Detailed Implementation
[0030] The present invention will be further described below through specific embodiments.
[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an automatic weighing and dispensing medicine machine includes a rotating medicine cabinet 1, a dispensing robot 2, a medicine receiving box 7, and a conveying mechanism 8.
[0032] The rotating medicine cabinet 1 includes a rotating base 11 and a rotating cabinet body 12 rotatably mounted on the rotating base 11. The rotating base 11 includes two rotating disks 111 arranged opposite each other, a rotating shaft 112 rotatably mounted between the two rotating disks 111, and a rotating device that connects to and drives the rotating shaft 112 to rotate. The rotating cabinet body 12 is located between the two rotating disks 111 and includes multiple medicine box groups 13 distributed circumferentially. Specifically, each medicine box group 13 includes an assembly rod 131 disposed between the two rotating disks 111 and multiple medicine boxes 132 for placing different medicinal materials, spaced apart on the assembly rod 131. When the rotating medicine cabinet 1 is in use, each medicine box 132 is used to hold different medicinal materials. The rotating device drives the rotating shaft 112 to rotate, rotating the medicine box 132 corresponding to the required medicinal material to the front for easy access. Furthermore, the rotating device is a device commonly used in mechanical equipment to drive the rotation of relative components; its specific structure and working principle will not be further elaborated here.
[0033] The medicine-dispensing robot 2, which grasps the medicines in the corresponding medicine box as needed, includes a base 3, a grasping device 4 set on the base 3 for grasping the medicines, a first drive device 5 connected to and driving the base 3 to move left and right, and a second drive device set on the base 3 connected to and driving the grasping device 4 to move up and down.
[0034] The first driving device 5 includes a gear set 51 rotatably mounted on the base 3, a first rack 52 extending along the length of the rotating medicine cabinet 1 and engaging with the gear set 51, a gear motor 53 mounted on the base 3 to drive the gear set 51 to rotate, and a sliding guide 54 mounted on the base 3. Specifically, the gear set 51 includes four gears arranged in a matrix, and four gear motors 53 are provided, each corresponding to one of the four gears, connecting and driving the corresponding gears to rotate.

When the two claw spoons 413 are closed and connected, the two relief grooves 4133 are joined together to form the medicine outlet 412. When the medicine claw 41 grasps medicine, the medicine outlet 412 is opened and closed. The medicine outlet 412 faces upward; when the medicine claw 41 pours medicine, it is driven by the rotating mechanism 44 to rotate horizontally by 180° so that the medicine outlet 412 faces downward; further, the opening and closing mechanism 414 includes a pneumatic gripper seat 4141 connected to the rotating mechanism 45 for assembling the claw spoon 413, two movable blocks 4142 that can move towards or away from each other on the pneumatic gripper seat 4141, and an opening and closing cylinder 4143 that is connected to the pneumatic gripper seat 4141 on the machine base 3 and drives the two movable blocks 4142 to move. The claw spoon 413 is connected to the relative movable blocks 4142, and the opening and closing of the two claw spoons 413 is controlled by the opening and closing cylinder 4143 to grasp the medicine; further, the diameter of the medicine outlet 412 gradually decreases along the medicine discharge direction.

Specifically, the reciprocating drive component includes a reciprocating motor 433 mounted on the positioning seat 431 and a reciprocating lead screw and nut pair 434 connected between the reciprocating motor 433 and the movable plate 432.
[0039] The mounting base 42 includes a mounting body 421 and a balancing deformation metal component 422. The mounting body 421 is used to mount the positioning seat 431, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting body 421. The balancing deformation metal component 422 is mounted on the mounting body 421, with one end connected to the end of the positioning seat 431 away from the rotating mechanism 44. By mounting the end of the mounting base 42 away from the medicine claw on the balancing deformation metal component 422, the position of the medicine claw 41 on the mounting base 42 is balanced. Specifically, the sensor 46 is a stress sensor mounted on the balancing deformation metal component 422. The amount of medicine dispensed by the medicine claw 41 when pouring medicine is determined by the cooperation of the stress sensor and the balancing deformation metal component 422. Furthermore, the structure used in the field of weighing items to obtain the amount of medicine grasped and dispensed by the medicine claw 41 through the cooperation of the stress sensor and the balancing deformation metal component 422 is a common structure. The specific connection method and working principle will not be further elaborated here.
[0040] The rotating mechanism 44 includes a rotating component 441 connected to the front end of the moving plate 432 and a rotating seat 442 disposed at the front end of the rotating component 441 and connected to the rotating mechanism 45. The rotating component 441 drives the rotating seat 442 to rotate horizontally, thereby driving the medicine claw 41 to rotate horizontally. Specifically, the rotating component 441 is a commonly used device in the field of mechanical equipment that drives relative equipment to rotate. Its specific structure and working principle will not be further described here.
[0041] The rotating mechanism 45 includes a rotating seat 451 rotatably connected to the rotating seat 442 and a rotating component disposed in the rotating seat 442 and connected to drive the rotating seat 451 to rotate up and down. When the medicine claw 41 pours medicine, the rotating component drives the rotating seat 451 to rotate up and down repeatedly, so that the medicine in the medicine claw 41 is poured out through the medicine outlet 412. Specifically, the rotating component includes a servo motor. Furthermore, the pneumatic gripper seat 4141 is connected to the rotating seat 451.
[0042] Medicine receiving box 7 is used to receive the medicinal materials poured out by medicine claw 41.

The conveying motor 833 cooperates with the conveying rack 831 and the conveying gear 832 to drive the medicine receiving box 7 to move below the medicine grabbing robot 2 so as to receive the medicine poured out by the medicine claw 41.
[0044] The automatic weighing and dispensing method using the above-mentioned weighing and dispensing machine specifically includes the following steps:
[0045] Step 1: Determine the location of the required medicinal materials, control the rotating cabinet 12 to rotate so that the corresponding medicine box 132 rotates to be opposite to the medicine-grabbing robot arm 2; then ensure that the medicine outlet 412 of the medicine claw 41 is facing upward, and control the first drive device 5 to move the gripping device 4 to the front of the corresponding medicine box 132, and then the conveying mechanism 8 will transport the medicine receiving box 7 to the area below the medicine claw 41.
[0046] Step 2: First, the second drive device 6 controls the medicine claw 41 to move downwards to above the corresponding medicine box 132. Then, the linear reciprocating mechanism 43 controls the medicine claw 41 to move in the direction close to the medicine box 132. Next, the rotating mechanism 45 controls the medicine claw 41 to rotate downwards into the medicine box 132. Then, the opening and closing mechanism 414 controls the two claw spoons 413 to open and close to complete the grasping of the medicine and the sensor 46 obtains the weight of the grasped medicine.
[0047] Step 3: The linear reciprocating mechanism 43, the rotating mechanism 45, and the second drive device 6 work together to position the medicine claw 41 directly above the medicine receiving box 7. Then, the rotating mechanism 44 controls the medicine claw 41 to rotate 180° so that the medicine outlet 412 faces downward. Then, the rotating mechanism 45 controls the medicine claw to rotate up and down, cooperating with the stress sensor and the balancing deformation metal part 422 to pour the required amount of medicine from the medicine outlet 412 into the medicine receiving box 7. Finally, the linear reciprocating mechanism 43, the rotating mechanism 45, and the second drive device 6 work together to send the remaining medicine in the medicine claw 41 back to the corresponding medicine box.
