Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an intelligent medicine cabinet and belongs to the technical field of medical equipment. Background Art

[0002] Drug dispensing is the most basic and fundamental pharmaceutical service provided by the pharmacy department of a medical institution to patients. In order to meet the people's demand for medication, the pharmacy department must equip each pharmacy in the hospital with a certain amount of drug inventory for normal turnover. These drugs are usually placed in a medicine cabinet, and pharmacists complete the dispensing service according to prescriptions or medical orders. After the daily dispensing service is completed, the inventory of the drugs in the cabinet must be counted and compared with the theoretical inventory to ensure that the accounts are consistent and to promptly detect potential dispensing errors. In addition, pharmacists need to regularly check the expiration dates of the drugs in the cabinet to avoid the risk of issuing expired drugs.

[0003] In the prior art, pharmacies currently equipped with automatic medicine dispensing machines have limited storage capacity in the medicine cabinets attached to the medicine dispensing machines. If not replenished in time, they can only support the dispensing of medicines for several hours to 1 day. Therefore, ordinary medicine cabinets are needed to expand the storage space for turnover and store medicines that cannot be placed in the medicine dispensing machines. Pharmacies that are not equipped with automatic medicine dispensing machines all use ordinary medicine cabinets to store medicines. The existing ordinary medicine cabinets only have the basic function of storing medicines, but do not have auxiliary functions such as inventory counting, expiration date management, and information warnings. These tasks still need to be completed manually by pharmacists. This current working mode has many disadvantages: (1) Manual inventory counting requires printing a large number of paper inventory sheets, which incurs consumable costs. In order to facilitate later traceability, the inventory sheets need to be stored in a certain period of time, resulting in space costs. When they are destroyed after the storage period expires, there are also processing costs. (2) The paper inventory sheet traceability requires checking the records one by one, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and extremely inefficient. (3) If the same medicine is scattered on the front desk medicine shelf and the warehouse medicine shelf, the same inventory counter needs to go to different locations to count, or different inventory counters need to count separately and then add them up manually, which poses a large risk of errors. (4) The inventory results need to be manually entered into the computer, which poses a risk of input errors. (5) In the event of an inventory error, the main way to trace the person responsible is to rely on the signature on the inventory sheet, which is not only inefficient, but also may lead to traceability failure if a signature is missed. (6) There is no prompt for the expiration of drugs with a near-expiration date, which poses a risk of drug expiration. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the technical field for an intelligent medicine cabinet that can avoid the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0038] Embodiment 1

[0039] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the present invention provides an intelligent medicine cabinet, including a main cabinet 001, the main cabinet 001 is a frame hollow structure, and is surrounded by the cabinet frame to form a plurality of medicine storage compartments with hollow cavities for storing medicines; the front side of the main cabinet 001 is open, and the medicine storage compartment is also a cube-shaped with an open front side; the main cabinet 001 is arranged in parallel from top to bottom with a plurality of cube-shaped medicine storage compartments stacked in parallel up and down; each medicine storage compartment is set with a unique number.

[0040] Each single medicine storage compartment stores a single type of medicine; the upper and lower surfaces of the cube-shaped medicine storage compartment are partitions 105; and the medicines are placed on the lower partitions 105.

[0041] A detection bin 005 is provided on one of the left and right sides of the main cabinet 001, and the detection bin 005 is used to store the laser rangefinder 104 during non-inventory periods; a longitudinal guide rail 101 perpendicular to the ground is provided on the front side of the main cabinet 001 perpendicular to the ground, and a movable trolley 110 is provided on the longitudinal guide rail 101, and the laser rangefinder 104 is loaded on the trolley 110; a space for accommodating the longitudinal guide rail 101 and the laser rangefinder 104 is provided in the detection bin 005;

[0042] The detection chamber 005 is also provided with a plurality of sensors for receiving laser signals emitted by the laser rangefinder 104, thereby determining the position of the laser rangefinder 104. The sensors are arranged in sequence in the detection chamber 005 along the longitudinal direction perpendicular to the ground, and each sensor corresponds to a drug storage layer.

[0043] A moving trolley 110 is mounted on the longitudinal guide rail 101. The moving trolley 110 is provided with a power supply and a small motor. The moving trolley 110 is provided with moving wheels driven by the moving trolley motor. The moving wheels are closely attached to the left and right sides of the longitudinal guide rail 101. When the moving trolley 110 receives relevant instructions, the moving wheels rotate clockwise or counterclockwise to drive the moving trolley to move up and down along the longitudinal guide rail 101.

[0044] The laser rangefinder 104 is loaded on the mobile trolley 110. When the mobile trolley 110 moves up and down along the longitudinal guide rail 101, it drives the laser rangefinder 104 to move up and down along the longitudinal guide rail 101; when the laser rangefinder 104 moves up and down along the longitudinal guide rail 101, it passes through the drug storage layer where the drugs are stored in sequence;

[0045] At this time, the laser rangefinder 104 can determine the position of the medicine storage grid where the laser rangefinder 104 is located and determine the medicine storage grid to be scanned by emitting lasers to sensors at different heights in the detection chamber 005.

[0046] The laser rangefinder 104 scans the outer packaging of the medicines in the medicine storage compartment and calculates the quantity of the medicines in the cabinet by laser rangefinder.

[0047] Since the length, width and height dimensions of all medicine storage compartments are pre-entered and set in the server software, the single-variety medicines placed in the medicine storage compartments are also in fixed outer packaging forms, and the volume and length, width and height of the outer packaging of this variety of medicines are also fixed values. If the outer packaging of the medicines is placed in the medicine storage compartments in a fixed arrangement, there is a fixed mathematical relationship between the number of outer packaging of the medicines and the distance between the laser rangefinder 104 and the outermost outer packaging of the medicines. The number of outer packaging of the medicines stored in the medicine storage compartments can be known by detecting the distance between the laser rangefinder 104 and the outermost outer packaging of the medicines.

[0048] The upper frame of the main cabinet 001 is provided with a transverse guide rail 102 parallel to the ground. The transverse guide rail 102 and the longitudinal guide rail 101 are located on the same side of the main cabinet 001. The transverse guide rail 102 extends into the detection chamber 005 and intersects with the longitudinal guide rail 101. The upper end of the longitudinal guide rail 101 is movably mounted on the transverse guide rail 102.

[0049] The lower frame of the main cabinet 001 is provided with a second transverse guide rail 103 parallel to the ground. The second transverse guide rail 103 and the longitudinal guide rail 101 are located on the same side of the main cabinet 001. The second transverse guide rail 103 extends into the detection chamber 005 and intersects with the longitudinal guide rail 101. The lower end of the longitudinal guide rail 101 is movably mounted on the second transverse guide rail 103.

[0050] The longitudinal guide rail 101 intersects perpendicularly with the transverse guide rail 1 102 and the transverse guide rail 2 103 at the same time, and the upper and lower ends of the longitudinal guide rail 101 can move along the transverse guide rail 1 102 and the transverse guide rail 2 103 at the same time; when the longitudinal guide rail 101 moves laterally along the front side of the main cabinet 001, the longitudinal guide rail 101 passes through the front side of the medicine storage grid opening.

[0051] like Figure 8 As shown, a moving trolley 2 111 is mounted on the transverse guide rail 102, and a power source and a small motor are arranged in the moving trolley 2 111. Moving wheels driven by the moving trolley motor are arranged on the moving trolley 2 111, and the moving wheels are closely attached to the upper and lower sides of the transverse guide rail 102. When the moving trolley 2 111 receives relevant instructions, the moving wheels rotate clockwise or counterclockwise to drive the moving trolley 2 111 to move left and right along the transverse guide rail 102. The upper end of the longitudinal guide rail 101 is fixedly connected to the moving trolley 2 111, and the lower end of the longitudinal guide rail 101 is mounted on the transverse guide rail 2 103 through a slide 112. When the moving trolley 2 111 moves left and right along the transverse guide rail 102, the longitudinal guide rail 101 moves left and right along the transverse guide rail 102 and the transverse guide rail 2 103.

[0052] Universal wheels 107 are provided at the bottom of the main cabinet 001 , and the universal wheels 107 can be used to move the main cabinet 001 .

[0053] A server cabinet 003 can be optionally provided on the other side of the main cabinet 001 corresponding to the detection chamber 005. The server cabinet 003 is used to store and protect the server. The server is provided with a data processing module, a communication module and a data storage module. A touch display 004 for human-computer interaction is provided on the side of the server cabinet 003. The touch display 004 is connected to the server.

[0054] The interior of the main cabinet 001 is divided into multiple drug storage layers by partitions 105 for storing different drugs; an electronic tag 106 for displaying user-defined information is provided at the front end of the partition 105. The electronic tag 106 is connected to the server in the server cabinet 003.

[0055] like Figure 1 , as shown in FIG. 4 , the smart medicine cabinet also includes an extension cabinet 002, and the structure of the extension cabinet 002 is similar to that of the main cabinet 001; the extension cabinet 002 must be spliced ​​with the main cabinet 001 for use; the upper frame of the extension cabinet 002 is provided with a transverse guide rail, which is seamlessly spliced ​​with the transverse guide rail 102 of the main cabinet 001; the lower frame of the extension cabinet 002 is provided with a transverse guide rail, which is seamlessly spliced ​​with the transverse guide rail 2 103 of the main cabinet 001; the bottom of the extension cabinet 002 is connected to a universal wheel 107 for moving the extension cabinet 002; after the extension cabinet 002 and the main cabinet 001 are spliced ​​and positioned, the relative positions of the two cabinets can be locked;

[0056] The interior of the extended cabinet 002 is also divided into a plurality of upper and lower medicine storage layers by a partition 105 for storing different medicines; an electronic label 106 for displaying user-defined information is provided at the front end of the partition 105 .

[0057] The medicine storage grid structure in the extended cabinet 002 is the same as that in the main cabinet 001. When the extended cabinet 002 and the main cabinet 001 are spliced ​​together, there are two medicine storage layers at the same height. Similarly, as more extended cabinets are spliced ​​together in sequence, there are multiple medicine storage layers of the same size at the same height. When the longitudinal guide rail 101 moves left and right, it will pass over different medicine storage layers at the same height.

[0058] At this time, the laser rangefinder 104 on the longitudinal guide rail 101 emits lasers to sensors at different heights in the detection chamber 005, thereby determining the height of the laser rangefinder 104; since the opening size specifications of the medicine storage grid have been set in the server software system, the horizontal position of the laser rangefinder 104 can be calculated by obtaining the distance between the laser rangefinder 104 and the sensor in the detection chamber 005;

[0059] By sensing the sensors at different heights in the detection chamber 005, the laser rangefinder 104 obtains the longitudinal height; by sensing the distance between the laser rangefinder 104 and the sensor in the detection chamber 005, the laser rangefinder 104 obtains the lateral distance between the laser rangefinder 104 and the fixed sensor; thereby determining the uniquely numbered medicine storage grid corresponding to the position of the laser rangefinder 104, and determining the medicine storage grid to be scanned.

[0060] The laser rangefinder 104 scans the outer packaging of the medicine in the medicine storage compartment and calculates the quantity of the medicine in the medicine storage compartment by laser ranging.

[0061] like Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 6 , a hollow groove is arranged at the front end of the partition 105 of the medicine storage compartment of the smart medicine cabinet, and the groove is used as a storage space for scattered medicines and is set as a scattered medicine storage compartment; the top of the groove is covered with a slidable and detachable baffle 201; when the baffle 201 is in the covering state, there is no scattered medicine storage compartment, and the entire lower partition is used to store whole packaged medicines; when the baffle 201 is in the detached state, a storage box 202 for storing scattered medicines or ampoules / vials is exposed in the hollow groove; the slidable and detachable baffle 201 can slide on the top of the groove to adjust the size of the hollow groove space to meet the actual storage needs;

[0062] The hollow groove may also be provided with a slidable and detachable partition 203, which cooperates with the baffle 201 to separate more independent hollow small medicine compartments; the partition 203 may slide in the hollow groove to adjust the size of the independent small medicine compartments; these hollow small medicine compartments may be provided with storage boxes 202 for disassembled ampoules / syringes, and may also be used to store disassembled injections to prevent slipping and falling and causing injury to people. These independent small medicine compartments are storage compartments for scattered medicines.

[0063] Embodiment 2

[0064] A marker that can be sensed and used to mark the position is set along the longitudinal guide rail 101, and a receiver that can sense the marker is set in the laser rangefinder 104 or the mobile cart 110; when the laser rangefinder 104 or the mobile cart 110 passes by the marker, the height position information of the laser rangefinder 104 or the mobile cart 110 can be obtained, and the height position information will be transmitted to the server;

[0065] A marker that can be sensed and used to identify the position is set along the transverse guide rail 102; a receiver that can sense the marker is set in the mobile car 111; when the mobile car 111 passes by the marker, its own transverse position information can be obtained; and the transverse position information will be transmitted to the server;

[0066] By using the transverse and longitudinal position information obtained by the mobile cart 2 111 and the laser rangefinder 104 / mobile cart 1 10, the spatial position of the laser rangefinder 104 and the medicine storage grid to be scanned by the laser rangefinder 104 can be determined.

[0067] Embodiment 3

[0068] like Figure 7As shown, pulleys 108 which can be driven to rotate by a motor are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the upper end of the main cabinet 001, and a pulling rope 109 is wound on the pulley 108, one end of the pulling rope 109 is fixed on the pulley 108, and the other end of the pulling rope 109 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the longitudinal guide rail 101; the upper and lower ends of the longitudinal guide rail 101 are respectively mounted on the transverse guide rail 1 102 and the transverse guide rail 2 103 through a slide seat 112; the pulling ropes 109 on the left and right pulleys 108 on the left and right sides of the longitudinal guide rail 101 are in the same straight line; when the pulling ropes 109 on the left and right sides of the longitudinal guide rail 101 are tightened on one side and relaxed on the other side, the longitudinal guide rail 101 is moved laterally along the transverse guide rail 102 and the transverse guide rail 2 103.

[0069] Application of the present invention:

[0070] Medical institutions can customize the quantity, size, and internal partition layers of the main cabinet 001 and the expansion cabinet 002 according to actual storage needs.

[0071] According to the medicine cabinet placement plan, the cabinets are grouped in horizontal rows. Each group consists of a main cabinet 001 and several extension cabinets 002. The outermost cabinet in each group is connected to the server cabinet 003 for managing the entire group of medicine cabinets. The entire group of cabinets is transferred to the designated location and fixed by the universal wheel 107 to complete the positioning.

[0072] According to the actual work of the user, it is determined whether to enable or not the scattered medicine storage compartment at the front of the medicine storage compartment. When the scattered medicine storage compartment is enabled, the baffle 201 is removed and the baffle 201 and the partition 203 are slid according to the size of the medicine box and the user's needs to separate an independent small medicine compartment for storing scattered medicines.

[0073] If the number of scattered medicine storage compartments required at the front of the same medicine storage compartment is greater than 1, a partition 203 is installed in the front hollow groove of the medicine storage compartment partition 105, and the partition 203 is slid to a specified position according to user needs to complete the partition between different independent scattered medicine storage compartments, so as to obtain multiple scattered medicine storage compartments of the same type of medicine and adapt to different scattered packaging of the same medicine.

[0074] The server in server cabinet 003 is connected to the hospital's internal network through the RJ-45 port and network cable and communicates with the HIS (Hospital Information System) to obtain real-time information on the storage and use of drugs in each medicine cabinet in the current group, including but not limited to the drug's hospital code, drug name, specifications, manufacturer, batch number, expiration date, quantity and amount, etc.

[0075] When the medicines are put on the shelves, they should be stacked neatly in the same direction. The boxed medicines after being unpacked should be uniformly placed in the storage compartment for scattered medicines. The injectable medicines should be uniformly placed in the unpacked ampoule / vial storage box 202 and then placed in the storage compartment for scattered medicines.

[0076] The electronic tag 106 is installed at the front end of the partition 105 of the medicine storage compartment corresponding to the medicine. The user starts the custom electronic tag module in the server application by operating the touch display 004 and selects the information to be displayed. The selected information is pushed to the electronic tag 106 and displayed through the wireless transmitter in the server. A single server controls the refresh of several electronic tags 106.

[0077] When the drugs are put into storage, the user starts the storage module in the server application by operating the touch display 004. The server automatically communicates with the HIS to obtain the current batch storage information and caches it. After confirmation by the pharmacist, the storage information is automatically added to the current inventory information. If there are drugs with different batch numbers / expiration dates, the total inventory number can be displayed according to demand, or the inventory number can be displayed by batch number, and the user can be reminded to separate drugs of different batches when putting them on the shelves.

[0078] When drugs are dispensed, the server application communicates with the HIS to obtain the information to be dispatched and caches it. After the user confirms the drug dispensing operation in the HIS, the server application reads the relevant HIS operation and automatically records the information to be dispatched into the dispatch information and deducts the inventory number of the most recent batch with the current validity period. If the inventory number of the most recent batch with the current validity period is less than the current dispatch number, the shortfall will be automatically deducted from the inventory number of the batch with the closest validity period.

[0079] Before the medicine cabinet is activated, the length, width and height parameters of the medicine outer packaging are imported into the medicine information module of the server application. Before the inventory begins, confirm that the medicines in the cabinet are neatly stacked, and then start the inventory module in the server application through the touch display 004. The server application automatically communicates with the HIS to obtain the current theoretical inventory of medicines in the cabinet. The inventory person then directly enters it in the inventory module, or enters the number of medicines that are split and unpacked, and the number of medicines that are not put on the shelves in the whole box through a barcode scanner or PDA and confirms it. The inventory module issues a command, and the laser rangefinder 104 moves up, down, left and right until it moves to the medicine storage grid that needs to be counted. The laser rangefinder 104 scans the medicine storage grid that needs to be counted, automatically senses the number of whole-packaged medicines in the cabinet, and then adds it to the number of medicines that are split and unpacked and the number of medicines that are not put on the shelves in the whole box to obtain the actual inventory of medicines in the cabinet, and then compares it with the theoretical inventory. If the number is consistent, mark the account and the object as consistent; if it is inconsistent, prompt the user that there is a quantity difference and possible reasons. After manual review, the inventory person enters the inventory result in the inventory module. After the inventory of all medicines in the cabinet is completed, the inventory module can automatically generate an inventory report, which can be queried and traced based on information such as the inventory date, inventory person, inventory cabinet number, inventory medicine name and inventory medicine internal code.

[0080] When managing the expiration date of drugs, users can import the warning threshold of drug expiration date in the drug information module of the server application. They can set it uniformly or separately, and can modify it at any time as needed. When the expiration date of drugs in the cabinet is shorter than the threshold, the server application pops up a warning to remind users to pay attention to it.

[0081] The present invention can also add the functions of automatically collecting, processing, storing and displaying information to ordinary medicine cabinets, so that they have the ability of intelligent automatic processing; at the same time, it provides scalability and reserves for adding cabinets to expand medicine storage space in the future.

[0082] By connecting the cabinet to the server, and the server communicating with the hospital information system (HIS), the current medicine cabinet can automatically obtain and store all drug catalogs, inventory numbers, and in-and-out drug information, which can provide comparison standards for automatic inventory and provide a basis for expiration date management. Taking advantage of the relatively fixed size parameters of medicine box packaging and the relatively standardized placement of medicines, the laser rangefinder combined with the software algorithm can automatically and accurately obtain the number of fully packaged medicines in the current storage compartment, and then the small scattered medicine storage compartments at the front end can be flexibly adjusted to meet the needs of drug delivery;

[0083] Through the use of the present invention, not only can the disassembled medicines be neatly stacked to avoid falling, damage or loss, but also it does not affect the laser ranging. The actual inventory number of the current medicines can be obtained by adding the two quantities through the server application, and can be compared with the theoretical inventory number to give a judgment result, thereby realizing automatic inventory counting.

[0084] The drug expiration date information is obtained from the HIS through the server application and compared with the current system time. If the threshold set by the user is reached, a warning message will pop up on the user interface to remind the user to handle it in time.

[0085] By connecting the touch display of the server host, a friendly operation interface can be provided, which is convenient for users to operate server applications and can display customized information according to user needs. Through electronic tags, user-defined information can be displayed after communicating with the server to obtain information.

[0086] The present invention solves the defects of existing ordinary medicine cabinets that can only store medicines but lack inventory counting, expiration date management and information warning functions, realizes the automation of inventory counting and expiration date management of medicines in the cabinet, and can provide necessary warning information to pharmacists; while improving the accuracy of medicine dispensing, it helps to make medicine management precise, intelligent and efficient.

[0087] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not any formal or substantial limitation of the present invention. It should be pointed out that ordinary technicians in this technical field can make several improvements and supplements without departing from the present invention, and these improvements and supplements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention. Any technician familiar with this profession, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, can make some changes, modifications and equivalent changes made by using the technical content disclosed above, which are equivalent embodiments of the present invention; at the same time, any changes, modifications and evolutions of any equivalent changes made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
