Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical devices, in particular to a liquid exchange robot. Background Art

[0002] Infusion is one of the commonly used treatment methods.

[0003] During the infusion process, nurses are required to manually replace the infusion bottle. When there are many patients, especially when multiple patients are receiving infusions at a high frequency, the nurses' workload increases exponentially. Due to the large number of patients requiring infusion changes, nurses can only respond based on the patients' calls. However, some patients may be negligent and fail to call the nurses in time when they need to replace their infusion bottles. The nurses may be busy caring for other patients, resulting in the infusion bottles of some patients not being replaced in time.

[0004] Currently, there is a lack of a fluid exchange robot that can assist nurses in fluid exchange.

[0005] Chinese patent publication number CN106955393A discloses an automatic fluid exchange control method and device, and an automatic infusion robot. The patent discloses an automatic infusion robot. However, the device requires a manipulator to grab and transport the infusion bottle from the storage table, a clamping part to switch between clamping and releasing the infusion bottle, and a parallel air gripper to perform the needle insertion action. The device needs to transport the infusion bottle, and the action is relatively cumbersome, which can easily cause the infusion bottle to not move into place, resulting in the parallel air gripper being unable to smoothly perform the needle insertion action.

A positioning plate is mounted on the IV stand, its length aligned with the first straight line. When the distances measured by the rangefinders are equal, it indicates that the infusion robot's first linear slide mechanism is parallel to the arrangement of the IV stand's infusion container holders.

[0078] An infrared receiving device is installed on the walking base 25; an infrared emitting device is installed on the infusion stand 1, and the frequency of emission of the infrared emitting device of each infusion stand 1 is different; once the infusion robot moves to the infusion stand 1 that triggers the fluid exchange trigger instruction information, the infusion robot pairs with the current infusion stand 1 according to the frequency information received by the infrared receiving device; once the pairing is successful, it means that the movement is in place and the fluid exchange operation is performed; if the pairing is unsuccessful, the infusion robot obtains the current position based on the currently received frequency information and compares it with the position of the target infusion stand 1 to generate a motion trajectory, and the infusion robot moves along the motion trajectory to the target infusion stand 1 position.

[0079] A liquid changing method for a liquid changing robot comprises the following steps:

[0080] Step 1: The robot body receives the fluid replacement trigger instruction information and the location information of the infusion stand to be replaced;

[0081] The position information of the infusion stand to be replaced is (a, b, c), where a is the infusion stand code, b is the container code of the current infusion container on the infusion stand, and c is the number of infusion containers on the infusion stand;

[0093] See also Figure 8 as well as Figure 9Specific embodiment 5, based on specific embodiment 1, the walking base is a walking base that can rotate 360 ​​degrees in place and move forward in a straight line. The walking base can be an AGV trolley base.

[0094] The travel control system is connected to a light curtain navigation system;

[0095] The light curtain navigation system includes a navigation light curtain installed on the top of the infusion room.

[0104] Once the reference module 271 senses the light waves of the light-emitting element group, the walking base moves forward. Once the central positioning module 272 and the reverse reference module 273, the central positioning module 272 and the first steering positioning module 274 or the second steering positioning module 275 all sense the light waves of the light-emitting element group, the telescopic rod extends and the walking base rotates 90° on the spot.
