Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of medical equipment, automatic medicine dispensing technology, medical mechanical electronic products and information technology, and in particular to a full-automatic medicine dispensing and supplying system and a solid medicine automatic separation method. Background Art

[0002] With advancements in technology and medical expertise, most diseases can be cured or controlled to a certain extent through medication. However, due to various reasons, failure to take medications on time and accurately remains a serious problem facing humanity. For patients with conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer's disease, failure to take medications on time and accurately can lead to serious negative consequences, placing a heavy burden on patients, their families, and society. According to research by the New England Healthcare Institute, significantly improving the rates of timely and accurate medication use could save $290 billion annually in the United States alone.

[0003] As a result, a large number of medication delivery products, such as smart pill boxes, have emerged on the market. While these devices can remind users to take their medications on time, manual dispensing is still required. This means someone must pre-package the medications individually into specific medicine boxes, significantly increasing the likelihood of errors and contamination. Furthermore, with the aging of society, the elderly's ability to care for themselves gradually declines with age, further increasing the potential for errors. Existing technology, even pharmacy automated medication dispensing systems costing millions of yuan still require customized automatic medicine boxes based on the size, shape, and weight of each medication. This often leads to medication becoming stuck and mis-dispensed. Furthermore, the sealing of these medicine boxes often fails to meet medication storage requirements, or is even completely unsealed. These boxes also have areas that come into contact with the medication and cannot be cleaned, potentially causing premature loss of efficacy and contamination, directly impacting the health of the user.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0055] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0056] Example 1

[0057] See also Figures 1 to 6 , embodiment 1 of the present invention includes:

[0058] A fully automatic medicine dispensing and supplying system, comprising: a medicine feeding device 1 for separating solid medicines according to the type of medicine, a medicine dispensing device 2 for arranging the solid medicines output by the medicine feeding device 1 into a single row or column and keeping a distance between the medicines, a medicine dispensing channel device 3 for delivering each solid medicine output by the medicine dispensing device 2 to a designated position, a medicine supply box 43 for sealing and storing and providing medicines to be taken each time, a medicine returning device 4 for recovering excess medicines and a central processing part, wherein the medicine feeding device 1 comprises a medicine feeding box 11, and the medicine feeding box 11 comprises at least one medicine feeding grid 12. In this embodiment 1, the number of the medicine feeding grids 12 is 8. Of course, according to Depending on the actual usage situation, the number of medicine grids 12 can be increased or decreased. The medicine box 11 is also provided with a medicine outlet 13 communicated with the medicine dispensing device 2, and the medicine dispensing device 2 is also provided with a medicine inlet 21 cooperating with the medicine outlet 13. The medicine dispensing channel device 3 is provided with a fixed counting sensor 31 and a medicine dispensing channel 32. The medicine return device 4 includes a fixed plate 41, a medicine return bottle holder 42 and a medicine return bottle 44. The bottom of the medicine return bottle holder 42 can clamp at least one medicine return bottle 44 and a corresponding medicine return port 45 is provided above the medicine return bottle 44. The medicine return bottle holder 42 and the medicine supply box 43 are both movably connected to the fixed plate 41.

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, the medicine dispensing cavity includes two rotating disks, namely a first rotating disk 22 and a second rotating disk 23. The rotating disks are provided with at least one vortex-type medicine channel 24, and a vortex outlet 25 is provided at the edge of the vortex-type medicine channel 24. The first rotating disk 22 and the second rotating disk 23 intersect at the rotating disk intersection 29.

[0060] A counting sensor 31 is provided at the vortex outlet 25 , which is also the entrance of the medicine dispensing channel 32 .

[0061] The rotating disk is further provided with a cone 27 , which is located at the center of the rotating disk.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, the medicine dispensing channel device 3 is also provided with a displacement channel 33, which is located below the medicine dispensing channel 32. Rotating the displacement channel 33 can make the medicine in the medicine dispensing channel 32 flow through different entrances above the displacement channel 33 and fall into the medicine supply box 43 or the medicine return bottle 44.

[0063] like Figure 4As shown, the medicine supply box 43 includes a box core 431, which is provided with a plurality of inner compartments 432 and outer compartments 433. The inner compartments 432 and outer compartments 433 are circumferentially distributed on the box core 431, and the outer compartments 433 are located outside the inner compartments 432. The displacement channel 33 has corresponding outlets corresponding to the radial positions of the inner compartments 432 and the outer compartments 433.

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the medicine supply box 43 also includes a shift cover 434, a first outlet 435 and a second outlet 436. The first outlet 435 and the second outlet 436 correspond to the radial positions of the outer grid 433 and the inner grid 432, respectively. The shift cover 434 is rotated to expose the first outlet 435 or the second outlet 436 of the medicine supply box 43, so that the medicine falls from the outer grid 433 or the inner grid 432 into the medicine collection box 46, or the two outlets are covered at the same time to achieve sealed storage of the medicine in the medicine supply box.

[0065] For example Figure 1 As shown, the medicine supply device 4 further includes a medicine taking box 46 , and the medicine taking box 46 is movably connected to the medicine supply box 43 .

[0066] In addition, the central processing part includes an embedded control device and a communication device for providing remote communication and programming. The embedded control device can accept directly input information such as medication time, medication type and medication quantity to control medication dispensing, medication delivery, reminders and alarm operations. It can also accept medication information input through a mobile client and / or a remote client, different medication reminder methods selected, and selected personnel to be notified when medication is not taken on time or when medication needs to be picked up or dispensed, and send relevant information to these personnel in a timely manner. It can also use the expert system added to the remote client to remind whether the set medication dosage is normal and collect big data related to medication.

[0067] For example Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the medicine dispensing device 2 is compatible with any solid medication. This means it can operate with any solid medication, regardless of size, shape, or weight. The medicine dispensing device utilizes a "slow-in, fast-out" principle to effectively arrange disorganized, piled-up medications into single rows or columns, spacing them apart. The counting sensor 31 and medicine dispensing channel 32 then distribute the medications according to their type and quantity to pre-set destinations.

[0068] The operator pours each medicine from its original bottle into a medicine compartment 12 of the medicine loading box 11 in order, then secures the original bottle (i.e., the return bottle 44 in this embodiment) to the clip below the corresponding return port 45 on the return bottle holder 42. If a medicine is not bottled, a marked replacement bottle can be used instead.

[0069] After the medication loading process is complete, the system starts up and, by controlling the rotation angle of the medication loading box 11, forces the medication in the first individual medication loading compartment 12 to fall by gravity through the medication outlet 13 at its bottom into the medication inlet 21 fixed at the top of the medication dispensing device 2. By controlling the relative rotation angle of the medication outlet 13 and the medication inlet 21, the speed at which the medication enters the medication dispensing device 2 can be effectively increased or decreased, thereby controlling the medication flow rate.

[0070] The medicine is placed in the medicine feeding device 1 from the medicine feeding grid 12. After entering the medicine dispensing device 2 through the medicine outlet 13 and the medicine inlet 21, the medicine eccentrically falls into the side near the center of the circle of the first rotating disk 22. Under the action of friction, the first rotating disk 22 drives the medicine to move forward along the fixed vortex-type medicine channel 24 of the same rotation direction. Due to the continuous increase in the rotation radius, the linear velocity of each medicine is also increasing, that is, the distance traveled per unit time is also increasing, thereby widening the distance between the medicines. When the centrifugal force reaches a certain amount, the medicine will also stick to the outside of the vortex-type medicine channel 24, allowing non-circular medicines to move forward along its length. When the speed of the rotating disk is very slow, the medicine will stick to the inside of the vortex-type medicine channel 24, also allowing non-circular medicines to move forward along its length. In this way, at the vortex outlet 25, the medicine has been effectively separated, making the counting of the counting sensor 31 and the subsequent medicine channel control very accurate and reliable, achieving accurate medicine dispensing.

[0071] During actual use, if the medicine just falls into the center of the first rotating disk 22, the medicine may remain motionless. The cone 27 is fixed on the first rotating disk 22 so that the medicine can only fall to the bottom of the cone 27, thereby achieving the goal of the medicine falling off the center and on the side close to the center of the first rotating disk 22.

[0072] To more effectively separate any drugs of the same type, the rotating disk can be composed of multiple rotating disks, with the rotating disks closer to the outside rotating at faster speeds. The first rotating disk 22 and the second rotating disk 23 are connected at the rotating disk intersection 29, and the speed of the second rotating disk 23 is greater than the speed of the first rotating disk 22. In this embodiment 1, the number of rotating disks is two. Depending on the actual use, the rotating disks can be one or more concentric disks, as long as the rotating disk closest to the drug inlet has the lowest speed and the rotating disk closest to the drug outlet has the highest speed, and the speed gradually increases.

[0073] After the medications are completely arranged in a row or column and spaced apart by the medication dispensing device 2, they pass through the counting sensor 31 and medication dispensing channel 32 above the medication dispensing channel device 3. The shift channel 33 below the medication dispensing channel 32 rotates and, according to control logic, drops the medications into the outer compartment 433 or inner compartment 432 of the medication supply box 43. Excess medications are then loaded into the return bottle 44 through the corresponding return port 45 on the return bottle holder 42. Of course, the box core 431 of the medication supply box 43 also undergoes logical rotation and shifting based on the medication's dosage schedule and quantity. After the first medication of the required type is dispensed, the remaining medication is loaded into the recovery bottle 44 through the return port 45.

[0074] The shift channel 33 then returns to the position for the next medication dispensing, and the returned medicine bottle holder 42 rotates one position, aligning the next returned medicine bottle with the corresponding position of the shift channel 33. The medicine loading box 11 rotates to the next individual medicine loading compartment 12. Similarly, by controlling the relative rotation angle of the first medicine outlet 13 and the first medicine inlet 21, the speed at which the medicine enters the medicine dispensing device 2 is effectively increased or decreased, thereby controlling the flow rate of the medicine, and the dispensing process of the second medicine begins.

[0075] This process is repeated in this manner to complete the dispensing of all medications that need to be dispensed. After all medications have been dispensed, the operator removes the return bottles 44 one by one, replaces the caps, and reserves them for future use. The shift channel 33 rotates and shifts, causing the sealing device 34 above it to seal the medicine supply box inlet 117 above the fixed disk 41 below it. A dynamic seal is employed between the top of the medicine supply box 43 and the fixed disk 41, while the bottom can be covered and sealed by a shift cover 434. This ensures a complete seal of the medicine supply box, resolving the issue of sealed medication storage.

[0076] During the medicine dispensing process, if the quantity of a certain medicine is insufficient, the system will remind the operator to add the medicine, and the system will continue to operate after pressing the confirmation button.

[0077] At this time, each of the inner compartment 432 and outer compartment 433 of the medicine supply box 43 contains the precise dosage of medicine for one dose, and they are arranged in sequence according to the order of taking the medicine. The system will remind the patient on time based on the time, type and quantity of medicine taken that were input once when dispensing the medicine. After confirmation, the shift cover 434 moves one station from the sealed position to expose the first outlet 435 of the medicine supply box 43. The first dose of medicine in the outer compartment 433 falls into the medicine dispensing box 46, and the patient can easily get the medicine. The shift cover 434 returns to the sealed position. When supplying medicine for the second time, the shift cover 434 moves one station from the sealed position. The outer compartment 433 is empty, and the box core 431 needs to rotate one station. The second dose of medicine falls into the medicine dispensing box 46, and so on. When the medicine in outer compartment 433 of medicine supply box 43 is exhausted, shift cover 434 moves two positions from its sealed position, exposing second outlet 436 of medicine supply box 43. The medicine in inner compartment 432 falls into medicine dispensing box 46, allowing the patient to conveniently access the medicine. Shift cover 434 then returns to its sealed position. The next time medicine is dispensed, shift cover 434 moves two positions from its sealed position, leaving inner compartment 432 empty. The cartridge core 431 then rotates one position, allowing the corresponding dose of medicine to fall into medicine dispensing box 46, allowing the patient to conveniently access the medicine. Shift cover 434 then returns to its sealed position, and so on.

[0078] Of course, this medication dispensing and supply system has limitations during use. The number of medication types must be less than or equal to the number of individual medication compartments in the medication compartment 12. In this embodiment 1, the number of individual medication compartments is 8, which means that a maximum of 8 types of solid medication can be processed. The number of medications that can be taken with this system must be less than or equal to the total number of inner compartments 432 and outer compartments 433. The medication supply box 43 in this embodiment 1 has a total of 60 compartments, which means that a maximum of 60 medications can be dispensed. Obviously, these parameters can be increased or decreased according to actual needs. If the parameters set by the operator exceed the maximum capacity, the system will prompt a reminder and request a change.

[0079] The system can divide the medicine for many days at a time. The person taking the medicine only needs to press the confirmation button when reminded, pick up the medicine automatically given by the system and take it. The reminder information will be displayed on the display screen, and sound and / or flashing light reminders can be added when the medication information is entered. After each dose, the system will display the remaining number of doses and remind you to pick up the medicine on time when the remaining amount is less than a certain amount. The person who divides the medicine can be a trusted relative, friend or caregiver, and only needs to perform the medicine dividing operation regularly. For example, if the medicine box has 60 compartments and the medicine is taken twice a day, the medicine only needs to be divided once every 30 days. This will be a great blessing for people with decreased intelligence, mobility difficulties or restrictions, and the elderly, and is especially suitable for people who take medicine at home.

[0080] In order to meet the more advanced needs of some users, such as Figure 6As shown, this medication dispensing and delivery system can also communicate with a selected mobile client via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Using the smartphone's powerful touchscreen interface, the operator can conveniently enter medication information, select different medication reminder methods, and choose who should receive notifications regarding missed medications or medication pickup. This allows for remote system configuration, expert system reminders regarding proper dosage, and the collection of medication-related data. Even when the patient is away from the medication delivery system, the mobile client can remain at their side. System settings allow for system reminders, mobile client reminders, or both. If a patient misses medication after a certain timeframe following a system reminder, the system can notify a pre-defined person. When the next medication dose is due, the system awaits the operator's decision: postpone or dispense the medication, which the operator can then decide. When the number of remaining doses falls below a certain threshold, the system notifies a pre-defined person to retrieve the medication and the date and time for the next medication dispensing system operation. The medication dispensing and delivery system can also facilitate premature medication administration at the touch of a button.

[0081] The drug distribution and supply system will promptly display any error information, and when power is restored after a sudden power outage, the system will continue to operate from the state before the power outage.

[0082] Example 2

[0083] See also Figures 7 to 9 The difference between Example 2 of the present invention and Example 1 is that the medicine supply box in Example 1 is a fixed medicine box, while the medicine supply box in Example 2 is a portable medicine box, which is particularly suitable for people who take medicine at work, on business trips, and while traveling.

[0084] The specific structure of the above-mentioned portable medicine box is as follows: the medicine supply box includes a base 122, a rotating shaft 121 and a portable medicine box 123, the rotating shaft 121 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the fixed plate 41, the base 122 is movably connected to the rotating shaft 121 and can rotate around it, and the portable medicine box 123 is movably connected to the base 122.

[0085] like Figure 8 As shown, the portable medicine box 123 includes a box core 127, an upper cover 130, a medicine dispensing port 125 and a medicine dispensing port upper cover 128. The box core 127 is provided with an inner ring 133, a medicine grid 126 and an outer ring 134. The upper cover 130 is screwed onto the base of the portable medicine box 123 and the box core 127 can rotate therein. The medicine in the medicine grid 126 is poured out from the medicine dispensing port 125, and the medicine dispensing port upper cover 128 is located above the medicine dispensing port 125.

[0086] In addition, the portable medicine box 123 is also provided with a display screen 131, an operation button 132 and a confirmation button 129. The display screen 131 and the operation button 132 are fixed inside the portable medicine box, and the display screen 131 can be seen through the transparent upper cover 130. Only when manually dispensing medicines is it necessary to unscrew the upper cover 130 and touch the operation button 132 for setting. The confirmation button 129 can be directly touched through the hole on the upper cover 130.

[0087] The principle of drug distribution and supply is the same as that of Example 1, except that the drug supply box is a portable drug supply box. Figure 7 As shown, a rotating shaft 121 is fixed to the bottom of the fixed disk 41, and one end of the base 122 can rotate and move with the rotating shaft 121 as the axis. The medicine channel 124 is stuck under the fixed disk 41 and corresponds to the medicine box inlet 117. First, the base 122 is rotated to the outside, and the portable medicine box 123 can be easily stuck on the base 122 and electrically connected to the system through the card slot. Then, the medicine dispensing port cover 128 is opened and the base 122 is rotated to the inside so that the medicine dispensing port 125 is aligned with the channel 124. During the medicine dispensing process, the medicine enters the medicine compartment 126 of the portable medicine box 123 through the medicine box inlet 117 on the fixed disk 41, the channel 124 located below it, and the medicine dispensing port 125 of the opened portable medicine box 123. The medicine box core 127 of the portable medicine box 123 also rotates accordingly according to the system control logic. The rest of the process is the same as in Example 1. However, due to size and weight considerations, the number of compartments in the portable medicine box 123, and therefore the number of medications that can be administered, is much smaller than in a fixed medicine box. The portable medicine box 123 in this Example 2 has 28 compartments, which can accommodate most people's weekly medication needs. During medication dispensing, the system inputs the medication time, type, quantity, and other information at once, which is also transmitted to the portable medicine box 123. After dispensing, the operator rotates the base 122 outward, removes the portable medicine box 123, and replaces the medicine dispensing port cover 128 on the medicine dispensing port 125 to seal the medicine box. A dynamic sealing ring is installed between the inner and outer rings 133 and 134 of the medicine box core 127 and the medicine box cover 130. If the portable medicine box 123 uses a rechargeable battery, the base 122 can also charge the portable medicine box 123.

[0088] When it is time to take medicine, the portable medicine box 123 will remind the patient on time and display relevant information on the display screen 131. At the same time, sound and / or flashing light reminders can be added when inputting medication information. The patient can see the display screen 131 through the transparent portable medicine box cover 130. After pressing the confirmation button 129, the portable medicine box 123 will rotate the compartment containing the medicine to the position of the medicine dispensing port 125. The patient opens the medicine dispensing port cover 128, pours out the medicine, and then closes the medicine dispensing port cover 128 to take the medicine on time and accurately.

[0089] Also in order to meet the more advanced needs of some users, such as Figure 7-9 As shown, its input and system settings are the same as those of the fixed medicine box system in Example 1. The input related information will also be transmitted to the portable medicine box. After the medicine is dispensed, the mobile client communicates with the portable medicine box. Other functions are also the same. The system can also press button 129 to take medicine in advance if necessary.

[0090] When the portable medicine box 123 is automatically dispensing medicine, only the confirmation button / advance medication button 129 can be pressed from the outside. In special circumstances, the user can also choose manual medication dispensing according to the following process: first, unscrew the upper cover 130 to open it, exposing the medicine box core 127 and the operation button 132, and use the operation button 132 and the confirmation button 129 to enter the time, type and quantity of medication. After completion, the display screen 131 will indicate the manual medication quantity and the position of the medicine grid for the first medicine. After completion, press the confirmation button 129 to start manual medication dispensing of the second medicine until it is completed. Screw the upper cover 130 to the portable medicine box 123, confirm that the medicine dispensing port upper cover 128 is closed, and the other functions of the portable medicine box are the same after starting the system. Similarly, the settings of the portable medicine box can also be completed through the mobile phone client. Therefore, if manual medication dispensing is selected, the portable medicine box can be used independently.

[0091] The medication dispensing and supply systems of Examples 1 and 2 eliminate the possibility of medication dispensing errors. The dispensing operator's hands do not come into contact with the medication, eliminating the possibility of contamination from manual medication dispensing. All medication-contacting parts can be easily removed or opened for cleaning, easily assembled, and prevented from being incorrectly installed, achieving a clean medication dispensing and storage environment.

[0092] Example 3

[0093] like Figure 10 As shown, the difference between this embodiment 3 and embodiment 1 is that the vortex-shaped drug channel 24 can also be composed of polygons. Its working principle is the same as that of embodiment 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0094] Example 4

[0095] like Figure 11 As shown, the difference between this embodiment 4 and embodiment 1 is that the medicine separating device is arranged into at least two levels of separation bodies, multiple separation bodies are connected in sequence up and down, and the medicine is separated from top to bottom through multiple separation bodies in sequence, and the separation speed of the separation body located below is greater than the separation speed of the separation body located above, and the separation speed is the vibration or rotation speed of the separation body.

[0096] The drug dispensing device in Example 4 is configured as a three-stage separation body. The separation body is a separation box, and the three stages are a primary separation body, a secondary separation body, and a tertiary separation body, which are connected in sequence. Each of the separation bodies is provided with a drug inlet and outlet. The drug enters the three separation bodies in sequence, entering the inlet of the primary separation body and rotating out of its outlet, automatically entering the inlet of the secondary separation body and rotating out of its outlet, and then automatically entering the inlet of the tertiary separation body and rotating out of its outlet. The speed of the secondary separation is greater than that of the primary separation, and the speed of the tertiary separation is greater than that of the secondary separation.

[0097] like Figure 11 As shown, the "slow-in, fast-out" fully automatic drug dispensing mechanism is implemented using a three-stage separation box. Drug 4 enters the primary inlet 413 of the primary separation box 410 and is rotated out of the primary outlet 414. It then automatically enters the secondary inlet 415 of the secondary separation box 411 and is rotated out of the secondary outlet 416. It then automatically enters the tertiary inlet 417 of the tertiary separation box 412 and is rotated out of the tertiary outlet 418. The speed of the secondary separation box 411 is greater than that of the primary separation box 410, and the speed of the tertiary separation box 412 is greater than that of the secondary separation box 411. This effectively increases the distance between the drugs, achieving precise drug dispensing.

[0098] Of course, in actual use, each stage of separation body can adopt a combination of a fixed vortex and a rotating disk, or it can simply be realized by a rotating disk alone. The drive of multi-stage separation can also use a motor plus different gear reduction ratios to achieve different speeds. The other principles are the same as those of Example 1 and Example 2, and will not be repeated here.

[0099] Example 5

[0100] like Figure 12 As shown, the difference between this embodiment 5 and embodiment 4 is that the medicine dispensing device is configured as a three-stage separation body, and the above-mentioned separation body is a separation disk, such as Figure 12 As shown, the medicine 500 enters at the entrance 529 of the first rotating disk 520, and falls into the second rotating disk 522 by its own weight along the first channel 521 driven by the first rotating disk 520, falls into the third rotating disk 524 by its own weight along the second channel 523 driven by the second rotating disk 522, and moves forward to the exit 526 along the third channel 525 driven by the third rotating disk 524. The speed of the first rotating disk 520 is the slowest, the speed of the second rotating disk 523 is greater than the speed of the first rotating disk 520, and so on. In this way, the medicine 500 can be effectively separated to achieve precise medicine distribution. Similarly, the drive of the multi-stage rotating disk can use a motor with different gear reduction ratios to achieve different speeds. Other medicine distribution and supply principles are the same as those of the above-mentioned embodiment 4, and will not be repeated here.

[0101] Example 6

[0102] like Figure 13 As shown, the difference between this embodiment 6 and embodiment 4 is that the medicine separation cavity is configured as a three-stage separation body, and the above-mentioned separation body is a conveyor belt, such as Figure 12 As shown, the medicine 600 enters the front of the first conveyor belt 627, moves forward under the drive of the first conveyor belt 627 and moves forward in an orderly manner under the action of the first scraper 628 until it falls onto the second conveyor belt 629 by its own weight, moves forward under the drive of the second conveyor belt 629 and moves forward in an orderly manner under the action of the second scraper 630 until it falls onto the third conveyor belt 631 by its own weight, moves forward under the drive of the third conveyor belt 631 and moves forward in an orderly manner under the action of the third scraper 632 until it reaches the exit. The speed of the first conveyor belt 627 is the slowest, the speed of the second conveyor belt 629 is greater than the speed of the first conveyor belt 627, and so on. In this way, the medicines can be effectively separated to achieve precise medicine distribution. Other principles of medicine distribution and supply are the same as those of the above-mentioned embodiment 4 and will not be repeated here.

[0103] Example 7

[0104] like Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the difference between this embodiment 7 and embodiment 4 is that the separation body is a vortex channel, and the vortex channel is provided with at least one toggle plate, an inner vortex, a rotating shaft and an outer vortex, as shown in FIG. Figure 14 As shown, the medicine 700 moves forward along the inner vortex 734 driven by the rotating disk 733. If the toggle plate 736 turns inward around the rotating axis 735, as long as the friction between the medicine 700 and the rotating disk 733 is greater than the centrifugal force of the medicine 700, the medicine 700 will continue to rotate along the same radius with the rotating disk 733 after leaving the toggle plate 736. Figure 15 As shown, if the toggle plate 736 rotates outward about the rotation axis 735, the medicine 700 will flow along the toggle plate 736 into the outer vortex 737. By actively controlling the frequency at which the toggle plate 736 rotates outward, the distance between the medicines can be effectively increased, achieving precise medicine separation. Similarly, multiple toggle plates can be used to achieve even better separation. The remaining principles of medicine separation and supply are the same as those of Example 4 above and will not be repeated here.

[0105] Example 8

[0106] like Figure 16 As shown, the difference between this embodiment 8 and embodiment 4 is that the separation body is an active shift fork and an active shift plate and their mutual cooperation. Figure 16As shown, in a preferred embodiment, medication 800 falls near the center of rotating disk 838 and, driven by fork 839 and rotating disk 838, initially enters the range of first shift plate 840. If first shift plate 840 rotates inward about first rotation axis 841, medication 800 will continue to rotate along the current radius with rotating disk 838, as long as the friction between medication 800 and rotating disk 838 is greater than the centrifugal force of medication 800. If first shift plate 840 rotates outward about first rotation axis 841, medication 800 will then follow the first shift plate 840 and enter the radius of second shift plate 842. If second shift plate 842 rotates inward about second rotation axis 843, medication 800 will continue to rotate along the current radius with rotating disk 838. If second shift plate 842 rotates outward about second rotation axis 843, medication 800 will follow the second shift plate 842 and enter the radius of third shift plate 844. If the third toggle plate 844 rotates inward about the third rotation axis 845, the medication 800 will continue to rotate along the current radius with the rotating disk 838. If the third toggle plate 844 rotates outward about the third rotation axis 845, the medication 800 will enter the radius of the outlet along the third toggle plate 844 and reach the outlet 847 via the baffle 846. Here, the distances between the first rotation axis 841, the second rotation axis 843, and the third rotation axis 845 and the center of the rotating disk 838 increase in sequence, but the distance between the first rotation axis 841 and the center of the rotating disk 838 is greater than the outer contour of the shift fork 839. By actively controlling the frequency at which the first toggle plate 840, the second toggle plate 842, and the third toggle plate 844 rotate outward, the distance between the medications can be effectively increased, achieving precise medication distribution. Obviously, the number of toggle plates can be one or more. The other principles of medication distribution and supply are the same as those of the above-mentioned embodiment 4 and will not be repeated here.

[0107] From the above multiple embodiments, it can be seen that the present invention also provides a method for automatic separation of solid medicines, which adopts a slow-in, fast-out method to gradually increase the forward speed of the medicine entering the medicine dispensing device along the medicine dispensing channel. The increase in the forward speed of the medicine may not be continuous, and it reaches the maximum at the outlet of the medicine dispensing device, thereby achieving effective separation between the medicines. The movement of the medicine is achieved by a partial or complete combination of five factors: friction, centrifugal force, gravity, mechanical prying, and limiting the direction of movement in the medicine dispensing channel. This method is also applicable to the separation of any solid matter.

[0108] Different from the existing technology, the fully automatic medicine dispensing and supplying system of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0109] (1) Any solid medicine can be separated and processed by the principle, structure and method of automatic medicine separation with slow in and fast out. There are no requirements for the size, shape and weight of the solid medicine. That is, as long as it is a solid medicine, it can be separated and processed.

[0110] (2) You only need to input the time, type and quantity of medication once, and the medication can be automatically, accurately and efficiently packaged into sealed medicine boxes as required, and the remaining medication will be automatically returned to the return bottle. It is easy to use, safe and highly accurate.

[0111] (3) When medication is needed, the system will remind the patient on time and automatically provide medication after confirmation. If medication is not taken for a certain period of time, the system will notify the relevant personnel set in advance.

[0112] (4) The medicine boxes are sealed, and the original medicine bottles are also sealed after the original caps are put on, which solves the problem of sealed storage of medicines.

[0113] (5) The parts that come into contact with the medicine can be easily disassembled for cleaning or opened for cleaning, and can be easily installed together and cannot be installed incorrectly, thus achieving a clean medicine distribution and storage environment.

[0114] (6) Fixed medicine boxes and portable medicine boxes meet the needs of different medication groups, and the portable medicine box can also be manually divided and used independently.

[0115] (7) After the power is restored, the system will automatically return to the state before the power outage and continue to operate.

[0116] (8) It eliminates the possibility of errors in medicine dispensing and avoids the possibility of contamination during manual medicine dispensing, making medicine dispensing and medication very convenient, greatly increasing the proportion of taking medicine on time and accurately, and has great medical value, economic value and use value.

[0117] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
