[0006] A discharging assembly for discharging different types of materials, wherein three groups of discharging assemblies are provided and are respectively installed on the inner walls of the lower sorting box, the middle sorting box and the upper sorting box;

[0007] A sorting component, which is installed on the outer wall of the return rack and is used to sort different types of materials;

[0008] A distribution component, which is used to reasonably distribute materials to different discharging components;

[0009] A controller is installed at the front end of the upper sorting box, and the controller is used for signal reception, signal processing and instruction sending.

[0010] Preferably, the discharging assembly comprises a T-shaped frame installed on the inner walls of the lower sorting box, the middle sorting box and the upper sorting box, the first discharging roller, the second discharging roller and the third discharging roller are respectively installed in three directions inside the T-shaped frame, the ends of the T-shaped frame are fixedly connected with discharging plates, the outer walls of the discharging plates are respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls of the lower sorting box, the middle sorting box and the upper sorting box, and the bottom end of the T-shaped frame is installed with a laser ranging sensor with time parameter setting.

[0011] Preferably, discharge ports are provided on the outside of the lower sorting box, the middle sorting box and the upper sorting box at positions corresponding to the discharge plates, and sealed doors are installed on the outside of the feed port, the return port and the discharge port.

[0012] Preferably, the sorting component includes an electric turntable fixedly connected to the end of the return frame, the driving end of the electric turntable is fixedly connected to a weight sensor, the detection end of the weight sensor is fixedly connected to a plurality of weighing frames, first linear motors are installed on both sides of the outer wall of the weight sensor, the driving ends of the first linear motors are commonly fixedly connected to the sorting frames, sorting rollers are installed inside the sorting frame, and the weighing frames can be inserted in the gaps of the sorting rollers.

[0013] Preferably, the distribution assembly includes an electric slide rail fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the lower sorting box, the driving end of the electric slide rail is fixedly connected to a distribution plate, the side wall of the distribution plate is fixedly connected to a second linear motor, the top end of the distribution plate is slidably connected to a distribution rack, and the driving end of the second linear motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the distribution rack.

[0014] Preferably, ultraviolet disinfection lamps are fixedly connected above the inner walls of the lower sorting box, the middle sorting box and the upper sorting box corresponding to the T-shaped frame.

[0015] Preferably, inspection doors are installed on both sides of the exterior of the lower sorting box.

[0016] Preferably, the sorting method of the automatic disinfection and sorting device for medical supplies comprises the following steps:

[0017] S1. Different types of medical material packages are conveyed to the top of the weight sensor through the feed roller. At this time, the sorting roller is interspersed between the weighing frames, and the material packages are received and weighed by the weighing frames. The standard weights of different material packages are set to A, B and C, and the error thresholds are A±20g, B±20g and C±20g respectively. When the weight is within the error range, the material packages are sorted. When the error is greater than the error range, the first linear motor moves to half of the stroke and the unqualified material packages are conveyed to the return roller through the sorting roller for recycling inspection;

[0018] S2. For qualified material packages, the electric turntable is used to adjust the angle according to the material packages of different weights, and then the first linear motor drives the sorting roller to move to the same height as the T-shaped frame and then transfers it to the first, second or third discharge roller for discharge and temporary storage;

[0019] S3. When the laser ranging sensor detects the material package and the dwell time exceeds 3s, the second linear motor drives the distribution frame to pull the material package back to the top of the distribution plate, and then the electric slide rail drives the distribution plate to move to the position of other T-shaped frames and pushes the material package back to the top of the T-shaped frame. The distribution plate continues to move upward for a distance and then retracts to its original position.

[0020] Working principle: different medical material packages are placed above the feed roller through the feed port, and the material packages are conveyed to the end through the feed roller and fall on the top of the weighing frame. At this time, the sorting rollers are interspersed between the weighing frames and the weighing frame is higher than the sorting rollers. The material packages are weighed by weight sensors. Since the materials in different types of material packages are different, the weights are different. By setting the weight error, when the material package does not meet the weight error range, it will be judged as an unqualified state of over-placing or missing materials. At this time, the first linear motor drives the sorting roller to move to half of the stroke and lifts the material package through the sorting roller. Then the sorting roller rotates and conveys the unqualified material package above to the return roller for recycling inspection. When the material package meets a certain weight error, the electric turntable of the material package is rotated to different angles according to different weight error ranges, and then the material package is returned to the return roller for recycling inspection. A linear motor lifts the sorting roller to the height of the corresponding discharge roller to complete the docking. Different material packages can be transported to different directions for discharge. When the material package above a discharge roller is fully loaded, the last material package will block the laser ranging sensor for more than 3 seconds. The second linear motor drives the distribution rack to pull the extra material packages back to the top of the distribution disk, and then the electric slide rail drives the distribution disk to move to the discharge roller at other heights. The reverse operation pushes the material package back to the top of the discharge roller, and then the distribution disk continues to move upward for a distance and then withdraws. Finally, the distribution disk moves to the original position to complete the reset. The material package will be temporarily stored in the sorting box. When taking it, you only need to take it at the corresponding discharge port. The material package temporarily stored in the sorting box will continue to kill bacteria and viruses through ultraviolet disinfection lamps to ensure that it meets hygiene standards.

[0021] The present invention provides an automatic disinfection and sorting device for medical supplies, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. The present invention can sort the material packages according to the weight of the material packages by setting up the sorting components, thereby ensuring the orderliness and accuracy of the material package arrangement, avoiding errors in manual sorting, facilitating the use of medical staff, and returning unqualified materials to avoid putting too much or too little materials, thus providing a good guarantee for the functional integrity of the material packages.

[0023] 2. The present invention can reasonably distribute the material packages to the discharging rollers of different heights for storage through the distribution components, ensuring that the discharging rollers of each layer can discharge materials in an orderly manner, thereby improving the space utilization rate.

[0024] 3. The present invention can disinfect the material packages while sorting by installing ultraviolet disinfection lamps between each layer of discharge rollers, ensuring that each material package meets the hygiene standards when used, avoiding subsequent disinfection processing procedures.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the specification of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example

A feed roller 9 for conveying materials is installed inside the feed rack 13. A return rack 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the return port 6. A return roller 15 for returning materials is installed inside the return rack 14.

[0035] Specifically, by setting up three layers of sorting boxes including a lower sorting box 1, a middle sorting box 2 and an upper sorting box 3, the space utilization rate is improved, and the material storage capacity of the sorting box is guaranteed. When feeding, different medical material packages are placed above the feed roller 9 through the feed port 5, and the material packages are transported to the inside of the sorting box for sorting through the feed roller 9. The unqualified material packages can be transported to the return port 6 for recycling inspection through the return roller 15, which is convenient for the return of the unqualified material packages.

[0036] A discharging assembly for discharging different kinds of materials, the discharging assembly comprising a T-shaped frame 16 installed on the inner walls of the lower sorting box 1, the middle sorting box 2 and the upper sorting box 3, the first discharging roller 17, the second discharging roller 18 and the third discharging roller 19 are respectively installed in three directions inside the T-shaped frame 16, the ends of the T-shaped frame 16 are fixedly connected with a discharging plate 27, the outer walls of the discharging plate 27 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls of the lower sorting box 1, the middle sorting box 2 and the upper sorting box 3, the sorting assembly comprises an electric turntable 24 fixedly connected to the end of the return frame 14, the driving end of the electric turntable 24 is fixedly connected with a weight sensor 23, the detection end of the weight sensor 23 is fixedly connected with a plurality of weighing frames 22, the outer walls of the weight sensor 23 are both sides of the first linear motor 21, the driving end of the first linear motor 21 is commonly fixedly connected with a sorting frame 20, the sorting frame 20 is installed with a sorting roller 10, and the weighing frame 22 can be inserted in the gap of the sorting roller 10;

[0037] Specifically, during the initial sorting, the sorting rollers 10 are inserted between the weighing frames 22 and the weighing frames 22 are higher than the sorting rollers 10. The material packages fall onto the weighing frames 22 and are weighed by the weight sensors 23. Due to the different materials in different types of material packages, different weight error ranges are set for different material packages. When the weighing result meets a certain weight error range, the angle of the electric turntable 24 is adjusted according to the material package type corresponding to the weight error range, so as to change the conveying direction of the sorting rollers 10. The adjustable angles of the electric turntable 24 during sorting are 0°, 90°, 180° and 270°. After adjusting the corresponding angles, the sorting rollers 10 are lifted to the height of the corresponding discharging rollers by the first linear motor 21 to complete the docking. Different material packages can be transported to different directions for discharging, and different types of material packages can be flexibly sorted, which improves the orderliness and accuracy of sorting and facilitates the subsequent use by medical staff.

[0038] The bottom end of the T-shaped frame 16 is installed with a laser distance sensor 25 with time parameter setting, and the distribution component includes an electric slide rail 11 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the lower sorting box 1, and the driving end of the electric slide rail 11 is fixedly connected to the distribution plate 26, and the side wall of the distribution plate 26 is fixedly connected to the second linear motor 28, and the top end of the distribution plate 26 is slidably connected to the distribution frame 29, and the driving end of the second linear motor 28 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the distribution frame 29;

[0039] Specifically, when the material packages above a certain discharge roller are fully loaded, the last material package will block the laser ranging sensor 25 for more than 3 seconds. The second linear motor 28 drives the distribution rack 29 to pull the extra material packages back to the top of the distribution plate 26, and then the electric slide rail 11 drives the distribution plate 26 to move to the discharge roller at other heights.

[0044] The sorting method of the automatic disinfection and sorting device for medical supplies is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0045] S1. Different types of medical material packages are conveyed to the top of the weight sensor 23 through the feed roller 9. At this time, the sorting roller 10 is inserted between the weighing frames 22. The material packages are received and weighed by the weighing frames 22. The standard weights of different material packages are set to A, B and C, and the error thresholds are A±20g, B±20g and C±20g respectively. When the weight meets the error range, the material packages are sorted. When the error is greater than the error range, the first linear motor 21 moves to half of the stroke and the unqualified material packages are conveyed to the return roller 15 through the sorting roller 10 for recycling inspection;

[0046] S2. For qualified material packages, the electric turntable 24 is used to adjust the angle according to the material packages of different weights, and then the first linear motor 21 drives the sorting roller 10 to move to the same height as the T-shaped frame 16 and then transfers it to the first, second or third discharge roller for discharge and temporary storage;
