[0030] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed account of an empty anesthetic drug bottle recycling device.
[0031] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a narcotic drug empty bottle recycling device, including a device housing 10, an empty bottle collection mechanism on the outer surface of the device housing 10, a bottle placement mechanism on the upper surface of the device housing 10, a multi-channel sealing mechanism inside the device housing 10, and an operation panel 50 on the outer surface of the device housing 10.
[0032] The empty bottle collection mechanism includes five collection chambers arranged in a circular array on the surface of the device housing 10, collection cylinders 20 placed on the inner wall of the collection chambers, and a closed door 21 with a safety lock installed on the inner wall of the collection chambers. The closed door 21 is hinged and rotated on the inner wall of the collection chambers. The safety lock is an electronic combination lock and a fingerprint recognition lock. The outer wall of the collection cylinder 20 is marked with a label indicating the type of anesthetic bottle. The five collection chambers are arranged in a circular array, and each collection cylinder 20 corresponds to a specific type of empty anesthetic bottle. The label on the outer wall enables visual classification management. The closed door 21 is controlled by two people with two locks through an electronic combination lock and a fingerprint recognition lock, which complies with the requirements for the storage and retrieval of special drug containers in the "Regulations on the Administration of Narcotic Drugs".
[0033] The bottle placement mechanism includes a mounting groove on the upper end of the equipment housing 10, a turntable 30 that rotates with the bottom wall of the mounting groove, a feeding trough 31 on the upper end of the turntable 30, a through groove 32 on the outer surface of the turntable 30, an anesthesia bottle scanner 33 fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the mounting groove, a groove on the bottom wall of the mounting groove, and a motor 34 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the groove to drive the turntable 30 to rotate. The width of the through groove 32 and the feeding trough 31 is greater than the diameter of the anesthesia bottle.
[0034] The multi-channel sealing mechanism includes five channels 40 arranged in a circular array on the bottom wall of the mounting groove, a chute on the inner wall of the channel 40, a sealing block 41 that slides on the inner wall of the chute, and a cylinder 42 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the chute. The telescopic end of the cylinder 42 is fixedly connected to one side of the sealing block 41. The flatness error between the upper surface of the sealing block 41 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove is ≤0.1mm. All five channels 40 are interconnected with five collection chambers. The empty anesthetic bottle enters the turntable 30 through the feeding chute 31. The width of both the through chute 32 and the feeding chute 31 is greater than the diameter of the largest anesthetic bottle. A transparent glass is fixed inside the through chute 32 to prevent the bottle from getting stuck during the feeding process. The width design of the feeding chute 31 ensures that empty bottles of different sizes can pass through smoothly. After the empty anesthetic bottle enters the feeding chute 31, the bottom of the empty anesthetic bottle will contact the inner bottom wall of the mounting groove.
[0035] The control panel 50 has a built-in control unit. The anesthetic bottle scanner 33 is an RFID reader or a QR code scanning module, which forms a linkage control system with the cylinder 42 and the motor 34. The anesthetic bottle scanner 33 performs RFID or QR code identification on the bottles in the feeding trough 31 to obtain the drug category and batch information (the control unit, RFID reader, and QR code scanning module are all existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail). The scanned data is transmitted to the control unit in real time, which drives the cylinder 42 to perform a telescopic action to open the corresponding channel 40. Then the motor 34 rotates and drives the turntable 30 to rotate. When the feeding trough 31 on the turntable 30 rotates to the corresponding opened channel 40, the empty bottle falls accurately into the collection cylinder 20 in the corresponding collection chamber. Compared with the existing technology, this device does not require manual sorting, reducing the sorting error rate.
[0036] Working principle:
[0037] The empty anesthetic vial is placed vertically into the feeding trough 31 of the turntable 30, ensuring that the bottom of the vial is in contact with the bottom wall of the mounting trough. The anesthetic vial scanner 33 automatically reads the RFID or QR code information on the vial. The operation panel 50 displays the drug type and batch data in real time. The control unit drives the corresponding cylinder 42 to retract the sealing block 41. Simultaneously, the motor 34 is started to slowly rotate the turntable 30 to the target channel 40. The empty vial falls into the designated collection cylinder 20 through the channel 40. The five channels 40 with a circumferential array design achieve physical isolation. Afterward, the motor 34 rotates to the reset position to prepare for the next feeding.
[0038] It is understood that this utility model has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the protection scope of this utility model.
