Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of safety monitoring technology, and in particular to an infusion monitor. Background Technology

[0002] Existing infusion monitoring methods have many shortcomings in medical intravenous infusion processes. Traditional infusion methods mainly rely on medical staff to periodically check the infusion progress and patient condition. This not only consumes a lot of manpower, but is also prone to problems such as untimely monitoring due to negligence. For example, failure to change or remove the needle in time after the infusion is completed may lead to medical risks such as backflow of blood and air embolism, affecting the patient's treatment safety and experience.

[0003] Although there are some infusion monitoring devices on the market, their functions are often relatively simple; some simple monitoring devices can only monitor whether there is liquid flowing in the infusion tube, and cannot accurately know the remaining amount of medicine in the infusion bottle, the infusion rate, and the patient's safety status. Moreover, existing monitoring equipment has technical deficiencies in height detection, location tracking, and alarm for abnormal situations, making it difficult to achieve comprehensive and accurate monitoring of the entire infusion process.

[0004] Furthermore, existing technologies lack effective monitoring and handling mechanisms for issues such as patients pulling out the infusion tubing during infusion, making it impossible to guarantee the safety and stability of the infusion process.

[0005] There is an urgent need for an infusion monitoring device to improve the intelligence and safety of the medical infusion process. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an infusion monitor to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: This application discloses an infusion monitor, including a bottle hanging support, a bottle hanging hook on the support, a liquid bottle connected to the hook, an injection solution contained in the liquid bottle, a positioning groove on the support, a locator movably connected to the positioning groove, a height detection device on the locator, a detection plate connected to the support, the detection plate and the locator transmitting signals wirelessly, the detection plate being mounted on a connecting carrier, a safety rope on the connecting carrier, the safety rope being connected to the support, a main control board and an alarm mechanism on the support, the main control board being electrically connected to the locator and the alarm mechanism via wires and wirelessly.

[0008] The bottle hanging support has a moving mechanism at the bottom, which includes several casters. The casters allow movement in any direction. The casters are locking wheels, which can be quickly fixed to prevent displacement during use.

[0009] The bottle hook at the top of the bottle hanging post is movably connected to the bottle hanging post and is equipped with a limiting device. When not in use, the bottle hook can be rotated upwards and retracted to avoid collision with external objects and thus prevent danger.

[0010] Preferably, the detection chip is provided with a positioning chip, and the height detection device includes a signal transmission module, which is wirelessly connected to the positioning chip and identifies the height of the positioning chip through signal feedback.

[0011] Preferably, the height detection device includes a camera mounted on the locator, the camera facing the connecting carrier, and identifies the connecting carrier at intervals. When the camera is detected to be higher than the position of the locator, an electrical signal is sent to the main control board.

[0012] Preferably, the alarm mechanism includes a buzzer and an alarm light, which are electrically connected to the main control board via wires or wirelessly. The buzzer and alarm light trigger an alarm when the main control board receives an electrical signal indicating a dangerous state.

[0013] Preferably, the bottle hook is equipped with a top monitor, which includes a detection sleeve on the bottle hook. One end of the detection sleeve is connected to the bottle hook, and the other end is connected to the infusion bottle. The detection sleeve contains a force sensor and a control chip, which are electrically connected to the main control board via wireless transmission.

[0014] Preferably, the detection housing is equipped with a top camera component, which captures image information of the infusion bottle. The top camera component is wirelessly connected to the main control board via wires through a control chip.

[0015] Preferably, the bottle hanging support is provided with a rope winding wheel, on which one end of the safety rope is wound, and the other end of the safety rope is connected to the connecting carrier. The rope winding wheel is connected to a winding mechanism, which winds up the safety rope and uses a sensor on it to identify and monitor the safety range of the safety rope.

[0016] Preferably, the winding mechanism includes a spring spring on the winding wheel, one end of which is connected to the winding plate. The winding plate is fixedly connected to the winding wheel. When the winding wheel rotates, it drives the spring spring to wind. The winding wheel is provided with a locking mechanism, which includes an electrically operated clamp. The clamp is located on the bottle support post and secures the safety rope when the sensor detects an abnormal state of the safety rope.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: (1) By using the height detection device on the locator in conjunction with the positioning chip on the detection chip, the height of the positioning chip can be accurately identified, or the camera can be used to identify the connecting carrier at regular intervals, so as to keep track of the changes in the height of the patient's infusion position in real time. When the patient exhibits dangerous behavior, an alarm can be set off in time, which helps medical staff to understand the safety situation in a timely manner and provides a basis for accurately judging the infusion situation. (2) The force sensor and control chip on the top monitor of the bottle hook can monitor the change of gravity of the infusion bottle in real time. The change of infusion progress can be obtained by simple calculation. Combined with the image information captured by the top camera component, the changes in the amount of medicine in the infusion bottle and whether there is any blockage can be detected in time, thus improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of monitoring. (3) The safety rope's safe range is monitored by the rope winding wheel and winding mechanism on the bottle hanging support, in conjunction with sensors. When the safety rope is in an abnormal state, the locking mechanism's fixing clamp can fix the safety rope in time to prevent the connecting carrier from falling off, thus ensuring the safety and stability of the infusion process. The features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail through embodiments and accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit its scope. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present utility model.

[0020] See Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an infusion monitor, which consists of a bottle hanging support 1, a bottle hanging hook 2, an infusion bottle, a locator 4, a detection plate, a connecting carrier 5, a safety rope 501, a main control board, an alarm mechanism, and a top monitor 201.

[0021] The bottle hanging support 1 is the supporting structure of the entire device. It is equipped with a bottle hanging hook 2 for suspending the liquid bottle containing the injection solution. The bottle hanging hook 2 is used to ensure that the liquid bottle remains stable during the infusion process.

[0022] The locator 4 is movably connected to the positioning groove 401 provided on the bottle hanging support 1. It is equipped with a height detection device, which includes a signal transmission module. The signal transmission module is wirelessly connected to the positioning chip on the detection chip and uses signal feedback to identify the height of the positioning chip.

[0023] The bottle hanging support 1 has a moving mechanism 3 at its bottom. The moving mechanism 3 includes several casters, which enable movement in any direction. The casters are locking wheels, which can be quickly fixed to prevent displacement during use.

[0024] The bottle hook 2 at the top of the bottle hanging support 1 is movably connected to the bottle hanging support 1 and is provided with a limiting member 202. When not in use, the bottle hook 2 can be rotated upwards and retracted to avoid collision with external objects and thus prevent danger.

[0025] In one feasible embodiment, the height detection device includes a camera mounted on the locator 4, the camera facing the connecting carrier 5, and the connecting carrier 5 being identified at regular intervals.

[0026] The camera and the locator 4 are rotatably connected and controlled by a motor on the locator 4.

[0027] The detection plate is installed on the connecting carrier 5, and the connecting carrier 5 is also equipped with a safety rope 501. The other end of the safety rope 501 is connected to the bottle hanging support 1. The positioning chip on the detection plate is used to cooperate with the height detection device of the locator 4 to realize the height monitoring function.

[0028] The connecting carrier 5, including wristbands, safety clips, etc., is installed at the patient's infusion site without affecting the patient's normal movement.

[0029] The main control board is installed on the bottle hanging support 1 and is electrically connected to the locator 4 and the alarm mechanism via wires or wireless means.

[0030] The alarm system includes a buzzer and an alarm light. When the main control board receives an electrical signal indicating a dangerous situation, the buzzer sounds and the alarm light illuminates to alert medical staff.

[0031] Dangerous electrical signals include: the patient raising their hand above the standard height, the patient's hand being too far from the IV support 1, and the patient compressing the IV tubing, causing blockages.

[0032] The bottle hook 2 is equipped with a top monitor 201, which consists of a detection housing, a force sensor, a control chip, and a top camera assembly. One end of the detection housing is connected to the bottle hook 2, and the other end is connected to the infusion bottle. The force sensor and the control chip are installed inside the detection housing. The force sensor is used to monitor the gravity change of the infusion bottle, and the control chip is responsible for processing the data from the force sensor and transmitting the data to the main control board wirelessly. The top camera assembly is installed on the detection housing and can capture image information of the infusion bottle. This image information is connected to the main control board via wires or wirelessly through the control chip so that medical staff can observe the situation inside the infusion bottle.

[0033] The force sensor in the top monitor 201 monitors the changes in gravity of the infusion bottle in real time. Based on these changes, the infusion progress can be obtained through simple calculations. Simultaneously, the top camera module captures images of the inside of the infusion bottle, allowing medical staff to observe changes in medication dosage, blockages, or other abnormalities, thus improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of infusion status monitoring. The bottle hanging support 1 is equipped with a rope winding wheel 601, on which one end of the safety rope 501 is wound. The other end of the safety rope 501 is connected to the connecting carrier 5. The rope winding wheel 601 is connected to a winding mechanism, which includes a spring spring 602 on the rope winding wheel 601. One end of the spring spring 602 is connected to the rope winding plate, which is fixedly connected to the rope winding wheel 601. When the rope winding wheel 601 rotates, it drives the spring spring 602 to wind. The rope winding wheel 601 is also equipped with a locking mechanism, which includes an electric fixing clamp. The fixing clamp is installed on the bottle hanging support 1. The sensor on the winding mechanism can identify and monitor the safety range of the safety rope 501.

[0034] The rope reel 601 and the winding mechanism, together with sensors, monitor the safety range of the safety rope 501. When the safety rope 501 malfunctions, such as being overstretched or loose, the sensors on the winding mechanism detect the abnormality, triggering the locking mechanism. The electrically operated clamp secures the safety rope 501, and an alarm light and buzzer sound to alert the patient to be careful. Furthermore, the safety rope 501 is shorter than the infusion tubing, preventing accidental disconnection of the tubing and ensuring the safety and stability of the infusion process.

[0035] When the main control board receives a dangerous electrical signal from the locator 4, the top monitor 201, or the winding mechanism sensor, it immediately activates the alarm mechanism. The buzzer sounds an alarm, and the alarm light flashes to attract the attention of medical staff so that various abnormal situations during the infusion process can be dealt with in a timely manner.

[0036] The working process of this utility model: This utility model discloses an infusion monitoring device. Before starting the infusion, medical staff first hang the infusion bottle on the top monitor 201 of the bottle hook 2 to ensure the bottle is securely installed. Then, the detection strip is installed on the connecting carrier 5, the connecting carrier 5 is worn on the patient's hand receiving the infusion, and a safety rope 501 is connected. The safety rope 501 is then connected to the rope wheel 601 on the bottle hanging support 1, and the positioner 4 is moved to a suitable position. The position is adjusted according to the patient's body size, posture during the infusion, and location, so that the camera is directly facing the patient's hand receiving the infusion and the hand is kept as centered as possible in the camera.

[0037] During the infusion process, the height detection device starts working, and the signal transmission module continuously interacts with the positioning chip via radio signals to obtain the height information of the positioning chip in real time and transmit it to the main control board. The camera takes pictures and identifies the connecting carrier 5 at set time intervals (1s~5s). Once it is detected that the height of the camera is higher than the danger position, which may easily cause interruption or backflow, or that the distance between the camera and the hanging bottle support 1 is too far and there is a risk of disconnection, an electrical signal is immediately sent to the main control board.

[0038] When an abnormal situation occurs during the infusion process, the corresponding monitoring components will react in a timely manner. If the amount of medicine in the infusion bottle is nearly used up or a blockage occurs, the force sensor of the top monitor 201 will detect the abnormal change in gravity, and the image captured by the top camera component will also show the abnormal situation. The control chip will transmit this information to the main control board wirelessly. After receiving the danger signal, the main control board will immediately activate the alarm mechanism, the buzzer will sound an alarm, and the alarm light will light up to remind the patient and medical staff.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
