[0017] 1. By embedding ultrasonic bubble sensors at the upper and lower ends of the arc-shaped seat, a surrounding detection area for the infusion tube is formed. The sensors perform surface scanning on the medium in the tube by taking advantage of the difference in ultrasonic wave propagation between liquid and gas, i.e. the sound speed decreases and the attenuation increases in gas, thereby reducing the false judgment caused by uneven tube surface or residual liquid.

The second pressing plate and the movable rod form a clamping device for opposite extrusion, the bubbles are limited in a fixed area, and the bubbles are prevented from slipping or deforming but not breaking due to unilateral extrusion. The surface of the second pressing plate is designed in a corrugated or pointed structure, thereby further increasing the local pressure and ensuring that the small bubbles can also be effectively crushed.

[0019] 3. The spring telescopic rod provides bidirectional elastic support force, pushes the limiting piece to limit the two sides of the infusion tube, and effectively limits the horizontal displacement of the tube when the peristaltic pump mechanism transports liquid or crushes bubbles, thereby preventing the tube from sliding out of the arc-shaped seat due to mechanical vibration and ensuring the stability and safety of the infusion process. The tension of the elastic strips keeps a gap between the second pressing plate and the arc-shaped seat, thereby facilitating the installation of the tube; when the long diameter end of the cam contacts the second pressing plate, the elastic tension of the elastic strips can be overcome to push the pressing plate to press the tube tightly, thereby forming a vertical closed clamping. This design facilitates the installation of the tube and can flexibly realize the clamping and loosening of the tube as needed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0035] Working principle: The infusion hose is placed on the arc-shaped seat 4 and fixed by the fixing mechanism 6. The ultrasonic bubble sensor 7 is embedded in the upper and lower ends of the arc-shaped seat 4, forming a surrounding detection area for the infusion hose. The sensor performs surface scanning on the medium in the hose through the difference in ultrasonic propagation between liquid and gas, that is, the sound speed is reduced and the attenuation is enhanced in gas, thereby reducing the misjudgment caused by uneven surface of the hose or residual liquid. The contact surface of the sensor 7 and the hose is expanded from a point to an arc-shaped area, thereby reducing the influence of local wrinkles or particles on the signal.

[0036] Liquid delivery principle: the rotating disc 14 is driven by the servo motor 16: the servo motor 16 drives the rotating disc 14 to rotate, the first protruding part 15 on the outer side of the rotating disc 14 periodically extrudes the soft tube, forming a one-way pumping action. The microcomputer system controller 8 adjusts the rotating speed of the servo motor 16 in real time according to the infusion parameters flow rate and pressure, ensuring stable liquid delivery and avoiding excessive deformation of the soft tube.

[0037] The ultrasonic bubble sensor 7 transmits a detection signal to the microcomputer system controller 8, and the controller analyzes the signal characteristics such as amplitude attenuation and frequency change through an algorithm to distinguish bubbles from normal liquid. When the difference between the signals of the two sensors 7 exceeds the threshold value, the controller 8 determines that it is an interference signal and does not trigger an alarm; only when both of them detect an abnormality at the same time, it is determined to be a bubble. After detecting a bubble, the controller 8 immediately suspends the servo motor 16 and the stepping motor 21, and displays alarm information such as bubble position and size on the display 9, and can also link to external devices such as nurse station terminals to notify medical staff. The display 9 displays the infusion parameters flow rate, remaining amount and device state motor speed, sensor signal strength in real time, supports historical data query and fault tracing.

[0038] Further, the fixing mechanism 6 includes two limiting pieces 24 arranged at intervals, the limiting pieces 24 are arranged on both sides of the arc-shaped seat 4, the limiting pieces 24 are used for limiting the two sides of the infusion soft tube on the arc-shaped seat 4, two spring telescopic rods 25 arranged at intervals are fixedly installed on both sides of the shell 1, and the movable ends of the spring telescopic rods 25 are all fixedly connected to the limiting pieces 24.

[0039] The fixing mechanism 6 further includes a second pressing plate 26 arranged on the front side of the arc-shaped seat 4, four elastic strips 27 are fixedly connected between the second pressing plate 26 and the shell 1, a rotating shaft 28 is rotatably installed on the shell 1, a cam 29 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 28, the cam 29 is in contact with the second pressing plate 26 and can drive the second pressing plate 26 to move towards the arc-shaped seat 4, conveying rollers 30 are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the arc-shaped seat 4, a motor 31 is fixedly installed on the shell 1, the output shaft of the motor 31 is fixedly connected with the conveying rollers 30, and a synchronous belt mechanism 32 is installed between the driving shaft of the conveying rollers 30 and the rotating shaft 28. A protective cover 33 is fixedly installed on the shell 1, clamping blocks 34 are arranged at the four corners of the protective cover 33, and the clamping blocks 34 are fixedly connected to the shell 1. The protective cover 33 covers the outside of the fixing mechanism 6, and the four corners are clamped and fixed with the shell 1 through the clamping blocks 34.

[0040] When bubbles are detected, the microcomputer system controller 8 controls the servo motor 16 to work, and the microcomputer system controller 8 controls the stepper motor 21 to drive the inner disk 22 to rotate, and the second protrusion 23 drives the movable rod 18 to move. One end of the movable rod 18 moves toward the infusion hose and intermittently squeezes the infusion hose, thereby cooperating with the second pressure plate 26 to squeeze and burst the bubbles in the infusion hose. By actively squeezing the bubbles through the mechanical structure, the infusion process can be restored without human intervention. It is particularly suitable for unattended scenarios (such as night care, home infusion), and significantly improves the reliability of continuous infusion. The second pressure plate 26 and the movable rod 18 form a counter-extrusion clamp, and the bubbles are confined to a fixed area to avoid the bubbles slipping or deforming but not breaking due to unilateral squeezing. The surface of the second pressure plate 26 can be designed as a corrugated or pointed structure to further increase the local pressure and ensure that tiny bubbles can also be effectively squeezed.

[0041] At the moment of bursting a bubble, servo motor 16 briefly reduces the speed of turntable 14, reducing turbulence within the hose and preventing the generation of new bubbles or aerosols during the bursting process. After the burst, microcomputer system controller 8 immediately restores the preset parameters of servo motor 16 and stepper motor 21, ensuring that the infusion flow rate and pressure quickly return to a stable state.

[0042] The spring-loaded telescopic rods 25, arranged in two groups of four, provide bidirectional elastic support. When the infusion hose is placed in the curved seat 4, the elastic force of the spring-loaded telescopic rods 25 pushes the stoppers 24 against the sidewalls of the hose, securing the hose in place. When the peristaltic pump mechanism delivers liquid or bursts air bubbles, the stoppers 24 limit horizontal movement of the hose, preventing it from slipping out of the curved seat 4 due to mechanical vibration.

[0043] The tension of the elastic strip 27 maintains a gap between the second pressure plate 26 and the curved seat 4, facilitating the insertion of the hose. A motor 31, via a timing belt mechanism 32, drives the rotating shaft 28, which in turn rotates the cam 29. When the long-diameter end of the cam 29 contacts the second pressure plate 26, it overcomes the tension of the elastic strip 27, pushing the pressure plate 26 forward and compressing the hose, creating a vertically closed clamp.

[0044] When the hose is installed, the conveyor rollers 30 use friction to press the hose into the opening 3 of the curved seat 4, assisting the stopper 24 in initial positioning. During the bubble-bursting process, the rollers 30 continue to clamp the hose, preventing it from partially tilting due to compression from the second pressure plate 26. Simultaneously, the motor 31 drives the rollers 30. The synchronized rotation of the upper and lower rollers 30 drives the hose to the desired position, allowing for adjustment of the hose's installation position.

[0045] The above merely describes preferred specific embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present application, makes equivalent replacement or change within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
