Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tablet cutting technology, specifically a novel tablet cutting mechanism and a method for cutting and separating drugs. Background Technology

[0002] A medicine cutter is a tool used to cut medicinal materials or tablets into appropriate sizes. Medicine cutters come in a variety of types and forms, including slicing knives and separating tools. Their materials and designs also vary to meet different cutting needs and usage scenarios.

[0003] Currently, most pill cutters on the market are manual. You place a pill on a small slicer, visually check if it's centered, and then press down firmly with your hand to apply pressure to the slicer blade, cutting it in half (1 / 2 or 1 / 4). The cut slice is then removed before proceeding to the next. This method is slow and inconvenient for pharmacies and hospitals when cutting large quantities of pills, especially for people with disabilities. Furthermore, the varying shapes of medicine bottles make it difficult to center the pill stably during cutting, preventing even division. Therefore, this method needs modification and optimization. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel tablet cutting mechanism and a method for cutting and dispensing medicine, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a novel tablet cutting mechanism, comprising a frame, and an upper cutting module and a lower cutting module mounted on the frame;

[0006] The upper blade module is connected to the frame via a lifting mechanism and is located above the lower blade module. The upper blade is located at the bottom of the upper blade module.

[0007] The lower blade module is equipped with a lower blade corresponding to the upper blade, as well as a drug dispensing mechanism, a drug clamping mechanism, and a drug dispensing mechanism;

[0008] The dispensing mechanism includes at least two dispensing plates, namely a first dispensing plate and a second dispensing plate, distributed around the lower blade, and a dispensing plate driving mechanism for driving the dispensing plates to rotate up and down. When the first dispensing plate and the second dispensing plate rotate to a horizontal state, they are flush with the blade of the lower blade to support the tablet.

[0009] The clamping mechanism includes left and right clamping blocks located above the lower blade and arranged opposite to each other, and left and right drive mechanisms for driving the left and right clamping blocks to move relative to each other to clamp or release the tablets;

[0010] The dispensing mechanism includes a medicine chamber located below the lower blade. The medicine chamber is divided into four dispensing compartments in a grid pattern. Each dispensing compartment has a medicine support plate that can rotate up and down to open or close it. The four medicine support plates are linked to the left and right drive mechanisms respectively, so that each medicine support plate can rotate up and down independently.

[0011] Preferably, the left and right drive mechanisms are independent of each other and symmetrically arranged. Each drive mechanism includes a lead screw motor and a corresponding lead screw. The left and right medicine clamping blocks are connected to medicine clamping connecting rods, which are threadedly connected to the lead screws so that they can be driven by them. The front and rear sides of the medicine clamping connecting rods are respectively provided with a first rack and a second rack that are offset in the left and right directions. The two medicine supporting plates on the left and right sides are respectively connected to a first gear and a second gear. The first gear and the second gear mesh with the first rack and the second rack, respectively, so that the left and right drive mechanisms can drive the two medicine supporting plates on the left and right sides in a linkage manner, and can control the independent rotation of each medicine supporting plate according to the movement stroke of the medicine clamping connecting rods.

[0012] Preferably, the frame includes: a base one, a base two, a bracket, and a top cover; the base two is fixedly disposed above the base one, the bracket is fixedly disposed above the base two, the top cover is fixedly disposed above the bracket, and an outer shell is fixedly installed on the top of the frame;

[0013] The lifting mechanism includes a second slider that drives the support frame to move downward, a base plate that is fixedly connected to the lower support frame, and a second screw motor that drives the top cover to move downward, with a support frame fixedly connected below the second screw motor.

[0014] Preferably, it also includes a cleaning mechanism, which includes a cleaning powder suction port fixedly disposed on the side of the base plate for cleaning, a cleaning vent hole disposed on the top of the outer shell for air discharge, and a cleaning scraper disposed below the first and second medicine dispensing plates for cleaning powder.

[0015] It also includes a sliding mechanism, which includes a slider 1 fixed above the base 2, a slide rail movably mounted above the slider 1 for sliding, a push plate fixed above the slide rail for pushing, and a handle fixedly mounted on one side of the push plate for pulling.

[0016] Preferably, it further includes a fixing post rotatably mounted on one end of the lead screw for fixing the lead screw, a reset spring one fixedly mounted on the side of the medicine compartment for resetting the medicine support plate two, a reset spring two fixedly mounted on the side of the medicine compartment for resetting the medicine support plate one, and a fixing frame fixedly installed inside the medicine compartment.

[0017] Preferably, it also includes an upper blade buffer disposed above the base plate for shock absorption during upper blade cutting, and a cutting spring column is fixedly installed above the upper blade buffer. The drug dispensing plate driving mechanism includes at least two drug dispensing plate driving mechanisms and a drug dispensing plate rotation gear for simultaneously driving each drug dispensing plate driving mechanism.

[0018] It also includes a detection mechanism, which includes a medicine-supporting plate sensing sheet located on the inner side of the base for detecting the medicine-supporting plate and a medicine-supporting plate sensor located below the medicine compartment for detection, and a lead screw motor and a medicine-supporting plate sensing plate located on one side of the medicine-dispensing plate driving mechanism for detecting the medicine-dispensing plate.

[0019] Preferably, it also includes an upper blade replacement handle that is movably mounted on top of the upper blade buffer for replacing the upper blade.

[0020] Preferably, the steps are as follows:

[0021] S1, When the staff needs to cut the tablets, firstly, by rotating the dispensing plate drive mechanism, one side of dispensing plate one and dispensing plate two will be moved upward. When one side of dispensing plate one and dispensing plate two is perpendicular to the downward cutter, stop rotating the dispensing plate drive mechanism.

[0022] S2, place the tablet above the lower blade, then start the lead screw motor one, drive the lead screw to rotate, which will drive the medicine clamping link to move forward, which will drive the left and right medicine clamping blocks to move forward;

[0023] S3, when the left and right clamping blocks move to the surface of the tablet, the lead screw motor will stop. Then, by pushing the sliding mechanism, the lifting mechanism will be activated to drive the upper blade to descend. When the upper blade descends and contacts the tablet, the left and right clamping blocks move away from the tablet. The upper blade continues to descend. When the tablet is cut, it will fall into the inside of the medicine chamber.

[0024] S4. When the cut tablet falls above the first and second medicine trays, the tablet needs to be removed from the inside of either the first or second medicine tray.

[0025] S5, by starting the lead screw motor, when the lead screw motor starts, it will drive the lead screw to rotate. When the lead screw rotates, it will drive the first rack and the second rack to move. When the first rack and the second rack mesh with the corresponding first rack and the second rack, it will drive the corresponding medicine plate to open.

[0026] S6, when the first rack and the second rack separate from their respective first rack and second rack, the first reset spring and the second reset spring will respectively drive the corresponding medicine support plate to reset and close the corresponding medicine dispensing compartment.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0028] 1. This invention utilizes a rotating drug-dispensing plate drive mechanism to align one side of drug-dispensing plates one and two perpendicular to the lower blade. The tablet is then placed above the lower blade. The screw motor is activated, bringing the left and right clamping blocks into contact with the tablet's surface. A sliding mechanism is then pushed to align the tablet with the upper blade. Finally, a lifting mechanism is activated, causing the upper blade to descend and cut the tablet. Compared to traditional devices, this invention can cut tablets quickly, making it suitable for large-volume drug cutting in pharmacies or hospitals. It is convenient to use and accessible to people with disabilities, significantly increasing its applicability and working efficiency.

[0029] 2. This invention activates a lead screw motor, which rotates the lead screw and moves the second rack. When the second rack meshes with the second gear, one side of the medicine tray rotates to the bottom of the other side, opening the medicine tray. When the second rack separates from the medicine tray, the return spring returns the medicine tray to its original position. Compared with traditional devices, this device can store and dispense pills through a dispensing mechanism, improving the device's efficiency. It allows each medicine compartment to hold medicine independently, and the medicine tray can be opened individually even when there is only one box at the bottom, further improving the dispensing efficiency.

[0040] 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.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a novel tablet cutting mechanism, including a frame, and an upper blade module and a lower blade module mounted on the frame;

[0042] The upper blade module is connected to the frame via a lifting mechanism and is located above the lower blade module. The bottom of the upper blade module is equipped with an upper blade 28.

[0043] The lower blade module is equipped with a lower blade 11 corresponding to the upper blade 28, as well as a drug dispensing mechanism, a drug clamping mechanism, and a drug dispensing mechanism;

[0044] The dispensing mechanism includes at least two dispensing plates 1-9 and 2-10 distributed around the lower blade, and a dispensing plate driving mechanism for driving the dispensing plates to rotate up and down. When the dispensing plates 1-9 and 2-10 rotate to a horizontal state, they are flush with the blade of the lower blade 11 to support the tablet.

[0045] The clamping mechanism includes left and right clamping blocks 12 located above the lower blade 11 and arranged opposite to each other, and left and right drive mechanisms for driving the left and right clamping blocks 12 to move relative to each other to clamp or release the tablets;

[0046] The dispensing mechanism includes a medicine chamber 24 located below the lower blade 11. The medicine chamber 24 is divided into four dispensing chambers in a grid pattern. Each dispensing chamber has a medicine support plate that can rotate up and down to open or close it. The four medicine support plates are linked to the left and right drive mechanisms respectively, so that each medicine support plate can rotate up and down independently.

[0047] When the operator needs to cut the tablets, firstly, the dispensing plate drive mechanism 8 is rotated. As the dispensing plate drive mechanism 8 rotates, it causes one side of the dispensing plate 9 and the second dispensing plate 10 to move upwards. When one side of the dispensing plate 9 and the second dispensing plate 10 is perpendicular to the lower cutter 11, the rotation of the dispensing plate drive mechanism 8 is stopped. Then, the tablet is placed above the lower cutter 11, and then the lead screw motor 7 is started. When the lead screw motor 7 starts, it drives the lead screw 16 to rotate. When the lead screw 16 rotates, because the clamping connecting rod 13 and the lead screw 16 are threadedly connected, the lead screw 16... Rotation of 6 will cause the clamping link 13 to move forward. When the clamping link 13 moves forward, it will cause the left and right clamping blocks 12 to move forward. When the left and right clamping blocks 12 move to the surface of the tablet, the lead screw motor 7 will stop. Then, by pushing the sliding mechanism, the tablet is aligned with the upper blade 28. Then, by starting the lifting mechanism, the upper blade 28 is driven to descend. When the upper blade 28 descends and contacts the tablet, the lead screw motor 7 will start and drive the left and right clamping blocks 12 away from the tablet. The upper blade 28 continues to descend. When the tablet is cut, it will fall into the inside of the medicine chamber 24.

[0048] By rotating the dispensing plate drive mechanism 8, one side of the dispensing plate 19 and the dispensing plate 20 is aligned perpendicular to the lower blade 11. The tablet is then placed above the lower blade 11. The screw motor 17 is then activated, causing the left and right clamping blocks 12 to contact the surface of the tablet. The sliding mechanism is then pushed to align the tablet with the upper blade 28. Finally, the lifting mechanism is activated to lower the upper blade 28, cutting the tablet. Compared with traditional devices, this device can cut tablets quickly, making it fast and convenient for cutting large quantities of medicine in pharmacies or hospitals. It is also suitable for people with disabilities, expanding its application range and greatly improving its working efficiency.

[0049] The left and right drive mechanisms are independent of each other and symmetrically arranged. Each drive mechanism includes a lead screw motor 7 and a corresponding lead screw 16. The left and right medicine clamping blocks 12 are connected to medicine clamping connecting rods 13. The medicine clamping connecting rods 13 are threadedly connected to the lead screws 16 so that they can be driven by them. The front and rear sides of the medicine clamping connecting rods 13 are respectively provided with a first rack 14 and a second rack 15 that are offset in the left and right directions. The two medicine supporting plates on the left and right sides are respectively connected to a first gear 17 and a second gear 18. The first gear 17 and the second gear 18 mesh with the first rack 14 and the second rack 15, so that the two medicine supporting plates on the left and right sides can be driven in a coordinated manner by the left and right drive mechanisms, and the independent rotation of each medicine supporting plate can be controlled according to the movement stroke of the medicine clamping connecting rods 13.

[0050] The system includes a fixing post 21 rotatably mounted on one end of the lead screw 16 for fixing the lead screw 16; a return spring 22 fixedly mounted on the side of the medicine compartment 24 for resetting the second medicine support plate 20; a return spring 23 fixedly mounted on the side of the medicine compartment 24 for resetting the first medicine support plate 19; and a fixing frame 43 fixedly installed inside the medicine compartment 24. This allows for individual release of medicine from each medicine compartment, improving the working efficiency of the dispensing mechanism.

[0051] When the cut tablets fall into the medicine chamber 24 and remain above the medicine support plate 19 and medicine support plate 20, and it is necessary to remove the tablets from inside the medicine support plate 19, the screw motor 7 is activated. When the screw motor 7 is activated, it drives the screw 16 to rotate. When the screw 16 rotates, it drives the second rack 15 to move. When the second rack 15 moves, it meshes with the second gear 18, which in turn drives the second gear 18 to rotate, thus causing the medicine support plate 20 to move. When the pill falls completely, the second rack 15 separates from the second pill holder 20, and the return spring 22 will drive the second pill holder 20 back to its original position. When the pill clamping rod 13 drives the first rack 14 to mesh with the first gear 17, it will drive one side of the first pill holder 19 to rotate to the bottom of the other side. When the pill falls completely, the first gear 17 separates from the first rack 14, and the return spring 23 will drive the first pill holder 19 back to its original position.

[0052] By starting the lead screw motor 7, the lead screw 16 is rotated, which in turn moves the second rack 15. When the second rack 15 meshes with the second gear 18, one side of the medicine tray 20 rotates to the bottom of the other side, and the medicine tray 20 is opened. When the second rack 15 separates from the medicine tray 20, the return spring 22 will drive the medicine tray 20 back to its original position. Compared with traditional devices, this device can store and dispense pills through the dispensing device, which improves the working efficiency of the device. It allows each medicine compartment to be filled with medicine independently, and the medicine tray 19 can be opened independently when there is only one box at the bottom, which improves the dispensing efficiency of the device.

[0053] The frame includes: base 1, base 2, bracket 25, and top cover 40; base 2 is fixedly installed above base 1, bracket 25 is fixedly installed above base 2, top cover 40 is fixedly installed above bracket 25, and outer shell 41 is fixedly installed on the top of the frame.

[0054] The lifting mechanism includes a second slider 26 that drives the support frame 27 to move downward, a base plate 42 that is fixedly connected to the lower support frame 27, and a second lead screw motor 39 that drives the top cover 40 to move downward. The support frame 27 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the second lead screw motor 39.

[0055] The cutting mechanism moves up and down, enabling it to quickly cut the tablets and improving the device's efficiency.

[0056] The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning powder suction port 29 fixedly installed on the side of the base plate 42 for cleaning, a cleaning vent 33 installed on the top of the outer shell 41 for air discharge, and a cleaning scraper 34 installed below the first and second medicine dispensing plates 9 and 10 for cleaning powder.

[0057] It also includes a sliding mechanism, which includes a slider 3 fixed above the base 2 for fixing, a slide rail 4 movably mounted above the slider 3 for sliding, a push plate 5 fixedly mounted above the slide rail 4 for pushing, and a handle 6 fixedly mounted on one side of the push plate 5 for pulling.

[0058] The upper blade 28, after cutting the tablets, can be cleaned by slider 26, and the lower blade 11, after cutting the tablets, can be cleaned by cleaning scraper 34 to avoid contamination of the medication for the next patient. By pushing handle 6, the push plate 5 can be moved above slider 3 to align the lower blade 11 with the upper blade 28. Then, the lower blade 11 can be pulled out from the bottom of the upper blade 28, making it easier to place the tablets on top of the lower blade 11.

[0059] It also includes an upper knife replacement handle 32 that is movably installed on the top of the upper knife buffer 30 for replacing the upper knife 28, and includes a medicine support plate 19 and a medicine support plate 20 that are rotatably installed on both sides of the transmission mechanism.

[0060] By rotating the upper blade replacement handle 32, the upper blade 28 can be replaced, enabling the tablets to be cut into different shapes and improving the working efficiency of the device.

[0061] It also includes an upper blade buffer 30 set above the base plate 42 for shock absorption of the upper blade 28 cutting, and a cutting blade elastic column 31 is fixedly installed above the upper blade buffer 30. The drug dispensing plate driving mechanism includes at least two drug dispensing plate driving mechanisms 8 and a drug dispensing plate rotating gear 36 for simultaneously driving each drug dispensing plate driving mechanism 8.

[0062] It also includes a detection mechanism, which includes a medicine plate sensor 38 located inside the base 2 for detecting the medicine plate and a medicine plate sensor 37 located below the medicine compartment 24 for detection, a screw motor 39 located on one side of the medicine plate drive mechanism for detecting the medicine plate and a medicine plate sensor 35.

[0063] The cutting speed, distance, and depth are determined by measuring the hardness, main ingredients, and auxiliary substances of each pill; a series of parameters are set for each pill and stored in the computer system database, so that the pill is placed in the correct position and orientation on the cutting table according to the instructions.

[0064] The steps of the drug cutting and dispensing method using the above-mentioned novel tablet cutting mechanism are as follows:

[0065] S1, When the staff needs to cut the tablets, firstly, by rotating the dispensing plate drive mechanism 8, one side of the dispensing plate 19 and the dispensing plate 2 10 is moved upward. When one side of the dispensing plate 19 and the dispensing plate 2 10 is perpendicular to the lower cutter 11, the rotation of the dispensing plate drive mechanism 8 is stopped.

[0066] S2, place the tablet above the lower blade 11, then start the lead screw motor 7, which drives the lead screw 16 to rotate, which will drive the medicine clamping link 13 to move forward, which will drive the left and right medicine clamping blocks 12 to move forward.

[0067] S3, when the left and right clamping drug blocks 12 move to the surface of the tablet, the lead screw motor 7 will stop. Then, by pushing the sliding mechanism, the lifting mechanism will be activated to drive the upper blade 28 to descend. When the upper blade 28 descends and contacts the tablet, the left and right clamping drug blocks 12 move away from the tablet. The upper blade 28 continues to descend. When the tablet is cut, it will fall into the inside of the drug chamber 24.

[0068] S4. When the cut tablet falls above the first tablet holder 19 and the second tablet holder 20, the tablet needs to be removed from the inside of either the first tablet holder 19 or the second tablet holder 20.

[0069] S5, by starting the lead screw motor 7, when the lead screw motor 7 starts, it will drive the lead screw 16 to rotate. When the lead screw 16 rotates, it will drive the first rack 14 and the second rack 15 to move. When the first rack 14 and the second rack 15 mesh with the corresponding first rack 14 and the second rack 15, it will drive the corresponding medicine plate to open.

[0070] S6, when the first rack 14 and the second rack 15 are separated from their respective first rack 14 and second rack 15, the first reset spring 22 and the second reset spring 23 will respectively drive the corresponding medicine support plate to reset and close the corresponding medicine dispensing compartment.

[0071] 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.

[0072] 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.

S2, place the tablet above the lower blade (11), then start the lead screw motor (7) to drive the lead screw (16) to rotate. Moving the clamping linkage (13) forward will cause the left and right clamping blocks (12) to move forward as well. S3, when the left and right clamping blocks (12) move to the surface of the tablet, the screw motor (7) will stop, and then the upper blade (28) will be driven down by pushing the sliding mechanism and then by starting the lifting mechanism. When the upper blade (28) descends and contacts the tablet, the left and right clamping blocks (12) move away from the tablet, and the upper blade (28) continues to descend. When the tablet is cut, it will fall into the inside of the medicine chamber (24). S4, when the cut tablet falls above the first (19) and the second (20) of the medicine plate, the tablet needs to be removed from the inside of the first (19) and the second (20) of the medicine plate. S5, by starting the lead screw motor (7), when the lead screw motor (7) starts, it will drive the lead screw (16) to rotate. When the lead screw (16) rotates, it will drive the first rack (14) and the second rack (15) to move. When the first rack (14) and the second rack (15) mesh with the corresponding first rack (14) and second rack (15), it will drive the corresponding medicine plate to open. S6, when the first rack (14) and the second rack (15) are separated from their respective first rack (14) and second rack (15), the first reset spring (22) and the second reset spring (23) will respectively drive the corresponding medicine support plate to reset and close the corresponding medicine dispensing chamber.
