Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly to an intelligent induction alarm device for a sharp container. Background Art

[0002] Disposable syringes, ampoule residues, blades, sewing needles, etc. are all common medical sharps in hospitals. To avoid the spread of contamination caused by these sharps, hospitals will configure sharp containers to collect these medical sharps. The sharp containers are usually set in environments where medical staff use equipment such as syringes, such as injection rooms, outpatient departments, and wards, to facilitate the collection of used disposable syringes, ampoule residues, blades, sewing needles, and other medical sharps.

[0003] Existing mainstream sharp containers are all disposable consumables, and are usually directly placed on the ground during use. The sharp container includes a box body and a box cover. During use, medical staff usually open the box cover until the sharps in the box body accumulate to a certain extent and then close the box cover to save time.

[0004] For example, the patent application with the publication number CN111746979A discloses a multifunctional special-shaped sharp container, which includes a base, a weighing device, a sharp container, a safety cover, an electromagnet, a spring piece, a mounting seat, a shearing mechanism, a pressing mechanism, a controller, a pressure sensor, a timer, and a storage battery. The weighing device is fixedly arranged at the lower end inside the base, the sharp container is movably arranged on the top of the weighing device, the safety cover is hinged on the upper side of the front end of the outer wall of the base, the electromagnet is fixedly arranged on the upper side of the front end of the outer wall of the base, and the electromagnet is magnetically attracted and connected to the safety cover. A spring piece is fixedly arranged on the upper side of the front end of the outer wall of the base, and the spring piece is movably connected to the safety cover. The mounting seat is fixedly arranged on the top of the base, the shearing mechanism is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the mounting seat, the pressing mechanism is slidably arranged on the top of the mounting seat, the controller is fixedly arranged at the bottom end inside the base, the pressure sensor is fixedly arranged at the bottom end inside the base, the timer is fixedly arranged inside the bottom end of the base, and the storage battery is fixedly arranged inside the bottom end of the base.

[0005] The existing box covers of sharp containers only have a simple opening and closing function, and any external force can control the opening and closing of the sharp container. When the sharp container is overturned, disposable syringes, ampoule residues, etc. in the sharp container are likely to pour out of the sharp container, causing the spread of contamination. In addition, in the use environment of existing sharp containers, in addition to medical staff and patients receiving treatment, there are also non-medical staff such as patient families. When medical staff do not pay attention to the sharp container, children in the use environment may put their hands into the sharp container out of curiosity and cause needle stick injuries, or patients and their families may overturn the sharp container and cause needle stick injuries, thus generating medical disputes. If medical staff are required to always pay attention to the state of the sharp container and whether someone is approaching the sharp container, it will seriously distract the energy of medical staff and lead to a reduction in the utilization efficiency of medical resources.

[0006] In summary, the present invention provides an intelligent induction alarm device for a sharp instrument box to prevent non-medical staff from putting their hands into the sharp instrument box or knocking over the sharp instrument box, thereby causing needle stick injuries.

[0007] In addition, on the one hand, there are differences in the understanding of those skilled in the art; on the other hand, when the applicant made the present invention, a large number of documents and patents were studied, but due to space limitations, all details and content were not listed in detail. However, this does not mean that the present invention does not possess the features of these prior arts.

[0016] Preferably, the processing module provides a basis for adjusting the working state of the response module by determining whether there is an intention to use the sharp instrument box by the medical staff, so that in the case where both medical staff and non-medical staff exist in the environment where the sharp instrument box is located, it is ensured that each time the response module opens the sharp instrument box is to receive the sharp instruments placed by the medical staff, and the opening time of the sharp instrument box is minimized as much as possible, thereby reducing the possibility that non-medical staff will reach into the sharp instrument box or knock over the sharp instrument box to scatter the sharp instruments inside.

[0017] According to a preferred embodiment, the processing module at least includes: a first processing unit, a second processing unit, and a third processing unit. Preferably, the first processing unit identifies and classifies the personnel in the environment where the sharp instrument box is located to determine whether there is a medical staff in the environment where the sharp instrument box is located.

According to a preferred embodiment, the first processing unit divides the environment where the sharp instrument box is located into a first usage scenario where there are no medical staff, a second usage scenario where there are only medical staff, and a third usage scenario where there are both medical staff and non-medical staff based on the images. Preferably, when the first processing unit divides the environment where the sharp instrument box is located into the first usage scenario and the second usage scenario, the first processing unit transmits the division result to the third processing unit. The third processing unit adjusts the working state of the response module according to the division result.

[0022] According to a preferred embodiment, when the first processing unit divides the environment where the sharp instrument box is located into the third usage scenario, the first processing unit transmits the images reflecting the environmental information of the environment where the sharp instrument box is located to the second processing unit. The second processing unit determines whether the sharp instrument box is within the field of vision of the medical staff to judge whether the medical staff has the intention to use the sharp instrument box.

The third processing unit generates a control instruction according to the processing results of the first processing unit and / or the second processing unit to adjust the working state of the response module.

[0024] Preferably, the step-by-step processing of the first processing unit and the second processing unit on the image reflecting the environmental information of the sharp instrument box reduces the amount of data processing and improves the processing efficiency of the processing module. Preferably, when the first processing unit performs image processing, the requirement for the resolution of the image is relatively low, and when the second processing unit performs image processing, the requirement for the resolution of the image is relatively high; the first processing unit performs primary processing on the image collected by the detection module to screen out the images that need to be processed by the second processing unit, so that the second processing unit can perform secondary processing using the processing results of the first processing unit. Preferably, when the first processing unit performs image processing, it can process the full-size image collected by the detection module using a relatively low resolution and extract the images of medical staff. When the second processing unit performs image processing, it can perform high-resolution processing only on the images of medical staff extracted by the first processing unit, without performing high-resolution processing on the full-size image collected by the detection module, thereby reducing the amount of data processing and improving the processing efficiency of the processing module.

[0025] According to a preferred embodiment, the induction alarm device further includes an installation module for installing the induction alarm device to the opening of the sharp instrument box.

See Figure 2 and Figure 5, preferably, the camera 121 is disposed above the mounting module 130 through a bracket 132 connected to the outer wall of the mounting module 130. Preferably, the bracket 132 positions the camera 121 away from the mounting module 130, and the height of the bracket 132 is greater than the height of the folded partition 141 to prevent the field of view of the camera 121 from being blocked by the folded partition 141. Preferably, the camera 121 can be a wide-angle camera or a panoramic camera. Preferably, when the sharp instrument box 200 is placed in a corner or other location where the angle for medical staff to place sharp instruments is limited, the camera 121 can be a wide-angle camera, or other cameras with an image acquisition angle that can cover the angle for medical staff to place sharp instruments. Preferably, when medical staff can place sharp instruments into the sharp instrument box 200 from any angle, the camera 121 can be a panoramic camera.

[0051] See Figure 6 , preferably, the detection module 120 transmits the image collected to reflect the environmental information of the sharp instrument box 200 to the processing module 110. The processing module 110 processes the image to adjust the working state of the response module 140. Preferably, the image collected by the detection module 120 at least includes the personnel distribution in the environment where the sharp instrument box 200 is located.

[0052] Preferably, in the present invention, the processing module 110 can adjust the working state of the response module 140 according to two factors. Preferably, the first factor for the processing module 110 to adjust the working state of the response module 140 is whether there is a medical staff in the environment where the sharp instrument box 200 is located. Preferably, the second factor for the processing module 110 to adjust the working state of the response module 140 is whether the sharp instrument box 200 is within the field of view of the medical staff.

[0053] Preferably, the induction alarm device 100 of the present invention divides the usage scenarios of the sharp instrument box 200 according to the first factor and the second factor. When the usage scenario changes, the induction alarm device 100 can change the working state of the response module 140, thereby preventing non-medical staff such as patient families from reaching their hands into the sharp instrument box 200 or knocking over the sharp instrument box 200 to cause needle stick injuries without affecting the normal use of the sharp instrument box 200 by medical staff.

[0054] Preferably, the induction alarm device 100 can obtain the personnel distribution in the environment where the sharp instrument box 200 is located through the detection module 120 such as the camera 121, and the induction alarm device 100 can determine the first factor and the second factor through the processing module 110, thereby adjusting the working state of the response module 140, and thus liberating the energy of medical staff from monitoring the situation around the sharp instrument box 200 and devoting it to more important disease diagnosis and treatment, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of medical resources.

[0055] Preferably, when the detection module 120 obtains the personnel distribution in the environment where the sharp container 200 is located, the processing module 110 classifies and identifies the personnel in the environment where the sharp container 200 is located to initially divide the usage scenarios of the sharp container 200. Preferably, the processing module 110 divides the environment where the sharp container 200 is located into a first usage scenario without medical staff, a second usage scenario with only medical staff, and a third usage scenario with both medical staff and non-medical staff by determining whether there are medical staff in the environment where the sharp container 200 is located.

[0056] Preferably, in the first usage scenario where there are no medical staff in the environment where the sharp container 200 is located, the processing module 110 adjusts the partition 141 in the response module 140 to the second working state, so that the sharp container 200 is isolated from the outside. Preferably, the specific way for the processing module 110 to adjust the partition 141 to the second working state is that the processing module 110 sends a control instruction to the motor of the slide rail 131, which drives the free end 143 of the partition layer 141 to move away from the connection end 142, thereby unfolding the partition 141, isolating the sharp container 200 from the outside, and realizing the enclosure of the sharp container 200.

[0057] Preferably, in the second usage scenario where there are only medical staff in the environment where the sharp container 200 is located, the processing module 110 adjusts the partition 141 in the response module 140 to the first working state where the partition 141 is in a fully folded state and the opening of the sharp container 200 is open. Preferably, the processing module 110 can adjust the partition 141 to the first working state in the following way: Preferably, the processing module 110 sends a control instruction to the motor of the slide rail 131, which drives the free end 143 of the partition layer 141 to move closer to the connection end 142, thereby folding the partition 141, and then opening the opening of the sharp container 200, so that medical staff can place syringe needles, ampoule bottle residues, blades, sewing needles, etc. into the sharp container 200 to realize the collection of medical sharps.

[0058] Preferably, in a third usage scenario where both medical staff and non-medical staff are present in the environment where the sharps container 200 is located, the processing module 110 determines whether the medical staff notices the sharps container 200 to determine whether the medical staff has an intention to use the sharps container 200, and adjusts the working state of the response module 140 according to whether the medical staff has an intention to use the sharps container 200. Preferably, when the processing module 110 determines that the medical staff has an intention to use the sharps container 200, the processing module 110 adjusts the partition 141 in the response module 140 to the first working state. Preferably, when the processing module 110 determines that the medical staff has no intention to use the sharps container 200, the processing module 110 adjusts the partition 141 in the response module 140 to the second working state. Preferably, the processing module 110 adjusts the working state of the partition 141 according to whether the medical staff has an intention to use the sharps container 200, so as to prevent non-medical staff such as patient family members from putting their hands into the sharps container 200 or knocking over the sharps container 200 and causing needlestick injuries without affecting the normal use of the sharps container 200 by the medical staff.

[0059] Preferably, in a second usage scenario where only medical staff are present in the environment where the sharps container 200 is located, the processing module 110 can also adjust the working state of the partition 141 according to whether the medical staff has an intention to use the sharps container 200, so as to reduce the contact duration between the sharps in the sharps container 200 and the outside of the sharps container 200.

[0060] Preferably, when the sharps container 200 is used to collect sharps with a risk of pathogen transmission, the program preset in the processing module 110 can be configured to adjust the working state of the partition 141 only according to whether the medical staff has an intention to use the sharps container 200, so as to reduce the contact duration between the sharps in the sharps container 200 and the outside of the sharps container 200, thereby reducing the risk of contamination transmission.

[0061] See Figure 6 , preferably, the processing module 110 may include a first processing unit 111, a second processing unit 112, and a third processing unit. Preferably, the first processing unit 111, the second processing unit 112, and the third processing unit 113 are connected to each other in pairs for data connection.

Preferably, the first processing unit 111 performs personnel recognition and classification on the image captured by the camera 121 to obtain the first factor that determines the working state of the response module 140. Preferably, the specific way for the first processing unit 111 to determine whether there are medical staff in the environment where the sharp tool box 200 is located is as follows: The first processing unit 111 first obtains a personnel image from the image of the environment where the sharp tool box 200 is located captured by the camera 121 through image recognition technology, and then the first processing unit 111 can screen the obtained personnel image according to the characteristics that medical staff are significantly different from non-medical staff in imageology, so as to determine whether there are medical staff in the environment where the sharp tool box 200 is located. Preferably, the characteristics that medical staff are significantly different from non-medical staff in imageology may include the clothing of medical staff, the identity plates they wear, etc. In a hospital, the clothing of medical staff includes surgical gowns, isolation gowns, nurse uniforms, white coats, doctor hats, nurse hats, etc., while the clothing of non-medical staff such as patients and their family members usually includes hospital gowns and ordinary clothes. Therefore, there are significant differences in imageology between the clothing of non-medical staff and that of medical staff.

[0063] Preferably, the first processing unit 111 performs personnel recognition and classification on the image captured by the camera 121 through the following method:

[0064] S1. Obtain a foreground image from the video stream transmitted by the camera 121. The specific process includes: decomposing the obtained video stream, obtaining multiple single-frame video sequences according to the time sequence, and obtaining the foreground images corresponding to the multiple single-frame video sequences. The specific process of obtaining the foreground images corresponding to the multiple single-frame video sequences includes: performing background modeling on the video according to the content of the previous several frame video sequences, determining the current single-frame video sequence and the current background frame, determining the foreground image corresponding to the current single-frame video sequence based on the difference between the current single-frame video sequence and the background frame, and updating the background frame in real time according to the current frame video sequence.

[0065] S2. Determine the current time sequence in the video stream, determine moving targets from the foreground image, identify human targets, and extract the contour information of the human targets. Preferably, the contour information of the human targets can be determined based on the contour width and contour height of the human targets. Preferably, the specific process of determining human targets from the foreground image includes: extracting the features of the moving objects from the foreground image, analyzing and obtaining the contour information of the moving objects; solving the aspect ratio of the moving objects, setting a threshold according to the conventional shoulder width and height ratio of the human body, and identifying human targets.

[0066] S3.

The specific process includes: decomposing the contour information of the human target, dividing the human body according to human biological characteristics; and extracting the clothing feature values corresponding to each block in the contour information of the human body.

[0067] S4. Compare the obtained clothing feature values of each block with the preset clothing feature thresholds to determine the clothing categories of each block in the current frame, so as to determine whether the target is a medical staff according to the clothing categories.

[0068] Preferably, the first processing unit 111 classifies and identifies the personnel in the image collected by the camera 121, and divides the environment where the sharp container 200 is located into a first usage scenario where there are no medical staff, a second usage scenario where there are only medical staff, and a third usage scenario where there are both medical staff and non-medical staff.

[0069] Preferably, when the first processing unit 111 divides the environment where the sharp container 200 is located into the first usage scenario and the second usage scenario, the first processing unit 111 transmits the division result to the third processing unit 113. Preferably, when the division result received by the third processing unit 113 is the first usage scenario where there are no medical staff in the environment where the sharp container 200 is located, the third processing unit 113 sends a control instruction to the motor of the slide rail 131 to drive the free end 143 of the partition layer 141 to move away from the connection end 142, so as to unfold the partition board 141, isolate the sharp container 200 from the outside, and realize the enclosure of the sharp container 200. Preferably, when the division result received by the third processing unit 113 is the second usage scenario where there are only medical staff in the environment where the sharp container 200 is located, the third processing unit 113 sends a control instruction to the motor of the slide rail 131 to drive the free end 143 of the partition layer 141 to move towards the connection end 142, so as to fold the partition board 141, and then open the mouth of the sharp container 200, so that medical staff can place disposable syringe needles, ampoule residues, blades, sewing needles, etc. into the sharp container 200 to realize the collection of medical sharps.

[0070] Preferably, when the first processing unit 111 classifies the environment where the sharps container 200 is located into the third usage scenario, the first processing unit 111 transmits the image collected by the camera 121 to the second processing unit 112. Preferably, when the first processing unit 111 transmits the image collected by the camera 121 to the second processing unit 112, the recognition and classification result of the personnel in the image by the first processing unit 111 is synchronously sent to the second processing unit 112. Preferably, after receiving the image and the classification result transmitted by the first processing unit 111, the second processing unit 112 determines whether the medical staff notices the sharps container 200 to determine whether the medical staff has the intention to use the sharps container 200, and adjusts the working state of the response module 140 according to whether the medical staff has the intention to use the sharps container 200. Preferably, the second processing unit 112 can determine whether the sharps container 200 is within the field of vision of the medical staff through image recognition technology, and judge whether the medical staff has the intention to use the sharps container 200. The sharps container 200 is usually placed beside the worktable of the medical staff. When the medical staff does not use the sharps container 200, the sharps container 200 is usually out of the field of vision of the medical staff; when the medical staff needs to place sharps such as syringe needles, ampoule residues, blades, and suture needles into the sharps container 200, the medical staff must visually observe to determine the position of the sharps container 200 to avoid throwing the sharps outside the sharps container 200. Preferably, the second processing unit 112 can extract the eye image of the medical staff from the image collected by the camera 121 through image recognition technology. Preferably, when the second processing unit 112 can extract a complete eyeball image from the image collected by the camera 121, the second processing unit 112 can determine that the sharps container 200 is within the field of vision of the medical staff and the medical staff has the intention to use the sharps container 200. Preferably, when the second processing unit 112 cannot extract a complete eyeball image of the medical staff from the image collected by the camera 121, the second processing unit 112 can determine that the medical staff has no intention to use the sharps container 200.

[0071] Preferably, the first processing unit 111 performs primary processing on the image collected by the detection module 120 to screen out the images that need to be processed by the second processing unit 112, so that the second processing unit can perform secondary processing using the processing result of the first processing unit 111. Preferably, when performing image processing, the first processing unit 111 can process the full-size image collected by the detection module at a lower resolution to extract the image of the medical staff. When performing image processing, the second processing unit 112 can perform high-resolution processing only on the image of the medical staff extracted by the first processing unit 111, without performing high-resolution processing on the full-size image collected by the detection module 120, thereby reducing the data processing volume and improving the processing efficiency of the processing module.

[0072] Preferably, when the first processing unit 111 classifies and identifies the personnel in the image collected by the camera 121, it extracts the contour information of the human body target in the image. Preferably, after the first processing unit 111 determines the medical staff, it can intercept the image containing the head contour of the medical staff from the full-size image collected by the camera 121 and send it to the second processing unit 112 for processing.

[0073] Preferably, the second processing unit 112 can use the human eye recognition technology in the image processing technology to determine whether there are human eyes in the image containing the head contour of the medical staff. Preferably, the method of human eye recognition at least includes: grayscale conversion of the located face image, histogram equalization, binarization of the image according to the Otsu method to set the initial threshold, and re-binarization of the image by adjusting the threshold; initially screening out the black blocks of human eyes in the detected image. Preferably, when the second processing unit 112 recognizes the two eyes of the medical staff, it can determine that the sharp object box 200 is within the field of vision of the medical staff. Since the sharp object box 200 is usually placed at positions such as in the corner or beside the table leg, when the medical staff is working, the sharp object box 200 is usually outside the current field of vision of the medical staff. When the medical staff visually observes to determine the position of the sharp object box 200 to avoid throwing the syringe needle or ampoule residue outside the sharp object box 200, the sharp object box 200 will inevitably enter the field of vision of the medical staff. At this time, the camera 121 provided on the sharp object box 200 can collect an image containing the two eyes of the medical staff. Preferably, the second processing unit 112 determines whether the medical staff has the intention to use the sharp object box 200 by detecting whether there are two eyes in the image containing the head contour of the medical staff.

[0074] Preferably, this solution also notes that in a practical operation environment, the personnel composition in a certain environment is relatively complex, and the operation types and steps of medical staff are cumbersome. In the above basic embodiment, only matching whether the eye image of the medical staff exists within the detection range of the sharp object box cannot well reflect the intention of the medical staff to discard sharp objects. Because first, the medical staff may not be holding a sharp object, or may be holding a tool that is easily misjudged as a sharp object. More importantly, the medical staff may be holding a sharp object that has not been used yet. Some technologies may expect to use image matching to find the sharp object image in the environment, and some technologies may further distinguish the specific image of the sharp object to classify its usage situation. However, this solution believes that the above method is relatively difficult because the types of sharp objects themselves are diverse, and parameters such as shape, size, color, and transparency are all different. When performing image matching, it will be very difficult. Secondly, when the sharp object is carried by the medical staff, its position is also not fixed, and it is not certain whether it can be sufficiently exposed within the field of vision of the image acquisition component. Especially when the medical staff protects the sharp object in their hand or puts it in their pocket, the difficulty of matching the sharp object image is further increased.

[0075] Based on the above, preferably, the induction alarm device 100 is configured to be able to divide the proximity range centered on the position of the sharp instrument box 200. Further, the proximity range is configured into multiple sub-ranges: a first sub-range, a second sub-range, and a third sub-range. Judging from the distance from the range edge to the sharp instrument box 200, the first sub-range < the second sub-range < the third sub-range. Preferably, there are operable points in the environment where the sharp instrument box 200 is arranged. The operable point refers to the position where medical staff can interact, especially the position where contact interaction can be carried out. The contact interaction is, for example, operations such as picking up, grasping, pulling, pressing, etc. with hands. The operable point is an imaginary point position. Preferably, the setting rule of the sharp instrument box 200 and its supporting detection and switch structure in space is: taking the current position of the sharp instrument box 200 as the origin, the number of operable points in the first sub-range is lower than the first quantity threshold, and the number of operable points in the second sub-range and the third sub-range is not restricted. Preferably, the rule is: taking the current position of the sharp instrument box 200 as the origin, the number of operable points in the first sub-range is lower than the first quantity threshold, the number of operable points in the second sub-range is lower than the second quantity threshold, and the number of operable points in the third sub-range is not restricted. The first quantity threshold and the second quantity threshold can be set manually, and the first quantity threshold is less than the second quantity threshold. The first quantity threshold is controlled such that when the medical staff enters the first range, among the operations they can choose, except for the operation of throwing the sharp instrument into the sharp instrument box 200, the remaining operations are few enough so that the induction alarm device 100 can relatively easily judge the intention of the medical staff to discard the sharp instrument. Exemplarily, the sharp instrument box 200 is placed on a cabinet, and there is no other thing except the cabinet in the first sub-range around the sharp instrument box 200, that is, an empty space. Then the operable points in the first range are only limited to the cabinet and the sharp instrument box 200 placed on the cabinet. There are only two operable points, namely the cabinet itself and the sharp instrument box 200. Therefore, the induction alarm device 100 only needs to judge whether the medical staff wants to operate the cabinet or the sharp instrument box 200. In order to limit the number of operable points in the first sub-range, the first quantity threshold can be set manually to a value such as 5. Similarly, the second sub-range is a transition area. The induction alarm device 100 preliminarily judges the intention of the medical staff to discard, so as to be prepared for their possible entry into the first sub-range. There may be more operable points in the second sub-range than in the first sub-range. Therefore, the second quantity threshold can be set to a value such as 20 - 30. Preferably, when configuring the position of the sharp instrument box 200 according to the rule, it can be completed manually according to the rule, or the induction alarm device 100 can be used to check whether the current position conforms to the setting rule by means of image recognition of the operable points existing around. The recognition method can be realized by the prior art. Generally, it can be to obtain the object type and its preset operable information around by matching the appearance of the object, traverse the environment to obtain all operable points, accumulate the point quantity and then judge whether it conforms to the rule.

[0076] Preferably, when the medical staff image in the environment is recognized and the processing module 110 determines that the medical staff is in the third sub-range, the processing module 110 only controls the image acquisition component to lock the image acquisition focus on the medical staff (which can be the head or face recognition and tracking frame), without performing eye tracking recognition.

[0077] When the medical staff image in the environment is recognized and the processing module 110 determines that the medical staff is in the second sub-range, the processing module 110 controls the image acquisition component to acquire the eye image of the medical staff with the first precision, so as to determine the viewing direction of the medical staff at this precision. When it is determined that the viewing direction coincides with the position of the sharps container 200, the induction alarm device 100 sends a first recognition signal in the direction of the medical staff. The recognition signal can be a sound, such as regular beeping. Preferably, considering the sound interference in the environment, the recognition signal is given in the form of light, such as a high-brightness signal light, a red signal light, etc. The first recognition signal is different from the second recognition signal mentioned later in the display form. For example, the first recognition signal is a constantly lit light, and the second recognition signal is a flashing or double-flashing light. The first recognition signal implies the information of "the induction alarm device recognizes that you are paying attention to the sharps container" to the medical staff within the distance of the second sub-range. Medical staff who are aware of the meaning of the recognition signal can choose whether to continue looking at the sharps container 200 or move their line of sight away from the sharps container 200 according to their actual needs. When it is detected that the viewing direction of the medical staff moves and does not coincide with the position of the sharps container 200, the first recognition signal is stopped from being sent. While sending the first recognition signal or within a preset time after sending the first recognition signal (continuously sending the first recognition signal), the induction alarm device 100 can perform a preparation operation. The preparation operation can be an operation to prepare to open the switch of the sharps container 200 and / or an operation to prepare to invest more detection resources. For example, the sharps container 200 has at least two switches. In this case, the preparation operation is to open the first outer switch. Or for example, the sharps container 200 has multiple image acquisition devices. One type of image acquisition component has a longer focus distance and is used for image recognition at a distant position, and another type of image acquisition component has a shorter focus distance and is used for image recognition at a nearby position. In this case, the preparation operation is to power on and initialize the image acquisition component with a shorter focus distance. The above determination of whether the viewing direction coincides with the position of the sharp object can refer to the prior art.

[0078] When the processing module 110 determines that the medical staff is in the first sub-range upon recognizing an image of the medical staff in the environment, the processing module 110 controls the image acquisition component to acquire an eye image of the medical staff with a second precision, so as to determine the viewing direction of the medical staff at this precision. When it is determined that the viewing direction coincides with the position of the sharp instrument box 200, the induction alarm device 100 sends a second recognition signal in the direction of the medical staff. The above-mentioned first precision and second precision are different in terms of the effect of image acquisition, and the second precision is better than the first precision. For example, when using the same image acquisition component, the second precision has a higher data processing volume and acquisition frequency. When there are the above two types of image acquisition components, the quality of the images acquired by the component for near-range image acquisition is better than that of the other type with the first precision. Since there are very few operating points that the medical staff can choose within the first sub-range, combined with the detection of the second precision, the induction alarm device 100 can easily distinguish the usage intention of the medical staff, and can automatically open the sharp instrument box 200 after the medical staff continuously gazes at the sharp instrument box 200 for a preset time to receive discarded sharp instruments.

[0079] The above solution realizes accurate recognition of the intention of medical staff in a complex environment, further confirms the intention of medical staff by means of the feedback of the recognition signal, and designs the judgment method of the induction alarm device 100 based on the logic that the detection accuracy is low and the error rate is high at a long distance, while the detection accuracy is high and the error rate is low at a short distance, so that there is a possibility of opening the sharp instrument box 200 only when the medical staff is close enough, preventing the sharp instrument box 200 from being accidentally opened when the medical staff is not close to the sharp instrument box 200, which may cause accidents to irrelevant personnel staying near the sharp instrument box 200. The present invention does not need to obtain a confirmation method of contact from medical staff, and only needs to automatically judge their needs through non-contact eye contact, significantly improving the work efficiency and convenience of medical care, facilitating the opening of the sharp instrument box 200 when the hands are occupied, and the detection, judgment and confirmation method of the induction alarm device 100 can significantly reduce the data processing volume and processing difficulty, significantly improve the self-sustainability and robustness of the induction alarm device 100. Since this device may be used mobilely, the battery life of the device can be significantly improved.

[0080] Preferably, the second processing unit 112 sends the judgment result of its intention of the medical staff to use the sharp container 200 to the third processing unit 113. Preferably, when the judgment result received by the third processing unit 113 is that the medical staff has the intention to use the sharp container 200, the third processing unit 113 sends a control instruction to the motor of the slide rail 131 to drive the free end 143 of the partition layer 141 to move towards the direction close to the connection end 142, so as to fold the partition board 141, and then open the mouth of the sharp container 200, so that the medical staff can place disposable syringe needles, ampoule residues, blades, sewing needles, etc. into the sharp container 200. Preferably, when the judgment result received by the third processing unit 113 is that the medical staff has no intention to use the sharp container 200, the third processing unit 113 sends a control instruction to the motor of the slide rail 131 to drive the free end 143 of the partition layer 141 to move away from the connection end 142, so as to unfold the partition board 141, so that the sharp container 200 is isolated from the outside world, and the sharp container 200 is closed.

[0081] When the medical staff places sharp objects into the sharp container 200, although they will visually observe the position of the sharp container 200, during the process of placing the sharp objects, the medical staff may not always maintain visual observation of the sharp container 200. Preferably, to prevent the induction alarm device 100 from isolating the sharp container 200 from the outside world due to the second processing unit 112 determining that the medical staff has no intention to use the sharp container 200 during the process of the medical staff placing sharp objects, resulting in the sharp objects being unable to fall into the sharp container 200, after the partition board 141 of the induction alarm device 100 enters the first working state, it remains in the first working state for a preset duration, so as to ensure that after the medical staff determines the position of the sharp container 200, they can smoothly put the sharp objects into the sharp container 200 even without maintaining visual observation of the sharp container 200.

[0082] Preferably, in the third usage scenario, when the second processing unit 112 determines that the medical staff has the intention to use the sharp container 200, the third processing unit 113 adjusts the partition board 141 to the first working state and keeps the partition board 141 in the first working state for a preset duration. Preferably, during the process that the partition board 141 remains in the first working state and has not reached the preset duration, even if the second processing unit 112 determines that the medical staff has no intention to use the sharp container 200, the partition board 141 still remains in the first working state. Preferably, the preset duration can be set to 10 - 60 s.

[0083] Embodiment 2

[0084] This embodiment is a further improvement of Embodiment 1, and the repeated content will not be elaborated.

[0085] Preferably, in this embodiment, the response module 140 may further include an alarm such as a display, a speaker, and an alarm light that can transmit signals in the form of sound, light, and electrical signals.

[0086] Preferably, when the first processing unit 111 divides the environment where the sharps container 200 is located by identifying and classifying the personnel in the images collected by the camera 121, it can also determine the distance between the personnel and the sharps container 200. Preferably, the first processing unit 111 can convert the depth of field of non-medical staff in the images collected by the camera 121 into the actual distance between the non-medical staff and the camera 121 through image processing techniques such as camera ranging, so as to obtain the actual distance between the non-medical staff and the sharps container 200. When the actual distance between the non-medical staff and the sharps container 200 is lower than the preset distance, the non-medical staff enters the dangerous range and may come into contact with the sharps container 200, thereby knocking over the sharps container 200 or putting the limb into the sharps container 200, causing a needlestick injury. Preferably, the preset distance can be set to 50 cm to 100 cm.

[0087] Preferably, the first processing unit 111 transmits the distance between the non-medical staff and the sharps container 200 determined according to the images collected by the camera 121 to the third processing unit 113. Preferably, when the third processing unit 113 determines that the distance between the non-medical staff and the sharps container 200 is lower than the preset distance, the third processing unit 113 sends an instruction to the alarm in the response module 140, so that the alarm emits an alarm in at least one of the forms of sound, light, and electrical signals, thereby reminding the non-medical staff to stay away from the sharps container 200. The alarm not only reminds the non-medical staff to stay away from the sharps container 200 but also reminds the medical staff to persuade the non-medical staff or move the sharps container 200 to avoid danger.

[0088] See Figure 7 , preferably, the alarm may include a speaker 144 and an alarm light 145, and the speaker 144 and the alarm light 145 may be encapsulated together with the camera 121. Preferably, when an alarm is issued, the speaker 144 may emit a prompt sound or a persuasive voice such as "Do not approach", and the alarm light 145 may emit a prompt through a lighting method such as flashing or constant lighting.

[0089] Preferably, while sending an instruction to make the alarm emit an alarm, the third processing unit 113 also sends a control instruction to the motor of the slide rail 131, so that it drives the free end 143 of the partition layer 141 to move away from the connection end 142, thereby unfolding the partition board 141 and isolating the sharps container 200 from the outside world, realizing the enclosure of the sharps container 200, and avoiding danger caused by untimely handling by medical staff or the non-medical staff insisting on approaching the sharps container 200.

[0090] Preferably, the first processing unit 111 can also convert the depth of field in the image collected by the medical staff through the camera 121 into the actual distance between the medical staff and the camera 121 by means of image processing technology, so as to obtain the actual distance between the medical staff and the sharp instrument box 200.

[0091] Preferably, in the third usage scenario, the first processing unit 111 transmits the distance between the medical staff and the sharp instrument box 200 to the second processing unit 112. Preferably, when there are multiple medical staff in the environment where the sharp instrument box 200 is located, when the second processing unit 112 determines whether the medical staff has the intention to use the sharp instrument box 200, the second processing unit 112 can select the medical staff closer to the sharp instrument box 200 for judgment.
