Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and more particularly to an intelligent medical cotton swab box. Background Art

[0002] At present, most medical cotton swabs used clinically are packaged in bags. When in use, a small hole is cut in the corner of the bag. Only one cotton swab can be taken out at a time. The entire process must be kept sterile. When taking out the medical cotton swab, the head of the medical cotton swab is likely to touch the bag opening, and the medical cotton swab is easily contaminated when taken out. The bagged medical cotton swab cannot be closed after being cut open, and can only be placed upside down on the treatment tray, which not only takes up more space but also greatly increases the probability of contamination, and cannot guarantee the sterile conditions of the medical cotton swab. On the other hand, it is very time-consuming to use bagged medical cotton swabs. Taking liquid preparation as an example, a bag of liquid medicine needs to go through the following procedures from preparation to injection into the patient's body: ① Disinfect the mouth of the medicine bottle twice ② Disinfect the mouth of the solvent bottle twice ③ Disinfect the two mouths of the liquid bottle twice before connecting to the infusion set ④ Disinfect the connection port of the indwelling needle twice during infusion. The medical cotton swab is used 10 times in the whole process, and each time it takes 2-3 seconds. The whole process of taking the medical cotton swab takes 20-30 seconds. There are 40 patients in a department, and each person receives an average of 3 bags of liquid and one intramuscular injection. The time spent on taking the medical cotton swab is 40-80 minutes. This is only the most common and simplest situation of all treatments. If wound disinfection, dressing change, dressing change, etc. are required, more medical cotton swabs are needed, which greatly wastes the precious treatment time of medical staff and medical resources.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide an intelligent medical cotton swab box that can ensure the cleanliness of medical cotton swabs and can be quickly used is a problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an intelligent medical cotton swab box, which overcomes the technical problems that bagged medical cotton swabs are easily contaminated and take a long time to use.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: an intelligent medical cotton swab box, a box body, the box body includes an infrared sensing box cover and a lifting platform located inside the box body, the infrared sensing box cover is installed on a sliding track at the top of the box body, and the lifting platform is provided with a plurality of cotton swab sockets for inserting medical cotton swabs.

[0006] Preferably, one end of the medical cotton swab is inserted vertically downward into the cotton swab insertion hole.

[0007] Preferably, the infrared sensing box cover comprises: an infrared sensing detector, a main controller and a micro motor, and the main controller is electrically connected to the infrared sensing detector and the micro motor respectively;

[0008] The infrared induction detector is used to collect external signals and provide pulse signals to the main controller;

[0009] The main controller includes a first delay timer, and the main controller is used to receive a pulse signal from the infrared sensing detector and send a command signal, wherein the command signal includes an infrared sensing box cover opening command signal and a lifting platform rising command signal that is delayed for a certain period of time;

[0010] The micro motor is used to drive the infrared sensing box cover to open after receiving the infrared sensing box cover opening command signal from the main controller, and to drive the infrared sensing box cover to close after the infrared sensing box cover opening command signal disappears.

[0011] Preferably, the lifting platform includes a lifting controller, an electric telescopic rod electrically connected to the lifting controller, and a medical cotton swab insertion platform fixed on the electric telescopic rod;

[0012] The lifting controller is connected to the main controller, and the lifting controller includes a second delay timer. The lifting controller is used to drive the electric telescopic rod to extend after receiving the lifting platform rising command signal from the main controller, thereby driving the medical cotton swab insertion platform to rise, and drive the electric telescopic rod to retract after the lifting platform rising command signal disappears, thereby driving the medical cotton swab insertion platform to descend;

[0013] The plurality of cotton swab insertion holes are arranged on the medical cotton swab insertion platform.

[0014] Preferably, after the infrared sensing box cover is fully opened, the medical cotton swab insertion platform automatically rises, and after the medical cotton swab insertion platform stops rising, the handheld end of the medical cotton swab inserted in the cotton swab socket of the medical cotton swab insertion platform protrudes 2-3 cm from the box body.

[0015] Preferably, the lifting platform includes multiple ones, that is, the lifting platform can be composed of a plurality of independent lifting platforms, so as to expand the number of medical cotton swabs inserted into the cotton swab insertion hole of the lifting platform.

[0016] Preferably, a pause switch is provided on the infrared sensing box cover, for realizing a pause operation after the infrared sensing box cover is automatically opened and the lifting platform is automatically raised.

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] The embodiment of the present invention discloses an intelligent medical cotton swab box, such as Figure 1 The box body shown in the figure includes: a box body 1, an infrared sensing box cover 2 installed on a sliding track at the top of the box body, a lifting platform 3 installed inside the box body, and medical cotton swabs are vertically inserted into a plurality of cotton swab sockets on the lifting platform 3.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, one end of the medical cotton swab is inserted vertically downward into the cotton swab insertion hole 301 located on the lifting platform 3, the height of the cotton swab insertion hole 301 is 2 / 3 or 3 / 4 of the total height of the cotton rod, and the diameter of the cotton swab insertion hole is slightly smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the medical cotton swab head, so as to ensure that the medical cotton swab is stably inserted into the cotton swab insertion hole 301; Figure 3 As shown, the cotton swab insertion hole 301 is made of sterile environmentally friendly material and is aseptically treated, and the inner wall of the cotton swab insertion hole remains smooth, which is convenient for taking the medical cotton swab and ensures that the cotton swab head of the medical cotton swab will not fall off easily during the taking process.

[0027] In order to realize the automatic opening of the infrared sensing box cover of the intelligent medical cotton swab box, the control system of the infrared sensing box cover 2 is composed of an infrared sensing detector, a main controller and a micro motor, and the main controller is electrically connected to the infrared sensing detector and the micro motor respectively; the infrared sensing detector 201 is arranged on the upper surface of the infrared sensing box cover, and is used to collect external signals. The external signal mainly refers to the infrared signal generated when a human hand approaches the infrared sensing box cover. When the infrared sensing detector 201 receives the external infrared signal, it generates a pulse signal and transmits it to the main controller; a first delay timer is set inside the main controller, the main controller receives the pulse signal of the infrared sensing detector 201, and sends a command signal, where the command signal includes the infrared sensing box cover opening command signal and the lifting platform rising command signal issued after a certain delay; the delay time is determined by the first delay timer according to the full opening time of the infrared sensing box cover, and when the infrared sensing box cover 2 is fully opened, the main controller sends a lifting platform rising command to make the lifting platform rise. The micro motor provides power for opening and closing the infrared sensing box cover. When the micro motor receives the infrared sensing box cover opening command signal from the main controller, it drives the infrared sensing box cover to open, and drives the infrared sensing box cover to close after the infrared sensing box cover opening command signal disappears.

[0028] The control system of the lifting platform 3 is mainly composed of a lifting controller, an electric telescopic rod 302 electrically connected to the lifting controller, and a medical cotton swab insertion platform 303 fixed above the electric telescopic rod; the lifting controller of the lifting platform 3 is connected to the main controller of the infrared sensing box cover 2, and a second delay timer is arranged inside the lifting controller. After receiving the lifting platform rising command signal sent by the main controller, the lifting controller drives the electric telescopic rod 302 to extend, thereby driving the medical cotton swab insertion platform 303 to rise, and drives the electric telescopic rod 302 to retract after the lifting platform rising command signal disappears, thereby driving the medical cotton swab insertion platform 303 to descend. The disappearance time of the lifting platform rising command signal is determined and generated by the second delay device; a plurality of cotton swab sockets for inserting medical cotton swabs are arranged on the medical cotton swab insertion platform 303.

[0029] When a person's hand approaches the intelligent medical cotton swab box, the infrared sensing detector 201 on the infrared sensing box cover 2 receives the generated infrared signal, and then generates a pulse signal to send to the main controller. The main controller receives the pulse signal and sends an infrared sensing box cover opening command signal, and transmits the opening command signal to the micro motor. The infrared sensing box cover 2 automatically opens under the control of the micro motor; after the infrared sensing box cover 2 is fully opened, the main controller sends a lifting platform rising command signal, and transmits the rising command signal to the lifting controller connected to the main controller. The lifting controller is used to control the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod, so that the medical cotton swab insertion platform 303 automatically rises under the drive of the electric telescopic rod. After the medical cotton swab insertion platform 303 stops rising, the handheld end of the medical cotton swab inserted in the medical cotton swab insertion platform protrudes 2-3cm from the box body, which is convenient for medical staff to quickly take it. After taking away the medical cotton swab, the human hand is away from the intelligent medical cotton swab box, the infrared sensing detector 201 cannot sense the temperature of the human hand, the main controller and the lifting controller lose the pulse signal, the lifting platform rising command signal disappears, and the lifting controller drives the electric telescopic rod to retract, driving the medical cotton swab insertion platform 303 fixed above the electric telescopic rod to descend. After a certain period of time, the medical cotton swab insertion platform stops descending (that is, the medical cotton swab inserted on the medical cotton swab insertion platform is completely dropped into the box body of the intelligent medical cotton swab box). At this time, the infrared sensing box cover opening command signal disappears, and the main controller sends a closing command to the micro motor to close the infrared sensing box cover.

[0030] In the present invention, the action time of the opening command signal of the infrared sensing box cover 2 is earlier than the action time of the rising command signal of the lifting platform 3. At the same time, the disappearance time of the opening command signal of the infrared sensing box cover 2 is later than the disappearance time of the rising command signal of the lifting platform 3. This can be specifically achieved by delay control. The control implementation process is not the main protection content of the present invention, so it is not described in detail here.

[0031] As an improved embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the lifting platform in the intelligent medical cotton swab box is composed of a plurality of relatively independent lifting platforms 3. This design can expand the capacity of medical cotton swabs. The lifting platforms are relatively independent. In specific applications, one of the lifting platforms can be manually selected by a selection key set on the box body to automatically lift. When the medical cotton swabs on the lifting platform are used up, the other lifting platforms full of medical cotton swabs can be selected by the selection key to automatically lift. Of course, the lifting and lowering of the lifting platform can also be realized by program.

[0032] As an improved embodiment, a pause switch is provided on the infrared sensing box cover of the smart medical cotton swab box, which is used to pause after the infrared sensing box cover of the smart medical cotton swab box is fully opened. Specifically, when multiple medical cotton swabs are needed in the same medical operation, the pause switch is manually pressed after the infrared sensing box cover is fully opened and the lifting platform rises. For example, if 5 medical cotton swabs are needed in the same operation, after the lifting platform equipped with medical cotton swabs rises and the medical cotton swabs are exposed from the infrared sensing box cover, the pause switch is manually activated, and the automatic control system of the smart medical cotton swab box is suspended, so that medical staff can take medical cotton swabs multiple times in a long period of time. This design can avoid the situation where the lifting platform needs to be lifted and lowered once each time a medical cotton swab is taken, resulting in frequent lifting and lowering of the lifting platform, causing inconvenience in use and increasing time cost. When the medical operation is completed, the pause switch is activated again, and the infrared sensing box cover is automatically closed, and the infrared sensing box cover is restored to the automatic operation mode. The pause switch is only enabled when multiple medical cotton swabs are required for the same medical operation. If the number of medical cotton swabs required for the same medical operation is small (less than or equal to 3), there is no need to manually activate the pause switch.

[0033] As another improved embodiment, the smart medical cotton swab box is also provided with a manual control switch, which is arranged at the lower part of the side wall of the smart medical cotton swab box. When the number of medical cotton swabs in the smart medical cotton swab box is insufficient or empty, the manual control switch is activated, and the infrared sensing box cover is opened under the action of the manual control switch, and the lifting platform is lifted at the same time, and the medical cotton swabs are manually replenished in a sterile environment. After the replenishment, the manual control switch is activated again, and the lifting platform refilled with medical cotton swabs descends, and the infrared sensing box cover is closed. The improved smart medical cotton swab box is recycled, which improves the utilization rate.

[0034] In the solution for replenishing medical cotton swabs, other implementation methods can also be used, such as a lifting platform that is detachably installed inside the box body of the smart medical cotton swab box. When the medical cotton swabs on the lifting platform are used up, the lifting platform with no medical cotton swabs is removed from the box body, and the medical cotton swabs are replenished in a sterile environment. At the same time, a spare lifting platform filled with medical cotton swabs is installed inside the box body, thereby improving the efficiency of replenishing medical cotton swabs.

[0035] In this specification, each embodiment is described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the embodiments can be referred to each other. For the device disclosed in the embodiment, since it corresponds to the method disclosed in the embodiment, the description is relatively simple, and the relevant parts can be referred to the method part.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
