[0090] In the embodiment, by pre-acquiring the motion paths of the mutual motion of each station, the motion of the robot is facilitated for subsequent control, so as to realize the transfer of the medicine frames by the motion of the robot; the upper computer can send signals to the entire automatic cleaning system, including an entering working state signal and a drying signal, so as to facilitate the starting control of the entire medicine frame automatic cleaning process and the last process (i.e. drying), and further facilitate the starting control and ending control of the automatic cleaning of the medicine frames; a plurality of groups of to-be-cleaned medicine frames are stored on the storage station, and each group of to-be-cleaned medicine frames includes at least one medicine frame; when responding to the entering working state signal, a group of to-be-cleaned medicine frames is first controlled to be grabbed from the storage station by the robot and placed in the transfer carrier, on the one hand, facilitating the subsequent cleaning of the group of to-be-cleaned medicine frames, and on the other hand, facilitating the overall control of the group of to-be-cleaned medicine frames, and improving the cleaning efficiency; after the group of to-be-cleaned medicine frames is placed in the transfer carrier (i.e. the robot moves from the storage station to the carrier position), the to-be-cleaned medicine frames are controlled to move from the carrier position to the cleaning station according to the second motion path, and by using the real-time first position signal, it can be determined whether the to-be-cleaned medicine frames on the cleaning station are in place, so as to facilitate the opening of the cleaning process by controlling the cleaning mechanism; after the cleaning is completed, to-be-dried medicine frames are obtained; then the robot is controlled to send the to-be-dried medicine frames after the cleaning process to the drying station for drying; in the same way, a plurality of groups of to-be-cleaned medicine frames for automatic cleaning are sequentially cleaned and transported to the drying station; at this time, in response to the drying signal, the drying mechanism is controlled to dry all the to-be-dried medicine frames placed in the drying station, i.e. to complete the batch automatic cleaning of the medicine frames. The drying station provides a working place for the drying of the medicine frames, and also directly serves as a storage place for the medicine frames after the automatic cleaning, which can effectively save space.
[0091] The automatic cleaning method of the medicine frame in the embodiment can effectively realize the automatic transmission and automatic control between the working positions of the medicine frame cleaning machine, can realize the automatic cleaning of a large number of medicine frames in a small cleaning space, effectively improves the cleaning efficiency of the medicine frame, reduces the labor cost, and truly effectively avoids the secondary infection of bacteria on the medicine frame.
[0092] The automatic cleaning method of the medicine frame in the embodiment will be described in detail below.
[0093] In the S1 of the embodiment, when the medicine frame cleaning machine is designed and set with the storage working position, the transfer carrier, the cleaning working position and the drying working position, the positions of these components are determined, and then the first motion path, the second motion path, the third motion path and the fourth motion path (also including the fifth motion path in the following) of the embodiment can be determined in advance based on the servo control technology. The technology for determining the motion path in the servo control technology is a prior art, which can be understood by those skilled in the art, and the specific details will not be described here.
[0094] The entering working state signal and the drying signal sent by the upper computer correspond to the step sequence of the upper computer. The entering working state signal specifically refers to the step sequence of the upper computer allowing the entire cleaning system to enter the working state, i.e., starting to work. When the upper computer sends the entering working state signal, the entire cleaning system can respond to the signal, i.e., start to work, and perform the work according to the subsequent process. The drying signal specifically refers to the step sequence of the upper computer allowing the drying process to be entered, i.e., starting to dry. When the upper computer sends the drying signal, the entire cleaning system can respond to the signal, i.e., start the drying process. When the drying is completed, the entire cleaning process is completed.
[0095] In the S2 of the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The storage working position 1 is provided with a plurality of first slot positions 12, each of which is used for storing a group of the medicine frames 11 to be cleaned, and each of the first slot positions 12 is provided with a second sensor (not shown in the figure).
[0096] In the first optional embodiment, in response to the entering working state signal sent by the upper computer, the following steps are included:
[0097] Real-time acquisition of the second position signal collected by the second sensor;
[0098] When all the second position signals indicate that the medicine frames to be cleaned are placed on the corresponding first slot positions, the entering working state signal sent by the upper computer is responded to.
[0099] Each second sensor can collect a second position signal in real time, which can reflect whether the corresponding first slot is placed with a to-be-cleaned medicine frame; when all the second position signals reflect that the corresponding first slot is placed with a to-be-cleaned medicine frame, it indicates that the storage station is in a full-frame state, and the subsequent cleaning process needs to be immediately performed on the to-be-cleaned medicine frame in the storage station, and then the host computer needs to send an entering working state signal, and the cleaning system responds to the entering working state signal.
[0100] The first optional embodiment of responding to the entering working state signal can realize automatic control of starting the entire cleaning process based on the second sensors on all the first slots of the storage station, has high automation degree, and can realize automatic cleaning of a large number of medicine frames.
[0101] Specifically, the second position signal is a level signal, and when the obtained second position signal changes from a high-level signal to a low-level signal (or from a low-level signal to a high-level signal), it means that the second sensor corresponds to the first slot placed with a to-be-cleaned medicine frame.
[0102] In the embodiment S2, the medicine frame cleaning machine further comprises a switch panel;
[0103] In the second optional embodiment, the entering working state signal is responded to based on the starting working instruction.
[0104] The entering working state signal is responded to when the starting working instruction input by the user through the switch panel is received.
[0105] When the user directly inputs the starting working instruction through the switch panel (such as a starting button), it indicates that the user needs to immediately clean the to-be-cleaned medicine frame stored in the storage station (regardless of whether the storage station is full), and then the host computer needs to send the entering working state signal, and the cleaning system responds to the entering working state signal.
[0106] The second optional embodiment of responding to the entering working state signal is based on the starting working instruction to respond to the entering working state signal, which is more in line with the actual situation of medicine frame cleaning and is more flexible to use.
[0107] In the embodiment, the transfer carrier can accommodate at least one to-be-cleaned medicine frame, and the size, shape and number of the accommodation positions can be set according to actual conditions.
[0108] Preferably, as Figure 1As shown, the medicine frame cleaning machine further comprises a first sliding door mechanism 6 arranged between the carrier position and the storage station 1, and the first sliding door mechanism 6 has a first initial position, when the first sliding door mechanism 6 is located at the first initial position, the carrier position and the storage station 1 are not communicated;
[0109] As shown in the figure, S2 comprises: Figure 3
[0110] S21: in response to the entering working state signal sent by the upper computer, sending a first control instruction to the manipulator and a first door opening instruction to the first sliding door mechanism;
[0111] S22: according to the first door opening instruction, controlling the first sliding door mechanism to move from the first initial position to a first specified position, and then according to the first control instruction, controlling the manipulator to take a group of the medicine frames to be cleaned from the storage station and put them into the transfer carrier according to the first movement path;
[0112] S23: when the manipulator puts a group of the medicine frames to be cleaned into the transfer carrier, sending a first door closing instruction to the first sliding door mechanism; according to the first door closing instruction, controlling the first sliding door mechanism to move from the first specified position to the first initial position.
[0113] When responding to the entering working state signal (i.e. starting work), the first control instruction is sent to the manipulator and the first door opening instruction is sent to the first sliding door mechanism, so that the subsequent first sliding door mechanism is controlled to move according to the first door opening instruction to realize the effect of opening the door, so that the carrier position and the storage station are in a communicated state, which is convenient for the manipulator to operate in the storage station according to the first control instruction to take out the medicine frames to be cleaned and put them into the transfer carrier; when the manipulator puts the medicine frames to be cleaned into the transfer carrier (i.e. the manipulator moves to the carrier position again), it means that the manipulator has completed the taking of the medicine frames to be cleaned, so the first door closing instruction is sent to the first sliding door mechanism at this time, so that it moves to the first initial position according to the first door closing instruction to realize the effect of closing the door, forming a partition between the storage station and other stations.
[0114] Through the control of the above first sliding door mechanism and manipulator, on the one hand, the automatic control of taking the medicine frames to be cleaned can be realized, and on the other hand, the storage station and other stations can form independent spaces, avoiding the mutual interference between processes and ensuring the cleaning effect of the medicine frames.
[0115] It should be understood that, in the process that the mechanical arm takes out a set of to-be-cleaned medicine frames from the storage station and puts them into the transfer carrier, it is first moved from the carrier position to the position where the storage station is located according to the first movement path, and then, after taking the to-be-cleaned medicine frames, it is moved from the position where the storage station is located to the carrier position according to the reverse direction of the first movement path, and puts the taken to-be-cleaned medicine frames into the transfer carrier.
[0116] In the embodiment, the mechanical arm can be set according to actual conditions, which can be understood by those skilled in the art, and the specific structure is not described here.
[0117] Preferably, the medicine frame cleaning machine further comprises a lifting mechanism 7 arranged between the cleaning station 3 and the carrier position, and the lifting mechanism 7 has a second initial position, when the lifting mechanism 7 is located at the second initial position, the cleaning station and the carrier position are not communicated;
[0118] As shown in FIG. 3, S3 comprises: Figure 4
[0119] S31: when the mechanical arm moves to the carrier position, a second control instruction is sent to the mechanical arm, and an ascending instruction is sent to the lifting mechanism;
[0120] S32: according to the ascending instruction, the lifting mechanism is controlled to ascend from the second initial position to a second specified position, and then according to the second control instruction, the mechanical arm is controlled to transfer the transfer carrier carrying a set of to-be-cleaned medicine frames to the cleaning station according to the second movement path.
[0121] When the mechanical arm moves to the carrier position, a second control instruction is sent to the mechanical arm and an ascending instruction is sent to the lifting mechanism, so that the lifting mechanism is subsequently controlled to ascend according to the ascending instruction, so that the carrier position and the cleaning station are in a communicated state, and the mechanical arm is controlled to enter the cleaning station to operate according to the second control instruction, and the transfer carrier carrying the to-be-cleaned medicine frames is transferred to the cleaning station for cleaning.
[0122] In another optional embodiment, S31 can also be:
[0123] When the mechanical arm moves to the carrier position within a first preset time, an ascending instruction is sent to the lifting mechanism; and when the mechanical arm moves to the carrier position, a second control instruction is sent to the mechanical arm.
[0124] In the first preset time before the robot puts the to-be-cleaned medicine frame into the transfer carrier, an ascending instruction is sent to the lifting mechanism, the lifting mechanism is controlled to ascend in advance, the robot is waited to enter the cleaning station to operate in advance, collision between the robot and the lifting mechanism during transfer of the robot from the carrier position to the cleaning station is avoided, automatic control is more stable, and safety is higher.
[0125] The first preset time can be determined according to the movement speed of the robot and the distance between the robot and the carrier position, and in an actual process, the first preset time is set in advance according to actual conditions.
[0126] In the S4 of the embodiment, the first sensor is arranged on the cleaning station, whether the transfer carrier is placed on the cleaning station is determined according to the first position signal collected in real time, a cleaning instruction is sent to the cleaning mechanism, and the cleaning mechanism is controlled to clean.
[0127] Similarly, based on the second sensor, automatic control of the cleaning process can be realized, and then automatic cleaning of a large number of medicine frames can be realized, and the cleaning efficiency of the medicine frames is improved.
[0128] Similarly, the first position signal is also a level signal, when the obtained first position signal changes from a high-level signal to a low-level signal (or from a low-level signal to a high-level signal), it means that the to-be-cleaned medicine frame is placed on the cleaning station.
[0129] Preferably, before the first position signal indicates that the transfer carrier is placed on the cleaning station, the method further includes:
[0130] The fifth movement path of the robot between the cleaning station and the starting position of the robot is obtained in advance.
[0131] Through the fifth movement path, the robot can be controlled to exit from the cleaning station after the to-be-cleaned medicine frame is located on the cleaning station, and pollution of the robot caused by dirt generated in the cleaning station is effectively avoided.
[0132] Preferably, after the first position signal indicates that the transfer carrier is placed on the cleaning station, the method further includes:
[0133] After the first position signal indicates that the transfer carrier is placed on the cleaning station, a third control instruction is sent to the robot, and a descending instruction is sent to the lifting mechanism.
[0134] According to the third control command and following the fifth motion path, after controlling the robot arm to exit from the cleaning station to the robot arm's starting position, according to the descent command, the lifting mechanism is controlled to descend from the second designated position to the second initial position.
[0135] When the first position signal indicates that a transfer carrier is placed on the cleaning station, it means that the cleaning process is about to begin. At this time, a third control command is sent to the robot arm and a descent command is sent to the lifting mechanism. This allows the robot arm to first exit from the cleaning station to its starting position according to the third control command, and then control the lifting mechanism to descend according to the descent command, thus isolating the cleaning station and making it an independent space. This effectively avoids the contamination of other stations and the robot arm by dirt and grime generated in the cleaning station.
[0136] The cleaning mechanism in this embodiment includes a rinsing component and an air blowing component. The rinsing component rinses the medicine box to be cleaned, and then the air blowing component blows air onto the surface of the medicine box to remove water stains. The rinsing component and the air blowing component can adopt conventional structures, and specific details will not be elaborated here. The liquid used in the rinsing component can be clean water or water with added cleaning agent or disinfectant.
[0137] In S4, before the cleaning mechanism cleans a set of medicine frames to be cleaned carried on the transfer vehicle, cleaning parameters are obtained in advance, and the cleaning mechanism is controlled to clean the set of medicine frames to be cleaned carried on the transfer vehicle according to the cleaning parameters.
[0138] Cleaning parameters include, but are not limited to, rinsing time and blowing time, which can be set and adjusted according to actual conditions.
[0139] Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, the medicine frame washing machine also includes a second sliding door mechanism 8 disposed between the drying station 4 and the washing station 3, and the second sliding door mechanism 8 has a third initial position. When the second sliding door mechanism 8 is in the third initial position, the drying station 4 and the washing station 3 are not connected.
[0140] like Figure 5 As shown, S5 includes:
[0141] S51: After the cleaning of the cleaning medicine box on the cleaning station is completed, a third control command is sent to the robot arm, and the lifting command and the second door opening command are sent to the lifting mechanism and the second sliding door mechanism respectively.
[0142] S52: According to the lifting instruction, control the lifting mechanism to rise from the second initial position to the second specified position, and according to the second door opening instruction, control the second sliding door mechanism to move from the third initial position to the third specified position, and then according to the third control instruction, control the robot arm to transfer a group of the to-be-dried medicine boxes on the transfer carrier from the cleaning station to the drying station along the fifth movement path and the third movement path;
[0143] S53: When the robot arm moves to the position where the drying station is located, send a fourth control instruction to the robot arm;
[0144] S54: According to the fourth control instruction, control the robot arm to transfer the transfer carrier from the cleaning station to the carrier position along the third movement path and the second movement path;
[0145] S55: When the robot arm transfers the transfer carrier from the cleaning station to the carrier position, send a second door closing instruction to the second sliding door mechanism and send a lowering instruction to the lifting mechanism;
[0146] S56: According to the second door closing instruction, control the second sliding door mechanism to move from the third specified position to the third initial position, and then according to the lowering instruction, control the lifting mechanism to descend from the second specified position to the second initial position.
[0147] When the cleaning station completes cleaning (specifically, after the required washing time and air blowing time are reached), send a third control instruction to the robot arm, a lifting instruction to the lifting mechanism, and a second door opening instruction to the second sliding door mechanism, so that subsequently the lifting mechanism is controlled to rise according to the lifting instruction and the second sliding door mechanism is controlled to open according to the second door opening instruction, so that the carrier position, the cleaning station and the drying station are in a communication state, facilitating the robot arm to sequentially enter the cleaning station and the drying station according to the third control instruction to perform operations, and transfer the to-be-dried medicine boxes on the transfer carrier in the cleaning station to the drying station. When the robot arm moves to the position where the drying station is located, send a fourth control instruction to the robot arm, and then control the robot arm to put the transfer carrier left in the cleaning station back to the carrier position along the third movement path and the second movement path, complete the transfer of the current group of to-be-dried medicine boxes, and wait for the transfer of the next group of to-be-cleaned medicine boxes. In addition, when the transfer carrier returns to the carrier position, send a lowering instruction to the lifting mechanism and a second door closing instruction to the second sliding door mechanism, so as to again isolate the carrier position from the cleaning station and the drying station, and avoid mutual influence between the stations.
[0148] In the embodiment S6, each group of the medicine frames to be cleaned on the storage station is sequentially transferred from the storage station to the transfer carrier, and then from the transfer carrier to the cleaning station, cleaned by the cleaning mechanism of the cleaning station, and then transferred from the cleaning station to the drying station. Finally, all the medicine frames to be cleaned are cleaned and uniformly transferred to the drying station for drying and storage.
[0149] Preferably, as shown in the drawings, the drying station 4 is provided with a plurality of second slots 41, and each of the second slots 41 is provided with a third sensor (not shown in the drawings); Figure 1
[0150] In the first optional embodiment S7, in response to the drying signal sent by the upper computer, the method comprises the following steps:
[0151] acquiring the third position signal collected by the third sensor in real time;
[0152] when all the third position signals indicate that the medicine frames to be dried are placed in the corresponding second slots, responding to the drying signal sent by the upper computer.
[0153] Similar to the first slots and the second sensors arranged on the storage station, when all the third position signals indicate that the medicine frames to be dried are placed in the second slots, it means that the drying station is in a full-frame state, and the unified drying process can be carried out to complete the final cleaning of the medicine frames.
[0154] The above-mentioned first optional embodiment of responding to the drying signal can realize the automatic control of the last process (i.e. the drying process) based on the third sensors on all the second slots of the drying station, and has a high degree of automation and can realize the automatic cleaning of a large number of medicine frames.
[0155] Similar to the first position signal, the third position signal is a level signal. When the acquired third position signal changes from a high level signal to a low level signal (or from a low level signal to a high level signal), it means that the third sensor corresponds to the second slot where the medicine frame to be dried is placed.
[0156] In the second optional embodiment S7, in response to the drying signal sent by the upper computer, the method comprises the following steps:
[0157] when the drying work instruction input by the user is received, responding to the drying signal sent by the upper computer.
[0158] When the user inputs the drying work instruction (such as through the drying button of the switch panel), it means that the user needs to immediately dry the medicine frames to be dried in the drying station (regardless of whether the drying station is full or not). At this time, the upper computer needs to send a drying process signal, and the cleaning system responds to it, i.e. enters the drying process.
[0159] The second optional embodiment of the response drying signal is based on the drying work instruction to respond to the drying signal, which is more in line with the actual situation of the medicine frame cleaning and more flexible to use.
[0160] The second groove position on the drying station can be the same as or different from the first groove position, and each second groove position can accommodate a group of medicine frames to be dried. The drying mechanism can be a conventional heating device.
[0161] In S7, the drying parameters are obtained in advance before the drying mechanism dries all the medicine frames to be dried, and then the drying mechanism dries all the medicine frames to be dried according to the drying parameters.
[0162] The drying parameters include but are not limited to drying time, drying temperature, etc., which are pre-set and adjusted according to actual conditions.
