[0030] like Figure 4 and Fig.14 As shown, the outward expansion support rod assembly 20 includes: a connecting rod and a support rod, one end of the connecting rod is connected to the middle of the support rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the outward expansion slider 21, and a layer of rubber pad 19 is provided on the support rod.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the information collection module includes: an upper shell 15, which is arranged on the top of the shell, and a laser radar 16 is arranged on the top of the shell. The upper shell 15 is also provided with an indicator light 13 through a support column 14, wherein the indicator light 13 and the laser radar 16 are both electrically connected to the control module, and the control module is used to control the indicator light 13 to light up and give a warning when the laser radar 16 detects an obstacle.

[0032] A smart medical automatic auxiliary information collection method includes: controlling a trolley component to work according to switch command information of a ward, that is, controlling the trolley component to run to a toilet component to support the toilet component; controlling the trolley component to move to a corresponding ward according to a trajectory planned in a control module for patients to defecate; controlling the trolley component to move from the ward to a manipulator component and an image acquisition component, and having the manipulator component take the bedpan in the toilet component on the trolley component and place it in an identification area 10 of the image acquisition component; the image acquisition component acquires an image of the patient's excrement in the bedpan, and transmits the excrement image to a medical data storage system for subsequent review by a doctor.

[0033] Specific working principle like Figure 2 As shown, the present invention includes four stages: The first stage is the processing stage, in which the robot assembly disinfects the device in the processing workshop, replaces the bedpan 12 used by the patient, and waits for the task command. The patient can issue the task command and call the device through the button on the bed.

[0034] The second stage is the driving stage. After the controller 17 receives the command, the controller 17 of the present invention controls the driving motor 43 of the trolley assembly 18 to start and provide power for the trolley assembly 18. When the trolley assembly moves to the specified position, the linear motor slider of the linear motor 23 moves along the linear motor guide rail 25 through the moving range set by the controller 17. That is, the outward expansion support assembly moves along the movement direction away from the trolley assembly 18, and the limit buffer device is used to reduce the impact vibration of the slider. At this time, the controller 17 controls the rotation of the rotating motor 34 to drive the turntable 32 to rotate, and then drives the outward expansion slider 21 to slide along the outward expansion guide rail 28 to both sides of the trolley assembly 18. That is, the outward expansion support rod assembly 20 expands outward to support the toilet assembly 11 to be fixed. In order to realize the function of the subsequent intelligent medical automatic auxiliary equipment to carry the toilet assembly 11 to the specified position. During the driving process of the intelligent medical automatic assistance device, the battery 38 inside the trolley assembly 18 supplies power to the drive motor 43 of the drive system of the trolley assembly 18, controls the rotation of the drive motor 43, and the drive motor 43 drives the differential 46 to rotate. The output end of the differential 46 drives the transmission shaft of the driving wheel 45 to rotate through the coupling, so that the intelligent medical automatic assistance device can complete the forward movement. When driving to a bend in the path or avoiding obstacles, the servo 41 starts to work, driving the steering gear 40 to rotate, and then driving the steering wheel 39 to rotate, realizing the steering of the steering wheel 42, that is, realizing the turning of the trolley assembly 18. During the driving process of the intelligent medical automatic assistance device, if it suddenly encounters pedestrians or other static or dynamic obstacles, the control center can display relevant information and prompts through indicator lights, and at the same time control the device to avoid obstacles by means of steering and deceleration.

[0035] The third stage is the working stage. After the trolley assembly 18 of the present invention moves to the designated position near the bed of the corresponding ward, the self-locking structure 37 is started. The control module of the self-locking structure 37 controls the double-headed linear motor 51 to be energized. The double-headed linear motor 51 extends linearly to drive the caliper 47 to rotate around the connecting shaft 49, so that the two brake pads 52 move toward each other until the two brake pads 52 are respectively pressed against the two sides of the wheel hub 36, thereby clamping the wheel hub 36 and realizing the self-locking function of the driving wheel 45. This prevents the patient from shifting the device when using the device. If the device needs to release the self-locking, that is, after the trolley assembly 18 completes the task, the double-headed linear motor 51 is controlled to retract, and the two brake pads 52 release the clamping of the wheel hub 36, thereby releasing the self-locking.

[0036] The fourth stage is the return stage. During the process of the trolley assembly 18 going to the manipulator assembly and the image acquisition assembly in the treatment area, the movement process is the same as going to the ward area. After the patient finishes using the work platform, he arrives at the treatment workshop along the prescribed path. The manipulator assembly takes the bedpan 12 and places it in the identification area 10 of the image acquisition assembly to collect the excrement image. After the collection is completed, the manipulator assembly takes the bedpan 12 and disinfects it in the treatment workshop. After the disinfection is completed, the trolley assembly 18 of the device returns to the first treatment stage; the control center 17 controls the external expansion motor 34 to reverse and retract the external expansion support rod assembly 20. The external expansion slider 21 moves in the opposite direction along the external expansion guide rail 28 to separate the trolley assembly 18 from the supporting toilet assembly 11. The supporting toilet assembly 11 is wiped and disinfected and the bedpan is replaced. The device places the bedpan 12 containing the patient's excrement into the image recognition area 10 through the mechanical claw 1 of the manipulator assembly, and digitizes the image through the digital camera 8 of the image acquisition assembly, performs image recognition on the patient's excrement, and transmits the information after image processing to the information terminal. After waiting for this work to be completed, the device is supported and fixed to the supporting toilet assembly 11 to complete this work and wait for the next task.

[0037] It should be noted that the built-in system of the controller 17 of the present invention includes: a front-end system and a back-end system. The front-end system extracts feature information based on the environmental information observed by the laser radar 16, and estimates the position and map of the device using the Kalman filter method. Then the position and map of the device are passed to the back-end, and the Kalman filter is used to optimize and estimate to obtain a map with global consistency, and finally a map constructed by SLAM technology is obtained. The front-end system obtains the updated information of the position and posture of the device by filtering, and the back-end system optimizes the global position and landmark information of the robot based on the optimization method.

[0038] The front-end system obtains environmental information: The front-end system uses the TOF ranging method of the laser radar 16 to obtain information around the device. After scanning, the laser radar obtains a set of point clouds reflected by objects in the environment. For the obtained scanned point clouds, the common features are points, line segments, and planes. According to the advantages and disadvantages of each feature, this device uses the line segment fitting method of the laser radar in the process of building a map to build a map.

[0039] The backend system optimizes the map: After obtaining the LiDAR 16 data. The device first initializes the Kalman filter and defines the initial pose, initial covariance, process noise covariance, and observation noise covariance. Then, the device performs SLAM to build the map through iterative prediction and update steps. In this process, the robot's pose is updated using the LiDAR data, and the extracted data is used to build the environment map. Finally, the updated pose estimate and environment map of the device are obtained.

[0040] Run the program as follows: Initialize Kalman filter

[0041] Define the initial pose kf.x = np.array([[0.0],[0.0],[0.0]] Define initial covariance

[0042] Defining process noise covariance

[0043] Define the observation noise covariance kf.R = np.array([[0.1]]) Build an environment map, assuming the map is 100×100 map = np.zeros((100, 100)) Build SLAM maps for i in range(num_lidar_readings): predict kf.predict() renew kf.update(lidar_data[i]) Updated environment map map[int(kf.x[0]), int(kf.x[1])]+= 1.

[0044] This device uses LiDAR to detect obstacles around it and take corresponding actions to avoid them (such as stopping, backing up, and turning). During operation, the LiDAR emits lasers and measures the echo time, and then determines whether there is an obstacle based on the measured distance. When the distance is less than the set threshold (set to 30 cm), the robot will perform obstacle avoidance actions: stop, back up, and turn. Otherwise, the robot will continue to move forward. By uploading the code to Arduino (control platform) and connecting the motor and sensor, the device can automatically avoid obstacles when an obstacle is detected.

[0069] The information acquisition module includes two parts: image processing and image recognition. The image processing process of this device is to obtain a digitized image through a digital camera, convert it into a digital image, and store it in a computer. Then perform image enhancement to improve the clarity and quality of the image, so that the outline of the object in the image is clearer and the details are more obvious. Lay the foundation for later image analysis and image understanding. Due to image blur caused by motion, the intensity of ambient light and other reasons, the image is blurred. In order to extract a clearer image, the image needs to be restored. Image restoration mainly uses filtering methods to restore the degraded image to the original image. Secondly, through image coding and compression technology, the amount of redundant data and memory capacity of the image are reduced, the image transmission speed is increased, and the processing time is shortened. This device uses a segmentation method based on regional features to mark and locate the target and background in the image, and then separates the target from the background, laying the foundation for image classification.

[0070] The program code is as follows. Before image recognition, the image usually needs to be preprocessed, including grayscale, binarization, and denoising operations.

[0072] Reading an Image

[0073] Convert to grayscale image

[0074] Binarization ; Among them, this device adopts a neural network image recognition model that integrates genetic algorithm and BP network. In the image recognition system, the neural network system is used to first extract the features of the image, and then the features of the image are mapped to the neural network for image recognition and classification. When this device places the bedpan in the specified position, the detection device will sense it. At this time, the detection device will enable the image acquisition device to obtain the image of the patient's excrement. After the image is acquired, the image is uploaded to the computer for storage for identification, and the image features are extracted by using the ORB algorithm. Finally, the analysis module will extract the patient's relevant information and extract the features of the excrement, so that the doctor can analyze the excrement image after the feature extraction.

[0075] The following is the program code for extracting features using the ORB algorithm:
