Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of automated medical insurance settlement, and in particular to a physical keypad automatic input device suitable for the breakdown of medical insurance costs. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, when public hospitals at all levels are carrying out medical insurance expense breakdown and settlement, when the medical insurance settlement system jumps to the personal medical insurance account payment stage, they are required to use a dedicated medical insurance hardware encrypted password keyboard to complete the input of the payment password.
[0003] This type of hospital-specific hardware encrypted keypad features hardware encryption verification, data encryption isolation, and anti-signal hijacking capabilities. Conventional RPA (a general process automation robot used to simulate manual keyboard and mouse operation, interface data transfer, form filling, repetitive document entry, and simple branch judgment) running in the hospital's medical insurance settlement terminal cannot operate the medical insurance-specific hardware encrypted keypad to complete the input of payment passwords through virtual keyboard and mouse, signal injection, port simulation, or other methods. Therefore, at present, medical staff can only manually press the keypad to input payment passwords in order to meet the stringent industry compliance requirements.
[0004] However, this would force the automated process of medical insurance expense breakdown and settlement to be interrupted, significantly reducing the overall efficiency of medical insurance expense breakdown and settlement. Furthermore, the manual method of entering payment passwords is highly repetitive, tedious, and labor-intensive, and is prone to errors such as incorrect or missed keystrokes, resulting in delays and backlog of medical insurance expense breakdown and settlement.
[0005] Therefore, how to ensure that the payment password input operation can maintain a high frequency and stable operation over a long period of time, and meet the stringent industry compliance constraints, is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a physical key automatic input device suitable for medical insurance cost breakdown, including: a clamping base 110, a rigid clamp 120, a connecting screw 130, an adjusting nut 140, a mounting frame 150, an electromagnet 160, a pressing transmission rod 170, a relay 180, and a USB serial port chip 190.
[0022] The lower end of the connecting screw 130 is fixedly connected to the clamping base 110, and the upper end of the connecting screw 130 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 150. The rigid clamp 120 is fitted onto the connecting screw 130 and can move up and down along the connecting screw 130. The adjusting nut 140 is screwed onto the screw 130 and is located between the rigid clamp 120 and the mounting frame 150. The position of the rigid clamp 120 on the connecting screw 130 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting nut 140 so that the rigid clamp 120 and the medical insurance dedicated hardware encryption keypad 200 are tightly fitted without displacement, thereby clamping the medical insurance dedicated hardware encryption keypad 200 located between the rigid clamp 120 and the clamping base 110.
[0023] Optionally, the clamping base 110 is a rectangular plate-shaped base, which is fixedly connected to the lower ends of four connecting screws 130. The lower ends of the four connecting screws 130 are located at the four corners of the clamping base 110, thus reserving sufficient space for clamping the medical insurance-specific hardware encryption keypad 200. The four connecting screws 130 also support the mounting frame 150 located above, ensuring the stability of the mounting frame 150. Alternatively, the rigid clamp 120 is a U-shaped plate-shaped clamp. The two arm plates of the rigid clamp 120 are fitted onto the two connecting screws 130 located on the front side. That is, the two arm plates of the rigid clamp 120 have through holes through which the connecting screws 130 pass, thereby fitting the rigid clamp 120 onto the connecting screws 130. The U-shaped plate-shaped clamp facilitates the clamping of the medical insurance-specific hardware encryption keypad 200. Alternatively, both the clamping base 110 and the rigid clamp 120 can be made of hard structural materials, such as metal, 3D printing materials, engineering plastics, etc., to adapt to different production and processing needs and ensure strong versatility.
[0024] Optionally, the mounting frame 150 includes: a fixing plate 151, a left side plate 152, a right side plate 153, and a front baffle 154; the left edge of the fixing plate 151 is fixedly connected to the rear edge of the left side plate 152, and the right edge of the fixing plate 151 is fixedly connected to the rear edge of the right side plate 153; the left edge of the front baffle 154 is fixedly connected to the front edge of the left side plate 152, and the right edge of the front baffle 154 is fixedly connected to the front edge of the right side plate 153. Alternatively, the mounting frame 150 is made of rigid structural materials, such as metal, 3D printing materials, engineering plastics, etc., to adapt to different production and processing needs and ensure strong versatility. Also optionally, the electromagnet 160, the relay 180, and the USB serial port chip 190 are all fixed on the fixing plate 151. Alternatively, the fixing plate 151 can be fixedly connected to the left side plate 152 and the right side plate 153, and the front baffle 154 can be fixedly connected to the left side plate 152 and the right side plate 153 by screws; the electromagnet 160, the relay 180 and the USB serial port chip 190 can also be fixedly connected to the fixing plate 151 by screws.
[0025] Electromagnet 160, relay 180, and USB serial port chip 190 are all fixed on mounting frame 150. Relay 180 is electrically connected between the output pin of USB serial port chip 190 and the electromagnetic coil of electromagnet 160. The upper end of pressing transmission rod 170 is fixed to the lower end of the moving iron core of electromagnet 160. The lower end of pressing transmission rod 170 is vertically aligned with the key on medical insurance dedicated hardware encryption keypad 200 to press the key on medical insurance dedicated hardware encryption keypad 200. The relay 180 amplifies the driving current supplied to electromagnet 160, thereby increasing the electromagnetic force of electromagnet 160, which in turn increases the pressing force of moving iron core of electromagnet 160 driving pressing transmission rod 170 to press the key on medical insurance dedicated hardware encryption keypad 200, improving the stability of operation in extreme environments. After pressing is completed, the return spring of electromagnet 160 drives the moving iron core of electromagnet 160 to reset, ready for the next key pressing operation.
[0026] Specifically, the input pins of the USB serial port chip 190 are used to electrically connect to the medical insurance settlement terminal, the output pins of the USB serial port chip 190 are electrically connected to the coil pins of the relay 180, and the contact pins of the relay 180 are electrically connected to the electromagnetic coil of the electromagnet 160. Optionally, the USB serial port chip 190 can be a commercially available general-purpose model such as CH340 / CP2102 / LCUS1, as these chips can all achieve operation based on trigger signal output control levels. Alternatively, the relay can be a miniature DC relay. Another option is that the pressing actuator 170 and the moving iron core of the electromagnet 160 are an integrated structure. Still optional, the pressing actuator 170 also passes through the guide hole of the electromagnet 160, which laterally restricts the pressing actuator 170, ensuring that it can perform purely vertical linear movement. This allows the lower end of the pressing actuator 170 to be vertically aligned with the keys on the medical insurance dedicated hardware encryption keypad 200, preventing key wear and accidental presses. Optionally, the guide hole for the electromagnet 160 is located at the lower part of the electromagnet's housing. Additionally, because the medical insurance-specific hardware encryption keypad 200 has a trigger threshold, its keys must be pressed down to a specified travel distance to recognize the key signal. Therefore, a rigid pressing head is provided at the lower end of the pressing transmission rod 170 to eliminate the self-compression caused by pressing, ensuring that the downward displacement is fully applied to the key, precisely aligning with the key's designed travel distance, and guaranteeing that each key press triggers an electrical signal. The rigid pressing head can be made of materials such as glass fiber reinforced nylon, polyoxymethylene, polycarbonate, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, rigid epoxy resin, or alumina ceramic.
[0027] Since the initial payment password for a personal medical insurance account is usually "000000", and people typically do not change this password, two electromagnets 160 and two relays 180 can be fixed to the mounting frame 150 to accommodate this situation. The first relay is electrically connected between the first output pin of the USB serial port chip 190 and the electromagnetic coil of the first electromagnet, and the second relay is electrically connected between the second output pin of the USB serial port chip 190 and the electromagnetic coil of the second electromagnet. The upper end of the first pressing transmission rod is fixed to the lower end of the moving iron core of the first electromagnet, and the lower end of the first pressing transmission rod is vertically aligned with the "0" key on the medical insurance dedicated hardware encryption password keyboard 200 for pressing the "0" key. The upper end of the second pressing transmission rod is fixed to the lower end of the moving iron core of the second electromagnet, and the lower end of the second pressing transmission rod is vertically aligned with the "Confirm" key on the medical insurance dedicated hardware encryption password keyboard 200 for pressing the "1" key (i.e., the Confirm key) on the medical insurance dedicated hardware encryption password keyboard 200. The two electromagnets 160 are controlled by two independent control levels output by the USB serial port chip 190, thereby realizing independent control of the two pressing actuators 170, ensuring that the pressing actions of the two pressing actuators 170 do not interfere with each other, and thus individually driving the corresponding button to complete the pressing operation.
[0028] When using this device, insert the medical insurance-specific hardware encryption keypad 200 between the rigid clamp 120 and the clamping base 110, and align the lower end of the pressing transmission rod 170 vertically with the keys of the medical insurance-specific hardware encryption keypad 200. Then move the rigid clamp 120 downward and rotate the adjusting nut 140 downward to clamp the medical insurance-specific hardware encryption keypad 200 between the rigid clamp 120 and the clamping base 110. After clamping, ensure that the medical insurance-specific hardware encryption keypad 200 does not wobble or shift. Then, electrically connect the USB serial port chip 190 to the medical insurance settlement terminal (for example, electrically connect the input pin of the USB serial port chip 190 to the USB interface and plug the USB interface into the medical insurance settlement terminal) to connect this device to the medical insurance settlement terminal.
[0029] The USB serial port chip 190 outputs a control level to the relay 180 based on the trigger signal from the medical insurance settlement terminal. This energizes the coil of the relay 180, connecting the power supply circuit of the electromagnet 160 and amplifying the drive current supplied to the electromagnet 160. Consequently, the moving iron core of the electromagnet 160 drives the pressing transmission rod 170 to press the keys (e.g., the "0" key or the "Confirm" key) on the medical insurance dedicated hardware encryption keypad 200. After the control level disappears, the coil of the relay 180 is de-energized and disconnects, cutting off the power supply circuit of the electromagnet 160. This causes the return spring of the electromagnet 160 to drive the moving iron core of the electromagnet 160 to spring back and reset, cyclically pressing the keys on the medical insurance dedicated hardware encryption keypad 200 to achieve automated input of the payment password.
[0030] Because the payment password is entered automatically using a purely physical contact pressing method, it avoids cracking the internal protocol of the medical insurance dedicated hardware encrypted password keyboard 200, and prevents tampering with or interception of the encrypted data of the medical insurance dedicated hardware encrypted password keyboard 200. It can meet strict industry compliance constraints, and enable the payment password pressing operation to maintain a high-frequency and stable operating state for a long time, avoiding the phenomenon of forced interruption of the automated process of medical insurance cost breakdown and settlement, thereby improving the overall efficiency of medical insurance cost breakdown and settlement. It can be widely used in the automation transformation scenarios of medical insurance cost breakdown and settlement in hospitals at all levels.
[0031] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this application is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that this application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this application. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this application is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this application. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0032] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
