Description

Cloud management of medical self-driving vehicles

This work is about a disinfection device, specifically a cloud-managed disinfection self-driving medical vehicle.

The main transmission routes of many respiratory diseases are through droplet transmission or contact transmission, including tuberculosis, COVID-19, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), etc. Although wearing a medical mask can prevent droplet transmission, the main way to avoid contact transmission is to wash hands frequently and avoid contact between hands, eyes, mouth and nose. Thorough cleaning and disinfection of the environment can solve most contact transmission situations.

Currently, cleaning personnel wearing protective gear are required to disinfect and sterilize infected environments. However, manual disinfection and sterilization poses the risk of transmitting the virus to cleaning personnel. Regular disinfection is required in crowded public places, which requires a large amount of manpower. Furthermore, human labor cannot determine which areas have higher pollution values and require in-depth disinfection, nor can it detect each area one by one to see if the disinfection has achieved the desired effect.

In view of this, this work proposes a cloud-managed medical self-driving car to effectively solve the above problems in order to address the above-mentioned deficiencies in knowledge and technology and future needs. The specific architecture and implementation methods are described in detail below:

This invention provides a cloud-managed fire-clearing medical self-propelled vehicle, wherein Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the cloud-managed fire-clearing medical self-propelled vehicle of this invention, Figure 2 is an enlarged schematic diagram of the nozzle in the cloud-managed fire-clearing medical self-propelled vehicle of this invention, and Figure 3 is a block diagram of the architecture of the cloud-managed fire-clearing medical self-propelled vehicle of this invention. The cloud-managed fire-clearing medical self-propelled vehicle 10 of this invention includes a mobile vehicle 12, a detector 14, a plurality of nozzles 16 and a telescopic bracket 18. Among them, the detector 14 and the telescopic bracket 18 are arranged on the mobile vehicle 12, and the nozzle 16 is arranged on the top of the telescopic bracket 18. A disinfectant container 124 is placed on the mobile carrier 12. The disinfectant container 124 contains a disinfectant liquid, such as alcohol, diluted bleach or any disinfectant. The disinfectant container 124 has a pipeline (not shown) connected to the nozzle 16 to transport the disinfectant liquid to the nozzle 16.

The nozzle 16 is used to spray the cleaning liquid. In the embodiment of the present invention, the nozzle 16 has a variety of spray modes, including mist spray, water drop spray and column spray. Each nozzle 16 is connected to an electric motor 164, and each electric motor 164 is connected to a nozzle controller 162. The nozzle controller 162 controls the electric motor 164 to drive the nozzle 16 to switch the spray mode.

The bottom of the telescopic bracket 18 is perpendicular to the plane of the mobile carrier 12. The telescopic bracket 18 uses a lifting controller 182 and a lifting actuator 184 to adjust the length, that is, to adjust the height of the nozzle 16. The lifting actuator 184 can be a motor or a hydraulic actuator, etc.

The detector 14 is connected to the nozzle controller 162 to scan the surrounding environment and detect the concentration value of an organic substance or an inorganic substance. The detector 14 also presets a set of control requirements, including a set value of the lower limit of the concentration value. The control requirements can be manually input into the detector 14 by the user, or remotely input from a cloud server 22. When the concentration value detected by the detector 14 is greater than the set value, it means that the pollution level of organic or inorganic substances in the environment needs to be cleared. At this time, the detector 14 issues a spraying instruction to the nozzle controller 162, and the spraying instruction includes a spraying mode. When the nozzle controller 162 receives the spray command, it controls the electric motor 164 to switch the spray mode of the nozzle 16 and spray according to the spray command. On the contrary, when the concentration value detected by the detector 14 is less than or equal to the set value, it means that the pollution level of organic or inorganic substances in the environment has dropped to a safe range. At this time, the detector 14 sends an end command to the nozzle controller 162. When the nozzle controller 162 receives the end command, it turns off the electric motor 164 to stop the nozzle 16 from spraying. The detector 14 also transmits the concentration value to the cloud server 22 for data analysis, and statistically analyzes the concentration of organic and inorganic substances in various areas in the environment. In one embodiment, the detector 14 transmits the detected concentration value to the cloud server 22 using wireless transmission.

The detector 14 is also connected to the lifting controller 182, and the lifting controller is connected to the lifting driver 184. When the concentration value detected by the detector 14 is greater than the set value, the spraying range of the nozzle 16 will also be detected. If the height of the nozzle 16 needs to be raised to make the area to be cleaned enter the spraying range, the detector 14 will send a lifting command to the lifting controller 182. The lifting controller 182 drives the lifting driver 184 according to the lifting command, and the lifting driver 184 controls the telescopic bracket 18 to rise or fall.

The mobile vehicle 12 is also provided with a navigation device 20, which includes a lidar 202 and a navigation controller 204. The lidar 202 is connected to the navigation controller 204, and the lidar 202 is used to perform a map scan of the surrounding environment and transmit the scanned image to the navigation controller 204. The navigation controller 204 generates a planned path according to the scanning result of the lidar 202. In addition, the planned path can also be set in the cloud server 22 and then transmitted to the navigation controller 204 for storage and execution. The navigation controller 204 can determine the position of the mobile vehicle 12 based on the scanning result of the lidar 202, compare the position of the mobile vehicle 12 with the points in the planned path, and then drive the mobile vehicle 12 to continue moving along the planned path.

The navigation controller 204 is connected to the detector 14. In one embodiment, the planned route includes a plurality of spraying points. When the mobile vehicle 12 reaches the spraying point, the navigation controller 204 stops driving the mobile vehicle 12 and notifies the detector 14 to scan the surrounding environment so that the nozzle 16 can spray at the fixed point. When the detector 14 detects that the concentration value is lower than the set value, the mobile vehicle 12 continues to move forward.

The bottom of the mobile vehicle 12 is provided with a plurality of moving parts 122, so that the mobile vehicle 12 can be moved. In one embodiment of the present invention, the moving parts 122 are universal wheels or McLennan wheels, so that the mobile vehicle 12 has the functions of multi-directional control and rotation in place, so that the cloud-managed disinfection medical self-propelled vehicle 10 can rotate in place and spray disinfection liquid in a 360-degree circular manner. The nozzle 16 at the top of the telescopic bracket 18 will not rotate, which can avoid the problem of the disinfection liquid pipeline being entangled or falling off due to the rotation of the nozzle 16.

In an example of a practical application of the cloud-managed medical self-driving car 10, the cloud-managed medical self-driving car 10 is first started, and then the control requirements are input, such as the setting values of the concentration of organic and inorganic substances detected by the detector 14. After the setting is completed, the navigation device 20 starts to scan the map and determines the route according to the planned path. At the same time, when the mobile vehicle 12 reaches the spraying point, the navigation controller 204 stops driving the mobile vehicle 12 and notifies the detector 14 to scan the surrounding environment to detect the concentration value of organic or inorganic substances. When the concentration value detected by the detector 14 is greater than the set value, the detector 14 sends a spray command to the nozzle controller 162. The nozzle controller 162 controls the electric motor 164 to switch the spray mode of the nozzle 16 and spray according to the spray command. In addition, the detector 14 will also determine whether the spray range of the nozzle 16 completely covers the range of the concentration value exceeding the set value. If not, the detector 14 will send a lifting command to the lifting controller 182. The lifting controller 182 drives the lifting driver 184 according to the lifting command to control the telescopic bracket 18 to rise or fall. When the concentration value detected by the detector 14 is less than or equal to the set value, an end command is issued to the nozzle controller 162. The nozzle controller 162 turns off the electric motor 164 according to the end command to stop the nozzle 16 from spraying. After completing the cleaning operation at this fixed point, the navigation device 20 activates the mobile vehicle 12 to move to a fixed point to allow the nozzle 16 to spray at the fixed point. The detector 14 also transmits the concentration value to the cloud server 22.

However, the above is only the best embodiment of this creation, and is not used to limit the scope of implementation of this creation. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications based on the characteristics and spirit described in the application scope of this creation should be included in the scope of the patent application of this creation.
