Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of burn treatment equipment technology, and more specifically, relates to an automated burn treatment platform. Background Technology

[0002] Burns are a common and serious form of injury, especially in fire and rescue scenarios, where burns caused by flames and high temperatures pose a significant threat to both rescuers and injured personnel. Statistics show that early treatment and accurate diagnosis of burns in fire accidents are crucial for improving patient survival rates and reducing later complications.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN203816100U discloses a trolley case-type LED infrared and ultraviolet burn treatment device. It features dual functions of infrared therapy and ultraviolet disinfection, and is portable, enabling simultaneous treatment of burn patients in both hospital and outdoor settings, and facilitating early treatment of burns at fire scenes. However, existing burn treatment methods suffer from the following main problems:

[0004] 1. Inaccurate assessment of burn depth: Current technology cannot accurately assess the extent of burns at the accident scene. The assessment still relies on doctors' experience or simple equipment, lacking intelligent methods, resulting in highly subjective judgments and a high rate of misjudgment.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0030] Example:

[0031] This embodiment provides an automated burn treatment platform, based on... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the system includes a housing 1 with a lid 2. Inside the housing 1 are a wound cleaning device and a power module 3. The wound cleaning device is used to clean the wound. The power module 3 provides power to the entire automated burn treatment platform. The power module 3 is preferably a battery pack, but an external power plug design is also possible. The housing 1 is designed for easy portability and convenient entry into fire scenes for on-site rescue. Based on the above structure, the housing 1 also houses a scanning robotic arm 4, a vision module 5, and a computing control module 6. The vision module 5 is mounted at the head of the scanning robotic arm 4 and includes an infrared camera 501, a laser scanning module 502, and a vision camera 503. The infrared camera 501, laser scanning module 502, vision camera 503, wound cleaning device, and scanning robotic arm 4 are all connected to the computing control module 6 and powered by the power module 3. The computing control module 6 can be a microcontroller or a PC main control board containing a computer processor, integrated within the housing 1.

[0032] In operation, the robotic scanning arm 4 drives the vision module 5 to scan the burn area. The vision camera 503 acquires images and color information of the burn area, the infrared camera 501 acquires the temperature of the burn area and determines boundary information, and the laser scanning module 502 scans to obtain a three-dimensional image of the burn area's elevation changes. The vision module 5 transmits the acquired information to the computing and control module 6 for data processing. Through the color, area, and three-dimensional image of the wound, it accurately assesses the burn depth, area, and severity. Specifically, artificial intelligence can be used to compare the detected results with burn data in the database, providing a precise assessment of the burn severity and significantly reducing the chance of human error. The debridement equipment automatically completes the debridement operation based on the assessment results and controls the degree of debridement. Its efficiency is far higher than traditional manual operation, and it can precisely debride according to the wound condition, ensuring effective debridement. In emergency rescue scenarios, it can significantly improve the speed of burn treatment and reduce waiting time. The entire automated burn treatment platform is portable and can be quickly deployed and operate efficiently in both hospital burn units and fire rescue sites to meet the treatment needs of a large number of injured people.

[0033] Meanwhile, the vision module 5 also includes a wide-angle camera 504. The wide-angle camera 504 is used to capture images of the entire wound surface, assisting in determining the wound area. It works in conjunction with the vision camera 503 to capture local color and image information. Two sets of laser scanning modules 502 are arranged in parallel; these two sets can cooperate to more accurately construct the three-dimensional information of the wound surface, thus enabling a more accurate assessment of the burn degree. During the debridement process, the computational control module 6 and the vision module 5 also monitor the debridement effect and tissue changes in real time to ensure precise operation.

[0034] Furthermore, based on Figure 1As shown, the debridement equipment includes an ultrasonic debridement device 7, which has an ultrasonic debridement nozzle mounted on the head of the scanning robotic arm 4. The ultrasonic debridement device 7 is also prior art; this application simply integrates it into the housing 1. The ultrasonic debridement device 7 utilizes the ultrasonic "cavitation effect" to perform non-contact debridement of burned tissue, maximizing the removal of damaged tissue while protecting surrounding healthy tissue. After the scanning robotic arm 4 drives the vision module 5 to scan the burned area, the ultrasonic debridement nozzle can follow the scanning robotic arm 4 to perform precise debridement of the burned area, and can adjust the debridement intensity according to the distribution of the burn severity to achieve precise debridement.

[0035] Furthermore, based on Figure 1 As shown, the device also includes a negative pressure suction device 8, and a negative pressure suction robotic arm 9 is also installed inside the housing 1. Both the negative pressure suction robotic arm 9 and the negative pressure suction device 8 are connected to the computing control module 6 and are powered by the power supply module 3. The negative pressure suction device 8 has a negative pressure suction tube 801, the head end of which is installed at the head end of the negative pressure suction robotic arm 9. The head end of the negative pressure suction tube 801 has a porous wound dressing 802. The negative pressure suction device 8 uses negative pressure drainage technology to treat the wound, which is existing technology. The main body of the negative pressure suction device 8 can be set separately outside the housing 1 or integrated into the housing 1. After the wound is cleaned, the negative pressure suction robotic arm 9 pulls the porous wound dressing 802 to be applied to the wound. The computing control module 6 can control the negative pressure suction robotic arm 9 to precisely align the porous wound dressing 802 with the wound. The porous wound dressing 802 can be fixed to the wound through an adhesive semi-permeable membrane. When the negative pressure suction device 8 is activated, its main body generates negative pressure. This negative pressure then passes through the negative pressure suction tube 801 and the porous wound dressing 802 to begin suctioning and sealing the wound surface, continuously drawing out wound secretions to promote wound healing and reduce the risk of infection. In actual use, the negative pressure drainage tube can be equipped with a flow detection device. This device transmits the flow rate to the calculation and control module 6 for analysis to determine the amount of secretions and dynamically adjust the speed of the negative pressure drainage pump to prevent infection.

[0036] Furthermore, based on Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a sliding device 10 is also installed inside the housing 1, and the scanning robotic arm 4 is slidably mounted on the housing 1 via the sliding device 10. The sliding device 10 is connected to the operation and control module 6 and is powered by the power module 3. The distance between the scanning robotic arm 4 and the negative pressure suction robotic arm 9 can be adjusted by relative sliding to cover a larger scanning area. Specifically, the sliding device 10 includes a lead screw motor 101, a slider 102, and a slide rail 103; the slide rail 103 is arranged parallel to the lead screw of the lead screw motor 101, the base of the scanning robotic arm 4 is fixedly connected to the slider 102, the slider 102 is screwed onto the outside of the lead screw of the lead screw motor 101 and slidably mounted on the slide rail 103, the lead screw motor 101 is connected to the operation and control module 6 and is powered by the power module 3. The lead screw motor 101 drives the slider 102 to slide along the lead screw and the slide rail 103 to adjust the position of the scanning robotic arm 4.

[0037] In this embodiment, both the scanning robotic arm 4 and the negative pressure suction robotic arm 9 are three-axis or four-axis robotic arms to achieve more flexible orientation adjustment.

[0038] Furthermore, based on Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the housing 1 is also equipped with a fixed tray 11. The outer wall of the housing 1 has a fixing hole 101, and the inner wall of the fixing hole 101 has a slot 102. The edge of the fixed tray 11 has a fixing plug 111 that matches the fixing hole 101. The fixing plug 111 has a locking pin 112 that matches the slot 102. The fixed tray 11 has a locking button 113 for controlling the extension and retraction of the locking pin 112. The locking button 113 can control the extension and retraction of the locking pin 112 electrically or mechanically; both are existing technologies and will not be described further. The fixing plug 111 is inserted into the fixing hole 101, and the locking pin 112 is inserted into the slot 102. The fixed tray 11 has a groove 114, and the side wall opposite the groove 114 has a strapping hole 115. The limbs of a burn patient can be placed in the groove 114 and secured with straps to fix the burn area and ensure accurate scanning processing. When it is necessary to fix the tray 11, the fixing plug 111 can be inserted into the fixing hole 101 for fixation. When disassembling, simply press the locking button 113 to remove the fixed tray 11, which is easy to operate.

[0039] Furthermore, based on Figure 1As shown, a display screen 12 is also installed inside the enclosure 1. The display screen 12 is connected to the computing and control module 6 and is powered by the power supply module 3. The display screen 12 can be located inside the enclosure 1 or on the cover 2, whichever is convenient for viewing. The computing and control module 6 can display the burn severity assessment information on the display screen 12, and can also display some treatment suggestions for on-site rescue personnel to refer to, so as to adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner. At the same time, a communication device 13 is also installed inside the enclosure 1. The communication device 13 has a communication camera 131 installed on the inside of the cover 2. The communication device 13 is powered by the power supply module 3. The communication device 13 can remotely output data. Doctors can operate it through a remote monitoring system to obtain information about the patient's condition and guide on-site personnel in the treatment of the patient.

[0040] In this embodiment, based on Figure 1 As shown, a cover plate 14 can be installed inside the housing 1. The cover plate 14 can be installed inside the housing 1 by means of bolts or clips. In actual use, the cover plate 14 covers the top of the power module 3, the computing control module 6 and the communication device, and covers them. The main body of the ultrasonic debridement device 7, except for the ultrasonic debridement nozzle 701, is located inside the housing 1 to prevent foreign objects from the field environment from entering the core components and damaging them.

[0041] The workflow of the technical solution in this embodiment is as follows:

[0042] The burned area, such as the limbs, is placed on a fixed tray 11 and secured with straps. The scanning robotic arm 4 is activated, using the vision module 5 to scan the wound. The vision camera 503 acquires images and color information of the burned area, the infrared camera 501 acquires the temperature of the burned area and determines boundary information, and the laser scanning module 502 scans to obtain a three-dimensional image of the burn area's elevation changes. Combining these three types of data, the computational control module 6 intelligently determines the severity of the injury. After the determination is complete, a command is issued to the scanning robotic arm 4, and the ultrasonic debridement device 7 performs ultrasonic debridement on the wound. The scanning robotic arm 4 adjusts the jet angle of the ultrasonic debridement nozzle based on the three-dimensional data to clean the wound. After the wound is cleaned, the negative pressure suction robotic arm 9 applies a porous wound dressing 802 to the wound. The negative pressure suction device 8 is activated to begin negative pressure suction to close the wound. After negative pressure closure is completed, the straps can be loosened, and the negative pressure suction device 8 moves with the patient, continuously suctioning out wound secretions.

[0043] Throughout the entire process, remote observation and guidance can be provided via the communication camera 131, and information transmission is achieved through remote data interaction via the communication device 13. In use, the system analyzes the images and data obtained by the vision module 5 using deep learning algorithms to automatically determine the depth, area, and severity of the burns, and generates a diagnostic report. The assessment results are presented visually on the display screen 12, providing doctors with intelligent diagnostic suggestions.

[0044] After use, the scanning robotic arm 4 and the negative pressure suction robotic arm 9 can be folded and stored inside the housing 1. The fixing tray 11 can be removed and placed upside down on top of the scanning robotic arm 4 and the negative pressure suction robotic arm 9, and the housing lid 2 can be closed. When the negative pressure suction device 8 is external, it can be carried with the housing 1.

[0045] Application Scenario 1: Application at fire and rescue sites.

[0046] At the fire scene, the automated burn treatment platform uses a vision module 5 to quickly capture wound data from burn patients and automatically determine the degree of burns. Based on the diagnostic results, the platform's scanning robotic arm 4 drives the ultrasonic debridement nozzle 701 to automatically perform ultrasonic debridement, while the wound is protected by a negative pressure suction device 8. Doctors can monitor the treatment progress in real time through a display screen 12 and adjust the treatment plan based on the platform's diagnostic recommendations.

[0047] Application Scenario 2: Emergency Burn Treatment in Hospitals
