Abstract

In this study, the controller structure and control algorithm of medical robot bed developed for pressure ulcer prevention and healing are described. The existing pressure ulcer prevention mattress is operated manually and the remaining maximum body pressure exceeds the pressure of ulcer generation, so there is always room for pressure ulcers. However, the system developed in this study does not generate the pressure ulcers because the body pressure drops to zero when the keyboard of the bed descends using the active electric driving keyboard. In addition, even if the bed is raised and the pressure above the critical body ulcer pressure is abnormal, the device and the control algorithm are designed so that the lasting time is within the pressure ulcer generation critical time and the pressure ulcer itself is not generated. The bed key board motor is a motor designed with the BLDC servos suitable for medical use and these can communicate each other easily through CAN(Car Area Network). The system is new medical robot bed that is effective in preventing pressure ulcers and will be distributed to many patients suffering from pressure ulcers.

본 연구에서는 욕창 예방과 치유를 위해 개발된 의료용 로봇 침대의 제어기 구조와 제어 알고리즘에 대해 기술한다. 상용의 기존 욕창 예방 매트리스는 수동으로 동작하고 잔존 최대 체압이 욕창 발생 임계 체압을 넘어서기 때문에 이론적으로는 항상 욕창이 발생할 여지가 있지만, 본 연구에 개발된 시스템은 능동형 전기구동 건반을 사용하여 침대의 건반이 하강하면 체압이 0으로 떨어져서 욕창이 발생하지 않는다. 또한, 침대의 건반이 상승하여 욕창 임계 체압 이상이더라도 지속시간을 욕창 발생 임계시간 이내로 하도록 기구와 제어 알고리즘이 설계되어 있어서 욕창 발생 자체가 일어나지 않으며, 이는 바로 상용화가 가능한 욕창 예방 로봇 침대임을 뜻한다. 침대 건반의 모터는 의료용으로 적합한 BLDC 서보 드라이버를 설계한 모터로 되어있고 전장이 단순하여 쉽게 사용할 수 있도록 설계되었으며, CAN(Car Area Network)방식으로 서로 통신한다. 제작된 시스템은 욕창 예방에 효과적인 새로운 의료용 로봇 침대로 욕창으로 고통받는 많은 환자들에게 제공될 수 있도록 보급할 예정이다.
