DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a medicine dispensing device, including a base 1, a lifting component, a medicine dispensing box 2 and a detection component;

[0030] The lifting component is arranged between the base 1 and the medicine box 2 to adjust the height of the medicine box 2, and the detection component checks whether the medicine in the medicine box 2 is consistent with the required medicine;

[0031] The medicine dispensing box 2 comprises a small electric latch 3, a surrounding plate 4 and a bottom plate 5. The surrounding plate 4 is transparent from top to bottom. The bottom plate 5 blocks the lower opening of the surrounding plate 4. One side of the bottom plate 5 is hinged to the surrounding plate 4, and the other side of the bottom plate 5 is locked with the surrounding plate 4 through the small electric latch 3.

[0032] Specifically, the small electric bolt lock 3 can be replaced by an electromagnetic suction lock or the like.

[0033] As an optional embodiment, the lifting assembly includes a lower guide rail 6, a scissor frame 7, an upper guide rail 8 and a driver;

[0034] The lower guide rail 6 is fixedly connected to the base 1, the upper guide rail 8 is fixedly connected to the enclosure 4, the upper guide rail 8 and the lower guide rail 6 are horizontally arranged, one side of the lower end of the scissor frame 7 is slidably connected to the lower guide rail 6 and the other side is hinged to the lower guide rail 6, one side of the upper end of the scissor frame 7 is slidably connected to the upper guide rail 8 and the other side is hinged to the upper guide rail 8, and the driver drives the scissor frame 7 to perform a contraction movement.

[0035] As an optional implementation, the driver includes a pull rod, a coupling and a stepper motor 9, the stepper motor 9 is fixedly arranged on the base 1, one end of the pull rod is connected to the output end of the stepper motor 9 through the coupling, and the other end of the pull rod is hinged to the scissors frame 7.

[0036] Specifically, the stepper motor 9 can be replaced by other types of motors or adopt power sources such as electric push rods, cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, etc.; the scissor frame 7 can be replaced by a linear module, multiple groups of electric cylinders, etc.

[0037] As an optional implementation, a medicine discharging slide rail 10 is vertically arranged on the base 1 , and a matching sliding block is fixedly arranged on the side of the medicine discharging box 2 .

[0038] As an optional implementation, a hinge 11 is provided at the hinged joint between the enclosure 4 and the base plate 5 .

[0039] As an optional implementation, the detection component includes a weighing sensor 12 and a weighing support plate 13 . The weighing sensor 12 is fixedly arranged above the bottom plate 5 , and the weighing support plate 13 is arranged above the weighing sensor 12 .

[0040] As an optional implementation, the detection component includes a reflected grating 14 or a reflected photoelectric or diffuse reflection photoelectric to detect whether all the medicines have been taken out. During the process of consumers taking medicines, if the medicines in the medicine box 2 are not taken out, the medicine vending machine continues to give voice or photoelectric prompts to prevent consumers from missing out on the medicines they choose to buy.

[0041] Specifically, visual recognition can be used to collect data and compare it with the correct drug information (visual recognition and weighing sensor 12 can be used alone or in combination); in addition, visual recognition and weighing sensor 12 can also be used to detect whether all drugs have been taken out by consumers.

[0042] A recovery device includes the above-mentioned medicine dispensing device and a recovery medicine box 15, wherein the recovery medicine box 15 is arranged below the medicine outlet box 2, close to the side where the bottom plate 5 is turned over. A guard plate is arranged above the enclosure plate 4 of the medicine outlet box 2, and the opening of the guard plate gradually increases from bottom to top, forming a trumpet-shaped shape to ensure that the medicine can fall into the medicine outlet box 2; guide ribs 16 are arranged on both sides of the bottom plate 5 (in the turning direction) of the medicine outlet box 2 to prevent the medicine from sliding down from the side.

[0043] As an optional implementation, a linkage rod 17 is arranged between the recovery medicine box 15 and the lifting assembly, and the two ends of the linkage rod 17 are respectively hinged to the recovery medicine box 15 and the lifting assembly; a recovery slide 18 is horizontally arranged below the recovery medicine box 15, and the recovery medicine box 15 is slidably connected to the recovery slide 18; the extension direction of the linkage rod 17 and the extension direction of the recovery slide 18 are located in the same vertical plane.

[0044] As an optional embodiment, a shock absorbing block 19 is further fixedly provided on the lower side of the base plate 5 .

[0045] Specifically, in the initial state, the lifting component is in a retracted state, and the medicine box 2 is in a low position. After the medicine is transferred to the medicine box 2, the detection component collects the medicine data and compares it with the correct medicine information. If the information is correct, the lifting component lifts the medicine box 2 to the medicine dispensing port for the consumer to take out the medicine. If the information is incorrect, the lifting component lifts the medicine box 2 to a high position, the small electric latch 3 is opened, the bottom plate 5 is flipped open, and the medicine slides to the recovery medicine box 15. In addition, a gear lever is provided on the retracting component. After the small electric latch 3 is opened, when the lifting component falls back, the distance between the gear lever and the medicine box 2 is gradually reduced until the bottom plate 5 is completely closed. After the bottom plate 5 is closed, the small electric latch 3 is locked again and returns to the initial state.
