[0025] Working principle: The injection robotic arm is composed of six servo motors, a base 23, a bracket, a depth camera 2, an electric push rod 15, a syringe 17, etc. The six servo motors respectively correspond to the six degrees of freedom of the main arm used in standard medical injections from head to tail, which are the rotation of the wrist, the flexion and extension of the wrist, the rotation of the elbow, the flexion and extension of the elbow, the rotation of the upper arm, and the flexion and extension of the upper arm. By having multiple professional physicians simulate the standard injection movements and adding marker points to the six degrees of freedom of the arm used in injection, the algorithm of its movement trajectory is accurately obtained using motion capture technology and input into the system controlling the robotic arm to complete the control of the robotic arm for professional medical injections; The algorithm is optimized using the motion capture technology and applied to the injection robotic arm. Precise motion data of the robotic arm and the syringe during the injection process are obtained through the motion capture technology, and then an optimized algorithm model is trained based on these data. This model can accurately control the robotic arm to perform injection actions, including the position, angle, depth, and injection speed of the injection, to achieve high-precision injection operations.

[0026] When we use this device to give a muscle injection to a patient, first start the robotic arm. The robotic arm automatically identifies and clamps the syringe 17 through the depth camera 2. Then, the output end of the electric push rod 15 extends, driving the second piston 19 into the syringe 17. Then, the robotic arm controls the syringe 17 to insert the needle into the medicine bottle. At this time, the control system controls the air pump 16 to act, extracting the air between the first piston 18 and the second piston 19, so that the first piston 18 moves towards the second piston 19 under the action of negative pressure, and then sucks the medicine in the medicine bottle into the syringe 17; Then, the robotic arm uses image recognition technology to automatically identify the injection site and disinfect the injection site through the disinfection component. After disinfection is completed, the control system controls the air pump 16 to inject high-pressure gas into the space between the first piston 18 and the second piston 19, using the high-pressure gas to push the first piston 18 towards the needle to complete the injection; Through the coordinated setting of the robotic arm, the clamping component, the injection component, and the disinfection component, this device can not only automatically replace the syringe 17, but also achieve the effects of automatically sucking and injecting the medicine. In addition, it can disinfect the injection site before injection, greatly improving the practicality and working efficiency of this device.

[0027] Embodiment 2: The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that a mist spray head is fixedly installed at one end of the disinfection tank 10 facing the syringe 17. A third piston is slidably sleeved in the disinfection tank 10. The third piston divides the disinfection tank 10 into an installation cavity and a liquid storage cavity. The mist spray head and the feed pipe 21 are both communicated with the liquid storage cavity. An electric push rod is fixedly installed in the installation cavity. The output end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the third piston. An air inlet hole is opened at one end of the installation cavity away from the mist spray head. The disinfectant liquid is stored in the liquid storage cavity. When it is necessary to disinfect the injection position, the control system controls the output end of the electric push rod to extend, so as to drive the third piston to move towards the mist spray head, and then pressurize the disinfectant liquid in the liquid storage cavity and spray it out through the mist spray head. Thus, no matter which position the mist spray head faces, the disinfectant liquid in the liquid storage cavity can be sprayed out through the mist spray head.

In addition, although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention.
