[0041] The local unit includes a bed body 300, a shampoo basin 100, and an air supply pump 200. The control unit includes an industrial control computer 500.

[0042] Among them, the bed body 300 is used to carry and transfer elderly patients who need to wash their hair. A foldable flip plate 310 is provided on one side of the head of the bed body 300. The lower side of the bed body 300 is provided with bed feet 320, and universal wheels 330 are installed on the bed feet 320. In practice, a brake pad for limiting the universal wheels 330 (the brake pad is omitted and not shown in the figure) can also be provided at the bottom of the bed feet 320.

[0043] The shampoo basin 100 is fixedly installed on the ground through a support base 110. The support base 110 can adopt a fixed-height structure or a liftable support base 110 (it should be noted that the liftable support base 110 can be realized by a variety of conventional technical means. For example, an electric lift pile can be used. The specific implementation structure will not be elaborated in detail in this article). A spray 400 is installed on one side of the shampoo basin 100. The spray 400 is a bathing device used in a conventional bathroom and is used to inject water into the shampoo basin 100. The shampoo basin 100 includes a basin body with an open top; a neck limiting groove 14 that is open at the top and extends in the vertical direction is provided on the side wall of the basin body. A first airbag 150 is installed on the neck limiting groove 140, and the first airbag 150 is configured to expand toward the top opening of the neck limiting groove 140 when the first airbag 150 is inflated; a drain hole 180 is provided on the bottom wall of the basin body, and the drain hole 180 is configured to be conductively connected to a drain pipe 120. A conduction valve 130 is installed on the pipe body of the drain pipe 120; an air cushion layer 190 is also installed on the bottom wall of the basin body. The air cushion layer 190 is in a ring structure and is distributed around the drain hole 180. A number of second airbags 160 are distributed in the air cushion layer 190; the first airbag 150 and the number of second airbags 160 are respectively conductively connected to an air supply pump 200 through an air supply pipe 220. A seal is also installed on the outer side wall of the shampoo basin 100. An earplug 170 is provided in the shampoo basin 100. The earplug 170 is made of an elastic material, and a third airbag is provided in the earplug 170; the third airbag is conductively connected to the air supply pump 200 through an air supply pipe 220 that passes through the seal. The air supply pump 200 is conductively connected to the first airbag 150, the second airbag 160, and the third airbag respectively through a number of air supply pipes 220 (a part of the pipe bodies of the number of air supply pipes 220 are jointly wrapped into a main pipe 221).

[0044] The industrial control computer 500 is signal-connected to the air supply pump and is used to control the air supply pump to inflate and deflate the first airbag 150, the second airbag 160, and the third airbag respectively. Specifically: The industrial control computer 500 includes: a storage module 510, a command module 520, a collection module 530, a writing module 540, and a matching module 550. Among them, the storage module 510 is used to store a control instruction set, and the control instruction set includes a number of specific control instructions for inflating and deflating the first airbag 150, the second airbag 160, and the third airbag; the command module 520 is used to read and call the control instruction set and control the air supply pump to inflate and deflate the first airbag 150, the second airbag 160, and the third airbag. The collection module 530 is used to input and store the physical data and feedback information of the elderly patients; the writing module 540 is used to write / store the optimized control instruction set into the storage module 510. The matching module 550 is used to pre-store the matching relationship between the physical data range and the control instruction set, and automatically match the corresponding control instruction set for the second airbag 160 according to the data range where the input physical data information is located. The matching module 550 is used to read the collection module 530, call and start the control instruction set that matches the physical data. The matching module 550 can also be used to write and store the matching relationship between the data range of the physical data and the control instruction set.

[0045] In practice, its working process is as follows:

[0046] When performing hair washing care for elderly patients, information such as the patient's head size and height data is collected in advance (only data collection is required for the first use. For patients who use it multiple times, the data from the first time is used by default). According to the historical records saved in the system, an adjustment plan that matches their body data is determined. The universal wheels 330 are used to move the bed body 300. When transporting elderly patients, the patient's head is placed on the folding plate 310. When the head of the bed is moved to align with the neck limiting groove 140, the conduction valve 130 is closed, and hot water is poured into the shampoo basin 100 through the spray 400. The folding plate 310 is lowered and the patient's neck is placed in the neck limiting groove 140. Subsequently, the head of the elderly patient is extended into the shampoo basin 100, and the neck is supported on the neck limiting groove 140. At this time, the first airbag 150 is in an inflated state to raise the patient's neck. The earplug 170 is placed in the patient's ear canal, and the third airbag is inflated and deflated until the shape of the earplug 170 is finely adjusted to fit the shape of the patient's ear canal (if the traditional earplug 170 is used, there is no step of inflating and deflating the third airbag). Subsequently, the patient's hair is washed. After washing is completed, the conduction valve 130 is opened to allow the shampoo water to flow into the drain pipe 120. Subsequently, the first airbag 150 is in a deflated state, and at the same time, the height of the shampoo basin 100 is finely adjusted through the liftable support base 110 to lower the patient's neck until the scalp touches the air cushion layer 190. Subsequently, the patient's body data information is input, and the matching module 550 automatically matches a suitable control plan for the second airbag 160 according to the data range where the body data information is located. Then, the second airbags 160 are regularly adjusted to inflate and deflate in a specific pattern to massage the patient's head acupoints. Finally, the feedback information of the patient is collected, and the data is updated based on this hair washing and massage operation. (The specific method of data update is as follows: The feedback information includes at least three items: satisfied, average, and dissatisfied. Different weight values are assigned to each of the above three items. At the same time, an operation threshold for the control plan corresponding to the specific data is preset. Each time data is updated, the historical data of the control plan corresponding to the specific data is retrieved, and the satisfaction value is calculated through weighted summation and compared with the operation threshold. When it is greater than the operation threshold, the current matching plan is retained. Otherwise, the current matching plan is modified).

[0047] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Even if various changes are made to the present invention, provided that these changes fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalent technologies, they still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
