[0016] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, in one embodiment of the present invention, a gown 1 for a surgical support robot is applied to a surgical support robot 900, and can prevent the surgical support robot 900 from being damaged by splashing bodily fluids during surgery, and the gown 1 for a surgical support robot connects to a blockchain network 200. The surgical support robot 900 includes a scalpel 910 and a robot arm 920. The scalpel 910 is connected to the robot arm 920 to perform surgery on the affected area of the patient. The robot arm 920 is a precision machine with a moving function, and is used to move the scalpel 910 to a position suitable for surgery.
[0017] In one embodiment of the present invention, the gown 1 for the surgical support robot includes a waterproof gown 10, a chipset 20, a surgical time measurement module 30, a wireless module 40, and a battery 50. The waterproof gown 10 is made of a degradable material having waterproof and antibacterial effects such as thermoplastic urethane (TPU), but the material of the waterproof gown 10 is not limited to this. The waterproof gown 10 covers the robot arm 920 and exposes the scalpel 910 to the outside from the waterproof gown 10. The waterproof gown 10 includes a fastening opening 11, which is an opening where a constriction function is generated by providing an elastic band, for example, and the scalpel 910 is exposed to the outside from the fastening opening 11, and the fastening opening 11 can fasten the connection part of the scalpel 910 and the robot arm 920, thereby preventing the patient's body fluids from splashing onto the robot arm 920.
[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, the chipset 20 is provided in the waterproof gown 10 and includes a blockchain tracer 21 and an electronic tag 22. The blockchain tracer 21 is a computing chip that connects signals to the blockchain network 200 and is used to record data of surgery by the surgical support robot 900 in the blockchain network 200. In this way, the data of surgery by the surgical support robot 900 can be recorded and tracked through the traceability and tamper-resistant characteristics of the blockchain. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the data of surgery by the surgical support robot 900 includes the power-on time, the power-off time, the type of surgery, and patient information, but the type of data of the surgery is not limited to the above. In addition, the data of surgery by the surgical support robot 900 can also be input and recorded in the blockchain tracer 21 through the external computer 100, and then the data of surgery by the surgical support robot 900 can be recorded in the blockchain network 200 through the blockchain tracer 21. The electronic tag 22 records information about the gown 1 for a surgical support robot, such as the model number of the gown 1 for a surgical support robot, the expiration date of the waterproof gown 10, and the model number of the suitable surgical support robot 900, by using a radio frequency identification method. The information recorded in the electronic tag 22 can be inputted through an external computer 100. However, the information about the gown 1 for a surgical support robot is not limited to the above and can be changed according to design needs.
[0019] In one embodiment of the present invention, the surgery time measurement module 30 is provided in the waterproof gown 10 and is signal-connected to the chipset 20. The surgery time measurement module 30 is a chip equipped with a surgery time measurement function, and is used to measure the surgery time of the surgery support robot 900. The surgery time includes the start time of the surgery and the end time of the surgery. Through the surgery time measurement function of the surgery time measurement module 30, the detailed surgery time of the surgery support robot 900 can be confirmed.
[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, the wireless module 40 is, for example, a network chip, which is provided in the waterproof gown 10 and connects signals to the chipset 20, the surgery time measurement module 30, the external computer 100, and the surgery support robot 900. The wireless module 40 transmits information measured by the chipset 20 and the surgery time measurement module 30 to the external computer 100, so that a medical professional can understand the data of the gown 1 for a surgery support robot by operating the external computer 100.
[0021] In one embodiment of the present invention, the battery 50 is installed in the waterproof gown 10 and supplies power to the chipset 20, the surgical time measurement module 30 and the wireless module 40, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the chipset 20, the surgical time measurement module 30 and the wireless module 40.
[0022] 1 to 3, before surgery using a surgery support robot 900, a medical professional first puts a gown 1 for the surgery support robot on the surgery support robot 900, covers the robot arm 920 with a waterproof gown 10 that has waterproof and antibacterial properties, and exposes a scalpel 910 to the outside through a fastening opening 11 of the waterproof gown 10. The fastening opening 11 fastens one end of the scalpel 910 to prevent the patient's bodily fluids from splashing onto the robot arm 920, and thus prevents the robot arm 920 from being damaged by bodily fluids splashing during surgery.
[0023] Next, during surgery by the surgical support robot 900, the surgery time measurement module 30 is connected to the surgical support robot 900 via the wireless module 40 to measure the start time and end time of the surgery by the surgical support robot 900. Through the surgery time measurement function of the surgery time measurement module 30, the detailed elapsed time of the surgery by the surgical support robot 900 can be confirmed.
[0024] In addition, the medical staff can operate the external computer 100 to connect to the wireless module 40 and input information about the gown 1 for use in a surgical support robot, such as the model number of the gown 1 for use in a surgical support robot, the expiration date of the waterproof gown 10, and the model number of the suitable surgical support robot 900, into the electronic tag 22 by radio frequency identification. This allows the medical staff to quickly understand the relevant information about the gown 1 for use in a surgical support robot by reading the data recorded in the electronic tag 22 with a radio frequency identification reader in the future.
[0025] In addition, medical personnel can also operate the external computer 100 to input data of surgery performed by the surgical support robot 900 into the blockchain tracer 21, and then record the data of surgery performed by the surgical support robot 900 in the blockchain network 200 through the blockchain tracer 21. Through the function of the blockchain tracking event history, the power-on time, power-off time, surgery type, patient information, etc. of the data of surgery performed by the surgical support robot 900 can be recorded in the blockchain network 200. In this way, through the traceable and hard-to-improve characteristics of the blockchain, the event history of surgery performed by the surgical support robot 900 can be clearly recorded and managed. [Industrial Applicability]
[0026] The design of the gown 1 for the surgical robot of the present invention allows the gown 1 for the surgical robot to have multiple diverse and convenient functions, such as tracking the event history of the surgery performed by the surgical robot and recording the gown 1 for the surgical robot by radio frequency identification, making it easy for medical personnel to quickly read the data and check the detailed elapsed time of the surgery performed by the surgical robot, as well as preventing the surgical robot from being damaged by bodily fluids during surgery. In addition, the waterproof gown is made of degradable materials and can be decomposed by microorganisms in the natural environment, which has the effect of protecting the environment.
