[0002] At present, in the field of medical accompanying devices, various technical solutions have been proposed and applied. The main function of these devices is to monitor the infusion state of the patient and issue an alarm in a timely manner to ensure that the patient will not develop complications due to blockage or emptying of the infusion tube. The traditional infusion alarm generally detects the liquid state in the infusion tube through pressure sensing, flow monitoring or photoelectric sensor, etc. Once the device detects that the infusion is approaching the end or the liquid flow is abnormal, it will issue an alarm signal to remind the patient or accompanying personnel to intervene. On this basis, some devices also have the function of locking the infusion tube, that is, when an alarm is issued, a motor is automatically started to physically clamp the infusion tube to prevent the liquid from continuing to flow and reduce the risk of emptying back blood. This locking function is achieved through mechanical devices and has certain safety, which can effectively prevent potential medical risks. In addition, with the progress of medical technology, more and more products begin to be equipped with a calling system, so that the patient can press the call button on the bedside or other interface to request a nurse to come and handle after receiving the alarm, further improving the controllability of the patient during the infusion process.

[0023] Embodiment one As shown in Figs. 1-3 The application provides a general-adapted infusion abnormality intelligent locking and calling linkage method, which comprises the following steps: S1. Real-time monitoring of the liquid flow state in the infusion tube by an optical sensor, the optical sensor detects the liquid flow characteristics based on the photoelectric effect, and generates an empty tube signal when an empty tube state occurs in the infusion tube. The empty tube signal is judged by a built-in algorithm to determine whether there is a false alarm of a transient air bubble, so as to ensure accuracy.
[0024] S2. Install the alarm, the caller and the calling robot in the patient room. When the empty tube signal is detected, the alarm will issue a directional sound alarm.

The wireless communication protocol returns to the alarm and includes the following steps: S4.1 After the calling robot presses the caller, it monitors the execution status of the pressing action in real time through the built-in pressure sensor. When the pressure sensor detects that the caller is pressed, it generates a pressing completion signal.
[0026] S4.2 The pressing completion signal is immediately returned to the caller through the wireless communication protocol, ensuring that the system can receive feedback of the pressing action in real time. The returned signal contains operation confirmation information, operation status, pressing duration, operation result and device ID.
[0027] S4.3 After receiving the pressing completion signal, the alarm will confirm it through the log. If the operation fails, the alarm will issue an error prompt and require the calling robot to re-operate.
[0028] S4. Provide a mute mode for the alarm. When the user chooses to enable the mute mode, the alarm will not issue any sound alarm, and only the calling robot will automatically press the button of the bedside caller in the patient room, realizing silent calling to ensure the quietness of the patient room.
[0029] S5. The alarm and the calling robot are both equipped with a customizable control interface. Users can manually turn on or off the alarm, locking and calling functions according to actual needs. The control interface provides multi-level permission management, including patients, accompanying personnel and medical staff. The control interface supports voice recognition and natural language processing.
[0030] Example Two Unlike Example One, this example will show how to achieve real-time monitoring and accurate determination of liquid flow through detection of liquid flow characteristics to effectively ensure patient safety.
[0031] The detection of liquid flow characteristics includes the following steps: S1.1 Use at least two light sources and multiple light receivers on both sides of the infusion tube. The light sources emit light through the liquid in the infusion tube with different wavelengths, and the light receivers receive the transmitted or reflected light signals to obtain the changes in light intensity related to the liquid flow state.
[0032] S1.2 Calculate the ratio of light intensity signals, i.e. the ratio of signal transmission intensity and reflection intensity.
[0033] S1.3 Smooth the collected light intensity signals by dynamic filtering algorithm to remove noise and extract characteristic changes in light intensity signals.
[0034] S1.4 The optical sensor uses multi-channel optical configuration to enable the optical sensor to collect signals from different angles, eliminating the deviation caused by single angle error. The system identifies the liquid flow state by calculating the ratio of transmission and reflection signals The difference in intensity of transmission and reflection signals will significantly increase when the liquid is close to the end of the flow. The ratio of signal transmission intensity and reflection intensity is:
[0035] Where, is the transmission signal intensity, is the reflection signal intensity, is used to represent the liquid flow state, when decreases to a preset threshold , the system considers that the liquid flow is close to the end of the flow and may enter the empty tube state.
[0036] Assuming that during the infusion process, the measured transmission signal intensity is 3000mV, and the reflection signal intensity is 1500mV. The system calculates the ratio of transmission signal and reflection signal to determine the liquid flow state:
[0037] In normal flow state, the ratio should remain in a stable range, if the ratio suddenly decreases or increases, the system starts to determine the empty tube or bubble false alarm.
[0038] The smoothed and are used to calculate the flow characteristic parameters, the calculation formula is as follows:
[0039] Where, is the signal change rate, used to quantify the change amplitude of the signal, when and the duration is less than the maximum duration of the bubble When the signal ratio drops below the threshold, the system determines it as a false positive of air bubble and ignores the signal to continue monitoring. If the signal ratio drops below the threshold and stabilizes, the system determines it as an empty tube condition and triggers the alarm and lockout functions. When the signal ratio drops below the threshold, the system determines it as a false positive of air bubble and ignores the signal to continue monitoring. If the signal ratio drops below the threshold and stabilizes, the system determines it as an empty tube condition and triggers the alarm and lockout functions.
[0040] For example, after the signal ratio drops to 0.33, the system calculates the time interval and amplitude of the signal change. Assume the signal decreases from 1.5 to 0.33 in 2 seconds, the signal change rate is 0.58. For example, if the change rate is less than 0.1 mV / s, the signal change rate is below the set minimum threshold, the system ignores the false positive of air bubble and continues monitoring.
[0041] Lockout and alarm triggering: Once the liquid enters the empty tube condition, the system sends a signal to the alarm through the wireless communication protocol, triggers the audible alarm and performs the physical lockout to stop the infusion flow. The system starts the call robot to automatically press the ward call bell to notify the medical staff to handle.
[0042] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it is to be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
