Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of operating room environment maintenance management, and particularly relates to an intelligent shoe-changing system for operating rooms. Background Technique

[0002] The maintenance management of the operating room environment is the basis of hospital infection prevention and control management, which is directly related to the success rate of surgeries and the safety of patients. Medical staff need to change clothes and shoes at the front end of entering the operating room. The traditional method is manual management through ordinary storage cabinets. Since 2017, an information-based management method has been adopted, relying on information technology for semi-automatic management, mainly to solve the automatic distribution of clothes and shoes. Among them, the shoe-changing cabinet still uses an electronic storage cabinet. Defects of the electronic storage cabinet: First, it wastes building space. Currently, the fixed height of the cabinet body is <2.0m, and the space above the cabinet top is wasted greatly. The cabinet spacing is at least 0.9m, and the floor area is large when placed in multiple rows. Second, the cabinet needs to clearly mark the specific cabinet number. When the demand is large, random allocation is used, and the users need to search for and remember the storage location of the cabinet. Third, the cleaning and disinfection problems of each cabinet opening cannot be solved, mainly relying on manual regular cleaning, which is difficult to meet the basic requirements of hospital infection control.

[0003] Existing intelligent lockers are applied in fields such as express delivery, public places, and unmanned retail. Technologically, there are Internet of Things, mobile payment, and biometric identification. The simple storage method cannot meet the requirements of infection control and isolation in medical institutions.

[0005] (1) It wastes building space. Currently, the fixed height of the cabinet body is <2.0m, and the space above the cabinet top is wasted greatly. The cabinet spacing is at least 0.9m, and the floor area is large when placed in multiple rows.

[0006] (2) The cabinet needs to clearly mark the specific cabinet number. When the demand is large, random allocation is used, and the users need to search for and remember the storage location of the cabinet.

[0007] (3) The cleaning and disinfection problems of each cabinet opening cannot be solved, mainly relying on manual regular cleaning, which is difficult to meet the basic requirements of hospital infection control. Summary of the Invention

[0013] The conveying module, including a conveyor belt driving device, a position encoder, and a status detection unit, is used to automatically convey the shoes from the shooting area to a specified shoe box according to the control instructions issued by the main control module, and transmit the running status signal in real time;

[0014] The information binding module, including a shoe box information collection device and a binding control unit, is used to collect the shoe box ID or position information, bind this information to the person's identity one by one, and synchronously transmit it to the main control module for record management;

[0015] The storage module, including a cabinet body and a plurality of independently identifiable shoe storage box units arranged in the cabinet body, the cabinet body can be arranged in columns, rows, or vertically, and each shoe storage box can receive the shoes from the conveying module and feedback the placement status information;

[0016] The communication mechanism, data transmission and instruction interaction are carried out between the above-mentioned modules based on a standardized communication protocol (including but not limited to UART, CAN, RS485, or TCP / IP) to ensure the coordinated operation and real-time response of the system modules.

[0017] Further, the identity recognition module includes: a display, a biometric identifier;

[0018] The display is used to display identity information;

[0019] The biometric identifier is used to identify identity information.

[0020] Further, the storage module includes: a cabinet body, a shoe storage box.

[0021] Another object of the present invention is to provide an intelligent shoe-changing method for an operating room, including:

[0022] Step 1, perform identity recognition through the identity recognition module;

[0023] Step 2, take off shoes through the photographing module and take a photo at the display at the cabinet opening;

[0030] Combined with the above technical solutions and the technical problems solved, the advantages and positive effects of the technical solutions to be protected by the present invention are as follows:

[0031] The present invention provides an integrated intelligent shoe-changing system. The core lies in the linkage between the personnel identity recognition system and the shoe storage and access control system to achieve the automatic placement and retrieval of shoes. The entire process is completed in the same cabinet, without manual intervention or manual search for the shoe cabinet opening, greatly improving the operation efficiency and the level of standardized management.

[0032] The system automatically binds the corresponding storage sites according to the identity information of medical staff (such as staff numbers, facial recognition, etc.), and accurately conveys the shoes to the designated area of the cabinet through the built-in transmission and positioning module. The entire storage and retrieval process is enclosed, efficient, and contactless, meeting the process control and infection control requirements of the clean area of the hospital.

[0033] The present invention adopts a design without a front cabinet door. The shoe cabinet openings are uniformly set at one end of the internal transmission system, and the system controls the shoe access channels, avoiding the visual chaos and operation inconvenience brought by the traditional multi-cabinet structure, further optimizing the human-computer interaction experience of the shoe-changing process, and improving the overall intelligent level of the system.

[0034] The intelligent shoe-changing system is particularly suitable for places in hospitals with high requirements for aseptic control and personnel behavior management, including key areas such as operating rooms, interventional catheterization rooms, endoscopy rooms, supply centers, ICUs, hemodialysis centers, etc. It is especially suitable for renovation projects with limited space and restricted shoe-changing area settings in the traditional sense, and has good system compatibility and installation flexibility.

[0035] The main structure of the shoe cabinet can extend from the ground to the ceiling, maximizing the utilization of vertical space. Without changing the unit floor area, the shoe storage capacity can be increased to 3 to 4 times that of the traditional structure, significantly alleviating the storage shortage problem caused by high personnel density and enhancing the functionality of the hospital changing area.

[0036] The interior of the cabinet is a continuous open structure without partitions, avoiding the formation of sanitary dead corners inside the shoe cabinet and significantly reducing the cleaning and maintenance burden. At the same time, the layout of the shoe-changing area is more compact and concise, which can compress the required space to half of the traditional solution. There is no need for manual attendance at the entrance, effectively improving the flow efficiency and personnel passage ability. Description of the Drawings

[0046] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0047] As Figure 1 shown, an intelligent shoe-changing system for the operating room provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0048] Identity recognition module 1, photographing module 2, main control module 3, conveying module 4, information binding module 5, and storage module 6.

[0049] The identity recognition module 1 is connected to the photographing module 2 and is used for identity recognition.

[0050] The photographing module 2 is connected to the main control module 3 and is used for photographing when taking off shoes at the display area of the cabinet opening.

[0051] The main control module 3 is connected to the photographing module 2, conveying module 4, information binding module 5, and storage module 6, and is used to control the normal operation of each module.

[0052] The conveying module 4 is connected to the main control module 3 and is used to convey shoes through a conveyor belt.

[0053] The information binding module 5 is connected to the main control module 3 and is used for shoe box information binding.

[0054] The storage module 6 is connected to the main control module 3 and is used to store shoes through the cabinet.

[0055] The identity recognition module 1 collects user biometric data through an integrated biometric sensor (such as an iris scanner or a facial recognition camera). After noise reduction by the preprocessing module, the digitized feature data is input into the embedded recognition algorithm, and the sample features stored in the database are compared in real time to achieve identity verification, and the recognition result and the corresponding timestamp data are transmitted to the main control module 3.

[0056] After receiving the instruction from the main control module 3, the photographing module 2 captures the image signal of the user's shoe-taking-off action at the cabinet opening through a high-resolution image sensor. After image preprocessing (including image enhancement, background separation, and ROI extraction), the processed image data is uploaded to the main control module 3 for subsequent status verification and record archiving.

[0057] As the core control unit of the system, the main control module 3 performs fusion processing on the received identity recognition data and the image data output by the photographing module, synchronizes the data using the real-time data acquisition bus, and judges the operation status based on the preset algorithm logic. At the same time, it triggers the action instructions of the subsequent modules to achieve data interaction and unified scheduling between the modules.

[0058] Under the motion control instruction issued by the main control module 3, the conveying module 4 drives the conveyor belt motor through a PLC (programmable logic controller) to start the shoe box conveying process. The encoder embedded in the module feeds back the real-time position information, and the motion deviation is corrected through the closed-loop control algorithm to ensure the positioning accuracy and stability of the shoe box during the conveying process.

[0059] After the information binding module 5 receives the scheduling command from the main control module 3, it collects the shoe box information through the integrated bar code / RFID reader, and binds it with the user identity information, time stamp and system operation number to form a unique digital identifier. The bound data is processed by an encryption algorithm and then sent back to the main control module 3 to ensure data integrity and security.

[0060] Under the instruction of the main control module 3, the storage module 6 starts the electromagnetic drive or stepper motor to perform the shoe box storage action, and at the same time uses the position sensor to monitor the storage position in real time to complete the automatic storage of the shoe box. After the storage operation is completed, this module uploads the status data of successful storage and abnormal alarm information to the main control module 3, and updates the system database in real time to realize the data recording, error detection and feedback closed-loop of the entire operation process.

[0061] Such as Figure 6 The identity recognition module provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes: a display, a biometric identifier;

[0071] The embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent shoe-changing system and method applicable to the operating room scenario.

[0077] Second, the intelligent shoe-changing method in the operating room (as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 8 shown)

[0078] The shoe-changing method provided by the embodiments of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0094] Specific implementation of the present invention:

[0095] In a 200-square-meter shoe-changing area in the operating room of a certain hospital, there are 720 cabinet openings in total, which can only store 720 pairs of shoes, and 700 - 800 people enter and exit at the entrance every day.

[0096] 1. The application field of the present invention mainly focuses on the personnel shoe-changing management in the hospital operating room environment, and is especially suitable for the standardized storage and transfer control of shoe items before and after surgery. The system integrates an identity recognition module, an image acquisition module, an information binding module, an automatic transfer module, and a storage module to form a closed-loop intelligent shoe-changing management system, which is suitable for medical scenarios with high traffic and high-standard aseptic requirements.

[0098] 3. The system can also be seamlessly integrated with the hospital information management platform to form a unified data exchange and control platform, realizing the intelligent linkage of identity recognition, image verification, data binding, transfer control, and storage management. High-speed data buses and standardized communication protocols are used between modules to ensure the real-time and reliable data transmission between subsystems, providing key technical support for building a safe and efficient shoe-changing environment in the hospital.

The actual application data shows that in a 200-square-meter shoe-changing area of a certain hospital, the system supports the storage of footwear in 720 cabinet openings, meeting the daily access needs of 700 to 800 person-times. The on-site test results show that the identity recognition error rate is less than 2%, the image photographing and data processing delay is controlled within 1 second, and each module works stably and reliably in coordination, effectively ensuring the aseptic management of the operating room environment and the safety of item access and storage. For the previous electronic cabinets, 12 electronic shoe storage cabinets (3.2m * 1.86m * 0.45m) had a total of 720 cabinet openings, and the shoe-changing area was more than 200 square meters. This patent can reduce the number of existing cabinets to 5, which can meet the access needs of 700 - 800 people. The floor area of the shoe-changing area is reduced by 1 to 1.5 times, only requiring 100 - 120 square meters.
