[0025] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, combined with Figure 2-5 This utility model discloses a hospital visit navigation device, including a shell 1, a controller 2, a display screen 3, a UWB positioning module 4, a gyroscope module 5, an NFC module 6, a power supply 7, control buttons 8, a charging interface 9, a wireless charging receiver module 10, and a partition 20.
[0027] The outer casing 1 is used to protect the internal equipment. Specifically, the outer casing 1 houses the controller 2, the UWB positioning module 4, the gyroscope module 5, the NFC module 6, and the power supply 7.
[0028] Controller 2 is used to control various devices. Specifically, controller 2 is electrically connected to display screen 3, UWB positioning module 4, gyroscope module 5, and NFC module 6, respectively. Controller 2 has a built-in drive circuit, which is connected to display screen 3. Controller 2 controls the UI interface display of display screen 3 through the drive circuit.
[0029] In some embodiments, the controller 2 uses a single-chip microcomputer STM32H743IIT6, which transmits UI interface information to the display screen 3 for display via the LTDC interface.
[0030] The display screen 3 is used to display navigation information. Specifically, the display screen 3 is provided on the upper surface of the housing 1. The displayed content may include the item to be inspected, the direction and distance of the path to the department of the current inspection item.
[0031] In some embodiments, the display screen 3 is a 4.3-inch RGB interface TFT-LCD display screen.
[0032] UWB positioning module 4 and gyroscope module 5 are used for device positioning. UWB positioning module 4 is mainly responsible for device positioning. It sends signals to multiple UWB servers installed around the hospital and calculates the device's position based on the time difference of signal reception. Gyroscope module 5 provides auxiliary positioning, determining the device's travel route and its movement up and down stairs, thereby identifying the floor the device is located on.
[0033] In some embodiments, the UWB positioning module 4 is a DWM1000 positioning module, and the UWB positioning module 4 is connected to the controller 2 via a reserved UWB communication expansion port through a UART interface. The gyroscope module 5 is a JY901S nine-axis accelerometer gyroscope, and the gyroscope module 5 is connected to the controller 2 via a UART interface.
[0034] The NFC module 6 is used to receive medical information. Specifically, the NFC module is located below the UWB positioning module, the gyroscope module, and the power supply. Since the NFC module needs to be close to the user to transmit data, it is positioned at the top bottom of the housing 1, closer to the bottom of the housing 1 than the UWB positioning module, the gyroscope module, and the power supply. The user device communicates with the doctor's NFC device via the NFC module 6 to obtain the examination items, and then the NFC module 6 transmits the data to the controller 2 via the IIC protocol.
[0035] In some embodiments, the NFC module 6 uses an ST25DV04K chip and has a built-in antenna on the PCB. The NFC module 6 is connected to the controller 2 via an IIC interface.
[0036] The power supply 7 is used to power the device. Specifically, the power supply 7 is electrically connected to the controller 2. In some embodiments, the power supply 7 is a lithium battery.
[0037] Control button 8 is used to send commands. Specifically, control button 8 is located on the side of the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the controller 2. The user can use control button 8 to confirm the completion of the current inspection item and switch to the next item to be inspected. When control button 8 is pressed, the controller 2 scans the confirmation and adjustment command issued by control button 8, switches to the next item to be inspected, and updates the display on the screen 3. The controller 2 also sends a path update request command to the UWB server device through the UWB positioning module 4, returning path information that clarifies the direction and distance to the department of the current inspection item.
[0038] The charging port 9 is used to charge the power supply 7. Specifically, the power supply 7 is provided with the charging port 9, which is located on the side of the outer casing 1.
[0039] The wireless charging receiver module 10 is used to charge the power supply 7. Specifically, the wireless charging receiver module 10 is disposed on the side of the housing 1 and located inside the housing 1, and the power supply 7 is electrically connected to the wireless charging receiver module 10.
[0040] Wireless charging technology refers to the use of a wireless charging coil transmitter module and a wireless charging coil receiver module at both the transmitting and receiving ends. The transmitting module is connected to a wired power source to generate an electromagnetic signal, while the receiving module senses this signal and generates current for charging. In some embodiments, the wireless charging receiver module 10 uses a NU1680 wireless charging receiver chip, combined with an MLCC capacitor and an inductor to form an LC resonant circuit, supporting Qi protocol 5V output.
[0041] The partition 20 is used for heat insulation. Specifically, the partition 20 is disposed inside the housing 1, the controller 2 is disposed below the display screen 3 and located on one side of the partition 20, and the UWB positioning module 4, the gyroscope module 5, the NFC module 6, and the power supply 7 are located on the other side of the partition 20. An opening 201 is provided on the partition 20. By setting up the partition 20, interference from other devices with the operation of the controller 2 is prevented. Simultaneously, the controller 2 generates a large amount of heat during operation, which can be conducted away to a certain extent through the partition 20, preventing overheating around the controller 2 from interfering with the operation of other devices. The opening 201 allows wires to pass through, thus keeping the wires neater.
