With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the degree of automation of medical devices has also been rapidly improved, and intelligent intravenous drug admixture centers have been successively established in major hospitals across the country. As one of the important automated devices in the intravenous drug admixture center in a hospital, the infusion bag sorting device has been gradually used in more and more large hospitals in our country.

[0003] At present, the sorting devices on the market are generally laminated sorting devices, that is, the upper conveyor belt and the lower conveyor belt are arranged side by side up and down. The upper conveyor belt and the lower conveyor belt respectively correspond to a layer of station frames. The upper conveyor belt and the lower conveyor belt are connected by a connecting mechanism. Sorting mechanisms are respectively arranged on the upper conveyor belt and the lower conveyor belt. If the station frame corresponding to the drug is the upper layer station frame, the drug will be sorted by the sorting mechanism corresponding to the upper conveyor belt to the corresponding station frame on the upper conveyor belt; if the station frame corresponding to the drug is the lower layer station frame, the drug will be conveyed from the upper conveyor belt to the lower conveyor belt through the connecting mechanism, and then sorted by the sorting mechanism corresponding to the lower conveyor belt to the corresponding station frame.

[0060] In order to illustrate the technical solutions described in the present invention, the following will be described in detail with reference to specific accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a sorting mechanism 1, including:

[0062] A bracket assembly 11, which includes a first mounting bracket 111 and two second mounting brackets 112 that are disposed on one side of the first mounting bracket 111 and spaced apart;

[0063] A first sorting unit 12, which is disposed on the first mounting bracket 111 and between the two second mounting brackets 112, and the first sorting unit 12 is used for the first sorting of medicines (such as infusion bags, etc.);

[0064] Two second sorting units 13, which are respectively disposed on the two second mounting brackets 112, are located below the first sorting unit 12, and the first sorting unit 12 is located in the area between the two second sorting units 13. The second sorting unit 13 is used for the second sorting of medicines; and

[0065] The control component 14 is disposed on the first mounting frame 111, and the first sorting unit 12 and the second sorting unit 13 are electrically connected to the control component 14. The control component 14 includes a driver, a driver seat and a driving power supply. Figure 1 As shown, the control assembly 14 of this embodiment is disposed on a side of the first mounting frame 111 away from the second mounting frame 112 , and the control assembly 14 is mounted on the first mounting frame 111 .

[0066] In this embodiment, the first mounting frame 111 is a hollow structure, and the first sorting unit 12 is disposed in the first mounting frame 111 .

[0067] The sorting mechanism 1 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a bracket assembly 11, a first sorting unit 12, two second sorting units 13 and a control assembly 14. The bracket assembly 11 includes a first mounting frame 111 and two second mounting frames 112 connected to the first mounting frame 111 and arranged at intervals. The first sorting unit 12 is arranged on the first mounting frame 111. The first sorting unit 12 is used for performing a first sorting of drugs. The two second sorting units 13 are respectively arranged on the two second mounting frames 112 and are located below the first sorting unit 12. The second sorting unit 13 is used for performing a second sorting of drugs. After the first sorting unit 12 completes the first sorting of drugs, the second sorting unit 13 can perform a second sorting of the already sorted drugs, that is, the sorting mechanism 1 of the present invention can realize secondary sorting. When the sorting mechanism 1 is applied to a stacked sorting device, it is only necessary to set the sorting mechanism 1 on the upper conveyor belt, and there is no need to set the sorting mechanism 1 on the lower conveyor belt, which effectively simplifies the structure of the sorting device and reduces the manufacturing cost of the sorting device.

[0068] Please also read Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the first sorting unit 12 includes a first rotating shaft 121 and a second rotating shaft 122 pivotally connected to the inner side of the first mounting frame 111, a first transmission belt 123 sleeved on the first rotating shaft 121 and the second rotating shaft 122, at least one first shifting plate 124 fixed on the first transmission belt 123, and a first driving assembly 125 for driving the first rotating shaft 121 to rotate;

[0069] The second sorting unit 13 includes a third rotating shaft 131 pivotally connected to the second mounting frame 112, a second shifting plate 132 with one end fixed to the third rotating shaft 131, and a second driving assembly 134 for driving the third rotating shaft 131 to rotate; the second shifting plate 132 has a free end and a fixed end, and the fixed end of the second shifting plate 132 is fixed to the third rotating shaft 131;

[0070] The first driving component 125 and the second driving component 134 are respectively electrically connected to the control component 14. Among them, the shapes of the first toggling plate 124 and the second toggling plate 132 can be, but are not limited to, plate-shaped.

At the same time, the second rotating shaft 122 also starts to rotate. The first toggling plates 124 on the side of the first transmission belt 123 located at the second sorting unit 13 will toggle the drugs to complete the first sorting of the drugs. After the first sorting of the drugs is completed, the drugs will enter the second sorting unit 13, and the second driving component 134 drives the third rotating shaft 131 to rotate, causing the second toggling plate 132 to swing accordingly.

Among them, the sorting device further includes a control module, and the control module is electrically connected to the control component 14 of the sorting mechanism 1.

[0084] In this embodiment, twenty spaced-apart receiving cavities 21 are respectively formed on both sides of the body 2 corresponding to the upper conveyor belt 31. The twenty receiving cavities 21 on each side corresponding to the upper conveyor belt 31 are divided into upper and lower layers, with ten receiving cavities 21 provided in each layer. The multiple receiving cavities 21 in the upper layer correspond one by one to the multiple receiving cavities 21 in the lower layer, and their projections overlap in the direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction. A barcode scanner (not shown) is also provided on the body 2, and a feeding sensor (not shown) is provided at the feeding trough. Both the barcode scanner and the feeding sensor are connected to the control module. First, the medical staff uses the barcode scanner to read the information of the medicine, and then puts the medicine into the feeding trough 23. The feeding sensor identifies the medicine put in and transmits the information of the medicine to the control module. The control module confirms the working position frame 4 corresponding to the medicine, and the medicine enters the upper conveyor belt 31 and is sorted by the sorting mechanism 1. Among them, the first sorting unit 12 is used to sort the medicine to any one side of the upper conveyor belt 31, and the second sorting unit 13 is used to sort the medicine to the working position frame 4 in the upper or lower layer on the arbitrary side, thus completing the sorting of the medicine. When the medical staff misplaces the medicine, that is, the medicine does not belong to any of the working position frames 4, at this time, the medicine will pass through the entire upper conveyor belt 31 and then enter the lower conveyor belt 32 through the connecting mechanism 5. A working position frame 4 is provided at the end of the lower conveyor belt 32, and the medicine will be conveyed to the working position frame 4 at the end of the lower conveyor belt 32.

[0085] The sorting device of the present invention includes the sorting mechanism 1 as described above. The sorting mechanism 1 includes a bracket assembly 11, a first sorting unit 12, two second sorting units 13, and a control component 14. The bracket assembly 11 includes a first mounting frame 111 and two second mounting frames 112 that are connected to and spaced apart from the first mounting frame 111. The first sorting unit 12 is provided on the first mounting frame 111. The first sorting unit 12 is used for the first sorting of the medicine. The two second sorting units 13 are respectively provided on the two second mounting frames 112 and are located below the first sorting unit 12. The second sorting unit 13 is used for the second sorting of the medicine. After the first sorting unit 12 completes the first sorting of the medicine, the second sorting unit 13 can perform the second sorting on the already sorted medicine. That is, the sorting mechanism 1 of the present invention can achieve secondary sorting. When this sorting mechanism 1 is applied to a stacked sorting device, only the sorting mechanism 1 needs to be provided on the upper conveyor belt 31, and there is no need to provide the sorting mechanism 1 on the lower conveyor belt 32, effectively simplifying the structure of the sorting device and reducing the manufacturing cost of the sorting device.

[0086] In one embodiment, a weighing module is provided at the bottom of the receiving cavity 21. The weighing module is used for real-time weighing of the weight of the working position frame 4. The weighing module is electrically connected to the control module. When the medicine accurately falls into the working position frame 4, the weight of the working position frame 4 will increase, so as to confirm whether the medicine has fallen into the corresponding working position frame 4.

[0087] It should be noted that, as Figures 6 to 8 shown, an extension plate 7 and a slideway 8 are provided between the upper conveyor belt 31 and the second sorting unit 13, and the extension plate 7 is located above the slideway 8. As Figure 7 shown, when the second toggle plate 132 is located inside the sorting mechanism 1, the first conveyor belt 123 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, and the first toggle plate 124 will toggle the drugs on the upper conveyor belt 31 to the extension plate 7, and then slide into the upper working position frame 4 along the second toggle plate 132; as Figure 8 shown, when the second toggle plate 132 is located outside the sorting mechanism 1, the first conveyor belt 123 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, and the first toggle plate 124 will toggle the drugs on the upper conveyor belt 31 to the extension plate 7, and then fall into the slideway 8 and slide into the lower working position frame 4, so that the sorting mechanism 1 of the present invention can complete secondary sorting.

[0088] The above are only optional embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
