BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a method for returning an infusion pump according to the present invention; Figure 2 is a flow chart of a method for using an infusion pump according to the present invention; Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of the infusion pump management system of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0017] Embodiment 1: The present invention discloses an infusion pump management method, including: an infusion pump returning method and an infusion pump taking method; like Figure 1 As shown, the method for returning the infusion pump specifically includes the following steps: S1: The information processing unit obtains the state of the smart lock in the charging compartment after the infusion pump is placed through the reading unit, and determines whether the smart lock is in a normal working state. If so, a locking command is issued to the smart lock, and step S2 is executed; if not, the fault condition is reported to the remote end; S2: The information processing unit obtains the status of the charging compartment through the reading unit, and determines whether the infusion pump is successfully placed in the charging compartment. If so, execute step S3; if not, report the fault to the remote end; S3: The information processing unit obtains the battery status of the infusion pump in the charging compartment through the reading unit, and determines whether the battery status of the infusion pump is normal. If so, execute step S4; if not, report the fault to the remote end; S4: The information processing unit determines whether the infusion pump battery voltage is less than the set value. If so, it sends a charging instruction to the charging compartment to charge the infusion pump battery; if not, it maintains the current state of the charging compartment; the battery voltage is generally limited to 7.2V. When the battery voltage is less than 7.2V, the infusion pump battery is charged; when the battery voltage is ≥7.2V, it is considered that the current battery is saturated and does not need to be charged. In the specific implementation process, it can also be linked with the indicator light. If the current infusion pump status is charging, the indicator light is red; if the current infusion pump status is charging completed, the indicator light is green; if the current infusion pump status is faulty, the indicator light is yellow.

[0018] like Figure 2 As shown, the method for using the infusion pump specifically includes the following steps: D1: The information processing unit verifies the identity of the operator through the reading unit; D2: Determine whether the operator has the authority to use the pump. If so, execute step D3; if not, return to step D1 and report the abnormal situation to the remote end; unauthorized personnel cannot take the pump at will to avoid accidental loss of the infusion pump.

[0019] The methods for verifying the identity of the operator include face recognition, RFID recognition, and password recognition; The face recognition method is as follows: The information processing unit recognizes the face through the reading unit, performs face alignment and feature extraction operations in sequence, and matches the extracted features with the features stored in the database; The RFID identification method is as follows: The information processing unit identifies the information of the RFID card through the reading unit, and matches the information data of the RFID card with the information data stored in the database; The password identification method is as follows: The information processing unit identifies the input password information through the reading unit and matches the password information with the password data stored in the database.

[0020] D3: The information processing unit obtains the battery status of the selected infusion pump through the reading unit according to the operation instruction, and determines whether the battery power reaches the set value. If so, execute step D4; if not, inform the operator through the display unit that the current infusion pump is temporarily unavailable, and return to step D1; by judging the battery power of the infusion pump to be used, it is restricted to not use the infusion pump with too low battery power, so as to avoid the situation of insufficient battery power during use.

[0021] In general, the battery power setting value is 80% of the total battery power, that is, when the current battery power percentage is less than 80%, the information processing unit displays charging and the pump cannot be taken; If 80%≤current battery power percentage<100%, the information processing unit displays charging, but the pump can be removed; If the current battery charge percentage reaches 100%, the information processing unit displays that charging is complete and the pump can be removed.

[0022] D4: The information processing unit obtains the status of the smart lock in the charging compartment through the reading unit to determine whether the smart lock is in normal working condition. If so, it sends an unlocking command to the smart lock to eject the infusion pump from the charging compartment; if not, it returns to step D1 and reports the fault to the remote end. Medical staff can determine which infusion pump can be used based on the displayed information. If a battery failure occurs, it can prevent medical staff from using a faulty infusion pump on the patient, resulting in a medical accident.

[0023] The infusion pump search method specifically includes the following steps: The remote end reads the location information of the charging cabinet and the status information of the infusion pump in each charging compartment sent by each information processing unit based on the RTK positioning unit, matches the nearest charging cabinet based on the location information of the operator who needs the infusion pump, and sends the charging cabinet location information to the operator. This allows medical staff to quickly locate and use the equipment, providing them with a more efficient, safer and more convenient way of use.

[0024] Embodiment 2: like Figure 3 As shown, an infusion pump management system using an infusion pump management method includes: The charging cabinet completes the placement and removal of the infusion pump and the charging of the infusion pump through the set reading unit, information processing unit, and communication unit; the charging cabinet provides two charging methods: wireless charging and contact charging. Among them, the wireless charging is to design a wireless charging transmitter module at the bottom of each charging compartment. When the medical staff returns the infusion pump to the charging compartment, according to the judgment of the information processing module on the status information of the charging compartment, the status information of the smart lock, the battery status information of the infusion pump, and the identity information of the operator, when wireless charging is selected, the wireless charging method is started until the infusion pump battery is fully charged; contact charging is to set charging contacts at the contact position of the infusion pump charging port. When the medical staff returns the infusion pump to the charging compartment, according to the judgment of the information processing module on the status information of the charging compartment, the status information of the smart lock, the battery status information of the infusion pump, and the identity information of the operator, when contact charging is selected, the contact charging method is started until the infusion pump battery is fully charged; when charging is completed, the charging unit will automatically cut off to prevent battery overcharging.

[0025] Both charging methods reduce the number of times the traditional charging port is plugged in and out, reducing the failure rate of the charging port; it is more convenient for medical staff to operate, and the contact and wireless charging methods reduce the risks of leakage and fire caused by aging and high temperature of the charging cable; both charging methods are designed with the function of automatically cutting off the power when fully charged, which is safer and more reliable, prevents battery overcharging, and increases battery life.

[0026] The reading unit reads the status information of each charging compartment of the charging cabinet, the status information of the smart lock, the battery status information of the infusion pump, and the identity information of the operator, and sends the read information to the information processing unit; The information processing unit compares the read information with the corresponding standard data, determines whether each information meets the standard, responds to each information, and sends the response to the communication unit; The communication unit converts the response of the information processing unit into relevant instructions and sends them to each charging compartment, smart lock and remote end; The RTK positioning unit sends the location information of the charging cabinet to the remote end through RTK positioning. The high-precision positioning of RTK can more accurately determine the location of the charging base station on each floor, which helps to quickly find the required infusion pump resources in an emergency.

[0027] At the remote end, by receiving the location information and status information of each charging cabinet, the real-time determination of the location of each charging cabinet and the determination of the status of each infusion pump in each charging cabinet are completed.

[0028] Relay unit, which expands network coverage, improves signal quality, and diverts network traffic by adding relays; The display unit displays the status of the charging compartment and the battery status of the infusion pump on the display screen, and displays and verifies relevant content according to the operation of the operator.

[0029] In addition, the system can also be equipped with relevant current limiting units, overvoltage protection units, overcurrent protection units, temperature monitoring units, short-circuit protection units, insulation protection units, overload protection units, etc. Among them, current limiting ensures that the charging device does not exceed its rated current to prevent overload and overheating; overvoltage protection is to add an overvoltage protection device in the circuit to prevent the power supply voltage from exceeding the rated voltage range of the device; overcurrent protection is to prevent the current from exceeding the safe range through an overcurrent protection switch. Temperature monitoring: Use a temperature sensor or thermistor to monitor the temperature of the charging device, and take corresponding measures when the temperature is too high to reduce the charging current or stop charging to avoid overheating and fire risks; short-circuit protection is to add a short-circuit protection device in the circuit to prevent the short-circuit current from being too large, causing equipment damage or fire; insulation protection is to ensure proper insulation between the charging circuit and the charging device to prevent electrical leakage and electric shock hazards. Overload protection is to use an overload protection device in the circuit to prevent the entire circuit from being overloaded.

[0030] Embodiment 3: A computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program, wherein when the computer program is executed by a processor, the device where the computer-readable storage medium is located executes an infusion pump management method.

[0031] Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
