AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

At present, most of the automatic medicine vending machines are driven by the rotation control to output the medicine box, so it is easy to cause the medicine box to be stuck during the output process, resulting in damage to the medicine box and the situation that the machine cannot continue to operate, and the maintenance cost is high.

Based on the existing medicine dispensing control device, the medicine boxes are often placed vertically, which limits the number of medicines in the medicine cabinet, and because the medicine boxes are of different sizes, it is difficult for the existing medicine dispensing control device to accurately control the number of medicine boxes
