Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent medicine packaging machines, and in particular to a temporary medicine adding and moving distribution device for intelligent medicine packaging machines. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the pharmaceutical industry, traditional manual medication placement methods are struggling to adapt to the evolving management standards of hospital pharmacies and the demands placed on pharmacy operations in the new century. New medication placement models fully reflect the overall strength of the hospital, ensuring more accurate medication placement. This can provide more comprehensive and high-quality services to clinical departments, improve service quality and work efficiency, and provide reliable data for high-level pharmacy management. The Automatic Drug Dispensing System (ATDPS) is an innovative pharmacy solution designed to achieve safe and stable automated operation through innovative hospital and pharmacy management and efficient, accurate data processing. From selecting the correct medication to storing, counting, filling, and packaging medications, the ATDPS fully automates the entire medication dispensing process. Once the hospital or pharmacy's medication order (MO) is entered into the system, relevant information and medication instructions can be printed based on the patient's MO, enabling better patient service.

[0003] However, for some infrequently used medicines, medicines in special shapes, medicines temporarily added by pharmacists, etc., if you want to add them to the working medicine packaging machine, you need to manually place the medicine on the external tray for dosage. The temporary medicine boxes currently used to receive medicines from the external tray are all single-row mobile trays, which are fixed on the conveyor belt with multiple small boxes. The external tray delivers one row of medicines at a time, and the conveyor belt drives the mobile box to rotate to the edge of the conveyor belt to put the medicines into the packaging system below. After the medicines in the mobile tray are put in, the conveyor belt drives the mobile tray to reset and receive the next row of medicines from the external tray. Since there are multiple rows of medicines in the external tray, the external tray needs to wait until the mobile tray has received all the medicines before it can exit to receive new medicines, which takes a long time and is very inefficient.

[0004] In addition, after the movable disk is reset, it is in the position of receiving the first column of medicines on the outer swing disk. The movable disk or the outer swing disk needs to be moved horizontally to align with the second column or the third column. A horizontal moving mechanism needs to be set up, which takes up more waiting time for the outer swing disk. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to address the defects and shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a temporary drug dosing and moving and dropping device for an intelligent drug packaging machine with a simple structure, reasonable design and easy use. The device comprises a mobile box driving system and a mobile box. The mobile box is fixed to the mobile box driving system. The mobile box driving system drives the mobile box to reciprocate in the longitudinal direction. The mobile box is provided with a plurality of transparent squares in the transverse and longitudinal directions; the mobile box also comprises a bottom plate, and the mobile box is provided with a plurality of bottom plate channels on the upper surface of the bottom plate. The number of the bottom plate channels is the same as the number of squares arranged transversely in the mobile box; when the transverse single row of squares of the mobile box is located directly above the bottom plate channels, the drugs in the transverse single row of squares fall into the bottom plate channels. As the mobile box moves longitudinally, each single row of squares will overlap with the bottom plate channels, so that all the drugs in the mobile box fall into the bottom plate channels.

[0006] After adopting the above structure, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the temporary drug dosing and mobile distribution device of the intelligent drug packaging machine described in the present invention adopts a multi-row and multi-column mobile box design. The number of rows and columns of the mobile box can be the same as the outer swing plate. When the outer swing plate is feeding the medicine, all the medicines can be put into the mobile plate at one time, and then it can exit to carry out the next manual medicine feeding. When feeding the medicine, the mobile box feeds the medicine into the medicine packaging system respectively, saving the waiting time of the outer swing plate. Since the outer swing plate can carry out the next round of medicine feeding without waiting, and the mobile box feeds the medicine at the same time as the medicine feeding, the two are carried out synchronously. After feeding, the outer swing plate that receives the finished medicine can be reset to feed the medicine, which greatly improves the feeding efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The exemplary embodiments and descriptions are only used to explain the present invention but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, the temporary drug dosing and moving and dropping device of the intelligent drug packaging machine described in this specific embodiment includes a mobile box driving system 2 and a mobile box 3. The mobile box 3 is fixed on the mobile box driving system 2, and the mobile box driving system 2 drives the mobile box 3 to reciprocate in the longitudinal direction. The mobile box 3 is provided with a plurality of upper and lower transparent squares 31 in the transverse and longitudinal directions; it also includes a bottom plate 1, the mobile box 3 is attached to the upper surface of the bottom plate 1, and a plurality of bottom plate channels 11 are provided on the bottom plate 1. The number of bottom plate channels 11 is the same as the number of squares 31 arranged horizontally in the mobile box 3; when the horizontal single row of squares 31 of the mobile box 3 is located directly above the bottom plate channel 11, the medicine in the horizontal single row of squares 31 falls into the bottom plate channel 11. As the mobile box 3 moves longitudinally, each single row of squares 31 will overlap with the bottom plate channel 11, so that all the medicines in the mobile box 3 fall into the bottom plate channel 11.

[0017] The temporary drug dosing and dispensing device for the intelligent drug dispensing machine described in this embodiment utilizes a mobile box drive system 2 that utilizes a combination of a stepper motor and a synchronous belt to secure the mobile box 3 to the synchronous belt. This combination ensures the precise movement of the mobile box 3. When the dispenser's external swing plate is loaded with the medication to be dispensed, an external conveyor transports the plate above the mobile box 3, depositing all the medications in the plate into the corresponding grids 31 of the mobile box 3, completing the dispensing process. The external conveyor then removes the plate for manual loading without waiting for the next dispensing step from the mobile box 3.

[0018] Then the mobile box driving system 2 drives the mobile box 3 to move longitudinally on the bottom plate 1. When the first row of squares 31 runs above the bottom plate channel 11, the medicines in the first row of squares 31 are dropped into the bottom plate channel 11, and then fall into the packaging mechanism below for packaging. Then the second row of squares 31 is used for dosing. Finally, all the medicines in the mobile box 3 are completely dosed. Driven by the mobile box driving system 2, the mobile box 3 is reset to wait for the next dose from the outer swing plate.

[0019] Preferably: See Figure 1-7It includes a distributor 4, a distribution gate 6, and a screw transmission system 7; the distributor 4 and the screw transmission system 7 are both installed under the base plate 1; the distributor 4 is provided with a plurality of vertically transparent distribution channels 41, and the distribution channels 41 are located directly below the bottom plate entrance channel 11; the distribution gate 6 is fixed on the slider of the screw transmission system 7, and the distribution gate 6 is provided with a plurality of vertically transparent gate channels 61, and the plurality of gate channels 61 are staggered in the transverse direction; the screw transmission system 7 drives the distribution gate 6 to translate longitudinally, so that a medicine dropping channel is formed between the gate channel 61 and the distribution channel 41 each time.

[0020] This design solves a technical problem in the industry, the problem of simultaneously dosing and packaging multiple horizontal grids 31. Figure 3-7 Driven by the screw drive system 7, the drop gate 6 moves longitudinally. At a time, only one drop channel 41 overlaps with the bottom plate channel 11. Therefore, only one drug in the bottom plate channel 11 can be dropped into the packaging mechanism below. Only one set of drug packaging mechanisms is required, eliminating the need for multiple sets of packaging mechanisms. This can not only save huge manufacturing costs but also significantly reduce the space occupied by the packaging machine. After the drugs in the bottom plate channel 11 are dispensed, the grid 31 continues to dispense the next row of drugs. The drop gate 6 reciprocates, continuing to dispense drugs from the bottom plate channel 11 one at a time, and so on to complete the entire drug dispensing process.

[0021] Preferably: See Figure 2 It includes a medicine guide 5, which is installed below the distribution channel 41 and is used to receive the medicines falling from all the distribution channels 41. This design is used to prevent the medicines from deviating when falling into the packaging mechanism. The medicines falling from different positions in multiple distribution channels 41 are finally guided to the same medicine discharge point.

[0022] Preferably: See Figure 5 The system includes a photoelectric sensor 8, whose transmitting and receiving terminals and detection plate are mounted on the bracket and slider of the lead screw drive system 7, respectively. The photoelectric sensor 8 is used to detect whether the gate channel 61 and the drop channel 41 form a drug drop channel. The photoelectric sensor 8 is provided to verify that the drop gate 6 has moved to the preset position. This sensor verification technology is fully mature in the industry and will not be described in detail here.

[0023] Preferably: See Figure 7 , it includes a limit plate 9, which is installed on the bracket of the screw transmission system 7 and is used to prevent the slider of the screw transmission system 7 from moving beyond the limit. When the slider moves to the right, it is blocked by the limit plate 9.

[0024] The temporary drug dosing and mobile dispensing device for the intelligent drug packaging machine described in the present invention utilizes a multi-row and multi-column mobile box design. The number of rows and columns of the mobile box can be the same as that of the outer swing plate. When the outer swing plate dispenses the drugs, all the drugs can be placed into the mobile plate at once, and then the device can be withdrawn for the next manual drug placement. During the drug placement, the mobile box separately places the drugs into the drug packaging system, thus saving the waiting time of the outer swing plate. Since the outer swing plate can proceed to the next round of drug placement without waiting, and the mobile box dispenses the drugs simultaneously, the two processes are carried out synchronously. After the drugs are dispensed, the outer swing plate can be reset to receive the drugs after placement, greatly improving the drug placement efficiency.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the structure, characteristics and principles described in the scope of the patent application of the present invention are included in the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
