[0051] A second linear module 206 is installed on the first sliding seat 205. The second linear module 206 has a similar structure to the first linear module and is suitable for realizing movement in the Z-axis direction. At the same time, the second linear module 206 has a second sliding seat (not shown in the figure) suitable for vertical sliding, so that the second linear module 206 is suitable for moving in the X-axis direction along with the first sliding seat 205 of the first linear module. At the same time, a medicine hopper 208 is installed on the second sliding seat of the second linear module 206. The medicine hopper 208 is suitable for moving in the Z-axis direction along with the second sliding seat of the second linear module 206, so as to realize driving the medicine hopper 208 to move to the medicine position of the specified coordinates.

[0053] In order to take out the medicines in the pharmacy 1, Figure 4 As shown, a vibrating cylinder 207 is connected between the second sliding seat of the second linear module 206 and the medicine hopper 208, and the medicine hopper 208 is connected to the telescopic end of the vibrating cylinder 207, so that when the medicine hopper 208 is moved to the medicine position of the specified coordinates by the first linear module and the second linear module 206, the first cylinder 210 is started to drive the material taking part 211 to extend, so that one end of the material taking part 211 extends into the metal support plate and is located directly below the material taking trough, and then the vibrating cylinder 207 is started to drive the medicine hopper 208 to vibrate up and down, so as to drive the material taking part 211 to pass through the material taking trough and lift the medicine stored on the metal support plate, and the medicine falls on the unloading groove and is guided by the guide plate 215, and falls into the medicine hopper 208 through the opening groove 212;

[0054] In order to deliver the extracted drugs, Figure 4 As shown, the bottom end of the medicine hopper 208 is open, and a sealing plate 213 is hinged at the bottom end of the medicine hopper 208. The sealing plate 213 is arc-shaped, and a second cylinder 214 is arranged on the outside of the medicine hopper 208. The output end of the second cylinder 214 is movably connected to the sealing plate 213, so that when the medicine is taken out, the medicine hopper 208 is driven to move to the medicine outlet 102 under the action of the first linear module and the second linear module 206, so that the medicine hopper 208 passes through the medicine outlet 102, and then the sealing plate 213 is driven to rotate by starting the second cylinder 214, so that the bottom end of the medicine hopper 208 is in an open state, and the medicine in the medicine hopper 208 can be poured out at this time;

[0055] In order to transport the poured medicine to the pharmacist, Figure 3As shown, a receiving mechanism 3 is provided at one side of the pharmacy 1, and the receiving mechanism 3 is used to receive the medicine poured out through the medicine hopper 208, and the receiving mechanism 3 includes a support frame 301 provided at one side of the pharmacy 1, and a conveyor belt 302 is installed on the support frame 301, and a shield 303 is provided on the conveyor belt 302, and the shield 303 is a hollow metal frame, and the shield 303 is used to prevent the medicine from falling on the conveyor belt 302 due to the elasticity of the contact with the conveyor belt 302, so that the medicine pops out and falls;

[0056] A blanking plate 304 is fixedly installed at one end of the conveyor belt 302, and the blanking plate 304 is used to guide and convey the medicines dropped on the conveyor belt 302, and a conveying mechanism 4 is provided on one side of the lower end of the blanking plate 304, and the conveying mechanism 4 is used to convey the medicines guided by the blanking plate 304 to the pharmacist;

[0058] The medicines are taken out and fall into the spiral slide 401 through the unloading plate 304, and then collected by the spiral slide 401 and fall into the receiving basket 403, so that the pharmacist can check and give them to the patient.

[0059] In summary, when dispensing medicines, the pharmacist dispenses medicines through computer operation, and the medicine dispensing mechanism 2 is started. At this time, the first linear module and the second linear module 206 drive the medicine hopper 208 to move to the coordinate position of the designated medicine, and then the first cylinder 210 is started to drive the material dispensing part 211 to extend, so that one end of the material dispensing part 211 is at the lower end of the material dispensing trough, and then the vibration cylinder 207 is started to drive the medicine hopper 208 to vibrate up and down, so as to drive the material dispensing part 211 to pass through the material dispensing trough and lift the medicine stored on the metal support plate, and the medicine slides into the medicine hopper 208 through the material dispensing part 211;

[0060] When the medicines are taken out, the medicine hopper 208 is moved to the medicine outlet 102 by the action of the first linear module and the second linear module 206, so that the medicine hopper 208 passes through the medicine outlet 102, and then the sealing plate 213 is driven to rotate by starting the second cylinder 214, so that the bottom end of the medicine hopper 208 is in an open state. At this time, the medicines in the medicine hopper 208 can be poured out and fall onto the conveyor belt 302, and then fall onto the unloading plate 304 through the conveyor belt 302, and finally collected by the spiral slide 401 and fall into the receiving basket 403, so that the pharmacist can check and give it to the patient.

[0061] Embodiment 2: In order to facilitate taking out medicines from the left side of the pharmacy 1, in the above embodiment, the medicine hopper 208 is arranged at the left side of the linear movable module, so that the medicine hopper 208 can extend outside the pharmacy 1, and the linear movable module is located on the right side of the medicine hopper 208. Therefore, if one wants to take out the medicines on the rightmost side of the medicine shelf 101, sufficient space can only be reserved on the right side of the pharmacy 1, which leads to the need to expand the overall space of the pharmacy 1. Under the condition of a certain space, the space for placing medicines in the pharmacy 1 will become smaller, thereby reducing the space utilization rate;

[0062] In order to solve the above problems, in this embodiment, when taking medicines, the linear moving module is set at the rear side of the medicine hopper 208, and when unloading medicines, the linear moving module is adjusted to the right side of the medicine hopper 208, which is convenient for taking medicines on both sides and does not increase the space of the pharmacy 1. Specifically:

[0063] like Figure 5-Figure 9 As shown, different from the above-mentioned embodiment, a clamping mechanism 5 is installed at the top of the inner wall of the pharmacy 1, and the clamping mechanism 5 is used to clamp the medicine hopper 208, so as to facilitate the change of the position of the linear moving module. The clamping mechanism 5 includes two sets of guide rails 501 fixedly installed at the top of the inner wall of the pharmacy 1, and a slider 502 slides on the guide rails 501, and a base plate 503 is connected between the two sets of sliders 502, and the base plate 503 is suitable for moving along the linear direction of the guide rails 501 through the slider 502;

[0064] A fixing seat 504 is fixedly installed near both ends of the base plate 503, and a screw rod 505 is installed between the two sets of fixing seats 504. The screw rod 505 has two screw grooves with opposite rotation directions, and two sets of clamping seats 510 are drivingly connected to the screw rod 505. The two sets of clamping seats 510 are respectively adapted to the corresponding screw grooves.

[0065] When the screw 505 rotates, under the cooperation of the screw groove and the clamping seat 510, the two sets of clamping seats 510 can move relative to each other along the axial direction of the screw 505 to move closer to or away from each other, so as to clamp or release the medicine bucket 208;

[0066] Since the guide rail 501 is arranged inside the pharmacy 1, in order to make the clamping seat 510 clamp the medicine hopper 208 in the center position, so that the medicine hopper 208 can extend out of the medicine outlet 102 for unloading, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, an inclined plate 511 is fixedly installed at both sides of the inner wall of the medicine outlet 102, and a first slide rail 512 is fixedly installed on the inclined plate 511, and a first slide seat 513 is slidably installed on the first slide rail 512, and a limiting plate 514 is fixedly installed on the first slide seat 513;

[0067] At the same time, a clamping plate 614 is fixedly mounted on the medicine hopper 208, and the clamping plate 614 is suitable for the clamping seat 510 to clamp the medicine hopper 208;

[0068] Therefore, when the medicine hopper 208 has finished taking medicine, the first linear module and the second linear module 206 drive the medicine hopper 208 to move to the position between the two groups of clamping seats 510, that is, the medicine hopper 208 extends out of the linear position of the medicine outlet 102. At this time, as the first linear module drives the medicine hopper 208 to move left, one end surface of the medicine hopper 208 is attached to the two groups of limiting plates 514, and simultaneously pushes the limiting plates 514 to move left;

[0069] In order to drive the two groups of clamping seats 510 to move, as Fig. 9 As shown, a first gear 506 is fixedly installed at one end of the screw 505, and a first rack 507 is fixedly installed at the top of the inner wall of the pharmacy 1. The first rack 507 has a smooth area and a first meshing tooth. In the initial state, the first gear 506 is located in the smooth area.

[0070] A second slide rail 515 is fixedly installed on one side of the limiting plate 514 close to the clamping seat 510, and a second slide seat 516 is slidably installed on the second slide rail 515, and a connecting rod 517 is fixedly installed on the second slide seat 516, and one end of the connecting rod 517 is fixedly connected to the clamping seat 510;

[0071] Therefore, when the first linear module drives the medicine bucket 208 to move left, the two groups of limiting plates 514 are pushed to move left synchronously. At the same time, the movement of the limiting plate 514 drives the clamping seat 510 to move synchronously through the connecting rod 517. At this time, the clamping seat 510 drives the base plate 503 to move, so that the first gear 506 is meshed with the first rack 507, and drives the screw 505 to rotate. At this time, the two groups of clamping seats 510 approach each other and synchronously drive the second slide 516 to slide on the second slide rail 515. When the first gear 506 passes over the first rack 507, the two groups of clamping seats 510 clamp the medicine bucket 208 tightly.

[0072] In order to reset the clamping seat 510 after it moves, Fig. 9 As shown, a limiting rod 508 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing seat 504 close to the drug outlet 102, and one end of the limiting rod 508 is movable and penetrates the pharmacy 1, and a first spring 509 is sleeved on the limiting rod 508, one end of the first spring 509 is connected to the fixing seat 504, and the other end of the first spring 509 is connected to the inner wall of the pharmacy 1, and the first spring 509 limits the initial position of the clamping seat 510;

[0073] Therefore, when the first linear module drives the medicine hopper 208 to move left, the fixed seat 504 is synchronously moved left to squeeze the first spring 509, and when the first linear module drives the medicine hopper 208 to move right, the fixed seat 504 is reset under the action of the first spring 509;

[0074] After the medicine hopper 208 is fixed, the second linear module 206 is rotated to prevent the second linear module 206 from contacting the medicine outlet 102 and affecting the normal unloading of the medicine hopper 208. Figure 4 and Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, a rotation switching mechanism 6 is provided on the first sliding seat 205, and the rotation switching mechanism 6 also includes a slideway unit installed on the first sliding seat 205, and the slideway unit includes a first sector block 601 fixedly installed on the first sliding seat 205, and a hinge 602 is fixedly installed on the first sector block 601, and the hinge 602 is composed of a hinge cup and a hinge arm, wherein the hinge cup is fixedly installed on the first sector block 601, and a second sector block 603 is fixedly installed on the hinge arm;

[0075] A curved slideway 607 is provided on the slideway unit, and a side groove (not shown in the figure) is provided in communication with the curved slideway 607. Part of the curved slideway 607 and the side groove are located on the first sector block 601, and the remaining part of the curved slideway 607 and the side groove are located on the second sector block 603.

[0076] In this embodiment, a rotating shaft 619 is fixedly mounted on the third mounting block of the second linear module 206. Both sides of the rotating shaft 619 have protrusions adapted to slide with the side grooves. The second linear module 206 slides in the arc-shaped slideway 607 through the rotating shaft 619. At the same time, an arc-shaped spring 608 is connected between the rotating shaft 619 and one end of the inner wall of the arc-shaped slideway 607. The arc-shaped spring 608 is suitable for pushing the rotating shaft 619 to limit the initial position of the rotating shaft 619.

[0077] A pushing unit is installed on the inner wall of the pharmacy 1, and the pushing unit includes two sets of push rods 609 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the pharmacy 1, and a limiting arc rod 610 is fixedly installed between the two sets of push rods 609, and both ends of the limiting arc rod 610 have arc blocks (not shown in the figure) suitable for pushing the rotating shaft 619;

[0078] It should be noted that the limiting arc rod 610 is located above the second sector block 603, so that when the pushing unit contacts the rotating shaft 619, it will not cause contact with the hinge 602;

[0079] It should be noted that a first electromagnet (not shown in the figure) is fixedly mounted on one end of the inner wall of the arc-shaped slideway 607 on the second sector block 603, and a second electromagnet (not shown in the figure) is fixedly mounted on one end of the inner wall of the arc-shaped slideway 607 on the first sector block 601, and a third electromagnet (not shown in the figure) is arranged on the surface of the rotating shaft 619, so that in the initial state, the first electromagnet, the second electromagnet and the third electromagnet are all energized, and the rotating shaft 619 is at one end of the inner wall of the arc-shaped slideway 607 on the second sector block 603, and is magnetically attracted to the first electromagnet by the third electromagnet, so as to fix the initial position of the second straight die set;

[0080] In this application, Figure 6 For example, a first switch is fixedly installed on a side of the arc block on the left side of the limiting arc rod 610 close to the rotating shaft 619. When the first switch is pressed in an odd number, the first electromagnet is in a de-energized state, and when the first switch is pressed in an even number, the first electromagnet is in a energized state (when the first switch is pressed, the energized state of the first electromagnet changes alternately), and a micro switch is fixedly installed on a side of the arc block on the right side of the limiting arc rod 610 close to the rotating shaft 619. When the micro switch is pressed, the second electromagnet is in a energized state, and when the micro switch is in a free state, the second electromagnet is in a de-energized state.

[0081] like Figure 7 As shown, a support rod 611 is fixedly installed on the medicine hopper 208, and a fixed shaft 612 is fixedly installed on the support rod 611, and a rotating plate 613 is rotatably installed on the fixed shaft 612, and a limiting portion is provided at one end of the fixed shaft 612, and a torsion spring 615 is connected between the limiting portion and the rotating plate 613, and the torsion spring 615 is suitable for limiting the position of the rotating plate 613. In this embodiment, the telescopic end of the vibration cylinder 207 is connected to the rotating plate 613, and the medicine hopper 208 is no longer connected to the telescopic end of the vibration cylinder 207;

[0082] When the first gear 506 passes over the first rack 507, the two groups of clamping seats 510 clamp the medicine bucket 208 tightly. As the first straight module drives the medicine bucket 208 to continue to push, the first sliding seat 205 of the first straight module moves synchronously to the left, and makes the rotating shaft 619 gradually contact with the arc block. At this time, the rotating shaft 619 presses the first switch for the first time, so that the first electromagnet is in a power-off state, so that the arc block pushes the rotating shaft 619 to slide in the arc slide 607 and abuts against one end of the inner wall of the arc slide 607 on the first sector block 601. At this time, the rotating shaft 619 presses the micro switch, and then the micro switch controls the second electromagnet to be powered. At this time, the rotating shaft 619 is magnetically attracted to the second electromagnet through the third electromagnet to fix the position of the second linear module 206. At this time, the second linear module 206 completes a 90-degree rotation to rotate the second linear module 206 to the right side of the medicine bucket 208 (reference Figure 3 ), and at the same time, the second sliding seat on the second linear module 206 drives the rotating plate 613 to rotate to twist the torsion spring 615, so that the second sliding seat is located on the right side of the medicine hopper 208;

[0083] In order to avoid the problem that the slide unit contacts the inner side of the pharmacy 1 as the first linear module continues to move, thereby affecting the medicine hopper 208 to extend out of the medicine outlet 102, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, a rotating shaft 604 is installed on the hinge 602, and the rotating shaft 604 is fixedly connected to the hinge arm and movably connected to the hinge cup, and a second gear 605 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 604, and a second rack 606 suitable for meshing with the second gear 605 is installed on the inner wall side of the pharmacy 1, and the second rack 606 is composed of a smooth portion and a second meshing tooth;

[0084] In the initial state, the second gear 605 is located at the smooth part of the second rack 606, so that when the arc block pushes the rotating shaft 619 to slide in the arc slide 607 to abut against one end of the inner wall of the arc slide 607 on the first sector block 601, and is magnetically attracted to the second electromagnet through the third electromagnet, the second linear module 206 completes a 90-degree rotation, and as the first straight module continues to push, the second gear 605 contacts and meshes with the second rack 606, thereby driving the second sector block 603 to flip along the axial position of the rotating shaft 604, and when the second gear 605 completely passes over the second rack 606, the second sector block 603 is completely The medicine hopper 208 is turned 90 degrees, and part of the medicine hopper 208 extends out of the medicine outlet 102. As the first straight module continues to push, the base plate 503 slides to the limit position on the guide rail 501 through the slider 502, and then drives the medicine hopper 208 to move to the limit position. The second cylinder 214 is started to drive the sealing plate 213 to rotate, so that the bottom end of the medicine hopper 208 is in an open state. At this time, the medicine in the medicine hopper 208 can be poured out and dropped onto the conveyor belt 302, and then dropped onto the unloading plate 304 through the conveyor belt 302, and finally collected by the spiral slide 401 and dropped into the receiving basket 403, so that the pharmacist can check and give it to the patient;

[0085] After the medicine delivery is completed, the first linear module is started again to drive the medicine hopper 208 to move right. At this time, the clamping seat 510 is in a clamping state with the medicine hopper 208, and the clamping seat 510 moves to the right synchronously under the action of the fixed seat 504. As the first linear module moves to the right, it first drives the slide unit to move, so that the slide unit engages with the second rack 606 through the second gear 605 to drive the rotating shaft 604 to reverse, thereby driving the second sector block 603 to reverse 90 degrees to restore the initial state, and as the first linear module moves to the right, the slide unit 604 is driven to rotate 90 degrees. Continue to move rightward, at this time, the rotating shaft 619 is no longer in contact with the arc block on the right side, and no longer in contact with the micro switch. At this time, the micro switch controls the second electromagnet to be powered off, so that the rotating shaft 619 slides in the arc slide 607 under the push of the arc spring 608 and gradually abuts against one end of the inner wall of the arc slide 607 on the second sector block 603. At this time, the rotating shaft 619 presses the first switch for the second time, and then controls the first electromagnet to be powered on again. At this time, the rotating shaft 619 is magnetically attracted to the first electromagnet through the third electromagnet to restore the initial state;

[0086] At the same time, the first linear module drives the second sector block 603 to gradually move away from the limiting arc rod 610. At this time, the two groups of limiting plates 514 are gradually reset. At the same time, the base plate 503 drives the first gear 506 to mesh with the first rack 507 again, so as to drive the two groups of clamping seats 510 to gradually move away from the medicine bucket 208. When the medicine bucket 208 is completely removed from the clamping mechanism 5, the initial state is restored.

[0087] In order to solve the problem that when the medicine hopper 208 moves to the right side of the pharmacy 1, it is inconvenient to take the medicine near the right side of the medicine shelf 101 due to the fixed arrangement of the slide plate 209, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, a third slide rail 616 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the medicine hopper 208, and a third slide seat 617 is fixedly installed on the third slide rail 616, and the slide plate 209 is installed on the third slide seat 617, and a third cylinder 618 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the medicine hopper 208, and the telescopic end of the third cylinder 618 movably penetrates the medicine hopper 208 and is fixedly connected to the third slide seat 617, so as to be suitable for pushing the slide plate 209 to move its position;

[0088] At the same time, the guide plate 215 is no longer fixedly mounted on the slide plate 209, and a rotating motor (not shown in the figure) is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the slide plate 209, and a movable shaft 620 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the rotating motor, and the guide plate 215 is fixedly mounted on the movable shaft 620;

[0089] It should be noted that a displacement sensor is provided on the medicine hopper 208, and the displacement sensor is used to measure whether there is a position change of the medicine hopper 208. Therefore, when the first linear module moves to the left position in the pharmacy 1, the slide plate 209 is in the left position on the medicine hopper 208. When the first linear module moves to the right position in the pharmacy 1, the displacement sensor responds to the third cylinder 618, and the third cylinder 618 pushes the slide plate 209 to move to the right position on the medicine hopper 208. At the same time, the rotating motor responds to drive the movable shaft 620 to rotate, thereby driving the guide plate 215 to rotate, so that the guide plate 215 is tilted to the left, so as to adapt to the taking of medicines on the right medicine shelf 101 in the pharmacy 1.

For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
