Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] See also Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the present invention provides a robot for assisting patients with limited arm movement to wash their faces, comprising a wash basin 1, a sealing plate 5 is arranged on the inner bottom surface of the wash basin 1, a partition plate 6 is connected between the sealing plate 5 and the inner bottom surface of the wash basin 1, the partition plate 6 divides the area between the sealing plate 5 and the inner bottom surface of the wash basin 1 into a water storage chamber 7 and a liquid storage chamber 8, a water inlet 12 is arranged on the sealing plate 5 at the upper end of the water storage chamber 7, and a liquid inlet 11 is arranged on the sealing plate 5 at the upper end of the liquid storage chamber 8. When in use, the water inlet 12 and the liquid inlet 11 should be sealed with a sealing plug, a water pump 10 is arranged in the water storage chamber 7, an infusion pump 9 is arranged in the liquid storage chamber 8, and a delivery pipe 13 is installed on the water pump 10 and the infusion pump 9;

[0037] A slide rail 19 is fixedly installed horizontally on the inner wall of the wash basin 1, and a push rod motor 20 is fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the slide rail 19. Two slide seats 21 fixedly connected to the push rod head of the push rod motor 20 are slidably installed in the middle of the slide rail 19. A flat-plate linear motor 18 is fixedly installed on each slide seat 21. A mounting plate 14 is fixedly installed on the upper end mover of the flat-plate linear motor 18, and a brush plate 17 is installed on the mounting plate 14;

[0038] A water channel 15 is provided inside the mounting plate 14, and a water inlet 16 connected to the delivery pipe 13 is provided on the bottom surface of the water channel 15; a plurality of spray holes 22 connected to the water channel 15 are provided on the upper surface of the mounting plate 14;

[0039] A cleaning switch 24 and a battery box 23 electrically connected to the cleaning switch 24 are provided on the outer side of the washbasin 1; there are four cleaning switches 24, which are electrically connected to the flat linear motor 18, the push rod motor 20, the water pump 10, and the infusion pump 9 respectively. With this design, the flat linear motor 18, the push rod motor 20, the water pump 10, and the infusion pump 9 are individually controlled by four control switches, which is convenient for users to operate.

[0040] As an optional embodiment, a handle bar 2 is provided on the outer side of the wash basin 1, and the handle bar 2 facilitates lifting the wash basin 1;

[0041] A groove 3 is provided on the lower surface of the handle buckle 2, and the groove 3 is used to prevent fingers from slipping off the handle buckle 2.

[0042] A placement groove 4 is provided at the upper end of one side surface of the wash basin 1, and the placement groove 4 is used for placing the neck.

[0043] The area of ​​the water storage chamber 7 is larger than that of the liquid storage chamber 8. Since the amount of water consumed when washing the face is large, the area of ​​the water storage chamber 7 should be larger.

[0044] The delivery pipe 13 is a telescopic hose. Since the mounting plate 14 will slide along the slide rail 19, the delivery pipe 13 must be a pipe with good telescopic performance.

[0045] The connection between the delivery pipe 13 and the sealing plate 5 is sealed and waterproofed, so that the sewage generated during the face washing process can be prevented from flowing into the water storage chamber 7 and the liquid storage chamber 8.

[0046] The two ends of the slide rail 19 are fixedly connected to the front and rear inner walls of the wash basin 1 respectively;

[0049] The infusion pump 9 is connected to a water channel 15 in another mounting plate 14 through another delivery pipe 13 .

[0050] The moving direction of the mover of the flat linear motor 18 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the slide 21 .

[0051] The mounting plate 14 and the brush plate 17 are both L-shaped plates, and such a design allows the brush plate 17 to clamp the facial skin through the mounting plate 14;

[0052] The length, width and height of the brush plate 17 are all greater than the length, width and height of the mounting plate 14, so that the mounting plate 14 is prevented from directly contacting the facial skin;

[0053] The brush plate 17 is made of sponge, which is soft, does not hurt the skin, and has good water absorption performance.

[0054] The robot for assisting patients with limited arm movement to wash their faces is used to ensure that there are sufficient clean water and facial cleanser in the water storage chamber 7 and the liquid storage chamber 8 before use. When in use, the face wash basin 1 is placed first, and then the head is placed in the face wash basin 1 with the face facing downward, ensuring that the neck is placed in the placement groove 4 until the face contacts the brush plate 17. After that, the two flat linear motors 18 are controlled to move respectively to drive the mounting plates 14 to move left and right until the two mounting plates 14 clamp the face. The degree of clamping can be controlled by the operator's operation and the flat linear motors 18. The cleaning switch 24 connected electrically to the face is controlled (when clamped, the operator can promptly operate the cleaning switch 24 to control the flat-plate linear motor 18 to stop rotating), and then the push rod motor 20 is controlled to rotate forward and reversely to drive the slide 21 and the flat-plate linear motor 18 at the upper end of the slide 21 and the brush plate 17 to slide back and forth along the slide rail 19. During the sliding process, the water pump 10 is first controlled to rotate to pump the clean water in the water storage chamber 7 into the water channel 15 through the delivery pipe 13 and spray it out from the spray hole 22 to moisten the facial skin, and then the infusion pump 9 is controlled to rotate to pump the facial cleanser in the liquid storage chamber 8 into the water channel 15 through the delivery pipe 13 and spray it out from the spray hole 22 to spray onto the facial skin, and then the brush plate 17 is controlled to rotate forward and reversely to drive the slide 21 and the flat-plate linear motor 18 at the upper end of the slide 21 and the brush plate 17 to slide back and forth along the slide rail 19. During the sliding process, the water pump 10 is first controlled to rotate to pump the clean water in the water storage chamber 7 into the water channel 15 through the delivery pipe 13 and spray it out from the spray hole 22 to moisten the facial skin. The face is scrubbed back and forth to evenly apply the facial cleanser on the facial skin and rub the skin. After a period of time, if the face is felt to be clean, the control switch electrically connected to the water pump 10 can be operated to control the water pump 10 to rotate and spray clean water through the spray hole 22 to the face to rinse the facial cleanser until it is rinsed clean. At this point, the face washing is completed. During the entire face washing process, the person washing only needs to operate the washing switch 24 to control the washing process. There is no need to apply facial cleanser to the face, and there is no need to rub the facial skin. This saves time and effort, and fully realizes automatic washing. No help from others is required, which saves time and effort, effectively solves the trouble of patients washing their faces, and has good practicality.

[0055] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
