[0002] The statements herein provide only background information related to this invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] With the development of technology, it has become a reality for robots to replace humans in completing tasks, and improving people's quality of life through service robots is also a goal pursued by many. Currently, medical innovation offers advanced equipment and high-tech solutions that can significantly address some challenges in the healthcare system and improve medical efficiency. This reduces the workload of medical staff while facilitating faster access to care for patients. Particularly in the care of patients with mental disorders, traditional methods cannot fully meet their needs. Patients with mental disorders require constant monitoring during rehabilitation, making traditional manual care too burdensome. In this scenario, medical robots can assist medical staff, improving care efficiency while reducing their workload.
[0004] Due to the unique characteristics of patients with mental disorders, the requirements for medical robots are higher. However, the sensors and other components used in existing medical robots are all externally mounted. When a medical robot collides with a patient, it is prone to tipping over, resulting in damage. The fact that the sensors protrude from the robot's shell also increases the probability of tipping over. In addition, the excessive number of sharp edges in existing medical robots can also cause harm to patients. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel medical robot that houses the sensors, industrial control computer, and walking drive mechanism within the shell, thereby reducing the harm to patients when the medical robot collides with them.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of this utility model provide a novel medical robot, comprising a chassis shell, a middle shell, and an upper shell arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The corners of the chassis shell, the middle shell, and the upper shell are all rounded. A walking drive mechanism is located inside the chassis shell. Sensors are installed inside the upper shell. An industrial control computer is installed inside the middle shell. The upper shell is engaged with the top of the middle shell. A touch screen is installed on the top of the upper shell.
[0008] As a further technical solution, the cross-sections of the chassis shell, the middle shell, and the upper shell decrease sequentially, and the robot shell has a shape that is thicker at the bottom and thinner at the top.
[0009] As a further technical solution, a mounting plate is provided inside the upper housing, and various sensors are fixedly mounted on the mounting plate.
[0010] As a further technical solution, an acrylic transparent plate is provided on the upper shell corresponding to the position of the vision sensor, and the acrylic transparent plate is fixed to the upper shell by a snap-fit method.
[0011] As a further technical solution, a lidar is installed between the chassis shell and the middle shell.
[0012] As a further technical solution, a working status display light strip is provided below the middle outer shell.
[0013] As a further technical solution, the upper shell is also provided with a left speaker, a right speaker and a microphone, all of which are snapped onto the upper shell.
[0014] As a further technical solution, the touchscreen is rotatably mounted on the top of the upper housing.
[0015] As a further technical solution, the walking drive mechanism includes a motor, a meshing active bevel gear and a driven bevel gear, the active bevel gear being connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the driven bevel gear being connected to the drive wheel via a drive shaft.
[0016] As a further technical solution, the drive wheel is provided with two wheels and the driven wheel is provided with one wheel, and the two drive wheels and the driven wheel are distributed in an isosceles triangle.
[0017] The beneficial effects of the above-described embodiments of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] The novel medical robot provided by this utility model adopts rounded corner design at the edges of the chassis shell, middle shell and upper shell, so that the robot shell has no sharp corners. This can reduce the injury to the patient when the medical robot collides with the patient. At the same time, the sensors, industrial control computer and walking drive mechanism are all set inside the shell. The shell is made of sheet metal material, so even if the medical robot tipes over, it will not damage the internal structure such as sensors.
[0019] The novel medical robot provided by this utility model has an overall shape that is thicker at the bottom and thinner at the top. The heavier components, such as the walking drive and industrial control computer, are located at the bottom of the robot, while the lighter components, such as sensors, are located at the top. This design avoids the medical robot being top-heavy and reduces the probability of it tipping over.
[0020] The novel medical robot provided by this utility model has two drive wheels and driven wheels arranged in an isosceles triangle to form a stable triangular structure, thereby improving the stability of the walking structure. Attached Figure Description

[0027] It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] In a typical embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a novel medical robot is provided, comprising a chassis shell 1, a middle shell 2, and an upper shell 3 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The corners of the chassis shell 1, the middle shell 2, and the upper shell 3 are all rounded. The chassis shell 1 houses a walking drive mechanism, the upper shell 2 houses sensors, and the middle shell 2 houses an industrial control computer. The upper shell 3 is engaged with the top of the middle shell 2, and a touch screen 4 is provided on the top of the upper shell 3.
[0030] By employing rounded corners at the edges of the chassis shell 1, middle shell 2, and upper shell 3, the robot's overall shell is free of sharp edges, reducing the risk of injury to patients in the event of a collision. Furthermore, the sensors, industrial control computer, and walking drive mechanism are all housed within the shell, which is constructed entirely of sheet metal. This ensures that even if the robot tipps over, the internal structures, such as the sensors, will not be damaged. Moreover, the cross-sections of the chassis shell 1, middle shell 2, and upper shell 3 decrease sequentially, resulting in a bottom-thinning shape. Heavier components, such as the walking drive mechanism and industrial control computer, are positioned at the bottom of the robot, while lighter components like the sensors are located at the top. This prevents the robot from being top-heavy, further reducing the probability of tipping over.
[0031] In this embodiment, an mounting plate is provided inside the upper outer shell 3, and various sensors are fixedly mounted on the mounting plate. By integrating various sensors inside the upper outer shell through the mounting plate, the sensors are prevented from protruding from the outer shell, thereby reducing the probability of collision between the medical robot and the patient.
[0032] In this embodiment, an acrylic transparent plate 7 is provided on the upper outer shell 3 at the position corresponding to the vision sensor. The acrylic transparent plate 7 is fixed to the upper outer shell 3 by a snap-fit method, which realizes the enclosed vision sensor in the shell, which can not only prevent dust but also reduce the probability of collision.
[0033] In this embodiment, a lidar 9 is installed between the chassis housing 1 and the middle housing 2. The lidar 9 is hidden between the chassis housing 1 and the middle housing 2 to avoid collisions.
[0034] In this embodiment, a working status display light strip 8 is provided below the middle outer shell 2. Different colors are displayed by the working status display light strip 8 to indicate different working states of the medical robot, such as red indicating that it needs to be charged, green indicating that it is working normally, and orange indicating that it is in standby mode.
[0035] In this embodiment, the upper outer shell 3 is also provided with a speaker 5 and a microphone 6. There are two speakers 5 on the left and right sides respectively, and the left speaker, the right speaker and the microphone are all engaged with the upper outer shell 3.
[0036] In this embodiment, the touch screen 4 is rotatably mounted on the top of the upper housing 3 so that the touch screen can be unfolded when in use and closed when not in use, which can also prevent collisions from occurring.
[0037] like Figure 3As shown, the walking drive mechanism includes a motor, a meshing driving bevel gear 14 and a driven bevel gear 13. The driving bevel gear 14 is connected to the motor output shaft 11, and the driven bevel gear 13 is connected to the drive wheel 12 via a drive shaft 15. The motor drives the motor output shaft 11 to rotate, which in turn transmits the rotational speed to the drive wheel 12 through the meshing driving bevel gear 14 and driven bevel gear 13 and the drive shaft 15, thereby enabling the drive wheel 12 to move.
[0038] Furthermore, there are two drive wheels 12 and one driven wheel 10. The two drive wheels 12 and the driven wheel 10 are arranged in an isosceles triangle to form a stable triangular structure, thereby improving the stability of the walking structure. The driven wheel can be a caster wheel.
[0039] Because the behavior of patients with mental disorders is unstable, the probability of medical robots tipping over is greatly increased. The novel medical robot provided in this embodiment houses the sensors, industrial control computer and walking drive mechanism inside the shell, so that even if the medical robot tipps over, it will not damage the internal structure such as the sensors.
[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
