[0046] The eyelid separation manipulator 1023 is used to separate the upper and lower eyelids of the patient under the control of the control host 1021 to expose the conjunctival sac;

[0047] The rotating flushing head 1024 is connected to the intelligent eyewash pot 1022 and is used to flush the pharynx of the patient where the conjunctival sac is exposed under the control of the control host 1021;

[0048] The water receiver 1012 is used to receive the flushing waste water and flow it into the flushing collector 1025 for collection.

[0049] In the actual operation process, medical staff need to use cotton swabs and other tools to flip the patient's upper and lower eyelids to expose the conjunctival sac, and then use a handheld flushing tube to flush the patient's conjunctival sac in all directions. The flushing force should be appropriate to avoid damaging the eyes due to excessive flushing force, and the temperature should also be properly controlled.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present invention, the seat 1011 of the smart chair 101 can be adjusted in angle to adapt to the patient's supine position or sitting position. The water receiver 1012 can be adjusted to fit the patient's face, especially the temporal side, to effectively collect the flushing liquid and prevent contamination.

[0051] When the patient is in supine or sitting position, you can remind the patient to tilt his head back and lean towards the affected side. If necessary, gently close his eyes and prepare for the flushing.

[0052] In order to effectively collect and move the flushing supplies and tools as a whole, a bracket 102 is provided, on which a control host 1021, an intelligent eyewash pot 1022, an eyelid separation robot arm 1023, a rotating flushing head 1024 and a flushing liquid collector 1025 are provided. The flushing liquid collector 1025 is connected to the liquid outlet end of the water receiver 1012.

[0053] The following is a description of each tool:

[0054] The rotating flushing head 1024 is arranged on the folding arm, and includes a rotating head, one end of the rotating head is connected to the flushing head 1024, and the other end is connected to the stepping motor, and the stepping motor is connected to the control host 1021. The stepping motor is controlled by the control host 1021, and then the rotating head is driven to rotate, thereby driving the flushing head to rotate, and realizing automatic flushing. The folding arm can fold or unfold the rotating flushing head, and can also control the position of the rotating flushing head 1024 in the general direction. The rotating head is used for positioning in a small direction.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, a micro pump is provided between the smart eyewash pot 1022 and the rotating flushing head 1024, and the micro pump is connected to the control host 1021. The control host 1021 controls the micro pump to achieve control of flow rate and flow velocity.

[0056] A pressure sensor and a flow sensor are arranged in the rotating flushing head 1024, and both the pressure sensor and the flow sensor are connected to the control host 1021; the pressure sensor is used to monitor the pressure information of the flushing liquid during the flushing process; the flow sensor is used to monitor the flow information of the flushing liquid during the flushing process; the control host 1021 determines whether the flushing liquid is over-pressurized based on the pressure information, and determines whether the flushing liquid is over-flushed based on the flow information; when there is over-pressure or over-flushing, the micro pump is controlled to be turned off.

[0057] Of course, the opening of the micro pump can also be controlled based on the pressure information and flow information to achieve pressure control and flow control. The flushing mode can be conventional flushing, strong flushing, pulse flushing, etc., which can be set according to needs.

[0058] The smart eyewash pot 1022 stores flushing liquid, and the storage amount is the amount for one flushing to avoid excessive waste. The flushing liquid is specifically physiological saline or specific medicine.

[0059] The smart eyewash pot 1022 is provided with a temperature sensor and a heating element, and both are connected to the control host 1021. The control host 1021 is used to control the heating element to start heating when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature of the flushing liquid in the smart eyewash pot 1022 is lower than a preset temperature.

[0060] Generally, the temperature of the flushing liquid is set at 32-34°C, and it may be adjusted according to seasonal changes. In an optional embodiment, when the temperature is below 32°C, the heating element is turned on. When the temperature exceeds 34°C, the heating element is turned off. The inner wall of the smart eyewash pot 1022 is provided with antibacterial and heat-insulating materials to ensure sterility and constant temperature.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the bracket 102 is further provided with:

[0062] A camera, connected to the control host 1021, for collecting images of the patient's eye position;

[0063] The display screen is connected to the control host 1021 and is used to display the image.

[0064] The control host 1021 is also used to: locate the patient's eye area based on the image; control the eyelid separation robot to align the patient's eyelid area based on the patient's eye area, and control the rotating flushing head to align the patient's eye area and start flushing.

[0065] Specifically, the camera continuously collects images until an eye image is collected. Specifically, the collected image can be input into an eye recognition model to identify and determine whether it is an eye, and determine whether the entire eye area is collected based on the confidence of the eye recognition model. The eye recognition model is used to train based on a large number of eye images and images of other facial areas.

[0066] After locating the image of the patient's eye position, the eye area is framed out by frame selection. The eyelid separation manipulator 1023 is controlled to be aligned with the patient's eyelid position, and the rotating washing head 1024 is controlled to be aligned with the patient's eye area.

[0067] Among them, the eyelid separation robot 1023 includes: a robot arm, an eyelid separation end, including a rotating shaft and an eyelid opening resistance end, and the eyelid opening resistance end rotates or locks with the rotating shaft; a control host 1021, which is also used to control the eyelid separation end to open the patient's eyelid to a preset opening.

[0068] Specifically, a silicone sleeve is provided on the end surface of the eyelid-opening resistance end, which is used to abut against the eyelid to flip the eyelid. The silicone sleeve is provided with a dent to increase friction and facilitate flipping the eyelid. After flipping into place, the eyelid-opening resistance end is controlled to lock. Figure 2 Shown is a schematic diagram of turning over the upper eyelid.

[0069] By setting the appropriate flushing mode and parameters, flushing is turned on so that the rotating flushing head 1024 is gently placed close to the patient's eyes to ensure a close fit with the conjunctival sac. When flushing begins, the camera continuously collects images of the flushing process and determines whether the flushing is smooth based on the comfort level of the eyes. If it is detected that the flushing is not smooth, the flushing water volume can be reduced. Specifically, it is determined that the flushing is not smooth when the patient squints his eyes.

[0070] Of course, in order to pay attention to the patient's discomfort in time, medical staff can also monitor the operation of these devices and shut them down in time if the patient becomes unwell.

[0071] In an optional embodiment, the device further includes: a voice collection module connected to the control host 1021; the voice collection module is used to collect voice information of medical staff or patients; the control host 1021 is used to control the flushing of the rotating flushing head based on the voice information.

[0072] For example, when the patient finds that the amount of water is too large during the flushing process, he can say "reduce it a little bit". At this time, the control host 1021 controls the opening of the micro pump to be reduced based on the voice information. Through voice control, the flushing effect can be achieved faster, and the control efficiency is improved.

[0073] In an optional embodiment, a storage compartment is also provided on the bracket for storing flushing liquid and sterile gauze, so as to facilitate the storage and access of medicines.

[0074] Moreover, a pulley is provided at the bottom of the bracket 102 so that the bracket 102 can be moved at any time for easy position change.

[0075] After the flushing is finished, the medical staff gently wipes the patient's eye area skin with sterile gauze to remove the residual flushing fluid and secretions. The used flushing fluid, gauze and other waste are placed in the medical waste bin and disposed of in accordance with regulations. Then, the various accessories and utensils on the bracket 102 and the seat 1011 are cleaned and disinfected to reduce maintenance costs.

[0076] The control host 1021 is also used to control the time of each flushing, the type and amount of flushing fluid, the patient's eye condition and other information, which is convenient for subsequent analysis and medical quality management.
