Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the patent application with the application date of September 30, 2022, application number 2022112140604, and invention name as medicine bottle storage and retrieval system. Technical Field

[0002] The present disclosure generally relates to the field of medical mechanical equipment, and more particularly to a loading mechanism for loading medicine bottles. Background Art

[0003] Infusion is a commonly used clinical medical procedure, allowing liquid substances such as medications and nutritional solutions to be infused into patients to aid their recovery. When patients require infusions, they often need to mix multiple different infusion medications based on their condition to create a more effective therapeutic solution. In clinical practice, medical staff transfer medications from different containers, such as medicine bottles, into infusion bags for mixing to create the desired therapeutic solution.

[0004] Currently, medical staff and the like usually use manual operation to mix the therapeutic liquid required for infusion for patients. For example, when transferring liquid between a medicine bottle and an infusion bag, manual operation is used to take the required medicine bottle.

[0005] However, due to the current shortage of medical staff in medical institutions, manual operation is difficult to efficiently prepare medicine bottles when facing large-scale infusion needs. Therefore, there is a need to provide a device that can assist medical staff in preparing liquids, specifically a medicine bottle storage and retrieval system that can be used to load and pick up medicine bottles in batches. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present disclosure is proposed in view of the above-mentioned state of the prior art, and its purpose is to provide a medicine bottle storage and retrieval system that can be used to load and pick up medicine bottles in batches.

[0007] To this end, the present disclosure provides a medicine bottle storage and retrieval system, including a loading mechanism for storing the medicine bottles and a picking mechanism for picking up the medicine bottles stored on the loading mechanism, the loading mechanism including a carrying portion having a medicine bottle bin for accommodating the medicine bottles, a blocking portion arranged at one end of the loading portion and capable of opening and closing at the bin opening of the medicine bottle bin, and a propulsion portion movably arranged on the loading portion and capable of applying a propulsion action to the medicine bottles in the medicine bottle bin along the direction from the bin tail to the bin opening of the medicine bottle bin, the blocking portion including a movably arranged The movable member of the opening of the medicine bottle warehouse, a transmission member that is linked with the movable member and can apply a servicing effect to the movable member along the extension direction of the medicine bottle warehouse to move the movable member away from the opening of the medicine bottle warehouse, and a return member that is linked with the movable member and applies a return effect to the movable member to return the movable member to the opening of the medicine bottle warehouse, the transmission member includes a trigger column that is arranged on the bearing part in a manner that can be moved along the extension direction of the medicine bottle warehouse, and a trigger column that is linked with the trigger column and abuts against the movable member. The trigger column moves along the extension direction of the medicine bottle warehouse so that the contact block exerts an action on the movable member to make the movable member move away from the warehouse opening of the medicine bottle warehouse. The picking mechanism includes a base that can be close to or away from the loading mechanism, a clamping part that is movably arranged on the base and is used to clamp the medicine bottle, and a triggering part that exerts an action on the trigger column to make the movable member move away from the warehouse opening of the medicine bottle warehouse when the picking mechanism is close to the loading mechanism. The triggering part includes a mounting member and a mounting member arranged on the mounting member. A touch member and a detection member on the member, the touch member is movably arranged on the mounting member and has a preset detection area corresponding to the position of the trigger column when the movable member is moved away from the opening of the medicine bottle warehouse, when the touch portion applies action to the trigger column, the touch member abuts against the trigger column and moves relative to the detection member, the detection member has a detection area, when the movable member is moved away from the opening of the medicine bottle warehouse, the preset detection area of the touch member and the detection area of the detection member at least partially overlap.

[0008] In the medicine bottle storage and retrieval system involved in the present disclosure, the picking mechanism includes a base movable relative to the loading mechanism, a touch portion provided on the base, and a clamping portion provided on the base. By moving the base toward the loading mechanism, the clamping space can be brought close to the loading mechanism on which the medicine bottles are loaded, and the blocking portion of the loading mechanism can be opened by the touch portion, whereby the propulsion portion can transfer the medicine bottles to the clamping portion. In addition, the position of the touch member corresponding to the trigger column of the blocking portion is detected by a detection member to confirm whether the blocking portion can be opened normally, thereby facilitating the picking mechanism to pick up medicine bottles on the loading mechanism multiple times. In this case, the picking mechanism can automatically pick up medicine bottles loaded on the loading mechanism in batches.

[0009] In addition, in the medicine bottle storage and retrieval system involved in the present disclosure, optionally, the clamping portion includes a central arm, a first arm linked to the central arm, and a second arm that can move toward or away from the first arm and is linked to the central arm, the central arm, the first arm, and the second arm cooperate to form a clamping space that cooperates with the medicine bottle, and the picking mechanism has a picking mode. When the picking mechanism is in the picking mode, the picking mechanism moves along the extension direction of the medicine bottle magazine to make the clamping space close to the medicine bottle in the medicine bottle magazine and causes the touch portion to act on the trigger column to open the blocking portion. The propulsion unit transfers the medicine bottle along the medicine bottle bin via the opened blocking unit to the clamping space, the first arm and the second arm approach the medicine bottle located in the clamping space by moving toward each other and linking the central arm to approach the medicine bottle, the first arm, the second arm, and the central arm respectively abut against the medicine bottle from three directions to clamp the medicine bottle located in the clamping space, and the picking mechanism has a release mode. When the picking mechanism is in the release mode, the first arm and the second arm move away from the medicine bottle located in the clamping space by moving in opposite directions and linking the central arm to move away from the medicine bottle. In this case, the medicine bottle can be clamped or released by linking the first arm, the second arm, and the central arm.

[0010] In addition, in the medicine bottle storage and retrieval system of the present disclosure, optionally, the picking mechanism further includes a driving unit disposed on the base, the driving unit including a slide, a first slider connected to the slide by a tenon groove and linked to the first arm, and a second slider connected to the slide by a tenon groove and linked to the second arm, the first slider and the second slider moving relative to each other on the slide to move the first arm and the second arm relative to each other or oppositely. In this case, the driving unit can be used to control the clamping unit to clamp or release the medicine bottle.

[0011] In addition, in the medicine bottle storage and retrieval system involved in the present disclosure, optionally, the first arm and the second arm are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the central arm, and the opposite wings of the central arm are respectively provided with a first guide groove and a second guide groove, the first guide groove and the second guide groove are separated from each other along the direction close to the loading mechanism, the first arm includes a first cam embedded in the first guide groove and slidable in the first guide groove, the second arm includes a second cam embedded in the second guide groove and slidable in the second guide groove, the first cam moves in the first guide groove to make the central arm move relative to the first arm, and the second cam moves in the second guide groove to make the central arm move relative to the second arm. In this case, the linkage structure between the central arm and the first arm and the second arm can be simplified by the connection design between the guide groove and the cam.

[0012] In addition, in the medicine bottle storage and retrieval system of the present disclosure, the supporting portion optionally includes an elongated bottom plate and a first side plate and a second side plate disposed parallel to opposite sides of the bottom plate along the length of the bottom plate, wherein the first side plate and the second side plate cooperate to form the medicine bottle bin. In this case, the first side plate, the second side plate, and the bottom plate can define a movement path for the medicine bottles, allowing the medicine bottles to be transferred smoothly and orderly from the medicine bottle bin to the picking mechanism.

[0013] In addition, in the medicine bottle storage and retrieval system of the present disclosure, optionally, the first side panel and / or the second side panel have an installation cavity, the trigger column is columnar and is arranged in the installation cavity in such a manner that the length direction of the trigger column is consistent with the extension direction of the medicine bottle bin, the trigger column at least partially extends out of the installation cavity, and the portion of the trigger column extending out of the installation cavity is located on the travel path of the trigger member when the picking mechanism approaches the loading mechanism. In this case, the picking mechanism can open the blocking portion by the trigger portion to pick up the medicine bottle when it approaches the loading mechanism.

[0014] In addition, in the medicine bottle storage and retrieval system involved in the present disclosure, optionally, the touch member is columnar, and the touch portion also includes an elastic member arranged on the mounting member and sleeved on the outer periphery of the touch member along the length direction of the touch member. When the touch member applies action to the trigger column, the touch member moves relative to the elastic member and compresses the elastic member. In this case, when the touch member moves under the relative action of the trigger column, it can compress the elastic member, so that the elastic member generates elastic potential energy to restore the touch member to its initial position. When the picking mechanism picks up the medicine bottle and moves away from the loading mechanism, the blocking part is closed under the action of the return member and the second return member and the trigger column returns to its initial position, so that the touch member continues to be abutted by the trigger column in the process of the picking mechanism moving away from the loading mechanism. Under the action of the trigger column, the touch member continues to maintain a relatively static state with the detection member in the process of the picking mechanism moving away from the loading mechanism. In other words, in the process of the picking mechanism picking up the medicine bottle and moving away from the loading mechanism, if the detection area of the detection member can detect the preset detection area of the touch member, it means that the blocking part can be switched from the open state to the closed state. Therefore, the detection member can detect whether the blocking part can be closed normally.

[0015] In addition, the medicine bottle storage and retrieval system of the present disclosure optionally further includes a bottle identification mechanism for obtaining information about the medicine bottle, the bottle identification mechanism including a support portion for loading the medicine bottle, and a scanning portion for scanning the medicine bottle placed on the support portion to obtain a scanned image and identifying the scanned image to obtain information about the medicine bottle, the picking mechanism transfers the medicine bottle in the loading mechanism to the support portion, and the scanning portion moves relative to the medicine bottle on the support portion to scan the medicine bottle and obtain a scanned image of the medicine bottle. In some examples, the scanning portion can obtain information about the medicine bottle based on the scanned image, and determine whether the medicine bottle meets the medication requirements based on the obtained information about the medicine bottle.

[0016] In addition, in the medicine bottle storage and retrieval system of the present disclosure, the support portion may optionally include a support platform and a support seat rotatably disposed on the support platform for fixing the medicine bottle. In this case, the support seat can drive the medicine bottle to rotate, thereby facilitating the complete display of the medicine bottle to the scanning unit.

[0017] In addition, in the medicine bottle storage and retrieval system of the present disclosure, the bottle identification mechanism optionally further includes an illumination unit having a light source for illuminating the medicine bottle while the scanning unit is scanning the medicine bottle. In this case, the clarity of the scanned image of the medicine bottle obtained by the scanning unit can be improved, thereby improving the accuracy of the information determined about the medicine bottle.

[0018] Thus, a medicine bottle storage and retrieval system that can be used to place and pick up medicine bottles in batches can be provided. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0050] In addition, the subheadings and the like in the following description of this disclosure are not intended to limit the content or scope of this disclosure, but are merely provided as a guide for reading. Such subheadings should not be understood as dividing the content of the article, nor should the content under the subheading be limited to the scope of the subheading.

[0051] It should be noted that the relative position and relative direction terms such as "above", "towards above", "below", "towards downward", "up and down direction", "left side", "towards the left side", "left direction", "towards the left", "right side", "towards the right side", "right side", "towards the right", "left and right direction", "front", "towards the front", "back", "towards the back", "front and back direction" in this document refer to the normal operating posture and should not be considered as restrictive.

[0052] The present disclosure relates to a medicine bottle storage and retrieval system (hereinafter referred to as the storage and retrieval system), which is a system that can be used to store and pick up medicine bottles. Through the storage and retrieval system of this embodiment, a picking mechanism can pick up medicine bottles stored on a loading mechanism.

[0053] In this embodiment, the storage and retrieval system can also be called a medicine bottle loading and picking system, an automatic medicine bottle picking system, a picking system, etc.

[0054] Figure 1A is a schematic diagram showing an access system 1 involved in an example of the present disclosure; Figure 1B is a partial schematic diagram showing an access system 1 involved in an example of the present disclosure; Figure 2 1 is a schematic diagram showing a placement mechanism 10 according to an example of the present disclosure.

[0055] As shown in Figure 1, in this embodiment, the storage and retrieval system 1 may include a loading mechanism 10, a picking mechanism 20, and a bottle identification mechanism 30. The loading mechanism 10 can be used to load the medicine bottle 2 (described in detail later). The picking mechanism 20 can pick up the medicine bottle 2 stored on the loading mechanism 10 (described in detail later). In some examples, after the picking mechanism 20 picks up the medicine bottle 2 on the loading mechanism 10, the medical staff or the medicine taking device can obtain the medicine in the medicine bottle 2. After the medicine is taken, the picking mechanism 20 picks up the medicine bottle that has been taken to the bottle identification mechanism 30. The bottle identification mechanism 30 can be used to identify the medicine bottle 2 to identify the medicine in the medicine bottle 2 and detect whether the medicine in the medicine bottle 2 has been completely taken away (described in detail later).

[0056] In some examples, the loading mechanism 10 may have a medicine bottle compartment 12 (see Figure 2 When the loading mechanism 10 loads the medicine bottle 2, the medicine bottle 2 can be located in the medicine bottle chamber 12.

[0057] exist Figure 1A In the illustrated embodiment, the picking mechanism 20 may be located near the opening of the vial bin 12. In some examples, the vial bin 12 may contain one or more vials 2. When the picking mechanism 20 picks up multiple vials 2, the multiple vials 2 may be transferred to the picking mechanism 20 one by one.

[0058] In some examples, the medicine bottle 2 can be an ampoule or a vial. The ampoule or the vial can contain solid medicine or liquid medicine. In some examples, the picking mechanism 20 can be clamped at the bottle body position of the medicine bottle 2 to pick up the medicine bottle 2.

[0059] In the following, for the convenience of description, the direction in which the pickup mechanism 20 approaches the carrier mechanism 10 is understood as the D1 direction, and the direction in which the pickup mechanism 20 moves away from the carrier mechanism 10 is understood as the D2 direction. With reference to the normal operating posture (for example, the carrier mechanism 10 is arranged in the horizontal direction, and the pickup mechanism 20 moves toward or away from the carrier mechanism 10 in the horizontal direction), Figure 1A The horizontal left direction is understood as the D3 direction, and accordingly, Figure 1A The horizontal right direction is understood as the D4 direction (see Figure 1B It should be noted that the above-mentioned relative position and relative direction terms refer to normal operating postures and normal operating methods, and should not be understood as restrictive.

[0060] Figure 3A 1 is a schematic diagram showing the blocking portion 13 according to an example of the present disclosure. Figure 3B is a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of the blocking portion 13 according to the present disclosure; Figure 3C FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of the blocking portion 13 according to the present disclosure, viewed from a second perspective.

[0061] In some examples, the carrying mechanism 10 may include a carrying portion 11, a blocking portion 13, and a propulsion portion 14 (see Figure 2 ). The carrying portion 11 can be used to accommodate the medicine bottle 2. The propulsion portion 14 can be used to push the medicine bottle 2 to transfer the medicine bottle 2 from the carrying portion 11 to the picking mechanism 20. The blocking portion 13 can be used to block the medicine bottle 2 to prevent the propulsion portion 14 from pushing the medicine bottle 2 out of the carrying portion 11 as much as possible when the picking mechanism 20 has not picked up the medicine bottle 2. In this case, when the blocking portion 13 is opened, the medicine bottle 2 can be easily transferred out of the medicine bottle chamber 12 through the propulsion portion 14.

[0062] In some examples, the carrying portion 11 may have a medicine bottle storage 12. Medicine bottles 2 may be stored in the medicine bottle storage 12. In some examples, multiple medicine bottles 2 may be arranged in a straight line in the medicine bottle storage 12.

[0063] In some examples, the carrying portion 11 may include a strip-shaped bottom plate 111, and a first side plate 112 and a second side plate 113 respectively disposed on opposite sides of the bottom plate 111 (see FIG. Figure 2 ). In some examples, the bottom plate 111, the first side plate 112, and the second side plate 113 can be combined in a furrow-like manner. In other words, the supporting portion 11 can be furrow-shaped. In some examples, the bottom plate 111, the first side plate 112, and the second side plate 113 cooperate to form the medicine bottle bin 12. In this case, the movement path of the medicine bottle 2 can be limited by the first side plate 112, the second side plate 113, and the bottom plate 111 so that the medicine bottle 2 can be transferred smoothly and orderly from the medicine bottle bin 12 to the picking mechanism 20.

[0064] In some examples, the medicine bottle 2 can be carried between the first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113. In other words, the medicine bottle 2 can be located in the medicine bottle compartment 12. In some examples, the distance between the first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113 is adjustable. In other words, the size of the medicine bottle compartment 12 is adjustable. In this case, by adjusting the size of the medicine bottle compartment 12 to be consistent with the size of the medicine bottle 2, it can be suitable for carrying medicine bottles 2 of different sizes.

[0065] In some examples, the bottom plate 111, the first side plate 112, and the second side plate 113 can be arranged along the D1 direction and the D2 direction. In other words, the vial bin 12 can extend along the D1 direction or the D2 direction. In this case, multiple vials 2 can be arranged in a straight line in the vial bin 12 along the D1 direction or the D2 direction, thereby facilitating the picking mechanism 20 to pick up the vials 2 one by one.

[0066] In some examples, the propulsion unit 14 can be disposed in the ridge of the supporting portion 11. In other words, the propulsion unit 14 can be disposed in the medicine bottle bin 12. In some examples, when the medicine bottle bin 12 is loaded with medicine bottles 2, the propulsion unit 14 can apply an action to the medicine bottles 2. In some examples, the propulsion unit 14 can apply an action to the medicine bottles 2 in the direction D2. In other words, the propulsion unit 14 can apply an action to the medicine bottles 2 toward the port position of the medicine bottle bin 12. In this case, the medicine bottles 2 can be pushed out of the medicine bottle bin 12 by the propulsion unit 14, so that the medicine bottles 2 can be transferred from the loading mechanism 10 to the picking mechanism 20.

[0067] In some examples, the blocking portion 13 may be provided at the end of the first side plate 112 and / or the end of the second side plate 113 (see Figure 2 、 Figure 3A 、 Figure 3B and Figure 3C ). In other words, the blocking portion 13 can be provided at the end of the supporting portion 11. In some examples, the blocking portion 13 can be provided at the end of the supporting portion 11 close to the picking mechanism 20. In other words, the blocking portion 13 is located at the opening of the vial bin 12. In this case, the blocking portion 13 can hold the vial 2 in the vial bin 12 when the picking mechanism 20 does not pick up the vial 2, thereby preventing the vial 2 from falling off the loading mechanism 10 as much as possible.

[0068] In some examples, the barrier 13 is openable and closable. When the picking mechanism 20 approaches the loading mechanism 10 to pick up the medicine bottle 2, the barrier 13 can be opened (described in detail later). After the picking mechanism 20 picks up the medicine bottle 2 and moves away from the loading mechanism 10, the barrier 13 can be closed (described in detail later).

[0069] In some examples, the blocking portion 13 may include a movable member 131, a transmission member 132, and a return member 133 (see Figure 3A 、 Figure 3B and Figure 3C ). The movable member 131 can be detachably arranged at the opening of the medicine bottle warehouse 12. The transmission member 132 can be linked with the movable member 131 and used to provide a servicing effect of moving the movable member 131 away from the opening of the medicine bottle warehouse 12. The return member 133 can be linked with the movable member 131 and used to apply a return effect to the movable member 131 so that the movable member 131 returns to the opening of the medicine bottle warehouse 12. In this case, by applying a force to the transmission member 132, the movable member 131 can be moved away from the opening of the medicine bottle warehouse 12 so that the medicine bottle 2 can leave the medicine bottle warehouse 12, thereby facilitating the picking mechanism 20 to pick up the medicine bottle 2; in addition, after the picking mechanism 20 picks up the medicine bottle 2, the movable member 131 can return to the opening of the medicine bottle warehouse 12 through the return member 133, thereby providing an openable and closable blocking portion 13.

[0070] In some examples, the transmission member 132 can move in a manner that moves along the extension direction (ie, direction D1) of the vial compartment 12 to actuate the movable member 131 to leave the compartment opening of the vial compartment 12 (see Figure 3A 、 Figure 3B and Figure 3C ).

[0071] It should be noted that in Figure 2 、 Figure 3A 、 Figure 3B and Figure 3C In the illustrated embodiment, the blocking portion 13 is disposed at one end of the second side panel 113. It should be understood that this is merely one configuration and should not be construed as limiting. For example, in some examples, the blocking portion 13 may also be disposed at one end of the first side panel 112. The following description will exemplify the embodiment in which the blocking portion 13 is disposed at one end of the second side panel 113.

[0072] In some examples, the second side plate 113 may have a mounting cavity 113a (see Figure 3A or Figure 3B ). The mounting chamber 113a can be located at an end of the second side plate 113 near the picking mechanism 20. In other words, the mounting chamber 113a can be located at the opening of the medicine bottle compartment 12. The mounting chamber 113a can be used to mount the blocking portion 13. In some examples, the mounting chamber 113a can be a through hole in the second side plate 113. In other words, the movable member 131, the transmission member 132, and the return member 133 can be disposed in a through hole in the second side plate 113.

[0073] In some examples, the movable member 131 may be block-shaped. The movable member 131 may be arranged in the mounting chamber 113a in a manner rotatable about an axis. Thus, the movable member 131 can be moved away from the opening of the medicine bottle warehouse 12 by rotation. In some examples, when the movable member 131 is rotated from the mounting chamber 113a to the opening of the medicine bottle warehouse 12, the blocking portion 13 is closed. In this case, the medicine bottle 2 is retained in the medicine bottle warehouse 12. In some examples, when the movable member 131 is rotated from the opening position of the medicine bottle warehouse 12 to the mounting chamber 113a, the blocking portion 13 is opened. In this case, the medicine bottle 2 can be transferred out of the medicine bottle warehouse 12.

[0074] In some examples, the transmission member 132 may include a trigger column 132a and a contact block 132b linked to the trigger column 132a (see Figure 3A 、 Figure 3B and Figure 3CThe contact block 132b can be disposed between the trigger post 132a and the movable member 131. In some examples, the contact block 132b can abut against the trigger post 132a and the movable member 131. In some examples, when the trigger post 132a is moved by force, the contact block 132b can be linked to the movable member 131.

[0075] like Figure 3A In the illustrated barrier 13, in some examples, when the barrier 13 is closed, the portion of the movable member 131 located in the vial compartment 12 can be located in the movement path of the contact block 132b. Thus, the movable member 131 can be transferred from the vial compartment 12 to the mounting chamber 113a by moving the contact block 132b to open the barrier 13.

[0076] like Figure 3B and Figure 3C In the blocking portion 13 shown, in some examples, the movable member 131 may have a guide groove. The contact block 132b may be columnar. The contact block 132b may be embedded in the guide groove of the movable member 131 and move in the guide groove of the movable member 131. When the blocking portion 13 is closed, the guide groove of the movable member 131 may gradually approach the medicine bottle chamber 12 along the D1 direction. In this case, when the contact block 132b moves along the D1 direction, the contact block 132b can move in the guide groove of the movable member 131 and link the movable member 131 to move the movable member 131 in a direction away from the medicine bottle chamber 12, thereby moving the movable member 131 away from the medicine bottle chamber 12.

[0077] In some examples, the trigger column 132a may be cylindrical. The trigger column 132a may be arranged in the mounting chamber 113a in such a manner that the length direction of the trigger column 132a is consistent with the extension direction of the medicine bottle chamber 12 (see Figure 3A 、 Figure 3B and Figure 3C In other words, the trigger post 132a can be arranged in the installation chamber 113a along the D1 direction. In this case, by applying an action along the D1 direction to the trigger post 132a, the trigger post 132a can be moved in the installation chamber 113a along the D1 direction to link the contact block 132b. In other words, by applying an action along the D1 direction to the trigger post 132a, the blocking portion 13 can be opened.

[0078] In some examples, the trigger post 132a can at least partially extend out of the mounting chamber 113a. This facilitates applying an action on the trigger post 132a to open the blocking portion 13. In some examples, the portion of the trigger post 132a extending out of the mounting chamber 113a can be located on the path of the trigger portion 25 when the pickup mechanism 20 approaches the carrier mechanism 10 (described later). In this case, the pickup mechanism 20 can open the blocking portion 13 through the trigger portion 25 to pick up the medicine bottle 2 when it approaches the carrier mechanism 10.

[0079] In some examples, the return member 133 may be a spring. Figure 3A In the embodiment shown in , the return member 133 is a torsion spring. Figure 3B and Figure 3C In the illustrated embodiment, the return member 133 is a coil spring. In some examples, the return member 133 can be compressed when the movable member 131 is forced away from the opening of the vial compartment 12. In this case, the compressed return member 133 can provide a restoring force to the movable member 131, causing it to return to the opening of the vial compartment 12. Thus, the return member 133 can be used to return the movable member 131 to the opening of the vial compartment 12 when the force applied to it is removed.

[0080] In some examples, the blocking portion 13 may further include a second restoring member 134 (see Figure 3A 、 Figure 3B and Figure 3C ). The second restoring member 134 can be a coil spring, and the second restoring member 134 can be arranged along the D1 and D2 directions and located between the trigger column 132a and the side wall of the installation chamber 113a. When the trigger column 132a is forced to move along the D1 direction, the trigger column 132a compresses the second restoring member 134. In this case, when the force that causes the blocking portion 13 to open is removed, the second restoring member 134 can exert an action on the trigger column 132a in the D2 direction. Figure 3A In the blocking portion 13 shown, the transmission member 132 moves in the direction D2 to provide a certain space for the movable member 131 to move back to the medicine bottle chamber 12; Figure 3B and Figure 3C In the blocking portion 13 shown, the transmission member 132 moves in the direction D2 to link the movable member 131 back to the medicine bottle chamber 12, thereby facilitating the blocking portion 13 to be re-closed.

[0081] In some examples, the propulsion portion 14 may be disposed on the bottom plate 111 (see Figure 2). The propulsion unit 14 can move along the bottom plate 111. In other words, the propulsion unit 14 can move along the D1 direction or the D2 direction. In some examples, the propulsion unit 14 may include a resistance member 141, a power unit, and a braking unit. The resistance member 141 can be used to abut against the medicine bottle 2 placed in the medicine bottle warehouse 12. The power unit can be used to be connected with the resistance member 141 and can apply an action to the resistance member 141 toward the warehouse opening of the medicine bottle warehouse 12. The braking unit can be used to apply a braking action to the resistance member 141. Thus, the medicine bottle 2 can be pushed out of the medicine bottle warehouse 12 by the propulsion unit 14; and the resistance member 141 can be braked by the braking unit when there is no need to apply an action to the medicine bottle 2.

[0082] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing a pickup mechanism 20 according to an example of the present disclosure; Figure 5A 1 shows a bottom view of the clamping portion 23 according to an example of the present disclosure in an open state;

[0083] Figure 5B 1 shows a bottom view of the clamping portion 23 according to the example of the present disclosure in a clamping state; Figure 6 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the driving unit 24 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 In addition to the directions D1, D2, D3, and D4, the vertically upward direction is understood as the direction D5, and the vertically upward direction is understood as the direction D6, with reference to a normal operating posture (for example, the placement mechanism 10 is placed horizontally and the pickup mechanism 20 is moved horizontally toward or away from the placement mechanism 10). It should be noted that the above-mentioned relative position and relative direction terms are based on the normal operating posture and normal operating method and should not be understood as limiting.

[0084] In some examples, the picking mechanism 20 may include a base 21, a mounting plate 22, a clamping portion 23, and a driving portion 24 (see Figure 4 The mounting plate 22 may be disposed on the base 21. The clamping portion 23 may be disposed on the mounting plate 22. The clamping portion 23 may move on the mounting plate 22 to clamp the medicine bottle 2. The driving portion 24 may be used to drive the movement of the clamping portion 23 so that the clamping portion 23 clamps or releases the medicine bottle 2.

[0085] In some examples, the base 21 may be a robotic arm (see Figure 4 The base 21 can move along the direction D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, or D6. In other words, the base 21 can move closer to or farther from the loading mechanism 10. Thus, the base 21 can drive the clamping portion 23 closer to or farther from the medicine bottle 2 to facilitate picking up the medicine bottle 2.

[0086] In some examples, the mounting plate 22 may be in the form of a flat plate (see Figure 4 ). The mounting plate 22 can be provided at the end of the base 21 close to the loading mechanism 10. In some examples, the end of the base 21 close to the mounting plate 22 can rotate around the rotation axis L. In other words, the mounting plate 22 can be provided on the base 21 in a manner that rotates around the rotation axis L. In some examples, the end of the base 21 close to the mounting plate 22 can swing at a predetermined angle. In other words, the mounting plate 22 and the clamping portion 23 provided on the mounting plate 22 can swing at a predetermined angle. In this case, when the clamping portion 23 clamps the medicine bottle 2 and the medicine to be mixed is injected into the medicine bottle 2, the medicine in the medicine bottle 2 can be mixed by swinging the medicine bottle 2. In other examples, the mounting plate 22 can be provided on the base 21 in a manner that is orthogonal to the rotation axis L.

[0087] In some examples, the clamping portion 23 may include a first arm 231, a second arm 232, and a central arm 233 (see Figure 5A and Figure 5B ). The central arm 233 can be linked with the first arm 231 and the second arm 232. The first arm 231 and the second arm 232 can move toward each other or move away from each other. In some examples, the central arm 233, the first arm 231, and the second arm 232 can cooperate to form a clamping space a. The central arm 233, the first arm 231, and the second arm 232 can abut against the medicine bottle 2 located in the clamping space a to clamp the medicine bottle 2. In some examples, the central arm 233, the first arm 231, and the second arm 232 can move relative to each other to move closer to or away from the medicine bottle 2 to clamp or release the medicine bottle 2.

[0088] In some examples, the central arm 233 can move along directions D1 and D2. In some examples, the first arm 231 and the second arm 232 can move along directions D3 and D4.

[0089] In some examples, the clamping portion 23 can have an open state and a clamping state. When the clamping portion 23 is switched to the open state, the central arm 233 can move in the direction D2, the first arm 231 can move in the direction D3, and the second arm 232 can move in the direction D4. In this case, the clamping space a can be expanded, so that the clamping portion 23 can release the medicine bottle 2 located in the clamping space a. When the clamping portion 23 is switched to the clamping state, the central arm 233 can move in the direction D1, the first arm 231 can move in the direction D4, and the second arm 232 can move in the direction D3. In this case, the clamping space a can be reduced, and the clamping portion 23 can clamp the medicine bottle 2 located in the clamping space a.

[0090] In some examples, the first arm 231 and the second arm 232 may be located on opposite sides of the central arm 233. In some examples, a first guide slot 233a and a second guide slot 233b may be provided on opposite wings of the central arm 233. In some examples, the first guide slot 233a and the second guide slot 233b may gradually move away from each other along the direction D1.

[0091] like Figure 5A and Figure 5B As shown, in some examples, the first arm 231 may have a first cam 231a. The first cam 231a may be movably embedded in the first guide groove 233a. The second arm 232 may have a second cam 232a. The second cam 232a may be movably embedded in the second guide groove 233b. In this case, when the first arm 231 and the second arm 232 approach each other, that is, the first arm 231 moves along the D4 direction and the second arm 232 moves along the D3 direction, the central arm 233 can be linked to move along the D1 direction, thereby switching the clamping portion 23 to a clamping state. In addition, when the first arm 231 and the second arm 232 move away from each other, that is, the first arm 231 moves along the D3 direction and the second arm 232 moves along the D4 direction, the central arm 233 can be linked to move along the D2 direction, thereby switching the clamping portion 23 to an open state. As a result, the clamping space a can be expanded or contracted, thereby releasing or clamping the medicine bottle 2.

[0092] In some examples, the drive unit 24 may be disposed on the mounting plate 22 (see FIG. Figure 4 The first arm 231 and the second arm 232 may be provided on the driving portion 24 .

[0093] In some examples, the driving portion 24 may include a slide 241, a first slider 242, and a second slider 243 (see Figure 6 In some examples, the driving portion 24 may be configured to drive the clamping portion 23 to switch between the open state and the clamping state.

[0094] In some examples, the first slider 242 and the second slider 243 may be connected to the slide 241 via a tongue-and-groove connection. The first slider 242 can move on the slide 241 along directions D3 and D4 via the tongue-and-groove connection. The second slider 243 can move on the slide 241 along directions D3 and D4 via the tongue-and-groove connection. In some examples, the first arm 231 may be disposed on the first slider 242. The second arm 232 may be disposed on the second slider 243. In this case, the relative movement of the first slider 242 and the second slider 243 can cause the first arm 231 and the second arm 232 to move relative to each other, thereby enabling the clamping portion 23 to switch between an open state and a clamped state.

[0095] In some examples, the picking mechanism 20 may further include a trigger 25 (see Figure 4 The trigger portion 25 can be disposed on the mounting plate 22. The trigger portion 25 can be configured to cooperate with the trigger post 132a. The trigger portion 25 can be configured to exert an action on the trigger post 132a as the pickup mechanism 20 approaches the carrier mechanism 10. In other words, the trigger post 132a can be located in the path of the trigger portion 25 as the pickup mechanism 20 approaches the carrier mechanism 10. In this case, the pickup mechanism 20 can easily open the blocking portion 13 to pick up the medicine bottle 2.

[0096] Figure 7A is a schematic diagram showing the touch portion 25 involved in the example of the present disclosure; Figure 7B FIG. 2 is an exploded view showing the actuator 25 according to an example of the present disclosure.

[0097] In some examples, the touch portion 25 may include a mounting member 251, a touch member 252, a detection member 253, and an elastic member 254 (see Figure 7A The triggering member 252, the detecting member 253, and the elastic member 254 may be disposed on the mounting member 251. The triggering member 252 may be configured to abut against the trigger post 132a. The detecting member 253 may be configured to detect the position of the triggering member 252. The elastic member 254 may be configured to provide a restoring effect to the triggering member 252.

[0098] In some examples, the trigger member 252 may include a trigger post 252a and a trigger block 252b (see FIG. Figure 7B ). The trigger member 252 may have a preset detection area. The preset detection area may be located at the trigger column 252a. In some examples, the preset detection area may be a notch formed on the trigger column 252a. The trigger block 252b may be provided at the end of the trigger column 252 and may abut against the trigger column 132a when the trigger portion 25 opens the blocking portion 13. In some examples, when the trigger portion 25 applies an action to the trigger column 132a, the trigger member 252 moves relative to the mounting member 251 under the relative action of the trigger column 132a. In some examples, the position of the preset detection area may correspond to the position of the trigger column 132a when the movable member 131 moves away from the position of the opening of the medicine bottle chamber 12. In other words, when the trigger portion 25 opens the blocking portion 13, the trigger member 252 moves to a predetermined position under the influence of the relative action of the trigger column 132a.

[0099] In some examples, the detection member 253 may have a detection area. The detection area can be used to detect the preset detection area of the trigger column 252a. In some examples, when the movable member 131 moves away from the opening of the medicine bottle compartment 12, the preset detection area of the trigger member 252 and the detection area of the detection member 253 may at least partially overlap. In other words, the detection area of the detection member 253 is located at the predetermined position to which the trigger member 252 moves under the influence of the relative action of the trigger column 132a. In this case, when the blocking portion 13 is opened by the trigger portion 25, the preset detection area of the trigger member 252 moves to the detection area of the detection member 253. In other words, when the blocking portion 13 is opened, the detection area of the detection member 253 can detect the preset detection area of the trigger member 252, thereby enabling the detection member 253 to detect whether the blocking portion 13 can be opened.

[0100] In some examples, the elastic member 254 can be a coil spring. The elastic member 254 can be sleeved on the outer circumference of the trigger column 252a. In some examples, one end of the elastic member 254 can abut the end of the trigger column 252a, and the other end can be fixed to the mounting member 251. In this case, when the touch member 252 moves under the relative action of the trigger column 132a, it can compress the elastic member 254, so that the elastic member 254 generates elastic potential energy to restore the touch member 252 to its initial position. When the picking mechanism 20 picks up the medicine bottle 2 and moves away from the loading mechanism 10, the blocking portion 13 is closed under the action of the return member 133 and the second return member 134, and the trigger column 132a returns to its initial position, so that the touch member 252 is continuously affected by the trigger column 132a during the process of the picking mechanism 20 moving away from the loading mechanism 10. 132a, the trigger member 252 continues to maintain a relatively static state with the detection member 253 during the process of the picking mechanism 20 moving away from the loading mechanism 10 under the action of the trigger column 132a. In other words, during the process of the picking mechanism 20 picking up the medicine bottle 2 and moving away from the loading mechanism 10, if the detection area of the detection member 253 can detect the preset detection area of the trigger member 252, it means that the blocking portion 13 can be switched from the open state to the closed state. Therefore, whether the blocking portion 13 can be closed normally can be detected by the detection member 253.

[0101] Figure 8A 1 is a schematic diagram showing the pickup mechanism 20 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure approaching the placement mechanism 10; Figure 8B is a schematic diagram of the picking mechanism 20 picking up a medicine bottle in addition to the examples of the present disclosure; Figure 9A is a schematic diagram showing the blocking portion 13 according to an example of the present disclosure being closed; Figure 9B 1 is a schematic diagram showing the blocking portion 13 of the present disclosure example being opened. Figure 9A and Figure 9BIn order to more clearly illustrate that the touch portion 25 opens the blocking portion 13, the portion that visually blocks the touch portion 25 is hidden in the drawing.

[0102] In some examples, the picking mechanism 20 may have a picking mode and a releasing mode. The picking mode may be switched between the picking mode and the releasing mode to pick up or release the medicine bottle 2.

[0103] In some examples, when the picking mechanism 20 is in the picking mode, the picking mechanism 20 can move along the direction D1 and the picking mechanism 20 can approach one end of the carrying mechanism 10 in a manner that the clamping portion 23 is switched to the open state. When the picking mechanism 20 approaches the carrying mechanism 10, the trigger portion 25 abuts against the trigger column 132a and exerts an action on the trigger column 132a to open the blocking portion 13. The propulsion portion 14 can transfer the medicine bottle 2 along the medicine bottle chamber 12 through the opened blocking portion 13 to the clamping space a. The clamping portion 23 is switched to the clamping state so that the first arm 231, the second arm 232, and the central arm 233 respectively abut against the medicine bottle 2 from three directions to clamp the medicine bottle 2 (see Figure 8A and Figure 8B In this case, the picking mechanism 20 can automatically pick up the medicine bottle 2 placed on the placing mechanism 10.

[0104] In this embodiment, when the base 21 moves in the direction D1 (i.e., the direction close to the loading mechanism 10), the trigger column 132a of the blocking mechanism 13 can be located on the moving path of the trigger portion 25, and the trigger column 132a can be actuated by the trigger portion 25 to make the movable member 131 leave the port of the medicine bottle compartment 12 (see Figure 9A and Figure 9B In this case, the base 21 can be moved to link the trigger portion 25, so that the trigger portion 25 actuates the transmission member 132, thereby causing the movable member 131 to leave the opening of the medicine bottle chamber 12, thereby simplifying the operation of the picking mechanism 20 to pick up the medicine bottle 2.

[0105] In some examples, when the picking mechanism 20 is in the release mode, the picking mechanism 20 switches the clamping portion 23 from the clamped state to the open state to release the medicine vial 2. In other words, when the picking mechanism 20 is in the release mode, the first arm 231 and the second arm 232 move away from the medicine vial 2 located in the clamping space a in a reverse manner and move the central arm 233 away from the medicine vial 2 to release the medicine vial 2.

[0106] Figure 10 2 is a schematic diagram showing a bottle identification mechanism 30 according to an example of the present disclosure.

[0107] In some examples, the bottle identification mechanism 30 may include a support portion 31, a scanning portion 32, an illumination portion 33, and a bottle removal portion 34 (see Figure 10 The support portion 31 can be used to support the medicine bottle 2. The scanning portion 32 can be used to scan the medicine bottle 2 on the support portion 31 to obtain a scanned image and obtain information about the medicine bottle 2 based on the scanned image. The lighting portion 33 can be used to illuminate the medicine bottle 2 on the support portion 31 to improve the clarity of the scanned image of the medicine bottle 2 obtained by the scanning portion 32. The bottle removal portion 34 can be used to remove the scanned medicine bottle 2 on the support portion 31.

[0108] In some examples, the support portion 31 may include a support platform 311 and a support seat 312 (see Figure 10 ). The support base 312 can be rotatably arranged on the support platform 311. In some examples, the support base 312 can rotate on the support platform 311. The support base 312 can be used to fix the medicine bottle 2. In some examples, the medicine bottle 2 can be fixed on the support platform 311 in a vertical position. In this case, the support base 312 can drive the medicine bottle 2 to rotate, thereby facilitating the complete display of the medicine bottle 2 to the scanning unit 32.

[0109] In some examples, the support base 312 includes a weight sensor that can be used to weigh the medicine bottle 2. In this case, the weight measured by the weight sensor can be compared with the weight of the medicine bottle 2 before the medicine is removed to determine whether the medicine in the medicine bottle 2 has been removed.

[0110] In some examples, the scanning unit 32 may be a scanner with a line scanning function. The scanning unit 32 moves relative to the medicine bottle 2 on the support unit 31 to scan the medicine bottle 2 and obtain a scanned image of the medicine bottle 2. In some examples, the scanning unit 32 may scan the peripheral image of the medicine bottle 2 line by line while the medicine bottle 2 rotates. In some examples, the scanning unit 32 can obtain information about the medicine bottle 2 based on the scanned image and determine whether the medicine bottle 2 meets the medication requirements based on the obtained information.

[0111] In some examples, the lighting unit 33 may include a light source for illuminating the medicine bottle 2 when the scanning unit 32 scans the medicine bottle 2. The lighting unit 33 may include a first lighting unit 331 and a second lighting unit 332 (see Figure 10). In some examples, the first lighting unit 331 can be arranged colinearly with the support unit 31 and the scanning unit 32, and the support unit 31 can be located between the first lighting unit 331 and the scanning unit 32. In some examples, when the body of the medicine bottle 2 located on the support unit 31 is a transparent bottle body, the medicine bottle 2 is illuminated by the first lighting unit 331. In some examples, the second lighting unit 332 can be located on one side of the straight line where the first lighting unit 331, the support unit 31, and the scanning unit 32 are located. In some examples, when the body of the medicine bottle 2 located on the support unit 31 is a non-transparent bottle body, the medicine bottle 2 is illuminated by the second lighting unit 332. In this case, the clarity of the scanned image of the medicine bottle 2 obtained by the scanning unit 32 can be improved, thereby improving the accuracy of the information judgment of the medicine bottle 2.

[0112] In some examples, the bottle removal unit 34 may include a bottle removal rod 341 and a bottle removal rod mounting base 342. The bottle removal rod 341 may be mounted on the bottle removal rod mounting base 342 so as to rotate about an M axis. In some examples, the medicine vials 2 on the support unit 31 may be located in an area that is swept by the bottle removal rod 341 during its rotation. In this case, the bottle removal unit 34 can remove a scanned medicine vial 2 from the support unit 31 to facilitate subsequent scanning of other medicine vials 2.
