DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The technical solutions of the application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and through specific embodiments.
[0026] The medicine leakage box of the intelligent medicine dispensing machine of the embodiment, referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 and 2 , comprises a box body 1, a medicine leakage motor 2, a primary control medicine rotating wheel 3 and a secondary medicine leakage rotating wheel 4, the box body 1 is internally provided with a primary medicine storage bin 11 and a secondary medicine storage bin 12 arranged in an up-down manner, the primary control medicine rotating wheel 3 and the secondary medicine leakage rotating wheel 4 are respectively arranged in the primary medicine storage bin 11 and the secondary medicine storage bin 12, the medicine leakage motor 2 is arranged at the bottom of the box body 1, the rotating shaft end of the medicine leakage motor 2 is connected with the primary control medicine rotating wheel 3 and the secondary medicine leakage rotating wheel 4, the bottom of the primary medicine storage bin 11 is provided with a primary medicine leakage hole 111 in communication with the secondary medicine storage bin 12, the bottom of the secondary medicine storage bin 12 is provided with a secondary medicine leakage hole 121 penetrating through the outside of the box body 1, the outer side of the primary control medicine rotating wheel 3 is provided with a plurality of control medicine plates 31, and the outer side of the secondary medicine leakage rotating wheel 4 is provided with a plurality of control medicine channels 43; when the medicine leakage motor 2 rotates, the rotation of the primary control medicine rotating wheel 3 drives the plurality of control medicine plates 31 to pass through the upper end of the primary medicine leakage hole 111 in sequence, and the rotation of the secondary medicine leakage rotating wheel 4 drives the plurality of control medicine channels 43 to pass through the bottom end of the primary medicine leakage hole 111 and the upper end of the secondary medicine leakage hole 121 in sequence.
[0027] The primary control medicine rotating wheel 3 is arranged for guiding the medicine to uniformly fall into the secondary medicine storage bin 12, effectively avoiding the problem of the medicine leakage hole being blocked due to the accumulation of a large amount of medicine on the secondary rotating wheel, thereby greatly reducing the risk of medicine jamming; in the embodiment, the outer side of the primary control medicine rotating wheel 3 is provided with four control medicine plates 31 uniformly distributed, when the medicine is put into the medicine leakage box, the medicine will be randomly distributed in the four spaces separated by the control medicine plates 31 of the primary control medicine rotating wheel 3, avoiding the phenomenon of medicine jamming caused by too much medicine accumulating on the primary medicine leakage hole 111 at the same time; the primary medicine storage cavity improves the medicine storage capacity of the medicine leakage box, reducing the frequency of adding and changing medicine; the rotation of the medicine leakage motor 2 can simultaneously drive the rotation of the primary control medicine rotating wheel 3 and the secondary medicine leakage rotating wheel 4, without the need to arrange additional driving elements, thereby saving the cost.
[0028] Preferably, referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 3 The bottom of the primary medicine storage bin 11 is in a funnel shape that narrows from the periphery to the center. This causes the medicine in the primary medicine storage bin 11 to move to the center under the action of gravity, thereby guiding the medicine to the primary medicine dropping hole and improving the medicine dropping efficiency.
[0029] Preferably, referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 4 and 5 The primary medicine dropping hole 111 is opposite to the secondary medicine dropping hole 121, and the medicine blocking plate 51 is arranged between the primary medicine dropping hole 111 and the secondary medicine dropping hole 121. The height of the medicine blocking plate 51 is adjustable. The medicine blocking plate 51 is arranged between the primary medicine dropping hole 111 and the secondary medicine dropping hole 121, and cooperates with the medicine control channel 43 on the secondary medicine dropping runner 4 to form a small gap, thereby effectively avoiding the medicine from directly falling from the primary medicine dropping hole 111 into the secondary medicine dropping hole 121, ensuring that the medicine must be dropped after one complete rotation of the secondary medicine dropping runner 4, and thereby improving the accuracy and controllability of the medicine dropping.
[0030] Further, the height adjusting plate 52 is arranged on one side of the box body 1, and a plurality of long holes 13 are arranged on the one side of the box body 1. One end of the medicine blocking plate 51 is detachably connected to the height adjusting plate 52, and the other end of the medicine blocking plate 51 extends into the secondary medicine storage bin 12 through the long hole 13. In this way, the height of the medicine blocking plate 51 in the box body 1 is adjusted by detachably connecting the height adjusting plate 52 and the medicine blocking plate 51, and the height of the medicine blocking plate 51 is adjusted to avoid the problem of medicine blocking caused by the interference of some large medicine with the medicine blocking plate 51 due to the inclined placement in the medicine control channel 43. The plurality of long holes 13 arranged on the one side of the box body 1 ensure that the medicine blocking plate 51 can extend into the box body 1 after the height adjustment.
[0031] Preferably, referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 6 and 7 The secondary medicine dropping runner 4 includes a guide runner 41 and a medicine control runner 42. The guide runner 41 is arranged on the top of the runner part, and a plurality of guide inclined platforms 411 are arranged on the guide runner 41. The medicine control channel 43 is detachably arranged on the outer side of the medicine control runner 42. The guide runner 41 is arranged above the medicine control runner 42, so that the medicine falling from the primary medicine dropping hole 111 can slide into the medicine control channel 43 along a predetermined track under the guidance of the guide inclined platforms 411, thereby avoiding the accumulation or blocking of the medicine on the secondary medicine dropping runner 4. The medicine control channel 43 is detachably arranged on the outer side of the medicine control runner 42, so that different sizes of the medicine control channel 43 can be replaced or adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to the dropping requirements of different medicines.
[0032] Further, the limiting block 422 is connected with the primary control wheel 42 through mortise and tenon joint, and the outer side of the limiting block 422 forms the medicine control channel 43. The mortise and tenon joint connection mode enhances the stability of the medicine control channel 43, and ensures that the medicine control channel 43 will not move or fall off due to the impact of the medicine or the rotation of the secondary medicine leakage rotating wheel 4 during the medicine feeding process. The mortise and tenon joint connection of the limiting block 422 and the primary control wheel 42 realizes the detachability of the medicine control channel 43, which enables the medicine leakage box to adapt to medicines of different shapes, sizes and densities. The operator can select the limiting block 422 with the appropriate size of the medicine control channel 43 to cooperate with the primary control wheel 42 according to actual needs, to ensure that the medicine can accurately and stably pass through the medicine control channel 43 into the secondary medicine storage compartment 12.
[0033] Preferably, the optical sensor 5 is provided, and the sensing probe of the optical sensor 5 is arranged at the bottom end of the secondary medicine leakage hole 121. The optical sensor 5 is used to detect the number of medicines falling from the secondary medicine leakage hole 121 and to detect whether a medicine jamming or shortage fault occurs. The optical sensor 5 can accurately detect the number of medicines falling from the secondary medicine leakage hole 121. Through the detection of the optical sensor 5, it is ensured that the number of medicines fed each time is consistent with the preset value, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the medicine feeding. The setting of the optical sensor 5 can also monitor in real time whether a medicine jamming or shortage fault occurs. If the optical sensor 5 still does not detect the falling of the medicine after the leakage motor 2 rotates a certain angle during the medicine feeding process, it can be determined that a medicine jamming or shortage occurs. At this time, an alarm can be issued to remind the operator to handle it in time, thereby avoiding the medicine feeding error or delay caused by the fault.
[0034] Preferably, the connecting shaft 61, the first bearing 62 and the second bearing 63 are further provided, the rotating shaft end of the leakage motor 2 is connected with the bottom of the secondary medicine leakage rotating wheel 4, the first bearing 62 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft end of the leakage motor 2, the two ends of the connecting shaft 61 are respectively connected with the top of the primary control wheel 3 and the secondary medicine leakage rotating wheel 4, and the second bearing 63 is sleeved on the outer side of the connecting shaft 61. Thus, through the setting of the connecting shaft 61, the first bearing 62 and the second bearing 63, the primary control wheel 3 and the secondary medicine leakage rotating wheel 4 are coaxially connected, thereby realizing the simultaneous rotation of the primary control wheel 3 and the secondary medicine leakage rotating wheel 4 driven by a single leakage motor 2.
[0035] Preferably, the control module is further provided, the input of the control module is electrically connected with the optical sensor 5, the output of the control module is electrically connected with the control end of the medicine leakage motor 2, when the medicine jamming or shortage fault occurs, the control module stops the medicine leakage motor 2 from working and outputs an alarm signal. Through the setting of the control module for receiving and processing the signal of the optical sensor 5 and controlling the working state of the medicine leakage motor 2, when the medicine leakage box has the medicine jamming or shortage fault, the medicine leakage motor 2 can be stopped from working, the need for manual intervention is reduced, the efficiency and accuracy of fault processing are improved, and the control module outputs an alarm signal, so that the operator can be reminded in time to troubleshoot and repair, thereby reducing the medicine error or delay caused by the fault.
[0036] The working principle of the present application is that: first, the medicine is poured into the primary medicine storage bin 11, at this time most of the medicine will be distributed in the several spaces separated by the primary medicine control rotating wheel 3 in the primary medicine storage bin 11, waiting for the medicine dispensing signal;
[0037] When the user has a medicine demand, the control module obtains the user's personal data and reads the medicine demand quantity;
[0038] The control module controls the medicine leakage motor 2 to rotate, so that the primary medicine control rotating wheel 3 rotates with the medicine leakage motor 2, and the medicine in the primary medicine storage bin 11 is uniformly scanned into the primary medicine leakage hole 111 in turn;
[0039] After the medicine falls from the primary medicine leakage hole 111, it falls into the medicine control channel 43 outside the secondary medicine leakage rotating wheel 4 under the guidance of the guide inclined table 411 of the secondary medicine leakage rotating wheel 4;
[0040] The medicine leakage motor 2 continues to drive the rotation of the secondary medicine leakage rotating wheel 4, so that the medicine falling into the medicine control channel 43 rotates under the limitation of the medicine control channel 43, until it rotates to the secondary medicine leakage hole 121, and then the medicine falls from the secondary medicine leakage hole 121 to the outside of the box body 1, and the optical sensor senses the falling medicine and the control module counts and determines whether the falling medicine quantity meets the demand quantity;
[0041] When the falling medicine does not meet the demand, the medicine leakage motor 2 continues to rotate and repeats the above steps; when the control module reads that the falling medicine quantity has met the demand quantity, the control module controls the medicine leakage motor 2 to stop rotating, the whole medicine leakage process is completed, and the user is reminded through the display screen and other interactive devices; if the medicine jamming or shortage fault occurs, the control module stops the medicine leakage motor 2 from working and outputs an alarm signal.
[0042] The technical principles of the present application are described above in combination with specific embodiments. These descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present application, and cannot be interpreted as limiting the protection scope of the present application in any way. Based on the explanations herein, other specific embodiments of the present application can be conceived by those skilled in the art without any creative effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the protection scope of the present application.
