摘要:
A method for indirectly sensing absolute position of a mechanical output device (18) of an electromechanical (EM) system (40) is disclose. In an exemplary embodiment, the method includes detecting the location of a reference point (26) established within a defined range of travel of the mechanical output device (18), and tracking a relative position of the mechanical output device (18) through the movement of an electromotive actuator (20) within the EM system (40). The absolute position of the mechanical output device (18) is determined by comparison of the tracked relative position of the mechanical output device (18) to the established reference point (26).

A surgical system, adapted to operate with at least one surgical device, has a handpiece containing a motor which is adapted to receive the surgical device. The surgical device is driven through a continum of positions by the motor output shaft. A controller microprocessor (16) controls the operation of the system. The motor has sensors for generating electrical position signals (22) and the controller (16) is responsive to input signals for defining both a stop position and a reversal position for the surgical device. As a result, the controller (16) initiates operation of the surgical device at the so-called stop position and stops operation of the surgical device so that it comes to rest substantially at the stop position. In an oscillatory mode of operation, the controller (16) also forces reversals to occur solely at a reversal position dictated by the system, under the control of the user. In connection with an arthroscopic cutting device, the control enables the surgeon to control, for example, the opening of the aperture through which tissue and fluids are removed from the surgical site during the reversal and start/stop conditions.

A positioning controller includes a gear mechanism having a rotating gear for positioning a movable member, a brushless motor to drive the rotating gear, and a motor control circuit to rotate a rotor of the brushless motor by sequentially supplying a driving pulse to a plurality of fixed coils of the brushless motor. The motor control circuit includes a present stage number detector to detect a present stage number of the movable member in accordance with an output signal from a magneto-sensitive device of the brushless motor, and a driving pulse generator to generate a driving pulse to rotate the rotor until a target stage number converted from a specified position of the movable member is equal to the present stage number. The controller in an apparatus including a motor driving unit allows positioning of the movable member without using a component for the detection of the position of the movable member.

In an oscillatory mode of operation, the controller also forces reversals to occur at a reversal position dictated by the system, under the control of the user, unless a stall condition is sensed, in which case the reversal takes place as soon as possible. In connection with an arthroscopic cutting device, the control enables the surgeon to control, for example, the opening of the aperture through which tissue and fluids are removed from the surgical site during the reversal and start/stop conditions.

A method is proposed for adjusting an actuator (300) of a positioning system (100). The positioning system (100) has an electronically commutated actuator drive (200) which is coupled to the actuator (300), wherein the actuator drive (200) has a permanent magnetic rotor (210), wherein the rotor (210) has a first shaft (212) which extends along a pole axis (290) of the rotor (210). The actuator drive (200) additionally has an electronically commutated stator (230), wherein the stator (230) can be energized using a space phasor (260), wherein the space phasor (260) has an electric phase and an amplitude, wherein the space phasor (260) is aligned with respect to the first shaft (212) of the rotor (210) around a difference phasing. In order to be able to actuate a predefined position of the actuator, even without sensors to determine the position of the first shaft (212) of the rotor (210), the following steps of the method are thereby provided: setting the difference phasing of the space phasor (260) to an operating difference phasing; setting the amplitude to an operating amplitude, wherein the operating difference phasing and the operating amplitude are set in such a way that the operating difference phasing is less than 45º and that a torque is generated at the rotor (210) suitable for starting up the predefined position of the actuator (300). The invention further relates to a device for adjusting an actuator (300) of a positioning system (100) and a computer program product which contains a program code which, when it is executed by a data processing unit, implements the method according to the invention.
