[0002] With the development of my country's economy, the aging problem has become increasingly prominent. With the deepening of the aging of society, there are more and more empty-nest elderly people, which has become a social problem that cannot be ignored. When children leave home for work, study, marriage and other reasons, the middle-aged and elderly couples who are left alone in the "empty nest" will suffer from psychological disorders. By 2050, the number of elderly people without children at the end of their lives in my country will reach about 79 million, and the number of elderly people living alone and in empty nests will account for more than 54%. The elderly care problem of empty-nest elderly people has once again attracted attention. A series of technological products designed for the elderly, such as TV boxes, have emerged in society to improve the quality of life of the elderly in their later years and solve the loneliness of empty-nest elderly people to the greatest extent. In addition, there are also some robots that can provide simple massage, assist in turning over, and simple chat for the elderly. Due to the aging of their bodies, the elderly often need to take medicine. Due to the decline in memory, they are also prone to missing medicine or taking more medicine.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a companion robot includes a motion mechanism 1, a body 2, an arm 3 and a head 4. The motion mechanism 1 includes a motor bracket 10, which is a hollow rectangular parallelepiped structure and can be made of aluminum profiles. Traveling motors are fixedly arranged at both ends of the motor bracket 10. The traveling motor can be a DC reduction motor or a stepping motor, etc. In order to save costs, the DC reduction motor is preferably used in this embodiment. The output shaft of the traveling motor protrudes from the side of the motor bracket 10. A traveling wheel 11 is fixedly arranged on the output shaft of the traveling motor. With such a structure, it is relatively simple and can reduce weight. More importantly, it is very convenient to move. Moving forward, backward or turning can be achieved by the rotation speed and steering coordination of the two traveling motors, and even turning in place will not take up much space. In addition, a tail frame 12 is fixedly arranged on both sides of the rear of the motor bracket 10, and a balance wheel 5 is rotatably arranged at the end of the tail frame 12. After the balance wheel 5 is set, the balance of the robot can be well achieved, the cost of using a balance sensor or a balance algorithm is reduced, and the stability of the robot can also be guaranteed from the hardware.
[0042] The motor bracket 10 is fixedly provided with a body 2, and arms 3 are rotatably provided on both sides of the body 2. A head 4 is provided on the top of the body 2. The body 2, arms 3 and head 4 are designed to simulate the shape of a human body, and the purpose of such design is to look more friendly, psychologically easy to accept and close.
[0043] The body 2 is a hollow structure and can be made of a combined shell structure. A first medicine box slide 20 is provided in the middle of the body 2, and a first medicine box 21 can be slidably arranged in the first medicine box slide 20. This medicine box is mainly used to place emergency medicines and can be opened manually for easy operation. Specifically, a compression spring is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the first medicine box slide 20, and a locking mechanism is arranged on the inner side wall of the first medicine box slide 20. When the first medicine box 21 moves inward, the compression spring is compressed and locked by the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is an L-shaped structure, which is horizontally arranged on the bottom inner side wall of the first medicine box slide 20. A rotating shaft is penetrated in the middle of the locking mechanism of the L-shaped structure, and the locking mechanism can rotate forward and backward along the rotating shaft to form a seesaw structure. The locking mechanism of the L-shaped structure lies flat on the bottom inner side wall of the first medicine box slide 20. When the first medicine box 21 moves inward, the compression spring is hooked by the front end of the L-shaped structure while being compressed, and will not be ejected by the compression spring. When the first medicine box 21 needs to be taken out, the front end of the L-shaped structure is pressed, and under the action of the compression spring, the first medicine box 21 automatically pops out from the first medicine box slide 20. This can save the inconvenience of taking medicine and prevent the medicine box from getting stuck inside the robot. This pop-up structure is not limited to the above-mentioned form, and can refer to the existing structure that can be popped out by pressing, such as setting a press-type bumper between the first medicine box 21 and the first medicine box slide 20 to achieve locking, etc.
[0044] The upper part of the body 2 is located at the chest, and a second medicine box slide 22 is provided, and this height is convenient for taking medicine. A rotating medicine dispensing device 23 is provided in the body 2, and the rotating medicine dispensing device 23 corresponds to the second medicine box slide 22, and the medicine in the rotating medicine dispensing device 23 can be extended through the second medicine box slide 22. More specifically, as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the rotating medicine dispensing device 23 includes a base 230, on which a support column 231 is fixedly arranged, and the support column 231 is a stepped cylindrical structure. An arm bracket 24 is fixedly arranged on the top of the support column 231, and the arm bracket 24 includes a T-shaped frame 240, the bottom of the T-shaped frame 240 is fixedly connected to the top of the support column 231, and arm fixing plates 241 are rotatably arranged on both sides of the T-shaped frame 240, and the arm fixing plates 241 are fixedly connected to the root of the arm 3, and the entire arm can rotate 95 degrees up and down along the T-shaped frame 240.
[0045] A rack hole 2310 and a pusher motor mounting hole 2311 are provided in the middle of the support column 231. The rack hole 2310 and the pusher motor mounting hole 2311 are arranged vertically, and the two are partially connected at the center. A rack 2314 is slidably provided in the rack hole 2310. A pusher motor 2312 is fixedly provided in the pusher motor mounting hole 2311, and a pusher gear 2313 is sleeved and fixed on the output shaft of the pusher motor 2312, and the pusher gear 2313 and the rack 2314 are meshed with each other. A turntable 232 is rotatably provided on the support column 231, and the turntable 232 includes a turntable body 2320. The turntable body 2320 is an annular structure, and 7 rotating medicine box slideways 2322 are evenly provided in the radial direction, and a rotating medicine box 2324 is slidably provided in the rotating medicine box slideway 2322. The rotating medicine box slideway 2322 corresponds to the rack 2314. 7 rotating medicine box slideways 2322 and 7 rotating medicine boxes 2324 are arranged here, corresponding to the dosage of one week, and one rotating medicine box 2324 is introduced every day for the elderly to take. After one week, the children come back to visit the elderly and put the medicine into the rotating medicine box 2324 respectively, so that the elderly can take medicine on time. The bottom of the turntable body 2320 is fixedly provided with a toothed ring 2321, and the base 230 is fixedly provided with a turntable motor 233. The output shaft of the turntable motor 233 is fixedly provided with a turntable driving gear 2330, and the turntable driving gear 2330 is meshed with the toothed ring 2321. The base 230 is also fixedly provided with a position detection sensor for detecting the rotation position of the turntable 232. The position detection sensor can be implemented by a rotary encoder or a capacitive sensor, etc. If a capacitive sensor is used, a detected mark should be provided below each corresponding rotating medicine box slideway 2322, such as an iron sheet or an induction sheet. A rack detection sensor is provided in the rack hole 2310 to detect the moving position of the rack. The rack detection sensor can be a Hall sensor or a capacitive sensor, which can detect whether the rack is moved in place.
[0046] In another embodiment, the rotating medicine box slide 2322 is a cylindrical structure, and guide grooves 2323 are symmetrically provided on both sides thereof, so as to prevent the medicine from falling due to rotation. The rotating medicine box 2324 is a hollow cylindrical structure, and a medicine taking port is provided on the top thereof. The entire space in the rotating medicine box 2324 is also divided into three small spaces by a partition. Such a structure can place a dose of medicine three times a day, and only a fixed dose of medicine is exposed each time to prevent the elderly from taking too much. Sliding wings corresponding to the guide grooves 2323 are respectively provided on both sides of the rotating medicine box 2324. The length of the guide groove 2323 is less than the length of the rotating medicine box slide 2322. Such a structure can prevent the rotating medicine box 2324 from moving inwards and overtravel, affecting the movement of the entire turntable. When working, the rotating medicine box 2324 can only move within a limited position and cannot interfere with the work of the turntable. The rotating medicine box 2324 is made of a magnetic conductive material, or a magnetic material is pasted behind the rotating medicine box 2324. A magnet 2315 is fixedly provided at one end of the rack 2314. Such a structure allows the magnet 2315 to be in close contact with the rotating medicine box 2324. When the rack 2314 is retracted into the support column 231, the magnet exerts a pulling force on the rotating medicine box 2324 to move inward, thereby causing the rotating medicine box 2324 to move inward and retract. This saves a lot of mechanical structures, is simple and convenient, has low cost and is easy to maintain.
[0047] A display screen 40 is fixedly arranged in front of the head 4, a camera 42 and a sound sensor are fixedly arranged above the display screen 40, and speakers 41 are fixedly arranged on both sides of the head 4. The display screen 40 is a touch screen, and the touch screen displays eyes and a nose. For further anthropomorphism, the eyes can be drawn large and round to show a cute and adorable appearance.
[0048] The body 2 is also provided with a battery and a control circuit board, on which a microcontroller and a network communication module are provided, and the control circuit board is electrically connected to the travel motor, the camera 42, the sound sensor, the speaker 41, and the actuator and sensor of the rotating medicine dispensing device 23. The network communication module enables the robot to communicate remotely, such as communicating with the robot through terminal software such as WeChat or QQ, so as to facilitate the interaction between the elderly and their children. In addition, the robot also has an artificial intelligence algorithm or an artificial intelligence chip, and has the ability to learn autonomously.
[0049] When working, the robot automatically finds people at the time when they need to take medicine according to the settings of the camera and the built-in clock. The action of finding people is mainly performed by the camera to scan the human body, and then the traveling standby drives the traveling wheel to move. After moving to the side of the person, the control circuit controls the turntable motor 233 to rotate, and the turntable driving gear 2330 on the rotating shaft of the turntable motor 233 is also driven, and the gear ring 2321 and the turntable body 2320 are driven at the same time. When the corresponding rotating medicine box slide 2322 rotates in place, the sensor at the bottom receives the signal, and the turntable motor 233 stops rotating. Then, the pusher motor 2312 drives the pusher gear 2313 to rotate forward, and pushes the rack 2314 out of the rack hole 2310. One end of the rack 2314 conflicts with one of the rotating medicine boxes 2324, and the rotating medicine box 2324 is moved outward along the rotating medicine box slide 2322 and the guide slide 2323, and extends out of the robot body from the second medicine box slide 22 for people to take medicine. After the medicine is taken, the pusher motor 2312 drives the pusher gear 2313 to reverse, the rack 2314 moves inward, and the rotating medicine box 2324 is driven by the magnet to move and retract into the robot body, completing the entire drug administration process. The robot's control circuit has a voice chip that can record the voice of the elderly's children. The voice can be dropped by talking to the robot and played through the speaker 41. Since voice dialogue and artificial intelligence are relatively mature, and are not the specific content to be protected by this application, they will not be described in detail here.
[0050] The present invention arranges a body 2, an arm 3 and a head 4 on a motion mechanism 1 that can move with a person, and arranges a rotating medicine dispensing device 23 inside the body 2. The rotating medicine dispensing device 23 can provide a specific amount of medicine to the elderly in a timely and quantitative manner to prevent the elderly from missing or taking too much medicine. Since the robot has an anthropomorphic design and a cute structure, it is easy to be popular. The invention has a reasonable design, a clever structure and is easy to carry.
