[0048] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the robot capable of performing graded nursing rounds includes:

[0049] The mobile chassis 1 has a support arm 2 fixedly connected to its top side. The mobile chassis 1 can be used with infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, lidar, etc. It can adopt technologies similar to existing sweeping robot or food delivery robot to select the movement mode and design the movement route, which will not be elaborated further.

[0050] Adjustment mechanism 3 is installed on the top side of support arm 2, and robot body 4 is installed on the top of adjustment mechanism 3;

[0051] A data acquisition camera 5 is installed on the front side of the robot body 4, and the data acquisition camera 5 is used to acquire image information in the ward.

[0052] Temperature measuring mechanism 7 is installed on the front side of robot body 4 and is used to measure patient body temperature.

[0053] Disinfection mechanism 8 is used to disinfect the temperature measuring end of temperature measuring mechanism 7.

[0054] The adjustment mechanism 3 allows for height adjustment of the robot body 4, facilitating height adjustments of the acquisition camera 5 and temperature measuring mechanism 7 as needed. This ensures better acquisition of the ward environment by the acquisition camera 5. During temperature measurement, the temperature measuring mechanism 7 can be adjusted according to requirements, making operation convenient. The temperature measuring mechanism 7 also allows for positional adjustment of the infrared thermometer 74, enabling it to be positioned closer to the patient and improving measurement accuracy. After measurement, the infrared thermometer 74 can be easily retracted, reducing its size and space occupation. Simultaneously, the disinfection mechanism 8 disinfects the measuring end of the infrared thermometer 74, avoiding the labor intensity of manual disinfection, improving disinfection efficiency, and ensuring the safety of the next patient.

[0055] The adjustment mechanism 3 includes a first electric push rod 31 and a guide plate 32. The first electric push rod 31 is fixedly installed at the top of the support arm 2.

The bottom end of the guide post 33 penetrates the surface of the guide plate 32.

[0056] The first electric push rod 31 pushes the fixed base 34, which is fixedly connected, to move. The fixed base 34 drives the robot body 4 installed at the top to move, thereby adjusting the overall height of the robot body 4. This allows for easy height adjustment of the acquisition camera 5 and the temperature measuring mechanism 7 as needed, enabling the acquisition camera 5 to better capture the environment inside the ward. During temperature measurement, the temperature measuring mechanism 7 can be adjusted according to the requirements, making operation convenient.

[0057] Multiple balls 36 are mounted on the top side of the fixed base 34. The multiple balls 36 are arranged in a ring on the top side of the fixed base 34. The top side of the balls 36 is in contact with the bottom side of the robot body 4. Two parallel guide posts 33 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixed base 34.

[0058] The ball bearing 36 is rolled and connected to the top side of the fixed base 34. The ball bearing 36 rolls and fits against the bottom side of the robot body 4, which facilitates the rotation of the robot body 4.

[0059] Multiple supplementary lights 6 are installed on the front surface of the acquisition camera 5. The multiple supplementary lights 6 are arranged in a ring on the surface of the acquisition camera 5. The supplementary lights 6 can provide light for the acquisition camera 5 when it is working, so that the acquisition camera 5 can acquire ward image information.

[0060] The temperature measuring mechanism 7 includes a second electric push rod 71 and an infrared thermometer 74. The second electric push rod 71 is fixedly installed on the side surface of the robot body 4. The output end of the second electric push rod 71 is fixedly connected to the infrared thermometer 74. The rear side of the infrared thermometer 74 is fixedly connected to a guide rod 75. A guide frame 72 is sleeved on the surface of the guide rod 75.

[0061] The second electric push rod 71 is activated, which pushes the fixedly connected infrared thermometer 74 to move. The infrared thermometer 74 is pushed close to the patient's skin by the second electric push rod 71, which facilitates temperature measurement and improves the accuracy of temperature measurement.

[0062] The guide frame 72 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the robot body 4, and the guide rod 75 passes through the inner cavity of the guide frame 72.

[0063] The front side of the robot body 4 is fixedly connected to a disinfection frame 73 via a connecting frame, and an infrared thermometer 74 passes through the inner cavity of the disinfection frame 73.

[0064] The disinfection mechanism 8 includes a medical disinfectant tank and a water pump 82. The medical disinfectant tank is fixedly installed on the side surface of the robot body 4. The water pump 82 is installed on the side surface of the medical disinfectant tank and is connected to the medical disinfectant tank. The output end of the water pump 82 is fixedly connected to a water supply pipe 83. A water mist nozzle 84 is installed on the side surface of the end of the water supply pipe 83. A filter screen 86 is installed at the bottom of the disinfection frame 73. A fan 87 is installed in the inner cavity at the bottom of the disinfection frame 73. An electric heating wire 88 is installed on the top side of the fan 87 and mounted on the inner wall of the disinfection frame 73.

[0065] The water pump 82 is started, and the water pump 82 draws out the medical disinfectant from the medical disinfectant tank. The drawn liquid is supplied to the water mist nozzle 84 through the water supply pipe 83. The water mist nozzle 84 sprays the liquid onto the surface of the infrared thermometer 74, effectively disinfecting the surface of the infrared thermometer 74. At the same time, the bottom heating wire 88 heats the surface, and the fan 87 accelerates the air flow around the heating wire 88, effectively heating and drying the infrared thermometer 74, making it easier for the next temperature measurement.

[0066] The number of water mist nozzles 84 is several, and the several water mist nozzles 84 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the top of the disinfection frame 73.

[0067] The top side surface of the robot body 4 is equipped with a control panel 9, which is electrically connected to the acquisition camera 5 and the infrared thermometer 74. The control panel 9 facilitates the control of the robot body 4, and a display screen is installed on the control panel 9 to facilitate real-time viewing of inspection data and improve the level of intelligence.

[0068] The robot body 4 is equipped with a wireless communicator based on existing technology, which communicates with the controller via Bluetooth wireless communication. The controller transmits the information collected by the wireless communicator to the smart terminal, which can be a mobile phone of medical staff or a computer at the nurse station. The smart terminal can record the ward rounds to generate ward round records and upload the ward round records to the hospital server.

[0069] The circuits, electronic components, and modules involved are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this application does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.
