Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current bedridden excretion handling systems require frequent manual intervention for water replenishment, wastewater disposal, and equipment inspection, leading to increased workload and fatigue for nursing staff, while also not fully addressing the issues of dirtiness and smelliness.
Innovation Solution
An intelligent multipoint bedridden excretion and automatic cleaning and water filling treatment system, comprising a robot, a main machine, a distributed bedridden care bed, and a fixedly installed excretion collection device, which includes a waste discharge mechanism and a waste collection mechanism, allowing for automated waste management and cleaning processes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If manual water replenishment and wastewater disposal are required, then the system can handle excretion, but the workload of nursing staff increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service through automatic water filling and cleaning functions. The main machine automatically detects water levels and replenishes water from the water tank, and automatically cleans the excretion collection device after excretion events, eliminating the need for manual intervention in these tasks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operations with automated systems. Sensors detect water levels and excretion events, triggering automatic pump operations for water transfer and cleaning, substituting human labor with automated mechanical and electronic systems.
2Reliability
If nursing staff must inspect each main machine periodically, then equipment status can be monitored, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback through sensors that continuously monitor water levels, excretion events, and equipment status. This information is automatically transmitted to the main machine and displayed on the screen, enabling real-time monitoring without manual inspection and allowing timely automated responses.
3Productivity
If the system requires manual water filling and wastewater emptying, then the structure can be simple, but the cleaning efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple functions into integrated components. The main machine combines water storage, pumping, cleaning, and control functions. The excretion collection device integrates with the cleaning system, allowing automated washing of collected excretion into the wastewater tank, improving cleaning efficiency while maintaining manageable system complexity.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The system significantly reduces the manual workload for nursing staff by automating excretion handling, cleaning, and water management, thereby alleviating the issues of dirtiness, fatigue, and smelliness associated with traditional systems.
Implementation Method 1
Through the magnetic attraction of the first electromagnetic block and the second electromagnetic block, the first connection pipe and the second connection pipe are connected
Implementation Method 2
a first booster pump fixedly installed within the main machine... a second booster pump fixedly installed within the robot
