Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of sorting equipment for automated drug management in hospital pharmacies, specifically relating to an automatic injection dispensing module. Background Technology

[0002] Injectable drugs are a type of liquid medication, packaged in glass vials for subcutaneous, intramuscular, or intravenous administration. In current hospital drug management, especially in inpatient pharmacies, injectable drugs are the most frequently used, and are still primarily stored on traditional shelves and in automated storage cabinets. However, these systems still require pharmacists to constantly move between shelves and cabinets to retrieve and dispense medications. With an aging population and an increasing number of hospitalized patients, more pharmacists are needed to handle this, increasing the workload for pharmacists under the traditional model, leading to management chaos, unclear accounting, and frequent buck-passing during inventory checks. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides an automatic injection dispensing module. A stepper motor drives a gear and rack to move a conveyor plate along a guide rail support a distance corresponding to the number of injection vials. The injection vials contain vials of injectable medication. One end of the conveyor plate extends through a conveying window from the medication storage frame, and the length the conveyor plate moves is exactly the distance of the corresponding number of injection vials. The conveyor plate moves only the required distance for the desired number of vials, resulting in fast, convenient, and error-free dispensing.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic injection dispensing module, comprising a base plate, a medicine storage basket, a conveyor plate, a rack, a guide rail bracket, a gear, a stepper motor mounting bracket, a stepper motor, an injection vial, a triangular mounting bracket, and a sensor; the medicine storage basket and the triangular mounting bracket are fixedly connected to each other by screws, the triangular mounting bracket is at a 35-degree angle and is connected to the base plate, and guide rail brackets are fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom of the medicine storage basket; the bottom of the conveyor plate is integrally formed with a slide rail, and the conveyor plate is slidably mounted on the guide rail brackets at both ends of the medicine storage basket via the slide rail, and a rack is installed at the bottom of the slide rail; a stepper motor is installed at the bottom of the medicine storage basket via the stepper motor mounting bracket; a gear is installed at the drive end of the stepper motor, and the gear is meshed with the rack; conveying windows are opened at the bottom of both sides of the medicine storage basket; sensors are installed on the outer walls of both sides of the medicine storage basket above the conveying windows.

[0012] In use, sensors are installed on both outer walls of the medicine storage basket above the conveying window. The host computer is connected to both the stepper motor and the sensors to ensure the position of the conveyor plate before and after dispensing the medicine. When the required quantity of medicine is output to the host computer, and the host computer needs to dispense a certain number of injections, the stepper motor drives the gears and racks to move the conveyor plate along the guide rail support a distance corresponding to the number of injection vials.

A rack 4 is installed at the bottom of the slide rail 32. A stepper motor 8 is installed at the bottom of the medicine storage basket 2 via a stepper motor fixing bracket 7. A gear 6 is installed at the drive end of the stepper motor 8, and the gear 6 is meshed with the rack 4. Conveying windows 21 are opened at the bottom of both sides of the medicine storage basket 2. Sensors 11 are installed on the outer walls of both sides of the medicine storage basket 2 above the conveying windows 21.

[0028] For better storage of injections and automatic dispensing, a row of injection bottle slots 31 are evenly provided on the conveyor plate 3, and injection medicine bottles 9 are provided on the injection bottle slots 31; anti-collision soft rubber pads are provided on the inner wall and upper edge of the injection bottle slots 31.

[0029] To enable automated injection dispensing, the guide rail bracket 5 is provided with a guide rail groove, and the slide rail 32 at the bottom of the conveyor plate 3 is slidably connected to the guide rail groove. The conveyor plate 3 is driven by the stepper motor 8 to move horizontally on the guide rail bracket 5 at the bottom of the medicine storage basket 2 via the slide rail 32. The two ends of the conveyor plate 3 move inside and outside the medicine storage basket 2 through the conveying windows 21.

[0030] To ensure the position of the conveyor plate before and after dispensing medicine, the feature is that: the sensor 11 is set above the conveyor plate 3; and sensing plates for mutual sensing of the sensor 11 are installed on both ends of the conveyor plate 3.

[0031] To achieve the effect of automatic drug delivery, a host computer is also included. The sensor 11 and the stepper motor 8 are electrically connected to the host computer. The host computer is equipped with a switch panel for controlling the start and stop of the stepper motor 8.

[0032] Specifically, the medicine storage basket 2 is installed inside the dispensing machine via a base plate 1.

[0033] Specifically, the stepper motor 8 and the sensor 11 are electrically connected to the power supply.

[0034] The working principle and usage process of this invention are as follows: The medicine storage basket 2 is connected to the base plate 1 at a 35-degree angle by a triangular fixing bracket 10. The bottom of the conveyor plate 3 is integrally formed with a slide rail 32, and it is slidably mounted on the bottom guide rail brackets 5 at both ends of the medicine storage basket 2 via the slide rail 32. The conveyor plate 3 is driven by a stepper motor 8 to move horizontally on the guide rail brackets 5 at the bottom of the medicine storage basket 2 via the slide rail 32. The two ends of the conveyor plate 3 move inside and outside the medicine storage basket 2 through the conveying windows 21.

[0035] In use, sensors 11 are installed on both outer walls of the medicine storage basket 2 above the conveying window 21. The host computer is connected to the stepper motor 8 and the sensors 11 to ensure the position of the conveyor plate 3 before and after dispensing the medicine. When the required quantity of medicine is output to the host computer, and the host computer needs to dispense a certain number of injections, the stepper motor 8 drives the gear 6 and rack 4 to move the conveyor plate 3 on the guide rail bracket 5 by the corresponding number of injection bottle slots 31. The injection bottle slots 31 contain injection medicine bottles 9. This allows one end of the conveyor plate 3 to pass through the medicine storage basket 2 along the conveying window 21, and the length that the conveyor plate 3 moves is exactly the distance of the corresponding number of injection bottle slots 31. This makes it convenient for pharmacists to pick up and dispense medicine, reduces the workload of pharmacists, and improves the efficiency of pharmacists in dispensing medicine. It also allows doctors to simply scan the prescription, and the injection dispensing module will automatically dispense the medicine according to the prescription quantity. It is fast, convenient, and error-free.
