Development of Motion Unit of Simulated Intelligent Endotracheal Suctioning Robot

A motion unit for sucking robot with a stable motion, convenient operation and process simulation is introduced. The key parameters and process data of the sucking operation were obtained from the clinical work, which provided the basis for the design of the sucking robot motion unit. According to the points of sucking action, robotic thumb, forefinger and metacarpophalangeal joints were used to grip the suction tube, and the servo and arm structure were used to simulate the motion of the wrist and elbow to complete the rotation and push of the sputum suction tube. The feasibility is verified through the advanced sputum suction training model. The movement unit is stable in movement, and can smoothly complete the clamping, feeding, back off protection and rotating tube removal of the sputum suction tube, so as to achieve effective sputum suction.
