Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmacy dispensing technology, specifically to an intelligent pharmacy storage cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the very high rate of visits to large hospitals and the increasing demand for medications, traditional manual medication dispensing methods are no longer sufficient in terms of speed and accuracy. Therefore, more and more hospitals are equipping their pharmacies with robotic dispensing arms to automate medication dispensing.

[0003] However, existing drug storage cabinets typically store medicine boxes vertically from bottom to top for the same type of medicine, while for different types of medicine, they are placed adjacent to each other with small gaps between adjacent boxes. As a result, when a robotic arm retrieves medicine, the opening of its gripper arm is usually only slightly larger than the width of the medicine box. The robotic arm usually uses a gripping method to remove the medicine box from the storage cabinet. To prevent the gripper arms on both sides of the robotic arm from hitting the sides of the medicine box during retrieval, the vertically placed and adjacent medicine boxes need to be neatly arranged to ensure that the orientation of the medicine box is parallel to the gripper arms of the robotic arm. However, this requires a lot of effort for staff to stack medicine boxes on the pharmacy storage cabinet, and the neatness of the stacked medicine boxes is required to be high.

[0004] In addition, the current pharmacy storage cabinets use a bottom-up arrangement of medicine boxes, which can easily cause the robotic arm's gripper to get caught between the top and bottom groups of medicines when retrieving them, resulting in the removal of two identical medicine boxes at once and a large error in medicine retrieval.

[0005] The above content is only used to help understand the technical solution of the present invention and does not represent an admission that the above content is the closest prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a smart pharmacy storage cabinet to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the high requirements for the neatness of the stacked medicine boxes during the medicine retrieval process, the need for a lot of effort, the possibility of retrieving two boxes of medicine at a time, and the large error in medicine retrieval.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A smart pharmacy storage cabinet includes a base plate, a medicine cabinet placed on the upper part of the base plate, and medicine boxes placed inside the medicine shelf, and also includes:

[0009] The medicine storage unit includes a medicine rack assembly for arranging medicine boxes containing medicine in a single layer at an angle, and a medicine dispensing assembly located on the medicine rack assembly for controlling the dispensing of medicine from a single medicine box each time medicine is taken out.

[0010] The medicine dispensing unit includes a medicine receiving frame for storing medicine boxes taken out from the medicine dispensing component, and a feeding component for adjusting the medicine receiving frame to the bottom of the corresponding medicine dispensing component and driving the medicine dispensing component to perform medicine dispensing work.

[0011] Furthermore, the medicine rack assembly includes:

[0012] The tilting rack consists of multiple sets of equally spaced tilting racks connected from top to bottom along the inner wall of the medicine rack, and the tilting racks are set at an angle.

[0013] Multiple sets of medicine loading slots are provided at equal intervals along the inclined frame for storing the medicine boxes, and the medicine boxes are arranged in a single layer inclined along the medicine loading slots;

[0014] The drug outlet is located at the inclined bottom of the drug loading tank;

[0015] The first baffle is located on one side of the drug outlet and is used to limit the position where the medicine box discharged by the drug dispensing component slides down in the drug loading tank.

[0016] A transfer groove is located inside the drug loading groove and diagonally above the drug outlet, serving to provide working space for the drug dispensing assembly.

[0017] Furthermore, the drug dispensing assembly includes:

[0018] A transfer component is rotatably disposed within the transfer groove for transferring individual medicine boxes each time medicine is dispensed;

[0019] A push plate, connected to the lower end of the transfer assembly, is used to drive the transfer assembly to rotate under the thrust of the feed assembly;

[0020] A pre-blocking component is disposed at the upper end of the transfer component and is used to block the medicine box at the upper end of the transfer component when the transfer component is not transferring.

[0021] Furthermore, the transmission component includes:

[0022] A support plate, located inside the transfer groove, is used to support the individual medicine boxes that are about to be transferred.

[0023] The first drive shaft is fixedly inserted into the inside of the support plate, and the end of the first drive shaft is rotatably inserted into the inside of the tilting frame.

[0024] Furthermore, the transmission component also includes an arc-shaped protrusion;

[0025] The arc-shaped protrusion is located at the lower end of the support plate and is used to block the medicine box that is about to enter the support plate when the support plate rotates and transfers the single medicine box at its upper end.

[0026] Furthermore, the pre-block component includes:

[0027] The drive wheel is rotatably inserted into the tilting frame via a shaft;

[0028] The second baffle, connected to one end of the transmission wheel and located at the upper end of the support plate, is used to pre-block medicine boxes that have not been transferred on the support plate;

[0029] A belt, fitted around the outside of the first drive shaft and the transmission wheel, is used to control the synchronous rotation of the support plate and the second baffle to complete the transfer of the medicine box.

[0030] Furthermore, the push plate is connected to the lower end of the support plate near the arc-shaped protrusion;

[0031] The push plate has an inclined surface located on the lower side of the side of the feed assembly.

[0032] Furthermore, the feed component includes:

[0033] The X-axis feed bar is installed on the upper end of the base plate and is used to drive the medicine receiving frame to move laterally along the medicine cabinet to select the corresponding medicine box to be taken out.

[0034] The Y-axis feed bar is slidably mounted on one side of the X-axis feed bar to drive the medicine receiving frame to move toward the medicine rack assembly;

[0035] The Z-axis feed bar is slidably disposed on one side of the X-axis feed bar, and is used to drive the medicine receiving frame to move longitudinally along the medicine cabinet to select the corresponding medicine box to be taken out.

[0036] A push rod, connected to one end of the Z-axis feed bar, is used to drive the drug dispensing assembly to rotate and complete the drug dispensing operation.

[0037] Furthermore, the receiving frame is located at the upper end of the Z-axis feed bar near the push rod, and is used to receive the medicine box transmitted by the dispensing component.

[0038] Furthermore, the lower end of the receiving frame is provided with a drug unloading component, which is used to unload the medicine box inside the receiving frame after the feeding component moves the receiving frame to the drug dispensing area.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0040] 1. This invention uses a Y-axis feed bar to move a Z-axis feed bar towards the medicine dispensing assembly. The Z-axis feed bar moves the medicine receiving frame directly below the medicine dispensing port. Simultaneously, the Z-axis feed bar, through a push rod, drives a push plate to rotate under the combined action of a guide roller and an inclined surface. The push plate drives a support plate to rotate, which in turn drives a first drive shaft to rotate relative to the inclined frame. The first drive shaft drives a transmission wheel to rotate via a belt, which in turn drives a second baffle to rotate. As the inclination of the support plate increases, the medicine boxes that were previously blocked at the top of the support plate switch from a blocked state to an open state. This allows individual medicine boxes on the support plate to slide along the support plate to the first baffle and then pass through the medicine dispensing port into the medicine receiving frame to complete the medicine retrieval process. The entire medicine retrieval process does not require the use of a clamping method, ensuring full utilization of the internal space of the medicine cabinet while also eliminating the need for neatly arranging the medicine boxes.

[0041] 2. This invention uses a push plate to drive the carrier plate to rotate, which increases the tilting range of the carrier plate. At the same time, the end of the carrier plate located at the next row of medicine boxes tilts up, and the tilted carrier plate automatically blocks the next row of medicine boxes through the arc-shaped protrusion. This prevents the next medicine box and the medicine box directly above the carrier plate from sliding down the carrier plate into the medicine receiving frame at the same time, and avoids the repeated removal of a single type of medicine box in a medicine dispensing process, thereby achieving the effect of accurate medicine dispensing.

[0042] 3. After the medicine dispensing operation is completed, the Y-axis feed bar drives the Z-axis feed bar to move away from the medicine dispensing component, causing the push rod to disengage from the push plate. Under its own gravity, the push plate drives the support plate back to the initial position. The support plate drives the belt to rotate through the first drive shaft. The belt drives the second baffle to rotate to the initial position through the transmission wheel. At this time, the next medicine box moves along the medicine filling groove to the top of the support plate, thereby achieving automatic medicine filling after each dispensing operation.

[0043] 4. This invention uses a Y-axis feed bar and a Z-axis feed bar to move the medicine receiving frame relative to the fixed frame. This causes the fixed frame to push the pad plate to move via an extension plate. The pad plate then moves the clamping plate along the clamping groove, opening the bottom of the medicine receiving frame. At this point, the medicine box inside the receiving frame falls onto the conveyor belt. The drive motor is then activated, driving the conveyor belt to carry the medicine box onto the slide plate. The medicine box slides down the slide plate to the medicine picking area for the patient to pick up, thus achieving the effect of automatic medicine delivery. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0055] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0056] Example 1

[0057] See also Figure 1-10 The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0058] A smart pharmacy storage cabinet includes a base plate 100, a medicine cabinet 101 placed on top of the base plate 100, and medicine boxes 102 placed inside the medicine shelf. It also includes:

[0059] The medicine storage unit 1 includes a medicine rack assembly 11 for arranging medicine boxes 102 containing medicine in a single layer at an inclined angle, and a medicine dispensing assembly 12 located at the medicine rack assembly 11 for controlling the dispensing of medicine from a single medicine box 102 each time medicine is taken out.

[0060] The medicine dispensing unit 2 includes a medicine receiving frame 2131 for storing the medicine box 102 taken out from the medicine dispensing component 12, and a feeding component 21 for adjusting the medicine receiving frame 2131 to the lower part of the corresponding medicine dispensing component 12 and driving the medicine dispensing component 12 to perform medicine dispensing work.

[0061] It should be noted that during use, multiple medicine boxes 102 containing medication are sequentially placed into the upper end of the inclined medicine loading slot 112. The medicine boxes 102 slide down the medicine loading slot 112, and the lowest medicine box 102 slides onto the medicine dispensing component 12. When retrieving the medication, the feeding component 21 drives the receiving frame 2131 to move below the corresponding medicine box 102 to be retrieved. At the same time, the feeding component 21 pushes the medicine dispensing component 12 to rotate, so that the single medicine box 102 on the medicine dispensing component 12 falls into the receiving frame 2131, completing the retrieval of a single medicine box 102. After the medicine dispensing component 12 is reset, the next medicine box 102 automatically slides into the medicine dispensing component 12, thus achieving the goal that the entire medication retrieval process does not require the use of a clamping method to remove the medicine box 102, avoiding the time spent on arranging the medicine boxes 102 neatly, and ensuring that only a single medicine box 102 is retrieved in each stroke, effectively avoiding the effect of retrieving the same medicine repeatedly.

[0062] As an improvement, the medicine rack assembly 11 includes:

[0063] Inclined racks 111 are connected at equal intervals from top to bottom along the inner wall of the medicine rack, and the inclined racks 111 are inclined.

[0064] The medicine loading trough 112 is provided with multiple sets at equal intervals along the inclined frame 111 for storing the medicine boxes 102. The medicine boxes 102 are arranged in a single layer at an inclined angle along the medicine loading trough 112.

[0065] The medicine outlet 113 is located at the inclined bottom of the medicine loading tank 112;

[0066] The first baffle 114 is provided on one side of the medicine outlet 113 and is used to limit the position where the medicine box 102, which is discharged from the medicine dispensing component 12, slides down into the medicine loading tank 112.

[0067] The transfer groove 115 is located inside the drug loading groove 112 and diagonally above the drug outlet 113, and is used to provide working space for the drug dispensing assembly 12.

[0068] Furthermore, the drug dispensing assembly 12 includes:

[0069] The transfer component 121 is rotatably disposed within the transfer groove 115 and is used to transfer a single medicine box 102 each time medicine is taken out;

[0070] Push plate 122 is connected to the lower end of the transmission assembly 121 and is used to drive the transmission assembly 121 to rotate under the thrust of the feed assembly 21;

[0071] The pre-blocking component 123 is disposed at the upper end of the transmission component 121 and is used to block the medicine box 102 at the upper end of the transmission component 121 when the transmission component 121 is not transmitting.

[0072] Furthermore, the transmission component 121 includes:

[0073] A support plate 1211 is disposed inside the transfer groove 115 and is used to support the individual medicine box 102 that is about to be transferred.

[0074] The first drive shaft 1213 is fixedly inserted into the bearing plate 1211, and the end of the first drive shaft 1213 is rotatably inserted into the tilting frame 111.

[0075] The transmission component 121 further includes an arc-shaped protrusion 1212;

[0076] The arc-shaped protrusion 1212 is provided at the lower end of the support plate 1211 and is used to block the medicine box 102 that is about to enter the support plate 1211 when the support plate 1211 rotates and transfers the single medicine box 102 at its upper end.

[0077] As an improvement, the pre-block component 123 includes:

[0078] The drive wheel 1232 is rotatably inserted into the tilting frame 111 via a shaft;

[0079] The second baffle 1233 is connected to one end of the transmission wheel 1232 and located at the upper end of the support plate 1211, and is used to pre-block the medicine box 102 that has not been passed on the support plate 1211.

[0080] The belt 1231 is sleeved on the outside of the first drive shaft 1213 and the transmission wheel 1232, and is used to control the synchronous rotation of the bearing plate 1211 and the second baffle 1233 to complete the transfer of the medicine box 102.

[0081] Furthermore, the push plate 122 is connected to the lower end of the support plate 1211 near the arc-shaped protrusion 1212;

[0082] The push plate 122 has an inclined surface 1221 on its lower side, which is located on one side of the feed assembly 21.

[0083] As an improvement, the feed assembly 21 includes:

[0084] X-axis feed bar 211 is installed on the upper end of the base plate 100 and is used to drive the medicine receiving frame 2131 to move laterally along the medicine cabinet 101 to select the corresponding medicine box 102 to be taken out.

[0085] Y-axis feed bar 212 is slidably mounted on one side of X-axis feed bar 211 and is used to drive the medicine receiving frame 2131 to move toward the medicine rack assembly 11;

[0086] Z-axis feed bar 213 is slidably disposed on one side of X-axis feed bar 211, and is used to drive the medicine receiving frame 2131 to move longitudinally along the medicine cabinet 101 to select the corresponding medicine box 102 to be taken out.

[0087] Push rod 214 is connected to one end of the Z-axis feed bar 213 and is used to push the drug dispensing assembly 12 to rotate to complete the drug dispensing operation;

[0088] Preferably, a guide roller 2141 is rotatably embedded at the end of the push rod 214 that contacts the inclined surface 1221 to reduce the friction between the push rod 214 and the inclined surface 1221.

[0089] Furthermore, the medicine receiving frame 2131 is located at the upper end of the Z-axis feed bar 213 near the push rod 214, and is used to receive the medicine box 102 transmitted by the medicine dispensing component 12.

[0090] It should be added that the X-axis feed bar 211, Y-axis feed bar 212 and Z-axis feed bar 213 are all equipped with a drive mechanism for moving them in pairs to complete the docking of the medicine frame 2131 for position adjustment. The working principle can refer to the principle of tool feeding of existing three-axis CNC lathes.

[0091] It should be noted that: in the specific implementation process of this invention, initially, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the support plate 1211 and the drug loading tank 112 are on the same inclined plane. The medicine boxes 102 corresponding to different types of drugs are placed in different drug loading tanks 112 in sequence. The medicine boxes 102 are arranged in a single layer inclined upward along the inclined drug loading tank 112, and the lowest medicine box 102 is located on the upper end of the support plate 1211 and is blocked by the second baffle 1233.

[0092] When picking up the medicine, such as Figure 4-6 As shown, the X-axis feed bar 211 drives the Y-axis feed bar 212 to move to one side of the dispensing component 12 located in the dispensing box 102. Subsequently, the Y-axis feed bar 212 drives the Z-axis feed bar 213 to move towards the dispensing component 12. The Z-axis feed bar 213 drives the receiving frame 2131 to move directly below the dispensing port 113. At the same time, the Z-axis feed bar 213 drives the push plate 122 to rotate through the push rod 214 under the action of the guide roller 2141 and the inclined surface 1221. The push plate 122 drives the bearing plate 1211 to rotate. The bearing plate 1211 drives the first drive shaft 1213 to rotate relative to the inclined frame 111. The first drive shaft 1213 is driven by a belt. 1231 drives the transmission wheel 1232 to rotate, and the transmission wheel 1232 drives the second baffle 1233 to rotate. As the tilt of the support plate 1211 increases, the medicine box 102 that was originally blocked at the top of the support plate 1211 switches from the blocked state to the released state. This allows the individual medicine box 102 on the support plate 1211 to slide along the support plate 1211 to the first baffle 114, and then fall into the medicine receiving frame 2131 through the medicine outlet 113 to complete the medicine retrieval. The entire medicine retrieval process does not require the use of a clamping method. While ensuring full utilization of the internal space of the medicine cabinet 101, it also saves the work of arranging the medicine boxes 102 neatly.

[0093] like Figure 4-6 As shown, the push plate 122 mentioned above drives the support plate 1211 to rotate, which increases the tilting range of the support plate 1211. At the same time, the end of the support plate 1211 located in the next row of medicine boxes 102 is raised. The raised support plate 1211 automatically blocks the next row of medicine boxes 102 through the arc-shaped protrusion 1212, preventing the next medicine box 102 and the medicine box 102 directly above the support plate 1211 from sliding down the support plate 1211 into the medicine receiving frame 2131 at the same time. This prevents a single type of medicine box 102 from being repeatedly taken out in one medicine dispensing stroke, thereby achieving the effect of accurate medicine dispensing.

[0094] After the medicine dispensing operation is completed, the Y-axis feed bar 212 drives the Z-axis feed bar 213 to move away from the medicine dispensing component 12, causing the push rod 214 to disengage from the push plate 122. Under its own weight, the push plate 122 drives the support plate 1211 back to its initial position. The support plate 1211 drives the belt 1231 to rotate through the first drive shaft 1213. The belt 1231 drives the second baffle 1233 to rotate to its initial position through the transmission wheel 1232. At this time, the next medicine box 102 moves along the medicine loading groove 112 to the top of the support plate 1211, thus achieving the automatic medicine dispensing operation after each dispensing operation.

[0095] Example 2

[0096] like Figure 7-10 As shown, components that are the same as or corresponding to those in Embodiment 1 are referred to using the same reference numerals as in Embodiment 1. For simplicity, only the differences from Embodiment 1 are described below. The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is as follows:

[0097] The lower end of the receiving frame 2131 is provided with a drug unloading component 22, which is used to unload the medicine box 102 in the receiving frame 2131 after the feeding component 21 moves the receiving frame 2131 to the drug dispensing area.

[0098] The unloading assembly 22 includes:

[0099] The pad 221 has two sets of clamping plates 2212 connected to its upper end, and the Z-axis feed bar 213 has two sets of slots 2132 at its lower end, and the clamping plates 2212 are slidably inserted into the slots 2132.

[0100] An extension plate 2211 is connected to the lower end of the pad 221 near the side.

[0101] The slide bar 222 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the pad 221 and located on one side of the medicine receiving frame 2131;

[0102] A fixing block 223 is connected to the lower end of the Z-axis feed bar 213 away from the slide bar 222;

[0103] The guide rod 224 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed block 223, and the guide rod 224 is slidably inserted into the pre-reserved hole inside the slide rod 222;

[0104] The return spring 225 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 224 to press against the slide rod 222.

[0105] The medicine cabinet 101 is provided with a medicine delivery unit 3 on one side for delivering the retrieved medicine box 102 into the medicine dispensing area. The medicine delivery unit 3 includes:

[0106] A conveyor frame 31 is installed on the upper end of the base plate 100, and a drive motor 311 is provided on one side of it;

[0107] Conveyor belt 32 is disposed inside the conveyor frame 31 and driven by drive motor 311;

[0108] The fixing frame 33 is connected to the upper end of the conveyor frame 31 and is used to push the unloading assembly 22 along the bottom of the receiving frame 2131 so that the medicine box 102 falls from the receiving frame 2131 into the upper end of the conveyor belt 32.

[0109] A sliding plate 34 is installed on the upper end of the base plate 100 and located at one end of the conveyor frame 31. The sliding plate 34 is inclined.

[0110] The medication collection area 35 is equipped with a sliding plate 34 at its lower end, which is used to receive the medicine box 102 after the sliding plate 34 slides down, for patients to collect.

[0111] It should be noted that: such as Figure 8-10 As shown, after the medicine receiving frame 2131 removes the medicine box 102 from the medicine cabinet 101, the feeding component 21 is adjusted to move the medicine receiving frame 2131 to one side of the fixed frame 33, so that the extension plate 2211 corresponds to one side of the fixed frame 33. Subsequently, the Y-axis feed bar 212 drives the medicine receiving frame 2131 to move relative to the fixed frame 33 through the Z-axis feed bar 213, so that the fixed frame 33 pushes the pad 221 to move through the extension plate 2211. The pad 221 moves along the guide rod 224 through the slide bar 222 and gradually presses down. The return spring 225 is retracted. At the same time, the pad 221 drives the card plate 2212 to move along the card slot 2132, so that the bottom of the medicine receiving frame 2131 is opened. At this time, the medicine box 102 in the medicine receiving frame 2131 falls onto the conveyor belt 32. The drive motor 311 is turned on, and the drive motor 311 drives the conveyor belt 32 to perform transmission, so that the medicine box 102 that fell on the conveyor belt 32 is carried into the slide plate 34. The medicine box 102 slides on the slide plate 34 to the medicine picking area 35 for the patient to pick up, thereby realizing the effect of automatic medicine delivery of the medicine box 102.

[0112] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0113] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
