The two limit plates are connected to the bottom plate 19, and the outer side of the bottom plate 19 is connected to the outer side of the box body 2 through a third spring 21.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a top cover 1 is provided at the top outer side of the box body 2. The top cover 1 is made of colorless transparent material. The top cover 1 covers the box body 2, the moving box 34 and the top of the drug guiding frame 35 at the same time. A second motor 3 is provided on the top cover 1. The output shaft end of the second motor 3 is connected to one end of the screw 24.

[0035] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0036] The medicine dividing box 13 provided in the present invention can distinguish the tablets according to the weight of the tablets and the defective conditions of the tablets, and introduce the tablets below the minimum dosage requirement into the independent space in the medicine dividing box 13, and introduce the medicines that meet the taking requirements into the collecting box 4 for the patient to take. When using the device, first cover the top cover 1 to the top of the box body 2, connect the output shaft end of the second motor 3 with one end of the screw 24, and then energize the limit plates 22 provided on both sides of the bottom plate 19, so that the limit plates 22 attract the rotating plate The fixed shaft 18 connected with the rotating plate 20 rotates along the axis of the fixed shaft 18, and the fixed shaft 18 connected with the rotating plate 20 rotates together with the box body 2. At this time, the box body 2 tilts until one side of the limit plate 22 contacts one side of the rotating plate 20. At this time, the second motor 3 is started, and the second motor 3 drives the screw 24 to rotate. The movable plate 23 on the screw 24 slides along the guide strip 25, and the tablets on the movable plate 23 move up. The tablets moved up will move into the medicine guiding frame due to the tilt of the box body 2. At this time, the oscillation component is started to When a tablet moves to the top of the moving box 34, due to the inclination of the box body 2, the baffle 26 slidingly arranged at the top of the moving box 34 will block the downward movement of the tablet. At this time, the current of the limit plate 22 is gradually reduced to slowly reset the box body 2 to the vertical direction. When the box body 2 moves to the vertical direction, the baffle 26 slightly offset from the horizontal direction will be reset due to gravity and thus break away from the contact with the outer side of the tablet. At this time, the tablet will move downward under the action of gravity, and after being counted by the metering component, it will enter the medicine distribution box 13. At this time, the micro-electronic scale connected to the bottom wall of the medicine distribution box 13 through the guide plate 15 will weigh the medicine. When the weight of the tablet does not meet the requirement, the electromagnet 33 on the side close to the recovery pipe 5 will be energized, and the magnetic block 16 arranged on the same side of the guide plate 15 will pull the guide plate 15 downward, compressing the first spring 17 on this side and deflecting the guide plate 15. The tablet on the guide plate 15 will enter the recovery pipe 5 under the guidance of the guide plate 15, and finally enter the independent space in the box body 2.

[0037] When the weight of the tablets meets the requirement, the guide plate 15 is deflected toward the side of the collection box 4, and the tablets are deflected toward the side of the collection box 4, thereby completing a medicine dispensing operation. For tablets that are taken at a single time in excess of one, the above steps are repeated until the electromagnet 33 near the side of the collection box 4 is energized the number of times equal to the number of tablets that need to be taken. At this time, the patient can directly take the tablets in the collection box 4 to take the correct dose of medicine.

[0038] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention, and the common knowledge such as the known specific technical solutions and / or characteristics in the solution is not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical solution of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can be made, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection required by this application shall be based on the content of its claims, and the specific implementation methods and other records in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
