Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent medical technology, and in particular to an automatic sputum wiping artificial intelligence robotic arm. Background Art

[0002] Currently, there is a lack of AI-powered automated sputum wiping devices on the market, and most patients with difficulty expectorating still rely on manual wiping. However, ICU patients often present with severe illnesses, and the nurses in charge have a multitude of nursing tasks to manage. Frequent wiping of sputum by nurses can easily lead to cross-infection and increase the complexity of nursing work. Over time, this can also reduce nurses' enthusiasm and work attitude.

[0003] For critically ill ICU patients, problems such as weak coughing and muscle weakness often prevent sputum from being expelled properly. This not only negatively impacts the patient's health but also places an additional workload on medical staff. Traditional manual sputum wiping is inefficient and prone to cross-infection. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an AI-powered automated sputum wiping device to replace manual sputum wiping by nurses. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In response to the above-mentioned technical problems, an artificial intelligence robotic arm for automatic sputum wiping is provided. Combining artificial intelligence and automation technologies, the present invention comprises a first robotic arm, a second robotic arm, a main robotic arm, and a robotic arm base. The first robotic arm is equipped with a clamping and suction device for wiping sputum, while the second robotic arm is equipped with a sound sensor and a front-facing camera to determine the patient's expectoration status and location through sound and image information. This invention can improve medical efficiency, reduce the workload of medical staff, and mitigate the risk of cross-infection.

[0005] The technical means adopted in the present invention are as follows:

[0006] An automatic sputum wiping artificial intelligence robotic arm comprises: a first robotic arm, a second robotic arm, a robotic main arm and a robotic arm base, wherein:

[0007] One end of the main robotic arm is fixed to the robotic arm base, and the other end is connected to the first robotic arm and the second robotic arm through a robotic arm shaft joint; the main robotic arm is used to adjust the height of the first robotic arm and the second robotic arm;

[0008] The first robotic arm is provided with a clamping and suction device for clamping paper to wipe the patient's sputum; the second robotic arm is provided with a front camera for observing the patient's face in real time and analyzing the position of the sputum.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping and suction device is arranged on the front end bracket, and the front end bracket is connected to the first robotic arm through a rotating shaft. The clamping and suction device can be positioned according to the position of sputum extracted from the front camera, and the clamping and suction device is controlled by the rotating shaft and the first robotic arm to clamp and wipe the paper.

[0010] Furthermore, a sound sensor is provided on the second robotic arm, and the sound sensor can identify the coughing sound of the patient. When the sound sensor identifies the coughing sound of the patient, the front camera synchronously identifies the coughing action of the patient.

[0011] Furthermore, the main robotic arm, the first robotic arm and the second robotic arm are provided with servo motors, sensors and a plurality of robotic arm shaft joints.

[0012] Furthermore, a trash basket is provided on the base of the robotic arm, and the clamping and suction device can put the paper into the trash basket after completing the wiping action.

[0013] Furthermore, the front camera and the sound sensor are connected via a signal line; the front camera, the sound sensor and the clamping device are connected to the core controller in the base of the robotic arm, and the collected image information is transmitted to the core controller for image data extraction, analysis and positioning, and a command signal is issued according to the positioning information to control the first robotic arm to complete the action instruction.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0015] The automated sputum-wiping artificial intelligence robotic arm provided by this invention can automatically sense and wipe away sputum that patients cough up but are unable to wipe away, reducing the time and manpower required for manual sputum wiping and improving medical efficiency. Automated sputum wiping reduces the workload and burden on medical staff, allowing them to focus more time on medication and other care.

[0016] During manual sputum wiping, contact between medical staff and patients increases the risk of cross-infection. The device in this invention can complete sputum wiping without contacting the patient, reducing the risk of cross-infection. By automatically collecting and processing sputum-laden tissues, it helps maintain a clean and hygienic medical environment, providing patients with a more comfortable treatment environment.

[0017] The device uses artificial intelligence technology to identify the patient's coughing sound and sputum location, dynamically adjusting the wiping position to improve the accuracy and efficiency of wiping. The use of an automated sputum-wiping robotic arm can improve the health and quality of life of critically ill ICU patients, increasing their survival rate and quality of life.

[0018] The device of the present invention integrates artificial intelligence and automation technology into medical equipment, which is conducive to promoting the development and progress of medical technology, improving the level of medical services, and has broad market prospects and commercial value.

[0019] Based on the above reasons, the present invention can be widely promoted in fields such as intelligent medical care. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] like Figure 1As shown, the present invention provides an automatic sputum wiping artificial intelligence robotic arm, comprising: a first robotic arm 7, a second robotic arm 10, a robotic main arm 9 and a robotic arm base 8, wherein:

[0031] One end of the main robot arm 9 is fixed to the robot arm base 8, and the other end is connected to the first robot arm 7 and the second robot arm 10 through the robot arm shaft joint 4; the main robot arm 9 is used to adjust the height of the first robot arm 7 and the second robot arm 10;

[0032] The first robotic arm 7 is provided with a clamping and suction device 2 for clamping paper to wipe the patient's sputum; the second robotic arm 10 is provided with a front camera 3 for observing the patient's face in real time and analyzing the position of the sputum.

[0033] In specific implementation, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the clamping and suction device 2 is arranged on the front end bracket 6, and the front end bracket 6 is connected to the first robotic arm 7 through the rotating shaft 5. The clamping and suction device 2 can be positioned through the position of sputum extracted by the front camera 3, and the clamping and suction device 2 is controlled by the rotating shaft 5 and the first robotic arm 7 to clamp and wipe the paper.

[0034] The present invention can automatically absorb and clamp paper to wipe the sputum around the patient's mouth when the sputum reaches the patient's mouth through the telescopic joint, the rotating motor and the clamping mechanism of the front end sputum wiping device.

[0035] In a specific implementation, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second robotic arm 10 is also provided with a sound sensor 1 capable of identifying the patient's coughing sound. When the sound sensor 1 identifies the patient's coughing sound, the front camera 3 simultaneously identifies the patient's coughing action. The front camera 3 observes the patient's face and sputum position in real time, providing visual information data for analysis by the controller. Using artificial intelligence technology, the controller recognizes the patient's coughing sound and sputum state, thereby adjusting the wiping position to ensure effective and efficient wiping.

[0036] In specific implementation, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the main robotic arm 9, the first robotic arm 7 and the second robotic arm 10 are provided with servo motors, sensors and multiple robotic arm shaft joints 4, which can ensure that the robotic arms move flexibly and accurately.

[0037] In practice, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a trash basket 11 is also provided on the robotic arm base 8 to collect tissues contaminated with sputum. After the gripping and suction device 2 completes the wiping action, it can place the paper into the trash basket 11, maintaining a clean and hygienic medical environment.

[0038] During specific implementation, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the front camera 3 and the sound sensor 1 are connected through a signal line; the front camera 3, the sound sensor 1 and the clamping and suction device 2 are connected to the core controller in the robotic arm base 8, and the collected image information is transmitted to the core controller for image data extraction, analysis and positioning, and a command signal is issued according to the positioning information to control the first robotic arm 7 to complete the action instruction.

[0039] The core controller is the control center of the entire device, processing sensor data and issuing commands. By utilizing artificial intelligence technology, the core controller can effectively process data transmitted by the sound sensor and micro-camera, and then respond accordingly. This intelligent control method not only improves sputum wiping efficiency but also reduces the workload of medical staff.

[0040] Example

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic sputum wiping artificial intelligence robotic arm. When a patient coughs up sputum and makes a sound, the sound sensor 1 and the front camera 3 will automatically sense and analyze the image. The front camera 3 will observe the patient's face and sputum position in real time, and continuously obtain visual information by analyzing the image, amplify the image information and transmit it to the core controller inside the robotic arm chassis 8. By analyzing visual information and combining it with sound recognition, the core controller can identify the patient's coughing sound, sputum position and sputum volume, and then perform data analysis inside the core controller to convey operating instructions to the two robotic arms and dynamically adjust the wiping position. At the same time, the servo motors, shaft joints, sensors and other components in the two robotic arms will ensure that the movements of the robotic arms are accurate and flexible. In addition, the integration of the waste bag facilitates the collection of paper towels with sputum, which can reduce the chance of secondary infection in patients while ensuring cleanliness.
