Abstract

The invention relates to a bulk traditional Chinese medicine automatic taking device and a method. The bulk traditional Chinese medicine automatic taking device comprises an automatic medicine box distribution device, medicine boxes, a medicine taking mechanical arm, medicine distribution devices, addressing devices, a medicine rack and a row changing mechanical arm. The multiple medicine distribution devices are arranged on the medicine rack. The automatic medicine box distribution device is arranged on the side face of the medicine rack. The medicine boxes are placed in the automatic medicine box distribution device. The addressing devices are arranged on the front face and the side face of the medicine rack and comprise driving units, guiding units and traction units. The addressing device arranged on the front face is located on one sides of the medicine discharging ends of the medicine distribution devices. The medicine taking mechanical arm and the row changing mechanical arm are both located on the addressing devices. The addressing devices drive the medicine taking mechanical arm to reach the designated medicine distribution devices, and medicine taking is achieved. The row changing mechanical arm cooperates with the medicine taking mechanical arm, and the row changing process is completed under driving of the addressing devices. According to the device and the method, the process of intelligent and automatic medicine taking in a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy is achieved, multiple prescriptions are processed at the same time, the problem of medicine pollution in the medicine distribution process is solved, the labor intensity of workers is relieved, and the medicine taking efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the related technical field of medical articles, in particular to a device and method for automatically taking medicine in bulk. Background technique [0002] At present, most of the traditional Chinese medicines prescribed by doctors are in bulk form, and the workload of dispensing Chinese medicines in hospitals or Chinese pharmacies is very large, and it takes a long time to prepare the medicines once. The staff needs to grab the medicine back and forth from the medicine box to adjust to the required weight by hand, which is inefficient. In the process of grabbing traditional Chinese medicine, the staff generally grab it directly by hand, which may contaminate the medicine. In summary, there are problems such as low efficiency, inaccurate weighing, and difficult review in the process of dispensing medicine, so it is of great significance to realize the automation of dispensing medicine. But in the existing medicine taking d...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The staff needs to grab the medicine back and forth from the medicine box by hand to adjust to the required weight, which is inefficient

In the process of grabbing traditional Chinese medicine, the staff usually grab it directly with their hands, which may contaminate the medicine

In summary, there are problems such as low efficiency, inaccurate weighing, and difficult review in the process of dispensing medicine, so it is of great significance to realize the automation of dispensing medicine

However, in the existing medicine taking device, such as patent CN207748105U, a medicine taking channel is shared in the medicine taking process, and the problem of medicine pollution is not considered.

Most traditional Chinese medicines are still stored in bulk, and the shapes of medicinal materials are different, such as lumps, granules, strips, powders, etc. During the collection process, traditional Chinese medicines are easily attached to the medicine extraction channel, and the follow-up grabbing The traditional Chinese medicine will bring the possibility of pollution, and it may also affect the efficacy of the medicine, and even cause harm to the patient's body

In addition, for example, the patent CN111439403A can automatically grasp medicines of different types of Chinese herbal medicines, which improves the precision and efficiency of medicine grasping, but cannot complete the simultaneous grasping of multiple prescriptions, and cannot be processed in time when there are many prescriptions. The waiting time for patients is longer and the medicine grasping efficiency is low.
