[0059] The following is a detailed introduction to the workflow of an automatic dispensing robot of the present invention:

[0060] First, plug in the power supply for the automatic dispensing robot, and the main controller connects to the Internet through the wireless network module; the user enters the mobile phone number and verification code to register the account, and sets the account password; when adding the information of the person taking the medicine, the main controller scans the barcode on the drug package or enters the corresponding digital code through the scanning module; adjust and confirm the medication information according to the prescription on the display screen; the set medicine baffle can isolate the medicine from the outside world. Select to add medicine on the display interface, and after entering the medicine information, you can open the medicine baffle and add the medicine to the corresponding medicine container. The main controller uses an external camera module to enter the facial features of each person who takes medicine after entering the medication information. Multiple people can be added. When the real-time time reaches the set medication time, the system matches the medicine that should be taken at this time, and controls the rotation of the turntable through the motor drive module to transfer the medicine to the automatic dosing device. The system calls the camera module inside the robot to detect the information of the external features of the medicine and capture the minor defects on the outside of the medicine that may affect the quality and safety of the medicine, such as scratches, cracks, stains, etc. The Raman spectrometer is used to detect the spectrum of the medicine to determine whether the medicine is contaminated, damp or deteriorated. The robot then calls the vacuum pump module to create negative pressure through the vacuum pump, extract the medicine from the turntable and transport it to the delivery pipeline. The delivery pipeline is connected to the medicine box to transport the medicine to the medicine box. A photoelectric sensor is provided next to the vacuum pump and above the medicine container. When transporting the medicine, the main controller controls multiple transports according to the entered prescription information. After the photoelectric sensor detects that the number of medicines to be transported has reached, the vacuum source is closed by control, and the robot automatically stops delivering the medicine. If a second user needs to take medicine, the second dose will be administered immediately, and each dose will be placed in the corresponding medicine box to avoid incorrect medication. When the user takes the medicine, the robot recognizes the facial features through the external camera to confirm whether the current user should take the medicine. If so, the corresponding medicine box will be unlocked. Before the face unlock is performed, the medicine box will be locked by the buckle in the system, and the medicine cannot be taken. Each step is announced by the voice module.

[0061] Furthermore, based on the above-mentioned automatic dispensing robot, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for timed drug delivery, which mainly includes the following steps when implemented:

[0062] Step 1. Connect to WiFi or mobile data and log in using your mobile phone number;

[0063] Step 2: Add the person taking the medicine and enter the user's (the person taking the medicine) facial information;

[0064] Step 3: Scan the barcode on the drug package or enter the digital code in the approval number;

[0065] Step 4: Adjust and confirm medication information according to the prescription;

[0066] Step 5: Add the corresponding medicine into the medicine container of the medicine-charging turntable;

[0067] Step 6: If there are multiple people taking medicine, you can add the person taking medicine again and enter the person's facial information and prescription information. One robot can add multiple people taking medicine;

[0068] Step 7: When it is time to take the medicine, the camera inside the robot monitors whether the medicine has changed color, become damp, or other factors that may affect the person taking the medicine;

[0069] Step 8: Use Raman spectrometer to detect the spectrum of the drug; check whether the drug is contaminated, damp or deteriorated to ensure the quality and safety of the drug;

[0070] Step 9: If the medicine is not contaminated, has no obvious mildew or moisture deterioration, and meets the standard for taking, the robot will automatically dispense the corresponding medicine. Otherwise, a voice alarm will sound to prompt you to change the medicine.

[0071] Step 10: Unlock the medicine box corresponding to the person taking the medicine through face comparison. After successful unlocking, take out the medicine box from the medicine dispensing port and then take the medicine.

[0072] In one specific embodiment, the drug detection system is generated by the following steps:

[0073] ① When it is time to administer the medicine, the camera inside the robot detects the external features of the medicine;

[0074] ② After the drug passes the inspection of the internal camera, the Raman spectrometer will detect its drug spectrum;

[0075] ③ If both tests are passed, the drug is qualified and meets the conditions for taking, and the drug can be put into use.

[0076] In a specific embodiment, a user's facial image is acquired through a camera outside the robot and image preprocessing is performed, facial features are further extracted from the preprocessed image, the extracted feature data is searched and matched with feature templates stored in a database, and after a successful match, the medicine box is unlocked.

[0077] From the description of the above embodiments, it can be seen that the present invention provides an automatic dispensing robot and method. The device robot is an intelligent device that combines modern automation technology, embedded systems and medical needs, and is designed to improve the efficiency and accuracy of drug management. Its purpose is to provide services for people who often forget to take medicine, reduce costs, improve the satisfaction of drug users, and promote the construction of smart hospitals; the robot equipment can be used to continuously dispense medicines and monitor the quality of medicines in real time to avoid factors such as moisture and mildew that affect the health of the person taking the medicine, and ensure that the medicines meet the conditions for taking. The robot has the characteristics of compact structure and high dispensing efficiency. The specific advantages are as follows:

[0078] 1. A camera is added inside the robot to detect whether there are scratches, cracks, etc. on the medicine.

[0079] 2. A Raman spectrometer is embedded inside the robot, which can detect whether the drugs are contaminated, damp or deteriorated, thus ensuring the quality and safety of the drugs.
