Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of artificial intelligence technology, and in particular to an elderly care service robot. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards improve, people's demands for quality elderly care are also gradually increasing. Older people often have difficulty moving around and may suffer from diseases such as hypertension and diabetes that require long-term medication or treatment. As they age, their memory may also decline, and they may forget to take their medication on time. Moreover, it is difficult for young people to accompany them at all times, and it is difficult to detect and deal with emergencies in a timely manner. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an elderly care service robot that can accompany the elderly, detect dangers and abnormal situations in a timely manner, remind them to take their medication on time, and proactively find and deliver medication to the elderly.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A robot for elderly care services includes a head, a body, and a mobile base. The front end of the head is a touch screen, and head speakers are installed on both sides. The body is connected to the head via a neck, on which a facial recognition camera module is installed. Below the neck is an abdominal medicine compartment with a double-opening sealed door using a push-button electronic lock. Below the abdominal medicine compartment, the body has a spatial recognition camera module installed, and side speakers are installed on both sides of the body. The mobile base has an internal electric drive system for driving the omnidirectional wheels at the bottom.

[0005] Furthermore, a wireless transmission module is installed at the upper back of the head.

[0006] Furthermore, a weight sensor is installed inside the abdominal medicine compartment, a medicine mortar is placed above the weight sensor, and a built-in light is installed above the medicine mortar.

[0007] Furthermore, LED light strips are installed below the side speakers on the body and in front of the movable base.

[0008] The advantages of this utility model are: This invention uses a facial recognition camera to identify the user, proactively finding and moving to their side. A spatial recognition camera module captures 3D images of the surrounding space during movement, providing environmental information and obstacle avoidance for the robot. By adding IoT functionality, it can integrate with whole-house security systems or smart home systems, offering convenience for elderly people with limited mobility. It can also promptly alert or notify the user in cases of fainting, fires, or other emergencies. This invention also features a specially designed abdominal medicine compartment where family members can pre-place necessary medications and set reminders for dosage and timing. When it's time to take the medication, the robot patrols the home, locates and identifies the user, moves to their side, opens the sealed door of the abdominal medicine compartment, and reminds them to take their medication. The sealed door also uses a push-button electronic lock for manual opening in emergencies. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0011] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding of this utility model, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0012] As shown in the figure: A robot for elderly care services includes a head 1, a body 3, and a mobile base 4. The front end of the head 1 is a touch screen 11, and head speakers 1 are installed on both sides. The body 3 is connected to the head 1 via a neck 2. A face recognition camera module 21 is installed on the neck 2, and an abdominal medicine compartment 33 is located below the neck 2. The abdominal medicine compartment 33 is equipped with a double-opening sealed door 34, and the sealed door 34 is equipped with a push-button electronic door lock 35. A spatial recognition camera module 31 is installed below the abdominal medicine compartment 33 in the body 3, and side speakers 32 are installed on both sides of the body 3. An electric drive system is installed inside the mobile base 4 to drive the universal wheel set 41 at the bottom.

[0013] The robot of this utility model is mainly used for elderly care services. The touch screen 11 on the robot's head 1 is used for human-computer interaction and display functions. The face camera is mainly used for face recognition for authorization and identification of service recipients. Since the service recipients are elderly people with limited mobility, it is necessary for the robot to find the corresponding service recipients and move to their side. The spatial recognition camera module 31 collects three-dimensional images of the surrounding space during the movement, thereby providing environmental information and obstacle avoidance for the robot's movement. The mobile base 4 is equipped with an electric drive system to drive the universal wheel set 41 at the bottom for movement.

[0014] If the addition of IoT functionality is considered, a wireless transmission module 12 can be installed above and behind the head 1 to connect with the whole-house security system or smart home system, providing convenience for elderly people with limited mobility. At the same time, it can promptly alarm or notify the user in case of situations such as the elderly person fainting or fire.

[0015] Because elderly people may experience memory decline and suffer from diseases such as hypertension and rheumatism that require long-term medication or treatment, this utility model specifically designs an abdominal medicine compartment 33. Family members can place the necessary medications inside in advance and set reminders for the time and amount to take the medication. When it's time to take the medication, the robot will patrol the house, find and identify the person in need, move to their side, open the sealed door 34 of the abdominal medicine compartment 33, and remind the person to take the medication. The sealed door 34 also uses a push-button electronic door lock 35, which can be manually opened in case of emergency.

[0016] As an optimized solution, a weight sensor 36 is installed in the abdominal medicine compartment 33, a medicine bowl 37 is set above the weight sensor 36, and a built-in light 38 is installed above the medicine bowl 37. Although the dosage can be prompted by voice before taking the medicine, the elderly may not have good memory. The weight sensor 36 can detect the amount of medicine taken. If the dosage does not match the preset value, a voice reminder will be given.

[0017] To facilitate identification of the surrounding environment and movement in low-light conditions, LED light strips are installed below the speaker 32 on the side of the body 3 and in front of the mobile base 4. In addition, they can flash in conjunction with the speaker to provide warnings in special circumstances.

[0018] Based on the existing hardware of this utility model, many functions can be developed. For example, by using the images collected by the spatial recognition camera module 31 and in conjunction with the trained AI image recognition module, emergency situations involving service personnel and the environment can be identified, and alarms can be triggered or family members can be notified in a timely manner through network connectivity. Functions such as video calls and voice calls can also be added.

[0019] For aspects not detailed in this article, such as facial recognition technology, robot motion control technology, and wireless communication technology, existing technologies are used. This article focuses on structural improvements and does not include improvements to software algorithms, etc. Existing technology modules are used.

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
