 56 can discharge in such a way With recharge, wherein when for this user provide this TROB in terms of unit of time (the least Time, minute or even second) visible instruction time a high confidence level can be maintained (such as, super Cross 90%, and according to some embodiment, more than 95%).So, it should be appreciated that should TROB can use in conjunction with the modeling of this conservative according to some embodiment, and implements according to other Example can be used separately with the modeling of this conservative.
That is, according to the regular medication care delivery device combining battery management, it is provided that one Indicator gives the user of this health care delivery device, to indicate three kinds of states (such as with green Lamp, amber light and red light) one of exist.When this health care delivery system 50 is by these batteries During power supply, these three state can be entered according to the voltage levvl of a sensing across these batteries Row determines.Although this user can be therefore, it is possible to distinguish the delivery dress with fully charged battery The delivery apparatus put and there is partially or completely discharge battery, but such a system does not allows This user determines the battery using this association with any confidence level, and this medical delivery device can With the time quantum run.It is true that because conventional method uses the voltage of sensing and because of this A little voltages depend on delivery rate (such as, a kind of flowing of the health care delivery system of association Speed, wherein this system includes a single channel or multichannel pump), battery temperature, And the charge/discharge cycle number that this battery has been carried out, so time when different alarm occurs Can change with the life-span of this battery.Under such conditions, whether meeting is it is impossible to confirm that remain Electricity allows movement and health care delivery system (such as a, pump and the pump of association of patient Controller) from ward to the movement in another region of this medical health facility, be such as used for giving Medical treatment test, when this during this medical health system the battery of association must be used to run.
To this end, battery management system 60(and specifically, controller 66) it is programmed so that one Individual display provides the visible instruction of this TROB on a display so that this user Can by this TROB with transfer patient required for time compare, such as, and such as If really this transfer then can be made decision with existing equipment or need other equipment to attempt. And, battery management system 60 can use a kind of method, and the method makes this user with so A kind of mode uses these batteries so that avoid such behavior: can coerce 56 to one, battery The TROB being wherein shown to this user cannot rely on the point of a high confidence level.
According to some embodiment of present disclosure, then controller 66 can be programmed to perform one Method, the method can include following effect, although as explained below, but the method also may be used To include that other act on.Specifically, controller 66 can be programmed to: determines when this medical treatment Care delivery system is connected with these one or more batteries, when this health care delivery system is connected It is connected to during this one or more battery to control at the beginning of this display unit shows one of corresponding TROB Begin numeral (this TROB according to the conservative of these one or more batteries and this system model into Row determines), and determine whether that this TROB is in extension and rises to a memory range maximum A memory range within, this memory range maximum be less than TROB maximum.Controller 66 can also be programmed to: if this TROB is more than this memory range maximum, then according to being somebody's turn to do The running status of health care delivery system changes this TROB, and if this TROB little In this memory range maximum, the most do not consider that the running status of this health care delivery system drops This TROB low.
By modeling according to conservative (specifically about circulating battery (period), put Electro-temperature and discharge voltage are modelings of conservative) these batteries are discharged, It is one or more that system 60 can provide in following benefit.Such as, a conservative modeling can It is supplied to mono-high confidence of TROB with auxiliary.And, by limiting this discharge voltage, when with When one system 60 allowing battery 56 to be discharged to the point that conventional system is allowed compares, can To avoid or at least to limit the possible infringement to these batteries.
And, battery management system 60 can also include being connected with controller 66 and with one Or multiple batteries 56 attachable charging unit 80.Controller 66 can be programmed to further: Starting this charger when this medical health system is connected to line voltage is these one or more electricity Charging in pond, and increases for this TROB according to the state that recharges of these one or more batteries One the first increment or increase to this TROB maximum.
By perform to provide a limited number of discontinuous increase in this TROB charging (or Recharging, the two term will be interchangeably used at this, unless the context otherwise suggests), System 60 can provide one or more following benefit.To a limited number of increase of TROB or Give back and can promote that each stage that a high confidence recharges process with this associates.By providing The most a limited number of giving back, this system can also limit this user and put for these batteries continuously Electricity and the ability of charging, because this user will not be able to estimate this TROB accurately, unless A limited number of discontinuously giving back with system 60 permission.Therefore, this method encourages this use Person does not uses battery 56 in charge/discharge range of operation, is wherein recharging filling of period generation Electricity electric current is high.Alternatively, this user is encouraged to keep this health care the most frequently Delivery system is connected with mains supply.It is true that think when producing with the use modeled by conservative When the restriction of raw cell discharge voltage combines, the use limiting high electric current can be by cell damage Reduce a significant amount, such as 75%.
The most so explain health care delivery system 50, battery management system 60, Their interaction and the operation of battery management system 60, now explanation system 50,60 The structure of illustrative embodiment and being discussed more fully of operation, with reference to Fig. 1 and 2, and also join Examine Fig. 3 and 4.Specifically, Fig. 3 illustrates a kind of associated for management with system 50 Or the method 150 of the electric discharge of multiple battery 56, and Fig. 4 illustrate a kind of for management one or The method 250 of the charging of multiple batteries 56.
Along with controller 66 determines that health care delivery system 50 is connected to battery 56, method 150 Start from frame 152.If this TROB is equal to a TROB minima, then controller 66 is right After frame 154 make one originally determined.According to some embodiment, this TROB minima can To be zero minutes.According to other embodiments, this TROB minima can be set to one non- Zero amount.But, making in frame 154 if this determines: at frame 154, this TROB is equal to being somebody's turn to do TROB minima, then the method advances to frame 158 and 160, and its middle controller 66 starts one Individual audible alarm 82 with remind this TROB of this user equal to this TROB minima, and And control display 64 shows that a visible alarm message is to remind this TROB of this user to be equal to This TROB minima.Controller 66 can according to frame 156 and 158(its can be simultaneously Carry out rather than with order as demonstrated) (this can set in advance to run a lasting period Put or determine), such as 10 seconds.After this period, controller 66 can make health care Delivery system 50 is closed or power-off.
If controller 66 determines on the contrary: at frame 154, this TROB is not equal to this TROB Little value, controller 66 can carry out one or more determining, wherein this TROB and one or many Individual scope or threshold value compare.Once controller 66 is made and being determined, controller 66 can be permitted Permitted the ability that (or restriction) system 50 changes between different running statuses, to cause this TROB Change, and audible or visible alarm can be caused to be supplied to this user, or even draw Play system 50 to close or power-off.Although the embodiment of the method shown in Fig. 3 can provide four kinds This type of scope or threshold value determine, however, it is understood that be not each enforcement according to present disclosure Example all will include each, and this type of determines.
Such as, if this TROB is more than to (its referred to here as storage of a concrete value scope Scope) maximum that sets, then controller 66 according to the operation of method 150 by permission system 50 The change of running status to affect this TROB.On this scope (or this threshold value, On this memory range maximum), method 150 can do other determination, and these determine finger The character determining shown information or other features of the operation affecting system 50, but cell tube A running status according to system 50 is changed this TROB by reason system 60.Similarly, exist Within the scope of this (or under this memory range maximum), method 150 can be done additionally Determination, these determine the alarm or shown information that appointment provided, but battery management The running status not considering this health care delivery system is reduced this TROB by system 60.So And, although the embodiment shown can provide multiple threshold value to determine, but implements according to other Example can be made a single threshold value on the contrary about this memory range and determine.
According to some embodiment according to system 60 of present disclosure, this TROB has with reference to relevant Effect battery capacity, anticipated TROB(or PTROB) and the one of this memory range maximum Individual or multiple equations, with one or more forms, (it is the conservative of battery 56 and system 50 Property modeling product) and be determined.Such as, controller 66 can be programmed to according to following Equation (equation 1) determines effective battery capacity (with percent) of each second:
CAP=CAP PCF*(1/3600), wherein
CAP is effective battery capacity (exceeding the amount provided needed for this memory range capacity);And And
PCF is that active power consumes the factor.
For a full charge of battery, this available capacity is initially set to equal to 100%.Should It is conservative based on to battery 56 and health care delivery system 50 that active power consumes the factor Property modeling and determine.Can represent by multiple forms although this active power consumes the factor, But this factor provides in a tabular form according to some embodiment, for a limited number of delivery Each in scope determines a different factor.Such as, it is an infusion pump in system 50
In the case of pump controller, following table may be used for a single channel pump:
Alternately, following table may be used for a multi-channel pump:
During preparing this table, this modeling includes the fortune below in relation to battery 56 with system 50 Row it is assumed that wherein power consumption maximization and battery capacity minimizes:
1. suppose a conventional low ambient temperature (15C) so that consuming and maximizing;
2. suppose that a conventional low-running-temperature (38C) to battery is so that capacity minimizes;
3. suppose that a conventional charge/discharge high period (such as, 50-70) is so that capacity Minimize;
4. suppose the highest flow rate in each scope so that consuming and maximizing;And
5. suppose that the charge/discharge cycle of an off discharge voltage with 11V is so that capacity Minimize.
Additionally, this modeling supposes: enough battery capacities can be stored with offer system 50 formerly Operation in during the front period being referred to as memory range.For this period, it is made that other Assuming so that consuming maximization, these hypothesis include:
The most all passages (wherein having multichannel) run with the highest delivery (flowing) speed;And And
2. the unit of display 64 runs (be generally assumed to be and run with 10% backlight) with 50% backlight.
Knowledge based on this effective battery capacity (CAP), below electric current TROB can use Equation (equation 2) is determined:
CTROB=PTROB*CAP+RRM, wherein
CTROB is electric current TROB;
PTROB is according to the delivery rate (such as, flow rate) provided by system 50, The anticipated TROB obtained from table provided above;
CAP is effective battery capacity;And
RRM is memory range maximum (being 30 minutes in this case).
It is then assumed that controller 66 determines in frame 154: this TROB is not equal to this TROB Minima (such as, zero minutes), then method 150 can proceed to frame 162, wherein controls Device 66 determines whether that this TROB has exceeded a first threshold amount.If this TROB exceedes This first threshold amount, then method 150 is carried out to frame 164, and controller 66 makes display Unit 64 shows that a visual alert is to this user: system 50 is using battery operation power. According to some embodiment, this can also by an audible to alarm complete.Method 150 Then advancing to frame 166, its middle controller 66 makes the unit of display 64 provide battery life to remain One instruction digitized, visible of hourage.Although this sight indicator can per second or Per minute successively decrease, but controller 66 can determine that this indicator only should the most only become on the contrary Change once.
After performing frame 166, the controller 66 according to method 150 programming can be at frame 168 In make the determination whether having been received by the input from this user about system 50, this is defeated Enter the decision of the running status representing a change system 50.Such as, it it is one in system 50 In the case of the pump medical fluid delivery system with pump controller, this user can input One new infusion protocols, this program is more higher or lower than the infusion rates that system 50 provides at present. Make in frame 168 if this determines: this input is received, then system 60 can receive pass The data that running status in frame 170 changes, and can change and the operation in frame 172 State changes the TROB being consistent.It is, if carried out programming one to higher flow rate Change, then this TROB can be lowered, and a change to lower flow rate is permissible TROB is caused to increase.
On the other hand, if controller 66 determine in its frame 162 this TROB less than this first Threshold quantity (such as, one hour), then controller 66 determines that in frame 174 this TROB is No it is less than a Second Threshold amount, specifically this memory range maximum.As an example, This memory range maximum can be set as 30 minutes.If this controller determines this TROB Not less than this memory range maximum, then controller 66 proceeds to frame 176.
In frame 176, controller 66 make the unit of display 64 show a visual alert give should User: system 50 has come into a limited battery power scope (such as, one hour And the TROB between 30 minutes).According to some embodiment, this can also be arrived by an audible Alarm complete.Method 150 then advancees to frame 178, and its middle controller 66 makes display Unit 64 provide battery life residue hourage one of (such as, hour) digitized, Visible instruction.Although this sight indicator can per second or per minute successively decrease, but controller 66 can determine that this indicator only should only show once on the contrary.
It is similar to frame 168, after performing frame 178, according to the controller of method 150 programming 66 can make in frame 180 about system 50 whether have been received by from this user defeated The determination entered, this input represents the decision of the running status of a change system 50.If this is true Be scheduled in frame 180 and make: this input is received, then system 60 can receive about frame 182 In the data that change of running status, and can change and running status in frame 184 changes The TROB being consistent.
Carry out further, if controller 66 determines that in frame 174 this TROB is less than this storage Scope maximum, then method 150 proceeds to frame 186, wherein with reference to a 3rd threshold quantity (example As, five minutes) make one and determine.Make this to compare to allow for this user The staged of alarm is carried out;According to substitutability embodiment, make the 3rd threshold ratio and relatively or go back The subsequently the 4th shown compares and is not intended to or unnecessary.But, make to be supplied to this The staged probability carrying out limiting fortuitous event of user's alarm, can set up multiple threshold value.
If this controller determines that in frame 186 this TROB is in five minutes to halfhour Within the scope of, then method 150 proceeds to frame 188, and its middle controller 66 makes the unit of display 64 Show that a visual alert is to this user: system 50 comes into a low battery electric power scope (such as, the TROB between five minutes and 30 minutes).According to some embodiment, this also may be used With by an audible to alarm complete.Method 150 then advancees to frame 190, wherein controls Device 66 processed makes the unit of display 64 provide battery life to remain the number of minutes (such as, 30 minutes) An instruction digitized, visible.Although this sight indicator can per minute successively decrease, But controller 66 can determine that this indicator only should show with five minutes increments on the contrary.
It is similar to frame 168, after performing frame 190, according to the controller of method 150 programming 66 can make in frame 192 about system 50 whether have been received by from this user defeated The determination entered, this input represents the decision of the running status of a change system 50.If this is true Be scheduled in frame 192 and make: this input is received, then system 60 still can receive about frame 194 In running status change data.But, because health care delivery system 50 is deposited at one Run in the range of storage, so controller 66 changes phase by not changing with the running status in frame 196 The TROB met.Alternatively, controller 66 continues to successively decrease this TROB and do not consider this medical treatment The running status of care delivery system.Continuation is provided TROB to this user by controller 66 Not considering the running status of health care delivery system 50, this TROB is in this storage model simultaneously Within enclosing.
