[0038] The control signal of the controller is transmitted via wired or wireless mode of LAN.

[0039] The working principle of the capsule drug storage and quantitative drug dispensing device of the present invention is as follows:

[0040] The motor 1 drives the first gear shaft to rotate when it is working. The first cylindrical gear 2 and the first bevel gear 5 are installed on the first gear shaft. The first cylindrical gear 2 and the second cylindrical gear 3 are externally meshed to form a first transmission device. The first bevel gear 5 and the second bevel gear 6 are meshed to form a second transmission device.

[0041] The motor 1 drives two transmission devices at the same time. The first transmission device transmits the rotational motion to the rotating blades 4 through the second gear shaft, thereby realizing the continuous rotational motion of the rotating blades 4, thereby prompting the capsule medicine in the medicine storage box 8 to fall smoothly into the slide 10 through the groove 7, and the capsule medicine rolls along the slide 10 to the front of the rubber wheel 9.

[0042] The second transmission device transmits the rotational motion to the rubber wheel 9 through the second bevel gear 6, so that the rubber wheel 9 continuously rotates. The six capsule grooves of the rubber wheel 9 receive the capsule medicine from the interface of the slideway 10, and after rotation, they are transferred to the medicine outlet 11, and the capsule medicine falls from the medicine outlet 11.

[0043] An infrared sensor is provided at the medicine outlet 11 to count the capsule medicines. The infrared sensor transmits the information to the controller, and the controller controls the motor 1 to realize the function of quantitative medicine dispensing through the running state of the motor 1.

[0044] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can usually be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] The working process of the capsule medicine storage and quantitative medicine dispensing device of the present invention is specifically as follows:

[0046] The medicine storage device is used to store the purchased capsule medicine. When the user needs to take medicine at a certain time, he selects the number of capsules through the operation panel of the controller, and then waits for the medicine delivery device and the medicine dispensing device to deliver the capsules, which improves the efficiency of taking medicine, avoids taking too much or too little medicine, and improves the medical effect of the user.

[0047] When dispensing medicine, the controller touch screen control or wireless control is used, the motor 1 is energized, and the first cylindrical gear 2 and the first bevel gear 5 are rotated through the first gear shaft, thereby driving the second cylindrical gear 3. The rotating blades 4 and the second cylindrical gear 3 are installed on the second gear shaft, so the rotating blades 4 will rotate at the same speed as the second cylindrical gear 3. The rotating blades 4 have four blades, and the blades drive the capsule medicine to fall into the slot 7. The capsule medicine rolls along the inclined slide 10 to the front of the rubber wheel 9. The rubber wheel 9 has six capsule slots. Through continuous rotation, the capsule medicine will naturally fall into the empty capsule slot. After the rubber wheel 9 rotates a certain angle, the capsule medicine arrives at the medicine outlet 11. Only one capsule is discharged each time. The infrared sensor at the medicine outlet 11 counts the capsules, and the infrared sensor feeds the count back to the controller. After receiving the information, the controller compares it with the set number. After reaching the number, the controller turns off the first motor 1, thereby realizing accurate dispensing of capsule medicine.

[0048] In summary, the capsule-based drug storage and quantitative drug dispensing device of the present invention improves the efficiency of users in finding and counting drugs, makes it convenient for people to take drugs, and is suitable for any group of people who need to take drugs.
