In traditional infusion processes, issues such as untimely medication replacement and patients' difficulty in continuously monitoring their medication levels are prevalent. This study presents the design of a smart infusion automatic medication replacement device aimed at automating infusion management through three key modules: high-precision liquid level monitoring, automated medication replacement, and a smart control system. By monitoring liquid levels in real time, the system eliminates the need for patients to constantly check their medication levels, accurately controlling the amount of medication dispensed and transmitting monitoring signals within safe thresholds. The rotational medication replacement mechanism stores and precisely replaces medicine bottles, optimizing usage and minimizing waste. Automated settings for liquid level monitoring and the plug-and-push system replace the need for manual assessment of medication completion and input quality, ensuring consistent dosage and high-quality delivery. The rotational mechanism also reduces the time needed for refilling and decreases the labor intensity for healthcare providers. A stabilization and calibration mechanism ensures bottles remain centered, preventing issues with internal pressure changes and loosening of the piercing tool. By replacing repetitive manual adjustments with automated processes, healthcare professionals can focus more on patient care rather than the cumbersome medication replacement procedures. The smart infusion automatic medication replacement device enhances the quality of infusion therapy for patients and alleviates the repetitive workload of medical staff.
在传统输液过程中，诸如药物更换不及时以及患者难以持续监测药物水平等问题普遍存在。本研究提出了一种智能输液自动药物更换装置的设计，旨在通过三个关键模块实现输液管理自动化：高精度液位监测、自动药物更换和智能控制系统。通过实时监测液位，该系统消除了患者不断检查药物水平的需求，精确控制给药量并在安全阈值内传输监测信号。旋转式药物更换机构存储并精确更换药瓶，优化使用并减少浪费。液位监测的自动设置和插拔式系统取代了手动评估药物完成情况和输入质量的需求，确保剂量一致且给药质量高。旋转机构还减少了重新装药所需的时间，并降低了医护人员的劳动强度。一种稳定和校准机构确保药瓶保持居中，防止内部压力变化和穿刺工具松动等问题。通过用自动化流程取代重复性的手动调整，医护人员可以将更多精力放在患者护理上，而不是繁琐的药物更换程序。智能输液自动药物更换装置提高了患者输液治疗的质量，减轻了医护人员的重复性工作量。
