DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limitations on the present application. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present application include all changes, modifications and equivalents that fall within the spirit and connotation of the appended claims.

[0028] A fully automatic medicine dispensing machine according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a fully automatic medicine placing machine according to an embodiment of the present application may include a box body 1, a multi-layer medicine placing device 2 and a display device 3, wherein the multi-layer medicine placing device 2 includes a mounting frame 21, a plurality of placement plates 22, a plurality of limit components 23 and a plurality of buckles 24, wherein the mounting frames 21 are respectively arranged in the box body 1.

[0030] It is understandable that the housing 1 is the outer shell of the entire fully automatic medicine placing machine, and is used to accommodate and protect the multi-layer medicine placing device 2 and other electronic components inside. The housing 1 is usually made of strong and durable materials to ensure the stability and durability of the equipment.

[0031] The mounting frame 21 is the main structure supporting the multi-layer medicine placing device 2, and is firmly mounted in the box body 1. The design of the mounting frame 21 enables multiple placement trays 22 to be placed thereon at equal distances and stably, thereby facilitating the placement and use of medicines.

[0032] A plurality of placement trays 22 are arranged on the mounting frame 21 at equal intervals.

[0033] It is understandable that the placement tray 22 is a tray for placing medicines. They are arranged on the mounting frame 21 at equal distances, and each placement tray 22 can independently carry a certain amount of medicines.

[0034] The plurality of limiting components 23 are movably disposed on one side of the plurality of placement trays 22 , respectively, and the plurality of buckles 24 are plugged into the bottom of the plurality of placement trays 22 , respectively.

[0035] It can be understood that the limit assembly 23, as an important component to ensure the safe placement and accurate distribution of drugs, starts to act according to the system instructions.

[0036] Take 2 boxes of medicine as an example: the limit assembly 23 will move downward twice respectively. Each movement corresponds precisely to the release of one box of medicine.

[0037] When the limiting assembly 23 moves downward, it releases the constraint on the medicine on the placing plate 22. At this time, the medicine begins to slide down along the inclined surface due to the inclined design of the placing plate 22. This design not only facilitates the automatic dispensing of the medicine, but also ensures the stability and accuracy of the medicine during the sliding process.

[0038] The buckle 24 plays a key role in buffering the medicine during its sliding down process. It is located at the bottom of the placement tray 22 and is connected to the placement tray 22 by plugging. When the medicine slides to the position of the buckle 24, the buckle 24 can slow down the medicine's sliding speed to prevent the medicine from falling or being damaged due to excessive speed. This design not only improves the safety of medicine distribution, but also ensures that each distribution can be completed accurately.

[0039] When the two boxes of medicines have completely fallen off and are successfully taken out, the limiting assembly 23 immediately returns to its original position. At the same time, the buckle 24 also continues to play its fixing role, ensuring that the remaining medicines will not fall off due to misoperation or vibration. In this way, even when multiple boxes of medicines are distributed continuously, it can be ensured that each box of medicines can stay stably in its proper position.

[0040] The display device 3 includes a display component 31 , wherein the display component 31 is disposed on one side of the box 1 .

[0041] It is understandable that the display component 31 is arranged on one side of the housing 1, and is used to display the working status of the fully automatic medicine placing machine, medicine information and other related information. The display component 31 usually adopts a high-definition display screen to ensure the clarity and readability of the information. Through the display component 31, the operator can conveniently monitor and manage the operation of the fully automatic medicine placing machine, and improve work efficiency and accuracy. At the same time, the display component 31 displays a medicine taking QR code, and the patient automatically takes the medicine by scanning this code.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, the plurality of limiting components 23 each include a slide groove 231 and a blocking block 232 , wherein the slide groove 231 is respectively disposed on one side of the plurality of placement plates 22 , and the blocking block 232 is slidably disposed in the slide groove 231 .

[0043] It is understandable that the slide groove 231 is cleverly arranged on one side of the plurality of placement trays 22. These slide grooves 231 not only provide a sliding track for the blocking block 232, but also ensure the stability and accuracy of the blocking block 232 during movement.

[0044] The blocking block 232 is designed to be slidably disposed in the slide slot 231. This design enables the blocking block 232 to move up and down along the slide slot 231 as required, thereby realizing the restriction and release of the medicines on the placement tray 22.

[0045] The main function of the blocking block 232 is to prevent the medicine from sliding or shifting during placement. When the medicine needs to be distributed, the system controls the blocking block 232 to move downward along the chute 231 to release the medicine; after the distribution is completed, the blocking block 232 returns to its original position to ensure the stability and safety of the remaining medicine.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the display assembly 31 includes a display 311 , wherein the display 311 is disposed on one side of the box 1 .

[0047] It is understandable that the display 311 is carefully arranged on one side of the box 1. This position is convenient for the operator to monitor the operating status of the equipment and for the patient to view the medication information and scan the medication QR code.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a QR code 41, a PLC controller 42, a solenoid valve 43, a cylinder 44 and a gas rod 45, wherein the QR code 41 is set on the display 311, the PLC controller 42 is respectively connected to the QR code 41, and the PLC controller 42 is respectively connected to the solenoid valve 43 and the cylinder 44, the solenoid valve 43 and the cylinder 44 are connected through an air pipe, the solenoid valve 43 and the cylinder 44 are both connected to the gas rod 45, and the gas rod 45 is connected to the blocking block 232.

[0049] It is understandable that the QR code 41 is cleverly set on the display 311 as a key information carrier for the patient to self-service medicine collection. By scanning the QR code 41, the patient can send a medicine collection request to the fully automatic medicine dispensing machine.

[0050] The patient uses a smart phone or other code scanning device to scan the QR code 41 on the display 311, and the system can recognize and process the medication collection request.

[0051] The PLC controller 42 is the brain of the fully automatic medicine dispensing machine and is responsible for receiving, processing and executing medicine dispensing requests from the QR code 41 , as well as controlling the work of actuators such as the solenoid valve 43 and the cylinder 44 .

[0052] The PLC controller 42 is respectively connected to the two-dimensional code 41, the solenoid valve 43 and the cylinder 44. When the PLC controller 42 receives a medicine taking request from the two-dimensional code 41, it sends a control signal to the solenoid valve 43 and the cylinder 44 according to a preset program and logic.

[0053] The electromagnetic valve 43 is a device that uses electromagnetic force to control the on-off of a fluid. In the fully automatic medicine placing machine, the electromagnetic valve 43 is responsible for controlling the on-off of the gas in the air pipe, thereby realizing the driving of the air cylinder 44.

[0054] The solenoid valve 43 is connected to the PLC controller 42, and receives a control signal from the PLC controller 42. At the same time, the solenoid valve 43 is connected to the cylinder 44 through an air pipe, and the gas is delivered to the cylinder 44.

[0055] The cylinder 44 is a device that converts the pressure energy of gas into mechanical energy. In the fully automatic medicine placing machine, the cylinder 44 receives the gas pressure from the electromagnetic valve 43 to achieve the action of pushing the gas rod 45 and the blocking block 232.

[0056] The air cylinder 44 is connected to the electromagnetic valve 43 through an air pipe, and receives the gas pressure from the electromagnetic valve 43. At the same time, the air cylinder 44 is connected to the gas rod 45, and converts the gas pressure into mechanical energy for pushing the gas rod 45.

[0057] The gas rod 45 is the output component of the gas cylinder 44, which transmits the mechanical energy generated by the gas cylinder 44 to the blocking block 232, thereby realizing the restraint and release of the medicine.

[0058] The gas rod 45 is connected to the cylinder 44 to receive the driving force from the cylinder 44. At the same time, the gas rod 45 is connected to the blocking block 232 to transfer the driving force to the blocking block 232 so that it moves along the slide groove 231.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, two transparent glass panels 11 are hingedly provided on one side of the box body 1, and a medicine conveying and taking trough 12 is provided at the bottom of the box body 1.

[0060] It is understandable that the transparent glass 11 is cleverly hinged on one side of the box 1 to form two openable windows. This design not only ensures the transparency of the inside of the box 1, but also facilitates the operator and the patient to intuitively view the drug situation in the box 1.

[0061] The main function of the transparent glass 11 is to provide visibility. Through it, the operator can easily monitor the inventory of medicines in the box 1 and replenish the medicines in time; at the same time, the patient can also clearly see the placement and distribution process of the medicines during the process of taking the medicines.

[0062] The medicine delivery slot 12 facilitates the distribution of medicines from the interior of the box 1 to the medicine dispensing port, making it convenient for patients to take the medicines away.

[0063] Specific use process:

[0064] 1. Preparation

[0065] Check the equipment: ensure that the fully automatic medicine placing machine is in normal working condition, the multi-layer medicine placing device 2 in the box 1 is firmly installed, the medicines have been placed on the placing plate 22 as required, the limit assembly 23 is in the initial position, and the buckle 24 is well connected.

[0066] Replenish medicines: Observe the inventory of medicines inside the box 1 through the transparent glass 11. If the medicines are insufficient, open the box 1 in time to replenish the medicines.

[0067] 2. Patient medication collection stage

[0068] Obtain medication collection information: Patients go to the hospital registration system or self-service terminal to obtain medication collection information, including the medication collection window, drug name and quantity, etc., and obtain the medication collection QR code.

[0069] Scanning the QR code: The patient comes to the fully automatic medication dispensing machine and uses a smart phone or other code scanning device to scan the QR code 41 on the display 311.

[0070] System processing request:

[0071] After receiving the medicine collection request from the QR code 41, the PLC controller 42 parses the name, quantity and location of the medicine to be distributed according to the preset program and logic.

[0072] The PLC controller 42 sends control signals to the solenoid valve 43 and the cylinder 44 to prepare for the dispensing operation.

[0073] Drug distribution:

[0074] After receiving the control signal, the solenoid valve 43 controls the on-off of the gas in the air pipe to provide power for the cylinder 44 .

[0075] After receiving the gas pressure, the gas cylinder 44 pushes the gas rod 45 to move, thereby driving the blocking block 232 to move downward along the slide groove 231 to release the medicine on the corresponding placement tray 22 .

[0076] Due to the slope design of the placement plate 22 , the medicine starts to slide down along the slope, and after being buffered by the buckle 24 , falls into the medicine conveying and taking slot 12 .

[0077] Completed medication collection:

[0078] The patient observes the medicine conveying slot 12, and the medicine taking process ends when the required medicine completely slides down and is successfully taken out.

[0079] The PLC controller 42 controls the limiting assembly 23 to restore its original position to ensure the stability and safety of the remaining medicines.

[0080] 3. Subsequent Operations

[0081] Monitoring and management: The operator monitors the operating status of the fully automatic medicine placing machine through the display component 31, including the medicine inventory status, equipment failure alarm, etc., and handles them in time.

[0082] Maintenance and care: Regularly clean, inspect and repair the fully automatic medicine placing machine to ensure long-term and stable operation of the equipment.

[0083] It should be noted that the control method of the present application can be automatically controlled by a controller, and the control method of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by technicians in this field, which is common knowledge in this field, and the present application is mainly used to protect mechanical structures, so the present application will no longer explain the control method and circuit connection in detail.

[0084] In summary, the fully automatic medicine placement machine of the embodiment of the present application has automated operation that greatly speeds up drug distribution, ensuring that patients receive their medicines in a timely manner. PLC precise control and sensor monitoring ensure that placement and distribution are accurate and improve reliability.
