Automatic medicine taking robot based on machine vision

Abstract

The invention relates to an automatic medicine taking robot based on machine vision. The automatic medicine taking robot comprises an external support, a medicine feeding mechanism, a medicine storage mechanism, a suction cup medicine taking mechanism and a medicine conveying mechanism; the medicine feeding mechanism is slidably connected to the front side of the bottom of the external support; the medicine storage mechanism is connected to the middle of the external support; the medicine feeding mechanism corresponds to the bottom of the medicine storage mechanism in position; the suction cup medicine taking mechanism is slidably connected to the top of the external support and corresponds to the top of the medicine storage mechanism in position; the medicine conveying mechanism is slidably connected between the upper side and the lower side of the right end of the external support; and the top end of the medicine conveying mechanism corresponds to the right end of the suction cup medicine taking mechanism in position. According to the automatic medicine taking robot based on the machine vision of the invention, a whole set of processes of automatic supplement, storage, grabbing and transportation of medicines can be realized; a form of combining a machine and the medicines is adopted, a large amount of space can be saved, and the space utilization rate of a pharmacy is improved; and the medicine taking accuracy can be effectively improved through visual detection, so that a large amount of manpower and time are saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical robots, in particular to an automatic medicine-taking robot based on machine vision. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of society and the continuous improvement of the medical and health system, more and more attention has been paid to medical and health issues. At present, the number of patients in major general hospitals in my country remains high. When patients take medicine in pharmacies, long waiting times in queues have become more and more difficult problems. The problem of waiting in queues has seriously reduced the work efficiency of hospitals. The hospital pharmacy is responsible for distributing and selling medicines, and the service efficiency and accuracy of the pharmacy are directly related to the quality of medicines taken by each patient. However, due to the wide variety of medicines sold in the hospital, the medicines need to be placed on a large number...

Problems solved by technology

At present, the number of patients in major general hospitals in my country remains high. When patients take medicine in pharmacies, long waiting times in queues have become more and more difficult problems. The problem of waiting in queues has seriously reduced the work efficiency of hospitals. The hospital pharmacy is responsible for distributing and selling medicines, and the service efficiency and accuracy of the pharmacy are directly related to the quality of each patient's medicine.

However, due to the wide variety of medicines sold in the hospital, the medicines need to be placed on a large number of medicine shelves. When many people take the medicines, they need to wait for a long time

At present, the degree of automation in this field is low, and most pharmacies are not equipped with automation equipment, and still use traditional manual methods

[0003] According to the current operating status of hospital pharmacies and retail pharmacies, the current degree of automation in taking or storing medicines is not high, human resources are seriously occupied, and labor costs are high. For small items such as medicine boxes, in the current hospital pharmacies and Under the overall layout of the pharmacy, there is an urgent need for a robot that can automatically take medicine to reduce labor costs in this field and improve the automation level in this field
