Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of material storage, in particular to an intelligent high-density storage pharmacy for drug storage and a drug management method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The pharmacy and / or the drug warehouse in various hospitals are one of the important departments of the hospital. The pharmacy involves a large number of drugs, interfaces with multiple departments, and has a huge workload. In the current dispensing process, the general pharmacy sets up multiple dispensing windows, and each window has a corresponding staff to receive patients and handle the corresponding drug demand. However, because the hospital needs to store a large number of drugs, more space is used to place shelves and drugs, and the number of windows in most hospitals cannot meet the dispensing needs of patients at peak times. Patients need to wait in line for a long time at the window. At the same time, because each patient's drugs are different, the pharmacists in the pharmacy need to manually or use auxiliary automatic devices to take drugs from different storage shelves. In a busy hospital, it is often seen that there are a large number of patients waiting in line to take medicine at the dispensing window. Although the pharmacy has improved in terms of drug placement, personnel allocation, and auxiliary drug picking, the efficiency of the pharmacy dispensing window still cannot meet the needs of patients. For example, a central hospital in a medium-sized city or a large city, with an average daily prescription volume of about 4000 per day, and a peak of up to 6000 per day. There are up to a dozen artificial dispensing windows in the pharmacy, and each window has a pharmacist checking and dispensing drugs at the dispensing window, and a good pharmacist needs to allocate prescriptions. The process of thousands of prescriptions from allocation to checking and dispensing by manpower is a very heavy task. Therefore, the hospital pharmacy is always crowded, with a large number of patients crowded in the waiting area, causing congestion and safety hazards.

[0003] With the development of information technology, hospitals have become increasingly dependent on information management systems. Although many hospitals have already used information management systems, the process of drugs from entering the warehouse, entering the drug warehouse, to the pharmacy, and finally to the patient's hands still requires a lot of manual work. It is difficult to meet the dispensing needs of medium and large hospitals with a large number of dispensing users and concentrated time. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the application provides an intelligent high-density storage pharmacy and a medicine management method. On the one hand, the server interacts with the high-density storage pharmacy storage area, and automatically stores or takes out the medicine box containing medicines in the intelligent high-density storage pharmacy, thereby quickly solving the medicine storage and dispensing mode. On the other hand, through the unique storage structure design of the high-density storage pharmacy, the limited space is used to store the prepared medicines in the high-density storage pharmacy through multiple micro-cube storage space units, thereby greatly improving the space utilization rate. In addition, the structure for storing medicines can also achieve the effect of preventing theft of medicines. In this way, the hospital can use less area to store medicines, and more space to build medicine import and export (window), thereby reducing the patient queuing time and reducing the contact between doctors and patients.

[0005] At the same time, in this way, the pressure of dispensing medicines can be released to the backstage. The backstage can adopt centralized dispensing management instead of dispensing medicines for the window. The pharmacists can prepare medicines into medicine boxes when the doctors prescribe medicines for patients, and reserve in the intelligent high-density storage pharmacy in advance, waiting for the patients to come to take the medicines.

[0032] As Figures 1-5As shown, this embodiment discloses an intelligent high-density storage pharmacy, including a gridded track 1, a charging pile (not shown), a track robot 2, a high-density storage pharmacy support 3, a medicine box 4, a server (not shown), and a medicine entry / exit channel 5, wherein:

[0033] The tracked robot runs on a gridded track; the overall shape of the high-density storage pharmacy rack is cubic, and the interior of the high-density storage pharmacy rack is set with multiple micro-cube storage spaces distributed in a cubic grid pattern. The micro-cube spaces are medicine boxes that can be stacked vertically.

[0034] The charging equipment is connected to the track robot and is used to charge the track robot;

[0035] The server communicates with the intelligent high-density storage pharmacy via signal or electronic control, and is used to send command signals to control the movement, lifting and lowering of the track robot and the transport of medicine boxes, as well as to charge the track robot and control the direction of operation of the medicine entry and exit channels.

[0036] The drug entry and exit channel is located at the bottom of the high-density storage pharmacy support frame, and is used for the entry and exit of drug boxes in the high-density storage pharmacy;

[0037] The medicine box is designed specifically for intelligent high-density storage pharmacies. It is used to store medicines, and the size of one medicine box is that of a micro-cubic storage unit within an intelligent high-density storage pharmacy.

[0038] The gridded track 1 is laid flat above the high-density storage pharmacy support 2. The gridded track 1 and the columns of the high-density storage pharmacy support 3 form a derrick space as the storage space of the intelligent high-density storage pharmacy. The gridded track 1 adopts a double-track structure to ensure that the track robot 2 can travel in parallel on the gridded track 2.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, the orbital robot 2 is sized to cover at least one derrick grid cell, and the medicine box 4 is sized to be a microcubic storage space cell.

[0040] In one specific embodiment of the intelligent high-density storage pharmacy according to this application, multiple micro-cubic storage spaces distributed in a three-dimensional grid are constructed as a derrick grid storage area. The derrick grid storage area includes a track layer, a base surface, and multiple high-density storage pharmacy support columns located between the track layer and the base surface. The multiple high-density storage pharmacy support columns extend vertically upward from the base surface and support the track layer.

[0041] The space below the gaps in the grid cells of the track grid serves as a storage well for storing medicine boxes; preferably, the gridded track structure is in the form of a double track to ensure that the track robots can operate without interfering with each other when traveling in the grid cells of the derrick.

[0042] The size of the track robot covers approximately one derrick grid cell, and the track robot contains power, control, drive, lifting, and charging devices. The track robot also has a container receiving space inside, which is a micro-cubic storage space.

[0043] The server connects to an intelligent, high-density storage pharmacy. By sending signals for medication to be dispensed into or out of the pharmacy, the dispensed medication is placed into a medicine box and then enters or leaves the pharmacy through the medication access channel. The server controls the track robot to move, lift, or transport the medicine box on the gridded track. It also controls the direction and speed of the medication access channel.

[0044] Medication is dispensed using a drug sorting device or dispensing machine provided by the hospital. The sorted or dispensed medications are placed into a medicine box, which facilitates intelligent and high-density storage and retrieval of medications in the pharmacy.

[0045] The medicine box has a user-identified barcode for easy verification of the correct medication when users pick it up.

[0046] The track robot has two sets of drive wheels in the X and Y directions, which allows the track robot to reach any specified position on the derrick grid track.

[0047] By receiving signal commands from the server, the medicine box is lifted to store medicine and lowered to retrieve medicine.

[0048] The charging equipment is connected to the intelligent high-density storage pharmacy and charges the track robot through command signals issued by the server. The bottom of the intelligent high-density storage pharmacy is equipped with multiple drug entry and exit channels, which can simultaneously perform drug storage and / or drug retrieval operations for multiple drug boxes.

[0049] Multiple drug entry and exit channels 5 are located at the bottom of the high-density storage pharmacy support 3 for storing or retrieving drug boxes 4.

[0050] The server receives the user's prescription or drug disposal signal and generates a drug operation task with a specific user identification code. The hospital pharmacist or drug sorting equipment puts the target drug into the empty drug box 4. The full drug box 4 is then transported to the entrance / exit of the drug entry / exit channel 5 at the bottom of the high-density storage pharmacy support 3, where there is no work or a queue.

[0051] Preferably, pharmacists can verify and check the sorted medicines. This verification and checking can be carried out using non-physical methods such as video monitoring and barcode verification, or by visual inspection of the physical medicines.

[0052] Furthermore, the server issues control commands to control the track robot 2 to run to a designated position on the gridded track 1 layer, and uses the lifting mechanism inside the track robot 2 to grab the medicine box 4 that is stuck in the medicine inlet / outlet channel 5 and lift it into the internal storage space of the track robot 2. Then the track robot 2 moves to a storage well above a high-density storage pharmacy bracket 2, and uses the lifting mechanism to lower and release the medicine box 4 to a high-density storage pharmacy storage area.

[0053] Preferably, after the user pays the bill, the server issues a medication dispensing command. The track robot 2 lifts and grabs the medication box 4, which is temporarily stored in the internal storage area of ​​the high-density storage pharmacy bracket 3, using a crane mechanism. The robot moves the medication box 4 to the innermost medication entry / exit channel 5, and then moves it to the dispensing window for the customer to pick up the medication using the corresponding dispensing device set up by the hospital. This shortens the waiting time and queuing time for the customer after payment, and further increases the flow of customers picking up medication.

[0054] Optionally, if payment for unpaid medications is not received within a predetermined time period, the server issues a cancellation order, and the medication box 4 containing the medications remains temporarily stored in the high-density storage pharmacy storage area or the medications in the medication box 4 are otherwise retrieved. For example, a retrieval port for unpaid medications can be set up in the high-density storage pharmacy, and the medication box containing the retrieved medications can be transported to the retrieval port through the medication in / out channel 5.

[0055] Furthermore, customers can create medication orders online. The medications in the order can be temporarily stored in the storage area of ​​the high-density storage pharmacy shelf 3 via medication box 4. After the customer arrives at the hospital to pay the bill, the intelligent warehouse will send the ordered medications to the pickup point, thereby reducing the time cost for customers when purchasing and picking up medications. Optionally, if the user cancels a medication order, the medications stored in the high-density storage pharmacy will be immediately retrieved.

[0056] Alternatively, the hospital can sort and classify a batch of medications. For example, cardiac medications can be divided into categories A, B, and C. Category A, B, and C medications are placed into medication boxes 4 and labeled. Medication boxes 4 are then stored in the storage area of ​​the high-density storage pharmacy shelf 3 via medication access channels 5. The medication boxes 4 are then vertically stacked, with category A, B, and C medication boxes stored sequentially within the high-density storage pharmacy space, achieving efficient storage, high space utilization, and theft prevention.

[0057] In this embodiment, the drug entry / exit channel 5 is located at the bottom of the high-density storage pharmacy support 3, and its size covers the size of a medicine box 4. The number of drug entry / exit channels 5 depends on the size of the high-density storage pharmacy. The larger the design size of the high-density storage pharmacy, the more channels 5 there are, and the faster the working efficiency of the track robot 2. Specifically, when the track robot 2 is working, path planning prioritizes the nearest drug entry / exit channel 5.

[0058] The present invention discloses an intelligent high-density storage pharmacy with multiple drug entry and exit channels at the bottom. The drug boxes can quickly store or retrieve drugs through the drug entry and exit channels, and the design of multiple drug entry and exit channels ensures a high drug storage and retrieval rate.

[0059] This invention discloses an intelligent high-density storage pharmacy. The pharmacy's support structure features a gridded track on its top layer. A storage space designed within a track-mounted robot runs on this track, its dimensions perfectly matching a microcubic storage unit. The robot is equipped with two sets of drive devices along the X and Y axes, ensuring it can reach any designated position on the gridded track and retrieve stored medicine boxes within the 1:1 micro-high-density storage space of the trolley. Furthermore, the robot contains a charging component that connects to a charging device for charging, ensuring the pharmacy's normal operation and significantly improving time utilization.

[0060] This invention discloses an intelligent high-density storage pharmacy that, through the interaction between the high-density storage space and the server, can significantly reduce doctor-patient contact. After receiving a prescription and paying, patients can obtain their medication without contacting a pharmacist. This greatly reduces the workload of pharmacists and decreases the error rate. Furthermore, intelligent management can significantly reduce the space occupied by the pharmacy.

[0061] This invention discloses an intelligent high-density storage pharmacy. Multiple drug entry and exit channels are located at the bottom of the pharmacy's support frame. Depending on actual conditions and needs, corresponding transmission equipment can be installed. While ensuring information exchange between the high-density storage pharmacy and the server, the transmission equipment automatically transports medicine boxes containing medications through the channels to the high-density storage pharmacy's storage area, or delivers medicine boxes stored in the high-density storage pharmacy's storage area to the retrieval window. This significantly improves the efficiency of drug handling through automated equipment while saving manpower.

[0062] This invention discloses an intelligent high-density storage pharmacy. The high-density storage pharmacy interacts with the server information, ensuring that the intelligent high-density storage pharmacy can serve as a cloud storage warehouse. Patients can purchase medicines online and store them in medicine boxes containing user identification codes within the high-density storage pharmacy's storage space. When users need to pick up their medicines, they can use their user identification codes to retrieve them from the hospital's dispensing area, ensuring customer needs are met while providing convenience in terms of medication retrieval time.

[0063] The present invention discloses an intelligent high-density storage pharmacy. The high-density storage pharmacy adopts a vertical stacking of medicine boxes, which maximizes the storage space while ensuring that the medicine boxes inside the storage space have a certain degree of anti-theft and airtightness. Under the condition of automated operation of the machine equipment, the possibility of human interference with the medicines in the medicine boxes is greatly reduced.

[0064] Preferably, refer to Figure 8 As shown, in the intelligent high-density storage pharmacy storage area, on the one hand, according to the type of medicine, medicine boxes can be used to store the medicines in one or more micro-cube storage spaces. For example, for coronary heart disease-related Class A, Class B, and Class C medicines, Class A, Class B, and Class C medicines can be stored in three independent micro-cube storage spaces respectively through medicine boxes.

[0065] More preferably, the intelligent high-density storage pharmacy storage area can store and stack specific types of medications for certain conditions in a horizontal or vertical stacking layer according to the principle of relevance, such as category A, category B, or category C, which facilitates centralized management and timely access.

[0066] For example, for medications related to a certain condition, the following management process is adopted: the sorted Class A, Class B, and Class C medications are packed into medication boxes, which then enter the intelligent high-density storage pharmacy through the medication entry and exit channel; a track trolley transports the medication boxes to the designated storage location in the high-density storage pharmacy; and Class A, Class B, and Class C medications are stored vertically.

[0067] According to another aspect of this disclosure, a method for managing medicines using the aforementioned intelligent high-density storage pharmacy is also proposed. The method includes: generating a medicine handling task with a specific user identification code based on a doctor's prescription and a medicine disposal command sent by the hospital server; calling upon a medicine sorting device, dispensing machine, or dispensing staff to sort or dispense medicines according to the task; placing the sorted or dispensed medicines into an empty medicine box and transporting it to the medicine in / out channel at the bottom of the intelligent high-density storage pharmacy support; using a hoisting mechanism inside a tracked robot to move the medicine box containing the medicines to the storage area of ​​the high-density storage pharmacy; after the user completes payment for the medicine order, the tracked robot, based on the received dispensing instruction from the server, moves the medicine box stored in the high-density storage pharmacy storage area to the nearest medicine in / out channel entrance of the high-density storage pharmacy; and using hospital-provided transmission equipment to deliver the medicine box to the designated hospital dispensing window, thereby providing the medicine with the specific user identification code to the user.

[0068] Reference Figure 7 As shown, this application also proposes a drug management method utilizing the aforementioned intelligent high-density storage pharmacy, the drug management method comprising:

[0069] Customers submit their medication order and receive a medication barcode or QR code; they then collect their medication from the designated pickup point.

[0070] To enable customers to pick up their medications at the dispensing point: sorted tablets or medications prepared by pharmacists are placed into medication boxes; the medication boxes enter the intelligent high-density storage pharmacy through the medication entry and exit channel; a tracked trolley transports the medications to the designated storage location in the high-density storage pharmacy; it determines whether the customer has completed order payment within the specified time period; if payment is completed, the tracked trolley sends the medication box to the medication delivery channel via the nearest medication entry and exit track; the medication box is then transported to the dispensing point through the delivery channel.

[0071] If the customer fails to complete the order payment within the specified time period, the server sends a signal to collect the medicine; the track trolley will move the designated medicine collection box to the medicine entry and exit channel, and then deliver it to the pharmacy through the dedicated collection channel.

[0072] By adopting the smart pharmacy according to this disclosure, each medicine can be pre-stored in a high-density storage pharmacy after it has been procured, thereby saving storage space.

[0073] By utilizing smart pharmacies based on this disclosure, delivery portals for logistics companies or couriers can be set up, thereby meeting the needs of internet-based medical consultations and online medication orders.

[0074] Other embodiments of the invention will be readily conceived and understood by those skilled in the art in conjunction with the description and practice of the invention disclosed herein. The descriptions and embodiments are to be considered exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of the invention are defined by the claims.
