[0006] Based on the above, the medicine feeding mechanism includes a second mounting frame fixed on the second vertical driving device, and the second mounting frame is provided with a vertical plate on one side close to the medicine rack. A lifting plate is slidably provided on the second mounting frame, and the lifting plate is inclined downward to the vertical plate. The lifting plate is driven up and down by a lifting mechanism arranged on the second mounting frame.

[0007] Based on the above, the lifting mechanism includes a screw rod threadedly connected to the lifting plate, and the screw rod is driven to rotate by a second servo motor.

[0008] Based on the above, the outside of the cabinet is provided with a medicine receiving mechanism corresponding to the medicine outlet, and the medicine receiving mechanism includes a medicine receiving rack fixed on the cabinet, and the medicine receiving rack is provided with a second conveyor belt driven by a second reduction motor, and the left and right sides and one end of the second conveyor belt are provided with a second enclosure.

[0012] The present invention has outstanding substantive features and significant progress compared to the prior art. Specifically, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. In the present invention, the medicine rack is tilted so that the medicines in the cargo aisle slide down by gravity and abut against the block at the front end of the cargo aisle. The structural design of the medicine taking mechanism can smoothly take out the medicines at the front end of the cargo aisle and make the medicines slide down and temporarily store them on the first conveyor belt. In addition, the medicine taking mechanism can also take out multiple medicines at one time. This structural design is simple, practical and has high medicine taking efficiency.

[0014] 2. In the present invention, the medicines temporarily stored on the first conveyor belt are discharged outward from the medicine outlet. In the process of the medicines falling, the second conveyor belt in the medicine receiving mechanism is used to receive the medicines. In the process of receiving the medicines, the second conveyor belt rotates toward the second enclosure. This structural design allows the medicines to be efficiently discharged out of the cabinet and temporarily stored outside the cabinet, making it easy for operators to pick them up.

[0015] 3. In the present invention, the structural design of the medicine loading mechanism can make the medicines on the lifting plate slide down to the cargo channel on the medicine shelf by their own gravity, and the structural design of the medicine shelf can also make the medicines slide naturally to the front end of the medicine shelf. Compared with the prior art, this structural design is simple, practical and has high medicine loading efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] The medicine feeding structure includes a second X-axis 12 and a second Y-axis 13 arranged on the rear side of the medicine rack 6. The second Y-axis 13 moves on the second X-axis 12 through a second horizontal driving device, and moves on the second Y-axis through a second vertical driving device. A medicine feeding mechanism 14 for feeding medicines into the cargo channel is provided, and a side wall of the cabinet 1 is provided with a medicine feeding port 10 for feeding medicines into the medicine feeding mechanism 14.

[0029] The medicine feeding mechanism 14 includes a second mounting frame 141 fixed on the second vertical driving device, and a vertical plate 142 is provided on the side of the second mounting frame 141 close to the medicine rack 6. A lifting plate 143 is slidably provided on the second mounting frame 141, and the lifting plate 143 is inclined downward to the vertical plate 142. The lifting plate 143 is driven to move up and down by a lifting mechanism arranged on the second mounting frame 141.

[0030] The lifting mechanism is used to drive the lifting plate 143 to move up and down, and includes a screw rod threadedly connected to the lifting plate 143, and the screw rod is driven to rotate by a second servo motor.

[0031] In order to facilitate the reception of medicines dropped from the first conveyor belt 51, a medicine receiving mechanism 2 corresponding to the medicine outlet 8 is provided on the outside of the cabinet 1, and the medicine receiving mechanism 2 includes a medicine receiving rack 21 fixed on the cabinet 1, and a second conveyor belt 22 driven by a second reduction motor is provided on the medicine receiving rack 21. In order to prevent the medicines from escaping from the second conveyor belt 22, second enclosure plates 23 are provided on the left and right sides and one end of the second conveyor belt 22.

[0032] To facilitate the medicine taking operation, the first horizontal drive device, the second vertical drive device, the first servo motor 55 , the first reduction motor and the second reduction motor are all electrically connected to the first controller 9 disposed outside the cabinet 1 .

[0033] To facilitate the medicine feeding operation, the second horizontal drive device, the second vertical drive device, and the second servo motor are all electrically connected to a second controller 11 disposed outside the cabinet 1 .

[0034] During the process of loading the medicines, in order to ensure that the medicines can slide smoothly into the cargo channel, the inclination angles of the medicine rack 6 and the lifting plate 143 are designed to be 24-30°.

[0035] To ensure that the medicines can be taken out smoothly and slide onto the first conveyor belt 51 during the medicine taking operation, the inclination angle of the lifting plate 58 is not less than the inclination angle of the medicine rack 6. In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the lifting plate 58 is 5° greater than the inclination angle of the medicine rack 6.

[0036] The specific working principle of the present invention is as follows: during the medicine taking operation, the first controller 9 controls the medicine taking mechanism 5 to move to the corresponding medicine storage aisle position, and then the first servo motor 55 controls the telescopic frame 54 to extend, so that the picking plate 58 extends to lift the medicine at the front end of the aisle and makes it slide onto the first conveyor belt 51. At this time, the first reduction motor controls the first conveyor belt 51 to rotate toward the first enclosure 52. After the medicine taking action is completed, the first servo motor 55 controls the telescopic frame 54 to reset, and the medicine taking mechanism 5 moves to the medicine outlet 8. The first reduction motor reverses, so that the medicine slides onto the second conveyor belt 22. At this time, the second reduction motor drives the second conveyor belt 22 to rotate toward the second enclosure 23.

[0037] During the medication operation, the medicines to be stored are first placed on the lifting plate 143, and then the second controller 11 controls the medication mechanism 14 to move to the corresponding medicine aisle position, and then the second servo motor drives the lifting plate 143 to rise. When the height of the lifting plate 143 is higher than the vertical plate 142, the medicines on the lifting plate 143 slide into the aisle by gravity, and the medication is completed.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the present invention can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the technical solution for protection of the present invention.
