TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medicine cabinet medicine taking, in particular to a medicine cabinet medicine taking mechanical arm. BACKGROUND
[0002] Medicines are stored in the medicine cabinet according to the set order. Due to the large number of patients in the hospital, the number of medicines in the prescription information also increases. In order to improve the efficiency of taking medicine, the hospital generally uses a medicine taking mechanical arm to automatically identify and take medicine from the medicine cabinet according to the medicine information in the prescription. The common medicine packaging in the medicine cabinet is box-shaped or jar-shaped, and the height of the jar-shaped packaging medicine placed on the medicine cabinet is generally higher than that of the box-shaped medicine.
[0003] However, the existing medicine taking mechanical arm usually uses clamping to clamp and take out the medicine, which requires a certain space between adjacent medicine boxes or medicine jars when placing them in the medicine cabinet to provide clamping space for the medicine taking mechanical arm. Since there are many medicines in the medicine cabinet, reserving a certain clamping space for each medicine or medicine jar placement will greatly reduce the utilization rate of the medicine cabinet.
[0004] In addition, when there are box-shaped packaging and jar-shaped packaging medicines in the prescription, the existing mechanical arm needs to clamp the box-shaped packaging medicine and the jar-shaped packaging medicine twice. After the box-shaped medicine is clamped out of the medicine cabinet and delivered to the patient's medicine taking area, the mechanical arm returns to the jar-shaped packaging medicine to take out the jar-shaped medicine and deliver it to the patient's medicine taking area. This requires the mechanical arm to make an extra round trip when taking box-shaped packaging and jar-shaped packaging medicines, which lengthens the entire medicine taking trip and reduces the medicine taking efficiency.
[0005] The above content is only used to assist in understanding the technical solutions of the present application and does not represent the acknowledgement of the above content as the closest prior art. SUMMARY
