Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical article transportation, and in particular to an integrated medical medium-sized material transportation system. Background Art

[0002] At present, most hospitals in China still have a complete range of services, self-contained, "big and complete" or "small and complete" service agencies and service facilities, as well as a large logistics team. This pattern of "hospitals running society" is inevitable under the conditions of low productivity and low wages, and it has played a certain positive role. The transportation of medical supplies is an important part of building a modern hospital management system. Warehouse storage, material procurement, escort, inspection, central warehouse and other work in hospitals are closely related to the transportation of medical supplies. A good medical supply transportation system can help hospitals modernize faster and better.

[0003] At present, the transportation of medical supplies in most hospitals in my country mainly relies on the method of "dedicated delivery team + trolley + multiple elevators". This method of transportation is not only inefficient in the batch transportation of large-volume and heavy medical supplies, but also causes a mixture of human flow and logistics when the items are in motion, such as people, medicines, and equipment. Patients, medical staff, and delivery personnel run up and down the stairs, which not only causes a large amount of ineffective personnel flow, but also increases the risk of cross-infection and disease transmission. Some hospitals currently use air pipeline transmission systems and rail carrier transmission systems. This transmission method has a large limit on the weight of medical supplies, with a maximum carrying weight of 10kg, and is not very reliable. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects and shortcomings of the prior art and to provide an integrated medical medium-sized material transportation system that can automatically, quickly and safely transport medical supplies to a designated location, with a carrying weight of 50kg and guaranteed reliability.

[0008] Furthermore, the first rotary transfer device and the second rotary transfer device also include a base, a column and a rotating assembly, the bottom of the column is fixed to the center of the base, and the top is rotatably installed at the center of the U-shaped track, and the rotating assembly drives the U-shaped track to rotate 90°.

[0009] Furthermore, the rotating assembly includes two magnets and four electromagnets, the magnets are symmetrically installed at both ends of the bottom surface of the U-shaped track, the electromagnets are centrally symmetrically installed on the top surface of the base, and coils are respectively wound around the electromagnets, and the coils are connected to a power supply.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, an integrated system for the transmission of medium-sized medical materials includes a plurality of transceiver stations 1, transmission lines 2, transfer stations 3, temporary transfer stations 4 and turnover boxes 5. The transceiver station 1, transfer station 3 and temporary transfer station 4 are connected by a transmission line 2, and the transceiver station 1 and the transmission line 2 are connected by a vertical lifting device 6. The transmission line 2 includes a horizontal transmission line 2a, a longitudinal transmission line 2b and a first rotary transfer device 2c. The first rotary transfer device 2c is arranged at the intersection of the horizontal transmission line 2a and the longitudinal transmission line 2b. The turnover box 5 circulates between the transceiver station 1 and the transfer station 3 for the transmission of medical supplies. Medical supplies are loaded into the turnover box 5, and then sent and received by the transceiver station 1. The sending and receiving between the transceiver stations 1 are realized through the transmission line 2, the transfer station 3 and the vertical lifting equipment 6. Compared with the transmission method of "full-time delivery team + trolley + multiple elevators", the whole process is automated, which greatly reduces the workload of medical staff, and at the same time reduces the ineffective flow of patients, realizes the diversion of people and goods, and is faster and safer. Compared with the air pipeline or rail carrier transmission system, the carrying weight is increased to 50kg, and the reliability is guaranteed. Specifically, the transmission line 2 is an upper and lower two layers or two parallel groups, and the transmission directions of the upper and lower layers or two parallel groups are opposite; the horizontal transmission line 2a and the longitudinal transmission line 2b are arranged perpendicular to each other; the transportation of the turnover box 5 on the transceiver station 1, the transmission line 2, the transfer station 3 and the temporary transfer station 4 is controlled by a controller (not shown in the figure).

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, the vertical lifting device 6 includes a lifting frame 6a, a lifting plate 6b that moves up and down along the lifting frame 6a, a second rotary transfer device 6c installed on the lifting plate 6b, and a driving component 6d that drives the lifting plate 6b to move up and down. The lifting frame 6a is installed in the lifting shaft 7. When in use, the driving component 6d drives the lifting plate 6b and then synchronously drives the second rotary transfer device 6c to move up and down in the lifting frame 6a, so as to realize the sending and receiving of the turnover box 5 by the upper and lower transceiver stations 1. Specifically, the driving component 6d includes a driving wheel 6d1 installed at the bottom of the lifting frame 6a, a driven wheel 6d2 installed at the top of the lifting frame 6a, and a lifting belt 6d3 sleeved on the driving wheel 6d1 and the driven wheel 6d2. The two ends of the lifting plate 6b are respectively connected to the lifting belt 6d3. The driving wheel 6d1 is driven by a motor. This is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the transceiver station 1, the transverse transmission line 2a, the longitudinal transmission line 2b, the first rotary transfer device 2c and the second rotary transfer device 6c all include a U-shaped track 8, a driving roller 9 and a follower roller 10 respectively rotatably mounted at both ends of the U-shaped track 8, and a conveyor belt 11 respectively sleeved on both ends of the driving roller 9 and the follower roller 10, and the driving roller 9 is driven by a motor. When in use, the turnover box 5 is placed on the conveyor belt 11, and the motor drives the driving roller 9 to rotate. The rotation of the driving roller 9 drives the follower roller 10 to rotate through the conveyor belt 11, thereby realizing the movement of the turnover box 5 on the U-shaped track 8. Specifically, a plurality of auxiliary rollers 28 are evenly arranged between the driving roller 9 and the follower roller 10, and the two ends of the auxiliary roller 28 are respectively rotatably connected to the U-shaped track 8. The setting of the auxiliary roller 28 plays a supporting role for the conveyed turnover box 5 and ensures the carrying weight.

[0034] like Figure 5As shown, the first rotary transfer device 2c and the second rotary transfer device 6c also include a base 12, a column 13 and a rotating component 14. The bottom of the column 13 is fixed to the center of the base 12, and the top is rotatably installed at the center of the U-shaped track 8. The rotating component 14 drives the U-shaped track 8 to rotate 90°. During use, when it is necessary to transfer the turnover box 5 on the transverse transmission line 2a to the longitudinal transmission line 2b, or to transfer the turnover box 5 on the longitudinal transmission line 2b to the transverse transmission line 2a, assuming that the U-shaped track 8 on the first rotary transfer device 2c is aligned with the U-shaped track 8 on the transverse transmission line 2a or the longitudinal transmission line 2b, the turnover box 5 on the transverse transmission line 2a or the longitudinal transmission line 2b is transported to the first rotary transfer device 2c, and the rotating component 14 drives the U-shaped track 8 on the first rotary transfer device 2c to rotate 90°, so that the U-shaped track 8 on the first rotary transfer device 2c is aligned with the U-shaped track 8 on the longitudinal transmission line 2b or the transverse transmission line 2a, and the first rotary transfer device 2c transports the turnover box 5 to the longitudinal transmission line 2b or the transverse transmission line 2a.

[0035] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the rotating assembly 14 includes two magnets 14a and four electromagnets 14b. The magnets 14a are symmetrically mounted at the two ends of the bottom surface of the U-shaped track 8, and the electromagnets 14b are centrally symmetrically mounted on the top surface of the base 12. Coils 14c are respectively wound around the electromagnets 14b, and the coils 14c are connected to a power source. Specifically, the two magnets 14a are respectively located in the middle of the two ends of the bottom surface of the U-shaped track 8, and the magnetic poles of the two magnets 14a facing the ends of the base 12 are opposite. The four electromagnets 14b are respectively located at the midline position of the side of the top surface of the base 12, and the opposite electromagnets 14b form a group. The connection line of the electromagnets 14b in one group is perpendicular to the longitudinal transmission line 2b, and the connection line of the electromagnets 14b in the other group is perpendicular to the transverse transmission line 2a. When in use, assuming that the U-shaped track 8 on the first rotary transfer device 2c is aligned with the U-shaped track 8 on the horizontal transmission line 2a, at this time, the line connecting the two magnets 14a is perpendicular to the longitudinal transmission line 2b, that is, the two magnets 14a correspond to the electromagnets 14b in one group, at this time, the electromagnets 14b in one group are powered on to attract the two magnets 14a respectively, and the electromagnets 14b in the other group are powered off and lose their magnetism. When the U-shaped track 8 on the first rotary transfer device 2c needs to be aligned with the U-shaped track 8 on the longitudinal transmission line 2b, the electromagnets 14b in one group are powered off and lose their magnetism, and the electromagnets 14b in the other group are powered on to attract the two magnets 14a respectively, and the U-shaped track 8 on the first rotary transfer device 2c will rotate 90°, so as to achieve the alignment of the U-shaped track 8 on the first rotary transfer device 2c with the U-shaped track 8 on the longitudinal transmission line 2b.

[0036] In order to prevent the U-shaped track 8 on the first rotating transfer device 2c and the second rotating transfer device 6c from excessive rotation or vibration during rotation, a limit member 15 is further provided between the U-shaped track 8 and the base 12. The bottom of the limit member 15 is fixedly connected to the base 12, and the top is slidably embedded in an arc-shaped groove 16 on the bottom surface of the U-shaped track 8, and the arc-shaped groove 16 is a quarter of a circle.

[0037] like Figure 8 As shown, the transceiver station 1 also includes a door frame 17 and a transceiver platform 18 . The door frame 17 is installed at a door opening 19 of the elevator shaft 7 . One end of the transceiver platform 18 extends into the door frame 17 . The U-shaped track 8 is installed on the transceiver platform 18 .

[0038] like Fig. 9 As shown, a windproof door 20 is installed at the end of the door frame 17 near the door opening 19, and a fireproof door 21 is installed in the lift shaft 7, and the fireproof door 21 is located above the door opening 19. Specifically, the windproof door 20 adopts an induction door design and is normally closed, which plays a role of isolation. When the turnover box 5 arrives next to the windproof door 20, the windproof door 20 rises and opens; the fireproof door 21 adopts a normally open type. When encountering a dangerous situation, the fireproof door 21 moves down to close the door opening 19.

[0039] like Fig.10 As shown, the turnover box 5 includes a box body 5a and a box cover 5b covering the box body 5a, and blocks 22 are respectively installed at both ends of the box body 5a, and buckles 23 corresponding to the blocks 22 are respectively installed at both ends of the box cover 5b. Through the arrangement of the blocks 22 and the buckles 23, the box cover 5b is firmly covered on the box body 5a. When in use, when the box cover 5b is covered on the box body 5a, the buckle 23 is slightly bent outward to be buckled on the block 22. Specifically, the buckle 23 has a certain elasticity, which facilitates the buckle 23 to be buckled on the block 22.

[0040] like Figure 4 , Fig. 9 and Fig.11As shown, a convex point 24 is installed on the top of the buckle 23, and the convex point 24 protrudes from the top surface of the box cover 5b. A sensing element 25 corresponding to the convex point 24 is provided in the door frame 17, and a convex tooth 26 is provided on the bottom surface of the box body 5a, and the convex tooth 26 corresponds to the tooth groove 27 on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 11. The arrangement of the convex point 24 and the sensing element 25 ensures that the box cover 5b is firmly covered on the box body 5a during the transmission process. Combined with the arrangement of the convex tooth 26 and the tooth groove 27, the movement of the turnover box 5 on the U-shaped track 8 is stable, avoiding deviation and scratching or collision with the U-shaped track 8, thereby ensuring the safe and stable transmission of the turnover box 5. When in use, the turnover box 5 with the cover is placed on the U-shaped track 8, the convex teeth 26 are embedded in the tooth grooves 27 to align the turnover box 5, and then the conveyor belt 11 drives the turnover box 5 to move. If the convex point 24 on the turnover box 5 does not react when passing through the sensor 25, it indicates that the box cover 5b is firmly covered on the box body 5a, and the turnover box 5 is sent out from the sending and receiving station 1; if the convex point 24 on the turnover box 5 reacts when passing through the sensor 25, it indicates that the box cover 5b is not firmly covered on the box body 5a, the conveyor belt 11 stops rotating, and the box cover 5b is manually closed and the turnover box 5 is placed on the U-shaped track 8 again.

[0041] In actual application, the transceiver station 1 is set up on each floor of each building, and the circulation of medical supplies between buildings is realized through the transfer station 3. For example, the transceiver station 1 on the 3rd floor of a building needs to send medical supplies to the 8th floor of another building, and the transportation path is as follows: the transceiver station 1 on the 3rd floor of a building sends out a turnover box 5 loaded with medical supplies, the controller starts the driving component 6d to make the second rotary transfer device 6c rise to the 3rd floor, the windproof door 20 of this floor is opened, and the turnover box 5 is transported to the second rotary transfer device 6c, the second rotary transfer device 6c descends to the 1st floor, the windproof door 20 of this floor is opened, and the second rotary transfer device 6c rotates 90° to transfer the turnover box 5 is transported to the transmission line 2, and the transmission line 2 transports the turnover box 5 to the transfer station 3, and the transfer station 3 sorts it, and then transports it to the first floor of another building through the transmission line 2. The second rotary transfer device 6c of the building descends to the first floor, and the windproof door 20 of the floor is opened. The transmission line 2 transports the turnover box 5 to the second rotary transfer device 6c, and the second rotary transfer device 6c rises to the eighth floor. The windproof door 20 of the floor is opened, and the second rotary transfer device 6c rotates 90° to transport the turnover box 5 to the transceiver station 1 of the floor. When the turnover box 5 is congested for a short time (less than 24 hours) in the transmission line 2 and the vertical lifting device 6, the turnover box 5 enters the temporary transfer station 4 for temporary buffering; when the turnover box 5 is congested for a long time (≥24 hours) in the transmission line 2 and the vertical lifting device 6, the turnover box 5 enters the transfer station 3 for temporary storage. Such a design improves the distribution efficiency of medical supplies and does not occupy the space of the transfer station 3.

[0042] In the present application, the transfer station 3 not only has the above-mentioned transfer function, but also has a warehousing function. The medical supplies transported into the hospital are stored in the transfer station 3 and sorted and stored. When necessary, they are transported to the receiving and sending station 1 of each building through the transmission line 2 and the vertical lifting equipment 6.

[0043] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above descriptions are only specific embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
