具体实施方式
为使本发明实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本发明的各实 施方式进行详细的阐述。然而,本领域的普通技术人员可以理解,在本发明各实施方式中,为了使读者更好地理解本申请而提出了许多技术细节。但是,即使没有这些技术细节和基于以下各实施方式的种种变化和修改,也可以实现本申请所要求保护的技术方案。以下各个实施例的划分是为了描述方便,不应对本发明的具体实现方式构成任何限定,各个实施例在不矛盾的前提下可以相互结合相互引用。
在本发明公开的描述中,需要理解的是,术语“第一”、“第二”等仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性。此外,在本发明公开的描述中,除非另有说明,“多个”的含义是两个或两个以上。
本申请实施例中,如图1所示的分药机器人,包括:主轴11;以及,与主轴11连接的分药托盘12,分药托盘12设有一纵向通孔(图1未示出);以及,设置在分药托盘12下方的取药杯13和至少一个储药杯14;其中,分药托盘12下方设置有与储药杯14配套的盖子30。

在一个实施例中,如图4所示,分药机器人还包括:与所述控制模块连接的拍摄模块16;拍摄模块16的拍摄区域包括分药托盘12所在区域。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,控制模块可以设置在主轴内部,也可以设置在其他位置,控制模块可以接收拍摄模块16拍摄的图像,并通过控制第一动力模块,控制拨药杆15即可,本实施例不限制控制模块的设置位置。
需要说明的是,图4中以拍摄模块16悬挂在用于分药机器人的外壳21为例,对分药机器人的结构进行举例说明,实际应用中,拍摄模块16还可以设置在其他位置,例如,设置在主轴顶端,本实施例仅为举例说明,并不限制拍摄模块16的安装位置。
值得一提的是,分药机器人中安装有拍摄模块16,拍摄模块16用于拍摄分药托盘12所在区域,控制模块与拍摄模块16连接,使得控制模块可以通过拍摄模块16获取分药托盘12的图像,并基于图像获知分药托盘12上方的药品分布情况。控制模块根据药品分布情况,控制拨药杆15拨出指定数量的药品至取药杯,以便用户服用药品。相对于将药品倒出后用户用手取指定数量的药品,通过分药机器人来获取指定数量的药品,为因为疾病的原因自己不具备准确取出一定数量的药物的能力的用户提供分药服务避免了人工操作出错的可能性。另外,通过分药机器人来获取指定数量的药品,对本次不服用药品的污染更小,提高了药品的安全性。
在一个实施例中,如图5所示,分药机器人还包括:与主轴11连接的旋转托盘17,旋转托盘17设置在分药托盘12下方,取药杯13设置在旋转托盘17上;以及,设置在旋转托盘17上的至少一个储药杯14,储药杯14包括储药杯杯壁141和储药杯活动杯底142,储药杯活动杯底142位于储药杯杯壁141内;以及,与旋转托盘17连接的用于控制旋转托盘17旋转的第二动力模块(图5未示出);以及,与储药杯活动杯底142连接的第一推杆18;以及,与第一推杆18连接的第三动力模块(图5未示出)。具体地,分药托盘12下方设置有旋转托盘17,用于放置储药杯14和取药杯13。旋转托盘17与分药托盘12基本平行。控制模块通过第二动力模块控制旋转托盘17旋转。储药杯14放置在第一推杆18上方,第一推杆18推动储药杯14的储药杯活动杯底142,以将药品推至分药托盘12上方。在需要取出待分配的药品时,控制模块控制旋转托盘17旋转至第二预设位置,以使储药杯14位于纵向通孔121下方。控制模块通过第三动力模块控制第一推杆18推动储药杯14,使药品高于分药托盘12平面,以便拨药杆15拨取药品。在需要送出药品时,控制模块控制旋转托盘17旋 转至第三预设位置,以使取药杯13位于纵向通孔121下方,拨药杆15将药品拨至第一预设位置,使得药品落至取药杯13内,其中,第一预设位置为纵向通孔所在位置。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,为阐述清楚,本实施例以控制储药杯14和取药杯13整体旋转为例进行说明,实际应用中,也可以控制储药杯14和取药杯13分别旋转,例如,一个或多个储药杯14和取药杯13分别与独立的旋转支架相连接,第二动力模块通过控制各个独立的旋转支架,单独控制各的储药杯14或取药杯13旋转,本实施例不做限制。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,储药杯14还可以通过其他方式设置在其他位置。例如,通过挂杆将储药杯14悬挂至分药托盘12上方。具体地,分药机器人还包括外壳,挂杆一端固定在外壳上,另一端与储药杯14底部的斜杆连接。在需要取药时,通过控制斜杆的倾斜角度,将药品倒至分药托盘12上。本领域技术人员还可以采用其他方式设置储药杯14,此处不一一赘述。
需要说明的是,图5中以一个储药杯为例,对分药机器人的结构进行举例说明,实际应用中,分药机器人内可以设置多个储药杯,处理模块中存储有各储药杯的位置信息,以及储药杯中的药品的种类,当需要分药时,根据当前需要取出的药品的种类,确定存储当前需要取出的药品的储药杯的位置信息,通过控制旋转托盘旋转,将该储药杯旋转至纵向通孔下方。
值得一提的是,考虑到用户要服用多种药品的时候,人工的操作的复杂度呈线性增长,出错的概率随之升高,为分药装置设置多个储药杯,可以将患者一次所需要服用的所有药品都取至储药杯,为因为疾病的原因自己无法准确取出一定数量的药物的患者提供分药服务,避免了人工操作出错的可能性。
以下对图5中的第一推杆18的结构进行举例说明。
在一个实施例中,如图6所示,第一推杆18包括第一推杆分支181和第二推杆分支182,第一推杆分支181和第二推杆分支182连接,第二推杆分支182连接至主轴。第一推杆分支181和第二推杆分支182呈L型。
可选择的,如图7所示,第一推杆18还包括第一推杆托,第一推杆分支181的一端与第一推杆托183表面连接。
在一个例子中,为使得第一推杆具有推动作用,第一推杆分支181包括套筒和设置在套筒内部的活动杆,活动杆的一端与第一推杆托183连接,活动杆的另一端与第三动力模块连接。第三动力模块通过控制活动杆在套筒内部上下移动,以使第一推杆托183上下移动,以 推动储药杯。
在另一个例子中,为使得第一推杆具有推动作用,主轴11上设有纵向开口,第三动力模块设置在主轴11内,第二推杆分支182穿过纵向开口与第三动力模块连接。由于主轴11上设有纵向开口,使得第二推杆分支182可以上下移动。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,还可以通过其他方式实现第一推杆的推动作用,本实施例不一一列举。
以下对第一推杆18与储药杯的连接方式进行举例说明。
在一个例子中,如图8a,通过电磁铁实现储药杯14和第一推杆18的连接。具体地,储药杯14包括储药杯杯壁141、储药杯活动杯底142和储药杯固定杯底143,储药杯固定杯底143与储药杯杯壁141连接,且位于储药杯活动杯底142下方,用于避免储药杯活动杯底142掉落。储药杯固定杯底143中间设有纵向通孔,以便第一推杆18穿过储药杯固定杯底143连接。储药杯14的储药杯活动杯底142由能够被磁力吸引的材料做成,例如,金属等。第一推杆18上面的第一推杆托183为电磁铁装置,第一推杆托183和储药杯活动杯底142形成一个耦合装置,这个耦合装置保证储药杯14被放在固定位置。如图8b和图8c所示,电磁铁通电,第一推杆18和储药杯活动杯底142吸在一起,第一推杆18可以推或者拉储药杯活动杯底142。当需要把储药杯14拿出来的时候,电磁铁断电。
在另一个例子中,储药杯活动杯底142设有第一滑轨174,如图9a所示。第一推杆托183上设有第二滑轨184,如图9b所示。第一滑轨174与第二滑轨184匹配,实现耦合。其中,储药杯14的结构图8a-图8c类似,不同在于,储药杯活动杯底142的材料可以是任意材料。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,储药杯活动杯底142和第一推杆18还可以采用其他连接方式,储药杯14可以从第一推杆托183取下,且,第一推杆18和储药杯活动杯底142连接后可以实现推动和拉动即可,本实施例不限制储药杯活动杯底142和第一推杆18的连接方式。
可选择的,为进一步保证储药杯14放置在指定位置,可以在第一推杆18和储药杯活动杯底142上安装一套定位装置,在检测到定位装置被激活后,执行分药等后续操作。
在一个实施例中,如图10所示,取药杯13包括取药杯杯壁151和取药杯活动杯底152,取药杯活动杯底152位于取药杯杯壁151内;分药机器人还包括:与取药杯活动杯底152连接的第二推杆19;以及,与第二推杆19连接的第五动力模块(未示出)。其中,第二推杆19和取药杯13之间的连接方式可参考储药杯14和第一推杆18的连接方式,此处不再 详述取药杯13与第二推杆19的连接方式。
值得一提的是,若通过电磁铁固定取药杯13,使得分药机器人可以根据用户的服药时间,控制电磁铁的通断电,以避免药品误服。具体地,在用户的服药时间,电磁铁断电,以便用户拿起取药杯13,以来防止服药者在不该服药的时候,拿起取药杯13,导致误服药。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,本实施例中给出的储药杯14或取药杯13为圆形杯体,实际中,也可以以设计成其他的形状,比如,扇形杯子的设计。若将多个储药杯14设置为同弧长的扇形杯体,多个储药杯14的圆点重合构成圆形,或者,将多个取药杯13设置为同弧长的扇形杯体,多个取药杯13的圆点重合构成圆形,可以更加充分的利用空间。
在一个实施例中,在图10所示的分药机器人的基础上,分药机器人还包括:设置在旋转托盘17上方的废药杯。当用户未按时服药时,避免本次分取的药品被滞留在取药杯13,导致下次误服,分药机器人控制第二推杆19将取药杯活动杯底向上推,取药杯13内的药品穿过纵向通孔121,以便拨药杆15将取药杯13中的药品拨出。分药机器人控制第二推杆19将取药杯13活动杯底拉回至取药杯杯壁的底端。分药机器人控制旋转托盘17旋转至第四预设位置,使得废药杯位于纵向通孔121下方,控制拨药杆15将从取药杯13拨出的药品拨至纵向通孔121,以使药品掉至废药杯。
在一个实施例中,分药机器人还包括:与旋转托盘17连接的用于控制旋转托盘17升降的第四动力模块。在分药机器人内设置控制旋转托盘17设置第四动力模块,在需要旋转该旋转托盘17时,降低旋转托盘17的位置,减少旋转托盘17旋转时分药托盘12与储药杯14和取药杯13之间的摩擦,延迟分药托盘12、储药杯14和取药杯13的使用期,降低维护成本。本实施例中,为阐述清楚,将旋转托盘能到达的最高位置称为上位或者分药位,旋转托盘能够到达的最低位置称为下位或者旋转位。
在一个实施例中,分药托盘12下方设置有与储药杯14配套的盖子或塞子;或者,分药托盘12的下表层为柔性层。通过在分药托盘12下方设置盖子或塞子,在无需分药的时候,控制模块通过第二动力模块控制旋转托盘17旋转至第五预设位置,通过第四动力模块将旋转托盘17上升至第六预设位置。当旋转托盘17位于第六预设位置时,储药杯14抵住盖子或塞子。通过盖子或塞子,可以减少储药杯14内部空气和外部空气的流动,保持储药杯14内密封性和干燥性。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,还可以通过其他措施提高药品所处环境的干燥性,例如,在分药机器人内部(如旋转托盘17上)设置干燥模块,干燥模块用于放置干燥剂。又如,分药机器人还设置有一个仓门,储药杯和取药杯从该仓门处取出和放入;或者,分药机器人针对每个放置储药杯和取药杯的位置分别设置一个仓门。仓门采用双重门的设计,外门打开的时候,内门保持封闭,这样放药和取药的时候和外界的空气交换是有限的。
在一个实施例中,如图11所示,分药机器人还包括:环形栏板122,环形栏板122设置在分药托盘12上方的环形栏板,且,环形栏板122的圆心与主轴11重合;拨药杆15靠近分药托盘12的一侧上设有一横向通孔,环形栏板122穿过该横向通孔。
具体地,分药托盘12上设有环形栏板122。可选择的,在俯视的情况下,环形栏板122和分药托盘12为两个同心圆。这两个同心圆划分出图11中的分药工作区123。分药工作区123是指拨药杆15来进行分药的工作区域。通过环形栏板121把药品限定在分药工作区123内。其中,分药工作区123可分为两个区域,A区和B区。A区为纵向通孔121所在区域,即药品出口。B区是分药工作区123中除A区以外的区域。由于分药工作区123的内缘光滑,没有拨药杆15无法触及的死角,可以避免本次分药的药品残留在分药工作区123,进而被误识别为下次分药的药品分配给病人,造成病人误食的情况。
可选择的,横向通孔位于后拨杆。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,环形栏板还可以采用其他设置方式,例如,所述分药托盘上设有一环形滑轨,所述环形栏板与所述环形滑轨连接,以便所述环形栏板沿所述环形滑轨旋转;所述环形栏板上有一开口,所述拨药杆设置在所述开口内。其中,开口尺寸与所述拨药杆相匹配,以避免药品穿过该开口到达环形栏板内部。本实施例不限制环形栏板的设置方式。
在一个实施例中,如图12a所示,拨药杆15包括:与第一动力模块连接的主关节151;以及,与主关节151连接的后拨杆152;以及,与后拨杆152连接的辅关节153;以及,与辅关节153连接的前拨杆154;其中,主关节151带动后拨杆152、辅关节153和前拨杆154整体旋转,辅关节153带动前拨杆154旋转。后拨杆152通过主关节151连接在主轴11上。
可选择的,与主关节151连接的第一动力模块的最小化设计可以是一个可以带动主关节151转动的伺服电机和齿轮组。主关节151为与第一动力模块的齿轮组匹配的齿轮,并在第 一动力模块的齿轮组的带动下旋转。
可选择的,辅关节153的最小化设计满足前拨杆154可以以辅关节153为圆心转动即可。
例如,如图12a所示,辅关节153包括转轴,即前拨杆154和后拨杆152用转轴连接。为使得前拨杆旋转,拨药杆15还包括弹力绳,前拨杆154和后拨杆152为中空结构。弹力绳穿过前拨杆154,弹力绳在前拨杆154和后拨杆152平行的状态下拉力处于伸直但没有张力的状态,如图12a所示。弹力绳和伺服电机连接,伺服电机通过转动拉动弹力绳子,在张力的带动下,前拨杆154会绕着后拨杆152转动,如图12b所示。伺服电机反向旋转,弹力绳松开,弹力绳的张力释放让前拨杆154和后拨杆152回到一条直线的状态。通过该方式,可以节约副关节的伺服电机,节省成本。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,拨药杆15也可以采用其他设计,例如,在主轴设置用于控制辅关节153的伺服电机,通过用于控制主关节151的伺服电机和用于控制辅关节153的伺服电机,控制拨药杆15,本实施例仅为举例说明。
在一个实施例中,如图13所示,前拨杆154靠近分药托盘12一侧呈锯齿状。具体地,考虑到体积小的药品之间的距离可能过小,以至于前拨杆也很难准确的插入药品之间,本实施例中,前拨杆154靠近分药托盘一侧做锯齿形设计。这使得体积小的药品可以被锯齿分开,便于前拨杆准确插入药品。
可选择的,药品的直径<锯齿间距d<药品的直径*2。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,前拨杆154还可以采用其他设计,本实施例不做限制。
在一个实施例中,如图13所示,前拨杆的远离辅关节的一侧呈尖角状。具体地,前拨杆的头部部分,称为拨杆头。为了提高拨杆头分出药品的速度,可以将拨杆头做的比较细,以便拨杆头插入药品中。
以下对控制模块进行举例说明。
在一个实施例中,控制模块包括具有处理能力的处理子模块,拍摄模块与处理子模块连接。分药机器人通过处理子模块对拍摄模块拍摄的图像或其他数据进行处理,基于处理结果控制分药机器人内的各结构配合完成分药等操作。
在另一个实施例中,控制模块包括处理子模块和通信子模块,拍摄模块与通信子模块连接,通信子模块与云端、终端或边缘服务器连接。具体地,分药机器人执行分药等操作的相 关程序存储在云端、终端或边缘服务器,或者,根据需要分配在云端、边缘服务器和终端。分药机器人通过通信子模块将拍摄模块拍摄的图像发送至云端、终端或边缘服务器,云端、终端或边缘服务器对图像进行分析,生成各控制指令。通信子模块接收各控制指令,并将通信子模块传输给处理子模块,以便处理子模块基于控制指令控制分药机器人内的各结构配合完成分药等操作。其中,通信子模块包括但不限于蓝牙、ZigBee、WiFi、LoRa、GSM、3G、4G、5G等。
在一个实施例中,拍摄模块包括一个或多个摄像头。一个或多个摄像头的拍摄的图像可以看到分药工作区内药品的情况。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,摄像头的数量和安装位置可以根据分药机器人的尺寸等确定,此处不做限制。
在一个实施例中,如图14所示,分药机器人还包括光源20,光源20可以固定在外壳21上。由于分药机器人中设置有光源20,提高了分药托盘的环境亮度,使得拍摄模块拍摄的图像更为清晰。
需要说明的是,图14以光源20固定在外壳21上为例,举例说明了光源20的位置,实际中,光源20还可以设置在主轴顶端等其他位置,可以提高分药工作区的环境亮度即可,本实施例不起限定作用。
在一个实施例中,分药机器人还包括:与控制模块连接的提醒模块,以供提醒服药。具体地,由于医疗卫生事业的发展让很多疾病得以治疗或控制,大大地提高了人类的健康水平,延长了人类的寿命。很多原来难以治愈的疾病都变成了需要长期治疗的慢性病。在长期服药的过程中,不能按时服药的问题凸显。同时,人类服用的药品和保健品的种类变得越来越多,因此,又产生不能把所需要服用的药正确完整的服用问题。服药依从性是指患者服用药与医嘱一致的行为。世界卫生组织的报告显示,世界上有50%的人不依从,造成巨大的损失。比如,造成疗效未达预期,病程延长;医生错误判断疗效,增加用药量或者换药;毒副反应风险提高;患者付出大笔额外开支;浪费社会宝贵医疗资源等等。美国每人每年因为不依从导致2100美元的额外医疗支出。心血管疾病方面每年造成3000亿美元的额外支出。每年因为不依从造成12.5万人的死亡。全球药企每年因为不依从产生6000亿美元的损失。服药出问题的原因多种多样,其中,70%的原因都是和服药者的行为因素相关。针对不同的人,这些行为因素区别也很大。以年龄不同来举例,对老年人来说大部分原因是遗忘,对中 青年人来说大部分原因是工作繁忙,对儿童来说大部分原因是监护人失职或者儿童的不成熟等等。因此,更加广泛地服药管理包括服药提醒、用法用量提示、合理用药、患教、随访、咨询指导等一系列的服务以达到提高依从性,提高疗效的目的,是治疗中非常重要的最后一公里。针对这些问题,本实施例中,分药机器人能够自动把每一顿要吃的药品分好,提醒服药,获知用户是否服药,甚至接入治疗。将该分药机器人放在服药者身边,像一个居家的照护人员一样,提高服药者的依从性,防止用药风险。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,分药机器人依托于分药和提醒服药的能力,还可以提供其他医疗健康相关的服务,比如用药指导、膳食管理、生活方式管理、随访、患教、远程问诊、健康管理服务推荐、续方等等,本实施例不一一列举。
在一个例子中,提醒模块可以是指示灯、显示屏、语音播放器等,以便分药机器人通过灯光、图片、声音、视频等方式提醒用户服药。
需要说明的是,提醒模块还可以通过其他方式提醒用户。例如,提醒模块为通信模块,通信模块与用户的终端建立通信连接,通过向用户的终端推送信息、发送短信、拨打电话、视频等方式提醒。又如,通信模块与第三方(如医疗照护服务提供方)通信连接,由第三方提醒用户,以便第三方跟进用户服药情况。本实施例仅为举例说明,对提醒模块的体现方式不做限制。
在一个例子中,分药机器人先执行分药操作,再执行提醒操作。先完成分药操作在提醒用户服药,用户无需等待分药机器人完成分药操作。
在另一个例子中,分药机器人先执行提醒操作,在通过摄像头或红外感测器等设备,确定用户前来服药后,再执行分药操作。在确定用户来服药后再分药,可以减少分药后药品无人服用的情况。
在一个实施例中,如图15所示,第一动力模块31、第二动力模块32、第三动力模块33、第四动力模块34和第五动力模块35均设置在主轴上。例如,第一动力模块31包括第一伺服电机和第一齿轮组,第一齿轮组与主关节连接,第一伺服电机带动第一齿轮组旋转,第一齿轮组带动主关节旋转,以使得拨药杆旋转。第二动力模块32包括第二伺服电机,第二伺服电机带动旋转托盘旋转。第三动力模块33包括第三伺服电机、第三齿轮组和第一离合器,其中,第三伺服电机连接第一离合器,第一离合器连接第三齿轮组中的各个齿轮。第四动力模块34包括第四伺服电机和第四齿轮组,第四伺服电机带动第四齿轮组转动,第四齿轮组和旋转托盘连接,控制旋转托盘上下移动。第五动力模块35包括第五伺服电机、第五齿轮组和第二离合器,第五伺服电机连接第二离合器,第二离合器连接第五齿轮组中的各 个齿轮。其中,各齿轮组可以包括圆齿轮和线性齿轮,伺服电机带动圆齿轮,圆齿轮带动线性齿轮,以带动线性齿轮连接的设备上下移动。
在一个实施例中,分药机器人还可以配备测量心率检测模块、体温检测模块、血压检测模块、血糖检测模块等设备,提供更多的健康和治疗的服务。
以上各实施例可以相互结合相互引用,例如下面是各实施例结合后的例子,然并不以此为限;各实施例在不矛盾的前提下可以任意结合成为一个新的实施例。
值得一提的是,上述实施例中所涉及到的各模块均为逻辑模块,在实际应用中,一个逻辑单元可以是一个物理单元,也可以是一个物理单元的一部分,还可以以多个物理单元的组合实现。此外,为了突出本发明的创新部分,上述实施例中并没有将与解决本发明所提出的技术问题关系不太密切的单元引入,但这并不表明上述实施例中不存在其它的单元。
本申请还提供了一种视觉分药方法,该视觉分药方法基于分药机器人的视觉系统。其中,视觉系统包括拍摄模块和视觉算法(如图像识别算法等),其中,视觉算法可以设置在控制模块内,也可以设置在云端、终端或边缘服务器。以下以分药机器人执行视觉分药方法为例,对视觉分药方法进行举例说明。如图16所示,分药机器人执行的视觉分药方法包括以下步骤。
步骤101:获取药品的目标数量。
具体地,在首次分药时,分药机器人可以基于用户的服药计划,确定用户需要服用的药品数量,将需要的药品数量作为药品的目标数量;或者,分药机器人将用户输入的需要服用的药品数量,作为药品的目标数量。在首次分药后,分药机器人根据用户需要服用的药品数量,以及每次掉至取药杯的药品的数量,计算目标数量。
以下对分药机器人获取服药计划的方式进行举例说明。
服药计划包括服用什么药品、药品的用法用量、服用时间等。服药计划可以由用户输入分药机器人,也可以由用户的医疗服务或者健康服务提供方在云端主动发送至分药机器人或与分药机器人连接的云端,还可以由分药机器人或云端向用户的医疗服务或者健康服务提供方发送请求,用户的医疗服务或者健康服务提供方在接收到请求后发送至分药机器人或云端。
在一个例子中,用户将服药计划输入分药机器人的方式包括但不限于:
方式1:用户将药瓶上(可以在药瓶的任何地方)的标识码放在分药机器人的外置摄像头的拍摄区域。分药机器人的外置摄像头扫描贴在药瓶上(可以在药瓶的任何地方)的标识 码,以获取服药计划。其中,外置摄像头是指拍摄区域位于分药机器人外部的摄像头。标识码可以是二维码、条形码等。
方式2:用户将记录服药计划的纸质材料放在分药机器人的外置摄像头的拍摄区域。分药机器人使用OCR(Optical Character Recognition,光学字符识别)技术识别纸质材料上的服药计划。
方式3:用户通过语言或者键盘和分药机器人进行交互,将服药计划输入分药机器人。
方式4:用户将服药计划输入终端,终端将服药计划传输至分药机器人,或者终端将服药计划传输至云端,云端将服药计划下发给分药机器人。
步骤102:将分药机器人的储药杯内的药品拨至分药机器人的分药托盘。
具体地,用户或者用户的照护人将每种需要服用的药品(或保健品)分别独立地装入分药机器人的储药杯。
以下对分药机器人将药品移至分药托盘的方式进行举例说明。
在一个例子中,分药机器人包括:主轴;以及,与主轴连接的分药托盘,分药托盘设有一纵向通孔;以及,设置在分药托盘上方的与主轴连接的拨药杆;以及,与拨药杆连接的第一动力模块;以及,与第一动力模块连接的控制模块;以及,与控制模块连接的拍摄模块;拍摄模块的拍摄区域包括分药托盘所在区域;以及,设置在分药托盘下方的取药杯;以及,与主轴连接的旋转托盘,旋转托盘设置在分药托盘下方,取药杯设置在旋转托盘上;以及,设置在旋转托盘上的至少一个储药杯,储药杯包括储药杯杯壁和储药杯活动杯底,储药杯活动杯底位于储药杯杯壁内;以及,与旋转托盘连接的用于控制旋转托盘旋转的第二动力模块;以及,与储药杯活动杯底连接的第一推杆;以及,与第一推杆连接的第三动力模块。分药机器人控制拨药杆转动,将储药杯取出的药品中拨出药品至分药托盘。
在另一个例子中,分药机器人包括:主轴;以及,与主轴连接的分药托盘,分药托盘设有一纵向通孔;以及,设置在分药托盘上方的与主轴连接的拨药杆;以及,与拨药杆连接的第一动力模块;以及,与第一动力模块连接的控制模块;以及,与控制模块连接的拍摄模块;拍摄模块的拍摄区域包括分药托盘所在区域;以及,设置在分药托盘下方的取药杯;以及,外壳;以及,挂杆和储药杯,挂杆的一端固定在外壳上,另一端与储药杯底部的斜杆连接的挂杆。在需要取药时,分药机器人的控制模块控制斜杆的倾斜角度,将药品倒至分药托盘12上。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,实际应用中,还可以采用其他方式获取储药杯中的药品,本实施例不一一列举。
步骤103:基于拍摄模块拍摄的图像,识别拨出的药品的数量。
步骤104:判断拨出的药品的数量是否小于等于目标数量。
具体地,若确定拨出的药品的数量小于等于目标数量,执行步骤105,否则,执行步骤107。
步骤105:控制分药机器人的拨药杆将拨出的药品拨至第一预设位置。其中,第一预设位置为纵向通孔所在位置。
步骤106:判断拨出的药品的数量是否等于目标数量。
具体地,若确定拨出的药品的数量等于目标数量,结束分药过程,若确定拨出的药品的数量不等于目标数量,返回执行步骤101。即如果拨药杆拨出的药品的数量正好等于目标数量,分药机器人控制拨药杆继续旋转,直至把药品全部推入取药杯。如果分出来药品的数量小于目标数量,分药机器人控制拨药杆继续旋转,直至把药品推入取药杯。分药机器人继续下一次分药过程。在下一次分药过程中,分药机器人执行获取药品的目标数量时,获取药品的目标数量=用户需要服用的药品数量-每次划至取药杯的药品的数量的和;或者,药品的目标数量=前一次的分药过程中的目标数量-前一次分药过程中划至取药杯的药品的数量。
步骤107:基于拍摄模块拍摄的图像,控制拨药杆的前拨杆和后拨杆移动,从分药托盘上划取药品。之后执行步骤105。
通过上述操作,分药机器人可以通过控制拨药杆,将用户需要服用的数量的药品拨至取药杯,以实现自动分药。
可选择的,视觉分药方法还包括:发送提醒信息,提醒信息用于提醒服药。
可选择的,视觉分药方法还包括:判断取药杯内是否为情况状态,若确定是,记录本次的服药记录,以便记录并统计用户的药品服用情况。服药记录可以包括本次服用药品的时间、服药的药品的类型和服用的药品的数量。
可选择的,将本次的服药记录服药上传至云端,以便云端对用户的药品服用情况进行记录并统计。
在一个实施例中,如图17所示,分药机器人执行的视觉分药方法包括以下步骤。其中,步骤201、步骤207、步骤208、步骤209至步骤211分别与图16所示的步骤101、步骤103、步骤104、步骤106和步骤107大致相同,相同之处此处不再赘述,下面主要介绍不同之处。
步骤201:获取药品的目标数量。
步骤202:控制分药机器人的旋转托盘旋转至第二预设位置,控制分药机器人的第一推 杆推动储药杯的储药杯活动杯底向上移动。
具体地,旋转托盘位于第二预设位置时,分药机器人的储药杯位于所述纵向通孔下方。
可选择的,在控制第一推杆推动储药杯活动杯底向上移动之前,分药机器人确定旋转托盘位于旋转位,控制旋转托盘旋转至第二预设位置,旋转托盘旋转至第二预设位置时,储药杯位于纵向通孔下方,如图18a所示。当旋转托盘位于第二预设位置时,存放所需药品的储药杯位于纵向通孔下方。分药机器人控制旋转托盘上升至分药位,如图18b所示。分药机器人控制第一推杆推动储药杯活动杯底向上移动,使得储药杯中的药品穿过纵向通孔到达分药托盘上方,如图18c所示。
可选择的,分药机器人控制第一推杆推动储药杯活动杯底向上移动,包括:根据目标数量,确定第一移动距离;控制第一推杆推动活动杯底向上移动第一移动距离。具体地,储药杯活动杯底上升高度过低时,拨药杆拨出的药品太少,不够所需药品的数量;储药杯活动杯底上升高度过高,拨药杆拨出来的药品太多,增大拨药杆拨出目标数量的药品的难度。因此,储药杯活动杯底上升过高或过低,会影响分药效率。为提高分药效率,控制模块根据获取的目标数量,控制储药杯活动杯底上升的高度来控制拨出的药品的多少,避免拨出过多或过少的药品。
以下对根据目标数量,确定第一移动距离的方式进行举例说明。
在第一个例子中,分药机器人根据目标数量,以及目标数量和第一移动距离的第一约束关系,计算第一移动距离。可选择的,分药机器人基于研发人员初始设定的第一约束关系,以及后续的拨药过程,不断调整的第一约束关系,以提高第一约束关系的准确性。
例如,分药机器人在判断拨出的药品的数量是否小于等于目标数量之后,根据判断结果,调整第一约束关系中的参数。具体地,判断结果指示拨出的药品的数量和目标数量的大小关系。若拨出的药品的数量大于目标数量,调整第一约束关系中的参数,使得针对同一目标数量,基于调整后的第一约束关系计算的第一移动距离小于基于调整前的第一约束关系计算的第一移动距离。若拨出的药品的数量等于目标数量,不调整第一约束关系。若拨出的药品的数量小于目标和数量,调整第一约束关系中的参数,使得针对同一目标数量,基于调整后的第一约束关系计算的第一移动距离大于基于调整前的第一约束关系计算的第一移动距离。
又如,分药机器人在判断拨出的药品的数量是否小于等于目标数量之后,计算拨出的药品的数量和目标数量的差值,根据计算的差值,调整第一约束关系中的参数。若差值大于0,针对同一目标数量,基于调整后的第一约束关系计算的第一移动距离小于基于调整前的 第一约束关系计算的第一移动距离。若差值等于0,不调整第一约束关系。若差值小于0,调整第一约束关系中的参数,使得针对同一目标数量,基于调整后的第一约束关系计算的第一移动距离大于基于调整前的第一约束关系计算的第一移动距离。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,第一约束关系可以是研发人员预先设置的固定的约束关系,本实施例不做限制。
在第二个例子中,分药机器人根据目标数量、药品的信息,以及目标数量、药品信息和第一移动距离的第二约束关系,确定第一移动距离。具体地,药品的信息包括药品的体积等信息。由于不同的药品的体积等不同,对于不同药品,要获取相同目标数量时,需要高出分药托盘的药品高度不同,即第一移动距离不同。因此,分药机器人中可以预先存储第一移动距离,分药机器人根据目标数量、药品信息和第二约束关系,计算第一移动距离。
例如,分药机器人在判断拨出的药品的数量是否小于等于目标数量之后,根据判断结果,调整第二约束关系中的参数。具体地,判断结果指示拨出的药品的数量和目标数量的大小关系。若拨出的药品的数量大于目标数量,调整第二约束关系中的参数,使得针对同一目标数量,基于调整后的第二约束关系计算的第一移动距离小于基于调整前的第二约束关系计算的第一移动距离。若拨出的药品的数量等于目标数量,不调整第二约束关系。若拨出的药品的数量小于目标和数量,调整第二约束关系中的参数,使得针对同一目标数量,基于调整后的第二约束关系计算的第一移动距离大于基于调整前的第二约束关系计算的第一移动距离。
又如,分药机器人在判断拨出的药品的数量是否小于等于目标数量之后,计算拨出的药品的数量和目标数量的差值,根据计算的差值,调整第二约束关系中的参数。若差值大于0,针对同一目标数量,基于调整后的第二约束关系计算的第一移动距离小于基于调整前的第二约束关系计算的第一移动距离。若差值等于0,不调整第二约束关系。若差值小于0,调整第二约束关系中的参数,使得针对同一目标数量,基于调整后的第二约束关系计算的第一移动距离大于基于调整前的第二约束关系计算的第一移动距离。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,第二约束关系可以是研发人员预先设置的固定的约束关系,本实施例不做限制。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,分药机器人还可以基于其他方式计算第一移动距离,此处不一一赘述。
步骤203:控制拨药杆沿第一方向转动。
具体地,如图19a-图19d所示,分药机器人通过控制主关节,带动后拨杆、辅关节和后 拨杆转动,以从储药杯拨出一定数量的药品至分药工作区的B区。
可选择的,拨药杆旋转时,拨药杆的起点位于A区的一侧,以确保拨药杆扫过整个A区。拨药杆整体成一条直线沿第一方向旋转。拨药杆从分药工作区的A区拨出适合数量的药品至分药工作区的B区域。其中,第一方向可以是顺时针方向,也可以是逆时针方向,此处不做限定。
在一个例子中,在分药机器人控制拨药杆沿第一方向转动之前,根据药品的类型,确定拨药杆的拨药速度。具体地,考虑到每一种药品的外形、重量、外部材质以及摩擦力有所不同,所以针对不同的药品,拨药杆可以采用不同的拨药速度来拨药,以使药品排成预设形态。
步骤204:判断拨出的药品是否排成预设形态。
具体地,若分药机器人确定药品未排成预设形态,例如,一条直线,执行步骤205,若分药机器人确定药品排成预设形态,执行步骤206。
步骤205:判断拨药杆是否到达转动停止位。
具体地,由于分药工作区中设有纵向通孔,当拨药杆转回至纵向通孔时,会导致拨出的药品从纵向通孔掉落。因此,为避免药品掉落,分药机器人在分药工作区标记有转动停止位。若拨药杆到达转动停止位,执行步骤206,若拨药杆未到达转动停止位,继续执行步骤203。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,分药机器人可以通过学习带标记的分药工作区的图像,获知分药工作区的转动停止位,也可以通过识别分药工作区上做标记,获知分药工作区的转动停止位,本实施例不一一列举。
需要说明的是,由于药品之间的摩擦、药品和分药托盘的摩擦和药品的形状等原因,拨药杆转至转动停止位时,药品也无法排成预设形态,但无论药品是否排成预设形态,通过拨药杆的拨动,药品能够相对有序排列的排列,大大降低了视觉系统识别药品数量的难度。对于不同形态的排列方式,人工智能算法可以通过不断的学习,积累找到最佳切入点的经验,并通过前拨杆和后拨杆配合来实现。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,本实施例中的步骤204和步骤205可以有选择地实施,并非本实施例的必要步骤。
步骤206:控制拨药杆停止转动。
步骤207:基于拍摄模块拍摄的图像,识别拨出的药品的数量。
步骤208:判断拨出的药品的数量是否小于等于目标数量。
具体地,若确定拨出的药品的数量小于等于目标数量,执行步骤209,否则,执行步骤211。
步骤209:控制旋转托盘旋转至第三预设位置,控制分药机器人的拨药杆将拨出的药品拨至第一预设位置。其中,旋转托盘旋转至第三预设位置时,取药杯位于纵向通孔下方;第一预设位置为纵向通孔所在位置。
可选择的,在控制分药机器人的拨药杆将拨出的药品拨至第一预设位置之前,还包括:控制旋转托盘旋转至第三预设位置;其中,旋转托盘位于第三预设位置时,分药机器人的取药杯位于纵向通孔下方。
具体地,分药机器人控制旋转托盘下降至旋转位,如图20a所示。分药机器人控制旋转托盘旋转至第三预设位置,当旋转托盘位于第三预设位置时,取药杯位于纵向通孔下方,如图20b所示。分药机器人控制旋转托盘上升至分药位,如图20c所示。拨药杆将分出的药品拨至纵向通孔所在位置,使得分出的药品掉至取药杯中。在分药完成后,分药机器人控制旋转托盘下降至旋转位,如图20d所示。
需要说明的是,图20a-图20d中以取药杯和储药杯一起升降为例,对储药杯和取药杯的升降过程进行举例说明,实际中,也可以单独控制储药杯或取药杯升降。
步骤210:判断拨出的药品的数量是否等于目标数量。若确定拨出的药品的数量等于目标数量,结束分药过程,若确定拨出的药品的数量不等于目标数量,返回执行步骤201。
步骤211:基于拍摄模块拍摄的图像,控制拨药杆的前拨杆和后拨杆移动,从分药托盘上划取药品。
在一个例子中,分药机器人基于拍摄模块拍摄的图像,确定第一角度和第二角度;控制拨药杆沿第二方向转动第一角度;其中,第二方向与第一方向的方向相反;控制拨药杆的前拨杆沿第一方向旋转第二角度;控制拨药杆沿第一方向旋转以划取药品。若第一方向为顺时针方向,则第二方向为逆时针方向;若第一方向为逆时针方向,则第二方向为顺时针方向。
具体地,如果拨药杆拨出的药品的数量大于目标数量,前拨杆和后拨杆配合分药。如图21a所示,在视觉系统的指引下,首先由主关节带动前拨杆和后拨杆沿第二方向旋转第一角度,即本次旋转方向和步骤203描述的拨药过程中拨药杆的旋转方向相反。接着,辅关节带动前拨杆沿第一方向旋转第二角度,即旋转方向和步骤203描述的拨药过程中拨药杆的旋转方向相同,以使前拨杆和后拨杆形成一定角度。最后,辅关节固定不动,主关节正向转动,完成分药,如图21b所示。
可选择的,基于拍摄模块拍摄的图像,确定第一角度和第二角度,包括:根据拍摄模块 拍摄的图像,确定拨药信息;其中,拨药信息包括药品的分布区域、药品的体积、药品的数量和目标数量中的任意一个或任意组合;根据拨药信息,以及拨药信息和第一角度的第三约束关系,确定第一角度;根据拨药信息,以及拨药信息和第二角度的第四约束关系,确定第二角度。例如,预先建立拨药信息与第一角度的第三约束关系,分药机器人基于第三约束关系和药品信息,计算第一角度。基于拨药信息计算第一角度,使得第一角度更适用于切分当前的药品,提高分药效率。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,第一角度也可以是预设角度,本实施例不做限制。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,分药过程中,视觉系统可以根据分药工作区上药品的情况,指挥主关节和辅关节做微调,找到更好的切分角度。
步骤212:控制旋转托盘旋转至第二预设位置或第四预设位置,控制拨药杆沿剩余的药品所在方向旋转至第一预设位置。之后执行步骤209。
具体地,所述旋转托盘位于所述第四预设位置时,所述分药机器人的废药杯位于所述纵向通孔下方。辅关节带动前拨杆沿第二方向转动,以使前拨杆和后拨杆重新回到一条直线上。如图22a所示。然后,主关节带动拨药杆沿第二方向旋转,将多余的药品拨回储药杯,如图22b和图22c所示。最后,控制模块控制旋转托盘旋转至第三预设位置,控制拨药杆将拨出的药品拨至纵向通孔所在位置。例如,如图23a-图23c所示,拨药杆沿第一方向旋转,以将拨出的药品拨至纵向通孔所在位置。又如,如图24a-图24c所示,拨药杆沿第二方向旋转,以将拨出的药品拨至纵向通孔所在位置。
可选择的,在控制拨药杆沿剩余的药品所在方向旋转至第一预设位置之前,分药机器人控制前拨杆沿第二方向旋转第二角度。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以理解,可以有选择地实施本实施例中的步骤212,步骤212并非本实施例的必要步骤。若不执行步骤212,在真不行步骤211后,执行步骤209。
在一个实施例中,如图25所示,分药机器人执行的视觉分药方法包括以下步骤。其中,步骤301至步骤312分别与图17所示的视觉分药方法的步骤201至步骤212大致相同,此处不再赘述。
步骤301:获取药品的目标数量。
步骤302:控制分药机器人的旋转托盘旋转至第二预设位置,控制第一推杆推动储药杯活动杯底向上移动。
步骤303:控制拨药杆沿第一方向转动。
步骤304:判断拨出的药品是否排成预设形态。
具体地,若控制模块确定药品未排成预设形态,例如,一条直线,执行步骤305,若控制模块确定药品排成预设形态,执行步骤306。
步骤305:判断拨药杆是否到达转动停止位。
具体地,若拨药杆到达转动停止位,执行步骤306,若拨药杆未到达转动停止位,执行步骤303。
步骤306:控制拨药杆停止转动。
步骤307:基于拍摄模块拍摄的图像,识别拨出的药品的数量。
步骤308:判断拨出的药品的数量是否小于等于目标数量。
具体地,若确定拨出的药品的数量小于等于目标数量,执行步骤309,否则,执行步骤311。
步骤309:控制旋转托盘旋转至第三预设位置,控制分药机器人的拨药杆将拨出的药品拨至第一预设位置。其中,旋转托盘旋转至第三预设位置时,取药杯位于纵向通孔下方;第一预设位置为纵向通孔所在位置。
步骤310:判断拨出的药品的数量是否等于目标数量。若确定拨出的药品的数量等于目标数量,结束分药过程,若确定拨出的药品的数量不等于目标数量,返回执行步骤301。
步骤311:基于拍摄模块拍摄的图像,控制拨药杆的前拨杆和后拨杆移动,从分药托盘上划取药品。
步骤312:控制旋转托盘旋转至第二预设位置,控制拨药杆沿剩余的药品所在方向旋转至第一预设位置。
步骤313:基于拍摄模块拍摄的图像,识别划取的药品的数量。
步骤314:判断划取的药品的数量是否等于目标数量。
具体地,若分药机器人确定划取的药品的数量等于目标数量,执行步骤315,否则,执行步骤316。
步骤315:控制旋转托盘旋转至第三预设位置,控制拨药杆将划取的药品拨至第一预设位置。之后结束流程。
步骤316:判断划取的药品的数量是否小于目标数量。
具体地,控制模块若确定划取的药品的数量小于目标数量,执行步骤317,否则,执行步骤311。
步骤317:控制旋转托盘旋转至第三预设位置,控制拨药杆将划取的药品拨至第一预设位置。之后执行步骤301。
需要说明的是,步骤301至步骤317为一次分药过程,当从步骤317返回执行步骤301时,分药机器人开始当前药品的下一次分药过程。此时,分药机器人获取药品的目标数量=用户需要服用的药品数量-每次划至取药杯的药品的数量的和;或者,药品的目标数量=前一次的分药过程中的目标数量-前一次分药过程中划至取药杯的药品的数量。
本实施例中,使用的“divide-and-conquer”(逐个击破)的思想,可以弥补由于分药机器人的硬件的精度不高导致的分药结果的不准确的缺陷。即通过不断重复来提高分药结果的准确性。
在一个实施例中,包括摄像头和视觉算法在内的视觉系统还可以执行包括但不限于以下操作:
操作1:药品识别。具体地,装药入储药杯时,视觉系统可以通过比对药品的外形、颜色等进行对比,确认装入的药品无误。
需要说明你的是,药品识别还可以通过其他方式进行,例如,通过精准的检测仪器,比如拉曼光谱检测仪,进行识别。
操作2:药品余量检测。具体地,视觉系统对储药杯内的药品进行检测。当药品数量少于某个预设区间后,视觉系统可以通知用户(服药人或者照护人)补充药品,也可以直接给药房下发续方订单。
操作3:检测分药工作区的药品高度。具体地,当把药品往上推时,视觉系统可以拍摄分药工作区的图像,并发送至控制模块或云端,控制模块或云端根据图像中的药品的形状和堆积的形态,可以预测高出分药托盘所在平面的药品的数量,控制模块或云端基于分药托盘所在平面的药品的数量,控制第一推杆停止推动。
操作4:视觉系统拍摄取药杯内部的图像,基于取药杯内部的图像确认取出的药品的数量是否正确。可选择的,可以将取药杯内部的图像保存留作记录。
操作5:第一次分药过程中,在将拨出的药品放置取药杯之前,确认取药杯是否为空。如果取药杯不为空,有可能是上次分出来的药没有被吃掉,通过操作第二推杆和拨药杆,将取药杯清空。
操作6:视觉系统具备药品识别功能。在取药杯内的药品未被服用时,可以将取药杯内的药品拨至分药托盘上,再基于药品的形状、颜色等特征,进行药品识别。可选择的,为提高识别效率,可以在分药机器人内增设其他药品检测力气,比如拉曼光谱检测仪。基于识别 结果,通过拨药杆,把药品分出来,分别拨到对应的储药杯里面。
