[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic dosing machine with integrated dosing buffer, including a frame frame 1, a medicine frame platform guide rail 2 is fixedly installed on the outside of the frame frame 1, a trolley lifting platform guide wheel 4 is movably installed around the inside of the medicine frame platform guide rail 2, a trolley lifting platform 5 is fixedly installed on one end of the trolley lifting platform guide wheel 4, a medicine frame pusher and retractor 3 is movably installed inside the trolley lifting platform 5, a medicine box turnover frame 13 is movably installed inside the medicine frame pusher and retractor 3, and a touch screen 6 is fixedly installed inside the frame frame 1;

[0030] A servo motor 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the medicine frame platform guide rail 2, and a reducer 11 is fixedly installed on the output end of the servo motor 12. A trolley lifting platform drive motor 9 is fixedly installed on one end of the reducer 11, and a synchronous wheel 10 is fixedly installed on one end of the trolley lifting platform drive motor 9. A counterweight block 7 is movably installed inside the frame frame 1, and the outer surface of the synchronous wheel 10 is transmission-connected with a synchronous pulley group 8, and one end of the synchronous pulley group 8 is fixedly connected to the counterweight block 7. A dosing trolley guide platform 15 is fixedly installed on the outside of the medicine frame platform guide rail 2, and a trolley guide block 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the trolley lifting platform 5.

[0031] The staff uses the dosing system to query the drug demand of the drug dispensing equipment trough and determine the type and quantity of the required drugs. Then, based on this information, they organize the appropriate amount of medicine boxes into the special medicine box turnover frame 13. Then, these turnover frames are loaded one by one into the dosing medicine frame pusher and recycler 3. The trolley is designed with 12 layers of space, which can efficiently accommodate medicine boxes. After the trolley is fully loaded with drugs, it is easily pushed into the interior of the trolley lifting platform 5 with the help of the dosing trolley guide platform 15 and the trolley guide block 14 on the trolley. Then, by touching The screen 6 turns on the servo motor 12 to drive, and the two sets of synchronous wheels 10 driven by the servo motor 12 are connected through the synchronous pulley group 8 and the reducer 11. At the same time, the forward and reverse rotation of the servo motor 12 accurately controls the movement of the synchronous pulley group 8 and the counterweight 7 through this mechanical structure, thereby driving the trolley lifting platform 5 to realize the up and down reciprocating lifting action, and the medicine frame push recovery device 3 is driven to rise slowly through the trolley lifting platform 5. The interval between each action is set to a fixed height to complete the addition of the medicine.

[0032] Utilize the dosing system to query the drug demand of the medicine dispensing equipment channel and determine the type and quantity of the required medicines. Then, based on this information, organize the appropriate amount of medicine boxes into the special medicine box turnover frame 13. Then, load these turnover frames one by one into the dosing medicine frame push recycler 3. The trolley is designed with 12 layers of space, which can efficiently accommodate medicine boxes. After the trolley is fully loaded with medicines, with the help of the dosing trolley guide platform 15 and the trolley guide block 14 on the trolley, the trolley is easily pushed into the interior of the trolley lifting platform 5. Then, the servo motor 12 is turned on through the touch screen 6 for driving. The two sets of synchronous wheels 10 driven by the reducer 11 are connected through the synchronous pulley group 8 and the servo motor 12. At the same time, the servo motor 12 rotates forward and reverse. Through this mechanical structure, the movement of the synchronous pulley group 8 is precisely controlled, thereby driving the trolley lifting platform 5 to achieve a reciprocating lifting and lowering action. The trolley lifting platform 5 drives the medicine frame push recovery device 3 to slowly rise. Compared with the traditional dosing machine, this dosing is facilitated by the cooperation between the servo motor 12, the synchronous wheel 10 and the synchronous pulley group 8 to raise the trolley lifting platform 5 so that the medicine reaches the indicated position and the dosing work is carried out, which significantly improves the efficiency of drug preparation and effectively reduces the workload of pharmacists. It innovatively solves the problem of the lack of a cache in traditional dosing machines. The built-in medicine box turnover frame 13 that can cache 12 layers of medicine is combined with servo control technology to achieve a stable and accurate automated dosing process. This change not only speeds up the supply of medicines, but also eliminates the need for pharmacists to be on duty all the time, thereby significantly reducing labor intensity and allowing pharmacists to have more time to focus on patient services and professional improvement, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of medical services as a whole.

[0033] Among them, the interior of the medicine frame platform guide rail 1 2 is fixedly installed with the medicine frame platform guide rail 2 16, the interior of the medicine frame platform guide rail 2 16 is movably installed with the right medicine frame waiting position 19 and the left medicine frame waiting position 20, and the left medicine frame waiting position 20 is movably installed on the left side of the right medicine frame waiting position 19, the interior of the frame frame 1 is fixedly installed with the medicine frame pusher and retractor 28, the outer side of the medicine frame pusher and retractor 28 is fixedly installed with a servo drive motor 33, and the top of the frame frame 1 is fixedly installed with a CCD vision device 18;

[0034] A synchronous pulley 29 is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo drive motor 33, and a transmission belt 1 34 is connected to the two synchronous pulleys 29. A guide slide 32 is fixedly installed between the two medicine frame pushers and recoveries 28. A pushing bracket 30 is movably installed on the top of the guide slide 32, and a medicine frame vacuum suction cup 31 is fixedly installed on the outside. A medicine frame pusher and recoveries 28 are fixedly installed inside the frame frame 1, and a medicine frame waiting position 27 is provided inside the medicine frame platform guide rail 2 16.

[0035] The staff turns on the servo drive motor 33, and drives the synchronous belt 29 to rotate inside the medicine frame push recycler 28 through the servo drive motor 33, and drives the transmission belt 1 34 through the two trolley guide blocks 14, so that the synchronous belt 29 drives the pushing bracket 30 to move on the top of the guide slide 32, and then the right medicine frame waiting position 19 and the left medicine frame waiting position 20 are sucked by the medicine frame vacuum suction cup 31. The right medicine frame waiting position 19 and the left medicine frame waiting position 20 operate independently, and respectively suck the medicine frames from the buffer areas on the left and right sides, and pull them to the inside of the corresponding medicine frame platform guide rail 2 16. When the left medicine frame waiting position 20 reaches the waiting position, the medicine frame will be sucked out. After the medicine box is in position and the medicine frame in place detection sensor 35 is triggered, the medicine box turnover frame 13 is further pulled to the position of the medicine frame waiting position 27, waiting for the CCD vision device 18 system to process and grab the medicine boxes in the frame one by one. After the medicine box grabbing is completed, the left medicine frame waiting position 20 pushes the empty medicine frame back to the left cache along the original path, and immediately absorbs the next layer of medicine frames, and repeats this process. At the same time, the right medicine frame waiting position 19 is also performing similar operations on the right side. The two are performed alternately to improve efficiency. In the gap when the left medicine frame waiting position 20 pushes the medicine frame, the right medicine frame waiting position 19 immediately processes the right medicine frame, thereby realizing automatic circulation processing of the medicine frame and rapid grabbing of the medicine box.

[0036] Turn on the servo drive motor 33, and the servo drive motor 33 drives the synchronous belt 29 to rotate inside the medicine frame push recovery device 2 28, and the two trolley guide blocks 14 drive the transmission belt 1 34, so that the synchronous belt 29 drives the push bracket 30 to move on the top of the guide slide 32, and the medicine frame vacuum suction cup 31 sucks the right medicine frame waiting position 19 and the left medicine frame waiting position 20, and the right medicine frame waiting position 19 and the left medicine frame waiting position 20 operate independently, from the cache areas on the left and right sides. The medicine frames are sucked up respectively and pulled to the inside of the corresponding medicine frame platform guide rail 2 16. When the left medicine frame waiting position 20 reaches the waiting position and triggers the medicine frame in place detection sensor 35, the medicine box turnover frame 13 is further pulled to the position of the medicine frame waiting position 27 to wait for the CCD vision device 18 system to process and grab the medicine boxes in the frame one by one. After the medicine box grabbing is completed, the left medicine frame waiting position 20 pushes the empty medicine frame back to the left buffer along the original path and immediately sucks the next layer of medicine frame and repeats this process. At the same time, the right medicine frame waiting position 19 is also Similar operations are performed on the right side, and the two are performed alternately to improve efficiency. In the gap of pushing the medicine frame at the left medicine frame waiting position 20, the right medicine frame waiting position 19 immediately processes the right medicine frame. Compared with the traditional dosing machine, the dosing machine facilitates the alternating operation of the left medicine frame waiting position 20 and the right medicine frame waiting position 19 through the cooperation between the medicine frame vacuum suction cup 31 and the pushing bracket 30, thus realizing the comprehensive optimization of medicine box sorting and packaging. Its continuous automated process significantly improves production efficiency, while greatly reducing manual intervention, reducing labor costs and the risk of human error. The introduction of the medicine frame platform guide rail 216 technology ensures accurate sorting of medicine boxes and avoids confusion and omissions. The rational layout of the cache and waiting area not only optimizes space utilization, but also promotes the recycling of medicine frames. The independent operation and alternating mode of the suction cups on the left and right sides give the system a high degree of flexibility and can easily cope with various work requirements. In addition, automation also promotes the standardization of operating procedures and improves overall standardization. The system effectively reduces the labor intensity of staff.

[0037] Among them, the frame frame 1 is internally movably installed with a vacuum suction cup rotation driver 24, one end of the vacuum suction cup rotation driver 24 is fixedly installed with a manipulator dual module 17, one end of the manipulator dual module 17 is fixedly installed with a vacuum suction cup 23, the frame frame 1 is internally fixedly installed with a fixed bracket 36, the interior of the fixed bracket 36 is movably installed with a medicine box conveyor 22, the outside of the fixed bracket 36 is fixedly installed with a medicine box detector 21, the bottom of the fixed bracket 36 is fixedly installed with a medicine box conveyor mechanism drive module 26, and the top of the fixed bracket 36 is fixedly installed with a counting detection sensor 25;

[0038] A driven wheel 37 is movably installed inside the medicine box conveyor belt 22, and both ends of the driven wheel 37 pass through the interior of the fixed bracket 36. A driving wheel 39 is fixedly installed at the output end of the medicine box conveyor belt mechanism drive module 26, and a transmission belt 2 38 is connected between the driving wheel 39 and the driven wheel 37.

[0039] When the right medicine frame waiting position 19 or the left medicine frame waiting position 20 reaches the medicine frame waiting position 27, the staff turns on the visual manipulator and accurately captures the medicine information of the right medicine frame waiting position 19 or the left medicine frame waiting position 20 through the CCD vision device 18 to achieve accurate positioning and data reading of the medicine box. Now the manipulator dual module 17 pushes the vacuum suction cup 23 and the vacuum suction cup rotation driver 24 to slowly descend, and the vacuum suction cup 23 sucks the medicine box in the medicine frame according to the system preset parameters. The manipulator accurately adjusts the rotation angle and placement spacing to arrange the medicine boxes in an orderly manner on the medicine box conveyor belt 22. Now turn on the medicine box conveyor belt mechanism driving module 26, and the medicine box conveyor belt mechanism driving module 26 drives the driving wheel 39 to rotate, and the driving wheel 39 drives the transmission belt 2 38 and the driven wheel 37 to rotate, and the driven wheel 37 drives the medicine box conveyor belt 22 to rotate inside the fixed bracket 36. With the smooth operation of the medicine box conveyor belt 22, the medicine boxes pass through the detection outlet one by one. When the medicine box is accurately counted by the medicine box detector 21 and the counting detection sensor 25, the medicine box passes the detection smoothly, and the vacuum suction cup 23 is immediately seamlessly connected to transfer the medicine box to another conveyor belt, alternating between the left and right sides. All medicine boxes in the medicine frame are accurately taken out to the right medicine frame waiting position 19 or the left medicine frame waiting position 20. At the same time, in the manual dosing mode, when faced with urgent dosing needs, the operator places the medicine boxes one by one directly on the medicine box conveyor belt 22 in the direction of the medicine box entrance, and only places one medicine box at a time. At this time, the counting detection sensor 25 will immediately sense the presence of the medicine box and automatically trigger the conveyor belt to move forward a preset distance to make room for the placement of the next medicine box. The system will clearly prompt the number of medicine boxes that can be placed in the manual dosing mode to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the operation. Even in manual mode, the two conveyor belts can still perform dosing operations alternately, maintaining the same fluency and efficiency as the automatic mode, and flexibly responding to various dosing needs, thereby completing the removal of the medicine from the medicine frame.

[0040] When the right medicine frame waiting position 19 or the left medicine frame waiting position 20 reaches the medicine frame waiting position 27, the visual manipulator is turned on, and the medicine information of the right medicine frame waiting position 19 or the left medicine frame waiting position 20 is accurately captured through the CCD vision device 18 to achieve accurate positioning and data reading of the medicine box. Now the manipulator dual module 17 pushes the vacuum suction cup 23 and the vacuum suction cup rotation driver 24 to slowly descend, and the vacuum suction cup 23 sucks the medicine box in the medicine frame according to the system preset parameters. The manipulator accurately adjusts the rotation angle and the placement spacing to arrange the medicine boxes in an orderly manner on the medicine box conveyor belt 22. Now turn on the medicine box conveyor belt mechanism drive module 26, and the medicine box conveyor belt mechanism drive module 26 drives the drive wheel 39 to rotate, and the drive wheel 39 drives the transmission belt 2 38 and the driven wheel 37 to rotate, and the driven wheel 37 drives the medicine box conveyor belt 22 to rotate. The interior of the fixed bracket 36 rotates, and with the smooth operation of the medicine box conveyor belt 22, the medicine boxes pass through the detection outlet one by one. At this time, they are accurately counted by the medicine box detector 21 and the counting detection sensor 25. The medicine boxes pass the detection smoothly, and the vacuum suction cup 23 is immediately seamlessly connected to transfer the medicine boxes to another conveyor belt, alternating between the left and right sides. All medicine boxes in the medicine frame are accurately taken out. Compared with traditional dosing machines, this dosing machine has a 60% increase in efficiency through a dual-module manipulator and a dual-push rod dosing frame design, which greatly reduces the burden on pharmacists. At the same time, it accurately controls the error rate and builds a solid line of defense for patients' medication safety. In addition, it also promotes the modernization of pharmacy management, realizes the automation and integration of the drug dispensing process, and leads the pharmacy to intelligence. The upgrade process is simple and fast, and does not require large-scale transformation. It can be completed with only minor adjustments, demonstrating its strong practicality and flexibility.

[0041] Among them, a handrail 40 is fixedly installed on the outside of the medicine frame pusher and retractor 3, and the handrail 40 is in a U-shape.

[0042] Since the U-shaped shape is present on the outside of the medicine frame pusher and retractor 3, and the U-shaped design of the armrest 40 is ergonomic, the staff can naturally hold the armrest 40 when pushing the medicine frame pusher and retractor 3, reducing hand fatigue and discomfort. This design also helps workers maintain a correct posture when pushing the medicine frame pusher and retractor 3 for a long time, reducing pressure on other parts of the body.

[0043] A fixing block 41 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the guide rail 32 , and a positioning hole 42 is opened inside the trolley guide block 14 .

[0044] By holding the bolt, slowly place the bolt into the positioning hole 42, and then screw the bolt into the positioning hole 42 and the interior of the frame frame 1, and limit and fix the fixing block 41 by the bolt to ensure the stability of the guide rail 32 during use.

[0045] Among them, a universal wheel 43 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the medicine frame platform guide rail 1 2, and the universal wheel 43 presents four shapes of the same size.

[0046] Since the universal wheels 43 are in four shapes of the same size at the bottom of the medicine frame platform guide rail 1 2 , it is convenient for the staff to push the medicine frame platform guide rail 1 2 to move, thereby improving the transfer efficiency of the medicine frame platform guide rail 1 2 and reducing the work intensity of the workers.

[0047] A support column 44 is fixedly installed inside the frame frame 1, and the support column 44 is made of stainless steel.

[0048] Since the support column 44 is made of stainless steel inside the frame frame 1, and stainless steel has strong corrosion resistance and is convenient for long-term use, the support column 44 can provide stable support for the interior of the frame frame 1, reduce the shaking of the frame frame 1 during use, and improve the use efficiency of the frame frame 1.

[0049] Working principle and usage process:

[0050] The staff uses the dosing system to query the drug demand of the drug dispensing equipment trough and determine the type and quantity of the required drugs. Then, based on this information, they organize the appropriate amount of medicine boxes into the special medicine box turnover frame 13. Then, these turnover frames are loaded one by one into the dosing medicine frame pusher and recycler 3. The trolley is designed with 12 layers of space, which can efficiently accommodate medicine boxes. After the trolley is fully loaded with drugs, it is easily pushed into the interior of the trolley lifting platform 5 with the help of the dosing trolley guide platform 15 and the trolley guide block 14 on the trolley. Then, by touching The screen 6 turns on the servo motor 12 to drive, and the two sets of synchronous wheels 10 driven by the servo motor 12 are connected through the synchronous pulley group 8 and the reducer 11. At the same time, the forward and reverse rotation of the servo motor 12 accurately controls the movement of the synchronous pulley group 8 and the counterweight 7 through this mechanical structure, thereby driving the trolley lifting platform 5 to realize the up and down reciprocating lifting action, and the medicine frame push recovery device 3 is driven to rise slowly through the trolley lifting platform 5. The interval between each action is set to a fixed height to complete the addition of the medicine.

[0051] The staff turns on the servo drive motor 33, and drives the synchronous belt 29 to rotate inside the medicine frame push recycler 28 through the servo drive motor 33, and drives the transmission belt 1 34 through the two trolley guide blocks 14, so that the synchronous belt 29 drives the pushing bracket 30 to move on the top of the guide slide 32, and then the right medicine frame waiting position 19 and the left medicine frame waiting position 20 are sucked by the medicine frame vacuum suction cup 31. The right medicine frame waiting position 19 and the left medicine frame waiting position 20 operate independently, and respectively suck the medicine frames from the buffer areas on the left and right sides, and pull them to the inside of the corresponding medicine frame platform guide rail 2 16. When the left medicine frame waiting position 20 reaches the waiting position, the medicine frame will be sucked out. After the medicine box is in position and the medicine frame in place detection sensor 35 is triggered, the medicine box turnover frame 13 is further pulled to the position of the medicine frame waiting position 27, waiting for the CCD vision device 18 system to process and grab the medicine boxes in the frame one by one. After the medicine box grabbing is completed, the left medicine frame waiting position 20 pushes the empty medicine frame back to the left cache along the original path, and immediately absorbs the next layer of medicine frames, and repeats this process. At the same time, the right medicine frame waiting position 19 is also performing similar operations on the right side. The two are performed alternately to improve efficiency. In the gap when the left medicine frame waiting position 20 pushes the medicine frame, the right medicine frame waiting position 19 immediately processes the right medicine frame, thereby realizing automatic circulation processing of the medicine frame and rapid grabbing of the medicine box.

[0052] When the right medicine frame waiting position 19 or the left medicine frame waiting position 20 reaches the medicine frame waiting position 27, the staff turns on the visual manipulator and accurately captures the medicine information of the right medicine frame waiting position 19 or the left medicine frame waiting position 20 through the CCD vision device 18 to achieve accurate positioning and data reading of the medicine box. Now the manipulator dual module 17 pushes the vacuum suction cup 23 and the vacuum suction cup rotation driver 24 to slowly descend, and the vacuum suction cup 23 sucks the medicine box in the medicine frame according to the system preset parameters. The manipulator accurately adjusts the rotation angle and placement spacing to arrange the medicine boxes in an orderly manner on the medicine box conveyor belt 22. Now turn on the medicine box conveyor belt mechanism driving module 26, and the medicine box conveyor belt mechanism driving module 26 drives the driving wheel 39 to rotate, and the driving wheel 39 drives the transmission belt 2 38 and the driven wheel 37 to rotate, and the driven wheel 37 drives the medicine box conveyor belt 22 to rotate inside the fixed bracket 36. With the smooth operation of the medicine box conveyor belt 22, the medicine boxes pass through the detection outlet one by one. When the medicine box is accurately counted by the medicine box detector 21 and the counting detection sensor 25, the medicine box passes the detection smoothly, and the vacuum suction cup 23 is immediately seamlessly connected to transfer the medicine box to another conveyor belt, alternating between the left and right sides. All medicine boxes in the medicine frame are accurately taken out to the right medicine frame waiting position 19 or the left medicine frame waiting position 20. At the same time, in the manual dosing mode, when faced with urgent dosing needs, the operator places the medicine boxes one by one directly on the medicine box conveyor belt 22 in the direction of the medicine box entrance, and only places one medicine box at a time. At this time, the counting detection sensor 25 will immediately sense the presence of the medicine box and automatically trigger the conveyor belt to move forward a preset distance to make room for the placement of the next medicine box. The system will clearly prompt the number of medicine boxes that can be placed in the manual dosing mode to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the operation. Even in manual mode, the two conveyor belts can still perform dosing operations alternately, maintaining the same fluency and efficiency as the automatic mode, and flexibly responding to various dosing needs, thereby completing the removal of the medicine from the medicine frame.
