Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical robot technology, and more specifically, to a miniature electric needle clamp for a blood collection robot. Background Technology

[0002] Vascular puncture is a clinical procedure used for blood draws, laboratory tests, blood transfusions, intravenous infusions, and catheter insertion for angiography. It can also be used for interventional treatments. Common vascular punctures include femoral artery puncture, femoral vein puncture, subclavian artery and vein puncture, and radial artery puncture. Currently, vascular punctures are typically performed manually, which relies entirely on experience. In hospitals and blood collection centers, the large number of patients requiring punctures necessitates long working hours for medical staff. This repetitive nature of vascular punctures keeps staff in a state of high concentration for extended periods, easily leading to fatigue and unintended medical errors. The procedure suffers from several pain points, including poor visibility, inaccurate punctures, high workload and fatigue for nurses, low efficiency, long waiting times, and a higher risk of doctor-patient conflicts.

[0003] Blood collection robots can perform all actions in the entire blood collection process (pulse pressure, disinfection, puncture and blood collection, pressure to stop bleeding, shaking of blood collection tubes, and recycling of blood collection consumables, etc.). However, in the process of automatic identification and grasping of blood collection needles, a needle clamping device is required to accurately grasp the blood collection needle. This needle clamping device is required to be small in size and light in weight (tens of grams) to meet the requirements of accurate and fast automatic puncture. However, the weight and size of some commonly used electric grippers are difficult to meet the requirements.

[0004] In some currently used automated blood collection robots, this gripper is a pneumatic gripper. The gripper's weight and size meet the requirements, but the overall operation relies on an air source and other pneumatic components, making the system complex and relatively large in size and weight.

[0005] In some automated blood collection robot electric gripper solutions, the clamping and closing of the needle clamp is controlled by switching the electromagnet's attraction force on and off, or by pushing and pulling the electromagnet. However, this approach has two drawbacks: firstly, the clamping stroke and force are difficult to control, and secondly, the clamping accuracy is difficult to guarantee.

[0006] In some other automated blood collection robot electric gripper designs, the gripping finger and fingertip are integrated into one unit. If the motor loses power or other malfunctions, it cannot be manually opened, posing a safety risk. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This invention provides a miniature electric needle clamp for a blood collection robot, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model discloses a miniature electric needle clamp for a blood collection robot. This needle clamp has fingertips adapted to the shape of the blood collection needle. The fingertips can automatically open and close via a motor-driven linkage mechanism, with controllable stroke. It is lightweight, compact, and avoids dependence on an air source. In case of malfunction, it can also be manually released by disconnecting the power to prevent medical accidents. The special structure design of the fingertips makes the clamping more secure and prevents the needle handle from being misaligned, ensuring puncture accuracy. It can be applied to the reliable clamping of blood collection needles in automatic blood collection robots.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a miniature electric needle clamp for a blood collection robot, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] This utility model provides a miniature electric needle clamp for a blood collection robot. It adopts a compact design, with a small overall size and light weight (tens of grams). Therefore, it has a small moment of inertia and has little impact on the end-effector (precision and speed). It meets the requirements of the end-effector of the blood collection robot and can realize the rapid and accurate puncture action of the end-effector.

[0011] This invention provides a miniature electric needle clamp for a blood collection robot. The fingertip can be automatically opened and closed by a motor-driven linkage mechanism. It does not rely on an air source, has a simple overall structure, and is easy to install, use, and maintain.

[0012] This utility model provides a miniature electric needle clamp for a blood collection robot. By configuring front and rear limit sensors to control the start and stop of the motor, the clamping and closing of the gripper can be controlled. At the same time, the installation position of the front and rear limit sensors can be adjusted according to different situations, thereby indirectly controlling the stroke of the clamping and closing, and further controlling the tightness of the clamping.

[0013] This invention provides a miniature electric needle clamp for a blood collection robot. The clamping fingers and fingertips are detachable, allowing for manual release in case of motor power failure or other malfunctions, thus preventing medical accidents.

[0014] This utility model provides a miniature electric needle clamp for a blood collection robot. The fingertip is designed with a groove that matches the shape of the blood collection needle, which can accurately clamp and position the blood collection needle. The rubber coating on the fingertip has a cushioning effect, reduces impact, prevents motor jamming, and improves the reliability and service life of the needle clamp. Attached Figure Description
