Example 1

[0010] like Figure 1 , 3 4, the medicine box holder 4 includes a fixed plate 401, a protective shell 402, a buckle 403, a silicone rubber 404, a rotary motor 405, and a sealing sleeve 406; the fixed plate 401 is movably connected to the flip mechanism 1, and a plurality of rotary motors 405 are arranged in an array on the fixed plate 401, and protective shells 402 are respectively arranged outside the rotary motors 405; a layer of silicone rubber 404 is arranged inside the protective shell 402 for sealing, and a buckle 403 is arranged on the top of the protective shell 402 to connect the sealing sleeve 406; the cleaning mechanism 2 includes a high-pressure water spray port 201, an ultrasonic generator 202, a drain port 203, a water inlet 204, and a box body 205; a plurality of high-pressure water spray ports 201 are arranged at the bottom of the box body 205, ultrasonic generators 202 are arranged on the two side walls of the box body 205, a drain port 203 is arranged at the bottom of the rear of the box body 205, and a water inlet 204 is arranged on the top; In this embodiment, when the device is in use, the rotating mechanism at the bottom of the medicine drop box is aligned with the rotating motor 405 and installed, and the sealing sleeve 406 is buckled on the protective shell 402, so that the silicone rubber 404 layer in the protective shell 402 is closely attached to the paper label on the outside of the medicine drop box and the actual medicine sample on the top, so as to seal and protect the paper label and the actual medicine sample on the top. After the medicine drop boxes are installed one by one, the high-pressure water spray port 201 at the bottom of the box body 205 is started, and the medicine drop boxes are flushed respectively. The rotating mechanism in the medicine drop box is driven to rotate by the hydraulic motor to improve the cleaning effect. At the same time, the medicine drop box is limited when it is in an inverted position through the limiting and sealing effects of the sealing sleeve 406. After the flushing is completed and the flushing water is drained through the drain port 203, water is injected into the box 205 through the water inlet 204, and then the hydraulic motor 112 is started to extend the hydraulic motor 112 to drive the mounting plate 114 to move downward, and the medicine drop box is extended into the water. At this time, the ultrasonic generator 202 is started to perform ultrasonic cleaning on the medicine drop box; In this embodiment, the size of the protective shell 402 is set according to the external dimensions of the medicine drop box, and protective shells 402 of different sizes are set according to the sizes of different medicine drop boxes; In this embodiment, the medicine box holder 4 allows the medicine box to be installed quickly and conveniently, thereby improving the efficiency of the cleaning process. The protective shell 402 and the silicone rubber 404 layer can protect the paper label on the outside of the medicine box and the actual medicine sample on the top to prevent damage by water during the cleaning process. The protective shell 402 fixes and limits the outer shell of the medicine box to ensure that the medicine box is stable during the cleaning process. In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 2 can deeply clean the medicine box by combining the high-pressure water jet 201 and the ultrasonic generator 202 to remove stubborn stains and foreign matter such as medicine powder. The ultrasonic cleaning can cover all surfaces of the medicine box, including hard-to-reach areas, to ensure comprehensive cleaning. The high-pressure water jet and ultrasonic technology used in the cleaning process will not damage the paper label on the outside of the medicine box and the actual medicine sample on the top. This solves the problem in the prior art that the medicine box has a complex internal structure, the various components are precisely fitted together, and there are paper labels on the outside and actual medicine samples on the top, which makes cleaning difficult. In this embodiment, the silicone rubber 404 has good elastic recovery properties and can maintain close contact with the sealing surface regardless of static or dynamic sealing. This property enables the silicone rubber 404 seal to adapt to joints of different shapes and sizes, providing a reliable sealing effect and ensuring that the outer paper label of the medicine box and the actual medicine sample on the top are not damaged. Example 2

[0011] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the flip mechanism 1 includes a mounting plate 114, a fixed shaft 101, a connecting rod 102, a base 103, a flip motor 104, a driving gear 115, a screw 105, a driven gear 106, a transmission belt 107, a slider 108, a flip plate 109, a supporting shaft 110, a sliding shaft 111, a hydraulic motor 112, and a mounting seat 113; the mounting plate 114 is arranged on one side of the box body 205, the front end of the mounting plate 114 is provided with a fixed shaft 101, and the middle is provided with a base 103; the connecting rods 102 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the fixed shaft 101; the flip motor 104 is sleeved in the base 103; the front end of the flip motor 104 is provided with a driving gear 115 ; Mounting seats 113 are arranged on both sides of the box body 205; the mounting seats 113 are movably connected to the screw rod 105; a driven gear 106 is arranged at the front end of the screw rod 105, and the screw rod 105 is threadedly connected to the slider 108; a transmission belt 107 is arranged on the driven gear 106 to connect the driving gear 115; support shafts 110 are arranged on both sides of the flip plate 109 to rotatably connect the other end of the connecting rod 102, sliding shafts 111 are arranged on both sides of the end of the flip plate 109 to rotatably connect the slider 108, and a hole is opened in the center of the flip plate 109 to arrange a hydraulic motor 112 to be fixedly connected to the fixed plate 401; the connecting rod 102 is L-shaped; the connecting rod 102 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 101; In this embodiment, the working principle of the flip mechanism 1 is as follows: the rotation of the flip motor 104 drives the front driving gear 115 to rotate, so that the transmission belt 107 drives the screws 105 at both ends to rotate, and the rotation of the screw 105 causes the slider 108 to slide along the screw 105. At this time, the connection between the sliding shaft 111 and the slider 108 is used to drive the front end of the flip plate 109 to slide, and through the connection of the connecting rod 102, since the length of the connecting rod 102 does not change, the vertical distance between the supporting shaft 110 and the fixed shaft 101 does not change, so that the connecting rod 102 pushes the supporting shaft 110 of the flip plate 109 to rise, so that the flip plate 109 is flipped, and the flip plate 109 drives the fixed plate 401 to flip, so that the bottom surface of the medicine box holder 4 is flipped and exposed, which is convenient for installing the medicine box; In this embodiment, the design of the flip mechanism 1 makes the installation and removal process of the medicine drop box more convenient and quick. Through the flip mechanism 1, the medicine drop box can be quickly positioned under the cleaning mechanism 2, realizing an automated cleaning process and improving the efficiency of the cleaning work; In this embodiment, when designing the connection between the flip plate 109 and the fixed plate 401, it is considered that the device is not suitable for using a multi-structure lifting mechanism, which will greatly increase the size of the device. Therefore, a hydraulic motor 112 is used in this design.

[0012] In summary, the flipping mechanism 1 designed in the present invention drives the fixed plate 401 to flip, which is more convenient when the medicine box is installed on the rotating motor 405. The rotating motor 405 and the protective shell 402 are arranged under the fixed plate 401, so that the rotating motor 405 can drive the rotating mechanism of the medicine box to rotate, and the protective shell 402 fixes and limits the outer shell of the medicine box, and the outside of the medicine box is sealed and fixed by the silicone rubber 404 in the protective shell 402 and the sealing sleeve 406 at the top of the protective shell 402 to prevent damage to the external paper label of the medicine box and the top medicine sample during flushing. After installation, the high-pressure water spray port 201 at the bottom of the box body 205 is started to flush the medicine box. After flushing, water is injected through the water inlet 204, and the medicine box is extended into the water through the hydraulic motor 112, and the ultrasonic generator 202 is started to perform ultrasonic cleaning on the medicine box, so as to achieve deep cleaning of the medicine box without damaging the external paper label and the top medicine sample.

[0013] The preferred embodiments of the present invention disclosed above are only used to help explain the present invention. The preferred embodiments do not describe all the details in detail, nor do they limit the invention to only the specific implementation methods described.
