Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of atomizers, and in particular to an automatic medicine-changing atomization device and system. Background Art

[0002] Nebulizers are primarily used to treat various upper and lower respiratory ailments, such as colds, fevers, coughs, asthma, sore throats, pharyngitis, rhinitis, bronchitis, pneumoconiosis, and other diseases affecting the trachea, bronchi, alveoli, and chest cavity. Nebulizer inhalation therapy is an important and effective treatment for respiratory diseases. A nebulizer inhaler atomizes liquid medication into tiny particles, which are then inhaled into the respiratory tract and deposited in the lungs, achieving painless, rapid, and effective treatment. Commonly used nebulizers are mainly divided into two types: compression nebulizers and mesh nebulizers. A compression nebulizer, for example, typically consists of a main unit, a nebulizer canister, and a mask. The main unit and nebulizer canister are connected via an airway, and the nebulizer canister and mask are detachably connected. To use, the medication is added to the nebulizer canister, the mask is placed on the face, and the main unit is turned on for nebulization therapy.

[0003] Currently, most patients receiving nebulizer treatment in hospitals receive several sets of medication. For example, they first receive a drug that dilates the trachea to aid absorption of subsequent medications, and then, after a certain interval, they receive a second set of medications. Due to the limited number of nebulizers in hospitals, patients who have completed the first set of medications need to allow another patient to receive treatment, and then they need to queue up again for medical staff to administer the second set of medications. If a patient requires multiple medications, they will have to queue up many times, wait times will be long, and the overall treatment efficiency of the hospital will also be poor.

[0004] To this end, there is a need for an automatic dressing change atomization device and system that is suitable for use in hospital scenarios and can shorten the atomization treatment time. Summary of the Invention

[0005] One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide an automatic dressing change atomization device that is suitable for use in hospital scenarios and can shorten the atomization treatment time.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] An automatic medicine-changing atomizing device comprises a main unit and a mask, and also comprises at least three atomizing cans and air tubes corresponding to the atomizing cans;

[0008] The main unit includes a shell, a compressor, a control module and a switching module. The switching module includes an air inlet pipe, air outlet pipes corresponding to the number of atomizer tanks, and solenoid valves that control the opening and closing of each air outlet pipe; the control module is electrically connected to each solenoid valve; the air inlet pipe is connected to the air outlet of the compressor, and the air outlet pipe is connected to the corresponding atomizer tank through an air pipe.

[0009] The basic scheme principles and beneficial effects are as follows:

[0010] This solution allows medical staff to load multiple drugs into the corresponding nebulizers at the same time by introducing at least three nebulizer cans and corresponding trachea. After the first patient completes one treatment, the control module controls the solenoid valve corresponding to the first nebulizer can to close and the solenoid valve corresponding to the second nebulizer can to open. The next patient connects the mask to the trachea corresponding to the second nebulizer can to complete one treatment. The control module controls the solenoid valve corresponding to the second nebulizer can to close and the solenoid valve corresponding to the third nebulizer can to open. The first patient connects the mask used for the first treatment to the trachea corresponding to the third nebulizer can and then undergoes the second treatment.

[0011] This solution allows medical staff to complete the configuration of multiple drugs at one time without the need for secondary operations. Switching between different drugs is faster, and patients can complete nebulization treatment in sequence without having to queue up repeatedly, greatly shortening the patient's waiting time, thereby significantly improving treatment efficiency and improving the patient's treatment experience.

[0012] A second object of the present invention is to provide an automatic dressing change atomization system, using the above device, wherein the control module includes:

[0013] An information receiving unit is used to receive allocation information of the nebulizer canister, the allocation information including the allocated nebulizer canister, the drug information corresponding to the allocated nebulizer canister, and the patient identity information; it is also used to obtain the drug loading information of the allocated nebulizer canister, mark the allocated nebulizer canister that has been loaded with drug as the nebulizer canister to be used, and mark the unallocated nebulizer canister as the idle nebulizer canister;

[0014] an identity verification unit, configured to use the first-order nebulizer canister to be used as the nebulizer canister in use, and further configured to receive verification information of the patient, and verify the verification information based on the identity information of the patient corresponding to the nebulizer canister in use;

[0015] The control unit is used to control the solenoid valve corresponding to the atomizer tank to open after the verification is passed; it is also used to receive a start instruction and control the compressor to start working according to the start instruction; it is also used to receive a stop instruction and control the compressor to stop working according to the stop instruction; it is also used to mark the atomizer tank in use as an idle atomizer tank according to the stop instruction;

[0016] A reminder unit, used for issuing a reminder message after the compressor stops working;

[0017] The identity verification unit is further configured to use the next-in-line atomizer can as the used atomizer can.

[0018] Through the information receiving unit in the control module, this solution enables the system to receive real-time information on the distribution and drug loading of the nebulizer canister, thereby effectively coordinating the treatment process for different patients. The identity verification unit ensures the accuracy of the patient's identity. Only patients who have passed the verification can start nebulization treatment, which improves the safety of treatment. Based on the verification results, the control unit controls the opening of the solenoid valve corresponding to the nebulizer canister and starts the compressor, realizing seamless automatic drug change and nebulization treatment. Patients do not need to queue up again, which significantly improves treatment efficiency, shortens treatment time, and reduces the workload of medical staff.

[0019] Furthermore, the control module also includes a display unit for displaying the patient identity information corresponding to the allocated nebulizer canister and the drug information corresponding to the nebulizer canister being used.

[0020] It is convenient for patients to check information before treatment and for medical staff to check information when filling medicine.

[0021] Furthermore, a server is included, and the control module further includes an information sending unit;

[0022] The information sending unit is used to send the idle atomizer tank information to the server;

[0023] The server is used to obtain the medical order information of the current queued patients, obtain the nebulization treatment data based on the medical order information, and allocate corresponding nebulizer tanks to the queued patients based on the idle nebulizer tank information, generate the nebulizer tank allocation information, and send it to the information receiving unit.

[0024] This solution integrates with the hospital information system, enabling access to pre-order information for patients currently in the queue and, based on this information, nebulizer treatment data. Based on this information, the server intelligently allocates available nebulizer canisters to the queued patients, generates canister allocation information, and transmits it to the information receiving unit. This enables timely acquisition and management of available canister information, effectively optimizing nebulizer resource allocation and utilization. The server intelligently assigns a canister to each patient based on their queue status, avoiding idle and wasted nebulizer resources and improving efficiency.

[0025] Furthermore, the information sending unit is further configured to send the information of the atomizer cans to be used and the information of the atomizer cans in use to the server, and the server is further configured to generate a medicine loading reminder information according to the allocation information of the atomizer cans and the information of the atomizer cans to be used.

[0026] Sending medication charging reminder information to the nurse station can remind medical staff to charge medication correctly.

[0027] Furthermore, the server is further configured to generate treatment sequence information based on the information of the nebulizer cans to be used and the information of the nebulizer cans used corresponding to each host, wherein the treatment sequence information includes the patient identity information corresponding to the nebulizer can currently being used by each host and the patient identity information corresponding to the nebulizer can next in line to be used;

[0028] The device also includes a display module for displaying treatment sequence information.

[0029] For example, the display module is an indoor LED display screen, through which patients can understand the current progress and make timely preparations.

[0030] Furthermore, the server is also used to obtain priority information of queued patients and allocate corresponding nebulizer cans to the queued patients according to the priority information.

[0031] Furthermore, when the server allocates corresponding nebulizer tanks to queued patients, the same patient is allocated to the same host.

[0032] Avoid patients switching between different hosts and causing confusion.

[0033] Furthermore, when the server allocates corresponding nebulizer cans to the queued patients, it obtains the nebulizer treatment data of the first-queue patient, identifies the number of medications used by the first-queue patient, and determines whether there is any host with a number of idle nebulizer cans greater than or equal to the number of medications used by the first-queue patient. If so, the first-queue patient is allocated to the corresponding host; if not, it obtains the nebulizer treatment data of the second-queue patient, identifies the number of medications used by the second-queue patient, and determines whether there is any host with a number of idle nebulizer cans greater than or equal to the number of medications used by the second-queue patient. If so, the second-queue patient is allocated to the host, and then any host is allocated to the first-queue patient. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a first embodiment of an automatic medicine-changing atomization device;

[0035] Figure 2 This is a logic block diagram of a first embodiment of an automatic medicine-changing atomization system. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:

[0037] The symbols in the drawings of the specification include: main unit 1, atomizing tank 2, and air pipe 3.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figure 1The automatic dressing-changing atomizing device of the embodiment shown includes a main unit 1 and a mask, and also includes at least two atomizing tanks 2 and air tubes 3 corresponding to the atomizing tanks. In this embodiment, the number of atomizing tanks 2 is five.

[0040] The main unit 1 includes a shell, a compressor, a control module and a switching module. The switching module includes an air inlet pipe, air outlet pipes corresponding to the number of atomizer tanks, and solenoid valves that control the opening and closing of each air outlet pipe; the control module is electrically connected to each solenoid valve; the air inlet pipe is connected to the air outlet of the compressor, and the air outlet pipe is connected to the corresponding atomizer tank through the air pipe 3.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also provides an automatic medicine changing atomization system, which uses the above-mentioned device and also includes a server and a display module.

[0042] The control module specifically includes: an information receiving unit, an information sending unit, an identity verification unit, a control unit, and a reminder unit.

[0043] The information receiving unit is used to receive the allocation information of the nebulizer canister, and the allocation information includes the allocated nebulizer canister, and the drug information and patient identity information corresponding to the allocated nebulizer canister; it is also used to obtain the loading information of the allocated nebulizer canister, mark the allocated nebulizer canister that has been loaded with medicine as a nebulizer canister to be used, and mark the unallocated nebulizer canister as an idle nebulizer canister; in this embodiment, a touch display screen is set on the shell of the host as an input panel, and after the medical staff loads the nebulizer canister with medicine, they input the loading information through the input panel.

[0044] The identity verification unit is configured to identify the first-in-line nebulizer canister to be used as the active nebulizer canister, and is further configured to receive verification information from the patient and verify the verification information based on the patient's identity information corresponding to the active nebulizer canister. In this embodiment, the nebulizer canisters on the same host are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, which also serve as the order of use. For example, the verification information could be the patient's queue number, which is bound to the patient's identity information. Upon entering the correct queue number, verification is successful.

[0045] The display unit is used to display the patient identity information corresponding to the assigned nebulizer canister and the medication information corresponding to the nebulizer canister in use. In this embodiment, the display unit displays the patient identity information and medication information via a touch screen display. In other words, all assigned nebulizer canisters, including those in use, display the patient identity information, making it easier for patients and medical staff to confirm the corresponding nebulizer canister. Only the medication information corresponding to the nebulizer canister in use is displayed, so the current patient cannot see the medication information of the next patient, thus protecting patient privacy.

[0046] The control unit is configured to control the opening of the solenoid valve corresponding to the atomizer can in use after verification is passed; is further configured to receive a start instruction and control the compressor to start operation according to the start instruction; is further configured to receive a stop instruction and control the compressor to stop operation according to the stop instruction; and is further configured to mark the atomizer can in use as an idle atomizer can according to the stop instruction. In this embodiment, a switch button is provided on the housing of the main body. Pressing the switch button inputs the start instruction, and pressing the switch button again inputs the stop instruction. A single switch button can be provided, or one can be provided for each atomizer can.

[0047] The reminding unit is used to send out a reminder message after the compressor stops working. In this embodiment, a buzzer is used to send out a reminder sound.

[0048] The information sending unit is used to send the idle atomizer tank information to the server.

[0049] The identity verification unit is further configured to use the next-in-line atomizer can as the used atomizer can.

[0050] The server is used to obtain the information of the current queued patients and the medical order information of the current queued patients, obtain the nebulization treatment data according to the medical order information, and also to allocate the corresponding nebulizers to the queued patients according to the information of the idle nebulizers, generate the allocation information of the nebulizers, and send it to the information receiving unit of each host. The allocation information includes the nebulizers corresponding to the patients and the drugs that need to be loaded in each nebulizer, for example, nebulizers No. 1, 3, and 5 of host A, nebulizer No. 1 xxx drugs, nebulizer No. 3 xxx drugs, and nebulizer No. 5 xxx drugs. If the nebulizer allocated to the current host is occupied, it will be marked. For example, nebulizers No. 1, 3, and 5 of host A have been allocated to other patients. The current patient allocation information is nebulizers No. 2, 4, and 1 of host A, nebulizer No. 2 xxx drugs, nebulizer No. 4 xxx drugs, and nebulizer No. 1 xxx drugs (nebulizer No. 1 will be refilled after the previous patient has finished using it).

[0051] The information transmission unit is further configured to transmit the information about the nebulizer cans to be used and the information about the nebulizer cans in use to the server. The server is further configured to generate a medication loading reminder based on the nebulizer can allocation information and the information about the nebulizer cans to be used. The nebulizer cans to be used indicate that they are loaded with medication. The information about the nebulizer cans to be used can be used to filter out which of the allocated nebulizer cans are not loaded with medication. In this embodiment, the medication loading reminder is transmitted to the nurse station to remind medical staff to load medication.

[0052] The server is further configured to generate treatment sequence information based on the information of the nebulizer cans to be used and the information of the nebulizer cans used corresponding to each host. The treatment sequence information includes the patient identity information corresponding to the nebulizer can currently being used by each host and the patient identity information corresponding to the nebulizer can next in line to be used.

[0053] The display module is used to display the treatment sequence information. In this embodiment, the display module adopts an LED display screen installed outside the treatment room.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the server in this embodiment is further configured to obtain priority information of the patients in the queue and assign corresponding nebulizer canisters to the patients in the queue according to the priority information. For example, rules such as priority for the elderly and priority for soldiers can be set.

[0056] When the server assigns corresponding nebulizer tanks to queued patients, the same patient is assigned to the same host.

[0057] Specifically, when the server assigns a corresponding nebulizer canister to a queued patient, it obtains the nebulizer treatment data of the first-in-line patient, identifies the number of medications used by the first-in-line patient, and determines whether there is a host with a number of idle nebulizer canisters greater than or equal to the number of medications used by the first-in-line patient. If so, the first-in-line patient is assigned to the corresponding host;

[0058] If not, obtain the nebulization treatment data of the second-queue patient, identify the number of medications used by the second-queue patient, and determine whether there is any host with a number of idle nebulizer canisters greater than or equal to the number of medications used by the second-queue patient. If so, assign the second-queue patient to the host, and then assign any host to the first-queue patient; if not, randomly assign a host to the first-queue patient.

[0059] For example, there are two hosts, A and B, each with nebulizer canisters 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Nebulizer canisters 1, 3, and 5 are allocated to both hosts. If the number of medications currently required by the first-line patient is 3 and the number of medications required by the second-line patient is 2, medications are allocated to the second-line patient first, followed by the first-line patient. If the number of medications currently required by the first-line patient is 3 and the number of medications required by the second-line patient is 3, and both hosts have insufficient available nebulizer canisters, medications are allocated to the first-line patient first.

[0060] This embodiment dynamically analyzes and matches the number of medications required by queued patients and the number of idle nebulizer canisters on the host, thereby reasonably arranging the treatment sequence of patients and the usage of the host, ensuring the continuity of the treatment process, reducing patients' waiting time, and improving efficiency.

[0061] Example 3

[0062] The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that, in this embodiment, when allocating nebulizers to patients in the first or second queue, if there are more than one host to which the nebulizers meet the requirements (after the judgment conditions of the second embodiment are passed, it is deemed to meet the requirements), the host is selected based on the drugs that have been allocated to the nebulizers in the allocable hosts and the drugs used by the current patient. Specifically, the hosts with different adjacent drugs after allocation are given priority. For example, there are currently two hosts, A and B, and each host has nebulizers No. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Nebulizers No. 1, 3, and 5 of both hosts A and B are allocated. If the number of drugs used by patients in the first queue is 3 and the number of drugs used by patients in the second queue is 3, the number of idle nebulizers remaining in the hosts is insufficient, and the patients in the first queue are allocated first. Both hosts A and B meet the requirements. If it is allocated to host A, and the drugs of nebulizer No. 1 and nebulizer No. 2 are the same, then host A is excluded and allocated to host B. By following the different rules for adjacent drugs during dispensing, the risk of incorrect drug dispensing (the drug name may be the same, but the dosage may be different) can be reduced when medical staff are dispensing the drugs.

[0063] The above are only embodiments of the present invention. The invention is not limited to the fields involved in this implementation case.
