Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a rescue vehicle, and more particularly to a fully automatic intelligent rescue vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] An ambulance is a mobile emergency medical device specifically equipped by medical institutions. Its main structure should include a sturdy vehicle body and practical medical cabinets to meet the storage needs of different emergency supplies.

[0003] Existing emergency vehicles, after completing urgent rescue missions, typically activate audible and visual alarm systems immediately to alert medical staff if medications are running low. However, in practice, the high-pressure, stressful environment of an emergency scene can cause significant psychological disruption to medical staff, affecting their concentration and judgment. Furthermore, the jarring noise from the alarms inevitably spreads throughout the hospital, creating unnecessary psychological and physical discomfort for other patients receiving treatment, and potentially triggering anxiety and panic. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive improvement and upgrade to existing emergency vehicles, proposing a new emergency vehicle solution integrating automation and information technology to enhance the overall efficiency of emergency care and improve patient survival rates. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art by providing a fully automatic intelligent rescue vehicle.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] A fully automatic intelligent emergency rescue cart includes a cart body, a platform mounted on top of the cart body, wheels mounted on the bottom of the cart body, at least two pull-out boxes and storage cabinets disposed within the cart body, and a medication shortage detection and control device. The medication shortage detection and control device includes a central control display screen mounted on the platform and a storage position sensor disposed inside the pull-out boxes. The storage position sensor is signal-connected to the central control display screen and is used to detect whether medications are missing from the pull-out boxes and send a signal to the central control display screen.

[0007] The fully automatic intelligent emergency vehicle is also equipped with a medication shortage reminder device. This device includes a drive mechanism, a sliding mechanism, and a warning mechanism located inside the top of the vehicle body. The drive mechanism is connected to the central control display screen and drives the sliding mechanism to move within a sliding groove along the depth direction of the vehicle body via a crossbar. The warning mechanism is movably mounted on the side wall of the vehicle body via a second spring and is connected to or disconnected from the sliding mechanism via a snap-fit ​​structure. This configuration allows the warning mechanism to extend beyond the side wall of the vehicle body using the elastic force of the second spring, or to retract into the vehicle body when the snap-fit ​​structure is connected to the sliding mechanism. The snap-fit ​​structure includes an upper snap-fit ​​block on the warning mechanism and a lower snap-fit ​​block on the sliding mechanism. When the storage position sensor detects a shortage of medication in the pull-out box, it sends a signal to the central control display screen. The central control display screen then sends a signal to control the drive mechanism to slide the sliding mechanism until the upper and lower snap-fit ​​blocks disengage, causing a portion of the warning mechanism to extend beyond the vehicle body, reminding medical personnel to replenish the medication promptly.

[0008] The pull-out box of the rescue cart body is pulled out in the direction of the depth of the rescue cart body. The drive mechanism is arranged along the depth of the rescue cart body and includes a power motor, a lead screw connected to the output shaft of the power motor, and a nut seat installed at the tail of the lead screw. The crossbar is installed in the middle of the lead screw and moves back and forth as the lead screw rotates. When the power motor receives a signal from the central control display screen, it causes the lead screw to rotate, driving the crossbar to move back and forth.

[0009] The sliding mechanism includes a round rod disposed inside a sliding groove and fixed to the body of the rescue cart. A first spring and a lower locking block are sleeved on the round rod. One end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the lower locking block, and the other end is fixedly connected to the body of the rescue cart. The lower locking block is fixedly connected to a crossbar. This arrangement allows the lower locking block to slide along the round rod following the crossbar.

[0010] The warning mechanism includes an upper locking block, a stop plate, and a second spring. The stop plate is sleeved and fixed to the outside of the upper locking block. The second spring is sleeved to the outside of the upper locking block, with one end fixed to the side wall of the rescue cart body and the other end fixed to the stop plate. The side wall of the rescue cart body has an opening for the upper locking block to extend out, and the size of the stop plate is larger than the size of the opening. In its normal contracted state, the second spring allows a portion of the upper locking block to extend out of the rescue cart body. In its stretched state, the upper locking block engages with the lower locking block, at which point the upper locking block is completely retracted into the rescue cart body.

[0011] The lower locking block is provided with a downwardly inclined groove that extends through both ends, and the upper locking block is provided with a corresponding protrusion. The lower surface of the lower locking block is kept at a certain distance from the upper surface of the sliding groove, and the upper and lower locking blocks are made of elastically deformable materials (such as plastic, elastic metal, etc.). This allows the protrusion and groove to re-engage by pushing the upper locking block inward from outside the rescue vehicle body when the upper locking block extends out of the side wall of the rescue vehicle body and the lower locking block moves back to its original position.

[0012] An electromagnetic lock is installed on the back of the pull-out box, and the electromagnetic lock is connected to the central control display screen via a signal. When it receives a signal from the central control display screen, the electromagnetic lock will quickly de-energize, thereby releasing the overall fixation of the pull-out box.

[0013] The pull-out box contains a third spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to the pull-out box, and the other end is fixedly connected to the interior of the emergency cart body. When the electromagnetic lock is de-energized, the pull-out box will quickly pop out due to the elasticity of the third spring. At this time, medical staff can take out the medicine from the pull-out box.

[0014] The emergency vehicle has handles on both sides of its wide-width top surface, adjacent to a warning mechanism. Medical personnel can visually check whether the warning mechanism has deployed and determine if additional medication is needed by pushing the vehicle away through the handles.

[0015] Two warning mechanisms and two sliding mechanisms are each provided, which are arranged on both sides of the crossbar along the depth direction of the rescue vehicle body.

[0016] Both the sliding mechanism and the warning mechanism are symmetrically arranged along the width direction of the rescue vehicle body.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a fully automated information-based emergency rescue vehicle, which has the following beneficial effects.

[0018] 1. The central control display screen can unlock the corresponding electromagnetic lock, and the drawer containing medicines will pop out by a spring, realizing "one-click" medicine retrieval, which significantly shortens the preparation time for emergency rescue.

[0019] 2. Employs a purely physical, visually-based "extended locking block" indicator. When medication is missing, the motor-screw-crossbar mechanism pushes the corresponding locking block out to the handle side, allowing medical staff to visually detect the missing item as they push the vehicle away. This method is noiseless and light-free, reducing psychological stress.

[0020] 3. Two sets of snap-on and alert mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the vehicle body, so that medical staff can immediately see the drug shortage signal no matter which side they are standing on, avoiding omissions.

[0021] 4. The upper drawer is for storing high-frequency emergency medications, and the lower storage cabinet is for storing emergency equipment; the built-in storage location sensor conducts real-time inventory checks, and the central control unit automatically generates a medication replenishment list, reducing errors from manual counting and serving as a reminder.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The preferred technical solutions of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 1-5As shown, a fully automatic intelligent emergency vehicle includes an emergency vehicle body 1, a platform 2 mounted on top of the emergency vehicle body 1, wheels 3 mounted on the bottom of the emergency vehicle body 1, at least two pull-out boxes 5 and a storage cabinet 6 disposed inside the emergency vehicle body 1, and a drug shortage detection and control device. The drug shortage detection and control device includes a central control display screen 4 mounted on the platform 2 and a storage position sensor 51 disposed inside the pull-out boxes 5. The storage position sensor 51 is signal-connected to the central control display screen 4. The storage position sensor 51 is a limit switch or proximity sensor in the form of a contact or photoelectric sensor, which can monitor in real time whether the drugs have reached a preset position and send a signal. The central control display screen 4 can receive and process the signal to detect whether the drugs in the pull-out boxes 5 are missing. Medical personnel can use the central control display screen 4 to access drug information and control the opening and closing of the pull-out boxes 5 and the storage cabinets 6.

[0027] The fully automatic intelligent emergency vehicle is also equipped with a medication shortage reminder device. This device includes a drive mechanism 11, a sliding mechanism 12, and a warning mechanism 13, all located inside the top of the vehicle body 1. The drive mechanism 11 is connected to the central control display screen 4 and drives the sliding mechanism 12 to move within a sliding groove 15 along the depth direction of the vehicle body via a crossbar 14. The warning mechanism 13 is movably mounted on the side wall of the vehicle body 1 via a second spring 132 and is connected to or disconnected from the sliding mechanism 12 via a snap-fit ​​structure. This configuration allows the warning mechanism 13 to extend partially beyond the side wall of the vehicle body 1 via the elastic force of the second spring 132, or to retract into the vehicle body 1 when the snap-fit ​​structure is connected to the sliding mechanism 12. The snap-fit ​​structure includes an upper snap-fit ​​block 141 on the warning mechanism 13 and a lower snap-fit ​​block 142 on the sliding mechanism 12. Using the above scheme, when the storage location sensor 51 detects a shortage of medicine in the pull-out box 5, it sends a signal to the central control display screen 4. The central control display screen 4 has the function of receiving, processing, and sending signals. After receiving the signal of insufficient medicine, the central control display screen 4 sends a signal to the drive mechanism 11, controlling the drive mechanism 11 to drive the sliding mechanism 12 to slide until the upper locking block 141 and the lower locking block 142 disengage, causing a part of the warning mechanism to extend out of the emergency cart body, reminding medical staff to replenish the medicine in time. The central control display screen 4 can also be set to have touch or voice input functions. Medical staff can input their needs for the type and quantity of medicine, or specific emergency procedures, into the central control display screen 4 in the form of voice-to-text conversion. The central control display screen 4 will then respond, quickly process information and issue instructions according to the text instructions of the medical staff, ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of the emergency work.

[0028] like Figure 2As shown, the pull-out direction of the pull-out box 5 of the emergency cart body 1 is the depth direction of the emergency cart body 1. The drive mechanism 11 is arranged along the depth direction of the emergency cart body 1 and includes a power motor 111, a lead screw 112 connected to the output shaft of the power motor 111, and a nut seat 113 installed at the tail of the lead screw 112. The crossbar 14 is installed in the middle of the lead screw 112 and moves back and forth as the lead screw 112 rotates. Using the above scheme, after the central control display screen 4 receives a signal indicating a lack of medicine, it sends a signal to the power motor 111 in the drive mechanism 11. When the power motor 111 receives the signal from the central control display screen 4, it causes the lead screw 112 to rotate, driving the crossbar 14 to move back and forth. This enables the crossbar 14 to drive the sliding mechanism 12 to move within the sliding groove 15 arranged along the depth direction of the emergency cart body, allowing the warning mechanism 13, which is connected or disconnected from the sliding mechanism 12 via a snap-fit ​​structure, to extend out of the side wall 1 of the emergency cart body.

[0029] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the sliding mechanism 12 includes a round rod 121 disposed inside the sliding groove 15 and fixed to the body of the rescue vehicle. A first spring 122 and a lower locking block 142 are sleeved on the round rod 121. One end of the first spring 122 is fixedly connected to the lower locking block 142, and the other end is fixedly connected to the body of the rescue vehicle 1. The lower locking block 142 is fixedly connected to the crossbar 14. With the above scheme, the lower locking block 142 can slide along the round rod 121 following the crossbar 14. Then, after the lower locking block 142 disengages from the upper locking block 141, the warning mechanism 13 extends out of the side wall of the body of the rescue vehicle 1.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the warning mechanism includes an upper locking block 141, a stop plate 131, and a second spring 132. The stop plate 131 is sleeved and fixed to the outside of the upper locking block 141. The second spring 132 is sleeved to the outside of the upper locking block 141, with one end fixed to the side wall of the rescue vehicle body 1 and the other end fixed to the stop plate 131. The side wall of the rescue vehicle body 1 has an opening 133 for the upper locking block 141 to extend out. The size of the stop plate 131 is larger than the size of the opening 133. In the normal contracted state, the second spring 132 allows a portion of the upper locking block 141 to extend out of the rescue vehicle body 1. In the stretched state, it allows the upper locking block 141 to engage with the lower locking block 142, at which point the upper locking block 141 is completely retracted into the rescue vehicle body.

[0031] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the lower locking block 142 is provided with a downwardly inclined groove 1421 extending through both ends, and the upper locking block 141 is provided with a corresponding protrusion 1411, such as... Figure 5As shown, the lower surface of the lower locking block 142 is kept at a certain distance from the upper surface of the sliding groove 15, and the upper locking block 141 and the lower locking block 142 are made of elastically deformable materials (such as plastic, elastic metal, etc.). When the upper locking block 141 extends out of the side wall of the rescue vehicle body 1 and the lower locking block 142 moves back to its original position, the protrusion 1411 and the groove 1421 can be engaged by pushing the upper locking block 141 outside the rescue vehicle body 1.

[0032] like Figure 1 ,like Figure 4 As shown, an electromagnetic lock 52 is installed on the back of the pull-out box 5. The electromagnetic lock 52 is connected to the central control display screen 4 via a signal connection. The central control display screen 4 has the function of receiving, processing, and sending signals. Using the above solution, medical staff can send signals to the electromagnetic lock 52 through the central control display screen 4. Upon receiving the signal from the central control display screen 4, the electromagnetic lock 52 will quickly de-energize, thereby releasing the overall fixation of the pull-out box 5.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, a third spring 53 is installed inside the pull-out box 5. One end of the third spring 53 is fixedly connected to the pull-out box 5, and the other end is fixedly connected to the interior of the emergency cart body 1. When the electromagnetic lock 52 is de-energized, the pull-out box 5 will quickly pop out due to the elastic force of the third spring 53. At this time, medical staff can take out the medicine from the pull-out box.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, handles 7 are provided on both sides of the top outer surface of the emergency vehicle body 1 along the width direction, and the handles 7 are arranged adjacent to the warning mechanism 13. With the above solution, medical staff can visually observe whether the warning mechanism 13 has popped up when pushing the vehicle body away through the handles 7, and determine whether additional medication is needed.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, two of each of the warning mechanism 13 and sliding mechanism 12 are provided, which are arranged on both sides of the crossbar 14 along the depth direction of the rescue vehicle body.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the warning mechanism 13 and the sliding mechanism 12 are both symmetrically arranged along the width direction of the rescue vehicle body.

[0037] The working principle and usage process of this invention.

[0038] First, medical staff place emergency medications in the pull-out box 5. After completing the emergency task, if the medication consumption is less than the minimum limit, the storage position sensor 51 located inside the pull-out box 5 will detect the lack of medication and send a signal to the central control display screen 4. Subsequently, after signal processing by the central control display screen 4, a signal is sent to the drive mechanism 11 to control the power motor 111. Then, the power motor 111 drives the lead screw 112 to rotate, causing the crossbar 14 to move along the round rod 121 within the sliding groove 15 until the lower locking block 142 disengages from the upper locking block 141 of the warning mechanism. After the upper locking block 141 disengages from the lower locking block 142, due to the elastic restoring force of the second spring 132, a portion of the upper locking block 141... Figure 6 As shown, the device extends through opening 133 out of the side wall of the rescue vehicle body 1, exposed to the line of sight of medical staff, reminding them to replenish medications in a timely manner.

[0039] After the medical staff replenishes the medicine, the storage position sensor 51 inside the pull-out box 5 sends a signal to the central control display screen 4. The central control display screen 4 then sends a signal to the drive mechanism 11, controlling the power motor 111 to work in reverse, causing the lower locking block 142 to... Figure 6 The device slides to its original position as shown. Then, medical staff push the upper locking block 141 outside the body 1 of the emergency vehicle so that the protrusion 1411 of the upper locking block 141 and the groove 1421 of the lower locking block 142 engage to activate the next warning function.

[0040] When medical staff notice the warning from the alert mechanism 13 and realize that the pull-out box 5 is low on medication and needs replenishment, or needs to retrieve various medications from the pull-out box 5, they can control the central control display screen 4 to open the pull-out box 5. Upon receiving the signal from the central control display screen 4, the electromagnetic lock 52 installed inside the pull-out box 5 on the emergency cart body 1 temporarily de-energizes the electromagnetic lock 52, thereby releasing the overall fixation of the pull-out box 5. At this time, the third spring 53 installed inside the pull-out box 5 uses its elastic restoring force to pop the pull-out box 5 out. After the medications are replenished, the medical staff push the pull-out box 5 back in, and the electromagnetic lock 52 keeps the pull-out box 5 closed.

[0041] Both the handle 7 and the warning mechanism 13 are in pairs and are arranged adjacent to each other. The handle 7 and the warning mechanism 13 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top outer surface of the emergency cart body 1 along the width direction, so that medical staff can push the emergency cart no matter which side they are standing on, and can pay attention to whether the warning mechanism 13 has been deployed during the process of pushing the emergency cart, so as to replenish the medicine in time.

[0042] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
