DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0018] See also Figures 1 to 9 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a sorting and conveying system is provided, the sorting and conveying system comprising: a reading device 1, a transmission bin 2 and an opening device 3, the reading device 1 being used to read information on a liquid bag; a placement cavity 20 is provided in the transmission bin 2, the placement cavity 20 being used to place the liquid bag; the transmission bin 2 is movably arranged along a preset track; the transmission bin 2 is signal-connected to the reading device 1, the transmission bin 2 is used to transfer the liquid bag in the placement cavity 20 to a target position according to the information read by the reading device 1; at least a part of the opening device 3 is movably arranged, at least a part of the opening device 3 is used to open a bin cover 212 of the transmission bin 2 moved to the target position, so that the liquid bag in the placement cavity 20 is moved to the target position.

[0019] It can be seen that the sorting and conveying system provided by the present invention is simply provided with a reading device 1, a transmission bin 2 and a bin opening device 3. The reading device 1 is used to read the information on the liquid bag, and the transmission bin 2 is used to transfer the liquid bag in the placement cavity 20 to the target position according to the information read by the reading device 1. It can be seen that the system can quickly and accurately identify the destination of the liquid bag by automatically reading the information on the liquid bag, improve the sorting speed, and can also automatically transfer the infusion bag to the correct target position according to the information, thereby significantly reducing the error rate caused by human factors. At the same time, the transmission bin 2 moves along a preset trajectory to ensure that the liquid bag can be accurately and correctly transferred to the target position. The transmission bin 2 is connected to the reading device 1 in communication, and can automatically transfer the liquid bag to the target position according to the information read, thereby realizing full-process automated operation. In addition, at least part of the bin opening device 3 is movably arranged, and the bin cover 212 of the transmission bin 2 moved to the target position can be opened, so that the liquid bag in the placement cavity 20 can be smoothly moved to the target position. It can be seen that the automatic control of the warehouse opening device 3 not only reduces human intervention and direct contact between personnel and equipment, improves the safety of the operation process, but also reduces the risk of accidents that may occur during the operation. At the same time, by automatically controlling the warehouse opening device 3, the waiting time of the liquid bag during the transmission process can be effectively reduced, ensuring rapid response and processing. The warehouse opening device 3 can quickly and accurately open the warehouse cover 212 of the transmission warehouse 2 to ensure that the liquid bag can be moved to the target position in time, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the entire sorting and conveying system. In addition, the warehouse opening device 3 automatically completes the warehouse opening action, which significantly reduces the labor burden of the staff, especially in the case of frequent warehouse opening. In summary, the sorting and conveying system not only significantly improves work efficiency, reduces human errors, improves safety, and realizes precise positioning and flexible adaptability by automatically reading and sorting infusion bags. It effectively solves the technical problem that the infusion bags prepared by the liquid preparation center of the hospital in the prior art need to be manually sorted and transported, resulting in low work efficiency.

[0020] The target location mentioned above refers to a specific receiving workstation 7 of the liquid bag to be transported which is determined based on the liquid bag information.

[0021] Further, there are multiple receiving workstations 7, and the multiple receiving workstations 7 are arranged at intervals. For example, the multiple receiving workstations 7 are arranged in sequence along the floors, and one receiving workstation 7 is arranged on each floor.

[0022] In the actual working process, the receiving workstation 7 to which the liquid bag is to be transported is determined according to the liquid bag information, and the receiving workstation 7 is used as the target location.

[0023] Further, a unique identifier (such as a barcode or RFID tag) is provided on the liquid bag. The liquid bag provided with the unique identifier is first moved to the reading device 1, and the reading device 1 quickly and accurately reads the information in the unique identifier (such as a barcode or RFID tag) on ​​the liquid bag. Then, the liquid bag is moved to the placement space of the transmission warehouse 2. Subsequently, the transmission warehouse 2 transports the liquid bag to the target position according to the target position of the liquid bag read by the reading device 1 according to the preset trajectory. When the transmission warehouse 2 moves to the target position, at least part of the warehouse opening device 3 immediately works to open the warehouse cover 212 of the transmission warehouse 2. At this time, the liquid bag in the placement cavity 20 slides to the target position, thereby completing the transportation. It is worth noting that the transmission warehouse 2 does not need to stop when it moves to the target position. Through the cooperation of the warehouse opening device 3 and the transmission warehouse 2, during the movement of the transmission warehouse 2 according to the preset trajectory, at least part of the warehouse opening device 3 opens the warehouse cover 212 of the transmission warehouse 2, so that the liquid bag in the placement cavity 20 can slide to the target position quickly and accurately. When the transfer bin 2 completes the conveying and moves away from the bin opening device 3, the bin cover 212 of the transfer bin 2 will automatically close. It can be seen that the transfer bin 2 does not need to stop when it moves to the target position. Through the cooperation of the bin opening device 3 and the transfer bin 2, the liquid bag can slide quickly and accurately to the target position during the movement of the transfer bin 2. This design enables the sorting and conveying system to operate continuously, improving the overall operating efficiency.

[0024] The preset track mentioned above refers to the predetermined path that the transport bin 2 moves in the sorting and conveying system. This path is pre-planned according to the system design and the target location to which the liquid bag needs to be transported. The preset track ensures that the transport bin 2 can move along a fixed route and accurately transport the liquid bag to the destination.

[0025] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sorting and conveying system also includes: a conveying device 4, a reading device 1 is arranged on the conveying device 4, and the reading device 1 is close to the input end of the conveying device 4; the output end of the conveying device 4 is arranged in the direction of the transmission warehouse 2, and the conveying device 4 is used to convey the liquid bag to the placement cavity 20 of the transmission warehouse 2.

[0026] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the conveying device 4 includes a conveying component 41 and a guide component 42. The conveying component 41 has a first conveying channel 410 for conveying a liquid bag. The first conveying channel 410 extends in a horizontal direction, and the liquid bag is placed in the first conveying channel 410. The input end of the first conveying channel 410 forms the input end of the conveying device 4. The reading device 1 is arranged on the conveying component 41, and the reading device 1 is close to the input end of the first conveying channel 410. The reading part of the reading device 1 is located above the first conveying channel 410 to facilitate reading the information in the unique identifier (such as a barcode or RFID tag) on ​​the liquid bag. The guide component 42 has a guide channel 420 for conveying the liquid bag. The input end of the guide channel 420 is connected to the output end of the first conveying channel 410 so that the guide channel 420 is connected to the first conveying channel 410. The output end of the guide channel 420 forms the output end of the conveying device 4. Along the extending direction from the input end of the guide channel 420 to the output end of the guide channel 420, the conveying height of the guide channel 420 gradually decreases. When the liquid bag enters the first conveying channel, the conveying assembly 41 conveys the liquid bag along the extension direction of the first conveying channel 410. When the liquid bag enters the guide channel 420 from the output end of the first conveying channel 410, since the guide channel 420 is tilted downward, the liquid bag can rely on its own gravity to smoothly slide from the input end of the guide channel 420 to the output end of the guide channel 420, and finally slide into the placement cavity 20 of the transmission chamber 2. With such a structural setting, the liquid bag can be smoothly moved to the guide channel 420 through the horizontal conveying of the first conveying channel 410. And the conveying height of the guide channel 420 is designed to be gradually reduced (that is, the guide channel is designed to be tilted downward), and the self-gravity of the liquid bag can be used to assist the conveying, thereby reducing power consumption and improving the conveying efficiency. At the same time, through the inclined design of the guide channel 420, the vertical space can be effectively utilized, the demand for horizontal space is reduced, and the floor space of the entire conveying device is reduced. And the design of combining horizontal conveying with inclined conveying can also enable the conveying device 4 to complete the conveying task of the liquid bag in a smaller space.

[0027] Preferably, the reading part of the reading device 1 is a code reader, which can automatically read the barcode, QR code or other identifiable identification on the liquid bag, so as to quickly obtain the information on the liquid bag.

[0028] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the sorting and conveying system further includes: a first blocking device 5, wherein a first blocking portion 51 of the first blocking device 5 is telescopically arranged on the conveying device 4, and the first blocking portion 51 of the first blocking device 5 is close to the output end of the conveying device 4; the first blocking device 5 has a first blocking state and a first avoiding state; when the first blocking device 5 is in the first blocking state, the first blocking portion 51 is in an extended state, and the first blocking portion 51 protrudes from at least a portion of the conveying device 4, so as to block the liquid bag; when the first blocking device 5 is in the first avoiding state, the first blocking portion 51 is in a contracted state, and the first blocking portion 51 avoids the liquid bag, so that the liquid bag is conveyed to the placement cavity 20 of the transmission bin 2. With such a structural arrangement, by arranging the first blocking device 5, and the first blocking portion 51 of the first blocking device 5 being telescopically arranged, it is possible to accurately control when the liquid bag enters the placement cavity 20 of the transmission bin 2. It is also possible to prevent the risk of the liquid bag falling to the ground when the transmission bin 2 does not reach the output end of the conveying device 4, and it is also possible to prevent multiple liquid bags from entering the transmission bin 2 at the same time, effectively preventing collision or blockage.

[0029] Furthermore, the first blocking device 5 is arranged on the guide assembly 42, and the first blocking device 5 is close to the output end of the guide channel 420; the first blocking portion 51 of the first blocking device 5 is telescopically arranged on the guide channel 420; when the first blocking device 5 is in the first blocking state, the first blocking portion 51 is in an extended state, so that the first blocking portion 51 protrudes from the placement surface of the guide channel 420, so as to prevent the liquid bag from continuing to slide; when the first blocking device 5 is in the first avoidance state, the first blocking portion 51 is in a contracted state, so that the top surface of the first blocking portion 51 is lower than the placement surface of the guide channel 420, so that the first blocking portion 51 avoids the liquid bag, so that the liquid bag slides into the placement cavity 20 of the transmission bin 2.

[0030] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the sorting and conveying system further includes: a second blocking device 8, which is arranged on the conveying assembly 41, and the second blocking device 8 is close to the output end of the conveying assembly 41. The second blocking portion 81 of the second blocking device 8 is telescopically arranged on the first conveying channel 410, and the second blocking device 8 has a second blocking state and a second avoidance state. When the second blocking device 8 is in the second blocking state, the second blocking portion 81 is extended, so that the second blocking portion 81 protrudes from the placement surface of the first conveying channel 410, so as to block the liquid bag from entering the guide channel 420. When the second blocking device 8 is in the second avoidance state, the second blocking portion 81 is contracted, so that the top surface of the second blocking portion 81 is lower than the placement surface of the first conveying channel 410, so that the second blocking portion 81 avoids the liquid bag, so that the liquid bag enters the guide channel 420 from the output end of the first conveying channel 410. With such a structural arrangement, the second blocking device 8 can prevent the liquid bag from entering the guide channel 420 too early, thereby effectively controlling the conveying of the liquid bag and ensuring that the liquid bag can be conveyed in sequence.

[0031] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sorting and conveying system further includes: a third blocking device 9, which is arranged on the conveying assembly 41, and the third blocking device 9 is located between the reading device 1 and the second blocking device 8. The third blocking portion 91 of the third blocking device 9 is telescopically arranged on the first conveying channel 410, and the third blocking device 9 has a third blocking state and a third avoidance state. When the third blocking device 9 is in the third blocking state, the third blocking portion 91 is extended so that the third blocking portion 91 protrudes from the placement surface of the first conveying channel 410, so as to prevent the liquid bag from continuing to move along the extension direction of the first conveying channel 410. When the third blocking device 9 is in the third avoidance state, the third blocking portion 91 is contracted so that the top surface of the third blocking portion 91 is lower than the placement surface of the first conveying channel 410, so that the third blocking portion 91 avoids the liquid bag and allows the liquid bag to continue to move forward. With such a structural arrangement, by setting the third blocking portion 91, it can be ensured that the liquid bag can be moved to the guide channel 420 in an orderly manner after reading the information, and the liquid bag is prevented from piling up in the first conveying channel 410. At the same time, the first blocking device 5, the second blocking device 8 and the third blocking device 9 cooperate with each other to achieve precise control during the liquid bag delivery process, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the delivery system. This effectively avoids collision or blockage of the liquid bag during delivery, and reduces errors during delivery. Furthermore, by precisely controlling the state of each blocking component, it is ensured that the liquid bag can be delivered in a predetermined order and / or time interval, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the system.

[0032] Further, in the initial state, the third blocking device 9 is in the third avoidance state, the second blocking device 8 is in the second blocking state, and the first blocking device 5 is in the first blocking state. Alternatively, in the initial state, the third blocking device 9 is in the third avoidance state, the second blocking device 8 is in the second avoidance state, and the first blocking device 5 is in the first blocking state. Specifically, the initial states of the first blocking device 5, the second blocking device 8, and the third blocking device 9 can be adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0033] Preferably, in the initial state, the third blocking device 9 is in the third avoidance state, the second blocking device 8 is in the second blocking state, and the first blocking device 5 is in the first blocking state.

[0034] In the initial state, the process of transporting the liquid bag starts as follows: When the first liquid bag enters the input end of the first conveying channel 410, the conveying assembly 41 conveys the first liquid bag along the extension direction of the first conveying channel 410. After the first liquid bag passes through the reading device 1, the code reading part of the reading device 1 reads the information in the unique identifier (such as a barcode or RFID tag) on ​​the first liquid bag, and then the first liquid bag continues to move toward the guide channel 420. When the first liquid bag is about to reach the second blocking device 8, the second blocking device 8 switches from the second blocking state to the second avoidance state, so that the first liquid bag enters the guide channel 420, and then the first liquid bag starts to slide down according to its own weight. When it slides down to the position of the first blocking device 5, the first blocking part 51 blocks the first liquid bag. When the transmission chamber 2 reaches the output end of the guide channel 420, and the inlet of the transmission chamber 2 corresponds to the output end of the guide channel 420 (that is, when the position reached by the transmission chamber 2 allows the liquid bag to smoothly enter the position in the placement cavity 20), the first blocking device 5 switches from the first blocking state to the first avoidance state, so that the first liquid bag can smoothly slide down into the placement cavity of the transmission chamber 2.

[0035] When the first liquid bag reaches the position of the first blocking portion 51, the second blocking device 8 switches from the second avoidance state to the second blocking state, blocking the second liquid bag from entering the guide channel 420, while the third blocking device 9 remains stationary. When the second liquid bag enters the position of the second blocking device 8, the third blocking device 9 switches from the third avoidance state to the third blocking state, preventing the third liquid bag from continuing to move forward.

[0036] When there is no first liquid bag at the first blocking device 5 (i.e., the first liquid bag smoothly enters the placement cavity 20 of the transmission bin 2), and the first blocking device 5 is in the first blocking state, the second blocking device 8 switches from the second blocking state to the second avoidance state, and when the second liquid bag enters the guide channel 420 and passes through the second blocking device 8, the second blocking device 8 immediately returns to the second blocking state, and at the same time, the third blocking device 9 switches from the third blocking state to the third avoidance state to allow the third liquid bag to continue to move forward, and when the third liquid bag passes through the third blocking device 9, the third blocking device 9 immediately switches to the third blocking state. The above steps are repeated in sequence to ensure that the liquid bags are transported in sequence, thereby reducing collisions or blockages during the transportation process, reducing the error rate, and improving the overall efficiency of the system.

[0037] Specifically, the sorting and conveying system also includes: a first sensor, a second sensor and a third sensor. The first sensor, the second sensor and the third sensor are arranged on the conveying device 4. The first sensor is used to detect the telescopic state of the first blocking part 51, the second sensor is used to detect the telescopic state of the second blocking part 81, and the third sensor is used for the telescopic state of the third blocking part 91.

[0038] The first sensor, the second sensor and the third sensor are all connected to the control device, so that the control device monitors the telescopic state of each blocking component in real time through the first sensor, the second sensor and the third sensor, thereby accurately controlling the state of the first blocking device 5, the second blocking device 8 and the third blocking device 9.

[0039] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the sorting and conveying system also includes: a transmission device 6, which is arranged at one side of the reading device 1 and extends in a vertical direction, and a transmission bin 2 is arranged on a transmission portion of the transmission device 6 so as to drive the transmission bin 2 to move along a preset trajectory through the transmission device 6; wherein, a bin opening device 3 is arranged on the transmission device 6, and the bin opening device 3 is located at one side of the transmission device 6 close to the target position.

[0040] Further, the transmission device 6 is disposed at one side of the output end of the conveying device 4 .

[0041] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, there are multiple receiving workstations 7, and the multiple receiving workstations 7 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the transmission device 6. The transmission device 6 includes a lifting bracket 61 and a conveyor belt 62. The lifting bracket 61 extends in the vertical direction. The conveyor belt 62 is sleeved on the lifting bracket 61, and the conveyor belt 62 rotates cyclically along the extension direction of the lifting bracket 61. The transmission warehouse 2 is installed on the conveyor belt 62, and the transmission warehouse 2 moves along the movement trajectory of the conveyor belt 62. With such a structural setting, the lifting bracket 61 provides a vertical support structure for the conveyor belt 62, ensuring that the conveyor belt 62 can move in the vertical direction, thereby ensuring that the transmission warehouse 2 can reach the designated receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target position). At the same time, the transmission warehouse 2 moves along the movement trajectory of the conveyor belt 62, which can make the transmission warehouse 2 work cyclically, thereby ensuring that the transmission efficiency is improved.

[0042] Preferably, a plurality of receiving workstations 7 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the number of floors, and the transmission device 6 extends along the height direction of the floor so that the transmission chamber 2 can reach the highest floor. A receiving workstation 7 is arranged on each floor.

[0043] Preferably, the transmission device 6 is a hoist.

[0044] Furthermore, after the transfer bin 2 transfers the liquid bag to the receiving workstation 7 to which the liquid bag needs to be delivered, the transfer bin 2 continues to move along the movement trajectory of the conveyor belt 62, thereby returning to the output end of the conveying device 4 again to continue the conveying work.

[0045] The output end of the conveying device 4 and each receiving workstation 7 are located at the same side of the conveying belt 62 , and the output end of the conveying device 4 and each receiving workstation 7 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0046] Furthermore, there are multiple transmission chambers 2, and the multiple transmission chambers 2 are evenly spaced along the extension direction of the transmission device 6. Moreover, each transmission chamber 2 is encoded in sequence along the extension direction of the transmission device 6. Furthermore, the transmission device 6 also includes a servo motor 63, and the servo motor 63 drives the transmission belt 62 to move, thereby driving the multiple transmission bins 2 to move.

[0047] Furthermore, the servo motor 63 has an encoder for detecting the rotation position and speed of the motor shaft. Meanwhile, the encoder stores the encoding information of the plurality of transmission bins 2 .

[0048] Specifically, Figures 4 to 7As shown, the transmission bin 2 includes a transmission bin body 21 and a roller 22. The transmission bin body 21 has a bin body 211 and a bin cover 212. The bin body 211 is provided with a placement cavity 20, and the bin body 211 has a first transmission port 2110 communicating with the placement cavity 20; the bin cover 212 is movably provided on the first transmission port 2110 to block or avoid the first transmission port 2110; the roller 22 is rotatably provided on the bin cover 212. With such a structural arrangement, the placement cavity 20 is provided in the bin body 211, which can effectively prevent the contact between the liquid bag and the transmission device 6, avoid friction damage that may occur during high-speed operation, protect the liquid bag, and reduce the risk of damage to the liquid bag.

[0049] Furthermore, the top of the bin cover 212 is rotatably connected to the top of the bin body 211 , and the bottom of the bin cover 212 is a free end, so that the bin cover 212 can rotate relative to the top of the bin body 211 , thereby blocking or avoiding the first transmission port 2110 .

[0050] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, the chamber body 211 also has a first inlet 2111, which is connected to the placement chamber 20, and the first inlet 2111 is arranged opposite to the first transfer port 2110. The first inlet 2111 is used for the liquid bag to enter the placement chamber 20, and the first transfer port 2110 is used for the liquid bag to exit the placement chamber 20 and enter the target position. The first inlet 2111 forms the entrance of the transfer chamber 2.

[0051] Furthermore, the height of the first inlet 2111 from the horizontal plane is higher than the height of the first transfer port 2110 from the horizontal plane, so that the bin body 211 is tilted, so that when the bin cover 212 avoids the first transfer port 2110, the liquid bag can slide to the target position by its own gravity. Therefore, no additional thrust or auxiliary equipment is required, which improves the efficiency and accuracy of the sliding of the items.

[0052] Furthermore, the transmission bin 2 further includes a first elastic member 23, one end of which is connected to the bin body 211, and the other end of which is connected to the bin cover 212. When the bin cover 212 blocks the first transmission port 2110, the first elastic member 23 is in a first natural state; when the bin cover 212 avoids the first transmission port 2110, the first elastic member 23 is in a first stretched state. It can be seen that the automatic reset function of the bin cover 212 is realized through the self-restoring force of the first elastic member 23, and it can also ensure that the bin cover 212 can be tightly covered on the bin body 211 when no external force is applied, so as to prevent the liquid bag from falling during the transmission process and improve the stability of the transmission of the carried items.

[0053] Specifically, Figures 4 to 7As shown, the bin opening device 3 includes: a guide member 31, which is movably arranged on the transmission device 6, and the guide member 31 extends along the extension direction of the transmission device 6, and the guide surface 310 of the guide member 31 protrudes from the transmission device 6; the guide surface 310 is used to contact the roller 22 to guide the roller 22; wherein, the guide member 31 has an initial state and an extended state, when the guide member 31 is in the initial state, the guide member 31 avoids the roller 22, and the bin cover 212 is in a closed state; so that the bin cover 212 blocks the first transmission port 2110; when the guide member 31 is in the extended state, the guide member 31 extends toward the direction of the roller 22, and the guide surface 310 contacts the roller 22, so that the bin cover 212 is in an open state, so that the bin cover 212 avoids the first transmission port 2110.

[0054] Furthermore, if Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the guide member 31 has a first guide section 311, a second guide section 312 and a third guide section 313 which are connected in sequence, and the first guide section 311, the second guide section 312 and the third guide section 313 are arranged in sequence along the height direction of the transmission device 6, the guide surface of the first guide section 311 and the guide surface of the third guide section 313 are on the same plane, and the guide surface of the second guide section 312 is protruding from the guide surface of the first guide section 311 and the guide surface of the third guide section 313. The guide surface of the first guide section 311, the guide surface of the second guide section 312 and the guide surface of the third guide section 313 form the guide surface 310 of the guide member 31.

[0055] When the guide member 31 is in the extended state, the guide member 31 extends toward the direction of the roller 22, and the roller 22 first contacts the guide surface of the first guide section 311, so that the guide surface of the first guide section 311 guides the roller 22 to the guide surface of the second guide section 312. When the roller 22 rotates from the guide surface of the first guide section 311 to the guide surface of the second guide section 312, the bin cover 212 rotates upward to avoid the first transmission port 2110 (i.e., the bin cover 212 is opened), and the first elastic member 23 is in the first stretched state. When the roller 22 rotates from the guide surface of the second guide section 312 to the guide surface of the third guide section 313, since the roller 22 gradually returns to the initial state from the height, and then under the action of the restoring force of the first elastic member 23, the bin cover 212 rotates downward to block the first transmission port 2110 (i.e., the bin cover 212 is closed), and the first elastic member 23 is in the first natural state. When the roller 22 leaves the guide surface of the third guide section 313, the guide member 31 returns to the initial state.

[0056] Furthermore, if Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the bin opening device 3 further includes: a first driving assembly 32, which is disposed on the transmission device 6 and is located at a side of the guide member 31 away from the roller 22, and the first driving assembly 32 is drivingly connected to the guide member 31, so as to drive the guide member 31 to extend or reset through the first driving assembly 32. Specifically, the first driving assembly 32 drives the guide member 31 to be in an extended state, or drives the guide member 31 to return from the extended state to the initial state.

[0057] Furthermore, if Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the opening device 3 also includes: a mounting assembly 33 and a connecting portion 34, the mounting assembly 33 is mounted on the transmission device 6, and the first driving assembly 32 is arranged on the mounting assembly 33; one end of the connecting portion 34 is connected to the guide member 31, and the other end of the connecting portion 34 is movably arranged on the mounting assembly 33, and the guide member 31 is movably arranged on the mounting assembly 33 through the connecting portion 34.

[0058] Furthermore, if Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first driving assembly 32 includes: a first driving member 321 and a cam 322. The first driving member 321 is installed on the mounting assembly 33. The driving end of the first driving member 321 is drivingly connected to the cam 322 to drive the cam 322 to rotate through the first driving member 321; when the cam 322 contacts the guide member 31, it drives the guide member 31 to move toward the roller 22, so that the guide member 31 is in an extended state; a reset member 323, the reset member 323 is arranged on the connecting portion 34, and the reset member 323 is used to switch the guide member 31 from the extended state to the initial state.

[0059] Furthermore, if Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the mounting assembly 33 includes a mounting base plate 331, two mounting seats 332 and a mounting plate 333. The mounting base plate 331 is mounted on the transmission device 6, specifically on the lifting bracket 61 of the transmission device 6. The mounting base plate 331 extends along the extension direction of the transmission device 6, and the mounting surface of the mounting base plate 331 is arranged opposite to the receiving workstation 7. The two mounting seats 332 are arranged on the mounting surface of the mounting base plate 331 at intervals along the extension direction of the mounting base plate 331, and the two mounting seats 332 are both protruding from the mounting base plate 331; the two mounting seats 332 are each provided with a connecting hole, and the extending direction of the connecting hole is perpendicular to the extending direction of the mounting base plate 331. There are two connecting parts 34, and the two connecting parts 34 are arranged one by one with the two mounting seats 332. One end of each connecting part 34 is connected to the guide member 31, and the other end of each connecting part 34 is inserted into the corresponding connecting hole. The mounting plate 333 is installed on the mounting surface of the mounting substrate 331. The mounting plate 333 is located between the two mounting seats 332. An mounting space is formed between the mounting plate 333 and a mounting seat 332 located at the bottom end of the mounting substrate 331. At least part of the first driving member 321 is installed in the mounting space, and the driving end of the first driving member 321 passes through the mounting plate 333 and is connected to the cam 322.

[0060] Furthermore, the reset member 323 is a second elastic member, and there are two second elastic members. The two second elastic members are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two connecting parts 34. Each second elastic member is sleeved on the corresponding connecting part 34, and each second elastic member is located on one end of the corresponding connecting part 34 away from the guide member 31. One end of each second elastic member abuts against the connecting part 34, and the other end of each second elastic member abuts against the corresponding mounting seat 332.

[0061] The second elastic member has a compressed state and a second natural state. When the guide member 31 is in the initial state, the second elastic member is in the second natural state. When the cam 322 contacts the guide member 31 and the guide member 31 is in the extended state, the connecting portion 34 moves toward the guide member 31, and the second elastic member is in a compressed state. When the cam 322 is not in contact with the guide member 31, the second elastic member relies on its own restoring force to drive the connecting portion 34 to move in a direction away from the guide member 31, thereby driving the guide member 31 to return to the initial state.

[0062] Specifically, there are multiple opening devices 3 , and the multiple opening devices 3 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple receiving workstations 7 . Each opening device 3 is arranged opposite to each receiving workstation 7 , and at least a part of each opening device 3 is located above the corresponding receiving workstation 7 .

[0063] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, the sorting and conveying system further includes a guide plate 100 extending along the extension direction of the transmission device 6, and the guide plate 100 is arranged on the transmission device 6, and the guide plate 100 is arranged opposite to the bin opening device 3, specifically, the guide plate 100 is arranged on the lifting bracket 61. The transmission bin 2 also includes at least one group of guide wheels 24, one group is two guide wheels 24, and the two guide wheels 24 are arranged on the bin body 211 at intervals. When the roller 22 contacts the guide surface 310 of the guide member 31, the guide plate 100 is stuck in the gap between the two guide wheels 24, and the two guide wheels 24 are in contact with the guide plate 100, and the two guide wheels 24 move along the extension direction of the guide plate 100. With such a structural arrangement, by arranging the guide wheels 24, and the guide wheels 24 and the guide plates 100 are guided and matched, it can be ensured that when the bin opening device 3 opens the bin cover 212, the transmission bin 2 can unload stably.

[0064] When the transport bin 2 completes unloading, the transport bin 2 just completely passes through the guide plate 100 .

[0065] Furthermore, there are multiple guide plates 100 , and the multiple guide plates 100 and the multiple bin opening devices 3 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0066] In this embodiment, the sorting and conveying system also includes: a control device, which is respectively connected to the reading device 1, the transmission bin 2 and the bin opening device 3, and the control device is used to receive and analyze the information of the liquid bag read by the reading device 1, so as to control at least part of the movement of the transmission bin 2 and the bin opening device 3 according to the information of the liquid bag read by the reading device 1.

[0067] Furthermore, the reading device 1 is connected to the transmission compartment 2 via a signal through the control device.

[0068] Specifically, the information of the liquid bag read by the reading device 1 includes the information of the receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target position) to which the liquid bag needs to be delivered, the type of liquid in the liquid bag, such as the name of the medicine, the composition, the batch number of the liquid bag, the storage requirements of the liquid in the liquid bag, etc. Then, the information of the liquid bag read is sent to the control device. After receiving the information of the liquid bag read by the reading device 1, the control device analyzes it, and then controls the transmission bin to transport the liquid bag to move to the receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target position) to which the liquid bag needs to be delivered according to the information of the receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target position) to which the liquid bag needs to be delivered. When the transmission bin for transporting the liquid bag reaches the preset position, the control device controls at least part of the movement of the bin opening device 3, so that the roller 22 of the transmission bin 2 contacts the guide surface of the guide member 31 of the bin opening device 3, thereby opening the bin cover 212, so that the liquid bag loaded in the transmission bin 2 slides to the receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target position), and the sorting and conveying work is completed.

[0069] Furthermore, the control device is also connected to the servo motor 63 signal, and the control device sends a corresponding pulse signal according to the number of the transmission bin 2, so as to control each transmission bin 2 to move to a specified position. By sending a specific pulse signal, the servo motor 63 can accurately control the position of each transmission bin 2, ensuring that the transmission bin 2 can accurately move to the specified position.

[0070] The working process of the servo motor 63 driving a transport bin 2 to move to a target position through the conveyor belt 62 is described as an example: When the transfer bin 2 is required to transport the liquid bag to the target position, the control device reads the encoding information of the transfer bin 2 stored in the encoder to understand the current position of the transfer bin 2. After knowing the current position of the transfer bin 2, the control device sends a corresponding first pulse signal according to the serial number of the transfer bin 2. The servo motor receives the first pulse signal sent by the control device and controls the movement of the conveyor belt 62 according to the number and frequency of the first pulse signal. Thus, the transfer bin 2 is driven to move to the output end of the conveying device 4.

[0071] When the liquid bag slides down to the placement cavity 20 of the transfer bin 2, the control device sends a second pulse signal corresponding to the serial number of the transfer bin 2 according to the target position of the liquid bag, and the servo motor 63 controls the movement of the conveyor belt 62 according to the number and frequency of the second pulse signal after receiving the second pulse signal sent by the control device, thereby ensuring that the transfer bin 2 moves accurately to the designated position.

[0072] In the process of the conveyor belt 62 moving, the encoder will detect the rotation position and speed of the servo motor 63 shaft in real time, and the encoder will feed back the detected information to the control device, and the control device will adjust the motion parameters of the servo motor 63 in real time according to the information fed back by the encoder to ensure that the conveyor bin 2 moves accurately to the specified position. And through the information fed back by the encoder, a closed-loop control system can be formed to ensure that the servo motor drives the conveyor belt to move in an expected manner.

[0073] Furthermore, the control device is also respectively connected to the first blocking device 5 , the second blocking device 8 and the third blocking device 9 to control the movement of the first blocking device 5 , the second blocking device 8 and the third blocking device 9 through the control device.

[0074] Specifically, Fig. 9As shown, the receiving workstation 7 includes: a workstation body 71, a material receiving chute 72, a display screen 73 and a movable receiving box 74. The workstation body 71 is provided with a storage space; the output end of the material receiving chute 72 is located in the storage space, and the input end of the material receiving chute 72 is arranged toward the transmission device 6. The material receiving height of the material receiving chute 72 gradually decreases from the input end of the material receiving chute 72 to the output end of the material receiving chute 72. Then, the material receiving chute 72 is tilted; the display screen 73 is installed on the workstation body 71, and the display screen 73 is connected to the control device signal. The display screen 73 is used to receive the signal of the liquid bag arriving sent by the control signal, the operating status of the sorting and conveying system, the information of the liquid bag read by the reading device 1, etc., and the display screen 73 can send a prompt of the arrival of the liquid bag according to the received information, and send an audible and visual reminder signal to prompt the staff to take it away and send it to the place of use. At the same time, the information such as the sending and receiving of liquid packaging bags and the operating status of the equipment can be queried and traced through the display screen 73. The receiving box 74 is arranged in the accommodating space inside the workstation body 71 , and the receiving box 74 is located below the output end of the material receiving chute 72 , and the receiving box 74 is used to receive the liquid bag coming out of the output end of the material receiving chute 72 .

[0075] Specifically, the sorting and conveying system also includes a fourth sensor and a fifth sensor, both of which are connected to the control device. The fourth sensor is arranged on the bin cover 212 to detect the opening and closing states of the bin cover 212 (i.e., the states of avoiding the first transfer port 2110 and blocking the first transfer port 2110); the fifth sensor is arranged at the input end of the material receiving chute 72 to sense whether a liquid bag falls into the material receiving chute 72. When the fifth sensor senses a signal, it will be fed back to the control device to confirm that the liquid bag has been successfully unloaded.

[0076] Further, there are multiple fourth sensors, and the multiple fourth sensors are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple transmission chambers 2. There are multiple fifth sensors, and the multiple fifth sensors are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple receiving workstations 7.

[0077] Specifically, the sorting and conveying system also includes a sensing device, which is connected to the control device. The sensing device is arranged at the input end of the conveying device 4 to sense whether a liquid bag enters the conveying device 4, and feeds back the sensed information to the control device. After receiving the feedback, the control device analyzes and selects whether to start the sorting and conveying system. At the same time, after the liquid bag delivery work is completed, the control system can also compare the number of liquid bags sensed by the sensing device with the data of the liquid bags sensed by each fifth sensor, so as to ensure that the feeding and discharging quantities are consistent and the accuracy of the liquid bag output is guaranteed.

[0078] Specifically, the sorting and conveying system also includes a terminal, which is connected to the control device to receive information sent by the control device to facilitate subsequent data analysis.

[0079] The working process of the sorting and conveying system is as follows (taking the sorting and delivery of hospital infusion bags as an example): First, when the first infusion bag enters the input end of the conveying device 4, the sensing device senses that an infusion bag has entered, and then feeds back to the control device, which controls the sorting and conveying system to start. At the same time, the control device reads the encoding information of each transmission bin 2 stored in the encoder to understand the current position of each transmission bin 2. The control device dispatches multiple transmission bins 2 to move to the output end of the conveying device 4 in sequence according to the task priority and the position information of the transmission bin 2.

[0080] Secondly, when the conveying device 4 drives the first infusion bag to move to the reading device 1, the reading device 1 reads the information on the infusion bag and feeds back the read information to the control device. At the same time, the first infusion bag continues to move forward. When the first infusion bag is about to reach the second blocking device 8, the second blocking device 8 switches from the second blocking state to the second avoidance state to allow the first infusion bag to continue to move forward. When the first infusion bag advances to the position of the first blocking device 5, the first blocking part 51 first blocks the first infusion bag. When it is detected that one of the multiple transmission bins 2 arrives at the output end of the conveying device 4, the first blocking device 5 switches from the first blocking state to the first avoidance state to allow the first infusion bag to slide smoothly into the placement cavity 20 of the transmission bin 2.

[0081] When the first infusion bag reaches the position of the first blocking portion 51, the second blocking device 8 switches from the second avoidance state to the second blocking state, blocking the second infusion bag from entering the guide channel 420, while the third blocking device 9 remains stationary. When the second infusion bag enters the position of the second blocking device 8, the third blocking device 9 switches from the third avoidance state to the third blocking state, preventing the third infusion bag from continuing to move forward. When there is no first infusion bag at the first blocking device 5 (i.e., the first infusion bag successfully enters the placement cavity 20 of the transmission compartment 2), and the first blocking device 5 is in the first blocking state, the second blocking device 8 switches from the second blocking state to the second avoidance state, when the second infusion bag enters the guide channel 420, when the second infusion bag passes through the second blocking device 8, the second blocking device 8 immediately returns to the second blocking state, while the third blocking device 9 switches from the third blocking state to the third avoidance state, so that the third infusion bag continues to move forward, when the third infusion bag passes through the third blocking device 9, the third blocking device 9 immediately switches to the third blocking state. The above steps are repeated in sequence to ensure that multiple infusion bags are transported in sequence.

[0082] When the first infusion bag slides smoothly into the placement cavity 20 of the transmission bin 2, the control device sends a pulse signal corresponding to the serial number of the transmission bin 2 to the servo motor 63 according to the information of the receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target position) to which the first infusion bag needs to be delivered and the coding information corresponding to the transmission bin 2. After receiving the pulse signal, the servo motor 63 controls the movement of the conveyor belt 62 according to the number and frequency of the pulse signal, thereby ensuring that the transmission bin 2 accurately moves to the designated receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target position).

[0083] In the process of the conveyor belt 62 moving, the encoder will detect the rotation position and speed of the servo motor 63 shaft in real time, and the encoder will feed back the detected information to the control device, and the control device will adjust the motion parameters of the servo motor 63 in real time according to the information fed back by the encoder to ensure that the conveyor bin 2 moves accurately to the specified position. And through the information fed back by the encoder, a closed-loop control system can be formed to ensure that the servo motor drives the conveyor belt to move in an expected manner.

[0084] When the transmission bin 2 loaded with the first infusion bag moves to a preset position, the control device controls at least partial movement of the bin opening device 3 corresponding to the receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target position) to which the first infusion bag needs to be delivered, so that the roller 22 of the transmission bin 2 contacts the guide surface of the guide member 31 of the bin opening device 3, thereby opening the bin cover 212, and allowing the first infusion bag loaded in the transmission bin 2 to slide onto the material receiving chute 72 of the receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target position) to be delivered, and then the first infusion bag slides along the material receiving chute 72 into the receiving box 74, thereby completing the sorting and transportation of the first infusion bag.

[0085] When the first infusion bag slides onto the receiving chute 72 of the receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target location) to which the first infusion bag needs to be delivered, the fifth sensor senses the first infusion bag and then feeds back to the control device. At the same time, when the transmission bin 2 moves away from the bin opening device 3 corresponding to the receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target location) to which the first infusion bag needs to be delivered, the bin cover 212 will automatically close, and then the transmission bin 2 will continue to move following the movement of the conveyor belt.

[0086] While transporting the first infusion bag, the second infusion bag, the third infusion bag and other multiple infusion bags will also enter multiple transmission bins in turn, and each infusion bag corresponds to a transmission bin 2. The control device will generate corresponding pulse signals according to the receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target location) to which each infusion bag needs to be delivered and the coding information of the corresponding transmission bin 2, so that each infusion bag arrives at the receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target location) to be delivered. The specific working process is the same as the above-mentioned process of sorting and transporting the first infusion bag, and will not be repeated.

[0087] The present invention further provides a sorting and conveying method, which is applicable to the sorting and conveying system of the above-mentioned embodiment, and the sorting and conveying method includes: after the reading device 1 reads the information on the target liquid bag, the target position is determined based on the information read by the reading device 1; and the target liquid bag with the determined target position is conveyed to the placement cavity 20 of the transmission bin 2; the transmission bin 2 loaded with the target liquid bag is controlled to move to the target position; when the transmission bin 2 moves to the target position, the bin opening device 3 is controlled to operate to open the bin cover 212 of the transmission bin 2, so that the target liquid bag is moved from the transmission bin 2 to the target position.

[0088] Furthermore, the control device controls the transport chamber 2 loaded with the target liquid bag to move to the target position by controlling the transport device 6 .

[0089] Furthermore, the control device generates a pulse signal corresponding to the transfer bin 2 by giving the servo motor 63 of the transfer device 6 , thereby controlling the transfer device 6 to drive the transfer bin 2 loaded with the target liquid bag to move to the target position.

[0090] Furthermore, when the transport bin 2 loaded with the target liquid bag completes unloading, the control device clears the number of pulses corresponding to the transport bin 2 and re-records the position.

[0091] Specifically, the sorting and conveying method further includes: when the target liquid bag is moved to the target position, the sorting and conveying system sends a reminder signal to prompt the staff to collect the target liquid bag.
