Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automatic drug sorting, and particularly to a rapid Chinese medicine sorting device in a Chinese medicine pharmacy. Background Art

[0002] Chinese medicine needs to be used under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory for preventing, treating, and diagnosing diseases and having the functions of rehabilitation and health care. Therefore, the ingredients and content of Chinese medicine need to be accurate. Lack of a certain medicinal material or the content of the medicinal material not meeting the standard will affect the efficacy of the drug and even pose risks such as poisoning. The traditional method of grabbing Chinese medicine is that after prescription review and pricing, each medicinal material in the prescription is grabbed manually and weighed separately, and then repackaged or mixed and packed after verification. Such a method has low efficiency. Especially in hospitals and pharmacies with a large flow of people, it not only cannot meet the demand for Chinese medicine from a large number of customers, but also the repeated manual grabbing and weighing processes are prone to mistakes due to fatigue.

[0003] To solve the above problems, various devices that can realize automatic drug sorting have been introduced in large pharmacies. The automatic drug sorting device generally consists of multiple medicine boxes. The system will transfer the corresponding amount of drugs from the corresponding medicine boxes to the packing place for packing according to the required drug categories and weight requirements.

[0004] Regarding the above related technologies, the arrangement of medicine boxes in general automatic drug sorting devices is usually arranged in several layers in an array. Such a design makes the volume of each automatic drug sorting device large, resulting in a large space occupancy rate of each automatic drug sorting device and unable to meet the needs of small-volume pharmacies for storing a variety of drugs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to reduce the space occupancy rate of the drug sorting device and meet the need for small-volume pharmacies to be able to automatically sort more varieties of drugs, the present application provides a rapid Chinese medicine sorting device in a Chinese medicine pharmacy.

[0006] A rapid Chinese medicine sorting device in a Chinese medicine pharmacy provided by the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

The support table is rotatably provided with a second feeding cylinder, and the second feeding cylinder is sleeved on the first feeding cylinder. A second support plate is arranged along the circumferential surface of the second feeding cylinder. A first feeding port is opened on the side wall of the first feeding cylinder. A first driving component for driving the second feeding cylinder to rotate is arranged in the support table. A plurality of medicine sorting components are arranged on the first support plate and the second support plate;

[0008] The medicine dispensing component of the first support plate conveys the medicine into the first material transfer cylinder from the top opening of the first material transfer cylinder;

[0009] The second material transfer cylinder drives the medicine dispensing component of the second support plate to align with the first material transfer port, and the medicine is conveyed into the first material transfer cylinder from the first material transfer port;

[0010] The medicine is conveyed out of the support platform from the first material transfer cylinder.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when conveying the medicine of the medicine dispensing component of the first support plate, the medicine dispensing component storing the corresponding medicine on the first support plate discharges a certain amount of medicine, and then the medicine is conveyed into the first material transfer cylinder from the top opening of the first material transfer cylinder, and then is conveyed out of the support platform by the first material transfer cylinder to the packing place for packing;

[0012] When conveying the medicine of the medicine dispensing component of the second support plate, the first driving component drives the second material transfer cylinder to rotate, and the second material transfer cylinder drives the second support plate to rotate, so that the medicine dispensing component storing the corresponding medicine on the second support plate aligns with the first material transfer port. The medicine dispensing component of the corresponding medicine discharges a certain amount of medicine from the medicine dispensing component and conveys it into the first material transfer cylinder from the first material transfer port, and then is conveyed out of the support platform by the first material transfer cylinder to the packing place for packing, thus completing the sorting of the medicine of the first support plate and the second support plate. And the structural design of this equipment enables the medicine dispensing components to be arranged around the circumferential surface of the first material transfer cylinder. The circumferential arrangement of the medicine dispensing components replaces the array arrangement of the conveyor, realizing the reduction of the space occupancy rate of the medicine sorting equipment and meeting the requirement that a small-volume pharmacy can also automatically sort more kinds of medicines.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the first motor drives the first driving gear to rotate, and the first driving gear drives the first driven gear to rotate, realizing that the first driven gear drives the second material transfer cylinder to rotate.

[0015] Optionally, the first support plate is connected to a first connecting plate, the first connecting plate is connected to the top of the first material transfer cylinder, the second support plate is connected to a second connecting plate, the second connecting plate is connected to the top surface of the second material transfer cylinder, the top surface of the second material transfer cylinder and the inner bottom wall of the first material transfer port are located on the same horizontal plane, the first support plate and the second support plate are annular plates, the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are conical, and a guiding plate for smoothly flowing the medicine to the first material transfer port is provided on the side wall of the first material transfer cylinder.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the medicine can directly slide into the first material transfer cylinder along the first connecting plate, and the second connecting plate cooperating with the guiding plate can make the medicine slide along the second connecting plate to the first material transfer port, so that the medicine of the medicine dispensing assembly on the first support plate and the second support plate can be smoothly conveyed into the first material transfer cylinder.

[0017] Optionally, a third material transfer cylinder is rotatably arranged on the support table, a third connecting plate is connected to the top of the third material transfer cylinder, the third connecting plate is connected to a third support plate, the third connecting plate is conical, the third support plate is an annular plate, a connection port is opened on the side wall of the second material transfer cylinder, a second material transfer port is opened on the side wall of the first material transfer cylinder, the connection port is communicated with the second material transfer port, the top of the third material transfer cylinder is connected to the connection port, the first material transfer cylinder is rotatably connected to the support table, and a second driving assembly for simultaneously driving the first material transfer cylinder and the second material transfer cylinder to rotate is arranged in the support table.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when conveying the medicine of the medicine dispensing assembly on the third support plate, the first driving assembly drives the second material transfer cylinder to rotate, so that the connection port and the second material transfer port are communicated and overlapped, then the first passive gear is separated from the first active gear, and then the second driving assembly drives the first material transfer cylinder and the second material transfer cylinder to rotate simultaneously, so that the connection port and the second material transfer port are aligned with the medicine dispensing assembly corresponding to the corresponding medicine on the third support plate. The medicine dispensing assembly corresponding to the corresponding medicine discharges a certain amount of medicine from the medicine dispensing assembly and passes through the connection port and the second material transfer port in sequence. Finally, the medicine is introduced into the first material transfer cylinder, and then is sent out of the support table by the first material transfer cylinder to the packing place for packing, so that more types of medicine can be placed on the sorting and medicine grabbing device.

A first hydraulic cylinder and a second hydraulic cylinder are provided within the support platform. The first hydraulic cylinder is connected to the first motor. The second hydraulic cylinder is connected to the second motor.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, after the connection port coincides with the second material conveying port, the first hydraulic cylinder drives the first motor away from the first material conveying cylinder, thereby separating the first driving gear from the first driven gear. Then, the second hydraulic cylinder pushes the second motor closer to the first material conveying cylinder, causing the second driving gear to mesh with the second driven gear and the third driving gear to mesh with the first driven gear. Then, the second motor rotates the second driving gear and the third driving gear simultaneously, thereby enabling the first material conveying cylinder and the second material conveying cylinder to rotate at the same speed, ensuring that the connection port and the second material conveying port are always in a coincident state and can be aligned with the medicine dispensing assembly on the corresponding third support plate.

A through hole for the motion block to pass through is formed on the guide plate. When the motion sensor is activated and the motion block is located within the through hole, the first motor stops rotating to connect the connection port with the second material conveying port.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, after the medicines of the medicine dispensing assemblies on the first support plate and the second support plate are conveyed, the connection port and the second material conveying port are staggered from each other. At this time, the motion sensor is activated, and the first motor is started to drive the second material conveying cylinder to rotate alone. The second material conveying cylinder drives the second connecting plate to rotate. When the motion block just passes by the motion sensor, the first motor stops operating, and the connection port just coincides with the second material conveying port, realizing the position adjustment of the connection port and the second material conveying port, thereby facilitating the conveyance of the medicines of the medicine dispensing assembly on the third support plate.

The first sliders and the second sliders can rotate around the axis of the first material transfer cylinder.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the support rods cooperate with the first sliders and the second sliders to provide a supporting effect for the first support plate, the second support plate and the third support plate, reducing the situation that the first support plate, the second support plate and the third support plate are deformed by the multiple medicine dispensing components.

[0025] Optionally, the medicine dispensing component includes a first base and a second base. A first gravity sensor is arranged on the first base, and the first gravity sensor is connected to a medicine hopper. A second gravity sensor is arranged on the second base, and the second gravity sensor is connected to a dispensing hopper. The medicine hopper is communicated with the dispensing hopper. A transmission member for transmitting the medicine to the dispensing hopper is arranged in the medicine hopper.

The second sliders 35 are slidably arranged in the second slide rail 45.

[0054] A plurality of medicine dispensing components 8 are respectively installed along the circumferences of the first support plate 34, the second support plate 43, and the third support plate 62.

[0055] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown in, two guide plates 36 are installed on the side of the first material transfer cylinder 3. The two guide plates 36 are located at the first material transfer opening 31, and the guide plates 36 are in contact with the second connecting plate 42. A motion sensor 37 is installed on one of the guide plates 36, a motion block 46 is fixed on the second connecting plate 42, and through holes 361 for the motion block 46 to pass through are formed in both of the guide plates 36 located at the first material transfer opening 31.

[0056] When the medicine of the medicine dispensing component 8 on the first support plate 34 is being transferred, the medicine dispensing component 8 storing the corresponding medicine on the first support plate 34 discharges a certain amount of medicine. Then the medicine slides from the first connecting plate 33 to the top opening of the first material transfer cylinder 3 and is transferred into the first material transfer cylinder 3, and then is transferred out of the support platform 2 by the first material transfer cylinder 3 to the packing place for packing, completing the sorting of the medicine on the first support plate 34;

[0057] When the medicine of the medicine dispensing component 8 on the second support plate 43 is being transferred, the first driving component 5 drives the second material transfer cylinder 4 to rotate, and the second material transfer cylinder 4 drives the second support plate 43 to rotate, so that the medicine dispensing component 8 storing the corresponding medicine on the second support plate 43 is aligned with the first material transfer opening 31. The medicine dispensing component 8 of the corresponding medicine discharges a certain amount of medicine from the medicine dispensing component 8 and passes through the first material transfer opening 31 into the first material transfer cylinder 3, and then is transferred out of the support platform 2 by the first material transfer cylinder 3 to the packing place for packing, completing the sorting of the medicine on the second support plate 43;

[0058] When the medicine of the medicine dispensing component 8 on the third support plate 62 is being transferred, the first driving component 5 drives the second material transfer cylinder 4 to rotate, so that the connection port 41 is communicated with and coincides with the second material transfer port 32.

The medicine dispensing component 8 of the corresponding medicine discharges a certain amount of medicine from the medicine dispensing component 8 and passes through the connection port 41 and the second material transfer port 32 in sequence. Finally, the medicine is transferred into the first material transfer cylinder 3, and then is transferred out of the support platform 2 by the first material transfer cylinder 3 to the packing place for packing, completing the sorting of the medicine on the third support plate 62.

[0059] Among them, after the drugs of the medicine dispensing assembly 8 on the first support plate 34 and the second support plate 43 are delivered, the connection port 41 and the second material transfer port 32 are staggered from each other. At this time, the motion sensor 37 is activated, and the first driving assembly 5 is activated to drive the second material transfer cylinder 4 to rotate independently. The second material transfer cylinder 4 drives the second connecting plate 42 to rotate. When the moving block 46 just passes by the motion sensor 37, the first motor 51 stops operating, and the connection port 41 just coincides with the second material transfer port 32, realizing the position adjustment of the connection port 41 and the second material transfer port 32, so as to facilitate the continuous delivery of the drugs of the medicine dispensing assembly 8 on the third support plate 62.

[0060] As Figure 4 , the first driving assembly 5 includes a first motor 51. The inner side wall of the support table 2 is provided with a first hydraulic cylinder 52. The piston rod of the first hydraulic cylinder 52 is connected to the first motor 51. A first driving gear 53 is coaxially fixed to the driving shaft of the first motor 51. A first driven gear 47 is coaxially fixed to the end of the second material transfer cylinder 4 extending into the support table 2.

[0061] As Figure 5 , the second driving assembly 7 includes a second motor 71. The inner side wall of the support table 2 is provided with a second hydraulic cylinder 72. The first hydraulic cylinder 52 and the second hydraulic cylinder 72 are arranged oppositely. The second hydraulic cylinder 72 is connected to the second motor 71. A second driving gear 73 and a third driving gear 74 are coaxially fixed to the driving shaft of the second motor 71. A second driven gear 38 is coaxially fixed to the end of the first material transfer cylinder 3 extending into the support table 2. The second driving gear 73 can be engaged with the second driven gear 38. The third driving gear 74 can be engaged with the first driven gear 47.

[0062] The size of the second driven gear 38 is larger than that of the first driven gear 47. The transmission ratio of the second driving gear 73 and the second driven gear 38 is the same as the transmission ratio of the third driving gear 74 and the first driven gear 47.

[0063] Both the first driven gear 47 and the second driven gear 38 are located below the axis of the driving shaft of the second motor 71.

[0064] As Figure 3 and Figure 6 , the medicine dispensing assembly 8 includes a first base 81 and a second base 82. A first gravity sensor 83 is fixedly installed on the first base 81.

A dosing hopper 86 is fixed to the top of the second gravity sensor 85. The medicine hopper 84 is communicated with the dosing hopper 86. A transfer member 87 for transferring the drugs to the dosing hopper 86 is arranged in the medicine hopper 84. A partition door 88 is hinged to the dosing hopper 86. An opening member 89 for opening the partition door 88 is arranged on the dosing hopper 86.

[0065] The conveying member 87 includes a third motor 871 which is installed on the end face of the medicine hopper 84 away from the sub-hopper 86. The third motor 871 is connected with a transmission screw 872 which is rotatably connected in the medicine hopper 84.

[0066] The opening member 89 includes a third hydraulic cylinder 891 which is hinged to the side wall of the sub-hopper 86. The piston rod of the third hydraulic cylinder 891 is connected with a push rod 892. A connecting block 893 is arranged on the partition door 88, and the push rod 892 is buckled on the connecting block 893.

[0067] The first gravity sensor 83 detects the weight of the medicine in the medicine hopper 84, which is convenient for the staff to replenish the medicine in the medicine hopper 84 in time. When discharging, the third motor 871 drives the transmission screw 872 to rotate, so that the transmission screw 872 transports the medicine in the medicine hopper 84 into the sub-hopper 86. When the discharging of the medicine hopper 84 meets the requirements, the first gravity sensor 83 sends a signal to stop the operation of the third motor 871. The second gravity sensor 85 senses the weight of the medicine in the sub-hopper 86. When the weight of the medicine in the sub-hopper 86 reaches the set requirement, the second gravity sensor 85 sends a signal, and the piston rod of the third hydraulic cylinder 891 extends to push the push rod 892 to move. The push rod 892 pushes the connecting block 893 to move, thereby driving the partition door 88 to open, so as to discharge the medicine from the sub-hopper 86 and achieve the effect of quantitatively taking out the medicine.

[0068] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when conveying the medicine of the medicine dispensing assembly 8 on the first support plate 34, the medicine dispensing assembly 8 storing the corresponding medicine on the first support plate 34 discharges a certain amount of medicine from the medicine dispensing assembly 8. Then the medicine is conveyed into the first feeding cylinder 3 through the top opening of the first feeding cylinder 3, and then is conveyed out of the support table 2 by the first feeding cylinder 3 to the packing place for packing;

[0069] When conveying the medicine of the medicine dispensing assembly 8 on the second support plate 43, the first driving assembly 5 drives the second feeding cylinder 4 to rotate, and the second feeding cylinder 4 drives the second support plate 43 to rotate, so that the medicine dispensing assembly 8 storing the corresponding medicine on the second support plate 43 is aligned with the first feeding port. The medicine dispensing assembly 8 of the corresponding medicine discharges a certain amount of medicine from the medicine dispensing assembly 8 and conveys it into the first feeding cylinder 3 through the first feeding port 31, and then is conveyed out of the support table 2 by the first feeding cylinder 3 to the packing place for packing;

[0070] When delivering the drugs of the drug dispensing assembly 8 on the third support plate 62, the first driving assembly 5 drives the second feeding cylinder 4 to rotate, so that the connection port 41 communicates and coincides with the second feeding port 32. Then, the second driving assembly 7 drives the first feeding cylinder 3 and the second feeding cylinder 4 to rotate simultaneously, so that the connection port 41 and the second feeding port 32 are aligned with the drug dispensing assembly 8 corresponding to the drugs on the third support plate 62. The drug dispensing assembly 8 corresponding to the drugs discharges a certain amount of drugs from the drug dispensing assembly 8 and successively passes through the connection port 41 and the second feeding port 32. Finally, the drugs are introduced into the first feeding cylinder 3 and then sent out from the first feeding cylinder 3 to the support table 2 to the packing place for packing, completing the drug sorting of the third support plate 62.

[0071] The structural design of this kind of equipment enables the drug dispensing assemblies 8 to be arranged around the circumferential surface of the first feeding cylinder 3. The drug dispensing assemblies 8 adopt a circumferential arrangement method to replace the array arrangement method of transmission, realizing the reduction of the space occupancy rate of the drug sorting equipment and meeting the requirement that small-volume pharmacies can also automatically sort more kinds of drugs.

[0072] Embodiment 2

[0073] Refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the third feeding cylinder 6 is rotatably connected to the support table 2. A third driven gear 66 is coaxially fixed at the end of the third feeding cylinder 6 on the support table 2. The size of the third driven gear 66 is the same as that of the second driven gear 38. The third driven gear 66 is located above the axis of the driving shaft of the second motor 71, and the third driven gear 66 can be engaged with the second driving gear 73.

[0074] The implementation principle of Embodiment 2 is as follows: The second hydraulic cylinder 72 drives the second motor 71 to move. The second motor 71 drives the second driving gear 73 to be engaged with both the second driven gear 38 and the third driven gear 66, and the third driving gear 74 is engaged with the first driven gear 47. When the second motor 71 is started, the first feeding cylinder 3 and the second feeding cylinder 4 rotate at the same speed, and the third feeding cylinder 6 rotates in the opposite direction at the same speed, so that the drug dispensing mechanism on the third support plate 62 can be more quickly aligned with the connection port 41 and the second feeding port 32, improving the efficiency of drug transmission. At the same time, when a prescription is provided with multiple traditional Chinese medicine quick sorting devices of the present application in a pharmacy, the manipulator for supplementing drugs into the medicine hopper 84 can be installed between several traditional Chinese medicine quick sorting devices in the pharmacy. When the drug dispensing mechanisms on the first support plate 34, the second support plate 43 and the third support plate 62 can all rotate, filling can be carried out at the manipulator, which is convenient for simplifying the stroke design of the manipulator and further reducing the space occupancy rate of the pharmacy.

[0075] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and do not limit the protection scope of this application accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of this application shall be covered within the protection scope of this application.
