Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of robotics technology, specifically relating to a multifunctional intelligent elderly care robot. Background Technology

[0002] Elderly care robots are designed to accompany and serve the elderly. Existing elderly care robots mostly accompany the elderly through voice interaction and have relatively limited functions. For the elderly with chronic diseases, such as diabetes, who need to take medication for a long time, existing elderly care robots generally remind the elderly to take their medication on time through voice. However, due to the limited mobility of the elderly, voice reminders alone cannot effectively assist them in taking their medication. Furthermore, the elderly care robot cannot effectively detect whether the medication has been taken. Therefore, we have designed and proposed a multifunctional smart elderly care robot. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies that cannot effectively assist the elderly in taking medication on time, and to propose a multifunctional intelligent elderly care robot. This multifunctional intelligent elderly care robot can monitor medication administration and has diverse functions.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] Design a multifunctional smart elderly care robot, including a robot body, a touch screen display at the front of the robot body, a head at the top of the robot body, a medicine compartment inside the head, an automatically opening electric cover on the opening of the medicine compartment, a base at the bottom of the medicine compartment, multiple slots arrayed on the base, a matching drug delivery slot slidably connected in the slots, a medicine box inside the drug delivery slot, an electromagnetic telescopic rod fixed at the bottom of the slot for raising and lowering the drug delivery slot, an infrared sensor fixed at the rear of the medicine compartment for detecting the raised medicine box, and the infrared sensor and the electromagnetic telescopic rod connected to a controller inside the robot body via wires.

[0006] Furthermore, a swing arm motor for opening and closing the cover plate is provided behind the head. A curved arm is fixedly provided on the output shaft of the swing arm motor, and the other end of the curved arm is fixedly connected to the cover plate. The swing arm motor is connected to a controller inside the robot body.

[0007] Furthermore, the drug delivery slot is a transparent slot, and its internal depth is less than the height of the medicine box.

[0008] Furthermore, a ring-shaped circuit board is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drug delivery tank, and multiple LED beads are provided on the side of the circuit board facing the drug delivery tank. The circuit board is connected to the controller inside the robot body.

[0022] The structural features of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] See Figures 1-5 A multifunctional smart elderly care robot includes a robot body 1, with wheels at the bottom and a touch screen 2 at the front for inputting human-computer interaction commands. A head 3 is located at the top of the robot body 1, and a medicine compartment 31 is located inside the head 3 for storing medicines. An automatically opening electric cover 4 is provided on the opening of the medicine compartment 31, the size of which is adapted to the opening of the medicine compartment 31. A swing arm motor 42 for opening and closing the cover 4 is located at the rear of the head 3. A curved arm 41 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the swing arm motor 42, and the other end of the curved arm 41 is fixedly connected to the cover 4. The swing arm motor 42 is connected to a controller inside the robot body 1, which is a PLC controller. The swing arm motor 42 is a servo motor, and under the control of the controller, it can swing back and forth. The maximum swing angle allows the electric cover 4 to open to its maximum angle.

[0024] The bottom of the medicine compartment 31 is provided with a base 32, and multiple through slots 33 are arranged in an array on the base 32. The through slots 33 are densely arranged, and a suitable drug administration slot 6 is slidably connected in the through slots 33. The drug administration slot 6 is a square slot with an open top. A medicine box 9 is provided in the drug administration slot 6. The medicine box 9 contains medicine. In order to make the medicine box 9 reusable and convenient to take out and put in medicine, the medicine box 9 adopts a drawer box.

[0025] An electromagnetic telescopic rod 5 for raising and lowering the medication dispenser 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the channel 33. The electromagnetic telescopic rod 5 can push the medication dispenser 6 up individually. An infrared sensor 7 is fixedly installed at the rear of the medicine box 31. The infrared sensor 7 is used to detect the medicine box 9 after it is raised. The infrared sensor 7 and the electromagnetic telescopic rod 5 are connected to the controller inside the robot body 1 through wires. The internal depth of the medication dispenser 6 is less than the height of the medicine box 9. The medicine box 9 is pushed up individually, which makes it easier to take out the corresponding medicine box 9. On the other hand, the pushed medicine box 9 will block the rays of the infrared sensor 7 and be detected. A speaker 8 is also fixedly installed inside the head 3. The speaker 8 is connected to the controller inside the robot body 1. Only when the medicine box 9 is taken out and the obstruction is removed will the speaker 8 stop sounding, indicating that the medicine has been taken out and taken.

[0026] This utility model discloses a multifunctional smart elderly care robot that can follow the elderly and deliver the medicine to them in a timely manner, realizing the function of timed medication administration. Through the separately pushed medication slot 6, the medicine box 9 can be delivered separately. The elderly care robot will only stop reminding the elderly after the medicine has been taken out, thus realizing the monitoring of medication administration.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Reference Figures 4-5 As another preferred embodiment of this utility model, the difference from embodiment 1 is that the drug administration slot 6 is a transparent slot, and a ring-shaped circuit board 61 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the drug administration slot 6. Multiple LED beads 62 are provided on the side of the circuit board 61 facing the drug administration slot 6. The circuit board 61 is connected to the controller inside the robot body 1. When the drug administration slot 6 is pushed up individually, the LED beads 62 are lit up. The LED beads 62 illuminate the transparent drug administration slot 6, so that the individually raised drug administration slot 6 is illuminated, making it easier for the elderly to notice the location of the medicine to be taken and making it easier for the elderly to accurately take the medicine.

[0029] Example 3

[0030] Reference Figure 1As another preferred embodiment of this utility model, the difference from embodiment 1 is that a storage compartment 11 is provided below the robot body 1, and a sweeping robot 12 is provided in the storage compartment 11. The sweeping robot 12 is connected to the robot body 1 wirelessly. A camera 13 is provided in front of the robot body 1. The camera 13 in front of the robot body 1 can identify garbage on the ground and can clean up the garbage autonomously or according to instructions through the sweeping robot 12, which can help elderly people with limited mobility to clean up.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
