Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a medicine collection device, and more particularly to a multi-prescription medicine collection device for an intelligent pharmacy. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine has begun to promote small-package Chinese herbal medicine pieces nationwide. This involves packaging qualified processed Chinese herbal medicine pieces into appropriate packaging materials according to commonly used clinical dosage specifications. These packaging materials are generally available in different specifications such as 1 gram, 2 grams, 5 grams, 10 grams, 15 grams, and 20 grams. When dispensing, the prescription is directly "counted" into the package. This new type of Chinese medicine packaging not only makes the herbal medicine pieces hygienic and clean, but also ensures the accuracy of the dispensing dosage and is beneficial for storage and preservation.

[0003] Currently, in order to improve dispensing efficiency and reduce workload, many institutions have adopted automated equipment to assist in dispensing, such as CN103158967B, CN103303625B, and CN202558169U. These devices all use a single collection channel and can only process one prescription at a time, resulting in low dispensing efficiency. Furthermore, the medicine bags are passively dispensed by gravity, and because the bags are light, they are prone to drifting outside the collection channel or being attracted by electrostatic discharge from the baffles, leading to low reliability.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention provides an automated pharmacy multi-prescription dispensing device that can process multiple prescriptions in parallel, has high dispensing efficiency, and has a simple and reliable structure, which greatly improves the level of automation and reduces the intensity of manual labor. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, this invention aims to provide a drug collection device that can process multiple prescriptions in parallel, greatly reducing manual labor intensity and improving drug dispensing efficiency.

[0006] To realize the above-mentioned multi-prescription drug collection device, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A multi-prescription drug collection device includes a medicine rack 1, an automatic dispensing device 2, a prescription conveyor belt 3, a collection conveyor belt 4, and a drug bag guiding mechanism 5. The medicine rack 1 includes multiple identical medicine rack units 11, each with a drug inlet 12 and a drug outlet 13. The automatic dispensing device 2, the prescription conveyor belt 3, and the drug bag guiding mechanism 5 are located at the drug outlet 13 of the medicine rack. The collection conveyor belt 4 is located at the end of the prescription conveyor belt 3. The drug bag guiding mechanism 5 includes a partition 51 and a curtain 52. The partition 51 is located between the prescription conveyor belts 3, and the partition 51 has multiple perforations. The curtain 52 is located at the perforated positions of the partition 51 and is used to allow the automatic dispensing device 2 to pass through.

[0008] Furthermore, the multi-prescription drug collection device includes at least one prescription conveyor belt 3, and each prescription conveyor belt 3 processes one prescription.

[0009] Furthermore, one prescription conveyor belt 3 corresponds to one medicine collection conveyor belt 4.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the multiple prescription conveyor belts 3 corresponds to one drug collection conveyor belt 4, and the drug collection conveyor belt 4 is divided into multiple areas by baffles.

[0011] Furthermore, the shape of the cutout position of the partition 51 needs to match the automatic medicine dispensing device 2 so that the automatic medicine dispensing device 2 can pass through.

[0012] Furthermore, the curtain 52 can swing ±90°.

[0013] Furthermore, the partition 51 and the curtain 52 are made of antistatic and smooth materials.

[0014] The multi-prescription drug collection device provided by this invention has the following technical effects: This drug collection device

[0015] (1) Parallel processing of multiple prescriptions was achieved, improving dispensing efficiency;

[0016] (2) The anti-static partition can prevent electrostatic adsorption between the partition and the medicine bag, thus improving reliability;

[0017] (3) It reduces the intensity of manual labor and greatly improves the degree of automation. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, a multi-prescription drug collection device includes a medicine rack 1, an automatic dispensing device 2, a prescription conveyor belt 3, a collection conveyor belt 4, and a medicine bag guiding mechanism 5. The medicine rack 1 includes multiple identical medicine rack units 11, with a drug inlet 12 and a drug outlet 13. The automatic dispensing device 2, the prescription conveyor belt 3, and the medicine bag guiding mechanism 5 are located at the drug outlet 13 of the medicine rack. The collection conveyor belt 4 is located at the end of the prescription conveyor belt 3. The medicine bag guiding mechanism 5 includes a partition 51 and a curtain 52. The partition 51 is located between the prescription conveyor belts 3, and the partition 51 has multiple perforations. The curtain 52 is located at the perforated positions of the partition 51 and is used to allow the automatic dispensing device 2 to pass through.

[0022] Furthermore, the multi-prescription drug collection device includes at least one prescription conveyor belt 3, each prescription conveyor belt 3 processes one prescription, and multiple prescription conveyor belts 3 correspond to one drug collection conveyor belt 4, the drug collection conveyor belt 4 being divided into multiple areas by baffles.

[0023] In another embodiment, one prescription conveyor belt 3 corresponds to one drug collection conveyor belt 4. However, the drug collection conveyor belts in this embodiment occupy a large area and are not a preferred embodiment.

[0024] Furthermore, the shape of the cutout position of the partition 51 needs to match the automatic medicine dispensing device 2 so that the automatic medicine dispensing device 2 can pass through.

[0025] Furthermore, the curtain 52 can swing ±90°.

[0026] Furthermore, the partition 51 and the curtain 52 are made of antistatic and smooth materials.

[0027] During operation, the automatic dispensing device 2 retrieves a medicine bag from the medicine shelf unit 11 and transports it above the corresponding prescription conveyor belt 3. During transport, the automatic dispensing device 2 raises the curtain 52 and passes it through the partition 51. The medicine bag then falls onto the prescription conveyor belt 3 and is conveyed to the collection conveyor belt 4 located at the end of the prescription conveyor belt 3. The function of the curtain 52 is to prevent the medicine bag from falling from the perforated position into the space outside the partition 51. Both the partition 51 and the curtain 52 are made of anti-static, smooth materials and will not generate electrostatic adsorption between them and the falling medicine bag.

[0028] The multi-prescription drug dispensing device provided by this invention enables parallel processing of multiple prescriptions, improves dispensing efficiency, and has a simple and compact structure, greatly enhances the degree of automation, and reduces the intensity of manual labor.

[0029] It should be understood that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
