一种面向老年人的膏药敷贴装置设计

Design of a Plaster Application Device for the Elderly

【目的】解决老年人因关节不灵活导致无法自行敷贴膏药的问题。设计出一种面向老年人的膏药敷贴装置。【方法】该装置以STM32F103C8T6为主控芯片,可对红外传感器与压力传感器反馈的数据使用算法进行处理,得到背部位置与疼痛点位置,再根据程序指令来控制电机控制器、舵机、气泵等的运行,完成膏药敷贴。同时,其还包含膏药加热和语音播报功能。【结果】该装置操作简单,具有较高的精准度,可高效地定位到老年人痛点处,且老年人背部受力较合理,避免因受力过重导致其他问题出现或因受力过轻导致膏药粘贴不牢固,可很好地满足老年人的日常生活需要。【结论】该装置为老年人的生活带来较大便利,从而让科技造福老年人的生活,应用前景广阔。

[Purposes]This paper aims to solve the problem that the elderly cannot apply the plaster by themselves due to their inflexible joints,a plaster application device for the elderly was designed.[Methods]The device uses STM32F103C8T6 as the main control chip,which can process the feedback data from infrared sensor and pressure sensor algorithmically to get the back position and pain point position,and then control the motor controller,servo,air pump and other operation according to the program instruction to complete the plaster application process.It also contains plaster heating and voice broadcast function.[Findings]The device is easy to operate,has high accuracy,and can efficiently locate the pain points of the elderly;and the device is reasonable for the back force of the elderly,which will not cause a series of other problems due to too heavy force,nor will it cause the plaster paste to be insecure due to too light force,which can well meet the needs of the elderly in their daily life.[Conclusions]The device can bring greater convenience to the life of the elderly,enable technology to benefit the life of the elderly,and has a broad application prospect.
