Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to an intelligent needle changing system based on an automated blood collection machine and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] During manual blood draws, if a vein is not found or the needle is inserted too deeply, it often causes pain for the patient. However, most hospitals currently use manual blood draws, and the experience is largely dependent on the skill of the medical staff. Furthermore, manual blood draws are cumbersome and inefficient. Therefore, with the development of science and technology, medical devices are becoming increasingly intelligent, and products using robots to replace manual blood draws have appeared on the market. These blood collection robots utilize infrared and ultrasound imaging technology to replace nurses in administering injections and drawing blood. Although they currently boast an 83% accuracy rate, the entire process still requires manual control. Each needle change still cannot avoid the problem of secondary needle injury and infection inherent in manual blood draws. Moreover, the needle-changing and blood-drawing process cannot be fully automated, resulting in overall low efficiency and failing to fundamentally solve the problems associated with manual blood draws.

[0003] Patent application number 201810439539.5 discloses an automatic needle-changing robot that can automatically complete the process of changing needles, drawing blood, sealing needles, and removing needles, thus completing the process of changing the reflux needle. Although it avoids the need for manual replacement of the reflux needle, it cannot automatically change the connection between the reflux needle and the blood collection tube, which is not conducive to the process of collecting blood from multiple blood collection tubes in one puncture.

[0004] Patent application number 201620901679.6 discloses an automatic needle changing device for continuous infusion of infusion bottles. Multiple infusion bottles are placed on a rotating support, and the needle is changed by rotating the turntable. However, the infusion bottles are heavy and are prone to shaking during rotation. In actual operation, the needle may not be able to be aligned with the infusion bottle, which has poor application prospects. Summary of the Invention
